What if the first step to growing is letting go of the past?

These cookies are a tasty accompaniment for your coffee or tea. They have the distinctive taste of must - which is taken from the pressed grapes before it is made into wine - and a hint of cinnamon. You can make them either soft or crispy, depending on your preference.
250g sugar
170g grape must
150g extra virgin olive oil
200g water
9g ammonium bicarbonate
9g cinnamon
1 kg soft flour
4g baking powder
4g soda powder
Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl to form a pliable dough, without over handling the dough.
Cover it with cling film and leave in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
On a slightly floured surface shape the dough into circular cookies (see photo) and place them in a shallow buttered oven dish.
If you want the moustokouloura to be soft, cover them with aluminium foil, making a few holes in the foil with a fork and keep them covered for 10 minutes after they have been baked.
If you want them to be crispy, then leave them uncovered.
In both cases bake them in a pre heated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.

Boxart of Mother 3 that was packaged with the Deluxe Box
Mother 3 (Japanese: マザースリー MOTHER3) is a role playing video game developed by Brownie Brown and HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance on April 20, 2006. It is the third and final video game in the Mother series, and revolves around the fictional Nowhere Islands, their invasion by the Pigmask Army, and the attempts of young Lucas to depose them.
Although initially conceived for release on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Mother 3 was the subject of multiple delays and several consoles. Initial efforts to develop an N64 sequel failed, and while the project was canceled for a short time, Mother 3 was re-announced in 2003. Its subsequent release on the Game Boy Advance was met with commercial success and positive reception.
Although the game has not been released outside of Japan due to its mature themes, Mother 3 has enjoyed a cult following similar to that of its predecessor, EarthBound. In October 2008, a fan translation of the game was released by Starmen.net, and Mother 3 has been represented by Lucas in the Super Smash Bros. series since Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Unlike the first two games, the focus is no longer on a group of children. Some chapters put completely different characters in the protagonist role. In one chapter the player controls a limping thief named Duster, in another chapter the main character is Salsa, a monkey who is constantly suffering abuse by a rich traveling merchant named Fassad. The only child character the player gets to control is Lucas, who is about nine to ten years old in the first three chapters and twelve to thirteen years for the remainder of the game. Further controllable characters include Kumatora, a tomboyish princess, Flint, a strange middle-aged cowboy and Lucas's father, and Lucas's dog, Boney.
Mother 3 is set in the Nowhere Islands, some unknown amount of years after EarthBound. Chaos ensues after an invasion by the Pigmask Army, named after the uniforms, which resemble pigs, and its leader, Porky Minch, the "Pig King". They slowly construct a police state, while experimenting on the land's flora and fauna, and introducing new technology and infrastructure to the islands. The various chapters record the life of a boy named Lucas and his family and friends, banding together to rid the Nowhere Islands of the Pigmask Army.
The game opens with Flint, who, after a fire in the forest, finds out that his wife Hinawa and his sons Lucas and Claus haven't come back to the village yet. He then sets out to look for them with the help of his dog, Boney and the town's residential thief, Duster. He soon finds out his wife has been killed by a drago, leaving him to raise their sons. After Claus goes missing to kill the Drago that killed his mother, Flint, with the help of Alec, Hinawa's father, goes looking for him. Claus ultimately lost the battle and, presumably, was killed. Flint could not find the body.
From here, Duster is drafted to go to the haunted Osohe Castle by his father Wess to find the Egg of Light. Duster purchases the Rope Snake to help him cross gaps in the castle. Along the way, Duster and Wess meet Kumatora. After they stop several Pigmasks, the trio is flushed out of the castle and Duster loses his memory. He joins the musical group DCMC as their bassist.
In Duster's absence, the Pigmask Army moves into Tazmily Village and, with the help of Fassad and his abused monkey Salsa, they help modernize the town with new infrastructure and "Happy Boxes," which are like TV's. They use the happiness boxes primarily to corrupt the residents of Tazmily and make their job of establishing authority easier. Salsa is ultimately rescued by Kumatora, Wess, and Lucas.
Wess eventually gets wind of Duster's whereabouts and asks Lucas to confirm the rumors that he has joined DCMC and to respond via homing pigeon. With the help of Kumatora (disguised as a waitress), Lucas and Boney find Duster and the four set off together to Thunder Tower.
After shutting down the tower, Fassad appears to try to stop them, but falls from the tower. Shortly after, an aircraft comes with the Masked Man inside. Duster grabs the craft with the Rope Snake and the party clings for dear life as the ship flies away. The Rope Snake cannot hold forever though, and the party falls from the aircraft.
Lucas awakes in a field full of sunflowers. After finding Boney, he sees figments of his mother, Hinawa. After chasing her off the edge of a cliff, he falls back down to Tazmily Village, where Wess and Alec bring him home and help him get well. After rescuing the Magypsy Ionia, Lucas and Boney find out about the Seven Needles. Pulling the Seven Needles will release a seal on the Dark Dragon, a being that rests below the islands, which inherently possesses massive power. In the wrong hands it could destroy the islands, while it could heal the world in good hands. The party races against the Pigmask Army to activate the needles. Lucas and Boney soon find themselves in a genetic-engineering laboratory where Dr. Andonuts and other scientists work. However, the most dangerous of their creations, the Ultimate Chimera, has been set loose. After fleeing from the beast, they discover Salsa and his girlfriend Samba trying to escape the lab. Salsa, remembering how Lucas helped save him from Fassad, deactivates the Ultimate Chimera, and helps him escape. The party heads to the home of one of the Magypsy and encounters Kumatora, who rejoins the party. With the help of Dr. Andonuts, Lucas drains the lake and pulls the needle. Upon leaving the area, Lucas and co. encounter Okera, the mole cricket from the prologue of the game. He challenges Lucas to another match, and leads the party down into the lair where the mole crickets live. After an easy battle, the party is allowed to travel through the maze-like caves that lead up into a tall mountain. After traveling up the mountain, the group meets the next Magypsy, who has allowed a captured Pork Colonel-turned-good to rest in the house. Before Lucas gets a chance to pull the needle behind the Magypsy's house, the Masked Man arrives and pulls the needle. After a battle with the Mecha-Gorilla, the party ramps off the mountains in a refrigerator and crashes in Tazmily Village's cemetery.
The party then finds a series of notes with strange handwriting that ask for help, and they are led through a new route on the Pork Highway atop a strange vehicle. They arrive at their destination, which is an occupied Saturn Valley where the Mr. Saturns, Duster, and Rope Snake are being interrogated by the Pigmask Army on the whereabouts of the nearby Needle. After freeing the village, Duster rejoins the party. The Mr. Saturns help the group enter the volcano, where another Needle is guarded by a rebuilt Fassad, now sporting trumpets as weaponry. After defeating him, Lucas pulls the needle and the reunited party returns to Saturn Valley. With the help of the Mr. Saturns, the party uses a flock of birds to return to Tazmily Village and enter the ocean.
After emerging, Lucas, Boney, Duster, and Kumatora are low on energy and decide to eat some strange-looking mushrooms. Boney opts out, leaving the human party members to experience a drug-induced hallucination in the jungle. − − Eventually the party makes its way to the next Magypsy, Mixolydia ("Missy" for short), and the 5th Needle, which was pulled by the Masked Man, and are ferried back to Tazmily Village on the back of an Ochu, Missy's octopus friend. Using the Jar of Yummy Pickles Missy left them, Lucas and friends get to Ionia's house where they acquire the Waters of Time so they can get into the temple nearby. At the temple, they meet the Masked Man. He is defeated and flies away, leaving Lucas to pull the next Needle as Ionia disappears. As they exit the temple, a limousine pulls up, inviting them to New Pork City.
In New Pork City, Lucas and friends go to the movie theater, which shows some of the Porky's past adversaries (including Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo from EarthBound). A stinkbug gets the attention of Boney, and the party chases him into the sewers. Once there, they follow Boney's barks to find Leder, the bell ringer from Tazmily Village. He tells them the long history of their world and Porky, including the fact that their islands are a post-apocalyptic utopia and that it exists on the back of a giant sleeping dragon, which is kept asleep by the Needles. The Magypsy were put in place to guard them. On the way out of the sewers, Fassad attacks again, now known as Miracle Fassad and is defeated by the party.
As the group climbs the Empire Porky Building, which is the tallest building in New Pork City, they discover a Magypsy house. Upon entering, they find items that prove that Fassad is the final Magypsy, which include a turban like Fassad's, a pair of trumpets like the ones Fassad has after being rebuilt, many crates filled with luxury bananas, which Fassad ate throughout the game, and banana peels lazily tossed on the floor like Fassad did.
When the party makes its way up the final floor, they discover a robot that resembles Porky. They compete with the robot in a few mini-games before moving on to Porky himself.
On top of the tower, they find the Hall of Memories, showcasing many items from EarthBound, which include the Runaway Five's tour bus, Tessie, the helicopter that Porky flew away from the Monotoli building in, the submarine which Ness and co. used to enter Deep Darkness swamp, the black and white sesames from the desert between Threed and Fourside, and Porky's original spider-mech from the battle with Giygas, before ending up in a long hallway leading to Porky. In Porky's room they are attacked by more complete Porky robots, which are soon destroyed by Duster's ex-bandmates of DCMC. After the townspeople of Tazmily Village enter the room with Dr. Andonuts and Flint, Porky descends from the vines on the roof to speak to the party. He reveals that the last Needle has been found and challenges Lucas and friend to beat him to it via the express elevator. Lucas, Boney, Kumatora, Duster, and Flint rapidly descend the elevator shaft to a mine-like environment.
Flint goes ahead and soon tells Lucas that the Masked Man is actually his brother Claus, who has been changed by the Pigmask Army. They have been using him because he is the only other one besides Lucas who is capable of pulling the Needles and awakening the dragon.
Porky soon confronts them in his spider-mech. When Porky seems to be defeated, he calls upon the Absolutely Safe Capsule and climbs inside. It seals Porky inside and being true to its name, it protects Porky from all harm. However, Porky finds that he cannot harm the heroes, either. When the battle ends, Dr. Andonuts reveals that he built the Absolutely Safe Capsule with the specifications that once someone is inside, the machine cannot be opened by anyone, including the person inside of it, and while Porky is "absolutely safe", he is trapped in the machine forever.
Before reaching the final Needle, the Masked Man attacks again in a one-on-one battle with Lucas, who stays safe from his lightning attack thanks to the Franklin Badge. Hinawa pleads with Claus from beyond the grave, trying to get him to stop attacking Lucas, while Flint blocks the effects of the PK Love attack. Eventually, the Masked Man removes his helmet revealing himself as Claus, and regaining his own will, he sends a final bolt of lightning at Lucas so that it would reflect back at him and end the fight. After Claus collapses, he regains his sense of self and utters a few parting words. Lucas pulls the final needle, and the player is shown a grim outlook of what appears to be the end of the Nowhere Islands. A secret on the final screen of the game, in which the word 'End?' appears, will actually reveal that everybody survives the attack and thank the player for all their help. As the residents of the Nowhere Islands give their thanks, the player finds a Doorknob, likely the doorknob that was pulled off Flint's door in Chapter 1.
Playable characters
Unlike the two games before it, having a set of four playable characters and rarely deviating from it, Mother 3's playable cast changes often before settling on a team of four in Chapter 7.
- Pigmasks and the Pigmask Army - The main threat in Tazmily Village, the Pigmask Army does various things such as reconstructing wild animals, hypnotizing people with Happy Boxes and set Sunshine Forest on fire, and other evil tasks.
- Porky - The leader of the Pigmask Army, his tasks are fueled by a simple desire to destroy everything.
- Masked Man - The commander of the Pigmask Army, a cyborg controlled by Porky as a fighting machine and to also pull the Seven Needles.
Mother 3 was released on April 20th, 2006 for the Game Boy Advance, however it was also playable on older Nintendo DS models released at the time. The game was only released in Japan and to this day has not had an official English release.
At the time of the release, a limited time Deluxe Box was also released only in Japan that sold for 18,000 yen. Packaged inside was the game itself in a white box (as opposed to the regular red box), a Franklin Badge pin, and a Mother 3 themed Game Boy Micro.
On December 17th 2015, the game was released on the Wii U's Virtual Console exclusively in Japan.

At present, Gonzalez' progress offensively has been impeded by poor plate discipline and a tendency to swing at anything near the strike zone. Gonzalez also likes to swing with his shoulders which negates the bat speed he does have. Now 20, Gonzalez has time to figure it out, but it will take an overhaul of both his swing mechanics and approach to make it happen. However, Gonzalez' true strength does not lie in his hitting ability. Gonzalez is a "catch and throw" guy at his core. In 2010, he threw out half of opposing runners and possesses one of the best releases I've seen at the level. …

LONDON (AP) — The Bryan brothers kept alive their quest for a fourth straight Grand Slam tournament title by winning all three tiebreakers in a 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3), 7-6 (4) victory over Mahesh Bhupathi and Julian Knowle to advance to the Wimbledon semifinals.
With 18-time major golf champion Jack Nicklaus in the crowd Tuesday, Bob and Mike Bryan moved a step closer to increasing their record Grand Slam haul to 15.
The Americans thought their match was over — they were headed to the net to shake hands — when Bhupathi's second serve on match point barely nicked the line while trailing 5-4, 30-40 in the third. There was no 'out' call, however, and Bhupathi went on to save serve. The teams traded games before heading to the third-set tiebreaker.

ORLANDO, Fla. – A University of Central Florida fraternity has been placed under organizational suspension after police found they violated university policy by having an open, non-sanctioned house party.
According to UCF records, Alpha Tau Omega has been placed on organizational suspension for Fall 2013, Spring 2014 and Summer 2014 academic terms and disciplinary probation for Fall 2014, Spring 2015 and Summer 2015 terms.
The party, which was themed "New Year's in July," took place at the ATO house on Greek Court on July 28, according to records. At a hearing late last month, they were found in violation of university policy and the Golden Rule Student Handbook, prompting their suspension.
The fraternity was already on probation with the school after accusations surfaced they hazed members last school year. Some claim they were locked in a room and forced to drink alcohol, while others claim they were forced to stand in a bucket of ice and exercise.
The fraternity was let off on probation, but the house party was a clear violation.
"Prior incidents do factor in to decisions," said university spokesman Chad Binette. "The fact they were on probation at the time this happened is a factor, but I would not say we were trying to make an example out of them."
ATO national leaders told Local 6 they took action immediately after they learned about the unsanctioned party in July, forcing 31 members out of the fraternity for acting irresponsibly.
"The national fraternity understands the university's frustration with the event but had hoped removing the members who were not engaging in a constructive manner would communicate that the chapter identified the issue and effectively dealt with it," CEO Wynn Smiley said in a statement.
While on suspension, the fraternity cannot take part in university activities as part of an organization unless approved.
While on disciplinary probation, the fraternity can participate in university and sponsored activities, but cannot violate any Organizational Rules of Conduct or else their status will be jeopardized.
ATO must also complete a consultation with their national fraternity and re-certification with the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.

Yesterday's most selected players
Alfonso Soriano (CHC): 8.8% of total picks made, 0-for-4
Chase Utley (PHI): 6.6%, 2-for-4
Lance Berkman (HOU): 6.5%, 0-for-4
Manny Ramirez (BOS): 6.1%, 0-for-3
Albert Pujols (STL): 5.7%, 3-for-5
Yesterday's results
Derrek Lee went 2-for-5, extending the current BTS leader's streak to 31 games.
The two fans tied for second place held their ground and reached the
30-game plateau thanks to two-hit efforts from Chase Utley and Joe
Despite being the day's most popular pick at 8.8 percent of all selections, Alfonso Soriano went hitless in four at-bats to snap his seven-game hitting streak.
Lance Berkman — the day's third-most popular pick at 6.5 percent — also went 0-for-4 as his 17-game hitting streak came to a screeching halt. That spelled the end of one fan's 25-game streak, which was tied for seventh place entering the day.
Also falling out of the Top 10 was the owner of the fourth-longest streak, whose 28-game run came to an end with Dustin Pedroia's 0-for-3 performance.
Fan of the day
Name: Brian D. Kauffman
Occupation: Banquet Manager
Streak length: 30 games
Brian, who resides in Collinsville, Ill., has been playing Beat the Streak for the past two years. As a fan of the Cardinals, Brian frequently makes Albert Pujols his pick in BTS, although he often goes with hit king Ichiro Suzuki as well.
Brian's streak nearly came to a premature end a little over a week ago. He picked Yunel Escobar on a day when the Braves were playing a doubleheader, not realizing that Escobar needed to get a hit in BOTH games for the streak to continue. Fortunately, the Braves shortstop came through with two hits in the first game and another in the second, keeping Brian's hopes alive for another day.

I would like to see more of these fan of the day features. So far this year we've only had two. One per each month. If you are going to do it just once a month, you should call it "fan of the month."
Actually, I can see that doing a fan profile every day would be too much. How about one a week? You can call it "fan of the week." If you need people to interview, I am very available. I will give you more depth than the simple, "oh i live in chicago, so i pick Derrek Lee, and maybe mix it i up a bit with Aramis Ramirez." I have a very interesting, and rather amusing strategy. If you want to know what it is, just shoot me an email, I'll be happy to be interviewed by mlb for the "fan of the day" or "fan of the week."

USMMA halls evacuated after contractor hits gas main
A contractor working to renovate barracks at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy severed a gas main feeding three residential halls, forcing an evacuation for some students at the Kings Point campus.
No injuries were reported, said Marcie Katcher, a spokeswoman for the school, calling the 10:30 a.m. evacuation a "precaution."
National Grid worked to secure the leak, Katcher said, which has been stopped.
The Great Neck Alert Fire Company arrived on the scene also, along with the academy's security department, the school said.
As of 1 p.m. Wednesday, Katcher said, the midshipmen have been cleared to return to their barracks.
A 2010 federal report about facilities at the school detailed more than $300 million in needed renovations, replacement and rehabilitation projects.
Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood in March 2012 announced construction plans for the academy, saying federal authorities needed to do a better job of maintaining and repairing facilities.
LaHood told reporters that $54 million in construction projects included replacing the aging Mallory Pier -- one of two piers enclosing the Hague Basin -- updating the 1940s-era mess hall and improving the academy's electrical system.

The psychosexual profiles of priests accused of sexual abuse have reportedly been kept by the Australian Catholic church.
The profiles were allegedly created as part of a church rehabilitation program - Encompass Australasia - which ran from 1997 to 2008 at Sydney's Wesley Private Hospital, Fairfax newspapers reported on Saturday.
The program reportedly treated male clergy for psychosexual disorders and created profiles on them.
According to Fairfax, it is believed none of the clergy treated under the program were referred to police for investigation despite senior church figures being aware of serious allegations against them.
A NSW Police spokeswoman told Fairfax the force had received some abuse information from the church; however, no record of referrals from the program could be found.
Sources familiar with the program reportedly told Fairfax newspapers clergy involved were "transitioned" out of the church, receiving generous payouts, accommodation and tertiary education.
"There were some outrageous situations that would have been very embarrassing for the church had they become public," a source told Fairfax.
The claims come on the heels of this week's announcement by Prime Minister Julia Gillard of a royal commission into the abuse of children in religious and state-run institutions.

- "This shotgun has a short gun barrel producing a wide blast and is deadly at close range. Fires only 2 shells but automatically reloads and can be fired from your bike."
- ——TLAD Official Website.
- "This single-barrel, sawed-off shotgun compensates for its low range and ammo capacity with devastating efficiency in close combat."
- ——GTA V description on the Rockstar Games Social Club.
The Shrewsbury Sawed-off Shotgun, also known as the Sawn-off Shotgun, is a Shotgun available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, The Lost and Damned and Grand Theft Auto V.
Design and Performance编辑
GTA San Andreas编辑
In GTA San Andreas, this gun is based on a 12 Gauge Colt Model 1883 Hammerless Shotgun with a shorter gun barrel and often a shorter or deleted stock, compared to a standard shotgun. Despite being a shotgun, it is held like a Pistol and the player can even sprint while holding it. It is double barreled and can only fire two shells before a rather lengthy reload. At hitman level, the player can dual wield it and fire four shells instead. With hitman skill and unlimited ammo, the Sawn-off Shotgun is almost as powerful as a rocket launcher, as it will blow up a car with about 6 shells and a helicopter with about 24. It can also easily move vehicle wrecks, and therefore is a good choice to push wrecks into a garage.
The Lost and Damned编辑
In The Lost and Damned, this gun is based on a sawed off 12 Gauge Coach Gun, with two hammers and two triggers, which also known as the Lupara. The Sawn-off Shotgun in TLAD can be used while riding motorcycles (but not cars) to perform drive-bys. It only holds two shells per reload and a short effective range, but it is very powerful. It is exclusive to The Lost and Damned and cannot be found in Grand Theft Auto IV, nor in The Ballad of Gay Tony. The Sawn-off Shotgun is very powerful at close ranges. This can be used to instantly set a vehicle on fire by shooting the rear tires. This weapon is usually a 1 hit kill at close range, but at a bit further ranges it might take 2 hits. At drive-bys, the weapon takes 3-4 seconds to reload another 2 shells, but if the player releases the firing button and presses it again, they can shoot again in 1 second, which is useful for quick assaults.
In Grand Theft Auto V, the Sawed-off Shotgun is based on a shortened version of a Mossberg 500. The gun holds eight shells per reload and is deadly at close range. Just like in TLAD, it can be used for drive-bys on bikes, and now buses. The difference from other shotguns is that it has a lower rate of fire and range, but deals the most damage of all shotguns in the game.
GTA V Overview编辑
The Sawed-off shotgun benefits from the highest damage per pellet of all shotguns, being 40. If the player manages to hit a target with all eight pellets, the player can score an exceptional 320 damage per shot. This makes one-hit kills very easy to obtain within its effective range. This is offset, however, by a mediocre fire rate of 70 rounds per minute, making firing follow-up shots more difficult against enemies using fast-firing weapons.
Compared to other shotguns, the effective range is lower, making pellets hit a target at medium range more difficult. On the other hand however, the high damage per pellet makes scoring a one-hit kill easier than on other shotguns, as fewer pellets are required to attain a one-hit kill - the player can one-hit kill weak NPCs once four pellets hit a target, and destroy a bulletproof armor with five pellets.
A great advantage of the weapon is that it is the only shotgun available for drive-by shooting, although from only certain vehicles - namely bikes. At short range, the sawed-off shotgun is among the most powerful weapons to use as the pellet spread and high damage allow the player to easily kill a driver or a pedestrian, and deal serious damage to a vehicle.
Another drawback is that the weapon cannot mount any attachment. This isn't a large drawback, as the weapon's eight-round capacity is effective enough, the accuracy is quite good, although it cannot benefit from the effects of a flashlight.
In conclusion, the sawed-off shotgun is a very powerful weapon, but only in its effective range. At medium range, the short weapon range makes other weapons such as submachine guns more effective.

HUD icons编辑
- As its name implies, the Sawn-off Shotgun is usually produced by home-made modification of a standard shotgun. In countries where firearms and ammunition are rare due to legal restrictions or high price, criminals are known to convert legal or stolen hunting weapons into concealable weapons, even modifying non-firearm weapons such as air guns.
- It also makes an appearance in Red Dead Redemption, and Max Payne 3, other games by Rockstar.
GTA San Andreas编辑
- Extremely rarely, criminal pedestrians may spawn with the Sawn-off Shotgun instead of the Pistol during the Burglary missions to confront CJ if he makes too much noise and is detected. This is the only instance when NPCs use this weapon in GTA San Andreas.
- Oddly, if looked upon closely while firing the sawn-off shotgun, it ejects shells after every shot. This would not happen in real life, as the shotgun depicted in-game is a break action, and the shells would stay in the chamber and would need to be manually removed.
- Sawn-off Shotguns are extremely unreliable in gunfights in GTA San Andreas, as their range is limited, and even if the player locks onto an enemy, the shotgun will miss its mark when he holds the fire button while reloading (CJ swings the gun upwards to finish the break-action reloading, so the gun is ready to shoot, but it still isn't aimed at the target).
- Oddly enough the Sawn-off Shotgun has increasing strafe speeds defined for the player's proefficiency with the weapon, like all two handed weapons and unlike the other single handed weapons. This may possibly hint the weapon was initially planned to be the Stubby Shotgun found in GTA Vice City.
GTA The Lost and Damned编辑
- The Lost and Damned's rendition features dual triggers and hammers which are exposed.
- It is the first weapon used by Johnny Klebitz in the Lost and Dammed, and he starts with 100 rounds of total ammunition for it.
- The name "Sawn-off Shotgun" is quite confusing. Because "Sawn-off" or "Sawed-off" is a term to refer a shotgun which the barrel is shortened to increase the spread, even it is an automatic or pump action shotgun. Usually, break-action Sawn-off Shotguns are referred to as "Lupara", especially by the Sicilian Mafia.
- In GTA V, the Sawed-off Shotgun is way too small to fit 8 shells in it. Its correct capacity would be 2+1 shells.
- In GTA V, the Sawed-off Shotgun can be fired while driving a Bus. This is the first time in the GTA series the weapon can be used while driving a motor vehicle other than a motorcycle. It can also be fired while riding a Blazer, a Tractor or a bicycle.
- In GTA V, the Sawed-off Shotgun somewhat partially resembles the Pump-Action Shotgun featured in Grand Theft Auto IV.
- This is because the Serbu Super Shorty was designed as a compact version of both the Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" and Mossberg 590. The Mossberg 590 was also designed to replace the Ithaca 37.
- The Sawed-off Shotgun in this game bears some resemblance to the actual Pump Shotgun, except that it has no stock.

|Kerberos Infrastructure HOWTO
Abstract Syntax Notation One. ASN.1 is a notation used describe messages. It describes them as a sequence of components. The described components may be sequences also. ASN.1 is used to describe the internals of Kerberos datagrams. Unless you are a software developer, you do not need to gain an understanding of ASN.1.
A record containing information that can be shown to have been recently generated using the session key known only by the client and server. (Definition taken from RFC1510)
A ticket for the server and a session key which is used to authenticate the principal.
Kerberos has the ability for a KDC is one realm to authenticate a principal in another realm if a secret is shared between the KDCs of both realms. This inter-realm authentication is called cross-realm authentication.
An algorithm used for encrypted which was the official algorithm of the United Sates Government. It was developed by IBM with assistance from the NSA. The algorithm is a sixteen round block cipher which uses a 64bit block and a 56bit key.
A ticket granted by the KDC which allows the user to request additional tickets with different IP addresses. In effect, a TGT which allows the authenticated principal to request tickets valid on other additional machines.
A set of C language bindings which provide security services to its callers. The API may be implemented on top of various cryptographic systems. Kerberos is one example of such a system.
The machine and software which perform the role of the trusted arbitrator in the Kerberos protocol.
An authentication protocol in which a trusted third party, an arbitrator, is relied upon to perform the authentication of clients on a TCP/IP network. The protocol was designed in a way that encrypted tickets are transmitted over the network rather than traditional plaintext passwords providing for secure network authentication.
(v.) The act of modifying a system, service, or piece of software to make use of the Kerberos protocol to perform authentication. (adj. kerberized) A system, service, or piece of software which supports authentication through Kerberos.
A protocol used to synchronizes clocks of hosts and routers on the Internet.
In Kerberos 5, a ticket which is invalid initially and which becomes valid at some time in the future. Normal Kerberos tickets are only valid from the time they are requested until the time that they expire.
Additional authentication which takes place before a KDC grants a TGT to a principal. An example of such authentication may be the satisfaction of a biometrics system.
A user or server for which a secret key is stored in the KDC database.
In Kerberos 5, a ticket which allows you to request a TGT for alternative IP addresses.
The scope of a Kerberos deployment. Specifically, the organization domain for which the KDC is trusted to authenticate principals.
In Kerberos 5, a ticket which allows the principal a maximum renewable lifetime in addition to the standard ticket lifetime. Renewable tickets may be used to acquire additional tickets from the KDC as long as the ticket is valid. Renewed tickets can be requested up to the maximum renewable lifetime of the original renewable ticket.
A seed value used in the encryption of a plaintext password to expand the number of possible resulting ciphertexts from a given plaintext. The use of a salt value is a defensive measure used to protect encrypted passwords against dictionary attacks.
A disk store of secret keys.
A data message consiting of the client's identity, a session key, a timestamp, and other information all encrypted with the server's secret key. It is used to perform authentication.
A service which is capable and authorized in the issuing of tickets to clients after they have acquire a Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT).
A ticket which contains a session key to be used in communication between the client and the KDC.
In Kerberos 5, the ability to chain trust together between realms building in effect a trust path so that a principal in realm X that wishes to authenticate a principal in realm Z does not need the KDC for realm X to share a secret with realm Z if both realm X and realm Z share a secret with realm Y. Realm Y can be used as a "hop" in a trust path.
A variant of DES in which data is encrypted three times with standard DES using two different keys.

Baby, Oh!
Justin Bieber played Santa this year for childhood friend Ryan Butler, giving the teen an ivory Ford Mustang convertible for Christmas, Us reported.
"Justin got me a present. #swag!!!" Butler, 17, wrote on Twitter and included a photo of the new ride.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Butler, who makes a cameo in Bieber's 2009 music video "One Time," reportedly grew up with the 17-year-old singing sensation in Stratford, Ontario.
Butler's parents told the UK Mail on Sunday newspaper they used to take care of the future "Baby" singer at age 5 when his young mother needed help.
Bieber's generosity extends beyond his inner-circle. The pop star recently vaulted to the no. 2 spot on a list of "Top 20 Celebs Gone Good for 2011."
Bieber jumped eight spots on the list from last year for having launched the "Believe Charity Drive," which benefits music education and children's cancer.
He was also praised on dosomethinggood.org for raising money for new schools across the globe as part of a campaign with Pencils of Promise.

Bipartisan Legislators Form Veterinary Medicine Caucus In the U.S. House of Representatives - An Historic First
WASHINGTON, MARCH 18, 2013 — /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR) and U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL), both veterinarians, have joined forces to form the first-ever, bipartisan Veterinary Medicine Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives.
In the March 6 letter the congressmen sent to fellow representatives inviting them to join the caucus, they underscored the critical role the profession of veterinary medicine plays in a healthy society and stated that the caucus aims to "increase awareness of the importance of veterinary medicine on research, public health, animal health and welfare, food safety and our overall economy."
Caucuses are topically focused organizational structures within Congress that are designed to convey educational content to other legislators and help generate awareness and support for specific initiatives. Caucuses can draft and advance legislation, provide Congressional testimony, and conduct briefings, events and hearings.
"I look forward to championing common sense legislation that benefits both the veterinary profession and our nation, whether that's related to animal welfare, research, food safety, or disease detection and prevention," Yoho said. "For the most part, I think that people have no idea what a major role veterinarians play in advancing the health of both animals and people. This caucus will be a great way to spread the word among legislators and other decision makers who have the power and influence to make a difference."
Congressman Schrader was equally enthusiastic in expressing support for the ground-breaking initiative. "It is great to have a fellow veterinarian and partner on the other side of the aisle in Rep. Yoho, who understands and shares the priorities of the veterinary community. Together, I hope we can use our unique experience and perspective in the field of veterinary medicine to educate and engage our fellow members of congress on its impacts on public health, animal health and welfare and food safety."
The formation of the Veterinary Medicine Caucus comes at an extremely important time, as several vitally important bills relating to veterinary medicine are currently before Congress, according to Kevin Cain, the AAVMC's director of governmental relations.
On March 12, Schrader introduced H.R. 1125, the Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program Enhancement Act (VMLRPEA), in the House of Representatives. The legislation provides a federal income tax exemption for financial awards received under the Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program (VMLRP). Such awards are currently taxed at 39 percent.
Another pending bill with broad implications for the profession of veterinary medicine is the Farm Bill, which traditionally contains important provisions that affect the quality and availability of veterinary medical services to support both the production and the safety of food in the United States.
Specific appropriations requests before the 113th Congress include continued funding for the Veterinary Medical Loan Repayment Program (VMLRP) and animal health and disease research, including funding through the National Institutes of Health.
"This is an historic and exciting development for a profession that touches the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans every day," said Dr. Andrew Maccabe, executive director of the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC). "We intend to work closely with the caucus, in partnership with the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), to advance the interests of veterinary medicine and raise awareness of the issues that affect us all."
The AAVMC, which represents academic veterinary medicine, and the AVMA, which represents the profession as a whole, traditionally work closely together to support federal legislation designed to strengthen the profession and foster programs that protect public health, promote the health and safety of the food supply and provide quality clinical care for family pets.
"Not only were we pleased with two veterinarians as part of the 113th Congress, but we are excited to see how they are using their expertise in the newly established Veterinary Medicine Caucus to advance legislation that is important to the veterinary profession," said Dr. Mark Lutschaunig, director of AVMA's governmental relations division. "Given the current budgetary issues on Capitol Hill, it is crucial that legislators realize the important role that veterinarians play in all facets of American lives, from protecting public and animal health to safeguarding our food supply to disease surveillance and research to economic development. With some of these critical programs facing funding cuts, we hope that this caucus will bring awareness to the impact that veterinary medicine has on the everyday lives of millions of Americans and animals."
AAVMC and AVMA government relations staff are already working closely with staff in Congressmen Yoho's and Schrader's offices to provide support for existing legislation and to develop strategies for increasing the visibility and effectiveness of the caucus.
The AVMA, founded in 1863, is one of the oldest and largest veterinary medical organizations in the world, with more than 84,000 member veterinarians worldwide engaged in a wide variety of professional activities and dedicated to the art and science of veterinary medicine.
The AAVMC is a non-profit membership organization working to protect and improve the health and welfare of animals, people and the environment by advancing academic veterinary medicine. Its members include all 33 veterinary medical colleges in the United States and Canada, eight departments of veterinary science, eight departments of comparative medicine, 12 international colleges of veterinary medicine, and three affiliate members.

The European Commission wants to create the requirements necessary to allow the civilian use of drones ("RPAS") as from 2016. This requires EU-wide regulations on the manufacture and operation of RPAS which are capable of dealing with the potential risks, e.g. accidents and breaches of privacy. The RPAS sector will be subsidised so that the market "develops" more quickly. In particular, SMEs will be informed about the various means of support.
The Commission wants to get an insight into national safety regulations for tourist accommodation. By way of this Green Paper, it wants to present its ideas and thoughts on how the confidence of providers and consumers can be increased, including, where necessary, by way of follow-up measures at EU level. In addition, the Commission wants to collect additional information on the safety of tourist accommodation by holding a public consultation.
There are currently no standardised measurement procedures in the EU for CO2 emissions from Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDVs) nor are there any provisions on their reduction. The Commission wants, on the one hand, the data on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from newly registered HDVs, collected by way of a simulation instrument (VECTO), to be made available to vehicle purchasers. On the other hand, it is considering two measures for reducing CO2: mandatory limits on CO2 for newly registered HDVs or the inclusion of road transport in the EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS). In this regard, the Commission prefers the introduction of CO2 limits.
The EU Commission makes proposals for strengthening the internal market for occupational pensions. It wants to facilitate cross-border IORPs business, ensure effective supervision of IORPs and enhance governance. In addition it extends the obligations for providing information to members and beneficiaries and amends the investment rules.
The European Commission proposes measures to ensure a secure energy supply in the EU. It calls on the Member States to complete the internal energy market and protect critical infrastructures such as gas pipelines against the political influence of state-owned companies in non-EU countries. In addition, it considers voluntary demand aggregation in order to improve the negotiating position of individual EU energy importers with respect to energy exporters in non-EU countries.
The European small claims procedure will be made more attractive for consumers and small businesses.
The EU Commission wants to promote financing by way of crowdfunding.

Oblivion And On
It's almost as if Bethesda Softworks have just finished a game and so have decided to work on a new one. Imagine! Yes, a date for The Elder Scrolls V has been confirmed. Well, sort of confirmed. Well, mentioned. A bit.
"Potentially there's a new Elder Scrolls title in 2010," says Bethsoft exec Chris Oughton over at GI.biz. Woo!
Frankly, I'm going to go with reading that as "we're definitely working on a new TES game, but we're not quite sure about the release date yet" rather than "we're only thinking about doing TES5." It's possible he wasn't meant to let that slip, but let's face it, it's hardly a surprise. And with Fallout 3 scoring universally between Very Good and Really Bloody Very Good, riding that goodwill train seems a smart idea.
So, what do we want to see from TES 5? If you'd be so kind as to resist wholesale Oblivion-bashing that'd be nice (c'mon, we've done that to death already in other threads) – instead let's nobly stick to constructive critique as to what can be improved, kept, removed, added, changed, funny-hatted, whatever. Let's build TES5 right here, with the power of mere words. Strong, beautiful words.
Me, I want those bizarre insect taxi things from Morrowind to come back. Oh, and does anyone know the TES lore well enough to guess at what the setting/storyline could be? Again, I'm hoping for something closer to Morrowind's weirdness (that ribcage city was extraordinary) rather than Oblivion's somewhat vanilla Tolkieniess.
Edit – A helpful fellow named Luke drops me a line about the discovery that Bethesda's owners Zenimax have apparently recently trademarked the following for clothing, video games, documentation and telecommunication respectively:
Serial Number Reg. Number
Which rather suggests TES5 will be set in Skyrim, chilly home of the fighty Nords. Which perhaps sounds a little plain, but hopefully a good opportunity for environments rather different to Oblivion's lush forestry.

Where did the name Gamachu come from? --ShounenSuki 21:52, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
The name "Gamachu" came from the video game Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, as he is a summoned toad. I would also like to point out that recently, in shippuden episode 95, there has been another toad, whom is small and green, that has been seen in Tsunade's office. I would think that it would be reasonable if we moved this page to a new page called "Gamachu", as it is his only other name, and replace the information of this page with the information of the new "Gama".--NejiByakugan360 01:32, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- Gama's name comes from First databook, doesn't it?--LeafShinobi (talk) 21:55, March 9, 2011 (UTC)
Are we sure that is a real name?? In databook are also entries for "kyodaija" (giant snakes) or ANBU.--LeafShinobi (talk) 16:50, March 16, 2011 (UTC)
Two Toads...
"Gama" and "Gamachu" are not the same. They may look similar, but wear different clothes and serve completely different purposes... If you look closely, the patterns of the, er, "stripes" are different as well. If I'm right about this, we need to make another, separate wiki entry for Gamachu. If what NejiByakugan360 said is true, Gamachu would most likely be the one wearing samurai armor. I have no clue what the name of the other one would be if it's not just "Gama". 126.96.36.199 (talk) 14:34, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
keeper of the toad summoning scroll
The line that claims Gama is the keeper of the toad summoning scroll is incorrect. I never see him carrying a scroll. Also, I am sure Jiraiya is the keeper of the scroll as he is always carrying a large scroll. Whenever he is not carrying the scroll, it is always near him. Can people stop stating that he is the scroll's keeper. It is clearly Jiraiya.
- when Naruto was given the scroll to sign Jiraiya didn't take it off his back Gama gave it to him ergo the statement Cerez365 (talk) 16:32, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
Strikes the same pose as Jiraiya
How exactly does this toad strike the same pose as Jiraiya? Can somebody please provide me with info?
- It happened when he was first introduced, Gama actually did the same pose as Jiraiya. He's been shown to be the only toad to ever do this. Cerez365 (talk) 16:31, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
I would also like to support the argument that Gamachu is the right name for this toad and that the Gama-chan page should be renamed to Gama. Teppei talk 13:47, 4/1/2013
Plus I don't think "-chan" is really a name as its only a wallet, and yes, I've played Path of the Ninja 2 and it clearly says "Gamachu" Teppei talk 13:54, 4/1/2013
- I'm pretty sure you can name your wallet whatever you want to. As explained in the article, the necklace that Gama wears has the word "loyalty" on it, which is where people inaccurately got the name Gamachu from; chu meaning loyalty.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:58, April 1, 2013 (UTC)
- Yea I know I can name it whatever I want. But what I'm trying to tell is this; Gama means Toad, so basically Naruto's just referring to his wallet as Toad-chan. And as for Gamachu, well like you said, chu means loyalty and I'm sure you know that some toads are referred without the Gama; like for Gamabunta, Gamaken and Gamahiro, they're simply referred to as Bunta, Ken and Hiro. Similar is the case for Gamachu. And I'm sure it sounds..well not-so-right if we are gonna refer to this toad as Gama, which again means toad.. It's like referring to Naruto as Human Teppei talk 15:48, 4/1/2013
- Gama is an inanimate possession. It is not uncommon for people to name things, even pets, with a descriptive name. As for Gama's name, I'm surmising that the name was given in a databook or so as ShounenSuki a translator here was actually the one to provide the name.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:12, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
Yes but can't we just name him Gamachu It's more related to frogs If you know what I mean
-- Jmootam1999 14:19, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
I think this requires further investigation. Usually when an author pulls a name out of a databook, they cite a reference. This page has no such reference. Games on the other hand don't come up with new names for existing characters. I can't check because I don't have a copy of any of the databooks right now. This is probably not the right place to ask, but I'd be grateful and happy to help if someone can send me a link/copy of the relevant databook.--Karunyan (talk) 03:26, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Thirty-six years after Richard Nixon testified to a grand jury about the Watergate break-in that drove him from office, a federal judge on Friday ordered the secret transcript made public.
But the 297 pages of testimony won't be available immediately, because the government gets time to decide whether to appeal.
The Obama administration opposed the transcript's release, chiefly to protect the privacy of people discussed during the ex-president's testimony who are still alive.
Nevertheless, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth agreed with historians who sued for release of the documents that the historical significance outweighs arguments for secrecy, because the investigations are long over and Nixon has been dead 17 years.
Nixon was interviewed behind closed doors near his California home for 11 hours over two days in June 1975, 10 months after resigning the presidency. Two grand jurors were flown in and the transcript was read to the rest of the panel sitting back in Washington. It was the first time a former U.S. president testified before a grand jury -- Bill Clinton became the first sitting president to do so during the Monica Lewinsky investigation.
At the time of his testimony, Nixon could not be prosecuted for conduct related to Watergate because he had been pardoned by President Gerald Ford. Ten days after Nixon testified, the grand jury was dismissed without making any indictments based on what he told them.
The historians say the testimony could address ongoing debate over Nixon's knowledge of the break-in at Democratic party headquarters at the Watergate complex and his role in the cover-up.
"Nixon knew when you testified before a grand jury you exposed yourself to perjury, so I'm betting he told the truth," said University of Wisconsin Professor Stanley Kutler, who filed the lawsuit along with four historians' organizations. Kutler, author of "Abuse of Power: The New Nixon Tapes," previously successfully sued to force the release of audio recordings Nixon secretly made in the Oval Office. "Now, what did he tell the truth about? I don't know."
Newspapers reported at the time of Nixon's testimony that he was questioned about the 18 1/2-minute gap in his Oval Office tapes, changes made to White House transcripts of the recordings, his administration's use of the Internal Revenue Service to harass his political enemies, and a $100,000 campaign contribution from billionaire Howard Hughes. But the details of what the president said have never leaked out.
Several Watergate figures filed declarations in support of the historians' petition, including Nixon's White House counsel John Dean, who served prison time for his role in the scandal. Dean wrote that Nixon's testimony covers topics that the president only vaguely discussed in his memoirs and his revelations to the grand jury would help stop "those wanting to twist and distort history."
In rejecting the Obama administration's arguments for privacy, Lamberth pointed out that most of the surviving Watergate figures have either written about it, given interviews or spoke under oath about their involvement in testimony that is already public. "The court is confident that disclosure will greatly benefit the public and its understanding of Watergate without compromising the tradition and objectives of grand jury secrecy," Lamberth wrote.
Justice Department spokesman Charles Miller said last Friday that government attorneys were reviewing the ruling.
Other courts have on occasion ordered the release of grand jury records because of their historical value, including those investigating espionage allegations against Alger Hiss and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

Most enterprise data today is stored in relational databases. Based on the relational data model developed in 1970 by E. F. Codd, relational databases store data in a collection of tables. Columns in each table represent the data's attributes, and rows represent individual records. Keys link records together, both within the same table and across tables. The Structured Query Language (SQL) operates on the stored data.
JDO / Relational, or JDOR for short, is a subset of the JDO specification dedicated to relational databases. JDOR standardizes how to map objects to relational tables, how to perform queries in SQL rather than JDOQL, and how to interact with database sequences. The remainder of this document covers each of these topics in detail.

After tonight's 11-1 rout, they're 76-81 and have 5 more games. Even if they win all 5 remaining games (yeah right…) they will finish at 81-81. One more loss and they clinch a sub-.500 record. Probably they won't get 80 wins. What a dismal failure…

Juvenile champion Hansen rebounded from a 9th place finish in the Kentucky Derby to trounce four overmatched rivals in the G3 Iowa Derby (97 BSF) on June 30. The Michael Maker trainee has his confidence back and will try to make it two straight in the G2 West Virginia Derby at Mountaineer on August 3.
Teeth of the Dog, stablemate of Union Rags, gamely captured the G2 Dwyer at Belmont Park on June 30. The Michael Matz trainee earned a 92 BSF and will take on Hansen in West Virginia next.
In other 3-year-old stakes action, Bob Baffert sent out Blueskiesnrainbows in the G2 Swaps and he controlled the tempo and kept on finding on the fourth of July. G3 Affirmed winner Nonios rallied for the place and Baffert runner Liaison finished 3rd. The winner earned a 102 BSF.
My Adonis threw his hat into the Haskell following a game ½ length score over Macho Macho in Monmouth's Long Branch Stakes on July 8.
Jarrod Horak's Top Ten Active 3-Year-olds
1. Union Rags (Dixie Union) – My longtime top ranked sophomore goes next in the G1 Haskell at Monmouth Park on Sunday, July 29. The Belmont Stakes hero breezed 5f in 1:00.60 (1/7) at Fair Hill on July 6.
2. Bodemeister (Empire Maker) – The Derby-Preakness bridesmaid was tuckered out after his 3rd race in 5-weeks at Pimlico. His early speed is especially dangerous up to nine panels and he could prove an elusive target in the Haskell. Worked 5f in 1:01 (11/31) at Santa Anita on 7-8.
3. Alpha (Bernardini) – Leg infection after the Wood Memorial probably contributed to his 12th place Derby effort. He spiked a fever and missed the Belmont Stakes. He is currently stabled at Saratoga and fired a 4f bullet in :47.33 (1/16) on July 7.
4. Gemologist (Tiznow) – His perfect record went down the tubes in the Derby but he came out of that with a foot bruise. He is back in Pletcher's barn with an eye on the Travers. Breezed 5f in 1:04.88 (8/10) at Saratoga (dirt training) on 7-2.
5. Hansen (Tapit) – Juvenile champion got back on the beam in facile G3 Iowa Derby victory. The G2 West Virginia Derby on 8-4 is up next, followed by the Travers.
6. Paynter (Awesome Again) – Gave Union Rags a run for his money in the Test of Champions. Baffert's lightly raced colt should continue to develop. He zipped 5f in :58.60 (1/19) on July 4 and could resurface in Saratoga's Jim Dandy on July 28.
7. Dullahan (Even The Score) – Kentucky Derby show finisher flopped in the Belmont. He loves Keeneland's Polytrack and is a competent turf performer as well. Look for him to resurface in the Haskell. Breezed 5f in 1:01 (2/11) at Churchill Downs on 7-7.
8. Neck 'n Neck (Flower Alley) – Late bloomer ran into the likes of Union Rags in Florida earlier this year. He exits back-to-back sharp Churchill wins and made the grade in the Matt Winn on June 16.
9. Went The Day Well (Proud Citizen) – G3 Spiral Stakes hero finished a troubled 4th in the Derby. My Preakness top flopped in the second jewel and seemingly had nothing left to offer after his aforementioned bad trip two weeks earlier. Breezed 4f in :48.40 (1/14) at Fair Hill on 6-23 and 5f in 1:01.20 (4/16) on 6-30.
10. Holy Candy (Candy Ride) – Expecting big things from Sadler's late developing colt. He exits a needed show finish in the G3 Affirmed and goes next in the Oceanside at Del Mar on July 18. Worked 6f in 1:13.80 (2/7) at Hollywood Park on 7-5.

Bob Costas Dilemna for Tomorrow's Sunday Night Football Game – Prohibition or Ban Cars?
The NFL is not having a very good week. This weekend two Dallas Cowboy players were involved in a car accident. Jerry Brown, 24, was killed while riding in a car with linebacker Joshua Price-Bent. The car apparently was travelling at a high rate of speed, hit a curb, flipped over and caught on fire.
Bent was seen trying to help his teammate out of the car when police arrived. He was brought to the hospital and pronounced dead. Bent failed a sobriety test. The exact amount he was over the legal limit is not known at this time, but he has been charged with intoxication manslaughter (never heard of such a thing).
A tragedy for both men. Bent faces 20 years in prison if convicted and of course a very young man has lost his life. My deepest sympathies to his loved ones.
The dilemma comes does Bob Costas during his lecture to the Sunday Night Football watching public decide to ban cars or bring back prohibition?
I am not trying to make light of a horrible situation, but this question must be asked. Professional athletes have a culture of drugs and drinking just as much as a culture of guns. So with Costas' logic, they must be banned from all society because these individuals can't handle the money, fame, and all the things that come with it.
Your guess on which it will be?
