When wanting something so badly clouds one's head….
Sometimes you just have to step aside and let them learn a hard lesson. I'm not going to go much into the Todd Akin saga. I have seen a lot of harsh comments directed his way about how selfish a man he is and worse. The fact is I don't believe Todd Akin is that kind of guy. Look at the guy's record, his upbringing, and his steadfast conservative positions in the past. He's a good man. I just think that he really wants to serve as a Senator in a very pivotal moment in our country's history. Unfortunately, he screwed up in a fatal way. You can't qualify or defend his statement. If the statement was made intentionally, he is questioning if a woman has really been raped. That was my initial interpretation when I heard his statement. If it is not, well, that tells me that you don't think very well on your feet and don't take too much time He has had contradicting statements in interviews he has given, refusing to answer most questions in an interview with Sean Hannity today. Invoking "running toward the gunfire" and other desperate platitudes to stay in the race just makes things worse. And the coup de grace, whining about Mitt Romney running his own race and letting Akin run his. When you take a swipe at potentially your future commander-and-chief, that is a clear signal that wanting that Senate seat to that degree has made one become delusional to the reality of the situation. The GOP establishment and the conservative base's response has been entirely appropriate and probably wise. Asking someone who served eight years in the National Guard to abandon the mission is asking that person to go against his nature. The true test of Mr. Akin's ability to do a very hard but right thing to do will say a lot about him. With each passing day, he loses more face. If he stays in, he'll have to do it without any outside help, very little money, and McCaskill running ads non-stop of prominent GOP names calling for him to exit the race.
All is not lost
The Senate is very much in play still. Via Ace of Spades, here is a very good run down on where things stand:
- Missouri is gone. I believe that McCaskill is probably up by 5 right now if reasonable turnout models are used. If Akin stays through to the bitter end, the seat is lost.
- Maine is probably gone as well. Angus King won't say whom he will caucus with but it is a good bet we know who it will be. He doesn't want to link himself to Obama in any way.
- Brown has made a big move, pulling into a 5 point lead over Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts per Daily Kos poster PPP. Dean Heller will hold the Nevada seat against scandal ridden Shelley Berkley. Richard Mourdock will hold against Obamacare supporter Jim Donnelly.
- Nebraska, Montana, North Dakota, and Wisconsin are as close to sure GOP pickups as you can imagine. This puts the GOP at the magical 50 seat mark.
- Virginia is clearly a toss-up between Tim Kaine and George Allen. Allen is going to have to slam Kaine's pro-Obamacare statements in advertising. Turnout will be key here but Romney's coattails could prove big.
- Florida is interesting. Given the success of Romney/Ryan turning the Obamacare/Medicare raid back on the Democrats, Connie Mack will very likely use this line of attack against Nelson. I really like Mack's chances here.
- Michigan and Ohio. Michigan??? You heard me right. According to a Democratic pollster (at least this pollster is affiliated with Democrats according to Real Clear Politics), the selection of Paul Ryan to be Mitt's running mate is paying off huge not only in Wisconsin, but also in Michigan. Aside from Romney holding a 48-44 lead, Pete Hoekstra holds a 48-46 lead over Debbie Stabenow. Apparently the GOP SuperPACs are starting to take it to Stabenow. I don't see any partisan breakdown but the pollster is based out of the Detroit area. Scott Walker and Paul Ryan have scheduled visits there this week. This is a good indication that the Romney camp believes there is movement there in a good way. Regarding Ohio, Josh Mendel is in a dead tie with Sherrod Brown, 44-44.
- New Mexico and Hawaii. These are the long shots. However, Heather Wilson and Linda Lingle do have a decent chance of pulling off the upsets there.
The GOP has a realistic shot right now at 54 seats with 56 seats being their absolute topline assuming no other safely Democratic seats are fumbled away.
Probably the important thing to do now regarding the Romney campaign is to get back on message regarding jobs, the economy, and hammering the Obamacare/Medicare raid. The Akin matter has been addressed. The MSM will desperately try to keep it alive whenever any GOP candidates are interviewed. The standard response should be "This has been addressed we have made our positions clear. We will not discuss this any further." Short and to the point. Of course the MSM will prod but I'm sure any GOP candidate will move along the questioning to other issues…like Obama. Time to get back to business.

CENTERVILLE -- City Council spent the bulk of its Tuesday work session discussing and approving $56,000-plus in expenditures for the citys police, fire, and water and sewer departments.
All items were in one way or another budgeted with funds coming from various department budgets.
Expenditures included:
$18,720 for a mobile, computerized license plate reader for the Centerville Police Department;
$4,659 for a laptop to be installed in a police vehicle in relation to the tag reader;
$26,000 for a new truck for the citys water and sewer department, which was budgeted for and will be purchased out of water and sewer funds;
$3,975 for a utility line locator for the water and sewer department, also a budgeted item coming from water and sewers budget;
$3,054 for an ice machine to replace a 20-year-old machine at the citys fire department, which officials said is used by members of the fire department as well as members of the police department, water and sewer department, and at times, community members. Cost will be shared from fire department and water and sewer budgets.
All expenditures requiring a vote were unanimously approved.
In discussing the license plate reader, Councilman Cameron Andrews said he initially had concerns about the reader and potential privacy issues.
Calling himself a hard sell on the reader, he said after seeing results and after receiving assurances the tag-reading system did not keep personal data, he saw its value in getting lawbreakers off Centervilles roads.
Due to Mayor John Harley and several council members plans to attend city government classes on the same date as next months scheduled council work session, Council voted to move the session up one week from Sept. 17 to Sept 10.

Friday, April 13th, 4:00pm
Whitney Humanities Center, 53 Wall Street
Join us for a special showing of BANANAS!* (from EFFY 2010), the film at the center of this year's BIG BOYS GONE BANANAS!*. This is the documentary that made Dole so upset in the first place.
Juan "Accidentes" Dominguez is on his biggest case ever. On behalf of twelve Nicaraguan banana workers he tackles the Dole Food Company in a ground-breaking legal battle for their use of a banned pesticide that was known to cause sterility. Can he beat the giant, or will the corporation get away with it? In BANANAS!*, filmmaker Fredrik Gertten sheds new light on the global politics of food.
One third of the production price of the average banana is used simply to cover the cost of pesticides. All over the world, banana plantation workers are suffering and dying from the effects of these pesticides. Juan Dominguez, a million-dollar personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles, is on his biggest case ever representing over 10,000 Nicaraguan banana workers claiming to be afflicted by a pesticide known as Nemagon. Dole Food and Dow Chemicals are on trial.
Another banana worker is being buried in a small northern town in Nicaragua. For his whole life, Alberto Rosales used his machete to remove weeds from below the banana plants. His son says his last years were filled with pain, a body that was itching all night — and in the end his kidneys stopped working.
Fredrik Gertten will be present for the screening of BIG BOYS GONE BANANAS!* to host a discussion after the film on Thursday, April 12th at 7pm at the Whitney Humanities Center.
Fredrik Gertten is an award winning director and journalist based in Malmö, Sweden. In 1994 he founded the production company WG Film. Before he worked as a foreign correspondent and columnist for radio, TV and press in Africa, Latin America, Asia and around Europe. Today he combines film making with a role as a creative producer on WG Film – famous for local stories with a global understanding, with several films catching the identity and transformation of his hometown. Featuring international stars like footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic in True Blue - The Way Back and architect Santiago Calatrava in The Socalist, the Architect and the Twisted Tower, among others. Dole Food company made his film BANANAS!* controversial by suing the company, producer and director. The fight for the film and freedom of speech won international recognition. In Sweden awarded with several prices including the Anna Politkovskaya freedom of speech award.

Lezyne's Pressure Carbon Drive high pressure design let's you pump up to your desired pressure with 30% fewer strokes then comparable mini pumps in a slightly smaller package compared to the medium. The first thing that you notice about the Lezyne Pressure Carbon Drive is the carbon fiber body. That carbon fiber is not just a laminate to give the pump a "carbon look", but a full carbon fiber barrel and handle with no metal reinforcements. That gives the pump amazing strength and durability to handle the rigors of daily use and abuse.
The beauty of the Lezyne Pressure Carbon Drive is more than just the carbon fiber though. Within the body of the pump is an ABS flex hose that is housed inside the body. The ABS flex hose connects the pump to your presta or schrader valve to ease pumping action. Lezyne also includes the Lezyne Air Bleed System. Air Bleed System (ABS) takes the most secure valve connection known and adds a pressure release button making our Flip-Thread Chuck, Flex Hoses easier to use than ever before. ABS is only featured on genuine Lezyne products. ABS is patent pending worldwide
Lezyne pumps are built to last with quality materials and first rate design and engineering. Each Lezyne item also works as good as it looks. Beyond just the looks, you can rebuild each and every Lezyne pump if anything ever wears out or breaks. The Lezyne Pressure Carbon Drive could be the last hand pump you will need.

Comments about Lezyne Pressure Carbon Drive S Pump:
Use to have a cheap air pump and not reliable and confusing to use. Instead of adding air it deflates the tire. I got this lezyne carbon air pump and it makes adding air easier and simpler. It is small but does the job. If only it could put more volume each pump would make this tool perfect.

Today will be the first time area residents are able to watch a Georgia Rampage practice.
The team hopes it results in more season ticket sales for the team's games.
Dalton's new professional indoor football franchise will host a "Pick Your Seat" event from noon to 3 p.m. at the trade center.
Fans with season tickets will get the opportunity to show up at any time in the three-hour window and claim their seats for the upcoming 2013 Ultimate Indoor Football League season, which begins March 4 against Florida's Lake-land Raiders. Additionally, the Rampage will host an exhibition game Feb. 26 against the Georgia Panthers, an outdoor team.
The Rampage moved to Dalton in the offseason after being a travel franchise in 2012. Amer Awad, a co-owner of the team, stressed today's event also is for potential fans without season tickets, because an open practice will be held with "20 to 30 players" expected to be present.
"We're going to have some key people there," Awad said.
Even fans without season tickets — today is the final chance to purchase them at a 10 percent discount — can watch the team's mandatory practice for free. The trade center's capacity is 1,900 for Rampage games, co-owner and general manager Kacee Smith said, and the number of season tickets sold is in the "mid-twenties" with the season weeks away.
"Not as many as we want," said Smith, who didn't know an exact number. "Hopefully (today will) spark that. Last year, my friend that has a Fort Myers team said they were nervous and couldn't do anything to sell them. But once February came, they started flying out the door.
"When you announce a team so far away (from the season), I guess no one has a sense of urgency."
The artificial turf will be down and the walls surrounding the playing field will be up to allow fans the chance to preview what it will be like in a month when the first live game takes place. The only thing missing will be the uniforms.
"We'll have some jerseys there for people to look at," Awad said, "but to make sure nothing is messed up, we want to keep the actual uniforms for game day and have the practice jerseys for practice."
It will be the first time many fans get to watch the players, which includes the team's two newest signees.
The Rampage recently added defensive tackle Samuel Chester and offensive lineman Christopher Love to the roster, bringing the total number of players to 33. The roster size for training camp, which begins in February, is limited to 40 players. Only 23 can be signed for the season, with 18 active for game days.
"We're not really sure if we'll max the 40 or not," Smith said. "My thing is, I've been around for a while and know it's hard on these players to leave everything behind and try only to be cut.
"We're trying to leave it to just guys we know we want, no filler."
Chester is 6 feet, 7 inches and 330 pounds, while Love weighs the same and is 6-2.
Chester was an offensive lineman at Fort Valley State University and moved to defense during his first indoor football season with a team from Corpus Christi, Texas in 2011. In 2012, he played with Lakeland, the same team the Rampage face in the season opener.
Love played for Alabama's Miles College and Atlanta's Morehouse College, and played indoor football in 2011 with the Texas' Abilene Ruff Riders. In 2012, he played for the German Football League's Rostock Griffins.

Herald Staff Report
Despite finishing eighth in the conference, Clinton was one of only four teams to have two players selected to either the first or second team when the Mississippi Athletic Conference released its postseason awards.
"I think that's obviously a step up for us heading into next season," Clinton coach Nick Lawrence said. "We have two all-conference guys coming back. It's good to have that experience and leadership."
Junior Jalen Jones was one of six first-team selections, while sophomore Brady Ernst earned a selection to the second team.
During conference games, Jones was the league's leading scorer at 18.8 points a game and fifth in rebounding with 6.5 a game. Jones averaged 19.0 points a game in all contests, second among MAC players, behind only Davenport Assumption senior Billy Daniel, who was named Player of the Year.
"The No. 1 thing about Jalen is he was consistent all year long," Lawrence said. "He made a ton of progress from last year to this year. He improved his maturity level and on-court skills. His game really developed over the offseason."
Jones also tied for third during conference play with 60 assists.
"We put a lot of pressure on him," Lawrence said. "We moved him to (point guard) and he had to run the show. He was the focal point for most team's defenses. I'm really pleased with him."
Ernst led the MAC in rebounding — 10.0 a game overall and 9.9 in conference play. He also averaged 11.3 points a game for the season.
"Brady really controlled the glass for us," Lawrence said. "He led the conference and was one of the best rebounders in the state. We tend to forget he's only a sophomore and has two full seasons left. What he's been able to accomplish so far is extraordinary."
First team
Jalen Jones, jr. (Clinton); Billy Daniel, sr. (Davenport Assumption); Cortez Seales, so. (North Scott); Cole Clearman, jr. (Bettendorf); Matt Vonderhaar, sr. (Assumption); Justin Randall, sr. (Burlington).
Second team
Brady Ernst, so. (Clinton); Nicholas Baer, jr. (Bettendorf); Kain Arthofer, sr. (Pleasant Valley); Kendall Jacks, jr. (Bettendorf); Austin Esters, jr. (Pleasant Valley); Trey Hollingshed, so. (Davenport Central).
Honorable mention
Assumption — Nick Schebler; Bettendorf — Dylan Sortillo; Burlington — Brandon Mosena; Davenport North — Blain Samuelson, DeMarcus Davis, Connor Moellenbeck; Davenport West — Jerry Myles, Marlon Stewart, Nasir Shabazz; North Scott — Grant Graham, Eric Huber; Muscatine — Luke Rauenbuehler; Pleasant Valley — Conor Bryant, Will Carius.

Money on the markets
A maturing market amid the mayhem
Tax saving with safety locked in
Some of the best advice often comes from the most unlikely of sources.
Years back, while on a trip to Jaipur, I had run into a rather energetic man who insisted on jumping the queue at the post office. When requests failed, I asked him why he was in a hurry.
"I have a savings account here," he said proudly in Hindi, clutching a dog-eared booklet with currency notes tucked in. Ram Prasad, the 42-year-old cycle rickshaw driver had his way and left flashing his stained teeth.
Outside, he offered me a discounted tour of the city, with unsolicited advice on why I should park my funds in the post office. The stock market was hot that year and I brushed aside his guidance.
I bumped into him again last year outside the Pink City railway station. He showed me the new auto rickshaw he had bought with years of intelligent investing. Ram Prasad, I realised, had been a winner all these years. The market had gone into a tailspin, eroding millions of rupees of investor money, within months of the global financial crisis unraveling.

Pretend it's the year 2111. Crews of light and sound technicians, makeup artists, production assistants, actors and directors are walking through your house — a century later — making a movie based on your legacy.
If you're playing along, a few concerns are probably swirling through your brain.
What will my pad look like a hundred years from now?
Will these strangers from another time and place take their shoes off before walking on the carpet?
What exactly is my legacy?
While climbing the narrow, steep staircase to the third floor of the Debs Museum last week, I wondered what the namesake of this historic, three-story house on North Eighth Street — Terre Haute-born social activist Eugene V. Debs — would think of the cinematic beehive of activity buzzing inside his former home this month.
In addition to other locations around his hometown, several significant scenes in the upcoming independent movie "The Drunk" were filmed inside the quaint, well-preserved rooms of the Victorian-style structure that was Debs' residence from its completion in 1890 until his death in 1926.
He probably wouldn't have recognized the third floor. First of all, that level was barely used while Debs and his wife lived there. Nearly 40 years later, the Debs Foundation — an organization dedicated to keeping alive his fight against social injustices — restored the home, which then became a museum and one of just 11 National Historic Landmarks in Indiana. The walls of the previously overlooked third floor were adorned with vivid murals of Debs' life, drawn by Terre Haute artist John Laska and paid for by philanthropist Tony Hulman.
(Yes, Tony Hulman, the wealthiest Hautean ever, funded this tribute to America's most famous "radical." Hulman's grandfather and Debs were friends.)
Secondly, the implements of filmmaking present in the top rooms of Debs' home would have baffled him. "Talkies" — the term people in the early 20th century used to describe those new-fangled movies with sound — didn't emerge nationwide until 1926 and '27. The technological and fine-detail preparations for each scene of "The Drunk" didn't exist during the lifetime of Debs, who was born in 1855.
Before filming a scene between lead character Joe Debs (the hard-drinking, fictional grandson of Eugene) and his mother, Maggie, a technician tweaked knobs on a control panel resting on a table in front of a full-sized bust of Debs. A woman carefully mixed tea and water in a bottle to resemble whiskey. Crew members — ranging in size from broad-shouldered guys to petite women — quickly ascended and descended the cramped stairway. Debs stood 6 feet, 2 inches tall, so the hassle of maneuvering his lanky legs up and down those stairs probably was the reason he seldom visited the third floor.
Undoubtedly, Debs never imagined the place would serve as the setting for a theatrical interpretation of his legacy. The political comedy created by Terre Haute natives Paul Fleschner and William Tanoos pits Debs' alcoholic grandson (played by Tanoos) against a corrupt prosecutor (portrayed by noted Hollywood actor Tom Sizemore) in an improbable duel for the Indiana governorship in 2012. Meanwhile, the incumbent Hoosier governor is played by the actual former governor of Minnesota, ex-wrestler Jesse Ventura. The script includes references to the causes championed by Eugene Debs, his imprisonment under the Espionage Act, and his five presidential campaigns atop the Socialist Party ticket.
What would Debs say of all of this lights-camera-action treatment in his humble abode and birthplace?
"I think he'd be flattered by it," said Charles King, longtime secretary of the Debs Foundation.
He liked the limelight. At the height of Debs' prominence, an actor recorded one of his speeches. "When somebody played it for [Debs], he was quite flattered by it," King explained.
Karen Brown, curator and director of the Debs Home and Museum since 2002, thinks Debs would appreciate the notoriety the film could bring to his efforts to empower workers, women, minorities, the elderly and children. "I think he'd be pretty excited that the movie's being made about someone who's attempting to carry on his legacy," she said.
A good legacy gives future generations a reason to say, "Thanks." A few of Debs' ideas are worthy of that — 40-hour work weeks, women's voting rights, the end of segregation, child-labor laws.
"I think Debs' legacy has been kind of pushed under the rug by mainstream historians," Fleschner said. "The Drunk" employs much creative license, because, in reality, Eugene Debs had no children. Nonetheless, the causes he parented fill the background of the film.
"It's about Debs' values, at the core," Fleschner said.
Values not forgotten. A legacy. That's as much as any of us could hope for, should a movie crew show up at our old homestead 10 decades from now.

George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch leader who shot and killed Trayvon Martin in Sanford, will appear before a judge on Thursday at John E. Polk Correctional Facility.
Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara tells Local 6 he was meeting with his client around noon Thursday, prior to his 1:30 p.m. first appearance hearing. O'Mara said his client will be entering a plea of not guilty and that he has already filed a bond motion.
The bond schedule for the second-degree murder charge Zimmerman is facing suggests no bond. But O'Mara said the judge could take into consideration the details of the case and the fact that Zimmerman doesn't have a significant criminal past, allowing Zimmerman to have a set bond.
The judge could also deny bond or set a hearing to deal with the bond at a later date.
Zimmerman arrived at the jail Wednesday night with Florida Department of Law Enforcement officials riding in a black SUV, appearing to be trying to cover his face from the media, at 8:23 p.m. He was booked into the jail at 8:30 p.m. on a no bond status, records show. He is expected to have his first appearance at 1:30 p.m. Thursday before Judge Mark E. Herr. O'Mara said he will hold a news conference after the hearing.
VIDEO:Zimmerman arrives at jail
Zimmerman appeared to say nothing to the media or authorities as he arrived, dressed in a flannel shirt and with a black jacket draped over his head. Authorities said Zimmerman turned himself in to the FDLE office in Jacksonville earlier Wednesday.
Deputies released Zimmerman's purchases in the jail so far, showing that he has already spent $79.84 less than a day after he was booked. His purchases include contact lens solution, clothing, along with cards, a crossword puzzle and word search book, and food items, such as cookies, white cheddar popcorn, four peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a bag of Jolly Ranchers.
Seminole County Sheriff Don Eslinger held a news conference just after Zimmerman was booked. He said he would not release where Zimmerman will be placed in the facility and added that Zimmerman will not receive special treatment while in jail, but they are taking safety precautions at the jail.
"Absolutely not, he will be treated like any other inmate," Eslinger said. "We have a policy that will protect certain inmates as a result of the threats against their lives, and that will all be taken into consideration."
Zimmerman was taken into custody earlier Wednesday on second-degree murder charges in the teen's death.
While in jail, Zimmerman will be screened for his mental and physical health.
"I cannot imagine living in George Zimmerman's shoes for the past number of weeks, only because he has been at the focus of a lot of anger, maybe confusion," O'Mara said at a news conference Wednesday.
Special prosecutor Angela Corey made the announcement at a news conference in Jacksonville. Corey said Zimmerman turned himself in to FDLE authorities but wouldn't say where he was prior to that.
Corey said the decision to bring charges was based on the facts and the law, declaring: "We do not prosecute by public pressure or by petition."
When asked by Local 6 reporter Tony Pipitone what specific evidence was uncovered to bring the charges against Zimmerman, Corey said she wouldn't discuss details about the case.
"That will be in court, detailed evidence -- that's why we try cases in court," Corey said. "That would be commenting on the facts of the case, and we are not going to do that at this time."
Martin's parents spoke shortly after the announcement, thanking supporters who have marched, rallied and protested with them.
"First all, I want to say, 'Thank God,' said Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton. "We simply wanted an arrest. We wanted nothing more, nothing less. We wanted an arrest and we got it and I say, 'Thank you, thank you, God.'"
"We'd just like to thank everyone once again for being compassionate
This is just the beginning. We've got a long way to go, but we have faith. We will march and march and march," said Tracy Martin, Trayvon's father.
In a statement, Florida Gov. Rick Scott said, "This matter is now in the hands of the judicial system and I am confident justice will prevail."
Second-degree murder carries a maximum sentence of life in prison and is typically charged when there is a fight or other confrontation that results in death and where there is no premeditated plan to kill someone.
Prior to Corey's announcement, Local 6 News learned that O'Mara, Local 6's legal expert, had been retained to represent Zimmerman.
"I'm expecting a lot of work and hopefully justice in the end," said O'Mara, who added that Zimmerman is OK but concerned about his future.

Kashmir Hill, Forbes Staff
Welcome to The Not-So Private Parts where technology & privacy collide
This is a guest post from Jane Yakowitz, a visiting law professor at Brooklyn Law School. It originally appeared on Harvard's Info/Law blog.
Now that the European Union's member states are flailing around attempting to implement their miserable cookie directive, the European Commission has decided it's a good time to further retard the Internet.
On Wednesday the European Commission released an already-leaked new version of the Data Protection Directive which firmly establishes a European right to data erasure, or "right to be forgotten." Article 17 will give EU residents an unprecedented inalienable right to control and delete facts that were once voluntarily communicated by the subject. Moreover, the right to erasure covers all publications of the personal information. As the preamble explains:
To strengthen the 'right to be forgotten' in the online environment, the right to erasure should also be extended in such a way that any publicly available copies or replications in websites and search engines should also be deleted by the controller who has made the information public.
The European Commission's Vice President for Justice has clarified that the data deletion rule applies even to information that the data subject communicates herself on a public web forum like Facebook.
The right to be forgotten supposedly has some limits:
However, the further retention of the data should be allowed where it is necessary for historical, statistical and scientific research purposes, for exercising the right of freedom of expression, when required by law, or where there is a reason to restrict the processing of the data instead of erasing them.
But this exception is undermined both by the necessity language (when, exactly, is a single factum "necessary" for history or expression?) and by the downright draconian fines that are imposed for noncompliance. Article 79 instructs EU authorities to collect 1% of an enterprise's annual revenue in fines for failure to comply with the right to be forgotten. Violation of other data rules could lead to fines of up to a million euros or 2% of a company's global revenue.
I am disappointed, but not surprised, to see the EU continue a misguided attack on the information economy. The right to be forgotten unequivocally favors the interests of the data subject, no matter how selfishly motivated, over the interests of data controllers and other consumers. Moreover, by making the right of erasure inalienable, the EU prevents its own citizens from participating in a business model that allows consumers to trade their information for stuff they want—convenience, discounts, or content. EU residents have no unencumbered information to sell.
The popular understanding in U.S. privacy discourse is that the EU does a better job protecting consumers from big corporations than the U.S. On the surface this looks right—after all, the regulations speak almost exclusively of "rights" granted to consumers, and almost exclusively of "obligations" imposed on business entities. But on closer inspection, Europe's approach to information privacy is more emblematic of a desire to hold technology fixed, as if the amount of information people had about one another just before the advent of the Internet was the right amount for some reason. Sooner or later, the policies motivating the EU Data Protection Directive will prove to be counter-productive and regressive. The negative right against automated processing is a good example:
Every natural person should have the right not to be subject to a measure which is based on profiling by means of automated processing.
Article 20 gives every EU resident has an absolute right to stop a company from using predictive analytics concerning employment, creditworthiness, or health decisions. (These examples come straight from the text of the new regulations.) This sounds like a good deal for data subjects until one thinks for a moment about who the local losers would be. There are two possibilities. The opt-out might create a market for lemons where the person's decision to opt out serves as a reliable signal of some sort of problem. This quite obviously cuts against the goals of the opt-out right. Alternatively, opt-outs will simply muddy the predictive models for everybody. Credit, for example, will be extended to applicants who are slightly more likely to default. The lower income applicants who might have looked more were creditworthy in comparison will pay higher interest rates, if credit is extended at all. Hooray.
Allegedly, one of the motivations for amending the directive is to make consumers feel more comfortable with e-commerce.
Lack of trust makes consumers hesitate to buy online and adopt new services. This risks slowing down the development of innovative uses of new technologies. Personal data protection therefore plays a central role in the Digital Agenda for Europe.
Complete and utter hogwash. And it's old hogwash, too. Consumer mistrust and timidity has been trotted out as a threat to e-commerce for as long as there have been public opinion surveys about the Internet. The theory refuses to die despite ample evidence to the contrary. Now I am not suggesting that everything consumers do is per se good for them; law can and should occasionally force producers and service providers to take precautions that consumers would not choose to pay for if they could help it. Information asymmetries and optimism bias are among the justifications. But the claim that consumers are shying away from Internet commerce and services does not comport with actual consumer behavior.
Google and other major Internet companies might want to start coordinating a protest similar to the effective campaign we saw here in the states in response to SOPA. If Google makes every person with the first name "John" ungoogleable for a day, and if online retailers refuse to access cookie data for a day, and if content providers double the amount of advertising for a day, pressure can build before the Directive comes to a vote.
For European Internet users, the deal is getting worse all the time. Pray the European Commissioners don't alter it any further.
As a EU citizen myself and a person familiar with the matter of internet technologies, i feel very good about this law.
There is absolutely no technical reason to disallow people using a service from deleting what they have done. It would'nt even harm startups or tiny companies.
Privacy in the EU is a way bigger concern then in the US, and you should respect that.
Right at the first quote in this article, it already sounds completely unenforceable. How do you delete all traces of someone from the internet?
The whole thing sounds like it's going to greatly reduce economic efficiency and potential flow of capital. Data collection and analysis is the future — it's now.
Is it strange that Europe is known for being socially liberal, but Europeans, as a whole, freak out about privacy?
I liked the alternative title Jane used for this post on InfoLaw better: "More Crap From the E.U."
This is the worst article I've read in a long time. Mrs. Yakowitz clearly doesn't understand European Social dynamics. She might not be alone – just remember what happened to Walmart, sucessful everywhere, failure in Europe – Walmart too failed to understand how Europeans and European markets function.
If new Internet technologies such as Cloud Computing, Online Collaboration, etc are to expand, then Data Protection Laws are to be fixed to create confidence among end users.
Forgot to mention, there's a good article about European Data Protection Law's proposal: http://www.hostingtecnews.com/european-commission-proposes-reform-data-protection-laws

this is really good, i have made this before, but if you can find an onion bread, and use brie cheese and cook this as a grilled cheese its awsome!
OMG! I love apples and cheese, but never would have thought of the two in a grilled sandwich! This was a great for lunch. I used sliced Swiss cheese as I thought it would work better and thick sliced whole grain bread, but whatever bread you use this is bound to be delicious. This is definitely a case of don't knock it 'til ya try it!
This sandwich is one our family favorites! Try adding some well-cooked bacon before grilling! YUM!

A Nebraska company wants to build a $100 million biofuel refinery in Bellevue, but the BioSyn Resources' project is likely still several years away from being a reality.
BioSyn is holding a news conference in Bellevue on Thursday. But
BioSyn still needs to obtain approval from the Environmental Protection Agency and line up more investors. But if the project is built, it could produce roughly 6,500 barrels of fuel per day.
Initially, the company plans to produce biodiesel from a combination of animal fats and vegetable oils. Eventually, BioSyn wants to be able to produce biodiesel or gasoline from switch grass or another renewable crop.
BioSyn's says its plan would employ proven refining technology
in an efficient setup that would allow it to product biofuels cheaper than other companies

This wrap is lovely and just what I was looking for.
I had become unenamoured with my fluffy flannel dressing gown and wanted a robe more appropriate for summer.

This is a must to throw over your lingerie, pyjamas, or sexy naked self, and lounge about feeling amazing all day and night long!

I've always wanted a sexy, silky dressing-gown to wear and since I'll be going on holiday soon, it was a great time to finally treat myself.
I'd looked at a few of the other styles/brands that Lovehoney have, and also a few on some other sites I like to browse, but they were all a tad expensive in my mind.
This wrap feels absolutely amazing. It's really soft, not too long (enough to show off my thighs) and it's great value as well. I chose black and I thought that it really complimented my bottom when I was lying down too!

Dogs may be infected with M tuberculosis, M bovis, and occasionally with M avium complex or M fortuitum, commonly from a human or bovine source. Tuberculous lesions are usually found in the lungs, liver, kidney, pleura, and peritoneum; they have a gray appearance, usually with a noncalcified, necrotic center. Lesions are often exudative and can produce a large quantity of straw-colored fluid in the thorax. False-negative tuberculin tests are common in dogs. Radiographs and a thorough history are useful in diagnosis. Affected dogs should be euthanized because of public health concerns.

This is what I'm thinking:
The Buffalo Bills remain the area's most-watched TV show by a huge margin and naturally their 23-21 loss to the New England Patriots in the final seconds Sunday had Western New Yorkers on the edge of their seats.
The game had a 33.6 rating on Channel 4, the local CBS affililate. It hit a peak of 40.9 during the Pats' final drive and had a 70 share at that point.
Those figures mean 40.9 percent of area households were tuned in and that 70 percent of people watching some TV programming at the end were tuned into the game.
Super Bowls around here generally get in the 40 to 50 ratings range so you can see how fantastic the finish was at least in terms of ratings. The most popular prime time entertainment programs in Western New York get ratings in the high teens.
The 33.6 rating for Sunday's game was about 16 percent higher than the 29.0 rating for the visiting Bills' one-sided loss to the New York Jets in the 2012 season opener.
Fox affiliate WUTV also received at strong 14.2 rating for San Francisco's win over Green Bay that was carried on Channel 29 after the Bills game. And Channel 2 had a 16.2 rating for Dallas' win over the New York Giants on NBC's Sunday Night Football.
Channel 2 General Manager Jim Toellner said this morning that the station will make a decision this week whether to continue to carry the political debate show "2 Sides" up until the November election. He added that the program featuring politically-active, co-host Kristy Mazurek isn't scheduled to air this Sunday anyway. You know what my vote would be: Drop it at least until the election is over because it has become a public relations headache.
I bet Channel 4 isn't the only CBS affiliate upset that its local news will be bounced by today's men's final of the U.S. Tennis Open. That means Channel 4's early evening newscasts are moving to sister station WNLO-TV, more commonly referred to as CW 23.
By the way, Arsenio Hall's new talk show premieres tonight on CW 23 at 11 p.m. and not at 10:30 p.m. as listed on my cable guide.
WUTV has to be hoping that the Bills' competitive performance Sunday will drive ticket sales and allow the Fox affiliate to carry Sunday's game with NFC opponent Carolina. Since I just received an email offer this morning for a discount on the game, my guess is it isn't close to a sellout yet. It needs to be sold-out 72 hours in advance to be carried on local TV. Of course, the NFL has been extending deadlines lately. And there always is a chance that some organization will step up if it is close to a sellout and buy the final tickets to get the game televised.

The Times-Tribune
By Jeff Noble, Staff Writer
Keeneland's hoping to make a success in southeastern Kentucky, and they're hedging their bets that a quarter horse racetrack in the Tri-County will be a winning showplace.
The association that runs the Lexington-based thoroughbred horse racing track and auction sales company confirmed Friday they will build a quarter horse track near Corbin.
The track will be operated as a joint venture between Keeneland and Full House Resorts of Nevada. The two will buy the Thunder Ridge harness racing track in Prestonsburg and move it to the Corbin area.
While he did not discuss specifics, Keeneland Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer Vince Gabbert did confirm Friday morning a couple of locations south of Corbin along the I-75 corridor were being considered.
"It's something we've been working on for some time, and we feel like it's time to announce it. We are looking at land in the Corbin area, and we think we know what we want. We have to look at infrastructure, traffic, location and other variables. We need a significant piece of land, but we want room to expand with other amenities," Gabbert said in a telephone interview from Lexington.
A definite date for when the property will be purchased, when the building of the track will start, or when the track will open wasn't announced. Gabbert said the paperwork was filed on the ownership change with the state Horse Racing Commission, which would also have to approve moving the Prestonsburg track and making it a quarter horse track.
Gabbert noted the facility would be more than just a racetrack.
"We envision a full-scale entertainment venue, with the possibilities endless. It would be a fully modern facility, with room to grow if we need to do so. And we have our name on it. People associate Keeneland with quality, tradition and excellence. The community is very much woven into what we do. With that comes a great amount of responsibility. We want people to take pride in our product the same way we do," he pointed out.
Gabbert said the track's ownership and operation would be shared with Keeneland by Full House, which owns six casinos in four states, including one across the Ohio River from Kentucky in Rising Sun, Ind. The facility near Corbin would feature quarter horse racing dates in the summer, which would include top purses on races along with simulcasting and instant racing, also known as historical wagering.
Approved in 2010 by the racing commission, historical wagering was ruled legal by Franklin Circuit Court, but the case was appealed by the Family Foundation of Kentucky, which opposes gambling expansion.
Gabbert noted a bill to approve historical wagering is expected to be filed in Frankfort in the state legislature next week. If the bill is approved, the appeal by the Family Foundation before the state Supreme Court could be a moot point and could be ruled in favor of the track.
The news of the quarter horse track being built in the Corbin area brought optimism from some area officials Friday.
"When I heard the news this morning, I was tickled to death about it. That will definitely be a big boost to our entire area. Wherever they put it, the quarter horse racetrack would benefit all of us economically. And Keeneland puts out a first-rate product. Look at how many people go to Lexington to the races and the horse sales at Keeneland each year. People love the historic track, they love the atmosphere and Keeneland coming here will do the same thing for the Corbin area," Corbin Mayor Willard McBurney said in a phone interview.
Whitley County Judge-Executive Pat White agreed. "People I'm talking to are very excited about the possibility of the track being built, and especially with the Keeneland name. They operate such a nice facility there in Lexington, and have done so for so many years. They're also excited about the economic benefits the track will bring, with the number of people who drive through our area along I-75. There's also numerous people who board quarter horses in the region. I think they will see some use in their facilities if the quarter horse racetrack is built."
"Kentucky is known for horse racing, and having the track in the Tri-County will reap benefits to our region. We could draw from Knoxville and East Tennessee, because they don't have this kind of entertainment. People from Somerset, Middlesboro, and especially along I-75 and U. S. 25E will drive to see quarter horse racing. They'll have to build the facility, the stables, the infrastructure and that will bring jobs. Tourist-related industries will benefit, and it's a win-win situation for this area. I hope they use Knox County, but if they don't, the Tri-County can all share in the track's coming to the region and its economic benefits," said Knox County Judge-Executive J. M. Hall on Friday afternoon.
Gabbert said the track will bring to the region a type of racing not usually associated with this state.
"From a marketing standpoint, we're looking at quarter horses. We feel like the thoroughbred breed is well-served in Kentucky. We also feel this will serve a need to the quarter horse industry, and to fans of the sport."
For those involved in racing and raising quarter horses, the news from Keeneland was welcome.
"We have a substantial quarter horse population in Kentucky, but a small amount of quarter horse racing in this state. We had to re-legalize it back in 2004 due to regulations, and we've been trying to figure out how to build the sport here. There's no significant quarter horse racing east of the Mississippi River," said Rich Wilcke of Henry County, who is also a national racing committee member of the American Quarter Horse Association.
Speaking Friday afternoon by phone, Wilcke stated the quarter horse is the most popular horse breed in the world, and that in a thoroughbred state like Kentucky, there are advantages in breeding.
"The quarter horse can be crossbred by a thoroughbred. One parent can be a thoroughbred and still have a registration number. If you look at the quarter horse segment of racing, you'll find a lot of thoroughbred blood. So it makes sense in Kentucky."
He added the building of the track will draw a large population of fans for the sport, with many of them living in this region, and nearby regions.
"People have looked at the Corbin-London area as the last frontier for horse racing in Kentucky. You've got the location, you've got the regional market, and you've got the horses. Looking at the registration numbers from Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and nearby states, we can confirm there are over 550,000 quarter horses within about 300 miles of Corbin. Those people who own them may not all be racing fans, but they love quarter horses. The name 'quarter horse' comes from the horse's ability to race a quarter of a mile. And if you build it, those fans will come to watch 'em race."
"It fits from a marketing standpoint. It takes in an underdeveloped area, like Knoxville and eastern part of Tennessee, as well as areas like the Lake Cumberland region of Kentucky. With the tourism industry already in this part of the state and nearby, it's a good fit. We're developing this a a strictly private venture. When we get there, we'll meet with the local authorities," Gabbert said.
McBurney is also betting on the benefits of the track. "Quarter horse racing in the West and South is a big industry, and it would be a welcome addition to our region. If they have a sales pavilion there at the new track, think about what that brings to the table, for example. With our location on I-75 and the people coming from that, it's a domino effect. Motels, restaurants, shopping, gas stations, convenience stores, related industries, everything feeds off that. It's really exciting news."
One who can also vouch for the horse industry's potential is Chuck Givens.
As District 8 Director of the Kentucky Quarter Horse Association, Whitley, Knox and Laurel counties are in his district. He said in a phone interview from Richmond that quarter horses can be found in every county of the state, and added some of them are ready to race.
"I was talking to somebody down in Knox County yesterday who plans on racing quarter horses, but he said to me, 'We've got no place to race.' Then today, we get this news about Keeneland building a track near Corbin. It will definitely be a boost to the economy, and to our members. They need it."
* First, there's the "mane" attraction, the quarter horse. The number one breed of horse in the United States, the American Quarter Horse is outstanding at sprinting at short distances, and can outdistance other horse breeds in quarter-mile races, which is how the horse got its name. Along with its speed for racing, quarter horses are equally adept for work at ranching, as well as performing in horse shows and rodeos.
* According to the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), American Quarter Horses are compact and heavily muscled, and can run a short distance over a straight stretch faster than any other horse. The quarter mile remains the most popular distance for American Quarter Horse racing, with the best horses going the 400 yards in 21 seconds or less.
* In the 1600s the fastest were called Celebrated American Quarter Running Horses by English colonists. A registry was formed in the 1940 to preserve the breed, and officially became the American Quarter Horse.
* The American Quarter Horse Association is the world's largest equine breed registry and membership organization, and is headquartered in Amarillo, Texas. AQHA has registered more than 5 million horses since its beginnings in 1940. Amarillo is also the home of the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame and Museum, which opened in 1991.
* According to the Kentucky Quarter Horse Association, they have quarter horses in all 120 counties of the state. Headquartered in Lexington, the organization's current President is Paul Coffey of Russell Springs. Along with Coffey, the association has five other officers and 11 persons on its Board of Directors. In addition, eight persons serve as District Directors. Chuck Givens of Richmond serves as director of District 8, made up of Whitley, Knox, Laurel and 28 other counties in southeastern, eastern and central Kentucky.
* One premier racing series is the Bank of America Championship Challenge, which is for 3-year-olds and older with a distance of 400 yards. Among American tracks where the challenge races are held include Sam Houston Park in Houston, Texas; Remington Park in Oklahoma City, Okla.; Sunland Park in Sunland Park, N.M.; Los Alamitos in Cypress, Calif.; Prarie Meadows in Altoona, Iowa; and Turf Paradise in Phoenix, Ariz. Other challenge racing series include the Adequan Derby Challenge and the Zoetis Starter Allowance Challenge.
* For many, the best known quarter horse race (and the world's richest) is the All American Futurity on Labor Day at Ruidoso Downs in Ruidoso, N.M. Started in 1959, the race for 2-year-olds is the last leg of the AQHA Triple Crown. Last year, the race featured 10 horses with an estimated purse of $2.4 million. The other two AQHA Triple Crown races are the Rainbow Futurity and the Ruidoso Futurity, also run at the New Mexico track. In addition, Ruidoso Downs is home to a companion race, the All American Derby was first run in 1974. Last year, it featured three-year-olds with an estimated purse of $2.3 million. It is run the day before the All American Futurity.
* The Keeneland Association was founded in 1935, with Keeneland's first race card on Oct. 15, 1936. Two race meetings are held in the spring and fall of the year, in the months of April and October. The spring meeting is highlighted by the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes and Central Bank Ashland Stakes, which are Grade 1 Thoroughbred prep races for the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks. In the fall meeting, nine graded stakes races are held during FallStars Weekend, which serve as a springboard for many Breeders' Cup horses. Keeneland is also known as the world's premier Thoroughbred auction house with four annual auctions — the September Yearling and November Breeding Stock Sales, the Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale in April, and the Horses of All Ages auction, held in January. Based in Lexington, the current President/CEO is Bill Thomason, who grew up in London.
* Full House Resorts, Inc operates profitable gaming facilities in five states. The closest facility to Kentucky is across the Ohio River, at Rising Star Casino Resort in Rising Sun, Ind. Formerly the Grand Victoria hotel and riverboat casino, it was bought by Full House Resorts in 2011 for $43 million. Two other casinos are in Santa Fe, N.M., with two in Nevada and one in Mississippi. The company founded in 1992, by former racehorse breeder and founder of Gulfstream Aerospace Allen Paulson. Former Chrysler Corporation Chairman Lee Iacocca has been a major investor since the mid-90's and is currently Director.

The searchers in The Buffalo News Opinion corner today worry about government officials who like to hide things, and encourages other government officials -- mostly judges -- to make them stop.
- Burying the question - Buffalo News Editorial
You'd think that people who aspire to the title "election commissioner" would be all about making it as easy as possible for the qualified electors of any jurisdiction to intelligently cast their ballots.
Maybe in some places. Not in Erie County.
[Referendum's place on ballot an issue - Buffalo News, Oct. 19]
By working together in a way that gives the term "bipartisan" a really bad ring, Election Commissioners Dennis E. Ward, the Democrat, and Ralph M. Mohr, the Republican, have done about all that can be done to block, and then obscure, a public vote on the proposition to downsize the Erie County Legislature.
First the pair tried to disqualify the referendum on shrinking the legislative body from 15 members to 11 on the grounds that the wrong functionary had filed the document after it was approved by the Legislature.
After that stunt was rightfully rejected by a local judge, Ward and Mohr returned with the news that the ballot question would be printed on the back of the paper ballot, not at the top as has been the traditional home for such questions. ...
The election commissioners should change their mind and put the ballot questions on the front. If they don't do it on their own, the commissioners' acknowledged hostility to the question should move a court to order it. ...
- Affront to the Constitution - Buffalo News Editorial
The ticking-bomb rule just doesn't hold water if the timer has been going for a month.
That was the ruling by one federal appeals court in August, when it rightly overturned a Washington, D.C., night-club owner's drug conviction on the grounds that the global positioning system device [right] police had attached to his car — for 28 days — amounted to an unconstitutional search.
Unfortunately, other federal courts, including the usually liberal 9th Circuit Court in California, have held otherwise. Worse, the Obama administration in general, and the FBI in particular, continue to argue that investigators have the right to attach GPS gizmos to cars belonging to anyone, for any reason, for any length of time, without having to explain themselves to a judge.
[Discovery Of GPS Tracker Becomes Privacy Issue - AP/NPR, Oct. 16]
This line of thinking clearly offends the spirit of the Bill of Rights, even if its authors weren't clairvoyant enough to include the letters GPS in the Fourth Amendment. ...
Because some federal courts agree that a warrant should be required for such activities, and some do not, the logical next step is for the question to be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court. But, given its current make-up and the chief justice's devotion to conservative judicial activism, the chances of the civil liberties of American citizens and legal residents being protected at that level are slim.
Better the White House change its tune. Better still that Congress make the the warrant requirement a law, so no one will be confused that the Constitution means what it says.

CHAPEL HILL — Jonathan Cooper arrived at North Carolina as a lightly recruited player, overlooked and disregarded by most of best teams in the nation. He leaves college as perhaps the best interior lineman in the country, and after the Tar Heels 45-38 victory against Maryland on Saturday, Cooper lingered in the moment.
Bittersweet, Cooper said afterward of his emotions following the Heels victory on senior day. Happy to win the game, but sad that that was my last game in that Carolina blue uniform in Kenan Stadium.
(I) really just tried to soak up the atmosphere.
There could have been more of one, what with thousands of empty seats at Kenan. But as far as endings go, this is about as much as UNC could have expected, or hoped for, when it began a season that in some aspects had already been decided.
Long before they began preseason practice, the Tar Heels knew there would be no bowl game for them this season, that thered be no appearance in the ACC championship game. Even so, their come-from-behind victory on Saturday after trailing 35-21 in the third quarter allowed them to finish in a tie with Georgia Tech and Miami for first place in the Coastal Division.
Had the Heels been eligible for the postseason, they would have won the divisional tiebreaker and played Florida State on Saturday in the ACC championship game. But coach Larry Fedora and players said on Saturday there were no thoughts about what-ifs, or what could have been.
Instead, Fedora spoke of his teams perseverance and how it rallied from a two-touchdown third-quarter deficit.
I was proud of the way these guys fought back in the second half (and) came out there and fought, scratched, clawed their way to victory, Fedora said. Im proud, again, of these seniors and what they mean to this team.
To be Coastal Division champs and thats the way well look at it were very proud of this football team.
The ACC wont recognize UNC as division champions. There will be no trophy. But there will be memories, for Fedora and for his players, of a team that didnt surrender to its circumstances.
The latest example came on Saturday early in the third quarter, after Stefon Diggs, the Maryland freshman receiver, returned the second halfs opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown that gave the Terrapins a 35-21 lead.
UNC needed just 24 seconds to respond, and did so on Bryn Renners 50-yard touchdown pass to Quinshad Davis, a freshman who caught nine passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns. After a defensive stop, the Heels tied the game at 35 with Renners 15-yard pass to Erik Highsmith with 12:10 to play in the third quarter.
Those two touchdowns were the first of the Heels 24 third-quarter points. By the time their barrage ended, they led 45-35, and Maryland never recovered the momentum it had built before halftime.
Highsmith, who in his final game finished with two catches for 27 yards, was one of many UNC seniors who tried to put into words what his final collegiate game represented. He struggled.
Im not prepared for it, man, he said of the end of his collegiate career. Ill probably cry a couple of more times tonight about it.
The ending of UNCs senior day story was happy for the Heels, but the middle had the home crowd booing at halftime. The Heels led 14-0 less than three minutes into the game, but mustered little else offensively during the rest of the first half.
During the final 21 seconds of the second quarter, Maryland tied the game at 21 and then took a 28-21 lead after UNC fumbled a kickoff. The Terps recovered and Shawn Petty, a freshman linebacker who is playing quarterback because Maryland has been decimated by injuries, threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Dorsey.
Then Maryland began the second half with Diggs 99-yard return. Renner, who completed 28 of his 39 attempts for 305 yards and five touchdowns, described that moment afterward.
To sum up our season, I think Jonathan Cooper, the rock of our team, really said it the best, Renner said. We have this saying, Hanging loose. We do the Hawaii sign. And when everythings chaotic and when adversity comes, we kind of just hang loose.
And we had dealt with adversity before, on the field and off, so we knew how to bounce back.
The Heels did. After Renners first two scoring passes in the third, Thomas Moore added a 22-yard field goal and Giovani Bernard, who gained 163 yards on 27 carries, scored on a 1-yard run.
Bernard helped UNC melt away the clock late in the fourth quarter, after Marylands Brad Craddock made a 27-yard field goal with 3:12 to play. The Terrapins came no closer, and UNC celebrated a victory that was at once both meaningless and among the most meaningful of Fedoras first season here.
Afterward, Sylvester Williams, the Tar Heels senior defensive tackle, thought back to his first encounter with Fedora. During that meeting, Fedora told Williams hed need to lose about 30 pounds.
So Williams did, and then became one of Fedoras favorite players.
Im sad but Im also excited that I got a chance to play for all these guys and all these coaches, Williams said. Because its not every day you meet guys in your life that will probably be a part of your life for the rest of your life.
Even though his team couldnt play in the postseason because of NCAA sanctions, Fedora spoke often throughout the season about leaving a legacy. Cooper, the senior lineman, answered quickly when asked what he wanted the UNCs seniors legacy to be.
One of a tough group of fighters, he said. People who have been through a lot and just continue to fight back.

Rockland County Legislature Chairwoman Harriet Cornell announced at Wednesday's meeting that County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef officially vetoed the legislature's awarding of the county bus contracts to Brega Transport Corp. in Valley Cottage.
The legislature awarded the bid to Brega at a meeting two weeks ago, with Legislator Nancy Low-Hogan the only legislator voting against it. She said the veto from Vanderhoef was "not surprising."
Low-Hogan said she didn't vote in approval of the bid because all three final bidders -- Brega, MV Transportation and Coach USA, which owns the Rockland Transit Corp -- had variances in their bids.
"I wouldn't have voted to award the bid to any of the three companies," she said. "Until the procurement department comes forward and says we have a lowest qualified bidder, I don't see how we can vote to award the bid."
In a letter to the legislature explaining his decision, Vanderhoef wrote the New York State Law and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regulations require the county to evaluate bids in response to the specifications set in the request for bids (RFB).
"By awarding a contract that materially varies from the bid specifications, the county legislature is altering the specifications after the bidding process and is giving the successful bidder an unfair advantage of permitting that bidder to calculate its bid on a basis different from that afforded to the other companies," Vanderhoef wrote in that same letter.
Vanderhoef stated that "it is in the opinion of the county attorney that it would be unlawful to proceed with an award of the contract to Brega Transport Corporation on terms that materially vary from the RFB."
Going against the RFB might also have other consequences, Vanderhoef warned in his letter.
"Most importantly, as you know, our public transportation system is primarily funded by the federal government through the FTA, which requires that we comply with federal government rules," he wrote. "Our Department of Public Transportation advises that funding for this essential public service may be jeopardized by any violation of these federal regulations and laws."
Cornell said the legislature has 30 days to act on the veto and vote whether to agree with it or override it. She said she's not sure when the vote will come, and added it could come as early as the legislature's next meeting, but nothing is set yet.

A part of a working relationship with WWE, KaBOOM! is building some playgrounds in New Orleans, the site of Wrestlemania 30. To assists in the project, Stephanie McMahon, who is spearheading things for her company, sent Kofi Kingston to help with design.
There are those backstage that were disappointed with Royal Rumble 2014, as many feel that there were not enough highlight spots during the match. Kofi Kingston was praised for doing his best to produce memorable moments, but very few others were able to stand out. Jamie Noble, the agent in charge of the match, has backstage heat because of that.
Batista won Royal Rumble 2014 by eliminating Roman Reigns in the end. Other contestants during the match were Alberto Del Rio, Alexander Rusev, Antonio Cesaro, Big E Langston, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, El Torito, Erick Rowan, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Jack Swagger, JBL, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Kane, Kevin Nash, Kofi Kingston, Luke Harper, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Ryback, Seth Rollins, Sheamus and the Miz.
While many are understandably cautious since he has not been utilized well for quite some time now, there are talks within WWE of pushing Kofi Kingston, and those rumors heated up when he was given a shocking victory over heavyweight champion Randy Orton on Monday Night Raw.
A few fans have noticed that Kofi Kingston has been absent from Monday Night Raw and Smackdown as of late. The longtime WWE star was doing a promotional tour of Saudi Arabia. He's back in the United States and will be back on the road shortly.
