Germany is a particularly important part of our company. With well over 2,800 people working across the country, it is one of the Group's top 10 performing countries, and is the number 2 company in the German beer market.
This means becoming the most profitable beer company, focusing on sustainable growth. It also means we need to attract the best people, to fulfil the promise of the best brands.
Beer is a foundation of social networks and we can achieve more by bringing more people together, more often. To do this we need to think about the events and activities that we can facilitate to bring people together - as we have done throughout our history.
We take responsibility. We act on everything from responsible drinking, through environmental impact and on to our role in the wider community. So we work hard to achieve social good. An ethical approach means how we work is as important as what we do and how we relate to our consumers.
Any dream is by definition, a stretch. Our dream is not to be good - it is to be the best. This means having the best people working on the world's top brands - all made from the highest quality ingredients. Building the best, most sustainably profitable and growing beer company in the world should be our shared dream.
Beer brings people together. And we believe that we can grow by bringing more people together, more often. The World Cup, celebrations, local sporting events, sponsorships - all these are opportunities identified by our people. So while beer is a building block of social networks, our business's building blocks are the best people - those who can take what we have done so far, and make it better.
We are constantly raising the bar, working together to reach and exceed our goals. Through our Better World strategy, we accomplished a number of these goals in 2013. And it is a tribute to the positive impact passionate people can have when they're determined to make difference. Yet while we made good strides, there is still more we can do and must-do. We are never completely satisfied.
Our shared dream energizes everyone to work in the same direction: to be the Best Beer Company Bringing People Together For a Better World.

ANNAPOLIS, MD -- The U.S. Naval Academy honored one of its pioneers with the March 25 groundbreaking of the Wesley Brown Field House, a 140,000-square-foot athletic facility named for the Academy's first African American graduate.
Lt. Cmdr. Wesley A. Brown was the sixth African American to enter the Naval Academy, and in 1949, he became the Academy's first African American graduate (Photo: Capt. Bruce Grooms stands with Ret. Lt. Cmdr. Wesley Brown at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Wesley Brown Field House at the U.S. Naval Academy. U.S. Navy photo by Journalist 2nd class Matt Jarvis).
"This world is changing very quickly," said Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Mullen, guest speaker at the groundbreaking ceremony. "But when you think about change with respect to diversity in our Navy and in our nation and you hearken back to the time when Wesley came to the Naval Academy, what a heroic step, what a courageous move, and what a long lasting and historic contribution he made."
Brown, who served in the Navy's Civil Engineer Corps for 20 years, is the namesake for the new field house that will contain facilities for physical education, varsity and intramural athletics, club sports and personal fitness. It will also offer a centralized medical facility within proximity to outdoor fields.
The mission of the U.S. Naval Academy is to develop Midshipmen morally, mentally and physically to prepare them to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship and government. U.S. Naval Academy Superintendent Vice Adm. Rodney P. Rempt believes athletics play a key role.
"It teaches teamwork, leadership, determination, and all those characteristics that we are looking for in young officers," Rempt said. "It teaches our Midshipmen how to be combat leaders and how to persevere in the fate of a good leader. It is fitting that this new field house be named after a man who epitomizes the spirit of perseverance."
The $45 million construction contract will take about two years to complete.

OAKLAND - Continuing the drive to rebuild California's infrastructure and spur job growth, the California Transportation Commission has allocated nearly $1 billion to 135 transportation projects statewide.
Approximately $600 million in funding was provided by Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. The remaining allocations came from assorted state and federal transportation accounts. In total, about $13.8 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been distributed statewide.
"Proposition 1B continues to fund key transportation projects, which translates into a strengthened economy," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. "Investing in our infrastructure will improve mobility and create a better future for Californians."
Some of the notable local projects that received funding include:
- Marin County - $17,244,000 to extend the northbound U.S. Route 101 HOV lane from Atherton Avenue to 1.4 miles south of Redwood Landfill Road; and $4,700,000 to extend the U.S. Route 101 southbound HOV lane from Novato Creek to the Franklin/railroad overcrossing.
- Sonoma County - $32,800,000 to modify the U.S. Route 101/State Route 116 interchange in Petaluma. The project will widen 101 to accommodate new HOV lanes, and realign the northbound on and off ramps.

The knee-jerk market reaction to today's unexpected contraction in fourth-quarter U.S. GDP was selling. Risk assets dropped immediately on the release, and gold, Treasuries, and the U.S. dollar spiked higher.
Now, risk assets are recovering their losses, and bonds and dollars are going back down.
Gold, however, keeps going higher. It topped out at $1682 and is trading just above $1680 right now. It was trading around $1665 before the GDP announcement at 8:30 AM.
Now, it's up 1.1 percent on the day after struggling in the past few sessions (click to enlarge):

Washakie Wilderness
Ralph Maughan
Ralph Maughan
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Washakie Wilderness (map) in 1964 and it now has a total of 693,933 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Wyoming and is managed by the Forest Service. The Washakie Wilderness is bordered by the Teton Wilderness to the west.
DescriptionChief Washakie was a historical figure and leader of the Shoshone tribe of Wyoming. In 1972, the Stratified Primitive Area was joined with South Absaroka Wilderness to form the Wilderness area (Wyoming's largest) that now bears his name. Yellowstone National Park borders to the northwest, Teton Wilderness to the west, and the Wind River Indian Reservation to the southeast--a combination of lands that stretches across a tremendous part of western Wyoming and is one of the greatest wild regions of America. In the southern Absarokas you'll find broad, flat-topped mountains and plateaus separating narrow valleys that have been deeply incised with exposed volcanic strata. This volcanic material lies primarily horizontal and has been eroded into irregular step-like cliffs and buttes. These unique geological formations, in addition to petrified forests and many fossils of long-gone plants and animals, are among the most attractive attributes of this area. Elevations range from about 6,600 feet to 13,153 feet, and peaks exceeding 12,000 feet are scattered throughout the Wilderness. Large portions are rough and barren, and vegetation is sparse. Approximately half the area is forested. With fewer lakes than the Wind River Mountains, the fishing is less active here, but large streams do support trout. Nonetheless, the wildlife population and diversity is extraordinary. Bobcats, coyotes, foxes, beavers, and numerous smaller furbearers, as well as bald eagles and peregrine falcons, can be spotted. Lucky visitors may see bull elk sparring or catch a glimpse of a moose. Hunters come for elk, moose, bighorn sheep, mule deer, and black bears. Grizzly bears, wolves and mountain lions are numerous and on the increase. Travelers should take appropriate precautions. There are many miles of trails and the relative openness of much of the area encourages off-trail hiking. Snow may fall any day of the year in the higher country, and summer temperatures rarely rise above 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Be prepared for rain showers in late summer.

Day of reckoning for commercial real estate in 2012 – largest amount of loans maturing next year as $150 billion in CRE debt comes due. Federal Reserve running out of options in hiding financially disastrous real estate loans.
- 4 Comment
The Federal Reserve has tried its best to hide the secrets of past banking blunders deep in its balance sheet. Commercial real estate (CRE) loans made in haste during the real estate bubble are part of this national disgrace in banking folly. As the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury digitally print the dollar into oblivion the bad CRE loans still linger in the Fed balance sheet. As it turns out the Fed has become the dumping ground for all things real estate and has traded toxic loans for quality liquidity to fuel the banks back up. CRE debt in the form of empty shopping malls, failed hotels, and tumbleweed occupied strip malls is only a flavor of what the Fed is taking on. Yet many of these loans are still occupying the balance sheet of many banks. As it turns out, there was so much junk in the CRE market that the Fed could only balloon their balance sheet and still not encompass one half of the CRE market. Many CRE loans are coming due in 2012. Is the day of reckoning for CRE coming in 2012?
$150 billion coming due in CRE loans in 2012
Over $150 billion in CRE loans are maturing in 2012 bringing the day of reckoning closer. Why is this a problem? First, the CRE market has completely imploded:
Source: MIT
CRE values just like residential real estate have cratered and are down over 50 percent since their peak. Much of these properties require actual economic streams of income coming in for example in strip mall rents or hotel occupancies to keep servicing the debt. Unlike a home that has other sentimental values a CRE property is strictly a business decision. The Federal Reserve is seeing the tanking of valuations at the absolute worst time. The Fed treating the crisis as one of liquidity simply exchanged U.S. Treasuries for toxic CRE debt to drinking buddy banks. After all what is the harm in keeping the junk for a few years and when prices recover, a simple hand off and the public has no idea what happened except they just have to contend with greater goods inflation as their purchasing power falls through the floor. However the bailouts of 2007 never helped the overall economy because the crisis is one of solvency, not liquidity. The working and middle class are struggling because their purchasing power has washed away over the decades and the bailouts were simply geared to the too big to fail banks.
CRE is a giant problem because the number of buyers vying for a strip mall is relatively small. Unlike a residential property, if the price drops low enough on a home the market will respond. If a strip mall was poorly built in a bad location you may have no buyers regardless of cost. And make no mistake banks have shut the door on CRE fairly hard:
Source: World Property Channel
The fiasco in CRE can only last so long. The Fed balance sheet has exploded during this crisis and you can rest assured billions of dollars in CRE loans are floating in the un-audited figures:
CRE is merely following the pattern outlined by the residential real estate bubble effectively creating a situation where a double bubble developed:
Source: The American
2012 is looking like the day of reckoning for CRE debt. First, you have an American public that is absolutely frustrated by the ineffective handouts to the banking system of the country. The hunger for a full Fed audit is getting louder and louder. Politicians will sway in the way of their financial backers but only to the extent they feel they can get away with their smoke and mirrors and deceive the public. That shell game is becoming harder and harder to maintain. At what point does the government step in and do what is best for the economy and not the big banking interests? How does bailing out a failing hotel or empty strip mall really help the average working American? It doesn't. Banks were eager to make these loans and profited handsomely during the bubble. Now they don't want to deal with the consequences of taking on too much risk so they rather socialize the losses on the public. This is not capitalism but a banking corporatocracy. CRE debt will come due in large amounts in 2012 and unless prices soar to the sky in the next year, some major rebalancing will need to occur.
There is no inflating out of the real estate mess and CRE is no exception. Unless household incomes go up disposable income is going to get tighter. We are already seeing more money being eaten up by food and energy and baby boomers will definitely see more money flowing into the healthcare industry complex. From one frying pan to another it will become about priorities and CRE will move lower on the list. The day of reckoning for CRE is coming next year and only time will tell how the market will respond.

I've been wondering when CRE was gonig to tank. It was in a bubble like residential. I agree the stimlus and bailouts only benefit the big bankers (who are still Too big to fail). Inflation will spiral out of control as all the pent up bank money finds it's way into the market.

Arthritis in children a different form of disease
TARGETED treatments may be needed for children with arthritis, Melbourne researchers say, after discovering that cartilage inside children's joints breaks down in a different way to adults.
In a study published in the journal Arthritis and Rheumatism, researchers from the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute analysed components of cartilage in the fluid inside the joints of children with juvenile arthritis.
They found the pattern of components was different to that found in adults with arthritis, suggesting that different enzymes were damaging the cartilage, in a finding that indicates juvenile arthritis is a distinct condition. About 5000 children in Australia have juvenile arthritis, a chronic disease that causes persistent inflammation in the joints and can result in long-term damage to bone and cartilage. Current treatments are designed to manage and ease inflammation in affected joints, but there are no treatments to manage or prevent cartilage erosion.
While such treatments are being developed for adults - which could mean the need for joints to be replaced is avoided - lead researcher Amanda Fosang said her study showed they may not work in children. ''The findings support a need to understand more about the mechanisms driving cartilage erosion in patients with juvenile arthritis, because the cartilage-sparing drugs currently in development for adult therapies might not be useful for preventing cartilage erosion in children,'' she said.
Royal Children's Hospital rheumatologist Jonathan Akikusa said despite major improvements in anti-inflammatory treatments for children with arthritis over the past decade, cartilage erosion leading to irreparable joint abnormalities remained a long-term risk for some young patients.
''For some forms of arthritis, cartilage loss can be a significant problem, particularly in the hips,'' he said.
''We certainly have a few teenagers every couple of years who need to have their hips replaced because they have lost their hip cartilage, despite the fact their arthritis has been relatively well-controlled.
''If we had the ability to add in a drug that doesn't act on the arthritis so much but acts on cartilage breakdown, we may be able to slow that down and potentially allow those kids to keep their hips into young adulthood and beyond.
''There is definitely a sub-group of kids with arthritis where the ability to modify the loss of cartilage may have a huge impact on their quality of life.''
Connie Parker, whose four-year-old daughter Annabel was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis when she was about 17 months old, said it was encouraging researchers were discovering more about the condition. She said doctors initially thought swelling in Annabel's right knee, which caused her to limp as a toddler, was due to an infection, but she was diagnosed with arthritis a few months later.
The condition is now controlled with anti-inflammatory medication - allowing Annabel to do all her favourite things, including ballet - and doctors are hopeful she will have no long-term joint damage.

Had these on for about 2 years and 7K miles. Two tires have developed bubbles in the side walls. There is a humming noise at highway speeds and the side walls are extremely soft. There is a lot of roll when turning anything above 20mph.
If you drive in a straight line on smooth pavement and do not have to turn at any speed above 20mph, this is the tire for you.

I bought a set of 4 and since having these tires the ride is much more smooth. These tires react well in wet conditions and amazing in dry conditions. Although, living in southern California I do not drive in snow nearly ever, I can not give much of a review on icy or snowy conditions. I would definitely buy this brand again and this buy was definitely not a regret.

Have had these about 6 months. Replaced well worn set of Fuzion HRIs. Will replace the HRIs on my wifes car with these when necessary in the next few months. Great price, even better quality. Highly recommend.

I wanted a smoother, quieter ride from my 17" low profile tires on my Accord. I wasn't happy with the ride comfort of the Kumho Ecsta's that I last purchased. I love these Fuzion's! Much smoother ride, yet still has excellent handling characteristics.
Moreover, the price is excellent.

Great dry grip, no worries, corners well and good stopping traction.
5 out of 5Submitted by Jim in Tennessee on 9/6/2012(2006 Honda Accord LX V6)
I purchased the Fuzion tires in October 2010. The mileage on my car was 62,025. I couldn't ask for a better inexpensive tire. Great traction, low noise level and decent wear-n-tear... Now it's August 2012 and approx 45,000 miles later, my tires still have a decent amount of treadwear left.
5 out of 5Submitted by Brady in Colorado on 9/6/2012(2007 Ford Focus SE)
Good tire for the price. They handle, corner and ride very well in the wet. Good ride quailtiy on dry roads too but seems like a better wet weather tire. Wear has been great! A fairly quite tire.
Strongly consider these tires.

Jeremiah Riggs aka Big Rig, was the latest contestant to be eliminated from Daisy of Love. The MMA fighter discusses his elimination, his thoughts on Daisy's reaction to his son, his missing teeth and his new girlfriend (Marcia from Rock of Love Bus & Charm School 3) in his new interview with VH1.
Below are excerpts from this interview –
It seemed like you were really upset after being eliminated.
Yeah, I was. I ain't gonna lie to you. It sucked, you know? I don't really know how to explain it. I guess when you know you're the better person, don't no one like to just necessarily lose. I sure as f*** don't.
Was it just a matter of losing the game, or were you upset at all about not being able to get closer to Daisy?
For the time given and spent, yeah. What can you say when you got 20 other people and you're all trying to get her attention? You only have so much time anyways and you have to make the best of it. I believe I did that by all means. It's just, you know…she's gonna do what she wants to do.
It did seem that you were really into her. You said you were falling in love with her.
I was. It was real and everything. She's a cool girl. I liked her, just the presence of her and everything. Just a really good vibe. When you're feeling good things, why not express the way you feel?
What did you think about her reaction to you giving her the picture of your son?
Not saying that it was a bad reaction, but she's got to understand that I'm a package deal. And I do it the same with any other girl. I got to let them know that I come with more than just a bang.

NORTHAMPTON, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's track and field team had a couple of good performances on the first day of the two-day, Eastern College Athletic Championships at the Smith College Fieldhouse Saturday.
Junior Linee Mello-Frost (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS) finished seventh in the 55 meter hurdle trials in 8.59 seconds. Her performance allowed her to advance to Saturday's finals. Junior Nick Deininger (North Attleboro, MA/ North Attleboro HS) was fourth in his heat and 17th overall in the 55 meter hurdles in 8.20 seconds, while junior Jermai Harrison (Brockton, MA/Brockton HS) threw the shot put 36 feet, 10 inches and was 10th overall.
"It was good to for Linee to qualify for the finals," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "It's the best she's done since she set the school record at 8.49 seconds as a freshman. Nick turned in a solid performance, and it was a good way for him to end his season. It's a tribute to him that he was able to get to the ECACs."
The Corsairs will conclude action at the ECAC Championships Saturday.

Steve Eichert needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 53 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
We'd like a simple, clean, logo designed for the http://www.fflfreeagents.com (Fantasy Football League Free Agents) website.
We'd like a logo created for our fantasy football free agency site: http://www.fflfreeagents.com. The logo should be simple and clean and should incorporate the central theme for the site (football) into the logo. We'd like the logo to include the URL, but also have a distinct graphical element.
The site, when launched, will allow for fantasy football leagues to allow the teams within the league to bid on players that are not currently on any team (free agency). The highest bidder wins the rights to the player. The bidding is done in a silent auction style.
The major benefit of using the site is that you have the ability to make your free agency process work more closely to the way it's handled in the NFL, while at the same time growing the money that is available for payouts.
The domain name fflfreeagents.com is using the FFL abbreviation which is for Fantasy Football League.

goes down for all chocoholics like me. Today I am gonna tell you about your
heaven, so all chocolate lovers, do pay some attention here.
Chocolate, is your ultimate destiny if you love chocolates as much as I do. There
are three Brugge outlets in Pune:
Saraswati Bhavan,
Paud Road, Kothrud, Pune – 411 038
Mob : 9579246878
Shop No 5, Shankar Parvati Chambers,
Dhole Patil Road, Pune – 411 001
Phone : 020 65002180
Disha Apartment,
Niyoshi Park, Sanghvi Nagar. Aundh Pune- 411 007
Mob : 9579246878
Outlets in itself are so tempting, that once you step in, you surely cannot come
out empty handed. The large showrooms are designed and decorated beautifully.
guys out there, if you want to woo the heart of any girl or ever get confused
as to what gift you should give to your girlfriend- go and pick a basket from
Brugge. They simply look delicious. I bet no girl can ever refuse it.
you will find some awesome Belgian chocolates, Milk chocolates, Dark chocolates
and even sugar free chocolates. So even diabetic chocolate lovers will find
some ultimate treat here. Most importantly, if you happen to visit Brugge, do
not forget to treat yourself with a glass of Chocolate Shot. Trust me when I
say, the chocolate shot here is better than those of Chocolate room or Café Chocolade.
The smooth chocolate shot here makes you get lost in some chocolaty world like
how the Five Start advertisement says.
cannot rate the place; it's beyond all ratings as per me. I am simply in love
with Brugge. .

Many buildings. Many battles.
Oxtoby honored for a lifetime of historic preservation
"What did I know about restoring old buildings when I started out? Absolutely nothing," recalls Carolyn Oxtoby, who is often called "the patron saint of downtown Springfield" for her work as a real estate developer. Recently Oxtoby was in Chicago to receive the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from Landmarks Illinois as part of the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation's initiative to recognize Illinois citizens and communities committed to protecting their architectural heritage.
Oxtoby says she probably became a preservationist before the term was widely known. Although she liked history, she studied French language and literature in the 1950s at Mt. Holyoke College in South Hadley, Mass. Then she came home to Springfield and married Bob Oxtoby, an up and coming young attorney.
"I spent the next 20 or so years raising three kids. Nothing I'd ever done prepared me to save historic structures from demolition. I guess you can say I learned on the job. In the process I found the passion that has carried me through the past 40 years."
Oxtoby, 79, credits local history enthusiasts Jim and Edith Myers with igniting her preservationist sensibilities in the mid 1970s when they asked her to help them buy and restore the Lincoln Herndon Law Office at Sixth and Adams streets.
"I learned a lot doing the law office," she says. "We hired then state historian Jim Hickey to research and authenticate the building using what sources were available, including the Library of Congress. The state owns it now, and they know a lot more now about how the building was actually configured in Lincoln's time. We put our time and resources into it, but our priority when we took it on was saving it." Oxtoby doesn't recall how much the project cost them.
"The Myers had their Prairie House art gallery and shop there, so there was commercial space in addition to historic interpretation space. But we never charged admission for visitors to see the office or court rooms. It was something we considered important to anchor historic downtown."
Oxtoby credits her husband's legal and financial knowledge for helping her learn the basics of real estate development. She likes the hands-on involvement of construction, but relies heavily on local architects to manage her projects.
Among the many commercial buildings she has restored and adapted for reuse is a commercial block along South Sixth Street that includes Maldaner's Restaurant and the adjacent Trout Lily Cafe where she has lived in an upstairs apartment since her husband's death a decade ago. She says she relishes the experience of living downtown. "If I ever feel lonely, I just walk downstairs and find people I know up and down the street. It's a great way to live."
Her first solo undertaking was the total renovation of her family-owned Pasfield Building at Sixth and Monroe streets. that now houses Merrill Lynch, and includes a modern addition and off-street parking. The project came about because of land left to her and her brother, Steve Bartholf. "Steve took the farm land, and I took the downtown buildings," she says. Since then she has rehabilitated five 19th century commercial buildings, creating 30 rental and condo apartments in the downtown area.
"Carolyn's projects helped spark the renovation of other historic downtown storefronts and brought new activity back to downtown Springfield," says James Peters, Landmarks Illinois president. All of her apartments are occupied, usually by lobbyists and legislators. She says she's less concerned about state government's shaky financial situation than she is about getting more places downtown where people with disposable income can dine and shop.
"Retail follows rooftops," she says. "When I decide on a project I look at it like a renter would. I can't remember ever being asked where a tenant can park. Instead of waiting for offices to fill back up, we need places where people can live. Recently I've had calls from two different couples wanting to retire downtown."
A member of numerous boards and commissions, Oxtoby helped found the Springfield Heritage Foundation which accepts donations of historic properties and matches them with prospective developers who will restore or rehabilitate them.
"She has accomplished great things in her hometown and is an example to all of us," the awards jury noted. "Many buildings, many battles. Nothing seems to have daunted her."

I am looking for glossy card stock that is 8.5 in. X 11 in. with a crease in the middle so the card can be folded to a final size of 8.5 in. X 5.5 in. You claim that your in.traditional size in. glossy cards are 5 in. X 7 in. That seems to imply that they are not folded cards, but more like large postcards. Can you please clarify for me?- Asked by Georgianne Giese on 05-May-13
The Digital Photo Cards are 5 in. x 7 in. and are flat, not folded. We do not stock 8.5 in. X 11 in. card stock paper with a crease. However, we do carry flat 8.5 in.

- http://www.funeducationalapps.com
"This is a very fun and stimulating educational app and I highly recommend it."
- http://theappreviewer.com/
If you have small children that are just starting to learn things like colors, you may be somewhat puzzled as to the best way to go about teaching them the colors of the world. Be puzzled no more, because the best way is with "Music Color" for your touch device.
"Music Color" is almost alive. It's an incredible combination of a kid-friendly interface, astonishing imagery and classical music. Those three elements combine to produce a spectacular product that is unlike anything else seen on the App Store.
The sole purpose of this app is to educate. To be more specific, it educates your children in a very specific field – color. What they will see upon opening the app is a palette of colors. Simply tap any one you like and you will dive into the world of that particular color.
Let's take Blue for example. Tap blue and you will see cartoon-style objects that you may associate that color with, like the ocean, or a blue umbrella. There are 9 objects for every color. When you tap each object you will be taken on a journey around the world with spectacular photos of where these objects are found.
Not only will you kids love it, but your jaw will literally drop when you see some of the photos. And for each object, there are 5 photos. So if you do the math, 12 colors, 9 objects per color and 5 photos per object, which equals a staggering 540 incredible photos!
Overall this app will entertain you just as much if not more than your learning child. With so many incredible photos to explore, you'll love sitting down with your kid to show them what colors are all about.

By the time Patriots coach Bill Belichick meets with the media on Wednesday, he may view it as a relief.
A league source tells PFT that the Jonathan Fanene grievance hearing is proceeding this week as scheduled, with Belichick among the witnesses testifying under oath. (Unlike a press conference, he'll be asked the questions over and over again until he gives real answers.)
The Patriots signed Fanene as a free agent last year, giving him a $3.85 million signing bonus. He received $2.5 million of it, and the team wants to block the rest and recoup "some or all" of the amount already paid.
The Patriots allege Fanene has arthritis in his left knee, and that he hid from the team the fact that needs prescription drugs to practice and play.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. - Two brothers from Westchester who star for the Notre Dame Track Club in Yonkers were earned medals at the USA Track and Field Junior Olympics National Outdoor Championships.
Jaden and Kyle Snow of Mamaroneck took their talents to Lawrence, Kansas recently, where they both made a coveted trip to the podium after falling behind and storming to strong finishes at the national competition.
Competing in the boy's 9-10 triathlon - which features the shot put, high jump and 400-meter sprint - Kyle found himself in 10th place after struggling in the shot put. By virtue of a 1:10.73 finish in the 400-meter race, he found himself in third place, earning a bronze medal.
His brother, competing in the pentathlon, struggled early on, landing in 13th place entering the last race, the 1,500-meter race. Jaden ran the fastest time in the event (5:04.23) and catapulted himself into sixth place, good for a spot at the podium.
By virtue of their podium finish, the brothers got to meet one of their favorite athletes, two-time gold medalist Ashton Eaton, a decathlete who has claimed the top prize at the last two Olympics.
"I am still in disbelief that I was able to meet Ashton Eaton a day before my competition," Jaden stated. "To receive my medal from him the next day was so amazing,"

However, I have two looks I managed to photograph and I can share.
This one was done with a lot of stuff (all Mac): Artifact paintpot, Sketch, Expensive Pink, Seedy Pearl, Carbon and Fig 1 eyeshadows. And, of course, a lot of blending.
And this is my New Year's eve look, featuring Mac Solar Bits in Bronzescape, and Mac Gilt by Association.

Alleged Diaz Confession Going Before South Dakota High Court
MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - The South Dakota Supreme Court will hear an appeal of a judge's decision to toss out an alleged confession in the killing of a Mitchell teenager.
Prosecutors say Maricela Diaz waived her right to remain silent when she was questioned about the November 2009 death of 16-year-old Jasmine Guevara. But Judge Tim Bjorkman ruled last August that police failed to properly inform Diaz of her rights.
Diaz was 15 years old at the time of Guevara's death but is being tried as an adult. She's now 18.
Prosecutors want the state Supreme Court to overturn Bjorkman's ruling. The Daily Republic reports that justices will decide after both sides submit briefs.
Diaz's boyfriend, Alexander Salgado, pleaded guilty to murder in the case earlier and is serving life in prison.

Jack Parker makes retirement from BU official
When Boston University hired Jack Parker as its head hockey coach in 1973, Parker had a memorable chat with his ex-college coach about the position.
"When I got the job, my former coach Jack Kelley called me up and congratulated me,'' said Parker. "I remember it like it was yesterday. I said, 'Jack, I really appreciate that. I'll be calling you for some help but I'll tell you one thing, I won't be on this job 10 years like you were.' And I wasn't.''
No, he wasn't. Parker, who turned 68 Monday, lasted 40 often remarkable years behind the Terriers bench. He officially announced his retirement, which will commence at the conclusion of the 2012-13 season, Monday at Agganis Arena.
"It's been a great run, I've had a great time doing it,'' said Parker, who has 894 career victories, three national titles, and a record 24 NCAA Tournament appearances heading into this weekend's Hockey East quarterfinals against Merrimack. "It's time. It's a tough job. I always say hello and goodbye to every coach we play against and I always do that because we're a group of few people who know exactly how tough this job is. It takes a lot out of you, there are lot of rewards as well.''
Parker thought about hanging up his whistle after last season but there was well-publicized turmoil around the team and he didn't want to go out that way. He elected to announce it Monday because he didn't want a farewell tour and he didn't think it was fair to wait until the end of the year to blindside his players.
"I always talk about BU being a family,'' said Parker. "I've got two daughters and about 226 sons. The team I have right now are my youngest sons and I'm not going to have any more children. I wanted the team to know we are going to go through this together.''
Parker, who said it was his decision to step down, has had his contract extended through 2017-18 and will be staying on as a special adviser to the president of the university, Dr. Robert A. Brown, with a key role in BU's billion-dollar fundraising campaign announced last fall.
One of the best parts of his career was tied to the worst moment of his career, when Travis Roy suffered a devastating injury Oct. 20, 1995 during Roy's first collegiate shift, leaving him a quadriplegic.
"I always tell people the worst thing that happened to me as the hockey coach at BU is Travis Roy's injury and the best thing that ever happened to me at BU was the way Boston University and the hockey community responded to Travis Roy's injury,'' said Parker. "The hockey community is a great thing to be part of.''
One of Parker's former players, Chris O'Sullivan, who is now an NHL scout as well as a Boston police officer, said it was a very emotional day for him.
"My mother had cancer when I was 17 when I came to make my commitment to BU,'' said O'Sullivan, who started going to BU hockey games when he was just 6 and was on the 1995 NCAA championship team.
"She was in a wheelchair and Jack went over and had a conversation with her and it was her last months. It's a sad day in a way but it's a very proud day to be a part of the university and part of the hockey program in particular.''
O'Sullivan said Parker has special meaning to everyone he has coached. Parker was a guiding light for him when he lost both his parents to cancer.
"It goes to show you he has touched everyone personally,'' said O'Sullivan.
"Mentor is not the word, he's a guy we have looked at as a second father and a special friend. He has touched our lives off the ice as much as he did on the ice. It's a day of reflection but it's also exciting that he is going out on his terms.''
Former BU player and Olympic champion Dave Silk said Parker is more than just BU hockey.
"I think Jack is right there with John Silber in terms of visibility and credibility and prestige for the university,'' said Silk. "Parker's name has become synonymous with BU as much as BU hockey. That's what I think the legacy is.
"For college hockey, Jack has always been a responsible advocate for the integrity of college hockey whether it's recruiting, rule changes, equipment changes, redefining leagues.
"He has always been someone the other coaches listen to. One of the reasons you coach for 40 years is you have the ability to roll and change and kind of morph as kids change and as the game changes, you change with them. I think that was always one of Jack's real gifts. He could roll with the changes.''
Hockey East commissioner Joe Bertagna said Parker always has been a great ambassador for the sport, not just for his school or his league.
"I have great respect for Jack,'' said Bertagna.
"[At the coaches meetings in Florida], someone with 40 years in the game, he could go to the beach if he wanted to but he would be front and center, standing up, getting engaged, and fighting for things. It wasn't all about BU or Hockey East. He set a great example for younger coaches about how you have to do things beyond your own self interest. Jack has always been very active for the game. He's been a very loyal guy to a lot of people.''
Boston College coach Jerry York had to run his team's practice and said he regretted he couldn't attend the news conference.
"It caught me a little bit by surprise,'' said York.
"We have had a personal relationship for 53 years, the last 40 years as professionals competing. It's a unique relationship that has stood the test of time.
"He was Somerville, I was Watertown, there are a lot of similarities. We have different personalities but there are a lot of similar characteristics because of hockey. We're going to miss him an awful lot.''
No doubt York will be asked if he is next to step aside but he said he isn't thinking about that.
"Every morning I wake up, I'm excited about coaching a hockey team at BC,'' he said. "If I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't do it. I really like what I do. I can't ever imagine not doing it.''
Current BU defenseman Garrett Noonan said Parker's decision was difficult to swallow but he understands.
"I'm pretty surprised,'' said Noonan, who is recovering from a shoulder injury and is hopeful to play again this year. "I'm definitely sad that it's happened but I'm happy for Coach because now he gets to do things he probably hasn't been able to do for a while.
"Forty years is a long time. I definitely thought he'd be back next year but I'm happy for him, he's been unbelievable for me. He's an unbelievable leader. He really does care about his players.''
Noonan said he expects the Terriers to have even more motivation going against Merrimack.
"It's been such an up-and-down year on the ice for us,'' said Noonan. "It's crazy to think this is the last time he's going to coach us. Hopefully we go out winning it because no one wants to remember his last game as a loss."
As for Parker's successor, he said he will have a say, but not the final one.
Athletic director Mike Lynch said the search for a new coach will begin over the course of the next several weeks.
"This is a marquee job,'' said Lynch. "It's an enormously important position and it will be handled at the highest level of the university.''
Until then, though, Parker will relish his time left with his favorite aspect of the job — his relationship with his team.
"It's hard to walk away,'' he said. "I would like see Danny O'Regan and see how good he's going to be. We have a couple of incoming freshmen and I'd like to coach those guys.
"But there is always the next Danny O'Regan, there is always the next incoming freshman — sooner or later, you have to cut the ties. More than anything else, I had a great time with my players.''

Being the beauty addicts we are at Product Girl, it's always fun to show you what products really rock our world. In that vein, I wanted to share with you what has dominated my makeup bag this past month. October really flew by, and these products were with me every step of the way.
MAC Volcanic Ash Thermal Face Mask – This was released with MAC's Style Black collection and my face loves this mask. I use this about twice a week (trying to ration it!) after I exfoliate and the combo leaves my skin so soft and I swear it helps keep blemishes at bay. And since it is a thermal mask, it heats up a bit when you wash it off. Not too much heat, but a nice refreshing sensation.
NARS Eyeshadow Duo in Silk Road – For me, this was a sleeper hit of the NARS Fall collection. It's a very unassuming color combo – an icy pink and a warm rose gold with gold glitter. I immediately liked it but didn't realize how much I would love it. The icy pink is so pretty as a lid or highlighter shade and the rose gold is beautiful on the lid, the crease –just about anywhere.
Bobbi Brown Metallic Long Wear Cream Shadow in Black Pearl – Carla convinced me this was a must-have and she wasn't kidding. I typically layer over my cream shadows, but not this. I pat it on my lid and it stands alone. Not only is it stunning…but it's easy.
Cover Girl Lash Blast Length mascara – I've been on board the Lash Blast train for awhile – since the original orange tube launched. I love these mascaras – they work well for me. I see LBL as a very reliable mascara – it may not do much for thickening and volumizing, but it does lengthen my lashes, keep my curl and it never clumps or flakes.
Stila Kitten Smudgepot – Brilliance in a pot. This product has earned a permanent home in my makeup bag. I can use this on its own when in a hurry, but I love to use this as a base or on the inner corners of my eyes. It never creases and it isn't as frosty as its powder sister. Basically, everyone needs this.
NARS Sheer Glow Foundation – I owe you guys a proper review on the new NARS foundations (Sheer Glow and Sheer Matte) because I love them both. But I'll just say that if you have oily skin, uneven skin tone and/or are breakout prone, this foundation could become your new BFF. Yeah, it's good. That good.
MAC Dazzleglass Creme in My Favorite Pink – I practically camped out at the MAC counter in anticipation of the Dazzleglass Cremes. And while I didn't go as ga-ga over them as I thought I would, I did develop quite the affection for the shade My Favorite Pink. It's bright pink, glittery and slightly creamy. Pretty much a sure thing in my book.
What about you? Any loves for the month of October? Do tell!

A CSS3 TipJuly 27, 2010
I'm probably way behind the curve on this one, but I recently realized the following:
All browsers that support the CSS
text-shadow and
box-shadow properties also support the new CSS3 RGBa syntax. Which means you can safely combine them today.
That's handy, because it means no worrying about matching a precise hex colour shadow to a specific hex colour background. Instead just let the browser blend. An example:
p {
text-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0 1px 0;
That will produce a paragraph with a 20% opacity black drop shadow that will blend into any background colour below it. A paragraph like this one.
Previously I might have created the drop shadow in Photoshop, then used the eye dropper tool to pull out the composited shadow hex value after the transparency was applied to the background colour. No more!
Whereas what I've learnt from your post is that the text-shadow syntax allows the color value to come before or after the offset and blur values. I thought you'd made a mistake until I checked the docs.
Here's to learning things that everyone else already knows. :)
Thanks for the tip! Might actually use text-shadow for something now ;)
@Andy Hume - makes more sense to me to have the colour value closest to the selector, keeps it consistent with the way I specify background-colour in shorthand. Though, I guess I specify border colour on the right instead, so I'm kind of all over the place anyway. Hmm.
I've been using this technique for a while now and works fine, indeed.
The only problem that I've found so far is that Chrome in Windows doesn't render text properly when applying a translucent shadow on it. It works perfectly in Firefox, Safari and Opera, though.
Here is screenshot: http://cl.ly/4ca88650b173fc80d484
This hit me yesterday as well, because I was using grey shadows instead of using lower opacities on black or white backgrounds. This is fine until you start putting different colour or pattern/image backgrounds in, then the grey shows and looks ugly.
I'm using text-shadow, but not yet with rgba syntax. It's amazing to see new CSS3 tips every day, with endless possibilities.
Thanks for the tip!
My eyes they are twitching from the paragraph. Just say no to text text shadows.
Just keep aware of performance. Heavy use of opacity kills on older or slower systems.
(Just look at the 24 Ways website.)
I've used the RGBA syntax on the box-shadow and it helps me a lot when I slice PSD to HTML. No more worrying :)
IIRC, HSLA works with all CSS colour declarations as well, including new ones in CSS3.
And did you see how I spelled colour?
@Michael - ugh, the 24 Ways website is a chug-fest on older machines.
Again, like Andy I have been using this for a while now but Dave I see your reasoning for using the colour values before the offset and blur values. I will be doing this too from now on :)
@Ms. Jen - Admittedly, my example above is a terrible use. But text shadows can be quite effective when used properly and sparingly.
Great! Well explained! I didn't know that "all browsers that support the CSS text-shadow and box-shadow properties also support the new CSS3 RGBa syntax". Just a few days ago I tried to blend a dark-grey box-shadow over a little colored gradient and the result was a mess… Tks again!
The text-shadow property is really useful for making large text look sharper. I've been using it on my headings.
Yes, I rarely use anything other than HSLA for declaring shadow colors.
BTW, Dave, technically you're supposed to put the background color at the end of the background shorthand property. It works either way, but if you read the spec they have it at the end. Just learned this recently. Seems weird to me – I always put it at the start too.
Ah thanks mate. This is much neater to use than checking the color of the background and using the text-shadow with taking that into account. A black shadow with 0.2 - 0.3 opacity should do just fine :)

Will there be any final, official documentation in this "Developers Corner" forum? The only topic in Announcements is "Tribune sending requests to new SD-DD service." The sticky posts are all from five or six years ago. Even the "Offical Documentation and Sample Programs" topic is from 2008.
I think I remember seeing a link to some very rough skeleton of JSON documentation somewhere in another forum. I hope that when the API has settled down, there will be some official documentation, instructions, and maybe even samples in this forum.
