The Dolphins made it rain, Blaine played the blame game and the rest of the NFL can only hope the Seahawks drop five again ...
Yep, the last few weeks of the pro football news cycle need to be HGH tested. Beyond the Miami Dolphins showering money on Mike Wallace and crew, Blaine Gabbert's reputation among assistant coaches approaching his level of play and the 12th Man jumping up and down over good fortune (Cliff Avril, Percy Harvin and the Seahawks generally not sucking), we've experienced tons of fun in and around the league.
No, Albert Haynesworth still hasn't been signed. Jermon Bushrod has, though. Greg Jennings, too. We had a big trade, an NFC East defense was completely remade, and Paul Kruger can afford a maid.
This has been an exciting time of year -- if not a confusing one -- since free agency started two decades back. Thus, it's an appropriate time to take a gander at how all the member clubs stack up, based on how they finished the 2012 season, free agency and upside. Per the usual, hit us up with your relevant thoughts: @Harrison_NFL is the dropbox.
Now, let the dissension commence ...
NOTE: The following pecking order reflects changes from the first official Power Rankings of the 2013 season, published right after Super Bowl XLVII. Click here to review that edition.
The Baltimore Ravens understandably didn't want to pay Anquan Boldin (read below), but that doesn't mean adding him wasn't a master stroke by the San Francisco 49ers, who already have an incredibly strong nucleus of young talent. Boldin instantly becomes the most reliable receiver on the team and could be a huge help to Michael Crabtree. (The latter is far closer to Boldin in terms of ability than Randy Moss.)
Remember in "Office Space" when Michael Bolton went "American History X" on the fax machine? Somebody was doing that Friday, methinks. Let's table that -- and the Wes Welker discussion -- for now. How about the other free agency moves? Coordinator Jack Del Rio's defense needed an interior presence, so the club re-signed the steady Kevin Vickerson and acquired one of Del Rio's former players in Terrance Knighton. (Some hack predicted those moves.) Franchising Ryan Clady made some sense. And not only does acquiring Louis Vasquez help Denver run the football, it depletes the division rival San Diego Chargers.
Losing Wes Welker is no small deal, but is it cool if we say it's no big deal? Yeah, Tom Brady was ticked. He got all fired up back in 2006 over Deion Branch, too. Granted, Welker > Branch. Not to worry: Danny Amendola can catch none-yard outs, too. Moreover, the reality is that the New England Patriots had yet to win it all with Welker, and they got younger with the addition of Amendola. All in all, this was not a bad move by New England. As a side note, the cold business approach has hurt this organization in small ways over the years. We'll reserve judgment on Welkergate until at least Week 12.
Should we just anoint the Seattle Seahawks contenders for the next three years? An already strong 11-5 team has absolutely killed it in free agency. Forget the Percy Harvin trade. First off, obtaining a solid pro like Cliff Avril provides a presence on the edge. Second, Michael Bennett can play. What was an effective front seven in 2012 is going to be a force in 2013. Expect general manager John Schneider to hit linebacker in the NFL draft (again).
Did Baltimore radio the other day, and I had no reservations telling the fandom there that I like the way GM Ozzie Newsome is handling business. Quite frankly, the Baltimore Ravens didn't need to overpay for Dannell Ellerbe or keep an aging Anquan Boldin at his $6 million price tag. Ravens fans seem to think I hate their team, but truth be told, this organization has some of the best management in the business. That said, Newsome needs to bring back safety Ed Reed. The locker room is now leadership-deficient. The defending champs lost Ray Lewis, Matt Birk and Boldin. Every successful club could use an elder statesman who, by the way, also starts.
The Atlanta Falcons swapped out one RB with allegedly bald tires for another with allegedly bald tires. Sure, the money is different, but what can Steven Jackson give this team? Soft hands. Jackson once caught 90 passes and could be an effective safety valve for Matt Ryan. Now, the pass rush still represents a glaring hole, especially with an open door at corner (i.e., Brent Grimes' situation remains fluid). The guess? Atlanta signs a veteran corner and hits pass rush in the 2013 NFL Draft. Osi Umenyiora still feels right in Atlanta, but who knows at this point?
Did you hear about the Green Bay Packer who left town via free agency? Fans are pretty worried about it. Yep, Erik Walden is going to be a huge loss.
Rumor out of Houston is that Ed Reed really wanted riding the bull at Gilley's to be part of the recruiting trip. Too bad the place closed down. Glover Quin is out, and adding Reed certainly would give defensive coordinator Wade Phillips a presence in the secondary. More glaring, however, is the lack of a playmaker at WR2. While Andre Johnson wants Chad Johnson, I'd be shocked if the Texans didn't hit this spot in next month's draft.
The Cincinnati Bengals' front office spends its money with the ease of a Tommy Lee Jones belly laugh. Alright, alright: In fairness, Cincy has some contracts that will need to be addressed in the next year, as well as a current free agent in Andre Smith who can (and likely will) be re-signed. Marvin Lewis and Co. look to build through the draft, something they've done a great job of in recent years.
As expected, the Washington Redskins didn't make much noise in free agency. The reality is that this franchise didn't have much in the way of cap room. Still, I like the signing of Jeremy Trueblood, which could end up being a minor steal. Bottom line: The 'Skins will benefit if Trueblood benefits from a change of scenery. A third-down, change-of-pace, Sproles-esque back would be cool, too.
Death by a thousand paper cuts? The New York Giants are hemorrhaging players, or so it seems. Ahmad Bradshaw ... gone. Osi Umenyiora ... gone. Kenny Phillips ... ditto. Chris Canty ... ditto ditto. Yet, can you say Big Blue is really worse? GM Jerry Reese added some small pieces, with dollars earmarked for guard Kevin Boothe and/or receiver Victor Cruz.
You have to like what the Chicago Bears have done in free agency. Left tackle? Check. Tight end? Check. Franchising the best player set to hit the market? Check. Yes, taking care of Henry Melton -- while also signing Jermon Bushrod and Martellus Bennett -- made sense. Now the difficult part: Figuring out how fiscally responsible to be with Israel Idonije, Lance Louis and, of course, Brian Urlacher.
Let's allow some time for Indianapolis Colts fans to heal following the loss of Moise Fokou and Drew Stanton to free agency .................................................................................................... OK, that was sufficient. The Colts hit the three main spots I thought they would in free agency, but, boy, this club could use a pass rusher.
The Minnesota Vikings are climbing, with the addition of Greg Jennings and subtraction of Percy Harvin. While many fans were more than "Pro Harvin," the lingering fact here is that having a malcontent on your ballclub can do more harm than good. He played hard -- no question -- but here's another fact to ponder: The Vikings went 5-4 with Harvin in 2012 ... and 5-2 without him. Would love to hear from Vikes fans on this deal ( @Harrison_NFL). Minnesota will search for his replacement in the draft.
In deference to Power Rankings readers, the New Orleans Saints get moved down more than a smidge. The last time we did this exercise, New Orleans was the one team that most folks agreed was too high, based on a porous defense. Salary-cap issues caused the team to lose a decent left tackle in Jermon Bushrod, too. Saints drop.
Jerry Jones hasn't spent much coin this offseason, other than franchising the on-again, off-again outside linebacker known as Anthony Spencer. The team did re-sign center Phil Costa. I'll say this: He snaps better than Andre Gurode. So that's good.
Interesting offseason in Pittsburgh, where several longtime Steelers have departed. Farewell, James Harrison, Willie Colon, Mike Wallace, Rashard Mendenhall and Casey Hampton. Much of what this club is capable of depends on retaining restricted free agent Emmanuel Sanders. Another vital issue: How much juice is there to the Elvis Dumervil rumors? The Steelers should seriously consider acquiring the pass rusher, with an ancillary reason being to prohibit the rival Ravens from beating them to the punch. Dumervil's 11 sacks are hard to come by on the market. Not to mention, he compiled 29.5 knockdowns and hurries combined.
With all the high-priced free agents the Dolphins have been signing, Bravo should do a "Real Girlfriends of Miami." Just saying.
The St. Louis Rams finally landed their left tackle in Jake Long. Rejoice, Rams faithful, as the days of Alex Barron, Jason Smith and Rodger Saffold (well, at least at left tackle) are over.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers gained a solid player in Dashon Goldson but lost another in Michael Bennett. And so goes the free agency era. As opposed to getting into a bidding war for Bennett, GM Mark Dominik must have thought it was time to see what the two kids on the edges can do. By "kids" we mean Da'Quan Bowers and Adrian Clayborn. In two seasons, they've combined for 12 total sacks, even while partially limited by injuries. Time to play ball.
The Carolina Panthers take a bit of a dip, but let's shoot this thing straight: This team is hamstrung by the cap. The front office did what it had to do, getting a stopgap at corner in Drayton Florence. But as it sits right now, the franchise is up against it, and presumably is eyeing the draft more than a lot of teams in different fiscal territory. Bear in mind, though, that Carolina did win five of its last six games in 2012.
It's good the Cleveland Browns didn't overspend for Dannell Ellerbe, but paying $40 million for Paul Kruger isn't exactly analogous to dipping the proverbial toe in the water. The former Ravens pass rusher got $20 million guaranteed despite having all of 15.5 career sacks to his name. In fairness, finding guys who can collapse the pocket is integral to winning these days. And when you consider that Pierre Garcon received $20.5 million guaranteed last offseason -- despite the abundance of wideouts, as compared to the current dearth of pass rushers -- perhaps this contract ultimately brings surprising value. Time will tell.
While some minor free-agent additions are on the books already, and guard
Louis Vasquez is gone, the open road in front of this
San Diego Chargers franchise is marked by two related checkpoints:
1) What can new head coach Mike McCoy get out of the woefully inconsistent offense?
2) How effective can Philip Rivers be without major talent at the skill positions?
Those skill positions might not improve greatly, either, as the Chargers likely will hit offensive line in the first round of the draft. Rivers must refrain from a common pitfall: trying to do too much.
Glad the competition committee is looking to change the "Jim Schwartz rule." That really helps a Detroit Lions team that should've beaten the Texans on Turkey Day and was incapable of stopping the bleeding, losing out after the Thanksgiving debacle. Reggie Bush's arrival could help this offense more than people might think. Consider how much the Lions are in love with the passing game and the fact that Bush caught 161 balls his first two seasons in New Orleans.
The Philadelphia Eagles applied several minor brush strokes through the free-agent marketplace, producing a complete turnover on defense. Perhaps the most important signing was the acquisition of Isaac Sopoaga, who will man the middle in the new 3-4 scheme under Chip Kelly. Put another way, there was no way Antonio Dixon was going to anchor the nose. The whole unit has been remade, with seven new starters on the defensive side of the ball.
The New York Jets have done a wee bit of damage in free agency, but one wonders what interest -- if any -- the club had in former Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck before the veteran signed with the Colts. I heard zilch, but the thought here is that the Jets should've barked up that tree two years ago. Well, that ship has sailed, but the organization must do something to solidify the quarterback position. David Garrard could be the answer -- no sarcasm intended. Mark Sanchez was absolutely brutal for the lion's share of 2012.
Drew Stanton at quarterback, Rashard Mendenhall at running back and another season of A.W. (after Warner). New head coach Bruce Arians will be working with folks he's familiar with, but these newly arrived "starters" must give Cardinals fans a bit of pause. If league analysts thought Mendenhall did too much dancing behind the line in Pittsburgh, wait until they see him dilly-dallying behind his new line in Arizona. In other news, the once-coveted Kevin Kolb was released. Now you know why former GM Rod Graves didn't want to pay Kolb $7 million in bonus money last offseason. The writing has been on the wall for a good while on that deal.
It seems some media outlets feel newly acquired QB Ryan Fitzpatrick won't push Jake Locker for the starting job in Titansville. Seriously? What is it, exactly, about Locker's play over two seasons that has inspired this kind of presumptuousness? Fitzpatrick has completed over 60 percent of his throws and tossed 48 touchdown passes over the last two seasons. He might be no great shakes, but those numbers aren't exactly slummin' it. Locker is currently sitting with a career completion percentage of 55.5.
There are many Buffalo Bills fans who watch the college game and inherently don't want the team to touch Matt Barkley with a 10-foot pole. How does a five-foot pole sound? What if Geno Smith is still available when the Bills' pick comes up? Not sure I want him, either.
Heard Andy Reid on the radio the other day discussing Alex Smith's intangibles, his success in terms of wins and losses, and his statistical merits as a passer (passer rating). Uhh ... what? Nothing against Reid or the Kansas City Chiefs (we'd like to see them turn this thing around), but Smith has been anything but impressive in terms of the overall body of his work. His record is 38-36-1 and his career passer rating is 79.1. Yes, he had multiple offensive coordinators over his first six NFL seasons. He's also benefitted from playing on a team that's gone 24-7-1 over the past two seasons.
Blaine Gabbert is 5-19 with a 70.2 passer rating in two years. Word is, he blames calculators. In other news, mock drafts across America have a left tackle (mostly Central Michigan's Eric Fisher) as the Jaguars' selection at second overall. What a dicey pick. Jacksonville presumably will have its choice of the best quarterback and pass rusher in the draft. Knock it out of the park, David Caldwell.
Everybody needs to calm down. The Oakland Raiders are not in that bad of shape. They just need upgrades at wideout, tight end, offensive line, defensive line, linebacker, corner ... and perhaps quarterback. But Oakland makes up for it by having more than $30 million in "dead money" counting against the cap.

12th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards Winner: Fighting Game of the Year
Duke it out with your favorite Nintendo characters in Super Smash Bros. for the Wii.
Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Series makes a special appearance in this title for the Wii game system. The new Smash Bros. will include a number of new playable characters such as Meta Knight from the Kirby games, Pit from Kid Icarus, Zero Suit Samus (i.e. Samus without her armour) from Metroid: Zero Mission, Wario and, most unexpectedly, Solid Snake from Metal Gear and Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega's loveable blue blur! The Nintendogs also make an appearance, although only as an item for obscuring the screen, and each character now seems to have some gigantic new special attacks that take up the whole screen. Not only will the game have an online mode but it is the only major Nintendo title to use the "shell" controller by default rather than the Wii remote.
How to progress through the game: For multiplayer games, players pick characters, set rules and locations for where they want to play and then duke it out. In Solo Mode, characters play through a long, side-scrolling adventure, beating up enemies along the way as they watch short cinematics starring their favorite characters.
Characters: Mario, Samus, Bowser, Donkey Kong®, Solid Snake, Meta Knight, Kirby, Pikachu®, Zero Suit Samus, Link, Zelda, Pit and Wario, to name just a few. Anyone and anything from a Nintendo universe could appear in this game in one form or another.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features: Anything from a Nintendo game could conceivably be in this game, whether it's a musical score, an obscure item or a character that shows up to help the fighters. Super Smash Bros.Brawl is eminently customizable, so players can choose the frequency of items appearing, adjust musical scores and basically play the game however they'd like. Items range from baseball bats to proximity mines to Poké Balls to Assist Trophies, which spawn characters like Hammer Bros. and Sim City's Dr. Wright to attack others.
Rated 9.5 out of 10 by Game Informer.

Got some extra cash? The family chosen by Tribune Co. to buy the Cubs in a $900 million deal is seeking investors willing to pay $25 million for a preferred share of the team.
Chicago investment banker Tom Ricketts is seeking investors in an effort to raise at least $100 million toward the team's purchase price, according to the Associated Press.
Ricketts is founder and chief executive of InCapital LLC and his billionaire family founded the Omaha, Neb.-based, TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. Tribune Co. selected the family's bid Jan. 22 for exclusive negotiations for the Cubs. The sale would include Wrigley Field and a 25 percent interest in a regional sports network.
Any sale must be approved by baseball owners.
Investors being sought by Ricketts would hold a preferred share in the team and sit on an advisory board, but would not make any management decisions, according to the person familiar with the deal.
Now more than a century removed from their last World Series title, the Cubs were purchased by Tribune Co. from Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. for $20.5 million in June 1981. Tribune Co. put the team on the market on Opening Day 2007, when real estate mogul Sam Zell agreed to buy the media conglomerate.
Tribune filed for bankruptcy in December. The company — owner of the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Baltimore Sun and other dailies — is selling off assets as it seeks to raise cash to deal with debt.

As the clouds were closing in on
him, Jack looked down the steep
delivity bf the beanstalk for one
last look at his mother. Yes,
there she was, close to the foot of
the tremendous ladder, waving her
handkerchief and smiling bravely.
He choked down a sigh of intense
My mother is the best rooting

Sudden moisture On his brow
caused him to start, and raising
his eyes he realized he was buck-ing
heavy cloud formations. Un-expected
air pockets made his
ascension doubly hard, and he
found that breathing became more
and more difficult.
The loneliness of the sky almost
broke his morale, but as he Was
about ready to give up and feel the
treacherous way down, he heard
in his soul a snatch of song his
mother often hummed...Jack puck-ered
his lips and whistled the
whole tune. Good old mother! . .
She was counting on him! She
was pulling for him. Mustn't let
her down.
His lops grew firm with resolve,
and his courage became much
strengthened by the knowledge the
song brought him, and once again
he fought on.
Soon he realized he had reached
the top of his climb. The clouds
had flattened out and he stepped
cautiously upon them. They were
solid and firm and with an ex-hausted
sigh Jack slumped to a
heap on the heaven's floor. He
wanted never to get up, his lungs
hurt so, and the inertia of over
strain bade him give up. He al-most
gave in but suddenly he

then grinned sheepishly... No one
was around... The shouting had
been the inner voice of memory,
of mother cheering him on last

situation? With sudden return of
strength he chuckled, leapt to his
feet and bounded forward.
The castle was easily accessible,
and Jack carefully stepped in.
The giant's wife was a neat, com-fortable
woman, but the necessity
of hiding, and the giant's husky
roar of "blood" curdled the whey
in Jack's bones and only the moth-er's
song from within gave him
courage to finally win through.
When he safely eluded the giant,
Jack, with the Golden Goose tucked
under his arm, breathlessly des-cended
the beanstalk, and des..
troyed the ladder. Never could
he climb this stalk again! But
what matter—he had won because
of a song, a shout of encourage-ment.
This game was over, but
the victory had been won... Be-cause
he had been willing to act,
and because mother had backed
him steadfastly and true... His
faith in her loyalty and her trust
in his capability had been the equa-tion
for success.

Jack might be any school and
his mother any loyal student body,
but if Jack were Bethel, would his
victories be because of any en-couragement
on the part of his
mother? You and you and you,
each and all of us behind Bethel
would enable our teams to conquer,
to overcome, and bring the "gol-den

Only one life
Twill soon be past,
Only what's done for Christ
Will last.
If fame and popularity had satis-fied,
in a few years the world
would have forgotten the laurels
won by Britain's great cricket
player C. T. Studd. But God calls
his henchmen from all activities
and walks of life and this young
athlete left his field of acclaim and
praise to become a pioneer and
missionary of the gospel. Thou-sands
are praising God today be-cause
of this missionary's unceas-ing
efforts in bringing the gospel to
those ignorant of the way of life.
During his life time he faithfully
and whole-heartedly labored on
three continents. First in China
and then in India and finally the
Holy Spirit led him to Africa.
He is portrayed as a man of real
faith in God. His every action im-pelled
by it. Often he was urged
not to go to some field by his
friends, but, because he believed
that God had called him, he went
in faith. There were times when
he or his wife had become sick,
and it seemed that the possibilities
of going on in their missionary
work had faded into the dim past.
But this merely called forth an
exercise of their faith in God, who
healed them and gave them
strength to continue.

"They that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength, they
shall mount up with wings as
eagles." Isaiah 40:31.
An incident is told of an eagle
who being raised in captivity
thought it could fly when being
loosed from a cage in a journey
home from Iceland. It jumped from
the gunwhale, thinking it could
soar into the air. Instead it fell
into the ocean.
God has given to us wings of
prayer and faith. How oft we
think we can fly when we do not
use them. A christian environment,
good and healthful as it may be,
will not add strength necessarily
and cause us to soar to high spirit-ual
realms. It is only as we first
dwell in the secret place of the
Most High will such heights be
Swinburne laments over the
fact that the spirit of Jesus came
like a blight over the joyous mind
of Greece and chased laughter and
music out of the world when he
"Thou hast conquered, 0 Pale
The world has grown grey with
Thy breath;
We have drunk of the things
And fed on the fulness of death".
Thank God, to one who has
really come to know the Galileen,
this is not true. All the joys of
eternal bliss that Heaven can be-stow
here on earth are his when
he earnestly waits on the Lord for
a blessing.
Without a Song
The day would never be as bright,
Our heavy burdens never light,
And life would be a useless fight
Without a song.
The daily round of tasks to do,
The daily trails to go through,
Would be too much for me and you
Without a song.
Oh, life would not appeal to me,
And God would seem less real
to me;
He did not mean that we should be
Without a song.
He gave His own beloved Son,
The perfect, pure, and sinless One,
And in the heart of everyone
He put a song.
A song that conquered dark defeat,
A song our lips with joy repeat
No life would ever be complete
Without that song.

General Regulation No. 11: "Stu-dents
are requested not to borrow
articles from one another without
the permission of the owner", of
course, the girls never disobey the
rules, but, just as talk gets around
so clothes seem to here at dorm.
Requests have been submitted by
a number of long-suffering "room-mutts"
that the borrowers at least
acknowledge in some, small way
the rightful ownership of the artic-les,
especially upon the receipt of
such flattering compliments as the
opposite sex is occasionally capable
of bestowing.
Was it just our imagination, or
did the boys display sad, regretful
countenances on the morning after
their first "womanless" meal? At
any rate, they will no doubt miss
us terribly! We wonder if Dana
has "let loose a little bit" yet,

After two weeks of competition,
the intra-mural touch football
teams are still battling. In the
past two weeks there have been
a great many thrilling games, and
each team is fighting vigor-ously
to gain the top position.
At the present time, there are six
different teams battling against
each other with a total of fifty-four
players participating. In the Mon-day
and Wednesday gym, during
the fourth period, things still seem
to be a little lop-sided. At this
time Al Walker's team, the Tro-jans,
have a lead of six games to
nothing. Melvin Wyma, captain of
the Wolverine team ,is still hoping
and cheering his team on.
During the sixth period, also on
Monday and Wednesday, there is
another pair of freshman teams,
which are fighting back and
forth difiantly. There is no one-sideness
between these two teams,
because at the present time the
Gophers are trailing the Huskies
by a score of three games to four.
Bob Bergerud, captain of the Go-phers,
and Bernie Hammerbeck,
captain of the Huskies, are both
doing fine work as captains. They
both have really been putting spirit
and action into their team-mates
and the games have been very
On Tuesday and Thursday during
the sixth hour, the sophomores are
still battling it out. The score
between the two teams is three to
two in favor of the Jackrabbits.
On September 30, these two held a
twelve to twelve deadlock, so on
October 2, they played, with two
games at stake. With a few se-conds
to go, Bob Norstrom caught
a sizzling pass on the twenty yard
line and ran for a touchdown that
gave the Badgers a eighteen to
twelve victory.
It has not yet been decided when
the touch football schedule will be
completed but it should be within
a few weeks. The champion team
of each division will then compete
to decide the all-school champions.
The result of the games so far and

WASHINGTON — An Aug. 23, 2008, drug bust along the Northern California coast prompted Supreme Court scrutiny Tuesday into the proper use of anonymous tips.
WASHINGTON — An Aug. 23, 2008, drug bust along the Northern California coast prompted Supreme Court scrutiny Tuesday into the proper use of anonymous tips.
Alerted by a call about a reckless driver, California Highway Patrol officers stopped a silver Ford F-150 pickup on Highway 1 in Mendocino County that August afternoon. They found a driver, a passenger and, eventually, four odoriferous bags stuffed with 30 pounds of marijuana.
The otherwise routine arrest has since triggered a national controversy over whether the anonymous tip was sufficient evidence to justify stopping and searching the truck. During an hourlong oral argument Tuesday afternoon, Supreme Court justices sounded ambivalent about the answer. On the one hand, conservatives and liberals alike suggested public safety stops make sense on roads where drivers have necessarily given up some privacy.
"In a context where we have approved sobriety checkpoints, why should we get bent out of shape over this?" asked Justice Elena Kagan, an Obama administration appointee.
Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. and Justice Antonin Scalia, both Republican administration appointees, added escalating examples that included tips about small explosives, kidnapped children and an atomic bomb aimed at the heart of Los Angeles, all in an effort to see where legal lines might be drawn.
"You get an 'A' for consistency," Justice Anthony Kennedy told Berkeley, Calif.-based defense attorney Paul R. Kleven, who was resisting admitting exceptions to a rule against relying on an anonymous and uncorroborated source, but "I'm not so sure about common sense."
Kleven insisted that "officers acting on anonymous tips must corroborate the tips' assertion of illegal conduct, as well as the identifying details, before making a stop, whether that tip involves erratic driving, illegal gun possession or any other allegation of misconduct."
But in a sign of the case's complexity, some of the same justices who sounded sympathetic to police searches in order to protect the public raised equally pointed questions about limiting such searches. Roberts repeatedly raised the possibility of malicious tipsters spreading false information, while several wondered how serious a tip needs to be before being acted upon.
"What if the call is … he didn't have his seat belt on?" Roberts asked.
"What about cutting me off too quickly?" Scalia asked later. "Cuts right in front of me. Really ticks me off."
Jeffrey M.K. Laurence, California's supervising deputy attorney general, stressed that "the threat to public safety" justifies stopping and searching a car for which a tip has been received, adding that "the public knows what they see when they make these calls." Laurence further declared that "we have to take the seriousness of the offense into account" in making any decision.
Underscoring the high level of interest, Florida led 31 other states in a legal brief supporting California law enforcement officials, while the Obama administration also joined in on California's behalf.
"They serve a critical government interest in removing drunk drivers from the road," said Rachel P. Kovner, assistant to the solicitor general.
Emergency dispatchers in the August 2008 incident did obtain specific information, including the license plate number, concerning the southbound truck that reportedly ran the anonymous tipster off the road. The responding California Highway Patrol officers, though, did not see any sign of erratic driving before they pulled over driver Lorenzo Prado Navarette and his brother, Jose Prado Navarette, several miles from the town of Fort Bragg.
Anonymous tips have caused problems in past Supreme Court cases.
In a 2000 case out of Florida, justices unanimously ruled Miami-Dade Police Department officers were wrong to search a teenager at a bus stop based solely on an anonymous tip that he was carrying a gun. Justices noted in the Florida case that police could not confirm the informant's reliability.
Justice Clarence Thomas, as is his custom, was the only of the nine justices not to speak or ask questions during the oral argument. A decision is expected by the end of June.

Back in September I mentioned that I had started a new crochet project. At the time, it looked like this:
And then like this:
And now it looks like this:
ZOMG, you guys. This thing is taking me FOR.EV.ER. But I seriously love it.
I made the rookie mistake of not following the pattern. Guys: when she says chain 250, chain 250. Don't think "man, this doesn't look very long - I'll just add a few chains" and end up with 271 chains and rows that never fucking end. I would probably be done with this thing by now if it weren't for those extra 21 chains that make this afghan not an afghan anymore. Seriously, this thing fits either way across my king-sized bed. And the longer you make one side, the longer you have to make the other in order for it to be a proportionate rectangle, so, here I am. In it for the long haul.
The pattern is called "Vintage Stripe", and you can find it just by googling those two words. The version I went off of is here though. While that lady was using this pattern as a stash buster, I decided to pick out all new yarn (much of the fun of crocheting is in purchasing the yarn) in 7 colors. And you *can* do this afghan in completely random color patterns, but I chose to do white every 5th row. There's no other real color pattern to it than that, although I keep a running tally of how many rows I've done in each color so that I don't go too long without one.
Anyway, I'm sure so many of you couldn't give a flying flick about my crochet project. But you get this update anyway. Because I miss you, and I love it, and, well, just because.

text: Gerrans' win is the first for an Australian in the Tour since Cadel Evans won the fourth stage in 2011 [AFP]Two days after getting embarrassing exposure at the Tour de France when their bus caused mayhem, Australian team Orica-GreenEdge were in the limelight for a good reason when Simon Gerrans won the third stage with a well-timed sprint on Monday. Australian Gerrans beat pre-stage favourite Peter Sagan of Slovakia and Spain's Jose Joaquin Rojas at the end of a 145.5-km, hilly trek from Ajaccio through impressive scenery along the Corsican west coast. Gerrans's win, his second in the Tour after he took the 15th stage in 2008 and his team's first, came two days after his team bus got stuck under the finish line's overhead banner minutes before the fast-approaching peloton reached the end of the first stage. "It was definitely a bizarre day (on Saturday). Nobody in the team, or in the world, expected it. Afterwards we saw the footage of the bus stuck at the finish line. You really can do nothing but laugh at the situation," Gerrans told a news conference. "(Our driver) did a fantastic job, we are proud of him. He was embarrassed so we felt quite sorry for him." Belgian Jan Bakelants retained the overall leader's yellow jersey when he finished in the leading bunch after his RadioShack-Leopard team controlled the pace in the final part of the stage. Strong finish "This year I was targeting the first part of the Tour de France. I put all my faith in Daryl (Impey), he's one of the best leadout men. I was looking after him yesterday, he was looking after me today," said Gerrans, who won the Milan-San Remo classic last year. "He delivered me inside 200 metres from the line. I really wasn't sure who won. I'm happy I finished it off." Chris Froome's Sky team mate Geraint Thomas, riding with a small fracture in his pelvis, struggled all day near the end of the pack but finished inside the time limit, 9:15 off the pace. The second-category climb to the Col de Marsolino, 15 kms from the finish, was too much for the sprint specialists, including German Marcel Kittel who lost his green jersey for the points classification to Sagan. Australian Simon Clarke capped a remarkable day for Orica-GreenEdge when he was voted the most aggressive rider of the stage after spending most of his time in the day's breakaway. It was a quiet day for the big guns, who seemed happy to stay calm ahead of Tuesday's fourth stage, a 25-km team time trial in the streets of Nice that should produce the first gaps between the pre-race favourites. "To be honest, I expected a much more nerve-wracking stage today because of the narrow and tricky roads but the peloton was in total control and our guys were in the front of the pack tosupport Alberto (Contador)," said Fabrizio Guidi, sports director at Contador's Team Saxo-Tinkoff. "Now, it's time for the team time trial and we'll give full gas on the course. We know the riders are fit, they're extremely motivated to do well but how far that's going to take us, only time will tell." SOURCE: Reuters Sport Cycling France Slovakia Spain

Grant Family Farms in Wellington will hold farm dinners all summer long
The farm-to-table movement has become almost mainstream in Denver and Boulder, and it finds outposts, too, where most of the corn is grown and the pigs are raised — that is, in the state's rural rural patches.
Grant Family Farms, an organic megafarm (megafarm by Colorado organic standards, that is) in Wellington, has one of the more ambitious farm-to-table programs, with a trio of dinners at the farm this summer that include tours, live music, and much grazing and quaffing.
For the first dinner, Chef Kevin Grossi from Jax Fish House (outposts in Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins), will be the brains behind the menu and the genius at the saute pan.
Ticket prices range between $75 and $85, and in years past the dinners have been so popular that Grant Family Farms – the state's largest Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm – managed to secure reduced room rates at Embassy Suites of Loveland.
The dates: July 28, August 25 and Sept. 22.

SANTA ANA – The trial of a former Huntington Beach police officer accused of sexually and physically abusing his ex-wife and former girlfriend ended abruptly Tuesday with most of the charges dismissed.
James Roberts, 36, was charged with 20 felony counts, including rape, sodomy by force, criminal threats, false imprisonment and aggravated assault. If convicted, he faced life in prison with the possibility of parole.
Instead, he pleaded guilty before Orange County Superior Court Judge Patrick Donahue to felony vandalism and one count of misdemeanor domestic battery with corporal injury, which together carry a maximum term of four years in prison. Donahue, who had let the jury go home early Tuesday afternoon so the lawyers could work out an agreement, suspended the prison term, ordering Roberts to serve five years of probation and meet conditions that include completion of a 52-week batterers-treatment program.
The plea agreement between the prosecutor and the defense came after several days of testimony, including that of Roberts' former wife, who had been on the stand about a day and a half.
County Deputy District Attorney John Christl told Donahue that he could not prove the remaining counts beyond a reasonable doubt.
"(After a) review of the evidence and the testimony elicited in the course of the trial, the prosecution feels we have proof problems, and we are unable to proceed," Christl said afterward.
As he left the courthouse with Roberts, defense attorney John Barnett said the resolution reached was fair "after all the evidence was laid out."
Roberts "is relieved to put the prosecution and the potential exposure behind him," Barnett said.
Roberts' former wife made a tearful plea to Donahue before the sentencing, saying that she "strongly disagreed" with the plea and that the two domestic-violence counts should have remained felonies. Another domestic-battery charge was among those dismissed.
"What James has done to our son has been extremely damaging," she said, urging Roberts get counseling and apologize to her, their son and her family.
Donahue will dismiss the jury Wednesday.

The Labour Force Survey is a key economic indicator giving an overall picture of employment and unemployment. Employment counts the number of paid employees working part-time or full-time in the nation's business and government establishments. The unemployment rate measures the number of unemployed as a percentage of the labor force.
As in the U.S., this report is used as an indicator of the health of the domestic economy. Employment trends and break-downs by industry groups highlight the strength in job creation and the implications for future sectoral activity. The unemployment rate is used as an indicator of tightness in labor markets and can foreshadow a future increase in wages. Labor force data provide investors with the earliest signs of industry performance. While other data are produced with a month or two delay, these data are available only a week to 10 days after the end of the latest month. Reactions can be dramatic - especially when the result is unanticipated.
The information in the report is invaluable for investors. By looking at employment trends in the various sectors, investors can take more strategic control of their portfolio. If employment in certain industries is growing, there could be investment opportunities in the firms within that industry.
The bond market will rally (fall) when the employment situation shows weakness (strength). The equity market often rallies with the bond market on weak data because low interest rates are good for stocks. But sometimes the two markets move in opposite directions. After all, a healthy labor market should be favorable for the stock market because it supports economic growth and corporate profits. At the same time, bond traders are more concerned about the potential for inflationary pressures.
The unemployment rate rises during cyclical downturns and falls during periods of rapid economic growth. A rising unemployment rate is associated with a weak or contracting economy and declining interest rates. Conversely, a decreasing unemployment rate is associated with an expanding economy and potentially rising interest rates. The fear is that wages will accelerate if the unemployment rate becomes too low and workers are hard to find.

I'm looking for a reference that would discuss a Stieltjes convolution between a wiener process and a function of bounded variation. Additionally, I had a question about this sort of convolution.
Is Stieltjes convolution between a function $F(t)$ with bounded variation and a wiener process, $W(t)$ commutative?
if $F(t) \bigotimes W(t)=\int F(t-x)dW(x)$
then does $W(t) \bigotimes F(t)= \int W(t-x)dF(x) = F(t) \bigotimes W(t) $?
Additionally, I'd like to evaluate this integral numerically when I have no formula for F, but a list of points ${t_0,t_1,...t_{N-1} }$ and the values of $F(t)$ at those points. Any references that would point me in this direction would be appreciated.

In the past five years, Pride of Kinston has had its hand in the economic development of downtown. For the next five, the focus is shifting toward real estate.
When Adrian King took the job as the director of Pride of Kinston in 2005, he said he wanted to help erase a negative stigma from conversations with others.
�After living in Raleigh, Atlanta and Washington D.C., I decided to come home and people kept saying �I can�t believe you moved back to Kinston,� King said. �It was really depressing.�
King said last weekend was a great barometer of the change that has occurred since.
�The downtown area was full of people, which brings resources, as well as attitude and activity to the area,� King said. �The people, who go home to places such as Greenville and Goldsboro after enjoying the restaurants and activities here, will tell their friends about their times in Kinston. In turn, that provides revenue, which is self-generating.�
King said the past five years have been the greatest for economic development in the city, but the catalyst took place the same year he became director.
�The trend really started with John Howard building the restaurant for Vivian Howard, known as Chef and the Farmer,� King said. �It spurred an attitude in the community, and Stephen Hill said that investment gave him the inspiration to create the Mother Earth Brewery, and invest into other projects for the community.�
Kinston Mayor B.J. Murphy was the director of Pride from 2003 until 2005. He said the organization has been prominent over the past few years and has a bright future.
�Pride has a unique opportunity to play a major role in the redevelopment of downtown Kinston using their 501 status and the many public and private partnerships,� Murphy said. �When I left Pride of Kinston, there was a major reorganization and an influx of new committee and board membership, as well as ideas. They began their first �Sand in the Streets� series and the �Light Up Downtown,� which morphed into �Holly Days.� I would like to see them build on reorganizational efforts and help with keeping downtown a positive force in the community.�
Steve Parell, owner of Salon Steven, opened his business in 2007. He said he had one of the first businesses during the new era, and has been excited about the expansion.
�There have been quite a few more businesses and people showing interest in this area now,� Parell said. �I have shown interest in the piece of land next door to expand my building, and create more jobs in the area.�
Susan Turner, co-owner of Lovick�s Caf�, said the restaurant � which has been on Herritage Street since 1941 � won�t be expanding, but she has seen a definite change in the area.
�There�s been a lot of improvement as far as looks are concerned,� Turner said.
Cynthia Dunn, owner of Overland Gallery, said she has liked what Pride has been doing in the community, as well as the accomplishments of the Kinston-Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce.
�Pride has a clear vision as to what needs to be done, whether it�s dealing with downtown or working on other projects,� Dunn said. �The chamber of commerce is doing similar things in another dimension, and it would be great if the two could be each other�s cheerleaders for a more synergistic and powerful movement.�
Laura Lee Sylvester, president of the chamber, said both organizations have done and will continue to do plenty of work together on various committees and projects.
�We have a great relationship with Pride,� Sylvester said. �The chamber mission is to do what we can to help residents and business in the community, not just in downtown Kinston, but Lenoir County as a whole. Pride is more connected with downtown Kinston, but we work together all the time, and it�s pretty much seamless. It�s very similar to working with the Arts Center and Cooperative Extension; we�re helping each other out year-round.�
With Herritage Street looking more vibrant, King said he wants to shift the focus toward Queen Street and the real estate aspect with its empty storefronts.
�We did a survey last spring, and we see 168,000 square feet of opportunity,� King said. �Queen Street is being underutilized, and we want to strengthen the market for the area. We need to have some retail diversity in Kinston, along the lines of outlets and businesses. We�re also going to start doubling our market downtown for locally owned businesses, as well as the regional and national chains.�
King said some projects have been in the works.
�We have the Civil War Museum, with new exhibitions and attractions,� King said. �There are also three projects on the verge of being announced, but I�m not in a position to speak on it just yet. We�re looking at having living apartments and condos, along with a bed and breakfast downtown. There are really a lot of things, which haven�t been vetted yet, but we�ll send it to the economic committee for February.�
Rob Bizzell, a member emeritus of Pride and owner of ENC Psychological, Extensive Pharmaceutical and Realo Discount Drugs, said he wouldn�t mind adding to the buildings.
�My mind is always open to doing some type of investment or expansion if it�s cost-effective,� Bizzell said.
King said Pride�s focus is to continue bringing economic development to the city.
�In the past, investors went to the Internet and found stuff about our town that didn�t fit their marketing strategy,� King said. �Now, we have more amenities where people can eat, shop and live. We just have to continue to show future business owners that Kinston is continually making strides.�

This may be an overly simplistic question but please bear with me...
I have a BibTeX bibliography containing all of my references, set up using BibDesk. I am now trying to cite these references in my LaTeX documents. Following the advice on the LaTeX wikibooks page, I have included the following lines into my LaTeX document...
... where
BIBliography is my
.bib file, created in BibDesk.
Unfortunately, when I cite something in the document, using
\cite{citekey} and typeset the document, the log tells me that there were undefined references. In the
[?] where the references should be.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to store my
.bib for in a particular location? I know there can be some errors that mean you need to typeset the document several times, but I have tried countless times to no avail.
I would be very grateful if someone could help out.

'Like just about every model in the FujiFilm CSC line-up, the FujiFilm X-T10 is a great camera. '
'classic look'
'Like almost every other new camera, the X-T10 features built-in Wi-Fi. '
'logical enough rear control layout'
'Ricoh are well known for delivering responsive cameras, and the GR II certainly continues in that tradition. '
'The Ricoh is specialised, then, but it does what it does exceptionally well.'
'unique and ambitious camera'
'The lightweight, compact Ricoh GR II is well designed, and its APS-C sensor allows for shallower depth-of-field than do the smaller sensors in competitors.'
'All in all, though, the Samsung NX500 is a fun, great little camera. '
'The Samsung NX500 is a promising camera with excellent imaging capabilities, but a few things hold it back from getting top marks. '
'With the exception of a viewfinder, the NX500 offers a pretty enticing collection of features.'
'terrific camera'
'very capable camera'
'There's no mistaking it; this is definitely a Panasonic hybrid.'
'a broad feature set'
'The pop-up flash worked well indoors, with no red-eye and good overall exposure. '
'excellent compact system camera'
'But just because it's affordable doesn't mean it feels cheap per se; the GF7 isn't the very best built Lumix camera in the range, as price dictates, but this small-scale model is well crafted all things considered. '
'180° tiltable touchscreen'
Panasonic's entry-level mirrorless compact system camera gets an upgrade
'Top-notch high ISO performance'
'The supplied external flash worked well indoors, with no red-eye and adequate exposure. '
Panasonic's LX compact series gets a bigger sensor and traditional controls
Advanced compact hits all the right notes
'The Panasonic FZ1000 is an extremely interesting camera, and one built with a very clear rival in mind. '
'excellent bridge camera'
'So if you're looking for a DSLR alternative with a long lens then, all things considered, the FZ1000 is an affordable and viable solution. '
'The RX10's denser build is indicative of its internal magnesium alloy chassis and weather-sealed design.'
'The Canon PowerShot SX60 HS is a very impressive camera that's sure to please novice and enthusiast photographers alike.'
'Slow AF and limited image quality make the Canon SX60 HS an uninspiring update to an outdated camera. '
'It takes what has always been successful about this companies superzooms and pushes it up a notch.'
'Despite the lows, it is still a highly recommend camera for those who want a one-in-all that's perfect for travel. '
'Ultimately the K-S1 is a very capable camera that, ironically, is let down by some of the very aspects intended to make it stand out. '
'The K-S1 is also noticeably heavier, which exacerbates my difficulties holding it comfortably, but if you have small hands, you may actually prefer the size of the K-S1.'
'Images become distinctly scrappy at the highest ISOs.'
'Not very user-friendly.'
Some interesting specs in a teeny tiny body
Pros: Stills and video quality, build quality.
It's very small and it can take good pictures, but it's not well designed
Samsung gets the cheers for designing an incredibly small interchangeable lens camera, and it'll fill a niche with select customers, especially the selfie generation. Photographically, it isn't strong enough to replace cameras with larger sensors.
