Villa Noto, Sicily, Italy
A contemporary installation comprised of two separate residences, this complex has eye-catching scale and personality. Set into the Vendicari Nature Preserve on the south east corner of Sicily, the house sits in perfect seclusion and privacy in a vast wild landscape.
The adobe construction and soft exterior angles lend an almost primitive quality to the silhouettes while the interiors remain sleek and serene. The space ebbs and flows throughout the three main structures creating a spacious and breezy environment. Each of the spaces opens wide with slide away walls to the interior courtyards, gardens and terraces.
The open plan layout, interesting shapes and stark bleached interiors are punctuated by very minimalist decor that let's the architecture shine.
With a total of four bedrooms and three baths, the house accommodates up to ten people between the two villas. They can be rented separately or together for family getaways. You'll have two fully equipped kitchens that can serve large groups for dining alfresco in the gardens as well as a BBQ for summer nights under the thatched pergola.
There's a rooftop terrace that affords some of the best views of the nature preserve and for star gazing. Mature olive, fig and citrus groves surround the property along with lush native gardens while the oversized pool is a refreshing luxury.
WiFi, flatscreen TV/DVD, iPod audio system, housekeeping, laundry facilities, private parking, safe and alarm system, wheelchair accessible. Optional chef upon request.
Immersed in the protected Vendicari Nature Reserve and just a twenty minute walk to some of the best beaches on the island, you'll have the best of both worlds. Nearby Noto is a historic UNESCO World Heritage site with stunning wall to wall Baroque architecture. Syracuse and Catania are just up the coast along with the famous Mt. Etna.

Can science uncover the origin of everything?
I started thinking about this when I came across this quote by Einstein:
"It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure."
And then I found this talk about the boundaries between science and philosophy when it comes to explaining the universe and nothingness:
So what do you think? Can science satisfy our craving for knowledge about our origins? Or would it be too dry? Do we need to hang on to a part of mystery?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 19 2013: Science is only one way of understanding ourselves and the universe - and as a stand-alone discipline for that end, it has limits. Those limits are science's self-imposed materialism and a refusal to accept that phenomena occur regularly outside the remit of its own understanding. Our own consciousness being one example: Neurons, synapses and neurochemicals can be analysed and MRI scanned ad nauseam - but the huge gulf of understanding lies in what we experience, relative to what appears in our assemblage of material parts.
There certainly seems to be an unwillingness in science to cross-discipline into philosophy, which is odd, since philosophy is a major food-source for many hypotheses. If science is to progress, it simply has to jettison its intolerance of those things that form imperatives of human existence and experience, which really is where mystery lies - and I for one, would like to continue to contemplate life's mysteries, in the light of science admitting to itself it can go no further.
It sounds like I'm anti-science. I certainly am not! I just think that if science is to get nearer to uncovering the origins of everything, it has to be much more receptive towards other disciplines and experiences that might at first seem to confound its own analysis.

Before reading this Forbes report, if you had asked me which baseball team has the highest operating income in Major League Baseball this year, I definitely wouldn't have gotten it on my first guess.
Hell, I might not have gotten it if you gave me 20 guesses.
Believe it or not, the Houston Astros are not only the most profitable team in baseball in 2013, they're on pace to be the most profitable team of all time.
That's right. The Astros, who are the only team in baseball with less than 45 wins, are the most profitable team of all time.
A lot of it has to do with their payroll. The Astros only have one player who makes over one million dollars, which isn't even remotely high by any standard. There are 64 players in baseball whose annual salary is more than the Astros' entire payroll.
Is this a bad thing? Will other owners take a look at the Astros' business model and try to dilute their big league talent in an attempt to make more money?
It's possible that some owners might try to go that route, but I'm not sure anyone can say that the Astros are even doing the wrong thing.
Keep in mind that they're completely rebuilding their team, and owner Jim Crane bought the team when they were already a terrible team. They've already begun restocking their farm system, and by many standards the Astros have the best farm system in baseball.
While it may look bleak for the Astros at the moment, they're set up rather nicely to be contenders moving forward, and they could end up with a situation similar to the Rays over the past half decade, where they're contending on a yearly basis despite one of the lower salaries in baseball.
Also, despite the fact that their operating income is the highest we've ever seen, the Astros still aren't generating the same type of overall revenue that teams like the Yankees, Red Sox and others are producing. So despite this report, it would be far-fetched to say that other teams will attempt to follow this model.
If the Astros were to continue this level of mediocrity, the profit margin would decline at some point. However, since they're on the way to improving over the next few years, they might actually make even more money in upcoming years.
Believe it or not, this is a good thing for baseball. Just trust me on that.
Houston Astros are the most profitable team in baseball
The most profitable team in MLB probably isn't the one you might think

Technology Review :: Civilians have "rushed the field," says David Kilcullen, author of The Accidental Guerrilla, a renowned expert on counterinsurgency and a former special advisor to General David Petraeus during the Iraq War. Their communications can now directly affect a military operation's dynamics. "Information networks," he says, "will define the future of conflicts." That future started unfurling when Libyan networks—and a long list of global activists—began an information war against Qaddafi. Thousands of civilians took part, but one of the most important was a man who, to paraphrase Woodrow Wilson, used not only all the brains he had but all the brains he could borrow.

Washington - Scientists in the United States have said that a volleyball and soccer ball that washed ashore on an American island are likely to be first pieces of debris to arrive in Alaska from the last year's devastating tsunami in Japan.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Response and Restoration recently posted a notice online saying that sports balls were spotted by a radar technician on Middleton Island.
According to CBS News, writing on the balls included the name of a Japanese school in an area hit by the tsunami on March 11, 2011.
Doug Helton of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the balls are one of the first pieces of debris that can be traced back to Japan.
Middleton Island, which lies almost due south of Cordova in the Gulf of Alaska, is 70 miles from the mainland.

Geothermal energy, drawing on the natural heat of the Earth to extract and produce energy, has the benefits of all clean-energy solutions, plus a few more:
- Geothermal energy is the most reliably available. Other clean energy sources, such as solar or wind, are only available when the weather cooperates. Geothermal energy, by contrast, does not rely on uncontrollable outside forces.
- Engineered geothermal systems are less constrained by natural topography when looking for a source, whereas, to have an effective wind or solar farm, the location selected must meet specific natural conditions.
- Geothermal energy does not require as much land to produce its power as do other clean energies. A geothermal power plant only requires roughly 10 percent of the amount of land needed by a solar farm to produce the same amount of energy.
Thus far, the U.S. is the world's leader in the use of geothermal energy. There are geothermal power plants in seven states (California, Nevada, Utah, Montana, Idaho and Hawaii). California is, by far, making the most use of the plants, with 34 online, while Nevada gets power from 16 geothermal facilities. (The remaining states have one plant apiece.) Still, though, while that sounds like a lot of plants, geothermal energy accounts for just 0.4 percent of all U.S. electricity output [source: EIA].
There are three basic types of geothermal power plant: flash steam, dry steam and binary cycle. Flash steam is the most common type of geothermal plant. It takes hot water from deep in the Earth, converts it to steam for use in power generation and the lets the steam condense back into water, which is recycled back into the ground [source: EIA].
Interestingly, deep underground it turns out that some rocks are better than others at providing the materials needed to create energy. Basement, sedimentary and volcanic rocks -- far enough under the surface to be hot -- are particularly well suited. In addition to being naturally hot, they are also highly stressed. This means they have developed cracks over time. These cracks are valuable because they provide a place to force water into the rock. Doing this puts pressure on the rock, creating new cracks and pushing out the heated water and steam that is used to create geothermal energy.

Not a single living person knows how everything in your five-year-old MacBook actually works. Why do we tell you to turn it off and on again? Because we don't have the slightest clue what's wrong with it, and it's really easy to induce coma in computers and have their built-in team of automatic doctors try to figure it out for us. The only reason coders' computers work better than non-coders' computers is coders know computers are schizophrenic little children with auto-immune diseases and we don't beat them when they're bad.

But what Office provides is a language for doing office things. You don't go in front of an audience without a PowerPoint deck. Businesspeople "live" in Excel; its language (it actually is a crypto-programming language) has become the language of money and budgets. For people who do work with symbols and language to make a living, they organize their thoughts into the containers and systems that Office provide. Office is not so much a software product as much as a dialect that we all speak in order to work.

edshelf Weekly - Tools that Teach Computer Programming
Learning how to write a computer program is a lot like learning a new language. There are nouns, verbs, and sentences. With far fewer words than a spoken language, it may be easier too. A student of languages can pick it up just as quickly as a student of math. To help, here are a set of tools that teach computer programming.
- KineScript - Using the same visual programming metaphor as MIT's Scratch, this app helps students craft animated stories.
- Kid's Ruby - Targeted for kids, this free desktop app teaches the popular programming language Ruby.
- ScriptKit - Build a simple mobile app using the drag-and-drop code editor of this iPad app.
- CodeShare - Instead of a cumbersome screen-sharing app, use this free website to share the code you type in real-time.
- Hopscotch - Also inspired by the visual design of MIT's Scratch, this colorful iPad app introduces young students to programming.

Wolfram announces 'most important' project: a programming language that models the world
The power of Wolfram Alpha — the intelligent search engine that can answer natural language questions and solve complex math problems — is being built into an upcoming programming language that its founder, Stephen Wolfram, says will be incredibly easy to use. The language, Wolfram writes, is "a way to go from an idea to a fully deployed realization in an absurdly short time." It's called Wolfram Language, and it's an evolution of what's been used inside of his company Wolfram's popular Mathematica software for over 25 years now.
Integrating Programming with Core Curriculum
There has been a steady and growing call for more students to learn computer programming. As they try to answer that call, some educators are looking beyond stand-alone lessons or separate programming classes and integrating coding into their core curriculum.

Class of 2013: Learn To Write Code, Sure. But Really, Learn to Write.
Computer programming gets great press. Because software engineering is a prosperous, growing field—and because, even beyond the tech industry, everything will soon be run on code—young people have long been counseled on the advantages of learning how to program. I'm one of the guilty parties here. In Slate and other venues, I've lectured youngsters to get cracking on coding. "You don't need to know how a computer works in order to use it—but if you learn how computers work, you may avoid one day working for them," I argued last year.
I still believe that. And yet, when I visit software companies, I often notice that the most successful employees aren't necessarily the best coders. Instead, leaders in the software business are usually pretty good coders who also happen to be fantastic communicators—they've got good ideas about software, but their real talent is the ability to get those ideas across to the rest of the organization.
Why Programming Teaches So Much More Than Technical Skills
"There's no specific place you can plan on going because there are so many different things you can do with programming," Blazes told an audience during a panel discussion at The Atlantic magazine's Technologies in Education Forum earlier this month. "You can do pretty much anything with it that you can program."
That's because computer programming is a study of languages more than of technology or mechanics. And command of those languages allows programmers to control the functionality of anything that is driven by a computer.
This 17-Year-Old Coder Is Saving Twitter From TV Spoilers
Imagine you forget to watch a new episode of Game of Thrones the night it airs. Even if coworkers stay mum about important plot points, Twitter is abuzz with spoilers. Fortunately, there's Twivo, a new program that allows Twitter users to censor their feeds from mentioning a certain TV show (and its characters) for a set time period. Jennie Lamere, a 17-year-old girl, invented the software last month—and won the grand prize at a national coding competition where Lamere was the only female who presented a project, and the only developer to work alone.

The loudest applause during Greg Abbott's campaign stops in central Texas last month came when he said a United Nations treaty threatened the rights of American gun owners, and vowed he'd fight it.
Texas Governor Rick Perry, a possible 2016 Republican presidential candidate, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital with Al Hunt," airing this weekend, that he views Edward Snowden as "more a criminal" than a whistle blower for leaking classified documents on the U.S. National Security Agency's spying program.
The number of jobs U.S. employers added this month probably jumped from the 113,000 recorded in January, while unemployment remained at 6.6 percent, data this week may show.
Texas state Senator Wendy Davis, whose filibuster of new abortion curbs drew national attention earlier this year, kicked off a bid to become the first Democrat to win the governor's office since 1990.
"The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled over and over again that states have the authority to define and regulate marriage."

The Conservation Innovation Grant program (CIG) is a voluntary program intended to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies while leveraging Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection, in conjunction with agricultural production. Under CIG, Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) funds are used to award competitive grants to non-Federal governmental or non-governmental organizations, Tribes, or individuals.
CIG enables NRCS to work with other public and private entities to accelerate technology transfer and adoption of promising technologies and approaches to address some of the Nation's most pressing natural resource concerns.

President George W. Bush's homeland security adviser said on Sunday al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is "virtually impotent" and can do little more than send videotaped messages.
Top White House aide Fran Townsend said officials were studying bin Laden's new video tape for clues to his health or whereabouts, and whether there were any hidden meanings or messages.
But she said there was no sign of an imminent attack.
"This is a man on the run in a cave who is virtually impotent other than his ability to get these messages out," Townsend said on CNN's "Late Edition." "It is propaganda.
"Based on our experience, we have never seen bin Laden use a tape to trigger any operational activity."
Bin Laden made his first video appearance in nearly three years in a new tape released on Friday ahead of the sixth anniversary of al Qaeda's September 11 attacks on the United States.
Townsend said information from the bin Laden tape was being shared with U.S. agencies both domestically and overseas.
U.S. terrorism monitoring firm IntelCenter said on Sunday it had early indications that a second bin Laden message would be released in coming weeks.
It said the next message was to be an audio statement addressed to Muslims around the world, although there had not yet been a formal announcement by as-Sahab, al Qaeda's media arm.
10 Responses to "Is bin Laden 'virtually impotent'"
Osama Bin Laden is absolutely NOT "virtually impotent"…not by a long shot! All the while he remains alive and well he serves Mr. Bush's purposes admirably.
I still find it absolutely fascinating that, for going on six years now, a country that can EASILY detect something on the ground the size of a license plate from Earth orbit STILL can't seem to find him.
This is a person who is also supposedly living in a cave and needs to lug around a dialysis machine for his regular treatments. The last time I checked, dialysis machines were quite a bit larger than a license plate.
Obviously, Mr. Bin Laden is very much alive and well. Could it be that he's ALREADY been whisked away to live high off the hog in one of those wonderfully secret (and until recently, "non-existent") CIA rendition camps or safe houses somewhere?
Could it also be that, in return, Bin Laden has now taken on a new job that furthers the goals of both Mr. Bush AND himself? Those plans call for Bin Laden to keep his minions continually fired up, thereby keeping the middle east in a constant state of turmoil (spelled "a non-threat to Israel") all the while keeping the the REST of us regularly terrorized and, in turn, fully supportive of Mr. Bush's trumped-up "war on terror"?
Sure sounds like a "win-win" to me.
It is important to remember that the Bushes and the Bin Ladens are lifelong family friends. And, what are friends for if not to help you out in a pinch?
Clearly, Osama Bin Laden is FAR more valuable to Mr. Bush and his Cabal alive than dead.
Which probably also explains why he still is.
What was Townsend THINKING ?!?! To make a statement like that is right up there with Dubya's infamous "Bring 'em on!" comment. Even if Bin Laden's in our custody secretly like Keith posted above, this statement is tantamount to taunting.
Bin Laden may well be personally powerless, but there are tens of thousands of jihadists around the world who are not!
I would not doubt for an instant that many jihadists would take that statement as a personal challenge.
I gather from that unfortunate and completely stupid remark that our administration DOES want us to be attacked so Dubya can declare martial law and cancel the '08 elections.
Does anyone remember President Jackass standing outside the White House before we got into this mess saying "Bring it on"….. and they did. Now we are rubbing Bin Laden's nose in it again. Look out
I agree with the first post, Bin Laden has to stay hidden where we 'can't find him' so he can be trotted out every election year as the GOP boogey man.
How much longer bovine America will still be scared of him, I can't say.
Fear factor aside, he's also related to Bush's business buddies at Carlyle Group and they are the ones who'll decide if and when he'll ever be found, not Bush.
Now I'm totally confused.
Bush says OBL is still a threat.
Frannie says he's impotent.
Are we supposed to kill him or give him a prescription for Viagra?
Or, maybe he has a killer erection?
Would someone please help me here?
Did anyone really watch that foolish tape? It's bogus. Bin Laden is a long time dead. He wasn't that important to start with and the foolish politicos and pundits who keep "catapulting the propaganda" aren't fooling too many people anymore. At least I hope they are not. Because if they are, this country is beyond help.
I have been wondering why they haven't caught Bin Laden and today a liberal radio talkshow host explained that there is a symbiotic relationship between Bin Laden and Bush. Bin Laden always has a tape before the 9/11 anniversaries which Bush uses to justify his war against terror and continuance of the Iraq War. (Remember we haven't invaded any African tyrant's country, just those of oil-rich countries).
Bin Laden needs Bush's big bully cowboy speeches to incite anger in his (Bin Laden's) followers. Each one gives the other a reason to exist. Well, if Hell exists, I hope they get to room together. They deserve eachother
Yep! The Chimp got his old Osama bin Laden talking action figure out of his dusty closet to give an Islamic version of Floyd R. Turbo to monologue us all.
Keith: I don't know if you saw what I finally got totally pissed and said about the Osama bin Laden BS on another topic but here it is again:
Oh hell! You have no idea how infuriating this whole OBL lying crap is for me. Just turn over all the intel you have about him and assign the "mission" of his capture or kill to my guys and they will be back in a very short time with him or his head in a bag or proof that he has been dead for however long he has been dead. Dammit, that is what we do.
The fact that they have not given the mission to the SEALs is proof that they are liars and do not want him caught.
Keith, what most people do not know is that SEALs are not just a bunch of guys in rubber suits who spend all their time in the water. Our primary mission is terrorists. Take 'em out. That is what we do. If the terrorist are found in the US, the FBI uses the local SWAT to assist them in the capture. If the terrorist are outside the US, a genuine threat of some sort, and the local government cannot or will not act to "get" them, they are a SEAL mission.
There is no "capture" involved unless they want one of them brought back to "question" at one of their not-so-secret dungeons. The mission is a wipeout of all terrorists and equipment and materials. Everything and everyone is destroyed. In and out fast. We never leave any of our people behind to identify who it was. Deniability.
Personally, I never had one of my men killed on a mission. A few, including myself, were wounded. The last 11 years I was the brass and spent most of my time behind a desk sending missions. But I never lost a man and I'm damn proud of that. However, you should know that this type of mission was and is extreme and rare. We are the last option. But, like I said above, OBL should be given to us. That is what we do and we do it better than anyone.
…and all of which now begs the even larger question, SEAL, as to why you and your boys were not (and so far have not) been given the job to go after him.
WHY is he not being "gone after"?

ALEXANDRIA, La. - For some residents who live near AEX, the loud noise isn't the only problem they have with where they live, they say 6 foot tall weeds are hurting their home values.
For more than four years the England Airpark Authority has been using money from federal grants to buy homes at the Rapides Station neighborhood because of the loud noise from nearby planes. News Channel Five's Nolan Crane shows us why that solution has now created a new problem.
Bob Galloway has lived in this house for twenty-five years and like his neighbors he takes pride in watering the grass and flowers, to keep things looking nice. But less then half a mile away here from his home in Rapides Station, there is a different scene with empty properties choked up with weeds.
"They're a hazard to our community, they look bad, they are a fire hazard. Three, four and five feet tall, weeds vegetation, grass and it will be five and six feet tall when winter comes and when they die it will be a fire hazard," says Bob Galloway.
Mr. Galloway says he is mad that the federal grant money the England Airpark Authority receives pays for the homes and property to be demolished but it won't pay for someone to mow or trim.
"England Authority says they do not have the funding to keep up these properties but it looks so bad on our Rapides Stations community that we're just asking them to use prison labor or something to clean these lots up," says Bob Galloway.
The man overseeing this project for the airpark says he knows some residents are upset but says this is a volunteer project to protect people from the loud airplanes and the government won't pay for the acres of weeds and grass to be trimmed. He says they simply don't have the money.
"I wish the federal government would put the monies up and make them available but they don't so we have that thing that no body likes but we have to live within the funding levels of the program," says Dudley Hixson.
But residents living at Rapides Station say because of the lack of funding to cut these weeds, they're home values are also becoming a problem.
"Well I don't see why anyone would want to buy because there are so many weeds when you come through, when your driving down the road it's so grown up," says Lelia Whitehead.
"We don't want to move but with the deterioration of the community here, it looks like we're not going to have a choice," says Bob Galloway.
The Alexandria Police Jury has prepared a letter they will deliver to the England Airpark Authority requesting them to take care of the weeds and we are told that if after 15 days nothing has been a law suit will be prepared.

Now that everybody is complaining about the menace of Boko Haram and their continued success in destabilizing the polity, with the singular aim of rendering the nation un-governable – the time is very ripe for a full declaration of state of emergency in all its military ramifications to save Nigeria from the possible inferno of a civil war or the continued tragic slaughter of innocent Nigerians.
It is all too well known that the mission enterprise of The Presbyterian Church of Nigeria started in Calabar, in Creek Town to be precise. That was where the first sermon of the Church was preached on 26th July, 1846, three months after the arrival of the Scottish missionary team on 10th April, 1846. And on 25th February, 1855, the first and the oldest Presbyterian Church sanctuary was opened in Creek Town.
Easter Sunday, 19th April, 2014, was Eldership ordination day for the wife of the Prelate/Moderator of the General Assembly, Dr. Mrs. Mgbechi O. Uka.
The Prelate & Moderator of the General Assembly of The Presbyterian Church of Nigeria, Most Rev. Prof. Emele Mba Uka has condemned the bomb blasts at the Nyanya Motor Park in Abuja in which more than 70 persons are feared dead and over 160 injured.
How has Nigeria faired with regard to religious freedom? This is a delicate question, as religious freedom is both the most fundamental of all freedoms and the most difficult to defend.
In a renewed thrust to meet the mission/evangelism challenges of the present times, the Church has elevated the National Directorate of Missions (NDM) to the status of a Board, known as the Board of Missions.
The message is about two persons of many similarities. They were of the same gender, same name and same nationality. One was Saul the king while the other was Saul the persecutor. The main difference between the two was

Business education in store for merchants at 'Retail Academy'
Are you a current or aspiring retailer in Hampton Roads? Whether you own a haberdashery in Hampton or envision a china shop in Chesapeake, a new training program will show you the tricks of the trade, starting in March with an inaugural session for Portsmouth entrepreneurs.
The Hampton Roads Retail Academy is a 12-week series of classes on topics such as business planning, marketing, merchandising, customer service, legal issues, financial planning and security.
The spring session begins on March 6 and is limited to retailers in Portsmouth. (Future sessions will be open to students from throughout Hampton Roads.) Applicants must register by March 1. The cost per student is $60. The two-hour classes will meet at 8 a.m. every Wednesday at the TowneBank Building, 200 High St., Suite 203, in Portsmouth.
Successful local retailers will teach the courses, said academy director Ben Salomonsky, a longtime Virginia Beach jeweler who developed the curriculum. The program includes one-on-one counseling, peer-to-peer networking and opportunities for instructors to personally visit a participant's retail operation.
"If they're already in business, they can ask us to come by their store and take a look," he said, noting that this distinguishes the academy from traditional retail courses.
Funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration, the academy is a partnership between the Retail Alliance and the Small Business Development Center of Hampton Roads. Last year the two groups received a $100,000 "Portable Assistance" grant from the SBA.
The summer session will be held June 12 through Aug. 28.
To register, email email@example.com, call 757-353-8866 or visit the SBDC's website.

This article originally appeared at The Hockey Writers.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs have yet to conclude, but offseason speculation has already begun in several NHL markets.
Even though trade talks have yet to pick up considerable steam, rumors have been swirling over the past few weeks in regards to the future of Penguins' forward Jordan Staal, who is on track to become an unrestricted free agent in 2013. While it's possible that the Thunder Bay, Ontario native will sign an extension with Pittsburgh, he may be on his way out of the Steel City sooner rather than later.
Penguins GM Ray Shero recently indicated that he would like all three of his star centers in tow for the foreseeable future, but Staal may not share in that sentiment. Even though there's every reason to believe the former second overall pick would continue to develop as a member of the Penguins, it may be difficult for him to reach his full potential with Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby ahead of him on the depth chart. As a player capable of skating on the top line on nearly half of the teams in the NHL, it wouldn't come as a surprise if No. 11 wished to join an organization that would allow him to spread his wings a bit more than Pittsburgh does.
One team that happens to need an elite center is Carolina, which is a destination that theoretically would make a lot of sense for all parties involved.
To state the obvious, the Hurricanes' franchise player happens to be Jordan's older brother Eric, and having the two together could open the door for countless possibilities (not to mention create a fantastic marketing ploy). Jordan also possesses the level of talent necessary to fill out the Canes' somewhat hollow top-six, giving GM Jim Rutherford the type of forward he strongly desires heading into the '12-'13 campaign. Tallying 25 goals and 50 points last season in just 63 games, Jordan would immediately become one of the Canes' most valuable assets, provided he can remain healthy.
This addition would not only give the Canes the offensive force they need, but also one of the best two-way forwards in the league. While Rutherford appears to be focused on improving his team's goal-scoring first and foremost, defense was his team's true weakness last season, as it has been for some time now. But even if Carolina keeps their blueline in its current state, adding Jordan Staal to the mix would cut down the Canes' goals against numbers—something Eric has failed to do.
And even though Eric is currently the best center on Carolina's roster, Rutherford has stated that he would not be opposed to sliding the captain to the wing, where he's played comfortably before. Putting E. Staal, J. Staal and Tuomo Ruutu together would have a lot of potential and would give Carolina their first legitimate "No. 1 line" in several years.
Beyond five-on-five, Jordan's presence would go a long ways towards improving the Canes' special teams, which have been underwhelming for the better part of the franchise's existence. With experience in virtually every in-game situation, he would almost certainly give a major boost to both Carolina's power play and penalty kill, ranked 20th and 22nd in the league last season, respectively.
All this being said, a move of this nature would be very risky for the Canes. With Jordan Staal only signed through 2012-13, there's no telling whether or not he would remain in Carolina long-term. Having Eric on board would help, but there are no guarantees in this league.
But despite the inherent risk this trade would present, Jordan's current contract situation would play in Rutherford's favor during the acquisition process. With just one year left until unrestricted free agency, Staal's value will be less than if he was locked up for a longer period of time. It's safe to say that the Canes could get their hands on him for far less than a player of comparable skill on the open market.
Viewing this scenario from Pittsburgh's perspective, the Canes would be a compatible trading partner if Rutherford is willing to part with a valuable asset or two. One name that quickly comes to mind is Brandon Sutter—another 23-year-old with strong defensive skills and a nice scoring touch. While he hasn't exactly blossomed offensively like Jordan Staal has, Sutter could be defined as a prototypical third line center who is valuable in all three zones. A trade like this wouldn't be simple, however, as Staal's value would force the Canes to sweeten the deal with picks and/or prospects in virtually any scenario.
The likelihood of such a transaction occurring remains uncertain, but Jordan Staal's intentions should become more clear as the offseason progresses. If he does in fact express desire to leave Pittsburgh, Carolina may just be the perfect fit.

Listen to the Monthly Aquarius Horoscope and astrology forecast of your sun sign, your moon sign and your ascendant. If you do not know your moon sign or ascendent fill in the request on the free chart page and I will send your astrology chart to you and that will tell you which signs your planets are in.
It is very important to know and understand the messages from the universe. Having this knowledge helps you stay in tune with the planetary vibrations. This will confirm your inner knowing that you are doing what you need to do. Your sun sign monthly astrology forecast is not the same as a
personal astrology reading
but it will give you general insight.
In an astrology consultation with the Aquarian; the normal unfolding of the interpretation of the chart usually is sidetracked. There is something about Aquarius that does not follow the norm, indeed one part of the Aquarians life is to find their own path that is not ho hum mundane and to seek what is different or what will set them apart from the rest of the class and assure them that their life is unique and of their own making.
One of the questions in the Aquarians mind is where do I belong? Who do I belong with? This quest along with the internal desire to be their own person, who is apart and unique from the masses, will propel them on a journey to live and experience life outside of the zone of where they grew up. It is their fate to seek out people that will bring them different experiences than what they would have if they married the boy next door and moved into a home 6 blocks from the high school they attended.
Another question the Aquarian will be faced with is: Are you really my friend? And what does it mean to be a friend? This concern can begin at a young age, do not dismiss your Aquarian child feelings if they are hurt or upset over a friend from preschool or school. A breach in trust from friends can begin from a young age and carry into adult hood. That said the Aquarian has a way of collecting different groups of friends that may or may not always mix with each other, but what fun that can be.
Aquarius is a fixed air sign, this means that the intellect is very important to them, they will identify with what they know and have discovered to be truth. Somewhere in life the Aquarius was not respected or was ignored for what they knew and he or she will be offended if you dismiss their ideas. They are strong minded but willing to be open and engage in discussion if you are intelligent and have new knowledge to offer.
Astrology traditionally connects Aquarius to being independent and not wanting to make a commitment. While that may be true for some, as a long time astrologer I find that many Aquarians are very happy in committed relationships and do not have problems with commitment as long as they do not feel coerced or forced into a relationship or situation. If the commitment is from an ultimatum and they do not feel it is of their own choosing, watch out, it will backfire.
If you are an Aquarius you will be happier if you have space and freedom to do as you please in a work situation, being micro managed does not make for an environment for you to be the best you can be. Having the luxury of doing the job the way you see fit will work out best for you and the company you work for.
The Aquarian learned early in life to detach from situations that were too volatile or emotionally charged. Sometimes it was from a family environment where there was confusion or fighting, and they learned to emotional disconnect in order to be protected.
Other times it was expected of them to be intellectual about an emotional decision, they were taught that identifying with the intellect will be better for them than being overly emotional. This intellectual component does not mean the Aquarian does not have emotions, not at all. It means that they will be intellectual about the emotions and may debate their position on a topic they are very passionate about with a stack of facts and reasons.
Astrology is a great resource to help understand why you do what you do, and why things are your unique trials, tribulations, and lessons. Learn astrology and you can be your own astrologer and use the guidance to find and achieve self awareness and a happier life.
Being in tune with these messages will help you on the earth plane and supports you in your spiritual evolution and awakening.
Monthly forecast do not replace your individual chart readings that are unique to your birthday, time of birth, year of birth and place of birth but will give information that will help you with the overall picture for you.

That's nothing new for Obama. Throughout his term, as he concentrated on policy initiatives, like passing a national...

Statement from Third Way President Jonathan Cowan on the Tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut
December 14, 2012
"Along with the rest of the nation, we watched the horrible events at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut today with almost unbearable sadness. Our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers are with the victims, their families, and their community.
"With this act of barbarity and madness, our nation must pause to consider what we can do to try to prevent these mass tragedies as well as the all-too ordinary crimes committed with guns nearly every hour of every day. The founders of this organization worked for many years to help keep guns out of the wrong hands. As the President said today, the time has come for meaningful action to prevent gun violence. We owe it to the memory of these children and their teachers – and to the innocents we have lost in other gun murders – to do no less."

In the history of the Pantheon many great battles have taken place, some a simple matter of seperating the parties involved, but some showdowns were so large and so destructive that they were recorded in the Book of Tropes.
Pentigan is writing a series of stories involving Massive Multiplayer Crossover battles involving members of the Pantheon, suggestions are appreciated.
A crash was heard over Tokyo as Godzilla started his regular destruction, but this time there was someone to stop him. It was batman, protecting the area at the time, hitting Godzilla with a Bat Grenade, meant to draw his attention for part 2 of his plan. Godzilla advanced, angry and sore, but didn't expect a sudden attack by Shaquile O Neal. He proceeded to start whaling on Godzilla, until he was ambushed by the upstart Aaron Carter, who tackled him off Godzilla, who was dazed and confused, and proceeded to go stomping off in another direction.
Aaron on the other hand, began a brutal beat up of Shaq, until suddenly, Batman was compelled by mind control to run over both of them with the batmobile. He began to break free, and in horror was about to return to the batcave, when suddenly Abraham Lincoln appeared on the stage as a zombie, using an AK-47 from under his hat to severely injure batman in his car. Yet he ran out of bullets, and then ran for it, because Optimus Prime had responded to Batman's call for help in dealing with Godzilla, there to save the day.
Explosions rang out, and as Godzilla tried to topple another building, Optimus managed to stop it from falling. A primal call to defeat another challenger rose in Godzilla, who then grabbed Optimus prime, and took a bite out of him before optimus blasted him away with his free hand. Shaquile O'Neil was not dead though, and he slowly came back up, covered in a tire track from the batmobile. Yet he suddenly became immobilized as Jackie Chan jumped up and landed on his back to keep his attention.
Batman was injured and trying to get steady from the car crash and bullets, but he didn't have much time, as Abraham Lincoln came back with a Machete. Yet as he went in for the kill, something caught his leg and he tripped. Indiana Jones had arrived on the scene, and had tripped him up with his whip. Yet as he saw godzilla rampaging closer, he reached for his gun, but he couldn't find it.
That's because Batman was being controlled again, he shot it at Indiana, but at the last minute pulled up, missing him. Jackie Chan in turn deflected the bullet with his fist, then he jumped in the air away from Shaq in a somersault. Abraham Lincoln then tried to pole vault onto optimus to go for godzilla, but he and Chan collided in the air, and then both were blown away by a care bear stare.
The battle escalated quickly, with Mario and Sonic engaging, Doc brown running over some combatants, and jawas destroying C-3P0 and R2-D2 while Godzilla rampaged in the background.
Then Angels sang out, in immaculate chorus,as down from the heavens descended Chuck Norris. Joining the rumble to determine the greatest god of them all, he delivered a kick into the crotch of Indiana Jones who fell over on the ground, writhing in pain. Batman meanwhile sought to get away from the craziness, and thus changed back into Bruce Wayne, but Chuck saw through his clever disguise,and he crushed Batman's head in between his thighs.
Outraged at the death of Batman, several characters banded together to take down Chuck Norris. These were Gandalf the Gray and Gandalf the White, Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight, Benito Mussolini, and the Blue Meanie, Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie,
Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk, Darth Vader, Lo-Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger, Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan, Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock and Hulk Hogan. Together they charged the fighter Chuck Norris, and after some heavy casualties, defeated him once and for all.
After that, there was a great range of battles and conflicts that were carried out, with the quasideities looking on in total awe. The battle was so fierce that it lasted for a full century. People were dying left and right, until at the very end, with a swing of Aragorn's sword, Mr. Rodgers beheaded his last rival, and claimed to position as the supreme god from The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. He was distraught that he took such a violent position, but the gods of life and death (who abstained so they could just bring everyone Back from the Dead afterwards) told him to keep it, or they'd have to pass it on to more violent people. Reluctantly, Mr. Rogers accepted his position, and assumed the mantle of the Overdeity capable of defeating ALL of the gods if necessary.

The Civil War Sesquicentennial

General Hancock's brigade charging the rebels at the Battle of Williamsburg.
Jehu Grant, profiled in a Yorktown Victory Center exhibit, escaped from his master to join the Continental Army.
The origins of the Civil War can be traced back to the 1619 arrival of the first documented Africans in Virginia. The evolution of slavery in 17th-century Virginia is explored in the Jamestown Settlement galleries. Public expressions of antislavery sentiment began to appear in the early 18th century, and talk of liberty during the American Revolution inspired many African Americans like Jehu Grant, profiled in the Yorktown Victory Center's Witnesses to Revolution Gallery. Grant, who escaped from his master to join the Continental Army, later wrote in an application for a military pension, "When I saw the people all engaged for the support of freedom, I could not but like such a thing." Slavery was finally prohibited throughout the United States with the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in December 1865, eight months after the end of the Civil War.
Numerous events marking the 150th anniversary of the Civil War are taking place in the Jamestown-Williamsburg-Yorktown "Historic Triangle," scene of the Peninsula Campaign's Battle of Williamsburg, and throughout Virginia, where more battles were fought than in any other state.

Delicious & easy. The Pavlova part is tasty enough to eat like a low cal cookie on it's own. Can be used for a casual or elegant occassion. It's definitely a keeper!
Brown Sugar Pavlovas with Fruit
Randy Mayor
A pavlova is a crisp meringue shell piled high with whipped cream and fresh berries. We used brown sugar to add a caramel-like flavor to the meringues. The meringues freeze for up to two months; remove them from the freezer before you assemble the pavlovas--no reheating required. Use any combination of fresh fruit.

- 3 tablespoons fat-free caramel sundae syrup
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw 6 (4-inch) circles on paper. Turn paper over; secure with masking tape.
- Beat egg whites, cornstarch, and salt at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until thick and glossy. Add vanilla, beating well. Divide egg white mixture evenly among the 6 drawn circles. Shape meringues into nests with 1-inch sides using the back of a spoon. Place meringues in oven. Immediately reduce oven temperature to 300°; bake 1 hour. Turn oven off; cool meringues in closed oven at least 4 hours or until completely dry. (Meringues are done when the surface is dry and meringues can be removed from paper without sticking to fingers.) Carefully remove meringue nests from paper.
- Beat whipping cream, powdered sugar, and cinnamon at high speed of a mixer until stiff peaks form. Dollop 1/4 cup whipped cream into each meringue nest. Top each with 1/2 cup pineapple, 2 tablespoons kiwi, and 2 tablespoons blackberries. Drizzle 1 1/2 teaspoons caramel syrup over each serving. Serve immediately.
- Note: Whipping cream whips better when bowl and beaters are chilled.
