Heading Out on a Boat? Get These Essentials First
Your vessel isn't truly seaworthy until you've added the right gear.
Your vessel isn't truly seaworthy until you've added the right gear.
Say you want to go camping this weekend by a lake... and also on the lake itself.
This year's ceremony took place this past weekend in Florence, Italy. These are the 18 winners.
Japanese car manufacturer Lexus is making a big lifestyle play — and making waves.
A company out of Rockford, Illinois is making top-of-the-line hovercraft for recreational use.
Trusted by the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy and Air Force (to name a few).
Your vessel isn't truly seaworthy until you've added the right gear.
Getting your PWC or boat to and from the water requires a truck with the strength to do it. At the docks, torque and tow capacity reign supreme.
Speed boats provide an excellent space for designers and engineers to let loose. It's no surprise then that car manufacturers are starting to test the waters more and more.
The middle of January is the best chance to check out (and maybe buy) the latest, greatest offerings from the boating industry.
A vessel that exemplifies all the best qualities of being on the water.
A boat is essentially pure freedom, and Sea-Ray's 370 Venture ($390,000+), the brand's top-of-the-line express cruiser, embodies this freedom with style in spades. The Venture 370 redefines a category of boat known for being sporty and fast-cruising while also flashing more amenities than a cabin cruiser. The secret to its success? Swapping traditional onboard V8s for outboard 300 hp Mercury engines.
For most of us the world of powerboats is a bit on the abstract side -- we simply imagine loud, fast and ridiculously expensive, but on water instead of pavement. The Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept boat is a spectacular example of at least the last two qualities.
If sporting the three-pointed star on land just isn't enough for you, aim your vehicular aspirations to the water. Mercedes-Benz's plans to broaden their design chops to more than just cars are officially under way, mimicking Porsche-like endeavors. Mercedes and U.K.-based
Just when you think you've seen just about every kind of vehicle on earth, smarter minds plan a surprise for your cranium. Portsmouth, New Hampshire based Juliet Marine Systems, Inc. has been working with the U.S. Government on the formerly ultra-secret
Few vehicles scream affluence like a speedboat, and Chris Craft happens to build the most elegant sea skippers out there. The company's new Corsair 36 European Edition offers unprecedented luxury and interior space for its category, while also packing plenty
The words "glamour" and "houseboat" normally don't mingle in the same sentence — let alone the same book. The MetroShip ($250,000+), however, is inspired by the open floor plans of coveted NYC loft spaces and designed by prefab construction phenom
The canyons of the Shotover River just outside of Queenstown, New Zealand is unquestionably a picturesque setting. Here, visitors can enjoy the serenity of moving water and think about hobbits, dwarves, and elves to their heart's content. But why do that,
The Hobie Mirage Oasis Kayak ($2,700) has been re-tooled for 2011 to help improve handling and speed while still maintaining great hauling capacity in the form of three enclosed stowage bins and a large on-deck cargo area. Speaking of hauling,
If you happen to be well-off enough to afford your own boat, please don't take the route of "more is more." Classic design will stand the test of time, and you can still have your creature comforts, your technology and modern

Mission Unstoppable: Why Is the CIA Running America's Foreign Policy?
Jared Sperli stashed this in politics
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
That is a very good question with no good answer.
Since its creation in 1947, the CIA has steadily evolved from an agency devoted to its mission of spying on foreign governments to one whose current priority is tracking and killing individual militants in an increasing number of countries. It has been well documented that the agency's growing scope and depth of influence in the counterterrorism fight reflects its growing skill at hunting America's enemies from Pakistan to Yemen. What is more surprising, however, is the CIA's adept navigation of public scandals and its outmaneuvering of the DNI and opponents from the White House, Congress, the Defense Department, and the rest of the intelligence community. Through such machinations, the spy agency has managed to weaken or eliminate crucial counterweights to its own power.

Charlotte Sartre – Slavemouth charlotte
Released: May 25, 2016
This is the first of our raw and rude new series called Slavemouth. Sometime Dr. Mercies doesn't want to treat the girls; he just wants to use them for his pleasure and make them suffer for him. This scene with Charlotte was filmed in real-time with minimum cuts, minimum nonsense, and zero fakery. Watch this if you like genuine, hard treatment of filthy little slavegirls. This scene not only had some rough face fucking and extremely deep asslicking and foot sucking, it's got some rare piss drinking and piss enema treatment and even rarer emotional intensity.

Losing weight, getting rid of belly fat and maintaining a healthy weight is a constant struggle, believe me, I am fighting that battle just like you. Before us lies this gigantic ocean of weight loss programs and sometimes it feels like we might drown. I've been on this never ending rollercoaster since high school and it doesn't seem to get any easier. The biggest dilemma we face is the intimidating search to find the best weight loss program that will actually work for us. And why should that be negative? Every time we take up a new diet program for weight loss, it should feel like an exciting adventure! Don't get discouraged, if a program doesn't suit you, simply start a new one! Brimming with some of the top weight loss programs, give this article a read. You may find something that could bring you closer to your goal weight!
Examples of Easy Weight Reduction Programs
#1 The Master Cleanse Diet Makes You Lose Weight Fast.
Fast weight loss programs are hard to come by. Alternatively known as the Lemonade Diet, the Master Cleanse has gained a great deal of popularity within the celebrity community. The premise is weight loss from restriction and detoxification of the digestive system by only only drinking a salt water concoction in the morning, a lemonade drink throughout the day, and an herbal laxative tea before bedtime. The duration of this program is a total of ten days. You are forbidden to consume any solid foods and have to completely dedicate yourself to the diet's routines.
This rapid weight loss program is undeniably extreme yet, it is undoubtedly effective. I lost weight in the first few days, though I ended up stopping on day six after giving in to a salad. Though the pounds quickly dropped off, I craved real food! I can attest that the lemonade drink made from organic lemon juice, organic maple syrup, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and filtered water actually tasted rather yummy. I just wanted more substance in my diet and didn't have the motivation to complete the full ten days. But don't let my abruptness dissuade you, if you want to lose weight quickly and easily, the Master Cleanse diet may be a fantastic option to consider!
#2 A Raw Diet Is A Healthy Way To Drop Those Unwanted Pounds.
When you cook food items like vegetables, the heat can destroy the food's nutritional properties. When you sear some tasty vegetables, you may think you are eating healthy. Though you may be eating nutritious food, there are plenty healthful benefits that you might be missing out on. The Raw Food Diet is the healthiest weight loss program that combines unprocessed, organic, and uncooked vegetables and fruits, as well as grains and raw eggs or meat in some cases.
I have completed two weeks of this program for weight loss and I definitely noticed that my clothes were fitting significantly looser. My energy levels soared through the ceiling and I relished how my time in the kitchen was cut entirely in half. I consumed delicious smoothies and enjoyed munching a variety of fresh vegetables. This diet truly made me appreciate the simplicity and natural flavor of foods. Whether you are a vegan or a meat eater, the Raw Food Diet is painless to adopt and can seriously impact both your weight and health.
#3 The Ketogenic Diet Is A Guilt Free Way To Lose Weight.
Are you absolutely fed up with food restrictions? Having to reduce and regulate the amount of food you consume in a day is not only a challenge, but it can induce hunger and diminish the motivation to stick to whatever diet you are attempting to follow. If you want to eat as much as you desire while drastically losing weight, the Ketogenic Diet is not only appropriate, but is one of the most effective weight loss programs.
All you have to do is cut out carbohydrates from your meals. Consuming primarily healthy fats and moderate protein tricks your body into a starvation-like mode. Instead of functioning on the glucose that comes from digested carbohydrates, the body begins to use its own stored fat for energy. The hardest part of this fat loss weight program? You have to retrain your brain and allow yourself the pleasure of eating once thought prohibited foods like bacon, full fat dressings, and all dairy products. Score! This diet is one of the preferred weight loss programs for men as many bodybuilders eliminate carbs to aid in gaining lean muscle mass and a lower body fat percentage. Though you have to maintain attentiveness and keep a consistent record of the amount of carbohydrates in what you eat, I found this diet to be liberating, enjoyable, and impressive.
#4 You Can Completely Alter Your Cravings With the Fruit Flush Diet.
I cannot rant and rave about this program enough. Though I admittedly extended it two days past the three day plan, I couldn't believe how my unhealthy cravings disappeared for the following days to come. By using the Fruit Flush Diet, you allow your digestive system to take a much needed break from any harmful processed foods previously consumed. The first day a protein shake is sipped every two hours between 8am to 4pm. You can choose your dinner, consisting of either half an avocado paired with a small portion of lean protein or a light and raw salad. The following two days you are instructed to consume scheduled one hundred calorie servings of fruit every two hours. You later eat the same dinner each evening as that of day one.
Unfortunately besides the protein shakes on day one, you are prohibited from drinking anything other than water throughout the diet plan. You cannot even have a cup of coffee in the morning! You are also barred from using any form of sweetener, seasonings, or cooking oils besides flaxseed or olive oil. All restrictions aside, the Fruit Flush Diet only lasts for three days!
You can easily kick bad food habits and will even start to crave wholesome cuisine. The diet claims you can lose up to nine pounds, I lost a significant amount of weight and felt completely rejuvenated. Note of advice, the biggest mistake anyone can make after the completion of a lose weight program is to revert to previous eating habits. If you lose weight after putting yourself through a diet and immediately consume unhealthy foods thereafter, you negate the progress achieved. We don't want to take two steps backward and be smothered by guilt, so put down the cookies and keep trekking ahead!
#5 The Baby Food Diet Is Not My Favorite Program To Lose Weight, But It Sure Did Wonders!
We all remember the insane antics that wrestlers in high school took part in, just to make their weight class. Many would chew gum to stimulate salvation and spit in a cup throughout class in order to lose as much water weight as possible. I can also recall watching a wrestler or two eat from a tiny baby food jar in the middle of class. Curious as to the reasoning behind consuming baby food, as an adult I researched this "diet" online and gave it a go.
The Baby Food Diet has to be the most radical programs I have ever tried. The logic behind this diet is ultimately weight loss or the maintenance of previous weight loss by calorie restriction and portion control. Many of us have difficulty consuming moderate portions of food within our meals. This program can completely change what you believe to be an adequate amount of food during meals.
Take one or two meals and replace them with several baby food jars of any flavor. The texture and taste of baby food can be difficult to stomach, but after finding what is palatable, the Baby Food Diet helps to balance and maintain the amount of food your body requires to function. Once I became accustomed to eating baby food for my breakfast and lunch, I began to look forward to a balanced dinner, and I even found myself becoming satisfied by a smaller portion than I was used to. This diet can become expensive, and I sincerely applaud the mothers and fathers who afford this food source for their children. Though I could not continue the Baby Food Diet for longer than a week, I learned a valuable lesson of restraint and portion regulation.
#6 The French/Mediterranean Diet Is the Safest Weight Loss Program.
Ever wonder why French women stay thin or how Italians live so long? I believe the secret lies within their diets. The French and Mediterranean Diets are similar healthy weight loss programs that emphasize the consumption of fresh, quality foods. The meal portions are significantly smaller than American courses and both diets treat every course like an occasion, taking the time to fully savor each bite.
The Mediterranean Diet incorporates primarily plant based foods such as legumes, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. Olive oil is used for cooking and red meat is seldom consumed. Instead of utilizing salt for flavor, the Mediterranean Diet reduces the intake of sodium by relying on a variety of spices.
The French Diet is slightly more geared towards the category of weight loss programs for women. This is not to say that men cannot follow the diet plan, as I am currently testing its efficiency. I can happily report steady weight loss and a very satisfied pallet.
Both of these diets help you in developing a healthy relationship with food. If you treat food the way it deserves, it will love you back! Meals are shared and thoroughly savored with loved ones. You will learn to allow your brain and body enough time to become full satisfied from wholesome and fresh ingredients.
#7 Warning: Unless You Consume A Raw Or Natural Food, Mono Diets Are Not the Healthiest Way To Lose Weight.
Just like many of you, I am vulnerable to certain foods and sometimes, even if I have just a taste, I cannot stop myself from eating the entire volume! Though I will admit, I did lose a few pounds after completing a Mono Diet, the side effects were too much for me to handle.
A Mono Diet is the consumption of a single food item, containing few or a single ingredient. You are allowed to eat whenever and however much of the food as you desire but you cannot drink or eat anything else. This even includes chewing gum. I realize now that a vegetable or fruit would have been a much more wise choice, but I decided to complete two, separate three day Mono Diets of peanut butter and of chocolate.
By consuming a single food in excess, your body does not recognize it after a certain point. The food item then may not completely be digested. Many people report this diet to be similar to fasting, where one abstains from consuming any food at all. Though I lost inches off my waist, I could not help but feel this diet to be lacking in nutrition and health.
Regardless of a Mono Diet's faults, if you are extremely addicted to a particular food type, you might find that you no longer wish to consume it after the diet. Out of necessity, I ate so much peanut butter that I began feeling ridiculously nauseous at even the thought of putting another spoonful in my mouth! Any food is not exactly unhealthy if consumed in moderation. But if you seriously want to swear off chocolate, try a Mono Diet. It could really put food into perspective for you!
There Is No Shame In Getting Help To Lose Weight!
#8 Online Weight Loss Programs Are Beyond Convenient.
Sometimes it is difficult to follow a diet weight loss program without a little help. The internet is your friend, take advantage of this resource! There is an endless supply of smartphone apps that can help you track your calorie intake, as well as apps that give you exercises to follow. On the web, tons of programs are at your disposal.
Diet.com is a highly rated diet plan that provides you with fitness know-how, support from an enormous weight loss community, and many dietary resources. You can choose from a variety of diet plans and can track your fitness throughout your adventure. Diet.com offers sincere motivation and encouragement from an extremely supportive community.
Another online program is eDiets. Similarly to Diet.com, eDiets allows you the freedom to choose which diet you want. You can even customize a diet specific to your needs… with a small fee of course! eDiets may not be one of the free weight loss programs, but it definitely has helped a great deal of people.
#9 Why Not Seek Doctor Recommended Weight Loss Programs?
Consulting our doctors for nearly every lifestyle aspect is advice that has been drilled into our heads since we were kids. Guess what? This is actually valuable advice! Doctors are a walking encyclopedia of knowledge pertaining to our health and not only can they be a wonderful resource, they actually care and want to help us. By simply opening up a dialog with a medical professional, they can help determine a weight loss solution for you.
A great deal of doctors recommend Weight Watchers. This program for losing weight is genius because it secretly gears you towards healthier food choices. Without forbidding foods, Weight Watchers assigns a specific amount of points to each food item, and all you have to do is shoot for your targeted point amount determined by your personal goals. They offer extensive tracking and charting tools as well as exercise and recipe ideas. Weight Watchers is a prime example that safe weight loss programs exist and can alter your lifestyle for the better.
#10 Let Them Eat… Soup!
The Cabbage Soup Diet is older than time itself and if you have never tried it, take on this regimen! Known by many names such as the Sacred Memorial Hospital Diet or the Cleveland Clinic Diet, the Cabbage Soup Diet is one of the many medical weight loss programs. This diet plan was specifically created for overweight patients with a heart condition that needed to lose weight before an upcoming surgery. However, anyone can use this program. It is yet another potent program that I have taken part in.
This diet plan lasts only a week and has a specific food intake each day. You start off by making the soup using a recommended recipe of scrumptious ingredients like green peppers and stewed tomatoes. The first day you eat fruit excluding bananas and a portion of soup while the second day, vegetables and the cabbage soup are consumed. Each day has specific instructions as to which foods are to be avoided and which are welcomed. If you have seven days, and you want a simple and comforting program, experiment with the Cabbage Soup Diet and you might be pleasantly surprised by the results!
#11 Here Is A Shocker, Prepare Yourself: You Can Lose Weight With Exercise!
I wish so desperately that dieting was the only factor in losing weight. Unfortunately we cannot sit on the couch all day munching carrots and expect our bodies to miraculously shed unwanted pounds. By utilizing a weight loss exercise program, you can further and even speed up the rate at which you lose weight.
There are endless possibilities for exercise. Even a simple household task like vacuuming can count as a workout. The key is making an effort to move. Getting out of the house for a morning walk is a refreshing exercise that has minimal impact on your joints. Perhaps you want to be a little more committed? Why not join a gym! Whether you want to exercise in or out of the house, with or without equipment, there are three basic workout categories that you should consider for a weight reduction program: cardio, weightlifting, and resistance training.
Cardio is basically any exercise that increases your heart rate. Cardiovascular exercise strengthens muscles, your heart, your lungs, reduces stress levels, increases energy levels, and effectively burns fat. Bike, jog, or even hop in the pool for a swim and get that heart rate up!
Weightlifting is an excellent method of isolating different muscles in your body and strengthening them alongside your tendons, bone density, and connective tissues. Weights are not even necessary! You can use your own body's mass by performing workouts like pushups and squats. Resistance training on the other hand, allows you to work against opposing weight. By working against this resistance, you can increase both endurance and strength. The Plank exercise is a simple and all-over beneficial method of resistance training that enhances core strength and incorporates most muscle groups.
Don't Force Yourself To Settle- Finding the Right Program Specifically For You Will Bring You Closer To Your Weight Loss Goals.
The adventure of losing weight can be hard enough on its own. You deserve to reach your goals and settling on a disliked program that does not suit your individual needs will only hinder and waste any effort you put in. Why should you squander your precious time on simply good weight loss programs when you can instead find something that fits!
Selecting exercises and a weight loss diet program has never been easier as they are constantly growing in abundance and are well within your grasp. Once I figured this out after a lifetime of research and executing many trial and error experiments, the fact that I couldn't be the only one struggling to lose weight hit me like a rock. If I had found an article similar to what you are reading now, I wouldn't have felt so overwhelmed and discouraged.
But the real question is, have you enjoyed this article? Your thoughts are more than welcomed and appreciated in the comment section below! If you feel this article may have helped you in any small way, share it with someone that might similarly benefit! Weight loss is absolutely possible, you just need to find what works for you. After all, you sincerely deserve it!

"The purpose of education is to be informed so that you can then in fact turn around and impact." – David Banks
Responses to a recent reading challenge presented by entertainer, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson to boxer Floyd "Money" Mayweather, whether accurate in its assessment of the boxer's ability to read or not, reveals the extent to which many have allowed ourselves to place greater value on monetary success and fame than intellectual curiosity and reading comprehension. To that extent, studies show that in national tests more than 67 percent of all US fourth graders scored "below proficient," meaning they are not reading at grade level. * (Source: Students First) But do we send children to school to get good jobs, or to master their intellectual curiosity in ways that will shape the world in greater ways; or is it a combination of both? Most of all, how can we ensure the best outcomes?
Creating the next generation of informed innovators and agents of change is no small proposition. This month CEO and Founder of Eagle Academy, David Banks -who has advised Hillary Clinton and Cory Booker on scholastic issues – provides insight on the things men and fathers can do to ensure the best results as it relates to their children's education and future.

Seeing is Hearing – Doug Bauman
Behold what wonders I observed last night. Seeing and hearing brought several new dimensions to this experience. Listening to a live performance gave a magnificent dynamic range to my ears. Not only is this range greater in frequency, but subtle changes in volume, attenuated on a recording, are often intensified at Heinz Hall. Sounds not heard on the radio the night before, were easily detected and enjoyed. For instance, the beginning of the Mahler Symphony was so slight, that I did not hear it at all on the radio until it was well underway. Then came the three trumpet calls from well off stage. That was barely audible on the radio, easily heard and enjoyed at the concert.
Try this: go to a symphony concert and watch an individual instrument throughout a performance, see the sounds. Somehow our minds are able to focus, and seeing becomes hearing, as astonishing as this may seem. For instance, in the Titan Symphony, I watched the harp from time to time. The beautiful plucking was easy to perceive once my attention was so directed. Later, I would automatically know that sound, and know it was the harp, even without seeing anymore. This became a memory of the sounds and an association, perhaps a visual association, which stuck around and built upon my knowledge of the orchestra and individual instrumentation. Watch the string section. Their fluid rhythmic motions bring sweet harmony and melody alive. I'll hear their phrasings on one side, and pizzicato on the other, then sometimes reversed. Occasionally the principals will play a section of the score, their motions pronounced along with the music, accenting and drawing my attention. Seeing is hearing.
So many different instruments were used with the Adams composition and the Symphony. This amazing array and assortment is fascinating to peruse. If seeing is hearing, then it is also true that hearing is seeing. In the Adams: 'Short Ride in a Fast Machine' I am instantly hearing, then seeing the amazing score driven initially by a wood block making time. There were 2 flutes and piccolos, 2 oboes and English horns, 4 clarinets, 3 bassoons and contrabassoons, 4 horns, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, woodblock, triangle, xylophone, crotales, glockenspiel, suspended cymbal, sizzle cymbal, snare drum, pedal bass drum, large bass drum, large tam-tam, tambourine, 2 synthesizers, and strings. What fun it was to see and hear each of these being played in such a synchronized form, making the difficult seem like a breeze.
Again, in Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, I was able to see the music, only this time it was the soloist Joshua Bell that drove this point home. He made his red violin sing for joy, bringing it figuratively alive. The notes stored in his mind have become more than a simple sequence, but a fluid continuity of form brought out.
And finally, it was Maestro Honeck who epitomized the ultimate universal language of motion and form, conducting the entire whole of the symphony as if the sounds were emanating from the very tip of his baton, and merely reflecting through the musicians and amplified back to the audience, in a sublime metamorphosis which transcends temporal reality and enters the realm of the interminable. Come to the symphony, and see and hear for yourself!
One Response to "Seeing is Hearing – Doug Bauman"
What an interesting experiment, to listen to the performance on the radio and then attend and see the same works performed live by the same people. With music that ranges in dynamics like these did, you would expect to have a different perception of course, but experiencing it must bring it home.
I also like your idea of watching a performer and gaining an increased sense of their part. My mother and I talked after the concert about how much we preferred sitting up high, so we could see the percussion and horn sections. At the Butler County Symphony we often sit with friends very close up, and then we get a wonderful view of the violins and cellos up close, but we miss out on those in the back. We felt it was a worthwhile trade to get a full picture of everyone.

The New York Times today published the best, most comprehensive, most anger-inducing piece I have seen detailing the collective risk management failings that led to the Gulf oil spill. Clocking in at around 6,500 words, this thing is a doozy. But it is a report that everyone who wants to understand how this disaster really came to be needs to read.
The article focuses mainly on the failure of "blowout preventer," a device attached to every well drilled in order to, you guessed it, prevent blowouts. While immensely complex and huge — it's five stories tall and weighs hundreds of thousands of pounds — its purpose is to provide a shut-off method in case something goes wrong with the well.
Even more specifically, we get a wonderful lesson into the ultimate fail-safe: the "blind shear ram." There are many components within the blowout preventer that must operate properly to shut off a well, but the blind shear ram is the final device that ultimately seals the thing. If it fails, the whole thing fails.
And all evidence is pointing to the fact that, on the Deepwater Horizon, it failed.
The process to activate the blind shear ram and seal the pipe is complex, but according to this article, the risks associated with that complexity were well known by all the players in the drilling industry. And on the Deepwater rig, no one did all that much to mitigate that risk. In contrast, in other instances, other companies and other rigs adopted redundancy as a way to ensure that a well shut-off would not be compromised.
Weaknesses were understood inside the oil industry, documents and interviews show. And given the critical importance of the blind shear ram, offshore drillers began adding a layer of redundancy by equipping their blowout preventers with two blind shear rams.
By 2001, when Transocean, now the world's largest offshore drilling contractor, acquired the Deepwater Horizon, it had already begun equipping its new rigs with blowout preventers that could easily accommodate two blind shear rams.
Today, Transocean says 11 of its 14 rigs in the gulf have two blind shear rams. The company said the three rigs that do not were built before the Deepwater Horizon.
Likewise, every rig currently under contract with BP, which had been renting the Deepwater Horizon, comes with blowout preventers equipped with two blind shear rams, according to BP. While no guarantee against disaster, drilling experts said, two blind shear rams give an extra measure of reliability, especially if one shear ram hits on a joint connecting two drill pipes.
"It's kind of like a parachute — it's nice to have a backup," said Dan Albers, a drilling engineer who is part of an independent investigation of the disaster.
In short, there were known issues with the ultimate, industry-standard fail-safe measure to prevent this type of spill. And in many cases — even most of those cases involving rigs constructed by Transocean and operated by BP — those issues were recognized and managed. But on the Deepwater Horizon, the most common method of managing that risk (redundancy) was not implemented.
Read into that whatever you like.
In fairness to BP and Transocean (something that's hard to even try to provide anymore if I'm being honest), there is much, much, much, much, much more to all this. For example, the federal offshore drilling regulatory agency, the Minerals Management Service, knew all about these very same risks and never adequately ensured that any company do anything about them.
The federal agency charged with regulating offshore drilling, the Minerals Management Service, repeatedly declined to act on advice from its own experts on how it could minimize the risk of a blind shear ram failure…Even in one significant instance where the Minerals Management Service did act, it appears to have neglected to enforce a rule that required oil companies to submit proof that their blind shear rams would in fact work.
There is also ton of evidence that blowout preventers and blind shear rams — inherently — aren't that great at stopping a well on an industrywide basis.
Using the world's most authoritative database of oil rig accidents, a Norwegian company, Det Norske Veritas, focused on some 15,000 wells drilled off North America and in the North Sea from 1980 to 2006. It found 11 cases where crews on deepwater rigs had lost control of their wells and then activated blowout preventers to prevent a spill. In only six of those cases were the wells brought under control, leading the researchers to conclude that in actual practice, blowout preventers used by deepwater rigs had a "failure" rate of 45 percent.
Plus, there's this:
More than three decades ago, the failure of a shear ram was partly to blame for one of the largest oil spills on record, a blowout at the Ixtoc 1 well off the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Descriptions of the accident at the time detailed problems both with the shear ram's ability to cut through thick pipe and with a burst line carrying hydraulic fluids to the blowout preventer.
In 1990, a blind shear ram could not snuff out a major blowout on a rig off Texas. It cut the pipe, but investigators found that the sealing mechanism was damaged. And in 1997, a blind shear ram was unable to slice through a thick joint connecting two sections of drill pipe during a blowout of a deep oil and gas well off the Louisiana coast.
Honestly, I could excerpt this whole article. It details so many instances where so many industry players did so little to solve the so very well known risks of drilling.
So infuriating.
So … really, you should just go read it in full. Additionally, here is the accompanying Times video that helps explain what exactly a blind shear ram is and how it works — in theory, of course.

U.S. judge approves but critiques SEC's 'phantom' deal with bank
By Nate Raymond
NEW YORK, Sept 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday won approval of a settlement with failed Cayman Islands-based Caledonian Bank Ltd, despite criticism by a federal judge of the regulator's handling of the case and of the accord itself.
U.S. District Judge William Pauley in Manhattan questioned whether the SEC's $25 million settlement with Caledonian was in the public's interest, given that the regulator had turned that sum into a "phantom judgment" by waiving payment.
Pauley, who has previously scolded the SEC for blunders that triggered the bank's collapse in February 2015, said the settlement "raises many questions," including how victims would benefit from the non-monetary accord.
But Pauley noted the ability of judges to block regulatory settlements was narrowed in 2014, when an appeals court voided a judge's rejection of a $285 million accord between the SEC and Citigroup Inc.
"For better or worse, the public's interest in 'knowing the truth' behind a litigation is not to be considered to evaluate the decree," Pauley wrote.
Neither the SEC nor Caledonian's lawyer responded immediately to requests for comment.
The SEC in 2015 sued Caledonian and three broker-dealers in Belize and Panama, accusing them of offering and selling unregistered penny stocks to investors through several "pump-and-dump" schemes.
The SEC obtained an order freezing their assets, resulting in nearly $76.7 million in Caledonian's U.S.-based accounts being frozen. Continuación...

Boston Housing Court
The following is a compilation of some useful information about the Boston Housing Court. Potential litigants may also be interested my overview of summary process evictions, which applies to all of the housing courts in Massachusetts, and which is also posted to Avvo.
General information about the Courthouse The Boston Housing Court is in the Edward W. Brooke courthouse at 24 New Chardon St. in Boston. You will need to pass through security so avoid bringing any weapons or other items that might slow you down at the metal detectors (cellphones ARE allowed, but be sure to turn off the ringer before you enter the courtrooms or they will be confiscated until the end of the day). Once inside, the clerk's office for housing is on the third floor – staff there are very helpful and can answer questions about procedures as well provide forms for litigants to file with the court. The housing courtrooms are on the fifth floor – courtrooms 14, 15, and sometimes 16. There is a snack bar on the first floor of the courthouse and bathrooms are located on each floor by the elevators.
Thursday – Summary Process Evictions The Boston Housing Court hears summary process eviction cases on Thursdays and there are generally between 150 and 250 such cases scheduled each week. While this sounds like a lot, the system is actually fairly efficient at getting through all of them by the end of the day. On Thursdays, litigants should plan to arrive early at the courthouse as the line to get through security can be long. All of the housing cases are heard in courtrooms 14 and 15 (and sometimes 16) on the fifth floor. All of the notices sent to litigants regarding summary process cases say to go to courtroom 15, however when you arrive, you should check in with the court staff at the table outside of courtroom 14 and they will assign you either to courtroom 14 or courtroom 15. At around 9:30, litigants should go into their assigned courtroom where they will hear an overview of the evictions process from a judge followed by the call of the case list by the clerk. At this point, each case will be assigned either to a judge or to mediation. The term "mediation" is used loosely as it can include informal negotiations in the hallway or formal mediation with a housing specialist on the third floor. Note that there are tables outside of courtrooms 14 and 15 that are staffed by volunteer attorneys on Wednesdays and Thursdays. These attorneys can often provide free advice to litigants at the housing court and may sometimes provide additional legal assistance to low-income individuals.
Wednesday – Boston Housing Authority evictions and other motions BHA cases are generally scheduled for Wednesdays. The procedure is the same as that described above except that there are no court staff outside of courtroom 14 since there are many fewer cases scheduled. Instead, you should go into courtroom 15 where the clerk will call the list of cases at around 9:30AM.

Many articles have been written on conflicts of interests (COIs) in fields such as medicine, business, politics, public service and education. With the growing abundance of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), often involving complex relationships among the partners, it is important to understand how COIs can be mitigated and managed in PPPs.
We wanted to study PPPs, particularly in the areas of global health and agriculture, but discovered no single source of information available to identify and compare various approaches for avoiding and managing COIs in PPPs. This is a significant gap, especially for those wishing to study, compare and strengthen existing COI policies related to PPPs. In order to bridge this gap, we reviewed how PPPs currently address COIs and highlight what might be considered good practice in developing COI policies. We reviewed the online COI policies of 10 PPPs in global health and agriculture, and interviewed two global health PPP chief executives.
Based on our review of policies and interviews, we conclude that there exists a range of good practices including attention to accountability and governance, acknowledgement and disclosure, abstention and withdrawal, reporting and transparency, and independent monitoring. There appears to be a need for PPPs to interact closely and learn from each other on these parameters and to also place more emphasis on independent external monitoring of COIs as a means of strengthening their major social objectives on which their activities are largely predicated. We also recommend the establishment of a web based database, which would serve as a forum to discuss COI issues and how they can be resolved.
Conflicts of interest (COIs) have been defined as involving a "set of conditions in which professional judgments concerning a primary interest (such as a patient's welfare or validity of research) tends to be unduly influenced by a secondary interest (such as financial gain)" [1]. COIs can pertain to individuals or entire institutions, and can be financial or non-financial. Much has been written on COIs in fields such as medicine, business, politics, public service, and education. However, little if any guidance has been provided on the methods for managing COIs within the Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) operating in global health and agriculture. Since partnerships between public (by which we mean non profit) and private (by which we mean for profit) organizations will invariably raise issues of COI, the recognition and management of these COIs is critical to the existence of these partnerships.
There are many PPPs operating in health and agriculture. Product Development PPPs (PD-PPPs) like the Medicines for Malaria Venture or the TB Alliance, assist in the development of novel health products to tackle diseases in the developing world. Access PPPs, such as The Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) or the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), have the goal of improving access to treatments by providing funding mechanisms for purchase of existing drugs or vaccines. Similarly, PPPs, which operate in the field of agriculture like the Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), African Agricultural Technology (AATF), International Potato Centre (CIP) and Bioversity International (BI) work to develop, through research, novel seedlings and agricultural practices to alleviate hunger and improve farming practices in different parts of the world. The dozens of PPPs working in these fields include "small single product collaborators with industry to large entities hosted in UN agencies of private not-for-profit organizations" [2-5].
Usually, these partnerships are created because the private and public sector partners realize their inability to single-handedly solve the multifaceted problems confronting society. However, there is also the notion that private companies, especially in the healthcare sector, where many PD-PPPs and Access PPPs operate, participate in PPPs, in order to seek "future profits or markets or to control the agenda of international agencies" [6,7]. With billions of dollars flowing through PPPs aiming to improve the health of the global poor or to alleviate hunger through the development of new farming techniques, there is a lot at stake if these primary interests were to be undermined or even seen to be undermined. This is especially true since the trust existing among the partners in a multi-stakeholder organization is a key component of its activities, which enables it to function. The existence of trust among the partners helps to accentuate their sense of commitment to the achievement of the aims and objectives of the PPP and this also helps to facilitate the effective implementation of any COI policy within the organization.
To examine how PPPs address COIs, we reviewed the websites of PPPs which are active in global health and agriculture to describe the suggested practices and guidance contained in their COI policies and in some cases requested these policies (see Table Table1).1). We also examined their websites and interviewed the chief executives of the Human Hookworm Vaccine Initiative of the Sabin Vaccine Institute (Sabin-HHVI) and PATH. Our objective was to understand in depth how PPPs currently address COIs. Given the heterogeneity, this was not a comprehensive survey of every PPP, but rather an attempt to highlight actual practices.
These findings will be of interest to the public and private stakeholders who are involved in PPPs in global health and agriculture, as well as the broader global health and agriculture communities who rely on these organizations for novel products and improved access.
Accountability is at the core of every conflict of interest. Dennis Thompson, who has written extensively on conflicts of interest, argues that accountability encompasses reliance on the good character and by extension, good judgment of the decision marker(s), regulation by a professional body, regulation by government(s) through legislation, and finally, a disclosure of conflicting interests. To ensure accountability, PPPs have boards that supervise their activities. Board members are expected to be individuals who epitomize integrity and who would put the aims and objectives of the organization uppermost in their minds when making decisions, which could affect the success of the PPP. This standard of decision making is expected even when there are other competing interests, which may influence or affect the decision-making progress of the organization.
For example, Sabin-HHVI is a health PD-PPP based at the Sabin Vaccine Institute (SABIN). SABIN is affiliated with the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Tropical Medicine of George Washington University (GWU) and uses the laboratories there to conduct research into the development of vaccines for hookworm and other neglected tropic diseases. The President of SABIN-HHVI is also the chairperson of the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Tropic Medicine at GWU. During our discussion with the President of SABIN-HHVI, we learned that to prevent any potential COI, two meetings are held annually between representatives of SABIN and GWU in order to review potential or perceived conflicts, and in addition SABI-HHVI employs the services of an attorney from their board to help manage COI issues which might arise.
The acknowledgement of the possibility of conflicts of interest was present in all policies we reviewed. These policies are available on the websites of the PPPs. The CEOs of HHVI and GAVI, whom we interviewed, both agreed that as multi-stakeholder organizations, conflicts of interest within PPPs are sometimes inevitable and this should be acknowledged. We also discovered that PPPs must not only be alert to actual conflicts of interest but also to perceived ones, since these too can undermine trust amongst the stakeholders in a PPP.
We can illustrate this point with the example of PATH, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the development of appropriate health technologies and which is closely associated with multiple PD-PPPs with over 60 companies. During our review of PATH's COI policy [8], we found out that an annual disclosure of COI is mandatory for board members and employees in Finance, Legal Affairs, Procurement and program staff in a position to meaningfully influence the structure or details of any particular public-private partnership. These employees are also required to fill out disclosure forms annually in a bid to identify and address individual conflict of interests. For instance, through this procedure, PATH employees who own stock in companies where PATH is involved in a business or financial relationship are expected to disclose such holdings.
The PATH "Guiding Principles" document provides definitions for concepts such as bias and conflict of interest, and discusses issues of actual and perceived conflicts of interest, individual and institutional conflicts of interest, as well as the direct and predictable effects of conflicts of interest. The "Guiding Principles" document for managing COIs is divided into three parts, namely, "our values", "our responsibilities" and "our actions". In the second section, "our responsibilities", PATH acknowledges that there might be occasions when some measure of bias, inherent in its activities as a non-profit organization, might precipitate individual or institutional conflicts of interest. When such situations occur, the guiding principles stipulate immediate individual or institutional acknowledgement. The concepts of "Disclosure" as well as "Reporting and Transparency", which are also discussed below, are closely aligned with "Acknowledgement of Possibility of Conflict of Interest".
For a PD-PPP like the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV), disclosure of potential conflict of interest is an actual part of the employee's contract. Employees must sign conflict of interest declaration forms, which spell out perceived or potential, as well as real, sources of conflicts. With an organization like GAVI, as with many others, a conflict of interest arises when the personal or professional interests of an employee or board member, or indeed of its partners, are at odds with the best interests of the organization. In order to successfully pursue this policy, GAVI also applies specific COI policies to its different partners [9]. For example, representatives of GAVI and partners like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF) are required to complete a COI disclosure form when executing contracts or participating in meetings where decisions for the procurement of drugs and vaccines are being taken [9]. For the Global Fund (GF), a COI arises when a "covered individual", that is someone who works directly with GF or is associated with GF, participates personally in taking decisions on any matter which affects GF and from which he or she might benefit. When this happens, GF expects all covered individuals to disclose the existence of any such conflict and the nature of such conflict. Secondly, all covered individuals must complete and submit a "Declaration of Interest" statement, which must be updated annually to GF's Ethics and Conflict of Interest Committee [10].
The COI policies of several PPPs, operating within the field of agricultural biotechnology like the Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), African Agricultural Technology (AATF), Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), International Potato Centre (CIP) and Bioversity International (BI), which all receive funding from the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) state that apart from disclosing any conflicts of interest, individuals working for these organizations could elect to recuse themselves when decisions are taken on issues or organizations in which they have a secondary interest.
The IITA and CGIAR COI policies stipulate that board members are expected to formally declare their connection with any organization that would benefit from the organization's funding and withdraw from any decision that would be taken about matters concerning such a beneficiary [11,12].
Most of the PPPs that we surveyed require their employees to undergo periodic training on how to identify and avoid or manage COIs. The PATH COI policy talks about PATH's responsibility to train its staff to recognize conflict of interest situations as well as subject itself to internal and external monitoring to prevent conflicts of interest within the organization. The policy also indicates that the process of minimizing conflicts of interest must begin with the development of a mechanism to balance the conflicting interests of the parties involved in the partnership.
Beyond disclosure of a COI internally, some policies also featured public transparency of such COIs and ways to stimulate reporting of COI. For example, CIMMYT's COI guidelines emphasizes that a COI issue must be dealt with in an open and transparent manner that would not compromise the integrity and credibility of the organization [13]. Biodiversity International has a whistle blower policy, which actually encourages employees to secretly report instances of wrongdoing, which include COI by colleagues [14]. In the case of Global Fund, reports of COI occurrences are posted on its website.
Relatively few of the organizations use independent, external monitoring of COI, though there are some exceptions. The GAVI secretariat uses consultants who examine every potential COI with regards to procurement. The International Potato Centre uses a two tier external and internal review system to monitor all decisions and to prevent COI. The COI policies of several of the PPPs that we have reviewed rely on external monitors to assist in the prevention and detection of potential COIs. External monitoring is an effective way of continuing to reinforce trust among the partners of a multi-stakeholder organization; it helps to maintain an organization's ethical commitments. Though monitoring can be done internally or externally, external monitoring has the advantage of providing an independent and unbiased evaluation. An analogy here is financial auditing: an external financial audit offers an independent view on the finances of an organization and thereby serves to enhance the trustworthiness of the annual financial report. An organization that adopts a social auditing system of ethical and social monitoring and reporting can do so for a single domain (like conflict of interest). However, a more comprehensive, multifaceted approach to monitoring that involves all the activities that the organization is involved in might be more effective.
Managing COIs is a critical governance and management function for PPPs. Based on our review of COI policies and the interviews that we conducted, a range of good practices was found. These included attention to accountability and governance, acknowledgement and disclosure of COIs, abstention and withdrawal from decision-making when a COI is present, reporting and transparency with respect to COIs, and independent monitoring.
One area that could perhaps use more focus, since it is at the frontier of the various approaches, is the use of external, independent monitoring. Though some PPPs have employed the services of external monitors to provide guidance and assistance on COI issues, these monitors are not usually fully cognizant of the activities of these PPPs, a situation which compromises the integrity of the external monitoring system. Most external monitors are called in to provide advice on conflicts after it has already occurred. Thus, in order to protect these PPPs, there may be a need to better manage COIs through integrating the services of 'an outside non-conflicted party' [15]. This outside non-conflicted party, (external monitor) could help to scrutinize, mitigate, and provide comprehensive guidance on ethical, social, cultural and commercialization issues by undertaking periodic assessments, while working alongside the team itself, by helping to assess policies and decisions and give objective advice throughout the partnership's progress. (Of course, the external monitor should not be doing other work for the organization that might seem to be dependent on the outcome of the monitoring.) We believe that this kind of system is a good way to help mitigate COIs within almost every area of activity in PPPs. In our work with an agriculture PPP, we conducted an external social audit [16].
It could be fruitful for PPPs to learn from each other on management of COI, and to move down the spectrum of policies and practices identified here towards independent monitoring of COIs. It might also be useful for this independent monitoring to extend beyond COI to other social objectives of the partnership.

But the most breathtaking scene is the one no one seems to notice…
Perhaps it is because we have our head in the clouds…so far above the surface of everyday life that we can look down and see what is happening…
..or perhaps because you have to be a connoisseur of absurdity to appreciate it…
..strange…bizarre…almost surreal…even when you see it, you don't quite believe it…
First, the voters ruined themselves…now it's the government's turn!
The US federal government is digging its own grave…bankrupting itself with its eyes wide shut. And it's not alone…
Look back a little more than 100 years ago, and you'll see that something similar happened. Europe went to war. No one knew why. No one knew what he stood to gain. But whether he was a kraut, a frog or a Tommy…he kept at it for four years – until every major government of Europe was broke. Most of them collapsed completely. All of them were broke. Germany and Russia, with the added burdens of war reparations on the one hand, and Bolshevism and civil war on the other, forgot their manners. Both were soon butchering their own people.
In the Great War the generals led the way to calamity. Now it is economists…
Some observers think the economy is recovering already. Others think it is not. If it is not recovering, it is because it didn't get enough stimulus, they say. If it is recovering, it's because the stimulus has worked.
"Fewer layoffs expected as recession winds down," says a headline this morning from one of the wire services.
The Dow fell 25 points yesterday…but it's still in bear market rally mode. With a little luck, it could go to 10,500.
(Of course, it can do whatever it wants…we're just guessing, based on the experience of other major crash/depression episodes in history.)
Oil trades at just under $72 this morning. Gold is at $960.
It is "business as usual at Goldman," says a news report. Which is to say, big bonuses for the bankers. The top eight US banks got more than $170 in bailout money last year. They paid about 20% out in bonuses.
But now the press and the politicians are on their case. It looks like they might have to ease up on the bonuses…at least until the heat is off.
The news is mixed. German factory orders are up…but the Bank of England says the recession is worse than expected; it says it will continue buying bonds.
Americans are raising chickens in their backyards again…even in places like Brooklyn. But the latest headlines tell us that requests for unemployment benefits are running below expectations.
The housing market is supposed to be stabilizing…but new waves of defaults, resets and foreclosures are coming. Half America's mortgages will be underwater by 2011, says a Reuters report. And Deutschebank warned that construction loans were starting to go bad too.
But the big story? Stimulus!
Here is the International Herald Tribune on Monday:
"More Stimulus is Needed to Spark a Strong Recovery," is the headline. According to the IHT, stimulus is working. And it will work even better if there were more of it.
Once underway, the WWI generals used the same sort of logic. If they were winning, it was because they put so many resources into the campaign. If things were going against them, they called for more men…more guns…more ammunition.
Of course, once a war has begun, it is hard not to want to win it. One hundred years later, it seems obvious the combatants should have called the whole thing off. They could have spared themselves a lot of misery.
But that's not the way history works. She may be absurd, but she rarely does things by half measures. Once called to action, soldiers fought to win…even at the cost of their own lives.
And now the world's central banks, Treasuries, and legislatures are at war. With economic strategists egging them on, they have declared war on all that they find unholy about capitalism – deflation, bear markets, and the down swing of the business cycle. John Maynard Keynes, that much-revered strategist from the Depression Era, tells them this is a fight they can win. And they believe it!
Of course, these are the same people who saw nothing to worry about in 2006…the same people who have no idea what is going on – and have the track record to prove it!
Can you really fix a debt-saturated economy by pouring on more debt? We know the answer, don't we? When you borrow money you take something away from the future and bring it into the present. That is not a bad thing…if you are doing it to increase your future output. In that case, you'll be able to pay back the loan with your extra earnings. But if you borrow from the future only to consume, the future waits for you…like Shylock waiting for his pound of flesh…
The future caught up with American consumers in 2007. But the feds learned nothing…and soon it will be a ton of flesh the future will want.

Akeem Dent LB FA 9 months ago
Dent has been cleared from the league's concussion protocol.
EDGE Analysis
Dent will be available for Week 1 against the Bears. He'll back up at inside linebacker, giving Brian Cushing and/or Benardrick McKinney a breather.
Akeem Dent LB FA 9 months ago
Dent (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday but is still in NFL's concussion protocol, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dent suffered the concussion in the team's preseason finale, and while it looks like he is on his way to being medically cleared by practicing, he will still need to clear protocol before he can see the field.
Akeem Dent LB FA 10 months ago
Dent was shaken up in Thursday's preseason finale against the Cowboys and has entered the NFL's mandatory concussion protocol, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dent is a depth player at inside linebacker, but will need to pass a baseline neurological exam before he can be medically cleared to return to practice.
Akeem Dent LB FA 2 years ago
Dent will start Week 1 against the Chiefs, replacing the injured Mike Mohamed (calf), the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dent, who was signed to a two-year deal in the offseason, started seven games in 2014 and is quite familiar with the defense.
Akeem Dent LB FA 2 years ago
Dent re-signed with the Texans on Tuesday, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
While Dent has started 27 games over the last three years, he has never recorded more than 42 tackles or 1.5 sacks in a single season. He'll provide depth at inside linebacker but probably won't enter training camp as a projected starter.
Akeem Dent LB FA 3 years ago
Dent (wrist) started at inside linebacker in place of the inactive Brian Cushing (knee) in Sunday's win over the Titans. He finished with four tackles.
Both Dent and Mike Mohamed (10 tackles) got increased playing time as the Houston defense was without its signal caller for the day.
Akeem Dent LB FA 3 years ago
Texans acquired ILB Akeem Dent from the Falcons in exchange for QB T.J. Yates.
Dent, 26, started seven games for the Falcons at middle linebacker before being benched after Week 10 and playing just six more defensive snaps over the season's final two months. He was a plus run defender as a 13-game starter in 2012, but he can't cover at all. In Houston, the Texans are looking for a running mate at inside 'backer to pair with Brian Cushing. Brooks Reed may be asked to convert from outside linebacker to the inside, but if the transition doesn't go as smoothly, Dent has starting experience and can play early downs.
Akeem Dent LB FA 3 years ago
Updating a previous item, Falcons LB Akeem Dent won't need offseason ankle surgery.
Dent was initially expected to need a "clean out" procedure. He got a second opinion this week, and it was determined rest and rehab should do the trick. Dent lost his starting job as the Falcons middle linebacker this past season to Paul Worrilow and will contribute as a reserve and on special teams in 2014.
Akeem Dent LB FA 3 years ago
Falcons LB Akeem Dent is expected to undergo an offseason "cleanout" procedure on his ankle.
He's currently getting a second opinion. Dent lost his starting job to undrafted rookie MLB Paul Worrilow in 2013, and finished with 51 tackles after registering 65 as a 13-game starter in 2012. He's likely to return to Atlanta on a cheap $725,000 base salary, but has no value in Dynasty IDP leagues.
Akeem Dent LB FA 4 years ago
Falcons MLB Akeem Dent (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 5.
Being ruled out four days in advance of Monday night's tilt with the Jets is a sign Dent has a high-ankle sprain. The hits just keep on coming for the Falcons, who will likely be forced to go with journeyman Omar Gaither in Dent's absence.
