Servant leadership is the theme of the week's events on campus in memory of Martin Luther King Jr. | January 4, 2010
Xavier University's commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. during the week of Jan. 18-22 focuses on the principle of servant leadership.

But the week gets its big start on Jan. 18 at 8:00 a.m. when Xavier President Michael Graham, S.J., hosts a pancake breakfast at the Hoff Marketplace student dining hall. After eating a breakfast of Graham-flipped pancakes at $5 per meal, students can board a bus at at 9:30 a.m. at Bellarmine Circle to the citywide march and rally that ends at Cincinnati's Music Hall.

At 5:00 p.m., on the Greenspace outside Gallagher, participants will tear down the wall to symbolically break the silence about hatred.

The Best Watches for Blowing Your Bonus
The Rolodex Datejust II
A watch needs to do more for a man than tell him the time. It was true in 1945, when Rolex made history with the Datejust, the first wristwatch to display the date in a window on the dial, and it's true in 2012, with this new Datejust II setting its owner apart with a smooth polished-steel bezel and thick Roman numerals circling a sapphire-colored face. (It still shows the date, too.) The more is what makes the Datejust II remarkable. The more is what makes you want it. And since you're not paying for any more here than you probably need — see: people who throw down big for watch functions that they'll never use — there's no risk of you looking at your watch one day and thinking, lamenting, that it's just too much. The Datejust II offers the right amount of more, and it also happens to keep time beautifully.
Steel Oyster Perpetual Datejust II watch ($7,150) by Rolex; wool suit ($1,295) by Calvin Klein Collection; cotton shirt ($195) by J. Lindeberg.
You will notice, here and elsewhere on these pages, that there isn't much evidence of what we once christened the Wrist Situation: grown men, fashionably dressed, wearing a watch offset by a variety of colorful and conspicuous bracelets. When we first reported on the trend last year, it was a ballsy way to show you're not like everyone else. But now, given the clean finish and confident simplicity of fall style, we see a new Wrist Situation emerging, one in which a great watch worn alone (like the above chronograph) is enough to complete your look. Such things are, as ever, a matter of personal style, but remember: When in doubt, the simpler approach is usually the right one.

Civilians might consider playwrights to be hopeless romantics who stare out of open windows and argue endlessly with directors and producers.
Not so with Matthew Ivan Bennett. His self-imposed work schedule is more like a scene from "Mission: Impossible," but with pen and paper in hand before the detonation of a script or production deadline.
As Plan-B Theatre Company's resident playwright since 2007, Bennett always has been busy. But he's been especially productive of late, with a string of three world premiere scripts about to hit the stage.
Airing Tuesday, Dec. 18, is "Radio Hour 7: Sherlock Holmes and the Blue Carbuncle," an adaptation of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story. Opening Feb. 28 is "Eric(a)," his play about a transgender man, which is Bennett's second script to earn Plan-B an Art Works grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Then in April, Bennett throws a script across genres with "A Night With the Family," a comedy set during the holidays, which will premiere April 19 at the Omaha Community Playhouse, segueing into a Utah production, courtesy of Pygmalion Productions, which will open April 25.
Always playtime • He's already at work on his next script, about the historic intersection between abolitionists Harriet Tubman and John Brown.
"I tend to be drawn to characters themselves drawn to empathetic journeys," Bennett said. "They're usually people trying to see outside the walls of themselves and into other people."
Scenes and dialogue wrestle inside his head, waiting for greater form and focus. Bennett carries a black-and-white bound notebook with him constantly. Near his home desk, he frequently jumps up and down on a small trampoline, which he says gives him access to dramatic dialogue's best beats and rhythms.
"Matt's brain is always running at 100 miles per hour," said Jerry Rapier, Plan-B's producing director. "Sometimes there are so many ideas floating around inside him he has a hard time deciding which one to follow. He really understands character-driven dialogue, which sounds like a no-brainer, but is elusive for most playwrights."
It's so all-consuming sometimes that Bennett said he finds himself silently, or not-so-silently, mouthing dialogue at home while fixing lunch, at work as the assistant business manager of Pioneer Theatre Company, or riding TRAX.
"It gets me some pretty crusty looks from other people, sometimes," he said. "But I remember one drama professor who always told me, 'Writing is the art of talking to yourself without being crazy.' "
It's far better than staring in terror at a blank notebook for hours on end, an incident that's struck him only once so far. Even an eight-hour dry spell comes with its own lesson, Bennett said.
"I wasn't able to pull myself out of that empty space until I reconnected with it," he said. "It sounds bad to write a play from that kind of space, but when you think about it, that's where all plays come from. If you know everything, you're not writing a play. You're writing an essay or a lecture."
From Macbeth's dagger to Leonardo • Bennett grew up in Taylorsville with 10 other siblings, attending Granite District schools. He knew instinctively that he wanted to be a writer of some sort, but it was Macbeth's "dagger soliloquy" that sealed the pact on his journey toward becoming a playwright.
Thanks to his parents' frequent trips to Cedar City for the Utah Shakespeare Festival, he was exposed to the Bard and Southern Utah University, where he graduated in 2002 with a bachelor's degree in theater arts.
"Without a doubt, the finest writer who's been in my classes in the past 15 years," said Christine Frezza, associate professor of theater arts and dance at SUU. "He was the leader of a whole troupe of intellects, and it was great setting them loose on a topic. He's truly a son of Utah whom we can all be proud of."
Bennett's early plays, often staged at Cedar City's Groovacious music store, ran the gamut. For example, his 2001 play "The White Light of Terrence" explored the intersection of religious faith and science. That play eventually led him to bigger, wider projects such as "De Esperienza," a stage biography of Leonardo da Vinci produced by Plan-B in 2009.
Rapier became so impressed with the then 30-year-old playwright's voice that he committed to produce a season's worth of Bennett's plays. Most notable was his commissioned work "Block 8," which chronicled the friendship between a young Japanese-American man and an older female librarian at Utah's Topaz internment camp during WW II. That play brought tears to the eyes of some in the audience, Rapier remembers.
Bennett's penchant for characters under pressure, or behaving in unexpected ways, provides a narrative thread through his work, including his radio play adaptation of "Sherlock Holmes and the Blue Carbuncle."
"It's less black-and-white than many of the stories because the criminal isn't clearly a bad man, just a regular guy who's tempted by the possibility of instant great wealth," Bennett writes on Plan-B's website.
Rewrite, right • His ode to society's outsiders, or those who behave outside its norms, continues in "Eric(a)," his 60-minute play that he describes as a "story of when [a man] fell for a woman for the first time." With local actor Teresa Sanderson in the role, the work stems from an earlier play Bennett worked on for months, until shelving it in frustration.
Even when he picked up the theme once more, Bennett found himself humbled at every turn. To write a play about how transgender people "were people, too" was too naive. It wasn't until a transgender person challenged his idea asking Bennett how, beyond his chromosomal makeup, he knew he was, in fact, a man that Bennett found an entry point into the play.
Rapier said the number of rewrites that the play required might have hurt the work for another writer. In refusing to let go of his original subject matter, Bennett said he learned a profound lesson about the nature of crafting a narrative for the stage.
"Writing a play is a lot like trying to control someone 100 percent of the time," he said. "You can't control it that way and expect it to live and connect with other people. It's terrifying that way."

My question is whether it'd be good to get the site set up based on existing classified or matchmaking script/software, with any necessary customisations – and if so, which one people would recommend – or whether it's best to have this programmed from the ground up.
Here a brief description of what the site should do:
Membership website where members look for offers from other members while offering something to swap.
Members post what they have to offer and at the same time post what they are looking for (wanted) – for which they will be charged.
They can search offers (what a person offers and what they want should be displayed side-by-side) and if they find something they like make a 'swap offer', preferably to someone who's looking for what they have to offer themselves.
The other member can accept or reject the swap offer. If they accept, the contact details are exchanged via the website and all other communication happens directly between the parties.
Each posting, whether 'offer' or 'wanted' has the same parameters, incl. category and geographic location (preferably world wide).
Offers should be searchable by the different attributes that were entered, incl. geographic location.
The site needs to include a way for members to pay for each listing, and for an administrator to be able to
Other than that, the site's supposed to be relatively simple: no member's profiles or ability for members to communicate through the site.
Hope that's reasonably clear. Thanks for any replies.
There are some pretty modern libraries where a programmer can put together something relatively quickly. For example, the Yii Framework or Ruby might be good options. Based on your explanation so far I would guess a decent programmer could have it up and running for under $1000. Of course, there are always details that really never end to have a site/software that really runs like a champ.
I would say it is much more than $1000 but I guess you probably can find cheaper offer. Remember: usually you get what you pay for though .
Yes, Sounds like $1000 or so would do it for you, but you will need to keep that programmer on your team (or on standby) for ongoing hire just in case you get some problems in the software along the way. The worst thing to do is hire a programmer to do a custom job and then they're nowhere to be found when you need help operating it.

Mets hurlers highlight Thursday's cuts
Harvey, Familia among five Top 100 prospects sent to Minors
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | March 15, 2012 7:34 PM ET
Ranked as the Mets' No. 2 and 3 prospects, Harvey and Familia combined to make just three appearances for the club this spring. Harvey did not allow a run while striking out two over four innings, while Familia had a tougher time. In his only outing, the 22-year-old right-hander surrendered four runs in 1 2/3 innings.
Though the cuts were expected, Harvey -- who is also ranked as MLB.com's No. 38 overall prospect -- was still disappointed when he learned the news.
"I'm not happy about it," Harvey told MLB.com. "But I can't make the decision, so I'm going to go out there wherever I'm throwing and do the best I can, and keep working and try to get to the level I want to be at."
Singleton, who is rated as the Astros' No. 1 prospect after coming over in the deal that sent Hunter Pence to Philadelphia, was another youngster sent to Minor League camp. The 20-year-old first baseman hit .333 with four homers for Class A Advanced Lancaster after the trade, then batted .400 (4-for-10) in Spring Training.
"I was extremely impressed with him in instructional league when I came down after the season," Astros manager Brad Mills told MLB.com. "I saw how he played first base, I saw how he swung the bat, I saw his athleticism. And he did nothing but raise my opinion of him, how he performed here. No matter who he stepped in against, he had some good at-bats."
The Astros also optioned the team's No. 6 prospect, Paul Clemens, who was part of the package the team received for Michael Bourn last year.
"He has a bright future in this organization," general manager Jeff Luhnow told MLB.com. "He impressed everybody [Wednesday]. I was sitting with the Cardinals' scouts and they were asking a lot of questions about him. There were a lot of wows."
In Padres camp, Liriano never had a chance of making the big league club but still impressed in his limited time with the team. The organization's No. 3 prospect batted .400 (6-for-15) with a double and three RBIs, though he surprisingly did not steal a base after swiping 66 between Class A and Class A Advanced last year. San Diego also reassigned No. 7 prospect Robbie Erlin, who was one of the players acquired from Texas in exchange for reliever Mike Adams last year.
Meanwhile, the Brewers sent down both their first-round hurlers from the 2011 Draft, Bradley and Taylor Jungmann. Neither pitcher fared too well in his limited spring experience, as Bradley surrendered two runs in two innings and Jungmann gave up five -- four earned -- over 2 2/3 frames. According to manager Ron Roenicke, cutting the team's No. 2 and 3 prospects was about getting them more opportunities to pitch.
"We just didn't have the innings to try to get them," he told MLB.com. "They need to get ready."
No. 6 Nationals prospect Eury Perez was another notable name sent down Thursday, even though he hit .333 (6-for-18) with four runs in big league camp. The 21-year-old outfielder played 119 games at Class A Advanced Potomac last year, batting. 283 with 45 stolen bases.
"Eury Perez is just scratching the surface," general manager Mike Rizzo said. "He is one of our guys that we feel down the road could be our long-term answer in center field. He is a guy that is going to go back to the Minor Leagues and work on his craft."

Safety Switches, Panel and Door Disconnects
In industrial settings, safety switches are essential to keeping a workplace free from danger. Machinery, presses, heavy lifts, fuel pumps and other dangerous pieces of electrical equipment must have a safety switch to shut off power when an emergency occurs. Laboratories also need a way to shut down power in an emergency. Circuit breakers may offer protection against sudden power surges, but safety switches are the only way to ensure that a lab technician can have total control over the power in an emergency. Grainger offers safety switches of all types to ensure that your workplace stays accident-free.

Luce Foundation Center for American Art
Sculpture: 19th century: Alma Hammond L'Hommedieu
Hiram Powers
(born Woodstock, VT 1805 -- died Florence, Italy 1873)
"I see art as the vehicle of nature and the artist as the collector of nature's truths and beauties." Hiram Powers, 1850, in Richard P. Wunder, Hiram Powers, 1989-91
Hiram Powers was one of the first American artists to achieve international recognition, and through his fame, helped to elevate the role of sculpture in nineteenth-century America. Growing up on a farm in Woodstock, Vermont, he had never seen a statue, but frequently dreamed of a female figure standing on a pillar---a vision that was to haunt him throughout his life. In 1818 his family moved to Cincinnati. His father died soon after their arrival, however, and Powers left home to seek his fortune. His first experience in portraiture came through working in a hotel, where he created silhouette cutouts of visitors. A few years later, he created a stir at the local museum by mechanically animating wax figures so that they appeared to be alive. He enrolled at Cincinnati's Academy of Fine Arts in 1828 and attracted the attention of a local patron, Nicholas Longworth, who encouraged Powers to travel to Washington in pursuit of his career. In Washington, the artist modeled a portrait of President Andrew Jackson, a piece that led to many more commissions and brought Powers his first recognition as a portrait artist. In order to establish his professional credentials, Powers moved to Florence with his family in 1837. There he was able to train as a sculptor while taking advantage of the skilled workmen and abundant materials. He invented tools that made the process of stonecutting more efficient, including a pointing machine that transferred the shape of the model to the marble replica [see special installation]. Powers remained in Italy for the rest of his life, creating numerous portrait busts and many idealized figures from religion and history.

Turn your iPhone into a photo and video powerhouse. The weighty aluminium mount comes with a 37mm wide angle lens and an adjustable microphone. The extra heft does a good job of minimising shake, while the wide angle lens makes getting everything in the frame a doddle. We know it looks silly, but it works.

- Will someone pick up both or just the stronger one
since both APs broadcast exactly the same packet, the client would see only one AP (Thats not always true, I think there is channel hoping involved, and it depends on what drivers/software the client is running)
- Will everyone connected to the access point be redirected to the re-broadcasted signal
It doesn't work like that. The client knows if it is connected to it's AP, by sending probe requests every few seconds, and the AP has to reply to this requests. You said that you are changing both the bssid and essid, that's all the client has, to identify the master AP. Now, if you set the rogue AP to respond to clients probe requests, then the client will take 2 probe responses on each probe request, but this will probably not affect anything...
If you set up routing on the rogue AP, and you reply to the clients packets, then the client will accept as the real packets, the ones that come first, and ignore the rest ones (again, it depends... there are always exceptions), see Airpwn

Pieces of jewelry from 18th century Spain and Portugal have a magical appeal. Typically high carat gold, as is this ornate pendant of 18k - 20k yellow gold. Set with forty-six (46) rose cut diamonds, this particular type of mount with its small cones or domes of gold is characteristic of the Iberian Peninsula region. The gem is set with gold up the sides and then burnished to a smooth finish which effectively encases the stone in a mound of gold.
The hand made open work pendant is rococo in overall feel especially with its flow of opposed and lyrical C-scrolls. Finely constructed curvilinear and elaborate forms with arcs and interruptions were intended to subsume the linear elements of the design. Please note the trio of teardrop dangles which hallmark a great deal of 18th century jewelry designs and motifs.
Date: Mid 18th century. Closer dating is difficult due to the persistence of styles in this region and the length of time they were in fashion.

Month of Memories: Demoing for Seniors
Last August, Janessa, Jess, and I presented some vegan meals to the folks at Rose Schnitzer Manor, a Jewish assisted-living home. They were already serving a few meatless meals a day and wanted to use and learn more about plant-based proteins.
We made them a big berry salad with maple-agave tempeh, and a baked tofu mac-n-chee, and ran through the benefits of a vegan diet, offering some super accessible alternative proteins.
They had SO MANY questions for us—and I'm not just counting the seven times Ruth asked what kind of cheese we used. We talked about how they could get more options from their cafeteria, since most of them couldn't shop or cook for themselves anymore.
And they ate the food! And most of them liked it! I don't think we moved anyone to become vegan that day, but I do believe we took some of the fear factor away from some unfamiliar ingredients.

That's beautiful to hear. Way to spread the word in a friendly, informative manner!
What a great idea. Kids and grannies is a great strategy.

A Great Big World Cover R. Kelly's 'Ignition (Remix)'
Photo: Sadao Turner/Ryan Seacrest Productions
By Kathleen Perricone
The day before Wango Tango, A Great Big World's Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino stopped by On Air with Ryan Seacrest to talk about the music festival, their monster hit "Say Something," and they even treated us to the perfect Friday song: R. Kelly's "Ignition (Remix)."
When the duo arrived, Ryan greeted them with a hug … which he thought they needed after the utter sadness of their hit single.
"That is the most vulnerable song we've ever written," explains Ian. "And we felt so alone when we wrote it and it's so crazy that that is the song that is doing this. We never thought that would be the single."
So how do you follow up such a sad song about giving up on a relationship? "There is actually another sort of 'Say Something' on the album called 'I Don't Want to Love Anybody Else.' That's like my 'Say Something,'" explains Chad. "There's no happy ending."
As for Wango Tango this Saturday, Chad reveals, "Apparently the stage is super cool. Its like a rotating stage … that's awesome!" And of course, pregnant Christina Aguilera will be there with the duo to add her vocals to "Say Something," which Chad says will only be the fourth time he's performed it with her.
Also up next for A Great Big World is their new single, "Already Home," which gives Chad the chance to finally show off his vocal talents.
"It's really funny," he says, "because we started A Great Big World because both of us sang on 95 percent of the songs, except for "Say Something" and then "Say Something" was the song that took off."

In addition to the music, Chad also had a little celeb gossip for us! On New Year's Eve, he ran into none other than Maroon 5's Adam Levine.
"It was the first time that we were really meeting Adam after The Voice performance, which you really didn't meet him, you just kind of saw him from afar and waved. So Vegas for New Years was the first time we met him and he invited us to his after-party and … Ian do you want to take this?"
"David Copperfield was there, so we were all freaking out," explains Ian. "First of all he was with a woman and Chad walks up to and is like 'Is this the woman you cut in half?' and he was like, 'No, she is the mother of my children.' And then he sees Adam for the first time and jumps up to him, not like, 'Thank you for having us' … he's like, 'Dude, David Copperfield!'"

Kubota Corporation has appointed Masato Yoshikawa as the new President of Kubota Tractor Corporation (KTC), based in Torrance, Calif. Yoshikawa is a 32-year Kubota veteran and most recently held the position of General Manager, Corporate Planning & Control Department for Kubota Corporation, headquartered in Osaka, Japan.
During his tenure with Kubota, Yoshikawa has spent nearly 13 years in U.S.-based assignments, most recently as President, Kubota Credit Corporation, from 2003-2007. In that capacity, Yoshikawa played a significant role in developing the retail credit segment of KTC's business, which has greatly influenced the company's growth in recent years.
"Kubota Tractor Corporation has experienced tremendous growth over the last few decades and I am proud to be a part of its history," explains Yoshikawa. He follows former KTC President, Yuichi (Ken) Kitao, who served as president from January 2011 to October 2013, prior to his recent appointment as General Manager, Farm and Utility Machinery Division for Kubota Corporation.
Acknowledging KTC's successive record years under Kitao's leadership, Yoshikawa adds, "KTC's business growth has great momentum due to a forward-looking and tactical company vision, combined with continuous innovation and expansion of Kubota product offerings. Our recent introduction of Kubota Hay Tools and Spreaders, for example, will both enable our dealers to expand their individual businesses, and also provide our valued customers with comprehensive, trusted Kubota product solutions, all in one place."
Noting Kubota's recent expansion of its utility vehicle and zero turn mower business with the introduction of its RTV X-Series and Z700-Series last month, and highlighting the company's renewed focus on its construction equipment business, Yoshikawa concludes, "We are committed to continuously innovating our products and processes to meet our customers' needs, and I am confident that in doing so, we will continue to strengthen Kubota's brand and position in the U.S. marketplace."

Shopping Guide: 10 Sweaters to Carry You Into Fall
In a quiet revolt against the rampant peacocking of recent years, in which men's style was driven mainly by ADDITION — piling on layers, patterns, and colors — this fall is about style through SUBTRACTION: clearing away clutter and whimsy and focusing on the tried-and-true, like these inky-black cap-toe oxfords from John Lobb, which are the bedrock of a considered wardrobe. Crafted mainly by hand in the company's Northampton, England, workshops, these calfskin lace-ups offer the long profile of a classic oxford — the quarter (the part with the laces) slides under the vamp (the front part of the shoe) and results in a streamlined silhouette — with a rigorous, no-frills aesthetic that is interrupted only by the subtle double-stitching across the cap. After walking a few miles in them, everything else kicking around your closet will just seem frivolous.
Leather shoes ($1,265) by John Lobb.
For decades, men have relied on the leather bomber jacket as the closing argument of a casual outfit — throw it over a T-shirt or sweater and, like that, what began as a lazy Saturday afternoon uniform becomes something altogether more imposing. All because of one powerful (and, yes, simple) article of clothing. This bomber jacket from Ralph Lauren's Black Label Denim line can do that for you, except it's not leather. It's denim. Lauren's craftsmen hand-apply heavy wax coatings to a dense cotton-twill cloth until it looks more supple and luxurious than you thought denim ever could, and then treat it to produce a worn, broken-in look. When you factor in the short, cropped fit and shearling collar, it's an innovative take on an all-American classic and a testament to how one powerful (and, yes, simple) article of clothing can change your whole day.

There's design history — 8 AM lectures in drafty classrooms, slide shows about 19th century textile production, panic attack-inducing midterms — and then there's Design History: the emerging clothing label noted for its chic, luxurious knits for women and girls. One will require you to fill your head with esoteric factoids about the evolution of fashion ("did you know that cable knit sweaters were first popularized by Irish fishermen?"), while the other will inspire you to fill your (or your little one's) wardrobe with soft cashmere and merino wool cardigan sweaters, jackets, textured pullovers, luxe sweater dresses, and soft jersey maxi-dresses and tops. One of the best things about Design History's duds: You can layer them for dozens of looks — from office-casual to special occasion. Some people study their design history. Others wear it.

By John Boyle Herald Columnist
It took a few years longer than he had hoped — OK, seven-plus years — but Pete Carroll finally landed Percy Harvin.
While a deal cannot be announced until the new league year starts Tuesday afternoon, the Seattle Seahawks have reached an agreement with the Vikings to acquire Harvin, reportedly for a first- and seventh-round pick in this year's draft as well as a mid-round pick in the 2014 draft. Harvin, who turns 25 in May, is expected to be signed to a multi-year deal as part of the move. The 5-foot-11, 184-pound receiver was entering the final year of the rookie deal he signed with the Vikings, who selected him in the first-round of the 2009 draft.
This is not the first time the Seahawks have made a big commitment to a young offensive player — they gave big, multi-year deals to wide receiver Sidney Rice and tight end Zach Miller in 2011 — but it is the biggest trade, in terms of compensation, that they have been a part of under head coach Carroll and general manager John Schneider.
Any time a team gives up a first-round pick, even a late first — Seattle had the No. 25 pick this year — there is considerable risk. The career expectancy of NFL players is short, and the salary cap makes finding cheap (i.e. young) talent extremely important, so in football more than any other sport, draft picks are extremely valuable.
But for the Seahawks, who were already Super Bowl contenders without any offseason additions, this is a risk worth taking. Heading into free agency, which begins today, the Seahawks had two needs that stood out most: upgrading the pass rush, and finding a big-play threat at receiver. Now Seattle can go into free agency and the draft having checked off one box, not with an unproven rookie receiver — and, by the way, outside of quarterback, receiver is arguably the toughest position to get right in the draft — but with a player who, before suffering an ankle injury in Seattle last November, was being discussed as an MVP candidate.
Prior to that Nov. 4 game against the Vikings, Carroll was asked about Harvin, and he talked about how he tried to bring Harvin to USC — Harvin opted to play at Florida. It was clear hearing Carroll rave about Harvin that he still viewed the receiver as one of the game's best and most unique playmakers.
"He's a fantastic player," Carroll said. "He was arguably the best player in America coming out of (high) school. So the fact that he's playing with all the top guys and his numbers are on top of league, that's fitting."
And yes, Harvin had a reputation of being a difficult personality in Minnesota, hence the trade, but Carroll and Schneider have earned the right to take risks like this because of their track record in Seattle. For starters, they have helped themselves quite a bit in trades, adding key players like Marshawn Lynch — also a player who came here with baggage — Chris Clemons and Leon Washington via trade.
And yes, there is considerable financial risk involved — CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported that Harvin's new contract could average more than $12 million per year — but Carroll and Schneider get to take risks like that because they have rebuilt Seattle's roster so well through the draft. The Seahawks will likely be paying three pass catchers — Harvin, Rice and Miller — more than $25 million in 2013. And that's a ton of money for a run-first offense. But Carroll and Schneider can afford to do that because they have assembled the league's best defensive secondary while spending very little. And because they found their franchise quarterback in the third round of last year's draft. And because their two returning starters at linebacker are both still in their rookie contracts.
Will the Seahawks have tough decisions to make down the road when those young talented players — especially quarterback Russell Wilson, cornerback Richard Sherman, safety Earl Thomas and tackle Russell Okung — get to the end of their rookie deals? You bet, but when you find an All-Pro cornerback in the fifth-round and Pro Bowl quarterback in the third, the reward is the freedom to make moves like Monday's trade for Harvin.
And this trade not only has the potential to make the Seahawks much more explosive on offense, it also took away a potential weapon from NFC West rival San Francisco, which according to reports was also in talks to land Harvin. Instead, the 49ers responded by trading for Ravens veteran receiver Anquan Boldin, meaning two of the NFC's best teams should be even better on offense next season (following those two moves, the MGM Grand adjusted its odds to make Seattle and San Francisco the co-favorites to win the Super Bowl at 5-1).
Now the fun part will be seeing how the Seahawks and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell utilize Harvin. Bevell, who coached Harvin in Minnesota, knows that he is getting much more than just a receiver. Harvin can line up as a running back and be a threat to carry the ball or to catch passes out of the backfield. And how scary for opposing defense would it be to see Harvin and Lynch lined up together in the backfield with Wilson also representing a threat to run in the read option?
This trade solves one need for the Seahawks, but it does bring up other questions. Do the Seahawks now part ways with Washington, who has been incredibly good, but may now be expendable because Harvin is also an elite kick returner? What does this mean for receivers like Doug Baldwin and Golden Tate? Are the Seahawks now more likely to trade Matt Flynn because Harvin's big contract makes an expensive backup quarterback a luxury the Seahawks can no longer afford? And does this deal mean the Seahawks have to upgrade their pass rush through the draft because they can't afford another big signing? Those answers will come between now and April, but for now Seahawks fans can start dreaming about what this offense will look like in 2013 following one very significant addition.

We're joined in the game thread by Marc Lancaster. First question for Marc: Was there any consideration of picking up Hee Seop Choi as a possible improvement at 1st? [ :crickets chirp:] Alright, I didn't expect an answer.
1.) Tony Womack leading off with a sharp shot to Bartlet. He's gunned down. Second question for Marc: Tony Womack...bad second baseman, or WORST second baseman?
2.) Felipe Lopez smacks a base hit through the infield. That's my fantasy 2b/ss right there! Woot.
3.) Ken Griffey Jr. in. With Jr batting, Lopez takes 2nd on a passed ball. Jr. grounds out to Morneau, advancing Lopez to 3rd. It must be contagious, this whole make contact to advance the runner thing. Personally, I like it much better than home runs. Lopez to 3rd, 2 outs.
4.) Edwin Encarnacion at the plate and goes down on three straight pitches, ending the inning with Lopez standing on 3rd base, lonely and wishing his teammates cared enough to bring him home. Narron congratulates Edwin and tells him that he needs to look at Aurillia for guidance in how to bat in that situation.
At the end of the 3rd, Twinks still leading the Reds.

Rochester, N.Y. Online retailers are not making enough of an effort to meet the individual needs of their customers, according to a survey by market research firm Harris Interactive.
While a majority of online shoppers (76%) have received product recommendations when shopping online, over half (62%) said recommendations are rarely personalized to their tastes.
The survey also found that more than half of online shoppers (60%) are likely to shop with a retailer that follows up with specific product recommendations based on their individual interests and past purchases, rather than retailers that send generic one-size-fits-all e-mails.
Customers are also looking for personalization beyond the retailers' Web sites. According to the study, 65% of online shoppers would like to receive targeted information from the retailers including e-mail alerts when new products arrive or go on sale from brands or categories they like, alerts when unavailable items they're looking for come back into stock and product recommendations that help them find relevant items while they are shopping.

Fulton County Grand Jury Charges Five Involved in Fraudulent Tax Refund Scheme
On January 29, 2013, a Fulton County Grand Jury returned indictments against Kimberly Banks (a/k/a Kimberly Conley), Monique Bussey, Melissa Helm, Brittany Banks and Shaneka Richards for their role in a conspiracy to steal money through the use of fraudulent state tax returns.
The scheme involved filing tax returns for people who do not live or work in Georgia and without their knowledge or consent. Information about the victims was used to file fake tax returns so as to generate Department of Revenue (DOR) tax refund checks. The refund checks would be mailed to various addresses of the conspirators, and subsequently deposited into the bank account of one of the conspirators.
Between September 29, 2009, and January 26, 2011, 46 fraudulent DOR tax refund checks valued at $24,908.00 were deposited.
The defendants are charged with one count of Racketeering, O.C.G.A. §16-14-4(c), and one count of Theft by Taking, O.C.G.A. § 16-8-2. Racketeering is punishable by five to 20 years and a fine of up to three times the value of the money stolen. Theft by Taking is punishable by one to ten years and a fine of up to $100,000.00.
Assistant Attorney General Greg Lohmeier is prosecuting the case on behalf of the State of Georgia. The case was investigated by Special Agent Alan Dickinson of the DOR Office of Special Investigations.

Drive away the winter blues with these fun, bright toys.
February is often the month of winter that brings with it the biggest amount of winter blues. The excitement of the holiday season has already passed, the newness and freshness of the snow outside has faded, yet the weather is not quite bright and hopefully enough to suggest that spring is on the horizon. Due to the overall "blahness" that often comes with this month, it is easy for families to fall into a lull that matches the boring, overcast days outside.
However, do not waste these last few weeks of winter jaded inside of your home simply because the cold has driven you inside. We have some fun and excitement for the whole family to enjoy that is sure to bring some brightness and light into to your life―Laser Pegs
Our light up Laser Pegs kits are not only some of the hottest, most fun toys available for 2013, but they also offer hours of enjoyment for the whole family. These one of a kind toys are the first construction toy set ever in which once one peg is connected to a power source, they continue to illuminate any other peg that it is connected to it. Therefore, each and every time your family connects a new piece, a little more brightness will be brought into the room.
Plus, you never have to worry about whether or not your children are spending too much time playing when they should be learning. Laser Pegs are a unique, educational toy that helps to teach kids creative abstract thinking, problem solving, math skills, pattern recognition and improved hand/eye coordination.
If you are looking to bring a little more light and fun into your home to help drive away the February winter blues, here are just a few ways in which your whole family can get involved with Laser Pegs:
Explore The Laser Pegs Network
When you start playing with Laser Pegs, you are also gaining access to our fun online network where kids can share their unique designs and creations, as well as build their own knowledge with exclusive tutorials, print directions and instructional videos. You can also share videos of your family's Laser Pegs masterpiece in the Network photo gallery. If you interact enough across the Laser Pegs Network, you can even make it on our Laser Pegs Leaderboard, which features the top 5 contributors to each section on the Network.
Build Your Family's Communication
While Laser Pegs kits may be primarily fun and entertaining, they are also building your communication skills as a family when you play with Laser Pegs together. The overall systematic design of this unique toy appeals to children especially who have poor communication skills, as the light up building set gives them a way to show their creativity and personal preferences in a way they might not have had access to before.
Have Fun As A Family
No matter what you are building with Laser Pegs or what kit you are putting together, one thing is for sure―you will have fun doing so. These toys give parents and children alike a chance to come together and express themselves and work as a team to create a unique masterpiece. Plus, once you have finished with your creation, you can leave it glowing and shining to show off all of your hard work.
Do not the gloomy days of winter get you down when you are stuck indoors. Instead, bring Laser Pegs into your home to brighten the spirit of your whole family!

Alpha-1 antitrypsin testA1AT test
Alpha-1 antitrypsin is a laboratory test to measure the amount of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) in your blood.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed. For information on how thisis done, see: Venipuncture
How to Prepare for the Test
There is no special preparation.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
This test is helpful in identifying a rare form of emphysema in adults and a rare form of liver disease (cirrhosis) in children and adults caused by an A1AT deficiency. A1AT deficiency is passed down through families.The condition causes the liver to make too littleof a protein that protects the lungs and liver from damage.
Everyone has two copies of the gene that makes A1AT. Most people with lower than normal levels of A1AT have one normal gene for A1AT, and one abnormal gene. Persons with two abnormal copies of the gene have more severe disease.
Normal Results
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Lower than normal levels of A1AT may be associated with:
- Cirrhosis
- Emphysema
- Liver tumors
- Obstructive jaundice
- Portal hypertension
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

My little SENTRY safe is the only thing that made me smile thru the days following our fir
I purchased a smaller Sentry Safe while I was in college. I had some pictures and important papers stored in the safe. After moving home and getting married, I decided that our marriage license, birth certificates and social security cards should go in it as well. Then, afte having kids, we decided that their social security cards, first locks of hair from their first haircuts and their first tooth should also go in the safe. We also put in a few pictures from our wedding and the girls. I also collect old money and that was also stored in the safe. Needless to say, the safe was one of those out of sight out of mind kind of things. Not something that you think about every day. On August, 6, 2010, my worst fear became a reality. My family was on our first ever family vacation when we got the call that our house was on fire and there was nothing that they could save. (If you know me, I am a picture freak. My pictures are my life). Of course we were devastated but relieved that we were all together and no one (except the cat) was hurt. We drove 14 hours to get back to what used to be our home. What we found was unexplainable. My husband had a waterproof, fireproof StackOn gun safe that held his guns, my cameras, portable hard drives, some jewelry and numerous other things. The fire was so hot it ruined everything inside the safe. Upon rummaging thru the devastation, I came across my SENTRY safe. To my surprise, it was all in one piece. The outside was a little charred, but the contents were in one piece. My little SENTRY safe is the only thing that made me smile thru the days following our fire. I was able to pry the safe open (the key melted) and get out important documents as well as some pictures. We lost ALL pictures inside the home, except what was in the Sentry Safe. THANK YOU SENTRY for saving those few items! You made a horrible situation somewhat brighter for my family. Without those few pictures, I would have NOTHING from my kids childhood. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. We are rebuilding and as soon as we are done I WILL be purchasing another Sentry Safe. A HUGE one! Maybe evern 2 or 3. Thank you again! As you can see in the picture, my pictures were just a little wet, but untouched by the fire!

Dear Sentry,
This past Christmas our parents purchased your product model 1180 for my wife and me. We were just married this past September and moved in our home… Unfortunately, our home burned to the ground… Just one week earlier we had put all our valuable paper and certificates in the Fire-Safe® (file). We thank our parents for the thoughtful gift and who would have known just how much the gift would mean to us in a short time. Thank you for a valuable consumer product.

I lost everything I owned in a devastating apartment fire in Garland, Texas...
At 1:00 pm on Friday, January 20, 2012, I lost everything I owned in a devastating apartment fire in Garland, Texas. The fire originated on the floor below me, killing my neighbor. For the past few years, I've kept a SentrySafe under my bed, containing my social security card, birth certificate and a few other personal items. The fire completely incinerated everything, even causing the steel frame of my bed to warp and close in on itself. But the Sentry safe survived! It sealed itself shut! All of the items inside were absolutely untouched. Thank you, Sentry, for making this horrific ordeal a bit more bearable.

The most devastating event of my life took place when my home caught on fire and I lost everything including my best friend and companion, my dog Sable. The entire house burned and practically everything except a few charred objects I fit in a small box made it. My Sentry firebox was in a room that was above the kitchen where the fire burned completely through the gloot and noting was left in the room and amongst the tears my heart sank for not just the obvious loss of my sweet dog, but I realized all my important documents, insurance, birth certificate, passport, my grandmother's jewelry, a playbill from my first broadway show trip with my mother, credit cards, check books, etc. One of the fireman went to the room in which there was no floor but a one foot perimeter by the entrance to the room. To my surprise he pulled the fire safe out. It was charred a bit and the lock was melted but they broke it open with chisels and mallets and when it opened it was all there with zero evidence of the devastation that took place around it. It sounds silly, but when you lose everything, to see a small box with something from your life pre-devastation, it was a moment of peace for me. Thank you for saving a bit of my former life. I've attached a picture of the fire safe when it was pulled from the house. I am so grateful for this safe. It gave me a piece of my former life. Thank you so much!

When my husband opened the safe the next day, the contents were all intact.
Our house was destroyed by fire… The attic and second floor were completely destroyed along with portions of the first floor. We had a Sentry safe, model 1170, in the upstairs hall closet. When my husband opened the safe the next day, the contents were all intact. Nothing was burned or singed.

We experienced a fire in our home and lost the entire second floor.
We experienced a fire in our home and lost the entire second floor. The Sentry®Safe was in our closet directly over the area in our bedroom closet where the fire started.
While most of the contents of our closet were thrown out the window into our backyard, the firemen did bring us the safe (still smoking, but still sealed). We were told at its hottest point the fire reached 1500º F. We pried open what was left of the safe and to our amazement everything was intact and in perfect condition.
We are so thankful for the protection your safe afforded our personal documents and photo negatives--after such a loss, that meant the world to us.

Our mobile home was destroyed by a tornado in 2008. The only damage was a small dent that penetrated the outer case.
Our mobile home was destroyed by a tornado in February 2008. My safe was in a spare bedroom and it contained a collection of coins my deceased mother had left plus others I had collected. My safe was not locked but the door was shut and latched. The only damage was a small dent that penetrated the outer case but other than being dirty, it is still operational. I will recommend your products to everyone. I am well pleased with it.

We would recommend this method of safekeeping to anyone. We were very impressed with your product. We were also very impressed with your service. We found the guarantee inside the (chest) and figured "what the heck." We had such a huge job ahead of us, we sent off the letter and pretty well forgot about it. It was a real surprise when the courier arrived…with a brand new (chest). We've told the story often — it made a bright spot in our day and have highly recommended your products to anyone who asks us.

Video: In Case You Missed It, Here's Beyonce's Super Bowl Halftime Show
Missed Beyonce's rockin' Super Bowl halftime show? We've got you covered—check out the video here!
-Lucia Peters
As you may know, this little thing that happened yesterday that we like to call the Super Bowl. However, if you're like me, you don't generally watch the Super Bowl for the football (or you skip the Super Bowl all together and go for Puppy Bowl instead, but that's a whole different story).You watch it for the commercials… and, of course, for the halftime show. In case you missed it, though (see above, re: Puppy Bowl), don't worry—you don't have to go without your Beyonce fix, because you can watch it here!
Read 25 Things About Quvenzhane Wallis
There have been years where the Super Bowl halftime show was full of scandal. This was not one of them. I'm not even a huge Beyonce fan, but even I'll admit that the singer totally killed it (and no, she didn't lip sync it this time). Her show had it all: A medley of some of her biggest hits; a Destiny's Child reunion; even a veritable army of Beyonce clones (for real!). If pressed to describe it in five words or less, I would probably say something like, "High-octane Busby Berkeley musical," because… well, just watch it:
Rockin', right? For the curious, here's the list of tunes she sang:
"Love on Top"
"Crazy in Love"
"End of Time"
"Baby Boy"
With Destiny's Child:
"Independence Day"
"Single Ladies"
Tell us: What did you think of Beyonce's halftime show?
