If you're a handyman that does work around the house, fancy yourself an amateur carpenter, or have some other project that involves cutting wood, the Rotozip line of zipsaws are a viable low-to-midrange set of tools that can help you get the job done without breaking the bank. A number of fine saws can be found on the Rotozip line. Spiral saws and zip saws will allow you to cut into a material without a guide hole or any kind of support material. This makes awkward angles and cutting along things like baseboard and into corners a reality. An essential tool for any handyman's toolbelt, the Rotozip line of zip saws will impress you with their functionality, ease of use, and a line of interchangeable attachments and blade sizes. The new cut-off saw, which Rotozip says is one-of-a-kind, is also a good addition to the line. Rotozip features several saws, including spiral saws and cut-off saws, all of which are tested and designed specifically with professionals in mind. They don't seem to sacrifice much design, though, so anyone can pick them up and use them.
The RZ2000 Variable Speed Spiral Saw comes packaged with all kinds of goodies, including several bits, a carrying case, and attachments which Rotozip boasts will allow for a diverse range of products from tile to laminate. Much like other Rotozip saws, the RZ2000 is 120 volts and is corded. The on/off switch on the front is an important safety feature, and the saw is ergonomic and comfortable. The RZ1500 is along the same lines, features many of the same in-the-box accessories, but is a little less ergonomic and functional than the RZ2000 while coming in at a cheaper price.
Finally, the RFS1000 cut-off saw is a multipurpose tool and is incredibly easy to use. It features a small saw mounted with a plastic guard that makes for easy maneuverability and sits well in the hand. This nifty little device looks kind of like a grinder or some sort of warped dentistry tool; if you're experienced with tools it will look like a very small circular saw, which it is. You will also be surprised at how easily it can cut into material without fighting back. As someone who was always taught never to since a circular saw, this is a welcome change. Kits will vary from store to store, but will generally include a detachable auxiliary handle, either a wood or tile blade, and a dust collection kit, all of which will ensure you get the most out of your saw.
Rotozip's lines of saws are known for delivering quality cuts, and have become a standard for handheld saws in today's power tool market. They can cut a variety of materials from drywall and plywood to metal and tile, depending on the type of blade you have, making Rotozip incredibly versatile. The variable speed means that Rotozip's saws rarely jam, though you should always take precautions when cutting. The cut-off saws feature either electroplated or sintered diamond, allowing you to plunge into anything from steel to ceramic. The bits also do their job well, so you can cut safely and quickly. Rotozip advertises kits that are targeted to specific jobs like drywall as well as more general kits for all-around purpose. While I typically find this type of thing to be gimmicky, these saws handle well and it's nice to know there are a variety of potions out there.
It's easy to recommend the Rotozip line of zip saws, particularly the maneuverable cut-off saw. They are moderately priced; the RZ2000 is pricey at $156.99 while the RZ1500, though somewhat less functional and advanced than its cousin, boasts an affordable $106.99 pricetag. The RFS1000 cut-off saw comes in at an incredible $99.99. This last tool is the one that I would recommend the most. Chances are you don't have anything like it in your toolbox right now, and you'll get a plethora of uses out of it. Rotozip claims to have the most advanced cutting tools on the argument, and while that may be a bit of an exaggeration, there's a lot to be impressed with here. And there are a number of affordable accessories found on Rotozip's website that will help you get any job done, no matter what you're trying to cut. You should be careful, though, and ensure that you know the job you want to do before you invest in too many accessories. Otherwise, things could get pricey. This line of zip saws also comes with a limited factory warranty, and though we can't test things until they break, chances are your Rotozip will last you a while. So whether you work as an HVAC or drywall installer or need a saw for a one-off job, it's safe to say you'll get good use out of a Rotozip.

I just took a taste to see how it is blending and this is delicious. I have to add the tomatoes and bacon and I know this is going to be a hit for New Year's this year!
Jun 16, 2012
I made this today but used dry beans instead of canned. It was very good and refreshing. I added a hot pepper in addition to the sweet one and really liked the flavor with the fresh mint.
Apr 13, 2012
I love cold bean salads, especially in the summer when it's too hot to cook...but, people are active and hungry!! This recipe is good, it's easy to fix (although i used dried black-eyed peas, after soaking them overnight)..it feeds a crowd..and, it contains Bacon!!!
Jan 6, 2009
I made this for our New Years Dinner for guests and it was a big hit. Had to make 2 extra copies. Very flavorful and easy to make. I will definitely make this again.

Relevant magazine writer Jesse Carey joined the debate about how Chip and Joanna Gaines make decisions concerning their family and business.
Relevant magazine writer Jesse Carey weighed in on the debate about how Chip and Joanna Gaines make decisions concerning their family and business.
Last week, USA Today columnist Daryl Austin wrote that the "Fixer Upper" couple doesn't necessarily put family first. Instead, he said, the Gaines have worked to build their careers.
"Unchecked ambition for any of us is a bottomless pit. We live in a world where every social media user compares his worst to everyone else's best, and mommy bloggers work tirelessly to portray unattainable perfect homes and families. Instead of correcting distorted realities, Chip and Joanna are adding to the problem," Austin wrote.
Chip Gaines responded to the article on Twitter, saying that Austin doesn't necessarily know his family or how the Gaines' business operates.
"I don't know Daryl, (and) he clearly doesn't know me," he tweeted about Austin. "But for the record: If there is ever a need (with) my family (first), I'll shut this circus down so fast it will make your head spin. But Jo (and) I believe, (with) God anything is possible. Including having an amazing family and career you love."
Carey, an editor for the Christian-based magazine Relevant, has his own opinion about the Gaines family.
Chip Gaines, he said, is right.
According to Carey, Relevant interviewed Chip last year about how the "Fixer Upper" star has a work-life balance while also leading a highly religious life.
In response, Chip said, "Jo and I have chosen to focus on the reality that there's really no way to balance our work and our lives. They have to coexist; there's no way around it."
He continued, "I truly believe that my family strengthens my ability to do the best I can in my career, and likewise my career strengthens my marriage and my ability to have a successful family. It's my faith that facilitates my ability to fire on all cylinders in my career and with my family. But Jo and I are sincere in our hearts when we say that if work and family ever did come into conflict with one another, we are completely committed to our marriage and our kids, and we'd be willing to let everything else go."
In his column this week, Carey said that Chip Gaines had it right. It's not important to seek work-life balance, but rather find a way to incorporate your life into your work.
For Gaines, that means bringing his family into his work. That's why his children had frequent appearances on "Fixer Upper."
"Despite what Austin says, Chip and Jo aren't adding to a problem," Carey wrote. "They are offering a solution to one. Not everyone can launch a TV and real estate empire and run with it their families. But we can all seek to find ways to incorporate our families and faith into our work and passions so that our lives aren't about how good we are at keeping them segmented; they're about how we can keep them holistic."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have pretended to be married a few times. Once for a "Domestic Bliss" photo spread in W magazine (the very one that made ex Jennifer Aniston accuse Pitt of being short an emotional chip). Another time, the Hollywood power couple faked marriage to each other for their roles in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the film on which they met and fell in love. Now it seems like pretend time is over. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are talking about getting married. For real.
At least Brad is.
In an interview with this weekend's USA Today, Brad says that he and Angie (that's what all her close friends call her) might be tying the knot.
The reason is ridiculous.
Brad says he and Angie are considering getting married -- because of their six kids. He said,
The kids ask about marriage. It's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at.
I'm sorry -- WHAT?
Brad and Anglina are going to get married because it will "mean" something to their kids? Wait a second, isn't this the guy who famously told the media -- more than once -- that he and Angie would consider tying the knot only when gay marriage was legal in the United States? And didn't Angie tell Vogue that marriage doesn't keep people together and who needs a piece of paper to prove you love someone and no one's going to pressure us into getting married and we're a happy family without marriage and so on ... and so on.
Brad and Angelina have their reasons for not getting married. And it really doesn't matter if we agree with those reasons or not. The point is, if everything they've told us about what they believe is true and they do get hitched, they will be failing their children. As parents, it's their job to instill values and beliefs in their kids. By reneging on their promises and compromising their integrity, Brad and Angelina are selling Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, Knox, and Vivienne short. If they get married, the couple is essentially telling their kids that it's totally cool to wimp out on a cause (in this case, gay rights) whenever you feel like it.
And what of their message that love, not a piece of paper, keeps couples together? Brad and Angelina's kids seem concerned that their parents aren't "married," in the very technical sense of the word. Yet why should they be? Are all those paparazzi photos we see of that big, happy family just a lie?
Maybe instead of getting married, Brad and Angie should be demonstrating their love for each other -- and their children -- every day. Because that and teaching their children the importance of standing up for they you believe in are the things that will "mean" the most to their kids in the long run.

In the year 2062, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs will be a distant memory and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates will be celebrated across the world, according to "Outliers" author Malcolm Gladwell. In a recent appearance at the Toronto Public Library's Appel Salon, Gladwell discussed the work of both men in the context of time. "I firmly believe that 50 years from now, [Bill Gates] will be remembered for his charitable work. No one will even remember what Microsoft is," the author said. He continued, "And of the great entrepreneurs of this era, people will have forgotten Steve Jobs. Who's Steve Jobs again? There will be statues of Gates across the third world." 2062 is a long way off and while Gladwell's predictions could certainly pan out, it's also possible that John Gruber Jr.'s claim chowder file just got its first entry. A video of his interview follows below, with the aforementioned part beginning shortly after the 9-minute mark.

Interior Department biologists have recommended against adding the sage grouse to the U.S. endangered species list, a determination that could wind up benefiting natural gas and oil producers but add to environmentalists' concerns.
WASHINGTON − Interior Department biologists have recommended against adding the sage grouse to the U.S. endangered species list, a determination that could wind up benefiting natural gas and oil producers but add to environmentalists' concerns.
At stake is a bird whose numbers have declined to as few as 142,000, as well as the use of great expanses of Western sagebrush that provide cover and food between 4,000 and 9,000 feet elevations.
At one time there may have been as many as 16 million of the birds in the Western United States and Canada, the government estimates.
The bird, North America's largest grouse, is chicken-like, with a long, pointed tail. Usually weighing two to seven pounds, it is a ground-dweller among an estimated 770,000 square miles (1,902,000 square kilometers) of sage brush in 11 states, including much of the Rocky Mountain's natural gas fields. Still, because of farming and development, that is only about half its historic range.
Steve Williams, director of the department's Fish and Wildlife Service, now must decide within 25 days whether to accept the biologists' recommendation and deny the bird federal protections that come from being added to the list.
Williams would only say that the biologists "conducted a thorough review of the best available scientific information and, in their view, recommend that the greater sage grouse does not warrant the special protections of the act across its range."
He and Interior Secretary Gale Norton have made no secret they generally prefer to rely on private conservation work and joint efforts by federal agencies, Western states and local governments, rather than ordering new restrictions on harming wildlife or using its habitat.
"We must continue and wherever possible expand those efforts," Williams said Friday.
In an interview with The Associated Press last month, Norton said, "Lots of people have gotten involved to try to find ways of protecting the sage grouse without having to list it on the endangered species list."
Extending federal protections to the sage grouse would have "very significant potential impact" on development, she said. Last month, Interior's Bureau of Land Management, which oversees oil and gas leases and much of the sage grouse habitat, issued a conservation plan.
Williams' announcement was coordinated with the Western Governors' Association meeting Friday in San Diego on endangered species issues. In July, the governors sent Williams documents suggesting the sage grouse could be conserved without federal protections.
Environmentalists among the groups that sent the department three petitions to list the sage grouse as endangered said Williams should disagree with the biologists' findings.

I lost my partner to AIDS in 1994. I was still negative. I volunteered for AIDS organizations and lost so many friends. I saw all the experimental medications come and the toll it took on all their lives. So the day I was diagnosed as positive I just became numb. I was numb for about 2 weeks.
Then I heard that the CDC was going to make the recommendation that everyone diagnosed as positive regardless of T-cell count should start medication immediately. Well, my T-Cell count had dropped that month from 650 to 475. I guess it was time to start anyway.
I kept reading and researching medications and playing eenie-meenie-minie-mo with them all. I became overwhelmed. A month went by and my T-cells dropped again to 375 and viral load soared into the thousands. I started having really bad night sweats. The doctor was really concerned and really pushed me to get on medication. I chose Complera, and was sent to the pharmacy to get my script.
I went home and decided to take them with my evening meals. Every night for 3 nights I tried to take the pill. I would open the bottle and stare at it or hold it in my hand. My dinner would get cold and I wouldn't eat. The pill was smaller than some of the vitamins I used to take so the physical action of taking it wasn't the situation.
How could I take a pill that would seal my fate? I would die like my partner and so many friends and people I knew. If I took that pill, I would be admitting there was something wrong with me. The fourth night, a friend came over for dinner. How could I take the pill in front of him? Tears were rolling prior to dinner and then he arrived. We sat down and I heard my partner's voice in my head, "Just take the damn pill will you!"
I did. That was 5 years ago now and I have not missed a dose yet. I have never had one side effect listed in the huge list of possible side effects. My T-cell count is over 750 each visit, and viral load is undetectable. I empathize with people who have a hard time taking that first pill.
What was your first pill? Whether it was AZT or Atripla, we want you to tell your story! Write out your story (between 200 and 1,000 words, please!) or film a YouTube video, and email it to firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll be posting readers' My First Pill stories here in our Resource Center on Starting HIV Treatment.

Alabama Military Records
This entry was originally written by Robert S. Davis and Mary Bess Paluzzi for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Alabamians have seen military service in all wars of the United States. Military records are found at both the state and federal levels. The most voluminous and readily available military records for Alabama are those of the National Archives.
Roster of Revolutionary Soldiers and Patriots Alabama (Montgomery: Alabama Society DAR, 1979) lists those soldiers who lived and died in Alabama as well as some who died in other states. Data from scattered published and unpublished sources was edited and compiled. The volume includes a statement on the soldier's military service; a brief biographical sketch including the names of his parents, wife, and children; and bibliographic citations to sources.
The Alabama Department of Archives and History has made their military service surname files available on microfilm. These files include a series for Revolutionary War veterans residing in Alabama; service in the Indian Wars of 1812, 1813, and 1814; territorial service in 1818; the Indian War of 1836; the Mexican War in 1846; the Civil War (1861'1865); the Spanish-American War in 1898; and World War I (1917'18). The series contains a card for each soldier indicating name, military unit, rank, and the source of the information. Most of the sources cited are unofficial as there are limited records for state military service.
Several lists of Alabama Civil War soldiers exist although records do not survive for every veteran. The most complete lists have been published by the Broadfoot Company and are accessible through www.ancestry.com at Alabama Civil War Muster Rolls, 1861-1865. The Alabama Department of Archives and History's index to Confederate records, including pensions and pensioner censuses of 1907, 1921, and 1927 is widely available on microfilm, while the files on individual regiments, histories of units are published in a number of sources: Willis Brewer, Brief Historical Sketches of Military Organizations Raised in Alabama during the Civil War (Montgomery: Alabama Department of Archives and History, 1966); Joseph H. Crute, Units of the Confederate States Army (Midlothian, Va.: Derwent Books, 1987); and Stewart Sifakis, Compendium of Confederate Armies (New York: Facts on File, 1992). Histories on the First Alabama Infantry, USA have been published. The Family and Regional History Program at Wallace State College, Hanceville, Alabama, is an important center for Civil War research.
The state of Alabama offered pensions to its indigent resident Confederate veterans, and to widows of veterans. The files contain the usual military pension application information: name, rank, unit, dates of service, places of enlistment and discharge, if wounded, and qualifications for pension. If the widow was making the application in 1920, she stated when and where she was born, her father's name, date, and place of his death, and the date and place of her marriage. To qualify, a pensioner's annual income could not exceed $300 and his real property could not be valued at more than $400. The original files are housed in the Alabama Department of Archives and History. The applications have been microfilmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah and are available on loan through the FHL.

Howard Celebrates 139th Year
Charter Day commemorates the signing of the University's charter, which was enacted by Congress and subsequently approved by President Andrew Johnson on March 2, 1867. During the 82nd Annual Charter Day Gala at the Hilton Washington and Towers Hotel on Saturday, March 4, the University honored Potomac Electric Power Company with the 2006 Corporate Award.
Howard University's 139th Charter Day Convocation was held Friday, in Cramton Auditorium with Suzanne de Passe, chairperson and chief executive officer, de Passe Entertainment, as keynote speaker. Charter Day Convocation proceedings was broadcast live on Howard University's WHUR-96.3 FM and WHUT-TV, the first African-American-owned public television station in the nation. Suzanne de Passe began her career at Motown Records as creative assistant to company founder Berry Gordy and rose to the position of president of Motown Productions.
Charter Day commemorates the signing of the University's charter, which was enacted by Congress and subsequently approved by President Andrew Johnson on March 2, 1867. During the 82nd Annual Charter Day Gala at the Hilton Washington and Towers Hotel on Saturday, March 4, the University will honor Potomac Electric Power Company with the 2006 Corporate Award. Also featured will be Jessye Norman.
Five alumni were honored for outstanding contributions in their respective fields: Dr. Joseph E. Harris, in the fields of Education and International Studies; The Honorable Kamala D. Harris, in the fields of Law and Public Service; Mr. Kenneth L. Lattimore, in the field of Entertainment; Dr. Accie M. Mitchell, in the fields of Medicine and Community Service; and Mr. George S. Willie, in the fields of Business and Community Service.
Dr. Harris is a preeminent scholar, world-renowned expert on Africa, Howard University Distinguished Professor of History emeritus, lecturer, and author. He created the field of study known as the African Diaspora and has championed that Diaspora across time and geography. The Honorable Kamala D. Harris was elected District Attorney of San Francisco on December 9, 2003. Her election is historic on many fronts: the first woman to serve as District Attorney in San Francisco; the first African-American woman to serve as District Attorney in California; and the first Indian-American woman to serve as District Attorney in the United States. She was born in Oakland and raised in Berkeley, California. Her parents, both professors, were active in the Civil Rights Movement and instilled in her a strong commitment to justice and public service.
Mr. Lattimore was born in Washington, DC, and became a music aficionado at an early age, and performed publicly throughout his high school years at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, Maryland. He attended Howard University—one of his musical idols, Donny Hathaway, had spent three years at Howard—where he studied architecture. Music was always his passion and, after leaving Howard, he joined the group Maniquin, and recorded one album in the late 1980s. He left the group in 1990 and became a popular writer for other soul artists, including Glenn Jones and Jon Lucien.
Dr. Mitchell began his elementary school education in San Francisco and attended the prestigious Lowell High School, where he was one of four African-American students. His academic strengths were quickly recognized by the teachers and administrators, as was his tenacity and willingness to question the status quo. After graduation, he attended the University of San Francisco and received his Bachelor of Science from San Francisco State University in 1960.
He was accepted into the Howard University College of Medicine and, in August 1961, took the long train ride from California to Washington, DC. As a struggling student he succeeded in overcoming the difficult challenges of financing his education with the most able assistance of Mrs. Runners in Dean Robert Jason's office. Dr. Mitchell is a founding member of the National Sickle Cell Disease Research Foundation, and has testified before Congress about the need for research funding. He is a member of the National Medical Association, Los Angeles Urban League and NAACP; a founding member of the Los Angeles Guardsmen; a former board member of Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities; and a strong supporter of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.
Mr. Willie is the managing partner of Bert Smith & Co. and has over 30 years of public accounting experience. He has substantial experience in the audits of federal, state, and local governments, not-for-profit, and healthcare and private sector organizations.
His professional memberships include: the Board of Directors of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA); AICPA Benevolent Fund; AICPA Financial Accounting and Reporting Subcommittee; and AICPA Accounting Research Association, Inc. He also serves on the U.S. Government Accountability Office Advisory Council on Government Auditing Standards, and the Board of Visitors for the Howard University School of Business.

Can't wait for Google Glasses? If you're willing to buy a knock-off, a wearable, wireless headset can be yours from a competitor and for only $500.
The Vuzix Smart Glasses M100 will retail for about $1,000 cheaper than the official Google Glasses that won't be available until 2014, according to CNET. The Vuzix glasses, which were shown off at the CES Unveiled in New York City earlier this week, will reportedly sell for less than $500 in mid-2013.
We don't know what price to believe, especially since Gizmodo said the developer kit set of the Vuzix M100 retails for $1,000. Even with that price, it's still a bit cheaper than Google's $1,500 pricetag.
The Vuzix headset projects a color display with data generated by a smartphone. It also features an HD camera, microphone and ear speaker. The display is supposed to be similar to looking at a smartphone screen 14 inches away from one's face.

When non-transparent TCP tunneling is used, the application to be tunneled is set to connect to the local listener port instead of connecting to the server directly. Tectia ConnectSecure forwards the connection securely to the remote server.
If you have three hosts, for example,
sshserver, and
imapserver, and you forward the traffic coming to the
sshclient's port
143 to the
imapserver's port
143, only the connection between the
sshclient and
sshserver will be secured. The command you use would be similar to the following one:
sshclient$ sshg3 -L 143:imapserver:143 username@sshserver
Figure 6.10 shows an example where the Secure Shell server resides in the DMZ network. Connection is encrypted from the Secure Shell client to the Secure Shell server and continues unencrypted in the corporate network to the IMAP server.
Tunnels can also be defined for connection profiles in the Connection Broker configuration file. The defined tunnels are opened automatically when a connection with the profile is made. The following is an example from a
ssh-broker-config.xml file:
<profile id="id1" host="sshserver.example.com"> ... <tunnels> <local-tunnel type="tcp" listen-port="143" dst-host="imap.example.com" dst-port="143" allow-relay="no" /> ... </tunnels> </profile>
By default, local tunnels originating only from the client host itself are allowed. To allow also other machines to connect to the tunnel listener port, set the
allow-relay to
The tunneling settings can be made in the Tectia Connections Configuration GUI, under Connection Profiles → Tunneling per each profile. See Defining Tunneling.
Automatic tunnels are one way of creating non-transparent local tunnels for application connections.
Automatic tunnels always use a connection profile in the tunnel establishing. You can create listeners for local tunnels that will be activated automatically when the Connection Broker starts up. The actual tunnel will be formed the first time a connection is made to the listener port. If the connection to the server is not open at that time, it will be opened automatically as well.
In the Connection Broker configuration file, make the following kind of settings:
<static-tunnels> <tunnel type="tcp" listen-port="9874" dst-host="st.example.com" dst-port="9111" allow-relay = "no" profile="id1" /> </static-tunnels>
You can configure the automatic tunnels in the Tectia Connections Configuration GUI, on the Automatic Tunnels page. For instructions, see Defining Automatic Tunnels.
When sshg3 is used to create secure tunnels using local port forwarding, the TCP applications to be tunneled are configured to connect to a localhost port instead of the application server port.
Example application,
clientapp1, by default connects to a Unix server
unix.example.com using TCP port 2345.
$ clientapp1 --username user1 --server unix.example.com --port 2345
For securing this TCP application using Secure Shell, use the following commands:
$ sshg3 -L 2345:localhost:2345 firstname.lastname@example.com -S -f & $ clientapp1 --username user1 --server localhost --port 2345
The above sshg3 command connects to remote Secure Shell server
unix.example.com, creates a local listener on port 2345, instructs the remote Secure Shell server to forward the incoming traffic to
localhost:2345, and goes to background in single-shot-mode.

Worst Emmy Poppins: Heidi Klum
If you're Heidi Klum, after squeezing 15 children out of that tiny body, and having it bounce back so enviously quickly, would you dress like half of Mary Poppins?
This is what she wore during arrivals. She changed more times than she's had babies but still… the dress she chose when she'd be most photographed was an Armani. And Armani is seriously losing it.
The beading, that cape, it was sooo… old. And again… Mary Poppins.
Major disappointment. And the opening de-robe didn't help either. She'd have done better to stay in that tuxedo.

(January 6, 2015) – United States Under-20 head coach Tab Ramos called in Marcello Borges, Andrew Lombard and Matt Olosunde to a 36-player camp for the first U-20 MNT camp of 2016 in Miami. Borges (Kearny, N.J.), a freshman at Michigan, returns to the U.S. U-20 MNT after playing with the squad in 2015. In his first year of college he played 11 games, including five starts, as a winger. Prior to college, he played for the Red Bulls academy since 2010, and even played two games with New York Red Bulls II, the Red Bulls' professional United Soccer League team. Lombard (Montclair, N.J.), a freshman at Northeastern, also returns to the U.S. U-20 MNT after playing with the side in 2015. In his first college season he started 13 games for the Huskies. Prior to college, the defender played for the Red Bulls academy and helped his team to an 18-4 record and No. 4 national ranking. Olosunde (Trenton, N.J.), a 17-year old defender and current member of the Red Bulls academy, spent the 2014-15 season in residency at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., with the U.S. U-17 National Team. He has previously spent time with the Red Bulls U-16 squad and plays both center back and right back. Last year, Olosunde played with Tyler Adams in the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup. There he started the first game, but was forced out of the tournament with an injury. The camp will also include the team's first four matches of the new year. On Jan. 8, the U-20s will take on local all-star team CASA, followed by Weston FC of the National Premier Soccer League. On Jan. 12, the U.S. will play two opponents which are TBD.

Michigan man arrested in real estate fraud scheme
Canton's Samer Salami charged with conducting criminal enterprise
DETROIT – Wayne County prosecutors working with state, county, and federal agencies have announced the arrest of a Canton man in an elaborate real estate fraud scheme.
Thirty-two-year-old Samer Salami is charged with conducting an alleged criminal enterprise.
Federal authorities say people who engage in the type of fraud he's accused of are really targeting all American taxpayers.
"They are taking hardworking Americans money and putting it in their own pockets," said Mike Stephens of the Federal Housing Financing Agency Inspector General.
How It Worked
Prosecutors says Salami was a licensed agent for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. They say he would list homes for sale, but wouldn't tell people the properties belonged to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, as he was legally required to do.
They say he would elicit bids from legitimate buyers, for example getting a $100,000 offer for a home. Once Salami had that bid in hand, a company he controlled, Trademark Assets, would offer Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac $75,000.
Prosecutors say Salami would convince Fannie or Freddie to take the lower bid, and then Trademark Assets would turn around and sell the property to the original buyer, with Salami pocketing the $25,000 difference.
And, that's not all.
"He would also get a commission, a double commission from the first sale and then a commission for the subsequent sale to the bona fide buyer," said Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy.
Taxpayer Impact
Mike Stephens of the Federal Housing Financing Agency says since taxpayers have invested $180 billion dollars in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, any fraud targeting them hits all of us.
"It's shameful behavior! That the charges here today send a powerful message that individuals who try to defraud Freddie and Fannie, that they will suffer the consequences of their actions," Stephens added.
Wayne County Sheriff Benny N. Napoleon said, "These individuals are placed in a position of trust- by the government and by the potential homeowners- they must be held accountable when they abuse this trust."
Attorney Defends Salami
At court this afternoon, Salami's attorney Dorard Elder said "The actions that they painted in there is not the Samer that we know ,and we intend on proving that in court."
Salami faces 12 counts, including two charges of conducting a criminal enterprise. Each of those two counts carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

There's significant evidence that media education can counter unrealistic media representations of men's and women's bodies. For example, a 2010 study found that showing the video Evolution (which was created by Dove to show how media images of women are manipulated) significantly reduced negative effects on confidence and body satisfaction of young girls when they looked at pictures of ultra-thin models afterwards.
Music is a significant medium in a young person's life, particularly during the teenage years. While other media may occupy a greater number of hours, it is most often from music that teenagers define their identities and draw cues about how to dress and to behave.
Despite the popularity of the Internet, movies and TV still dominate young people's media use (though they are increasingly watching both online). [1] Given this widespread appeal, these media may have an indirect effect by influencing how groups or cultures view body image.
Traditionally, most of the concerns about media and body image have revolved around girls, but more and more, researchers and health professionals are turning their attention to boys as well. A growing body of research indicates that although boys are less likely to talk about their insecurities, they too experience anxiety about their bodies.
Advertising, particularly for fashion and cosmetics, has a powerful effect on how we see ourselves and how we think we should look. Women's magazines in particular have a tremendous influence on body image, with researchers reporting that teenage girls rely heavily on them for information on beauty and fashion, valuing their advice nearly as highly as that of their peers.
Photo manipulation, once the preserve of a small number of airbrush-equipped artists, has become commonplace in the fashion, publishing and advertising industries thanks to the introduction of photo-editing software such as Photoshop. (This program, first introduced in 1990, has become so widely used that "photoshopping" is often used as a synonym for photo manipulation.) As a result, heavily retouched photos – of men as well as women – have become nearly universal: a single issue of Vogue was found to contain 144 manipulated images, including the cover.
Images of female bodies are everywhere, with women and girls – and their body parts – selling everything from food to cars. Popular film and television actresses are becoming younger, taller and thinner. Women's magazines are full of articles urging that if you can just lose those last twenty pounds, you will have it all: the perfect marriage, loving children, great sex, and a rewarding career.
The belief that "thin is beautiful" is pervasive in our culture.
Digital media such as the Internet and video games have become increasingly important in the lives of children and youth. Even when young people are consuming other media, such as TV, music and movies, they are likely to be doing it through the Internet. As well, nearly all the media they consume, from TV shows to toys, have Web pages, virtual worlds, video games or other digital spinoffs associated with them.
There are few media to which youth are exposed to as early as toys, which make up an important part of their media consumption throughout childhood: despite competition from electronics, half of children 14 and younger asked for toys for Christmas in 2011, a number that likely rises for younger children. As a result, the messages about body image that children get from toys may come at a time when they are still forming ideas about gender identity.

PAX East kicks off this morning in lovely scenic Boston, beginning with the big Blizzard Entertainment Presents panel from 10:00 to 10:30 Eastern. Or at least I am assuming it's big. Perhaps I should just stick with "new" until the mystery is solved.
As if the playable debut of the PlayStation 4 version of Diablo III wasn't enough, Blizzard's blocked off a half hour to show us something different. It's not StarCraft, World of Warcraft or Diablo. It's not a sequel, or an expansion. It's not even Project Titan, the next-gen MMO. So what is it?
I'm guessing it's a line of breakfast cereals, but I'm legendarily bad at guessing. There's only one way to be sure, however, and that's to watch this space until it stops moving.
