James Horwill spoke to Fox Sports after the match.
"We were in it but obviously our silly mistakes cost us. We need to make sure we get on the front foot before we go wide. You can't miss easy tackles against a dangerous side and that's what we did."

Try Wallabies. James O'Connor scores a try with ease after the Wallabies shift the ball right with pace against a tiring All Blacks squad. Lealiifano converts on fulltime.
Fulltime: Australia 29 New Zealand 47
77th min: Cooper runs onto the ball but can't decide what to do with it. Takes a strong hit as punishment. Had to get the ball away earlier and be decisive with his intention.
76th min: Great step and run by Lealiifano but Hooper, Australia's best player so far, ran straight into Lealiifano, spilling the ball. Chance gone.
73rd min: Try All Blacks. Ben Smith notches up his third try for the All Blacks after Tevita Kuridrani spills the ball. A hat-trick for the All Black who streaked for the line. What an effort. He has outshone every winger on the pitch!
Australia 22 New Zealand 47
Aaron Cruden leaves the field with a slight limp after an impressive display for the All Blacks.
70th min: Folau finally has the ball in hand and throws a pin-point ball to Richie McCaw. Right on the chest.

There's still time to close the gap. Plenty to work with too but it doesn't get easier. Hostile crowd awaits in Wellington. — Georgina Robinson (@geerob) August 17, 2013
Quade Cooper has entered the fray.
Yea boy. The man is on @quadecooper— Digby Ioane (@digbyioane) August 17, 2013
65th min: Penalty New Zealand which Aaron Cruden converts. The All Blacks have racked up 40 points here at ANZ Stadium. They are lethal on the counter and brutal with ball in hand. Very impressive display of strength despite arguably not delivering their best performance.
Australia 22 New Zealand 40
63rd min: Remarkable piece of play. THe Wallabies were spreading the ball and making big yards when a Aaron Cruden intercepted a Lealiifani ball before kicking ahead. Folau appeared to give up but Julian Savea persisted and almost scored. The ball trickled into the corner post as the winger jumped dispairingly over it. Breathtaking piece of play. Great open-entertaining game here in Sydney.

58th min: Try All Blacks. Australia spill the ball at the nscrum and pay. All Blacks spread the ball with ease. Ben Smith crosses to score with ease. Cruden fails to convert. Poor scrum and defence from the Wallabies who were too easily exposed wide on the left. Credit to the All Blacks for their ease in turning defence into attack.

53rd min: Try All Blacks. Australia fail to contest a All Blacks bomb and they pay. Conrad Smith scores following an Aaron Smith break. Genia is the culprit for mine. Failed to contest the bomb which led to the try. Matt Toomua gave a couple of his kicks too much air as well. Just inviting the All Blacks to attack with the ball. Cruden converts.
Australia 22 All Blacks 32
Penalty Australia. All Blacks attacking the ruck from the side. The Wallabies have come out of the blocks well in this second half. Lealiifano converts.
Australia 22 New Zealand 25.
44th min: The Australian scrum will gain momentum from that scrum. The All Blacks penalised for collapsing. Huge confidence builder for the Wallabies.
Australia 19 New Zealand 25
Second half underway. A big ten minutes beckons for the Wallabies at the start of this second half. Quick All Black points would hurt the Wallabies confidence immensely.
Subway just called for Will Genia. The only thing the diminutive Queensland halfback ingests on match day are two of the chain's chicken and salad foot-long subs. Based on that length-of-field effort, the people behind the "Eat Fresh" campaign could do worse than make Willy G their new ambassador.
40th min: Penalty All Blacks. Three easy points right on halftime. Although I would suggest the Wallabies will be happy only conceding three points with the All Blacks looking likely for a five-pointer.
Halftime: Australia 19 New Zealand 25
On the mark: Wallabies' Will Genia avoids a tackle before scoring for the Wallabies. Photo: Reuters
Try Wallabies - Will Genia streaks away for his eighth Test try. Michael Hooper cleaned up a scrappy All Blacks lineout and off-loaded to the try-scorer. For all money it looked like he would be mown down by Israel Dagg. Genia evaded the tacklers to score. Lealiifano converts.
Australia 19 New Zealand 22
Funny things happen when the focus of your attack is to score tries. #Bledisloe — paul zalunardo (@zalman44) August 17, 2013
35th min: Where has Israel Folau been in this match. I think he's touched the ball twice. He needs to find some action if the Wallabies are going to be competative in this match.
33rd min: Another try to the All Blacks. And it's the captain Richie McCaw who crosses in the corner for his 20th Test try. Numbers on the All Blacks right well-exploited. Cruden's conversion strikes the post and the crossbar and misses.
Australia 12 New Zealand 22.
Captain courageous: Richie McCaw scored his 20th Test try. Photo: Brendan Esposito
Try All Blacks - Aaron Cruden scores his second try against the run of play. That's a heartbreaker for the Wallabies who have toiled for their 12 points. Lealiifano took too long with the kick which was charged down by Cruden. Inexperience from the young Lealiifano.
Cruden converts - Australia 12 All Blacks 17.
27th min: Penalty Wallabies - Lealiifano slots the penalty giving the Wallabies the lead for the first time.
Australia 12 All Blacks 10
23rd min: The All Blacks are so quick up in a line in defence and are savage at the breakdown, Australia aren't going forward in attack, just lefft to right. They'll need faster ball if they want to advance their attacking line.
Slow to deliver: Will Genia has been limited by slow ball in the first half. Photo: Brendan Esposito
23rd min: Penalty Australia as the All Blacks fail to roll away at the breakdown. Christian Lealiifano converts over the black dot.

Line-break Australia! Ashley-Cooper breaks the line with a direct run right through the heart of the All Blacks defence. Where was the support. O'Connor was ten metres away! THey manage to hold onto the ball despite All Blacks pressure at the breakdown.
14th min: Penalty Australia. Michael Hooper attacked the breakdown with ferocity forcing the New Zealanders to hold onto the ball.
12th min: Penalty Australia. All Blacks captain Richie McCaw coming over the top. Silly fould from the captain. Gifted three points to the Wallabies - assuming Lealiifano converts. Which he does. Australia have steadied and accrued some early possession.

3rd minute: Try to the All Blacks - what a start. They look fierce. Ben Smith scores his fifth Test try in the third minute of this clash. Terrible start from the Wallabies. THe flick ball from Cruden was unbelievable. no-look, as he was getting tackled. Huge from the All Blacks.
Aaron Cruden converts.

Kick-off here as the All-Blacks gain the ball back from an early Wallabies error. Early pressure here for the Wallabies with an All Blacks lineout five metres out from the Wallabies line.
Here comes the Haka - The Australians stand arms in arms - resolute in the face of the traditional war-dance.
Read Andrew Webster's piece in the lead-up to this big match here.
Welcome to Bledisloe I. What a match we have on our hands here. THe Wallabies are desperate to prove themselves after their loss to the ions. The All Blacks, so far ahead of their rugby rivals will attempt to maintain the status quo - their clear superiority in the code plain to see evidenced by results inrecent years. Strap yourself in for what will be a fierce battle with both teams having plenty to prove.
With history stacked against them, the Wallabies know Australia can all but kiss the Bledisloe Cup goodbye for a 12th straight year if they can't topple the All Blacks in Sydney on Saturday night.
Skipper James Horwill admits a victory in the series opener at ANZ Stadium is not negotiable ahead of games two and three in Wellington on Saturday week and at Dunedin's House of Pain on October 19.
The Wallabies haven't beaten the mighty All Blacks in New Zealand in successive Tests of a series since 1949 and haven't won at all across the Tasman since 2001 - 15 matches ago.
If that's not damning enough, the world champions have won their past 26 home Tests in total stretching back to a loss to South Africa in Hamilton in 2009 and haven't suffered consecutive home defeats to any rivals since France upstaged them twice back in 1994.
Lose on Saturday night and Australia's Bledisloe Cup hopes could perish in a week.
"We know how tough it is to win in New Zealand so we've got to make the most of playing on our home patch," Horwill said.
"There's two games in New Zealand so I guess that makes this game coming up tomorrow night that little bit more critical because it is on our home turf.
"You've got to win your home games in these competitions to try and succeed."
With new coach Ewen McKenzie urging his charges to back their attacking instincts, the Wallabies are hoping to spin the ball wide to gamebreaking wingers Israel Folau and James O'Connor.
But Horwill knows the Wallabies must win the all-important breakdown battle for that to happen.
"We've got to make sure that we address the numbers correctly - we don't want to be found short at breakdown and we've got to make sure that we do the work first before we worry about running the ball," he said.
"We need to make sure as a forward pack we give a platform to our backs to attack off because we've got a very dangerous backline that can really do some damage when they get clean ball."
Horwill is hoping the new "crouch-bind-set" scrum laws, designed to reduce the number of collapses and being used for the first time in this weekend's Rugby Championship opener, will aid the Wallabies.
"We've got to make sure that we get a result out of the scrum," he said.
McCaw is playing his first Test in almost nine months, but Horwill is refusing to assume the champion flanker will be anything below his world-class best and says the return of their talismanic leader will only fuel the All Blacks' belief that can inflict yet more Bledisloe pain on the Wallabies.
"Something that I don't think can be underestimated from an All Black point of view is the effect he has on his teammates and the confidence that he gives them," he said.
Wallabies: Jesse Mogg, Israel Folau, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Christian Lealiifano, James O'Connor, Matt Toomua, Will Genia, Ben Mowen, Michael Hooper, Hugh McMeniman, James Horwill, Rob Simmons, Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore, James Slipper. Reserves: Saia Fainga'a, Scott Sio, Sekope Kepu, Scott Fardy, Liam Gill, Nic White, Quade Cooper, Tevita Kuridrani.
All Blacks: Israel Dagg, Ben Smith, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (capt), Liam Messam, Sam Whitelock, Luke Romano, Owen Franks, Andrew Hore, Tony Woodcock. Reserves: Keven Mealamu, Ben Franks, Charlie Faumuina, Brodie Retallick, Sam Cane, Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Beauden Barrett, Ryan Crotty.

A cross-county police chase that began in Collier County Tuesday morning ended over 100 miles away with the arrests of three suspects in Lauderhill after they careened through the neighborhood and attempted to flee their car on foot.
The suspects, Jeremy Thomas, 22, Darius Hall, 22, and James Steel, 19, have all been charged with unoccupied burglary and grand theft. Thomas, who was driving the vehicle, faces a charge of fleeing and eluding.
South Florida television stations went live and captured part of the chase and arrests.
All three of the suspects are on probation for various charges including burglary and assault with a deadly weapon.
The chase started soon after Collier County Sheriffs Office deputies responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle in the neighborhood and found a burglarized home in the area. Deputies said the three suspects stole jewelry and other items from the home.
A witness described the car, a black Chrysler 300, and when a vehicle matching that description was spotted on Alligator Alley the chase was on.
The pursuit started on Alligator Alley in Collier County, at about 10:05 a.m., and went from I-595 to the streets of Broward. Broward Sheriffs Office deputies and other local officers joined in the chase, but eventually called it off when the car made it on to I-595 exceeding speeds of 100 mph.
The three suspects jumped from the car and ran in different directions through yards in the neighborhood at Northwest Eighth Court and Northwest 33rd Way, jumping gates and fences along the way, but were eventually caught and taken into custody by Fort Lauderdale police officers.
Detectives said that some of the property stolen from the Naples house was in the vehicle when the men were arrested.
In the midst of the chase, two Fort Lauderdale police cruisers got into a three-car accident with a silver Honda Civic, that belongs to Broward, at the intersection of Northwest 27th Avenue and Sistrunk Boulevard.
The officers involved were hospitalized with minor injuries at Broward Health Medical Center and have been released.

|Scientific classification
230+, see text
Trichogramma are minute polyphagous wasps, commonly known as stingless wasps, that are endoparasitoids of insect eggs. [1] Endoparasitoids lay their eggs in eggs or larvae of other species. Currently in the world there is an estimated 50 million animal species with 1.7 million having been described. Of these, seventy-five per cent are believed to be insects. Trichogramma represent around 80 genera from the Trichogrammatidae family with over 800 species worldwide. [2][3][4]
Members of the Trichogrammatidae family range in size from 0.2 to 1.5 mm. Key means of dispersal include walking and short jumps. [5] The adults require sugar as an energy source obtained from nectars, honeydew, plant sap and sugars leached through the phloem. They occur naturally in a variety of habitats across the world and have the ability to parasitize numerous host species. Their main hosts are eggs of Lepidoptera and other species such as Hymenoptera, Neuroptera, Diptera, Coleoptera and Hemiptera. [1]
Although there are several egg parasitoids commonly used throughout the world, Trichogramma have been the most extensively studied. [6] There have been more than a thousand papers published on Trichogramma and they are the most used biological control agents in the world. [3]
Female adults use chemical and visual signals, such as eggs shape and colour, to locate target eggs. [3] When a suitable egg is found the experienced female will use antennal drumming, tapping on the egg surface, and from the interior by the ovipositor, to determine if the egg has previously been parasitized. Atennal drumming is also used to determine the size and quality of the target egg, which determines the appropriate number of eggs the female will insert.[7] A single female can parasitize one to ten target eggs a day.
Trichogramma are small and very uniform in nature which causes difficulty in identifying the separate species. [8] [9] As females are all relatively similar it has always fallen upon the males to tell the different species apart by examining their antennae and genitalia. [10][11] Currently the number of Trichogramma species is approaching 200 but previously in 1960 it was thought only six species of Trichogramma existed. [1]
The first description of a Trichogramma species was in North America in 1871 by Charles V. Riley. He described the tiny wasps that emerged from eggs of the Viceroy butterfly as Trichogramma minutum. [3] In entomology, original specimens are very important as they are the basis of reference for subsequent descriptions of species. The original specimens, however, were lost.
Riley also described a second species in 1879 as Trichogramma pretiosum, but these specimens were lost too. As a result, taxonomists must rely on written descriptions of these original specimens. This most likely has contributed to the difficulty in separating the morphologically similar Trichogramma genera.
To correct these errors, entomologists returned to the areas where Riley originally found the species and obtained neotype specimens of T. minutum and T. pretiosum. These specimens are now preserved properly in the United States National Museum. [3]
Biological control[edit]
Trichogramma have been used for control of lepidopteran pests for many years. They can be considered the Drosophila of the parasitoid world as they have been used for inundative releases and much of our understanding today comes from experiments with these wasps. [12]
Entomologists in the early 1900s began to rear Trichogramma for biological control. Trichogramma minutum is one of the most commonly found species in Europe and was first mass reared in 1926 on eggs of Sitotroga cerealella. [1]
Nine species of Trichogramma are produced commercially in insectaries around the world with 30 countries experiencing Trichogramma released in them. Trichogramma are used for control on numerous crops and plants, these include cotton, sugarcane, vegetables, sugar beets, orchards and forests. [13] Some of the pests that are controlled include Cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), Codling moth (Cydia pomonella), Lightbrown apple moth (Epiphyas postvittana), and European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis).
Trichogramma species vary in their host specificity. This can lead to non-target hosts being parasitized. This can cause problems by reducing the amount of parasitism of the target host, and depending on the rate of parasitism, non-target effects could be significant on non-target host populations. When picking Trichogramma for biological control, it is important to try to choose a host specific species and preferably a native species of Trichogramma.
Species used[edit]
The most commonly used species for biological control are T. atopovirilia, T. brevicapillum, T. deion, T. exiguum, T. fuentesi, T. minutum, T. nubilale, T. platneri, T. pretiosum and T. thalense.[3]
Trichogramma pretiosum
Trichogramma pretiosum is the most widely distributed Trichogramma species in North America. [3] It has been the focus of many research studies and has been able to be reared on 18 genera of Lepidoptera. It is a more general parasitoid, by which it is likely to parasitise a range of different species.
Trichogramma pretiosum (Riley) was introduced into Australia in the 1970s as part of the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) IPM scheme. [14][15] Trichogramma pretiosum was originally used to describe Trichogramma from hosts on non-arboreal plants such as cotton.
Trichogramma carverae
Trichogramma carverae are mainly used for light brown apple moth and codling moth control and is predominately used in orchards.[16] In Australia T. carverae is used for biological control of light brown apple moth in vineyards. Though Australia has its own native Trichogramma species there has not been much work undertaken to commercially use them for biological control within Australia. [17]
Light brown apple moth is common throughout Australia and is polyphagous on more than 80 native and introduced species. The larvae are the stage that causes the most damage, especially to grape berries which provides sites for bunch rot to occur.[18] Losses in the crops can amount up to $2000/ ha in one season. It is very predominant in areas like the Yarra Valley. Insecticide use is not a preferred method by most growers who prefer a more natural mean of controlling pests. As a result, Trichogramma were considered a good candidate for biological control as the larvae are difficult to control with insecticide and light brown apple moths are relatively vulnerable to egg parasitism with their eggs being laid in masses of 20-50 on the upper surfaces of basal leaves in grapevines.

Drama On One Podcast: Drowning by Tomás O'Suilleabhain


text: WASHINGTON, D.C. (KDAL) - Senator Al Franken is urging the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to fulfill its duty and limit excessive oil speculation to prevent oil producers from artificially inflating fuel prices. Franken is also calling on the Office of Management and Budget to allow an increased use of domestic biodiesel to further reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil. He says with gas prices nearing a statewide average of 3.59 a gallon and more increases expected as the weather warms up, action needs to be taken to stem the rising costs of gasoline and keep them from spiraling out of control.

Ed. note: Justin Nicolino, Jake Marisnick and Adeiny Hechavarria were all sent to the Miami Marlins on November 13 as part of a 12-player deal that landed the Blue Jays Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, Jose Reyes and others.
It's been a year of ups and downs for the Toronto Blue Jays and particularly for the bright prospects that populate their farm system.
While some - like Anthony Gose, Adeiny Hechavarria and Moises Sierra - have enjoyed a taste of major league life prior to September call-ups, it has been a year to forget for a few others.
Top prospect Travis d'Arnaud had his season derailed by a knee injury in late June, surprise major league starter Drew Hutchison performed nicely in 11 starts before an elbow injury ended his season, with Tommy John surgery likely keeping him out for a large part of 2013.
Marcus Stroman - who seemed on the fast track to the majors after the Jays selected him in the first round of the 2012 MLB Draft - is now serving a 50-game suspension for testing positive for a banned substance.
The dark cloud that followed the Jays for a lot of 2012 did not restrict itself to hovering over the Rogers Centre.
However, there have also been a lot of success stories throughout the system this season. With the minor league regular seasons having come to a close, we can now take a complete look at how the Jays young talent performed before breaking away for playoff runs and further development over the winter.
Here's a look at the best of the Jays' system through the end of the 2012 minor league regular season.
Justin Nicolino (LHP, 20)
Selected by Toronto in the second round of the 2010 MLB Draft.
2012 stats: 10-4, 124.1 IP, 2.46 ERA, 119 K, 21 BB, 1.07 WHIP (Lansing, A)
So much of the Jays' future hopes rest with its elite trio of pitchers from the double-A Lansing Lugnuts. Nicolino's year was parabolic in terms of his on-field success. In the first half he was electric as the Jays slowly acclimatized him to A-ball. He didn't give up a run through the first month, but once the innings started piling up, the league caught up with him. He did have an excellent August, however, posting his highest monthly ground ball/fly ball ratio and a monthly low for opposing batting average. He was named to the Midwest League All-Star team.
Jake Marisnick (OF, 21)
Selected by Toronto in the third round of the 2009 MLB Draft.
2012 stats: 55 GP, .233 BA, 2 HR, 15 RBI, .622 OPS, 14/18 SB (New Hampshire, AA)
A quick glance at Marisnick's totals for 2012 only tells a fraction of the story on one of the Jays' very best young talents. Having finished 2011 in Lansing (A), the 21-year-old acquitted himself well enough through 65 games in Dunedin (A+) to earn a New Hampshire call-up. He finished on a torrid pace, hitting .375 in his final nine games of the season. Seven of those games were of the multi-hit variety with a .966 OPS over his last 10 games. MLB.com ranks Marisnick behind only d'Arnaud on the Jays' top prospects list.
Aaron Sanchez (RHP, 20)
Selected by Toronto in the first round of the 2010 MLB Draft.
2012 stats: 8-5, 90.1 IP, 2.49 ERA, 97 K, 55 BB, 1.273 WHIP (Lansing, A)
Sanchez is possibly the Jays prospect that got the most positive ink this season. He did not register a loss until July and he kept opponents well below the Mendoza line throughout the first half. The summer was not especially kind to Sanchez, who went 2-5 with a 4.36 ERA in the second half. However, that didn't stop the power pitcher from being named Baseball America's top Midwest League prospect in August.
D.J. Davis (OF, 18)
Selected by Toronto in the first round of the 2012 MLB Draft.
2012 stats: 60 GP, .250 BA, 5 HR, 18 RBI, 25 SB, .741 OPS (Combined Rookie Ball and A-)
The speedy outfielder made a quick jump through the Jays system once under contract. Davis stole 18 bases and scored 30 runs in the Gulf Coast League before a torrid 12-game promotion in Bluefield (.340 average with six steals) earned him a trip to Vancouver. He struggled in five games in Low-A ball, but the fact that he's seen two promotions in two months should be encouraging to the Jays that their top 2012 pick is on the right track.
Noah Syndergaard (RHP, 20)
2012 stats: 7-3, 82.1 IP, 3.06 ERA, 100 K, 1.142 WHIP (Lansing, A)
The towering Texan remains one of the Jays most impressive and imposing prospects. With a K-to-Walk ratio of almost 4:1 and producing twice as many ground ball outs as he does pop-ups, the 6'5" righty had a solid year with Lansing. Syndergaard was lights-out in August with a 0.84 ERA finishing the season with a one-hit, nine strikeout performance over five innings against South Bend.
Best of the Rest:
Travis d'Arnaud (C, 23) - Acquired from Philadelphia in exchange for Roy Halladay (12/16/09).
2012 stats: 67 GP, .333 BA, 16 HR, 52 RBI, .975 OPS (Las Vegas, AAA)
Daniel Norris (LHP, 19) - Selected by Toronto in the second round of the 2011 MLB Draft.
2012 stats: 2-4, 42.2 IP, 8.44 ERA, 43 K, 18 BB, 1.781 WHIP (Rookie Ball, A- combined)
Marcus Stroman (RHP, 21) - Selected by Toronto in the first round of the 2012 MLB Draft.
2012 stats: 3-0, 19.1 IP, 3.26 ERA, 23 K, 9 BB, 1.293 WHIP (Combined AA, A-)
Kevin Pillar (OF, 23) - Selected by Toronto in the 32nd round of the 2011 MLB Draft.
2012 stats: 128 GP, .374 BA, 6 HR, 91 RBI, .813 OPS, 51/60 SB (Combined A, A+) - Pillar was named MVP of the Midwest League for his season with Lansing.
2012 stats: 1-0, 19.2 IP, 3.20 ERA, 25 K, 9 BB, 1.169 WHIP (Vancouver, A-)
Mike McDade (1B, 23) - Selected by Toronto in the sixth round of the 2007 MLB Draft.
2012 stats: 118 GP, .285 BA, 17 HR, 67 RBI, .806 OPS (Combined AA, AAA)
Adonys Cardona (RHP, 18) - Signed as an International free agent from Venezuela (07/07/10).
2012 stats: 8 GP, 15.2 IP, 6.32 ERA, 20 K, 12 BB, 1.437 WHIP (Gulf Coast League)
Chase DeJong (LHP, 18) - Selected by Toronto in the second round of the 2012 MLB Draft.
2012 stats: 1-0, 12 IP, 1.50 ERA, 15 K, 1 BB, 0.667 WHIP (Gulf Coast, Rookie)

The Spring 2014 issue of The Newberry Magazine displays a cross-section of the various programs and developments that have characterized life at the Newberry during the past year. Included are discussions of the Newberry's continued commitment to collecting materials relating to music and to dance history; scholarly programs that took ambulatory approaches to exploring Chicago's literary and architectural history; and the culmination of a three-year project that cataloged some 27,000 French political pamphlets.
These efforts foster a reciprocal dynamic in which the Newberry works to provide opportunities for scholarship and lifelong learning, while our users, through their engagement with collection items or participation in public programs, help lay the ground work for further enrichment. It is this community of learning that fulfills the Newberry's mission and augments the rich cultural heritage that we preserve.

For those who like concerning themselves with the specific details of professional athlete contracts, here is the skinny on the deal Josh Freeman got after yesterday's furious negotiations. He receives a prorated $2.83 million salary which means he will get $2 million for the remaining 12 games of the season. His contract also reportedly has no clause preventing the Vikings from slapping the franchise tag on him at the end of the season if they so desire.
Add up the money Freeman got from the Buccaneers and the money he's getting from the Vikes and it totals almost $10.5 million. This for a guy who, in 3 games in 2013, completed his passes at a 45.7% clip with 2 TDs and 3 picks. But of course that was the result of a terrible environment in Tampa Bay. Greg Schiano as we know had it out for Freeman and deliberately sabotaged him. Bill Musgrave and Leslie Frazier have a much better plan for how to use him. And if it doesn't work out? Matt Cassel.
And where does this leave Christian Ponder, the third-highest-paid QB on the Vikings' roster? With the rib issue, the easiest thing would be to stick him on IR. That of course does not help you with your salary cap, which will need to be shuffled around. It's been suggested that Adrian Peterson would be willing to restructure to free up some money. Nice of Adrian, helping the Vikings free up the cap space to bring in a new quarterback. Is it possible Percy Harvin wasn't the only one who hated Ponder?

A-line with Chiffon Split Front Overlay Style 9V9010 196 201
AWESOME!!! I came into David's Bridal today not expecting to buy a dress, but just to try a few on. I took my Mother and Grandmother and also my two 5 yr old nieces (big mistake) I tried on the first dress that I saw on line but I wasnt't satisfied, the 2nd one was nice but heavy with the satin, then the sales girls went and found this one, this was one of my favorites but I felt it was out of my price range, I did not know it was on sale. It fit like a glove!! I don't even need alterations! This dress was made for me! My last minute wedding will be the bomb! THANKS DAVID'S BRIDAL!!!!! July 9, 2011
Simply Amazing! I went to Davids Bridal on 7-2-11 with my mom and my bridesmaids. I wasn't really expecting to find anything I liked, I tried on 6 dresses all together. This dress was the 5th one I tried on and I completely fell in love with it. This dress is perfect for any body type. I am 5'5, average weight about 165 pounds with a big bust. This dress is absoultely gorgeous. I love the lace sleeves and the beading on the entire dress is elegant. Try this dress on! You won't regret it!! July 5, 2011
Loved it I went in with a few dresses picked out that I had wanted to try, this wasn't one of them! Unfortunately, there was only 1 or 2 of the dresses on my list in the store. The consultant who was helping me picked this dress for me to try and I loved it. She did a wonderful job of helping me and my MOH. I felt so pretty in this dress! June 24, 2011
Love this dress I went to David's not really knowing what kind of dress I wanted. This was the first one I tried on and the one I ended up buying. I love the beading/details on the dress & train. It was very flattering to my figure & was comfortable to wear. The only alteration I needed was a tightening of the cap sleeves, which tended to fall of my shoulders. I had a royal bustle added which really made the back of the dress look beautiful at the reception. Both alterations/additions cost less than $100.00. June 24, 2011

Find & share great dishes, not just restaurants.
Find whatever you're craving, see what's good at any restaurant and learn what foodspotters, friends and experts love wherever you go.
Foodspotters share where to find their favorite foods using photos enabling Foodseekers to find whatever they're craving, see what's good at a particular restaurant and discover new foods wherever they go.
As a foodseeker, you can…
As a foodspotter, you can...
The blue ribbon rating (the "nom") means more because it's hard to get. Foodspotters earn the right to nom foods by demonstrating expertise and building up reputation points.
Noms: Instead of star ratings, which can be hard to interpret, you can give blue ribbons, called "Noms," to foods you've tried and love. But there's a catch: You only get 5 noms to start with and must earn the right to nom more foods after that! The more reputation points you earn, the more noms you're allowed to give out.
Points: We developed the Foodspotting reputation system ("points") to recognize quality contributions to the Foodspotting community. You can earn points in the following ways:
Experts: Experts are people who've spotted five or more foods of the same type. (You can assign a food type when adding or editing a sighting from the website.)
One of our guiding principles is, "Only the foods people love." We believe that when you're out and about and hungry, you don't want to know what people hate — you want to know what they love! We encourage people to spot foods that they like and to nom foods that are amazing.
Alexa first came up with the idea for Foodspotting when she traveled to Japan and Korea and discovered all of these foods she'd never heard of before, like okonomiyaki and tteokbokki. She returned to San Francisco craving these foods and, unable to find them, she set out to create a better way for people to learn about new foods and to find them locally. To build this visual guide to foods and where to find them, she realized that she could harness an existing trend — taking pictures of food and sharing them online — by giving this activity a name, purpose and identity, and thus, Foodspotting was born.
We launched the Foodspotting website in January 2010 and the iPhone app at SXSW in March 2010. Prior to that, Foodspotting, the company, formed following Startup Weekend in September 2009 (http://venturebeat.com/2009/09/02/foodspotting-lets-you-find-the-foods-you-love-not-just-the-restaurants/), where we received our first seed funding and a vote of confidence that solidified our team and resolve to make it real!
You can order "I Spot Food" shirts and pins from us at http://foodspotting.goodsie.com/ We're a small team and ship everything by hand, though, so please be patient with us.
Super Spotters are users whose contributions to the Foodspotting community stood out to other users and to our team. To recognize our first 100 Super Spotters, we invited our users to nominate people we should pay attention to, then selected the top 100 based on a Super Secret Super Spotter Algorithm (but just a hint — points earned were a big factor!). We recognized our first 100 super spotters in Autumn 2010 (http://www.foodspotting.com/people/super_spotters/2010) to help us pilot the program, and hope to recognize others soon!
While Foodspotting is primarily about sharing food others can try, if you want to spot foods you've made at home, simply enter "Home" and choose the existing Home location (address is "Private Location"). Your sightings will appear on your profile and in friends' following feeds but people won't be able to see your home address or location.
Yes! While we'll sometimes emphasize dishes because it's the easiest way to distinguish Foodspotting from restaurant review apps, we welcome sightings of food products at farmers' markets, grocery stores, retailers, and any other place that it's publicly available. We'll be adding better venue categories and filters so that you won't see these foods when you're looking for dinner.
You can submit specific place changes on each location's page — you can also mark a place as closed or duplicate should that be the case. The changes will then be reviewed by our community team and posted once approved. You can also edit the place associated with your own sighting by clicking the "Edit" link below the photo on the large photo page (http://www.foodspotting.com/reviews/1). You can remove the place using the "X" and find or add a new place.

Eyeing the Bottom Line
Construction companies had some of the biggest sales drops for 2003 — why are they happy about it?
Construction may be booming now, but not all construction companies showed stellar revenue figures last year. Of the companies experiencing more than 10 percent revenue drops, five were construction companies: Robert M. Kaya Builders (36 percent), Koga Engineering & Construction (28 percent), Maryl Group (23 percent), Group Builders (22 percent); and Sen Plex Corp. (12 percent). But don't shed a tear for these companies yet. Despite their revenue drops, at least four of these companies reported that they remained profitable by being more selective in their projects, processes and employees.
The most dramatic example was Maryl Group, which president Mark Richards says had a sixfold increase in profits between 2002 and 2003. "It's all about the projects you choose," says Richards. For example, a one- or two-story, stick-frame, resort-residential project the company worked on in 2003 was less risky than a high-end, luxury, concrete-poured-in-place project in 2002. "The latter had more challenges in terms of design, fits and finishes than the former," he says. "Some projects are riskier than others, with respect to the bottom line."
For Glenn Nohara, president of Koga Engineering & Construction Co., and Lito Alcantra, president of Group Builders, selectivity meant concentrating on their own specialties and staying away from general building contracts. For Koga, this meant focusing on contracts for earth work, utilities and roadwork, a strategy that resulted in profits exceeding expectations by 25 percent. "We've stayed with what we do well. Now we try not to be so much revenue-driven, but we were still profitable in 2003," says Nohara. For Group Builders, the niche was finishing, which includes interior work, acoustics, masonry, cabinetry and millwork. Alcantra says, "In the past we used to do general building, but we had to give up that market because it's so competitive." This year, although its revenues decreased, he says Group Builders earned $900,000 in profits.
Karen Nakamura, chief executive officer of the Building Industry Association, says the focus on the bottom line rather than the top line is one of the lessons learned from industry slowdowns of the past. "Contractors had to cinch their belts in the 1990s and figure out how to cut costs. We're seeing companies doing a lot of efficiency studies," she says. The result: Construction companies have streamlined the way they build. Richards of Maryl Group espouses the design-build approach, in which the architect and contractor team up on a project rather than having the owner play referee between them. "We find that we add more value in the process, we're delivering the product quicker, at a lower cost to the customer, and everyone is happier," he says.
Onsite efficiencies have also come from investing in new equipment. According to Nohara, "We make sure we're not keeping a lot of old equipment that's costing us more in repairs than buying new." Such purchases can reduce both maintenance and labor costs. For example, Group Builders replaced its traditional stationary scaffolding with a motorized version that functions like an elevator. Alcantra says, "In the past, we had to build the scaffold, then dismantle it. Then after we finish, the electrician comes in and builds their own scaffold, then they have to dismantle theirs when the other trades come in." Because the motorized version is more versatile, Group Builders can leave its scaffolding up and let the other trades use it for a fee. According to Alcantra, this has reduced down time and trimmed labor costs by 20 percent.
Nohara says judicious hiring helped his company hold on to profitability despite lower revenues. "[In the past], when we didn't keep track of what we can handle, we increased our revenues to the point where we had to bring in more people. When the revenues tailed off, we tended to keep the people. So now we limit our revenues to what we could handle with the people we have," he says. This could become more challenging as work volumes increase. Both Alcantra and Richards say they will be hiring more employees by the end of the year. Nakamura is confident that these companies are ready for the future: "In a growing economy, they're not just jumping to hire for hiring's sake. They're investing in quality." That's an investment that could reap profits for years to come.

Kanye West's soon-to-be-released studio album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is now available for pre-order on iTunes. The online outlet still uses the artwork, which features him straddled by a winged creature on a couch, despite the ban rumor. It's censored though due to its explicit content.
In addition, the tracklisting of the album is also available to see with twelve tracks, marked as explicit. Kid Cudi, Nicki Minaj, John Legend, Jay-Z, Bon Iver, Swizz Beatz and Rick Ross are lined up as featured guests.
The album will be on sale in the United States on November 22. Beside the controversial image which features a phoenix, it also has four other cover arts. The one which boasts an animated picture of a ballerina in black tutu is chosen by Amazon to display the album on its site.

Comments about Hewlett Packard HP Photosmart e-All-in-One Wireless Printer with e-Print Technology:
I honestly don't use my printer that often, but I do enjoy this one the most out of all the printers I've had thus far. I definitely have been spoiled by the "printing over wi-fi" technology, but i was recently introduced to "air printing" from my i-pad and i-phone via this printer and I love it!!! The printer seems to print very quickly and the photo picture quality is amazing. Although I don't print much, I would suggest people checking this printer out to see if it would fit their needs.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

ACC, Orange Bowl reach 12-year agreement starting 2015
Greensboro, NC, United States (4E Sports) – The Atlantic Coast Conference and the Orange Bowl have agreed to a 12-year agreement that will pit the ACC champion annually in the bowl against either a team from the SEC, Big Ten or Notre Dame beginning January 1, 2015, according to sources.
Sources also said that ESPN will shell out an average of $55 million annually for the bowl, which will be split evenly between the ACC and the SEC or Big Ten, depending on which conference has a team in the bowl.
However, source added the deal calls for a significant lower amount for Notre Dame compared to the $27.5 million payout to the SEC or Big Ten if the Fighting Irish play in the bowl.
The Orange Bowl is one of the six bowls in the rotation for the semifinals for college football's upcoming playoff, which will begin after the 2014 regular season.
It is one of three contract bowls along with the Rose (Big Ten and Pac-12 champions) and Sugar (SEC and Big 12 champions) bowls.
If the ACC champion or another ACC team qualifies for the four-team national semifinals, then the next highest-ranked ACC team would play in the Orange Bowl.
However, in the years the Rose and/or Sugar bowls host the national semifinals, the BCS commissioners have agreed that the Big Ten or SEC champion will not be placed in the Orange Bowl.
Instead it will be placed in one of the three other access bowls. That decision was made to improve the value of the access bowls, sources added.
The ACC representative will play the highest available ranked team from Notre Dame, the SEC or the Big Ten.
However, if the ACC's highest-ranked opponent would create a regular-season rematch, the Orange Bowl has the flexibility to avoid that rematch by taking the next highest-ranked team from Notre Dame, the SEC or Big Ten.
The team that was "skipped" over would be placed in an access bowl as long as it meets the minimum ranking requirement.
When the Orange Bowl hosts the national semifinals, the ACC champion and the highest-ranked available team from Notre Dame, the Big Ten or the SEC will be placed in an access bowl instead.
Aside from the Orange, Rose and Sugar, the remaining three access bowls, which will be part of the national semifinal rotation, still must be determined.
According to BCS executive director Bill Hancock, those bowls would be decided by next spring with leading candidates include the Fiesta (Glendale, Ariz.), Cotton (Arlington, Texas) and Chick-fil-A (Atlanta).

Join us for the first ever Doctor Who Tumblr Meetup 2:00-4:00pm, Saturday July 14 at BASIC in San Diego, CA!
So we've been excitedly planning this behind everyone's backs for a while now…
… we're just glad we can finally start making things public.
We've teased this a bit before and started a contest to have a Whovian design the official meetup art. Now we get to say that this meetup is really for real(!)
Three things to note:
- The event will be ALL AGES.
- You DO NOT need a ticket to Comic Con to attend.
We're so feelingallthefeelings.gif that we get to finally meet the Tumblr Whovian community in person(!) If you have any questions, message us! We're going to put together a quick FAQ for when we release the RSVP so anything we can answer now would be a help to everyone.
The RSVP link is COMING SOON. We just wanted to get the time and date out there as soon as possible for anyone needing to plan their day.
Make sure to follow the Doctor Who Tumblr or check the Tumblr Meetups page obsessively to make sure that you don't miss the RSVP link. (prob a few days from now.)
More to come soon so hold tight!
btw if you've never seen a Tumblr 'pin' before, it puts the post at the top of your dashboard. To remove the post, click the pin.
Hay muchos tipos de "Te", sabes? "Te echo de menos", "Te quiero" "Te amo"
Me pido ser tus "buenos días".
Tus "buenas noches"
Me pido ser tu despertador, tu taza donde bebes y yo acepte.
Como volar, como soñar con angeles. Como abrazar la gloria, como acostarse sobre el mar. Como vibrar, como meterse en ese flash. Como llegar a Dios, así se siente cuando estas.

Jose Garoffalo and Todd Pletcher share a profession. They train thoroughbreds.
They even share Barn 2 on Gulfstream Park's backside during the winter when Pletcher transports stars in his stable the 45 miles south from his Palm Meadows base to the races.
That's where similarities end, however, with the exception of a highly significant asterisk come Saturday.
Pletcher, the trainer against whom all others are measured, operates spectacularly on a national scale. Garoffalo rarely ventures away from Gulfstream Park and Calder Race Course.
Pletcher trains the best horses breeders can breed and money can buy. Garoffalo scratches out a living working with horses indelicately described as "cheap claimers," those that routinely pass from hand to hand and race in events that carry purses often in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $12,000.
Consider: Pletcher-schooled horses earned $25,246,544 in 2013, almost $10 million more than those of Bob Baffert, next best on the trainers' money list.
Garoffalo's trainees earned $576,279, according to Equibase figures. Pletcher had more victories last year, 224, than Garoffalo had starters, 177.
Here's that asterisk: When the gates spring open for the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday, Garoffalo's colt Wildcat Red will be the same 1 1/4 miles from Run for the Roses immortality as Pletcher's three or four entrants.
"I feel like the rookie in the major leagues," Garoffalo quipped with an engaging laugh last week before he shipped Fountain of Youth winner and Florida Derby runner-up Wildcat Red to Louisville, Ky.
Pletcher, a six-time winner of the Eclipse Award presented annually to the sport's leading trainer, will add as many as four to his list of 36 previous Kentucky Derby starters. Garoffalo, in uncharted and near mystical territory, will be saddling his first.
The 50-year-old Venezuelan, who has trained in South Florida since 1999, recognizes the odds he's confronting. But he also has been soaking up data that suggests he could be on the precipice of thoroughbred racing fame.
Should Wildcat Red exceed his breeding and expectations to win, Garoffalo will suddenly have the same number of Kentucky Derby victories on his résumé as Pletcher: One.
Astonishingly, after D. Wayne Lukas, Nick Zito and Baffert ruled the 1990s and early years of this century by combining for eight of 12 Kentucky Derby triumphs, 1999 launched a span of 15 Derbies with 15 different winning trainers.
"I'll be No. 16, hopefully," Garoffalo said gleefully.
His luck will have to match the good fortune that allowed him to purchase his prized colt for owners Salvatore Delfino and Josie Martino (Honors Stable Corp.) last year at an Ocala sale of 2-year-olds in training.
Garoffalo, as always, was on a strict budget. He had $30,000 to bid, not a penny more. His final bid was $30,000. And it was the winning bid.
Suddenly, he had a colt — a son of graded-stakes-winning sprinter D'wildcat — that quickly began to flash a talent that could alter Garoffalo's place in the game.
"I've had some good stakes horses," Garoffalo said, "but never like this."
Nothing in thoroughbred racing is certain or permanent. But Garoffalo knows he could conceivably have "that one horse that can put you at a different level" in the profession.
"The horse caught my attention the first time I saw him [at the 2013 Ocala sale]," Garoffalo said. "And I was convinced he was good from the time he won his first race," a maiden sprint at Gulfstream last Sept. 13. "But you never know how far the horse can take you."
"How far" represents not only a horse's peak of achievement but the distance over which he can sustain excellence. D'wildcat, after all, excelled at shorter distances, and no one's going to concede that Wildcat Red can handle 1 1/4 miles or more until he actually masters it.
But the colt combined sprinter's speed and enduring grit when he set the pace in the $1 million Florida Derby and then dueled Pletcher's Constitution to the mile-and-one-eighth wire before yielding by a neck.
Constitution has since sustained a shin injury that took him off the Kentucky Derby trail and out of Saturday's probable 20-horse field headed by Santa Anita Derby winner California Chrome.
Wildcat Red finished first in all three of his starts as a 2-year-old, though he was disqualified to second for interference in one. He then engaged another Kentucky Derby probable, General a Rod, and "got beat by nothing … a nose, a head," in the Gulfstream Park Derby on Jan. 1.
That absolutely affirmed for Garoffalo that he had a shot at the game's ultimate glory.
Thanks to Wildcat Red, Garoffalo's horses this year already have exceeded his 2013 earnings as a trainer. But he hasn't lost touch with the reality of his vocation.
"This is a business where you're struggling all the time, every day," he said. "You have to fight. You have to work, every day. At the same time, you have a lot of satisfaction. I love what I do, even on the bad days."
He's at that level where priority No. 1 is keeping his horses sound. If they're not sound, they cannot run.
"If you can run, you can make money," he said, "even with the cheap horses. You can survive in the business."
Garoffalo sampled the glitz and glamour of a Kentucky Derby weekend two years ago when Yara, winner of Gulfstream's Grade 2 Davona Dale stakes, struggled home 12th of 13 entrants in the Kentucky Oaks for 3-year-old fillies.
Now Garoffalo is eager to be a part of the main event, the world's most famous horse race.
Should Wildcat Red deliver, Garoffalo's stock could skyrocket.
But even if Garoffalo's chance of a lifetime ends in disappointment, that disappointment won't have a long shelf life.

SNP praised Ireland's competitive tax rates, their VAT now hiked to 23%; not such a good idea now? #NoAnswersfromSNP.
While Alex Salmond is in China building diplomatic and trade links, Fiona Hyslop is not long back from the US and Canada building cultural links and Stewart Stevenson has been in South Africa highlighting Scotland's world leading climate change legislations: Jim Murphy MP is sneering at Ireland's economic misfortune. No wonder he never stood for leader of the Scottish Labour Party - that's not leadership.
The 'question' he poses could be put another way:
Jim Murphy praised the UK's economic policy under Labour, UK VAT now hiked to 20%; not such a good idea now? #NoAnswersfromJimMurphy.
I'm pretty sure that he, like me, would not see Labour's tax and spend policies during their time in government as justification for the Tories hike in VAT. Post hoc ergo propter hoc: low corporation taxes were not the cause of Ireland's economic problems just because they came before the fall. Indeed, evidence showed that before the current economic crisis, low corporation tax helped boost Irish economic growth and actually boosted tax revenue.
Unfortunately Jim Murphy is not interested in engaging in a serious debate about Scotland's economy: he is only interested in distracting attention from the Scottish Government's plan for nearly £13 billion worth of investment in large infrastructure projects. What else would you expect from Labour? There Scottish leadership campaign has, however, highlighted their number one policy – if the SNP is for it, we're against it.

Featured Fitterati: Healthy Living Blog Healthy Tipping Point
Written on July 3, 2012 at 1:20 pm , by Samantha Shelton
Each Tuesday, we're highlighting one category of winners from our Fitterati Blogger Awards! This week we're learning the tricks of the trade from our fave healthy living bloggers.
Caitlin Boyle
- 28, Charlotte, North Carolina
Caitlin lives the philosophy that "small efforts add up to make a big difference," and she details those efforts three times a day over on her blog, Healthy Tipping Point. As the founder of Operation Beautiful, a self-esteem movement for young girls taking over the world by Post-Its, we're confident this new mom will pass on super confidence skills to her son, Henry.
Goal Getter "I think about why I want to accomplish a certain goal. Choosing long-term, realistic goals that are health-focused, rather than appearance-based, keep me motivated. Looking hot and feeling sexy is great, but nothing beats being confident and truly happy."
Get-Fit Mantra "I love this John Bingham quote: 'The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.'"
Sweat Solution "I have to mix it up – I get so bored doing the same thing over and over again! My weekly workouts include a little pool and sidewalk time; getting outside feels so refreshing."

Summary: It is the cusp of World War I, and all the European powers are arming up. The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition. The British Darwinists employ fabricated animals as their weaponry. Their Leviathan is a whale airship, and the most masterful beast in the British fleet. Aleksandar Ferdinand, prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is on the run. His own people have turned on him. His title is worthless. All he has is a battle-torn Stormwalker and a loyal crew of men. Deryn Sharp is a commoner, a girl disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. She's a brilliant airman. But her secret is in constant danger of being discovered. With the Great War brewing, Alek's and Deryn's paths cross in the most unexpected way...taking them both aboard the Leviathan on a fantastical, around-the-world adventure. One that will change both their lives forever.
