Associated Press Release
OCALA, Fla. (AP) -- Deputies say an Ocala man got so upset over his dog wandering away that he stomped on a car windshield, causing a 12-year-old girl to suffer cuts from the broken glass.
The incident happened Saturday when Marcus Jeremy Waters came home and found his dog missing after the front door had been left open.
The Ocala Star-Banner (http://bit.ly/1aL7pdR ) reports Waters yelled at his girlfriend as she tried to leave with her daughters. When the 12-year-old told him he shouldn't talk to her mother like that, deputies say Waters jumped onto the hood and began stomping the windshield.
He ran into the woods and deputies pursued him with a K-9.
He was charged with child abuse and remains in the Marion County Jail. It's not known whether the dog was found.

In a brief review regarding the nature of supernovae, Italian astronomer Nino Panagia highlights the major issues associated with the current understanding of supernovae. Panagia points out that while supernovae of Type Ia are used as perfect "standard candles" (that is, distance markers), they are not so perfect. Type Ia supernovae provide the evidence for the accelerated expansion of our universe and if their results are questioned, so must the conclusions about our universe. Read about the questions that remain regarding supernovae explosions and their nature, online here.

Modeling Supernovae Explosions
You hear a lot about supernovae explosions, but did you ever think what it's like to be there when a Type II (core-collapse) supernova explodes? In a paper released today, Canadian astronomers provide the latest computer simulations of Type II supernovae. You can see their animations, which have been enhanced with the effects of the additional heating caused by neutrinos, online at http://www.cita.utoronto.ca/~fernandez/alpha_movies.html And if you wish to read about how these simulations were done, you can read their paper online at http://xxx.lanl.gov/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0812/0812.4574v1.pdf
An Open Question Dark Energy Remains
If you think cosmologists are settled about the best model of the universe, you are mistaken. Just today, there appeared a paper online at http://xxx.lanl.gov/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/081/0812.3912v1.pdf which seeks to provide an alternative to the standard dark energy model while still explaining the supernovae Type Ia results which lead us to believe in the accelerating expansion of the universe. In another paper available online at http://xxx.lanl.gov/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0809/0809.3761v2.pdf and accepted for publication in Physical Review Letters, Canadian astronomers provide yet another alternative view of cosmology, without the need for the standard view of dark energy. And yet another paper on dark energy modeling was released today, and is available online at http://xxx.lanl.gov/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/081/0812.3901v1.pdf within which the interactions of dark energy and cold dark matter are examined.
Where Did Dust Come From?
Cosmic dust is an important field of study as it is the dust in nebulae which helps form things such as stars and planets. So where did all the dust out there come from? One NASA scientist joined a group of Japanese astronomers in modeling the formation and evolution of dust in primordial supernovae. They use observations of supernova remnants from the oldest known supernovae (called Population III supernovae) to test the results of their models. Learn more about the origins of cosmic dust online at http://xxx.lanl.gov/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0812/0812.1448v1.pdf And if you are curious about cosmic dust in general, you may want to take a look at a popular level presentation done by a colleague (Joe Weingartner) at http://physics.gmu.edu/~joe/NOVAC.pdf
The Continuing Story of Supernovae Type Ia and Dark Energy
The accelerating expansion of the universe and the existence of dark energy was necessary to explain the first results of a survey of Type Ia supernovae. In a continuing report about high redshift (most distant) supernovae, scientists of the ESSENCE team provide the latest information from their data after four years of operation. If you were curious about the acronym, ESSENCE stands for "Equation of State: SupErNovae trace Cosmic Expansion." To learn more about this effort to better understand dark energy and the accelerating expansion of the universe, see the team's latest paper at http://xxx.lanl.gov/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0811/0811.4424v1.pdf

Bobby Brown Arrested For DUI, Released On Bond
By Jessica Rawden 4 years ago
In the months leading up to Whitney Houstons untimely death, the singers former husband, Bobby Brown, was mostly taking care of himself, keeping out of the tabloids and avoiding the rampant drug problems he had been known for in the past. Unfortunately, in the time since Houstons death, Brown has gone off the rails somewhat, and today more bad news for the singer came when he was arrested on DUI charges.
The New Edition singer was pulled over in March, also for driving while under the influence. Then, in August, he seemed to want to get his act together and decided to check into rehab to accomplish his new attitude. Obviously, the rehab stint hasnt been enough for him to be able to kick some bad habits. Around 1 a.m. on Wednesday, the man was pulled over by law enforcement officers for driving poorly. According to TMZ, when the police spoke with Brown, they smelled alcohol and forced him through a field sobriety test. In this case, they really should just call it a 'failed sobriety test.'
Obviously, the man didn't pass, and was later taken to jail, where he was booked until he was released on bond later on Wednesday. Brown certainly has a few stains on his past, but the man has shown a capacity to work for change before, and Im sure his daughter with Houston, Bobbi Kristina Brown, is in definite need of a mother in the year following the pop stars death. Heres to hoping he can get his act in gear and begin to behave like a father and, at the very least, a person who cares for his own well-being.

|Age at Death
|Main Affiliations
The Lost Brotherhood
Anna Faustin
|Voiced by
|Bill Burr
Jason Michaels was a recently patched in member of The Lost and a fellow biker of Johnny Klebitz. He was an enforcer in Lost MC and a pimp who did a lot of work in prostitution. He also dated Anna Faustin, daughter of Russian Mob boss Mikhail Faustin.
Jason was killed by Niko Bellic on orders from Mikhail, who didn't want his daughter hanging out with Jason. Club President Billy Grey announced the death of Jason at the hands of an Eastern European after members of the Lost were being ambushed by the Angels of Death. Billy held Jason in great honor, saying he was a good man, brave, and "punched the throttle" harder than many bikers much more experienced than him.
Later, Grey claimed Jason's death was caused by the group's rivals, and revenge had to be exacted which prompted Johnny to respond by saying "I thought it was a Pole or Serb." The "revenge", was the burning down the clubhouse of the Angels of Death and robbing them of their heroin.
Mission appearances
- No Love Lost (Killed)
- The Lost and Damned
Jason's Bike
There seems to be an inconsistency to what type of bike Jason rode in his appearances. In The Lost and Damned he is seen either riding a Hellfury or its similar Lost MC counterpart, the Diabolus. However, in his one and only appearance in GTA IV, he is seen riding a Zombie. Either Jason switched bikes, or one of the two bikes he rode would simply be retconned due to the Diabolus being unavailable in GTA IV.

Bob Johnson's boys entered post-season play with a humble approach, one game at a time. However, that doesn't mean the Eau Claire North club doesn't have visions of a state title dancing through their heads.
Friday afternoon North hosted River Falls in a WIAA Division 1 Regional Final. The Huskies gave the ball to ace Phil Isakkson and once again he delivered pitching a shutout. Offensively, Davey Fischer recorded a two-run triple in the second inning as North downed River Falls 5-0 to advance to a sectional semi-final.
Eau Claire Memorial didn't fare as well Friday afternoon. The Abes got behind the eight ball in the second inning when Hudson's Brian Sparstad singled in a run. Trailing by five in the sixth, Memorial's Will Fadness sparked the Abes offense with a two-run single but it wasn't enough as Hudson nipped Memorial 5-4. The Raiders will square off with Eau Claire North Tuesday morning at ten o'clock at Eau Claire's Carson Park.

A unique casting call is underway and producers are looking for women who are expecting.
Riverside Methodist Hospital will be the set of televisions' newest reality series, called "One Born Every Minute," 10TV's Tracy Townsend reported.
Producers are looking for expectant moms planning to give birth at Riverside this fall, and willing to star in a reality series.
The show chronicles the life-changing moment of birth and is a smash hit in its second season in the United Kingdom.
The first season of the U.S. version will be filmed by mounted cameras in four labor and delivery rooms at Riverside, Townsend reported.
"We were ecstatic, I can't wait to see the excellence that goes on with our staff, in our unit, highlighted," said Riverside Nurse Manager Mary Englehart.
Englehart and her staff will be highlighted during their shifts, which run around the clock, seven days a week, but the real stars of the show will be the parents and their new babies.
Riverside was chosen from at least 10 hospitals in America, in part because more than 6,000 babies are born there annually, Townsend reported.
Amber Hulme will soon add two more to those statistics; she is scheduled to give birth to twins
in November and may be included in the series.
"I went through a lot of infertility (issues) to get pregnant so to tell my story will be fun," Hulme said.
Doctors said stories like Hulmes' are what will make their work, and the show, worth watching.
The series will air on Lifetime Network.

Simple Sundays | Mango Spinach Green Smoothie
The candy bowl must go. It's been two days since Halloween night, and the house is overflowing with sweets. My plan to buy candy last minute backfired – I ended up going to the store and overstocking on bags of chocolate, somehow fearing that an army of 1,000 trick or treaters would make their way to our front door. Between my excess supply of Kit Kats and Reeses (Twix were sold out, sob!) and my children's notable collection, I am ready for it all to go.
Are you ready to get back to healthy eating? At least until Thanksgiving?
Now now, if you're not a fan of green smoothies, I don't want you to wrinkle up your nose and leave. Please hear me out.
I am a late adopter of the green smoothies that populate the far reaches of the internet. While I indulge in daily fruit and avocado smoothies, it has taken me a long time to incorporate dark leafy greens into the mix. But recently, I have been craving them after my workouts. Mango Spinach Green Smoothies have been my go-to after the gym, and the truth is, you barely taste the spinach.
The sweetness of the mango and banana gives you a tropical smoothie that makes you feel like you're indulging in an island shake (but you secretly feel like Popeye nourishing his muscles).
As we head into a season of holiday indulgence, maybe this might help us stay on track. After all, some of us have skinny jeans we still want to wear this winter!
Mango Spinach Green Smoothie
Yield: 1 smoothie
Total Time: 3 minutes
Remember Popeye pouring a can of spinach into his mouth before he flexed his muscles? Well, I daresay, he would love this smoothie, and so will you. The thing is, you really don't taste the spinach! Sweet mango takes over for this frosty tropical green smoothie that is so good for you.
3/4 cup vanilla almond or soy milk
1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
Place the the almond/soy milk, spinach, banana and mango in a blender in this order. Blend until smooth. Enjoy immediately.

I am a fan and I almost always add mango to my spinach smoothie. Makes it so much creamier.
I figured you would be a fan, Angela ;) Yes, between the mango and the banana, it's super creamy!
Gosh, I could have written this post myself! Down to the last minute candy run & buying WAY too much lol.
I'm craving clean green smoothies lately, I love having frozen mango around, trying this next time!
What a beautiful green smoothie. A great way to start November! We didn't end up buying any Halloween candy this year (we had plans to be away from our house) and I think it was a blessing! No temptation for us! Thank you for sharing this beautiful smoothie. Looks too good!
Your smoothie looks wonderfully creamy, the perfect way to start the day. You know I'm a huge fan of the mango!
This sounds amazing, I have everything on hand except for the mango. I see a quick store trip out in my future.
Mango and spinach are always a match made in heaven when it comes to smoothies and yours looks refreshing and delicious. I love how simple and yummy this looks!
Mmmm – love me a big green smoothie! I usually stick to bananas and apples for the fruit but love how you added pineapple to this one…

Thanks for the recipe. Followed it exactly, and I wish I had doubled it. So luscious and heavenly! : – )
You're so very welcome, Ana! I'm so glad you enjoyed it – it's still the smoothie I crave after my work out each day! Thank you for coming back to let me know :)
I made this smoothie this morning taste great but I will use only half banana next time I taste more banana than mango I also added flaxseed and protein powder.
Hi! I'm totally new to smoothie-making. I have regular dairy milk in the freezer; I can substitute that for the almond or soy milk, yes?
Hi Stephanie – yes, regular milk works! You mention it's in the freezer – I would recommend thawing it out first, though.
I just made my first ever green smoothie, based on this recipe but with added cinnamon and chia…. YUM!!! I think it will become a new staple in my diet!
I dont like the taste of almond milk or soy milk, is there another substitution i can use, or if i decide to take that part out, would it still taste goood?
If regular skim milk works for you, then you might want to try that, but if you want to avoid milk altogether, then you could try apple juice or coconut water. The result will be less creamy but it will still be tasty. If you are looking for a creamy texture, perhaps a light yogurt might work for you. I hope that helps!
Can I take out the banana ?

Mountains & Hills
Hi all,
Here is something I have wanted to post for a long time... a set of mountains and hills! The set comes with each element on its own layer in the Photoshop PSD. With the png version you will have to cut each one out to use it and I thought having the PSD would just be easier for those with Photoshop compatible software.
Here is what they look like:
Here is a transparent .png:
Here are some .psd files for each type (so you don't have to cut them all out)

Always think creatively and boldly. Where do you see a massive opportunity? Where do you think something is going to change, where you see something that most other people don't see? Part of being a successful entrepreneur is to be contrarian and to be right. It's the two that are particularly important because if it was obvious to everyone there's no market opportunity, there's no gap to go do something about it.

Hi, my wife and I are trying to get back into biking. We will be mostly on paved rail trails, so I was thinking a Hybrid. I was going to buy new, but saw a 2010 Cannondale Quick 4 with 200 miles on it for $400. Also the size is XL, I am 5'11, would that be to big? When I was at the bike shop, the person said I would take a trek 7.2 in 20", or maybe 22"..
Any advise would be really appreciated. thanks

The National Archives holds possibly the greatest collection of untapped source material for heralds and heraldry in this country. This lecture examines evidence stretching back over eight and a half centuries: seals, illuminated manuscripts, medieval rolls, treaties, grants of arms, state occasions, architectural drawings, military badges and even wooden chests. The result is an astonishing and colourful display of what is often unknown heraldic material.

Please can someone explain how the College 'the official repository of the coats of arms and pedigrees of English, Welsh, Northern Irish and Commonwealth families and their descendants' proves pedigrees when there is no primary evidence in the public domain to support them? An example is Cave where ancestry is apparently proven before Thomas Cave of Stanford on Avon d.1495. Is it that there is primary evidence but only existing in the College records? If so will any of these ancient records ever come in to the public domain? So much internet ancestry (family trees etc) is patent nonsense with no evidence to support much beyond the 19th century. I personally don't see much satisfaction in having a family tree back to William the Conqueror or Alfred the Great if there is no primary evidence to back it up.

Tim Tebow's test of faith
After the New York Jets released Tim Tebow in April, the outspoken Christian quarterback immediately tweeted Proverbs 3:5-6, a passage that talks about trusting God even when you do not understand His plan. On Friday, just three days after signing with the New England Patriots, Tebow was on stage for the 2013 Gridiron Men's Conference in Alabama, talking to a crowd of 7,000 young men.
Appropriately, this year's conference theme was standing strong in faith.
"God is leading you. He just might not be showing you," Tebow told those in the audience.
He shared how his faith affected his life—from his experiences on mission trips to his decision to attend the University of Florida. Tebow said that every man is a role model to someone and that this responsibility must be taken seriously. He then asked the young men, "What type of leader, what kind of role model are you?"
Patriots owner Robert Kraft told reporters last Wednesday that Tebow's faith was a factor in the organization's decision to sign the 25-year-old, much maligned quarterback.
"You can't have enough good people around you, and [Tebow] has the added dimension of spirituality being so important to him," Kraft said. "And that personally appeals to me a lot."
Tebow is competing with Ryan Mallett for the backup position behind All-Pro quarterback Tom Brady. The two-year contract Tebow signed is non-guaranteed, meaning he will have to play well enough during the preseason to make the Patriots' 53-man roster, making his future in the NFL still uncertain.
"All your talents and opportunities come from God and they can be taken away at any time," Tebow reminded the audience in Alabama. "If my identity is found in what I do, that can be taken away. My identity comes from my relationship with Jesus Christ. That's something that will never change."

Possessive pronouns show ownership.
How good is your vocabulary? Let's take a peek into the dictionary.
Possess: to have, to own
That was short.
Knowing what possess means will help you remember what these kinds of pronouns do. They show possession.
Sometimes they are used alone, and sometimes they are used before nouns. Let's check out each kind.
|Used Alone
his, hers,
|Used Before Nouns
his, her, its,
Here are the possessive pronouns that can be used alone.
mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs, whose
When they are used alone, these pronouns can do any of the noun jobs (subject, direct object, object of the preposition...).
Yours are the best cookies!
It may sound a little bit strange, but that sentence works.
Yours is the subject of the sentence.
Have you started diagramming sentences yet?
If you have, you'll be happy to know that when these guys act alone, you diagram them just like you would diagram any other noun or pronoun.
Since nouns and pronouns can perform many jobs in our sentences, you must first decide which job the pronoun is performing.
Then, you'll be able to diagram it like a rock star!
Here are the possessive pronouns that are used before nouns.
my, your, his, her, its, our, their, whose
Although these pronouns basically function act as adjectives (Hey, they are modifying nouns!), some people still call them pronouns.
I focus on the fact that they are functioning as adjectives, and so I call them adjectives.
This is my cookie.
The word my is helping to tell us a little bit more about the noun cookie.
It is modifying a noun, so it is acting as an adjective.
When these guys are used before nouns, diagram them just like adjectives.
Find the noun that the pronoun is modifying and place the pronoun on a slanted line under that noun.
In this picture, you could place the pronoun anywhere that it says adjective.
To learn more about diagramming sentences, use these grammar exercises.
People often get confused and think that apostrophes belong in these pronouns.
* Those people are totally crazy. It's not true. Don't do it unless you want to look like a fool! *
it's, her's, our's, their's, your's
its, hers, ours, theirs, yours
Note that the word it's is different from the word its.
It's is a contraction for the two words it is.
Its is a possessive pronoun.
What's the right answer? You can learn how to form compound possessives that contain personal pronouns here.
If you want to teach or learn grammar the easy way, then follow a step-by-step program that clearly lays everything out for you and allows you to move at your own pace.

Sentencing phase of death penalty trial begins
By 67AM KPUA News
HONOLULU (AP) Jurors who must decide if a former Hawaii soldier will be sentenced to death are expected to hear from witnesses including his family, high school friends and fellow inmates.
The sentencing phase in Naeem Williams' trial began Wednesday in a process where jurors will decide whether he will be sentenced to death or life in prison without possibility for release.
Defense attorney Michael Burt asked jurors to consider Williams' background and character to determine that death isn't justified.
Aunt Trenia Muse testified that Williams' stepfather was abusive. She says her nephew's life should be spared.
The jurors convicted Williams of murder in the beating death of his 5-year-old daughter, Talia. They also found him eligible for the death penalty.
Talia's mother testified about the lasting pain of losing a child.

When the next government at the Centre presents its first full budget, it will certainly look at the numbers given in the interim budget in the backdrop of the findings like that of the independent evaluation office (IEO) which has detected the government spends R3.56 for delivering food worth R1, and the leakages in the public distribution system (PDS) is still as high as 40%. Clearly, in the absence of a workable roadmap, medium-term subsidy control projectionsand in turn, reining in fiscal deficitare just a pipe dream.
Even though the expenditure on almost everything has been cut in FY14 to keep the fiscal deficit at 4.6% of GDP in the interim budget, the subsidy bill for the year has been revised upwards to R2,45,452 crore from the budget estimate of R2,20,972 crore.
The revenue projections for FY15 look as unrealistic as they were in FY14, evident from the huge R76,965 crore shortfall. So, finance minister P Chidambaram has done the right thing by outlining the task for curtailing subsidies in the medium-term fiscal policy statement. For FY15, the major subsidies burden has been kept almost same as that of FY14, at R2,46,397 crore. This means, it will decrease from 2.2% of GDP to 1.9%. And from there, policy reforms and better targetting are supposed to bring it down to 1.8% in FY16 and 1.6% in FY17. How will this happen? The two main tools targeted are price increase, already being done in case of diesel, and Aadhaar-based direct benefit transfers (DBT). The DBT scheme in LPG subsidy disbursal, currently on hold, has shown that it is possible to curb leakages through Aadhaar identification. More than R2,500 crore were transferred to the LPG consumers' bank accounts before it was stopped on January 30. Considering the leakages even on conservative estimates have been projected at 40%, there is no doubt that Aadhaar-based transfers can play a major role in bringing down the subsidy burden going ahead. This seems increasingly possible given that Aadhaar enrolment stands at nearly 59 crore at the last count and is moving ahead at a rapid paceover 30 million added every month.
On the price increase side, major work has to be done in oil and fertiliser subsidies. And in petroleum, the major part of the subsidy increase in FY14 is on this count from R65,000 crore in the budget estimate to R85,480 crore in the RE, diesel price

I recently had a conversation with my friend, Sandy, about eliminating processed ingredients and chemicals from our diets. We are both very concerned about what is going into our foods and would love to eliminate as much as we could. At one point we even talked about trying to eat a vegan diet temporaily just to see the impact on our health.
The best part? We stopped mid-conversation to laugh at ourselves because we were having this conversation over some seriously delicious brownies. AND that conversation was very Skinny Sometimes.
I make unhealthy choices all the time, so much that I could have a spin off site called Skinny Never. Most of my posts are about making healthy choices, because I do believe it's best when healthy choices are in the majority… but sometimes it doesn't alway work out that way. And so, here are just a few unhealthy choices I've made recently:
I don't know the last time I got 8 hours of sleep. I'm trying to make an effort and I have yet to be successful, but I know I will figure it out. I keep busy and like to be productive. My husband lectures me at least 3x a week about getting sleep. You can see one of these lectures in the photo above. Side note: This screenshot got almost 40 likes on Instagram. I know he is right, he knows he is right, he doesn't need 40 other people telling him he is right.
Last night around 11:45 pm, Mr. Fitness enters the bedroom…
Husband: Why are you still awake?
Me: I was up late writing a post about making unhealthy choices, like not sleeping.
Husband: Did you put that in the post?
Me: Yes.
Husband: No you didn't, really?
Me: Yes, of course I did.
Husband: Did you put in all the stuff I tell you about sleep?
Me: YES.
What you see in my lunchbox works great in theory, but sometimes I just not in the mood for that. It's packed and ready to go but sometimes I just really want a big pasta or rice dish, you know? So I get that. Sometimes I just want cookies for dinner. As long as it isn't emotional eating and it is something I really want, I go for it. I also try to be conscious of how I feel because that is important to me too and I don't want food to make my physically feel lousy.
I'm sure this post is beginning to drag right about now, so here is a picture of Meeko from 2008.
I can't tell you the last time I picked up a weight, squatted, planked… heck, flexed a muscle. I have been going for sporadic jogs, but lately, if I do anything its a quiet morning walk on the weekends or watching Melissa and Joey while walking a snail's pace on the treadmill. OR watching Melissa and Joey on the couch has also been my cardio of choice lately. P.S. I really love Melissa and Joey and it's time the world knows. I have cut back a lot on exercise in order to try and obtain more sleep, but it hasn't been helping. I don't think it is okay to be lazy. I do think it is okay to listen to your body.
Negative Self-Talk
I know I'm constantly yelling at all of you to be nice to yourselves, but I slip up, all the time. In fact, I just got off the phone with a friend who I just admitted my current self-doubting thoughts too which inspired this post. I know it's unhealthy to talk negatively to myself and I usually catch it and change it right away, but sometimes I don't. Sometimes it is really hard, but I know it is really important. Recognizing and correcting self-destructive behavior is half the battle.
Anxiety / Managing Stress
I traveled to Chicago for a conference by myself last month. It was the first time traveling alone to a place where I didn't know anyone. Five days before I left I woke up with horrible stomach pains from stress. This has happened before about a year ago and I was given a prescription to take on an as-needed basis. I was stubborn and insisted on fixing it on my own without medicine so it took me two days of absolute pain before I finally caved in and took the pills. Which made me feel better… go figure. I have been making more of an attempt to start meditating 5 minutes a day… I'm getting there, but probably not anytime soon. I'm not having panic attacks or experiencing the level of anxiety I have in the past, but regardless, anxiety is anxiety and if it makes me physically sick I obviously don't have a handle on it.
I didn't juice yesterday morning because I decided to sleep a little longer instead and I felt guilty about it for a few minutes. Then I realized, um hello? Seven months ago, I never juiced and I was just fine. I also feel guilty about sleeping too much sometimes and sometimes I feel guilty about doing fun things because I could be working instead. Sometimes I feel guilty about feeling guilty and telling all of you to leave the guilt at the door. I felt guilty about going to the Justin Timberlake concert a couple weeks ago instead of working. Then Justin took the stage and the balance was restored in the world again. Side note: I'm currently obsessed with all things Justin so no regrets about going to the concert. On the jumbo-tron he had bags under his eyes, so I'm not the only one who isn't getting enough sleep, am I? P.S. He is still pretty cute with the bags under his eyes. P.P.S. I'm still Team Cameron.
What are choices you've made recently?

DALLAS — In the futuristic world of winsome dreams, cheeseburgers have single-digit calories; workouts, single-digit minutes.
Well, hold tight to your jet pack. The magic wand has been waved — not for cheeseburgers, but it seems so for workouts.
Cases in point: Research published in the American College of Sports Medicine's Health & Fitness Journal touts the effectiveness of a strength-training workout using only body weight and lasting merely 7 — albeit very uncomfortable — minutes.
A Norwegian study found that 4 minutes of high-intensity activity — heart rate at 90 percent of maximum capacity — shares similar benefits to four such efforts separated by 3 minutes of downtime.

The benefits of high-intensity training have been known for a while, experts tell us. But in our busy lives, new research on shorter and shorter workouts continues to tantalize, especially when compared with the 150 weekly minutes of exercise recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
"What's important to remember is that there's no magic in any of this," says Allen Jackson, chairman of the department of Kinesiology, Health Promotion and Recreation at the University of North Texas.
The point, he says, "is getting active, the muscle groups you're working, the specificity of training."
It's also the level of intensity, which, in order to make the exercises effective, has to be extreme. Four minutes at 90 percent of maximum heart rate is hardly casual.
"That's the highest range of intensity that the American College of Sports Medicine recommends," he says. "The highest! The highest! That's Michael Phelps!"
The trick of intervals is that they "allow you to do something harder for a short period of time and allow you to build up to that level of intensity," says Benjamin Levine, medical director of the Institute of Exercise and Environmental Medicine at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. "If it's just longer periods of lower intensity you do, you'll never be able to do more."
"When you do high-intensity aerobic intervals, you have a nice change in the heart," Levine says. "The heart muscle gets stronger, your muscles get stronger and better able to utilize oxygen."
If you're exercising to lose or maintain weight, keep in mind that working out for the 150 recommended minutes spread over a week burns more calories than the shorter bursts.
"More moderate, longer-term exercise will have lower risk for injury. Joggers get injured; walkers don't very much," Jackson says. "The drawback? It takes more time, and time is definitely a barrier."
Also, saying a workout will last 4 minutes, or 7, or even shorter periods of time isn't entirely accurate, Levine says.
"Of course you have to warm up. There's recovery between," he says. "Nobody should think you put on your shoes and in 4 minutes you'll be finished."
Additionally, these aren't workouts just anyone can plunge right into, Jackson says.
"My concerns are about injury and about someone who really isn't ready to do a high-intensity exercise bout," he says. "You just can't start that off. It just isn't a good idea, especially when you talk about sedentary people going all out."
He and Levine do agree that shorter stints can have a place in a workout regimen.
"Four minutes," he says, "would be better than no minutes. But make sure you're ready to do those 4 minutes."

This was great! I'd been using my mom's meatloaf recipe ever since finishing college but this was way better (sorry mom!). Having said that, I did make some small changes. I added about 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach (thawed) to the meat mixture and also a Tbl of Worcestershire sauce. And I also sautéed the onions in butter with two cloves of garlic before adding to the meat mixture. Last but not least, for the "glaze" I used 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 Tbl brown sugar, 1 Tbl Worcestershire sauce, 2 Tbl horseradish, 2 Tbl spicy brown mustard and 2 Tbl tomato purée and smeared it all over the top and sides of the meatloaf before cooking - and the result was very delicious, if I do say so myself! Baking time was exactly as stated - perfectly cooked and very moist - thanks Stephanie!
The meatloaf with the glaze have a wonderful taste. I used less brown sugar in the glaze. Thanks Stephanie :) Made for Name that ingredient tag game
Yummmmy!! This meatloaf was perfect. Only thing I did different was use Ritz crackers. The sauce was perfect as well as the consistency of the meatloaf. Will def make again :)

The dangers of television
Wifey has had a rough time at work recently. She said she wanted to find something to make her happy. And she thought she might be able to find it in Zara. So on Sunday I let her go shopping and I hung out with M.
We do some chasing games and bounce on the bed then we watch Peppa Pig until she falls asleep on my chest. With time to myself, I consider playing some pc games but then I change my mind, place M on the sofa and pop in my The Wire box set DVD. And promptly fall asleep.
When I wake up Toddler M has got some baby powder from the bathroom cupboard, wrapped it in a newspaper and says she wants to "Go out. To work the corner."
I pick up the phone to call wifey. M knocks it from my hand and says "Don't be silly daddy. Wire. Feds listen".
NB: For readers who don't know (ie Mum and Dad) The Wire is a clever, sometimes darkly funny, perfectly plotted, crime drama series that gives a complex portrayal of the illegal drug business in Baltimore, USA. The title refers to the wire taps that the cops use to listen in on the street gangsters' elaborate drug dealings.
The script is full of street slang and is hard to understand (although Baby M had no trouble) and it stars British heart throb actor Dominic West as a maverick cop.
It is one of the greatest tv shows to have ever been made.
nice 😀
Thats the kind of thing you are just thankful she breaks out at home, and not in a more delicate setting!

Hi. Outside of a 115 mile, 2-day MS ride, I've never done a big ride (+50 mile) much less a tour.
Though I do ride 10 miles a day in commuting to work & back, my ambition is to do something more like short tours or just overnights in local state parks.
So when a good friend said his brother wants us to get together for a 3-5 day ride this June, I just said hell yes. We live in Pennsylvania & the brother lives in Atlanta, GA. His inspiration is lets do a ride in Kentucky. I am open to riding anywhere but there seems to be not a whole lot of bicycle-touring information involving Kentucky, except for the TransAm which briefly runs into & then exits right back out of the state. I did find one travel-log from some TA riders on Crazyguyonabike, but their photos are way less than encouraging. It just looked bland compared with other journals.
All I want to ask of experienced tourists on this forum is this: has anyone here ridden around Kentucky? Can you recommend some 3-4 day rides?
Alternative question: Should I suggest another state or multi-state route? Could you recommend some other mid-atlantic states with better routes?

Driven to Distraction
Cell phones, reading, makeup, keep Portland drivers' eyes off the road
The Portland Tribune, Mar 19, 2009
A driver digs into a burger after leaving a drive-thru while merging into traffic along Southeast Grand Avenue.
Like moths drawn irresistibly to flames, we just don't seem able to hang up and drive.
Driving while talking on a cell phone is the distraction equivalent of driving drunk, we've been told. And still, more than one in two drivers admit to cell phone driving in the latest Foundation for Traffic Safety survey. The young apparently are worse: Nearly half of drivers 18 to 24 admit that they send text messages while driving.
Oregon's Legislature is getting the message; it is considering a bill banning all but hands-free cell phone use while driving.
But cell phone driving is only part of the equation. People who wouldn't think of getting in a car without buckling their seat belts will reach for the lipstick while they're driving — over there, in the handbag on the back seat. They will read a book when traffic slows them down, or they'll turn around and fiddle with children in car seats.
What are we, nuts?
No, just optimistic, says Barry Schwartz, professor of psychology at Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pa., and author of "The Paradox of Choice."
What allows us to ignore evidence and continue dangerous behavior, Schwartz says, is what the people who study these things call an "optimistic bias." That's the part of our brain that says the evidence doesn't really apply to us, because we're better, or more prepared or more careful, than everyone else.
Southwest Portland resident Anne, who requested that her last name not be used for reasons that are about to become obvious, must be really optimistic. She admits she applies her eyeliner every morning while commuting east on the Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway. But, Anne says, "I only take advantage of the red lights."
"I can't imagine putting it on in motion. I would probably poke an eye out and get into a multi-car pileup if I did it while in motion," Anne says.
As for her cell phone, Anne says she never makes calls while driving. But if someone calls her, she has been known to answer.
"When the phone rings, it's kind of a Pavlovian reaction," she says.
Besides, compared to other people she knows, Anne says her driving behavior is hardly risky. Anne points to a friend, an ex-lobbyist, who would read draft legislation from his lap every day while driving south to Salem.
In fact, Anne says, she's got a sort of fail-safe in her car that ensures she'll put her makeup down once the light turns green — she drives a stick shift.
"I don't like having my hands tied up with anything else," she explains. And the manual transmission also provides her a handy excuse for cutting off cell phone conversations, Anne says.
" 'I've got to go. Got to shift now,' " Anne tells her friends.

'I'm in control'
Optimists, everyone one of us. Schwartz reports that 86 percent of people in one survey think they are better than the average driver.
The divorce rate is close to 50 percent, Schwartz says, but just about 100 percent of married couples say they are less likely than the average couple to get divorced.
"Everybody thinks they're better than average at everything," Schwartz says. "The miracle to me is you can get popular support around banning cell phones, since people think (cell-phone driving) won't affect them."
A handful of states banned the use of handheld cell phones while driving. Oregon's Legislature is expected to decide in the next few weeks if it wants to follow suit by passing House Bill 2377, legislation sponsored by Rep. Carolyn Tomei, a Milwaukie Democrat, or one of two similar bills.
Tomei says that at her town hall meetings, a number of constituents asked her to do something about drivers who use cell phones. One woman, she says, told her that while walking in Milwaukie, 13 of 16 drivers who passed her were talking on cell phones.
Cell phones have a number of specific attractions, experts say. They allow us to stay socially connected, and in an increasingly impersonal world, that has appeal. In an increasingly taxing world, they allow us to multi-task, taking care of business during what seems to be wasted time alone in the car.
People's willingness to drive while impaired, in any form and from any source, is based on a lack of vivid experience telling them it is dangerous, Schwartz says.
Marie Helweg-Larsen, chairwoman of the department of psychology at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa., says it takes a vivid experience to overcome an optimistic bias, especially one that continually gets reinforced.
"Every time you talk on a cell phone and don't get in an accident, it's evidence in the column saying it can't be that dangerous," Helweg-Larsen says.
The only thing that will change that perception is getting in an accident while talking on the phone, Helweg-Larsen says. Even then, she says, the old way of thinking will eventually return. That's because worrying about getting in a car crash while talking on the phone is not what psychologists call "adaptive behavior."
"It's just not practical, psychologically, to worry every time you get in the car. It doesn't work that well. You cannot be on heightened alert every time you get in the car," says Helweg-Larsen, who admits she, too, uses her cell phone while driving.
Schwartz — who, by the way, admits he uses his cell phone while driving (so much for knowledge overcoming irrational behavior), and further admits he refuses to talk to his adult children if they tell him they are calling from their cars (indicating, possibly, that an optimistic bias doesn't extend to one's kids) — says a sense of control is part of the psychology, too. And Americans driving cars are all about control.
Many Americans reacted to the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Schwartz says, by believing it was suddenly unsafe to fly.
Schwartz says hordes of people who had long-distance vacations planned opted out of planes and into their cars, driving cross-country in some cases, and increasing the chances they would die in an accident. In fact, a Cornell University study estimates there were 2,170 additional highway deaths in the months after 9/11 due to people driving rather than flying — almost as many as died in the terrorist attacks. But those extra people who died in car accidents died feeling in control.
"It's that (thought), 'I'm in control when I'm driving, if there's a terrorist on the plane, what can I do?' " Schwartz says.
Using common sense
Ralph Keyes, the author of "Chancing It," has spent years interviewing people who live risky lives to determine how they make choices. Keyes says mountain climbers and high-wire aerialists are often afraid of spiders, or, even more frequently, Keyes says, of getting married.
Portland resident Margot Monti had no problem with getting married. But she won't talk on her phone while driving. Nor will she put on makeup or read a book while driving.
"I tried it once when I first got a cell phone and it freaked me out," Monti says. "I realized I was not focusing on the road, and it was not worth it."
It would be easy to label Monti as someone who doesn't take risks, except for the fact that she's a veterinary technician at the Oregon Zoo, working with tigers, elephants and condors, sometimes in situations she calls "potentially dangerous."
Monti perceives cell phone driving as much more dangerous than anything she does at work. "I have a lot of common sense and I make sure the people I work with are also using their common sense," she says. "And I don't think talking on a cell phone while driving is using one's common sense."
Josh Weller, a research scientist for Eugene's Decision Research Institute, has been interviewing 16- to 24-year-olds about distracted driving. His analysis of the situation: "You're going to see some really big spikes in accident rates in the next five years, due to distracted driving."
Younger drivers, Weller says, have plenty of rationalizations justifying cell phone driving and texting. Some say they only do it when they are on familiar neighborhood streets. Others say only when they are on a highway, where they don't have to turn.
"They think it's a personal choice," Weller says. "They've actually said, 'You could choose to be distracted by it or ignore (the phone).' It's somewhat scary when you hear these things."
Younger drivers aren't likely to put down their phones. "They're very attuned to their cell phones and very connected to their social networks and being on the pulse of everything," Weller says. "It's almost as if they think driving can get in the way of their conversations."
Lt. Gregg Hastings of the Oregon State Police knows he hasn't seen everything.
"I haven't had a breastfeeder yet," says Hastings, aware that some troopers have stopped cars and warned women about the dangers of breastfeeding while driving.
But Hastings says he and other law enforcement officers have seen plenty of dangerously distracted drivers. There's data on the risk of cell phone driving, which is why the Legislature is considering a law that would ban cell phone, as opposed to, say, reading while driving.
In fact, reading while driving is more common than most people think, Hastings says. Laptops, too.
Hastings, who drives an unmarked car, knows that without a law specifically banning cell phone use by drivers, he can't issue a citation to drivers.
"Sometimes I'll get their attention and roll my window down so they can see I'm an officer, and I'll gesture, 'Put your book down or put your makeup down,' " Hastings says.
Even Hastings has his limits. He says a few years ago he was on night shift, driving toward Lake Oswego on Highway 43, when he pulled up behind a Volkswagen minibus at a red light. The light turned green but the VW didn't pull forward. He shined his headlight through the rear window and saw two teenagers sitting in an unusual position — the passenger facing and straddling the driver, on his lap.
Which technically isn't a violation, Hastings says. He stopped the VW anyway and had the occupants, um, untangle.
"This one was so careless, I was not going to wait for something worse to happen," he says about the stop.
But was either one of the teens on a cell phone?
"No, it was a personal interaction," Hastings says.
Hastings says he can usually spot a driver who has an animal on his lap by the extra wide turns they make at intersections.
"They have one hand on the dog and one hand on the steering wheel, so they can't make tight turns like they're supposed to," Hastings says.
Cell phone drivers, he adds, usually drive too fast or roll through stop signs. Just last week, Hastings says, he was stopped at a crosswalk in Gresham when a pickup coming much too fast squealed its brakes and stopped two inches from the car in front of it.
"I looked over and the driver was just getting ready to light up a small marijuana pipe," Hastings says. "I was looking over at (the driver) and he and the passenger were laughing because they almost got in a wreck. He looked over at me and quickly put it down."
Ah, but we all know how reaction times can be slowed by certain illegal behaviors. Hastings cited the passenger for possession of an illegal substance.
"Personally, I'd like to see a law (that says) don't drive while distracted, because I've seen people with both hands eating a fast food hamburger and driving with their knees," says Sgt. Robert Voepel with the Portland Police Bureau's traffic division.
Voepel recalls a crash he saw a few years ago on Southwest Vermont Avenue that illustrates his point. A car rammed into a school bus that was waiting to make a turn. At the scene, he saw women's makeup plastered across the dashboard. At the hospital, the driver admitted that she didn't even see the bus.
"She nearly killed herself because she was busy putting on her makeup on the way to work," Voepel says. "I don't know how you can't see a yellow school bus."
Brenda Liles knows how, and she's thankful her daughter is alive. Liles works for the Oregon State Police, and was among the first on the scene the day her daughter's boyfriend said he wanted to break up. Unfortunately, this occurred while the daughter was driving her car on Interstate 5 south of Portland.
Liles' daughter was driving and crying and communicating with her boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend, via cell phone. She hit a patch of gravel at the side of the road, rolled her car, and landed upside down after sliding across a series of traffic lanes. If not for a railing that held, Liles says, her daughter's car would have plunged off a bridge, and her whiplash, bruises and cuts would have been the least of her worries.
Liles rushed to her injured, bleeding daughter who was being carried away to an ambulance, an image likely to stay with Liles all her life, as will her daughter's words.
"She was lying on the stretcher, "Liles recalls, "sobbing hysterically, (saying) 'I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry. I was texting.' "

Dan Reisberg, a Reed College professor who specializes in cognitive psychology, sent a cautionary letter recently to state Rep. Carolyn Tomei, D-Milwaukie, sponsor of legislation that would make talking on a cell phone while driving a primary offense. That means police could stop and ticket drivers seen talking while driving, without having to stop them first for some other offense.
Reisberg has studied the dangers of distracted driving and he thinks cell phone driving should be outlawed. But he doesn't believe Tomei's bill, which allows hands-free cell phones, goes far enough.
Reisberg points to studies that show it's not the act of holding the cell phone that distracts drivers, it's the conversations themselves.
A normal conversation might not even be too distracting, Reisberg says. But when talk becomes emotional, or heated or occurs at the wrong moment, the distraction level shoots up.
A conversation with someone sitting next to you while you drive could be similarly distracting, but it isn't, according to Reisberg and other experts. Their studies show that passengers are looking at the same traffic as drivers, and they adjust what they say to the driving circumstances, without even being aware they are doing so. When drivers are sliding in to freeway traffic, for instance, most passengers stop talking.
"They also keep an eye on you," Reisberg says. "If you're tense, they slow down (their talking)."
But the person you're talking to on a cell phone has no idea what's going on while you drive. And that, Reisberg says, is dangerous.
For her part, Tomei says she doesn't think a bill outlawing all cell phone use by drivers, including hands-free, would have a chance of passing the Legislature.
Who would object? "Everybody," Tomei says.

New Video Storytelling app, Adobe Voice has been introduced to iPad users
Adobe has launched its new animated video application, named as Adobe Voice for iPad. It is such an amazing app that allows the users to make video stories by compiling recorded music, voice, graphics, imagery, effects and voice. Through this application, both Adobe and iPad is hoping to make something for a large and wide scale of users as because from professional to students – everybody can use it as a personal tool and make some real creative things on their iPad. Apple has made it for free in the App store. However, the app is not compatible with all the iPads. It has only been made for iPad 2 and the technologically higher versions of existing iPads which have iOS 7 under the hood.
Adobe has not incorporated any edgy technology to make this app though. Its functionalities are quite similar to any other slideshow making tools. Some of Adobe's already existing technology like Adobe After Effects have been used to make this app work. The app consists of a step by step methodology that will help the users to get along with this. Firstly, it has some example videos and story starters that will take the users to shared-community video feed. It is more like library that is filled with about 25,000 icons, along with graphics engine by After effects, its own licensed image content cache, animated themes, background music and an attribution page. The videos can be shared on Adobe's Creative Cloud Platform, Twitter and Facebook.
Umang Bedi, Managing Director of Adobe Systems (South Asia) said at the launching event, "Adobe Voice puts the power of Creative Cloud's industry-leading video and audio technology into the hands of the masses. Our move to Creative Cloud has given us a much broader canvas for innovation and attracted many new users to Adobe. We believe Adobe Voice, and other mobile apps expected in the next few months, will continue the momentum we're seeing."

- Brief Bio
With a career that can most diplomatically be described as jobhoppin', one of the only constants in Trent's tumultuous live has been video games. A product of Rochester, NY, his first introduction to gaming was from the atypical combo of Bonk the Caveman and the 16-bit black sheep known as the Turbografx-16. Trent's enthusiasm for gaming was apparent almost immediately, with his parents needing to retrieve his unconscious body from in front of a still glowing TV with alarming frequency.
Since those early days Trent has become much more serious about the hobby, willing to rant about anything from the morality of God of War to the biting social commentary of Finny the Fish and the Seven Waters. Surprisingly, very few people care to listen to such ravings for longer than a few minutes before wandering off, so Trent decided to submit his opinions to GameCritics--of which he has been a longtime forum member--in an official capacity.
Trent is currently living in North Carolina, and still finding new and exciting games to fall asleep in front of, though these days the responsibility of retrieving him has passed on to his girlfriend.

Our site administrators receive many questions via email regarding the renown Seraphim song, so we decided to write up this article on the subject. The Seraphim song is known officially as the Trisagion, which means Thrice Holy, a direct reference to the fact that the song starts off with the words holy, holy, holy. The Trisagion is a standard length hymn within the Divine Liturgy of most Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox churches. In church sermons that practice the ancient Byzantine Rite, the hymn is sung in the run up to the Prokeimenon, as well as before the Epistle Reading. Within the Eastern Orthodox Church, a set of prayers even contains the Seraphim song, prayers which are referred to as the Trisagion Prayers. Within the Roman Catholic church an indulgence of 100 days is connected with the Seraphim song, and is used in daily prayer along with the traditional Sanctus and adoration of the Holy Trinity.
The word Trisagion originated within the Greek language, and as mentioned above it means "Thrice Holy". In the Old Testament book of Isaiah Chapter 6 verses 1 through 3, the prophet recollects his vision of the Seraphim, and then goes on to describe them as being locked in eternal song. The song that they sung goes, "holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of heavenly hosts, the earth is filled with His glory". The Trisagion takes this Seraphim song, and incorporates it into a singable hymn. Almost all of the various Christian churches regardless of denomination use the hymn in some fashion or another. The Greek Eastern Orthodox church pays particular honor to the hymn, as it's wrapped in tradition dating back to Theodosius II of Constantinople. The Coptic Orthodox church however believes that it predates Greek tradition, and that it was created by Nicodemus who shouted it after he saw Jesus Christ open his eyes after being removed from the cross.
The Trisagion has been formally translated into numerous different languages. It can be found in Latin, Greek, Gaelic, Armenian, Croatian, Polish, Romanian, Old English, French, Finnish, Georgian, Amharic, Japanese, and many others. Much care is taken during the translation process, and in most cases the representative church must sanctify the translation before it can be officially recognized. If you haven't heard the hymn before, then you are in for a real treat, as it sounds very beautiful in every language that I've heard it sung in. The regular prayer version even sounds nice, particularly in Latin and Greek. There are various places on the internet where you can either listen to the Trisagion in various languages, or you can watch a video of it being sung at various churches. I would encourage anyone reading this article to definitely listen to an actual version of the hymn, you won't be disappointed as it's extremely beautiful.
In modern times the Trisagion has been repeatedly modified by most Christian denominations, and it generally causes a lot of controversy each time one of these changes takes place. Many of the changes have been made to the wording, in attempt to make the hymn more melodious while being sung. Obviously this does not sit well with most Christian traditionalists, who feel that by continually chiseling at the Seraphim song, that much of it's very rich history will be lost forever. There have been several instances within the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christian churches where changes to the Trisagion have caused huge fractures within the church, with some people even going so far as to say changing it is equivalent to blasphemy. Despite protests towards any changes, in most cases the older generation will simply ignore the new version, and only the newer generation of church goers will adopt the new contemporary version.

Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The balance of surveyors reporting rising prices in the latest RICS and Ulster Bank Residential Market Survey for Northern Ireland was at the survey's highest since May 2007.CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)A net balance of 65% of respondents to the survey said that prices were up in the three months to the end of February.

A day before the MLS SuperDraft, Sounders FC moved five spots up the draft order as part of a trade Wednesday that sent veteran defenders Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and Patrick Ianni to the Chicago Fire in exchange for defender Jalil Anibaba.
In the deal, Seattle acquired the No. 8 overall pick in Thursday's draft — and a conditional third-round pick in 2015 — while sending the No. 13 pick to Chicago. The Sounders also cleared up about $200,000 in salary-cap space.
Anibaba, 25, started 93 of 96 MLS games with the Fire after being selected with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2011 draft. He had trained with the Sounders in the summer before his senior season of college at North Carolina.
"Jalil is a center back who has tremendous upside," said Sounders coach Sigi Schmid in a news release. "…We expect him to contribute right away."

Hurtado and Ianni were among five "original" MLS Sounders who had been with the franchise since its inaugural game in 2009.
Seattle's focus will shift to the future in the four-round SuperDraft, which is split into two days and starts at 9 a.m. Thursday. The Sounders could be looking to add a center back and/or midfield depth, according to assistant coach and scout Kurt Schmid.
This draft class doesn't have the difference-makers of years past, but there are "a lot of solid players," Kurt Schmid said. He added the lack of top-end talent is in part due to the homegrown rule, which allows MLS teams to sign standouts directly out of college if they came up through their youth-development program.
Rumor mill
The Sounders have been involved in several rumors recently, including possibly signing former MLS midfielder Marco Pappa with the No. 2 spot in the MLS allocation order, according to Goal.com. Pappa played for the Chicago Fire from 2008 to 2012, collecting 26 goals and 16 assists, before being sold to Dutch club SC Heerenveen.
The Sounders acquired the No. 2 spot in the order in a December trade with Chivas USA. Philadelphia is at No. 1 and hoping to sign U.S. international Maurice Edu, according to multiple reports.
Elsewhere, Seattle is in pursuit of defender Steffen Hagen, captain of Norwegian club Odds BK, according to Norwegian newspaper Telemarksavisa.
Lastly, Getafe, a first-division team in Spain, could be targeting Seattle forward Obafemi Martins, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.

ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, Tenn.
-- AEDC recently held a two-day design of experiments (DOE) introductory course at the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) for 20 of the center's engineers.
Jerry Kitchen, technical director for the Science of Test Engineering and Technical Management Office, said this course was the next logical step in bringing AEDC's engineering work force up to speed on the statistics' based approach to ground testing.
AEDC hosted the first DOE introductory course in 2008.
Kitchen and Michael Schlieder, AEDC's director of engineering and technical management, initiated the course and enlisted Dr. Jim Wisnoski to be the instructor.
Dr. Wisnoski, a principal consultant at Adsurgo, LLC, in Denver, retired from the Air Force after 20 years in various roles conducting, training and leading analytical efforts for the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center, USAF Academy, Air Education and Training Center and the Joint Staff.
"The Design of Experiments short course provided was out of AFMC funding for the Science of Test through the Air Force Institute of Technology Center for Operational Analysis whereby the Air Force is using a variety of analytical methods to improve test throughout the lifecycle of weapon systems," he said. "Mr. Greg Hutto teaches similar courses primarily at Eglin AFB with Dr. Jim Simpson. These two individuals are widely recognized as top Design of Experiments practitioners in the Department of Defense."
Jeremy Morris, an ATA project engineer, said he didn't hesitate when his manager suggested he attend the DOE seminar.
Morris, a former GE (General Electric) Aircraft Engines employee, said he was convinced of the importance of DOE's principles early in his career.
"Many of the Six Sigma processes adhered to at GE go hand-in-hand with DOE," he said.
"As a person actively involved in propulsion test planning and execution, I hoped the course would provide some new techniques to maximize efficiency while providing higher fidelity test results to our sponsor."
Tyler Neale, a test project manager at the Propulsion Wind Tunnel Ground Test Complex, said the decision to take the class made sense.
"I attended the class to get a brief background and overall understanding of DOE and how it can be applied on the job," he said. "DOE has the potential to allow testers to realize substantial savings in both time and money. In today's world of demanding efficiency, DOE could be used to reduce spending on testing while still obtaining a sufficient and necessary amount of data.
"However, based on my limited knowledge of DOE processes, I do see limitations with applying this technique to wind tunnel testing in particular. Changing flow conditions - Mach number, humidity, density, etc. - across a large spectrum frequently to obtain the test points determined through DOE processes may not be efficient. The lower number of test points may be offset by the higher cost of constantly changing conditions. Nevertheless, I do think sufficient up-front planning could help mitigate this limitation."
Dr. Wisnoski led the students in a practical demonstration of DOE on the second day.
"The paper helicopter experiment was an outstanding way to quickly see how DOE can be confidently applied to a test," Neale said. "While this was a very simple and rudimentary test, the underlying principles that can be applied to real-world testing were certainly seen. It is always useful to see something hands-on to supplement lecture."
