Plan Specifications
This approximately 440 square foot plan provides two new large bedrooms and a bath in a new dormered rear. The dormer shown is 29'-4" wide and the existing home is 32'-0" wide; both could be wider or smaller. This type of shed roof dormer is adaptable to almost any existing one or one & one half story home, however, it is most suited to a home that already has a stand up attic under a steeply pitched roof. Design issues you should be concerned with, include keeping at least a small sliver of the old roof on each side; this avoids the awkward bulky looking side form so often seen on such homes. Also, consider raising the ceiling alongside the stair on the first floor to achieve a more inviting entry to both floors.

Active Directory Alternative
Hey Everybody!
I'm brand new to this community but have been using the GNU/Linux Operating System casually for several years now. It's just been more of a novelty than anything else. I am a Windows admin and have spent most of my life learning 'The Microsoft Solution'.
...then I saw the light :)
Now, I'm in the process of having an article published in [...] Magazine that bashes Microsoft's absurd licensing schemes. Microsoft has let me down on so many different levels. I'm now committed to learning 'The Free Software Solution'. I suppose I'll have to replace my dark art of VB scripting and .NET application development with shell scripts and Python - oh well.
Anyway, on to my question! In an attempt to be able to design a network that meets the needs of a hypothetical small business, I'm trying to find an alternative to Microsoft's Active Directory. Despite my animosity towards Microsoft, they do make some pretty powerful products - Active Directory being one such product.
Now, using the GNU/Linux Operating System in a business environment is quite different than me making the switch to Linux at my home.
- How does a Linux domain work, or is there such a thing? (ie: can I join a computer to a Linux domain like in Windows)
- Is there an alternative to Group Policy?
- Is there a single tool or set of tools to manage LDAP users and groups, DNS, DHCP, RADIUS, IPSec, etc...?
- What are some resources I can read or interact with to assist in my understanding of managing these topics on the GNU/Linux platform?
Like I said, I'm a Windows admin. I know Windows admins usually catch a lot of flac in the Linux community due to their lack of script-fu in the shell - but lets face it - Windows is a GUI managed environment. Unless your running dsquery to gain granular insight into Active Directory, the only reason to script is to automate a repetitive task. You don't need to know almost any commandline applications to manage a Windows box (well, outside of ping and nslookup).
Another thing that concerns me is NFS permissions. I don't know how these work. I know I can look up how they work and how they are evaluated on Wikipedia - but that isn't the information I'm looking for. I'm used to NTFS permissions. I know the metadata that the permissions carry and the alternate streams that exist on an NTFS volume. I'm looking for information from people in the field that know or used to know Windows systems and now manage a GNU/Linux environment. I want to know what they miss from the Windows world and what they don't miss.
I suppose overall I'm looking for selling points for GNU/Linux. I'm no longer sold on Microsoft, but I don't know where to turn now. Could it be here?
Let me know what you think,

The UN said it has received only $52 million of the $150 million it appealed for to support the provision of food and agricultural materials, health and nutrition programs and water and sanitation improvements.
"Without sustained humanitarian support, the gains made the past 10 years in improving food security and the overall health and nutrition of the most vulnerable ... could be quickly reversed," UN Resident Coordinator in North Korea Ghulam Isaczai said in a statement on Thursday.
Isaczai said while the overall humanitarian situation has improved slightly over the last 12 months, around 2.4 million very vulnerable people need regular food assistance, and external assistance is vital.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on prospective donors to respond to the appeal. The UN chief "stresses that humanitarian assistance should not be linked to political or security considerations," his spokesman Martin Nesirky said.
"The lifesaving operations of the United Nations in the country remain drastically underfunded," Nesirky said. "The lives of many people are at stake, including children who are vulnerable to lasting suffering if they do not receive aid."
Earlier this month, South Korea approved $6 million in government aid for vaccines, medical care and food for North Korean children, the first such humanitarian aid for Pyongyang since South Korean president Park Geun-hye took office in February.
Ban, a former South Korean foreign minister, welcomes the decision and "hopes this move will inspire other traditional and potential donors to follow suit," Nesirky said.

For days on end, 23-year-old Hiraku Sato and a co-worker toiled in their pharmacy in Tagajo City, picking through hundreds of small containers of vitamin drinks, aspirin and other medicines that were flung to the four corners of their shop when ocean waters from nearly a mile away rushed in.
A 4-foot-high mound of metal shelves, broken computers and other retail detritus was still massed this week outside the store in the northeastern coastal community. But Sato, wearing a white mask and knee-high rubber boots, beamed with satisfaction at what he had organized inside: blue, green and pink baskets packed with unopened but mud-caked bottles and boxes.
"I was really upset when I came here and saw the mess," he said. But now that he's been able to salvage a few things, he added, he could see some hope for recovery — never mind that customers might not want the dirty products, or that the street outside still looked like a total wasteland.
"I don't know when, where or how they'll clean this up," he said with a sigh.
In the best of times, one man's trash is another man's treasure. But in the wake of Japan's March 11 earthquake and tsunami, the nation is facing complex legal, financial, logistical, environmental and ethical questions over just how to deal with at least 80 million tons of debris — from 300-ton ships and smashed cars to waterlogged heirlooms and soiled family photos.
The central government said Tuesday that it would foot the bill for the cleanup; normally, it covers half of local governments' waste disposal costs. The expense is only beginning to be tabulated, but it's expected to far exceed the $3.2 billion required to dispose of 15 million tons of debris in the Japanese city of Kobe after its 1995 earthquake.
Still being sorted out are such nitty-gritty questions as: How long will owners of waterlogged autos — who might need their license plates to file insurance claims — be given to claim their vehicles? Can cleanup crews unilaterally bulldoze demolished structures, or do they need approval from property owners? What should be done if sentimental or valuable items are recovered amid the junk?
Certain valuables already pose their own challenges. Japan Self-Defense Forces troops working in southern Miyagi prefecture reportedly came across a 45-pound safe beneath a collapsed house. They couldn't open it, and there was nothing on the safe to indicate where it came from.
Waste management specialists are now debating whether the vast amounts of debris — called gareki in Japanese — can be tested for toxics such as asbestos, dioxins and PCBs. While the debris remains wet, asbestos can't disperse into the air. But when the dry season arrives, dangerous particles could be inhaled. And then, of course, there are fears of radiation contamination from the disaster-battered Fukushima nuclear plant.
For the time being, parks, baseball fields and stadiums are being used as temporary dumps. But longer term, there are serious questions about where in an already space-challenged island nation the trash can be disposed of.
Kazuyuki Akaishi, a waste and recycling expert at the Japan Research Institute, said estimates of the volume of tsunami and earthquake debris range from 80 million to 200 million tons. In a typical year, the entire country generates about 71 million tons of household waste and more than 400 million tons of industrial waste, according to the Environment Ministry. (Los Angeles' Sunshine Canyon landfill, by comparison, takes in about 2.3 million tons of waste annually.)
Japan's National Police Agency says 18,000 houses collapsed and that about 140,000 others were partially damaged. In Miyagi prefecture alone, an estimated 146,000 cars were destroyed, and more may yet be found as tsunami-inundated areas dry out.
The trash problems extend beyond the quake and tsunami zone. In Tokyo, which normally burns trash 24 hours a day, everyday garbage is piling up because post-quake power shortages have forced incinerators to curtail operations by as much as a third.
Additional refuse washed out to sea and is expected to reach Hawaii in about two years and Alaska a year later, according to Nikolai Maximenko, an oceanographer at the University of Hawaii who studies ocean currents.
In normal times, Japan's meticulous approach to waste and recycling is the stuff of legend; it's not just a matter of separating paper from plastic, or glass from aluminum — cities here publish detailed guides for properly disposing of everything from used chopsticks to lipstick.
Special bags must be used. Collection schedules are strict. To ignore the rules is to risk being reprimanded by a local volunteer trash monitor, or shunned by neighbors.
But there's no rulebook for problems such as the 500,000 tons of rotting seafood in disabled port refrigeration facilities, said Masato Yamada of the National Institute for Environmental Studies, who is leading a national task force on the trash crisis.
"That's one very urgent problem," he said last week.
His panel has advised collecting the decaying seafood and dumping it at sea.
Recycling is further hindered because of the mud. It's not just that things are dirty; the slop may contain toxic amounts of heavy metals from refineries, factories and other facilities smashed by the raging water.
Designating new landfills may take years, Yamada said.
For now, he and his colleagues are simply worried about the trash mountains that survivors are rapidly making; the heaps can ferment and catch fire.
Waste collection has been slowed by the loss of garbage-collecting equipment and destruction of government infrastructure.
Shinji Suda, 28, a trash collection worker in Tagajo who camped out on the upper floor of a shopping center for two days after the tsunami, said his company's 15 garbage trucks were picked up by the wave. Only one, he said last week, had been found.
Nearby, at the New Japan Compressor Co., Hiroko Yamamoto was crying as she supervised the operation of a crane lifting stray vehicles. Normally, the crane is used to haul the heavy machines the company makes.
"We've been out rebuilding since the second or third day," she said. "It's in our DNA."
The central government has started to impose some order on the process. Normal fees for scrapping household appliances such as air conditioners have been suspended until at least August. And the Justice Ministry is considering endorsing emergency regulations that would allow authorities to clear debris without first making contact with property owners.
"Some property owners may sue the government, accusing it of getting rid of something that was still useful, but, oh well. The recovery effort has to come first," said an unnamed official on a government advisory committee quoted in the Mainichi newspaper last week.
Still, there is a keen sense that, with so many people having lost almost everything, a substantial effort must be made to reunite owners with certain keepsakes. Volunteers are picking through muddy flats, salvaging snapshots, diplomas and other personal effects that might lift the spirits of survivors.
The government has said it will establish warehouses for things like photo albums and ihai stones: small mortuary tablets that commemorate deceased relatives and are placed on the Buddhist altar present in most Japanese homes.
Times staff writers Don Lee and Mark Magnier in Tagajo City and special correspondents Azusa Morii and Kenji Hall in Tokyo contributed to this report.

- Machine Whey, By MTS Nutrition, Vanilla, 5lb,
Machine Whey By MTS Nutrition - 5lb - Vanilla - Protein
MTS Nutrition Machine Whey is the perfect Whey Protein Supplement. While we want the in-tact biologically active fractions found in Whey Protein Concentrate, we also want Whey Protein Isolate to keep the lactose extremely low, and the fat and carbohydrate content nearly non-existent. Machine Whey (MTS Whey) provides this along with:
- 25 g Amino-Rich Protein
- 10,927 mg Bond Essential Amino Acids Per Serving
- 2,579 mg Leucine - The Anabolic Trigger
- 5,389 Anabolic BCAA and 4,459 mg Muscle-Protecting L-Glutamine
- Amazingly delicious and rich flavor
- HIGH Amounts of Naturally-Occurring L-Glutamine and BCAAs to help build lean muscle
- Fast-Acting and Hard-Hitting Pre and Post Workout Protein
- No Sugar Added, Aspartame Free
- VERY Low Lactose
MTS Nutrition Machine Whey is perfect for use around training and is also a great protein source for your meals. Imagine replacing that bland chicken breast with a delicious milkshake - this is the protein for you!
The Potent, Rapid-Flooding of amino acids from Machine Whey (MTS Whey) spikes your blood amino acid levels and rushes protein into your muscles. In fact, recent clinical research ahs demonstrated that this acceleration can lead to enhanced lean mass gains and fat loss! The Cross-Flow Cold Process filtering technology makes sure that your whey is not denatured and stays intact, unlike some other processing techniques commonly used.
Machine Whey is the quality protein brought to you by the man who brought ethics back to the industry, Marc Lobliner. It is not only the one of the cleanest, purest, most QC-tested Whey proteins you will ever find, it has ingredients that make sense.
- A High Biological Value Protein Matrix of a proprietary Whey Concentrate and Whey Isolate Blend designed for optimal results and capitalizing on Whey's health and immune benefits, NOT just its immense muscle-building and fat loss effects, although we get all of those and MORE than other proteins
- NO Maltodextrin, Dextrose, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Mono and Di-Glycerides, added Sugars or Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and/or cottonseed oil (TRANS FATS!) which have NO PLACE in your protein shake!
- PROVEN 3rd part lab tests with every batch
- The NSF assurance that you are getting what we say you are getting
- Machine Muscle Approved RESULTS
Arguably the Greatest Protein Blend Ever Created
Some people look at Whey and say "Isolate and Hydrolosates cost more but work better". Well, they are wrong. When you over-process whey, you lose some beneficial properties that could be negatively affecting your gains. Are you missing out?
The Protein Designed to the EXACT Specifications of MTS Nutrition for Optimal Results and HEALTH
Machine Whey uses a VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE (80%) Whey Protein. I will argue that concentrate is the BEST form of whey. Whey Protein Concentrate is more in-tact than Whey Protein Isolate, meaning more of natures AWESOME powers that although have not been shown to increase lean mass, HAVE been shown to help with immune function. The Whey Protein Concentrate made specifically for Machine Whey utilizing MTS Nutrition's exact specifications contain:
- Higher Levels of growth factors such as IGF-1 as opposed to isolate
- In its naturally-occurring fat, it contains various healthy fats, such as CLA
- Higher levels of immunoglobins and lactoferrins to support immune function
MTS Nutrition also uses a super-high, above 90% Whey Protein Isolate to keep the fat and carbs in check without hampering the goodness they get from their specifically-manufactured Whey Protein Concentrate.
And What About Cholesterol?
Alongside the above, you want to have some naturally occurring cholesterol in this blend. First off, this is naturally occurring in Whey Protein concentrate and you should not shy away from this! People NEED Cholesterol to:
- Maintain cell walls
- Insulate nerve fibers
- Produce Vitamin D
- Maintain healthy hormone levels
Also, studies have shown that dietary cholesterol does NOT raise blood cholesterol and the theory is that sugar and saturated fats are the culprit for this. Thus, you WANT this in there!
Machine Whey is YOUR Protein
Make the switch to the Whey Protein designed with YOUR goals in mind. Make the switch to Machine Whey TODAY!
What's In MTS Nutrition Machine Whey?
|Ingredient: Whey Protein Blend (Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate), Natural & Artificial Flavors, Xanthan Gum, Salt, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium.
How to Take MTS Nutrition Machine Whey:

Alleged Knife-Puller "Stun"ned
Police are looking for a man who allegedly pulled a knife on a woman at a gas station in western Sioux Falls Monday night and was hit with a stun gun in return.
Information Officer Sam Clemens says the 27-year-old woman told police she had just driven up to the station in the 4600 block of West 41st Street around 9pm Monday and was getting out of her car when the man approached her.
Clemens says the man told the woman he knew who she was, although she didn't know him, and then he pulled a knife and threatened her.
Clemens says the woman told police she pulled a stun gun from her purse and used it on him. When the man fell to the ground, the woman says she took the knife and drove away, leaving him lying there.
Around 10:30pm, the woman went to the Law Enforcement Center and reported the incident.
Clemens says detectives will use store surveillance video to try to identify the man, and also to determine whether it all happened as the woman reported it.

It's birthday gifts for guys time and you need some 30th birthday present ideas for him. You could pick from the standard assortment of birthday gifts for men, but wouldn't you rather find something really unique or really interesting? Because birthday ideas for men can be pretty stale at times. Sports, fishing, cars - all your standard fare. But what if your birthday present for Dad this year was a personalized hoodie or tie, or an awesome personalized accessory for his BBQ?
The conventional wisdom is that birthday presents for guys are super simple, and in a lot of cases they are. But what if you could make this birthday and your gift really stand out because you went that little extra bit to find something really special? Personalized golf balls might be a hole-in-one 60th birthday idea for Dad not to mention personalized golf club accessories.
Or go something more in the conventional route, but make it extra unique. That personalized branding iron for BBQing might be the perfect gift for that 40-year-old man who loves to grill. Then there's the 21st birthday gift ideas for him which is another one for clichés. How about a world map for travel as he is almost done with college, or a personalized money clip? And if you're a sucker for the 21st birthday rite of passage we've got plenty of customizable barware to look at as well.
Birthday gift ideas for men can be simple, whether gifts for brother, boyfriend or dad, but oh how much more special a day when you really take the time to pick something interesting and unique for him. Because right out of the box that branding iron could be sizzling initials on steaks or burgers, or that personalized pocketknife could be cutting ribbons on other gifts. Take the time and let us inspire you with our men's birthday gift ideas and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the end result. You'll have less stress and he'll be impressed with those cool and different gifts you found for him.

Developing Writing and Oral Communication Skills
Teachers are enhancing their content-based lessons using 21st Century tools to develop ESL students' language and communication skills. They are discovering that digital storytelling projects increase motivation, creativity and overall achievement in the language classroom. Â Not only do learning projects like this enhance the acquisition of English, but the students are also acquiring transferable 21st skills.
Free or fee-based  online subscriptions to sites such as discoveryeducation.com provide teachers with a variety of media that can be searched by subject, grade or media type as well as lesson plan resources and classroom management tools. Teachers have the option to download full video or video segments and to save what they like so that students can view and review them anytime or anywhere.
Teachers and students can script, record and edit their own digital stories. The Flip camcorder is portable and easy to use, but we don't use their editing software. Instead video clips can be imported into Windows MovieMaker or iMovie to create video lessons and study prep guides on content area topics. Both MovieMaker and iMovie allow the user to import additional sound and picture files to create a movie project that is polished, professional and tailored to the learning objectives of the class.
Hall Davidson, www.discoveryedspeakersbureau.com, an expert on digital storytelling and teaching with media technology states: "What veteran teachers suspected the research has proved: 21st Century students are different. With different attention spans, higher IQ test scores, and social networks, their sophistication comes earlier—with a different skill set. There is a silver lining: We can teach this "New Brain†more effectively, more efficiently, more engagingly. We have the technology! Media has evolved and education must evolve to match.â€

Draft Analyst Podcast with Jon Dove and Tony pauline converse on a number of draft related issues
Though Jim Harbaugh recently stated he intends to remain head coach of the 49ers through the end of the 2015 season when his contract expires, league insiders don't expect that will be the case. The team whose keeps popping as a potential landing spot are the Dolphins
The New York Jets are returning to a more run oriented offense in 2014 in an attempt to exploit their strengths and lessen the load on Geno Smith. I'm told the game plan is to try and keep Smith under 20 passes per game. Part of the plan is to keep continuity on the offensive line, which is why they've made resigning right tackle Austin Howard a priority. At the same time I'm told the team views re-signing veteran guard Willie Colon as a last resort and will look to sign a player at the position via free agency. Names that make the most sense include Zane Beadles of the Denver Broncos and Geoff Schwartz of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Aaron Donald continues his assault up draft boards. While most mock drafts have Timmy Jernigan pegged as the first round pick of the Chicago Bears, Donald's name continues to be talked about amongst league insiders.

Star Wars Death Star Waffle Maker
Come to the Dark Side; we have waffles
- Perfect for all your evil waffle needs
- Produces a 7" diameter round waffle with two sections
- A ThinkGeek creation & exclusive
The secret of the Death Star was that it looked like one thing, but it was technically another. It looked like a moon hanging there in space, but we know that secretly it was actually a space station. Waffles are a lot like that, too. They look like dessert, all covered with strawberries and whipped cream and chocolate chips and powdered sugar and syrup (well, maybe not all of those at once), but they're technically breakfast. Booyah.
If you're ready to make your kitchen explode with awesome, you need a Death Star Waffle Maker. Plug it in, warm it up, and pour the batter onto the non-stick cooking plates. In just minutes, you'll have golden, delicious waffles, good enough to destroy a planet for. Well, a small one, at least.
And if one side turns out a little funny with bubbles or you overcook it and there's a Dark Side, just flip it over. There's a Concave Dish Composite Beam Superlaser indentation on both cooking plates, so you're covered. And both sides have pockets for your tasty toppings. Just keep in mind when you break out the syrup that it's likely to do its own version of the trench run.
Honestly, there's no need to waffle. You know you want it.
Product Specifications

So, the illusion was lil' too obvious for us yesterday, ayeh? I agree. But look at what birdie brought in today! Once again you'll notice some kind of face figure, moreover it's easy to see the face again, but the main difference between this and previous Octavio's artwork is that the formation on your right wasn't painted. It's a real-life scene, and the image you see is a photo of an actual "exhibit".
I'm not exactly sure of the origin, and whether this is some kind of prepared art installation, or maybe an "accidental" gem instead. With later being less possible, I believe that the person who deposited all the junk at this particular location, knew exactly what he or she was doing, and how to arrange all the garbage to form something that makes sense. This optical illusion greatly reminds me of what the store owner in Burkina Faso did to his shop.

My cars exhaust doesn't allow for fitting heat exchangers, so I am left with the dilemma of how to ensure my screen doesn't mist up.
I had considered an electrical heater / blower - but the electrical system is going to struggle with anything that is high output. Having said that - I'm not worried about heating the car - merely demisting the screen so perhaps this is a viable option.
Mick had suggested winding copper tubing around the exhaust to act as a heat exchanger and routing the coolant liquid through a conventional heater/blower
Another idea I had was to duct the air that passes over the oil cooler directly into the car to demist the screen - not sure if there would be a sufficient flow of air or enough heat though?
Alternatively, I could duct the air from the engine cooling shroud straight into the car bypassing any heat exchanger. The air would be at ambient temperature but I'm thinking the flow of fresh air would be enough to keep the screen clear?
Any advice?

Our guest blogger today, Jodi Magness, Ph.D., holds a senior endowed chair in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A noted archaeologist, she has spent a lot of time working at Masada, the location of a famous siege during the First Jewish-Roman War. In conjunction with our current special exhibition, The BIrth of Christianity: A Jewish Story, she will explore the significance of this event in a lecture at HMNS on March 9: Masada: Last Stronghold of the Jewish Resistance Against Rome.

The ancient Jewish historian Flavius Josephus ended his monumental, multi-volume account of the First Jewish Revolt against Rome (the Jewish War) with the story of a mass suicide at Masada. According to Josephus, some 960 Jewish rebels holding out on top of Masada – the last stronghold to remain in Jewish hands after Jerusalem's destruction in 70 C.E. – chose to commit suicide rather than surrender to the Roman troops besieging the fortress. It is because of Josephus' story of the suicide, which includes a speech allegedly given by the rebel leader Eleazar ben Yair, that Masada became a symbol of Jewish resistance and the modern state of Israel.
However, Yigael Yadin's 1963-65 excavations atop Masada failed to turn up conclusive evidence of the mass suicide. In fact, the archaeological evidence from Masada can be interpreted either as proving or disproving the mass suicide story, depending on how one evaluates Josephus' reliability as an historian. For example, a group of inscribed potsherds (ostraca) found at Masada, including one bearing the name "ben Yair," might be the lots drawn by the rebels prior to committing suicide or could simply be food ration tickets. Most likely, some rebels committed suicide while others were killed or surrendered to the Romans and were taken captive.

However, archaeology sheds valuable light on other aspects of the Roman siege of Masada, which was conducted in the winter-spring of 72/73 or 73/74 C.E. and probably lasted no longer than 2-3 months. The Roman siege works, including eight camps that housed approximately 8000 troops and a circumvallation (siege) wall, still are clearly visible encircling the base of the mountain. In June-July 1995, I was privileged to co-direct excavations in the Roman siege works at Masada, together with Professor Gideon Foerster (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), Dr. Haim Goldfus (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev), and Mr. Benny Arubas (Hebrew University of Jerusalem).
We focused much of our attention on Camp F, which is located on the northwest side of the mountain and housed about half of the Tenth Legion (with the other half in Camp B at the eastern foot of Masada). Our excavations brought to light low stone walls over which the Roman troops pitched leather tents. The floors of the tent units were covered with broken potsherds; altogether we recovered 240 kilograms (about 530 pounds) of pottery. The overwhelming majority of the pottery belongs to local types of storage jars, a finding that sheds light on the provisioning of the Roman troops during the siege.
Because Masada is in the desert, supplies (mainly food and water) were likely brought in skins, bags, and woven baskets from other parts of the country, transported overland on pack animals or on small boats across the Dead Sea. Upon reaching the camps at Masada, the supplies were emptied into large ceramic jars for storage. The jars protected the contents from dampness, insects, and vermin. Most of the soldiers probably prepared and consumed their food using utensils in their individual mess-kits. However, the commander seems to have dined in style, judging from delicately painted bowls with eggshell thin walls found in his tent unit, which were imported from nearby Nabataea (southeast of the Dead Sea).
For me, archaeology is not a means of validating (or negating) personal faith and beliefs. Instead it is a means of recovering and understanding the past, often one potsherd at a time, as in the case of Masada. These potsherds are pieces of a puzzle which enable us to reconstruct part of a picture that was otherwise lost.

Today's guest blogger is Neal Immega. He has a Ph.D. in Paleontology and is a Master Docent here at HMNS. In his post below – originally printed in the Museum's volunteer newsletter – Neal discusses Evolution Development and DNA.
Popular media crime shows, like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, show amazing applications of DNA technology. For example, a person can be traced to a specific location by means of cells he left on a door knob.
A new science called "Evo-Devo," shorthand for Evolutionary Development, can tell us even more amazing information. Evo-Devo techniques probe deeply into the structures of DNA to look at how DNA actually codes for the growth of body parts, telling us more about the animal kingdom than we ever dreamed possible. It shows genetic similarities between very different organisms and lets us understand how two organisms, like mice and men, can have DNA that is 85% similar and, yet, code for very different organisms.
We all know the basics of DNA molecules, where the genetic code is stored by a very long sequence of four proteins strung together in various arrangements. That is the easy part! What we need to
worry about is how these genes blueprint a living being. Geneticists, like Sean Carroll (whose popular books are listed in the references box), have discovered that the DNA code is made up of some large master programs that control things, such as eyes, and lots of very small programs (they call them switches) that control what kind of eye will be displayed.
|Normal Fruit Fly

Let's confine ourselves to understanding and experimenting on simple life forms, such as fruit flies. To figure out which specific piece of DNA causes some feature to appear in a developing embryo, geneticists experimentally inactivate a segment of DNA, transplant the complete strand (including the inactivated segment) back into the egg, fertilize that egg, and then see what turns up missing. If that missing part is not vital for survival, the egg might even grow into an adult fly. Compare the drawings of a normal fly with the one below it where the master program for eyes has been deleted.
|Eyeless Fruit Fly

Such experiments have found that the master program for making eyes can cause an eye to grow on a fly's leg, body, antenna, or inside the body, depending on where it is placed on the DNA strand. Check out the drawing showing the results of moving the master program for legs to the site of the antenna. Note that the extra legs are fully formed but lack the neuron connections to the brain and so are not functional. (In the references box is a link to an electron microscope image of a real fruit fly that shows a mutation in which eyes replace antennae.)
Various mollusks (like clams, snails, and octopuses) grow eyes that vary in complexity from very simple sensitive pits to complex eyes that would compete well with human eyes. The EXACT SAME eye master program from a fruit fly can replace the eye master program for a squid, and it will grow a perfectly functional squid eye. You might be tempted to say that fruit flies and squids are cousins.
|Fruit fly with extra legs

That is an amazing statement, but to take it even further, the same experiment with a mouse eye master program will grow fly eyes on flies and squid eyes on squids. They only differ by the small switch segments. These experiments establish a link between vertebrates and invertebrates that paleontologists are unlikely to find in the rock record. This also helps explain the amazing degree of structural similarity between mice and men—although many of the master programs are similar, the really critical parts of the DNA are the small switches that control the details.
Mollusks have just one master program that is controlled by different switches. Pectens, for example, have the most complex vision arrangement of any animal with three different types of eyes on its body. The DNA can be experimentally adjusted to grow any of these eyes anywhere on the body. Random mutations could thus cause novel arrangements, and survival would judge their fitness—evolution in action.
The switch concept explains how mice, chimps, and humans can have a similar number of genes. The switches control the result of the master programs. You can pick up any modern textbook and read that men and chimps have nearly identical genes. It is the switches that make us different and that provide the evolutionary means for dramatic changes, good and bad.
The fossil record is full of cases where a dramatic new species just appears. Paleontologists have often wondered if this was caused by a missing rock interval, by migration, or by rapid evolution. The concept of rapid evolution has often been discounted because it seemed to violate the incremental nature of evolution. We now can see how rapid evolution may just be a single point mutation in a switch. There are numerous biological examples where altering one protein is lethal, as in Tay-Sachs disease, or altering another might bear strongly on survival, as in changing
the color of hair from white to black.
Geneticists can now explain things in a way that profoundly affects how we think about evolution. Biologists and paleontologists have always wondered if evolution had to generate complex structures like eyes from scratch for each phylum. The reuse of master programs from very simple life forms through complex ones means that evolution can build on what went on
before. Critics of evolution often claim that eyes are too complex to have evolved. (The "half-an-eye-is-nogood" argument is derived from the first sentence of the Darwin quote in the box below.) Now, with Evo-Devo tools, we can see commonalities between the genetics of simple life forms and complex life forms– between clams and people.
The possibilities just became more complex.

Under the terms of the new registration agreement announced in Washington, the Environmental Protection Agency extended Monsanto's commercial license to sell Bollgard cotton an additional five years. The registration was scheduled to expire this fall following a one-year extension.
"We are pleased that the EPA has re-registered Bollgard cotton without any significant change in the insect resistance management plans as recommended by the industry," said Hollis Isbell, Alabama grower and chairman of the National Cotton Council's producer organization.
"Growers need this technology and are keenly aware of the importance of an effective IRM strategy. Consistent refuge options will help promote compliance."
In applauding the extension, the Cotton Council pledged to continue encouraging producer compliance with the extended insect resistance management requirements, which it helped negotiate with EPA.
The EPA originally approved Bollgard cotton in 1995. The renewal amends and continues the original registration, coming at the end of an extensive re-registration process that included evaluation of the technology, monitoring of commercial-level environmental impacts and an assessment of required stewardship practices.
"This renewed registration assures that cotton growers can continue to use this valuable technology to protect against insect pests while reducing the use of chemical pesticides," said Randy Deaton, global cotton lead for Monsanto. "This renewal affirms the EPA's assessment of the environmental and health safety, effectiveness and benefits of this technology."
EPA also extended its decision on insect-protected corn, including Monsanto's YieldGard corn, to allow the public additional time to review recently published scientific studies that demonstrate no harm to Monarch butterflies. A decision is expected in about two weeks.
As in the past, insect resistance management plans will continue to require growers using Bollgard cotton to plant a conventional cotton refuge to provide an adequate population of susceptible insects to mate with any resistant insects that could emerge from protected fields.
Key elements of the renewed registration include:
The term of the renewed registration is another five years, with the same resistance management options offered in the past. EPA will review the effectiveness of the 95:5 untreated option in 2004 to determine whether it will continue after that season.
A third party will conduct an annual survey to measure grower understanding and proper use of the resistance management requirements as is currently done with insect-protected corn, and EPA will expect growers to affirm their compliance with the requirements annually.
Growers can continue to use a "community refuge," following specific guidance, rather than requiring each grower to plant unprotected cotton in their own fields.
Under the new registration, growers can continue to opt for a 95:5 external unsprayed refuge, a 95:5 embedded refuge or an 80:20 sprayed refuge.
In earlier meetings with farm organizations, EPA officials attempted to make a case for increased refuge requirements to forestall the buildup of resistance to cotton containing the Bollgard gene. Environmental groups had requested higher refuge acres, citing concerns over the loss of sprayed Bt or Bacillus thuringiensis compounds for organic farmers.
But farm organizations, including such groups as the Stoneville, Miss.-based Delta Council, argued that increasing the refuge requirement to as high as 30 percent would pose economic hardship for producers who are already dealing with low cotton prices and weather problems.
The farm organizations noted that no cases of insect resistance have been documented although Bollgard cotton has been planted on 20 million acres in the United States since its introduction in 1996.
National Cotton Council leaders also stressed the need for consistency in insect resistance management plans to help farmers comply.
In preparation for Bollgard re-registration, EPA completed a risk assessment for cotton containing the Bt gene concluding, "there are no unreasonable adverse effects from these products."

Urban Meyer (who posed for photos this morning with Archie Griffin and Luke Fickell, who will stay on staff) is now officially head coach of The Ohio State University. The deal has been signed (and can be found below), and includes all kinds of fun clauses.
• The term sheet makes official Meyer's six-year deal, at $4 million guaranteed. But there is plenty of room for bonuses. Meyer can make another half million if he sticks around just two years, and a $1.2 million retention clause if he remains coach for the length of the contract.
• Meyer can make an extra $100,000 each year his players' Academic Progress Rate is above 990, and $150,000 if it's north of 1000. (FBS average is 947.)
• Each year Ohio State has a Graduation Success Rate above 70 percent, Meyer will receive $100,000; if it's above 80 percent, $150,000.
• Meyer will receive $50,000 for winning the Big Ten "Leaders" Division, $150,000 for a BCS Bowl appearance, and $250,000 for a BCS National Championship game appearance. For each Big Ten Championship Game victory, Meyer will receive $100,000 and another year on his contract.
• Meyer gets $1200 a month for an automobile stipend, and Ohio State will pay his monthly dues for a golf course membership.
• "Ohio State will commit to working with Coach to create the Urban Meyer Fellowship for Ethics and Leadership in Sports."
The first "question" from the local media at Meyer's press conference this afternoon? "Welcome home." This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Another of baseball's offseason deadlines arrives late Friday night, when all clubs must tender contracts to all players who aren't already signed for 2013.
For most, this is a mere formality, the acknowledgment by the organization that it intends to keep said player for another season. But for a handful of players -- typically those who have more than three years of service time and thus are arbitration-eligible -- this can be a tense time.
Arbitration-eligible players are guaranteed to make decent money, at minimum 80 percent of what they made the previous season but typically much more than that. If a player who falls into this category hasn't performed up to snuff but stands to earn a raise through the arbitration process, he becomes a candidate to be "non-tendered," which is just a fancy way of saying he's released and becomes a free agent.
Most clubs non-tender at least one or two players each winter, and the Nationals have shown a willingness to do just that over the years. They non-tendered reliever Doug Slaten last December, and the previous year non-tendered Wil Nieves, Joel Peralta and Chien-Ming Wang (they later re-signed Wang).
The Nationals have a boatload of arbitration-eligible players this winter, 10 of them to be precise. Most are key contributors and will be tendered contracts without a second thought: Ian Desmond, Jordan Zimmermann, Ross Detwiler, Drew Storen, Tyler Clippard, Craig Stammen and Roger Bernadina.
There are three players, however, who could conceivably be out of jobs come midnight Friday: John Lannan, Jesus Flores and Tom Gorzelanny.
Start with Lannan, probably the most difficult decision of the bunch. After relegating him to Class AAA Syracuse for much of last season despite his $5 million salary, the Nationals seemed to be saying they had no long-term use for the left-hander.
But Lannan did come up big when the Nationals needed him to make six late-season starts, four of them in place of the shut-down Stephen Strasburg. There remains a good amount of support for the 28-year-old within the organization, and there are some who would like to see him get the No. 5 starter's job that was snatched away from him last spring.
There are two problems, though: 1) Lannan is guaranteed to make at least $4 million, and will probably make more than that, perhaps even a raise from last year's salary, and 2) he's out of options and thus can't be sent back to Syracuse again in 2013.
It's no secret that general manager Mike Rizzo has listened to trade offers for Lannan for some time. To date, no one has offered enough in return to get Rizzo to pull the trigger. And it's unlikely anyone will up the ante now, knowing Lannan could be had for nothing next week.
Which leaves the Nationals to decide whether to simply cut ties with the lefty now or go ahead and tender him a contract, committing either to paying him the full $5 million or so to be a part of their 2013 rotation or perhaps releasing him during spring training when they would only be on the hook for about one-sixth of his salary.
(That final scenario sounds like the most plausible solution. The Nationals can tender Lannan his contract, then wait and see if he's needed in the Opening Day rotation or if a solid trade offer finally is made. If neither happens, he can be cut loose in mid-March at a fraction of the cost.)
While there are scenarios that would result in Lannan making the Nationals' Opening Day roster, there really aren't any plausible ones that would result in Flores making it. Both Wilson Ramos and Kurt Suzuki would probably have to be injured for Flores' services to be required. And even then, the Nationals have plenty of young catching depth in Jhonatan Solano and Sandy Leon.
Flores, who made $850,000 last season, won't cost an arm and a leg, but there's simply no place for him in the organization anymore. It would be an unfortunate parting with the 28-year-old catcher, who was originally plucked away from the Mets in the 2006 Rule 5 draft, but it's probably time for both sides to go their separate ways.
Gorzelanny certainly was a valuable piece to the Nationals' bullpen last season, a durable left-hander who could eat up innings when a starter got knocked out early. And the club would happily take him back next year.
The only downside: Gorzelanny already made $3 million last season and will receive a raise next season. Is a long reliever and mop-up man really worth that much money? Probably not, but considering the shortage of lefties in the Nationals' bullpen at the moment -- Sean Burnett and Michael Gonzalez each are free agents -- there may be no choice but to tender Gorzelanny a contract and pay him a hefty sum for a role that doesn't usually command one.

Trade agreements being negotiated by the Bush Administration hold promise of additional sales of U.S. agricultural products, Senator Thad Cochran says.
"It's our government's policy to do all we can to encourage additional movement toward free trade," he said at the annual Conservation Tillage Cotton and Rice Conference at Robinsonville, Miss.
The chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee said he has been pleased that the Senate has ratified several free trade agreements that the administration has negotiated, and believes the pending Central America Free Trade Arrangement (CAFTA) holds additional sales opportunities for U.S. agriculture.
The negotiations process has been completed for the agreement that includes Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala, he said. "All are markets for U.S. rice, so it's important to your industry that these agreements were successfully negotiated. I predict the Senate will approve it."
Tariff rate quotas were established in the agreement for both rough and milled rice, which "will insure access and increased growth for U.S. rice sales," he said.
The administration plans to renew discussions to include Costa Rica in the agreement, as well as the Dominican Republic, in order to enlarge trade opportunities for the U.S., Cochran said. (Costa Rica has since agreed to join. See article on Page 14.) "These agreements are good for our country's economy and the economies of the countries we negotiate with."
He said the Bush Administration is continuing to salvage the DOHA development agenda of the World Trade Organization, which was scuttled in last year's Cancun, Mexico talks when several countries, including Brazil, opposed using the agreement drafted by the European Community and the U.S. as a basis for future negotiations.
"They're now being challenged to become more actively involved," Cochran said, "and I think the administration is on the right track. Their attitude is, full speed ahead, keep the pressure on, and push for action."
The U.S. trade team is working closely with Mexico and Europe to identify and resolve problems between the countries, he said. "We're facing claims of dumping rice in the Mexican market…and I believe the U.S. Trade Representative's office is doing a good job of identifying and addressing these concerns. You need to keep them advised and informed through your commodity organizations and be actively involved in the process. These efforts are paying off for the rice industry, and with your help, I believe they will continue to do so."
In Europe, Cochran said, U.S. rice has become more competitive as a result of margin of preference tariff calculations. "This provides U.S. rice with a potential for unlimited growth in the European market."
Responding to questions, he said he feels "the outlook is good" for a World Trade Organization agreement to be reached by 2005. "We have some very aggressive, talented negotiators, and with the leadership of the administration and support by the Congress, I think we can be successful."
Newly-emerging competitor nations, such as Brazil and India, are seeking leadership roles in shaping the content of international agreements, Cochran said. "If you want to make a worldwide agreement work, you have to have everyone involved in it and supporting it. We do have some difficult and challenging problem areas — but they are not insurmountable."

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Agency Says Retailer Fired Older Worker Because of Age
ATLANTA – Champion Window of Columbus, Ga., LLC violated federal law when it fired an employee because of his age, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Civ. Action No.4:10-cv-00080-CDL., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, Champion Window fired Installation Manager Ronald Henderson, 56, because of his age. A top manager reportedly issued an order that Henderson be fired and "someone young and energetic" be hired in his place, the EEOC said. Further, the agency said that the employer had Henderson train his much younger replacement just prior to his own discharge.
Such alleged conduct violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The EEOC is seeking back pay, liquidated damages and reinstatement for Henderson. The lawsuit also seeks injunctive relief designed to stop the discrimination and prevent it from recurring in the future.
According to company information, Champion Window of Columbus, Ga., LLC is a subsidiary of Champion Retailco, LLC, and an affiliate of Champion Window Manufacturing & Supply Company, LLC, which has 71 stores across the country. Champion Window is in the business of selling and installing windows, doors, vinyl siding and patio rooms to residential property owners.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.


text: McCormick CEO Alan Wilson named Loyola's Business Leader of the Year for 2013 February 12, 2013 | By Nick Alexopulos Alan Wilson, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of McCormick and Company, has been named the 2013 Business Leader of the Year by Loyola University Maryland's Sellinger School of Business and Management. Wilson will be honored at a dinner on Thursday, Nov. 21, at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore. "Under Alan Wilson's leadership, McCormick and Company has continued to grow its reputation and success as both a corporate anchor in Baltimore and a business that is respected internationally for product quality, innovation, and dedication to its customers and the community," said Karyl B. Leggio, Ph.D., dean of the Sellinger School. "His commitment to excellence is something we value deeply at Loyola, and we as an institution, along with our students, are extraordinarily fortunate to remain strongly tied to a company of McCormick's prestige." Wilson has served in his current role since 2008. McCormick closed 2012 with a record $4 billion in sales. Since joining McCormick in 1993, Wilson has led different organizations–from supply chain to business units–and has held many executive management roles within the company. Prior to joining McCormick, he worked at Procter & Gamble, where he held progressively responsible positions in product supply, procurement, and manufacturing. Wilson graduated from the University of Tennessee, where he attended on an R.O.T.C. scholarship. After college he served as a U.S. Army Captain and did tours in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany. Wilson currently serves on the boards of directors of the Grocery Manufacturer's Association, MeadWestvaco Corporation, and the Greater Baltimore Committee. He also serves on the Business Roundtable for Education. Wilson serves on the board of visitors of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and is a former president of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville Alumni Board. He received the University of Tennessee's Accomplished Alumni Award in 2010. The Sellinger School has honored a Business Leader of the Year since 1983, recognizing those whose vision, dedicated effort, and singular commitment to the highest ideals of business have distinguished them and their organizations as among the very best in the nation. Brian Rogers, chairman of the board and chief investment officer of T. Rowe Price Group, was honored in 2012.

This weekend I made my first excursion to a Family History Center. Practically every article we publish in Family Tree Magazine recommends going to your local FHC, not only because you have access to the Family History Librarys massive collection of microfilm but also because the volunteers are so helpful!
I gathered my ever-growing file folder of notes and photocopies and headed to the FHC in Norwood, Ohio, to see what I could find. The center is only open for a few hours a day, and since it was a Saturday, there were researchers at nearly every microfilm and computer station.
I struck up a conversation with the volunteers and learned quite a bit about their holdings. The Norwood FHC has many rolls of microfilm on permanent hold from the FHL, and quite an impressive selection of Cincinnati-specific records. They've got most of their rolls of film indexed in the card catalog you see above. (The volunteers recommend asking before you request any roll of microfilm to double-check if it is available locally. You could save $5.50!)
Most of my family is in Northeastern Ohio, but I did find a roll of Cuyahoga County birth records in the local holdings. One of the volunteers retrieved it for me and helped me get set up at a microfilm reader, and I began poking around the index and the recorded births. My great-grandmother's birth record didn't appear to be on the roll, but the index for her year did not seem to be complete. An FHC volunteer told me that births in the early 1900s were often recorded months or even years after the fact, so there's no telling where my great-grandmother would show up.
I did make one big discovery while I was at the FHCI found out that I get very queasy looking at microfilm. Will this be the end of my genealogy quest?

OXO Kitchen Tools
With OXO kitchen tools in your culinary arsenal, you have a variety of utensils at your fingertips, ideal for measuring, slicing, dicing and preparing virtually every kind of food you can imagine. From meats and cheese to bread and pastries with every conceivable fruit and vegetable in between, the OXO brand makes a gadget to fit the need. Williams-Sonoma is proud to offer high-quality OXO kitchen tools that will stand up to the everyday use that many cooks need. The superior designs and materials ensure the most winning culinary results.
Anyone who enjoys featuring a variety of fruits and vegetables in his menu selections will enjoy gadgets that take the drudgery out of slicing and dicing. Mandolines and slicers offer powerful prep assistance that will make fast work of produce. Explore the many different mandolines available, all with the same winning design that features various blades that fit into the housing. A pusher moves the fruits and vegetables over the blade for slicing in a variety of widths and shapes. Spiralizers are a hot new gadget that everyone wants to try. Simply load a fruit or vegetable into the spiralizer, turn the handle, and sharp blades produce gorgeous strands of spiralized ribbons. Handheld slicers are also available for even more prep options.
When cooking or baking demands precision measurements, kitchen scales help ensure the utmost accuracy. Digital read-outs make it easy to see the precise weight of a variety of foods, including dry ingredients, produce and even meat. Go vintage with a heavy-duty spring scale that features a generous bowl on top and a large dial face for easy number reading. Kitchen scales are ideal for those watching their weight with portion control. Choose a scale that fits your measuring needs from small to large. The largest scale is big enough to hold a 30-pound turkey.
Spices and nuts add interest to sweet or savory dishes, and processing them with spice and nut tools is a quick process. A manual nutmeg grinder holds whole nutmegs while you turn the handle to grate them finely for cooking and baking. A spice and nut grinder easily processes spices such as cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and coriander into freshly ground spices. Choose from a fine or coarse grind, always getting the freshest flavor when you grind immediately before use. Don't forget to add a nutcracker to your kitchen gadget collection to enable easy cracking of walnuts, pecans and almonds.
A collection of wine tools ensures that you are always prepared to serve family and friends a hearty glass of vino. Wine tools have never been this interesting, thanks to the newest innovations and high-tech gadgetry on the market. Forget about the standard corkscrew, and use the Rabbit Aero Lever Wine Opener to expertly remove the cork using just air pressure. A few pumps of the handle will have the cork out in seconds, always cleanly with absolutely no crumbling. Handle those tricky champagne bottles with a special opener that contains the popped cork safely to eliminate messes. For those who prefer a fully automated process, use an electric wine opener that removes the cork with the press of a button.
A busy cook can't have enough mixing bowls. A set of copper mixing bowls add distinction and style to any kitchen. These copper-plated bowls are also durable, as they are made of heavy-gauge stainless-steel. Add a splash of color with ceramic mixing bowls in a bright range of colors. The glazed stoneware is durable, and the set includes seven different sizes for many different mixing and serving options. Having a selection of kitchen gadgets and tools will make your time in the kitchen more productive and enjoyable.

Does playing ball count as working out? I eat a lot of food but I dont gain weight, I'm only 175, thats why I hate fat people.
Quote from: RBG on February 16, 2005, 07:16:44 PMQuote from: SheLaw on February 16, 2005, 07:14:39 PMDamn RBG, you're always all up in people's business. touchy aren't we?RBG why do you incessantly harass posters? I usually dont care but this is Shelaw here. Back off Josh Pologolzi.

Damn RBG, you're always all up in people's business.
I tried a pilates tape once and it didn't work for me. I heard it's great for muscle toning but I'd rather lift. I can't take staying in one position for too long.You should try a spinning class. They're a great aerobic activity and you can turn up the tension to insane amounts to really push yourself. I used to run on the treadmill all the time and it got so boring after doing it for so many years (I've been working out at the gym since I was 14). Spinning classes are my newfound love. Not only do you burn lots of calories but it's really really fun b/c of the group setting. Maybe it's b/c I used to play hoop, but I love team activities.Oh, and if you're looking for sports, you should try hoop. Out of all sports (and I've done them all, trust), I'd have to say you get the best workout from basketball HANDS DOWN. I didn't see that Oprah special but an essence issue a while back featured black women that looked INSANELY good for their age. I'm talking 70 year old women that look 40, no joke. When people ask what my motivation is for working out so hard when I'm already in such good shape I tell them that I work so hard so that I can look like this when I'm 50.

When we unpacked this week's biggest surprises from NFL Scouting Combine, Cleveland's from-the-wilderness pursuit of Jim Harbaugh easily took the cake.
In the end, it wasn't just the Browns who went after the San Francisco 49ers coach. Along with the University of Texas, USC also made a run at Harbaugh, according to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport.
It's intriguing that multiple teams believed the coach could be pried away from the job he's held for the past three seasons.
49ers CEO Jed York told Peter King of TheMMQB.com that San Francisco "had no interest in pursuing" a trade with the Browns, but the more pressing question is whether York has interest in handing Harbaugh a fat contract extension.
"I don't know if all is well in San Francisco," Rapoport told KGMZ-FM on Monday. "Obviously there's some tension. There's a couple strong-minded, very smart, very hard-working football men that don't always agree. I'm not sure that's completely rare. But the more you start looking into a situation, the more you find out. So I certainly think it's worth watching long-term, but I don't think that's why the Browns decided to reach out."
The 49ers can quell doubts about their commitment to Harbaugh with a new deal, but the sides reportedly don't agree on the coach's worth. That's the heart of the matter here, and the reason why this entire narrative says much more about the 49ers than it does the Browns or USC or anyone else.

There are few turnarounds in sports as stunning as what the Northwestern women's lacrosse team pulled off Sunday.
Two weeks after Florida had dealt the Wildcats a 22-4 defeat, the worst loss in Kelly Amonte Hiller's 12 seasons as head coach, NU executed a ball-control plan to perfection and beat the Gators 8-3 in Sunday's American Lacrosse Conference tournament final in Baltimore.
"Our defense really helped our offense," Amonte Hiller said. "We talked a lot about how we have to help them back by having good possessions, getting some of our midfielders rest and waiting for quality shots."
That led to a 23-goal swing with some other numbers that were equally remarkable:
The No. 4 Wildcats (17-2) held the No. 2 Gators, the third-highest scoring team in Division I, to the fewest goals they have scored in the program's four-season history.
By winning 10 of 13 draws, seven by Alyssa Leonard, and exercising patience on offense, Northwestern possessed the ball about 90 percent of the game. "The last time we played them was humbling," Leonard said. "We realized you can't just come out and expect it to happen. We had to will it to happen. There was a laser focus."
Florida (17-2) was left with little to do but foul, which it did 27 times to Northwestern's 14.
Northwestern outshot Florida 24-9. Junior Kat DeRonda scored three times, matching her single-game career high, after coming into the game with just seven goals all season. DeRonda also had an assist.
Sophomore goalie Bridget Bianco, totally ineffective in the first Florida game, made three big saves and scooped up a ground ball late in the game to kill one of the Gators' few possessions.
The victory assured Northwestern will have home field advantage in the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament as it seeks an eighth title in nine seasons.
The defending champion Wildcats got the second seed in the tournament, expanded from 16 to 26 teams, and will meet the Notre Dame-Stanford winner next Sunday in Evanston. This season, Northwestern has beaten both the Irish and Cardinal, who play Friday in Evanston.
Unbeaten Maryland got the top seed, with North Carolina No. 3 and Syracuse No. 4. Florida dropped to the fifth seed, primarily because the Gators played a relatively weak schedule.
