Awesome but not warm
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Super stylish jacket with awesome fabric, just wish it was a bit warmer. I'm a 6'3" guy who's pretty thin and the jacket is a pretty trim cut (but could be thinner). My only gripe is that the jacket is just not warm enough to wear on its own and if it's sub 50 degrees definitely needs a warm layer underneath.
Also if you have long arms and ride a bike, your wrists will be exposed between your gloves and the end of the jacket.

Great warm and wind proof winter coat
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I use this pretty much daily in the winter. It's warm and wind proof. I find it's a bit roomier on the shoulder than I'd prefer, but I'm a slim build.
Great stylish jacket!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
Warm, stylish, timeless and durable wool jacket. Very nice slim-fit outline, although the shoulders are in a (classic) wide cut! Good buy!

Before the
Federal Communications Commission
Washington, D.C. 20554In the Matter of
File No.: EB-11-SE-102
Emigrant Storage LLC
NAL/Acct. No.: 201232100034
Adopted: July 31, 2012
Released: July 31, 2012By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:
In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (NAL), we find Emigrant Storage LLC
(Emigrant), former licensee of Private Land Mobile Radio Service (PLMRS) station WPKM212, Reno,
Nevada, apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) for its
apparent willful and repeated violation of Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended
(Act),1 and Sections 1.903(a) and 1.949(a) of the Commission's rules (Rules).2 The noted apparent
violations involve Emigrant's operation of PLMRS station WPKM212 for more than nine years without
the required Commission authority and its associated failure to timely file an application to renew the
station's license.
On April 15, 1997, Emigrant was granted a license to operate station WPKM212 for five
years through April 15, 2002, the expiration date of the station's license.3 On January 22, 2002, the
Commission's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Wireless Bureau) sent Emigrant a courtesy
"renewal reminder" notice for station WPKM212, alerting Emigrant that it was required to file a renewal
application for the station prior to the expiration of the station's license if it planned to continue
operation.4 Emigrant failed to file a renewal application for station WPKM212 prior to the license
expiration date. In the absence of such filing, Emigrant's license for station WPKM212 automatically
terminated on the April 15, 2002 expiration date.5 More than nine years later, on July 31, 2011, Emigrant
filed with the Wireless Bureau a request for Special Temporary Authority (STA), stating that it had
recently discovered that its license for station WPKM212 had expired and that the STA was necessary for
its continued operation.6 On August 3, 2011, the Wireless Bureau granted the STA until January 30, 2012

Storage LLC, Reference No. 1250367 (Jan. 22, 2002).

action, on the expiration date specified therein, unless a timely application for renewal is filed.").

Federal Communications Commission
DA 12-1224under call sign WQOB527.7 On August 23, 2011, Emigrant filed an application for a new PLMRS station
license, which was granted on October 3, 2011.8
Because it appeared that Emigrant operated station WPKM212 after the expiration of its
license, the Wireless Bureau referred this matter to the Enforcement Bureau for investigation and possible
enforcement action. On April 26, 2012, the Spectrum Enforcement Division of the Enforcement Bureau
issued a letter of inquiry (LOI) to Emigrant, directing the company to submit a sworn written response to
a series of questions relating to Emigrant's failure to file an application for renewal of the WPKM212
license and to Emigrant's continued operation of the station after the expiration of the station license.9
Emigrant responded to the LOI on May 3, 2012 (LOI Response).10 In its LOI Response,
Emigrant states that on or about July 19, 2011, Emigrant received a telephone call from another wireless
operator stating that Emigrant's radio communications "were coming through" on the operator's
frequencies and that Emigrant's license for station WPKM212 had expired.11 According to Emigrant, its
failure to renew the license for station WPKM212 was an "oversight."12 Emigrant also admitted that it
continued to operate the station after the April 15, 2002 license expiration date, explaining that it was not
aware that the station license had expired.13 Emigrant asserts that it filed its STA request "promptly" after
the telephone call from the other wireless operator and that its STA was granted approximately two weeks
Section 301 of the Act and Section 1.903(a) of the Rules prohibit the use or operation of
any apparatus for the transmission of energy or communications or signals by radio except under, and in
accordance with, a Commission-granted authorization.15 Additionally, Section 1.949(a) of the Rules
requires that licensees file renewal applications for wireless radio stations "no later than the expiration
date of the authorization for which renewal is sought, and no sooner than 90 days prior to expiration."16
Absent a timely filed renewal application, a wireless radio station license automatically terminates.17
As a Commission licensee, Emigrant was required to maintain its authorization in order
to continue to operate station WPKM212. Emigrant has admitted that it failed to renew its license and
that it continued to operate station WPKM212 without Commission authority for more than nine years,
7 The Wireless Bureau granted the STA without prejudice to any enforcement action related to the unauthorized
operation of station WPKM212. See id.

Federal Communications Commission
DA 12-1224from April 15, 2002, when the license expired, until August 3, 2011, when its request for STA was
granted. Although Emigrant argues that its failure to file for the renewal of the station's authorization
was an "oversight," it is well established that administrative oversight or inadvertence is not a mitigating
factor.18 By operating station WPKM212 after the license had expired, Emigrant apparently violated
Section 301 of the Act and Section 1.903(a) of the Rules. Emigrant also apparently violated Section
1.949(a) of the Rules by failing to timely file a renewal application for station WPKM212.
Section 503(b)(1)(B) of the Act19 and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules20 provide that any
person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be
liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term "willful" means that
the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate the Rules,
and "repeated" means more than once or for more than one day.21 Based on the record before us, it
appears that Emigrant's apparent violations of Section 301 of the Act and Sections 1.903(a) and 1.949(a)
of the Rules are both willful and repeated.22
In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act directs
us to consider factors such as "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with
respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such
other matters as justice may require."23 Section 1.80(b) of the Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of
$10,000 for operation of a station without Commission authority and a base forfeiture amount of $3,000
for failure to file required forms or information.24 The Commission has held that a licensee's continued
operation without authorization and its failure to timely file a renewal application constitute separate
violations of the Act and the Rules and warrant the assessment of separate forfeitures.25 Accordingly, we
18 See Southern California Broad. Co., Memorandum Opinion and Order, 6 FCC Rcd 4387, 4387, para. 3 (1991),
recon. denied, 7 FCC Rcd 3454 (1992) (Southern California) (stating that "inadvertence … is at best, ignorance of
the law, which the Commission does not consider a mitigating circumstance").
19 47 U.S.C. § 503(b)(1)(B).
20 47 C.F.R. § 1.80(a).
21 See 47 U.S.C. § 312(f)(1), (2). See also Southern California, 6 FCC Rcd at 4388, para. 5 (the definitions of
willful and repeated contained in the Act apply to violations for which forfeitures are assessed under Section 503(b)
of the Act).
22 While Section 503(b)(6) of the Act generally bars the Commission from proposing a forfeiture for violations that
occurred more than a year prior to the issuance of an NAL, we may consider the fact that Emigrant's misconduct
occurred over an extended period (during the more than nine year period between 2002 and 2011) to place "the
violations in context, thus establishing the licensee's degree of culpability and the continuing nature of the
violations." Roadrunner Transportation Inc., Forfeiture Order, 15 FCC Rcd 9669, 9671-72, para. 8 (2000); see also
BASF Corporation, Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 25 FCC Rcd 17300, 17302, para 9 (Enf. Bur. 2010)
(forfeiture paid) (BASF Corporation); Call Mobile, Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 26 FCC Rcd 74, 76,
para 10 (Enf. Bur. 2011) (response pending) (Call Mobile). The apparent unlawful operation in this case continued
from April 15, 2002 (the license expiration) through August 3, 2011 (the STA grant). Therefore, the forfeiture
amount we propose herein relates to Emigrant's apparent continuing violations that ceased during the past year.

24 47 C.F.R. § 1.80(b). See also Forfeiture Policy Statement, 12 FCC Rcd at 17099, para. 22 (noting that
"[a]lthough we have adopted the base forfeiture amounts as guidelines to provide a measure of predictability to the
forfeiture process, we retain our discretion to depart from the guidelines and issue forfeitures on a case-by-case
basis, under our general forfeiture authority contained in Section 503 of the Act").
25 See Discussion Radio, Inc., Memorandum Opinion and Order and Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 19
FCC Rcd 7433, 7438, para 15 (2004).
Federal Communications Commission
DA 12-1224herein propose separate base forfeiture amounts for Emigrant's violations—$10,000 for Emigrant's
continued operation of station WPKM212 without Commission authority and $3,000 for Emigrant's
failure to file the renewal application for its station within the time period specified in Section 1.949(a) of
the Rules, for a total base forfeiture of $13,000.
Given the totality of the circumstances, and consistent with the Forfeiture Policy
Statement, we conclude that a significant upward adjustment of the base forfeiture is warranted. In this
regard, we are particularly mindful that Emigrant's apparent unlawful operation continued for more than
nine years—from April 15, 2002, the date that the license for station WPKM212 expired, until August 3,
2011, the date that Emigrant's STA was granted.26 In fact, the period of unauthorized operation was
nearly twice the length of the initial license term. As the Commission has emphasized, "[a]ll licensees are
responsible for knowing the terms of their licenses and for filing a timely renewal application if they seek
to operate beyond that term."27 In addition, we decline to downward adjust the forfeiture based on
Emigrant's claims that the violation resulted from "oversight" and a change in personnel.28 Consistent
with longstanding precedent, Emigrant's lack of knowledge or erroneous belief does not warrant a
downward adjustment of the forfeiture.29 We note, however, that the severity of the apparent violations is
26 In the past, the Commission has upwardly adjusted the base forfeiture in cases where the unauthorized operation
continued for an extended period of time. See BASF Corporation, 25 FCC Rcd at 17303, para. 11 (five years of
unauthorized operation); Shubat Transportation Company, Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 26 FCC Rcd
3782, 3786, para. 13 (Enf. Bur. 2011) (six years of unauthorized operation); Call Mobile, 26 FCC Rcd at 77, para.
12 (two and a half years of unauthorized operation). In a recent decision, however, one of the Bureau's
divisions addressed an apparent violation of Section 301 of Act involving an extended period of unauthorized
operation by proposing a limited upward adjustment. See Harrah's Atlantic City Operating Co., Notice of Apparent
Liability for Forfeiture, 26 FCC Rcd. 5153 (Enf. Bur., Northeast Region 2011) (Harrah's). On reflection, we
believe that the forfeiture penalty proposed in Harrah's was unduly low in light of the nearly ten years of continuous
unauthorized operation and other circumstances in the case. See 47 U.S.C. § 503(b)(2)(E); 47 C.F.R. § 1.80(b)(5)
(listing circumstances and extent of a violation as factors in assessing a forfeiture). The relative duration of a
violation is a critical factor; for example, we generally would propose a substantially higher forfeiture for a violation
lasting nearly a decade than for a violation lasting for two months. In doing so, we avoid creating
perverse incentives and encourage PLMRS and other licensees to monitor their license expiration dates and to
timely seek renewal or otherwise take appropriate steps to quickly come into compliance with FCC rules. See BASF
Corporation, 25 FCC Rcd at 17303, para. 10 (noting that reduced forfeiture amounts applied in past cases do not
appear to be creating sufficient incentives for all PLMRS licensees to comply).
27 See Biennial Regulatory Review – Amendment of Parts 0, 1, 13, 22, 24, 26, 27, 80, 87, 90, 95, 97, and 101 of the
Commission's Rules to Facilitate the Development and Use of the Universal Licensing System in the Wireless
Telecommunications Services, 13 FCC Rcd 21027, 21071, para. 96 (1998) (noting that the renewal reminder letter is
a "convenience to licensees [and] does not in any way absolve licensees from timely filing their renewal
applications"). As a result, Emigrant's assertion that it did not receive the courtesy renewal reminder does not
mitigate its apparent violation. See LOI Response.
28 See supra note 12 and accompanying text.
29 See, e.g., Profit Enterprises, Inc., Forfeiture Order, 8 FCC Rcd 2846, 2846, para. 5 (1993) (denying the mitigation
claim of a manufacturer/distributor who thought that the equipment certification and marketing requirements were
inapplicable, stating that its "prior knowledge or understanding of the law is unnecessary to a determination of
whether a violation existed … ignorance of the law is [not] a mitigating factor"); Lakewood Broad. Serv., Inc.,
Memorandum Opinion and Order, 37 FCC 2d 437, 438, para. 6 (1972) (denying a mitigation claim of a broadcast
licensee who asserted an unfamiliarity with the station identification requirements, stating that licensees are
expected "to know and conform their conduct to the requirements of our rules"); Kenneth Paul Harris, Sr., Notice of
Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 15 FCC Rcd 12933, 12935, para. 7 (Enf. Bur. 2000) (denying a mitigation claim
of a broadcast licensee, stating that its ignorance of the law did not excuse the unauthorized transfer of the station);

authority when confronted by a third party with evidence of its expired license. While the record
indicates that it was not Emigrant's own diligence that led to the discovery of the
violation, Emigrant's efforts to come into compliance preceded the Bureau's investigation and the
initiation of enforcement action.30 Based on all the factors and evidence, including the extended duration
of the violation, we propose an aggregate forfeiture of $20,000.

Hello everyone, I see that a lot of people ask for advice on here and are looking for horses and I just thought it would be nice to start an advice thread so people can share their own experiences in buying horses. Personally I have had a lot of bad experiences and a hard time buying my first horse and I know it's easy to get screwed out there.
My advice for buyers:
1. Don't settle (and try not to fall in love) with the first horse you see. Things can go wrong vet checks have to be performed.
2. Always get a vet check and an x-ray, especially if you plan on reselling.
3. Trials are good but a lot of people don't feel comfortable letting there horse out, ride the horse and spend as much time as possible before making your final decision.
4. Search within your price range.
5. Always bring a trainer or someone who knows more than you do. They can be an extra set of eyes and an objective third party. A horse may not be visibly lame or drugged to you but a good trainer can tell.
6. If the horses legs are obviously not clean from looking at them/feeling don't waste your money of a vet check.
My advice for sellers:
1. Don't get your hopes up about everyone who calls you, they probably aren't going to be the people that buy your horse. A lot of them will be not that serious and/or they don't like your horse.
2. Trials are a bad idea and if you do let your horse out on trial make sure there is a contract (make the contract out as if it were a two week lease), you break it you buy it and if they don't buy your horse have them pay you for the two weeks that they were riding him/her.
3. Your not going to like a lot of the people who try to buy your horse, hell you might even down right hate some of them (been there), but professional and detached is always the way to go. The more professional you are the more serious you will be taken.
4. Be firm with your price. If you've been told by a trainer or someone who knows the market that your horse is worth 12k do not take less than 10k. Don't let anyone convince you that your horses faults make up for however many thousands. A buyer who knows that they've got a good deal will come along.
5. It's all about advertising and getting your horse out there Horsequest.com is the best place to go for online but other than that just make sure that all of the trainers you know know that the horse is up for sale. And try to find other ways to market.
6. Professional truthful ads make all the difference. Spell check, photos are a must it is not hard to take professional looking photos.
7. Focus on the good qualities, talk your horse up as much as possible without being obnoxious.
8. You know what they say, LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION = Florida specifically Wellington and Ocala. I think horses are still selling down there but if you're not there good luck with this economy.
This is ridiculously long and I'll be surprised if anyone reads it! But please share your advice with all the new buyers and/or sellers! Questions are always encouraged.

The Saint Louis Zoo's Ron Goellner Center for Hellbender Conservation and the Missouri Department of Conservation announced on Nov. 30, 2011, that Ozark hellbenders have been bred in captivitya first for either of the two subspecies of hellbender. This decade-long collaboration has yielded 63 baby hellbenders.
The first hellbender hatched on Nov. 15, and currently there are approximately 120 additional eggs that should hatch within the next week. The eggs are maintained in climate- and water quality-controlled trays behind the scenes in the Zoo's Herpetarium. For 45 to 60 days after emerging, the tiny larvae will retain their yolk sack for nutrients and move very little as they continue their development. As the larvae continue to grow, they will develop legs and eventually lose their external gills by the time they reach 1.5 to 2 years of age. At sexual maturity, at 5 to 8 years of age, adult lengths can approach two feet. Both parents are wild bred: the male has been at the Zoo for the past two years and the female arrived this past September.
Rivers in south-central Missouri and adjacent Arkansas once supported up to 8,000 Ozark hellbenders. Today, fewer than 600 exist in the worldso few that the amphibian was added in October 2011 to the federal endangered species list.
Due to these drastic declines, captive propagation became a priority in the long-term recovery of the species. Once the captive-bred larvae are 3 to 8 years old, they can then be released into their natural habitatthe Ozark aquatic ecosystem.
Also known by the colloquial names of "snot otter" and "old lasagna sides," the adult hellbender is one of the largest species of salamanders in North America, with its closest relatives being the giant salamanders of China and Japan, which can reach five feet in length.
With skin that is brown with black splotches, the Ozark hellbender has a slippery, flattened body that moves easily through wa

BWW Review: Kicking at the Hippodrome: Nearly Perfect KINKY BOOTS
by Jack L. B. Gohn - Sep 30, 2015
That you're going to have a wonderful time at Kinky Boots is something I don't have to tell you. If you're a theatergoer with a pulse, you'll have heard about the musical's great success (six Tonys, two-and-a-half years on Broadway). And you'll probably know that it was crafted from a movie that was itself all but a perfect musical, but for the absence of dedicated songs. You'll also know that Kinky Boots' book is by Harvey Fierstein and the songs by Cyndi Lauper. With credentials like that, it would be inconceivable that the result could be other than bliss. All the rest is simply a bunch of details. (more...)

Neil Patrick Harris' BEST TIME EVER Is Really Just More of a Good Time
by Wendi Reichstein - Sep 15, 2015
If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's this: there's very little that Neil Patrick Harris cannot do. Whether it's swinging from a giant Tony Award at Radio City Music Hall, penning a best selling memoir, or suiting up as everyone's favorite eternal bachelor, it's safe to say Mr. Harris is a man of many talents. So when it was announced he would be starring in his own variety hour this fall, there was little doubt he'd be able to pull it off. That being said, there were also expectations. Large expectations. But more on that later. (more...)

Written by James Reach, adapted from the 1955 teleplay by Rod Serling of Twilight Zone fame, PATTERNS, takes an insightful look at corporate politics, examining just how much it takes for an individual to crack in order to succeed financially.

BWW Reviews: MACDEATH by Cindy Brown
by Michael T. Mooney - Feb 2, 2015
Ask a theater lover what kind of music they like, and they will invariable say Sondheim or Andrew Lloyd Webber. Ask what they do for fun, and the answer will usually involve tickets to a play. Anyone who recognizes themselves as 'born in a trunk' will want to add Cindy Brown's new mystery novel, MACDEATH, to their reading list. As the title suggests, the light-hearted mystery thriller takes on the venerable Scottish play and the superstitions surrounding the time-worn tragedy. The book is billed as an 'Ivy Meadows Mystery' - the first of a series. Ivy is something akin to a modern day Nancy Drew - an eager young actress turned sleuth in modern-day Phoenix, Arizona.

Medusa Nouveau by MeganLaraWatch
©2012-2015 MeganLara
Favorited! Great Work!
Waoow. It is really good! I love the archaic-looking of it.
I love the lighting. I can totally imagine poor Medusa waiting in a cave for her next victim.
You make this look easy: your colors are awesome, your sense of how lines work is subtle (those snakes really stand out compared to the symbol/glyph things), and her gaze and pose is menacing even as she's not directly looking at us. Medusa, indeed.
One of my fave pieces of yours.
i love the idea of this, i just wish i could make out the snakes a little more, though i see what you're going for. I'd love to see it as a teeshirt in your noveau graphic style
Such a lovely, natural glow to the skin. Great work!

Alibaba to Start Telecom Services in China
Alibaba, China's biggest e-commerce group, will be launching Chinese telecom services in June. The company received China's first mobile virtual network operating licenses late last year. The exact details of the services will remain under wraps, but it has been reported that Alibaba has coordinated with China's major telecom companies – China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom – to offer the ultimate services to millions of mobile users. Alibaba is actually among 11 companies approved by Chinese regulators to operate virtual network in China.

Alipay Moves Beyond Alibaba with Rakuten
Last week, Rakuten, one of the main e-commerce players in Japan, started accepting Alipay payments, making life much easier for Chinese consumers to take advantage of the Japanese international marketplace.
Rakuten's Japanese marketplace is massive, with 42,000 sellers, while its international one (Rakuten Global) is still relatively small, with about 10,000 sellers. At this moment of time, only about 250 sellers on Rakuten Global accept Alipay, but eventually all Rakuten sellers who ship to China will be accepting Alipay.

The Vatican to go digital
A Japanese IT firm will work in tandem with NTT Data in order to 'digitize' the Vatican Library which was founded in 1451, and contains more than 82000 manuscripts, some of which are 1800 years old. The first round of documents is set to take 4 years, and will only cover 3000 documents. At the speed at which things are being done now it will take more than 100 years to digitize everything. The first sets of documents are set to be online by the end of 2014 and the documents are expected take up 43 quadrillion bytes of storage space, and will be backed up in case files are accidentally deleted or corrupted. The initial 4-year phase is expected to cost around $25 million, but NTT Data are hoping that some of their expenses will be compensated by donations made through the library's website.

M-Commerce in China flies
Mobile commerce, commonly known as M-Commerce is in full swing, and the statistics show it. Sales are set to exceed $51 billion by the end of this year, with an average of 50% growth over the next 2 years, exceeding $115 Billion by 2016. Year on year, M-Commerce has grown 165.4% since 2012, however the trend is expected to slow as the market saturates. 69% of Chinese consumers have purchased a product through their Smartphone's, compared to only 46% in the US. In terms of online mobile platforms, Taobao accounts for 76.1% of the market, and interestingly Amazon only accounts for 0.6%. On the Taobao platform, more than 80% of the purchases are made through Smartphone's, and purchases take on average 67 seconds quicker than PCs. All these stat's go to show just how big the M-Commerce market is, and how quickly it's developing. It will be interesting to watch the rest of the world to see if they will follow this trend.

Weibo's low profile IPO
Sina Weibo – a Chinese micro-blogging website and effectively a hybrid of Facebook and Twitter, listed on the NASDAQ on Friday. Weibo has 143.8 million active users, which is significantly less than twitter's 241 million. Weibo's IPO was relatively subdued and conservative and when the shares actually debuted they were at a mere $16.27. Only 16.8 million of its 20 million shares were subscribed to. After the days close however, the shares were up to $20.24, a 24% increase. Weibo is now valued at $3.4 billion, and will be an interesting share to watch as it marks yet another social media platform going public.

Hayes makes Irish choice
Jake Brown
More wins are starting to mean more momentum for Notre Dame on the recruiting trail.
On the heels of nabbing a commitment from Rivals250 cornerback Cole Luke and shoring up its standing with Rivals100 inside linebacker Alex Anzalone, the Irish have struck for a third time in the Class of 2014 by landing a pledge from Brooklyn (N.Y.) Poly Prep defensive lineman Jay Hayes.
The 6-foot-5, 270-pound prospect confirmed the news to Irish Illustrated in a text message.
Hayes declined scholarship offers from Connecticut, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon, Penn State, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple, UCLA and Wisconsin, among others.
"I'm looking for a place that will get me exposure," Hayes told Irish Illustrated over the summer. "The thing about Notre Dame, they have a contract with NBC. They're on TV every home game. That's a blessing. I think that would be a great place but I haven't visited yet so I don't know if that's the perfect place for me."
Notre Dame has had success recruiting Poly Prep in the past in the form of offensive lineman Eric Olsen, a former four-star prospect. Olsen now plays for the New Orleans Saints.
Hayes joins Speedway (Ind.) wide receiver Justin Brent and Woodberry Forest (Va.) School inside linebacker Greer Martini as commitments for Notre Dame in the Class of 2014.
