Seems likely that Leslie won't make the roster this year.
Among the remaining free agents there are:
Adam Morrison is currently a fan favorite after a dazzling Summer League but the Clippers team is already impressive in terms of offense. However, the team's individual and team defense is sub-par. Williams, Pietrus, Webster, and Douglas-Roberts are all options of both defence and some offense. However, it is unlikely that they will want to be a 12 man on the roster for a vet's minimum as Meeks had a prominent role in the Sixers, Martell was paid 5 million the year before, Pietrus and Williams played major minutes last season, and Douglas-Roberts would stick overseas for the money.
Matt Barnes is a viable candidate. Yes his sense on offense sucks and he runs around without purpose sometimes but his defense is definitely one of the best in the class of wing players. He can be streaky behind the 3 point line but he would be after Butler and Hill. He wants to win more championships at this age and would be willing to take the Vet's minimum. With Butler, Hill, and Barnes playing continuous pressure defense on the opponent, the Clippers would definitely slow down, if not seal, the opponent 2 or 3.
It does make the team older but there aren't any young defensive wings that are as renowned. Plus it seems as though the team wants to win NOW in order to keep Paul. Thoughts and opinions? Please don't say "He was a Faker!!!" its kinda obvious

Maybe nobody else saw this or thought this but, when the play was live I thought he did drop the pass. There was some sort of shadow that I thought was the ball during that play, that made is look like the ball hit the ground. Right after the play I said, "how the hell do you drop that pass."
The problem is, I feel the replay clearly showed that he had control of the ball the entire time and I simply don't understand how the refs do not reverse that call.

Senators who oversee U.S. intelligence issues have approved a plan to scale back how many Americans' telephone records the National Security Agency can sweep up. The bill passed the Senate Intelligence Committee by an 11-4 vote Thursday. It is the latest legislation offered to limit surveillance authorities following the disclosure of documents showing widespread government snooping. The bill would end some of the bulk collection of the millions of Americans' phone records that are swept up every day. Some record collection would still be allowed but it was not immediately clear how much or under what circumstances. It also would create 10-year prison sentences for people who are not authorized to access the classified material. And the bill would increase congressional oversight of intelligence activities. (AP)

By Topic
In the activities of national public relations and consumer education, Ogilvy and Mather had purchased DAY and reshaped account service policies and personnel. The IPC decided to review national PR firms and Creamer, Dickson & Basford of New York became the new PR practitioners for Idaho® potatoes.
Export business was also being pursued by the Idaho potato industry, and the IPC decided to register its trademarks in Japan and attempt to open up that market. To assist in the effort, the Asahi agency was retained to conduct a study for the IPC and assist in the trademark-registration process.
With a new PR agency and a new foodservice agency in place, the Commission decided to review the consumer advertising-agency service, as well. When the review was announced, it was to include DDB Needham, but the agency executives made the decision to resign the account and not be a contender in the competitive presentations. The San Francisco office of Young and Rubicam was selected and, at this writing, is conducting its second national advertising campaign for the world's most famous potato.
In general, many talented and dedicated people at the several agencies that have been involved have lent their energies to the advertising and promotion of Idaho® potatoes. With continued success in the marketplace, the growth of the Idaho® potato industry and its promotional programs will only be limited by the quantity of potatoes that can be grown in the Gem State.
With the amount of competition that exists in food marketing, it is extremely unlikely that the Idaho® potato industry will ever be without a substantial advertising program and a national advertising agency to plan, create, and communicate the Idaho advertising message to the American public.

Since 1977, the Penn State/IFC Panhellenic Dance Marathon, affectionately known as THON, has raised more than $69 million for The Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital—helping more than 2,000 children diagnosed with pediatric cancer. In 2010 alone, THON raised more than $7.9 million.
The actual two-day dance marathon, this year Feb. 18–20 at the Bryce Jordan Center, is the culmination of a yearlong effort on behalf of students, alumni and Penn State friends across the country.
Racing Toward THON—Fall Events
THON kicked off Oct. 17 with a 5K race as more than 4,000 runners sped through campus. Just like the Dance Marathon, the THON 5K outgrew its original venue so the start was moved this year to the BJC. All proceeds from the 5K go to THON.
During the fall, students also trekked to cities and towns across the East Coast Oct. 22–24 to raise money the old-fashioned way: face-to-face. Canning weekends are a THON tradition, and students often receive national media attention for their canning efforts—this year students were featured on FOX News. Be on the lookout for Penn State canners in major cities during the remaining canning weekends; Dec. 3–5, Jan. 21–23, and Feb. 11–13.
On Nov. 10, students celebrated the 100-day countdown to the Dance Marathon by spelling out "FTK"—For the Kids—on Old Main Lawn and holding events across campus. The THON students also put together an inspiring 100 days until THON video.
Finally, football fans were able to share in the THON excitement. For the first time, a Penn State football game served as a fundraising event as the Nittany Lions took on the Indiana Hosiers Nov. 20 at FedEx field in Landover, Md. Working with the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics, the NFL's Washington Redskins donated five percent of game ticket sales to THON.
Get Involved
THON continues to grow thanks to the support of alumni and Penn State friends. Gala events in five cities last year raised nearly $100,000—and are planned again for this year.
New York City: Hope Gala, Jan. 21
Pittsburgh: Blue White Ball, Jan. 22
Atlanta: Diamonds Over Georgia, Jan. 28
Washington, D.C.: Knights of Diamonds Gala, March 26
Philadelphia: Liberty Ball: A Knight for the Kids, March 26
Many other alumni groups hold fundraisers for THON, too. From THON nights at various professional hockey matches to baseball games to raffles and auctions to golf outings, Penn State alumni chapters across the country are busy year round raising money for THON and The Four Diamonds Fund.
Individually, alums can register to participate in The Hope Express, a 135-mile run in 24 hours from Penn State Hershey Medical Center to THON—symbollically linking the families on the seventh floor of the Hershey Med Center to the THON dancers. Last year, The Hope Express raised more than $40,000. In addition, alumni can also compete for two alumni dancer couple spots to dance in THON. Alumni trying for these spots generally raise $4,000–$8,000, although in some years they have raised as much as $15,000 each. For more info on these and other alumni events supporting THON, visit the Dance Marathon Alumni Interest Group.
If there isn't a THON event in your area, start your own fundraising effort. THONline fundraising is an easy way to raise awareness for THON—they've done all the work, you just need to click send. While online, make a one-time donation or visit the THON Store for THON apparel, accessories and gifts, all of which benefits The Four Diamonds Fund.

New baby? New PaciPlushies!
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the parents with the baby carriage and we all know that most babies need a Pacifier! But lose it in the crib, your purse or the diaper bag and "It's On!"
Along comes a new idea called Paci Plushies, a line of lightweight plush animals which not only solve the "where's the pacifier" question but helps baby develop motor skills.
The toy, invented by Stacy Dallman, wife of NHL Defensiveman Kevin Dallman of the LA Kings, was created to solve the disappearing pacifier phenomenon.
Stacy and her husband grew weary of the nightly trips to the crib to find baby Ava's pacifier and so Stacy got the "bright idea" to attach a toy to it so it would be easier to locate. Presto! It worked. When her son came along she waited until the doctor gave her the OK to let him sleep with it and he also slept straight through the night with his Paci Plushie.
Call it the binky, the nuk nuk or whatever, one thing for sure is that most babies spend a good amount of time sucking a pacifier and most moms and dads spend an equal amount of time looking for the pacifier to keep baby happy.
You can buy the Paci Plushies in girl, boy or neutral gift sets or singly for $13.95 on the web site at www.PaciPlushies.com. If a new baby is on the way this makes a perfect gift.
While the pacifiers with the button handle work best, the Paci Plushie attaches to nearly all name brand infant pacifiers with its "hug ring" and best of all, Paci Plushies are machine washable.
When baby outgrows the newborn or infant pacifier, simply detach it from the Paci Plushie and replace with the appropriate size. When you break the pacifier habit, the baby still has the Plushie as his favorite toy.
Safety was a major concern for Stacy and all Paci Plushies meet or exceed required standards. The beans inside the body of the toy are contained within a safety bag. Each Plushie has a reusable cap to keep the nipple clean.
There are eight different Plushies including Milo the Monkey, P-Nut the Puppy and Lovie the Lamb. In a philanthropic effort to "give back", 100% of the wholesale proceeds from the sale of Lovie the Lamb are being donated to a foundation that helps ensure children have a carefree childhood.
Knowing how babies and some toddlers are so attached to their pacifiers, losing one is almost not an option for a parent who needs to soothe a fussy baby. With the Paci Plushie it won't be hard to find. Think about easing into baby's room once he's asleep to remove the pacifier from his mouth or the frantic search in the dark when baby wakes up without it. Much easier when you have the Paci Plushie!
When toddlers can find the pacifier themselves because they can locate their favorite Plushie, it relieves mom and dad from the daily "where's the pacifier now" routine.
Nookums, the New York based company that features trendy products for the childrens market launched its Spring 2009 line of Paci Plushies pacificer holders but Stacy says a plush "hockey stick" version could show up soon.
The PaciPlushie was featured in the September 2008 issue of Parenting Magazine and was the winner of the Mom's Best Award for 2009.

Community Engagement
A lot has happened since Circuit of Wales last visited the many towns and communities of Blaenau Gwent, which is why we are excited to embark upon another series of community consultations in the region.
New venues and dates will be announced soon.
Wednesday 8 May – Llanhilleth
Tuesday 7 May – Brynmawr
Thursday 2 May – Abertillery
Wednesday 1 May – Ebbw Vale
Tuesday 30 April – Blaina
Monday 29 April – Tredegar
Tuesday 4 December – Garnlydan
Friday 30 November – Beaufort
Thursday 29 November – Nantybwch
Tuesday 27 November – Rassau
Monday 26 November – Trefil
Thursday 27 September – Llangynidr
Circuit of Wales says goodbye (for now) in Llangynidr
Llangynidr Village Hall saw one of the Circuit of Wales' highest turnouts in this extended phase of the first consultation period. Sitting outside of the planning authority, and just over the valley from Rassau, the visitors had some very insightful questions (including enquiries about traffic management on event days). It was the final exhibition of this first series of consultations, and the team look forward to getting on the road again to spread the word about Circuit of Wales.
Friday 7 September – ASDA Brynmawr
ASDA shoppers in Brynmawr show their support
An impressive number of people chose to stop and chat when the Circuit of Wales team visited ASDA in Brynmawr with over 150 people keen to engage on the proposal (and look at our 600cc training bike that was on display). Feedback was very positive with people particularly keen to learn about potential job opportunities.
Circuit of Wales reaches the peaks of Trefil
The Circuit of Wales team held its penultimate exhibition in the village of Trefil (or, more specifically, Trefil Rugby Club). Despite its relatively isolated location, we are happy to report that 33 visitors made the effort to come along and hear about the project, offering their thoughts and, as was mostly the case, their support. Noise was raised as an issue among some, although of the 13 feedback forms that were returned, 10 were positive.
Tuesday 4 September – Tesco Ebbw Vale
Every little helps in Tesco Ebbw Vale
The Circuit of Wales team visited Tesco in Ebbw Vale to hand out our information leaflets and ensure word about the project continues to spread. The team spoke to over a hundred shoppers (among them, many residents of Rassau), all of whom spoke positively about the Circuit of Wales. Enthusiasm for the project was palpable, and the visit to Tesco Ebbw Vale proved to be a very successful one.
Great response from Beaufort
The impressive turnout at Beaufort Theatre ensured the Circuit of Wales ended its first series of community consultations on a high note. Over 70 visitors attended the exhibition, and support was unanimous for the project.
Here's what the people of Beaufort had to say about the Circuit of Wales:
"It's a brilliant idea, much-needed for the area. We need new jobs and entertainment"
"Fabulous idea. Somewhere for the kids to go… Very impressive"
"This development would bring South Wales to the attention of the world"
"This project could give back a sense of purpose to much of the community which has only experienced decline and disappointment in recent years"
Blaina excited about Circuit of Wales
Salem Chapel on Blaina High Street opened its doors for Circuit of Wales visitors on Thursday - in what was the penultimate exhibition in this first series of community consultations.
Over 30 people turned out at the exhibition, which allowed the Circuit of Wales team to provide them with further updates on the project's status as the application deadline for planning draws nearer.
Here are some comments from Blaina:
"A positive development in a community needing positive input"
"It will put Wales on the map, attracting international motor sport and creating desperately needed jobs in the Valleys"
"Great coup for the area and Wales"
"This will be a fabulous project for the area, providing a vast array of economic development opportunities for Blaenau Gwent"
Wednesday 29 August – Tredegar
Enthusiasm from Tredegar
Gwent Shopping Centre in Tredegar saw the Circuit of Wales exhibition receive its second highest number of visitors of the past two weeks.
With over 50 members of the public coming into the shop to learn more about the Circuit of Wales, the team was happy to answer any questions they had. These ranged from how schoolchildren would be involved in the project, down to more technical aspects of the circuit.
Some attendees did raise concern around noise and the exact location of the development, which the project team discussed with them and will be following up in the coming weeks and months with more information.
Visitors also let their thoughts on the Circuit of Wales be known by filling out our feedback forms, some views from which can be seen below:
"Excellent! Make it happen! We need this badly"
"Great that Blaenau Gwent was chosen as the site for this project – we'd be foolish not to grasp it"
"Great for the development of the kids. Will give them a fantastic future"
"Fantastic project that will hopefully breathe life back into the Valleys. Anything that has the potential to bring jobs, interest and pride back to South Wales can only be a good thing"
Brynmawr voices its support
The number of people who attended the Circuit of Wales Community Engagement at Brynmawr Community Centre on Tuesday spoke volumes about the continued public interest in the project.
Interestingly, on more than one occasion it was suggested by members of the public that the Circuit of Wales is a project that the youngsters of Blaenau Gwent can grow with; something for them to look forward to when they leave school or college.
Here are some other insights from the exhibitions:
"I am overwhelmed by the insight and outlook of what is a very inspirational project"
"The project is something that would bring the Borough into the 21st century and give hope to our young people"
"An excellent idea. It will breathe life into the Gwent area"
"Brilliant – it would be the best thing to happen to Blaenau Gwent in a long time"
Circuit avails in Ebbw
The fifth Circuit of Wales Community Engagement took place within the newly-restored Ebbw Vale Institute on Friday.
With over 40 visitors, many of whom were particularly excited about having a motor sports circuit on their front door, support for the Circuit of Wales was resounding. A common theme among some members of the public was that they would save time and money not having to make the hours-long journey to the nearest top-class circuits.
Here is some feedback from the people of Ebbw Vale:
"Fantastic idea. About time Blaenau Gwent had something top-end, infrastructure-wise, to place it on the map"
"A first-class idea. I hope the powers that be will support it and aid its development"
"One of the most important and beneficial projects that has been undertaken in this part of Wales in the past 30 years"
"Welcome project for a deprived area"
Thursday 23 August – Six Bells
Six bells ring in support of Circuit of Wales
Ty Ebbw Fach in Six Bells was the venue for the fourth round of Circuit of Wales community consultations. Almost 40 people attended the exhibition, with visitors aged 12 to 70 taking the opportunity to have their photograph taken on some of our display motorbikes.
Six Bells' support for the Circuit of Wales is undeniable, and those who came to Ty Ebbw Fach (located a stone's throw from the famous 'Guardian of the Valleys' monument) offered comments such as:
"Brilliant. Just what the area needs – win win all round"
"Exciting. It could really make a difference to local people and provide a cultural change, offering jobs, prospects and a rejuvenated Blaenau Gwent"
"Can only be positive! We should be proud to have it! Spread the word"
"No objections whatsoever. Nice to see it come to the area"
Wednesday 22 August – Abertillery
Metro-pole position in Abertillery
The Metropole venue in Abertillery saw another successful Community Engagement on behalf of the Circuit of Wales.
A steady stream of attendees ensured that feedback on the project was plentiful and greatly appreciated. Our team was able to capture attendees' thoughts and hopes for the Circuit of Wales in a visual manner (examples of which will be on the website shortly).
Here is a sample of some of the comments from Abertillery:
"I think it's the best project I have seen coming to this area for a long time"
"First class, what a wonderful opportunity for our area"
"In one word: 'GREAT'"
"Go for it. We need something here to ensure a future for our people"
"I think the capacity for education and learning is fabulous, as well as the use of green energy"
Positive thoughts from Garnlydan
Community Engagements regarding the Circuit of Wales project continued on Tuesday – this time in Garnlydan.
Attendance was slightly more muted last night in Garnlydan, however those members of the public who did come to find out more information regarding the proposed plans left feeling enthused about the Circuit of Wales.
Here are some of the comments left by visitors:
"I believe this project could save Ebbw Vale and its surroundings with the boost of jobs and tourism coming into the area it can only be a positive turn"
"I think it's a great opportunity for the local people to gain employment, as well as regenerating the area"
"It could bring Ebbw Vale back from extinction, making it a better place to live and enjoy motor sports"

First class travel on this route by ferries to France is always fine and it'll be even more beneficial when you're intending to plan it better much early than trying to seek a ticket during last minute bookings. That is never encouraged by any ferry operator. Early bookings gets you a fairly good amount of discounts and special offers also get you a nice discounts, which come up through the seasons. Dover ferry is growing more popular and they're getting most for their investment on trip.

I know ML was / is high on his capabilities. Would Palmer be able to challenge Dalton to his next level? Would Palmer be worth considering in a backup role? Money is not his main issue and maybe the mess that is the Raiders has knocked some sense in him?

We're counting down SB Nation's NFL power rankings for Week 13 and the San Diego Chargers are sitting on the cusp of the top 10. They've now won four consecutive games and look like they're going on their annual end of the season run. The Chargers sit one game behind the Chiefs and face that KC team on Dec. 12.
Meanwhile the Redskins have dug themselves into a hole where they'll likely now need to win out to have a shot at the postseason. The Raiders tumbled and the Titans, despite the loss, stand in the thick of the AFC playoff race.
Here are No. 20-11 for SB Nation's Week 13 NFL power rankings.
20. Washington Redskins (5-6): If you wanted to make the playoffs, you have to beat a three-win team late in November. The Redskins probably need to run the table to make the playoffs at this point. LW: 18
19. Oakland Raiders (5-6): After three consecutive convincing wins, the Raiders lost by 32 and 16 points in the last two weeks. They now sit one game behind the Chargers and two behind the Chiefs. In other words, the playoffs probably aren't happening this year. LW: 17
18. Tennessee Titans (5-6): For all the turmoil that's going on in Tennessee right now, this team sits one game out of first place. The next three weeks, they host all three other AFC South foes and end the season at Indianapolis. If they want it, they can win the division. LW: 16
17. Houston Texans (5-6): Houston got a much-needed division win over the Titans but two bigger tests are coming: at Philly and hosting the Ravens. LW: 21
16. Miami Dolphins (6-5): The Dolphins are hanging around in the playoff race. With a tough AFC, they might be able to afford one slipup the rest of the way. LW: 20
15. Jacksonville Jaguars (6-5): The Jaguars are sitting in what appears to be a mediocre division. They're tied with the Colts for the AFC South lead through 12 weeks so it's there if they want it. LW: 15
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-4): Yeah, the Bucs don't beat anyone good but they also don't make the schedule. With games coming up against the Redskins, Lions and Seahawks, they may not have to beat anyone good to get to 10 wins. LW: 10
13. Kansas City Chiefs (7-4): The Chiefs looked sharp on Sunday against the Seahawks. It's looking more and more like the Dec. 12 matchup with the Chargers will decide the division. LW: 14
12. New York Giants (7-4): The Giants returned to first place with a win over the Jaguars last Sunday. They're a good team -- there's no doubt about that. Looking at their schedule, I see three more should-be-victories. LW: 12
11. San Diego Chargers (5-5): The Chargers put up one of the best performances of the year against Peyton Manning and the Colts on Sunday night. Their slow start is hurting them in the AFC West but it appears they're in the midst of a serious run to end the season. LW: 13

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vicki Schmidt continues to suffer flashbacks of the bombs going off at the Boston Marathon. Her boyfriend, there cheering her on, has a hole in his eardrum and hearing loss in both ears.
The bombings occurred before Schmidt could finish the race, and the physical and mental wounds have made her more determined to run the half-marathon portion of Saturday's Country Music Marathon — which promises to be an emotional event.
It is the largest combined marathon and half-marathon to be held in the United States since the April 15 bombings that killed three people and injured more than 260.
"I'm not going to let what's happened taint my love for running," said Schmidt, a 51-year-old paralegal from Nashville. "I tend to think there's a lot more good than evil in this world, and I can't be scared to walk out my door."
The Nashville paralegal isn't alone.
Competitor Inc., the group that runs the Country Music Marathon, estimates 30,000 people will enter the marathon, half marathon and mini marathon events at Nashville this weekend. Executive vice president Tracy Sundlun said about the same number of people participated in last year's event.
Vance Poss of Franklin had finished the Boston Marathon about an hour before the bombings. He was lying in his hotel room about three blocks from the finish line when he saw the news reports on television. He never had any second thoughts about running in Nashville this weekend.
"We're not going to stop living the way we live just because of a few people who want to disrupt our fun," Poss said.
Lynn Burnett of Livingston had fought through a hamstring injury to complete the Boston Marathon and was only about 500 feet beyond the finish line when the explosions hit. He plans to work as a pace leader Saturday in the half-marathon event.

Trials & Litigation
Posted May 28, 2010 1:39 PM CDT
By Mark Hansen
When BP's Texas City, Texas, oil refinery exploded in 2005, killing 15 workers and injuring hundreds, company officials came to know Brent Coon very well.
Coon, who heads a Beaumont, Texas-based environment and personal injury practice, spearheaded the Texas civil litigation against BP following the accident, which the company eventually settled for more than $3 billion in damages.
He now represents one of the survivors in last month's explosion of BP's Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico, which killed 11 workers and has led to the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
And he's gearing up to take on the company once again, according to a profile of the colorful 50-year-old lawyer published Friday in the Montreal Gazette.
Not that Coon is someone who could easily be forgotten. He wears his hair long, dresses in jeans and work boots, sports a tattoo, plays guitar in a rock and roll band, rides motorcycles and hangs out with Playboy playmates.
And he's got something to prove.
"With BP, we have this long history of reckless behavior," he told the paper. "BP is no better today than they were five years ago."

From a press release in my inbox:
Las Vegas, NV (USA) – Sports fans in Chicago unite! The UFC® is coming to town and it is bringing the world's greatest pound for pound fighter, Anderson "The Spider" Silva, for a middleweight title fight against his number one contender, Patrick "The Predator" Cote. The UFC will make its historic first trip to Chicago this fall when it presents UFC 90: SILVA vs. COTE live from Allstate Arena on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2008.
"Anderson Silva once again showed why he's the greatest pound for pound fighter in the world when he moved up to light heavyweight and destroyed James "The Sandman" Irvin," said Dana White, UFC President. "Now he drops back down to middleweight to defend his world title against Patrick Cote, a fighter on a four-fight win streak with a style that guarantees an incredible fight, wherever it goes. There is no better way to introduce Chicago to the UFC than with the championship fight Anderson Silva vs. Patrick Cote."
Tickets for UFC 90: SILVA vs. COTE will go on sale Monday, August 18 at 10am CT starting at $50. Tickets will be available at Allstate Arena Box Office, all Ticketmaster Ticket Centers, Charge-By-Phone at (312) 559-1212 or online at ticketmaster.com.
UFC® Fight Club™ members will have the opportunity to purchase tickets to this event Friday, August 15 at 10am CT via the website www.ufc.com. A special Internet ticket pre-sale will be available to UFC newsletter subscribers Sunday, August 17 starting at 10am CT. To access this presale, users must register for the UFC newsletter through www.ufc.com.
UFC 90: SILVA vs. COTE is available live on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. EST/7 p.m. PST on iN DEMAND, DIRECTV, DISH Network, TVN, Bell ExpressVu, Shaw Communications and Viewer's Choice Canada for a suggested retail price of $44.95 for standard definition or high-definition broadcasts (where available).
It took Silva (22-4) just 61 seconds to defeat his last opponent, James "The Sandman" Irvin at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas July 19, but that is par for the course for "The Spider", who burst on to the UFC scene two years ago. His list of victims started with a devastating knockout of Chris Leben in June 2006. He followed that up with two TKOs over Rich Franklin, a submission win over Travis Lutter, a TKO over Nate Marquardt and a second round submission over PRIDE 183-pound champion Dan Henderson. Silva, considered by most to be the most dominant force the UFC middleweight division has ever seen, now faces number one middleweight contender Patrick "The Predator" Cote.
"It's an honor to be fighting Patrick Cote in the first UFC event ever in Chicago," said Silva. "I'm excited to take on Cote, but I am taking him very seriously; he is a dangerous striker and he likes to stand and trade with his opponents. That's the kind of fight fans like to see, and that's definitely the fight we're going to give them Oct. 25."
Cote, (14-4) fighting out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, is on a four fight win streak in the Octagon™, beginning his string of excellence back in February of 2007 with a decision win over Scott Smith at UFC 67. Six months later, he TKO'd Kendall Grove in the first round at UFC 74, and followed that up with a first round TKO over and Drew McFedries at UFC Fight Night in January 2008. But it was his most recent victory, a pivotal win over Ricardo Almeida at UFC 86 on July 5th that propelled him to number one contender status. Now Cote has the opportunity to join countryman Georges St-Pierre as a current Canadian UFC titleholder by taking out reigning champion Silva at UFC 90.
"Everybody that fought Anderson Silva was scared of him; I'm not scared of him one bit," said Cote. "It's gonna take him 10 straight punches to take me down - I only need one punch to take him down. I'm Patrick Cote, I win against grapplers and I knock strikers out. I can't wait to go to Chicago and take the belt home to Montreal."

It really is no laughing matter. Do you know how many pens are stolen on a daily basis. Oops I forgot to hand the pen back to the bank after signing the check…. sound familiar? For me it's doubly bad because I collect pens, the more interesting the better. I don't steal them I buy them. My KIDS help themselves to my pens all the time and I hate it. I keep my best writing pens close to me because I have to take a lot of notes at college and don't want my good pens disappearing.
Paper Mate wanted to help me and others like me out by helping me set up a pen theft crime watch. They want me to keep my new InkJoy pens safe so they sent me…a safe! A high tech fingerprint only safe to keep my pens safe. I knew my little thieves would try to swipe them, so I caught them in the act!
When you value your pens like me, keeping them safe is a must! I love my InkJoy pens because they write so easily and now they are safe from grabby hands!
Buy It: Get your InkJoy pens from mass merchandisers like Target and Amazon.com!
Paper Mate provided me materials to facilitate this review and video, all opinions are my own. No actors were harmed in this hilarious video.

New season preview
7:50pm Thursday 12th April 2012 in Cricket
IT may not be cricket weather just yet but the new season gets underway for many this weekend. Here, BRYAN WATERS assesses the prospects for some of our local sides.
Following their disappointing performance last year, Unsworth are looking to get the new Central Lancashire League season underway this Sunday with victory away to Monton & Weaste.
The Pole Lane club finished 13th last year and with the league splitting into two divisions for 2013, captain Jon Wiggans has set his sights on a top eight finish.
They will have a youthful flavour this season with Jack O'Brien and Aman Arora rated as good prospects. But Wiggans believes that Unsworth has the right blend of youth and experience in the first team to make the top eight a viable proposition.
Summer recruitment has seen the arrival of wicketkeeper Mark Hague from Bury and highly-rated overseas amateur Hussain Bhadat, who plies his trade in the highly competitive Durban Premier League in South Africa.
In the North Manchester League, Tottington St John's are undergoing a period of squad redevelopment.
New captain Asif Iqbal, pictured, will look to improve on last season's mid-table finish, as the club look to bring through a talented crop of academy players. Tottington travel to Westleigh away on April 21.
Elton were runners-up in last year's Bolton Association and are eager to go one better this season.
The same nucleus of players will be captained by Jon Ashworth.
They have also strengthened, with the signing of professional Chris Read from Edenfield, who is tipped to be a star of the season.
In the Manchester Association, Bury are looking to build on last season's second place, after being pipped to the title by Swinton Moore.
Bury have the Divisional Trophy to contend with before the league begins in May and good form in that competition will give them confidence towards their opener away at Wythenshawe.
The arrival of Sri Lankan overseas pro Milinda Siriwardana, as well as young talents such as Rhys McCarthy and opening bowler Lewis Jarvis, have given captain Simon Belston great hope of a successful season.
Prestwich, the reigning Lancs County League champions, will be looking for a repeat success, although the league is widely tipped to be closely contested this season.
Flowery Field are the first opponents for the champions at Heys Road on April 21, but they will be without slow left arm spinner Chris Jones, who has moved on to Roe Green.
Prestwich will, however, welcome back Oliver Holt, who is back with the club after a season away.
Weekend fixtures Saturday Ribblesdale League: Edenfield v Settle Manchester Association Premier Division: Bury v Worsley.
Division One: Brooksbottom v Newton Heath.
National Club Championship: Little Lever v Prestwich.
Sunday Central Lancashire League: Monton & Weaste v Unsworth, Radcliffe v Middleton.
Inter-League Challenge: Uppermill v Prestwich.

LAVERGNE, Tenn. – A LaVergne husband and wife are dead Friday following what police are now classifying a murder-suicide.
Officers were called to Daniel and Nith Sim's home, located at 1019 Betty Lou Lane in the Lake Forest Estates subdivision, around 10:20 a.m. amid reports of a shooting.
Upon arrival, they found the couple inside a bedroom with gunshot wounds.
Two handguns were also found in the room. Police said both weapons appeared to have been fired although ballistics testing would be performed.
The couple's two children, a five-month-old boy and a two-year-old girl, were also in the bedroom.
Police said Daniel Sim's mother was visiting from New York and also in the home. She reported she heard a loud boom but didn't think anything of it at first.
After a while, she went to the bedroom but found the door locked. After finding a key, she entered the room and discovered the couple had been shot.
LaVergne police said it appears Nith Sim, 27, who is originally from Cambodia, shot her 28-year-old husband Daniel before turning the gun on herself.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Daniel Sim was transported to Stonecrest Medical Center in Smyrna and later to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville where he died a few hours later.
A motive was not immediately known.
LaVergne Police Chief Ted Boyd said, "We've talked to witnesses and stuff and it didn't seem like it was a bad marriage that we knew about [or] that witnesses knew about, but like I say, when it gets into a personal thing, everyone doesn't know everyone's business."
Police said a roommate lived at the home with the Sims. He also did not report anything out of the ordinary between the couple.
The Sim's children are in the custody of Daniel Sim's mother, who is receiving assistance from the Tennessee Department of Children's Services.

VIDEO & GALLERY: Shops 'Queen' Mary Portas gives hope to Nelson
Updated 10:41am Wednesday 30th January 2013 in Pendle By Bill Jacobs, Local government reporter
'QUEEN Of Shops' Mary Portas came to Nelson yesterday on a mission to revive its central area and declared: "We can do it."
After a rainy, grey, whistle-stop tour the she was enthusiastic about the possibilities of creating a vibrant new life for the historic heart of the town.
It was the retail guru's first visit to Nelson since awarding it £100,000 last summer as one of 12 Portas Towns under a government drive to regenerate ailing high streets.
Her tour took in a meeting with Nelson's town team at the ACE Centre, a visit to Scotland Road and the near-empty Victory Centre and examining work to refurbish the main library.
Miss Portas said: "This is the first time I have visited Nelson. It's beautiful. It's gorgeous even on a grey rainy Tuesday.
"There is some fine Victorian architecture here and great energy from everyone involved with the town centre. They really care.
"It's not like some town centres I have visited where you really wonder what on earth you can do.
"I really think we going to be able the manage this."
She was keen to stress that the projects to revive Nelson centre had to come from local people but was impressed with the range of ideas on offer – stressing the need for a plan with 'two or three winners' to be developed and then be given the full commitment of the borough council, town traders, Nelson and Colne College, and residents.
Among the ideas she favoured were:
- Creating Nelson's own answer to Rusholme's Curry Mile along Manchester Road;
- Using 'creative co-operation' to get three or four businesses to lease premises together to create retail mini-markets;
- Encouraging the creation of low-cost flats for students and young people in the town centre;
- Clearing council red-tape out of the way of new, small businesses; and
- Offering cheap 'peppercorn' starter rents to new firms wanting to take leases in the central area.
She was also impressed with the success of the arts and vintage market at the Victory centre in October, where small traders took £11,000 between them in a few days.
Nelson and Colne college student Ameena Bibi, 18, told Miss Portas how success at the event had led her to set up her own business making and selling designer candles.
Pendle council regeneration chief Paul White and Nelson's Apprentice TV show star Azhar Siddique were keen to capitalise on the town's Asian community by setting up a Curry Mile in competition with Manchester's highly successful equivalent in Rushholme. Miss Portas said: "That's a splendid idea, really good. Why should local people travel to Bradford or Manchester for a curry?
"The retail landscape changes every 50 years. The High Street is never going to be the same again.
"We need to build on what people do locally and find out what people want in their town centre.
"We need a mix of leisure, social interaction, shopping, health and learning. The high street has to offer what people cannot do on the internet or by getting in their car and going to an out of town shopping centre.
"There has to be something for everybody – the young and the older residents. If you bring young people into the town centre to live they will bring life with them."
Coun White was enthusiastic about the prospects of a Portas-style Nelson: "We are never going to fill 69 empty shops but I think we can really revive the town centre. Mary Portas coming has given people confidence and belief."
Mr Siddique said: "Nelson town centre has really improved in the last five years. I think we can build on this, the town's history and its multi-cultural nature for the future."
Not everyone was so hopeful.
Shirley Travis, 77, from Barrowford, said: "I think it's too late to save Nelson town centre now. It's gone."
Owner of The Pet Store in Market Square Les Brown said: "Mary Portas is better than nothing, Nelson has been through bad times. We've got to try and do whatever is needed to revive it."
Ahmed Niser of Impressions Hair Salon on the square was more optimistic: "It's the right thing to do at the right time."
John Rayson, who runs Appetite delicatessen and takeaway opposite the Ace Centre where Miss Portas started and finished her tour said: "I think her initiative is a good thing but she has got a challenge to revive the town's shopping area."

1) sensational self-publicist
2) very good window dresser and merchandiser
3) weak retailer
also ms portas - you don't have to go to bradford or manchester for a decent curry. i originate from darwen (but live in pendle) and the place is full of good asian restaurants and i am sure the likes of usha's in burnley would choose to disagree.
and ms portas, regards your comments on nelson "its beautiful, its gorgeous" - i think even nelson's staunchest advocate would not describe nelson as either beautiful or gorgeous
finally the self-appointed "queen of shops" is a bit of a misnomer - i am sure the likes of kate swann would disagree. and the other name which is banded around is "retail guru" - really? what grounds for this title?

BMW X5 4.4 - NO Heat !
Need assistance in an attempt to determine why I have no heat. Here is what I know thus far:
1) Thermostat is operational as my temperature gauge functions.
2) Climate Control Module functioning and was replaced less than two years ago under certification. I am able to set temp, fan speed and direct air flow but it only blows cool air. A/C is operational.
3) Water pump has been replaced. Drive belt just replaced last week.
I did check into the Final Stage Resistor (FSR) through this forum and learned that if the A/C is operational the FSR may not be the issue.
I would appreciate any advice.
Thank you~

While the DWI arrest of St. Louis Rams defensive end Robert Quinn happened nearly two weeks ago, the news is just now being reported on. Shortly after the news was made public, the team released a statement addressing the issue.
Here is the official statement released by the Rams on Thursday:
"The Rams and the NFL office are aware of the situation regarding Robert Quinn. We take such matters very seriously, and we will act accordingly once the legal process plays out."
Quinn immediately posted bond following his arrest on July 10 and was released, but is being charged with DWI and two other traffic violations. After the legal proceedings are finished, he could face additional punishment from the Rams. If the delay between his arrest and the reporting of the arrest is the result of any sort of attempt to keep the incident under wraps by Quinn, the Rams will likely not look too favorably on that.
For all news and information on the St. Louis Rams, check out Turf Show Times or stop by SB Nation St. Louis.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

A novel approach to simulate gene-environment interactions in complex diseases
Amato, R. (Roberto), Pinelli, Michele, D'Andrea, Daniel, Miele, Gennaro, Nicodemi, Mario, Raiconi, Giancarlo and Cocozza, Sergio. (2010) A novel approach to simulate gene-environment interactions in complex diseases. BMC Bioinformatics, Vol.11 (Article 8). ISSN 1471-2105

Background: Complex diseases are multifactorial traits caused by both genetic and environmental factors. They represent the major part of human diseases and include those with largest prevalence and mortality (cancer, heart disease, obesity, etc.). Despite a large amount of information that has been collected about both genetic and environmental risk factors, there are few examples of studies on their interactions in epidemiological literature. One reason can be the incomplete knowledge of the power of statistical methods designed to search for risk factors and their interactions in these data sets. An improvement in this direction would lead to a better understanding and description of gene-environment interactions. To this aim, a possible strategy is to challenge the different statistical methods against data sets where the underlying phenomenon is completely known and fully controllable, for example simulated ones. Results: We present a mathematical approach that models gene-environment interactions. By this method it is possible to generate simulated populations having gene-environment interactions of any form, involving any number of genetic and environmental factors and also allowing non-linear interactions as epistasis. In particular, we implemented a simple version of this model in a Gene-Environment iNteraction Simulator (GENS), a tool designed to simulate case-control data sets where a one gene-one environment interaction influences the disease risk. The main aim has been to allow the input of population characteristics by using standard epidemiological measures and to implement constraints to make the simulator behaviour biologically meaningful. Conclusions: By the multi-logistic model implemented in GENS it is possible to simulate case-control samples of complex disease where gene-environment interactions influence the disease risk. The user has full control of the main characteristics of the simulated population and a Monte Carlo process allows random variability. A knowledge-based approach reduces the complexity of the mathematical model by using reasonable biological constraints and makes the simulation more understandable in biological terms. Simulated data sets can be used for the assessment of novel statistical methods or for the evaluation of the statistical power when designing a study.

do you tip for take-out food?

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to handle this situation or not, but what I've started doing is writing "Take Away" on the tip line rather than a dollar amount since I don't think a tip is required for a take away purchase. I'd love to hear other responses as well. Thanks for posting this question.
on Sep 17, 2007 at 8:03 am
These young people are working for minimum wages, usually, and tips are important to them. Tips are 'not required' techncially any place, but their wages are taxed on the amount of sales and presumed tips. The work is hard, really hard.

The taught modules offered on the LLM programme vary from year to year. Please check the full list of taught modules list for details of modules running in specific academic years. We make every effort to ensure that every module will be offered, but modules are subject to change and cancellation. You are therefore advised to check this site regularly for further updates throughout the year preceding entry to the LLM programme.
This module will give the students a comparative overview of the legal protection of human rights in some of the leading jurisdictions in the world, and the influence on these jurisdictions of international human rights instruments. Students will be introduced to the main issues relating to the protecting of human rights, including the role of the courts, the constitutional status of human rights provisions, and the ways in which first, second and right generation rights are protected.
The module will enable students to apply the comparative method to the study of human rights law in a range of different jurisdictions, and to draw out general principles and lessons of general application from the material. This is not an international human rights module, although reference will be made to the ECHR and UN mechanisms as appropriate.
Background Reading (optional):
C. Harvey, 'Talking About Human Rights' (2004) EHRLR 500
Chris McCrudden, "A Common Law of Human Rights?" (2000) Oxford Journal of Legal Studies 499;
The essays in (2003) 1(2) International Journal of Constitutional Law.
Module reading lists and other module materials will be provided via online module pages, once students have made their module selections upon enrolment in September.
The application process for the 2014-15 academic session, for entry in September 2014, is now closed.
Information regarding applications for September 2015 will be updated on the website in September 2014.
The Home Office issued an update about the acceptance of ETS tests (including TOEFL). They have now confirmed that Higher Education students applying for a Tier 4 visa may use a TOEFL test taken after 17 April, if a Higher Education Institution is willing to use its academic discretion. For those students entering in September 2014, UCL will continue to accept the TOEFL even if it was taken after 17 April. However, if an applicant still needs to book a test then we recommend that they take an alternative test to TOEFL. Those who have already arranged to take a different test following the previous advice from the Home Office, we encourage you to go ahead with taking the alternative test.
The TOEFL test will continue to be accepted for 2014 entrants who have been asked to take an English language qualification as part of their offer condition, and do not need to apply for a visa to study in the UK.


text: This is undoubtedly a difficult question, and perhaps one that is unfair. Comparing the talents of current and future Hall of Famers who played in different eras is like a conundrum that no logic, math equation, or science formula could solve. This doesn't mean, however, that critics and fans alike are not at liberty to render their opinions. After all, comparing superstars of any sport, let alone basketball, provides good fodder for discussion. This, in turn, brings me to the topic of discussion: Just who is the greatest Laker of all-time? Feel free to debate via the comments and/or place your vote in the poll.

A collection of scores on the Byte Unix Benchmarks show that Linux turns in numbers comparing very well to commercial Unix boxes costing tens of thousands of dollars.
Recently, MSNBC did some tests of Linux performance versus Windows NT. To quote: "According to ZDLabs' results, each of the commercial Linux releases ate NT's lunch." See the full article here.
My own experience has shown that, for my own programs, on my own (admittedly somewhat obsolete) hardware, Linux is at least 15% faster than Windows 3.11, even when I optimize them for the respective platforms.

BREAKING NEWS! Ginobili, Spurs Close On 3-Year Extension.
You heard it here first, folks. I'm not too sure about this one because I got it from some sources at Spurstalk. In a post including many LOL's, 45 different GIF signatures, some pictures of chicks in bikinis and a wall of text argument, SpursTalk member TheBest4EvaDuncanManuGonnaKickAss4Eva said the Spurs FO and Manu were about to close a 40 million dollar, 3 year extension for the Argentine. I'll try to report more on this as it comes down the wire.I've asked some questions regarding the terms of the deal and so far I've receives about 10 " Go fuck yourself if you think the Spurs are not gonna win the chip" responses.

Florida Governor Rick Scott on Friday signed a death warrant for a 59-year-old Bay area man convicted in the 1980 murder of a Palm Harbor girl.
Larry Eugene Mann is scheduled to die by lethal injection on April 10th at 6 p.m. at the Florida State Prison in Starke.
On November 4, 1980 10-year-old Elisa Nelson vanished while on her way to school. Her bicycle was found later that day in a ditch about a mile from the school.
The next day the little girl's body was discovered in an orange grove. Investigators say Mann abducted Elisa and bludgeoned her to death. He was arrested four days after her remains were found.
In 1981 Mann was convicted on first-degree murder and kidnapping charges and was sentenced to death. Investigators say he has never denied killing Elisa.
A key piece of evidence in Mann's trial was a note written by the little girl's mother. It was found in the suspect's pick-up truck by his wife.

2 Tone Quartz - Special Edition for Asian Airline staff
Finish on the Bezel is brushed and the
Screws are real!
Another suprise to me was to see that the screws on the bezel were actual screws. They have no function except for graphically hinting a port hole (as on Hublot MDMs) but are real screws. The robot (or watch factory worker) even made an attempt to keep the screw slots in a general vertical direction.
The photo is one of those lucky shots. I just filled a 16 MB with 16 quick shots and then selected 12 shots. Many times the "digital waste" has been a lot higher. The angle and light bring out that interesting finish. It is brushed, yet pretty glossy matching the polished gold-plated parts well.

A 48-year-old man wanted for murder in New Mexico was arrested by U.S. Marshals near 28th Drive and Cactus Road on Thursday. U.S. Marshal David Gonzales says Johnny Juan Barela was involved with the brutal murder of 45-year-old Gregory Alonzo, who died on March 18 after he was fatally stabbed in Roswell, New Mexico. A warrant was issued for Barela's arrest on March 19 day, but U.S. Marshals in New Mexico believed he may have fled to Phoenix to hide with his girlfriend.Phoenix U.S. Marshals used information from their New Mexico counterparts to find an apartment complex where they suspected Barela was hiding. Gonzalez says officers found Barela at the complex and took him into custody. Barela was booked into jail and is awaiting to be extradited back to New Mexico. He faces charges for homicide, bribery and intimidation of a witness.

Marriage, Money and Murder: Steven and Celeste Beard
The Sunday Service
The first months of marriage did not work out to Beard's satisfaction, perhaps due to Celeste's reticence to wield the sex needle.
Beard got so desperate that he filed for divorce just four months after the wedding. He withdrew the petition after the couple came up with what Celeste later called "the oral sex solution." Sunday mornings at the Beard mini-mansion were reserved just for that.
"I gotta go make some money," she would tell her daughtersand anyone else within earshotas she plodded dourly toward her husband's den for his weekly sexual service.
She made certain there were no distractionspets locked up, doors secured, phones disconnectedbecause she wanted Steven to reach his happy ending as quickly as possible, according to an account in Suzy Spencer's book "The Fortune Hunter." She loathed having to stop and begin again once she got started.
Once they worked out this sexual kink in the relationship, money became their primary source of conflict.
The $500,000 of the prenuptial agreement was a contentious issue for Celeste, and one day Beard decided to simply give her the money and get it over with. He may have reasoned she would spend less of his money if she had some of her own.
He was wrong.
The half-million was gone in six months.
After that spending binge, Celeste became increasingly vocal about her distaste for her older, overweight husband.
