Tots decide when it's time to ditch the diaper, but parents figure out how their boys will learn to pee. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests training boys to sit on the potty so there is no confusion between urination and bowel movements. Many moms prefer to teach their sons to stand so they can pee like their fathers, and do so faster. Seventy-one percent of moms said they taught their boys to sit. Some mothers said they chose this method to cut down on cleanup, and then there were those who opposed the practice because they felt it was emasculating.

PLAYERS: Tom Brady
TEAMS: New England Patriots
TEAMS: New England Patriots
Here are the facts New England Patriots fans need to take some time to think about with regards to Tom Brady. Brady has two years left on his five-year contract extension from 2010, and is due $43,600,000 dollars over the next two seasons. This is partly because he restructured his contact for 2012 to save the Pats some money. It's always painful to talk about when the Pats will, or should, pull the plug on Brady, however, you have to start talking about it at some point... Read more

You can't just look at the history with the Pats and other players... like law, malloy, ect ect and assume that Brady must fall into the same situation...

Is Pauline Lan seeing a younger man?
Taiwanese host Pauline Lan has been romantically linked to yet another younger man, after the latter was spotted freely entering her home and even staying for two nights.
The veteran artiste had earlier been romantically linked to 2moro's Anthony Guo and actor Blue Lan, who are both more than ten years younger than her.
In early July, the 48-year-old was spotted returning home with a 30-year-old man after a gathering with her friends. The younger man was extremely attentive towards Pauline, helping her onto the backseat before he settled down on the passenger seat. They headed straight for Pauline's home, and did not reappear for the rest of the night.
The duo were only spotted after 15 hours, when they went for a meal at Hsinchu. They behaved very comfortably with each other during the "date", and returned to Pauline's home at around 6p.m. in the evening. Although the man left twice after that, he eventually still returned to the house.
According to reports, Pauline's supposed new beau is "Tim", a businessman who indulges in music in his free time. He is well acquainted with many artistes in Pauline's circle of friends, and often writes posts regarding Pauline on his social media, such as sharing his thoughts on her concert DVD and the food at her restaurant.
Yesterday, Pauline's manager responded to the rumours, denying their authenticity. She claimed that Tim is one of the star's god sons, and had been at her house along with many others to watch the World Cup.

Erik Spoelstra Working on Extension With Miami Heat
9/30/13 in NBA | aaronjchung | 264 respect
Despite being one of the youngest coaches in the NBA, at just 42-years-old, Erik Spoelstra has already won two NBA championships and is now finalizing a multi-year extension with the Miami Heat.
As a disciple of Pat Riley, Spoelstra preaches defense to a team without a legitimate shot blocker by having one of the best perimeter defenses in the game. And much like Phil Jackson, Spoelstra has proven that he can bring superstars together by placing a NBA championship above their egos. A task that even the best coaches have miserably failed at.
The terms of Spoelstra's contract remain undisclosed, but will be made known towards the beginning of the season. However, expect Spoelstra to be the Miami Heat coach for many more years to come.

By Matt Patches, Hollywood.com Staff
2012 will end with two major James Bond milestones: the 50th anniversary of the series (Dr. No was released on Oct. 5, 1962) and the release of the franchise' 23rd entry, Skyfall. Even with a sexy lifestyle, blockbuster action and genuine charm, Bond's lengthy lifespan seems downright impossible. How does one character last this long?
According to Skyfall producer Barbara Broccoli, who spoke to Hollywood.com for the EPIX documentary Everything Or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007, Bond has remained a pop culture staple thanks to his timeless source material, novels written by author Ian Fleming that were first brought to life by her father, Albert ""Cubby"" Broccoli. ""[Cubby] always said, 'Whenever you're stuck, go back to Fleming.' When we're in story conferences working on the script, we bear that in mind. Fleming provides a solution.""
For the new Broccoli describes her upbringing as one closely tied to the Bond franchise. Spending time with her father meant spending time on the sets of 007 productions a crash course in making movies that would eventually help her produce her own. Cubby segued from his role as the franchise's main producer after 1989's Licence to Kill. His daughter, along with stepson Michael G. Wilson, stepped up from Associate Producer to take over for 1995's GoldenEye. ""There was some trepidation about stepping into the role, but I was excited,"" says Broccoli. ""The thing I learned from the my father was the passion and the commitment. So I brought that to the job. And my father was there for me a guiding force.""
While Broccoli applauds Cubby for holding the Fleming books on a pedestal, she also suggests her father was already ready to collaborate and react to great ideas. ""We've always had a feeling in the making of these films that good ideas come from all kinds of people in particular, the tried and true tested crew of technicians and artists that work on these films,"" says the producer. ""I think all the films reflect their times, and I think they change with the times, and I think with each change of actor, the character of Bond evolves. It's all of these things that contribute to the longevity of the series. Not being frightened of taking risks, and not being frightened to alter with the times and with new actors and directors.""
Much of that change is reverting back to the tone of books. Broccoli recalls casting Timothy Dalton, an actor the Bond team pursued for years before for finally nabbing him for The Living Daylights. The actor agreed to tackle Bond as long as the material was closer to Fleming's original works. ""The Living Daylights was part of a short story collection. We took some elements of that,"" says Broccoli. ""[He] wanted to make his Bond more realistic. I think he was ahead of his time in terms of reinventing the character.""
At the time, the tonal shift didn't sit well with Bond audiences, and Broccoli even admits that Dalton's next turn in the character reinvention may have been a misstep on the producers' part. ""When we did Licence to Kill, that was a lot more violent,"" says Broccoli. ""It was the first one that got a 15-rating in the UK, and I think we overstepped the mark there, in terms of going a bit too far into the realism. So that's something we're always struggling with. When to be realistic, and if so, how realistic and how much.""
Not only did the time eventually come for 007 to take on a grittier tone, but in the wake of 9/11, the zeitgeist eventually demanded it. Broccoli recalls shooting Die Another Day in 2001 (""Very much a fantastical interpretation of the Bond universe,"") and realizing the franchise was in the need of a change. ""We then took our breath afterward and said, 'What do we do now?' It just didn't seem right to be so fantastical in a world of danger and high stakes. Fortunately, as a result of the litigation that had been going on, we got the rights to Casino Royale, the holy grail of the Bond lexicon.""
Casino Royale falling back into the hands Bond company EON Productions opened the door to everything Broccoli believes the Bond franchise needed in the early 2000s: a new tone, a new style, and a new James Bond. A challenge to film, but one the team was ready to take. ""It's a very tough book,"" says Broccoli. ""The woman [Bond] loves betrays him and commits suicide. He goes through one of the most horrific tortures known to man."" Although portraying the novel's events in a PG-13 manner harkened back to the Licence to Kill days, Broccoli says she never had a doubt that her team couldn't pull off Royale. ""I think it's a great tribute to Martin Campbell and Daniel [Craig] to have pulled it off in the way that they did. It was important to the story. We couldn't shy away from it.""
Craig's first outing as Bond was a worldwide success, but even so, the franchise continues to change. Broccoli calls Skyfall as ""very compelling and very contemporary,"" acknowledging that it's a real actor's piece for Craig and newcomer Javier Bardem. And as the Bond franchise begins to grow expanding into every medium under the sun her focus will always be on making the movies perfect. ""We did the first video game, GoldenEye, and it attracted a whole new audience. The video games bring a younger people who have become acquainted with Bond through video games. But our focus is the movies. It takes enough of our energy."" Sorry James Bond Jr. fans no cash grabs here. For now, the meat of the 007 series will arrive in theaters, continuing to echo the world around it.

Title: Executive Summary, Mental Health and Behavioral Guidelines for Response to a Pandemic Flu Outbreak
Section/SPIG: Mental Health
Issue Date:
Prepared by a team from the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress, Uniformed Services University School of Medicine: Robert Ursano, MD; Derrick Hamaoka, MD; David Benedek, MD; Nancy Vineburgh, MA; Carol Fullerton, PhD; Harry Holloway, MD; and Dori Reissman of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It is only relatively recently that attention has been focused on the mental health impact of disasters. Previously, concerns related to immediate physical health and community infrastructure risks in the aftermath of disasters had overwhelmed considerations of the short- and long-term mental health consequences of disasters, or the extent to which mental health played a role in the impact of a disaster. In the arena of the health impact of natural disasters, the majority of data available relate to weather or geologic events. In contrast, there is almost no data on the mental health impacts of outbreaks of disease.

Joe arrived at our doors in February 2007 from far away, Washington, DC to be exact. Just so no one gets the wrong idea, though, he was merely earning a living in DC; Joes cultural identity, as well as his professional sports allegiances and, when he has a few drinks in him, his accent, are all Baltimore through and through. After working on the wholesale side of the business for nearly 4 years, Joe decided that he wanted to work wine retail with the best, so he emailed Cindy Westby at K&L and the rest is history. While Joe is well versed in a number of wine regions, he most enjoys the wines of Europe, though he is growing increasingly interested in the great wines of the Santa Cruz mountains. When he is not at K&L, Joe enjoys cooking, traveling, catching up on The Wire, doing occasional PR, booking and recording work for reggae band JohnStone (www.johnstonemusic.com), and writing for his wine, food and music blog, Old world Old School (www.oldworldoldschool.blogspot.com)

2009 Baricci Brunello di Montalcino
Review Date: 7-15-2014
Year in, year out, Baricci is a staff favorite and go to recommendation for most of us. In a vintage like 2009, where the wines are relatively forward and supple, Baricci manages to thread the needle between immediate deliciousness and classic structure for mid-term cellaring. Given this wine's wonderful aromatics, with beautiful dark cherries and scruffy herbs, as well as its effortless balance, I think the 09 Baricci will drink well near term and perhaps surprise those who strictly adhere to vintage charts with its ability to improve in bottle.
Price: $39.99
2013 TWR (Te Whare Ra) Riesling "D" Marlborough
Review Date: 7-10-2014
As an unabashed fan of Riesling, and a very occasional drinker of Sauvignon Blanc (no disrespect to all you SB fans out there, it's just typically not my thing) I would like to encourage you to try something new. Step outside your comfort zone, and live dangerously! Well, not too dangerously, since you probably already know and love TWR's Sauvignon Blanc, possibly their Pinot Noir as well. Their Riesling "D" has beautifully focused citric flavors, with a soft texture and lots of length. Try this dry Riesling; you may find that you have a new favorite.
Price: $19.99
2013 TWR (Te Whare Ra) Pinot Noir Marlborough
Review Date: 7-10-2014
Most any Pinot Noir fan will find something to like in this extremely well crafted bottling: juicy yet crisp fruits that fall somewhere in the middle of the red to dark spectrum, lovely floral inner mouth aromas, and balanced tannins that frame the wine and should give it enough structure to handle lamb chops equally well as a healthy slab of grilled Alaskan salmon (it is July, after all!)
Price: $26.99
2012 Bodegas Castano "Solanera Vinas Viejas" Yecla
Review Date: 7-10-2014
I'm getting the sense that, the more I taste of 2012 vintage wines from the Mediterranean portion of Spain, the more there is to like: all the usual intensity in flavors, but with the added bonus of extra freshness and structure. Solanera, for example, is usually a well made wine, with generous dark fruit and a flavor profile that suggests a good value red. In 2012 it is that plus more transparent minerality, a chalky and saline character mark this wine as it would a Bandol, or a Faugeres. While you won't confuse this wine for a Pradeaux, Tempier, or Barral you will pay less than one-third the price, with the added bonus of being able to enjoy it young! Recommended.
Price: $13.99
2011 Arterberry Maresh Dundee Hills Oregon Chardonnay
Review Date: 7-7-2014
Positively bursting with bright, citric and stonefruit flavors, and bolstered by very strong acidity, this is my kind of Chardonnay. You can tell this is made from high-quality fruit, by someone who respects great white wine and old-timey Chardonnay. In a cold vintage especially, this for my money is a perennial candidate for best Chard in the store.
Price: $24.99
2011 Teutonic "Laurel Vineyard - Bergspitze Schwarz" Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir
Review Date: 6-28-2014
This is a barrel selection that is based upon aromatic intensity and textural delicacy; not surprisingly, we love it! Not trying to be Burgundy, and for that matter, nor is this very Willamette. It is very, well, Teutonic - light, beautifully cherry scented, and surprisingly complex and satisfying while being so light on its feet. Absolutely worth a try.
Price: $39.99
2009 Valderiz Ribera del Duero
Review Date: 6-18-2014
Given this wine's fruit intensity, clear expression, persistence on the palate and impressive balance in youth, I would challenge fans of the fuller bodied, dark berry fruited wines of the world to find something as delicious for under $30. Yes, of course this stuff is subjective, but I've tasted enough similarly priced and styled wines this year to reach that conclusion - if you like bigger, spicy reds and enjoy some structural tannic grip, this wine is for you. Also, for those with a cellar, this wine should improve nicely. Begin checking in on it another 5 years from now to observe a classic Ribera del Duero rich darker fruit to savory, elegant, meaty, chalk tinged minerality transformation!
Price: $29.99
2012 Losada "Pajaro Rojo" Mencía Bierzo
Review Date: 6-18-2014
This is as tasty a young Mencía as I have had from this region in quite some time. It is soft and approachable, with supple dark cherry fruit, and an overall balance that suggests something between medium weight, juicer Pinot Noir and mid-weight, fruit forward, gently spicy Syrah. There is a minerality and sense of balance, however, all its own, and something tells me that for those willing to experiment a bit, they will find in this wine great personality, individuality and value. Highly recommended!
Price: $14.99
Pierre Paillard Grand Cru Brut Champagne
Review Date: 5-7-2014
Phenomenal. I love these Champagnes. Very pure flavors, with clear Pinot Noir red fruit, and a juicy quality that belies how serious this wine is, and how seriously the Paillards take their vineyards (all massale selections) and their production. One of our favorites, and needless to say, very highly recommended.

Ariston Aspasie "Carte Blanche" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 5-7-2014
Carte Blanche is always tasty, a Champagne with a soft bead, nice toast, crowd appeal and great value. This current batch, though, based on the very strong 2008 vintage, is impressive. Brighter than usual, with great purity and tasty fruit, easily the most impressive batch we have received. I'd be happy with this at $40, but for $28 it's one of our great values right now.
Price: $27.99
2011 Renacer "Punto Final" Reserva Malbec
Review Date: 4-22-2014
Here is a wine which, for whatever reason, had fallen off my radar. Then a customer emailed me to let me know that he was looking for this wine; it is one of his favorite Malbecs and why didn't we carry it anymore? So, to that customer, I thank you for reminding me of the wine and once again proving the old adage: "The customer is always right." As usual, this is a wine featuring rich fruit and slightly toasty, high-quality oak, resulting in a spicy, fruit-forward wine that is crowd pleasing and should make plenty of folks happy.
Price: $14.99
2013 Bodegas Colomé Torrontes Valle Calchaquí Salta
Review Date: 4-16-2014
I don't think it gets more textbook for Torrontes than the always delicious version from Colomé. The country's best, most wonderfully fragrant, balanced and nervy Torrontes tends to come from Salta, where Colomé has been an innovator not only in the quality of its Torrontes but also its Malbecs. This wine has juicy yellow fruited flavors, with exotic aromas that suggest jasmine. A unique white to sip as an aperitif or to accompany seafood and vegetable dishes.
Price: $11.99
2010 Cune Crianza Rioja
Review Date: 4-16-2014
This is a juicy, very quaffable Crianza from one of Rioja's most historic bodegas in Cune. With its red fruit flavors, supple tannins and balanced acidity, this is as comfortable at the table with roasted chicken, grilled salmon, lentils or pasta dishes as it is on its own or accompanied by cheese, tortilla española, grilled mushrooms and other tapas. Just a lovely, easy to like Tempranillo based red.
Price: $10.99
2009 Valserrano Crianza Rioja
Review Date: 4-15-2014
Delicious, bright, high toned berry fruited crianza Rioja, here! Thanks to Bodegas de la Marquesa's faithfulness to the classic Crianza style, their extensive vineyard holdings, and a healthy chunk of 10% Mazuelo (Carignane) in this blend, this is a 2009 that begs another sip, and another glass. However, it should age nicely in the short to mid-term as well. Good stuff.
Price: $14.99
1988 Littlemill 25 Year Old K&L Exclusive "Exclusive Malts" Single Barrel Cask Strength Lowland Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 4-9-2014
Littlemill is not the shouting type. No one who knows their single malt is going to talk about any huge Sherry sweetness or impressive, antique Oloroso barrel notes. Nor will they mention huge peat smoke. A finish that lasts forever and ever and just won't quit? Nope. This is simply effortless, rock solid, fully mature, perfectly balanced, higher end whiskey for drinking. Old school like an antique fountain pen, as confident as Oscar Peterson's command on a Steinway, as reliable and skillfully crafted as a Pendleton flannel shirt. Hey Dave OG, Driscoll, pass me that Littlemill, would'ya?
Price: $139.99

About one and a half years ago, a National Honor Society member at our school heard about the life of a man named Deng Juac, who was one of South Sudan's Lost Boys. His journey led him to Fairfax, VA, a U.S. high school diploma, and a dream to return to his hometown with the means to build a structure that could house the several hundred students who travel miles each day to crowd around very few charitable and inspiring teachers - teachers who have limited resources in a school where a light rain or an especially hot sun means classes could be canceled.
That student became quite inspired, and as Deng created a non-profit to fund Mayom Primary School, our student decided to raise money by designing and selling bracelets, and organizing fundraisers.

This video from PBS's OffBook considers the complexity of online use, and in particular, seeking the answer to the question, "Who is responsible for regulating online behavior, and how would anyone even start?"The extent to which parents and schools regulate something as pervasive as online presence, which bridges home and school life, is a debate dually concerned with personal privacy and safety. This video just touches the surface of what the free speech vs. bullying debate means for student behavior. Determining punishments for cyberbullying or offensive trolling has been a struggle for all schools, especially since one could argue that if the bullying is done online, it falls in the realm of student interactions that external to school policy. How does a school keep its kids safe? To what extent is free speech free? Our students are growing up as guinea pigs in the experiment that is increasing dependency and exposure through social networking, living the uncertainty to which we try to apply outdated perspectives, and witnessing how courts themselves struggle with these questions. This is a great point of application to learning, because we don't have the answers. Should Google have removed The Innocence of Muslims from YouTube? Does a school have the right to expel a student for making fun of a classmate online? What is the difference between free speech and speech without criticism? Should anonymity be removed from online use? These are interesting questions that students should also be exploring.
Struggle Means Learning
This interesting article explores the perception of struggle in learning across cultures. How do we use struggle in our classrooms? Does it cripple? Does it motivate? "The teacher was trying to teach the class how to draw three-dimensional cubes on paper," Stigler explains, "and one kid was just totally having trouble with it. His cube looked all cockeyed, so the teacher said to him, 'Why don't you go put yours on the board?' So right there I thought, 'That's interesting! He took the one who can't do it and told him to go and put it on the board.'"

Before beginning my commentary, let me introduce to you the latest entrants into our banking morgue:
2 new entrants: (courtesy of the street)
Western Springs National Bank and Trust
Nevada Commerce Bank
Gold closed yesterday at comex closing time at $1473.40 up a full $14.90. Silver however was the star again finally breaking the 40 dollar barrier rising to $40.60 by closing time and then continuing its assault in the access market rising to $40.93. Rumours were abound that there were huge purchases of May in the money calls and this forced the seller of these calls to delta hedge because they were deeply in the glue. The writers of those calls were rumoured to be JPMorgan. Gold closed at record levels and silver is now at a 31 yr high.
First the rumour mill on those massive May calls (courtesy of zero hedge):
Let us see how trading fared on Friday. First the gold comex:
The total gold comex OI rose by 3232 contracts to 513,786 from Thursday's level of 510,574. With gold's advance on Thursday, the rise in OI is to be expected. The front delivery month of April surprisingly saw its OI rise from 2390 to 2460 for a gain of 70 contracts despite 37 deliveries on Thursday. We thus had no cash settlements today in gold. The next front month of June saw its OI rise from 358,923 to 362,266. This may be the ultimate battleground as the longs take on JPMorgan and Blythe Masters. The estimated volume yesterday was a mediocre 119,396 contracts for such a bold advance by gold. The confirmed volume on Thursday was also light at 115,861. As I mentioned to you on Thursday, the volume only rises on a grand scale on days of a raid.
Let us proceed to silver. First of all, I would like to report that we have a slight contango for half of the months and then we have a backwardation for the other half of the months. The total open interest for the silver comex rose again Friday advancing by 426 contracts to 144,647 from 144,221. With silver's huge advance we must have lost a few more bankers as post mortems will commence shortly on them. The front options expiry month of April surprisingly saw its OI rise by one contract from 12 to 13 despite 14 deliveries being sent down. Obviously someone was in great need of silver. We again lost no ounces to cash settlements today in silver. The next delivery month of May saw its OI contract a bit from 71,707 to 69,555. This is to be expected as we get closer to first day notice. The estimated volume at the silver comex was respectable at 61,256. The confirmed volume on Thursday was very good at 75,745.

Total accumulative withdrawal of gold from the Dealers inventory this month
Total accumulative withdrawal of gold from the Customer inventory this month
Let us start with gold. On Friday we saw no activity again and this is very strange in a delivery month. We witnessed no gold deposits nor any gold withdrawals from the dealer.
We only had a tiny 129 oz withdrawal from a customer. There was a tiny 300 oz adjustment of gold whereby this gold left the customer to enter the dealer.
It could be a lease (probably) or the customer wished to change status and sell his inventory. In order to sell inventory it thus must become registered or "dealer" inventory.
The comex folk notified us that 72 gold contracts were served on our longs today. For a delivery month this is very tiny and this suggests that the gold metal is also scarce. The cost to store, and insurance, is high so there is no reason to keep the metal until the end of the month unless you do not have it. The total number of notices sent down so far this month total 2496 or 249,600 oz of gold. To obtain what is left to be served, I take the OI of 2460 and subtract from it the deliveries (72) leaving me with 2388 notices to be serviced or 238,800 oz of gold.
Thus the total number of gold oz standing in this delivery month is as follows:
249,600 oz (served) + 238,800 oz (to be served) = 488,400 oz
Yesterday we had: 477,300 oz for we gained back 11,100 oz.
We lost zero oz to cash settlements. The amount standing is still quite large and it is possible that no amount of cash will satisfy the remaining resolute longs. We will have to wait and see. (I have included the accumulated totals for withdrawals on gold for the dealer and the customer vs deliveries. Please note accumulative zero ounces of gold withdrawals have left the dealer so far this month)
And now for silver: In a nutshell, we had no activity. We did have a small adjustment of 10,490 oz of silver leaving the customer and enter the dealer inventory. This is probably a lease or it could be a customer changing his status to registered in order to sell his metal.
The total number of notices sent down today totaled 2, for a total of 10,000 oz.
The total number of notices sent down so far this month total 95 for 475,000 oz. To obtain what is left, to be serviced, I take the OI of April (13) and subtract out today's deliveries (2) which leaves me with 11 notices to be served or 55,000 oz.
Thus the total number of silver oz standing in this non delivery month is as follows:
475,000 (served) + 55,000 oz (to be served) = 530,000
First, let's see what happened to our "non-physical" inventories.

Let us now head over to the COT report released on Friday night. First the gold COT:
Gold COT Report - Futures
Large Speculators
Change from Prior Reporting Period
Small Speculators
Open Interest
non reportable positions
Change from the previous reporting period
COT Gold Report - Positions as of
Tuesday, April 05, 2011
Here, those large speculators that have been long, piled on to their good fortune by adding a huge 17,449 contracts to their already burgeoning position. They seem to be gloating this weekend.
Those large specs that have been short, got it wrong by adding a large 5864 contracts to their short positions. They are seeing a shrink!
And now for our commercials;
Those commercials that are close to the physical scene and generally long gold decided to lighten up on their longs to the tune of 1102 contracts.
Those commercials like JPMorgan who have been short from the beginning of time,
decided that it was best to continue to supply the unbacked paper. This week: they added a humongous 16,794 short positions. I guess these bankers just do not give up.
The small speculators finally got into the game. Those small specs that have been long added a large 7197 contracts to their longs. Those small specs that have been short added a tiny 886 positions to their shorts.
Thus in a nutshell: the small specs and the large specs piled into gold in a big way and were obliged willingly by JPMorgan and friends with unbacked paper.
Let us now head over to the silver COT and note any differences. Remember that silver has been on a tear these past several weeks.

COT Silver Report - Positions as of
Tuesday, April 05, 2011
Those large speculators that have been long only added a smallish 1126 contracts to their long positions.
Those large speculators that have been short silver added more shorts to the tune of 1480 contracts .
And now for our commercials:
Those commercials that are close to the physical scene added 826 contracts to their long position.
And now for our famous bankers JPMorgan and HSBC. These guys added again to their short position to the tune of 1945 contracts. JPMorgan and friends are still providing the paper despite the hearing on Tuesday.
The small specs that have been long cashed out 58 contracts to profits.
Those small specs that have been short got it wrong and added 1531 contracts to their shorts.
The banking participation report was released after the market closed today for the March month. Special thanks to Bix Weir for providing us with the report.
In a nutshell: JPMorgan and friends have their net short position remain at the comex at 125 million oz of silver.
Here is Bix Weir's commentary on the Banking Participation Report and its effect on silver:
They had a congressional hearing on Friday on the sub par performance of the Mint with respect to the minting of gold and silver coins. You will find this MINEWEB article very interesting:

Let us head over into Japan. This is a great commentary and an up to date
assessment on the perils of the nuclear disaster in that country.

Short of closing plants, there is a fairly reliable solution to the problem of spent fuel rods. It is called "dry cask storage." Germany adopted it twenty-five years ago. Instead of storing huge amounts of spent fuel in pools with only roofs over them, small amounts of spent fuel rods are surrounded with inert gas inside large steel casks. These casks are quite stable and secure. At Vermont Yankee one of them was mistakenly dropped a yard or more when a crane malfunctioned—and the cask was fine.
But there is a problem with dry cask storage: it costs money. The track record of the atomic energy industry in the United States—less so in Japan—is to spend as little money as possible and extend the life of old plants for as long as possible, no matter the risks.
Just as the BP oil spill one year ago heaped scrutiny on the United State's Minerals Management Service, harshly criticized for lax drilling oversight and cozy ties with the oil industry, the nuclear crisis in Japan is shining a light on that nation's safety practices.
Russian nuclear accident specialist Iouli Andreev, who as director of the Soviet Spetsatom clean-up agency helped in the efforts 25 years ago to clean up Chernobyl ... said the sequence of events at Japan's Fukushima I suggested that the plant's owner, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), may have put profit before safety. The fire that broke out Tuesday in reactor No. 4's fuel storage pond may have been caused by a desire to conserve space and money, he suggested.
"The Japanese were very greedy and they used every square inch of the space. But when you have a dense placing of spent fuel in the basin you have a high possibility of fire if the water is removed from the basin," Andreev told Reuters.
TEPCO has come under fire in the past for falsifying safety records at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. In 2002, according to The Wall Street Journal, TEPCO admitted to the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency that it had falsified the results of safety tests on the No. 1 reactor.
This was only one in a string of scandals and coverups to mar the Asia's biggest utility company. In 2007, the company initially said there was no release of radiation after an earthquake damaged its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant, but later admitted that radioactive water spilled into the Sea of Japan.
And less than a year ago, on June 17, a reactor at Fukushima I lost electricity and saw a dangerous drop in cooling water, Bloomberg reported. TEPCO's president failed to adequately investigate to prevent the current crisis, said Iwaki City council member Kazuyoshi Sato ...
Back in the late 80's, when I was working for an environmental firm in New Jersey, one of the temps who came through said he'd just come from working at a nuclear plant. He said that his design, as delivered, had sufficient margin and backups to take care of whatever could possibly happen.
The owners thanked him for his work, then sent it to other engineers who cheapened down the whole design. Thinner walls in the pipes, fewer fasteners in the connections, less mass in the building walls, the whole bit. Saving money on the build to pay for higher profits, higher interest to the backers, and generally harvesting the value that should have been spread over the plant's lifetime. He just shook his head.
Andreev, the Russian scientist, has also accused the IAEA of being too close with corporations. "This is only a fake organization because every organization which depends on the nuclear industry – and the IAEA depends on the nuclear industry – cannot perform properly."
Stiglitz describes well the intertwining of state and private power [quoting Stiglitz]:Stiglitz points out that a system gamed to benefit only that 1 percent is destined to sink us all, eventually, because it means America is squandering its productivity, efficiency, and much-needed infrastructure dollars. We would go a step further and say that this system, of, by, and for the 1 percent, is what paved the way for some of the greatest disasters of the new century. The BP-Transocean Oil Spill and the Wall Street collapse might never have happened without the promotion by shadow lobbyists of loose regulation and/or weak enforcement that benefited themselves and their elite brethen. Japan might not be facing a nuclear crisis, were it not for the fact that the very old reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant got an extension to keep operating despite safety concerns. That decision was a byproduct, critics say, of Japan's own gamed system known as amakudari, or "descent from heaven", a longstanding, widespread practice in which Japanese senior bureaucrats retire to high-profile positions in the private and public sectors.The personal and the political are today in perfect alignment. Virtually all U.S. senators, and most...[House] representatives...are members of the top 1 percent....are kept in office by money from the top 1 percent, and know that if they serve the top 1 percent well they will be rewarded by the top 1 percent when they leave office. By and large, the key executive-branch policymakers on trade and economic policy also come from the top 1 percent. When pharmaceutical companies receive a trillion-dollar gift--through legislation prohibiting the government...from bargaining over price--it should not come as cause for wonder....Given the power of the top 1 percent, this is the way you would expect the system to work.
A string of smaller, but still terrible disasters can be traced to weak regulation and/or spotty enforcement: the half-billion eggs that had to be recalled last year; a 2009 plane crash that killed 50 people, which Frontline traced back to the "cozy" relationship between the FAA and carriers, allowing some of them to operate flights despite safety violations; and several mine disasters that have killed dozens in recent years. A Washington Postanalysis found that more than 200 former congressional staffers, regulators and retired lawmakers work for the mining industry as lobbyists, senior executives, or consultants. Those last two roles make it possible for top power brokers to shadow lobby - they go unregistered simply by evading formal registration and refusing the accept the title of lobbyist, even if lobbying is essentially what they are doing.
A signature feature of the shadow lobbyist era is not just a manipulation of public policy, but also an embrace of "failing upward". No matter the track record, the elite 1 percent seek more of the same. Transocean executives thought they deserved rich bonuses, as did their unabashed, deeply entitled peers on Wall Street, despite their staggering failures.
The CEO of mine operator Massey, who retired a few months back, is due to get a reported 12 million dollars, a year after Massey's Upper Big Branch mine exploded, killing dozens. And then there's egg producer Jack DeCoster, who's been called "Teflon Chicken Don." For years DeCoster has fought various workplace safety and environmental violations. Yet here's what one lawyer who sued DeCoster's company said about him, to Tribune reporter Andrew Zajac: "He gets fined and things happen to him, but he comes back. He always bounces back."
The insulation from failure is galling, to be sure, but it's much more than that. It is both an outrageand a clear and present danger. If executives and stealth power brokers face no repercussions for making risky bets or pushing the limits on safety to save a buck or working the system to their advantage no matter the consequences, what incentive do they have to act more responsibly in the future?
The entire financial sector was rife with agency problems and externalities. Ratings agencies had incentives to give good ratings to the high-risk securities produced by the investment banks that were paying them. Mortgage originators bore no consequences for their irresponsibility, and even those who engaged in predatory lending or created and marketed securities that were designed to lose did so in ways that insulated them from civil and criminal prosecution.
This brings us to the next question: are there other "black swan" events waiting to happen? Unfortunately, some of the really big risks that we face today are most likely not even rare events. The good news is that such risks can be controlled at little or no cost. The bad news is that doing so faces strong political opposition - for there are people whoprofit from the status quo.
We have seen two of the big risks in recent years, but have done little to bring them under control. By some accounts, how the last crisis was managed may have increased the risk of a future financial meltdown.
Too-big-to fail banks, and the markets in which they participate, now know that they can expect to be bailed out if they get into trouble. As a result of this "moral hazard", these banks can borrow on favourable terms, giving them a competitive advantage based not on superior performance but on political strength. While some of the excesses in risk-taking have been curbed, predatory lending and unregulated trading in obscure over-the-counter derivatives continue. Incentive structures that encourage excess risk-taking remain virtually unchanged.
So, too, while Germany has shut down its older nuclear reactors, in the US and elsewhere, even plants that have the same flawed design as Fukushima continue to operate. The nuclear industry's very existence is dependent on hidden public subsidies - costs borne by society in the event of nuclear disaster, as well as the costs of the still-unmanaged disposal of nuclear waste. So much for unfettered capitalism!
In the end, those gambling in Las Vegas lose more than they gain. As a society, we are gambling – with our big banks, with our nuclear power facilities, with our planet. As in Las Vegas, the lucky few - the bankers that put our economy at risk and theowners of energy companies that put our planet at risk - may walk off with a mint. But on average and almost certainly, we as a society, like all gamblers, will lose.
That, unfortunately, is a lesson of Japan's disaster that we continue to ignore at our peril.
Make no mistake. Nuclear power can be safe... if designed by honest and prudent people. Make no mistake. The economies of nations and planets can function well, and life can continuously improve... if only real, physical goods (including gold and silver) are exchanged in transactions.
Make no mistake. Life can be good. Life can be efficient. Life can be benevolent. Life can continuously improve as years go by, and as humans learn more about the nature of reality. The reason everything is getting worse can all be traced back to the predators-that-be, the predator-class, and their endless dishonesty.
Honesty => life, health, happiness, success.
Dishonesty => death, disease, misery, failure.
The dishonest [...] the predators must go.
Instead, it is a question of the powers-that-be waging war on the freedom and wealth of the American people. ... and the people of the entire world.
Hidden state debts may push Portugal bailout to €90bnOfficials in Brussels and Germany expected to demand big reforms in return for rescue package bigger than Ireland's
Portugal's bailout requirement is 20% higher than previously thought, with hidden debt in state companies and private-public partnerships possibly to blame, according to sources in Lisbon.Officials plan to ask for a €90bn (£79bn) bailout, making it an even larger aid package than the €85bn granted to Ireland, according to respected business daily Diario Económico. Previous reports had suggested Portugal required around €75bn.The extra cash is needed, it is said, to cover government debt, state companies that are having trouble paying employees and the possible recapitalisation of Portuguese banks after future stress tests.The request would signal deeper debt problems buried inside the Portuguese administration, with economist Nuno Garoupa pointing to both troubled public companies and a lack of reporting on the state of public-private partnerships covering hospitals and roads which will not be revealed until 2013.Many economists believe that these hidden elements drive the country's real debt up towards 120% of GDP, rather than the 85% figure given by the government. "This is an open secret," said economist João César das Neves of Lisbon's Catholic University. "Europe knows it already."It is also unclear how a rudderless country with a caretaker government led by the outgoing Socialist prime minister José Socrates would set about negotiating a bailout. A formal request for aid was to be delivered to Brussels tonight, cabinet minister Pedro Silva Pereira told reporters.With fresh elections due on 5 June, the Socialists and the centre-right opposition Social Democrats are both anxious to pass responsibility for the bailout on to their opponents.Socrates is said to favour taking up to a third of the total money in the coming weeks to tide the country over until a new government is installed. That government, which opinion polls show would probably be led by the Social Democrats, could then negotiate the rest.But the Social Democrats are said to be pressing for the caretaker government to take the full bailout, so that blame for the strict conditions that will accompany it can fall on Socrates' party.Either way, an opinion poll run this week by the Diario de Noticias newspaper showed that a minority government is the most likely outcome – meaning that the two parties will have to come to some agreement.The Portuguese president Aníbal Cavaco Silva would play a crucial role in bringing the two biggest parties together.Officials in Brussels and Germany's chancellor, Angela Merkel, are also expected to intervene to demand major reforms of the Portuguese economy, which has grown by an average of just 0.7% a year over the past decade.The senior German lawmaker Volker Wissing, chairman of his parliament's finance committee, noted that Portuguese MPs had rejected Socrates' latest austerity measures. "Now they'll be determined from outside," he said.The parties are already blaming one another for the spiralling cost of Portuguese debt, which forced Socrates to turn to the European Unionfor a bailout on Wednesday night.The Social Democrats had refused to back a Socrates austerity package which was presented to parliament on 23 March, bringing his government down.Questions also remained over whether either party was capable of pushing through structural reforms that would allow the country to grow.Prof Garoupa, who teaches at Illinois University, said that Portugal was in a worse state than Ireland and Spain because it had spent its EU funds on consumption rather than investment and so had little potential for growth."We face another decade without growth," he said. Other economists said growth could come much earlier if the bailout is accompanied by meaningful spending cuts and reforms.Portugal's economy is already expected to fall back into recession this year, shrinking by around 1%.The country's hard left is already getting ready to battle further cuts in a country that has passed three austerity packages since the debt crisis first began. "We will present a plan in response to the debt situation," said Francisco Louçã of the Left Block.Business leaders and Portuguese bankers welcomed the bailout, agreeing that it had become inevitable.• This article was amended on 8 April 2011. The original gave a Left Block politician's name as Francisco Louá. This has been corrected.end.
I will leave you with this great commentary from Jim Sinclair himself atwww.jsmineset.com. It is self explanatory.
Filed under: General EditorialDear CIGAs,The system has failed. It failed the day that Lehman Brothers was flushed.There is a financial condition of an ocean of liquidity making the broken remains of a failed financial system in the Western world opaque.There is no future failure coming. What is coming is a mass realization that exposes the fact there is no functioning system under all this liquidity. It is a sharp contraction in confidence that lies down the road. Realize this and know that there is one more step you need to make.Having the largest pile of gold and silver without considering one more step might make you a modern Midas.There is more to insurance than simply financial. Shortages of goods and services will occur because of currency induced cost push inflation resulting in dislocations of the organization and compensation in the distribution functions. That means there could be ample food in the system but little available on the shelf of your local market.Because of the ill-understood world shaping changes in the Middle East, the impact of "Peak Oil" on price has been sharply accelerated. Public utilities considered now as a human right will prove themselves to be privileges. Expectation of power on a constant basis will become a hollow expectation.If you do not have the experience of living in India and Africa in the 80s, you have no idea of how to live in a Western World experiencing long term currency induced cost push inflation. Self reliance will become as important as your holdings in gold. To have a huge pile of gold but remain totally dependent on the infrastructure of the Western World system is a serious mistake. You would have substantial capital but lack goods and services to buy. You will be able to afford much, but much will be either in short supply or illegal.You know more about what is occurring than 99% of investors.You are the 1% that knows the SYSTEM HAS FAILED.
You are the 1% that knows the system failed the minute Lehman Brothers was flushed.
You are the 1% not looking for some failure in the future but know there is no system below the flood of liquidity.
You are the 1% that has been exposed to the concept of currency induced cost push.
You are the 1% that can understand the future.Please be that 1% that is not seduced by your profits and fails to take the last step to the best degree they can.

We drive the Queen's Land Rovers
Royals and Land Rovers go hand-in-hand. When you see images of the royal family on their Balmoral or Sandringham estates, chances are they're driving, or being driven in, a Land Rover or Range Rover product.
The Queen herself is famously a Land Rover driver and has been pictured in her sturdy machines for decades. Her own personal transport, the iconic green Land Rover, stayed with her long after other, more luxurious, models had been replaced.
Given the longstanding links between the royals and their Land Rovers, MSN Cars jumped at the chance to get behind the wheel of some famous models connected to the Queen in the run up to her diamond jubilee.
We drove the historic cars around the picturesque grounds of Windsor Park, an opportunity rarely afforded to anyone outside royalty or Land Rover top brass.
Click the gallery at the top of the page to see the cars in all their glory and read on to find out what we made of the Queen's classic Land Rover collection...

Land Rover
The royals and their Land Rovers
The royal relationship with Land Rover goes back further than you think, right back to 1948 when King George VI viewed the original Land Rover. He later even ordered one, in 1951 - alas, he died before the special Land Rover was finished.
The Queen did still take delivery of her father's own Land Rover, though - and has used the Solihull firm's vehicles ever since.
The Royal relationship with Land Rover goes back further than you think
This is why Land Rover holds a royal warrant, as supplier to the royal household. Enabling it to use the Royal coat of arms and the words 'By Appointment to...', Land Rover actually holds all four Royal warrants - to the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles and the late Queen Mother.
The relationship has been cemented by some iconic models over the years, including that famous Land Rover, said to be one of the Queen's very favourite vehicles and one that she used so much it was even immortalised in film.
The relationship continues to this day - and Land Rover insiders hint there's plenty more to come in this special diamond jubilee year...

Land Rover
The history of the Queen's 1954 Series I Land Rover
This 1954 Royal ceremonial vehicle was the first of the Queen's bespoke Land Rovers. The rear section was specially converted so the Queen and Prince Philip could stand in it and wave to crowds: Land Rover even incorporated discreet leg rests for its rear passengers.
It was painted in the official royal claret and finished with delicate hand-painted red pinstripes. There are no registration plates though: as it is a state vehicle used by the monarch, number plates were unnecessary.
This car was used by the Queen and Prince Philip on their six-month Commonwealth tour of 1953-54. The Queen - and her new Land Rover - covered 50,000 miles visiting New Zealand and Australia, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Aden (now Yemen) and Africa.
This is possibly the sweetest Series I Land Rover in the world
The 1954 Series I Land Rover 86-inch wheelbase was used by the Queen on other official duties and tours for 20 years.
What is the the Queen's 1954 Series I Land Rover like to drive?
This is possibly the sweetest Series I Land Rover in the world. The four-cylinder engine is sewing machine smooth and the lightweight all-aluminium body means it is an unexpectedly swift performer too.
The direct controls and crisp mechanical feel combine with the short wheelbase to give a sprightly, agile feel. It is the Caterham of off-roaders. Such exploits are not to be recommended if the Queen is in the rear, of course...
A real period piece to look at, it is surprisingly entertaining to drive and is a fascinating insight into what automotive sights, sounds and sensations the Queen experienced while touring the Commonwealth in the 1950s.

Land Rover
The history of the Queen's 1974 mk1 Range Rover
Land Rover decided to replace the Queen's Series I Land Rover with its then-new Range Rover in the early 1970s. Close communications between Land Rover and the royals for more than two years ensured it would be built to The Queen's exact specification.
It was finished with a super-luxury rear. Fully trimmed in leather, the special setup contains foldaway seats and special half-seats which the royals could rest on while standing. Brilliantly, these are set at different heights - the Queen's is lower than Prince Philips...
This Range Rover has been optimised to travel at low speed
Detail engineering even went as far as rerouting the exhaust away from the rear door, so the royals didn't have to breathe in exhaust fumes. Once again, it was finished in the iconic royal claret, with red pinstriping.
What is the Queen's 1974 mk1 Range Rover like to drive?
This Range Rover has been optimised to travel at low speed. The V8 is silky smooth, the transmission is creamy and it will happily take third gear at 10mph. With a pliant ride and progressive controls, few original Range Rovers are as relaxing to drive.
The driver has much less space than normal as the bulkhead was moved forward to maximise space for the Queen. This means the seatback is bolt upright, which is why the chauffeurs always look so stiff and correct while driving it...
What's also striking is how blustery it can be standing up exposed to the elements in a car. This is why the supplementary speedo is fitted, with a strict 20mph speed range. Even at half this speed, the wind blast is considerable. The Queen is clearly made of tough stuff.

The history of the Queen's 1983 Land Rover V8
The Queen's Land Rover 110 is perhaps Her Majesty's most famous Land Rover, after being immortalised in the film The Queen. This really was her own personal car on her Sandringham and Balmoral estates from when it was delivered in 1983 right up to 2001 (when it was replaced with another Land Rover Defender!).
One of the first 110s built, it is a V8 model with a manual gearbox - and the Queen also selected some other special features, including a distinctive 'carphone' with a hotline to the Home Office. The green leather seats were also bespoke.
This very Land Rover was fully recreated for the film The Queen
The Queen used this Land Rover to transport her corgis around her estates, particularly Balmoral, and it was often pictured over the years in action with Her Majesty.
This very Land Rover was fully recreated for the film The Queen, even down to the bespoke grabhandles by the doors. However, detail spotters will note the registration is slightly different, and the colour isn't quite a perfect match...
What is the Queen's 1983 Land Rover V8 like to drive?
This Land Rover is brilliant. It snarls, rorts and growls like the V8 of your dreams - the Queen clearly likes her V8s raw and muscular (after all, she did train as a mechanic while serving in the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service during the second world war).
It's an absolute blast to drive, all growling V8 power and perfectly honed mechanical directness. It exudes character and it's easy to see why the Queen kept it for so long. Particularly as, with its lustrous paint and perfect panel gaps, there's perhaps not a better-built Land Rover 110 in existence.
Full of character, it is the car you'd hope the Queen would fall in love with. Simple, enthusiastic, fun and able, there are no frills with this Land Rover but none are needed. The in-built class it boasts sees to that.

The history of the Queen mother's 1995 Range Rover LSE
The royal relationship with the original Range Rover continued for many years - even in 1995, when the new Range Rover was on sale, royals were still taking delivery of the original model
The late Queen mother enjoyed a very special 1995 Range Rover LSE, the long wheelbase version launched in 1992 with an eight-inch stretch over standard. This model introduced world-firsts for 4x4s, including electronically controlled air suspension and electronic traction control.
It was also fitted with leather seats, power steering, ABS brakes and driver's airbag, as well as the dashboard from the new P38a Range Rover to give it a more contemporary feel. Even the engine was stretched, from 4.0 litres to 4.2 litres.
It has a sedate, softly set up gait
The Queen Mother's personal LSE sported the registration NLT 9. Finished in Ardennes Green, it is fitted with bespoke side running boards to help its famous owner step out gracefully - something the new height-adjustable air suspension also facilitated.
What is the Queen Mother's 1995 Range Rover LSE like to drive?
Oddly, this Range Rover feels the most elderly of all the Royal Land Rovers. It has a sedate, softly set up gait that lacks the precision of, say, the Queen's own Land Rover. The V8 doesn't feel as eager and the steering isn't as crisp.
It's an exceedingly regal car to sit in though. Despite the narrow (by modern standards) cabin, there's a huge amount of legroom and the incredibly deep, large and low-shouldered side windows give a supreme view out. Few classic cars make its occupants feel as classy as the Queen Mother's Range Rover.
Indeed, sitting in the rear is best place to be. With bespoke built-in armrests for the plush leather seats, it was certainly the most luxurious Range Rover of its type back in 1995. Even the built-in dog-guard is immaculately finished...

Women Prefer Taller Men, Most Men Don't Mind A Taller Date
February 11, 2014 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
DENTON, Texas (UPI) — Nearly half of women want to date only men taller than they are, while a lesser percentage of men want to date only shorter women, researchers say.
The main reasons women gave for wanting to date taller men were they wanted to feel protected and that they felt more feminine with a taller date.
"As the girl, I like to feel delicate and secure at the same time," said a 5-foot-3 woman who participated in the stud. "Something just feels weird in thinking about looking 'down' into my man's eyes. There is also something to be said about being able to wear shoes with high heels and still being shorter. I also want to be able to hug him with my arms reaching up and around his neck."
Some men said they preferred shorter women, but not so short that it would cause problems with physical intimacy.
"I like it when the body of your partner fits yours," a 5-foot-11 man told the researchers. "It also makes it easier to kiss, hold hands and do other activities with your partner."
Lead author George Yancey of the University of North Texas and study co-author Michael Emerson, co-director of Rice University's Kinder Institute for Urban Research, conducted their study in two parts.
For the first part, the researchers used data from the Yahoo! personal dating advertisements — 455 men with an average height of 5 feet, 8 inches, and average age of 36; and 470 females with an average height of 5 feet, 4 inches, and average age of 35 — from throughout the United States.
The study, scheduled to be published in the Journal of Family Issues, found 13.5 percent of the men wanted to date only women shorter than they were, while 49 percent wanted to date only men who are taller.
For the second part of the study, 54 men with an average height of 5 feet, 9 inches, and 131 women with an average height of 5 feet, 4 inches, were recruited from a U.S. university.
The participants answered open-ended questions in an online survey. The study found 37 percent of men wanted to date only women shorter than they were, while 55 percent of female respondents wanted to date only men taller than they were.
Yancey said being tall is a personal asset for men and a personal liability for women. He said the study's finding that height matters more to women supports the social system of patriarchy, in which males are the primary authority figures.
"The masculine ability to offer physical protection is clearly connected to the gender stereotype of men as protectors," Yancey said. "And in a society that encourages men to be dominant and women to be submissive, having the image of tall men hovering over short women reinforces this value."

TEAMS: New England Patriots, Oakland Raiders
One of the rules that is being examined at the annual NFL owners meetings this week is the infamous tuck rule. The rule is one of the most beloved by New England Patriots fans and equally despised by Oakland Raiders fans. If not for the tuck rule, who knows where Tom Brady and Bill Belichick would be today. In case you're too young to remember, the tuck rule overturned a Brady fumble in the 2001 playoffs that would have allowed the Raiders to ice the game and advance to the AFC Championship Game. Instead, New England kept the ball and went on to win. Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who said he never knew what the rule was prior to that game, has a predictable opinion on the matter. He also has a unique piece of memorabilia pertaining to the tuck rule, courtesy of former Raiders coach Jon Gruden. "I love the tuck rule and forever will. I know (late Raiders owner) Al Davis, may he rest in peace, is probably smiling," Kraft said Monday according to ESPNBoston.com. "But whatever the rule i...

Gourmet New Releases @ Primitive
December 30th, 2010 by Aaron Hope | 1 comment
The start of 2011 means every sneaker brand you've heard of and even some you haven't will be releasing their spring '11 lineup. Gourmet is probably somewhere in between on average, with savvy sneakerheads admiring their subtle mashups while others might only remember them for the early 'Ape Jordan' silhouettes. Here are three new Gourmet models for Q1 that drop all the AJ styling and stick to lifestyle designs with some Nike Air Max running thrown in for good measure. The Gourmet Quadici returns with its Duck Boot-meets-Air Max 97 look, a style that's modified with a moc-toe and chukka-style lacing for the new 28 midtop. Last but not least is an UNDFTD-designed Cinque that takes its mudguard from the Nike Air Max 1 and loosely borrows the OG Varsity Royal's colorway. Check out all three pairs in more photos after the jump and look for these at select boutiques like Primitive.
