We know somewhere out there Miley Cyrus is throwing up a foam finger of approval.
DJ Holiday's Miley video featuring Waka Flocka and Wiz Khalifa has more twerking than 4 We Can't Stop music videos combined, but it definitely seems to be an homage to the Mileybird-adopted dance craze.
Several times in the music video, which has some NSFW language, the three of them call for a booty shaking contest, which Miley would win if she had been a contestant…just ask Robin Thicke!
Ch-ch-check out the twerking out (above)!!!

A woman who allegedly posed as a nurse in a local hospital changed her plea for a Federal charge in court Wednesday.
According to a press release by the United States Attorney's Office, Angela Corson Smith has pleaded guilty to a count of Bank Fraud. Smith is reportedly released, and awaits sentencing, scheduled for October 28th.
Smith reportedly forged several loan documents in a home equity loan application to a local credit union. Smith also reportedly forged her husband and her father's signature on a Power of Attorney document.
Smith was facing 30 years in prison, and a fine of $1 million if convicted of the charge she pleaded guilty to.

Internet and Online Services
Thieves have developed many creative scams to separate you from your money. These methods may surface on your computer, in your mail, in a home re-financing "deal" or even by passing counterfeit bills to you in a cash transaction.
Here are some tips to avoid becoming their next victim.
Your Computer & Laptop:
Update your virus protection software regularly. Look for security repairs and patches you can download from your operating system's website.
- Don't download files from strangers or click on hyperlinks from people you don't know.
- Use a firewall, especially if you have a high-speed or "always on" connection to the Internet.
- Use a secure browser – software that encrypts or scrambles information you send over the Internet – to guard the safety of your online transactions. When you're submitting information, look for the "lock" icon on the status bar.
- Try not to store financial information on your laptop unless absolutely necessary. If you do, use a "strong" password – that is, a combination of letters (upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols.
- Avoid using an automatic log-in feature on your laptop that saves your user name and password; and always log off when you're finished. If your laptop gets stolen, the thief will have a hard time accessing sensitive information.
- Use a "wipe" utility program to delete any personal information stored on your computer before you dispose of it.
- Read website privacy policies which should detail the security and control of personal information the site collects, and how it will be used.
U.S. Mail
- Mail fraud is any scheme that uses the U.S. Mail to obtain money or anything of value by offering a product, service, or investment opportunity that intentionally does not live up to its claims.
- Types of schemes typically attacked under this statute include free-prize and free-vacation schemes, phony charity scams, deceptive credit card offers, and promotions of fake medical cures.
- Consumers who believe they are victims of a mail fraud scheme should complete a Mail Fraud Complaint, Form 8165, which is available at the local Post Office and may be completed online at www.usps.com/postalinspectors.
- Thieves will target your mailbox. If you are planning to be away from your home and can't pick up your mail, call the U.S. Postal Service at 1-800-275-8777 to request a vacation hold or make the request at your local post office. The Postal Service will hold your mail at your local post office.
Question Official Appearing Documents
Legitimate sweepstakes companies do not attempt to mislead you about who they are. Be suspicious of offers that appear to be from a government agency or government sponsored or approved. If mail or telephone solicitations suggest you must respond immediately without taking time to investigate the offering, you are probably being deceived.
Don't Pay to Win – Legitimate sweepstakes do not require you to pay anything – not fees, shipping, or pre-paid taxes, to receive the prize you "won". If it sounds "too good to be true", it probably is.
Mortgage – Home Equity Scams
You can protect yourself against losing your home to inappropriate lending practices.
- Agree to a home equity loan if you don't have enough income to make the monthly payments. Don't bend to pressure.
- Sign any document you haven't read or any document that has blank spaces to be filled in later.
- Agree to a loan that includes credit insurance or extra products you don't want.
- Deed your property to anyone. First consult an attorney.
- Keep careful records of what you've paid, including billing statements and cancelled checks. Challenge any charge you think is inaccurate.
- Check contractor's references when it is time to have work done in your home. Get more than one estimate.
- Read all items carefully and consider all the costs of financing before you agree to a loan.
Counterfeit U.S. Currency
If You Suspect a Counterfeit Bill…
If you receive a bill that you suspect may be counterfeit or if you question a note that is already in your possession, turn it over to your local law enforcement or U.S. Secret Service Office. If the note is genuine, it will be returned to you as soon as possible. If the note is counterfeit, you will not be reimbursed, but knowingly passing a counterfeit note is against the law.
Cash Handlers:
- Keep the bill from the passer.
- Contact the police.
- Observe the passer's description and that of any companion or vehicle used.
- Handle the bill as little as possible, to preserve fingerprint evidence.
- Write your initials and the date on an unprinted edge on the front of the bill, place it in an envelope, and surrender it only to the police or the U.S. Secret Service.

Men's Basketball
From The Press Room
Nov. 19, 2004
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State vs. Florida A&M
Post-game Quotes:
On the game...
On the play of Florida A&M...
On the negatives of the game... "On the negative side, there were some things we wanted to look at that we didn't do well. We did a decent job getting back in transition in the first half, in the second half it was porous. We didn't rebound as well as I would have liked to, and we had too many careless turnovers. But, there were a lot more positives than negatives."
On the play of Kelvin Torbert...
Florida A&M Head Coach Mike Gillespie
Opening Statement...
On what part of the Spartans' game impressed him...
"There wasn't one phase of the game that they didn't do well. They guarded, they shared the basketball, they ran a great fast-break and their ability to shoot the ball is incredible. I thought we did a good job with Paul Davis holding him to ten points, that was a positive for us. With all the guys, Ager, Brown, Torbert and Hill, making all those threes, it makes it difficult to guard. The neat thing about their team is everyone is interchangeable."

Dooly County head coach Jimmy Hughes isn't saying his team will beat Wilcox County tonight, but he did tell GHSF Daily this week that his star defensive tackle, Montravius Adams, does well against the spread offense, which Wilcox employs.
"We can get him in places in spread sets where you can't double him unless it comes from a back, and I'd take Montravius against any running back trying to block him," Hughes said. "We can put him on the edge, even stand him up sometimes and bring him from linebacker, getting him a running start. It's easier for him to play that kind of stuff because you don't see doubles as much."
The Dooly-Wilcox game, between rival schools 25 miles apart, is one of the most interesting matchups this week. Wilcox is No. 2 in Class A. Dooly is No. 8.
Both have players in the GHSF Daily state Player of the Year Watch. Adams stands at No. 5, while Wilcox County quarterback Makail Grace is No. 9.
Adams was a no-brainer Atlanta Journal-Constitution Super 11 pick. He is rated as the nation's No. 1 defensive tackle by Scout and 247Sports, but Super 11 players must also have a track record of success on the high school field. This season in two games, he has 17 tackles, six assists, five tackles for losses, two sacks, a forced fumble and a touchdown rushing. In 2011, he had 44 tackles for losses and more than 20 sacks in 11 games (7-4 finish).
"Some of this stuff is hard to believe, but we went back and went through [film] again because I wondered if it was true," Hughes said. "It took me a couple of days. All the stats were within a play one way or the other. He runs so well. He's 300 pounds, 6-4, bigger than he was last year. He's as good as I've ever seen."

Does How You Read Affect What You Read?
In the same part of the brain that feels compelled to clean your apartment before you host company, you might think twice about what your reading library says about you. But that kind of self-inspection only happened in the old days when your literary choices were broadcast on book spines across your shelves—now, eReaders and eBooks keep your reading habits hidden. Can you guess what embarrassing literary genres are thriving under the privacy shade of digital books?
According to this article on the Economist, romance novels and crime blockbusters are becoming especially popular with the rise in eBooks. These un-intellectual guilty-pleasure genres can be enjoyed without abandon now that your books covers are hidden within the digital walls of your Kindle, iPad or Nook.
At the same time, easy access to eBooks is able to widen your literary scope. In my case, I love the risk-free ability to download book samples on my Nook Color—often the first chapter or several pages of a book—to take titles for a test drive. It's allowed me to explore new genres almost every day from the (dis)comfort of a subway train, whether or not I have a chance to visit a brick-and-mortar bookstore.
The retail landscape of eBook sales has also seemingly had an effect on what people are reading. Previously, customers looking to buy a particular title might be limited to a $25 hard cover book, if it was the first edition released. Now, most new titles are available on Amazon the same day they're shipped to stores, often at a steep discount.
What about you? Are you finding that making the move to reading eBooks has had an effect on what titles you choose? Why? Tell us in the comments!

I don't think the move to e-books has changed what I am reading, but it is nice to have less people in the airport asking you what you are reading.
I recently started reading a hardback that I checked out from our work library. I was surprised how much I disliked it - it was heavy, I couldn't use the dictionary to look up a word or two and I couldn't search for the name of a minor character as easily as an e-book would allow.
"These un-intellectual guilty-pleasure genres [...]"
Seriously? Damn, what are *you* reading for making for a judgement-filled statement?
And while I'm at it, I'm sure you meant that those 'un-intellectual' books can be read *with* abandon, and not without.
One way or another, I've never been ashamed of my reads and too bad for the other people on the bus if my book covers bothered them.
What has changed about my reading habit is that I read more. I always have a little library on my phone, all day, every day, so I am always prepared if some unexpected free time presents itself. I am finally almost done with Shelby Foot's The Civil War: A Narrative, an enormous three volumes that always seemed daunting in their physical form. As ebooks, they made for surprisingly quick reading.
Also, I have read more "classics" over the last couple of years. They are free! (Thanks, Michael Hart and Project Gutenberg. Rest easy, friend.)
I started reading more when I bought my Kindle for a trip abroad. I also have the iPhone app which is great. I do most of my reading on the Kindle, but if I have to sit through a boring seminar, I can usually read a bit.
I absolutely love the ability to search for minor characters. I am awful with names and this really helps since it allows me to get the context quickly. I haven't read my non-fiction or biography on the Kindle, but I know when I read a few "real" books from that genre, the search would have made a huge difference.
I love that by having a Kindle and buying e-books I can have all of my books with me at all times.
I might be reading them on the Kindle on my phone or at my computer, it's all good.
I still read the same types of books, I've always been big into mysteries and science fiction / fantasy.
Having a Kindle has indeed changed my reading habits. I like downloading previews and reading them at my leisure- no more snap judgments which I gravitated toward at the bookstore or library. Also, I've surprised myself by reading a lot more older books- because some of them are free, sure, but more anything I find myself more attracted to their language than most modern fiction writers.
Also, I have to agree with another commenter, large tomes are a lot less intimidating in electronic format. I'm whizzing through The Brothers Karamazov at record speed, whereas the print version always intimidated me. Having a dictionary built in makes it even easier. Can Ulysses be far behind?
The Economist article states that, "the biggest problem, though, is the gradual disappearance of the shop window" and that really is the biggest argument we've all been facing: whether holding a book changes how you perceive it. I won't buy a book without reading the first few pages; that capability has been on Amazon.com for a long time, but only on a limited number of titles. It's the publishers or platforms that allow you to sample the product before you purchase that will survive and flourish. This is part of a pendulum, though. At some point we will swing in another direction. Humanity always does.
Absolutely. My Kindle is for fun. But if I need to study or learn something, I need paper, and sticky notes, and 17 book markers, and and and ...

[008] Magazines & Scans > 2012 – November: Glamour UK
Christina Hendricks is on the cover of the November 2012 TV special issue of Glamour UK magazine.
The 37-year-old actress looked stunning in an orange floral dress for the Walter Chin shot front page while dishing about everything from her love life to how "Mad Men" changed her career.
On "Mad Men:"
"It's completely changed my career. Instead of people wondering who you are, you walk in and they say, "I love your show". It's a nice way to start an audition."
On her husband Geoffrey Arend:
"It just became very obvious to me, I was smitten. He makes me laugh and he's my best friend and I would always rather be with him than not, so those are pretty good indications."
On her career outside of "Mad Men:"
"I hate to ever think of it finishing. I have concerns about finding something I'm going to fall in love with as much. I've got a couple of things lined up for the next break, and I hope to enjoy my home and husband."
For more, be sure to pay a visit to Glamour UK!
Christina Hendricks is celebrating the forthcoming beginning of the fifth season of "Mad Men" by posing in a new photo shoot for V Magazine.
Here's part of the interview:
"Oh, I can totally go unnoticed. I ran around all day today. Not a mention," insists Christina Hendricks, star of AMC's 1960s period series Mad Men. "In Los Angeles you know the neighborhoods where you're more likely to get noticed. And then you probably put on lipstick."
It's difficult to accept that after four seasons of embodying Joan Harris (née Holloway)—the efficient, famously voluptuous office manager who thanklessly presides over Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce wearing a parade of wiggle dresses—Hendricks could still enjoy anonymity. Fans will surely be looking for her when Mad Men returns on March 25th, eager to discover more about her character's unexpected pregnancy. "It probably surprised a lot of people. It certainly surprised me," she says. "Joan certainly has motherly instincts—at least in a bossy way." Hendricks is more savvy now than she was when Mad Men introduced its distinctive brand of cerebral, obsessively art-directed drama. For example, she no longer turns black-and-blue from wearing her character's restrictive girdles and garters. "Now I put moleskin underneath the rubber so it doesn't rub against my skin," she says. "I still get a little bruised up, but I'm learning the tricks of the trade."
Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, Hendricks landed her first consequential role in 1999 on MTV's teen soap Undressed—a Skins precursor that served as a Mickey Mouse Club for maturing young actors ("Most people in Los Angeles have that on their résumé," the multiple Emmy-nominee explains with a laugh). She played a college student named Rhiannon who crashes at her aunt's house with a rapper she meets at a bus station (YouTube can fill in the rest). "I used to play characters more naïve than Joan, who is so sophisticated and…not jaded, but worldlier," she says. "I've definitely learned from playing a character that is so confident and resilient."
Which is not to say that during her rise to fame the radiant natural blonde did not receive her share of industry-issued validation. She can share a proper fashion anecdote dating to her time modeling in the mid '90s, like walking in a Hussein Chalayan show or inspiring a young Karen Elson to dye her hair a career-boosting red. But because of her work on Mad Men, Hendricks now commands red carpets—and has even orchestrated some bonafide Hollywood bombshell moments, like at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards when she lost an $850,000 bracelet on loan from Chopard, and after an event worker found the ornament and returned it to her, pleaded with security to allow her to leave the auditorium and deliver it to her publicist for safekeeping, whereupon the guard watched as Hendricks pulled the 124 carats of platinum-set diamonds out of her acclaimed cleavage and passed them to her rep through a crack in the door. Bull's-eye. "I couldn't put it in my purse,"

[006] Photoshoot & Portrait Sessions > Session #69
On a bright January afternoon, I meet Christina Hendricks at Dusty's, a rustic French-American bistro in Silver Lake. It's one of her favorite spots to eat in Los Angeles, and not far from her home. The 36-year-old actor, dressed in a fetching black dress that clings to her famous curves, strides confidently to the table, seeming supremely comfortable in her body. It's a body that, thanks to an assembly line of red carpet appearances, provocative magazine spreads, and her standout role as sumptuous secretary Joan Holloway on AMC's flagship drama, Mad Men, has become a national obsession. It drives men to helpless, testosterone-fueled fantasies, and women to reevaluate traditional Hollywood notions of beauty—maybe the spotlight isn't only for the thin and waifish after all? But today, Hendricks, whose trademark crimson hair is partially concealed under a snug, black-and-white knit cap, blends in with the rest of the diners, almost. In the dim lighting, her alabaster skin is almost translucent, and as a lighter version of that familiar, breathy voice rolls across the table at me like wisps of smoke, hints of Joan Holloway creep through.
When Mad Men first premiered in 2007, it surprised everybody. HBO passed on the drama that centered around an advertising agency in 1960s Manhattan, laying bare the sexism, homophobia, and racism of the era. The show eventually found a home on upstart network AMC, and turned its relatively unknown cast, including Hendricks, into overnight stars. "Everyone seems the same, which is nice," says Hendricks of her costars, which include Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss. "If there was a difference from Season 1, it's that everyone's on their cell phones a lot more because our managers and publicists are always calling."
For those who have yet to plunge into Mad Men's martini-drenched universe, Joan Holloway is a brassy office manager and den mother to all the other women at Madison Avenue advertising agency Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, and a pro at hypnotizing ad men with a glance of those cerulean eyes or a swivel of those hourglass hips. Over the course of four seasons, we've watched as she batted away constant harassment using her own sexuality as ammo, carried on a torrid affair with one of the company's founders, and finally managed to land a doctor husband, though not before he sexually assaults her in her workplace. (They still managed to make their dinner reservation.) When we last saw her, Holloway had transformed into a homemaker, though a danger-fueled liaison left her pregnant with the child of her former boss.
"The amazing thing about Joan is how confident she is," Hendricks says, between sips of Sancerre and nibbles on french fries. "I was never that confident. When we shot the pilot I was like, Who is this woman? I'm not friends with people like that." But today, her self-confidence is brimming. Starring on a hit show might do that to a girl, but Hendricks admits that Joan's sass was contagious. "She's living in the '60s, but she uses sexual innuendo, which is taboo. Because of that—and a very tight green dress—she became a sexual character. She was very openly saying, I have sex, and I don't care if you judge me. I'm not going to apologize for who I am. Those qualities resonated with people, and have given me confidence."
She's a character that, like Hendricks herself, has experienced some of womanhood's watershed moments in the five years we've known her. "Just as I have changed, and as significant things have happened in my life, like getting married and moving into a new home, Joan has gotten married and gotten pregnant," Hendricks says. All of this has added up to a softer Joan Holloway, who once teased a white colleague for seeing a black woman. "She was a lot bitchier than she is now. She's mellowed out and wised up. With the more responsibility that she's gotten at work and in her life, she can't be as flip as she was. There's a lot more on her shoulders these days. "
Growing up in Knoxville, Tennessee, Hendricks had no inkling of the Tinseltown success that awaited her. With her mother, a psychologist, and her British father, whose job working for the US Forest Service caused them to move often, Hendricks dotted the country throughout her childhood, spending swathes of her youth in places like Twin Falls, Idaho, and Fairfax, Virginia. In her teens, she acted in community theater and did ballet, experiences that ignited a passion for performance. "I studied pretty much everyday," says Hendricks of her stint as a dancer. "Then, when I was 15, I realized I wasn't going to be a professional dancer and I sort of had to readjust. I already knew that performance was something that made me happy," she says.
Before she discovered acting, Hendricks expressed herself through fashion. "When I was in junior high, I was sewing my own clothes," she says. "I had these looks. Sometimes they were very tragic. I wore a pair of green, silk, MC Hammer–style pants with the low crotch, Birkenstocks, and my hair in a turban. What that look was, I don't know, but it was kind of amazing." In high school, she embraced goth culture, and the black fishnets and makeup that came with it. "I wasn't one of those sloppy, dirty goths. I thought it was very beautiful and I went out of my way to do it right, in a very high-fashion kind of way." (Of Mad Men's influence on her current style, she says, "I now have a section in my closet devoted to pencil skirts.")

Here are some highlights from Christina Hendricks' interview with Cosmopolitan UK. For more, be sure to visit Cosmopolitan UK!
On being drawn to husband Geoffrey Arend:
"Geoffrey walked in and I was like, 'Who is this guy?' He had amazing hair and was all dishevelled – he was running late and everyone was waiting for him. He just came in with this very high energy. He was just charming, funny and very magnetic. I got his number that night under the pretence of, 'We could just be friends.' And of course I immediately went home and Googled him."
On her husband finding her pin-up image as 'funny':
"It's incredibly flattering and surprising, and I didn't think for a second when I started Mad Men that people would talk about me as being sexy or a pin up. My husband has a good laugh about it, of course."
On her definition of sexy:
"Sexiness is about confidence and individuality. I can't keep my eyes off the women you see in cities like London, New York and Paris – the way they carry themselves and put themselves together are always so unique. Sexiness is about being an individual and having conviction about what that is."
The issus is hitting newsstands today (February 2)!

Christina Hendricks will be featured on the March cover issue of Cosmopolitan UK. She looks amazing!
In a month's time, you'll thrill to the Christina Hendricks cover story in the March issue of BlackBook. But meanwhile, here's a little flash of what's to come.
Ms. Hendricks will soon sail the seas of Madison Avenue once again in the new season of Mad Men, so it's only fitting for this photoshoot that she emerges from the waves as every red-blooded male's personal Venus. Lushly shot by master lensman Kurt Iswarienko, the pictorial accompanies Claire Bidwell Smith's conversation with the sultry star. What's on her mind? "I'm a very comfortable naked person," Hendricks declares. "Not in front of other people, but at home and in front of my husband, I feel good not wearing clothes."
Indeed. And incidentally, Christina's current favorite place to dine in LA is Dusty's Bistro. Perhaps throw back a few mimosas there of an evening, and see who sashays in the door.

Toyota's participation at the Tokyo Motor Show will feature three new concepts. One of these concepts is called the Diji Concept, a futuristic take on a vehicle that that represents the Japanese automaker's vision of seeing a future where "people, cars, and society are all linked."
If those words were a little hard to imagine, the first official photos of the Diji Concept will pretty much tell you what the car is all about. While official details behind the Fun-Vii are still being kept under wraps, the company has stated that the concept will have one unique quirk: a body that can be used to display images on BOTH the exterior and the interior.
Try picturing this scenario: the exterior of the Diji Concept will be able to display messages, images, and what-nots while the interior of the vehicle will feature ambient lighting that can match the "mood of the moment."
Other features of the Diji Concept include a cabin that can accommodate up to three people, a navigation information system that blends with the interior, and a network update function that pretty much allows you to keep all your software systems up to date. The concept also has a "memory" of its own, one that can connect to other vehicles, as well as friends driving nearby.
Talking about a concept that's built specifically for the future, the Toyota Diji Concept fits all that to a tee. It's like an extremely smart computer on wheels.

During last week's snow storm, someone dumped a litter of puppies in the snow on the side of the road in Henry County.
A woman saw the puppies and called the police. The officer found the puppies freezing out in the cold.
Henry County Animal Control then reached out to Friends To The Forlorn - a pit bull rescue group.
Volunteers in Paulding County then picked up the puppies - seven total.
The puppies are lucky to be alive. And now, they need a good home.
For more information on adopting these puppies, or donating supplies, go online to Saving Pit Bulls or Friends to the Forlorn online.

I am so tired of niceness politics, of supposed emotional correctness.
I do not have to be kind to someone who holds dangerous opinions about how people should be treated. I do not owe tolerance or acceptance or the dirt under my pinky nails to anyone who thinks I am subhuman, and asking that anyone respect regressive ideologies just allows those ideologies to remain in power and allows people to keep getting hurt.
I do not owe respect to someone who does not respect me.

do you ever think about just how BIG the ocean isup until this January a giant squid had never been filmed in it's deep sea habitat
there are creatures who live down there that probably no one even knows exist
I don't know abut you, but I can't even wrap my mind around the size of a whale shark, let alone something bigger.
It's crazy to think that there may even be creatures bigger than giant squid that live out there and we may never even know
do u ever remember all the horrible offensve things u said when u were like 15 and u literally feel ur soul detach and turn 2 dust

While conducting the search for the missing Israeli submarine, Nauticos discovered a 2,300-year-old Greek trading vessel between the trading centers of Rhodes and Alexandria, nearly two miles beneath the surface of the Mediterranean. Another project of note was the discovery of the KAGA, a WWII Japanese aircraft carrier sunk at the Battle of Midway, found in the Pacific at a depth of 17,500 feet.

The $3 admission free for adults and $2 for students goes to game referees. Ms. Wexell, an athlete and cheerleader, was diagnosed with diabetes in the fifth grade. She was afraid she might have to give up sports, but didn't. She said it means a lot to her that teammates check on her to be sure her sugar levels are correct. "I'm thankful that they are helping me and trying to support me," she said. "It makes me feel a lot better about myself that they do care."Team coach Lisa Miller said teammates recognize when Brooklyn's attitude changes or she's moving slower and always know where her medical bag is with tests, a quick sugar fix or an insulin shot if she needs it.To donate a raffle item, call Ms. Miller at (309) 937-2051.

OXNARD, Calif. –Stephen Jones spent some time Friday discussing a range of topics, from the stadium's new name to the new Hall of Fame class to the current state of the Cowboys and their injured players.
Here are some of the notes from that session.
• The decision to leave the name "Cowboys" out of the new AT&T Stadium was the Cowboys' decision, according to Jones.
"It was our decision all the way. It was not anything we considered. We wanted it to be AT&T Stadium. In no way were they the ones leading the charge of no Cowboys in the name. We just felt like AT&T Stadium says a lot. It's important for us for it to say a lot to our fans that we're committed to being best in class when it comes to connectivity and technology."
• Jones also noted that Texas Stadium never included the Cowboys name, either. He said they had to be patient to finally get the deal done with AT&T, but it was worth the wait.
"We think we've got the partner that we'll work with and have the same commitment that we have, which is really make this a world class stage to really show off what connectivity and technology can be."
• Hamstring injuries continue to pester the Cowboys, but Jones didn't sound particularly concerned that there's any reason his team has suffered so many compared to other teams. He said players train harder and have better diets to take care of their bodies in today's game, and sometimes hamstring injuries come with the territory when working so hard and playing so fast.
"It doesn't mean we're still not going to continue to try to find a way to do better. Obviously any time you've got guys missing time, and it starts in practice, then that's not good. Of course, it gets really difficult and affects your success on the field when it ultimately leads to missing games."
• One player already lost for the season is
• If he had to pick one young player who's catching his eye immediately, that would be safety
"We felt like he was a hell of a third round player and that's where we got him, and we're certainly pleased we did. Everyone asks the question, 'Why didn't you pick Leon Lett earlier?' I said, 'If we would have known he was Leon Lett, we would have picked him earlier.'"
• The Cowboys will be in Oxnard, Calif., for another year contractually. Jones said the team's always enjoyed itself in Oxnard, and he hasn't worried too much about where the team will be after the contract is up.
• Jones wouldn't rule out some of training camp being held at the Cowboys' new training facility, wherever that ends up. He said if the team moves from Valley Ranch, he could anticipate seeing a situation "where some fans in North Texas could come out and enjoy some practice."
• Jones also commented on the upcoming Hall of Fame ceremony and the selections of Bill Parcells and Larry Allen. "No one deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, in my opinion, more than Bill Parcells," Jones said. He said the mutual respect between Parcells and Jerry Jones made everything work.
He was just as excited about Allen's introduction. "Just his natural strength, you hear players tell stories about it. He's certainly a legend. You hear about all the people who got the Larry Allen flu whenever they were playing the Cowboys."

And the highest paid public employee in your state is…
You'll spend less here on everything — but only if you're rich enough to pay the rent. The typical American's shopping habits don't really apply to the typical New Yorker.
I know the pressure these debts can put on you. I know how angry it makes you, at yourself, at other people, at the world. Why didn't I save more? Why did I buy that thing? Why did I have to pick up that tab when I didn't have any goddamn money? How could I support a family like this? Why won't the world recognize my talent is worth more!?
And so when Nate Thayer published emails with our newest editor (second week on the job), I can see how that might happen. How you might finish writing your last email, "No offense taken," and then staring at your blog's CMS that night, decide, you know, what? I'm tired of writing for peanuts, because fuck that. And if a young journalist in her first week on the job was part of the collateral damage, hey, the world just isn't fair, kid. Pay it forward.
I get it, but it was still a nasty thing to do.
Alexis Madrigal in A Day in the Life of a Digital Editor, 2013 (via theatlantic)
I tried not to read this, but I couldn't stay away. Now I am hyperventilating because today is only Day 2 of my "funemployment" and I am about to dive back into the cold waters of job searching in journalism. AND I'M TERRIFIED. I wake up tossing and turning and thinking "Why am I so stupid? Why have I allowed myself to love something that will never love me back? What does the future look like? Why have I picked something that will never allow me to have an 'easy' life?" I don't know. I just can't imagine myself doing anything else. I tried to do something different, something I thought would be easier and fun (advertising). But it wasn't. And I ended up being booted out because of budget cuts anyway, so it's all the same. Like the author of this column, I don't have a good answer for any of this. No one does.

The first of the 344 lines printed out across eight pages of his hospital bill — filled with indecipherable numerical codes and acronyms — seemed innocuous. But it set the tone for all that followed. It read, "1 ACETAMINOPHE TABS 325 MG." The charge was only $1.50, but it was for a generic version of a Tylenol pill. You can buy 100 of them on Amazon for $1.49 even without a hospital's purchasing power.

Here's an interactive map that shows the median income of every neighborhood in the U.S.
Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks is an interactive map showing the average income for every neighborhood in America. Type in your address, press search, and there you have it: Your city, shaded by income, according to data from an annual survey conducted by the Census Bureau. The greenest blocks—Census blocks, that is, not city blocks—signify the richest areas, typically bringing in an average household income of $100,000 or more a year. The reddest blocks are the poorest, with annual income somewhere around $20,000. All the rest get some shade of red or green, depending where they fall.
No map is without its misleading quirks, but this one is really interesting.

Emily's list: Google's year in review
I was trying to brainstorm a great topic for the week when I started procrastinating and poking around on Facebook. I clicked on a video a friend posted and decided to share it with you (if you haven't already seen it).
Google put together a stunning short video that sums up 2012, and in less than three minutes, it brought me to tears. It's easy to reflect back on my year and think of it as pretty uneventful. Another year at work. Another two semesters down for my husband's law school. Some summer travel. But this video reminded me of my global citizenry in this crazy and beautiful world. It reminded me that it has been an eventful year and that I'm part of it. Tragic events, such as Hurricane Sandy and Syria's uprising, and joyous events, such as the Olympics and presidential election, drew us all together.
The video also shows what we all searched for online. Google reminds us to stay curious and connected. I love that attitude. Being closed off to the world and not interested in learning anything new will get you nowhere. Whether it means searching the Web for tips on how to get out of debt or researching how you can help people in a disaster, it's all part of being a aware global citizen.
Pull out a box of Kleenex and watch this gorgeous video of 2012 in review. Afterwards, I hope you'll explore my list of my 10 favorite personal finance blog posts from the past week!

Ahavat Ammi Ministries is thrilled to announce the addition of Ben Burton to our Global Ministry team. Ben will be responsible for Graphics and Multimedia Design, as well as production and teaching of the next volume in the Cheezuk Emunah Series (Strengthening of the Faith)that deals with Jewish objections to Yeshua as the Jewish Messiah.
Rabbi Shapira stated: "Over the last two years, Ben was instrumental in the successful launch of www.ahavatammi.org and www.kosherpig.org. For us, Ben's skills and talents, and most importantly his dedication towards the restoration of the Jewish people makes him a great asset to our ministry. In addition, Ben's knowledge of Rabbinical Judaism makes him a great fit. This is truly a great joy for us all."
In the first phase, Ben along with the rest of the Technical team will launch a full scale Bookstore and outreach center to support dozen's of ministries and organizations all over the world (coming in February 2012). In the next phase, Ben is responsible for the launching of website for the ground breaking movie "The Sound of the Spirit". In addition, Ben's teaching will be produced on DVD and available in online content on www.ahavatammi.org.
Ben Burton commented: "I'm excited to be involved in Operation Ahavat Yisrael, which is geared toward the restoration of the Jewish people to their Messiah and Operation Ohr L'Goyim, which focuses on teaching the nations about the Jewish roots of their faith. I believe these are two sides of the same coin, one that requires a building a bridge of understanding between Jews and Christians, that all may see Yeshua as He is: the Jewish Messiah and the Savior of the world."

Prosecutors are building their 2nd degree murder case against George Zimmerman. He's the neighborhood watch captain who shot and killed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. The latest evidence made public last week were tests showing that none of Trayvon Martin's DNA was found on Zimmerman's gun. And if Zimmerman's attorneys argue self-defense, the prosecution could dispute that claim by saying Martin never got close enough to Zimmerman's gun to try and take it away from him.
George Zimmerman's brother Robert was with us on Good Day LA with this exclusive interview. Robert comprised an official letter of condolence for Trayvon Martin's family and the public to view:
"I must begin by stating that the only persons qualified or authorized to speak on matters regarding the legal proceedings involving my brother, George Zimmerman, are his attorneys - they are the only ones who will speak on his behalf. My words are based on my recollection and are my attempt to illustrate the original sentiments of my parents, my sister, and myself at the time of the incident. This statement must not be abbreviated, nor my words modified or edited in any way. Furthermore, these words are not, nor should they be interpreted as, a statement made on George's behalf.
The time has come for all to know the truth about our feelings immediately after Trayvon's passing.
Due to countless developments and complications beyond our control it was not possible to individually address Mr. Tracy Martin, Ms. Sybrina Fulton, or Mr. Jehvaris Fulton in a private setting to express our sympathy or to offer them words of comfort in the days immediately following February 26.
If there had been an opportunity immediately following Trayvon's passing for his family to hear from the members of the Zimmerman family they have not yet heard from, we would have expressed our condolences on the loss of their son and brother.
The truth is that we would never take comfort in the knowledge that any human being had passed away no matter what the circumstances surrounding their death may be. From the first moment we knew what had transpired we were deeply aggrieved and in keeping with the teachings of our faith we prayed for the departed.
Our family values compel us to seek peace and reconciliation within ourselves and to extend these virtues to others. As Trayvon's family remembers him, I would want them to know that at that time each of us prayed for him and each of us in our own way remembered him as well.
Moving forward, I pray they find the peace of the Holy Spirit and that it illuminates their hearts."
Robert Zimmerman Jr.

UFC president Dana White handed out the usual post-fight awards to four fighters at the UFC 145 post-fight press conference in Atlanta. The award winners each lined their pockets with an additional $65,000 for their performances.
Ben Rothwell scored the Knockout of the Night honors. His fight with Brendan Schaub was short, but chalk full of action. The two went back and forth, Schaub looking like he might be taking honors for Knockout of the Night, putting Rothwell on his heels. But Rothwell, on wobbly legs, caught Schaub with a left hook that floored him, making Rothwell the winner 1:10 into the fight.

With only one to choose from, handing out Submission of the Night honors at UFC 145 was easy, if not surprising. Undefeated heavyweight Travis Browne took home the honors, securing an arm triangle choke on UFC newcomer Chad Griggs to top off the preliminary bout broadcast on FX.
Having shown his knockout power in past fights, the submission victory showed another side of Browne, undoubtedly one of the top rising stars in the heavyweight division.
Eddie Yagin may have taken split decision honors over Mark Hominick in their featherweight battle, but both fighters should be proud of the performance they put on.
Yagin and Hominick threw everything they had at each other, landing numerous blows on each other that, by all rights, should have left each of them on the floor several times over. But neither one would relent, both of them bloodied and bruised at the end of the night.
They scored the Fight of the Night honors for their efforts. So even though Hominick ended up on the short end in Atlanta, both he and Yagin walked away with an additional $65,000.

The Big Darby Creek is a shallow, gravel bed stream which runs 80 miles through forest and agricultural areas near Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Praised for its biological diversity and pristine condition, it has been named one of the "Last Great Places" by the Nature Conservancy and was selected as one
of five ecosystems to be studied by the Environmental Protection Agency as part of the Ecological Risk Assessment Program.
In the 560-square-mile watershed over 80 fish species, 40 mussel species, 170 bird species and 34 mammal species have been identified.
Over 100 species of diatoms were identified here at BGSU from epilithic periphyton samples collected by the U.S.G.S. at three sites in Big Darby Creek at various
time intervals between September 1993 and September 1994.
Conservation efforts for the Big Darby Creek are strong. Over thirty organizations are working together to keep Big Darby Creek truly one of
the "Last Great Places". These groups, including The Nature Conservancy and the Ohio State University Extension, promote conservation by encouraging
intelligent farming practices, promoting riparian reforestation, encouraging environmental education programs and funding biological research.
