text:
These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on Altered Minds. They shall be adhered to by everyone to ensure that our board runs smoothly and provides a fun and productive experience for all of our community members and visitors.
Purpose of this site, roughly stated, is shared investigation and exploration of hidden and anomalous aspects of human experience. The focus is generally on "controversial" subjects such as parapolitics, organized child abuse, the "paranormal," UFOs, occultism, conspiracy theory, and social, cultural & religious engineering in its many forms.
The spirit of the board is cooperative and not competitive, to share information and perspectives and work together towards a deeper understanding of the subjects being discussed. The board has no ideological affiliations and overtly ideology-based arguments are discouraged (i.e., partisan or anti-partisan posts).
At the risk of pointing out the obvious, a certain style of posting not only puts others off from participating, but also sets the tone for those who do. With this in mind, certain behaviors are also strongly discouraged:
Personal attacks and criticisms based solely on sex, race, creed, mental health, intelligence, religion or ideology; ad hominen arguments in general.
"Spam-posting" (copy-pasting articles without providing context and personal input).
Extreme or repeat form of these behaviors may result in suspension or deactivation of a user's account.
Some guidelines and suggestions:
When making counter-arguments use the quote function rather than paraphrasing; this helps to avoid 'straw man' argumentation and the resulting escalation/polarization.
Regarding sharing of "difficult" material from "dodgy" sites (that may be seen as propaganda, "fake news," or "hate" sites by some), this is obviously a tricky thing to regulate. Sometimes relevant material is found via sources that may be less than trustworthy (eg, Jew World Order, Rense.com, or the Washington Post!). A word to acknowledge this can help to prevent "source-scorning."
This board categorically acknowledges the historical facts pertaining to high-level organized child abuse (Franklin Scandal, Dutroux affair, UK care-homes), government mind control (MKULTRA etc), and ritual abuse that is linked to occult systems and philosophies. As such, it will not tolerate derision, dismissal or unfounded debunking of these facts (eg. by advocating "False Memory Syndrome" or the "Satanic panic"/Witch-Hunt narratives).
This is not to shut down or limit discussion around these subjects, but to provide a relatively safe, compassionate, and respectful space for the many survivors of these programs. #

Hunter shoots exotic deer in Minnesota
A deer hunter in northwestern Minnesota shot what turned out to be an axis deer Sunday.
An exotic species, axis deer are native to India.
Stuart Bensen, conservation officer for the Department of Natural Resources in Erskine said he received a call Sunday afternoon from a hunter who'd shot the deer. The animal was a spike buck, Bensen said, and was about 60 percent white with areas of brown down the middle and spots along its sides.
"The buck had 6- to 7-inch spikes but they didn't go straight up," Bensen said. "They kind of went out at a 40-degree angle. It was kind of spooky looking, actually."
According to Bensen, the hunter said he was walking through some grass when the buck stood up and looked at him. The hunter thought it was an albino whitetail buck, at first, but then saw the spots and became concerned and called the conservation officer.
Bensen said he told the hunter not to tag the deer and then arranged to meet the hunter to pick up the buck. The hunter hadn't committed any violations in shooting the deer.
The deer had a metal tag in its ear and had escaped from an area game farm, Bensen said. A representative from the state Board of Animal Health picked up the buck from Bensen on Monday morning and plans were in the works to test the deer for disease.

Grammy-winning musician Chris Brown's neighbours are unhappy with the creepy art he's chosen to have painted along the curb of his Hollywood Hills home.
The Los Angeles Times reports a neighbourhood group says the grimacing, sharp-toothed, red-eyed goblins painted along a retaining wall are scaring children.
Los Angeles city code officials cited the Run It! singer $US376 ($A374.30) for unpermitted and excessive signage and ordered him to remove it within 30 days.
Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos says neighbours are harassing Brown, whose tumultuous relationship with singer Rihanna and foul-mouthed Twitter presence have given him a bad boy reputation.
Brown won a Grammy in 2011 for Best R&B Album with F.A.M.E. and was arrested shortly after the 2009 awards ceremony for assaulting Rihanna.

Illinois educator selected as finalist for National History Teacher of the Year
Joshua Bill of Waukegan High School one of five up for award
SPRINGFIELD, IL — Illinois History Teacher of the Year Joshua Bill of Waukegan has been named as one of five finalists for The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History's 2012 National History Teacher of the Year Award. The Illinois State Board of Education is a partner in the award program, which is co-sponsored by the HISTORY channel and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation through its Preserve America program.
"We're thrilled to share this news, though I'm sure his students are not surprised to hear that Joshua Bill is a finalist for this prestigious honor,†said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "Bringing history to life for students is a remarkable talent, and Joshua has clearly demonstrated he is a gifted educator.â€
Joshua was named Illinois History Teacher of the Year in May after nominations were sent to the Illinois State Board of Education and a selection committee chose the Waukegan High School teacher for the honor, thus qualifying him for the national competition. Waukegan High is part of Waukegan Public School District 60, about 45 miles north of Chicago.
Joshua, who has taught at WHS since 2004, was also the recipient of the 2012 Olive Foster Outstanding Teacher Award from the Illinois State Historical Society. His accomplishments include leading his students to success at the Chicago Metro History Fair and the National History Day competition. He also serves as a coach for the We the People Simulated Congressional Hearings Competitions and mentors young teachers through his alma mater, Lake Forest College. In addition, Joshua partners with the Waukegan Historical Society, giving his students the opportunity to conduct research for projects.
The National History Teacher of the Year will be named this fall and will receive a $10,000 award and a trip, along with two of his or her students, to the national award ceremony.
"We are pleased to announce these finalists, first identified by nominations submitted from around the country, and now selected as the most remarkable in the nation from the group of 50-plus state winners,†said Lesley Herrmann, Executive Director of the Gilder Lehrman Institute. "Each of them represents the very best teaching that this country has to offer, and they should be celebrated for their accomplishments.â€
The other four candidates for the 2012 National History Teacher of the Year are Ted Dickson of Providence Day School in Charlotte, N.C., Amy Perruso of Mililani High School in Hawaii, Julian Hipkins III of Capital City Public Charter School in Washington, D.C., and Jan McClaren of Claremore High School in Claremore, Okla.
The History Teacher of the Year Award alternates each year to honor K-6 teachers one year and those teaching grades 7-12 the next. Top teachers are selected at the state level and then are considered for the national award. Nominations can be made by students, parents, colleagues, supervisors or other education professionals. To be considered for the 2013 award, K-6 teachers must be nominated by Feb. 1, 2013. For more information about the nomination process for 2013, visit www.gilderlehrman.org/nhtoy.
The national winner is chosen from a pool of winners from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. Territories, and Department of Defense Schools. Each state honoree receives $1,000 and an archive of books and resources from Gilder Lehrman and HISTORY for his or her school's library.
The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, which was founded in 1994 by Richard Gilder and Lewis Lehrman, is a nonprofit organization devoted to the improvement of history education. Preserve America, a federal partnership program started in 2003, is led by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and encourages community efforts to preserve the cultural heritage of the United States, as well as associated natural resources. HISTORY offers programming on a variety of historical genres, from military history to contemporary history, technology to natural history, as well as science, archaeology and pop culture.

is AMAZING!!! But that's no surprise to most people here. They've always come through in a pinch for me. I've called with measurements on a Tuesday and picked up a custom shaft on the way to Harlan on Thursday, and they did it again this week.
Sunday, the upper joint (double cardan) started chirping. Since I knew my world was going to get really busy on Monday, I pulled the shaft Sunday night. While trying to grease the center ball, I screwed up the fitting because I didn't have the right tool and I tried to make something work.
On the way to the hospital on Monday, I called and talked to Steven (Stephen?). He said if I could get it there Tuesday he'd do his best to get it back to me by Friday. Luckily Taylor was able to pick it up from the MCJ meeting and get to Carolina Driveline first thing Tuesday morning. The fixed shaft showed up on my front porch Thursday afternoon!
They even touched it up from the rock rash.
The only complaint I have is they have switched to shredded paper packaging, on greasy things, and it sticks to everything...
I really like how involved the staff is. They are one of the few companies/vendors nearby that participate in events, see and be seen.

Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet
Very similar to and sometimes difficult to distinguish from the Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet. Consequently, the distribution of the Five-spot Burnet is imperfectly known. In general, the forewing of the Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet is longer and more pointed, the upper angle of the hindwing being more pointed and the black border of the hindwing being narrower than those of the Five-spot Burnet. Rarely the red colour is replaced by yellow.
Sometimes found commonly, the moth flies with a slow buzzing flight during sunshine and visits a range of flowers.

This latest pic of Beyoncé's twins is missing one key detail
While we love a relatable, puts-everything-out-there celeb parent (hi, Chrissy Teigen?we love you!), Beyoncé and Jay-Z are definitely not that. Since announcing the birth of their twins, Rumi and Sir, last year, we haven't really seen much of them anywhere on social media. Until now.
Beyoncé recently shared a picture on her website of her holding the now 13-month-old twins in her lap while their family vacationed in Europe during their joint On The Run II tour. But in typical Beyoncé fashion, the picture doesn't have a caption and isn't given any more context other than the title of the photo collection "Thank You Europe." Take a look:
Photo: beyonce.com
This is the first time that we've seen these two since the pop queen announced their birth about a year ago, and they've grown so much!

10 questions we have about the first photo of Beyoncé and Jay-Z's twinsHowever, the photo is missing one thing: Identification. Which twin is which" The general consensus is that the serious-looking one on the left is Sir, and the happy-go-lucky one on the right is Rumi. Besides their demeanours, this assumption is probably based on the left baby's shorter hair and cute orange shorts and the right baby'...

develop-online.net: The producer and director of the revamped version of Final Fantasy XIV Naoki Yoshida has said another error like the original could have catastrophic consequences for Square Enix.
Honestly I'm surprised the first FFXIV didn't destroy Square Enix. Particularly after all that FFXIII, FFXIII-2, FFXIII-3, Type-0 and Versus-XIII nonsense.
I mean I dont even think they care, theyre releasing three games from the worst FF game ever. If they do FF14 correctly this time they may get better. Im hoping for the best because I want to play that game.
square you had it coming for the way you have been treating your fans and franchises now lets hope crapcom and EA go through this
Stop slaughtering your own franchise then? It's as if these clowns have no idea what make thier own franchise great.
As much as I love the old Square games I wouldn't even be remotely upset if they disappeared. The ONLY reason I am happy to see the company still together is that people have jobs there and I don't want to see anyone out of work.

"When we began this campaign five years ago, we embarked on a mission to help drivers become more aware of the rules of the road. We've seen the results ebb and flow, and this year, scores are down. This reiterates the fact that each and every one of us need to continually be brushing up on safe driving practices." –Wade Bontrager, senior vice president-affinity division, GMAC Insurance.
GMAC Insurance recently polled more than 5,000 licensed drivers in the U.S. from all 50 states and the District of Columbia to try and gauge automotive driver knowledge by administering 20 actual questions taken from Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) exams used across the country.
Now, before we get started discussing the results – which are startling, to say the least – let's lay a few caveats out on the table. First, it's my belief that the score one gets on written tests doesn't necessarily correspond directly to driving skill. While written testing is important part of a driver's education – you've got to know the rules, and there's no better way to find out if you know them or not than by testing you about them – it's not the end-all and be-all of separating the good drivers from the bad.
Second, the type of questions that make up these tests is critical, too. One of the reasons I believe there is such ignorance by car drivers of the operating characteristics of big rigs is that the DMV written tests they take lack information about them. So what kinds of questions these tests ask is something that needs to be looked at closely.
Ok, with all that being said, GMAC's survey still dug up some pretty surprising facts: such as 20.1 percent of licensed Americans – amounting to roughly 41 million drivers on the road – would not pass a written drivers test exam if taken today. The poll also found that drivers in the Northeast had the lowest average test scores (74.5 percent), drivers in the South had the highest failure rate (41 percent), while drivers in the Midwest had the highest average test scores (79 percent) and the lowest failure rates (15 percent).
[If you'd rather "watch" the survey results instead of read about them, view the video below.]
Overall, findings from GMAC's fifth annual "driver knowledge" survey indicate the number of drivers with knowledge of basic road rules is decreasing, with this year's test scores lower than last year's (76.6 percent vs. 78.1 percent).
Idaho and Wisconsin drivers tied for first in the nation, with an average test score of 80.6 percent; New York drivers ranked last, with an average score of 70.5 percent. This is the second time Idaho ranked first and the third time New York has ranked last in the survey's five-year history, GMAC noted.
The survey – administered by TNS for GMAC – constructed a representative national comprised of 5,183 licensed drivers in the U.S., aged 16 to over 60 and reported at least one factoid I think no one will find surprising; the older the driver, the higher the test score. Drivers 35 years and older were most likely to pass, while young adults aged 18 to 24 recorded the highest failure rates. White males older than 45 received the highest average score, the study noted.
When comparing genders, men are still more likely to pass the test than women. However, the gap is considerably smaller in 2009 (81 percent of males versus 79 percent of females) than in 2008 (87 percent of males versus 80 percent of females).
What conclusions can we draw from the data gathered by GMAC's survey? Bluntly, we've got more work to do in terms of better educating car drivers out there. Because – to my way of thinking – a more knowledgeable driver can eventually become a safer driver. That doesn't mean book learning translates into better driving skills; not by any means. But better and more thorough knowledge of the rules of the road can help them improve significantly.

Puget Systems Serenity Core i5 HTPC Review - Essentially Silent
Looking at the Exterior
We have had some really good experiences with Puget Systems pre-built PCs in the past and a little while ago, the company sent us a modestly priced HTPC based on the Serenity line of systems. Based on the Intel Core i5 Sandy Bridge platform, the Serenity has a lot of customizations that help keep the computer quiet that are unique.
With a cost hovering around $1800 though, does the Serenity offer enough to consumers?
The Serenity Home Theater PC
The Puget Systems Serenity line actually spans small form factor chassis, HTPC designs and even standard desktop ATX designs, one of which we have previously reviewed. Today we are going to be showing you the HTPC form factor that could fit in your home theater furniture (if you have some hefty space available). Let's look quickly at the specifications before we dive into the design.
Click to Enlarge
- Intel Core i5-2500K
- ASUS H67 Motherboard
- 4GB DDR3-1333 Memory
- 120GB Intel 320 SSD
- 1.5TB Western Digital Caviar Green HDD
- ASUS 12x Blu-Ray Burner
- Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Continue reading our review of the Puget Systems Serenity HTPC!!
The chassis design of the Puget Serenity HTPC comes from the Antec New Solution Series 2480 though you will see soon that the interior has been modified quite a bit. This case can fit a mATX motherboard and full size graphics cards, though with the HTPC target and lower noise/power consumption, much of that space is unused.
The front of the chassis includes USB and audio connections for easy access.
The left side has some exhaust areas...
While the right hand side has two very quiet 120mm fans to bring in cool air to the system.
The back of the case isn't as sexy though it is where all the magic happens. A Seasonic power supply holds everything together.
Looking at the back plane on the ASUS H67 motherboard you can see quite a few of the features it offers including HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA and DVI video output options, analog and digital audio, FireWire, eSATA, USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet. What is missing? For us, an HTPC should probably include wireless network connectivity as well.
Finally, on the bottom of the Antec case you'll find four very strong rubber feet to keep vibration and noise from moving from the PC chassis to its stand, etc.
Now, let's open up the Serenity and see what Puget Systems has added.
For any DIY'ers interested in building this setup on their own, Ryan's estimate of $1400 is about right. I NewEgg'd the same parts (as best i could) for ~$1,320+shipping. Was the cooler the Scythe Big Shuriken 2? And which Seasonic PSU? I priced an M12II-620 (way overkill, but both a cheap and good psu).
A couple notes:
1)Newegg has the silver version of the case that includes a 380W PSU (Antec EarthWatts) and 2 tri-speed 120mm fans which are silent on low speed (assuming same fan as in my 300 case). The pictures in the article also only show a single 120mm Scythe side fan. Not replacing these would save ~$105.
2)Currently HDD prices are inflated due to flooding. Assuming prices come back down when that's over, the price for a 1.5TB will drop $50 or more.
3)The Corsair Force Series 3 120GB offers better performance for cheaper price. Save $30 over the Intel SSD.
So, stock PSU and fans, and better/cheaper SSD brings the price down to $1,185 +shipping, AcoustiPack (~$30), and hdd damping box. A little less when HDD prices come back down.
Shouldn't a HTPC be able to do run 24p properly?
So.... where's the testing of bluray and HD decoding? It's a HTPC after all right?
I personally had Ironside computers build an HTPC for much less than this. They don't sell it on their website, but they did such an awesome job on my desktop that I figured I might as well ask them. Turns out they can custom build them for you, and they build a really nice one for me for about $1100. and it does everything I need for a HTPC. Check them out yourselves at IronsideComputers.com.

- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (if needed)
For Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon oil
- pinch of asafetida
- 1/4 teaspoon black mustard seed
- 2 red chilies broken in pieces
- 6 to 8 curry leaves (1 sprig)
- Peel coconut and cut into small pieces for easy blending.
- Roast chana dal on medium heat until it is light brown in color and has a roasted aroma.
- Coarsely grind chana dal in a blender. Add yogurt, green chilies, and salt and continue blending into the paste.
- Add coconut to the paste, a few
pieces at a time and keep blending. Add water, as needed, to help with the grinding. (Adding the coconut in small amounts also helps this process).
- Before removing from blender,
taste chutney to adjust the salt and pepper. Use lemon juice to adjust the tang to suit your taste. Blend well.
- Heat oil in small pan. When hot, add black mustard seeds.
- When the seeds crack, add asafetida, red chilies and curry leaves.
- Pour the seasoning mixture over the chutney.
Coconut chutney can be refrigerated up to a week.

Headley facing uncertain future with Padres
CLEVELAND -- The so-called "contract-year phenomenon" -- the belief that certain athletes rise to the occasion on the eve of their free-agent eligibility, only to return to their career norms after the ink dries on their megadeals -- is a concept Chase Headley can't quite wrap his mind around.
Not even now, in the midst of his own contract year.
CLEVELAND -- The so-called "contract-year phenomenon" -- the belief that certain athletes rise to the occasion on the eve of their free-agent eligibility, only to return to their career norms after the ink dries on their megadeals -- is a concept Chase Headley can't quite wrap his mind around.
Not even now, in the midst of his own contract year.
"This is a really difficult game," Headley said. "Maybe there are guys who can do that. But trust me, my good seasons versus my worst seasons aren't due to effort."
Were the phenomenon based in fact, Headley probably wouldn't be batting .107 a little more than a week into a season that might very well be his last in San Diego. And for that matter, if player performance was merely a matter of effort, his Padres probably wouldn't be carrying a .595 team OPS into Wednesday's doubleheader with the Indians.
Headley's early numbers -- like the vast majority of statistics being posted on scoreboards in these early weeks of the season -- aren't indicative of anything, really. And let's not read too much into San Diego's early struggles, either. The Padres are still considered a potential sleeper in the National League West, although injuries (Cameron Maybin, Carlos Quentin and Josh Johnson are all hurt … again) continue to hamper a club that used the disabled list 43 times combined during the 2012 and '13 seasons.
But let's say Headley rounds into form and San Diego doesn't. Surely, then, the Padres would finally be forced to part with their hot-corner staple at the July 31 Trade Deadline, right? Surely, then, Headley, who has had his name associated with the Yankees nearly as much as the Padres in recent months, would be propelled to the land of pinstripes, no?
Well, not necessarily.
For starters, let's see how Headley responds to the early-season struggles at the plate. Already, we might be seeing the ill effects of the three weeks Headley missed during Spring Training due to a calf injury. As was the case last year, when he fractured his thumb in mid-March, it's been slow going out of the chute. But unlike last year, when the thumb issue coincided with a knee injury that eventually required offseason surgery, Headley doesn't feel physically restricted in searching for his swing.
"I'm finally getting my legs under me," Headley said. "That's the biggest thing. It's getting the conditioning back and getting used to being on your feet every day. You really need that spring to get you not just the repetitions, but also the stamina to have your body bounce back. That's baseball -- figuring out the best way to give yourself a chance to feel good every day. When you don't have your legs under you, it makes it pretty tough."
The thing is, even Headley's injury-affected 2013 was still pretty good by the standards of the average third baseman. Headley did not match his output of 2012, when he broke out with 31 homers and 115 RBIs in 161 games. However, he did post a weighted runs created mark that was 13-percent better than league average, and a WAR number that ranked sixth among all Major League third basemen.
In other words, if you embrace the growing assumption that 2012 was an extreme outlier in Headley's career, his average production is still acceptable and still quite valuable.
And that leads to the next issue, which involves Headley's trade value relative to the value of keeping him for the length of 2014.
Again, San Diego's play will be the foremost determining factor as to whether Headley will even be available to other teams. Right now, manager Bud Black's club looks familiar: The Padres aren't exactly healthy, and they aren't exactly producing, either -- their hitters entered Wednesday batting .138 with runners in scoring position. The Friars have a lot of optimism about a rotation in which Andrew Cashner and Tyson Ross took a big step forward last season, but Ross is very much a work in progress, as evidenced by his nine walks so far in 10 1/3 innings and San Diego's attempts to get him to move toward the middle of the rubber.
Oh, and Johnson is hurt, so that relatively low-risk reclamation project isn't off to the strongest of starts, either.
If this sleeper stays asleep, the expectation to move Headley will be strong. The Padres' incentive to do so, however, might not be as enticing as some assume. The way teams value Draft picks these days, it's difficult to see San Diego getting a meaningful return for a half-season (or less) of Headley, whose trade value peaked at the end of 2012.
More enticing, it seems, would be to make a qualifying offer after the season and get a Draft pick should Headley sign elsewhere. In fact, the qualifying offer, which could exceed $15 million, might be enticing to Headley, who has made no secret about his desire to stay in San Diego.
"That's all something that you have to sift through and sort through as you're trying to figure out what makes sense and what doesn't," Headley said. "Fortunately, I have some representation that's done some analysis of that. At the end of the day, you have to trust that the research and the work that's been done will ultimately be the right answer."
Right now, Headley and the Padres are searching for answers to what's troubled them the first week of the season. Headley knows he's not going to hit .100 all year, and he also knows his response to his early struggles is being closely monitored both by his own team and several others.
But if Headley does get out of his April funk and go off, try not to attribute it to the contract-year phenomenon.
"It's a contract year every year," he said. "Until you've signed an extension, you're playing for your life every year."

MIAMI (AP) — Two days after team leaders held a players-only meeting, Alabama coach Nick Saban says the Crimson Tide's performance in Monday's BCS championship against Notre Dame will show a lot about whether his players have put aside the "clutter" that comes with their success.
"You fight against human nature a little bit," Saban said Saturday at media day for the title game.
In the past, Saban has taken issue with the phrase "defending champions." He delivered a message of moving on to his players two days after winning last season's BCS title.
He said the gist was: "You guys are not the national champions."
"Other than making you a target," he said, "it doesn't do anything for you."
Alabama is still the target.
Tide players held the meeting because they wanted their teammates to get more focused in practice. Two freshmen linebackers — who aren't part of the playing rotation — were sent home Friday for curfew violations.
No. 2 Alabama is favored by more than a touchdown, which is OK with Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly.
"Somebody's got to be an underdog," Kelly said during his turn at the podium. "Alabama's got the belt; they deserve to have the belt, and we've got to try to take it from them."
The Tide is seeking its third national title in four years. No. 1 Notre Dame has its own impressive collection but none since 1988.
Kelly hopes to reach that same level Saban has achieved, ensuring that this isn't a one-time opportunity.
"Your program is defined in consistency, and Alabama is that model," he said. "I concede to that. It's where we want to be. We want to be back here next year.
"There's been some commentators that talk about, 'Is Notre Dame for real?' Well, for me, we're for real because we're here. We've won all our games."
Kelly said he gets the vibe that his team is ready for Monday night. He says he doesn't want the "outside, perceived pressure to weigh heavily" on players.
Alabama players have been here and done this, including the hype and sometimes off-the-wall questions of what amounts to a downsized version of the Super Bowl media day.
"I mean, I think it's the media that makes the game so much bigger," Tide quarterback AJ McCarron said "Me personally, I think it's just another game.
"Yeah, you're playing for a national championship, but it's another football game. You know, the field is still 53 yards wide, 100 yards long. Still got to put the ball in the end zone to win the game. I don't really pay too much attention to the title of the game, I guess."
In other words, the label "BCS championship" is just more clutter.

02.20.13: CCRI Cross Country and Track sensation Bobby Allen (Cranston, RI) will be honored as the Tom Doherty/Male Athlete of the year Award at the 67th annual Words Unlimited Sports Awards Banquet this Sunday night February the 24th at the Radisson hotel on Post Rd. in Warwick. Allen becomes the first ever CCRI Student-athlete to earn this prestigious award which has been won in the past by Rhode Island sports legends such as: Ernie DiGregorio, Davey Lopes, Mark Van Eeghen, Brad Faxon and Rocco Baldelli, just to name a few.
Allen burst upon the seen for the Community College of Rhode Island cross country and track teams with a flourish in the 2011-12 academic year. In a year and a half, Bobby has amassed six All-American honors, four national championships, two national records and six college records for the Knights. With indoor and outdoor track seasons to finish during his CCRI career, he has an opportunity to earn additional All-American and national championship honors.
Allen came into the 2011 season with high expectations, but no one predicted he would go on to win four of the eight meets he entered. He became the first-ever CCRI runner to win the Division III Cross Country National Championship, outrunning 154 competitors to complete the 8,000-meter course in the NJCAA Division III national record time of 25 minutes and 23.46 seconds, averaging 5:06.5 per mile. Allen was challenged by Pablo Ramirez of Harper, Cesar Gatete of the Community College of Allegheny and Chris Burnett of SUNY-Delhi over the first 3,000 meters of the race. At the 4,000-meter mark, he battled Burnett, who could handle the five-minute per mile pace. Allen ran away with the win with 400 meters to go, pulling off a gigantic surge to which Burnett could not respond. For his efforts, he became the national champion and earned First Team All-American honors.
During the winter, Allen was a member of CCRI's indoor track squad, which competes at the NJCAA Division I level with many scholarship athletes. During the season, he set CCRI school records in the 3,000-meter, mile and 800-meter. He set the mile record three times, which now stands at 4:11.79, and he set the 3,000-meter record twice, which now stands at 8:29.27. Allen only competed in the 800-meter race once, and set the college record with an impressive time of 2:04.07. He qualified for the national championship held at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Ill. in all three events, but only competed in the mile and 3,000-meter. In his first event, Allen won the 3,000 meter run with a time of 8 minutes and 34.87 seconds, outkicking Kenyan sophomore Stanley Kebenei from Iowa Central Community College in the last lap. He won by the narrow margin of .27 seconds. Allen and Kebenei later competed at the championships as the top two seeds in the mile run. Allen's finishing kick again proved to be too much for Kebenei and he finished the race in an impressive time of 4:14.93, outpacing Kebenei by .7 seconds. Kebenei came into the meet as the top middle-distance runner in the mile, 3,000-meter and 5,000-meter and was later named the David Rowlands Male Athlete of the Year by the NJCAA after only losing two races all year to Bobby Allen.
Allen capped his spectacular freshman campaign with an excellent year in outdoor track and field. During that season, he rewrote the record book, breaking the 1,500-meter record three times, which now stands at 3:55.70, and the NJCAA national meet record, which is 3:55.99. He also broke the 5,000-meter record with a time of 15.16.22. He finished the season by competing at the Division III track and field national championship at Alfred State College in Alfred, N.Y. He won the 1,500m run with a national meet record of 3:55.99 seconds. Allen was challenged by Younes Benzaid of Queensborough Community College over the first 1,000 meters of the race, but surged ahead with 500 meters to go. Benzaid had no answer for Allen's tremendous finishing-kick. Allen returned an hour-and-a-half later to place second in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 15:32.16. He was outpaced by Pablo Ramirez, who came into the race as the favorite, running a qualifying time of 14.47.34 (the national meet record was 15:10.92). Ramirez finished the race in a national meet record time of 15:04.42. Allen earned First Team All-American honors for the 1,500-meter run and Second Team All-American honors for the 5,000-meter run.
In fall 2012, Allen led the Knights to their first-ever appearance in the Division I Cross Country National Championship held at Rend Lake College in Ina, Ill. On the route to the nationals, Allen won six of the eight races in which he competed. He set course records at New Hampshire Tech, which stand at 25:53, and at Franklin Park, where he ran the fastest JUCO time ever, 25:11.46. Allen finished the challenging 8k course at Rend Lake in fifth place (25:54.9) to be the first CCRI runner to earn First Team All-American honors in Division I cross country. He has earned six All-American honors in six attempts and three Division I All-American honors during his CCRI running career.
Head Cross Country and Track Coach Gregg Cornell said, "We are all proud and happy for Bobby who continues to rewrite the history running books here at CCRI. He has been the leader of our cross country and track programs since he walked through the doors. He is, by far, our hardest worker who leads by example. No matter what the coaches ask of him, he does it and his only question is, 'What's next coach?' In addition, he loves competition; the tougher the competition the better he performs. It is a pleasure coaching him and watching his success as he is rewarded for all his hard work and dedication to the CCRI cross country and track programs."
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

Brown Arrests Two Men who Stole Millions Through Phony Stock Sale
Riverside – Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. announced that agents from his office, working with law enforcement in Tennessee and Nevada, arrested two individuals earlier this week for stealing millions of dollars through "phony stock sales" and an illegal pyramid scheme.
The defendants -- James A. Sweeney, II, 62, of Afton, TN and Patrick M. Ryan, 34, of Canyon Lake, CA -- were arrested on June 3, 2009 in Afton, TN and Las Vegas, NV, respectively, and are being held until they are extradited to Riverside County. Both face 78 counts of grand theft and securities fraud. Bail has been set at $8.8 million each.
"These two con men stole $8.8 million dollars through phony stock sales and an illegal pyramid scheme," Brown said. "They stole investors' money and used it to pay for luxury homes, fancy cars and a $100,000 Las Vegas wedding."
Brown's complaint contends that Sweeney and Ryan, co-founders of Riverside-based Big Co-op, Inc., stole $8.8 million from more than 1,000 Californians through an illegal pyramid scheme and phony stock sales.
Big Co-op, also operating as Ez2Win.biz, purported to be an online shopping hub where consumers could go to purchase thousands of goods and services from big name retailers including, Sears, Target and Macy's, at discounted prices.
Pyramid Scheme
Consumers were informed that if they purchased a Big Co-op membership, they could save money on their own purchases and also earn commissions and rewards by convincing others to shop on the site.
In reality, consumers never received rebates or rewards. Instead, profits were based on recruiting others to purchase memberships, and having those purchasers recruit others to purchase memberships (and so on).
Members earned $100 commissions for every six members recruited. Those recruited then paid Big Co-op from $19.95 to $99.95 in ongoing monthly membership fees.
According to the complaint, from 2005 to 2007, Big Co-op generated $1.3 million in revenues through this pyramid scheme.
Phony Stock Sale
In addition to the pyramid scheme, the two sold phony stock in Big Co-op as a stand-alone investment and as part of certain membership plans.
At seminars and meetings across California, Sweeney and Ryan pitched Big Co-op as the future of online commerce, compared it to Google and EBay, and falsely informed investors the company was already turning huge profits. Investors were also told that an initial public offering (IPO) was imminent, and that when the company went public, the shares could climb to well over $100 per share.
In reality, Big Co-op was never profitable, there was not an impending IPO, and the only significant revenue generated was a result of the sale of phony stock and membership fees for the pyramid scheme.
Shares in the company were sold for $0.50 to $5.00, with two-for-one deals offered to investors willing to pay cash. From 2005 to 2007, Big Co-op took in $7.5 million from this scheme.
With investor cash, Sweeney and Ryan bought luxury homes, country club memberships, five Mercedes, paid for a $100,000 Las Vegas wedding and ran up $30,000 to $50,000 in monthly credit card bills.
After receiving numerous complaints, the California Department of Corporations issued two "Desist and Refrain Orders" against Sweeney, Ryan and other associates: the first, on October 23, 2006, directed them to cease selling stock in the company and the second, on May 2, 2007, directed them to cease selling memberships in the company. Following the second order, the case was referred to Brown's office for prosecution.
On May 29, 2009, Brown filed 78 criminal charges in Riverside County Superior Court against both Sweeney and Ryan for:
• Grand theft, in violation of California Penal Code section 487(a);
• Sale of unqualified securities in violation of California Corporations Code section 25110;
• Fraud in the offer of securities in violation of California Corporations Code sections 25540/25401;
• Operation of a fraudulent securities scheme in violation of California Corporations Code sections 25540/25541; and
• Operation of an endless chain scheme in violation of California Penal Code section 327.
If convicted on all charges, each could face more than 25 years in prison.
These arrests build on Brown's commitment to protect Californians from the get-rich-quick schemes that proliferate in a down economy. In the past few months, Brown has entered into settlements enforcing tough restrictions on three companies – YTB International, Imergent, Inc. and Stores On Line - that falsely promised customers that they could earn full-time income by selling merchandise and travel over the Internet.

With the extension for quarterback Matt Ryan out of the way, the Falcons are free to consider other moves with their remaining salary cap space.
There doesn't appear to be anything in the offing, however. General Manager Thomas Dimitroff said in an interview with former NFL tight end Alge Crumpler on 790 The Zone that the Falcons have a fair amount of space under the cap, around $7 million, but that they weren't in any rush to spend the money on anybody.
That presumably includes linebacker Shawne Merriman, who offered his services to the team via Twitter, and definitely includes defensive lineman Richard Seymour. There has been a lot of chatter about a possible match between the two sides, but Dimitroff said nothing's on the front burner right now.
"There is some room, but we also have to keep in consideration that if injuries come about that we have some money to make sure that we help ourselves if something does come about," Dimitroff said, via D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "We're not jumping right in. We're not jumping in to spend money because we have a few bucks in our pocket right now. … Again, our focus right now is to make sure that we get through the [exhibition season] here. I know there is a lot of talk about Richard and Richard is a fine man. There is no more discussion here at this point about having him in here."
Dimitroff then added that one should "never say never," which either means Seymour would be an option in case of an injury or that Dimitroff would restart those discussions if Seymour's price tag were to come down. Either way, there's no change to the status quo at present.

PORTLAND — Officials with Oregon's troubled health insurance exchange say they've narrowed the options for the site's future to two: switching to the federal exchange, or staying with the current technology and hiring a new contractor to fix it.
Cover Oregon's interim chief information officer Alex Pettit told board members Thursday that a third option — transferring technology from another state — would be too expensive and take too long.
Earlier this month, Maryland chose to replace its glitch-filled exchange with technology from Connecticut at an estimated cost of $40 million to $50 million.
Cover Oregon's exchange is the only one in the nation that still doesn't let the public enroll in coverage in one sitting. Instead, the public must use a time-consuming hybrid paper-online application process.
The technology fiasco has been an embarrassment for Oregon and its governor, Democrat John Kitzhaber. The state usually is seen as a pioneer in health care.
A February report by Cover Oregon consultant Deloitte Development LLC made public in April found the least expensive fix for Oregon's health exchange would be linking it to the federally run marketplace, at a cost of $4 million to $6 million. The transition would take five to eight months, the report said.
Officials said that option meets the timeline, requires no further development and is functional. It also allows Oregon to maintain control over plans offered.
But it would also mean the loss of full integration of Medicaid and private health plans, a key aspect of Oregon's earlier exchange aspirations.
Fixing Cover Oregon's existing portal with the help of a new technology contractor would cost $25.5 million in development and maintenance costs just this year — not counting 2015 costs, according to the Deloitte report.
That option maintains the current infrastructure and technology, but would require reworking of code and architecture, the hiring of staff with more expertise, and some new development.
Using another state's technology would cost Oregon $17 million to $20 million to buy and configure technology that's already working in another state, according to the Deloitte analysis.
That option also would mean the state has to bring in new hardware and software to run the exchange.
Officials said at this time they are focused only on making the website work for individuals. Fixing the small-business plan selection part of the portal has been deferred to 2015, because it would add to the cost and complexity of revamping the troubled exchange.
A Cover Oregon technology committee will bring a final recommendation to the board by the end of April.
"Our goal is to minimize disruption to our customers and our carriers," Pettit said.
Also Thursday, the board accepted the resignation of interim executive director Bruce Goldberg effective immediately. Goldberg had been interim director of Cover Oregon for several months, since the previous executive director went on medical leave and resigned. Last month, Goldberg also resigned as director of the Oregon Health Authority, the agency originally in charge of designing and building the exchange.
Cover Oregon's board hired turnaround consultant Clyde Hamstreet to take over the director's duties while the search for a permanent replacement continues. Officials said the search panel will recommend the final candidate at the end of May.
In addition to running Cover Oregon's day-to-day operations, Hamstreet will assess the organization's business operations and financial management, and recommend a restructuring plan.
So far, about 217,000 Oregonians have enrolled in coverage through Cover Oregon. About 63,000 of those enrolled in private health plans, while nearly 154,000 enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan, the state's version of Medicaid.
The state has paid its main technology contractor Oracle Corp. $134 million for the exchange and is withholding $26 million. Oregon and Oracle have begun parting ways and the state has hired a law firm to review legal options.

With the way Carolina is playing right now, it is going to take more than a change in plans to throw off the Hurricanes' rhythm.
Jordan Staal had a goal and three assists, and Jeff Skinner extended his offensive surge with a goal and an assist to lead the Hurricanes to a 6-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.
It was Carolina's fifth consecutive win.
"That game cancelled in Buffalo gave us an extra day or two of rest," Muller said. "I think it really helped us. We had fresh legs and everyone contributing."
John-Michael Liles, Patrick Dwyer, Zach Boychuk and Elias Lindholm also scored for the Hurricanes. Liles was playing against his former team for the first time — Carolina sent defenceman Tim Gleason to Toronto for Liles on Jan. 1.
"It's just nice to be wanted and to feel like I have a place," Liles said. "It allows me to be confident and play my game. I think we have a great group of guys on the team — they've welcomed me, and it's been a nice fit so far."
Skinner's goal was his 17th in his last 17 games, and he improved his point streak to a career-high six games, with seven goals and five assists in that stretch.
Lindholm had three points in his first game back with Carolina after playing for Sweden in the World Junior Championship.
Anton Khudobin made 25 saves for the Hurricanes to improve his record to 6-0-0. Khudobin missed more than two months earlier this season with an ankle injury.
"This game was, by far, the easiest game," Khudobin said.
Joffrey Lupul scored for the Maple Leafs. James Reimer made 30 saves.
Toronto has lost three in a row by a combined score of 18-5 after defeating Detroit in the Winter Classic on New Year's Day.
"We are standing still," Toronto coach Randy Carlyle said. "We are watching teams skate. We are not engaged in the hockey game at the level that is required to give ourselves a chance at success."
The Hurricanes took immediate control of the game.
Boychuk opened the scoring 2:33 in, when his backhand shot deflected off the stick of Gleason and beat Reimer. It was Boychuk's first goal of the year.
The Hurricanes made it 2-0 exactly 6 minutes later following a long stretch of sustained pressure on the power play. The puck eventually got to Lindholm, who set up Staal for a one-timer in the slot. Reimer stopped that shot, but Skinner cleaned up the rebound.
Following lopsided losses to the New York Rangers and the New York Islanders in its previous two games, Toronto appeared lethargic for much of the night, but the Maple Leafs did manage to close the deficit to 2-1 a little less than 6 minutes after Skinner's goal.
Mason Raymond won the puck on the forecheck behind the Hurricanes net and centred to Lupul, who scored from the top of the crease.
Carolina reclaimed its two-goal lead with 2:27 left in the first period on Dwyer's goal. After another long stretch of offensive zone pressure, Dwyer scored when his wrist shot through traffic went through Reimer's legs.
"You've just got to find a way to make a save there to keep your team in it," Reimer said.
The Hurricanes then made the score 4-1 early in the second when Liles scored on a snap shot on a 3-on-1 break. It was the first goal for the defenceman since he was traded to Carolina.
Staal added a short-handed goal 25 seconds into the third period, and Lindholm finished the scoring with a 5-on-3 goal in the final 70 seconds.
NOTES: Carolina played its second straight game without captain Eric Staal, who has a lower-body injury. ... The Hurricanes were playing for the first time since Sunday after Tuesday's game in Buffalo was postponed because of a blizzard. ... Gleason was honoured with a video montage in the first period and received a hearty ovation from the crowd.
