I'm tired of being up against the salary-cap. It's only going to get worse with Stafford's next contract. I do believe he is a franchise QB, but I think we can have way more balance with an above-average QB. Wilson reminds me of Eli Manning, smart and productive. IMO having Matt Flynn will be a great stop-gap. Calvin needs a difference maker at the #2 spot. I think Floyd had a hard first year in Zona, but their QB situation is dreadful. Peterson is emerging as a shut-down corner and is a weapon on special teams. Pettigrew has value left and St Louis needs someone for Bradford. Ertz is a lot like Jimmy Graham, great in space with limited in-line blocking. That's where Dion Sims comes in. This guy is a load. I love how Seattle plays defense. Basically with 3 DT's and a DE. They have a Joker LB for rushing. Ronnell Lewis and Tahir Whitehead played this position in college, natural transition. I would love to see Suh get down to 290 and muscle up. I think he could be absolutely dominant at DE. Michael Johnson has been very productive in Cincinnati. Big enough to play the run, very good rusher. I like Lawrence Jackson. Good size. I would go Eric Reid in the first round for his size. Seattle plays with DB's that 6'3 and more, except for Earl Thomas. I really like Tony Jefferson and Matt Elam and both would be great if Reid is gone. Cox is a big CB too. I like Chris Houston, but he's unreliable with injuries. Peterson is going to be dominant in this defense. Plus we need a difference maker on returns. I want Delmas to prove he can stay healthy. I'd give him 2 million first year and make him earn roster bonuses for the remainder years. He can be Ed Reed, but has to stay healthy. Amerson is an intriguing prospect. Very big and fast. I think he could transition to free safety.
I love Schwartz, but he's not getting it done. The wide 9 is done in the league. Great for 3rd and long, but otherwise is a one trick pony. Look at Philly's problems with it. Ken Norton Jr was a freak linebacker when he played. High energy, very disciplined. He's been in this system since Pete Caroll went to USC. I love the fact he played for Jimmy Johnson.
I admire what Bruce Arians has done with the Colts as an interim head coach. I think he's a fantastic OC and seems to handling head coaching duties very well.
I know I will be vilified for getting rid of Stafford. I just don't think he is a leader of men. That is what a QB needs to be. He has all the talent in the world, but won't be a winning QB. I think Wilson has all the tools to be very good.

Lot of creativitie I'll give you that. I think you knew making this mock that obviously the Stafford deal wouldn't prolly ever happen, but it's a good attempt.
CB's Peterson/Cox would be solid cover guys. I like QB Tyler Wilson but not more than Stafford right now. An I really don't like that you traded Stafford, drafted Wilson and didn't have the confidence he'd be able to start. Makes me question the trade to begin, whats the reason other than you think Stafford is a loser(which is questionable).

Where are we getting all this money? We don't save much money from your cuts and we'd owe Stafford MILLIONS if we trade him. Maybe 10 per year! We easily be 20-30 million over the cap if not more!
This is a disgrace. This is just awful. If I was Calvin and we pulled this [inappropriate/removed], I'd hold out until I was traded or just retire.
3+ to Gosder
3 to Jackson
5 to Delmas
4 to Levy
3 to Sammie
2 to Williams
About 5 for the RFA's
Cutting KVB saves like 1 million but costs like 8 for the next 2 years
Burleson saves like 2
Why let Houston walk? Are you on crack?
The Stafford trade. We still owe 10-15 million for those players to play on other teams. Then add PP & Floyd's contracts.
No way in hell we get Marshall value for Pettigrew. Put down the pipe.
Owe 1.5 on Hill and 6 for Flynn. Thats 7.5 for a WORSE BACKUP!?!!!
6 to Cox too bad we don't have that money
5 to a freaking bust
7 to a poor mans Avril!
The min for Okoye is too low
Bennett won't leave for that contract
1.5 to a rich man Kassim Osgood
Then the draft. Wilson wishes he could be Stafford. Reid probably won't be that low & Balt is too smart to draft Te'o. Ertz is a reach. Amerson is actually good, too bad Delmas is in his spot. Jones won't last that long. Same for Franklin. Then a reach. Won't last. Reach again. WTF again.
I couldn't even laugh at this it's so awful. This isn't baseball, there's a spending limit.

Having a franchise QB on the roster and trading him for a stop-gap and a drafted QB is something garbage franchises do.
The Broncos were an example of this, until Peyton Manning fell into their laps.
Also, if we were to trade Stafford for some ridiculous reason, it would take a lot more than what you have there.

This mock really shows the quality of educational system in this country.
I have argued or a long time that classes in logic should be taught in high school to prevent certain issues.
Its a shame I have been proven correct again.

For those that attacked the OP rather than the mock, way to go.
You might not agree with the mock but that doesn't mean there wasn't a great deal of thought and effort put into it.
If you can't be bothered to give a quality rebuttal to the mock then don't bother to post.

They had him loose weight to play the position they had him in. It took him several weeks to get on the field for us because he was so light. He wouldn't be in the same OLB position in my mock. He'd be a DE.

Roy, your surfboards perform terribly in all aspects compared to all other boards. Your opinion about this is different because it is wrong. You should only ask $2000 maximum, more than that is being selfish. I truly believe you are not a good person. Please dont reply to this i dont care
Here is a review of a Stuart board's abilities as written by an no-agenda Randy Rarick. The whole thing is a longer article, but the part that's of interest is performance, right? Cause that's what's being claimed is 'revolutionary.'
Randy Rarick is being charitable & diplomatic in his performance review of a Stuart board he rode in Hawaii in 2008:
"For Hawaii, you don't need that much rocker. Maybe some nose lift to keep from pearling, but the extreme rocker didn't fit in the curve of the wave and just seemed to slow it down. While the soft rails in the nose are very forgiving, to extend it all the way to the tail makes if feel like an old '60's tanker. I would add some rovings and build up an edge in the tail so that you get some release off the tail. As of now, with the soft rolled rail in the tail, the water wraps over the rail and that combined with the extreme tail lift, just makes it slow down. There is simply no release in the tail. The fin as mentioned above is more area than necessary for the tail width and just tends to create additional drag. Template wise, I would of moved the wide point forward to allow more tail rail, which would of improved the "run" aspect of the board, as now with the curve in the back, it just cuts down what "turning" radius there is. The rocker is way too extreme and you could cut off two feet of nose and it would not hamper the performance of the board in any way. This particular board, as mentioned was fun to ride. The only problem is that I had to make it work. It didn't make it easy for me. I doubt I would want to take it out in anything much hollower than what I had it in, since as I mentioned above, there was no way I could get any drive off the bottom. On a big facy wave it would be fun, but the idea of taking this out to Pipeline would be a scary thought in my opinion."
Doesn't sound like it's worth being in Costco, let alone $500k. People buying this thing really are clown acts.
Sorry, but Randy is totally wrong, he only rode 6 waves and fell off on four of them.
Take his comments re. rocker for example, he claims to be a surfboard designer but makes the newbie mistake of saying that the board has a an extreme rocker when it is in fact on the low to moderate side.
His comments re. release are just as silly. The tail is a low drag displacement tail, the water is designed to wrap over it and all the release occurs at the pintail.
There's a lot more BS in there too, but that's enough to be getting on with. Bottom line is that he failed to ride the board as it is designed to be ridden, and failed to realise that this was due to rider error.
Ok, I get it. Everyone is wrong. But you. You are the surfboard way & the truth.
BTW, you're the one who said it's essentially unparalleled in wave-catching function. Yet, a guy with decades of experience on all types of boards "failed." Not the equipment. The rider.
Got it. This is just free PR for you, isn't it? Along the lines of 'any publicity is good publicity.'
I'm out.
Your suggestion that I've said that myself and my boards are "the way" is also wrong, I've never said that. My comments on the performance of these designs are specific, and qualified by specific performance goals.
That is correct.Quote:
BTW, you're the one who said it's essentially unparalleled in wave-catching function. Yet, a guy with decades of experience on all types of boards "failed."
Not the equipment.
The rider.
Got it.
It was rider error, and an inability to admit it or adjust to the requirements of the shape.
It doesn't even matter if this board can perform ok. It is still a scam. The guy thinks people walk longboards to keep balance. I can ride in one spot on my friend's Allison and keep perfect balance. Maybe poor nooB surfers are just better at longboarding.

WATCH: Selena Gomez becomes Jimmy Fallon's latest singing partner
Listen to Selena Gomez on iHeartRadio
Jimmy Fallon has a new duet partner.
On Tuesday's "Late Night," the host teamed up with guest Selena Gomez to sing his revamped version of a YouTube song by Sam Hart called "Mario Kart Love Song."
Fallon called the original "the greatest love song of all time," explaining that it "combines the timelessness of love with the timelessness of Mario Kart." But he said he thought it should be a duet, so he "wrote up some new verses from the female perspective."
They enhanced their performance by singing dressed as Mario and Princess Peach. Selena appeared on "Fallon" to promote her new film, Spring Breakers.
Check out the video:
"Mario Kart Love Song" lyrics:
You be my princess and I'll be your toad
I'll follow behind you on rainbow road
I'll protect you from red shells wherever we go
I promise
You be my toad and I'll be your peach
I'll follow behind you on koopa beach
I may take a shortcut but I'll never cheat
I promise
No one will touch us if we pick up a star
And if you spin out you can ride in my car
When we slide together we generate sparks
In our wheels and our hearts
And the finish line is just around the bend
I'll pause this game so our love will never end
Let's go again
The blue shell is coming so I'll go ahead
If you hang behind it'll hit me instead
But never look back 'cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you
I'll wait for you if you hit a chain chomp
And I won't go on if you're flattened by thwomp
We'll rank it together or finish on top
You're my special car
The finish line is just around the bend
I'll pause this game so our love will never end
Let's go again
To the Mushroom Cup and the Flower Cup and the Star Cup
And the Reverse Cup
Check out Selena's interview:

You can determine who is using resources on your local computer with the "net" command ("net session"), however, there is no built-in way to determine who is using the resources of a remote computer. In addition, NT comes with no tools to see who is logged onto a computer, either locally or remotely. PsLoggedOn is an applet that displays both the locally logged on users and users logged on via resources for either the local computer, or a remote one. If you specify a user name instead of a computer, PsLoggedOn searches the computers in the network neighborhood and tells you if the user is currently logged on.
PsLoggedOn's definition of a locally logged on user is one that has their profile loaded into the Registry, so PsLoggedOn determines who is logged on by scanning the keys under the HKEY_USERS key. For each key that has a name that is a user SID (security Identifier), PsLoggedOn looks up the corresponding user name and displays it. To determine who is logged onto a computer via resource shares, PsLoggedOn uses the NetSessionEnum API. Note that PsLoggedOn will show you as logged on via resource share to remote computers that you query because a logon is required for PsLoggedOn to access the Registry of a remote system.
Just copy PsLoggedOn onto your executable path, and type "psloggedon".

Enrichment Tracks
Astronomy & Astrophysics
Astronomy is the branch of Physics that deal with the observation of planets, comets, asteroids, stars, and other astronomical bodies. As we observe the distant galaxies, we are looking at light we are seeing the universe as its was millions of years ago when the light began its journey to our telescope. Thus, our telescope is in effect a time machine. Astrophysics is the branch of physics where the laws of physics are used to try and explain astronomical phenomena including black holes, formation of galaxies, the life-cycle of stars, etc. Astrophysics is strongly connected to high energy particle (nuclear) physics. Our observations tell us that the universe was at extremely high energies (temperatures) just after the big bang. At these energies the force interactions were different than at the cooler temperatures of today. Particle physicists use large accelerators like the LHC to move to these high temperatures to test the laws of physics under this different energy regimes. Astrophysics has been successful in explaining many things including how the elements of the universe are formed, how galaxies are formed, how stars give off energy, etc.
Students in the Astronomy/Astrophysics portion of the camp will be given an introduction into optical and radio telescopes, astronomical objects (galaxies, stars, planets, etc) as well as techniques for performing and analyzing astronomical data. Students will construct a reflection telescope including determining the focal length of the primary mirror. Students will learn to remotely operate the Tarleton 32" robotic telescope (largest of any U.S. undergraduate institution) to collect light curves from astronomical objects and will use computer artificial intelligence techniques to analyze the light curves from binary stars.
For additional information about this area contact either Dr. Shaukat Godery and Dr. Michael Hibbs.
Optics & Lasers
Optics is one of the oldest and most exciting areas in physics. Following Charles Town invention of the Maser and subsequent development of the laser, physicists have used these instruments both to develop working devices for telecommunications, medicine, and other applications as well as to study the fundamental nature of the atom and the laws of physics. Today, physicists are studying the possibility of teleportation, quantum entanglement, quantum computing, and quantum cryptography among many other areas using lasers. They are also using lasers to detect anthrax as well as internal confinement to try and produce fusion for clean energy. The application of lasers for less invasive and more precise surgery as well as biological testing is changing medicine. Students in this area will be given an introduction to the physics of optics including the principles of reflection, refraction, diffraction, polarization, and interference. The students will do a wide range of laboratory exercises including measuring the wavelength of a laser using an interferometer, proving Snell's Law and the Law of Malus, finding the Brewster angle, and making a hologram.
For more information about this camp, contact Dr. Daniel Marble in the Tarleton Physics Program at 254-968-9880
The great power of electricity is our ability to control the electricity force in a manner not possible with other forces. Today, physicists and engineers can adjust the conductivity (ability of a material to conduct electricity) by 40 orders of magnitude (that is 1 followed by forty zeros!!). The development of the transistor by physicists William Shockley, John Bardeen, and electrical engineer William Bratten at Bell Laboratory just after World War II was one of the most important developments of the twentieth century. Today, it is estimated that there are 40,000,000 transistors for every human. These devices provide us with the wealth of inexpensive electronic devices from radios and televisions to computers. Students in this area will be taught the physics behind AC/DC circuits and construct several circuits. Students will construct a power supply using a center-tap transformer and full wave rectifier. Students will also learn the basics behind select solid state devices and integrated circuits including diodes, transistors, 555 timers and operational amplifiers and perform laboratory exercises with these devices.

Nuclear Physics Physics
Tarleton is located 30 miles Southwest of Comanche Peak Nuclear Plant the site of two of Texas' four nuclear reactors and is one of only five undergraduate universities in the U.S. with a tandem particle accelerator lab. Tarleton also has one of only two undergraduate physics programs with a specialized medical physics track.
Nuclear power is expected to be a major player in meeting the future energy needs of Texas with as many as eight more reactors being proposed for construction over the next 15 years. Thus, Texas needs skilled workers in the nuclear power area and jobs are expected to grow in order to staff new facilities and to deal with an aging workforce at existing facilities.
However, most people don't know that nuclear physics concepts are far more prevalent in their lives than just nuclear power and that whether you get your energy from a nuclear power plant or from gasoline all energy originates in someway from a nuclear process. Furthermore, all atoms beyond hydrogen are also produced by nuclear processes inside large fusion reactors that we call Stars. Nuclear physics is what provides the power for everything in the universe from your car to planets to human beings. Energy from nuclear reactions is stored in plants where it is eventually turned into oil, gas, and coal. Nuclear energy from the sun is stored in the energy of oceans where it enables fish life and provides the power for hurricanes. Nuclear radioactivity inside our earth adds to nuclear energy from the sun that heats our planet and makes life possible. The techniques of nuclear physics are also extremely useful in medicine where nuclear techniques are used in medical imaging, treatment of cancer and in engineering where they enable use to create smaller devices and to detect impurities. We use large nuclear accelerators as time machines to travel back to when the Cosmos first began and to study the smallest features of the atom. You are probably using a former nuclear lab device, Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), to read this web page.
Students in this area will be instructed in Faraday's Law of Magnetic Induction for electricity generation, perform experiments with step-up and step-down transformers, learn about the principles of operation of nuclear reactors and of vacuum technology, setup a nuclear detection system and measure the radiation from terrestrial and food sources including soil, bananas, Brazilian nuts, etc. Students will also engage in a project using Tarleton's tandem accelerator to analyze a material using a nuclear technique such as Rutherford Backscattering.

Medical Physics
Physics plays an important part in understanding human physiology including the nervous system, hearing, vision, and circulatory system. Physicists have developed many medical techniques including Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Positron Electron Tomography, CT, and proton therapy. Medical Physics is a branch of physics which applies physics for therapeutic applications and diagnostic imaging. With the rapid expansion of nuclear medicine, accelerator based radiation therapy and other physics based techniques, Medical Physics is one of the most rapidly growing and better paying medical areas. Tarleton's Physics program has one of only two undergraduate physics programs in Texas with a Medical Physics track to prepare students for graduate study in Medical Physics. Students in this area will take advantage of Tarleton's medical physics laboratory equipment to perform labs on the physics of the human eye and sight, ultrasound, and x-ray imaging. Students will also perform labs on the elution of a short lived radioisotope, the strength of materials as well as obtain classroom instruction in the circulatory system and the physics behind blood flow.

Ripley village. Runde was employed as a boilermaker's helper at Brainerd and was talcing the girl and | her lH-year-old brother to the (lance in a single buggy. It seems that he was very jealous of the girl and a dispute arose. The Brainerd man then drew a revolver, fired one shot, which passed through the.Tordan boy's hand and then knocked him out of the buggy. The next two shots that he fired entered the girl's temple and caused instant death. The horse, taking fright, ran away* leaving the murderer to think over the crime he had committed. He waited for five or ten minutes, then placed the revolver at his own temple and pulled the trigger. Death came instantly, leaving only the girTs brother to tell the horrible story.—Transcript.

Lenore Lake,Sask. April ID, 1911. To the Editor of the Journa). Dear Editor: An it i*> a- bout a week and a half ago since I left Pierz for Lenore Lake. Sask.. 1 will let till mv friends and relatives know- how we are gettingalong here. Veil we came thru very quickly with our cars. We left on Friday morning at y- bout .1 o'clock and came to Humboldt on Monday night at about 11 o'clock. Ilum- bo'dt was our destination point. Homboldt is a great business town. If a stranger comes thru here now lie may think it is already ;m old settled town, altho -the first house there was build about S vears ago. There are buildings there, which cover about two acres of ground. The railroads are over filled with immigrants coining intoCar.a- da, from all over the United States and Europe. Land is being taken up verv fast, but there isroom for millions more. Land around here at Lenore Lake, is sellirg* from $20 to S25 anacre. antl the time won*t be long till it will cost from S40 to S50 an acre The soil here is very good and the country is all level. We are going to have a railroad this summer. The winter here has been cold. Thev say it was the coldest winter they had for the last 20 vears. Thev have plenty t.f mk w yet iu places where it had been drifted up high. The farmers started working in the field today, and tomorrow nearly everybody will be out in the field. The weather is very nice and warm now. Common farm horses are selling from $350 to $375 each. Cows from$30to$45 each.The people here are well satisfied, and so am I. Wheat here averages from 25 to 40 bushels per acre. And oats can be raised all the wav up to 120 bushels per acre. This mav seem impossible to the people of Pierz but it is the truth. I guess they would believe it if they would see the grain. The prices are not as high as in Minnesota. Oats is selling at 25 cents per bushel. Wheat is around 75 cents per bushel. Flax $2.12 per bushel, and potatoes 45 cents per bushel. The wages are very high here. A farm hand can get $35 to $40 a month, the year round. And a good carpenter earns from $4 to $6 per day. I am writing this for the benefit of those, who mav intend to settle here. We are all in good hone for a bouncing crop and I hope that the people of Pierz will get the same. I remain respectfully, John H. Gerwing Do you trade at the place that makes good? New Pierz Store. A. E. Macho acted as undertaken at the funeral of Miss Elizabeth Naborof Buck- man last Mondav. The coffin was taker to the chuch in his hearse. Mr. Macho is verv capable and well equipped to conduct funerals and merits the patronage of all who have these sad duties to perform. John Hoschen of Melrose, one of Stearns county's prominent citizens, came up on the Soo line Wednesday afternoon. He went to Buckman in Schmolke's auto in the evening.

Winter Holiday - AVOID The 12 Santa Barbara County - UPDATE 1
Santa Barbara County - December 17th, 2013
The Winter Holiday Anti-DUI crackdown has resulted in a significant number of DUI arrests from local routine traffic enforcement, sobriety checkpoints and special 'AVOID the 12' DUI deployments over the weekend.
From 12:01 AM Friday, December 13, 2013 through noon Tuesday, December 17, 2013 officers representing 12 county law enforcement agencies have arrested 33 individuals for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In 2012, 45 DUI arrests occurred during the same time period.
**NOTE: These numbers are only provisional with some agencies yet to report**
On Friday, December 20th, the cities of Lompoc, Santa Barbara and Santa Maria will have sobriety checkpoints within their cities.
On Saturday, December 21st, 'AVOID the 12' will conduct a multi-agency DUI / Driver's License checkpoint in the City of Santa Barbara.
Extra local DUI Saturation Patrols will be deployed in the cities of Goleta, Guadalupe, Lompoc, Santa Barbara, and Santa Maria over the weekend.
All regularly scheduled traffic and patrol officers will focus efforts at stopping and arresting DUI drivers during their normal shifts. Multiple DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints, Multi Agency DUI Task Force operations and local Roving DUI patrols are all part of this region-wide crackdown during the 20 day Winter Holiday Campaign.
Police, Sheriff and the CHP encourage all motorists to help make your community safer: Report Drunk Drivers – Call 911! Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
'AVOID the 12' refers to the number of Law Enforcement agencies in Santa Barbara County that you will avoid being in contact with should you chose to drive sober.
DUI arrest data collection will continue through New Year's Weekend, midnight Sunday, January 1, 2014.

If you implement a revised `case' that consistently works better, then I'd be happy to use it as a replacement for the current `case'.

Marc Laberte Atelier 1910 Violin
More Images
Born in 1880, Marc Laberte was the director of the Atelier Labert-Humbert and its extended firms. The workshop itself was founded in 1780 by the great grandfather Laberte and was one of the largest shops in Mirecourt until the mid-twentieth century when it closed. By 1920, nearly 400 craftsmen were employed to make instruments of all levels. In addition, many skilled master makers worked for Laberte, including Camille Poirson, Charles Brugere, and Georges Apparut. The workshop owned a fine collection of instruments from all the famous makers such as Stradivari, Lupot, Stainer, and Vuillaume. They were meticulously examined and used as models for their own instruments.

Well, I wont say much about this computer I'm dealing with, needless to say I can't modify the hard drive contents and I don't have access to the internals.
Booted up a copy of BackTrack 4 Final onto a computer after acquiring BIOS rights. We got the password to the BIOS, changed the boot order to CD and first booted to windows normally. Then we restarted and booted into BT4 to see what we could do. I got called away and when I came back my partner in crime was pale and was looking at the BIOS. The first HDD was no longer in the BIOS boot options, we get an error (more info on that error later) when we don't have a disk in the drive.
Loading up BT4, the hard drive is still visible. It's just not being picked up by BIOS.
Tomorrow we'll be playing around, our ultimate plan is to upload a back door, fix it and give ourselves remote access from our own computers, though if it goes on erroring out like this the HDD and BIOS are sure to be flashed.
So... Any idea what might be doing this? Any BIOS settings or even a linux setting that may have somehow played with the hard drive?

School Shooter Had Targets, Message on Arm
(NEWSER) – Colorado student Karl Pierson walked into his high school intending to kill a lot more people than just thedebate coach who kicked him off the team, chilling new details suggest. Investigators say the 18-year-old entered Arapahoe High School with 125 rounds of ammunition, three incendiary devices, and letters and numbers written on his arm that corresponded to five locations inside the school, USA Today reports. He had also written the Latin phrase "Alea iacta est"—"The die has been cast"—on his forearm.

After 14 years of riding for O'Neill, the details of John John Florence's new deal are official. For the next five years, Florence will be riding for Hurley. Here is the official release:
COSTA MESA, CA. JANUARY 8, 2013 – Hurley announced today that it has signed Hawaiian prodigy John John Florence to a five-year agreement. Florence, 20, will lead an already stellar surf team including Julian Wilson, Carissa Moore and Rob Machado, and will drive Hurley's award-winning Phantom platform. "John is the most innovative and talented surfer to come along in the last 20 years," says Hurley's VP of Sports Marketing Pat O'Connell. "Dream what might be possible in surfing and I'm sure he's going to exceed it in the next five years. We just want to support him in every way as he continues to inspire us in all conditions."
In just one full year on the ASP World Tour, Florence has already captured the hearts and minds of the surfing world. While still a teenager, he finished fourth in the world, achieved a Triple Crown title, three wins at Pipe, an ASP world tour win, a runner-up at the Surfer Poll and invites to two of the world's most prestigious big-wave events. Growing up at Pipeline with his mom and two younger brothers, Florence thrives in surfing's most high-risk situations and is looking forward to his new beginning with Hurley. "I am very grateful and happy to be riding for Hurley, especially at this time of my life," says Florence. "To be able to start 2013 with a new team and good people will ultimately help to accomplish my goals I have set for the future. I am excited to be a part of such an innovative company and can't wait to see what happens in the years to come"
Florence will help inform the next generation of Phantom boardshorts immediately as he prepares for his sophomore debut on the 2013 ASP World Tour in late February. "I've always liked to surround myself around magic," said Hurley CEO and Founder Bob Hurley. "John John has that special talent that only comes around every few decades or so. It's a magic that will transcend well beyond our world and will make us all strive to be better. Needless to say, I'm humbled, honored and so looking forward to supporting John John as he revolutionizes surfing over and over again."

Today, the Supreme Court of Canada denied application for leave to appeal in Lojas Renner S.A. v. Tucows.Com Co. (Ont.) (Civil) (By Leave) (34481) Coram: Deschamps / Fish / Karakatsanis.
The dispute was over the right to the internet domain name "renner.com". The applicant, Lojas Renner S.A., operates a number of retail department stores in Brazil and owns the registered trademark "Renner", while the respondent, Tucows.com, is a Canadian domain name registrar which purchased the domain name "renner.com" in 2006 and is the registrant of that domain name with the internationally-recognized non-profit organization, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"). Lojas Renner S.A.'s motion to set aside service ex juris of Tucows.com statement of claim and to stay the action for want of jurisdiction was granted. The Ontario Court of Appeal unanimously allowed Tucows.com's appeal. The Court of Appeal for Ontario held that Ontario had jurisdiction over the dispute, finding that a domain name is personal property and that presence-based jurisdiction is established if the plaintiff's servers are physically located in Ontario.
Lojas Renner S.A. unsuccessfully sought leave to appeal on the following issues:
- Whether the Court of Appeal erred in stating that the policy of the UDRP is to "refer" legitimate disputes to the Court?
- Whether the Court of Appeal erred in holding that the Superior Court of Ontario's jurisdiction was "unlimited and unrestricted"?
- Whether the Court of Appeal erred in making no assessment of whether the claim before it was justiciable?
- Whether the Court of Appeal erred in determining in the abstract that a domain name was "personal property in Ontario"?
- Whether the Court of Appeal erred in failing to consider whether it accords with principles of order, fairness and comity to read "intangible" into Rule 17.02 – Rules of Civil Procedure, R.S.O. 1990, Reg. 194, Rules 17.02(a), 17.06(1).
I previously wrote a case comment about this important internet jurisdiction case: "The Internet as Property: The Implications of Tucows.Com Co. v. Lojas Renner S.A., and SOPA", The Globetrotter, OBA International Law Section Newsletter, Volume 16, No. 1 – December 2011 [pdf].

Brevard, N.C.- The Newberry College Wolves completed the series sweep of the Brevard College Tornados by taking both games of a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon at Gil Coan Field.
Game 1: Newberry 15, Brevard 2
The Wolves pounded out 15 hits against seven different Brevard pitchers, scoring in all but two innings to win the opener.
Newberry jumped on BC starter Zach Joyce (L, 1-5) for seven runs (six earned) on six hits and a walk in 1.2 innings. The Tornados bullpen was also ineffective for the most part, allowing eight runs (seven earned) in 7.2 innings of work.
The Wolves had a 9-0 lead by the time the Tornados got on the board with Cody Queen's RBI single in the bottom of the 3rd, and BC didn't score again until John Slade's solo homer in the bottom of the 9th.
Newberry starter Brandon Ahrens (W, 4-3) allowed just one run in five innings, although BC had five hits and a walk against the righty.
Game 2: Newberry 11, Brevard 2
Newberry kept the momentum going for the nightcap, posting five runs in the top of the 2nd against Brevard starter JD Chaplain (L, 1-2).
After Newberry added a run in the top of the 5th against BC reliever Ryan Mercer before BC made it a 6-2 game with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the inning.
Champ Stuart and Eric Renegar worked back-to-back walks to start the inning, with Stuart scoring on an RBI groundout by Chris Christopoulos and Renegar on a groundout by Queen.
Newberry only extended their lead from that point, adding three in the 6th and two in the 7th to put the game out of reach for BC.

Debris Removal from Locust Creek
PA ID# 000-UB2M9-00; Missouri Department of Natural Resources
PW ID# 605; Debris Removal from Locust Creek
Citation: FEMA-1934-DR-FL, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Debris Removal from Locust Creek, Project Worksheet (PW) 605
Reference: Other Federal Agency (OFA), Debris Removal
Summary: As a result of tornadoes, severe storms, and flooding between June 12, 2010, and
July 31, 2010, debris logjams formed in Locust Creek. FEMA prepared PW 605 in the amount of $392,592 for the removal of 39,259 cubic yards of vegetative debris from the creek. On November 19, 2010, FEMA denied funding because funding for debris removal from a natural stream is within the authority of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). FEMA directed the Applicant to contact the NRCS for funding under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (EWP). The NRCS affirmed the Applicant's EWP eligibility; however, no funds were available in 2010 for projects due to flooding. The NRCS also stated that EWP funds are only available for projects that would avoid loss of life, and that the logjams did not meet that criterion.
The Applicant submitted a first appeal on January 25, 2011, requesting Public Assistance funding for debris removal due to the lack of EWP funding. The Applicant also consulted with Missouri State Parks Northern Parks District (Parks District) to determine whether the logjams presented a public safety issue. The Parks District advised the Applicant that "the location of the logjams in Locust Creek posed no direct threat to loss of life or property." On September 29, 2011, the Regional Administrator denied the Applicant's appeal pursuant to FEMA Recovery Policy RP9523.5, Debris Removal from Waterways, Section VII.D.1, because the removal of debris by an applicant for which another Federal agency has specific authority is ineligible under the Public Assistance Program.
In its December 1, 2011, second appeal, the Applicant states that it did not apply for EWP funding because it believed constraints imposed by EWP guidelines would cause damage to the wetlands. The Applicant also states that the PW 605 Special Considerations worksheet prepared by FEMA contained multiple errors.
Issues: 1. Does the NRCS have the authority to remove debris from natural streams?
2. Did the Applicant prove that the logjams presented an immediate threat to life, public safety, and to improved property?
3. Did the errors on PW 605 Special Consideration worksheet impact FEMA's first appeal decision?
Findings: 1. Yes. The work the Applicant is requesting falls under the specific authority of NRCS.
2. No.
3. No.
Rationale: Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as Amended, Section 403(a)(3), Essential Assistance and Section 312 Duplication of Benefits; 44 CFR §206.224(a), Debris removal, Public interest; 44 CFR § 206.221(a)(d)), Definitions, Improved property; FEMA Recovery Policy RP9524.3, Debris Removal from Waterways

The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists (2005)[edit]
- A man has two primary drives in early adulthood: one toward power, success, and accomplishment; the other toward love, companionship, and sex. Half of life then was out of order. To go before them was to stand up as a man and admit that I was only half a man.
- In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by waiting, they miss out. Usually, what you wish for doesn't fall in your lap; it falls somewhere nearby, and you have to recognize it, stand up, and put in the time and work it takes to get to it. This isn't because the universe is cruel. It's because the universe is smart. It has its own cat-string theory and knows we don't appreciate things that fall into our laps.
- In order to excel at anything, there are always hurdles, obstacles, or challenges one must get past. It's what bodybuilders call the pain period. Those who push themselves, and are willing to face pain, exhaustion, humiliation, rejection, or worse, are the ones who become champions. The rest are left on the sidelines.
- To get a woman, you have to be willing to risk losing her.
- Men are not dogs. We merely think we are and, on occasion, act as if we are. But, by believing in our nobler nature, women have the amazing power to inspire us to live up to it.
- We have this idea that love is supposed to last forever. But love isn't like that. It's a free-flowing energy that comes and goes when it pleases. Sometimes it stays for life; other times it stays for a second, a day, a month, or a year. So don't fear love when it comes simply because it makes you vulnerable. But don't be surprised when it leaves, either. Just be glad you had the opportunity to experience it.
- The great thing about the heart is that it has no master, despite what reason may think.
Rules of the Game: The Style Diaries (2007)[edit]
- Every adventure to be had in this room is on the dark side. The people on the light side are asleep right now. And they are dreaming about the dark side. Because the more you try to repress the dark side, the stronger it gets, until it finds its own way to the surface. I sleep well. I dream of angels and sponge cake and panda bears. I don't see the dark side until I open my eyes.
- If you possess the ability to learn from your mistakes, then failure is literally impossible, because each rejection brings you closer to perfection.
- The ignorant are not blissful; they are the butt of a joke they're not even aware of.
- Most guys who define themselves as "too nice" only behave nicely because they want everybody to like them and don't want anyone to think badly of them. Don't mistake being fearful and weak-minded for being nice.
- Love is a velvet prison.
- What most of us present to the world isn't necessarily our true self: It's a combination of years of bad habits and fear-based behavior. Our real self lies buried underneath all the insecurities and inhibitions. So rather than just being yourself, focus on discovering and permanently bringing to the surface your best self.
- The natural instincts of men seem to be to alternate between periods of love relationships and periods of hedonistic bachelorhood, with some traumatized kids thrown in as an evolutionary imperative.
- A lot of people make the mistake of trying to defend principles in relationships. My goal is long-term happiness. And I make choices that aren't going to undermine that goal.
Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life (2009)[edit]
- Nature knows no tragedies or catastrophes. It knows no good or evil. It knows only creation and destruction. and one can never truly be happy and free, in the way we were as children before learning of our mortality, without at some point confronting our destruction. And all we can ask for, all we can hope for, all we can beseech God for, is to win a few battles in a war we will ultimately lose.
- We make fun of those we're most scared of becoming.

Midvale • Woods Cross sophomore Kyra Fawcett was the hero for the Wildcats so many times during the regular season.
She lived up to that reputation once more Tuesday when she drilled the game-winning goal one minute into overtime to lift Woods Cross to a 2-1 victory over Hillcrest in the first round of the Class 4A girls soccer playoffs.
Fawcett had three or four looks at the goal in regulation, but each shot she took narrowly missed. She had a one-on-one opportunity in second-half stoppage time to find the back of the net, but she collided with the Hillcrest goalkeeper just before making solid contact with the ball. Fawcett was shaken up on the play, but she quickly bounced back.
"When you miss a few, you just have to clear that out of your head and be ready for the next one," Fawcett said. "Once that last one hit the net, all I could feel was relief."
The Wildcats had several opportunities to score that went by the wayside. Those missed chances allowed Hillcrest to take a 1-0 lead on a Hannah Sutherland goal early in the second half. Fawcett's attitude of forgetting the missed opportunities was adopted by the whole team, and Woods Cross recovered.
"We didn't change anything that we were doing," Woods Cross coach David Newman said. "The girls were playing well and we knew that as long as we kept shooting, they would start going in."
Woods Cross tied the game when Ashlyn Farnes deflected in a corner kick with about 25 minutes remaining in the second half. The Wildcats defense shut down the Huskies from there to set the stage for Fawcett's overtime heroics.
The Wildcats will take on fourth-seeded Box Elder on Thursday with the winner moving on to the state semifinals.
Box Elder 4, Maple Mountain 3 (2OT)
Box Elder pulled off the biggest upset of the first round by stunning Maple Mountain in double overtime. The longshot Bees were led by star Lana Willard, who scored three goals in the game, including the game-winner.
Bonneville 4, Orem 1
The Lakers got goals from four different players to cruise past Orem. Bonneville now has won six straight opening-round playoff game, and it only has dropped five games in the last three years.
Clearfield 1, Olypmus 0
Clearfield played one of its best defensive games of the year to sneak by Olympus in the opening round. Goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stratton was masterful in her shutout performance.
Timpview 2, Sky View 1
A second-half goal by Kanui Munoz was the difference in an otherwise even game. The Thunderbirds now face a tough second-round game against Bountiful.
Bountiful 5, Herriman 0
The Braves wasted no time putting away Herriman. Bountiful's Jenny Skedros led the charge with two of the team's five goals.
Skyline 3, East 1
Skyline netted two goals early and rode that advantage to victory. East made things interesting by scoring a goal in the final five minutes of the game, but the Eagles held on.
Timpanogos 3, Mountain Crest 0
The Timberwolves took care of business at home by shutting out Mountain Crest. Timpanogos held a 2-0 lead for much of the second half, but Breanna Brown put the icing on the cake with a goal in the waning minutes.

In the spring of 2008, just as the drip-drip of revelations about MPs' expenses was starting to gather momentum, I was despatched to write a magazine feature article for the Weekend FT about Britain's politicians: were they paid too much for the job they did?
Seeking to write a balanced piece, I made sure that I interviewed at least one MP who exemplified public service; someone who had stepped down from a highly-paid City job to take a relatively low salary at the Liberal Democrats – the party which would never (as it then seemed) take power. His name was David Laws.
I spent a Friday in Laws' constituency of Yeovil, watching him deal with constituents' complaints in a diligent and attentive manner. Afterwards we had a pint in a local pub; I told him I could never understand why anyone would want to be an MP, with people trawling through your private life. His answer was non-committal. He struck me – much as he has since – as polite, slightly prim, self-contained and highly intelligent.
When the Telegraph revelations were published a year ago I was quietly relieved that Laws was unscathed.
Fast-foward two years and Laws is the first casualty of the Lib-Con coalition, as ft.com reports tonight. His position as chief secretary to the Treasury had become untenable after he said he would repay £40,000 of expenses claimed for rent paid to his boyfriend; since 2006 MPs were not allowed to lease accommodation from their partners.

REDLANDS -- Don't ever offer Josiah Bruny a handout. He has never asked for one and will never accept one.
It's a trait he has preached to the youngsters that have worked their way through his Music Changing Lives Program.
Bruny, born and raised in Pasadena and now guiding MCL out of its headquarters at the Redlands Community Center, wants nothing more than to teach young people to be independent and to reach for their goals.
"When a kid comes in, what we do is try to analyze where they see themselves five months from now," said Bruny, 34. "Short-term goals. I want to find out what a kid truly wants and to find out what that kid's passion is. Then we work to help them make that dream come true."
Music Changing Lives is a nonprofit organization that offers music and art enrichment programs to youngsters with the ultimate goal of putting them in line for a productive life. MCL's music instruction curriculum offers industry standard technology where students learn to compose, record and produce their own music. The same is done through its art and design courses.
MCL recently renovated a storage room at the community center into a state-of-the-art recording studio and a classroom into an updated art lab.
"Initially it was just going to be a studio and I wanted to help kids with music," Bruny said. "That is my forte, teaching kids how to get into the music business, package their work and make money independently. But it's been so much more. I never imagined serving so many communities."
Since MCL's official start in 2000, Bruny has come to at least one conclusion: Kids really aren't afraid of anything.
"As long as they have someone in their life that will put them in the right frame of mind and someone who tells them that they can make a difference, they will be fine."
For Bruny, that one person turned out to be an older brother. That brother, a rapper known as Won-G, started his career as a an independent artist. He created his own music, promoted his own music and sold and distributed his own music. The result was album sales of $2 million.
A key to Won-G's success was the use of "street teams," groups of young people that hit the streets in promotional vehicles in which they promoted and sold his music. It became a skill that Bruny, still in his teens at the time, quickly mastered.
"Fliers, promotions, it gave me my outlet," Bruny said. "He gave me the business mindset that I could be my own boss. He owned everything he wrote. He was an independent artist."
Bruny said he stopped at just about every big department store in the country, settled in front of those stores and sold and promoted the music to shoppers.
"We went wherever they let us sell our product," Bruny said. "After school we were out there hustling and promoting our name. Every day we worked. I am thankful because all that hard work made me the man I am today. It was not easy but it was a lot of great work. It taught me that nothing comes easy and nothing in life is free."
It took only about two years before Bruny and his street team became so good that other rap artists and studios reached out to him.
"I was 20 and making between 5 to 10 thousand dollars a week with the street team," Bruny said. "It was a great time. The market was booming."
Big labels like Priority Records, Warner Bros. and Capital sought out his services.
"These guys -- and I'm not lying -- came looking for me," Bruny said. "I was the best at what I did. As far as street teams, there was no one that could compete with me."
At the height, Bruny had 20 vehicles with about five people on each team. Bruny was in Florida, walking the red carpet at the Latin Music Awards, when the revelation of Music Changing Lives became a reality.
"That was when it hit," Bruny said. "I'm here and I have done all I wanted to do. Now it's time to go into the next phase for me. I'm gonna give back and get to helping these kids."
Bruny returned to California and sought out a home for MCL, settling in Redlands.
And through it all it has been the advice of one of the artists he worked with that has continued to guide him.
"Tupac (Shakur) had this saying: 'There will never be peace in the streets until everyone gets a piece,' " Bruny said. "That is why his camp was so great. He was never stingy. He always shared and gave a little to everyone -- only if you worked for it. That model has always stuck with me."

WATCH: Worms found in candy bars
When Clarence Jackson, of Southeast Portland, opened a Rocky Road candy bar and took a bite he thought it tasted strange. When he looked in the package he found worms in the chocolate.
KATU News reports they appeared to be Wax Worms.
Plaid Pantry pulled Rocky Road bars with the same lot number from store shelves.
The company that makes the candy issued to KATU News the following statement:
"As a third generation, family-owned company, Annabelle Candy Company's mission is to ensure consumer satisfaction, enjoyment and well being. We take the quality of our candy products very seriously.
Earlier today Annabelle Candy Company learned that a customer had purchased a candy bar that included bugs inside the package from a store in the Portland, Oregon, area. From our immediate inquiries and investigation, it appears to be an isolated incident. Our representatives immediately went to the store and removed the product from store shelves, as well as making sure that the product was removed from sales circulation.
In addition, we have been in contact with the consumer to personally express our sincere regret on behalf of our company.
We take all consumer complaints seriously, and we do everything in our power to assure the safety and quality of our products while in our hands and en route to our retail customers.
In addition to retrieving all our other candy at the store where purchased, we tested other product manufactured at the same time that we keep at our facility and found no problems with any of those products. Also, an inspection of our pest-control records shows no pest activity in any pheromone traps inside the plant for some years preceding the manufacturing date of this particular bar.
Annabelle's wants to reassure the public about its sanitation standards. Everything possible is done to maintain the highest standards that exceed those required by law. All products are tested daily to ensure their safety and wholesomeness. Our distributors are informed in writing of the shelf lives for all Annabelle's products. They, in turn, inform the retailers.
Annabelle Candy Company produces nearly 15 million Rocky Road candy bars per year. While we are highly vigilant in avoiding problems, it is widely recognized in the food industry that rare incidents do occur from time to time. We emphasize that this in no way represented a life-threatening situation.
Food safety is a top priority and Annabelle Candy Company has implemented stringent inspections and policies to assure the quality and safety of our candy products. We have an excellent food safety record and take all steps to ensure that our products meet the highest standards. We conduct voluntary independent audits of all our procedures and safety practices and comply with all governmental food and safety requirements.
Our main concern is for Annabelle Candy consumers and our retailer customers. We will continue to do everything in our power to make certain that their trust in Annabelle's is well placed."

if you guys would spend as much time crying on line like old women , and out rideing the waves, life would be better.
The reason i Posted the size that day is because when " The Wave " that rolled by us was huge we sat out there for a good 5 min and talked about how big the waves was, thats what we came up with , I have been in the ocean in sc a many time by my self , in a storm or a cane when the waves are def head high , it doesnt happen often but it does. so saying all we get is knee high is crap....

KENT, WA -- Oberto Brands, which makes pepperoni, jerky and other meat snacks, has removed the "Oh Boy!" moniker from its logo.
The new logo, said to be the brand's biggest overhaul in its 95-year history, simply reads "Oberto" in black text, accented by the longstanding brand colors red and green. Prominently featured on new white matte packaging is the mantra: "Eat Excellent. Be Excellent."
The new logo and packaging, rolling out this month, apply only to Oberto's all-natural jerky line. It is available in 2.5-oz. and 3.25-oz. bags and includes eight flavors, the newest being bacon jerky.
Oberto Classics -- Cocktail Pep and Smok-a-Roni Sticks and Oberto Meat Sticks -- continue to use the existing "Oh Boy! Oberto" name, logo and glossy red packaging.
Since switching its core jerky line in 2012 to an all-natural recipe, Oberto's sales are reportedly up nearly 50%.
"For a long time, mass market jerky was largely seen as an unsophisticated junk food, but not anymore," said Greg Yahn, vice-president of marketing for Oberto Brands. "We've elevated jerky and made it new and relevant for active consumers who want to get the most out of what they eat and are specifically looking for snacks to charge them up for their day."
The company is in the process of adding a manufacturing facility in Nashville, TN, to keep up with demand. It will join Oberto's existing Seattle-area facility.
