MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The head of men's tennis, Brad Drewett, is to step down after he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, the ATP said on Tuesday.
The 54-year-old Australian, who was appointed as ATP Executive Chairman and President 12 months ago, will continue in his role until a successor is found.
"It has been a privilege to serve as Executive Chairman and President of the ATP, an organization that I've been a part of for more than 35 years since I became a professional tennis player," Drewett said in an ATP statement.
"I hold the ATP very close to my heart, and it's with sadness that I make the decision to enter this transition period due to my ill health."
In his brief time in charge, Drewett helped to convince the grand slam events to award the players more prize money and has been working actively to streamline the calendar.
Motor Neurone Disease, also down as ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a group of diseases which hit the nerve cells controlling the muscles.
World number two Roger Federer, the president of the ATP Player Council, said it was "sad news for all of us at the ATP and the entire tennis community".
"He is well liked and respected by everyone and has done a tremendous job in leading the ATP over the past 12 months, overseeing some major initiatives and a record-breaking year in 2012," the Swiss said in a statement.
"His dedication and service to the sport over the years has been truly admirable and he has been a central figure in helping to grow the ATP product across the globe. Our thoughts are with him and his family during this difficult time."
As a player, Drewett reached a career-high ranking of 34 in 1984 and was ranked in the top 20 in doubles, before moving into management with the ATP.

CARSON, Calif. – Mauricio Cienfuegos may stand just 5-foot-6, but during his days donning the LA Galaxy shirt, he was a giant.
During his 10 years with the Galaxy, Cienfuegos was quite literally a maestro on the field as he provided the engine that made the team's offense flourish. Whether it was with his clever passing ability or his ability to contort the trajectory of the ball when launching free kicks into the back of the net, Cienfuegos was as unassuming as he was brilliant.
"If you saw him walking down the street, you'd never think that this man possessed the athletic qualities and the brain of a world class midfielder," said former Galaxy defender Alexi Lalas. "Yet he'd go on the soccer field and control the tempo and dictate play in a way that was incredible to watch."
Clinical whenever he stepped on the field, Cienfuegos amassed a stat line that puts him up with the league's all-time greats. During his eight years with the Galaxy, Cienfuegos played 206 regular season matches and tallied 35 goals and 80 assists while earning three MLS Best XI nods and being named to the MLS All-Star Game seven times.
In the postseason, he was clutch as he tallied seven goals and an MLS record 14 assists in 35 postseason games while helping the Galaxy to four MLS Cup appearances and the club's first MLS Cup title in 2002. Winning the first MLS Cup title for the Galaxy was a crowning achievement for the Salvadorian soccer legend, but the chance to play in the league's first title game in 1996 was an accomplishment that still brings back vivid memories.
"Just a [month] ago my daughter, who just celebrated her 15th birthday, and wasn't even on this planet back then, was watching the highlights from the game on YouTube and all these memories started flooding back," said Cienfuegos of the final that took place at Foxboro Stadium in Massachusetts nearly 17 years ago. "It's a bit sad remembering that game cause what I remember about that game is the fact that we could have won that game and we were dominating the game and how we let it go in the last few minutes."
Although the Galaxy were not victorious in that first MLS Cup final, it did little to detract from Cienfuegos' status as a Los Angeles soccer icon. Cienfuegos stood as a model for those in the Salvadorian community—and people of all nationalities — in Southern California and beyond, who still stop the 45-year-old for photos and autographs when he's spotted on the StubHub Center concourse.
One of those children, who were inspired by Cienfuegos' skillful play, was 19-year-old Galaxy Homegrown defender Oscar Sorto. When Sorto was just six, his father would take him to observe Cienfuegos and the rest of the 2000 Galaxy team while they trained at McAllister Field near the campus of USC.
At those practices just blocks from his home in South Central Los Angeles, Sorto's father would point out the Salvadorian international and implore his son to notice his movement with and without the ball.
"I remember [my dad] telling me, 'look at that player, he's a smart player'," said Sorto of his observation of Cienfuegos after being signed by the club in December. "He told me, 'I want you to be one of those important players.' That's the only thing that I remember. It was one of the moments that really motivated me because even though it's hard, seeing a pro team train across the street from my home is something that helped me decide to become a soccer player."
These days Cienfuegos tries to inspire young players in a more active way just as he unknowingly stirred that young boy back then. A career in coaching had always interested the former midfield maestro and four years after hanging up his boots in 2003 he got his first chance to serve as the manager of a professional club. In December 2007, Cienfuegos began his coaching career, taking charge of Salvadorian first division side Nejapa. However, his stint as head coach of the club lasted less than a year as he stepped down to protect his players, who had gone months without payment.
Now 45, Cienfuegos has returned to the Galaxy as a technical coach in the team's academy—a position that he has held since June 2011— as he looks to help the team identify and develop players from the ages of 11 to 13.
"Right now I'm collaborating with the Galaxy and the Academy and trying to help find and develop future players in this country and for the LA Galaxy," said Cienfuegos. "In those age groups, you can really impact somebody's development and growth in soccer.
"I had talks with the Galaxy and I realized there was more need for good coaching with the younger groups because they are sponges and absorb so much information which can really impact somebody's development."
The maestro may have hung up his boots long ago and he may be a little greyer and older now than he was when he was terrorizing MLS defenses, but ask someone that played alongside Cienfuegos and those days seem as clear as yesterday.
"Cienfuegos was a guy that could see things on the field and create things on set pieces. He was an incredibly inventive player, who could create situations out of nothing," said former Galaxy teammate Robin Fraser. "His movement off the ball was as good as anyone that I've ever seen and his ability to execute passes is as good as anyone who has ever played in MLS."

Video on ISR 2800 3800 H.320 GW with ISO 13871 bonding Configuration Example
From DocWiki
This is the basic config for any ISR router 2800 / 3800 series with PRI connection to PSTN / PBX and H.323 protocol on IP side.
The example toplogy:
Tandberg VT - E1 PRI - PSTN - E1 PRI - ISR router - H.323 GK - Tandberg VT
1. First we need to register GW and the video endpoint to the GK, we can run GK feature on the same router if we have IOS with GK feature for example - C2800NM-IPVOICE_IVS-M. The most simple setup will be if we register endpoing with full E164 number and GW with the tech prefix, chousen in a way it will allow dialing to PSTN without any number transformation. Assume PSTN will requre 00 for international call, in this case we can use the following config on GK:
gatekeeper zone local video-98 mappets.com 10.52.218.98 no use-proxy video-98 default inbound-to terminal no use-proxy video-98 default outbound-from terminal no shutdown
There is no need to configure zone prefixes as GW will register with the tech prefix. And VT will register with the full E164 number, so GK will always be able to resolve the them to IP. For VT we need to allow direct calls to / from H.323 GW, so we disabling proxy requirement.
The matching GW config will be:
voice service voip h323 emptycapability h225 h245-address on-connect call start slow h245 tunnel disable h245 timeout olc 30
Formally you will need only slow start and OLC timeout tuning. Because it may take some time for all ISDN secondary calls to get connected and for the BAS and codec negotiation to start, we need allow voip side to wait for some time. The 30 second timeout is reasonable setting, if we are talking about some VT like Tandberg or Polycom, they will have that settings by default. But if you have CallManager on IP side, you need to tune that timeouts via Service parameters:
H245 TCS Timeout 30
Media Exchange Interface Capability Timer 30
Media Exchange Timer 30
You may also consider to un-check the check-box on the GW config page:
"Wait for Far End H.245 Terminal Capability Set"
It usually good practice explicitly specify which interface will be used for H.323 signaling and if you register the GW to GK you will need to configure:
interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 10.52.218.91 255.255.255.0 h323-gateway voip interface h323-gateway voip id video-98 ipaddr 10.52.218.98 1719 h323-gateway voip h323-id ios-91-to-98 h323-gateway voip tech-prefix 00 h323-gateway voip bind srcaddr 10.52.218.91
Next we can proceed with the H.320 video GW configuration.
1. Specify the card type you will have:
card type e1 1 1
2. As video calls are actually the DATA calls by the nature of video content, we need to ensure the clocking is configured corectcly:
network-clock-participate slot 1 network-clock-participate wic 1
! ! Choose the one which required by your hardware setup. !
network-clock-select 1 E1 1/0
3. You will need to specify the ISDN switch type before you can proceed with PRI group config on the controller:
isdn switch-type primary-net5
4. The controller config is the same as for any PRI connection:
controller E1 1/0 pri-group timeslots 1-31 description >>>>> Test of NEW BT PRI ports - out 338898 *** <<<<<
5. Now we need to configure D-channel to accept / send Data calls:
interface Serial1/0:15 description >>>>> Test of NEW BT PRI ports - out 338898 *** <<<<< no ip address encapsulation hdlc isdn switch-type primary-net5 isdn map address .* plan unknown type unknown isdn negotiate-bchan resend-setup isdn bchan-number-order ascending isdn sending-complete isdn integrate calltype all no cdp enable
6. Now we can proceed with the preparation for the dial-peer config, first let define the codecs we will use on IP side. Please keep in mind that GW will actually do the filtering of the codes it will announce to the endpoints on both sides.
voice class codec 1000 codec preference 1 g711ulaw codec preference 2 g711alaw codec preference 3 g728 codec preference 4 g722-64 codec preference 5 g722-56 codec preference 6 g722-48 video codec h261 video codec h263 video codec h263+ video codec h264
7. This part is required to accept the incoming video calls, we need to have to provide the secondary numbers to the calling party, so they can call us on that numbers to add more bandwidth to the video call, that numbers will be sent out during ISO 13871 bonding stage. According to ISO 13871 only 7 digits will be sent. So there is no need or sense to configure more then 7 digits in the pool config. But you can configure less then 7 digits. The secondary called number will be crated from the primary called number by replacing the last digits with the numbers from the pool. So in case when only last 1 or 2 digits are different, you pool may have only 1 or 2 digit numbers in it.
voice class called number pool 3151 index 1 315140 - 315149
8. Now we need to apply that pool to the voice port to activate it:
voice-port 1/0:15 voice-class called-number-pool 3151
9. Now we are ready to proceed with the dial-peer configuration we need 4 of them, two incoming and two outgoing. It is possible to use one POTS dial-peer as incoming and outgoing at the same time, but we will provide config for two of them for the sake of clarity:
dial-peer voice 99 pots description default incoming video dial-peer information-type video incoming called-number 313300 bandwidth maximum 384 direct-inward-dial
dial-peer voice 9001 pots description default outgoing video dial-peer destination-pattern 00 information-type video bandwidth maximum 384 port 1/0:15 forward-digits all
10. here is the example of the VOIP dial-peer, now we configured it as both - incoming and outgoing:
dial-peer voice 770 voip description default incoming/outgoing voip dial-peer for all calls from GK w destination-pattern 701... voice-class codec 1000 session target ras incoming called-number 00. dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric

This section provides information you can use to confirm your configuration is working properly.
Certain show commands are supported by the Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only), which allows you to view an analysis of show command output.
show network-clocks show isdn status show dial-peer voice summary show voice call status show voice dsp
There also some useful commands to add and they can be used on All routers in production as well:
service nagle service tcp-keepalives-in service tcp-keepalives-out service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime msec
logging message-counter syslog logging queue-limit 100000 logging buffered 5000000 logging rate-limit 10000 no logging console
And some very useful aliases :)

In case you will need to contact TAC, you can get the debugs following this template:
- 1. Add to the config or make sure you have it already:
service sequence-numbers service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime msec
logging buffered 5000000 logging rate-limit 10000 logging queue-limit 100000 no logging console
- 2. Then start logging to a file from your telnet application and get:
U all Term no mon Term len 0
Sh ver Sh run
- 3. Then enable debugs (you can copy / paste all of them to the telnet session window )

(AP) LANSING, Mich.
The Michigan House has voted to approve right-to-work legislation for private-sector workers.
House members voted 58-52 to approve the measure Thursday afternoon as hundreds of union activists protested loudly in the state Capitol halls in Lansing. Only Republicans voted in favor.
The Senate is debating similar legislation. Minority Democrats are offering a series of amendments, all of which majority Republicans have voted down.
Gov. Rick Snyder and legislative leaders announced earlier Thursday they would try to rush the legislation to enactment in the session's final days.
So-called right-to-work measures generally prohibit requiring unions from collecting fees from nonunion employees.

Have you ever used your slow cooker to make chicken tacos? Once I discovered how incredibly easy it is to use my slow cooker to make the chicken for chicken tacos, it became a weekly menu staple for our family. With January being National Slow Cooker Month, my favorite slow cooker recipe seemed like a perfect fit.
Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos could not be easier to make. To make them, in the late morning I place some frozen chicken in my slow cooker, along with a jar of salsa and a little bit of taco seasoning, and by dinner time we have perfectly cooked chicken that is ready to go into taco shells, shredded chicken lettuce wraps, taco salads, chicken burritos, on top of nachos or even in chicken quesadillas. While this recipe is for tacos, you really can use this chicken in so many ways. Truth be told, on some days I start making the chicken in the morning and figure out later in the day exactly how I will serve it.
If you have a stand mixer and have not yet used it to shred your chicken, you are in for a treat. Yes, that's right, you can shred your cooked chicken with your stand mixer, and it is amazing. I don't know how many years I stood in the kitchen, with two forks, burning myself, doing a really poor job at shredding chicken. Toss that same chicken into your mixer and turn it on for less than a minute and you have shredded chicken that is restaurant worthy. I still get a thrill from it every time (hey, sometimes it's the little things in life, right?).
Before I pull my chicken out of the slow cooker, I get my other ingredients ready. When I'm keeping it really simple, that includes taco shells, tortillas or lettuce to make lettuce wraps, some cheese such as KRAFT Shredded Cheese, tomatoes and KNUDSEN Sour Cream. If I'm making something a bit more elaborate, I'll also add black olives, pinto or black beans, corn, avocado, whatever we have on hand that will work.
These slow cooker chicken tacos are so very flexible and perfect for those busy nights. Once the chicken is ready, everyone can create their own tacos (or salads or wraps), and enjoy.
Click here for the full recipe: Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos
If you are looking for other great ways to use this chicken, you could simply replace the ground beef in other recipes with this shredded chicken. Neither of my girls are very fond of ground beef, so I used shredded chicken in so many recipes. It would be perfect for a Salad-Topped Taco Pizza, in Taco Pasta Toss or in a Quick-Fix Beef Burrito Skillet.
Whip up some easy slow cooker chicken tacos for tonight! Chicken breasts turn out tender, juicy, and easy to shred, making them perfect for tasty tacos.

Editor's note: Lenny Kravitz is a Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter, record producer and actor starring in "The Hunger Games". He is a spokesperson for UNICEF's clean water campaign.
Last week, I signed on to support UNICEF's programs for water, sanitation and hygiene. On the same day, UNICEF announced that the Millennium Development Goal on drinking water had been met, and that now 89% of the world's population has access to drinking water.
I thought I had joined too late, when I was no longer needed!
There is no doubt this is a remarkable achievement. But if you read the WHO/UNICEF Progress on Drinking Water and Sanitation 2012 report carefully, it also means 11% of the world has no access to improved drinking water sources – more than 780 million people. For me and for UNICEF, this means we will have a lot to work on together.
On sanitation, the picture is even bleaker. Approximately two and a half billion people do not have access to improved sanitation facilities.
Surprisingly, those left behind are not only from poor countries. Sub-Saharan Africa, for example, accounts for less than half of the population still without water and sanitation.
In reality, people in the big economic powerhouses are falling behind too. China and India, with vibrant and growing economies, together have over one third of all the people in the world. They have the means to make progress and have done so. Since 1990, 522 million people in India, and 457 million in China gained access to improved water sources, and so they account for nearly half of the global progress towards the MDG target. And more than 95% of the progress on sanitation in Eastern Asia is due to China.
But I was shocked to realize that 119 million people in China and 97 million people in India still do not have access to safe drinking water. Even more astonishingly, roughly half the population of India, 626 million people, have no sanitation facilities, and have to resort to open defecation. In fact the number of people who practice open defecation in India is more than twice the number in the next 18 countries combined. In Russia, 40 million people don't have access to what the UN calls "improved" sanitation, and neither do 40 million people in Brazil.
UNICEF has been talking about equity for some time now, and when I see the water and sanitation figures I totally get what they mean.
While the richest members of the population in many countries are enjoying the fruits of progress, the poorest are still living in the last century, with the same challenges their grandparents faced.
Far away from the glittering lights of Bollywood, and the industrial parks of Hyderabad, the poor children of rural communities in India are dying of preventable diarrhea, defecating in the open, and getting their drinking water from dirty ponds, pools and rivers. Similarly, while in Chengdu or Shenzhen, China, those manufacturing computers may take progress for granted, in the hinterland, the children of poor farmers still have no drinking water.
I am not trying to throw bricks at India, China, or the others, but basically saying that even in countries with adequate financial resources many people are lagging behind.
Unless we target the hardest to reach, and the most disadvantaged, they will continue to miss out on the benefits of progress. The report shows that it is the poorest people, mostly living in rural areas, who are falling through the cracks into an abyss of neglect.
In a 2010 resolution, the UN recognized safe drinking water and sanitation as a human right — meaning they should be available to every person. But there is still a long way to go in order to fulfill the promise implicit in the resolution.
So, yes, great progress has been made. This is certainly a time to evoke a sense of hope from that progress. But, as UNICEF has said, it is not a time to declare victory. Now is the time to put our energies in the final push to ensure that every person — most especially including every child—has clean water and adequate sanitation facilities. It is the right thing to do.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Alabama found itself in another back-and-forth battle in Friday's SEC Tournament semifinal matchup against Georgia, but a late rally in the seventh by the Crimson Tide fell just short as the Bulldogs held on to win, 5-3.
Alabama (45-11) scored three runs off six hits, as the Tide stranded the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh, allowing Georgia (44-12) to advance to the SEC Tournament Championship against Kentucky tomorrow. Georgia starter Geri Ann Glasco exited after just 1.1 innings pitched, while reliever Chelsea Wilkinson (28-7) pitched a gem in relief, striking out five in 5.2 innings with just one run allowed to earn the win. Jadyn Spencer accounted for two of the Tide's three runs with a two-run shot in the first inning, while Haylie McCleney and Kallie Case each earned a pair of hits at the top of the order. Sydney Littlejohn (10-2) took the loss in the complete-game effort in the circle for Alabama.
The Bulldogs threatened early, loading the bases with one away in the opening inning. Kaylee Puailoa got things started with a single to shallow center, scoring one though a force out was made at second to put runners at the corners with two away. Anna Swafford followed with another hard-hit single down the left-field line to score another and stretch Georgia's lead to 2-0. A walk loaded the bases yet again but a hard grounder to Kaila Hunt at second stranded the bases loaded with the Bulldogs holding an early 2-0 lead.
McCleney legged out a double down the right-field line to lead off the bottom of the second, eventually advancing to third off a wild pitch with two away. Spencer followed that by sending the 3-1 pitch over the fence in left field, tying the game up at 2-2.
A pair of hit batters put two on base for Alabama with one away in the bottom of the second as Georgia made the early pitching change, bringing in Wilkinson. She got the Bulldogs out of the jam, as a strikeout and a fly ball left the Tide runners stranded with the score still tied at 2-2.
Georgia broke the tie in the top of the third, as a fielding error allowed one run to cross the plate, putting the Bulldogs up 3-2 with two on and one away. A strikeout and a groundout limited the damage as Alabama was able to escape the inning with just a one-run deficit.
Alabama looked to get a rally going in the sixth inning, as the Tide put two on with nobody out to lead off the inning and Spencer sacrificed the pair into scoring position. A long fly ball went into deep foul territory down the third-base side, as Kallie Case tagged up at third base to score and tie the game at 3-3. A long fly ball went for the final out as Alabama couldn't bring home the go-ahead run from third, but the Tide entered the final inning of regulation tied up at 3-3.
In the top of the seventh, Glasco hit a one-out double into the left-field gap and Alex Hugo gave the Bulldogs the lead with a two-run homer to left field, pulling Georgia ahead 5-3 late. The Bulldogs grabbed a two-out double but couldn't tack on any more insurance, as they took the two-run lead into the bottom of the seventh. Danielle Richard drew a pinch-hit walk to lead off the bottom-half of the inning and McCleney and Case would eventually reach to load the bases with two away. A popup ended the game however, as Georgia held on to win, 5-3.
Alabama will learn its NCAA postseason fate this Sunday, as the selection committee will announce the field of 64 live on ESPNU at 9 p.m. CT.

U.S. Winter Outlook
NOAA's Climate Prediction Center released their winter forecast today.
Here are some of the highlights:
ENSO is expected to remain neutral through the season.
The Southwest and Southeast are predicted to be drier than normal, expanding and intensifying the ongoing Southwest drought while possibly putting the Southeast into a drought. Also, drought conditions are predicted to continue or possibly intensify across coastal New England with a drier than normal winter forecast for the region.
A colder than average winter is predicted across the Northern Plains, but the outlook favors a warmer than average winter from the Southwest over to western sections of the Southeast, as well as New England.
Full report
Climate Central takes a look at how drought, not widespread snowstorms, may be the biggest story this winter.

What to CookWeeknight Cooking
Browned Butter Asparagus Risotto
- Jenny
Because I live in Los Angeles, I am treated to asparagus throughout almost the entire year. But when springtime arrives, I join the rest of you in relishing the finest examples of this smart, versatile stalk of folic-acid packed lily (that's right, put it in the Google!) that the fertile ground can offer.
Let's take this vegetable to the weeknight kitchen. Of course you can simply steam it and dab its braided tip with some sea salt and nice black pepper and call it a night. But why not instead make it the very important accent on the already rich and delicious Browned Butter Asparagus Risotto; think a nice string of pearls added to that designer dress that you actually got at Target.
While this dish does require the normal amount of stirring and thus the same mild concentration that all risottos need, you don't need to do much more than that. In truth, you don't really need to even be sober, as I discovered while downing a very nice Chianti with a friend as I put this dish together. (Are you feeling judgment? Did I not tell you a blog or two ago that I am alone with my children nearly all the time these days? Uh huh, you're passing the cork screw now huh?)
First, you are steaming this asparagus just the way KelseyTheNaptimeChef instructs you, being careful not to overcook it. Then you are browning your butter, preferably, Kelsey tells us, in a risotto pan which naturally I have never heard of (my large sauce pan did just fine). Browning the butter takes all of 3 minutes and the nutty flavor enhancement it provides is worth it.
Instead of the onion she calls for sautéing, I used a large shallot simply because I prefer them, but you do as you like as long as you use her method.
I also warmed my chicken stock a bit before adding it, because I think that works better somehow; I was left with about ¼ of a cup even though I measured out the 4 called for. She does tell you to add them ½ cup at a time which I suppose accounts for different brands of rice, so you might be left with some as well, or not. She instructs you to cook it for several minutes once the stock is absorbed; I found it done by the time this happened, perhaps because I did add mine a bit slowly.
The recipe also calls for ½ cup of parmesan cheese – I just tossed in a giant handful, which was really a bit too much and I suggest you do as Kelsey says. The asparagus added the perfect texture, crunch and tasty bit of spring to this completely fulfilling and easy dish, perfect for a weeknight when paired with a salad. Or nothing else frankly –- it's that satisfying. I'm not just saying this because I was on my third glass of wine when I ate it. Everyone else –- my dinner guest and the children –- agreed.
Browned Butter Asparagus Risotto
By KelseyTheNaptimeChef
Serves 4
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cup arborio rice
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 4 cups chicken stock (homemade preferred, but Knorr cubes are fine, too)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
- Kosher salt & fresh pepper
- Trim the asparagus and blanch it in a pot of boiled water. Once it is tender enough to be speared with a fork, drain the water and cut the asparagus into 2" pieces. Set aside.
- In a low-wide saucepan, or a specialty risotto pan if you have one, heat 4 T. of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to warm until it gets bubbly and turns a golden brown and has a nutty fragrance. This takes a little under 2 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion to pan and allow it to simmer in the browned butter until translucent and tender. About 4-5 minutes.
- Next, add the rice and stir until it is coated with the butter and well-mixed with the onion, then add the wine and deglaze the bottom of the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
- Simmer until the wine has almost evaporated. Then, add 1/2 c. of the chicken stock and stir until it is completely absorbed. Continue adding the chicken stock by 1/2 c., stirring constantly, until it is all absorbed. About 10 minutes.
- Once all the chicken stock has been added, cook until the rice is tender to the bite. About 8-10 minutes. Then remove risotto from heat and stir in the remaining parmesan and butter. Taste the risotto and if it needs more salt add the Kosher salt pinch by pinch, stirring after each addition until it suits your taste. (I find that when I use unsalted homemade stock I need to add salt, but I don't when I use the Knorr bouillon cubes which are already salty).
- Finally, using a wooden spoon, stir the asparagus pieces into the risotto and finish off with a few cranks for black pepper if you want. Serve hot.

23 to the 32nd [sorry. bored again.]
Poor Walter Sparrow. He sits day after day in his cell, counting and recounting the events that dealt this fate. Pouring himself over his horoscope charts and astrological theories of time and space and quantum physics that he acquired in his library time, but why... after all, if time is just a counting system, what is yet to be proved? He started his time for Laura's murder working in "Laundry." He was regularly harrassed by a hairy sized 32 brute until his last beating 23 days ago, when he was finally approved to work the "Library." Books. Volume after tattered volume of Encyclopedia, and the occasional scientific mag. His ex cellmate tuned Walter in to his philosophies about fate and planetary alignment. Choices. Do we have any? Or do we delude ourselves with an illusion of control. Do we control what we are and what we like? Or are we predestined, so to speak, to live out these lives with the perverbial spiderwebs over our eyes to obscure us from the truth. 23. 32. What would Mulder and Scully do? ...and just as he entertained this last thought of the 'X Files', or of being one, another ploy settled into Walter's mind, and began to play itself out in the melodramatic theater he'd learned to succumb to... his dreams.
I wonder if Walter Sparrow is going to have a
cameo in I love you, Phillip Morris, since there is a jail scene I would
think, will Walter be way in the back ground watching, listening,helping?
Hmmmmmm, I wonder.
We will have to see...
maybe not
that is the question!

Lenny Kravitz Is Set to Star in Marvin Gaye Biopic
In a movie.
Just call us "the grapevine" because you're about to hear some Marvin Gaye–related news from us. When we spoke to Lenny Kravitz last week, he evaded a question about being cast to play Gaye in an upcoming biopic, saying, "There'll be more to come, information-wise, very shortly." He wasn't lying (maybe we should call him "the grapevine"?), as Deadline has confirmed he'll star in a film set in the eighties, when the soul legend was trying to restart his career and kick his addiction (a.k.a. the "Sexual Healing" era). The film will be directed by Julien Temple (Bullet, Absolute Beginners) and is set to shoot next year. Unlike in previous attempts to make a Gaye picture, Temple has already cleared the music rights. Which is a great thing or else we'd have to hear Kravitz sing "Ain't No Fountain Dry Enough" and "Let's Go Hit Shawn."

The Hidden Coast Paddling Festival has gotten to be such a celebrated event on the Gulf Coast – paddlers have already been registering for the October festival. After the town of Suwannee made a smashing success of the 2012 Hidden Coast Paddling Festival everyone wants in.
Tallahassee – The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer services announced the 2012 Florida aquaculture survey showed $69 million in aquaculture sales in the state last year.
Hey everyone, I want to start by saying, " Stop doing the rain dance!"
These three brothers from Jacksonville fished with Captain Voyles in Cedar Key recently and landed this 61-inch king mackerel in just 12 feet of water near Seahorse Key.
The fish had a 21-inch girth and took 25 minutes to subdue. They also caught several blacktip sharks in the 3-5 foot range. The boys said they plan to return to Cedar Key for more fantastic inshore fishing.
Florida's commercial stone crab fishery averages between 2 and 3 million pounds of claws per season and provides 99 percent of all landings in the U.S.
The Cedar Keys Light Station is nearly 159 years old. To celebrate its part in our history, the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge will host a lighthouse open house on August 3, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Bring your own boat or take a tour boat out into the Gulf to join in the fun.
Two regional blue crab trap closures are coming up and Levy County is included in one of them.
During these closures, all blue crab traps must be removed from the water. These closures help FWC identify and retrieve lost and abandoned traps from the water.
On July 10-19, blue crab traps must be removed from all waters of Broward through Pasco counties.
On July 20-29, blue crab traps must be removed from all waters of Hernando through Wakulla counties, including all waters of the Ochlockonee River and Bay.
Just a reminder for those anglers who love red snapper and its relatives:
The 2013 recreational red snapper season in Gulf of Mexico state waters will close to harvest on Monday, July 15. The last day the season will be open is Sunday, July 14.
ST. PETERSBURG. — Five people were rescued by the Coast Guard after the 32-foot boat they were aboard began taking on water 12 miles west of Cedar Key, Monday.
A member aboard the boat contacted Sector St. Petersburg watchstanders at 1:31 p.m., via VHF-FM channel 16 radio reporting they had lost an engine, were taking on water and in need of assistance.

ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT !! We stayed there for 3 nights and this place makes be want to move to San Gimignano...Poggiacolle has a very rustic Tuscan charm to it !! located on a hilltop, it offers fabulous views of San Gimignano. The apartments are fabulous and offer amazing views of the olive trees and wineyards. They also have a walking trail where you can take a 15-20 minute walk among the olive groves and wineyards. The infinity pool is an absolute revelation with amazing views of Tuscan hills and the town. Great place to watch one of the most amazing sunsets ever !! The farmhouse offers mountain bikes and also has a great picnic area for families. They also have free high speed wireless internet in the common area and have a great home cooked breakfast....!!
The owner of farmhouse Stefano is a gentleman; he helped us out figuring the most scenic routes in Siena region, helped us with great food recommendations and overall made us feel like family and made our stay pleasurable. The hotel is not too far from attractions like Montelcino, Montepulciano and Pienza....and 5 minutes from San Gimignano a small medieval town with breathtaking and charming ambiance.
Great location, Charming host, the most beautiful farmhouse apartments....COUNTRY LIVING AT ITS FINEST !!......................ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT !!!

Tomorrow is Turkey's Bosphorus Cross-Continental Swim where 750 athletes swim across the Bosphorus Strait spanning Europe and Asia, it is Rembrant's birth anniversary (1606), it is the anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald (1410 Poland and Luthuania joined forces to defeat the Knights of Teutonic) and the Battle of the Marne (1918 where the American, French and Italian forces stopped the forward progress of the Germans).
Next Saturday and Sunday (July 21 & 22) will be Pittsburgh's Vintage Grand Prix. Outside of Monte Carlo, we are the only city that can lay claim to true vintage street racing. We have been doing this for over thirty years. This is an extremely unique race, in that it is run on actual city streets, not on purpose-built tracks are in racing venues. For instance there's "road crowning", normal roads are higher in the center than on the sides to promote drainage can causes a real challenge for racers. Then there's the 22 turns on the course (three are almost 180 degrees), there are old stone walls along the edge in places, telephone poles (telepoles) :), recessed storm drainage grates and numerous other hazards to racing makes this all the more challenging. Admission is free for spectators to the race and various car shows. Saturday it runs from 8:30 am until about 6 and Sunday from 7 am until around 5. More info at their web site.
Many of you have used the intersection of I70 and I 79 down in Washington County. I remember when they first opened it and how wrong it was designed. I don't remember when, but a good while ago they redesigned parts of it and it was better, but there was still one hair pin turn (at least it seemed hair pin if you were traveling 65 mph). 🙂 Well they started fixing that last part last fall and the $35M project is slated to be completed in 2014. It will now be four lanes, two traveling straight and two using the exit.
Border collies were bred and designed to herd sheep, labs were bred and designed for water retrieval, German shepherds were bred and designed for protection. These wonderful human companions were created by us. The whole group referred to a Pitt Bulls were bred and designed for aggression. Yes, humans that have murdered have been rehabilitated or "seen the light" and deserve a second chance. Just as pitt bulls, I guess. I'm sorry, I've known people that have had them for years as pets and never had a problem. But I've also know of these dogs that went rouge for no known reason and mauled children. There is a very well meaning and dedicated group dedicated to rehabilitating pit bulls out in Cranberry called Hello Bully. Cute name. Founded in 2005 with 125 volunteers they are selling personalized bricks to help defray the cost of the shelter. The bricks will be used to create a patio area at the shelter and the bricks run from $50 to $500, depending on the size.
Time has done what CEO's and other company bigwigs have tried for years to accomplish. 🙂 Evelyn Y Davis, the famous corporate heckler has retired at the age of 82. After years of flirting and fighting with corporate VIP's and other shareholders, she's decided to call it quits. Quite the colorful lady, I hope she finds her retirement as fulling as her life had been to this point.
I went to Kathleen (Flaherty) Hall's Grand Opening of her Red Bandana Winery yesterday. It was wonderful seeing a good friend again and quite the shindig. She had her state senator, two state representative, two county commissioners, a professor from Clairion State University and many other dignitaries. What a cute facility they've built and such a perfect setting to showcase her wonderful artwork.
Above she's cutting the ribbon and below is a wonderful Veranda which will become legendary (if I know Kathleen) for hosting events, wine tastings and art shows.
And this was a family affair. Her mother, Carole made the chandeliers and lamps (she's quite the accomplished stained glass artist herself. Unfortunately, the pictures I took of the lights didn't turn out. I sampled the Chambourcin red wine, I was afraid it was going to be too sweet, but it was just right for me.
Kathleen is quite the accomplished artist. In case you don't know, she's the one that did all the watermark murals on the first floor of my Inn. If you want to see more of her artwork, visit her web site Flaherty Art.
Well, the sun has come out and I'm going to go out as well 🙂 Have a great weekend,

Damian Yea, I know I won't make it to all those countries in one year. That's my dream list. I don't want to rush, so even if I get to half the list I'll be happy. Todd, when you say 'stuck,' do you mean not by choice? Ouch. I'd like to hear that story.
Lauren, I want to do a little bit of everything. My plan is to stay in some nice hotels in key destination. Backpack, coach surf and hosteling for legs of the trip, get a car and road trip for other parts of the trip. I don't have anything planned yet, but I don't want to have a set itinerary. I'll figure it out as I go. Not sure yet if I want to start in South America or Australia. I want to leave Europe for last.

Fuel Tech, Inc.incorporated in 1987, is an integrated company that uses a suite of technologies to provide boiler optimization, efficiency improvement and air pollution reduction and control solutions to utility and industrial customers worldwide (see related article China's Coal Power Pollution). Fuel Tech's special focus is the worldwide marketing of its nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction and FUEL CHEM processes. The NOx reduction technology segment, which includes the NOxOUT, NOxOUT CASCADE, NOxOUT ULTRA and NOxOUT-SCR processes, reduces NOx emissions in flue gas from boilers, incinerators, furnaces and other stationary combustion sources. The FUEL CHEM technology segment improves the efficiency, reliability and environmental status of combustion units by controlling slagging, fouling, corrosion, opacity, acid plume and loss on ignition, as well as the formation of sulfur trioxide, ammonium bisulfate, particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon dioxide and NOx through the addition of chemicals into the fuel or via TIFI Targeted In-Furnace Injection programs. The Company has other technologies, both commercial and in the development stage, which are related to the NOxOUT and FUEL CHEM processes or are similar in their technological base.
The Company's NOx reduction technologies are installed worldwide on over 400 combustion units, including utility, industrial and municipal solid waste applications. Products include customized NOx control systems and urea-to-ammonia conversion technology, which provides reagent for use in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. Fuel Tech's NOxOUT process is a selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) process that uses non-hazardous urea as the reagent rather than ammonia. The NOxOUT process on its own is capable of reducing NOx by up to 40% for utilities. Fuel Tech's NOxOUT CASCADE process uses catalyst as an addition to the NOxOUT process. Fuel Tech's NOxOUT-SCR process utilizes urea as a catalyst reagent to achieve NOx reductions of up to 85% from smaller stationary combustion sources. Its NOxOUT ULTRA system is designed to convert urea to ammonia for use as a reagent in the SCR process for NOx reduction.
In this sector, the Company competes with:
The FUEL CHEM technology segment revolves around the application of specialty chemicals to improve the efficiency, reliability and environmental status of plants operating in the electric utility, industrial, pulp and paper, and waste-to-energy markets. FUEL CHEM programs are in place on over 50 combustion units, treating a variety of solid and liquid fuels, including coal, heavy oil, biomass and municipal waste. Central to the FUEL CHEM approach is the introduction of chemical reagents, such as magnesium hydroxide, to combustion units via in-body fuel application (pre-combustion) or via direct injection (post-combustion) utilizing Fuel Tech's TIFI technology. By attacking performance-hindering problems, such as slagging, fouling, corrosion, opacity, acid plume and loss on ignition (LOI), as well as the formation of sulfur trioxide (SO3), ammonium bisulfate (ABS), particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon dioxide (CO2) and NOx, the Company's programs offer operational, financial and environmental benefits to owners of boilers, furnaces and other combustion units. The principal market for this product line is the continued use of coal as the principal fuel source for global electricity production.
The FUEL CHEM division competes with:

Officials on Vancouver Island are feuding over how to manage the deer population according to a report in the Victoria Times Colonist.
Two members of the Capital Regional District's deer advisory committee have resigned, saying the process is broken beyond repair.
According to the story, the pair said they both went into the process with open minds. However, they found the structure of the advisory committee bogged down in opinion. They cited lack of expert evidence a poor facilitator and a farming bias.
According to the report, the 11-member committee was appointed in April to come up with recommendations for dealing with deer in the region.
The topic is highly controversial, the news outlet reported, with some Victoria residents adamantly opposed to killing deer and others arguing that numbers have to be reduced to stop gardens being gobbled, crops destroyed and people being injured in deer-vehicle collisions. The CRD has received 900 letters and emails on the subject.

— Darnell D
Amityville, NY
This is my 2nd piece of the Diecast collection(Iron Patriot 1st). It does not disappoint. Face sculpt is spot on and the rest of the figure detail is just insane. He is the highlight of my collection.
— Mike Hockenson
Port Charlotte, FL
This was my first sixth scale figure, and this figure is extraordinary! It looks amazing just standing on my desk as it can hold its own perfectly without the figure stand. The shoulder armors are quite troublesome though, as without the proper movement, it collides with the back armor. Must. Have.
— Michael
Boston, MA
Even better than pictures!
I own a lot of SS and HT pieces but this was my first sixth scale Iron Man and the detail is amazing! The face sculpt is so much better in person and the LEDs are extremely bright. The switches are a pain to get to though. Worth every penny!
— Phil Gibson
Charlotte, NC
This piece is absolutely amazing. The detail is unmatched and will stand out in any collection. I own a number of Sideshow pieces and this is must have.

I have been reading where many system administrators have decided to block all access to their systems from IP addresses that do not resolve. I have heard and read both sides of the debate and see this as the "golden double-edged sword" where it could be a blessing beyound all or a devistating curse.
I would like input and opinions from AO users. I have been considering this for two years now for my servers seeing that harvesters and spammers tend to proliferate in the unresolvable blocks.
Any input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

NBC News has a Senate source telling them David Petraeus will be appearing at the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, where a closed hearing on the terror attack in Benghazi is on the schedule. CNBC's Ryan Ruggiero's tweeted that scoop comes from a "veteran senator"
Fox News has confirmed that scoop with a report of their own. And according to the Senate Intelligence Committee's release from October 25, tomorrow's hearing is a closed hearing on the 9/11 Benghazi murders:
The committee will hold a closed oversight hearing on Thursday, November 15, with additional hearings to follow.

ALBANY, N.Y. – Members of the New York State Assembly are expected to pass a gun control bill Tuesday backed by the governor and already approved by the Senate.
The bill, widely expected to pass the Democratic-led Assembly on Tuesday, would make New York the first state to act in response to the school shooting that killed 26 people in Newtown, Conn.
The bill expands New York's assault weapons law to include semiautomatic pistols, rifles and shotguns with detachable magazines and one of several military-style features. New Yorkers who already own weapons banned under the expanded measure would be allowed to keep them but would have to register them with the state.
According to the text of the law , mental health practitioners would be required to report to local mental health officials when they believe a patient is likely to harm themselves or others. Law enforcement officers would then be authorized to confiscate that person's firearms. According to The New York Times, therapists would not be sanctioned for a failure to report such patients if they acted "in good faith."
The legislature's website said the Assembly vote was scheduled to take place around 11 a.m.

When a guy sits down and his junk creates a noticeable bulge in his pants; Looks like a donkey that's passed out with its tongue hanging out of the side of its mouth; A male camel toe.
You should see this photo I have from my buddy's wedding. Anderino Panderini is sitting down in these tight tux pants and he's got a major donkey tongue.

The term window blinds can also be used to describe window coverings generically—in this context window blinds include almost every type of window covering, i.e. shutters, roller blinds, cellular shades (also called honeycomb shades), wood blinds, roman blinds and of course, standard vertical and horizontal blinds. In the United Kingdom, awnings are sometimes called blinds or shades.
Vertical blinds use a generally wider slat and one can pull a cord to stack the slats together, to one side, or to separate them in the centre and stack them on each end. The slats can be rotated via a rotating shaft in the upper head rail housing, which runs through independent geared carriers that convert the twisting of a tilt rail to a rotation of each individual slat in synchrony. The original vertical blinds were invented in Kansas City, Missouri by Edward Bopp and Fredrick Bopp, who held the original patent. The company name at the time was Sun Vertical. In the 1960s, the patent and company were sold.
Window blinds can be manually drawn using a cord, or automated through motorization. Controls for motorized blinds can be from a wall switch or keypad, remote control, or computer, eliminating the need for cords and allowing control of otherwise inaccessible windows. A number of modern homes are integrating blind control with central C-Bus solutions. This control provides ease-of-use and is effective for controlling blind operation to reduce heat loss during winter or minimize heat from the sun during summer.
