Patrick Peterson is not perfect. That does not mean he isn't an excellent cornerback. It does not mean he isn't one of the best in the NFL.
"People caught passes on Deion Sanders, they caught passes on Rod Woodson, they caught passes on Mel Blount," wide receiver
In three seasons, Peterson has had times when he has gotten beat. But he has also risen to the top of the cornerback profession. He was named first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press. He will be in his third Pro Bowl in as many seasons, the last two coming for his work on defense. The terms "elite" and "shutdown corner" are thrown around in his midst, even if they can be misleading in this day and age of pass-happy offenses and rules to accommodate them.
There is little question Peterson is one of the best.
"Who would you put ahead of him?" said Aaron Schatz of FootballOutsiders.com, who also writes for espn.com. "(Tampa Bay's Darrelle)
The metrics, whether by FO or the similarly themed ProFootballFocus.com, grade Peterson out as very good. But as Schatz points out, any statistical measure has its limitations, especially in football where each individual's play is so much more intertwined with teammates than most sports.
PFF listed Peterson on their second team All-Pro – along with Sherman – behind Miami's Brent Grimes and Revis. PFF had Peterson's overall negatively graded in four of 16 games.
"He's one of the few cornerbacks who actually takes a team's top receiver and follows them all game long," PFF's Khaled Elsayed said. "In that respect you can't compare his year to that of Sherman, Revis, (Tennessee's Alterraun) Verner or Grimes for example, because the job he has to is so much harder."
That is a point echoed by Schatz, who noted his site is still in the process of grading the 2013 cornerback play. Most teams keep cornerbacks on one side of the field or the other. Peterson has been trailing the opponent's No. 1 receiver for a couple of seasons now. In 2012, the Cardinals were 29th in the league in keeping cornerbacks on the same side, a trend that didn't change in 2013.
When Peterson is moving, it's to handle a Calvin Johnson, or an Andre Johnson, or Michael Crabtree or DeSean Jackson. FO has a ranking through their proprietary formula DVOA (which accounts for offenses/defenses the team is going against, as well as down and distance) on how each team covers the opposing team's No. 1 receiver, No. 2 receiver, other receivers, tight ends and running backs.
Ranked at the top of the list this season in covering the opposing No. 1, in terms of efficiency per pass, was the Cardinals.
"And more than any other team, they use a specific guy to cover the No. 1 receiver," Schatz said. "This is what the Jets looked like (statistically) in Revis' best years. I think this is a pretty sweet indication that Peterson is a top 10 or top five corner."
What stats can't tell is how much an opposing offense doesn't throw Peterson's way in the first place because of his presence. Tennessee's Kendall Wright had a very good day against Peterson – even coach Bruce Arians called that Peterson's worst game – and Elsayed thinks Peterson needs to cut down on the touchdowns allowed (PFF had Peterson giving up seven.)
But, Elsayed said, "he's traded blows with a lot of top receivers and if not shut them down completely, certainly slowed them down and negated their impact compared to what you're used to seeing out of them."
Peterson had three interceptions this season, down from seven in 2012. But his abilities allow defensive coordinator Todd Bowles flexibility to leave Peterson on an island and scheme in different ways with the rest of his players.
"Few guys even attempt to do what (Peterson) is doing and even fewer have as much success as him," Elsayed added. "The question is, what do you expect? If (some are) expecting a kind of Revis 2009 season where he's legitimately shutting everyone down they just need to temper their expectations because seasons like that are extremely rare for a reason."
One of Peterson's go-to quotes is that he is always trying to get better, so his play on defense should continue to improve. Critics have rightfully pointed out his struggles in the punt return game since his rookie season, but those problems have nothing to do with his play at cornerback.
"I don't play this position to be second, I play to be the best in the game," Peterson said earlier this season. "That's not being arrogant. That's not being cocky. I feel like I have done enough things in my young career to be considered the best.
"Am I the best to some people? Maybe not. But in my eyes I feel like I am the best cornerback in the league."

I'm sure it must have escaped your sharp eye that we always release xvid avi versions. For the less-than-rich kids. So that everyone can enjoy it. However, I'd find it kind of difficult to tell all those several thousand people who download and watch our higher-res releases that we're going to let this beautiful true HD 1280x720 source go to waste because our friend Karnot is feeling pouty again...
So sorry...

Thanks Mentar-chan for the release. I'm getting the HD version as I write. It saves me from getting/watching the RAW. Now we just need some other folks to pick up Romeo x Juliet today and I'll have my day complete.

LOL, this is not going on my list of "important" shows that I bring out when I make pretentious claims about Anime as an art form, but it was fun to watch. The two main characters don't seem very bright, but they do seem sincere. The art style is very competent while still being light enough to fit the subject matter. Should be a good time.
And I was just saying, "there aren't enough Flemish jokes in Anime these days..."

Is the manga version of Hyate as frantically hare-brained as this episode? I could maybe get to like this, in a bubblegum and popcorn kind of way.
Also, to play these high-quality resolutions, one needs to turn off all unneeded FFDShow options like color debanding or heavy postprocessing, unless you have a reeally beefy computer to run it with...
Anyhow, the XVid version is usually released by Eclipse at pretty much the same time, so you can watch that version. The quality difference isn't too bad!

Absolutly brilliant episode, so much moe its un-true, and that includes Hayate --- though i have to admit that Wakamoto Norio made it for me as the narrator. They couldn't have gone with anyone better for the job, your classic epic VA.

Rewatched this again with subs, the jokes are pretty good, atleast i lol'd a few times.
While Norio Wakamoto have "awesome" voice, I think the rest of the cast also did very well especially Kugimiya Rie (Nagi) and Shiraishi Ryouko (Hayate).

OK, I must say the narrator also made me laugh. This is such a refreshing change, considering the last show that I saw with a narrator was The Third, which had one of the most boring and unnecessary narrators I've ever heard...
I don't expect this anime to be smart or artistic, I just expect it to make me laugh while introducing me to some memoriable characters. And hey, so far it has accomplished that, so I've no major complaints.
Some minor nit-picks, the scene transitions felt really abrupt, especially the part after where Hayate jumps out the window. Also, I didn't really care much for the background music, but the voice acting is fairly nice. Rie Kugimiya definitely works for Nagi.

One of the main reasons I decided to take a look at this series was because it gives me another chance to hear Yahagi Sayuri. So, can anyone tell me if the character of Segawa Izumi is shown in the OP or ED? And if so, how can I identify her? Thanks in advance!

I"m just wondering/ wanted to point out some references here. IN episode 1, you see Dorthy from Marchen Awakens romance pasted on the telephone pole. That's because of the director also directed MAR
I"m kinda wondering about another reference tho. When Nagi yelled Hayate. Was that a reference to Gad Guard?
And yah, loved the narrator. Doesn't matter what he says, whenever i hear his voice it reminds me of Chiyo's Dad and it's just lol

Two months after a California regulators approved a cancer-causing pesticide for use in strawberry fields and in other crops -- and weeks after environmentalists and farm workers filed suit over the decision -- the state Assembly waded into the debate over methyl iodide Tuesday with a hearing on the toxic chemical, which is used as a soil fumigant.
The strongest testimony this week came from John Froines, a professor of environmental health at UC Los Angeles who led that independent panel hired by the state to assess the risks of methyl iodide. They recommended that California not approve the chemical.

The Alexandria City Council collectively gave guidance to City Attorney James Banks to appeal the recent decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). The BZA voted 4-2 to overturn the Planning Director's decision that a protest petition, filed by residents regarding the zoning changes for the waterfront plan, was invalid.
The City of Alexandria will appeal the BZA's decision not only because of its effect on the future of the waterfront plan, but also to obtain clarification from the Circuit Court because of the unintended consequences of the BZA's decision on future land use.
"The BZA's decision could have broad implications on future land use decisions throughout the City," stated Mayor William D. Euille. "To suggest that any text amendment be subject to a 6-1 supermajority vote of Council and the requirements of determining who is eligible to protest is both unreasonable and impractical. We respect the BZA and the opinions of citizens who don't support the waterfront plan, but for the good of the entire city, we must appeal this decision."
The City of Alexandria has 30 days from the date of the BZA's decision to appeal in Alexandria Circuit Court.

Sophie Tucker (January 13, 1886 - February 9, 1966)
Tucker was born Sophie Kalish in Tulchyn, Ukraine. Her family emigrated to the U.S. when she was an infant, and settled in Hartford, as stated by the Hartford Courant. In 1903, at the age of 17, she was briefly married to Louis Tuck. Discontented with her husband's lack of ambition, she ended the relationship and left her family to pursue a career in show business in New York City. In an attempt to create a new stage persona for herself, she adapted her married name and became Sophie Tucker. Tucker made several classic popular recordings, including "Some of These Days," which first came out in 1911. She continued performing until shortly before her death from lung disease in 1966.

Earlier this morning reports came out that Seattle's rent has risen $94 in only half a year. That means an average apartment in town now costs $1284 a month ($1628 if you live in Ballard).
Jess Spear, the Socialist Alternative climate scientist running for the 43rd District seat of the State House, has made lifting the statewide ban on rent control one of the top issues in her campaign, on top of her push to make comprehensive green energy infrastructure in Washington a reality.
In light of today's news on this quarter's 4.1 percent rent increase in Seattle, we reached out to Jess Spear and asked her to explain her vision of rent control in the state of Washington:
The recent news that Seattle's rents are continuing to skyrocket is not surprising. That the city council just decided to delay any new legislation to deal with the "affordable housing crisis," is an indication that it doesn't feel any real urgency to provide working people with relief. Again, this is not surprising, as the city and state government are controlled by politicians that are almost entirely funded by big business, including big developers like Paul Allen's Vulcan.
Kshama Sawant has repeatedly called on the rest of the city council to take the housing crisis seriously and address it with a real sense of urgency. Like Sawant, I advocate rent control to stabilize rents across the city. However, instead of applying it to certain limited areas or buildings, we advocate for the city as a whole to enact controls to stabilize rent.
To understand our vision of what rent control would mean in Seattle, I will refer you to a statement Sawant made on rent control last year:
Rent control does not eliminate rental cost increases, but it limits the rate of increase in rents so that it is in proportion with the overall cost of living (CPI), and at an amount that is affordable to tenants. In a rent control program, the percent increase in rent would be determined by economic analysis that would include variables such as cost of living, mortgage expenses, prevailing interest rates, borrowing costs, and maintenance costs. Because of this model, rent control would still enable unit owners to keep pace with inflation and maintain housing. What it would prevent is the astronomical rate of returns to big real estate companies (something that small owners rarely receive anyway).
We can't afford to wait for "the market" to do the job. People need affordable housing now. They're watching their rents go up astronomically before their eyes, while they're told to pay up or move out. Their lives are daily affected by this crisis and asking them to wait doesn't work. Developers are buying up land, lobbying the city to allow for increased heights, and getting handouts subsidized by taxpayers – but what they are building are expensive, posh apartments that few workers in the city can afford. We urgently need to lift the ban on rent control in Olympia and establish rental caps in Seattle. At the same time we need to tax wealthy corporations like Amazon, Starbucks, Boeing, and Microsoft to fund affordable housing projects.
For an interesteing look at how rent control has and hasn't worked internationally, check out this report on Germany's housing policies versus the UK.

Submission + - Male Scientists More Prone to Misconduct (sciencemag.org) 1
sciencehabit writes: Male scientists—especially at the upper echelons of the profession—are far more likely than women to commit misconduct. That's the bottom line of a new analysis by three microbiologists of wrongdoing in the life sciences in the United States. Ferric Fang of the University of Washington, Seattle; Joan Bennett of Rutgers University; and Arturo Casadevall of Albert Einstein College of Medicine combed through misconduct reports on 228 people released by the U.S. Office of Research Integrity (ORI) over the last 19 years. They then compared the gender balance—or imbalance, in this case—against the mix of male and female senior scientists and trainees to gauge whether misconduct was more prevalent among men. A remarkable 88% of faculty members who committed misconduct were men, or 63 out of 72 individuals. The number of women in that group was one-third of what one would expect based on female representation in the life sciences.

PARIS, TEXAS -- Across our nation and here in Texoma, people recognize Christmas will never be the same in Newtown, Connecticut.
So one Paris, Texas 7-year-old sent a thoughtful letter to Santa this year.
In wake of the tragic shooting, he wrote to Santa on behalf of the young victims.
Allison Harris caught up with Austin-Bryan Spann today at Chisum Elementary School to meet this little boy and hear his letter firsthand.
"Santa, please go to heaven and give the kids their gifts. Love, Austin," Austin read.
"Why did you decide to write that to Santa?"
"I felt sorry," Austin said.
7-year-old Austin did something only a sweet, innocent child would do.
He reached out to Santa for help after hearing the news from Newtown.
"I come running in," Austin said.
"And he noticed on the screen that the majority of them was born in the same year as him," Austin's mom, Kim Ruthart-Spann, said.
"Yeah, one of them had the same birthday as me," Austin said.
That got Austin's attention, realizing that those children could have been his friends.
"He said, 'They won't get to have Christmas with their mom and dad,' and I said, 'No they won't, but they'll get to have Christmas in heaven,'" Kim said.
That's when Austin grabbed his favorite colors: yellow and blue.
"I tried my best on this and I wanted it to be perfect. I messed up on some of it and I had to re-do it," Austin said.
Austin's mom posted his letter to Facebook and in just a few short days the likes and comments multiplied to nearly 50,000.
"I've been reading them to him and he'd say, 'Oh now that lady's nice, I want to meet that lady!'" Kim said.
Austin's teacher Carla Sanders was one of many who shared the letter on the Rest In Peace Sandy Hook Children page.
"I didn't know it'd go viral but I wasn't surprised because we just have a lot of kind-hearted children at our school," Carla said.
To Austin's mom, there's a powerful message in her son's words.
"These horrible things really don't happen very often. That nice things happen a lot more than bad things," Kim said.

Goodbye Alberto
Here's our take on the resignation of Alberto Gonzales: Ok, so he's resigning. They're going to replace him with someone awful.

In ordering a preteen vandal from Western Massachusetts to get a job, a juvenile court judge opened himself up to some obvious criticism — as did three state Appeals Court judges when they upheld the ruling. A boy known as Avram in court filings was found responsible at age 11 for $1,000 in damage to his neighbors' homes in Easthampton, and was given a year to make restitution. He didn't, so Juvenile Court Judge James G. Collins ordered him to find employment so he could pay. A three-judge appeals panel agreed, urging in an opinion by Judge William J. Meade that Avram try such things as obtaining a paper route or babysitting.
The weakness in these recommendations is that newspapers today generally are delivered by adults on motorized routes, rather than kids on bikes, and that few parents would trust their young children to a sitter who's facing delinquency charges. The boy's lawyer pushed the point further, noting that most forms of labor are illegal for 12-year-olds under state law. Yet despite all that, the judges are right, and a legalistic insistence that Avram couldn't possibly work off his offense would do him — and the juvenile justice system — more harm than good.
The juvenile system is built on the idea that troubled young people can be reformed, and that they will respond to the opportunity to better themselves. It's an article of faith that offenders who can make it up to their victims are less likely to reoffend. Inherent in the appeals judges' other recommendations — shoveling snow, raking leaves, carrying groceries — is that surely there's something an able-bodied 12-year-old can do to earn money, and that doing so will teach him a valuable lesson.
And while it's highly unlikely Avram can raise the full $1,000 by raking leaves, the judges, District Attorney's Office, and victims might well be placated if the boy simply made a serious effort.
Meanwhile, advocates for juvenile offenders should be open to alternative punishments. It's a common, and legitimate, complaint that authorities have become too quick to impose adult-style criminal punishments upon offenders whose brains and moral sensibilities are still forming. Making a delinquent child shovel snow, in contrast, is a punishment that longtime Western Massachusetts resident Norman Rockwell would approve of — and shows the kind of flexibility the juvenile system needs.

When you buy a share, you're buying a small unit of ownership in a company. Trading shares as CFDs means you do not own the underlying, but you can still speculate on the price of that company. Therefore, before trading shares as CFDs, it's really important to research both the company and the industry it's in.
An added benefit of trading shares as CFDs is that you'll still receive dividends. They represent your share of the company's profits and are usually paid out twice a year. The amount you receive depends on how much the management distributes to shareholders, and how much is reinvested back into the business.
Share prices are affected by many factors, including supply and demand, the company's earnings, and expectations of the company's future performance (based on a wide variety of things such as industry legislation, the company's management team and the health of the economy).

See an example of a shares CFD trade
Select a market
You're interested in trading a Barclays share CFD. Our price is currently 289.85 / 290.00, priced in pence..
Sell or buy
You choose to 'buy' 5000 shares at the offer price (290.00), because you believe the market will rise.
Alternatively, you could 'sell' at the bid price (289.85) if you believe the market will fall.
Commission and margin
Commission is charged twice, once when your position is opened, and again when it is closed (per side).
In this example, your total exposure is 5000 shares x 290.00p = £14,500. Commission is therefore £14.500 x 0.1% = £14.50 to open the position.
The margin required on Barclays shares is 5%, so to open this trade you would need to have £14,500 x 5% = £725 in your account.
Closing your trade
Over the course of the day the market rises, and at 3pm our Barclays share CFD price is 294.85 / 295.00.
You choose to close your trade by placing a 'sell' trade on 5000 shares at the bid price (294.85).
Calculating profit / loss
Profit / loss is calculated based on the difference between your opening and closing prices, in points.
In this case: 294.85p - 290.00p = 4.85p
You bought 5000 shares, and the market moved in your favour. Therefore your gross profit is: 5000 x 4.85p = £242.50.
Commission is charged when you close your trade as well, in this case 5000 shares x 294.85p x 0.1% = £14.74.
What if...
Similarly, if the market had fallen by 4.85p, your 'buy' trade would have resulted in a £242.50 gross loss.
Net profit / loss
To accurately calculate your net profit or loss, you would need to factor in any commission or funding charges. In this example, your total commission cost was £14.50 + £14.74 = £29.24, and there are no funding costs because the position was not held overnight.

Why do companies offer shares?
By holding an initial public offering (IPO) and floating a company on a stock market, the management allow investors to buy shares and are able to raise capital to put back into the company. If this money is used for expansion and improvement it should boost the share price, so the company and its investors are heavily reliant upon each other.
Flotation is also a way for a business owner to realise a profit, particularly if they have built the company from scratch.
What are the funding and margin requirements for extended hours trading?
When trading during extended hours, normal margin requirements will apply.
It is important to make sure you have sufficient funds in your account to cover any open positions on these markets, as stops, limits and orders to open can be triggered during these times.
How do I trade share DMA with IG?
Our pricing technology is engineered to find the best available prices on both OTC (over-the-counter) and DMA (direct market access). This means that DMA prices are not necessarily better than OTC, but direct access to the markets can give you greater visibility and flexibility as a trader.
There are many added complexities to the trading environment and there can be an increased risk. As we take a parallel position in the underlying market, DMA traders need to be aware that once an order has been executed we are unable to change or reverse the position.
Most clients will need to have a minimum £1000 cash balance on their account to activate DMA. You can then choose to activate the data feeds you need and the platform you'd like to trade on.
What are the costs of DMA?
Our only charges are a small commission – the same as an OTC trade.
Exchange fees
Depending on the exchange you wish to view or trade on, you may be liable to pay data fees. These fees are refunded if you're a frequent trader.
Other fees
Under the terms of our customer agreement, we will also pass on to you any transaction costs, such as stock borrowing fees, which we incur as a result of your transaction.
How does share trading with DMA work?
Our DMA service allows you to trade on underlying market prices and depth, but what you'll actually receive on placing a trade is a CFD from us. It works like this:
So while you're trading at market prices, you won't gain any ownership rights over the equities that form the subject of your CFD.
What are corporate actions?
A corporate action occurs when a publicly-traded company initiates a change to the business that will affect its shareholders, such as a merger, acquisition or share split. Any corporate action will normally need to be agreed by the company's board of directors and authorised by its shareholders.
A corporate action may have substantial implications for the company's finances, including its share price and performance.

Panellists will have regular opportunities to take part in the charity's research projects by completing short surveys as well as through one-to-one interviews and focus groups.
Evidence gathered through the research will inform Action on Hearing Loss's policy, services and campaigning work for a world where hearing loss doesn't limit or label people, tinnitus is silenced and where people value and look after their hearing. Delia Henry, Director of Action on Hearing Loss Scotland said: 'We'd be grateful if Brechin residents would get involved in our panel, which we hope offers a great opportunity to feed in their first-hand experience of hearing loss and highlight everyday issues that will help shape our future work, supporting people who are deaf or have hearing loss or tinnitus to live their lives to the full."
For more information or to get involved in the research panel, people can complete a short questionnaire at www.aohl.org.uk/researchpanel or by e-mailing: email@example.com

Brodbeck Music Hall remains the oldest building on the Hood College campus. Built in the shape of a German cross in 1868, it was a social gathering place for the early German settlers, and later served as a florist shop, a farmer's home, and a warehouse before it was purchased by the Woman's College of Frederick for educational use in 1897. In its early years, it was a residence for faculty, staff, and even students.
It has been the scene of every sort of gathering for college students, including lectures, plays, concerts, faculty skits, student reviews, Halloween parties, chapel services, campus vespers, communion services, funerals, weddings and an ordination. Brodbeck's role in the history of the College has been varied and amazing, evoking different memories for different generations of the Hood students.
Appropriately, the building bears the name of one of Hood's earliest and strongest supporters, The Honorable Andrew R. Brodbeck. A kind and generous friend of the College and an ardent supporter of higher education, Andrew Brodbeck was born in York County, Pa., in 1860. The son of Jessiah and Louisa Renoll Brodbeck, he lived most of his life in Hanover, where he was one of the county's most prominent citizens. Educated in the public schools, he started teaching at age 16 and throughout his life was interested in educational institutions, even though he left the teaching profession to become a successful merchant of agricultural machinery, farm implements and fertilizers.
Active in the affairs of his community and church, Mr. Brodbeck was elected to the U.S. Congress, where he served in that capacity until his death in 1937. He was noted for his liberal and good judgment and strong and dependable convictions. In 1916, Hood renamed what was then known as College Hall in honor of "The Honorable Andrew R. Brodbeck, L.L.D. and his family in recognition of his generosity in providing for its remodeling and enlargement." In addition, the road leading from Dill Avenue to Brodbeck Music Hall was named Brodbeck Drive.
Mr. Brodbeck gave generously of his time not only to Hood, but to other colleges affiliated with the Reformed Church (United Church of Christ), including Catawba College. He also was named to the board of Ursinus College, which conferred an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws on him.
Mr. and Mrs. Brodbeck had four children: a son, Winston, who died at an early age, and three daughters, Clair Brodbeck Young, and two who graduated from Hood, Estelle Brodbeck Young '99, and Viola Brodbeck Fleagle '08. The daughters were all musicians, which added to his interest in Hood's music program, housed in Brodbeck, and the establishment of music scholarships.
He died at age 76 on February 27, 1937. The large attendance at his funeral attested to the place he had made for himself in the community and in educational circles. President Emeritus Apple and President Stahr of Hood both took part in the service, and the flag on the Hood campus was lowered to half staff for two days as a symbol of respect.
Brodbeck Music Hall and Brodbeck Drive on the Hood campus, Brodbeck Music Hall at Catawba College, and Brodbeck Dormitory at Ursinus College stand today as permanent memorials to the interest, dedication and philanthropy of Andrew R. Brodbeck.

He rose to fame based on the vnyd-designate Zins that JoelPeterson made at Ravenswood in the early '80's. He eventually started his own label, but the bulk of his grapes continued to go to Ravenswood. He (probably) planted the RubyCabernet that he made a bit of under his own label.

On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
Who can argue with that? Who can refuse promoting those solid, non-sectarian beliefs?
Evidently the police in northern Idaho. Ben Wolfinger, the sheriff of Kootenai County, just decided not to renew his department's charter with a local Boy Scout troop. He had his reasons. How valid they are is another story.
He made his decision to refuse sponsorship for this national organization for one reason and one reason only. It wasn't money. It was that the Boy Scouts of America lifted its ban on gay members. According to Wolfinger, his Christian faith and reliance on biblical teachings led him to his decision. How unchristian of him. He chooses bigotry over charity.
Now sponsoring a worthwhile program like the Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts of America seems like a pretty nice thing to do. Generous and uncontroversial as well. Considering the benefits to the members, the kids, the parents and the volunteers, it's to be lauded. Unless you're some kind of right-wing religious zealot.
Is this community leader, a police officer sworn to uphold the law (and that means anti-discrimination and hate laws) withholding his support? He's hiding behind the religion wildcard. Is he really saying that he can't be any support to any group that promotes equality?
According to the US Scouts Organization, the BOY SCOUT LAW:
A Scout is:
- Trustworthy,
- Loyal,
- Helpful,
- Friendly,
- Courteous,
- Kind,
- Obedient,
- Cheerful,
- Thrifty,
- Brave,
- Clean,
- and Reverent.
I don't see anti-Gay in there. So what's the problem?
Unless the narrow-minded Sheriff sees something there that I don't, I suggest that he turn in his badge and refuse to take his pension on religious beliefs. The police help people of all colors, races, creeds, and orientations. Sheriff Wolfinger wishes to exempt himself from that on religious belief. If that's the case, let him go.
People around the country must stop this nonsense of selectively picking and choosing which religious interpretations they want just when it suits their bigotry. This is another one of those cases and sadly, it's a black eye for law enforcement both in Idaho and in the rest of the country.
If police want to benefit from an improved community recognition, cooperation and acceptance, if they want regular people to appreciate the fine job many of them do, then giving something back to communities is just such a move. Refusing aid, help and the backing of their departments just makes them look on par with the criminals they are hired to apprehend.

Blue Jeans Network celebrated its two-year anniversary this week with the launch of Blue Jeans 2.0, the first major refresh of its cloud-based meeting room service since the buzzed-about startup burst onto the scene in June 2011.
In addition to delivering a slew of interface and administrative enhancements, Blue Jeans 2.0 is a testament to the momentum Blue Jeans has gained in the market over the past two years, said Stu Aaron, Blue Jeans' chief commercial officer.
"It's really been a tremendous two years of growth for us," Aaron told CRN. "And mostly at the expense of the traditional videoconferencing incumbents like Cisco and Polycom. Not at their endpoint business, because we actually help that business, but their infrastructure business or their bridge or [multipoint control unit] MCU business."
[Related: Avaya Rolls Out Videoconferencing For IP Office 8.1]
The value proposition behind Blue Jeans' service, as Aaron puts it, is that it's "built from the cloud up," meaning it's consumed as a hosted service and allows users to host, schedule and manage their own videoconferences via a Web interface. The service is also interoperable, so it can work across different video and audio protocols, bridging the gap between systems such as Cisco TelePresence and Skype.
Aaron declined to provide specific sales figures, but described the past two years as "blockbuster" for Blue Jeans. In its quest to upend traditional hardware-based infrastructures, Blue Jeans estimates it eliminated the need for $100 million worth of MCU sales in the past year alone.
Aaron also said Blue Jeans today commands a significant piece of the overall videoconferencing services market, judging by the minutes its service has been used.
"When we entered the videoconferencing services market, it was sized at 200 million minutes a year as an annual run rate, of which we had zero," Aaron said. "I'm pleased to say that today we are at somewhere between a 60-million- and 70-million-minute-a-year run rate and growing daily, which puts us somewhere between a quarter and a third of the videoconferencing services market."
As Blue Jeans' business has grown, so has its channel. Aaron said the company now has somewhere between 60 and 70 global partners, which it breaks out into three categories: traditional A/V integration VARs that can wrap Blue Jeans' service around endpoint sales, managed services providers that work Blue Jeans into their broader services portfolios, and conferencing providers that present Blue Jeans as an audioconferencing alternative and which Blue Jeans describes as OEM-type relationships.
"We take the channel very seriously," Aaron said. "I know that some of our competitors have spread some FUD about us having a direct sales force and not being a channel company and that's really, I think, misrepresented."
Aaron noted that Blue Jeans has a dedicated, internal channel sales team that is compensated based on the business it drives through partners.
Brad Johnston, COO of Solutionz Conferencing, a 12-year-old solution provider and Blue Jeans partner based in Brentwood, Calif., said he considers Blue Jeans a trailblazer in the cloud-based video services space.
"In two years, Blue Jeans Network has been a 'market-maker' for cloud video services. They have set the bar relative to innovation, ease of use and customer experience," Johnston wrote in an email to CRN. "From a partner perspective, they are easy to do business with, responsive and aligned with their channels."

After several months and preview releases, Microsoft has finally lifted the curtain for the Windows Explorer 9 beta release. Internet Explorer 9 is Microsoft's attempt at not just catching up to the competition, but at actually surpassing them. Since enough sites will be focusing on just how many nanoseconds faster or slower the beta is compared to the competition, I'll talk a little about the new minimalist interface.

Evan Hinson and Caleb Willis scored touchdowns for the Wolves.
TAVARES – Host Tavares rode a big-play offense to a 31-15 non-district triumph over Deltona on Friday night.
"Big plays killed us," Deltona coach Allen Johnson said. "They had big plays on all of their scoring drives."
Evan Hinson and Caleb Willis scored touchdowns for the Wolves (0-5-1). Trailing 9-6 at halftime, Deltona appeared poised to take the lead early in the third quarter.
But it lost a fumble deep in Tavares' territory, and Tavares (3-3) scored off the turnover to build a 16-6 advantage.
"Fumbles have been a big problem for us," Johnson said. "That one was a huge momentum-changer. We drove the field and were ready to go in and score. It could have been a whole different game if we go in and score there."
Deltona hosts Seabreeze next week in a District 9-6A contest.
Bronson 30, Taylor 17
BRONSON – A big third quarter powered Bronson to a come-from-behind, non-district triumph over Taylor, 30-17 on Friday night.
The Wildcats (2-5) led 14-12 at halftime, but Bronson (5-2) scored two third-quarter touchdowns – one set up by a Taylor fumble -- to take the lead for good.
"We left some points on the field in the first half, and I thought that might come back and bite us," Taylor coach Antuarn Williams said. "And we didn't start the second half as good as I would have liked."
Matt Henry and Roderick Matthews scored touchdowns for the Wildcats, both on 2-yard runs. Freddy Galvan booted a 29-yard field goal and saw a 42-yard try bounce off the crossbar.
Taylor visits Wildwood in a critical District 8-A context next week.
Halifax Academy 42, Hernando Christian 13: Freshman quarterback Deryl Bush had 163 yards passing with two touchdowns and 40 yards rushing with three more scores to lead Halifax Academy (4-2) over Hernando Christian 42-13 on Friday.
Senior Gerald Smith had 75 yards receiving and a touchdown, and junior Sean Stephens added 25 yards receiving and a touchdown.
On defense, Quinton Green had nine tackles and Mackenzie Davis had three tackles and forced and recovered a fumble.
The Knights improve play again 6 p.m. next Friday at Derbyshire Park in its Homecoming game.
Seminole 28, University 7: University lost 28-7 to Sanford Seminole.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- Police say one of the first clues the Nike shoes might be fake was the logo of Michael Jordan. The former NBA star had too many fingers, an officer wrote in his report.
WSB-TV reports (http://bit.ly/yKtkCA) that the image and other tips led Gwinnett County, Ga., police to seize 78 pairs of Nike sneakers that authorities contend are counterfeit.
Police say they're questioning two South Carolina women they say were traveling with the shoes when police stopped their Pontiac Grand Prix on Saturday on Interstate 85 northeast of Atlanta.
Aside from Michael Jordan's six fingers, investigators said the serial numbers on the shoes' tongue did not match the numbers on the box. Officers said they could peel the Nike logos right off what appeared to be Nike Air Jordans.
Police say counterfeit goods being transported on I-85 is a growing trend. The hot items are sneakers and designer bags, authorities said.

Heart Transplant Success Improving, Patients Living Longer
Many patients are living 20 years or more after transplantation
Article ID: 612887
Released: 27-Jan-2014 1:00 PM EST
Source Newsroom: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
Available for logged-in reporters only
Annals of Thoracic Surgery, February 2014
Newswise — Chicago – Heart transplantation continues to be the "gold standard" treatment for end-stage heart failure, and a large number of patients now live 20 years or more after surgery, according to a study in the February 2014 issue of The Annals of Thoracic Surgery.
Hector Rodriguez Cetina Biefer, MD and Markus J. Wilhelm, MD, from the University Hospital Zurich in Switzerland, led a research team that examined long-term outcomes in 133 patients from their institution who underwent heart transplantation from 1985 to 1991.
Among those patients, 74 (55.6%) survived at least 20 years post-transplantation. The average age at transplant for the 20-year survivors was 43.6 years.
Major causes of death in non-survivors were graft rejection (21%), malignancy (21%), cardiac allograft vasculopathy (an accelerated form of coronary artery disease; 14.5%), and infections (14.5%).
"A remarkable number of patients survived 20 years or more following heart transplantation, confirming the procedure as the 'gold standard' for end-stage heart failure, at least for the time being," said Dr. Wilhelm. "With continued improvements in immunosuppressive management in the coming years, we expect to see transplant patients living longer, healthier lives. It is still uncertain if mechanical circulatory support devices will be able to compete with heart transplantation in the future."
Heart Transplantation Changed the Course of Cardiac CareIn an invited commentary in the same issue of The Annals, James Kirklin, MD, from the University of Alabama in Birmingham, discussed the success of heart transplantation as a treatment for end-stage heart disease and the changes the procedure brought to cardiac care.
"This study underscores the excellent long-term survival that can be achieved, even among patients who received a transplant in the early 1990s," said Dr. Kirklin. "The fact that over half of patients were alive 20 years later should provide hope and the expectation that a new heart for most patients really is a 'new lease on life.' If patients take care of themselves, they can expect to have many years of good quality of life."
He added that heart transplantation set the stage for other complex cardiac surgery endeavors. "Despite the limited number of patients who have received a transplant for end-stage heart disease, this procedure and the multifaceted discipline it introduced have had far-reaching effects on the field of cardiac surgery," said Dr. Kirklin.

Founded in 1964, The Society of Thoracic Surgeons is a not-for-profit organization representing more than 6,800 cardiothoracic surgeons, researchers, and allied health care professionals worldwide who are dedicated to ensuring the best possible outcomes for surgeries of the heart, lung, and esophagus, as well as other surgical procedures within the chest. The Society's mission is to enhance the ability of cardiothoracic surgeons to provide the highest quality patient care through education, research, and advocacy.

Way back through the mists of time -- 1990 to be precise -- fans of the relatively new RTS genre were treated to what is sometimes retroactively considered to be one of the world's first MOBAs, Herzog Zwei. Players commanded a flying, transforming mech that could both fight and airlift units to different parts of the battlefield. Despite its later cult status, the title didn't perform very well in North America, though it was slightly more successful in Europe, but not enough to stop it from becoming an evolutionary dead end. Until now, that is.
AirMech is very much the child of Herzog Zwei, and its creator has cited the '90s RTS as the main inspiration for this free-to-play mech-focussed MOBA. This spiritual successor is somewhat more welcoming than its predecessor, and is not as micromanagement intensive; It's very much a product of the times, yet it still captures what made the cult classic so compelling over 20 years ago.... read more

At the Open, WON Bass accused Winnetka, Calif. pro Mike Hart of cheating and banned him for life from all WON Bass competition. If true, the scandal marks the first time in several years that an angler at such a high level of competition was accused of cheating.
Paul Tormanen was arrested in 2005 at the Red River Bassmaster Central Open and charged with felony contest fraud. He later pleaded guilty to the charges, admitted he tied fish to stumps, and was sentenced to 2 years probation and ordered to pay fines and court costs totaling $588.50. Tormanen was also ordered to pay $3,000 in restitution to BASS and perform 120 hours of community service through an approved wildlife and fisheries organization. In 2004, Tony Christian was DQd from consecutive FLW Tour events. FLW Outdoors failed to provide specifics about the consecutive DQs, other than to cite the rules under which Christian was DQd, but the lack of information from the league fueled rampant public speculation that cheating might have been involved.
The fact that a cheating scandal occurred at the U.S. Open is nonetheless shocking, given the high-profile nature of the event and the close-knit relationships shared by western pros. The effects continue to ripple through the sport.Read more at http://www.bassfan.com/news_article.asp?ID=3679

2006 Sonic 95L vs. 2003 Hypersonic 105L
I currently have a 2003 Hypersonic 105L (Dram) and I'm thinking of replacing it this year with the 2006 Sonic 95.
Can anyone tell me what the major differences are?
I'm 150lbs, 6', and will be using it with a 6.3 and a 7.6 in gusty and choppy conditions.

RE: 2006 Sonic 95L vs. 2003 Hypersonic 105L
I owned a 2003 HS105 DRAM and changed it for an HS111DRAM in 2004 and a S95 2006 after that, so I could have some answers. Only, I am 185, 6'3".
The Hypersonic is a very, very fast board with an ugly ride. I love speed but can't have fun on the HS, so I first tried to tame it going to the newer version 111, after that I gave up and changed to a classic design. Nevertheless, I think that in choppy and gusty conditions the ability of HS boards to eat up all the chop and fly through gusts is unsurpassed.
S95 is a classic design. It is fin sensitive, as opposed to the HS that even worked on those odd squared Drake '03 designs. It likes to fly on a beam reach, as opposed to the HS that only wants to go either upwind or very broad and, if one wants to keep that about 90 degrees angle, he has to force it. S95 can be de-powered when maxed out at full speed, taking advantage of reduced sail angle of attack and lesser fin drag to push even more upwind or to stand up and gain speed in gusts if needed, while the HS requires a dedicated, no-exception, fully totally power on ride with lots of continuous pressure on the board and lots of leg fatigue. The S95 JIBES, not as smoothly as my older narrower RRD boards but it jibes nicely, while the HS... well, you know it. It will be perfect with 6,3 and will still be plenty useable but not perfect with 7,6, while IMvvvHO the HS was in its sweet spot with 7,5. At your weight, I doubt you will see big differences in early planing; in fact the HS developes a lot of lift once at speed, but is rather sticky; while the 95 is slippery and needs less input to start up planing. I mean that a big guy could easily pump the HS up to a plane in lesser wind than a S95, but I doubt that a light guy could exert enough pressure to see a big difference.
In the end, if I was in your shoes, I would do that change. Only, please get yourself a good 30 fin for the 6,3 and a good 34 fin for the 7,6. Deboichet SL2s work greatly and the moulded construction will keep up for years, as opposed to machined fins.

RE: 2006 Sonic 95L vs. 2003 Hypersonic 105L
Is there a particular reason that you are making the enormous jump from a 77 cm wide board "Course-Race" to a 59 cm wide "down-wind slalom" board?
These two boards are about as far apart as two boards with just 10 liters in volume difference can be. You question "can anyone tell the difference" sounds as if you REALLY are looking for racy slightly smaller board.
If the assumption above is correct then the iSonic 105 would probably be a better fit. It sails a lot smaller than the HS, and is much more manouverable. Your sails also seem to be much closer to the sweet spot of the iS 105 (except of course if you major significantly on the 6.3).

RE: 2006 Sonic 95L vs. 2003 Hypersonic 105L
I'm looking for a change. I don't want another board like the Hypersonic. Not that I didn't absolutly enjoy it, but I'd like to get a more classic style Slalom board. I feel the hyper even though it's 105L is just too big for me, it feels like a small formula board. I was in Margarita for a couple months this past spring and had the chance to try an old style Pro-Tech WorldCup Race board, and I loved it so much. The hyper's great for all around wide range of conditoins and you're garanteed to go fast and have fun, but what I want now is something that's more dedicated and no comprimise. Plus, I've always wanted a sonic. The reason I bought the hyper in the first place was because I found one locally at a very good price.
So I guess my question here isn't should I switch to the Sonic 95L, but if I did what major advantages or disadvantages would I see.
Keep in mind, another factor is price. I major reason I'm considering the Sonic is because a local store has one in stock and at a good price. If I were to get a new iSonic, I'd have to spend an extra $400 or more...and I'm a student so money's tight.

RE: 2006 Sonic 95L vs. 2003 Hypersonic 105L
Here is what I'm using since 4 years (constant wind range) :
1) 7-9 knots : NP RX2 10.6 sail with Select Team Zero 54 cm fin
2) 10-12 knots : same sail as above with a race/slalom Fin's 40 cm fin
3) 10-13 knots : NP RS2 8.2 sail with same fin as above
4) 13-15 knots : same sail as above and Select Elite S03 32 cm hard fin
5) 15-17 knots : NP RS1 6.6 sail with same fin as above
6) 18-20 knots : same sail as above and Deboichet speed slalom 26 cm fin
7) 20-25 knots : 5.4 sail with same fin as above.
As you can see from above, the HS is all about its huge usage range. No other hull can achieve that range. The trick is to use very small fins when overpowered with a given sail. Even with tiny fins can I go upwind like crazy, unlike all the other boards that I have or have tried so far and still be in total control. And yes, this is a race/slalom board that requires some pretty high technical skills to be able to enjoy it up to 100%.
The only negative that I've found so far with my HS105 is that in high swell > 1 m high, it does get really scary to fly it over big chop and wind > 18 knots. I'm honest to say I much prefer to step down to a narrower board (Carve 111 or Kombat 86) to enjoy blasting in such B&J conditions.
So, if you get really choppy conditions even with your largest sail, I presume it will feel much less "mini-formula"-like on a narrower board such as a Sonic 95. However, this is a pure slalom shape that requires some high skills to be able to enjoy it up to its full potential (racing jibes; full cambered sails, sailing in overpowered state pedal-to-the-metal all the time, narrow usage range windows, etc...). This is no easy laid back freeride or freewave board. If you can demo it before buying, go for it : you will see it surely has nothing in common with your actual HS105.
Cheers !

RE: 2006 Sonic 95L vs. 2003 Hypersonic 105L
With Jean-Marc's comments above concerning slalom boards, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to respond with some of my thoughts. I guess that the thought that one needs to follow this strict path with slalom boards, and ultimately deal with a bunch of hardcore and difficult parameters is quite arguable.
Actually, if the rockerline is sweet, regardless of the hard rail lines, I find slalom boards can be quite maneuverable and forgiving, and still wickedly fast. Much of performance, as Jean-Marc correctly pointed out above is subject to proper fin use. Also, in my experience, I've found that varied sail combinations can create similar synergies. The idea that one must use 4 camber slalom race sails to gain performance is a misnomer. Of course, competitive pro level results are usually grounded in full cambered race sails, yet that doesn't mean that very respectable speed and control can't be achieved with much simpler well designed camless sails. So much of sailing performance is grounded in a sailor's experience, control and style. Life isn't nearly as always as difficult as some might want you to believe.
A fast slalom rocker through a minefield environment can be demanding, but so much of it is understanding how power sailing can level the playing field. That's the real difference in my mind. No hard criticisms, just a different opinion about the value and fun of slalom board performance, even in a free sailing environment.

RE: 2006 Sonic 95L vs. 2003 Hypersonic 105L
After reading JM's and steveC's comments, I like to add this.
No, the Sonic 95 definitely will never feel "mini-formula" like. And, IMHO, and after having sailed both, it will ask much less skills and input to enjoy when compared to the HS105. By sure it eases the rider to "pedal-to-the-metal" sailing, but can do without it much better and easier than the HS105. Yes, it has a narrower usage window when compared to the HS; let's say it works very nicely with a 7.5 (but probably a wider iS does it better), is everything one can ask for with 6.5 and 6.0 and probably is still very useable with a 5.5: no more than that...
The S95 is just an easy sweet board, manouvrable and forgiving and wickedly fast, that is a joy to use with any good speed oriented sail. Nevertheless, IMHO again, the best and easiest way to enjoy its performances is to complete it with full on, cambered, top of the line slalom sails. I see really no reason to do without a rigid leading edge, a super stable profile and a correctly twisting leech. I'd even say that with full on slalom equipment... "life isn't nearly as always as difficult as some might want you to believe".

RE: 2006 Sonic 95L vs. 2003 Hypersonic 105L
Thanks for all the opinions guys! There are a lot of good points made. I'm probably going to get the S95 and I'm sure it'll be a great board, especially if I do a few races. Right now I'm using a WindWing Hammer 7.6, so not a full on race sail but I'm very impressed with it's speed and performance in overpowering conditions. I'll be getting a new 6.5, but I'm not sure if I'll go with another windwing or try to find a true full cam race sail, depends what kind of deal I can find.

Hi Speedchaser,
Regarding Windwing sails, Bill Hansen is no longer associated with Windwing, so they lack a sail designer to keep things alive. I was a committed Windwing sailor for over 20 years, and I have always appreciated Hansen's awesome talent and noteworthy sail designs.
You should be aware that Bill Hansen has started a new company. It is called Hansen Sails, and you can check out what's going on at the following website:
Hansen has very recently developed a new concept in leach design with his recently released HCL Technology. It's a very novel design approach that has the strong potential to affect changes in sail design across the industry. Hansen Sails in the process of applying for a patent right now. Despite the newness of the concept, this new technology is available in a number of sail lines right now. In fact, Hansen Sails is taking orders right now. I'm currently in the process of ordering a new wave sail right now. I think you find everything very interesting.

RE: 2006 Sonic 95L vs. 2003 Hypersonic 105L
personally I chose Maui Sails TR-2 sails. I think they are somehow like the S95: no revolutions, just refined, tried and tested performance. Indeed they work. The 9 batten frame provides total stability, despite a "soft" feeling; one just has not to worry about their phisical weight, I can assure that once on the water the weight disappears and is replaced by a feel of well balanced rig. Only, they require proper masts (Maui Sails, '05 and earlier Gaastra, maybe some Fiberspar) because of a specific luff curve.

A judge hearing additional testimony in the continuing Cape Coral fire assessment bond validation proceeding was told again Wednesday that the city's methodology is arbitrary.
Talan Corporation attorney Mark Lawson called into question the way the city determined the fire assessment amounts since the methodology uses data from the county appraiser's web site.
The interveners - those opposed to the proposed fee - also said the methodology was not transparent and is fraught with errors, something the city council knew when it passed an ordinance amendment Monday to clear up those errors.
Lawson's concerns were admitted in a fourth and separate day of testimony although the judge, Keith Kyle, was distressed by the late entry of another defendant after allowing three previous days of testimony to residents opposed to the new tax.
"Why didn't Talan step forward before? What's to say in three weeks another person wants to give evidence?" Kyle asked. "This gets finished today."
Kyle warned that Lawson could speak, provided he did not bring up new testimony.
Kyle also didn't regard the city council decision on Monday to amend its "tier 2 methodology" after the city determined 114 parcels had been undervalued as reason as an admission.
Lawson called the method of assessment "structurally and facially arbitrary," and expressed concern regarding due process.
Using a demonstrative aid given to all parties, Lawson said the Cape Coral methodology was an attempt to mimic the form and format, but not the substance, of the term "improvement value."
He also questioned the city's use of data from the county appraiser's web site.
Lawson said Cape Coral's ordinances and resolutions are concerning the few "devoid of any process on how to determine the building cost value and extra features which makes up the structural value, abdicating it to the property appraiser."
"Cape Coral has burdened an independent public official with a responsibility beyond his pale. As much as the property appraiser may be competent and held in high esteem, Cape Coral's methodology is now subjected to the individual will or judgment that will drive the admittedly imprecise concept of structure value solely upon his discretion," Lawson said.
As for being "facially arbitrary," Lawson argued the $5,000 increments per equivalent billing unit in the Tier 2 assessment is too substantial. He argued that someone with a structure value of $165,999 would pay the same as someone with a $169,999 value, since both would be rounded down to $165,000.
"One owner would receive a $999 adjustment while the other would receive a $4,999 adjustment, or five times the difference," Lawson argued. "It unnecessarily creates winners and losers for no clear reason to all parcels in the city."
Lawson said the other cities that use the "ready to serve" methodology Cape Coral is trying to use incorporate $1,000 increments, just as how millage rates are set.
"Without any metric that removes the potential of capricious, unreasonable and unsupported action, the city has adopted a program on its face that begs to be struck down as arbitrary," Lawson said.
Camilla Augustine testified for Talan as an expert in tax and assessment roll analysis. She said she saw nearly thousands of discrepancies with the fire rolls as compared to the appraiser's, nearly 80 percent of which were undervalued.
BryantMillerOlive, which is representing the city, said errors can be made, even by herself.
James Sherron testified that data on values of land can change on a daily basis, but that the property appraiser's office does not handle fire assessments.
Mike Burton of Burton & Associates testified again on behalf of the city, saying his firm gave its best attempt at making sure the data was as accurate as possible.
He was questioned heavily on why he chose to use $5,000 increments in his EBUs.
"The $1,000 rate is associated with a mil. Such ranges for rates are common," Burton said. "It's simple and transparent."
Former Cape councilman Bill Deile, who opposes the assessment, challenged the transparency claim, saying he had to call the appraiser's office to find out how to get the structural value and had to use three extra keystrokes.
All parties were told by the judge they have until Wednesday to submit proposed final judgments before he makes a decision on validating the bond in question, which could come after the new year.
The bond is to be paid back from the new tax and the city chose to go to court ahead of time rather than levy the assessment and then have it challenged.
"The judge has a lot of latitude. It could be two weeks, he could wait until the start of the year if he wanted to," Morris said. "The main issue is they knew they had some problems and did that resolution Monday night. If they go by the original resolution, I think they lose. Why fix a problem unless you have serious problems?"
"The judge bent over backwards to get everyone's viewpoint. There's plenty of opportunity to deny the assessment and to tell them to do it right," Deile said. "Ten-thousand errors seems to be a significant number and other anomalies and the structure leads to another ad valorem tax and it is not transparent

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson fined for criticising officials
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been fined £12,000 by the FA for criticising a match official.
Last Updated: 08/02/13 3:50pm
The Red Devils boss was furious after his side conceded a late equaliser at Tottenham in January - insisting the visitors should have been awarded a penalty for Steven Caulker's trip on Wayne Rooney.
Referee's assistant Simon Beck was the subject of the ire of the Scot, who said in the wake of the 1-1 draw: "It was a clear decision. And he [Beck] was 10, maybe 12 yards away from the incident and he doesn't give it. And yet he gave everything else."
"There was no way we were going to get a decision from [Beck].
"We remember him well from his time at the Chelsea game when Didier Drogba was three yards offside and he gave onside. I think he had a shocking game today, and I'm disappointed in his performance, I really am.
"I think he has had a bad game, and we never got anything from that side of the pitch. We got a bad break."
The FA charged Ferguson with a breach of rule E3, and have subsequently found him guilty at a private hearing despite his pleas to the contrary.
The news of the fine came through after Ferguson criticised England Under-21 coach Stuart Pearce for disclosing that Phil Jones was suffering from shingles.
Jones withdrew from the Under-21 friendly with Sweden on Tuesday which prompted Pearce to reveal the nature of the 20-year-old former Blackburn player's injury.
However, the problem is evidently not as bad as first feared as Ferguson has named Jones, who can play in defence or midfield, in his squad to face Everton in the Premier League on Sunday.
And Ferguson is not happy with the way the situation has been handled.
"What about doctor confidentiality?" said the United boss."Jones is fine despite what Stuart Pearce says and we're very disappointed with the FA for that."

Im using xfce 4.10 on arch linux on an asus zenbook; this 11 inch device has a full HD 1920x1080 resolution, making fonts etc very small per default.
Especially trying to resize windows (with the touchpad!!) is very uncomfortable: you point to the edge, wait for the resize-angle to appear, then double click and draw open; but the active region for resizing is so small that pointing to it and not losing it through double tapping with the touchpad is a real pain.
How can I increase the active area for resize operations?
Use a theme with wider window borders. Some themes come with 1 pixel wide borders, which maybe looks good but is not very usable.
If you have "Window Buttons" on one of your Xfce panels, you can right-click on the one for the app that you wish to resize and select Resize from the menu that pops up. Assuming that said window isn't maximized, of course - if so, you'll have to Unmaximize it from that menu first.
Or - assuming that the window that you wish to resize is the one that is "in focus," just hit Alt-Space and select Resize from the menu that pops up. Most things that can be done with a mouse (or mousepad) can also be done via keyboard - ofttimes, easier.
Hope this helps,

MountainDewManiac, Andrzejr: thanks for your suggestions!
I really love the ALT+Space solution, this is actually very quick and elegant, with "r" for "Resize" it doesn't even need any mouse action except for the actual resizing, its perfect!
Thanks again
Glad I was able to help. The suggestion to pick a theme with thicker elements seemed like a good one, but with only an 11" screen, I thought you might not wish to make the usable area any smaller than you have to.
It might be that I tend to think of the keyboard to do things because when I first saw a computer "in person" in 1981 (a Commodore Pet 2001), there was no mouse attached, when I got my first computer a couple of years later, there was also no mouse attached, and when I got my first laptop (far more recently but still some years ago), I found mousepads to often be more trouble than help and am thankful for the switch that allows me to disable mine at will.
I'm also glad to see that you added a [Solved] to your thread title. That might help others who search for a solution to the same issue in the future. I wish everyone that found a solution to their problems would do the same thing, but I suppose I ought to be glad that most people at least don't simply abandon a thread without reporting success when they solve their issue.

You've got to remember that all pure breed dogs at one time were a mixture of different breeds to perfect the standard. Take the American breed, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever - It's a Newfoundsland and Lab mix in its ancestory... Thru careful breeding we now have the standard Chessie today.
Some mixes are accidents - like my Shadow - Lab/Boxer - thrown away with his sister by time he was 5 wks old. Others are planned to perfect a new breed for the future. Just do some research and read about the different breeds and their backgrounds... They were "mutts" at one time too... How do you think some of these breeds came to be? They were created by man trying to figure out what they wanted for a dog.

Andre Villas-Boas believes he is entitled to some degree of satisfaction for helping set Chelsea on the way to Champions League glory, but is now fully focused on transforming Tottenham into genuine title contenders.
The 34-year-old was sacked just eight months into his Stamford Bridge 'project' by Blues owner Roman Abramovich in March, with the team outside the top four of the Barclays Premier League. Under the guidance of Roberto Di Matteo, Chelsea went on to win both the FA Cup and then becomes kings of Europe following a dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Bayern Munich.
Villas-Boas insists there were some positives from his short tenure, and is determined to learn more at Spurs after taking over from Harry Redknapp. Speaking at Spurs' new multi-million pound training venue at Enfield, he said: "For Chelsea to have won the FA Cup and the Champions League, it means we were still present in those competitions at that time [of sacking]."
