And the tear drops trom tbe cloud \ O'er the ocean and the rivers Come the dripping vernal showers, Falling as (he sunbeam quivers On the blooming thirsty flowers. Andthe drops in beauty glisten On the hillock, o'er tbe plain, While the birds attentive listen To the music of tho rain 1 O'er the lawn, the field and woodland, Come the sparkling diamond drops, Dancing on the lake and island. Spangling o'er the tangled copse ! Wliile above the verdant sprouting Ol the young and tender grass, Forest kings with joy are shooting, Aa refreshing showers pass 1 Mr. Van Jlurcn and Mrs Eaton. The episode in which these once famous names became associated, is one of the most interesting in the administration of General Jackson ; concerning the rising fortunes of Mr. Van Bureu himself. The story which may he told in brief, shows upon what slight influences the fortunes of great men and the destinies of a great nation may tome- times hang. Mre. Eaton was the daughter of William O'Neal> who kept at Washington, many years, a large, old fashioned tavern which was a kind of headquarters for members of Congress during its sessions. She was a lively, handsome girl, free in her conversation, and a general favorite with her father's guests. There were gossips and busy bodies enough, who. for want of other victim?, seized on poor Peg O'Neal, aud tnnde sad work with her reputation. She married in the course of events, .Purser Timberlake, of the United States Navy, who came to a melancholy end two or three years later- while on duty in the Mediterranean. In Jauuary, 1S^[I—a year later, and scarcely two months before the first inauguration of General Jackson—Major John H. Eaton, then a member from Tennessee and an intimate and trusted friend of the President elect, became attached lo the still attractive Mrs Timberlake. Shadows were still resting on lb' good name of the youog widow, touching even her relatious with Major Eaton before Mr. Timber- lake's untimely death. It is said that Gen. Jackson,coming up to Washington, fresh from Tennessee, was consulted by h:s friend as to the wisdom of his marriage, "Why> yt's. Major," said the General, "if you love the woman, and she will have you, marry her, by all means." Major Eatou suggested that Mrs. Titn- berlake's reputation had not escaped reproach; and that his owu name had Buffered with hers. "Well, said the old hero, " your marrying her will disprove those charges atid restore Peg's good name.'' They were married. Time passed. Major Eaton was called to the Cabinet of president Jackson as head of the War Department. Imagine the horror of Washington society! The tavern-keeper's daughter, and proscribed widow of a reckless navy officer, pierced with the shafts of all sorts of scandal, the wife ol a Cabinet Minister, and enlit- led to admission to the drawing-rooms of those who never did any thing improper!—"Forbid it, Gen. Jackson !*' Rut the old hero wouldn't do anything of the kind. The recollection of aspersion once cast on his own wife, whose beloved spirit had just passed away, contributed to the flaming indignation with which be rejected the scandal against the wife ofhis friend. Believingher tobe unjustly aspersed, he espoused ber cause with the zeal of a kuight errant, and the impetuous energy ol—General Jackson. The result was a fierce and long-contested social war. The ladies of other Cabinet Miuislers ruled that Mrs. Eaton could not be admiled to their circle. The ladies ot foreign Ministers followed their example. MrsDontdson, the niece of the Presideut, and mistressof the White tyouse, though compelled to receive her, would not visit her. " Anything else, uncle," said she," but 1 cauuot call on Mrs- Eaton." " Very well," Baid the inflexible old Geueral; "theu go back to Tennessee, my dear." and she went. Poor Mrs. Eaton was all this time resting iu silence under this mercilesB despotism. Mr Van Burn was Secretary of State, and a widower. He called npon Mrs. Eaton, made parties for her, persuaded his friends to treat her with the pect due to her position, no less than to a lady who had baen greatly wronged. Hia conduct naturally touched the heart of the old General, which was set on tbe lady's vindication. It also wou for Mr. Van Buren tho affection of tbe President's confidential counsellors who were then and for eight years following, the President-makers of the republic. " Indeed," said one of the biographers 'Andrew Jackson, "the political history ofthe United States for tbe last thirty years, dates from the moment when the soft hand of Mr. Van Buren uched Mrs. Eaton's knocker." The rest ofthe story i3 booo told. The Cabinet was from the very commencement divided on the question of Mrs. E&tou's character. For Mrs. Eaton—the Presideut, Mr. Van Buren, Major Eatou, Mr. Barry. Against her—the Vice President, Mr. Berrien, Mr. Ingham. Mr. Branch. The Cabinet could uot hold together and was dissolved. Mr. Van Bureu first resigned, aud the President, grato- fully sent him to the Court of St. JameB. Major Eaton followed his example, aud was to b? well provided lor. These resignations rendered the reconstruction ofthe cabiuet a necessity, and the rest ofthe members, who had thwarted the Presdent'B darling purpose to restore au injured lady to her rights, were courteously relieved from duty. From that hour Mr. Van Bureu's fortunes were made. Mrs Eaton soon censed to be an issue in tbe social and political circles at the capital, where the lady long outlived the reign aud almost the memory of those who made snch havoc with her fame. is thc Constitution Suspended During Uu War! Is the Constitution suspended during the war? That is tbe question. If it is not. then there exists no power in the President to abrogate constitutional rights or expunge Slate law.--. Many who profess to be loyal men, and to have closely studied the Constitution, gravely assert that what tliey term military necessity in time of war is superior to all civil law. The conduct of General Jackson at New Orleans is cited as a precedent. The entire proceedings in connection with his declaration of martial law—his arrest, trial, and payment of the fine imposed—prove conclusively that in bis opinion his declaration of martial law was illegal aud could be justified by the necessity of the circumstances attending it- He aerer claimed to be actioif under the Constitution or iu accordance with law, out frankly acknowledged the proceeding to be in contravention of both. But eveu did tho Coustiiution admit the declaration of martial law in particular localities in times of fearful peril, will it be claimed that it cau be extended over a whole country? Cannot Congress be forbidden to meet aud legislate, and cauuot every department of Government, State and National, be set aeide by a simple proclamation from the Presideut, and continue suspended at; his will ? Under this direction the Presideut —not the Constitution or the several departments ol Governmeut organized under its authority—is supreme. This military necessity of which we hear so much, is either limited or it is restricted. If it be limited iu its power during the war, then the Presideut as Commander-iu- chief, is Emperor, His decrees are absolute. If it is restricted, where shall we look for the bound Of authority ? In the Coustitution ? Is there any authority in this Gov. ernment elsewhere? It is said the Constitution does uot provide for the mode in which war shall be conducted—that our armies appropriate private property to public use—that spies are hung, deserters shot, suspected traitors arrested and the freedom of the press muzzled, by military author- ty,justified by necessity, ali of which would be unlawful in lime of peace. Congress has the pow er, by the Constitution, " to declare war" aud " to make rules for the government aud regulation of lbe land and naval forces" Under the provisions of the Coustiiution, the entire disposal ol our armies is under Congress. It must provide for the iu" crease or decrease and payment of our armies, aud if it chooses to do so, can direct the plan and pur pose of a campaign, and the Presdentas Commander-in-chief of lhe army, is under ils direction. The power thus conferred, Congress has uot, so far as conducting a campaign is coucerued, seeu proper to exercise ; but it is unquestionable that the war aiaking power ia vested iu Congress, and lhe President is simply the executive of its will- If Congress should direct the withdrawal of the troops from a particular Slate or Territory, the President would uot be at liberty to disob.'y the command. That the details of a campaign are left to the Presideut aud his military subordinates is for the simple reasou that lliere must be concentration ol authority as well as of iroops to successfully conduct a war. Congress has power "to grant letters of matque and reprisal, aud make rules concerning captures on laud and water." lis authority is complete, in whole aud iu part, to conduct and close war, for the President cauuot conclude a treaty ot peace wilhout the concurrence ol two-thirds of the Senators preseut. Where, then, is the military necessity lhat can override the Constitution ? Where does tbe President get his authority to subvert the organic law by a simple proclamation ? War is to be conducted according to tbe rules of war, aud Congress is to provide by law the "rules tor the government aud regulation ol the laud and naval forces." Uuder this prevision, can it provide by law for the subversion ot lhe Constitution, because one State or a duzeu Slates are in rebellion? Under the plea of maintaining Lhe Government, can it provide hy luw lor the subversion of the Coustitution because one State or a dozen Stales overthrow it? In war and in peace ihe Constitution is supreme.— It is as much so in a civil war as iu a foreigu oue. Military arrests aud executions are iu accordance with army regulations; but when it is claimed that the possession of a commission and a pair ol shoulder straps couferB upon the owners the right to arrest, punish aud execute citizens who are not in the army, we may well inquire what despotism will next be advocated and justified. When it its claimed that the existence of war confers npon the President the power to strike from existence the Constitution and laws of eleven Slates of this Union, override the Constitution ot the General Government, and prescribe tbe Bocial condiliou of twelve millions of people, is it not time to ask if the nation is drunk or insane?— Chicago Tribune Tub Copi'Eitoro.Ua RAILROAD.— Fifty-flve thousand one bundred dollars has beeu subscribed iu Stockton to the capital stock of the Coppcropolis Railroad.

The Common Council of Rochester have issued $100,000 iu small ch'auge notes. "SbOBSSionists."—In these days of political pro- digacy and corruption, of mendacity and venality, of sycophancy and tyranny, all true Democrats and conservative men have to encounter the vilest per_ scnal abuse, and hence the Abolitionists and their menials have adopied the plan of calling every such man a "Secessionist." If nu individual prefers an ', honorable peace to war and bloodshed, he is called j a Secessionist. If he is opposed to placing the 1 negro on the equality with the white man, he is called a Secessionist. If he points to the robbery of millions from the public treasury, he is called a Secessionist. If ho expresses himself in favor of iho war being prosecuted to restore the Union as it was aod Biaiafata the Constitution as it is, he is called a Secessionist. If he favors the Constitutional right of free speech nnd Iree press, be is a Secessionist' If he questions the wisdom, honesty or capacity of President Lincoln or his Cabinet, he ia a Secessionist. If ho condemns the treasonable language of leading Abolition traitors in prominent positions, he ia called a Secessionist, If he intimates that arbitrary arrests are impolitic, unjustifiable, iniquitous aud unconstitutional, he is called a Secessionist. If he opposes Lincoln's Negro Emancipation Proclamation, he is called a Secessionist. If he rejoices over Democratic victories he is called a Secessionist. If he speaks disrespectfully of the Abolition- ized Republican party or exposes the dangerous and wicked and infamous doctrines of the Chicago Platform, lie is called a Secessionist. If he adheres to and advocates the principles which were proclaimed by Jefferson and Madison and sustained and enforced by Jackson, he is called a Secessionist.— In shoit, let him do or say what he may, no matter how loyal he is to the Government, unless he swear.-* fealty to the Aboliiionized Republican party, sing* old John Brown's soul is marching on, believes in Cameron's honesty, Fremont's Generalship.

It's turning into a free-for-all in the drug-making business, as some on Wall Street are beginning to ponder the possibility that Allergan Inc. will try to purchase Irish drug firm Shire plc in an effort to fend off Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc.'s hostile takeover bid.
Shire /quotes/zigman/66975/delayed /quotes/nls/shpg SHPG , which recently rejected AbbVie Inc.'s /quotes/zigman/13067932/delayed /quotes/nls/abbv ABBV $46 billion overture, could be in play for a number of other suitors, including Allergan /quotes/zigman/217110/delayed /quotes/nls/agn AGN or even Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. /quotes/zigman/220498/delayed /quotes/nls/bmy BMY
Allergan is resisting Valeant's /quotes/zigman/122461/delayed /quotes/nls/vrx VRX attempts to overtake it, and the two companies appear headed for a confrontation before shareholders as early as August. Both sides have been trading vitriol on a near-daily basis, with Allergan trying to paint Valeant as a "serial acquirer" with little organic growth, and Valeant defending against those attacks. Valeant is offering roughly $53 billion in cash and stock for Allergan.
Bloomberg noted in reports over the weekend that some analysts are speculating Allergan could make a move for Shire. An Allergan purchase of Shire is likely to put a takeover out of reach for Valeant.
Valeant was quick to point out, however, that analyst Louise Chen of Guggenheim Partners says Botox-maker Allergan will need to offer substantially more than $46 billion for Shire, whose forte is specialty drugs.
"We believe any offer for Shire will need to place significant value on its pipeline and sales growth," Chen said in a note to clients. "This may further dilute Allergan shareholders' returns in the short-to-medium term."
Chen said there also is public debate that Nestle SA /quotes/zigman/504501/realtime CH:NESN and Allergan could merge. But she says a deal with Valeant is the best way for Allergan to make money.
But Allergan countered with its own friendly analyst report, this one from David Maris of BMO Capital Markets. Maris says Valeant, in rebutting Allergan attacks on Monday, may actually have fed into investor concerns that it will go too far in cutting costs.
"Overall, we do not think that Allergan or a holder that believes in Allergan's pipeline or current business plan will be convinced by Valeant's rebuttal. In our opinion, some of the answers might actually feed some concerns already raised by Allergan," Maris said.
Allergan and Valeant both were marginally higher in recent trades.

First Modern-Day Walk-on Coleman Excelling in Life
Randy York's N-Sider
Go to the website for one of the nation's oldest historically black colleges, and you see the logo: Florida Memorial University . . . A Promise. A Future. Click on the President's Cabinet, and you see the university's president, then the provost and then, right there before your eyes, you see a face so familiar that you can't possibly be fooled by the dress coat, white shirt, business tie, scholarly glasses, warm smile or even the first name.
Yep, the second you see Dr. L. Trey Coleman, Director of Grants and Sponsored Research, you notice the most important identifier of all . . . the Fu Manchu, Hulk Hogan-like mustache he wore when he came back for a Nebraska football reunion in 1981. The mustache is the dead giveaway. It cuts through any other disguise and makes you fairly certain that you've found Nebraska's first out-of-state, walk-on football player from the early 1960s. Still, you can't help asking yourself this question: How in the world did someone who grew up around gangs in Washington, D.C., and essentially willed himself to the University of Nebraska despite multiple academic deficiencies, end up in the President's Cabinet of a 130-year-old university in Miami Gardens, Fla., with a Ph.D. in front of his name?
"I'm sure a lot of people who knew me from my early days would wonder the same darned thing," Coleman said over the phone with a laugh so animated that you feel like someone who just connected with his long, lost brother. Even though you're fairly positive you're talking to the right guy, you decide to ask the next question anyway: Are you, Dr. Trey Coleman, the same man who was also known as Langston Coleman.
A Long and Winding Road
Better yet, are you the player Bob Devaney once called the nastiest player he ever coached?
"Yes, indeed, Langston Coleman and Dr. Trey Coleman are, in fact, the exact same person," Coleman said with a laugh that was even louder so it bellows through 1,367 miles of phone lines. "In fact, that column you wrote about me being Coach Devaney's nastiest player is still hanging up in my office at home. I use it to remind me of the long, long journey I've taken over the past 45 to 50 years."
And, oh, what a journey it has been . . . a journey that started with Coleman's own, personal promise as a high school athlete who grew up on the streets of the nation's capital. His mom, Audrey, was a domestic worker for Nebraska native Ted Sorensen, a former special counsel and adviser to President John F. Kennedy and a widely published author on the presidency and foreign affairs.
Sorensen graduated from the University of Nebraska College of Law in 1951 at age 23 before deciding to move to Washington, D.C.
"Growing up, I used to go to the Sorensens and mow their yard while my mom would work around their household," Coleman recalled. "I still remember when I was about 16, and they invited me in one hot day for a cold glass of lemonade. They had all sorts of Nebraska memorabilia inside their house, and it all just fascinated me."
A year later, Devaney arrived in Lincoln from Wyoming as the Huskers' new head coach. "That's when I decided I wanted to go to college and play football at Nebraska," Coleman said.
There was only one problem. When it came to a personal resume', Langston Coleman had more knife fights than books read, facts that even Ted Sorensen couldn't change. But that didn't stop a special counsel to the President from encouraging a young African-American who, perhaps for the first time in his life, had a very real and a very special dream.
Coleman's high school transcripts weren't his only problem. The football film from Weston High School was so bad, you couldn't even read the numbers on the players' jerseys.
The obstacle course in front of Langston Coleman would have dissuaded all of his friends, but none of them had what he had – a signed letter from Sorensen on White House stationery, encouraging him to fix his academic problems in a junior college or elsewhere and go on "to prove your ability both on the gridiron and in the classroom."
Once you establish a better record, "you might be able to transfer to the University of Nebraska with an athletic scholarship," Sorensen wrote.
Nebraska Was His Only Land of Opportunity
Coleman cleared up his academic deficiencies in Central Ohio, and went back to D.C. to work that summer. He decided to save every dime he made, and to plan his trip to Nebraska, the only school he was interested in – and the only school that was interested in him.
Coleman had received a letter from Devaney, who indicated he could not offer him a scholarship, but he could offer him "a fair chance" to compete on the field. All he had to do is somehow make his way to Nebraska on his own.
"No other school even answered my letters," Coleman said, "so when Coach Devaney wrote and said if I came out there and proved myself, that was good enough for me. That's all the encouragement I needed."
Coleman was only 6-1 1/2 and 180 pounds, but his body was chiseled and his desire intense. Arriving in Lincoln about two months before football season, Coleman and a friend got to Lincoln by thumbing rides and working occasional jobs along the way to buy bus tickets. When they arrived at Lincoln's Greyhound Bus Station, they called Sorensen's brother, Phil, to see if he could help them find a job in Lincoln.
"I'll never forget the day I first saw Langston Coleman," former Nebraska quarterback Bob Churchich said. "I came down to Lincoln for rush week, and I noticed a guy across the street with his shirt off, breaking up some concrete. It was Langston Coleman. People were already talking about him being our first walk-on. I said at the time that if he's a walk-on and I'm a scholarship player, I'll never be able to handle it."
Former Nebraska All-Big Eight linebacker and now Wisconsin Athletic Director Barry Alvarez has some fond and even hilarious remembrances of playing with Coleman when he was a first-semester walk-on and one of his coaches was a young graduate assistant – Tom Osborne. Nebraska's future Hall of Fame head coach/athletic director enjoyed Coleman's fervor and recommended him becoming a hard hitting defensive end who helped the Huskers win 28 of 33 games in 1964, '65 and '66.
Five Decades Later, Osborne Still Has an Influence
"I'll never forget the influence Coach Osborne had on me then and still has on me now," Coleman said. "When he coached me, he wasn't being paid because he was in grad school. At the same time, I was paying my own way just for the opportunity to play, and ended up getting a scholarship the second semester. I remember thinking how neat it was that Coach was working so hard on his doctorate degree at the same time he was coaching football. I told him then that some day, when football was all over for me, I was going to get my doctorate degree, too."
Langston Coleman made good on that promise. When he was the last player cut by the Washington Redskins in his last try at the NFL, Trey (a high school nickname because he was always the "third wheel") applied to graduate school and a couple of law schools. He decided he would go with whatever opportunity unfolded first.
It was grad school at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where, in 1975, he received his doctorate of philosophy in urban education with an emphasis in higher education administration.
Coleman has used his education to work as a chief of staff for a Florida congressman and a chief of staff for a prominent D.C. politician who unsuccessfully ran for mayor. He has worked at American University, in Community Outreach and urban job training education. This is his 17th year at Florida Memorial University.
"Tom Osborne showed me in the early '60s what can happen if you apply yourself fully – athletically and academically," Coleman said. "He showed me what determination is all about. It's about the fire in your belly and not letting anything stand in the way of the commitments you make. I wanted to emulate that commitment, so I put together my own Trey Coleman Triple-A program to succeed athletically, academically and administratively."
Osborne achieved his own Triple Crown and now directs the Nebraska Athletic Department Administration.
Representing Both 'A Promise' and 'A Future'
Coleman may have taken a more circuitous route, but he, too, pulled off his own Triple-A feat.
No wonder he's been at Florida Memorial University for so long. Who can talk about "A Promise" and "A Future" better than Langston Coleman, the "nasty" player who became the dedicated student and now, the visionary leader?
"I feel like I had a lot to prove as Coach Devaney's first walk-on football player from out-of-state," Coleman said. "He gave me an opportunity, and no one worked harder to prove himself than I did. I'm glad I didn't come to Nebraska with a scholarship. I'm glad I played for Coach Devaney. He made an impression on me and a lot of other guys, and we all still reflect on it."
Coleman and Bill Johnson were the first two walk-ons of the Devaney era. "Billy was a defensive back – a great teammate and a small-town Nebraska guy (from Stanton)," Coleman recalled. "There was some discussion about who was really the first walk-on. I guess it depends on how you define a walk-on. Billy was already in school, and some of his high school teammates encouraged him to go out for spring practice, so a story ran that I was the first out-of-state walk-on, and he was, technically speaking, probably the first in-state walk-on."
Whatever, Johnson and Coleman helped launch Nebraska's reputation as a "land of opportunity" for hard-working players who had big dreams, but did not have scholarships.
"Coach Osborne taught me the benefit of walking on. He taught me about character and dedication, endurance and maturity, goal-setting and sacrifice," Coleman said. "He epitomized the importance of a competitive spirit and showed us all that it was about so much more than just football. He encouraged me to embrace my academic counselors and my professors, who were just outstanding. Just like Coach Osborne, they inspired me to push harder than I ever dreamed and to go way above and beyond what I thought was possible.
"I hope my story inspires others to walk on at Nebraska," Coleman said. "I know one thing. If they make the same decision I did, they will never, ever regret going to a place like Nebraska."
Osborne treasures his experiences with Coleman and when the former player came back last fall for his first Husker game in Lincoln since 1981, the two hugged when they met – the ultimate appreciative sign for the roads they've traveled and the ones they continue to take on.
"Coach Osborne motivated me by example," Coleman said. "He taught me the meaning and the joy of working hard every day."
Forget the doctorate degrees. For both men, working is not only a passion, but also a privilege.
"I don't know who enjoys working more – him or me," Coleman said. "I think we both have a lot left in us to give to others."
Athletically, academically and administratively.

(Reuters) - The Los Angeles Dodgers appear poised to cash in on their big-budget blockbuster of a roster and end a 26-year wait for another World Series in the 2014 Major League Baseball season.
A dream starting rotation topped by double Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw, former Cy Young winner Zack Greinke and Korean import Ryu Hyun-jin, and a strong offense could turn Hollywood's team into a juggernaut if all the pieces fall into place.
The Dodgers do not figure to be threatened in the National League West, and the reigning NL champion St. Louis Cardinals, whose payroll is more than $100 million less than the Dodgers' projected total of $232 million, have lost some offensive punch.
Meanwhile, the Washington Nationals added right-hander Doug Fister to a formidable pitching staff supported by some big bats, including young slugger Bryce Harper, to rate as top pick in the NL East, followed by the 2013 division champion Atlanta Braves.
The array of Los Angeles stars will be on display in Australia, for a Down Under opening of the MLB season against the Arizona Diamondbacks at the Sydney Cricket Ground where the NL West rivals stage a two-game series starting on March 22.
Emboldened by a TV deal expected to bring billions of dollars into the Dodgers' coffers, the team has spared no expense in procuring players and the spending blitz may reap dividends with their first Fall Classic title since 1988.
Fueled by a payroll that puts the Yankees to shame, the Dodgers could well advance beyond their NL Championship Series showing in 2013 as outfielder Matt Kemp and shortstop Hanley Ramirez rebound from injury-shortened seasons.
Kemp, who had only 263 at-bats, and Ramirez (304 at-bats) should fully join an attack including slugger Adrian Gonzalez and Cuban dynamo Yasiel Puig, whose mid-season arrival sparked an L.A. hot stretch that carried them to the West crown.
Los Angeles tripped at the last hurdle on the way to the 2013 World Series, falling to the Cardinals, who this season return their extraordinary crop of young arms including Michael Wacha, Shelby Miller and Joe Kelly, who follow ace Adam Wainwright in the rotation.
But the Cards have lost some of the zing in their offense with the free agent departures of Carlos Beltran and David Freese. They countered by adding shortstop Jhonny Peralta and hope that young first baseman Matt Adams can fill the breach.
The Cards, however, could hear footsteps in an NL Central that last year saw both the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds take St. Louis down to the wire and reach the playoffs as wild card teams.
But similar to the Redbirds, the Pirates and Reds may also have lost a bit of their luster in the offseason.
Pittsburgh bade farewell to veteran hitters Marlon Byrd and Justin Morneau, leaving NL MVP Andrew McCutcheon and Pedro Alvarez to power the offense.
Leading starting pitcher A.J. Burnett also departed, putting pressure on young hurler Gerrit Cole (10-7, 3.22) to step up.
Cincinnati lost Korean Choo Shin-soo at the top of their batting order, but plan to plug in young speedster Billy Hamilton as the new tablesetter in a lineup that includes run producers such as Joey Votto and Jay Bruce.
The loss of starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo, who signed with Arizona, could hurt the Reds' rotation.
Should the Los Angeles high-rollers stumble, Arizona and San Francisco could be lurking.
The Diamondbacks can strike with a slugging offense made even more fearsome with the addition of Mark Trumbo (34 home runs) to a lineup spearheaded by Paul Goldshmidt (36 home runs).
San Francisco, winners of two World Series in the past four years, took a step back last season after a pitching slump but are ever dangerous with a pitching staff led by Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner, though the offense is lightweight.
The NL East looms as a battle between the Braves and the Washington Nationals, though injuries have disrupted Atlanta's starting rotation and the free agent loss of catcher Brian McCann may prove crippling to the attack.
Kris Medlen (15-12, 3.11 ERA) has been lost to elbow surgery, and an aching elbow could also deny them Brandon Beachy. Free agent starter Ervin Santana was a late addition.
Washington could take charge with a strong rotation of their own led by Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann and Gio Gonzalez, with Harper, Jayson Worth and Ryan Zimmerman providing run support.
All signs point to another year of frustration for devoted fans of the Chicago Cubs, who are coming of a 66-96 season without much to speak of in improvement. Their last trip to the World Series was in 1945 and last title was 106 years ago.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsEvents
NMRA - Final Answer
NMRA racers make their last push to a championship at Beech Bend Raceway
Every year the NMRA World Finals sneaks up on us. It seems like the Bradenton opener is barely over, and we're driving down the winding Beech Bend Raceway entrance road to start the King of the Street competition, which we do as part of the finals each year. In reality almost eight months passes in between Bradenton and the World Finals. Yeah, time does surely fly when you're having fun.
What wasn't fun was the realization that some NMRA classes were having their last races in Kentucky. Pro Outlaw and Hot Street are being folded into the NMCA series, while Super Street Outlaw and Drag Radial will fuse into an all-encompassing, unlimited-style class. Next season will feature four heads-up classes, and four index-style classes. We're sure there will be plenty of storylines from new and returning racers, and those moving up to faster classes.
Certainly the future is exciting, but for now let's celebrate the historic close to the '12 season.
Horse Sense: The NMRA's Hot Street is headed to the NMCA side of the track. The NMCA's version, Pro Stock already enjoyed many NMRA regulars, but now that's the only spot for those guys with a heads-up format.
Photo GalleryView Photo Gallery
Pro Outlaw
Mike Murillo had another successful season in 2012, but he didn't really hit his stride until he figured out a new transmission combination later in the year. Going from a 'Glide to a three-speed, Mike received a ton o help from ATF Speed and ATI Performance Products to get his down the track on a more consistent basis. Mike had become proficient at swapping transmissions as the year went along. At Beech Bend it all paid off with a win over Tim Essick. Mike not only won the NMRA Pro Outlaw championship, he also won the NMCA's Super Street 10.5 W class championship, and the Street Car Super Nationals, as well. Mike faces a big decision for 2013. He'd like to move up to Pro Mod Racing, but his current Mustang is a bit off pace from the big boys. Wherever Mike lands, we know he'll be successful.
Super Street Outlaw
Super Street Outlaw When John Urist wrecked his SSO coupe at the Milan race it looked like the car was history. He was able to put his former car back into service for the Joliet Super Bowl race to keep the points lead in hand, but at Bowling Green the coupe was back in the mix after a big thrash to get the car straightened out. The car picked up where it left off with another victory, sealing yet another Super Street Outlaw championship for John with a win over Filthy Phil Hines at Beech Bend Raceway. With the blending of Super Street Outlaw and Drag Radial into a Street Outlaw class for both 28x10.5 and 275 drag radial cars, the freak show goes on, but in a different manner and under a different banner.
Renegade Speaking of domination, Renegade racer Brian Mitchell added another championship to his racing resume in 2012. Brian put together consistent performances, and seemed untouchable at every event. It was more a fight to see who would get runner-up at each event Brian was so far out in front of the class. However, the gap is closing thanks to performances from past-champion Alton Clements, Adam Arndt, Scott Grove, Chad Allmandinger, Bob Cook, and the rest of the Renegade class, which has remained strong through the years thanks to consistent rules. At Beech Bend, Brian was able to complete his championship with a win over Renegade newcomer Scott Grove in the final with an 8.28 over Scott's 8.39.
Hot Street
Hot Street Rick Riccardi is one of the Hot Street racers unable to make every race. And he's also one of those guys with limited resources. However, when he does make a race, he does his best to make an impact. Rick had the car blasting down the track, even running an 8.38 at 159 mph in Round 1. Right then we knew he was going to factor in the outcome, and factor he did. Rick narrowly escaped the semi-final round against Charlie Booze Jr. for a right to face Tim Eichorn in the final. On paper, it was going to be a race to the finish between Tim and Rick. Unfortunately, Tim's guess at the tree turned on the red light, handing the event win to Rick, turning him into a NMRA trivia question answer. Who is the last NMRA Hot Street event winner? Well, Rick Riccardi, of course.
Drag Radial
Like Mike Murillo, Drag Radial racer Jason Lee also doubled up his points championships in 2012. Jason won both the NMRA and NMCA classes in dominating fashion. With a ProCharger on board, Jason consistently ran in the 7.40s all year on his way to both championships. At Beech Bend, he only had to get past the '82 Fairmont of Kurt Borton since he and Kurt were the only participants. Jason was indeed able to win the last NMRA Drag Radial.
Coyote Stock
When he initially got his Coyote Stock car to the track, Shane Stymiest's Fox coupe had a C4 in the tunnel. However, so far that transmission choice is lacking a few tenths at the track so he swapped over to a stick just prior to the finals. Pre-race testing showed great promise, but it also showed potential durability issues. At Beech Bend, Shane was able to keep mechanical issues at bay and get past Jacob Lamb in Round 1 and then Justin Burcham in the final. We hope Coyote Stock grows for 2013—from what we're hearing, it will.
Factory Stock
Though the Factory Stock class turned into the Carlos Sobrino/Matt Amrine show, Louis Sylvester showed at Beech Bend that we shouldn't forget about him. Louis qualified in the top spot, and then took out the class' heavy hitters John Leslie Jr., Carlos Sobrino, and then Matt Amrine in the final in one of the closest races with a 10.97 to a losing 10.99. Amazingly, both racers had identical reaction times.
Modular Muscle
Racing out of the JPC Racing camp, Joe Marini's turbocharged S197 went rounds at Beech Bend thanks to a lot of luck combined with racing skill. In Modular Muscle, there are some great racers, but Joe was able to put together stellar reaction times with elapsed times right on his 10.43 index.
Open Comp
Open Comp Greg Cole brings a 9-second, big-block Fox into Open Comp to do battle with mostly small-block-powered competition. Of course, engine size matters little in Open Comp, it's all about driver skill in the index-style class. At Beech Bend, Greg was the one able to put skill to the pavement and take the win.
Truck & Lightning
In racing, it's sometimes better to be lucky than good. Jim Roberts was a little of both at Beech Bend. Johnny Lightning put together wins, and he was well on his way to doing the same until Jim snatched the event win in the final. It appears Johnny ran into problems, while Jim created his own luck.
Super 'Stang
We had equated JD Coon's Shelby GT500 to a Bigfoot sighting it had been so long since we had seen it. The car had been in mechanical jail for a bit, but he had it back in racing form in time for the Beech Bend finals. And what a way to close out 2012 with a win. JD outlasted a tough Super 'Stang class to get the win over Silent Lloyd Mikeska's '06 GT in the final. JD's Shelby runs deep into the 9s now, and at Beech Bend he showed the car will run that number on a consistent basis.
Terminator/GT500 Shootout
Terminator/GT500 Shootout We love a good ol' fashioned shootout any day of the week. We've started looking forward to the Terminator/GT500 shootout ever since the NMRA started it. This year Jacob Conant and his '03 Cobra showed the Terminators are still the SVTs to beat in this match-up. Jacob ran consistent 8.90s on his way to the win.

Out of a pilot program called the Wild Urbanism design studio at the University of Oregon's Department of Architecture comes Integrating Habitats, an open design competition focused on the interface between nature and the built environment. In collaboration with the Nature in Neighborhoods initiative of Portland, Oregon, the competition calls for innovative, multi-disciplinary efforts that fuse design excellence, ecological stewardship and economic enterprise to create healthy urban ecosystems.
Mike Shannon for 2007 Muller/Cerra Wild Urbanism Studio, University of Oregon
The challenge for participants is to uphold a holistic design approach for three conceptualized sites common to the Portland metropolitan region with consideration of open space, site planning, environmental preservation and restoration.
The sites include a neighborhood infill development with a remnant oak woodland/savannah habitat interface, a mixed use development with a riparian forest habitat interface and a commercial development with a lowland hardwood forest habitat interface. The competition gives particular attention to the initiatives of Nature in Neighborhoods which work to protect clean water and healthy natural areas for fish, wildlife and people.
The winning designs will "redefine the current language and standards of environmental sustainability by fostering balance between conservation and development, maximizing biodiversity and safeguarding water quality for this generation and those to come."
It is a challenge that requires a multi-disciplinary outlook to "blend, balance and integrate" the needs of people with those of the natural world. Visionaries from all relevant disciplines including landscape architecture, architecture, planning, urban design, stormwater management, engineering, water quality, ecology, wildlife biology and development are invited to participate.
Winning designs will be selected by a world-renowned jury and a People's Choice Awards will be enabled via a web-based gallery voting system. The culmination of the competition will be The Design Guide, a resource of development solutions that showcase possibilities for balance between community and nature.

He did not play a contact sport;
He did not bow his head and pray,
As schoolmates did, to start the day;
He did not, though they found him odd
Recite the pledge with "under god";
Or do his homework, if he thought
It asked him stuff it hadn't ought
(As when his teachers vainly took
Their lessons from their Holy Book—
Let's all forget that they were wrong;
Why couldn't Bradley get along?)
His Army tags said "Humanist",
And so I think you get the gist:
He's godless, headstrong, smart and gay…
All reasons he's locked up today.
I am not going to pretend to know enough about the case to take a strong stand on the big picture. Bradley Manning has been called a hero and a traitor, a man who should be set free, a man who should be hanged "from the same platform as Saddam was". His actions have been laudable, or deplorable, depending on whom you ask.
But his recent actions are not the focus of today's New York Times article. In the latest addition to a long tradition of armchair psychoanalysis (and yes, I am well aware that professional psychoanalysis is hell and gone from a worthwhile picture of someone's motives), the NYT's Ginger Thompson focuses on the details of his private life, implying that in hindsight we can see what a different sort of man Manning was...
At school, Bradley Manning was clearly different from most of his peers. He preferred hacking computer games rather than playing them, former neighbors said. And they said he seemed opinionated beyond his years about politics, religion, and even about keeping religion out of politics.No one in my family recites the "under god" bit. The courts have said it's just hunky-dory by them. Why is this an issue? And school assignments that involved the scriptures? I suspect that the courts would side with Manning on this one as well. The article could have focused on the oppressive environment Manning found himself in, but (there's a reason they call it the Fundamental Attribution Error) instead they choose to point the finger at the odd (I almost wrote "queer") kid who stands up for his First Amendment rights.
In his Bible Belt hometown that he once mockingly wrote in an e-mail had "more pews than people," Private Manning refused to recite the parts of the Pledge of Allegiance that referred to God or do homework assignments that involved the Scriptures. And if a teacher challenged his views, former classmates said, he was quick to push back.
Friends said Private Manning found the atmosphere here to be everything the Army was not: openly accepting of his geeky side, his liberal political opinions, his relationship with Mr. Watkins and his ambition to do something that would get attention.Ah... a Humanist? That bastard! (Perhaps the author should have looked into how unusual "custom dog tags" actually are.)
Although hacking has come to mean a lot of different things, at its core, those who do it say, is the philosophy that information should be free and accessible to all. And Private Manning had access to some of the most secret information on the planet.
Meanwhile, his military career was anything but stellar. He had been reprimanded twice, including once for assaulting an officer. He wrote in e-mails that he felt "regularly ignored" by his superiors "except when I had something essential, then it was back to 'Bring me coffee, then sweep the floor.' "
And it seems the more isolated he felt in the military — he wore custom dog tags that said "Humanist," and friends said he kept a toy fairy wand on his desk in Iraq — the more he clung to his hacker friends.
Oddly enough, I am tempted to look into Ginger Thompson's formative years, to see what sort of personal inadequacies must have inevitably led to writing an article like this.

A slideshow of the "30 Best Web 2.0 Tools" that contains many popular tools. Most are free (although a few have costs involved) and chances are there may be one or two that are new to you. "Each slide...contains the name, description, link and screenshot of what each tool looks like and does."
Have fun exploring and bringing a new tool into your classroom.
