OT : Football millionaires who are broke now
For various reason, these three former NFL players (Andre Rison, Bernie Kosar, and Keith McCants) made million$, and then went broke :
I don't know whether to be sad for them or mad at them.

Re: OT : Football millionaires who are broke now
I just read a sad story about Jim McMahon. Not only is he broke, but starting to suffer from early dementia.
Maybe the money problems with some of these guys stem from severe, undiagnosed brain damage. Like Ali, they call it parkinsons but really these guys brain injuries stem from the repeated blows to the head they take. It isn't just the aging factor, these guys brains are scrambled at an incredibly young age.
Re: OT : Football millionaires who are broke now
sad. not good when a 24 year old gets a pile of $; all to often he runs thru it and hits 30 and doesn't have the revenue stream (LOTS of pro athletes only have 3-5 year careers). easy to feel contemtpuous towards them but many guys just don't think straight at that age. I think that's why the Ravens target character big-brother type players, whether drafted (Torrey Smith) or not (Jameel McCLain).
I remember Jim McMahon taking a beating (esp late in his career, with Vikings) and wondering if it was really worth it. hard to walk away from the NFL..."Nothing stops these Baltimore Ravens. Beat them, injure them, shove them to the bottom of the standings, drag them into a hostile environment and mount a big lead, and they just keep trudging forward like nothing fazes them." (Bleacher Report)
Re: OT : Football millionaires who are broke now
It takes a lot of knowledge to know how to handle money in the sums that these players are making. Many of them have no knowledgeable family backing to assist them. There are more people out there with a plan to separate them from their money than there are people who are actually trying to look out for their best financial interests. Throw in a marriage and divorce, a failed business opportunity and being broke becomes a reality.
Re: OT : Football millionaires who are broke now
I can't feel sorry for them because they are no different than me now. I don't feel sorry for myself for not having much money, so why would I feel sorry for them? The only difference between them and me is they had it before, and I never did.

Re: OT : Football millionaires who are broke now
Reality check: The percentage of NFL players losing their shirts is no different than those in the rest of society. How many millionaires lost it all either through divorce, failed business ventures or just plain thievery? How many average Joes have lost it all through bad investments in an economic downturn or just living above their means? The big picture says a very small percentage in every case. In life there will always be more winners than losers. So then why is there such a need to focus on losers?

It doesn't shock me that athletes end up broke so often. They're the worst case scenario in terms of wealth retention.
Frequently from poor backgrounds with large families, young, getting a large amount of money up front and then (frequently) significantly less, incredibly short time frame in which to earn a lifetime's worth of income, often expected to lead a certain high rolling life style by their peers and hangers on, and very few are actually getting good advice from the people around them.
Recipe for disaster.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron

Well, I didn't know where else to go and I found this forum so I figured I'd give it a try. By the way, I already like the site! Im orgionally from central Illinois and grew up on the river where hunting is a way of life. I joined the service and got stationed at Cherry Point, now I got out but still work here as a civilian. All i used to do was duck hunt but i haven't been in years since being here. I went this past season a few times wading in some marshes in Swansboro and killed some woodies and a few teal. This is a brand new type of hunting for me. I have no idea where to scout/go duck hunting at around here. I'm used to flooding fields with blinds or on the river. Need some advice on public grounds I could hunt on. I'm possible going to buy a duck boat soon if I can find some hunting ground. I also bought a lab puppy that I would like to take this upcoming season. I'm really just trying to get back into duck hunting because I absoolutely love it. Just kind of hard in a completely different state without knowing much of the local area. Can anyone help out a veteran? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Gents!

With their help, researchers are advancing the 70-year effort to understand—and treat—hereditary ataxia.
Nissa Mollema, Harry Orr
Henry dreamed of attending medical school to study ataxia and help his family. However, financial hardships during the Great Depression forced him to abandon his efforts to obtain a college degree. He returned home to the farm in 1934 and married in 1935. His cousin Ed also returned home to be closer to family after he was diagnosed with ataxia. He was a willing research participant and worked with Dr. Rossen at St. Peter's Hospital, where he donated cerebrospinal fluid for research. He was even directed to consume calf brains in hopes of identifying a potential treatment. Unfortunately, these efforts did not improve his condition.
Henry's younger brother, John, made it his goal to find a cure for the family disorder and studied to become a medical doctor. He began practicing as a neurologist in the mid-1940s. Dr. John, as family members called him, completed a comprehensive study of the ataxia that ran in his family, which was published in Archives of Neurology and Psychiatry in 1950. This article described the symptoms of the disease, the multigenerational nature of the disorder, and an interesting phenomenon regarding the ataxia in his family—family members were showing symptoms of the disorder at earlier and earlier ages, an effect called genetic anticipation. Genetic anticipation is common in some hereditary neurodegenerative disorders, such as Huntington's disease, but at the time no one knew why this accelerated timing would occur. In the hereditary ataxia that affected the Schut family, each generation that inherited ataxia was more severely affected by the disorder. Whatever factor caused the disease became more toxic to the body as it passed from parent to child.
In 1949 Dr. John returned to a medical residency program to become a certified neurologist. Meanwhile, his older sister, Elsie, had become severely affected by ataxia, and he was determined to do all he could to help her. With each minor illness, her lungs became filled with fluid that her body was unable to expel. She coughed, gasping for breath, and Dr. John frantically aspirated her lungs so that she could take another gulp of air. Her death in 1953, at age 36, was especially difficult for him; he had done everything he could to keep her alive. Now Dr. John was even more determined to identify the cause of ataxia, and time was beginning to run out: He himself was showing symptoms of the disease. He suspected that there must be a genetic factor. This idea was based on the observations that multiple generations within the family were affected and that the disease symptoms increased in severity as ataxia passed from generation to generation. If he identified the factor underlying the hereditary ataxia by finding genetic association, he could potentially treat the disorder.
Such research called for resources, so in 1957 Henry and Dr. John founded the National Ataxia Foundation to raise funds. Ataxia was nearly unheard of, so raising awareness about the disorder was necessary. Dr. John worked with another relative to educate the public about ataxia. Soon, he secured private and government funding to conduct genome association studies. At the time, no other families with SCA1 were known, so the studies focused only on affected members of his own kin.
Dr. John examined blood and cerebrospinal fluid from affected and unaffected individuals, but he did not find a blood factor associated with the disorder. However, in the cerebrospinal fluid from ataxic patients, he saw higher levels of compounds attributed to death of neuronal cells. These compounds were possible by-products of the disease, but alone they could not explain the cause of ataxia. Dr. John kept studying ataxia but made little progress. At the time, science lacked the necessary tools to identify the factor causing the disorder.
As more cousins became disabled by ataxia and his own illness worsened, the lack of answers was increasingly frustrating for Dr. John; conversely, the possibility of identifying genetic underpinnings became ever more tantalizing. Without a genetic test, it was impossible to determine whether a family member was affected by the disorder. The typical age of SCA1 onset corresponded perfectly to the period in an adult's life when he or she is considering marriage and children. If a family member reached 33 years of age and remained symptom-free, then it was unlikely he or she would develop ataxia. Otherwise, he or she risked passing the disorder to the next generation. On the advice of Dr. John, at-risk family members who had a parent with ataxia delayed having children or avoided conceiving altogether.
Dr. John's ataxia worsened to the point where he was unable to conduct his research. This infuriated him and made him determined to do everything he could to stay alive to focus on finding a cure. His spirits brightened when Henry's son Larry entered the University of Minnesota Medical College in 1958. Henry had remained unaffected by the disorder, so his children were at no risk of developing ataxia. Yet he and his children were closely tied to the disorder, because three of Henry's four siblings were affected. Antibiotics and new medical interventions kept Dr. John alive for longer than any other family member with the disorder; he eventually passed away at age 51 after fighting ataxia for 23 years.

Hey guys,
Can anyone recommend a ROTJ Hollow RF that will fit the LED board from "MRGR8NESS" ?? I bought the board a few months ago, and just got my FP Hollow RF back. I remember one or 2 guys getting it to work, but it's REALLY tight and I fear breaking the electronics away from the board. I love the FP version, but I was hoping there was another maker out there that would fit perfectly, with minimal modding. If so, anyone have a spare??

=== Make GUI-bindings easy to install ===
Latest revision as of 12:25, 26 September 2012
The following is a wiki page to centralize discussion of how to improve Haskell on Mac OS X. The name "strike force" comes from dons' post on reddit and the comments therein.
[edit] 1 Goals
[edit] 1.1 Take care of the Haskell Platform installer
The Haskell Platform installer is now maintained by Mark Lentczner. The build is now a Makefile that is part of the Haskell Platform source tree.
- what are the most pressing things on the todo list?
- script a reliable uninstaller for prior versions
- work out how to suport: { 10.5 | 10.6 | 10.7 } × { 32bit | 64bit } × { Xcode 3.2 | Xcode 4.1 } with as few versions as possible.
This is done in version 2011.4.0.0 of the Haskell Platform
[edit] 1.2 Make GUI-bindings easy to install
Neither wxHaskell nor Gtk2hs with native Gtk seems to be easy to install. What's the state of HQK and qtHaskell?
- We should provide at least one easy way to install one set of GUI bindings
[edit] 1.2.1 wxHaskell
wxHaskell got a lot easier to install in April 2012, with the 0.90 release. See WxHaskell/Mac for details. Should be just a matter of a little homebrew and cabal install wx.
Note that using MacPorts is problematic because of iconv-related issues that various people have reported on the mailing list. I doubt qtHaskell is immune from this.
IMHO, it could be worthwhile to point people to a standard wxWidgets pkg.
[edit] 1.2.2 qtHaskell
qtHaskell with i386 ghc can be compiled with the following steps:
- Install Qt via MacPorts with the universal option set.
- Install Perl 5.12 via MacPorts.
- qmake will default to building x86_64 binaries, which does not work with 32-bit ghc. Modify /opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/mkspecs/macx-g++/qmake.conf, adding the following lines:
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS = -arch i386 QMAKE_CFLAGS = -arch i386 QMAKE_LFLAGS = -arch i386
- You could also create your own spec (macx-g++-i386?), and modify build.pl in the qtHaskell top-level directory to use this spec.
- Build qtHaskell by executing the build script in the top-level directory.
[edit] 1.3 Make GHC 64 bit
Mac OS X GHC Trac tickets:
[edit] 1.4 Reduce the number of GHC tickets
[edit] 2 Information
[edit] 2.1 Wiki
[edit] 2.2 Installing Haskell
[edit] 2.2.1 How Haskell is on OS X today
The simplest methods are currently:
- Binary GHC framework (/Library/Framework)
- Binary Haskell platform framework (/Library/Framework)
- MacPorts (/opt/local)
- Fink (/sw)
- Homebrew (symlinked into /usr/local ?)
[edit] 2.2.2 Manually compiled
ChrisKuklewicz 11:53, 6 September 2010 (UTC) I use MacPorts for the infrastructure and compile ghc against /opt/local but with --prefix=/opt/ghc-6.12.3 to keep it separate.
[edit] 2.2.3 Dynamic Linking
working in GHC HEAD, not in any released version.
[edit] 2.2.4 Difficult libraries on OS X
Libraries needed for ghc
- iconv (older version in /usr is incompatible with new version from MacPorts)
- readline (faked in /usr, provided by framework or MacPorts)
- gmp (framework or MacPorts)
Libraries needed for other packages? gtk?
[edit] 2.3 OS X code integration
Write Haskell in XCode?
Write ObjectiveC against GHC.Framework?
FFI for Objective C from Haskell?
[edit] 2.4 Improvements?
A cabal2pkg that maintains proper dependency tracking?
Discussion forum for all this?
You can discuss it on Haskellers at [1]

NHIAA Boys' Hockey: Trinity skaters blank Brady
The Pioneers put the game away with a five-goal second period that led to running time in the third. Six different Pioneers scored goals, led by Kyle Valliere and Mitch Myers with three points each.
Myers and Patrick Swanson got things rolling in the first period, which ended with Trinity up 2-0. Then the offense really started to click in the second.
Twice in the period the Pioneers got quick back-to-back goals. The first pair was 19 seconds apart when Valliere scored with 5:34 left and Drew Merrick with 5:15. The second pair were just 11 seconds apart. Myers lit the lamp with 2:20 remaining and Mitch Dructor scored with 2:09 left.
Justin Sirois had the other goal in the period.
Zach Frament scored the lone goal for the Giants (0-1), with one of the assists going to Shelby Herrington, the girl who is fighting for her right to play on the boys' team. Dructor had the only goal of the frame for the Pioneers (1-0).

After an eight-day layoff, the Canisius women's basketball team bounced back with a 62-53 win over rival Niagara University in a Battle of the Bridge contest in the Koessler Athletic Center on Friday. The Golden Griffins improve to 9-13 overall and 5-8 in the MAAC, winning for the third time in their last four home games.
Senior Jamie Ruttle matched her season high with 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting. Freshman Lauren D'Hont scored a career-high 14 points and also made a career-best four 3-pointers. Redshirt junior Courtney VandeBovenkamp had seven points and grabbed a season-high 10 rebounds and four blocks.
"I thought we were a little sluggish after the long layoff and felt Courtney got us a lot of energy to get the team going," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "In the second half of the conference schedule, other players have to step up and Lauren did that today.
"We stuck to our defensive game plan throughout the entire game and found a way to win against our rival."
Both teams struggled offensively to start the game as the Griffs started 2-for-15 from the floor but were able to keep Niagara from building a big lead early in the game. Niagara led by as many as seven points, taking a 15-8 lead with 6:54 left on a 3-pointer from Meghan McGuinness, her only 3-pointer of the game. The Griffs would score the next 10 points, with a 3-pointer from the wing from D'Hont giving Canisius a 18-15 lead with 3:10 left. The Griffs extended that run to a 17-4 spurt to close out the half and build a 25-19 advantage, their biggest lead of the first half.
The second half featured more of an up-tempo pace as Canisius would never relinquish the lead. Niagara cut the lead to 36-33 but the Griffs used a couple of fast-break baskets, including a layup off a spin move from sophomore Crystal Porter, to go up 42-33 with just over eight minutes left.
Niagara (7-15, 5-8 MAAC) cut the deficit to 45-43 with just over five minutes left but Canisius put the game away by scoring the next nine points, including seven from Ruttle. The senior's 3-pointer with 2:46 left put Canisius up by nine and a layup by Ruttle capped the run and gave the Griffs an 11-point lead.
Val McQuade led Niagara with 14 points who shot 31.7 percent from the floor to go along with 17 turnovers. Canisius controlled the glass with 48 rebounds and only allowed Niagara to have nine offensive rebounds and the Purple Eagles scored 15 second-change points in the first meeting.
Canisius returns to the road for a road game at Quinnipiac on Sunday. Tipoff is set for 1 p.m., with the game being shown live on ESPN3.
Notes: The teams split the regular-season series for the third consecutive season... VandeBovenkamp had five or more rebounds for the fifth time in the last six games… D'Hont is now 9-for-13 from behind the arc in the last three games… Ruttle scored in double figures for a team-best 12th time this season… Canisius had 16 assists on 20 made baskets… Sophomore Tiahana Mills recorded five assists and one turnover in 35 minutes… Canisius was 15-for-27 from the free-throw line, shooting below 60 percent from the charity stripe for the seventh time this season… The Griffs recorded a season-high nine blocks… The win was worth two points in the all-sports Battle of the Bridge competition and Canisius now leads 10.5 to 7.5. The Griffs need 16.5 points to win the Canal Cup for the fourth consecutive season.

Saturday April 26th, 2014 9:29am
(Inside Lacrosse Photo: John & Matt Risley)
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – No. 1/2 Syracuse scored the final three goals to erase a one-goal deficit to defeat No. 4/4 North Carolina, 9-7, in the semifinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Women's Lacrosse Championship. The Orange advances to the title game where it will face No. 2/1 Maryland on Sunday, April 27 at 1 p.m. Aly Messinger's goal at the 13:35 mark capped a 5-0 North Carolina (14-4) scoring run and gave the Tar Heels their first lead at 7-6. Sophomore Kayla Treanor tied the game when she came from around the left side of the net and put her shot in the back of the cage with 8:28 remaining. That goal was the Orange's (17-1) first goal of the half and ended a scoreless drought of more than 22 minutes. Syracuse won the ensuing draw and senior Katie Webster had a chance to give the Orange the lead, but Megan Ward made one of her 11 second-half saves on the play. Syracuse maintained possession and senior Amy Cross took advantage when scored her fourth goal of the tournament at the 7:20 mark to give the Orange the lead for good. Syracuse again won the draw control and ran the clock down to 5:49 when Webster found the back of the net for her fourth goal of the day to give Syracuse a 9-7 advantage. The Orange won its third consecutive draw, but a turnover in its offensive end gave North Carolina possession with 2:28 remaining. Maggie Bill got off a shot, but Orange goalkeeper Kelsey Richardson made the save and the Orange ran out the clock for its 11th consecutive victory. As it has done in the past two games the Orange jumped out to an early lead. Treanor scored a wrap-around goal at the 25:03 mark to start the scoring. Junior Devon Collins followed with a goal when she took a pass from senior Alyssa Murray from outside the top of the fan and put her shot in the back of the goal. Murray then scored on an assist from Treanor and Webster followed with an unassisted goal to give Syracuse a 4-0 lead with 18:33 remaining. Molly Hendrick converted a free position attempt at the 12:51 mark to put North Carolina on the scoreboard before Webster scored two more times, the second coming on an assist from Murray with 20 seconds on the clock, to give the Orange a 6-2 halftime lead. North Carolina came back in the second half. Carly Davis scored on a free position attempt at the 27:12 mark, which sparked the Tar Heels on a 5-0 run, that gave North Carolina its first lead of the game. Messinger assisted on the game-tying goal by Taylor George and then gave the Tar Heels a 7-6 lead with an unassisted goal. That would be North Carolina's final tally of the game as the Orange scored three times in the final 13:35 for the come-from-behind win. "It's an incredible win for the Syracuse women's lacrosse team today," said Orange head coach Gary Gait. "We got off to a fast start. The first half was the best I've seen our defense play the whole year. I thought our goaltending was strong today. We rallied when they came back to go ahead. We showed a lot of character by not panicking and sticking together and going ahead and making that final three-goal run to take the game. I thought it was a great team effort." Senior Kasey Mock anchored Syracuse's defense, causing a career-high four turnovers and tying her personal best with five ground balls. Junior Mallory Vehar also tied her career high with five ground balls. Richardson tied her career high with nine saves as the Orange shut out the Tar Heels for the final 13:35. Syracuse held North Carolina's leading scorer, Abbey Friend, to no goals on just three shots. Webster finished with a season-high four goals and moved into seventh place on Syracuse's all-time goals scored list with 130 in her career. Treanor had three points (2g, 1a), while Murray finished with a goal and two assists. Syracuse outshot North Carolina, 29-19, and picked up 22 ground balls to 15 for the Tar Heels. The squads split the draw controls with each team winning nine. The Orange gets a chance to avenge its only loss of the season when it takes on No. 2/1 Maryland on Sunday at 1 p.m. in the championship game.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by kpaav, Jul 3, 2007.
Reminds of me of Ingrid Bergman playing Joan de Arc with a Swedish accent.
. . . or Tony Curtis playing "Spartacus" with his Brooklyn accent.
Funny stuff! LOL
Darko wants to go back to Europe. Former Piston Milicic wants to go back to Europe | The Detroit News | detnews.com
Hope that part about Rodney Rogers isn't true.
McCoskey needs to let it go. He hasn't written a single decent article about the Pistons all year, but he has time to trash Darko. I suppose his next article will be about how poorly Delfino is fitting in Russia.
The "Fall of Darko" will always be of interest in Detroit. So many folks talked him up... that his crash and burn is all the more interesting. I wish him well but he never had the desire or toughness to play in the NBA. He will find his softer place in Europe.
he barely writes an article... did he get put on a part time salary.... the coverage by the detroit papers this year is pathetic at best.
It's true he was hurt. I haven't seen paralyzed. I remember, when I was in grad school at Duke, I used occasionally to catch Rogers playing games for Durham H.S.
I need to apologize to all those people here that told me so. It was attitude and mindset all along. - But his play draws fouls.
Darko may make the news tomorrow. After getting a bad foul call, plus a quick tech, Darko goes to the bench and does his incredible Hulk imitation by ripping his jersey apart. He also posted a pretty good stat line: 11 minutes, 5 points, 5 boards, and 5 personal fouls.
The Grizzlies are now offering the Jersey up for auction. Auction and video at the link: Grizzlies: Darko Milicic's torn jersey from Grizz v. Rockets win to go on online auction block
When I was a kid we used to have these huge pennants hanging in our basement featuring the Peanuts gang members. The bright orange Linus one said..."It doesn't matter what you believe as long as you're sincere". That's 16 mile and bball Jay. I always think of that pennant whenever they talk about Darko.
Did the Grizz bench Gasol and elevate DM back to starter?
Hopefully this auction will fetch more money than Darko's empty box of Kleenex that Matt Dobek auctioned off when DMC was with the Pistons.
The Hell kind of number is 31 anyway. They already use up the good ones in "Phis.
but how in the world did he rip the jersey at once? In the vid it looks as if he only tears the collar but somehow the whole jersey is torn
No, I saw it and he tore it in one pull. He just ripped it with seemingly no effort at all. It was on LP and obviously torn in one "swell foop". I understand his frustration but will not go into it now, for obvious reaons. Anyway, the Grizzlie charities will benefit, including the children's hospital in Memphis. It's all good.
He got 35 late nite 10 boards 13 pts and a win. On 5 of 11 shooting with ~4 fouls. Let's see how long he keeps those minutes.
Separate names with a comma.

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:22pm
The Loyola Marymount lacrosse team is proud to announce that they have hired Craig and Scott Hochstadt to take over following the release of former Head Coach Mark Grey.
Craig and Scott hail from the East Coast, both having played for Maryland at the collegiate level and Boys' Latin School of Maryland in High School. Craig played on the No. 1 ranked 2001 Maryland team and Scott was a 3-time All-American who played in two NCAA National Championship games for the Terps.
Craig will take the role of Head Coach and Scott will be an Assistant Offensive Coordinator and Director of Recruiting.
Both Craig and Scott have lacrosse related day jobs. Craig is a co-founder and Chief Brand Officer for LXM PRO TOUR which introduces lacrosse to mainstream audiences by combining world-class professional lacrosse games with live concert performances. Scott is the founder of the Starz Foundation which gives scholarships to under-privileged kids and also is the founder of Starz Lacrosse Clubs, the largest club lacrosse organization in the country. Scott also is a co-founder of Adrenaline Apparel and Camps.
"Scott and I have always grown up playing sports and being competitive," said Craig. "We've always wanted to find a school to take to the next level and become a powerhouse on the west coast and we thought we were going to do it with a D-I school but it happened to be in the MCLA. We always wanted to take one of the LA schools and have it become a major competitor nationally."
Craig and Scott will hope to carryover the momentum they had from last season into the 2011 campaign. The Lions were 13-5 last season and finished the season in the No. 17 spot.
"We're very lucky to have coaches with the background they have and their knowledge of the game. They also have a strong business background. I expect a lot out of them and they can bring this program to the next level and make us a national powerhouse and content for national championships every year."
- LMU Lacrosse President Colin Templis, Senior Midfield
"Our ultimate goal is to continue to progress LMU Lacrosse. Just like last year, we want every year to be the most successful year of our program and with the resources, experience and enthusiasm of Scott and Craig, theres no doubt in mind that well continue to move forward"
- Nick Roessler, Senior Defenseman, Captain
"I think the hiring of the Hochstadt's was a intelligent move on our part. It's an opportunity that would have been tough to pass up. With the recruiting connections, fundraising opportunities, and success they have had on and off the field as players and coaches, Craig and Scott will have a huge impact on the program that former Head Coach Mark Frey built from the ground up."
- Travis Abraham, Junior Midfield, Captain
"After coach Frey stepped down, I knew we had to choose the perfect coach to resume what he continued. Frey built the program to the national picture and we wanted to make the program more respected. With hiring Scott and Craig, the team feels that they can continue what Frey started and improve on that. Scott and Craig have connections that are second to none and they have playing experience that is hard to find on the west coast (both played at Maryland). We knew right away that Scott and Craig were the right guys to take over our program. We are very excited for the Hochstadt brothers to coach LMU and take this program to the next level."
- Marc Napp, Senior Defenseman, Captain, LMU Lacrosse Vice-President

I took a music history course in college as a free elective, and one of the things the professor talked about was how a musical style becomes "mannered" at the end of it's life cycle; that is, the common themes of the style are developed to their highest level of complexity. The Baroque period (Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, etc) emphasizes complex, interwoven melodies. The subsequent Classical period has more of an emphasis on simpler melodies supported by the orchestration. This idea of mannerism is also common in the visual arts and architecture.
In the last couple of years, we have seen many brands come to adopt some form or other of "fluidic" design language, garish LED daytime running lights, starship interiors, and some pretty funky wheel designs. I feel like the 50's were somewhat like this as well, with tailfins coming to prominence. Things got simpler as the years went on, and in the 80's, most mainstream cars were pretty boxy. Then "jellybean" cars came in the 90's, and now we are seeing the mannerism of these designs with Hyundai's and the Bangle BMW's.
So are we going to swing back to simpler designs some time soon? What say you, TCL?
TL;DR - In art, things usually get more complex before they get simpler. Does the same go for automotive design?
Baroque/Rococo (highly ornamented, eye catching, complex) (1712)
Classical/Palladian (little ornamentation, simple elegant shapes) (1772)

By Joe Brewin
Steph Houghton has paid tribute to the 5,000 Arsenal supporters who watched Arsenal Ladies' 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Emirates Stadium on Thursday night.
Laura Harvey's side overtook their west London rivals at the top of the table in front of a record Women's Super League crowd.
Houghton featured for Leeds Carnegie alongside fellow Arsenal team-mate Ellen White on the Ladies' last fixture at the stadium - but the midfielder admits this fulfilled an even bigger dream.
"The support was tremendous," Houghton told Arsenal Player. "I think all the girls are really grateful that they came out. We love the support and we are glad that we put on a performance to make sure we got the win for them.
"Obviously it was great to come to the Emirates a few years ago for Leeds but to do it for Arsenal is something that you dream about. We wish we could play here every week so when we do it is great for every one of us.
"We just want to say thanks to all the supporters who came out."

Join KCPT and UMKC for a sneak peek screening and discussion of "American Promise," a documentary that was over 13 years in the making.
Directors Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson, middle-class African-American parents in Brooklyn, New York, turn their cameras on their son, Idris, and his best friend, Seun, who make their way through Manhattan's Dalton School, one of the most prestigious private schools in the country. Chronicling the boys' divergent paths from kindergarten through high school graduation, this provocative, intimate documentary presents complicated truths about America's struggle to come of age on issues of race, class and opportunity.
After viewing clips from the film, we'll examine how each of us – as parents, teachers and members of a larger community – play a role in shaping the identities of our nation's black boys.
RSVP here, for this FREE event.
This event is co-sponsored by the UMKC School of Education, UMKC Black Studies Program, and the UMKC Urban Education Research Center.
"American Promise" is made possible by a grant from American Documentary | POV, with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by martyross, Mar 11, 2013.
come on - come on - come on! We LOVE you, living legends! <3 Good luck!
They ARE going to win. They have the skill, the material, and the strategy. It will all come together for them. This is the most exciting year in awhile!
You have said it kitty.
They will win......
practice starts now right? i hope someone uploads photos videos
I haven't written much in this thread after the 4CC, and I haven't commented on what happened there. Actually, on the day of FD I was already on my way to Stockholm, to 'Art on Ice'. I must admit that I read about the results late Monday evening. I was so deep into anticipations of seeing my beloved Stephane Lambiel live for the first time, and I was really hoping that all went well for Tessa and Scott, but at the same time wary of finding out the results before the show just in case if they hadn't won, not wanting to spoil my great mood. But in the end my impatience got the best of me, although I must say it was not an easy task to read through the pages of Tessa and Scott thread on my ordinary (very ancient style) mobile phone. Of course, I was disappointed and worried about them, but please don't blame me for not allowing that to spoil my great event.
After returning home I was living in the memories of 'Art on Ice', watching and rewatching videos of Stephane and other skaters, but that didn't keep me from reading FSU and Tessa and Scott thread several times a day, and taking part in all the discussions here in my head D). Yes, I am that weird type of a fan - I follow everything that others have written in the V/M thread, think about it a lot, then instead of replying to someone for real, I kind of do it in my head, which in the end almost makes me forget that in reality I haven't written anything here for a long time .
As for the Worlds - I really do hope that they will have the two best performances of the season there. It would be especially great if they could finally show their FD to it's full potential. But my realistically ideal result would be them getting all level 4s in the SD (which they are capable of), winning it assuredly, then getting level 4 on one of their FD step sequences (which unfortunately seems less realistic), winning it if not assuredly, then by a hair's breadth, and winning overall. But if it's not possible for them to get level 4 on their FD step sequences as they are, and if that level will become what separates them from victory, so be it! I didn't want (and still don't want) them to change and compromise even more in order to get those levels anyway. I still believe that with two great performances they can win even without that level 4, although barely.
well practices are very empty and many skaters aren't showing up. So far the dance practices have been uneventful. Pechelat/bourzat were the only ones in their group, the americans aren't there and with the way this is going, i don't know whether V/M will show up especially since their practice starts at 10:20 pm and they have an early one tomorrow...but we'll see.
I actually think it's completely realistic for V/M to earn level 4's on their step sequences in the FD. This was a hard program to learn and perfect, given that unlike some who reuse the same things season after season, they had all new elements and moves. It's all about peaking now, for this competition. One thing we should all know by now: If V/M have a full season, they'll be ready in the end for whatever the big event is. We've just got to have faith in them that they can do this.
Jackie Wong's predictions for top 10 for dance at Worlds: http://www.examiner.com/article/2013-world-championships-preview-dance-predictions-for-the-top-ten
Who is Jackie Wong and should we think this writer might have a bias toward one couple over another? I don't mean just for top spot but even some of the lower spots? I was quite surprised to see G/P of Canada slotting into 10th, for example.
Jackie wong is an american figure skating blogger who does alot of live commentary on twitter. He says he is unbiased however he's predicted D/W will win the world championships for the past 3 years. He tends to support the americans, obviously, and doesn't seem to like chan much...
BTW no tessa and scott at monday practice
I'll be at the afternoon practice tomorrow and, if Tessa and Scott are there, you can count on me for the report.
I love the title of the thread!
Holy moly I can't believe we're in the new thread already! I hope all you lucky guys there right now are enjoying it and we will be expecting your reports (looking at you pezazzz and Ioana and Judy and everybody else). Unlike previous competitions I'm feeling very calm and not really full of anticipation like I usually am. I just want two amazing performances and whatever happens I'm proud of them
good luck to them!
Also Ioana, go to the press conferences too please!
I'm super nervous. I worry that I won't be able to enjoy the competition live. I have so much work this week.
For all of the hand-wringing and worrying I've done basically since worlds last year, I'm in the same boat with you. I went to bed last night fretting, but when I woke up this morning, I felt entirely different. Call it a feeling. I'm now going to turn, spit, and curse like Toby Ziegler would instruct me to.
I've read a few of his articles and I tend to believe that he's pretty unbiased (he does work for an American publication so, understandably, he has to show the Americans some love). I remember he wrote an article defending V/M when there were allegations that all of their programs were romantically-themed and lacked range ( http://www.examiner.com/article/range-a-word-or-three-on-virtue-and-moir ). I don't recall him disliking Chan, though.
If you can go to the press conferences are you plz plz able to record and upload them?! Thank you
The Examiner is sort of a gray area. It's more of a pro-am for journalism. It's owned by a company, but the platform is pretty much blog-like. I don't think there's a lot of oversight. At the end of the day, he's pretty much just another fan with a blog, like Aunt Joyce.
Thanks for the new thread, martyross, and thanks for providing the title, The Accordion.
lauravvv, it is great to see you posting again, and I am glad you had a good time at Art On Ice. It must have been quite an experience to see your favourite skater live. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on worlds!
thanks for the update! I hope you enjoyed the practice. How did P&B look?
I like Jackie Wong and feel the same way elle123 does. I think he actually takes time to go through and understand the rules. I believe he is a former figure skater. In addition to the piece elle123 mentioned, he also thought that V&M were the more artistic team and defended their WC win last year, saying he felt they should have had a greater lead in the SD and less of a lead in the FD. I, too, am surprised to see G&P listed as the predicted 10th place finishers. There are so many strong teams in the field. Anyways, should be exciting!
IoanaC, I didn't know you were going! I hope you have a wonderful time this week and I look forward to your reports
Omigoodness I leave for London tomorrow night! (Have to teach for a full day first and then take the red eye! )
So here are my 2 schools of thought.
When I went to the Olympics there were hopes that Virtue and Moir might win - but also a lot of thoughts about why they might not.
For now I will focus the VM/DW aspect of that competition.
All year Bollywood seemed to be everyone's favourite OD and so many people complained about VM flamenco being not flamenco enough, not Canadian enough, too difficult for them to do well. Then V and M brought Farrucas up to the level it was aiming for all season and no one knew it could reach and the unthinkable happened - Farrucas beat Bollywood. All year people had been talking about DW having the better, higher scoring OD and then V and M reached their peak and they beat them. And watching again and again I am just amazed at what they were able to do with that exceptionally difficult dance with Tessa in so much pain.
Then the freeskate. DW did a tremendous job and scored so much higher than freeskates had been scoring all year. Even with the lead VM had with the CD and OD it seemed D and W may have earned such a high score as to overtake them. Then Mahler and VM scored even higher.
All this with a very physically challenged Tessa.
So 1 part of me thinks they can do it again. They can surprise those who have written them off by peaking at the exact right time and obtaining their levels while skating the amazing Carmen.
But there is another part or me that recognizes that the perception of the 2 teams in the judges' minds has changed immeasurably since 2010 and that the momentum is in DW favour with no losses to VM since Worlds last year and consistently higher PCS marks.There seems to be a new love for speed and power that trickles into all the PCS marks. And even though there are those of us who believe Carmen to be a superior program - that certainly does not seem to be the case with judges. In addition - there are many who may be influenced by the idea that DW should have won last year.
Bottom line? I didn't know going into the Olympics how it would end up. I did love the results! However, had it ended up differently the fact was I still got to be in the arena to see those 2 skates.
I am unbelievably honoured to have seen those 2 programs. And for me they were magic - as was Valse Triste at Skate Canada (pretty much didn't breathe) as was Umbrellas at Canadians (I cried) as was the first time I saw them skate in person -their Russian Folk dance at Nationals.
I would love for them to win for them. And because I would love to see their excellence recognized as the strongest in the World.
But when I am there I am just going to do my best to take in the magic - and enjoy what is very much more than likely the last time I will ever see them skate competitively.
I will bring Kleenex!
great post, The Accordion!
I am sure this will be an incredible experience for you and everyone else in the arena. It's cool that so many people from this thread are attending. I am so excited for you all!
The Accordion I hope you have a great time. That part in your post about it being the last time you will see them competitively and you just wanting to enjoy it, almost made me tear up. I think it started with this new montage Martiza just shared today and it made me nostalgic…next season is gonna be really hard.
Me too, because i saw them last time already "live"
But i didnt saw them "live" before 2010 WCh and the skated great, so fingers crossed for clean skating!
The Accordion!, i hope you is V-M lucky charm Enjoy every minute of WCh, not only V-M. Nothing could be compared with WCh - so many fans from different countries, so many skaters and coaches, and fan-zone - amazing! And look, like crowd is already amazing - SO for Patrick!
IoanaC, Yeeess! Cant wait your reports! Have a great time!
Guys, Ioana coudnt upload videos, because hournalists coudnt do this or she could never have accreditation again.
Blumberg at 4CC was with Zhukivsi, who alwayse support canadians and guys from GB - tow voice against one Blumberg
Its funny, but V-M with Marie only one time had bonus - at last year WCh.
PEZazzz, thank you for the practice report and since I will be popping in and out of the thread I want to thank all the rest of the FSUer's attending Worlds for their reports as well.
I also hope everyone who gets to see Tessa and Scott live really enjoys the experience and being at Worlds in general.
ITA with those who feel that V&M have everything they need to win the competition but we know that at times they have no control over what it is the judges decide to do. Components marks these days do seem synonymous with speed so what I really want is for Tessa and Scott to end their season by skating two amazing performances that they and their hometown audience can really be proud of no matter what happens.
gerbil, I'll do a *turn, spit, curse* right along with you.
Good Luck guys!
You said it so well. I too remember how things were after 4CC per Olys in 2010 and the tightness in the chest at that time....
I leave tonite and am going to enjoy to the fullest. Hope they have the competition they want and are on top of the world like they should be.
If I can't record the press conf I'll do my best to tell you everything that has been discussed.
I believe in them and they certainly can win this. I want to.enjoy every second, despite the nerves (hope I'll be able to )
@ BourneKraatzfan P/B looked good. They some trouble with the twizzles during their run-through ( bourzat fell), that seemed to take a little steam out from them. But they looked strong and had private ice ! W/P also looked good.
Thank you for reports!
Hope you have fun.
Just like Dorothy and her magic red shoes saying "there's no place like home" I too am hoping that our V/M stay in their magic bubble while they are "at home". I'm getting so excited just to read the reports here at FSU and to watch it all live at home. Yeppers, there IS no place like home.
Tessa & Scott -- regardless of what the judges do or say or give, you'll always be champions to me. You're the reigning Olympic Champions! a golden couple.
On my way to practise rink to watch pairs and dance today. I'll try to post when we get back to the hotel.

Re: No Sea Trial
Makes sense to me.
Re: No Sea Trial
Ok, first off a broker works for themselves. They are happy when boats sell and they get referrals. Not many people leave a good boat deal with both sides feeling happy, but if after a while when the emotions subside, the two parties are enjoying the rewards of the trade, life is good.
When I sold my previous boat, it got old dealing with tire kickers. So when I bought my next boat i went in with a feeler email to see how motivated the seller was, then I low balled and put few restrictions (no survey or test sail) on the purchase agreement. I just asked for the boat to start and that it floated and that everything listed in the ad was there.
Do your research, and if you want to buy it, enter the negotiations well equipped with what the boat is worth and put pressure on the seller. Believe me, the market puts a lot of pressure on them anyways.
But the owner in this case owns the boat, she can do what ever she wants with it.

Re: No Sea Trial
All this advice is great. A broker listing the boat is working for the seller. The surveyors you hire should be independent, contacted and hired independently, and they are working to protect you.
So it's buyer + surveyor vs. broker + seller.
At any time, as buyer, you can walk away. Clarify that when you open your wallet or checkbook for the deposits. But be prepared to shovel out $$$ for the deposit and surveyor and if the boat is lifted, which it should be. I never really heard of a surveyor going on the sea trial, but it's an added security-measure if he obliges.
Good luck!

I've never known a broker that was authorized to act for or in place of the seller, so why would you assume they are an agent of the seller? They are the representative of the seller, they work for the seller, but they're not the seller's agent. They have no authority.
Re: No Sea Trial
My preference is to buy from a private seller, when possible. For this use Craigslist.org and sailboatlistings.com to find private sellers. I sold my boat fast on Sailboatlistings.com and can't imagine what a broker could have added other than cost.
I find that when a private seller is happy to take you out, it says a lot about his confidence in the condition of the boat.

And, again, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
A broker's job is 1. sell the boat. 2. Sell the boat for the highest dollar possible.
An effective broker will not focus on 2. to the detriment of 1.
Not all brokers are great, but the majority aren't wastrels, scam artists, thieves, grifters or general ne'er do wells.
Otherwise the profession would be much more tightly regulated...
like the legal profession.
(c'mon, I couldn't help it. )
I posit that the vast majority of brokered sales are satisfactory and hassle free. Few folks ever start a thread to give an attaboy to a broker who did his/her job well.
However, many folks will happily and loudly complain when the wheels fall off a deal, even if they are at fault, partially or completely, and, with relish, tear a strip off a broker. On every forum. Repeatedly.

A yacht broker is most certainly either an agent for the seller, an agent for the buyer, a dual agent, or, by contract, an independent contractor rendering limited, specific services in connection with a transaction and not an agent for either party, if allowed by statute. Although there are uniform laws on agency and partnership, state law will govern the licensing and duties of agents transacting business within the particular state.

Keep your $200. I would only spend 4.5 hours of my life, if I had reason to believe you were a serious buyer. Its a huge part of a work day, which may cost more. Or too much of a weekend.
The game is supply and demand. If you will only buy a boat that allows a pre-offer sea-trial, then you've defined a substantially smaller supply. That's okay, if its okay with you.
Anyhow, I appreciate your opinions. Buying a boat is new to me. I have only owned fractions.
Edit again: You're boat is probably worth a fair chunk of change, and it's the size of a house, so I understand where you're coming from. I was thinking more in the line of an average 30 footer under private sale.

How strong is the State of the Union really?
13/02/2013 , 10:25 PM by Dominic Knight
It's the centrepiece event of the US political year: the President of the United States addresses both of the Houses of Congress on "the State of the Union".
Shortly after his emphatic re-election, President Obama has been trying to solve some of the policy challenges that have bedevilled successive administrations. Gun control has taken on a new degree of urgency in the aftermath of the horrific Sandy Hook school shooting, and immigration reform remains a perennial challenge given the millions of illegal immigrants living and working in the US.
But the President does not control the numbers in the House of Representatives, where the Republicans have been steadfastly opposing just about every policy he has proposed. How successful will he be in legislating his ambitious policy platform?
I talked to Dr David Smith from the US Studies Centre at the University of Sydney to get a sense of Obama's chances of transforming America and guaranteeing himself a meaningful legacy.

Published Abstracts from Research Projects
Determination of Deer Reproductive Parameters on Ossabaw and Sapelo Islands, Georgia
Authors: John W. Bowers, Daniel Forster, and Jim Simmons
In an effort to determine breeding periodicity, ovulation incidence, and parturition frequency for isolated white-tailed deer populations on Ossabaw and Sapelo Islands, ovaries and fetuses were collected from hunter-harvested adult does (>1.5 years of age) taken during a 3-day hunt in December from 1996-2000. Fetuses were aged immediately after removal using a Forestry Suppliers Fetus Scale for White-tailed Deer based on data by Hamilton et al. (1985). Ovaries for each doe were sectioned and corpora lutea of pregnancy counted following the procedure outlined by Cheatum (1949). Fetal age and corpora lutea of pregnancy data were used to determine breeding periodicity, frequency of fertilization, ovulation incidence, and reproductive rates on the respective islands. A total of 76 and 43 sets of ovaries, and 73 and 41 fetuses were collected from Ossabaw and Sapelo, respectively. Deer on Sapelo Island experienced an earlier average conception and parturition date in all 5 years than did Ossabaw, but the difference was only significant in 2 of those years (1997 and 1998, P < 0.005). Sapelo and Ossabaw experienced a similar frequency of fertilization (0.89 and 0.81, respectively), ovulation incidence (1.21 and 1.26, respectively) and reproductive rates (1.06 and 1.05, respectively). Mitochondrial DNA assays indicate that Ossabaw and Sapelo possess unique genetic populations. Consideration of this genetic uniqueness and its interaction with environmental variables may explain the earlier conception and parturition dates experienced on Sapelo.
Presented at the 26th Annual Meeting of the Southeast Deer Study Group, February 23-26, 2003, Chattanooga, TN.

In front of a live audience, write until you drop dead. The last one writing gets a book deal.
What do you think?
Have you read The Hunger Games? I don't want to link to it lest I end up with too many people over here. Seriously.
I haven't read it or seen the film. I've decided to read the books, but doubt I'll see the movie. The idea of the story is depressing enough without adding visuals.
Anyway, I don't know why I care, but there is this argument going around the Internet that I find annoying. A friend of mine recently stated that he wasn't going to see The Hunger Games because it was a copy of Battle Royale. Copied? Was it? Well, I had to know more about that. We (as in we writers) try so hard to be original, it is maddening to see someone copy and end up with a best seller.
So I search for reviews, interviews, and whatever else. But after reading several pieces about the stories, I have to say I don't believe Suzanne Collins copied the Japanese movie. If you disagree, please keep insults to yourself.
But I find I'm really, really irritated about this whole brouhaha over nothing.
I've seen comments that go something like this, "I haven't read The Hunger Games, but I've heard it's a rip off of Battle Royale, so I'm not going to." Yes, letting hearsay form your opinions is always a good idea.
And this, "Battle Royale came out ten years ago–before The Hunger Games." Okay. Valid observation. But Collins says she never heard of Battle Royale. Is she lying? One friend said, "People will say anything for fame and money." Sure. But Collins dislikes media attention and there's nothing about her lifestyle to indicate she's all about the money. And not to point out the obvious, but if you're all about money, writing a YA novel may not be the best choice. And I don't call people liars without proof.
And until the other day I hadn't even heard of Battle Royale. Well, it's Japanese and had a limited release here in the States. I'm not sure why people assume Collins has heard of it. It's not exactly like she's said she didn't know they'd made a movie of Titanic.
I also fail to see what is so amazingly unique about Battle Royale that someone else couldn't come up with a similar idea all on her own. Am I to believe that in the whole of the world and history, only one person can come up with the idea of young people killing each other for sport? Anyone with a passing knowledge of Greek myth, Lord of the Flies, and reality TV would have a chance of imagining just such a plot. People come up with similar story ideas every single day. Anyone who writes should know this. You write something, and then–presto!–you come across something that is basically your idea. Was it stolen? No. I guess, it's unfortunate Joseph Campbell isn't around to ask about myth and collective storytelling.
And finally, am I to agree that only one version of any story can exist? If that is the case, then a lot of people better put down their pens. Battle Royale has a male lead (from what I've read about the plot). It is Japanese. So that's it? No one else can tell their perspective on such a story? You know what, Romeo and Juliet has been written, so please, no more star-crossed romances. What else. Oh, no more stories aliens invading earth. No more assassination stories. No more war stories. No more man vs nature stories. Sorry. Been done. We should have a Only-One Rule. That would save us all a lot of trouble.
Have you ever known anyone who loves a particular band until that bands gets popular. Suddenly they don't like that band anymore. They accuse the band of selling out. Or they look down at those Johnny-come-latelies as not real fans. Some smug nonsense in that. I hear a similar tone in some comments–they're so cool as to know Battle Royale before the rabble, anything else pales in comparison. I've seen a few comments by people who love BR and are angry that only is it getting more distribution here in the States. Can they be pleased that THG has given their film some attention? No.
You could also read this post about the whole kerfuffle. I found it level-headed.
I've been trying to understand why this issue bothers me so much when I've no vested interest in either. Maybe I'm worried (hopeful!) it could be me. Maybe the novel sitting in my hard drive has already been done and I don't know it. I'd like not to be raked across coals by people who don't know anything about my work or me.
What sort of literary ruckus do you care about?

I'd get it.
Hello everyone. I "want" my first handgun....I do not "need" a handgun. I have asked questions on here before about what to get, etc. After shooting several times, I find that I simply prefer the 1911 in .45acp. My cousin has a friend who needs some money and is willing to seel this for $400:
Springfield Armory 1911 (unsure of model, it is basic with fixed sites)
4 McCormick mags two in black two in SS
gun is stock as far as i know other than Wilson combat springs
Gun has black finger groove Houge grips on it
All is used but there is not a mark on this gun anywhere that I can find. I will try and get pics ASAP to post here. Thanks for the help.
Sounds like it shoots so grab it.
Sounds like a fair deal......JJ
run a check on it to see if its clean. no deal is a good one if its hot
Here are the pics that I mentioned before. It is the Mil-Spec model.
Depending on how many rounds it has down the pipe sounds like a fair deal. The transfer would have to go through an FFL so if there were any wants on it, it would show up then. If it were me, I'd jump on it.
A fair price is a price a buyer is willing to pay a seller when neither is under pressure.

A Utah man suspected in the death of a Riverton teen will get a chance at parole on unrelated kidnapping and drug convictions in 2022, Utah's Board of Pardons and Parole decided.
Daniel Robert Ferry is serving two terms of 1 to 15 years and one term of zero to 5 years in the Utah State Prison after pleading guilty to felony kidnapping and drug distribution charges in June. Ferry's terms are concurrent.
The board reviewed Ferry's case Dec. 13 and issued the decision related to his parole on Dec. 21, agency records show.
Police also suspect the 32-year-old Ferry in the March death of 15-year-old Anne Kasprzak. The teen's body was found March 11 floating in the Jordan River.
Ferry was arrested in March on outstanding traffic warrants within days of Kasprzak's death.
Another man, 30-year-old Veanuia Vehekite, also has been called a suspect in Kasprzak's death.
Jail documents filed in March say Vehekite assisted another unidentified man in removing an unconscious Kasprzak from Ferry's home. A witness told police Kasprzak was alive but unconscious when she was carried away in a tarp.
Police have said Ferry, Vehekite and the other man left the home and returned with their clothing bloodied hours later.
No charges related to Kasprzak's death have ever been filed.
