Post subject: Week 2: Oakland Raiders @ Miami Dolphins, Its not so bad
Seriously! The defense was pretty good for the situation it was thrust into. Especially against the run. And the Raiders defense isn't the super elite crew that the Texans are.
Obviously the main focus is Ryan Tannehill dealing with his early adversity. I'm glad he took his hits early and lets see how he deals with it.

This is the 1st of about 10 games I think we have a real shot at winning and thankfully we've got home-field advantage!
This could go well!

I'm excited. Our defense should have a good day while our offense, if they can minimize the mistakes and keep to the run, should be able to get some points. The game should be close.

SUPER ELITE??? Now you're just doing it for effect!
What's next? Super Uber Elite?
I'm hopeful that the Dolphins can get a win here too. However, I also think it's an indication of what kind of team the Dolphins are that they played much better than I was expecting on Sunday and held their own for a large part of a half, giving me more cause for optimism than I have had for some time ....and lost by 20, didn't score an offensive TD, turned the ball over on 3 straight plays, didn't look like creating a turnover themselves and essentially capitulated on D after things went bad.
It's going to be a long, long road to recovery for Miami.

Well, I'm excited to see what changes are made on offense. Did anyone else notice that the phins didnt roll Tanne out at all, and didn't have many naked bootlegs?. I think that the batted passes can be corrected by moving Tanne in the pocket, at least the D-line will have to play on their toes. We are finally going to see what Miller is capable of, with Thomas out. I predict we win based on a strong running game.
Miami 23, Raiders 17.
Bush with 1 rushing TD.
Bess with a TD.
3 FG's. I still think we will struggle in the red zone.

I think we'll actually win this one. Tannehill may not shine, but with Bush playing pretty well last week and the defense doing a great job when the opposing offense starts outside of their territory, I have confidence.

While the game is definitely winnable, if the Raiders get a couple scores early I doubt we have the capability at QB or WR to play catch-up. Worst case scenario, Tannehill has another game where he can attempt 30+ passes and gain some more experience. The Raiders have big-play capability through the air and on the ground, so stopping that will be key. We can't be giving up 20-30 yard chunks on every other drive.

I just hope we can score an offensive touchdown this week. We'll play better against a weaker opponent but I think Oakland wins it.

The thing I do not understand about the Raiders defense is they have the talent to be great. It puzzles me they are not better. I think Miami is still trying to find their identity. I think the defense will keep Miami into the game but Tanney will turn the ball over at least twice, therefore giving the Raiders the win 17-6.

Just watched the Raiders / Chargers game again (don't ask why) and I have to say, they leave a lot to be desired. The Dolphins--with home-field advantage--should do well. I think Miami's biggest problem will be the screens to McFadden. He might hurt as a receiver given his speed out of the backfield but other than that I doubt Oakland's offense will do much.
Oakland's TEs are good but not great. They will hurt us but they won't torch us. Unless our DBs blow it and we give up several big plays over the top I don't see Oakland's offense doing much to out-match our defense. We're just not out-matched by what Oakland has to go with.
The Oakland O-line also allowed quite a lot of pressure late in the game and there's no reason to believe that with Wake, Starks, Soliai, Odrick and Vernon rushing him that we can't do just what the Chargers did.
Will we look astounding on the ground? Eh, I doubt that. I expect to see about what we saw last week. The Raiders defense isn't as strong but I think Miami's passing game will look a little more in rhythm. I expect a lot of runs but a more controlled passing attack with Tannehill getting more time in the pocket and a couple big plays to Hartline and Armstrong.
I'll take the Dolphins here....uh, 20-13 for a big home-showing of the new kid under center.

I did & I mentioned it here as well.
That has to change ASAP !
I also watched the Oak gm as I have all 4 of their Pre Season gms since their stadium is 3 Mi from my house & half of my co workers ....
you get the idea
If Dolphin fans think we have the worst WRs in the gm I would have to vehemently dissagree ... Oak does.
Nannee could walk on as the #1 WR in Oak today !!!
Palmer stopped throwing the ball in the 4th to anyone other than McFadden.
We stop him & we win, that simple.
The Oak Off line struggled at times with an aneimic S.D. pass rush, just wait till they face Soliai, Starks & Wake.
I'm not saying this will be an easy victory nor a pretty one but ...
I dub this one the
"You Suck Worse than we Do Bowl".
Whomever does the best job at not self destructing ... wins, that simple.
I have not incited anything here & already the trash talking has started here for me but ...
they will rue the day if Tanney can settle down & not loose, I promise you.
I will strap my Dolphin flag to the roof of my car driving past their practice facility here in
Alameda & their stadium on I-880 with my middle finger pointed right at them.
Just loose Moron
I don't think I will survive the following wk if we win this one boys, they have to pay.
My name is SUG & I approve this message !!

I do not think this game is a gimmie, Oakland could back to work and make a turn around, so please dont get it twisted and think this is a lock, Palmer is not washed up and has some good weapons to move the ball around. If Oaklands D would wake up they could be a very diffrent team this season. I see this game being more within reach as a win then last week. Two things will matter here, whoever runs the ball better, and whoever makes the most of oppertunities given to them.
I see Tanney getting his first TD this game. I also think Smith gets INT, Wake with 1 1/2 sacks.

BOSTON – Bike riders can rent helmets from solar-powered vending machines stationed at some of the city's most popular Hubway bike-rental spots starting in July.
A group of undergraduate students at MIT worked with the city to create the machine, dubbed HelmetHub, to encourage helmet use along Hubway, Boston's bicycle-sharing system that launched last summer with 60 solar-powered touchscreen rental kiosks. | SEE STORY
Each HelmetHub can hold 36 helmets adjustable to most head sizes, which users select using a touchscreen display. Rentals cost around $2 and riders will also have the option to purchase the headgear. Renters return their helmets to a designated kiosk and they're sent to HelmetHub's headquarters to be cleaned and sanitized before being distributed to the next customer.
The city said it will test four machines for a few months before rolling out additional helmet venders at other Hubway stations. Plans call for having 14 to 16 HelmetHubs in place by October.
Meanwhile, the city has encouraged bike safety by persuading retailers to carry steeply discounted helmets, sold in the $7.50 price range that helmet-maker Bell reserves for nonprofits and government. It's hoping the conveniently placed vending machines will encourage greater helmet usage.

USC School of Music fraternity wins national award
By Frenche Brewer, email@example.com, 803-777-3691
The University of South Carolina School of Music's Theta Chi international fraternity chapter has received the Katherine Becker National Collegiate Chapter Achievement Award from Sigma Alpha Iota, its national office.
The honor is presented annually to a chapter whose officers and members have achieved distinction in fulfilling national objectives, including keeping the local chapter in good financial standing, maintaining good relationships with chapter advisors, school administrators, patrons and alumni.
Theta Chi President Elise Naber said it is a great honor for the chapter to be recognized on the national level.
"It is wonderful to receive validation that our work, and the work of our predecessors, not only helps those in the community but also reaches out to individuals across the country," Naber said.
The music fraternity also provides scholarships to music students.
The Katherine Becker National Collegiate Chapter Achievement Award is named in memory of the former national vice-president of the college chapters from 1978-1987.
Tayloe Harding, dean of the School of Music said it's gratifying for Theta Chi to be recognized with one of SAI's most significant national honors.
"Accomplishing the national measure of excellence required by the criteria for this award is quite a distinction for the sisters of Theta Chi, and is an affirmation of the devotion to their cause of encouraging, nurturing and supporting music in and beyond South Carolina."

In His Words: Gary Clark Jr.
Listen to Gary Clark Jr. on iHeartRadio
Up and coming blues-rock singer/songwriter/guitarist Gary Clark Jr. can count Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys and even President Obama among his growing group of fans. The Austin, Texas standout first picked up a guitar when he was 12. Now, at 28, he has given hope to blues-guitar aficionados that the future is not only about Auto-Tune and dance beats with his major label debut, Blak and Blu.
Recently hailed 'guitar-rock's latest savior' (LA Times), a 'full-fledged guitar hero of the classic school' (Rolling Stone), and compared to Jimi Hendrix (Austin Chronicle), Gary Clark Jr. is going to be around for a while, so you should probably take a listen.
CLICK HERE to buy Blak and Blu from the Amazon MP3 store
Gary Clark Jr. stopped by the iHeartRadio studios in New York recently where he let us in on his drink of choice (Jameson), his top 5 Rock 'n' Roll songs (Hendrix makes the list), and what he means by Bright Lights.

View More Features and Specifications
Subaru has long been known for its stellar all-wheel-drive system. The Legacy is no exception, bringing Subaru's reputation for safety and reliability to a stylish mid-size sedan capable of surprising performance. With the recent redesign, there's even more to like about the Legacy, as it offers the largest interior passenger room in the midsize segment. Prices start at just over $21,000.
Compare the 2016 Subaru Legacy against similar models
After a full redesign last year, the Subaru Legacy is mostly unchanged for 2016. Minor tweaks have been made to the steering to improve feel, while windshield wipers and headlights are now automatic across all trim levels. A few new safety features have been introduced as well this year. A lane-keep assist feature has been added to the EyeSight system, while a new STARLINK safety and security package is offered in one of two flavors. The STARLINK package includes items like SOS emergency assistance, automatic collision notifications and, with STARLINK plus, a vehicle locator.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2016 Subaru Legacy. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Subaru Legacy. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Subaru Legacy is a midsize sedan for drivers who favor practicality and premium engineering over frills and flash. Benefiting from all-wheel drive and a flat engine that rides low in the engine bay, the Legacy delivers excellent handling and outstanding all-weather capability.
The Legacy competes with the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima and other midsize sedans. The Legacy was completely redesigned for the 2015 model year, making this the sixth generation.
For 2016, more safety features have been added but the Legacy carries over largely unchanged. A new auto on/off mode operates the windshield wipers with the headlights on 2016 Subaru Legacy models. The electric power-assist steering has been retuned for all 2016 Legacy models to provide a more linear and natural feel. The Stablex suspension dampers, new for 2015 Limited models, have been refined on 2016 Legacy Limited models to reduce vibration over washboard surfaces.
Nothing is flashy or raucous about the Legacy, though it is a nice-looking car. While some automakers place an emphasis on fancy interiors and swoopy styling, Subaru puts its money into engineering. All Legacy models come with all-wheel drive.
The Subaru Legacy offers a choice of two engines, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder developing 175 horsepower and a 3.6-liter six-cylinder generating 256 horsepower. Both mate with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and all-wheel drive.
Legacy 2.5i models deliver an EPA-estimated 26/36 mpg City/Highway, or 30 mpg Combined. Legacy 3.6R models only rate 20/29 mpg City/Highway, 23 mpg Combined.
We found the Legacy smooth and comfortable underway. The cabin is attractive and refined.
The 2016 Subaru Legacy 2.5i comes with a four-cylinder engine, while the Legacy 3.6R comes with a six-cylinder. All come with a CVT and all-wheel drive.
Legacy 2.5i ($21,745) comes with cloth upholstery and air conditioning with an air filtration system. Legacy 2.5i Premium ($23,845) upgrades interior trim and adds dual-zone climate control, a 10-way power driver's seat, Bluetooth, a 7-inch touch-screen, and an all-weather package. Legacy 2.5i Limited ($26,845) features leather seats, 18-inch wheels, heated rear seating, and harman/kardon audio. In addition to the six-cylinder engine, Legacy 3.6R Limited ($29,945) adds high-intensity-discharge headlights and stainless exhaust tips.
(All prices are MSRP and do not include the $795 destination charge. Dealer prices may vary.)
The Subaru Legacy cuts a pleasing profile, with a fast windshield and slightly sculpted fenders. A six-sided grille contains the Subaru insignia. All told, the Legacy manages to look aerodynamic, even rakish by Subaru standards.
The Legacy measures 188.8 inches long on a 108.3-inch wheelbase.
Clean and refined, the Legacy interior is more conservative in nature than some. It's space-efficient for five and features better-quality materials than past models. Upper trim levels get a band of metallic or woodgrain trim.
Legroom is notably greater than in the past, and Legacy feels wider, due in part to seat positioning. Seats are a bit short on side bolstering.
Unlike a lot of vehicles, three-across seating in the back shouldn't be a problem, at least for shorter jaunts. Rear seatbacks are 60/40-split folding, revealing the 15 cubic-foot trunk.
Instruments are blue-lit, and a small LCD display sits between the dials. Vents sit high on the dashboard, allowing for a touch-screen interface above a panel of metallic plastic controls.
The infotainment system includes a 6.2-inch (or larger) touch-screen with large icons, incorporating swipe and tap-gesture control. New for 2016 are Starlink Safety and Security suites, with services that include emergency and roadside assistance, vehicle-location, and remote lock/unlock.
On the road, the Subaru Legacy is expertly balanced, smooth and graceful. The suspension takes the edge off rough roads, for a smooth ride. The electric power steering gets a heavier feel when turning, helping the Legacy to track neatly and drive easily.
Acceleration performance is not the Legacy's strongest suit. When carrying a couple of passengers, the four-cylinder has to work to tackle steep hills.
Though impressively smooth, the six-cylinder lacks the vigor of Subaru's turbocharged engines, and the 3.6R is not that much quicker than a 2.5i model. Yet, it's quite satisfying on the road. When tromping the gas pedal, response may not be dramatic, but it's clearly seamless and does not feel strained.
Both engines are solid, and traditional Subaru buyers, who typically favor economy and predictable behavior over performance, are likely to be fully satisfied. Because the CVT works with belts and pulleys, not gears, operation is smooth and step-free, though paddle shifts provide six programmed simulated ratios.
A torque-vectoring feature in the all-wheel-drive system can shift power between the front rear wheels, and apply brakes on an inside wheel when cornering. Subaru is a leader in all-wheel-drive technology, a benefit of its extensive rally experience.
The 2015 Legacy and Outback earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating with the available Subaru-developed EyeSight system, which includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Pre-Collision Braking and Lane Departure and Sway Warning, and, for 2016, adds a Lane Keep Assist function. Blind Spot Detection plus Rear Cross Traffic Alert are also available. Also available: fog lights that swivel in the direction of a turn.
Subaru Legacy offers all-weather capability with its all-wheel drive, plus a roomy back seat, impressive fuel economy (from the four-cylinder), top safety ratings, and a smooth ride.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Defining Border Security Key to Talks
GOP Senators Fear a New Illegal Influx, and Democrats Worry a Vague Bill Would Delay Citizenship
WASHINGTON—How to determine whether the U.S. border with Mexico is secure has emerged as a central battle among senators writing an overhaul of immigration laws.
The senators working on the legislation, four Democrats and four Republicans, say that many of the 11 million people living in the nation illegally should have the chance to become U.S. citizens. But their proposal says that opportunity is "contingent on securing the...

Amid delays and a barrage of political criticism of his signature healthcare law, President Barack Obama will play pitchman for the plan on Thursday as a critical enrollment date draws near.
Obama is due give a speech at the White House highlighting how the plan has already benefited the public by lowering insurance costs and will do so in the future, senior administration officials said. He will be accompanied at the event by people who have seen their health insurances costs drop, the officials said.
"What we are beginning to see as we get closer to the open enrollment period beginning ... is that the abstraction is evaporating," one official said. "It's going away because the facts are being translated to benefits for real people."
The president is taking to the soapbox just weeks after having to delay a requirement for businesses to offer health coverage in 2014, or pay a fine, because the administration had yet to issue final regulations in time for employers to comply.
Days after that July 2 announcement, the administration said it would delay and loosen requirements for new state online insurance marketplaces to verify the income and health coverage status of people who apply for subsidized coverage.
Congressional Republicans, who have repeatedly sought to repeal the health law, pounced on those delays, urging Obama to also put off requirements that individuals obtain health insurance.
"To say that, 'well, we're going to, we're going to relax this mandate for a year on American business, but we're going to continue to stick it to individuals and families' is strictly, and simply, unfair to the American people," House Speaker John Boehner said on Wednesday.
Administration officials have struggled with the task of launching the new online health insurance exchanges at the heart of the law, sometimes called Obamacare, by an Oct. 1 deadline. Their efforts to implement the law have been hampered by limited staff and financial resources, as well as by steady opposition from congressional Republicans.
Obama is expected to use his speech to spotlight an element of the law, formally called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which will be responsible for sending refund checks to some 8.5 million people as a result of lower insurance costs, officials told reporters on a conference call.
U.S. insurers will pay $500 million in rebates to employers and individuals because the law requires companies to pay refunds customers if they spend less than 80 percent of the premiums they collect on medical care, the administration said last month. That will mean an average rebate of $100 per family for about 8.5 million insurance customers, the government said.
The president will also tout lower-than-expected insurance rates in New York and a Department of Health and Human Services report concluding that cheaper insurance rates are likely to be the norm rather than the exception in 11 states.
New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Tuesday that New York state residents were likely to see their health insurance premiums cut in half as Obamacare draws people into health insurance markets. California said in May that rates would fall as much as 29 percent.
The HHS report will show that the costs of plans will be lower than originally anticipated. For example, in the 11 states covered in the study, the lowest-cost plan in the individual market in 2014 is on average 18 percent less expensive than previous government and congressional estimates, the administration said.
Similarly, the cost of the cheapest plan available to small employers in six states studied by the government is expected to be 18 percent lower than they would have paid for a similar plan before the law was enacted, officials said.
Some of the lower rates may be offered before the insurance marketplaces are opened in the fall, the administration said.
"While further work is needed to better understand 2014 rates, the results suggest that greater competition and transparency are leading to substantial benefits for both consumers and employers in these markets," the administration said in a fact sheet.
Obama is hoping to piggyback aboard the positive developments to support a critical component of the law: getting healthy young adults to register for health insurance plans to counterbalance older, sicker enrollees and hold down costs.
Administration officials hope to sign up 7 million people nationwide during an enrollment period that begins on Oct. 1 and runs until the end of March. They say they are zeroing in on an estimated 2.7 million healthy adults aged 18 to 25.
Republicans say the law will raise the costs of healthcare for all Americans, trigger an avalanche of new regulatory burdens on businesses, and inhibit hiring. The delays have given Republicans ammunition to argue that the law was a bad idea in the first place and could help in campaigns against Democrats in next year's congressional elections and beyond.

As it twists along the central California coast, fabled Highway 1 carries far more convertibles than your average road. Given a choice, who'd want to shut out any of Big Sur's cinematic scenery with a hardtop? Still, even with their roofs retracted, few motorists notice the soft-tops clustered above them, on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. They're yurts, the round tents long favored by nomads on the vast steppes of Mongolia. At Treebones Resort, they've proven equally well-suited to the grandeur of Big Sur.
Planted on platforms, the yurts feature such homey elements as wood doors and floors, lamps, heaters, skylights, and comfortable furniture. "It's like camping but better," declares a guest not accustomed to roughing it. "You come here after a day of hiking and it's as though someone pitched the tent for you. And you don't have to sleep on the ground."
The remarkable eco-resort was conceived and built by Corinne and John Handy, who bought the property two decades ago. "For years we came here as a family and camped," says Corinne. When the property was rezoned commercial, they realized others would enjoy the same experience: "People are looking for something different," John says. "This is a unique place to stay, hanging out on the edge of the continent."
In this still-wild spot, winter storms churn the sea and sometimes close roads. "We've had gusting 80-mile-an-hour winds," John says. "The yurts just shrug them off. They're inherently flexible and wind-resistant." All 16 yurts have hot-water sinks, with showers and toilets housed in separate, communal buildings. More than a way to curry favor with the public, the eco-friendly aspects are highly practical. Treebones is largely self-contained. A well supplies potable water. Electricity comes from quiet propane generators, and their exhaust heat warms the pool, hot tub, and bath floors.
A centrally located lodge contains the gift shop, reception area, and a dining room with a vaulted pine ceiling. "We wanted a community center where people could gather at the end of the day and share their adventures," John explains. At breakfast, guests fuel up on waffles, fruit, yogurt, and coffee. Dinner typically presents a choice of fish, chicken, or beef, all grilled over wood and served with vegetables.
After meals, a few guests happily retreat into their fabric cocoons, perhaps enjoying an in-room massage, occasionally emerging to soak in the hot tub or lounge on Adirondack chairs placed outside each yurt. While the resort can arrange guided hikes and sea kayaking with local outfitters, most visitors venture out on their own to sample Big Sur's bracing beauty. On both sides of Highway 1, easy hikes lead to glorious beaches, waterfalls, and ancient redwoods.
Nearby, the arches of Willow Creek Bridge curve theatrically above a boulder-strewn beach. A mile or two north, a long stairway leads down to cliff-backed Sand Dollar Beach. The surf here gallops ashore like stampeding horses, white manes flying. Farther up the highway, a trail at Limekiln State Park leads to a pretty cascade pouring over a vertical garden of mosses.
The restaurants and attractions clustered in the northern half of Big Sur are easy enough to reach from Treebones, in the emptier southern end. But guests find plenty to do without going far from their domed homes. For lunch, they pack a picnic or grab a table on nearby Lucia Lodge's clifftop terrace, where the burgers are as impressive as the view.
At day's end, traffic along Highway 1 dies down. Within the yurt's soft walls, natural sounds―waves breaking, elephant seals barking―lull lucky visitors to sleep.
The yurts seem a far cry from opulent Hearst Castle, 25 miles to the south. But consider this: For years before he built his seaside Xanadu, William Randolph Hearst and his family camped on their land in nicely furnished, wood-floor tents. Hearst loved this majestic coast, and no doubt he would have appreciated the rustic ease of Treebones Resort.

The Sunfix plus as parallel-installed version is a versatile support structure for installation of solar modules on pitched roofs. It is individually pre-fabricated as a complete set. This is based on the existing roof construction and the on-site static load requirements (orientation, snow and wind loads, etc.).
The Sunfix plus as elevated version is a support structure for the installation of PV modules. This means that it is possible to mount the PV modules in line with or towards the pitch of the roof. The roof pitch can be between 0° and 20°. It is possible to mount the modules at right angles to the roof pitch up to a pitch of 5° with reinforcing elements, and modules fixed at right angles even up to 20°.
The pre-assembled frames consisting of three aluminum angle profiles must be attached with bolts on-site. The mounting profiles are fitted in single or double layers under the flat roof frame. The structure depends on the orientation of the module and the roof construction.

Chandler named dean of the Arnold School of Public Health
G. Thomas "Tommy" Chandler, interim dean of the Arnold School of Public Health since August 2007, has been named dean of the school, effective immediately.
During his two-year tenure as interim dean, the school has added a popular bachelor's degree program in public health and maintained its perennial place among the top three schools and colleges within the University for external research funding.
Tom Chandler
"There is a lot of opportunity before us, and I'm excited about the University's commitment to building a new academic home for the Arnold School within the next three years," said Chandler, who first joined Carolina in 1987 as a post-doctoral fellow in the Baruch Institute.
Currently, only a portion of the school's faculty and labs are located in the new Public Health Research Center on Assembly Street; many more are located in the old Health Sciences building on Sumter Street. Plans call for building an office/classroom building beside the Assembly Street facility that will allow the school to gather all of its faculty and centers in one location.
President Harris Pastides was dean of the Arnold School when Chandler was chair of the school's Department of Environmental Health Sciences.
"I was impressed with Dr. Chandler's leadership as department chair then, and I've been even more impressed with his leadership as interim dean," said President Harris Pastides. "I'm looking forward to the school's accomplishments in the years ahead under his direction."
Immediate challenges facing the school include a need to replace several faculty who have left or retired in recent years, Chandler said.
"We've lost 17 tenure-track faculty in the past three years so a top priority is to reload our faculty appointments, especially in three departments that have been especially hard hit: health services, policy, and management; environmental health sciences; and epidemiology and biostatistics," he said. "We're hoping to add four to five new faculty per year during the next five years."
Chandler's other goals for the school include:
• providing high-quality academic training to students to help address an anticipated public health worker shortage of 250,000 by 2020.
• finding resources to improve diversity of minorities who are underrepresented in the school's student body, faculty, and staff
• encouraging development of novel cross-college interdisciplinary research and education programs
• meeting ambitious fund-raising goals
• bringing prominent public health speakers to campus for open public forums
• working with the School of Medicine to create significant exposure of medical students to public health concepts and tools
• leveraging the Greenville Hospital System initiative to bring quality graduate public health education to the Upstate
• move the Arnold School's ranking to top five in the South within five years through recruiting and retaining quality faculty with expertise in "southern state" health issues such as childhood obesity, diabetes, stroke, tobacco use, domestic violence, physical inactivity in children and adults, inadequate nutrition, environmental degradation, and poor design of built environments for health.

step 1, download the videos of the drills. you will need to unzip the files and have a divx codec. if you can't do that, ask someone other than me for help.
Spyderpride has been kind enough to upload the videos to youtube.
step 2, read each text here BEFORE watching the video. read it, watch the video, read it again, watch the video, do it. watch the video as needed.
step 3, if you have a question, make sure you did what step 2 entailed. i won't answer any questions about it if i feel like you skipped this part.
*IMPORTANT NOTE* For drills involving the "fake grip" I highly suggest taping up the first segment of your index finger with duct tape or athletic tape or wearing a batting glove or something similar. Unless you are a mechanic or carpenter or something of that nature, this may rip up your finger if you don't have a sufficient callous.
*IMPORTANT NOTE #2* Do not try to STRONG ARM these drills. They are meant to be performed in a fairly relaxed fashion with an emphasis on fluidity and timing more than brute force. When done properly your body should be fine as long as you don't over-do it (e.g. it would be unwise to do 200 hammer pounds in a row). If you try to over-muscle any of these you are risking the chance of injury.
*IMPORTANT NOTE #3* It's wise to stay away from glass when you are performing these drills.
*IMPORTANT NOTE #4* These all assume you are right handed. If you're a lefty, shift the references to fit you.
Part 1: The Fake Grip and Pounding the Hammer
The fake grip is shown above. It's basically the opposite of a thumber grip. No fingers should be on the rim.
Drill 1: Start with the disc on a vertical plane in front of your right shoulder while using the fake grip. Your wrist should begin in the open position (bent backwards). In a relaxed manner, drop your arm and snap your wrist at the end like you are trying to pound in a nail at your waist. The key here is to GLIDE in and feel the natural weight shift of the disc. Once your forearm stops falling the disc will continue due to gravity and inertia. When you feel the disc trying to "fall" under its own power, grip down and snap your wrist to the closed position (bent forwards).
If you time this incorrectly, the disc will pretty much slip out of your hand. That is a sign you are muscling it and/or fighting against the natural weight shift of the disc.
Pay specific attention and notice how fast the disc whips around when you time the pounding of the hammer correctly. Focus on the feeling of pounding the hammer. If you feel some recoil at the bottom sort of like when you hit a nail and have the hammer head bounce back up, that is a good thing.
WATCH VIDEO: fakegrip1.divx
Drill 2: Still using the fake grip, shift the disc to a (somewhat) flat horizontal plane. Start with the disc just beyond the right side of your body. The wrist should be open (bent backwards). Repeat drill 1 but like you are pounding a nail just beyond the left side of your body. Glide in, feel the weight shift of the disc and snap your wrist at the end. Focus on the feeling of pounding the hammer.
If you time this incorrectly, the disc will pretty much slip out of your hand. That is a sign you are muscling it and/or fighting against the natural weight shift of the disc.
If you feel some recoil at the bottom sort of like when you hit a nail and have the hammer head bounce back up, that is a good thing.
WATCH VIDEO: fakegrip2.divx
Part 2: Converting the Hammer Pound for Sidearm and Overhand Throws
Drill 3: Adjust your grip to a 1 or 2 finger sidearm grip (I recommend 2). Feel this one out, don't just fall back on a grip that someone taught you or you read about at some point in time. Repeat Drill 1 with the new grip. The grip should seem SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than the fake grip. If it's awkward, keep adjusting your grip until you have one that really "hooks" the rim well and strengthens the hammer pound.
This second time through the drill you should be fully adept at feeling the weight shift of the disc. Start relaxed with an open wrist. Glide down and pound. By now the disc should be whipping around at the end nearly twice as fast as with the fake grip. The recoil bounce back should be noticeable and you should be able to build a rhythm, doing 3+ consecutive hammer pounds with only a minor pause in between.
At this point it's easy to cheat and use your fingers to pull the disc rather than having it drop naturally through inertia and gravity. If you aren't getting a quick "whoosh" sound as the disc whips around, I'd recommend switching back to the fake grip and building a feel for the timing.
The quick snap around of the disc at the bottom should feel VERY strong even though your arm is basically relaxed.
WATCH VIDEO: hammer1.divx
For overhand throwing the same concepts apply and you can find some variation on drills 1 and 3 to accommodate different throwing trajectories. e.g. pounding a nail that is above your head and pointing 45 degrees upwards and towards you, pounding a nail in front of your face, etc.
Drill 4: Using the same grip you found in Drill 3, repeat drill 2 by shifting the new grip to the horizontal plane. Pound the hammer sidearm from the right edge of your body to the left edge. Focus on the same points of Drill 3.
At this point you have a usable sidearm technique that should yield controlled 250'+ shots with little, if any OAT. Basically, you probably won't need super overstable discs for sidearm unless you are going for a strong right fade and your understable drivers will likely s-curve.
Additional tips:
-Reach back on the same plane you plan to throw on. Many people have the impulse to reach back behind their right ear. This will breed OAT and mistiming. You may work towards it in the future but for the time being, focus on reaching on the same plane that you intend to throw on. Usually, this is just like the starting point of the sidearm hammer pound but reaching slightly farther.
-If you are trying to throw flat or hyzer, keep your right shoulder noticeably lower than your left shoulder. This does not apply for anhyzers.
-Getting the nose down is a factor of letting your wrist close all the way through the snap, getting your weight over your left foot, and letting your right shoulder continue its forward follow-through.
WATCH VIDEO: hammer2.divx
Part 3: The Backhand In-Motion, Pound the Backhand Hammer
Drill 5: Repeat the sidearm hammer 2-3 times until you really feel it. Upon completing it change to a backhand grip. Starting with the disc in front of your stomach and your wrist slightly curled around the disc. Your elbow should be out from your body and not tight to your body. Pound the hammer backhand like you are smashing a nail that is out beyond the right side of your body. Relax, glide in, feel the weight shift of the disc and pound it at the end. Focus on snapping your forearm out there and letting the wrist go through its full motion.
Your wrist should be opening all the way and there should be a noticeable recoil bounce back.
Repeat this several times until you have a feel.
WATCH VIDEO: hammer3.divx
This form is self-correcting. If you swing wide, you can't pound the hammer. If you swing with rushed shoulders, you can't pound the hammer. If you are tense and rigid, you can't pound the hammer.
You'll probably find that you don't need to use any torso, shoulders, or legs to get a strong hammer pound. When you hit the field try throwing while focusing on the hammer pound and no extra body motion. You should find you are getting fast, straight throws (hardly any turn/fade) and all of this without a run up, huge reach back, etc.
To build power you can slowly integrate in longer motions. Work from the hit back and only add things if the feel and timing makes the hammer pound STRONGER. If it doesn't contribute to the hammer pound, get rid of it or change it until it does make things stronger.
Drill 6: Shift things to a vertical plane if you are having trouble feeling it. Basically, curl your right arm up like you are flexing your bicep. Your hand should be slightly over the disc. Drop the hammer backhand but similar in feel to Drills #1 and #3. This is an excellent "pre-throw" feel builder. It puts gravity on your side and assists in feeling the natural weight shift of the disc.
This is also why it will be easier to pound the hammer on anhyzer throws than on flat or hyzer throws.
WATCH VIDEO: hammer4.divx
Part 4: Incomplete... this is where I'm stuck.
Part 3 taught you how to half hit it. Players who hit it half-way will usually plateau in the 425-440' range (although many will find themselves closer to 380-400'). Hitting it fully is the big jump that leads to 475'+ throws. I'm still working on the drill that teaches this feel. Basically, the drill that teaches how to pivot and sling the disc as easy as the other drills.
Part 5: Learning to Aim
To learn to aim, repeat drill 5 and focus on the "end point" of the motion (pre-recoil). When you have an idea of where that is, return your arm, wrist, and disc into that position after a good pound. The elbow will NOT be fully straightened. It will be straighter but there will still be some bend. If your elbow is fully straightening your timing is off and you are likely to hyper extend your elbow. Your wrist will be bent back quite far and your thumb will likely be pointing in the same direction that your right shoulder is. This is where the disc will go. To hit that line, focus on pounding the hammer and reaching that position. The disc should launch from that point.
You will also have to have weight forward or you will be prone to grip-locking.
Part 6: The Hammer Head
You don't really need to know this to perform the drills but this might help the visualization process.
The Sidearm and Overhand hammer head position is pretty easy. It's on the opposite edge of the disc from your grip.
The hammer head is the red.
The Backhand hammer head is a bit more conceptual. It's in front of the opposite edge of the disc. It's easy to feel where the weight is but if you are trying to visualize it, it's actually out in free space.
It might help with the feel to initiate the hammer pounds by pulling the bottom of the "handle" towards the "nail" at the very beginning of the swing.
Part 4 Faliure #1: The Yo-yo
The first failed attempt at Part 4 is called the yo-yo. This involves a drill similar to Drill #6 but with a modified grip. To find a grip for this drill, hook your index finger onto the rim of the disc and pinch on top with your thumb. If you hold the disc vertically it should resemble the "holding a stinky diaper as far away as possible" stereotype. You should be able to swing the disc like a pendulum side to side on a vertical plane with your finger hooked at the top.
The next step is a repeat of Drill #6 but instead of pounding the hammer, feel it similarly to slinging a yo-yo. Grip loosely with the middle, ring, and pinky fingers but keep a good hook with your index and pinch with your thumb. Pay special attention to the disc rolling forward slightly in your palm (it's ~1") and then "jumping" off your palm as the wrist bends way backwards. The disc should pivot out of your hand and swing around at the bottom, hitting the flesh web between your index finger and thumb.
WATCH VIDEO: yoyo.divx
Why this is useful in the slightest even though it's a failure
This is basically the feeling of throwing a backhand roller and it also teaches the feeling of palm ejection, which is a large part of both throwing with snap and putting.
Part 4 Faliure #2: The Flip-Back
The second failed attempt at Part 4 I termed the flip-back. Do a sidearm hammer pound (drill #4) but pay attention to the finishing point like in Part 5. If your grip is well-suited to the hammer pound you should notice that your wrist is closed almost all the way and that your finger-tips are naturally pulling into your palm. At this end point something should be interesting: it basically looks like the backhand hammer pound starting grip position.
Shift now to a 2-finger backhand grip. Pound the hammer and focus on snapping it at the end. With only a 2-finger grip the disc should pivot through the hand and stop at the sidearm hammer pound starting grip position.
Basically, you should be able to flip back and forth between a 2-finger backhand grip and a 2-finger sidearm grip.
WATCH VIDEO: flipback.divx
Why this is useful in the slightest even though it's a failure
The backhand to sidearm grip flip teaches the feel for the disc pivot in the hand that initiates the sling. Why this drill fails is that it doesn't teach the timing of the motions. You can have poor timing and still get a pivot. A firm, quick, explosive pivot happens when there's only a slight "nudge" initiating it. That nudge is the pre-cursor to the final sling in a full hit backhand throw (although their motions are nearly simultaneous, it's really a very fast sequence).
Both myself and Dan have had a few students who had success in this way, mostly with players who were throwing 360-380' and pushing them to 430-450' when they had this feel down.
Part 4 Faliure #3: The Lever
Grip the disc like you are holding a steering wheel with 1 hand, leaned back, and trying to look cool while cruising. Your hand should be at 12 o'clock with the majority of your palm on top of the disc. Your fingers will be curled under and onto the rim wall, intersecting the rim at ~90 degrees. The disc should be pretty much perpendicular to the forearm and seam of the hand. This isn't a drill meant for throwing, just for establishing a feel.
Lean forward slightly and dangle your arm in front of you with your arm straight until you are holding the disc at about mid-thigh height (it will vary based upon your arm length). The disc should be between your hand and your body. Slowly rock your right shoulder back and forth letting your arm and the disc pendulum back and forth in a completely relaxed manner. Gradually increase the distance the pendulum travels to the right side. As you pass beyond the right side of your body and get a ways away, you should notice that your hand naturally rotates from being on the far edge of the disc (opposite from your body) to the right edge of the disc. As you build this feel start to use a quicker shoulder motion to the right and pull around the disc so that your hand turns around the disc to the near edge of the disc. Push with your thumb as you pull through the turn.
You should feel the edge of the disc opposite your grip being "levered" out and around. Do this a few times to build the feel.
WATCH VIDEO: lever.divx
This drill just didn't integrate well with the hammer pound.
Why this is useful in the slightest even though it's a failure
This teaches the feel of leverage that is the focus of Swedish technique. You would never throw with this grip but it really gives a feel for how they can crank the disc around so hard even though many of them throw with very little elbow bend.
If you can find a way to combine the lever with the hammer pound you are on the right track.
In Closing
This is a work in progress but I wanted to get it out there before the warm weather and daylight goes away. I know there was a lot of build-up behind this as I was trying to get some testers for it. I hope what it is so far isn't as big of a letdown as the Segway
Basically, this is an easy method to a 250'+ OAT-free sidearm and an easy ticket to 350'+ backhand with natural flaw correction. My goal was to get an easy ticket to 480' but that just hasn't happened yet and I'm pretty disappointed in myself for not finding it yet. Hopefully I'll come to something soon or someone else will be able to build upon what I've written so far.
A lot of these ideas are heavily influenced and built off of ideas by talks I've had with Brad Walker and Dan Beto, so I want to give them credit for this as well.

Let's see what happens - hope they don't drag him up if he's not well enough.
you guys just asked this question... Apple, iPhone and iPad Forums at ModMyi - Steve Jobs to Introduce iPhone 5 Tomorrow?
I don't think some random tech blogger is a reliable source about how well or not Jobs is. I may as well have written that article instead.
No matter who is there we will have to accept the fact. We will have to get use of Tim Cook. If he is ill and can't make it I will support him more than anyone. However I will have to adjust because Steve is the one that I liked, he is the one I felt was cool and he was the one that caught my attention and his style! If he shows up that is great!If Tim Cook is there that is great also!
[QUOTE=raduga;6256120]What irks me is the way the title is written, that makes it look like a direct quote from Jobs.
If you'd written it yourself, the article would be full of orange text and we'd all know better.
I luvz my orange. UT is doing great again this year... we'll see how they fare against OU this weekend.
Obviously he was too ill to miss this event RIP.

Funny thing is the wife will come sit down with me and watch a few without saying a word then when the show is over she will get up and say "I have better things to do then watch hunting shows" You know she likes them too but won't admit it.

Even in cooler temperatures, don't leave kids in car
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- More than 600 children have died from heat stroke over the past 15 years after they were left in a parked vehicle. More than half of those deaths happened when the child was forgotten in the vehicle.
"It's certainly more common in the summer when it is hotter outside, but actually these types of deaths have been recorded in 11 months out of the year. It can happen even when it's pretty cool outside," said AAA Ohio's Kimberly Schwind.
Temperatures inside a vehicle can rise about 20 degrees within 10 minutes. The body of a child heats up three to five times faster than adults. Cracking windows or parking in the shade don't make much of a difference in keeping the vehicle cool, according to Schwind.
The best suggestion is to always take children out of the vehicle when you get out. Schwind says you can create a system to make sure you don't forget a quiet or sleeping child.
"Leaving the diaper bag in the front seat when you have the child in the backseat or setting reminders on your phone. You can even leave a stuffed toy in the car seat when no child is in the car. Then when the child is in the car you can move that toy to the front seat," Schwind said.
Not all deaths come from children being left in a vehicle. Some come from children playing around vehicles and locking themselves inside.
"Make sure that children know the car is not a jungle gym. It's not a place to play," she said.
She also suggests you always give 911 a call if you spot an unattended child in a vehicle.

Time: 7 pm
Tickets: $10 – General admission
$5 – Students with ID
After bursting onto the scene at (Le) Poisson Rouge in August with a preview of its technically and musically uncompromising standards, the newest period-instrument orchestra in New York City, New York Baroque Incorporated, fires up the second concert of its inaugural season at the Church of St. Luke and St. Matthew, on December 9, at 7:00 p.m. presented by the Church of St. Luke and St. Matthew & Gallim Dance as part of their series, Second Sundays. Entitled The Big Bang, the program is a creation story in music. Opening with the extraordinary depiction of chaos from Jean-Féry Rébel's Les élémens, the audience is taken to the very beginnings of the universe. From there, the evening proceeds through depictions of the aquatic world, animals, storms, and finally human love, in the music of Telemann (Wassermusik), Handel (Overture from Amadigi di Gaula. Storm from Riccardo primo, re d'Inghilterra), Farina (Capriccio Stravagante), and Rameau (Entrée d' Abaris from Les Boréades).
Together with the Church of St. Luke & St. Matthew, Gallim Dance presents Second Sundays, a year-long performance series that brings dancers, musicians, writers, filmmakers, and creative thinkers of all kinds together for intimate, hour-long programs on the second Sunday of each month.

About the Ensemble:
New York Baroque Incorporated (NYBI) is a conductor-less orchestra of young players of Baroque instruments in New York City, striving to bring the city vital, informed, and fresh performances of 17th and 18th century repertoire, and to build a vibrant landscape for collaborations between early music and other art forms. Founded in 2012 by alumni and graduate students from Juilliard's Historical Performance Program, it is self-managed and self-governing. The inaugural season of NYBI, 2012-13, will also include a collaboration with world-renowned Baroque violinist Monica Huggett in March.
The players of NYBI include winners of the Early Music America/Naxos Recording Competition, Audience Award winners of EMA Baroque Performance Competition, finalists of the York Early Music Competition, and recipients of the Jacob K.

LAKEWOOD - Howard Chambers is expected to receive a three-year contract during Tuesday's City Council meeting to return as city manager, a position he held 34 years.
Chambers retired in early 2011, but agreed to remain as interim city manager on a part-time basis for another year.
During its Jan. 24 meeting, the council unanimously agreed to rehire Chambers effective March 1 for a three-year contract and authorized the city attorney to write the employment agreement.
If the council approves the proposed contract today, Chambers, 67, will rescind his retirement March 1 and return as city manager.
His salary will be $225,000, which is less than his previous salary of $240,000, and he will have full-time use of a city-owned Honda Civic natural gas vehicle. Chambers will be an at-will employee with no right to severance pay if his contract is terminated, according to the proposed contract.
In other actions, the council will hear an update on its water conservation rebate program, which began last May.
The city offers residents credits on their water bills if they take voluntary action to curb outdoor water use, including bill rebates from $5 to $50 for the purchase of water-saving irrigation devices such as sprinkler rotor nozzles and drip irrigation kits.
The program provide rebates of up to $80 for the removal of turf and its replacement with water-conserving landscaping or water permeable surfaces.
The proposed update, however, will increase the amount of turf removal eligible for a rebate from 80 to 800 square feet and the rebate itself from $80 to $800.
The proposed update also increases the time frame for completing the turf removal from two to six months.
Other conservation devices eligible for rebates will be added to the list.
For more information on the program, go to www.lakewoodcity.org/waterrebates. Residents also can download the rebate application for purchasing water-saving devices and initiate the process for receiving their discounts.

Fugitive shot and killed in Ridgefield
The intense manhunt for Derral Mosby came to an end at his parent's home in Ridgefield, Washington Friday afternoon.
Mosby was wanted for several crimes and considered by police to be armed and dangerous.
It was more than a week ago that police shut down the Gee Creek rest area on I-5 north of Vancouver, because they received a tip he was there.
Police considered him a threat to relatives in the area.
Friday morning, they searched a farm where Mosby's father works. Then later in the day, Clark County SWAT surrounded the house where Mosby's parents live and he was inside.
After a three hour standoff, Mosby came out armed with a gun, shots were fired and Mosby was killed. No officers were injured.
His parents weren't in the house.
The Sheriff's Office has not released additional details about the case.

Next spring, Johnson could either win the reserve catcher's job from Tony Cruz or serve as a veteran minor league reserve. Recently, long-time Memphis catcher Bryan Anderson became a free agent.
McClellan, 28, was arbitration-eligible and likely in line for a raise despite an injury-plagued 2012. He appeared to have been squeezed out by younger, more promising relievers. The local product had been the longest-serving member of the Cardinals bullpen, having first reached the majors to open the 2008 season.
In 2011, McClellan opened the year in the rotation for injured Adam Wainwright, and went on to pitch a career-high 141 2/3 innings. He missed most of the post-season as a result of arm fatigue and was limited to just 18 2/3 frames in 2012 before requiring shoulder surgery.
The Cardinals' 25th round selection in the 2002 draft finishes his St. Louis career having pitched in 261 games, all but 17 in relief. McClellan's St. Louis ERA was 3.69.
Johnson had several short stints with the New York Mets but spent most of 2012 with their Triple-A Buffalo club or on the disabled list. He missed time with knee and thumb injuries last summer.
The right-handed hitter had been a member of the Seattle Mariners from 2007-2010. He was dealt to San Diego prior to the 2011 season, and made the club as their reserve catcher. Johnson signed a minor league free agent contract with the Mets prior to the 2012 season after becoming a free agent last October when refusing the Padres' minor league assignment.
The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Montana native has compiled a .201 career batting mark with eight home runs and 62 RBI in 245 major league games. He batted .250 in 17 games with the Mets in 2012 before suffering a torn ligament in his left thumb that ended his season on August 20. Johnson refused an outright assignment by the Mets last month, and again became a free agent.
