Hoosierteacher had a good diary before last week's game about the state of our roster heading into next year. I had actually been thinking about a similar diary, but looking a bit farther ahead. I see a solid chunk of veteran contributors who will be gone soon (either this year or after the 2008 season). These are T Henry (depends on the suspension obviously), R Smith, Nalen, S Adams, N Webster, Lynch. There are another handful of guys who may last through 2009 but no longer: B Stokely, S Alexander, E Ekuban, W Holdman, I Gold, N Ferguson, Elam, Sauerbrun. Lastly, there are a few guys who may be around to play in 2010 but I would be surprised if they have a significant role (ages in parenthesis are approximate as of week 6 of the 2010 season): Lepsis (33.5), Hamilton (33), Leach (34). That is a total of 16 guys, although the number is really closer to 10 when you discount the ST and injured folks. The good news is that for the most part, we are in a position to replace them - either with players already on the team or with draft picks in the next three drafts. Even better news is that we have a solid young core of players on both sides of the ball who could prove to be something special. Both lines are young and need to gain experience individually and as a group. But if they do, most of the other pieces are in place to have a Super Bowl caliber team for years to come. (Please note that I gave minimal, at most, thought to the salary cap ramifications)
2010 Offense
QB: Jay Cutler (27.5) and Patrick Ramsey (31.5) (assuming Ramsey wants to play Kubiak to Cutler's Elway)
RB: S Young (27)
FB: None
WR: Javon Walker (32), Brandon Marshall (26.5)
TE: Tony Scheffler (27.5), Daniel Graham (32) and Nate Jackson (31.5)
OL: Ryan Harris (25.5), Chris Myers (29), Greg Eslinger (27.5), Chris Kuper (28), Erik Pears (28) with possible contributions from Holland (30.5) (and conceivably Hamilton(33), though I doubt that)
2010 Defense
DE: Jarvis Moss (26), Elvis Dumervil (26.5), Tim Crowder(25)
DT: Marcus Thomas (25), Antwon Burton(27), Alvin McKinley (32)
LB: DJ Williams (28) and maybe Jordan Beck (27.5)
CB: Dre Bly (33), Champ Bailey(32), Dominique Foxworth (27.5) and Karl Paymah(28)
S: Hamza Abdullah (27), Sam Brandon (31.5) (is this possible?)
K: none
P: none
LS: Kuper/Myers
Offensively, Cutler's growth is clearly the linchpin to the offense. But an underrated key to his growth will be the transition of the offensive line to the new version I listed above. If Eslinger can handle C in the NFL, I would feel comfortable with Harris and Pears at tackles and Myers and Kuper at guards. Keeping Holland around as a third guard in case Myers is the long term answer at center makes sense too. Assuming that Javon can get his knee healthy, he should be able to play until 2013 or 2014. So the only real needs I see in 2010 would be a third WR (if Martinez is not the answer - and when has a #3 WR not been an issue for the Broncos?), and a couple backs (at least we have better luck with this one). Oh, and some depth along the line, but nothing major there.
Defensively, the story is rather similar. We can't be lucky enough to have all four of our young DL turn into Pro Bowl studs, but they should have enough of a core that, other than getting a solid DT, they can fill the bottom of the rotation with free agents or rookie prospects (I am thinking players taken in the mid rounds who are considered somewhat one dimensional) or maybe even the young guys we just signed. The linebacker corps and our safety situation require some work, but who didn't know that? AT CB, I would really like to see us keep Foxworth and Paymah, but that may be tough with the cap and their desire for playing time. We will need to draft/sign a few LB over the next couple of years, both as starters and to provide depth at ST. Holdman and/or Gold may stick around for a year or two, but they are stop gap measures. (Based on the Shanahan model, it would not shock me to see them draft 2 or 3 LB in 2008) As for safety, I guess my ideal plan would be to draft a young safety in 2008 and let him compete with Hamza for one spot while Lynch and/or Ferguson are on their last legs manning the other. If you end up with two quality guys in Hamza and the new guy that would be great. Otherwise the better of the two stays, Bly moves back to safety and we would still have good CB depth.
As for special teams, I think we can find a decent punter and kicker easily enough although there may be a couple missteps along the way. The most important loss could be Mike Leach if Myers and/or Kuper can't handle the long snapper job.
I'd like to hear your thoughts and maybe explain your answer to the poll question. Will anyone make a case for Mike Bell or Andre Hall to be included in the 2010 Broncos? Did I miss anyone else? Did I include someone who should not be on the list?
PS. Please don't take this to mean I have given up on this team or this season or even the next couple. It is more of a mental exercise trying to visualize what the team will look like once the older guys retire in a couple years and trying to see where (and how) the team can find the pieces it needs, both to compete over the next couple of years and for 2010 and beyond. (On that note, I would like to say that Shanahan has done a very nice job with the drafting and stockpiling of young OL to step in when the inevitable transition to a younger line occurs/occurred/is occurring?)

Now the sharks season has ended nostalgia has firmly set in. There is what seems like an eternity before we see sharks hockey on our screen so its time to get gamecenter up and relive some games from a fantastic 2011-2012 season.
Do any of you rather knowledgeable and passionate folk have a standout sharks game or moment from the season?
Must say one of the most amusing moments was big Joe picking a sedin's nose :)

News: Nicki Minaj Reveals Why She's Not Crying Over Grammy Snub
Thursday, Jan 31, 2013 8:23PM
Young Money rapper Nicki Minaj has addressed her publicized Grammy Awards 2013 nomination snub despite dropping two albums and handfuls of singles last year.
In Nicki's perspective, she has enough awards and accolades to hold her over until next year.
"I've gotten tons of awards and I believe when it's my time to get a Grammy, I'll get a Grammy," she said with a laugh. "I understand that artists and critics make a big deal over the Grammys. But when I go to my shows and I'm selling out arenas in London, and when I'm in Australia and Japan, there aren't any Grammys there," she said. "There are human beings who I've touched. There are human beings who are inspired by me, who I love dearly. And that's what my career is based on." (Associated Press)
She also noted her relatively short stint in the mainstream for helping get over the snub.
"You do feel good when you get awards and accolades. Maybe if I had been doing this for 10 years and I thought like, 'Oh my god, I've put out 10 albums' -- maybe it would have hurt my feelings. But I still feel so new that it's like, 'Charge it to the game,'" she said. "It's part of the game." (Associated Press)
Last month, Nicki's manager Cortez Bryant publicly revealed his issues with the Young Money starlet not getting Grammy love.
"Congrats to @LilTunechi and @Drake and @Hit_Boy on their Grammy Noms butttt......," he tweeted Thursday (December 6).
"They was on some bullsh*t for not nominating @NICKIMINAJ" (Cortez Bryant's Twitter)
Last year, Nicki sparked an uproar over her televised Grammy Awards performance.
Those who tuned in for Nicki Minaj's Grammy performance experienced a wave of emotion: First they were confused, then amused and then just plain angry. There was fire and a man dressed like the pope. Minaj levitated. Then, an exorcism. Viewers stared at their TVs, slack-jawed and unsure of what exactly they were watching. The religious response to Minaj's performance will surely be furious -- the Catholic League is likely firing up its angriest press release yet -- but fans' reactions were fast and frank. They had no idea what sort of spectacle they had just witnessed, but few of them liked it. (Washington Post)

He's so good the Hall of Fame recognizes him twice.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced this week that former Chiefs QB Len Dawson will be honored with the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television award which recognizes "long-time exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football."
Lenny was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a player in 1987 so this is his second honor from Canton.
"This is an unbelievable award for me," Dawson remarked. "To be in the Hall of Fame as a player was the highlight of my playing career, but now to be recognized by the Hall of Fame as a broadcaster, well, it's just a great, great honor."
Jim Nantz took home the award last year.
Len Dawson's broadcasting career began in 1966 while he was still quarterback of the Chiefs. After he retired in 1975, he joined NBC as an analyst for NFL games until 1982. At that point he joined the Chiefs Radio Network, the position he holds today.
Outside of Chiefs games, I remember Lenny the most for his time on Inside The NFL, a role he held for 24 years. Old Man Thorman would let me stay up late to watch it every week.

never downloaded this book..please remove from listy
The third book comes out in 2014. It's a long wait, but I believe it'll be very awesome. Barry Lyga never seems to disappoint us. For more info check out his site www.BarryLyga.com
Also the book I Hunt Killers will be turned into a television program. Finally a show that is worth watching.
I love this series! Can't wait till 2014! Even better than I Hunt Killers. You Rock, Barry Lyga!
This book is amazing. I can't stop reading it. It's so addicting. It gets better and better as you read on. I love it. I can't wait for the 3rd one.
a really great, truly thrilling thriller. I only put it down for bathroom breaks and eating.
Man, I really love this book! Crazy cliffhanger which is making me obsessed. I am dreaming about all these possibilities. When is the next book coming out? Arghhhh....so good. Definitely more gory, but maybe that is just my imagination working overtime. I could not see the next move in most of this novel. Some things I could, but not many.
A stunning sequel to I Hunt Killers! Jazz uses the skills his father (the infamous serial killer Billy Dent) taught him to track down Hat-Dog, a new killer terrorizing NYC. But the deeper Jazz digs, the more he realizes that his father is connected to the killings, whatever that might mean.
A little more gory than I remember the first one being. Lyga does a fantastic job with the sequel! Can't wait for the next book!

Allegheny County public works director replacedNovember 1, 2012 9:15 PM
Share with others:
The four-year director of the Allegheny County Department of Public Works found himself without a job today, and one of his deputies has assumed his post, officials said.
Joe Olczak, who became director under former Executive Dan Onorato in 2008, said he received a letter this week saying the county "is no longer in need of your services."
"I really can't say what their intent or their motive was," he said.
Amie Downs, spokeswoman for county Executive Rich Fitzgerald, declined to comment on Mr. Olczak's departure, saying the executive's office does not discuss "personnel matters."
Mr. Olczak began working for Allegheny County on April 7, 1980, and moved up the ranks. He said his record is "impeccable" and he was caught off-guard by the county's letter.
Mr. Olczak, who made $98,345 a year, appeared with Mr. Fitzgerald earlier this week at a news conference discussing the county's response to Hurricane Sandy. In his absence, Phil LaMay, deputy director of operations and administration, will serve as acting director of the Department of Public Works.

Rangers | GM wants to bring back all free agents
Wed, 13 Sep 2006 10:15:46 -0700
T.R. Sullivan, of Texas.Rangers.MLB.com, reports Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said he wants to bring back all 10 of the Rangers free agents this offseason, and he has already begun speaking to their representatives about contracts. "If you told me I could bring the entire clubhouse back intact, with Carlos Lee and Nelson Cruz, with Adam Eaton healthy, with Robinson Tejeda pitching at his level and the bullpen with a year under its belt, I'd do it," said Daniels. "I believe in what this club can do." Starting pitchers Vicente Padilla, Kip Wells and Adam Eaton, catcher Rod Barajas, outfielders Carlos Lee, Mark DeRosa, Gary Matthews Jr., Jerry Hairston Jr. and Eric Young, and designated hitter Matt Stairs are all free agents at the end of this season.

A 69-year-old retired nurse, a master quilter who has never been in trouble with the law before, now faces felony assault charges, and that's not even the worst part.
If anything, Donna Keel is too nice and too trusting for her own good after she did something in memory of her deceased sister. It was an act she made on faith and hope and the belief that all people can be saved.
But the consequences have been crushing.
Her nephew, Jody Jones, is an ex-con. His convictions include cases involving drugs, assault and theft. At one point, he stole so much from his own family they don't want anything to do with him.
But not Aunt Donna.
When Jones got out of prison this time, Keel took him in, based on her love for her deceased sister.
"I knew him ever since the minute after he was born," Keel said. "I had in my heart to do it, to help him out. And if he made it, I wanted to be there when he made good."
But things did not go well. Jones soon brought in his girlfriend, Tiffany Nicholson, and her three kids.
Bills started growing, and Keel didn't have that kind of money to sustain her modest house, where her only luxury was her sewing room and her beautiful quilts.
On Friday, July 6, when Keel asked her nephew for money to help pay the bills, she was in no way prepared for what was next.
"I just asked him if he had some money to help cover the bills at the first of the month. But he moved in front of me and kept saying, 'Get out of my face.' I hadn't even moved one inch. He was the one confronting me, and Tiffany runs out of the bathroom. She has the house phone and starts hitting me with it. I had a concussion," Keel said.
Keel said Jones and his girlfriend disappeared in the back of the house, and the next thing she knew, Jones came out with a slashing stab wound. The couple called police, and when officers arrived they weighed the conflicting stories.
On one side was the 69-year-old retired nurse, and on the other was the 42-year-old former prison bodybuilder with a long record and his girlfriend currently on probation.
In his report, Officer William Hudson decided that Keel was the primary aggressor and went so far as to charge her with felony aggravated assault.
"I almost fell to the ground when they told me to get in the car. I said, 'You've got to be kidding me.' Here I am, my equilibrium is gone because my eye was swollen. I couldn't believe it," Keel said.
Then, while Keel sat in jail, her nephew and his girlfriend visited night court, where they represented themselves as the legal occupants of Keel's home. Of course, that's not true. It's not their home, and they have no lease. But they were not asked to produce any documentation.
Before long, they even got an order of protection.
"To take the word of someone without investigating what went on, and just issue an order of protection from her own home, this is not right. This is America," said attorney Paul Housch.
Keel was legally banned from her own home, so when she got out of jail, she was homeless. And her house guests are untouchable.
"Officer Hudson was not the judge and jury, but he convicted her of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. In fact, the weapon was never produced. There was no weapon. This was a staged crime by two felons to have her arrested and ousted out of her own home," Housch said.
Housch has been attempting to legally undo what has happened. First, he contacted the couple's parole and probation officers to inform them of what is happening. Those officers set up a July 13 meeting with Jones and Nicholson, but neither showed up.
"They should have issued a bench warrant right then on July 13 and had the police pick them up wherever they may have been," Housch said.
And there were things in motion to get Keel back in her house, hearings and orders, that would make everything right.
Except something happened on July 16 that made it all irrelevant.
The house went up in flames, as Jones told police it began as a grease fire.
"He was seen standing in front of the house with his arms folded, watching the fire go through the roof," Housch said.
So, last week in court, Keel got back her now burned down house and Keel had her order of protection lifted. And on Friday, Jones and Nicholson were both arrested for parole and probation violations.
But, of course, it's all too late.
"All of my possessions - my quilts, my sewing room, all of the albums of pictures of us growing up, my mother's stuff. It wasn't an expensive house, but it was home to a lot of people," Keel said.
Police said the felony assault charge was a judgment call based on Jones' stab wound and a statement in which Keel admitted she started the confrontation.
And, by the book, it was completely legal for the night commissioner who issued the order of protection for people who weren't rightfully homeowners. The law does not demand night commissioners to check proof of residency.
But the fire remains under investigation, and Keel remains charged with felony aggravated assault.

A fund has been established to help her replace her possessions, including her beloved sewing tools. If you would like to help:

Rushville Republican
Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre's current production of 9 to 5 The Musical does a surprisingly good job of mirroring the 1980 hit film 9 to 5.
Country music legend Dolly Parton, who starred in that film, even has direct involvement (of sorts) in the ongoing play at B&B. (By way of a large video screen, she introduces the show's main characters and helps wrap the story up at the end of the performance.)
In short, this show is about three secretaries in a large corporate office and their sexist, opinionated, bigoted, crooked boss. The show is set in the late 1970s when Big Business in America was still dominated by men and women were supposed to "remember their place."
The ladies conspire to take control of the company, and kidnap the boss in the process.
Broadway performer Annie Edgerton stars as head secretary Violet Newstead. B&B veteran Sarah Hund plays new girl Judy Bernly. Lafayette native Crystal Mosser, a lovely and talented addition to the Beef & Board family, handles the part of Doralee Rhodes (played by Parton in the film version.)
These ladies, as well as Andrew Lebon, who plays the boss, do a great job, as does the rest of the cast.
This show is funny.
The songs are upbeat and catchy.
The overall production is very good.
For anyone who likes good, live theater and a delicious meal I highly recommend 9 to 5 The Musical.
This show, which continues through March 24, is rated PG-13 for language and some minor adult content.
For reservations call the Beef & Boards' box office at 317-872-9664 or visit www.beefandboard.com.
Beef & Boards is located at 9301 N. Michigan Road, Indianapolis.

Say "I Surrender" to Your Husband
Doyle proposes that women give up inappropriate control of their husbands, trust them in every aspect of marriage and never criticize them. An avowed "formerly controlling, disrespectful shrew," Doyle relates that her marriage lacked intimacy because her harshness damaged her husband's trust and made him feel emasculated.
Doyle got into therapy, stopped criticizing her husband and started being as supportive as possible in her feelings, body language, speech and actions. As a result, she says her husband drew closer and they forged a more passionate and trusting union.
Reader Jane Litster of Burlington, Vt., says the book helped her "figure out why I was so combative with my husband." Litster says, "My mind was fixated on an unreal, perfect marriage and I blamed my husband for everything instead of coming up with solutions for making it work."
One of the main messages of the book, says Litster, involves the daily practice of "thinking and feeling grateful for the good things you have instead of feeling dissatisfied. The book doesn't sugar-coat marriage, but offers solutions for how to behave like a trusted partner instead of a bossy manager or controlling mother."

Investigations into the food storage practices of one of the country's largest food distributors have reached the federal level, KNTV-TV reported on Monday.
Officials with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) told KNTV that they have begun probing Sysco Corporation following a complaint received at the USDA's office in Alameda, California. Members of a local meat trade association reportedly contacted the USDA after watching a July 2013 report showing Sysco employees storing perishable food in non-refrigerated outdoor sheds, then delivering them using their own cars instead of company vehicles.
That same month, the California Department of Public Health began its own investigation into what one official called "a little bit of a runaway train" of violations. Fifteen similar sheds were discovered in Ontario, Canada in September 2013, prompting a separate inquiry by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
A company spokesperson told KNTV that Sysco, which serves about 400,000 customers through its 180 facilities in the U.S., Canada and Ireland, had disposed of the outdoor sheds and was cooperating with authorities.
Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA), who is based out of nearby Santa Cruz and is the ranking member of the Appropriations subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development and Food and Drug Administration, criticized Sysco for creating mistrust around itself.
"We're very concerned because this Sysco problem violates the trust the growers have in growing the safest food in the world and the producers of meat and poultry in abiding by the federal laws that are the toughest in the world," Farr told KNTV. "The problem is the handlers and what happens in the time it leaves the security of the grower or producers and gets to the restaurants."

Two games in one evening you say ? Yes. I feel like I haven't seen a game in weeks with all of these rain delays and games postponed. So a few things you need to ask yourself before you sit down to watch the DH on Wednesday.
1. Is the temp in your house set at a comfortable 76 degrees ?
2. Do you have at least a 12 (24 for you alcoholics) pack of your favorite beverage ?
3. Can your dependents take care of themselves for oh.....say, the 7-8 hours of baseball that you will be watching and too busy to be bothered by shower times, homework times, dinner time ?
4. Do you have enough beef jerky, nuts and other snacks at your disposal ?
5. Have you built that bar in your house yet like you've been telling your buddies that you're going to do for the past 3 years ?
Go Dbacks !
PULL (Insert pitchers name here) from the game !! lmao

Is it possible to watch live videos on Android?2
Unfortunately, my laptop has some hardware issues at the moment that won't be fixed until next week, so I'm trying to listen to the post-WWDC Verge Live on my Android devices. On neither my Evo 4G nor Nexus 7 does the live video work, either from the browser or from the Verge Android app. Is it even possible to watch live video from Android? Does it require Adobe Flash? It's really frustrating.

Seriously now...something is seriously wrong when an elite hoops prospect like OJ Mayo is giving real consideration to the University of South Central. And I sure as hell don't buy the "I want to play for a coach with NBA experience" because Tim Floyd was about as successful in the NBA as Rick Pitino was in Boston.
The truth probably goes something more like this: "I'm OJ Mayo and now that there is a 19 year-old age requirement in the NBA, I might as well go play my one year in college for a school corrupt enough to pay me an NBA salary for the year." In that case, $C looks like a perfect match.

Tiberius has taken all rights to Germany, Austria and German-speaking Switzerland; Daro has acquired Russian rights. Both bought Ruiz Caldera's prior movie, "Ghost Graduation," which Fox picked up for North and Latin America and Family Films has just bought for France.
"Weddings" is shaping up as one of Spanish cinema's biggest box office bets of 2013. Warner Bros. will release the laffer in prime box office time Dec. 6, which kicks off a bank holiday weekend.
Inma Cuesta plays a young woman who is invited to the weddings of three ex-boyfriends in the same month, plunging her into a desperate search for a marriageable man.
The first comedy from "The Impossible" producer Apaches, "Weddings" is produced by comedy specialists Think Studio and Ciskul, plus Atresmediacine, the film arm of Spain's broadcast network group Atresmedia.
"We were delighted by the screenplay," said "Weddings" producer Francisco Sanchez. "The global nature of weddings is all for the better."
Film Factory will organize two private screenings of "Weddings" in Toronto. "Weddings" is also sparking remake interest, said Film Factory CEO Vicente Canales.
Both of Ruiz Caldera's previous films, Spanish film spoof "Spanish Movie" and comedic fantasy film "Ghost Graduation," have sold well abroad.

Question: Why do most people gain and lose weight and so few keep it off? How do we stop the cycle?
Answer: This is a very common problem. Part of the issue lies in the inability to see past the "diet" mentality and realize that proper nutrition is a lifestyle…forever.
The average dieter will follow a routine for a certain timeframe, perhaps achieve their goal and then go back to their old habits. They never truly get in a healthy pattern with long-lasting change. Instead, they rely on quick fixes.
Proper nutrition lasts a lifetime. You can stop the cycle by not seeing nutrition as a cycle at all. It is OK to have a cheat meal once in a while, but once that cheat meal is over, you must have the discipline to stay focused on long-term health.
Our society is loaded with temptations and the food industry itself is counting of the average person to become addicted to refined sugar. This keeps customers coming back and is great for profits. Sadly, it is not so good for our health.
Question: How do I "lean out"? How do I "bulk up"?
Answer: It is amazing how similar these two goals actually are. A typical adult client may come to us looking to lose 20 pounds of body fat. While an athlete hoping to play football may look for advice to bulk up. I advise them both to crank up the protein levels using the same formula. Here it is: Take your body weight and round it down to the nearest 25-pound increment. This number is equal to the number of grams of protein you should eat per day. This simple rules follows many of the guidelines found in the literature.
The first thing you will notice is the size of this number. That is a LOT of protein. The key difference between an individual looking to lose weight and the high school athlete looking to gain muscle mass is carbohydrate intake.

Since the world economic crisis finance gurus have been systematically reducing systemic risk in the OTC Derivatives Market. Since the public doesn't want a repeat of the crisis, we have been tuning into how they try to reduce risk. One of the most agreed upon methods is to using clearing houses for clearing derivative trades.
The main mechanisms to reduce system risk are:
- Require that as many product types are possible are centrally cleared and traded on exchanges or similar trading facilities
- Subject swap dealers and large market participants to capital and margin requirements (which are imposed by clearing houses)
- Require the public reporting of transaction and pricing data on uncleared and cleared swaps
What Are Clearing Houses?
Before we take a look at how clearing houses are applicable to the other-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market, it's important that we understand the basic concept of a clearing house.
A clearing house is a middleman between sellers and buyers and assumes the opposite position of each side of the trade. Once two parties agree on a transaction such as interest rate Swaps, the clearing house will ensure the smooth functioning of the financial transaction. For example, if you agreed to sell 150 shares of your company to John for £10,000, the clearing house will guarantee that John receives his shares and you receive your payment.
Without clearing houses, fewer transactions would take place as sellers and buyers would be weary about the counter-party.
OTC derivatives
One of the primary goals of the reforms after the crisis is to reduce the risk for clients trading derivatives such as Interest Rate Swap Claims. Clearing for Interest Rate Derivatives has been underway for sometime. There has been an increased amount of pressure placed on traders of OTC derivatives to make their trades on an open exchange with the clearing house to prevent defaults.
The clearing house would use their mechanisms such as default guarantee funds, background checks, financial monitoring of their parties and margins to prevent trades from collapsing.
The clearing requirement notion that has been introduced since the global crisis on OTC trades requires that a clearing house clear all eligible derivatives. The clearing house will provide critical risk mitigation by mutualizing the losses from a clearing members failure to pay up on their end of the deal and they will also require that all parties have collateral. Clearing houses provide trade reporting and transparency to the OTC derivatives market including prices, position data, etc.
Therefore, the clearing house remove the opacity in the OTC derivatives market to make it safer not only for their direct participants but its potential domino effect on the smaller financial transactions and even the individual.
A clearing house aims to change the OTC derivatives market from one that is tremendously opaque and vulnerable to losses to one that is safer for every party.

Eds: Updates with details on recommendations, troubles with current system, comments from committee members.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The State Board of Education is getting recommendations that Indiana's A-F school rating system be changed to account for improvement by individual students on tests and for the addition of state tests to four more grades.
The recommendations come from an advisory panel made up mostly of educators that was appointed after concerns emerged about the grading formula used last year under former state school Superintendent Tony Bennett.
The current formula has schools' grades based mostly on the percentage of students who pass the state's standardized ISTEP test, not on test score improvement.
Changes would put more emphasis on how much progress students make toward a passing score on ISTEP math and language arts tests. Other factors to be included are high school graduation and college and career readiness rates, and reading test performance.
Committee co-chairman Steve Yager, superintendent of the Northwest Allen County Schools, said the proposed system is more transparent and simpler with more evaluation points.
"It's easily measured, easily understood and easy to then enact the changes that we need for instruction or curriculum," Yager said.
Students currently take ISTEP tests are in third through eighth grades and in 10th grade. The panel recommends new state tests for the first, second, ninth and 11th grades. State schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz said those would replace local testing at those levels.
Ritz and Yager are expected to present the recommendations on Nov. 8 to the State Board of Education, which is expected to consider adopting a new A-F grading model next month.
The fate of the changes is unclear as Ritz, a Democrat, has been at odds with the Republican-dominated board. Ritz filed a lawsuit last week over the board's request to top GOP lawmakers that legislative analysts calculate the new A-F grades instead of her department.

According to the MLB press release, the Nationals have been sold to a local group headed by a former top exec of the Braves and the Lerners, who own most of the other sports teams in that area: http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060503&content_id=1431114&a mp;vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb
According to the press release, the sales price is $450M, which works out approximately to $15M per team (slightly above since this is split between the other 29 team I would presume). Hopefully this will be used by the Giants to add to their budget for one year, hopefully this year, and they can trade for someone with a big salary and is a big producer. I'll bet the team pockets it though.
Interesting that Jerry Reinsdorf helped out with the negotiating for the 30-year lease for the Nationals, right around the same time his team battled for and won for the first time in, like, forever.
Think it would help if Magowan, say, sent a shipment of grocery to Selig's mansion? He can throw in the WebVan signage and use one of their old vans to deliver it cold.

Anybody out there remember biorythm, i think it was called? If memory serves (which, after single-handedly wiping out an entire mexican town's agave crop, is questionable, at best) it had to do with recognizing the patterns in your life that were, to oversimplify, either up, or down. When your personal biorythm is up, you schedule stuff like interviews, sales calls, dates, etc. When it is down, you stock up on movies and cheese puffs and stay your ass at home. I need to find that book, and re-read it. If i ever did read it. I've become convinced that it has merit, this idea, that cycles emerge in our lives when stuff clicks, or it doesn't. True, the New-agers among us might say it's a matter of aligned chakras, and my stoner friend that reads the stars would say my personal planets are aligned, or not. Have you, like me, ever wondered what it's like having your palm read, or tea leaves, or whatever? There are a half-dozen places that offer this near me, but I grew up fearing gypsies, and i think this is their turf. Anyway, i'm convinced that i do indeed have these cycles, and perhaps yesterday was proof of that. All I know is, there are days when everyone i talk do, or inter-act with comes away thinking i am all "that", as my daughter says. Cashiers are friendly, i get superb service, i can even convince a store manager that i am in fact entitled to that refund, or discount. Women swoon. Men admire. Dogs and cats flock to me, and my car finds the perfect parking spot.
Then, the cycle goes the other way, and i couldn't get laid in a whorehouse. No matter how pure my intentions, I'm misunderstood. It's a little like that guy in the GPS commercial that tells the guy he has GPS, and the guy standing outside his window says, "what did you call me?". I swear, on those days, i could hand a complete stranger a 20 spot and somehow have it misconstrued as, i don't know, condecension? Now, it's not that i can't take the bad with the good, i have no complaints with this life, i am indeed blessed, up or down, but here is where i think it would be handy to be able to spot bad days in advance. Yesterday, i had a meeting with a new friend, someone i didn't know well, but that i liked a great deal, and part of me wanted to impress this person. Apparently, though they won't admit it, i asked an inapprproiate question, or, i was less than diplomatic or tactful when attempting to solicit more info from them, and i believe i hurt their feelings. I'd sooner be forced to listen to Steve Gill for 24 straight hours than hurt a friend's feelings. i know i am a tad insensitive sometimes, maybe that comes out on the low cycle….all i know is, i'm going to see if Amazon has that book anymore, and then call my friend and apologize….

HOWELL, Mich. (AP) - Authorities say a 43-year-old man arrested in a four-county shooting spree in Michigan is being charged with crimes in Livingston County.
Raulie Casteel will be arraigned Wednesday in Howell, 55 miles northwest of Detroit. His identity was provided by an investigator who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak before the court hearing.
More charges are expected elsewhere this week.
Casteel was arrested Monday in Wixom. He's suspected in 24 shootings, mostly involving moving cars in communities near Interstate 96. One person was injured.
The shootings occurred October 16 through October 18, then stopped until October 27.
Casteel has described himself online as a geologist with experience in environmental cleanup. His Twitter feed is deeply critical of President Barack Obama.

Update on ERRP Payment Processing
Today, the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP) published an updated reimbursement report that identified the payments that have been made to Plan Sponsors from the $5 billion appropriated to this temporary program. Funds have been disbursed to a variety of sponsors of employment-based plans, including for-profit companies, schools and educational institutions, unions, State and local governments, religious organizations and other nonprofit Plan Sponsors, to help reduce their health plan benefit costs and those of their plan participants, including early retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents, and active workers. According to a fact sheet issued by CMS, at least 19 million people are covered by Plan Sponsors that have received funding, 13 million of whom have already directly or indirectly benefited from program reimbursements thanks to ERRP. Click here for more information on the success of the program.
At this time, ERRP has received requests for reimbursement that exceed the $5 billion in funding appropriated. Reimbursement requests which exceed the program's $5 billion will now be held in the order of receipt, pending the availability of funds. As previously reported, Plan Sponsors with reimbursement requests on hold can expect to receive an email notifying them that their reimbursement requests have been placed on hold pending the availability of funds. If you receive such an email, you may call the ERRP Contact Center to obtain updated information on the position of your reimbursement request in the list of held reimbursement requests.
CMS will continue to pay reimbursement requests in the order received until available funds are exhausted. If there are not sufficient funds to pay in its entirety the first reimbursement request that causes the initial exhaustion of the funds available for payment, CMS will partially honor that reimbursement request, and will pay the balance of that reimbursement request if additional funds become available through recoupment of overpayments. In the event that funds become available as a result of overpayment collections, CMS will pay subsequent reimbursement requests in the order of receipt until funds are once again exhausted.
As a reminder, for each plan year for which a Plan Sponsor has been reimbursed with ERRP funds, the requirement to submit a full-replacement Claim List that passes the automated edits (implemented in October 2011) and an associated reimbursement request by March 30, 2012, remains. Absent the timely submission of such an error-free Claim List and a corresponding reimbursement request, CMS will initiate procedures for recoupment of the funds paid to the Plan Sponsor for that plan year. Funds returned to the program as a result of recoupment efforts will be used to pay outstanding reimbursement requests in the order in which they were received.
Plan Sponsors should keep the following program information up to date with the ERRP, as it will assist in the ERRP Center's ability to make prompt payment when funds become available:
Responses to application questions
Authorized Representative, Account Manager, and Designee contact information (e.g. email address, phone number, etc.)
Bank account information
Plan Sponsors should also notify the ERRP Center if they have identified data inaccuracies or changes to previously submitted price concession amounts (such as rebates) in order to obtain instructions on steps necessary to update their data.
Related to ongoing ERRP requirements, CMS has announced its expectation that Plan Sponsors will use ERRP reimbursement funds they have received or will receive, as soon as possible, but in no case later than December 31, 2014. You may wish to view the Common Question on this topic, 800-13, which is posted in the "Use of Reimbursement" section of the Common Questions on www.errp.gov.
Plan Sponsors that have not yet done so should complete the recently issued ERRP program survey. The survey will allow ERRP to collect information about the use of program funds. Plan Sponsors were sent requests to complete the survey on December 1, and can contact the program at 877-574-ERRP for information on completing the survey.

Baked Goods
Beaches Bake Shop
The Beaches Bake Shop in the Upper Beaches in a neighbourhood favourite serving fresh baked treats daily. They make all their own baked goods and sell hard to find Swedish treats like Kanelbullen (Swedish Cinnamon Buns with Cardamom), and Sarah Bernards (Almond Macaroons dipped in chocolate).

We do bake a large portion of the items sold right here at Beaches Bakeshop & Cafe'! Laura, if you decide to "waste some time" please come in and I will show you what we make! Among other things we offer Homemade soup from scratch, innovative and fresh salads (Quinoa, Red Rice, Orzo, Cous Cous), 3 different types of Quiche, the largest assortment of Traditonal Swedish Baked goods in Toronto (haven't seen that at Loblaws) and lots more!!
However, to be fair, in the past year or so, I've noticed that the baked goods appear to be made on premises. And they're quite yummy. The cinnamon buns and Swedish almond macaroons are standouts.
Cinnamon buns to die for and many more.
My partner and I Just crushed two of their cinnamon buns which came right from of the oven (the shop smelled amazing), next into our home and finally mouths. We were both pumped to be consuming deliciousness from what seemed to be a total local supported spot. I was playing frogger with baby carriages, other shop owners and random uniformed kids just to get to the ordering part. The women working there were friendly and not so much in that "I'm pretending to be your best friend" but "I appreciate you being in my establishment" kinda way. It's a little more real and very much appreciated. One of the ladies there had a rad choice of style, very bake shop/cafe appropriate. I know it may not matter much but I find it was a pleasant addition to the experience. I say why not make your spot pop with a solid outfit, it's the total package that leaves that lasting impression. I'm still thinking of which other treats I saw (Triple chocolate brownie) that I want to smash between my nose and chin.
ps.Check out Desmond & Beatrice (750A Queen Sweet East, 647352-2257) for other great Cinnamon Bun/treat options. I love options I can eat.
Visited again this weekend and had an opportunity to try their mouth watering, and now famous, original Cinnamon Buns! They are extra soft and just right amount of everything: sugar, cinnamon and butter. The nip sugar on top just finishes it right.
This Cafe really shows what scandinavian delicacies are all about. You can taste they are made from scratch with tradition.
Not to forget that you can buy other scandinavian sweets and products from them as well from candies to shoes!


text: Does anyone else think that Josh McDaniels would be a good hire? I for one do not think that Ollie is horrible, yet I think that Freeman could become a top five quarterback real fast if we did hire an elite offensive coordinator. There were moments throughout the season where I have wished we had a different play caller. Tom Brady is the man, but I don't see him throwing fifty touchdowns ever again. Kyle "Snortin" Orton has raised his game well beyond anyone could have ever imagined, he did it under the play calling of Josh McDaniels. I know that Freeman is my favorite player, but realistically he is more talented than Kyle Orton. I think Mike Williams, Rejus, Kellen are all more talented players than Brandon Lloyd, Jabar Gaffney, and Daniel Graham respectively. Freeman seems to be at his best out of the gun, which McDaniels uses quite often. Four or five wide sets would be tough to cover, our personnel is built to spread it out. I know that with a young quarterback it is not good to have to learn a new offense, but if we did make a move this off season I for one would be extremely happy to upgrade the OC position. Well guys we need to finish strong, I feel awful that Aqib Talib's fantastic season has come to an end; I was actually able to get over the loss day dreaming about Talib taking a Donovan McNubb pick to the house, but like Raheem says its "next man up".

News: Diddy Unwraps Maybach B-Day Present, "I Don't Know Where These Rumors Start"
Thursday, Feb 3, 2011 5:31PM
Bad Boy Records CEO Diddy has come forward to deny recent reports claiming he purchased his son, Justin Combs, another Maybach vehicle for his 17th birthday last December.
Writing on his Twitter page, Diddy denied the high-priced allegations.
"Attention blogs!!!.... Didn't get my son another car. I don't know where these rumors start. Have a blessed day!," Diddy tweeted February 1st. (Diddy's Twitter)
Reports last weekend suggested Diddy made the purchase due to Justin's school achievements.
The 41-year-old rapper - who raises six children - bought his son Justin the Maybach car for his birthday after achieving high grades at school, and hopes he will use it to impress girls. He said: "Justin has turned himself around and is now an Honors student, which he wasn't before, so I wanted to treat him. It's a collector's car so maybe he will use it for special occasions like on a first date, but like all my kids, he prefers the simpler things than the expensive things. Simple tastes." (Independent)
Last summer, while talking on ABC's "Nightline," Diddy defended his past $360,000 Maybach purchase for Justin.
"I think it's appropriate to give my kids whatever I want to give my kids," he told Martin Bashir. "I feel the way I raise my children, I don't have to explain to you or anyone else, 'cause nobody knows the way I raise my children...Nobody knows the lessons that I've taught my children to understand, if they are mentally ready for that," he said. "It wasn't even about a lesson; it's what I wanted to do. I could do whatever I want to do and you can't question me about it." (New York Daily News)
Justin's last birthday celebration included a variety of celebrities.
Talk about a sweet 16. For his 16th birthday, Diddy gave his son Justin Dior Combs a brand-new silver Maybach (price tag: $360,000). The teen received the wheels at a lavish bash Saturday night at M2 Ultralounge club in NYC. (Among the guests: Jersey Shore stars Paul "Pauly D" Delvecchio, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and rapper Lil' Kim.) Diddy, 40, also gave his son a $10,000 check to open a bank account. (For the record, Justin is donating it all to Haiti relief.) "I'm just ecstatic right now," Justin told UsMagazine.com at his party, which will be featured on an upcoming episode of MTV's My Super Sweet 16. "Words can't even describe how I feel. I'm so blessed and thankful for all of this." (Us Magazine)
Justin Combs was reportedly born December 30th, 1993.

A Tosa State of Mind
Alderman Dennis McBride represents Wauwatosa's 4th District. An attorney and graduate of Wauwatosa East High School, Ald. McBride strives to be an effective, thoughtful, and nonpartisan representative for his constituents and for his hometown.
Before 9/11
Before 9/11, there was Oklahoma City.
Fifteen years ago today, a native-born American committed an act of domestic terrorism. Timothy McVeigh, an Irish-American from Buffalo, N.Y., had served in the U.S. Army, where he had sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution and defend his country against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Instead, after leaving his country's service, he attacked it. He blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 innocent men, women, and children.
In his eyes, their crime was being in a building occupied by agencies of the government he had once sworn to defend. McVeigh killed children in a day care center, citizens seeking passports and Social Security checks, and government employees doing work that their fellow citizens had hired them to do.
That day, like today, I was a federal employee doing the work I was paid to do. That day, I lost colleagues from my agency. I shed tears for them, and for all of the other innocent victims of an unspeakable, senseless crime. We later learned that the Henry Reuss Federal Building in Milwaukee had been on McVeigh's short list of potential targets, too. Not a year goes by when I don't stop on April 19th and think of my dead Oklahoma City colleagues and the other victims of McVeigh's act of domestic terrorism. I will never get over my feelings of anger and sorrow from that day.
On September 11, 2001, our country again suffered from an act of terrorism, this time perpetrated by foreign terrorists. The carnage was worse that day, but the message was the same as the one sent by McVeigh on April 19, 1995: terrorists, foreign and domestic, are seeking to destroy our democratically-elected government and our way of life. We will never recover from our feelings of anger and sorrow from the events that day.
I understand people who are frustrated with government. I often am frustrated, too, when my taxes are not well spent or my point of view doesn't prevail. But there is no room in civilized society for people who blow up a university building in the name of peace, who bomb a government building in the name of freedom, or who destroy a skyscraper in the name of God. There is no room in civilized society for those who believe that the innocent are only "collateral damage" in a political campaign in which violence is the primary tool.
Before 9/11, there was Oklahoma City. Before Oklahoma City, there was Sterling Hall, and before that a variety of other acts of domestic terrorism throughout our history, perpetrated by extremists of the right and of the left.
We should never forget 9/11. But we will do ourselves, and the cause of freedom, a disservice if we ever forget Oklahoma City.

With snow on the ground and crisp notes in the air, it felt like a perfect day to cozy up with a good book or hot cup of joe. It also turns out it's a great day to get married.
Cindy McIntyre and Pam Kenney are tying the knot in Warren at the West Hill House Bed and Breakfast.
"It's the nicest place we could think of to get married," Pam said.
But it was more than Vermont's scenic landscapes and laid back culture that drew this couple in; it was the date.
"When 11/12/13 came up and we met in November in the first place, we decided it was the perfect date for us," Cindy said.
It does have quite the ring to it.
"We're very happy," Pam said.
Across the country some in the wedding biz estimate 3,000 happy couples like Cindy and Pam will exchange vows.
"We've been together for 28 years," Pam said.
The two started planning in April. They were lured in by the bed-and-breakfast trying to capture romance for the 11/12/13 date, offering a special wedding package for $1,450. It included everything: cake, Champagne and a room. Greg Trulson, the officiant, says this Tuesday I do's are in the air.
"Today I have one more wedding, so that will make three weddings today," Trulson said.
Reporter Gina Bullard: Have you ever done three weddings before on a Tuesday?
Greg Trulson: Not on a Tuesday.
Gina Bullard: Are people surprised you're getting married on a Tuesday?
Cindy McIntyre: Yeah, I told my friends we were getting married on 11/12/13. It finally dawned on them what 11/12/13 was; they thought it was neat. So, hopefully it will be a very lucky day for us.
Lucky-- and there is another big benefit.
"Because I wouldn't forget it," Pam laughed. "For anniversaries-- 11/12/13-- you can't mess that one up."
Cheers to you Cindy and Pam, to many more unforgettable anniversaries.
If you missed out getting married on this sequential date, don't worry, you still have one more chance this century-- on 12/13/14 next year.

This isn't meant at the expense of any of the other players on the team, because as frequently reiterated, everyone played well yesterday, but I've been surprised to see so little acclaim for Aurelio's contribution to the result.
In Alonso and Agger's absences, the onus on starting the attack has fallen to Carragher, Hyypia, and Mascherano. While Mascherano has resumed playing some lovely short passes to open up space in the last few games, none of these three has the long-range passing that's in either Alonso or Agger's locker. In the past few games when Liverpool's struggled, it's been Carra and Hyypia pumping long balls forward out of defense to varying degrees of success.
This is where Aurelio shined last night. I'm going to crib a couple of images from the invaluable flash stats at the bottom of the Daily Telegraph's match report to illustrate.
The preferred passes category illustrates the point perfectly:
Look at the number of passes Aurelio played to Crouch compared to other players. Crouch also received the ball from Aurelio more than anyone else. In addition, Aurelio received the ball from Carra and Hyypia more often than not, showing he was a frequent pivot between defense and attack.
Admittedly, Crouch's availability as a target-man and his ball retention played a big part in the success, but it was Aurelio who usually found him with the pass.
Too often against the likes of Marseille and Besiktas away, Liverpool lost possession when they hoofed it out of defense, and when they struggled, they ended up resorting to this option more in spite of a lack of success. But with Aurelio's excellent long passing, coupled with Crouch's ability to collect the ball, Liverpool was able to set up attack after attack against Besiktas.
Again, this isn't a slight on Carragher and Hyypia. Both are superlative defenders, and both are rightful legends of the club. But I also think both would admit bringing the ball out of defense and long-range passing aren't their fortes.
I for one am thrilled to have Aurelio back in the team.

Rated 4.1 out of 5�by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by daxtere 5 stars I brought my 94 year old Dad to Dick's to get a new Binoculars. The salesman was great with him and really took his time to make sure Dad got his item. Thank you to the staff at the Hagerstown MD store. June 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by grumpy Good Binoculars for travel These glasses fit the bill for what we wanted to take on a trip. Not so heavy as set we already had and they have a great field of vision. Time will tell if they are worth the price we paid. March 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by fred great optics for the price The Leopold BX-1 Yosemite is a great value as it is in the entry level of premium field glasses, yet is among the lowest priced in its category. Designed for smaller hands, it is compact and has an excellent range with no perceptible distortion around the lens edges. December 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by Hundunale Clear and bright I really liked the clarity of these, but the eye cup on the right side would not stay extended. The detent to lock the eye cup in place was weak. Every time I looked through the binoculars, the left eye cup was up and the right one was down. I ended up returning them after 1 day. I am now looking for some new binoculars. . October 22, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5�by miles1 Worth the money Just got these binoculars the other day and they are truly amazing such a clear view. I live in the country and can really reach out and see what is going on. Great for target spotting. Same quality as you see in the leupold scopes. April 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by bill50 leupold binoculars seem to have a very good clear picture and fairly compact for carrying. November 13, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by pw2258 Works very well for hunting I purchased these and took them straight to a hunt and they performed perfectly. The adjustable eyecups are great and the field of view is great even in fairly dense wood. Also, I too had trouble putting the straps onto the binoculars. October 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Driver. Best binoculars in this price range. If you wear glasses(or sunglasses) you will love these binoculars. Leupold has quick adjustable eye cups which make it so easy to use with or without glasses. Very clear optics, especially during critical daytime periods of dusk and dawn. Easy to track moving objects such as birds and running prairie dogs. Light weight, comfortable neck strap(I didn't have difficulty attaching this). Trust me and spend the extra 20-40 bucks to buy these, you will not be disappointed. I've watched antelope, prairie dogs, birds, moving vehicles and even the neighbors(j/k). July 29, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5�by birder Wish I'd gotten help in the store I would give the product more stars but I'm still trying to figure out how to connect the strap to the binoculars. They are fairly useless without the strap as I'm a birder and like to hike with binocs. June 4, 2012
