Just as you can use different transports when creating RPC clients and servers, you can associate different "flavors" of authentication with RPC clients. The authentication subsystem of RPC is open ended. So, RPC can support many flavors of authentication. RPC Protocol and Language Specification further defines the authentication protocols.
Oracle RPC currently supports the authentication flavors shown in the following table.
When a caller creates a new RPC client handle as in:
clnt = clnt_create(host, prognum, versnum, nettype);
the appropriate client-creation routine sets the associated authentication handle to:
clnt->cl_auth = authnone_create();
If you create a new instance of authentication, you must destroy it with auth_destroy(clnt->cl_auth). This destruction conserves memory.
On the server side, the RPC package passes a request that has an arbitrary authentication style associated with it to the service-dispatch routine. The request handle passed to a service-dispatch routine contains the structure rq_cred. This structure is opaque, except for one field: the flavor of the authentication credentials.
/* * Authentication data */ struct opaque_auth { enum_t oa_flavor; /* style of credentials */ caddr_t oa_base; /* address of more auth stuff */ u_int oa_length; /* not to exceed MAX_AUTH_BYTES */ };
The RPC package guarantees the following structural requirements to the service-dispatch routine:
The rq_cred field in the svc_req structure is well formed. You can check rq_cred.oa_flavor to get the flavor of authentication. You can also check the other fields of rq_cred if RPC does not support the flavor.
The rq_clntcred field that is passed to service procedures is either NULL or points to a well-formed structure that corresponds to a supported flavor of authentication credential. No authentication data exists for the AUTH_NONE flavor. rq_clntcred can be cast only as a pointer to an authsys_parms, short_hand_verf, authkerb_cred, or authdes_cred structure.
The client can use AUTH_SYS style authentication (called AUTH_UNIX in previous releases) by setting clnt->cl_auth after creating the RPC client handle:
clnt->cl_auth = authsys_create_default();
This setting causes each RPC call associated with clnt to carry with it the following credentials-authentication structure shown in the following example.Example 56 AUTH_SYS Credential Structure
/* * AUTH_SYS flavor credentials. */ struct authsys_parms { u_long aup_time; /* credentials creation time */ char *aup_machname; /* client's host name */ uid_t aup_uid; /* client's effective uid */ gid_t aup_gid; /* client's current group id */ u_int aup_len; /* element length of aup_gids*/ gid_t *aup_gids; /* array of groups user is in */ };
rpc.broadcast defaults to AUTH_SYS authentication.
The following example shows a server, with procedure RUSERPROC_1(), that returns the number of users on the network. As an example of authentication, the server checks AUTH_SYS credentials and does not service requests from callers with a uid of 16.Example 57 Authentication Server
nuser(rqstp, transp) struct svc_req *rqstp; SVCXPRT *transp; { struct authsys_parms *sys_cred; uid_t uid; unsigned int nusers; /* NULLPROC should never be authenticated */ if (rqstp->rq_proc == NULLPROC) { if (!svc_sendreply( transp, xdr_void, (caddr_t) NULL)) fprintf(stderr, "can't reply to RPC call\n"); return; } /* now get the uid */ switch(rqstp->rq_cred.oa_flavor) { case AUTH_SYS: sys_cred = (struct authsys_parms *) rqstp->rq_clntcred; uid = sys_cred->aup_uid; break; default: svcerr_weakauth(transp); return; } switch(rqstp->rq_proc) { case RUSERSPROC_1: /* make sure caller is allowed to call this proc */ if (uid == 16) { svcerr_systemerr(transp); return; } /* * Code here to compute the number of users and assign * it to the variable nusers */ if (!svc_sendreply( transp, xdr_u_int, &nusers)) fprintf(stderr, "can't reply to RPC call\n"); return; default: svcerr_noproc(transp); return; } }
Note the following points about the example:
The authentication parameters associated with the NULLPROC (procedure number zero) are usually not checked.
The server calls svcerr_weakauth() if the authentication parameter's flavor is too weak. In this case, there is no way to get the list of authentication flavors the server requires.
The service protocol should return status for access denied. In the examples, the protocol instead calls the service primitive svcerr_systemerr().
The last point underscores the relation between the RPC authentication package and the services: RPC deals only with authentication and not with an individual service's access control. The services must establish access-control policies and reflect these policies as return statuses in their protocols.
Use AUTH_DES authentication for programs that require more security than AUTH_SYS provides. AUTH_SYS authentication is easy to defeat. For example, instead of using authsys_create_default(), a program can call authsys_create() and change the RPC authentication handle to give itself any desired user ID and host name.
AUTH_DES authentication requires keyserv() daemons to be running on both the server and client hosts. The NIS naming service must also be running. Users on these hosts need public/secret key pairs assigned by the network administrator in the publickey() database. The users must also have decrypted their secret keys with the keylogin() command. This decryption is normally done by login() unless the login password and secure-RPC password differ.
To use AUTH_DES authentication, a client must set its authentication handle appropriately, as shown in the following example.
cl->cl_auth = authdes_seccreate(servername, 60, server, (char *)NULL);
The first argument is the network name or "net name" of the owner of the server process. Server processes are usually root processes, and you can get their net names with the following call:
char servername[MAXNETNAMELEN]; host2netname(servername, server, (char *)NULL);
servername points to the receiving string and server is the name of the host the server process is running on. If the server process was run by a non-root user, use the call user2netname() as follows:
char servername[MAXNETNAMELEN]; user2netname(servername, serveruid(), (char *)NULL);
serveruid() is the user ID of the server process. The last argument of both functions is the name of the domain that contains the server. NULL means "use the local domain name".
The second argument of authdes_seccreate() is the lifetime (known also as the "window") of the client's credential. In this example, a credential expires 60 seconds after the client makes an RPC call. If a program tries to reuse the credential, the server RPC subsystem recognizes that the credential has expired and does not service the request carrying the expired credential. If any program tries to reuse a credential within its lifetime, the process is rejected, because the server RPC subsystem saves credentials it has seen in the near past and does not serve duplicates.
The third argument of authdes_seccreate() is the name of the timehost used to synchronize clocks. AUTH_DES authentication requires that server and client agree on the time. Example 57, Authentication Server specifies synchronization with the server. A (char *)NULL says not to synchronize. Use this syntax only when you are sure that the client and server are already synchronized.
The fourth argument of authdes_seccreate() points to a DES encryption key to encrypt timestamps and data. If this argument is (char *)NULL, as it is in Example 57, Authentication Server, a random key is chosen. The ah_key field of the authentication handle contains the key.
The server side is simpler than the client. The following example shows the server in Example 57, Authentication Server changed to use AUTH_DES.Example 58 AUTH_DES Server
#include <rpc/rpc.h> ... nuser(rqstp, transp) struct svc_req *rqstp; SVCXPRT *transp; { struct authdes_cred *des_cred; uid_t uid; gid_t gid; int gidlen; gid_t gidlist[10]; /* NULLPROC should never be authenticated */ if (rqstp->rq_proc == NULLPROC) { /* same as before */ } /* now get the uid */ switch(rqstp->rq_cred.oa_flavor) { case AUTH_DES: des_cred = (struct authdes_cred *) rqstp->rq_clntcred; if (! netname2user( des_cred->adc_fullname.name, &uid, &gid, &gidlen, gidlist)) { fprintf(stderr, "unknown user: %s\n", des_cred->adc_fullname.name); svcerr_systemerr(transp); return; } break; default: svcerr_weakauth(transp); return; } /* The rest is the same as before */
The routine netname2user() converts a network name, or "net name" of a user, to a local system ID. It also supplies group IDs, which are not used in this example.
Recent releases of the Oracle Solaris OS include support for most client-side features of Kerberos 5 except klogin. AUTH_KERB is conceptually similar to AUTH_DES. The essential difference is that DES passes a network name and a DES-encrypted session key, while Kerberos passes the encrypted service ticket. This section describes other factors that affect implementation and interoperability.
Kerberos uses the concept of a time window in which its credentials are valid. It does not place restrictions on the clocks of the client or server. Specifically, the window is passed as an argument to authkerb_seccreate(). The window does not change. If a timehost is specified as an argument, the client side gets the time from the timehost and alters its timestamp by the difference in time. Various methods of time synchronization are available. See the kerberos_rpc man page for more information.
Kerberos users are identified by a primary name, instance, and realm. The RPC authentication code ignores the realm and instance, while the Kerberos library code does not. The assumption is that user names are the same between client and server. This enables a server to translate a primary name into user identification information. Two forms of well-known names are used (omitting the realm):
root.host represents a privileged user on client host.
user.ignored represents the user whose user name is user. The instance is ignored.
Kerberos uses cipher block chaining (CBC) mode when sending a full name credential, one that includes the ticket and window, and electronic code book (ECB) mode otherwise. CBC and ECB are two methods of DES encryption. The session key is used as the initial input vector for CBC mode. The following notation means that XDR is used on object as a type.
The length in the next code section is the size, in bytes of the credential or verifier, rounded up to 4-byte units. The full name credential and verifier are obtained as follows:
xdr_long(timestamp.seconds) xdr_long(timestamp.useconds) xdr_long(window) xdr_long(window - 1)
After encryption with CBC with input vector equal to the session key, the output is two DES cipher blocks:
CB0 CB1.low CB1.high
xdr_long(AUTH_KERB) xdr_long(length) xdr_enum(AKN_FULLNAME) xdr_bytes(ticket) xdr_opaque(CB1.high)
xdr_long(AUTH_KERB) xdr_long(length) xdr_opaque(CB0) xdr_opaque(CB1.low)
xdr_long(timestamp.seconds) xdr_long(timestamp.useconds)
The nickname is encrypted with ECB to obtain ECB0, and the credential is:
xdr_long(AUTH_KERB) xdr_long(length) xdr_enum(AKN_NICKNAME) xdr_opaque(akc_nickname)
xdr_long(AUTH_KERB) xdr_long(length) xdr_opaque(ECB0) xdr_opaque(0)

Each server instance has its own directory, called instance_dir in this document. The instance_dir/config directory contains configuration files for the Web Server components. The exact number and names of the configuration files depend on the components that have been enabled or loaded into the server. For the default location of the instance_dir, see Default Paths and File Names.
These files, as well as some other configuration files not included in the config directory, are described in the following sections:
The server.xml file contains most of the server configuration. A schema file, sun-web-server_7_0.xsd, validates its format and content. For more information about sun-web-server_7_0.xsd and the various elements of server.xml, see Chapter 2, Syntax and Use of server.xml and Chapter 3, Elements in server.xml.
The magnus.conf file contains the NSAPI plug-in initialization directives and settings that control the way NSAPI plug-ins are run. For more information about magnus.conf, see Chapter 4, Syntax and Use of magnus.conf and Chapter 5, Predefined SAFs in magnus.conf.
The obj.conf file contains directives for HTTP request processing. For more information about obj.conf, see Chapter 6, Syntax and Use of obj.conf and Chapter 7, Predefined SAFs and Filters in obj.conf.
The mime.types file maps file extensions to MIME types to enable the server to determine the content type of a requested resource. For example, requests for resources with .html extensions indicate that the client is requesting an HTML file, while requests for resources with .gif extensions indicate that the client is requesting an image file in GIF format. For more information about mime.types, see Chapter 8, MIME Types.
The Access Control List (ACL) files contain lists that define who can access resources stored on your Web Server. By default, Web Server uses one ACL file. You can create multiple ACL files and reference them in the obj.conf and server.xml files. For more information about ACL files, see Chapter 9, ACL Files.
Other configuration files for administration and for applications include the certmap.conf, sun-web.xml, login.conf, server.policy, and default-web.xml. For more information on these files, see Chapter 10, Other Server Configuration Files.

Dear Abby: I have been separated for three years and am now going through a divorce. I have started a new relationship, and, for the first time, I know what being in love feels like.
"Mason" is a remarkable man with many great qualities. However, when we go to my friends" parties, they often make comments and belittle him because he didn"t graduate from college. Mason is a security guard. It doesn"t bother me, but I feel bad when people ask him why he didn"t become a police officer "instead."
My friends are all professionals who married other professionals. They don"t realize that they can sometimes be snobs. I don"t know how to approach this subject without getting into an awkward confrontation. Mason"s feelings were hurt before by a prior girlfriend whose family and friends thought he was a loser because he"s a security guard.
I love him and want this to work. Why do I let other people"s comments affect me? And how can I approach them about this matter? — Unhappy in New York
Dear Unhappy: You may be affected because your friends are unable to see the wonderful qualities in Mason that you do. Please understand that they may feel they are trying to look out for your best interests after what has to be a traumatic disappointment — the long, depressing slog through your divorce. If your friends persist in making comments to Mason about his job, you should ask them to please stop because they are making both of you uncomfortable.
However, I would be remiss if I didn"t caution you: After someone has experienced a divorce, it is not unusual to experience a rush of adrenaline — a kind of "high" — during the next relationship. While it seems idyllic, the problem is that it usually doesn"t last, which is why rebound relationships often don"t work out. This is not to imply that there is anything wrong with Mason, only that you would be wise to take your time before rushing into another marriage.
Dear Abby: I want to be at home on Christmas! Am I so bad? Every year, my mother-in-law pushes us to be at her house on Christmas. My husband and I have even discussed this issue with a marriage counselor. Together, we agreed to always be in our home on Christmas Day. I am happy to have my in-laws over, but not bothered if they choose not to come.
My husband talked to his mother, and everything was worked out last year. However, when I told him she was starting up again, he got mad at ME! It makes me sad that he is more worried about pacifying his mother than making memories with me.
I want to fix dinner and do special things in my home because I didn"t have that when I was a child. Am I so terrible to want that? She had her time. Now I want MY time. — Wants My Turn in North Carolina
Dear Wants Your Turn: Your husband got mad at you because he has been on the receiving end of heavy pressure from his mother. She"s alive and kicking, so in her mind her "time" is not yet over.
While I sympathize with your desire to establish traditions of your own, you will encounter less resistance and resentment if you do it gradually. A way to do that would be to alternate Christmas holidays between your home and your in-laws" — a suggestion I hope you will take to heart.
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Sound recording and reproduction is an electrical, mechanical, electronic, or digital inscription and re-creation of sound waves, such as spoken voice, singing, instrumental music, or sound effects. The two main classes of sound recording technology are analog recording and digital recording.

- For me, the most important thing is the element of chance that is built into a live performance. The very great drawback of recorded sound is the fact that it is always the same. No matter how wonderful a recording is, I know that I couldn't live with it -- even of my own music -- with the same nuances forever.
- Aaron Copland; quoted in Classic Essays on Twentieth-Century Music, ISBN 0028645812.
- I hope my recordings of my own works won't inhibit other people's performances. The brutal fact is that one doesn't always get the exact tempo one wants, although one improves with experience.
- Aaron Copland; quoted in Classic Essays on Twentieth-Century Music, ISBN 0028645812
- If the listener does eventually come to the point where he makes the ultimate performance by splicing tapes from other musicians' recordings, he [sic] will eventually become just as bored with it as with other recordings, for it will still always be the same. Look, for instance, at electronic music. The boys are already becoming bored with what they do because they put it irrevocably on tape. The best indication of this is that more and more they are mixing the live performance element with their tapes.
- Aaron Copland; quoted in Classic Essays on Twentieth-Century Music, ISBN 0028645812.
- I can't believe that people really prefer to go to the concert hall under intellectually trying, socially trying, physically trying conditions, unable to repeat something they have missed, when they can sit at home under the most comfortable and stimulating circumstances and hear it as they want to hear it. I can't imagine what would happen to literature today if one were obliged to congregate in an unpleasant hall and read novels projected on a screen.
- Milton Babbitt; quoted in Classic Essays on Twentieth-Century Music, ISBN 0028645812
- We have all been affected as composers, as teachers, as musicians by recordings to an extent that cannot possibly be calculated as yet or predicted for the future. The music which is being most widely disseminated and most widely discussed, and therefore most widely imitated and influential, is that music which is available on records. The music that is only published is very little known. I don't think one can possibly exaggerate the extent to which the climate of music today is determined by the fact that the total Webern is available on records, that the total Schoenberg is becoming available.
- Milton Babbitt; quoted in Classic Essays on Twentieth-Century Music, ISBN 0028645812
- My experience of the original Edison phonograph goes back to the period when it was first introduced into this country. In fact, I have good reason to believe that I was among the very first persons in London to make a vocal record, though I never received a copy of it, and if I did it got lost long ago. It must have been in 1881 or 1882, and the place where the deed was done was on the first floor of a shop in Hatton Garden, where I had been invited to listen to the wonderful new invention. To begin with, I heard pieces both in song and speech produced by the friction of a needle against a revolving cylinder, or spool, fixed in what looked like a musical box. It sounded to my ear like someone singing about half a mile away, or talking at the other end of a big hall; but the effect was rather pleasant, save for a peculiar nasal quality wholly due to the mechanism, though there was little of the scratching which later was a prominent feature of the flat disc. Recording for that primitive machine was a comparatively simple matter. I had to keep my mouth about six inches away from the horn and remember not to make my voice too loud if I wanted anything approximating to a clear reproduction; that was all. When it was played over to me and I heard my own voice for the first time, one or two friends who were present said that it sounded rather like mine; others declared that they would never have recognised it. I daresay both opinions were correct.
- Herman Klein; quoted in The Gramophone magazine, December 1933

Pixar Is Making More Sequels -- Here Are the Ones We Want to See Most
Generally speaking, investor calls are god-awful boring – even if you're an actual investor in the company sponsoring the call – but every once in awhile an executive will reveal something cool or hint at some tantalizing thing for the future. Such was the case when Disney boss Bob Iger chatted with investors a few days back.
While talking all things House of Mouse, Iger eventually got around to Pixar. Aside from offering praise for the beloved animation studio, he had this to say:
"On the animation front, Pixar continues to create great value for our company too. We are very excited about Monsters University which opens next month. Pixar's slate of films for the next five years includes fantastic original stories as well as some great sequels to their previous hits. And as we recently announced, we are in production on one of those sequels, Finding Dory, featuring Ellen DeGeneres once again as the voice of Dory, one of the most beloved characters from Finding Nemo which was one of the most popular and profitable movies to date."
What stood out to us was the part about "some great sequels to their previous hits." What could the studio be planning to sequelize in the coming years?
We're not sure because Iger was more interested in being tantalizing than breaking big news, but that hasn't stopped us from geeking out over Pixar sequels we'd love to see. Some of these might happen, most of them probably won't, but here are the Pixar flicks we want more of.
Carl and Russell's adventure is one of the studio's most touching creations (seriously – we all still get misty-eyed every time we watch this footage of the courtship and marriage of Carl and Ellie. If you don't, you're made of stronger stuff than we are) and we'd love to see this cinematic odd couple go on another adventure. Sure, there's the potential to mess it up and we're totally fine with the first film being a stand-alone thing, but we really like these characters and would love to see more of them.
Toy Story
Seems like a no-brainer that Woody, Buzz and the gang will be back for a fourth outing – and there have been rumors that it's going to appear in 2015. While that's not official, we can't imagine Pixar not returning to this franchise. It may be an obvious choice, but we're all aboard for more time with the toys.
On a related note, Pixar just released the following image from a 30-minute Toy Story special in the works called Toy Story of Terror. But will these Toy Story-related shorts and specials crowd the Toy Story marketplace, removing a certain amount of anticipation from another full-length sequel?
Pixar's sci-fi robot romance is one of the studio's best – and maybe most underrated – films. We couldn't help but fall in love with title character WALL-E and his partner EVE in their first adventure – and the ending of that film leaves the door open for a lot of new stories. Hopefully Pixar is considering sharing what some of those adventures might be.
The Incredibles
How has this not happened yet? Of all of Pixar's properties, Brad Bird's superhero tale is the one that all but begs for a follow-up. Hell, the movie ends with a scene setting up a sequel. Add in the Disney/Marvel relationship and we're absolutely astounded we've never seen The Incredibles 2. That needs to change, and maybe it will – but if it doesn't, it's a huge missed opportunity. Someone get Brad Bird working double time to make this happen.
So, those are our picks for Pixar sequels we'd like to see. What are yours?

Honored for their outstanding performances on the big screen this year, W magazine featured a number of A-list actresses in its February 2013 issue.
Boasting big names like Naomi Watts, Marion Cotillard, Rachel Weisz, Nicole Kidman, and Jessica Chastain, the magazine's own Lynn Hirschberg sat down with 33 of the year's "brightest stars" and chatted about their critically acclaimed achievements.Highlights from the actresses' interviews are featured below. For the complete collection of interviews, visit W magazine!
Naomi Watts on her life off the red carpet:
"I never get recognized on the street. I'm lucky that way. People see me as the dolled-up movie-star type on the red carpet, but in real life, I don't look anything like that. I blend easily into a crowd. My husband, Liev Schreiber, is really distinct, and quite often people push me aside to get to him. They'll say, 'Isn't that the guy…?' and list off all his credits. They will then ask, 'Can you take a photo of us?' They have no idea who I am."
Marion Cotillard on her crush:
"I have a crush on Harry Dean Stanton in Paris, Texas. He was my type of guy, especially when I was a kid. I was totally in love with him. I wanted to go anywhere with Harry Dean Stanton: Texas, Paris, whatever, wherever."
Nicole Kidman on her first acting role:
"The first part I played was in the Nativity play at school. I auditioned for an angel and didn't get it. I auditioned for Mary and didn't get it. So I made up the character of the sheep who sat next to the baby Jesus. I wore a calico head thing that my mom made, and I bleated through the whole thing and got my first laugh. And that was it—I was hooked. That became a metaphor for my whole career: Every time I've thought, Oh, I should be Mary, I somehow go and find something offbeat and different."
Jessica Chastain on action scenes:
"It's easier to do an action scene than a love scene. I love fighting. When the camera's not rolling, I'll usually punch some of the actors, just for fun."
Amy Adams on Leonardo DiCaprio:
"When I did Catch Me If You Can, in 2002, I had a really big crush on Leonardo DiCaprio. I had fixated on him in Growing Pains and in Titanic. I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, if I ever work with Leo, it will be wonderful.' And then, there I was, with pigtails—looking not at all like Gisele, whom he was dating at the time. I figured my chances were pretty slim, so I just focused on the work."
Elle Fanning on Ryan Gosling:
"I love Ryan Gosling! I met him at the Governors Ball after the Oscars two years ago, and I freaked out. He stares into your soul. He's really tall, and the boys in my grade are all shorter than I am. He was looking down at me, which was a first, in a weird way. He shook my hand and said, 'It's so nice to meet you.' I didn't kiss him goodbye. I didn't have the confidence."
"It was much more difficult to do a death scene than a sex scene for Trishna. The sex scenes were disturbing: Trishna is a submissive person, and she is having sex in a submissive way, which is so not me. But I have never died, and I did not want to die in a gimmicky or comical way. It is hard to fake stabbing yourself with great intensity. I was so uncomfortable, I started to laugh."

A judge has rejected a proposed severance package of nearly $20 million for Thomas Horton, the chairman and chief executive officer of American Airlines parent AMR Corp , saying the payout was not allowed under federal bankruptcy law.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane in Manhattan issued his decision on Thursday, after having approved at a March 27 hearing AMR's planned $11 billion merger with US Airways Group Inc .
Continue Reading Below
Horton's $19.9 million severance had been part of the merger agreement and was to consist of equal amounts of cash and shares of the combined company.
Lane had suggested at the hearing that severance might be better addressed in AMR's reorganization plan, which the company has yet to submit and which requires creditor approval.
U.S. Trustee Tracy Hope Davis, a Department of Justice monitor for the bankruptcy, also opposed Horton's severance.
"It's American Airlines' current intention to address Mr. Horton's compensation arrangement in the plan of reorganization," said Mike Trevino, a spokesman for the carrier.
The combined company would be run by US Airways CEO Doug Parker, with Horton as nonexecutive chairman. Parker would become chairman after the first annual shareholder meeting, probably in the spring of 2014.
The plan of reorganization will address how creditors will get paid back. Shareholders of AMR may end up with a stake of at 3.5 percent in the combined company, which an attorney for AMR's creditor's committee has said could be valued at between $350 million and $400 million.
Horton first joined AMR in 1985, left in 2002 for a four-year stint at AT&T Corp and then returned. He became CEO of AMR when it filed for bankruptcy in November 2011.
AMR at first opposed merging while still in bankruptcy, but reversed itself under pressure from creditors. The merger would create the world's largest airline, and AMR and US Airways hope to save more than $1 billion of annual costs by 2015.
Davis had called Horton's proposed payout too large relative to severance for nonmanagement workers, and improper because it was not part of a program for full-time workers in general.
Lane rejected AMR's argument that these restrictions did not apply because the payout would be made - or could be voided - by the combined company after the merger closed.
"It is unclear what purpose would be served by the court's approval of the severance if (the combined company) could later veto the severance through a vote of its board," he wrote.
The judge also said deferring to AMR's "business judgment" in allowing the payout was "exactly what Congress sought to prevent" in capping severance awards by companies in bankruptcy.
AMR has said the payment to Horton recognized his efforts in leading the company through bankruptcy and into the merger.
Its lawyer, Stephen Karotkin, told Lane on March 27 that the desire of AMR directors to maximize value and see the merger through justified payments to Horton and others.
The combined carrier would take the American name and be based in AMR's hometown of Fort Worth, Texas. US Airways is based in Tempe, Arizona.
The case is In re: AMR Corp et al, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 11-15463.

The Otter Box 1000 Series case is waterproof, crushproof and watertight (it floats!). These cases are perfect for protecting your valuables from the elements, whatever they may be. The Otter Box 1000 offers watertight protection and storage for pagers, car keys, film, batteries, credit cards, small wallets, cell phones, fishing lures and so much more. The Otter Box is a patented dry box designed to handle full submersions--up to 100' (30.5 meters)! The solid color boxes provide nearly 100% UV protection. The main case seal is made from a foamed silicone cord. The plastic used to make the colored Otter Boxes is an ABS plastic that's reinforced with fiberglass. The hinge pins are made from marine grade 316 Stainless Steel which is the standard choice for salt and freshwater applications. Case measures 4.84" x 3.68" x 1.65" (12.3 cm x 9.3 cm x 4.2 cm) with an internal dimensions of 4" x 2.5" x 1.3" (10.2 cm x 6.35 cm x 3.3 cm), a volume of 13 cu. in. (0.2 liters) and weighs 4.8 oz. (136 g) when empty. Case has a traditional red & white" diver down flag design and comes with a lanyard. Great case for a small save-a-dive-kit.
This product has a limited lifetime warranty.
Reviewed by 2 customers
This box is not the same as the other Otters. I agree with the other poster that the top is warped and does not seat uniformly all around. But worse, the listed inside dimensions are not correct! If you plan on fitting something close, don't chance it. This box is smaller than listed-not by a lot but enough. Example, inside width is 2 3/8 even though it is listed as over 2 1/2. And if you count the curvature of the bottom corners, it is less. Also, there is no foam padding inside as there is on the Otters.
LeisurePro reps indicated that box is watertight to at least 100 ft, however I had it leak a bit (but not flood) on dives to 40 ft, so don't put anything inside that needs to stay absolutely dry. The top half of the case is a bit warped, so the seal is not tight all the way around. Also, you may need to use a knife or screwdriver to pry it open after flying or diving due to reduced pressure inside. On the plus side, it's durable and did not crush on a dive to 100 ft.

From financial and political bubbles to bubbles that tickle your senses, we have you covered with two books just published. We invite you to read their Introductions online.
Political Bubbles: Financial Crises and the Failure of American Democracy
by Nolan McCarty, Keith T. Poole & Howard Rosenthal
Behind every financial crisis lurks a "political bubble"–policy biases that foster market behaviors leading to financial instability. Rather than tilting against risky behavior, political bubbles–arising from a potent combination of beliefs, institutions, and interests–aid, abet, and amplify risk. Demonstrating how political bubbles helped create the real estate-generated financial bubble and the 2008 financial crisis, this book argues that similar government oversights in the aftermath of the crisis undermined Washington's response to the "popped" financial bubble, and shows how such patterns have occurred repeatedly throughout US history. The first full accounting of how politics produces financial ruptures, Political Bubbles offers timely lessons that all sectors would do well to heed.
Nolan McCarty is the Susan Dod Brown Professor of Politics and Public Affairs and chair of the Department of Politics at Princeton University. Keith T. Poole is the Philip H. Alston Jr. Distinguished Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Georgia. Howard Rosenthal is professor of politics at New York University and the Roger Williams Straus Professor of Social Sciences, Emeritus, at Princeton University.

Uncorked: The Science of Champagne (Revised Edition)
by Gérard Liger-Belair
With a new foreword by Hervé This
Bubbly may tickle the nose, but Uncorked tackles what the nose and the naked eye cannot–the spectacular science that gives champagne its charm and champagne drinkers immeasurable pleasure. Providing an unprecedented close-up view of the beauty in the bubbles, Gérard Liger-Belair presents images that look surprisingly like lovely flowers, geometric patterns, even galaxies as the bubbles rise through the glass and burst forth on the surface. He illustrates how bubbles form not on the glass itself but are "born" out of debris stuck on the glass wall, how they rise, and how they pop. Offering a colorful history of champagne, Liger-Belair tells us how it is made and he asks if global warming could spell champagne's demise. In a brand new foreword, renowned chemist Hervé This places the evolution of champagne within the context of molecular gastronomy and the science of cuisine, and in an original afterword, Liger-Belair updates the reader on new developments in the world of bubble science and delves even more deeply into the processes that give champagne its unique and beautiful character.
Gérard Liger-Belair is a physics professor at the University of Reims, located in the Champagne region of France.

Google Chrome Frame is a retort of Google company to Internet Explorer browser which is still widely popular, despite the fact that its rendering engine remains fallen behind other internet browsers. By applying this plug-in, users can benefit from Webkit engine capabilities and, at the same time, do not loose the opportunity of using Internet Explorer interface. To make this interesting solution work, an appropriate "meta name" has to be implemented into the head section of the visited page.
In accordance with that, our template contains an appropriate option in its settings that helps the user to switch the meta name in the head section, so that all IE users that have Google Chrome Frame plug-in installed will be able to see the web site along with all facilities offered by Webkit rendering engine.

I came across this recipe on Epicurious.com. I halved the recipe because I didn't have a big enough bowl for the full recipe. The original recipe has gorgeous chocolate leaves on top, but I went the easy route and just used ground chocolate to top mine. Love the leaf idea, but I got to be realistic at this point...not gonna happen! Besides it will taste just as divine without the chocolate leaves.

Greater Greater Washington has a great analysis on trails East of the River.
Road design, topography, and the arrangement of parkland make biking east of the Anacostia River difficult. However, that parkland also creates an opportunity to add miles of bike trails to stand in for the connectivity that on-street routes are unable to provide.
In fact, there is the potential to add trails east of the Anacostia river that would equal more bike trails than the rest of DC combined. Despite this, the area's history is unfavorable to bike usage.
Most of the infrastructure east of the river was planned after the widespread adoption of the automobile. As a result it is fractured, with a discontinuous street grid which makes for traffic sewers and circuitous routes. Furthermore, the width and scale of the roads were designed around cars, making it difficult for DDOT to add in bike lanes without taking out traffic lanes or parking.

The problem with publicly funded art (or its beauty if you love public debate) is that everyone is an art critic. When the art doesn't turn out like people expect, everyone has an opinion to share. Yet we can't in recent memory recall any public art project that has spurred more scorn than the "Mountain Memories" fountain sculpture erected over the summer at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Main Street.
The problem with publicly funded art (or its beauty if you love public debate) is that everyone is an art critic. When the art doesn't turn out like people expect, everyone has an opinion to share. Yet we can't in recent memory recall any public art project that has spurred more scorn than the "Mountain Memories" fountain sculpture erected over the summer at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Main Street.
Sure, there was that out-of-town architect's plans a few years ago for an ultra-modern art center at the site of old Grey Hosiery Mill. People hated it, and they said so. But it was really that project's estimated $35 million price tag that doomed it.
In the case of Mountain Memories, the project has already been built and landed with a colossal thud downtown. It does not help that city leaders allowed the project's cost to balloon from the artist's estimate of $121,000 to the final price tag of $183,284. However, given the attacks residents have lobbed at the fountain in letters to the editor and online comments, we suspect the sculpture would be a target even if it had not cost the city a dime.
As of Friday morning, 79 people had commented on staff writer Emily Weaver's Wednesday article on the fountain. None of them defended the sculpture, many were venomous in their critiques, and several justifiably questioned how city leaders allowed the price to get so high.
"The ugliness of this thing is only outdone by the outrageous price tag!" commented Mark Harris. "The City Council and mayor should be ashamed of spending taxpayer money in such a wasteful way. Hope the voters remember this at election time and clean house."
Along the lines of "Remember the Alamo," "Remember the fountain" is fast replacing "Remember the water system development charge" as a rallying cry among the disgruntled electorate. Torches and pitchforks may be next, unless, as one online commentator wished, "maybey (sic) a drunk driver will plow into it and they will have to tear it down."
Many of our amateur art critics have compared the sculpture to a tooth or teeth, prompting calls for extraction. Peter Hobson of Hendersonville asked, "How much a year do we still have to pay for X-rays and cleanings?" Scott Donaldson, a local urologist, claimed in a letter to the editor that "our dentists find the 'Mountain Fountain' epic in its beauty."
Leading the charge to repeal and replace the fountain is local clay artist Barbara Glassman. In a letter to the editor last month, she and her husband Stuart Glassman said the sculpture must go. "It is demoralizing and counterproductive to have something represent our town that is a source of ridicule and embarrassment," they wrote.
Glassman has proposed "repurposing" the sculpture by moving its copper top to the southern entrance to town, removing the fountain's stones and bricks from the current location and organizing a local group to raise money for "a true fountain" with a lot more flowing water. More than a third of fountain's total cost — $66,275 — is for water infrastructure already installed at the site, including a pump, filtration and sanitation system.
In her Wednesday article, Weaver spelled out how the cost of the fountain grew to more than $183,000. She explained how the city originally earmarked $143,000 for two gateway art projects, but only one (the fountain) came to fruition, and its price tag did not include specific costs for the piece or the mechanics to operate it.
Regardless of anyone's artistic tastes or opinions, this seems to be one hard-learned lesson for City Council and staff from the fountain fiasco. The city should not embark on a mechanically dependent piece of artwork without firm, upfront numbers for how much it will cost to build and operate.
Art is subjective. It cannot be created by committee or even by community consensus. Perhaps in time we will grow to love Mountain Memories, although that seems unlikely. Given the community's overwhelmingly negative response, city leaders should reconsider the project, solicit public input and consider all constructive suggestions to salvage the tax dollars that have already been spent.

Superb 9.0 From 783 reviews
Super convenient trip from the airport. Only had a room with two twin beds available. Alarm was going off in the building when I got in. Pool is cozy but could use maitanence. For the price is it great! You get what you pay for.
The front desks were extremely informative and welcoming while checking in. After I received my welcome drinks and snacks the server noticed some sort of impurity in the drink, apologized, and made me a second. The entire staff was very kind. The room was rather big and very comfortable for such a low price and the brrakfast was great! We had a great stay. Would definitely stay here again
Great location. Just a shuttle ride to the beach, close to airport...lots of restaurant options, literally across the street. We had the best meal in Bali two doors down... we went for dinner and returned for lunch the next day. Busy street, though. Careful crossing. Staff was nice, breakfast was delicious. Nice pool. Decent, clean rooms. I'd stay there again for sure.
The Hotel is Clean and good located. The staff is very helpful. Breakfast bufet is ok, swiming pool as well.

conservative needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 89 designs submitted by 37 freelance designers.
We need your help in developing a logo for Jack Sawyer, who is running as a Republican for Secretary of State in North Carolina.
Jack Stewart
Desired Color Scheme:
red, white, blue, black
Desired Style:
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
The theme of the campaign is
Less Government,
More Freedom,
Real Change.
The main thing to communicate is the candidate's last name, and the position that he's running for. It would be nice to incorporate something the shape of North Carolina.
The logo will need to be used on signs, billboards, printed material, web site, etc.
For the colors, we're leaning toward red, white and blue. But that's not set in stone. If you were going to pick one prominent color, it would probably be red.

i've been busy knitting but i've also been sewing. i couldn't resist whipping up another washi after making my dress. this time i decided to do a tunic. i originally was going for rae's version with sleeves and maybe a peter pan collar but the universe was against me. never try cutting out your clothing pattern pieces when you have kids running wild around you. after some silly mistakes (some that weren't even mine) i ended up running out of fabric and didn't have enough left to do the sleeves or collar. i also omitted the pockets...lol. but even though the end result wasn't what i had originally visioned i love it no less. i've been wearing it non stop and cannot rave enough about this awesome pattern.
i used one of my fave prints from last year "afro fusion dusk" from indie by pat bravo for art gallery fabrics. it's soft and has a lovely drape. i couldn't resist adding the same vintage mustard bias for my armholes and neckline that i did for my original washi dress. i did a plain rounded neckline that i finished with the mustard bias and some double top stitching for fun which i also repeated on the hemline. i also decided to add a casing with elastic for the back this time instead of doing the shirring. you can find a tutorial on how to do this on rae's blog here. i didn't line mine though. i simply made a casing and topstitched it down in position and fed the elastic through. when i sewed my side seams down it closed the ends of the casing. it's super fast, easy and i love the result. i recommend it if you don't feel comfortable sewing shirring or your machine acts up with it. mine has suddenly realized it hates shirring. no idea why...lol.
i hope to show you some pics soon of me actually wearing the tunic but with our dreary, grey, and rainy weather here the timing just always seems to be off for the hubs to take pics of me and it's just too dark in my condo to take shots of myself. hopefully i'll be able to show you all soon. in the meantime i put it on sally, my lovely dress form. she's not my size...not even close...haha...but i love her anyways. i use her for hanging things on and she likes to travel and do markets/craft shows with us all :) she's on loan to me from a friend and she's come in very handy. one day i will buy myself one that is my size though...lol. when i put this on her i died laughing. seriously. it really made me realize how big "my girls" were when you see it hanging off of a dress form that is the size i'd like to be. oh my....so close ups it is :) i'm sure you get the idea though :)
i've really been enjoying sewing my own clothing and hope to do a lot more this year. one of my new year's resolutions has been to sew my own pair of pants. anyone have a great pattern recommendation? i'm fed up with buying pants that just dont' fit right and make me look bigger than i am so i'd love to make some fit just for my body.
have you made your own pants before? what is your favorite pattern to use? do you have any tips for me? let's chat sewing my friends!

Joe Francis Promised He Wouldn't Go After Madonna ... Then Flip-Flopped
Joe Francis Totally FLIP-FLOPS On Madonna Attack
Joe Francis has had a major change of heart about Madonna ... because 4 months ago ... he PROMISED he wouldn't sue if she used the name "Girls Gone Wild" on her album ... and TMZ has the footage to prove it.
Back in November, we asked Francis about the then-rumor that Madge titled one of her songs, "Girls Gone Wild" ... and Francis happily replied, "I'm excited about that!"
We asked if he was cool with the situation, legally ... to which he explained, "I'm REALLY cool with that actually ... I'm not going to sue you Madonna ... I love you, I love Madonna."
Fast forward to last night ... when Joe once again made it clear he wasn't going to back down from his new demand that Madge PAY HIM for using the name ... because he owns the rights to everything GGW-related, including "Girl Gone Wild."
He added, "We've spent almost a billion dollars building this brand ... and she's not going to get a free ride on my brand. But I love the song, I hope it does well ... and I look forward to being a profit participant."

Medicine & Healthcare in Nepal by Claire Bonneau
I am currently an undergraduate student studying Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta. As I am a pre-med student with no medical training, I was placed in the Chitwan Medical College (CMC) in the city of Bharatpur in Nepal.
My Adventure to Nepal
I have never travelled anywhere on my own, let alone across the entire globe. I had to take three flights – Calgary to Vancouver (1 hour), Vancouver to Guangzhou (13 hours) and Guangzhou to Kathmandu (5 hours).
I got incredibly nervous during my flights, resulting in me being sick for the entire flight to Guangzhou. By the time I arrived in Kathmandu, it was 2:30 in the morning. I had no food or water in my stomach, and I was absolutely terrified. Thankfully, the Projects Abroad staff picked me up from the airport and took me to my hotel without a problem.
After a day of sleeping and being sick in Kathmandu, I took a six-hour bus to Bharatpur - I will never forget this bus ride. They had a road wide enough for one lane of traffic being used as a two-way motorway, weaving through the mountains on dirt roads. My bus had a couple goats on the roof, just along for the ride. I felt very lost and alone, and I remember wanting to call my parents to beg them to let me come home. But am I ever glad I didn't, because once in Bharatpur I had such an amazing time.
My Accommodation
I was fortunate enough to stay in the home of Kamala and family. Kamala (or Ahma, which is mother in Nepali) and Baba (father in Nepali) were very kind to me, always asking about my day despite the slight language barrier. I had three house siblings, Rishma, Rushan, and Rupak, all of which were lovely and excited to hang out with me whenever they had time.
For the first week I had no roommate, so I spent a lot of time with the volunteer living in the house next door (the houses were so close!). I ended up getting a roommate a week into my placement, which was an amazing experience. She was from Norway and the two of us became very good friends.
My Medicine Placement
As I mentioned, my placement was in the Chitwan Medical College. Each week we were given the opportunity to change wards. In my four-week time at the hospital, I spent most of my time in the ER, maternity and operation wards. The Nepali hospitals are nothing like the hospitals we have here in Canada. For one, they have frequent power outages, which despite the hospitals best efforts to use backup generators for continuous power, still resulted in many vital machines turning off at any given time.
Despite the challenges, the hospital is well run, and I got to see many very interesting things. In ER I saw many RTA (Road Traffic Accident) victims, broken bones and unfortunately a couple of suicide cases. One day, a man came running into the ER with a bandage over his hand, as he had accidentally sliced off all four of his fingers using some farming equipment. Despite how gruesome some of the accidents were, it was amazing being able to see how all of the doctors reacted.
In Maternity, I saw a natural birth and got to hold and play with a four-day-old baby. As maternity is a bit of a slower ward, I got to know the nurses very well, all of which were very nice and social. Finally, my last week was in operations. I saw multiple C-section births, multiple gall bladder removals and various other smaller operations. It was the best week of my time in Nepal.
Weekend Adventures
Though we were very busy during the week, all volunteers were allowed to travel the country over the weekends. This was the best way to make friends with the other volunteers and an amazing opportunity to learn about Nepal.
On my first weekend I went to Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha. This is an absolute must if you are in Nepal. The Maya Devi Temple was absolutely stunning and really captures the religion and culture of the Nepali people.
Finally, my last weekend was spent in Pokhara, where I went paragliding. Strapped into a harness with my guide, we ran off the edge of a mountain and glided around the valley for about fifteen minutes. The view was absolutely breath-taking.
Though my weekend trips make me seem like quite the adrenaline junkie – I can honestly say I am not. Being in such a beautiful country full of wonderful locals and volunteers really brought out the best version of me, and I used that energy to capture every moment I could.
Returning Home
Finally, when it was time for me to return to Canada, I was driven by Projects Abroad to the airport in Kathmandu. I took the same gruelling trip home but I made it safe and sound, ready to share my experience with my friends and family. I am so grateful for my time in Nepal, as it has shown me my passion for medicine, but also my interest in world cultures. Overall, Nepal is an excellent country with much to offer.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Hospital Fired Employee for Accepting its Offer of a Brief Leave of Absence After Cancer Treatment, Federal Agency Charged
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - Midwest Regional Medical Center, an acute care hospital and for-profit Oklahoma limited liability corporation, violated federal law by firing an employee because of her cancer and cancer treatment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Janice Withers was hired by Midwest Regional Medical Center on Oct. 3, 2011, as a nurse aide. In late December 2011, Withers advised her supervisor, Registered Nurse Susan Milan, that she had recently been diagnosed with cancer and would undergo radiation treatment during the period January through February 2012. At that time, Milan offered Withers a leave of absence, but Withers indicated she wanted to try and work during the treatment. Milan advised Withers that her cancer and treatment would not be a problem and would not affect her employment.
Withers concluded radiation treatment, but called in sick because of nausea and fatigue, the residual side effects of this treatment, on March 2 through March 4, 2012. On March 5, Milan contacted Withers by telephone and advised that she was placing her on a further leave of absence until March 12, telling her to "get rested up from the radiation." Milan sent Withers a letter, dated March 5, memorializing that she had been placed on a leave of absence until March 12. The letter provided that Withers was expected to obtain an unrestricted release to work, and return to work no later than March 12.
However, on March 12, Milan told Withers that she was discharged as of March 9 for "no call/no show." The EEOC said that Withers could have returned to work on March 12 and performed her essential job functions with or without reasonable accommodation had she been permitted to do so by her employer.
Such alleged conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The EEOC filed its lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma (EEOC v. Midwest Regional Medical Center, Civil Case No.: CIV-13-789-M) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The EEOC's suit seeks back pay, compensatory and punitive damages and reinstatement or front pay for Withers, as well as injunctive relief, including a court order prohibiting Midwest Regional Medical Center from any further discrimination against employees because of their disability.
"The ADA has long prohibited a private employer from discriminating against applicants or employees because of their disability," said Barbara A. Seely, regional attorney of the EEOC's St. Louis District Office. "Instead of simply solving this situation, which it easily could have done, the hospital chose to violate established civil rights of disabled employees. Through this litigation, we hope that this employer will come to better understand and assume its obligations under the law."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.

There are two hair products I absolutely cannot live without: Soy Tri-Wheat Leave-In Conditioner and Moroccan Oil. I use them ritually and am always happy with the results: lustrous, hydrated, and healthy hair.
I use the Soy Tri-Wheat Leave-In Conditioner after I wash my hair. It leaves it soft and smelling pretty yummy. Next, I apply a small amount of Moroccan Oil to the ends of my hair before blow drying it. The oil smoothes out my hair without weighing it down. Plus, it's also great for flyaways too!
What are your must have hair products?
XO Lauren
P.S. Will I see you at my FNO event tonight?

Missouri Postgame Quotes - Transcripts
THE MODERATOR: We'll start with an opening comment from Coach Pinkel.
COACH PINKEL: What a game. Oklahoma State is a really good team. Just all the drama that you don't want as a coach in the fourth quarter we had. We had a lot of adversity. I thought our team handled the adversity very well. Fortunately we made the plays we needed to make to win it at the end.
Very proud of our football team. Wanted that trophy really bad for them. Just a lot of things happened in that game. They played very, very good defense, as we played good defense. The scoring, a lot of people thought it might have been in the 40s, that type of thing. I think you give credit to the defenses first of all.
We just battled offensively. We were having trouble all day with consistency of execution. Just kept battling at the very end and made some plays. That last drive when we took the lead on offense, DGB caught that one on the 10 yard line, 15 yard line. Henry Josey, what a day he had. He put it in the end zone. The drama at the end, Michael Sam knocking the ball out, Shane Ray taking it for a touchdown. Those two back to back drives, you never get up. You keep battling, fighting, perservering.
THE MODERATOR: We'll go to questions for coach.
Q. I'll fall on the sword here, get this question out of the way. Maty Mauk takes the team down the field and scores. The team struggled after that. Talk about the decision and the thinking of leaving him in for one series?
COACH PINKEL: (Indiscernible) in the second half and that was our thought to do it that way. I thought James kept his composure. You look at the quarterback, you can point at him. But there's blocking, there's protection, there's routes, there's all those other things that most of you, most people probably can't see all the time.
We know exactly why things break down. No, I thought he came back and did well. I thought Maty certainly did well. The second time they put a lot of pressure on us and we struggled a little bit.
That was our thinking.
Q. Big emotional game for James Franklin as a senior, his final game as a Tiger. What can you tell us about your senior class that made them any different to you than other previous classes?
COACH PINKEL: Well, I think every class is different. I've been very fortunate in this business to be around a lot of special players and special kids. Since I've been here we've had a lot of great classes.
This one is significant because last year as we made the transition to the SEC, we had all these injuries, we didn't have a very good year. These guys came out, came back in January, they just kind of reset the standards for who we are, what we're about.
It's not just about winning. I remember meeting with the seniors. It's not just about going to a bowl game. They say we have to get back to the attitude and compete for championships around here. This is what they're telling me in January and February in my office. We went about that, goal setting. Certainly more emphasis with our team on those things.
We stayed very healthy this year. But certainly the senior class, I'll always remember them for getting Mizzou back to its winning ways.
Q. Looking at the way you've said in the past you agonized over these night games because of seeing all the mistakes happen. How was this day different for you and your players?
COACH PINKEL: Well, the day just was different. All my family is here, all my grandkids. I have six grandkids, one on the way. I got a chance to play with them a little bit.
Didn't get to have the pain and agony of watching football all day, though I kind of missed it. I guess it's one of those things.
When you get that Gatorade poured on your head, that shocked my system. But it's always great when that happens because that means your football team has done a lot of significant things.
It's all about our team and our players. It's about all the support people. It's about the influence that this has on the University of Missouri from a marketing standpoint, in terms of all the publicity we're getting, how it helps.
So it's our fans. It's all about everybody. I'm just happy for everybody. You know, we'll get back in January and readjust and get going again.
Q. I know you've downplayed it at times this season. The seniors this week talked about how getting you that 102nd win was a big deal. Becoming the all time winningest coach in the Cotton Bowl like this, what does this mean?
COACH PINKEL: Very nice. Had a bunch of players come up to me on the field and as I said, This isn't about me, this is about a championship. It's how championships are. There's a lot of people that had a lot to do with winning all of those games. It goes all the way back to Toledo. There's a lot of coaches, administrators, and players and academic support people and trainers. Winning isn't all about me. Don Faurot, who he is, things he stood, for I'm honored.
I kind of show my hand a little bit. I did that the last three or four years. I still do it today. I like being at Missouri. I want to continue to build a program. We got great challenges ahead of us in this league. It's a gauntlet schedule. But I'm very honored, very honored to be the winningest coach in Missouri history.
I thank all those people who were a part of that.
Q. The play that Michael made there with 55 seconds to go, does that kind of encapsulate the season he's had for you guys?
COACH PINKEL: First team All American, makes an All American play. Shane Ray picks it up. The first thing I started screaming, I didn't want him to pick it up and bobble it, then they get the ball back. I was mad for about two yards after he picked it up and started running with it. Then I reevaluated myself and thought it was a good idea, what he did.
I didn't know Michael was the one that knocked it out until I got in the locker room. A couple players told me. Michael and I have a very good relationship. It's fitting.
You get in games like that, I would hope that the Cotton Bowl liked that game. I think it was probably a great game to watch on TV. But it's a battle. When you win 'em, it's great. When you lose 'em, it just tears your guts out as a competitor. So I feel very fortunate that against a real good football team we won that game.
Q. Just for clarification, the decision to bring Maty in in the second half, that was a pregame decision?
COACH PINKEL: That was pregame. Done in our Thursday staff meeting, which was Wednesday.
Q. With James' career up and down, especially with the year he had last year, what gave you the faith in him to know he was going to come through in the clutch?
COACH PINKEL: He's won a lot of clutch games. You go back to his sophomore year. You go back to last year, this year. I think you generally go with experience.
One thing about Maty, it's very obvious that we have a heck of a young football player there. We thought it was good to get him in that game. He's going to compete. Is he going to be starter next year? I don't know. He certainly has a good chance. It's all based on competition.
But we thought it would be good to get him in. I thought he did a good job.
Q. Considering the history of your program, how much of a kick did you get out of the referee readjusting the third down call when he originally called it a second down?
COACH PINKEL: I thought it was great. You know what, the beauty of instant replay, the beauty of being able to go back and stop and analyze those things, how it's different now. I refer to the Cotton Bowl. The history of the Cotton Bowl, a game was won or lost, they thought a guy was inbounds that wasn't. Oklahoma or somebody.
Certainly the down and distance one, I don't know where that came from. I'm glad they figured that out. I didn't want to be part of that. I didn't want to call Bob Stull after this, who is a very good friend of mine.
THE MODERATOR: We'll take some questions for the student athletes at this time.
Q. Henry, what does it say after everything you've been through that you can sit up there, most outstanding offensive player?
HENRY JOSEY: I have the best support ever. I have so many people that have been behind me and pushing me. Like I tell everybody, it's never me. You got to have faith. I have faith in God, then so many people that have been taking me to the next level.
These guys believe in me even when I doubted myself, even when everybody was doubting that I would come back again. That's the main thing of my success is just having the right support.
Q. Andrew, what does it mean to pass your father? I think you're 10th all time in Missouri for tackles.
ANDREW WILSON: It's a good feeling. Finishing this last one with a win. I would like to say anybody on the defense could have got this trophy. I got the luck of the draw because everybody played great.
Q. Kony, have you made a decision about your future?
KONY EALY: Yeah, I have. I love my teammates. I love my coaches. I've gone from a boy to a man here. I feel like it is time for me to go on to the next level.
I love everything about Mizzou, man. It wouldn't be possible without God and my family and Mizzou and my father and my sister.
So, yeah, I decided to go ahead and declare. Made myself available to go into the NFL.
Q. Did you watch the Sugar Bowl? How did that outcome kind of affect you guys? Did it make you feel like you needed to represent your conference a little bit better today?
HENRY JOSEY: Yes, that's something real big, I mean, representing the SEC. The SEC is such a powerful conference. That's the conference that everybody looks to. That's where all the attention is.
Coming into this game, that was in the back of our mind. That was always in the back of our mind that we had to hold up the rep for the SEC.
Q. What did you see on that final fumble?
ANDREW WILSON: I was dropping in coverage and I saw Mike coming around the corner and hit him. Shane picked it up. I started screaming and I chased him all theway into the end zone, which was not smart, because I was dead tired after that. But that was an awesome play.
KONY EALY: Nothing new to me. We practice this day in, day out. Our coaches, we have to practice this. But it paid off in the game. It wasn't a practice that Mike Sam got that sack fumble. He does it every day in practice. Does it every day in the game. Shane Ray finally got himself a touchdown. Welcome to the club, bro.
Q. Talk about the impact you made early.
KONY EALY: Well, I don't ever want to point myself out. It's more so a team effort. Without my teammates, pass rushers, people I was covering, my sacks wouldn't have came.
First of all I want to give thanks to my teammates. Secondly, it's just a good effort because that's what we preach in practice, a good effort by me coming off the ball really hard, get up field and get to the ball.
Q. Kony, what does it mean to you to end your Missouri career declaring? Did you come into this game a little extra motivated? I'm assuming this was a premeditated decision before the game.
KONY EALY: No, not really. I treated it like an everyday situation. I don't think about the future. I think about the moment. What is most important is me celebrating a victory today with my teammates. That's what we did.
Afterwards I felt really good. Sent the seniors out with a win. A lot of the criticism from last year, it's all paying off. The seniors brought us and led us here. Everybody stepped up and was onboard 110%.
Q. Henry, you also said that you hadn't thought about the draft. Have you made your mind up, too?
HENRY JOSEY: It's still a process. There's people I have to talk to. First of all, I have to talk to my grandma. She wasn't able to be here today because of the flu. I put a lot on my back. It's always something I'll talk about with her and something I'll talk about with my coach. That's how I'll go from there.
Q. Henry, you came into the same recruiting class with James Franklin. Ever any doubt in your mind or the offensive mind that he was going to come through in the clutch with that last throw that set up your touchdown?
HENRY JOSEY: You never doubt James. That's the main thing I try to do is keep him calm. I tell him I got his back. Everything that happened with the fumble, let it go, I got your back. Of course he's going to make a big play. He's done it this whole year. Even when I wasn't playing as well as I wanted to, he stepped up and made big plays. There's not always one guy you can count on. You can count on everyone.
THE MODERATOR: We'll continue with a couple more questions for the coach.
Q. How do you feel about the recruiting pipeline that you've created into Texas?
COACH PINKEL: Texas has been very, very important to us. That was a calculated decision that we made based on trying Missouri is the most important, but to get a populous state outside of Missouri, where do we go? Are we going to go to Florida, Georgia, Chicago, Big Ten country, go there? Texas is where we thought we would come because high school football is great football. There's a lot of great numbers here.
It's been very, very good to us for years and years and years. I think we had 32 players. Maxed out at 36, 38. We certainly are going to stay in Texas, especially Houston, all the way straight up to Dallas and East Texas. We are adjusting a little bit because we can get into Georgia a little bit and Tennessee and Florida a little bit.
But it's been very, very important to us. I can give you a list of names of players that are playing in the NFL right now that came to play for us at Mizzou and helped us win.
Q. Did you realize the game lasted more than four hours? Should games last that long? Was it disruptive, the length of the game?
COACH PINKEL: I had no idea. You're out there. You're so focused. It might can last six or two, I don't know. As long as you win, I don't care how long they go.
Timeouts ran a little bit longer. It was good for Mizzou. It was good for the SEC. It was good for the University of Missouri. That's all good.
Q. What does it mean to you, Henry Josey, he scores in this game, you gave him the first game ball, what does it mean to you to see him persevere?
COACH PINKEL: We talked about this. He's a remarkable kid. He's special. That's what you see on the field. But the reason he's special, he's got great athleticism, he's tough, he's strong, all those other things. But his heart, you can't measure how big his heart is, his determination, his perseverance.
Once he overcame that injury, I mean, you know, you grow from those things. He's no different now. Remarkably he's a better player now. He's a stronger player now even than before he had the injury.
