I ride because I can. I ride for those who cannot. I ride because too many won't. This is a common sentiment among AIDS Ride Positive Pedelers, or Pos Peds. We are a group of riders who come together from all walks of life and choose to participate in one or more of the many AIDS Rides around the country, fully disclosing our HIV-positive status by wearing special jerseys and bright orange flags on our bicycles.
San Francisco rider Jonathon Pon founded the Positive Pedelers several years ago. Pon had a vision of HIV-positive riders supporting each other throughout training, fundraising and along the ride route. As visibility of Pos Peds grew in California, its tradition spread to AIDS Rides around the country. Each AIDS Ride now has a Pos Ped team recognized with the jerseys and flags, and participation in the opening and closing ceremonies. Jonathon passed away last year and leaves a legacy in the Pos Peds for all rides dedicated to raising money and awareness for AIDS. For that I thank him.
Over the past few years I have felt fortunate to participate in the Heartland AIDS Ride as a member of Pos Ped. I have been inspired and hopefully inspired others. What I do know is that I've joined others in making a powerful statement about how we view HIV.
This was not always the case though. The first year I rode in an AIDS Ride, I discovered how I could be "stopped" in the face of fear and judgment. In 1998, I arrived in Minneapolis for my first AIDS Ride experience. I was terrified yet exhilarated as I had trained for months, raised the needed donations to participate and now only had to prove to myself I could ride a bike from Minneapolis to Chicago. At the registration site, I saw a table for the Pos Peds and suddenly my fears and what I would later interpret as selfishness arose. I recall telling a friend that I could never do that, I mean why would I ever want to ride a bike through rural Wisconsin waving a flag screaming "I'm infected -- come look at me." I felt that I didn't need to be an activist on the ride. I had done my share of lying on Capitol steps, confronting politicians, and demanding better access to services and funding. Why would I need to do that on the AIDS Ride?
By day three of the event I learned the error of my thinking. I saw the Pos Peds riding with their flags and jerseys. They were not being confrontational by waving their orange flags in peoples' faces. Nor were they demanding attention or monopolizing other riders' time with their ideals. Nor was there shame in riding through central Wisconsin with visible symbols disclosing positive status. Most importantly though was my impression of grace and bravery in sharing with the ride community and the world that there is power in openness. I learned that day that with a very simple gesture I could contribute to an entire community. I learned that in a sense, I had made a choice to be selfish about who I am. I realized that I was participating in the ride with a selfish intent, one of proving to myself that I could ride my bike from Minneapolis to Chicago. My focus on the ride was on the specifics I could get out of it rather than being part of an experience shared by the entire ride community.
This realization opened up possibilities that I couldn't imagine. After proving to myself that I could do the ride, I had a feeling I could accomplish anything I put my heart and mind to completing. I could take on the world without selfish intent, sharing myself fully; clearly available to what others in the world had to offer. I chose to take on the ride again. This time without regard for myself, but really doing the event for others -- helping other riders along, helping the beneficiaries provide services to their clients, being part of an event that knows no emotional boundaries and is only limited by the actions and beliefs of those participating.
I arrived in Minneapolis the next year with a new sense of freedom. My first stop that year was the Pos Ped table where I joined the team. Admittedly, it was a little scary, but also comforting to know that I was joining a team of other riders who undoubtedly have similar experiences as my own and go through many of the same fears and stopping points as I do. As I signed my name and picked up my jersey and bright orange flag, I felt a feeling of joy knowing that I was going to ride as a flag-waving Pos Ped cheerleader. I was a force of nature rather than a selfish victim of circumstances. I was unstoppable in my conviction to make the ride as empowering for others as it had been for me the previous year.
As I reunited with old friends, some from the last ride and others from long before in college, I suddenly faced the fear of disclosure. I realized this was the first test. I had to not only face the issue of telling old friends I am positive, but also I had to face the fact that I felt like a selfish jerk the year before. As we were going through registration lines, I remember hearing from Anna, an old friend from college who had also done the ride the year prior, "That's a great jersey, where did you get it?" As beads of sweat started building on my forehead, I told her it was a Pos Ped jersey. After a very brief moment of silence she responded with indelible warmth and just said, "I love you, Jeff." Others around us in line started asking about the Pos Peds and I was suddenly rushed with such unbelievable support from complete strangers that I started to understand what the AIDS Ride community is about. I was surrounded by people who, for whatever their reason, are driven by the possibility to make a difference in the world. I understood that without even knowing me, they cared for me, my well-being, and my presence on the ride.
As the ride continued that year, selfishness and insecurity decided to rear its ugly head again. Was this another test? After riding for hours in a torrential downpour of rain, following a night of virtually no sleep because of rain, I decided I couldn't go on for one more turn of the wheel. It was sheer misery. As I was struggling with each pedal stroke, I knew it was perfectly OK to give up. Anybody would agree that being positive, I probably should not be out riding in pouring rain and strong winds, basically freezing my ass off. Just when I was ready to pull over and wait for a sag wagon, another rider came up behind me, looking as exhausted and "over it" as I was, and told me that if I could do it he could too. Together we rode in a downpour for another ten miles until we reached the next pit stop. Again I was given a chance to move beyond my own limits while supporting another rider in expanding his horizons.
The generosity of all the riders and crew continued in what has become the reputation of kindness on the AIDS Rides. People simply go out of their way to help others. I frequently took the opportunity to cheer riders up steep hills, visit with children selling lemonade along the ride route, talking with spectators about why I do the AIDS Ride and how important the Pos Peds are both for me as an individual and for the entire ride experience. We provide a source of information on HIV and AIDS as well as giving a face and personality to the disease.
Last year on the AIDS Ride, I met a young woman who was riding for the first time. She was riding for her brother who had passed away from AIDS the year prior. Doing the ride was her way of trying to let go of her brother, as her knowledge of the details of his illness was very minor. As we spoke while riding through the rolling hills of Wisconsin, she gave me the gift of remembering her brother as the active wild person she knew. She told me how I reminded her of her brother. I don't know, perhaps it was the heat or humidity or something, but I felt a unique connection to her. As we rode, she seemed to realize that her anger toward her brother's HIV infection was more sadness over her loss. She thanked me for being so open about being positive, how it does and doesn't impact my life. After all, with the exception of a few circumstances caused by meds, my life has only altered where I have allowed it to or caused it to.
The impact of riding as a Pos Ped is different for everyone. For many like myself, it is a place of freedom where the fear of discrimination is replaced by respect and compassion. It is an opportunity to give something back to the world. For others it is a form of activism and visibility; a chance to have our collective voices be heard. Whatever the case, Pos Peds has given me the gift of moving beyond my perceived selfish limitations and the opportunity to open myself to the compassion offered by others, for others.

I mean, are they clowning around? Is this the kind of thing that was just accepted behavior? Was Honda lecherous as all get out? Is he lording his position over her at the moment with this gesture signaling his dominance over her? Kumi doesn't look like she seems to mind... is she deep in the xilian role?
See what I mean?!? This picture fires the imagination (among other fanboy things I guess). For the purpose of taste, I kept it as a link.
Seriously, if anyone knows the scoop behind this, by all means do spill it.
GojiraKnight wrote:Well, I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting.
Are you saying that Honda was such a ravenous animal that he couldn't control himself any longer and started molesting a famous actress on a set filled with several other people and a camera crew? And if that were the case don't you think similar incidents would've happened more frequently? Don't you think it would be well established by film historians by now that Honda was a pervert? Or are you saying she was so "in character" that she allowed herself to be openly violated by a lecherous fiend? Or are you saying they were just "clowing around" on set? If so, why aren't they laughing or even smiling? Besides I've personally yet to meet a female who thinks it's funny to be groped.
Do any of those alternatives make much sense? And if any were true don't you think that picture would've been a little more scandalous to the participants? Instead it just looks like an awkward picture of two mature adults doing their jobs and not really thinking anything about it.
I'm sure you've seen behinds the scenes from photo shoots where the photographers "adjust" the models to make them look more attractive. That's there job. To make the models look increidbly hot. I'm sure that's what's happening here.
As odd as it may seem to you Kumi clearly realizes that Honda is a complete professional who is trying to make her appear as desirable as possible on camera. Thus she trusts him to do that if it makes for a better scene.
*Ahem...* Wow.
Sorry. Guess you didn't detect the wink and smiley emotioncons after the initial delivery which would have helped you see that it was all in jest (yeah I rolled my eyes too).
That's right. Just in fun. Whoops. Didn't mean to cause an emotional avalanche there in ya.
And I'm not sure what you know about human sexuality either, but then again, I'm not sure you've ever really kissed a girl. Your comment suggests quite a bit of pent up frustration there. Hope you get that taken care of one of these days.
Thanks for the chuckle though. Didn't mean to violate your innocence there with some non-too-subtle alluding.
Gotta go to grad-school orientation now. Hope this thread doesn't get any MORE twisted while I'm gone.

Enjoy the Convenience of a Pocket WiFi Hotspot
In the current age and era, most of the mobile devices are being designed with hotspot capability. Despite that, many still wonder whether a portable wifi hotspot device is of use to them. While you can use your cellphone as a wi-fi hotspot, using a portable wifi router still has an array of benefits.
Most of the shopping centers, coffee shops, malls, restaurants and many more locations have public wi-fi access areas. While they are highly convenient, they also come at a great risk to your privacy. This is because such networks are often unsecured. This is a perfect environment for hackers to do what they know best: steal personal information. When you use one of the portable wifi hotspot devices, you are able to protect yourself against the risks of entering personal information over a free network.

What Congratulations floral arrangements do you recommend in Netherlands?
When sending a Congratulations floral arrangement to Netherlands we happen to think big displays are best. Make them light up when they see an overflowing Congratulations arrangement with a dizzying variety of seasonal flowers. It may sound cheesy but a grand Congratulations bouquet is just the thing to seriously impress your loved one in Netherlands. As for the combination of flowers, the possibilities are endless. Be sure to pick a bouquet centered around their favorite flower, or color combination.
Should I send a Congratulations bouquet to a business associate in Netherlands?
Deciding whether or not to send Congratulations flowers to a colleague in Netherlands comes down to knowing a few crucial pieces of information. First, find out if your colleague's company has a policy against Congratulations gifts, or related policies regarding relationships. In such a situation, you certainly don't want to send a Congratulations bouquet to their office, and you want to give serious thought to even sending it to their home. Assuming there is no such policy, then the only question is: which bouquet best sends your Congratulations message? In Netherlands, bouquets sent to a business associate should be heart-felt, but also a bit conservative: consider the friendly message of Gerbera daisies vs. the romantic connotations of red or pink roses. When in doubt about the right Congratulations flowers in an office setting, send an easy-to-care-for living plant they can keep in their office; these are always tasteful gestures.
What are the best Congratulations flowers to send to Netherlands for a long-distance relationship?
Having a long-distance relationship can make you feel like even the simplest actions have gotten so complicated. Our best advice? Don't overthink it! But do go the extra mile. This means the best Congratulations flowers to send to your loved one in Netherlands should be just a little bit larger. You can do this by sending a Congratulations bouquet with an additional gift. The best flower and gift combinations for your loved one in Netherlands should remind them of a happy memory. Add a box of sweets, or a stunning dessert to your Congratulations bouquet and they are sure to be absolutely thrilled.

My first "vectors" feature on debt aggregation featured the story of Spain's debt aggregation landscape. Today two stories have emerged to complement Spain's debt aggregation narrative.
First, from Zero Hedge:
Valencia Announces SOS, Needs To Tap Government LIquidity Support Just Eurogroup Accepts Spanish Bailout Plan
Spain's heavily indebted eastern region of Valencia said on Friday it would apply for help under the government's 18 billion euro plan passed on Thursday aimed at helping regional finances.
This, just shortly on the heels of a Spanish bank rescue announcement, from Bloomberg:
Euro Finance Chiefs Give Final Approval to Spain Bank Rescue
Euro-area finance ministers gave final approval to as much as 100 billion euros ($122 billion) of bank aid for Spain, putting Greece back on the front line of the bloc's crisis-fighting agenda.
Note that the "bank aid" is a loan, via the EFSF mechanism. This is the essence of debt aggregation: with national "too big to fail" institutions given cheap money permitted by international collusion to keep them afloat."
For the foreseeable future, Europe's leaders will use debt aggregation to "kick the can down the road." It never ceases to amaze me that this works to assuage the financial markets, and how well it "works" to keep the economy going, but piling more debt onto already un-payable debt leads to only one place: default. In a coming update, I'll try to predict when that is going to happen, by dissecting Germany's untenable position in the Eurozone from a historical perspective.

|The Lord of The Rings
Arguably the best fantasy book series ever written in modern times. J.R.Tolkien was a master of literature and as a hobby designed new languages, spending much of his other time studying myths and legends. A good friend of CS.Lewis (The Nardia Fantasy Series) Tolkien decided to also attempt to write a original work. He was attempting to try and summaries / collect the famous archetypes from world myths and legends and create a new story to reflect the modern age. While in the old days were iconography was common place in legend, the acquisition of some chalice, or item was the stories journey, Tolkien reversed it and the quest is to destroy a bit of technology, not acquire it. While this collection is mainly for films about his work I urge everyone of you to read this book. This book is one of those that will be read for all time and take its place along side the Odyssey, the Iliad, Paradise Lost, Danta's Inferno and other master works of literature.

He is joined by Gandalf, Legolas the elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Aragorn, Boromir and his three Hobbit friends Merry, Pippin and Samwise.

Even as London-based Standard Chartered fought back against an order from New York's top regulator, Benjamin Lawsky, experts in the U.S. and abroad say that the bank's internal e-mails give Lawsky a basis for his unilateral action against the bank. The two sides will have a hearing Wednesday.
Bloomberg reported that an order issued Monday by Lawsky's agency, the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS), which threatened to revoke the bank's license, cited e-mails that appeared to indicate a pattern of deception and disregard for anti-money-laundering laws. The bank has gone on the offensive against Lawsky, complaining about the fact that he acted independently instead of in concert with other U.S. agencies currently investigating the bank. It also challenges the amount of money involved in the questionable transactions.
While Standard Chartered is making its loudest arguments over Lawsky's action by disputing the dollar figure Lawsky cited as violating regulations—the bank says the amount is less than $14 million, while Lawsky puts the figure at $250 billion—the fact that there was an apparent coverup of any of it puts the bank's license in jeopardy.
The DFS charter gives Lawsky the power to act on his discretion against any financial institution he finds to be untrustworthy. That includes levying fines, and even revoking the bank's license to operate in New York—something that could deal a telling blow to its business in the international community.
According to the analyst Chirantan Barua at Sanford Bernstein Research in London, losing its New York license could cause the bank's earnings to drop 40% and cause significant damage to its corporate banking model.
Arthur Levitt, former chairman of the SEC, was quoted saying in an interview, "I don't care whether it is a half of 1% that weren't right. There are going to be more that weren't right." Levitt added, "The e-mails are really outrageous. I think Lawsky has uncovered something that probably has a much deeper depth."
Levitt isn't the only one to feel that Lawsky stands on firm ground. Owen Watkins, a partner with the London law firm Lewis Silkin, said in the report, "Making and publicizing the order was within the power conferred on Mr. Lawsky by section 39 of the New York Banking Law. On the basis of the order, you can see that the superintendent has an arguable case, with the e-mails and the comments made by certain Standard Chartered staff internally."
While London's response to this latest blow to its banking sector has been largely to attack the regulator challenging it—Bank of England (BoE) Governor Mervyn King has jumped on Lawsky for his independent action, while Mayor Boris Johnson instead went the conspiracy theory route, saying that New York is attacking its largest business competitor as a means of defending its own financial center—others are defending Lawsky's actions. "This is not Lawsky getting ahead of other regulators," said Neil Barofsky in the report. Barofsky, who oversaw the U.S. Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and criticized the U.S. Treasury Department in his book Bailout, added, "This is Lawsky doing his job."
Another factor in the case is the 2004 agreement Standard Chartered had with New York over previous violations involving its anti-money-laundering policies and procedures. Standard Chartered signed an agreement with the New York State Banking Department and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in which, according to the order, it pledged "to ensure compliance with all record keeping and reporting requirements."
The agreement not only applied to money laundering, but also, from 2004 to 2007, subjected the bank to formal departmental action over regulatory compliance failures in connection with the Bank Secrecy Act and regulations of the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control. But in 2007, the bank provided a "watered-down" compliance report; the Banking Department was thus "misled" into lifting the restrictions, according to the order.
Lawsky's order said the bank since 2001 had been engaged in a "deceptive business plan" that involved hiding proscribed transactions and falsifying records to keep the truth from regulators. Instead, according to the order, the bank not only had, prior to 2001, "embraced a framework for regulatory evasion," but went after greater market share in those transactions.
The order said, in part, "Led by its most senior management, SCB designed and implemented an elaborate scheme by which to use its New York branch as a front for prohibited dealings with Iran. By definition, any banking institution that engages in such conduct is unsafe and unsound." This behavior by a "rogue institution," the order continued, affected the "safety and soundness" of the New York branch of the bank and cast doubt on its "character, credibility and fitness as a financial institution licensed to conduct business under the laws of this state."
Tariq Mirza, a former Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. official now with Grant Thornton, was quoted saying, "Willful noncompliance is very serious. If those allegations can be substantiated, regulators throw the book at institutions."

Clippers owner Donald Sterling has yet to emerge from seclusion since the announcement of his lifetime ban from the team and the NBA.
Since the scandal over racist comments broke last week, Sterling has been glimpsed only briefly leaving a restaurant Sunday night. He is the subject of the most severe sanction in league history after an NBA investigation determined he was the one making derogatory remarks in an audio recordings published on two websites.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced a lifetime ban on involvement with the NBA and slapped the billionaire with a $2.5 million fine during a Tuesday press conference. He said the league plans to "force a sale" of the team -- a process that he said will start immediately.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The NBA's investigation included an interview with Sterling, during which it was determined that the voice on the recording is that of the 80-year-old Clippers owner, Silver said. Asked whether Sterling had expressed remorse, Silver said, "Mr. Sterling has not expressed those views directly to me."
Sterling has not offered a response or made any public appearances since the announcement.
A brief statement issued by the Clippers made no effort to defend him: "We wholeheartedly support and embrace the decision by the NBA and Commissioner Adam Silver today. Now the healing process begins."
The Clippers statement offered no details how the healing process would work or what role Sterling would play in it.
Sterling's whereabouts remain unknown.
As is customary, the front door of his home base Sterling Plaza building in Beverly Hills remained locked. Signage out front announces four Sterling enterprises: his law office, Sterling Properties, the Clippers, and the Sterling Foundation. Looking through the glass doors during the afternoon revealed two security guards. Neither would open the door and no one responded to the building's intercom system.
For legal advice, Sterling has long relied on Robert Platt, a partner in the prominent Manatt Phelps law firm. Responding to a phone call, Platt's assistant said he was out of the office.
The scandal emerged from recordings of statements made by a man confirmed by the NBA to be Sterling to a woman who has been reported to be his then-girlfriend, V. Stiviano.
Stiviano had been sued by Sterling's wife Rochelle in an attempt to recover a Ferrari, a duplex, and other gifts Sterling allegedly lavished on Stiviano.
During the recordings now made public, Sterling chides Stiviano for posting an Instagram photo of herself with Magic Johnson, and goes on to tell her she should not associate in public with members of minority groups.
Stiviano's attorney says his client was not responsible for releasing the tape, which he said were recorded legally in the presence of a "third party." He denied reports that his client was the billionaire's mistress, saying she was acting as his archivist. The attorney said in a statement released Tuesday that Stiviano is "very saddened" by the ban and "didn't want any harm to come to Donald."
A call for comment to Rochelle Sterling's attorney, Laura Wasser, also went unreturned.

A South Florida man who answered an escort ad on Backpage.com was kidnapped, robbed and killed after he met up with the woman, authorities said.
Three people have been arrested in the murder of 31-year-old Gustavo Cabral, who was shot in the head in the garage of an abandoned Lake Worth house on Dec. 1.
According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Koral Ben Shimon, 20, posted the ad that said she was "looking to have an amazing time," and Cabral went to her Super 8 motel room.
When he arrived, two men, Ilmart Christophe and Jefty Joseph, both 20, came out of the bathroom masked and armed, the sheriff's office said.
Cabral, of Coconut Creek, was tied up and was forced to increase the limits on his credit cards and was then driven to banks and forced to take out cash, authorities said. Three men were alter seen entering the empty house before witnesses heard shots fired.
Only two men left the house, witnesses said. Christophe and Joseph were arrested later that day and both blamed the other for the shooting, the sheriff's office said.
Ben Shimon, of Greenacres, was arrested Wednesday. She told investigators Cabral begged for his life and was told he would be killed if he didn't cooperate by the two other suspects, the sheriff's office said.
Cabral was "so scared he could hardly talk," she told investigators.
Ben Shimon said she didn't know that Christophe and Joseph had planned to kill Cabral and said she wasn't there when he was shot, the sheriff's office said.
All three were being held without bond Friday and it was unknown whether they have attorneys.

Re: 90 day reporting per internet
Certificate not valid...valid one would cost 5USD
you need to figure out to scroll the the text down and checkmark the box to go forward.
When you use any other browser than IE, it won't work. (so also on no other OS than Microsoft)
I filled out my country, by typing into the field which results in a just white page when you click next (so you won't figure out why).
When it is finish it doesn't give you an email.
From the point of technology this is as poor as it can be.....
But after the problems are known it is great....I read somewhere else from strange things when reporting in person....want the "house book" and some confirmation that you really live there.... the computer don't has odd requests....
Re: 90 day reporting per internet
I live in Samut Prakarn and have my 90-day report coming up at the end of September. I see this thread is from 2015 but wondered if anyone had done the 90 day report online recently?
I tried to contact the Paknam immigration but the phone number on the website doesn't work and there's been no reply to my message.
Thanks for any advice

Expansion of Water and Sewer System
PA ID# 047-29700-00; City of Gulfport
PW ID# 10970; Expansion of Water and Sewer System
Citation: FEMA-1604-DR-MS, City of Gulfport, Expansion of Water and Sewer System, Project Worksheet (PW) 10970
Reference: Codes and Standards, Restoration of damaged facilities
Summary: Storm surge from Hurricane Katrina caused damage to the City of Gulfport's (Applicant) water and sewer system. In October 2005, FEMA, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Applicant conducted an assessment of the city's water and sewer infrastructure system between the CSX Railroad and U.S. Highway 90. The assessment found that all water lines, service connections, meters, meter saddles, meter pits, waste water lines and storm water lines had to be replaced. FEMA prepared PW 10970 in the amount of $20,453,194 to replace the systems to their pre-disaster design. On December 5, 2007, the Applicant submitted a Request for an Improved Project associated with an expansion to the water and sewer system to accommodate future demand for service in Area 3B of the project area within city. In a letter dated August 31, 2009, FEMA determined that the costs to increase the size of the water and sewer lines were not eligible for funding.
The Applicant appealed the determination on November 14, 2009, stating that local zoning codes required the overall capacity of the water and sewer lines to be expanded. The Regional Administrator denied the appeal on May 13, 2010, stating the required increases were in response to zoning codes used to determine capacity requirements, which do not meet FEMA's requirements for eligible codes and standards.
The Applicant submitted its second appeal in a letter dated July 19, 2010. The Applicant reiterates its position from the first appeal, and clarifies that the engineering design standards set forth by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and the Mississippi Department of Health require the water and sewer systems to be designed at peak flow in order to serve the expected population of the area.
Issue: Are the water and sewer lines eligible for replacement in accordance with the local zoning codes utilized to determine future land use and capacity requirements?
Finding: No.
Rationale: Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR) §206.226(d)(2), Restoration of damaged facilities, Standards

Colt McCoy Rumor: Cleveland Browns to Keep McCoy for Now (VIDEO)
Colt McCoy is the target of more rumors Wednesday with reports claiming that he will now be staying with the Cleveland Browns.
According to an ESPN report McCoy will remain on the Browns' roster for the coming season even though he lost his spot to Brandon Weeden last season.
Previously rumors had circulated that the Browns were hoping to sign Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. However, the Ravens offered Flacco a record contract, making him the highest paid quarterback in the NFL.
That development meant the Browns had to turn their attentions to Alex Smith - but when that interest went cold with him heading to Kansas City, their options looked limited.
And now it seems that with Matt Cassel being grabbed quickly, the Browns have given up their search and will settle for Brandon Weeden and keep McCoy on their roster. However, with Kevin Kolb still available as a back up, McCoy remains well down the list of who might see some action.
Despite the latest rumors surrounding McCoy, some NFL analysts have predicted that McCoy will still be gone sooner than later, with the most likely development being that he will be traded for a late round draft pick.
Here is a video interview with Colt McCoy in 2010:

Alessandro Baricco's latest novel, Emmaus, centers on the friendship of four working-class Catholic adolescents and their shared love for a tragic, sexual young woman named Andre. The plot of the novel follows the trajectory of a classic loss of innocence story, but Baricco immediately complicates this definition. What distinguishes Emmaus from other narratives of this archetype is its ambiguous stance in respect to Catholicism and sin. It would be a grievous oversimplification to say that the boys live in a world of repression and then find truth, or that they are innocent, pure souls in childhood and are subsequently corrupted in adolescence. To the contrary, Baricco distinctly avoids this simplistic dichotomy of good and evil: the narrator and his friends possess constant awareness of promiscuity and violence, but they don't label it as such. In the words of the narrator:
. . . we are ignorant of what scandal is, because we instinctively accept every possible deviation betrayed by those around us simply as an unexpected supplement to the protocol of normality. So, for example, when, in the darkness of the parish cinema, we felt the priest's hand resting on the inside of our thigh, we weren't angry but quickly deduced that evidently things were like that, priests put their hands there – it wasn't something you needed to mention at home.
There's a disturbingly dismissive tone in the narrator's voice as he describes these deviant acts – these acts of molestation aren't sinful or bad; rather, things are "like that," and the boys simply accept it.
When the narrator's best friend Luca first experiences a break with his childhood vision of the world, it is compared to traversing outside their homeland: "For the first time one of us pushed beyond the inherited borders, in the suspicion that there are no borders, in reality, no mother house untouched. . . From that land he looks at us, waiting for us to follow". These "inherited borders," once so immutable, quickly break down as the novel progresses. One by one, the four young men slip into the realm of tragedy – a world where priests molest children but also give the Eucharist, where mothers sleep with Confessors but also fiercely protect their young, where girlfriends will be virgins until they marry, yet submit to sexual touching under a blanket. But readers will struggle to link this shadowy world to the conventional notion of "sin." The author presents us with a cast of morally mixed characters, whose deviant actions fail to receive the kind of denunciation you'd expect from an insular Catholic community.
Take, for example, "the Saint," the most ostensibly pious of the four friends. He aims to join the priesthood, displaying a faith that's beyond passionate in its dimensions: "That mother made us tell her that we prayed, while the Saint burned in prayer; and his legs had a way of kneeling that was like crashing, when we simply changed position—he fell to his knees". The fervor with which the Saint prays is almost erotic – a quality that makes his faith appear close to his vice, like two sides of the same coin. Likewise, the narrator suggests that the Saint's sinister tendencies are what propel his piety: "None of us have that sensitivity to evil, a kind of morbid, terrifying attraction – increasingly morbid, inevitably, because it is terrifying – as none of us have the same vocation as the Saint for goodness, sacrifice, meekness, which are the consequence of that terror". Perversely, a disturbingly intimate familiarity with evil fuels the sanctity of characters like the Saint.
One of the more poignant elements of the novel was its meditation on faith. The Catholicism posited by this book, however, is hard to define – the priests try to teach the boys "that faith is a gift, which comes from on high and belongs to the world of mystery". In other words, it is a holy and untouchable boon from God. Yet despite their respect for the Bible and their clergymen, the boys see their faith as derived from a different source: "From somewhere, and in an invisible way, our unhappy families passed on to us an immutable instinct to believe that life is an immense experience". Conventional teachers of faith, such as priests, parents, or scriptures, lack the authority that you'd expect them to wield in this book; that power instead belongs to human instinct, which molds their particular religion and guides their actions. This frequently-iterated sense of humanism would seem to throw traditional Catholicism into question, an idea which is later echoed in the statement, "long before God, we believe in man – and this alone, in the beginning, is faith". Faith isn't a dry scripture or a fixed doctrine for the boys; it is something fluid, malleable, and organic, constantly remodeled to match the changing structure of their lives.
Emmaus is a painful and lyrical chronicle of adolescence, but the narrative voice is too cognizant, too reflective to belong to a young boy. The pensive tone implies a back-looking narrator, who possesses the objectivity and emotional detachment to explain to us, calmly and logically, the shock two boys experience when they find out that a parent is severely depressed:
. . . this gives an idea of how we're made. We have a blind faith in our parents; what we see at home is the just, well-balanced way of things, the protocol of what we consider mental health. We adore our parents for that reason—they keep us sheltered from any anomaly. So the hypothesis doesn't exist that they, first of all, can be an anomaly—an illness.
Yet what are we supposed to glean from the fact that the ostensibly adult narrator chooses to speak in the present tense whenever he comments on the general state of his adolescent life? Does he still have a blind faith in his parents, or is he merely inhabiting his youth linguistically as well as emotionally? This is another way in which Baricco complicates the simple architecture of a loss of innocence narrative; the voice of the boy, the adolescent, and the man are indistinguishable.
The narrator spends so much time grappling with philosophical and religious conundrums that we come to expect a reconciliation of these tensions, but this is in no way fulfilled. The book's final pages are filled with just as much uncertainty as the middle. Finishing it feels like waking up from a dream, one full of would-be-contradictions that nonetheless make perfect sense according to the logic of the dream. Upon waking, all that's left is the disarming question of whether or not this logic can apply successfully in the real world.

Malloy Proposes Beefing Up Child Care Inspections
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's proposed state budget for the fiscal year 2015 includes $1.5 million to add 28 child care inspectors to increase the frequency of inspections of day care facilities to once a year.
The budget also includes funding to launch a statewide quality-rating system for child care centers, and to improve the way background checks of child care staff are conducted.
The proposals come after a December story by C-HIT revealed lapses in child care oversight, including infrequent inspections by the state Department of Public Health and a lack of strong enforcement actions against providers found with health and safety violations. Also, a state audit in October found DPH was not verifying that the required criminal background checks were being done on all child care employees -- posing a risk that children were coming into contact with "unsuitable individuals," the auditors said.
Connecticut ranked 48th in oversight of child care centers -- with the third-highest caseload per inspector in the country -- in a 2013 national report by Child Care Aware of America. The state now inspects centers once every two years -- far less frequently than the Child Care Aware recommendation of quarterly inspections. Family day care homes are inspected once every three years.
The addition of 28 staff would more than double the current inspection staff of 25.
In July, licensing oversight will shift from DPH to the state's new Office of Early Childhood. The director of that office, Myra Jones-Taylor, has said she supports increasing the frequency of health and safety inspections.
In addition to strengthening oversight, the proposed budget would allocate $5.3 million to launch a public Quality Rating and Improvement System that would grade child care providers on a tiered scale. It also calls for the creation of "regional quality improvement centers" that would disseminate training and best practices for providers.
This story was reported under a partnership with the Connecticut Health I-Team (www.c-hit.org)

We've been hearing about Stephen Dorff and director Stephen Norrington's Blade prequel for ages. First it was going to be a Deacon Frost-centric trilogy, then it was Deacon Frost meets Scarface. Now the film-makers might just reinvent the vampire entirely.
In an interview with Shock Till Ya Drop , actor Dorff reveals that he is still intent on bringing back his vampire emo bad boy character from Blade. But it sounds like things haven't been too easy for Dorff and Norrington, as far as legal issues and time. So what does he do? Invent an entirely new vampire, for their Scarface meets Blade movie mash up. From the interview:
"Me and Steve Norrington had a cool treatment for that, and when vampires got all this trending again, we thought we should do the adult version, more of like a Scarface Deacon Frost movie. And it sounded cool, this treatment, but then there was so many legal things. Like New Line owned Blade and Marvel's got...all this hype into 'The Avengers' and this group movie which sounds like such a mistake."
"Blade was such a '90s thing. I didn't want to do a Blade movie, I just really wanted to take Deacon and do then do a whole other thing which was much more today. So the idea me and Steve had, we might just end up fictionalizing it and just making a new character which might even be better for us. And he's someone I really like and would love to work with again. So hopefully whenever we get a chance we'll get into that."
Well he's right, we have seem to hit the vampire crest, so here's what we suggest. Scrap that whole Blade prequel thing (we've already had Daybreakers) and go for a Nic Cage lunatic Vampire's Kiss remake. Now there's something that will scare the Hot Topic vampire-loving masses away from this monster.

Ponzi's Scheme: The True Story of a Financial Legend
Anyone who's ever wondered where the term "Ponzi scheme" came from, or how modern e-swindles work, would enjoy the story of Charles Ponzi himself. Born to a comfortable family in northern Italy late in the 19th century, Charles (born Carlo) Ponzi spent his university money lavishly on clothes, dining and entertainment, before sailing to North America to seek new fortune. After a short stint in labourer jobs in the US, he headed in the early 1900s to Mo...

ESPN caught Indiana's manager Brett Mann firing his little leaguers up in between innings and it's not only awesome, but exactly what you want to see from little league sports. Yes, he wants to win and he's urging them on so they can win, but he's not talking about "glory" or being a "champion" or any other high-minded objective we've come to associate with, ahem, sport.
He also directs their attention to a shirt, always hung in their dugout, that serves as tribute to a coach and player's father who passed away at an early age after a battle with colon cancer. It's a touching, if not overly sentimental, moment made accessible by Mann's incredulity that his kids would even think to waste their time feeling sorry for themselves.
Just go out, play hard and have some fucking fun and don't worry about results. Hits on 3.

Saturday 2nd June 2018 - 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Location: Whitwell Harbour
Address: Whitwell Park
One of the most exciting ways of seeing ospreys at Rutland Water is to take a guided trip with members of the project team aboard the Rutland Belle. The idea is simple; we sail to the parts of the reservoir where we stand the best chance of seeing fishing ospreys and, with a bit of luck, are rewarded with spectacular views. On many occasions we have enjoyed breathtaking views of the birds diving for fish very close to the boat, making it a trip to remember for those lucky enough to be on board.
This cruise will begin at Whitwell Harbour at 5:30pm, where the Rutland Belle sets sail for an hour and a half cruise on Rutland Water. We stand a very good chance of seeing ospreys flying by and fishing, and lots of other gems that Rutland Water has to offer. There will be a live commentary pointing out things of interest, and providing information about the osprey project and the reservoir. Members of the osprey team will be on board to help you get the best out of your trip. There will be tea, coffee and snacks available on board.
On the day of the cruise, the osprey team will be delivering a talk on the Osprey Project at the Lyndon Visitor Centre, for cruise guests to attend. The talk is optional, but provides a useful overview of the project and information on spotting ospreys from the boat, how they fly and hunt etc. There will be two opportunities to attend the talk, at 10am and 2pm.
Afternoon cruises cost £22 for adults and £13 for under 16s.
In addition to your cruise ticket you will also receive a 20% discount on the permit entry price to the nature reserve on the day of the cruise. Nature reserve permits cover the Egleton (LE15 8BT) and Lyndon (LE15 8RN) sites of Rutland Water and with nearly 40 hides there is lots to see and do to fill a day. The permit includes parking at the reserve. For more information about the reserves click here.
All parking costs at Whitwell are covered by your cruise booking – we will issue tickets on the cruise for use at the exit barrier at Whitwell's car park.
CLICK HERE to book your ticket online or call 01572 653024.
PLEASE NOTE: Cruise tickets are non-refundable, under any circumstances. However, provided we have no less than two weeks' notice, we can move your booking to a different date should you be unable to attend the one booked. We are only able to do this once. We cannot reschedule cruise dates for those who fail to turn up on the day or arrive late.
