Boldin, Harvin traded as NFL free agency nears
Send a link to a friend
[March 12, 2013]
On the eve of NFL free agency, trades involving top receivers Anquan Boldin and Percy Harvin grabbed the headlines.
In an odd twist Monday, Boldin went from the Ravens to the San Francisco 49ers, the team he helped Baltimore beat 34-31 in last month's Super Bowl.
Harvin, who expressed his discontent in Minnesota, was sent to Seattle, where he will join former Vikings teammate Sidney Rice.
San Francisco acquired the 32-year-old Boldin for a sixth-round draft pick. Boldin, a star in Baltimore's run to the Super Bowl title last season, must pass a physical to complete the deal.
"Anquan was a great receiver for myself and for our football team," said quarterback Joe Flacco, who signed a six-year, $120.6 million deal with the Ravens last week. "It's sad to see a guy like that go, but at the same time, you want what's best for him and you just wish him the best of luck.
"Anquan was a big part of this football team, a big part of this offense. He's one of the main reasons we won the Super Bowl this year."
Boldin had six catches for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl victory. He had said he'd consider retirement rather than leave Baltimore. But going to the NFC champions might change his mind.
"It's a business, man. Those things are going to happen," Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones said. "I wish Q the best. He's always a Raven with me, and we got something they can't take from us."
Added fellow Baltimore receiver Torrey Smith: "It's not so much about football when you lose someone like that, someone you love like a brother and would do anything for you."
The 24-year-old Harvin, Minnesota's moody and multi-talented receiver, will join the Seahawks for a package of draft picks that includes Seattle's first-round selection next month, No. 25 overall. He also must pass a physical.
Minnesota will also get Seattle's seventh-round pick this year and third-round selection in 2014.
League MVP Adrian Peterson was not thrilled over the news.
"The best all around player I ever seen or you'll ever see! Goes to Seattle! I feel like I just got kicked in the stomach. Several times!!!" Peterson posted on Twitter.
Harvin was producing at an All-Pro level until badly spraining his left ankle last Nov. 4 in a game at Seattle. He was placed on injured reserve a month later. He led the NFL in total yards at the time of his injury.
Harvin, who also has suffered from migraines, will enter the fifth and final season of his rookie deal with a $2.9 million salary that's well under market value
-- unless the Seahawks rework it.
Also Monday:
[to top of second column]
Cornerback DeAngelo Hall was cut by the Redskins, a casualty of the team's NFL-imposed salary cap penalty. Washington is over the cap because of an $18 million sanction for the way it structured contracts during the 2010 uncapped season.
Hall had two years remaining on the six-year, $54 million deal and was due to make $7.5 million in salary in 2013.
The Broncos released nine-year veteran linebacker D.J. Williams, freeing up his $6 million salary in 2013 for other needs. Williams missed nine games while serving a pair of NFL-mandated suspensions last season and was deemed expendable after Wesley Woodyard had a breakout season at weakside linebacker.
Denver also released third quarterback Caleb Hanie, who didn't take a single snap in his one season in Denver, and finalized a three-year deal to keep backup safety David Bruton, their top special teams player.
The Jets signed quarterback David Garrard to back up
-- and provide a challenge to -- starter Mark Sanchez. Garrard has not played in the NFL since 2010. He started 76 games in nine seasons with Jacksonville and played in the 2009 Pro Bowl.
The Cardinals released running back Beanie Wells after four injury-plagued seasons. A first-round pick in 2009, Wells showed flashes of the brilliance he had at Ohio State, but has only played one full season
-- his rookie year.
Wells eclipsed 1,000 yards and scored 10 touchdowns in 2011, but was limited to eight games last season due to turf toe.
Dallas released linebacker Dan Connor and restructured the contracts of guard Mackenzy Bernadeau, defensive tackle Jay Ratliff and cornerback Orlando Scandrick.
Connor was one of seven free agents Dallas added in free agency last offseason. He got a two-year contract and started eight games after Sean Lee and Bruce Carter were injured.
Tennessee placed a second-round tender on center Fernando Velasco before the start of free agency. If another team offers Velasco a contract, the tender allows the Titans to match the offer or receive a second-round selection in April's draft from the team signing the lineman.
Velasco started 16 games for Tennessee last season with 13 at center and three at guard, and he has played in 49 career games for the Titans after signing originally in 2008 as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia.
St. Louis released Quintin Mikell, a strong safety, to clear salary cap space. He was third on the team with 114 tackles and three sacks and three forced fumbles.
Dahl started every game at free safety and had 100 tackles and an interception but struggled in coverage.

ISAT Mission Statement:
ISAT acts as the unified voice for international education in Thailand and as a centre for collective action on behalf of its membership. It serves and strengthens its membership by articulating and promoting high standards of educational quality, ethical practices and student learning.
Core Tasks
- Promoting the 'ISAT Protocol' of its membership
- Encouraging communication and collaboration among membership schools.
- Promoting public awareness of ISAT member schools.
- Supporting professional development, school development and networking for member schools.
- Working with the Government to implement our common resolutions and to support Government policy, and requests which are approved by the ISAT Committee.
The International Schools Association of Thailand (ISAT) was initially established in 1994 to be a link between its five member schools and the Thai Ministry of Education. Today, with 128 member schools, we work with all of the government ministries to build understanding of the benefits of international education in Thailand. However, ISAT is more than just a link between schools and government. Whilst we continue to promote quality international school education, we also go beyond our own member schools to foster quality education in all schools in Thailand. In that sense, ISAT has become a driving force for high education standards in the Kingdom.
The calibre of education offered at the International Schools Association of Thailand's (ISAT) member schools has been recognized by accreditation organizations such as the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), the Council of International Schools (CIS) and Education Development Trust (EDT).
ISAT schools offer a range of curriculums from American, British, International Baccalaureate and other national curriculums such as French, Swiss, Singaporean, Japanese and Korean. A variety of campus and enrollment sizes as well as sports, fine arts and co-curricular offerings at the various schools throughout the country meet the needs and abilities of individual students from diverse backgrounds. Typically students from ISAT schools graduate and attend universities and colleges around the world.
ISAT works closely with its member schools to ensure high standards of education through encouragement of best practices, ethical behaviour and professional development. Whilst representing the member schools to the Thai government, ISAT has worked closely with the Ministry of Education, the Board of Investments (BOI), the Department of International Trade Promotion, and the Office of the Private Education Commission, as well as other departments. ISAT is proud of the fact that some of its member schools have received the prestigious Prime Minister's Award.

When a Lafourche Parish resident from Mexico got into a pickup truck with a man and two women over the weekend, he had no idea of their intention to rob him or the violent turn things would take, Terrebonne detectives said.
When a Lafourche Parish resident from Mexico got into a pickup truck with a man and two women over the weekend, he had no idea of their intention to rob him or the violent turn things would take, Terrebonne detectives said.
Sergio Castellano, 22, 238 222nd St., Golden Meadow, met the trio at a Houma bar Saturday night, Terrebonne Sheriff Jerry Larpenter said.
The three lured him to their truck with the promise of "female companionship," then the man shot Castellano as they were driving, Larpenter said.
"We believe the initial plan was to rob" Castellano, Larpenter said.
All three have been arrested and are charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and obstruction of justice, police said.
Castellano moved to Lafourche Parish four years ago and has been working here on a visa ever since, Terrebonne sheriff's Capt. Dawn Foret said. U.S. Customs identified Castellano by his fingerprints.
Troy Jackson, 26, 4774 N. Bayou Black Drive, is accused of actually shooting Castellano, detectives said.
Ciegie Cheramie, 25, of Ovett, Miss., was the first arrested after deputies heard Sunday morning that a woman was in east Houma with a dead body in her car, the Sheriff's Office said. Deputies found her, but discovered that Castellano's body had been discarded Sunday morning on Bayou Sale Road, which runs between Cocodrie and Dulac. Detectives found his body, covered with weeds a few feet off the road that afternoon.
The third person charged is Brandy Perdue, 18, 274 Meadows Drive, Destrehan. St. Charles Parish deputies found Jackson and Perdue, who are boyfriend and girlfriend, at Perdue's mother's St. Charles home Monday, Larpenter said. They were questioned and arrested.
Detectives say all three of them intended to rob Castellano, which makes them all guilty of murder too, Larpenter said.
"They're all considered murderers, just like the guy that pulled the trigger, due to the fact that they're in the commission of a felony, of an armed robbery," the sheriff said.
He compared it to two robbers who go into a store. If one of them has a gun and fatally shoots the cashier, both robbers are automatically charged with murder, he said.
"All they (prosecutors) have to prove is the intent to rob," Larpenter said.
When asked if the "female companionship" they offered referred to sex, Larpenter said he "wouldn't go that far," but declined to offer details.
"They were looking for a victim. It didn't matter who it was," Larpenter said.
Larpenter asked that anyone with information about the case call the Sheriff's Office at 876-2500.
Cheramie is in the Terrebonne Parish jail in lieu of a $1 million bond. A judge had not set bond for Jackson and Perdue as of this morning, deputies said.
Cheramie told her father and half-sister that she was coming to Terrebonne Parish to visit her 5-year-old son, who lives with his father since their divorce, family members said. They both said they discouraged her from making the trip.
"I know she kind of ran with a rough crowd down there," said her half-sister Jonnah Walters, 23, also of Ovett.
This is the second murder in Terrebonne Parish this year. Bernard Baker, 29, was shot several times Jan. 26 during an attempted robbery in Schriever and later died at the hospital, the Sheriff's Office said.
Staff Writer Katie Urbaszewski can be reached at 448-7617 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

This warmer weather has me thinking about spending long days in the mountains, hiking and fishing. These early morning excursions mean one thing: breakfast burritos.
Nothing gives me the energy to get up and go like that quintessential New Mexico combination of eggs, meat, potatoes, cheese and chile, all packaged in a flour tortilla. Being a Midwestern transplant, my previous experience with breakfast burritos was limited to those sorry excuses that popped up on the McDonald's menu during the early '90s, but now, after living here for 10 years, I consider myself to be something of a connoisseur (I didn't become "The Fat Man" by accident, trust me).
So, I decided to do a rundown of some of the breakfast burritos in town. To those readers who might suggest that my methodologies are flawed, let me say this: my methodologies are flawed. I admit that this is not a true apples-to-apples comparison; however, I have established some ground rules for the competition.
First, only handheld burritos are allowed. This means smothered burritos from The Pantry are off limits.
Second, meat selection is based on the recommendation of the person taking orders at each restaurant.
Lastly, each one has to be Christmas. Any little burro shop worth its salt needs to serve up kick-ass red and green.
I also wanted to sample burritos from the three typical establishments that serve them: the taco stand, the drive-thru and the sit-down restaurant. This is an equal opportunity competition, after all.
The results:
Coming in third and taking home the bronze is El Parasol (1833 Cerrillos Road, 995-8015) for its bacon/Xmas breakfast burrito ($5.30).
I know this will come as a shock to many readers, but while I would put their chicken and guac tacos up against any in town, their breakfast burrito is a bit of a disappointment. That said, the red and green chiles are both tasty, and together, they add a nice amount of flavor and heat without burning the roof of your mouth. Yet the burrito as a whole is a bit of a textural nightmare: the eggs are grainy, the bacon is overly crisp and the potatoes are mushy, making each successive bite less and less exciting.
The silver medal goes to Tune Up Café (115 Hickox St., 983-7060) for its hand-held turkey sausage/Xmas burrito ($7.25). The sausage contains a heavy dose of sage, creating a country-meets-campo vibe. But the eggs are the stars of the show—they are well seasoned and have a light, omelet-like consistency.
Tune Up's burrito also includes other pleasant surprises, like red potato home fries and Jack cheese, which adds a nice creaminess without an overly imposing cheese flavor. The chiles might be a little bland, but a splash or two of hot sauce remedies that.
The gold medal winner (drumroll please) is the Polish sausage/Xmas breakfast burrito ($6.25) from El Chile Toreado (950 Cordova Road, 500-0033). Owner Luis Medina's face lights up as soon as I order it. "You can't find this anywhere else in town," he assures.
Located across from the South Capitol office complex, El Chile Toreado is the worst-kept secret in state government. This tiny stand turns out big flavors and tasty eats.
"I always tell people, 'If it's not good, at least it's big,'" Medina jokes as he wraps the hulking beast in tin foil.
Toreado's breakfast burrito outshines the competition in almost every category. The polish sausage is great—small, crispy cubes of salty, greasy pork. The tortilla is simultaneously toasted and chewy. The eggs are stellar, too, with green chile and onions cooked right in. But even with all these great components, it's the chiles that set this contender apart: They're not your traditional red and green.
The red is a cross between New Mexico red and chile de árbol salsa, while the green is a raw salsa made from fresh cilantro and jalapeños. The green chile adds brightness and heat, while the red imparts a smoky, roasted flavor that plays well with others. (To-go cups of extra chile are available upon request.)

The breeze soon picked up to 15-18 knots and as crews put in a determined effort some had their hopes dashed when sails began to rip, spinnaker launches became tangled and a few almighty broaches saw their confidence dwindle and chances go by the way.
Right from the very beginning Neil Pryde's Hi-Fidelity got the better of Peter Ahern's YO! and went on to put in a very polished performance to finish up only 27 seconds behind the Burns/Kinmonth pacesetter Mandrake. After applying handicaps Hi-Fidelity scored a resounding win by almost 4 minutes to even up the score withYO! who just scraped into second place by a mere 4 seconds from Mandrake. The score ended up tied on 12 points apiece so after a count back Neil Pryde added another King's Cup to his collection.
Premier Cruising
A late charge by Richard Grimes on Yendys saw them pick up 2 wins and jump to the top of the leader board. Brian Hayden's early leader Vida finished 2nd after 2 mid-fleet finishes and Marcel Liedts powerful Hocux Pocux 2 ended up 3rd after not being able to convert his line honours victories into handicap wins.
The new Buzz 8 skippered by Geoff Backshall scored 6 bullets in a row to win a King's Cup on their first serious outing since being launched in Pattaya last month. CEO of DK Yachts, Hannes Waimer sailed into 2nd place and leapfrogged David Bell's Fremantle 8 Pink Pussy Cat for second overall after the latter finished well down the order today. Despite some huge broaches Stuart Harrison's Panic ended up third today which was not enough to overtake Pink Pussy Cat's third spot on the overall leaderboard. Allot has been said about the Buzz 8's walkover victory but my observations on the water saw them sail very well to be up with the leaders or even in front of the faster Mum 30's at the top mark and run deeper downwind with a conventional spinnaker to cover less ground than the Phuket 8's with their asymmetrical kites.
Despite John Vause's Ruby Tuesday recording a 3rd place today they have done enough in the earlier races to clinch the overall title. After being involved in a few mishaps earlier in the week Japan's Joji Motoyoshi's Blue Juice and Kawin Nualkhair's Octopussy finally came through for the Thais to finish 1st and 2nd respectively in today's race. In the overall placing's Bill Bremner's Foxy Lady claimed 2nd place after dropping a disqualification and Yachtpro's Di Hard skippered by Rob Williams finished up third.
The Royal Thai Navy 1 finished up undefeated with 5 wins to beat their counterparts on Royal Thai Navy 2. The only yacht to make any inroads on the navy boats was David Lindahl's La Samudra who managed a couple of 2nd places but had to settle for 3rd overall at the end of the day.
Tracy Williams Patrice III won today's final race to confirm her a 3rd spot in the overall class results. By scoring a 2nd place today Greg Coops on Abraxas broke the tye to narrowly win the class from young Mia Gillow steering Minx with a group of youth sailors studying in Phuket.
Princess Anna skippered by Christian Eschenburg scored a run away victory with 5 wins in a row. Nick Cox's Princess Arieta ended up 2nd after a consistent performance and Per Svendsen's Princess Athena replaced Mark Hamill-Stewart's Princess Sharda in third place after finishing the last 2 races on the podium.
Ocean Rover
After consistently finishing in the placing's and a win today has earned Hellmut Schutte's Aquavit III a King's Cup. A second place today for Alex Joyce's Cordelia sees him finish in 2nd overall despite a disappointing 7th in yesterdays race. Yachtpros Tarawadee finished up 3rd overall despite finishing 4th in today's race and the irrepressible Dr Bobby Golding finally made a mark on Forrest by claiming 3rd today.
Mark Pescott pulled out all stops on Tim Milner's Charro to try and beat Peter Plant's newly launched Coco Blues but alas their efforts were thwarted when the smaller twin rigged cat crossed the finish line only six minutes after them. Henry Kaye's Ceberus finished up with a creditable third place today and third overall. This gives Coco Blues the honourable distinction of winning a Kings Cup on her first outing and food for thought for anyone looking for a easy to sail flying machine built in Koh Samui.
Claus Karthe's Greensleeves continued on his winning ways in the triangle courses beating Peter Wood's well sailed 80 ton Sunshine and Julian Hill's Phuket Sail Sanook in todays race. This result gives Greensleeves the overall title this year with Phuket Sail Sanook in second and Sunshine third. All credit must go to Dr Jens Ehrhardt's 42m Sylvia for maneuvering the 260 ton vessel around the short crowded courses with impeccable style.
For the first time in the 18 year history of the King's Cup there has been no protests lodged by the racing class yachts which must indicate the success of fine tuning the courses this year. It seems that when there is plenty of wind the sailors are happy to race their boats and find very little to complain about. Having short windward legs on the passage races has got rid of the problems of past years and the race committee must be commended for laying true windward/leeward courses. The only complaints have been about the soldiers course out and back to Koh Ratcha which no doubt will be worked on during the year. The parties have been fantastic and as sponsorship has increased the level of local acceptance of the marine tourism industry is showing signs of a bright future. Amazing Thailand!

It REALLY helps to have the chassis supported on something other than the kick stand. Swingarm spools and a rear wheel stand is ideal. I got a stand off of Amazon for like $30 that works fine, and spools are cheap.
The small investment will save you hours of cursing (because the bike will want to move around and fall over with just the kick stand).
I was looking at a motorcycle lift (like this http://www.harborfreight.com/automot...ift-94715.html) as it would also be nice to get it a bit higher off the ground. Thoughts?
I have one like that and it works great.
Yeah, those are really nice to have. I think I got mine at O'Reilly auto for about $50 (on sale).
Looking good man.

handsome karson- age 2. our last photoshoot before he was unable to come off his bi-pap (breathing machine)
karson's funeral 1/18
i just wanted to check in and say sorry if you've tried to get a hold of me this week and i've not returned your call or e-mail, everything has kinda been on hold.
our sweet little buddy karson returned to live with our heavenly father last thursday after a tough battle with spinal muscular atrophy type one. we loved every second if the 2 years and 8 months we spent with this guy and will miss him every second we're apart from him. however, i have know that karson is free- no doubt running, jumping and breathing DEEP. and for that, i am happy, thankful, and at peace.
karson's parents are some of our very best friends (really, FAMILY) so this has obviously been a very emotional and busy week, preparing for his beautiful funeral and saying our last goodbyes to this very special little man.
there are a million things i want and need to say about karson, mostly about his life, but also a few sweet things about his passing. he was an increadible little boy... i will be going into more detail on my family blog.
also, can i just say that i have NEVER been more grateful for the power of photographs than i have been this week? NEVER. it made me so happy to see photographs EVERYWHERE at his funeral and putting together his slideshow brought me so much joy- we had a loooot of photoshoots together, karson and i, and now we treasure each and every photo of him. i photographed his funeral as well and i'll never forget the words of one of our friends- "well, you've documented his entire life. i guess it only makes sense to do it for him today too." karson, it was an honor.
and also, can i ask of you just one small favor?
please say a few extra prayers for our dear friends Darren, Jody and Hadley that they can have peace during this time. because no matter how much you know that it was his time and that he's where he should be, losing your two year old son and brother is something i can't even fathom. if my own heart is broken, how must they feel?
Thank you.

Tigers One-Stroke Back at National Black College Hall of Fame Tournament
ATLANTA, Ga. – The Tennessee State men's golf team are in striking distance of its third title in four years at the National Black College Hall of Fame Foundation, Inc., tournament. The Tigers shot a 4-over, 292 as a team at the Par-72, 6,539 yard Browns Mill Golf Course on Saturday morning.
TSU is one-stroke behind co-leaders, Alabama State and Florida A&M, who turned in a 3-over, 291.
"We just need to stay focused on playing the course," head coach Parrish McGrath said. "We cannot get caught up watching our playing partners. We have a couple of holes, that as a team, we could have played better."
James Stepp and Andrew Warner paced the Tigers with a pair of Even-par, 72's. Blake Burgett and Codie Welborn each carded a 2-over, 74. Shane Sampair finished day one with a non-scoring 82.
Warner drove nine fairways and was just about perfect hitting 17 greens. On the par-3, 2nd, Warner hit his tee-shot to two-feet of the pin to set up one of two birdies on the day.
Welborn picked up birdies on 10 and 11 to score a team-best 1-under, 35 on the back-nine. The senior reached the green in two on the par-5, 10th, and had a 10-foot putt for eagle. The putt just lipped out leaving a tap in for birdie. On 11, Welborn would stick his second shot two inches from the cup for another easy tap-in putt.
Stepp led the Tigers with four birdies and finished with seven fairways and eight greens in regulation, while Burgett sank three birdies and hit five fairways and 10 greens.
The final round will begin at 8:00am on Sunday.

To feed the cake
Mix the hot tea, whisky and marmalade in a large bowl until the marmalade melts. Stir in all of the dried fruit, peel and cherries, then cover and leave to soak overnight.
Next day, heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3 and grease and double-line a 20cm round, deep cake tin with non-stick baking paper. Using electric beaters, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs a little at a time, beating well after each addition, then fold in the flour and spices, followed by the lemon zest and soaked fruit. Add any liquid that hasn't been absorbed by the fruit, too. Spoon into the prepared tin, level the top, then bake for 1½ hrs. Turn the oven down to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1 and bake for another 1½ hrs or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack in the tin.
While the cake is still warm, use the skewer to pepper the cake with holes, poking it all the way down. Dissolve the sugar in the tea, add the whisky or orange juice, then spoon over the surface. If you're making the cake ahead of time, feed it with a fresh swig of hot toddy every week, but take care not to make the cake soggy. Can be kept for a month well-wrapped in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. If short on time, the cake can be made the same day that you decorate it.
Recipe Tip
SoakingSoaking in whisky, tea and marmalade makes for the juiciest fruit and a rich, but not overpowering, cake. If you use orange juice instead of whisky, the result will still be good.

You won't have to wait until 2012 to get your first look at Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye. In fact his big-screen debut as the purple archer is just over four months away.
Renner's Hawkeye makes a brief appearance at the end of "Thor," a person whose seen an early cut of the film has revealed to The Wrap. Sounds like the same thing Marvel did with Samuel L. Jackson at the end of "Iron Man."
This confirmation at least puts to rest the confusion kicked off when Renner spoke out of turn in November 2009, telling Empire, "If I was a betting man, I would bet that Hawkeye would probably show up in 'Thor,' and then be in 'The Avengers'...But do I know for sure? I can't say. But I'd love for that to happen. It'd be fun."
U.S. & World
This was said back before the Powers that Be in Hollywood could explain to Renner the fine art of discretion.
Just a month later, Renner corrected himself, telling Movieline, "That was just one of those things that got blown way out of proportion...You know what I mean? So there's truth that we talked about it, but there's no truth to me doing it."
You may now speak freely, Mr. Renner.
"Thor" hits theaters May 6, 2011, "The Avengers" arrives May 4, 2012.

(Hat Tip: Atlas Shrugs)
Part one of a two part video. You can find the transcript for part one HERE.
Part two discusses how the current Administration has ignored the threatening Islamic insurrection from within our own government:
The Blogshevik has located a compilation of court documents from the Holy Land Foundations trial.
From The Blogshevik:
I will let Clare Lopez, Vice President of the Intelligence Summit and a professor at the Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies have the final word:
To be sure, enemy influence within the Intelligence Community didn't begin in 2009. In fact, the blueprint for the Muslim Brotherhood information warfare operation against the West goes back to a 1981 MB document called "The Project" that was discovered in a raid in Switzerland. More recently, the FBI discovered the MB's 1991 U.S. Manifesto in a 2004 raid, a manifesto that not only confirmed the existence of the Brotherhood in the U.S., but outlined its organizational structure and agenda in this country.
The dozens of groups listed as associates in that document include a number who've succeeded in forging close relationships inside the structures of U.S. national security. One of them is the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA, another unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF trial). The FBI itself has maintained a longstanding liaison relationship with ISNA officials and placed ads in its monthly publication seeking Muslim applicants to become agents. A top FBI lawyer named Valerie Caproni joined senior ISNA official Louay Safi on a 2008 panel discussion at Yale University for a discussion entitled "Behind the Blindfold of Justice: Security, Individual Rights, & Minority Communities After 9/11." Worse yet, in the wake of the horrific November 2009 military jihad assault at Ft. Hood that took fourteen lives and left dozens injured, it was revealed that Louay Safi was at Ft. Hood providing seminar presentations about Islam to U.S. troops about to deploy to Afghanistan. That's an amazing record of successful penetration. And it's just the tip of the iceberg.

It was about this time last year that Chestnut Hill College business administration professor Tom Costello knew he had to do something about the socks situation.
That's right. Socks. Costello, despite an admitted reluctance to volunteer his time at St.Vincent de Paul's Face to Face dining room in Germantown, he and his wife went there two years ago. It was there that he first learned from a podiatrist that homeless people have a hard time keeping their feet healthy. Part of the problem is getting socks.
"When people donate clothes," Costello told the Local in a phone interview this week, they donate pants, shirts, coats, but what do they do with their socks? They throw them away."
A year later, Costello said he was handing out socks at another homeless shelter when a homeless woman welled up with tears and gave him a hug because of the socks.
"She told me that no one had ever given her socks before," Costello said. "That's when I knew I had to do something."
Costello, who lives in Wayne and has been active in the charitable activities of his church, St. Thomas of Villanova, founded The Joy of Sox, a 501(c)(3) organization with a simple mission: to provide socks to the homeless.
The idea has taken off. At Chestnut Hill College, the freshman class adopted Joy of Sox as a yearlong project and will, this Friday, host an event to "pair" socks that were donated by a major manufacturer based in Alabama.
"I have 774 pounds of socks," Costello said. They're currently stored in his garage.
After the pairing event, the students will deliver the socks to Project H.O.M.E. and St Francis Inn in Kensington.
Costello's goal is to deliver socks to every homeless person in Philadelphia. So far, he's been encouraged by the support he's received, not only from local people in the community but also across the country.
"I have friends in Boston who want to start this in their neighborhood," he said. "A church in Seattle contacted me to ask I f they could do what I'm doing there. It's getting bigger than I ever imagined."
Costello is hoping to find a warehouse in the future to store socks – there's only so much room in the garage – and he's hoping to find a corporate sponsor to get involved. He's currently considering major league baseball teams that would be a natural fit (no pun intended) like the Boston Red Sox or the Chicago White Sox.
In the meantime, for more information or to help, visit Costello's website, thejoyofsox.org.

Teach children the importance of saving
Survey data tells us that people are worried about the financial capabilities of their children and grandchildren. Educational costs are a concern to the point that some retirees are helping their grandchildren pay for college. Adult children are moving in with their parents. Jobs are hard to find.
None of this is news, of course.
But it raises doubts about how we are doing as parents when it comes to teaching children about work and money.
And it raises the question: With the benefit of hindsight, is there anything you would do differently if you had the chance for a "do-over" in your own life?
And what do you know about money now that you wish you knew when you were younger?
Here are some thoughts:
First, everyone makes hundreds of financial decisions regularly -- from what groceries you buy, to whether to take a long drive, to your choice of beverage. While your circumstances may dictate your income, you decide what to spend and what to save. As a result, you may have more control over your financial destiny than you may think, and it might pay to spend some time making financial literacy a priority early in life.
Second, parents need to understand that buying things for their children may make them feel good about themselves, but it does not make the child a better person. Children will not remember you as a good parent because you indulged them with toys and gifts. They may learn to be self-indulgent. On the other hand, spending time with children to create good memories costs nothing.
Third, children are a significant long-term financial commitment that may last well beyond the age at which they should be independent. Nowadays, you have to be prepared to have them move back home after college. "Good parents" will keep the door open to help children in need at any time during their lifetimes. Is the opposite true? Do "bad parents" produce self-reliant children? Or is there a happy medium, where children learn financial values?
Fourth, it's natural for young families to focus their energies primarily on the present needs of their family members. If you do that, time will fly by. Before you know it, your children will be grown and on their own, and you'll need to start thinking about your own needs and resources. But will you be sufficiently on track to secure your own financial future?
Fifth, money is a natural part of everyone's life. It's just a tool, and everyone needs to know how to use it. Only with hindsight do people know that it's not enough to save what's left over after paying the monthly bills. It's smarter to envision the future, and set priorities to save money over a lifetime. Then there will be no regret for not starting early enough.
Sixth, when surveyed, people say that they regret saving too little and starting too late. The most effective way to save for retirement is to consistently save each month over a lifetime. The earlier the start, the higher the payoff. Amounts do not have to be large, however.
Even $100 a month saved over a 35-year period will turn into a sizable nest egg. A 30-year-old who invests that amount in a solid balanced fund can reasonably expect to bump up to close to a million dollars by the time he retires. The total investment over that time is only $42,000. The power behind those numbers is the math of compounding.
Seventh, investors make mistakes when markets decline by losing heart and selling out when they should be continuing their investment program. Fear should not dictate investment decisions.
Write to me at email@example.com to tell me what you learned about money that you wish you knew when you were younger.

"White police officers don't belong in our communities and have no authority over us," in a curt public statement regarding their newly adopted position regarding black citizens and white police, Dallas Black Foot Soldier spoken Elijah Hays said this morning on behalf of the NBFSN.
"MANY WHITE MALES SUBCONSCIOUSLY SUFFER FROM WHITE COP SYNDROME & THINK THEY ARE THE LAW." – Dallas Black Foot Soldier Elijah Hays
"Brother Moats might accept your apology, but we don't. White police officers have authority over white people. We recognize any attempt by white officers to seize or otherwise direct the actions of black citizens as unconstitutional and threatening. We not only have the right to defend ourselves, but live in the era of the preemptive strike."

Yesterday's Grizzly Fest online summit did not go unnoticed by the mainstream media. ABC's Shushannah Walshe, in her article, "Sarah Palin Supporters Meet Online to Discuss Life After Her Decision," writes:
Sarah Palin's most passionate supporters held an online forum today to assess what they should do going forward, now that the former Alaska governor has announced she won't enter the GOP 2012 field.
Participants of the forum, called Grizzlyfest, came together for three hours to praise Palin, plot how they will continue their grassroots political organizing in 2012, and how they will choose 2012 candidates after Palin stunned the group last month [It was this month] when she announced she would not seek the GOP nomination. The running theme of the event was that despite their chosen candidate's decision, they will stay active in conservative politics.
Palin did not participate in the event, but her brother, Chuck Heath Jr., called into the forum.
Panelist Nicole Coulter, an editor at the pro-Palin site Conservatives4Palin, asked the question that kept popping up on the event's chat page where listeners could ask questions of the panelists: Can you convince Palin to change her mind?
"I can't convince Sarah of anything," Heath said. "But I will definitely work on her. I understand the reason that she had for not running, but I look at the other choices and it was painful for me, too. Honestly not because she's my sister, but I honestly thought she was the best candidate out there. I'll keep working on her."

NEWPORT NEWS — On the way to the hospital, 17-month-old Angeli Callender laid in her mother's arms. She could barely breathe.
Lillian Callender tried to give her daughter CPR, but it didn't work. It was March 1, 2010, and Callender's last chance to save her daughter's life. Her efforts were too late. Angeli's brain had swelled. She eventually went into a coma and doctors put her on life support.
"She looked like she was sleeping, but she had tubes running all through her body," Callender said.
When Angeli died two days later, her mother was not at her bedside — she was being questioned by police. A month later Callender and her boyfriend, Michael Stoffa, were charged with second-degree murder and two counts of felony child neglect.
Callender's crime was not inflicting the blow that killed her daughter. Her crime was standing by while Stoffa, 26, abused Angeli and her 2-year-old sister Yessenia, according to police. It's a crime that Callender may never forgive herself for, she said in a recent interview at Hampton Roads Regional Jail. Callender, 23, was convicted in January of felony murder. She will be sentenced in July. Stoffa's trial is scheduled for later this month. He declined to be interviewed.
Angeli is one of at least five children on the Peninsula and surrounding area who were killed by a parent or caregiver in the past year. Several other children have been severely abused and neglected. Two weeks ago, a Gloucester girl was found confined in a makeshift cage, wallowing in her own waste. In the backyard of the girl's home police dug up the remains of a child buried in a wooden box. This past week, the remains of a newborn boy were found in a plastic bag in storage bin in Newport News. Those cases are under investigation.
Details of how the deceased children were tormented vary.
Seventeen-month-old Jireh Gayles had human bite marks on his body when police found him dead last summer. Charles Poertner, 7, died from severe dehydration and only weighed 28 pounds when authorities found him dead on his living room floor. He'd been there for days.
Angeli and Yessenia were hit, kicked, punched and slapped by Stoffa in the two months prior to her death, according to the criminal complaint. Stoffa wasn't the children's biological father, but he was the man Callender thought they needed in their lives, she said.
"I needed someone to help me take care of me and my kids," Callender said. "I needed a positive male model."
Standing by
Callender and Stoffa met in 2008 when they were stationed at Fort Eustis. Callender was a reserve soldier who worked as a cargo handler. Stoffa was a mechanic.
Callender says she wasn't interested in Stoffa at first because she was married. As her marriage deteriorated they became closer. She eventually separated from her husband and moved in with Stoffa in February of 2009.
"Initially he was strong and very supportive of my decision to leave my husband," Callender said. "He offered to take care of me and my children."
Callender says she was trying to escape a marriage that was laced with abuse. Callender took out a protective order against her husband in March 2009. She told police he had threatened to kill her and hit her in the head until she was unconscious, according to a petition for protective order filed in Newport News Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court.
But escaping her marriage did not free her from a life of being battered.
Three months after moving in with Stoffa, Callender says, the abuse began. Stoffa would punish the girls for little things like the amount of juice they could drink, according to Callender.
"He would pin her to the bed and make her stand in corners," Callender said, referring to Yessenia who was unable to talk due to a learning disability. Callender said all the girl would say over and over was "daddy." It was the only word she knew.
Callender says Stoffa would also kick and slap her daughters, while Callender's 3-month-old son was never abused.
"If I tried to stop him he would beat me, too," Callender said. She took out an emergency protective order against Stoffa in September 2009, alleging assault. That kept him temporarily at bay but he returned when the order expired.
"I was scared. I didn't know what to do," she said. "I remember being abused when I was younger so I thought it was normal for a man to beat on a woman and kids."
She was perfect
Angeli had curly blond hair and brown eyes. She loved the swings at the playground, but was afraid of the slides. In one photograph she's wearing a white shirt with ruffled sleeves. Her cheeks are the color of roses.
"She used to smile just like me," Callender said as she wept.
"God, she was so perfect," Callender said. "She did everything to make us smile. She used to do everything to get her way. She would blow kisses to get chocolate. She used to dance around the house."
Angeli would dress up in Stoffa's army uniform, pretending to be a soldier. Stoffa was discharged from the Army in November 2009 under a general discharge, according to the military. Stoffa stayed home with the children while Callender worked.
Two weeks before Angeli's death, Callender says, Stoffa tried to force her to eat. Stoffa kicked her out the house, she said, after she tried to defend Angeli. Callender spent the night at a Days Inn hotel with her children, but the next day she went back to Stoffa. She feared him, but was too afraid to try to make it without him.
"I thought I couldn't do it," Callender said. "I was so dependent on Michael for everything. I thought I was stuck."
When Callender came home from work on Feb. 27, 2010, Angeli was throwing up and unable to digest anything she ate or drank.
"I said, 'Michael we need to take her to the hospital,'" Callender recalled. "He said she didn't need to go — that she was just faking it."
Angeli never made it to the hospital that day.
Stoffa later told police that he was the only one watching the children on Feb. 27 and saw injuries but did nothing, according to the criminal complaint. He told police he used a paddle on the children to the point of leaving welts and red marks on them. Stoffa said he threw Yessenia six feet where she landed on a pile of legos.
Angeli never got better.
Callender says Angeli's condition worsened on March 1. When the girl tried to stand on her own that day, she kept falling down. Later that evening Angeli was in the bathroom with Stoffa when Callender heard a thud in the bathtub.
Callender ran down the hallway toward the bathroom. Angeli was gasping for air.
"Look, baby — she's pretending to be dead," she said Stoffa told her. "He was laughing. He thought it was a joke."
A mile away
When nurses saw Angeli at Mary Immaculate hospital on March 1 she had a large bruise on her forehead, jaw and back, according to an affidavit. Her sister had bruises all over her face and neck with the most severe on the bridge of her nose.
Angeli was so thin that her ribs showed through her skin. Angeli died two days later from inflicted brain trauma, according to the autopsy report, which notes that medical neglect contributed. Angeli hadn't been seen by a doctor since Nov. 9, 2010, despite being ill. And though courts issued two protective orders for Callender, the children's abuse was never reported to child protective services until Angeli was taken the hospital two days before her death.
Callender and Stoffa were charged with murder on April 28 of last year.
"I knew I got arrested for failing to protect my daughter," she said. "I contemplated killing myself in that room."
Angeli's fatal injuries were the result of being shaken, according to the autopsy report, which states that she had scar tissue from other injuries on her back, scalp and temple and had been shaken prior to the fatal shaking. According to the criminal complaint, she had "15 different impact wounds on her skull."
Verena Wyvill , a child abuse expert, pinpointed Feb. 27 as the day the fatal "inflicted head trauma" occurred, the criminal complaint states.
According to prosecutors, Stoffa took Angeli to Hooters for dinner then to Wal-mart after a beating. A Wal-mart surveillance video showed her falling down repeatedly in the store. The video was from March 1 more than an hour before she was taken to the emergency room, according to the autopsy.
Angeli's sister and brother are both in foster care.
"I love my kids very much, but I made the biggest mistake of my life by being in this situation," Callender said. "No man is worth the lives of my kids. I learned that a little bit too late."
Angeli could have lived through her final shaking.
"As inflicted brain injury is not always fatal, if the child had been taken to see doctors appropriately when injury first occurred, she might not have died," a medical examiner wrote in Angeli's autopsy report.
The couple's apartment was a mile away from the hospital.

Some casting info, including news that should make fans of Sean Bean very happy. Here it is in brief:
- Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) will star in the three-film adaptation of Devil's Peak, a suspense novel trilogy by South African author, Deon Meyer.
- Paula Patton (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) is set to star in Baggage Claim, a comedy adapted and directed by David Talbert from his bestselling 2003 novel.
- Jamie Hector (The Wire) joins the phenomenal cast of Blood Ties, which includes Mila Kunis (Black Swan) , Zoe Saldana (Colombiana) and Marion Cotillard (Inception).
Hit the jump for more on each film.
First up from THR comes the awesome news that Bean will star in recurring lead role, Detective Benny Griessel. Did you catch the operative word, "recurring?" As in, for at least two movies, he won't die from being shot, stabbed, beheaded, shot full of arrows (and then beheaded), pulled limb from limb by a team of horses or stampeded off a cliff (my favorite). The trilogy, said to be based on "revenge, forgiveness and the race to catch a trained killer," will start with Devil's Peak, followed by 13 Hours and 7 Days. Set to shoot in Meyer's native South Africa in September, producer Malcolm Kohll said:
"I believe that Deon Meyer will do for the South African thriller what Stieg Larsson did for the Scandinavian crime novel."
Here's the synopsis for Devil's Peak (via Amazon):
A young woman makes a terrible confession to a priest. An honorable man takes his own revenge for an unspeakable tragedy. An aging inspector tries to get himself sober while taking on the most difficult case of his career. From this beginning, Deon Meyer weaves a story of astonishing complexity and suspense, as Inspector Benny Griessel faces off against a dangerous vigilante who has everything on his side, including public sympathy.
A gruesome abuse case has hit the newsstands, and one man has taken it upon himself to stand up for the children of Cape Town. When the accused is found stabbed through the heart by spear, it's only the beginning of a string of bloody murders – and of a dangerous dilemma for detective Griessel. The detective is always just one step behind as someone slays the city's killers. But the paths of Griessel and the avenger collide when a young prostitute lures them both into a dangerous plan – and the two find themselves with a heart-stopping problem that no system of justice could ever make right.
Deadline reports that Patton will star as Montana Moore, a 35-year-old flight attendant who is the oldest woman in her family who is still single. As her sister is next to tie the knot, Moore's fellow flight attendants set a limit of 30 days or 30,000 miles to find her a husband. Baggage Claim will be Talbert's second time behind the camera when production starts this September. His previous effort, First Sunday, was based off of one of his plays, of which he's been writing and touring with for 20 years. Baggage Claim could prove to be his big screen breakthrough. Here's the synopsis (via Amazon):
She's got thirty days and thirty thousand miles to find a husband.
According to the women in Montana Moore's family, you're not a lady until you marry and not a woman until you have birthed at least two children. At age thirty-five, Montana is neither and her prospects are meager. Her mother is working on husband number five, and her baby sister, Sheree, has just announced her engagement to a promising future doctor. Pledging to keep herself from being the oldest and the only woman in her entire family never to wed, Montana embarks on a thirty-day, thirty-thousand-mile expedition to charm a potential suitor into becoming her fiancé.
Whom will she choose? Damon Diesel, a P. Diddy wannabe; Reverend Curtis P. Merewether, pastor of Greater House of Deliverance, Tabernacle of Praise, Worship, and Miracles; pompous attorney-turned-councilman Langston Jefferson Battle III; or Quinton Jamison, a multimillionaire who's twenty years her senior?
Last, but certainly not least, comes the addition of Hector for Blood Ties, a crime thriller directed by Guillaume Canet (Tell No One) currently shooting in New York. The plot centers on two brothers on opposite sides of the law who square off over organized crime in 1970s Brooklyn. In addition to Kunis, Saldana and Cotillard, Clive Owen and Billy Crudup are set to lead as "a younger brother (Crudup) who has to ask his convict older brother (Owen) to go back into the underworld to help out the family." Canet's English-language debut is based off the French novel "Les liens du sang."

Model X Reservation Tally
Model X Reservation Tally
As of December 9, 2012, projected total reservations by end 2013:
(2575*690)/312 = 5,695
I am sure that reservations will increase significantly when there are Model Xs in the Tesla stores to look at, very few people I know would plunk down reservation money for something they never seen. Reservations will really pick up when deliveries start... look at the pattern in Model S reservations...
I just received P 152 in Norway today :)
Model S - P 1333 (EU)
Model X - P 152 (EU)
I made a reservation for a Model X Signature for Panama (Central America) and the response I got was that these cars are not available for my location. Later in the day I got an email saying that my reservation was complete but no reservation number was included (Dec 30th, 2012).
My guess is that Tesla does not have a store close by. I will call on Jan 2nd to find out what is going to happen.
mm; Note that the latest date is Dec. 20, for the European Ps.
As of December 20, 2012, projected total reservations by end 2013:
(2635*690)/323 = 5,629
:( ↓
1) reservation number / date received: 2,163 / December 20, 2012
2) region : US
3) type: General Production
Yes I also believe that reservation numbers for Model X will increase significantly once they get a few prototypes in the stores for people to look at. Also people know the car isn't even going into production for another year so probably feel like they will hold onto their money for a little while longer until more details are available (we still don't even know how many Tesla plans to build in 2014!)...I would think more details on the Model X will have to be released by Q1 2013 if they are serious about early 2014 Model X deliveries.
I reserved the car mid-November and made the payment in the beginning of December.
I have finally got a #-number. The number is:
I really hope that the car is produced at least before end 2014, since the all electric incentive scheme in Norway is ending after 50 000 registered all-electric cars.
I drove behind an all new Nissan Leaf yesterday with Licenceplate EL18453. I.e. about 22 000 all electric cars before the scheme ends.
( A total of about 140 000 cars are sold in Norway annually and the rate of all electric is about 800 a month!)
Juan, please let me know what you find out. I am also interested in reserving a Model X for Panama.
Good luck!
Anton, your arithmetic is pessimistic. 22,000 + 18,000 = 40,000. So you've actually go 28,000 more to go. At 800/mo, that's 35 months, or end of 2015.
typo: "actually got 28,000".
After having my model S for a month, my wife could not resist any more.
She just reserved Model X reservation number 2354 (U.S.)
As of January 7, 2013, projected total reservations by end 2013:
(2885*690)/341 = 5,838
Europe (Norway), P180, 1/8/2013
X reservation number now up to 2394
My reservation number : P188 (Europe - Fra)
Did the blues demand the X?
~1/day in Europe.
What US res# did you get? Sig or Prod? Reg or Perf?
michiganmodels and Brian - We are #2448, made on 1/17 at 7 PM central. I don't know how someone got #2354 a day after us.
We reserved production, not signature. When configuration time comes, we'll figure the benefits of battery size, performance or not, 2WD or 4WD, etc. We have the 85KWh Model S, not performance, and it feels like it's on PEDs already!
I am hoping the production delay to mid-2014 might give time for a larger battery to be incorporated into the car. 100KWh would be a magical number (and also lift the Model S well over 300 miles if available there too.)
Your US P # is the same for Jan 7 and Jan 18. Typo?
As of January 18, 2013, projected total reservations by end 2013:
(3086*690)/352 = 6,049
As of January 21, 2013, projected total reservations by end 2013:
(3096*690)/355 = 6,018
:( ↓
S50, Norway, Jan 22, 2013.
On 21 January 2013 michiganmodels has mentioned in his thread of Model X Reservations that the Gross Total was 3,096 Model X Reservations (up to January 21, 2013).
Is it possible to find out:
- How many Model X Reservations have been made with a 60 kWh battery?
- How many Model X Reservations have been made with a 85 kWh battery?
I upgraded my X to the Signature.
Reservation #321 1/25/13
They don't ask you which size battery you want when you make your reservation. As for myself, I'm getting the 85 kWh battery but hoping they'll make a 100 kWh.
Reservation Sequence Number 2559 just issued 10 am on 1/25/13 ... moved over from a deposit on Model S. That's a lot of new reservations in the past 2 weeks.
OK, you are right about that.
When you will be asked to finalize your car, then you can tell them which battery pack you want. And that moment in time will be 3 months before the actual production date.
And if possible I would also prefer a 100 kWh Battery Pack. But time will tell.
As of January 25, 2013, projected total reservations by end 2013:
(3206*690)/359 = 6,162
:) ↑
US #2595 reserved yesterday
I've been assigned USA Sig X #325 as of 1/30/13.
Will you let us know when they will tell you anything about what price total price you will have to pay for your Signal Model X?
I don't expect that will be any time soon...
We know that it will not happen any time soon. But when they inform you about it, you could inform us about it. We would appreciate it.
It will be a public announcement. The reservers will not get special or advance notice.
Any idea when this announcement will be?
Not a.
August 2013?
As of January 31, 2013, projected total reservations by end 2013:
(3287*690)/365 = 6,214
:) ↑
Almost a year ago the Tesla Model X was revealed by Elon Musk.
In this period up to January 31, 2013, 3,287 reservations for the Tesla Model X have been made.
Now, I personally think that as from now the average number of reservations per month for the Tesla Model X are going to increase. Compared to the existing present 3,287 reservations for the Tesla Model X up to now, twice as many as that number will be made in the remaining 11 months of this year, resulting in a total number of reservations for the Tesla Model X being about 10,000 by the end of 2013.
Went to put a deposit on a Model X today and was told I should put the deposit on a Model S for now. The sales rep said this way I could soon test drive the Model S (due to demand they can only offer drives with deposits) and that if/when I switch to the Model X I will be assigned a production number based on if I had made my deposit today. I likes the Model S but found the back seat lacking headroom for average ht folks. I'm 5' 11" and could not sit back without hitting my head....hope the X is "taller" inside. Does this sound right?

Jon comes to me this morning at 7:16 AM and shoves a piece of paper in front of me to sign. It was from his math class. It basically went over policies and how assignments would work. As I got to the bottom, I see that he needs a TI-83 calculator (they run about $80). Yikes! He informs me that he needs it today. WHAT? Do you want me to pull it out of my butt?? Seeing that Staples wasn't opened yet, and even if it was, I wasn't rushing right over there for a calculator. Why didn't he tell me he needed this the other day when he mentioned the form he wanted me to sign? Yes, he was gone all weekend, but we have been over stuff like this in the past with posterboard being requested at 9:00 PM at night for a project due the next day. I told him that he would have to use his old TI calculator today and just let his teacher know that my broom doesn't work on such short notice, making sure to let the teacher know that the short notice was not her fault, but his. Reluctantly, I went over to Staples later this AM and bought the beloved TI-84 calculator (not the TI-83, b/c it was sold out, of course). According to the GM of Staples, they will need the TI-84 by the time they are juniors in high school (like my son is going to hold onto and not break this in the next 3 years…yeah!). Also, with the rebate offered, it was the same price. That is really the only reason I bought it. He would have had to wait otherwise. Then the checkout girl said the funniest thing to me. She asked if I wished to purchase the extended warranty plan on the calculator. I told her only if it covered the calculator being lost. Obviously, it doesn't. 😉
So when Jon came home today I gave him his new "toy". I told him that we bought the first one, but if he lost it or broke it, he would be buying any future TI 83 or TI 84 calculators that he was required to have. He seemed fine with it. Let's see how long he can keep it. I hope that I never have to post about it here again. 😀

An image from Nintendo's patent shows a proposal to track users gaze and provide 3D images.Nintendo has filed a patent with the US patent office for a device that "enables 3D viewing on conventional 2D displays such as home television sets by tracking a person's viewpoint".
As opposed to conventional stereoscopic 3D that sends a different image to each eye to make elements of an image appear to "pop out" (as in a 3D movie), Nintendo's proposed system would employ gaze-tracking technology to alter the movement and appearance of 3D-modelled objects, giving the impression that the objects within a game or 3D animation occupied real space stretching back into the distance.
Users could manipulate the images while using the hypothetical device by moving their head to get a different view, the patent says, which could also provide "collision-related game logic benefits" such as allowing a gamer to dodge projectiles. In-game characters could also be programmed to meet a gamer's gaze, or lose sight of them if the user ducked behind cover.
The patent goes on to give a long list of examples of other immersion-inducing technologies that could be integrated into such a device, which may give some insight into where the Japanese gaming company sees the future of gaming peripherals heading.
"Smell is a very strong sense. There may be some ways to produce aromas for a very strong experience", states the patent, which also mentions artificial wind (possibly akin to tactile air technology, in development over at Disney), localised climate control, the projection of light around the television to simulate peripheral vision and "brain wave detection … eye movement [detection], heart rate monitor or the like" that could be integrated into goggles and provide game developers with an idea of the user's emotional state.
While gaming contemporaries Sony and Microsoft are pouring resources into virtual reality, legendary Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto is on the record as saying Nintendo will find alternatives to increasing immersion for home console gamers, telling Time they believe in people being able to enjoy games inclusively rather than "one person putting on some goggles and playing by themselves kind of over in a corner".
The proposed device, while supposedly only following one user at a time, would provide the benefit of allowing anybody else in the room to view the images, and would even allow those without stereoscopic vision to play.
Of course a patent is no guarantee a final product will ever be released. Microsoft last year showed off a prototype projector that could fill a room with interactive images, while Nintendo itself was experimenting with augmenting displays as early as 2000, when they developed but ultimately scrapped a device that would allow their GameCube console to output stereoscopic images.
The company released their first stereoscopic device back in 1995 with the ill-fated Virtual Boy portable system, a set of goggles on a tripod infamous for its nausea-inducing black and red images, which was discontinued a year later. Their current portable system, the 3DS, can provide stereoscopic 3D without the user wearing any headgear at all, and is proving much more successful.

Made some suggested fixes to your post.
Your comparison with an IS-3A is illogical and has absolutely no in game dynamics' basis. For that matter, I would rather compare it as a nerfed IS-7 - approach the comparison from the other side. The IS3A is actually more expensive and a far worse tank, on paper at least, than the defender.
I will not be buying it, but if I had money to spare, I would buy both the tanks.
well, you see... they are both tier 8 tanks. you usely do not compare a tier 8 to a tier 10, why dont we compare the M4A1 Rev to a Sherman m4 then?

It's, like, whoa.
I'm still taking a writing class. It's still not that satisfying. First off, I'm not sure I want to write "fiction" per se. Secondly, I know I don't want to be the next Agatha Christie or Ayn Rand, or...well, Jane Austen. Or, whatever. The point being, if I'm in a room with five people who all belong to Jane Austen book clubs, I'm in a room with five too many people (at least). I am going to finish the last two weeks. I am getting some good tips on organizing my writing and things like that, but the other people kind of freak me out. Not one of them is going to write a book that I ever want to read. Before you judge, let me just say...yes, I can tell just by looking.

From respected senior public servant to Sleazemaster-General, Max "The Axe" Moore-Wilton has fallen a long way.
In public service, Moore-Wilton climbed to the very top, becoming department head to prime minister John Howard in 1996.
These days the Companion of the Order of Australia plies his trade in the private sector, where he is chairman of both Sydney Airport and moral-free broadcaster Southern Cross Media Group, aka Southern Cross Austereo.
Moore-Wilton is paid $250,000 a year to lend his respectability to the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is Southern Cross, and it is he, and the rest of the board, who shareholders should hold ultimately responsible for the latest debacle enveloping the company.
He has been chairman since 2007 and, during his tenure, the company has perpetrated a series of outrages, most of them emanating from the Sydney studios of flagship station 2Day FM.
Remember the merry jape when "Vile" Kyle Sandilands and his equally culpable enabler, Jackie O, hooked up a teenage rape victim to a lie detector? Or how about the hilarious time, just a few months ago, when Kyle called a female journalist a "fat slag" and promised to "hunt her down"?
In the latest stunt-gone-wrong, Southern Cross has suspended all ads from 2Day FM following the suspected suicide of a British nurse who was collateral damage in a prank call targeting the royal family.
While the two DJs who made the call aren't completely free from blame, the real problem is that Southern Cross has a business model that involves teetering on the edge of a moral abyss.
Each so-called "prank" may carry only a small risk, but their number makes eventual disaster all but inevitable.
And yet, somehow, its management seems surprised each and every time it falls in the muck. Witness the bleating from $1.3 million-a-year chief executive Rhys Holleran on Saturday that the company was "confident we haven't done anything illegal" and acted in accordance with its internal procedures. So that's okay then.
Atop this structure sit Moore-Wilton and a board of worthies – former Freehills partner Leon Pasternak, former regulator Chris de Boer, media veteran Tony Bell, former head of Macquarie Capital Michael Carapiet, adman Peter Harvie and Mirvac director Marina Darling – who, in return for their wisdom, are each entitled to a minimum of $125,000 a year.
When CBD called, Moore-Wilton deflected the blame in Holleran's direction.
"The chief executive officer is responsible for the operations of the organisation within the framework that the board broadly sets," he said.
And he insisted that the company had taken action over previous incidents.
No doubt, but with 2Day's license already subject to conditions, advertisers in retreat and Scotland Yard detectives investigating the death, clearly more needs to be done.
On Sunday night, the board was holding an emergency meeting to consider its next move.
While Moore-Wilton has so far failed to rein in the company's rancid culture, there remains one productive step he could take immediately: resign.
Don't hold your breath.
Hot tip on hot air
Think of it as a bottom-of-the-harbour scheme James Packer would be happy to embrace.
The gambling tycoon has been lobbying hard for approval to build a luxury casino at Barangaroo, a prime slice of Sydney being developed by Lend Lease.
Lend Lease, which won the tender on a promise to make Barangaroo a model of sustainability, is nearing a decision on a key component of its deep-green credentials: a centralised cooling plant using seawater from Sydney Harbour.
The hot tip is Dalkia, the energy services unit of French giant Veolia Environment, will emerge with a major contract from Lend Lease.
A win for Dalkia may give it an edge on rivals such as Origin Energy, which is just dipping its toes into the potentially big business of heating and cooling whole districts rather than single buildings.
Strike one
Bloodied but unbowed, the board of media and mining minnow Motopia survived an attempted putsch by major shareholder Wendy Symes last week, though it did suffer a strike against its remuneration report and couldn't get the 75 per cent needed to allow it to issue new scrip. However, a return bout is inevitable: following the meeting, the company acknowledged as legitimate a request for an EGM that Symes lodged last month.
Motopia will lodge a notice of meeting with the exchange on Monday.
Numbers game
A slice of white collar criminal history is up for grabs in Melbourne. While it's not in quite the same bloody league as one of the Carlton locations, where various dastardly deeds went down during the gangland wars, the cute little city venue has its own story to tell.
