About the Gray Whales
About the Gray Whales
Every spring, Gray whales journey with their
newborn calves from the protected lagoons of western Baja to their
ancestral feeding grounds in the cold waters of the Bering and
New research on the Eastern Pacific Gray whale shows that climate change is affecting the timing of the southward migration, the distance Gray whales travel, their diet and feeding areas and calf survival rate. Some scientists are concerned that the population is once again in decline.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures settled higher Monday, buoyed by a bout of short covering in the wake of Friday's Commitments of Traders report, which detailed a huge short position in the market. "The short position in gold is huge and potentially vulnerable," said James Turk, founder of GoldMoney. Gold and silver are "oversold and due for a bounce." April gold gcj3 settled at $1,586.60 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, up $13.80, or 0.9%. That was the biggest one-day gain this month. March silver sih3 added 53 cents, or 1.9%, to settle at $28.99 an ounce.

Welcome to my website!
I believe that words, if used well, contain great power to help people. Throughout my editorial career, I've used the words I communicate to help people in two main ways: to inform, and to inspire. Informative words enrich our lives with the knowledge and wisdom we need to make the best decisions. Inspirational words call us to focus on the part of ourselves that lasts forever — our souls — and lead us to discover what has eternal value.
You may have read the many articles I've written over the years about faith, for publications such as Crosswalk.com, About.com, The Salvation Army. I also have solid experience serving a wide variety of other publications (such as The Washington Post and Livestrong.com) covering other topics. Some of the topics I've covered so far in my career include:
* travel * health * nutrition * finances * cultural trends * marriage * parenting * aging * education * history * theater * dance * movies * art * television * food * the environment * wildlife * fitness * crime * charities * real estate * news
Please check out my portfolio and professional profile to learn more.
I'm also the author of the inspirational novel Dream Factory, which is set during Hollywood's golden age.

MORGANTOWN, WV (AP) — West Virginia University says it's partnering with MJR Evansdale Development LLC to build new student housing on the Evansdale campus.
WVU vice president for administration and finance Narvel Weese said Thursday the $90 million University Park development on seven acres is the third and final phase of the university's student housing master plan.
WVU acquired the property from MJR Evansdale Development for $26.9 million. WVU says the developers will privately finance the construction costs, and the project will revert to the university in 40 years.
Weese says the development includes an 1,100-bed housing complex, WVU and other food services, and retail development.
It will replace student housing at Fieldcrest Hall and the Medical Center and Pierpont apartment complexes.
The development is expected to be ready for occupancy in fall 2015.

April Storm Drops 19 Inches of Snow on Killington
Sarah Thorson, email@example.com
Killington Resort
While most ski resorts in the East are closed, Killington Resort re-opens the K-1 Express Gondola and 35 trails
KILLINGTON, Vt. (April 10, 2012) - Vermont's Killington Resort, the largest ski and snowboard resort in Eastern North America, receives 19 inches of snow from spring snow storm and it's still snowing. While other resorts in the East are closed or preparing to close, Killington is expanding terrain. The natural snowfall has allowed Ski Patrol to re-open 35 additional trails today on Killington and Snowdon Peak.
"We're thrilled with a late season snow storm, it's actually the biggest snowfall of the year - go figure, it's been a crazy season," stated Chris Nyberg, president and general manager for Killington Resort. "The new snow has allowed us to re-open the K-1 Express Gondola and several trails on natural snow," continued Nyberg. "We're committed to providing a long skiing and riding season for our season pass holders and guests and we plan to operate daily well into April."
Killington Resort was the first resort to open daily for skiing and riding in the East on October 29, only eight weeks after tropical storm Irene. So far, Killington has offered 165 on-snow days, the most in the East, and plans to be open daily through April, conditions permitting.
Lodging is still available for this weekend online at www.Killington.com, or through Killington Central Reservations at 800-621-6867.
Killington currently has 40 open trails, which translates to 15 miles or 154 acres, the most open terrain in the East. The Resort has received 152 inches of snow so far this season with an average mid-mountain base depth of 20-36 inches. Killington Resort will operate from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Lift tickets are $49 for Adults (19-64), $42 for Young Adults/Seniors (13-18/65+) and $34 for Juniors.
While skiers and riders are rejoicing with the outstanding powder conditions, road crews from the Vermont Department of Transportation are out in full force plowing, sanding and salting area roads.
High-res, downloadable images are available for publication.
About Killington Resort
Killington Resort is a four season destination that sits on 3,000 acres in the heart of the Green Mountains in Central Vermont. The Resort boasts more than 70 miles of diverse snow sports terrain spread out over six peaks and offers the most expansive lift network and snowmaking system in the East. After the snow melts, Killington features an 18-hole championship golf course as well as 45 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. In addition, the numerous après, dining, shopping and lodging options have made Killington a world-class destination for East Coast skiers and riders for over 50 years.

Monday-Friday 3to6 and all night Thursday
50¢WINGS $5 PIZZA 1/2 price DRAFT
The owners of Nino's Italian Restaurant and residents of the Magnolia Woods area, Elton and Randee Hyndman, recently took over Oscar's and are offering a new "made from scratch" menu. Everything is made in house from our whole wheat sourdough crust, to our oven roasted pizza sauce, to our ice creams! Chef Elton has taken the same approach to Oscars as he does at Nino's. A simple, fresh and even healthier take on traditional fare. Healthy pizza and ice cream? Our dough, pizza sauce, fresh pasta, salad dressings and homemade frozen custard are all made on site without any preservatives, just the raw ingredients necessary to make great tasting food. Even our mozzarella cheese has no unnecessary additives.
The Pizza
The San Franciscan sour dough starter was developed many years ago while living in Seattle. It is 100% organic whole wheat rye flour and is a live culture. It rode shotgun with me as I drove to make Baton Rouge my new home in 2007.
The Sauce has no sugar or preservatives. It is made fresh with onions, basil oregano, garlic and red wine. It is baked to give it a dark flavor that compliments the bright tomatoes.
Quality mozzarella is essential to any great pizza and we use a great cheese with just four ingredients; milk, salt, cheese culture and rennet.
Ice Cream
All our ice cream flavors start out with our basic vanilla custard that we make in small batches daily. The only ingredients are milk, cream, eggs, raw cane sugar, and vanilla bean. From this beautiful base we are able to have some fun and come up with interesting flavors that change periodically utilizing fresh seasonal ingredients whenever we can.

The leader is the conduit between the orchestra and the conductor
A concertmaster's role is not just about preparing music and deciding on bowing, it involves being a diplomat, psychologist, consultant, part-time conductor and, most importantly, maestro's coffee maker as well! The leader is the conduit between the orchestra and the conductor, and he or she has to command respect from everyone on the platform – motivating, mediating and calming frayed nerves as required.
As a leader you encounter conductors on their debut, ones who don't speak much English, or ones – as once happened to me – who turn up expecting to conduct a totally different programme from the one scheduled. If a player in the orchestra is having difficulty interpreting what the conductor wants, and either side becomes frustrated by this, the leader needs to step in and resolve the situation quickly and delicately. And if the conductor has an unhelpful stick technique or is demanding a style that the orchestra doesn't warm to, the leader needs to drive the orchestra forward with their own musical technique or movement of bow and violin. Oh, and did I mention that they need to be able to play the violin rather well, too?

Hi everyone, I'm kinda freaking out here. Had 3 BP readings yesterday (acupuncturist, MW's cuff and home BP cuff), all around 118/90. My diastolic number didn't hit 90 until 32-34 weeks last time, a couple of weeks before protein showed in my urine. Urine came back clear though.
Does anyone have experience with pressures similar to this, and know whether meds are recommended? This is my second pregnancy and I did have pre-e with my first but do not have hypertension normally.
Of course I have a US first thing this morning and am worried going in and worried what the MFM may recommend.

Ford today announced that the company, its employees and dealers are donating more than $1.2 million to nonprofits in the Louisville and Lexington areas this year.
As part of its new Operation Goodwill partnership with area Ford and Lincoln dealers as well as employees at its Kentucky Truck and Louisville Assembly plants, Ford is focusing its philanthropic efforts on areas of greatest concern to Louisville- and Lexington-area residents. These issues include children's welfare and education, veterans, health, hunger relief and tornado disaster relief.
"Louisville is known both for producing great Ford products – and for being a city of compassion," said Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. "Ford has always been a generous partner to Louisville, and we're delighted that it's expanding its philanthropic role in both Louisville and Lexington."
Said Lexington Mayor Jim Gray, "In working with Ford on the BEAM initiative, we've gotten to see first hand the company's commitment to Kentucky's future and Kentucky families. Ford is world-class. Whether it is manufacturing cars or building communities, the company knows how to bring resources together to make Kentucky a better place."
Community donations from Ford and its employees and dealers this year include:
"Ford is committed to making a difference within our communities," said Jay Morgan, Ford Governmental Affairs manager. "We listen to our customers and neighbors, and we know they're concerned about keeping people safe and healthy."
Through its two Louisville manufacturing operations and employees and through the Operation Goodwill partnership between Ford Motor Company Fund and area Ford and Lincoln dealerships, Ford expects to contribute approximately $2.5 million to organizations in the greater Louisville and Lexington areas during 2011 and 2012 combined.

Nassau County residents voiced their displeasure at the polls Monday, as the referendum that would allow for a new arena to be built for the New York Islanders in Uniondale was voted down.
The final numbers were not official when Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano and Islanders owner Charles Wang took the stage, but at 11:40 p.m. the duo threw in the proverbial towel with just 70 percent of the votes tallied.
"I have to tell you, I'm disappointed," Wang said. "To put it very bluntly, I'm heartbroken."
"I can tell you this, tonight is not the end of our journey, but merely the beginning," Mangano added. "In the coming weeks I will explore a path for new opportunities and growth in Nassau County."
According to the Nassau County Board of Elections, as of 1:30 a.m., with 99.83 percent of the votes counted, the margin was 88,389 against and 66,829 for – or 56.95 percent to 43.05 percent.
It is uncertain at this time whether Islanders owner Charles Wang will attempt to continue with the project and fund it himself.
Wang said it was "a very emotional time" for him and his staff, and would not discuss anything further about any possible next step for the property. He went on to say that the team is committed to Nassau County until 2015, when the current lease on the Coliseum expires.
"In the coming weeks, we will seek additional options for this property," Mangano added.
Also on the referendum was the construction of a minor league baseball stadium that would be built across the street from the current Coliseum at Mitchel Field. Back in July, County Executive Ed Mangano said that the ballpark would be looked at as a potential self-supporting, individual location.

Hi, this is amalloc of SamBakZa.
This is the last episode of "There She Is!!" series.
I'm very happy for that I can completed this series as I thought.
"There She Is!!" was not a series when I make first one.
I didn't have any plan to make this as a series.
I surprised at all the letters, reviews, cheers, donations, fan arts and the others!!
It make me to draw more "There She Is!!".
So, thank you very much to NG, Tom, and all fans.
Thank you for giving me happy 5 years.
I hope you have a good time with this short animation.
The full title is "There She Is!! final step - Imagine"
(12/20) ======================
Thank you very much for the front page!! (so fast @_@)
Thank you very much for all the reviews!!
Thank you very much for all the score!!
... My English is useless like this time. All I can say is "Thank you very much!!" ;;;
Anyway, Thank you very much NG and all reviewers!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars January 14, 2014
I watched this series when I saw this final video on the front page years ago. It still moves me so much. I never thought an animation could be so inspiring, but this just proved me downright wrong. I would have loved to see so many more of these videos. Heck, I would've watched a full-blown TV series.
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 31, 2013
I love it... I watched this when it first came out... and i still love it. This is what flash was all about. Simple, sweet, and to the point. Watched the other steps here at the end of 2013.
P.S. I watched this at the beginning and the end of 2012 and now 2013. I will probably continue in 2014. But whether I do or not, the 5 steps SimBakZa has made for us will continue to be a part of me as long as i live. The ideals, philosophies, animation, or even the simple music (that I can't understand fully without the english translation) I will treasure them and continue to reflect on them.
P.P.S. I think at this time There She Is!! final step and all the other flashes by SimBakZa should be considered classic Newgrounds. You can't be a Newgrounder without watching the "O.G. Flashes" (like "There She Is" or "Pico") or the "O.G. Flash Artists" (like Tom or LegendaryFrog).
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 28, 2013
nice bitter and sweet as allways awsome
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 27, 2013
i love it it was so cool i have oen
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars December 27, 2013
All my feels are belong to TSI!! Very cute :3

Professional Practice Model and Care Delivery System
The Penn State Hershey Nursing Professional Practice Model (PPM) is Nursing Excellence through Empowerment. This theme has been in use since the advent of our Magnet journey; and incorporates nursing practice within Penn State Hershey Medical Center and Penn State Hershey Medical Group. Nursing Excellence through Empowerment is supported by the organization's missions and values. The PPM is a pyramid shape, with a wide, solid base providing a firm stable structure. The pyramid shape in ancient history signified endurance. The PPM has multiple building blocks that represent the complexity of the health care environment. The Care Delivery System (CDS), known as the Collaborative Care Transition System, is at the pinnacle of the PPM. Collaborating across disciplines is what we as nurses do every day; and describes nursing care and interventions in both inpatient and outpatient care.
The four missions of the organization (Clinical, Academic, Research, and Community) are why we exist as a health care organization. The pyramid contains and depicts our organizational values. The values are how we perform our work and are shared by all employees at Penn State Hershey. As a Department of Nursing, we embrace the organizational values:
Respect – for everyone
Trust – honesty and integrity in everything we do
Teamwork – in resource allocation, responsibilities, rewards, and governance
Compassion - for everyone
Diversity – of our workforce, patients, students, and leaders
Excellence – the constant pursuit in everything we do

Saving Money With Hotel Suites
If you are going on vacation, the price of your lodging will depend on how many people are coming along. If you have a larger family, one hotel room is simply not going to be enough, especially if you plan on staying for more than one or two nights. You may be able to share a room with another couple for one day, but it won't work out if you are going for a week, or a long weekend. Think about using hotel suites so that you can get everyone in one comfortably while saving a little money all at the same time.
Some may recommend that you get adjoining hotel rooms rather than getting hotel suites when you are traveling with a larger group. This is great to keep everyone together, but it still costs the same as getting two hotel rooms. The door is just a bonus but does not affect the price. You could try asking for a discount, but you may not get it. Instead, hotel suites are usually more money than a single room, but are also usually cheaper than paying for two or even three rooms at once.
You won't always have more beds to work with if you get hotel suites rather than rooms, but you can usually find a pull-out couch in the living area of the room. You can also ask to have cots brought up to the room. You may or may not be charged for these. Find out before you book your hotel suites. You may not think that a hotel would waive any charges just to help you save money, but some of them will. These are tough times, and they are just happy to have the rooms occupied. If you save money, you may come back, and that is even more valuable to them.
If you choose hotel suites, you may have to pack a little differently. That does not mean much in the way of clothing, but think about taking some household items with you. If the hotel suites you have booked have a coffee maker, you may not get much coffee. Instead of using the small amount they offer, take a supply of your own with you. If your suite has a refrigerated unit included, you can take some food items with you, or buy them when you get there, to save on eating out. The more you eat in room, the less you spend in restaurants.
Hotel suites are not nearly as numerous as rooms, so if you think that you want to use suites to save money (or just because you want the extra room), try to book as early as you can so that you can be sure you get what you want. If you can not find hotel suites through any of the online travel sites, try calling the hotel directly. Sometimes, they have suites available but not through the online sellers or even their own online web site. Also, ask them for a discount. You may not get it, but it never hurts to try. They may offer you a free membership to their guests programs, which gives you savings each time you stay.

Can Supervalu Survive?
Dr. Osman is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Supervalu (NYSE: SVU) is one of the oldest wholesale and retail food stores in North America. Established in 1871, the company survived several worldwide recessions. However, Supervalu has been going through tough days, recently. It is losing market share due to intense competition in the business. The stock lost almost 60% in this year alone. Although the stock looks like a bargain at the current prices, I am not sure whether it is a good stock to invest now. In this article, I dig deeper into the company's recent financials and -more importantly- into the debt issue to prove my point.
Second Quarter Results
At the end of second quarter, Supervalu's net sales stood at $8.0 billion in comparison to $8.4 billion last year. The fall in sales was primarily due to the disposition of retail fuel centers and the decline in identical store sales. Identical store sales were affected by the distressed consumer, and ongoing investment in obtaining competitive pricing. The company produced gross profit of $1.72 billion, or 21.4% of net sales. However, in the same period, last year, the company produced gross profit of $1.87 billion or 22.2% of net sales. The decline in gross margins may be a warning signal. The gross margin has reduced primarily due to promotional activities and increased level of competitive pricing.
At the end of second quarter, retail food operating earnings stood at $59 million, or 1.1% of net sales. The retail food segment generated net sales of $5.20 billion in comparison to $5.61 billion the previous year, a decline of 7.3%. The decline primarily reflects the reduction in identical store sales. The company's operating margin from retail food also went down by almost 50%. Now that is another warning signal. The retail food segment forms the backbone of Supervalu's business model, and the profit reduction in this segment can be highly costly to the company and shareholders.
A relatively small portion of sales came from the Save-A-Lot segment. Sales in this segment stood at $973 million which is slightly higher than the previous year. However, operating earnings dropped to $34 million compared to $50 million in the previous year quarter, which is also another red flag.
Cash Flows
It is pleasing that the corporation continues to produce substantial cash flow. In the first half of 2013, Supervalu generated cash flows from operating activities of $415 million. However, this represents a sharp decline of $165 million. Cash flows used from investing activities stood at $307 million in comparison to $203 million last year. The increase in investing activities was due to higher payments for capital expenditures.
Supervalu needs cash at the moment, and the company is estimated to generate $950 million in cash flow through the end of fiscal year. Supervalu will also likely gather cash from the proceeds of asset sales. The company might also issue additional debt as it generated about $117 million of cash flows from financing activities in the second quarter.
Debt Issue
Supervalu has been battling with huge debts. Presently, the debt situation is extremely serious, specifically in comparison to the industry average. The company has about $6 billion of long term debt and lease obligations. In the first quarter of this year, Supervalu managed to complete two debt financing deals, totaling $2.5 billion. This credit facility gives the company better financial flexibility, aiding it to roll off current debts. Thus, despite current challenges, the company is taking positive measures to resolve the situation. Supervalu currently expects debt reduction for financial 2013 to be in the range of $400 to $450 million. Capital expenditure are forecasted to be in the range of $450 to $500 million.
Source: Finviz.com
Supervalu's main industry peers are Safeway (NYSE: SWY), Kroger (NYSE: KR), and Whole Food Market (NASDAQ: WFM). Supervalu generated a steady gross margin of 22.21% in 2012 and 22.41% in 2011. However, the company is a loss-maker and it produced negative earnings in the previous year. Safeway, Kroger and Whole Food Market generated operating margins of 2.37%, 1.61%, and 6.36%, respectively. It is clear from these gross margin numbers that the grocery industry has very slim operating margins on sales.
It also seems that Supervalu is struggling with insufficient growth in its operating activities. The corporation's operating income fell for fiscal 2012. Furthermore, Supervalu is susceptible to financial leverage as it took on a new $2.5 billion of debt in the last quarter.
Foolish Summary
Supervalu continues to lose market share and underperform its industry peers. The purchase of Albertson's doubled the company's supermarket base, which now works under twelve different banner names. The management also launched a number of initiatives to reverse market share losses, which so far have been unsuccessful in the face of industry headwinds.
According to government data, the traditional grocery channel has dropped nearly 20% market share to wholesale clubs and supercenters during the last quarter century. Therefore, the firm has a very high fair-value uncertainty rating. It is unfortunate for the shareholders that Supervalu has not developed an economic moat to protect its market share. It is also very likely that the trend of the food market share shifting to supercenters and wholesale clubs will continue over the next decade. Whether Supervalu can survive this trend or not brings substantial uncertainty to the company's future prospects.

General Motors vs. Ford: Calling a Winner
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Related companies are a common comparison. Look at Mastercard (MA) and Visa (V), Nike (NKE) and Under Armour (UA), or in this case, Ford (F) and General Motors (GM).
While it would be easy to compare the companies' earnings per share growth or revenue models all night, it wouldn't be very helpful. Investors can do that on their own and it takes all of five minutes to figure out.
In this case, there's one glaring obstacle that makes comparing the two companies all the more difficult: General Motors' recent bankruptcy.
GM's 2009 Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing marked the low point for the U.S. auto industry. Unlike GM and Chrysler, Ford was able to stave off bankruptcy under CEO Alan Mulally's effective leadership -- but only barely, as the stock price traded down to roughly $1 per share.Shares of Ford have been incredibly strong this year, and admittedly, I've been quite bullish. But what about its Detroit brethren? When you consider that General Motors sold 9.29 million vehicles in 2012, second only to Toyota Motors' (TM) 9.75 million, it seems odd that Ford is generally heralded over GM. For what it's worth, GM took home the crown for top seller in the year prior, in 2011. Part of what likely helped GM gain so many auto sales in the past -- it was the reigning top auto seller for eight decades until 2008 -- was the amount of brands it used to own, like SAAB, Hummer, and Pontiac (the list goes on for a while). Presently, it's been pulling home a large piece of the U.S. domestic sales pie. Year-to-date, General Motors holds 18% of U.S. auto sales, besting Ford by 2%. Its 2.34 million auto sales also trump Ford's 2.08 million units.
Brand to Brand For the record, though, as far as individual brands go (rather than by company), Ford is the top-selling name in the states for 2013, as well as in 2012. It also boasts the top-selling vehicle, the F-Series truck. Of course, it only makes sense that the Chevy Silverado is in second.
There's another important consideration when it comes to brand: Luxury. Each company has its own luxury line. General Motors has Cadillac and Ford has Lincoln. To be frank, the latter is getting its ass kicked by the former, plain and simple.
Year-to-date, Cadillac has sold 148,200 units, more than double Lincoln's 66,980. Mulally is making a point to fix Lincoln's luxury image, but so far, the sentiment hasn't shifted much. Although Lincoln's sales for the month of October increased 38% year-over-year, the brand is still lagging its total sales in 2012 of 82,150 vehicles. Even if it does best those numbers by year-end, annual sales growth will only be flat, or near flat, for 2013. Compare this to Cadillac, which grew October sales 9.5% from last year, and is within 1,000 units of matching 2012's total figures (after only 10 months this year). Buick, another General Motors brand, has also done fairly well, selling just north of 175,000 units this year. Cadillac is flat out owning Lincoln, and that's hard to argue with.

If at some point during the Washington Redskins' season Robert Griffin III is running for his life behind a depleted offensive line, don't just blame Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan.
Blame John Mara.
The New York Giants co-owner led the charge in the heavy-handed salary cap penalty that cost the Redskins $18 million in cap space both this season and the next. He is the reason the Redskins are pulling offensive linemen like Jordan Black -- out of football and on the verge of opening up a health club -- off the street for line depth.
It appears there might have been some personal motivation by Mara and the other owners vs. Redskins owner Dan Snyder and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, whose team took a two-year, $10 million salary cap hit.
If so, it's payback time. And thanks to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the Redskins may have a chance to stick it to Mara -- at the very least make him squirm a little bit.
The can try to steal the 2014 Super Bowl from MetLife Stadium -- the home of the Giants.
Gov. Christie is going to battle the NFL and other leagues in a bid to legalize sports betting in New Jersey. Mara told reporters that while he was not concerned about the status of the 2014 Super Bowl, "I don't think there's a chance in the world of us getting another Super Bowl."
Christie told reporters he spoke with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell recently, and he has no concerns the league will try to pull the game at this late date in retaliation for the gambling bid.
"Do I have any direct assurances?" Christie said. "No, I haven't."
You have to believe the only thing Goodell hates more than players and coaches putting up money to knock out opponents is NFL fans legally being allowed to put up money to bet on games. I think Goodell would love to hold the 2014 game over Christie's head, but at this late planning stage, he has few options.
But Snyder could give him one.
Washington made a bid in 2003 to host the 2008 Super Bowl, and, it lost out to Arizona. Dust that plan off and send it to NFL headquarters. The short notice logistics with the move would be a nightmare, but if any place can pull it off, it's Washington.
Include a note that says, "Roger, we stand with you in the fight against New Jersey and sports betting and want to offer a hammer to drop on him. Washington stands ready and willing to host the game on short notice if need be."
At the time of the penalties, Mara declared the Redskins were "lucky" the punishment wasn't worse.
It could get worse -- for Mara.

20 of the world's top selling phones
Summary: UPDATED. Samsung and Apple phones may today rule the smartphone market roost today, but the most popular phones and smartphones were in fact sold almost a decade ago. Here are some of the top selling mobile phones since the the start of the new millennium.
2 of 21Image
The best selling cell phone since 2000 is...?
The golden age of feature phones is all but over, but their presence on the post-millennium market helped rake in more revenues than most best-selling smartphones of today. The reality is that while Apple can sell 47 million iPhones in a quarter and Samsung can sell 20 million Galaxy smartphones, just ten years ago the figures were just as high but were limited to just one phone model.
One relic of the feature phone past was able to sell more than 200 million of just one phone model since its launch. Today, not one single iPhone model was able to even come close to that figure.
Here's a run down of the most popular cell phones and smartphones in the post-2000 market.
Figures are approximate. (Data sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, PDF)
LG Shine: ~8 million
LG's second installment in the Black Label Series managed to sell around 8 million devices during its heyday in 2008. Thanks to the handset's release in South America and Europe, the slider-phone maker sold 5 million in just one year alone. By the time it was discontinued it had sold around 8 million.

Motorola Droid Bionic: ~13 million
Motorola's delayed touch-screen smartphone got off to a bad start, after delays and some owners complaining of audio troubles when it was eventually released. Still, sales shot through the roof after just a few months. It's estimated that 13 million Droid Bionic smartphones in two years. However, sales could've been better if the device wasn't locked into a Verizon exclusive deal in the U.S. market, but those who did buy it were able to use the carrier's 4G LTE network.

UK's News of the World hacked murdered girl's phone, says lawyer
A private detective working for
Britain's News of the World tabloid hacked into voicemail
messages left on the mobile phone of a murdered schoolgirl while
police were searching for her, a lawyer for her family said on
Mark Lewis, of solicitors Taylor Hampton, said police
investigating phone hacking by the paper had told the parents of
Milly Dowler that their daughter's own phone had been
intercepted illegally.
He said the family planned to sue the paper, owned by News
International, part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp .
The disclosure comes days after British government gave its
backing for News Corp to buy out British pay-TV group BSkyB,
rejected complaints the move would give Murdoch too much power
and influence.
The government has announced a final consultation period
until July 8 to consider further undertakings to guarantee the
editorial independence of BSkyB's Sky News.
Five people have been arrested by detectives investigating
assertions that journalists on the News of the World hacked the
phones of members of the royal family, politicians, celebrities
and sports stars to listen to their voicemail messages.
The paper said in April it would admit liability and pay
compensation in eight cases, although lawyers say many more
suspected victims will seek compensation.
Milly Dowler, a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Surrey, south
England, disappeared in March 2002, prompting nationwide search.
Her bones were found six months later in a wood. Last month a
former nightclub doorman was convicted of her murder.
"Who was at the News of the World thinking it was
appropriate to try and hack into the phone of a missing young
girl?" Lewis told BBC television.
"It is distress heaped upon tragedy to learn that the News
of the World had no humanity at such a terrible time.
"The fact that they were prepared to act in such a heinous
way that could have jeopardised the police investigation and
give them false hope is despicable," he added.
Opposition Labour politician and former deputy prime
minister John Prescott said it was not too late for the
government to hold up the News Corp-BSkyB deal.
"These people are not fit and proper persons to be running
our major media," he told BBC radio.
The government has said the hacking investigation will not
affect its decision on BSkyB, saying that was related solely to
the issue of media plurality.
A spokesperson for News International said it had been
cooperating with the police investigation.
"This particular case is clearly a development of great
concern and we will be conducting our own inquiries as a result.
We will obviously co-operate fully with any police request on
this should we be asked," the spokesperson said.
Last month film star Sienna Miller's privacy and harassment
claim against the News of the World was settled for 100,000
Who's who in the hacking scandal
Below are some of the key figures in the saga.
Chairman and Chief Executive of News Corporation, the world's largest news conglomerate, which he founded.
News Corp's operations span television, film, newspapers and advertising. Businesses include U.S. cable network Fox, and The Wall Street Journal newspaper, as well as some of Britain's best-selling papers: The Sun, News of the World and The Times.
Australian-born Murdoch was ranked by Forbes magazine as the 13th most powerful person in the world in 2010 and the 117th richest in the world, with a net worth of over $6 billion.
He became a U.S. citizen in 1985 so that he could buy American television stations.
Murdoch's News Corp is currently seeking to buy out British satellite broadcaster BSkyB, a deal expected to cost at least $15 billion, and final government approval for the deal is expected shortly.
A man who easily commands audiences with world leaders, Murdoch's newspapers in particular are believed to wield enormous political influence. In 1992, The Sun declared "It's the Sun Wot Won It" after it campaigned vigorously against Labor leader Neil Kinnock in an election that delivered an unexpected Conservative victory.
Chief executive of News International, the British newspaper arm of News Corp.
Born Rebekah Wade, the 43-year-old has worked for the Murdoch empire since the age of 20, joining Sunday tabloid the News of the World as a secretary before moving to The Sun daily. In 2000, she was appointed editor of the News of the World, making her, at the time, the youngest ever editor of a British national newspaper.
She moved on to edit The Sun in 2003, becoming its first female editor, and spent six years at the helm before her appointment as chief executive of News International.
Brooks rarely gives interviews. In 2003, she told a parliamentary committee her newspaper had paid police for information although News International later said this was not company practice.
Brooks, formerly married to a star of television soap opera "Eastenders," is considered one of Rupert Murdoch's most trusted executives and is politically well-connected. She and her second
husband, a former racehorse trainer, are reported to be regular guests at Prime Minister David Cameron's Oxfordshire home.
On Tuesday, she said she was "sickened" at allegations the News of the World had hacked into the voicemail messages of missing schoolgirl Milly Dowler, later found murdered, in 2002. The Guardian newspaper said an investigator for the paper had also deleted some messages to make room for more, misleading police and the girl's family into thinking she was alive.
"I hope that you all realize it is inconceivable that I knew or, worse, sanctioned these appalling allegations," she wrote in a memo to staff, adding that she would not resign.
The prime minister became linked to the scandal after he appointed as his director of communications Andy Coulson, who had been News of the World editor during the time that most phone-hacking is alleged to have taken place at the tabloid.
Cameron said that if allegations were true that a private investigator hacked into the phone of missing teenager Milly Dowler, "this is a truly dreadful act."
Coulson resigned as News of the World editor in 2007 after one of his reporters and a private investigator were convicted of hacking into phones of members of the royal family, although Coulson insisted he knew nothing about the phone hacking.
He then resigned as Cameron's communications director earlier this year after fresh allegations surfaced that connected journalists at the paper to a spate of other attempts to hack the voicemail of politicians and celebrities. He said media coverage of the scandal made it impossible to do his job.
Hunt is the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport. He has final say over whether News Corp should be allowed to buy out BSkyB after Business Secretary Vince Cable was stripped of the decision-making power late last year.
Cable lost the right to adjudicate on media deals after he was taped "declaring war" on Rupert Murdoch.
Hunt last week rejected complaints the News Corp buyout of BSkyB would give Murdoch too much power and influence, effectively clearing the way for the multi-billion-dollar deal.
However, he announced a final consultation period until July 8 to consider further undertakings designed to guarantee the editorial independence of Sky News.
CLIVE GOODMAN and GLENN MULCAIRE
Clive Goodman, who reported on the royal family for the News of the World, was jailed for four months after writing stories based on illegal phone taps carried out by private detective Glenn Mulcaire for which he paid with cash.
Mulcaire, who was jailed for six months, was also paid an annual retainer of 100,000 pounds ($160,000) by News of the World for other investigative services.
Aged 13, she went missing on her way home from school in the London suburb of Walton on March 21, 2002. Despite a huge police hunt and massive publicity, her body was found only six months later. This year, convicted killer Levi Bellfield was tried for and, on June 23, found guilty of the teenager's murder.
Timeline of hacking revelations
British Prime Minister David Cameron condemned the alleged hacking of a murdered schoolgirl's voicemail by the News of the World on Tuesday, part of Rupert Murdoch's media empire.
The scandal comes at a time when News Corp is pursuing a takeover of UK pay-TV firm BSkyB , which will be its biggest ever acquisition costing at least $15 billion if it goes ahead.
Here is a timeline of events in the long-running scandal:
2000 — Rebekah Wade is appointed editor of Britain's best-selling Sunday tabloid News of the World. She begins a controversial campaign to name and shame alleged paedophiles, leading to some alleged offenders being terrorised by angry mobs, and also campaigns for public access to the Sex Offenders Register, which eventually comes into law as "Sarah's Law".
2002 — Teenager Milly Dowler disappears in Walton on Thames, Surrey in March. Her remains are found in September.
2003 — Wade becomes editor of daily tabloid The Sun, sister paper to the News of the World. She tells a parliamentary committee her newspaper has paid police for information although News International later says this is not company practice.
November 2005 — News of the World publishes story on Prince William's knee injury. This prompts complaints by royal staff members about voicemail messages being intercepted. The complaints spark a police inquiry.
January 2007 — The News of the World's royal affairs editor Clive Goodman is jailed for four months.
– Goodman listened to voicemail messages left for the press secretary of Prince Charles and also for two officials who worked for his sons, princes William and Harry.
– His accomplice, private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, is given a six-month prison term. Goodman and Mulcaire admitted in November 2006 to plotting to unlawfully intercept communications while Mulcaire also pleaded guilty to five other charges of unlawfully intercepting voicemail messages.
– After the two were sentenced, News of the World editor Andy Coulson resigns, saying he took "ultimate responsibility".
June 2009 — Rebekah Wade becomes CEO of News International. Wade marries Charlie Brooks and becomes Rebekah Brooks.
July 2009 — The left-leaning Guardian newspaper says News of the World reporters, with the knowledge of senior staff, had illegally accessed messages from the mobile phones of many celebrities and politicians while Coulson was editor.
– Actors Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, Australian model Elle Macpherson and former British Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott were among those targeted, the Guardian says.
September 2009 — Les Hinton, chief executive of Dow Jones and previously the executive chairman of Murdoch's newspaper arm in Britain, tells a committee of legislators any problems with phone hacking was limited to one, already well publicised case, reiterating what he told the committee in 2007. He said they had carried out a wide review and found no new evidence.
February 2010 – The House of Commons Culture, Media and Sports Committee says in a report it is "inconceivable" that managers at the News of the World did not know about the practice, which the legislators said was more widespread than the Sunday newspaper had previously admitted.
