OK, then, you're not alone. Here are five pop culture references where an ordinary person finds out they have a rich relative, starting with that particular "Simpsons" episode:
1. "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou": In this 1991 "Simpsons" episode, Homer is told by Abe that he fathered a child before he was born. After tracking him down through an orphanage, Homer discovers his brother is Powell Motors CEO (and Detroit resident) Herb Powell. Disaster ensues when Herb asks Homer to design a car, "The Homer," which is poorly received by automotive critics and leads to Powell Motors' bankruptcy.
2. "Burns Baby Burns": Sticking with the "Simpsons" theme, a later episode showed a drifter (voiced by Rodney Dangerfield) discovering that his father was none other than C. Montgomery Burns. Unfortunately, the son turned out to be more of an nuisance than a warm welcome.
3. "Twins": This horribly bad '80s flick featured Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito finding out they are long-lost fraternal twins created in a lab. While Schwarzenegger's character grew up wealthy, intelligent and athletic, DeVito's character turned into a shady businessman plagued by loan sharks.
4. "The Princess Diaries": Oscar hostess Anne Hathaway made her mark in this film where her character, Mia, discovers she is the daughter of a prince and in line to inherit the throne in a distant European country.
5. The entire premise of the sitcom "Sister, Sister": While shopping at a mall, one Detroit girl bumps into her long-lost twin, and is subsequently invited to move from her humble apartment in the ciy to a home in the suburbs. Let's go regionalism!
Bonus: "My Black Son" from "Family Guy.

text: Seems as though there is going to be plenty of Christmas cheer to go around this season. Wayne Baron, vice president of engineering at Galil , reports that demand for the company's line of motion control products is beginning to pick up. "Over the past two years, we've been seeing customers push things out. In other words, they haven't been taking the part quantities that they said they would," says Baron. "Now, we're actually seeing companies pulling their orders in. They are saying, 'Can I have those parts I committed to for December, and can I have them now?'" Baron is seeing the increase in orders coming primarily from the semiconductor equipment and medical industries. The weird part, he notes, is that the semiconductor industry typically tends to lag other markets. Which makes the future all that more difficult to predict. "My guess is that we are going to see a recovery, but we are not going to return to the insanity of 1999 and 2000. We're expecting the semiconductor industry to increase its order activity anywhere from 25 to 50%," predicts Baron. "With other industries, it's harder to know at this point." One thing Galil does know for sure, though, is that it is getting more difficult to get certain parts. Baron says he's beginning to see shortages already on some products, such as connectors. He should talk to TI's Mike Hastings.

Most of us have been up at 3 am and seen the Trojan "massager" commercial advertising to the ladies. But as New York comedian Mike Cannon says, "women have had a stranglehold on the sex toy market for years." Until one day, a company invented man's best sex toy since the right hand: the Fleshlight, more commonly referred to as a "pocket pussy."
Cannon, along with funny friends Dan Hirshon and Andrew Cunningham, shot a faux commercial (check it out below), in a similar vein to the Tim and Eric vodka movie with Zach Galifianakis, for the male masturbatory aid. They uploaded on Tuesday to Funny Or Die where they were trending most of the day. They even earned a shout out from the official Fleshlight blog and Twitter account (@fleshlight).
This is not the first time Cannon has caught the company's eye. Back in May, he posted a three and a half minute stand-up set on the Fleshlight and Tweeted the video to them (check it out below). They instantly retweeted it and made him the unofficial spokesman for the Fleshlight by putting him at the top of the product's secretly well-followed blog. They even sent him a free Fleshlight (which makes a cameo in the commercial). "They sent me the Stamina Package, as if to say, 'This is also for your girlfriend,'" said Cannon. In the litigious society that we live in today, where brand managers and companies take themselves way too seriously, it is a relief to see a product able to laugh at itself.
There may be more commercials in the works, so if you're not sold on the Fleshlight after watching this video, stay tuned, since after finally using one Cannon said, "I believe these should be required for boys in high school."

With Steve Stripling promoted to head coach for Central Michigan's upcoming bowl game against Troy, I thought I would re-feature this article which provides a brief introduction to coach Strip. I was most impressed with Stripling's talent as a recruiter back in February. By all accounts coach Strip is on the short list to be CMU's new head coach.
The biggest recruit to sign a contract with Central Michigan Football in 2009 is a little older than some of our other signees.
As for his weight, height, 40 time, and bench press, I can only speculate that he is a step or two slower than his competition.
I could be wrong.
No newcomer in 2009 will have a bigger impact on the success and future of CMU's football program than associate head coach Steve Stripling.
His pit bull recruiting style and stellar track record as a defensive coach should contribute that extra "W" or two that pushes CMU into the top 25.
Steve Stripling has recruited all over the United States.
A recruiting coach at North Carolina (1979) and a recruiting coordinator for Glen Mason at Minnesota (1997-2000), coaches have trusted Stripling to locate and sign the bulk of their talent.
Most of Stripling's expereince is in the Mid-west. Stripling has 23 combined years experience as a coach in the Big 10. So don't expect Stripling to be a stranger to our recruiting hot beds of Indiana, Michigan and Ohio.
With stints at Michigan State (2003 -2005) and Michigan (2006 - 2007) his ties to high school coaches in Michigan are especially strong.
The following is a list of recruits that Stripling was directly responsible for at his last job at the University of Michigan from 2006 to 2007.
Steve Stripling Recruits (2007)
Ryan Van Bergen (Whitehall, MI) - A four star recruit according to Rivals. Stripling beat out Michigan State, Northwestern, Indiana and Purdue for Ryan's services.
Ryan Van Bergen was not only a highly touted recruit but he was also a recruit who panned out. Van Bergen worked his way up to second on the 2008 Michigan depth chart at defensive end, recording 15 tackles as a red shirt freshman.
Austin Panter (JUCO KS) - Austin was rated the 18th best JUCO prospect in the nation in 2007. Steve Stripling beat out Minnesota for his services, but he was highly recruited by many programs.
Austin was a linebacker who finished up his career at Michigan in 2008. He played well, getting plenty of minutes in 2008 including the start against Ohio State.
Mark Huyge (Grand Rapids, MI) -- CMU fans who follow recruiting closely will remember Mark Huyge. He was all set to be a Chippewa until notions of the "Big House" materialized and he went Blue.
While Mark hasn't seen the field yet, it is good to have Steve working FOR US and not working against us.
Steve Stripling Recruits (2006)
John Ferrara (Staten Island, NY) --The 7th best overall player in the state of New York in 2006, John Ferrara had over 12 offers from the likes of Penn State, Ole Miss, and Michigan State. Ferrara is another testament of Steve Stripling recruiting ability out of state. While it is pretty effortless to get in-state-kids to play for U of M, it's a completely different animal to get a kid from New York City to come to the Midwest.
John Ferrara is no slouch either and reflects Stripling's eye for talent. Second on the depth chart in 2008, John will be staring at guard this fall.
Jason Kates (Harrisburg, PA) -- Ok, maybe Jason Kates never panned out at Michigan, but in 2006, he was recruited by EVERYBODY. Kates had offers from Florida State, Notre Dame, Penn State, Michigan State and Maryland just to name a few. Jason Kates is proof that Stripling could go to battle with some of the nations best recruiters and come out on top.
New York Connection
In addition to signees John Ferrara (New York) and John Kates (Pennsylvania) Coach Stripling is very comfortable in the Northeast offering scholarships to both high school and military academy players while at Michigan:
Jason Adjepong (Carteret, NJ)
Franchot Allen (New Berlin, NY)
McKenzie Mathews (Syracuse, NY)
Eric Olsen (Brooklyn, NY)
Antwine Perez (Camden, NJ)
Marques Slocum (New Berlin, NY)
More Valuable That Stripling
Perhaps the only thing more valuable than Steve Stripling, is his rolodex which contains over thirty years of high school coaches and contacts.
In fact, there is a good chance that as you read this article Steve is on the phone, talking football, talking life, and telling the next great CMU football player why he should wear the maroon and gold.
Welcome to the next level CMU football fans.

Results tagged ' Vernon Wells '
Toronto did what now?
I thought Jayson Werth's $126 million contract with the Nationals was going to be the shock of the offseason. That was until Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos' latest coup.
On Friday, the Blue Jays convinced the Angels to take outfielder Vernon Wells and the $86 million he's owed through the 2014 season. Toronto netted Mike Napoli and Juan Rivera and did not send a single penny to L.A. as part of the deal.
Given Wells' recent history of injury and performance, and the fact that he was set to earn $23 million in 2011 and $21 million in each of the following three campaigns, it was believed that his contract was unmovable. No one was going to agree to take on a mammoth deal for a player that was not performing as one of the game's elite stars in recent seasons.
Well, turns out we were all wrong. Anthopoulos found a taker and suddenly anything seemed possible. Maybe this deal meant other big contracts weren't the immovable objects we thought they were. Take the Indians, for example. Could the Wells trade mean there could be hope for Cleveland to find a taker for Travis Hafner?
Wells has a strong bounceback year in 2010 (.273 with 31 homers and 88 RBIs), but it was his best showing since his incredible 2006. That year, he hit .303 with 32 homers and 106 RBIs, posting a 6.7 WAR and .899 OPS in the process. In the four years since, he's averaged a 1.9 WAR, and a .770 OPS while battling injuries and other issues.
Hafner last put up an eye-popping performance in '06, when he hit .308 with 42 homers, 117 RBIs and a 1.097 OPS. He posted a 5.9 WAR that year. In the four years since then, Pronk has also battled injuries and consistency at the plate, putting up a 5.5 WAR overall (1.4 on average) with a .803 OPS.
Similar, yes. But hardly the same.
"DH — very different," said one rival general manager.
Wells is a center fielder by trade, but can easily shift to a corner outfield spot or spend some time as a designated hitter. Hafner is limited as a pure DH, really only giving the Indians 13 potential trade partners. That list is obviously smaller when considering how many teams already have a clear-cut DH in the fold for the next season or two. Beyond that, Hafner has a limited no-trade clause, so he could possibly nix a deal to another team.
Another difference is the fact that Wells 2007-10 performance, while diminished, came between ages 28-31. Hafner heads into 2011 as a 33-year-old DH. The market for an aging DH with that recent history — plus owed salaries of $13 million in each of 2011-12 with another $13 million, or a $2.75 million buyout, for 2013 — would be small.
So while I'd expect the Indians to be open to trading Hafner, especially in the midst of a rebuilding period, I wouldn't expect him to be dealt. What I would expect is for Cleveland to continue to hold out hope that Hafner can bounce back and avoid the disabled list. Pronk is still being counted on as a big part of the Tribe's offense for the next two years.
TRIBE EYEING CANTU? Free-agent third baseman Jorge Cantu told the Houston Astros Examiner on Saturday that the Padres, Braves and Indians were among the teams considering his services for the upcoming season. On Monday, reports indicated that the Padres might be the front-runner to sign him, while the Braves' interest has cooled. Messages left with Cantu's agent were not immediately returned. When reached via e-mail, Indians GM Chris Antonetti declined to comment on Cantu specifically, but said the club continues to look at infielders and starting pitchers that the team feels would improve upon the in-house alternatives.
UPDATE: 11:16 p.m. ET — Online reports tonight are indicating that Cantu has signed with San Diego. So there goes that. Carry on…

Reviews for Chicken and Red Potatoes
"This sounds really good, but the sodium is way too high. I believe the soup is the culprit. I wish there was something else that I could replace it with."
"My family really enjoyed this dish. I followed the recipe except I used pork and didn't have chicken seasoning so I used McCormick grill mates Montreal chicken seasoning and it was good. I was able to find the onion soup and it was delicious. Because I work, my slow cooker gets left on a little longer, I had it on low the whole time for about 7 hours and it was fall apart tender, so flavorful. If yours comes out blah then you missed something... Must try!"
"This is a great recipe. I get poblano peppers and char and slice them and I use Cream of Mushroom soup. Have made this with chicken and with a roast. Delicious both times. A definite keeper."
"PLEASE-PLEASE read about how baby carrots are made ---if you do so you would never use them in any recipe."
"To me, the whole point of slow cooker recipes is to save time. Just throw everything in and forget it until you're ready to eat. This means recipes that you DON'T have to brown meat or poultry first! How does that save time??? I get so frustrated seeing slow cooker recipes where you have to spend time that you don't have, browning food first."
"Recipe incorrect on cooking time. Should be on high for 4 hours., not low. Flavor however was very good."
"I left out the mushrooms and chiles and it was still delish! Tasted great."
"Loved the flavor of this! Also turns out just as yummy with boneless skinless chicken thighs. Definitely a keeper!"
"I assumed she ment 4 whole green chiles from a can chopped. Had no Mc Cormick's chick. season so used the generic. My potatoes and carrots came out perfectly cooked. taste is great."
"Wonderful surprise with this recipe. It turned out delish. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised as the ingredients are pretty straight forward and we were not sure if this would be a wow or not. Based on the reviews we decided to give it a try. Lucky for our taste buds that this came out so yummy. Will absolutely make this again."

England 3-0 ParaguayFIFA World Cup Finals Round of 1618 June 1986
England were involved in World Cup knockout action on this day 27 years ago, with a West Ham United defender playing his part in securing the Three Lions' place in the Quarter-Finals.
Alvin Martin was selected for his 16th England cap and his first appearance of the tournament after Bobby Robson's side recovered from a 1-0 defeat to Portugal and a 0-0 stalemate against Morocco to beat Poland 3-0 and secure progression from the Group Stage.
England's form was steadily improving, and their second successive 3-0 victory set-up a last-eight meeting with Argentina.
Gary Lineker notched a hat-trick in defeating Poland, and he was on the scoresheet again twice against Paraguay, who also conceded to Peter Beardsley.
Martin moved back out of the team again for the Quarter-Final, with Terry Fenwick taking his place, and two Diego Maradona goals, including his infamous Hand of God effort, brought England's campaign to an end.
Martin, meanwhile, would earn one more cap for his country, in a friendly defeat to Sweden later in 1986.

THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS CLOSED Belleview Biltmore Resort
The world's largest occupied wooden structure.
Offering a quiet, rustic respite, this wooden building is full of passageways and gables. Its floors are a bit uneven in places, but that simply adds to the tremendous sense of history. Little has changed since 1897 except, thank heavens, the plumbing. Retirees, golfers and vacationers wanting to stay in a hotel on the National Register of Historic Places are lured here winter after winter. The property is popular with meeting planners. Despite its age and a few changes of management in recent years, this 245-room property is an oasis away from the hustle of downtown Clearwater. The rooms are comfortable, with big beds and antique or near-antique furniture. There are a few shops and restaurants on the premises. The spa provides an array of pampering, and the golf course is just out the side door. The popular red clay tennis courts are a challenging novelty.

By JULIAN KAPLAN
Enough is enough! That is the tagline of this year's Surgeon General's Report. Acting Surgeon General Dr. Boris Lushniak set goals for the future of tobacco control for the country including a smoking rate of 12 percent by the year 2020, 10 percent by the year 2024, and a smoke-free generation within a generation. The current Staten Island-wide adult smoking rate is 16.5 percent or 58,000 Staten Island residents.
As time goes on, the burden of tobacco is being shouldered by those who are most vulnerable, namely lower socioeconomic communities. This trend has recently hit Staten Island in a big way with the South Shore smoking rate at 14.2 percent, and the North Shore rate at nearly 20 percent.
Going forward, the Staten Island Smoke-Free Partnership will be addressing these areas and working toward our nations long-term goals, but we are at a disadvantage. All of the death, disease and cost caused by tobacco use are entirely preventable by implementing proven strategies. States and localities earn $80 per year per person on tobacco revenue and spend less than $1.50 per year per person on prevention efforts.
If we even the playing field, we can expect to achieve and exceed our goals.
[The writer is Borough Manager, Staten Island Smoke-Free Partnership.]

Valley cities receive, analyze flood maps
NORTH BENDLast week the cities of North Bend and
Snoqualmie received the long-awaited preliminary Flood Insurance Rating
Maps (FIRMs). With the arrival of the documentation _ which delineates
floodways and flood plains within the Upper Snoqualmie Valley - staff
members and engineering consultants for both communities quickly initiated
a review and public comment process.
They're facing a tight holiday deadline; any responses or
questions to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must get in
by the first week of January. That doesn't provide much time for
painstaking review of the maps while gathering citizens' comments.
Of the two major up-Valley communities, North Bend has the
greater task. Two years ago FEMA determined the city needed a restudy
due to past flooding in the Middle and South Fork areas and
decertification of the levees along the South Fork.
For their part, North Bend officials questioned the accuracy of the
existing FIRM.
Without an approved and city-adopted FIRM, North Bend
cannot enroll in the National Flood Insurance Program. Without this program
in place, residents cannot insure their homes and will not be eligible for
assistance or disaster relief in the event of a flood.
FEMA contracted with the Army Corps of Engineers in June 1997
to perform the limited restudy, which covered the South and Middle
Forks but not Ribary, Gardiner and Clough Creeks or other localized areas.
For that reason and others, North Bend's flood management staff _ which
includes City Engineer Clifford Cooper, Associate Planner Debi Heiden,
and engineering consultant Dave Carlton _ have major qualms about the maps.
So do North Bend residents, if the comments heard during last
week's two public meetings are any indication. The first meeting, held
last Wednesday night at Mount Si Lutheran Church, primarily
involved members of the Silver Creek community. The following night's session
at the North Bend Depot saw a turnout of residents from the South Fork area.
Several community members expressed concern or disbelief about
the indicated flood-level figures for their homes and neighborhoods. Said
one woman, "We've lived in our house for 40 years and have never flooded,
even in 1990, and now we're told we're in a floodway?"
"We agree; we're disappointed with this map," responded
Heiden. Heiden added that she hoped North Bend would be able to work
informally with FEMA on making adjustments, thereby precluding a
formal appeal by the city. Heiden stressed the key is to get citizen response,
which can be incorporated in the city's comments to FEMA.
"You need to let the city know what your concerns are, so they
can be addressed," added Carlton. "I strongly encourage you get your
comments in by the end of the week, or next week at the latest. We want
to make sure all of your concerns are addressed."
According to Community Services Director Larry Stockton, any
resident who feels the elevation data for their property is in error must provide
some sort of engineering documentation as a counter to FEMA's figures.
City Engineer Cooper told the attendees they could call a surveyor in order
to get a more accurate representation of their property.
Carlton pointed out the maps were developed from aerial
photographs taken in 1995.
"Hydrologic analysis by the Corps of Engineers provides the
numbers," he continued. "Our models aren't
perfect. They're based on an evaluation of previous rainfalls, and then
we model where the water is going to go and how high it's going to get."
He also stressed the models did not take into account streets, culverts or
other obstructions.
"It could be better," said Carlton of the process.
The situation is somewhat different downstream in Snoqualmie, but
a few items raised some warning flags nevertheless.
"We were not concerned about the remapping when it started out,"
commented Rhonda Montgomery of the city staff. "Snoqualmie was not
included in the review as part of the study, so we didn't concern
ourselves with it. However, when the maps came out, we learned the flood levels rose
a foot. What we've done is contact Phil Rozeboom of Northwest
Hydraulic Consultants _ our hydrologist _ and asked him to find out why.
"We're in the process of reviewing it," Montgomery concluded,
"and decide if we're going to appeal or not. However, North Bend is
definitely worse off than we are."
With time growing short, the two cities' staffs are already
compiling data, questions and information for the response to FEMA. Again,
Heiden stresses the importance of input from individual homeowners who take
issue with the map.
"Hopefully, we'll be able to get everyone together _ from North
Bend, Snoqualmie, FEMA, and other parties _ for an informal session where we
can discuss the map," she stated Monday. "The main thing is, everyone who
disagrees with the map or has a question needs to contact us soon. The
deadline for the city's response to FEMA is January 5th."
Any resident who has questions or desires to submit an appeal letter
for their property is urged to contact either Heiden or Cooper of the
Community Services Department at (425) 888-5633.

Gary Gresl, Living in a Material World
Typically, artists will do almost anything to keep making art. Take Chuck Close, the internationally recognized portrait painter who suffered a spinal blood clot at 49. As a quadriplegic, he developed a system to hold a paintbrush between his teeth to continue painting.
So there was more than one gasp when one of Milwaukee's finest artists, Gary John Gresl, stated that his solo show at Mount Mary College would likely be the last significant gallery show. It was not a cry for attention. Gresl is a humble man who has done much to bring recognition to other artists. He helped enlarge and improve the century-old organization now called Wisconsin Visual Artists and he collaborated with Tom Lidtke from the Museum of Wisconsin Art and others to inaugurate the Wisconsin Visual Art Lifetime Achievement Awards. »Read Full Blog Post
Actor John C. Reilly brings character to concert at Miller Caves
The Miller Caves, underneath the brewery that not only made Milwaukee famous but also helped define the city itself, apparently never seemed, until Sunday night, like a place to hold a concert.
In retrospect, after the very first such event courtesy of John C. Reilly and Friends, the historic location was a small club waiting to happen: The painted backdrop of cavorting (presumably) Germans had retro style, as did the overhead lamps and the high-arched ceiling. »Read Full Article(4)

Take a seat
Milwaukee's historic house museums are offering patrons a seat at their annual fundraising event Wednesday. And, afterward — guests can take the chairs with them. The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and the Charles Allis Art Museum have been blessed with chairs — or artistic riffs on chairs — created by local artists for this auction at 6 p.m. at the Villa Terrace. The seats range from an old easy chair dressed as a cozy grandmother to a pew made from doors to a partial-chair that's now totally sculptural. Other seats for auction are ones at theatrical productions, sporting events or a table in a local fine dining establishment. The evening also features live music, hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Tickets are $25. Making a reservation would be appreciated and can be done by calling Ann Steinbach at (414) 278-8295 Ext. 5, but it isn't mandatory.

2015 NFL Draft Prospects You Need To Know: Small Schools
When I watched the receivers work at the Combine back in February, there were four guys I thought helped themselves as much as anyone: Donte Moncrief tested surprisingly well, displaying more athleticism than I thought he had; Mike Evans gained separation from Kelvin Benjamin and established himself as the best big receiver in the draft; Brandin Cooks was dynamic in everything he did.
And then there was John Brown.
The man with the most ordinary name at the draft's most flamboyant position showed off some extraordinary abilities. He ran the second-fastest 40-yard dash (his 4.34 was one-hundredth of a second slower than Cooks), ran his routes with precision and caught everything thrown his way. By the end of his time in Indianapolis, John Brown had made a name for himself.
Which was not easy to do, considering the unprecedented depth at receiver. And the fact that so few scouts and coaches were familiar with him heading into the Combine. Anyone talking about the receiver from Pittsburgh was referring to Devin Street, not Brown, the receiver from Pittsburg State, located in the southeast corner of Kansas, about two hours from anywhere you've ever heard of.
Brown was too much for most Division II defenses to handle. He led the Gorillas in receiving three straight seasons, caught 34 touchdowns, returned punts and kickoffs. After he lit up the Combine, Brown made the leap from off-the-radar to the third round. Now, it looks like he might supplant Ted Ginn as the Cardinals' starting slot receiver, making him Carson Palmer's third option after Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd.
It happens more often than you think, a prospect from a small school making the big time. Or did you miss the Hall of Fame induction speech this summer given by Kutztown's Andre Reed? I had five small schoolers among the top 100 prospects on my final 2014 Big Board, Brown not among them. All were gone by the middle of the fifth round, with Eastern Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo going in the second and North Dakota State tackle Bill Turner early in the third.
Two dozen or so small school guys are drafted every year, which is about 10 percent of the total draft pool. And there will be a bunch taken again in 2015. So let me introduce you to 10 prospects (listed alphabetically) you might want to follow during the season and look for next February in Indianapolis.
Bryan Bennett, QB, Southeastern Louisiana: Bennett will be a full-time starter for the first time in his college career, having arrived at SELa after backing up Marcus Mariota at Oregon. Based on what we saw of Bennett in Eugene, he can run with the football. It's his development as a passer that every scout will be monitoring this season.
David Johnson, RB, Northern Iowa: With more than 4,300 career all-purpose yards, Johnson shows the versatility as a runner and a receiver that will appeal to NFL offenses -- as will his size (6-foot-3, 229 pounds).
Jake Kumerow, WR, Wisconsin-Whitewater: The son of Eric Kumerow, former first-round pick of the Dolphins, is a big receiver (6-5, 195) who had a sizable impact after transferring from Illinois. He had 77 receptions for 1,331 yards and caught two touchdowns in the Division III championship game. Don't think the NFL doesn't pay attention to D3 receivers; Cecil Shorts and Pierre Garcon have proven that the right guys can make the jump.
Tre McBride, WR, William & Mary: McBride has the size (6-2, 205) to intrigue scouts. He's not had a monster season, but he's proven a capable possession receiver and red zone target for the Tribe. His contributions as a kick returner (27.5 yards per return in 2013) give him another dimension for getting noticed.
Tevin McDonald, DB, Eastern Washington: This will be McDonald's last chance to make a positive impression. He was a two-year starter at UCLA before being dismissed from the team, and his first season at EWU was truncated by a leg injury. He's an active free safety who can cover the deep middle and also shows a willingness to step up in run support, which is what you'd expect from Tim McDonald's son.
De'Ante Saunders, CB, Tennessee State: Saunders started nine games at safety as a true freshman at Florida, in the same secondary as fellow freshmen Loucheiz Purifoy and Marcus Roberson. Off-field troubles forced him to transfer, and he was named to the Ohio Valley Conference all-newcomers team after a solid debut season in 2013. TSU has three defensive backs who will draw attention, to Saunders will have the opportunity to redefine himself in scouts' eyes.
Lynden Trail, OLB, Norfolk State: He has been the MEAC's biggest disruption the last two years, with 29.5 TFL and 14. 5 sacks since transferring from Florida following the 2011 season. He forced five fumbles last year, broke up eight passes, had two interceptions and blocked a couple of kicks, and he led the team with 94 tackles. NFL teams will look at his length (he's listed at 6-7, 250) and will have to decide whether he's a better fit at outside linebacker or defensive end; he's played both at Norfolk State. He may be the most intriguing prospect outside the FBS.
Zach Wagenmann, DE, Montana: He's racked up impressive playmaking numbers (20 career sacks, 29.5 TFL) and will be one of the top pass rushers in the FCS. But at 6-3, 250, he may have to move to linebacker at the next level, where one of the Grizzlies' top tacklers should be comfortable.
Damon Williams, DT, Abilene Christian: With only eight college games under his sizable belt (one at Oklahoma in 2012, seven for ACU in 2013), Williams has one last season to open scouts eyes. They'll be aware of a 6-3, 340-pound defensive tackle (ideal dimensions for an NFL nose). They just need more film they can evaluate.
Zach Zenner, RB, South Dakota State: If back-to-back 2,000-yard seasons didn't say enough about Zenner's productivity, how about this: in 2012, his 13 rushing touchdowns covered an average of nearly 43 yards, and while that per-touchdown average went down in 2013, eight of his 24 rushing touchdowns went for 20 yards or longer.

Results tagged ' Twins '
Nats land prized prospect Wilson Ramos
Buy low, sell high. That's exactly what the Nationals did Thursday night when they traded closer Matt Capps and cash considerations to the Minnesota Twins for catcher Wilson Ramos and left-handed pitcher Joe Testa. The Twins struck out in their pursuit for a starter like Cliff Lee or Roy Oswalt so they turned their attention to the back end of the bullpen. Capps will be the Twins closer. The Twins solved a short term problem while the Nats could have a catcher for the future.
The void left by Capps will likely be filled by a closer by committee with Sean Burnett, Tyler Clippard and Drew Storen who collectively have two careers saves. They say if you have two quarterbacks, you don't have one. The same could be said for closers but it might not be long before the Nats settle in on a specific closer.
Ramos is a defensively sound, power-bat backstop and was the Twins best trade chip due to some guy named Joe Mauer. Ramos is regarded as one of baseball's top prospects and entered 2010 rated as the Twins' best power hitter, best defensive catcher and No. 2 prospect according to industry-insider Baseball America.
The soon-to-be 23-year-old (Aug. 10) Ramos has struggled this season batting .241 with 14 doubles, five home runs and 30 RBI in 71 games with Triple-A Rochester. Last season, Ramos' first at the Double-A level, he paced all Twins full-season farmhands in batting average (.317), threw out 42 percent of would-be basestealers and was subsequently named the Eastern League's No. 8 prospect.
Ramos–who stands 6-foot-0, 220 lbs.–made his Big League debut with Minnesota in May and batted .296 (8-for-26) with three doubles and one RBI in seven games. He went 4-for-5 in his Major League debut and followed it up going 3-for-4 the next night.
The Nationals optioned Ramos to Triple-A Syracuse and assigned Testa to Single-A Potomac.
Capps joins a Twins team in the midst of a playoff race–1.5 games behind the White Sox–and enters a division that has required a one game playoff to determine the division champion the past two seasons. He has been lights-out since Strasburg made his debut–probably coincidence more than anything else. Since June 8, Capps is 3-0 and is 8-for-8 in save opportunities with a 1.45 ERA (3 ER/18.2 IP), 13 punch outs and only two walks in 19 games.
In his 10 outings before Strasburg's debut, Capps blew four saves and went 0-2 with a 10.13 ERA (9 ER/ 8.0 IP) and a .467 BAA.
Stephen Strasburg continues to shine
It is still uncertain when Stephen Strasburg will pitch in the Majors but there is little doubt that he seems ready. He made his eighth Minor League start last night–five with Double-A Harrisburg and three with Triple-A Syracuse–and he continued to prove he is ready for The Show. He pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings of three hit ball with two walks and nine strikeouts. He threw over 90 pitches for the first time in the Minors. Strasburg is 6-1 with a 0.89 ERA (4 ER/ 40.1 IP), 49 strikeouts and just 10 walks. He is 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA (0 ER/ 18.1 IP) with 22 strikeouts and four walks in three starts at Syracuse.
Here are a few headlines from last night's start:
Joe Posnanski from Sports Illustrated writes Nats phenom Stephen Strasburg has nothing left in Minors.
"Strasburg almost certainly won't pitch in the Big Leagues until June 4 because the Nationals, understandably, don't want him to be eligible for arbitration in two years. And they wouldn't mind him pitching twice on that early June home stand. Of course, that's not what the Nationals say — they might not even be allowed to say that. Instead, they will say that he still has a few things he could work on. Perhaps his walk to and from the dugout could use a little tightening up. He could improve on the tilt of his baseball cap. Something. Anything. He won't pitch until June 4."
Dave Sheinin from the Washington Post writes as major league debut draws nearer, Washington Nationals prospect Stephen Strasburg shines again
"By the end, Strasburg was as overpowering as he has ever been in the minors, striking out six of the final eight batters he faced — three on curveballs (two of them swinging), two on fastballs and one on a change-up. Red Wings swung at curveballs in the opposite batter's box, fastballs at their eyes and change-ups in the dirt."
Kevin Oklobzija from the Rochester Democrat writes Fans flock to Frontier Field to see Stephen Strasburg.
The large majority of fans bought tickets to see Strasburg, however. "This guy is the real deal," said Andrew Harrison of Rochester. "It's always fun to come to the ballpark but it's always interesting to see a No. 1 draft pick."
Jim Mandelaro from the Rochester Democrat writes Stephen Strasburg as good as advertised.
"Reaching 99 mph four times with an effortless delivery, Strasburg wowed a standing-room-only crowd of 12,590 with a masterful performance Wednesday night at festive Frontier Field."
Shawn Krest from MLB.com writes Strasburg continues Triple-A scoreless streak.
"In the early going, Strasburg wasn't as dominant as in his first two starts for the Chiefs, as he struggled to find the strike zone with consistency. He threw first-pitch balls to his first five batters and had his two highest pitch counts of his brief Triple-A career in the first two innings of the game."

FLINT -- All of the city's code enforcers were laid off this week, raising immediate concern among residents who worry there will be no one to call to tow junk cars and pick up trash.
Resident Regina Baker, who said she once called code enforcement when her neighbors had garbage in their front yard, called it a "vital service." that "we need because some people don't have a concept about being clean."
City officials said residents shouldn't worry, and the city will not start looking like a junkyard. "We'll handle it," said Mayor Don Williamson. "Everyone just needs to be patient and relax."
Resident Matia White said she's noticed neighborhoods where the vacant lots need to be kept up better.
"(Code enforcement) makes the neighborhoods look a lot better," White said.
City Administrator Darryl Buchanan confirmed that all the code enforcers were laid off, though he would not specify how many that is. Councilman Scott Kincaid said there were six code enforcers.
Buchanan said the city's blight problems have improved to the point where they don't need as many employees.
"We don't need that en masse support that we needed before," Buchanan said. "People are not complaining anymore."
He said two other employees will continue to handle code enforcement calls.
"There will be the appropriate referrals, and the debris will be picked up," Buchanan said.
The city laid off about a dozen employees Monday in the building department, which is part of the city's transportation department. It was the second round of layoffs this month.
Williamson also said he would continue to coordinate cleanup efforts, some of which he personally pays for, using volunteers and inmates from the city jail.
"We've cleaned up more blight than anyone ever dreamed we could," Williamson said.
But resident Ray Neal said the effectiveness of the city's new policy will be known only when the weather turns warm.
"In the summertime, that's when we'll really find out," Neal said.

Welcome to the show
Bobby Scales is the third player, 31 or older, since the end of World War II to make his Major League debut as a Cubs player and the first since 1960.
The three…
John Andre: born 1/3/1923, debut 4/16/1955
Freddy Rodriguez: born 4/29/1924, debut 4/18/1958
Al Heist: born 10/5/1927, debut 7/17/1960
According to research by Ed Hartig, six 31-plus year olds made their Major League debuts with the Cubs during the World War II years, including the oldest — Joe Berry, who was 37 when he made his debut in 1942.
Scales started at second base on Tuesday, his first big league game after spending 10 years in the Minor Leagues. It seemed fitting that Scales handled the first play — a ground ball out by the Giants' Fred Lewis.
— Carrie Muskat

Sad, just sad. What is Hendry doing?
With those three, wouldn't that make Scales the fourth?
Congrats to Bobby!
Glad to see his hard work and dedication to a great game, paid off!
How'd that work out for us…?

Port St. Lucie man, woman accused of telling 5-year-old to watch sex act
A 26-year-old man and his girlfriend were arrested Tuesday following accusations the man told a 5-year-old girl to watch him and his girlfriend having sex, according to records obtained Wednesday.
Now there are no charges for this. But the article for some reason mentions that there was a tape of Trader having sex with a 17 year old who was about 7 months pregnant. That video was allegedly made in Dec. 2005. This little girl is 5. Please tell me that wasn't this child's mother.....Just when I think that I have seen the most depraved things a human can do to another human, somebody posts a new story...........
Why is it that when a custodial parent fails to provide for a child it is called neglect and is a criminal matter. But when a non custodial parent fails to provide it is called failure to support and is a civil matter?

BELCHERTOWN – The Board of Selectmen on Monday approved submission of a community development block grant application asking for $889,889 in federal funds to be shared with Granby and Hadley.
The CDBG program gives municipalities money for improving infrastructure, bolstering social service programs and minimizing urban blight.
The Pioneer Valley Planning Commission helps oversee the projects. PVPC community development planner Kelvin Molina is writing the grant and said $459,000 would go to the housing rehabilitation program, which gives homeowners forgivable loans to make certain repairs and upgrades to their properties.
"It's a very successful and popular program" that benefits low- and moderate-income earners, said Molina.
Enough funding would be secured for 17 such projects: 11 in Belchertown, two in Granby and four in Hadley. The loans max out at $35,000 and average $22,500, he said.
If the resident still lives at the property after 15 years, the loan is forgiven.
The money is earmarked for certain goals, such as correcting building code violations, handicapped accessibility modifications and hazardous materials abatement.
The application also asks for $332,889 to make sidewalk improvements at the Belchertown Housing Authority, located at 41 Everett Ave., and the Hadley Housing Authority. Sidewalks and roadways at the Granby Housing Authority would also benefit.
Board chairman Kenneth E. Elstein said he was concerned that $204,500 would fund administrative costs, totaling 23 percent of the grant.
"Is that normal in these kinds of programs? It seems like a lot of money to spend on not benefiting the people who live in these houses," he said to Molina.
Molina explained that the Department of Housing and Community Development caps administrative costs at 30 percent.
"We don't go up that high because our agency's pretty successful with these types of programs," he said.
The board also authorized police Chief Francis Fox to apply for a grant to fund officer and dispatch training programs and allowed the Highway Department to purchase a $28,000 wood chipper that Town Administrator Gary L. Brougham said was crucial for cleanup from the Oct. 29 nor'easter.

Hey Gay Teen Porn Pirates: Got $1900? You Can Avoid Being Outed
After its initial amnesty period expired, Corbin Fisher is offering a second round of freedom — with a 90 percent price hike. In an effort to crack down on sharing its films on BitTorrent, the gay porn studio plans to go after so-far-anonymous web users in court. But first it's offering them a way out, this time with a second amnesty offer that'll cost $1,900; the first amnesty offer cost $1,000 but came with a free one-year membership to the site (and a promise not to prosecute).
Is this an example of Corbin Fisher and attorney Marc Randazza just being nice? Or has Corbin Fisher and its parent company Liberty Media Holdings realized they might have a huge uphill legal battle after being slapped with a motion to dismiss by a New Jersey electrician who says not only did she never download the porn in question, nor has she ever heard of the company, but the case itself is filed in the wrong district.
(The company says it's going after a ton of defendants in the South Florida area.)
No stranger to copyright lawsuits, Corbin Fisher and its BitTorrent project threatens to out closeted gay teens (and adults) by naming them in court documents, a fear that has drawn the ire of privacy advocates and, well, Queerty readers. So for the low, low price of $1,900, gay teens can avoid this little dilemma. Will they take cash?

If they are worried about be outted, maybe they should not have broken the law.Feb 16, 2011 at 10:37 am · @Reply ·
CF/Liberty has a right to protect their IP, but their approach to the situation is naive and counterproductive at best, and dangerous at worst. The people that will be targeted in suits are likely either poor/unemployed people (e.g., students, people still living at home, etc) that aren't a potential source of income for them. In fact, they're alienating potential future customers by engendering ill will, just as the RIAA's campaigns did for them.
And for all the RIAA's efforts–all the lawsuits, all the media attention–what did they accomplish? Enormous negativity for the RIAA/music industry and sympathy for the accused. Do you know what finally put a stop to (the vast majority of) music piracy? Music labels being forced to adapt to the Internet. They were forced to change their business model and embraced iTunes and other micro-transaction paradigms.
CF/Liberty claims to have 40,000 IP addresses logged from bittorrent sharing. Many of those will be in areas where US courts have no jurisdiction, but in any case, no production company on their scale has the resources to litigate 40,000 cases. It's obvious they're hoping for people to take the amnesty or settle out of fear of embarrassment or the fear of past copyright infringement judgments (of which CF/Liberty have no hope of actually *collecting* from an individual, but I digress). Even supposing that that happens, the EFF and various other groups will involve themselves, and, again–CF/Liberty's goals are not met.
If CF/Liberty really wants to put a dent in piracy, lawsuits against individuals aren't the way to do it. Although I'd personally argue that their works proliferating online is, in most cases, nothing more than free advertising among potential future customers, or among people that would never pay for their product, there are several ways to accomplish their stated goals without litigation. Both of the two largest trackers accept personal requests from studios to no longer allow their IP to be seeded on the site. There's a sizable list of forbidden studios, and the site's admins remove torrents from those studios. I'm not sure how hiring media research groups and a law firm became more feasible than sending out a few e-mails, but I suppose that's in their ballpark. And heaven help them if they do, as others have pointed out may happen, out a closeted teenager which leads to a suicide.
Wow … why does Queerty sound like Sarah Palin croaking about "death panels" if liberals got their health care reform through? " Are they being sued by Corbin Fisher for $1900? I want to see how this is actually targeting gay teens – I somehow doubt Corbin FIsher is a teen draw in the first place – I always thought it was for old blokes like me. Ahh, journalism , we miss thee …
Fuck the police! Someone should burn down their homes.
Why arn't they going after the trackers? Get rid of the gay porn trackers and you would greatly reduce the ammount being torrented. Sure, more would pop up, but it would be a while before everyone found another one.
Besides, its the Tube sites that are loosing them money, torrenters are a very small percentage of people savvy enough to do it.
If they really wanted to be nice they would have given out a warning first: stop torrenting our content by X date, anything we find being torrented after that is subject to litigation. It would have been fair to give people a chance to stop. And go after the seeders who are sharing, not the downloaders (thats what the RIAA did).
This 1000 dollar amnesty is just tarted up extortion.
yes kids, it's time to crack passwords and get files from the source, not shitty trackers ;)
Um… Queerty… maybe you wanna do a bit more research when you post stuff like this. That electrician in NJ has nothing to do with the torrent suits. She's accused of hacking in to the CF website and stealing files that way.
You're just gonna ride this "teen suicide" wave all you can, aren't you? Doesn't surprise me, seeing as the first article about it got more attention and traffic than anything else that's been posted here in ages.
But if you're going to run around making such extreme accusations and statements, at least check your facts.
Totally. Clearly Queerty has an agenda here.
I'm just trying to figure out if they're just attention whoring (the last article about this got over 16,000 views so far. Other pieces are lucky to break a few thousand), or just have something against CF?
And again it's worth pointing out that the thing he's linking to about that electrician lady in NJ has nothing to do with the torrent suits. Sheesh, Queerty… follow your own links! And you'll see that was about hacking. Actually it was about precisely the kind of thing some who posted comments on the last article were advocating CF target rather than torrents – users hacking in to their servers to steal videos and then distribute them illegally.
So if you're going to make such extreme accusations and statements as accusing a company of targeting closeted teenagers, at least sort your facts out beforehand?
If they were serious they would make it $100 A $1000?? Now $1900???
How does one inquire anonymously about this? I am guessing if you contact them, they now have your name or IP address and will put you in their cross-hairs unless you pay up. You must be guilty if you inquire…right?
I still think their work should start with the original Subscribers to their content who shared the files in violation of their terms of subscription. Then they should be going after the BitTorrent Servers for knowingly sharing CR material.
Turn off those taps and watch the flow drop to a trickle.
Think about it this, someone robs a bank. Then they release the money into the air. Do you arrest everyone on the street collecting the money they found and charge them as bank robbers and ignore the person who robbed the bank?
CF has a right to protect its material. Go after the initial thieves first. String them up by their wallets.
My 2cents
Actually Tangelo that's precisely what they did, as referenced in the one link about that NJ electrician that Queerty seems to have either misunderstood or not read at all. That lady was accused of hacking in to their site to steal the videos. That whole case was about going after people who hacked in to the site to steal and then distribute the videos.
And from what I can see in other articles about this amnesty deal (that aren't misquoted or misunderstood by Queerty), this case is about people uploading the stuff also. They're not just going after downloaders but people sharing and distributing the stuff. So it is about shutting off those taps, so to speak.
BTW for those unaware, the entire way bittorrents work is that you must upload to really be able to download. If you only download and don't make files also available for upload, you stand a pretty good chance of being cut off from teh torrent or not being able to really access anything. To take advantage of what torrents offer and really be able to download lots of stuff, you also have to let people access files you have and you also have to be sharing loads of stuff.
Torrents don't cater to the occasional, once-in-a-blue-moon downloader who just happens upon a file here and there. They are structured and built to make sure anyone who wants to get anything off of them also have to give, give and give. So anyone accessing stuff is most likely making loads of stuff available, also. Doesn't really help anyone trying to claim they are the least bit innocent in any of this.
If you're running around the torrents violating copyrights and breaking the law, goodness knows how many radar screens you're popping up on. That's the risk you assume. No one's fault but your own.
How exactly is a closeted gay teen supposed to come up with $1900 in two weeks to pay CF off? I can only think of a few, and none of them are legal.
Who's to say there are any gay teens involved in this at all?
Titan has sued torrent users… and so far no gay teenager suicides.
Lucas Entertainment sued gay torrent users… and so far no gay teenager suicides.
Titan's been suing John Does for yeaaaars. Same with Lucas. Same with CF. Whether it's bittorrent users or people uploading to tubes or people uploading and downloading from blogs. There have been lawsuits like this for years, involving anonymous users traced to IPs. And yet… no tidal wave of closeted teen suicides. Not even a stream. Not even a trickle, nor drop. In fact… not a single, solitary one!
Does this involve USA downloaders only?
So it's cool if I get my stolen porn from Rapidshare or Hotfile?
BJ, if they've been doing it for years, it clearly hasn't worked, so they need to try something else. And no one has sued 35,000 people at one time, not even close, so with a much bigger sample size there is a higher chance of there being a vunerable teen or making the wrong parent mad enough to harm their child.
@Kendall: Yes, I checked with your Mom & she says it's OK with her as long as you're getting good grades & flossing regularly :-D …And keep the keyboard from getting, er, gluey.
No kidding it hasn't worked, and if this keeps up never will. More porn extortion cases wrecked by a smart judge quashing subpoenas and severing the Does. CF better have lots of lawyers if it wants to sue 35K people in their proper jurisdictions.
Oh I doubt they'd go after all 35,000 at once. That'd make no sense. I'm sure they'd rather start with the most active offenders, and go from there. Who is to say, though?
What we do know is that there have been prior torrent cases and John Doe cases; prior legal action from CF and other gay companies, none of which as resulted in any suicide.
At least here people do have a chance to avoid litigation in the first place. They never even had that opportunity with previous Titan or Lucas suits.
It all just stinks of Queerty trying to attract traffic and attention. Thus this second post when interest in the first was dying out, and Queerty's continuing to throw out some crazy theory for which they have absolutely no basis.
Pretty shameless on Queerty's fault. If anyone has even put a hint of suicide in anyone's mind here, it's Queerty who complately fabricated the scenario and pulled it out of their ass. All for a little attention. Pretty disgusting.
@Kendall: forget about it, they're already sued by CF, try fileserve or filesonic ;)
@ousslander: Exactly right, sir! This stupid Queerty blog is all interested in screaming "what about teh children!!!!" just like some crazy Michelle Bachman or Sarah Palin type nut.
If you broke the law, and the victim puts out a press release that lets you pay and be done with it, I think you get a good deal.
just stick to streaming. there are so many corbin fisher vids available it makes no sense to download.
I really won't read this blog again, and would suggest to my friends they don't either. Queerty is clearly hoping to inspire someone's death to generate high traffic and that's as appalling a what Fox News does.
You do have to wonder. Their first post about all of this generated loads of traffic for Queerty. At least the tone of it was a bit mellow, though. It was more about suggesting the possibilities – still baseless as they were, but at least it attempted to avoid definitive statements.
But that got Queerty some traffic and attention and thousands more views that most all other posts so what'd they do? Create a new post pretty much blasting out there "teens! teens! teens!" in the title. Pretty transparent, if you ask me. Abandoned any suggestion of objectivity to milk the controversy they created for as much attention as possible.
Ugh, does anyone really download corbin fisher? It's boring and so sterile
Totally absurd comparison. Titan, Lucas etc is completely different content, older guys etc, fetish oriented. Not the clean cut younger 18-24yr olds that teens would be attracted to most. To date, CF hasn't gone after a grouping that would include said teens.
One has to wonder what your true motives are, care to divulge your real stake in this matter?
Why do people continue to believe that these suits actually generate any money for the plaintiffs?
As an attorney, I have to say it costs a great deal of money to file these suits, serve them to all relevant parties, get subpoenas, do initial research, conduct discovery, all on multiple parties and places, etc. You need to invest a great deal of time and money to even initially file a suit. It is FAR more expensive than people off the street realize. While CF was successful in a number of previous suits, all of them were specific to individual plaintiffs, and not related in to this mass action. There is virtually no way to recover money when you are threatening to sue so many people.
Studios resort to the courts because it is one of the only options they have. The chances of success are slim, and they know it. However they'd rather try to do something than do nothing.
That's easy just whore yourself out to CF and let dawson fuck you raw and creampie you!!
Hardly true. Just look at Lucas Entertainment's models:
At least half those guys are totally interchangeable with CF's models.
My motives? Pointing out the absurdity and hypocrisy being exhibited not only by Queerty but by many people posting here. I pay for my porn and other digital content, and am sick of people who seem to think that anything online is free for the taking. I also think it's BS that Queerty is making such outlandish allegations and genuinely think they're just whoring about for attention.
Also? I kind of enjoy going against the trend on discussions like this. Some echo chamber comments section where everyone agrees is boring. Opposing opinions make things more interesting, in my opinion.
The degree to which people are not only willing, but wholly eager to make silly assumptions just bugs me. Queerty is assuming there are a buncha teens set to get sucked up in to this. You're assuming CF's particular audience just makes that more likely. Neither of you have any facts to back any of that up. Just assumptions. So, you should be called out on baseless assumptions, as should Queerty.
What we do know – as fact – is that there have been gay porn torrent suits before, and no one has offed themselves as a result. Queerty likes to suggest that torrents are overwhelmed with teenage, closeted users who will kill themselves… and yet no torrent suit has resulted in a suicide. When that fact is exposed, you now conveniently suggest it comes down to the audience each site/company has – with no evidence to back that up. Just blind assumption.
So, my assumption? Queerty is shameless trolling for traffic and attention. :)
You're far more intimately involved in this than just wanting to go against the trend, you're really not fooling anyone, so stop trying. Ever since the teen issue has emerged you've filled up the comment sections on many articles on many websites with propaganda for "Corbin Fisher" No one argues so hard and so long for something they have no significant stake in. You should come clean.
Just dispatched to CF on their site:
"My membership comes up for renewal the end of this month. Thanks to now a growing number of entries on various gay oriented blogs, I have learned of your outrageous and thoughtless policy of blackmail that is now seriously impacting the lives of many gay, closeted men. Men who are being served by your counsel that is also concurrent with your vile offer of "amnesty" (read: blackmail).
There will be significant repercussions as a result of your disgusting campaign – including the possibility of suicide death(s) of some of these men who will be outed by your company. I bet you can't wait for the publicity over that, can you?
Corbin, go to hell; you will never get another dollar of my money. You are a traitor to the gay community and a truly despicable and heartless individual."
I suggest other members take the same action.
Good for you, Dave! I wish I was a member so I could cancel in a similar manner. I've even tried my friends, but none are CF members (apparently some of the models are loudly homophobic?) All I was able to do is let them know I never, ever will become a member because of this, but yours carries much more punch!
What do you suggest the motivations are of others who are commenting on this issue as well, on the opposite side of me? Apparently they must have an agenda, too? My suggestion would be their agenda is to absolve themselves for any responsibility for their own illegal actions and suggest that if some unlikely suicide results from this, it's not their copyright-violating selves who contributed to it by providing porn to minors. :)
I have no problem with them suing people for stealing their stuff. I do have a problem with this blatant attempt at blackmail: "Give us $1900 or we'll tell everyone you watch gay porn". Mr. Randazza should be disbarred.
See, that's reasonable. If you don't like a product or company, don't give em your money. Don't purchase their products. You had been a paying, legal member. How choose not to be any more. That's what a reasonable person does.
The silly ones who say, "Oh, I hate em… so I steal from em" or "Oh I steal… but it's because I can!" are the irrational ones.
But hey, Burgle, if you wanna go with the ad hominem attacks and question solely my motivations, feel free to! It's a convenient way to avoid having to address any of the actual issues, points or topics at hand! :)
Hey you're more than welcome to just try and attack me personally, while not addressing or avoiding any of the real issues at hand.
What are Queerty's motivations? Fabricating some scandal to attract attention and traffic and increase advertising revenues? Personally, I believe so. But I've clearly chosen to discuss the issue at hand, rather than say nothing more than, "Queerty has an agenda!!!".
I personally feel Queerty is performing a considerable disservice by trivializing the issue of gay teen suicide. Attempting to blame a porn company over a suicide is shameless and silly.
Any young teenager the least bit willing to consider suicide must have countless conditions in place to have led them to that option. Their home environment is likely unsupportive, and even hostile; they are being rejected by peers; they don't have a reliable support structure; the community in which they live, social services, teachers, mental health professionals, physicians and all manner of people along the way may have failed to recognize a vulnerable individual; they're in pain and afraid. Look at the statistics freely available online – 90% of those who commit suicide have a diagnosable mental health problem, and up to 75% had a physical illness when they committed suicide.
"A number of factors are associated with the risk of suicide including: mental illness, drug addiction, and socio-economic factors. While external circumstances, such as a traumatic event, may trigger suicide it does not seem to be an independent cause."
So… again… "While external circumstances, such as a traumatic event, may trigger suicide it does not seem to be an independent cause." Does not seem to be an independent cause.
In other words, other causes and symptoms needed to be in place beforehand. As some choose to sit here and say a porn company lawsuit would be responsible for a death, they're ignoring the roles of countless other factors, and ignoring the actual causes and conditions that result in suicide. It is a great disservice to genuine attempts to prevent gay teen suicide, or teen suicide in general.
@BJ: Seriously, shut up. You are either a CF troll or a heartless bastard. I am a teen and do not have the means to pay anyone $1,900, much less a disgusting lawyer representing a porn peddler. This has me worried sick, and if I do get caught and my parents find out, I will be in DEEP trouble. I'm not suicidal, but something this serious will definitely ruin me, so there's no telling what I may be driven to do. To say that there's no one else out there like me that could be swept up in this is just a lie. I suspect there are hundreds or thousands of others at risk that aren't even aware any of this is happening.
@YH: He doesn't seem like a troll from the website, if only because I imagine someone from the website wouldn't be arguing a line that amounts to, "Most teens are gonna be fine, and if this pushes a few over the edge, they probably would have killed themselves anyway." Not persuasive enough to be the company line, IMO.
No, more likely this is a CF subscriber trying to rationalize his way out of the fact that his dollars are having a direct and devastating impact on kids like you. This campaign is inflicting emotional terror by basically giving you no way out. If CF were to come out and say, "If we catch you torrenting from this day forward, we are going to out you and destroy your life," then at least you can change your behavior and seek redemption. But by placing an impossible hurdle like $2000 in front of it, this campaign essentially says, "You have no way out; brace for impact."
(having trouble posting so trying a different nickname)
@YH… my suggestion would be to contact CF's amnesty email address and explain your situation. If they say "Screw you, we're doomed" please do let us know. It'd certainly alter my opinion on things here. But if they're understanding and accommodating, you're then free of the anxiety. I'd also suggest not downloading gay porn from torrents. I don't say that to sound snarky or mean, but simply because if you feel getting in trouble with your parents is too much to risk, stealing vids of torrents only opens you up to that possibility.
@GtP… my posts here simple come from a disagreement with – and being disgusted by – Queerty's premise. In a sense, you're right in your characterization of my opinion. I honestly feel there is no chance whatsoever this will result in a suicide.
Take YH for instance – a teenager who is freaked out, yet not suicidal. Individual events to not cause suicide independent of other factors. At most, they may trigger an attempt in someone already predisposed to a suicide attempt, but those preexisting conditions need to be there.
CF claims to have 35,000 IP addresses. At every step of the way, we whittle that number down and sometimes slash it. Some are probably bogus IP addresses or can't be traced to anyone (maybe someone downloaded while at Starbucks or on a public IP? Or used masking techniques?). Many, I'm sure, belong to out-of-the-closet adults. Many are probably different IP addresses, but for the same person (perhaps they connected in several different places while traveling or in and around town). I'd imagine most belong to legal adults.
If any remain to belong to teenagers, certainly many would belong to teenagers who are not the least bit suicidal, or even closeted. Believe it or not, many gay teenagers are out of the closet, open about their sexuality, and quite well-adjusted, happy, and secure emotionally. For them, this would pose no more risk than stealing the family car late at night or getting busted for drinking underage or driving without their seatbelt buckled – caught breaking the law, which sucks and costs their parents money and will result in some discipline, but is by no means the end of the world nor interpreted as such. Even many closeted teenagers won't suffer terribly. I don't want to minimize what a closeted teenager goes through, but in my own experience I remember being totally freaked out at the prospect of being outed when I was in high school. When it finally happened, it turned out my family and friends were all very supportive. Anecdotal, for sure, but I'm certain my experience is not one-of-a-kind.
So as we chip away at those 35,000 IP addresses and eliminate all of ones that don't involve, in the least, a closeted teenager at risk of attempting or committing suicide, I'm confident we'r left with a big, fat, ZERO.
And I don't take suicide lightly. But being adamant about doing all one can to prevent it from happening should involve taking it seriously enough to not want the issue to be used to serve unrelated agendas, misrepresented, or trivialized.
Check out Queerty's Jan 24 2011 post about mistakenly attributing the death of a gay teenager to suicide.
In that post, Queerty's writer says:
"Is the queer press so desperate for youthful victims in this "It Gets Better" age that we're willing to make a martyr out a dead gay teen without first confirming how he actually died?"
"Reporting such misinformation discredit the gay blogosphere and set us up for being accused of using dead kids to score political points—truly a massive fail on our parts."
It would be nice of Queerty followed its own advice, and acknowledged it is just as capable of the hypocrisy it accused others of. That was less than 3 weeks before these posts by Queerty here. And yet, here, Queerty attempts to create martyrs where not exist, and use the prospect of gay kids to try and make a sensationalist argument about something totally unrelated. While Queerty would bash others in the blogosphere and the queer press for playing the dead kid card, Queerty does precisely that here. In fact, it not only plays the dead kid card, but fabricated it out of thin air.
Teen suicide is far too serious an issue for it to just be used to create some provocative blog post or stir up a little controversy. Especially when Queerty does not have the information to back up the claims, is not able to confirm anything, and has offered no evidence, proof, statistics or worthwhile information to suggest their speculation is the least bit justified.
@dave02657 and @YH – Really? you guys really believe this? Let's look at basic economics. Outing people to drive them to suicide would be bad for any business. Porn is a business. What does Corbin Fisher have to gain from that? They are suing thieves. Queerty is trying to make a (totally false) argument that all torrent thieves are young, closeted teens who will kill themselves if outed. It's disgusting.
The fear-mongering Queerty is provoking with these suppositions is homophobia, my friends. Queerty is a traitor to the gay agenda it claims to promote. And why? Because sensationalism builds traffic. I wasn't going to read this blog again, but a friend told me about these latest comments, and I felt compelled to respond.
Honestly, people – don't be sheep. If Queerty wants to act like Fox News – treat it as such – with very large grains of salt.
Corbin Fisher's offer of "amnesty," in exchange for cash, reeks of extortion to me, even if it is legal. That any significant number of these 40,000 people are going to be "successfully" sued, or even have to go to court, seems unlikely to me, based on previous cases. CF is just trying to scare some cash out of people.
The solution to this problem is simple. Members of the gay community who think CF's approach is heavy-handed, can simply decide to stop supporting CF in any way. Money talks!
CF is perfectly within their legal right to want to protect their material. But they are completely illogical within this situation.
First of all, 40,000 IPs? How on earth do they expect to pay for that many suits? There is a reason why there is strength in numbers, and this is it. That's why record companies aren't suing illegal downloaders, why movie studios aren't either. There's too many damn people who do download them, and it's impossible to actually sue every single last offender.
Second, a list of IPs won't necessarily identify the offender. If Uncle Rich visited and wanted to get off, he's the one that broke the law but now you have to pay for it because he used your computer? Public places offer free wifi under certain IP addresses, so unless CF plans McDonalds to pay up, their approach of using IPs is, on one level somewhat computer savvy, but on the next level useless.
With these amnesty periods and all of this publicity floating around, I think they're really just hoping to scare people into paying, which actually leads me to believe that what they are doing with these 'amnesty periods' is verging on something like extortion – pay up or we'll harm you? Pay up or we'll bankrupt you? Pay up or we'll out you to your parents? While giving people a chance to redeem themselves, threatening to sue isn't the way to do it.
Like I said, CF is completely within their legal right to want to protect their property. But their approach to this matter is not thought out. They aren't dealing with our expanding digital world. They aren't being realistic about suing these people. I think the most effective way to do this is to not waste time failing to sue 40,000 and instead spend time figuring out ways to better protect their material from being illegally distributed over the internet, because even if they somehow sue all of these offenders this time, you know there will be others in the future who they'll have to go after.
That's my take on this.
corbin fisher and his attorney are douchebag extortionists.
From now on I'll just make sure that I never rent, purchase, or view anything from Corbin Fisher or Liberty Media again. If we all step up and do this, they'll be out of business in less than a year.
Corbin Fisher should've used some form of digital rights management on the videos it sells in order to link particular titles with individual customers thus enabling C.F. to go after those who illegally upload said videos to file sharing sites in the first place.
The fact that Corbin Fisher chose NOT to digitally protect its products – even though it knew they were being uploaded to file sharing sites and then downloaded by closeted gay teens etc – amounts to near-entrapment–especially now that it's been revealed how much money C.F. hopes to make from effectively extorting dough out of terrified, closeted gay teens etc by threatening to out them.
What's more, who's to say that Corbin Fisher didn't upload some of those videos itself in order to further bait a 'honey pot' aimed at harvesting the IP addresses of downloaders?
BTW. How did C.F. get those reported 40,000 IP addresses? Via collusion with file sharing sites?
A prediction:
If Corbin Fisher's de facto entrapment & extortion scheme results in the death of even ONE gay kid then…
http://pastehtml.com/view/1diters.html + http://www.joebaptista.com/attack-tool/index.html x the number of gays world-wide who are OUTRAGED that a gay pornographer has proven to be more toxic to young queers than the Westboro Baptist Church ever was = Corbin Fisher conducting its future dwindling business via mail order.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Smear campaign is deplorable
To the editor:
Recently, voters in the 10th District received a mailer with a poor attempt at a smear campaign by the Citizens Action Group.
On it, photos of Mary Margaret Haugen and a weak Soviet-era leader were placed side by side. My assumption is that Citizens Action Group was equating her with him.
Who are the faces behind the opaque Citizens Action Group? George Weyerhaeuser is one of them. He is directly involved by his membership in The Leadership Council. I would hope that he would know that this inflammatory mailer would invoke in some, the old cold war communist hatred.
What this mailer accomplished was to have the children of ignorant parents harass and torment Mary Margaret's grandchildren. Because of George Weyerhaeuser's torment when he was kidnapped as a child, you would think that he would find the result of this underhanded smear campaign deplorable.

The MSM media would have to resort to faux reporting, outright lies to hurt America in light of the increasing flwo of good news out of Iraq. They would have to make up ugly propaganda against our delicious boys and girls. The media aint fit to lick the military's boots. The hatred of the good for being good. Summabitches.
More Fake Photography in Service to the Anti-War Crowd
The wire service AFP has been one of the more anti-war media entities covering the conflict in Iraq. And if more proof of that is needed, take a look at this picture of an old woman who claims US soldiers fired on her house:
The caption reads:
An elderly Iraqi woman shows two bullets which she says hit her house following an early coalition forces raid in the predominantly Shiite Baghdad suburb of Sadr City. At least 175 people were slaughtered on Tuesday and more than 200 wounded when four suicide truck bombs targeted people from an ancient religious sect in northern Iraq, officials said.(AFP/Wissam al-Okaili)
Those two bullets that supposedly hit the poor old woman's house had never even been fired from a gun! What's more, the caliber of the ammunition does not match any in the US arsenal.
This story was ferreted out by several bloggers including Bob Owens of Confederate Yankee and the milbloggers at Blackfive. And apparently, the photographer has not been above staging his photographs in the past in order to elicit an emotional response about the horrors of war.
AFP has issued a correction - but without saying anything about the old woman (or the photographer) lying that the bullets hit her house. One more example of what blogs can do to keep the MSM honest. And one more example (if any is needed) of the inherent bias of many in the media.
