... breakfast of oats with banana discs cut into it, followed by a strawberry yogurt, followed by a juicy apple for the day that will keep the doctor away. Speaking about doctors, I have previously made a mental note to find a good English speaking doctor, one never knows when one will need one of those, so that was placed on a medium term to-do list.
You will notice that banana has crept into our diet again, I do so love those. Nowadays we buy green bananas on a stalk at ...
Rainy Jeep Day
... and get ready for the jeeps arrival. It was ready for us at 12 on the dot. We signed the relevant paperwork, granted there wasn't much, and the jeep was ours for two whole days. It was bright canary yellow, and had a roof over the cabin, but the back was open. We loaded our backpacks in the back, and set off for petrol. To our misfortune, when we got to the petrol station, it started to downpour! The guys at the station helped us put ...
Thailand - Ko Pangnang
... We went down the valley and found a little village there. We found a little resort at the far end of the beach and went to have some lunch. We both got pad Thai and afterwards our faith was restored in pad Thai. We lay on the beach for most of the afternoon and then went to Amsterdam bar we didn't stay for very long! But went down to the beach instead, bought a few beers and sat on the beach to watch the sun set. Again it was very ...

Scott was straight in the sea like a big kid, he was so funny rolling around in the sand and diving underneath them, I've never known someone to love going in the sea as much as he has on this trip... And he's not usually that big of a sea lover! By 1pm we had drunk four beers each and were feeling pretty tipsy! We held Neissa the baby monkey aswell, animals here are looked after a lot more than India. The monkey was crying for the guy ...
Koh Phangan to Bangkok-Day 86
... bed with nothing packed!! After finally packing we sorted a taxi out, in the hope Cerys would be ok, and went down to wait. She'd text to say she'd been sick even more so we went back to our room after checking out to grab the buckets from last night for her to be sick in! We got on the taxi and started our long journey to Bangkok. It all seemed to go ok, got the boat and then a minivan (which we were separated for) and then the plane. ...

text: Italy's finances are not at risk because of its use of derivatives to hedge debt, according to the Treasury. "There won't be any negative impact on public accounts," Finance Minister Fabrizio Saccomanni said. "These are instruments used to manage interest-rate risk." The Treasury dismissed reports that it could lose billions of euros on derivatives contracts. Meanwhile, Italy's judiciary is looking into the situation.

WaMu Evaluates Hedging Strategy
Washington Mutual's said its mortgage banking unit returned to profitability in the third quarter, largely because of better servicing performance than in the second quarter.
But even as the company benefited from its hedging of mortgage servicing rights, WaMu said it is working to reduce risk in its hedging strategy.
WaMu's MSR performance improved by $601 million from the second quarter due to lower medium-term interest rates and a widening of the spread between mortgage rates and the rates on certain financial instruments used to hedge the MSR risk. In the third quarter, WaMu posted a net MSR cost of $123 million, compared to a net MSR cost of $724 million in the second quarter.
Washington Mutual chairman and CEO Kerry Killinger said in a conference call with investors to discuss third quarter earnings that while the MSR "is a volatile asset," WaMu has been working with its hedging advisor to rely more on mortgage-related hedging instruments and less on interest rate swaps, a move that should reduce "basis risk" but may increase hedging costs.
Mr. Killinger said that WaMu continues to realign its mortgage banking business, consolidating loan servicing and loan production sites while beefing up its retail sales presence within WaMu's banking footprint.
"Our strategy is about more than just taking out cost. It's also about reinventing the way we do business in the mortgage banking segment," Mr. Killinger said. "We are paying closer attention than ever to the product mix.
"The goal is to assure that we are disciplined about originating higher margin product whenever we can."
The company's mortgage banking unit produced $271 million of net income in the third quarter, compared to a loss of $63 million in the second quarter. Improved mortgage servicing performance was a big part of that improvement, company executives said during a conference call.
Total lending volume fell to $61.8 billion in the third quarter, less than half the $131.9 billion in lending volume recorded in the third quarter of last year. Home-equity loan and line of credit volume rose 12% to $10.53 billion in the third quarter of this year. Adjustable-rate loans, including hybrids, accounted for 63% of WaMu's third-quarter mortgage banking loan volume.
While income was down from a year earlier, earnings increased from the second-quarter level, and Mr. Killinger said the company remains comfortable with its previously issued earnings guidance for the full year.
WaMu attributed the decrease from last year's third quarter to lower mortgage refinancing activity and lower gains from the sales of securities this year. However, better performance from mortgage servicing rights and related hedges fueled the improvement from the second quarter.

Relax on a large deck (with a complementary bottle of wine) and enjoy the fantastic views of the Nottely River and distant mountain peaks. Built April 2005, Cedar Chalet is on paved, dead-end road that offers privacy, peace and quiet. Property goes down to the Nottely River 200 feet below the Chalet. The river is great for trout fishing and we have just installed steps all the way to the river. From the deck you have a year around view of distant mountain peaks. At sunset we have seen several Canadian Geese, deer, and turkeys come out or land in a large field across the 75 foot wide river.
All bedrooms have a view of the river with a large sliding glass door in the master bedroom (King bed) that lead onto the deck. The upstairs bedroom (king bed) has its own private deck. The large family room has wall-to-wall glass windows and sliding glass doors that provide a fantastic view without going outside. A stone rock fireplace with gas log is at one end of this room. The dining table can be extended for seating six and two bar stools provide additional seating on the back side of the cabinets.
The Chalet has almost 2300 sq.ft. The basement has a bedroom (double bed) a bathroom, a sitting area with gas log fireplace, a sofa bed a card/game table and a full size pool table and TV. Two single roll-away beds are also available in the basement. A double glass door opens onto the lower deck with a swing. A six person Hot Tub is on this deck with a great view of the river. Thirty feet below lower deck is a fire pit with a panaramic view of river. A sun deck is 20 feet below the fire pit.
Situated between the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forest, this area offers an outdoor paradise. Nearby attractions are Lake Nottley with boat rentals and boat ramp only 5 miles away. Lake Hiwassee is about 12 miles, Anna Ruby Falls, Georgia (three-fourths hour), Appalachian Trail (two-thirds hour), Alpine Village of Helen, Georgia (two hours), Atlanta, Georgia (one-and-one-half hour), and Cherokee Indian Reservation (two hours). A large Flea Market is three miles away. A new golf course 6 miles away. Another course in Murphy is about 10 miles away and has a nice resturant. Two others are 20 miles away.
Keywords: Chalet This is a 2nd home, not just a rental.

Bill & Joyce Clifton purchased this chalet in 2005
Found this wooded lot, cleared it and designed this 3 Bd/Rm house with the best view around. Only 3 other houses around. You can spend several days here without seeing anyone.
3 Bd/Rms and 3 batrrooms on three levels for privacy, with full pool table, card table and hot tub.
Our two families got together for the first time ever and we thourghly enjoyed ourselves and your wonderful home. We loved exploring the area and smimming in the river. You truly have an awesome cabin. Thanks for the memories.
Our family of 8 stayed in BJ's above the river. Beautiful home, well maintained, great views from the decks. Close proximity to lots of outdoor activities for the whole family. We rented a pontoon at Shook's Marina, white water rafting at Paddle Inn, spent a day at a nearby lake in Georgia, The Fields of the Woods, putt putting at Wagon Wheel Adventure Park, and stopped at The Lost Sea Adventures on our way back home to Ohio. We had an amazing time and would say this is a 5 star vacation property. The only downfall was the steps down to the river. There are A LOT! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!
Our second stay at this beautiful Chalet which exceeded our expectations last year and repeated itself again. Distant mountain views and rushing river waters relaxes the soul and mind in this quiet and private setting. Extremely clean, charming mountain décor and well equipped to make one feel at home. The lower level made a great "mancave" for my husband with a big screen TV, game room in rustic furnishing.The Hot tub and fireplace welcomed us home after a day of hard playing one of the many mountain activities conveniently close by. Easy accessed paved roads with driveway/parking perfect for a trailer with our two Harleys. Perfect for motorcycle enthusiasts with endless scenic rides in all directions, including The Tail of the Dragon, Six Gap, Joe Brown. Moonshiner, Wayha and Cherohala Skyway to name a few. Although it was just the two of us, we plan to return with our grown children to share the fantastic fun and beauty this area has to offer!
This is a great cabin centrally located to all the area activities. We went white water rafting, zip lining, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, visited the lakes, hiking, and over to Ruby Falls. The paved roads were nice and the cabin has easy access and good parking. It is very private out back with views of the mountains and of course the river. The kids enjoyed the pool table and ping pong and having a separate TV play area in the basement. They also enjoyed roasting marshmallows over the fire pit. The cabin was very clean and had everything that we needed. The owners are very nice to work with and really take good care of the property. Highly recommended.
Five stars in the maximum VRBO uses so that's what we gave this home. Should be more stars. Fantastic views of the river and you can hear the river flow from the decks, but not so loud to be distracting. It's a long way down the steps to the river, and seems longer coming back up. We stayed at BJ's Over the River in January, actually hoping for snow and colder temperatures. We were lucky enough to get both. When it snowed combined with the wind, it briefly obscured the view of the pasture across the river This is a lovely home that you can tell the owners love as their second home. The photos are accurate, but do not do the home justice. The gas log fireplace in the living room was great, and when the morning temps were in the teens, it warmed the living room up very nicely and quickly. The home was clean upon arrival and there were no maintenance issues during our stay. The living room furniture and the king beds in the 2 master bedrooms were very comfortable. Access to this home is all on good paved roads and near Murphy, NC with shopping, restaurants, and just about everything you need. All our interactions with the owners were very positive.
Excellent view an area, more than pics would say. Thank you to the owner that communique and help us all the time. I will be you constant and rental friends.
Though we live in Murphy, we had a number of guest coming in for motorcycle riding in the mountains. As we all have full size Harleys, we wanted a place with a paved driveway yet close to home, as Murphy is the perfect starting point for great riding. BJ's could not have served our purpose any better. Easy access in and out for the bikes. The house is fantastic, and the view overlooking the river beautiful in the morning mist.All the primary needs for guests are available in the house. Just bring your clothing and food stuffs. We were able to show our guests all the beauties of our area in a wonderful setting. Would highly recommend to anyone, and especially those looking for some great riding.
Dead end paved road with paved driveway. Have the only (private) steps in area that go to river,which is good for fly finshing.

Great City park set in a valley. Staff decorated the park for the fall season. Roads are gravel, but sites are concrete. Most sites need leveling. Utilities worked well. Our sewer connection is well to the back of the site. I needed to use my extension to get to it. The park was near full, but we only saw one other person come home late in the evening and they left early in the morning. So we basically had the park to ourselves. Staff said many of the owners rent through the month of October and November for the fall season to insure a place and then just come for the weekends. Good for us. We would stay again. - PJ's Park and Play

We were in the area for my husband to do business and this was the most convenient campground, about 25 miles off I-75. During the week it was very quiet with limited campers in and out. Staff was friendly. The campground sits in the hollow surrounded by eastern Kentucky hills so quite scenic. Several camping trailers were parked on sites for local weekenders, but everything was mowed with pretty flowers and landscaping and nothing looked "permanent". Concrete pads and new septic was just installed so grassy areas are being renovated. Gravel roads through the campground and one section has sites on paved area, others with grass yards. Horse riding and hiking trails and lake nearby for fishing. The area has pavilions for local gatherings and a pool (we did not evaluate). This is a "country" setting about 5 miles from small town with Walmart. Wi-Fi was good in Site 1 where we were but not accessible further in the campground without a booster. AT&T and Sprint phones worked for talk, but limited on data. The entertainment is nature. We would return. - busyteach

Very beautiful state park with a few trails to walk and simply relax. Pull thru concrete pad was plenty long enough for our 38 ft. coach. Full hook ups close to all sites. We had a very relaxing time with very few visitors. - Dream Coach

We've stayed in several KY state parks and find all to be satisfactory,
none outstanding. $40 bought us a site that is steeply (4 blocks) canted
right to left and down in the back. No dump at site.
No cable, no OTA. Tengo capped at 70kB for $4 a day (yes, Kilobytes).
Nice and quiet, mostly folks from the surrounding area use this.
Has a pool for more money, putt-putt golf for more money...
There is a train in the distance, and no road noise. ATVs roam day and night.
So, nice quiet setting with unlevel sites and charges for everything except
the push button showers and toilets after you pay $40 a day. - 1yrfulltime

We have found the State Parks in Kentucky to be some of the best. This park had a lot of activities available - especially for a family. It was accessible from the highway and close to points of interest. The bathrooms and showers could have been a little bit cleaner but were ok. We would stay here again. - Stan from idaho

As said before, if you are an ATV trail rider, this place is for you. If not, it's only good for an over-night stay if you're going through the area. We used it as the latter. It was a Wednesday afternoon when we stopped; we had no reservations. The park looked mostly empty when we pulled in. The layout is a strip of asphalt between 421 and a creek, with paved sites on either side. Half the sites are creek side, half are on the highway. There is a small restroom/ shower house that we did not use. The office is not marked; I found out it shares the other half of the shower house. We never got a good direction on which site to choose. We had to move sites three times; the last two times were after the office was closed. They had no idea who had what site reserved or when. We moved to the other side along the road; and found that all the water hydrants for all those sites were locked. Thankfully, the ATV riders moved sites so we could move back over by the creek side and have running water. Summary - OK for an overnight stop, you get $20.00 worth. Road is noisy but not too bad if you can get a creek side site. The managers have no idea how to organize sites or reservations, and once they leave for the night, you're on your own, even if the water is locked. - JaredWPhillips

Willie Begley RV Park (locally known as John Asher's Farm) is an ATV trailhead in the Daniel Boone National Forest. For off-road enthusiasts, this campground should be rated a 9. (Anyone else will be disappointed.) Sites are double-wide to park both your camper & 4-wheel toys. A tailgate loading ramp is available, as well as dump station. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Cafe serving breakfast, lunch, dinner & ice cream is on site. Kid's playground also available. The RV park is an asphalt strip wedged between Hwy 421 and a small creek. Sites 1-13 are creek side, sites 14-27 are against the road. Access to ATV trails is up a steep paved road at the entrance. Locally popular, teens & families ride 4-wheelers down Hwy 421 to enter the trail head. Traveling from I-75/London,KY DON'T USE Mapquest/GPS instructions which takes you to Rt 66 and Hwy 421-it's a narrow, 17-mile, brake-grinding endurance course. Instead, stay on Hal Rogers Parkway toward Hazard. Turn right on Rt 118, then right onto 421. Park is only a couple of white-knuckle miles away. - Flying Mantis

As others have said, it really isn't designed for a big rig. Pretty much all back in unless you have a small rig and are one of the first for the pull through sites as the sites make up part of the road. Easiest entry is actually at the light before the hotel and then take the access road. Pull in before the gas station. Else pull in and park as close to the road or at the gas station. It is tight. Restrooms were adequate and clean, but someone thought it was still summer as all the windows were open and no heat on (October 46 degrees in the AM). WiFi is good. Basic cable included. Very, very noisy in the morning with restaurants supply trucks and trash trucks to compliment the road noise. . Really old picnic tables. - TBBGII

For a longer term stay we were assigned a back in site which was high in rear, low in front. When level the rear was almost on the ground. The sewer connection was on a mound and the pipe was a good 6 inches above the ground. I went to the the office and was given a different site. While it was still high in the rear and low in the front, it was better than the first. The sewer, water and electric were at the rear of the site and the sewer was still an elevated pipe.
This wouldn't be our first choice in the area but we were there during the 4th of July and the had space available so grateful to have a place to stay. When parking we were given instructions to drive in front of the closed service station to enter the park. This eliminated the sharp turn mentioned by a previous reviewer. There is truck parking behind the motel and that is a good staging area to park while checking in for a site. - LivinTheDream

This is a small campground located beside the Budget Host Motel. You check into the campground in the front lobby of the motel. The campground is not fancy, but offers full service 50 amp sites and a clean bathhouse facility. As an overnight stopping point it offers easy access to I-75 and there is a small truck stop right across the street that you can refuel at. The campground has four "pull through" sites but due to tight turns into the sites I couldn't get into them with a 40 ft fifth wheel. Fortunately the campground is fairly open in the center and the pull through sites are easy to back into. This is not a campground that I would want to spend a weekend at, but as an easily accessible overnight campground it was a good value for the money. - Greg and Kim

Site C-14, level, a little grass, gravel parking pad, concrete patio, a tad bit close spacing.
Bathroom and showers decent (great shower water pressure), clean. Nice laundry faciltiy
No Air TV, had cell service (AT&T), free wi-fi at the pavilion
This is at Buckhorn Lake dam, so close easy access to lake. Positioned between two creeks, so most spots are on the water, which is very nice. Very nice, well kept grounds. Very nice Hosts. CAUTION - Do not come via Ky2022, like we did. Although pretty, it is a single lane road for 11 miles. If you run in to someone coming the other way, someone has to back up!! Come in from the north via KY28. Although we didn't explore, there are a lot of biking/hiking trails in the area. Nice café/gas station in town. - 48 State Goal

Sites have electric and water. Sites are paved and level from side to side. Some are a little pitched from front to back, but very manageable. The campground was clean and the hosts very accommodating. The grass was a bit long in the middle of the park, but closely trimmed near the RVs. A lovely park, we would camp here again. - jwc47031

Lovely little COE campground well off the beaten path in Buckhorn Kentucky. One small loop of 31 back in sites, all on a creek or river. Side group of 5 tent sites. Black top road and pads with grass and trees in between. All sites have sturdy picnic tables, fire rings and grills. Some sites with good view for satellite reception. Verizon service good. Friendly, helpful hosts. Our rate was with Golden Age pass. We would return. - Wandering Wishnies

Nice park. Like many KOA (and other campgrounds) a bit close to the interstate, but not too noisy. Easy to get our 40 footer in and out even towing our Jeep. Used the laundry, nice and clean. Needed a jump start on our tow vehicle and the staff was quick to help. Also needed to receive and send a fax from the office and, again, very helpful. Would stay again if in the area. - Kurt D

This campground when I called, I asked and was told, their wifi works well. I also asked about if we could get out with our Dish. They said no problem. Never had anybody complain. WELL I AM. Their wifi sucks, can not get on even parked in front of office. Could not get out with Dish...TOO many trees. I think its really sad how we were misled. We were booked for 2 days, asked for our 2nd night refund. After some back and forth bickering, we were finally reimbursed. NEVER again would I book here. - Barbjac425

This is a very confusing park. The road in/out is very narrow. The sites have been squeezed into a small piece of property. Some lots cannot be used since they added the "large upscale pull thru lots". We were in lot 14, which is shared with another coach. Our lot had a large tree that hindered us from opening our back driver side slide. We were told this wouldn't be a problem and we wouldn't have to unhook our car. When we started to leave we had to pull straight to avoid hitting the tree with the back of the coach. Then we couldn't get by a half dead bush. I tried breaking the dead branches off, but that didn't work. So, we had to unhook the car, which was on an angle, back up and start over. Luckily everyone else had left so we had room. I would suggest you never stay on lot 14 in a big rig. Get a lot without a patio that has a straight shot out of the campground. - Merker

We loved this campground set in a very beautiful mountain canyon on the middle fork of the Kentucky River. The staff was great during the 4th of July weekend. This campground is very popular with the locals and was very busy. The only drawback was the roads leading from Hyden, Ky. to the campground. Twenty miles of winding mountain road that needs maintenance. Fortunately not much traffic, but we did have difficulty on the last two miles when we met oncoming traffic. Not really for big rigs, but smaller campers do okay. Did not have WiFi as some sites say and cell service is very poor even in Hyden. We had to go all the way to Hazard to get cell service 40 miles away. The campground host offered the use of the campground's phone if we needed it. If you want to use satellite TV get a site on the water. - JC69

Very nice Corps of Engineers campground on Buckhorn Lake with adjacent boat ramp and recreation area. Hosts were outstanding. Of 40 sites (not counting the host site), 14 have water and electric, the rest are dry/primitive. The road in is 1 1/2 lanes for about 2 miles, with tight curves and some steep hills. Apparently very popular with local fishermen, especially on weekends. Plenty of parking inside the campground for boat trailers. No cell service and very poor TV reception. Would definitely return if we're in the area again. - DB_Engineer

Happy Birthday Betsy!
Well, adult ivies are cool. I remember the first time I ever saw one
- in the UK - had no idea what on earth it was. Now I have my own
way up in trees:-)
I managed to strike a cutting of a branch once and have a small adult

They are as hardy as the cultivar they came from - will be evergreen
unless it's too cold where you are and they defoliate. Flower
clusters are quite neat, really. I've seen pix of some that were
really striking but never that kind in person. The leaf form is what
throws you as it changes totally when the plants mature.

Ah'm Your Huckleberry …
A Spokane woman called the downtown office this week to complain about thousands of stinky, dead fish near the Higgens Point viewing area where she went to see the eagles. The stench was so horrid she had to leave, not getting to enjoy the eagles. She wanted us to do a story about it. So, assistant city editor Dave Wasson called Erica Curless to check into it. Erica tells Huckleberries: "I thought it was odd, especially since the eagles are here to eat the fish, but I called Fish and Game." The woman who answered the phone seemed somewhat amused. Sez she: "That's the whole point! The kokanee die, which attracts the eagles." Duh! Not everyone in the Northwest is familiar with our circle of life.

California School District Keeping an Eye on Students' Social Network Postings

A company called Geo Listening will do the monitoring
A California school district has hired a contractor to
monitor the social networks
of students in hopes of pinpointing suspicious behavior.
The Glendale, California school district is paying $40,500 to the company Geo Listening for the social monitoring services. The firm will read Facebook, Twitter and other social network posts by 14,000 middle school and high school students in the district. It will only apply to students ages 13 and up (when parental permission isn't necessary for the school's new monitoring methods).
Geo Listening's exact methods for monitoring the sites or verifying that the students are, in fact, from the school district are unclear. But the firm said it will only view public posts (students can set their posts to private), and it searches for keywords to find any alarming posts. The firm has also learned the lingo of youths to catch those who may be speaking in code or in shorthand. The school is then given a full report of the company's findings.
The district said it is employing this method in order to ensure the safety of its students. For instance, if a student posts about suicide, a fight or bringing weapons to school, the district wants to know so that an intervention can take place.
It also wants to know when other inappropriate acts are taking place on school grounds, such as drug use and
skipping class
Prior to the $40,000 contract, the school district took part in a pilot test of the monitoring program with Geo Listening. For $5,000, the firm monitored 9,000 students' social networks in the district last spring.
According to the Glendale school district's Superintendent Richard Sheehan, the pilot was successful in countering a possible student suicide. The firm also found that a student posted a picture of a gun, and once investigated, it turned out the gun was fake and the student wasn't disciplined. But Sheehan said the monitoring has proved to be a valuable tool.
"We were able to save a life," said Sheehan. "It's just another avenue to open up a dialogue with parents about safety."
However, many are worried that the students are being spied on. Parents are concerned that their children's privacy is being invaded by the firm's monitoring methods, and are further concerned about how their children will be reprimanded if they post something questionable on a social site (for instance, will the child's parents be called in when something happens? Will this allow students to be punished for merely saying something negative about the school?).
Do you think the monitoring will be effective? And is it spying, or a safety precaution?

Slowly, slowly in the Transat Quebec Saint Malo
by Mer et Media on 25 Jul 2008
Crew work - Transat Quebec St Malo Xavier Dachez / VIQ ©
Light and predominantly light airs. In these conditions the fleet of the 7th Transat Quebec Saint Malo are certainly not going to beat any speed records. With the exception perhaps of the trimaran Crêpes Whaou! which has gained some massive separation and is closing on the archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. As it heads towards the open ocean, the remaining 26 crews in the general ranking are making laborious progress in the waters of Saint Lawrence Bay.
Amongst the multihulls, the deficits are extending, whilst the Class 40s bunched up dramatically at the passage of Percé. Off Gaspésie a new start was heralded at dawn this morning as they make for the banks of Newfoundland 330 miles ahead…
50 foot multihulls: one ahead, the others behind
The fog is back but Crêpes Whaou! continues to lead as it makes it into the Cabot Strait between Cap Breton to the north of Nova Scotia and Cap Ray to the south-west of Newfoundland. At around 1000 UT, Franck-Yves Escoffier's trimaran had given away virtually no ground, the remainder of the fleet caught in the clutches of the calm conditions, stalling as they tried to make the Percé mark. Ahead of their bows, the red tri still has 78 miles to go before they can thread their way between Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. Their closest pursuer, Laiterie de Saint-Malo (Victorien Erussard), is still displaying a deficit of some 120 miles.
"We had light conditions throughout the night. At the moment the wind is picking up a little. We have 17-18 knots and are sailing close to the wind which is set to veer. We are 78 miles from Saint-Pierre et Miquelon and I hope we're going to make it on a single tack", confided the skipper from Saint Malo at today's radio session. He envisaged making the 3 mile corridor between the islands late this afternoon or early evening.
Alone up front, the others behind, the multihull fleet have split wide apart. At the 1300 UT ranking this Thursday, Délirium skippered by Hervé de Carlan had not yet rounded the Percé rock and had racked up a 330 miles deficit on the leader.
Class 40: regrouping and jostling for position…
For the fleet of small 40 foot monohulls it's quite a different story amongst the 17 crews. The context remains the same however, each of them struggling along according to the tempo of the wind, which seems set not to be very generous in its supply of downwind conditions. After experiencing the worst of the light stuff as they tried to round Percé, which the majority of them passed under the cover of darkness (around dawn in Europe or 24 hours after Crêpes Whaou!), the fleet has regrouped thanks the full force of the concertina effects. These were due to the calm conditions and the numerous wind holes, which the frontrunners were unable to avoid. The upshot of this, as the fleet make it into the Saint Lawrence Bay, is a 30 mile separation between the tail of the fleet, Groupe Sefico (Philippe Vallée) and the new leader SAIPEM-Leadership in Safety (Gwenc'hlan Catherine) and L'Esprit du Large-Tamont Saint Hilaire. The latter two are currently midway between the Iles de la Madeleine.
Today's rankings have revealed a complete turnabout with every report and it is clear that the conditions favoured this morning's backrunners who were able to see the pitfalls that lay ahead. As such Novedia Group (Tanguy De Lamotte) came right up through the fleet to pole position ahead of the imperturbable Italian crew skippered by Giovanni Soldini (Télécom Italia), but the duo have both since tumbled 8 miles back from the head of the fleet.
It is certainly proving difficult to see clearly then, and this is not simply down to the fog. Indeed the only certainty is that doubt reigns as a new start seems to have been given at Percé. In any case, the journey to Saint-Pierre and Miquelon remains a very long one. According to Argos at 1500 UT, the first 40 footer is positioned 75 miles to the south of the Iles de la Madeleine and 300 miles from Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. As a result they're going to need two more days to reach the grand banks of Newfoundland if all goes well; the ocean so near and yet so far!
The good news of the day comes from Saint-Malo Team, the large monohull skippered by Denis Douillez and forced to make a stopover in Matane, on the Gaspésie coast to have its mainsail track repaired. After performing the necessary work with the faultless support of the locals, they are ready to head back into the race. The captain writes: "On arriving in Matane yesterday we were a little demoralised as we wondered how on earth we could get the necessary parts over 800 km from Montreal: two metres of track, plus 15 inserts. That was before we considered the kindness of the inhabitants of Matane. In addition we were given fresh supplies of drinks and smalls desserts. We should take to the sea again this evening with the promise that we will return here one day".
Quotes from the Boats:
Meike Schomäker (Beluga Racer):
"Day 3 of our trip. Beluga Racer was making 7.8 knots of boat speed under the moonlight last night as we sail ever further along the Saint Lawrence and get ever nearer to the Atlantic Ocean. We're still about 2-3 days from the open sea though. It really is a special transatlantic regatta, as it's reminiscent of an inshore race initially. Julien has just come up from his warm berth up onto the deck but the night is quiet, contrary to the day. Making 13 knots of speed over the ground in fog can be a little scary when you suddenly hear a warning signal from a passing freighter. Conditions are such that we're having to do a lot of hand steering. Another interesting part of my first Atlantic crossing is the fact that we had to drop anchor briefly at the start as the wind was so gentle in relation to a strong current on the nose. Today the mood onboard is good as we have high hopes. The main thing will be getting out of the river so we're focused on escaping the Saint Lawrence!"
Sam Manuard (Novedia Group):
"It's amazing that we've come back into the match at the head of the fleet; it's really incredible. We lost 10hrs 30 mins through running aground and the adventure proved to be fairly perilous. 2 days on and we've made it right back up through the fleet, which is something we couldn't have dared hope for. It's very odd! We're fairly at ease in terms of speed, but above all we're sailing flat out and aren't taking our foot off the accelerator. We rounded Percé by nightfall and the pierced rock is certainly imposing and strange. We've still got a good way to go from Gaspésie to Saint-Pierre and it's not very wide yet. Between here and Newfoundland we're going to have to tackle a wind shift…"
Giovanni Soldini (Telecom Italia):
"The past 48 hrs have been very difficult and it was hellish in the calm conditions. We were stuck fast, powerless as the others made up the ground on us and then we all got going again together. We're hoping for the wind to establish itself a little more as we've had calm conditions since the start, changing tack and never on a direct course. We're going to need some wind or we'll just get stuck here for a month. We're itching to get into the Atlantic and more stable winds. It's nice to be sailing together. We're trimming and focussing on speed. The E'ly wind looks set to shift round to the SE, E and then S and we've got 10 knots of breeze, which isn't catastrophic. There's fog and humidity but we're doing fine and the pace is sure to pick up."
Halvard Mabire (Pogo Structures):
"We were prepared for a new start to the race from Percé but it would have been good if we'd had a committee boat (laughs). We're all neck and neck and it feels a little as if all the hard work which was done on the way down the Saint Lawrence has been reduced to nothing… We rounded Percé in the early hours (0430 UT) with a full moon and a blanket of stars: it was really very pretty. And here we are back in the mur

The X-Change Files explores the intersections of science and entertainment, regularly taking a look at the ways in which science is portrayed in film and television. Learn More
Superheroes smashing into buildings won't do enough damage. An alien invasion probably won't account for Will Smith saving the day. And robots taking over just feels overdone. So why must we worry about anyone else destroying our planet when we're perfectly capable of doing it ourselves?
"Science, Strategy and Tactics of Naval Warfare" was the title of one of the most recent Exchange events held at The Great Company and moderated by screenwriter Will Staples (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3). Guests fortunate enough to attend were treated to a panel of Navy experts who gave a wildly entertaining crash course on how the way their maritime vessels and state-of-the-art technologies are helping to keep our country safe on a daily basis.
"The Earth is the cradle of the mind—but one cannot eternally live in a cradle." —Tsiolkovsky
While the Russian rocket scientist quoted above may not have lived long enough to witness humans leaving Earth for space, I imagine he would be quite pleased to know not only how far we have come but also just how close we are to finally being able to go where we once only dreamed.
Phrases like "sense of entitlement" and "out of touch with reality" described every prominent person mentioned throughout the night.
Words like "arrogance" and "narcissism" were used repeatedly.
High atop the gorgeous SoHo House last Thursday evening, in a room filled with some of Hollywood's finest and most scientifically-curious minds, a discussion was had about why some of the most famous names in history act the way they do.
However, those referenced weren't quite the characters you might expect.
When everyone took their seats and the lights began to dim, Dr. Mary Ellen O'Toole, formerly a profiler for the FBI, took her place in front of an audience as engaged to a subject matter as I'd ever seen before.
There's a saying that's meant a lot to me for quite some time.
It's nothing new, it doesn't change your life when you hear it and it's not a wise observation on the complexity of life or an enlightening insight into our culture.
It's very simple.
"Anything Is Possible"
I love that saying probably more than any other.
One of the first movies I remember seeing when I was young was Star Wars. I was just a kid but I could still appreciate the enormity of the world Lucas created. Of course I had no clue how he made that world come to life but neither did a lot of people in the room much older than me. Suddenly, space seemed real, it seemed that this might actually be going on in a galaxy far, far away. Space finally seemed possible.

Roxie Cinema
3117 16th Street,
San Francisco,
17 people favorited this theater
Opened in 1912 as the Poppy Theatre by local jeweler Philip H. Doll. During its early years, the theater was also known as the Rex Theatre, Gem Theatre, and Gaiety Theatre.
This small movie house was remodeled in 1932 and reopened as the Roxie Cinema with 300 seats.
Current management started repertory programming in March 1976. Under new leadership of Alan Holt, in 2009, the cinema became a nonprofit oranization, continuing to showcase films.

The great old Roxie Theatre, been to this movie house several times and took my kids there to. A venue to watch S.F. IndyFest, independent and shorts films. It was used by the Film Arts Foundation (FAF) back in the day (fused with another film group), had one of my films I produced and Michael Hankinson directed "Heart of the Warriors" showcased at this theatre. It's small and old but it has a lot of spirit and history to go with it. The little theater that's been around since 1909 and gone through some incredible adventures and now surviving off independent film and a Comedy Club. The Roxie- http://roxie.com/events/toc.cfm
the Roxie (both big & little) are operating and doing very well. During a recent trip to San Francisco (November 2016) I attended three times.
Theatre is now using online ticketing and via Ipad in both houses. This now produces the "Supermarket reciepts" that a past member railed against in the past at a venue.
Being a "community theatre" it offers quite ecletic fare. I attended an evening screening one of the nights of the Transgender Film Festival. This was in the big Roxie. My two visits to the little Roxie were for a Saturday morning cartoon presentation, then later in the week "King Cobra" about gay porn icon Brent Corrigan.
Seating quite comfortable as well as the sightlines. Due to the timing I got to the theaters each night ( darn Mission resturants being crowded) I was unable to get internal photos. If you are in SF or going, check out the calendar and try to make a trip to this hidden city gem. Support local cinema.
The Roxie is one of the few venues that still run film.
Great piece including video of the process of running film there..
I don't know what's worse the supermarket receipt type tickets or the red generic "admit one" type.

Sea, Volume 14A: The Global Coastal Ocean by Allan R. Robinson
Book DescriptionA continuing, comprehensive and timely survey of the state of knowledge of ocean science, this distinguished series provides an overview of research frontiers as ocean science progresses. Areas covered include physical, biological, and chemical oceanography, marine geology, and geophysics and the interactions of the oceans with the atmosphere, the solid earth, and ice. Because ocean science is evolving so rapidly, straining the boundaries of traditional sub-disciplines, interdisciplinary topics have a special place in this series--including those topics related to the application of ocean science, for example, to ocean technology, marine operations, and the resources of the sea. As a treatise on advances and new developments, each topical volume starts with fundamentals and covers recent progress, so as to provide a balanced account of how oceanography is evolving. Previous volumes (1-13) in the series are now available from Harvard University Press. In the manifold, multidisciplinary efforts of science to understand and manage our planet, contemporary ocean science plays an essential role. Volumes 13 and 14 of the series The Sea focus on two of the most important components in the interdisciplinary field of ocean science today--the coastal ocean and its interactions with the deep sea, and coupled physical-biogeochemical and ecosystem dynamics. Comprehensive, definitive studies, these volumes chart the real progress being made by ocean scientists in achieving lasting scientific understanding; specifically, they address issues surrounding significant applications--for coastal regions and in general--such as: the development of monitoring and prediction systems; functionality and stability of ecosystems; eutrophication; harmful algae blooms; habitat modification; and regime shift. Intended as companion volumes to Volumes 10 and 11 on physical coastal oceanography, these studies of the global coastal ocean continue the series' overall effort to encourage and facilitate coastal and shelf ocean sciences and technology on a global basis.

Day 72 - Avignon of Popes and Palaces
... for six French popes over 70 years in the 14th century. There are actually two large palaces or chateaus next to each other with different architectures. Touring the Palais took about ninety minutes after which we left and toured the Pont D'Avignon also known as the bridge of St Benezet. A 13th century bridge that crosses the Rhone River. Although for the last 700 years, the bridge only goes halfway across the river. What happened to the rest remains a mystery.
We returned ...
Day 71 - Provence Provincial
... was a travel day, it also became a laundry day. It took a couple of hours to get caught up but we succeeded. Next it was off to Avignon supermarket for groceries for the week. We returned about 5:00 and settled in for the night. We lit a fire in the fireplace as the temperature in the old stone cottage was a bit cool. The fire, some jazz and some C�te de Rhine wine made for a lovely evening.
Week 25. France.
... But worst of all was the forty something panicky son who spoke English and his even less relaxed Mamar, who loudly berated her son every time he tried to help. We went to bed really looking forward to breakfast. Thursday June 4th Got up and went for breakfast, as per usual we were the last ones there out of the four rooms and everyone else had had theirs. Breakfast was served outside and was okay until the son started clearing away the other peoples plates, apparently he was doing it ...

ProFootballTalk: NFL's reaction to bounty decision
Fred Jackson would like to play again
Running back Fred Jackson didn't play at all during the 2016 season, but he's not ready to officially declare himself retired from professional football.
Jackson said he spoke to a few teams last year and would revisit those conversations in hopes of getting a shot to show that there's still something left in the 36-year-old's tank.
"Playing-wise, I would love to play again," Jackson said, via SiouxlandNews.com. "You know, I'm going to try and see if I could get on a roster again. I'm going to try and see if I can get on a roster this year, training camps and things like that. If I can get into one I'm going to try to spend the next two, three months trying to get on a roster. And you know, if it doesn't happen I'm going to hang my hat on the ten years that I did play."
Jackson played in 16 games for the Seahawks during the 2015 season, gaining 357 yards on offense and scoring two touchdowns after landing in Seattle following his release from the Bills. Jackson ran for 5,646 yards and scored 37 touchdowns over nine seasons in Buffalo. Whether he lands a job for this season or not, he said he'd like to sign a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Bills after spending the bulk of his career in their uniform.
Buccaneers tender Cameron Brate as exclusive rights free agent
The Buccaneers have tendered another one of their exclusive rights free agents.
Wide receiver Adam Humphries headlined a group of four exclusive rights free agents to get tenders from the team on Monday and Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports that tight end Cameron Brate has received one as well. Exclusive rights free agents are bound to their current teams once an offer has been tendered, so all should be back with the team unless they opt for a different line of work.
Brate stepped into the starting tight end job for the Bucs in 2016 and turned in 57 catches for 660 yards and eight touchdowns. Those scores illustrate the chemistry Brate has found as a red zone target for Jameis Winston and it's a role he should continue to play even as the Bucs work to add other pass-catching options for their quarterback this offseason.
Defensive end Howard Jones is the sixth exclusive rights free agent for the Bucs this year. He's played 20 games for the Bucs over the last two seasons.
Bill Polian: Terrell Owens, Randy Moss don't belong in the Hall of Fame
Hall of Fame G.M. Bill Polian doesn't want either Terrell Owens or Randy Moss to join him in Canton.
Asked by Talk of Fame Network whether he'd pick Owens or Moss when both are on the Hall of Fame ballot next year, Polian said he'd leave them both off.
"I take neither," Polian said. "First of all, here's my position: [I want players who] contribute both individually and to the team. T.O.'s situation, T.O.'s temperament, his ability to contribute to the team was well known up front. He was going to be a problem. We did not want to deal with problem children. Others may. We didn't. That's number one. Number two, every year in Indianapolis we said the following: 'The price of admission is 100 percent effort all the time in everything we do.' Well, how can we take Randy Moss when we make that statement? It's that simple."
Polian believes both Moss and Owens will end up with busts in Canton, even though Polian doesn't think they belong.
"I think they will, unfortunately in my view," said Polian, "because whether you like it or not. these 'electoral campaigns' have a way of swinging people. In my view, and I said this publicly last year, I think the Hall of Fames are for people who make their teams better, not who detract from them. Now, T.O. was a bigger detractor over his career than Moss, but you certainly wouldn't call [Moss' attitude] any harbinger or example of what you want in a football player other than when he decided to play. 'I play when I play.' I don't buy it."
Polian's opinion of Owens is obviously shared by plenty of people on the Hall of Fame selection committee, which is why Owens has been voted down the last two years. We'll find out next year whether Owens can overcome the opposition and get into Canton — and whether Moss, eligible for the first time, can get in as well.
Browns use second-round tender on Isaiah Crowell
Teams with impending restricted free agents have a couple of decisions to make in the near future.
They have to decide whether to tender those players a contract for the current season and, if they do, they have to decide what level of tender to use. The Browns have made those calls on running back Isaiah Crowell.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Browns have extended a second-round tender to Crowell. That means he's in line to make $2.81 million and that a team interested in signing him away would have to give up a second-round pick for the right to do so.
Crowell led the Browns with a career-high 952 rushing yards last season. Rapoport adds that the two sides plan to continue talking about a longer deal that would set Crowell up for an extended stay in Cleveland.
Mark Ingram: Black Saints players turned away from London nightclub
The Saints will play in London on October 1, and four Saints players are visiting the city now. But their trip hasn't been entirely positive.
Saints running back Mark Ingram says he and teammates Vonn Bell, Sterling Moore and BW Webb had reservations for a table at the London nightclub Cirque Le Soir. But when they showed up, they were turned away and told they were "too urban."
Ingram detailed the incident on Twitter and retweeted a follower who said that "too urban" means "too black," as well as another follower who urged people to stop going to the "racist venue." All four players are black, as are the two other men they were with.
Ingram added, however, that he has been treated well in London.
"Honestly everyone has been incredibly kind! This was the first and only incident! It's not even close otherwise!" Ingram wrote.
Cirque Le Soir has not commented on the matter, which is receiving significant media attention in England.
Eddie Lacy: Packers have been "very vocal" about wanting me back
Running back Eddie Lacy's 2016 season came to an end after five games due to an ankle injury that required surgery and left him with limited recent results to use in a pitch to prospective suitors in free agency.
Lacy averaged 5.1 yards per carry in those five games, but the combination of his injury and concerns about his conditioning throughout the 2015 season don't set him up for a major payday when the new league year gets underway. That may leave him in position to take a one-year deal in hopes of cashing in next year and staying in a familiar situation might work well on that front.
That appears to be a possibility based on what Lacy told Adam Schefter of ESPN on Schefter's podcast.
"Talking to my agent, the Packers have been very vocal about having me back there," Lacy said.
Lacy said his agent will have further talks with Green Bay during the Scouting Combine and that he's focusing on getting healthy while those talks play out. Lacy said he "should be able to go out and do everything" when OTAs roll around later this year and we should have a good idea pretty soon where he'll be reporting for work when that date comes.
Ron Rivera on immigration discussion: "We can't lock people out"
Panthers coach Ron Rivera is by no means a crusader, actively working to keep the politics and the football separate in his locker room to avoid divisions.
But as one of the Hispanic pioneers in the NFL, he also understands he has a responsibility to serve as an example.
In a video interview with CNN, the two-time NFL coach of the year said he does feel a certain burden to lead, though his military background and career as a player has also instilled in him a certain sense of meritocracy as well. He said he sees the same struggle within quarterback Cam Newton, who has alternately embraced and shied away from his role as an example for the African American community, but certainly feels a pressure to succeed.
"I struggle with that because at the end of the day it should be about your merit," Rivera said. "I feel that I have to succeed at the highest level I can, and I have done that. . . .
"What I take from this, and what I hope people take from this is you can be whatever you want, it's up to you. You have to put in the work and do the things you're supposed do, but at the end of the day all you need is an opportunity."
Of course, the comments come at a time when immigration is a national discussion, and while Rivera has taken care to not take controversial stands, the suggestion of walls by President Donald Trump is something that strikes him as antithetical to the American experience.
"I think people have to understand, whatever the President is trying to do, whatever he's trying to get across, it's really not about what he's saying, it's about how we react and how we do things," Rivera said. "There's a group of people that are trying to make better lives for their families and that's what it really should be about.
"I think what everybody have to understand, is that's what America's foundation is built on. We can't lock people out because of that."
Rivera was one of the first players of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent to play in the NFL, but he said he never felt any racism when he was playing professionally. He recalled the anger of being called a "wetback" by a college teammate at Cal, but said that wasn't a factor when he was drafted by the Chicago Bears.
And while he walks a fine rhetorical line, he clearly isn't comfortable with some of the policies being discussed today.
Geno Smith: I've gotten better behind the scenes
Quarterback Geno Smith got a chance to return to the Jets starting lineup during the 2016 season, but there wouldn't be a storybook ending to his trip back up the depth chart.
Smith tore his ACL in the first half of an October start against the Ravens that marked his first turn with the first team since the 2014 season. That injury came after the broken jaw that opened the door for Ryan Fitzpatrick in 2015 and Smith says the extended time on the bench due to the injuries has served to obscure the progress he's made as a player.
"Being injured for two years has kind of taken that away from me," Smith said to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media. "My mistakes were shown on the field the first two years, and then me getting better has kind of been behind the scenes. The next time I step onto the field, it'll be what they expect. People want to see you get better, they want to see you move past your mistakes. I've done that, just behind the scenes."
Smith will be a free agent when the curtain rises on the new league year opens next week and said that his goal isn't to be a backup. He added that he's open to filling that role, which is probably a good thing for his employment chances as it's unlikely any team will be guaranteeing a starting job to a player who has barely played over the last two seasons.
Bucs tender Adam Humphries, three other exclusive rights free agents
The only thing teams need to do to hold onto players designated as exclusive rights free agents is tender them a one-year contract offer and Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports the Buccaneers did that with four players on Monday.
Wide receiver Adam Humphries is a notable contributor on the list. He caught 55 passes for 622 yards in 2016 as one of the more prominent members of the passing game not named Mike Evans. Humphries caught 27 passes as an undrafted rookie in 2015 and has more catches than 27 of the wideouts that were drafted that year.
Nickel back Jude Adjei-Barimah was also a 2015 undrafted free agent signing and he's another player who was tendered on Monday. Adjei-Barimeh played a regular role through the first 12 games of the season before a suspension brought his year to an early end.
Linebacker Adarius Glanton and wide receiver Freddie Martino were also tendered. Tight end Cameron Brate and defensive end Howard Jones are also set to be exclusive rights free agents, but have not been tendered at this point.
Report: Kirk Cousins would accept a trade only to the 49ers
As Washington closes in on the deadline for deciding whether to apply the franchise tag for a second straight year to quarterback Kirk Cousins, the tag-and-trade option continues to percolate. If Washington goes that route, however, it won't have many options.
John Keim of ESPN.com reports that Cousins would accept a trade only to the 49ers. It's a match that flows clearly and obviously from the dot-connecting process sparked by former Washington offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan's emergence as the presumed successor to Chip Kelly in San Francisco.
So why would Cousins be able to block a trade to any other team? While, in theory, any player under contract can be traded anywhere (absent a no-trade clause), no team is going to give Washington significant compensation for a one-year, $23.94 million deal that has no security for the new team beyond 2017. It therefore becomes critical for any trade talks to include contract negotiations, so that the team that acquires Cousins from Washington will have him under contract for multiple years.
The real question, as posed here last week, is whether Cousins would take less than $53 million fully guaranteed over the first two years as part of a long-term deal with the 49ers. That amount, which reflects the 2017 tag and a 20-percent transition-tag raid for 2018, is what he's believed to want in Washington in order to do a long-term deal. It's unknown whether he'd give the 49ers a new-hometown discount in order to facilitate a trade.
If Cousins won't take less, would the 49ers plunk down that much plus send one or more draft picks to Washington to get a quarterback who will be able to run the Shanahan offense? It's an issue that will be resolved, if anywhere, this week in Indianapolis as all teams gather there for the Scouting Combine.

Dolphins owner putting 16 players through "business combine" this week
Dolphins owner Stephen Ross wants to help his players succeed in the future. But he also thinks his latest venture could help the team in the present.
Via Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Ross is hosting 16 of his players for a "business combine" this week in New York to give them some insight into future opportunities beyond their playing days.
The players ranged from quarterback Ryan Tannehill and defensive end Cameron Wake to fringe players and free agents. Ross connected the players with area business leaders, put them in meetings and took them out of the office to explore real estate and other opportunities. Six players signed up for last year's version.
"This is really to give them an insight into what business is about," Ross said. "I mean, don't forget, these guys have concentrated their college and their professional football careers into becoming better football players and have been kind of shielded a little bit from the business world.
"This is really to create them and develop them so that when they do make the transition out of football they're better prepared. I think every owner should have the responsibility of developing them not only as football players but also after their careers and as people. That way it's better for them, it's better for the team, it's great to see these guys that are so passionate for what they do and the capabilities they have, how they use it to start the next level."
Ross said he thought getting a group of players together outside the football function could help with camaraderie and relationships, and having his quarterback and defensive leader on board will help in that regard. Players are paying their own way, since Ross picking up the bill would circumvent the salary cap.
"Well, I mean, and with what the team is doing, it kind of brings them together," Ross said. "And, you know, I think they experience these type of things together, they become closer together and they realize what the organization does and they're more committed to the Miami Dolphins.
"And certainly, I think, when other players outside when they're looking to see what teams they'd like to play for, it doesn't hurt. Because the word spreads. When I was speaking yesterday [at a business conference for NFL players in Ann Arbor] and the amount of players that came up to me and we spoke. Because I was there speaking, I think they really appreciate it."
More players should take advantage of such opportunities to parlay their football money into a future beyond their playing days. And Ross is right, there should be a responsibility for owners to put them in such positions, after profiting handsomely from their athletic gifts during the short time players can trade on those.
Jason Pierre-Paul "nowhere near a deal" with Giants
The Giants announced on Monday that they've used the franchise tag on defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul for the second time in three years, something that sets Pierre-Paul up to make around $17 million for the 2017 season.
That would be a big chunk of the Giants' cap and it's thought the team would like to get a longer deal done in order to lower Pierre-Paul's cap number and have more flexibility to make other moves. Pierre-Paul has expressed his displeasure with the notion of playing out the year on a one-year deal, so he's on board with a longer contract but his agent Doug Hendrickson said a lot of work is needed to get to that point.
"Obviously we're talking, but nowhere near a deal," Hendrickson said, via the New York Post.
Hendrickson didn't delve into where the differences lie in negotiations and said that the two sides will be talking again in Indianapolis in the coming days. If things move quickly in those conversations, the Giants may be able to start free agency without Pierre-Paul eating up a healthy chunk of the money they have available for this year.
Jaguars sign former CFL offensive lineman
The Jaguars are clearly reworking their offensive line this offseason, and they're willing to look beyond our borders to do it.
Via Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union, the Jaguars signed journeyman offensive lineman Greg Van Roten.
Van Roten played in 10 NFL games with the Packers in 2012 and 2013 and was with the Seahawks during the preseason in 2014. He was out of football after being cut there, but spent the last two seasons in Canada
He was named the Toronto Argonauts' most outstanding lineman during both his seasons there, and former Argos head coach Scott Milanovich is coaching quarterbacks in Jacksonville now, so he must have put a good word in for him.
The Jaguars declined a contract option on left tackle Kelvin Beachum, and are allowing former No. 2 overall pick Luke Joeckel to become a free agent. They've set up a trade with Miami for left tackle Branden Albert, which can't become official until March 9.
Tony Dorsett: "More bad than good" in CTE fight
Tony Dorsett was in Dallas last weekend to celebrate football history, but he also offered a reminder he might not remember all of it.
Via Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Dorsett admitted he struggles at times. He was diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in 2013, and said during an anniversary celebration for the Cowboys 1992 Super Bowl champions that he's dealing with the daily ups and downs.
"I'm fighting CTE," Dorsett said. "I have good days and I have bad days. The unfortunate thing sometimes is I have more bad than good. It is what it is. I'm trying to maintain and handle it."
Dorsett has said he has problems with long- and short-term memory because of the disease, and bouts of anger.
The 62-year-old Hall of Famer has been upfront about his condition, willing to talk about the issue of head injuries for years since his diagnosis.
