Just how much did Jim Tressel know about the reported NCAA violations involving the sale of Ohio State memorabilia in exchange for tattoos that led to the suspension of five prominent football players? On Tuesday, following the announcement Ohio State would self-impose sanctions upon Tressel, emails were released revealing the correspondence between the Buckeyes' head coach and an attorney who originally raised a red flag about athletes selling memorabilia in April of 2010.
The emails detail a federal drug trafficking investigation that centered on a local tattoo parlor owner, Edward Rife, who possessed signed memorabilia from current Ohio State players. The first email, dated April 2, 2010, raised the alarm while notifying Tressel of the history of Rife and providing basic information about the signed memorabilia he was in possession of. Tressel responded on the same day, saying he will "get on it ASAP."
Two weeks later, the same attorney sent Tressel another email providing more details about the memorabilia and advising Tressel to keep his players away from Rife. The attorney adds the email was confidential, a defense Tressel used in his press conference.
Here's the emails, listed in chronological order (H/T Sports By Brooks).
Tressel was suspended for the first two games of the 2010 season and fined $250,000 as part of sanctions imposed by Ohio State on Tuesday.

New Options Enable Easy FMCSA Reporting Online or from In-Vehicle Touchscreen Terminals
GLENVIEW, Ill., June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Navman Wireless USA today announced the addition of new electronic driver log and driver vehicle inspection reporting (DVIR) options to its OnlineAVL2 fleet tracking system for corporate fleets that must comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association (FMCSA) regulations. Both reports can now be completed online through a link in the Navman Wireless interface or in the field on Navman Wireless' M-Nav 800 in-cab touchscreen navigation/message terminal for instant driver access and roadside inspection.
Electronic filing of these reports reduces paperwork, increases driver productivity, improves back-office visibility to driver hours for resource utilization and load planning, and enables immediate notification of vehicle defects without the delays associated with paper DVIR reports. Compliance benefits include automated workflow ensuring that drivers complete vehicle inspection reports, proper documentation for roadside inspections, and fewer roadside-related driver violations yielding improved compliance, safety and accountability (CSA) scores.
OnlineAVL2's new Electronic Driver Logs option automates Hours of Service reporting required by FMCSA Part 395:15. It:
OnlineAVL2's new Electronic Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting option enables drivers to electronically record the results of pre- and post-trip inspections per FMCSA regulations Part 396, section 11 and 13. It:
Both options are provided through a partnership with Innovative Software Engineering (ISE) and customization of its eFleetSuite compliance package to seamlessly integrate with the workflow of the OnlineAVL2 system.

"This is the latest step in our ongoing effort to aggregate key fleet-related functions under the OnlineAVL2 umbrella to streamline business processes for fleet operators."

McCain's 'warning' on Fannie & Freddie
By Adriel Bettelheim
Published on Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 at 5:23 p.m.
The turmoil on Wall Street is prompting the presidential candidates to offer prescriptions for restoring order to U.S. financial markets. John McCain is using the opportunity to remind voters that he called on Congress to crack down on government-chartered mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Appearing on CNN's American Morning on Sept. 16, 2008, McCain sought to blame much of the crisis on Wall Street greed and inept or corrupt government regulators. "Ask any American citizen who has been the victim of a bureaucrat or a bureaucracy," McCain said. "I said two years ago that the Fannie and Freddie thing was a very serious problem and we had to work on it. And I have always opposed greed of Wall Street and I know how we can fix this."
McCain echoed his remarks later in the day during a speech in Tampa, saying, "Two years ago, I warned the administration and the Congress that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac needed to be fixed. It turns out, the problem was even bigger. They waited too long, and now we have a housing crisis, three bailouts with taxpayers' money, and a financial crisis."
In both appearances, McCain was referring to his 2006 decision to sign on to a Republican-led regulatory overhaul of the mortgage-financing firms, which both went through multibillion-dollar accounting scandals earlier in the decade. The occasion that prompted McCain's involvement was the release of a 340-page report from the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight that concluded that Fannie Mae had manipulated earnings and violated basic accounting principles. It describes an "arrogant and unethical corporate culture" in which executives were more concerned about their bonuses than meeting the company's housing mission.
The findings, based on a 27-month investigation and resulting in a $400-million fine paid to the government, prompted McCain to join other critics and call for more scrutiny of Fannie and its sibling, Freddie Mac. "If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole," McCain declared in a May 26, 2006, news release.
So it's true that McCain spoke out — after a widely read report drew attention to chicanery at the firms. But the implication in McCain's remarks is that his remarks in 2006 were in some way a warning about the financial markets disaster that struck in 2008. That strikes us as quite a stretch.
First of all, congressional efforts to increase oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac extend back to the early 1990s, making McCain a latecomer to the debate. The regulatory efforts proved unsuccessful because of Congress' complicated relationship with the firms, whose dominance in the home financing market makes their stability critical to the economy.
Fannie and Freddie are government-sponsored enterprises — a type of private corporation created by Congress for an explicit purpose; in this case, to lower the cost of capital in the housing market. Though critics have long maintained that the firms were too large and didn't have enough capital to guard against risk, many lawmakers worried that stricter regulation would interfere with the firms' role in the housing market. (The now-defunct Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, known as OFHEO, oversaw Fannie and Freddie but had limited regulatory authority.)
In his appearances, McCain tries to connect the accounting scandals with the broader meltdown in the mortgage markets. But the current crisis arose because banks and mortgage companies made risky "subprime" loans to people with poor credit histories that were then packaged into securities and sold to institutional investors. As interest rates rose and home prices began to fall, homeowners unable to refinance the loans or sell their properties began to default, unleashing a cascade effect through financial markets. That phenomenon had nothing to do with Fannie and Freddie's internal problems; in fact, both firms were praised for cushioning the financial free fall and keeping the market afloat by spending billions of dollars to purchase subprime loans.
Even if the 2006 effort to strengthen oversight had succeeded, it's debatable whether it would have averted the subprime crisis. The extent of the problems was not yet fully known, and it's a leap of faith to suggest that regulators granted expanded power would have noticed a deterioration in Fannie and Freddie's loan portfolios soon enough and would have sounded an alarm. Shaken by the extent of the subprime crisis, Congress and the Bush administration earlier this year completed a regulatory overhaul by combining OFHEO and the Federal Housing Finance Board into a new regulatory body, the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Last weekend, the government took the additional step of placing the two firms into conservatorship — essentially a government takeover in which Treasury will extend up to $200-billion of support to the companies.
Barack Obama's campaign responded to McCain's remarks by labeling his desire for tougher oversight a myth. Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor noted that McCain in 1992 voted against imposing stricter controls on Fannie and Freddie during Senate debate on a broader housing bill, and this year argued against providing big government bailouts in response to the crisis, whether for big lenders or homeowners.
We give McCain some credit for weighing in on problems surrounding Fannie Mae, even though he got involved after a comprehensive government report issued a loud alarm to anyone watching. However, his attempts to depict those efforts as some sort of early warning that could have lessened the current credit crisis just don't wash. All McCain was talking about then was the potential fallout of accounting troubles in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He didn't say anything about a freewheeling climate among creditors that had major financial institutions becoming badly leveraged on bad loans. We rule his claim Barely True.

Most standard-weight hand pruners can be classified as either bypass, anvil or double-cutting. Lighter weight (though not necessarily lighter duty) tools frequently have needlenose (scissor-like) blades for more precise work where pruner cutting capacity isn't an issue.
|Bypass pruners
|Anvil pruners
Generally the most versatile pruner. A relatively thin, sharp cutting blade "bypasses" a heavier, thicker counter-blade. When properly maintained, bypass pruners make clean cuts in green wood without bruising or crushing the bark.
A good choice for cutting dead or very hard woods (less desirable on green wood and more prone to crushing or bruising). A thin, heat-treated steel blade cuts against a softer brass or aluminum anvil. Anvils are either straight (e.g. Felco 31) or curved (e.g. Castellari Ergonomic). A curved anvil is said to require less cutting effort.
|Very popular with European fruit growers. Two sharpened blades meet precisely, effectively cutting the branch from both sides. Manufacturers claim this configuration makes a clean cut without a tendency to crush the branch, since both blades are cutting.
We also carry a number of lighter weight needlenose shears that are ideal for fruit and vegetable harvesting, wreath making and pruning house or greenhouse plants. OESCO sells such familiar brands as Felco, ARS, Bahco, Barnel, Corona, and Snap-Cut as well as some less-familiar brands like Pica, Castellari and STA-FOR. We stock replacement parts, where available, for every pruner that we sell—if you don't see replacement parts here for your pruner, give us a call!

National Survey Reveals The Lincoln Motor Company and GMC know how to satisfy consumers.
TUSTIN, Calif., June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AutoPacific today announced its 18th annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA), identifying the most satisfying vehicles on the market.
AutoPacific's Vehicle Satisfaction Awards objectively measure owner satisfaction with 50 separate attributes ranging from interior comfort and convenience to fuel economy and performance. "Vehicles that score highest in the Vehicle Satisfaction Awards are delivering value and satisfaction across a wide range of attributes," says George Peterson, president of AutoPacific. "The winners perform well in 50 separate categories that objectively measure the ownership experience." An industry benchmark for measuring how satisfied an owner is with his/her new vehicle, AutoPacific's VSA are based on the results of responses from over 92,000 new vehicle owners.
For 2014, the most satisfying brands are Lincoln, Top Premium Brand and GMC, Top Popular Brand. The vehicle - car or truck - registering highest overall satisfaction is the new-for-2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class that also wins AutoPacific's second President's Award for achieving the highest VSA score ever. The truck with the highest overall satisfaction score is the new BMW X5 Premium Luxury Crossover SUV.
"With the launch of each new car and truck, carmakers try to improve the product and increase the satisfaction of their buyers," explains Peterson. "By surveying a substantial number of owners who have purchased a new 2014 model year vehicle, AutoPacific's VSA provides an objective measurement of how well the makers are doing. More than one-third of new vehicle buyers are positively influenced by objective awards based on owner ratings when deciding on a new car or truck."
The awards in 2014 are much more diverse than they have been in previous years, with no single manufacturer dominating the results. Multiple top-ranked award winners are: Chevrolet with four winners; Lincoln with three winners; Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Kia, and GMC with two winners each.
The brands that improved their relative ranking positions in 2014 compared with 2013 are: GMC moving from 17th to 8th position; Lincoln moving from 6th position to 1st position; Ford moving from 25th to 19th; Chevrolet moving from 21st to 16th. Brands with the largest drop in position were Volkswagen moving from 16th to 28th position and Jaguar dropping from 7th to 17th.
"AutoPacific's Vehicle Satisfaction Awards help vehicle buyers sort through an increasingly complicated selection of brands and models. For the 2014 model year, there are 274 models and 32 brands from which to choose a new vehicle. The VSA clearly shows the buyers which vehicles are at the top of the class they are considering," says Peterson.
Top 2014 model year performers are:

this release is the third part of the transall cycle. transall approaches with the problematics of speed, the vision of utopia and the dissolution of our ideas into fragments.
alva noto a.k.a. carsten nicolai states:
... speed of data-flow is equivalent to the speed of our time. in an era when virtual products of our ideas are expanding, we are simultaneously positioning a calm point in which to settle ourselves.
text, image, vector graphic - storage files, were translated into raw audio data as the source material from which constellations of diffused sound start to form. special emphasis is put on the rhythmic aspect of the digitalised and rasterised data. the tools of their transformation reveal themselves by the structure of the recordings.
by the restricting itself to simple and transparent mechanisms, this process becomes independent from existing standards and gains autonomy. ...
ulf poschardt (d) was approached to accompany the cd with a sleeve note, in regard to the content of the release. the text hopefully allows the audience a wider insight into the themes behind the recordings.

Western states are struggling to figure out how to capture the methane emissions from coal mines.
The West in your Inbox

The final game of the first round of SB Nation's NBA 3 on 3 Tournament is the 2-15 mismatch in the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder versus the Sacramento Kings.
There may not be much intrigue concerning the outcome of this series, but there's plenty of controversy surrounding the three players selected to represent the Thunder. J.A. Sherman of Welcome to Loud City chose to play this tournament with Kevin Durant (duh), Russell Westbrook (natch) and Nick Collison (wait, what?). No Sixth Man of the Year James Harden, no runner-up to the Defensive Player of the Year Serge Ibaka. I actually get it, and have mad respect for Sherman's decision to go with the solid but unspectacular Collison -- there's plenty of spectacular on that team already, they could use some solid. But it's a huge risk. After all, no IT Manager ever lost their job imaginary job for picking fictional IBM.
The Kings threesome is comprised of Isaiah Thomas, Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins and guess what, that's not bad. Both Evans and Cousins have struggled at times to be efficient and effective NBA players, but they could be monsters at 3 on 3, and Thomas will be a blur out there. Unfortunately they're up against a team that's absolutely loaded -- even with Collison.
Let's see what our panel of experts has to say.
- Andrew Sharp, SB Nation NBA -- Oklahoma City wins 12 of 20
- Steve Perrin, SB Nation NBA, Clips Nation -- Oklahoma City wins 16 of 20
- J.R. Wilco, Pounding the Rock -- Oklahoma City wins 19 of 20
- Frank Madden, Brew Hoop -- Oklahoma City wins 16 of 20
- Adam Francis, Raptors HQ -- Oklahoma City wins 17 of 20
- Overall probabilities -- Oklahoma City 80 percent; Sacramento 20 percent
Expert Comments:
Really wanted to pick Sacramento here, for two reasons. First, because the Kings trio is WAY TOO AWESOME. The Other Isaiah, 'Reke Havoc, and DMC... That's a bandwagon I want to be on, even if it's eventually destined to end in a fiery death for everyone. Second, because seriously OKC deserves to lose just for picking Collison over Ibaka or Harden. Alas, in the spirit of taking this imaginary tournament seriously, there's no way OKC would actually get upset here. It'd be closer than you think, though. -- Sharp
We're finding out in London and elsewhere that Durant is on an entirely different level. OKC could put any two other roster players with him, and they'd still have a chance to win this thing. How exactly do you stop him in this format? -- Perrin
When I think of this Thunder team's first round matchup with the Kings, the image of a cat playing with a mouse comes to mind -- and I'm still not sure that truly captures the dominance involved. Just imagine what these games would've been like if, instead of twos and threes, we were following the actual FIBA 3 on 3 rules of one point for shots inside the arc and two for outside! -- Wilco
A talented entry from the Kings but one that faces an even more talented entry from the Thunder. Cousins helps Sacto bull their way to a few wins, but Collison's D negates a lot of what he does, and Durant and Westbrook are nearly unstoppable in this format. -- Francis
The Bottom Line
Despite some consternation with the selection of Collison and some real respect for the talent of this Kings' threesome, the Thunder are still four-to-one favorites to win any single game in this series. Overall, they have close to a 90 percent chance of advancing. Collison will have his hands full with Cousins, and the fact that Evans doesn't have a clear position in the NBA won't matter here, but no one is stopping Durant, so this should be OKC's series.
Now it's up to the dice. The Kings will be looking for rolls of 81 or higher.
Let us know what you think about this matchup.
The results will be posted at 5 p.m. ET.

I have never liked the fake biners for light duty non-climbing use. Just buy a real climbing biner that is about the same price, way better quality and could really be used in the case of an emergency.
Yes, I do have one of these only because it's a gift.

Awesome key chain, better than the .99 carabiner @ home depot.
Middle, or large is best, small one not ideal fro more than 2 keys.
I use the middle one for 2 car keys w/ remotes, couple house keys and a bunch of those stupid plastic store "cards" and a small gerber pocket knife.

Like many others, SB Nation's Buffalo Rumblings isn't a fan of assigning letter grades to a draft 48 hours after it's over. So they've taken a different approach in evaluating their class:
Rather than make bold predictions about the team's future prospects and the possible career outcomes of these athletes, we'll scale it back a bit and grade each new Bill based purely on the type of utility that the team will get out of them as a rookie.
In other words, rookie impact.
The Bills have the player who could make the most impact of all rookies in this class -- RB C.J. Spiller.
Chan Gailey will need to be creative in the way he uses Spiller, not only to mask the rookie's deficiencies (running between the tackles, pass protection), but to maximize his ability to make game-breaking plays. He'll run, catch, return kicks and punts, and you may even see him operate the Wildcat a time or two.
Spiller received an A. As a whole, Buffalo Rumblings gave the Bills a C+ in terms of rookie impact.
Here are all of the Bills draft picks:
RB C.J. Spiller
NT Torell Troup
DE Alex Carrington
WR Marcus Easley
OT Ed Wang
ILB Arthur Moats
OLB Danny Batten
QB Levi Brown
OG Kyle Calloway
Check out the excellent write-ups and individual grades of each player in the Bills draft class over at Buffalo Rumblings.

The Chiefs announced Tuesday the hiring of Dave Toub as the team's new special-teams coordinator.
The Chicago Bears have agreed to a five-year contract with Bushrod, filling a major hole on the offensive line. The Bears announced the signing Tuesday.||||||| A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that the deal is potentially worth about $36 million, with $17.7 million guaranteed. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms had not been released. Bushrod was drafted in the fourth round by New Orleans in 2007. He started on the Bears' 2009 championship team and made the Pro Bowl the past two seasons.
Bushrod's agent, Richard Rosa, says the two-year starter on New Orleans' offensive line has reached a two-year deal with New Orleans. He did not disclose financial terms.||||||| The Saints acquired the 6-foot-5, 315-pound Bushrod in the fourth round of the 2007 draft out of Towson. He did not play a single offensive snap for his first two seasons, but after Jammal Brown was traded to Washington, he started in 2009 for the Saints' run to their first Super Bowl title and started every game last season.
Bushrod is returning to New Orleans, where the man known as "Big Neck" by Saints teammates could find stiff competition to retain his starting left tackle spot.||||||| Bushrod's agent, Rich Rosa, said his client was set to sign a tender offer of about $1.7 million on Tuesday. "It's a great opportunity for him," Rosa said. "He played at a very high level last year and he's very happy, obviously, that he'll have a Super Bowl ring on his finger."
Bushrod hurt his right leg in the second quarter of the Saints' home game against the Lions on Sunday.||||||| Bushrod, in his third season, was making his first NFL start because Jammal Brown has been sidelined for weeks by a sports hernia and hip injury. A 2007 fourth-round draft choice out of Towson, Bushrod had to be helped off the field, putting little weight on his right leg. He was replaced by Zach Strief.
Bushrod was inactive for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.||||||| Bushrod, a fourth-round pick by the Saints in 2007, has not appeared in a game in his NFL career.

The students, along with staff members and graduate assistants, spent four days in the Virginia mountains, divided into a service group and an outdoor adventure group, then returned to UMW for two days of teambuilding activities. "Initially they were a bit shy about connecting and getting to know each other," said Mark Mermelstein, director of campus recreation and the leader of the outdoor adventure group.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — PLAISTOW — The final score may not reflect it but, except for two drives in the first quarter, the Timberlane defense did its part last night.
It was the Owls' offense that let down in a misleading 42-13 loss to perennial power Bishop Guertin.
The Cardinals did put 21 points on the board in the first quarter, but one came after an interception and, after racking up 177 yards in that opening period, they only had 122 yards the rest of the game.
Offensively, however, the Owls had little consistency. They did score in the first quarter on a 43-yard pass from Erik Nelson to Ryan McCarthy, who came back nicely to make a nifty grab. But their only other TD came late in the fourth following a fine 40-yard kickoff return by McCarthy and a terrific 27-yard reception by Josh David, who stripped the ball from a defender on what seemed like a sure interception.
Between those two scores, the Timberlane offense struggled, collecting just five first downs and throwing four interceptions, two of which led directly to touchdowns. Bishop Guertin also scored on an 85-yard kickoff return.
"After the first quarter, I thought we played very well defensively," said Timberlane coach Kevin Fitzgerald. "We just didn't have enough offense ... except for last week, we've had problems putting together a good offense game and a good defensive game."
Defensive leaders: Leading the resurgent defense after the first quarter for the Owls were Cam Gargano, Dan Scalzo, Billy Joyce and Jamie Saltamacchia. Scalzo, a 5-foot-7, 150-pound sophomore who is a standout wrestler, did a fine job as an undersized defensive end.
Versatile player: McCarthy caught four passes for 80 yards, returned a short kickoff 40 yards and made several hard tackles coming up from the secondary.
Sign for the future: Freshman Tyler Furey ran the ball hard for 20 tough yards.

South America makes up the southern half of the Americas and a large part of Latin America. It's home to the world's longest mountain range, biggest waterfall and largest river -- even these mammoths pale in comparison to the stunning variety of life forms thriving in the rainforest.
To the northwest, off the coast of Ecuador, lie the Galapagos Islands, which are unique for hosting species not found anywhere else on earth. These were the subject of study for Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution, which he himself said will require proof in every single case.
The main languages in South America are Spanish and Portugese, which basically tells you which European countries colonized the place. The South American wars of independence took place over two decades in the early 19th century, led by Simon Bolivar of Venezuela and Jose san Martin of Argentina.
Following liberation from Portugal and Spain, South America took off into its own development, capitalizing on the rich deposits of oil, gold, copper, silver and tango musicians.
Brazil is the largest country in South America and home to one of the world's best parties, Carnaval. Have you heard of samba music? How about bossa nova? Maybe dancing for three days straight?
I can't say enough good things about South America. All the world's continents have amazing secrets and treasures laying in wait for your discovery, but in South America... just have a look at our pictures while you're waiting for online confirmation of your plane tickets to hit your inbox.

- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Brush the oil over the bottom and sides of a 25 x 19 x 5cm ovenproof dish. Put the milk, garlic, 4 thyme sprigs, bay leaf and shallot into a saucepan. Bring just to the boil, then remove from the heat and add the nutmeg and a little pepper. Set aside to infuse.
- Peel then slice the potatoes very thinly. Pat them dry. Layer half the slices in the dish, overlapping slightly, then season.
- Strain the infused milk into a jug. Put the crème fraîche into a bowl, then gradually pour in the milk, whisking until smooth. Add the stock and thyme leaves. Return this liquid to the jug, then pour half of it over the potatoes in the dish. Layer up the rest of the potatoes, then add remaining liquid, the cheese and a grind of pepper. Sit the dish on a baking sheet and bake for 1¼-1½ hrs until golden and tender – test by inserting a sharp knife through the potatoes. Stand for 5 mins before serving, sprinkled with thyme sprigs.

Comments, questions and tips
I was unable to get Creme Fraiche or Guyere Cheese here in our local shops in Mauritius - so I used half light cooking cream and thick natural yoghurt and Emmental cheese.
Guests loved it - tasted delicious.
I am getting used to a new cooker and overdid one of the 2 dishes I did of this, so I removed it from the oven and poured some semi skimmed milk in any gaps and let it stand for 40 mins, the milk was soaked up and it tasted delicious.
I also used reduced fat creme fraiche and skimmed milk as wanted to reduce the fat content. However I think I'd rather stick to the full fat version as was watery and tasteless. I also think I would put garlic into the dish rather than just infusing the milk as just wasn't garlicky enough for me. I also had to cook it for a longer time - perhaps my thin slices of potato weren't thin enough!
