Apple execs sell off half a million shares for around $314 million
Tim Cook isn't the only one cashing in Apple stock these days; Senior VP of marketing, Phil Schiller, CFO Peter Openheimer, VP of hardware engineering Robert Mansfield, and VP of iOS software Scott Forstall recently had the restrictions on some of their stocks removed, resulting in a sizable sell-off between March 24 and March 26. Even Cook sold off a few more. Here's the breakdown according to the SEC filings.
Tim Cook – Apple CEO
- 200,000 shares sold; stock prices ranging from $596.05-606.80.
- Total value: $119,715,170
Philip Schiller – Senior VP of Worldwide Marketing
-64,151 shares sold; stock prices ranging from $602.30-603.05. - Total value: $38,661,014
Peter Openheimer – Senior VP and CFO
- 150,000 shares sold; stock prices ranging from $596.05-599.33.
- Total value: $89,624,444
Robert Mansfield – Senior VP Hardware Engineering
- 56,016 shares sold at $596.05.
- Total value: $33,388,336
Scott Forstall – Senior VP iOS Software
- 55,849 shares sold at $596.05.
- Total value: $33,288,796
Total dollar amount combined: $314,677,763.28
Before anyone freaks out that Apple execs are losing faith in the company, this is actually pretty common practice, and not surprising considering these guys probably have lots more stock (restricted and otherwise) piled up. The timing also lines up nicely with Apple's plans to buy that stock right back. The AAPL stock price approached $615 a pop during the period the execs sold off, compared to around $350 at this time last year. This is the part where you start smacking yourself for not buying stock five years ago when it was down around $90.

How many iPhones do you think they'll buy with they're new cash????
Not surprising. With the company's announcement last week, probably a good idea to sell off once the blackout restrictions were lifted. I would also bet the shares sold off are not a significant portion of their holdings in Apple.
Here comes wall street mania craze @ Apple. Now that Steve Job's is gone, wall street plans to have its way with the company. Welcome to the downfall of Apple.
Idiot 1
1st dividends back to the stock holders instead of reinvesting into R&D and now execs cashing out. Jobs would have none of this. You can clearly see where the company is heading.
Or maybe this is their only chance to take advantage of the lower capital gain rates before it expires at the end of the year. They can't just sell stock like you or I can. They are limited to certain periods when they can sell stock.
And the rich get richer.

Op-Ed article by Iraqi government officials Rafe al-Essawi and Atheel al-Nujaifi notes Iran and the United States have used their influence to insist that Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, a sectarian-minded Shiite Muslim, remain prime minister; warns this has made situation in country perilous, particularly for Sunnis; contends that only a government with significant Sunni participation can combat the Sunni Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

Jul. 15, 2014
Memo From Iraq; Iraqi Prime Min Nuri Kamal al-Maliki's reactions to Sunni militants who are claiming territory in the country are echoing those of former strongman Saddam Hussein; while his Shiite-led government had previously not sunk into the outright dictatorship that Hussein's Sunni-dominated Baath Party commanded, lately it has mostly dispensed with allowing journalists to ask questions and has pulled the plug on social media. MORE

MORE

Iraq's Prime Min Nuri Kamal al-Maliki accuses Kurds of aiding Sunni militants, even as sectarian tensions appears to be rising with the discovery of 50 bodies, blindfolded, bound and shot about 50 miles south of Baghdad; part of Maliki's anger is over persistent demand for Kurdish independence, even as Iraq is in the midst of trying to form a new government. MORE

MORE
Jun. 29, 2014

MORE
Jun. 17, 2014
Iraqi Prime Min Nuri Kamal al-Maliki has resisted calls to work toward reconciling Sunni Arabs and Kurds, instead spending most of his time running his country's military strategy and trying to recruit Shiites to battle Sunni militants; lack of trust across ethnic lines is stirring political opposition from potential allies. MORE

Pres Obama, weighing airstrikes against militants in Iraq, concludes that any American military action will be conditional on a political plan to resolve country's sectarian crisis; pushes Iraqi Prime Min Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, a Shiite, to work with nation's Kurds to persuade the disaffected Sunni minority that next government will represent interests of all three groups.

Shiites respond by the thousands to call to arms issued by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani to protect fellow Shiites and to prop up Shiite government of Iraqi Prime Min Nuri Kamal al-Maliki; strong response is in part due to fact that Shiites feel that they are on verge of squandering opportunity to rule in Iraq; reliance on Shiite militias to combat Islamic State in Iraq and Syria fighters raises chilling memories of sectarian war that raged there from 2005 to 2008.

Societe Generale's asset allocation team reckons cash-rich corporates are going to start ploughing money into deals as the economy recovers, and that spells a brighter future for stocks than bonds. The graph above is lifted from a note published earlier this week, in which the French bank shows how equities tend to outperform bonds as M&A becomes proportionally more important (they measure it as a percentage of GDP).
The Paris- and London-based team adds:
"Beyond share buybacks, we believe three main factors will trigger a strong M&A cycle: equities are still cheap versus bonds, productivity gains should continue to be a priority for corporates and the primary credit market has reopened, with access to cheap financing. Furthermore, higher industrial concentration leads to stronger pricing power."
"M&A is currently a massive source of alpha for stock pickers as control premiums are above 40% in the U.S. and above 25% in Europe."

Burlington Central's Kayla Ross (right) looks for a teammate to pass to while she stole a loose ball from Hampshire's Jen Dumoulin during the fourth quarter of their Class 3A Regional game Wednesday evening in Burlington. | Michael R. Schmidt ~ For Sun-Ti
At the outset of Wednesday's Burlington Central Regional Class 3A semifinal against rival Hampshire, the top-seeded hosts looked a great deal like the freshman and sophomore-dominated team that they are.
The initiation to win-or-go-home basketball took about 29-1/2 minutes. By the close of the game, the Rockets had ice in their veins.
Burlington Central saw what was once a 12-point second-half lead whittled to three, but stood its ground and then hit 10-of-12 free throws in the final 2:39 to put away a 36-26 victory to make Friday's 7:30 p.m. championship game against second-seeded Plano.
"We were just nervous because it's just like half the team's first regional and it's against Hampshire, our rival," said Central senior Camille Delacruz. "We practice free throws a lot. We knew we had to knock them down at the end.
"We calmed down and the nerves were gone by then."
Central (26-4), which has set a school record for wins, had struggled to an 18-14 halftime lead against fifth-seeded Hampshire (11-17) before holding the Whip-Purs scoreless the first 4:15 of the third quarter while scoring eight points for a 26-14 lead. From there, five points by Hampshire's Jen Dumoulin and four from Emma Benoit helped the Whip-Purs get in position, and it was a one-possession game with 3:25 to go after Nikki Dumoulin's steal and three-point field goal.
But when Benoit tried to drive inside, she found Central freshman Shelby Holt waiting. Holt, known more for her offensive skills, reached and stole the ball, and the Rockets then began a procession to the foul line.
"She sees Camille and Kayla [Ross] doing it and she kind of took a chance, and it worked out in our favor," Central coach Mark Smith said.
Alison Colby started the free throw parade with two with 2:39 left for a five-point lead, and after two missed Hampshire shots, Delacruz made two. Delacruz and Ross went on to make 3-of-4 each and Sam Pryor also made two in the final stretch.
Central got a game-high 11 points from Ross and eight from Holt, but after making three straight three-pointers to start the game, the Rockets missed nine straight. A 14-5 lead after a quarter made it look like it would be a blowout, but that never materialized.
"No matter what happens, the first game in the playoffs doesn't go like you want it to go, but a win is a win," Smith said, after pointing out three of his mentors, including former St. Charles coaching great Ron Johnson, had often said this is the case.
"We knew they were going to play us hard for 32 minutes, but as long as you continue on to the next game that's the goal."
Hampshire had 14 points and five rebounds from Jen Dumoulin in her final game, but 10-for-34 shooting from the field against Central's tenacious defense proved too much to overcome.
"I'm very proud of my kids," Hampshire coach Ed Haugens said. "A few rebounds here and there that we didn't get and a few shots here and there that didn't fall ...
"It's a tribute to how far our kids have come since the beginning of the season. We were down by 25 at halftime and lost to them by 12 the first time."

NORMAN — Coming on the heels of Giving Tuesday, (following Cyber Monday and Black Friday), the Nonprofit Times reports America has regained the top spot in the World Giving index.
The survey is published by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) in Kent, U.K. It is the largest annual global survey of giving. The U.S. sits above Canada, Myanmar (Burma), New Zealand, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Australia — which had secured the first spot in last year's Index.
Greece rounded out the 135-country list, with Croatia above it. The U.S. had an overall World Index Giving Score — which is calculated by averaging from the three questions in the survey — of 61 percent, the highest on record for the survey. The three methods of giving the Index looks at are the percentage of people who give money to charity, volunteer their time, or help a stranger in a typical month.
This year's Index found record numbers of Americans giving their time and helping others, with 77 percent of Americans saying they had helped a stranger — more than any other country in the world — and 45 percent saying they gave time. Overall, nearly two out of three Americans (62 percent) said they gave money — up five percentage points from 2012.
The 2013 World Giving Index also found that generosity is rising across the world, not just in America. The average for all three categories of giving increased, despite the rate of the global economy dropping from 4 to 3 percent. This boost in giving was largely driven by an extra 200 million people helping a stranger in 2012, more than double the growth in the number of people giving money or volunteering.

|Women's Basketball Preview: At Campbell
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - Fresh off its first victory of the season, the UNCW women's basketball team returns to the road Tuesday as it renews acquaintances with regional rival Campbell in a mid-week matinee at Gore Arena.
Tip-off for the Seahawks and Camels will be at 11:45 a.m. as Campbell will welcome local elementary schools to the 3,095-seat facility to watch the game.
The Seahawks improved to 1-2 on the young season with a 65-62 triumph over visiting Northern Kentucky on Saturday. Junior Kelva Atkins established a new career high with 28 points and freshman Brie Mobley added 13 to spark a Seahawks attack that shot 40.7 ( 22-of-54) percent from the floor and 87.5 percent (14-of-16) at the free-throw line. Freshman Ryan Flowers pulled down a team-high 13 rebounds to pace UNCW to a 44-27 advantage on the glass.
A native of Stem, N.C., Atkins has gotten off to a flying start in her junior campaign as she paces the team in scoring (19.7), rebounds (7.0) and assists (3.7). Mobley has also excelled in Head Coach Adell Harris' lineup in the early going, reaching double figures in points in each of her first three games to become the first Seahawks rookie to accomplish that feat since Brittany Blackwell did so during her freshman season in 2007-08.
Campbell is off to a 2-1 start to the season with double-digit victories over Erskine (82-56) and Western Carolina (73-60) at home and an eight-point setback on the road to Wake Forest. Junior Kiera Gaines has been a force to be reckoned with thus far as she is averaging nearly a double-double with 16.0 points and 9.7 rebounds to pace the Camels in both categories. Senior Roslyn Presley has provided scoring depth to veteran coach Wanda Watkins' squad, averaging 13.7 points per game while sophomore RaeChun Edwards has served as the team's primary playmaker with a team-high 16 assists.
Tuesday's game serves as the 47th meeting between UNCW and Campbell and the sixth matchup since the 2000-01 season. The Camels hold a 30-16 edge in the all-time series that dates back to the 1973-74 campaign, but the Seahawks have won three straight, including a 79-73 victory in their last meeting on Dec. 10, 2011 in Wilmington.
UNCW returns home after its contest against the Camels as it faces Tulane in a 7 p.m. contest Friday at Trask Coliseum.


text: The Five-Year Engagement Couples Engagement Dos and Don'ts From The Five-Year Engagement by Tara Block 4/27/12 0 Reactions 11 Shares Print 0 2 4 5 0 This weekend The Five-Year Engagement hits theaters, and you don't have to be engaged to relate to the relationship ups and downs Tom and Violet (played by Jason Segel and Emily Blunt) go through over the course of the film as they struggle to make it to the altar. But if you are taking part in this wedding season either as one half of a betrothed couple, as a bridesmaid, or as a family member to a bride-to-be, there are some tips to glean from the rom-com. Check out these proposal and engagement dos and don'ts from The Five-Year Engagement now! (Warning: spoilers ahead!) Photo courtesy of Universal Do be sentimental and thoughtful. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When Tom proposes to Violet he makes it really personal by incorporating special moments between the two of them and details he remembered her talking about. He proposed on New Year's Eve, exactly a year after they met. And he got her an antique ruby engagement ring since he knew how upset blood diamonds make her. He even booked an appointment at a jewelry shop for the next day in case she didn't like the ring! Over the course of your engagement it can be easy to get caught up in the wedding planning, but don't forget to show your man some love by paying attention to the details and surprising him with thoughtful date nights. Photo courtesy of Universal 1 / 11 Don't hook up with the best friend. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 At Tom and Violet's overnight engagement party, Tom's best friend Alex and Violet's sister Suzie end up in bed together after having just met. While the hookup turns out fine in the movie (albeit with some unexpected consequences), in real life you could cause some messy moments by sleeping with a fellow member of the bridal party before the big day. If things get awkward between you and the guy, the whole group will suffer during all the lead-up to and during the wedding. If one of the groomsmen catches your eye, better to save it for the wedding reception. Photo courtesy of Universal 2 / 11 Do communicate your feelings. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When Violet gets a job out of state, Tom puts his own career on the back burner so that they can make the move from San Francisco to Michigan. Violet is constantly asking Tom if he's OK with the move and the lifestyle changes that come with it, and he's always telling her he's fine even though he's really having a hard time with it. Think of the engagement period as a trial run for your marriage, and if you're spending that time just pretending you're OK with things that you're not, it's only going to fester and blow up later on down the line. It's healthy to communicate your feelings with your partner, even if that means getting in some fights. And if there are any deal breakers to address, you'll be happy you talked it through before you made the commitment to marry the guy. Photo courtesy of Universal 3 / 11 Don't steal the bride's thunder. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Suzie's one night with Alex ends up having a major consequence . . . she gets pregnant! And to top it off, she and Alex decide to get married before the baby comes, which means they have a wedding and a baby all before Tom and Violet tie the knot. Obviously, you can't always help life situations like that, but if your sister or best friend is in the midst of planning a wedding, be considerate about your own big events. Photo courtesy of Universal 4 / 11 Do take family into consideration What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A running joke in the movie is that Tom and Violet are taking so long to plan their wedding all the older relatives keep dying. It's always good to keep elderly family members in mind while planning your big day, whether it's when you're deciding the location, timing, or music selection. For many of them, your wedding is something they've been excited to attend for your whole life! Photo courtesy of Universal 6 / 11 Don't bring up exes. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Alex has the not-so genius idea of presenting a slideshow of all of Tom's exes at the engagement party. Violet laughs it off, but there are many brides who would be mortified and outraged at such a scene. If you're a sister or bridesmaid giving a speech at an engagement party or the wedding, trust us, it's always a bad idea to bring up past relationships, no matter how hilarious it seems at the time. You'll make the couple feel awkward, and remember, this day is about their future, not their past. Save the ex talk for the bachelorette party! Photo courtesy of Universal 6 / 11 Do let your man help with planning. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When Tom and Violet start up the wedding planning for the second time in Michigan, Violet is swamped with her new job so Tom volunteers to take it on himself. It may be really, really hard to let go of the planning duties if you're an attention-to-detail freak, but there are times when it's a good thing — for sanity's sake. Stop, breathe, and remember, this day is about both of you, so it's OK to let your groom have some input. Photo courtesy of Universal 7 / 11 Don't put yourself in compromising situations. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After they move to Michigan, Violet starts spending a majority of her time with her new co-workers and boss, Winton. By spending so much time with Winton, it's clear that an emotional affair is in the works. This leads to an intimate moment between the two that threatens to destroy Tom and Violet's relationship. Just because you have a ring on your finger doesn't give you free rein to flirt with other guys. And if you are putting more time and effort into relationships with other men over your fiancé, you risk losing him. Photo courtesy of Universal 8 / 11 Do write down speeches. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Suzie's speech at Tom and Violet's engagement party is a blubbery, mumbling mess due to how emotional she is about her sister's impending nuptials. If you're a bridesmaid or family member of the happy couple and you know that you're going to tear up, have the speech written down on a piece of paper to keep you on track. And it's also probably a good idea to save the Champagne for afterward. Photo courtesy of Universal 9 / 11 Don't wait for things to be perfect. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Tom and Violet continue to put off their wedding thanks to various less-than ideal circumstances in their lives. But unfortunate things happen all the time, that's life! And if you've found the person you want by your side during those rough times, why not just hit up the altar as soon as you can? That said, there isn't a rule book for how long or short your engagement should be, so do what's best for you and your man. Photo courtesy of Universal 11 / 11 Do roll with the punches. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Despite all their setbacks, Violet doesn't fall apart or turn into a bridezilla. Over the course of the film she can't find a venue, she's dealing with pressure to set a date from her family, she starts a new job in a new state, she gives the planning reins to her fiancé, her sister gets married before she does, and (spoiler alert!) she ends up having a very, very nontraditional wedding in the end. No matter how hard you try during the planning process, things aren't going to be perfect. And that's OK! Don't let the pitfalls discourage you or sidetrack you from remembering that this day is about the love you share with your one and only. And some rain or a dropped cake or whatever it is that doesn't go according to plan won't change what the wedding is really about.

The event celebrated the annual Six Nations Rugby tournament with a packed evening of good food, great hospitality, an auction and entertainment. Tenor Martin Toal sang rousing renditions of several rugby classics. An auction, raffle and quiz added to the fun including a House of Commons bottle of whisky signed by Prime Minister David Cameron which raised a £100.
Wooden Spoons West Midlands chairman Phil Pemble said: We would like to recognise the fantastic support we received from the regions business community. Around 180 people attended and dug deep to support the cause to the tune of £7,000.
This event took us that bit closer to breaking through the magical £1 million barrier for funds raised and spent on projects here in the West Midlands. With our planned golf day in July and the help of business in the region we believe we can get extremely close to that target. added Phil, who is PR manager of Birmingham-based employment and training specialists Pertemps People Development Group who helped sponsor the event.
Wooden Spoon, founded almost 30 years ago, raises money both locally and nationally to invest in capital projects that benefit disadvantaged children and young people. Last year the West Midlands regions built a sensory room for a special school in Burton-on-Trent, and donated money for a major refurbishment in support of Harborne based Focus Birmingham accommodating school leavers with sight loss.
Were all volunteers who channel our passion for the game to help those less fortunate, continued Phil. Fundraising is extremely competitive but always worthwhile. Nothing can ever replace the smiles we generate with the opening of a new playground, a sensory room or a refurbishment.

Because the opening of my Hip Hop Food Stop is getting such rave reviews from restaurant goers that don't exist, I thought I'd jump back into the food game by contacting Ben & Jerry's (who, by the way, is having a FREE CONE DAY on April 3rd!) with my ideas for musician-inspired ice cream flavors. We all may be familiar with their flavors "Jerry Garcia" and "Phish Food" out right now. Since it seems they love to honor great music with an ice cream flavor but haven't done so in a while, I came up with some ideas. If you have any to add, please let me know!

T-shirts, school supplies and a life-sized bloodhound mascot renowned for taking a bite out of crime will be on tap Tuesday night as police and neighbors join together to take their own bite out of drugs and violence.
Starting at 6 p.m., nearly 30 police officers will converge on 30 Rock Hill neighborhoods, distributing free give-aways and hopefully building relationships with neighbors who will trust police to resolve their issues, said Rock Hill Police Lt. Jim Grayson.
And, theyll do it all while grilling burgers, eating ice cream and sliding down water slides during National Night Out.
National Night Out, a nationwide campaign sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch entering its 30th year, gives residents and police an opportunity to host cookouts, contests and festivals while taking a vigilant stand against crime, drugs and violence.
In Rock Hill, caravans of police cars and fire trucks will make stops in five areas, including the South Central, Flint Hill and College Downs neighborhoods south of City Hall. McGruff the Crime Dog, known to pose for pictures and hug eager children, will join them.
Bridge the gap
For Rock Hill police, the goal is to bridge the gap between the community and police, Grayson said, and bring police to the neighborhood in a good way.
One of those neighborhoods will include Market Place apartments off Heckle Boulevard, where police documented 35 reported crimes so far this year within 500 feet of the complex.
Since she became apartment manager, Martha Bratton said shes worked to change the areas reputation. The people who live at Market Place school-age children, parents and the elderly are not the source of the issues.
Its the company that they keep, she said.
To push out the unwanted guests, Bratton said apartment management has started placing troublemakers on trespass and banning them from the property.
The gathering at Market Place, with hot dogs, hamburgers and music, will start at 5 p.m. and last until 8 p.m.
Its just been an amazing event, she said. We seem to grow every year.
In York, neighbors will be able to tour the police department, feast on shaved ice and cotton candy and dunk-a-cop in a dunking booth on Roosevelt Street during the York Police Departments second-year taking part in the nationwide event.
The festivities start at 7 p.m. and will last until 9 p.m.
Police decided to centralize the location this year after some groups fought over resources, and others might have mistaken the picnics on church lawns as purely church events, said York Police Chief Andy Robinson.
This year, he said, police want to make sure everyone is included.

A science program born in the is growing and spreading its arms to other Northern Virginia Schools.
A $1 million grant from the Virginia General Assembly is funding the expansion of Northern Virginia Community College's Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) initiative.
NOVA officials plan first to expand the program, called SySTEMic Solutions, into Loudoun County schools, but then extend into the Fairfax County, Alexandria and Arlington, according to a press release from the college.
SySTEMic is a collaboration among employers, colleges and universities and secondary education school divisions to have more than 3,000 students preparing for STEM careers by the year 2015.
Through SySTEMic, program administrators and educations work to align secondary and college-level curriculum and programs so students can have dual enrollment STEM courses.
Students can also participate in science and technology activities and camps as well as internships and jobs in that employment field, NOVA officials said.
Teachers of STEM subjects also benefit through professional opportunities linked to the program.
The model began several years ago in Manassas Park, Manassas and Prince William County school districts through the Pathway to the Baccalaureate college access and student success program.
"We face a critical shortage of scientists, engineers and technicians in Northern Virginia," said NOVA President Robert G. Templin Jr.
"At NOVA, we are excited to be able to enlarge the pipeline of students preparing to enter college and graduate with STEM degrees. Thus far, we have been able to reach over 1,000 students and we look forward to expanding these activities in school divisions across the region."
The program's ultimate goal is to meet the demand for a trained workforce in advanced technologies, according to the release.
Many SySTEMic Solutions enrollees come from moderate or low-income families and likely will be first in their family to consider college, NOVA administrators said.

Anyone know why he's constantly asking to come out of the game?
Anyone know why he's constantly asking to come out of the game?
Willie Colon eats Mexican for his pre game meal?......I wondered the same thing last night. He had two nice gains in a row and was them motioning to come out....I'm yelling 'stay the f_ck in there and keep pounding'......
They were asking the same question on the fan today and I haven't heard a legit answer.
" We'll do the same thing we always do, we'll take every situation from week to week and do what we think is best for that week and evaluate it on that basis.. If cheating will give us the edge as it has always done then, we will continue to cheat. " Bill Belichick
Instead of ripping Dwyer might we consider that he is coming off an injury and the coaching staff instructed him if he feels something to take a breather because they have depth at RB. I know it is easier for internet "he men" to question the courage and heart of Dwyer but we have no idea what he has been told to do, do we?
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
Dwyer was our best RB last night, maybe he should improve his conditioning a bit but when you are a big back and run as hard as he does perhaps you need a breather every so often.
would you guys rather have Dwyer stay in the game if he feels winded?

The Carolina Panthers knew they were getting a player in Mike Mitchell who liked to live on the edge – his questionable hit against Cam Newton in 2012 was evidence of that.
What they didn't know was that Mitchell, now the team's starting free safety, also had a knack for interceptions.
"We're finding out very quickly he's a ball hawk," Panther coach Ron Rivera said.
That ball hawk has had three interceptions in the Panthers' past two games and will go for another Sunday in the Panthers' 1 p.m. home game against St. Louis. But three is already one more interception than Mitchell racked up in his first four NFL seasons at Oakland combined.
With the Raiders, Mitchell was always a backup. "I got hurt early and gave a guy the chance to Wally Pipp me, and he did," Mitchell said.
That analogy – to the New York Yankees first baseman who was replaced by Lou Gehrig, who then started 2,130 games in a row – gives you some idea of what it's like to have a conversation with Mitchell. He is quick-witted and more multi-dimensional than you might expect of a safety known primarily for hard hits.
Mitchell is a reader who says he's studying the Bible – specifically the book of Romans. He likes movies – he loved "42" and wants to go see "Captain Phillips." He said he almost always passes up teammates' invitations to go out on the town.
"I'm only 26, but I live the life of a 40-year-old," Mitchell said.
Fortunately he plays like he's 26. Mitchell has become an NFL starter for the first time with the Panthers. Once Charles Godfrey went down with a season-ending injury in the Panthers' second game, Carolina entrusted Mitchell to switch from strong to free safety and to make the defensive calls for the secondary.
A self-described "huge, huge loner" off the field, on it Mitchell has become a loud leader for the defensive backs on it. He does not lack for confidence.
"Mike is too smart for his own good," said Captain Munnerlyn, Mitchell's defensive backfield teammate, with a smile. "He thinks he knows everything. But he's a great football player."
Said Rivera: "Mike is very emphatic with those checks (to align the defense.) If he's wrong, we're all wrong. We'll play them together, though. But for the most part he's usually right. When and if he is wrong, the best thing is because he's taken such command … we play whatever's been called."
Mitchell grew up in Fort Thomas, Ky., not far from Cincinnati. "I've been a Bluebird, a Bobcat, a Raider and now a Panther," Mitchell said. "I do best when I'm part of the cat family."
After playing in high school for the Highlands Bluebirds, Mitchell was modestly recruited. The biggest school going after him was Kentucky. He went on an official visit to a football game in 2004, where the Wildcats got beaten by Ohio University.
"I was like, 'Where the heck is Ohio University?' " Mitchell recalled.
He soon found out that Ohio University was in Athens, Ohio, and he ended up going to school there and playing well for the Bobcats and coach Frank Solich. Mitchell was the rare player out of the Mid-American Conference to get picked in the second round of the NFL draft after not getting invited to the scouting combine. Oakland chose him No.47 overall in 2009 after he ran a 4.39 40-yard dash at Ohio's Pro Day.
But he got stuck behind safety Tyvon Branch in Oakland, playing mostly on special teams and in passing situations.
His hit against Newton came last December. After Newton released the ball, Mitchell hit him and "drove me into the ground," as Newton would say later. Newton protested Mitchell should be flagged, but he wasn't. Instead, the quarterback yelled at and bumped referee Jerome Boger while complaining, got penalized 15 yards and was later fined by the NFL.
"Cam was just a young player," Mitchell said. "OK, it was maybe a little questionable. But no flag, no harm, no foul. The first thing Cam said to me when I got here, though, was 'Hey, you're that guy we got from Oakland? You cost me like $10,000.'"
Mitchell does sometimes draw flags for his hits, which sometimes do border on being late. "Sometimes I do play on the edge," he said. "I've been trying to tone that back lately because I've been flagged a couple of times. But I can't help it."
Said defensive end Greg Hardy of Mitchell: "A good word to describe him is 'attack.'... He's my type of guy. I love him. I don't have to worry about him pulling up on the sideline. I know the play is going to get finished and if it's not, me and Luke (Kuechly) are going to be right there. That's three guys who play out of control."
Mitchell credits Hardy and Kuechly, among others, for those three interceptions the past two weeks. All three came on quarterback overthrows and included quarterback pressure, along with some great coverage by Kuechly and Munnerlyn underneath.
Panther defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, whose Carolina defense is ranked No.3 in total yardage allowed, said of Mitchell: "The thing I love about Mike is he's a physical presence for us. … As for the interceptions, that's an aspect of his game that has really improved since he came here in the spring."
Mitchell's stay in Carolina could be fleeting. He signed a one-year contract for a million dollars in early 2013 – pocket change for an NFL starter. If he keeps playing this well, he will be in position to command more money in 2014, from the Panthers or someone else.
For now, though, he's just happy to start again.
"Oakland was frustrating for sure," Mitchell said. "There's a certain sense of pride you get knowing you're a starter. I cherish that. I covet that. It's something I don't take for granted, especially since I didn't have it for four years. It took me four years to get it back. I don't want to let it go now."

Shina's recipe for 'Steamed Clams Italiano'
2 or 3 lbs Chelsea Farms Manila Steamers, scrubbed, in shell.
3 cloves chopped garlic
3 T. Olive Oil
Basil and/or Oregano to taste.
Get your lidded pot nice and hot, pour in your olive oil, and when the oil is hot, dump in your clams. Toss garlic and herbs on top, put the lid on, and listen.
Soon you'll hear the clams popping like popcorn. That's the sound of them opening up. Should take around 10 minutes or so, depending on the heat of the pan and the amound of clams you drop in. When the clams are open, it's time to eat. Don't forget bread to sop up the clam broth, that's the best part!
Discard any clams that remain closed.

The Board of Directors of Kinsloe House will host the "75th Birthday Luncheon" at 12 noon on May 8. President Barbara Watkins, with her committee, will present a nostalgic program with a step back to the year 1938. The 30's era was a "Decade of Drama," so come and reminisce with us. Members are urged to wear a hat or gloves or both in keeping with the 30's era. You will see fashions that would have been worn at Kinsloe, hear the sounds of the era, and celebrate with members as they recall the culmination of a dream of the Women's Club House that began in 1937.
May 10, 1938 was chosen as the opening day of the clubhouse as it is the birthday anniversary of Mrs. H.E. Kinsloe that had so graciously donated the house to the clubwomen of Navarro County.

Please call to make your reservations or cancellations by 12 noon on Monday, May 6. Don't miss out on all the fun members are going to have at this event.
