It's fantasy football time -- and you need to choose a tight end.
Tom Brady goes deep with Gisele, Reggie Bush runs all over Kim K. and Tony Romo's wide receiver is Jess Simpson.
The question is ...
None of the above and by the way who cares about Kim K?
that pig is too fat to be on this list. do like the cottage cheese girls. no way that 40 pound ass ain't full of cheese. put the pig in the barn and bring out a filly.
I am so offended and disgusted. Gisele is in a class all by herself! A supermodel, role model, a stand-up girl, making it on her own and quite well!! Kim Ho-dashian, a pimple on the ass of elephant!! This bitch is getting fatter by the day, she is the worst kind of trash there is, the kind at the bottom of the dumpster that the maggots feast on!! It can't get any nastier, a walking billboard for STD's, trash w/money, skank strolling, porn star bound, media whoring, keep your kids away from, dumber than Jessica Simpson, visual birthcontrol, I'll do anything & anybody, as long as my fat ass is photographed, implants gone bad, infection guaranteed nasty bitch!!!!!! Jessica Simpson is just dumb! Reggie Bush is just another example of a black man with a little bit going on and has the nastiest, skankiest, fat-ass white woman he could find!! Jessica is the poster child for "sitting on daddy's lap"....oops did I say that?
I can't believe TMZ put Gisele and these two low lifes in the same sentence!! Gisele represents beauty, class, independence, strength, power and respect!!!!
ok. What the heck is a pigskin?
Gisele Bundchen was with a guy who had another woman pregnant. Anyone who thinks that represents strength, independance, power, and respect, needs to buy a dictionary.
I think the only career move that Jessica Simpson could do would be show her boobs on the pages of playboy and she might move her career in high career if not she needs to get rid of her daddy if she dumps that dead weight her career might move to because he has ruined both thoes girs careers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go to youtube and pull up Jessica Simpson most recently added videos and there is a sickening video of all of her nipple slips.
its really long and nasty.
Also videos at Monterey CA, Indy State Fair, and Country Thunder where she didn't know the words to her songs. She had to stop the band and start over. Does she not rehearse? All three places! If I paid money for that I'd be pissed well I really wouldn't go in the first place. Horrible stage presence and she has been a pop person. Theres a video too of a Cowboys half-time show and she is lip syncing. What the El?
Looks alone, it has to be Kim K. But, looks isn't the only factor. Gisele is the lesser of 3 evils. She's smarter than Simpson, and not as slutty as Kim K. Kim K is a skank and Simpson is a dumbass. By default it's Gisele, who looks like a transsexual. Where's the "None of the Above" choice?
TMZ, there should be a poll asking which of these 3 was born a MALE. I'd say A and C.
Gi not only can claim a tight end but a loose "V"
U GUYS MUST BE CRAZ,REGGIE KNOWS....she is enough to make ya say..ohh! LORD!!
why do you have to include the Ãbermodel Gisele Bündchen at the same group of those two stupid girls? Gi is way too better, love you Gi.

The storytelling gets repetitive, but there is enough here to make Smiley feel fresh and more or less satisfying as a low-key creeper.
Internet chat rooms provide the dubious hook for this generic slasher movie.
This film will not do for the Internet what Psycho did for showers-no more computers have to be smashed because of it.
Smiley's face, or lack of one, is the single creepy effect in the limited trick bag of first-time writer-director Michael Gallagher, age 24, who otherwise relies, again and again, on false-scare musical shrieks to make audiences jump.
While it's easy to appreciate Gallagher tackling the fruitful subject of Internet urban legends...it's a scratch on the surface. Maybe he's just looking to get the ball rolling, but Smiley is likely to be buried in the bargain bin.
Feels like a late-arriving film class homework assignment that the students didn't really care about.
It's amazing what a killer mask and a smarter than expected ending can do to a mediocrity like Smiley
A thunderously stupid horror movie of slapdash construction and ping-pong tonalities.
Mostly it fails, due in large part to the poor acting, low production values, and a weak script that bogs down what might otherwise have been an interesting film.
YouTube transplant Gallagher's freshman effort is doggedly formulaic -- his blood-smeared Smiley is a sock-puppet boogeyman, a low-rent knockoff of Candyman and Ghostface.
It's nice to see that Gallagher may be trying to tap into something that will talk specifically to his generation but at the same time he's not willing to cop out to all the current horror trends in making his film.
One of the most inept movies of 2012. The only thing truly scary about this terror film is that somebody paid to have it produced.
Smiley's story is wasted on terrible horror execution, creating a frustrating and tiring watch filled with inside internet jokes most older viewers will not be LOL-ing about.
Smiley the boogeyman may or may not be a joke, but Smiley the movie definitely is.
A modest, low-budget horror movie with some effective ideas and an engaging lead performance but it clutters itself down with too much dialogue about its title character and the very concept of evil being potentially brought to physical life.
The chances of seeing a bunch of people dressed as Smiley this October 31st is giving too much credit to a project that will be forgotten before it has any chance of becoming more than a minor pop-cultural footnote.
Audience Reviews for Smiley
Super Reviewer
Yep, it's "Candyman" for the Skype generation. Director Michael Gallagher started out making popular YouTube videos which is exactly what this movie looks like with it's garish lighting and minimal set dressing. In fairness the script does manage to tie up all it's loose ends which is more than can be said for most big-budget flicks today.
Super Reviewer
"LULZ", in case you don't know is an internet slang usually translated to laughing out loud intensely or laughing at someone's expense: We the public paradoxically can be categorized into this very definition as we are senseless enough to even donate this manure of a film a subsequent glance while those involved with production are laughing to the bank (though no question the amount will be small). In any case "Smiley" is one of those films you suspect is probably garbage but you're mysteriously enticed to see it anyways; my expectations were exceeded well beyond reality.
The film revolves around an urban legend known as Smiley, a figure with stitched-up eyes and grin who appears when people engage in anonymous online chat sessions. Smiley is basically a cyberspace cheat of Candyman/Scream, an unscary being magically appearing behind victims and gutting them with tedious competence. Within the first five minutes we're given the cheap jump scare right off the bat.....red flag......this is going to be a long 95 minutes. Not only do we have to deal with the constant failed attempts of ridiculous pop-ups; we're in addition provided with what has to be the worst dialogue script in 2012. Our protagonist, Ashley (Caitlin Gerard), who upon smoking pot with her wild roommate, Proxy (Melanie Papalia), awkwardly announces, "I think I'm high on your marijuana", later we're presented with her extraordinary insight of her surroundings, "He chased, he cut me, and then we ripped my shirt", uttered so unnaturally you'd think she was lying . Even with the rather cynical and disturbing faith of our na�ve protagonist, she comes off as such an aggravating moron that it's hard not to root for her demise. Not much better can be spoken for of the other cast members including our YouTube stars (Shane Dawson and Toby Turner) who have no problems aggravating the hell out of me.
In the end, yes this is a low-budget film but it's disappointing that the creators generated a final product so insipid and deceitful; one wonders who in their right mind would produce such a thing. By the end we're given the obligatory cynical twist, and the dreaded final sequel-baiting money shot, as well as a brief appearance by Keith David that, in eliciting pity for an actor working in material far beneath him, proves Smiley's saddest moment (You could also include Roger Bart).

Now according to the official website which says "After learning of an urban legend in which a demented serial killer named SMILEY can be summoned through the Internet, mentally fragile Ashley must decide whether she is losing her mind or becoming Smiley's next victim" for a plot synopsis that's completely pointless with two twist at the end. These two twists really killed this movie as you see serial killer "Smiley" kill dozen of generic teenagers on screen and only two of the killings actually happened. Yes that's right, only two killing in a horror movie and only one you actually get to see. You might be wondering what the twist in this movie is, which I'm going to tell you since this is really something you don't want to spent your money on. The twist being that "Smiley" was just a prank by horrible teenagers which means I just saved you an hour and a half of a pointless and cliche horror movie. As for the teenagers, they're glad that they killed an innocent college student and thought it was hilarious that the mentally unstable young woman jumped out of a window and killed herself in a attempt to getaway from what she thought was a serial killer in a life threatening situation. Unfortunately only one of these awful teenagers gets killed at the end with a twist that proves the urban legend of Smiley is real. So in case you missed that, I just spend an hour and a half on watching a prank that killed a mentally unstable young woman instead of horror movie following the title serial killer. That's gets me angry since the horror aspect of this movie has only has one technique of trying to scare the audience with the very tiresome "jump scare" repeatedly. I kid you not the director used a "jump scare" in the first minute of the movie. That's really pathetic if you're trying to scare the audience before giving them any kind of information or establishing your setting. This becomes tiresome in the movie very fast since it's the only technique that is use to scare people and the plot is horrible. The cast themselves aren't that bad in the acting department, but most of them will get on your nerves. It's very obvious why some of these actress were cast in this (including one that tries to look like Jennifer Lawrence) and it's eye candy for the audience which is the only thing this offers. Which in all honesty, is something we don't want in a horror movie and not worth our time with a twist that makes the audience hate the characters even more than they already did.
Smiley might not be one of the worst horror movies I've seen, but with generic characters you'll hate and twists that make the entire movie pointless to watch are things that won't put a smile on anyone face. Smiley is an inaccurate title since you'll most likely be enraged by what you just watched. As for the DVD disc I receive it got run over by a train with the hopes that no one else would see it.

COVER STORY: Creative talents heat up in holiday classes
Thursday, December 9, 2010
By MICHELE LEMMON
The Columbus Dispatch
"Some field trips turn out better than others, as any teenager would attest.
Musty museums might prompt young minds to wander.
On the other hand, blasting furnaces, glowing globs of molten glass and talented craftspeople creating art are sure to grab attention. Teenagers from the Hilltop YMCA who earned a spot in a field trip last week to Glass Axis received a peek at what the public will see this weekend." [Read More]

Al Jazeera America is Launching: Here is What I am Looking For
I have been following the build-up of Al Jazeera America since it was announced. As a fan of Al Jazeera English's coverage, I had high hopes for this channel; but some reports about the network raise concerns.
My wariness first came when Al Jazeera decided to pull an op-ed from its website. Glenn Greenwald of The Guardian does a great job of explaining why this action is troublesome, that it is not about the article, but about stifling opinion. It is very odd to take down an op-ed once it is published. This concerned me, and gave great pause to my expectations of Al Jazeera America when I heard that the directive came from a contractor working on launching the network.
More concerns arose when I read another report by Glenn Greenwald on Al Jazeera America . Greenwald hits the nail on the head on most of what I was looking forward to Al Jazeera America, "Those excited by the entrance of a new Al Jazeera network into the US marketplace - and I included myself in that group - typically cited the urgent need for such an adversarial, bold and brave approach on the US airways from a large and well-funded TV news organization." Greenwald outlines an email from a former Al Jazeera English employee who says this will not be the case. Al Jazeera employees refuted these claims.
Other than offering hard-hitting journalism, my biggest expectation out of Al Jazeera America was that it would give me a good source of international news. In fact my first thought when I heard a new network from Al Jazeera was coming to my television was "finally some real international coverage." It is not just that American news networks don't do a good job, it is that often they aren't covering something at all. I was hoping to see Al Jazeera America give attention here as their sister channel Al Jazeera English has done a stellar job, but again flags were raised . Brian Stelter over at the New York Times explains a shift in thinking, and more focus was going to be put on domestic news and away from international.
Michael Calderone over at The Huffington Post also wrote about the concerns about Al Jazeera America, it is written really well and does a great job of summarizing some of the key concerns that have been flying around. It also brought in words from employees who are working at Al Jazeera America. While they didn't quite reassure me that Al Jazeera America was going to be a great channel, they did say a lot of the right things, and made me feel that they are interested in doing good journalism and covering news that is under-covered.
In the last few weeks shortly before their launch, Al Jazeera America has been putting out content and a lot of it has been pretty good, telling me maybe they are on the right path. If you go to Al Jazeera America's website, you will see an abundance of content, and quite a bit of international news sprinkled in there. Skimming through it the other day I found this article on the stop-and-frisk Policy in New York, it was great to not only see them covering this and leading with it on their website, but how they handled the story, like talking to someone from a neighborhood where stop-and-frisk happens.
Almost all of the information about the channel's lineup has been revealed and there is a lot to like. They are doing an American version of their show The Stream, which originally started on Al Jazeera English. It is a show where they engage with the audience via social networks, and I am also glad to see that they are seeking input for their other shows on social networks, it is just not something you see from other news networks. They are going to have a science/technology show, something I've always been interested in seeing on air, called TechKnow. They will have live news bulletins on every half-hour, something that will come in handy if done right, because news networks now often don't break a story when it is at night, they will just be playing a recorded show. [Update: since they launched they have had news bulletins on every hour.]
So I will be tuning in on Tuesday when they launch, and I am hoping they prove my concerns wrong. I will be looking for excellence in reporting from them not only because of their past in Al Jazeera English, but because the American market desperately needs a great news network.

Science is Cool
Over the course of this year there has been several science events that have garnered attention and are held as genuine achievements.
The First one was at the end of May with Space X when on May 25th their Dragon spacecraft became the first commercial spacecraft to attach to the International Space Station (ISS). This event was probably the most captivating of them all because there was a livestream of the countdown and the actual launch. This mission was a test run for their official cargo run, which happened earlier this month and was successful.
The next major event came as an announcement from the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN (originally Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire),that they had found a new particle consistent with the Higgs Boson particle. They can't confirm it is the Higgs Boson particle though, as they say it could perhaps be "something more exotic." This news, coming from two years of data and over ten years of experimenting, echoed all over the internet and even made its way to television. Better yet people were talking about it and were watching the live stream of the announcement.
The landing of Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity was the most recent. This story also got picked up everywhere and had people talking about it before and after. You were not able to get a livestream of the event because of many technical limitations, but it was supplemented by news conferences by NASA before the event and livestream of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where they provided commentary of what was happening.
With many shows about science coming the excitement should continue, and that is a fantastic thing. Out of the three shows two of them are reboots sequels of once popular shows, able to return because of this resurgence of interest in science.
"Bill Nye the Science Guy" is a the show that was originally on PBS will be returning on the Nerdist YouTube Channel as originally announced on the Nerdist Podcast.
Next we have a followup to Carl Sagan's "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage," a show that covered many broad science topics, called "Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey" presented by Neil deGrasse Tyson and produced by Seth Macfarlane and Ann Duryan, widow of Carl Sagan. This documentary television series will be broadcasted on fox and Neil deGrasse Tyson indicates it will be premiering in the Spring of 2014 as a thirteen-part series.
Lastly we have Neil deGrasse Tyson will also be appearing on "Startalk" on Nerdist a port of his fantastic radio show, a talk show with guests talking about their relation to science. Startalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson will premiere tomorrow.
But why these shows? Sure there are many other science shows around on science specific channels (or as Neil deGrasse likes to call them, the "science ghetto"). But these shows are on Fox and YouTube so they will be able to reach mass, and hopefully they will be able to get many new people educated, and the mass interested in science—again.

The End of Static Products
Previously computers were the only the products to get updates. Now we are seeing all sorts of products from phones to televisions getting them. We are seeing the demise of the static product.
The technology website The Verge is the latest to jump on. Other sites do push "updates" but usually they come in a site refresh every year or so not steady updates. The Verge even has a version history page just like you would get with apps.
Speaking of apps, you are now getting easy application update by the way of app stores. You are not having to go out and buy another copy and install it over your old copy, you just have to press an update button. There is also an advantage for the App developers, because it makes it more likely for the user to see that their is an update and this might make the user pick up an app that they had not used in a while. With app stores you get the convenience of all updates in one place. The mac is getting the new convenience of being able to update your operating system via the Mac Appstore.
If you have a Google TV then your television will get updates. People are also watching content on their televisions from their Apple TV and Xbox where they will get updates for both.
If you have a modern smartphone you will get updates to your phone. The prefered way of updating a smart phone is over the air (OTA) updates, which allow you to update your phone without having to hook it up to a computer. The iPhone and Android phones both have OTA updates, but the Windows Phone does not. Android has OTA updates but isn't perfect, it has the issue in not pushing updates often and not getting to all phones.
It is not just the computer like devices and the apps that run on them that are getting updates. With the Nest Learning Thermostat your thermostat can get updates.
Updates allow developers to give their users a better user experience as time progresses. The developer can quickly fix a bug with an update, no need for the product to be sent in. It allows the product to stay up to its quality indefinitely. There will be products that do not have updates, but they will be in the minority and will have less of chance to be picked up by customers. It is best to give your users updates and make them easy.

iCloud.com: Just Another Set of Apps
Back in June at WWDC 2011, Steve Jobs said when he unveiled iCloud, "we're going to demote the PC and the Mac to just be a device." He then showed how the Mac, iPhone, iPod touch and iPad were all on the same level and iCloud was above all of them.
But there should be something else on the level of the devices, and that is The iCloud website. This is not just because it to is being pushed data from iCloud, but it is treated with with the same level of importance. When poking around with some settings I found out that the settings in the iCloud's web apps control just the apps themselves, just like the native apps on iOS devices and on the Mac. It will take a little bit to get used to, but I think it is for the better.
This is very unique. See most other web services have a web app and a native app. The web app is thought of as the control panel to them and because of this the native app is crippled. They are treated differently because the developers think their users will perceive the web app as being closer, or is, the cloud because it is on the web. Something that is not true, so the developers are underestimating their users. In Apple's view all of their apps should be granted the same power. It might be difficult at first not have a main settings that controls all the apps, but it is for the better, because in reality each of those apps have a different use case so they should have their own settings.

A Step in the Wrong Direction by Google Music
Today Google released Google Music, but the product is very uninteresting. The Google Music store has brought nothing new to the table, it is basically iTunes except with sharing to Google Plus instead of Ping. It is pay-to-play instead of the on-demand, which is where the music market is heading.
Just read this article about how Spotify, the leading streaming on-demand music service, and Facebook are scaring iTunes. If iTunes is in for trouble, Google Music should feel just as scared. Spotify already had an estimated 13 million in August and added over 4 million after their intergration with Facebook. People clearly want on-demand not pay-to-play.

Mobile is for Doing, Web is for Viewing
Cell phones have become a computer that you can carry with you anywhere. One of the most popular uses is social networking. It is so big that Facebook, the biggest social network, is reporting that more than 350 million people are using it through their mobile device that is more than 43% of their active users. Mobile is not only playing a major part in social networks but has become the de facto way to update your social network if you have a smartphone.

Guy Kawasaki: What I learned from Steve Jobs
One of Guy Kawasaki's lessons he learned from Steve Jobs:
Real CEOs ship.
For all his perfectionism, Steve could ship. Maybe the product wasn't perfect every time, but it was almost always great enough to go. The lesson is that Steve wasn't tinkering for the sake of tinkering—he had a goal: shipping and achieving worldwide domination of existing markets or creation of new markets.
At first I was taken back by this because it doesn't seem like something Apple would adhere to because their products seem perfect when shipped and perfection is something that seems to be on the opposite side of the spectrum from the "just ship it" belief. But then when I thought about deeper and Apple does do this, take for example the iPhone they have shipped a new one every year since 2007. This definitely stems from Steve Jobs, he was the one to tell Steve Wozniak to ship the Apple I. To ship these products they had to exclude some features in the first iteration, they are easily forgotten because of the perfection of the features that are shipped.

The Joy of Interface Sounds
Sounds are not just for games or notifications or games. Many apps will just have sounds used for their notifications, and even then they often just use Apple's built in sounds. People might think original in app sounds are just for games. Well this is not true, they can be used for many types of apps.
Normally boring apps become more enjoyable with in-app sounds. Instacast calls them interface sounds, and I think that is an apt name for them. Some of the apps that take advantage of them are the Tapbots apps (Tweetbot is one of the apps, here is a demo video). Instacast is another great app that uses them, you can hear them when you refresh the feeds, there is a new episode, or an episode has finished downloading. Spotify gives you a sound when you pause and resume a song. Apps use them for actions or in-app notifications.
Apple uses interface sounds. Most of them are operating system interface sounds like when you unlock the phone, typing and putting the phone to sleep. They also put them in their apps, when you take a picture with the camera app, dialing in the phone app, sending a message and sending an email.
More developers can make their apps less bland and more delightful by adding interface sounds.

The Early Days of Twitter
How was Twitter used in its early days? How did people converse without all the syntax that is established now?
Earlier this year on Twitter's fifth anniversary, people were retweeting old tweets, and there was one I saw that wasn't retweeted that much. By not having many retweets I was able to see it was retweeted from the account @wetreet. I didn't know who it was so I checked it out. On its bio it says "retweet up from status_id = 1," and it does just that, retweeting tweets from the very beginning and then progressing through more recent tweets. The account was really interesting, so I went through them and found some really interesting tweets that answered the questions I had at the beginning, below are those tweets.

Business Class News
In this article Oliver Reichenstein of Information Architects, Inc. makes the case for a freemium model of news. Oliver proposes this model in favor of paywalls that sites like the Wall Street Journal and more recently the New York Times. He promotes the idea of the user paying for a better experience instead paying for the information. The paying users would get a site that was stripped of advertisements and a better design given the increased space they have.
When I read this article I thought of magazines. I have found the magazines that I read are really well designed. I have also seen the trend of that most or sometimes all of there content is also put up online, this is true with Wired (pictured below) and Macworld.
A news organization does run differently than one produce magazines however the magazine style can be altered to work for them. A news organization could compile there top stories into a magazine at the end of the week or month.
In this time it has to be everywhere though, online, an app for tablets and print if you want. This will be the important factor, to have it available everywhere and anywhere you are, this is the only way to be successful.

FA Cup Final 1966
14 May, 1966
EVERTON 3-2 Sheffield Wednesday
Wembley Stadium
FA Cup Final
Attendance: 100,000
Wembley Stadium saw one of its most dramatic finals when Everton met up with Sheffield Wednesday in 1966. But the hero of the hour was an unlikely one who had played in one previous FA Cup tie for the Blues. Mike Trebilcock had only played in the semi-final against Manchester United and had only appeared in seven League games all season.
Goodison favourite, Fred Pickering had been left out of the starting line-up at Trebilcock's expense and eyebrows were raised by the Goodison faithful, as Pickering was one of their favourite sons. Mike Trebilcock was a young Cornishman who Catterick had signed from Plymouth Argyle the previous New Year's Eve for £20,000, but Catterick believed he could do a job for the Blues and so it proved.
"Fred was popular and could score goals, " said Catterick later, "but he'd been injured and gone off the boil a bit. Trebilcock was a first rate goal poacher. I always felt his sharpness would show." Catterick, astute as ever, was right. Trebilcock emerged as an unlikely hero on a day that will live long in the memory for those who saw it and will live in the memories of Blues forever. It was simply one of the best finals ever.
The Owls got off to a flying start and were 1-0 up inside the first four minutes. Jim McCalliog had a pot shot at goal and it took a wicked deflection off England left back, Ray Wilson that flew into the net leaving Gordon West helpless. In fact Wednesday were on top for most of the first half with the Blues' chances limited. Everton's misery was further compounded when Alex Young's expertly finished goal was disallowed for off-side before the "Golden Vision" appeared to be brought down in the penalty box by Ron Springett only for the referee to wave play on.
Wednesday could, and perhaps should, have extended their lead just a few minutes later but McCalliog's shot was brilliantly blocked after a goalmouth melee. The Yorkshiremen nevertheless appeared comfortable with their lead, inviting Everton to bring the game to them putting the onus on them to search for the equaliser.
At half time that The Owls were comfortably in control. The Everton side that had come to Wembley as the first team ever to reach the FA Cup Final without conceding a goal in the preceding rounds was struggling to make an impact.
The second period began more or less as the previous had finished, with Everton enjoying more of the ball but failing to capitalise on the advantage.
Young was desperately unlucky not to level the scores five minutes into the half when he received Temple's inch-perfect ball, turned sharply and smashed the ball goalwards from the penalty spot. However, Springett palmed it wide for a corner.
At the other end, McCalliog fired just wide for Wednesday in the 54th minute and only three minutes after that, West parried a fierce shot by Fantham and David Ford was on hand to power the ball home to make it 2-0 to the Yorkshiremen.
What followed was one of the greatest Cup final fight backs of all time, as Everton regrouped and set about their uphill task. The Blues' response was almost immediate. Just over two minutes later, Derek Temple's header was blocked and Trebilcock made no mistake from 12 yards to make it 2-1.
Another five minutes later and the Blues were level. Alex Scott launched a free kick into the Wednesday area, which was not properly cleared by Sam Ellis, and Trebilcock crashed home from the edge of the area, to give Everton their second. Suddenly, it was Wednesday who found themselves on the back foot.
With 16 minutes remaining, Gerry Young in the Sheffield defence failed to control a bouncing ball and Temple seized on it to race clear and fire past Springett from the edge of the area to put the Blues ahead for the first time. Trebilcock had a chance to complete his hat-trick in shortly after but was denied by Springett.
Wednesday did have one final chance in the 89th minute but Fantham was unable to convert and the day belonged to the men from Merseyside, who had brought the cup back to Goodison for the first time since Dixie Dean and Co. won it in 1933. Brian Labone went up to collect the trophy from Princess Margaret and the Goodison roar echoed around Wembley once again.

Say goodbye to "all black errthang" because for the next month or so orange is the new black and everything is all about pumpkins. Pumpkin lattes, pie, muffins, beer, etc, and now pumpkin sweatshirts.
Orange is a pretty loud color for most guys but if you keep it muted or wear it in small doses with your accessories, it can add a fun pop to your outfits. I love this dark orange ombre sweatshirt from Katin. The gradient helps subdue the otherwise bright color and plus its soo effin' comfortable. Pair orange with dark colors like navy, gray, and black for balance. How do you feel about incorporating orange pieces into your outfits this fall?

The one outwear/layering piece every guy needs for fall is a great tweed jacket. A sports jacket isn't a suit so it can be worn casually with plaids or a denim shirt and a pair of colored chinos or cords. Here I paired this light brown sports coat with a casual plaid shirt in warm autumn colors for an easygoing day time outfit. Check out the links below for some other great blazer options.

PLAYERS: Fili Moala, Pat McAfee
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
The Colts have decided to sign defensive end Fili Moala to 1 year contract. The Colts have kept another impending free agent from hitting the market. Fili Moala, who suffered a torn ACL midway through the season, was signed to a one year deal. The Colts also decided to retain Pat McAfee earlier this week with a franchise tag. The signing comes as a bit of surprised due to the ACL injury to Moala, but as we saw with Adrian Peterson, the procedure is very safe and good. It could make your knee stronger. Moala is expected to miss training camp and the majority of the preseason, but should be on track to be ready for Day 1.Moala is a former 2nd round pick, that hasn't lived up to the hype that came with him. He started all eight games he played for the Colts and started 30 games across the two previous seasons. If Moala is healthy, there's still a chance he'll face a challenge for his starting spot as the Colts try to improve their defense from 2012′s 26th-ranked unit. The monetary ...

A Soviet Drop-Out's Journey to Freedom
In search of the traces of my refugee transit camp in Vienna, on my way to America
The Tablet Longform newsletter highlights the best longform pieces from Tablet magazine. Sign up here to receive bulletins every Thursday afternoon about fiction, features, profiles, and more.
The little that remains of the memory of my refugee camp from the early 1980s is in extreme close-up: a breach in the concrete wall with barbed wire, a foot in a mended sock dangling from the upper bunk bed, an unzippable suitcase filled with obsolete things, a roll of the foreign toilet paper, pink like the fairy in The Wizard of Oz. And no establishing shot.
To tell you the truth, none of these things bothered me for decades. No pictures from the transit camp have been preserved and no address. I happily forgot my forgetting. My emigration from Leningrad to Boston had a few detours, gaps, and loose ends. But the point was not to travel on memory lane but to move on, to begin again. Why remember the unmemorable?
In the Soviet Union of the 1980s there was a code word: "to leave." If you whispered it with a mysterious gravitas, there would be no need to ask further questions. To leave meant to flee once and for good. You knew well your point of departure but not necessarily your destination. To leave was an intransitive verb that marked a break in space and time. You might as well be going to the moon or to the Underworld. Farewell parties in the 1970s and 1980s resembled funerals in their finality.
At the age of 19 I decided to emigrate and had to leave the country without my parents. I was stripped of citizenship and told that I would never be able to return to Leningrad and see my family. The "personal search" all of us went through at Customs lasted many hours and included intimate parts of our bodies and of our personal belongings. The Customs officers enjoyed the procedure. They fingered every scratch on the few family pictures, counted the number of permitted individuals in the group photos, penetrated every seam in our clothes, patted the inside lining of our oversized rusty-zippered suitcases in search of "the second bottom." Since then I always want to travel light, but more often than not, the zipper on my carry-on bag still doesn't come together till the last pull.
My father remembers the moment of my departure with a cinematic clarity. It took place at the gate in the Moscow Airport reserved especially for those who were "leaving for permanent residency." I said the last good-bye and moved behind the glass where my parents could still see me go through the next Customs gate. Another departing family, standing in line behind me, consisted of a young couple holding a baby and pushing a baby carriage and a grandfather carrying a large manuscript that was clearly invaluable to him. "Either the manuscript or the baby carriage," said the Customs officer. Whatever that manuscript was, this was the one thing the grandfather could not part with. "To hell with you," the young mother shouted and pushed away the baby carriage. At that moment I disappeared behind the glass. The baby carriage rolled slowly into the empty corridor and down the steps. An uncanny afterimage, courtesy of Sergei Eisenstein.
It was another seven years before my parents saw me again. In my family we are used to leaving longing behind together with personal belongings and to treating nostalgic tales with a grain of salt.
My "journey to freedom" was short in time and cosmic in proportion. This might have been the first time in my life that I traveled by plane across the border. In the Vienna airport I caught a glimpse of the spring sky framed by the ramp and a frivolous sign "Duty Free," which I couldn't decipher. We were greeted by the representative of the organizations assisting refugees and quickly herded into unmarked buses with darkened windows and transported to the outskirts of Vienna or somewhere else. We had no idea where we were and didn't ask indiscreet questions.
The first impression of the camp was disappointing. The place resembled a provincial military hospital or a monastery. Is this what the West looks like? Neither terrifying nor exhilarating, just banal. Among the transient residents of the camp were Jews from all over the Soviet Union, from Central Asia to Leningrad , Poles fleeing military law, Crimean Tatars, and a Russian Protestant escaping religious persecution. The camp was operated by several Jewish philanthropic agencies and guarded by Austrian soldiers with friendly German Shepherds. The latter were supposed to protect us from any attack from the outside. From what I remember, we worried little about that and just wanted to catch some rest and dream about the future. We took walks in the camp yard but never went outside the walls. Men told one another erotic dreams to fall asleep, and women kept their dreams to themselves. We ate plenty of comfort food and sweet bulochki and filled out many forms that itemized our hyphenated identities. Movies were shown all the time.
I would like to give you a more detailed description of the camp, to provide you with snippets of conversation between the emigrants on the upper bunk beds and emigrants on the lower bunk beds, their tired jokes and discussions of the meaning of existence, to convey the anxious whispers of the social workers and armed guards, to provide lifelike images of narrow beds with broken springs, the archives of classified documents next to the trash storage, ruined warehouses in the walled monastic yard where brown pigeons pecked at the cones of the local evergreens. I'd like to share with you the taste of the sweet bread soaked in the weak tea, the homey camp pasta with Viennese sausage and on the movie screen a flickering image of the sun-kissed athletic men and women building a city on the sand with song and dance. Only I don't remember any of that, and I'd rather not fill the gaps with a plausible fiction.
We never saw the Vienna that we dreamed about, the city of Mozart and Freud. We remained extraterritorial. Like the Freudian unconscious, our transit camp had no outside; it was a place out of place and a time out of time. I don't know how long we stayed there. It felt like we were in a time capsule, a place where there was no present, only the repressed past and the unknown future. Actually I had a good camera with me, a Leica or Zenith with a high-precision lens and a long zoom. Of course, it never occurred to me to use it. The camera was meant to be sold at the flea market in Rome together with Ukrainian linens, nesting dolls and caviar, to save some money for the rainy days "in the West." I studied photography as a teenager, experimenting with reflections on rippling water and urban panoramas. It never crossed my mind to photograph anything in the camp. There was nothing there "to write home about." New immigrants like to make cheerful pictures next to other people's houses and bright cars. The camp didn't seem worthy of a photograph.
Fifteen years after leaving the camp I became a photographer. I returned to photography as suddenly as I'd dropped it before. My digital camera has a few special effects that imitate the old Leica, but I don't use them. Since the late 1990s I've been documenting my travels through the world, collecting errors, overexposures, chance encounters. I have been taking pictures of the places that I would otherwise not remember.
Once during my presentation at the Vienna Kunsthalle commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, a man in the audience asked me a question about art: "Why do you photograph the same landscape in different places?"

I grabbed a CocoCare lip balm at a CVS and, despite a less than ideal ingredient list, I rather liked it. This balm is not all natural by any means.
Here are the ingredients:
Petrolatum; C18-36 Acid Triglyceride; C18-36 Acid Glycol Ester; Cocoa Butter; Aloe Vera Extract; Fragrance; Propylparaben; Butylparaben
However, the combo of coco butter and aloe vera gives it a nice buttery feel, but the petrolatum keeps it firmer and longer lasting than most all natural balms.
At $2.99 it is also nice and cheap. I would take this one over a regular Chapstick (but not over one of the newer Chapstick Fresh Effects Balms (link is to previous review)

An exciting new outdoor motocross facility is opening this weekend in Woodbine.
It's a project years in the making, and now it's finally here.
"This is great. This is a step in the right direction. We needed this for a long time," rider and nearby resident Eric Hartem said.
Eric Hartem is all revved up and Friday morning he came down to the Mount Pleasant State Park to check things out before the ATV tracks grand opening on Sunday.
"We'll have a place we can ride and we can look forward to. Everyone just has to respect the place," Hartem explained.
Construction crews put the finishing touches on the track early Friday Morning.
It's nearly a mile long and has jumps, curves, and obstacles.
"You want a little bit of every terrain. And this is what this offers. Instead of going and being illegal you'll have a place that you can come and practice," Hartem said.
The mayor says he expects this track to be multi purpose.
"This is not just for off road vehicles, its for snow mobiles too," Woodbine Mayor William Pikolycky said.
Mayor Pikolycky says this is a win–win for everyone. This is the first state funded ATV park in New Jersey and he expects within the next couple of years that the $393,000 property will be sold to a private company that will expand it.
"I think it's going to be an economic booster for the area because its going to be a facility that has been long over due," Pikolycky said.
The mayor sees a company expanding the property to include paintball and a larger course. For now anyone can come down and enjoy the track seven days a week free of charge.
Because of the expected crowds, if you are planning on riding this Sunday at the grand opening you will have register first for one of the two riding sessions at the Belle Plain state forest office.
Use of the track will be limited to registered ATV's and dirt bikes only. When it snows, snow mobiles will be permitted on the track.

A couple of things:
I went to my first Brain Frame last night, which was dope. Big ups and kudos to all that performed.
While I was waiting for the train home, some glassy-eyed, shady-lookin' dude approached me, asking if I had any cigarettes. I told him I didn't, sorry. He stood there for a minute looking at me; I said "what?" and he replied "nothing." And then he told me he was going to kill a dog, called me a psychopath, and walked away. The world's full of strange people.

The spacious ice rink in the center of downtown's Plaza of the Americas is the perfect escape for any middle-management yuppie who could use a cool break from that three-walled hell known as the cubicle. Located on the bottom floor of a building filled with law offices, real estate agencies, financial consolidation groups and Internet mortgage blabitty-blabitty-blahs, the rink generally will be filled with a mix of businesspeople, vacationers staying at the adjacent Westin City Center and local high-schoolers who make their way over via the Pearl Street DART station. Surrounding the ice rink is a plethora of shops and restaurants ready to provide you with a post-skate snack and some trinkets to bring home. Closer than the Galleria and better than hosing down the driveway on one of Texas' only subzero days, Americas Ice Garden Ice Rink is a chilly oasis in the middle of our concrete jungle.

I write "assume" because for some reason i can't open the link properly in my browser. Anyone catch the preview of the film? How does my hair look? Does my leg keep jumping around too much? Is my tie on straight?
LOL - somehow i don't think the Paparazzi will be hounding me on the PATCO high speed line anytime soon...congratulations to my esteemed colleague Aaron Rosand on the release of this new film!

People around the world are uniting for 'Malala and the 32 million girls day' in honour of injured Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai as part of a global day of action for girls' education.
It is part of a drive led by former prime minister Gordon Brown, UN Special Envoy for Global Education.
He has presented a petition to Pakistan president Asif Ali Zardari, along with one million signatures from Pakistan, demanding free and compulsory education.
Today marks exactly one month since 15-year-old education campaigner Malala was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman as she travelled home from school with two classmates in north-west Pakistan.
Malala is now recovering at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham after being flown to the UK for treatment a week after the shooting.
She has become a symbol of courage and received thousands of goodwill messages.
The public is being encouraged to show their support for today by using social networking sites to post messages.
Youth representatives worldwide are handing in the 'I am Malala' petition, which has already attracted more than one million signatures.
Mr Brown said: 'The president of Pakistan has agreed to work with the United Nations to ensure urgent delivery of education for all and to get Pakistan's five million out-of-school children into education for the first time.
'No bombs, bullets, threats or intimidation can deter the international community, working in partnership with Pakistan, to ensure we build the schools, train teachers, provide learning materials, and ensure that there is no discrimination against girls.'
Mr Brown announced that three million children in poor families in Pakistan will now receive cash in return for going to school.
He also set a goal with Mr Zardari to ensure that every girl and boy will have a quality education with teachers, books and classrooms by 2015.
The latest Unesco figures show that 61 million children worldwide are not in school – 32 million of whom are girls – and that Pakistan has the second largest number of girls out of school in the world.
In Pakistan today, Mr Brown met two of Malala's friends who were injured in the attack in Pakistan.
He said there was now a real momentum for change in the country.
'I believe that in Pakistan, the silent majority is speaking and that there is now a national consensus that the country can delay no longer in ensuring girls and boys have schools to go to and teachers to teach them,' Mr Brown said.
'This has been a breakthrough moment for Pakistan and now we must turn Pakistan's new ambitions and popular determination into delivery on the ground.'

As we enter July, football programs across the country are ramping up efforts to prepare for the upcoming season. While this is business as usual for many coaches, this season will be the first after all 50 states have passed legislation pertaining to sports-related traumatic brain injuries.
Mississippi, in January 2014, became the last state to adopt legislation started by Washington in 2009. Washington's...
The Council of State Governments Medicaid Policy Academy in Washington, D.C., June 18-20 provided attendees with important information about the many facets of the Medicaid program. Speakers at the sessions offered information beyond the sessions in video interviews.
Medicaid Role in State Budgets
Robin Rudowitz, associate director, Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, says Medicaid has a complicated role in state budgets.
The feds are running a demo program that would allow Medicaid reimbursement for inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Medicaid currently does not reimburse for enrollees ages 21 to 64 for private inpatient psychiatric institutions. Because of this exclusion, enrollees will go to a general hospital's emergency department. Even though an emergency department may not be equipped to properly treat an individual, they are required to accept everyone by federal law.
Federal Judge Rya Zobel issued a preliminary injunction yesterday overturning Gov. Deval Patrick's ban of the sale of the FDA approved painkiller, Zohydro. She concluded "that the Commonwealth's emergency order is preempted by federal law." Further, she stated, "If the Commonwealth were able to countermand the FDA's...
April 2014 ~ Stateline Midwest
Since 1996, states have had the authority under federal law to require welfare recipients to undergo drug testing.In recent years, more and more legislatures have given serious consideration to using this authority, including a handful of states in the Midwest. Kansas and Minnesota are among the nine U.S. states with drug-testing laws already in place, and according to the Center for Law and Social Policy, at least 30 states considered bills last year (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and North Dakota among them).
Just one day after Zogenix, the maker of the new painkiller Zohydro, filed a federal law suit challenging the Massachusetts ban of the drug, the first hearing was held Tuesday.
U.S. District Court Judge Rya Zobel, according to the AP, indicated that the drug company may have a point....
Gov. Peter Shumlin announced yesterday, according to the Burlington Free Press, restrictions that will make it harder for doctors to prescribe the new FDA approved painkiller Zohydro. His announcement follows last week's ban of the drug by Massachusetts.
After a community faces a violent tragedy—like Sandy Hook, Conn., or Aurora, Colo., or Tucson, Ariz.—members of the community and policymakers alike are thirsty for solutions. One program many communities are looking to is Mental Health First Aid.
Concerned about the rise in drug-related health problems among newborns, Indiana lawmakers unanimously approved a measure in February that takes a first step in trying to address Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome.
One in four adults will suffer from a mental health illness in any given year, according to the National Council for Community Behavioral Health Care. The council's Mental Health First Aid program is a nationally recognized eight-hour training to teach how to help people in an emergency situation stemming from mental illness or substance abuse. A few states have begun to adopt the program to help first responders and others handle mental health and substance abuse crises.

Former Circle association president takes on new role
Date: September 16, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Cheryl Whitten resigned from her role as president of the St. Armands Circle Association Tuesday, Sept. 15, at the group's monthly membership meeting. But she didn't say goodbye. She has now assumed a paid position as assistant for the St. Armands Circle Association.
Andrew Vac, former vice president of the association and broker/owner of Re/Max Excellence, is the new president.
Whitten sold her St. Armands ice-cream store, ScoopDaddy's, in April, but continued to serve as president of the association.
"Fortunately, it is a win-win situation," Whitten said. "I have gone full circle."

To say that mobility is affecting the way enterprises do business is akin to suggesting the planets revolve around the sun. These are not unproven theories, they are undisputed facts. However, while the modern model of the solar system was established long ago, the effects of enterprise mobility on business practices have only much more recently become overwhelmingly apparent.
From interacting with customers to improving employee productivity, mobility - in particular, the use of smart mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets - has proven its mettle as an effective business tool. In fact, a Symantec survey found that many companies are going all in on mobility, with 59 percent of respondents reporting that they are now making their line of business applications available on mobile devices. An even more impressive 71 percent of businesses are looking at implementing a customized corporate "app store" just for mobile applications.
However, for all the benefits of mobility there are clear and present challenges associated with the technology as well. In the same survey, nearly half of the organizations that responded - 48 percent - said they see enterprise mobility as "somewhat to extremely challenging." As a consequence, mobility in general is requiring significant effort to manage. Indeed, an average of 31 percent of IT staff at the organizations surveyed is involved in some way with mobility.
All this begs the question - why are companies finding mobility to be so challenging? There are numerous point answers to this question. These include dealing with employee demand to use personal devices for work and the need to support a fractured market, made up of many operating systems and device manufacturers. However, all these lead back to one overarching reason companies are struggling with mobility: most enterprises are trying to implement mobility while otherwise leaving their IT organizational structure unchanged.
In other words, companies are trying to fit the management and security of enterprise mobility into their existing IT organizational chart. This traditional structure has been well suited to managing PCs and laptops for the past 20 years, but just as Galileo's now famous telescope rendered the notion of a geocentric solar system - or one in which the earth is at the center of the solar system - archaic, so too has enterprise mobility rendered the traditional IT organizational infrastructure inadequate.
To better understand why this is the case, consider the segments that make up a typical traditional enterprise IT organization:
It all begins with a chief information officer. Under the CIO are a number of teams such as network operations, desktop or endpoint operations and application development and deployment. Working in parallel to the CIO is the chief information security officer. Under the CISO, the endpoint security team develops policies and puts technology in place to effectively secure the company's information.
Where does enterprise mobility fall? Regardless of whether we are talking about company-owned or personally owned devices, the answer, unfortunately, is into the gaps between these groups. The very nature of modern mobile technology causes it to span across the traditional IT boundaries.
For example, the desktop or endpoint operations team must be involved with managing mobility because, after all, at the end of the day we are talking about endpoints. However, mobile devices rely on a high degree of connectivity to the network and the cloud, much more so than traditional endpoints. Thus, the network operations should have a say as well. At the same time, mobile devices are nothing without the apps that make them so productive. The application development and deployment team is also in the mix. And we cannot forget that the endpoint security team must be involved to enforce mobility-related security and compliance policies.
In reality, what is happening in most organizations is that no single group is being given charge over mobility, because each plays a part in the mobile environment in some way or another. Even when one of the above teams is given responsibility to oversee mobility, that particular group typically has vastly different priorities than the others that must also be involved. The result is a lack of efficiency and cohesiveness when it comes to enterprise mobility. Or, in other words, the result is nearly half of companies finding mobility to be "somewhat to extremely challenging" as the survey discussed above concluded.
What is the solution? The companies that are most successful at implementing mobility have adapted their overall IT organizational structure to meet the demands of mobility, not the other way around. This begins with a chief mobility officer who operates side by side with the CIO and CISO, or alternatively a director of enterprise mobility who reports directly to the CIO. Either way, under this individual is an enterprise mobility group with the sole mandate to implement, manage and secure mobile technology.
Such an enterprise mobility group oversees all aspects of the mobile environment, from the devices to the apps to the connectivity. This team also enforces CISO-developed policies. There are a few recommendations for developing and operating such a group that are nearly universally applicable. These include:
- Think strategically when building the organizational model. An ad-hoc enterprise mobility team is not the answer and will only result in partial success. To be highly effective, enterprise mobility groups need to be organized strategically. An organizational model for the team should include details on how to resource the group and the specific mandate or charter they will operate under. In addition, it should also cover the particulars on how they should approach the challenge of overseeing the company's mobile initiatives. This includes the technology and tools - such as mobile device management and mobile application management - they should use, how to segment the user base and identify the needs of each segment, how to implement scalable solutions, how to plan for centralized management and how to phase in integration with existing technology and networks.
- Involve line of business decision makers. To make an enterprise mobility team successful, business stakeholders must be given direct access to the group's leadership. Doing so will ensure that the policies and strategies the team develops and implements are in line with what those that have feet on the ground actually need. Many companies struggle to achieve the full return on investment possible through mobility because they do not have a clear understanding of what they are trying to accomplish when it comes to mobility.
- Make improving the user experience a primary goal. Enterprise mobility is a complex topic, but it all boils down to one thing: user productivity. Thus, the user experience must be a focus of the enterprise mobility group. Every facet of the mobile user experience must be accounted for, from on-boarding to app delivery to access and data manipulation. It's all about helping users work smarter and making personal and business activities coexist as seamlessly as possible. Related to this is defining and measuring a new mobile service-level agreement that the team will be held to. It should include users' ability to access to data and apps quickly, the use of a wide variety of platforms and the capability to access data from anywhere.
- Keep the lines of communication open. One of the worst things that can happen once an enterprise mobility group is created is to allow the team to operate in a vacuum. As previously discussed, mobility crosses over the various divisions within a traditional IT infrastructure. As such, it is imperative that the enterprise mobility group maintains a close working relationship with the rest of IT. It will be difficult for them to effectively do their job if they do not.
It is important to realize that many companies are exploring how they can best take advantage of and streamline mobility. The companies that figure out quickly the benefits of creating a dedicated team to manage enterprise mobility will have a significant advantage over those that do not. In addition, it is important to note that regardless of how far down the path of enabling mobility a company is, it cannot be guaranteed that employees are not already using mobile devices for business. By establishing a team to oversee this use, companies can make sure it happens on their terms.
In short, one doesn't need to be an astronomer to see the impact enterprise mobility can have on day-to-day business operations. Creating a dedicated enterprise mobility group is the next step in maximizing these benefits.

Anthony Braxton (born June 4, 1945) is an American composer, musician, and philosopher. Braxton has released well over 100 albums since the 1960s. Among the array of instruments he plays are the sopranino, soprano, C-melody, F mezzo-soprano, E-flat alto, baritone, bass, and contrabass saxophones; the E-flat, B-flat, and contrabass clarinets; and the piano. He used to play flute and alto flute as well, but has since discontinued his use of these instruments.
Braxton studied philosophy at Roosevelt University. He taught at Mills College in the 1980s, and was Professor of Music at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut from the 1990s until his retirement at the end of 2013. He taught music composition and music history, offering his personal and academic perspectives on the great, often marginalized men and women who made vital contributions to the dynamics of creative music and the avant-garde. He also led ensembles in performances of his original compositions, and helped several generations of upcoming musicians realize their own musical destinies by sharing his musical theories and visions. In 1994, he was granted a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant". In 2013, he was named a 2014 National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A landfill executive awaiting trial on charges he conspired with his brother-in-law to embezzle nearly $1 million from a New Orleans-based construction management company has been indicted on new charges stemming from an alleged tax fraud scheme.
Dominick Fazzio, a tax preparer who also serves as chief financial officer of the River Birch landfill, was charged Thursday with plotting to illegally reduce the amount of federal taxes paid by the owner of an oilfield services company by more than $3.5 million.
The new indictment also brings new fraud, conspiracy and money laundering charges against Fazzio's brother-in-law, Mark Titus.
Titus already has pleaded guilty to conspiring with Fazzio to embezzle money from Titus' former employer, Garner Services LLC. Titus was sentenced Wednesday to five years in prison.
