D'Addario EXP45 Coated Nylon Guitar Strings Normal Tension
Gauges - .028 .032 .036 .028 .035 .044.D'Addario EXP45C Coated Classical Guitar Strings provide longer life and increased durability coupled with the brightness, the clarity and sensitivity you've come to expect from D'Addario strings. Here is how they work: An ultrafine layer of EXP coating is bonded to the phosphor bronze wrap wire which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire. The result is a built-in barrier against the corrosion and wear that can quickly sap the life out of your strings and your sound. And since the EXP coating is cross-linked to the wrap wire prior to winding, the strings sound fresh and bright. New-string tone lasts 3 to 4 times longer than traditional guitar strings.D'Addario is the world's largest manufacturer of strings for musical instruments. Many top guitarists won't play any other brand. Regardless of your playing style, D'Addario has a set that's right for you.

Copper prices will extend recent gains in 2010, although at a slower pace, as improving global demand replaces supply concerns as the main driver of the market, according to CPM Group senior base metals analyst Catherine Virga.
"Copper supply is not tight right now. And LME (London Metal Exchange) inventories are up 50 percent since July," Virga said at the American Copper Council meeting in Dallas. But while the recent strength in copper prices reflects a "market premium for looming labor strike-related supply disruptions," prices will remain strong throughout next year on increasingly positive fundamentals, she said.

With temperatures set to plummet, automotive experts say there are ways people can prepare for a successful morning commute.
At Vaughn's Automotive in Dubuque, owner Ron Vaughn sees all kinds of winter-related damage this time of year.
"People sliding around the corner in the snow and hitting the curb, they're taking out wheel bearings, bending tie rods, spindles," Vaughn said. "We're seeing a lot of that front-end damage. We're also seeing quite a few no-starts."
When it comes to dead or stalled batteries, Vaughn said, the safest route is to call an expert, such as a towing company or the American Automobile Association.
For folks in a bind, who can't call an expert, remembering the proper jumper cable order is very important.
For all cars, the order begins by placing one of the two positive cables on the positive side of the dead or stalled battery. Next, place the other positive cable on the positive side of the live battery. Third, clamp one of the two negative cables on the negative side of the live battery.
The fourth and final clamp's placement differs depending on your vehicle, and that's why it's so important to check the owner's manual (or call an expert) before jumping the vehicle.
In some vehicles, particularly older models, the fourth (and negative) cable goes on the negative side of the dead battery. In other models, often newer ones, that clamp goes, instead, on an exposed metal part of the stalled vehicle's engine, away from the battery and the carburetor/fuel injection system.
In other words, if you just default to the classic way but your car calls for the new way, you could do some damage.
"The best way to do it, of course, is call the professionals," Vaughn said. "Call a wrecker service, have them come by. They have the quality of cable required to start that vehicle when it's cold, and most of them take some type of towing insurance or AAA."
If you find you do need a jump in cold weather, experts recommend letting the car idle for about five minutes after you've successfully started the engine. That allows it to get enough of a charge.
Vaughn also warned about vehicle battery chargers. Using one overnight in a garage, for example, can build up fumes that are flammable. Users will want to unplug their charger from the outlet before removing the cables from the engine, in order to avoid a spark. If someone smells anything unusual, Vaughn recommends, unplug the unit from the outlet but then wait a few minutes before removing the clamps from the engine.
He also recommends people make sure their windshield wiper fluid has a low enough freezing point to withstand the cold temperatures. He recommends one with a freezing point between -30 and -50.

I'm completely satisfied with this app. PowerAmp did not work on my Xperia Arc S so I installed Xplay and now it's my favorite. Keep up the good work!
Always crashes when new music files are added to the device-galaxy young...gt-b5510
Have almost 4k songs and like to make large playlists. Folder view with check box feature is awesome for adding 100 songs to a playlist efficiently. Thanks so much. Good for my Motorola.
After trying many other apps this one was the clear choice for purchase. The installation allows for moving to SD Card and the added benefit of the equalizer and Bass Boost make this player the perfect replacement for the stock player on a Motorola Fire
Won't play flac files, but otherwise, it is excellent.
I feel so disapointed after I paid it I thought it could auto rotate

Michael Young Rumors
Rangers Notes: Washington, Young, Manager, Tomas
Former Rangers manager Ron Washington stated in a live press conference that he had an extra-marital relationship, which was the basis for his decision to leave his post. He also said that he intends to return to the game at some point in the future, though no specific timeline was given.
Here's more on the Rangers…
- As Texas looks for its new skipper, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that there's some mutual interest between the team and former cornerstone Michael Young. Sources tell Rosenthal that any past issues between Young and general manager Jon Daniels have been settled. Young, of course, had a tumultuous end to his time with the Rangers and at one point requested a trade, going on the record stating that he had "been misled and manipulated" and was "sick of it."
- Daniels told reporters, including Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News, that he expects the managerial search to pick up steam the week after the regular season's conclusion. The Texas GM said that he is considering a wide variety of candidates, including one "just off the field" candidate, which could of course be Young. However, Grant notes that Young may not be ready to jump back into the game. Young turned down multiple offers that would've paid him more than $4MM to play in 2014 to be close to his family, Grant writes. Grant also speculates that 39-year-old Gabe Kapler could surface as a candidate, though Kapler declined to comment when reached by Grant last week.
- The Rangers will have scouts on hand to watch Cuban slugger Yasmani Tomas' showcase this Sunday in the Dominican Republic, reports Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com. As he notes, the Rangers could be in need of a replacement for Alex Rios if his $13MM club option is not exercised. The Rangers do appear set with their other two outfield spots, however, with Leonys Martin under team control through 2018 and Shin-Soo Choo under contract through the 2020 season.

Michael Young To Retire
Seven-time All-Star Michael Young will retire rather than sign with a new team this offseason, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter). The 37-year-old Young had three "good offers," according to Rosenthal, including one from the Dodgers — the last team he played for in his Major League career. Ultimately, Young chose to spend time with his family rather than pursue a 15th Major League season.
Young split the 2013 season between the Phillies and Dodgers after being sent to Philadelphia by the Rangers in an offseason trade last year. That marked the only season of his illustrious career in which he did not don a Texas Rangers uniform. Though his production waned in his final two big league seasons, Young still posted a .249/.335/.395 batting line in 2013, which was slightly above average, as evidenced by his 102 OPS+ and 102 wRC+.
Young will retire with a career batting average of exactly .300 to go along with a .346 on-base percentage and .441 slugging percentage. He mashed 185 homers in his career, scored 1137 runs, drove in 1030 runs and swiped 90 bags in 120 tries. He has more than 3800 career innings at shortstop, second base and third base and also added 884 innings at first base as well. In addition to his versatility, Young brought nearly unparalleled durability to the table. From 2002-13, Young averaged 155 games per season, and though he missed nearly 30 games in 2009, he never landed on the disabled list.
The Rangers got their hands on Young in one of the more lopsided trades of the past 15 years, as they sent Esteban Loaiza to the Blue Jays to land him in a three-player deal. Loaiza went on to post a 4.96 ERA for Toronto over the next two-and-a-half seasons, while Young became a fixture in the Rangers lineup for more than a decade.
In addition to his seven All-Star selections, Young garnered American League MVP votes in five seasons, finishing as high as eighth on two different occasions. Young earned just under $91MM over the course of his career, according to Baseball-Reference. MLBTR wishes him the best of luck and happiness in his post-baseball life.

Quick Hits: Yankees, Santana, White Sox, Phillies
Even after the addition of Masahiro Tanaka, the Yankees' rotation is third-best in the AL East, behind the Rays and Red Sox, writes Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald. The Yankees' rotation lacks depth, Lauber writes, while the Rays have David Price (at least for now) and a strong collection of young pitchers, and the Red Sox have plenty of solid starters to back up Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz. Here are more notes from around the big leagues.
- Eight teams, including the Rockies, Orioles, Mariners, Yankees and Dodgers, have interest in Ervin Santana, Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish writes. (Earlier today, Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik seemed to imply the Mariners would not be heavily involved on Santana.) Other teams could enter the picture as well. The Cubs also asked about Santana, but draft-pick forfeiture is a problem for them, even though their first pick is protected.
- The White Sox will meet with pitchers Texas high school pitcher Tyler Kolek, Vanderbilt pitcher Tyler Beede, and and California high school shortstop Jacob Gatewood as they prepare to pick third overall in the June draft, MLB.com's Scott Merkin writes. White Sox amateur scouting director Doug Laumann says, unsurprisingly, that he does not expect Carlos Rodon to fall to the White Sox at No. 3. They've already met with Rodon, East Carolina pitcher Jeff Hoffman and NC State shortstop Trea Turner.
- In the abstract, it might seem like the Phillies should rebuild from the ground up, but their situation is actually more complex than that, Brad Johnson of FanGraphs writes. Rebuilding efforts can fail, and memories of a streak of mostly poor play from 1987 through 2000 linger in the minds of Phillies fans, who Johnson says aren't a patient bunch. And even if the Phillies sold some of their big contracts, they would still have plenty of payroll obligations. Given the situation they've gotten themselves into, Johnson argues, simply trying not to lose too much might be the best strategy for them this year.
- Michael Young hasn't decided whether he will play in 2014, but if he does, it will be for the Dodgers, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times tweets. A report earlier this month indicated that Young was thinking about retiring.

Rangers Notes: Young, Moreland
Here are a few notes from Rangers Fan Fest, which is taking place today in Arlington.
- The Rangers aren't likely to sign Michael Young, GM Jon Daniels says (via ESPN Dallas' Richard Durrett on Twitter). Instead, the Rangers will turn to internal options to find another bench infielder to pair with Adam Rosales.
- The Rangers are looking for pitching depth, Durrett writes. "I mean guys that can help our big-league club," GM Jon Daniels says. "We would have been looking for that this time of year anyways before Derek (Holland) got hurt but that changes things a little bit."
- Daniels also notes that he thinks the free-agent market is "coming out of a dead period" with recent signings of Grant Balfour, Eric O'Flaherty and Grady Sizemore.
- Mitch Moreland will be the Rangers' main designated hitter, Durrett tweets. The team will also occasionally start other players at the position. Moreland has been mentioned this offseason as a potential trade target for teams like the Brewers and Pirates who are in need of a first baseman, but the Rangers have also reportedly told Brewers GM Doug Melvin that they won't deal Moreland. Given that they have him penciled in at a starting position, that makes sense.

West Notes: Astros, Dodgers, Mariners, Rangers
A source tells MLB Daily Dish's Chris Cotillo that the Astros haven't discussed a long-term extension with Jason Castro yet. The 26-year-old appears to be a candidate for a long-term deal after a 2013 breakout campaign that saw him slug 18 home runs and generate 4.3 fWAR, tops among AL catchers not named Joe Mauer. However, he's now eligible for arbitration, and could become expensive quickly if he's not interested in an extension. As FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal observed recently, teams appear increasingly willing to trade players who resist being locked up. Here's more from baseball's Western divisions:
- Steve Dilbeck of the Los Angeles Times notes the Dodgers' need for a utility infielder and wonders if they'll try to bring back Michael Young, who hit .314 for the club in 53 plate appearances last year after being acquired from the Phillies. GM Ned Colletti says the Dodgers have maintained contact with Young, who's reportedly considering retirement.
- Cotillo hears (via Twitter) that the Mariners and the Indians are the frontrunners among the five to seven clubs interested in Scott Baker.
- Also from Cotillo's Twitter, the Rangers plan to use lefty Rafael Perez, who they've inked to a minor-league deal, out of the bullpen. Perez, who didn't appear in the majors in 2013, was a starter for much of his early career in the minors. The Rangers were known to be on the hunt for a left-handed arm for their rotation following Derek Holland's recent injury.

NL Notes: Reds, Cardinals, Padres, Dodgers
Here's the latest out of the National League:
- Even as they continue to work out contracts with key pitchers Homer Bailey and Aroldis Chapman, the Reds are keeping an eye on the free agent market, reports MLB.com's Mark Sheldon. GM Walt Jocketty says he is looking for an extra outfielder and infielder, indicating that he'd like to have a player at Triple-A that can handle shortstop in the event of an injury to Zack Cozart. "We're still looking at a couple of guys," said Jocketty. "I don't think there's been any progress, especially this week. Once a lot of the agents get through the arbitration process this week, we'll have more time to pursue any last minute invites for Spring Training that create more competition."
- The Cardinals have improved in several areas without sacrificing prospects or draft picks while the rest of the division largely stood pat in terms of acquisitions, says Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, but that does not mean the club has only smooth sailing ahead. While the organization dealt with injuries impressively last year, it is no sure thing to do so again, and players like Peter Bourjos and Allen Craig have some injury baggage. Whether the team can get a repeat performance from Matt Carpenter, and get production from an all-new middle infield (Jhonny Peralta, Kolten Wong, and Mark Ellis) are also all open questions.
- After signing all but one arbitration player (Andrew Cashner), the Padres' payroll looks likely to end up at around $87MM by Opening Day, writes Dennis Lin of U-T San Diego. That would constitute a delivery on owner Ron Fowler's promise of a payroll increase of over 20%, says Lin, who opines that the team could still look to extend Cashner and add a southpaw to the pen.
- As noted in an earlier post, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick says the Dodgers should prioritize an extension of Hanley Ramirez over the signing of Masahiro Tanaka. Meanwhile, reports Mark Saxon of ESPNLosAngeles.com, the team has continued to talk with Michael Young about a return for the trade deadline acquisition.

Michael Young Considering Retirement
Michael Young is "strongly considering" retiring after 14 Major League seasons, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports (Twitter links). Young wants to spend more time with his wife and three sons, and is considering walking away from the game despite continued interest in his services. Rosenthal reports that four teams are interested in Young and the veteran infielder had received "decent offers."
Young, who turned 37 in October, hit .279/.335/.395 in 565 PA with the Phillies and Dodgers last season. He began the season as Philadelphia's everyday third baseman but was reduced to a part-time role after he was traded to the Dodgers at the end of August. The Dodgers considered bringing Young back as their third baseman for 2014 but the club instead re-signed Juan Uribe to fill that position.
Besides the Dodgers, Rosenthal reported in December that the Brewers, Rockies and Nationals were all interested in Young this offseason, though the Nats' interest had dried up. Milwaukee, of note, was looking at Young as a first baseman rather than at the hot corner. The Yankees were also connected to Young as a possible option in the wake of Alex Rodriguez's suspension.
The issue for Young could be playing time, as Troy Renck of the Denver Post noted that Young's desire for a starting job could have impeded a deal with the Rockies, who wanted him for a bench role. Of his known suitors, it would seem the Yankees and Brewers could've offered the most potential playing time given how shallow those teams are at third and first, respectively, but Young still would've likely ended up in a platoon.

Yankees Notes: Infield, A-Rod, Payroll
The fallout over Alex Rodriguez's suspension for the entire 2014 season is still settling over both the Bronx and the entire baseball world. Here's the latest on both A-Rod and other Yankee-related topics…
- The Yankees will "most likely" not sign another infielder to a Major League contract, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports (Twitter link). As Rosenthal notes, that would take the Yankees out of the running for Stephen Drew and Michael Young. Drew might've been a long shot anyway given Scott Boras' salary demands and the fact that Drew is a natural shortstop, though Young and Mark Reynolds were reportedly both on the Yankees' radar. Reynolds, however, has already rejected a minor league offer from the club and only wants a Major League deal.
- The 162-game suspension will reduce Rodriguez's salary to just under $2.87MM for 2014, though Forbes Magazine's Maury Brown notes that the Yankees will pay A-Rod $3MM on Wednesday in the last instalment of his original $10MM signing bonus. Brown's piece also looks at several other facets of Rodriguez's suspension, including possible implications for the MLBPA and future PED testing rules.
- Rodriguez's suspension gives the Yankees millions in salary relief, a situation that The Denver Post's Troy Renck and FOX Sports' Gabe Kapler both see as a sign that MLB needs to do more to penalize teams who have players suspended for PED violations. Renck suggests that wins could be removed from a team's record, while Kapler suggests that a team should pay a suspended player his full salary, but the player would then have to donate his salary while under suspension to an MLB-approved charity.
- "The hard reality is that no matter what you think of A-Rod, the Yankees brought this situation upon themselves, purely out of greed," ESPN New York's Wallace Matthews writes, noting that Rodriguez's contract was negotiated by Yankees upper management above GM Brian Cashman's objections. Matthews suggests that the club could just release Rodriguez and pay the remaining $61MM on his contract just to avoid the distractions if A-Rod shows up at Spring Training as planned.
- From earlier today, the Yankees agreed to sign infielder Scott Sizemore to a minor league deal.

Cafardo On Arroyo, Overbay, Drew, Boras
In his latest column, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe revealed that he is part of a BBWAA committee that will explore the Hall of Fame voting process and discuss what changes (if any) need to be made. Some of the issues likely to be addressed by the committee is whether to allow voters to name more than 10 players on their ballots, whether or not long-time broadcasters or statistical analysis-centric writers should be given a say in HOF voting.
Here's the latest hot stove news from Cafardo…
- Two new teams have joined the hunt for Bronson Arroyo. At least one of his suitors is moving closer to giving Arroyo the third contract year he's looking for, though that third year could come in the form of a vesting option. Cafardo isn't sure if the Twins were that mystery team, though they've been interested in Arroyo all winter. He also cites the Yankees and Phillies as interested parties, as those two clubs join the likes of the Orioles, Mets and Pirates as those linked to the veteran righty this winter. Cafardo reported last month that Arroyo has received two-year contract offers from four different teams.
- Free agent Lyle Overbay is an option for both the Astros and Brewers at first base. Milwaukee is also still considering signing Michael Young for first, or trading for Mitch Moreland of the Rangers.
- Agent Scott Boras says "there are five or six teams who I have actively talked to concerning Stephen [Drew]," including the Red Sox. As you might expect, Boras denied that Drew's market is in any way limited, noting that Drew doesn't have a new contract yet since "free agency is a long process. It just doesn't end at Christmas. It's a January, February, and even a March process."
- Boras "has a tremendous stake in the Red Sox' present and future," Cafardo writes, noting that the agent represents not just Drew, but also top youngsters Xander Bogaerts, Jackie Bradley and Deven Marrero.
- "The silence on [Kendrys] Morales is deafening," as teams are reluctant to give up a first round draft pick as compensation for the slugger. At least one team said they're leery about spending significant money for a DH, though Boras, Morales' agent, counters by noting the impact that David Ortiz has had on the Red Sox and also noting that his client can play first base.
- Johnny Damon has stayed in shape and would be willing to resume his career. The 40-year-old hinted at retirement if he couldn't find a contract last offseason and indeed Damon ended up sitting out the 2013. Damon is also a Boras client, and the agent tells Cafardo that Damon has yet to contact him about officially retiring.
- Manny Ramirez wants to continue his career, his hitting coach David Segui predicts, though Segui hasn't spoken to Ramirez in over two months. "Manny will always be able to hit," Segui said. "He loves to play, so it wouldn't surprise me if he's still looking for something." Ramirez's agent, Barry Praver, said in November that his client looking for a return to the Majors. Ramirez, 41, last played with the bigs with the Rays in 2011 before being suspended for PED use. Over the last two years, Ramirez spent some time with the Athletics' and Rangers' Triple-A affiliates and also played in Taiwan.
- A National League GM predicts that one of Masahiro Tanaka's many suitors will "come in and blow everyone away. There's going to be a dance where everyone is in the same boat and then there will be a team that breaks the bank for him."

Yankees Notes: Kuroda, Third Base, A-Rod
Hiroki Kuroda gave the Yankees "top priority" this offseason after he decided to pitch another year, the hurler tells Sponichi (via an article by Mike Axisa of River Avenue Blues). Kuroda says the Yankees approached him about an extension as early as August. As Axisa notes, the episode is another indication that the Yankees have abandoned their "no extensions" policy. Here's more Yankees notes, with a heavy emphasis on Alex Rodriguez, who will be suspended for the entire 2014 season:
- The A-Rod suspension gives the Yanks a much better chance of getting under the $189MM luxury tax threshold, but they'll also need to find someone to play third base, Anthony McCarron of the New York Daily News writes. While the Yankees have Kelly Johnson in the fold, he's played just 16 games at third in his Major League career.
- Other potential fits include Mark Reynolds and Michael Young. Reynolds, you may remember, played 36 games in pinstripes last season. There's also Dustin Ackley and Nick Franklin of the Mariners, whom another source says the Yankees expressed interest in at the Winter Meetings. A trade may not be in the cards, however, McCarron says.
- ESPN's Jerry Crasnick examines the fallout from the suspension, noting that cases such as Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro indicate A-Rod has little chance of entering the Hall of Fame. Meanwhile, Commissioner Bud Selig can now argue that he's left the game "in a better place."
- While Rodriguez plans to take his case to federal court, Ian O'Connor of ESPN New York opines that such a bid is also unlikely to succeed. "Federal judges historically have little interest in hearing cases already settled in collectively bargained arbitration," O'Connor writes.
- Daniel Lazaroff, a professor at the Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, says A-Rod winning an injunction that would allow him to play in 2014 "is about as likely as the 'steroid-era' players being elected to the Hall of Fame." Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times has more from Lazaroff in his column on the suspension.
- Peter Schmuck of The Baltimore Sun expects a long court battle, which might be A-Rod's "only chance to preserve any semblance of a legacy."

Ecuador (página en castellano)
Belgian cooperation has been present in Ecuador since 1977, when it executed a first bilateral project there. It took until 1980 though before a first general cooperation agreement was signed between both governments.
In June 2006, Ecuador and Belgium concluded their 7th Joint Commission, which amounted to EUR 32 million for two priority intervention sectors: Rural development and health.
Ecuador is very diverse, geographically speaking. Rural areas are most affected by poverty (77%). The GDP per inhabitant is increasing. In 2009, it amounted to USD 3,669, which places Ecuador among middle-income countries.
However, the benefits of development are still distributed unequally in the country. About 10% of the population hold 46% of national income. Some parts of the population are especially touched by poverty, such as women, the poor and the Afro-Ecuadorian population. That is why the rural development programme supports local initiatives that provide employment and income-generating opportunities to these social groups in five priority provinces. In each province, production zones have been identified for coffee and cocoa cultivation, for fisheries and for tourism. The objective is to improve the quality of the products and their commercialisation.
The healthcare system in Ecuador has degraded over the past 10 years following the fragmentation of its institutions and the fact that improving health services was not considered a priority. The current government has allocated a USD 1,300 million budget to the sector, which is an increase of 200% compared to previous years. 500 million of that amount is for the development of a new Healthcare Management and Performance model, to enable a growth in the coverage and quality of free services. The health programme of Belgian cooperation will support this plan, which was formulated by the Ministry of Public Health.
Regardless of the efforts agreed upon by different cooperation actors, 62% of rural population and 38% of urban population still have no access to drinking water. One of the critical issues is the management of water resources and of hydraulic basins. Access to high-quality water is an essential condition for good health. That is why the Health Programme will help the Ministry for Urban Development and Housing to improve the management of Juntas de agua parroquiales (Intermunicipal water providers) in collaboration with other cooperation agencies, which are concentrating on the construction and improvement of drinking water systems.

Chestnut Hill College, in partnership with the Northwest Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network (NPIHN), will host the NPIHN 20th Anniversary Empty Bowl Dinner on Wednesday, November 14, with two seatings at 4:30-6 p.m. and 6:30-8 p.m. The event is held in Sorgenti Arena, located at 9601 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia. The K Ten Kids Foundation, Elfant Wissahickon Realtors, Pepsi, Prudential Fox and Roach, People Helping People Inc., sitiCare, The Goldenberg Group, and Chestnut Hill Hospital will sponsor this year's dinner.
The 14th Annual Empty Bowl Dinner, a popular event at the College and with the surrounding community, combines the warmth of community and a hearty meal for the purpose of raising money in support of the NPIHN's mission to mobilize resources and volunteers in direct response to the needs of neighbors who have lost their homes. Local businesses, schools, and artists donate bowls, while local restaurants donate soups, breads, and desserts. For a small fee, diners can select a hand-crafted bowl and enjoy fare from restaurants and bakeries in the Philadelphia area. At the end of the evening, diners take home their empty bowl as a reminder that every night in the City of Philadelphia more than 1,000 children go without a meal or a place to call home. This year, the Empty Bowl dinner also celebrates the 20th anniversary of the NPIHN in Northwest Philadelphia and the expansion of the NPIHN into Northeast Philadelphia. It also honors those Congregations that have served NPIHN over the years. "This year's Empty Bowl Dinner celebrates the 20th anniversary of Northwest Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network," says Rachel Falcove, NPIHN's executive director. "Our work during the past years demonstrates that when an entire community joins together: congregations, schools, organizations, business owners, artists and community members, we really can make a difference in the lives of our neighbors in-need. We are so proud that 92 percent of the families we served never needed a repeat stay in a shelter, and many of the parents and their children have accomplished so much. They are college graduates, professionals, and employees with full benefits and homeowners. So many of our NPIHN alumni return as volunteers to help other families in their journey from homelessness to self sufficiency, and that makes us doubly proud. It truly takes a village, and this Northwest Philadelphia village is one of the best!" Chestnut Hill College students volunteer as servers for the event, which attracted more than 1,500 attendees last year and raised over $16,000 from the dinner. All proceeds from the event are donated to NPIHN. There will be live music, raffles, children's activities, and Mike McGrath of WHYY's "You Bet Your Garden" will be a special guest that evening. New this year, for a small donation, participants can also sponsor the dinner as a Dinner Host. Tickets are $20 for adults, $8 for students and children, and can be purchased in advance at www.philashelter.org.
Note: This year, there will be no on-campus parking at the College for those attending the Empty Bowl Dinner. Please note that parking is available for attendees at the following locations:
1. St. Philip Neri Church and School in Lafayette Hill: 437 Ridge Pike, 466 Germantown Pike, and 3015 Chestnut Street. 2.

By Scott Summerill Managing Editor Utah voters will be faced by a controversial Tax Initiative proposal that will roll back the tax rate and put a ceiling on future increases. TAXES The proposal is broken into three separate parts. Initiative A would put a limitation on local property tax. According to a report from the Utah Foundation, a private tax research organization, the reduction would result in a loss of $184.9 million. Initiative B would reduce the taxes to their 1987 level on personal income, motor fuel, sales and cigarettes. The total loss of revenue would amount to $141.4 million. Under the provisions of Initiative C, families with children enrolled in private schools would receive a tax credit that would cost the state $3.5 million. If all three of the tax initiatives pass, the total state and local revenues would be reduced by $329.7 million. Proponents of the initiatives claim that the initiatives will eliminate waste in state and local government and trim off the dead wood while revitalizing the sluggish state economy. The Standard-Examiner quoted Greg Beeslcy, chairman of the Utah Tax Limitation Coalition, as saying "I wouldn't go so far as to say politicians have been irresponsible in taxation. We just sec government as being out of control." Opponents of the initiatives say the cuts arc too deep to absorb by simply slimming down the government machinery. Officials claim that the lost revenue will mean major cutbacks in essential services such as education, police health judiciary and others with the possibility that many programs will be eliminated. Mike Christcnscn, deputy director of the stale office of planning and budget, was reported in the Standard-Examiner as saying public education, health, social services and corrections make up 88 percent of the state budget. "There's no way without wiping out other departments that you can come up with the tax cuts without affecting health, social services and education," he said. "They just take too much of the pic." Supporters claim that scare tactics arc being used to try to defeat the initiatives. They say threats of service cuts and increased costs in other services just won't happen. Comparing the Utah initiatives with similar tax cuts in California and Massachusetts, proponents say the threats there didn't COmC ad out and they won't here in Utah either. On the other hand, opponents arc quick to point out that in both California and Massachusetts the cuts affected only property taxes. The Utah initiatives will affect property taxes, income taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes and cigaretlc taxes. Opposition claims the increased areas of ihe cuts would be devastating to the state economy.

Carhartt Caps: Unisex Brown Acrylic Watch Cap A18 BRN

Warm and durable...
By: kseverna
In the Carhartt tradition, this hat is extremely well made. And the color is great. It perfectly matches my Carhartt chore coat, and I'm sure it's close to the color of other companys' brown duck material as well. It does have a tendency to pill after heavy use, but for seven bucks you can always just get a new one if it gets too bad. It's really good at keeping in the warmth that naturally comes from your head, and it isn't bulky so you can later it underneath another hat if you need super warmth. Would recommend, especially for this price.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The core of this blend coming from Marsannay give this wine bright cherry notes, supple tannic structure and vibrant acidity. This village produces some of the winery's favorite Bourgogne level wines and has some of the oldest sites for Pinot in the Cote. The more profound and slightly tannic fruit of Savigny-les-Beaune provides depth and structure to the final blend.

A $10,000 raise per teacher was one of the suggestions that came out of a meeting today to discuss how to retain teachers in North Carolina.
The Educator Effectiveness and Compensation Task Force met Tuesday to identify challenges that cause teachers to leave the state and work on solutions for retention. Panel members include leaders of teacher groups and parents of students with legislators.
"It's been extremely difficult because a lot of teachers who are moving toward retirement have had their pay frozen, their retirement frozen, and what they were expecting from the state of N.C. hasn't been there," explained Judy Kidd, with the North Carolina Classroom Teachers Association.
Right now, a beginner teacher makes a little more than $30,000 per year, and it will take at least 11 years to earn $40,000. Compared to neighboring states, North Carolina's starting pay is below that of which is in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
"The base pay in N.C. needs to be raised," Kidd said. "The [superintendent] of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools suggested the base pay be raised $10,000 per teacher, and I agree with that.
"Most teachers would agree with that."
North Carolina school teachers have received one raise since 2008. Gov. Pat McCrory and legislative leaders this month pledged to raise salaries of the least-experienced teachers to recruit and retain them.
Education budget-writer Sen. Jerry Tillman, R-Randolph County, pointed to an improving economy as a way to funnel more money to teachers and education.
"The business climate is much better; businesses are coming here," Tillman said. "With that in mind, the revenues are going to improve [and] as they improve I want to push these dollars into education."
Tillman said he hope the task force will be able to come up with a plan that the General Assembly will be able to put into law.
"I hope they can come up with better ideas than I have, and better ideas than the legislature has," Tillman said. "These are great and talented people in their field. I want to get together their best thinking and see if we have some things that we can put into action."
The panel also heard about options to give bonuses to teachers in hard-to-staff schools and subjects, and reward teachers whose students meet academic goals.
The task force will meet again next month.

I remember rolling my eyes when my daughter, at age 10, advised me to read the book "Harry Potter". Sure, sure. I'll read your kid's book as soon as I find the time. Of course, I have read, reread and love the entire series.
The Twilight Saga also falls into the adolescent literature category. Really fun read.
Recently, I started reading the Inkheart series. I had ordered the hardback trilogy through the school's book order process. I started reading the book to my 9-y-o, but he thought the book was too slow, and informed me that the Inheart books were more "girl" books. I didn't want to waste the purchase, so I started reading them on my own, and now I'm halfway through book 3.
Then this last weekend, since Inheart was too heavy to carry on the plane, I grabbed a paperback book that looked interesting. My 18-y-o boy had left it in my car, and I remembered that it is one of his favorites. Well, I finished Ender's Game in 2 days. It was insanely good. And so deep. I can't stop thinking about it. There are so many things in it. Here is the Amazon.com review.
Intense is the word for Ender's Game. Aliens have attacked Earth twice and almost destroyed the human species. To make sure humans win the next encounter, the world government has taken to breeding military geniuses -- and then training them in the arts of war... The early training, not surprisingly, takes the form of 'games'... Ender Wiggin is a genius among geniuses; he wins all the games... He is smart enough to know that time is running out. But is he smart enough to save the planet?

The tornado threat is increasing across East Texas this afternoon into the evening hours.
A boundary left over from yesterday's storms is draped across the I-20 corridor this afternoon and this is adding to the low level spin in the atmosphere available for thunderstorms. As thunderstorms encounter this enhanced area of spin, tornadoes will be possible in addition to large hail and gusty winds.
The thunderstorms will be developing where winds at the surface from the southeast rapidly change to southwest as the storm builds through the atmosphere. This will provide enough shear for storms to rotate making them capable of producing very large hail, over 2 inches in diameter, strong winds, and isolated tornadoes.
In addition to the severe weather threat, any storm will be capable of producing very heavy rainfall. This will aggravate the wind damage threat from falling trees thanks to the loose soil, much like what we saw yesterday. Stay with KLTV and KLTV.com for the latest weather information.
All East Texas counties are under a tornado watch, in effect until 10 p.m. Tuesday night

"I think the best part about it is that my teammates wanted me to shoot. They wanted me to take the tougher shots. They wanted me to shoot over two people. So that always gives me confidence. And I just tried to go out there and come through for us."Darnell Mayberry
