endangered species act
Happy World Turtle Day!
Happy World Turtle Day! While World Turtle Day celebrates turtles that roam both the land and the sea, as well as tortoises, we at Oceana would especially like to recognize the magnificent species of sea turtles that roam throughout the world's oceans. The seven species classified as sea turtles around the world are truly incredible: most undergo incredible long migrations – some as far as 1,400 miles –between their feeding grounds and the beaches where they nest. Some loggerhead sea turtles nest in Japan and migrate to Baja del Sur, Mexico, to forage before swimming across the Pacific Ocean again to return home! Amazingly, female sea turtles even return to the exact beach where they hatched as babies to nest and lay their eggs.
It's Endangered Species Day!
May 17th is the day to show your love for endangered sea turtles, whales, dolphins, and all sorts of marine creatures. Why? Because it's Endangered Species Day! Today is the day to learn and share information about your favorite endangered animals and rally support around the creatures that need it most.
Victory! 739 Miles of U.S. Coastline Protected for Loggerhead Sea Turtles
This morning the government announced a decision, long in the making, to designate 739 miles of Atlantic and Gulf coastline as critical habitat for threatened loggerhead sea turtles.
Loggerheads face threats from all sides, including from pollution, degradation of foraging areas, and serious injury and death from entanglement in fishing gear. They're also faced with the loss of their nesting habitat due to coastal development as well as sea level rise.
Loggerheads, which make some of the longest journeys of any sea turtle—across entire ocean basins—nest on beaches from Texas to Virginia, but 90 percent of U.S. loggerhead nesting occurs in Florida. This new protection means that any new beachside hotels, homes or commercial construction built on protected beaches that require federal permits would need to be reviewed to prevent harm to nesting areas.
Oceana marine scientist Amanda Keledjian explained why the protections are crucial:
"Turtles are often caught in fishing gear, struck by moving vessels, or risk ingesting debris such as plastic bags. The National Marine Fisheries Service must follow up on this action and designate off-shore areas as well as waters directly adjacent to nesting beaches if they want these vulnerable populations to recover."
The new protections came about as a result of a lawsuit filed earlier this year by the Center for Biological Diversity, Oceana, and Turtle Island Restoration Network, after the government failed to respond to previous petitions filed by the groups dating back to 2007. In 2011, loggerhead sea turtles worldwide were protected as nine separate populations under the Endangered Species Act, triggering the requirement to designate critical habitat.
The government will now accept public comments about the proposal and the protections are expected to take effect in 2014. Stay tuned to hear about ways that you can help ensure that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service does not withdraw many of these proposed beaches when these protections are finalized.

Great Whites Now Have Endangered Species Protections
It's official; as of today, California's great white sharks are now fully protected under the California Endangered Species Act! As new candidates for protection under this law, while the state of California considers permanent actions, the ocean's most iconic sharks will now receive the exact same legal protections afforded to other listed endangered species, placing them in the company of the furry sea otter and the majestic blue whale. As of today, it is now a criminal offense to pursue, catch, or kill a white shark in California. With recent population estimates of fewer than 350 adult white sharks, this action may be just in time to keep them from extinction.
The main threat to great whites is incidental capture in drift and set gillnets which together target swordfish, thresher sharks, halibut, and white seabass. Since the 1980s there has been an average of over 10 reported interactions of great white sharks in these gillnets annually, and up to 30 reports in a single year. The number of observers who go out to sea on these fishing vessels and document bycatch is currently very low, so we don't know the full extent of this bycatch. Also of concern is what scientists call post-release mortality. While some great whites are released from gillnet capture alive, others die shortly after from severe damage inflicted to their organs and internal bleeding. Bycatch in fisheries, under-reporting, and post-release mortality, in culmination with a low population size, slow growth, and a low reproductive rate could be enough to jeopardize the recovery of the unique population of great white sharks off California.
2012 in Review: Oceana's Top Five Victories
As 2013 rapidly approaches, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the past year at Oceana. Thanks to your support, we were able to achieve more than a dozen major victories for the oceans! You signed petitions to lawmakers and companies, submitted seafood samples and participated in rallies and events, and it made a difference. Here are five of the major victories we won in 2012 as a result:
1. Alibaba.com stops selling manta ray products
When Oceana discovered that the online international marketplace Alibaba.com was selling manta ray products, we asked for your help in stopping it. Nearly 40,000 of you responded by signing our petition, and Alibaba listened, removing manta ray leather products from the website.
2. Victories for the endangered Pacific leatherback sea turtle
2012 was a good year for endangered Pacific leatherback sea turtles. We helped establish the first permanent safe haven for leatherbacks in continental U.S. waters this year. The government designated nearly 42,000 square miles of critical habitat off the West Coast. The Pacific leatherback was also designated as California's official state reptile following a bill sponsored and supported by Oceana with the support of thousands of California citizens and more than 30 conservation groups.
Oceana Launches Lawsuit to Protect Sea Turtles
Oceana, along with the Center for Biological Diversity and the Turtle Island Restoration Network, announced last week that they intend to sue the federal government over its failure to designate critical habitat areas for loggerhead sea turtles in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans – an action required under the Endangered Species Act but that has not yet been done.
Loggerhead sea turtles currently face threats from commercial fisheries, habitat destruction, and climate change along our coasts and throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately population recovery efforts are slow, as turtles are long-lived animals that typically don't reach sexual maturity until 20-35 years of age.
The designation of critical habitat is expected to help restore plummeting population numbers, as species with identified critical habitat are more than twice as likely to show recovery in overall numbers. The designation of critical habitat will likely protect nesting and foraging grounds that are important to the survival and recovery of these turtles.
In order to designate critical habitat, the federal government must first identify areas that are essential to the survival and recovery of the species. More than 90 percent of the U.S. Atlantic nesting population of loggerheads nests on U.S. beaches along the eastern coast of Florida. Critical habitat designation is vital to the survival and recovery of threatened and endangered species. Every day the government delays means more turtles caught in nets and more habitat areas destroyed without consideration of the impacts on the population.
Great White Shark Petition Moves Forward
We have good news to share: the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has looked at our petition to have West Coast great white sharks listed as an endangered species – a petition 44,000 of you backed – and has agreed to take it to the next level!
Having agreed that these sharks may qualify for endangered status, NMFS will now spend the next nine months researching the sharks and will announce their final decision in June 2013.
This is an important milestone, and we want to thank you for helping make it happen. Those 44,000 signatures showed that great whites have supporters across the country and that people are paying attention to what happens off our shores. We're so grateful for your help – and the sharks are too.
Recent scientific studies show that great white sharks off the coast of California and Baja California, Mexico are genetically distinct and isolated from all other great white shark populations and that there are only a few hundred adult sharks remaining in this population.
The biggest threat to great white sharks on the West Coast right now are the gillnets that are trapping their young. We're hoping that this effort will lead to more research, increased observer coverage and management of the fisheries that are harming them, and more awareness of the importance and vulnerability of these magnificent creatures. Great white sharks are a vital part of the ocean food web, and we can't let them disappear.
We will keep you posted as the story unfolds!
Creature Feature: Great White Shark
They're the stars of Shark Week, one of the most iconic creatures in the ocean. But how well do you really know the great white shark?
White sharks are known by many names—great white, white pointer, Carcharodon carcharias, even white death. They're the largest existing predatory fish in the ocean, and they've been around for about 16 million years. They're found in coastal waters in all of the world's major oceans.
The average great white measures in around 14 feet long (the females are generally a few feet longer than the males). An average individual weighs between 1,500 and 2,400 pounds. The largest white sharks ever measured came in around 20 feet long and weighed nearly 5,000 pounds.
All that size makes these sharks powerful predators. Their bite force is an estimated 1.8 tons—that's 20 times the bite force of the average human! This powerful bite is coupled with multiple rows of sharp, serrated teeth that help the shark saw off pieces of fish.
Great whites also have an additional sense that allows them to detect the electromagnetic field emitted by the movement of living animals. By searching for these tiny electromagnetic pulses and using their excellent sense of smell, sharks can seek out prey from miles away.
In the social structure of white sharks, females dominate males, and size matters. They resolve conflict through rituals and displays of power, and rarely attack one another. Some sharks have even shown behavior that appears playful!
Great whites have earned a bad reputation as ferocious man-eaters due to movies like Jaws and stories about rogue sharks attacking humans. Truth is, great whites aren't all that interested in humans. They would rather eat a fish or a seal than a human. While a significant proportion of shark accidents around the world involve white sharks, most are not fatal. Great whites are curious sharks, and will give an unknown object a sample bite, then release it.
These powerful creatures may be at the top of the food chain, but their biggest predator is humans. Only a few hundred great whites are left in the population off the coasts of California and Mexico, and they're not getting the protection they need. Sign today to help get great whites covered by the Endangered Species Act.
Save Shark Week's Stars
Whether you fear them or admire them, most people have an instant reaction when they hear great white shark.
Intrigue, mystery, and terror have guided attention on great white sharks since they lit up the screens in the 1975 thriller "Jaws." The film made history 37 years ago for its chilling characterization of these powerful sharks, and swimming in the open ocean has never been the same since.
Great whites are making history once again, this time for their globally declining populations from bycatch in commercial fisheries, capture in beach protective nets, and slaughter for their fins, teeth, and jaws in the shark fin and curio trade.
Here on the US West Coast, new scientific studies have shed light on the status of great white sharks off California and Baja California, Mexico. Our great white sharks are even more unique than we thought; in fact they are genetically distinct and isolated from all other great white sharks around the world. They congregate off Mexican Islands and the "red triangle" off Central California (including the Farallon Islands, Point Reyes, and Point Sur), and make extensive offshore migrations to the distant "white shark Café" and even to the Hawaiian Islands.
But, sadly there may be as little as a few hundred adult great white sharks remaining in this population, far less than anyone expected. This low population alone puts these great whites at great risk of extinction from natural and human-caused impacts. Continued existence of these West Coast great white sharks is threatened by their low population size, inherent vulnerability to capture, slow growth rate, low reproductive output, and the ongoing threats they face from human activities. This is why Oceana is petitioning the federal government and the state of California to list this population of iconic sharks on the Endangered Species List.
What is threatening great white sharks off California and Mexico?
Young great white sharks are un-intentionally caught as bycatch in commercial fishing entangling nets. Set and drift gillnets--which together target California halibut, yellowtail, white seabass, thresher sharks and swordfish--catch great white shark pups in their nursery grounds.
Since 1980, over 10 great white shark pups have been reported being caught in these nets every year. The scary part is that monitoring of bycatch on these fishing vessels is very low so take of these pups remains underreported. In other words, more great white sharks are caught than we are aware.
Additionally, young great white shark "pups" caught in their nursery grounds off the Southern California coast have the second highest mercury level tested on record for any sharks worldwide. These mercury levels exceed six-fold the established thresholds where harmful physiological effects have been documented in other marine fish. Levels of harmful contaminants of PCBs and DDTs in their liver tissue are the highest observed in any shark species reported to date globally.
Endangered species status will bestow additional protections to white sharks, including better monitoring and management to reduce fishery bycatch and additional research to further understand these fascinating top predators of the sea.
As much as we may fear them for their bad rap, we need great white sharks to keep our oceans healthy. Just as wolves keep deer populations under control, great white sharks play a critical top-down role in structuring the marine ecosystem by keeping prey populations in check, such as sea lions and elephant seals, benefiting our fisheries and abundant wildlife.
Listing the West Coast population of great white sharks on the Endangered Species List will help us learn more about the lives and threats of these amazing animals through additional research funding and protection measures.
Please help us in our efforts to protect US West Coast great white sharks from extinction by signing a letter of support for their listing on the Endangered Species Act.

I love a great bust!! One of my go to design staples is a fabulous bust; you know a sculpture or cast representation of the upper part of the human figure, you weren't thinking I was speaking of the latest sculpted bust on The Real Housewives were you?
A classic bust will usually include the head and neck and sometimes a small portion of chest and torso all supported on a plinth or base. The sculpted pieces recreate the likeness of an individual, usually someone famous, someone mythological, or some former president, poet or philosopher. Some famous busts that are easily recognized include Queen Nefertiti, Apollo, Shakespeare, and Caesar. Busts are available in a wide range of material including marble, bronze, clay, wood and plaster.
Busts and classical figures are truly timeless objects d'art, therefore they will work fabulous in just about every design genre – whether juxtaposed in a modern or eclectic environment or right at home in a traditional space. They can look quirky or serious. Nothing is more glamorous and dramatic then a bust or a sculptured head in an unexpected place in your home. They can be set on top of a piano, pillar stand, table top, counter top or even laid on the floor. They are versatile and elegant and can also have a sense of humor. How about a plaster bust of Apollo on the kitchen counter top wearing a chef's hat? How about a clay bust that is slightly broken lying in your garden or even on the dining table amongst a collection of candlesticks? Never overlook a broken item and sometimes these pieces with their imperfections become the most creative and eye-catching pieces in a room. I personally have a broken bust laying on my dining table.
Consider these ideas. How about a bronze bust stood upright inside your fireplace (above the fireplace on the mantel works too but is definitely predictable) that keeps looking better and better after every flame licks its metal skin? What about a his and her bust on either end of your bed or a Venus de Milo bust wearing your favorite necklace on the dresser? How about a golden bust of Michael Jackson sitting on your bar top? Have some fun with these characters and manipulate them in a > way that adds a sense of chic whimsy to a room. Bathroom counter tops, in your library bookshelves, a foyer table, and even on the floor next to your favorite chair can be fabulous spots to play head games.
Shop for busts on line and at your favorite décor stores. Art stores often carry raw plaster busters which can be left au natural or painted a solid colour, gilded or really funky'ed up with crazy painted details. Secondhand, vintage and estate sales are also great spots to discover busts. Trust, you need a bust at home!

About Me Value Oriented
Met our needs perfectly. We have been very pleased with this product. Thought about buying a more expensive unit but now we are glad we went with value and simplicity over expensive with all the bells and whistles we probably would not use anyway.
Convenient and easy to use.

This is the one!

I have used many label makers and this is one of the best!!
My files never looked so good!
By Trying to get organized
from Fort Myers, FL
I love this label maker, my files have never looked this good! My only complaint is the long tape length that feeds before the print begins, making the labels too long to fit on letter size file folders without hand trimming. To get around that I type a bunch of labels in one long line and then cut them apart with scissors. It works but the labels end up all different lengths and renders their cutter unusable. Still it's much easier than using Word to print file labels and the results are nicer.
Just what I needed
By bmix
from Daphne, AL
Bought to satisfy needs other than print ship mail. Great for cleaning out and making new. Would recommend.
Much better than the freesanding model!
By Honeydip74
from Manassas, VA
I got this label maker because I needed one for my office and got tired of borrowing one from other people. I used a great coupon to save even more but I thought the price was great even without the discount I received. I love the sleek design, which is prefect for small spaces or tucking it away. The fact I can see the label on the computer screen is a major plus for me. My only complaint is as with the last label maker it leaves too much blank space in front of the label. I always have to trim at least 1/2 an inch. A waste of tape, but apparently there's no way around. This model does have a feature that keeps it from doing the same extra space on the back end of the label. It's SO easy to use, just plug and play, simple to add cute graphics, and I love that I can use so many more fonts and get really creative with my labels.
Good product but pricey tape

Without question, the best fins I've owned in 16 years of diving. I recently switched to these fins while diving in Thailand. Due to strong current at some of the dive sites (Similans / Koh Bon / Richelieu Rock) I was struggling to kick through and spent a lot of time and air to do so with my Atomic fins. Between liveaboard trips I picked these up and they were an absolute dream. Effort reduced by 60-80%, resulting in longer and more relaxed dives when faced with moderate to strong current. Were also excellent for all other conditions, including difficult surface swims.

I have used these fins on approximately 50 dives. They are good mid grade fins except for the snapping strap feature. Frankly speaking the ABS (Adjustable Binding System), is a major pain in a particular rear facing body part. The snaps open very hard and if you are not wearing gloves you have a good chance of hurting yourself. I have noticed that they have been opening easier with time, which make me think this feature is wearing out. I cannot recommend these fins.

Comments about Mares Avanti Quattro Open Heel Fins:
With the snap open buckles, it makes getting in and out of boats quick and easy without having to readjusting how tight it fits. One thing extra that I love is that mares packages a replaceable strap/buckle combo to keep in your save a dive kit for quick swap.

By Jungho

I've tried many fins... The seawing novas were too floppy, the jet fins were too heavy, the OMS slipstreams were too stiff... In the end I got these tried and true fins that allows me to use all finning styles effectively... They are no nonsense fins that get the job done... I put on a set of Atomic Universal spring straps and they are now my goto fins...

I was backing into a parking spot at a gas station-convenience store when a man burst through the store's doors and sprinted to a waiting car.
He hopped into the driver's seat, gunned the engine and raced off, bouncing the small black car across the sidewalk then slewing it sideways across three lanes of traffic to a nearby intersection where he made a left turn. Tires screeched as oncoming vehicles braked to avoid a collision with the car as it accelerated away. By all appearances, it was a robbery.
I was able to catch up to the car only because the driver pulled into another parking lot. When I came up behind him with my blue and reds flashing the driver got out of the car with his arms extended out to the sides.
"What the hell? I didn't do anything, go pick on someone else!" he shouted. "F****** cops! Don't you have anything better to do?"
Behind him, his car door was open. A pit bull sat on the front passenger seat and a large pit-bull-mastiff cross was in the back. Both dogs were looking at their owner, and while the pit bull appeared bored, the crossbreed in the back was on high alert. The dog grew increasingly agitated and started to growl. Not good.
I stood in the V of my open car door as the man stalked toward me, still shouting. I had to shout back to be heard. It wasn't until he got closer that he saw the black police dog staring at him from between the front seats of my SUV.
"Oooh, you have a dog. Well, I have two," he said. I think he was trying to sound threatening, but some of the aggression went out of his demeanour when I replied.
"That's nice. My one trumps your two, so close the door to your car."
He squinted at me, then walked backwards and clunked the door shut. The crossbreed went berserk.
In the background, sirens were growing louder as they closed in. I instructed the driver to place his hands on the hood of my truck. He did so, reluctantly, and kept up his loud diatribe as if trying to squeeze all the injustices of the world into the next few seconds before additional police arrived. That was fine. He could say whatever he wanted as long as he did what I said.
A minute later, the driver was in handcuffs and the parking lot was swarming with police cars. The appearance of the extra officers and the steel on his wrists had the desired effect. His aggression dissipated and he became polite as could be. "Yes ma'am." "No ma'am." "I'm sorry ma'am."
Turns out the driver had had an altercation with staff at the gas station, and while he did have some anger management problems he wasn't a criminal in a textbook sense of the word - he hadn't robbed the place.
His driving behaviour, on the other hand, was of the sort to make traffic court judges shake their heads. Pedestrians regularly criss-cross the gas station parking lot, and by chance, there weren't any present when the driver made his rapid exit. Then he somehow avoided a collision when making the left turn. The evidence of his very near miss with a nice cherry-red Ford Mustang was marked there in an impressive set of skid marks.
The polite "Yes ma'am" litany kept up until I issued the driver a ticket, at which point he fell silent, his shoulders slumped as he took in the hefty fine. He was more upset about the financial hit than the near misses, and I pointed out that fine of several hundred dollars were far less than the price he would owe if he had killed or seriously injured someone while having his temper tantrum.
I was not unkind when I said this, and having his behaviour equated to that of a toddler seemed to hit home. He took his ticket, his car and his dogs and was allowed to proceed, which he did so at a considerably more reasonable speed.

College & Pro Upsets Nov. 8-12
Thursday, Nov 8
VIRGINIA TECH over Florida State by 1
With only Maryland left to deal with on the conference slate, a win tonight in Blacksburg will likely send the Seminoles to the ACC title game and keep their slim national championship title hopes alive. Speaking of the ACC title game, it was the Hokies who topped the 'Noles, 44-33, in that same game two short seasons ago. But rather than revenge from the Sems, our PLAYBOOK.com database, AWESOME ANGLE on page 2 and TRIVIA TEASER (also page 2) calls for a repeat performance from the bewildered Hokies. Yes, Beamer's boys are an unheard of 4-5 to date, but the veteran head coach is at his best when the opponent enters with the better record. The Techsters are also a near-perfect 9-0-1 ATS as home dogs off a SU loss and 5-0 ATS in Game Ten of the season, which fi ts like the Bowden Family in a Cracker Barrel (is there any way ol' Bobby can
ever be left with one peg at that triangle game?) to FSU's 1-6 ATS Game Ten log and 1-6 ATS mark as weekday chalk. And while we realize that most of those numbers can be attributed to their former coach – including a 5-11 SU and 4-12 ATS mark with regular-season rest and revenge (0-7 ATS away when the conference foe is not off a double-digit win), this still looks to be a jumbo road task for Jimbo and the current staff. Thus, we'll grab the ridiculous two touchdowns as the Hokies put a second peg in the Seminoles' loss column.
Saturday Nov 10
SYRACUSE OVER LOUISVILLE by 11
The 'noose tightens' for the undefeated Redbirds as they fi nd themselves in the worst of this week's SMART BOX. Not only that, but Louisville is 1-7 ATS as road favorites off back-to-back SU wins and 1-5 ATS as chalk in this particular series, alone. In fact, this has completely been a dog of a series (both fi guratively and literally) with the pup covering eight of the last nine. It would also come as no surprise to see Louie's lightweight schedule (lined foes are 17-45 SU this season) come back to bite them today in the Carrier Dome. Some may argue that 4-5 Syracuse falls into that category, but the truth of the mater is that the under-the-radar Orange gain 95 YPG more than it allows. Sooner rather than later, this translates into wins (see last week's NC State/Virginia writeup when we 'Alerted' you to that same scenario). And while it's all good that the hardtrying Orange need two wins in their fi nal three contests to go bowling for the second time in three years, the clincher to this writeup comes courtesy of our PLAYBOOK.com database as it notes: the 'Cuse is 12-1 ATS as home dogs when allowing less than 27 PPG on the season versus undefeated opposition. Yep, Doug Marrone runs a 'tight' ship in upstate New York and the Cardinals are about to fi nd out just how tight. And there then were five (or maybe even four if you read our Upset Special fi rst) – unbeatens, that is! It's a take as the Orange squeeze out the victory.
TCU over Kansas by 6
The big question mark here is the availability of Kansas State QB Collin Klein. The Heisman frontrunner spent the fi nal 25 minutes of Saturday's win over Oklahoma State watching from the sideline after sustaining an 'undisclosed injury.' Don't expect cantankerous HC Bill Snyder to shed any light on the situation: he's sidestepped every inquiry about Klein and kept his own players confused about the severity of the situation. "Nobody knows what's going to happen," said wide receiver Tyler Lockett. "I think he's going to be able to play, we just don't know." Here's one thing we DO know – K-State's prolifi c offense managed a mere 6 points with backup QB Daniel Sams calling signals in place of Klein. And while Snyder's crew continues to charm enough computer programmers to remain in the 2nd spot in this week's BCS rankings, the fact is they are a huge SMART BOX fade here and have showed signs of cracking lately (outgained in the last two games). TCU head coach Gary Patterson doesn't have a lot of experience as a home underdog – the Frogs
haven't taken points at Fort Worth since 2006 – but he makes the most of the role, going 4-2 SU and 5-1 ATS, including fi ve covers in his last fi ve tries. This program expects to WIN every game, losing only four contests on the scoreboard in the four seasons prior to 2012. Not only has Patterson's squad suffered three defeats already this season, they'll be looking to snap a pair of back-to-back home losses when the Wildcats invade the lily pad this evening. With KSU QB Collin Klein wobbly at best, we'll go for the jugular with the Horned Ones.
HOUSTON over Tulsa by 4
After last week's puzzling no-show in Pirateland (blown out by ECU, 48-28), today's game is a last-gasp chance for the Cougars to take down CUSA West division leaders Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane currently sits at
a perfect 5-0 in conference play while Houston trails at 3-2, so it really is a case of now or never. Like many others in this loop, Houey needs wins in two of its last three games to garner a bowl bid (at Marshall next
week before wrapping up against Tulane). Our AWESOME ANGLE on page 2 really likes their chances… and so do we. The series favorite just so happens to be 0-4 SUATS at Robertson Stadium of late and we have
little doubt that the Hurricane will be peeking ahead to its Judgment Day showdown with 5-0 East division-leading UCF in Tulsa's regular season home fi nale. Cougars have won three of the last four against the
Hurricane (only loss by 3 points) and should dig down deep for 1st-year head coach Tony Levine. Put the dog collar on these Cats and hand 'em over… we're taking.
Pro Picks
San Diego over Tampa Bay by 7
The Bucs seem to have caught fi re since their Bye Week, bringing a 3-1 SUATS mark into this fray. It's not only caught the fancy of the linesmakers but the betting public as well. As a result, Tampa has been installed as the favorite against an opponent they've long struggled against, going 1-7 SU and 2-6 ATS in their franchise history (favored once, lost the whole game by 17 points). Adding to the Bucs' woes today is their 1-7-1 ATS record as a non-conference favorite, and a 1-8 SU and 0-9 ATS mark as a non-division host when facing an opponent off a SUATS win. On the fl ip side, the Bolts will contest a well-publicized 1:00 PM ET kick with the knowledge that they are 13-1 ATS as non-conference dogs during the 2nd quarter of the season (Games Five thru Nine). That, along with a defense that is 65 YPG superior, fi gures to be enough to extinguish any and all flames emanating from the locals at Raymond James Stadium today.
Tennessee over Miami by 6
Although the Dolphins are clearly one of the surprise teams in the league this season, something does not smell right. Behind rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill, they're 4-4 on the season, following a litany of failures the previous three years. A closer inspection, however, shows the party on South Beach may have reached its fever pitch. Not only are the Fish allowing 50 YPG more than they are gaining this season, they have also regressed 124 YPG in games played since October. A lot of that has to do with the fact that Miami has been outyarded in each of its last four games, making them a 'leaking oil' favorite – and we want no part of that. Not with the Dolphins a horrid 0-10 ATS as home favorites of 6 or more points. And not with Miami a distasteful 3-7 SU and 2-8 ATS all-time as a host against teams from the AFC South division. The Dolphins have coughed up season-high yards in two of its last three games and the Titans' 31-point loss to the Bears last week was much closer on the stat sheet (outyarded 358-333) than on the scoreboard. The Fish stink up the joint here today.
New Orleans over Atlanta by 11
Was the Saints' satisfying win over the Eagles Monday night a buysign, or simply a cause for celebration? That's arguable but what we know for sure is New Orleans has handled Atlanta with relative ease lately, winning 10 of the last 12 meetings between these two teams – including 7 of the last 8 games here in the Superdome. The Saints also love two-week stays on Bourbon Street where they are currently riding a 5-0 SUATS streak at home off a home game. Enter the high flying 8-0 Falcons who take a perilous 3-7 SU and 1-9 ATS mark into division games when playing off a pair of SUATS wins when tackling a .333 or greater opponent, including 0-4 SUATS if the foe is off a win into this contest. Granted, the Saints aren't what they were perceived to be but after an ominous 0-4 start to the season, they bounced back to go 3-1 SUATS in their last four games and have the look of spoiler written all over them. Drew Brees agrees, sporting a 10-3 SU and 11-2 ATS career mark against undefeated opposition, including 7-1 SU nd 8-0 ATS when he is facing 3-0 or better challengers. Add Brees' 26-10 SUATS career record in games against opponents off back-toback wins, including 18-3 ATS when not forced to lay more than 3 points, and just like that we've bought hook, line and sinker into
N'Awlins. The Dirty Birds are dead. Let the party begin
Detroit over MINNESOTA by 7
A quick glance at this week's MIDWEEK ALERT newsletter tells us all we need to no about the right side in this contest. The mellow Lions, just 4-4 on the season, have outgained all but one opponent (the 49ers) on the
stat sheet this campaign, while the 5-4 Vikings have been outgained in each of their last three contests. As a result, Minny allows more YPG than they gain whereas Detroit gains 91 YPG more than it allows. Toss in a case of major revenge from a 7-point home loss in which the Lions dominated in the stats (341-227) and we're on our way. The Vikes go yikes at home during the 2nd quarter of the season (Games Five thru Nine) when facing an avenging opponent, just 1-10 ATS. Minnesota is also a mournful 2-14- 1 ATS as chalk during the second half of the season in games against avenging division foes. Now, look to the left side of the odds and you'll find the right side of this game.

The Next "Facebook Platform" for the Modern Web, and Why Twitter's Running the Wrong Way
I mentioned earlier on Twitter that something about Twitter's new UI (which I've actually only seen screenshots and demos of since I'm not on their Press list) really bugged me but I couldn't put my finger on it. Perhaps it was hearing Ev emphasize "yet" when talking about CoTweet-like functionality. Perhaps it was hearing Jason Goldman talk about improving their "following" interface to something that I think could potentially threaten some of what I'm doing with my business. Perhaps it's the feature they just asked me to kill on SocialToo that I haven't announced yet. Perhaps it's their lack of a solid roadmap like Facebook has to warn developers of what's ahead and who will be replaced next. As a developer, every step like this Twitter makes is certainly a threat to my business model and anyone else like me. It's definitely a token to their closed nature. However I think it's much bigger than that.
I think Alex Payne, of whom I just became a big fan after his recent post on his perceptions of the new UI (a must read), said it perfectly, "all communications media will inevitably be decentralized, and that all businesses who build walled gardens will eventually see them torn down." Now, I don't think all walled gardens will die - Ev William's own original startup, Blogger.com, remained closed in a time where sites like LiveJournal and Wordpress were going completely open source and it was still bought by Google. In those days, going open source and giving people the opportunity to own their own data stored on each blog was the equivalent of federating social connections would be today - instead of owning content people would now have the opportunity to own their own relationships and port those from site to site if they choose, or host the relationships themselves if they also choose (I'm kind of doing that at http://community.staynalive.com/jesse). Blogger obviously survived and is now one of the largest blogging platforms on the planet.
Twitter's new UI, while I'm sure it will increase page views for them and bring them lots of money, is too late for Twitter to do any sort of innovation in this space. Facebook already did this, and they were called a "walled garden" as a result and are now trying to break out of this reputation as users were getting ready to revolt. Maybe that's what Twitter wants, and I'm sure it will make them a lot of money. They may even gain a large segment of the masses. Businesses will still flock and so will the money. I've mentioned Twitter's need to own the UI before, but I argue it's now too late to be focusing on that.
Twitter could however, have an opportunity to create a new wild west - a new playing field if they choose, a new canvas. If they do so they need to focus not on the UI, but on the platform and decentralizing it significantly. Then new opportunities arise such as payments, new service models, search, ad platforms and more that can still make them profitable. The difference is they're now spanning the entire web instead of their own walled garden.
I think Facebook started to make moves in this direction as they released Facebook Connect last year, and then Graph API this year along with no restrictions, redacted term limits on storage, and a push further and further away from building on their own UI. They introduced a new protocol in fact that enables websites to be indexed more properly and enables those websites to more easily bring Facebook connections into the experience. Facebook is moving from the walled garden approach out into the open web. Twitter, it seems, is moving in the complete opposite direction, which seems perplexing.
Even Facebook hasn't hit the nail on the head yet - maybe they'll make the first move at the next F8 conference. The next revolution of the web will be when one of these players that currently owns your Social Graph completely federates, creates a standard for others to follow, and then other companies are forced to follow as a result, forcing all the others to rush to find what they're good at which wasn't owning your data or social connections. Then at that point you will truly be allowed to bring your social connections with you wherever you go, allowing for a web with not only no login button, but one where your family and friends follow with you along the way. That's a really powerful concept!
Kevin Marks (who led the OpenSocial platform at Google) mentioned the irony in a tweet earlier today of installing the open source social network Diaspora as we were discussing Twitter's very centralized real time streaming API and federated environments. I think that Kevin may be part of the revolution and we just don't know it yet. If none of these players make a move, it will be the next open source project like Wordpress, or LiveJournal did in the early 00's that will emerge from the dust, gain traction, and the landscape will naturally adapt. It has to happen - it's going to happen, and the first big player to do it will lead the way. I'm excited to find out who makes that move and I'm already thinking of ways I can jump on that bandwagon as a developer.

Troup defeated Harris 39-36, Brookstone 63-12 and Shaw 54-18, despite three of the team's wrestlers being out with illness, including senior team captain Michael Mackfield.
"We did a very good job tonight," coach Chris Mitchem said afterward. "I see the kids improving, learning from day-to-day, taking coaching, getting more aggressive and getting used to our coaching style here."
Besides illness keeping some wrestlers out of the lineup, some were still awaiting results from the state mandated hydration test that wrestlers are required to submit to.
Athletes participating in wrestling must meet the body fat, weight, and hydration assessment data so a minimum weight, safe weight loss plan and daily nutrient goals can be established.
Wrestlers can then build a customized diet that honors his/her weight loss plan as per guidelines of the National Wrestling Coaches Association.
"They check to see how much water a kid has in their system when they check their weight," Mitchem explained. "The state now mandates now how much weight you can lose, what weight class you can wrestle at and how much weight you can lose based on body fat."
Tiger wrestlers ran into the same dilemma last Saturday at the Carrollton Duals, so much so that only Troup junior-varsity wrestlers were able to participate along with wrestlers from Carrollton, Eagles Landing and Mt. Zion.
The majority of Troup's varsity wrestlers had not been certified in the hydration test.
Meanwhile, Mitchem expects to have a full roster of wrestlers for this weekend's Northside High School Duals in Columbus.
Originally, Troup was to travel to Auburn High School for the Swede Umbach meet, but that meet was canceled, according to Mitchem.
The first-year head coach at Troup likes his team's chances this Saturday.
"If we stay healthy and we wrestle hard, I think we can come away with some type of trophy," Mitchem said. "I can't guarantee anything. It depends on how the kids react on Saturday. I think today was a big step toward getting better and trying to get to where we need to be at the end of the season."
Higlights from Wednesday's meet at Harris County include:
113 pounds – Cameron Cato defeated Heath Suich of Harris County on points.
120 pounds – John Meacham won three matches all by pin.

While the relocation of so many manufacturing jobs to China has fundamentally altered the structure of the U.S. economy, Schell believes blaming China for America's current economic malaise misrepresents the true situation.

text: 21 june 2013 AECM Annual Seminar Rome, Italy | AECM presents its view on COSME and Horizon 2020 in EP Workshop on Financial InstrumentsNews - 11/04/2012On Wednesday 11th April, Mr. José Fernando Figueiredo presented AECM's views of the future design of the CIP follow-up programmes COSME and Horizon 2020. The Workshop, organized by Policy Department A for the ITRE Committee and co-chaired by Mrs Teresa Riera Madurell, one of the MEPs Rapporteur for Horizon 2020, and by Mr. Jürgen Creutzmann Rapporteur for COSME, provided Members of the European Parliament with views and information regarding the different financial instruments, including guarantees. Mr. Figueiredo presented the added value of guarantees, which manage to achieve a relatively high multiplier effect of 8 euros of guarantees in portfolio for each euro of own funds. By benefiting from public counterguarantees and CIP funding in particular, AECM members have been able to achieve an even greater effect on access to finance for SMEs. According to the latest provisional figures for 2011, AECM members held over € 83 bn in portfolio and reached over 2,7 million SMEs. The importance of the CIP funds can clearly be put into perspective, when considering that guarantee institutions have achieved a total volume of € 5,3 bn of guarantees to over 137.000 SMEs over the programming period. Consequently, AECM members, who as non-profit promotional entities have a long-standing experience with EU programmes are looking forward to continuing their cooperation under COSME and Horizon 2020. There are however concerns regarding the design of the successor programme. AECM considers the threshold loan amount of € 150.000, which determines the separation between the two programmes as being too low. In effect, the financing of start-ups and business transfers would for most cases not be possible under COSME with such a low amount. Instead, a threshold guarantee amount of € 500.000 would be more adequate to address all operations of merit. The European Association of Cooperative Banks and other speakers held a similar view with regard to the inadequacy of this threshold. The Rapporteur concluded that some solution would have to be found but that it would at the same time have to be examined together with the budgetary envelope of COSME. MEP Paul Rübig, Rapporteur for opinion from the Budget Committee, stated that some additional funding could potentially be mobilized over the reallocation of unused budgetary means or proceeds from fines related to the infringement of EU competition rules. AECM also stated that under the current pilot programme for the Horizon 2020 guarantee facility, the Risk Sharing Instrument, Guarantee institutions are currently excluded from the scope of eligible financial intermediaries. This was obviously an unsatisfactory situation, as this creates an unlevel playing field between financial intermediaries. The guarantee facility under Horizon 2020 would build in fine on the experience of the pilot programme. The Commission representatives underlined that this was only intended for the pilot phase, since the funding of RSI was considered as being too low to spread it over too many intermediaries. Guarantee institutions would be fully admitted as intermediaries under the follow-up programme in the Framework of RSI. Furthermore, the Commission aimed at keeping the definition of innovation as wide as possible, in order to allow a large number of SMEs to access funds under Horizon 2020. This could even include SMEs that are not innovative but show future potential. The AECM Chairman called for more certainty with regard to the future design of these programmes. The Rapporteur voiced his concern about whether SMEs would be able to properly participate in Horizon 2020. The representative of the EACB also highlighted the relatively high bureaucratic complexity of the financial instruments and asked for simplifications in the future. The Rapporteur stated that also in this perspective, work could be done, but that there needed to be concrete proposals for simplification from the financial intermediaries.

Pickens was arrested for "Threats of Terrorist Acts" at Sherman Elementary School in Comfort.
Deputies were made aware that Pickens had been in the school on several occasions and made specific threats concerning a firearm, to the staff of the school.
Corporal B.G. Browning encountered Pickens inside the school this morning and Pickens had a firearm holster on his belt where it was visible to students and staff.
Boone County Schools Superintendent John Hudson said Pickens did not have a gun inside of the school.
"No individual, to my knowledge, brought a gun inside of the school," Hudson explained. "He had a firearm holster that was empty."
Police said Pickens also had in his possession a folding knife which is prohibited on school grounds.
However, in close proximity to the school and inside Pickens' vehicle, officers located a loaded .40 caliber semiautomatic handgun, according to the police report.
On at least two prior occasions this month, Pickens brandished the empty holster to the staff and made threats of not leaving his gun in his vehicle the next time he came in, according to police.
"This is why we called the police to the school," Hudson said.
Police said these acts made the staff fear for the safety of their lives as well as the lives of the children inside the school.
Pickens was taken before Magistrate C. Porter Snodgrass and arraigned Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 23, 2013. A $100,000 property bond was set.

This banner is such a nice quality with grommets and everything. It will not tear or rip. It was a little larger and heavier than I thought (M). Might be a little hard to hang because of the weight. I should have purchased the S. But overall awesome!

Collecting things is a hit or miss business. I had been thinking about a pair of shell and gold Trianon cufflinks for some months now, and when I finally decided to pull the trigger the other day found they had been sold just a few days before. That disappointment followed shortly after an eBay auction of an out of print book I had been seeking for years, where no sooner had I paid for the thing than the seller announced that he had sold it offline and no longer had it available.
At any rate, that is why when RJ announced that he would be in Paris this week with just enough free time to sneak into the local Hilditch & Key where, stuck in a drawer known only to a few, there were a couple Dame à la licorne themed scarves (similar to the tapestry in the photograph) that Hilditch had printed years ago in a blend of cashmere and silk that will likely never be seen again, there was no hesitation. And he reports that he has acquired the goods, though I will not celebrate until the package arrives safely.
This is a hit or miss business, but one out of three is not bad.

At long last...I HAVE DONE IT
Like (4)
I have finally done it! Today, with my FAD, on Mission, I got my first MOAB! Thanks to Marksman, Recon Pro and Hardline Pro
VICTORY. *insert Spetsnaz victory theme here*
Congratulations man!!
Good job!
Thats creepy..... but funny
Great job, you are the last person I've seen on the forums not get it after I got my first (still haven't got my second) and now you have gotten it. Congratulations good sir.
My first MOAB was with a Silenced ACR with heartbeat sensor. I was using assualt too.
No, bad! NO!
Had to
Good job.
Grats man. It's hard to find lobbies now-adays that you can get a moab in on the wii.
Nice, my first moab was on Dome, I was even thinking about getting one and suddenly a sign pops up on the screen saying MOAB 24 streak and I'm like, WTF
nice job broseph!
I have 269 MOAB's, worked my ass off. Stopping at 300.
Great job.
My first MOAB was with a silenced 50. Cal No ACOG.
I got one great MOAB today with my Master class!
It was TDM on Seatown.
P90 RoF,Silencer
five seven
SoH pro
hardline pro
Steady aim pro
Specialist:Scavenger pro,Assassin Pro,Dead silence pro.
Score: 34 - 2
Best moment of my whole MW3 gameplay
My first PUBLIC MOAB was right after the patch that fixed killstreaks. I was owning, it was underground and I was litterbugging, meaning I was picking up the gun from the person that I killed. I thought it was pretty awesome, considering I was picking up weird classes like freaking M4 acog scope and RSASS silencer, some weapons even had thermal scopes on them. Of course, the usual FMG9s i found on the ground really helped out a lot. I was also using assault, which helped A LOT, the helicopters were just owning, watching my back. I ended going 41-1(or so), with a 28 GUNSTREAK. But guess what? Treyarch screwed me over and didn't give me a MOAB. I thought "maybe I didn't get a 25 gunstreak". But then I checked my stats, and it turns out I got a 28 GUNSTREAK!!!! DAMN YOU TREYARCH!
My first REAL MOAB was in a private match. It was a 5vs5 private match, I think it was Momskirbyok hosting. I can't believe I actually got a MOAB, because everyone in that lobby was either my playing level or way above. That MOAB is the one im proudest of out of the two, because I wasn't playing against a bunch of scrubs who just got the game or who don't know what the hell they're doing, but I got a MOAB against good players who actually knew what they were doing.
Congratulations on your first MOAB. Now you can stop playing MW3
My proudest moab was when I got one on my clan leader and the second best guy in the clan. My clan leader being the best and the second best guy were both on the opposite team and it was a team tactical match of domination where all my clan decided to join in one game and randomly play against each other. And I gotta say that the guys I was going against were at least some of the best legit players. On top of that I now have bragging rights against my clan leader it was the greates moab of all time, well at least for me lol. Next round I got another one on the same people . Hehehe I think i used an acr or some assault rifle to get those 2 and that was also when i decided the acr was the best assault rifle
congrats codcanuck
I got a back to back moab today first on seatown then on bakaara fad silenced extended mags mp9 extended mags scavenger hardline stalker specalist soh marksman recon all pro.
Aside from that CONGRATULATIONS CODCANUK
Nice man my first was on carbon with the pm-9 hamr scope lol
Only one!?!?! Wow. You suck! I've got....wait....just one. Seriously good job.
Mine was on Dome. By the time I got it everyone raged quit except for one guy. So I got one kill out of it.
LOL. That's like the time my entire team ragequit except for me and the match became a 1v4
Congratulations codcanuck! Getting a MOAB isn't easy right?
My first MOAB was in Bootleg, and it was a team effort of the MK14. Perks were Blind Eye, Assassin Pro, and Stalker Pro (BEST perk imo) with a hint of FMG9 But it was mostly MK14 doing the work. Since then i've gotten 5 more MOAB's lol
Here's to more MOAB's in the future!
Congrats, I got my first one a few weeks ago and 2 more followed it soon after! Maybe its a sign that you'll get more!

After several months and a very hard work (notice it's been done using the "Stop Motion" technique) they had it ready for the audience. Here's what was released on 2009, with a very good acceptation. This even was on number 2 on the MTV Hip Hop lists in Spain during a while, just behind Snoop Dogg and Grand Master Flash! :) have a look, and a listen!
