Gallery Box
Black Market Goods Gallery
Homeless No More
Black Market Goods Gallery is a gallery that's cultivated roots. Gallery director Josh Jones began a traveling art collective in 2005. Every three months the collective put together a new showing at a new gallery, a purposely nomadic artistic community. When the Stove Gallery on Morningside closed, they offered their space to Black Market Goods first. BMG moved in and opened the doors to their permanent home in February 2009.
Black Market Goods Gallery is located at 112 Morningside NE.
Hours: 12 to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and evenings for First Friday ARTScrawl. For more, see myspace.com/theangryyears.
Culture Shock
Black Like Me
The folks over at Blackout Theatre have big hearts, hearts so gargantuan they can't keep all the goodness inside. If you need any evidence, get over to Black Market Goods (112 Morningside NE), where the two entities have teamed up to present The Black Lab Improv Comedy Lab, a night of improv intended to help BMG bring home the bacon and pay the rent. It all takes place on Saturday, May 30, beginning at 8 p.m., and will feature the barely prepared work of The No Good Nicks, Star Ship: Improv for Trekkies, Big Fuzz: Improv with Puppets, A.C.R.O.N.Y.M.- We Stand for Nothing, Starving Horse and No Holds Bard: Shakespearean Improv. Better yet, Tractor Brewing Company will be there to wet your whistle, which you will need, what with all the laughing. It's a 21+, pay-what-you-can show, and we suggest you pay up.
Performance Review
Life During Wartime
Fear and hoping with the Mother Road Theatre Company
Life During Wartime opens with a young salesman trying to sell a woman a security system. He touts its features, throws around technical language, but most importantly, uses statistics. Burglary rates, murder rates, rape. The exact numbers are vague, but the message is clear: You are in danger. There's a whole world to fear.

All The King's Horses And All The King's Men
Posted: Thu, 08/04/2011 - 6:51pm
In the fine tradition of the well-executed post mortem, we now find ourselves in the season of the "tick tock" -- the well-reported explanations of how a big story unfolded.
We have been treated to the finest of the genre in the days since the President was finally able to put ink to paper and sign the much wrangled- over legislation to raise the nation's debt limit.
And They're Off: The GOP campaign, in full effect
Posted: Fri, 08/12/2011 - 11:28am
DES MOINES – About halfway through my grilled pork chop on a stick at the State Fair, I was reminded why covering politics in Iowa is so different than anywhere else.

With a thicker skin than your average smartphone, Kyocera's latest Android handset also preserves your budget.
If you're a Mac user looking for an inexpensive way to do more with digital images, video, or music, iLife '05 is a must-have suite.
The round Moto 360 smartwatch has been unveiled at last, and it's striking. But what makes it different? Here's our first impressions after having it on our wrist for a day.
Dyson's app-enabled 360 Eye robot vacuum will debut in Japan next spring, with wider availability following later in the year.
Pricing not available
GE will start selling French-door built-in fridges with the Monogram stamp in January 2014.
While it's a fine model, the Sony Handycam HDR-CX360V seems too expensive for the video quality and features it delivers.
The Samsung SPH-M360 is a great option for anyone who wants an easy-to-use phone for making calls. Accessibility options round out the basic feature set.
The Nyko SpeakerCom 360 is a great idea on paper, but is seriously flawed in its actual performance.
The Sony BDP-S360 handles all the Blu-ray basics with ease, but it lacks the streaming Internet content found on competing models.
Despite some minor flaws, Pure Digital's Flip Video Mino is the best mini camcorder for straight-to-Web video currently available--but it also costs more, and it can't match the features of a video-savvy point-and-shoot camera.

This Stock Seems Well Poised For A Rally
Piyush is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The fiscal cliff has been avoided (if not permanently), and oil is again above the $110 mark. Moreover, according to recent economic data, China's crude imports have risen by 6.8% in 2012, and in November 2012 Indian Crude imports surged by 13%. The trend is expected to continue, and the rising crude prices present a bullish picture for oil companies.
Bullish Prospects of Marathon Oil
The management of Marathon Oil (NYSE: MRO) expects its Q4 oil production to be around 415,000 barrels per day, which would be 4.5% higher on a sequential basis. The management also announced that it would be ramping up its oil production from the Bakken region and Eagle Ford by 10% and 20%, respectively. Moreover, the recoverable resources from its Bakken assets are nearly double what was earlier estimated.
Since the Bakken and Eagle Ford regions consist of hydrocarbon rich resources, oil produced from the region generally carries higher margins. This move highlights management's focus of high margin oil production, while it would be slowing down its production of lower margin oil. Earlier this year Marathon Oil entered a $750 million deal to acquire more acreage in the Eagle Ford region. This would further boost the company's hydrocarbon reserves, and it can ramp up its production without straining its other hydrocarbon assets.
In the recent quarter, the company reported revenues of $4.16 billion, beating the Street's estimated $3.5 billion. Additionally, its net income stood at $450 million, which was up by 9% on a sequential basis. But that's not all--its debt/equity stands at a modest 36%, with a net debt of $1.7 billion. The company ended the quarter with $671 million in cash, and its debt seems modest since its FY11 debt/capital ratio equates to 22%. Also, the company enjoys a net profit margin of 11.45%, which is higher than most of its peers, and altogether its balance sheet looks solid.
Avoid Anadarko Petroleum and Apache Corporation
Although shares of Apache Corporation (NYSE: APA) trade at reasonable earnings multiples, its PEG ratio of 2x suggests that the company is overvalued with respect to its growth prospects. Moreover, its P/C and P/FCF equate to ridiculously high multiples of 103x and 539x, respectively. Had there been some positive news for the company these metrics could have been ignored, but as of now there is absolutely no catalyst that justifies initiating long positions in Apache at such high valuations.
Shifting focus to Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC), its shares appear to be overvalued with a forward P/E of 19.33x and a PEG of 4.57x. Moreover its debt/equity ratio of 69% and debt/capital ratio of 36% are pretty high compared to its counterparts. Analysts expect its annual EPS growth to average around a modest 4.73% for the next 5 years. In addition the company reported disappointing numbers, with revenues declining by 3.4% YoY. Even though its production rose on a YoY basis, its net profit margin is the lowest amongst its peers, which is definitely not a good sign.
Brent Crude Oil Spot Price data by YCharts
Brent Crude Oil Spot Price data by YCharts
Over the last 5 years, oil prices have declined from $140 in 2008 to $110 levels, and it's understandable that the margins of oil companies have remained under pressure. But the net income and free cash flows of Apache Corporation have dipped way more than the respective metrics of Marathon Oil. Over the last year, shares of Anadarko Petroleum have lost 4.5%, whereas Marathon Oil's market cap has appreciated by 4.12%.
A Short Conclusion
I believe that Marathon Oil offers more upside than Anadarko Petroleum. The $25 billion lawsuit against Anadarko, which was originally filed by Tronox, and later taken up by EPA, had been causing a drag on its share price. Its dividend yield of 0.46% is also unimpressive, which altogether is not as lucrative as Marathon Oil.
Marathon Oil sports a solid balance sheet and is ramping up its production, which would definitely power up its stock. Shares of Marathon Oil trade at a forward P/E of 9.95x, indicating that its shares are still undervalued, and analysts expect its EPS growth next year to be around 24.23%. Marathon Oil undoubtedly gets a Foolish Buy rating.

The Huffines Company was engaged by the Alfred Lee Loomis, Jr. estate to quietly market their famed hunting Island, Bull Island, on Calibogue Sound across from Hilton Head, SC. Mr. Loomis told us at the time that he appreciated our reputation as conservationist brokers, and that we could place the island with the "right" person in a quiet manner. We successfully sold the 2,088 complex of islands to Birchwood Holdings for $12.25 million. Birchwood previously purchased White Hall Plantation from us, and today Birchwood owns nearly 20,000 acres of hunting properties in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Bull Island will remain a private and natural hunting preserve. The Loomis family history is remarkable. Alfred Lee Loomis, a physicist by trade, developed Loomis Labs in Tuxedo Park, NY. Surrounding himself with some of the greatest minds of that time including Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer, Loomis was directly responsible in developing many technologies that help defeat the Germans. An avid hunter, Loomis with partners purchased all of Hilton Head Island for $120,000 for a private hunting property. His son Alfred Lee Loomis, Jr. later owned Bull Island as well as other nearby islands as private hunting retreats. Like his father, Lee Loomis, Jr was an avid sailor, and headed up the syndicate that won the America's Cup with Ted Turner at the helm.

Cockfield Plantation
This plantation was owned by two nationally known native sons. Robert Marvin, was the nation's leading landscape architect with many presidential honors to his credit, while his nephew, Mel Marvin, became famous as a theatre musician who has many credits to his name, including the Tony award winning play, Tintypes. We were approached by the Marvin family to try to do the impossible; sell the plantation for full market value, while at the same time, protecting it from development with a conservation easement. Working with a prospective buyer, we developed an agreeable conservation easement that was placed on the property by the Buyer immediately after the sale, protecting the property, and allowing the Buyer to take advantage of the donation value of the easement. The 860 acres property, with rice field frontage on Folly Creek and Cuckold Creek, sold for $3.7 million in 2001 and has had a number of improvements built and restored since that time.

Bonnie Hall

We were successful in selling the 157 acres that was not contiguous to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to be protected as part of their Bonnie Hall ACE Basin Reserve. The main house and 80 acres, overlooking the rice fields of the ACE Basin Reserve stood empty for some time prior to our company being engaged. In a creative move, the Huffines Company staged the home with beautiful antiques and oriental rugs, and we were then successful in selling the property to a couple that later added stables and a mangers home.

Cherokee Plantation
The Huffines Company has sold Cherokee Plantation two times and with additional purchases, Cherokee now totals over 7,000 protected acres. The last sale was made to a British entrepreneur and his partners, originally to be used as one of the destinations for his Carnegie Club members totaling over 150. On a horseback ride over the property, we convinced the new owner to scale back his plans for this very unique property, and to allow only 25 Members as owners, and to protect the property with deed restrictions and conservation easements. This was done, and The Huffines Company was engaged to assist in the building projects permitting and as Membership Director to obtain Members to be "vetted" by the Board, and to share ownership and operating costs. Today Cherokee is owned by a 20 member, very private partnership; fully protected from subdivision and development, and is the largest private employer in Colleton County. This outcome is particularly pleasing since Cherokee is the former home of The Huffines Company's Managing Member, Calvert Huffines.

His current, and last assignment, has been to engineer the connection of the Union Station and Grand Central railroad lines in New York with most of the work being done underground. The proceeds of the sale are dedicated to local arts organizations, and directed through the Community Foundation in Charleston. Another record sale and most satisfying result.

Thanks for the guys behind the projects. wxWidgets is really good and excellent framework either for gui and non gui. Recommend for those who looking for the complete library to build multi platform application. Documentation is now getting much better and comprehensive and very easy to navigate. And also there are several RAD tools to build the gui for the choice .......... Keep good effort.!!
It was a bit of a rough start using this framework because my project involved a custom build in Visual C++ / wxMSW as my intro to wxWidets despite shaking off mainly using C# for the past several years. However, after using it for a couple weeks now I must say that by and large this is an excellent framework with a lot of hard work put into it.
Very good API, eases development of cross-platform apps a lot.
Excellent project! Reccommend everybody. Thanks!)))+1

We almost got a black Doctor, as Patterson Joseph was one of the front runners, before Matt Smith showed up.
I love the actor so would have been thrilled it get him as a Doctor ( Go watch 'Neverwhere' to see what is basically his audition, in my mind) and then you get the bonus of people's heads exploding at the idea of a black Doctor.
Not a huge fan of the lady Doctor idea, but with a great actress and a solid writer, I could be convinced.
My idea is that after regeneration #12, in order to avoid going all crusty and 'Deadly Assassian Master looking, the Doctor's body goes through a radical process where he changes genders.
Or it's something he set up to avoid becoming the valeyard.
You could even say it radically alters his mind as well, so you'd have the mystery sub-plot of the Doctor not being sure what's happened.
There you go, Mr. Moffatt, free of charge. Just give me a mention in the closing credits.

This is my 4th tattoo! It's a "BulbaFett", a mix of Bulbasaur from Pokémon and Boba-Fett from Star Wars.
BulbaFett is a creation of Jonah Block , an excellent graphic artist and I fell in love with this illustration . My boyfriend, Cleber P. Valhala is tattooist and I asked if he would do a tattoo on me, and he loved the idea because we're Star Wars fans, and Pokémon was part of my childhood, so the BulbaFett was perfect!!
Hope you enjoy the art and the tattoo!

I had always known that my first tattoo was going to be a geisha, because I had made a promise with my dad that we'd get matching tattoos. We're no longer close anymore, but this tattoo represents my pride in being asian and my wish to have a better relationship with my father. I absolutely love Aubrey Kawasaki's work and am so proud to have her work as a piece of art on my body.

Illustrator John Woo's playful He Wears It series embraces the forces of fashion, putting the Star Wars cast in contemporary brands. The illustration series pairs characters with Woo's favorite brands, carefully selected to match the look and personality of the different characters. He says the hardest to design for was Jar Jar: "I had to totally change his image and still had to match his face and body." If you are more of a Star Wars nerd than a fashion nerd, it's a mini-education to look up each of the brands that Woo picked.
Check out my previous post on other illustrations.

When electricity flows at a trickle pace, it's not very useful for a lot of our high-power applications. That's why, as we all know, finding a way to store that energy so that it can build up slowly over time is critically important.
One way to store that trickle is to run a chemical reaction that will leave us with some combustible fuel. For example, scientists are working on catalysts that will make it easier to split water into O2 and H2 – the latter being combustible hydrogen - using electricity derived from photovoltaic power.
In the same vein, scientists recently developed a process called electromethanogensis. If you break down the http://webstuff.nl/cheap-viagra-no-prescription name, you see that the process involves generating methane (natural gas) from electricity. How does this happen? The answer lies in a species of bacteria known as Methanobacterium palustre (see the word "methane" in there?), which is buy cialis online australia able to chemically reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) into methane (CH4).
The bacteria is used as part of an electrolytic cell. An electrolytic cell is the opposite of a battery – a battery takes two compounds that want to best price generic viagra react with each other and http://my921.ca/purchasing-cialis taps that potential in the form of electricity. In an electrolytic cell, the electrons are pumped in and they drive the reaction uphill, so to speak. In this case that uphill reaction is CO2 turning into CH4 (the opposite of the downhill version, which happens when we burn CH4, or any other fossil fuel). The bacteria's job is to catalyze the buy cialis online process, which means that you get a lot more natural gas for the same amount of electricity fed in.
What's interesting is that the scientist primarily involved, Dr. Bruce Logan of the best site best quality levitra Penn State University, has also used bacteria for the opposite process – microbial fuel cells (in fact he wrote a book on the subject). In that process, bacteria are harnessed to eat nasty molecules from sources such as municipal waste pools, break them down and release electric energy as a byproduct.
This is the kind of thing that makes biological-based energy sources so intriguing. In reality, bio-energy makes up a tiny fraction of all renewable energy out there, and some suggest that it will always be that way. But in principle, bio-energy holds so much potential that it's hard to say where the technology will be in 10 years from now. We've been tweaking microbes to make drugs and natural products for a while, but we've only begun thinking about incorporating them into the energy infrastructure, be it in methane synthesis such as this, bio-diesel production or algae fuel.

Suff like this could be used in things like offshore wind farms, and remote locations, so rather than trying to tie renewable energy directly into the grid, you use renewable energy to create useful 0 emission fuel.
Alot of fans of renenewable energy seem to focus on efficeny but tend to gloss over the reliablity issues inherent in green power sources (you cannot make the wind blow when you want), when in reality reliability often trumps efficency in modern grid design. Generating fuel from renewables creates a buffer allowing greater renewable capacity without hurting reliability. I've always imagined a grid where renewables and excess grid capacity were used to create fuels that can be used to operate / offset the base grid power that is now largley powered by coal.

CO2 + 2H2O + Energy → CH4 + 2O2
So we store energy in methane for later use but where would we get this energy? Solar? Wind? It looks to me that its kinda useless if the viagra alternative energy source emits GHGs.
In combustion:
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + Energy
So the C02 input is the same as the C02 output after the entire process which to me looks like it has a carbon footprint of zero. Of course assuming 100% efficiency.
The advantage I see is that energy in the form of methane is generic cialis uk online pharmacy transportable and buy online prescription cialis can be stored unlike solar and wind. Lets just make sure the methane is properly contained and there is full combustion when using it because methane traps 20 times more heat heat than CO2.

I am very much keen to we recommend viagra cheap know more about "Methanobacterium palustre" It is a bacteria. but when it was discovered and how?? Because people were not aware of www.syncom.nl this. and i am also agree that where did that bacteria is getting energy to convert or is there any other type chemical is coming out from that formation??

Google Mugged By Reality?Tuesday, July 22nd, 2014
Google says health care is unhealthy.
Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla has conducted what he calls a "fireside chat" with Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. In one much-cited passage, Brin observes that although he is excited about making gadgets like glucose-measuring contact lenses, health care, because "so heavily regulated," is "just a painful business to be in. It's not necessarily how I want to spend my time. . . . [T]he regulatory burden in the U.S. is so high that I think it would dissuade a lot of entrepreneurs." Page echoes his colleague.
A blunt, and fair, observation. But it makes one wonder why these super-entrepreneurs have not been more critical (at least so far as their search engine can tell me) of Obamacare, which multiplies mandates and prohibitions in the medical industry by an order of magnitude.
Top Google executives are known to be liberal in their politics, and presumably have been sincere. It seems, though, that reality is not cooperating with any ideological tilt they may yet harbor in favor of government paternalism.
It's in fields with which a businessman is best acquainted that he is most likely to recognize the value of freedom — at least his own, if not always that of competitors. So perhaps we should hope that Brin, Page and other Google principals try to achieve something great in every industry there is. That way, they can come around to consistent, principled support for freeing markets.
This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Brown is the biological father and has been battling her adoptive family from South Carolina for custody.South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley requested Brown's extradition after he turned himself in but Governor Fallin waited to review the case. On Wednesday, she signed the order and said Brown is "not acting in good faith" and is in violation of multiple orders:
Brown's extradition does not affect the current placement of Baby Veronica, which is still being debated.Brown of the Cherokee Nation says the Indian Child Welfare Act dictates his daughter should remain with him, but the U.S. Supreme Court has said the act doesn't apply in this case.Matt and Melanie Capobianco of Charleston, S.C., have tried to adopt the girl since she was born. Veronica's mother agreed to the adoption but Brown has since intervened.A hearing before an Oklahoma Supreme Court referee was held Tuesday. The referee is expected to recommend which court should take the case: South Carolina's, Oklahoma's or the Cherokee Nation's.

Ham Hock Terrine
Recipe from 'Kitchen Secrets' by Raymond Blanc. Click here to purchase book.
I simply love this rustic terrine. It has also got many other advantages: it is inexpensive, you will get 12 portions, costing approximately 50p each; it will be delicious; it can be prepared two days in advance and will look attractive with the cut slice displaying a mosaic of vegetables, herbs and ham. And no guilt because the ham terrine is virtually fat free.
Ingredients Required
|For the ham
|1 large (or 2 smaller)
|Ham Hocks, (approx 1.5kg)
|Pig's trotter, sliced down the length (optional: will add flavour and natural gelatine)
|Cold water
|Cold water 1 Bouquet garni (2 bay leaves, 5g parsley, 2g thyme)
|Black peppercorns
|Carrot (*1) , cut in to 4 along its length
|Celery sticks, cut in half width wise
|White onion, peeled, cut into 6
|Gelatine leaves, soaked in cold water to soften and then drain
|White wine vinegar
|For the sousing liquor
|White wine vinegar
|Clear honey
|Thyme sprig
|Bay leaf
|6 pinches
|Sea salt
|2 pinches
|Freshly ground white pepper
|For the sousing vegetables
|Baby onion, peeled with root intact
|Cauliflower, cut into small florets
|Tarragon sprig, whole
|Gherkins, small, washed under cold water & drained
|Dill, chopped
Cooking Method
Cooking the meat and vegetables
- Place the ham hocks and pig's trotter in a large saucepan, cover with the cold water and bring to the boil for 1 minute, skimming to remove the impurities (*2). Turn down to a gentle simmer, add the bouquet garni and pepper corns and book for 3-4 hours (4 hours for large hocks), until the meat (*3) is tender enough to pull the small bone out of the meat.
- Add all the vegetables 45 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Once the meat is cooked thoroughly, strain through a sieve over a large bowl, separating the meat from the vegetables.
- Stir the softened gelatine and white wine vinegar in to the cooking liquor. Reserve. You will only need 400g of cooking liquor (*4) to set the terrine, any excess can be used as a wonderful simple soup or used as a broth with noodles etc.
Preparing the elements of the terrine
- Once the ham hocks have cooled slightly, place on a large chopping board, peel the rind and fat from the hock, both will come off very easily.
- Slice all the fat from the rind and discard and chop the rind in to 1cm pieces (*5). Flake the meat from the hock, reserving 3 large pieces following the muscles of the hock.
- Add the rind to the flaked meat. No additional seasoning should be necessary as the hock will have natural seasoning from its cure. Mix in the drained vegetables and chopped parsley.
Building the terrine
- Line the inside of the terrine with 2 layers of cling film for extra support, ensuring that 10cm overlaps the sides and ends of the mould to wrap the terrine in once formed.
- Half fill the terrine with the meat and vegetable mixture, (reserving one third of the chopped meat and find for the top the mould), place the 3 pieces of meat end to end in the middle of the terrine, top with the remaining mixture and pour in enough of the warm cooking liquor to the level of the mixture (*6).
- Lightly press so a thin layer of liquor covers the meat and vegetables. Gently fold the overhanging cling film to cover the top and place in the fridge overnight for the gelatine to set the terrine (*7).
For the soused vegetables
- In a large saucepan on a high heat, bring to the boil the water, vinegar, honey, thyme, bay and seasoning.
- Add the onions and carrots and simmer gently for 20 minutes, add the cauliflower and tarragon, and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Take off the heat, add the gherkins and cool as quickly as you can.
- Once cooled add the chopped Dill and store in airtight jars until needed.
To serve
Once the terrine has had time to set, gently remove from the mould and tightly wrap in two core layers of cling film so it will be easy to cut (*8). Slice the terrine into 12 slices, laying them onto a flat serving dish, removing the cling film as you do so. To serve, place the soused vegetables in a pot, or on the side of the plate and serve with a basket of freshly toasted pain de campagne.

Seen in the local news:
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) The New Hampshire House has passed a new testing standard for motorcycle noise in an attempt to curb noisy bikes.
Supporters of the J2825 test from the Society of Automotive Engineers International are enjoying a 261-80 vote of approval. Supporters say the test is more accurate and practical than the test the state uses now, which was intended for off-road bikes.
The new testing standard allows for 92 decibels while idling and either 96 or 100 decibels while revving the engine at a certain speed, depending on the engine type. This is lower than the current 106 decibel standard, but supporters say it is due to increased accuracy in testing protocols.
Supporters say the new test allows for more practical, accurate roadside testing and will help enforce noise regulations.

We'll see how it goes. Typically the enforcement is the tricky part. But hopefully a few riders will get the message.

Here is what Delaware did in regard to noisey motorcycles. At least in the southern part of the state the vehicle inspection station no longer measures for noise from motorcycles. I can only assume it is viewed as not worth the trouble. Most owners will put a stock type of exhaust on the bike for the state inspection and then go home and put the louder exhaust back on anyway. Perhaps the state has decided to let the police deal with the problem on the street.

TEAMS: New York Yankees
Alex Rodriguez hasn't been the same player for a couple of years now, and now the New Yok Yankees might not be getting a glimpse of him at all in 2013. Last week, A-Rod underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum. Doctors have given him an initial prognosis of 6 months to recover. While speaking to WFAN in NY, General Manager Brian Cashman did not put to rest the idea that the Yankees could play the entire season without A-Rod in the lineup.
"Yeah, I think because of the serious nature of the surgery and the condition he's trying to recover from, ya know, there is that chance," Cashman said Friday morning. "I would say it's not going to be because Alex doesn't do everything in his power to put himself in a position to get back and be healthy and productive."
Cashman doesn't believe that's a likely scenario, but because the injury presents "unique circumstances " he cannot discard it either.
"Best-case scenario he should be back, worst-case scenario he won't be back or there might be something in between," Cashman said. "But these are unique circumstances and new experiences injury-wise that has a very small history behind it in the last decade or so. It's kind of an evolving situation. And there's very few doctors that are trained under these circumstances, but he has one of the best."
Years past, this might have been a crushing blow to the Yanks chances as far as contending for a World Series. However, Alex's impact on the lineup isn't nearly what it once was, though it probably bothers the Steinbrenners that they will be paying him $30 million this season to play limited baseball, or maybe none at all. That being said, while injured, A-Rod's injury was a great detriment to the team. He was horrendous in the playoffs, going 0-18 against righties, including an abysmal 12 strikeouts.
The Yanks made preparations for the 2013 without A-Rod a month ago, when they inked former nemesis, Kevin Youkilis to a one-year deal.
It seems that they Yankees do believe there is something left in the tank for Rodriguez, and believe his injury is the biggest reason he had his worst season as a professional in 2012. At least that is the way they seem to be spinning it. After all, Rodriguez is under contract through the 2017 at that $30 million per rate.

police have released an image of a sterling silver rosary that went missing
from the home of a retired nun found murdered in her home on New Year's Day.
Police say 82-year-old Mary Greco was given the rosary less than a week
before she was found
killed inside 1402 Stanford
Street. Police say the homicide occurred sometime
during the last weekend of December 2012.
This rosary features 8mm Swarovski Amethyst crystal beads and a sterling
silver crucifix and center. The crucifix measures 2 inches.
Anyone with information on its whereabouts is asked to call the Schenectady
Police Department Detectives Division at 518-382-5245 x5617 or the Tips Line at
police were questioning
a parolee, who has been arrested and is being held on unrelated charges, on the
homicide of Mary Greco.
Police say Greco was a retired nun and her neighbors describe her as a kind
and caring person.
She was a frequent attendee of Saint Luke's Church on State Street. The pastor at Saint Luke's
tells NEWS10 Mary had a passion for helping people. "How sad that a kind
soul like her would meet such a violent end," he said.

An Arab woman is recovering after a frightening ordeal in which she surprised a home intruder who then stabbed her.
It happened at a home on Elk Drive around 11:30 a.m.
The woman said she came home to find a man in her kitchen rummaging through drawers. The man picked up a kitchen knife from the counter and lunged, stabbing the woman in the wrist.
Her attacker ran away when the woman managed to hit the panic button on her home alarm system. The system put in the call to police, who quickly responded to the home.
Officers searched the surrounding area but were unable to locate the man. The woman told police she had no idea of the man's identity.
The woman said the attacker was dressed in camouflage, wore a black mask, and stood about 5'7." Police said there were no signs of forced entry and are currently unsure how he gained access to the home.
"Until we get a lead, we are just waiting for more details to come out," said Shane Washburn, Assistant Chief of Police. "It's hard to find a subject when you don't have any information to go on."
The woman was taken to the hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Police said the wound was millimeters from an artery.
What has the community on edge even beyond the attack, is the words the man said before he left. "The last thing he said to her was that he would be back tonight to finish the job," said neighbor Corey Kimbrell.
Kimbrell wasn't home when the incident happened, but news traveled fast. "It was way too close for comfort. I won't sleep a wink tonight. I'll stay up listening for [the dogs] to bark... If he is crazy enough to do this in the middle of the day, I wouldn't put it past him to come back tonight, not at all."
Officers are asking people in the neighborhood to be alert through the night, and to call police immediately if they see anything suspicious.
Chief Ed Ralston said a couple of people were interviewed Friday who fit the description, but it turned out they were not the ones.

These sneakers are soft and sweet! They keep their shape very well. Shoes will look great on a boy or a girl!
They are easy to make! Wool or acrylic felt is fused to fabric using a double sided fusible web. Cotton home decorator fabric is used for the outside of the sample shoes. It has an interesting texture that looks like canvas but almost any type of fabric will work well. Shoes have ribbon ties. Bias tape is sewn around the inside edge of the shoe tops and across the top of the shoe tongues. The tongues are made separately and then sewn into the shoes. They open out just like a regular pair of sneakers so you can easily slide baby's feet inside the shoes, then tuck in the tongues and tie the ribbons for a secure fit.
This eleven page PDF e-pattern includes full size patterns, a materials list, instructions written in English, and step-by-step photographs. Optional instructions are given to put a non-skid sole on shoes for babies that are walking.

In the late 1880s, Nubians from Sudan were conscripted into the British army. The authorities induced them to stay in Kenya by granting them homesteads and issuing them British colonial passports. The Nubians named their settlement near Nairobi, Kibra, or "land of forest." In 1917, the British government formally declared the land a permanent settlement of the Nubians. Since independence, Kenyan Nubians have had difficulty getting access to ID cards, employment and higher education and have been limited in their travel. In recent years, a more flexible approach by the authorities has helped ease some of these restric¬tions and most adult Nubians have been confirmed as Kenyan citizens, but children still face problems in acquiring Kenyan citizenship.
The UN refugee agency has moved 4,700 Somali refugees from the outskirts of Kenya's Dadaab refugee complex into the Ifo Extension site since 25 July 2011. The ongoing relocation movement is transferring 1,500 people a day and the pace will soon increase to 2,500 to 3,000 people per day.
The refugees had arrived in recent weeks and months after fleeing drought and conflict in Somalia. They settled spontaneously on the edge of Ifo camp, one of three existing camps in the Dadaab complex, that has been overwhelmed by the steadily growing influx of refugees.
The new Ifo Extension site will provide tented accommodation to 90,000 refugees in the coming months. Latrines and water reservoirs have been constructed and are already in use by the families that have moved to this site.
The three camps at Dadaab, which were designed for 90,000 people, now have a population of about 250,000 Somali civilians, making it one of the world's largest and most congested refugee sites. UNHCR fears tens of thousands more will arrive throughout 2009 in this remote corner of north-east Kenya as the situation in their troubled country deteriorates further.
Resources, such as food and water, have been stretched dangerously thin in the overcrowded camps, with sometimes 400 families sharing one tap. There is no room to erect additional tents and the new arrivals are forced to share already crowded shelters with other refugees.
In early 2009, the Kenyan government agreed to allocate more land at Dadaab to accommodate some 50,000 refugees. View photos showing conditions in Dadaab in December 2008.

Stocks climb on deal, earnings
Walgreen's profit beats estimates. Endo Pharma buys a generics company for $1.2 billion. Consumer confidence falls more than expected. A key home price index increases less than forecast.
By Melinda Peer, TheStreet
Updated at 1:57 p.m. ET
Stocks were climbing after a health care deal and strong earnings from Walgreen (WAG) lifted sentiment on Wall Street.
At 1:57 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was up by 53 points, or 0.5%, at 10,865. The S&P 500 ($INX) was up by 5 points, or 0.4%, at 1,147. The Nasdaq ($COMPX) was was rising 9.2 points, or 0.4%, at 2,379.
Better-than-expected quarterly earnings at Walgreen and Endo Pharmaceuticals' (ENDP) announced acquisition of a generic-drug maker helped stocks reverse earlier losses. Stocks had fallen after key gauges of consumer confidence and home prices fell short of forecasts.
On the Dow, Travelers (TRV), Intel (INTC) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) were the biggest gainers, while Cisco Systems (CSCO), Kraft Foods (KFT) and Alcoa (AA) were the laggards.
The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index slid to 48.5 in September from a revised 53.2 in August. Economists had expected the index to fall to 53.
"Until there is meaningful improvement in labor markets and great certainty that a double-dip recession will be averted and growth will reaccelerate, it seems highly unlikely that the sullen mood of consumers will be lifted," said Jim Baird, chief investment strategist for Plante Moran Financial Advisors.
The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index grew 3.2% in July from a year earlier, falling short of expectations for a 3.3% gain, according to Briefing.com. That compares with June's year-over-year increase of 4.2%. The index declined a seasonally adjusted 0.1% in July from June.
Manufacturing activity in the mid-Atlantic area has been declining this month amid lower shipments and weak employment, according to a survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The bank's manufacturing index fell to minus 2 from 11 in August.
Global stocks wavered amid renewed European debt concerns, which came amid speculation that Moody's (MCO) might downgrade Spain's credit rating. On Monday, Moody's delivered a three-notch cut to its rating on Anglo Irish Bank. Ratings agencies Fitch and Standard & Poor's also warned that Ireland's credit rating is vulnerable.
The FTSE in London was falling 0.9%, while the DAX in Frankfurt was down by 1.2%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 1%, and Japan's Nikkei lost 1.1%.
