ABC Files Motion to Dismiss BPI's Defamation Lawsuit
A few months ago, I wrote about a $1.2 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Beef Products, Inc. (BPI), a South Dakota-based meat processor, against ABC News Inc. found here. The most recent development in the case occurred on October 31 when lawyers for ABC filed a motion to dismiss.
In September, BPI, along with Technology, Inc. and Freezing Machines, Inc., collectively filed suit against American Broadcasting Companies Inc., ABC News Inc., ABC news anchor Diane Sawyer and ABC correspondents Jim Avila and David Kerley in Circuit Court in Union County, South Dakota claiming that ABC's news coverage of lean finely textured beef (LFTB), or what became infamously known by the nickname "pink slime," was defamatory and ultimately devastating for the company's reputation and business. Since being filed, the case has been removed (PDF) to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota. The complaint also named as defendants Gerald Zirnstein, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) microbiologist who called the product "pink slime," Carl Custer, former federal food scientist, and Kit Foshee, a former BPI quality assurance manager who was interviewed by ABC.
Earlier this year, on March 7, 2012, ABC began reporting during its World News program that much of the ground beef we buy at the supermarket contains the product that the industry calls LFTB and others call "pink slime." Over the next month, ABC continued to report on the story, both online and on its television news programs.
In its later complaint, BPI alleged that the news agency, in reporting on LFTB, had knowingly and intentionally published false and disparaging statements regarding BPI and its product and improperly interfered with BPI's business relationships. BPI argued that the statements made by ABC were not only inconsistent with information provided to them by BPI but were also contradictory to the findings of the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), food safety organizations, and many beef industry experts. BPI claimed that ABC's news reports constituted common law defamation, product disparagement, and tortious interference. In addition, BPI alleged a cause of action under South Dakota's statutory Agricultural Food Products Disparagement Act (AFPDA).
Most recently, on October 31, 2012, lawyers for ABC News submitted a motion to dismiss BPI's lawsuit (PDF). In its memorandum in support of the motion to dismiss, ABC asserts that none of BPI's claims are viable. Specifically, ABC argues that BPI cannot state a claim under South Dakota's AFPDA, because that law only authorizes an action for statements that question the safety of a product. ABC claims that it did not question the safety of the product as BPI claims, but instead stated that LFTB is safe to eat.
Secondly, ABC maintains that BPI cannot state a claim for product disparagement because "any such claim is preempted by AFPDA, and because the ABC News reports would not be actionable under traditional common law standards in any event." For instance, ABC explains:
[R]eporting that critics call LFTB pink slime is not actionable: that term, while unflattering, does not convey false facts about the color or texture of LFTB and is precisely the kind of "imaginative expression" and "rhetorical hyperbole" that is constitutionally protected. And the ABC News reports cannot reasonably be understood to imply that LFTB is "not safe for public consumption" or "not nutritious." The reports repeatedly state that LFTB is "safe to eat," though "not as nutritious as ground beef" a viewpoint BPI does not challenge. BPI's other claims are based on quibbles with specific language that do not affect the "substance" or "gist" of the reports.
Lastly, ABC states that BPI's claims of libel and of tortious interference with business relationships both fail. A decision on the motion is currently pending.
Nationwide Beef Processor Seeks Bankruptcy Protection Citing "Pink Slime" Furor
AFA Investment Inc. and its affiliates, including AFA Foods, American Foodservice Corporation, United Food Group, LLC, and American Fresh Foods (together "AFA"), one of the largest ground beef processors in the United States, have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
AFA cited growing negative publicity over the use of boneless lean beef trimmings (identified as "lean finely textured beef" or "pink slime" in some articles) as well as lower retail demand for beef products, costly product testing programs, and a change of customer base from foodservice to retail customers as events causing the filing.
Ron Allen, AFA's Interim CEO, stated that the companies have hired an investment banker to market their assets and plan to idle their Los Angles, California processing facility this week. AFA reported consolidated booked asset value of $219 million against $197 million of liabilities. The companies currently have 850 full-time employees and operate facilities in Georgia, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas, in addition to the California facility.
AFA requested approval of $60 million in "Debtor in Possession Financing" to be advanced by the companies' current first-priority lenders. One lending covenant would require AFA to file a motion to sell all of the companies' assets within the next 14 days. AFA also requested permission to continue to honor customer programs including rebates and returns, to pay certain "critical vendors" immediately, and to institute procedures for receiving and handling priority claims of vendors under the Bankruptcy Code.
The AFA bankruptcy follows news last week that other beef processors are reducing production in the wake of the furor and reported uncertainty in futures markets and auction prices.

Tigers are the biggest of all cats.
There are 6 different kinds of tigers.
Most tigers live and hunt alone.
Tigers catch and eat meat.
Baby tigers are called cubs.
What are tigers?
Tigers are large cats. They are one of the most threatened species of animal on earth.
There used to be nine subspecies, or breeds, of tiger, but three have become extinct in the last century:
the Bali, Caspian and Javan tigers are extinct.
The South Chinese tiger is almost extinct, perhaps already is.
Today there are six different subspecies of tiger:
|Amur, or Siberian, tiger
|Found in eastern Russia mainly, with some in northeastern China northern North Korea.
|Lives in thick forests that are covered with snow in winter
|Paler colouring, with brown rather than black stipes. White ruff of fur round neck. Largest cat in the world
|Up to 3.3m head to tail, about 300kg
|Less than 350 in the wild
|Bengal tiger
|Found in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Burma (Myanmar)
|From cold Himalayan forests to hot swamps to wet forests of north India to dry forests of Rajasthan
|Reddish orange fur with narrow black , grey or brown stripes. Underside is creamy white
|Up to 2.9m head to tail, about 140 kg
|Approx 3, 500 in the wild
|Indochinese tiger
|Mainly in Thailand, but also Burma, Cambodia, Laos, southern China, Vietnam, parts of Malaysia
|Live in forests in hilly to mountainous areas
|Reddish orange to dark yellow fur with black or dark grey stripes
|Up to
2.7m head to tail, about 115kg
|Less than 1000 in the wild
|Malay, or Malayan, tiger
|Found only in the Malaysian part of the Malay peninsula.
|Hilly forest areas because lowland forests have been cleared for rubber and palm oil plantations.
|Appearance similar to Indo-Chinese tiger: it was not until 2004 that it was classified as a different subspecies.
|Up to
2.7m head to tail, about 120kg
|About 500 in the wild.
|South China, or Amoy, tiger
|Found in central - eastern China
|Moist forests
|Short broad stripes widely spaced
|Up to 2.5 metres head to tail, about 150 kg
|20-30 in the wild The most critically endangered of the tigers, and possibly already extinct
|Sumatran tiger
|Found only on the island of Sumatra
|Lives in forests, lowland to mountain areas
|It is the darkest and smallest of the tigers, suitable for its rainforest habitat
|Up to 2.4m head to tail, 90 kg
|Critically Endangered, about 240 left in the wild
Amur tiger
Bengal tiger
Indochinese tiger
Malayan tiger
South China tiger
Sumatran tiger
The different tiger subspecies live in a variety of habitats. Some live in forests in southern Asia, some in the woodlands of Siberia. Others are found in mangrove swamps and in tall grass jungles. Some are found in the mountains where it is snowy.
Appearance and Behaviours
Most tigers are orange-brown or dark yellow with dark brown, grey or black stripes. There are patches of white fur on their faces and ears. There is a white mark on the back of each ear so that from behind it looks like the tiger is watching, particularly in a shadowy forest habitat. This is a defence marking. Tigers have white fur on their stomachs. A tiger's stripes helps it to get close to prey when it is hunting. The stripes camouflage the tiger, helping it to blend into the grasses and edges of forests where it lives. Each tiger's pattern is different, like human fingerprints.
Did you know?
A white tiger is not a subspecies. The original was captured in India, and was a true 'accident', or mutation, but was then bred to produce white cubs. White tigers today are generally part Siberian and part Bengal. They are bred in captivity by in-breeding animals that are closely related. White tigers would not survive in the wild because they are not camouflaged like gold and black tigers are. In attempting to breed white tigers, there are many birth defects and cub deaths.
The largest tiger is the male Amur or Siberian tiger which can grow to be 3.3 metres long and weigh up to 300 kilograms. The smallest is the female Sumatran tiger which grows to be about 230 centimetres long and weighs up to 110 kilograms.
A tiger's tail, which helps it keep its balance when running fast, is about a metre long.
Most tigers live and hunt alone and mark their territory by spraying the ground and plants with urine (pee) and by leaving scratch marks on trees.They are excellent swimmers, and can swim across wide rivers. They keep cool by spending time in water, the only cats to deliberately do so.
Tigers are carnivores, or meat eaters. They hunt mainly between sunset and dawn. They stalk their prey, get as close as possible and then race at the animal from behind, pouncing on it and biting the neck or throat. When the prey is dead, the tiger drags it to a safe place and eats it. If the prey is a large animal the tiger can feed on it for a few days. Not every hunt is successful, so tigers don't eat every day. They hunt and eat many different kinds of animal such as deer, wild pigs, birds, monkeys, leopards, bears and wild cattle. Tigers eat up to 18 kilograms of meat at one time.

Life Cycle
About 103 days after mating with a male tiger, the female gives birth to a litter of 2 or 3 cubs, but sometimes up to 7. She looks after the cubs, feeding them milk for about 8 weeks. Later she teaches them to hunt. The cubs stay with their mother for up to three years.
Siberian tiger cubs
Conservation Status and threats
Tigers are facing extinction. The South China tiger may already be extinct. Numbers of other subspecies are very low. One major threat is that in some countries medicines made of tiger body parts are considered to be almost magical. Tigers are illegally killed for body parts, fur and meat. Although there is an international ban on killing tigers, illegal medicines made from tiger body parts sell for large sums of money, so poachers continue to kill tigers. Loss of habitat is also a big threat, and there is less and less space in the wild for tigers to live. What is left of wild habitat is often small patches, like islands, which makes it hard for tigers to move about and meet each other for breeding.
|World Wildlife Fund (WWF) set 'camera traps' in forests in central Sumatra. These forests are in danger of being cut down even though they are supposed to be protected. Sensors on the hidden cameras are triggered by movement, and in May 2011, WWF reported that a higher number of tiger images were captured, including two mothers with cubs and six other tigers. The reason for the high number could be because the researchers are getting better at choosing spots for the cameras, but it could also be because the area where tigers live is shrinking so the same number live in a smaller space.
Click here to see this rare footage of Sumatran tigers in the wild, including some playful cubs. However, there are less than 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild, and those on the film are in danger of losing that habitat where they live and play.

A tactical match that has seen slight adjustments by each side yield a relatively uneventful second half will go to extra time with Japan and Paraguay scoreless.
Paraguay has still held more possession but has limited the counter attacking opportunities given Japan in the first half. Japan has responded by bringing on more attack-minded personnel, but it has been to no avail. The match remains scoreless, with the teams having combined for five shots on goal.
The teams will now play a 30 minute extra period. If the sides are still tied afterward, Japan and Paraguay will engage in the tournament's first penalty shoot-out.
Each team has one substitution remaining.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSPolice Investigating String Of Car Break-ins In Kanawha City
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Apr. 4, 2014 11:03 AM EDT
Updated: Apr. 4, 2014 12:49 PM EDT
CHARLESTON W.Va. (Katelyn Sykes) -- Charleston police had a break Friday in a rash of car break-ins in Kanawha City.
Police arrested Adam Myers, 33, of Charleston on two counts of breaking and entering of an automobile, obstructing an officer and fleeing.
Charleston police responded to the area of 41st Street and Virginia Avenue about 2 a.m. Friday after neighbors said two men were walking around the neighborhood with flashlights, looking into cars.
"We have had numerous complaints about breaking and entering into autos, guys coming through the area late hours in the night, flashlights, going through cars," Charleston Police Cpl. O. Smith said.
Smith said when they arrived at the scene, they spotted Myers and another man who then took off running. Police said Myers was soon caught and arrested. Police brought in a K9 to find the second man but came up empty-handed.
Neighbors said this is a quiet and safe area and people look out for each other.
"People who are doing suspicious things aren't going to run into hostility, but at least they're going to have people notice them," Charles Schade said.
Schade has lived in this neighborhood for 14 years and said even though these crimes have been happening near his home, he still feels safe.
"It's not a big deal," he said. "That's why when you're in the city you do keep an eye out, but it's not like I think I'm going to have somebody jump me when I walk down the street."
Myers is in the South Central Regional Jail on a $5,000 bond.

Original novel
Original film series
Planet of the Apes (1968)A team of astronauts flies into space at near light speed. They are influenced by time dilation: eighteen months for them is over two thousand years for the Earth. They crash onto a mysterious, seemingly desolate planet (losing the sole female on the crew in the process), specifically into a dead lake; this loses them their spacecraft and most of their supplies.On this planet, there is a mute race of human-like creatures, treated as animals by a race of sentient English-speaking apes. Caught in the middle of an ambush between Ape and Man, one of the astronauts is killed, another lobotomised and a third, George Taylor (Charlton Heston), is shot in the throat, which renders him mute like the other men. He is among the captured men, and taken back to the apes' mostly pre-industrial city. As the talking ape civilisation learn that Taylor, "Bright Eyes" to them, can (eventually) speak and write, they put him on trial for heresy against the ape civilisation's sacred scrolls.Notable for its famous Earth All Along ending: Taylor escapes from the apes, finding a new life with his love Nova, and eventually discovers the ruins of the Statue of Liberty. He realized that Man destroyed himself, sent society back to the Stone Age, and allowed the apes to conquer.
The first movie contains examples of:

The 2001 remake
An astronaut, Leo (Mark Wahlberg), works in a space station where genetically enhanced apes have been trained to pilot space pods, to search and study a strange electromagnetic storm phenomenon. When it's found a chimpanzee flies into it and after his signal's cut, Leo chases it in another pod against orders, to save the chimp. The storm makes him travel in time, after which he crashes on the planet below, encounters some humans and is captured by highly evolved apes. He is enslaved with the rest of the humans. He is tortured by the apes until one (Helena Bonham Carter) takes pity on him and helps the humans escape. He goes to the apes' Forbidden Zone Calima to discover the crashed space station, which apparently has been there for thousands of years.There, the hero plays a recording made by the ship crew, which tells they decided to go after Leo, crashed, and the apes rebelled and killed most of them. An army of apes attacks and the astronaut responds by hitting them with the fuel from the station's tanks. When the ape army recovers, a large battle occurs until the original chimp returns in its space pod. It remembers Leo and shows affection towards him; the apes revere it as a God, thus they stop fighting and treat the humans fairly. Having achieved peace and become a hero, the astronaut decides to return home through the same electric spacestorm. He goes back to Earth... and discovers the civilization he used to know is now inhabited by talking apes.

Return to the Planet of the Apes
Occupying its own continuity, yet clearly drawing aspects from the first two films, Return to the Planet of the Apes is an animated series that was produced in the 1970s. In the year 1979, a small space shuttle with a three man crew is launched as part of an experiment in relativity, achieving a speed where one hundred years and multiple days goes past in almost no time at all for them. But then their ship develops a malfunction and goes blasting towards an alien planet, hurtling rapidly through time to the point that, when they crash-land in a lake, over 2000 years have passed for them. Setting out in hopes of finding civilisation, they discover themselves on a strange world of caveman-like humans and advanced, intelligent apes... which are not too welcoming towards the intelligent humans.

Conspiracy Of The Planet Of The Apes is the first in a planned series of six novels by Andrew E. C. Gaska intended to add to the movie canon and fill in some gaps. The second novel is currently scheduled for release in 2013, with a title of 'Death On The Planet Of The Apes' 'Conspiracy' centers on Landon and his ordeal while Taylor is with Zira and Cornelius in the first film. It also tells the story of Dr. Milo, and his endeavour to study and repair the damaged spacecraft.Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Firestorm is a novel that takes place in the days following Rise of the Planet of the Apes and released in 2014 to tie into the release of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

February 13, 2007Albany -- Torrential rain fell in Albany beginning a little before two o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and it caused problems for motorists.
A tree fell across Lockett Station Road, blocking traffic a short while. We got reports of a few other trees down, but no serious damage.
Areas that commonly flood during heavy rains did so. That included South Davis Street near Oglethorpe Boulevard. Public works crews set up a warning barrel. Some motorists drove through the high water, others turned around.
The traffic light at the busy intersection of Westover and Westgate went out during the height of the storm. Luckily, there were no crashes there because of the outage.
In other areas, the roof is torn off a house near the Thomas County community of Ochlocknee. The damage was reported shortly before 4:00PM. There are no reports of injuries, but witnesses told officials they thought the damage was caused by a tornado.

To my friends and fellow pastors in Houston and all of Texas,
I was thrilled that Gov. Perry would call a day of prayer at Reliant Stadium on Aug 6. This lawsuit attempting to bar Governor Perry from participating and even endorsing was filed by some of the same people who filed the lawsuit and forced the removal of the Bible outside the courthouse a few years ago. It's time to stop this nonsense.
The best way is for all of us to show up in mass. Would you join me in making a major push to get your congregations out? If we did, we could fill Reliant Stadium with just who we pastor, let alone everyone else. Would you also prioritize this in your personal schedule? Let's all lead together on this one.
If you have questions, concerns or would simply like more information please join us for a pastors' conference call as follows:
You can also download promotional materials, videos, etc. at www.theresponseusa.com and I would urge you to begin using all of these immediately as I am to activate your congregation.

You are here
The world is ruled by time.
Sitting on the white rocks littering a cliff, Charles Perry Elliott looked out over the bright blue Catalian Sea and turned a small blue ball over and over in his hands as the words echoed over and over again inside his head. Time. He'd never really thought of it before, but then, there were a lot of new things plaguing his mind since his life-altering trip back to Rothborne Parish three months ago. "The world is ruled buy time," however, was a concept that kept cropping up, and since his most recent bungle illustrated that so very painfully, it was worth revisiting the idea again. Because it would probably be a good thing if he didn't destroy the universe.
With a flan.
He'd tried to point out the black humor of it all, but his sister hadn't found it amusing in the slightest.
"Charles." She'd stood over the offending dessert, shaking her head for several seconds before she could resume her lecture. "Why? Why in the world would you behave so recklessly? And for nothing more than a dessert!"
The exasperation in her tone had made Charles's ears turn pink. "It was only ten minutes. It was taking too long, and as I stood here waiting with nothing to do but think, I realized how easy it would be to talk it into being done, so I did. Ten minutes! I only removed ten minutes, Madeline, and only from the flan. What harm could that possibly do?"
His sister, still white-faced, had put her hands on her hips. "Where did you put the ten minutes, Charles?"
He'd rubbed the back of his neck self-consciously and cleared his throat. "I just sort of…put them. You know. Out. Away."
"Just tell me you didn't put them in the Void," Madeline had said, clearly more afraid now than angry.
Shit. Charles had looked up at her, losing his breezy indifference. "That's bad?"
She'd made a sort of strangled sound and grabbed his hand, and the next thing he known they were standing in the chaotic cosmos of the Void.
Charles had been to the Void many, many times, and in fact most trips now he took alone. He liked to walk across the lines of time and space in his spirit body, trying to quiet the anxiety that expanded tighter and tighter through him every day. In the wildness that was the Void, he could pretend, for those moments he spent there, that everything was fine, that he was not a man, that he was not wandering aimlessly with his half-sister and his cousin through a foreign country, trying to solve the riddles of the universe and find his lost love with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon.
But when he had gone there with Madeline to look for the ten minutes, he found the Void to be quite, quite different.
The world is ruled by time.
The remembrance faded, and back on the rocks Charles stared down at his hands, at the small blue ball of light glowing softly against his palms. It was even bluer than the azure waters below him, bright blue but muted by white peaks and foam as it crashed upon the even whiter sandy shores. The ball was a blue that seemed to hum in the back of his mind, swirling gently inside the tender membrane keeping the chaos at bay.
This ruled the world, this strange blue stuff. In the Void it had been a sort of tentacled cancer yawing larger than anything Charles had ever seen before. Madeline had feared it, but Charles hadn't, for unlike his half-sister, he could see the extracted time for what it was: potential. He'd been mesmerized by the brilliance of it. A moment of it would have been enough to create a parallel universe. The barest scratch of a millisecond could alter the fabric of an entire world. And there was ten minutes of it, screaming mad into the black nothingness, tangling itself into the patterns of all the worlds that had ever been known and ever would be. Madeline had cowered and screamed.
Charles had laughed, opened his arms, and brought it home.
As the sea breeze kissed his face and ruffled his hair, Charles poked the bright blue ball hesitantly with his finger, watching the membrane dent briefly, sending the depths swirling into a new pattern around his intrusion. He made a soft chuff at the back of his throat and shook his head. Magic, he thought for the thousandth time, was a very strange beast. He lifted the ball and held it in front of his face as the new patterns fell into place. Time, it seemed, was even stranger.
When he'd still been in the Void, he'd played with it. As he'd held them, he'd had the fanciful thought that the flan's ten stolen minutes looked like a nest of snakes. No sooner did Charles think this, and the strange ropes of light grew heads, eyes, and mouths, and sharp, pointed teeth. There had been a lot of shouting then, and if Madeline hadn't coached him into thinking of something calmer and easier to contain, it might have been the strangest death of a god, ever.
"Damn your imagination," Madeline had said, many hours later, when they were both collapsed on her bed at the inn. She buried her cheek against the covers and shut her eyes. "I told you never to let your thoughts wander in the Void. It's bad enough for any novice, but you, Charles, create things."
Charles stared up at the ceiling, remembering the way the time snake's teeth had felt as they cut through him. He could still feel the bite on his leg—Madeline had taken away the wound, but it still hurt.
"Why did that happen?" he asked. "Why were they there? Why were they able to turn into snakes?"
"Time rules the world," she had said, "but you rule them both. When you put even a small amount of time into the Void—when you put it there, Charles, because no one else could even have attempted such a thing—it changed. Or rather, its innate ability to change, to alter, to allow growth and death and discovery, became open to something more. It merely needs its creator to tell it what to be."
Charles had held his hands up over his face and stared at them. The hands of god. He'd made a face, then lowered them again. "So in my idiocy I made them snakes?"
"And then you made them that blue chaos," Madeline had added, "and now they wait for you to make them something permanent."
This had lead to quite a philosophical discussion, which was always dangerous because Charles had difficulty with those, but as far as he could understand it, the ball of time had altered, and now it needed to be something else. It had grown, and now it was more. Which was why he couldn't just put it back in the flan, because it was so big it would create a Continent's worth of flan, or make a single flan so dense it would sink through the center of the earth and make it implode upon itself. Madeline had advised him to study it, to learn the weight and limits of it, and when he felt he had an appropriate understanding of it, she would help him turn it into something else.
And as she'd gone off to weapon's practice with Jonathan, she'd begged him to please, please not do any more new magic without discussing it with her first. Charles had agreed—sheepishly—and gone off to the cliffs to think. And he was still there, many hours later. But he'd stopped thinking about possibilities of the time ball a long time ago, because the first idea his mind had come up with had been so consuming that he hadn't been able to dwell on anything else, only the ways to execute the plan.
Because while he wasn't sure, while surely it was too simple, he couldn't stop thinking that maybe, just maybe, he could use the time ball to bring Timothy back.
The thought had started innocently enough. He'd been thinking what a strange dish flan was, like the custards he knew from home in Etsey and yet not like them at all. He'd realized Timothy had likely grown up with flan, and then the familiar sorrow had returned, reminding him had things been different, had he been stronger or smarter or something Timothy could be with him now, and then Charles felt so impotent and full of rage—and then the idea had dawned like a sunrise in his mind. He had a ball of time big enough to spawn a universe.
Could it bring back a man?
Charles skimmed his thumb across the swirling surface of the ball. That had been an incorrect question, he'd realized after about an hour's mad scheming. Could the ball of time be a man? Easily. A man, a woman, a bit of both—truthfully, it would almost need to be two. Could it bring back a man, as in, bring a man back to life from death? Yes. Just. As with so much of his power, Charles could see what he could do without understanding exactly why, could know his potential without understanding all that potential contained. It led him constantly into trouble, as with the flan. Whenever he recovered from his bungle it all seemed so obvious, how he'd been ridiculous, but in the moment of action it was always so easy and clear there seemed no reason not to try out the ideas dancing in his mind. This idea, bringing back Timothy, was very tricky, and so it warranted a great deal of examination, and tempting as it was to act on impulse, he wouldn't risk it without Madeline. Not for this.
He stared hard at the ball, relaxing his mind to let the deep knowing inside him rise forth and whisper. Could this ball of time be a man? Could it?
Yes, the knowing whispered. But not that man.
It was the same answer Charles had received every time he'd tried to find a new way. The ball of time had a lot of power. But then, so did Timothy. And that must be accounted for.
Charles shut his eyes and set his teeth against the ache rising inside him. It was the same problem they kept running into, he and Madeline as they tried to construe magical theorems as to how Timothy could be brought back. It was why, Madeline said, they would need the shards, the veils—the magical pieces of the Goddess had strewn across the world to rescue her lover. Which she'd done—Charles was the living proof. All he wanted to do now was return the favor.
But how would they find pieces of the Goddess? What did they look like? Where, exactly would they hide? Jonathan had been convinced the place to look was Catal, in the country where Timothy had been born, but so far all they had found was ruin and death and dust.
And flan.
Charles opened his eyes again and stared blearily down at the blue ball of time. So many uncertainties, many of them full of despair and darkness. If they did find a shard, would it give them Timothy, or just another version of the Goddess? Would he have to be reborn completely, leaving Charles to lust after a toddler?
Would Timothy remember Charles? Or would he love alone, in vain?
Charles didn't know. He didn't know the answers to any of his questions. He didn't know how to find Timothy or the Lady or even a decent pint of ale in the ruined costal cities of Catal. He didn't know anything. He couldn't do anything. Any efforts he made to save his lost love were like this stupid ball of time—accidental, unexplained, and potentially catastrophic. They would never find so much as one piece of the Lady, not at the rate they were going. They knew nothing, they had nothing, and nothing was changing.
Perhaps it was time to face the truth: Timothy was gone. Forever.
Charles's thumb brushed against the bright blue pulse, his vision blurring.
Timothy is gone forever. But I have ten minutes of spare time sitting in my hand.
Could he use the ball to go back in time? That took a lot of energy, he knew, and he had the feeling it would leave the ball being nothing more than what he'd pulled out: ten minutes. It was hardly any time at all, just enough to tease—but if it was the choice of that, or nothing, was there even a choice at all? He could go back. He could find Timothy and see him again.
And if he had more time—if he took ten minutes out of something else, if he withdrew more time and let it expand further, if he did this over and over again, he could keep going back forever.
Perhaps he could keep Timothy from dying, eventually, if he got smart enough.
But what would happen to the world, if he went back in time? What if he changed the wrong thing? What if he hurt people? What would happen to him, if he manipulated himself out of existence?
Did he care?
Charles lifted the ball of time and held it in front of his face. The ball had been, briefly, alive. It wanted life again. It didn't yet have consciousness, and it had no aim, but it had desire. It wanted to live. It wanted to be anything and everything, and it had no preference if this was a life of love or pain, if it was an existence as a rock that did nothing more but be worn away by wind and water or if it were an insect living long enough to be eaten by a bird. And he could put it anywhere. It could be anything. Anyone.
Except Timothy.
But maybe, maybe, if he kept studying it, he could find a way for it to be a version of Timothy. If only he could stop the voice in the back of his head that kept shouting at him that this was a very, very, very bad idea, he might get it done.
Charles opened his hand again, looked down at the ball, and sighed.
"I am a very bad god," he told the ball.
It winked eagerly back at him, indifferent to his declaration.
Charles rose, wearily, and tucked the time ball into his pocket. The sun was starting to set, and Madeline and Jonathan would be back soon. He would tell Madeline what he had discovered, and he would let her advise him about the ball. He would not spin it into a life, and he would not go back to see Timothy. Not without telling her.
Maybe I should just die and put this farce to rest, he thought, bitterly, and not for the first time.
"Yes," said an unfamiliar voice from behind him. "Perhaps you should."
Charles straightened and turned, surprised. He frowned as he saw a dark-skinned man with shoulder-length hair standing on a high rock, dressed in a white shirt and pants, staring down at him. He had bare feet, which should have been bloody after climbing over these razors, but in fact, not his feet nor anything else on his person was so much as mussed.
He smiled down at Charles with equally perfect dispassion.
He looked weirdly familiar.
"Do I know you?" Charles asked, turning full on to face him.
The stranger's smile tipped crookedly. Damn and blast, but there was something about him. Something…pulling Charles to him.
"Who I am will take some time to explain," the stranger replied at last.
"I have plenty of time. Plus a bit extra, in fact." Charles laughed bitterly at his own joke and stood. He held out his hands, gesturing to the rocks beside him. "Come, sir. Have a seat, and we will tell each other stories."
For a moment the stranger's face went oddly flat and unreadable. But it must have been a trick of the light, for then the smile was back, wide and bright, white teeth against beautiful skin the color of the flan Timothy had nearly destroyed the world with.
"I'd love nothing more," the stranger said, and continued to make his way down the rocks towards Charles.
It wasn't until the man looked away, glancing at something over his shoulder on the other side of the hill beyond what Charles could see that Charles realized that the stranger's opening piece of conversation had been in response to a private thought, not his speech. Which in Charles's world wasn't even novel any longer. But he realized, too, what it was that he had thought: that perhaps the world would be better off if he were dead.
The stranger turned back to Charles once more, but this time there was nothing but malevolence in his smile. And with sinking dread Charles realized why the man seemed so familiar.
He was androghenie. A magical child of the Lord and Lady, Charles's own son, standing before him.
Looking very much as if he'd like to murder dear old dad.
"Shit," Charles whispered, backed up against a large rock, and reached into his pocket to clutch desperately at the pulsing, eager ball of potential time.

This was delicious!! I wasn't sure how keen my kids would be on the lox separate from the cream cheese, so I combined the cream cheese with the lox/peppers/onion mix and then just filled the tomatoes with the result. I then topped with dill and voila! Everyone loved them, including my chef father-in-law. I had leftover filling, so I mixed in dill and refrigerated it overnight for bagels. Yum!

How to Protect Your Legal Rights:Your legal rights will differ from state to state so I suggest you research you state divorce laws. We all have rights that are protected by the Bill of Rights and those rights are in place during divorce proceedings. Just as they are at all times. We all have the right to not be harassed, physically abused or intimidated. Laws are set in place to keep either spouse from such behavior. No party to a divorce action should ever...
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: Thirty - Sixty Days
Here's How:
- Never conceal, destroy, damage, transfer, or otherwise dispose of property owned by either or both of the spouses, without the other spouse's consent or a prior or family court.
- Never move minor children outside the jurisdiction of the court. In some states they can be moved up to 150 miles away but have to stay within the state.
- Never hide the minor children from each other. If your children reside with you, you must make them available for your spouse to visit.
- Never use credit accounts that are in your spouses name alone.Issues such as finances and who pays for what can be protected by petitioning the court for temporary orders. If you have joint credit accounts and are concerned about your spouse running up debt, you will have to get special protection from the courts.
- Never harm, threaten to harm or harrass your spouse.If your spouse has become violent, you may seek a restraining order. Law Enforcment officials more willing to respond to domestic violence calls if there is a restraining order in place. If you are in a violent situation it is best to put yourself in a position of getting the help you need quickly. Don't fail to protect yourself
- Never disregard temporary court orders. Having temporary court orders can help alleviate any anxiety you feel as far as your legal rights being protected during divorce. We all have legal rights in place but if you have a temporary court order you have added protection from a spouse who might try and cross the boundaries where your legal rights are concerned.

Uriah Hall may be one of the best talents to ever come out of The Ultimate Fighter. The 7-2 middleweight out of Queens, New York faces Kelvin Gastelum at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale and is one win away from being crowned TUF 17 champion. His exciting striking style has some MMA fans believing he could be a potential contender down the road, if not UFC champion. While that may be a little bit too ambitious right now, he's certainly entertaining and has produced some dynamite KOs on the show.
Today we're going to focus on Uriah in a special edition of the BE GIFathon. You've seen him stop Dylan Andrews with strikes from the bottom, shatter Bubba McDaniel in 9 seconds, and absolutely blast Adam Cella with his spinning heel kick, but now you're going to see some of his work before his TUF days. As usual, Zombie Prophet provided the GIFs and Dallas Winston will chime in with commentary.
vs. Mike Iannone (MMA debut, 2005)
Mookie: Okay, there's not much to analyze over a 44 second fight where Uriah Hall wins his pro debut by blasting Mike Iannone with two uppercuts, so I'm going to take this in a completely different direction. Iannone has one other pro fight listed on his record, a submission win over a guy named Peter Storm. That name belongs in either a D-level pro wrestling organization or in the porn industry.
Dallas: Ah yes, the ol' "squat down and pretend your hands are actually earmuffs" defense. Hall's obviously trained to counter that defense specifically.
vs. Edwin Aguilar (2009)
Mookie: Believe it or not, Hall had a one-off in Bellator against Edwin Aguilar. This finishing sequence resulted in the very rare head kick TKO (as opposed to the usual head kick KO). Was it an unjust stoppage? Aguilar was definitely hurt but he didn't look out on his feet. Nevertheless, this fight does show much of what you've already seen of Hall on TUF. It looks like Aguilar was complaining about a thumb to the eye from a Hall jab, but the referee was having none of that. One of the things you'll notice about Hall's kicks is that he goes low and then high with his right leg, which is what he used to finish off Aguilar.
Dallas: I don't care to perpetuate Rogan's ongoing tirade about eye pokes, but this outcome is frustrating to the onlookers and ten-times more so for the victimized fighter. Regardless of whether the poke was legit or not, there are few occurrences that cause a professional fighter to completely lose his focus, and feeling like your eyeball just traveled backward through your brain to collide with the back of your inner-skull is one. As Mookie mentioned, it's beautiful (but a tad risky against a poised counter-striker) how Hall goes low and then upstairs (twice) with the kick. This is reminiscent of Daron Cruickshank's high-kick barrage against the dazed Henry Martinez.
vs. Aung La Nsung (2011)
Mookie: Hall had little trouble dispatching Aung La Nsung, whose name doesn't quite make an anagram for "Auld Lang Syne". Nsung was clearly buzzed by the first right hand, and Hall just took his time, measured up his next shot and delivered the finishing straight right hand right down the pipe. I think the referee is Dan Mirgaliotta, in which case it's rare footage of him actually stopping a fight at the right time.
Dallas: What I appreciate the most about Hall is his mastery of basics and his lightning-fast straight right is the best example. I think zinging a simple and straight right has probably supplanted the jab as MMA's most criminally under-utilized basic weapon.
vs. Daniel Akinyemi (2012)
Mookie: We saw Uriah Hall try and submit Dylan Andrews with a kimura in the TUF 17 semifinals, well here's a heel hook submission win against Daniel Akinyemi at Ring of Combat in New Jersey. Akinyemi is able to complete a takedown in the closing stages of round 1. He stands up and then as he comes back down and tries to rain down more ground-and-pound, Hall immediately traps the right leg and starts working on the heel hook. I don't have a different angle, but Akinyemi appears to tap with both hands.
Dallas: It is seriously hazardous to attempt a heel hook with your back against the cage like this, as the most common defense is to step away from the pressure, which forces the attacker to roll in the same direction to sustain the pressure/submission, and the cage would've prevented (or made it damn tough) for Hall to do so. However, it works here, and nicely exhibits the creative diversity that has people excited about Hall.
Don't forget folks, this stacked month of MMA (and boxing, don't forget the boxing!) continues with April 19th and 26th GIFathons for UFC on Fox 7 and UFC 159 respectively.

Efforts to legalize marijuana for medical use stalled in the Minnesota House, and any action on a Senate version of the legislation must wait until after the Easter-Passover holiday break.
A public hearing on SF 1641, a bill introduced last May, was held Thursday before the Senate Committee on Health, Human Services and Housing.2.5 OZ LIMIT
Sen. Scott Dibble (DFL-Minneapolis) amended the bill to no longer allow home growing of marijuana plants. The bill would require users to have a registered ID card and would limit them to 2.5 oz of "usable cannabis."
Jessica Hauser told the committee her son, Wyatt, suffers 100 seizures each day, and she's seen medical marijuana help similar patients. She said she doesn't want to leave the state, but will if the Legislature doesn't pass a medical marijuana law.
"I'm begging you, the lawmakers of this state, to make this drug available," Hauser testified.PHOTO: Jessica Hauser testifies before Senate committee
Minnesota Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Ed Ehlinger told senators "the trust of the health care system is based upon rigorously-tested drugs," and he's worried the medical marijuana bill under consideration creates a "risky short cut" to full testing.
"21st century physicians don't want to provide 19th century medicine," Ehlinger said.
Ehlinger said some preliminary tests show CBE medical marijuana only works in 10 percent of children with epilepsy – the same group of patients that were a catalyst in Gov. Mark Dayton's push for passage of compassionate legislation this session.For these reasons, Dr. Ehlinger asked senators to reject SF 1641 until thorough scientific testing is done on medical marijuana. Sen. John Marty (DFL –Roseville) told Dr. Ehlinger that he understands his desire for perfect science, but questions whether certain patients can wait.Ehlinger said there are about 171 clinical trials on medical marijuana, and a trial here could get underway in about 6 months. Sen. Dibble refuted the commissioner's claim, saying there is no way a trial could get underway in 6 month with current legal barriers.DOCTOR: 'PEOPLE DON'T DIE FROM MARIJUANA'
Dr. Jacob Mirman was one of the first to testify at Thursday's hearing.
"People don't die from marijuana," he said, adding that marijuana is safer than Tylenol and Advil, and less addictive than other drugs.
Mirman admitted there's not enough research on medical marijuana, but said that's due in part to its illegal status.MEDICAL CONDITIONS COVERED BY SF 1641
The bill mirrors one that has stalled in the House following resistance from law enforcement, and would allow doctors to prescribe marijuana so that patients could use it to treat the following conditions:
- AIDS/HIV- Cancer- Crohn's disease- Debilitating pain- Epilepsy- Glaucoma- Hepatitis C- Multiple Sclerosis- Post-traumatic stress disorder- Seizures- Severe nausea- Severe, persistent muscle spasms- Tourette's syndrome

Before you start
Learn what these tutorials can teach you and how you can get the most from them.
The Linux Professional Institute (LPI) certifies Linux system administrators at two levels: junior level (also called "certification level 1") and intermediate level (also called "certification level 2"). To attain certification level 1, you must pass exams 101 and 102; to attain certification level 2, you must pass exams 201 and 202.
developerWorks offers tutorials to help you prepare for each of the four exams. Each exam covers several topics, and each topic has a corresponding self-study tutorial on developerWorks. For LPI exam 102, the nine topics and corresponding developerWorks tutorials are:
|LPI exam 102 topic

- Perform easy maintenance tasks: help out users, add users to a larger system, back up and restore, and shut down and reboot
- Install and configure a workstation (including X) and connect it to a LAN, or connect a stand-alone PC via modem to the Internet
To continue preparing for certification level 1, see the developerWorks tutorials for LPI exams 101 and 102, as well as the entire set of developerWorks LPI tutorials.
The Linux Professional Institute does not endorse any third-party exam preparation material or techniques in particular. For details, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Welcome to "Kernel," the first of nine tutorials designed to prepare you for LPI exam 102. In this tutorial, you learn how to build, install, and query a Linux kernel and its kernel modules.
This tutorial is organized according to the LPI objectives for this topic. Very roughly, expect more questions on the exam for objectives with higher weight.
|LPI exam objective
|Objective weight
|Objective summary
Manage and query kernel and kernel modules at runtime
|Weight 4
|Learn to query and manage a kernel and kernel-loadable modules.
Reconfigure, build, and install a custom kernel and kernel modules
|Weight 3
|Learn to customize, build, and install a kernel and kernel-loadable modules from source.
To get the most from this tutorial, you should have a basic knowledge of Linux and a working Linux system on which to practice the commands covered in this tutorial.
This tutorial builds on content covered in previous tutorials in
this LPI series, so you may want to first review the tutorials for exam 101. In particular, you should be very familiar
with the material from LPI exam 101 prep:
Hardware and architecture tutorial.
Different versions of a program may format output differently, so your results may not look exactly like the listings and figures in this tutorial.

President Obama has postponed another part of Obamacare that was promised to save Americans money. They say a lot of companies aren't logistically ready for it. But I think the court needs to look at whether the President has the authority to do that.

Quick-Disconnect Dewatering-Drying System
October 20, 2010
The new dewatering-drying system consists of a circular vibratory screener integrated with a circular fluid bed dryer that removes oversize and undersize particles while dewatering and drying on-size material. The 30-inch screener together with the 40-inch diameter dryer, removes up to 50 gallons water per minute, and dries up to 700 lbs of on-size particles per hour. The screener is equipped with an imbalanced-weight gyratory motor that vibrates the screening chamber, which is suspended on springs. Undersize fines and water pass through the lower screen onto an integral metal chute and through a third spout for reprocessing. The circular fluid bed dryer is typically half the size and weight of a rectangular fluid bed dryer of equivalent capacity, according to the manufacturer. Inherent strength of the circular processor eliminates the need for heavy-gauge walls and cross braces otherwise required to withstand continuous vibration, allowing vibratory motors to be downsized. The circular unit also requires only one air inlet and outlet and has fewer weld seams, reducing overall size and construction cost, especially when finished to 3-A, FDA, and BISSC sanitary standards. Cleaning time is reduced by the interior seams and accessibility afforded by a quick-disconnect housing.

Post Reports Good News (Zuh?) for Devils' Finances
Our old buddy Josh Kosman is back, but, surprisingly, with some good news this time. And just because this news is positive(-ish), it doesn't mean it won't be surrounded by that trademark NY Post cloud of mystery. So the good news? Apparently, a new investor - well known mogul, "deep-pocketed mystery investor" - is closing in on a deal to purchase the $80 million dollar debt payment we've all heard so much about. With such reliable sources, such as "these sources," "a source," "sources," and our old buddy, "a source close to the situation," this story is as good as bulletproof. Reportedly, the attempt to capitalize the TV deal failed and Chambers/Brick City were never able to cash out. J-Kos also reports the Devils were closing in on bankruptcy if this deal didn't happen, though the explanation offered is less than clear as to how long the team really had to raise the necessary cash. A condition of the purchase is that Vanderbeek apparently has to raise a bunch of cash by the fall or he will be forced to sell the team. Again, it's the Post, so grain-of-salt on all of this, folks. As is customary in these reports, the Devils couldn't be reached for comment. In seriousness, this seems to be good news, and while the Post should never be treated as gospel (stop laughing, it's rude), I'm willing to be cautiously optimistic.

While we revealed to you last year that was on its way, even our almost supernatural detection skills couldn't conjure up any more mystical information beyond that tiny, lonely factoid.
But now we can and, what's more, we can show you the first three screens from True Crime 2 Streets of Hong Kong.
For this follow-up to the spooky but popular True Crime Streets of LA, Nick Kang's patch has moved from South Central to South East Asia and he's making the jump to the next generation of consoles.
So following a similar pattern to the first game, this Orient-set sequel will unfold over 30 missions using the power of the, so far unseen, Xbox 2 and PS3 consoles.
The game is currently expected to materialise in 2006, although we'd imagine that it'll make an appearance at May's E3 show.
True Crime 2 Streets of Hong Kong will be released for PS3 and Xbox 2 in 2006

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
styledotcom Get a sneak peek at the most anticipated Spring '15 shows: stylem.ag/1lxuTtm pic.twitter.com/6t4JUoZCDd
At the moment, the only thing on the minds of fashion insiders is New York fashion week. Jen Rade, the Hollywood stylist behind Angelina Jolie's winning red-carpet looks, is the exception. The L.A.-based Rade, who came in at number six on The Hollywood Reporter's 25 Most Powerful Stylists list this year, is in New York this week to promote her new gig as a spokeswoman for T.J.Maxx and Marshalls, and she doesn't plan on staying in the city for next week's madness. "Other than the editors and buyers there, most people at the shows are just scenesters," Rade tells Style.com. "So instead of going and sitting in the dark scribbling little shorthand notes and hearts on the program, I'd rather go on Style.com and look at each look slowly without all the clamor and illusion."Surprisingly enough, Rade doesn't really have any favorite designers or labels, either. "It's about the individual piece. It makes no difference to me who made it, where it came from, if that designer's hot or not right now," says Rade, who also dresses Pink and Kim Kardashian, among others (and originally started out in the business doing costume design for hip-hop videos for the likes of Snoop Dogg, Tupac, and LL Cool J). "Sometimes there will be a year where I hate everything from a certain designer, and then all of a sudden our aesthetics will align."So how does she create so many smash hits (think: Jolie's now notorious Atelier Versace gown at the Oscars this year and the sky-high slit that went with it)? "They're not my dolls to dress and we have to agree on what they like. Ultimately, confidence is the best accessory," she advises. "After all, these women are the ones who have to walk around with all the lights blaring and photographers up their asses. I'm like, 'Take a Xanax and good luck to you.' It's very nerve-racking for all parties involved, but I have to just put them in the limo and let go."

Banks, insurance companies, and brokerages have all been investing heavily in consumer mobile apps for years now. The result: enhanced customer service; bolstered loyalty; innovative services (e.g., mobile remote deposit); improved services for sophisticated users, especially those in more-developed countries; and improved services for unbanked and underbanked households, especially those in less-developed countries.
Why, then, are most financial services institutions hesitant to tout their return on these investments? More importantly, how can they bring a real ROI to their bottom line?
I recommend investing in mobile and tablet-based dashboard versions of the critical business applications that empower financial institution employees to perform key tasks remotely. These apps use secure API tools that provide a variety of data points from many different legacy applications and offer drilldown capability to give decision-makers the ability to make critical, time-sensitive choices on-the-fly.
Imagine how these apps can provide value to:
Still, while there are many options for deploying mobile technology, there are likewise many questions that you should ask your vendor when seeking mobile access to their legacy applications, including:
Most legacy vendor applications were designed for an era when employees accessed information within the financial institution's four walls. Back then, remote accessibility wasn't an option.
But today's vendor applications need to be designed differently. In order to maximize productivity gains, they must be designed to meet the high standards of convenience and ease-of-use expected by the employee/agent population. They must possess a "wow" factor, especially if they're to be presented to clients.
Achieving all of this may be less complicated for smaller financial services institutions willing to rely on a sole vendor to bring their legacy applications into the mobile era.
But achieving all of this may be more complicated for larger financial services institutions. They tend to operate in a best-of-breed environment, maintain multiple vendor solutions and home-grown systems, and employ corporate superstars whose specific demands must be met.
That makes the build-out of their mobile applications a herculean task, as they have to rely on APIs to integrate legacy applications with mobile devices, give those devices access to important and sensitive customer and product data, and properly secure and manage all the integration points properly. If they don't -- if the integration points are poorly secured and mismanaged -- the institution will become vulnerable to unauthorized data access, something that no amount of improved employee efficiency and enhanced bottom lines can mitigate.
Financial services institutions can bring a real ROI to their bottom line by taking advantage of today's mobile and tablet-based dashboard applications, but the transition is not to be taken lightly. Bringing legacy applications into the mobile era is a challenge for even the most experienced vendors, as each financial institution's information technology has its own distinct character, fraught with unique obstacles and peculiarities that must be accounted for in order to keep security uncompromised. Those institutions that ask the questions above, however, will give their foray into mobile its best chance for success, and with that success will come an enhanced employee efficiency that the C-suite will soon wonder how they ever did without.

Queen leads Easter service at Windsor Castle
Members of the Royal Family were led by the Queen at the traditional Easter Sunday service at Windsor Castle today.
A crowd of well-wishers gathered outside St George's Chapel to see the royals as they arrived for the Mattins service on a cold March morning.
The Queen, who was joined by the Duke of Edinburgh, wore a long pink coat and matching hat accessorised by a flower.
Princess Eugenie wore a cream dress and hat with a black coat, while her sister, Princess Beatrice, wore a turquoise dress and coat, with a yellow hat. Their father, the Duke of York, was also at the service.

LANCASTER (AP) Ś A Pennsylvania womanÆs 44 furry friends arenÆt welcome anymore.
Rhonda Goss has been ordered to cut the cat population at her Manheim Township home after someone complained. A township ordinance limits pet owners to five grown cats or dogs.
Goss says sheÆs a cat lover who takes in strays and abused animals, making sure theyÆre fed and fixed. GossÆ veterinarian says the cats kept at the four-bedroom home are well cared-for.
But assistant township zoning officer Samuel Maurer says the rules are the rules. Goss has until Dec. 21 to get down to five cats.
Neighbors tell the Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era (http://bit.ly/TzFzo9) theyÆre surprised how many cats Goss had because they havenÆt been a nuisance.
Goss says she is seeking good homes for them.

The Atlanta Falcons hired Mike Nolan as their defensive coordinator. Nolan spent the last two years in the same position with the Miami Dolphins

A look at the connections between the Miami Dolphins and Oakland Raiders. The Raiders travel to Miami on Sunday, and bring with them center Samon Satele, the Dolphins 2007 second round draft choice.
In his week three instalment of "Stock Watch", Tim Graham gives two of the three "Rising Stock" slots to our Dolphins. Both Mike Nolan and Cameron Wake received the honours for the dominate play of the Miami defence. I'm not sure how prestigious these honours actually are though, since Mark Sanchez is the other player listed. But I suppose after the numbers he put up week one you really can't go anywhere but up.
Some more positive reviews roll in about new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan.
The Dolphins made a quick strike by signing Mike Nolan to run their defense. How did it happen so quickly? And what will it mean to this defense?

Wanted to see how Pedro was doing since he was returned to AAA, not very good, just continued with what he was doing with the Bucs, 3 for 25, 1-xbh a double, 0 rbi, 4BB's, 10K's. It got me thinking about what the team would look like if our 1st round picks from those years actually looked like early 1st round picks. Players from these drafts should be the foundation for the team right now and should be rising stars but instead we have got very little from them. Lincoln was taken at 4, following him were 5- Brandon Morrow, 7- Kershaw, 10- Lincecum, 11- Sherzer, and 21- Ian Kennedy. Moskos also at 4, followed by, 5- O's starting catcher, 9- Jarrod Parker, 10- Bumgarner, 14- Heyward, and 15- Mesoraco. Alvarez at 2, followed by, 3- Hosmer, 5- Posey, 16- Lawrie and 18- Ike Davis. Sanchez at 4, followed by, 6- Wheeler, 7- Minor, 8- Leake, 9- Jacob Turner, 13- Grant Green, 19- Shelby Miller and 25- Trout. Now I realize hindsight is 20-20 and at the time some players would be considered stretches where we picked but some fell for other reasons and were discussed as early picks. Just imagine if we had Kershaw, Weiters, and Hosmer as rising stars and Wheeler or Turner right behind them on their way. These are the players that added with Cutch, Tabata and Walker, should be the core of the team moving forward and shrink the gap between the major league talent and all the young players in the low minors. Now the gap seems like the grand canyon, and the core moving forward is few instead of many, and now the waiting for Taillon and Cole and Allie and Bell begins. I'm not saying we would have taken any of those guys if there was a re-draft, but just imagine if we did. At the time of each draft, who did you want the Bucs to take and where is that player now? In between all those hits, there still were a lot of misses.
And idk why some players are tagged and some aren't.

We're getting an inside look at the cockroach-infested home belonging to an El Mirage couple arrested for child abuse.
Richard and Sabrina Garcia's home was full of trash and rotting food -- and the pictures may disturb you. El Mirage police said they've never been inside a house that was so dirty.
There were thousands of cockroaches all over the house -- in the sink, coming out of cupboards, and even in the fridge crawling in food.
Six children between the ages of 4 and 12 were turned over to CPS and placed in a grandparent's custody.
"It was very sad to see that and seeing the pictures, it's just overwhelming," says Detective Robert Peoples from the El Mirage Police Department. "One of the little kids had actually cockroaches crawling on him and actually when he was walking through the house he stepped in piles of refried beans on the floor."
Officers were first called out to the home for an argument on Sunday night. When they arrived, police say Sabrina Garcia blamed her kids for the condition of the home.
"The kids actually complained about the bugs crawling on them and she told the kids it was their fault and they need to clean up their own mess."
At her initial court hearing, Sabrina Garcia asked the judge if she could go back home to clean up.
"Can I just go home like right now and start cleaning up everything that the officers want me to fix," she asked the judge. Garcia was released and her friends helped her clean the house.
Despite the arrest, the couple's friends say they love their kids. They say she's a loving mother who made a mistake and wants her kids back.
As for Richard Garcia, he's being held on a $5,000 bond. Both were charged with 6 counts of child abuse.

`Make NIXI more effective'
Our Bureau
New Delhi , May 30
In a bid to improve the effectiveness of the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI), the TRAI today recommended various measures including setting up NIXI nodes in all State capitals.
The TRAI said that the recommendations are based on observations that a limited number of ISPs have joined the NIXI node.
"Major problems identified for this are non-interconnected (standalone) NIXI nodes and also some ISPs not announcing all their routes on NIXI, which is resulting in a lot domestic Internet traffic still being routed via US/abroad."
It added that the cost of leased lines required for connecting ISP's node to NIXI node is also holding back smaller ISPs from non-metros to join NIXI nodes at metros.

This economy is the perfect time to step back and evaluate career choices. The timing for starting a business has never been better. You will be poised for the inevitable upturn. Prices are lower than they've ever been. People are open to bartering. Labor is less expensive. The tax advantages alone make it financially rewarding.
I've been around the business block a time or two. I have won big and I've taken some licks along the way. I'm a battle scarred entrepreneur ready to share the realities of what happens when someone is brave enough to step out of comfort zones.

Brian Cushing | LB | Houston Texans
Posted: 4/17/2014 3:33pm et
Houston Texans LB Brian Cushing (knee) was medically cleared Thursday, April 17.
Huddle Up: Cushing is regarded as one of the Texans' defensive leaders, but it's hard to set to tone from the sideline as he's missed 21 of of the team's 33 games, including the playoffs, over the past 2 seasons due to injury issues.
Posted: 10/21/2013 12:37am et
Updating a previous report, Houston Texans LB Brian Cushing (knee) was on crutches after the Week 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to the left knee injury he suffered during the game. He is believed to have a torn lateral cruciate ligament in his left leg which will likely require surgery. The injury is not believed to be as bad as last season when he missed 11 games due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee, but he is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the season. He is also believed to have a broken leg, according to sources. He will have an MRI Monday, Oct. 21.
Huddle Up: Cushing is snakebitten. Darryl Sharpton might be your best bet at replacing Cushing in IDP leagues.
Posted: 9/4/2013 12:27am et
Houston Texans LB Brian Cushing agreed to terms Tuesday, Sept. 3 on a 6-year contract extension that pays $55.643 million, with $21 million guaranteed.
Huddle Up: Cushing totalled 29 tackles, one interception, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in 5 games before an ACL tear cut his season short. There's no question the Texans' D has more teeth with Cushing in the lineup, but we'll see if he can live up to his shiny new deal.

Check, I'm not talking about all of the punches were light "clips", but as the fight went on, there were times he wasn't hit flush, but wobbled like he took dead square on the chops.
Yes...that's what I'm talkin' about....he still feels like he has something to prove. Unfortunately, I'm afraid the "boxing" Tim Bradley may have permanently left the building.
Well he was concussed early in the fight lol. Seemed sort of like berto during the ortiz fight
You're right, the one thing you can't do against counterpunchers is become predictable (which is what Pac did also) and JMM is always looking to set you up as you come to him. I think this fight will go the distance but if there is a KO it will be JMM putting TB to sleep.
If TB KOs marquez somehow he's a fucking beast!

Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery
The World > Asia > Philippines
The town's underground cemetery is a one of a kind structure in the Philippines. Built in 1845 by Padre Vicente Velloc as an exclusive burial ground for Spanish friars, the cemetery is enclosed by 240 above-ground crypts embedded on the circular wall which is comparable to Paco Cemetery.
Some say that Padre Velloc also built the underground passage leading to five underground chapels where solitary masses are held. The underground passages were said to have continued all the way to Mount Banahaw. These passages were sealed off and the location remains unknown.

The Philippines are an archipelago of more than seven thousand islands off the southeast coast of Asia. Only half of these islands have been named and roughly one thousand are inhabited. Look at how beautiful they are! People first arrived here from the mainland around 25,000 B.C. by crossing a land bridge which existed at the time.
The name comes from Ferdinand Magellan of Portugal, who explored the Philippines in 1521. He claimed them in service of Spain, naming them after Prince Philip. Spain controlled the Philippines for the next 350 years until the Philippine Revolution of 1896.
Here's a picture of Fort Santiago, where the national hero Jose Rizal was imprisoned prior to his execution. He was a poet and novelist who supported peaceful reform, rather than violent revolution, against the Spanish government.
This is one of poems in which he describes the creation of the world, as a gift to his mother:
"Say they that tell of the world, the first dawn of the sun, the first kiss that his bosom inflamed, when thousands of beings surged out of nothing, and peopled the depths, and to the heights mounted, to wherever his fecund kiss was implanted"
Violent revolution broke out anyway and the Philippines changed hands from Spanish, to American, to Japanese control over the next fifty years. Following World War Two they finally became an independent republic.
Back to the beautiful ocean! You can dream about the Cafe Del Mar resort next time you find your screen saver kicking in when you're still sitting at the desk staring blankly. There's a series of DJ mixes with this title but I don't know if it refers to the same place. I would not be surprised.

The question of the day is if the A's get a draft pick from the Jays for Shannon Stewart.
This raises a question I have had for a number of years now:
Does anyone know why Draft Picks are not part of Trades in Baseball. In the NFL, NBA and NHL you always hear of draft picks being packaged as part of trades/transactions.
I understand that a generation ago most drafted players were high school kids who were 4-5 years away from the Bigs.
Today it is not uncommon for a first rounder to be in the big leagues within a year.
If i were a GM (yeah, yeah, but I'm not and what do I know? ;) ), I'd ask for a first round pick as part of a deal, and i'd also try to get a 2nd and a 3rd thrown in. I believe a high round draft pick carries a lot of value with the quality of talent in College Baseball.
Anyone know the answer?
