An Excellent History Of The Evil DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket Monopoly
NFL Sunday Ticket is like amazing delicious super crack. From the ability to watch whatever game your fickle heart desires, to the hypnotic decadence of "The Red Zone Channel," NFL Sunday Ticket is well, radical.
But you can only get it on DirecTV. So it sucks. And it makes the NFL into a bunch of hypocrites when they whine that Comcast and Time Warner are relegating its "NFL Network" to a sports tier. And they whine an awful lot.
From ESPN:
The doublespeak here is rich. The NFL restricts its magnificent Sunday Ticket product, which enables viewers to choose for themselves which game to watch, to the lucky few who get the satellite service DirecTV. Millions of homes cannot receive DirecTV for technical reasons or can pull in the signal only after expensive special installations. Frank Hawkins, the NFL's chief negotiator for television contracts, told me that when he lived in Virginia, his home could not receive DirecTV until he had a tall metal pole installed in his backyard. Yet although the NFL won't let anyone in the U.S. except DirecTV subscribers watch Sunday Ticket, the league is furious that Time-Warner and Cablevision won't buy the NFL Network and Comcast will buy the NFL Network for its premium sports tier only. The NFL wants NFLN on every basic cable system, which was the path to success for ESPN and CNN. A war of words has broken out, in which the NFL is denouncing the cable carriers in consumer-rights language while asking that Congress intervene to force the NFL Network onto basic cable. The cable carriers are firing back, accusing the NFL of all manner of perfidy. Meanwhile, 35 million households already get the NFL Network, while only 1.6 million get Sunday Ticket — and the consumer's barriers to Sunday Ticket are much higher than the barriers to the NFL Network.
The article goes on to explain the sordid history of the DirecTV Sunday Ticket monopoly. Interesting stuff. Monopolies are bad.
It's time to open up NFL Sunday Ticket to everyone [ESPN]

I know you said that you wouldn't really want to give up a TCG for the cub, but if there's anything I could add to the cub that would make for a worthy trade for maybe Lil XT (maybe something you could sell or w/e). Or i do also still need a purple puffer which is a bit more common if you have access to an extra & I'd do that 1:1 for a cub.

Peter [Pē'tûr]—a rock or stone. The Greek form of the Aramaic surname, Cephas. Peter was the brother of Andrew and the son of Jona, or Johanan (Matt. 4:18; John 1:40; 1 Cor. 1:12).
Peter is another of those outstanding characters in the Bible gallery of men, requiring a book all his own to fully expound his life and labors. From the many references to this reed transformed into a rock, we gather these facts and features of "The Big Fisherman."
He was a fisherman of Bethsaida, a name meaning "the house of fish." Afterwards he resided in Capernaum, where Jesus frequently lodged during His Galilean ministry.
His father was Jona, or Jonah, and Andrew was his brother. Both sons were fishermen on the Lake of Galilee and were evidently in partnership with Zebedee and his sons.
He first met Christ at Bethany beyond Jordan, where John the Baptist exercised his ministry. Both Peter and Andrew were disciples of the Baptist. It was Andrew who introduced Peter to Christ.
He received a triple call as friend, disciple and apostle. Through daily contact with Jesus, seeing and hearing His words and works, Peter's character was deepened and strengthened.
He was a man with many facets of character. His life can be approached from many angles. He was naturally impulsive (Matt. 14:28; 17:4; John 21:7); tenderhearted and affectionate (Matt. 26:75; John 13:9; 21:15-17); gifted with spiritual insight (John 6:68), yet sometimes slow to apprehend deeper truths (Matt. 15:15, 16); courageous in his confession of faith in Christ, yet guilty of a most cowardly denial (Matt. 16:16; John 6:69; Mark 14:67-71); self-sacrificing yet inclined towards self-seeking (Matt. 19:27), and presumption (Matt. 16:22; John 13:8; 18:10); immovable in his convictions (Acts 4:19, 20; 5:28, 29, 40, 42).
He became the leader and spokesman of the Apostolic Twelve and of the three privileged to witness the raising of Jairus'daughter, the Transfiguration, our Lord's agony in the Garden. He himself became a miracle worker, especially during the time portrayed in Acts.
He made a confession of Christ's deity which became the foundation of the Church, and was appointed steward with authority of the keys, meaning that his was to be the privilege of opening the door of salvation to the Jews.
He miserably failed his Lord in an hour of crisis, being the only disciple to deny Christ, yet he was restored and recommissioned by Jesus after His resurrection. He became the dauntless leader of the infant Church and was foremost to protest his loyalty to Christ. After Pentecost, Peter's ministry appears in four stages:
I. Jerusalem activities, 29-35 a.d., when James eventually succeeded to leadership of the Church.
II. Palestinean mission, 35-44 a.d., during which he remained for a while at Lydda and Joppa. He received a call to Caesarea, and in the house of Cornelius opened the door of privilege to the Gentiles.
III. Syrian mission with Antioch as a center, 44-61 a.d., during which he was accompanied by his wife, who became the pioneer Zenana missionary.
IV. Rome, 61 a.d. It would seem as if Peter reached here before Paul's release from his first imprisonment, and a few years later suffered martyrdom by crucifixion, as Christ prophesied he would. Legend has it that Peter deemed himself unworthy to die in exactly the same way as his Lord had, and so begged his crucifiers to crucify him upside down.

A Caribbean Potluck Needs to Be in Your Immediate Future
The angle: Come for the party, stay for the food — this is Caribbean home cooking at its finest.
Recipes for right now: Callalloo Dip with Homemade Root Chips, Cho Cho Zucchini-and-Mint Gazpacho, Jerked Honey-Bacon Cheeseburger, Roast Salmon with Citrus Ginger Aioli, Curried Goat with White Rum and Fresh Mango
Who would enjoy this book? Cooks who love spice and bold flavors, anyone craving island food but lack a plane ticket to get there in person.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Suzanne & Michelle Rousseau
• Who published it: Kyle Books
• Number of recipes: Over 100
• Other highlights: Raise your hand if you think Caribbean cooking is all about jerk seasoning and one-pot stews — don't be shy! Suzanne and Michelle Rosseau, the ladies behind "Two Sisters and a Meal," say that these are a part of Caribbean cuisine. They're just not all of Caribbean cuisine. Not by a long shot.
The recipes in this book are drawn from the sisters' favorite family dishes, traditional Caribbean dishes, and their own modern creations using Caribbean flavors and ingredients. The dishes are fresh, boldly flavored, and sassy — the kind of dishes that make you pay full attention when they're filling your plate.
The sisters also emphasize, through stories and photos and observations of island life, that the vast majority of these dishes are meant to be shared, family-style. In fact, the book is arranged not by seasons or meals of the day, but by gatherings great and small — from a true Caribbean fete to Sunday family supper.

After having a celebratory drink as well the boys tell Martin that they have something more for him. Standing up the pull out their cocks, which are already hard. Martin gets onto his knees and starts to suck on those cocks. He takes turns on each cock, as Jan and Rado gradually get themselves completely naked. Then they sit on the sofa, with Martin naked as well and Rado begins to suck on Martin's big stiff dick. As Rado sucks that big cock Jan kisses Martin. Then Martin moves so that he can suck Jan's cock as his own is still sucked by Rado. All their cocks are rock hard and throbbing as they take turns sucking each other. Then Martin and Rado get into a 69 position for more sucking as Jan stands and wanks, whilst playing with Rado's exposed ass. Martin doesn't limit himself just to Rado's cock and he drops his head and sucks on Jan's as well. They all change positions, so that Martin is on his knees sucking Jan's stiff cock as Rado is behind Martin sucking on his hot little hole. His tongue laps as that hole and then a finger plays with it before Rado stands and shoves his throbbing cock all the way in. He fucks Martin's ass nice and deep while at the other end Jan's cock is deep down his throat. Martin takes it very well indeed and soon wants Jan's dick in his ass. So Jan lays on the sofa and Martin climbs on and rides him. Jan sucks on Rado while Martin rides him, bouncing up and down on that thick shaft. It's not long before Martin has passed the point of no return and shoots his big, creamy load all over his leg. Jan and Rado still need more though and Martin lays on this side so that Jan can fuck his ass some more. He fucks it hard and fast and soon pulls out, shooting his cum all over that hole. Rado is wanking hard as he kisses Jan and then blows his load over Martin's face to end Martin's birthday celebrations in nice style.
Jan Vetrik is aged 21 and lives in Jihlava. He is a university student who enjoys dance and fitness. He is a very nice looking guy who does his interview in English. Then, as he reclines on the bed he begins to rub his hands all over his body. The hands certainly work well and one dips into his jeans. It goes way down inside as he gropes himself. He seems to enjoy touching himself as he looks into the camera and soon is pulling out his cock, which is already hard. Jan wanks on his cock and then sits up to remove his shoes and socks and then his jeans. He looks great naked with a rock hard cock and then turns around, on his knees, to show us his sexy ass. The cheeks are spread wide apart so we see his hot, tight hole. As we linger on his hole Jan pushes his cock back between his legs and wanks on it again. Turning around and sinking down on his knees Jan wanks that gorgeous cock some more before laying down on the bed and lifting his legs in the air to show his ass again. His hands pull the cheeks apart so the hole in view. His hands stretch the hole as he pulls on those cheeks. Then Jan decides he needs to piss and does just that, into a jug. Taking some oil he rubs it all over his body, making it glisten, before wanking himself a a nice big cum shot. Having dropped his load Jan moves to the shower to wash up as a nice finale to his video.
Slavek Kopr is aged 19 and lives in Prague. He is a student who enjoys sports, fitness and ice-hockey. what a very cute looking guy Slavek is, with a very nice smile and a fit looking body. He clearly loves posing for the camera, as he slowly removes his clothes. Firstly his shirt comes off and he slings it over his shoulder as he poses. Then, jeans open, he teases us with his sexy bubble butt. Dropping the jeans further we then see Slavek's cock and balls. We get to linger over him, in his soft state before he gets that cock hard. Once it is hard Slavek proudly shows that cock off for us. Once he deems the time is right Slavek lays down and spreads his ass to show us his tight pucker hole as well. What a great looking guy, who delights in getting naked for the camera and letting us savor his beauty.

The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the first global conventional arms treaty on April 2, 2013. This is the first time the world's nations have come to agreement on a legally binding international treaty regulating trade in conventional weapons (there are already treaties regulating nuclear as well as chemical and biological weapons). The treaty is being hailed as historic for pioneering elements such as linking sales to the human rights records of buyers.
For students of international policy, the opportunity to witness these negotiations and meet and interact in person with stakeholders is invaluable. Professor Edward Laurance, a veteran of many international small arms negotiations, took a group of 11 students to New York over spring break and arranged meetings with high-level negotiators and leaders of non-profit organizations involved. "It was very interesting to hear the arguments of the different sides from the people representing them and also to learn how expectations about the effectiveness of the treaty varies from country to country," says Mohamed Maklouf (MAIPS '13).
The students also spent time in the Big Apple networking with alumni of both the Monterey Institute and Middlebury College, and many used the opportunity to meet with prospective employers, or work to land amazing internships.

California's annual mussel quarantine has started early after testing found toxins harmful to humans.
The Ventura County Star reports ( http://bit.ly/10C4DnJ ) state health officials began advising the public this week not to collect mussels because of elevated levels of domoic acid. The ban usually begins May 1.
The six-month quarantine applies to sport harvesting of all mussel species along the California coast, as well as in bays, harbors and estuaries.
Domoic acid poisoning is linked to plankton that are concentrated in filter-feeding animals, including bivalve shellfish like mussels. The majority of human cases of illnesses occur between spring and fall.
Commercially harvested shellfish are not included in the quarantine. Commercial harvesters are subject to strict requirements to ensure that all oysters, clams and mussels entering the marketplace are free of toxins.

HU women 1-3 in weekend softball tourney
Sunday, April 7, 2013 11:52 AM
The Huntington University softball team went 1-3 in a tournament at the University of St. Francis (IL) played over Friday, April 5, and Saturday, April 6.
The tournament started off promising for the Foresters, 6-12, as they built a 4-0 lead over three innings against Judson University in game one. The Eagles, though, responded with seven runs across the game's final four innings to snatch the win, 7-4.
Allison Catlett led Judson with three hits, two runs batted in and three runs while Lindsay Shellabarger's two hits, run batted in and a run scored paced Huntington.
The Eagles crept past the Foresters in hits, 9-7.
Kaylin Yon took the loss on the mound for Huntington, giving up nine hits and seven runs, three of them earned, in six innings. Yon's defense committed five errors, one of which led to two runs in the top of the fifth.
Judson's Brianna Tennyson struck out seven in a complete game win.
The Foresters flipped the script in the second game, as they trailed early before coming on strong late against Ashford University.
Huntington was down 4-0 going into the bottom of the fifth when it picked up a run, shut out Ashford at the top of the sixth and tallied four more runs at the bottom of the inning to take the lead, 5-4, which stood up.
The Foresters couldn't keep that momentum going into Saturday, though, as they dropped their first game 4-1 to St. Ambrose University.
Things were tied after four innings at 1-1 when the Queen Bees put up two runs in the fifth and another in the sixth to get the win.
Huntington had its chances, but left six runners on base.
Allison Greene got a hit and scored the Foresters' lone run on a wild pitch. Erin O'Donnell, who had a hit, a run batted in and a run, led St. Ambrose.
Nichole Garland and Kathryn Brown combined to give up only four hits, with the latter's scoreless work in the game's final four innings getting her the win.
Marcie McDougle took the loss for Huntington, giving up five hits and four runs, three of them earned, in six innings.
The Foresters didn't save their best for last, as they lost their final game of the tournament to host St. Francis 13-3.
The 1-1 game after two inningsspiraled out of control in the bottom of the third for Huntington when the Fighting Saints scored 11 runs.
St. Francis' Jenna King led all batters with five RBI. All of them came in the third inning when he had a two-run double and a three-run homer. Kiley Southall had three RBI for the game and picked up two of them in the frame.
The teams traded runs in the fifth and Huntington got another in the sixth, but the damage had already been done.
Katie Bowers paced the Foresters with a pair of hits, a run batted in and a run.
Hurler Emily Puterbaugh took the loss for Huntington, giving up four hits and four runs, three of them earned, in two innings of work.
Jasmine Sifuentez was the winning for the Fighting Saints, scattering six hits and three runs, two of them earned, across five innings.

All Aglow: Holiday Décor for the Fireplace
Here on the East Coast, we had a beautiful and mild Thanksgiving. But now, the weather has begun to cool and Jack Frost is at least thinking about nipping at our noses. And for me, there's nothing like a chill in the air to put me in the holiday spirit...
Suddenly, I start longing for the fireplace that I don't have; wishing that I could warm my toes by the hearth and that I had a stunning mantle to decorate. Luckily, these fireside ideas can easily be adapted for use in other areas of the home. Got an empty buffet top? How about a shelf? Or maybe, a media cabinet that could use some attention? Whatever your fireplace status, these designs are sure warm the cockles of your heart and to kindle the festive fires within.
Oh, and you fireplace owners? I'm not bitter...really. But be forewarned - I may invite myself over soon. (Don't worry though... I'll bring the wine!)

NEW DELHI, April 19 (UPI) -- India test-launched a new nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile Thursday that can strike targets as far away as Beijing, a military agency said.
The solid-fuel, three-stage Agni-V missile, with a range of about 3,700 miles, successfully took off from Wheeler Island, off India's east coast in the Bay of Bengal, at 8:05 a.m. local time (10:35 p.m. EDT Wednesday), India's Defense Research and Development Organization said.
The 24-hour English-language news channel Times Now showed footage of what the defense agency said was the missile rocketing through the sky at an altitude of more than 370 miles.
The agency, which built the missile for India's army, said the three stages operated as planned and the unidentified payload was used as intended.
The 57-foot-long, 1,100-pound missile, capable of carrying a 2,200-pound nuclear warhead, is expected to be operational by 2014 or 2015 after four to five repeatable tests.
It was built at a reported cost of about $482 million and would bring all of Asia, 70 percent of Europe and other regions under its strike envelope, The Times of India reported.
It could carry multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle, or MIRV, payloads, that can deliver multiple warheads at different targets, the agency said.
The missile -- whose name means "ignite" or "fire" in Sanskrit -- can be moved by truck or rail.
"It will be a quantum leap in India's strategic capability," DRDO spokesman Ravi Gupta said before the launch.
Gupta said India pursues no aggressive designs and said New Delhi's military program is based on building a "credible minimum deterrence," with a "no first use" policy.
"Our missiles are purely for deterrence," he said.
China, India and North Korea have publicly declared their commitment not to use nuclear weapons in warfare unless first attacked by an adversary using nuclear weapons.
NATO has repeatedly rejected calls for adopting such a policy, arguing pre-emptive nuclear strikes are a key option.
Russia dropped a pledge in 1993 given by the former Soviet Union not to use nuclear weapons first. It says it has a right to use nuclear weapons "in response to a large-scale conventional aggression."
Beijing and Washington had no immediate comment on India's test launch.
U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Wednesday Washington was aware of the impending test, adding India had a solid non-proliferation record and was engaged with the international community on non-proliferation issues.
The United States has called on all nuclear powers to exercise restraint with nuclear capabilities.
The five permanent member nations of the U.N. Security Council -- the United States, China, Russia, Britain and France -- are thought to have developed technology to build intercontinental missiles.


text: So I've been listening to these audio books by Thomas Stanley about Millionaires. And they're really influencing me. He says that the people who are actually wealthy, don't buy luxury items and that if you do, you will never save enough to be a real millionaire. I have a Leica M6 Classic, with Canadian 35 Summicron version 4. And one of the reasons why I bought this camera was so that I could chit chat with passersby about it. I've been asked "Is that a Leica?" at least fifty times now, and it was fun, I've even made some friends. It's an awesome camera and I love it. But I could probably sell it for a few thousand and pay down my credit card. Does a Leica appreciate at 12% (my Visa interest rate)? I'm guessing probably not. Is there anyone else, so crazy as to have bought a Leica on credit!?

DUDLEY Kingswinford suffered a 53-10 reverse against National Two North leaders Darlington Mowden Park, but were far from downhearted with the outcome.
Having leaked six tries in the opening 25 minutes, DK supporters would have feared the worst, but a spirited last-quarter show prevented the floodgates from opening.
Joint head coach Shaun Perry praised his young troops and insisted: "The boys are fronting up, and if we can keep them together they will be stronger and better players for it.
"Some players have left because they don't like the feeling of losing every week, but the lads we have here have shown their character and are committed to DKs.
"Once we got into the changing-room after the Darlington game it felt like a little victory. We just need to get that first win and keep moving forward."
Perry added: "When I took on the role at Dudley Kingswinford I didn't expect so many players to leave. As a result we've had to bring in a number of youngsters, the average age of the side must be around 19 to 20, but they've been outstanding.
"Despite the situation, we still go out believing we can win every game and the lads remain fully committed."
The DKs are still on the lookout for a new director of rugby, and applications close by the end of the month.
This Saturday DKs travel to strugglers Hull in the hope of breaking their duck.

Steve Bisciotti will take over as sole owner of the Ravens on April 8, when he will purchase the remaining 51 percent of the team from Art Modell for $325 million. At 43, he will become the second-youngest owner in the NFL.
In his lengthiest interview since joining the Ravens, Bisciotti talked yesterday with Sun staff writer Jamison Hensley at the owners meetings in Palm Beach, Fla., about the structure of the organization, his expectations for the team and the off-the-field troubles with his players.
Q. After serving as the team's minority owner for four years, what are your emotions just two weeks from becoming the sole owner? Are you nervous or excited?
A. I have a little apprehension with the notoriety aspect of it. I probably underestimated that on my way in. I never went out of my way to get to know Peter Angelos because he was owner of the Orioles, and I was a major fan. I'm not terribly excited about that aspect of how my world is changing.
Q. In many ownership changes - most notably the transition with Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder and Orioles owner Peter Angelos - there is significant turnover. Are there any significant changes planned?
A. I'm one and done on that issue. Just the Modells leaving and me coming is the major move. I've learned how the Modells do business and have been in agreement with so many things that it wasn't like I was sitting here with a list of changes. I don't have anything in my mind that I've got to do going forward. I think fans will find it boring.
Q. Many owners prefer to be hands-on and take an active role in personnel decisions. How much influence will you have in shaping the roster?
A. When people ask me what's the greatest part of this new experience for me, I say without hesitation, "Being able to walk into [general manager] Ozzie Newsome's office and ask him exactly what he's thinking. And he has to tell me." That's what every fan would like to do. To me, you don't stop being a fan when you become an owner.
Q. Will there come a point where you hear of a free agent and ask Newsome, "Can we get this player?"
A. "Can we get him?" is the key. I am absolutely going to go in there and say, "We got to get this guy." But Ozzie knows that it's not a directive. It's a wish.
Q. Do you ever foresee a time when the wishes turn into directives?
A. No, I don't see that coming. I never ever envisioned this as being the centerpiece of my life. Nothing has changed in those four years. I have never gotten one bit closer to that design of an owner that's going to be making personnel decisions. I'm so unqualified to do that relative to the kind of people that are out there. Even if all my people left, I would have so many talented people in the league that I could tap to put into those jobs that immediately would be much more qualified than me. So, I don't ever see that happening. I never want my ownership marked by whatever you want to define what a hands-on owner is. You want to be involved. You want to be included. You want to be educated. But in the end, you want somebody else that is qualified to do that job to make the ultimate decision and then judge them on a series of decisions.
Q. In the structure of your organization, where do you fit in the chain of command?
A. Ultimately, I would have the responsibility for the hiring and firing of the general manager and the coach. Brian [Billick] would have the authority over all the coaches, and Ozzie would have the authority over all the personnel. I assume that would be the only two people that would need my approval. I think I am extremely fortunate to be walking into my hometown team with a coach like Brian and a GM like Ozzie.
Q. You were involved in signing Newsome and Billick to extensions through the 2006 and 2005 seasons, respectively. How do you see their tenure under your ownership?
A. Ozzie can stay here as long as he wants. The tenure of a GM in the league is longer than the coach, because the coach is the one out on the firing line. In my interaction with Brian, I'm going to be more patient than the average fan, because I know what limitations we are setting in place that he has to live by. I'm very, very comfortable with him, and I hope that I have the longest-tenured coach in the league. I would love for Brian to be here 15 years, and he chuckles and says that there's no way that can happen. All I want is a coach that wants to grow. If he is willing to grow, we could stay here forever. I think Brian is a remarkable guy because he is very easy to deal with.
Q. There has been a growing concern among fans regarding the team's problems on offense. Do you share that frustration?
A. To me, nothing bothers me more than a lack of defense. As an owner, I truly would rather have a great defense and an average offense, because you can't have both [because of the salary cap]. If that is indeed the case, is it fair to criticize [offensive coordinator] Matt Cavanaugh, who is a very intelligent, committed guy? If we gave him everything we needed, we would have 60 percent of the salary cap on his side, and our defense would be giving up 14-point leads in the fourth quarter.
Q. With the Ravens' off-the-field troubles, this franchise has been labeled by many as the Raiders of the East. Is that fair?
A. I think that label is inevitable with the situations we've had. But I also know in my four years I've been more impressed from a character standpoint of people like Ray Lewis and Jamal Lewis than anybody else in the organization. They are not bad guys. They are great guys. When these kind of situations arise, a picture is going to be painted that is going to take you a long time to change. Having said that, I think a majority of this comes from a defense-first philosophy. They don't look at offensive-minded teams as being bad guys.
Q. What's your threshold for those players who are arrested or get caught up in trouble?
A. I have an enormous amount of tolerance for mistakes and very little tolerance for a lack of character. I think there is a very big difference there. We are dealing with a lot of young men who have been given an enormous amount of talent, notoriety and money. They are experiencing things that the average person doesn't. There are people trying to manipulate these wealthy, famous young men every day of their life. So, I think in getting to know the organization that you should build a tolerance for young men to make mistakes.
Q. What are your expectations on the field? When do you expect to win a Super Bowl title?
A. I think we have proven with the parity in the league that you can be a very good team and come up short over and over again like the Buffalo Bills ... and Philadelphia Eagles. I think with our coaching staff and our personnel staff that we will continually overachieve on the average of the NFL teams. That's what I'm very excited about. Whether we win or get back to a Super Bowl, a single bounce of the ball can change that.
Q. With most of the teams in the AFC North in a rebuilding mode, what are the chances of building a dynasty in the division?
A. I would like to say yes to make everybody happy. But I see [coach] Marvin Lewis and what he is doing with Cincinnati. Cleveland brought in [quarterback] Jeff Garcia and has great receivers and a young defense. I don't look at our division [as] easy to dominate. I think if we can get to the top of our division, we've prepared ourselves to beat just about anybody.
Q. Because Paul Tagliabue once said Baltimore should use its money to build a museum and not buy an NFL team, many believe the commissioner has been against this city. In your dealings with Tagliabue, is there any validity to that claim?
A. My relationship with the commissioner has been fabulous. He has been very supportive of the Modells, myself and Baltimore in general. That's a comment that burned me, too. But at the same time, it was taken out of context. And we were bruised and angry. It didn't take much to make Baltimore mad at the NFL. It was a series of unfortunate events with the Colts leaving and us missing out on expansion. I think it's a misnomer that the league has it in for us. That's part of the beauty of Baltimore. We live with a chip on our shoulder and let's not confuse the story with the facts.
Q. You sometimes talk with players after practice and have taken Ray Lewis to your courtside seats at Maryland basketball games. How close have you become with the players?
A. I think I'm an attractive owner to the players because I'm younger than most owners. So, there's a natural inclination for us to interact and communicate more. Certainly, there's a limit to that for the health of the organization. When you draft these guys and they're giving you their heart and soul, it's hard not to develop a relationship with them. I don't see that developing into much of a social relationship.
Q. What's the biggest difference between you and Modell?
A. I'm probably more inclined to the business side than the football side. Art got into this business and lived and breathed it for 40 years. As you get older, you get bored with the business side and get much more interested in the football side because that becomes your legacy. But I do anticipate that probably changing as I gain more experiences.
Q. What's your biggest fear as an owner?
A. My biggest fear is losing. You can be primed for a Super Bowl run and a couple of key injuries can obliterate it. You saw what happened to the Broncos after they lost Terrell Davis, and you saw what happened to the Atlanta Falcons after they lost Jamal Anderson.
Q. How much time will you spend with the Ravens?
A. I can see myself at 50 percent of the practices two to three days a week. My involvement is year-round, but not full time. I've worked 70 hours a week, and that's what [new team president] Dick Cass is for.
Q. There has been a distance between the Ravens and the Orioles. Will that change?
A. That was between Peter and Art. Peter didn't have to share this town with anybody at first. Then, all of a sudden, he had competition across the parking lot for sponsors and everything else. There is naturally going to be tension. Peter has been very gracious to me and my family. He invited me to dinner after the deal was done, and he has had my family to a suite for a game. I anticipate our relationship going forward to be great. I think we'll work well together.
Q. How long do you plan to own the team?
A. Maybe 10 years to life. How's that for a sentence? In some ways, it is. The obligation is very big, and I underestimated getting into it that it was 100 employees, but it was really a million stockholders. Everybody that loves this team and sets aside three hours on Sunday to watch this team is invested in it. My obligation is to them but clearly to me and my family first. I didn't want this to become my whole life. [But] I want to spend my life owning the Baltimore Ravens. I just need to make sure that I create a balance that keeps me happy, because this is not a sentence and I am not forced to do this. I'm hoping that I can integrate this major change in my life without disrupting my own quality of life. If it gets to the point where it disrupts my quality of life, it's not worth being in it. That's the only reason I can see me changing. I'm hopeful and encouraged that the Bisciotti family will be happy owning this team.
Q. Do you plan on passing this team down to your sons one day?
A. Sure. I can't say that there isn't. I probably would not want my boys to get out of college and come to work for their dad. When I dream of will my boys ever be in it, I think I would probably want them to go do something on their own and explore the world first. Then, maybe they come back to the business when they're 35 if they have the desire to.

A New Look for Wood Floors: Painting & Staining in Patterns
Do you have older wood floors that can't withstand another round of refinishing? Or does your budget mean it is impossible to refinish or replace your floors any time soon? You may want to consider painting or staining them in stripes or another pattern.
I love the look of floors with a striped stain, as in the first two photos. Not only these floors look interesting, but are a reversible and relatively inexpensive option for those who love their wood floors but are depressed by the wear and tear. Don't get me wrong, I love beautiful wood floors left as is, but it is nice to know there are options for spicing things up that aren't permanent or expensive. In fact, painting wood floors is a far more common practice in Europe than here in the U.S.
Experts recommend that when painting wood you should use durable paint such as porch paint. If you want the grain to show through for a more washed and weathered look, thin the paint slightly. The surface can then be covered with several coats of polyurethane. This Old House has a great tutorial on painting floors.
If you decide to use a stain to design your floor, Mark Cutler of Elle Decor says you should prep the floor as you normally would for staining a floor and then tape out your design very carefully. "After the first stain dries, tape out the next color, and apply it. The effect takes a bit of work, but provides you with a more transparent finish than you could achieve with paint."
• 1 I adore the stripes in this Katie Ridder kitchen via Everything LEB.
• 2 Nora Fleming's kitchen via Design Sponge.
• 3 A subtle striped look from High Heel Foot in The Door.
• 4 This floor from Alicia B Designs is very funky, though it is unclear exactly what they used to paint or stain it.
• 5 My friend Richard's fabulous floor. When I saw it at a cocktail party at night it had a much darker look than it does in this photo. It was really quite dramatic!
• 6 And what about this amazing chevron patterned stain from Alicia B Design via Design Crisis?
• 7 Stained white and brown stripes in a Texan home. House Beautiful.
• 8 Design Crisis red couch.
• 9 Better Homes & Gardens.
• 10 House Beautiful. The owner used wood is from a small mill in Montana and she striped it herself with porch paint. She says, "I didn't want to create fake patina, so I just did one coat and it soon acquired a very authentic patina with the comings and goings of my three childrenn."

AVAILABILITY: Unavailable for immediate shipment.
Liquid Boyshorts is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rawr from Shiny! But not standard These are not the standard boyshorts. i.e., look at the picture. It's not possible to make shorts this shiny in a soft material like the other boyshorts (of which I have six). I have these in gold, and I love them, I use them for pole dance and other fun activities, but I would not buy these if you want to, say, go for an hour long run in them, as the material is designed for style and fun, not comfort and moisture-wicking. Bottom line: I love them, they're super cute, but look carefully at the picture and recognize what you're buying in advance! Fit the same as other bebe sport shorts, I'm 5'5", 115lbs, and I wear an XS.
Date published: 2013-06-10
Rated 5 out of 5 by ErykhaCD from Perfect! In my opinion, these shorts are much better than the other reviewers are saying. They are exactly as shown on the model, sexy, shiny, short and tight. If you want to show off what you're working out for, then buy these shorts now. They fit true to my bebe size, I am 5 ft 5, 135 lbs, I buy medium. I have black, gold and silver colors in this style and they all fit perfectly.
Date published: 2013-01-24
Rated 2 out of 5 by renata from Not thrilled...Uncomfortable wearing these... "Usually when I purchase liquid shorts, or leggings they are almost always silky to the touch. These were not, and even with my normal size a bit too snug in certain places."
Date published: 2011-10-06
Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Over the top "I purchased these shorts because I liked the regular boyshorts from bbsp, but these were really unflattering! I bought a size bigger and since most of bebe's tops run short and only hits the top of the hip, these are too shiny to wear around. It might be okay with longer tops, but it's definitely being returned. I can't wait for bebe to come out with their regular boyshorts in more colors."

The event features a lavish afternoon of tea and all of the trimmings, from champagne to chocolates. Guests are encouraged to wear their most extraordinary hat to the event, which also includes a hat contest, live entertainment, guest speakers and a silent auction.
The tea party's purpose is to champion club programs that help teen and adolescent girls with life skills, self-esteem and healthy choices, staff member Bonnie Gibson said.
"Girls have unique needs and circumstances, especially in today's culture. We know that when young people are armed with the right information and the support of caring adults, they are more likely to stay on track, make good decisions and avoid risky behaviors," Gibson said.

If you were, you know, living your lives, you've probably missed it, but old fires are burning brightly once again: there's somewhat of a falling-out going on between KDE and GNOME, with Canonical siding squarely with... KDE. The issue seems to revolve around GNOME's lack of collaboration, as explained by KDE's Aaron Seigo.

XFCE is indeed a very good alternative to GNOME. GNOME apps work nicely in XFCE, and XFCE offers a stable and familiar desktop environment.
Pretty much the only thing I don't like about XFCE is its window manager, which is almost as lame as metacity. Openbox is a much better alternative, and you can easily change the WM in XFCE to openbox by typing in a terminal window this command:
killall xfwm4 ; openbox & exit
Then exit XFCE, saving the session. The next time you start XFCE, it will use openbox as its WM.

Championship call

May 17, 2010
Bradley's reputation as a national forensic powerhouse, coupled with its strong tradition of men's basketball and a new sports communication major, has produced a winning combination for the University.
Bradley was the official sponsor of the sports play-by-play competition at last week's high school National Individual Events Tournament of Champions in Fullerton, Calif. The sponsorship allowed Bradley to promote its sports communication major and attract future forensic students.
High school students who competed in the sports broadcasting event were judged on their ability to call a Bradley men's basketball game. Dr. Jeffrey Huberman, dean of the Slane College of Communications and Fine Arts, presented the Bradley trophy to the winner and also made a presentation about Bradley's sports communication major.
"It was a great event and a great recruiting opportunity," Huberman said.
The event represents the brainchild of Huberman and Bradley alumnus Sal Tinajero, a national award-winning high school teacher and championship speech coach in Fullerton, Calif. Tinajero returned to Bradley in fall 2008 to receive an Outstanding Young Graduate award.
He met with President Joanne Glasser and Huberman to talk about the sports communication program and the speech team. Through that initial discussion, and with the help of communications professor and department chair Dr. Paul Gullifor, Bradley speech coach Dan Smith and Bradley basketball play-by-play announcer Dave Snell, the high school sports play-by-play event was created.
Contestants watch a sporting event, usually an excerpt of a Bradley basketball game, and call the game as if they were doing a radio broadcast. Judges watch the same broadcast and rate students based on their organization, accuracy and delivery. Prior to viewing the event, contestants are given basic information about players, players' numbers and statistics.
"I think they find out it's not nearly as easy as it looks," Gullifor said. "When you listen to it on the radio or TV, you think, 'I could do that.' But it's very difficult and very challenging."
Tinajero took the idea back to California, where it met with great reception, and Bradley incorporated the event into its George Armstrong Heart of Illinois Invitational for high school students. Now it's an official event in the national tournament.
"It not only turned into a great competitive event, but also a very popular tournament event in a very short time," Huberman said.
The event highlights Bradley's sports communication major, which was introduced in fall 2009. The program draws on Bradley's tradition of excellence in NCAA athletics and in the sports broadcasting field, having produced such legendary announcers as Jack Brickhouse, Chick Hearn, Andy Masur, Ralph Lawler, Dave Snell and Charley Steiner, among others. Enrollment in the program continues to grow, Huberman said, and will increase further with Bradley's sponsorship of the national speech event.
"There is a direct connection between our sports communication program, our speech team, Sal Tinajero and the fact that our enrollment from the West Coast, especially California, is way up for next year," he said.
The event helps students associate Bradley with a top-quality forensic team and sports communication program, Gullifor said.
"You get students to think in terms of Bradley and sports communication together," he said. "I think it sends a signal to everyone in high school speech out there that Bradley is very serious about speech as a competition and very serious about recruiting good students and good students from different places across the country."

Brockton-based hospital to receive the Outstanding Achievement Award from The Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons
BROCKTON – Good Samaritan Medical Center has received a national award for providing quality care to cancer patients through its treatment programs.
The hospital, part of the Steward Health Care System, is among 74 cancer care facilities nationwide to receive the Outstanding Achievement Award from The Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons.
Good Samaritan is the only Massachusetts facility to be recognized among the 2013 award recipients, officials said. Award criteria were based on qualitative and quantitative surveys conducted last year.
Good Samaritan President John A. Jurczyk said in a statement Monday that the hospital "works tirelessly to ensure that the services we offer embrace the latest technologies and treatments."
"We could not be happier to receive this honor once again as it demonstrates our commitment to compete on a national level to bring the best in cancer treatment and care to the community we serve," Jurczyk said.
The Good Samaritan Comprehensive Cancer Program gives patients access to board-certified medical and radiation oncologists, as well as radiologists, surgeons, pathologists, nurses, therapists, dietitians, social workers, and other professional support staff dedicated to treating cancer patients.
Good Samaritan's cancer-care program is among 74 award-winning programs that "represent the best of the best" when it comes to cancer care, Dr. Daniel P. McKellar, chairman of the The Commission on Cancer, said in a statement.
"Each of these facilities is not just meeting nationally recognized standards for the delivery of quality cancer care, they are exceeding them," McKellar said.
Good Samaritan's cancer program was evaluated on 34 program standards, including cancer committee leadership, cancer data management, cancer conferences, clinical services and quality improvement.

Faculty-student research marks new era for UH Hilo Physics & Astronomy
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Tuesday, June 1, 2010
Contact: Alyson Kakugawa-Leong (808) 974-7642
For Immediate Release
A new chapter in the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo Physics & Astronomy Department is playing out on the pages of the prestigious Astronomy and Astrophysics Journal.
The scientific periodical recently accepted a paper on star dating entitled, "New rotation periods in the open cluster NGC 1039 (M 34), and a deviation of its gyrochronology age," authored by Assistant Astronomy Professor Dr. David James and co-authored by sophomore astronomy major Briana Hurley. While faculty-student research is nothing new, this joint endeavor takes on special significance because it marks an important milestone in an effort to re-make the way Physics & Astronomy is taught at the University.
"Our goal is to transform the Physics & Astronomy Department from the traditional lecture-based community college model to a research-based, professional, modern academic teaching and research group," explained James."Think of it as vocational training in physics and astronomy."
The research underpinning the journal paper was part of an Astronomy 432 senior thesis that employed data from the ESPaDOns spectrograph, installed on the 3.6m Canada-France-Hawaiʻi telescope to study a 200-million-year-old cluster of stars called Messier 34.
Their findings not only confirmed the age of the stars, but also found that stars comprising the entire cluster were aging at the same rate and therefore established a baseline for future star dating, just as fossils help geologists place a time-stamp on rock formations. For Hurley, the project was a dream-come-true and the kind of opportunity she envisioned five years ago while visiting UH Hilo as a Florida high school sophomore.
"This was a big opportunity to get some practical research experience," Hurley said. "I'd eventually like to pursue a doctorate in astronomy and getting published is going to help me take that next step."
James said Hurley's genuine interest and academic background convinced him to take the unusual step of accepting an underclassman for a senior thesis. Although the results validated his instincts, her accomplishment remains a significant achievement for someone so early in their career.
"This is quite a coup for Briana to get her first scientific paper published," James said. "And to do it as an undergraduate makes it even more special."
But it is unlikely to be the last. The duo is already working on a follow-up paper entitled "Lithium Dispersion in the Pleiades or Seven Sisters." Their research goal is to determine how the Lithium content found in stars like the Sun is destroyed, and at what rate, so that the ages of stars can be more accurately determined.
The new research-based teaching method is now poised to accelerate with the addition of the Physics & Astronomy Department's new 36-inch Hōkū Ke`a telescope for which James serves as director. The instrument, recently installed atop Mauna Kea at the site of the retired UH 24-inch telescope, should be ready this fall for teaching and research-based astronomy courses.
"Hōkū Ke`a will not only be used to teach astronomy, but between 5-10 research interns per academic year will be able to employ the telescope to conduct publishable-quality research projects with me, and hopefully other faculty members," James said. "Students will have an almost unique opportunity to obtain unrestricted access to a professional grade, research telescope located at arguably the world's premier observing site."
Hurley said it is exciting to be one of the first students to take part in the new, emerging teaching model.
"I think the telescope and the opportunities it presents show how committed UH Hilo is to being at the forefront of student research in this field," Hurley said. "This is a great example of how dedicated our professors are to their students."
