I've seen a lot of posts stating vast overreactions to the state of the current roster. I've seen posts that state we need 3 new O-linemen, that we need 3 new WRs, and that we need 2 new safeties to go along with 2 or 3 new LBs, 2 new DTs and a new CB, a new RB and a new QB.
SO, basically, we don't have a SINGLE good player on this team. I think otherwise. So, I'm going to run down the roster and try to identify who stays, who goes and who currently on the roster can either keep their starting roles or step into a starting role. After this exercise and ensuing discussion, we should have a BETTER idea as to what positions ACTUALLY have to be filled thru free agency and the draft.
Let's start with the offense.
WR- Dwayne Bowe, Mark Bradley, Will Franklin, and Kevin Robinson
Dwayne Bowe is a legitimate #1 WR in the making and shouldn't be looked at as someone who needs to be replaced. He could very well turn into a #2 WR if the Chiefs get Boldin or Crabtree or Houshmandzadeh, but the Chiefs don't HAVE to go out and find that #1 WR. They would probably better served by finding a less expensive #2 WR. Mark Bradley was the #2 last season and he impressed a lot of people but he fell off dramatically during the second half of the season and could serve as a good #3 in the future. Will Franklin and Kevin Robinson still need time to develop as most late round WRs do and it's probably too soon to tell what they're going to become.
RB- Larry Johnson, Jamaal Charles, Kolby Smith, Jackie Battle
Who knows what the hell is going on with LJ. He's still talented enough to be a great back for a couple more seasons and would probably be more valuable to the team if the Chiefs kept him instead of trying to trade him. All the reasons we want to get rid of him are all the reasons why teams won't give us fair value in a trade. He serves the team better staying as the featured back. Jamaal Charles probably solidified his position as the 3rd down back and #2 back. Kolby Smith will serve this team well as the #3 back if one of the first two were to get hurt. Jackie Battle is probably going to find himself stuck on special teams or the practice squad.
TE- Tony Gonzalez, Brad Cottam, Michael Merritt, Jed Collins
Tony is staying. Again, his value to the team is more as a player than a trade chip. Chances are, he at the very least puts up an average Tony Gonzalez year. Brad Cottam gets another year to learn from TG before becoming the future at that position. The Chiefs are set at TE for the foreseeable future. Michael Merritt probably cost himself a roster spot "over a little weed." So look for the Chiefs to grab another TE at somepoint during the off season. I know NOTHING about Jed Collins. Perhaps he can step into Merritt's role on the team.
LT- Branden Albert, Herb Taylor, Andrew Carnahan
Branden Albert played beyond expectations for a rookie who missed the entire preseason. He has the talent to be the franchise's LT for the next decade or so. However, his versatility and college background gives the Chiefs to option to move him inside or to the other OT position and draft the best available LT at #3. Herb Taylor did enough during his time on the line this season to warrant a look at a starting spot somewhere on the line. I know nothing about Carnahan.
LG- Brian Waters, Wade Smith
Brian Waters is a Pro Bowl OG and will be back for at least another season and possibly two. The Chiefs should find a LG for the future at some point this off season or next. Wade Smith is a good backup guard and should have a roster spot locked down.
C- Rudy Niswanger, Wade Smith
Rudy Niswanger is too big for the C position. This position IS one of the positions on the line that should be upgraded this season. I'd expect the Chiefs to draft or sign a new Center. Wade Smith would probably lose his job as backup to Niswanger.
RG- Adrian Jones, Wade Smith, Tavares Washington
Another position that will change next season. Although, the replacement might be found on the current roster. I'd actually expect Niswanger to take a step to his right and fill this position. His size, build, and talent could be perfect for the guard spot. Wade Smith is a good backup and Washington is probably a non-factor.
RT- Damion McIntosh, Herb Taylor, Barry Richardson
This could actually be one of the deeper positions on the line. McIntosh really came on toward the end of the season and COULD keep his spot. Herb Talyor is knocking on the door and could push for a starting position. Barry Richardson was drafted last season with the thought in mind that HE could be the future at that position. Then, depending on what they want to do with Albert, HE could be at this spot to start the season. I'm not sure the Chiefs will be looking to bring in another player to compete here.
QB- Tyler Thigpen, Quinn Gray, Brodie Croyle, Damon Huard
Your guess is as good as mine here. If Pioli is as good of a talent evaluator as everyone says he is, he'll see that the value we'd have to give up for Cassel isn't nearly worth the difference between he and Thigpen. I doubt the Chiefs trade a pair of firsts for Cassel. Gray was a good back up and should be retained. Croyle would be a cheap, young and talented 3rd QB if no other QB were brought in to compete. Damon Huard probably doesn't have a spot next season.
LE- Tamba Hali, Wallace Gilberry, Turk McBride
Tamba Hali plays good at LE. I doubt they'll look to replace him. I can't see Turk McBride staying on the team. He just hasn't done enough. I know nothing about Gilberry.
LT- Tank Tyler, Alfonso Boone
Tank is developing nicely and I think the Chiefs got a steal in the 3rd, drafting this guy. Alfonso Boone is a good rotational player and he'll have a roster spot.
RT- Glenn Dorsey Ron Edwards, Derek Lokey
Everyone is freaking out about Dorsey and worrying that he could be Ryan Sims part Deux. That's not the case. Dorsey is going to be a great DT. The problem with him and Tyler going forward is that the Chiefs may not keep the 4-3 and that might spell doom for both players. Edwards is a good rotational player and should have a roster spot next season. I don't know much about Lokey other than he was above average at Texas.
RE- Jason Babin, Andy Studebaker, Brian Johnston
Jason Babin really surprised some people last season and may have won a roster spot going into next season. Although, I seriously doubt he'll be looked at as THE starting LDE. I don't know enough about Studebaker and Johnston to be able to give an informed opinion.
LOLB- Demarrio Williams, Curtis Gatewood
Williams needs to be a backup and the Chiefs need to fill their linebacking positions through free agency.
MLB- Pat Thomas Weston Dacus
See above
ROLB- Derrick Johnson
Johnson is the only good LB the Chiefs have on their team. Since being drafted 15th overall, he has underachieved. This season is going to be a huge year for him as it pertains to his future as a Chief.
LCB- Brandon Carr, Pat Surtain, Maurice Leggett
Brandon Carr and Maurice Leggett did enough last season to be considered for a starting position next season. Look for Pat Surtain to be released.
RCB- Brandon Flowers
Starter.... for a WHILE
SS- Bernard Pollard, DaJuan Morgan
Personally, I like Pollard. His mistakes seem to be basic. If he can figure out how to wrap up, I think we've got a SS for a long time.
FS- Jarrad Page, DaJuan Morgan, Jon McGraw
I wouldn't be surprised to see Page come back. But, I also wouldn't be surprised to see Morgan become the new FS.
The way I see it, the Chiefs NEED only a few players from free agency and the draft, while any other players they bring in would be considered upgrades and would render the players they replace as depth... WHICH IS A GOOD THING!!
This is how I see the roster:
FA/D= Free Agent/Draft
QB- Thigpen
RB- Johnson
TE- Gonzalez
WR- Bowe, FA/D, Bradley
LT-Albert or D
LDE-Tamba Hali/Jason Babin
So, as far as in players the Chiefs NEED to bring in, they really just NEED five players to complete the starting squad (excluding depth). We need a RDE, ROLB, MLB, #2 WR and a Center. The rest of the team CAN be filled through players already on the team.

Case IH has again reset the standards for what's possible in harvesting technology. Cotton producers will have the option of building modules on-board their cotton picker, improving both equipment and labor efficiencies, thanks to the latest evolution from harvesting industry leader Case IH.
"Case IH cotton pickers already can pick more cotton with our two-sided picking system, and we want to make customers even more productive by streamlining the module building process," says Trent Haggard, director of Case IH global marketing for the cotton industry. The Case IH Module Express 625 is the first commercial cotton picker with the ability to build modules while harvesting.
Growers and gins emphasized the importance of the modules working within existing systems to maximize productivity, and the 8-foot tall by 8-foot wide by 16-foot long "half" modules require no modifications to existing systems, Haggard notes.
The module-building feature attracts attention, but this machine is the total package, Haggard says "It has the power to handle picking in the toughest conditions, the productivity of our proven two-sided picking design, monitors providing total systems overviews from spindles to module builder, and matched tank capacities to handle long 14-hour harvest days." This is the most efficient cotton-harvesting package available.
"The Case IH Module Express design started as a collaboration with growers and ginners - a lot of people in the industry have contributed to the development of this machine," Haggard says. "We've changed for the better the way cotton will be handled from picker to gin."
Reduce labor and equipment
"The first question I'm always asked is 'Can I get rid of my boll buggy and separate module builder?" Haggard says. "With the Case IH Module Express 625 picker, it's one man, one machine for cotton harvest and module building, so you reduce your equipment and labor investment dramatically."
The cotton is picked at the same pace as a traditional 6-row picker, but with the Module Express design modules form simultaneously It takes less time to unload a 10,000-pound module than to empty 10,000 pounds of cotton from a traditional basket. "It's an extremely efficient process," Haggard says.
Gin friendly
Another common question relates to ginning. "The modules themselves average 10,000 pounds in an 8-foot by 8-foot by 16-foot format," Haggard says. "As you'll note by the dimensions, the modules are the same height and width but half the length of a standard module, so other than tarps, they require no alterations in the ginning process."
They are purposely sized to maximize gin-feeding rates without adding any contamination. "In the past 30 years we've looked at modules of various shapes and sizes, similar to large hay bales, but they required changes in the handling and ginning infrastructure. These don't," Haggard says.
"During the most recent six years of testing we've successfully run thousands of Case IH modules through gins across the Cotton Belt, from North Carolina through California," Haggard says. "They've been incredibly well-received."
Productive features
Part of the reason for the success at the gin is the consistency of the modules. "The Case IH Module Express 625 features the Automatic Intelligent Auger Packing System, a patented, first in the industry innovation," Haggard says. "Using a system of sensors and augers, cotton is automatically moved as the module is being compressed. The system is fine-tuned to create consistent, domed modules for excellent weatherability and ginning."
The Module Express 625 is equipped to help operators stage modules for efficient loading. Monitors track percent full, module weight and bales per acre to plan drop-off points around the field that are easily accessed by the gin's module trucks.
Power for the unit is supplied by an upsized version of the proven engine featured in the Case IH Cotton Express 620 picker. The new 9.0-liter engine packs 365 horsepower. "It has plenty of muscle to pick, pack and power the Module Express 625," Haggard says. "And, like all Case IH engines, you can use some of your soybean crop to fuel the harvest. We're factory filling these with a B5 biodiesel blend at our Benson, Minn., plant," he notes.
Proven picking efficiency
The focus on productivity extends to the picking design. "Using our patented two-sided picking system means picking from both sides of the row to put more of the cotton into the module. The tougher the conditions the better the two-sided approach works. Field tests prove we can harvest an average of 3.4 percent more of the crop than the competition on the first pass. "You've already grown it, so you might as well get paid for it," Haggard says.
Special attention was paid to make sure the new Module Express pickers are balanced from a weight and floatation standpoint. Like the Cotton Express 620, 500/95-32 duals are used up front, but the rear tires are upgraded to a bigger 23.5-26 tire standard providing a larger footprint.
"Our longer chassis also contributes to balance, and combined with an engine with plenty of power and a three-speed hydrostatic transmission that's all-wheel-drive all the time, you get a great mudder," Haggard says. "You're not going to be dragging your rear axle around."
Like our newest Cotton Express designs, easy serviceability is built-in. With the touch of a button you can hydraulically spread any picking drum for service. All the components are very easy to inspect and keep properly maintained.
"During harvest, time is critical, so the Module Express features water, lube and fuel tank capacities to accommodate 14-hour harvest days. And, when moving from field to field the Module Express 625 will convert to and from transport mode in less than 10 minutes," Haggard says.
Case IH has taken the most efficient design on the market to the next level with on-board module building technology in the Module Express 625 cotton picker. "We're delighted and proud to again be a pioneer in the industry," Haggard adds. "It's absolutely in keeping with our heritage that we were able to make this contribution. We designed and manufactured the first mechanized cotton harvester in 1943, and our goal always has been to enhance the profitability of cotton farmers' and custom harvesters' operations."
Case IH is a global leader in agricultural equipment. With headquarters in the United States, Case IH has a network of dealers and distributors that operates in over 160 countries. Case IH provides agricultural equipment systems, flexible financial service offerings and parts and service support for professional farming operations through a dedicated network of professional dealers and distributors. Productivity enhancing products include tractors; combines and harvesters; hay and forage equipment; tillage tools; planting and seeding systems; sprayers and applicators; and site-specific farming tools.

Scoring the first three goals of the afternoon, host Penn Charter led the whole way in last Thursday's Pa. Independent Schools Tournament opener, but visiting Hill School hung around for quite awhile before the Quakers wrapped up a 16-10 victory.
Building a 7-5 halftime edge into a 10-5 advantage early in the second period, PC saw the visiting Blues close back within a single goal at 10-9 with 14 minutes still to play. Senior Molly Pighini scored back-to-back goals in a 40-second span to ignite a 6-0 run for the home team.
In the Independent Schools bracket, the two squads were one seed apart, with PC (7-8 overall) getting the nod for the eighth seed largely because of a 13-5 head-to-head victory over Hill (7-10) at the start of the season. The Quakers' second victory over the Blues last week earned them a second-round meeting with top-seeded Episcopal Academy, which received a bye for the opening round.
Charter came into Thursday's game fresh off a disappointing Inter-Ac League finale. On the road two days earlier, the Quakers hung in for a half but then saw host Agnes Irwin pull away smartly to win, 22-12.
The PC players knew Thursday's encounter with Hill wouldn't be a cakewalk. Both teams had suffered a number of injuries early in the season, so you couldn't draw too many conclusions from games at the start of the schedule. While PC finished up with a 4-8 record in the Inter-Ac, Hill placed second in the Mid-Atlantic Prep League by virtue of a 13-12 loss to champion Lawrenceville School.
"Hill was definitely playing better later on than when we played them back in March," said PC assistant coach Tori Small, a Penn Charter alum and former head coach of the Quakers. "We saw that they had some close scores against good teams like Germantown Friends and Friends Central."
Still, the coaching staff wasn't going to dial up the pressure on their players for the Indy tournament opener.
"It's so late in the season, it's a fun time of the year, and it's a fun tournament to be in," Small said. "We tried to keep it light in practice and just have them enjoy being around one another and enjoy playing as a team as the school year winds down."
The Quakers and their fans enjoyed the opening stages of Thursday's tournament opener, as senior Emma Ebert, junior Leigh Steinberg, and sophomore Avery Shoemaker all scored in the first six minutes. Hill got on the board with senior Hilary Yoh's free-position bounce shot a little under eight minutes into the action, then PC's Pighini traded goals with the Blues' Kathleen Carmichael as the score seesawed to 4-2.
Kelly Kubach, a Charter senior who signed with the University of Michigan last fall, assisted a marker by Shoemaker and then scored one of her own off of a pass in transition from Ebert.
That made it 6-2 in the hosts' favor with under eight minutes to go in the period, but Hill regrouped to secure three of the last four goals in the first half, setting the score at 7-5 for the intermission. At this point, PC starting goalie Maddie Mahoney (seven saves) turned over the cage to senior keeper Allison Rogers, who missed a number of games this spring after she suffered a concussion.
In the initial four minutes of the second stanza, Ebert, freshman Hannah Fox, and Kubach all put the ball in the back of the Blues' cage for a 10-5 tally, but Hill School wasn't going to submit passively. As the clock ran down between 19:16 and 14:08 remaining, the Blues put together a four-goal spurt, making it a one-goal game at 10-9 and forcing a Penn Charter time-out.
The Quakers responded well to the sideline lecture by head coach Channing Weymouth, driving hard to goal as the visitors obligingly committed fouls. Pighini's pair of free-position goals at 12:51 and 12:10 put PC on more solid footing, and Charter kept on rolling until the count reached 16-9. Rogers, who seemed a little shaky when she first took over in goal, got her bearings and came up with some tough saves to contribute to the stretch of unanswered goals for the host team. She finished with 10 saves.
With 1:42 on the clock, the last goal of the day was scored by Hill School's Yoh, completing a personal hat trick. Elizabeth Sitko led the Blues with four goals and Elizabeth Cossel added two.
The winners got four goals apiece from Pighini and Shoemaker, three from Kubach (one assist), two each from Ebert (one assist) and Steinberg, and one from Fox.

The Practical Solutions to Everyday Challenges
Do you ever wish you could be more productive, effective and organized and achieve greater success from your efforts? Do you often think about how you can improve your relationships with your family, friends or co-workers? What if you could have the tools to create a happier, more confident, more successful life?
The Secrets to a More Successful and Happy Life
Personal Efficiency Course Overview
The Personal Efficiency Course is comprised of eight sections containing short films that illustrate each concept and accompanying interactive exercises for a complete understanding and application.
Section 1. On What Does Success Depend?
Is it who you know? Personal charm? Education? Hard work? Interest level? Personal ability? Or is it just plain luck? In truth, real success can best be achieved through the knowledge and the application of the practical tools in this first section. They can be applied immediately to bring about greater security, competence and efficiency in work and everyday life. Find out more
Section 2. Confusion
Confusion is uncertainty. Learn the real source of confusion and gain the ability to handle any situation with certainty. Discover how to bring order to any confused circumstance or environment. Find out more
Section 3. The Anatomy of Control
What is control? It's the "secret" to efficiency. You will learn the three component parts of control that enable you to use and understand control, and how it relates to every activity in life. Plus, you will have the ability to distinguish between "good control" and "bad control" and learn how to maximize your efficiency for accelerated success. Find out more
Section 4. Affinity, Reality and Communication
How do you improve relationships? How do you effectively explain your ideas to people? How can you accomplish your goals? Creating, understanding and improving relationships hinge on three things: Affinity, Reality and Communication (A-R-C). Master these powerful fundamentals and increase your understanding of people, work, and every aspect of life. Find out more
Section 5. A-R-C and the Tone Scale
How does one deal with puzzling and unpredictable emotions? It can seem impossible to predict if someone will be truthful or untrustworthy, helpful or antagonistic. Emotions are categorized into a multiple-level Tone Scale and range from Apathy to Enthusiasm. Knowing A-R-C and identifying where a person is on the Tone Scale is the best possible way to predict future behaviors. Take the mystery out of people's behavior and learn this vital tool. Find out more
Section 6. The Eight Dynamics
The basic command, "survive," which is obeyed by all of life, is subdivided into eight compartments so that each aspect of life can be more easily understood. These compartments are called the Eight Dynamics (dynamic meaning urge, drive or impulse). We are all trying to survive as long as possible and attain the most desirable state imaginable. By understanding the parts of life and their relationship to each other, you can not only survive, but thrive at an optimum level for a more fulfilling life experience. You can create a life truly lived. Find out more
Section 7. Exhaustion

Here you will discover the exact cause of exhaustion and processes that truly combat it, giving you the vibrancy, endurance and vitality to take on the world. Find out more
Section 8. The One Who Succeeds
How can a person who is both able and intelligent still not succeed in life? They lack the essential tools that allow them to achieve a solid foundation upon which stability and certainty are built. The keys to success are revealed in this section. You will gain the practical knowledge you need to achieve success in work and everyday life—it's what Scientology is all about. Find out more

CRESTVIEW � With the new school year�s start, Northwood and Riverside Elementary Schools and Shoal River Middle School will have new principals. Two of the principals will transfer to Crestview from out of state, while current Edwins Elementary School Principal Cheree Davis will move to Shoal River.
CRESTVIEW � With the new school year�s start, Northwood and Riverside Elementary Schools and Shoal River Middle School will have new principals.
Two of the principals will transfer to Crestview from out of state, while current Edwins Elementary School Principal Cheree Davis will move to Shoal River.
Okaloosa County School District Superintendant Mary Beth Jackson said she is "very excited" about the potential the new principals bring to Crestview schools.
At the school year�s end, teachers and principals throughout the district often request new assignments for various reasons. "It starts a domino effect," Jackson said.
Shoal River principal Paul Whiddon requested to return to his previous assignment at Ruckel Middle School in Niceville, Jackson said.
Marline Van Dyke, current Riverside principal, requested to be transferred to a school closer to her south county home, Jackson said.
Northwood Elementary principal Jacqueline Craig requested a transfer as principal or an assistant principal to another Crestview elementary school, Jackson said.
New principals
With 25 years as an educator, new Northwood principal Dr. Donna Goode has helmed Owens Cross Roads Elementary School in Huntsville, Ala., for 14 years.
"She took the school from a D to an A in one year," Jackson said. "She's been a nominee for the National Elementary School Principal of the Year."
Construction has begun at Northwood as the school becomes a fine and performing arts center, Jackson said, and Goode aid the transition.
"She's just a very humble, sweet person," Jackson said. "I think she's going to be amazing for that school."
Tammy Matz, a 12-year principal at Virgil Grissom Middle School in Mishawaka, Ind., will assume Riverside Elementary�s top job.
"She is full of energy," Jackson said. "They have already gone through the whole common core curriculum piece and we have not. She is going to be very valuable."
"I'mexcited to work with the teachers from Riverside Elementary to provide the students with a safe, engaging, educational experience that will help each student meet their academic potential," Matz said in an email.
Becoming Shoal River�s principal allows Cheree Davis to shorten her commute to across her hometown of Crestview.
"She is so excited about being close to home," Jackson said. "Middle school is her first love and she is so excited to be back in that. She is a very dynamic and a smart woman."
Different viewpoint
A committee within the school district administration selected the new Crestview principals. The school district lacks a large applicant pool to select from, so the search allowed candidates from outside the district.
Jackson refrained from involvement until after the committee made its recommendations, which she took to the school board.
Bringing in new educators can offer a different point of view that can be healthy for a school, she said.
"Sometimes we go outside (the district) and it just so happens that these people applied," Jackson said.
"I didn't get to meet them until after the committee made their decision. After meeting them, I can see why the committee picked them.
"It's going to be kind of weird because some of these people will be completely new to us. But I am excited about the opportunities a new viewpoint brings."

Former New South Wales premier Morris Iemma will be the first witness to give evidence at what is expected to be one of the nation's most explosive corruption inquiries.
On Monday Geoffrey Watson, counsel assisting the Independent Commission Against Corruption, will deliver the opening address for the second of three inquiries into serious allegations of corruption involving former Labor ministers.
Operation Jasper, which is expected to run for several months, will examine the circumstances surrounding a decision made in 2008 by the then mining minister Ian Macdonald to open a mining area in the Bylong Valley for coal exploration.
The commission will investigate whether that decision was influenced by former Labor powerbroker Eddie Obeid .
The first witness, Mr Iemma, will start giving evidence at 10am on Tuesday. He will be followed by another former premier, Nathan Rees, who is currently the shadow police minister. Next on the list will be former planning minister Frank Sartor.
The evidence of the three senior ALP figures, who are assisting the corruption commission, has been the subject of much speculation. Just how frank the trio might be is causing some trepidation within Labor ranks.
Mr Rees's premiership came to an end in late 2009. His fate was sealed when months earlier he forced both Joe Tripodi and Mr Macdonald from the cabinet.
"Should I not be Premier by the end of this day," Mr Rees famously said on December 3, 2009, "let there be no doubt in the community's mind, no doubt, that any challenger will be a puppet of Eddie Obeid and Joe Tripodi."
In September 2008, Mr Macdonald invited companies to apply for 11 coal exploration licences being opened up in NSW.
Fairfax Media has previously revealed that several licences were awarded to a $1 company run by a 36-year-old Bankstown mortgage broker, Andrew Kaidbay, who had no experience in the resources industry.
Mr Kaidbay is an associate of both Mr Tripodi and the Obeid family, and was the director of three resource companies in which the Obeids' majority shareholding was hidden via a nominee company.
The commission will also examine whether the decision to open the area in the Bylong Valley to mining was influenced by Mr Obeid and if confidential information regarding the tender process was given to people associated with the successful bidder, Cascade Coal.
Fairfax Media recently revealed that one of Mr Macdonald's closest friends, Greg Jones, was a secret investor in Cascade Coal.
The Obeid family paid $3.65 million for a farm in the Bylong Valley, about 80 kilometres east of Mudgee, nine months before the tender opened. Mr Obeid's son Moses encouraged associates to buy other properties in the area, telling them, "we can't be seen to be buying them all".
Those who did buy farms included Justin Kennedy Lewis, a long-time associate of Moses Obeid, and accountant John Campo, whose major clients are the property-developing Triulcio brothers, Ross and Rocco.
The Triulcios and the Obeids have been close business associates for years. The two families had a starring role at the corruption commission this week.
The Triulcios struggled to explain why they had paid $44,800 for a new Honda for their sister Nata Re. But before Mrs Re had ever set eyes on the car it was re-sold to former Labor treasurer Eric Roozendaal for only $34,000. The Obeids paid the $10,800 shortfall.
Mr Roozendaal will sit as an independent in State Parliament having been suspended from the ALP in the wake of allegations raised at the ICAC that Mr Roozendaal's car deal was a reward for favours done for Eddie Obeid - an allegation both men denied.
John Cherry, a tax adviser to the late Kerry Packer, is also on next week's witness list. In November 2007, Mr Cherry sold his 624 hectare property Cherrydale Park, with its sweeping gardens and an artificial lake, to the Obeid family company Locaway.
Also on next week's witness list are Justin Lewis, the Triulcio brothers and John Campo.

Optimus Primavera Porto
That massive PS12 thread is unmanageable and mostly focused on Barca. This is for Porto bound team.
Press conference in an hour - some new names. If we get the Rapture and Japandroids from Barca I'll be chuffed - line up is already looking incredible value for the 70 euro I paid
i think there are enough bands to warrant the ticky price already. finding an apartment is proving difficult mind.
Porto doesn't really seem to be geared up for apartments in the way Barca is
We found a good place on airbnb but the owner was fannying around 'Oh my mum might be coming that weekend!' DON'T FUCKING LIST IT THEN!
I think it'll be a strong lineup
there's no way they won't have managed to convince a bunch of the Barca artists to stay in Europe for an extra week.
but this can be the press conference thread.
Praying for Japandroids, The Field, Death Grips and Real Estate from the Primavera lineup.Jordan_229_2 this'd this
I will be paying close attention to proceedings.
Hoping for some of the following from the Barca line up
A$AP Rocky
Danny Brown
Demdike Stare
Forest Swords
Harvey Milk
The Pop Group
Thee Oh Sees
John Talabot
I would've had them right up there but saw them last November
Stunning live band, whatever you think of them on record.
aye, saw them at supersonic
WUD C AGENTheSoundofBastards this'd this
Really want to go to this
but struggling to find any affordable flights from London given I have to come back on the Sunday.
I'm going via Madrid - cheaper than straight to Porto
Though think I booked the last cheap Madrid to Porto flights
Think I'm going to get the train down from Paris and go through Northern Spain
People have told me I need to go to Bilbao, San Sebastian and Burgos, so seems like a good excuse. I bloody love Madrid though, might try and go that way too.
been to Bilbao and burgos
both great places for a day or two.
Not sure how credible this is, but seems pretty legit.
After seeing them at Barca last year, not sure I can be bothered with the flaming lips again
- LordLuciusBanter and fiddygent this'd this
Their tweeting leaves something to be desired
Here is a picture of the people talking on a bench! LOL
Atlas Sound and Lee Ranaldo
So far, so 'a bit meh'.
Demdike Stare and Thee Oh Sees!
This is getting better.
YES! John Talabot.
*fist pump*
*METAL HORNS*TheSoundofBastards and Jordan_229_2 this'd this
War on Drugs!
No Refused, Richard Hawley or Wedding Present
So there's going to be two stages bang next to each other
and no stages with the sea in the background :(
Sort of an odd layout...?
So the two main stages are next to one another? Will they literally have one on - one off running all day? I think reading did that one year and it's always seemed like a great idea to me.
The ATP stage looks like it'll be nice and leafy.
That looks lovely
I like the alternating main stage idea. Just hope the sound doesn't bleed too much for the other stages.
not bad, but surely there's more to come?
still holding out hope for Japandroids.
It was Japandroids and Refused that I was really hoping for.
Now I will have to consider a day ticket to Reading if Refused play there.
translated form the official forum..

Just bought tickets and flights for this!
Where is everyone staying?
What is best DiS
I am selling a ticket for this for under face value.
Can't go anymore due to work/friend's plans changing, so if anyone wants a ticket for £75 (paid €105 for it which is about £85 I guess) send us a PM. Selling for slightly under face value as I need to get rid of it.
Bump to counteract the tyranny of the San Miguel Barca edition
Excited, the first day is literally ridiculous
On one such trip to Portugal, author Tom Lloyd commented *This is a truly heroic beer, that does justice to a truly heroic nation*.
Also has anyone got the app?
It's full on top notch
damn blackberries for being so shit-
cant install it. anyway the word from the atp people who have been out to the Porto site is that its really mega nice and obviously much more intimate. can't wait to get there.
App is ace!
just decided to go to this on a whim a few days ago.
Got a hotel in the centre of porto, but I guess there will be regular busses to the park? Also does anyone know what time the days start etc. I have only been to leeds festival a few times so don't know how much it will differ,which i hope it does alot.
Only found out the other day
that Optimus is a Portugese phone company that's sponsoring it. Do you reckon they went with them for the pun oppurtunity?
Don't think so...
but it ain't that Optimus anymore... without Bjork, i mean...
Gabi said on the Prima forum
that stage times for Porto will be announced on Monday!
i'll await it with a mix of excitement
and apprehension regarding clashes
CLASHPREHENSIONWHISKEY_KITTENS this'd this
Booked a hotel yesterday
Properly close to Casa da Música. It works out at under 20 quid a day each. With breakfast. SUPERMAGIC.
cheers, please do keep me abreast of your thoughts
Perhaps you have a newsletter I can subscribe to?
- j0hn, OceanStorm, and svenrokk this'd this
that's the worst one
though Yo La Tengo and The War On Drugs is a bit of a pisser too. YLT are one of my favourite bands but I've seen them 3 or 4 times and never seen TWOD so it'll be a tough call.
Can at least watch a bit of YLT then WOD
I don't think the site is going to be massiveOceanStorm this'd this
shit, you're right
gonna have to sell my ticket nowTillance and LordLuciusBanter this'd this
singling out the gay performer eh
Why are The Walkmen on so late?
Can't see The Flaming Lips playing from half 9 till about half 12. They should put The Walkmen on a bit earlier to avoid the clash.
the flaming lips have about half an hour between each song
so it could take that long
cmon mother fuckers come on!

Pretty surprised/glad there's not more clashes. Bit gutted about The Walkmen/Beach House, but the latter definitely wins. Line up looks great written down like that too.
- duncaniw, LordLuciusBanter, and cronenberg this'd this
- svenrokk, aboynamedgoo, and petec this'd this
ClashVillle / ClashZilla
War on drugs v Yo La Tengo
Wilco v Shellac
m83 v Thee Oh Sees
Plenty of half watched sets ahoy. Last day could have used a bit more oomph too.
Have to say
looking at that line up (once you've taken clashes out of the equation), and considering that there's going to be a lot less people cramming to see that line up, this looks much better than Barcelona this year. Will probably try it next year but knowing my luck they'll probably double the capacity and price! Think the Porto bound folk are genuinely in for an AMAZING festival! *jealous*
My tickets and flights cost as much as a Barca ticket alone
Exceptional value
Does anyone have any idea how you get into Mangum/OTC?
Is it just gonna be a free for all, or some portal based shit
going through a portal sounds fun
that's some Northern Lights shit right there.Matt_was_taken this'd this
Tickets to be collected on Saturday
Limited to 2 per person, I believe. I hope they use the "old" Barcelona Auditori system (buying a ticket for 1 euro from the on-site box office) and not that rubbish web-portal.
This is pretty soon
Where is everybody staying? My apartment is called THE HOUSE OF THE WHALE which is pretty metal
Sky Hostel I think?
Which is in the centre so a bit of a walk away from the site, anyone know what times the metro runs?
Line A
First train: 6 AM
Last train: 1 AM
The metro runs every 10 mins (every 15 mins before 7 AM and after 8PM)
There is also a night bus: line 1M
One every hour, starting at 0:25 AM, last bus at 5:25 AM
- OceanStorm this'd this
In a hotel within walking distance from the festival site
A flat about 1km from the site
I've checked it out on street view and the area looks a bit grim. There's a supermarket really close though.
In the centre, miles away
think it's near casa de musica so will be good for the sunday at least
Yeah ours is in the Old Town
I want a holiday not just a festival
not sure what ours is called
but it's in the city centre somewhere. Which is good I think, will make it easy to see the city during the day and it shouldn't be too hard to and from to the festival site based on those metro/bus times. The excitement's definitely cranking up now for me.
just looked this up
brilliant. Can't wait to have one of those with a Francescinha.
worrying amount of bands cancelling these fests
half wonder if they're being encouraged to.
Don't think Stephen Ireland plays for EITS
Cancelled due to a "serious family problem"
Yeah because Bjork losing her voice,
One of El-P's family dying and what sounds like similar for EITS is 'encouragement' for cancellation. It's just unfortunate and tragic more than anything.
reeeeeeeeally gutted about this
one of the bands I was most looking forward to
Hope they still play latitude
- aboynamedgoo this'd this
My main worry is getting too fucked, and missing Thee Oh Sees.
Note to self....... Pace yourself.
Was on the Porto Metro site last night checking route from the airport
They had a section on the festival - the trains will be running an hour later and starting an hour earlier for the festival - so finish at 2 start at 5cahill this'd this
Also has anyone else noticed with the Porto Metro
That every stop seems to be on every line?
I'm so eager that I'm already in Portugal
It's alright so far, not tried any #superbock yet.
Are you already in Porto?
if you have the opportunity try to explore other places of the north of Portugal. It has very beautiful places. Or, as a more practical possibility, you can make a cruising along the Douro River.
no, in Lisbon at the moment
Liking it so far. Getting to Porto on Wednesday.
I'm going to buy my holiday money in the next half an hour so it would be really useful to know.
not sure if i can go
dude, how come?
in other news, have we all noticed that Mercury Rev have replaced EITS? Doesn't quite make up for it, but at least it's something. Hopefully they'll just play all of Deserter's Songs and not their dull-as new stuff.
no i hadnt
work stuff. someone shoulda been back from maternity, they aint come back, and we're swamped with work. plus i haven't rebooked my flight yet post-cancellation
ah, that's properly shit
hope it works out for you.
(had my first superbock last night)
Is drinking in the streets as normal as it is in Barcelona? What about on public transport? I'm not gonna be all lads on tour rolling round pissed up in the streets, but having a couple of estrella limons on the way to the site in Barcelona was an amazing way to start.
Saturday night in Lisbon was a huge outdoor drinkfest
thanks to the glorious weather.
Some people seem to buy cans from cornershops, but most just order a cheap beer in one of the many little bars and then clog the streets. Not too sure about drinking on public transport; the few times I've used it no one was drinking, but this was always during the day time.
Sweet, cheers.
I think the way my flat is located, I can have a stroll with a beer to the right metro line, or get on one by my door and change over. Also, it looks like a short walk from the metro stop to the park entrance.
If you're over 16 you can drink/buy everywhere
Portugal has several major brands of beer, though the two most popular, found nationwide, are Sagres and Superbock.
Both these brands offer a range of beers including non-alcoholic varieties and dark ("preta") versions.
There are two ways to order beer in cafes and restaurants - by the bottle ("garrafa") or draught ("imperial" in Lisbon & South and "fino" in the north). To get a large glass of beer order a "caneca".
The cheapest beer can be purchased in some local stores and supermarkets (Minipreço, Pingo Doce, Continente, ...) where you can buy a SB'10-pack for 6 euros (60 cents per bottle), just as example.
Does anyone know what time gates open on Thurs?
Also, what's the deal with the Jeff Mangum gigs? Do you just turn up at the Casa Da Musica or do you get tickets in advance somehow?
Where to pick up tickets?
Is it like Barcelona when picking up tickets of having a place in the centre of town a couple of days before and then opening the site up early on the first day to collect?
Also transport seems more complicated than Barca. They have a plastic card thing that is reusable and also various zones. The airport needs zone 1-4 any ideas about what zones the site is in? I was hoping to get a 10 trip pass like in Barcelona but don't think they do that.
Zone 3
The metro stop is called Matosinhos-Sul, 10 mins walk from the entrance to the festival site.
Had a look and that's on the blue line and quite a few stops it seems. I wonder if it's quicker taking a bus from the city centre?

thanks for this
flying today, exciting times!
could anyone hazard a guess at when you'd have to get to the site on Saturday
to pick up Jeff Mangum tickets?
Don't want to miss out but don't want to get there too early.
bit last minute
But would anyone be up for a meat?
I'll be arriving in Porto in exactly 2 hours. PM me your contact details, or something.
if someone names a time/place for a DiS meat
I'll do my best to be there!
I've no idea where (at the festival site probably)
Probably tomorrow night. Pm me your number and I can give you a text or something?
or should that be negative? either way, no i'm not. seriously depressed.
meet up with aboynamedgoo cos he's ace
Terrible start
Just got to the bloody hotel and they say they have no record of my booking. I showed them email print out, email on netbook and even logged into booking.com at the desk to show them. Just got shrugged at and told no rooms. They speak no English and respond to every poor attempt at talking with 'no room'. I booked in February! If I'm being cynical it might be because they could get more money from a later booking...
So now I'm in a room after they moved me to one but gave the impression of not being able to stay 4 nights. so how long I'm here for I do not know. If anyone has a spare bed I would be very grateful as I may need it!
Well I'm off t pick up wristband soon. The night buses look very good. If I read right there one every 5 mins through the night

Porto Primavera review
I was looking for one and couldn't find any, so wrote my own here:
Having been to Primavera in Barcelona in 2011 and 2012..
I am wondering if I should change things a bit and go to Porto 2013 as Blur would be a lovely treat. Any advice? I found the sort of "empty" atmosphere of Primavera 2012 on the Saturday night a bit odd (the Friday night was far busier - seems Spaniards really like The Cure!) - would Porto be "empty" feeling for the whole weekend?
The site is smaller so I wouldn't have thought so.
This year it didn't feel too empty (or overcrowded). It's also grassier so feels less, um, industrial?
Last day for 80 euros tickets is Monday. From tuesday, tickets are 110 euros!
I'm thinking 'Fuck it' and i'll get a ticket on the weekend.
fix attempt two?
A 40 euro jump from when tickets first went on sale at 70, and they've only announced one act :/ I trust them to deliver an amazing line up, I just hope it gets announced a bit quicker, before they raise the prices so much that it puts a lot of people off.
the Blur effect. They'll get high local ticket sales because of them being exclusive.
don't bother
i'm a little drunk but...
the city is nice, but the barcelona version is SO much better.
alright, there were loads of cancellations (can't be helped), a terrible queuing system (x2) for jeff mangum and loads more corporate sponsors, but it's generally got a worse line-up...
post for Gabi on headliner clues
'The total number of letters contained in the names of the headliners is 33.
The quantity of components of female sex between the headliners is one or none.'
So, Blur is done, 29 characters left.
Nick Cave And the Bad Seeds + Daft Punk = 30
So either Gabi miscalculated or one of the rumours I'd heard is wrong. (Or Daft Punk aren't a headline act.)

1/3 cup honey (To make it vegan substitute maple syrup)
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs cinnamon

Consumer watchdog branches out
From the coverage of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, it might look like the agency is bogged down in an endless series of fights over who should run it.
But while Washington focuses on the confirmation battle of Richard Cordray, the watchdog agency is quietly moving right along — branching out into regulating new parts of the financial sector, from inaccurate credit scores, to inflexible student loan repayment plans, to deceptive marketing and payday lenders that can trap consumers with low income in a cycle of ever-growing debt.
Story Continued Below
The agency already has unveiled a series of seven mortgage rules in January, mandated by the Dodd-Frank financial reform law that created the agency, including one that requires lenders to make sure customers can actually repay their mortgages.
And while the agency has avoided any major public flaps and hasn't given critics much fodder, some observers say it is facing a more day-to-day issue: growing pains.
( Also in POLITICO Pro Policy Magazine: Why Republicans still run K Street)
The bureau is starting to face charges that it's sending out financial examiners who are disorganized, giving mixed messages to industries that could face new regulation and not being clear about what the examiners expect — the kinds of problems that could hamper its goals.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has complained, for example, that its members have found the examinations to be "confusing, unnecessarily duplicative, inconsistent and open-ended." That issue could create more tension in the coming months if it's not fixed, since several of the next consumer issues on its agenda are likely to be handled through examinations, not new regulations.
There's also a growing demand, shared by Republicans and some of the leading financial groups, for more specifics about what's next for the bureau and what standards it plans to impose on the financial community.
"One of the oversight problems is getting a handle on what they're actually doing," said Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), chairman of the House Financial Services Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee.
The reality, though, is that there isn't likely to be a lot of detail anytime soon — because the bureau is in more of a studying phase at this time, hitting "pause" on the regulatory button, now that it has finished issuing the mortgage rules.
( PHOTOS: 18 defining Obama moments)
In the eyes of some industry groups, it's almost as though the bureau, having cleared out much of the regulatory work that was mandated by Dodd-Frank, is taking a deep breath and looking around for what to do next.
"It's fairly difficult to figure out exactly where the CFPB is headed," said Jess Sharp, executive director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness. The bureau is clearly exploring a lot of subjects, he said, like prepaid cards and overdraft protection, but "they're either not tipping their hand or they're not sure what else they're doing in 2013."
In a series of interviews with POLITICO, however, bureau officials pulled back the curtain. Working in three offices scattered around Washington — including a modern, barely-lived-in office building a block from the White House — they talked about their plans for monitoring financial institutions to prevent problems, better repayment terms for the trillion-dollar student loan market and educational efforts like new partnerships to prevent financial exploitation of the elderly.

Ravens safety Bernard Pollard picked up a penalty in the Ravens' 24-9 victory over the Colts for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Reggie Wayne, but he won't be losing any money.
The NFL confirmed Friday that Pollard has not been fined for the hit, which came when Wayne was judged to be a defenseless receiver by the officials. Pollard wasn't thrilled about the call, leading him to suggest making helmet-to-helmet hits subject to replay review. As MDS pointed out earlier this week, the review of that hit wouldn't have helped Pollard's cause all that much.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh was also asked about the call this week and he suggested that there were ways for Pollard to avoid similar flags in the future. Harbaugh said, via the Baltimore Sun, that Pollard needs to "keep his strike zone down" so that he avoids making contact with a helmet "all of a sudden."
Pollard also received a taunting penalty a couple of plays after his flag for hitting Wayne, but that didn't draw him a fine either.

Regular physical activity is crucial for women facing menopause. Consider what physical activity can do for you — and how to apply fitness tips for menopause to your daily routine.
Menopause is an important transition in a woman's life. Use it as a reminder to take good care of yourself. Start by considering these fitness tips for menopause.
Exercise during and after menopause offers many benefits, including:
Being overweight or obese might be associated with hot flashes, but further research is needed. Exercise isn't a proven way to reduce menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and sleep disturbances. However, regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight, relieve stress and improve your quality of life.
For most healthy women, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends moderate aerobic activity for at least 150 minutes a week or vigorous aerobic activity for at least 75 minutes a week — preferably spread throughout the week. In addition, strength training exercises are recommended at least twice a week.
Consider the options and their benefits:
Set realistic, achievable goals. Rather than vowing to exercise more, for example, commit to a daily 30-minute walk after dinner. Frequently update your goals. Teaming up with someone — such as a partner, friend or neighbor — can make a difference, too.
Remember, you don't have to go to the gym to exercise. Many activities, such as dancing and gardening, also can improve your health. Whatever you choose, take time to warm up and cool down safely.

Sitting in the kitchen, I said I felt like doing a handstand, but a few minutes later I'd lost that desire. I said out loud, "Five minutes ago I wanted to do a handstand, but now I don't." Everyone was like "cool story bro," but actually it was? I'd never done a handstand before, but I was fully prepared to stride to the hallway and give it a try. As soon as I had the thought to do it, I truly believed I could. But that belief vanished as quickly as it had arrived, so I stayed where I was. I used to have a ballet instructor who liked to say, "Don't worry if you can't do it, try anyway." Isn't everything about intention?
There's a girl I used to know, my age, who recently got engaged. When you scroll through her Facebook wall, it is full of engagement-related posts: engagement-party photos, congratulations from other people, statuses relating to her fiancé. I don't know how long it will be until they are actually married, but fuck me, to imagine myself in that position is impossible! I glance over my own wall and see a very different life in a different city. While she is marrying her long-term boyfriend, seemingly content to spend most of her time with only him in the city she was born in, I want the complete opposite. I want even more freedom than I have now. I want MORE.
I think it's healthy to project fantasies on people—new people, not just one person. Fantasies are our stories. In my friday lecture, the professor explained how the whole of society is just a bunch of stories. And the stories in our heads are intentions. And nothing would happen if we didn't have intentions at all. Maybe we TELL ourselves to love, to do things, because it would make a good story.
But my intention is not to settle, not to get engaged or even think about it. I mean, of course I've thought about it, I've invented a story in my head—one among many. But my intention is for more. I need to remember that. And intention is just the start. ♦

Cool Drinks, NY: Watermelon-Tea Boba at Spot Dessert Bar
I've been on a watermelon kick all summer long. I've been devouring fresh watermelon juices all around the city, and watermelon sodas over at Smorgasburg. Before the season ends, stop by Spot Dessert Bar for their signature watermelon drink ($4.50) which couples fresh watermelon puree with a few Asian-inspired twists.
They blend the cut fruit with a brisk, iced black tea and turn it into a boba drink loaded with tapioca. Three things I love, all in one drink? It's as good as it sounds with the tea providing a bright undertone to the summer chill of fresh watermelon. It's barely sweetened, so you could almost call it a healthy drink. That is, before taking into account the generous scoop of perfectly cooked, just chewy enough, tapioca balls.
They also offer many other fruit and tea boba drinks, including an inventive (and delicious) blend of lychee and matcha, and another pairing calamansi with Thai tea, all served iced.

Kate Gosselin is Surviving Tabloid Reports
Kate Gosselin of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8 signs copies of her book "Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets" at Barnes & Noble in New York City on Tuesday (May 5).
Last week, the woman who stepped out with Kate's husband Jon Gosselin, has come forward to say that she and Jon don't have a romantic relationship.
"We're just friends," Deanna Hummel, 23, tells People. "It's absurd that anyone would think otherwise. We just talk and socialize, the normal things you do when you see friends."
Deanna added, "He just got this new car and I wanted to drive it. I'm into cars. We all have guy and girl friends. Because of who he is, it gets portrayed the wrong way, and it's unfair to him and his family. "He's a very nice guy, don't get me wrong. But he's married with eight children. [Jon] has a great family life. I would never ever think to pursue anything."
Something tells me that tabloids are not done dragging the Gosselins through the mud!

Westhill bounces back to beat Stamford, claim Robotti Trophy
STAMFORD -- The Frank Robotti Trophy stands five feet tall. It is given each year to the Stamford City Public High School football champion. In short, the winner of the annual Thanksgiving Day battle between Westhill High and Stamford High.
After a frustrating week took the shine off a most promising 2012 season, the trophy meant everything to the Westhill High football players. The Vikings earned their just reward Thursday morning, defeating the stubborn Black Knights 20-6 before 550 fans at Stamford's Andy Robustelli Field at Boyle Stadium.
"Taking the Robotti Trophy back on the bus to Westhill, it's validation for us," Westhill junior quarterback Ryan Coppola said. "This is the first time we've won it since 2007. It's a symbol of how our team has changed. It's a symbol of how the Westhill football program has changed.
"After we had to forfeit four wins this week (due to using an ineligible player), that made us 1-8 on paper coming into today," Coppola continued. "But that's just on paper. We showed on the field that we know what kind of team we really are."
Indeed. Westhill is a program that has permanently put the travails of an 0-19 slide behind it.
Westhill is a program that has turned the corner. A program with a future.
"This win is a tribute to the kids," said Westhill's first-year head coach Frank Marcucio. "Taking home the Robotti Trophy is special. The win today shows that these kids know how to respond to adversity."
Westhill had heroes step up all morning.
Senior wide receiver Yveson Cassamajor caught a 35-yard touchdown pass from Coppola for a 6-0 Westhill lead after one quarter.
Cassamajor and Coppola combined on a 68-yard touchdown pass for a 13-0 Westhill lead at halftime.
"Ryan (Coppola) and Yves (Cassamajor) actually called the play themselves from what they saw from the SHS defense," Marcucio said. "During the week, Ryan made a few adjustments in his throwing motion. We had Ryan close his hips and keep his elbow tight when passing. My son who quarterbacks for Seymour High made the same changes and the light bulb finally went off in my head for Ryan."
The touchdown passes were set up by the success of Westhill's senior running back Davell Cotterell.
Cotterell was a workhorse with 32 carries for 195 yards rushing. He would have made the 200-yard milestone except for a seven-yard loss on his final carry.
Cotterell's 53-yard touchdown run with 9:47 left to play sealed the victory for the Vikings.
"I really wanted to get into the end zone because it was the last game of my high school career," Cotterell said. "Our offensive line made it all possible. They opened holes for me all day. The bottom line was we didn't want to lose on Thanksgiving."
Although Stamford High closed out the 2012 season with eight consecutive losses, the Knights didn't go quietly.
Shorthanded to start, Stamford lost its middle linebacker to injury in the first quarter. Stamford then had one player ejected after a fight broke out with 2:56 left in the first quarter. Another Black Knight was ejected following a personal foul penalty and a second flag for jawing with the ref just before halftime.
Despite it all, Stamford closed to 13-6 with 8:22 left in the third quarter on Cameron Webb's 19-yard touchdown run.
But an SHS offsides penalty led to the extra point kick being blocked.
"The kids I had played hard. Westhill's three big plays all resulted in touchdowns," Stamford coach Bryan Hocter said. "Our young kids coming back will hopefully get better next year."
For Westhill, it was a Thanksgiving Day the Vikings won't forget.
"Turkey dinner is going to taste fantastic," Coppola said.
"We didn't have a game all season where we were tired at the end. We wore Stamford down the same way we wore down the other teams we beat. The preseason and in-season work we did with BlueStreak Sports Training paid huge dividends," Marcucio said. "I'm ready to go for 2013. It's just 178 days to spring football practice."
Westhill 20, Stamford 6
W--Yveson Cassamajor 35 pass from Ryan Coppola (kick failed)
W--Yveson Cassamajor 68 pass from Coppola (Bernard Buzz kick)
S--Cameron Webb 19 run (kick failed)
W--Davell Cotterell 53 run (Buzz kick)
Records: Westhill 2-8; Stamford 2-8.

Privacy Is Not Secrecy; Debunking The 'If You've Got Nothing To Hide...' Argument
from the well-done dept
Commentators often attempt to refute the nothing-to-hide argument by pointing to things people want to hide. But the problem with the nothing-to-hide argument is the underlying assumption that privacy is about hiding bad things. By accepting this assumption, we concede far too much ground and invite an unproductive discussion about information that people would very likely want to hide. As the computer-security specialist Schneier aptly notes, the nothing-to-hide argument stems from a faulty "premise that privacy is about hiding a wrong." Surveillance, for example, can inhibit such lawful activities as free speech, free association, and other First Amendment rights essential for democracy.It goes on to note that even if you have nothing to hide, there are plenty of reasons why a loss of privacy should concern you:
The deeper problem with the nothing-to-hide argument is that it myopically views privacy as a form of secrecy. In contrast, understanding privacy as a plurality of related issues demonstrates that the disclosure of bad things is just one among many difficulties caused by government security measures.
One such harm, for example, which I call aggregation, emerges from the fusion of small bits of seemingly innocuous data. When combined, the information becomes much more telling. By joining pieces of information we might not take pains to guard, the government can glean information about us that we might indeed wish to conceal. For example, suppose you bought a book about cancer. This purchase isn't very revealing on its own, for it indicates just an interest in the disease. Suppose you bought a wig. The purchase of a wig, by itself, could be for a number of reasons. But combine those two pieces of information, and now the inference can be made that you have cancer and are undergoing chemotherapy. That might be a fact you wouldn't mind sharing, but you'd certainly want to have the choice.There's a lot more in the article as well, and it seems like this will be a good one to point people to the next time they make this bogus argument.
Another potential problem with the government's harvest of personal data is one I call exclusion. Exclusion occurs when people are prevented from having knowledge about how information about them is being used, and when they are barred from accessing and correcting errors in that data. Many government national-security measures involve maintaining a huge database of information that individuals cannot access. Indeed, because they involve national security, the very existence of these programs is often kept secret. This kind of information processing, which blocks subjects' knowledge and involvement, is a kind of due-process problem. It is a structural problem, involving the way people are treated by government institutions and creating a power imbalance between people and the government. To what extent should government officials have such a significant power over citizens? This issue isn't about what information people want to hide but about the power and the structure of government.

Gretna Bergthaler Mennonite Church (Gretna, Manitoba, Canada)
Box 89, Gretna, MB, R0G 0V0. (204) 327-5790. Located on Montcalm Ave. Minister Rudy Franz served in 2002 as a congregational leader. In 1965 there were 156 members; in 1975, 134; in 1985, 140; in 1995, 145; in 2000, 124. The congregation has been affiliated with Mennonite Church Manitoba (1947-), Conference of Mennonites in Canada / Mennonite Church Canada (1947-), and the General Conference Mennonite Church (1968-1999). The language of worship is English; the transition from German occurred in the 1960s.
The congregation began services in 1890s, and formally organized in 1947. The first building was occupied in 1958. Heinrich H. Ewert is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through colonization from Edenburg, Manitoba. This congregation replaced the Bergthaler church at Edenburg as the latter gradually declined as a population center. The existence of Canadian Pacific rail lines through Gretna and activities at Mennonite Collegiate Institute, plus the arrival of an aggressive leader like H. H. Ewert, caused Gretna to develop into a Mennonite worship center.
