Barton Seaver
Chef and Conservationist
Fellow (2010-2014)

Barton Seaver is a chef who has dedicated his career to restoring the relationship we have with our ocean. It is his belief that the choices we are making for dinner are directly impacting the ocean and its fragile ecosystems.
Seaver has manned the helm of some of Washington, D.C.'s most acclaimed restaurants. In doing so, he brought the idea of sustainable seafood to the nation's capitol while earning Esquire magazine's 2009 "Chef of the Year" status from acclaimed food writer John Mariani.
A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Seaver has cooked in cities all over America and the world. Having been bitten by the travel bug, Seaver found work in southern Spain at a small family restaurant. Their casual, ingredient-based cooking style would prove to be an important influence in his perception of food as an essential part of community. When the off-season arrived, Seaver hopped on a boat to Morocco and landed in the small seaside village of Essaouira. There, he took part in generations-old fishing methods, becoming a part of a community whose survival was directly linked to the oceans. This had a huge impact on his belief that sustainability is, at its root, not only an ecological matter, but also a humanitarian one.
While sustainability has largely been assigned to seafood and agriculture, Barton's work expands far beyond the dining table to encompass socio-economic and cultural issues. Locally, he pursues solutions to these problems through D.C. Central Kitchen, an organization fighting hunger not with food, but with personal empowerment, job training, and life skills.
Barton has been lauded as a leader in sustainability by the Seafood Choices Alliance and was named a fellow with the Blue Ocean Institute. Barton has joined the board of Harvard Medical School's Center for Health and the Global Environment. Together with National Geographic, the Center is partnering with hospitals and health care providers in the Greater Boston area to educate them about healthier and more sustainable food service opportunities.
He is the author of For Cod And Country (Sterling, Spring 2011), a book of recipes that inspires ocean conservation through the experience that we all share—dinner. In addition, Barton is working on television and online shows that will engage consumers by telling stories everyone can relate to, whether they are preparing a meal or preparing to eat it.

In Their Words
"There's this scientific approach to sustainability. And then there's a human one. You start talking about fish, and it's automatically some empirical formula which takes a Ph.D. to understand. I'm not trying to save the fish. I'm trying to save dinner."
Barton Seaver quoted in Washington Post

Hear various interviews with Seaver on National Geographic Weekend.
00:06:00 Barton Seaver
National Geographic Fellow, chef Barton Seaver, talks about his recent trip to Switzerland, and his surprising discovery that the country, famous for its chocolates and watches, is now growing a reputation for its caviar and tropical fruits as well. Seaver explains how a thermal spring is used to grow sturgeon fish and bananas in the Alps.
00:08:00 Barton Seaver
National Geographic Fellow Barton Seaver is a renowned chef and sustainable seafood advocate. Seaver joins Boyd in the studio to talk about menhaden, a special species of fish, and why pigs shouldn't go fishing.
00:06:00 Barton Seaver
Yes you can—with the can! Chef and National Geographic Fellow Barton Seaver joins Boyd to talk about canned seafood. It can be sustainable and tasty, according to Seaver, who shares an easy canned seafood recipe.
National Geographic Fellow, chef Barton Seaver, may sing the praise of canned seafood, but, for Boyd, the idea brings back memories of food poisoning in Africa.
00:08:00 Barton Seaver
Barton Seaver, National Geographic Fellow, and chef, is all about eating locally and seasonally. According to Seaver, "There's a time and a place for things." A fresh, great tasting peach is only right in the warm summer months, while in season. That being said, he encourages people not be "caged in by this philosophy." Frozen foods, despite the stigma that many people have for them, are often frozen at peak ripeness and thus preserve all of their nutrients. These are affordable, and healthy to have during the off-season months. As Boyd so elegantly wraps up "Eat it fresh in season, eat it frozen out of season."
00:11:00 Barton Seaver: Alaskan Fishing
National Geographic fellow Barton Seaver loves to fish. He joined Boyd to chat about a recent trip to Alaska to observe the effects of the controversial proposed Pebble Mine and its possible effects on the area's fisheries and the local salmon run. And while he was in the neighborhood, he couldn't resist dipping his rod into the Stuyahok River, catching and releasing his way from the mountains, down through the tundra, and into the forests where he met some delicious salmon. Seaver left Boyd a Grilled Alaskan Salmon with Tarragon Butter recipe to try, rather than using the bear spray to add spice to the fillets, (a staple of Boyd's cookbook).

LISTEN: Tom Odell - Another Love (Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman Remix)
Swedish duo Dimitri Vangelis and Wyman have a ton of new music on the way. Aside from a collaboration with AN21, "Rebel," which made its debut on Steve Angello's Essential Mix, the guys are back with a new remix. The two have put their touch on British singer/songwriter Tom Odell's "Another Love."
The remix preserves some of the piano and Odell's vocals, but surrounds them with a dynamic build, and kicks the melody up, resulting in an animated take on the Tom Odell's original.
The release date has not yet been announced. Listen below:

The NFL can exist without Ray Lewis. For all but the last 17 seasons, the league managed to deliver its quotient of crazy-eyed charisma, ultraviolence and high-intensity linebackering without his help. But with Lewis's announcement on Wednesday that he plans to retire from the game after the playoffs, NFL fans are faced with the prospect of imagining the NFL without the man who has been one of the best defensive players of his era, and arguably of any era, and perhaps the league's defining personality.
"He was connected to one of the darkest moments in league history—a double-homicide in the hours just after a Super Bowl was played—and has become a symbol of the game's greatness," Yahoo's Jason Cole writes (referring to a crime to which Lewis pled guilty to a misdemeanor obstruction of justice charge – Lewis denied any direct connection to the larger crime). "Lewis is a star who transcended his team. He's symbolized the Ravens, first and foremost. But he also symbolized the game, from its violent nature to its parable about overcoming adversity."
And then there's Lewis himself, whose signature intensity made him somehow more and more valuable than his (considerable) on-field achievements can quantify. Yahoo's Michael Silver spent a Ravens game standing near the then-injured Lewis on Baltimore's sideline, and paints a portrait of a player whose engagement with and commitment to the game was uncommonly total. "There are warriors, and there are leaders—and there are leaders among leaders," Silver writes. "It's quite possible that Lewis, in addition to being the greatest defensive player of his generation, impacts the emotional states of those around him like no one who has ever donned a pair of shoulder pads."
Considering that Lewis has managed to go from being one of the NFL's more widely reviled bad guys to a broadly respected elder statesman, it's easy enough to imagine him making a smooth transition to whatever comes next. The exact nature of Lewis' next step, though, at least beyond Baltimore's date with the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, remains something of a mystery. Several months ago, the Journal's Kevin Clark discovered that Lewis is more than happy to make motivational speeches for any occasion, and he could always spend some time to watching his son play football for the University of Miami. Neither is it difficult to imagine Lewis firing up locker rooms—or lighting up television sets, or proving surprisingly agile on "Dancing With the Stars"—in years to come. At the very least, it's a lot easier than imagining what the NFL might be like without his distinct, peculiar and undeniably indelible presence.
(And speaking of the NFL playoffs, be sure to check out the Journal's NFL Playoff Dossiers to find out which team in this postseason is actually statistically worse than the 4-12 Lions.)

It's not like there isn't other college football to talk about. But after a few soupy weeks of Beef 'O' Brady's ball, we're now squarely in the season of the blue-chip bowl game. Wednesday's Sugar Bowl saw the biggest upset in the BCS era, as Louisville dominated third-ranked Florida. Thursday's Fiesta Bowl offers a match-up of one-time title game possibilities. (Fix college football fixture Pete McEntegart will be there in spades tonight to live blog the game at 8:30 p.m. ET.) And yet, even with big-ticket games on the immediate horizon, all college football fans want to talk about is one play in one relatively insignificant bowl game. It sounds strange, but have you seen the fumble-forcing-tackle-cum-fumble-recovery that South Carolina defensive line prodigy Jadeveon Clowney laid on Michigan's Vincent Smith in Tuesday's Outback Bowl? Well, you should:
Once you've seen Clowney's hit—once, or twice, or as many times as is necessary for the awe at its speed and force to wear off—all the attention is easier to understand. Clowney has been making plays like this since high school, and built a sizable legend for himself in his two years in Columbia even before The Hit.
In fact, Clowney has been dominant enough to raise questions about the NFL-mandated rule that he spend a third year in college, although he doesn't seem especially concerned or unhappy about it. "It seems that the NCAA and NFL are the only two forces around who can successfully block Clowney," Yahoo's Doug Farrar writes. "Both organizations should consider themselves fortunate that Clowney seems OK with that."
In the meantime, football fans everywhere can hope Clowney stays healthy and amazing, and are free to spend however much more time is necessary trying to figure out this most mind-blowing of conversation-piece plays. "The part I still can't wrap my brain around: Clowney did that with about eight yards of running room," SB Nation's Spencer Hall writes. "In the span of 24 feet, he gained enough momentum to do that. The equation is F=MA, and the numbers work out, I'm sure, but the brain can only do so much. It's a day later and my eyes still can't believe the spectacle and brutality of applied physics in football pads. When you have a variable like Jadeveon Clowney, though, sense is never, ever part of the equation."

Because he's good, because he seems to enjoy playing, and because he's one of the game's more open and honest stars, Torii Hunter is one of the easier players to like in baseball. Last week, his openness on a hot-button topic got him in some hot water. In an article on the stubbornly slow progress of tolerance in professional sports, Hunter told Kevin Baxter of the Los Angeles Times that he would find it difficult to play with an out gay teammate. "For me, as a Christian," Hunter told Baxter. "I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right."
Hunter's honestly occasioned about the opprobrium that you'd expect, and he later clarified and moderated his statement on Twitter. Still, Hunter's statement—misquoted, miscontextualized or not—clearly reflects a familiar opinion in sports clubhouses. At Deadspin, Patrick Burke—a veteran NHL scout and co-founder of the tolerance-in-sports nonprofit You Can Play—offers a Christian case for clubhouse tolerance.
"Jesus knew the only way to reach the people who needed him most was to treat them with love, kindness, and respect," Burke writes. "I don't need you to march in gay pride parades. I need you to judge your teammates by what they bring to the team, not by whom they love. That's it. Treat your teammates with respect, regardless of their race, religion, or sexual orientation. Nothing about that contradicts what Jesus would ask of you."

Is More Transparency about Law Schools Desirable?
Don LeDuc, President and Dean | September 24, 2012
Do you favor transparency? Should there be more transparency in our society? Should law schools be more transparent? What is transparency anyway? Is transparency always good? What should be disclosed? What should not? And what about privacy? Do public and private institutions have a right to privacy? Do their rights, if they have any, differ? Do concerns about transparency conflict with concerns about privacy? Who should decide the answer to these questions?
Put me down as favoring disclosure and increasing the level of transparency. But please put the debate, or controversy, over transparency in context.
Much of the current discussion is premised on the basis that transparency and disclosure are good and that privacy and non-disclosure are bad. With the adoption of freedom of information acts and open meetings acts across the nation in the 1970s, our legislative bodies seemed to embrace something akin to transparency, but those acts contain many limiting definitions restricting their application to specific bodies doing specific things, and they provide many exceptions from disclosure. And they triggered a privacy concern, leading to more legislation protecting against improper disclosure, meaning less transparency.
So, it is safe to say that transparency is not always good, and disclosure is not always consistent with public policy or sentiment. Of late, the approach of those favoring transparency and disclosure has been to assert that law schools that don't disclose whatever it is that they desire to have disclosed are engaged in deceptive practices or worse. They assert, with impunity, that the unrevealed information would favor their point of view and show the law schools as bad. According to this critical view, if the law schools do not disclose, they have something to hide.
This debate, of course, delights the media and incites the bloggers, because they benefit from the debate more than they would from the information that is sought. It sells copy, invites hits on websites, and raises advertising rates or egos. Others are simply what we have long referred to as officious intermeddlers with no real stake in the outcome. Some are just disaffected people with too much time on their hands. Very little of the current drumbeat for disclosure is the work of disinterested and objective observers. This all tends to diminish the quality of the debate about transparency, mainly because it is totally one-sided and poorly argued.
We need fair and uniform disclosure
Law schools are competitors, whatever collegiality they might assert. We compete for students, tuition dollars, rankings, and jobs for our students and graduates. While we share the enterprise of legal education, we do so in different ways and with different missions. We have our own versions of trade secrets. We have both internal and external reasons to keep information confidential, some of which relate to protecting the privacy of our employees and our students.
For law schools, I submit that the proper focus for debate is that we all exist, whether public or private, because we have been granted some form of government permission to operate and are covered by some form of government regulation. The public universities and schools operate with direct government sanction, including even status as constitutional entities. The private universities and independent law schools all have undergone some form of government permission, including licensing. They have corporate status and most have non-profit status, both of which are forms of government permission and approval. Proprietary institutions likewise exist by government sanction. Because of this government involvement, we should be publicly accountable.
The Department of Education regulates colleges and universities and authorizes other bodies to accredit them. Currently 201 law schools are accredited by the American Bar Association's Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar. Many of these law schools are indirectly accredited by regional accrediting bodies, because their universities are directly accredited, while a few of the independent law schools also have regional accreditation. And the federal government now directly loans money to law students and depends on the law schools to assist them in their lending function. All of this led one court to describe the accrediting bodies as proxies for the Department of Education.
Most law school data is treated by the ABA as confidential
All of this generates a demand for reports. They are demanded by the United States Department of Education, by some state executive and legislative bodies, by the various licensing bodies, by courts, and by accrediting agencies. These are required reports submitted by all law schools. Although the requirements vary and the quality of the reporting systems varies, they are done by all law schools. And they contain standardized information that would lend itself to comparisons of law schools.
The common denominator for law schools is the annual questionnaire each is required to submit. In addition, the schools submit additional questionnaires regarding their creation, any significant changes that they wish to undertake, and any programs they wish to add. They also undergo periodic inspections by accrediting agencies to assure that they remain in compliance with whatever governing standards are then applicable, generating even more questionnaires.
The ABA publishes an Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools that includes some of the information included in the annual questionnaires. That body also requires that the individual schools publish certain information. Based on these annual questionnaires, the ABA also distributes reports it calls "take-offs" that compile much of the information provided by the schools in comparative lists or in summaries. However, the ABA treats all of this take-off information as confidential and prohibits each school from publicly disclosing any of that information except that which is about itself that it may choose to disclose. Thus, schools cannot provide context to that information by comparing themselves to other schools.
The ABA does not disclose important accreditation decisions
The ABA also enforces uniform standards and interpretations as part of its accreditation duties. Apparently, that body has granted an increasing number of variances from these requirements. These departures create a degree of inconsistency, of course, but they also provide an unfair advantage to the schools that received them. Disclosure of the variances would permit the other schools to learn about and perhaps seek similar favorable treatment. Other than avoiding similar requests from others, there is no reason to treat these decisions as confidential. To the contrary, disclosure would make the public and the other schools aware that some schools are allowed to avoid complying with the standards that presumably all accredited schools meet.
Broader disclosure is warranted
Cooley has a long tradition of openness and disclosure, including disclosure of the reports produced by the accrediting bodies that are adverse or critical. We have done that so that our students are aware of what is occurring in the accreditation process. Where we have access to information about other schools, particularly through the ABA Official Guide, we provide detailed comparisons of Cooley to the other schools. We would like to be able to compare other aspects based on the information in the ABA take-offs, but cannot do so because of the ABA confidentiality policy. Very little of that information is sensitive, including the financial information. For example, we are now prohibited from comparing physical plant size because that item is no longer included in the Official Guide. And, because 40% of the law schools are public and already subject to state FOIA and OMA laws, much of that information could be obtained, but only with difficulty.
We would like to see the presumption of non-disclosure removed, to be replaced by a presumption that all information required in the ABA questionnaires is public information. The only exceptions would be to protect from disclosure anything that would reveal information about individual students, staff members, or faculty members and or violate privacy laws. The simplest way to do this would be for the ABA to publish the take-offs on its website, making them available to anyone who wanted the information. They could charge a fee to those who seek this information.
In our view, the situation regarding transparency has deteriorated to the point that suspicion now overrides reality. Precisely because the schools have nothing to hide, disclosure should occur. With the Internet now capable of turning every perceived fault in a school into a matter of widespread discussion and every misperception into a media, and even Congressional, reality, we have reached the point where full disclosure is the lesser of the evils and the greater of the choices.
The schools that favor candor and embrace transparency are at a competitive disadvantage when they provide information that others withhold. By disclosing all ABA-required information and allowing all law schools to use the information, we would keep the playing field level and raise the quality of debate. If there arose a demand for specific information not currently compiled by the ABA, the ABA could respond to that directly, rather than putting that burden on the individual law schools. We would change the focus from the need for transparency to the substance of what is disclosed. Indeed, we would change the nature of the debate from perception to reality. How harmful can that be?

Wendy Kopp to speak to local educators through REEPBy Jessica StarkRice News staffWendy Kopp, the founder and CEO of Teach for America, will speak to aspiring K-12 school leaders in the Rice Education Entrepreneurship Program (REEP) at 4 p.m. March 4 at Rice University. More than 350 local educators will attend the event, which is open to the Rice community, including those involved in the selective REEP program.REEP combines a business school education with an intensive educational entrepreneurship curriculum. It aims to educate leaders of underserved schools by equipping them with knowledge, skills and resources to run schools and districts that close achievement gaps and propel more underserved students to complete postsecondary education.A well-known innovator of K-12 education, Kopp will be speaking about her experience founding and growing Teach for America, the national corps of outstanding recent college graduates and professionals who commit to teach for at least two years in urban and rural public schools and who become leaders in the effort to expand educational opportunity. Kopp proposed the creation of Teach For America in her undergraduate senior thesis in 1989 and has spent the last 19 years working to sustain and grow the organization. In the 2008-09 school year, more than 6,200 corps members are teaching in the nation's neediest communities, reaching approximately 400,000 students.The talk, which will be in McNair Hall's Shell Auditorium, is part of REEP's Thought Leadership Series, which brings nationally recognized leaders on education entrepreneurship to Rice to interact with REEP students and explore important questions, ideas and issues in the field. Aspiring school leaders from the Houston Independent School District, YES Prep Public Schools and KIPP Charter Schools are part of REEP's inaugural class. Now in their second semester, REEP participants are going through much of the same training as many future CEOs. The experience poises them to become some of the top leaders of schools nationwide. All participants are part of the Rice MBA for Professionals program, which features 100 percent tuition reimbursement for graduates who serve in leadership roles in underserved public schools in the Greater Houston area, or the Rice Advanced Management Program, an executive management certificate program.The launch of REEP was funded in part by a $7.2 million grant awarded by Houston Endowment Inc. REEP is also partnered with Teach for America and Houston A+ Challenge. More information is available at http://reep.rice.edu.

That said, my money is on what KMDave said. If you only have an internal wireless card and you JUST want internet (cracking will not work), then you need to connect to a network on your host OS and use NAT or bridging in your VM. I'm not familiar with Oracle VM so I can't help any further.

Thread: Light Period
4th December 2011 07:53 AM #1
Light Period
I get a lot of questions asked through the website www.pregnancy.com.au - this questions was posted by jolynn:
I have been experiencing pregnancy symptoms, fatigue,fuller breasts,nausea,back pain, stomach cramping, headaches, I had my period on the 18th of November, it started out light pink, then brown, and the next day it was red, it only lasted four days, it usually lasts about 7 days, but I'm still experiencing the symptoms, can I be pregnant?
What is your experience? Did you experience a light period and subsequently found out you are pregnant.
It is certainly my experience that anything is possible. Women report having what they consider is a light period and subsequently find out that they are pregnant. It could be implantation bleeding. If pregnancy symptoms are present - the easiest way to find out is by doing a home pregnancy test.
4th December 2011 09:26 AM #2
Unusual period
Here is another question I received on light periods:
My last period started on September 30th 2011, I was having pregnancy like symptoms including sore nipples, nausea, headaches, low back pain, and constipation. I took several home tests that came out negative. I had bleeding on November 24th in the morning, it was bright red and medium flow. I assumed that I had just started my period. However through out the day my flow became lighter, then then this morning there was nothing. My normal periods last 4 to five days, I normally have medium to heavy bleeding the first three days, then a day off, then a have medium to light bleeding again for one day. I guess I am basically wondering if there is a possibility of me still being pregnant since I am still having the nausea, sensitivity to my nipples, and low back pain. Or is my period just off because I went 55 days between cycles?
Sometimes because of hormonal changes - periods can be unusual - particularly if you have a long or short menstrual cycle. However it is also possible to be pregnant with similar symptoms. If a pregnancy test is negative and you think that their is a possibility of being pregnant - repeat the pregnancy test 5 to 7 days after the last test (this gives pregnancy hormones time to rise).

The only thing that is a big problem would be pregnancy. If this is a possibility, do a pregnancy test. If that's negative, don't worry too much about it.

Review Colby College
I am currently a freshman at Colby. I am a member of the Women's Soccer team and am currently pursuing a Biology/Pre-Health major with the aspiration of going to medical school. Colby has provided me so many great resources, not just academically, but also in terms of networking, and helping me create my future beyond Colby. The student body is incredibly diverse and everyone is super friendly. Colby is also a really active school. The Outing Club is super popular, there is so much local outdoor recreation. There's a college ski pass to Sugarloaf, Loon, and Sunday River for the winter. I am also a Colby Cares About Kids Mentor which is a really cool volunteering program a Colby. Colby students are matched with a student (usually low-income) in the local Waterville area school district. There are so many ways to get involved inside and outside of Colby. It really is a school that is what you make of it.
Overall, I feel very safe on this campus. I sometimes feel that the campus is a bit dark at night and could use more lighting on Miller lawn! Theft is seldom a problem (but does exist) and most of my friends feel comfortable leaving their doors unlocked or computers in the library during meals. I mean, we leave our backpacks outside of dining halls and save our seats with our keys, wallets, and phones!
Devoted, enthusiastic, incredible professors that really help you to think in ways you never thought you could. Super friendly atmosphere amongst students. Several major "types" of kids: poly-sci/business/science-orientated athletes; crunchy, outdoorsy hippies; eccentric arts kids; super-students. Very white, accepts a LOT of Maine/New England kids and public-school kids (how I got in). Incredible, expansive campus with an hundred-acre arboretum makes the school feel like its own world (as opposed to feeling like going to school in a city park). Three dining halls with different/distinct food options, and unlimited meal swipes make life so much easier.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- The race to succeed Cincinnati's first directly elected black mayor so far has no black candidates.
With Mark Mallory not allowed to seek re-election to a third, four-year term because of term limits, a city with a majority-minority population currently appears likely to elect a white mayor in November.
The two leading candidates are former city councilman John Cranley and Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, a former mayor. Both have strong vote-getting records and fundraising ability, which appears to be deterring some potential candidates.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports (http://cin.ci/XDKzLf ) that some political observers find it concerning that no black contenders have stepped forward.
Xavier University political scientist Gene Beaupre is "amazed and disappointed" that no black candidate is running.
"You are the city's leader. You are its spokesman. You are its representative," Beaupre said.
The 2010 Census showed Cincinnati's white population was under 50 percent, with African-Americans at 45 percent and Hispanics and Asians totaling 5 percent.
But some black political veterans say it's not a big worry. They just want to have a mayor who will represent the diverse city well and responsively.
"It's all about the candidate, regardless of their color," said Dwight Tillery, a black community leader who in 1991 became mayor as the leading vote-getter among council candidates on the ballot. Before that system, two other black council members were chosen mayor by fellow council members.
Cincinnati voters in 2011 elected a black city council majority, which included three Democrats, one Republican and one Independent. The city manager, police chief and several other key city officials are also black.
Councilman Wendell Young, who is black, said he'd vote for the best mayoral candidate, "even if he or she was polka-dotted."
Councilman Cecil Thomas, a black former police officer, could still join the race. But he recently told The Enquirer he is eyeing a possible state Senate run.
"A bigger question is, who really runs Cincinnati?" said Iris Roley, a business owner. "Is it the people we elect to office, or forces greater than them, who are all white?"

The Wildest Thing You've Done As A Ravens Fan
How much of a Ravens fanatic are you? The Sun is looking for stories of your devotion. Tell us the wildest thing you've done as a Ravens fan. Please e-mail us at email@example.com with your name, town and daytime phone number.
I'm writing on behalf of a Ravens fanatic that I think you will deem one of a kind. She is a soon-to-be 70 year old woman who lives in Ocean City and makes her early morning trek west for every Ravens home game. During away games, she cheers on her favorite team at the home of her Ravens Roost 44, The Greene Turtle.
Ms. Marlyn dyes her short, curly white hair purple each Sunday and her Montego Bay home is a shrine to the Ravens. Recently she had surgery to replace a heart valve. Just days after this major surgery she insisted on watching the Ravens take on the Chiefs. The hospital staff obliged.
As she prepared to end her stay at St. Joseph's Hospital, her doctor encouraged Ms. Mar to set a goal to be back on her feet and up and about on her own. She picked New Year's Eve for two reasons: First, it will be her 70th birthday and secondly and clearly more important to Ms. Mar, she wants to be at M&T Bank Stadium for the Ravens' regular season finale against the Bills.
While this story may be inspiring and heart warming (no pun intended), it isn't the wildest story. But it does help to paint a picture about this slight woman's devotion to the Ravens -- a devotion clearly evident back on September 30, 2002.
On that day the Ravens hosted the Denver Broncos on Monday night. The Ravens entered the game winless and as underdogs against the then undefeated Broncos. The Ravens controlled the game almost throughout the contest and won 34-23.
However as the Broncos tried to mount a comeback, they were driving in the second half and they entered Ravens' territory. Brian Griese went back to pass and was pursued by Michael McCrary. The ball came loose and the Ravens recovered an apparent fumble. On the field there was confusion amongst the officials. Most in attendance believed that the Ravens would either take possession or that the officials would rule Griese down by contact and give McCrary a sack.
As the officials privately debated the call, little Ms. Mar screamed passionately at the striped-dress men. To her it was clearly a fumble and she vehemently stated her case. In fact her argument was so vigorous that her dentures dislodged and flew from her mouth like a mouthpiece after a vicious hit.
Ms. Mar went down on all fours and searched all around the stadium floor for her choppers. Once she located them, she poured some of her Coors Light on the dentures to clean them, popped them back in and continued to chastise the referee after he determined that the play was neither a fumble or a sack but an incomplete pass.
Those around Ms. Mar initially held back their laughter out of respect but at the end of the night, they witnessed an event that they will likely never see again and an upset win by the home town team on a memorable edition of Monday Night Football.Follow me on Twitter @RSRLombardi

I break-danced with my brother on the floor of the Club Level after Shannon Sharpe scored on thet 96-yard TD vs. Oakland in the AFC Championship game in January 2001. That was kind of out there for me, but hey - at that point we know we had a trip to the Super Bowl in the bag.

Re: The Wildest Thing You've Done As A Ravens Fan
I am writing due to my passion for the Purple Pain. I am Baltimore born, raised, and educated (Loyola College). For the last 4 seasons, my parents, sister and myself have had season tickets. For the last 3 years, I was a Baltimore resident, and never missed a home game in that time-span (including pre-season). However, in the Fall of 2005 I moved to Chicago. From the Fall of 2005 to present day, I have missed only 3 home games (one because I was on my honeymoon). In such a sports loving city as Chicago, it would not be easy to watch the game at a local pub in my AD jersey, so I decided I would go all out in order to be among the best fans in the NFL. Flying back and forth from Chicago to Baltimore has been challenging to say the least- especially with post-game tailgating and departing flights at 650 am in order to not miss any work here in Chicago. Co-workers here in Chicago swear I live in Baltimore still and just commute to Chicago to work Monday through Friday. All I can say is that it has been worth all the miles and early mornings to see this team transform itself over the last 18 months. I will be there on New Year's Eve and I am hoping for a first round Bye, for the team's benefit and also to save a little cash.

Re: The Wildest Thing You've Done As A Ravens Fan
I ran around an apartment complex wearing nothing but my leopard print boxers and a black Ray Lewis jersey after we won the SuperBowl.
At least until one of my friends leaned over the balcony and hollered, "Hey Darb, I thought you were going to get naked!". Then I ran around the apartment complex sans leopard print boxers."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar. He sits down and says, Hi Im Ben may I have a drink please?
Re: The Wildest Thing You've Done As A Ravens Fan
As for me, we had some family over during the Jax game in 2000 (I'm sure you all remember which ;)), and I was so amped that before the game winning drive, I leaned over and said "If the Ravens win this, I'm jumping in the pool, clothes and all". A few minutes later, Banks to Sharpe, and I was out in the pool soaked. I didn't need to watch the rest - I knew we'd won. Of course, I still ran back in and wrapped myself in a towel and watched, but I wouldn't be a Ravens fan otherwise!

Re: The Wildest Thing You've Done As A Ravens Fan
It was hell week and the Squeelers in town in 2001. Things were interesting in the stands with a huge scuffle going on in the middle of 114, Kris Brown was lining up to kick a FG which he missed wide right, all of a sudden I felt like I got punched in the gut and looked down and there was a football. My husband retrieved the ball, stuck it in my backpack and then checked on me! As for SAFE, we told them we had no clue where it went.
Re: The Wildest Thing You've Done As A Ravens Fan
I emailed in as well - on behalf of the UKR's and Celery!!!
Not holding my breath though.

Court ruling keeps former police Capt. free
Cincinnati (AP) - A former Akron police captain released after nearly 15 years in prison for his ex-wife's killing can remain free as the state's highest court considers taking his case.
The Ohio Supreme Court's ruling Wednesday will allow former Akron Capt. Doug Prade to stay out of jail until at least the summer.
That's when the court should decide whether to consider Prade's appeal of a lower court's ruling.
The march ruling by Ohio's 9th District Court of Appeals found a judge was wrong to free Prade based on bite-mark DNA testing.
If the Supreme Court takes the case, Prade would remain free as the justices weigh whether to overturn the lower ruling. If the court turns down the case, Prade would have to go back to jail.

BLOOMINGTON - Assemblywoman Norma Torres won the California Democratic Party's endorsement in her bid to win a vacant state Senate seat.
"Your endorsement means the world to me. I couldn't see myself running without your support," Torres said to Democratic delegates supporting her candidacy at an endorsement caucus.
Torres and supporters went to her Fontana campaign headquarters after winning the endorsement. Her headquarters is inside a Sierra Avenue cluster of auto repair shops where volunteers spent Saturday preparing for the phone calls and canvassing they hope will lead to victory.
"We need a representative that is going to be in the trenches with the community, working to address the real issues, which are huge job losses that we have had, and the issue with home foreclosures in the area," Torres said in an interview at her campaign office.
Torres, whose local Assembly office is in Chino, was reelected to her third term in the Assembly in November and is now among the six candidates competing for a seat in the state Legislature's upper house. Whoever wins will fill out the remainder of Gloria Negrete-McLeod's term, which expires in 2014.
McLeod left the state Senate earlier this month to serve in Congress.
The field includes four Democrats and two Republicans. Only two of the Democrats - Torres and Rialto Unified School District board member Joanne Gilbert - asked for the California Democratic Party's endorsement.
The other two Democrats are Ontario Councilman Paul Vincent Avila and San Bernardino County Treasurer/Tax Collector Larry Walker.
The two Republicans are Ontario Mayor Paul Leon and Pomona planning commissioner Kenny Coble.
Democratic Party delegates voting in Saturday's endorsement caucus met at Teamsters Union Local 166.
Torres and Gilbert gave two-minute speeches before the day's ballots were collected and tallied one by one.
Standing with supporters behind the seated rows of delegates at the union hall, Torres beamed while the votes added up in her favor and it became clear she would run away with the endorsement.
If Gilbert, however, was phased by the lopsided tally, however, she didn't show it as she exited the event.
"Right now, it doesn't affect my plans at all. I was late getting into the race and I understood I was playing catch up," she said.
Among notables' votes counted at the Bloomington meeting, former Rep. Joe Baca and Rialto Councilman Joe Baca Jr. supported Torres.
Former Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter's name was read in support of Gilbert's candidacy.
McLeod, whose election to Congress made the special election possible, has endorsed Walker's candidacy.
The 32nd Senate District, where pre-redistricting boundaries are still in effect - stretches from the Pomona to San Bernardino areas. Voter registration leans significantly toward the Democratic Party.
When McLeod last ran for the state Senate in 2010, Democrats claimed nearly 50 percent of registered voters.
But an overwhelming voter registration advantage is not enough to guarantee a Democratic candidate's victory.
For inland Democrats, last June's Primary Election for the 31st Congressional District ended in a bitter lesson as two Republicans - Rep. Gary Miller and then state Sen. Bob Dutton - went on to the general election after four Democrats split their party's vote.
The 31st district spans from Rancho Cucamonga to Redlands and its voter registration tilts toward the Democrats. Nonetheless, California's new election system ignores party affiliation in primaries and the top two finishers advance to the general election.
That's why the Republican Miller represents the 31st Congressional District following his triumph over Dutton.
California Democratic Party regional director John A. Smith led Saturday's endorsement meeting. Although he said it's not his place to tell anyone not to run for office, he said Democrats need to be cognizant of the risk of repeating history.
"Think if you want to keep your campaign going or drop out," Smith advised before the balloting took place.
Gilbert, however, was undeterred by the risks of splitting Democrats' votes.
"That's a possibility, but I'm not dropping out, if that's the question," she said.
The special election's primary is scheduled for March 12. If no candidate wins a majority, the top two finishers will go on to a general election set for May 14.

In July of 2012, Dr. Gregory Stanton, head of the nonprofit group Genocide Watch, conducted a fact-finding mission in South Africa. He concluded that there is a coordinated campaign of genocide being conducted against white farmers, known as Boers. "The farm murders, we have become convinced, are not accidental," Stanton contended. "It was very clear that the massacres were not common crimes," he added — especially because of the absolute barbarity used against the victims. "We don't know exactly who is planning them yet, but what we are calling for is an international investigation," he added.
The number of farm murders, or "plaasmoorde" as it is called in Afrikaans, is staggering. Over the last decade, it is estimated that at least 3000 Boers have been killed. Estimating the number of murders is necessary because the ANC has banned crime statistics from being compiled, claiming they scare off foreign investment. Moreover, the world knows little about the savagery that accompanies those killings. Many victims, including women and infant children, are raped or tortured before they are killed. Some have boiling water poured down their throats, some are burned with hot pokers, and some are hacked to death with machetes, or disemboweled. Several others have been tied to their own cars and dragged for miles.
The ANC, whose leader Jacob Zuma was reelected with over 75 per cent of the total voting delegates at the ANC National Conference held in Bloemfontein last December, denies that genocide is occurring, insisting that such attacks are part of the larger crime problem. Yet a report filed by the South African Institute of Race Relations notes that while crime has ostensibly declined between 1994 and 2011, "substantial numbers" of police stations have manipulated their crime statistics. The report sub-headline underscores the corrupt nature of crime statistics in the country: "Is this a true reflection of the crime statistics in South Africa? Who knows!" it states.
What is known is that the ANC celebrated in 100th year anniversary with a song led by President Zuma himself. "Dubula iBhunu" or "Shoot the Boer" was a line in the lyrics of an apartheid-era song, "Ayesaba Amagwala" ("the cowards are scared") that violates the South Africa constitution prohibiting the "advocacy of hatred that is based on race … and that constitutes incitement to cause harm." Yet Zuma apparently felt no compunction to refrain from singing it, because the ANC considers it an integral part of the anti-apartheid movement that is part of their heritage.
In 2010, Julius Malema, then leader of the ANC Youth League, revived the practice of singing the song after many years. After the South Africa High Court ruled it was hate speech, the ANC appealed. Last October, the ANC and AfriForum, a lobby group that wanted the song banned from public performance, reached an out-of-court settlement.
Dr. Stanton concluded that Malema's revival of a song advocating murder moved South Africa from the fifth stage on his genocidal scale to stage six. When the South African judiciary ruled it to be unlawful hate speech, Genocide Watch put South Africa back at stage five. When President Zuma was caught on tape January 2012 singing, "We are going to shoot them with the machine gun, they are going to run/You are a Boer, we are going to hit them, and you are going to run/shoot the Boer…" South Africa was raised to stage six once again.
Stage six is known as Preparation: "Victims are identified and separated out because of their ethnic or religious identity. Death lists are drawn up. Members of victim groups are forced to wear identifying symbols. Their property is expropriated. They are often segregated into ghettoes, deported into concentration camps, or confined to a famine-struck region and starved."
The sixth stage is followed by stage seven: Extermination.
In December, more than 200 protesters of the Afrikaner civil rights group AfriForum, which included families of murdered farmers and survivors of farm attacks, marched in the capital city of Pretoria. They were commemorating the second anniversary of the murders of farm caretaker Attie Potgieter and his family. Potgieter was stabbed and hacked 151 times with a knife, a fork, and a machete, while his wife and two-year-old daughter were forced to watch. They were then executed with shots to the head. "If you kill a rhinoceros in South Africa, you get more time in jail then if you kill a person," said Susan Nortje, 26, Mrs. Potgieter's younger sister. "I don't think people understand. We must show people what's really happening."
The group is calling for attacks on South Africa's mostly white farmers to be designated a crime of national priority. They delivered a memorandum to the country's police minister, Nathi Mthethwa, urging him to give the murder of farmers the same level of urgency aimed at rhinoceros poachers and copper cable thieves. Mthethwa was not present at the time, but police spokesman Zweli Mnisi accused the protesters of "grandstanding." "They are only representing people based on their color," he contended. "For us, racializing crime is problematic. You can't have a separate category that says, farmers are the special golden boys and girls. You end up saying the life of a white person is more important. You cannot do this," he added.
Yet according to Johan Burger, a senior researcher with the Pretoria-based Institute for Security Studies' crime and justice program, white farmers' concerns are legitimately "special." He reveals that it is now twice as dangerous to be a farmer in South Africa than a police officer. The overall murder rate in the nation is 31.9 per 100,000 people, 30 times that of Great Britain. For police it's 51 out of 100,000. For farmers, who are overwhelmingly white, the rate soars to 99 out 100,000. Burger rejects the notion that such a rate constitutes genocide–even as he concedes that many murderers "take out their hatred for all those past wrongs, and show who's in control now."
Like so many societies where demonstrating who's in control becomes a necessity, disarming the population becomes a priority. In 2010, the ANC-led regime changed the Firearms Registration Act, demanding that all legal guns be re-registered by July 31, 2011. In the process of re-registration, more than half the applicants were turned down, and 90 percent were turned down again on appeal. Thus, white farm families were forced to relinquish their last line of defense against the tens of thousands of criminal gangs roaming the countryside–armed with AK47s. and as Genocide Watch noted on its website last July one more step was taken as well. "The government has disbanded the commando units of white farmers that once protected their farms, and has passed laws to confiscate the farmers' weapons," it reported. "Disarmament of a targeted group is one of the surest early warning signs of future genocidal killings."
There is also a movement, much like the one that occurred in Zimbabwe, to confiscate white farmers' land. Julius Malema led the charge, saying all whites are criminals, and that his ANC Youth League members were going to take all the land back without compensation, unless farmers relinquish 80 percent of it. At a conference in 2011, Malema reiterated his plans, contending that the nation's "willing buyer, willing seller" program, aimed at redistributing 30 percent of white-owned land to blacks within the first five years of the country's democracy (a deadline later shifted to 2014, and then to 2025), wasn't working. "You can never be diplomatic about willing-buyer, willing-seller. It has failed. You have not come with an alternative," said Mr. Malema at the time. "We are giving you an alternative; we must take the land without payment."
That is a recipe for famine, as revealed by Rural Development and Land Reform Minister Gugile Nkwinti. In 2009, he told Parliament that more than half of the farms purchased for black farmers, at a cost of $891 million in government outlays, had either failed or were "declining."

I don't understand how these go against the terms and conditions? Apple has slowly grown to be ridiculous when it comes to how uninnovative they are and devs can be.
Well I didn't buy it because someone else running ios7 beta said it wasn't working right. So right there the developer didn't code or didn't have a renewed developer account. And knowing apple is going to pull it right away isn't going to give the developer time to fix it for ios7. Think this guy did it for a quick $$$ knowing Apple would pull it lol
First, open iTunes and select the iTunes Store link in the left-hand column
Near the top right corner, click the arrow next to your user name (email address) and then select Account. About half way down the screen, click the Purchase History button. In the bottom portion of the screen, you will see your App Store purchase history -- click the Report a Problem button.
Locate the iTunes invoice with the application you would like a refund for, and click the Report a Problem link.
Fill out the form that follows and be sure to be as detailed as possible -- when finished, click Next.
If your reason for requesting a refund is valid, Apple should respond within a few days and process your refund within a week.
As for refunds.. the general policy is a no refund policy, however I've gotten refunds on several apps over the years.. usually because it didn't work as advertised, wasn't compatible with my device yet it still let me download it .. or as in a case last year.. I installed an app and it wasn't what I expected, I told the rep I genuinely misunderstood the purpose of it and that the $1.99 app wasn't of any use for me.. He promptly issued a credit without question.
Individual experiences vary.. it all depends on who you talk to and what you say..
In your case I would say that you purchased the app and then deleted it with the intention of reinstalling it when you needed or something like that, I've done that especially when a deal is going on to lock in a cheap price.. or even that you had to restore your device because of some weird glitch.. then you can tell them you tried to find it to restore your purchased app only to not be able to find it.. then ask for a copy of the app! when they can't give you the app you bought, you are in the perfect position to request a refund/credit...
As long as your request is reasonable you'll be good to go.. not liking an app isn't generally reasonable to them.
I saved the signed iPA! Ha suckers!
With that said.. I think having purchased an app only to have it vanish so you have no way of downloading your purchase would fall squarely into the valid reason for a refund category.. I think they'd be more likely to offer up a credit in this scenario than in many others.
I have noticed that my bank account hasn't been charged the $1.99 and I haven't received an iTunes receipt email for it yet. Maybe they suspended the transactions on it. I bought it to test with iOS 7 and it would have been great on my iPad for demonstration purposes. I'll go through with the refund process and update later.
I got a refund for one of the note and to do list apps on Mac for like $70 I got a refund for mountain lion $20 2 weeks ago. It's how you approach it. You'll get a refund.
How did it pass through apples review process and make it to the App Store in the first place? Aren't you subject to a 2 week review period before the app is made public? What exactly is apple doing in those two weeks?
just download the app from somewhere else and side load it., problem solved.

Fashion Addicts: Drug Dealers Make Manolos Out Of Cocaine
Drug dealers can be so crafty when it comes to smuggling narcotics. Spanish police recently busted a gang of dealers who figured out how to mold cocaine into replicas of Manolo Blahnik shoes. When arrested, the six dealers, five Colombians and one Spaniard, possessed $630,000 worth of cocaine that had been mixed with a liquid to form a paste that was carefully sculpted and painted to mimic luxury high heels. Each pair of coke shoes has an estimated worth of $70,000 — while a real pair of Manolos can cost upwards of $500. At the top of the drug-smuggling ring was a couple who organized the transport of the cocaine from Colombia to Spain, where the paste was changed back to powder and distributed for sale in Spain and throughout Europe.
Replicating cocaine paste to look like Manolo Blahnik shoes is just another indication that drug dealers are finding more inventive ways to smuggle their drugs. But even high fashion is no disguise against Spanish police, who have also found cocaine disguised as replica sculptures, a cast for a man's broken leg, and a complete 42-piece tea set. [NY Post
