Just ahead of last season's MLS Cup when David Beckham whispered into Tim Leiweke's ear that he would not return in 2013, the league has been in need of a game changer.
If credible reports which surfaced this week and straddle both sides of the Atlantic are to be believed, that game changer doesn't arrive in the guise of Kaka and Lampard.
Instead, something of a far longer shelf life and significance and one which will attach at the hip forever more the birthplace of modern football with world football's future and its most strategically important marketplace.
One that would not only allow MLS to push on from a reliance on Becks but in the fullness of time would clearly indicate the world's seventh most important soccer market had not come close to the plateau directly caused by the Beckham effect.
Moreover, it will be proof positive MLS's ultimate summit includes some of the most rarified football oxygen one normally associates with the likes of a Ronaldo swapping Sir Alex for the Santiago Barnebeau.
According to some, we're just weeks away from official confirmation that the 2012 Barclays Premiership Champions, a club founded in a pub back in 1880 are committed to invest upwards of half a billion dollars to the MLS cause.
Manchester City owner Sheik Mansour appears most willing to not only meet the mandated demand of a $100m expansion fee but get this - is fully committed to supply upwards of $400m to meet the capital investment cost of constructing a stadium that will be located a home run away from Yankee Stadium.
This is not so much a movement of the goal posts but more a case of changing the entire future landscape of North American soccer.
However before you get any ideas of Roberto Mancini turning up to the 2016 MLS Draft or the 2012 BPL Champions not protecting the likes of Sergio Aguero or Yaya Toure and well before we lay witness to Ricky Hatton's Vegas like scenes of travelling legions of Man City fans resurfacing in places like Colorado and Salt Lake, this is far from a done deal.
As talks and negotiations reach a pivotal phase the two main players have poured the very cold water of silence on the hottest thing that could ever happen to Major League Soccer. Neither MLS President Mark Abbott nor MCFC CEO Ferran Soriano was available for comment yesterday.
A spokesperson for Manchester City informing TSN.ca the club does not respond or comment on speculation surrounding their ownership group.
Executive VP Dan Courtemanche whilst willing to reinforce MLS's desire for a second New York based team confirmed the vitally essential aspect of ownership was not even in place.
Courtemanche explained via email to TSN.ca earlier today. "Major League Soccer is committed to securing a 20th team for the League that would be located in New York City. While we are making progress on the New York expansion team, we have not finalized the ownership agreement."
When pressed to reveal who the league was in discussions with or to even confirm Manchester City's involvement, Courtemanche deadpanned, "Our discussions with potential ownership groups remain private."As an aside to this, last December, Bloomberg reported that once granted the franchise Manchester City was willing to offer minority stakes to local investors. Additionally, David Beckham had been approached regarding a role with the new franchise.
Putting meat on those particular potatoes, Beckham is the proud owner of a piece of MLS headed notepaper that grants him an ownership stake in a yet to be determined MLS club.
All we do know is what Beckham himself revealed exactly a year ago. In that he had previously met and held discussions with Impact founding partner Joey Saputo.
Doesn't quite add up the Manchester United legend would jump ship to their vastly wealthier noisy neighbour. But as we are well aware stranger things have happened away from the football pitch.
What cannot be over-stated is that at play here is much more than MLS having a league that comprises the exact same number of clubs we have in the likes of Italy, Spain and England.
This involves political and sporting influence which will have touch points within the halls and corridors of the most powerful.
Not only will MLS and MCFC need New York mayor Michael Bloomberg's signature - let's throw in the ferocious and growing local grass roots opposition which has sprung up and is diametrically opposed to 'giving away' very scarce and highly valuable park space in Queens.
A park that already has as a tenant the sparkling new home of the USTA and is the venue of 1 of world sport's premium annual events.
Ladies and Gentlemen we have entered into the myriad and complicated world of a PR war which could confine the long run shenanigans associated with FIFA to the school playground.
Just on Wednesday the UK Independent noted vehement opposition for the stadium from a local Queens based grassroots organisation, Make the Road New York. Who maintain 'the park is the city's lungs' whilst questioning why their land should be 'given away to an oil tycoon'.
A local councillor has questioned the UAE's Human Rights record and touched on the most sensitive issue of how they still to this day view gays and lesbians as criminals and where in some cases their so called crimes can be punishable by death.
The sands of time may also run out on a MLS and MCFC marriage. Mayor Bloomberg a supporter of the project is in the final months of his term.
However the always optimistic leaning MLS are betting all approvals and permissions required will be granted to ensure New York City FC is in place for a 2016 Kick-Off.
Long before that comes the official announcement.
The smart money currently is on some time later this month. Not any random day mind you. It will come on European football's equivalent of a royal marriage. This year set for London on May 25th
Just as Wembley Stadium opens its doors to welcome the cream of European football don't be shocked if UEFA dignitaries appear a little distracted.
Their attention may well be focused on another stadium thousands of miles away and one that has only ever staged previously a pair of football matches.
When on the very same day Bayern and Borussia battle it out for 2013 European supremacy Yankee Stadium will play host to world football's jet set as the 2012 BPL Champions and the 2012 European Champions take to the very plush Yankees lawn.
All be it with certain conditions attached, come the announcement in one New York minute MLS's axis will be launched into a new orbit.
One that nobody could have imagined possible, when less than 20 years ago a brash young lawyer who goes by the name of Mark Abbott was hobbling together MLS's constitution.
Whilst with his cap doffed, Abbot travelled the width and breadth of the US and Canada pleading for investors.

April 19, 2013
The idea of creating a destination district on Gaines Street started more than 20 years ago with a group of citizens. Spurred by this idea, the Tallahassee City Commission committed to investing in major infrastructure improvements. The construction bringing vision to reality reaches a major milestone next week when Segment II of the Gaines Street Project is completed. Equally significant, the public investment in Gaines Street has helped generate more than $128 million in new, private development in the district.
Since 2009, the City of Tallahassee has been working on infrastructure improvements including replacing aging underground utilities and reconstructing the roadway. The goal was to create a pedestrian friendly area with the necessary infrastructure to allow increased development and provide more reliable service to existing customers. The overall vision was to create a vibrant urban corridor with public art displays, businesses and live/work spaces.
To the delight of drivers, pedestrians, businesses owners and patrons who have withstood the dust, noise and traffic challenges, Gaines Street between Railroad and Woodward avenues will be reopened to two-way traffic by noon on Thursday, April 25.
To celebrate the return of two-way traffic, a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 25, on the northwest corner of the intersection at Gaines Street and Railroad Avenue. The public is invited to attend.
Last week the final asphalt surface was placed throughout the project. Before the enhanced crosswalks at Gaines Street and Railroad Avenue and the final pavement markings throughout the project can be installed, the new pavement has to cure for two weeks. This work should be complete on April 24, allowing two-way traffic to resume throughout the project the following day.
"Some initially questioned the Commission's decision to invest in Gaines Street at a time when the economy was down," Mayor John Marks said. "We believed, however, that improving this district would not only help existing businesses but would attract new development. With mixed-use developments like College Town and The Deck, as well as the independent, locally owned shops and eateries that are open in the larger Gaines Street, All Saints and Railroad Square areas, that vision is becoming a reality."
The City has been committed over the last several years to raising awareness of Gaines Street and its area businesses. After two-way traffic has been restored, it will be easier and safer for citizens to travel the area and support these local businesses. From automotive repair and bicycle sales and service to funky fashions and delicious eats, Gaines Street and the larger All Saints District have a lot to offer. By supporting these area businesses, the majority of which are locally owned, citizens are also helping to strengthen the local economy.
Following the opening, enhanced crosswalks will still need to be installed at various crossings along the road, which could require a nighttime closure at some point in the coming weeks. The City heard from several businesses that it was important to reopen the road to two-way traffic as soon as possible, even if it meant a temporary closure at a later date, as opposed to maintaining the one-way until it was fully completed.
As part of this project, Gaines Street was rebuilt with enhanced pedestrian amenities. Work included installing storm drain pipe and electric and communication duct banks; repaving; constructing new curb, gutter and sidewalk; creating seating walls, median islands and bioswales for treating runoff water; planting landscaping; and more.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — As Texas' search to replace Mack Brown winds on, and rumors about Jimbo Fisher persist, Jameis Winston has a thought.
"If Coach Fisher leaves, I'm gonna say, 'Can I go?' "
Are you serious, Jameis?
"Yeah, I'm serious. That's my coach," Winston said Friday – but his grin was wide.
The dream package deal – along with a coach, Texas could sure use a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback – won't happen, if only because of NCAA transfer rules (Winston would have to sit out next season, after which he would be eligible for the NFL draft). And Fisher, whose program at Florida State seems rebuilt for the long haul, seems like a very long shot to become Texas' coach.
WATCH: BCS X-factors
But at this point in that search, we probably shouldn't discount any possibility.
On Friday, Baylor coach Art Briles bowed out, tweeting: "Contrary to reports and rumors I am a Baylor Bear – 2013 Big 12 champs." He later released a statement that said he was committed to Baylor. A while later, UCLA's Jim Mora told the Los Angeles Times he was "committed to being the UCLA coach." As it relates to Texas' search, read into those declarations whatever you'd like – often when coaches remove themselves from consideration, they were no longer under consideration – but it won't be Briles or Mora for Texas. Who's next?
BCS: Florida State built for championship
According to several news reports, Louisville's Charlie Strong is a finalist. Vanderbilt's James Franklin might be, too. And there might be others. Texas athletics director Steve Patterson isn't talking. This week, during an impromptu interview before Texas' loss to Oregon in the Alamo Bowl, Patterson would say only that he wanted a coach and staff in place and operating by Jan. 15, when recruiting reopens after a dead period. He also said, referring to coaching salaries, that Texas was "not out to set any threshold. I think we need to be good stewards of the resources we have."
That sounds good and prudent. But Texas has more resources than any other college athletics department. For the right guy, it's pretty safe to assume Texas would not hesitate to set a threshold. And if the search drags beyond the weekend, people will wonder if perhaps the Longhorns are waiting until the right guy's season is complete.
If not Fisher, maybe Auburn's Gus Malzahn. Or an NFL coach like Jim Harbaugh. Or hey, until the new coach flashes 'Hook 'Em' at an introductory news conference, the seemingly impossible dream – Nick Saban – will still be in play, at least to some.
Saban, Malzahn and Fisher have shot down speculation about Texas in recent weeks. All three got big, new deals that made their really good gigs better. In Fisher's case, though, the speculation hasn't stopped.
His contract extension, signed Tuesday, pays him $4.1 million a year and came complete with raises for his assistant coaches. All it really did, though, was provide him with a tool to deflect questions this week. It did not stop the questions.
This week, Fisher told reporters, "I'm very happy to be (at Florida State). They're very happy to have me."
He'll probably be asked again about the Texas job on Saturday, when he'll be pinned down by reporters for an hour during the BCS National Championship's media day session.
"If you ask Coach Fisher, he's going to say, 'We're worried about winning the national championship,' " Winston said Friday.
If it seems like it could be a distraction to that goal, keep in mind Winston seemed so unconcerned about the possibility, he was secure enough to joke about a package deal that can't happen.
Winston also said that when he was choosing between Major League Baseball or going to LSU, Stanford or Florida State, he wanted to be recruited by Texas but couldn't drum up any interest.
"Texas is my favorite team," he said (he also added that he was an Oklahoma fan, and it's hard to see how that all computes), and he confirmed an often-told story that he and his high school coach tried repeatedly to get the Longhorns to recruit him. Which leads to this question, which Winston declined to answer:
If someone had returned those calls, would the Longhorns be having a coaching search right now?
It seems unlikely Fisher will leave Florida State. But at this point, the only thing that seems certain is Winston won't be going to Texas.

Hey bud, I'm recently seperated from the AF and just got back on here after months of being away. Anyway, I was lookin at your profile and saw we graduated BMT around the same time. I got done with BMT 14AUG2005. I guess a year isn't really THAT close, but close enough. Tech school at Sheppard huh? I heard that place was a pit. I had tech school at Lackland for a month, headed up to Fairchild for Survival Training for 2 months and finally got my 3 level at Keesler after 4 more months. So about February time frame I was stationed at Tinker. Sorry for the wall of text, just cool to run into another AF guy. Take it easy.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
Northeast Mississippi legal cases occupied the headlines throughout 2012, whether on the county or federal level.
Here are updates in some of the most prominent of them:
David Parvin appeal
Former professor David W. Parvin waits in prison to learn if his life sentence will be upheld by the Mississippi Supreme Court.
Parvin, 73, was convicted in 2011 on state allegations he shot and killed his wife, Joyce, at their home near Aberdeen Marina.
His attorneys spoke before the state's highest appeals court on Nov. 19 and claimed expert testimony put on by prosecutors failed to support Parvin's conviction.
They said testimony from three witnesses lacked credibility.
Parvin claims he tripped while walking with a shotgun in his hand, and when the gun discharged his wife was hit as she sat in a chair in their home.
The state said that wasn't possible from what its evidence showed.
Parvin is serving his sentence in East Mississippi Correctional Facility at Meridian.
Becky Jones trial
A new trial was set to begin Feb. 19 in Booneville for Rebecca "Becky" Jones, accused in the May 2010 shooting death of her mother, Jane Jones.
Becky Jones went on trial Oct. 1 but a mistrial was declared when she failed to appear on its third day.
Jones reportedly was in a semi-conscious condition in an Alabama hospital and her attorneys and authorities have yet to know why she became ill suddenly.
Upon her release weeks later, Jones was re-arrested.
North Lee Water update
Former North Lee County Water Association manager Dan Durham awaits sentencing after his Dec. 12 guilty plea to lying about water sample reports to the Mississippi Department of Health and Environmental Protecton Agency.
Durham is the only person accused of any crimes associated with a scandal that brought down the leadership at the non-profit utility. Employees claimed they were forced to work side jobs for Durham while on North Lee's clock and also on properties owned by board president Mitchell Scruggs.
Both men denied the allegations when they were made earlier in 2012.
The allegations fueled a customer protest and state investigations that ultimately brought about leadership and operation changes.
Today, NLCWA has a new manager and a new board, and officials report progress on upgrading the system and how it's operated.
Bostick indictment
Harry Russ Bostick of Oxford faces a 2013 trial in the Oct. 7, 2011, DUI death of 18-year-old Charity Smith.
Bostick, a former IRS agent, was indicted on three counts surrounding Smith's death as she drove her vehicle on U.S. Highway 278.
He and others drew national attention in January, as Gov. Haley Barbour went out of office with some 200 pardons and leniencies.
Before Smith's death, Bostick had three DUI arrests and was going through a court-ordered drug rehab program. With three DUIs, he faced the possibility of imprisonment.
But Barbour's pardon erased that third DUI and a suspended-sentence violation, which had put him into jail.
His trial is scheduled in Pontotoc County.
Aldridge dispute
State Rep. Brian Aldridge and his Tupelo charity, Touched By An Angel Ministries Inc., await action from the Mississippi Supreme Court on their appeal of a chancellor's order that they repay a relative whose estate they spent.
Tagging along with the appeal are Brian's parents, Louis Aldridge and Janice Aldridge.
All three people and TBAAM were sued by Florence Aldridge, 68, after she discovered that while she was ill, her estate she'd entrusted to brother-in-law Louis was gone.
A year ago, a judge ordered Louis and Janice to repay her $552,000, the charity to repay $140,100 and Brian $218,355.
The judge said that while Brian wasn't personally liable for the $522,000-plus his aunt lost, as its CEO, he was legally responsible for the charity through which Louis funneled some of the money.
Meanwhile, Florence Aldridge suffered some health setbacks and resides in an assisted-living facility in Ecru.
Monroe Schools dispute
Trial is set to begin June 3 in Oxford for former Amory Schools principal Leigh Todd's lawsuit against the district and others.
Todd claims then-Superintendent Gearl Loden and special ed director Dr. Candace Moore conspired to thwart Todd's efforts to become curriculum director.
Todd was fired after the well publicized discipline of a second-grader, forced to stick out his tongue for an entire school day.
She seeks to regain her job, as well as actual and punitive damages.
Lee Schools cases
Randy Thweatt, former business manager for the Lee County School District, continues his year-long house arrest after pleading guilty to embezzlement last September.
The 50-year-old was arrested April 17 by State Auditor's agents after he was indicted on two counts of embezzlement involving a 2006 Ford Ranger pickup truck and a district air conditioning unit he was accused of installing in a Starkville mobile home he owned.
Tentatively, he is due to complete house arrest Sept. 5, 2013.
In a separate case, former Lee County Schools superintendent Mike Scott and Tupelo attorney Jamie Franks settled their legal issues against each other arising out of Scott's extramarital affair with Franks' then-wife.
The legal disagreements arose from separate sets of allegations. Scott claimed Franks threatened him with a lawsuit if he didn't resign his elective office. Franks accused Scott of alienating Mrs. Franks' affections leading to their divorce.
Before Franks' case could come to trial, he settled with the school district and then both sides announced in court they'd come to other non-specified agreements to end the disputes.
Bank robbery solved
Robert Thomas Shantz of Georgia admitted in a Tennessee federal court that he'd robbed Tupelo's Trustmark Bank in July 2011.
The admission came as he pleaded guilty to a July 2011 robbery of a Memphis area bank – one of several he committed across the South during that summer.
In October, he was sentenced to 78 months in prison for the Bank of Bartlett armed robbery.
He also agreed to plead guilty to indictments for the other robberies, although no such action has occurred in the Northern District of Mississippi.
Faulkner fights
Nobel laureate William Faulkner's daughter's publishing company wants damages for allegedly unauthorized use of the writer's work.
In two lawsuits – filed North and South Mississippi federal courts – Faulkner Literary Rights LLC complains against Northrop Grumman Corp., the Washington Post Co. and Sony Pictures Classics Inc.
Northrop Gumman published a full-page ad in the Washington Post to memorialize 9/11 while Sony Pictures used a well-known phrase by Faulkner in the movie, "Midnight in Paris."
The lawsuits were filed in late October.
In the Sony case, defendants want the lawsuit moved to Southern New York.
The other apparently was dismissed recently on agreement of all parties, who will bear their own legal costs.
That usually means it's been settled in some way, but likely the terms are not public.
Bowling case
Former Smithville football coach Dwight Bowling's appeal of his 2011 conviction was denied in early December.
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals granted the government's motion to dismiss his appeal, which claimed the court was wrong to sentence him more severely than judicial guidelines set.
Bowling, 57, continues serving a 300-month federal prison sentence for his guilty plea to tampering with a witness and transporting minor boys across state lines for sex.
Civil lawsuits are still active against Bowling and the Monroe County School District and some employees, whom Bowling's victims claim knew about or should have known about his sexual misconduct while he was a district employee.
After Bowling completes his federal sentence, he still faces extensive state prison time for convictions on witness tampering and fondling of young boys.
Bowling's second wife also divorced him.
Scruggs cases
Richard F. "Dickie" Scruggs' appeal arguments are set for early March before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, where his son Zach's appeal was turned down a few months ago.
Dickie Scruggs of Oxford is free on bond while the appeal is considered for his 2009 guilty plea to attempting to improperly influence then-Judge Bobby DeLaughter, who presided over a legal fees lawsuit against Scruggs and others.
Scruggs, 66, contends it was protected "political speech," not bribery, when he offered to help DeLaughter win a federal judgeship.
The 5th Circuit turned down Zach Scruggs' appeal of his 2008 conviction to failing to report knowing a colleague had an illegal conversation with Judge Henry Lackey, also presiding over a legal fees lawsuit against the Scruggses and others.
Zach, who maintains he was innocent despite his plea, urged the court to throw out his conviction because the crime alleged was no longer a crime under a 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision.
Whether he will appeal further wasn't known at year's end.

On March 11, Millsite Golf Pro Steve Burke and Ferron Mayor Kent Larsen began removing the covers from the greens. The covers were originally installed last fall to protect the tender grasses from the harsh winter winds. As an added bonus, with the dry conditions the county has experienced, the covers acted like a snow cover to protect them from the cold. Millsite Golf Course Superintendent Ryan Winn has kept a close eye on the condition of the grass underneath the covers to ensure adequate moisture through the mild winter.
Burke, Larsen and Winn went to Evanston, Wyo. last summer to talk to the superintendents and pros of courses there that have approximately the same weather conditions as Emery County. The pro there reported that after installing the green covers on their golf course, the greens held up better and not only survived the harsh winter conditions, but were thriving when the covers were removed.
With a certain amount of apprehension, the covers were ordered and installed at Millsite. Not wanting a repeat of the destruction to the greens of last winter, Burke, Larsen and Winn decided that the benefits would outweigh the risks. The covers are expected to be used for many years to come. They are durable and can be used year after year. When the covers were removed, the grass underneath was as lush as if it was the middle of summer. The greens had not even lost their color during the winter. They are ready for play now and Burke is looking forward to getting a jump start on the season with the healthy greens. Burke added, "With the greens in this condition and we have all new carts, we will be ready to open fully on March 14. "The crew at the golf course expressed their appreciation to the season pass holders who had supported the golf course last summer during the rough start. The course is offering those loyal patrons a special deal on their passes for the upcoming season. The club house will again be full service with the opening of the proshop. The restaurant, under the management of Rick and Robyn Simons operators of Lotsa Motsa in Castle Dale will be opening March 15. They will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. They will also have snacks and drinks available.

Using a cookie scoop is very important for this recipe, as you want your cookies to be uniform in size when you sandwich them together. The 2-teaspoon-size cookie scoop results in a cookie measuring about 2 inches in diameter. If your scoop is smaller or larger, your yield will differ.
Feel free to use any of the Betty Crocker® Whipped frosting varieties if you can't find the whipped cream flavor.

By TRACY CROWELLSalt Lake City
Dear Editor,
I recently saw the new Paris Hilton ad on TV. As it was running, my teenaged son walked into the room. Appalled at the ad, I quickly attempted to draw my son's attention away. Too late.
I own a Utah-based advertising agency and I like to push creative limits. In fact, I've often been accused of having no taste or limits. I'd call it soft porn but I've really never seen anything soft about porn. Anyway, this ad ran during prime time, and I guess what bothers me as much as anything is that while I can control what programming my kids view, I can't control the advertising they see because it can appear at any time.
Does advertising reflect society or is it a catalyst for change? Advertising is extremely powerful and good advertising is usually on the forefront of cultural trends. This commercial not only pushes the limits of advertising too far, but it will be a catalyst for societal change. (Unfortunately it's not just this ad. Look at all the deodorant ads that are running now and just this week a condom company announced they are going to push for more prime time network airing of their product ads.)
There is nothing good, nothing creative, and nothing of value about the ad. It cheats. It tries to sell with pure sex when there is nothing sexy about the product, a greasy hamburger. Yes, sex will get everybody's attention, but it doesn't usually increase product sales - which is the real objective of advertising. This kind of advertising is an embarrassment to my industry and to the broadcast stations that air them.

|1.S.B. Funding: The recommended budget was met. Significantly more than the recommended minimum budget was allocated to projects specific to this objective.
Progress: Efforts to validate screening tools in diverse populations have begun, including ACF and CDC-funded work with a general developmental screener in Native American populations. More efforts are needed, however, to cover other diverse populations.
Remaining Gaps, Needs, and Opportunities: There is a need for more comparative studies between general developmental screeners and autism-specific tools. Remaining needs in this area are promotion of family engagement and follow-through, training of intervention and primary care providers and family members, and development of free and validated diagnostic tools for international communities.

The national nonprofit Dining for Women began with a goal to reach women in impoverished nations, one potluck at a time.
The effort since 2002 has reached hundreds of women worldwide, with a collective giving model that has raised more than $2.1 million.
Two Sedalia women hope to be part of that model, with a local chapter aimed for expansion.
Betty Purkey-Huck and Sharon Padilla were neighbors and walking buddies who heard about Dining for Women and decided to join the effort. The two, who have lived in Sedalia for 28 and 38 years respectively, found a venue at their neighborhood clubhouse for monthly dinners that double as evening fundraisers.
The Dining for Women concept is akin to a girls' night out, with a mission. Members are encouraged to bring a dish for "dining in" and invited to contribute their "dining out" dollars — the money they would have otherwise spent on a lunch or a night out — to the campaign. The money raised is pooled with that of more than 400 chapters nationwide to fund qualified programs that foster health, education, and economic self‐sufficiency among women living in extreme poverty.
With 9,800 members, the effort was ranked in 2012 by greatnonprofits.org as a top-rated nonprofit. The organization aims for charities that provide aid in impoverished nations and has reached cancer patients in El Salvador, victims of war in Afghanistan and girls victimized by sex trafficking in Southeast Asia.
"It's like a learning experience because every month we reach two charities," said Purkey-Huck. "Now that it's grown so big our money doesn't get lost in the shuffle. You always know there's poverty in the world, but by helping all over the world you see changes being made."
The Sedalia chapter is aiming for local growth and is gauging interest among its neighbors in Castle Rock. The chapter has contributed about $1,500 since its inception. The number might seem modest but, once pooled, has an impact, Purkey-Huck said.
"It is so exhilarating to me, it is so exciting," she said. "Every month you feel like you're making a difference. It's so life-changing for these young women."
The Dining for Women Sedalia chapter meets the third Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. at the Indian Creek Clubhouse, 7149 W. Cherokee Drive, in the Indian Creek Subdivision in Sedalia. Each meeting includes a presentation about the charities reached that month, with a report provided by the national headquarters.
The chapter is hosting an informational meeting from 7-8:30 p.m., Feb. 13, in the Wells Fargo room of the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock. Refreshments will be provided. To RSVP or for more information about the local chapter, email Purkey-Huck at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 303-688-4983 or 303-688-9031.

Clay-colored Thrush in Eldorado, TX
Yesterday evening (19 May, 2012), my wife and I were slowly driving through neighborhoods in Eldorado, TX in search of common city birds that aren't always easily located in the arid landscapes of West Texas. We wanted to find things like Blue Jay, Rock Pigeon, and American Robin, for our Schleicher County list. (We're doing the Texas Century Club, trying to see 100 or more species in 100 different counties of Texas.)
As we drove through one neighborhood, I heard a song that I immediately took for an American Robin. At least until it started throwing in some phrases that most certainly weren't American Robin. I assumed it was a Northern Mockingbird doing a damn good impression of an American Robin. I noticed a bird sitting on the top of a planter in a front yard that appeared to be the source of the sound. The light wasn't good and the bird was distant, but I noticed it had a pale throat. I also had a brief impression that the bill was olive-colored, and for an instant, Clay-colored Thrush entered my mind. This thought was so fleeting, so vague, that I immediately dismissed such an absurd notion and wrote off my impression as careless birding.
That is until I turned in front of the house and set my binoculars on a Clay-colored Thrush, in all it's drab glory. I had left my good camera and telephoto lens at home (of course) but was able to digiscope a number of satisfactory shots.
So, where was this masterpiece of thrushdom found? The bird was originally seen in the front yard of 209 E Redwood St, Eldorado, TX. He flew (much to my distress since I hadn't gotten an acceptable picture at this point) but was eventually refound in the front yard directly across the street, 208 E Redwood St. The thrush interacted several times with an American Robin, foraging beside it and then getting chased off by it at one point.
The GPS coordinates to this location are 30.867886, -100.602359. Here's a Google map to help as well. It's not far off Hwy 277. As always, please be respectful and courteous to the neighbors if you go look for the bird.
One possibility that deserves brief discussion is the origin of the bird. Since Clay-colored Thrushes are sometimes the victim of illegal smuggling as caged birds from Latin America, there's always the possibility when one turns up, it's not there on its own accord. To this I simply point out that this is a species that breeds in Texas and is rapidly expanding its range northward. It has increasing turned up in unexpected places east of (along the coast) and north of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. There are at least a couple of records to the south of Eldorado in Uvalde County. Add to the fact that the bird shows no abrasion to its tail feathers or wings, and I say its more likely a wild bird than a caged.
To my knowledge, this is the first record for Schleicher County and a very northern record for a species that is rapidly moving north. Clay-colored Thrushes may breed in Amarillo by the time I'm an old man, but for now, it was a very exciting find.

At a public forum organized by the City of Springfield, Penn National Gaming and MGM Resorts, two companies vying for the region's single casino license, presented their proposals to city residents. Each proposed casino would cost upwards of $800 million dollars.
Both companies spent much of their respective 45-minute presentations highlighting their commitments to the revitalization of Springfield to the over 200 residents in attendance.
Penn National is proposing a casino in the city's North End on land currently owned by the Republican newspaper and Peter Pan Bus lines, which would require both businesses to relocate. Jay Snowden, vice President of regional operations at Penn National says relocating those businesses would spread economic growth across the city.
"Call it a renaissance, call it a revitalization, we're going to create economic activity in other areas of Springfield besides just the casino parcel."
Bill Hornbuckle, president of MGM, which is proposing a casino in the city's South End, emphasized that the company's casino would revitalize main street, but also stressed that other entertainment like a cineplex and bowling alley would be on offer at its resort.
"You don't need to go into the casino, you don't need to touch that if you don't choose to, but [it's] something to reinvigorate, and bring people back downtown."
Following the presentations, Residents voiced concerns about traffic, crime, jobs, and problem gambling in a question and answer session. But most in attendance expressed support for a casino. Theresa Cooper Gordon of Holyoke, says the presentations convinced her of the regional benefits of a casino as both companies highlighted their support for a number of local non-profits and community organizations.
"I was quite impressed. I was quite impressed with the commitment to give back."
The developers have until January 3rd to submit formal proposals to the city.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Once again I have to suck it up and admit that my way might not have been the best way. I also have to admit that I needed the assistance of my wife, which must be against the guy's code of ethics or something like that. But then when the desired results start to happen, how can I possibly be disappointed. I can't.
I am back to that weight thing. I am back to that evil little secret, but if you ever saw me you know that it was no secret, that I was still slightly over the government recommended weight allowance. Okay it was not slightly, it was a lot.
Being of the age that I am, I went to the doctor for a physical. Their scales do not lie or at least that is what they tell me. I weighed 284 pounds. There were people on the Biggest Loser that did not weight that much and they looked awful. I went to the mirror more than once to justify my excuses but I never really convinced myself that I was right. So now here is the story.
I hate to admit that I was wrong but wrong is what I was. I always hated scales, probably because then you had to be responsible for what they said. But now I realize that in order to measure what it is you are doing, in this case weight loss, you had to have a measuring device, a scale.
So a scale we have. Next I charted goals of where I wanted to be and how quickly I wanted to get there. And finally, on my bathroom wall right next to the mirror, I put up a picture of me in all my glory lying on a beach. I think I look like a beached whale, now that I really look at the picture. And then came the final two pieces of the equation if I really wanted to be successful.
First I got a support group, starting with my wife. And to be completely honest, my wife actually started this mess first. If you cannot beat them, join them and so I did. Whoever lives with you has to buy into the project. I also have friends that help along the way with their encouragement and competition. Finally you have to have a commitment to changing your ways because in order to be successful, major change is necessary.
I have had a lifestyle change, which is probably the hardest thing that I have ever done. Different foods, different eating patterns, daily exercise, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, no soda, lots of water and the list could go on and on but those are the major items. No more chocolate donuts, no Hostess pies, no french fries, almost no fast foods. Walking, treadmills, racquetball, basketball or anything that makes you sweat and almost everyday, sometimes twice.
It is work, it was work and has it worked, it sure has. I have lost more than 60 pounds and I figure that within the next two months I will be where I want to end up. And that may produce the next chapter of life, staying there. But that will be then not now. And what do I get for the effort. A good feeling inside knowing that I have worked to improve my quality of life, to fend off possible diabetes and joint problems, to continue enjoying life to the fullest. And how about you? Can you do it? Do you care? My answer is "life is better." Do it, you can.

Preventing house fires should always be a priority, but if you're like most Americans, you think you're at very little risk of ever experiencing a house fire [1]. This attitude, however, can be almost as dangerous as fire itself. Outside of the former Soviet Bloc, Americans have the highest fire death rate in the industrialized world. In fact, in the past year there were 530,500 structure fires that caused 3,000 civilian deaths, 15,350 civilian injuries and $10.6 billion in property damage, according to the National Fire Prevention Association [2].
As a former professional home inspector who has been through thousands of homes, I've become a skilled observer of the obvious -- and not so obvious -- sources of house fires. When outside temperatures drop, fire risks increase. To keep your family safe [3] and prevent house fires, consider the following.
Healthy heating equipment
Faulty heating equipment (including furnaces, fireplaces, wood stoves and portable heaters) is the second leading cause of fire deaths. To prevent a fire in your house [4], get your heating equipment in tip-top shape:
Smart smoke detectors. All smoke detectors [7] are the same, right? Wrong! Old-technology smoke detectors have an ionic sensor that sets off the alarm when it "sees" fire. Newer photoelectric sensors, around for the last couple of years, are more sensitive to slow, smoldering fires. Together, these two smoke detector [7] technologies provide a greater degree of protection and prevention against household fires.
Expect to pay about $30 for a combination photoelectric and ionic smoke detector [8]. If your budget is tight, however, don't wait until you can afford the more expensive units. Ionic sensors alone are still effective and can be purchased for about $10. An important smoke detector feature to look for is a reset or "silencer" button. This lets you shut down the detector for about 10 minutes when nuisance alarms occur, like burnt toast. Once the smoke clears, the unit goes back to full alert.
Effective extinguishers. Before you buy so much as another potted plant to fill up your house, make sure it's protected by adequate fire extinguishers [9]. Like smoke detectors, there are different types for different fires. The kitchen is the most common source of household fires so make sure it is equipped with one rated Type B-C. This means it is effective in fighting grease, as well as electrical fires. Type B-C extinguishers are also appropriate for the garage or workshop. For the rest of the house, purchase a combination unit rated Type A-B-C, meaning it will cover fires fueled by wood, grease or electricity. At least one fire extinguisher [10] per floor is recommended for the prevention of house fires.

What's worth watching, and what might not be, in prime time Sunday.
Killing Kennedy
National Geographic, Sunday, 8 ET/PT
Rob Lowe stars as John F. Kennedy in this adaptation of the best-selling book by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard. The film is designed to take dual tracks, as it follows both Lee Harvey Oswald (Will Rothhaar) and JFK as they make their way to their fatal meeting in Dallas.
Showtime, Sunday, 9 ET/PT
Happy as I am with the prospect of possibly seeing less of Dana as she moves out of the house, there are some questions I'd like answered. What kind of parent sends her emotionally disturbed daughter off to live with a total stranger, with only minimal objections and without even bothering to ask about her daughter's new home? And more important, do the show's writers realize that having people behave this way causes us to question their sanity and our loyalty — and does it plan to deal with those questions? Because the best shows do: Right at the moment when you think they haven't thought things through, they turn around and prove that they have.
The Mentalist
CBS, Sunday, 10:30 ET/PT
The Mentalist airs the episode that got pushed out by football last week, as Jane gathers five Red John suspects in hopes of finally revealing his identity. Don't get your hopes up: The revelation isn't due until the end of the month. The story has served the show well, but it's probably wise to provide the answer while people still remember the question.

Coming in many different shapes, colors, and sizes, sharks are some of the most incredible fish in the sea. They differ from bony fish in numerous ways: their skeleton is made of cartilage instead of bone, they five to seven pairs of gill slits instead of a bony fish's single pair, and they have rigid fins while bony fishes have flexible fins.
The more than 400 species of sharks are mysterious, yet misunderstood. Unfortunately, their populations are plummeting due to overfishing of sharks for food, including for their valuable fins. Sharks have very slow growth and reproductive rates, which means depleted populations are slow to recover. The loss of these top predators would throw the delicate ecosystem balance into disorder.
You can help protect sharks by eating only sustainable seafood, which is caught in ways that protect habitats and species. All of the seafood served here at SeaWorld — and even the fish fed to Shamu and friends — is purchased from sustainably-managed fisheries.
Want to discover more about sharks, and maybe even touch one? Check out our Behind-the-Scenes guided tours.
Q: Where do sharks live? SW: Sharks make their home in temperate to tropical seas. Some also live in polar seas or freshwater rivers and lakes.
Q: Are they endangered? SW: Though there are more than 400 species of sharks, unfortunately a growing number are listed as either threatened or endangered.
Q: What do they eat? SW: Sharks eat mostly fishes (including other sharks and rays), but also squids, octopuses, and crustaceans. Some larger sharks, such as great white sharks, eat marine mammals. Tiger sharks are one of the few animals that can eat sea turtles. Basking, megamouth, and whale sharks filter-feed on plankton.
Q: How big do they get?SW: Their size range is amazing. The smallest sharks top out at only 6 to 10 inches, while the largest shark (and the world's largest fish) is the mammoth 45 foot long whale shark.
Q: Do sharks have to keep swimming to survive? SW: Not all of them. Some species are able to rest on the ocean floor, opening and closing their mouths to pump water over their gills to respire.

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.
Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
You can sign-in using OpenID credentials, or register a traditional username and password.
First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
clear command doesn't actually clear the terminal because if you scroll you can still see output from the previous commands. Using this command you can clear your terminal screen as well as buffer.
The '1' in '%01d' changes the amounts of digits in the integer, eg. 1 vs 0001.
It'll print the file names preserving the spaces in their names and adding new line after every new filename.
I wrote this to quickly find out how many files in any directory is owned by a particular user. This can be extended using pipe and grep to do much more.
This command will take the files in a directory, rename them, and then number them from 1...N.
Black belt stuff.
Hell of a time saver.
up N
I did not like two things in the submitted commands and fixed it here:
1) If I do cd - afterwards, I want to go back to the directory I've been before
2) If I call up without argument, I expect to go up one level
It is sad, that I need eval (at least in bash), but I think it's safe here.
eval is required, because in bash brace expansion happens before variable substitution, see http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Repeat_a_string#Using_printf
http://www.joachim-breitner.de/projects#screen-message now also supports reading stdin continuously to update what it shows, different ?slides? separated by a form feed character. Here, we feed the current time into it each second to create a large clock.
Shows the ?rendering? for each of the 256 colours in both the bold and normal variant. Using seq is helpful to get even lines, passing $((COLUMNS*2)) to column sort-of-handles the nonprintable characters.
if you have a capture file *.eth, and ajp protocol is in use on port 9009, you can paste the above command. You can change the fiile and port name
Lists the size in human readable form and lists the top 25 biggest directories/files
Unlike other alternatives, this command only relies on bash builtins and should also work on windows platforms with the bash executable.
Sparseness corresponds to the number 128 and can be adjusted. To print all possible digits instead of only 0 and 1 replace RANDOM%2 by RANDOM%10 or RANDOM%16 to add letters [A-F].
Can't see it here, but the non-breaking space is highlighted :)
Of course,
cat -t -e
achieves something similar, but less colourful.
Could add more code points from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_%28punctuation%29#Spaces_in_Unicode
I don't think it's possible to give a (background) colour to the tab itself, since a tab is, IIUC, simply a command to the terminal to move to the right. Nevertheless, this "highlighting" can be helpful when working with tab-separated files.
Counts the files present in the different directories recursively. One only has to change maxdepth to have further insight in the directory hierarchy.
Found at unix.stackexchange.com:
Prints 0's and 1's in The Matrix style. You can easily modify to print 0-9 digits using $RANDOM %10 insted of %2.
This command will find the highest context switches on a server and give you the process listing.
Could easily be used for lowercase --> ((i=97;i
usage: alarmclock TIME
TIME is a sleep(1) parameter which tells function how long to wait until raise the alarm.
printf reapeats the format as longer as it has arguments. Then the idea is to make cut retain as much fields as we have elements in the array.
As usual with such join/split string manipulation, you have to make sure you don't have conflicts between your separator and your array content.
Sometimes you want to see all of the systcls for a given $thing. I happened to need to easily look at all of the vm sysctls between two boxes and compare them. This is what I came up with.
Group membership in OS X is a mish-mash of standards that end up meaning there's almost a half-dozen of ways to belong to a group, what with group inheritance and automatic assignment. This means there's no easy command to find out all groups a user belongs to. The only sensible way then is to list all users and then query each user for membership.
NOTE: This is a function. Once input you can execute it by calling with a groupname.
Use tput cols to find the width of the terminal and set it as the minimum field width.

Joey's adventure into the realm of video games began at 3 when Nintendo first hit the West. He grew up a Nintendo fan and ended up branching out to Playstation when FF7 hit and XBox when Oblivion hit the 360. He's not huge on first person shooters or sports games but definitely enjoys a good RPG or survival horror game. His all-time favorite series is definitely The Legend of Zelda, followed extremely closely by Metal Gear. Joey has a firm belief that games should be treated with respect when they are made and that the classics should never be overlooked.

The No Grave Unadorned project for Memorial Day 2012 in Carbon and Emery counties is moving along well. The flower count is jumping by leaps and bounds daily and starting this Saturday the many volunteers will begin putting the flowers on graves in preparation for Memorial Day. But the project still needs more "Flowerteers." We not only need more people to make flowers but people to put flowers on graves across the two county area.
The idea of the project is to be sure that no grave in either county goes undecorated for Memorial Day. Last year volunteers made enough flowers and donated enough time to place a flower on every grave that was not decorated in both counties. In the end over 40,000 flowers were made. Then volunteers spent the week before the Memorial Day weekend putting flowers on graves to complete the project.
While the flowers made by volunteers are made of plastic, wood, glue and paperclips, many of the smaller graveyards around Carbon County that do not have regular care still have some of the flowers that were placed last year. Considering the wind and the heavy winter in some places, it is amazing they are still there and are in one piece. It is a testament to the volunteerism of the community and their dedication.
This year the goal is to make another 40,000 flowers by the time all is said and done.
This project is also unique in the United States. It began with an idea here and while others have contacted us about the idea for their communities, as far as we know none have done anything similar.
The project also needs financial support. While each of the flowers does not cost much, added up the material list comes to quite a bill, so cash donations are requested from those who can contribute.
Many of the volunteers who make the flowers have said the project is one of the most fun things they have ever participated in. Placing them on graves is not only satisfying but interesting too. Last year many of the volunteers commented on how much they learned about our communities and how important the people who came before us in this place were to our daily lives here and now.
It is a formidable project, but many hands make the load much lighter.
Please volunteer or contribute by contacting Malyn Brady or Jenni Fasselin at 435 637-0732.

Click on the image to learn moreabout this weed!
Weed like you to know... looks can be deceiving!
These plants are actually WEEDS! Although they look pretty, they possess unique characteristics for out-competing other plants. These exotic invaders quickly establish thick stands that are threatening native habitats. Infesting over 70 million acres of western wildlands, exotic weeds are having a devastating ecological and economic impact! There is good news - 90% of federal lands are not significantly infested - yet. By becoming familiar with exotic weeds, we can prevent their establishment.

MENLO PARK, Calif. — Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg pulled out an unmistakable Steve Jobs show move today at company headquarters.
In somewhat Apple-like fashion, the 28-year-old executive held off the juiciest information for last – confirmation that HTC and AT&T would be launching an Android phone featuring Facebook's services front and center.
"There's one more big thing that we want to talk about," Zuckerberg told the audience here. He then detailed the specifics of the phone models that would be in line to get the download timed with the HTC First, coming in red, white, blue and black on April 12.
"One more thing" was, of course, a vintage suspense teaser that the late Apple CEO casually mentioned with showmanship flair at events, signaling the best part was yet to come, often near the end.
STORY: Facebook Home interface unveiled for Android
FIRST TAKE: Do you like Facebook enough to let it rule your phone?
ANALYSIS: Is Facebook Phone worth the wait?
While the young Facebook executive's speedy delivery clip, mannerisms and show flair offer a far different geek chic than the tech rock star status enjoyed by Jobs, there were other parallels.
"He sees himself as as visionary and a cult of personality," says analyst Greg Sterling. "He's really revered this way in the company that's kind of analogous. There's some aspiration to be Jobsian."
When the event first began, a chorus of screaming came from the rear, much like an Apple event and presumably voiced by company employees.
If all that weren't enough, Zuckerberg referenced how Facebook's Android move was like a bicycle for the mind, something Jobs famously said of Apple's computers. "It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds," Jobs said years ago.
For Facebook's move on Android phones, it remains to be seen whether people will enjoy the ride.
