This article was submitted by Ron Hiram of Wise Analysis using our Trefis Contributors tool.
This is an update to a prior article dated January 24, 2012, in which I reviewed the distributable cash flows generated by Williams Partners, L.P. (WPZ). Since then results for 4Q11 and full year 2011 have been published, a ~$505 million public offering of 8.05 million units at $62.81 per unit was completed (on January 25), a further 7.5 million of units valued at $465 million were issued, plus $325 million in cash was paid, in connection with the February 17, 2012, Delphi Midstream Partners acquisition, WPZ filed a registration statement with the SEC on March 5, 2012, to sell yet another 7.5 million units, and management provided its outlook for 2012. The unit price has declined from $64.84 to $60.53. WPZ now yields 5.04% (vs. the 5.6% median for large capitalization pipeline master limited partnerships.
The definition of DCF used by WPZ is described in an article titled Distributable Cash Flow ("DCF"). That article also provides, for comparison purposes, definitions used by other master limited partnerships. Using WPZ's definition, DCF for the 12 month period ending 12/31/11 was $1,650 million ($5.68 per unit), up from $1,164 million in 2010 ($5.45 per unit).

The generic reasons why DCF as reported by the MLP may differ from sustainable DCF are reviewed in an article titled Estimating Sustainable DCF-Why and How. Applying the method described there to WPZ results through December 31, 2011 generates the comparison outlined in the table below:
There do not seem to be material differences between reported DCF and sustainable DCF for the 12 months ended 12/31/11. For the prior year period, the $16 million item represents a net loss attributable to joint ventures which is added back to reported DCF but which, in order to be conservative for purposes of calculating sustainable DCF, I treat as a cash loss and therefore do not add back. The $204 million item in the prior year period relates to cash generated by assets prior to their purchase by the MLP. Since these assets did not belong to WPZ at the time, the cash they generated was deducted in deriving reported DCF. I have no problem with excluding the $204 million from sustainable DCF in the prior year period; consequently, the impact on coverage ratios would be as indicated in the table below:
Distributions actually made averaged approximately $0.725 per unit for the 12 months ended 12/31/11, so the $0.7625 distribution declared for 1Q12 (~6% higher) should not significantly reduce the strong coverage ratios. WPZ's results should give comfort to investors regarding distribution sustainability.
I find it helpful to look at a simplified cash flow statement by netting certain items (e.g., acquisitions against dispositions) and by separating cash generation from cash consumption.
Here is what I see for WPZ:
In both 2011 and 2010, net cash from operations, less maintenance capital expenditures, less net income from non-controlling interests, more than covered distributions. The excess was $628 million for 2011 and $703 million in 2010. These excess amounts help fund expansion projects (acquisitions & investments), reducing the reliance on issuance of additional debt and equity.
Having said that, WPZ reported $991 million of capital expenditures in 2011, of which $414 million was for maintenance, but plans on spending ~$2,900 million in 2012, of which $480 million will be for maintenance. Whether acquisitions may add to these totals is not clear. A large acquisition could dwarf these numbers. Recall that Williams Companies, Inc. (WMB), which holds ~ 73% of WPZ limited partnership interests and the 2% general partner interest, bid ~$5.5 billion for Southern Union Gas (SUG) and presumably would have dropped a significant portion of the assets into WPZ had it been successful in bidding against Energy Transfer Equity, Inc. (ETE), the general partner of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (ETP).
WPZ announcements so far in 2012 will increase the number of its outstanding units by ~8% vs. the 2011 year-end number. If further unit issuances are required (in addition to debt financings) to meet the 2012 capital expenditure targets, this could put additional pressure on the per unit price. Given past performance and management's announced expectation of increasing quarterly limited partner cash distributions by ~6% to ~10% annually, buying on pullbacks such as the one that recently occurred may make sense despite the fact that WPZ is trading near its historical highs.

A Girl for Us
Oh joy. Is it too easy to say now after the ultrasound that I knew it? I knew it. Ask anyone. For the most part I am 7 for 7 in guessing the gender, though was admittedly if-y with our Joseph. Though he was such a beautiful baby boy, that I feel like just as many points were earned for being not so sure. Most importantly of course, she looks just fine and healthy. She also looks SO much like our Eleni did on ulstrasound. Wiggley too, knowing she was getting poked and played with.
And on an entirely selfish and indulgent note, I simply cannot wait to start sewing and knitting and embroidering and crocheting. It has been 9 years since we had a baby girl in this house and I have never had the chance at so much fabric and such with a new girl. I'm in heaven and so thankful!
Now I have a pink strawberry cake to frost.
have a gorgeous weekend, xoAM

I feel like I might know a bit of the joy and blessing you are experiencing... We just had our 2nd daughter (our 4th baby) at the end of December.

Peters Named TD Ameritrade Fans Choice Award Finalist

Peters recently finished his senior season at Nebraska, helping the Huskers to 121 wins during his four-year career and a pair of postseason appearances, as he played in 173 games, including 152 starts. He ended his career tied with fellow senior Kash Kalkowski for third all-time at Nebraska in HBP with 47 each. Peters was Nebraska's Big Ten Sportsmanship honoree for the 2013 baseball season.
The second-annual award recognizes college baseball players who excel beyond the diamond and whose leadership inspires others. Peters is one of 15 finalists who demonstrate integrity in all aspects of life, stay active in their community and are dedicated in the classroom. The winner will be determined by fans through Facebook voting and will be honored at the 2013 TD Ameritrade College Home Run Derby.
The 15 finalists who embody the characteristics of the TD Ameritrade Fan's Choice Award are: BLAKE BEEMER (Ball State); JOHN BORMANN (University of Texas at San Antonio); BOOMER COLLINS (Dallas Baptist); LB DANTZLER (South Carolina); MICHAEL FELTON (Campbell); BRIAN HAGGETT (Cal State Monterey Bay); ALEX MENDEZ (South Florida); ANDY PEREZ (Duke); BRYAN PETERS (Nebraska); DOMINIC PORRETTA (Otterbein); RAPH RHYMES (Louisiana State); JOHN SHERIDAN (Brown); JOHN STRAKA (North Dakota State); BRANDON THOMAS (Georgia Tech); GREG ZEBRACK (Southern California).
Davidson College's Drew Gadaire won The 2012 Fan's Choice Award. A senior co-captain who batted .328, Gadaire had an on-base percentage of more than .400. Off the field, the senior spent time in Fez, Morocco, as a recipient of the Dean Rusk Language Grant, where he studied Arabic with a native Moroccan tutor and volunteered at a local shelter for underprivileged boys. Gadaire majored in Psychology and was a member of Davidson's Student-Athlete Advisory Council.

Rum Review: Santiago de Cuba Ron Carta Blanca
Posted by Arctic Wolf on July 15, 2010
Pictured to the left is a bottle of Santiago de Cuba Ron Carta Blanca, an authentic Cuban rum which was provided for me to sample by a good friend, who just returned from the Caribbean. He asked me to take the bottle home with me, try as much as I needed to and place the review on my Blog. (Some of my friends think it is really cool to see the rums they love reviewed on my blog. whereas, I think it is really cool to have friends who think like that.)
I have very little information on the rum, other than what I can decipher from the label and the smattering of information on the internet where it is sold by some internet dealers as a standard Cuban white rum.
Here is an excerpt from the review:
"…The caramel flavour of the rum is soft, and I also taste light minty candy flavours. Flashes of vanilla present themselves, but I catch no nutty flavours at all. Some Banana peel and citrus elements appear, but they are mellowed rather than too sharp…."

Governor Jack Markell issued a statement in response to questions raised by the Connecticut school shooting.
Governor Jack Markell issued a statement in response to questions raised by the Connecticut school shooting.
"As the father of two, I, like so many others around the country, have spent the last few days thinking about the issues that this awful incident raises. In homes, in businesses and in government, we are having conversations about what this means and what we need to do. What is clear is that we have a culture of violence in this country, coupled with ready access to guns, and we continue as a society to fail adolescents struggling with mental illness. That reality is deeply concerning to me, as I know it is to others. I see three areas of discussion taking place:
Mental Health
"When skilled mental health professionals are present in the schools, they provide the best possible opportunity we have to identify young people who are in need of services and to connect those young people and their families with appropriate services. We must work to remove more of the stigma associated with mental illness and recognize it for the disease that it is. Access to treatment is critical, and my administration is preparing plans to expand that access, especially for children and teens."
School Safety
"This year we created a new statewide protocol for comprehensive school safety plans in every public school. Schools are now in the process, working with the Department of Safety and Homeland Security and with local emergency responders, of creating those plans. To date, 30 schools have completed these plans and we have funded creation of school safety plans for the next 50 schools. We need to make sure that we complete the effort to have comprehensive school safety plans completed for all schools. And it is important to recognize – and this is already inherent in the plans that are being created -- that teachers and school officials are going to be the true first responders in an incident like this."
Gun Laws
"In 2011, I proposed, and the General Assembly passed bills designed to strengthen enforcement around existing gun laws, including legislation to make sure Delaware does its part to keep those with disqualifying mental illnesses from obtaining guns. I am on the record as supporting a ban on assault weapons with large magazines. As we move forward, I think and hope there are measures that reasonable gun owners can agree with -- and in fact have started to voice support for in the last few days."
"As we talk about access to mental health, and school safety, and access to guns, we also need to talk about family and social responsibility. Too many kids are spending countless hours on video games and television shows and movies that glorify violence and treat human life as cheap and dispensable. As parents, we need to exercise judgment. As a society, we need to provide young people with other opportunities that will teach them to value themselves rather than devalue others. "
"These are the areas we need to discuss as a state – and in which we need to do a better a job for our citizens and our kids."

A well-known venue right outside of the Camdenton city limits on Business Route 5 recently received new ownership.
A well-known venue right outside of the Camdenton city limits on Business Route 5 recently received new ownership. The Stone Ridge Amphitheater was put up to auction and went to the highest bidder, business partners from Colorado.
Bill Carle and Robert Mein came across the property online. After making a few trips down to see it, they were sold.
Carle and his family has been in the tourism business for years. He was intrigued by the property when he found out it was located right outside of Camdenton. He had heard of the town since he was young. He remembers being at the family business and watching trucks pull up with 'Blair's Cedar' on the side. Since Blair's is from Camdenton, he felt like he already had a connection to the area.
The partners found out about the property about 50 days ago and just closed on the land Saturday, May 4.
"We are just coming into it," Carle said. "We are excited. It's an amazing facility."
Carle and Mein have ran a similar business before and plan on hosting outdoor movies and bands.
They also plan on eventually moving their families to the area.
"We have a life shift to make," Carle said.
"It's in great condition, now it just needs programming," he said of the facility.
The facility was most recently known as the Lake of the Ozarks Amphitheater and has hosted famous musicians as well as the annual Crossover Christian Music Festival. The capacity is almost 20,000 visitors and sits on 72 acres.
The amphitheater will most likely not be open for this coming tourist season, but will be in the near future. For updates on the amphitheater's progress, keep logging on to lakenewsonline.com.

The value of the fund and the income from it can go down as well as up so you may get back less than you invested. If your fund invests in overseas markets, changes in currency exchange rates may affect the value of your investment. If your fund invests in small and emerging markets, these can be more volatile than other more developed markets. Past performance is not a guide to future returns.
For funds that invest in bonds, please be aware that the price of bonds is influenced by movements in interest rates, changes in the credit rating of bond issuers, and other factors such as inflation and market dynamics. In general, as interest rates rise the price of a bond will fall. The risk of default is based on the issuer's ability to make interest payments and to repay the loan at maturity. Default risk may therefore vary between different government issuers as well as between different corporate issuers.
Some of the performance and risk data presented may start before the share class was launched. If so, the data prior to the launch date of the share class is based on the fund or share class that has similar or higher charges, in order to provide an indication of longer term performance and risk. Please refer to the launch date and performance start date in the fund factsheet to determine whether the data has been extended.Past Performance and Risk & Volatility figures are presented in British Pounds Sterling (GBP). Fund returns are calculated on a Nav to Nav or Bid to Bid basis with income reinvested either after tax (for UK-domiciled funds) or gross of tax (for offshore funds). Performance figures include the effect of the OCF/TER. To cover distribution costs a separate service fee is now also charged on most funds, which is not included in the past performance figures. Consequently the past performance of the fund may be less than that shown on the chart due to the effect of the service fee.

(Resource News International) — Canola contracts traded on the ICE Futures Canada platform are starting to trend higher in the charts, despite a correction on Tuesday, with concerns about the dry weather conditions in Alberta and Saskatchewan behind some of the general strength.
Jerry Klassen, manager with GAP Grains in Winnipeg, said the uncertainty about the new crop year, together with tightening nearby supplies, could keep prices supported going forward.
"The market is starting to focus on the dryness concerns in Western Canada," said Klassen. "The farmers are starting to conserve stocks, because they see the adverse conditions heading into spring."
Klassen said farmers are getting more bullish on the market, and are holding onto their old-crop supplies as a result.
"The lack of selling from the farmer will give the market some breathing room to incorporate a risk premium due to the uncertainty of production," said Klassen adding that "the market will be very sensitive to growing conditions in North America over the next 30 to 60 days."
In addition to the lack of selling pressure and the new crop uncertainty, canola also remains well supported by a strong domestic crush pace and steady export movement, Klassen said.
Supply/demand tables for canola were starting to look a little tighter than the trade was initially forecasting, which should keep old-crop futures prices supported, he said.
Expectations for a tight U.S. soybean carryout should also be supportive for canola, according to Klassen. South American harvest pressure would also be easing off soon, which would be another supportive price influence, he added.
Aside from the direct supply/demand fundamentals for canola, outside market forces, such as crude oil prices, could also provide some direction for the market going forward, he said.

East Kingston planning board member charged after drug bust near school
By JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
Couple facing drug charges blaming man's teenage son for marijuana plants
EAST KINGSTON – A newly appointed planning board member was arrested Wednesday night on drug charges after authorities seized several marijuana plants and drug paraphernalia from his residence near East Kingston Elementary School, police said.
Ikie Davis, 33, of 20 Andrews Lane, East Kingston, was nabbed after police said they executed a search warrant and discovered an indoor growing operation.
Davis is charged with manufacturing a controlled drug, possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute and endangering the welfare of a child.
Charges could be enhanced because the residence is located less than 300 feet from the elementary school.
Police said more arrests are expected.
Bail was set at $15,000 cash. Police said Davis is being held on a probation detainer for an unrelated crime.
According to town officials, selectmen appointed Davis to the planning board on April 1 and he attended his first meeting on April 18. He had not served on the board prior to his new appointment.
Davis was appointed based on a recommendation from the planning board.
East Kingston police were assisted Wednesday by Kensington, Newton, and South Hampton police as well as a canine from the New Hampshire State Police.

Tax-abessic: Losing lakefront land
August 19. 2013 7:46PM
For more than a century, the people of Manchester and surrounding towns have enjoyed hiking, biking, walking and fishing on some of the 7,200 acres of public land surrounding Lake Massabesic. That access is in jeopardy as Manchester Water Works, owner of the land, has put it up for sale. The culprit, as in so many sales of large tracts of New Hampshire land, is property taxation. The desire for municipal revenue could put an end to the public's enjoyment of this unique public asset.
Though the land is owned by a division of the city of Manchester, the acres stretch well into Auburn, Candia, Chester and Hooksett. Manchester Water Works must pay property taxes to those towns. The land is assessed at full value despite the fact that it is maintained as public recreational land. Manchester Water Works has tried to have the land assessed at the lower conservation-land rate. When that effort failed, it tried to have legislators change the tax law. It even went to court to reduce its tax bill, now at $670,000 a year. It could find no relief.
So now it is putting the land up for sale. That is concerning not only because Water Works has been such a great steward of the land, but also because Lake Massabesic is the city of Manchester's water supply. Water Works owns the land to ensure the water supply is protected. Though any sale would come with land-use restrictions, there is no guarantee a future owner would be as careful about watershed protection as Water Works has been.
New Hampshire has some good tax laws written specifically to prevent this type of situation. It is frustrating that Water Works has been unable to use them to reduce its tax bill. While Water Works is reviewing bids, Manchester officials should be talking to the taxing towns, and the city's legislative delegation should be searching for remedies. The city should not have to lose such great stewardship of such an important tract of public land because of a tax code that was meant to apply to private property.

T.O. Leaves a Legacy, Takes on Next Challenge
Randy York's N-Sider
We knew this day was coming, and Thursday, June 27, 2013, is historic – Tom Osborne's last official day with the Nebraska Athletic Department. The Hall-of-Fame coach, three-term Congressman and NU athletic director for more than five years is moving on to his next challenge – finding and training 3,500 new mentors for TeamMates, the program that he and wife Nancy co-founded and launched in 1991. The N-Sider asked T.O. to reflect on the past and share his vision of the future. Please feel free to join our conversation:
Q-1: Is this really your last week on the 4th-floor as Athletic Director Emeritus?
A: I'm not really good at sitting and just occupying space. I had some things to do these last six months, and that transition went very well, but it's over and done with. I wanted to help on our research space in the East Stadium, but the physical space is pretty much on auto pilot. It will be completed on time. We hired Judy Burnfield as executive director for the National Performance Lab. I have great confidence in her. Doak Ostergard will be one of her right-hand people who helps coordinate the athletic research lab with the Athletic Department and also with Dennis Molfese in the Brain, Biology and Behavior (B3) Lab. He's also very good at what he's doing. We've come very close to getting all of the financing we need, so that's also in good shape. All of our other priorities – the new basketball arena, the East Stadium expansion and the Devaney Center renovation – are on target. They're all pretty much out of my hands at this point and all doing well, so the best thing I can do right now for Athletics is to step aside and get out of the way. I don't want to be perceived as somebody hanging around beyond his time.
Q-2: There's a light on here whenever you want to come back and use your office, but aren't you pursuing one of the most important goals of your life?
A: The area I can focus on and make the biggest contribution right now is TeamMates. We're trying to grow from approximately 6,500 matches to 10,000 matches (mentors for kids). Our goal is to reach that number in three years, so it's going to take a lot of effort to recruit mentors and raise funds to run the program. The average cost is $450 per match. It's going to require nearly $5 million a year, and that's each and every year, so it's going to take some doing.
Q-3: When is your last day in the Athletic Department?
A: I'm committed officially until the end of June, but am taking some vacation time, so Thursday morning will be my last time in the office here.
Q-4: As you take on your next challenge, where will your office be located?
A: TeamMates has an office in Union Bank on East "O" Street, so that's where I'll be.
Q-5: What's the best advice you can give to the student-athletes at Nebraska?
A: Athletics is a complex endeavor now. There's the demand to win and there's a financial demand. At the core of it all is turning people out of here who are much better for the experience and are well prepared to be productive citizens with certain values that are important to society. It takes time and effort to accomplish that, but as long as I've been around here, the focus has always been on the student-athlete, the academics, the coaches, the health, the life skills and all of those things, so I would assume that will continue to be the focus. You never want the athletic department to be an embarrassment or an albatross to the university as a whole. I think, for the most part, that athletics has carried its own weight over the years, and we expect that it will continue to do that.
Q-6: What's your greatest example of Nebraska Athletics pride?
A: The student-athlete part of the experience. I don't know if we're doing better than everyone in the country, but I think we've certainly done well meeting the needs of the student-athletes who have come here, and we're doing it at least as well as the very best.
Q-7: What about Bob Devaney hiring you and choosing you to succeed him?
A: I wasn't here before Bob came here, but we arrived on the campus within a matter of a couple of weeks of each other. I played a very, very minor role at the time he arrived. I was a grad assistant to begin with, but what Bob contributed most was a mindset. He always thought he could and should win, and his staff thought they could win, too. I think the previous mindset was more along the lines of "We might win occasionally, but we're not expected to win". That's what Bob brought, and we were fortunate that there were some really good players here when he came. Bob changed the culture of the football team, and, of course, as the football team grew and became more successful, we added seats in the stadium and attendance grew. That made it possible to do a lot more for all the other sports here. Women's sports started to take off in the late '60s and early '70s because Bob was always very open to seeing the women's sports and the Olympic sports do well. His support of our women's programs is a part of his legacy that probably doesn't get the attention it deserves.
Q-8: If Bob's mindset was expecting to win, what was yours?
A: We had an emphasis on fundamentals, and we also had an identity. I think every successful organization has an identity. Ours was probably built on physical and mental toughness. It was the way we practiced for every game. The idea was that every game is a test of wills. When you watch games in the first quarter, it's hard to tell what team is going to prevail. As the game progresses, eventually one team will begin to assert itself more and more. By the fourth quarter, one team or the other is basically superior. We tried to play each game hard in such a way in the first three quarters that we would prevail in the fourth. Our receivers blocked on every play. Our quarterback didn't slide and didn't run out of bounds. The quarterback was a football player just like every other guy on the field, and that was our identity. Our players understood it. Our coaches understood it, and our fans observed it. Some understood it more than others.
Q-9: Isn't our fans' undying loyalty part of Nebraska football's identity?
A: We only have 1.8 million people in this state. Every other state in the Big Ten has a much larger population base, and that was also a fact when we were in the Big 12. For us to be competitive, we need the devotion and the energy of our fan base. Of course, that support enabled us to do what we've done with our facilities. If we didn't have that support, it wouldn't have happened. The State Legislature, the Board of Regents and our Administration see us as an organization that is good enough to stand on its own. So we rely on that fan base every year to exist and to be competitive. There's no question that the support we have is partly the result of the long-term success we've had. We haven't been perfect. We've had our ups and downs, but over the years, we've gone the longest period without losing teams or teams with a .500 record.
Q-10: Do you plan to continue to come and watch Husker events?
A: I will try to come to as many games and events as I can. I'll continue to come to the football games and plan to see as many basketball and baseball games as I can. Plus, I want to see some of our other sports whenever possible.
Q-11: What's your take on personally hiring Bo Pelini, Tim Miles and Darin Erstad?
A: Bo's averaged nearly 10 wins a year now for five years, and not very many people have done that. He has a good squad coming back, and the schedule is a little more favorable than it's been. His teams probably had the toughest conference schedules you could have in those first two years. So I think they're in pretty good shape going forward. Everything I've seen of Tim Miles is very encouraging. He obviously has great energy, and he knows what he wants to do. He's a very good recruiter. He has great organizational skills and, of course, relates well with the public. He really works hard at everything, and I appreciate everything he's done. Darin had a very difficult schedule and lost a pitcher to injury early, and that cost him in some of those early games. If they could have won two or three of those early games, it would have made a big difference. If you look at the way they played Indiana in the final games of the Big Ten Tournament – and Indiana was a legitimate College World Series team – I think it showed that in just two years, we're not very far off. I think Darin and his staff are doing a great job.
Q-12: How do you view our programs that have won a conference title?
A: Most all of our sports are doing quite well and seem to be positioned to be potential Big Ten champions with a break here or there. John Cook has already won a Big Ten title and will probably compete for one just about every year. Gary Pepin has won a Big Ten championship in the women's indoor and in the men's outdoor, and his teams have always been consistent threats to win conference championships. Dan Kendig has won two Big Ten championships in women's gymnastics. Rhonda Revelle's team made the Women's Softball College World Series this year, and she's obviously done great things over a long period of time. The women's tennis program under Scott Jacobson won the Big Ten Championship this year. Connie Yori's women's basketball team finished second in the Big Ten and I think returns four starters from a team that made the Sweet 16. Stacy Underwood has done a good job helping our rifle team compete at the national level. Mark Manning has done some great things with our wrestling program, and I think moving to the renovated Devaney Center will help his recruiting. Championships aren't the only measures of progress. Our women's swimming and diving program, for instance, isn't at a championship level, but they are making progress. I think all of our sports eventually will have the facilities to recruit at a high level, and I think we'll do very well in many sports and hold our own in others. Our women's bowling doesn't compete in the Big Ten, but it did beat Vanderbilt for the NCAA Championship this year.
Q-13: Harvey Perlman and you helped Nebraska land in the Big Ten Conference. Can we revisit that decision and put it into context?
A: The situation we were in with the Big 12 was somewhat untenable. We had several schools openly talking about leaving and reading between the lines, there may have been an agreement between those schools and another major conference. They hit a stumbling block and it fell apart, but we didn't know it was going to fall apart.
Q-14: What became the bottom line that made that decision so easy to make?
A: The Big Ten represented stability and academic excellence, so I don't think there was a whole lot of choice concerning the option to go to the Big Ten. We weren't going to stand around and watch a conference disappear with nowhere to go. I'm not sure all of our fans appreciated how important academics was in that decision, even though the decision also was predicated on a certain level of athletic accomplishment over the years as well. The move was made. I think it is a good fit, and I think we'll know more as time moves forward.
Q-15: You see members of the Legends Poll as a good fit for the format that will replace the BCS in 2014. Do you have any interest in serving in that capacity?
A: I've had some casual conversations with people, but nothing formal.
Q-16: Lincoln is in a renaissance period with all kinds of construction and cranes filling the skyline. How would you describe what you're seeing?
A: There's a very healthy dynamic in Lincoln right now. Lincoln has a great group of young leaders who are very progressive. I see good things happening here. I think Innovation Campus, the new arena and the whole Haymarket Area will be keys to growth. The schools are good and unemployment is relatively low. The future looks bright, and I think the University of Nebraska Athletics is a significant part of that.
Q-17: As you move on, will you fish and hunt more than you already do?
A: I will certainly have more flexibility with my time; I don't know if I'll fish a lot more than I do now, but at least I'll have the opportunity. I'll probably put in 40 hours or more each week to do what we need to do with TeamMates. That will be a high priority.
Q-18: How do you view Shawn Eichorst succeeding you as AD?
A: He's thoughtful, he's organized, and he has plans for the Athletic Department. He's not driven by ego and uses those around him well. He wants to get the job done, and he'll do fine here.
Q-19: Shawn wants you around. Are you going to have any time to share?
A: I'll probably drop in occasionally if Judy (Burnfield) or Doak (Ostergard) or whoever else might want my opinion. But to stay within NCAA rules, since I'll no longer be an employee of the Athletic Department, I don't know what I can do and what I can't. I just know that I'll help anybody and do whatever I can, if needed.
Q-20: Last question. Will you finally find the time to clean out the garage for Nancy?
A: (genuine laughter here) I think that still might be an issue.

A trial for Desta's husband, Jody Byrd, is set for October. Investigators didn't charge him until May 2011, 12 years after he called 911 to say he had found her dead in the driveway of their Brierfield home.
"We can never have closure, because we can never bring her back," Vonciel Dodson said. "It will give us some comfort, after all these years of not knowing anything."
Someone shot Dodson-Byrd, 29, with a shotgun at her home in eastern Bibb County on
Feb. 25, 1999.
Investigators with the Alabama Bureau of Investigations, the Bibb County Sheriff's Office and the Bibb County district attorney's office began to review the case a few years ago when they were approached by friends of Dodson-Byrd, who formed a group called "Justice For Desta." The group was fueled mainly by Dodson-Byrd's friend, Christine Shattuck, and her friend, Ann Coyle, who refused to let the case grow cold.
A new wave of attention was focused on the case in 2011, when the group had billboards placed in Jefferson County that showed a photograph of the striking young woman and the message "Because no one should get away with murder."
The investigators presented evidence to a grand jury, which issued an indictment charging that Byrd killed his wife to collect proceeds from an insurance policy. Byrd is charged with capital murder and is free on $750,000 bond.
The Dodsons credit Desta's friends for keeping her memory alive and pushing for authorities to take another look at the investigation.
"That just shows the impact that she had on her friends," Ronnie Dodson said. "People will tell us that if they ever felt bad, they would talk to her and she would be so encouraging. She always had a big smile and was so big-hearted. She was beautiful inside and out."
Dodson-Byrd had been saving her money to buy a Corvette. She was a fan of the rock band Def Leppard, and can be seen in the front row in concert footage featured in two of their videos. She was an animal lover who volunteered at the Humane Society.
Dodson-Byrd was close with her family, her mother said, and even worked in the Social Security Administration office in Birmingham alongside her mother and aunts. She had dreams of becoming a fashion designer, her father said.
"She was killed at such a young age. She never got to realize her dreams," he said.
The Dodsons said that they occasionally look through boxes containing items they collected as Desta grew up. She wasn't the type to give a card with just a signature.
"She would write a long, thoughtful note," Vonciel Dodson said. "She was always writing us notes. It's amazing to be able to go through these things, but it's heartbreaking."
Byrd's capital murder trial is scheduled to take place in Bibb County on Oct. 28. Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey was appointed to prosecute the case last year because the Bibb County district attorney has a full case load.

Savannah Divorce Help Georgia 31418
If you're going through a divorce, one of your primary concerns must be how to keep your financial health secured. If that's the case, you need some sound divorce help for men that can help you prepare for the inevitable and help you secure your assets in the best way you possibly can.
Going through a divorce can be an emotional and a financial drain at the same time. And with about 50% of all marriages ending up in a divorce court, it's best to prepare for it while you still have the time.
So, how can you best secure your finances when you're about to go through a divorce? Here are 5 practical suggestions that can help save you from a possible financial disaster ahead:
Understand your real financial situation. If you still haven't done so, now is the best time to gather all the information regarding your finances. Don't underestimate this one or you'll probably regret it for the rest of your life.
Make sure that you have copies of every important document pertaining to your finances – copies of your tax returns (complete with all the attachments), bank account and investment account statements, 401 (k) statements and pension plan statements will come in handy when it's time to divide your conjugal properties in court.
Your insurance coverage, money market accounts, university plan statements, funding arrangements, in addition to duplicates of your expenses and also credit card statements, property evaluations for such things as precious jewelry and artwork, as well as your better half's service documents also should be examined throughout the separation process.
Remember- the more details you can provide, the much better points will be. It will make your attorney's work simpler as well as it will most certainly enhance your possibilities of safeguarding most of your properties.
Cancel joint credit cards. You all know the saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned", right? Some women may just deliberately incur unbelievably huge debts to spite their husbands for filing a divorce. So, if you still have joint credit cards, the best thing you can do is to cancel it right now, and opt for separate credit cards instead.
Be more in control of your paychecks. If you're going through a divorce, consider opening a separate bank account for your paychecks. It's not unusual for the spouse to grab the last paycheck prior to the filing of the divorce papers, you know.
Check your insurance policies. What kinds of insurance you and your family have? Take the time to sort it out for you will need it in the near future.
Seek for expert advice. If you're filing for a divorce and preparing your tax returns at the same time, don't hesitate to ask for expert advice. You may need to know all of the changes that need to be made, and whether you will be able to enjoy additional tax savings or facing liability should the returns be found deficient. Ask your accountant or a professional financial adviser to enlighten you on these things.Separation And Divorce | Child Visitation

Before Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton passes the reins to her successor, she's got a few loose ends to tie up. One of them is mapping out the U.S.'s continuing efforts to combat AIDS around the world.
So today she unveiled a "blueprint" for what she called an "AIDS-free generation."
Now Clinton isn't talking about ending the HIV pandemic altogether. Rather, she hopes to prevent most new infections from occurring in the first place and to stop HIV-positive people from developing AIDS.
"As we continue to drive down the number of new infections and drive up the number of people on treatment, we will get ahead of the pandemic and an AIDS-free generation will be in sight," she told an audience of AIDS advocates and government officials at the state department.
Just last week UNAIDS said that over the past decade the rate of new HIV infections has dropped by more than half in 25 low- and middle- income countries, most of them in sub-Saharan Africa. And, the U.S. has helped to get 5.1 million people on antiretroviral treatment over the past four years.
Yet despite this encouraging news, some public health leaders are skeptical that an AIDS-free generation is a realistic goal right now.
"We are still a very long way from that," Dr. Helen Rees, an HIV specialist at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, tells Shots. "It's still at this point aspirational, and it's good to have aspirations."
The goal of stopping new infections became theoretically possible just a year ago when a study showed that antiretroviral treatments dramatically reduce a person's risk of transmitting the virus to others.
But the jury is still out on whether the drugs will have the same effect in the real world, outside of a study, Rees says.
"We certainly know that when you lower people's viral loads through treatment, the chance of their infecting another person is massively reduced," she says, referring to the amount of HIV in the blood. "[But] we don't know if that sort of scenario will occur at the same rate as if we did test-and-treat in the general population."
Clinton's AIDS blueprint hinges heavily on a "treatment as prevention" strategy. Indeed, the President's Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR is spending millions of dollars to see if it will in South Africa, Tanzania and Botswana, health economist Mead Over, of the Center for Global Development, tells Shots.
He says it will take several years to get the results. And that's one reason, he says, that "it's premature to have as an objective achieving an AIDS-free generation."
The tipping point for AIDS, Over says, will be when the number of new infections is lower than the number of people dying from HIV. Once that happens, the total number of HIV positive people would begin to decline.
"That's not the case now," he says. "In fact the gap is widening as we speak."
Over also worries that there aren't enough resources right now to treat enough people to achieve a decline in infection rates by treatment alone.
Indeed, Clinton's blueprint also involves other types of HIV prevention strategies, including male circumcision, condom distribution and stopping transmission from mother to child.
These approaches, in combination with treatment, "drops the number of new infections quite precipitously," the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, Dr. Eric Goosby, tells Shots. "So much so that we have dropped the percentage of new infections over the last 5 to 10 years from 25 to 90 percent in most of sub-Saharan Africa."
So what will all this cost the U.S.?
Secretary Clinton didn't say – nor does her blueprint.
Goosby says those numbers exist, but he couldn't get out ahead of the White House, which writes the budget.
It's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Robert Siegel.
Last year, 1.7 million people around the world died of AIDS. The U.S. government wants to make that number zero. Today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton unveiled what she calls a blueprint for achieving a generation free of AIDS.
But as NPR's Richard Knox reports, the plan leaves a lot of big questions unanswered.
RICHARD KNOX, BYLINE: Hillary Clinton left no doubt that she wants this blueprint to chart the way for whoever succeeds her as secretary of state and for a Congress that has to fund the plan. She stressed how far the world has come in the six years since the United States started pumping tens of billions of dollars into preventing and treating HIV infections through PEPFAR, the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
SECRETARY HILLARY CLINTON: Just listen to these numbers: in Zimbabwe, a 50 percent reduction; in Namibia, a 68 percent reduction; and in Malawi, a 73 percent reduction in the rate of new infections.
KNOX: A year ago, President Obama set a goal of getting six million people treated with antiviral drugs by the end of next year, under the PEPFAR program. Officials say that goal will be met. But now the idea is to get five to 10 million more people on the life-saving medications.
CLINTON: Eventually, we will be able to treat more people than become infected every year. That will be the tipping point. We will then get ahead of the pandemic and an AIDS-free generation will be in our sight.
KNOX: But the secretary didn't say, nor did her blueprint, how much this will cost, nor would the PEPFAR director, Dr. Eric Goosby.
DR. ERIC GOOSBY: The numbers that were put out there were in the who-and-where we need to put those resources. And because this is not a budget document, it did not include any of those budget numbers.
KNOX: Those numbers exist. But Goosby said he couldn't get out ahead of the White House, which writes the budget.
It's important to understand that the blueprint doesn't aim to end the HIV pandemic. Clinton said people will get infected with the virus for many years to come. The goal is to prevent people from getting AIDS. That will happen if people with HIV get antiviral treatment so their infection never progresses to AIDS, and others don't get infected at all.
GOOSBY: You will reach the tipping point. We think that we're looking at a three to five-year period for most of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa who carry a heavy burden of disease - there's 22 of them in particular.
KNOX: Goosby acknowledges that this is not the best time to launch expensive new initiatives. But he thinks the fight against AIDS is special.
GOOSBY: This commitment, I believe, reflects the best of the American people. And I feel that the bipartisan support that is felt for PEPFAR is strong and growing.
KNOX: Still, not all AIDS experts think the time is right.
MEAD OVER: I think it's premature to have as an objective the achievement of an AIDS-free generation.
KNOX: Hat's Mead Over, an economist with the Center For Global Development, who has studied the pandemic for decades. He points out that the $30 billion PEPFAR has spent has not yet driven down HIV infections as fast as it has added to the millions now living with the virus.
OVER: So that's a very depressing observation, which suggests that the advent of all that money did not really succeed in changing the course of new infections.
KNOX: Dr. Helen Rees agrees. She's an AIDS specialist at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, which has the world's biggest HIV caseload.
DR. HELEN REES: As long as the number of new infections exceeds the number of people we're putting onto treatment, then the epidemic continues. So certainly in southern Africa, we have a lot of work to do to approach being able to talk about ending the epidemic.
KNOX: But there's one area she says is nearing the endgame. Within the next three years, she expects the number of babies being born with HIV will be approaching zero.

NEW YORK — The 2014 NFL draft is stacked with talented players, but not every team came out of the first round smelling like roses.
The Cleveland Browns and St. Louis Rams owned the draft with multiple picks, while the Buffalo Bills were among teams that made head-scratching decisions.
The New England Patriots almost made the "winners" list after taking Dominique Easley — a potential steal — at No. 29 overall. If Easley's health checks out after he tore both ACLs in college, he could be the best defensive tackle in the draft.
Here are the winners and losers from the first round of the 2014 NFL draft:
Cleveland Browns: The Browns shimmied up and down the first round and helped their offense and pass defense. They selected Oklahoma State cornerback Justin Gilbert at No. 8 and quarterback Johnny Manziel at No. 22 while also acquiring a future first-round pick.
Manziel falling could give him an even bigger chip on his shoulder, which should only boost his play in the NFL.
St. Louis Rams: The Rams didn't budge from their No. 2 and 13 positions and came away with two of the best players in the draft. Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson was the highest-ranked player in the draft by one AFC scout, and Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald has been compared to Cincinnati Bengals interior pass rusher Geno Atkins.
NFL teams win up front on offense and defense, and the Rams realized that by taking players on both lines.
Dallas Cowboys: Owner Jerry Jones passed on Johnny Manziel, and while the quarterback was a great pick for the Browns, he also wasn't an immediate need for Dallas. The Cowboys instead picked Notre Dame offensive lineman Zack Martin at No. 16, which will help their current quarterback, Tony Romo, stay upright and healthy.
Buffalo Bills: They gave a ton to the Browns to trade up for wide receiver Sammy Watkins at No. 4. He'll help current starting quarterback EJ Manuel, but was he worth giving up a future first-round pick when faced with the deepest wide receiver class in recent memory? Probably not.
The Bills won't have the option of selecting a top quarterback in next year's class if Manuel fails to live up to expectations in 2014.
Miami Dolphins: They drafted purely for need at No. 19 when they reached for Tennessee offensive tackle Ja'Wuan James. They likely wanted to take linebacker Ryan Shazier, but the Pittsburgh Steelers plucked him at No. 15.
James should have success at right tackle, but better players were available for the Dolphins there.
Carolina Panthers: They also drafted for need when they selected Florida State wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin at No. 28. The 6-foot-5, 240-pound receiver is huge, but his 4.60-second 40-yard dash had some teams worried if he has NFL speed.
Benjamin also showed inconsistent hands with the Seminoles and only had one year of production. The Panthers undoubtedly need help at wide receiver, but they could have waited until Round 2 to grab it.

State's chief homicide prosecutor visits Bedford policeBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 27. 2012 2:43PM
BEDFORD - The chief homicide prosecutor in New Hampshire, Jane Young, visited Bedford police today, as the department continues its investigation into the assault against a Manchester anesthesiologist and his wife at their Bedford home Saturday night.
Young and Lt. James Geraghty, commander of the Major Crimes Unit, left the Bedford Police Department about 11 a.m. Tuesday. Young referred questions about the case to Bedford police or Hillsborough County Attorney Dennis Hogan.
'Because this is New Hampshire,' Young said when asked why she was in Bedford.
Police Chief John Bryfonski said he had nothing new to release in the investigation involving the assault against Eduardo and Sonia Quesada. Eduardo, an anesthesiologist, received serious head wounds in a Saturday night assault at his upscale home at 7 Proclamation Court. As of Monday night, he was at Elliot Hospital, although officials at the hospital won't confirm he is there or give any description of his medical condition. His wife, whose injuries were less severe, was undergoing medical treatment Monday.
Bedford police have said the initial call at the home involved a burglary, but they have since said they have not ruled out other explanations for the assault.
The New Hampshire Attorney General, whose office investigates homicides in New Hampshire, does make appearances when police investigate life-threatening assault cases. However, it doesn't take over an investigation unless the victim dies.
Previous story follows:
BEDFORD - Although initial indications were that an anesthesiologist and his wife were injured during a burglary, police are not ruling out other explanations for the Saturday night assault at the home of Eduardo Quesada, a home where a domestic-related arrest took place a year earlier, the town police chief said today.
Quesada and his wife, Sonia Quesada, remained under medical treatment today, one of them with serious head injuries inflicted during what police initially believed was a burglary at their home at 7 Proclamation Court, Police Chief John Bryfonski said this afternoon.
"That (burglary) was the initial indication. We're not ruling in, we're not ruling out, any possibilities," he said. It is dangerous for investigators to do so in any investigation, he said.
Bryfonski confirmed that an arrest was made at the address in November 2011 following a call for a domestic disturbance. He said charges were dismissed and he thinks the arrest was annulled, a process that wipes clean any official record of the arrest. A subsequent Right-to-Know request submitted to Bedford police for records of that arrest and accompanying reports turned up nothing.
Quesada is an anesthesiologist at Amoskeag Anesthesiology, a Manchester-based pratice located on Elliot Way in Manchester.
"We are all very concerned for Dr. Quesada's health and well-being and hope that he makes a full recovery from his injuries. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family," Elliot Hospital said in a release issued early this afternoon. The release said Quesada has worked closely with Elliot staff since 2000.
Meanwhile, police continued to investigate the crime, which resulted in what police described Sunday as massive head injuries to a 52-year-old male who owns the home at 7 Proclamation Court.
Bryfonski characterized the investigation as a "full court press" and said Bedford detectives, New Hampshire State Police and the Hillsborough County Sheriff Department are involved.
He said police have a person of interest in the case, but no one has been identified.
"If I had a name, I would give you a name," he said.
"There is nothing that we have that would suggest any of our residents in Bedford are any less safe than they usually are," Bryfonski said. He said, however, that residents should always be mindful of their surroundings and circumstances and contact police if they see anything suspicious.
Built in 2007, the Quesada house has been listed for sale for $1.4 million and is under contract, according to its listing website with the Bean Group. The site shows a elaborate house with timber-framed walls and cathedral ceilings, a wine cellar, flagstone fireplaces in a den and living room, a master bedroom with a third fireplace and south-facing view. The listing also said the house has a security system.
The 2.7 acre grounds include an inground pool, terraced stonework, granite steps and porch railings separated by flagstone pillars.
The crime scene van of the state police Major Crime Unit was parked in Quesada's driveway this afternoon. Police came in and out of the house wearing protective boot coverings. Others wore full body suits.
"We want to bring all forces to bear on cases that are appropriate to do so," Bryfonski said.
The young child who was in the house at the time of the assault has been turned over to a family member, he said.
Several neighbors told the New Hampshire Union Leader they heard nothing suspicious Saturday night.
With leaves off the trees, the rear of the Quesada house is visible from Spring Hill Road. Tom Tamulevich, who lives on Spring Hill Road, said police took impressions of a tire track from the shoulder of the road, which is a short 250 feet to the Quesada house.
Tamulevich said he let his Jack Russell terrier outside about 10 p.m. on Saturday - the time of the call to the Quesada house. When something is amiss, the dog barks, but it did nothing Saturday night, he said.
He brushed off any fears of home invaders in Bedford, in part because most people in the neighborhood have alarm and security systems.
"Everyone's too much on guard," he said.

International Data Corporation (IDC) has issued new estimates for the worldwide software developer and ICT-skilled worker population.
Heading into 2014, IDC believes there are 18.5 million software developers in the world, of which 11 million are professional software developers and 7.5 million are hobbyist developers.
IDC also believes that there are 29 million ICT-skilled workers in the world, including professional software developers and 18 million operations and management skilled workers.
"IDC's country-by-country analysis of 90 of the most developed countries in the world, representing 97% of the world's GDP," said Al Hilwa, IDC program director for application software development. "While the numbers of both developers and ICT-skilled workers are expected to grow over the next few years, shifts in how IT is being delivered through cloud services will favor the growth in developers over other ICT-skilled workers."
IDC's analysis shows that the United States accounts for 19% of worldwide software developers, both professional and hobbyists, followed by China with 10% and India with 9.8%. The United States also accounts for 22% of worldwide ICT-skilled workers, followed by India with 10.4% and China with 7.6%.
Additionally, the population of hobbyist developers is rapidly changing and the growth of this segment is being boosted by the mobile revolution.
The IDC report is entitled 2014 Worldwide Software Developer and ICT-Skilled Worker Estimates (IDC #244709) represents the first time that IDC has analyzed and estimated the hobbyist developer population, which IDC defines broadly as students or workers who engaged in regular development activity outside of the context of their primary occupation.

Girlfriend in Marriott murder expected to plead guilty
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
Portsmouth woman pleads guilty to hindering murder probe, will testify against boyfriend
BRENTWOOD — The girlfriend of murder suspect Seth Mazzaglia intends to plead guilty to charges that she attempted to thwart the investigation into who killed Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott.
Kathryn "Kat" McDonough, 19, of Portsmouth is expected to change her plea and be sentenced on July 25 in Rockingham County Superior Court as part of a deal struck with state prosecutors.
Terms of the plea bargain have not yet been made public.
The anticipated guilty plea could signal that state prosecutors have turned McDonough into a key witness in the upcoming murder trial of her boyfriend, Seth Mazzaglia, who is charged with killing Marriott at his Dover apartment on Oct. 9.
Mazzaglia, 30, of Dover faces charges of first- and second-degree murder, felonious sexual assault and hindering apprehension in Strafford County.
Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley refused to comment on Marriott's scheduled plea hearing, or what effect it could have on the prosecution of Mazzaglia.
"I don't have a comment on either one of the cases," he said.
Marriott, a University of New Hampshire sophomore, was either strangled or suffocated to death on the night of Oct. 9, according to prosecutors.
Her body has not been found despite widespread searches throughout the region.
Investigators spent months focusing along the Piscataqua River in Portsmouth and the edges of Peirce Island, where Mazzaglia claimed to have dumped Marriott's body.
George Thompson, a lawyer representing the Marriott family, said he was unaware of the plea hearing for McDonough, but that news of it comes as little surprise.
"Our tendency was to believe that she was likely cooperating with authorities," Thompson said.
McDonough pleaded not guilty to charges of witness tampering, hindering apprehension and conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension following her indictment in April.
She remains free on bail. McDonough is accused of lying to police about her whereabouts on the night of the murder, and giving a fictional account of what she and Mazzaglia did on the day Marriott disappeared.
McDonough also faces a charge of felony witness tampering for allegedly encouraging a woman named Roberta Gerkin to tell investigators that she did not enter the Dover apartment on the night of the murder.
The conversation happened on Nov. 7 at an undisclosed location in Portsmouth, an indictment says.
McDonough's lawyer, Andrew Cotrupi, could not be reached for comment on Monday.
During an interview in May, he remained circumspect about McDonough striking a plea deal with prosecutors, or whether she would become a state witness in her boyfriend's murder trial.
"Obviously, Kathryn is caught in something well beyond what she thought was even possible," he said at the time.
"She has nothing but regret to be involved in any way" in the events leading up to Marriott's death, he added.
Cotrupi suggested that some of the accounts provided by Mazzaglia were not entirely truthful.
"I think the evidence will be significantly different from the accounts some people have made," Cotrupi said.
Mazzaglia told state police detectives that he strangled Marriott during a consensual group-sex act, a claim that Thompson previously described as "hateful fiction."
State police were led to McDonough because of a single text message Marriott sent to a friend just hours before she was last seen.
Marriott sent a text message to Brittany Atwood about 8:55 p.m. on Oct. 9, telling her that she was going to her friend "Kat's" house, according to a police affidavit.
Each of the charges against McDonough are Class B felonies, punishable by 3½ to seven years in state prison.
