JOHNSTOWN, Pa. —
Meanwhile, parents and students can use a Web portal to report bullying allegations. Those too must be investigated, Townsend said.
Freiwald said New Jersey's state education officials are able to review the information – with individual names redacted – to spot areas where bullying instances are high.
"They want to see the trends," she added.
Other states are considering bills patterned after New Jersey's law, Pennsylvania among them. A bipartisan group of 95 state representatives is working to push the Pa. Safe Schools (Pass) Act through the House.
Hurst writes for The Tribune-Democrat in Johnstown, Pa.

A Virginia man reportedly posed as a CIA agent to hide that he was married to two women.
David Jin Lee, 26, of Williamsburg, is married to a sailor based in Norfolk. He told her he was a CIA agent, authorities told WRC-TV in Washington, D.C.
Lee emailed his wife saying he needed money because he had been captured and tortured by North Korean agents on a mission to China. His story fell apart when the Naval Criminal Investigative Service started investigating and found out he had been staying at a Fairfax home with another woman.
Further interviews and searches revealed Lee was married to the Fairfax woman and had a child with her, authorities said. A marriage certificate at the Fairfax County Courthouse offered further proof. Bigamy is a felony in Virginia.
NCIS investigators took a CIA coin, a gun and items that could have been used to make fake CIA badges from the Fairfax home, reports WRC. Lee was tracked down in Williamsburg and arrested there.
Both families are cooperating and police call both victims.
"It's not every day that someone will go to these lengths to perpetrate such a fraud or a con against someone, and it seems to be, at least on the surface, pretty sophisticated and has been able to dupe, unfortunately, dupe two young ladies into his fraud," Buckley told WRC.

Ipswich High senior Natalie Soliozy will sign her National Letter of Intent to continue playing lacrosse at Division 1 Johns Hopkins University on Monday afternoon.
Soliozy, an attack who has consistently been one of the top players in the Cape Ann League for the past few years, was named CAL Division 2 Player of the Year last spring. She led the Tigers to a 13-3 regular season record and helped them advance to the Division 2 North final against Winchester.
Johns Hopkins, in Baltimore, Md., is a national lacrosse power, last year finishing as the 15th-ranked team in the country.

Wow-we actually got some hay into bales today - not without challenges - solved the old farmer way. So the rear clutch plate at the flywheel gave up. Gotta get the hay in - take her up the barn - move the front clutch plate to the back, tighten the hell out it - keep baling. We know the field and there are no rocks or wood so we're comfortable doing that. Will order new clutch disks Monday.
The baler is old as heck, but if you don't push it the knotters perform pretty well. Instead of 90 rpm on the plunger we need to run closer to 65-70 rpm's.
Old Dad at 94 had to get out and watch his grandson bale hay.....Gotta love the farm life.

After a month of testing, the Sioux City police department is ready to roll out its new automatic license plate reader.
Whether the patrol car is moving through traffic or parked and running radar, the optical character readers mounted on top of the patrol car can catch criminals in an instant.
With each hit, a picture of the car and other important information pops up on the officer's screen.
It's big improvement from they way license plates were read in the past.
"We didn't have technology like this before. An officer would physically have to be looking for license plates. Basically be close enough and be behind cars primarily or if you can watch cars coming at you it's pretty difficult to catch a plate as it's driving by," said Sioux City Police Captain Marti Reilly.
So far, the reader has turned up mostly expired plates, but can also be used in cases involving stolen vehicles, warrants, and even amber alerts.

The 1D X and 5D Mark III can lock the focus in low light while the 6D is giving up.
Outer focus points, yes. Center, no. Enough of these "amateur" categories. A lot of professionals were shooting and still are shooting with 5D2 which we can say is beaten/on par on almost all camera features by 6D. I'm sorry but I disagree with you when you put 6D as an amateur camera. I can even remember when all cameras were still using MF and yet those cameras were not considered amateur by anybody.

So I am 125 lbs right now (6' 0") and I have been trying to gain about 25 more for about a half a year now. I was eating complete junk food for probably the first 3 months (I was 110 lbs back then and gained 15 lbs in 3 months by eating just junk food!) but my skin and mood suffered. So I decided that I would rather be skinny with no acne than normal sized with tons of acne. I went on a water/fruit/vegetable/whole wheat bread diet for the last 3 months. I was extremely strict when it came to the diet but I ended up staying the same weight the whole time I was on it.
Recently, I've been trying to go half junk food and half healthy food to gain weight but it's still not working. Within the last month I've tried a very high calorie diet (probably +4000) and I'm still not gaining weight. It feels like I hit a wall somehow. :/ Oh, and I forgot to mention that for the whole 6 months, I have been doing an hour long workout every other day (which have given me extremely good results in regards to muscle tone but I'm still the same weight).
One of the big questions I have is how much protein should someone like me have in a day? Should I gradually increase the amount of protein I have? In what form should I have this protein? I'm on a $100 a week budget for food shopping so what should I be looking for when I'm shopping? I kind of want to stay away from the supplements cause of the price but I would try some if some of you have seen good results from any.
Eat more, what ever you are eating double it.
Are you sure that you're counting calories correctly? I'd be very surprised if you can't gain on 4000+ per day at your weight.

1) You say you "probably got +4000 Calories" a day which tells me you didn't record it daily. What happens to most people is they think they are eating 4k a day when in reality, once or twice a week they may get 4k, but the other days of the week are only 2k. You simply aren't eating enouggh.
2) What is your workout? When you say you got good "tone" from it, it sounds like you perhaps lost body fat since "toning" is simply the amount of tension in a muscle at rest. You may be doing too much with what you are eating.
3) if you want cheap Calories and protein, you might try whole milk throughout the day. Simply put, you just aren't eating enough to gain weight. Eat more or stay skinny.

Generally, if you read a piece of advice on the internet, assume it's wrong until proven otherwise. This applies especially to "conventional wisdom". -Belial
A big issue I want you to know is that whenever I've been eating like I said above, I weigh myself right before I go to sleep and I'm usually 128 or 129, so about 3 pounds heavier. But when I wake up in the morning I'm back to 123-125. Could this possibly be related to sleep? Cause on 5 of the 7 days of the week I am sleeping anywhere from 10 to 14 hours a night.
2.) My workout is mostly upper body/abdominal area. It usually consists of a couple sets of pushups, one handed pushups, lifting various weights, pull ups, wrist curls, 3 different kinds of crunches, and a couple sets of jackknives. After the workout I can literally see the results in the mirror and I'm always satisfied obviously cause I look bigger. (For example, my biceps are taller, meaning they look big from the side, but they aren't very wide because I'm guessing I need to gain more weight) But a big problem occurs after I take a shower after workout - I usually always have a glass of water, a tuna fish sandwich, and an apple after workout, but I feel REALLY skinny for the rest of the night, I don't know why. Should I think about buying things to make a shake of some sort after my workout? Also, since I've noticed I've been getting a gut, I have been doing strictly abdominal workouts every day. On my non-workout days, I do 1100 crunches and 100 jackknives in a span of about 20-25 minutes. On my workout days, I do the usual two sets of 200 crunches and 50 jacknives - which isn't that much cause I'm trying to target my upper body. I've been doing that routine for about a week and haven't seen many results yet. :/
3.) I could try whole milk definitely since I haven't given that a try yet. But I've heard that overconsumption of dairy products could possibly lead to bad acne? I used to have some acne and pretty much got over it, but I really don't want to go back to having acne again.
You're right. Keep doing what you're doing. You'll look like Zyzz in no time.
Everything you are saying is wrong. I could type pages and pages of advice but everything I would say has already been said on this forum a billion times. Go to the articles on this site, read all of them. Go to elitefts.com, go to articles, search for the ones that have bulk, diet, etc in the title. Read all of them. Then come back with any more questions you might still have. I bulked from 95lbs the summer before high school to 170 when I graduated. It's not that complicated after you've read all what I've told you to read.
If you choose not to read and take advice of people who know what they're talking about, I wouldn't be surprised if you are <135 next year (which is basically anorexic at 6', regardless of what you perceive yourself as in the mirror through your own eyes) doing what you're doing.

First, when you're 125 lbs and 6 foot, there's no way you have a gut. Chances are you're just so incredibly skinny your stomach is sticking out making it appear as if you have a gut.
Second, you should be eating at least half a cow a day. I mean, you should be able to look at food and gain weight.

This one is so my speed, I just don't have the patience.
OP, you need to really get some solid knowledge before you ask questions.
1. You're not eating nearly enough
2. You're not consistent
3. Your workout is terrible, at best
4. You make excuses
5. Pick 1 goal and achieve it. You can't serve 2 masters
Read and educate yourself. Eat while you're doing it.
A few notes:
1. in all honesty it sounds like you need to visit with a clinical dietitian specializing in eating disorders.
2. doing ab exercises doesnt eliminate fat around your stomach
3. the weight differential w/ sleeping is from water loss. not fat.
4. Stop starving yourself during the day and binging at night. Eat protein and carbs all day. Just cause your in college is seriously the worst excuse. I competitively bodybuilt all through college.
5. More consistency, more dedication, less rationalizing and excuses.
Its harsh, but its honest

1. Listen to the advice of the posts above
2. Read the FAQ's ; you are supposed to read them before posting
3. Read a book on thermodynamics so that you can understand the calorie balance
4. Track your calories on a website with CONSISTENCY.

Yo broski your 125lbs stop worrying so much about having a gut. Eat more and get yourself on a good routine.
1.That is not 4000+ calories. And ab workouts are not going to do a thing for your belly fat. To lose fat you must diet. At your height and weight though I doubt that you have much of a gut to lose. And if you want to gain weight (muscle) some fat is going to come along with it as well.So on my 5 off days, I have 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, one tuna fish sandwich, probably 2 or 3 granola bars throughout the day, a bowl of cereal at night, a full size bagel usually in the mornings, and I try to eat 1000 calories just for dinner every night.
As far as the differing weight issue goes, you weight more at night because you have food in your stomach. Not so in the morning hence why you weight less. This is normal.
2. Your workout is garbage. You look bigger afterwards because your muscles are pumped full of blood. But this is temporary. The results do not last. It seems that you are just working chest, abs and arms. You are not going to see a lot of results from that...plus you are setting yourself up for potential injury due to muscular imbalance.
You must work legs and back to get the most out of your workouts. These are the biggest muscles in your body. Start learning to squat and deadlift for starters.
And be patient. Rome wasn't built in a day. Of course you aren't going to see much results in a week...or even a month. Think in terms of years. This is a long slow process for most of us.
3. Whole milk is a good weight gainer. Others (high protein) include beef, chicken, tuna...there are plenty of other alternatives
If you're worried more about acne than anorexia, carry on, otherwise, fix your workout program to something where you move heavy weights (StrongLifts 5x5 sets up a good foundation), and even more importantly, eat until you're about to puke, wait a few minutes, then eat more.
A good diet for you would be anything that you can get your hands on. Aim for 250 grams of protein and 4000 actual calories. Eat chicken, peanut butter, pizza, who cares, its all delicious and it'll make you bigger.
You can do it man.

I want you to know is that whenever I've been consuming like I said above, I think about myself right before I go to rest and I'm usually 128 or 129, so about 3 weight bulkier. But when I awaken in the day I'm returning to 123-125....
Listen to the advice that was given. Why are abs your goal when you weigh 125? At best you will continue to portray your anorexic image.

There are several things going on with a tweet link.
The actual href is always replaced with a t.co URL, to help you fit into the 140 characters (even if you've got plenty of characters left).
The link has rel="nofollow" on it, so search engines are not necessarily going to pay it a whole load of attention - it doesn't really matter that your own URL isn't there.
There is an attribute called data-expanded-url added to the link, with the full and genuine URL as the value, so any robots who are interested can get the genuine URL without having to go through the t.co redirect.
If your URL is short enough (28 chars?) it is displayed intact in the tweet, otherwise it is truncated.
Off Topic:
I do have to laugh the way so many tweeters go to the effort of shortening their URLs on bit.ly, ow.ly or many others when they could just bung the whole URL in there and let Twitter sort it all out. Still, I suppose it hides the fact that they're usually using stupid ugly long URLs that they shouldn't have in the first place ... but then I like to laugh at any organisation that uses a shortened URL in any of its official publicity ... have they not heard of 301 redirects?

Steve Spurrier just can't help himself. He can't lay off obsessing about Georgia's schedule.
The question was about the perceived advantage of the open date on South Carolina's schedule before the Gamecocks' Nov. 10 game against Arkansas. But South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier veered in a different direction with the answer.
"You think I make the schedule?" Spurrier said from the podium at SEC Media Days. "If I made the schedule, Georgia would be playing LSU, and we'd be playing Ole Miss."
The schedule says otherwise, of course — South Carolina at LSU on Oct. 13 and Georgia vs. Ole Miss in Athens on Nov. 3.
Spurrier didn't make more of the issue, quickly moving on by saying: "Not complaining about that other part I mentioned there."
Yeah, sure. That would mark a change.
On CSS tonight-Spurrier says he asked how Georgia got to play Ole Miss.Was told "someone needed a home game and someone needed an away game"—
brady ackerman (@bradyack) July 17, 2012
It's real simple. The OBC ain't coaching another twenty years. (He's probably not coaching another five, if you want to get down to it.) He's clearly elevated the Gamecock program from where it was before he got there. But he doesn't have that conference championship ring he wants. And he's watching his best players leave – Jeffery after last year, Lattimore after this year, Clowney after next year, most likely. He knows that window is closing.
Spurrier after being asked about impatience: "Patience? You're asking about patience? Do you know what I've been through the last 4 years?"—
Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) July 17, 2012
That's why the scheduling stuff is eating at him. He doesn't have a twenty-year horizon to wait on for things to even out.
I don't know if the schedule is going to be the deciding factor that gets Georgia back to the SECCG this year. I have my doubts it's going to matter as much as many think it might. But if it turns out to be the case, I wouldn't be surprised if it hurts Spurrier as much as Bill Stanfill did in 1966.

Lynn plays both teams on the road this season.
That's only part of the brutal schedule facing first-year Lynn head coach Jon Randolph in 2013. The Bears also host Hubbertville and Berry, a pair of teams that reached the quarterfinals in 2012.
Lynn went through peaks and valleys in 2012. A great start was done in by a miserable second half as the Bears missed the playoffs for the first time since 2004.
The Bears' playoff chances were looking good halfway through the season with a 4-1 record going into Week 6. That's when Lynn lost to Marion County, starting a four-game losing streak that ended the Bears' postseason hopes.
Four of Lynn's first five opponents this year had losing records in 2012. The first five foes combined to go 22-33 last season while the last five opponents went a combined 40-22.
Lynn opens the season with a road game at rival Winston County. The Bears have won four in a row in the series, including last year's 38-25 home victory.
In Week 2, the Bears open the home schedule with a game against Brilliant, a team Lynn has defeated seven straight times. Lynn won last year's game 28-7.
Week 3 involves a road trip to Pickens County. The Tornadoes went 11-3 last season, losing to Marion County 41-40 in their state semifinal game. Last year marked the first meeting between Pickens County and Lynn with the Tornadoes earning a 42-0 win.
In Week 4, Lynn hosts a South Lamar team that went 0-10 last year. The Bears are riding a five-game win streak against the Stallions and won last year's game 27-0.
Lynn makes the trip to Cullman County to take on the Cold Springs Eagles in a non-region game in Week 5. Cold Springs snapped a 35-game losing streak last year, winning three games. Lynn won last year's meeting 21-0.
Lynn's schedule gets considerably harder starting with a Week 6 trip to Marion County.
The state runner up Red Raiders have won three straight games against the Bears, winning by a total of 59 points over the last two years combined. Marion County has gone 27-3 over the last two seasons, winning a state title in 2011.
Lynn hosts Berry in Week 7. The Wildcats advanced to the third round of the state playoffs for the first time in school history last year. Despite holding Berry to its second-lowest point total of the season, Lynn fell to the Wildcats 22-6 last season.
The Bears head to Parrish for another key 1A, Region 5 matchup in Week 8. Parrish snapped a six-game losing streak to Lynn in 2012 with a 44-31 victory. Like Lynn, the Tornadoes finished 5-5 last season.
Lynn closes out the regular season with a pair of home games. Hubbertville makes its way to Lynn in Week 9. The Lions ended a nine-game losing streak to the Bears last year, winning 33-18.
The Bears close out the regular season with a game against county rival Meek. Lynn has owned the series in recent years, winning the last nine meetings, including a 14-0 win last year.

Home review: there's no place like hell

You'll discover secret passageways, explore creepy forests, and uncover clues to dark secrets in your life. Above all else, you'll craft your own narrative. Home is as much a choose your own adventure novel as a game, but the subtle story it tells is disturbing and unique enough to hold...

Horror indie game Home porting to PS4 and Vita this year
By Dave Tach on Mar 17, 2014 03.17.14
Home, the retro-styled horror game from independent developer Benjamin Rivers, is headed to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in 2014, the developer announced today on the PlayStation Blog. Home first launched for PC in 2012 and arrived on iOS last year. It will make its PlayStation debut with the additional content included in the previous versions. "Home received several updates after its original launch to add content and extra features, and everything that's in the game is making the trek to PlayStation," Rivers wrote. "Will you find anything new in this version of Home?

Online games a 'playground' for organized crime, according to security expert
By Jenna Pitcher on Aug 22, 2013 08.22.13
Online games are a "playground" for organized crime and cyber criminals, JD Sherry, vice president of technology and solutions at Trend Micro said following the news that League of Legends accounts were compromised. Earlier this week, account information - usernames, email addresses, salted password hashes, and some first and last names - for some North American League of Legends players were "compromised" by hackers. Riot was also "investigating that approximately 120,000 transaction records from 2011 that contained hashed and salted credit card numbers have been accessed." The increase of free-to-play online gaming across all platforms over the years "have opened the doors to micro-transactions in-game."

PlayStation Vita is ready for a renaissance
By Colin Campbell on Aug 21, 2013 08.21.13
At its Gamescom conference yesterday, Sony introduced a significant price cut to both its models of PS Vita and showed off the machine's Remote Play feature with a PlayStation 4 demo of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. Perhaps just as significant was the shotgun blast of indie games announced for the handheld, as well as the appearance of a series of respected independent developers who were willing to wax effusive about the machine, despite its difficult first 18 months on the market. Tellingly, Sony won't release sales numbers of PS Vita, though there's no doubt that it falls into the "niche" category, a long way away from its maker's mass-market aspirations. But the machine is adding to its list of benefits, seeking to emulate the success of its predecessor, the PSP. Despite strong...

Watch a drone being controlled by the Oculus Rift
By Alexa Ray Corriea on Jul 25, 2013 07.25.13
Intuitive Aerial, a group that uses camera technology to create airborne rigs, outfitted a drone with an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, allowing users to control the flying box and see from its point of view remotely. The video above demonstrates this setup. The drone carries a laptop that is connected back to the Oculus Rift, feeding it images via wireless internet. The person controlling the drone through the Oculus will see everything the drone encounters rather than a digital representation of objects. The laptop compresses the video recorded by the rig's two cameras and sends them back to the viewer in realtime. The only catch is the range on the rig: since the communication to the Oculus depends on Wi-fi, transmissions will stop between 50 and 100 meters. "We have dreamed...

Lenses / Re: Waiting for the 35 1.4L II« on: June 01, 2014, 11:20:05 AM »
I have had 3 copies of the 24 L II and I was very impressed with the feel of the lens and except the lens hood, very nice build quality. But that's it. I didn't like it at all IQ wise and AF was absolutely useless.
May I ask what you did not like about the IQ of the 24 L II?
Yes you may! Mine wasn't very sharp, both because of AF issues and I didn't have a great copy, it had annoying CA. The things I liked about it was the 1.4 of course, superb color and good contrast. But I always liked the 35 L better for AF and focal length. If I had one with the AF as good as the 35 and sharpness to match I might like better.
OK, thank you. I also own a 24 L II and I find the image quality amazing. Admittedly, the AF could be a bit faster, but it focuses very reliably on my 5d, even at f/1.4 without AFMA (which the 5d does not have). I guess I had luck with my copy.

ATLANTA (AP) - Bigger-than-expected storm damage is causing Georgia Power to seek more money from customers for repairs.
The Southern Co. subsidiary wants to collect about $37 million annually over a three-year period to cover the cost of repairing its electricity system after storms. That's a doubling of the current collections.
Power company officials say Georgia suffered a series of expensive storms. Ice storms in January 2011 caused havoc with power equipment. An outbreak of tornadoes in April 2011 also caused extensive damage.
Regulators on the Public Service Commission are considering the request as part of a larger rate plan.

What's next for Browns' offense?
At his introductory press conference on Friday, Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski shed some light on his offensive philosophy.
The Browns signed Nelson to a one-year contract Monday.||||||| Nelson, who played three seasons for Buffalo, is coming off a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered in last season's opener. The 6-foot-5, 214-pounder started 17 games for the Bills, who signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2010. Nelson had 94 catches for 1,042 yards and eight touchdowns with the Bills. In 2011, he was second on the club in catches (61) and receiving yards (658). He also had five TDs.
Nelson is preparing to become a free agent after the Buffalo Bills informed the third-year player they will not extend him a contract offer to retain his rights. General manager Buddy Nix says he informed Nelson's agent of the decision Sunday. The Bills reached a similar decision with receiver Donald Jones earlier this month.||||||| The move wasn't entirely a surprise for Nelson, who anticipated the possibility after the Bills fired coach Chan Gailey. Doug Marrone was hired to take over last month. An undrafted free agent out of Florida, Nelson was a dependable contributor during his first two years, with a combined 92 catches for 1,011 yards and eight touchdowns. Last year, he never made it past the season opener, when he tore a right knee ligament.
Nelson was placed on injured reserve this week.||||||| Nelson will miss the rest of the season after tearing a ligament in his right knee during Buffalo's 48-28 loss at the New York Jets in the opener.
A person familiar with Buffalo Bills receiver David Nelson's injury says the player has a torn ligament in his right knee and is expected to miss the rest of the season. Nelson was hurt early into the fourth quarter of Sunday's 48-24 loss to the New York Jets when he went down away from the play. After being helped off the field, he was spotted walking on the injured leg along the sideline.||||||| The person provided the update on Monday after Nelson had tests Monday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the team has not provided an update. The third year player had become a favorite target of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick last season, when he finished second on the team with 61 catches for 658 yards and five touchdowns.
Nelson and center Eric Wood are among the regulars who have been ruled out by coach Chan Gailey from playing in the team's preseason opener against the Washington Redskins on Thursday.||||||| Nelson was limited to participating in individual drills on Monday in his first practice since spraining his right knee on July 28, three days into training camp.

Phase I TENSION BUILDING PHASE
(This phase can last days, weeks, months and sometimes even years)
The initial infatuation of the relationship fades, and the women attempts to stop this by pleasing, placating or staying out of his way. She thinks she can change his behavior through her actions. When this doesn't change or stop his abuse, she withdraws. The man feels rejected and tries harder to control her activities. At this point, a woman who has experienced violence/abuse before knows that an abusive incident will inevitably happen.
Phase II EXPLOSIVE/VIOLENCE STAGE
(This phase can last anywhere from a few moments to a few days)
Some from abusive incident occurs. This is often a physical attack, but can be psychological, verbal and/or emotional. This discharges the stress and tension for abuser. After the abusive incident, the man feels instant relief The woman often experiences shock, denial and/or disbelief that the assault occurred. It is during this phase that the police are usually called, and a majority of women seek safe shelter.
Phase III "HONEYMOON" PHASE
(This immediately follows phase Il and typically lasts longer, but is shorter than phase I)
The abuser becomes tender and apologetic, and often sends flowers or gifts, cries, begs her forgiveness and promises to never do it again (he truly believes he won't). He will take action to demonstrate his sincere desire to change, however his prime motivation is to get her back, not to get help for himself.
Research shows that any recovery/counseling program he enters must be actively worked at for 2 years to see any changes in behavior. It is this phase that keeps the woman in the relationship because she is finally getting the love and attention she wants from him. Women often say that he is back to the man they fell in love with.
Adapted from the book The Battered Woman by Lenore Walker. Ms. Walker emphasizes that in most abusive relationships, violence or any form of assault does not happen randomly, it follows this very predictable 3-phase cycle.

The Champions Dinner has been an annual tradition at The Masters since 1952, when Ben Hogan suggested and hosted the first dinner.
The idea is simple: Winners of The Masters are members of an exclusive club, so they get together each year on the Tuesday night of tournament week to welcome the previous year's winner to the club. That club is officially known as the Masters Club, but unofficially the gathering is called the Champions Dinner.
The previous year's winner gets to select the menu - and he also has to pay for producing that menu. Over the years, the dinner fare has ranged from cheeseburgers to sushi to haggis*.
But the former champs aren't required to eat what the defending champion selects. If the reigning champ's taste isn't to the taste of other Masters winners in the room, they can order off Augusta National's regular menu (which includes steaks, chicken and fish dishes).
Our favorite Champions Dinner menu was the one offered by Tiger Woods in 1998: cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, french fries and milkshakes. Hey, Tiger was only 22 at the time.
It's difficult to find info on Champions Dinner menus from the early days of the event, but more recent menus are reported in the media in the weeks leading up to The Masters.
Here is a sampling of Champions Dinner fare (the source for most of the pre-2000 menus listed below is a 1999 article in The Augusta Chronicle by Emily Sollie):
Adam Scott, 2014: Surf-and-turf on the grill, including Moreton Bay 'bugs' (lobster). Started with an appetizer of artichoke and arugula salad with calamari. Main course of Australian Wagyu beef New York Strip steak, served with Moreton Bay lobster, sauteed spinach, onion cream mashed potatoes. Desserts of strawberry and passion fruit pavlova, Anzac biscuit and vanilla sundae.
Bubba Watson, 2013: Traditional caesar salad to start. Entree of grilled chicken breast with sides of green beans, mashed potatoes, corn, macaroni and cheese, served with cornbread. Dessert of confetti cake and vanilla ice cream.
Charl Schwartzel, 2012: An opening course consisting of a chilled seafood bar, which includes shrimp, lobster, crabmeat, crab legs and oysters. The main course is a "braai," a South African barbecue, which includes lamb chops, steaks and South African sausages. Dessert of vanilla ice cream sundae. Also in the mix are salads, cheeses, plus sides such as sauteed sweet corn, green beans and Dauphinoise potatoes.
Phil Mickelson, 2011: A Spanish-themed menu with seafood paella and machango-topped filet mignon as the entrees. Also includes a salad course, asparagus and tortillas as sides, plus ice cream-topped apple empanada for dessert (more info).
Angel Cabrera, 2010: An Argentine asado, a multicourse barbecue featuring chorizo, blood sausage, short ribs, beef filets and mollejas (the thymus gland, a k a sweetbreads).
Trevor Immelman, 2009: Bobotie (a spiced minced meat pie with an egg topping), sosaties (type of chicken skewer), spinach salad, milk tart and South African wines.
Zach Johnson, 2008: Iowa beef, Florida shrimp.
Phil Mickelson, 2007: Barbecued ribs, chicken, sausage and pulled pork, with cole slaw.
Tiger Woods, 2006: Stuffed jalapeno and quesadilla appetizers with salsa and guacamole; green salad; steak fajitas, chicken fajitas, Mexican rice, refried beans; apple pie and ice cream for dessert.
Phil Mickelson, 2005: Lobster ravioli in tomato cream sauce, Caesar's salad, garlic bread.
Mike Weir, 2004: Elk, wild boar, Arctic char (that's a fish), Canadian beer.
Tiger Woods, 2003: Tiger brought back the porterhouse steak, chicken and sushi from his 2002 menu. Also on the menu were sashimi, salads, crab cakes, asparagus, mashed potatoes and a chocolate truffle cake.
Tiger Woods, 2002: Porterhouse steak and chicken with a sushi appetizer.
Vijay Singh, 2001: Seafood tom kah, chicken panang curry, baked sea scallops with garlic sauce, rack of lamb with yellow kari sauce, baked filet Chilean sea bass with three flavor chili sauce, lychee sorbet.
Mark O'Meara, 1999: Chicken fajitas, steak fajitas, sushi, tuna sashimi.
Tiger Woods, 1998: Cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, french fries, milkshakes.
Nick Faldo, 1997: Fish and chips, tomato soup.
Ben Crenshaw, 1996: Texas barbecue.
Jose Maria Olazabal, 1995: Paella (a Spanish rice dish) and hake (whitefish), plus tapas.
Bernhard Langer, 1994: Turkey and dressing, black forest torte.
Fred Couples, 1993: Chicken cacciatore.
Sandy Lyle, 1989: Haggis, mashed potatoes, mashed turnips.
Bernhard Langer, 1986: Wiener schnitzel (breaded veal).
(*Haggis is a Scottish specialty. Take sheep organs - heart, liver and lungs - and mince. Add minced suet [fatty tissues taken from around the sheep's kidneys], oatmeal and onions, and boil the whole mixture inside a sheep's stomach.)

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- When it comes to the Super Bowl, if it moves, there's a line for it. I'm not talking about a line to wait in (though if you're going, there are plenty of those).I'm talking about a line to bet on.Forget about the usual -- pointspread, favorite, underdog, over/under.The Super Bowl brings out the exotics. RJ Bell of Pregame.com sent along some early lines on some of the Super Bowl extracurriculars. In Vegas, they call them "props," bets on unusual things.For instance, did you know that the over/under the postgame hug/handshake between the Harbaugh brothers is 7.5 seconds?Or if you're into the national anthem, a $100 bet will get you $110 if Alicia Keys messes up the lyrics. The over/under on her rendition is 2 minutes, 15 seconds and a $100 bet that she gets booed will get you $500 if she is.Easy money? Number of times the Harbaugh's father Jack is shown during the game is put at 2.5 times. I'd take the over all day, even if Jack does stay home to watch on TV.Another one that seems low? Times "Harbaugh" will be said during the game. Over/under is 21.5. I'm thinking it'll be more.Halftime show odds? They have them. A $100 bet that Jay Z will join Beyonce on stage during the halftime show will return $110. Same odds that Beyonce's hair will be straight, not curly.Looking to make money off misfortune? A $100 bet that any player will get arrested before the game will pay $500 if one does.Good Lord, there's even an over/under for how many times Ray Lewis will mention the words "God" or "Lord" in his postgame interview (3 times).And finally, the money ought to be flowing in on the Gatorade bath. The payoffs on a $100 bet if the color of the Gatorade dumped on the winning coach is: Clear: $200Orange: $250Yellow: $250Blue: $700Green: $700Red: $700Thirsty for more? Visit Pregame.com.

The Daily Mountain Eagle 2013 Readers' Choice Awards are revealed in a 42-page special supplement inside today's newspaper.
"Our readers have answered the call for this special community project," Publisher Jack McNeely said. "There is no doubt from first glance of the special section that the business community appreciates our readers for their support."
The Daily Mountain Eagle polled its readers in January, distributing a colorful full-page ballot in five separate editions. The ballot included 113 categories of businesses and professionals for which readers could cast a vote.
"We asked our readers to complete as much of the ballot as possible, and they certainly did," said McNeely, noting that more than 50,000 individual votes from nearly 1,000 qualified ballots were counted in the inaugural poll. The newspaper accepted only one ballot per adult.
To encourage participation, the newspaper offered a 12-month subscription to a lucky winner of a drawing from ballots that were more than half completed. Frances Stacks of Cordova won the drawing and started receiving her newspaper today.
Meanwhile, an e-book version of today's special section will be linked to the Daily Mountain Eagle's online homepage within the next week and remain there through the end of the year.
The newspaper's website had more than 70,000 unique users, 200,000-plus visits and nearly 1 million page views in January, according to McNeely.
"We want to promote our Readers' Choice Award winners throughout the year and our website is a perfect vehicle," he said.
In addition, all first-, second- and third-place finishers in each category will receive a respective 2013 Readers' Choice Awards certificate. And, all first-place winners that participated in today's special section with a "Thank You" ad will receive a yard sign recognizing them as the Best of the Best in the inaugural readership survey.
McNeely said certificates and yard signs should be distributed by the end of March.

Oxford United's players have been given no assurances they will be in the side next season, but Gary Waddock has not transfer-listed anyone under contract.
During a desperately disappointing finish to the campaign, which saw the U's drop out of the Sky Bet League Two play-off places, the head coach suggested nobody was safe this summer.
Following a home defeat to Accrington Stanley last month, he said: "Big decisions need to be made and they certainly will be."
Deane Smalley, Sean Rigg and Scott Davies, whose contracts expired at the end of the season, were released last week.
Loan trio Ryan Williams, Nicky Wroe and David Connolly have returned to their parent clubs, while James Constable and Tom Newey are considering contract offers.
For the moment no-one else is likely to leave, with those remaining at the club told they will be given the chance to claim a place in the team during pre-season.
Waddock said: "I've spoken to the players who are under contract.
"When they come back in they have to earn the right."
The U's boss has been busy chasing targets to improve the squad since the season finished, but is not actively looking to free up more room in the squad by making players available for transfer.
"There's no point in doing that," he said.
"There's a good group of people here.
"The one thing I did say is there's no guarantee they will be starting in that first team – that goes across the board.
"The ones I've moved out are out of contract and they've gone.
"Players that don't figure in the early part of the season will have to make their minds up."
Waddock also confirmed Jake Wright will remain United captain after the club activated a clause in the defender's contract which extends his stay for another 12 months.
He said: "We've had a number of conversations since I've been here and he's been good within the dressing room.
"His form wants to be better than it has been and he's had injuries through the course of the season.
"He needs a breather just like all the other players do."

Dodge is promoting the new Dart with a unique idea. It works like a wedding registry where the car is funded by family and friends.
If someone is in the market for a new car they can register for it online. The Dodge Dart Registry website is a form of crowdsourcing where various people can donate money to the new car.
"It's innovative you know, nobody has ever tried this before and the way that people are using social media more and more these days to communicate, I think it's a smart way for them to try and get the word out about a new car like the Dodge Dart," said Adam Traver, assistant sales manager with Schaefer and Bierlein.
Donations start at $1 and there are four different tiers of pledges. Each individual campaign has a 90-day time limit.
For more information on the program visit Dodge Dart Registry.

Twenty-three year old Samuel Nunez is just one of 25 Chicago area men federal and county prosecutors charged last month with buying and selling guns and drugs in Chicago, following an eighteen month undercover investigation.
He's also one of three men who were no where to be found when police set out to arrest them.
Federal prosecutors have charged Nunez with buying and/or selling at least eight guns in the last fourteen months, including a Colt .357 revolver, a Smith and Wesson .357 revolver, two 12 gauge shot guns, a .45 pistol, an A-K 47 assault rifle and a .22 pistol. He also has previous felony drug conviction which bars him from possessing a gun again.
Investigators say Nunez and his co-defendants purchased some of these guns from neighboring states while others were bought overseas in Europe or Asia. Investigators add the guns were to be sold to gang members but instead were bought by undercover FBI agents for up to a thousand dollars each.
With little information to go on, agents are now conducting a nationwide search for Nunez. They believe he may still be hiding here in the Chicago area. Nunez's last known address is in the 2700 block of West 39th Place. There's also a chance he may be in Texas. While investigators say Nunez has family members in the "Lone Star" state, they are also checking with police in Mexico to see if he may be hiding out there.
Here is a brief description of what agents say Nunez looks like. He is described as a Hispanic male, about five feet eight inches tall, weighing around 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He also as the word "Sabina" tattooed on his chest.
He is considered armed and dangerous.
If you see him, call police.

His family said in a statement:

He enjoyed life to the full, and all will miss his exuberant personality."
