"When it comes to the economy, I think it's also important that we keep in mind the debt, and the impact it has on growth," Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), Mitt Romney's top surrogate in the House of Representatives, said at a leadership press conference last month. "If you want to see the consequences of President Obama's record debt on this country, all you have to do is look at what is happening now in Greece, as well as the rest of Europe."
The administration for its part has dispatched a number of officials, including the Treasury Department's under-secretary for international affairs Lael Brainard, to press Germany to back off its calls for greater austerity and start pumping money into the economy.

Travel Union: 'Thomas Cook needs new products in 21st century'
Following the announcement by Peterborough-based holiday firm, Thomas Cook, that the company plans to axe 2,500 jobs, the TSSA travel union said it's 'shocked and angry' at the scale of job losses.
– Manuel Cortes, leader of the TSSA travel union
We are shocked and angry at the scale of the job losses at Thomas Cook which now seems to be engaged in a race to the bottom of the travel market.
The company needs new products if it is to come to terms with the age of the internet and prosper in the 21st century.

I got a Wii and Zelda for $420, with free overnight shipping. At the store it would have been 300 plus tax. I guess thats the price you have to pay for being impatient.
I got a Wii and Zelda for $420, with free overnight shipping. At the store it would have been 300 plus tax. I guess thats the price you have to pay for being impatient.
Yeah, but that's actually not that bad man. I mean, I waited 7 hours, overnight in the freezing cold to get mine and you spent roughly $80 over cost and got it shipped to your door. Honestly, that isn't bad at all.
Yeah, that's actually a good deal with shipping.
ehhh thats an OKAY deal. Shouldve bought a wii for 300 or so on ebay then bought the game by yourself. Cause down here all the games are in stock but we got no more wiis
There aren't many $300 Wii's on Ebay. That's pretty much what they paid for it after tax. No way you find a Wii for 300. You may find some as low as the 330 range + shipping, but that's about it.Originally Posted by Bulldogxx831
I got impatient as well. I ended up getting a Wii for $364 with shipping.
I haven't seen any go for less than $350. I think the price is on the rise again . . . now that EBay stock is being depleted.
I almost won an auction for the Wii and Zelda with free overnight shipping for $399.99, but I was outbid at the last second for $404.99.
I considered that a fairly sharp deal.
I may get this, it looks like a decent deal, especially after the large spike in price on Ebay lately.
eBay: Brand New Wii + Zelda + Wii Sports + FREE Extras! (item 250054298277 end time Nov-29-06 01:15:02 PST)
The 460 with the wii is a pretty hefty price to pay.

I know I have been pushing hard to get MCab (which I still like), and I apologize if someone else has already posted this idea (there has been so much activity on multiple threads that it is hard to keep track), but is there a plausible scenario to get Tejada and Bedard from the Orioles? Would we want to?
I admit to being ignorant of what the Orioles would want. Can someone more savvy put together a deal for us to discuss?

Cozy, comfortable, clean ... well, just about perfect!
We spent a week here. We have traveled lots and I don't think there has been a place that I felt more at home. The photos on your site are great, but it is even better in person. The property was spotless and every need was anticipated. The owner was a wonderful gentleman who added to the friendliness and charm of the rental. The center of Woodstock is an interesting mix of great restaurants and shops and all within walking distance of the The Nook. The surrounding area offers wonderful mountains, nature and even a very impressive Tibetan monastery to tour. Not to be missed is breakfast or lunch at Bread Alone in the center of town. We will definitely go here again and soon!
We really enjoyed this warm and welcoming house, quiet and very clean, with a great view on the mountains. It's perfectly situated at the heart of the village, a few steps away from great restaurants, shops and refreshing swimming holes. A fantastic place to have fun and to rest!
Just book it, you will not be disappointed. Everything is exactly as shown and described yet somehow better. The location is tranquil, peaceful and a short 15 minute no traffic drive from everything you need from groceries to quaint shops. Ruth is lovely, she is there should you need her and leaves you be in this wonderful you feel like you're all alone on this great property way. She gets it. For the first time using a homeaway rental I feel a seriously strong urge to look at long term rentals or perhaps even a purchase. This place is magical.

MN Senate Race: 11/12 Update
Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, by statute a member of the state canvassing board that will certify the official results of the Coleman-Franken US Senate race, will appoint the four other members of the board today. Here's more news.
Are the "found votes" suspicious?
This article explains part of the reason why Coleman has expressed suspicion of the votes that were found: 100 votes found in one precinct in Pine County all went to Franken, and 100 votes found in a precinct in Mountain Iron all went to Franken. Furthermore, overall the vote-checking has netted 435 votes for Franken while subtracting 69 for Coleman. This article suggests that Coleman's statements could be part of a political strategy to pressure elections workers to "bend over backwards" to give Coleman the benefit of the doubt when it comes to discerning voter intent. The Franken campaign, for its part, issued a press-release with historical data suggesting that these types of changes are not unusual (for additional evidence of this, see here).
Post-election audit suggests good news for Franken
An examination of 28 of the 202 precincts statewide that were randomly selected for the Minnesota's post-election audit showed that Franken picked up 6 votes, while Coleman lost one. If this pattern holds in the full recount of 4,130 precincts, Franken may come out ahead. The article also discusses a theory that Democrats generally increase their totals disproportionately in recounts because the voters who are more likely to vote for them tend to have difficulty voting, and their intent can often only be discerned by "eyeballing" their ballots (see also here).
"Lawyering up"
This article says that Coleman will procure about 120 lawyers to observe the recount. Franken is also assembling a team.
Will this election compare to Minnesota's gubernatorial election of 1962?
The original vote count in Minnesota gubernatorial election of 1962 put the Republican ahead by 142 votes, but the recount and associated litigation eventually put the Democrat into office. Read here for more details.

from Interview
I can understand why there's no HDMI cable in the PS3 box because it is still reasonably uncommon for TV owners, but why no component cable? One of your competitors managed to ship with a dual Composite/Component cable. It seems like a cheap omission given the quality of the rest of the package.
HDMI is growing interface and there's also component, S-video and composite all available. We thought that the consumers would choose. There's obviously a cost factor and we thought "Why build up the cost?"
lol. why add the bluray then?

Cook Tofu Recipes
Bean Curd Roll Recipe
I hope you all had a fun-filled New Year's Eve with your friends and families. What did you do to ring in the New Year? We had some family time at home. It may sound lame, but we watched "Murder on the Orient Express,"trying to solve Hercule Poirot's investigations (it's so much easier when you've seen the movie like a dozen times ) while enjoying all the baked goods the girls and I have been concocting all week.
2012 was an incredible year for me. I feel so blessed and lucky, watching my daughter grow into an adorable toddler. And then there's the publication of my first cookbook. I am so grateful for all the blessings that I have in my life. Thank you so much for your love and support. Here's to making 2013 as unforgettable as 2012!
Back to today's dish. The girls' resolution is to lose as much weight as I did last year when I was working off my baby weight. I'm helping them by cooking healthy, yet still flavorful meals. One such concoction is today's recipe: light red kidney bean patties wrapped in crispy bean curd. The filling is made of mashed kidney beans with panko breadcrumbs. The legume provides a sufficient amount of protein so the girls have enough energy throughout the day and the crispy outer layer provides a pleasant contrast of texture. For a healthy and complete meal, serve it with some brown rice and a dash of soy sauce. Enjoy!

Spicy Yuba Stir Fry Recipe
Yuba is called tàu hũ ky in Vietnamese and it's a fairly common ingredient in the Buddhist vegan diet. Most meals resemble and have the texture of meat, and yuba often plays the key role of meat substitute in the dish. I was surprised to discover that Costco now carries this product. Lulu sampled the yuba strips and liked them, so I brought home a package.
I used the ready-seasoned spicy yuba strips and made a stir fry of various vegetables such as sugar snap peans, cauliflower, onion wedges and cucumbers freshly picked from our garden.
My husband Lulu noticed that the Marketmore cucumbers he planted two months ago had started to produce. It's so pleasant getting new vegetables every day. I'll show you our beautiful bounty of beets, cucumbers and zucchini soon. Our tomato plants are already 5 feet tall but the fruit hasn't quite ripened yet. I love California!

Breaded Tofu: Tofu Parmesan Recipe
Tofu parmigiana is one of the many variations on meat dishes I make, so I'm able to share a similar meal with my husband Lulu, who is a vegetarian. The last time I prepared this dish was to celebrate our wedding anniversary with a romantic dinner. It was a perfect date-night menu: I had chicken and he had tofu.
For this version, I breaded firm tofu with Japanese bread crumbs (panko). First, I flavored the panko with dried oregano and garlic powder. Then, I pan-fried the panko-dredged tofu, layered it with a creamy tomato sauce and a few slices of fresh mozzarella cheese and topped it all with Parmesan cheese. The cheese finished melting in the oven, and with a garnish of sweet basil the dish was complete. I served it with a side of linguine pasta. I guarantee you this dish is as delicious as the meat version!

Green Jackfruit with Tofu
Mít & tàu hũ kho tương is a fairly common vegetarian dish in the Buddhist community. Mít ("jackfruit" in Vietnamese) is picked when it's still green. First, the young fruit is boiled to soften it. Then it's braised in soy sauce and used as a vegetable to accompany tofu. Like tofu, unseasoned green jackfruit is fairly bland but acts as a sponge and absorbs the flavors of the sauce.
The cooking procedure helps to give the jackfruit a soft texture that resembles the pork fat in thịt kho (braised meat), and the stringy texture of the jackfruit simulates the stringy texture of the meat. The result is quite pleasant and surprising. Next time you're in an Asian market, look for fresh young jackfruit; it's delicious!

Tofu Miso Soup
Tofu miso soup is very soothing. My little munchkin caught a bad cold and I thought the simple, clear broth would help with her congestion. To make the soup, I started by preparing a kombu dashi (Japanese stock) with fresh ginger. To make the traditional non-vegetarian version, just add shavings of bonito flakes, or dried and fermented tuna.
Once the stock was ready, I seasoned it with white miso paste. No salt is necessary as the miso paste is already well seasoned. Miso soup can be served with cubed tofu and accompanied with other vegetables such as soybean sprouts, enoki and shiitake mushrooms or baby spinach.
Miso paste is a fermented rice and soybean combination. I chose white miso paste which is fermented for a few weeks as opposed to regular miso (several months). I find the flavor to be less salty with a subtle sweetness. Don't be frightened by the size of miso containers sold in markets. Miso paste stores well in the refrigerator and you can make other dishes with it such as Asian salad dressing, other soup broths and vegetarian gravy.

keep seeing posts listing Dudley as the backup 2 guard and Childress as the back up 3?
Come on people, there has never been a game in his life that Jared Dudley has been considered a SG. It just isn't going to happen. He doesn't have the quickness to be a 2 guard. He doesn't even have the quickness to be considered a wing. He's a forward. Nothing more, nothing less. And don't even take that as a knock on Dudz. I love Dudley, think he's great. He's just not a SG.
Childress, yes, is an inch taller than Dudley, but he's also 15-25 lbs lighter than Dudley. He's also a heck of a lot faster. No, I wouldn't rank JChil as a 2 guard either. I'd list him as a wing/swingman. Dudley will guard a SG from time to time, yes. But not an extended period of time. Same with Hill. But Dudley is just as likely to put a body on a PF as he is a SG due to his weight. Remember, Sir Charles was 6-9, but only on a really, really good day (his round mound kept his height down due to the increase in gravity!).
Take some time people and learn the difference between types of players and what their positions really are.
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5
Combo Guard - Swingman - G/F
These are all different types of positions based on an offense a team runs, a player's size (height and weight), a player's length (wingspan), a player's quickness (first step, off the screen, on ball defense), etc.
I think some of you might roll your eyes at this and say, 'Whatever' but as much as you might dream of saying Earl Clark is a PF it's like saying Steve Nash is a small forward. When you see a team running a 3 guard, 2 big man unit on the floor, they're running 1 point guard and 2 wings with a 2 post front court. It's a standard run and gun set. You'll see a lot of cross screens, back screens and pick and rolls with the opposite screen to move both bigs out of the key and open it up for a back cut layup. Knowing that Kobe Bryant is a wing not a true SG and definitely not a SF, lets you know that he's a 'big guard' that can body some small forwards and also has the quickness to beat some shooting guards, yet he has the dead-eye touch of a shooting guard. Michael Jordan was the same. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were 2 unique situations in that Magic played all 5 positions and Bird played the 2, 3, and 4, though mostly was a 3 or 4. As a 4, he kept the other teams post outside and shot the lights out, letting Parrish or McHale dominate 1 on 1 down low without being doubled. As a 3, he would cut off of 2 screens from Parrish and McHale to get an open shot.
So when you look at the lineup, you have to know what type of roster is this really? What positions are they "really" playing because I could submit a roster saying Nash is my PF, Hill is my C, and Lopez is my PG. But are they really playing that role? No.So take some time, analyze the role that players really play. It will change your view of the offense and defense that a team runs and why they run them.

The inaugural "A Place to Lay Your Head" roomscapes fundraiser for Family Promise raised awareness and more than $2,500 at the organization's event on Oct. 1 and 2 at Foothills Mall.
While executive director Kathy Parkins had hoped for larger crowds, she was happy with the turnout for a first-time event.
"I thought that it was a great start for us. We had good publicity and it increased awareness of what we're doing. It was a small, but a good start," she said. "We hope to continue it in the future, adding some things to make it even better."
Parkins said there were a number of activities competing with the Family Promise event over the weekend, plus the weather was pleasant and many stayed outside rather than go to the mall. "I think the people who came enjoyed it. It wasn't what we hoped, but we think it was a good start."
Parkins said the event, which featured 10 designers, raised awareness in the community about Family Promise. "We appreciate the people who came. We had good feedback. It gives us a jumping off point to make it bigger and better for next year," she said. "I think we raised between $2,500 and $3,000 so we're happy with that. I've been told that with first-year fundraisers if you break even, that is good so we're pleased."

'Life' for mother who killed son
A mother who beat her son before setting his body on fire will serve a minimum of 17 years in prison, after being jailed for life. 33-year-old Sara Ege killed Yaseen Ali Ege, 7, at the family home in Pontcanna, Cardiff in July 2010.
Jail for mother who killed son with 'ferocious beating'
Sara Ege will serve a minimum of 17 years in prison for the murder of her seven-year-old son Yaseen. He suffered from 'prolonged cruelty.'Read the full story
Yaseen Ali Ege suffered 'prolonged cruelty'
Father: Yaseen was 'a beautiful little boy'
– Yousef Ali Ege, Yaseen's father
My memories of my son are that he was a beautiful little boy, a very happy boy who was decent and polite. It is hard for me now to describe my loving feelings for my son.
He was loved by all who had known him due to his beautiful nature and his high academic level.
I would like to thank all my family, friends for the endless support through these difficult times and I would like to thank all the people who sent messages of condolences.
Yousef Ali Ege was found not guilty of causing or allowing the death of his son by failing to act, in the trial which finished last month.
Domestic violence previously reported in Ege family
A Serious Case Review set up to look into the death of Yaseen Ali Ege says 'while lessons can be learned by all the agencies involved, his death could not be predicted.' It looks at the relationship of health staff, police, education and children's services in Cardiff with the family. It found:
- In 2003, reports of concern about domestic violence were made to the Women's Safety Unit but they were not reported to the police or children's services
- In 2007, when further reports of domestic violence were made there were delays in making referrals to Children's Services
There were no further reports of domestic violence or any referrals to Children's Services at the time of his death.
- The possibility that Yaseen might be at risk of significant harm within the family was not realised or understood
- There were occasions when teachers became concerned about his health and told his mother he should be taken to the doctor, but these were not referred under child protection procedures
- There was insufficient knowledge and understanding about the specific cultural traditions of the family and how these might have influenced the experiences of the individual members of the family and their engagement with services
The review has made a number of recommendations that have been accepted by Cardiff's Local Safeguarding Children Board.
Cardiff mother jailed for life for giving son 'ferocious beating'
Mother set fire to son's body to disguise murder
During her trial, the court heard Ege beat seven-year-old Yaseen to death with a stick and then burned his body in an attempt to destroy the evidence.
Yaseen was originally thought to have died in a tragic accident in the house fire.
The prosecution said Ege made no attempt to 'seek medical treatment he so obviously needed.'
Ege confessed to the killing after her arrest, saying she 'lost control,' but later retracted her confession blaming her husband, Yousef Ali Ege for Yaseen's death.
Sara Ege jailed for 17 years
A Cardiff mother convicted of murdering her seven-year-old son has been given a a 17-year jail sentence. Sara Ege beat her son Yaseen because he did not learn passages of the Koran.
She was given a four-year concurrent sentence for perverting the course of justice. She collapsed in the dock at Cardiff Crown Court as she was being taken away.
The judge said that Yaseen suffered 'prolonged cruelty which culminated, on the day of his death, with what can only be described as a ferocious beating.'
Yaseen's father, Yousef Ali Ege, was found not guilty of causing or allowing the death of his son by failing to act
Sara Ege to be sentenced over son's murder
A mother who beat her son before setting his body on fire is due to be sentenced for his murder later today.
33-year-old Sara Ege killed Yaseen Ali Ege, 7, at the family home in Pontcanna, Cardiff in July 2010.
The beatings had been carried out because her son had not memorised passages of the Koran.
In December, a jury at Cardiff Crown Court found Sara Ege guilty of murder, after a trial lasting five weeks.
Sara Ege: "I blame my anger, I just lost control"
"I blame my anger, I just lost control" that was the confession of a mother found guilty of murdering her 7 year-old son and perverting the course of justice.
Thirty two year-old Sara Ege later retracted this confession but today she was found guilty by a jury at Cardiff Crown Court.
The court had heard how Yaseen Ali Ege had been beaten to death and his body set on fire.
The beatings had been carried out because her son had not memorised passages of the Koran.
The court heard Sara Ege became 'increasingly angry' at the youngster when he did not learn the text.
She will be sentenced in the new year.
CPS offer thanks to family
Following the verdict in the trial of Sara Ege, found guilty of murdering her seven year old son, the Crown Prosecution Service Wales has issued the following statement:
– Deborah Rogers, District Crown Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service, Wales
The deeply tragic nature of this case has been all too apparent to anyone that has followed this trial.
This is the second time that the events leading to Yaseen's death have been put before a court.
The criminal trial process can be difficult for all those involved – in particular those close to Yaseen.
I would therefore like to record our thanks to all those who supported the prosecution of this case.
Finally, we should not forget that at the heart of the case is the loss of a bright and friendly young boy who had his whole life ahead of him.

SPARKS, Nev. (AP) -- Family members have identified a math teacher as the staff member who was killed while trying to stop a shooter at a northern Nevada middle school.
Chanda Landsberry says her 45-year-old brother-in-law, Michael Landsberry, died in the Monday morning shooting at Sparks Middle School.
The suspected gunman is a student who has died. Two other boys were injured.
Students from the middle school and an elementary school next door were evacuated to a nearby high school, and classes were canceled.
Chanda Landsberry says she's not surprised at all that her brother-in-law stepped in to stop the rampage.
Michael Landsberry is a military veteran who leaves behind a wife and two stepdaughters.
SPARKS, Nev. (AP) -- Police say it was a student who opened fire at a Nevada middle school today, killing a staff member who was trying to protect other children.
The suspected gunman also is dead, but authorities say no shots were fired by law enforcement, though more than 150 officers responded.
The shooting erupted outside Sparks Middle School shortly before classes began this morning. Two other students were critically injured in the incident. They were both taken to a nearby hospital, where one is out of surgery. Police say the other as doing well.
Students from the middle school and next door elementary school were evacuated to the nearby high school, and classes were canceled. At the evacuation center, parents walked with their arms around their children, some of whom were in tears.
The city of Sparks lies just east of Reno.
SPARKS, Nev. (WKOW) -- Police are investigating a shooting at Sparks Middle School in northern Nevada that has killed two people and injured at least two boys.
The school is located east of Reno.
A Sparks police dispatcher says the call came in at 7:16 a.m. Monday.
Spokeswoman Angela Rambo of Renown Regional Medical Center says the two boys are in critical condition.
Washoe County School District spokesman Charles Rahn says the middle school and the adjacent Agnes Risley Elementary School have been evacuated to Sparks High School. Rahn said the middle and elementary schools will be closed Monday.

Sorry, Mr. Aoki. Your opponent isn't Yoshihiro "Michael Jackson" Akiyama, but this is a fight I'm fairly certain American fans are dying to see:
Alvarez (15-1) and Aoki were on track to meet in the final of the Dream lightweight grand prix in July, but the American was unable to continue in the tournament after his grueling semifinal victory over Tatsuya Kawajiri. Aoki, meanwhile, went on to lose to alternate Joachim Hansen, the man Alvarez defeated in the quarterfinals.
A budding superstar and former Bodog Fight welterweight champion, Alvarez has made quite an impact since moving down in weight. Based out of Philadelphia's Fight Factory, the 24-year-old has rattled off five straight wins since suffering the only defeat of his career -- a technical knockout loss to Nick Thompson in April 2007. Knockout victories over Brazilian Andre Amade and UFC veterans Aaron Riley and Derrick Noble anchor his impressive resume.
Alvarez, who married in September, still plans to compete at an Extreme Challenge show next month in Atlantic City, N.J. No opponent has been named.
One of the world's premier submission grapplers, Aoki (18-3) last competed in September, when he submitted World Extreme Cagefighting veteran Todd Moore in 70 seconds at Dream 6. More than half (10) of the 25-year-old's 18 career wins have come by submission. Seasoned by the Pride, Shooto and Deep promotions, Aoki holds notable victories against American Top Team ace Gesias "JZ" Cavalcante, Akira Kikuchi (twice) and Clay French. His loss to Hansen -- whom he also owns a win against -- in July ended a 13-fight unbeaten streak.
This is a monster fight and the modern MMA iteration of Striker vs. Grappler. It's also a fantastic fight for the New Year's Event and a demonstration of just how stacked the lightweight division is outside of the UFC.
And there's a point that bears repeating: December, January and February are going to be monster months for our sport. That means not only a tremendous amount of enjoyment as fans, but even more reward as major events (not so much those in Japan) continue to push MMA further into the mainstream.

Certified Payroll/Prevailing Wage Reports: A Practical Guide to Compliance
When a contractor makes the move from residential/commercial construction projects to government-funded construction projects, which have certified payroll reporting requirements, it can be overwhelming for the contractor, their office staff, and the accounting professionals who support them. This often complex requirement can lead to major problems, including denial of payment, non-approval of payment requisitions-including change orders and claims, and contract termination.
This fast-paced 90-minute high-level overview focuses on the Federal WH-347 reporting requirements, which then can be translated to State specific prevailing wage mandates. Certified payroll expert Nancy Smyth will explain the important details you need to know to comply with certified payroll requirements on your government-funded construction project. Don't get caught in a prevailing wage nightmare; learn the ins-and-outs of certified payroll requirements and get your questions answered!

February 25, 2006
Moultrie -- A small South Georgia county celebrated in a big way today. It's Colquitt County's 150th Birthday! Natives of the county took some time to share memories they had growing up.
Colquitt County native Dick Causey is the son of a sharecropper, and he grew up on a farm just outside of Moultrie. He remembers taking trips to town with his family.
"We would come to town on Saturdays. We would walk around that ledge of courthouse square like most kids did. And I have watched Moultrie grow through my years."
The town has had many years to grow. Saturday marked the 150th birthday of Colquitt County's existence, and the locals, like Carolyn Flowers, reminisced of stories to tell.
"We're supposed to have the prettiest courthouse in the state. We'll I think its the prettiest, it's been kept up. It's just a landmark and it's elegant.," Flowers shared.
An elegance that brings back memories to Jean Herndon of a magical season of her life. "I remember coming here as a small child during the Christmas holidays and they had a platform over there on the courthouse lawn, and Santa Clause was over there."
"A lot of good memories in this town, a lot of fine memories," Causey said.
Memories 150 years in the making, and many more to come.
Luckily the rainy weather didn't keep everyone away from the big birthday party. Moultrie native, Senator Saxby Chambliss spoke at the event, along with members of the state legislature. Activities lasted all day long and included exhibits, storytelling, and ended with some great food.

text: Chris Owusu was Andrew Luck's top WR at Stanford. He has been cut by the 49ers, who signed him this year as an undrafted free agent. The only reason he wasn't drafted was because he is coming back from an ugly concussion this past year. However, he has been cleared by doctors to resume football. I know it's a risk, and I also know im not the only one seeing visions of Austin Collie here, but let's give the guy a chance. He was Luck's top target on a team with Fleener, Whalen, etc. Worth a shot I say.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) – The Los Angeles Fire Department will have more firefighters and paramedics working on the Westside for "Carmageddon II" this weekend, including motorcycle teams capable of weaving through gridlocked traffic in an emergency.
City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, whose district includes the affected 10- mile section of the San Diego (405) Freeway through the Sepulveda Pass, said extra personnel will be deployed at three fire stations serving the Mountain Gate community, Encino Hills, Bel-Air, Beverly Glen and West Los Angeles.
"I'm very pleased that the LAFD has once again committed to increasing staffing levels in my geographically isolated communities to ensure my residents will not be put in peril should a significant emergency incident occur during this weekend closure," Rosendahl said.
"The innovative use of motorcycle teams to respond to emergencies should shave precious minutes off an emergency medical response, and allow for the quick stabilization of a patient prior to the arrival of an ambulance crew."
The fire department's motorcycle teams, which include two firefighter/EMTs, will be stationed on both sides of the 405 — notorious for being the world's busiest freeway. They will also be used to provide traffic reports around the closed section of freeway.
Fire Chief Brian Cummings expressed confidence the extra personnel will ensure "a huge success in managing any impact associated with this project."

News items to be added soon!
The Burn Run, or "The Burn" as it is referred to by many runners, is the race to run November 9, 2014. Developed and organized by race Director, John Minnick, of the East Syracuse Fire Department, the race touts a 5K and 10K nationally certified race.
Seven years ago, in conjunction with the Burn Foundation of Central New York, the race was developed to raise money for survivors of severe burn injuries. The primary function of the fund is paying for children with burn injuries to attend Burn Camp where they have an opportunity to interact with other adolescents and receive emotional and physical support. A few of the other projects sponsored by the Burn Foundation are helping survivors purchase durable equipment, paying for services not covered by their insurance or the burn center, and sponsoring some staff to get updated education to treat survivors.
Our first line of defense against severe burn injuries is our firefighters. They are not only trained in technical firefighting strategies, they are also combat-ready, physically fit men and women the public counts on to save them during fire calls. The Burn Run is one of the few 5K New York State races that promotes the health and physical fitness of our firefighters.
This year, along with the unique firefighters division, there will be new sports sponsors, running programs, and new awards strategically developed to give runners a wide variety of race opportunities. We expect to double our race participants again this year. This means we look forward to seeing 1,500 people at the East Syracuse Fire Department on Sanders Creek Parkway!
We hope you will continue your generous support of our endeavor to make life better for burn survivors. Come enjoy a day with your friends and family by running and supporting the Burn Foundation of Central New York. There will be an opportunity to meet firefighters from around the state, staff from the Clark Burn Center, and survivors that have benefited from the public's support of this wonderful event. The Kid's race starts at 8:30 am, the 5K at 9:00 am, and the 10K at 10:00 am.
Would you like to help burn survivors and send children to Burn Camp? To make a tax-deductible donation, send a check made out to the "Burn Foundation of Central New York" with a memo noting the Burn Run to:

When you lie awake at night dreaming of Chanel accessories, it's likely that your thoughts are dominated by interlocking Cs and camellias. Chanel's pre-Fall ad campaign should give you something else to fantasize about. Feathers were an equally large part of Mlle Chanel's decorative arsenal, and in their gilded, haircomb form, they can now be a part of yours, too.

Fort George
Following the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his Jacobite army at Culloden, the Hanoverian King George II put up the ultimate defence against any further unrest - Fort George.
Built on a barren spit of land jutting in the Moray Firth at Ardersier, north east of Inverness, Fort George is the mightiest artillery fortification in Britain, if not in Europe. Its elaborate 18th-century bastioned defences and original garrison buildings survive intact. Almost a mile around, Fort George encloses an area of 42 acres (Edinburgh Castle esplanade would fit into its parade ground).
Despite taking 21 years to complete and costing nearly £1 billion at today's prices, Fort George never saw a shot fired in anger.
The historic barrack rooms are a time capsule of the domestic life of the Scottish soldier. Private John Anderson of the 42nd Royal Highlanders sits polishing his musket in the barrack room of 1780 that he shared with seven of his comrades, two to a bed. Nearly a hundred years later Private John Moffat had the relative luxury of a single bed and just five men to the room, where he was encouraged to be active rather than be idle or drunk.
Writing at his desk in 1813, during the Napoleonic Wars, Major Andrew Coghlan enjoyed larger and lighter accommodation. The addition of window shutters and fine panelled doors mark this as an officer's room.
The Seafield CollectionOne of the many highlights of a visit to Fort George is the fascinating Seafield Collection of arms and military equipment on display in the grand magazine. This superb collection, most of which dates from the Napoleonic Wars, includes India Pattern muskets with bayonets from 1794, pikes, swords and ammunition pouches and knapsacks.
Fort George is a must-visit on any trip to the Highlands. There is so much to see in Fort George, from the imposing artillery defences bristling with cannon to the grand magazine, built to hold 2500 barrels of gunpowder. The Fort also offers magnificent views across the Moray Firth and is a favourite spot for dolphin watching.
Fort George includes the Regimental Museum of The Queen's Own Highlanders (opening times may vary in winter, please telephone to confirm).
This property is managed by Historic Scotland.

Rumors of our demise were never told but greatly exaggerated if they were. Yes, we're all alive. No one is dead yet. I have Joe first in the betting pool though so here's hoping. We've still been playing video games. All of us have some kind of backlog going. Mine's even public and, Lord alive, have I not been sticking to it. We've been watching video games. EVO finals? Holy shit. The International 4? Meh, but the finals are coming up so we stand to still be assumed. Most of us moved or have been moving around this summer. Having no internet in this day and age is a killer. It felt like a smoker going cold turkey. Recess is over though and we're all back in our seats.
What does that mean for the website and the stream? It's back and with a (close to) set schedule.
Advanced Novice: Nicole and I now have stable lives with stable jobs and stableish schedules and a stable place made of stable brick to record in. That said, we're picking up where we left off now recording on Mondays and publishing late Tuesday. After 2 months being away from the mic, we have a lot to talk about. Be prepared. I found my Sega Genesis.
Twitch Stream: We love playing video games. We love talking video games. We like Twitch. Okay. We love Twitch. That's why we're making a better effort to get more streaming hours under our belts. Expect to be hearing more about it soon.
Quick Taps/Youtube: I told you we like to talk about video games. We like complaining about them more. There are praise pieces too radda radda. More content. More stuff to look at with your special eyes.
Bookmark us. While your at it, take a look back at what we've done before. We're going to be way better that the bar we set on the floor. The bar's going at least knee high at moderately inconvenient, step over levels. Watch your shins.
We had a good chunk of entries. There were a lot of great predictions and some that made us go, "… guys. Seriously, guys." But there was one that peered down deep into the crystal ball and, now that we think about, cheated his way to victory.
Our Winner is Matt from Canada!
He's opted to take the $20 bucks to Steam for the Steam Summer Sale and wait for Walking Dead Se- … Wait… SUMMER SALE?!

Blogs > Ron Jones > February 2012
Arguably Shakespeare's most recognizable character, Juliet Capulet, captures the play's central theme and struggle in one simple line after asking her beloved Romeo Montague "what is in a name?"
"That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
It's a message we can all take to heart as we grapple with how to market products, goods and services to the ever expanding green economy, especially the green building sector. And it's been a problem since the early days of the movement.
When we started offering media services to companies interested in the green building arena we assumed, like many others encouraging sustainable business, that our major concern would be "greenwashing" by those who would over-promise and under-deliver, folks who would exaggerate claims about the environmentally friendly aspects of their offerings.
However, what we actually encountered was quite different. We rarely came across manufacturers who deliberately inflated their stories but quite the reverse. There were, and still are, serious concerns on the part of many that they will be challenged by skeptics, called out very publicly if they make claims they cannot categorically prove.
That fact, as much as any other single reason, may explain why third-party certifications and approvals have gained so much importance in the world of sustainability. It is one thing to say you're green yourself, it's quite another to have an endorsement from a trusted outside source.
But not every product or system has access to accepted criteria, testing and verification. Those tools simply don't exist in every case. And that leaves companies wondering how they can safely get their message to potential customers.
Enter Shakespeare's underlying message…
The rose is not sweet because of what it's called. The rose is sweet because of what it is. Green is not just an ingredient, a feature or an attribute. Green is an outcome, an added benefit, a by-product of doing something well.
Green building is quality building, and green products are – more than anything else- quality products. You don't have to call them green, just build in the right ingredients…responsible materials and processes, durability, resource efficiency, water and energy savings, response to indoor air/environment concerns…build in the quality and value.
That's the story you need to tell. The green message will take care of itself, and your success will smell just as sweet.

OK, I'll happily admit that I'm a real soft touch for old dogs, old trucks (you can easily tell how comfortable I am leaning against this cherry '51 Chevy!), and old buildings, like the one housing the clocktower featured in our February 2012 issue.
These days I don't have much time for close involvement with projects other than those in our VISION House® series and that means I have little direct participation with homeowners compared to a few years ago. So even though I'm regularly contacted by someone requesting my involvement in a particular project I'm rarely able to make an exception just due to time limitations.
But when a remodeler acquaintance asked me to look at an historic structure in New Orleans' warehouse district I couldn't resist the invitation. She and the property owners were struggling with design solutions in hopes of producing results that would do justice to an opportunity as unique and memorable as this. They offered me a chance to be involved and after one visit there was no way I could refuse.
My reward was that I got to know the creative and stubbornly determined owners, learned the fascinating story of their project, and had a chance to offer a little input along the way, while helping to make connections with some of the manufacturers of the essential products and systems that were needed to help assure maximum (and sustainable) results for this extraordinary residence.
I've long maintained that most existing buildings inherently have a "green" head start by virtue of the simple fact that they are already in place. The environmental costs for the land, materials and other resources required to construct them have already been paid and there's no going back, so why not reuse rather than replace whenever possible? Still, they come with their own set of special concerns as well, like structural uncertainty, outdated and obsolete systems and fixtures, logistical difficulties, and code and safety challenges, just to name a few.
It is no small task to incorporate code compliant plumbing, electrical components, fire protection, controls and appliances (not to mention modern air conditioning and ventilation, sound attenuation, insulation, modern glazing, air and moisture barriers, etc.) into a traditional masonry and heavy timber structure where few surfaces are plumb or level, square corners are almost nonexistent and the utilities are perhaps a century old, but the result is more than worth the effort!
I hope you enjoy reading about the clocktower as much I enjoyed being involved.

A favorite story of mine comes from an interview with Thomas Edison who, late in his life, reportedly confided that if he "had known anything about metallurgy" he would never have invented the incandescent light bulb, because he "would have known it is impossible".
The human imagination may be among the most powerful forces in the universe, but without the courage to exercise it, to challenge "conventional wisdom" and to embrace the endless possibilities, we are doomed to go along with outdated ideas and obsolete concepts that not only perpetuate our ignorance, but actually promote collective laziness and conservatism, leaving us increasingly unwilling to accept change, even when it is clearly in our own best interest.
The path of least resistance is found by going along with accepted thinking, because we don't want to risk the embarrassment of being wrong, or simply because we assume that others already agree with whatever is being said. Sadly, that is a path to nowhere.
Worse yet, we fool ourselves into believing we are part of the "solution" by participating in established institutions who on the surface appear to be seeking progress but who, in fact, use us to advance predetermined agendas. Their process has been perfectly described as "transactional, not deliverative" and they are masters and herding the rest of us in directions of their choosing.
Fortunately, there is also another ytpe of person who has the intellectual capacity and the courage to challenge the status quo, to confront conventional pluralistic ignorance and push the boundaries of the existing comfort zone.
Begun in 2002, and presented biennially in 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon has challenged collegiate teams from a variety of countries to "design, build and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient and attractive".
The 2011 Solar Decathlon provided more than 350,000 house visits over a ten day period, and information to millions more across the globe through a wide variety of media. Additionally, more than 30 onsite public workshops were held, as well as a day of workshops dedicated to builders and industry. Conducted on the National Mall in Washingotn, the event featured 19 teams from as nearby as Maryland and from as far away as New Zealand.
As you can see in our January issue, the innovative solutions were as diverse and imaginative as you might expect, but they shared some commonalities too - especially a fearless pursuit of knowledge and solutions for a better future.

Nothing like a Spring wedding…
Not a very festive post I know… but then again I've always been a fan of planning ahead!
There's no better excuse for splashing out on a new frock than a friend's wedding. And when the wedding has a vintage theme, it's the perfect opportunity to follow suit.
So when I was asked to point a friend of a friend in the direction of the perfect dress for such an occasion, I happily agreed to electronically dash around my favourite online vintage and retro clothing boutiques, cyber-grabbing the best ones for her to try on.
Cerian's in Cardiff and I'm in London, but the vast array of online boutiques make such long distance personal shopping a much easier task. Nevertheless, when it comes to vintage, it can be daunting to buy online. Will it fit? Will it flatter? Will it look completely different from the photos?
Knowing your bust, waist and leg measurements is a must for this kind of shopping, so get that tape measure out! It's also always smart to check the seller's willingness to accept returns.
So… what to wear to a vintage-themed wedding? My eye was immediately drawn to 1950's shapes in bold prints and pretty 1940's style tea dresses: pretty, feminine looks from days gone by. A few bold 80's dresses crept in as well! Attempting to keep within the £70 budget (but not always succeeding), here are my suggestions…
Part 1
While the joy of vintage is that every item is the only one of its kind, it can be heart-breaking when you find the perfect dress but its simply doesn't exist in your size. Vintage inspired, retro reproductions can therefire be slightly easier option, particularly when shopping online. You'll still need to know your measurements as the sizing can be slightly different to modern sizing, but its happily possible to find each dress in your size! When I heard about Cerian's quest, it was to these vintage-inspired designers that I headed to first.
Dress 1) Vivien of Holloway's 1950s Halterneck Circle Dress (£69 – £115)
These gorgeous dresses come satin and lace as well as a variety of floral and polka dot prints. Most of them are priced at about £79 – a teeny bit above the budget but probably worth the extra ten pound! I just love the figure-flattering style. Vivien also sells the flouncy petticoats (as seen in the photograph) and a range of fab accessories. With such a strong vintage style in the dress, I reckon just some curls in your hair and a dash of red lippy and you're ready to head to the church!
Dress 2) Collectif Regina 50s Style Floral Hibiscus Wiggle Dress (£45-£50)
This dress celebrates sexy curves, creating that sought after hourglass shape with its jutting cap sleeves, which provide balance to the lower half. I love the punchy hibiscus print: pretty without being too girly, bold without being too loud. Similar styles also available in black, beige and cherry print.
Dress 3) Vivien of Holloway Halterneck Pencil Dress (£69-£99)
I know, I know – I'm going over budget again! But at least some of these are actually under the £70 limit. If the 1950's, full skirted Dress 1 wasn't quite what you had in mind, this figure-hugging, pencil-skirted dress might hit the spot. Again, its available in a number of patterns and sizes. And its just sexy, isn't it?
Dress 4) 20th Century Foxy 1950s Style Sandy Dress (£79)
This is actually only available in sizes 12 or 14 and it is a wee bit over budget, but I just couldn't bring myself to leave it out of the list. It's in the sale, reduced from £99, which is why the other sizes are sadly no longer available. I wanted to share it because not only is the print really unusual but the sleeveless, cross over bust and the wide red waistband create such an attractive sillouette. You just know you'd wear this one a lot, day and evening. I'm lusting after this one a lot!
Dress 5) Collectif Tammy Doll Birdcage Print Retro Swing Dress (£50)
I do love birdcages, so the print of this dress immediately appealed to me! Most of all, I love the black collar and cuffs, and the pink buttons. The V-shape created by the collar will be really flattering.
Dress 6) Style Icon's Closet Ditsy Print Full Circle Retro Dress (£54.99)
Coming in appreciably within budget, this little number also has a pretty, 1950's feel. Sweetly strapless and the triple ribbon around the hem reminds me of dance classes when I was little! Too sugary sweet for you? It also comes in some eye-popping bright polka dot fabrics, which are an even nicer £45.
Part 2
Lovely as the above reproductions are, there's nothing like knowing you are wearing something one of a kind and previously loved. Here are some of the prettiest vintage occasion dresses I found on trusty ASOS Marketplace, which is the best outlet I've come across for buying genuine vintage online… I've stuck to ones which will flatter a small waist and generous bust!
Dress 7) Vintage 1970's Electric Blue Draped Maxidress (£70)
Something a bit more floor sweeping and glamourous… The bold colour, verticle shape and the cowl neckline ensure it will be flattering. I like the idea of highlighting the waist with a thin belt and adding a vintage brooch too.
Dress 8 ) 1950's Floral Day Dress (£38)
Simple yet effective… and the pleats are bang on trend. The styling in the photos demonstrates exactly how you could glam this one up!
Dress 9) Vintage Floral Print Silk Dress (£15)
Still rocking the floral look for Spring, but with an 80's style and a pop of colour to brighten things up. At only £15, I had to include it… wedding or no wedding, this one's a steal.
Dress 10) Red 80s Midi Dress with Shoulder Pads (£24.99)
If all this floral is getting a bit saccharin for your tastes, this is here to create a proper contrast! Boldly brilliant, you'll be sure to steal the show. If the shoulder pads are a bit much, you can always remove them. And like the last two, it comes in well under budget, giving you the chance to splash out on those important accessories.
And then for the finishing touches…
Unless the wedding is a steamy foreign affair, then lets face it, a pretty cardigan is a neccessity. This lovely lemon yellow one from my current collection would work a treat! Why not replace the original buttons with some interesting ones if you want to dress it up a bit? Just head to any haberdashery and browse to your hearts content.
You've gotta get that hair all vintaged up – I really recommend Classic Retro Glamour's hair tutorial videos for a practice first! Its the perfect way to lose a few hours playing around in front of the mirror, surprising yourself with your ability to create classic curls, unusual up-dos and stylish victory rolls. Make sure you add some decoration, whether its a couple of fabric flower hairgrips or an interesting fascinator – I love Hatastic's domino ones. These pretty bows from Beatrix Brown would work really well too!
Lastly, slip on some pretty heels and a waist cinching belt… Add a slick of bold red (or pink) lippy (MAC Russian Red is a personal fave) and you're good to go!
So there you have it – online solutions to a vintage-themed dress dilemma. Hope you have a fantastic time at the wedding Cerian… do let me know what you end up wearing and send me a photo!

Farmar and Westbrook - epic game
Farmar goes for a career night with 28 points and 9 assists, while Westbrook goes nuts for 38 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists in a thrilling 123-120 (Triple OT) Thunder win over the Nets. Great to see two true Bruins dominating in the NBA. Truly amazing finish to the game, as the overtimes in particular were incredible for RW and JF.

In case you missed NPR's full album stream of Krizzle's big time debut the other night, here is what will presumably be one of the next singles. Featuring an anchor from his Def Jam homie Ludacris, "What You Mean" is a bass-heavy homage to all the innocent chicks out there who hide their inner-freak, instead of just fulfilling their fantasies. We don't know if this will be the song that specifically turns those undercover hoes out, but we can damn sure guarantee it'll have the exhibitionist chicks turning a trick or two to earn a couple bucks.
When they do, hopefully they'll be copping Live From The Underground when it hits stores June 5.

HERE is Matthew Norman, writing in Britain's The Independent on George W. Bush's memoir: "Apparently he concludes his memoir Decision Points with the familiar anecdote of how, within days of leaving Washington, he was picking up his dog's mess with a plastic bag in a Texas park. Evidently he regards this as a cute vignette of the transience of power, as well as his own endearing lack of pomp. Yet what causes the stab of pity is the stupidity at which it hints. How could anyone in possession of a three-figure IQ (still a moot point with Bush) fail to see what a golden gift that image is to satirists? There he is, in the cartoon in my head, scooping up a couple of Cumberland sausages while following him, shovelling up the Augean Stable-sized steaming pile he left behind in the Oval Office, is Barack Obama at the wheel of an industrial digger."
Buckets of fun
DON'T forget today's Newtown Festival at Camperdown Memorial Rest Park, an "annual community celebration of creativity, diversity, sustainability and inclusion", as the blurb runs. It may not be your thing if you live east of Darlo, south of Sydenham or anywhere north of the harbour but everyone else will likely love it. If you associate November 11 more with the Dismissal than Remembrance Day, it is right up your alley. Lots of music, a writers' stage, workshops, stalls and an eco area. The festival is free but people can "give back" through donation buckets to fund services for the needy. Peace to the people.
Out of the ark
TO THOSE good Christian folk who criticise Julia Gillard's atheism on the grounds she is not getting guidance from heaven, have a look at this for an alternative. Crikey has quoted a report in London's The Daily Telegraph about Republican congressman John Shimkus, an evangelical Christian representing Illinois, who wants to chair the powerful committee that examines the effect energy policy has on the environment. The paper quoted his words last year at a hearing on proposed emissions trading legislation. Reading from God's post-Flood promise to Noah in Genesis 8:21, he said: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though all inclinations of his heart are evil from childhood and never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done." Mr Shimkus added: "I believe that's the infallible word of God and that's the way it's going to be for his creation. The Earth will end only when God declares it's time to be over. Man will not destroy this Earth. This Earth will not be destroyed by a flood. I do believe that God's word is infallible, unchanging, perfect."
Whitey pales
RE LAST week's item on the terrible typo that turned Illinois gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney into Rich Whitey, I have been trumped. A Bathurst resident has copied and scanned me a page from 1985 of The Western Advocate when the city was marking the centenary of its proclamation. The climax of the festivities was when, at the council's invitation, the descendants of the man for whom the town was named visited, all the way from Britain. In a photo caption the next day, the Advocate meant to warmly welcome "The Earl and Countess of Bathurst," but a key vowel was mistakenly left out of the fourth word.
Quotes of week
JOHN SINGLETON, at the dinner to celebrate – no, really – 25 years of Alan Jones on Sydney radio: "This is the first time I have MCed a Liberal Party function. But it is wonderful to be here to honour Alan, the longest-serving leader of the Liberal Party."
LEONARD COHEN at Acer Arena on Monday night, in a chat to the enthralled crowd: "I started this tour three years ago, when I was 73, just a crazy kid with a dream . . . "
PENELOPE SEIDLER on why a planned 191-metre apartment block at Circular Quay should not proceed. "It will be significantly higher than any building around. I don't see the rationale for it. It doesn't make sense." Not to me, either, but, on the same rationale, nor does Blues Point Tower, which her late, great, husband Harry Seidler designed.
Aussie berth
TFF attended a significant occasion at the Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour on Tuesday, which deserved to have attracted more than close to zero media interest. Dutch ambassador Willem Andreae presented Senator Don Farrell, representing the federal government, mementoes from four centuries-old Dutch shipwrecks – the Batavia, the Vergulde Draeck, the Zuytdorp and the Zeewijk – discovered off the Western Australian coast in the 1960s. As one who has spent years researching and writing a book on the Batavia, I was fascinated to see up close such things as guns, apothecary jars and eating utensils from the ship, all gathered over the past 50 years. The Dutch government, in a supremely generous gesture, is handing them to Australia for perpetuity in the belief collections should not be divided and are best seen close to where they are found. They will be displayed at the Western Australian Museum – Maritime in Fremantle.
Joke of the week
I woke early one morning,
The earth lay cool and still,
When suddenly a tiny bird
Perched on my windowsill,
He sang a song so lovely,
So carefree and so gay,
That slowly all my troubles,
Began to slip away.
He sang of far-off places,
Of laughter and of fun.
It seemed his very trilling,
Brought up the morning sun.
I stirred beneath the covers,
Crawled slowly out of bed,
Then gently shut the window,
And crushed his f---ing head.
I am not a morning person.

Valdosta - A South Georgia city is honoring its former mayor.
The Valdosta-Lowndes Conference Center was renamed the James H. Rainwater Conference Center Friday. Plans are also underway to build a fountain and reflection pool in Rainwater's memory.
"I think probably today is one of the first days in his life that he's up there looking down and he's speechless," said Jamie Rainwater. "I don't think he would have ever thought that all of you, his sisters, and his family would be here honoring him in this way."
Rainwater died of a heart attack last October. He served as mayor of Valdosta for 16 years.

Some people may think that professional football players live in an alternative universe. How else do you explain the constant moaning about outlawing helmet-to-helmet contact and the juvenile hi-jinx that goes on in the locker room? Do National Football League (NFL) players that seem so human and down-to-earth away from the game actually inhabit another "planet" on the field?
There have been two major areas of controversy this season in the NFL. The first is the whole issue of concussions. Several retired players have committed suicide, lost their memory, or dealt with excruciating headaches because of concussions they suffered during their playing days. 4,500 former players sued the NFL because they felt the league covered up the effects of head shots. The league denied the charge but settled the case for $675 million and currently finances studies on brain injuries and has outlawed head shots from the game.
While retired players are suffering and accusing the NFL of misleading them the current crop of players are complaining that the new rules are ruining the game. Young "studs" think like the old ones used to, that they're invincible. Apparently they have to be retired for ten years and have their brains and bodies break down before they learn their lesson.
It may not be surprising that the second issue of concern is the spoiled-children-like behavior in the locker room. It recently came to light that a shy, sensitive, highly educated young lineman on the Miami Dolphins was being hazed, bullied, and ostracized by his teammates. He left the team because he couldn't take it anymore.
Despite putting up with racial epithets, being left to eat alone, and forced to pony up $15,000 for a "team" trip to Las Vegas he didn't attend, most current players defend the "system" and blast the young lineman for not being able to take it. Apparently taping rookies to goalposts, forcing them to pay for extravagant dinners, and treating them like pariahs are just standard operating procedure in the NFL.

About TED
TED is a US based not-for-profit enterprise devoted to the propagation of Ideas Worth Spreading. TED started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment & Design. Started as a four-day conference in California 28 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK prime minister Gordon Brown. The annual TED Conference takes place each spring in Long Beach, California, along with the TEDActive simulcast in Palm Springs; the annual TEDGlobal conference is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.
TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, the recently launched TED-Ed platform for students and educators, the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide, and TEDBooks, short e-books by speakers that elaborate on a single idea originally presented on TED's stage. TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organised events around the world, and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
