Sotheby's London to present exhibition of British art curated by legendary 1960s gallerist Kasmin

London announced that it will stage the exhibition The New Situation Art in London in the Sixties in its New Bond Street galleries from 4th-14th September 2013. Curated by legendary gallerist Kasmin the man who gave David Hockney, among others, his first break fifty years ago the exhibition will aim to recapture the energy and innovative spirit of the London art scene in the Sixties. The New Situation will feature a selection of works to be offered for sale, and a number loaned from distinguished collections - many of which will be on public view for the first time.
The New Situation Art in London in the Sixties is inspired by a series of photographs of the 'London scene' taken by Lord Snowdon at the end of the 50s and early 60s. Many of these were published in Private View, the remarkable photo essay co-written by critic John Russell and by Bryan Roberston (the maverick director of the Whitechapel Art Gallery) and published in 1965, which encapsulated the British art world at a moment in time when British painters and sculptors, along with British photographers, film stars, musicians and fashion designers had captured the globes imagination.
Alongside artists who are now recognisable the world over - David Hockney, Bridget Riley, Lucian Freud - there were many bright young talents who are now less well known, but in the sixties were equally admired and shared gallery and museum show billings celebrating this first generation of Young British Artists. The New Situation will once again place these artists side by side, introducing contemporary viewers to the likes of Richard Smith, Robyn Denny, Peter Philips, Derek Boshier and John Latham.
It was fifty years ago that Kasmins gallery - the first 'white cube' style gallery in London - opened just across the road from Sotheby's, in which he showed young artists from the capital alongside major figures from America and the Continent. In many ways Kasmin - along with Robert Fraser (perhaps now best known for getting arrested along with the Stones and Marianne Faithfull) - was the Sixties art scene in London. Sothebys is honoured that he will be curating The New Situation.
The exhibition will run from the 4th to 14th September 2013 at Sothebys New Bond Street galleries and will be accompanied by a full-colour catalogue including essays, artists' commentaries from the period and Snowdon's rarely seen high-colour, high-glamour photographs.

- Bolder Boulder draws tens of thousands: 'Everyone said it's the best run'
Boulder's Jeremy Freed always imagined he'd have another shot to win the Bolder Boulder citizens race after his 2011 victory. This morning, he made his move just before the five-mile mark to win the Memorial Day 10-kilometer race in 30 minutes, 57.6 seconds for the second time.
Freed, who said he's been hampered by injuries since his first win, has been training only since April and expected to finish "near the middle of the pack." Even today, his right knee was tight before the race, he said.
"Honestly, for me today, I haven't done really much training, so it was a tough race for sure, but I'm really, really happy to be here," said the 25-year-old Freed, still crouched on the ground catching his breath.
"When I won in 2011, you kind of almost assume that you'll be in this position again, but there's so many injures, so many just tough things that happen with distance running in general, so it was a huge blessing to be back here."
Freed, who runs for the Newton Elite team, is a Colorado native. He grew up in Evergreen and went on to run for Colorado State University.
Three-time Olympic marathoner and Boulder Track Club executive director Lee Troop led for most of the race, until Freed picked up his mile pace to 4:52 just before the five-mile mark. Brandon Birdsong, 25, followed suit, but couldn't keep pace, running the last mile in 5:11 to finish second in 31:15.27.
At that point, the 40-year-old Troop said he didn't have the energy for a last-minute push. He finished third in 31:26.22.
"Jeremy flicked the switch at 8K and that was it for me," Troop said. "I was done. I was just trying to hang on."
Birdsong, who lives outside of Colorado Springs in Manitou Springs, said he planned to run the Bolder Boulder as a workout, but then got caught up in the race. This was his first-ever Bolder Boulder.
"I planned on just tempoing the first four miles and then hammering out the last two," said Birdsong, who runs for the Boulder Running Company/adidas team. "Once I got up there, I realized that I probably wasn't doing a workout anymore."
Troop, who ran the Boston Marathon in April, said he's been struggling emotionally to run again after the bombings. His hotel, which was near the finish line, was locked down, and Troop didn't sleep at all that night. The "little voice" in the back of his head took over, he said, and he couldn't stop thinking about his three children. For the week after the race, Troop said he was glued to his television watching the news.
Even now, he's not sleeping well, he said. A few days ago, he decided to pull out of the race entirely, but changed his mind.
For Troop, this race was supposed to be his mental comeback -- the race that flicked his running switch back on, he said.
"I got into the race and, I don't know, I just felt aggressive for some reason and I thought, 'All right, I'm just going to go hard,'" Troop said, pausing to congratulate or chat with runners he's coached as they crossed the finish line.
"As soon as the gun went, something just clicked. I had no intentions to run that aggressive at all. Each turn, each corner, each hill -- I just kept getting aggressive. Every time someone got beside me I just pushed the pace again.
"I wasn't going to give up the lead until I was completely spent."

Ener-G Papas Loaf is a top selling gluten-free bread made with white rice flour and potato starch. The Papas Loaf makes a great white bread alternative. Perfect warmed up or toasted, and makes great sandwiches. It is kept fresh through a highly developed vacuum packaging process and guaranteed fresh by the Sell By/Best Before Dates. It can be softened by microwaving them for approximately 15 to 20 seconds, one slice at a time.
Ener-G Papas Loaf is 100% vegan, vegetarian as well as being meticulously free of gluten, wheat, casein, dairy, egg, soy, nut, low-to-no sodium.
Who says Restrictive Diets are Boring!
When Sam M. Wylde purchased Ener-G Foods, Inc. in 1962, they were little more than a two-person operation in which all packing was done by hand. Shortly after acquiring Ener-G Foods, Sam was approached by Dr. Scribner of the University of Washington. Dr. Scribner, known worldwide as the father of dialysis, is credited with inventing what is commonly called the kidney machine.
Meeting with Dr. Scribner and his dietitian, Sondra Aker, it was explained that there was an acute shortage of dialysis machines and they desperately needed a low protein bread. The University of Washington had one dialysis machine for thousands of kidney patients. Since the kidneys convert protein to uric acid, if the protein intake were restricted, the kidneys would not have to work so hard, hence would require less frequent dialysis.
Sam M. Wylde and Ener-G Foods worked on low protein bread for about a year before arriving at an acceptable result. Made with a base of wheat starch it was low in protein, sodium, potassium and phosphorus, therefore acceptable for a low protein diet. It was also discovered that by restricting protein intake, progression of renal failure could be slowed even for patients on the dialysis unit. Low-Protein foods developed by Ener-G Foods also address several other dietary disorders.
Sometime later, Dr. Cyrus Rubin, inventor of the Rubin Biopsy Tube and professor of Gastroenterology at the University of Washington sent his dietitian, Elaine Hartsook (later to become Elaine Hartsook, Ph.D) to Ener-G with a request for a gluten-free bread with one restriction, 'I don't want any wheat starch'. Also at about the same time Sam M. Wylde developed prostate cancer and Sam Wylde III, his son, having completed his MBA in Oregon moved back to Seattle to assist his father. Sam Wylde III began working nights on developing gluten-free Breads and other products without the use of wheat starch.
What is gluten?
Gluten is one of the miracles of nature. It has the property of becoming elastic when kneaded or mixed. It is this elasticity that traps the gas given off when yeast ferments or baking powders react that makes breads and cakes rise. In the USA, historically a gluten-free diet means a diet free of wheat, rye and barley. However, no specific USA legislation defining Gluten-Free exists. In Canada a gluten-free diet is defined by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency as a diet free of wheat, rye, oats and barley. Foods sold in Canada are not allowed any detectable gluten. In Europe a gluten-free diet generally means a diet which complies with the United Nations Codex Alimentarius Standard for Gluten-Free Foods. The Codex Alimentarius Standard allows wheat starch in Gluten-Free Foods, provided the gluten in such foods does not exceed CODEX guidelines. Such guidelines are periodically adjusted to comply with new scientific findings. Legislation passed in The USA in 2004 requires the US Food and Drug Administration to define gluten-free and to make regulations enforcing the new gluten-free standard.
In every cereal chemist's laboratory, there is a device fitted to a small mixer that measures the resistance of the dough to the mixer. As the dough containing gluten is mixed, this resistance increases until it reaches its' maximum resistance. This 'maximum' is determined by various factors including quality of the gluten and speed of the mixer.
Why eliminate gluten from the diet?
An amazing discovery was made in Holland during World War II. People who had been ill their entire lives suddenly became well. This intrigued Dr. Willem Dicke, a Dutch pediatrician, who began researching the chain of events. The studies determined that the one drastic change in their diet was the elimination of wheat, rye, oats and barley, all of which had been seized for use by the German armies. The Dutch population was living on bread made with flour ground from tulip bulbs. Further research indicated that the gluten in these grains slowly destroyed the villi, which line the walls of the small intestine. Once the villi were sufficiently damaged, the patient suffered from malabsorption, unable to obtain any nutrients from the foods that were ingested. It was found that by eliminating gluten from the diet, the villi would regenerate themselves and the patient would begin digesting their foods properly. The disease is called celiac sprue or non-tropical sprue. Once thought to be a hereditary disease afflicting persons of Northern European and Judaic descent, celiac disease is now known to affect many other ethnic groups including Mediterranean, African and Middle Eastern peoples. Once estimated to affects one in 2000 in the United States, it is now thought to be much more common. Once celiac sprue disease is confirmed, the only treatment is maintenance of a gluten-free diet for life.
The common response is, 'I just won't eat bread.' Easy enough, however, gluten is found in most of the products consumed everyday. Essentially, everything with wheat, rye, barley, and all their derivatives must be eliminated. So breads, pastas, cakes, pastries, cereal, cookies, donuts, pizza, etc, etc...Difficult at first, adaption is possible but, you must also consider this: many commercially prepared foods available on the grocery shelves contain obvious glutens (wheat, barley, rye, etc.) and then there are foods with 'hidden' glutens like HVP. What is HVP? Short for hydrolyzed vegetable protein, its source can be cornstarch, or more commonly wheat starch. Now all of a sudden, it seems everything is taboo for your new diet. Panic sets in; it seems there is nothing you left to eat except fruits and vegetables. The initial shock of this new dietary lifestyle can get overwhelming, but with time, patience, acceptance, and knowledge it becomes much easier.
A common complaint that heard over the years from the many physicians is, 'My patients won't stay on the gluten-free diet, they can't find anything they like to eat'.
By 1978, Ener-G Foods had successfully developed and marketed one gluten-free bread and one low protein bread that were acceptable substitutes for the 'real thing'. We also mixed and packaged a number of baking mixes for a variety of diets. Since this gluten-free bread eliminated wheat, rye, oats and barley, persons afflicted with allergies to any of those grains could utilize these breads in their diets. Unwittingly, they had joined the allergy foods market, which would generate considerable interest throughout the eighties, nineties and now into the 21st century.
The 1980's saw burgeoning American interest in health, diet and exercise. The public and the medical community determined that diet played a significant role in a person's health and well being and that some ailments were in fact allergies to foods. With that in mind, Ener-G set about developing various products suitable for allergy-restricted diets. Today they have a wide array of products designed to meet the needs of those individuals who must eliminate certain foods from their diets. Included in those products are several milk substitutes for those allergic to milk protein or milk lactose, many products suitable for the elimination of wheat from the diet and their best seller, an egg substitute suitable for cooking and baking which contains no part of the egg in its composition.
Ener- G produces over 150 products made in a facility that is dedicated gluten-free, wheat-free, casein-free, dairy-free, treenut-free, and peanut-free products. Of these items, many are also egg-free, soy-free, low in protein and low in sodium. Ener-G is also kosher certified. Since beginning in the 1960s, they've devoted much time and commitment to customers. What they do is unique, revolutionary, and always evolving.

LOL! What's that supposed to mean?!?! Anyway, been a while. Can't say it's been the same since TK stepped down. But I guess he had to get away from the madness. AO is too dramatic now and the number of informative posts is hard to find nowadays. Oh well...that's how things go after time passes. But if there's one thing that hasn't changed...it's how useless this thread is...LOL! Good to see the usual group of nobodies posting. ;)
So what has everyone been up to? When was the last time you guys went out to play some pb? I know it's been since last Oct or something like that...maybe Sept? Been a long time too.

"I never thought I'd have children, I never thought I'd be in love, I never thought I'd meet the right person," Jolie says, in the June issue of Elle. "Having come from a broken home -- you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don't look for them."
Somewhere, Billy Bob Thornton is like, "Uh ... what?"
The 38-year-old "Maleficent" actress talked about her life with fiance Brad Pitt and their six children.
"You get together and you're two individuals and you feel inspired by each other, you challenge each other, you complement each other, drive each other beautifully crazy," she says of Pitt, 50.
I thought that's what Pitt has George Clooney for.
"After all these years, we have history -- and when you have history with somebody, you're friends in such a very real, deep way that there's such a comfort, and an ease, and a deep love that comes from having been through quite a lot together," she said.
The couple, who have six children (Maddox, 12; Pax, 10; Zahara, 9; Shiloh, 7; and 5-year-old twins Knox and Viv) has been engaged since 2012. They've been together since starring in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" in 2005.

Strong Winds Cancel Second Round in Vegas
Las Vegas - Wind gusts in excess of 45 mph throughout Tuesday forced the cancellation of the second round of competition for the Nebraska women's golf team at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown.
Steady winds of 30 mph with gusts reaching 45-50 mph kept the 17 teams in the tournament field off the Stallion Mountain Golf Course in Las Vegas.
The tournament will be shortened to 36 holes with the final round set to tee off with a shotgun start on Tuesday at 10 a.m. (CT)/8 a.m. (PT). Live scoring will be available at www.GolfStat.com.
The Huskers enter the final round in sixth place after firing a 295 in Sunday's opening round. Sophomore Cassie Deeg heads into Nebraska's final 18 holes of the fall campaign in the hunt for her second tournament title of the season. Deeg sits in a tie for second after shooting a one-under-par 71 in the opening round. She began the fall by winning her first collegiate title at Nebraska's Chip-N Club Invitational at Wilderness Ridge.

text: �By Gary firstname.lastname@example.com � It's often role players that make the difference in the outcome of many games.That was the case on Thursday night, as Tekonsha took a 41-36 win over North Adams-Jerome in SCAA girls' basketball.Tekonsha junior Devanie Eckardt chipped in a big nine points, two rebounds and two steals � a line that proved to be the difference in the game for the Indians."It was a total team effort tonight," said Tekonsha coach Tony Warren. "It was nice to see one of our juniors step up."Eckardt went 3 of 4 in the final minute for the Lady Indians to help secure the victory. Tekonsha seemed to be in control at the end of the third quarter as they held on to a 32-18 lead after holding NA-J to a single point in the quarter.But the Rams came back in the fourth, going on a 9-0 run in the first 3:55 before Tekonsha scored on a Mackenzie Norman layup to make it a 34-27 game. North Adams continued to fight, with Casey Farmer hitting two buckets and Kayla Blevins scoring during a 6-2 run that cut it to a 36-33 game with just under two minutes left; but Tekonsha outscored the Rams 5-2 in the final minutes to seal the victory."We made shots tonight, and that made a difference," said Warren. "The girls really put forth a good effort."Senior Mackenzie Norman led all scorers with 21 points, four rebounds, three steals and two assists; Katie Jenkins had eight points, four rebounds, three steals and two assists; Mya Kavanaugh added two points and Morgan Renfro had a point and five rebounds.North Adams was led by Kayla Blevins, who had 13 points. Casey Farmer added 10.Tekonsha (7-13, 5-10) faces off against Marshall Academy on Monday night in the Class D District 108 at Jackson Christian at 6 p.m.�

I will be murmuring, "how is he still available?" in my sleep tonight. There's a variety of reasons the prospects listed below missed out on the first two days of the draft. Some possibly due to medicals (Jesse Williams' rumored knee, Quanterus Smith), others a poor pre-draft process (Jordan Poyer), and finally, a few specialize in a certain role (Washington, Rambo).
I've narrowed the evaluation of each of these prospects down to what truly matters: where they can help the team that drafts them. Next to each name is where they ranked on my pre-draft top 151. A list of my top remaining QBs can be found on the second page.
1. DT Jesse Williams, Alabama (23)
Where he wins: Experience at nose tackle and as a five technique end. Strong upper body to absorb and hold an anchor. Shows power in hands to shed or extend and press the pocket from the interior at times.
2. WR Quinton Patton, Louisiana Tech (30)
Where he wins: Extremely fluid and smooth in his routes. Sets up opposing cornerback with head fakes and cuts. Reliable hands and adjusts body positioning after tracking to come down with difficult catches. Burns opposition vertically when speed isn't respected.
3. S Bacarri Rambo, Georgia (47)
Where he wins: Center field type safety who tracks the ball well with angles to disrupt the catch point. Shows enough tackling ability to be a reliable last line of defense. Great ball skills and shows a physical side closing downhill versus receivers.
4. DE Alex Okafor, Texas (48)
Where he wins: Uncommon kind of pass rusher in that he does his best work with hand use, extension, and shedding ability. Lines up in two and three point stances. Not afraid to plant off of his outside foot and work inside, or keep his opposition on skates. Reaches to make a play on the QB in the pocket.
5. CB Jordan Poyer, Oregon State (50)
Where he wins: Adept in off man, press man, and zone coverages. Physical player on the edge, attacks WR blocks and fights off to make a play. Has a good feel for timing with decisive footwork. Has experience in the slot.
6. DE Cornelius Washington, Georgia (51)
Where he wins: In wide 7 or 9 technique. Excellent get off with low pad level, gains leverage with strong first contact. Leg drive to keep opposition on skates. Has more athleticism than was shown at 5 technique in 2012.
7. S Shamarko Thomas, Syracuse (52)
Where he wins: A very aggressive, confident hitter in the open field and when closing on the edge. See him blowing up the middle on inside runs as well. Sniffs out misdirection. Strong safety that lays the hammer on short to intermediate patterns.
8. RB Andre Ellington, Clemson (54)
Where he wins: Lean runner who sticks close to his blocks with great acceleration after cutting off their backsides. Despite his narrow base he has some nice balance and isn't afraid of contact as a runner or in pass protection. Decisive cutter, likely in a zone scheme.
9. RB Johnathan Franklin, UCLA (55)
Where he wins: One cut, decisive runner with great vision to find backside lanes. Doesn't shy from contact as a pass protector and can make a big play happen if given a seam due to excellent straight-line speed. Upfield cuts make defenders miss at the second level.
10. DE Quanterus Smith, Western Kentucky (60)
Where he wins: Eats up a lot of ground getting upfield off the snap, shows a nice dip to turn the corner against right tackles and free his path towards QBs. Not a one trick pony, shows willingness to plant outside and work in.
11. WR Da'Rick Rogers, Tenn Tech (62)
Where he wins: Gets physical in his routes by creating separation, slightly pushes off. Tracks vertical passes well and a determined runner after the catch. Makes grabs in traffic with corners attempting to undercut pattern.
12. LB DeVonte Holloman, South Carolina (65)
Where he wins: Prototypical strong side linebacker. Gets up field against the run but remains under control. Extends arms to create separation in order to shed on ball carrier. Plays low and former safety skills show when asked to play in short to intermediate game.
13. CB Adrian Bushell, Louisville (68)
Where he wins: Lots of press man and mirrors early in routes with good burst to cut in front of receivers. Tight angles off the edge when sent on a blitz, cleans up on hits when downhill. Frequently used as a gunner on the punt team.
14. CB Sanders Commings, Georgia (69)
Where he wins: A true press corner, sticks in the hip pocket and slows his opposition downfield. Sheds to put himself in position to make a play in the running game and doesn't mind tackling.
15. T Reid Fragel, Ohio State (78)
Where he wins: Played right tackle despite a left tackle frame and was not overpowered. Shows nice posture and length to extend, with necessary footwork to make an impact at the second level. Hand placement always seems to be inside to control.
16. WR Ryan Swope, Texas A&M (83)
Where he wins: Primarily a slot receiver in college with quick feet to create separation in breaks. Thrives on the broken play due to vertical speed that wasn't regularly used. Improved hands from 2011 to 2012.
17. S Earl Wolff, NC State (85)
Where he wins: Physical tackler coming from the free safety position, reads and reacts quickly. Makes plays from the opposite hash, takes solid angles and times contact well. Can play single high, two deep, or run with receivers down the seam.
18. CB B.W. Webb, William & Mary (86)
Where he wins: Plenty of off man coverage in college with nice back pedal, strafe, and hip turn to stick with receivers. Attacks the catch point to disrupt. Does well to keep everything in front of him.
19. RB Dennis Johnson, Arkansas (87)
Where he wins: Will shine on passing downs. Short choppy steps allow for quick cuts to change defenders' angles. Comfortable as a receiver in the flats or on angle routes. Low center of gravity helps with broken tackles.
20. S Josh Evans, Florida (88)
Where he wins: Does not mind getting physical despite frequently lining up as Matt Elam's free safety. Knifes through trash to make tackles rather than waiting as the last line of defense. Does not shy from attacking the catch point or immediately after. Comfortable trailing tight ends from the slot.
21. OLB Khaseem Greene, Rutgers (90)
Where he wins: Obviously comfortable in space, runs the seam with tight ends or receivers and shows closing speed in every aspect of his game. Shows more aggression when working downhill whether ball carrier is lined up or on the edge. Weakside linebacker.
22. DE Malliciah Goodman, Clemson
Where he wins: Freakish length and can generate consistent separation when it is used. Shows a variety of techniques when rushing from the 5 spot, including push and pull or slap with dip to turn the corner. Strong side defensive end.
23. LB Chase Thomas, Stanford
Where he wins: A very technical pass rusher in terms of hand use, extension, and shedding ability. Not going to wow with athleticism but understands leverage and lines to keep his opponent off balance. See him as a pass rushing linebacker.
24. RB Zac Stacy, Vanderbilt
Where he wins: Rarely goes down on first contact. Powerful runner with solid base to work through tackles. One cut runner with some burst. Unafraid to work between the tackles. Covers ground with jump cuts.
25. S Phillip Thomas, Fresno State
Where he wins: Has excellent ball skills as a center fielder with enough skill to take downfield receivers in man coverage. Good angles with some aggression in the running game, even if he doesn't finish the tackle.
List Of Top 5 Quarterbacks Remaining
1. Tyler Wilson, Arkansas
Height/Weight: 6'2/215
College Experience: Fifth-year senior
40 Time: 4.93
Comparison: Brett Favre, in terms of playing style
2012 Stats: 249-of-401 (62.1%) for 3,387 yds (8.44 YPA), 21 TD/13 INT
Pick projection: Third-round to Texans
Positives/Negatives: First and foremost, a very tough player who bounces up after hits. Consistently steps up into the pocket to deliver the ball under duress. Does not mind taking a beating when sensing a receiver will slip open. Underrated ability to buy himself time, can get first downs on the run when defenses are in man or in deep zones. Unafraid to test the field vertically. Arm strength is impressive in the intermediate game. Not overly concerned about the ball fluttering at the end of his targets, believe it is a footwork issue. Leads receivers on crossing routes and takes chances in the middle of the field rather than taking the conservative approach. Looks at multiple targets before checking down. Changes throwing plane in the face of pressure. However, delivery can be a bit elongated as he drops the football. Vertical shots can be floated, receivers tend to work back into a jump ball situation but the placement likely isn't on purpose. Holds ball low in the pocket. Tended to lock onto receivers, namely Cobi Hamilton, and forced throws as a result. Made a number of throws that will make evaluators shake their heads, but have to take the bad with the good with him.
2. Zac Dysert, Miami (OH)
Height/Weight: 6'3/231
40 Time: N/A
Comparison: Ben Roethlisberger, in terms of being able to buy himself some time and throw with defenders draped
2012 Stats: 302-of-480 (62.9%) for 3,483 yds (7.26 YPA), 25 TD/12 INT; 265 rush yds, 2 TD
Pick projection: Raiders in the third-round
Positives/Negatives: Forced to play out of a quick throw, four and five wide receiver offense in 2012 to compensate for poor offensive line play. Much more effective in 2011, working in the pocket, stepping up against edge pressure, and making throws when draped by defenders. Very good at throwing on the run, even testing vertically when moving to his right. Sailed targets at the Senior Bowl but didn't see that happen in tape review. Flashes anticipation on comebacks and breaking routes, not just on crossing patterns. Made some unbelievable throws downfield with effortless velocity and bucket placement. That's where his accuracy shows the most. Inconsistent feeling backside rushers. Needs to prove he can find check-downs and secondary reads inside the pocket rather than escaping to space, but that could have also been the offense's fault in 2012. Some easy throws are blatantly off target for no apparent reason. Also showed a tendency to lock onto a first read in 2012. Did the offense in his final season stunt his development?
3. Ryan Nassib, Syracuse
Height/Weight: 6'2/227
40 Time: 5.06
Comparison: Jake Locker with better accuracy
2012 Stats: 294-of-471 (62.4%) for 3,749 yds (7.96 YPA), 26 TD/10 INT; 142 rush yds, 2 TD
Pick projection: Bills at No. 8
Positives/Negatives: There are some frenetic qualities to the Syracuse product's game, but if harnessed he can be quite good. Perhaps he is comfortable with the jittery movements, but they have resulted in good and bad things. Has plus velocity in the short and intermediate game when balanced and clean in his footwork. Quick release, gets the ball out in a hurry when necessary. When the rhythm is there, the accuracy follows. Shows that he can make multiple reads, san look off safety to come to the opposite side of the field. Does his best to avoid sacks, but puts himself in those situations too. Puts a lot of air under deep balls, perhaps due to his motion, footwork, or lack of vertical arm strength, but it gives his man a chance to make a play. Sells play action and screens well, throwing well on the run to his right. Trust in his arm strength has led to poor decisions and poor placement when forcing passes into tight windows. It all goes back to that frenetic movement, for me.
4. Matt Barkley, USC
College Experience: Fourth-year senior
Comparison: Ryan Fitzpatrick
2012 Stats: 246-of-387 (63.6%) for 3,273 yds (8.46 YPA), 36 TD/15 INT
Pick projection: Jaguars at No. 33
Positives/Negatives: Might make more adjustments at the line than any other passer in this class. Usually accurate when he is able to set his base and stride into his throws. Asked to move the pocket and throw on the run, or roll and plant to reset and test downfield. Needs to be a rhythm passer, plant off back foot and hit target. Will struggle to make time for himself. Has good placement when able to step into throws, even on vertical targets, but lack of velocity will make those throws more difficult in trash. Will he have smaller windows to hit if he is a tick late on his reads?
5. Tyler Bray, Tennessee
Height/Weight: 6'6/232
College Experience: Third-year junior
40 Time: 5.05
Comparison: Jeff George
2012 Stats: 268-of-451 (59.4%) for 3,612 yds (8.01 YPA), 34 TD/12 INT
Pick projection: Browns in the fourth-round
Positives/Negatives: When set, and even unbalanced at times, he has a ridiculous arm. not only from a velocity standpoint, but some vertical shots are precise. Was on the losing end of a lot of drops and contested catches. Footwork is a major issue. Does he care about improving it and does his decision making drop as the team's falls further back on the scoreboard? Has added weight, but throws were all arm. Very little use of the lower body. Can change his arm slot.

Two of the reasons everyone loves college sports are the unpredictability of each and every game and the spontaneous actions of the players and fans on a regular basis.
One of the most beloved traditions when it comes to college athletics, specifically on the gridiron and the hardwood, is watching the student body rush the field or court following an upset victory.
Unfortunately, over the past five years or so, every fan base and student section across America, especially during basketball season, feels they are entitled to rush the court whenever they choose.
Well, they're not.
Lately it has seemed that anything above a win over Northwest Central Island State warrants an enthusiastic crowd to file from its seats to the playing surface.
Since many schools are beginning to ruin one of college basketball's greatest and most entertaining visuals after an improbable victory, I have decided to lay out the ground rules that all schools and student sections should follow when it comes to storming the court.
Rule #1: The opposing team must be ranked in the Top 25
While beating a team like North Carolina is always a marquee victory for any school, the win shouldn't be as highly touted if the Tar Heels are having an off year. Yes, even if you're the College of Charleston and may only beat the Heels one time in your school's history.
If your opponent is unranked, a court storming isn't warranted.
Rule #2: Your team cannot be ranked in the Top 25
If your squad is receiving enough recognition and playing well enough to be nationally ranked, then you are to remain in the bleachers after a big victory.
Even if you beat a top five team on the final shot of the ball game, the excitement and jubilation you experience needs to be controlled from your seat.
With the way college basketball is these days, it shouldn't be a huge surprise that a ranked team takes down a top-tier opponent at home.
Rule #3: Schools with an NCAA Championship are not permitted to storm the floor
That's right, I'm talking about you Indiana, North Carolina, Syracuse, and any other school rich in basketball tradition that has stormed the court.
I don't care how bad your season has been, how much your program has suffered for years, or how good the opponent was, if you're a school that has a banner hanging on the inside of your arena you should never rush the floor. Ever.
You should be expecting to win big games over top teams, not surprised.
Rule #4: If your team has reached the NCAA tournament three consecutive years, stay off the floor
This is a rule for some, not all schools. Really, all BCS schools should follow this rule while mid-major teams are the exception.
Typically if you've been able to make it to the NCAA tournament for three consecutive seasons, it means you've won some pretty significant games against formidable opposition, at least for those major conferences.
It is a little different story for the mid-major conferences, who could simply win three straight conference tournament championships and not have one significant win in all three seasons. If your team gets in because of good tournament play and has yet to beat a top 25 squad, feel free to rush the floor.
Rule #5: BCS schools never rush the court after a win over a mid-major conference opponent
I understand that there are some really good mid-major schools out there. Gonzaga is always a tournament team; Butler has made it two NCAA title games in the past four years; and Xavier is no stranger to the national polls.
However, even if these teams are in the top five, a team like Rutgers shouldn't be headed to the court after a victory.
Bigger schools have more resources and typically more students. A win over a mid-major team, no matter how good, shouldn't impress you enough to storm the court.
Rule #6: If you meet the qualifications, don't half-ass your celebration
Now, if your team has met all of the qualifications and the game has ended up being a complete shocker to the world, run wild in celebration to experience the joy of a major victory on a national level with the players.
But when you rush the court, there is still one rule you need to follow: don't half-ass your approach to storming the court. Not sure what I mean? Check out how bad Seton Hall fans failed in their attempt to storm the floor:
A good court-storming should look more like this:
Well done, Penn State. Well done.
If college basketball fans and student sections across the land would adhere to these simple guidelines it would bring back some of the glory and significance to the celebration that is rushing the floor.
I'm not trying to rob students of their fun, I'm trying to bring some sanity and tradition back to college hoops.

I am writing to clarify points made in an article posted on Alabama.com, an online news source. The article focuses on a national tour by Mercy for Animals, an animal activist group that is touring the nation protesting outside of Walmart stores. The group's protest is in regard to the farms from which Walmart sources its pork.
Mercy for Animals cites its qualms with Walmart's pork producers as the use of gestation crates for pregnant sows, female pigs. Gestation crates were introduced for many reasons. When housed in group housing, sows become aggressive and will fight, injuring each other.
Gestation crates prevent this from occurring. Also, they allow for each sow to be fed according to her individual nutritional needs.
Around the time of farrowing, giving birth to piglets, sows are moved to farrowing crates. Farrowing crates prevent the sow from lying on her piglets, as well as allow the piglets a clean, dry environment due to their design.
Farmers are working consistently to improve the welfare of their animals, to ensure they can live long, healthy, happy lives. Other solutions have been considered, but none have yielded the same benefits, often having more disadvantages.

Wifey is threatening to kill me if I don't come up with a will for us. It's just a threat, because she wants to die first, so she won't have to clean out my garage.
Are there horror stories about using a self-service, such as Legal Zoom? Any recommendations?
Add a line similar to:
"If any beneficiaries of this will contest the distribution of the assets in any fashion, they then forfeit their portion and will receive no more than $1.00".
In my aunt's trust documents, there was actually a line that just about read as you stated.
No horror stories (because I haven't expired yet)...
I subscribe to the theory that there are some things left to the professionals....surgery, dental work, lawyer "talk" etc.
The T I will work on...worst thing that will happen is that I will have to walk. I'll leave aircraft repairs to the Licensed mechanics, though.
Some folks are reasonable with their charges...some want you to make their mortgage payment for a few months. If you really, really, want it to go "right" - go to a well (highly) recommended person.
Sounds like my brother and me. I told him he's not allowed to die first, because I don't want to have to clean out his house.
Ricks,if you have a bank that you deal with,sometimes they have folks that can advise you as to what to do.
My dad delt with some folks that work with the bank and they helped him draw his up.Estate planning department or something like that.
He seemed happy with the service.
May be something to ask about.
I think a lot depends on how much and how complicated your estate will be and how many heirs you have. Obviously, if you're the surviving spouse and you have only one child, a simple "It all goes to..." may be enough. On the other hand, complex investment portfolios, real estate holdings, etc. and multiple heirs could make it much more complicated, thereby necessitating a lawyer.
Also, for many a revocable living trust works better than a will for the major assets, backed up by a will for the smaller incidentals.
Just my $.02 worth...
My grandfather also had the "no dispute" line in his.
This probably won't apply to you Ralph unless for grandchildren...my wife and I have a notation that each child will only receive 1/3 or their portion at age 25, the second third at 30 and the final payment at 35. This would hopefully let them be stupid if they choose the first and maybe even the second time and by 35 they won't blow it all on new cars and such and possibly be established enough that if they don't have a house they could get into one or invest in a retirement account.
Not that I am worth millions but my children range from 24 to 17 and I wouldn't want them to "loose" a full inheritance at a young age and regret it later.
I just went within the last year with both my parents to have a will drawn up by a local lawyer. He only charged $100 for the will ....yes it had that Poison pill line about anyone contesting the will would only receive $1.
Where the lawyer gets even with estate is at probate time. Then they charge a lot more.
You might ask how much.....
An accurate and professional estate plan is essential. Issues include estate taxes (may increase to 50%+ with the coming tax legislation), real estate transfer and title, and general well being of a family. For those of us in business, either a buy sell agreement or stock redemption agreement with partners is needed to protect loved ones.
Very good documents are available on the internet. However professional advice is needed to determine which ones to use for each situation, how to properly execute them, and last, alternates should matters change. In addition slight changes in estate situations exist from state to state. A California Will may not be appropriate in Arizona. You can prepare an estate plan yourself, and maybe it will be correct, but unlike working on a Model T, you won't have an opportunity to correct the document when it is needed!
The cost of a simple will is nominal. My office charges $150. However, like anything else, the price can increase in direct proportion to the plan complexity and circumstances.
Just my thoughts and I encourage you to consult a local attorney for advice..
Thanks for all the input, guys. I like the no dispute line. There was also the wise man who let one son divide the pie, and the other son choose which half.
Tim, the best laid plans.. I once had several conversations with a guy driving a new Rolls Royce that made his money loaning to heirs on their future winnings. Unfortunately, there are ways around restrictions.
Many years ago I came up with the thought: Those who deserve an inheritance will probably never need it. I haven't found anybody yet to dispute that.
Nothing divides a family like the inheritance. My parents had nothing, so all seven of us brothers and sisters get along great.
Be careful your heirs don't get into a snit and not talk to one another for years. Best to ask each one which things he/she would like to inherit. Then if there are several who want the same thing, figure out a way to allot them and write it out in your papers. Or determine that everything will be auctioned off and all the money divided equally among the heirs.
What my cousins fought over was a hat which was part of our great grandfather's civil war uniform. Now he was also my great grandfather, and they could have given it to me and so they would all be disappointed instead of all but one!
Anyway, You and your wife must decide what will be done with your things. In some cases, the children aren't the least bit interested in the Model T's or other of your prizes, so you will need to decide whether to pass them on or auction them off, or give to a museum etc.
Whatever you do, get it professionally done or it could cost your heirs a lot of money to untangle.
Good luck.
The old man went to see his lawyer, to have him draw up a will. It was a simple matter and didn't take long. The fee was $100. The old man paid with a hundred dollar bill and left. After his client was gone, the lawyer noticed that a couple of bills had stuck together and he had accidentally received $200. This presented him with an ethical dilemma. Should he tell his partner?
Four old men in their late 80's had been friends since childhood. Inevitably, one finally passed away. The remaining three came to the service. As they passed the casket the first laid a $100 bill inside and said, "Just in case you need it". The second did and said the same. The third picked up the two $100 bills and replaced them with a check for $300 saying, "Cash it if you need it".
My friends father died in 2007. the will was contested by his new wife. The courts assigned a public defended to represent the estate. it took 4 years to settle. the only one who made out was the lawyer. The (lawyer) sold everything. The 5 antique cars, cars parts, personel items and the annuities. The family got "nothing" the score was Lawyer 1 Family 0
That makes for a big mess when a older man or woman, say early 70's ,looses a spouse and then picks up another mate.The kids don't consider this johny come lately part of the family but when the woman dies,he walks with everything or she depending on the situation.
Keep the kids in mind.They were part of your life before a possiable future mate.
A situation similar happened to a 70's fellow up the road a piece.His wife died and this gold digger came along.His kids tried to warn him,did no good.She said "get rid of this rusty junk",He did,"remodel this house" He did.His money dwindled.Later she wanted a new car,and a new this and that.His money got low,she got gone.
Now his kids are sitting back saying,"we told ye". Sometimes,not allways,some young folks aint dumb.
Obviously with my parents divorced,mother passed on,my dad single,me the only kid,I will inherit my dads place and stuff.
But I told him in plain english when he started talking wills 3 things.
1,That useless Da-- ski boat and jetski are leaveing here.Both are like new,aint been in the water in 10 years.
2.That dang dodge truck,probably leaving to.I have since punted on that becauce the truck has 260,000 miles on it and still going!
3.If you die with money in your pocket,never haveing something you wanted,it is your own fault.You worked for it,you earned,enjoy it.
After telling him these 3 things I added
"oh and uh,I would be headed straight back to Oklahoma with a much bigger truck this time to convert the boat and jet ski funds to something usefull.Like T parts". He shakes his head and aggrees that is probably what will happen.
You should have a will, powers of attorney, healthcare instructions etc. If you or your wife pass away or become incapacitated without such one or both of you will be in a real mess. I suspect you have a significant estate that would justify the expense of a competent attorney. I don't think this is the area to cut corners. Talk to your friends and associates and find an attorney that can help you for a reasonable fee.
Decades ago my mother made a list of the furniture in their house and who gets what. After they passed the list was lost so my sister and I just divided it up. When the list was finally found the list matched exactly how the furniture was divided. Sometimes parents just know.
I'm writing my will right now while on this sight so here goes, if youre dumb enough to want any of the crap I've got congratulations it's yours. You lose.
I have one kid. I still live in the house she grew up in - a postage stamped sized two story thing built in 1927 with about 700 useable square feet of living space and a woodstove for heat.
I'm an industrial parts salesman.
She is a medical professional living in a modern 4 story, 3000 sq ft home with appliances that talk to each other, built on the side of a hill on 200 acres of second growth forest with horse trails and ponds. The loft over their drive-through, two car garage is almost as big as my house.
Whenever she comes to visit I like to joke, "just think sweetheart, someday this'll all be yours" as I motion to the hovel on my town lot.
My dad was one of the most organized people I have ever known. (In 1962, my dad, my mom, my sister and I went on a vacation by car from St Louis to Seattle to Los Angeles and back home. Before we left, every hotel/motel where we were going to stay on the entire trip was booked and confirmed.) In the years before his death, he started cataloging everything in the house, estimating value, taking photographs, and allocating all of it between my sister and me. After he and my mom had both died, my sister and I divided everything ourselves with no disagreements ("Dad had this on your list, but I'd really like to have it." "Okay."). At least it kept him busy.
A few years after my dad died, my mother had a stroke. What was more important than a will was an absolute power of attorney, followed by a health care directive. From one day to the next, I had to start managing everything in her name and the POA was invaluable. Based on that experience, Anja and I have each signed a POA designating the other, with our daughter as alternate in both cases.
Executor of the Estate should NOT be one of the children. Get an intelligent niece or nephew to do that job. It limits the argument of favoritism among the siblings.
And the above is why you should have some one In The Know do your will. Average price for an average guy? $60 to 100. You'd be surprised to know that there are standard forms to cover most situations and all have room for options you might think of.
Will or no will, the only way to be sure that your stuff ends up going where you want it to go, is to give it away while you're alive and competent. That way, you can take pleasure in watching your kids appreciate their gifts. If you've raised your kids so poorly that they'll just fight over your estate, then they'll all get what they deserve in the end.
You are so right Eric, thats what tends to happen in my family. My grandmother started divvying up what she wanted us to have years before her demise, so we could have, and enjoy it, and she could see that it was going where she wanted it to , and to where it was appreciated!!! Nothing brings out the worst members of a family like a death.
All people are different! What we treasure, is someone's "junk". It is a good idea to find out in advance who would like what, and who doesn't want something. Sometimes when downsizing to a smaller place, heirlooms can be given while we are still living to those who would treasure them.
Other cases such as a marriage late in life, there will be items from two families merging. Not enough room in the house for everything. That is another time to gift or if no one wants an item to sell it or donate it.
A pre-nuptual agreement, along with wills and trusts, can also simplify the division of property upon either divorce or death.
My advice is not always right, but you can't beat the cost.
"Greed" has a nasty part in any situation especially
when its not a family member (blood line) involved in the estate
Leave it all to Chewbaca! Anyone wants to know his decisions, just give him a keyboard
Ralf -- I don't know about Callifunny but in Messachusetts it pays to set up a revocable trust with surviving trustee assignment for the IRA's, stocks, and real estate because it bypasses the probate court. You can out your T into it and even your gold tooth if you want.
Ricks,something I forgot to mention,dont fergit to put that Bird in your will.It will out live most all of us!
I don't have to worry about this stuff too much. My screwed-up family has made certain that I will always be broke and in debt, barely scraping by and only having a few antique cars because I am too stubborn to not have them. Besides, I get much more joy from the cars than any of my family. Most of family work way to hard trying to not get along with anybody. They are already all fighting over stupid nothings so that I don't need to worry about their relationships falling apart over my things.
If I do make out a will, I think I will leave anything of value to the Horseless Carriage club, HCFI, and MTFCA.
I just have to figure out how to get it to them because shipping would probably be more than it is worth.
Drive carefully, and enjoy it while you can! W2
Daniel -- Fantastic way to get even with a kid -
Tell your 3,000 sq ft daughter that when you pass she will have to live in your 700 sq ft home for a year before she can have anything otherwise it will go to her ex boyfriend!
Daniel, that's funny!
Everyone has a little different situation.
Some people have a bunch of kids that think it all should go to them.
Unfortunately greed can get in the way of clear thinking.
Prepare your will in such a way so that your wife or you get ALL of the estate at the event of your or hers death. NOT your kids!!
The biggest mistake is to not have a will at all. You or your wife will have all kinds of #$%^^&*!! if you dont.
You or your wife deserve to dispose of your estate as you see fit and not some court or greedy kids.
Money does strange things to people when they find out that they think they are entitled to some.
Your kids may not be the greedy type but always let your will be the final say so.
Fred, now that's a fine idea...hold the hefty life insurance policy hostage for a year and tell her she has to cut and split her own wood and do the oil changes on the T and T/A and somehow rake up all those maple leaves in the fall after they've gotten rained on, and repair the fences and.....
well I guess that's what she helped me do for the last 4-5 years she was still at home...grin...
This is a great thread that every kid of every age should read - young and old.
It really puts things into perspective.
Thank you guys !
Boy, I keep getting the best ideas from this thread. Hope you are benefitting, too.
I took a course in Personal Law many years ago. One of the points was life insurance should be carried only for a beneficiary who would be hurt monetarily by your death.
Just remember where there is a will there's more then just a way, there's relatives, and it's all relative whether any of them get anything. :-)
Great Thread Ralph!
Or you can do like my dad did. He spent it all, and after his cremation and services, my sister and I got about $1,000 each. He had distributed most of the heirlooms beforehand, and my sister and I had no disagreements or arguments about distributing the other things. He had a simple will which left everything equally to each of us.
So what you need to do, is time your demise to co-incide with spending your last penny. Then you need no will and there will be no probate.
More advice that a financial advisor friend told me, and I'm doing, that I wish my recently deceased mother did:: When kids borrow money, write it down with their signature and put it in the safe deposit box with the will. If not paid off before your death, the IOU will be added, with whatever interest you choose, to the estate total. When the estate is divided, each one gets back his IOU as part of his share of the estate.
I like that Noel! I just cut and pasted that and put it into an email to a long time friend who may benefit from it. Thanks.
On Sunday morning the wife and I were sitting around, quiet and thoughtful, when I said to her,
"If I die before you, I want you to sell all my stuff, right away."
"Now why would you want me to do something like that?" she asked.
"I figure that a woman as fine as you would eventually remarry and I don't want some other asshole using my stuff."
She thought that over for a minute and said, "What makes you think that I'd marry another asshole?"
Oh oh, makes a guy think for a minute.
Ken, Sounds like a Dangerfield moment to me. :-)
When my grandparents died my dad was executor. One sister was probably going to be a problem, as in wanting everything. Dad took every last thing to an auction house. He told them if they wanted something they better bid on it. He said "Let your pocketbook be your guide." He then divided up the proceeds equally among all children. I thought it was a great idea, no one got real crazy at the public auction, and everybody got what they wanted, and someone else took the rest.
I you have a family lawyer or a CPA ask them for a referral. Money well spent to do it right even if you're not in your senior years. It should cover all aspects including your wishes if both you and your spouse went at the same time. Cars to pets to stuff in special hiding places. Then again - if you don't care and don't believe in the after life you won't know. But it is a big help to those you leave behind. It's always a mess if there is no plan. Moreover - do you really want to give it to the government? My 2 cents.
just spend everything now. it'll be easier.
I have just been through hell administering my folks estate. First, the more expensive the law firm, the bigger the mess and ridiculous the fees. You need a good lawyer, but must be sympathetic and well versed in myriad problems. They can give an accurate quote up front as long as you dont hide stuff. It aint like "uncovered conditions" in a restoration project! Make sure they dont "hire" another partner in their own damned firm for expert advice to pad the fees. This is a common and secretive practice, or I should have said lucrative practice. Interview them ad nauseum on their own dime until you are comfortable. The best solution even if incredibly sentimental property or possessions are involved, sell it, then divide the cash. Few can face that, but that is best. Money divides well, rings, necklaces, property and antique cars do not.
I have a friend who is a financial adviser, he tells everybody turn it into cash, but they rarely listen; and he has to listen to horror stories forever afterward. I am no lawyer, but I cannot believe the "no challenge" advice in threads above would hold water. You might scare some one weak off, but a serious contester would beat you on the a...., even if you are six foot under.
Nobody has yet mentioned greedy or unstable spouses of close relatives, etc. But you need to deal with this, in advance, even if a tiny estate. The dear mother of one of my best friends died recently after a long bout with Alzheimers. She had nothing in this physical world, except the best: her two sons knew she loved them and they loved her and they have prospered. They created a touching memorial service and there was just peace and joy. That love was worth more than any money or possessions that everybody fights about. What an incredible legacy. Think about it.
The sad corollary to that is years ago another friend, who was recently married near middle age sadly committed suicide 6 mos after the wedding. The beloved family summer place, of generations, was forced to sale by the 6 mos wife because she wanted her share out and they did not have the cabbage to come to terms to buy her out Think about that! Dont skin the cat on lawyers, but dont let em skin you, it will be a live skinning of many people for sure and it hurts!!
If I cannot bear to auction off my few cars before I tip over, then my will states they will either go to a favorite charity for disposal, or regular auction. If any nephews or nieces or grandchildren who want to fight for em, well the highest bidder wins, fair and square. I make an exception for anyone who truly loves one or another car for its history and will use it and cherish it.
Thats my 2 cents and good luck everybody.
Ralph, Most of the above is good advice but one crucial item is left out: Where are the documents,titles, safe deposit boxes,keys and contents etc. The executor/ administer should be given a list and location of all the above. It can take weeks or months to locate assets without such a list. Also don't burden the layman executor without the help of someone who knows their around the probate court. It can be a nightmare if you don't know the ropes. Probably an attorney. John
Keeping important papers, especially something such as a will, in a safe deposit box is not a very smart thing to do.
Anything your survivors might need to wrap up your estate should never be kept in a safety deposit box.
As my dad got older, he made me an alternate on my parents' safe deposit box. A year or so ago, I added my daughter to ours (which is actually the same box my folks had, come to think of it).
Several years ago,We set up a revocable living trust ,which includes virtually everything we own,power of att over each other,living wills,etc. i also got my mother to set one up. When she passed,we went to the bank and got her documents from safe deposit box,used her checking to pay bills on the house till it sold ,etc. We never had to go to one lawyer nor probate court. Really simplifies things. Especially if you keep the Darn lawyers out of your business.
I should have said one of the central points of planning carefully is to avoid probate court altogether. The example above is great.
On a modest estate of 100k, if it goes to probate, at least in my state the lawyers could skin easily for 5 to 10K. The state and the probate lawyers, the lowest of the low ,make it nearly impossible for a lay person to do probate.
On top of that the process could take 18 months.
I had a small dealing with probate, unfortunately . During estate planning somebody forgot to disclose bonds in a safe deposit box .They can only be cashed with the holders social number unless authorized by the probate court unless you do as suggested below. The lawyer was too dumb to have it on their checklist. When it became public, one of those lowest of the low repeatedly wrote offering to lend money against the probate property
In order to pay estate taxes.
Also depending on laws, I believe some states may require banks to lock off safe deposit boxes on death of the holder unless multiple signatories on it, as in thread above. Check it out. Better off in the hands of a trusted and reasonable lawyer.
Finally, federal bonds and the like. Get them retitled POD payable on death to you or kids etc, that way they avoid probate. Now this is a perfect ethical milestone where a lawyer would rather you did not do that, isn't it? Possibly if you use this in your lawyer interview , you will quickly find out about ethics and if they' really know details of their estate business. As you can tell, I learned some stuff the hard way.
I hope some dope don't bring an action for disclosing trade secrets !!!
Fun, ain't it.
In Missouri you can also title a car TOD (transfer on death). When my dad realized that he only had a matter of months left, he retitled his car with a TOD provision to me.
In Calif, cars titled Joe and Jane require both signatures to register and sell. Joe or Jane requires only one sig to sell.

TRAINING: Each training day for me is different and focuses on building new skills and improving my overall control of my body and my mind. I train in Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Wrestling, Boxing, Muay Thai and MMA. I also do Pilates, Yoga and Strength Training every week. I think my approach to training has changed over the years. I don't just train for fights anymore. I train year round and my diet is always at the top of my priority list. I am a martial artist and I live my life like one. I am always in the Academy working on improving and that will never change throughout my life
When and why did you start training for fighting? I watched my karate instructor, the legendary Joe Ancona, fight in a venue in New Orleans when I was about 7 years old. I told my dad that I wanted to be a fighter one day and I trained in martial arts here and there during my childhood. I saw the UFC when I was 14 years old and I was fascinated. I have been training and working on my game ever since with the hopes of making to the big show. I guess you could say it is a life long dream of mine to fight for a living.
What titles have you held? I have held numerous BJJ titles over the years. In MMA I was a Rage in the Cage Champion, Eruption MMA Middleweight Champion and the Universal Gladiators Middleweight Champion.
Do you have any heroes? My master Rodrigo Medeiros and definitely all of the old school Carlson Gracie masters from my lineage like Ricardo Liborio, Murilo Bustamante, The Nogueira Brothers, Mario Sperry, Ricardo Arona, Amaury Bitetti, Bebeo Duarte, Ricardo De La Riva, Julio Fernandez, Marcello Alonso, Rey Diego, Wallid Ismail. These guys taught me what being a true warrior was all about back in the day when I was a no one in their gym, and I will forever be indebted to all of them and also the Grand Master Carlson Gracie. Also my heroes are Yves Edwards, Rich Clementi, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, Che Guevara and Nelson Mandela.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means everything to me. I just want to fight the best guys in the world. I want to be the best and I want to fight the best and the only place to do that is the UFC. I am honored and privileged to get the opportunity, but at the same time I plan on making the most of it and staying in the UFC and one day becoming champion.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to five different colleges after I got out of the military. I eventually got my bachelors degree in business administration from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
What was your job before you started fighting? I was a manager of a retail store in the cellular phone business. Then I got a job in management for geophysical exploration company out of Houston. I put my geophysical exploration dreams on hold to be a full time fighter, but I am probably going back to school in the fall to finish my MBA and I hope to one day get my doctorate and be a college professor.
If any list ranks in any martial arts styles: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt under Rodrigo Medeiros, Judo Blackbelt, Thug-Jitsu Master under Yves Edwards
Favorite Grappling Technique: Armbar
Favorite Striking Technique: Anything to the body

Jeffrey J. Lake, 46, of Olathe, passed away Dec. 26, 2012 in Wichita. He died peacefully in his sleep and in the company of his family. He was born Sept. 17, 1966 to Joseph and Diane (Baker) Lake in Pratt. Jeff attended school in Pratt, and earned numerous advanced software certifications from Microsoft and other major vendors. He worked in the information technology area with several companies over the years and most recently was a lead information technology expert with MTW Solutions of Overland Park.
The most important aspect of Jeff's life was the special relationships he had and the time he spent with family and friends. His two Jack Russell dogs were always by his side and Jeff had a special love for all animals. Jeff was an avid fan of the KU Jayhawks and also was a great supporter of the KC Chiefs and the KC Royals.
He also enjoyed being outdoors especially when hunting with his good friends. Jeff loved music and played various instruments. Jeff had a keen sense of humor and easily made his many friends laugh with his jokes and banter. He will be sorely missed by all.
Jeffrey is survived by his grandmother, Helen Lake; mother, Diane Sevick; father, Joe Bob Lake; sister and brother-in-law, Jennifer and Chris Hearne; brother and sister-in-law, David and Farha Lake; and nieces and nephews, Madison Hearne, Evan Hearne, Oliver Lake, and Gavin Lake.
Memorial service is at 2 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 3, at College Hill United Methodist Church, 2930 E. 1st St. N., Wichita, KS 67214. The family suggests memorial contributions to the American Cancer Society or Kansas Humane Society. Visit www.MyLakeviewFuneralHome.com for more information.
