The Jets have been under criticism all season. It seems that gang-green has become America's punchline. Every single action the Jets make is subject to criticism and negative reception. Other story lines have stayed in their home base media markets. Let's face it... New York is the "mecca" of sports and media. The Big Apple calls for big attention.
Take a look around the league. Other teams are worse off than the Jets. Many teams are in similar situations such as the Jets. AFC East rival Buffalo is stuck with mediocre quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick signed a six-year $59 million contract, with a $10 million signing bonus. All this was because of a fairly strong start to 2011. Fitzpatrick finished 2011 with 23 interceptions and 24 touchdowns. Fitzpatrick currently has 13 interceptions and 21 touchdowns, on a Bills team that hasn't lived up to pre-season hopes.
In 2011 Sanchez had 26 touchdown passes and 18 interceptions. Sanchez signed a contract extension that guaranteed a little over $20 million dollars. Sanchez did earn his contract in a sense... he took the Jets to two AFC championship games. What did Fitzpatrick do? Sanchez also has 13 interceptions this season paired with 12 touchdowns (11 fumbles also). He has been atrocious at times, but other teams are also facing quarterback catastrophes (Arizona.... Thanks Ryan Lindley for winning a game for the Jets).
Mark Sanchez is a New York quarterback. With that comes high expectations and extreme criticism. The quarterback position is already one that warrants criticism, however playing in New York magnifies it times 10. Sure the majority of his play is inexcusable, but it becomes a national issue because of where he plays.
Many teams have not played to their potential. Everybody jumped on the Lions bandwagon last year, claiming that they would be the favorite in the NFC North for years to come. They were a team on the brink. This season the Lions find themselves at 4-9. Their coach has been lackluster and boneheaded at times (like Rex Ryan). Schwartz lacks control over his players. Little national attention has been brought upon the Lions collapse. Maybe last year was a wonder year and the Lions are the same Lions, but outside of the Detroit media market little is said about the struggles of the Lions. Stafford has thrown for over 4,000 yards, but he also has 12 picks and only 17 touchdowns.
The Jets are 6-7, with a chance (slight chance) to make the playoffs. Many teams wish they were in this situation. The Jets shouldn't be complacent with 6-7, nor should any team, but they could be worse off. The chances to win out the next three games are high, however the Jets are still under fire from all media outlets due to their performance against weaker opponents.
It is easy to pass judgements about Sanchez's play, but no one can question his toughness...both mentally and physically. Simply put, Sanchez is a beaten man. Outside of coach support and some players, Sanchez is despised by many. The media is constantly portraying him in mocking cartoons (e.g. Clown picture in NY POST). He is a viral joke for his "butt fumble". The man dates Eva Longoria and even gets disrespected and questioned for that. It is fair to judge play, but every aspect of Sanchez is under scrutiny. Sanchez has handled the negative cries with grace, but some things he says tend to back fire. For instance, after beating the Jaguars Sanchez claimed the Jets were "catching fire". Let's get real Mark. The statements are made open for national jokesters to pick at.
Tim Tebow has created a frenzy. The man is genuinely a good person, but even that is mocked by New York media. ESPN has full out hours dedicated to the man making him even more polarizing. Stephen A. Smith mocked Tebow for saying how "excited" he is to be a Jet. Tebow is a normal person. He has emotions, but he does what is best for the team. His scenario is not the best, but he deals with it. Just because he isn't doing any miracle plays, doesn't mean he isn't worthy. New York media digs for something to get the good guy. Journalists found players (which has been questioned by players like Greg McElroy) to rip on Tebow anonymously. It is foolish to take a jab at a guy who has little impact because he rarely sees the field.
An influx of judgements and stories will flood sports media outlets throughout the week questioning the re-signing of Braylon Edwards. The Jets claimed Edwards off waivers from the Seahawks. Edwards had a solid career with the Jets. In 2010 he had 904 yards and 7 touchdown catches. He has chemistry with Sanchez. Earlier in the month, Edwards gained notoriety for tweets defending Sanchez and calling the Jets "idiots" (he recently apologized). Many will question the Jets integrity and low blow them for this move. It should be looked at in one way... the receiving core is decimated. This is a low risk move.
Fans have the right to be upset by poor play. Their judgements are fair and just for the most part. It is hard to be in a city with two teams. One is glorified, the other is a punch-line often referred to as "Little Brother". With the Giants recent success, anything short of a Super Bowl is not worthy by New York standards for the Jets. Jets fans deserve a lot, but also set expectations high. It's a rivalry to try to best the Giants, but there needs to be a balance where the teams can live in harmony. With media constantly covering both teams, harmony probably will never be reached. The Jets don't want to be the Giants (maybe take some Super Bowl wins), but constantly are compared to them. The systems are different.
It's a tough city to play in, but someone's gotta do it. New York is the hub of culture....be it sports, music, or art. With low brow media sources (New York Post) and high brow sources like The New York Times, people are bound to get different opinions. Some are educational and valid, while others are attention grabbers. A domino effect is created and the news topples down domino by domino, state by state until the whole nation is aware of what is going on in the city that never sleeps. The Jets miscues have been well documented, but across the nation other teams face similar issues. Unfortunately for gang-green they're the NEW YORK Jets, not the Winnipeg Jets.

Having read through the thousands of comments regarding Sark leaving and Petersen coming, it seems there's a lot of confusion regarding the buyout clauses in contracts of the UW coaches. Here's a summary of my understanding of the buyout requirements for UW coaches.
- Steve Sarkisian - His buyout clause was $1.5M. Because he left to coach elsewhere, as opposed to just quitting and changing careers, his buyout is due in thirty days.
- Justin Wilcox - His contract runs through Dec 31, 2014. His buyout is $1M if he takes any job with a PAC-12 team other than a head coaching job. So it appears that if he leaves the PAC-12 to coach in any position he has no buyout.
- Tosh Lupoi - His contract runs through Feb 6, 2015. His buyout amounts to the "calculated amount of guaranteed pay pledged to him" for the remainder of his contract. This buyout applies if he takes a job with a PAC-12 team, other than HC or DC. Like Wilcox, it appears he could leave the PAC-12 for any job and not have a buyout.
- Eric Kiesau - His contract runs through Dec 31, 2014, and his buyout amount is $500K. Like Wilcox and Lupoi, it only applies if he leaves for another PAC-12 school, unless it's a HC position.
- Johnny Nansen - His buyout was $33,750.
- Neither Heyward or Sirmon had buyout clauses. According to source (1), because Sirmon left his contract early, UW is not responsible for the $75K buyout he owed Tennessee. I don't know if that means it's been paid already and he must pay back the UW, or if it was scheduled to be paid when he completed his conract, or something else. I'd love to know if Sirmon (hence USC) is on the hook to Tennessee for any amount.
Additionally, all contracts state that coaches who leave early could lose their bonuses for any upcoming bowl game. That's $150K for Sark and $5K for the assistants.
One last thing. For colleges who lure a coach away and agree to pay that buyout, the cost is much higher than the stated buyout amount. Buyouts are considered earned income for the coach for whom the buyout was paid (although there are some that argue it should be treated as a business expense). Therefore, in order to have the coach avoid paying the income tax on that money, the school pays it as well. For example, the income tax rate on income over $400K is 39.6%. Wilcox's buyout is $1M. In order for Wilcox to avoid paying the tax from his own pocket if he left for USC, they would have to pay $1,655,629.14. This is the amount that leaves $1M, after taxes, to pay the UW for WIlcox's buyout. If they simply paid $1M to the UW, Wilcox would be on the hook for $396K in income taxes. Some schools give their coaches a loan to pay off the buyout, and then forgive a certain amount each year of employment. However, loan forgiveness is also considered earned income, and income tax must be paid on that as well. I'm sure that all schools, and coaches, have very smart tax attorneys that help them minimize their taxes, but it's something that has to be considered in structuring how the buyout is paid.

Hey everyone, If you like History (and I'm capitalizing History because History is awesome), the National History Day program is getting underway for this year. If you're in Orange County, it is going to be held this Saturday at the Orange County Department of Education from 7:30 to 3:30.
If you're wondering what the NHD program is, students compete in age groups ranging from elementary (K-6), junior (6-8) and senior levels (9-12) in categories ranging from Historical documentaries, Historical websites, Historical posters, and other numerous categories.
If you're interested in being a judge, please come on Sat, and I'm sure a place will be found for you. This is the best and brightest of the OC competing using Historical analysis, which is sorely missing in everyday discourse.

Thank you to those who tested SilverStripe 2.3.1rc1! You identified a few easy-to-fix bugs that we felt were important to solve before issuing the final release of SilverStripe 2.3.1.
We're keen to have developers download silverstripe-2.3.1rc2.tar.gz and confirm that it's a good release. If no problems are found we'll mark it as stable this week!
In particular, as described in our 2.3.1rc1 blog post we're keen to test the mod_rewrite work-around that helps support IIS 5.1/6.0 (without URL Rewrite), and Apache (without mod_rewrite.)
works fine so far :)
still waiting for the multilingual option though.

She was just a kid. That much was obvious despite the makeup and skimpy outfit she wore as she walked uneasily on the shadowy end of Fremont Street where it hooks up with Charleston Boulevard.
A veteran Metro patrol officer stopped the girl and began a field interview. He must have been shocked at just how young she looked. Although she was 13 years old on that day last May, she seemed even more childlike.
The cop did his job. His questions generated nervous lies from the girl and gave him enough to take her into custody. Not long afterward, she met Metro Vice Detective Rich Leung, who casually but methodically elicited information.
"She said she started at age 12, but she looks like she's 8," Leung said. "When we took over the case, I started building a much-needed rapport. We talked for several hours, not about the case, but more about life in general, and she finally started giving more information about the case. She didn't really know a whole lot about where she was."
After receiving permission to review her cellphone information, the case began to come together. The suspects were partially identified.
In a few hours, Leung had her story and a lead that took him to the Gateway Motel where he found two young men known to the kid as "Reno" and "Seag."
About that same time, a worried mother from the Oakland area contacted Metro to say she believed her daughter, 16, had been transported to Las Vegas for the purposes of prostitution by two young men. The teen's availability in Las Vegas had been advertised on myredbook.com. The mother didn't know their full names, only that they went by the nicknames Reno and Seag.
"It was the same names that we received from the 13-year-old," Leung said. "We started putting two and two together."
The result was the rescue of two teenage girls and the arrest of aspiring Hayward, Calif., pimps Ray Darnell Webb and Seagram Joshua Miller. Webb and Miller were recently convicted of sex-trafficking-related charges as part of the joint child exploitation task force efforts of Metro Vice and the U.S. Attorney's office. They are scheduled to be sentenced April 29 in U.S. District Judge Kent Dawson's courtroom. Each faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Although the story of the 13-year-old prostitute is dramatic on its face, it is anything but unique. Fact is, most girls who wind up in prostitution are turned out during their vulnerable early teens.
Metro Vice not only regularly encounters young girls being pushed by pimps on the street and in local casino resorts, but since the first of the year Lt. Karen Hughes' unit has seen a 38 percent increase in teenage prostitution activity. While some of the growth could be due to more girls on the street, the veteran vice supervisor believes the larger number also is due to improved education and identification by Metro officers and hotel security personnel.
And that's a good thing. The more time that passes, the harder it is to extract the girls from the street life. Last year, Metro logged 148 sex trafficking cases.
"By the time we get involved — we meaning law enforcement — it's often too late," Hughes said. "It's got to be caught on the front end."
That's one reason Hughes and various law enforcement and social service partners are so focused on increasing awareness of the issue. Spotting signs of trouble can save a life. The recent comprehensive airing of the documentary "Trafficked No More" was an attempt to rapidly raise awareness.
"There's always going to be vice enforcement guys going around, but a lot of help we're receiving comes from citizens, parents, people in the medical field like nurses, teachers, nongovernmental advocates we work closely with," Leung said.
Starting an informed conversation about teen sex trafficking is a sensitive issue, they admitted, but it's essential to making a difference.
Hughes observed: "We have to get the dialogue started at the age group where this is most impacting, and that is the kids. … When people start talking about the issue, solutions start coming out of that."
It's always a good day when Metro pulls teenagers off the street, but the trouble is the detectives can't save everyone.
Hughes said, "The best answer ultimately, for me, is prevention."

« Is She Driving You Crazy? | Main | When Women Lead Like Women »September 9, 2008
Redeeming Women
Earlier this year, I underlined this passage out of Jonalyn Grace Fincher's book, Ruby Slippers: How the Soul of a Woman Brings Her Home:
"We say we want Christ to come in and make us new all the way to the center of our souls, but we really don't let him change this weight on women. We just settle for the feeling that this is our lot in life, hoping for better, but expecting the never-ending struggle with our identity and place as women" (page 180).
After rereading it, I added "really?" in the margin. It might have ended there, if Jonalyn wasn't one of our Gifted For Leadership contributors. But since I kept wondering what this meant for women in leadership, I emailed her. Her answers to my questions follow:
Caryn: You make an interesting point, and in many ways I agree. But as I kept thinking about this, I wondered what you were really saying here. Do you really think we WANT this struggle, this fight?
Jonalyn: That's a great question mainly because of the tension between the two hyped-up responses, "let go and let God" and "take up your cross and follow Jesus." Can I point out that the first one isn't in Scripture? Sure God says to "be still and know I am God" but this means we recognize his power, not abdicate our wills or desires for the sake of letting him operate without us.
God loves strong-willed women. He wants us strong enough to take up our cross and follow. He also wants us to work out our salvation with him alongside. He wants to be present in the new life in us, but this doesn't mean we surrender our capacities to be fully human. In fact, I'm not certain the idea of surrender is even biblical or taught by Jesus. He wants our submission, not our surrender. These are such different concepts.
Caryn: Go on?.
I see submission without surrender in the way Jacob wrestled with God, in the way Ruth sought out Boaz, in the way Anna waited for the Messiah in the temple. The mess and strain of wrestling with God is key to being a godly woman. I think too many women have given up wrestling; they've given up their wills and they think it is somehow God-honoring.
The identity most Christian women live with is that they just have to deal with the Genesis judgment: the pain in childbirth, the pain of having their husbands rule over them, the pain of wanting more from your man than he can give. We feel this is our bitter pill. Jesus becomes the savior that helps us swallow our bitter pill, but he cannot save us from the pill.
I don't think that's what redemption means. I also don't think Jesus came to give us some cheerleading while we live on this cursed earth. What I'm suggesting is that Jesus wants to take the pill away altogether.
Accepting the curses of Genesis is not the cross Jesus asks women to bear. We do have a cross to bear, but it's not this one.
Caryn: We certainly don't hear this very often.
Jonalyn: Jesus has more power than we give him credit. I wish women dove deeper into experiencing his new life. If we let Jesus save us from hell, why wouldn't we expect him to remake our womanhood as well? Jesus can make tremendous change in our souls now, he can redeem our fallen ideas of femininity, gender relations, womanhood. He can restore our broken relationships, our desires, our fear or pain of having and rearing children.
In the Gospels, Jesus guides us to see the new life he gives to women when he entrusts his resurrection to a female witness, Mary Magdalene, or when he encourages Mary of Bethany to learn with his disciples. Jesus has a transforming effect on women. He can work and restore women's desires as we were once created to be.
The doctrine that Jesus wants to restore us to the goodness that once existed in Eden is not a new idea, but it has been cloaked or forgotten for a long time. The Christmas hymn, "Joy to the World" hints at Jesus' curse-reversing power, "He comes to make his blessings flow / far as the curse is found."
In the 17th century, George Fox, founder of the Quakers, penned these words, "For Man and Woman were help meets in the Image of God, and in Righteousness and Holiness, in the Dominion before they fell; but after the Fall, in the Transgression, the Man was to rule over his Wife; but in the Restoration by Christ, into the Image of God, and his Righteousness .?.?. they are help meets, Man and Woman, as they were before the Fall" (italics mine).
We could live as restored women.
I like to think of redemption as a fresh pool of water. Jesus invites us to jump in and be refreshed and renewed. He wants to cover us completely with new desires, trust instead of fear, gender reconciliation instead of gender strife. But some of us hold out, we tell him the water is for heavenly times, not for now. Jesus is treading water, waiting patiently. Ruby Slippers is my story of what happened when I decided to dive in.
I am still trying to digest the comment about submission but not surrender. I have always thought that surrender to God's will is the right thing to do, and is made possible because of His love and wisdom (Rom 11:33-12:3). This in contrast to Islam, which demands surrender (that is what "islam" means), not to a loving God but to a tyrant. But I do like the idea of strong women, filled with the Holy Spirit and power, moving out to change the world around them as well as across the globe. That is a plan of redemption I can get excited about.
Caryn, now I have to read the book. I love this. I probably would beg semantics on surrender and submission--as one who tends to want my way, surrendering it to God has been key. But strong women for sure! I am always challenging women to believe God for MORE! I grow weary of women settling for the constraints of the curse. Jesus has provided a NEW life of freedom! This is what I talk about all the time!
interesting making that distinction between the 2 words.I have a question re:strong-willed women, because as a pastor's wife we have always had problems with these types!Or am I confusing strong-willed with choleric temperament not under control of the Holy Spirit?And the scripture in 1Peter I believe, that speaks of a quiet and gentle spirit being pleasing to the Lord?
I know God wants to bless us by replying to our desires ...but alway according to His will..,and I'm learning to give (surrender?submit?)my talents and dreams and above all my character to Him so He can use them for His glory in His time and wisdom.Would you please comment?
I thought I'd pop in to clarify the surrender/submission distinction. I see surrender as giving up your will entirely, distancing yourself from even knowing what your own desires/strengths/passions are. I don't think God wants that.
But I do think God wants our submission, which is our understanding that some times our way isn't his way. But I think he loves us to know what our way is. He delights in our self-knowledge. As Thomas Merton put it, God wants to bring us into reality about ourselves and him.
The process of submission helps us grow in self-knowledge, self-possession and God-knowledge as well. The process of surrender can tend to dull us to who we actually are, by abnegating our unique souls.
Judy D, I hope you pick up Ruby Slippers and yes, perhaps it is a semantics distinction. Perhaps there is a better word than "surrender" to talk about what I mean?
BJ- as a choleric type, I agree that it's easy to confuse gentle and quiet spirit with, say, gentle and quiet mouth or vocal chords :). But I think you can express your points/opinions/goals without steamrolling brothers or sisters in Christ. All women (and men) must submit their whole selves to God, but this doesn't mean we stop there. We keep submitting, asking, pushing, wrestling him to understand. It's kind of like the way we wrestle to know and love the humans around us.
For instance, my husband wants me to care enough about him to push to understand him, to restate what I think he means, to share what I mean, again and again and again. I think this process is best described as mutual submission, not mutual surrender. The latter conjures up two white flags waving and a spirit of "giving up."
this is really interesting. need more on this topic! makes me want to shout, "yay, God!" i always thot surrender and submission were synonymous. especially when we are talking in regards to our will and God's, but maybe not? hmmmmm.....
I may be way off base here but I thought our goal was to be like the Virtuous woman(Proverbs 31)? Strong, community driven, good mothers, trusted/adored by our husbands, resourceful and financially viable. This whole idea about being submissive really oppresses women (IMO) because the Virtuous women illustrates a true example of someone who is trusted, intelligent and clearly knows her role with regards to her husband, God and her community. Also, having a deep commitment/reverence for God allows the Virtuous women to have the energy to fulfill all her responsibilities.
My response concerns submission and/or surrender to God and His will, which is not only biblical, but really smart. I love all that the Proverbs 31 woman is, but she, like any believer, is called on to recognize that God's ways are so above ours. Yet as we choose to place our wills into His hands, He does amazing things in and through the woman He has made us to be, with the gifts He has given us.
Just a quick comment on the 1Pet. passage. The meaning of "quiet" there is to have a settled, inner calm that comes from trusting God. The whole point of that passage is that women are to put their whole hope in God and not be frightened by "any fear". This is important when living with a husband disobedient to the word, or like Abraham who was not looking after his wife's best interests. The adornment part has to do with social class standing in ancient times; women aren't to be concerned about things like social position, etc. for our identity-- finding our security in husband, family and the expectations of what a woman is to be. The gentle and quiet spirit comes out of this trust and hope in God alone and is beautiful to Him. From that beginning place we can go anywhere He calls us and be anything He calls us to be...

Walkee Textee : see where you are going while texting on Windows Phone |
- Saijo George
- On March 27, 2013
Now there is an app for texting and walking, we all have done it and some have had horrible experiences from it. While there is no law against it in most parts of the world, it can certainly be dangerous in certain cases. Walkee Textee is a Windows Phone app that claims to provide a solution to this very problem. According to the developer you can use the app to walk and text without running in to anyone or anything. So how does the app do this ?
Walkee Textee solves this issue by using the camera to give a live feed to the screen, this way the user gets a view of what is in front of him or her. Now for this to work ideally it does require you to hold your phone up directly in front of you as you walk and type which is NOT how I normally use it. That said the idea behind the app is cool ( not original since the other major platform have had similar apps for a while now ) and is worth trying out to see if it fits your walk n text style.
When you launch the app the app loads up the camera and fetches a live feed from the camera on the phone. The display should throw up the feed in a few seconds and you will notice a small translucent area where you can type in your message. Now there is an effect selector that lets you add various text effect like artistic, geek, leet, mirror, etc. I did have some error message pop up while I was trying to change the text effects ( on a Lumia 920 ) , YMMV. You have the option to send this message as an SMS, email or you can post it to facebook or twitter. That is it a simple fancy little free app, certainly worth trying out at least for bragging to your mates.

The first act in the Duke lacrosse case were the allegations and the resultant hue and cry and calls for conviction.
The second act was the unraveling of the case and the disbarment of prosecutor and DA Mike Nifong, as well as a civil lawsuit against him that is still going forward in the state of North Carolina, slowly but unsurely.
The third act is this:
A few days ago, Ms. Mangum [the accuser in the Duke rape case] was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of her boyfriend who died from wounds she inflicted with a kitchen knife. That hasn't made too many headlines, but its is a sad, if ironically apt, coda to the whole sorry story…
The story of this tawdry melodrama at Duke deserved an entire book, and it got a very good one in Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case by KC Johnson, a professor of history at Brooklyn College, and the journalist Stuart Taylor. They show in horrifying detail how "many professors and, to a lesser extent, administrators at one of the nation's finest universities chose to grind their radical political axes at the expense of both their own students' well-being and the academy's traditional fidelity to due process."
Many of people suffered because of the Duke farce. But what of Professor Bakers and his preening, activist colleagues? What of the Group of 88? Only one member apologized. The rest issued a statement that categorically rejected all "public calls to the authors to retract the ad or apologize for it."
And who is this Professor Baker, still engaged in molding young minds in academia (he seems to have made a lateral move to Vanderbilt in the ensuing years)?:
During the 2006 Duke University lacrosse case, Baker (among other members of the so-called "Group of 88″) published an open letter calling for Duke to dismiss the team and its players. Baker wrote that "white, male, athletic privilege" was responsible for the alleged rape. Baker suggested that the Duke administration was "sweeping things under the rug." More generally, Baker's letter criticized colleges and universities for the "blind-eyeing of male athletes, veritably given license to rape, maraud, deploy hate speech, and feel proud of themselves in the bargain."
Duke Provost Peter Lange responded to Baker's letter a few days later, criticizing Baker for prejudging the team based on their race and gender, citing this as a classic tactic of racism. Lange maintained that a rush to judgment would do little to remedy the deeper problems and that open letters such as Baker's do little to further the cause of justice.
In 2007, charges against the players were dropped and the state's Attorney General took the extraordinary step of declaring the students innocent. Following the exoneration of the players, one of the parents of a Duke lacrosse player emailed Baker and reported that he responded by writing that she was "quite sadly, mother of a 'farm animal.'"

More people have been charged with allegedly trying to illegally take money from the BP Oil Spill recovery fund.
The U.S. Attorney's Office reports Jeremy Jamal Bell, 24; Anthony Keith Bivins, 42, both of Birmingham; and Cametrica L. Menifield, 31, of Bessemer, are charged with conspiring in 2011 to participate in a scheme to defraud the Gulf Coast Claims Facility.
Combined, the three defendants were paid about $138,881 from the BP oil spill claims funds.
All three defendants have signed plea agreements with the government expressing their intention to plead guilty to the charges.
British Petroleum, which owned the Macondo oil well where the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded, established the Gulf Coast Claims Facility (GCCF) in June 2010 for the purpose of administering and settling claims resulting from the oil spill disaster.
A subsidiary of BP established the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Trust Fund in August 2010 to pay certain types of claims and expenses from the oil spill, including claims settled through the GCCF.
Bell, Bivins and Menifield are each charged with independently agreeing to provide personal information, such as Social Security numbers and bank account information, to individuals who recruited them so that they could use the information to file fraudulent claims for lost wages with the GCCF.
After the fraudulent claims were paid to Bell, Bivins and Menifield, each of them allegedly returned part of the money to the individuals who recruited them to participate in the scheme, according to the informations and plea agreements.
The GCCF paid Bell $42,877 from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Trust Fund on Aug. 9, 2011, according to the court documents.
Later that month, Bell withdrew $42,402 from his account and gave it to the person who recruited him to participate in the scheme, according to the documents.
Bivins received about $61,987 in claim funds in October 2011.
On Oct. 29, 2011, according to his information and plea agreement, he cashed the claims check, used some of it to buy money orders and a prepaid $5,000 debit card, as directed, and turned it all over to a co-conspirator.
He was given $5,000 and the prepaid debit card in return.
Menifield received about $34,023 from the GCCF on July 21, 2011, according to her information and plea agreement.
On July 22, 2011, she gave about $24,000 to a co-defendant and kept about $10,000, according to the documents.

Breast Cancer Awareness
The best way to find breast cancer early is with a mammogram. If you are a woman age 50 years or older, be sure to have a screening mammogram every two years.
What are the symptoms of breast cancer?
When breast cancer starts out, it is too small to feel and does not cause signs and symptoms. As it grows, breast cancer can cause changes in how the breast looks or feels. Symptoms may include—
- New lump in the breast or underarm (armpit).
- Thickening or swelling of part of the breast.
- Irritation or dimpling of breast skin.
- Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area or the breast.
- Pulling in of the nipple or pain in the nipple area.
- Nipple discharge other than breast milk, including blood.
- Any change in the size or the shape of the breast.
- Pain in any area of the breast.
What is a mammogram?
A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. Doctors use a mammogram to look for early signs of breast cancer. Having mammograms regularly can lower your risk of dying from breast cancer. If you are 50 to 74 years old, be sure to have a screening mammogram every two years. If you are 40 to 49 years old, talk to your doctor about when and how often you should have a screening mammogram.
Why should I have a mammogram?
Regular mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, sometimes up to three years before it can be felt. When their breast cancer is found early, many women go on to live long and healthy lives.
Where can I go to get screened?
Most likely, you can get screened for breast cancer at a clinic, hospital, or doctor's office. If you want to be screened for breast cancer, call your doctor's office. They can help you schedule an appointment. Most health insurance companies pay for the cost of breast cancer screening tests.
Are you worried about the cost? CDC's National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) offers free or low-cost mammograms. Find out if you qualify.
How can I lower my risk of breast cancer?
- Control your weight and exercise.
- Know your family history of breast cancer. If you have a parent, sibling, son or daughter with breast cancer, ask your doctor about your risk of getting breast cancer and how you can lower your risk.
- Find out the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy.
- Limit the amount of alcohol you drink.
Can men get breast cancer?
Men can also get breast cancer, but it is not very common. For every 100 cases of breast cancer, less than 1 is in men.
How many people get breast cancer each year?
In 2010 (the most recent year numbers are available)—
- 206,966 women and 2,039 men in the United States were diagnosed with breast cancer.*†
- 40,996 women and 439 men in the United States died from breast cancer.*†
*Incidence counts cover about 97% of the U.S. population; death counts cover about 100% of the U.S. population. Use caution when comparing incidence and death counts.

April 24, 2006
Sumter County-- Housing and hope organization Habitat for Humanity International has decided to make a change. They're moving their administrative offices to Atlanta.
The organization's international headquarters has been a mainstay in South Georgia for three decades. How will this administrative move affect the Sumter County community?
Certain key individuals will be making the move to Atlanta, leaving close to 300 employees at the Americus location. Habitat says the move allows them to have the best of both worlds, continued growth along with keeping its historical tie here in South Georgia. But others feel that tie is beginning to be severed.
The city of Americus is known for it's small city feel with big history. Along with historic Victorian buildings, it's also the place where Habitat For Humanity began it's mission.
"Our mission is to eliminate poverty housing," says Habitat Senior VP of Communications Chris Clarke. That mission is carried out all over the world, changing poverty-stricken shanties like the ones displayed at Global Village into homes.
"We're trying to help people with a handup rather than a handout," says Clarke. Now, more than 200,000 homes later, the organization is spreading its wings from it's Americus location. They're placing a base of operations in Atlanta, something they say will allow them to grow.
"Along with trying to be more effective and more efficient with a location that would allow us access to transportation and a recruiting pool of employees," says Clarke.
Senior Vice President of Communications Chris Clarke says about 40 administrative employees will be moving to Atlanta within the next six months with more positions to be filled. "Over the next 12 to 18 months, we expect to have somewhere between 80 and 100 employees in Atlanta," says Clarke.
Operations will remain at the International Headquarters in Americus but some fear that any move will be detrimental to the roots the organization grew from.
"If you transplant a little shrub or a little tree, the chances of it surviving in a new place are quite good but if you transplant a full grown oak, there are good possibilities that it won't do well," says Millard Fuller.
Habitat founder and former president Millard Fuller feels the move is proof of a shift in values from a ministry to a corporate entity. "If you're thinking in terms of a ministry, Americus is where they're needed," says Fuller.
From his new world at the Fuller Center For Housing, he predicts the change is just the beginning of what will be a permanent move. "I think this is the nose under the tent and this is not going to work very well with the leaders being 140 miles away from the main workforce," says Fuller.
Habitat maintains that the International Headquarters will remain in Americus and will continue to be the largest of it's offices in the world. "We have a deep partnership with the city here in Americus, Georgia where we were founded and we have a long-term commitment to maintain a strong, strong presence here," says Clarke.
They say the move makes them a stronger Habitat so they can continue their mission from Americus to America and throughout the world.
They're also looking to consolidate other offices around the world in the future. With fewer offices, they say that's less overhead, which allows them to focus more on their mission.
They also say the economic impact will be very minimal in Americus with about 15 homes being put on the market from people who are moving. Clarke says most of those homes have been put on the market or sold.
The administrative move to Atlanta should be complete by the end of August.

By TEARSA SMITH Good Morning Tennessee Anchor/Reporter
PIKEVILLE (WATE) - Situated in both Van Buren and Bledsoe counties, Fall Creek Falls State Park is nestled where Middle Tennessee meets East Tennessee. Just a two-hour drive from Knoxville can offer you activities many state parks just don't offer.
Ronald Bragg would agree.
"I am not an outdoorsy person, but since I am in Tennessee I tried to be so," he said. "I am normally a 'let's hit the mall' person."
That didn't stop Bragg from meeting up with friends to enjoy the park.
"I thought it was really pretty and I noticed a lot of bees are out," he said, "but it's really pretty out here and I like it."
The park is 20-thousand acres of beautiful landscape.
"Fall Creek Falls is located on the Cumberland Plateau," explained park ranger Stewart Carroll. "One of the most beautiful areas in the country, areas with waterfalls, your canyons and really nice rock faces, and a lot of topography -- a lot of diversity in the landscape."
Carroll says the park is more than just a hike in the woods. There are opportunities to golf, golf, boat or just take in the sights like the breathtaking waterfalls.
It's an attraction worth the drive.
"Our visitation comes from all over the southeastern U.S.," said Carroll. "We get a lot of people from down in Alabama, the Huntsville area, down in that area. Of course, a lot of people from Knoxville come out because it's only 95 miles from Knoxville."
Barry Austin said he enjoys the park's beauty.
"I think we take it for granted sometimes because we kind of live in the woods or in rural setting, but it's definitely beautiful and second to none," he said.
If you're not into camping out, the Fall Creek Falls Inn is located in the park. All of the rooms have cable TV and bathrooms.
The inn also has a heated outdoor swimming pool and a game room for those not ready to fully rough it.

Right now there are four possible scenarios for CSKA, two selling ones, and two non-selling ones. I'm assuming some percentages so bear with me. Also assuming the final Milan offer is 3.5mm, the bonus for getting out of the group stage to be 3.5mm, and 1mm for each win in the group.
Scenario 1: Honda is sold, they qualify anyway (10%), with 5% chance to leave the group, 95% to get knocked out in group
Scenario 2: Honda is sold, they don't qualify (90%?)
Scenario 3: Honda not sold, they qualify (80%?), with 75% chance to leave the group, 25% to get knocked out in group
Scenario 4: Honda not sold, they don't qualify (20%?)
Furthermore I'll assume that they have a 5% chance of making it out of the group w/o Honda and 75% w/ Honda (of course that'll depend on the draw). To be conservative in this calculation, I'm assuming that if they don't make it out of the group, they get at least one win (against the group whipping boy) when they sell Honda and two when they don't, good for 1mm and 2mm respectively.
Also, there's a wage savings by selling Honda earlier of half a season (50% of 2mm Euro, or 1mm) in addition to our 3.5 million.
The expected value of selling Honda is 4.63mm and the expected value of not selling is 3.30mm after putting that into Excel.
And there is also the added bonus of having an extra half season to get Honda's eventual replacement in sync with the team as well as not having an unmotivated player who will be leaving soon guaranteed on the team.
Even if the expected values were the same---there's less risk selling Honda now, so in conclusion CSKA SHOULD SELL US HONDA!!

The Broncos are in command of the underwhelming AFC West after knocking off the Chargers in Week 11.
O-line play not helping Chargers' cause
The Chargers have not come close to hitting preseason expectations on the offensive side of the football, and the O-line play is a big reason.
A person with knowledge of the deal says the San Diego Chargers have agreed in principle to a four-year contract with kicker Nick Novak.||||||| Novak made 18 of 20 field goal attempts (90 percent) in 2012, the third-highest conversion rate in team history. He was signed on Sept. 29 after Nate Kaeding hurt his groin in practice two days before a game at Kansas City. Novak also kicked for San Diego in the final 15 games of 2011 after Kaeding was hurt on the season-opening kickoff.
Novak agreed Tuesday to a two-year contract with the San Diego Chargers to replace the injured Nate Kaeding.||||||| Novak, who was in training camp with the Chargers in 2010 and the New York Jets this season, has kicked in 22 NFL games, making 19 of 30 career field goal attempts (.633). He's played with Washington, Arizona and Kansas City.
The San Diego Chargers have signed kicker Nick Novak to a one-year contract.||||||| The move comes as Nate Kaeding rehabs a groin injury sustained in practice prior to the Pro Bowl. Kaeding missed three field goals in San Diego's 17-14 playoff loss to the New York Jets. Novak was out of football last year. He kicked for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2008. Before that, he played for the Washington Redskins and Arizona Cardinals in 2005-06.
Novak was released on Tuesday and replaced by Connor Barth, who was beaten out by Novak in August.||||||| Novak missed two field goals in last week's 34-10 loss to Tennessee.
The Redskins signed Novak on Tuesday after the former University of Maryland kicker won a four-way competition among available free agents. He'll handle the kicking duties in Sunday's game against Tennessee.||||||| Novak will replace John Hall, who was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Novak was 5-of-7 on field-goal attempts in five games in place of the injured Hall last season.

Marshall plans to draw inspiration from Prince Charles' favourite architecture for its 1,500-home development north of Newmarket Road.
Bosses at the family-run company have visited Poundbury, the traditionalist development built in Dorset by the Duchy of Cornwall, and "liked the look of it".
Now these values, focusing on sustainability, quality and use of local materials, as well as a conservative taste in design, could form the basis of the 125-acre 'Wing' development on the eastern edge of Cambridge.
The architectural organisation set up by the heir to the throne, the Prince's Foundation for the Building Community, was brought in to run a three-day design workshop involving planners and residents which ended last night with a public presentation.
A masterplan for the development – which will also have a primary school and a commercial hub – will now be drawn up.
The scheme covers land between Newmarket Road and High Ditch Road, surrounding the park and ride site and including Marshall's North Works, which could be relocated.
Terry Holloway, Marshall's group support executive, said the aim was to create something "really attractive".
He said: "We have looked at Poundbury and we liked the look of it.
"What we don't want to do is copy Poundbury, because that's specific to the West Country. We want to take the principles of how Poundbury was developed in order to create something for Cambridge which has a similar quality and style and is unique in its own way, which says 'this is Cambridge'."
Principles coming out of the three-day workshop include a commitment to use local brick, a desire to provide a mix of housing types, and pledges to provide good cycle and car parking.
Mr Holloway said: "We are a privately-owned family company, and the family is desperately keen to create a community which they can be proud of.
"This is in marked contrast to development companies who come from London, develop some houses, and then disappear. This is our land, we have stewardship over it, and we are enthusiastic about Cambridge and providing a high quality environment.
"If we were to build tatty, unpleasant housing, cheek to jowl with each other, looking awful, people wouldn't want to live there, and there would be no value attached to it."
A planning application could be submitted later this year, and construction could start in 2015.

Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Charles Rogers is back in jail.
The Saginaw native turned himself in Tuesday morning, just days after a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.
Rogers was due in court last week for a preliminary hearing. He's accused of threatening to kill his mother over a $100,000 loan.
He was originally due in court next week, but that date has been postponed. No bond has been set for the former Michigan State football standout.
The 31-year-old is charged with making a malicious phone call and conspiring to commit that crime on March 5-6, and possessing marijuana, possessing an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle and operating a motor vehicle on a suspended or revoked license in December.
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft was scheduled to attend a pre-trial hearing last Wednesday. The Saginaw News reports Rogers called court officials to tell them he didn't have transportation.
Saginaw County District Judge A.T. Frank gave Rogers until the end of the working day to appear. When Rogers didn't show, the judge issued a bench warrant.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - The South Dakota Transportation Department has started the planning process to replace the highway bridge over the Missouri River between Pierre and Fort Pierre.
The department is searching for an engineering consultant to determine the location and kind of structure that will eventually replace the current bridge. The study also will involve completing the environmental process required before a new bridge is designed.
The bridge construction project is expected to be completed sometime after 2020.
The bridge carries traffic on U.S. Highway 14, U.S. Highway 83 and state Highway 34.

CLEVELAND, OH - SEPTEMBER 02: Jurickson Profar #2 of the Texas Rangers celebrates after hitting a solo home run at his first MLB at bat during the third inning against the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field on September 2, 2012 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images)
With the World Baseball Classic approaching, and several Texas Rangers players declining invites, while several others have accepted theirs to play for their respective countries, one Ranger is still trying to decide if he'll play.
Jurickson Profar, the 19-year-old super prospect who homered in his first major-league at-bat and had a huge pinch-hit late in the Rangers' Wild Card Game loss to Baltimore, has said he's still unsure if he will play in the world tournament for Team Netherlands.
Profar, who was expected to start the season in Arlington, learned recently that he will start the year in Triple-A Round Rock after Ian Kinsler decided he didn't want to move to first base after all. Jon Daniels, the Rangers' GM, made the announcement recently. There's still a shot that Profar, if he plays well in spring training, could earn a utility role with the Rangers, but there's a logical argument for the fact that he'd be better served playing every day in Round Rock.
And it's because of his big-league future being a bit up in the air, at least for the short term, that Profar is wondering whether he should play in the tournament, which forces players to miss part of spring training.
"I'm still thinking about it ... maybe I've got a spot to make on the team," Profar told the Star-Telegram. "That's why I'm thinking about it to see where I'm at and what will happen."

Jersey Proof #5
I got a lot of excellent suggestions regarding the 2010 version of the Almanzo 100 jersey and this is what I've come up with so far. Let me know what you think.

I dig. Only thing I'd change on this is to make the 2010 on the sleeve look more klass, like the 09 patch shields. I love those.
Sign me up for one XL if they're race cut. L if they're club cut.
- December 9, 2009 at 4:08 PM
You KNOW I love it. You KNOW I want one! Size L if they are similar to last year's jersey fit.
- December 9, 2009 at 5:55 PM
Oops. Forgot to post my name!

Those look awesome. I love this race. Can't wait for the next one.

Overall I love it, but the typeface for "hundo" doesn't really do it for me. That said, I have no idea what I'd put in it's place so perhaps I should just shut up. ;-)

looks awesome....now I just have to get into the race!
- December 10, 2009 at 11:10 AM
Maybe something a little bolder on the hundo type.
- December 10, 2009 at 3:23 PM
- Dan S said...
Love it.
- December 12, 2009 at 5:39 AM
- Kid Riemer said...
Looks nice. You could also try:
-angling the hundo (similar to the back) but within the rectangle area
-look at letting some of the lettering be cut off by the rectangle top/bottom/sides
or any number of ideas...
Pretty sweet as is though.

A White Plains man faces a misdemeanor charge after police say he was caught with an unauthorized prescription pill.
Philip Quiroz, 22, of 5 George St., was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 7th degree, a misdemeanor.
According to police, Quiroz and another man were in a vehicle parked near the intersection of Sterling Ave. and Orchard Pkwy on Nov. 2. Police went to check on the vehicle and smelled marijuana, according to an arrest report.
The second man, a 22-year-old from White Plains, admitted the marijuana belonged to him, police say. That man was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation.
Police say they also found a prescription pill in the vehicle. Quiroz told police the pill belonged to him and that he did not have a prescription, according to an arrest report.
Quiroz was charged at police headquarters and later released on $100 bail.

I've been reading some stuff about retaining water after workouts. Is it actually true that muscles hold water after a workout?

At IMFL last year I went to the race weighing 143-144, I finished the race weighing 150+. I had to much salt ans to much water on the bike. When I finished I looked like the Michelin man.
I sweat a lot and have a very high sweat rate. I can easily lose 3-4 lbs on an hours run. (Without fluid replacement.) If you are gaiing weight duriing a workout, I'm assuming you are talking about running or biking or some other aerobic workout and not weight lifting or something, then you may be getting to much fluid.

I agree with Sheldon. I have the same problem and fought all last year with deydration. I started the salt tablets this year and have been much better.
I have a long workout Saturday, I think I'll do a pre/post weighing to see how things are going.

It's gotta be an individual thing. I've ran marathons, biked centuries and everything in between without having any kind of Michelin man effect.

I'm not having a problem, per se. I just notice that on the days after I run, sometimes I don't feel as light as I did the day before. I drink at least 64 oz every day and usually a lot more.

I don't know about weight because I never weigh myself before and after runs. However, anything I drink after a run goes straight through me.

Stephen Ireland's house was recently called "ridiculous" in a feature on Yahoo! Sports. The tour of his mansion includes this classic shot of him standing outside with his cars and his girlfriend Jessica. He's a somewhat controversial, pretended-his-grandmother-was-dead-to-get-out-of-a-game Irish footballer who now plays for Aston Villa in England.
I really didn't think his house was as over-the-top awful as the Yahoo! article made it sound–I mean, we've seen worse around here, right?–but then I got to his daughter's "Princess Room:"
I know little girls like pink, but this is insane. Stephen has no problem with pink, though. Have you seen his tricked-out Range Rover?
You can see the rest of the photos here and here. (Thanks to Nita for the links!)

A new technology helped reunite a man with the class ring that he lost 40 years ago.
Richard Hale thought he'd never see the ring again after losing it in the Georgia Tech area back in 1972.
Richard and his now-wife, Betty Anne, were going steady back then, and he'd asked her to wear it.
"I was scared I was going to lose it, so I gave it back to him and he loses it," Betty Anne Hale said.
"We were riding around with friends and for some reason, I tossed something out the window, and when I did, I thought, 'Oh no my ring is gone,'" said Richard Hale.
More than 40 years later, he got the surprise of a lifetime.
"I got a call from my brother who lives in Tennessee; he's a big Facebook fan," Richard said. "Somebody's found the ring."
Ellen Ramey, who now lives in Clayton, Ga., found the ring more than four decades ago. In a phone interview, Ramey said that she always hoped she would one day find the owner.
"My mother had a class ring," Ramey said. "I wore it to school and lost it and it just stayed in my mind that it was important that these people get their ring back."
Through Facebook, the two connected and now the ring is back on Richard's finger.
"My mother and daddy sacrificed to pay for it," said Richard.
This ring is also special because Hale was part of the last class to graduate from O'Keefe High School in Atlanta. The school was closed in 1974.
Richard's family says every day he comes home from work, he proudly puts it on his finger and looks at it.

Albany - Former Assistant City Manager Kevin Hogencamp is searching for a new Albany Mayor.
"I'm already trying to talk some of our best who might consider running for Mayor to run for Mayor," said Hogencamp."Hogencamp, now a consultant for the Concerned Taxpayers of Dougherty and Lee Counties, is urging voters to hold public officials accountable for bad decisions and illegal actions.
It's been four months since Kevin Hogencamp resigned as Assistant city Manager and sounded the horn that city leaders unfairly handed out raises to city employees. Since then, Hogencamp was hired by five Albany business leaders to help form the Concerned Taxpayers of Dougherty and Lee Counties.
First, the group fought a proposed tax raise for Albany.Now, Hogencamp says the group is looking for a good candidates to replace bad politicians. He says, personally, he wants to see Mayor Willie Adams gone.
He encouraged Exchange Club members to tell commissioners and community leaders they're opposed to Lee, Dougherty and Phoebe Putney holding illegal closed door meetings. He said voters must hold politicians accountable for bad decisions, such as knowingly buying contaminated property, cutting employee benefits and buying insurance when the city is self insured.
"The nuts and bolts of what we're about is to make sure that every one of your pennies is spent properly," said Hogencamp. "That can't happen if they're breaking open meetings and open records laws. Ultimately if government is open, we'll have a lower tax rate."
Hogencamp said the Concerned Taxpayers plans to become a lobbying group that will continue to tackle public leaders who illegally or unwisely spend taxpayers dollars. The group now has 50 members who had to pay at least $35 to join.

Djinn joins the J24 blog – Sound One Design Championship
Hi all, it's a pleasure to be a new blogger on this j24 blog. I'm the skipper/owner of Djinn and while I keep my own blog on Djinn's racing activities, it's private and mostly geared around scheduling and repairs. I'm excited to add my ramblings on here and hopefully it will help not only Djinn to get better but other boats that are starting out in this highly competitive Seattle fleet.
Peter asked me to start by contributing some observations about the Sound OD Championship on Oct 6/7, 2007 and since then I've traded some emails with other skippers about how we could have done better in this extremely heavy air regatta.
So, without further interruption, I'm going to include my initial race report below and then in subsequent posts for the next several days, I'm going to add some hits and tips I've gathered. The source of these tips asked me not share them with too many boats, but at the risk of never getting advice again, I'm going to throw discretion into the wind and post all of it in the coming days. After all, I don't think there's anything you read on a blog, read in a book, watch on YouTube or discuss over drinks at the CYC which is going to make you better at boat handling (with the exception of really learning and understanding the rules).
Here is my review of the regatta:
It was a great weekend, I was impressed with the performance of the top boats and how flat they were able to keep their boats. We certainly learned a ton.
Moving the mast butt forward, being properly adjusted on the shroud tension and bringing the Jib in as tight as possible, as well as moving the jib car back to induce some twist in jib seemed to help a lot, but we didn't make these adjustments until Sunday. We also put the vang on much tighter on Sunday by sitting on the boom, sheeting in hard and cranking on the vang, but it's clear to me I need more purchase on my vang, because it really wasn't on enough. Same thing with our outhaul which we couldn't get on hard enough either.
It blew like stink both days except for right before the last race on Sunday when it calmed down to about 14/15 knots and about a 1/3 of the fleet put up genoas. Then, it got up into the mid 20s during the race, with some stronger gusts, which was really something to witness.
On Saturday the race committee had a number of issues with the whalers and they were unable to start the racing for more than an hour and a half. We used some of the time running the course and trying to practice, but a whole lot of time was spent doing the gravy train around the start line and getting exhausted.
Congrats to Suspense and everyone who made it out!
Next I will post about some of the jib trim settings I was corrected on, as well more on all things heavy air, including the vang, the crew position, avoiding the accidental gybe, trimming the spinnaker downwind , the outhaul, shroud tension and tacking in big wind.
