Beach Access Controversy | Who Owns the Beach?
One steamy July day, not long after he'd moved to Goose Rocks, Harris was wrapping up the morning when his teenage stepson burst into the house and related how he and his girlfriend had been asked to move off the beach. The complaint, he said, had come from a woman on the beach behind a home owned by Barbara Rencurrel. Even though Rencurrel had a history of carefully guarding the sands between her home and the water, Harris was incensed. "Not on my watch," he told his son, and he grabbed his towel and Frisbee.
"In New England there's this idea that private property is sacred and it's yours to do with you as you wish," he told me. "I don't disagree with that in its purest form, but when it becomes part of a larger entity, like a waterfall or a beach, you're talking about something unique. This is an important thing to everyone. It should be available for all the public."
But beach law can be a confounding thing. And as Ned Coll discovered, in New England, a region steeped deeply in the values around private property, it's a particularly divisive issue. Even in the 1970s, as other states, such as Oregon, Hawaii, Texas, and Florida, opened up their coastlines to the public, New England budged very little.
Maine is especially conservative. Maine and Massachusetts are two of only four coastal states in the country that permit ownership down to the low-tide mark. They also share something else: a 1647 Colonial ordinance, crafted when the two were still joined together, which restricts use within the intertidal zone to three specific activities: "fishing, fowling, and navigation." Even in the wake of a tourist boom that's enveloped beach communities over the last half-century, Maine has strayed little from a strict interpretation of that wording. The effect of the law is a curious one, allowing strangers to, for example, carry fishing poles and shotguns onto private property, but not towels or sunscreen.
Harris was only vaguely familiar with Maine beach law as he marched to the sand on that July day. Motivated by a lifetime spent living in oceanside communities where public access is more accommodating, he stood directly in front of the Rencurrel home, playing a game of catch with himself, throwing his Frisbee into the wind so that it came sailing back to him.
Within minutes, he says, Rencurrel's daughter, Leslie Josselyn-Rose, came down to the beach and asked him to move. The conversation was courteous, but the back-and-forth lasted a good 10 minutes before Harris finally headed home. (Josselyn-Rose says that the person who confronted Harris's stepson was neither she nor her mother.) Over the next dozen years, more confrontations followed, all of them between Harris and Rencurrel. He'd come down on his lunch break and sit on a beach chair. Sometimes the two would exchange words; other times, when Harris was in the water, Rencurrel would leave him a highlighted copy of Maine beach law.
"Most people were very gracious when I asked them to leave," says Rencurrel, a widow and former Kennebunkport selectman, whose family has owned property in Goose Rocks since the 1940s. "But Mic was the only one who caused any problems."
Things finally came to a head on a late August afternoon in 2005 after Rencurrel called the police. When the two officers arrived, Harris, who was sitting with friends, stood up and calmly defended his position, telling the officers that he believed the beach should be open to the public. He phoned his wife. "There's a chance I might be arrested," he told her. Within minutes she was at her husband's side with 15 friends for support.
It was hardly a protest, and Harris eventually went home, but it proved to be a touchstone for the community. For the town, the incident forced officials to re-evaluate their position on the beach; they finally concluded that a century of public use had granted it a prescriptive easement over all of it. For the oceanfront owners, the clash between Rencurrel and Harris, and the town's subsequent unwillingness to defend Rencurrel's property rights, galvanized them into action. They held regular meetings, elected a leadership committee, and hired Sidney "Pete" Thaxter, an experienced attorney out of Portland who has spent more than two decades arguing for and representing property owners in beach-law cases. After rounds of talks and stalled mediation sessions with the town, the property owners filed their lawsuit against Kennebunkport in late October 2009.
Harris wasn't done, either. When he learned about the case, he took his protest in a different direction. In a community where summer rental income is vital, and access to the beach is vital to that income, Harris feared that the town might strike quickly and settle for a deal that would undermine the residents. He knocked on his neighbors' doors and asked for financial help to launch a new entity called Save Our Beaches (SOB), which would inform people about the case and rally support for the town.
Within a month he had $5,000, and over the next few years the group rallied the community with bake sales and concerts, as well as sponsored lectures about beach rights. At the height of summer, in the yards of backlot properties, up to 500 signs supporting SOB sprouted up like grass. Then, in the spring of 2010, in the face of a still-sputtering economy, Kennebunkport voters backed a proposal to set aside $250,000 for the lawsuit. (Over the next two years, an additional $550,000 was also approved.)
"It's like that movie, It's a Wonderful Life," Harris says. "It could have been Pottersville if the town had just rolled over. There are people on the other side I've been friends with, but I can't fraternize with them anymore. It doesn't seem right to be friends and act like nothing has happened. They're not suing an anonymous community."
Robert Almeder doesn't pretend that he is. If it was Rencurrel who first helped corral oceanfront owners, it was Almeder who steered the group once the issues with the town had deepened. Tall, with thinning white hair, Almeder, a retired professor of philosophy, lives with his wife, Virginia, year-round on the western edge of Goose Rocks, a couple of hundred yards from where I first saw those college kids throwing a football.
The Almeders discovered the area in the late 1970s. They owned a summer place in Rye Beach, New Hampshire, and one day drove to Maine and stumbled upon Goose Rocks. They were drawn to its quiet pace and its lack of traffic–attributes that seemed to be missing from their New Hampshire place. That same day, they looked at a rundown beachfront home that had just come on the market. With their two young girls, the Almeders went for a swim. The beach was empty, birds were flying overhead, and by the time they were drying off, the couple had decided to buy the home.

"A Part of my Past, Present, and Future." Livermore by TouristOne
Livermore Travel Guide: 52 reviews and 169 photos
A big part of my life will forever belong to Livermore. Many of life's experiences, be them good, be them bad, I experienced here. This is where I grew up, and where I still spend much of my time--about three months per year--on-and-off. Much of my reletives live here and in the surrounding area. While here, I spend time with family, friends and old aquantences. Also, I make it a point to go some place new in the area everytime I visit, yet I find myself frequenting places from my past, revisiting the past is inescapeable.....familiar faces, familiar places. But regardless, where ever I go in this world, whatever I am to become.....Livermore will always be in my heart, close to home.
Livermore was founded by William Mendenhall in 1869, but named after Robert Livermore who married Josefa Higuera Molina in 1838. They made their home Rancho Las Positas which was big part of the present day city. Livermore's history makes it that of an agricultural community, with many ranches and vineyards which still flourish today. It is also one of the most desirable citys of America to live.

The study of past society in terms of what it "consumes" rather than what it "produces" is a relatively new development. The focus on consumption changes the entire emphasis of historical enquiry, amounting to a new description of a past culture as perceived through its patterns of consumption in goods and services. Under the direction of Professor John Brewer, the Clark Library of Los Angeles has created an ambitious international programme to present the material culture of the European eighteenth century. A programme which calls upon the methods and techniques of many other disciplines - archaeology, sociology, anthropology and art criticism to name but a few. "Consumption and the World of Goods" is the first of three volumes to examine history from this perspective, and is a collaboration between 26 of the leading subject specialists from Europe and North America. The result is a transformed presentation of the European eighteenth century.

1st off the reserve/future contracts.
I believe the entire practice squad will be signed, either soon, or by the time I publish this.
I believe Mike Iupati's 2014 base will increase by $2.935M due to play time, and pro bowl
I also believe Alex Boone's 2014 base will increase by $1.05M for play time
And lastly I belive Ahmad Brooks deal will decrease by $1.6M for failing to reach 12 sacks.
We have, currently without these moves, $8,616,992 in cap room.
After these moves, we have $6,231,992 in cap room now.
Carlos Rogers - Saves $5,105,469
Jon Baldwin- Saves $1,377,765
Now we have around $12,715,226 in cap room.
Now we tender Michael Wilhoite at a 1-year $570,000 Exclusive Rights Tender.
We re-sign WR Kassim Osgood(Probably the easiest signing) to a 1-year $1.005M deal. Deal includes a $50K signing bonus, and a $955K base, but only counts $620,000 against the cap due to the minimum salary benefit program.
Then we re-sign CB Perrish Cox to a 1-year deal worth $645,000.
These moves leave us with $12,290,226 in cap room, thanks to the low base salaries, MSB program, and top 51 rule.
Now those movres leave us with the following free agents.
QB Colt McCoy
RB Anthony Dixon
WRs Anquan Boldin, and Mario Manningham
C Jonathan Goodwin
DE Demarcus Dobbs(RFA, but not tendered)
CBs Tarell Brown, and Eric Wright
SS Donte Whitner
PK Phil Dawson
I honestly don't see an issue with re-signing Boldin, Whitner, and Dawson.
I see Brown and Dixon leaving for more money. Dixon has turned into a decent/good back, but we have Lattimore back, and James/Hunter are backups, no space for him on the 53 man roster anymore.
McCoy I don't see back until week 2, since his salary would be guaranteed on week 1 of September 2014.
As for Goodwin, I don't see him here in 2014, unless the market is dry, and he come back on a 1yr deal worth under $1.5M
Now remember, I haven't even considered extending/restructuring Vernon Davis, Frank Gore, and Patrick Willis' contracts. (Note: Willis can't until late April due to CBA rules).
So we have plenty of space to retain the main 3 vets. And then with the extra cap room, we could try and get a quality player. But my money is on extending a few, maybe Dorsey, or Miller, or how about Boone?
My ideal contracts for the Main Three are below.
1st is Anquan Boldin, I would give him a 2 or 3 yr deal, with most of it guaranteed, and $6M a year average.
Boldin gets a $9M signing bonus, prorated over 3 seasons, at $3M a year.
2014- $1M base(Guaranteed), $3M prorated, and $250K roster bonuses. = $4.25M cap hit
2015- $3M base(Guaranteed), $3M prorated, and $250K roster bonuses. = $6.25M cap hit
2016- $4M base(Non Guaranteed), $3M prorated, and $250K roster bonuses. = $7.25M cap hit
I would add in incentives for yards, and TDs, maybe $500K for 1,000 yards, and an extra $250K for 8 TDs or more.
Dawson is next, I would do a simple 2 year deal, if he is willing to go 2 years.
Dawson would get a $2.5M signing bonus, prorated $1.25M a year for 2 years.
2014- $2M base, and $1.25M prorated. = $3.25M cap hit
2015- $2.5M base, and $1.25M prorated. = $3.75M cap hit
Whitner is last, I would do a $5M a year deal, it's fair value.
Whitner gets a $6M signing bonus, prorated at $1.5M over 4 years.
2014- $1M base, $1.5M prorated, $250K roster, and $100K workout. = $2.85M cap hit
2015- $2M base, $1.5M prorated, $250K roster, and $100K workout = $3.85M cap hit
2016- $4.25M base, $1.5M prorated, $250K roster, and $100K workout. = $6.1M cap hit
2017- $5M base, $1.5M prorated, $250K roster, and $100K workout. = $6.85M cap hit.
The deal is easy out after 2 years, similar to Alex Smith's, and Carlos Rogers' deals.
His 2014 base is guaranteed, and his 2015 base is 50% guaranteed, and becomes fully guaranteed on April 1, 2015.
Boldin would cost $4.25M in '14, Dawson $3.25M in '14, and Whitner $2.85M in '14.
That's a total of $10.35M for 2014. And due to the top 51 rule, that leaves us with $3,425,226 in cap room, and we signed our main 3 guys to contracts, and we can still get extensions done for Bruce Miller. He could lower his recently escalated base salary down back to $645K, and turn the portion into a signing bonus.
Miller's deal would be for 4 years. He would get a $2.5M signing bonus, which is $625,000 a year for 4 years.
Base salaries would be, $645K(14), $1.5M(15), $2M(16), and $3M(17), add in $100K workout bonuses to each year, and maybe some roster bonus, maybe $150K.
His salaries would be, $1,535,614(2014, Includes remaining $15,614 from his 2011 signing bonus), $2.375M(2015), $2.875M(2016), $3.875M(2017), a total of around $10M in new money.
We now would have $3,294,226 in cap room, and that didn't take more than $200K or so off the cap room.
So we wouldn't have to do too much to sign draft picks. But eventually we would need to create more cap room for possible extensions for Crabtree, Kap, and Aldon Smith. Plus for during the season.
I would however sign Chad Henne to a 1yr deal worth $2M.
Now our pre-draft roster.
QB- Kaepernick/Henne/Bethel-Thompson
RB- Gore/Lattimore/Hunter/James/Hampton
FB- Miller/Tukuafu/Debniak
WR- Boldin/Crabs/Patton/Osgood/Jacobs/Wylie/Reed/Carswell
TE- Davis/McDonald/Celek/Carrier
C- Kilgore
OG- Iupati/Boone/Snyder/Looney/Seymour/Netter
OT- Staley/Davis/Bykowski/Marquardt
DE- Smith/McDonald/Tank/TJE/Okoye
NT- Dorsey/Williams/Dial/Purcell
OLB- Aldon/Brooks/Skuta/Lemonier
ILB- Bowman/Willis/Wilhoite/Moody
CB- Brock/Culliver/Cox/Morris/Swanson
FS- Reid/Dahl
SS- Whitner/Spillman/Ventrone
STs- Dawson/Lee/McDermott/Schmidt
My 2014 Mock Draft.
I expect a 3rd or 4th round pick for losing Dashon Goldson, I will say a 3rd, because of him playing most of the games, and his contract size.
We would have the following picks, without numbers.
Our 1st
KCs 2nd
Our 2nd
TENs 3rd
Our 3rd
Comp 3rd
Our 4th
Our 5th
Our 6th
INDYs 7th
NOs 7th
CARs 7th
Our 7th
I believe those are the order, based on records, for the rounds with more than 1 pick.
I believe we move up in round 1, and get a CB. My guy is Justin Gilbert, by the time draft time rolls around, he should be a top 20 pick.
I would deal our 1st, and TENs 3rd, since it's the same deal we did with Dallas, we gave them our 1st, and Carolina's 3rd.
Round 1.) CB Justin Gilbert, Oklahoma State (Comes in as the 3rd CB right away, possibly starting while Cully gets truly 100% healthy)
Round 2a.) WR Jordan Matthews, Vanderbilt (We need another threat at WR, and he would compete with Patton for the 3rd WR spot)
Round 2b.) OG Gabe Jackson, Mississippi State (We need to think of the future, and LG is a need, i dont see Iupati here past 2014)
Round 3a.) SS Deone Buchannon, Washington State (Likely becomes a 2nd round pick, but this based off my current top 270)
Round 3b.) CB Ricardo Allen, Purdue (Gives us extra depth needed at CB, and fights for an active spot with Cox and Morris, plus has return ability)
Round 4.) C Tyler Larsen, Utah State (To compete wit Kilgore)
Round 5.) QB Brett Smith, Wyoming (Provides depth at QB)
Trade up in round 5 for QB Brett Smith, give up our highest 7th rounder.
Round 6.) TE A.C. Leonard, Tennessee State (former Florida Gator, and potential 3rd TE)
Round 7a.) DT Bruce Gaston, Pudrue (Adds depth and compete at NT)
Round 7b.) DE Cassius Marsh, UCLA (Adds depth, and compete at DE)
Round 7c.) RB Kapri Bibbs, Colorado State (PS Depth, and you never know)

The S&P probably deserves a multiple of 20 given the Fed is going to be holding short rates at 0% and the 10-year around 2% for many more years, writes David Kotok. Given this and a conservative earnings guess of $90, fair value for the S&P 500 would be 1800 today. As for the end of the decade? If the Fed's going to keep with this, his previous guess of 2K is far too conservative.

FED adds 3rd mandate:
I agree with him. The S+P can go a lot higher as long as the fed keeps doing this. What is the alternative? The S+P was at 27x earnings in the late 1990s and rates were a lot higher back then, so 20 is just a number he pulled out of his rear end to sound conservative and believable. Don't forget, bonds are priced for perfection (equivalent to over 50x earnings on the 10 yr treasury), and there is a lot of downside risk with that. So if you can pay 50x earnings for overpriced treasuries, then why can't you pay 50x earnings for overpriced stocks (during the last bubble equities had a lower earnings yield than bonds because the market DECIDED that stocks were less risky. So the moral of the story is, don't fight the fed... at least for now.

It's not fatal. The date expresses the fact they exist a long time and that's the main idea... news coverage for a very long time. Using older facts wouldn't have the same impact because probably a lot of people won't know them, or at least not good enough...

Online Heavyweights Claim 2012 Is The Year For Local Business Advertising Focus
Oracle Digital updates inventory of services to cater to local businesses and make their online marketing campaigns more successful.
This announcement is in connection with the statement from National Advertisers saying that "2012 is the Year of Local" – which according to experts, is a signal that local businesses should start maximising the opportunities presented to them.
In a study undertaken by giant Internet company Google, it said that around 97% of consumers actually use the Internet when searching for local businesses. And this is why the company has incorporated its local businesses search and Google Places - with Google+, its very own social network.
With this revamp of Google's local business search features, experts are saying that local businesses must have the proper web presence and a solid Google Places or Google+ Local listing in order to reach a wider market attracting more customers to their services.
GMS Local has also released a marketing report, stating the seeming importance of online marketing tools for local businesses. According to the company, approximately 20% of web searches undertaken are to look for local companies, products and services. The report also stated that this number rises to 40% when smartphones are used.
In addition, the report also stated other statistics such as studies showing that 50% of consumers are influenced by a local business' ratings and reviews, as well as a Harvard Business Review study showing that every star that appears in a Yelp review for a specific business, will correspond to a 5% to 9% impact on the revenue of the company.
In light of these findings, industry experts and analysts are now calling on local businesses to take advantage of this potential – stating that they should start with their own online marketing campaigns accordingly.
James Corby, Business Development Director of Oracle Digital, shares this opinion by experts. He says, "Utilising Google features such as Google Places and Google+ Local is quite important, especially if you want to make more sales in the end. And with studies showing that more and more prospective customers are now using the web to conduct their local searches, and the explosion of smartphone usage – I suggest that local business owners should be aware of the services becoming available to their businesses online."
Corby then explained how to make online marketing campaigns work. He says, "You need to optimise your site in order to gain maximum visibility, engage in the proper social marketing schemes in order to have better client ratings, and utilise other online tools in order to become more appealing to your audience. Fortunately, we have these services and we are always willing to provide them to all of our clients."
Oracle Digital a well known SEO agency in Perth, engages in numerous services: Search Engine Optimisation, reputation management, social media platforms for businesses and a lot more. It serves clients from Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and other parts of the country.

Improper Payments:
Federal Executive Branch Agencies' Fiscal Year 2007 Improper Payment Estimate Reporting
GAO-08-377R: Published: Jan 23, 2008. Publicly Released: Jan 23, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In the fourth year of implementation of the Improper Payments Information Act of 2002 (IPIA), major executive branch agencies reported a total improper payment estimate of about $55 billion for fiscal year 2007. This increase from the prior year estimate of $41 billion was primarily attributable to a component of the Medicaid program reporting improper payments for the first time totaling about $13 billion for fiscal year 2007. We view this increased reporting as a positive step to improve transparency over the full magnitude of improper payments across the federal government. As Congress requested, the objective of this report is to provide summary data and preliminary analysis of the improper payment estimates reported by federal executive branch agencies (federal agencies) in their fiscal year 2007 performance and accountability reports (PAR) or annual reports.
The fiscal year 2007 estimate of about $55 billion represents improper payments for 78 programs in 21 agencies, an increase from the 20 agencies and 60 programs that made up the fiscal year 2006 estimate. The $55 billion estimate also represents about 2 percent of total fiscal year 2007 federal executive branch agencies' government outlays of almost $2.8 trillion and largely consists of improper payments made in eight programs. Collectively, the eight programs account for about $48 billion or approximately 88 percent of the total estimate. The largest estimate was related to the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Medicaid program with estimated improper payments of about $13 billion. Our review found that some agencies still have not developed improper payment estimates for all of their programs and activities identified as susceptible to significant improper payments. A majority of these programs represent newly identified risk-susceptible programs reported by the Department of Homeland Security. The completion of risk-susceptibility assessments on programs is a positive step toward addressing IPIA requirements. We also found, however, that three HHS programs had not reported improper payment estimates for fiscal year 2007, although the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) required these and other programs to report selected improper payment information for several years before passage of IPIA. After the enactment of IPIA, OMB's implementing guidance required that these programs continue to report improper payment information under IPIA. HHS reported in its fiscal year 2007 PAR that pilot reviews were conducted in various states for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Child Care and Development Fund programs and that estimated improper payment rates for these programs would be reported in fiscal year 2008. Further, HHS reported that it also expects to report a comprehensive improper payment estimate rate for the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) that will encompass its fee-for-service, managed care, and eligibility components. We recognize that measuring improper payments for these state-administered programs and designing and implementing actions to reduce or eliminate them are not simple tasks, particularly for grant programs that rely on administration efforts at the state level. Consequently, as we previously reported in April 2006, communication, coordination, and cooperation among federal agencies and the states will be critical factors in estimating national improper payment rates and meeting IPIA reporting requirements for state-administered programs.

News Shopper was at London Zoo on Wednesday night, capturing these pictures and video of the awesome tigers there.
The after-hours event was held to promote the Zoological Society of London's Christmas gifts, but the real thrill was access to the fabulous Tiger Territory.
The area is home to a family of beautiful Sumatran tigers - mum Melati, dad Jae Jae and three six-month-old cubs.
The parents and one of the babies were very obliging for the assembled journos with their cameras.
Although it was a surreal experience sipping mulled wine and listening to festive songs on a warm summer's evening, it was wonderful to enjoy some close-up time with these creatures.
We'll bring you details on the ZSL's gift range when we do our Christmas guide later in the year. For now, enjoy these tiger images and footage.

More Questions? We got answers….so send your questions to us by clicking here.
This is the make or break year for QB Ryan Tannehill?
–John, Pembroke Pines
To a certain extent, I think so. For me, I typically give a QB 25-30 starts to accurately judge him. (The Dolphin coaches might give him more.) Does he have what it takes? Are the mistakes he makes correctable? Is he learning the offensive schemes quick enough?
Recently, Tannehill talked about getting his feet set to improve his accuracy. (Something that is correctable.)
Overall, I know that I liked what I saw from Tannehill last season. Three times last season Tannehill brought the team from behind and put them in a position to win. Unfortunately, Dan Carpenter missed game winning field goals against the Cards and Jets. But that still says something about Tannehill's moxie.
With a lot more talent around him, Tannehill needs to have success, and show that he is the long term answer this season.
Are the chances pretty good that Caleb Sturgis beats out Dan Carpenter (for the kicker position)? –Phishfan12
Carpenter is due over $2 million in salary this year. (Sturgis won't cost even half that.) So unless Sturgis completely blows it, or joins a "leadership counsel", I think he is in the driver's seat for that spot.
So should we prepare for the Dolphins leaving Miami? –Fred, Connecticut
No….for more than one reason. First, where would the team move? L.A.? They don't have a new stadium.
Secondly, Mr. Ross not only owns the Dolphins, he owns Joe Robbie stadium (it will always be Joe Robbie to me….) If he moves the team, what does he do with the stadium?
Ross won't move the team. It is not economically feasible at this point.
But if L.A. builds a state of the art stadium, or when Ross sells the team, maybe it might happen. (I still doubt it.) But for the immediate future, the Dolphins are not leaving south Florida.

The 47 soldiers executed[edit]
It doesn't matter if they werent part of the FSA yet, I never said they were part of the FSA, but they WERE part of the collective syrian opposition the moment they decided to rebel. Every major media outlet and organisation is calling them defectors and the casualties section in the article clearly states army defectors. It would be more wrong to present them as loyalist fatalities, they stopped being loyalists the moment they decided to defect. You should take a look at this [1] opposition website. It lists all civilians and FSA/military allied with the opposition. And on their military fatalities list they clearly list all of the 47 soldiers killed. Thus the opposition themselves have declared them part of their movement. In any case they most certainly weren't loyalists. EkoGraf (talk) 04:37, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
That's the main problem there, what you just told me. All you are saying, about them going home, them not being part of the opposition officialy, sunni soldiers killed while fighting for the government weren't actually loyalists cause they didn't get a chance to defect and such is simple personal speculation on your part and borderline OR (Original research). Wikipedia is based on facts and sources and the fact (sources) is both the opposition and the international media has termed them as defectors and part of the opposition (opposition has put them on their list of military alligned to the opposition). Anything farther than that is your personal opinion which in all due respect doesn't count on Wikipedia, only sources. We edit per the sources and only per the sources (which all say they were defectors), please put your personal feelings and thoughts on the side.

Copyright violation[edit]
Hi Goltak, Thanks for your work to improve Houma massacre, but beware of cutting and pasting large amounts of text, as you did here.[2] This falls under WP:COPYVIO; it's important that we re-write our sources in our own words. Let me know if you have any questions. Khazar2 (talk) 21:19, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
Government death toll[edit]
I have removed from the main article on the conflict the death toll provided by the government because it was becoming out-of-date. The last civilian deaths number was back from March, 3,600, the last rebel deaths number was back from September of last year, 700, since than they only sporadicly updated that, and the last number for security forces deaths was a week ago, when it was approaching 4,000 and came in line with the SOHR number. If a new and fresh number is provided by the government I will add it. For now the numbers are SOHR, VDC, UN, Shuhada and the LCC. But I'm thinking of removing the LCC number because they have not provided a solid overall number for two months now. Will have to think about that some more. EkoGraf (talk) 18:39, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
SOHR number[edit]
The SOHR number of defectors dead is highly unrealistic given what other sources say. Two other opposition sources have listed by name well over 1,700 dead defectors, while SOHR has just only spouted out a number, without any fatalities list. A complete fatalities list provided by Shuhada and the VDC trump SOHR in that point. 2 sources vs 1. It's misleading promoting SOHR's number of 870 dead defectors when two other sources have forwarded a complete list of over 1,700. SOHR isn't really reliable anyway on the point of tracking rebel fatalities given that they themselves have declared they count rebels who were not defectors as civilians. That's why the note is in the infobox, to warn people about the inclusion of rebels in the civilian toll. And not just warn them about SOHR but the others as well given they are also only counting defectors as rebels, but it seems Shuhada and the VDC are much more thorough than SOHR on that point. The only reason SOHR's number of government troops dead is being used is because recently SOHR's number has overlapped with the government tally. EkoGraf (talk) 15:53, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
It was stated that the opposition groups count civilians as rebels, long before SOHR openly admitted it, by many political analysts and journalists (sources provided in the article: al jazeera, al arabiya, al akhbar, rt, etc). So what if one is allegedly in contact with the Syrian goverment? All journalists are in contact with them to relay their point of view. Of course the other opposition groups are counting as well, both Shuhada and the VDC, it is simple and pure logic and math if you look at the numbers. Please look at it from a neutral standpoint. The VDC claims 13,328 civilians and the rest defectors, the Shuhada claims 17,000+ civilians and the rest defectors. And they say those numbers are the total number of all people killed by government troops. But where are the rebels that weren't defectors in those numbers if those are the totals? Simply put they are all doing it, otherwise they are lacking at least 2,000 or more civilians turned rebels in their totals, which they are not because they say those are the definite totals. In my opinion it wouldn't be neutral and it would be highly misleading for the readers not to state that the opposition is counting certain rebels as civilians. The fact is if you look at it realisticly the opposition is confirming it itself by saying that the numbers the other activist groups are saying are the definite totals (minus the government troops) and at the same time are confirming that thousands of civilians are turning into rebel fighters. EkoGraf (talk) 19:15, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Besides, forgot one more thing, isn't the LCC openly stating in its reports when a rebel fighter (any fighter) dies and are counting them in their totals? And, per the LCC itself, they and the VDC are coordinating their counts. I think that says it all. EkoGraf (talk) 19:21, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
No problem. I don't think there is a need for a Khan Sheikoun article. The fight for the town was short (2 days) and, for Syrian standards, bloodless (just 6 dead). We should try and not make too many articles on non-notable events and small skirmishes. Due to already being several of these articles me and Elsworth were already talking about merging some of them into unified articles or redirecting them to the timeline articles due to a large number of them being just on or two sentences big.

Coach Says He Will Do More To Stress Studies at Ohio State
Coach Jim Tressel of Ohio State said today that he would do more to emphasize academics in the football program, after a report that his star running back, Maurice Clarett, had received preferential treatment in a class. The university opened an investigation into the allegations after The New York Times reported on July 13 that Clarett was allowed to take oral tests to pass a class. ''Maybe I need to do a better job of making sure we keep pounding and pounding and pounding the importance of academics and the importance of doing things right,'' Tressel said at the Big Ten's media day. ''I think we do a great job of that at Ohio State. I don't have an ill conscience about that whatsoever. But I also know that I can do things better, and I believe we'll keep working on that.''

SOURCE: Glasser, Marvin. "Baroque Formal Elements in Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida." Upstart Crow 6 (1986): 54-70.
In the following essay, Glasser studies those formal effects of Troilus and Cressida that bear a resemblance to the visual effects common in paintings contemporary with the play, contending that both types of effects suggest a collapse of sixteenth-century thought concerning the relationship between time and space, and between subject and object.
Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida has been described as a "keystone in the arch of Shakespeare's intellectual development," a result of his "consciously experimenting with structure" after 1600 (of wider significance because of his being "in the mainstream of the radical change in European aesthetics of his day"), and "almost … a design of philosophical positions."1 The tenor of these comments is that the...

Content Notes: trueform!sex, weird sex, mentions of cunnilingus, slight pain kink and blood kink.
Wordcount: c4000
Disclaimer: don't own, don't profit
Summary: Sam and Cas try trueform sex. It's different. (prompt: "Sam reads about angel true forms in the bunker library and gets curious about what Cas looks like outside his vessel. After a bit of affectionate nagging Cas acquiesces, and true form sex ensues. Get as weird and creative as you want with the true form, as long as they both enjoy the sex.")
A/N: This was one of my odder title grabs but not totally random; it's from Sylvia Plath's "Mussel Hunter at Rock Harbor," which is in the background of some of the imagery and atmosphere I was going for. Thank you to the spn_masquerade mods, the prompter, and everyone who took part. I only managed the one fill, but it was fun.

|49ers | Colin Kaepernick cleared for camp
Tue, 26 Jul 2016 17:23:34 -0700
San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick (shoulder) has received medical clearance to participate fully in training camp, according to a source. Kaepernick had a torn left labrum repaired this offseason in addition to surgery on his right thumb and left knee.
Fantasy Tip: Let the battle begin for the starting quarterback position in San Francisco. Neither Kaepernick nor Blaine Gabbert has played impressively enough in recent years to warrant starter consideration in fantasy leagues, though. At best, draft the 49ers starter as a bye-week replacement.

|49ers | Blaine Gabbert praised by Jerry Rice
Fri, 22 Jul 2016 09:36:25 -0700
Former San Francisco 49ers WR Jerry Rice praised QB Blaine Gabbert, who will be competing for the starting quarterback job with QB Colin Kaepernick in training camp. "I had an opportunity to meet him, and you can just tell the confidence. He feels he has a legitimate chance of being the starter. Then you got Colin Kaepernick, and I don't know if they're gonna be able to, you know, that offense of Chip Kelly because he likes to get over the ball, he likes constant movement and all of that," Rice said.
Fantasy Tip: It will be a very interesting development in training camp as to who comes out victorious in this QB battle under Chip Kelly's new high-octane offense. Whoever wins the job could be a QB2 sleeper with upside, but although Gabbert showed some poise at times in 2015, Kap's ceiling remains much higher for fantasy owners.

|49ers | All eyes will be on QB battle
Wed, 20 Jul 2016 23:21:18 -0700
San Francisco 49ers QBs Blaine Gabbert and Colin Kaepernick head into training camp battling for the starting job under center. Many in the organization feel Gabbert is a better fit in head coach Chip Kelly's offense, and he has a good grasp of the offseason.
Fantasy Tip: Kaepernick is the better athlete, but Gabbert might be the better fit. Whomever wins the job in Frisco should be viewed as a Top 20 fantasy option at his position.

|49ers | Colin Kaepernick excited about offense
Fri, 10 Jun 2016 14:41:55 -0700
San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick (knee, shoulder, thumb) said he is eager to run the offense that head coach Chip Kelly has brought to the team because it is similar to the one he used in college. He said he believes the new offense will give him more chances to run the ball.
Fantasy Tip: Kaepernick has not been able to practice this offseason because of multiple surgeries but should be ready for training camp. He will be competing with Blaine Gabbert but probably would only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he wins the job during camp.

|49ers | Colin Kaepernick looking to improve play
Fri, 10 Jun 2016 14:25:01 -0700
San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick (knee, shoulder, thumb) has tried to improve his flexibility this offseason by stretching his back because it would tighten up on him in the past. He is looking to become more limber so he can be a more elusive runner, according to a source. Kaepernick is also wearing contact lenses to help his short-area vision and has a tinted visor on his helmet to protect the contacts and reduce the sunlight in his eyes.
Fantasy Tip: Kaepernick will have to compete with Blaine Gabbert for the starting job during training camp, so owners should keep an eye on the situation. Kaepernick probably has more fantasy value at this point, but the winner of the job should be considered a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in all leagues.

|49ers | Colin Kaepernick focused on football
Thu, 09 Jun 2016 15:52:50 -0700
San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick doesn't anticipate any issues between him and the organization this season, even after requesting a trade earlier in the year. "I'm here, I'm a 49er, I'm excited for this offseason, the work that I can put in this summer to get ready for training camp and to come in and compete," Kaepernick said. Kaepernick (shoulder, thumb, knee), who had multiple offseason surgeries, also expects to be healthier and bulkier when training camp rolls around.
Fantasy Tip: Kaepernick will battle with Blaine Gabbert for the starting quarterback job in San Francisco. While Kaep is the more attractive fantasy option, neither should be viewed as a starting fantasy quarterback.

|49ers | Blaine Gabbert the favorite at QB?
Wed, 08 Jun 2016 11:47:31 -0700
San Francisco 49ers QB Blaine Gabbert is the "heavy favorite" to enter the 2016 as the starting quarterback, according to NFL Media columnist Michael Silver. QB Colin Kaepernick is "allegedly in competition" with Gabbert for the starting job. "He's loved in this locker room," Silver said of Gabbert. "He did a lot of good things last year and I'd be shocked if he's not the starter in the opener."
Fantasy Tip: Kaepernick's surgeries in the offseason have kept him from taking part in organized team activities, so the real competition under center will take place in training camp. Kap has better physical abilities and more fantasy upside, but if he doesn't show well in camp, Gabbert could open Week 1 as the starter. There is upside for whoever starts in Chip Kelly's system, but neither should be taken as a pure QB1 in fantasy drafts this fall.

|49ers | Colin Kaepernick to do individual drills
Tue, 07 Jun 2016 10:45:15 -0700
San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick (shoulder, thumb, knee) isn't cleared to take part in the minicamp, but head coach Chip Kelly said that Kaepernick will do individual drills on the side.
Fantasy Tip: Kap is slowly making progress from the injuries he suffered in his forgettable 2015 campaign, but he should be good to go for training camp at the end of July. Barring a meltdown or setback with his injuries, he should win the starting job over Blaine Gabbert. In Kelly's up-tempo offense, Kaepernick has upside, but nobody should be drafting him as a straight up starting fantasy QB.

|49ers | Niners QBs similar says Chip Kelly
Mon, 06 Jun 2016 10:53:17 -0700
San Francisco 49ers QBs Colin Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert are on similar ground, according to head coach Chip Kelly. "I think they're similar," Kelly told KGMZ-FM. "They have a similar skill set. They're both 6-foot-4-plus. They both can really run, which will help keep plays alive. Obviously we're not a quarterback-run offense, but if the quarterback can run, you can use a little of that to your advantage. And they both have extremely strong arms. So, from a skill set standpoint, the two of them are kind of cut out of the same mold."
Fantasy Tip: Kaepernick is coming off a frustrating 2015 season that ended prematurely due to multiple injuries. But when healthy, he has more upside in real life and in fantasy than Gabbert does. Kelly's new up-tempo offense could be a great fit for Kapernick as he looks to rebound, but nobody should be willing to invest anything more than a midrange fantasy backup selection on him.

|49ers | Colin Kaepernick out for minicamp
Mon, 06 Jun 2016 07:54:59 -0700
San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick (shoulder, thumb, knee) won't be cleared for minicamp this week, but the team is hoping he receives clearance closer to training camp.
Fantasy Tip: Kaepernick is the type of pick you take late in drafts as a low-end backup in hopes that you can catch lightning in a bottle if your starter flames out or is injured.
