All ownership percentages come from ESPN Fantasy Baseball.
There's still time.
Prospect promotions may have slowed down after the early-September flurry we noted in last week's column, but there are still plenty young players who have debuted in the past month or two and are getting regular action over the final few weeks.
Of course, September also means shutdown time for many prospects, including those in the majors who will no longer make any more starts or get any more at-bats (i.e., Taijuan Walker), as well as those still in the minors whose playoffs have come to an end (i.e., George Springer).
If you're fighting for your league's championship, then you need to be aware of all of the above, which is where all of the below comes in—the weekly look at prospects who can impact what's left of the 2013 fantasy baseball season.
But before we get to that, here's a reminder of the criteria for this column:
This spot will include prospects who already have been called up ("Already Up"), as well as others who are in the minors but are considered to be major league ready and on the verge of getting the call ("Next in Line").
To allow for more turnover from week to week, the list below does not include young players who have exhausted their prospect eligibility by exceeding 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched.
Already Up
1. Sonny Gray, RHP, Athletics (55.0 Percent Owned)
After earning his third win Wednesday in a solid outing on the road versus the Twins (5 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 7:3 K:BB), Gray now has started his career by allowing just 36 hits and 14 earned runs and only 14 walks—compared to 51 whiffs—in 48 innings. That means two things: 1) He's been really good; and 2) the next time he starts, he's going to surpass the 50-inning mark, thus exhausting his rookie status. Last chance for this spot to suggest you grab him.
2. Michael Wacha, RHP, Cardinals (29.0 Percent Owned)
Like Gray, this should be the last time Wacha, who has a 2.71 ERA and 1.04 WHIP, is eligible here, as he's already thrown 46.1 frames and is set to toe the rubber Saturday. By the way, he goes up against the Seattle Mariners, which is a good matchup for fantasy owners looking for a spot start.
3. Danny Salazar, RHP, Indians (10.5 Percent Owned)
The Indians continue to limit the electric arm of Salazar for fear of overworking a guy who has a history of injuries, but he owns a 2.92 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 45 strikeouts in 37 innings. Better yet, he gets the White Sox on Friday. If you're looking for a streaming option today, he's a good one.
4. Billy Hamilton, SS/OF, Reds (18.9 Percent Owned)
A week and four stolen bases into his big league career, Hamilton finally got a pair of plate appearances and went 0-for-2 on Tuesday. What's more, he hasn't gotten a steal since last Saturday. Too bad he can't pinch run for every guy who gets on base.
5. Khris Davis, OF, Brewers (24.1 Percent Owned)
A left wrist injury has kept Davis out for the past week, but the MRI results came back negative, per Todd Rosiak of the Journal Sentinel, and there's a chance he could return to the lineup over the weekend. His numbers (.279-9-21) remain worthy of starting as a fourth or fifth outfielder.
6. Josmil Pinto, C, Twins (2.3 Percent Owned)
The 24-year-old Pinto has gotten his career off to a roaring start, going 14-for-30 (.467) with five doubles and a homer over his first nine games. He hit well in the minors before his September call-up (.309/.400/.482) and should keep squatting now that Joe Mauer, who is dealing with a concussion and hasn't played since Aug. 19, has been sent home to rest—perhaps for the season—as Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.
7. Jackie Bradley Jr., OF, Red Sox (1.7 Percent Owned)
Bradley has been getting starts in center for Boston now that Jacoby Ellsbury is expected to miss the next couple weeks with a fracture in his right foot. The 23-year-old lefty hitter has gone 3-for-13 with a pair of runs scored and should continue to play against most right-handers until Ellsbury's back.
8. Xander Bogaerts, SS, Red Sox (4.3 Percent Owned)
Bogaerts' playing time is still coming in fits and starts, but he did manage to hit his first big league home run in the past week, proving that he's capable of contributing when active. Owning him, though, requires diligence to make sure his righty bat actually is in the lineup, which usually happens against left-handers.
9. Chris Owings, SS, Diamondbacks (0.0 Percent Owned)
Owings has been scratching out a little more PT of late and taking advantage of his opportunities by going 5-for-14 with a couple of steals over the past week. With fellow shortstop Didi Gregorius around, Owings won't be getting regular run, but he should see enough to make him a useful add in NL-only leagues.
10. James Paxton, LHP, Mariners (0.2 Percent Owned)
Paxton's major league debut last Saturday against the Rays went rather well (6 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 3:1 K:BB), so he'll get another turn this Saturday, albeit against the Cardinals. It's risky to spot start him in that one, but the 24-year-old does have strikeout stuff (8.1 K/9 at Triple-A), if you're desperate for Ks.
Honorable Mentions: Mike Zunino, C, Mariners; Robbie Erlin, LHP, Padres; Josh Fields, RHP, Astros; Andre Rienzo, RHP, White Sox; Grant Green, 2B/SS, Los Angeles Angels; Erik Johnson, RHP, White Sox; Nick Castellanos, 3B, Tigers; Travis d'Arnaud, C, Mets; Kevin Gausman, RHP, Orioles; Matt Davidson, 3B, Diamondbacks; Kolten Wong, 2B, Cardinals
Players who have exhausted their prospect eligibility since last week: Corey Dickerson, OF, Rockies; Brett Oberholtzer, LHP, Astros; Jonathan Villar, SS, Astros; L.J. Hoes, OF, Astros
Next in Line
1. George Springer, OF, Astros (0.1 Percent Owned)
Springer's Triple-A club, the Oklahoma City RedHawks, was swept out of the first round of the PCL playoffs, but not before he went 4-for-10 with a homer and a steal. Springer, who wound up with 37 homers and 45 steals in the regular season, finished second to the Twins' Byron Buxton for Baseball America's Minor League Player of the Year. Whether any of the above is going to lead to a call-up, though, remains to be seen.
2. Yordano Ventura, RHP, Royals (0.0 Percent Owned)
Ventura's start last week was skipped for disciplinary reasons, but he was back on the mound Wednesday, where he threw six innings of one-run ball with six whiffs to help put his Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers club on the verge of the PCL championship, as Cash Kruth of MLB.com writes. With the Royals still very much in contention for a wild-card spot, Ventura could be up as a pitching reinforcement within a few days.
3. Mike Olt, 3B, Cubs, (0.0 Percent Owned)
Frankly, with not even three full weeks left in the major league regular season, any of these names in this portion are long shots for a promotion. That goes for the power-hitting Olt, too, as the Cubs appear content to go with a combination of Donnie Murphy and Luis Valbuena at the hot corner from here on out, as Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
4. Archie Bradley, RHP, Diamondbacks (0.0 Percent Owned)
After last week's solid start to open the Double-A Mobile BayBears' Southern League playoffs, Bradley wasn't nearly as effective the second time around. On Wednesday, the 21-year-old lost by giving up six earned on seven hits with a 2:4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in only five frames. Bad time to have his worst outing of what has been a downright dominating year, and Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports that Bradley's MLB debut is unlikely to come before 2014.
5. Rafael Montero, RHP, Mets (0.0 Percent Owned)
The Mets seems content to let retread veterans like Daisuke Matsuzaka and Aaron Harang pick up meaningless late-season starts for them, so it's unlikely the 22-year-old Montero, who had a 2.78 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 8.7 K/9 between Double- and Triple-A, will get the call. The fact that he was only so-so in his playoff outing for Las Vegas last Thursday (4.1 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 2:3 K:BB) didn't help matters.
Honorable Mentions: Marcus Stroman, RHP, Blue Jays; A. Wojciechowski, RHP, Astros; H. Morris, 1B, Brewers; Bryce Brentz, OF, Red Sox

Amazon opens 'Instant Pickup' points in U.S. brick-and-mortar push• http://www.reuters.com
BERKELEY, Ca (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc is rolling out pickup points in the United States where shoppers can retrieve items immediately after ordering them, shortening delivery times from hours to minutes, the company said on Tuesday.
The world's largest online retailer has launched 'Instant Pickup' points around five college campuses, such as the University of California at Berkeley, it said. Amazon has plans to open more sites by the end of the year including one in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood.
Shoppers on Amazon's mobile app can select from several hundred fast-selling items at each site, from snacks and drinks to phone chargers. Amazon employees in a back room then load orders into lockers within two minutes, and customers receive bar codes to access them.
The news underscores Amazon's broader push into brick-and-mortar retail. The e-commerce company, which said in June it would buy Whole Foods Market Inc for $13.7 billion, has come to realize that certain transactions like buying fresh produce are hard to shift online. Its Instant Pickup program targets another laggard: impulse buys.
"I want to buy a can of coke because I'm thirsty," said Ripley MacDonald, Amazon's director of student programs. "There's no chance I'm going to order that on Amazon.com and wait however long it's going to take for that to ship to me."

Characterization of QTL for Growth and Meat Quality in Combined Pig QTL Populations
Li, Y.; Choi, B.H.; Lee, Y.M.; Alam, M.; Lee, J.H.; Kim, K.S.; Baek, K.H.; Kim, J.J.;
This study was conducted to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for thirteen growth and meat quality traits in pigs by combing QTL experimental populations. Two F2 reference populations that were sired by Korea native pig (KNP) and dammed by Landrace (LN) or Yorkshire (YK) were generated to construct linkage maps using 123 genetic markers (mostly microsatellites) and to perform QTL analysis on porcine chromosomes (SSCs) 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, and 15. A set of line-cross models was applied to detect QTL, and a series of lack-of-fit tests between the models was used to characterize inheritance mode of QTL. A total of 23, 11 and 19 QTL were detected at 5% chromosome-wise level for the data sets of KNP
YK cross and joint sets of the two cross populations, respectively. With the joint data, two Mendelian expressed QTL for live weight and cooking loss were detected on SSC3 and SSC15 at 1% chromosome-wise level, respectively. Another Mendelian expressed QTL was detected for CIE a on SSC7 at 5% genome-wise level. Our results suggest that QTL analysis by combining data from two QTL populations increase power for QTL detection, which could provide more accurate genetic information in subsequent marker-assisted selection.

Some important historical facts about Mount Rushmore include that it is the brainchild of Doane Robinson. Other facts include that it is named after Charles E. Rushmore and was deemed complete in 1941.Continue Reading
Doane Robinson, considered the father of Mount Rushmore, first envisioned some type of tourist attraction in 1923 in order to attract people from all over the country to his state. Gutzon Borglum was carving Stone Mountain in Georgia when he was contacted by Robinson. Borglum took Robinson's idea and expanded on it. He wanted something monumental and of great national significance.
Work started in Mt Rushmore in 1927. The faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln were created on the side of the mountain with dynamite, resulting in approximately 450,000 tons of rocky debris. After 14 years and almost $10 million, Mount Rushmore was declared complete on Oct. 31, 1941. During the work, there were no fatalities among the workers.
The mountain on which Rushmore is carved was originally know to the native people as "Six Grandfathers." The monument was renamed Rushmore after Charles E. Rushmore, a prominent New York lawyer. After the monument was named after him, Charles Rushmore donated $5,000 towards Gutzon Borglum's sculpture of the four presidents' heads.Learn more about Geography

Protractors are typically used either to measure existing angles or to draw new angles. Most protractors are shaped like semi-circles, with a straight side and a rounded side. They are usually made from transparent plastic, with black markings on the surface to indicate various measurements. There are, of course, exceptions. Some protractors are made from metal or other materials while some are shaped like a full circle rather than just half of a circle. For the purposes of this explanation, however, we will stick with the half-circle type.
1. Draw a horizontal line on the paper. Place the hole in the center of the straight side of the protractor directly over the end point of this line on the side where you want your angle to be.
2. On the upper edge of the rounded side of the protractor, you will see that there are two sets of numbers, each counting upward from 0 to 180 from opposite sides. The set of numbers that you use for your angle is determined by the type of angle that you are drawing. There are three basic types of angles:
That means that if you are drawing an acute angle, you will use the numbers that are under 90, whereas if you are drawing an obtuse angle, you will use the numbers that are over 90. [1] Make a mark on the paper next to the correct number.
4. Remove the protractor and draw a line between the mark that you just made and the end point of the line where the protractor was placed. This will give you your finished angle.
1. Place the hole in the center of the straight side of the protractor over the center point or vertex of the angle that you want to measure. Make sure the horizontal line at the base of the angle is perfectly lined up with the zero line of the protractor. [2]
2. Look at the other leg of the angle to see where it intersects the rounded side of the protractor. If it is not long enough, extend it out with a pencil or lay a piece of paper along the line to make it long enough to measure. Write down the number that appears at the point where the line crosses the edge of the protractor. If it is an acute angle, use the numbers that are under 90 degrees. If it is obtuse, use the numbers that are over 90 degrees. This will give you the final measurement of your angle.
This concept is far easier to understand if you can see it in action. Here is a great video that demonstrates step-by-step how to use a protractor:

HOLLYWOOD — South Broward Hospital District board members decided Thursday to retain Memorial Hospital`s exclusive agreement with three doctors who perform a specialized heart test, upholding a decision of the hospital`s medical staff.
In voting 3-1 to keep Memorial`s policy, board members rejected a protest from Dr. Joseph Horgan, a cardiologist who challenged Memorial`s practice of limiting the heart-catheterization testing.
Board member Molly Leban was the dissenter.
But the board also decided to limit the agreement with Drs. Michael Marek, Barry Alter and Silvio Sperber, to one more year. After that, they will be required to negotiate a formal contract with the hospital`s division of cardiology.
The three doctors have operated under an informal agreement with the hospital since 1981. The board also asked that the cardiology division recommend criteria for negotiation of future contracts.
Board members Wilson Atkinson, William Horvitz and Martha Walker were absent from the 10 1/2-hour hearing, which included testimony from 10 witnesses and comments from the public.
``I don`t think the board considered the evidence as it was presented,`` Horgan said. ``I think they already had their minds made up and I think their decision was totally unfair. I do plan to take this to court.``
Board member Dr. Alexander Goldenberg made the motion to retain the closed policy.
``I`ve been told by physicians from all around that a closed lab is the best way to ensure quality care for patients, and that`s why I`m supporting it,`` Goldenberg said.
Board Chairman Carol Owen, who relunctantly voted to retain the hospital`s closed-door policy, said he based his decision on the medical staff`s recommendation.

These space-age-esque suits are high-tech pyjamas being trialled in a UK first, by budget hotel chain Travelodge.
The result of a research, the customised therapeutic PJs are produced from a revolutionary fabric called "Dermasilk" which feels like a second skin. It allows the skin to breathe, regulates body temperature (in hot and cold conditions) and maintains the skin's moisture balance.
The second skin sleepwear is available for men and women and comes in four different sizes. The outfit consists of: leggings, long sleeved tee-shirt, gloves, socks and a facial mask.
Leigh McCarron, Travelodge "sleep director" said: "As a retailer of sleep, we are constantly investigating innovative ways, on how we can help our customers attain a good night's sleep. Something as simple as changing your bed attire can dramatically affect your quality of sleep".
The space-age sleepwear will be trialled with customers at the following participating Travelodge hotels: London Heathrow T5, Birmingham Fiveways, Bristol Central, Manchester Central and Edinburgh Central.

Visual Arts
Welcome to 2017
This year will see creativity bloom throughout the school! Keep an eye out for artworks popping up everywhere; in the gardens, on the walls, even growing out of the floor!
A whole school collaborative set of wings will grow in the foyer of the office early this year, with a chance for some amazing photographs in front of the installation "Tinternvale helps me to fly!" Later this year, a Fantasy Garden will grow in a secret location with contributions from students, staff and local residents for us all to enjoy.
There are plans for a new mural in the school, which will involve the ideas and input from the students; a great way to brighten up our environment and give students a chance to leave their creative mark for students to enjoy in the future.
We are all looking forward to a creative, messy, inspirational, and enjoyable year in the Art Room!

|Sara leading a question and answer session about recycling and
sustainability with the VAMPY students.
Apart from knowledge, the students also took home a free water bottle and t-shirt from WKU's Earth Day (which was April 16). Like most students, they were excited to receive the freebies!
|An Earth Day t-shirt and water bottle
that was given to each VAMPY student.
In Surplus news, we received some interesting items from the Health Services building: an electrosurgical generator and a container full of crutches! We never know what kind of items we're going to receive, but we always have fun trying to find creative ways to reuse them on campus.
With Recycled Love,

About This Campaign
Hey everyone, we've got an exciting update! Our treadmill sponsor, Flaman Fitness, has offered to donate $5,000 to Kids in Action when we hit our current goal of $10,000! We at RCR were blown away by this generous offer and we're sure you are as well! I know we've all worked super hard to raise nearly $7,500 but I have no doubt that we can keep pushing to hit that $10,000 goal! ----------------------- We're going big on this one! River City Runners (RCR) have partnered with Lululemon to raise $10,000 for the Hope Mission's Kids in Action Program. What's Happening? On February 14, 2015 RCR is holding a 24 hour treadmill challenge (we're going all night long baby). We're endeavouring to run 500 kilometers in 24 hours and raise $10,000 for the Kids in Action Program. The $10,000 will provide running shoes and healthy snacks for 200 Edmonton kids as they train their little hearts out for the Kids in Action 5k race on May 30, 2015! How can you get involved? We'll have two treadmills for the challenge. RCR will be running on one and YOU can run alongside us on the other one! We're breaking the second treadmill down into hour-long time slots. Each hour can be booked for a minimum donation of only $125. OK, this is awesome! What do I do next? Pick the hour (or hours) that you want to run with us from the list above. After you reserve your spot, you will be emailed a link where you can donate directly to Hope Mission. Then, get running!

North American Pet Health Insurance Awareness Month
If you haven't already heard, next month is North American Pet Health Insurance Awareness Month. It's a great time to consider the importance of insuring our beloved furry pals to guarantee that we are able to provide them the best medical care possible without worrying about the consequences of large expenses.
NAPHIA encourages pet owners to submit stories and photos about their experiences with pet health insurance and also nominate their favorite veterinary practice. (Click image for details)
Trupanion is a proud member of NAPHIA who stress the following high standards for pet insurance:
- We will not dictate veterinary fees.
- Clients can choose any veterinarian.
- Veterinarians need not participate in our program, nor will they be exempt if they participate in other PHI (pet health insurance) programs.
- The member party will make a 3rd party available for all claim disputes.
- Regular claims will be processed within 10 business days (and no longer than 20 days once we have complete information).
For more information on North American Pet Health Insurance Awareness Month, read the press release

2 cups elbow macaroni (about 8 ounces)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk (about 1 1/4 cups)
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar
3/4 cup cubed processed cheese product, such as Velveeta (about 6 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Combine the macaroni, salt and 2 cups water in a rice cooker. Set the rice cooker on the standard white rice cycle and cook for 30 minutes, or until the cooking cycle is almost complete and most of the water is absorbed.
Stir in the milk, Cheddar, processed cheese product, mustard and black pepper. Close the lid, turn the cooker to the warm setting, and let cook, stirring occasionally so the bottom doesn't burn, until the cheese is melted and the milk is well incorporated, about 10 minutes.

A "snapshot" survey has suggested that The Independent pays freelances less than other 'quality' national titles
According to private training company the London Journalism Centre a freelance was offered £200 for a 1,000 word article by the newspaper.
"I was surprised how little I was going to get for a piece that would appear in print and online," the journalist told the training centre.
According to the London Journalism Centre survey, other titles pay "considerably more".
It said The Guardian pays 31p a word (£310 per thousand) , The Times 30p a word (£300 per thousand) and the Telegraph 40p a word (£400 per thousand).
The training centre reports Independent deputy managing editor Sean O'Grady as saying that pay "varies a huge amount", adding that some contributors, such as politicians, were sometimes not paid at all
The figures were obtained by phoning the newspapers and asking what rates they would pay for freelance feature submissions. In addition to the broadsheets, The Sun told the centre it would pay £750 for a page-lead article.

Create the option of indicating the distribution list in an email blast
It would be handy to have the option to indicate on an email blast who the email was sent to in total. eg if the email was sent to all Committee Members. At the moment, members receive an email without know who else is on the distribution list for that particular email.
Interesting. But we'll need to see more interest from other users, before we can seriously consider adding this feature.
1 comment
Kathy Zeman commented
I want to type several email addresses into 1 link - so the user can click once to email a message to the entire committee. So - does WA have like a 'distribution list' feature?

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the conditions mentioned above, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.
4. Right to erasure
a) Obligation regarding erasure
You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of your personal data immediately and the controller is obliged to erase this data without delay where one of the following reasons applies:
(1) the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;

If the controller has made your personal data public and is obliged to erase them accordance to Article 17 (1) of the GDPR, he has to take reasonable steps, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, including technical measures, to inform the controllers who process the personal data that you, as the person concerned, have requested the erasure of any links to, or copy or replication of those personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
(2) for fulfilment of a legal obligation which requires processing by the law of the Union or of the Member States to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or the exercise of official authority transferred to the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with points (h) and (i) of Article 9 (2) as well as Article 9 (3) of the GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 (1), insofar as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of such processing; or
(5) for the establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.
5. Notification obligation
If you have made use of your right to correct, erase or restrict the processing of your personal data, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data have been disclosed of this correction or erasure of the data or limitation of the processing, unless this proves to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed of these recipients by the controller.
6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data relating to you which you have provided to the data controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance by the controller, who has been provided with the personal data, where:
(1) the processing is based on a consent in accordance with the point (a) of Article 6 (1) or point (a) of Article 9 (2) or on a contract in accordance with the point (b) of Article 6 (1); and
(2) the processing is carried out using automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data are transmitted directly from one controller to another, as far as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons may not be affected thereby.
The right to data portability is not applicable to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority given to the data controller.
7. Right to object
For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you, which is carried out based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6 (1); this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless the controller can prove that there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Where the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
Where you object to the processing for the purposes of direct marketing, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the possibility of exercising your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
8. Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under Data Protection Act
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under Data Protection Act at any time. The withdrawal of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.
9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effect on you or which significantly impairs you in a similar manner.
This does not apply if the decision:

A person familiar with the decision says the Cleveland Browns have hired Carolina offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski as their new coach.
Chudzinski will become the Browns' sixth full-time coach since 1999, said the person who spoke to the Associated Press last night on the condition of anonymity because the team has not yet announced the hiring. Chudzinski, 44, has spent the past two seasons with the Panthers. He also has had two stints with the Browns as an assistant coach.
The Browns have been searching for a coach since firing Pat Shurmur on Dec. 31 after a 5-11 season.
JAGUARS: Jacksonville fired coach Mike Mularkey after just one 2-14 season, the worst in franchise history.
New general manager David Caldwell made the announcement two days after he was hired, giving him a clean slate heading into 2013. Caldwell said he wants to immediately explore every avenue possible to turn the Jaguars around.
49ERS:David Akers is keeping his job as San Francisco's starting kicker.
Jim Harbaugh made the announcement after practice, two days ahead of the San Francisco's NFC divisional playoff game against the Packers.
EAGLES:Lovie Smith interviewed with the Eagles as the team continued its search to replace Andy Reid, who was fired after a 4-12 finish.
Smith is the seventh candidate to meet with owner Jeffrey Lurie, general manager Howie Roseman and president Don Smolenski. The Eagles haven't announced who they plan to interview next, but they received permission to speak to three assistant coaches.
CARDINALS: Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden is the latest to interview for the vacant head coaching job with Arizona.
Gruden, younger brother of former Oakland and Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden, said his interview with the Cardinals was his first for a head-coaching job with any NFL team.
STEELERS: Rookie running back Chris Rainey has run out of chances with the Pittsburgh.
The Steelers cut the troubled 24-year-old following his arrest on a battery charge in Gainesville, Fla., the latest in a series of off-the-field incidents that have threatened his career.
VIKINGS: Minnesota linebacker Chad Greenway has been added to the NFC Pro Bowl team as an injury replacement for DeMarcus Ware of the Cowboys.

18 NOV 2013Dubai, UAE 18TH of November 2013: flynas today announced that it is expanding its routes network thru the operation of long-haul flights to many popular destinations in Europe, North Africa and the Sub Continent.
Route expansion scheduled for Q2 2014 will enable flynas' customers to travel to Europe, North Africa and the Sub Continent
Dubai, UAE 18TH of November 2013: flynas today announced that it is expanding its routes network thru the operation of long-haul flights to many popular destinations in Europe, North Africa and the Sub Continent.
Flynas's new route map will include London, Paris, Casablanca, India and Pakistan. The planned route expansion is expected to take effect in the second quarter of 2014.
"Our passengers will enjoy all the expected services and comforts from the long-haul travel –including the Aircraft Airbus A330a, business class cabin, in-flight entertainment, hot meal service, flexible baggage policy, and expertly trained cabin crew – all offered at a very competitive price," said Raja Azmi, CEO of flynas.
A recent study by leading price comparison site HotelsCombined said demand for European destinations among Middle East travelers rose by 45 percent in August 2013, compared to the same period last year, with London topping the list and Paris featuring among the top 5 most popular destinations.
"The demand for affordable and convenient travel to Europe is on the rise – London was the most popular overseas destination among Middle East travelers during the recent Eid Al Adha break," said Sulaiman Al-Hamdan, CEO Nas Holding.
Al-Hamdan continued: "The expansion into the long haul destinations builds on our new strategic direction to carry 20 million passengers per year by 2020 across a much wider cross-section of the Middle Eastern passenger profile. We are sure the addition of an affordable, high-service option on these high-traffic routes will be very positively met. Moreover, the operation of long-haul routes will increase our market share in several sectors while be a great addition in facilitating greater connectivity between Saudi Arabia and various new destinations, a step that is expected to participate in impacting positively the national economy of the Kingdom."

In Boston, subway and surface lines are identified by color: red, blue, green and orange. Recently, an express bus system was implemented, known as the silver line. Lines can be identified by color there because trains/streetcars are assigned to specific trackage. In NYC, the system is so large and complicated that trains can be rerouted […]

PEKING — Small businesses are becoming big business in China these days. Nowhere has Deng Xiaoping`s much talked-about modernization drive had a greater impact than in the realm of small business.
``Mom and Pop`` operations are what they are called in the West. Socialist entrepreneurs they are called here.
The term is manifest in many examples. Mongols from the countryside set up small charcoal pits and hawk barbecued mutton on a stick near one of Peking`s most popular tourist hotels. Men and women with nothing more than a treadle-operated sewing machine, a spool or two of thread and a few bolts of khaki, gray or blue fabric squat on sidewalks and declare their tailor shops in business. Teenage boys buy boxes of bananas in hopes of luring tourists.

School and Camps for kids, adults, veterans, and families. Where education is real, relevant, and wow. Where every curriculum is customized for every participant.
"We believe for a brighter future we must develop those that will lead others that are healthy physically fit happy successful emotionally intelligent empathetic ethical people with grit, which are well educated, skilled in creative, critical, and divergent thinking, capable of adaptability and collaboration, and are good stewards of the earth."
A Slideshow of Our Youth Programs
An Acquired Taste is an award-winning documentary by French documentary producer/director Vanessa Lemaire following three urban teens from non-hunting non-gun owning families, who unplug, develop the skills to be hunters, and show their parents what it means to responsibly put food on the table. Vanessa followed two of the students in our mentoring program Nick, 11 and Alex, 12. Both boys believing that wild local game is the ultimate in free-range, GMO-free, and organically grown meat. You will follow these teens on their 2-year journey in just one of our mentored programs following our director's footsteps for locavore protein harvested in an ethical and humane manner.
Since the filming of this documentary our location has changed to better serve our participants and our name has changed to better reflect the depth and breadth of what we do; what has not changed is our individualized approach education, using the student's passion as the vehicle for learning academics and critical thinking, and the value we see in both having most instruction outside and doing what is real.
Our K-12 day and resident students earn their diploma following their passions in a series of total immersion camps. Our school is a proving ground for the best practices in education.Visit Our School Page
We have leadership opportunities within our camps for ages 16, 17, 18 year olds and for adults.Visit Our Leadership Page

When a soldier, law enforcement personnel, or firefighters see combat (seeing trauma as a paramedic, trauma nurse, or doctor has the same effect) they may be injured on the inside, when they are hurt, their family is also hurt. In combat life is different, they are part of a team and everyone has orders. Returning solders though back in a loving family many times feel alone and not safe. As we work with the vets and others, teaching them a new trade and giving them the skills and tools to return to work and their families, we do everything we can to keep the veteran (and other first responders) and their family on site together. Their children may enroll in our school and camp programs; the spouse may enroll in our adult programs, and there is always meaningful work for everyone. During this time they are learning to be a family again with the support of their new supportive NOLI family.
Because deployment and extended training is also a hard and scary time for military families we extend these same services to those families as well. We also have programs for the families of fallen soldiers and first responders. Our non-profit sister organization Friends of NOLI provide scholarships to help veterans and their family to attend our programs.Veteran Services
