Al Ittihad have appointed Argentinian Enzo Trossero as manager until the end of the season.
The 56-year-old had previously coached Saudi League rivals Al Shabab for two years before leaving in 2009 due to family commitments and will replace compatriot Gabriel Calderon, who was sacked last month.
"I accepted the offer to coach Al Ittihad because I'm confident that I'll be coaching a big club and a lot of important stars of Saudi football," said Trossero.
"The period that the club is going through is natural and I hope that I can lead the team to success in the next period.
"I'm confident that Al Ittihad will return stronger than before and hopefully we can compete in the remaining local competitions and in the forthcoming Asian Champions League."

Pyongyang Takes on New Look
Pyongyang, October 11 (KCNA) -- The DPRK capital city of Pyongyang is undergoing a facelifting to mark the 100th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung.
The construction of 100,000 dwelling houses is progressing apace in the city. High-rise apartment buildings, a theatre and public service facilities are under construction in Mansudae area.
A public service complex covering 17,400 square meters and an outdoor ice rink covering 9,660 square meters have been built in east Pyongyang area on the other side of the River Taedong.
The complex will be furnished with up-to-date equipment for bathing, haircut and beauty treatment.
Amusement facilities and wading pool will appear in the Rungnado Recreation Ground.
A greening campaign is also under way in the city.
Greenhouses have been constructed in all districts and old fences of public buildings replaced with iron and stone ones of diverse shapes.
Exteriors of apartment and public buildings have been tiled and painted again in different colors and street light decorations have been renewed.

This CD is a joyous celebration of Caribbean music and culture that will delight children and adults. It includes songs such as All Aboard (Trinidad), Train is Coming (Jamaica), and Little Anancy (Trinidad).
Caribbean Playground is a sun-dappled disc that jigsaws the region into eight bright musical pieces, each with a surprisingly distinct sound.
Reggae dominates, getting its rub-a-dub-roasted warmth across by way of "Three Little Birds," "Jamaica Farewell," and others, but it doesn't drown out Trinidadian soca, Puerto Rican bomba, or Haiti's lovely, acoustic-heavy twoubadou. Add to that the vocal magnetism of a lot of these artists--Taj Mahal and the Wailers among them--and Putumayo's expected above-the-call packaging, and you get a CD that's cooler than a Kingston street fair, only easier on little kid ears (and lungs). -Tammy La Gorce

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

The Old Viscosity Ale from Port Brewing Co. in San Marcos, California pours out pitch black in color with no light getting through and is topped with a large, foamy, deep tan colored head that slowly recedes down to a thin film with a large collar. On the nose, this is big and roasty. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, a little oak and some dark fruit. In the mouth, deeply roasted with a myriad of flavors. Coffee, chocolate, light anise, oak, some vanilla, charred grain and molasses. Full bodied. Good carbonation. Slightly chewy mouthfeel. Thick sheets of lacing on the glass. The finish is long with the roasted grain and coffee flavors outlasting the others.
A solid dark, roasty ale with a vivid complexity of flavor. Definitely "Not Your Dad's 30W!" but it sure has that dark color and is fairly viscous. A wonderful brew that I am sure any dark craft beer drinker will really like. Highly recommended.

WOW! What a great video! This is not our "little" Taylor anymore. He's grown into a very handsome young man & so talented. Loved him in Twilight but now its time for more adult roles & projects.
It's so nice to see a good role model for young people, his parents did a great job raising him into the man he is today.

It looks like we'll have some more votes counted this afternoon, but not all. Here's a statement just in from the Alameda County Registrar of Voters Spokesman Guy Ashley:
Our staff is counting vote-by-mail ballots as we speak. We expect to get through the remainder of these ballots today. We will update the results this afternoon, as soon as we can. The provisional ballots are still being processed. That process will NOT be completed today and most likely will stretch into mid-week next week. How many of those ballots are from Alameda or any other area of Alameda County is impossible to say.
So today we will likely have a count of all the ballots people handed in at their polling places on Tuesday (what Ashley's calling "vote-by mail," what others have been calling absentee). And then the counting of the provisional votes, about 6,500 of them county-wide, will continue next week.

Kids to build LEGO robots for UTSA robotics competition March 31
(March 21, 2012) -- The Interactive Technology Experience Center (iTEC) in the UTSA College of Engineering will present the 2012 Getting Excited About Robotics (G.E.A.R.) Competition from 8:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m., Saturday, March 31 at the Convocation Center on the UTSA Main Campus. People of all ages are welcome to observe the robotics competition free of charge.
UTSA's G.E.A.R. is one of the largest domestic robotics competitions for youths in the United States. The annual robotics competition motivates third through eighth graders to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by offering engaging, interactive, hands-on activities that build technical skills and foster critical thinking, self-confidence, communication and leadership.
This year's event, "Power Up," challenges children to maintain the energy infrastructure of Energy Inc., a fictitious company created for the competition. Energy Inc. employees (competitors) will work with different sources of energy from traditional fossil fuels to green alternatives such as wind and hydroelectric energy. Students will build and program robots using LEGO® Mindstorms® NXT robotics kits to complete specific tasks at Energy Inc.
The G.E.A.R. competition is sponsored by Time Warner Cable, Valero Energy Corp., Lewis Energy, BP and Long John Silver's restaurants. More than 1,600 people are expected to attend including 119 teams of third through eighth grade competitors. In the past, competitors have come from as far as the Midland-Odessa area, Eagle Pass and Houston.
"The G.E.A.R. competition is the ideal platform to pique young students' interest in the STEM areas," said Mauli Agrawal, dean of UTSA College of Engineering. "We are grateful for the support of our sponsors who see the importance in fostering children's curiosity and interest in these fields through interactive applications."
iTEC's mission is to inspire youth by creating an environment where they can understand how engineering, science, mathematics and technology shape our lives and the future of our world. The center's focus areas include robotics, alternative energy, manufacturing, space science, aeronautics, environmental science, geology and forensics.

Israel No. 1 for Adventure Tourism
Posted By Viva Sarah Press On August 8, 2011 @ 12:00 am In | No Comments
Israel was ranked the top country for adventure tourism in 2010, according to a joint study recently published by George Washington University, the Adventure Travel Trade Association, and Vital Wave Consulting
The Slovak Republic and Chile were runners-up to Israel in the study that graded places with the Adventure Travel Development Index (ATDI).
The ATDI ranks countries in two categories: developed and developing, based on the countries' UN designation. Israel features in the 'developing' grouping.
The ATDI rates countries based on principles of sustainable adventure tourism. They use a combination of expert survey and quantitative data collected from international indexes that rank whether a country is safe and welcoming, adventurous and its culture's infrastructure, image, and readiness.
"When we first developed the technical method for scoring countries in 2008, we didn't know how it would be received," said Kristin Lamoureux, visiting assistant professor of tourism and hospitality management at George Washington University. "Three years later, countries are using the Index to argue for sustainable tourism over less favorable types of tourism development."
The Top 10 developed countries for adventure tourism, according to the survey, are Switzerland, Iceland, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Ireland, Norway, Finland, and Austria. The Top 10 developing countries are Israel, Slovak Republic, Chile, Estonia, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Jordan, Romania, and Latvia.

Will Kim Kardashian's Divorce Keep Her Away From Reality TV?
Now that Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Kanye West are expecting a baby, the reality star is insisting that she'll be a much more private person in the future. But it's not just maternal instinct or the influence of her publicity shy bf that's making Kim want to leave the limelight, it's also her divorce from Kris Humphries!
After Kim had one relationship dissolve on screen, she has no interest in allowing something like that to happen ever again.
"Going through a divorce for anybody is devastating and heartbreaking, and then to have to do it and feel like you have to explain what is happening is such an awkward thing," Kim told Du Jour magazine. "You have to explain your choice to millions of people, and then they're disappointed. I'm disappointed. Why are they disappointed?"
Kim's whirlwind romance with the NBA star, which culminated in their over-the-top wedding, was the stuff that reality show dreams are made of. But, of course, the cameras also captured their relationship as it fell apart, and Khloe saw just how hard that was on her sister. "I think to be thrown into a lion's den with everybody attacking her really hit her hard," she said. "It was very painful."
So Kris and Kim's endless divorce is now a hot topic on her latest reality show, but if Kim keeps her word, this might be the last major milestone of hers we'll see on TV! She's made it very clear that we won't see her in labor, and she maintains that her child won't appear on television until it's old enough to make that decision for itself.
We've said it before and we'll say it again, Kim: We'll believe that when we see it!

The method for roasting peppers is the same for any kind of peppers, but I have chosen Piperies Florinis, which are red sweet peppers, named after the prefecture of Florina, where they are cultivated.
Before giving my recipe, I wish to explain the easiest method for roasting peppers.
There are many ways you can roast them but I think the simplest is in the oven. Alternatively you can roast them on charcoal, which is the best, as they get the smoky taste, or on an open gas flame, which I do not have.
Piperies Florinis (Roasted Peppers from Florina) and how to roast them
- 1 kilo red sweet peppers (Florina type)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For preserving them:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons wine vinegar
- salt
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped (optional)
- Wash the peppers and after draining excess water brush them with the olive oil and place them in the oven at high temperature 220 degrees celcius until their skin blisters. Watch carefully so they do not burn and turn them over, once.
- Place the roasted peppers in a plastic bag and seal for 5 – 10 minutes and allow them to sweat.
- Open the bag and remove stems, peel, remove and discard the skin, seeds and any veins.
- When they cool put them in jars or in a Tupperware, airtight vessel. Add salt, wine vinegar and olive oil until they are covered. If you like you may add some finely chopped garlic slices.
They can be preserved in the refrigerator upto 1 week or even more.
The first thing I made was a side dish, very easy to prepare and very tasty.
Roasted Red Peppers with Feta
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Ingredients for 4
- 4 preserved peppers
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 medium sized onionos, finely chopped
- 1 large ripe tomato, peeled and cut into cubes
- 100 grams of feta or goat cheese, cut into cubes
- ½ cup of parsley, finely chopped
- A pinch of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A couple tbsp olive oil
- Sauté the onions in a non stick frying pan, add garlic and sauté as well. Add vinegar and mix, add tomato and cook for a few minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper and finally add feta and mix.
- Finally, remove from heat and add the parsley and paprika and serve on top of the preserved peppers.

The front of the table was decorated using our invitation as inspiration with alternating pink and blue streamers hanging from the front. This design was simple and inexpensive but added tons of pizzazz to our party. The pink and blue balloons on the front of our invite also inspired the look of our party space. We went with a more traditional route and hung pink and blue balloons throughout the space, and even added a few to our dessert table.

Following is a letter to parents from the head of one our local PTAs, Debra Cassidy at Bailey Middle School. It comes as the Mecklenburg County Commission considers its proposed 2013-14 budget, including school funding. The county commission meets Thursday night.
This time of year always brings much discussion and distress as budget decisions are made regarding funding for our schools. Not only do we have the local issues of CMS requesting approval of their budget from County Commissioners, but we also have the State Legislature making budget decisions as well.
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, CMS is working with County Commissioners for approval on its proposed budget. Available funding will be divided between CMS and CPCC.
The Mecklenburg Area PTA Council is asking for a show of support for CMS
at tonight's, Thursday, May 30th, County Commissioners meeting at 6:00 pm in Charlotte – Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, 600 East Fourth Street. If you can attend and show support for CMS it will be beneficial. The PTA Council feels the larger the presence of CMS supporters the better in order to get the County Commissioners to take notice.
AT THE STATE LEVEL, it is important to know that the changes made to the proposed state education budget will DIRECTLY AFFECT our children and our school here locally.
If you click on the link below it outlines many of the proposed budget changes. Please pay special attention to the sections about the loss of over 4,000 teacher assistants and cuts of over $376 million dollars which will affect instructional support, classroom supplies, and an increase to class sizes (no limit).
I urge all of you to please write to our state legislators and let them know that our children's education is important. By cutting the funding needed to pay for assistant teachers and instructional funds we are truly jeopardizing the future leaders of this state! Please follow the link to read details and contact your legislators today!

Local Groups (UK)
Getting in touch with a local group is a good way to experience the Longchen approach to meditation.
Our local groups are all led and taught by experienced, authorized teachers within the Longchen tradition. They are open to anyone who wishes to follow a direct and simple path of meditation with the intention of awakening one's own heart and mind, and being of benefit to others.
These groups offer inspiration and teachings from the Path of Freedom programme and support those new to meditation, as well as people already on Longchen Foundation courses. For those who wish to study and practice in the Mahayana Maha-Ati (Dzogchen) tradition, this is an opportunity to meet with the sangha of practitioners: those new to meditation, those already on the path of training, and experienced practitioners and teachers (some having trained with Rigdzin Shikpo for over twenty years).
The main meditation and practice for all courses in the Longchen Foundation is Formless Meditation. For those who wish to follow this meditative training, there will be opportunities to receive detailed instruction on the meditation technique from an authorised meditation teacher.
The format of the groups varies from place to place, but most meet weekly for meditation practice and group discussion or short courses.

'Game of Thrones' meets 'Duck Dynasty' in 'Murder Most Fowl'Add to Favorites | Game of Thrones
According to Jimmy Kimmel, the Lannisters have a "powerful new enemy" in Season 3 of "Game of Thrones": the Robertson family of "Duck Dynasty."
Kimmel had "Game of Thrones" star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as a guest on his show and unveiled a "new scene" from the HBO series' upcoming season. In it, Coster-Waldau's Jaime Lannister fends off the new threat of the Robertsons and their duck legions. Words really can't do the sketch justice, so we'll let the above video do the talking for us.
Joking aside, the Lannisters definitely do have some worthy opponents in "Game of Thrones" Season 3. There's Robb Stark, Stannis Baratheon and Daenerys Targaeryen's armies to worry about, not to mention the Tyrells and the threat of the White Walkers. "Game of Thrones" returns to HBO on March 31 at 9 p.m. ET.

For some reason my iPad won't copy and paste the article, so just click the link to read it.
http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-trian ... ta-falcons
A fairly good read. I do feel better about this team's potential after last week's win. If they can keep that up maybe this team is "for real." But one note in the article about our improvement on defense, I'm not so sure I buy that. Our third down defense according to the official numbers at NFL.com are different than those cited in the article. We've allowed 42% conversion which is in fact 10th worst in the league, not 6th best. Our 3rd down defense and yards per play (which IMO are more reliable measures of which defenses are stingiest) are about on par with what they were last year.
Instead I think the biggest diff ends aside from the strength of schedule, is the improvement of the offense, particularly the passing game. And that improvement is largely because Matt Ryan is playing better.
Ryan is taking a bit more shots downfield, and has been much more accurate with his vertical throws than he was last year, coupled with how much he's improved in the pocket. Before one of the more common knocks on Ryan was that he needed a clean pocket, which I think was accurate. But this year, Ryan has done a much better job navigating the pocket and still finding windows with interior and edge pressure.
Even if Ryan only improved 25% in either area, I think it has directly translated to 25% improvement in the entire team.
I do think the coordinators have been pivotal as well, maybe not in the sense that they are getting a bunch more from their respective sides of the ball, but it may simply boil down to teams now having to scrap those 3-year old game plans and having new wrinkles to adjust to.

Re: Is This Real? Your 7-0 Atlanta Falcons
I think the article is spot on!! Coach Smith does teach his team about field position more than most, but in the playoffs its the defense that won't get the job done. Maybe we can win a playoff game, as I have said the Julio trade was about getting the offense over the hump; now we need a defense that is feared... You can't even think that about our present defense!!
If defense wins championships we're not ready yet; but this has been a good start and even putting a little pressure on us to keep it going....
Lets please stop handing the ball of to Turner. Just throw short out of the backfield!!

Worst to First? The Buccaneers Believe It
Forget about rebuilding or taking it slow. Tampa Bay's new general manager Jason Licht says his team is ready to win now. Can coach Lovie Smith, QB Josh McCown and company really compete for an NFC South division title in 2014?
First-year general managers generally say the same things. They express optimism that the losing franchise they took over can rebound. In the next breath, they acknowledge the reality that the team doesn't quite measure up yet.
Jason Licht, the first-time GM of the Buccaneers, doesn't have that air about him. He's a realist. The 43-year-old has been around the NFL block, working the past 18 years in the scouting and personnel departments of the Panthers, Patriots (twice), Eagles and Cardinals. Licht knows talent, and he sees it in the Buccaneers.
"I think we're going to compete," Licht says, walking off the field after the team's final practice before summer break. "No, I know we're going to compete, for the division this year."
In many ways, that isn't an outlandish statement. The NFC South, where Tampa Bay resides, hasn't been overly dominating. Going into next season, the Saints (11-5 last season) appear to have the strongest team, and the Panthers (12-4) aren't far behind though they were hit hard by departures. The Falcons (4-12 a year after being in the NFC Championship Game) hope to prove that last season was an aberration. But really, why can't the Buccaneers, coming off a 4-12 campaign that resulted in the firing of coach Greg Schiano and general manager Mark Dominik, compete for the division title this season?
Take one look at the Bucs' defensive depth chart, and remember that former Bears coach Lovie Smith is running things after a year off, and a competitive Tampa Bay team is very much in the realm of possibility.
"Absolutely, I sleep comfortable at night," Licht said. "I know this is going to be a very solid defense. Not just from the players we have, but who we have coaching it. I couldn't be more impressed with the staff that we have and the players, and adding (former Titans cornerback) Alterraun Verner to the mix. We have a lot of talent."
If there's anything that keeps Licht awake at night, it's the offensive line. He's very confident in left tackle Anthony Collins (free agent from the Bengals), center Evan Dietrich-Smith (Packers) and right tackle Demar Dotson. It's the two guard spots that need tending. Left guard Carl Nicks, a former All-Pro with the Saints, played just two games last season because of a toe injury and a recurring MRSA infection. He's not expected back until training camp. At right guard, there will be several players competing for time.
"We have three offensive linemen that I think could play for any team, both tackles and the center are players that I love," Licht said. "It needs to jell inside at guard. It's going to be a competition in there (at right guard). And not knowing if Carl is going to be healthy and what his status is, we have to prepare for all scenarios."
The Buccaneers are also a bit short of proven weapons to catch the ball from quarterback Josh McCown. Outside of Vincent Jackson and tight end Tim Wright, the Bucs are largely unproven. They'll need top draft picks Mike Evans (receiver) and Austin Sefarian-Jenkins (tight end) to get up to speed quickly at positions where rookies notoriously struggle. The Bucs are hoping offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford will be able to acclimate the rookies quickly after his long stint as Cal's head coach.
"You can see that happening on the field," Licht said of Tedford's ability to relate to the young players. "I've been very impressed with his attention to detail but also his creativity and how to get the right fits out there and the matchups out there. He's just real creative. He reminds me of (former Patriots offensive coordinator and current Texans coach) Bill O'Brien, kind of his approach and his attention to detail and he's just a football guy through and through. I know why Lovie hired him. Lovie spent a whole year going through various scenarios who he was going to hire at each position. (Tedford's) got no agenda, he's just a football guy and very creative and very smart."
While the Bucs spent a lot of money on free agents like Verner, Collins and end Michael Johnson, they feel the most impact will come from adding McCown at quarterback. He is providing the type of team-wide leadership that the Bucs have missed since, arguably, Derrick Brooks retired after the '08 season. Licht didn't know McCown well, but after he was hired, Smith basically mandated that team sign the 34-year-old journeyman.
"Lovie talked about it since day one when I was hired about Josh and how Josh was the type of person we needed in this locker room and on this team for the very reasons you're talking about," Licht said. "Of course I believe what Lovie said and trust him, but to see it firsthand within the first days that we actually signed him … the guy is just special. He lives, breathes and eats football. Somehow, he just has a way to capture the entire team. They all love this guy. He's really one of the most special leaders I think I've ever been around."
That's high praise coming from Licht, who was around Tom Brady in New England for years. "And I say it meaning it too," Licht said.
Licht also believes that the Bucs' turnaround will be immediate, and not gradual.
"Honestly, I feel really good," said Licht, who raved about his relationship with Smith. "I feel a lot better than I anticipated feeling when I first took the job. If I had a crystal ball and ask what's this going to look like in June, am I going to be stressed out all summer? It's so much better than I ever anticipated. I hate to sound cliché but we felt like we addressed most of the needs. There's more work to be done, no question. But, yeah, I feel really good about where we are."
Thank you for reading my profile earlier this week of 49ers general manager Trent Baalke, who is a complicated but extremely successful man. Since not much is known of Baalke nationally, I trended toward more of a straight personality profile. However, there were several nuggets about his thoughts on the NFL and why he does thing that did not make the piece. Here are a few:
On his influences: "Dick Haley was a great mentor. One of the best ever in the business in my opinion. (Bill) Parcells, (Bill) Belichick, guys that really believed in what they were doing and really understood what they wanted at every position. What's the prototype OLB, what's the prototype ILB? How do you want your team to look? Coach Parcells' rule of thumb was don't make exceptions because once you make an exception, then you'll tend to make another and another and another and pretty soon you have a whole team of exceptions. So that's what are you looking for, what players fit your system, what players fit the identity that you're looking for and then go get those players. It's really as simple as that. Being unwavering in making exceptions. Once you start, when do you stop? That is pretty much where that was formulated."
On Bill Belichick: "I think Coach Belichick's one of the best coaches I've ever been around and probably one of the best coaches the game's ever seen. He's extremely thorough. He's extremely disciplined in his approach. He's simplistic and complex at the same time. Some people take the simple and make it complex. Bill takes the complex and makes it simple and I think that when you're able to do that and do that for your players, they can function better mentally and physically and that's the goal. The goal is to reduce the amount of mental drag on your players so they can play the game fast. And finding players that can do that is an important quality that we all look for."
On the pressure to compete with the Seahawks: "I can't be consumed by what takes place in Seattle any different than Kansas City or Baltimore or St. Louis or any other place. What we're consumed with is getting better and getting better at every aspect of our organization and there's no better way to get better than to self-evaluate: what have you done well, what haven't you done well, where can you improve and do the same with every aspect of the organization."
On the development of young players: "It's hard to draft a young guy and expect great things from him year 1. That doesn't happen very often in the NFL. That's not to say that young guys can't play, but it's hard to bring them into key roles as young players and expect them to perform at a high level. So it's better to get a year under their belt. So if you can stay a year ahead of the curve and you can get a guy in and you may not need as a full-time player year 1, but work them into that role year 2, year 3, that's an ideal situation. It doesn't always work that way. Guys get injured, other things happen, and you have to be able to adapt. And our coaching staff does a tremendous job working with young players and developing young players. We saw that last year with Eric Reid, couple years ago with Mike Iupati and (Anthony) Davis, Aldon Smith rookie year. Bruce Miller came in as a young guy and coach (Tom) Rathman got him playing good enough to be a Pro Bowl caliber guy. It does happen but it really comes down to identifying the talent, and then developing the talent. And that's two separate things. For this all to work, you have to have both things working as one."
1. The idea of an NFL source calling the effort by Saints tight end Jimmy Graham to be tagged as a receiver under the franchise tag a "naked cash grab," as one did to ESPN.com's Mike Triplett, is fall-on-the-ground funny. I mean, is there a professional sports league that looks for money in every conceivable corner more than the NFL? Everything's about revenue and ratings. Talk about a lack of self awareness.
2. You better believe that Graham has a great case to earn $12.3 million as a receiver rather than $7.035 million as a tight end, and don't be surprised if the Saints and Graham reach a deal before Graham's grievance is heard on Tuesday. As colleague Andrew Brandt is fond of saying, "Deadlines spur action." There is little that separates Graham from many receivers. He's not the greatest blocker in the world, so he lines up off the line almost 70 percent of the time, according to ESPN. Graham is a receiver by definition in almost every respect. The NFL and the Saints know this. Just like the Packers knew about Jermichael Finley before they struck a deal with the free-agent tight end before his grievance in 2012.
3. Yes, Vikings receiver Jerome Simpson said this week that he's worth more than the team is paying him. But it was refreshing to hear him understand that he put himself in this position. "I made my bed, so I got to lay in it," Simpson told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "I got to just keep improving and move on and make plays. When it's time to get paid or whatever and get the contract I deserve, then it's going to happen." Simpson was arrested in November on suspicion of drunk driving, and pled guilty in '12 after mailing two pounds of marijuana to his home when he played with the Bengals. Subsequently Simpson's salary went from $2.1 million to $1 million this season.
4. Interesting that Browns coach Mike Pettine said that receiver Josh Gordon doesn't hustle as much as he should during practice. Somebody should send a copy to former offensive coordinator Norv Turner. (I kid because I love; Turner is one of the best offensive coordinators in the history of the game.)
5. Like that the Falcons have volunteered to do HBO's Hard Knocks this summer. With the franchise in near make or break mode, it should be interesting. And I'm kind of blown away that coach Mike Smith agreed to do it. He prefers very much for his work and ideas to be under the radar.
Under Lovie Smith, I'm sensing they'll be better. I don't know if I have the same confidence in Jeff Tedford's offense, but we'll see. So the Bucs are a hold. That's an improvement over Schiano who was a sell candidate from day one.
Thank goodness.
<<Interesting that Browns coach Mike Pettine said that receiver Josh Gordon doesn't hustle as much as he should during practice. Somebody should send a copy to former offensive coordinator Norv Turner./>>
Does anybody know what this means? A copy of what?
Or 8-8 would be ok too.

Do you right wingers ever stop whining about things? Hey-Zeus Crease-toe. If you don't like what Peter King writes there's actually a pretty easy fix... Stop reading him!
..What am I thinking, you can't expect a Republican to accomplish something. Especially something that's easy and right in front of their face!
the bucs will be improved but when your first order of business is to bench your second year starting qb for the very definition of journeyman qb you are in trouble on that side of the ball. any bears fan will tell you we heard the same story about the offense being improved every year no matter who lovie brought in to run it. but at the end of the day it was the same get off the bus running attack as always. it may start out looking like a real NFL offense but wait untill you get a field goal to take the lead, then it's hand the ball off and let the defense protect it. the big play in a lovie offense is a third down wr screen pass, your tight end will catch 1 pass maybe 2 at the most no matter how many yards they get. he absolutely refuses to run a play that works more than once a game.
Jason Licht is not a realist on the offensive side of the ball---not at all.
Bucs have no chance in that division
If the Bucs D can't create a pass rush than the Bucs record will only be slightly better than last year.
"Smith basically mandated that team sign the 34-year-old journeyman."
This is where it went wrong in Chicago. Don't let Lovie make personnel decisions. Leave that to the GM. Especially when a defensive head coach mandates mandates the QB he wants. That one sentence negates the whole article.
Greg, Peter King here checking in while on vacation. I just read your story and it seems to contain nothing but football related things. I could not find any left wing liberal political views nor any man love crushing on anything Patriot. I have spoke to you about this before and warned you. Leave the office immediately, you are terminated. I will have your belongings and last paycheck sent to you.
@17isCursedUse89 Do you liberals ever stop whining about "right wingers" and racism?
@metalhead65 Tedford's a better offensive coach than that. Things fell apart at Cal because he wasn't much of a recruiter, but the offense usually stayed interesting.
@Buck2185 On the plus side, he did mention Bill Belichick. That has to count for something. Then again, he didn't say anything about Tom Brady.
Peter, you were correct. Usher this man out of the building asap for a public stoning.
@Buck2185 Peter, you failed to mention the lack coffee or beer snobbery. Have him escorted out.

City leaders hold differing viewpoints on efforts to address capital improvement needs, with some expressing concern areas might be overlooked and at least one saying initial talks will include "everything under the sun."
Ward 7 Alderman Henry Vaughn pointed out that work on Carver Drive was not included in a proposal presented to aldermen in their packets Tuesday.
"We're taking taxpayer money. I see it over and over. We go everywhere and we do everything with it, but they (are) taxpayers too," Vaughn said, asking why projects such as those on Carver Drive – where drainage problems are an ongoing issue – were not included.
He also pointed out that properties annexed in 1998 were not on the list either, referring to property on the city's north side where city services have yet to reach.
"We're just going way around the world with taxpayer dollars and we're not taking care of the things at hand," Vaughn said.
Mayor Parker Wiseman said the document's list of projects was not meant as exclusive but rather as examples.
He went on to explain how he hoped a consultant would help the city.
There are some capital planning documents in place, but not a comprehensive, 10-year plan, the mayor said.
"The first step in that process is to sit with board members and the city staff to get a brainstorm list of everything under the sun that is a potential capital improvement project for city development, Wiseman said. Then, officials would put the list with budget numbers then after that, put it with budget figures and pull together a 10-year-plan "where we determine what's realistically affordable and what's not," he said.
"I can tell you if there are things you want listed in that description that aren't in there, we can add it," Wiseman said.
Ward 6 Alderman Roy A. Perkins said: "Let's go ahead and list these projects, I mean that's leadership. That's the way I define leadership." If projects such as Carver Drive aren't included, "it's going to be an all-out war," Perkins said. "We name some of the projects and we leave others out."
He went on to say: "We already know what needs to be done. We have enough identified capital improvement projects that we can try to get done with our limited money that we have."
The board agreed to seek the request for proposals for a consultant to develop the capital improvement plan to include areas of the city annexed in 1998.
In an unrelated matter, city officials and those with Bluefield Water Association will work finalizing an agreement to allow the city to assume the association's assets and serve the organization's territory.
On Tuesday, the Board of Aldermen voted to allow Wiseman to sign the document.
The association's customers will receive the same rates as those in the city, association president Paul Welch said.
A city customer using 5,000 gallons in a month pays $18.25. Someone on the Bluefield system would be billed $19 for the same volume. The figures do not include sewer charges.
At a Nov. 19 meeting, association members voted to accept the city's offer to take over Bluefield, Welch said.
"I think it's a good move for Bluefield. I think it's a good move for the city. I think our customers will be happy. The water rates will reduce. I think it's a good move for the city. I feel good about it," he said.
The city supplied water to Bluefield under a 1986 agreement, which in turn Bluefield provides to its customers in its western territory, according to federal court records. In the 1990s, the city started serving customers in segment of Bluefield's service area east of the Highway 25 bypass, according to the court filing.
Negotiations for the city to buy Bluefield began in 2004, but association representatives said Starkville's effort to supply water in the eastern Bluefield area violated its right to serve the region.
The city and Bluefield battled in federal court after the association asked the city to allow it to connect to a 12-inch pipe instead of an 8-inch line with a 6-inch connection, but the city declined.
A federal court required the city to supply Bluefield with water via the 12-inch line.
Once the agreement is signed attorneys for both sides will file a motion to end the litigation, Welch said.
The association serves about 550 metered customers, including two large apartment complexes, with several hundred units total between both of them, he said.

An OUSD parent called my attention to the following Education Week blog post by Diane Ravitch, an NYU researcher and former United States Assistant Secretary of Education, about extreme measures to improve public schools in Chicago, Washington, D.C. and New York City. Ravitch talks about new school creation and the wholesale replacement of teachers and principals.
Sound familiar? She writes:
From what I know, and from what I have seen, schools are not shoe stores or hamburger joints, which can be opened and closed at the owner's whim. They should be durable institutions with deep roots in the local community. If they are low-performing, every effort should be made to help them. And, further, I have seen many terrible new schools created in the past few years, some of them regular public schools, some of them charter schools. Contrary to the new popular wisdom, it is not easy to create a good school from scratch. There is not an army of great principals and teachers who are waiting in the wings, ready for the call to start a new school.
OUSD has taken this approach a step further, by moving to close some of these new schools, created from scratch, that have the same low test scores and high dropout rates as the ones they replaced.
Would you argue that some schools need wholesale change to give students the quality of education they deserve? Or have those changes proved to be a distraction from the underlying challenges facing public education, and created needless instability?

Pfeiffer Hall was made possible by the generosity of Henry and Anna Merner Pfeiffer (see Merner Hall). In February 1941, a new wing was opened to provide additional rooms. Pfeiffer was a women's residence hall until 1978, when it became coed. Pfeiffer was closed until 6th Block of the 2008-2009 Academic Year for extensive renovations.
Located at the center of the "tri-hall area" and overlooking the Cedar River Valley, Pfeiffer is home to approximately 160 men and women and includes co-ed floors where rooms alternate men and women. Pfeiffer Hall is extremely social and houses a diverse group of students. At any given time you are likely to find Pfeiffer residents congregated in the floor lounge or in the main lounge playing board games, singing along to someone's guitar or telling ghost stories (especially those about the attic). Pfeiffer residents take great pride in their building and in the comfortable community atmosphere that exists here. The main lounge is the most spacious on campus and is host to regular meetings of various student groups. Pfeiffer also has a academic classroom and a conference room available for student use.

Study Hints
First: There is no one method that is best for everyone. However, there is one thing you can do that improves your odds and that is to study on a regular basis throughout the semester. The data shown to the right makes it clear that students who do this are far more likely to do better on exams. Part of the reason is that you do not remember material as well when you are stressed and also tend to forget what you do know, which is what happens when you cram. This explains why you do badly on an exam and then remember the material later, the stress interferes with your recall.
Second: try as many different study habits as possible, and see which seem to work for you. Some specific things you might try, singly or in combination:
Third: Check out advice from other sources.

If I were to try and explain last week, I would have way more pages than anyone wants to read. Not to mention, it was intense enough that much of it bled together and I still have to sort and settle all the information and experiences. As a run-down to get a structured idea of our days, I've got a list below, then I'll go into specific stories. Essentially we took a 5 hour drive up north to Hat Creek Radio Observatory with the Allen Telescope Array and stayed in the dorms up there to do various science projects related to SETI research.
Day 1: ATA
- Morning lectures by Jill Tarter and Gerry Harp
- Introduction to radiation and the Allen Telescope Array
- Radioastronomy in more technical detail
- The Radio Camera (Gerry Harp)
- ATA Lab: observing overhead satellite signal
- Card games with Gerry Harp and Oana
Day 2: ATA
- Morning lectures by Jill Tarter and Gerry Harp
- Signals and feasible searches
- LNSD Interferometry and ATA application of Young's Double Slit Experiment
- ATA Lab:
- Evening movie?
Day 3: Cinder Cone and Lassen Volcanic National Park
- Climbed Cinder Cone
- Watched Contact with Jill Tarter
Day 4: Extremophiles and Sulfur Works
- Birthday Celebration for Kathryn
Day 5: Helping with Science Camp and Milkshakes
The ATA is the Allen Telescope Array at Hat Creek Radio Observatory, a collection of 42 dishes, one day 350 if there is ever funding to finish the array. While some of the large telescopes like Arecibo and the new one the Chinese are building may seem flashier, having multiple small dishes actually optimizing everything from cost to resolution to area of sky. With the current 42 6.1m diameter dishes, the result is equivalent to a 30 m dish. If all 350 get funded, the entire array will be equivalent to a 114 m dish. In particular I like Jill Tarter's wish, which can also be seen on her TED talk: "I wish that you would empower Earthlings everywhere to become active participants in the ultimate search for cosmic company." I highly recommend her TED talk if you haven't seen it: http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_tarter_s_call_to_join_the_seti_search.html
Another part of the lectures I found particularly engaging were the few messages we have sent out with Voyager 1 &2 and Pioneer 10 & 11. If you haven't checked it out, wiki it, because it's really a nice shift in figuring out how to relay information, particularly the one that uses pulsars with relative lengths and binary periods (since pulsars slow over time) imbedded in the lengths to establish both a time and place.
The first lab used one dish for each of the three groups to track across the sky and across a satellite in order to demonstrate both the noise that results and to provide us with an idea of what receiving a signal looks like in reference to the background. It also goes through some of the necessary calculations and manipulations.
The second lab is a demonstration of radio telescope's version of Young's double slit experiment, but using antennas instead of slits. The following images display a signal from tracking a satellite, with
a hatched pattern across a square area of sky. The first image starts with using the data from only two antennas, corresponding to the double slit from Young's experiment, with each image incorporating an
additional antenna's data up to 15 then jumping to 18 for the last image. Increasing the number of antennas, adding constructive and destructive interference, reduces noise and results in a clean final
data image. The last slide shows the graphs of channels vs. amplitude, multiplying the x coordinate with itself and the y coordinate with the itself to remove the complex aspect of the data. Unfortunately, our images go saved as slide backgrounds so the quality is just from pulling screen-shots of smaller images.
Another cool moment was getting to watch Contact with Jill Tarter. Hearing some of the background from her own life as well as comments about locations such as Arecibo or helping with filming really fleshed out the experience into something I will never forget.
Day 3 was our geology day and was really more of a hiking day. Well, hike from hell. Ok, dramatic exaggeration, but getting up Cinder Cone took some determination – down two steps for every three and at a nice little angle of anger. We got to do a fun round table chat at the end of the day going over what some of us knew about various planetary geology aspects. The fourth day working with extremophiles I found very fun. I wish we had enough time to let more students go down to do the sampling from one of the low PH pools, but it was still cool to see. Abbey got to go down so she lent me her camera…and I promptly took at least 100 photos. Friday was our free day, and everyone went to a gorgeous waterfall. I stayed behind since I wanted to spend more time at the array. As it turned out, a group of about 35 science campers were scheduled to come in. That was my favorite day. I ended up writing a kind of journal entry that day, so I'm just going to share that here – I think it gets my enthusiasm for the day across!
I am incredibly happy; it has been a very good day. The other interns took advantage of our day off to hike some beautiful areas and see a waterfall while I choose to stay at the ATA and help Jill Tarter and Gerry Harp. It was a great chance and experience to get more one-on-one interaction with two astounding people and hear their stories. There was also a science camp group, with grade levels from 4th to 12th grade, that came by for a couple hours that we talked to and showed around the Array. I really, really enjoy bringing the things I love and find fascinating in the sciences to people and kids, getting them thinking and excited and curious. Gerry even let me help do many of the explanation for the array and we did several demonstrations of how the telescope worked and why. Since many of the kids were pretty young, explaining some of this stuff, including the electromagnetic spectrum and how we pick up various wavelengths, was tricky, but Gerry used a genius idea. Getting the kids to do high, long-period jumps, then fast, quick jumps he was able to draw a great parallel for the kids to grasp the idea of the same thing having different wavelengths and how that influenced frequency and energy. Being able to have something to see and do to extend to something the kids couldn't see really helped in explaining the inner workings of the antennas. Some of the kids had various learning disabilities and some were super smart: one of the later quipped up saying that if we transmit the signal from one telescope to the control center that it would mess up any antennas in the way. Darn kid was like 11 years old! So we said "Yeah! So how would you get around that?" and he answered with "cables, maybe underground," which was exactly right! I was very impressed and excited with that. We had split the 35 or so students into two groups and while the second group went out and got Jill and Gerry to explain the array to them, I talked with the first group that was inside recovering from the heat. I got to talk about all sorts of things related to the telescope, SETI, planetary science, and robotics, and a few of the kids were into it enough to not care about being tired. One of the questions I asked them was if they knew what the most volcanically active body in the solar system was, and the kid who got it was one who had aspergers and ADD both. The fact that we were able to reach, interact and teach such a spectrum of children and ages was incredibly rewarding, and I truly hope that one or two of them walks away with something that they will remember, think of with fascination, and start asking questions about. The fact that such a program is in danger of ending due to lack of funding horrifies me – it is these sorts of camps more than school, that teaches kids the breadth and depth of the world around us, teaches them how to start building and asking questions. It is an environment that is incredibly difficult to duplicate in classrooms because of lack of access to these very facilities and people, particularly when tests and classroom teaching requirements must be met instead of being able to push this learning and exploration. I loved this day, and while I definitely want to contribute to wealth of knowledge the human race is continually building, this just reasserted that I also want to share that passion and encourage that.
After that, we drove back Saturday, then I drove three hours further to spend some time with family for Sunday. Before I knew it, it was Monday and a VERY full week was hitting me at full blast!
At the ATA!!

The coverage of the effort to reform the country's massively inefficient and outdated immigration system has usually focused on where the controversy has been thus far: Republican supporters of comprehensive immigration reform vs. the Republicans in opposition to this particular legislative effort. But the coverage in recent days has shifted, reminding us that Democrats are part of the process too, and not simply along for the ride.
It's easy to forget that, because the general assumption has been that since Democrats support immigration reform they'll sign on to virtually any bill crafted by a bipartisan working group, confident that at least their most pressing concerns and priorities are addressed. It isn't unlike the ease with which Democrats can usually get Republicans to support a robust projection of American power when there are national security threats to be addressed. But two stories from the Washington Examiner's David Drucker and one from Politico illustrate the challenge of massive reform bills crafted by two ideologically distinct parties.
The issues concern a House immigration compromise being written in parallel to the Senate version. The Politico article contained two relevant pieces of information, the first of which was that Republicans want the bill to explicitly outlaw publicly funded medical care being available to illegal immigrants who would be granted a path to citizenship but haven't yet completed that path:
House Democratic leaders are uneasy with the idea of blocking undocumented immigrants from accessing publicly-subsidized care – such as health coverage if they have to be treated in an emergency room. That could have the effect of deporting the immigrants if they can't afford those expenses, Democrats worry.
Republicans, however, are insisting that no public dollars – from federal to the local level – will fund the tab for health coverage for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. Negotiators are looking at an end-of-the-week deadline to smooth out the differences on health care between the two sides.
Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi responded today that current law is sufficient, especially with regard to ObamaCare–which is where the GOP is worried most about the cost to taxpayers. (Politico quotes GOP Representative Raul Labrador saying that "What might be the story at the end of this year, at the end of this session, is that Obamacare killed immigration reform.") It would be yet another unintended consequence of that terrible bill if it derailed immigration reform as well. The other nugget from Politico is a seemingly irreconcilable difference over guest worker visas.
And what is that guest-worker impasse? Drucker explains:
The White House, meanwhile, has been quietly pushing back against Republican attempts to increase the number of visas granted to low-skilled guest workers, who would be allowed into the U.S. under the immigration overhaul. Republican sources charge that the White House is acting on behalf of organized labor.
Republicans want more immigration, in other words, but–as Politico also pointed out–the unions don't, and therefore neither does President Obama. This will sound familiar to those who have followed the immigration reform process for the better part of the last decade, during which Obama derailed immigration reform twice, once as a senator and once again during his first term as president. Although Obama says this time he really does want immigration reform, skeptics have history on their side and have been waiting for Obama to find and exploit the weak points of the bipartisan bill.
This morning, Drucker reported that the two sides are looking at abandoning the bipartisan House talks after tomorrow if no deal is reached, and speculated as to what the reform process would be left with if that happens:
Labrador also said that Democrats are "sadly mistaken" if they assume that killing a bipartisan House bill would force the chamber to take up the Senate version, which many House Republicans believe is flawed. Actually, the Idahoan said, sinking the House bipartisan effort would ensure that the House moves forward on legislation that is influenced primarily by conservatives and even tougher than what the chamber's working group has developed thus far.
If that's how both sides are actually approaching this, then the Democrats are being more realistic than Labrador is. Between the White House's newly expressed skittishness and the conservative distaste for pushing any bureaucracy-expanding, comprehensive reform legislation, there is simply no way Democrats would sign on to a deal far to the right of where Labrador is now.
The Senate bill is likely to be somewhere in between where House Democrats are and where House Republicans are. As such, it's a more logical compromise to fall back on. If Labrador pushes a bill radically different from the current compromise it won't matter if it can pass the House, because it can't pass the Senate. The virtue of the Senate bill is that it has been crafted with the need to pass the House in mind. That doesn't automatically make it great legislation, but it will make it thus far the only piece of legislation to emerge with a fighting chance of becoming law.
