The financial community has never been under more pressure to understand its overall exposure to risk. One important strategy for managing risk is to learn not only from the internal data elements captured, but to look also at the failings of others (external data).
In this webinar, a panel of operational risk experts discuss how external data elements can assist risk managers and professionals in their operational risk programmes, particularly informing scenarios and assessments and also providing tail events for models. When integrated with an operational risk framework, these external data elements help to round out the 'view of operational risk', and the result is that organisations are better equipped to understand, identify and manage their operational risk.
The webinar will cover:
- The kinds of external data used to inform operational risk programmes
- The characteristics important in the data
- Filtering and selection processes when deciding what elements to use or include
- Frequency of refreshing or reviewing data inputs and updating models and scenarios
- What can and cannot be automated
Register for this webinar to understand how external data elements can assist risk managers and professionals in their operational risk programs.

How Obamacare Helped Crash the Economy
Obamacare did help crash the economy. Only not in the way its critics thought it would.
The Commerce Department on Wednesday revised the growth figures for the first quarter of 2014, and concluded that the economy shrunk at a 2.9 percent annual rate. This comes a month after the government slashed its initial estimate from an annual growth rate of 0.1 percent to a decline of 1.0 percent. At the time, I called it a hiccup rather than a heart attack.
That was some hiccup.
At first blush, the substantial downward revision is something of a mystery. The U.S. economy didn't suffer from any major shocks. There was no threat of default, government shutdown, huge cuts in government spending, or sharp tax increases. No major financial institution failed.
Throughout the winter and spring, companies warned that the brutal weather—the disruptive snowstorms, the arctic cold—would have a dampening effect on economic activity. And the weather definitely played a role in stalling the main engine of the U.S. economy—the American consumer.
The BEA breaks down sectors by their contribution to GDP. Personal consumption expenditures—people buying stuff—grew at a meager one percent rate in the first quarter. And that had a significant impact on businesses. When companies add to inventories—i.e., they sell stuff and then order more stuff in anticipation of higher sales down the rate—at a strong rate, it adds to GDP. When they don't restock depleted inventories, it detracts from growth. And in the first quarter, it turns out that companies didn't restock aggressively—either because traffic was slow due to the weather, or because they had ordered too much stuff the last time. Private inventories fell by a stunning 70 percent in the first quarter of 2014 from the fourth quarter of 2013. Inventories alone knocked down the rate of growth by 1.7 percent.

Slash launching film producing career with new horror film
Listen to Slash on iHeartRadio
Slash says everything about filmmaking is exciting to him.
The rocker is making his debut as a movie producer with the new film, "Nothing Left To Fear."
He tells "Rolling Stone" he's had "a passion" for movies - and especially horror films - his entire life, so he's thrilled to now be producing a horror film. And he adds that seeing "Nothing Left To Fear" hit the big screen doesn't mark the end of his efforts. Slash says he's already "hunting down" the story for his next film.
"Nothing Left To Fear" tells the story of a minister who brings his family to the small Midwestern town of Stull, Kansas. He believes he was asked to replace the retiring minister, but the situation turns out to be much more sinister.
The film is based on the actual folklore of Stull, Kansas being one of the gateways to Hell. In addition to producing the film Slash also co-wrote the score and the end theme song.
"Nothing Left To Fear" stars Anne Heche and Clancy Brown. The movie opens in a limited release Friday. The film arrives on DVD and Blu-ray on October 8th.

Cheap Trick drummer, manager, suing band
Listen to Cheap Trick on iHeartRadio
Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos and the group's manager David Frey say the other band members owe them a lot of money, and they're taking legal action to get the group to pay up.
In a suit filed this week, Carlos claims he's due hundreds of thousands of dollars stemming from an agreement with bandmates Rick Nielsen, Tom Petersson, and Robin Zander. He says he's still considered a "full member of the band," and will "continue to receive" compensation for concerts even though he's "no longer required to participate in live performances."
He further alleges that Cheap Trick is violating their agreement by barring him from in-recording sessions and making other deals without his consent.
One such deal was the termination of Frey as Cheap Trick's manager. Frey claims in the suit that while Nielsen, Petersson, and Zander supposedly fired him, his "purported termination is null and void because Carlos did not consent to it." Frey also says Cheap Trick defaulted on his personal loan to the group, which enabled them to continue their tour after losing all their equipment in the 2011 Ottawa Bluesfest stage collapse. Both Carlos and Frey want a judge to award them the money they feel they're owed, along with "other appropriate relief" from the band's "acts of self-dealing and other corporate misfeasance."

The military's new Google Glass streams TONS of futuristic battle data
Google Glass-esque headgear could soon become the newest piece of standard-issue equipment for U.S. soldiers, and give them the ability to digitally track friendly and enemy locations, display 3D maps of battlefields, and watch live video from drones — all in real-time.
United Kingdom-based BAE systems built the Q-Warrior high-tech headset to live-stream more data to soldiers than ever before, and provides a tremendous battlefield advantage by showing soldiers multi-dimensional, full-color displays of battle zones outside their fields of vision.
"It's not 10 years out from now, it's been available for a while," Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center project lead Donald Lee told Mashable. "It's just how do you do it?")

Anthony Weiner's Incredibly Shrinking Campaign for New York City Mayor
Are the wheels coming off the Weiner mobile?
It certainly looks that way, after the campaign manager of the Anthony Weiner comeback tour quit abruptly over the weekend, leaving the campaign rudderless with just six weeks until primary day.
Against a tepid New York City mayoral field, Weiner rode a tsunami of media coverage into first place in some summertime polls, but this week has brought nothing but bad news for the Weiner campaign. On Tuesday, it was revealed that his illicit communications with women online continued after he quit Congress in a sexting scandal. The tabloids have been ruthless in their mockery and have even begun to single out his wife, Huma Abedin—a longtime Hillary Clinton aide—for opprobrium. Meanwhile, national Democrats, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama campaign mastermind David Axelrod, have urged Weiner to quit the race.
Questions about Weiner's cyber-habits have turned the once-sleepy mayoral race into a spectacle, with hordes of press from around the world following Weiner at routine campaign stops. On Friday, Weiner had one campaign event, a stop on the southern tip of Staten Island, as far as reporters could possibly travel in a New York City election. He still was greeted by a phalanx of cameras and microphones, and one elderly woman, a retired assistant principal, angrily confronted him in front of the press, telling him she would have been fired for engaging in behavior like his. She also refused to shake his hand, announcing, "Who the hell knows where it's been?"

Facing Fat Test, US Troops Use ... Liposuction
(NEWSER) – Don't be surprised to see US troops lining up at your nearest plastic surgeon's office—they're probably terrified of failing the Pentagon's body fat test, the APreports. "They come in panicked about being kicked out or getting a demerit that will hurt their chances at a promotion," says a surgeon in Rockville, Md. The Pentagon's test relies on tape measurements of the waist and neck rather than the widely used body-mass index, so guys with funny-shaped bodies have a tough time passing.

World paid terrorists $105M in ransoms in 3.5 years
(NEWSER) – In the past three and a half years, terror groups tied to al-Qaeda have raked in an estimated $105 million via ransom, Britain's ambassador to the UN says—and the UN Security Council wants those payments to end. Though countries are already legally banned from making such payments, it's not clear that governments always stick to the rules, the BBC reports. So the 15-member Security Council yesterday unanimously passed a resolution pushing countries to halt the practice, though the New York Times notes the resolution is not enforceable.

Here's a brief look at the top prospects coming out of Ohio State this year, what their strengths and weaknesses are and where they might go in the draft.
Ryan Shazier, outside linebacker, junior
Height/weight: 6-foot-1, 237 pounds
2013 stats: 133 tackles, 23.5 tackles-for-loss, six sacks
Current overall prospect ranks: NFLDraftScout.com: 22nd; ESPN.com: 23rdTo read more or comment...
Browns starting defensive end Desmond Bryant is continuing his journey on the comeback trail today by participating in the second practice of the team's voluntary veteran minicamp.
Bryant, 28, underwent a cardiac ablation Dec. 6 at the Cleveland Clinic to fix an irregular heartbeat that ended his 2013 season after 12 games. He joined the Browns last year by signing a five-year, $34 million contract after spending the previous four seasons with the Oakland Raiders.
The 6-foot-6, 310-pound Bryant has been taking part in the Browns' offseason conditioning program, which began April 7, though he missed the first practice of minicamp Tuesday for a personal reason, coach Mike Pettine said.
A cardiac ablation is a procedure used to destroy a small area of heart tissue that causes rapid and irregular heartbeats, according to the American Heart Association. It usually involves inserting catheters through the groin to deliver radiofrequency energy that eliminates the disruptive tissue.To read more or comment...
Browns coach Mike Pettine met with reporters today following the first practice of the team's three-day voluntary veteran minicamp. Below is a transcript.
On the Browns' first minicamp practice: "Enjoyed it. It was a long time coming. Just getting hired in January, I had this date circled. It was a special one, and I thought the guys responded. I thought coaching-wise, we did a real good job with the organization part of it, and the players were great – great effort, flew around; made some mistakes, but very natural for it being the first day. As I like to say, we'll have a lot of coaching moments on the video tape."
On Browns QB Brian Hoyer's status: "He's been cleared to do individual work and then he's not been cleared to do team work. Just having issues with bodies flying around him, we didn't want to expose him that way. He was able to do seven-on-seven work and all the individual stuff."
On how Hoyer practiced: "I thought he looked good, and it's not a surprise because in the phase two work, we've been able to do a lot of stuff with him too. I thought he's done a great job with (Browns head athletic trainer) Joe Sheehan and getting on the rehab plan. As we said, he's ahead of schedule, and I think he proved that today, as well."To read more or comment...
Here's a brief look at a big, athletic wide receiver prospect the Browns could be targeting somewhere in the first round in Texas A&M's Mike Evans.
Mike Evans, Texas A&M, Sophomore
Height/Weight: 6-foot-5, 231 pounds
2013 stats: 69 receptions, 394 yards (20.2 average), 12 touchdownsTo read more or comment...
About seven months after suffering a season-ending knee injury, Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer looks sharp and appears to be ahead of schedule on the comeback trail.
Hoyer is participating today in the franchise's first practice of its three-day voluntary veteran minicamp under new coach Mike Pettine. Hoyer led the Browns to back-to-back wins last September before suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee Oct. 3 against the Buffalo Bills.
Hoyer, the team's incumbent starting quarterback, displayed impressive footwork and delivered crisp passes while dropping back and throwing to receivers during individual drills in the team's field house in Berea. The brace on his right knee served as the only visible reminder of his injury.
Starting defensive end Desmond Bryant was the only Browns player who wasn't in the field house during the 30 minutes of practice open to reporters. A team spokesman said Bryant has been participating in the offseason workout program after undergoing a cardiac ablation Dec. 6 at the Cleveland Clinic to fix an irregular heartbeat that ended his first season with the Browns after 12 games.To read more or comment...
Browns General Manager Ray Farmer held a pre-draft news conference today. Here is a transcript:
Opening statement: "I really just wanted to start by thanking everybody for coming out. I know that the draft is big. Everyone's excited about this opportunity for the Browns to get better. I know we are here, internally. With that, I really wanted to thank the scouts. We have guys that are on the road. The draft is a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week, 365-day-a-year job for a lot of our scouts, specifically those guys that are on the road. I wanted to definitely make a comment that I appreciate the hard work that they've put in. Specifically, I'm going to name a couple guys just because I think they went above and beyond the normal scope for us this year. (Browns college area scouts) Chisom Opara and Bobby Vega both stepped up tremendously and did, I'm going to say 'a yeoman's work' as far as what they were tasked and what they were able to accomplish this year – definitely demonstrated that they are frontline scouts and guys that can really make a difference in this organization. Also, I would be remised if I didn't thank (Browns owner) Jimmy Haslam. He's definitely given us the resources and put us in a position to have success with all of his support. He constantly ends every meeting that we have with what else can he do to support us. That appreciation from my perspective doesn't go unnoticed. The scouts are very appreciative and our coaches, as well. They've all had insight into this process, worked through countless hours of meetings, studies, interviews and time spent with players to try and unearth the right information for us to move forward with. I definitely wanted to extend those thank-yous to the people that are involved."
On if QB Vince Young at the facility today, and if he will participate in this week's minicamp: "That is 100 percent true."
On the Browns interest in Young: "The interest in Vince is that he's been productive. He's had success in the National Football League. We wanted to take the opportunity to get a chance to see what he was. We had been kind of following him through the offseason, and he had been doing some things that kind of caught our eye and made us take note and we wanted to see what that looked like in his own time frame. When the opportunity was right, minicamp seemed to be the appropriate time, then we brought him in. This may get some ears: he's not the only one."To read more or comment...
Free-agent quarterbacks Vince Young and Tyler Thigpen will participate in the Browns' voluntary veteran minicamp this week on a tryout basis, General Manager Ray Farmer said this morning during a pre-draft news conference.
The minicamp will run Tuesday through Thursday at the team's headquarters in Berea.
Brian Hoyer is coming off the torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered in his right knee last October, and Alex Tanney has never played in a regular-season NFL game. They are the only two quarterbacks on the Browns' roster, so it makes perfect sense for the team to bring in other passers for auditions during minicamp.
Young or Thigpen could earn a contract and be signed to provide depth. Of course, the Browns are also expected to add a quarterback in the draft, which will run May 8-10.To read more or comment...
Below are some highlights from Browns' General Manager Ray Farmer's news conference today in Berea. Check Ohio.com later today for more stories from Farmer's availability.
On the uncertainty of what's going to happen at three spots before Browns pick: "I feel like 1, 2, and 3 are starting to shape up in my mind. There are five options to go 1, 2, and 3. I'm starting to narrow it down, at least in my head. It's a speculation game at this point."
On Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel's dedication to football: "I don't think I have any reservations with who Johnny is. We spent a lot of time with him. He's a good young man. You don't get a handbook with how to operate in certain instances. When you go from being a kid from Tyler, Texas to being Johnny Football and winning the Heisman Trophy really quickly, they don't hand you a manual and tell you how to handle the media swarm, paparazzi, how to handle people coming up to you at dinners. He would tell you it's probably not how he would have written it up, but you live and you learn. There's good things ahead for him. It's how do you handle it when he gets to his new destination."
On Manziel as a player: "He's different. He's not the quintessential guy who everybody points to and says, 'This is how you would draw it up, this is the packaging you want.' That speaks to a lot of what Johnny has been his entire life, is different. It's not how you think about playing the position and being effective from the pocket."To read more or comment...
Quarterback Vince Young will take a physical today with the Browns and participate in the team's voluntary veteran minicamp this week on a tryout basis, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Sports in Houston reported this morning.
Young, 30, hasn't played in an NFL regular-season game since 2011. He spent parts of the 2012 and 2013 offseasons with the Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers, respectively.
The third overall pick in the 2006 draft, Young has a career record of 31-19 as an NFL starter. He made the Pro Bowl in 2006 and 2009.
Brian Hoyer, who's coming off the torn ACL he suffered in his right knee last October, and Alex Tanney, who has never played in a regular-season NFL game, are the only quarterbacks on the Browns' active roster, so it makes perfect sense for the team to invite another passer to minicamp. Of course, the Browns are also expected to add a quarterback in the draft, which will run May 8-10.To read more or comment...
Here's a brief look at the possible quarterback targets that aren't named Manziel, Bortles, Bridgewater or Carr. And we begin this post with perhaps the draft's fastest rising prospect, Pittsburgh quarterback Tom Savage.

The Browns named Dr. Jamil Northcutt their new director of player engagement today.
Northcutt spent the past six years as assistant athletics director for internal operations at the University of Mississippi. He also was the Kansas City Chiefs' player development coordinator from 2005-08.
Browns General Manager Ray Farmer was the Chiefs' director of pro personnel from 2006-12, so he worked with Northcutt in Kansas City.
"Jamil has no dearth of knowledge," Farmer said. "His role is to support our players, so he's a very important hire. Not only does he bring experience in the field of NFL player engagement, he's also going to be a very positive influence in our community. He's the kind of person we want representing our organization. He's an all-around Browns fit. The core of the man is excellence."
Northcutt played football at Ole Miss and has three degrees from the university. He earned his bachelor's degree in exercise science in May 2003 and his master's in higher education and administration in December 2004. He completed his doctorate in higher education (administration) in August 2013.To read more or comment...

Click here for an updated version of this story: WKYC executive says TV station will stick with decision to remove former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar as preseason color commentator
Former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar believes the team and WKYC ousted him Wednesday as the color commentator for their preseason game broadcasts because of his slurred speech that he attributes to concussions he suffered as a player.
Kosar made the assertion in a statement released this morning and expressed hope that WKYC would reconsider the decision to remove him from the broadcast booth.
Solomon Wilcots will replace Kosar as an analyst during preseason games, and Jim Donovan will remain the play-by-play man, the Browns and WKYC announced Wednesday. The Browns also said they're discussing potential new roles with Kosar that could include appearances on their website, radio shows and the pregame telecasts for preseason games.To read more or comment...

Veteran commentator Solomon Wilcots will fill Kosar's former role. Jim Donovan will remain the play-by-play man.

Considering the attention Texas A&M star Johnny Manziel receives from the media, he should be named the grand marshal of the quarterback parade marching through Berea to visit the Browns this week.
Manziel begins his previously reported pre-draft visit with the Browns today, and it'll continue Thursday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported this morning. Manziel also conducted a private workout for the Browns this past Saturday.
Otherwise known as "Johnny Football," Manziel is a presumed candidate to be drafted fourth overall by the Browns on May 8. Other top-rated quarterbacks like Central Florida's Blake Bortles and Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater visited the Browns earlier this week, according to reports, and Fresno State's Derek Carr is in town and set to visit the team Thursday.
But it's not just the projected first-round quarterbacks visiting the Browns. Ball State's Keith Wenning wrote on Twitter he would meet with the Browns today. Alabama's AJ McCarron and Georgia's Aaron Murray are also on the list of visitors for this week.To read more or comment...
Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron is on a mission to convince the NFL that he has been underrated throughout the pre-draft process.
The Browns are receiving his sales pitch. They're conducting a private workout with McCarron today, and he'll visit the team's headquarters next week, a league source confirmed for the Beacon Journal this morning. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because the Browns aren't revealing their itinerary for pre-draft workouts and visits.
If the Browns don't draft a quarterback fourth overall on May 8, they'll certainly target one, if not two, later. They have 10 picks, including five in the first three rounds and seven in the first four rounds.
NFLDraftScout.com projects McCarron as a third- or fourth-round pick, though he has a much higher opinion of himself.To read more or comment...
Cleveland Browns beat writer Nate Ulrich is back on the Akron Beacon Journal and Ohio.com podcast this week talking about the signing of fullback Chris Pressley. Does it change the offense or make it more all-weather like head coach Mike Pettine prefers? He also breaks down the Alex Mack contract and if the team's draft plan is any clearer.To read more or comment...
Browns Pro Bowl center Alex Mack is relieved the drama caused by his contract situation ended last week.
Mack met with reporters today at the team's headquarters to discuss the resolution of the ordeal.
After failing to strike a long-term deal with Mack, the Browns placed a transition tag on him last month to prevent him from hitting the open market as an unrestricted free agent. The Jacksonville Jaguars signed Mack to a five-year, $42 million offer sheet on Friday, but the Browns didn't hesitate to match it and retain him.
Mack's new deal includes $26 million guaranteed and gives him the right to void the contract and become a free agent after the 2015 season. The contract was designed to ensure Mack, 28, would not be susceptible to being tagged if he voids the deal after two seasons, and it also contains a no-trade provision. He is scheduled to make $18 million guaranteed in the first two years, and another $8 million guaranteed if he stays with the Browns for a third season.To read more or comment...

The Browns have signed Chris Pressley, a traditional fullback they hope will pave the way for running back Ben Tate, an NFL source told the Beacon Journal this morning, speaking on condition of anonymity because the move had yet to be announced.
The Browns later announced the signing this afternoon. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
The 5-foot-10, 249-pound Pressley spent the 2011 and 2012 seasons as the Cincinnati Bengals' No. 1 fullback. However, he suffered a season-ending knee injury Dec. 13, 2012, against the Philadelphia Eagles and did not appear in a game last season.To read more or comment...
Transition-tagged Pro Bowl center Alex Mack has signed a five-year, $42 million offer sheet from the Jacksonville Jaguars today, as expected, a league source confirmed for the Beacon Journal, speaking on condition of anonymity because the terms of the deal were not announced.
ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the news. The Jaguars later announced Mack had signed their offer sheet, which was subsequently submitted to the NFL.
The Browns have five days, or until 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, to match the offer. If they match, Mack will return to Cleveland under the terms of the deal crafted by his lead agent, Marvin Demoff, and the Jaguars.
The Browns are expected to match the offer, Schefter and ProFootballTalk.com reported Thursday.To read more or comment...
To match or not to match? That is the question the Browns face because transition-tagged Pro Bowl center Alex Mack agreed to terms on an offer sheet from the Jacksonville Jaguars and will sign the five-year deal by Friday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday.
Once Mack signs the offer sheet, the Browns will have five days to match it, and, according to Schefter, the organization won't hesitate to do so. If the Browns match the offer sheet, Mack will return to Cleveland under the terms of the deal constructed by his lead agent, Marvin Demoff, and the Jaguars.
Citing an unnamed source, Schefter reported this morning that the Browns figure to match the offer sheet "in no time at all." ProFootballTalk.com also reported "the Browns will likely match the offer."

The NFL Draft is still about a month away, but the Browns' new regime will face a crucial decision this week that will affect the organization for years to come.
Browns transition-tagged Pro Bowl center Alex Mack will sign a five-year offer sheet from the Jacksonville Jaguars by Friday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported today. The deal will be designed to make it as difficult as possible for the Browns to match because Mack wants to play for the Jaguars instead of returning to Cleveland, according to the report.
Once Mack signs the offer sheet, the Browns will have five days to match it.

New Browns wide receiver Nate Burleson is a self-proclaimed "social butterfly," so it's not surprising that he went into great detail while discussing several topics Monday during a 20-minute conference call with beat writers.
Our story for Tuesday's newspaper focuses on the leadership Burleson promises to provide the Browns.
But leadership is hardly the only subject Burleson addressed. Below are some other highlights from the conversation.
Burleson visited the Miami Dolphins last week before meeting with the Browns on Saturday. Was there any hesitation on Burleson's part to join the Browns because of the firing of coach Rob Chudzinski after he spent just one season on the job and all of the turnover the franchise has undergone?: "No, there wasn't. I left Miami and at the time I was leaving Miami, they showed some interest. I have some great relationships over there. I sat there and I told them this is a football decision. So from a football standpoint, I have to go take this trip to Cleveland, plain and simple. And that was just me thinking as a football player. And I'm glad that I did. I was able to sit down and talk with everybody from the GM down to the receivers coach, had dinner with the head coach. Just got a great feel for what they're trying to do. And I think they understood what I wanted to do, and that was win games. At this point in my career, I can either look at it two ways. Year 12, I can say I want to get as many touchdowns and catches as I can, or I can say I want to be productive in a winning program. Injuries have kind of hurt my success over the last couple years in Detroit. In a half season I put up over 400 yards. I'm trying to give Cleveland a healthy Nate Burleson, and a healthy Nate Burleson in 16 games can tap dance around 1,000 yards easily. But more importantly, I can move the chains. Any team can utilize a guy that can move the chains. With the features that they already have and with some of these young guns that they have on this team, I'm just a guy that wants to be a part of it. I'm not going to come in and try to be the man. I just want to be one of the guys that's part of a great winning program."To read more or comment...
Browns General Manager Ray Farmer released a statement today about the addition of wide receiver Nate Burleson. On Sunday night, Burleson and the Browns reached an agreement on a one-year contract.
Here is Farmer's statement:
"We're happy to welcome Nate to the Browns locker room and family. We added Nate because we believe he can play like a Brown, with the added veteran presence that can help young players reach their potential. He's a pro's pro. He's the quality-character person that understands the NFL from all angles and sides. He can play, which is evident in his beginning to last season prior to missing time, with production and value. He will improve our roster and overall competition at the wide-receiver position.
"Like we've said all along, improving the competition at each position and adding pillars to the roster are important to us. We want guys that embody the needed traits, players who are passionate, tough, relentless, productive, instinctive and competitive -- all of which symbolize what it means to play like a Brown. Nate has competed to earn his opportunities and we're excited to have him join the Browns."To read more or comment...
Nate Burleson has been the butt of many pizza-delivery jokes, but the Browns won't care as long as he delivers for them.
The Browns struck a deal tonight on a one-year contract with Burleson, his agent, Ken Sarnoff, said. The team later confirmed an agreement had been reached. Financial terms were not immediately disclosed.
With the move, the Browns bolstered the depth of their receiving corps and added someone they hope can mentor All-Pro Josh Gordon. The 6-foot, 198-pound Burleson visited the Miami Dolphins last week before traveling to Cleveland and meeting with the Browns on Saturday.
Burleson, 32, spent the past four seasons with the Detroit Lions. Burleson, who also played for the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings, has started 103 of the 135 regular-season games in which he has appeared. However, injuries have limited him to only 15 games with 13 starts the last two seasons.To read more or comment...
Browns Pro Bowl center Alex Mack visited the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday, and there are ongoing conversations between the two sides, a league source confirmed today, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the situation.
Mack, 28, had dinner with Jaguars General Manager David Caldwell and coach Gus Bradley on Friday night, the Florida Times-Union reported. He left this morning.
After failing to reach a long-term deal with Mack, the Browns placed a transition tag on him in March. If Mack signs the tag, he'll play for the Browns next season under a one-year, $10.039 million deal that would make him the highest-paid center in the NFL by about $2 million.To read more or comment...
Free-agent wide receiver Nate Burleson is visiting the Browns today at their headquarters, a team spokesman confirmed.
Burleson also recently visited the Miami Dolphins, according to several reports.
The 6-foot, 198-pound Burleson, 32, spent the past four seasons with the Detroit Lions. Injuries have limited him to only 15 games with 13 starts the last two seasons.
This past season, Burleson caught 39 passes for 461 yards and a touchdown. His season was interrupted in September by a bizarre, headline-grabbing injury that forced him to miss seven games. Burleson suffered a broken arm in a one-car accident caused by his attempt to keep a pizza he'd purchased from sliding off the passenger seat. The Lions stated there was no alcohol involved.To read more or comment...

Burleson, 32, is scheduled to visit the Browns on Saturday, a league source confirmed this afternoon. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because the team won't confirm a visit until it happens.

The Browns are conducting a private workout today with Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles, a league source confirmed this afternoon.
The source spoke on condition of anonymity because the Browns are not revealing their itinerary for private workouts leading up to the draft, which will run May 8-10.
Many draft analysts consider Bortles the top-rated quarterback and believe the Houston Texans could pick him No. 1 overall.
The Browns, of course, are also in the market for a quarterback. They'll likely nab one with one of two first-round picks (Nos. 4 and 26 overall) or with their choice early in the second round (No. 35 overall).To read more or comment...

The Browns missed a hell of a show when they skipped Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel's pro day last week, but they were in attendance today for another impressive and notable workout.

The Washington Redskins and former Philadelphia Eagles three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson agreed to terms on a three-year contract late Tuesday night, ESPN and NFL Network reported.
The deal is reportedly worth $24 million and includes $16 million guaranteed.
The Browns think Jackson is a good player and did homework on him, but they didn't appear to be serious suitors despite reports to the contrary.
NBC Washington sports anchor Diana Russini reported Tuesday afternoon that the Browns were "going hard" after Jackson "with [an] offer." ESPN.com's John Keim reported Tuesday night that the Browns had "serious interest" in Jackson.To read more or comment...
As expected, the Browns will perform a pre-draft double dip with Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr.
Carr is scheduled to visit the Browns in late April at their headquarters, he revealed today during an interview with Cleveland.com. The draft will run May 8-10.
The Browns recently began their tour of private workouts with quarterbacks by dining with Carr on Sunday night and working him out on Monday in Fresno, Calif.
In an interview Monday night on Sirius XM NFL Radio's Late Hits, Carr said the Browns sent a contingent composed of General Manager Ray Farmer, coach Mike Pettine, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains to meet with him.To read more or comment...
A sports anchor based in Washington, D.C., reported the Browns are pursuing former Philadelphia Eagles three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson, but the Washington Redskins might not let him get away.
NBC Washington's Diana Russini reported today the Browns "are going hard with [an] offer" after Jackson. Russini also reported the San Francisco 49ers have thrown their hat in the ring for Jackson and that he'll visit the 49ers Wednesday if he doesn't sign with the Redskins today.
As many as nine teams, including the Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills, reportedly expressed interest in Jackson after the Eagles cut him Friday amid questions about his off-field behavior and alleged connections to Los Angeles street gangs. The Eagles had reportedly been trying to trade him before they severed ties with little explanation.
But Jackson has visited only one team – the Redskins. ESPN.com reported Jackson had dinner with Redskins coach Jay Gruden and other members of the staff Monday night before meetings with the organization today at its facility.To read more or comment...

IRS posted thousands of Social Security numbers on website
The Internal Revenue Service unwittingly released thousands of Social Security numbers, according to the government transparency group Public.Resource.org.
Members of nonprofit political organizations known as 527s were the victims as the IRS published highly sensitive information to a public database that reports the transactions of these groups.
Public.Resource.org founder Carl Malamud received a phone call and subsequent email from the IRS on June 18 ordering him to delete the information contained in business income tax return forms called 990-Ts, which Malamud received in mid-February. Public.Resource.org reposts publicly available government data in bulk.
Although the data was deleted the following day, the public domain site further investigated the extent of the problem. It determined that there were eight distinct privacy breaches, including the exposure of at least 2,319 Social Security numbers.

Lady Gaga & Taylor Kinney slam breakup rumors
Listen Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Rumors of a breakup between Lady Gaga and her actor boyfriend Taylor Kinney aren't holding much weight after the two were caught packing on the PDA Sunday.
According to "Us Weekly," Taylor attended the YouTube Music Awards with Gaga, and the couple was seen kissing backstage during the show, which included an emotional performance from the singer.
It was British tabloid "The Sun" that initially reported that the two had called it quits because Taylor couldn't handle Gaga's "insane workload" and "alter-egos." The actor was also photographed attending a World Series game with his "Chicago Fire" co-star Brittany Curran.
Gaga and Taylor have been together for two years. However, Sunday's award show was the first time they had been seen publicly together since August.

Bank's 'spy novel' tactics did US tax dodgers' billions
(NEWSER) – Swiss bank Credit Suisse helped thousands of Americans keep as much as $12 billion in assets tucked away from the eyes of the IRS, a Senate report out yesterday alleges—and the bank used some unconventional techniques in the process, including once hiding bank statements in a copy of Sports Illustrated. TheNew York Times details other methods allegedly used by the bank between 2001 and 2008: The report claims it opened accounts for American customers in the name of offshore shell entities; pushed Americans to visit Switzerland to do their banking, with help from a code-named office at the Zurich airport; dodged paper trails by sending staffers to the US; and even operated a remote-control elevator with no buttons in one of its offices. Indeed, senators refer to "cloak-and-dagger schemes that belong in a spy novel," the Guardian notes.

Bracing for scoliosis is somewhat controversial as a method of treatment. It doesn't work with every child and evidence is mixed about its effectiveness. A brace is generally recommended for scoliosis curves that are greater than 20°-25° and less than 40º-50°, and only if your child is still growing. Braces are worn in an effort to stop the spine from progressing to greater degrees of curvature. While they will not improve the current degree of scoliosis, they may prevent progression that could lead to a need for surgery.
Your child will be asked to wear the brace for 16 to 23 hours a day, and will be given special exercises to maintain lung function.
Bracing may not be helpful in girls who have had their period for more than a year, in children who have attained full growth, or are within one year of full pelvic bone growth. At this point, it's thought that the degree of scoliosis will be stable. If the degree of scoliosis continues to progress despite the brace, surgery may be advised if the curvature reaches approximately 40° to 50°.
It can be awkward to wear these braces. They are uncomfortable and hot, and many adolescents feel embarrassed about appearing so different. If your child has difficulty adjusting to the brace, talk to the doctor about how they can build up tolerance for it.
Types of braces include:
This brace covers the entire torso. It has an area to rest the chin and a headrest for the back of the head. One flat bar travels down the front, and two flat bars travel down the back. This type of brace is used for scoliosis occurring at any point along the spine.
This brace is a bit less chunky and noticeable than the Milwaukee brace. It does not extend up under the chin or behind the head. Instead, it stays under the arms and wraps around the back, rib cage, lower back, and hips.
This is a brace that is worn only at night. Questions remain about its effectiveness.
Researchers are still looking into this new type of brace that consists of a cotton vest and adjustable bands. Its effectiveness is still being evaluated.

Is John Mayer preparing to propose to Katy Perry?
Listen to John Mayer on iHeartRadio | Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio
John Mayer may finally be ready to settle down.
According to Us Weekly, a source close to the singer says John is preparing to pop the question to girlfriend Katy Perry. The source says everyone close to John knows that it's no longer a question of 'if,' but "a question of when."
Apparently the two are realizing that they "must be together" after spending time apart as Katy continues a busy promotion schedule for her latest release Prism.
Another source says Katy and John "Skype and text all day" whenever they are in different parts of the world.
Katy also recently accompanied John to his brother Carl's wedding in New York. The two have been a couple for over a year, following a brief split earlier this year.

WATCH: Queen Latifah as 'Sweet Brown' in Jimmy Kimmy video
Queen Latifah stars as Internet meme Sweet Brown in a post-Oscars movie spoof on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" that also features Barkhad Abdi as a young Barack Obama and Adam Driver as Steve Jobs.
Back in 2012, Brown's interview on local news after an apartment complex fire in Oklahoma became an online sensation — especially her catch phrase "Ain't nobody got time for that!" and her penchant for "cold pop."
In Kimmel's hands, Brown becomes a time-traveling, history-altering force of nature.
Of course, Matt Damon is also involved.
Check out the hilarious video below!

Man Finds Giant Wasps' Nest in Bed
Listen to Black and Yellow Radio on iHeartRadio
(NEWSER) – A British man visiting his mother discovered her spare bedroom was already in use—by thousands of wasps that had chewed up the mattress and pillows to make a 3-foot-wide nest on the bed.
Pest controller John Birkett says a small window in the bedroom had been left open and the wasps had been at work for at least three months. "It was like the horror film Birds but [with] wasps," he tells ABC, saying the infestation in Hampshire, England, was the biggest wasps' nest—and the strangest incident—in his 45 years in the business.

Why the Shutdown is a Republican Victory
The news from Washington is all about President Obama's impending triumph in the government shutdown/debt ceiling standoff. "Boehner Blinks," declared a recent headline in The Washington Post. "Republicans," explained ABC's Jonathan Karl, "are working out the terms of their surrender."
If this is Republican surrender, I hope I never see Republican victory.
To understand how upside down the current media analysis is, you need to go back a couple of years. In 2011, with Republicans threatening to provoke a debt default, President Obama signed the Budget Control Act of 2011, which cut government spending by $917 billion over 10 years. The agreement also created a congressional "supercommittee" charged with finding additional cuts. If the committee failed to do so, cuts totaling $1.2 trillion over ten years would kick in automatically at the end of 2012, via a process called "sequestration."
Traditionally in Washington, budget compromises had meant Democrats agreeing to cut domestic spending and Republicans agreeing to raise taxes. But by raising the specter of default, Republicans had changed the equation. In the Budget Control Act, taxes weren't raised a dime. Democrats compromised by cutting spending and Republicans "compromised" by agreeing not to let America default on its debt and provoke a global financial crisis.
Not surprisingly, conservatives liked the deal more than liberals. In the House, Republicans backed it by a margin of almost three to one while Democrats split evenly. "Is this the deal I would have preferred? No," Obama admitted. By contrast, House Speaker John Boehner boasted, "I got 98 percent of what I wanted."
Fast forward to the beginning of this year. Despite months of negotiations, the supercommittee failed to reach an agreement, and so this March, automatic sequester cuts kicked in. (In between, Congress did raise some revenue by not extending the Bush tax cuts for individuals making over $400,000 a year). If Democrats disliked the 2011 Budget Control Act, they disliked its bastard stepchild, the sequester, even more. In his 2013 State of the Union address, Obama calls the sequester cuts: "harsh" and "arbitrary" and warned that they would "devastate priorities like education, energy and medical research" and "cost us hundreds of thousands of jobs."
Republicans, being less supportive of federal spending on things like "education, energy and medical research," were more supportive of the sequester. Indeed, as recently as last month, GOP leaders described locking in the sequester cuts—via a "clean" continuing resolution (CR) that extended them into 2014—as a major victory. In a memo to fellow Republicans on September 6, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor boasted that by "signing a CR at sequester levels, the President would be endorsing a level of spending that wipes away all the increases he and Congressional Democrats made while they were in charge and returns us to a pre-2008 level of discretionary spending."

Information from your City Offices | Public Announcements | Meetings/Events this Week | Things Happening Around our Community
Get Emergency Alerts! - Register your Cell Phone or VoIP Number
On January 26, the Sausalito Police Department will be partnering with the Marin County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Services to launch the new Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS).
What is TENS: TENS is a high-speed communications system that can quickly notify members of the public by phone of critical emergency information in situations where property or human life is in danger. These notifications are made to specific geographically affected areas. TENS makes emergency calls to landlines and to registered cell phones.
In the event of an emergency, wherever you are, don't miss the critical call with information or instructions from the Marin County Office of Emergency Services. If you live, work or go to school in Marin County, and if you are 18 and over, you can receive these emergency alerts on your CELL PHONE by text, email and voice, and by your VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone. To receive alerts, you must register on the secure website portal: http://www.alertmarin.org. Cell phone numbers are NOT in the system UNTIL you register them. Need a computer to sign up? Go to any Public Library for free computer use.
So where will you be when an emergency strikes? Will you be near your landline phone to receive the call with critical information or directions? While many of us have landlines, nearly all of us have cell phones. And there is a growing number of us who have cell phones but no landline phones! Please take the time to register!
Is your Residence Equipped with a Security Camera?
The Sausalito Police Department was recently able to identify a vehicle used in the commission of a crime by viewing the security camera footage from a Glen Drive residence. The Sausalito Police Department is interested in creating a database of residences that are similarly equipped with a security camera system in order to better identify suspicious persons or vehicles that may travel through your neighborhood. If a crime did occur in your neighborhood, the Sausalito Police Department may ask to view your security camera footage to help solve the crime.
If you have a camera system, the Sausalito Police Department is interested to know:
The Sausalito Police Department wants to thank you in advance for taking the time to respond to this flier.

2013 Sewer Rate Allocation Study - Fresh Look at Calculating Sewer Charges
The Sausalito-Marin City Sanitary District has retained an independent consultant to evaluate its method for allocating sewer service charges among its residential and commercial customers. The District is undertaking a study to determine sewer flows and costs between different classes of users: single-family residential, multi-family, commercial, and others. To help inform and educate the community, several public meetings will be held over the next few months as the study progresses toward a Board decision regarding potential changes to the rate structure and rates.
The District will ensure that information is made available as the study unfolds through mailings, the press, public meetings and the web.
6:30 p.m.
City of Sausalito - City Council Chambers

The second meeting will look at potential sewer rate structure alternatives. Current surveys indicate that a variety of methods are used by agencies to calculate fixed and flow based wastewater sewer charges. The second meeting will be based on Technical Memorandum #2 (TM2). This part of the study will develop alternative rate structures that may be considered by the District and evaluate the impact, both on the District and on customers.

Report: Jennifer Lopez close to 'American Idol' deal
Listen to Jennifer Lopez on iHeartRadio
Jennifer Lopez is reportedly inching towards a deal to return to "American Idol." A source tells "People" the superstar is "very close" to signing a deal with Fox, and both parties are "very happy" and "want it to happen very much."
The source also knocked down recent reports that Lopez had been rejected by "Idol's" rival show "The Voice." Earlier this week it had been rumored that NBC has turned down the star when she approached them about both performing and becoming a coach.
Apparently, it was NBC who asked Lopez to perform on its finale earlier this year, and she was the one who turned them down due to "scheduling conflicts."
The source adds that Lopez wants to return to "Idol" so she can spend more time with her family and pursue acting projects now that her world tour is over.

A recently-surfaced videotape is reportedly uncovering a whole new side of Johnny Carson his estate would rather keep under wraps. TMZ cites "multiple sources" who say a sex tape from the 1970s, starring the late "Tonight Show" host and one of his wives, is being shopped around to private collectors. The owner of the tape reportedly approached Carson's estate last fall to make a deal for the footage but the estate threatened to sue if the racy tape was ever sold. With that threat looming, the owner is shopping it to private collectors instead of a porn distributor.
Although the late night comedian was notoriously private about his personal life, a recent tell-all book written by Carson's longtime lawyer Henry Bushkin reveals a rather copious side of "Carnac." Carson retired from show business in 1992. He died in 2005 at the age of 79.

Avril Lavigne ranked most famous Canadian of all time
Listen to Avril Lavigne on iHeartRadio
Avril Lavigne's impact on the charts has weakened in recent years, but there's no denying that she's still one of the most successful female artists of the past decade. In fact, she's so successful that she's just been ranked as the most famous of all time Canadian by MIT.
Researchers for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology collected data on Canadians from 4,000 B.C. to 2010 who had a Wikipedia entry under their name in more than 25 languages, and found that the "Complicated" songstress was history's most famous Canadian.
Avril beat some seriously stiff competition to take home the title, including Pamela Anderson, Celine Dion, Jim Carrey, and Justin Bieber. You can take a look at the top ten below.
1. Avril Lavigne
2. Jim Carrey

SHOCK VIDEO: Planned Parenthood Schools Underage Girls In Violent Sex
Planned Parenthood staffers are using taxpayer money to instruct underage girls in dangerous and violent sex practices — including whipping, bondage and choking, according to a new video released by the anti-abortion group Live Action Tuesday.
The uncensored footage obtained by The Daily Caller shows staffers telling investigators posing as underage girls to experiment with violent sex play in response to generic questions about sex.
Staffers at two clinics in Colorado explain to the investigators that a variety of painful sex acts — including biting, chaining, gagging, whipping, choking, using nipple clamps, and more — are completely safe and normal so long as they have "open communication" with their partners.

Jennifer Lopez & Pitbull perform at World Cup
Listen to Jennifer Lopez on iHeartRadio | Listen to Pitbull on iHeartRadio
The World Cup is underway with the help of a star-studded opening ceremony featuring Jennifer Lopez, rapper Pitbull and Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte.
The three kicked off the festivities in Sao Paulo, Brazil, performing their official FIFA anthem "We Are One (Olé Ola)."
The trio made an entrance on a lotus-shaped platform at the center of the field, surrounded by groups of dancers in costume. The dancers were dressed as robot-inspired soccer balls, colorful plants, and decked out head-to-toe in the Brazilian team's colors of green and yellow. Taking turns at center stage for the brief song, Jennifer, Pitbull and Claudia pumped up the crowd by waving their arms back and forth.
J. Lo's appearance comes after a week of speculation and conflicting reports about her appearance at the opening. In the midst of promoting her new album A.K.A., the superstar assured fans just days before that she wouldn't miss out on the much-anticipated World Cup opener.
