The undefeated Denver Broncos (3-0) will face the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-2) on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium.
Under new head coach Dirk Koetter, Tampa Bay dominated the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1 before getting blown out by the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2. Last week, they narrowly lost to the Los Angeles Rams in a 37-32 defeat.
The Bucs will be without Doug Martin again this week, so their success will rely on quarterback Jameis Winston.
The Broncos on the other hand, are riding high. Denver quarterback Trevor Siemian is coming off a four-touchdown outing in last Sunday's 29-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Siemian has impressed as Broncos starting quarterback. He's completed 63 of 94 passes for 756 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions.

Joe Rice, Motley Rice co-founder, is recognized as a skillful and innovative litigator and negotiator of complex litigation settlements, having served as the lead negotiator in some of the largest civil actions our courts have seen in the last 20 years. Corporate Legal Times reported that national defense counsel and legal scholars described Joe as one of the nation's "five most feared and respected plaintiffs' lawyers in corporate America." He was cited time after time as one of the toughest, sharpest and hardest-working litigators they faced. As the article notes, "For all his talents as a shrewd negotiator ... Rice has earned most of his respect from playing fair and remaining humble." The American Lawyer described Joe in 2006 as "one of the shrewdest businessmen practicing law."
Joe negotiates for the firm's clients at all levels, including securities and consumer fraud, anti-terrorism, human rights, environmental, medical drugs and devices, as well as catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. He is a member of the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee for the Lipitor® multidistrict litigation and a member of the Plaintiffs' Executive Committee for the In re General Motors LLC Ignition Switch Litigation.
BP Oil Spill:
Joe served as the lead negotiator for the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee in reaching the two settlements with BP, one of which is the largest civil class action settlement in U.S. history. The Economic and Property Damages Rule 23 Class Action Settlement is estimated to make payments totaling between $7.8 billion and $18 billion to class members.
Joe held a crucial role in executing strategic mediations and/or resolutions on behalf of 56 families of 9/11 victims who opted out of the government-created September 11 Victim Compensation Fund. In addition to providing answers, accountability and recourse to victims' families, the resulting settlements with multiple defendants shattered a settlement matrix developed and utilized for decades. The litigation also helped provide public access to evidence uncovered for the trial.
As lead private counsel for 26 jurisdictions, including numerous State Attorneys General, Joe was integral to the crafting and negotiating of the landmark Master Settlement Agreement, in which the tobacco industry agreed to reimburse states for smoking-related health costs. This remains the largest civil settlement in U.S. history.
Joe held leadership and negotiating roles involving the bankruptcies of several large organizations, including AWI, Federal Mogul, Johns Manville, Celotex, Garlock, W.R. Grace, Babcock & Wilcox, U.S. Gypsum, Owens Corning and Pittsburgh Corning. He has also worked on numerous Trust Advisory Committees. Today, he maintains a critical role in settlements involving asbestos manufacturers emerging from bankruptcy and has been recognized for his work in structuring significant resolutions in complex personal injury litigation for asbestos liabilities on behalf of victims injured by asbestos-related products. Joe has served as co-chair of Perrin Conferences' Asbestos Litigation Conference, the largest national asbestos-focused conference.
Joe is often sought by investment funds for guidance on litigation strategies to increase shareholder value, enhance corporate governance reforms and recover assets. He was an integral part of the shareholder derivative action against Omnicare, Inc., Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust v. Gemunder, which resulted in a significant settlement for shareholders as well as new corporate governance policies for the corporation.
In 1999 and 2000, he served on the faculty at Duke University School of Law as a Senior Lecturing Fellow, and taught classes on the art of negotiating at the University of South Carolina School of Law, Duke University School of Law and Charleston School of Law.
In 2013, he and the firm created the Ronald L. Motley Scholarship Fund at The University of South Carolina School of Law in memory and honor of co-founding member and friend, Ron Motley.

Consider how Meg Whitman responded to a headhunter's call in November 1997. At the time, she was running Hasbro's Playskool division (600 employees, $600 million in annual sales) and enjoying it immensely. The headhunter invited her to consider the top job at a tiny Web firm she'd never heard of.
Whitman, now 44, reluctantly agreed to visit California to interview for the CEO post—at the company that became eBay. "I remember … saying, I can't believe I'm about to fly across the country to look at a black-and-white auction classified site," she told Fast Company.
Yet the company's founder, Pierre Omidyar, won her over. She also realized that the growth potential in e-commerce far exceeded what she could expect at Hasbro.
Thanks to her willingness to investigate the offer, she wound up taking it. Today, eBay is weathering the economic downturn better than most tech companies and Whitman has become one of America's most admired CEOs.

AFG has also set up an art rehabilitation program to lift the spirits of the children fighting leukemia. AFG provided medicine and equipment for the children with leukemia as a result of cooperation with Project HOPE.
Art supplies delivered to the Hematology-Oncology Center by Project HOPE and GlaxoSmithKline for the children to use during the AFG sponsored arts and craft therapy program.
Parents' House
A Parents' House modeled on the Ronald McDonald House program will open on April 16, 2010. Funders include the Cordaid Foundation of the Netherlands and AFG. AFG with support of AmCham helped fund this project. The U.K. office of Project HOPE, which coordinated the donation by GlaxoSmithKline, made possible the building of the kitchens in the Parent' House.
Environmental Education
Institute of Decorative Gardening and Ecology
AFG assisted by equipping the Institute's computer classroom with 6 laptops with a grant of $3,000. AFG also made possible educational trips for the teachers and most promising students to Warsaw and Bonn, which leads to valuable partnerships and mentoring. AFG provided funds for Mother Tekla, the Institute's director, to build a greenhouse for the school where students can further their education by learning to grow and sell plants which in turn produce income for the needs of the Institute. AFG is paying for Mother Tekla's ticket to London in May 2010 in order to establish a mentoring relationship for the Institute of Decorative Gardening and Ecology with the British Gardeners Society.
Containers and Cooperation with Project HOPE
AFG and Project HOPE agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding in 2008 with Project HOPE packing and delivering pharmaceuticals, disposables and equipment and shipping 4 containers with a value of $1,879,412 to AFG in 2008 and 2009. AFG distributed the contents to five referral hospitals in Tbilisi.
GARDASIL Urban Pilot Project
AFG in cooperation with the National Screening Center (NSC) in Georgia and with support from Humanity International, is starting the GARDASIL Urban Pilot Project in May 2010 – a cervical cancer prevention project. The goal of the project is to decrease morbidity from cervical cancer in Georgian women and give Georgia experience in designing and implementing HPV vaccination projects and experience in developing effective operational models for adolescent immunization. The vaccines are donated by Merck and Co, Inc. through Axios Healthcare Development. AFG will receive and monitor vaccines — value of donation is $2.4 to $3.0 million.
Education Project for Javakheti – Art Books for Georgia
AFG joined with the residents of Wellfleet and other Cape Cod towns in collecting a wonderful library of donated art books, which were sent via the U.S. Embassy to the St. Zosime Vocational Boarding School in the region of Javakheti, Georgia. One of AFG's Georgian partners, The Georgian Textile Group, is working in this isolated region of Georgia. Over 150 heavy and expensive art books have been collected. The school will make the library available to the whole community of Akhalkalaki in Javakheti.
Mercy Center Hospice Nursing School
AFG received a grant of $5,000 for Mother Mariam's Hospice in 2009 from the Nef Foundation for four months of daily operating expenses at the hospice and two months of salaries of 5 nurses assisting terminally ill patients at home. In 2010, AFG provided $10,200 to the Hospice Nursing School to fund transportation of the young nursing students between the Nursing School and their elderly and sick patients who are in hospitals or at home. The grant will also cover food and uniforms for some of the students. AFG also provided a grant of $5,000 for renovation of the Nursing School.
Society Biliki
Society Biliki is providing education and a supportive environment for 6-16 year old children at risk of the street in two day centers in Gori – Biliki and Skhivi. Gori, with a population of 6,500, is now the home to over 3,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from South Ossetia 2008. In 2010, AFG helped Biliki renovate a larger space in the Kombinati Settlement where there are 2 IDP collective centers. As a result, Biliki can take in 45 children a day at the Skhivi Center instead of 30 children a day.
Georgian fairy tales
AFG sponsored the publication of an English translation of Georgian fairy tales, translated by Archil Khantadze and including illustrations by Sandro Eristavi, a well-known painter. AFG's grant of $3,000 produced a beautiful illustrated book with a recording of the fairy tales on CD. Any profits from the books will go to AFG's projects.
Kindergarten for Deaf and Mute Children
AFG gave a grant to replace the floor and windows at the Kindergarten for Deaf and Mute Children in Tbilisi where 200 children are living
Dzegvi/Bediani Bursury Fund
AFG funded $14,252, with the important assistance from the oil corporation charity in the U.K., the Dzegvi/Bediani Bursury Fund. This is a scholarship fund for the former street children to attend university. This is very important to the volunteers and nuns who have raised these children because they need to be able to give the children skills so that they will become independent through employment. AFG gave a grant of $10,000 in 2010 to purchase a car that can transport supplies and younger children living in Bediani between Bediani and Tbilisi. The car will also serve AFG's work with IDP children from South Ossetia (Samachablo) near Gori. AFG also gave funds for Bediani to purchase 24 new beehives for the community and to give Bediani children Internet access with the rest of the world for the first time.
Napertskala Summer Camp
AFG funding of $2,500 paid for a wonderful summer camp for Napertskala's handicapped orphans. It also paid for some renovations to their regular building in Tbilisi where these orphans come to learn crafts and other independent skills.
Children's TB Hospital
AFG applied to the Ross Foundation, which funded much needed equipment for the Children's TB Hospital. $6,200 purchased a Portable Ultrasound Unit to localize extra pulmonary lesions and monitor treatment progress in children with widespread TB infection, especially effective with infection of the brain. $1,700 purchased a Patient Monitoring System to track vital signs of bedridden children.
Georgian Library Donated to National Center of Manuscripts
AFG received a valuable library from the widow of Professor Wachtang Djobadze which AFG gave to the National Center of Manuscripts, under the Ministry of Education, in Georgia. Dr. Djobadze, who died in the U.S., was the only archeologist to be able to investigate and record the Georgian churches and monasteries in Georgia's historical lands of Tao and Klarjeti (now part of Turkey) during the years of Georgia's Soviet occupation. Many of the monuments he studied in Turkey and in other countries have been destroyed and his library is the only documentation of these important sites.

We all need more moments like these. Or at least I know I do.
Complete abandon, going down screaming with joy, one hand raised in the air in triumph, with no concern about what's at the bottom.
Have one of those moments today.
Let's do it.
We all need more moments like these. Or at least I know I do.
Let's do it.
The stockings are hung, the presents are wrapped, the goodies are baked. We've rehearsed our Christmas Eve KidStuf show, decorated for the Christmas Eve candlelight service, watched the favorite Christmas classics, and even cleaned the house. We've bought the last minute presents and should be sitting back relaxing and enjoying it.
But I'm on day two of migraines and getting enough relief to barely function but nothing more. And Michael is on week three of an episode that hasn't landed him in the hospital but has made me contemplate the need for it many times. So just like usual, I'm feeling a bit sorry for us, and mostly for him. He should be able to enjoy this season, but we're here once again and he's struggling with the emotional battlefield that creates.
But God keeps sending us these small surprises that help keep us going, and remind me that we're not forgotten.
As I dug through my wrapping paper supplies, which includes old Christmas cards that I use as tags, I saw handwriting that I hadn't seen in years. 6 1/2 years actually.
Austin's last Christmas with us we made quite a few sweet memories. One of them was him helping me with Michael's Christmas gift. Austin was a computer whiz, and I asked him to set up and configure the new laptop that he'd helped me find. He met me at Panera and we drank coffee while he worked on it, to make sure Michael didn't see. He then bought a warranty to go with it as Michael's gift, and what I found was his handwritten note saying that he'd bought him a warranty.
It's the kind of thing I'd normally throw away, and I'm not sure why I kept it. I'm not sure how it sat in that box of supplies for so long without me seeing it either. But as I sat wrapping presents this year, with Michael asleep near me, and me hoping for a miracle for him this year, I got a small one of my own. A reminder of my brother and of the love he had for us.
A small company, UnMarketing, who says to 'Stop Marketing, Start Engaging' did just that through granting items from wish lists for a fairly large group of people. They asked you to send them Amazon wish lists, and they'd be selecting some people to pick an item off the list and send it. No questions, no fuss, no contest. They didn't make you share it to win it, or like them on Facebook, or fill out an application.
Within 10 minutes, two items off of Michael's Christmas list were ordered and a personal note sent about why the man behind this chose those- he didn't just throw money (which was cool enough on it's own) but he took time to connect. They weren't high ticket items, but they're items that he'll love.
And with those two gifts, I'm reminded….
I wish I didn't have to write a post like this every year- that I didn't struggle with balancing the great and true Joy of the God we're celebrating and the kids who have my heart with the heartache of this illness and my brother being missing. I often feel like I've said as much as I can say on these topics, and have nothing more to give.
But maybe, you're like me and facing the same things year after year and needing the reminder that just because you are doesn't mean you're forgotten, or unloved.
He loves us more than we can know, which is after all why we have Christmas to celebrate.
Merry Christmas my friends.
Artificial sweetener
Hair color
Chemically processed food
Fake things are all around us, and in this day and age we're so used to them we barely realize the difference. Some of them are okay, and some of them are very bad. Artificial sweetener? More and more research proves that it is no good. Food that starts real is quickly processed until it is closer to plastic than food, and on it goes.
And then there are….
White lies
Plastered smiles
Boastful stories
Passing "how are you's"
We consume these without a problem, as we hear and see them as often as the real. But even worse, we give them out to be consumed, rather than the truth. It's so much easier than the truth, so much less messy for us and for others. We put up our fake smiles and we accept others without questioning, and we all go on.
It's no wonder that we often have a hard time finding joy in life and living life to the full potential that God meant for us to. He gave us real tangible things, and souls of emotion and passion. We found ways to manufacture these things. But they don't come close to the real thing.
I'm tired of fake. About six weeks ago I started cutting out the fake food- no artificial anything, nothing processed with chemicals, nothing I ate most of the time. What a change. Now I taste food for what it really is- salty or sweet, crunchy or soft, all as it was meant to be. I'm seeing a change in my health too, and I feel good.
I'm making some changes personally too, still holding back when I should, but working on not being fake either. It's tough.
But I'm reminded time and time again, that it's how we were designed, how our world was designed. So getting back to that, is the real deal.
|Real, not faked, Joy
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers and sisters, keep your thoughts on whatever is right or deserves praise: things that are true, honorable, fair, pure, acceptable, or commendable.
A few days ago I wrote half a blog post that I couldn't get finished for some reason. I was reminded of it this morning, how I'd written about choosing to be happy even in times where that's tough. Here's an excerpt from what I wrote:
"When I was a teenager, the words that could irritate me like no other were "decide to be happy"- usually coming from my dad when something in my teen world wasn't going quite right- and in the life of a teenage girl, things usually aren't. I knew he was right but that didn't make me like it any more."
Well, things aren't going quite right for us this week. It's Christmas, the most magical time, a time I truly love. And today and tomorrow are my favorite days of the year. Tonight's plan was our KidStuf show at church, with Michael and I on stage and our boys in the audience, with our amazing and talented team helping prepare hearts of kids of all ages for Christmas. Then, we were to have dinner with a group of friends we call family, and would end the night with a beautiful candlelight service. Tomorrow morning we'd wake up to the awe and wonder of our boys' faces as they discovered the tree transformed with gifts from Santa and gifts from us. We'd have a relaxing day and one of our favorite meals (a big pot of shrimp boil) before packing the car and making the drive to see Michael's family for a few days. As with every day, especially days like this, we would miss Austin and wish he was there. But it would be a magical time regardless.
|view from the room this morning
Instead, I'm writing from Michael's hospital room yet again, and making sure that all bases are covered for Santa to still visit, and the rest of Christmas Day to be postponed until we're home. We won't be able to reschedule Christmas Eve with our family of friends, or reschedule the trip to West Virginia anytime soon (much too long a drive for a weekend visit, much too expensive to fly and tough to schedule with Drew in school).
Today's a day I truly have to choose to be happy, but I have to dig deeper than just happy. Happy is a feeling that is influenced by circumstances, but Joy is part of who you are. Joy is knowing that no matter the circumstances, no matter the feelings of the moment, your soul has peace. I could get away with giving into the disappointment today, it's understandable. But I won't. I choose joy.
I'm joyful for the reason for Christmas, for a savior who was born to change the world. I'm joyful for the promises made that no matter our circumstances, there is reason for joy.
All around us there are people needing to choose joy because of things happening that make it so difficult. I see it here- from staff who will be working, to families wishing they were anywhere else. I see it in those I love who are missing someone or are struggling to provide. But I've seen people choosing joy already today- nurses and food services staff who are cheerful and give no clue they'd rather be home, and family members wishing Merry Christmas to those they see. And we have many around us choosing to help us find joy by loving us in their own ways, as they have so many times. What I've realized, is that when we choose joy for ourselves, we can't help but spread it to others as well.
Merry Christmas my friends, what a joyous day it is.

It is easy to convince yourself that getting rid of those unwanted excess pounds of fat is just not going to happen for you. Not because you have not tried. You have. But each time the result of going on a new diet or exercise program has been to end up where you started.
That's not only not much fun, it demoralizes you and makes it that much more likely you'll give up the next time at an even earlier stage.
Failure tends to follow on failure. It's exactly the kind of spiral that sucks ships to the bottom of the ocean and keeps you from imagining real weight loss success.
Instead, what you need to do is break the cycle. Instead of allowing your subconscious mind to convince you that you are wasting your time trying to lose weight (because you've already been down this road and look where it has got you every other time) you need to recalibrate your thinking.
But you cannot do this simply by repeating to yourself that this time it is going to be different. That kind of positive thinking is great for STARTING your latest plan of action, but it won't provide you with a whole lot of staying power.
Here's what will. It is called The Weight Loss Motivation Bible.
It is a comprehensive system for reprogramming your subconscious mind so that you are always highly motivated to lose that excess weight. The author is Carolyn Hansen, a former bodybuilding champion who has been involved in the fitness industry for more than 30 years.
She believes that the number one factor that keeps people from reaching their weight loss goals is that they do not realize that their mind is constantly working against them, sabotaging their efforts to get into better shape. She says this goes on WITHOUT their knowledge, so it is really difficult to combat without proper instruction.
Imagine for a moment that you have a dual personality, and that one of the personalities has no idea that the other one is constantly slipping in subliminal messages to control the actions of the other. That's exactly what Carolyn Hansen says is going on with most people who are unable to lose weight. They don't realize they are carrying around a second "weight loss personality" that does not respect your desire to make changes to your body.
You need to flush that personality out, says Carolyn, and replace it with one that knows how to motivate and encourage you. That's how you achieve the kind of trim, vibrant body that you know is buried beneath those unsightly pounds of unwanted body fat.
If you want to exorcise that uncooperative weight loss personality from your subconscious mind, she says, read her book: The Weight Loss Motivation Bible.

Discussion in 'General Parenting' started by gcvmom, Feb 12, 2009.
Did you survive? Is she still torturing you or have things settled down?
The field trip went well... every one had fun. She's calmed down a lot. I think she understands that I'm so upset because she could have avoided this... she let bratty behavior (not gfgedness) lead to her mother of a meltdown. She understands that it was completely unacceptable and won't be tolerated in the future.
Thanks for asking.
That's good to hear easy child gives me a run for my money with similar behaviors. And usually a stern heart-to-heart chat with mom sets her straight again. But gee, wouldn't it be nice if we could just skip the drama and cut to the good behavior part? Sheesh!

In a surprise move, the administrators of the official website for renowned Saudi singer Muhammad Abduh, affectionately known as singer of the Arabs, have decided to permanently cancel the site. In addition, all video and audio material for the singer has been removed from the web and the official pages for the singer on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have all been shot down.
A press release was posted on the official website for the singer in which the administrators wished all the members of the site a very happy Ramadan and repeatedly said that by the will of God, the site has achieved tremendous success and all the goals that were initially placed by the administrators were met but everything that has a beginning also has an end.
It was said that Muhammad Abduh has nothing to do with shutting down the website and the decision was made solely by the administrators.
No specific reasons were given regarding what led to cancel all the internet pages for the singer. The move is truly baffling considering that YouTube's viewing statistics showed that over 17 million views were made of Abduh's videos.

The photos are also just stunning, showing off Jennifer's natural beauty.
Looking good J-Law!

These videos are short and won't cover the whole match and all of the pre-match findings and analyses. What are frequently included in baseball movie shows are generally the best aspects of the fit, the objectives that built the difference and the moves that caught the fancy of the ability crowd. Baseball films that can be considered on these various internet sites are only perfect for the busy and who has confined time for you to invest in amusement and the sports.
One of the very common demands when looking for PC software is the capability to watch baseball on PC and laptop screens. Now I do not find out about you but I am a huge baseball lover, and love to view any games that are being screened, so having been suggested to see satellite TV pc software for my computer I started looking for what deal presents the most bang for my buck.
PC satellite TV pc software fundamentally presents you the ability to view shows, activity, media, children TV, music, and virtually any different leisure that you can believe of. That looks good but a very important factor to keep yourself updated of is that not all packages are the same. Some cost monthly costs ดูบอลสด, a few are low quality, and many do not provide excellent channels.
As i am perhaps not a really techno-savvy person I also needed to get software which was easy to install, didn't desire a satellite TV expert to startup, and didn't involve further hardware or pc software to use. This really is also a significant consideration as the past thing you need would be to go out and obtain a satellite bowl following purchasing the software.
Following lots of looking and reading several opinions of PC satellite TV deals I came across the application that I however use everyday and am very happy with. Not only does the application have a low one-time payment (something I particularly wanted), but inaddition it provided around 4000 routes from the key networks. The program works completely with a gradual net connection so there's no problem for anyone who does not have broadband. The software is also immediately available via get and could be setup and ready in only a few momemts without extra hardware or computer software needed.
To be able to watch live football on PC for such a low cost is great, and the software works perfectly every time. Though there are numerous plans available I'd really suggest you invest in what I contemplate to be the best software, rather than take to several the others to only end up unhappy and out of pocket.
The pleasure in the air as you strategy the stadium on match times is completely palpable. Viewing legions of fans of all ages and sexes congregate at the popular Nou Camp will give you goose bumps. It's wonderful to behold and know what a uniting power a baseball staff can be, and once the fit finally commences, the joy just can't be contained. The electricity in the environment cannot be denied. You are positive to find your self inundated by the enthusiasm and enjoyment around you.
What do persons get from such passionate fanaticism? If nothing otherwise, supporting this kind of effective and popular group thinks nothing lacking fantastic. The participants can always be measured on to deliver an extraordinary performance. The remarkable trinity of Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta is generally enough to promise an epic game. Messi, particularly, will get entirely sublime at times.

The legal world and the tech world are colliding in a controversy that may affect the way that smartphones are used and criminal investigations are conducted in the future. This issue raises questions of law enforcement and technology, the answers to which will affect our privacy, safety and security, no matter which side wins.
The issue arose after the FBI began to investigate the shootings by Syed Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik in San Bernardino, California last December that killed 14 people and wounded 22 others.
As part of the criminal investigation into the shootings, the FBI recovered an iPhone that was used by Farook. That iPhone is owned by Farook's employer, the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, which has given the FBI permission to access the data on the phone.
The FBI has retrieved some data from the iPhone by accessing Farook's iCloud account, though the latest back up occurred on October 19, 2015, about six weeks before the shooting. But the FBI wants access to all data on the phone to conduct a thorough investigation. Neither the FBI nor Apple knows whether any relevant information exists on the phone.
On February 16, 2016, a court order was issued, requiring Apple to cooperate with the FBI's investigation of the San Bernardino attack. After that order was issued, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, issued a statement saying that Apple would not comply with that order.
Why the FBI Can't Access Data on the iPhone
The FBI needs Apple's help to access data on Farook's phone. Since iOS 8 was launched in September 2015, the iPhone has offered an auto-erase setting that users can enable that will automatically erase all data from the phone after 10 failed attempts to enter a passcode. This security feature is designed to protect data from being stolen by someone in possession of the phone.
Without this auto-erase feature, someone could continuously try to guess the passcode until the phone was unlocked with the correct one, giving access to data on the phone.
If the FBI were to enter the passcode incorrectly 10 times, all data on the iPhone would be permanently erased.
What Does the FBI Want From Apple?
The FBI wants to conduct a thorough investigation of the crime, including discovering the data on Farook's iPhone. According to James Comey, Director of the FBI, "We simply want the chance, with a search warrant, to try to guess the terrorist's passcode without the phone essentially self-destructing and without it taking a decade to guess correctly. That's it."
Essentially, the FBI wants Apple to disable the auto-erase feature on Farook's iPhone. The FBI has not asked Apple to provide the FBI with software that disables the auto-erase feature. Instead, the FBI has stated that Apple can retain sole possession of the software after the auto-erase feature has been disabled.
According to Comey, this investigation "is about the victims and justice. Fourteen people were slaughtered and many more had their lives and bodies ruined. We owe them a thorough and professional investigation under law. That's what this is. The American people should expect nothing less from the FBI."
Why Apple Is Fighting the Court Order
Apple is disputing the court order granting FBI's request to disable the auto-erase feature from Farook's iPhone. Apple says that the software to disable the auto-erase feature doesn't exist and that it shouldn't be forced to create the software.
Apple CEO Cook published A Special Message to Our Customers explaining Apple's position. "Specifically, the FBI wants us to make a new version of the iPhone operating system, circumventing several important security features, and install it on an iPhone recovered during the investigation. In the wrong hands, this software — which does not exist today — would have the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone's physical possession."
While the FBI says that this is an isolated case, Apple disagrees. "Building a version of iOS that bypasses security in this way would undeniably create a backdoor. And while the government may argue that its use would be limited to this case, there is no way to guarantee such control."
Police departments around the US have locked iPhones they would like unlocked with Apple's assistance to help them solve crimes.
Apple is concerned that once this software is created, the company could be forced to use it repeatedly, perhaps by hostile foreign governments or criminals. Cook has stated, "Once the process is created, it provides an avenue for criminals and foreign agents to access millions of iPhones. And once developed for our government, it is only a matter of time before foreign governments demand the same tool."
In an interview with ABC News, Cook pointed out how much information people keep on their phones. "There's probably more information about you on your phone than there is in your house. Our smartphones are loaded with our intimate conversations, our financial data, our health records. They're also loaded with the location of our kids, in many cases. So it's not just about privacy, it's about public safety."
Another fear of Apple's is that the government could then force companies to create surveillance software that doesn't currently exist. Apple argues, "For example, if Apple can be forced to write code in this case to bypass security features and create new accessibility, what is to stop the government from demanding that Apple write code to turn on the microphone in aid of government surveillance, activate the video camera, surreptitiously record conversations, or turn on location services to track the phone's user? Nothing."
Apple has cooperated with the FBI to a certain extent. In his letter to customers Cook said, "Apple complies with valid subpoenas and search warrants, as we have in the San Bernardino case. We have also made Apple engineers available to advise the FBI, and we've offered our best ideas on a number of investigative options at their disposal."
The FBI's Response to Apple's Claims
The FBI acknowledges Cook's claim in his letter to customers that Apple would be required to create new software, but argues that Apple is the only company who is able to write this software.
The FBI says that their request relates exclusively to Farook's iPhone and that it is not asking Apple to hand over the software to the FBI. "Apple may maintain custody of the software, destroy it after its purpose under the Order have been served, refuse to disseminate it outside of Apple, and make clear to the world that it does not apply to other devices or users without valid court orders."
Apple's claim that the software, once created, could fall into criminal hands is also disputed by the FBI. "No one outside Apple would have access to the software required by the Order unless Apple chose to share it."
The FBI also challenges Apple's claim that the request violates privacy rights, pointing out that "the former user of the phone is dead and no longer has any expectation of privacy in the phone and the owner of the phone consents both to the search of the phone and to Apple's assistance."
The Next Steps
On March 1 the US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee will begin holding a hearing on the issue. The judicial hearing on the legal case is scheduled for March 22.
As this dispute involves public and personal safety, privacy rights and the future of technology, expect much continued discussion and legal proceedings in the months and years to come.

Ranchi, April 24: External affairs minister and BJP candidate from Hazaribagh Yashwant Sinha today took on the Election Commission, finding faults in the way polls are held.
Sinha complained of largescale booth-capturing and bogus voting in Hazaribagh, which went to the polls on April 20.
At a news conference at the state party headquarters here, Sinha said the Election Commission would have to promote fresh thinking to find solutions to practical problems in conducting free and fair polls.
Sinha said there was a difference between peaceful and impartial polls, adding that there could be something called silent booth-capturing.
Claiming that many bonafide voters with photo-identity cards were seen searching for booths in Hazaribagh, Sinha said besides irregularities, several practical problems came to light in his constituency.
Though full of flaws, the photo-identity card served no purpose when the voter was debarred from casting his franchise. Vehicles are not allowed to ply on the polling day, but booths of many voters were 5-7 km away from their homes. Many women had to return due to the heavy rush while many complained of bogus voting. Some preferred not to cast their votes due to the cumbersome process involved, he said.
Sinha raised several objections, including why political parties had given serial numbers and booth numbers to voters and why couldnt the poll panel allot the same. Why were elections held during summers, why were buildings used as polling booths and why were permanent polling booths not created with focus on the facilities of voters, Sinha asked.
He also demanded a simple a voting process and wanted to know why there were no special arrangements for women, who often have to return without voting due to heavy rush at polling booths.
I am compiling the problems and will raise the issue with central leaders in Delhi. A report will be submitted to the CEC so that the shortcomings can be removed, he said. This issue is not related to any party, all parties need to discuss the seriousness of the problems related to voting, he added.
I personally feel that there should be permanent polling booths. Elections are a regular feature in a democratic set-up and instead of using any building as a polling booth, there should be permanent booths providing required facilities to voters. The polling booth could be used for other purposes when elections are not being held, he said.
Sinha was confident that the BJP would win the remaining eight seats as people liked Atal Bihari Vajpayee as an individual and NDA as an institution.
The BJP is in a fight in all the 14 seats. We are in a position to win all the 14 seats. The next government in Delhi will alsobe of NDA under Atal Bihari Vajpayee, he claimed.

Has anyone ever given an apple to one of their teachers?
Or does anyone ever still do that?
that's all. Just wondering is this still exists today.
Has anyone ever given an apple to one of their teachers?
Or does anyone ever still do that?
that's all. Just wondering is this still exists today.
I give all my teachers ipads.
yeah after i dip my balls in their mouth
oooooh Jeff
No, was I supposed to?
I gave a teacher an ink pen I had messed with (in replacement of one he had broken while being angry at me), mixing some acid in the ink. Plan was he'd write with it and it'd make holes in the paper and oooh the fun. Needless to say, it didn't go as planned.
I didn't know that was really a thing. Except, like, in the little house on the prairie or something. Never seen or heard of anyone in real life who did it.
haha yeah thats why I was asking if that ever really happen.
iRocko told me he gave chocolates to his teacher before (suck up) :P
It's impossible not to look smug whilst eating an apple. Smugness is doubled if the apple eater is reading a book simultaneously.
yep. i used to in grade school
then i did it again once in college.
acid right?
I was thinking about the ol razor blade inside the apple gag
yeah that got me once
i've never eaten an apple again
because eden and snakes
are you doing this for a backpack design!?!? because I was thinking the same thing, except with worms inside... DANG.
great minds think alike, I guess!
I'm going with plan B, then!
nah go ahead!!! apple/ worms/ teachers its not a ground breaking new concept, you should take a stab at it
nah. Arzie already has a watermelon up there. I think another fruit would just be redundant...
(I'm kinda scared of the atrium voters. of the atrium, in general.)
We used to get a fake apple and sign it as a class for our teachers. but gave them cookies for the holidays, and/or to keep from failing grades ;)
a teacher once accused me of eating her cake. But I came late so when she realised it was someone else she said she knew I would have eaten it if i didn't come to class late :|
buahahaha thats kinda messed up
just realized how much of an asshole my last post made me sound...
anything you'd do would be light years ahead of my current abilities. that being said, the simple apple concept--because it's not a new idea--requires a bang-up visual. you could do that, i'm sure.
Nothing says "I really appreciate you" like the gift of an apple.
Wait there's a razor-in-an-apple trick?

Obviously the O3 is too light for me but it still played very well. slight twisting on shots because of the weight but like the TW review said, power is there when you want. However, I wasn't trying very hard to keep the ball in. Control was quite good. The sound coming off the ball is a thud, not pingy. I prefer this. overall, I felt very good on my groundstrokes, w/o fear of hitting out. Playability was surprising.

Director's Kut's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, on Star Plus, just witnessed a track wherein Naitik (Karan Mehra) is shown getting back to being stable after regaining consciousness.
Looks like the upcoming episodes will witness loads of drama as it will be replete with festive flavor.
Our source informs us that Naitik, who was in coma since the last five years, missed all the festivals and close moments with his family. Now that he is back to senses, the family has decided to celebrate each and every festival all over again. Coming episodes will see family members preparing for Diwali celebrations.
On the other hand, Naksh (Shivansh Kotiyan) feels insecure and neglected because everyone in the family is taking utmost care of Naitik. But Akshara (Hina Khan) explains him that his father loves him too.
When contacted, Karan Mehra remained unavailable for comment. Later, when we contacted Pooja Joshi, who essays the role of Varsha, revealed that the show is up for an exciting twist post Naitik regaining consciousness.

But when you do find one you can't live without, and have regularly used it for 30 days or so, I wouldn't be surprised if you told me that grill was the Char-Broil Performance Infrared 480 3-burner.
Char-Broil Performance Series vs Commercial Series
There are a number of standalone Char-Broil grills to choose from in their product lines, priced according to build quality and features. The Commercial Char-Broil Series might look real good, but the Performance Series has more of the right balance between power, size, and build within a reasonable price range. It has the TRU-Infrared (was upgraded recently), which is Char-Broil's radiant heat patented cooking design.
TRU-Infrared isn't in every Char-Broil grill, but the one that does (the 3-burner Char-Broil Performance TRU Infrared gas grill) was at one point $230.
What you learn from their website's little manufacturer blurb: Corrugated metal-built grills have more than one layer for heat to disperse and for the prevention of flare-ups and hot-spots.
Also, Char-Broil claims the grill can potentially consume 30% less in propane with the help of its design.
You'll notice a barrier on the grill between the upper corrugated steel and the gas flame. The upper grill is heated by the radiation of the flame barrier. The corrugated grill is far from unimpressive. It's pretty slick, and other grills aren't like it as far as something falling through.
The steel on it is corrugated with one side showing slits (no gaped wire here). Heat is evenly dispersed due to the corrugated steel and grill drippings won't seep through (flaring up and junking the burners or starting fire).
A Grill that shouldn't take very long to build
That's what you're left with, after getting the box opened. And, the parts in the grill that are most sensitive- the gas connections and firebox- are connected already at the assembly shop (no worries there).
For assembly, it's mostly putting together the wheels and lower stand. Char-Broil made it easy to build the thing in one piece. It has diagram formatted instructions and the designers of the grill included all the hardware needed in a sealed, separate package with a backing that pushes out. Just match the instructional drawing to the letter of the piece, then find the correct screw or bolt to connect with. Easy peasy.
The stand's most admirable aspect has to be its sturdiness. The frame is secured by the (many) screws of the front panels, and there's a handful of pieces specifically for bracing the grill (you won't get that dreaded wobble and lean).
The stand's base is attached to a weight to keep the grill anchored. After it was assembled, I was pleased to find the stand leveled.
One feature of the Char Broil Performance 3-burner that's nice is how its four wheels individually spin (locking casters come with two of them), rather than styled as a type of "lift-and-wheel" for portability. This is for flexibility to maneuver and roll the grill, on top of locking it down (won't be out of place). They contain metal casters with a plastic, hard wheel. You can screw the wheels easily into the legs of the stand with a caster pin provided.
It's recommended in the assembly section of the instructions to have two sets of hands for lifting the firebox up on the stand. From what I've learned, you probably will be able to do it all on your own without the extra help.
Once you secure the firebox onto the stand, the two side shelves need to be then attached. A gas burner (in the style of a stove-top) is built into the left shelf (have this side attached loosely until the gas connection of the burner is secured). The outer edge of the shelves features holes for (separately purchased) accessories.
The Propane- Getting it Connected
This isn't complicated at all. The floor of the stand's base has this hole to snugly fit the bottom of a standard tank of liquid propane into. Secure it with a butterfly nut to the unit's stand so it's more stable. The gasworks of the firebox has been assembled beforehand except for the connections of the tank regulator and side burner.
As earlier mentioned, you'll need the shelf screwed loosely with slack to get the gas-work hardware on the side burner connected. But by the time you do, just have everything tightened up, take the security clip provided and attach it (so things are kept tight) and there's nothing more to the main part of construction.
It's a unit that's great as a standalone that can easily be tucked away beneath the stairs of your deck. It doesn't hog up space, not overly expensive, nor a headache.
I think the Char-Broil for many will be just the ticket. It fits many criteria: sized good, build is not just normal, but tougher, it's easy to use, portable, and not even $300. Spoiler alert: Find it for this much.
Last on the list, the grill's starter needs the electrical work routed. Most of it is pre-run wiring and you need to only run one that's specific to the side burner. The stand is easily attached to the starter and the wires all lead to it. Once they're snapped in, the connection business is done along with assembling the grill.
Now lay the grill grates and burner plates in the firebox, and you're all set! Three cooking/grilling sections in the grill are controlled individually. A burner with 10,000 BTU is equipped in each section. The BTU of the side burner is also 10,000, totaling an output of 40k BTU.
The grill easily ignites. Connect the hand tightening standard valve with the gas regulator, then get the gas flowing by opening the tank of propane.
Then, get the starter pressed on so you hear clicking from the electric spark as the first burner is turned to High. It gets lit… whoosh!, right up. What's left to turn on are the remaining two burners and they automatically light up from their burner neighbor. The box quickly gets hot. A thermometer comes with the unit for every cooking area and even though the tuning won't be super fine, it gets the job done A-OK.
There wasn't much to it when it came to cleanup. The cover- close it. Grillings in excess- burn 'em up. The grill itself- turn it off. When that's taken care of, just lift the three grills out and run the grill's provided cleaning tool above the garbage bin. No more to it.

Let's knock this one right out. Thanks.
RESIDENTS of Blackalls Park have added their voice to the chorus of disaffected Hunter communities calling for a solution to growing bat populations in urban areas.
The residents have been battling the noise, smell, pollution and health impacts of a grey-headed flying fox colony of more than 10,000 that has taken up residence on a reserve between Fennell Crescent and Stony Creek. They want a review of the 'do not disturb' policy on bat colonies.
"The noise is unbelievable, the stench is intolerable and the droppings are everywhere," Fennell Crescent resident Brian Johnson said.
"The screeching goes on all night between midnight and dawn, so everyone who lives around here is sleep-deprived. I've had two cars resprayed, my metal roof is ruined, I can't use the swimming pool and my neighbours can't eat the vegetables from their gardens any more."
Mr Johnson first brought the growing colony to the attention of authorities four years ago but said his complaints "fell on deaf ears" because flying foxes were a protected species. The Office of Environment and Heritage, which regulates species management, does not generally support the forced relocation of flying fox camps.
Residents are escalating their campaign with a petition and Mr Johnson last week wrote to state and federal MPs calling on them to push for a strategy to control urban bat populations.
His request has the support of federal Member for Hunter Joel Fitzgibbon, who is seeking a Senate inquiry into flying fox problems in the Hunter, including colonies in Singleton, Lorn, Cessnock and Newcastle.
"The inquiry will provide senators with the opportunity to test the science which underpins the 'protected species' designation for the grey-headed flying fox," Mr Fitzgibbon said in an email.
Local state Member Greg Piper, who visited the Blackalls Park colony on Friday, indicated he would take the community's case to Environment Minister Mark Speakman.
"The bat problem is now in such numbers that the government needs to come up with strategies that will help communities and councils manage it," he said.
Lake Macquarie City Council, which owns the land occupied by the Blackalls Park colony, said it had applied for a grant to undertake vegetation management to increase the buffer between residents and the camp.

Dear Shareholders,
Vedanta has delivered strong operational performance in FY 2015-16 with relentless focus on cost discipline and improved productivity across all our operations that enabled us to deliver strong earnings and record cash flow. As a result, your Company reduced debt and strengthened its ability to withstand volatility in the tough and challenging commodities market during the year. Vedanta achieved all of this, while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital expenditure and cost optimisation.
Our total capital expenditure reduced significantly and our operations generated record free cash flow of ₹ 11,572 Crore after growth capex. During the period, we evaluated our operating cost structures that resulted in significant efficiency improvements; and we delivered US$ 250 mn this year against our stated target of delivering US$ 1.3 bn cost savings over four years.
Vedanta is consistently one of the largest contributors to the exchequer – to the tune of ₹ 20,600 Crore in FY 2015-16. During the year, we invested ₹ 160 Crore in our extensive CSR programmes across our global business locations, partnering with over 200 NGOs, local governments, hospitals and academic institutions on socio-economic development projects that benefited around 1.75 mn people.
At Vedanta, we believe in supporting developmental goals of local communities and governments. Our Nandghar project is an extension of this belief, which will enable women and children to have a facility for education and entrepreneurship opportunities at their doorsteps. We will construct 4,000 modern Anganwadis (state-of-the-art facilities) over three years. These facilities will be built with innovative technology, solar panels, toilets, and will provide safe drinking water, e-learning and healthcare. In the first phase, 25 lakh community members will benefit from this project.
I am confident that we are creating need-based programmes for community wellbeing, thus contributing to Vedanta's efforts towards nation building.
The health and safety of our employees continues to be at the top of our agenda. However, despite our best efforts to achieve a zero-harm culture, we had nine fatalities during the year. It is an imperative that we bring considerable improvement in our safety record. Our teams are working towards ushering in global best practices to ensure a safe working environment.
We are committed to India's focus on alleviating climate change. We have signed the Paris Pledge for action and are updating our carbon strategy, seeking innovative ways to reduce carbon emissions at our power plants.
I commend my teams as everyone at Vedanta has contributed to the Company's growth and their commitment, dedication and sheer hard work is indeed an inspiration.
FY 2015-16 was a year in which we achieved record production of aluminium, power, copper cathodes and zinc at Zinc India. We began the ramp-up of our capacities at aluminium and iron ore, and operationalised our entire power portfolio of 9,000 MW. The ramp-up of capacities at our Aluminium, Iron Ore and Power businesses should deliver us over 60% volume growth in copper equivalent terms, and will drive strong free cash flows and maximise shareholder returns.
One of the highlights of the year was breaking ground at the Gamsberg project in South Africa, marking the commencement of activities at one of the world's largest undeveloped zinc deposits.
This year, we resumed production at our iron ore operations in Goa, and we are positioned in the first quartile of the global cost curve. In addition, we gained approval to use power generated from three units of the Jharsuguda power plant for captive use, and received environmental clearance to expand Lanjigarh alumina refinery's capacity. The removal of export duties on lower grades of iron ore and the increase in aluminium import duty will boost competitiveness and growth.
I am proud of the significant progress that we have made in improving our operational efficiency and optimising costs. This is part of a continuous journey and we will take further steps over the coming year, leveraging the adoption of new technologies and encouraging a culture of innovation among our people.
During the year, we announced a new project in the Make in India initiative of the Government of India, to create a 240-acre aluminium park next to our Jharsuguda smelter. This will serve as a market for downstream products and generate more than 17,000 jobs.
We are committed to India's focus on alleviating climate change. We have signed the Paris Pledge for action and are updating our carbon strategy, seeking innovative ways to reduce carbon emissions at our power plants. Our dedication to environmental sustainability was recognised twice this year; CII's Sustainable Plus – the world's first and only corporate sustainable label – awarded us the Sustainability Plus Platinum Label (BBB rating), and we were listed on the Indian Climate Disclosure Leadership Index in recognition of our disclosure of information on climate change.
At Vedanta, we look forward to FY 2016-17 as a very exciting year ahead. We remain committed to delivering value for our shareholders, employees, communities and other stakeholders through our diversified portfolio of large, longlife and low-cost assets. In line with our stated strategy of simplifying our corporate structure, we aim to complete the merger of Vedanta Limited and Cairn India.
I express my gratitude for the sound guidance and contribution of my fellow Directors. I commend my teams as everyone at Vedanta has contributed to the Company's growth and their commitment, dedication and sheer hard work is indeed an inspiration. As we continue to navigate our journey of improvement, let us together amplify our rich heritage, continue building a united approach, celebrate our diverse roots and be the leader to create value for all our stakeholders.

At the first hole at Congressional Country Club yesterday, Anthony Kim struck his iron shot a foot from the hole, tapped in for birdie and took the lead from Tiger Woods in his own tournament. No respect. In your face, boyhood hero or not.
By the time the pair, playing head-to-head in the final group, walked off the fourth green, the throngs in a crowd of 43,936 that packed the gallery ropes six-deep were in a frenzy. Most screamed "Tiger, Tiger," as he passed, as if that one word ought to be enough. Others yelled, "Come on, A.K., you can take him down."
There have been quieter middleweight championship fights. But then Tiger against A.K. felt like a heavyweight fight. For about an hour.
Then, gradually, everything changed, as it has for so many potential challengers to Woods when they finally meet him in the flesh. Or, rather, when they meet the utterly impersonal almost mythological figure, always in black-and-red on Sunday, who barely seems to know they are there, who seldom glances at their swing and who says the least words possible. Only on the course, where the Woods grin and jock jokes suddenly stop, do you meet the real Tiger, who thinks you are nobody, nothing, an interloper in his table-for-one rubber room. If you respect him or, worse, hold him a hero, the burden becomes yours.
Then, after he was won, he changes again. The 10-mile gaze, the trance that he calls "going into my own little world," disappears. His face refocuses at close range. The guy you liked so much on the practice green, when he told you he'd just text-messaged his buddy Roger Federer, right after Wimbledon, to say, "Great job. Now it's my turn," that fellow is suddenly back, smiling at you. And you're left to figure out how to cope with two Tigers -- the killer and the Tour semi-regular guy.
As Woods and Kim walked up the 18th hole, with Woods's ball safely on the final green where his 67 would leave him at 13 under par, with a one-shot win over Hunter Mahan and Kim left four shots back in third place, the 33-year-old host turned to the 24-year-old who is often seen as his most likely challenger in the future.
"I enjoyed it. There will be many more to come," Woods said to Kim, with whom he had never played, not even in practice -- an oddity at the top levels of golf. "Just keep working hard and we'll do this for many more years."
Kim seemed stunned a bit by the whole first encounter with Woods. First came the Kim pleasantries: "I had a lot of fun. It was a good learning experience. I'll be knocking on the door again. It's only a matter of time." Then the frost began to arrive. As defending AT&T National champion, would he be presenting Woods with the prize? Kim just glared, then, a minute later, made a remark about how he'd never even played a practice round with Woods but, "I don't really care what he's doing. It's about my game."
Funny, Kim looked at Woods all day. Tiger seldom returned the compliment. "I know I can play at the highest level now," Kim said. "My swing still isn't comfortable, but I need better decision making, too. I learned that [when you play Tiger], if you have a birdie putt, you better make it."
Woods may truly believe that, with time, Kim will match his huge talent with a comparable sense of course management. But, if Tiger has anything to do with it, he'll delay that day. Or, perhaps, squelch it in the crib. Tiger studies the great rivalries of the past. He knows their every detail. And he doesn't want to have one. With anybody.
Long after his win, Woods was swapping stories about the upcoming British Open at Turnberry and Tiger recalled the historic two-day head-to-head duel in which Tom Watson (65-65 on the last 36 holes) beat Jack Nicklaus (65-66) by a shot. "What I loved," said Woods, who was barely alive in '77, but studies every scrap of golf tape, "was the way Jack made birdie out of a bush at the 18th hole just so Tom would have to make that last little putt to beat him."
Woods knows all about Nicklaus and Watson. And that's why, though few my guess, it is so important to him that, whenever a possible Watson appears, that he squash him fast. And, for Woods, there has never been a Watson like Kim. When Nicklaus was 33, Watson was 24 and emerging fast, just the same ages as Tiger and Kim. At first, Watson was thought a choker, especially after he blew the 54-hole lead at the '74 U.S. Open at Winged Foot. Back then, nobody looked Jack in the eye, wanted a piece of him or had the requisite cockiness to get under his skin. Then, in '75, at age 25, Watson broke through at the British Open. And the world was never quite the same for Jack.
Watson was, in some golf sense, less than half as good as Jack -- eight major titles to Nicklaus's 18. But Watson didn't care. He just loved to compete, to get his share of the prizes and to thwart Jack as often as he could. And so Watson won a British Open, a U.S. Open and a Masters with Nicklaus alone in second place -- three majors lost. And Watson won another Masters that, if he hadn't existed, would have ended in a Nicklaus-Johnny Miller playoff.
That's just what Tiger doesn't want. And, in this duel he hopes will never develop, he delivered the first blow yesterday. While Kim played driver all day -- partly to out-hit Tiger, but mostly because Kim is a young, half-crazed flag-hunting prodigy -- Woods was content frequently to hit 3-wood or even 5-wood off the tee. By the fifth and sixth holes, Woods's superior course management and self-control began to take a toll. He made par and birdie while Kim, after two wild hooks off the tee, made bogey to fall into a tie, then needed a long par-saving putt just to stay one shot behind Woods.
Once Woods gets you down, protect your neck. At the 145-yard par-three 7th hole, Woods dropped his short-iron shot down the stack to five feet. Kim gamely answered, carving a fade just over the front trap to six feet. But he missed, flipped his putter in disgust like a kid, then missed it when he tried to catch it. Can you say, "Almost over"?
Woods sank his putt for a three-shot lead on Kim. After that, Kim was a figure on the fringes while Woods focused on Mahan, far ahead, who had shot a 62 to post 12 under.
What happened was that, where a 24-year-old might have emotions, Woods just shrugged. "That's just the way it goes," he said. With Kim pretty much neutralized, Woods needed to finish with a bunch of pars and a birdie at the par-five 16th. So, he did. Complete with a 20-foot putt for the decisive stroke, just when he really needed it.
If Kim fades back into the tour pack, this day will make a turning point for the worse in his assault on Mt. Woods. More likely, he will recover. And we may revisit days like this, even some with endings of a different sort.
Until then, we are left with an evening on which Woods, "the greedy host," anointed himself the champion of his own party.
"I remember when I first won Byron [Nelson's] tournament. To have him shake your hand, that's something I'll always remember. Same thing with Arnold and Jack," Woods said. "It was great shaking my hand today. I thoroughly enjoyed that."
It sure beats having to shake somebody else's hand, a fate Woods hates and hopes to delay for years.

Grilled Portabello Steaks with Sun-Dried Tomato Tofu
4 Portabello mushroom caps
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup unsweetened pineapple juice or orange juice
¼ cup Bragg's Liquid Aminos or soy sauce
2 tablespooons chopped green onions (green parts only)
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
Sun-Dried Tomato Tofu
8 ounces extra-firm tofu, cut into ½-inch rectangular slices (2 ounces each)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained
¼ cup sliced black olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Place mushrooms in a glass dish with gills up. Whisk together marinade ingredients in a small bowl, and pour over caps. Marinate at room temperature 30 minutes.
While mushrooms marinate, prepare Sun-Dried Tomato Tofu. Place tofu slices in an 8 x 8-inch baking dish, and drizzle with olive oil. Top with sun-dried tomatoes and olives. Add basil leaves, parsley, and garlic powder. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat oven to broil setting while tofu marinates. Put tofu in the oven and broil for 5-7 minutes. Preheat barbecue grill. When grill is ready, place mushroom caps over heat for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time.
To serve, place grilled mushroom caps on a plate, top with tofu slices, and drizzle a tablespoon or two of the rosemary marinade over all.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size = 1 mushroom cap and 2 ounces of tofu)
Recipe Notes
- Bragg's Liquid Aminos is an alternative to soy sauce that has no added salt or preservatives. It's a certified non-GMO (not genetically modified) liquid protein concentrate, derived from healthy soybeans, that contains 16 essential and non-essential amino acids.
- Soy sauce contains wheat (not whole wheat) and sodium benzoate, which is a preservative. Since the goal of the Daniel Fast is to choose foods that God made instead of man-made, chemically processed foods, technically soy sauce is not allowed. However, some people may choose to modify their fast a bit, and that is totally between you and the Lord. Whatever He is leading you to do, do it. If that means eliminating soy sauce for 21 days, great. If not, that's great, too.

There are a number of ways you can advertise your store through your current auctions, driving traffic to your Ebay store from each listing even if the auction itself doesn't get any bids. Besides current auctions, you can also benefit from completed listings. Completed listings are items that have already sold, whether they've had a successful bidder or not.
First of all, you'll need to run your auction smoothly and have a great title chosen already. Consider your completed items another advertisement for your store. While buyers have to be logged in to view completed listings on Ebay, they can sometimes surface in the search results even after the item is over.
To take the most advantage of this, you should try to have a few links throughout your content to your store. The Auctiva window is an excellent example of how you can advertise your current items in an expired listing. While that item may not be available, the buyer might be interested in an identical or similar item featured in your Auctiva store window. These are free, and will pull some of your current auction items (you can specify which ones you'd like to have featured).
Another way to get buyers to your store from expired auctions is to turn the store listing frame on. This will feature five deep links to categories within your store. In addition to this, you can have a banner and/or text links within the content of every auction that you run. For the best results, try to link to similar categories of your store that the buyer might be interested in. Some captivating copy that entices the buyer to click on your current items can't hurt either. Something like:
"Find our current auction items for brand new Craftsman Power Drills here"
would work perfectly. If you're running an incentive, like free shipping, reduced shipping, a free accessory, or some other promotion, put that into the anchor link text as well. The more reasons you can give them to click, the more traffic you'll receive to your store.
