Though on the other hand Kanzaki beat really beat up Touma badly, but then I again I am pretty sure picking a fight with anyone who uses magic, and 2 meter katana is a bad idea in the first place .

What is it?: Unnecessary Fan Service
Worst offenders: I really don't feel like searching my recently concussion-ed head for specifics, but I can say, any anime that isn't centered around ecchi that throws shit out there expecting it to be funny. I don't know about you guys, but I'm not laughing. Or getting a boner.
Notable exceptions: You can excuse anime such as harem, since a large proportion of its plot is devoted to ecchi and fan service. I really don't care when they do it, but when I want a straight story and action, random panties and clothing dampening just doesn't hit it with me.
Variants: There's funny, and then there's the pointless. I rarely see the former.
What makes it popular: It sells. People want to see their favorite female being humiliated or oblivious to her apparent cuteness or lack of dignity.
Which brings me to another peeve: female manipulation. Even male manipulation! But that's for another time.
Guys want to rage, and girls... What do they want? Anyways...
Put simply; sex sells.
Reason that I hated it: I honestly don't find 99% of all fan-service/ecchi moments even remotely funny. It's in the way, unnecessary, and forces me to hide my iPhone from prying parental eyes whenever I just want my daily anime fix.
Does the hate really worth it?: Well, if we go by personal opinion, of course it is. Freaking perverted Japanese!

What is it?: Psycho-lesbian characters
Worst offenders: Toaru Majutsu index/Railgun & Baka To Test
Notable exceptions: Um, Azumanga Daioh?
Variants: Female characters who would beat up men just to be with the girl they love, disturbingly
What makes it popular: The popularity of Tsundere culture & LGBT lifestyle. "Hey, she makes herself look like she hates men, so she must have a lesbian following, right?"
Reason that I hated it: They're annoying, irritating and anti-climatic. Oh, and It's HOMOPHOBIC!
Does the hate really worth it?: Yes. Not only is it homophobic, it gives an impression that all lesbians are psychos who prey on friends with dishonesty. In my opinion, Characters like Kuroko from Railgun and Miharu from baka To Test are giving lesbians in Japan a bad name, and it's a step backwards from positive portrayal of LGBT characters in anime, especially for those meant towards the straight otaku market.

From what I've heard yaoi doesn't really have this problem, at least not to such an extent. So maybe we can add sexism to the charge of homophobia while we're at it.

@Taufiq91: I already hate both yaoi and yuri genre as I discovered that both of them are nothing more than just fapping material for straight people, both men and women. So far I never encountered any yaoi fangirls or yuri fanboys who actually looking for "emotional and realistic" portrayals of gays and lesbians.
Back to topic...The complete aversion of the OP...
What is it?: Girls and women who loves to cook only to be look cute and sexy in the eyes of men. In other words, "moe" factor.
Worst offenders: Magikano, Sister Princess, K-On!, Yosuga no Sora(yes even one of my favorite shows included).
Notable exceptions: Probably none. In Yumeiro Patissire the lead girl learn baking cakes and desserts professionally, not to look cute while lots of fans find her cute doing it. In Yakitate Japan!! one of the anti-heroine(and later protagonist) wears bikini to distract one of the protagonist. While it may considered sexist but its actually an important plot element.
Variants: Girls and women who can't do nothing but cook. Kasumi from Ranma 1/2 is the best example.
What makes it popular: Ahhh the sexism. There's nothing better seeing your beautiful girlfriend or wife smiling at you in dining room with a roasted turkey and grilled salmon on the dinner table after hard day working even though its not Christmas or Thanksgiving Day.
Reason I hated it: Again the sexism. It just as annoying as the opposite which I already mentioned earlier. Both men and women are as just as guilty to each other when it comes to this issue. Both wanted some sort of sex symbols. Okay people, cooking is for survival, profession and something to tie the family bond. Not something to look cute and sexy.
Does the hate really worth it?: Absolutely yes. I wish I can see more characters who are good at cooking and only do so to fill his or her empty stomachs, not as sex symbol.

Even Kuro from KNJ annoys me.....she's such a bitch. I don't hate her but it's like "....um, you could be a LITTLE nicer, you know?" lol
But the character who really started causing my hate was um....

Notable exceptions: Umm...can't think of any at the moment
Variants: I guess in like ninja shows, it could be all, OMG A ...... Log....is behind you........AND NOW HE'S BEHIND YOU, OMG!!!11
What makes it popular: It's just a common cliche of fighting anime
Reason that I hated it: It's so predictable, I could be watching a fighting anime for the first time and predict the moment this happens before it even does
Does the hate really worth it?: Not entirely, it's just a pet peeve of mine and probably someone else's too.

National/ethnic stereotypes. Sometimes it can be played for laughs, and I usually detest PC, but the stereotypes of countries for characters is just tiresome to me. American - blue eyed blond with big boobs (if female). Don't even get me started on black characters. British - invariably a snooty aristocrat. German - militaristic. Chinese - cheongsam, double bun "ox horn" hairstyle, will speak in stilted Japanese, some sort of "Chinese-style" music will play when they appear. At least Chinese characters wearing the Mao suit seems to have faded from modern anime.

@Kameruka, I am starting to think you just haves something againist cooking in general . Also just wondering what girl would say from K-On is this applied to, as the only one who was shown to regularly cook would be Yui's younger sister, Ui.
Also a lesbian gone "Psycho" can be done for much more serious and meaningful reasons, such as in my opinion Chikane from KnM, which was due to her realizing she had killed her lover in their past lives againist her will, and she forced to either kill her lover again, get her lover to kill her, or let the world end, so I think that's pretty legitimate grounds for having a character go "psycho".
/On Topic now:
What is it?: A character "leaving, or moving away" except they don't
Worst offenders: Sora no Woto having a character leave for "political marriage" yet only to return thru a plot excuse annoyed me greatly, Shakugan no Shana this one is here because Shana AND Yuuji both planned to move away/leave multiple times yet stayed in the city thru the whole series, Ore no Imouto see episode 12.
Notable exceptions: Kobato. exempted because it wasn't something Kobato was planning to do rather happened because of something out of her againist her will[and I don't mean job/parents/family/etc] and was well done and foreshadowed.
Variants: Character leaving "forever", only to be gone briefly and then reappear back in the series there after.
What makes it popular: It's easy drama for the writers to make I suppose .
Reason that I hated it: It's just played for drama ussually to make the view worry that the character make actually be gone, when they just stay where they were in the end, so the drama was for nothing.
Does the hate really worth it?: Considering how much it's used, I'd like to say yes since it results in a stall/filler to the series for actual plot or development ussually.

Now your earlier post about girls who CAN'T cook I agree with. It plays on the much outdated assumption that girls, especially feminine ones, are supposed to be good at cooking and then plays a "twist" that, oh the shock(!), she can't! Even worse is how greatly exaggerated this "bad cooking" trick can get, with each new example trying to outdo the earlier ones to ridiculous and most importantly unfunny boundaries. Like people passing out or feeling sick from eating the food and torturing themselves as they attempt to not offend the cook (Bakatest and Clannad, I'm looking at you). Or the character shown turning the kitchen into some horror dungeon with fire, ash and spilled food everywhere in their attempt to brew an edible concoction (Shakugan no Shana and ef: a tale of memories). It's not funny, it's just tragic.
To contribute my own peeve:
What is it?: The BOING sound when breasts bounce or touch something.
Worst offenders: Anime scenes that incorporate this cliche tend to be easily forgotten, but I remember Himeji Mizuki's audible boobs from Bakatest and Yoko's from Gurren Lagann.
Notable exceptions: Most anime with bouncing breasts actually. But the ones that feature it stick out badly.
What makes it popular: Writers who think the audience is dozing off need to get the audience to pay attention to the moving mammaries whether they want to or not. In other words, "Look, fanservice! By the way, you're an idiot for not noticing before so I added sound effects."
Reason that I hate it: It's probably some combination between the fact that it is completely pointless and my own OCD reminding me that breasts simply don't sound like that. For the former, do we really need that sound? Why can't we just witness the sight in its visual glory alone? For the latter, yeah, breasts hardly make any sound near to that and we know it. It even detracts from the fanservice because I'm paying too much attention to that blasted implausible sound effect to appreciate the breasts.
Is the hate really worth it?: Probably not, as I said earlier part of this peeve is due to my personal refusal to suspend my disbelief in the face of such a trivial sound effect. But it's not entirely unfounded, as its use tends to make the situation feel artificial and plastic.

Without that BOING sound bouncing breasts alone are mostly fine. I don't recall the sound effect being used in Gunbuster. According to the staff, the 'Gainaxing' in Gunbuster was not just there for fanservice but part of an effort to make the characters seem more alive and animated. And the cliche I mentioned doesn't automatically discredit an anime anway as Gurren Lagann is one of my top anime.

The weird part is that the anime series don't use the boing sound often have far, far better animated breasts.

A thread about cliches I hate? I must. . . resist. . . making a ten page long post.
What is it?: Tsundere chicks.
Worst Offenders: Oh, let me see. . . just about every romance anime ever.
Notable Exceptions: Magikano, My Bride is a Mermaid, and ToraDora! are all very entertaining series while including a tsundere.
What makes it popular: I honestly have no idea. Is the idea of a girl who will beat you up but love you underneath all of that really that sexy? Guess you can hold her hand after she puts you in the ER.
Reasons that I hate it: It's way too overused. Tsunderes are so common now a days that they revert to being one note characters with tsundere being their only distinguishing trait. Tsunderes are only fun to watch if they evolve past that point.
Is the hate really worth it? Yes and no. Overused and tired cliches are a bad thing, and I really hate them, but plenty of people like tsunderes. I don't want to get rid of them entirely but want to see more tsunderes with deeper characterization. Tropes and cliches are only as bad as you write them.

Quickly realizing the cliche that every non-main character/villain soldier from any militaristic organization/society is a bumbling good-for-nothing loser without an aim or balls is getting over-used and quite annoying.

NA Juniors Game Night: 12-28-12
Ontario Hockey League
Brampton Battalion 3 @ Sarnia Sting 2
D Dylan Blujus, BRAM: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM
Season totals: 37 GP, 2-13-15, -10, 28 PIM
Blake Clarke (2014) scored twice to lead Brampton to a 3-1 road win over Sarnia.
Erie Otters 1 @ Owen Sound Attack 6
D Jake Dotchin, OS: 0-3-3, +1, 2 PIM
Season totals: 33 GP, 2-11-13, +4, 37 PIM
Lightning prospect Jake Dotchin (pictured) had a career-high three assists in one game as the Attack earned two points by beating visiting Erie, 6-1. This was Dotchin's second 3-point game in his career – he had a goal and two assists against Peterborough last February. He now has 13 points in 33 games and is on pace to set a new career high for goals, assists, and points in a season (3-16-19 in 2011-12).
Peterborough Petes 5 @ Kingston Frontenacs 2
D Slater Koekkoek, PBO: 1-0-1, -1, 0 PIM
Season totals: 35 GP, 6-20-26, -23, 28 PIM
Slater Koekkoek scored his sixth goal of the season late in the third on the power play to put the game away for Peterborough, who beat Kingston on the road, 5-2. Koekkoek, who hit the post minutes before he scored, slid into the high slot from the right point and one-timed a pass from Steven Trojanovic (undrafted) through Kingston goalie Mike Morrison (undrafted), who played for the Petes last year. The puck trickled over the line before being swept back into play, but the referee ruled it a goal. The OHL offices in Toronto took more than eight minutes to confirm it was a goal.
Note: Prospects Nikita Kucherov (Rouyn-Noranda, QMJHL), Artem Sergeev (Val-d'Or, QMJHL), and Tanner Richard (Guelph, OHL) are participating in the 2013 World Junior Championships and are therefore not with their respective club teams.

Ed Jim "Big Daddy" Glickenhaus has had a few months to toy with his Pininfarina-built, Enzo-based Ferrari P4/5, and the auto types over at Forbes commissioned Ted West (who did the Car and Driver P4/5 profile released just before the car's debut at Pebble Beach last summer) to speak with tha Glick about what the car's like to live with. He was careful not to dis the underlying Enzo, pointing out that the P4/5 is both an evolution and a result of technology that's four years newer. He then went on to point out that his machine is faster, louder and less likely to scrape on curbs than Ferrari's own basket-case-mad supercar.

I should also add that the people who keep b*tching about their science jobs are experiencing the same problems in EVERY profession. Reaching the top of any profession is not easy. Plenty of lawyers can do well in their first several years and then find they can never make partner. In science, it may indeed be more difficult. But if you have that natural ability in the sciences, you really should stay with it. Science and technology are the fields that truly advance mankind. Other areas are important but their importance is always in the shadow of what science and technology bring to the table.

[9.2.349 Pro] - Custom Menu Items
I've set up a custom menu item to pass on execution plan information to SQL Sentry Plan Explorer. The setup is the following:
Menu Caption: Open in Sentry Plan Explorer
Command Type: Copy output data to clipboard and run external program
Where: Execution plan panes
Data Format: XML
Output File:
Program to Run: C:\Program Files\SQL Sentry\SQL Sentry Plan Explorer\SQL Sentry Plan Explorer.exe
But it does not seem to work, it throws an exception. I tried to report it but when I clicked
Submit Error Report
the dialog said:
Error Report Rejected:
The error you are trying to report indicates that you are trying to access some database or object for which you do not have the required permissions.
This security error has nothing to do with SQL Assistant.
which is a bit strange, the necessary object were already accessed since the execution plan was shown in SE and the action that failed should only have copied the execution plan xml to clipboard and start SQL Sentry Plan Explorer.

Likewise saving to an XML file doesn't work.
If I save it to xml and try and open it with SQL Plan Explorer it doesn't do anything, but if I right click the plan and do "Show XML" and paste that into SQL Plan Explorer it works.
The text in the saved XML vs "Show XML" in SQL Editor are very different, to top it off.

So "Show XML" then "Open in SE" with the options set to save it to an output file saves a better formed XML file that can be opened by plan explorer via CLI, but invocation from SQL Editor does nothing.

So, I think I may see why gemisigo is having issues:
This is pretty normal, hit OK.
Hit OK to exit SQL Assistant settings.
Go back in to custom menu settings:
Suddenly the external program is empty, but Output file contains the program to run.

This, however odd it is, works:
Even though you are copying to the clipboard and then running the program, it still makes the output file and successfully opens it! Without the output file in place, the preferences move the program to execute to the output file which throws an exception.
Also if you don't wrap the program to execute in quotes SQL Editor will tell you "C:\Program" does not exist.

I think "Program to Run" isn't a good name for that option. It's better be called "Command Line" as it may include command line parameters. You're responsible for the parameters and correct syntax. If the path or parameters include spaces, they should be enclosed in double quotes.

I think "Program to Run" isn't a good name for that option. It's better be called "Command Line" as it may include command line parameters. You're responsible for the parameters and correct syntax. If the path or parameters include spaces, they should be enclosed in double quotes.
There are still bugs/idiosyncrasies with it though... the examples given above make it difficult to use because things save to the wrong spot or don't necessarily work.
For example. If I set it to save to output file and run program
and set my program to run to "C:\Program Files\SQL Sentry\SQL Sentry Plan Explorer\SQL Sentry Plan Explorer.exe" C:\temp\outputfile.xml
It doesn't launch the program, period.
The only way I got it to work is to "trick" it by telling it to copy contents to the clipboard, then I still had to set an output file (to avoid the program path being moved to the output file). Then to top THAT off, I did NOT have to specify the target file for SQL Sentry Plan Explorer to open in the "Command to run" like my above example, I simply told it what program to run with no parameters and SQL Editor must have told it to open my C:\temp\outputfile.xml itself.

I did find this in the SQLAssistant.log that is likely related to gemisigo's post:
Line 26253: exception message : Cannot create file "C:\Program Files\SQL Sentry\SQL Sentry Plan Explorer\SQL Sentry Plan Explorer.exe". Access is denied.
This happens when you leave output file blank, but set the program to run. When you save it and exit the SQL Assistant settings dialog, it seems to save the program to run as the output file (like seen in one of my posts above)... so when gemisigo tries to run his custom menu item it's trying to output the plan and overwrite the targeted executable.

Yes, this must be how it happened. At first I wasn't sure what you were talking about because simply applying changes puts everything where they belong. I almost never close SA Options, I just apply changes and let that window rest in the background since I use it pretty frequently. But now I repeated the steps as described (using OK instead of Apply) and it had the contents of External Program moved to Output File.
You might also take a look at that xml thing. Having the format set to XML still throws exception. I had to set it to Default so that SA could open SSPE but then the saved xml was not a valid execution plan desrciption, thus SSPE failed to load it. When I set the pane to show XML, I've seen this:
and the saved file content was:
I'm sorry for the images but it seems that putting xml into a reply (regardless of being in code/quote) will remove much of the contents when displaying the post.

Yes you have to set the format to default rather than XML
Also I told my menu to pop up on all menues because to get the right XML you need to right click show xml on the query plan and then open it with SPE (right click menu) otherwise you get a malformed xml plan.

Hard Knocks Episode 2: Trains, Planes and Lowber?
It seemed like forever, the wait from the premiere episode of Hard Knocks, to the second episode tonight. I watched the first episode at least 5 times! Where as the first installment was an overview and reflection, this episode was more of an in-depth look at training camp and preparations for a (preseason) game. I still thouroughly enjoyed it again!
One of my favorite parts of this episode was a look at Zach Thomas. I know that Felix Jones and Pac Man Jones are flashier additions to the team, but I think Zach may be the most important. He looks fresh, healthy and hungry. With him and Bradie James up the middle, I think you will see alot less of those 7 yard gains on 1st down that make it near impossible to get a 3 and out.
Another cool thing in this weeks show was the overwhelming respect the players have for Coach Phillips. I read alot of blogs, columns and other Cowboy related media, and no one seems to mention or give credit to Wade. All I hear is win the Superbowl or get fired. And this may be reality, but how many coaches would find a way to let there ego get in the way and not even put his team in a POSITION to win the Superbowl. I know one for sure, and he lives in Miami now. I give Coach Phillips alot of credit and I am hoping that he gets his ring, because I truly believe he deserves it.
As far as the undrafted rookies go, I understand that HBO is trying to put a little drama into the show. Will they make it, will they not? Short answer: NO. Maybe "Ray Lewis' Little Brother" has a chance at practice squad, but that's it. As far as Lowber, the "80th man on the roster" goes, I got bad news for him, the season starts with 54 players.
This show continues to have my attention gripped and I can't wait for next weeks episode already. As far as the San Diego game goes, anyone who is concerned or worried about that should take a step back of that ledge and remember what Coach Phillips said. "These games are for getting better." That's all they are.
I Don't know if Hard Knocks has any room for improvement.

As the Council progressed, then ended, and the Church moved into the implementation phase following the Council, so much about how we were Church evolved. No longer was ministry something that only priests and sisters did, for example. We had recovered a sense of baptism as the primal sacrament of ministry, and the Council has described the Church as a pilgrim in the world and servant to the world. All members of the Church, we read in the Council's documents, were called to be evangelists, and the Church herself was to be "a leaven and a kind of soul" within the world. However, all of this came at a cost.
Vatican II was convened because many bishops, including Pope John XXIII, believed that the Church was out of touch with the demands of the modern world. Churchmen of the first half of the 20th Century were deeply concerned over the Church's failure to be a more effective witness of Christ during that time, and worried that the Church had been ineffectual at confronting the issues that led to two world wars and the rise of three totalitarian regimes. The Council was an attempt to give a renewed missionary drive to the Church, to empower all of the members of the Church to be "co-responsible" as evangelists to the world, with all believers being called to perfect holiness, despite our state in life. The Council was, as Pope Paul VI put it, "the great Catechism of our time." My generation of seminarians found ourselves inspired to be at the forefront of these renewed efforts in the Church and the world, and enthusiastically responded to the Council's call.
Nonetheless, following the Council, we watched as public institutions, including institutional Churches, continued to lose credibility in the contemporary world. Despite our best efforts in the 1960's and 1970's to find creative ways to be a prophetic witness of Christ to the world, efforts which are now routinely mocked by certain reactionary elements even within our own Church, people continued to find, as they had even before the Council, that certain aspects of the Church -- usually described as the "institutional" dimension of the Church -- to be irrelevant at best and harmful at worst. Increasingly people began to say that they were spiritual, and maybe even go so far as to say that they were spiritual Catholics, but not in the sense of being churchgoing religionists. As a friend once said to me, "The Catholic Church is great once the institution gets out of the way." Perhaps the most troubling thing to watch, for me personally, was how members of my own family were treated by certain priests and other "good church-going Catholics," who very successfully drove these family members from the Church through their stupidity, narrowness and arrogance. I watched as repeatedly, my loved ones would try and try again to reconnect, only to encounter the same kind of things all over again until they felt they had no choice but to leave.
And here's the real point of all this: my family's situation is not an isolated case. Recently, on an international list-server for deacons, a brother deacon asked the group how many family members in our own extended families still "practiced" Catholicism. I won't depress you with the final answers.
Author Eric Weiner, writing an op-ed piece in the New York Times recently, asks "Americans: Undecided about God?" Read the whole article here. It's a most thought-provoking piece, and many folks have been blogging about it. At first I was going to pass this one by, but as I was preparing homilies for this Third Sunday of Advent, I came back to Weiner's piece. The questions asked of John the Baptizer remain the questions asked of us today: "Who are you? What have you got to say about yourself?
Weiner concludes his column with his own take on an answer:
What is the solution? The answer, I think, lies in the sort of entrepreneurial spirit that has long defined America, including religious America.
While I'll leave the comparison to Steve Jobs alone, I do rather like his observation that what he's looking for is "not a new religion but a new way of being religious." That, in my opinion, was PRECISELY was the Second Vatican Council was calling us to do. Sure, those bishops used the Latin term novus mentis habitus (a "new way of thinking"), but there it is, in contemporary terms. How can we, followers of Christ, find a new way of being religious, a new way of being Catholic, in the contemporary world? A new way of being Catholic that proclaims Christ in ways that are -- like Christ Himself -- always inviting and open to all. We shouldn't be excluding ANYONE from our assembly, precisely because we proclaim ourselves to be a people called by God ("ekklesia"), not by "the Church". And this people called by God has always, throughout the Tradition, called itself to be catholikos -- catholic -- open to all and universal. If we were truly finding a new way of thinking, a new way of being religious, people who now feel excluded from our communion would instead be welcomed! No matter how else society might be treating them, they would find a warm, welcoming home with us! "These Christians! See how they love one another!"We need a Steve Jobs of religion. Someone (or ones) who can invent not a new religion but, rather, a new way of being religious. Like Mr. Jobs's creations, this new way would be straightforward and unencumbered and absolutely intuitive. Most important, it would be highly interactive. I imagine a religious space that celebrates doubt, encourages experimentation and allows one to utter the word God without embarrassment. A religious operating system for the Nones among us. And for all of us.
"Who are you? What have you got to say for yourself?"

Insurance companies could soon be off the hook for stiff penalties and fines imposed by the California Department of Insurance's ("CDI") for violations of the Fair Claims Settlement Practices Regulations ("FCPR"). This is according to California Administrative Law Judge Stephen J. Smith, who recently issued a 51-page ruling finding the CDI's Fair Claims Settlement Practices Regulations might not be brought as unfair claims acts.
This ruling affects how the CDI has imposed penalties against insurers for claims since the inception of the FCPR in 1992. Since that time, only two cases have gone to adjudication challenging the procedure, and fines, as most insurance companies have chosen to settle. In both cases, the insurance companies -- an auto insurer and a life and health insurer -- retained Robert Hogeboom, senior insurance regulatory attorney with Barger & Wolen, to represent them.
In the most recent decision, Judge Smith's ruling was based on the CDI's Order to Show Cause ("OSC") action alleging 697 violations against the five Torchmark groups of life and health insurers.
According to Hogeboom,
This ruling is an extraordinary indictment of the FCPR because for the past 20 years the CDI has required insurers to follow the FCPR under threat of an OSC proceeding and large fines."
This may also result in changes to Market Conduct Examinations if they are to serve as the basis for an OSC proceeding.
The decision will impact all lines of insurance regulated by the DOI.
Full Analysis of the Decision
On August 25, 2012, California Administrative Law Judge Stephen J. Smith, issued a 51-page ruling that found the California Department of Insurance's ("CDI") Fair Claims Settlement Practices Regulations ("FCPR") may not be asserted as unfair claims acts. The ruling affects how the CDI has asserted penalties since the inception of the FCPR in 1992 in Order to Show Cause proceedings based on Market Conduct Examinations. Robert Hogeboom of Barger & Wolen represented the successful insurer, the Torchmark group of five life and health insurers, in the proceeding.
Judge Smith's ruling was issued in the form of an Order pursuant to the CDI's Order to Show Cause ("OSC") action alleging 697 violations against the five Torchmark group of life and health insurers. The violations were based primarily on violations of the FCPR contained in § 2695.1 et seq. of Title X, California Administrative Code. The OSC was issued following the CDI's Market Conduct Claims Examination which examined Torchmark's life and health claims settlement practices principally through application of the FCPR.
On behalf of Torchmark, Barger & Wolen filed a denial of the allegations in the OSC followed by a Motion to Strike the FCPR allegations. The motion relied on California Government Code § 11506 to challenge the FCPR as improper to seek monetary penalties and a cease and desist order. A four-hour legal argument on the Motion occurred on May 25, 2012, before Judge Smith. In the court's extensive ruling, which contained 150 separate findings, the court ruled that:
- None of the standards prescribed in the FCPR appear anywhere in California Insurance Code § 790.03 (pursuant to which statute the CDI adopted the FCPR); these are additional standards added exclusively by regulatory action of the CDI.
- The FCPR as applied are unenforceable pursuant to California Government Code §§ 11152 and 11342.2, which establish the test for determining the validity of regulations. Specifically, the court held that § 2695.1 of the FCPR improperly creates new unfair standards and duties within the meaning of Insurance Code § 790.03(h), which subjects insurers to the penalty provisions of Insurance Code § 790.035 for failure to meet those standards.
- The FCPR through CCR § 2695.1(a) dramatically and impermissibly expands the scope, nature and reach of the 16 unfair claims settlement practices set forth in Insurance Code § 790.03(h)(1)-(16). The court held that new unfair acts may only be promulgated by the legislature or through the process set forth in Insurance Code § 790.06.
- The CDI's language in CCR § 2695.1 impermissibly amends Insurance Code § 790.03(h) such that a violation can be proved by means of a single knowing act or by proof of a general business practice, which amendment lowers the burden of proof and quality of evidence necessary for the CDI to prove a violation of § 790.03(h). In order to assert a violation of § 790.03(h), proof must be shown that the violation was both knowingly committed and performed with such frequency as to reflect a general business practice.
- An OSC drawn from the conclusions or statements in a Market Conduct Examination is improper to support a valid pleading. Such examinations lack specificity about each act. OSC pleadings must assert violations under Insurance Code § 790.03(h)(1)-(16) and pleadings must set forth the charges and allegations in ordinary and concise language, such that the acts or omissions of which the respondent is charged may be reasonably ascertained.
Hogeboom's observations on the ruling are the following:
- The ruling is an extraordinary indictment of the FCPR and how for the last 20 years the CDI has required insurers to follow the FCPR under threat of an OSC proceeding and large fines.
- The ruling will require the CDI to plead OSCs using pertinent facts relating to each specific transaction.
- The ruling may result in changes made to Market Conduct Examinations if they are to serve as the basis for an OSC proceeding.
- The ruling requires the CDI to show a general business practice as a condition for a violation of claims settlement practices specified in § 790.03(h)(1-16).
- The ruling also covers all Insurance Code § 790.03 unfair practices. Accordingly, this brings into question the validity of the § 790.03 penalty provisions in the recent regulation containing the standards for homeowners' estimates of replacement value contained in CCR § 2695.183 and the long-standing broker fee regulations in CCR § 2189.5.
Because of the impact of this decision on the claims regulations and market conduct examinations, Mr. Hogeboom will hold a seminar on the background of the FCPR, the court's decision and Market Conduct Examinations in the near future. Mr. Hogeboom is also available to meet with specific insurers at their home offices upon request.

The greatest comeback
David Nelson doesn't remember the exact moment a knife pierced his heart. Nor does he remember intense pain or even shock. But he does remember the distinct feeling of life slipping away.
The 22-year-old college football player had just left the nightlife of downtown Boston happy-go-lucky, a tad hungry, and with close friends. When a fight unexpectedly broke out, he tried to calm the scene, but instead was stabbed in the heart.
"It was a pretty wild feeling, and something I will never forget," remarks Nelson, "The whole time, I didn't know what just happened, and then I look down and I'm bleeding – my arm, my chest – but I didn't feel anything."
When he left his apartment at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, he expected to return in just a few days. After all, he was only going to his brother's wedding over Memorial Day weekend. It was the summer before his senior year of college, and Nelson had a lot to do upon his return - train for a position as football captain and interview for an internship. So he laid out his interview clothes and packed a bag for Boston.
Little did he know that it would be two months before he returned.
When the knife pierced his heart, the pericardial sac filled up, saturated with blood. As a cab rushed him to Massachusetts General Hospital, Nelson went in and out of consciousness.
"At that time, I felt my life slipping away," explains Nelson. "I started thinking about everyone I loved in my life, and I asked myself is this really happening?"
Nelson describes it as a very surreal, but calm feeling – one that he will never forget. Then the lights went out.
As doctors at Mass General Hospital tried to revive him, they found his heart suffocated and unable to beat. He had no vitals. One nurse pushed her fingers into the puncture and gently massaged his heart back to beating.
"This nurse probably just looks at this as just her job, but to me, it takes a special person to do that," says Nelson.
Once the heart started beating, Tom MacGillivray, MD, cardiac surgeon, joined the clinical team to surgically repair a 1 cm puncture in the heart. Then the miracle happened. Upon completion of the surgical repair, Nelson awoke, scared and confused, but without long-term brain damage.
Within four days, Nelson walked out of the hospital, but he spent the next month battling a number of setbacks – short-term memory loss, an inability to drive, and severe pain in his ribs.
"I was scared, anxious and wanted life to get back to normal," says Nelson. "Playing football marked getting back to the usual."
A fullback for the Lafayette College Leopards, Nelson had been designated captain for the upcoming season. "I was determined to get back to football and loved it. I wanted to get back to being captain, and there was this possibility that I wouldn't be able to play football again."
In early July, Tom MacGillivray, MD, gave Nelson the green light to get back to his normal exercise routine and get in shape for football.
"I started swimming like crazy, and it was tough at first," admits Nelson. He vigorously exercised four hours a day, determined to get back to where he left off before Memorial Day. Two months after the stabbing, he returned to Pennsylvania to train with the team.
"My room was the same way I had left it the day I left for Boston," says Nelson.
He went from last in every sprint on day one of camp, fighting his way to eventually be first by the end. With this determination and the support of the team at Mass General Hospital, family and friends, Nelson went on to play football, remain captain, and help take the team all the way to win the Patriot League championship. It wasn't just a miracle. It was extraordinary.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A 23-6 run by MIT that brought it within two points with 58 seconds remaining in regulation would not be enough as Wheaton College held on for a 58-56 victory in a NEWMAC women's basketball game on Wednesday. Tamara Pena led all scorers with 23 points, collecting 16 of them during the Engineers' second-half run.
Anna Merrifield registered 12 points and four rebounds, all coming off the offensive glass. Rachel Hunt tallied 11 points, seven boards (five offensive), two assists, and a steal. Rebecca Odim notched five rebounds as Lauren Sascha Burton chipped in four assists and four rebounds for MIT (8-13, 4-11 NEWMAC).
The early stages were closely played as Wheaton held a two-point lead (12-10) at the 12:45 mark. Seven straight points gave the Lyons some breathing room as they later extended their margin to 11 (31-20) with 47 seconds left in the half. Hunt's layup resulted in a 31-22 score at the intermission.
Wheaton's advantage quickly returned to double-digits in the second stanza and it eventually grew to 52-33 at the 9:03 mark. Back-to-back three-pointers from Pena ignited MIT's late rally while Merrifield's trey closed the gap to two (58-56) with 58 seconds left.
A solid defensive effort forced the Lyons to call a timeout with 10 seconds remaining on the shot clock. Following the break, Wheaton got a shot off right before the buzzer sounded but Pena blocked it and MIT came up with the ball with 27 seconds to go.
Although the Engineers' attempt at registering the tying basket was just off the mark, they hauled in the rebound but then turned the ball over with 10 seconds on the clock. After a timeout by the Lyons, MIT immediately fouled on the inbounds pass. The hosts failed to convert the front-end of a one-and-one which resulted in Odim grabbing the rebound. Unfortunately, the Engineers were unable to generate a shot during waning moments of the game.

|Other: Epicutaneous skin prick testing
Peanut allergic volunteers will be identified by positive skin prick test to peanut (peanut extract obtained from Greer laboratories). The peanut extract to be used is FDA approved and is routinely used in confirming a diagnosis of peanut allergy. Serum Total IgE and peanut-specific IgE will be measured for assessment of atopy in general and confirmation of Peanut allergy respectively. Only patients with positive skin test to peanut will enrolled into the study.
Allergic volunteers will be asked to abstain from taking any antihistamines (H1 or H2) during the 3 days prior to the skin testing.
Testing day
- Obtain informed consent
- Obtain medical history, list of current medications
- Vital signs.
- Obtain urine pregnancy test if applicable
- Perform partial physical exam (PE) to include, ENT, Eyes, Neck, Respiratory, Cardiac and Skin with focus mainly on lungs to rule out bronchospasm/asthma exacerbation.
- Epicutaneous skin prick testing with histamine and saline control, standard peanut extract will be done on all subjects (Total skin prick=3). Those subjects who qualify for the study (test positive to standard peanut extract) will then undergo skin prick testing with standard histamine control, standard saline control, hypoallergenic (Trypsin+Chymotrypsin treated) extract, extract from blanched untreated (no enzyme) peanuts, non-blanched untreated extracts, and peanuts treated with 0.2% inactivated a-chymotrypsin and trypsin as an enzyme control. A second set of skin testing reagents may used these reagents have been treated with alcalase. Skin testing will be read at 15 minutes. A positive test is defined as ≥ 3mm wheal compared to saline control. DermaPIK device will be used for this skin prick testing.
- Obtain blood samples One time 20ml collection for determination of total IgE, peanut specific IgE in peanut allergic individuals only.
Physical Exams will be performed by a study physician. Procedures such as skin testing, vital signs, venipuncture, will be done by a study coordinator, qualified nurse or technical staff. Clinical labs (Serum IgE and Peanut-specific IgE) will be processed at Labcorp Inc in Burlington, NC.
Recording of Skin Test results: Skin test reactions will be traced onto clear cellophane tape from which measurements will be obtained. This tape will be affixed to a subject's visit record but not their personal medical record.
Excess samples remaining after completion of analyses for this study will be stored in the CEMALB Repository (IRB #05-2528) and all participants will be asked to sign the Repository consent form. Failure to consent to the repository will not result in exclusion from the main study.

It's very strange to eat dinner knowing that you will very likely see that meal again in just a few hours. I started a new birth control pill yesterday, and Doc warned me I might feel nauseated for the first week, so when I woke up at three-thirty this morning with that awful feeling in my gut, not the one where you feel like you're going to throw up, but the one where you know you're going to throw up, I just went with it. Usually when I feel like that, I hold out for as long as possible. Of course, usually I'm at a party and I don't want to be that girl throwing up in the bathroom, so there's that. (Sidenote: It's been almost exactly two years since I last drank so much I threw up. I happen to think that's fantastic. It turns out that when you drink responsibly, you don't puke your guts out all night!)
As I fled our pitch-dark bedroom for the glaring fluorescents of the bathroom, I had a fleeting urge to wake Michael and ask him to hold my hand. That's what I used to do when I was a kid. Whenever I got sick I'd knock on Mama's door and she'd come hold my hand and rub my back and whisper comforting words. But I'm a grown woman now, haven't woken my mother up in the middle of the night since I was a wild college girl, and then it was because of the trouble I was causing. So I didn't wake Mike, but put my hair in a ponytail and wrapped my arms around that porcelain god and —
"Babygirl, shh…." And his hands were on my back, warm and soothing, and he whispered kind words and wiped my face with a towel, and brought me ginger beer with ice to sip when I was done. Internet, I love that man.
Michael didn't want me to go on the pill. We tried it once and the hormones made me swollen and crazy and frigid. I tried three different prescriptions over nine months and had varying degrees of disgusting symptoms on each one. But this last year my periods went from blegh to seven full days of misery so awful I was in bed for at least three of them and when Mike complained for the third month in a row that he couldn't sleep because of my thrashing, I said Screw It. If there's one thing I had loved about being on the pill, it was the sweet little cramp-free periods. So Mike and I talked it over at length and we decided to give it another go, try a fourth prescription. And I promised, if there was any crazy, or any loss of interest in our married people activities, I'd stop taking it.
In March Doc put me on Junel Fe 1/20 and I loved it. I loved that I didn't gain any weight, in fact, I've lost seven pounds since I started it. I loved that my skin looked amazing, I loved that Mike and I were behaving more like honeymooners than ever. But I didn't love that I was having a full, seven-day, horrible, sick in bed with cramps period in the second week of the pill pack every month. On the fourth week, the week when you're supposed to bleed, I'd spot. A little. I also didn't like the fact that I'm pretty sure I ovulated last month.
Yesterday I went back to the clinic and Doc upped my dosage to Junel Fe 1.5/30, warned me I might feel nauseous, and sent me on my way. And then last night happened. Mike is pretty horrified. I'm not thrilled. But I'm going to take it again today, on the off-chance that maybe tonight, even if I wake up nauseous, I won't throw up. In other words, I'm hoping my body will start to get used to the hormones. Mike thinks if tonight is a repeat of last night, I should stop taking the pill entirely. He doesn't want me to wait a week to see if it gets better, he's concerned it's too toxic for my body.
What do you think, Internet? Have you ever had a similar experience?
UPDATE 6/23/10: Slept through the night, no nausea, no vomiting!! Woo Hoo! So, so, so, so happy. Crossing my fingers that the rest of the month is vomit-free.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) It's not that they were jealous. More like embarrassed.
While Peyton Manning's prodigious offense was scorching scoreboards all of last season, collecting records and accolades by the bundle, Denver's depleted defense was giving up 25 points a game.
Run-stuffer Terrance Knighton, one of just three starters who made it from opening night to the Super Bowl, says the goal in 2014 is to see to it that Manning's high-octane offense is a luxury and not a necessity.
''We just don't want to be that defense that does enough to get by and the offense is putting up 40 points,'' Knighton said. ''We just want to be that defense that goes out there and dominates and be talked about.''
Sort of like Seattle's ''Legion of Boom.''
Their 43-8 loss to the Seahawks is never far from the Broncos' minds.
Even in the weight room, when they start to get frazzled, somebody will holler out, ''35!'' a bitter reference to the number of points that separated them from the Lombardi Trophy after scoring an NFL-record 606 points during the regular season.
They've worked so diligently during offseason workouts that even when coach John Fox gave them a break one day last month they would have none of it.
''Coach gave us off today ..... But the whole defense in the building'' tweeted Knighton.
General manager John Elway revamped his defense in the offseason, adding thumpers in free agency with the signings of pass-rusher DeMarcus Ware, cornerback Aqib Talib and safety T.J. Ward and then using his first-round pick in the NFL draft on cornerback Bradley Roby, giving Denver an edge it sorely lacked at the Meadowlands on Feb. 2.
Also back in the fold are several starters who were sidelined for the Super Bowl: linebacker Von Miller (knee), cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (knee), defensive lineman Derek Wolfe (seizure/illness) and safety Rahim Moore (leg) with run-stuffer Kevin Vickerson working his way back from a dislocated hip.
''The way we looked at it, and the way I always looked at it: When we're in the moment, we're going to compete with the guys we have. `Next man up.' Let's go, let's go get it done,'' defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio said. ''We carried that motto all the way through and had a shot to win a world title. And it didn't happen.
''And what you do is you go back and you retool and regroup and reload and go after it again. And that's where we are. So right now we're putting together a new squad, and we've got some new faces and we're busy at work. That's what this time of year is about.''
The star-studded lineup on this retooled defense is enough to make any Broncos fan giddy, but the players aren't getting ahead of themselves.
''I think last year we made a mistake of just having the guys we had thinking that was enough and not putting in the effort to be great,'' Knighton suggested. ''That's something we're not talking about this year, the talent we have. We just want to go out there and put in the work.''
That said, Knighton can't hide his elation over playing next to Ware, who signed a three-year, $30 million deal in Denver after the Dallas Cowboys released him this spring.
''It's great, because he adds a lot of knowledge,'' Knighton said. ''When you have a guy on your defense who has over 100 and whatever sacks, obviously he has some pointers to help guys.''
Knighton knew he'd be giving up his No. 94 the second Ware signed.
''I have so much respect for the game and guys who have done it really good for a long time,'' said Knighton, who's now sporting No. 98. ''So immediately when we signed him, he texted. I texted him and said, `You know it's yours, but it's going to cost you.'''
Financial terms weren't disclosed.
''Just know it was a little bit more than other guys get just because I felt like I did a really good job in 94,'' Knighton said. ''They are probably going to start making jerseys and stuff, so I told him he'd have to pay for all that and reimburse my mom for the 20 jerseys she bought. It was a pretty penny.''

I'm still a bit awe-struck when either of these amazing critters crosses my path. I'm particularly fond of roadrunners, which, except for the coloration (I was quite disappointed to find that they are not purple.) look astonishingly like their cartoon counterpart. They do not emit a "beep, beep, choinggggg," noise, however, as they scurry through the mesquite in pursuit of lizards, insects and small snakelings. I have never encountered one poised above a pile of ACME birdseed, cleverly coated with magnetic particles to allow a wily coyote to pull the unsuspecting fowl into a cook pot.
I occasionally see a coyote, slinking along a hay field or slipping across a country road. I have seen them within a good ACME rocket roller skate ride of Vista Ridge Mall, apparently undisturbed by the raucous noise of Dallas rush hour traffic speeding by a few yards away.
(By the way, what's the proper pronunciation: ki oat or ki oat ee? Just curious.)
I watched one in a pasture, also near Dallas, one evening, just before dusk dark. He appeared to be enjoying a pleasant game of dance with the rat. He'd peer into the grass, jump high into the air and pounce down on something wriggling through the vegetation. He then tossed a writhing and unfortunate creature into the air, watch where it landed and repeat the process. Playing with its food, no doubt.
Apparently about a thousand coyotes reside within a hundred yards or so of my fishing buddy's back yard. A fire engine, police or rescue vehicle siren can go off in the vicinity and you'd think all the demons of hell had just emerged to bedevil mankind. They do make a racket.
But the last coyote I encountered was during my recent vacation. I was driving from Dallas to South Carolina (a fur piece), and about 10 miles from my mother's house in upstate South Carolina, a lean, bedraggled, hangdog-looking coyote, came slinking down the Interstate, looking as out of place as an octopus in the High Plains.
Come to find out, there's scads of them back east, where they are no doubt helping farmers and ranchers cull out the weak links in their cattle herds and making a mess out of some crop land. I've heard that a coyote will ruin a watermelon patch just taking bites out of the best ones.
Mom said one of her neighbors had recently eliminated a den of coyotes from a patch of woods where I hunted as a boy. No coyotes around back then.
So I was more than a bit interested recently when a news release from Denton County Extension Agent Rebecca Parker came across my desk. Ms. Parker noted that coyote predation is the biggest cause of death for sheep and goats statewide. "And as rural lands are developed, we hear more and more reports of livestock and pet losses to coyotes."
She says if folks wonder what killed a pet or some livestock, the first clue should be the track, which is longer than it is wide. Often, the front two claw marks will be visible on a coyote track but not for a dog.
Also, a coyote most likely will kill an animal with a throat bite; dogs usually attack hindquarters, flanks and head.
Parker says fencing may help prevent coyote predation but may not be economical or effective. "There is probably no economically feasible coyote proof fence," she says.
Guard animals, such as dogs, donkeys, ostriches, emus, llamas and mules may help. Trapping and shooting offer more aggressive solutions. Parker recommends snare traps in Denton County.
She also notes that a new state law allows landowners to capture or kill coyotes or predatory dogs that harass livestock, a fate they could easily avoid if they'd just stay out in the mesquite and harass roadrunners.

The 2011 shootings of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 18 other people in Tucson didn't move the political needle. This summer's shocking massacre of 12 people in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater was scarcely noticed in the halls of Congress. Yet backers of gun control apparently see signs that the blood-spattered halls of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., where 20 young children were killed Friday, will finally horrify and appall our nation's leaders enough to prompt action against the tools of mass murder.
Gun control bills have arisen and been quietly shelved for a decade and a half in Congress, victims of a perception that any attempt to limit firearms amounts to political suicide. That belief arose after a Democratric-controlled Congress approved a 10-year ban on assault weapons in 1994; the Republican Revolution followed, with the gun-hugging GOP taking control of the House for the first time in 40 years and also wresting a majority in the Senate. The ban, of course, wasn't the only reason for that shift, but many Democrats have taken it on faith ever since that gun control is a topic to be avoided.
There may be hope for change. On Sunday, California's Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein said she would introduce an updated version of her 1994 assault weapons ban, which Congress allowed to expire in 2004, on the first day of the new session. President Obama has said he favors such a ban. Congressional opponents of gun control have been unusually silent, perhaps recognizing that putting a higher priority on the desire of collectors to possess military-style weapons than on the lives of children strikes most Americans as twisted.

Wine Sets
Wine sets make for a great Judaica gift item. World of Judaica's collection of wine sets include wine stoppers, wine bottle bags, and other wine accessories. It is an important mitzvah to beautify the Shabbat. Your Shabbat table will look lovely for guests with these stunning items.
After the Kiddush wine blessing is recited, it is customary to drink wine throughout the Shabbat meal. The first cups of wine may be drunk from a single Kiddush cup shared among the family or from a Kiddush fountain that pours wine into multiple cups. The wine bottle resting on the table can be covered in a beautiful wine bottle holder or wine bottle bag. Our wine sets include charming wine bottle bags.
Wine sets are perfect housewarming gifts. Our wine sets include a variety of wine bottle stoppers. The well known Israeli artist Yair Emanuel has designed beautiful wine stoppers with intricate paintings of Jerusalem and pomegranate themes. The bottle stoppers are made of cork and the designs are drawn on a wooden disk. Some designs feature the words 'Shabbat Shalom' in Hebrew.
Wine sets can be made from a range of materials. Wine bottle covers are usually made of cotton and feature a Jerusalem design. These covers will look beautiful on any Shabbat table. Our wine sets are just as exquisite as they are functional. Our sets are meant to aid with storing your wine bottle as well as keeping the wine fresh. Wine is an important part of the Shabbat meal, as it is necessary to say the Kiddush blessing.
Wine sets are important wine accessories to accompany your Shabbat items. When looking for wine sets, make sure to visit our Kiddush cups and Kiddush fountains pages. These Judaica items are great gift ideas for Jewish weddings and Jewish holidays.
Wine Sets Guide
Wine sets are what we use to help decorate our Shabbat dinner tables and enhance the meaningful holiness of the Shabbat Kiddush. These useful items range from the finest and most expensive works of art in gold and sterling silver to the simplest pieces of cloth to elegantly cover your wine bottle. Wine sets useful for Shabbat and holiday Kiddush also include wine cellars, for a more distinguished way of serving your wine, corks to give your wine bottle a Jewish theme, and liquor cups also suitable for Kiddush.
Kiddush Cup Sets
As the act of blessing the wine, Kiddush is one of Shabbat's holiest and most significant moments. Kiddush cup sets represent the finest, most honorary way of performing this privilege. These sets often include a group of several cups for use by all of your esteemed guests and family as well as a base or tray upon which they all sit.
A wide range of decorations are typical in designs for these elegant sets, but most importantly, they always match. Kiddush cup sets from Lily Art for example use her many aesthetic designs to create a feeling of eloquent beauty. All the cups match the patterns of the trays and in these pieces, beauty and usefulness is one and the same.
Bottle Corks
Though often dismissed and rarely thought of as judaica items, corks for wine bottles are often designed with fine decorations of Jewish themes making them additional pieces of Jewish art that will brighten your Shabbat dinner table. Like all other pieces of judaica, artists such as Yair Emanuel have found creative ways of decorating the tops of bottle corks to represent the rich history and culture of the Jewish people. Pomegranates and views of Jerusalem are just two of his favorite images with which to design corks.
Sterling Silver
For the finest available pieces for your wine sets, wine decanters and liquor cups of high quality silver plating and sterling silver are available at World of Judaica. These are pieces to impress any guest, family or friend and will make Shabbat or holiday Kiddush the mitzvah that it is.
Also gracing the pages of World of Judaica as well as Shabbat dinner tables amongst the world's Jewish community are wine coasters. These pieces, most often of fine silver or gold are perfect for the moment in between pouring the wine. No matter what pieces you chose for your home, the wine sets at World of Judaica are a certain bet for aesthetic pleasure and beauty for the holy Kiddush.
For More Information
For more information about Shabbat, Jewish holidays, Kiddush Cups, or any other Judaica items, please feel free to contact our judacia experts with any questions or concerns.

Steelers' coaching turnstile continues
New o-line coach hired; Khan finalist for Seahawks GM job
By Ed Bouchette and Gerry Dulac
The Seattle Seahawks have narrowed their search for a new general manager to two men, including Steelers' executive Omar Khan.
Khan, who has been the team's lead negotiator and salary cap monitor the past nine years, and Floyd Reese are finalists for the job in Seattle. Reese is the former general manager of the Tennessee Titans from 1994 to 2006 and now an advisor for the New England Patriots.
Also, another Steelers defensive coach may be on his way out. Ray Horton, who has coached the secondary the past six years, is a candidate for defensive coordinator at the University of Houston.
Linebackers coach Keith Butler is a candidate for defensive coordinator with the Miami Dolphins and defensive assistant Lou Spanos, a defensive assistant, took a job as linebackers coach with the Washington Redskins.
Earlier today, the Steelers officially announced that former Buffalo Bills offensive line coach Sean Kugler will coach their offensive line, while tKugler is the first new coach Tomlin hired, replacing Larry Zierlein, who was fired. Kugler was part of a Bills coaching staff that was let go after the regular season.
Over the past three seasons, not one coach changed on Mike Tomlin's staff. However, last week Zierlein and special teams coach Bob Ligashesky were fired and quarterbacks coach Ken Anderson retired.
Wide receivers coach Randy Fichtner may become the quarterbacks coach and Tomlin then would be looking to hire someone to coach the wide receivers.

Zine Mobile At RAM
Posted by Josh Jubinsky on March 24, 2010
We'll be seeing you at the Riverside Arts Market this weekend! The Zine Committee will be there via bike with the Zine Mobile in tow. It's a great chance to meet us and talk zine. And you can stock up on your favorite zines, for free of course, with your library card. If you don't have a library card stop by the table and get one – that's free too. Our table is located right across from Bike Jax's valet bike parking. So park that bike you just got tuned up at Zen Cog and come say hello!
Isn't RAM becoming a great place for one-stop shopping of what? I know it's where i get my fresh veggie every weekend. Now it's a place to check out zines from the library. And remember, you can always return library items to any JPL Library.
But what else besides zines? Well we still have some copies of our limited Black Kids zine posters. Even though those are flyin' off the stacks, we'll have some to giveaway at the Art Market. And what's that? We have awesome buttons to give away too? Yes, indeed. See you Saturday.

It was great to see you guys out at RAM today! Thanks for the button, stickers and suggestions on the Zines I was able to go home with. Great idea, to have the mobile Zines at RAM – a perfect match. Hope to see you downtown sometime and I'll bring some more of my minis!
