Madden NFL 25 Roster Update: Week 5
By EA SPORTS Oct 3, 2013
With all five undefeated teams playing on the road this weekend, something has to give in the NFL's Week 5.
Here are three of the biggest movers in the Madden NFL 25 Week 5 roster update.
Click here for a full ratings breakdown.
If not for another AFC West quarterback, Rivers' resurgence might be the NFL's most intriguing story. Rivers has seemingly found his old form, throwing 11 touchdowns to just two interceptions in the season's first month. The four-time Pro Bowler threw for more than 400 yards in last week's win against the Cowboys. Rivers overall rating increases two points to 88, and he also saw improvements to his AWR (+2 to 91) and TAS (+3).
Talib was a late season acquisition in 2012, and this season he has been one of the NFL's best defensive players for the undefeated Patriots. His four interceptions are tied for most in the league, and he's also racked up seven pass deflections. Talib's OVR has reached 90 after a three-point boost, thanks in large part to his 94 MCV (up 2), 89 ZCV (up 3), and 84 AWR (up 4).
The Lions are 3-1 and appear poised to make a run to the playoffs. One of the big reasons why has been the play of Suh, who was at his disruptive best in the Lions huge win over the Bears. Suh sacked Jay Cutler twice, and also forced a fumble that led to a Nick Fairley touchdown. Suh's rating is now at 97 after a one-point increase, and he also got two point increases in BKS (90) and PUR (95).
Have your say in the Madden NFL 25 player ratings process by visiting the NFL.com Rankings Hub. Vote for your favorite players each week, and you could help boost their rankings.

NEWCOMB — Three North Country schools whose budgets were defeated last month are holding budget re-votes today.
Their original 2013-14 proposed spending plans all exceeded the state tax-levy cap, and all failed May 21.
All three schools went back to the drawing board and decreased their budgets, although Newcomb's still surpasses the state cap. Administrators there said cutting spending any further would destroy their programs. As a result, the Newcomb budget requires a 60 percent super-majority to pass.
Minerva and Tupper Lake have compiled budgets that now come in under the state tax-levy cap. Those budgets can pass with simple majorities.
Here are the details:
Proposed 2013-14 budget amount: $5.4 million, up 2.7 percent.
Tax levy: $4.1 million, up 12.7 percent.
State tax-levy limit: 7.16 percent.
Tax rate per $1,000 assessed value: $2.81 Homestead Act; $14.55 non-Homestead.
Vote: 1 to 8 p.m. in the school cafeteria.
Proposed 2013-14 budget amount: $16.9 million, up 6.1 percent.
Tax levy: $7.58 million, up 3.76 percent.
State tax-levy limit: 4.76 percent.
Tax rate per $1,000 of assessed-property value: $12.84.
Proposition: To authorize the purchase of two school 66-passenger school buses at a cost not to exceed $230,500.
Vote: Noon to 8 p.m., Tupper Lake Middle/High School.
Proposed 2013-14 budget amount: $4.95 million, down 1 percent.
Tax levy: $3.3 million, up 2.97 percent.
State tax-levy limit: 3.97 percent.
Tax rate per $1,000 assessed value: $10.38.
Vote: 1 to 8 p.m., school lobby.
Vote totals will be posted at www.pressrepublican.com tonight as soon as they become available.

Members of a non-profit organization, alongside Tennessee senators are pushing for stiffer penalties for DUI offenders in the Volunteer State.In the past month, at least three repeat offenders have made headlines for their multiple DUI arrests. Danny Lee Ross was convicted of killing a mother and two teenagers in a horrific 1993 crash. Ross was sent to prison, released and continues to get arrested for DUI. He was charged with his fourth offense earlier this month. Another repeat offender includes 31-year-old Jeremy Church who was taken into custody over the weekend for this fourth DUI. He was released on bond after spending a few hours behind bars. In Franklin, 46-year-old Gregory Powers was charged with vehicular homicide after police said he crossed the center line and struck and killed a motorcycle driver last week. Investigators believe Powers was drunk but they are waiting for blood alcohol test results. At the time of the crash, Powers was out on bond for a vehicular assault charge and DUI from July. Many, including Tennessee senators and members of the non-profit organization Mothers Against Drivers are concerned by the repeat offenders. "What do you have to do to keep people off the roads? I think it's a question all of us ask everyday," state Senator Mae Beavers told Nashville's News 2.Sen. Beavers has fought for stronger DUI laws in Tennessee."We have too much plea bargaining going on where people can be stopped four, five times before they ever get their first DUI," said Sen. Beavers.She says she is looking into filing new legislation next year to keep repeat offenders from getting more chances.Mothers Against Drunk Driving believes these cases show the need for a mandatory interlock law that would force all DUI offenders to have ignition locking devices in their cars."The problem is people who drink, they'll get in someone else's car and so there's always a way to get around everything you pass," said Sen. Beavers.According to MADD, states that have passed the legislation have seen major reductions in drinking related fatalities and injuries.

The warp drives on the USS Enterprise are, as usual, on the verge of meltdown in Star Trek Into Darkness. Luckily, the entertainment propulsion system for the sci-fi saga is roaring full throttle.
The second entry in the revived franchise is a note-perfect blend of escapist fun and thought-provoking commentary, ensemble drama, comic relief, daredevil action and senses-shattering spectacle. Director J.J. Abrams, who recently was anointed the new master of the Star Wars empire, leaves Gene Roddenberrys galaxy positioned to live very long and prosper like crazy.
Despite its baleful title, Into Darkness is fleet-footed and never far from a jovial wink at the audience. It opens with a stupendous chase sequence that out-Spielbergs Raiders of the Lost Ark. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Bones (Karl Urban) hot-foot it through a weird but gorgeous scarlet forest. A race of chalk-white primitives barrel after them, flinging spears (the only use of 3-D that has caused me literally to jump out of my seat). Piling emergency atop crisis, Spock (Zachary Quinto) is trapped inside that ready-to-blow volcano on the horizon, the second hand ticking toward its planet-obliterating explosion. Topside, the sprinting duo hit the deadest of dead ends. The multi-cliffhanger ends with multiple surprises and a sly punchline about the origins of fanboy culture.
Here in a nutshell is the Abrams approach to blockbuster filmmaking. The sequence isnt a handful of undifferentiated characters amid a crushing concatenation of pyrotechnics. Its a series of cleverly engineered What next? moments, with a surprising, perfectly apt payoff. It is storytelling, always the strongest attribute of the Star Trek tradition.
Back on a 23rd-century Earth, Kirk is in hot water. His crews heroic but forbidden interference with an alien culture earns him a suspension. His mentor, Adm. Pike (Bruce Greenwood) strips the cocky beginner of his command and sends him back to the academy. But soon the service is in need of every able-bodied man. Starfleets London data archive is vaporized (or is it?) by a nefarious rogue officer (or was he?) named John Harrison (or is he?). English star Benedict Cumberbatch, bringing the mandatory Old World pomposity to the villains role, flees to the Klingon homeworld Kronos. Since a boots-on-the-ground strike force would turn the Federations Klingon cold war hot, Adm. Marcus (Peter Weller) orders the Enterprise to launch missiles from a safe distance. The allusions to domestic terrorism and drone warfare add real-world resonance to the drama.
As Harrison, Cumberbatch is a huge improvement over Eric Banas Nero, the gale-force banshee villain of 2009s Star Trek. Harrison is a daunting foe, possessing icy intellect, superhuman physical prowess and a psychologists eye for his adversaries weak spots, as well as a menacing, theatrically trained baritone. He taunts Kirk with his glacial disdain until the hothead snaps.
Kirk struggles to adapt to a murky moral dimension where evil deeds spring from understandable impulses and where the enemies of your enemies are possibly, but not reliably, your friends.
Without feeling overpacked, the film contains a multiplex worth of standout action scenes, all of which advance the story while boggling the mind. My favorite answers the question How do you travel a great distance between spacecraft without a shuttle or transporter beam? The sequence, a callback to a bravura passage in the earlier Star Trek, is hair-raising.
The film isnt perfect. The score works overtime to let us know Harrison is eeeeevil. New science officer Dr. Carol Marcus (Alice Eve) strips down to her underwear in one brazenly gratuitous scene simply because she looks really good that way. Some might quibble about including a Tribble. I was captivated every moment. While building in myriad references to earlier Star Trek adventures, Into Darkness feels like a summation of all the previous chapters.

It is outstanding quality. Just make sure you look at the size measurement online (i.e. they provide a ruler with the stone next to it) because half a carat is fairly small, but very beautiful.

Maharshi Valmiki, a great sage, who lived around the beginning of the first millennium B.C. composed the Ramayana, which established his timeless fame. A contemporary of the heroes of the Ramayana, he is also the original creator of the Hindu 'sloka' - a verse form in which most of the great epics and other works are composed.
On the auspicious occasion of Valmiki Jayanti, the holy birthday of the poet-saint, which falls this Friday (October 18, 2013), we present the inspiring story of Valmiki's life - from being brought up by a family of robbers to becoming a 'maharshi' or great sage.
- October 12, 2011 at 5:54 am(1) gayatrisharmag says:
If it is said that Maharishi Balmiki lived in one milenia BC, are u trying to say that Lord Rama also loved at that point of time, as it is said thathe was a contemporary of Lord Ram.
- October 15, 2013 at 9:45 pm(2) Surendra Sharma says:
Obviously, Gayatriji. They were contemporaries. Although it is not clear about the exact period/ time which is lost into oblivion, the legend continues to inspire devote masses.

AAJ Statement on Gulf Coast Claims Facility
Washington, DC— The following is a statement from American Association for Justice President Gibson Vance regarding today's release of protocols for the emergency payments from the BP / Gulf Coast Claims Facility:
"As we stated when this fund was first conceived, AAJ is firmly behind efforts to quickly and fairly compensate Gulf Coasters for their losses due to the spill. The voluntary claims process may provide adequate and immediate relief to certain claimants through this emergency payment process."
"However, the protocols still leave questions to be answered about the future and final claim protocols. For example, it would be detrimental to claimants if they are forced to accept final payments before the full impact of the spill is realized.
"Additionally, the final protocols may require waiving future rights to hold corporations other than BP accountable, even if they bear responsibility for this disaster. As we look forward to the final protocols, we hope this is not the case. Victims of the oil disaster deserve their full rights under the current law.
"We will be monitoring the claims facility as it moves forward, as the civil justice system will be essential in ensuring residents and businesses can receive justice and hold BP and other corporations accountable. Despite the urgency of the economic situation, haste cannot be to the detriment of justice."

Ottawa Senators GM Bryan Murray has stated he doesn't expect to make any other moves, meaning the roster is set. How does it look?
If the Ottawa Senators are serious about rebuilding, they must consider trading their best player, Jason Spezza. Here's why.
The latest updates on the Dany Heatley trade situation.
Bryan Murray finally speaks out on the future of Dany Heatley, who requested a trade last week.
"I think he just comes to play hard every night. The comment he made to me was that he's gone from playing six to eight minutes a game to feeling like he's a hockey player again. ... It's nice to see a guy going from Ottawa to here, where there's no playoffs in sight, to come in with the attitude he's had."Islanders coach Scott Gordon on Dean McAmmond's contribution since arriving. He obviously has a big incentive to show he can still play. But it's still been nice to see him come in with that attitude.
[Ed. Note: Dominik from Lighthouse Hockey and I swapped articles looking back on the Chris Campoli/Mike Comrie for Dean McAmmond and a first-rounder trade between the Senators and Islanders just...

I saw a thread earlier toying with the idea of running 3 stripped down Firesprays, and wanted to try something similar with my favorite faction: The rebels. So here's my first shot at a Falcon-heavy squad.
Outer Rim Smuggler (Gunner, Milenium Falcon) 33 points
Outer Rim Smuggler (Gunner) 32 points
2x Prototype Pilot () 17 points each (34 points total)
There's a 99 point squad that doesn't look half bad, but I'm not the biggest fan of A-wings.
So I started off with 2 Outer Rim Smugglers with Gunners, at 32 points each, and 2 Prototype Pilot A-wings, for another 34 points. The gunners give the YT's a lot more dependability on their shots, since they basically get a new, free attack if their first one misses miserably. I didn't really like the inclusion of the A-wings, though, with their smaller damage capacities. So I dropped them and added ANOTHER ORS with a gunner. Although, looking at it now, the 2 A-wings are actually MORE defense than the 1 ORS, since they both total 10 hull and shields, but the ORS has 1 agility and the A-wings are 3 each with Evade. That brought me to 96 points, so I still had room to play. Luke is a free hit from a focus, so on one YT I replaced him in, for 98 points. To get to 99 to win init against PS1 swarms (stupid PS1 proto-falcons) I upgraded the Luke YT to the Falcon with the title card.
All told, the final squad is:
Outer Rim Smuggler (Luke Skywalker, Milenium Falcon) 35 points
2x Outer Rim Smuggler (Gunner) 32 points each
Total squad is 99 points
Any way this could work in a semi-competitive manner? I really want to use 2 or more YT's in a single match, and this is the only somewhat reasonable way I could see to use 3 of them. To use 2, I would probably do:
Chewbacca (Milenium Falcon, Gunner) 48 points
Outer Rim SMuggler (Gunner) 32 points
Green Squadron Pilot ()19 points
That puts me at 99 points there, but I kind of want to add Veteran Instincts on either the GSP or Chewie, making Chewie PS 7 or tying the GSP with him at PS 5. The ORS can be a blocking machine, shooting at whatever is in range, while Chewie is a crit-immune tank and the GSP flies around being annoying.

Harry Styles Worcestershire birthplace named 'least musical' (From Bromsgrove Advertiser)

Harry Styles Worcerstershire birthplace named 'least musical'
Updated 12:48pm Thursday 6th March 2014 in Local
THE birthplace of One Direction star Harry Styles has been found to be the least musically sophisticated part of Britain, according to a new study which maps the musical abilities of the UK.
Redditch in Worcestershire came top of a list of the least musical parts of the UK in the study which measured people's 'musical sophistication', or their ability to engage with music.
However, the town's musical history boasts the likes Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham and Dodgy frontman Nigel Clark.
Meanwhile, the residents of Hastings in East Sussex were judged to have the highest level of musical sophistication, followed by West Somerset and North Dorset.
The study found that musical skills and ability are not evenly distributed across the population and are linked to a person's profession, education level and their average income.
Published in the PLOS ONE journal, the study carried out by researchers from Goldsmiths, University of London and BBC Lab UK, found a correlation between how musical people are and the average income of the area where they live.
Learning to play an instrument is strongly linked to household income with the highest level of musical training being found among the inhabitants of the City of London, Cambridge, York, Cherwell, and Oxford.
The 'least musically sophisticated' list includes Anglesey, Christchurch in Dorset, and Boston in Lincolnshire.
Parts of Britain with the highest levels of musical sophistication include the London boroughs of Hackney and Haringey, as well as Blaenau Gwent in South Wales and Gwynedd in the the north-west of the country.
However, the inclusion of low-income regions in the 'most musical list', such as areas of Wales and the West Country, prove that high income and musical aptitude were not always linked.
Dr Daniel Mullensiefen, lead researcher on the project from the Department of Psychology at Goldsmiths, said: "It was fascinating to be involved in this study - the largest of its kind ever to be undertaken - and it was exciting to map out for the first time how musical expertise is spread across an entire nation.
"The most intriguing result for me is to be able to see on a map how musical skills are related to social conditions of our modern lives.
"Perhaps the most surprising result was the relationship between income and musicality.
"With a couple of exceptions, people who lived in postcode areas with a higher average income performed better in the music ability tests. The next question we're going to tackle is the cause behind this relationship."
More than 94,000 participants answered questions on their musical background and musical habits and took part in a range of objective musical tests.
Although the tests were not solely based on a person's ability to play an instrument, those with musical training had a clear advantage on the listening tests where they were asked to do things like remember distinctive tunes.
The study also found that musical sophistication is generally highest in early and flexible periods of life such as during school and university, and is also higher in certain professions such as the media or education.
But hope is not lost for those struggling to master an instrument. The findings also show that inherent factors such as gender and ethnicity explained very little in terms of the musical sophistication of individual participants.
Areas where residents are least musical:
1 Redditch
2 Ashfield
3 Richmondshire
4 Anglesey
5 Christchurch
6 North Lincolnshire
7 Boston
8 Maldon
9 East Lindsey
10 Swale
Areas where residents are most musical:
1 Hastings
2 West Somerset
3 North Dorset
4 Blaenau Gwent
5 Haringey
6 Sevenoaks
7 Shetland Islands
8 York
9 Hackney
10 Gwynedd

Deputies have arrested a man whom police say appeared to have drugs in his system while allegedly breaking into an east side home on Friday.
Rincon District deputies responded to a disturbance call at a Walgreens drug store around 7:15 a.m. but quickly learned the suspect had fled the area. They were soon dispatched to a reported home burglary near the 7000 block of E. Arrowhead Drive.
They located 33-year-old Gerald W. Archuleta in a fenced yard. He was apprehended with the help of a sheriff's department canine.
Upon further investigation, police learned the victim had apparently been aware of an intruder, locked himself in his room and called 911.
Archuleta reportedly kicked in the victim's door and had an odd conversation with him before leaving the residence.
Police say Archuleta appeared to be in an altered state of mind and possibly had drugs in his system. He was taken to the hospital and later charged with first degree criminal trespassing and criminal damage.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department reminds the public to keep doors and windows locked, and to report suspicious activity or persons. Also, if an intruder is in your home, avoid confrontation and call 911 from a safe location.

TORONTO — BlackBerry is poised to snap a five- quarter streak of declining smartphone shipments, a sign its recovery is gaining traction.
BlackBerry probably delivered 7.7 million smartphones to customers in the three months ended in May, a Bloomberg survey of analysts shows. That would reverse a plunge to 6 million units in the prior quarter from 11 million a year earlier for the Waterloo, Ontario-based company.
New models are the reason for the resurgence. Even if the touch-screen Z10 is getting a mixed consumer reception, pent-up demand for the Q10, which has a physical keyboard to appeal to the BlackBerry faithful, is fueling a rebound, said Maynard Um, a Wells Fargo analyst.
The die-hard BlackBerry installed base of 76 million subscribers loyal to the keyboard presents a strong upgrade opportunity, said Um, who is based in New York.
Um is among analysts who have raised sales estimates or ratings on BlackBerry in the weeks before the smartphone maker reports earnings on June 28. While BlackBerry steadily lost market share over the past three years to Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics, it now has an opportunity to win back some consumers in the lull before the next iPhone arrives and after Samsungs Galaxy S4 got mixed reviews.
The new BlackBerry handsets are holding up reasonably well against a number of recently released handsets, said Andy Perkins, an analyst at Societe Generale in London.
BlackBerry shares have climbed 16 percent this year and have more than doubled since reaching a nine-year low in September. An international BlackBerry service disruption that month, which coincided for a second time with the introduction of a new iPhone, was the culmination of years of marketing fumbles, product delays and other missteps by the company.
Since taking over in January 2012, Chief Executive Officer Thorsten Heins has named new sales, marketing and legal chiefs and squeezed out $1 billion in operating costs by cutting six of 10 manufacturing sites, eliminating 5,000 jobs and selling one of two corporate jets.
BlackBerry surprised analysts in March by reporting a return to profitability for its fiscal fourth quarter, earlier than expected. The company probably had a profit of 9 cents a share excluding one-time charges and gains in the first quarter, which ended in May, reversing a loss of 37 cents a year earlier, according to analysts estimates.
Sales probably climbed 20 percent to $3.38 billion from a year earlier, the estimates show. That would be the first year- on-year gain in eight quarters.
BlackBerry has no comment on its performance last quarter, said Rebecca Freiburger, a company spokeswoman.
Heins, a native of Germany, was criticized after he was promoted from chief operating officer to CEO 18 months ago and told investors no drastic change was needed at BlackBerry.
Regardless of what he said at the time, Heins has definitely shaken things up, said Colin Gillis, a BCG Partners analyst.
Hes done a great job hes put up way more of a fight than people were expecting, said Gillis. The question is, is it too late?
BlackBerrys shipments are expected to decline again this quarter. In the current period, which will end in August, units will decline to 7.4 million from last quarters estimate of 7.7 million, according to the Bloomberg survey. Thats because shipments of older models will fall while sales of the Q10 will potentially peak after a wave of upgrades, said Gillis.
This is the quarter where theyre likely to put product into the channel and the numbers may look pretty good, he said. The next quarter is probably going to be tough for them.
BlackBerrys share of the global smartphone market shrank to 2.9 percent last quarter from 6.4 percent a year earlier, according to research firm IDC. Apples iOS and Google Inc.s Android operating system, which Samsung uses, together accounted for 92 percent of the market.

Man and his grandfather release marlin off Palm BeachSaturday, August 31st, 2013
In the searing heat of late summer, offshore fishing can be slow.
But Mother Atlantic is filled with surprises.
Jim Spaulding of Loxahatchee was about 10 miles off Palm Beach on the morning of Aug. 16 when a blue marlin hit the ballyhoo/lure combination being trolled behind his grandfather's boat, Seven Grand.
The billfish started jumping as soon as it was hooked. The fish stripped most of the line from a 6/0 Penn reel while his grandfather, Gene Waller of North Palm Beach, scrambled to bring in five other lines to avoid tangles.

Need your ideas on best social networking script for my situation
Hey everyone,
I need to create a nanny site similar to http://www.gonannies.com
It doesn't need to be very in depth..
The requirements are:
- Search by zipcode on home page.
- Nannies can create a profile for free/ upload pics, interests, qualifications etc...
- When people search for nannies they can see pictures but can't access contact or location information. They will need to register and purchase a plan before they can contact nanny.
What is the best social networking script available for this type of job?
Im open to paid and open source.
I might be also be interesed in outsoucing this to a developer, but right now i'm just looking at ideas before I think about hiring someone.

Melanie will have to dig deep to defend her titleJamaica Observer
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Defending Beijing 2008 gold medalist Melanie Walker will face strong threats from Natalya Antyukh (Russia), the fastest 400m hurdler this year, and 2011 world champion Lashinda Demus (USA) at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Demus is looking to add Olympic gold to her 2011 world title and two world silver medals. The athlete took gold from Walker in Daegu, Korea, last summer as Walker had to settle for second. She would be the first USA athlete to win gold in this event.
Walker will be the first female athlete to achieve gold twice in the 400m hurdles if she can repeat her Beijing victory, but she is yet to run under 54 seconds this season. She also won the 2009 world championships title.
Antyukh took third at the 2011 world championships in Daegu. The Russian champion tops the 2012 world list with a best time of 53.40 from the national championships in Cheboksary in July.
European champion Irina Davydova (Russia) is likely to challenge the favourites at her first Olympics. She ran 53.77 to win in Helsinki, while Perri Shakes-Drayton (Great Britain) will also have her eyes on a medal after beating Davydova at the London Diamond League meeting, recording a personal best of 53.77.
Shakes-Drayton and Davydova are in equal second place on the 2012 world rankings. The former, the 2010 European bronze medallist, also won a world indoor championships gold medal with Britain's 4x400m relay team in Istanbul in March.
Vania Stambolova (Bulgaria) will try to add an Olympic hurdles medal to the world indoor championships silver medal and European championships gold she has won at 400m, both trips to the podium coming in 2006. She lowered her own 400m hurdles national record to 53.68 last year and is close to 54 seconds in 2012.
Also, Czech champion and 2011 European indoor championships 400m gold medal Denisa Rosolova, a silver medallist at the 2012 European championships recently, could also be a contender despite still learning her trade in her first serious year at the event.
Rosolova's compatriot Zuzana Hejnova beat Demus at the Monaco Diamond League meeting on 20 July and the Beijing 2008 finalist has a season's best of 54.12.
The event starts tomorrow.

Abdulbaki Todashev, the father of a Chechen man shot by FBI agents in Orlando earlier this year, met with Orange-Osceola State Attorney Jeff Ashton to discuss the circumstances surrounding his son's death.
Ibragim Todashev, 27, was shot and killed by federal agents in his Orlando apartment in May after hours of questioning about his connection to the Boston Marathon bombers and a double murder committed in the Boston area. Ashton has said he will investigate the Todashev's death.
The father did not speak to reporters after the meeting, but his lawyer, Eric Ludin, described the meeting as "nice."
"Mr. Ashton pledged his condolences, or offered his condolences, to Mr. Todashev but also pledged his interest in doing a complete and thorough investigation," said Ludin. "We were very satisfied with our meeting today and very pleased, because we have full confidence that Mr. Ashton will do exactly what he promises."
We asked Ludin about Ashton's ability to do that complete and thorough investigation, given the fact that he will be taking on the FBI, a federal agency. Ludin acknowledged that it will be difficult.
"We're aware of the record of FBI investigations that find that there's no fault on the part of the FBI agent. I think the statistics are 100 percent and Mr. Ashton is aware of that. He understands his responsibility to do the right thing in this case."
The FBI is not commenting on the ongoing investigation, but spokesman Special Agent Jason Pack, sent us the following email to explain:
The FBI continues to conduct a review of the May 22, 2013 shooting of Ibragim Todashev, 27, which occurred at Todashev's residence, at 6022 Peregrine Avenue, Orlando, Florida.
The FBI's shooting incident review has interviewed witnesses and gathered information regarding the shooting incident for presentation to a Shooting Incident Review Group (SIRG), which consists of members from the FBI and the Department of Justice.
The SIRG examines all of the information and determines the reasonableness of the application of deadly force in accordance with the Department of Justice's deadly force policy and the law. To my knowledge, the SIRG hasn't met since the incident occurred.
While this internal review process is occurring, we cannot comment regarding investigative details. The SIRG meets approximately every quarter to review pending incidents before an official ruling is made.
The FBI takes very seriously any shooting incident. Both the FBI and the United States Department of Justice have an effective, time-tested process for addressing them independently to arrive at the facts. The review process is thorough and objective and conducted as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances.
Before Mr. Todashev returns to his native Russia, he plans to meet with the U.S. Attorney's Office as well to explore charges on the FBI officers for violating his son's civil rights.
State Attorney Jeff Ashton sent out a statement about his meeting with Mr. Todashev promising that full investigation and offering his condolences, but Ashton would not commit to a time frame to complete that investigation.

WASHINGTON (BP) -- Planned Parenthood has set a record for the number of abortions in its clinics, according to its newly released annual report.
"Americans are sick and tired of underwriting the nation's largest abortion business."
- Marjorie Dannenfelser
The country's No. 1 abortion provider said its affiliates performed 333,964 of the lethal procedures during 2010-11, the most recent year for which statistics are available. The previous yearly record for Planned Parenthood clinics was 332,278 in 2009.
Planned Parenthood also established a record for funds received from federal, state and local governments. It received $542.4 million in government grants and reimbursements during the latest fiscal year. Those public funds were nearly half of Planned Parenthood's $1.2 billion in total revenue for the year. The organization's revenue outpaced expenses by $87.4 million.
"Planned Parenthood has spent much of the last few years demanding that taxpayers add millions more to their coffers, citing their non-profit status and so-called focus on women's health," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List. "What have we received for our money? While government subsidies to Planned Parenthood have reached an all time high, so too has the number of lives ended by this profit-driven abortion business."
She added in a written statement, "As if these numbers weren't already horrifying, Planned Parenthood has upped the ante even further by mandating that all affiliates provide abortions beginning this year. Americans are sick and tired of underwriting the nation's largest abortion business."
The abortion toll at Planned Parenthood actually is higher than its record-keeping for the year shows.
Its affiliates distributed 1.43 million "emergency contraception" kits, which have abortion-causing properties. "Emergency contraceptives," such as Plan B and Next Choice, work to restrict ovulation in a female, but they also can act after conception, thereby causing an abortion. This secondary mechanism of the drug blocks implantation of a tiny embryo in the uterine wall.
The organization's affiliates made only 2,300 adoption referrals during the year, which means they performed about 145 abortions for every adoption referral.
Rep. Diane Black, R.-Tenn., introduced legislation Jan. 4 that would bar federal family planning funds from going to Planned Parenthood and other organizations that perform abortions. The bill is the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act, H.R. 217. The House of Representatives has supported similar legislation in the past, but the Senate has not.
Planned Parenthood's medical services report covered October 2010 to September 2011. Its financial report was for July 2011 to June 2012.

NYU for Tennis
NYU seems to be tricking us into believing that we actually do have tennis courts on top of Coles; however, this is not the case. In fact, just the other day, a couple of my friends and I went to Coles to hit around, but the tennis courts were locked and there were no nets up. As a result, we asked a member of Coles staff about it, and he told us that the courts have not been used for a couple of years. He told us that we could play either in the gym from 7:30am to 9am where the volleyball team usually holds their practice or we could play at Chelsea Piers. What's a school without tennis courts! We pay $50,000 a year! What's the deal! Sign our petition- NYU for Tennis- and make tennis alive again at NYU!

What city leaders hoped would be a thriving community on Montgomery's west side has been anything but. The Lanier Place development on E. D. Nixon Drive was largely funded by federal grants.
"The whole development was for 50 or 60 or 70 houses," says Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange. But that didn't happen. Only three have been built since the project started.
"Some of the funds that were allocated five years ago dried up," adds Strange.
The idea, provide new housing for residents in West Montgomery without dipping in to city coffers.
"It was really part of that whole vision of West Fairview Avenue." But when the government cut some community grants, Lanier Place's progress came to a halt.
"They had talked about building more houses back there," says Coner Sims who moved to Lanier Place roughly two years ago. Since then, he hasn't seen any construction. But that could change.
Mayor Strange is talking with officials at the Montgomery Housing Authority, hoping to transfer the land to them to build a housing development.
"They can do it quicker and with a lot more expertise," says Strange.
WSFA 12 News spoke with the housing authority's Director Yvette Hester. She says nothing has been decided and chose not to comment unless the two reach an agreement.
In the meantime, Sims would like to see new development behind his home. "It just depends on how they manage it and how they work on keeping any kind of crime down or just keep control of the area."
If the housing authority takes control of the property, Mayor Strange doesn't believe they'll build houses similar to the ones there now. It's still unclear if the city would sell the property or give it to the authority.
The city council must approve any land transfer before the deal is finalized.

Police chief denies 'cosy' relationship
Updated 8:50am Wednesday 8th January 2014 in News
THE Thames Valley's police and crime commissioner appeared before a Parliamentary committee yesterday to defend the work of commissioners.
Thames Valley police and crime commissioner Anthony Stansfeld took questions from the House of Commons home affairs select committee before Chief Constable Sara Thornton faced the panel.
Mr Stansfeld was asked by committee chairman Keith Vaz MP if his relationship with Ms Thornton was "too cosy" and questioned whether he alone was able to hold her to account – but he said he often disagreed with her.

White Velvet Cutouts Recipe
We make these cutouts every Christmas and give lots of them as gifts. Last year, we baked a batch a week all through December to be sure we'd have plenty for ourselves, too. These rich cookies melt in your mouth! Kim Hinkle, Wauseon, Ohio
- 2 cups butter, softened
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon shortening
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 to 4 tablespoons 2% milk, divided
- Red and/or green food coloring, optional
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Cover and chill 2 hours or until firm.
- Roll out on a floured surface to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut into 3-in. shapes; place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until set (not browned). Cool 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool.

I replaced a 16 year old refrigerator. I was told this new refrigerator was more energy efficient, but it runs continually. It sounds like a pick up truck in our kitchen. The handles stick way out. The doors and handles don't line up with the unit, and it has no meat drawer. The shelf spacing makes 2 very tall spaces(waste of space) and one very small space (limited use).

This fridge arrived with different sized seals on the fridge and freezer doors, so the top door stuck out farther than the bottom. Also, the fridge never was able to get cold, even though it made plenty of noise trying to do so. The item (as well as all similar models) was on back order, and it took me a month to get a new fridge. Customer service did not appear to see the big deal, even after I tried to explain it to them for 3 hours 14 minutes on the phone. I finally gave up and waited for the new one. Despicable customer service. I changed models, and the new one, which is a Kenmore energy star, is working great. The seals still are slightly different sizes, although less noticeable than those on this model, which were a good 1/4 inch off.

Barry: Beavers could have won, even with 10 men
2:00pm Friday 20th December 2013 in Hampton and Richmond By Stuart Amos
Hampton & Richmond Borough boss Paul Barry says Saturday's 1-1 draw with Lewes felt like defeat.
The visitors struck in injury time to level Charlie Moone's second half opener and steal a Ryman Premier League point at the Beveree.
Hampton, who travel to Margate tomorrow, had been reduced to 10 men after skipper Billy Jeffreys saw red in the first half.
"Even with 10 men we were creating chances," said Barry.
"The lads were disappointed at the end and it felt like a loss to them, which is only a good thing."

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSBurst Pipes A Concern With Warmer Temperatures
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Jan. 30, 2014 7:28 PM EST
Updated: Jan. 31, 2014 8:51 AM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Brandon Stover) – It was a nice change of pace to enjoy some warmer temperatures Thursday, but with the major thaw came some consequences.
After some bitter cold and snowy weather, we're talking about the water pipes in your home. A lot of times, when it gets really cold, your pipes can freeze. Then when it warms up, they thaw out and, sometimes, that expanding and contracting can cause pipes to burst.
Chris Ice, with Ice Heating and Cooling, said it is really pretty simple to avoid that problem.
"The best thing to do in cold weather is to leave your water trickling," he said. "Thats basically it, all you can do - the hot and the cold, so they're both running"
Ice also said the Thaw can help you locate problems in your pipes that you might not have known about before like leaks and loose connections. Problems that all need to be addressed before they get worse.

Comments about adidas Miami Heat Dwyane Wade Infant Revolution 30 Replica Road Jersey:
I was a little weary at first because I wasn't sure if this would be a high quality item given that it was for an infant. However, I was very surprised to find the material was quality, nothing seemed loosely stitched, and it looked just like one I bought for my older son. For [$] you really can't beat it. Also, the shipping was super fast. You figure you pay the lowest s/h cost and you are waiting for a week or more. Nope, this came within 2-3 business days.
