Starbucks Releases $450 Gift Card Made of Steel
If you thought a $7 cup of coffee was pricey, prepare to be totally stunned by the latest offering from Starbucks. It's a $450 gift card made out of steel.
Just in time for the holiday gift-buying rush, Starbucks will put the metal card up for sale via gilt.com, a members-only shopping site catering to designer retail. But not everyone will have a chance to put this new card in his or her wallet. Starbucks will only make 5,000 of them.

If you're already a Starbucks member, you can purchase the card on Thursday, December 6. All others will have to wait until Friday, December 7.
What will you get with that shiny new card? Four hundred dollars to spend freely at Starbucks (the extra $50 goes toward the cost of making the metal card), plus gold-level Starbucks card membership benefits, which includes special offers and periodical free drinks.

Even those who aren't all that interested in coffee may purchase the card for posterity's sake. USA Today reports that some limited-edition Starbucks cards have sold for thousands of dollars on eBay in the past.
What do you think of Starbucks' new card? Would you pay $450 for a steel gift card? Do you think other retailers will follow Starbucks' lead?

Hey I was wondering if photoshop work would be accepted in this competition.
If you're editing images, you need to cite the source(s). After that, we're fairly stringent on what passes, and usually require that there's some direct artistic input i.e. drawing, and not just transformation and filters.
The main reason for this is because in the early incarnations of this competition when that was allowed, some users would take an image and apply a few filters and post it here. Most images you find online, unless they have a particular creative commons license, would disallow that as it fails Fair Use criteria.
In short we wouldn't encourage it, but you could submit photoshop work. However the judge (at the moment yours truly) reserves the right to disqualify it on the above criteria, or if it is deemed to have "insufficient artistic input", and if a moderator thinks you deliberately omitted the appropriate acknowledgements or infringed on copyright, that could get you banned. It's a risky business.

The rodtip twitched slightly. I had cast the bait cross-current less than two minutes earlier, so I suspected it was still rolling along the bottom, but I had to know for sure.
Holding my breath, I braced my boot against the gunnel and grabbed the rod, making sure not to put additional tension on the line. A few seconds later I felt the taught line slowly pump down a few inches. "It's a flathead," I proudly announced as the circle hook sunk into something so solid that the rod grudgingly stopped halfway into my usual swing. "It's huge!" I exclaimed, passing the rod to my eager client, Jeff.
He'd been waiting for a monster like this all day and had missed two brutes just 20 minutes earlier. The angry flathead buckled the rod and peeled line off the spool. Jeff started pumping it like he was strapped to a fighting chair on a tuna boat.
"Easy with that fish. You've got all the time in the world." I said patting him on the shoulder.
"I don't want it to get hung up!" he countered.
"Don't worry, there's nothing out there to hang on."
After a monumental tug of war, Jeff brought the fish alongside the boat. I sized up its bottom lip, thrust both hands into its gapingmaw and heaved it aboard.
"Wow, what a fish," Jeff kept saying as we examined its size. Not only was the cat 4 feet long, but it was stocky from whiskers to tail. Its massive bottom jaw capped a cavernous mouth that could easily swallow a Christmas goose. The dorsal fin was as big as Jeff's hand and a slab crappie could hide behind its tail fin with room to spare.
After a few photos, we released the fish and watched it disappear into the murky Mississippi River.
Reading that, it would be easy to assume that the big cat capped a banner day and had come off a gnarled root ball in a typical flathead haunt. But that would be dead wrong.
Fact is, it had been a tough-bites and we didn't hook the brute in anything close to a stereotypical flathead spot. But there was a method to our madness—we were following an ultra-aggressive approach I refer to as "gridding," which I've refined over the past five years.
In its simplest terms, gridding involves taking a section of water and mentally dividing it into a grid of equal-size squares—like a chessboard. That basic concept isn't nearly as difficult to master as the intricacies of when, where and how to do it.
That's because, unlike so many tactics we're taught, gridding is anything but a first-string tactic. It is only practical in certain situations, and how it works isn't easily defined.
Why is such a niche concept so important?
Because it is the way to catch big flatheads when all else fails.
Be A Cat WhispererGridding works to a degree virtually always, but it is most potent when you have a clear picture of the cats' strike zone, location in relation to cover, and whether the fish are moving or stationary.
The first step in doing this is to pay close attention to how cats react to your baits. Flatheads display different moods daily within their detection zone, which I envision as an elliptical bubble that extends a few feet right and left of the fish, about 4 feet above and approximately 10 feet from the middle of its pectoral fins out in front of the cat.
Place a bait within this zone and the cat knows its there. The important question is whether the flathead is willing to move for your offering.
How fish react to baits within that response zone will tell me if gridding is a practical option, and which of three general types of gridding I need to use to be successful. I also need to draw conclusions quickly in order to exploit the situation.
This is critical: Grid at the wrong time or at the improper speed and you'll not be very efficient. Use it too late in the trip and there may not be enough time to cover enough water tomake the plan work.
First PhaseIf the traditional tactic of placing baits directly in front of heavy cover isn't working, it's time to begin what I consider the first phase of gridding. This involves focusing less on the cover itself and placing baits out and away.
If you're still taking a few flatheads (that are hitting aggressively) on coveroriented baits, but also a few off the cover, visualize where the cover is and grid the remaining area within casting distance. Visualizing the grid keeps track of where baits have been, maximizing fishing time and eliminating unproductive water.
How large of a grid you overlay depends on how the cats have been behaving. When flatheads have been hitting baits a good distance from the cover with a solid "pop," and move the bait with authoritative pulls, it suggests they are willing to momentarily leave their holding spots and move to a bait. In response, I'll grid the area in 10- to 12-foot squares. If baits are sitting untouched for 15 to 20 minutes before they take a hit, this further reinforces what the flatheads are doing.
When the time period is up for an individual grid square, move the bait into a new one by dragging it toward the boat, hopping it along in the current or recasting.
Phase 1 gridding usually produces more flatheads than the following two phases because it employs the best of both worlds—flatheads are likely to be located tight to cover on most days, but often set up far to the side or in front on the same days.
If it flops, however, and produces just a few flatheads, I keep some baits near cover and grid with the outside rods only. If fish on cover don't bite, or only grab and spit my baits without moving (a territorial, not a feeding, response), and the baits are only taking a few hits within a couple minutes of the cast, I move to the second phase of gridding.
Second PhaseThis approach uses the same basic principles as the first, but varies in location and intensity. I move farther from cover and focus on areas with moderate current in depths from 10 to 17 feet. Cover-free basin areas, channel ledges and small isolated holes are top spots.
Although every new spot is an experiment, the activity you saw during Phase 1 should have supplied enough insight on what the cats are doing to change tactics. For example, consider one of the most likely Phase 2 scenarios: The only flatheads you've boated bit more than 20 feet from cover, and those fish were unwilling to move for a bait and were only hooked because you set the hook immediately after the first sign of a strike.
This should tell you that the cats aren't moving or aggressive; if they were, you would have caught at least some fish on baits that sat more than 15 minutes.
Knowing this, decrease the soak time for one grid square from 15 to 20 minutes to less than 10 minutes, and decrease the grid size by about half (to about six feet square). In essence, the cats have shown that you need to hit more bottom area in less time, and this approach lets you do just that.
To begin, anchor the boat about 20 yards from the leading edge of an isolated hole, drop-off, basin area or channel ledge on a flat that is at least seven feet deep. Initially cast the baits as far you can, fanning them out and covering as much water as possible.
After 10 minutes, pull each of your rodtips from their 3 o'clock position up to 12 o'clock, then take up the slack and return them to 3 o'clock. This will give each bait about a five-foot hop. The current will swing the bait downstream and into the adjacent grid square. If you're also running baits 45 degrees to the side of the boat, pull each up a bit, letting the sinker roll and settle into the next square.
Repeat this three to four times on each anchor till you've covered the grid. If you get a few hits or catch a fish, invest more time and work the area more than three times before moving to the next area. Your next anchor should begin just downstream of where your farthest casts landed on previous anchor.
Third PhaseIf Phase 2 doesn't produce, it probably means a recent rise in water is washing too much current through classic flathead habitat, forcing the fish to move, or the cats are simply so inactive that they won't take a bait. Whatever the case, it's time to shift into high gear and Phase 3.
Its tactics are more like a military operation than a fishing strategy. It may require anchoring as many as 30 times and casting each rod more than four times on each anchor position—all within the last few hours of a trip.
That's because it involves breaking from conventional spots, leaving cover and structure and quickly gridding vast, seemingly featureless flats.
Think of these areas as featureless, however, and you'll do yourself a disservice. In rivers with good current like the Mississippi, sand gets pushed up into rolling, dune-like structures on large flats. Look for these "dunescapes" on inside bends near the main channel or between wingdams that are spaced far enough for the current to be heavy during high-water periods, but settle to moderate flows during normal levels.
These "roller coaster" runs can be packed with flatheads seeking the right current, especially during the kind of high-water episodes that would render traditional, Phase 1 and Phase 2 tactics useless. Although the subtle dunes don't look like much, cats often position on bottom, just downstream of the humps. There they find desirable current and a perfect ambush point for prey washed over the lip of the dune.
Grid these areas correctly and it's not unusual to catch more than 10 flatheads in just a few hours.
When you've found a potential flat, motor over the area at about quarterthrottle, watching your sonar carefully. Look for the bottom dropping and rising at consistent intervals, toward the main channel from seven to 12 feet, down into 20 to 25. Fish those spots first.
Motor to the upstream edge and anchor using about a 20-pound, fourtine anchor. This style holds a big jonboat securely on even a short rope, but be sure to have at least 100 feet of line. It lets you anchor short on the first anchor, then let out all the rope for the second, which saves time—two anchors for the time and effort of one.
Grid the area within casting range, reducing the square size to less than four feet. Let your baits soak for less than five minutes; drag, hop and recast each rod until you've covered each square on that stretch of the flat. Pay extremely close attention to where the baits have been placed before and listen to what the flatheads are telling you through their behavior.
Although you'll never know exactly where you'll find flatheads when you begin the pattern, you can slowly pin down their location by eliminating areas as you fish. For example, if you don't connect with fish after a few anchors where you're tossing a bait in the main channel, a bait on the ledge, and four more scattered within the sand humps, move laterally toward shore. The depth is usually shallower, but you'll find a different current speed, which tends to be the factor on which these cats key.
Once you've eliminated current speeds that aren't producing fish, and identified the belt of currents that are, you can keep moving directly downstream for as much as several hundred yards (depending on the size of the flat) and likely stay on fish.
Hooking Phantom FlatheadsWhen fishing Phase 3, you're essentially dealing with inactive fish that aren't moving to eat a bait, and thus aren't going anywhere after they hit it. That's why it's essential to intensely examine each bait when you reel in between casts.
If baits from rods that showed a suspicious bump that never developed into a typical strike have flathead bite marks on them, you're missing fish.
The most common giveaway of one of these phantom strikes is if the rodtip taps slightly then stops wiggling entirely. The tap occurs when the flathead first picks up the bait, after which an inactive fish will just sit with the bait in its mouth, pumping the rod down just a few inches, if at all. Jump to a rod that shows these telltale signs and pick it out of the holder without changing the tension on the line. Feel for subtle pulls and for the erratic vibration of the struggling baitfish. The lack of a wiggle doesn't always mean its time to set the hook, but coupled with unnatural tension, it means a fish is there. Set the hook immediately before the cat spits the bait.
A System, Not A ScrambleGridding isn't just frantically flailing baits and haphazardly covering water— it's a systematic approach that consistently pinpoints flatheads that aren't doing what they're "supposed" to. Whether it's because of their mood or something else, these fish break the rules, and that's exactly why they're virtually impossible to locate or fish effectively using conventional tactics. Gridding, however, evens the playing field. So the next time finicky flatheads stump you, gut it out and really take it to them. It's neither easy, nor simple, but the system, used correctly, will put big cats into your arms when nothing else will.
Phase 1:
While Phase 1 gridding, the author stays close to traditional flathead-holding cover, and even places near it. But he also subdivides the water within a cast length cross-current and downstream of his boat, which he anchors approximately 20 yards upstream of the cover. The size of his grid squares depends on how the cats have been behaving, but is generally 10 to 12 feet. The cats are most likely positioned near the cover, not moving around it, so he lets baits sit for 15 to 20 minutes before recasting, hopping or dragging them to a new grid square.
Phase 2: Structural
In Phase 2, the author focuses on cover-free basins, channel ledges and isolated holes with moderate current in depths from 10 to 17 feet. Depending on cat behavior, he decreases the soak time for one grid square to less than 10 minutes and cuts the grid size to six feet. That's because if he's resorted to this phase, it means cats aren'tmoving to baits,making longer intervals useless. He anchors 20 yards from the leading edge of the structure then casts the baits as far he can, fanning them out and covering as much water as possible. Reposition the baits till you've covered each grid square.
Phase 3: Open
If Phase 2 doesn't produce, the author abandons conventional spots and grids vast areas where sand has been pushed up into rolling, dune-like structures on inside bends near the main channel, or between widely spaced wingdams. Hit stretches where the bottom gradually drops from seven to 12 feet, dipping into 20 and 25 toward the main channel. Flatheads here usually hold on bottom, just downstream of the dunes, using them as ambush sites, although many fish will also position themselves near the tops of the humps. Grid the area within casting range, reducing the square size to less than four feet. Let your baits soak for less than five minutes, then move each until you've covered the entire grid.
Why Not Drift?When encountering scattered, inactive flatheads, some anglers drift-fish or troll the same areas I choose to grid. Although these methods certainly produce a few fish, I feel they fail to manage time well. And as a result, these approaches catch fewer fish than gridding. Flatheads in relatively inactive feeding moods rarely make reaction strikes. I've found that, if they eat at all, they ambush prey in a slow, methodical manner. For example, I've often placed a bait just inches from a flathead's face, and it almost always takes two minutes or more before the cat finally bites. Admittedly, anglers catch sedentary flatheads while drifting and trolling, but the pattern doesn't seem consistent. I'm much more confident in giving fish a two- to 15-minute time period than whizzing a bait past them.
There are currently no comments, be the first to post one.
Sixty-seven lakes and reservoirs, in 19 states, hold specially tagged fish that could turn into cash or prizes for lucky anglers! Read on!
Catfish are known to consume odd things for their meals, so it is no wonder that some of the better baits to catch these fish are quite out of the ordinary.
Big rivers like the Missouri, Ohio and Mississippi are legendary for the monstrous cats they produce. But bigger isn't always better.
You saw the pictures, you knew flatheads were famous for feeding on almost anything, and you shook your head in disbelief. But you never knew the true story behind the photo of the huge cat with a basketball stuck in its mouth, did you?

Publisher Synopsis
Praise for "Queen Bee of Tuscany" ""Queen Bee of Tuscany" is so amusing, in so many ways, it's hard to know where to begin the praise . . . This is a perfect book for the bedside, poolside or, if you're really lucky, that long long plane ride to Italy . . . Let me stress that none of what I've said quite conveys the pleasure of reading "Queen Bee of Tuscany." This isn't merely a history of Janet Ross and her family or of the long-standing Anglo-Florentine colony. It's a compendium of literary and historical vignettes, a showcase for it author's excellent prose, and quite simply one of the best books of the year." --Michael Dirda, "The Washington Post" "Downing has assembled an immense amount of information, not only about this remarkable family of literate, artistic, and well-connected women writers . . . but about the vast cast of foreigners who, from the end of the Napoleonic wars, made Tuscany their home . . . "Queen Bee of Tuscany" provides a rich historical survey of a lost and charmed age." --Caroline Moorehead, "The Wall Street Journal""Now and then, there appear certain lives that serve as lenses onto an entire generation--those lucky few who happen to live at a place and time of particular foment and historical import, and whose personal destinies intersect with the great movements of art, literature, and politics that define an age . . . Janet Ross--whose story is detailed in rollicking fashion in Ben Downing's new book, "The Queen Bee of Tuscany"--is just one such character . . . She'd been born amid the optimistic expansion and bustle of Victorian empire; she passed away in the brief pause between Europe's most deadly and debilitating wars. In between, she led, in Downing's words, 'one of the fullest lives imaginable, ' and her 'forceful personality made, for better or worse, a strong impression on all those who met her.' We may not remember the name Janet Ross these days, but Downing's book stands a fair chance of changing that- Read more...

Audi building hybrid A8 for 2012
The ultimate example of having your cake and eating it too is the A8 hybrid that Audi announced it will begin building in 2012. Audi's flagship luxury sedan boasts a Bang & Olufsen audio system and Google Earth integration into the navigation system. And with its hybrid system, it also earns 44 mpg under the European test cycle.
The hybrid version of the A8 will use Audi's direct-injection turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder, which in this application produces 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Audi replaces the torque converter in the eight-speed automatic transmission with a 53-horsepower electric motor, … Read more

#8 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2013
Very dark in color. The nose is very delicate and powerful at the same time, with red fruit, blackcurrants, blackberries, spices, thyme and lavender. The bouquet is very elegant, rich and round, with figs, cherries, blackcurrants and stewed fruit, all with great acidity. The tannins are present but very delicate.
"Dark, dense and very closed now, this has a tremendous core of crushed plum, linzer torte and blackberry confiture waiting in reserve. Ample singed cedar and mesquite, warm paving stone and black tea notes lurk in the background and glide through the finish. Features serious grip, but wonderful integration. Should cruise in the cellar. Best from 2016 through 2035." 96 Points Wine Spectator
"Interestingly enough, even though many of the 2010 Perrin et Fils selections from the southern Rhone were scheduled to be bottled right after my visit, the 2010 Beaucastel had already been put in bottle. This is a gorgeous wine, a classic blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise and the balance the other permitted varietals in the appellation. Deep purple, with loads of bouquet garni, beef blood, blackberry, kirsch, smoke and truffle, this wine is full-bodied, rich and showing even better than it did last year. I still think it needs 3-5 years of cellaring, and it should last for 25-30 years, as most of the top vintages of Beaucastel do." 95 Points The Wine Advocate
"Bright ruby. Sexy, spice- and mineral-accented aromas of red and dark fruit preserves and garrigue. Juicy and expansive on the palate, offering vibrant black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors, a hint of smokiness and intense minerality. Tannins come on late and are quickly sucked up by this wine's intense fruit. Rich and lively, with excellent finishing clarity and length." 94 Points International Wine Cellar
In 1549, Noble Pierre de Beaucastel bought a barn with its land holdings, containing 25 saumees at Coudoulet. More than four centuries later, this remarkable domaine, known today as Chateau de Beaucastel, is producing what most people acknowledge to be the finest wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

Oxford earns sweep of Senatobia
Oxford fans at the OHS gym on Tuesday saw two very different games from the Chargers and Lady Chargers against Senatobia.
While both squads won, it was the boys that claimed a run-away 74-57 victory, while the girls had to hold on and knock down free throws at the end to claim a 48-41 win. (November 17, 2010, Page 6)

Google Calendar Sync Issue
My Samsung Galaxy S3 has stopped syncing my Google Calendars (I have two Google accounts syncd) since two weeks ago, and theres an exclamation mark next to the sync icon with the following message on the bottom of the Sync Settings page: Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly. My other Google services sync fine. I tried clearing the Calendar cache but it didnt help. Im not sure if this is something related to the Jelly Bean update (version 4.1.1) although this began happening couple of weeks after this update. Does anyone know how to get Google Calendar back to syncing normally? Thanks!
Re: Google Calendar Sync Issue
Go to app manager find Calendar storage and clear data. Reboot phone. See if that works....

Re: Google Calendar Sync Issue
Thanks a lot for this. It resolved the issue. It seems to me that this is an Android bug because I previously had a Samsung Transform and once in a while most of my Google services used to stop syncing and every time I had to clear the cache to get them back to sync. I thought it's because of the medicore phone I was using but now I see it happening even with GS3! What sucks is that you're on your own to figure out that no sync is taking place when you suddenly realize that an event you're expecting is not in your calendar! I wish we could at least get a Sync Failed error in the notification area to go and clear data. Does such function exist in Android?
Re: Google Calendar Sync Issue
Go to you gmail account on your computer and:
1. click calendars
2. Click on the gear icon on the upper right and choose settings.
3. under the word calendar settings click on the calendars link
4. find the google calendar you are using and click on it
5. click on the link reminders and notifications
6. click on add a reminder
You can set it up to send you an email reminder of calendar events daily. Or you can set it up to send you a text to your phone a few hours before each event. That way if it quits syncing again, you will still get reminders sent via email or text or both.Thanked by: - 02-20-2013, 12:59 PM #5
Re: Google Calendar Sync Issue
Help! My google calendar stopped syncing. In looking through various threads, I found advice that suggested I clear my calendar/calendar storage data, force stop calendar, tell google to stop syncing calendar, and then start it back up. Have done all that, and restarted phone, and now I have no google calendar at all. I try to add it back to my calendar and I get the error that I already have this google account on my phone. But still no calendar. I try again to tell google to sync my calendar, and it says it does (in a second or two, and I have YEARS worth of calendar entries on there), but I still cannot find my google calendar on my phone. Samsung G3 4.1.1.
Re: Google Calendar Sync Issue
PS when I try to add a new event to my (now blank) calendar, hoping to tell it to use my gmail calendar, it says "Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a Google account" with options below to go to accounts and sync or ignore. Around again only to tell me I already have this google account on my phone... BUT I did notice meanwhile that (under HOME, MENU, SETTINGS, GOOGLE) the little syncing circle icon is green, yet when I touch that account name (my gmail email address) and look at the SYNC SETTINGS, the SYNC CALENDAR circle icon is WHITE and not moving. Like it's stuck. This is making me crazy and taking hours of my time.
Re: Google Calendar Sync Issue
I had a problem with Gmail, I couldn't send any messages, it would go through the motion but never go anywhere. I went to the app settings and cleared data and it is working again. Messages didn't even show in the sent folder, weird.

Re: Google Calendar Sync Issue
I also missed the part about exporting my local android calendar before trying all of this stuff and have apparently lost EVERYTHING. I had so much important stuff in my calendar, it's really not funny. It will affect my life dramatically over the next few weeks. Someone needs to edit ALL of the postings in this section and warn people to BACKUP or EXPORT calendars before trying any of this stuff.

This was in ESPN The Magazine which arrived today. I disagree on some of the points (I tend to side more with the owner over the players), but it brings up some of the flaws on both sides of the table.
BTW..any guesses on who the player is? Definitely a veteran based off the comment at the end of #5 suggesting players should attend a mandatory business class (I think they've been doing that for a few years...ala Beasley's suspension as a rookie). Maybe Tim Duncan?
Player X is an anonymous NBA star. This is his fourth column.
ON JULY 1, THE NBA WILL LOCK OUT ITS PLAYERS. That is for sure. And it may do more than wipe out next season. I've been told to prepare to miss the following one, too. The owners and players are that far apart.
Well, I can tell you that the players are ready. For more than a year our union reps have been advising us to save money. All my friends have cut back -- on cars, bling, you name it. Me too. I won't need another paycheck until 2013.
But the problems between the two sides are real, and they've got to be dealt with. Here's my chance to do my part. I'm not a lawyer or an accountant; I'm not even a union rep. So I can't speak about numbers or CBAs. But I can present to my fellow players and our owners a road map that will not only end the battle but also prevent any further troubles.
1. Remember the stakes.
Without basketball, our fans will turn to the NFL and MLB. And once they go, it will take a long time to win them back. If they're not spending on our tickets and gear, we aren't earning to our potential. (You got money; we want it. Welcome to the food chain.) But while the stoppage will hurt the players some, we ain't sweating. Can the owners say the same? I predict a full-season lockout causes more than one franchise to fold.
2. Find new resources.
Owners say they're losing money. If that's true, it's their fault and makes me think they're not very bright. (I'll explain in a second.) We need owners who are smarter, hungrier, bolder and richer. The NBA was onto something when it okayed the sale of the Nets to Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov. Just like that, a dying franchise had a legit shot at landing LeBron. How many other rich foreigners are smiling as they monitor our sexy, cash-strapped league? We need to become a league where only the strong survive -- no matter where they call home.
3. Clean house.
The owners need to stop blaming us for their hardships and start scrutinizing the "geniuses" in the front office who handle their dough. Our teams are run by one weak GM after another, guys who blow millions on overvalued players, then blame the rest of us for driving the league into the ground. The only way to win is to spread the money around. You can't max out on a bold-faced name like Carmelo Anthony, Rudy Gay or Joe Johnson and still fill a roster with a worthy support crew. And you can't get a ring with that kind of incomplete team. Owners need to find some new GMs, or become de facto GMs themselves, like Mark Cuban. When you hold your own purse strings, you open them more carefully.
4. Lower the max salary.
Hear me out, players. Owners want to cut our salaries by a third, and that's just ridiculous. They've built a billion-dollar business on our shoulders, and suddenly we're worth a third less? Of course we're never going to go for that. But if they brought that max number down, owners could put a little something in their pockets and still build a contender. Kobe can live on a few million less, I promise you.
5. Take a look in the mirror.
We players are our own worst enemy. The guys I know don't watch their bank accounts or even know how to do their taxes, and we lend money like crazy. I haven't seen a dime on 70 percent of the loans I've given out. If family wants money, cool. Friends? Forget it. Most of us aren't good with investments, either. Ever since real estate went to hell, we've been buying car washes (dumb) and record companies (really dumb). We have to go back to the basics. I know few NBA guys who carry cash or can even find their checkbook. While we're at it, the league, or maybe the union, should start requiring every rookie to take a business class.
6. Change the tone.
I don't sit in on the negotiations, but from what I hear, David Stern is a beast -- a tough bargainer, to say the least. Now, we have a lot of smart fellas -- guys like Derek Fisher -- running the Players Association, and we stand by them. If my union asks me to march with signs or to hand out PB&Js, I'm there. But deep down, I blame them, too. We need to chill the hell out. This isn't war; it's business. We have a chance to save our season and strengthen our league. I pray we do. Because, damn, I hate watching baseball.

Find a lower hotel rate and we'll match it.
With few guarantees in life our Look No Further Best Rate Guarantee is the best. It assures that you'll always get the best rate available when you book directly with Hotel Desire Costa Rica.
Here's how it works: Book a Hotel Desire Costa Rica all-inclusive room using any of our direct reservation channels (through the website, telephone reservations, or directly at a hotel), if within 24 hours of making your reservation, you find a lower hotel rate for the same hotel, room type, room category and reservation dates, and submit a qualified claim form, we'll match the rate.
More reasons to book directly with Hotel Desire Costa Rica
When booking a hotel online you are entitled to the best, so we have created your hotel booking bill of rights. Rights you get - but only when you book directly Hotel Desire Costa Rica. The right to enjoy our Look No Further Best Rate Guarantee is just one of them. Your other rights include:
- The right to set your room preferences.
- The right to change your reservation without paying extra fees to a maximum of three changes.
- The right to earn Hotel Desire Costa Rica Rewards points when you stay.
Terms & Conditions
One reservation must be made through any Hotel Desire Costa Rica reservation channel (meaning our reservations number, our hotel or the official www.HotelDesireCostaRica.com web site).
The guarantee does not apply to the following rate types:
- Rates that are not publicly available, such as negotiated corporate or group rates.
- Discount rates offered only to members of groups or individuals who meet previously-specified criteria, including AAA members, seniors, government employees, or Hotel Desire Costa Rica Rewards members.

The Hotel Desire Costa Rica rate and the "Comparison Rate" must be found, and a completed claim form submitted, within 24 hours and must be for the same hotel, room type, room category and reservation dates. The same cancellation and advance purchase policies, and other terms and conditions governing the rates must apply.
Hotel Desire Costa Rica will verify the Comparison Rate within 24 hours of receiving your claim and notify you of the results. Because the claim must be processed before check-in, you must submit your claim at least 24 hours prior to check-in.
The Comparison Rate must be reservable by the general public and be verifiable by Hotel Desire Costa Rica. If the Comparison Rate is offered through a Hotel Desire Costa Rica channel, you must reserve that rate to qualify for the guarantee.

Comparison Rates applicable to only a portion of your entire scheduled stay will not be honored.
Void where prohibited by law. Hotel Desire Costa Rica reserves the right to modify or cancel the guarantee at any time without prior notice.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Orrin Hatch
United States Senator
Statement of Chairman Orrin G. Hatch Thomas B. Griffith to be United States Judge for the District of Columbia Circuit Good morning. I am pleased to introduce and welcome to the Committee a member of the Senate family, Thomas B. Griffith. Many of us know Tom from his distinguished service as the Senate Legal Counsel. As the chief legal officer of the Senate, Tom represented the Senate, its committees, Members, officers and employees in litigation relating to their constitutional powers and privileges. He advised committees about their investigatory powers and procedures, represented the institutional interests of the Senate in the impeachment trial of President Clinton, in the Line Item Veto Act litigation, and in numerous committee investigations. Despite the difficult and often divisive issues Tom encountered in his role as Senate Legal Counsel, he consistently exercised sound judgment, objectivity, and fairness - qualities that are essential to service as a federal judge. Tom's possession of these qualities earned him the respect and admiration of members on both sides of the aisle. Along these lines, I'd like to take a couple moments to share just a few excerpts from the many letters we received in support of his nomination. Richard Wiley of the firm Wiley Rein and Fielding and former law partner of Tom Griffith wrote that "Tom is an outstanding lawyer, with keen judgment, congenial temperament and impeccable personal integrity." Seth Waxman said of Tom's nomination, "I have known Tom since he was Senate Legal Counsel and I was Solicitor General, and I have the highest regard for his integrity. For my own part, I would stake most everything on his word alone. Litigants would be in good hands with a person of Tom Griffith's character as their judge." Glen Ivey, former counsel to Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle, wrote to this Committee, stating, "I believe Mr. Griffith is an exceptional nominee and would make an excellent judge. Although Mr. Griffith and I have different party affiliations and do not agree on all political matters, I learned during the Senate's Whitewater and Campaign Finance Reform investigations that Mr. Griffith took seriously his oath of office. Even when we were handling sensitive and politically charged issues, he acted in a non-partisan and objective manner. I believe Mr. Griffith has the intellect and the temperament to make an outstanding jurist." Fred Fielding was the White House Council for President Reagan. Fred helped found the reputable firm, Wiley, Rein and Fielding. Mr. Fielding has described Tom as "a very special individual and a man possessed of the highest integrity. He is a fine professional who demands of himself the very best of his intellect and energies." According to David Kendall, personal counsel to President and Senator Clinton, "For years Tom has been a leader in the bar and has shown dedication to its principles. The federal bench needs judges like Tom, an excellent lawyer who is supported across the political spectrum. . . . [W]e support Tom and believe he has the intellect and judgment to be an excellent judge." Harvard Law Professor William Stuntz has known Tom for over twenty years. He wrote, "Few people I know deserve to be called wise; very few deserve to be called both wise and good. Tom is a wise and good man. I believe he will be one of this nation's finest judges." Tom's nomination is also whole-heartedly supported by a man who is uniquely qualified to say who would be good fit for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Abner Mikva, a former White House Counsel for President Clinton and a former Chief Judge of that court, wrote, "I have known Tom Griffith in the public sector and in the private sector, and I have never heard a whisper against his integrity or responsibility." Finally, Senator Dodd of Connecticut noted that Tom handled his difficult responsibilities as Senate Legal Counsel with great confidence and skill ... impressing all who knew him with his knowledge of the law and never succumbing to the temptation to bend the law to partisan ends." I could go on and on reading comments received by the Judiciary Committee in praise of Tom Griffith. In all my years in the Senate, I have rarely seen such a broad outpouring of support for a nominee from so many distinguished individuals on both sides of the aisle. Tom has been a dedicated public servant and has demonstrated the sound judgment and temperament necessary to be an outstanding federal appellate judge. It is no wonder that the President chose to nominate Tom Griffith for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Prior to coming to work in the Senate, Tom also earned an impressive record of achievement. He distinguished himself academically, graduating summa cum laude from Brigham Young University and valedictorian of his college. Tom earned his law degree from the University of Virginia, where he was a member of the law review. He also has experience in the private sector, working at the North Carolina law firm of Robinson, Bradshaw and Hinson, and subsequently as a partner in the litigation and government affairs practice areas in the Washington firm of Wiley, Rein and Fielding. Tom has also given back to the community throughout his legal career. While in private practice, he undertook the significant pro bono representation of a death row inmate, which led to a commutation of the inmate's sentence by the Governor of Virginia. He has also frequently volunteered his time to pro bono and public service groups. Today, Tom serves as Assistant to the President and General Counsel of the largest private university in America, his alma mater and mine, Brigham Young University. I understand that some have raised questions about whether he was required to take the Utah Bar exam to serve in his current position as BYU General Counsel. This criticism can be put to rest by a letter I received from five former Utah Bar Presidents. They stated that "a general counsel working in the State of Utah need not be a member of the Utah bar provided that when giving legal advice to his or her employer that he or she does so in conjunction with an associated attorney who is an active member of the Utah bar and that said general counsel makes no Utah court appearances and signs no Utah pleadings, motions or briefs." In addition, the ABA has thoroughly examined Mr. Griffith's record and made the determination that he is qualified to serve on the bench. A prominent Salt Lake City attorney, James Jardine, has described what Mr. Griffith would bring to the court: "He is a skilled, thoughtful, experienced lawyer....He is extraordinarily thoughtful. His intelligence is tempered by his judgment. He engenders trust and confidence among colleagues. His integrity, balance and patience are genuine virtues. He will in every way enhance the Court." Mr. Jardine concluded: "I think in a time of divisiveness, his appointment can be a point of agreement." I could not agree more. This important court needs this good man to serve, and I hope that the Senate will treat a member of the Senate family with all due respect and move quickly to confirm the President's nominee, Tom Griffith, to this long vacant seat.
J. Michael Seabright is our nominee for the District of Hawaii. A distinguished graduate of George Washington University Law School, Mr. Seabright has had an equally distinguished legal career and brings over 20 years of experience to the federal bench. After a short tenure in private practice, he entered the public sector first as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Colombia, then as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for Hawaii. Since 2001, he has served as the Supervisory Assistant U.S. Attorney in Hawaii. The seat to which he has been nominated has been vacant for nearly five years. I am hopeful that the Senate will move quickly on his nomination, and I am confident that Mr. Seabright will ably fill that long vacant seat.
Paul Crotty is our other distinguished district nominee, for the Southern District of New York. He has impeccable credentials, having graduated from Cornell Law School with the highest honors and a two-year clerkship with the Honorable Lloyd MacMahon in the Southern District of New York. He was a partner with the renowned firm of Donovan, Leisure, Newton & Irvine. Mr. Crotty has had an illustrious career in the public sector as well. He has served as a New York City Commissioner in two mayoral administrations: first for Democrat, Ed Koch, and later for Republican, Rudy Guiliani. He is currently the group president for New York and Connecticut of Verizon Communications. I am confident he will be a fine addition to the federal bench. |
