The Clark County Coroner's office identified the 17-year-old pedestrian who was struck and killed by a semi-truck in west Las Vegas Monday.
The cause of death, though, was pending for Alexis Gomez Bautista, the coroner's office reported.
The teen was hit just after 5 p.m. on Spring Mountain Road near Wynn Road, according to Las Vegas Metro police.
Police said the truck was making a right turn and hit the victim. The victim was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police are still investigating to determine who was at fault, but did say the pedestrian was wearing headphones when struck.
Spring Mountain Road was closed for several hours on Monday as the accident was investigated.
As of this incident, Metro has investigated 34 traffic-related fatalities in the Las Vegas area this year.

Portfolio collection of impressionistic oil paintings by James Moore.
I paint because I like discovering something's unique beauty as I see it, and then capturing my feelings about it in paint.
These are emotionally evocative paintings. "James's paintings provoke fond memories, reminding me of places I have been and want to be again" says Jim Reeves (collector).

CATEGORIES MoviesThe current controversy over giving the movie Bully an R-rating is akin to the current movement of conservative men "helping" women protect themselves against "evil" decisions. The movie is intended to battle widespread and ever-increasing bullying. There is an advantage to having parents see the film and learn more about the problem and its consequences, but the real target audience is and should be children. The fact that the movie contains what we called "curse" or "dirty" words (when I was a child 80 years ago) should hardly serve to bar seeing it by those who need it the most.
How can we continue this ridiculous notion that somehow our children must be shielded from hearing certain words? I recently posted an article decrying the hypocrisy of prohibiting profanity on television but letting the most horrendous violence thrive without restriction.
What is the harm to children from hearing these words in a movie, particularly when they hear those same words everyday in the schoolyard, on the streets and probably even in their own home? The language that can harm them is that coming from a bully, and that is the message the R-rating keeps them from hearing.
If parents, nonetheless, want to shield their children from such language they certainly are free to do so, but there should be no external restriction on movie admission merely because of the language a film contains. I have a sneaking suspicion that those who are most strongly in favor of the prohibition are the same ones who decry government interference (although the restrictions here are industry-, not government-, imposed). No one other than parents should be telling children what words they can hear. It is more important for children to learn the harm and dangers of bullying than be shielded from the language used in carrying out that bullying.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) -- The strong just keep getting stronger. Defending Mississippi Valley Conference football champ Central plans to build on an 8-2 season with a big senior class in 2013 and bigger expectations.
Third-year head coach Tony Servais said, "We're expecting all 27 of those guys to participate in some way to help us. Obviously the juniors and sophomores have to step in a little bit too."
Servais added the Red Raiders' depth will be key to winning games late in a tough schedule. Their versatility, meanwhile, allowed for a faster start.
"Last year we kind of set our foundation with these guys," said Servais.
"We're light-years ahead of where we were last year at this time," said senior DB/RB Mitchell Johnson. "That's real exciting on the offensive side of the ball. With the defense we're just picking up right where we left off."
While injuries have already claimed character players like senior Ben Faga for the season, if anything, Central's added to their arsenal. Mitchell Johnson showed his ability on Tuesday to take on different roles on both sides of the ball, while a new weapon in senior Monona Grove transfer Lamont Murphy should pack an unexpected punch for opponents.
Senior WR/S Max Hether said, "[With Murphy] they won't even know what's happening."
"We're real excited," added Johnson. "He's just another extension of us. He's picked up stuff real quick. I think he'll be a huge asset."
Players and coaches agreed that Murphy and the younger players alike already mesh well with the established team dynamic.
Hether said, "It'll help a lot because we'll be able to get on each other without anyone taking it too personally."
That, they said, makes it easier to focus more quickly on the finishing touches.
"Right now we're focusing on our passing game, trying to get a little more efficient there," Servais said. "That was one of the areas of concern we had at the end of last year. We just weren't efficient throwing the ball. We want to focus on that in the three days without pads."
"We're not walking through stuff, we're going through it faster and faster. Speed, speed, speed is kind of our motto here," said Johnson.
The speed, strength and surprise could leave the rest of the MVC searching for Central's weakness.

I consider myself lucky, because I hold the solution to a problem that most kids my age still struggle with. Many of my friends are still unsure what they want to do with their lives. Fortunately for me, I've had my mind made up for a long time. I want to be a writer, a writer for a newspaper or magazine.
It wasn't always this cut and dry. When I was six, I thought I had my mind made up too. I wanted to be a television chef with my own cooking show. One of my personal favorites was "Yan Can Cook." The flashing knife blades and words like saut" fascinated me like a crowd at the fireworks. That was my future, I'd be the next "Frugal Gourmet"! After a few years, I came to the realization that I had no culinary abilities at all (if I remember correctly, flaming cookies were somehow involved). I was watching TV again, and the weather was on. Why not meteorology? After a chance meeting with the television weatherman, that became my next dream job. I went all out this time. The junior weather set, maps, thermometers all found their way under my Christmas tree. My room became its own little analysis area, but I used to call it the "forecast center." For a while, I kept up my studies. I can remember when Hurricane Bob flew through New England, and there I stood with the Weather Channel on (until we lost power) charting the storm's progress. I was sure that this was "the one," my life would unfold on the six o'clock news. Until the seventh grade, I held onto my visions of stormy days and the foretelling of them.
This was when everything changed. I had to write a paper for English class - the schooltime classic - "How I Spent my Summer Vacation." I did it, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However when I handed it in, it got quite a response (and not because "golfing a lot" was the most interesting topic in the world). The teacher told me "it was the best writing he had seen in a long time." I couldn't believe it, was this my hidden talent? I began to read more newspapers and magazines, and noticed a trend. Comments on things I would have written the piece differently had I been the writer began to surface. This kept happening, and I thought maybe it was time I threw my hat in the journalism ring.
The rest, I suppose, is history. Now I write for the school newspaper, and I love every minute. The exposure, the expression, and the fun of semicolons are just a part. The way my dry wit could influence those around me leaves me both proud and in awe at the same time. Who knows, maybe one day I'll end up writing about cooking, in bad weather no less. -

God knows the Orioles, at best, split their pickups at free agent last year. Bradford & Walker WERE the bullpen in 2007. Meanwhile, nothing says "Orioles Magic" like the names Danys Baez, Jay Payton, Paul Shuey and Scott Williamson. So who's out there going into the offseason that's worth picking up? Lemme toss these thoughts around:
Scott Hatteberg: 1B
-He has some pop and he gets on base (OBP of .394 in 2007). He'd make a good 1B platoon with Millar next year. The only concern is the age; he'll be 39 when 2008 ends. But to reunite him with Chad Bradford rejoins two of the best stories from "Moneyball".
A.Rod: 3B/SS
-It's probably never going to happen, but why not make a run and try to move Miggy for some talent while he can still swing a bat? Hell, this would be the first splash move the F.O. has made since they got Miguel.
Mike Lowell: 3B
-He's going to be way overpriced, and will either stay with Boston or move back to New York. But, again, he's a good on-base guy who's had consistently strong numbers for the past several years. Then again, if he comes here, he probably turns into Glenn Davis.
Milton Bradley: LF/CF
-I'd love to see my favorite crazy person revisit the Joey Belle years here in Baltimore. At least I'd see some fire out of someone on the roster other than Jamie Walker.
Barry Bonds: LF/DH
-Who else is going to DH in 2008? I'd forgive Miguel's defensive shortcomings if he had someone hitting .280/25/80 behind him in the 4-slot. Then again, I have 2008 in the Barry Bonds "neck-collapses-under-weight-of-gigantic-head" pool.
Jason Jennings/Jeff Weaver: SP
-Both of these guys had years that shit the bed on them, although Weaver was decent in the 2nd half of '07. But Jennings and Weaver have always been innings eaters, both have stayed healthy (Jennings' '07 nonwithstanding) and they probably won't have huge price tags attached. I did feel the same way about Kris Benson, though, and he turned out just great, didn't he?
Kerry Wood: RP
-Hell, I'd take a flier on him. He played last year for the Cubs for a cool million, and gave them 20+ innings of decent relief. I'd make him Mazzone's last reclamation job: either he brings Kerry back from dead, or Leo hits the bricks.
Phew, that's the most I'd had to say ever. I wanted to link to the entries on MLB.com, but I know dick about HTML tags. Additions, subtractions and corrections: post below.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - There was another step Thursday in the federal case against peace protesters facing charges for breaking in to the Y-12 National Security Complex.
That breech prompted an overhaul of procedures and cost the security provider its contract.
Michael Walli, Sister Megan Rice, and Greg Boertje-Obed were arrested in July after security officers found the group had trespassed onto the grounds.Earlier, a judge heard a motion to dismiss sabotage charges against the protestors, a much more serious charge that can carry up to a 20-year prison sentence Displaying their anti-nuclear weapon sentiment on t-shirts in court on Thursday, the three Y-12 protestors say they shouldn't be on trial facing sabotage charges.
"We didn't want to sabotage anybody's security," said Rice. "We wanted to safeguard the needs of seven billion people and those who follow us." Federal prosecutors say the three violated the Sabotage Act since they damaged a national defense premises and obstructed matters of national defense in the process. One of the protester's lawyers claimed the statute shouldn't apply since Y-12 is not a military base, but a private contractor site Prosecutors also filed a motion that wouldn't allow the protestors to talk about intent or motives for the crimes.But Judge Richard Shirley told lawyers he wouldn't exactly limit the discussions of intent. "I did feel that the judge is more open to hear our case," said Boertje-Obed. "It's not a matter of trying to gain an advantage, but getting out the truth and the whole truth," said Ralph Hutchison of the Oak Ridge Peace Alliance.
Pre-sentencing agreements allow the protestors to stay in East Tennessee until next week.On Thursday night, they are scheduled to speak at a campus ministry at Maryville College, and on Saturday there will be a special meet and greet event held for them at St. James Episcopal Church in Knoxville.
The judge will rule on the some of the motions soon. Responses could come within 30 days.
The trial is scheduled to start on May 7.

Albany - - A former teacher arrested in Camilla for child molestation will not work in Dougherty county schools.
Terrance Keaton Jones was a band director in Mitchell county. He applied to work at Monroe High School in Albany.
The school board considered hiring Jones until they learned about his arrest on child molestation and statutory rape charges. He accused of having sex with a 15-year old student.
"We had an applicant who was qualified, who passed the background check, who passed the Board, the board approved hiring him, but found out he had some legal difficulties so the job offer was rescinded and he never signed a contract," says Deputy Superintenent Carlos Keith.
Keaton also worked as an assistant director for the South Georgia Wildcat's Marching band. He was released from the Mitchell County jail on a $20,000 dollar bond.

Law Prof Volokh Argues Google Has a Free Speech Right to Determine Search Results
Posted May 14, 2012 6:00 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Search engines have the same First Amendment rights to determine their results as newspapers do to choose news stories, according to a white paper co-authored by UCLA law professor and First Amendment expert Eugene Volokh.
The paper (PDF), commissioned by Google, is likely aimed at preventing the government from regulating search results on antitrust grounds, reports PaidContent.org. The white paper asserts that antitrust law is limited by the First Amendment "and may not be used to control what speakers say or how they say it." That protection extends to decisions to exclude advertising based on content, Volokh writes.
The Federal Trade Commission is reportedly investigating whether Google is abusing its dominance to promote its own products, such as YouTube and Google Maps, according to the Hill's technology blog Hillicon Valley.
The white paper, posted at the Volokh Conspiracy blog, lists Mayer Brown partner Donald Falk as co-author.
Hat tip to Poynter.

Yes, there is a reason for that: Lee Harvey Oswald.
Whaddya mean, "or"?
That makes sense; now I understand why even the left-hand side asterisks (which I used literal strings to render) look different from line to line — sometimes they're bolded as carryover from the right-hand side of the previous line.
Interesting. It seems that the comments parser does weird things with strings of multiple asterisks.
** => *
*** => **
**** => **
***** => **
****** => ***
Even stranger still, the results on the right side kept changing as I went through multiple iterations of Preview.
Go figure.
Do not troll rate (rating as 0) another user's comment unless it is a comment that is an attack on another user. Abusing this privilege will result in all your ratings being erased and/or getting a warning, or being banned.
There seems to be a fairly large problem with this formulation, in that it doesn't seem to allow for zero-rating comments that clearly deserve it, but which don't mention other users.
For instance, suppose that someone simply cuts loose with a horrid, profanity-filled, obscene screed about Hillary Clinton, calling her a... well, calling her all kinds of words which I do not use, but which should be easy to imagine. Or heaping racial epithets upon Barack Obama. Or hate speech directed at, say, Iraqis.
There is not a single reasonable community-moderated site in existence where such things would not be buried under an avalanche of zeros or their local equivalent; and yet, under the guidelines you've listed there, none of them could be zero-rated (unless there is an actual Iraqi user here, I suppose, in which case the last one could possibly be).
Similarly, what if someone were to spam the same trollish message over and over, say, twenty or thirty times in a single diary? Even if the comment itself was barely on the "1" side of the 0/1 border, what kind of cockeyed community moderation system would not allow it to be zeroed out as a result? Hell, even non-trollish comments are generally considered to become trollish when spammed.
This is pretty basic stuff.
A community moderation system which, to grab an admittedly extreme hypothetical example, wouldn't allow someone posting "NANCY PELOSI IS A **-LOVING ** ***!!!!" fifteen or twenty times in a single diary to get all fifteen or twenty of those comments hidden, is a community moderation system with some pretty serious flaws.
The astounding thing about Romney, in comparison to McCain, is that it took John McCain eight long, painful years to transform himself from a conservative Republican into George W. Bush; but it only took Mitt Romney something like 48 hours to transform himself from a pro-choice anti-gun liberalish republican into George W. Bush.
That sort of gymnastic ability is rare indeed to behold.
Well, to be fair, Governors have traditionally (or at least recently) had much more luck running for President than have Senators. I mean, it's been, what?, Forty-eight years since a sitting Senator won a Presidential election? So in that respect, a relative lack of Congressional candidates shouldn't be very surprising.
Ahhhh, my bad. They did recommend that libelous piece of drivel.
Well, that explains that, then.
That hide rating — by someone a full 15000 users newer here than me, for what it's worth — is the first one I've ever gotten.
And the person who delivered the rating in question didn't even Recommend the diary in question. Go figure.
Heh. At the top, a sea of people; at the bottom, people in the sea.
Judicial Watch is one of exactly two right-wing activist groups that have any real credibility (the Rutherford Institute is the other).
Yes, they were an over-the-top pain in the ass when Bill Clinton was President; but, unlike all of the other Republican hit groups who suddenly evaporated or forgot their ostensible deep concerns over the fate of America once Bush slipped in to the White House, Judicial Watch actually kept on being a pain in the ass. They worked with the Sierra Club to try to pry the records of Dick Cheney's energy task force out of the White House, just for starters, and they've continued to poke away at the most secretive "administration" in history (albeit with no more real success than anybody else who has been trying to force some measure of accountability on the Bush White House).
As for the Rutherford Institute — the folks who brought the world Paula Jones — they have morphed into fairly outspoken critics of the Bush junta across a wide variety of civil rights issues. They filed amicus briefs alingside the ACLU in Hamdam; they've hammered the Patriot Act repeatedly (dubbing the whole War on Terror as "Operation Eroding Freedom"); and they've published editorials supportive of the Supreme Court's decision in Lawrence v. Texas (!); and, more recently, in defense of Jeremiah Wright. These days, they seem to be essentially a parallel version of the ACLU which simply has different opinions on the precise boundaries of the Establishment clause, and, unfortunately, Roe v. Wade. But even with their divergent view of the Establishment clause, they still actually do recognize that there should be a separation between Church and State (which is why they felt Lawrence was correctly decided, for instance), which certainly puts them one-up on most theocon legal advocacy groups.
Anyone who would Rec that disgusting piece of garbage should be ashamed.
Emphasis on "should," of course, because they obviously have no actual shame.
By the way, Jonathan, what makes you think that this makes the Obama-Hamas attack "off the table for McCain and the hard right?" When have they ever thought twice about dishonest attacks before?
The all-time exemplar of this was the Mel Martinez vs. Betty Castor Senatorial race in Florida in 2004, where the right-wing idiots kept attacking Betty Castor because, as President of the University of South Florida, she failed to fire Sami Al-Arian, a tenured professor, back in the mid-1990s when the Tampa Tribune accused him of having ties to — wait for it — Hamas.
Okay. So she didn't fire a tenured Professor (against whom no criminal charges had been filed) back in 1995 or so.
By contrast, her opponent, Mel Martinez, had introduced Al-Arian to George W. Bush and invited him to the White House, several years later (obviously), in both 2000 and in 2001.
In anything even remotely resembling a logically consistent universe, that would pretty much take Al-Arian off the table as a GOP talking point in the election, right?
Hahahahahahaha. Riiiiiiight.
If Karl Rove were caught eating babies tomorrow, the GOP would be airing an attack ad by next week accusing Barack Obama of having ties to Karl Rove.
In that case, since the offending callout has now been removed, why is the troll rating still there?

Everything you are about to read below does not apply if you are not planning on seeing the girl again. In the case of a one night stand or a drunken hookup, don't worry about being "good" in bed. That's your time to be selfish, so press on you two hump chump! BUT if you want to get a girl back in the sack, or you're having issues with your girlfriend then pay attention.
1. Men often assume that women don't have a sex drive that is equivalent or even comparable to that of a man. Given the prevalence or internet pornography, strip clubs, and prostitutes, this is an easy misconception to attain. The harm in thinking that women don't want sex as much as you do comes when it affects your confidence. We all know that confidence is key. You need to approach women as though they want it just as much as you, but take care to keep in mind that they go about it differently. If you attempt to turn her on the way you would want to be turned on, you fail. If she gets the impression that you're thinking about what's in her pants before she thinks about what's in your pants, you fail. This segways nicely into my next point.
2. You can't skip foreplay. Somethings can be compressed, such as air. Somethings cannot be compress, such as water and foreplay. To a woman, foreplay is as important as sex. To men, foreplay means next to nothing and so they try to trim it down. It's an understandable thing to if you live by what you see on the movies. But real life sex seldom plays out as it does in movies. Understand that nature favors males who disseminate their DNA as quickly and widely as possible. Evolution works that way for men. For women it's different. Nature favors women who mate with men that stick around. See where this is going? Pretend her genitals don't exist. If you're observant, then you'll recognize the right time to acknowledge them. The longer the foreplay is the better. And foreplay doesn't necessarily have to be sexual. I'm sure all the creative ones out there will find ways to extend foreplay to several hours before insertion. Those who do will receive payoff.
What about afterplay? Well afterplay is anything that doesn't involve leaving. Cuddling, namely. If you do it, you're more likely to get with her again and more likely to get into a relationship. If you're already in one, then you probably like afterplay…chump.

LAWTON, OK._Harley Davidson riders from all over the state flooded the parking lot of the Great Plains Coliseum on Saturday, all riding in honor of those who serve our country.
Each year the HOG Rally gives riders a chance to get a look at their fellow bikers rides and to see old friends.
But in this year's rally theme "Remembering Our Fallen," bikers say they are riding for a bigger purpose; in appreciation for the military and for all they do.
It I not unusual for soldiers to be bikers...and bikers to be soldiers.
It is almost an American tradition.
"You here the rumble of the motors and the revving in the background and ironically at Fort Sill it sounds a lot like the rolling thunder that happens in hills here in the Wichita's as we do our live fires," said Lt. Col. Michael Magee.
The HOG's celebrate Harley everyday of the year, but this rally they wanted to celebrate the red white and blue...
"Harley is American made, so you gotta love 'em!," said rally coordinator Donna Hingtgen.
…And the ability to not just live free....but ride free.
"We're definitely patriotic. We definitely love our veterans and our active military. They allow us to have the freedom to ride these motorcycles," said Hingtgen.
Lt. Col. Michael Magee fights and rides for freedom everyday.
It started when his father returned from World War II and bought himself a Harley.
"He bought a 1948 WL and it looks a lot like my Heritage Spring which is in the garage right now!," said Magee.
Magee says his father was his inspiration to join the U.S. Army, and another very American organization...the Harley Owners Group.
"It's American! It's the American dream and really, look at our history, Harley riders were on the battle field and they've always been behind the military since then and probably forever. It's really a nice part of history to be a part of," said Magee.
Magee says the support he feels when his fellow bikers rally around him and his comrades make riding that much more of a thrill.
In fact, rallying together is what Donna Hingtgen says Harley Davidson is all about; helping a fellow biker...or comrade out.
"If somebody needs something they're right there to help out, and I can guarantee if somebody dropped their bike right now everybody would run up. We're a family," said Hingtgen.

[Journal of the Simplified Spelling Society, 1993/1 p29-33 later designated J14]
[See Journal and Newsletter articles, Pamflet 15 and Cut Spelling by Chris Upward.]
Chris Upward revews
AgiliWriting - the readable shorthand of the English language.Anne Gresham: AgiliWriting - the readable shorthand of the English language, London: Agilityping Ltd, 1990, ISBN 1-872968-00-7, £9.95. This revew is ritn in Cut Spelng.
ALFABETIC SHORTHAND.Th AgiliWriting self-tuition handbook explains, and givs practis in using, a new shorthand systm based entirely on th letrs of th roman alfabet. It is by defnition therfor of direct intrest to spelng reformrs, ofrng as it dos an inovativ way of riting english that has a numbr of practicl advantajs.
Th first advantaj is that, as required for any shorthand systm, its spelng requires far fewr caractrs than th Traditionl Orthografy (TO) of english. Wile Cut Spelng (CS) saves only around 10% of th letrs used in TO, AgiliWriting (henceforth AW) claims a saving of som 40%.
Th secnd advantaj is that, unlike non-alfabetic shorthands such as Pitmans, Gregg or T-Line, AW shud in principl be readbl by anyone litrat in english. How esily it can be red in practis by th uninitiated may be jujd from th foloing sampl from th bak covr of th book:
W hv plzr n sndg u detls v th gds on spzl ofr untl th end v ths mnth;but even if it is a strugl to read, AW is clearly accesbl, wher non-alfabetic shorthands ar totaly inaccesbl without lengthy trainng.
A third advantaj of AW is that, since it uses only th letrs of th roman alfabet, it can be kebordd to a word-procesr (or even a typriter). This featur is then valubly complmntd by a computer program cald AgiliTyping, wich autmaticly converts text in AW into TO for editng or printng out.
It is perhaps this third advantaj wich may equip AW for th modrn aje, wher non-alfabetic shorthands ar becomng incresingly obslete. Wher ther is a need for spoken languaj to be recordd in riting at th speed of speech (eg taking minuts at meetngs, or notes of talks) for subsequent typng up, then it is a considrbl gain for ther no longr to be any uncertnty over decyfrng, and for th decyfrng and typng up (ie printng out) to be don imediatly, relybly and autmaticly. And if typng up is don from a dictafone recordng, then th gretr speed of AW again givs a notebl gain in eficiency. One may even speculate that a systm like AW cud rendr th efrts of foneticians and computer experts almost redundnt, ho hav for so long been struglng to produce a usebl systm of machine recognition of speech. And in employmnt terms, AW wud hav th advantaj of not rendrng secretris redundnt.
One may ask if ther is not a practicl drawbak, in that wheras the Pitman secretrys only equipmnt was a pencil and notepad, th AW secretry shud idealy hav a kebord to hand at al times if th advantajs of th systm ar to be fuly realized. But now that laptop computers ar widely availbl, even that is no longr th obstacl that it myt hav been up to five years ago.
It is howevr not only traditionl shorthand with wich AgiliWriting needs to be compared. Inventd as long ago as 1906 and used for instnce for recordng th delibrations of parlamentry Select Comitees (as seen on TV), th stenotyp machine has som of th qualitis of AgiliWriting. It is a systm that uses only th letrs of th alfabet, and is intelijbl to othr users of th systm (se David Crystal The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language, p207 for a brief acount). It wud be instructiv to hav a comparativ evaluation of AgiliWriting and stenotypng.
SOM DOUTS ABOUT TH SYSTM.So far, so good. Howevr, wen th spelng reformr coms to study th AgiliWriting handbook, certn limitations soon com to lyt. Th first is that ther is litl explnation of th rationale behind th spelngs used, som of wich at first apear decidedly countr-intuitiv. Wy shud th initial <s> of sound, for instnce, be ritn <z>? Wy shud th long valu of <a>, as in pail, be ritn <h>? Ther may be good reasns, but in th short time th presnt revewr cud spend studying AW, he was unable to discovr them. Th same frustrating lak of explnation aplys, as wil be seen later, to som sweepng merjrs of hole sets of digrafs and difthongs wich quite take th breth away with ther daring.
Perhaps, we may optmisticly surmise, ther ar exlnt reasns for th abov featurs, but one wondrs how firm a grasp th authr has of th principls of riting systms wen she describes AW, despite such peculiaritis of sound-symbl corespondnce, as 'based on fonetics'. Th most one can clearly say is that AgiliWriting dos away with many of th most outrajusly 'unfonetic' (mor strictly, 'unfonografic') featurs of traditionl orthografy. Furthr douts ar rased wen, in her expositions, th authr fails to distinguish clearly between letrs and th sounds they stand for. Howevr, here again ther may be a good reasn: it may be that she is cunngly blurng such distinctions so as not to confuse her intendd readrship, ho wil not hav an academic intrest in such nicetis.
But lastly, her own spelng dos not inspire unboundd confidnce wen we repeatdly read of dipthongs and apostrophies. Shudnt we, tho, as peple ho apreciate th endless problms TO causes, perhaps rathr take a charitbl vew of such errs?
For th spelng reformr asesng th AW handbook, a furthr slytly iritating featur is th constnt repetition of th rules, ofn using identicl wordng, with a jenrus alocation of space on each paje. Th esential systm cud probbly hav been described comfrtbly over 10 pages of norml print, rathr than th 230+ of this volume. Howevr, such repetitivness and jenrus spacing may wel be virtus in a self-tuition manul such as th AW handbook primarily sets out to be.
WHER AW AND CS AGREE.Th presnt revewr howevr regards such criticisms as quibls, wen set beside one remarkbl featur of AW. Quite independntly, Anne Gresham has com to most of th same conclusions as CS in anlyzng redundncy in TO. Th introduction to AW states that 'letters which are phonetically weak or silent' ar substituted or elimnated. And so we find a strong eco of al th CS rules thruout AW.
As by CS Rule 1 (omitng letrs unconectd with pronunciation), such forms as breath, debt, evolve, ignore, money, you ar cut in AW to breth, det, evolv, ignor, mony, u (tho curiusly it apears that write keeps its silent <w>).
As by CS Rule 2, Categry 1 (cutng post-accentul shwa befor <l, m, n, r>), abundant, bundle, doctor, filter, under, upward, urban, cultural, tolerant ar cut in AW to abundnt, bundl, doctr, filtr, undr, upwrd, urbn, cultrl, tolrnt. CS Rule 2, Categry 2 is seen in AW in th past tense <‑ed> reduced to <-d> and th <-able, -ible> endngs reduced to <‑bl> (tho TO <‑ing> reduced to CS <‑ng> is furthr cut to AW <‑g>).
And as by CS Rule 3 (simplifyng dubld consnnts) clock, spell ar cut in AW to clok, spel. And as by combnations of those CS rules, answer, battle, cotton, dagger, heighten, hidden, tackle ar cut in AW to ansr, batl, cotn, dagr, hytn, hidn, takl.
Likewise, th CS substitution rules ar observd, as in AW brij, tuf, fyt, aplyd.
GOING BEYOND CS.To reduce text by as much as 40%, far mor cuts ar necesry than ar alowd by th rules of CS, and it is intrestng to se wher they ar made in AW. As was observd in th CS Handbook, Chaptr 6, furthr econmis can be made by certn substitutions. So, for instnce, letrs can be saved by always spelng long <i> as <y>, rathr than just substituting <-ig> as in CS sy, syn, syt for TO sigh, sign, sight; and AW sezes this oprtunity, respelng for exampl TO bite, guide, knife, lied as byt, gyd, nyf, lyd (howevr this sound-symbl corespondnce is not consistntly aplyd: idle, item becom idl, itm, not ydl, ytm). Similrly, as urjd by Robert Craig for CS, th varying vowl letrs of heard, her, sir, burn (tho not, it apears, word) ar cut so that th <r> alone represents th vowl sound, givng AW hrd, hr, sr, brn. And as sevrl comntators hav urjd for CS, som pre-accentul shwa letrs ar cut too, most notebly in th unstresd prefix <con->. Th combnation of sevrl of th abov cutng rules reduces TO conserving to AW cnsrvg.
TH <W> INOVATION.A featur of AW wich shud be of particulr intrest to spelng reformrs is its inovativ use of <w>. Th linguistic lojic behind this device requires som explnation, as it may be unfamilir to many spelng reformrs.
Th letrs <w> and <y> can hav sevrl functions in TO: they can be consnnts (somtimes cald semi-consnnts or semi-vowls), as initialy in TO worry, yellow; or they can function as vowls, as <y> in worry or reply, or <w> in th <ow> digraf in yellow, allow; or they can function (like <u> and <i> respectivly) as glides, as in swayed, lanyard (compared with <u, i> havng th same glide function in suède, laniard). But wile <y> can also hav th valu of a long <i> (as in reply), TO dos not use <w> with th long valu of its vowl-letr equivlnt, wich is <u> (exept, argubly in two). Yet <u> sufrs from th heviest functionl overload of al th vowl letrs, as seen in its standrd valus in but, put, truth, music, fur, persuade. As Robert Craig has again sujestd, th letr <w> cud wel be used to reduce th overload on <u>, perhaps by taking over th latrs valu in music, and/or in truth, givng mwsic, trwth. One is reminded of th welsh spelng of ambulance, wich is ambiwlans.
Spelng reformrs somtimes object that to use <y> both as in yes and as in by is ambiguus, but they overlook th clear positionl distinction between th two valus. With its valu as in yes, <y> must initiate a sylabl and precede a vowl, wheras with its valu in by, it dos not normly do so (prevocalic ocurences of long <i, y> as in ion, iodine, dyer ar few). This grafotactic distinction between th two values of <y> efectivly ensures ther wil be no ambiguity between its valu in yes and its valu in, say, Argyll.
Th same lojic cud usefuly be aplyd to a dubl valu for <w>. If it wer used to releve <u> of one or both of its long values (wen it wud truly hav th valu of 'dubl-u'), that wud not normly ocur befor a vowl, wheras th consnnt valu of <w> by defnition must ocur sylabl-initialy befor a vowl. So th conflictng uses of <u> in cucumber, unused etc cud be resolvd by respelng such words as cwcumbr, unwsed. (Ocasionl oditis such as ww for TO woo or swwp for swoop wud howevr arise.)
AW demnstrates this use of <w> to represent thre values of <u>, namely as in put, truth, music, and ofn saves a letr in th process. Thus tube becoms twb, as oposed to tub, wich is unchanjed. Othr exampls ar bwk, bwgl, acwt, rwl for book, bugle, acute, rule. Spelng reformrs may like to explor th potential of such uses of <w>, wich hav not usuly formd part of ther armry.
TH VOWL SCALE & CONSEQUENCES.An intrestng and injenius (tho perhaps questionbl) device in AW is th vowl scale, by wich th five vowl letrs ar aranjed in ordr of precednce in th sequence <u, o, a, i, e>, with short <u> nevr (?) being cut, <o> being protectd unless th word contains a <u>, <a> havng loer status than <o>, and <i> and especialy <e> being cut al over th place. This hierarchy is rationlized in terms of th desendng ordr of 'resnnce' of these vowls, <u> thus being claimd as th most 'resnnt' and therfor most worthy of protection from cutng. Th fonetic basis for this concept is not explaind, indeed th jenrl confusion of sounds and letrs in th AW handbook makes one wondr wethr this 'resnnce' may not be at least as much a matr of th visul promnnce of th letrs as of th acustic promnnce of th sounds.
Howevr, this scale of vowls dos ofr an esily aplicbl rule for removing vowl letrs, altho th avraj spelng reformr wil be unhappy at th outcom, wich ofn results in th loss of stresd vowls and th retention of unstresd vowls. For instnce, one myt expect that in th word renovate, th first <e>, being stresd, wud survive watevr othr letrs wer cut, and that th <a>, wich carris th secndry stress, wud be mor likely to survive than th unstresd <o> hos valu is merely shwa. Howevr by its vowl-scale rule, AW produces th form rnovt. This countr-intuitiv spelng is just one of inumerabl exampls of th efects of th vowl scale.
It wud be good to no wat th justification for such forms is. Perhaps they ar adequat for this shorthand systm, inasmuch as th form rnovt may stil be recognizebl to anyone familir with TO renovate; or perhaps they ar determnd by th needs of th computerized AW-to-TO conversion program. But on th evidnce of th AW handbook those posbilitis must remain mere conjectur. One is left wondrng wethr, by aplyng othr AW rules, th form renvht myt not hav been mor apropriat.
At al events th form AW rnovt for TO renovate clearly demnstrates wy such a systm canot be considrd as a fuly flejd orthografy (tho paradoxicly, th non-alfabetic shorthand systms myt be so considrd). A propr orthografy needs to tel readrs how to pronounce words they ar not familir with, and to tel riters how to spel words hos pronunciation they no. Rnovt for renovate meets neithr of these criteria.
ALARMNG, OR DARING, FEATURS?Anothr disturbng featur of AW for th spelng reformr is th way 'majic' <e> is somtimes cut without compnsation, so that vote for instnce becoms just vot, and sage becoms just saj. Then ther is th way in wich th letrs <y> and <w> ar aplyd not just as described abov, but also to represent a wide ranje of <i> and <u> glides. Thus jovial, medium, onion becom jovyl, medym, onyn, wile fluent, poetry, ruin becom flwnt, pwtry, rwn. Ther is a certn lojicl atraction in these uses of <y, w>, but th efect is so daring that th avraj spelng reformr is likely to react to them as wud th most dyd-in-th-wool orthografic conservativ. Suspicion is then likely to turn to outryt rejection of such forms wen we find that day, may, say ar cut to dy, my, sy, and <w> is brot into service for al th vowls in broad, foil, count, draught, givng AW brwd, fwl, cwnt, drwft.
Undrlyng this featur of AW is of corse th major deficiency of TO - that ther ar nowher near enuf letrs in th roman alfabet to represent al th 40+ fonemes of english unambiguusly, th deficiency being particulrly acute for vowls. In jenrl TO resorts to digrafs to deal with th problm, but also makes som positionl distinctions. AW adopts a difrnt solution: it cooly alocates a singl letr, such as <w>, to stand for a wide ranje of difrnt sounds. Dos that matr, especialy if AW works in practis? On th evidnce of th AW handbook, we ar perhaps not entitled to conclude that it dos matr. Posbly this daring device is based on a quite briliant new insyt. It wud be nice to no.
OTHR ABREVIATIONS + TEXT SAMPL.This revew of AW has not don ful justice to th systm by any means. It has not discusd its extensiv patrns of abreviation ('Shorts' and 'Strings'), but at this point a few lines of AW must sufice to giv an impression of them in th context of th ful systm.
Th foloing TO text:
The instructions for the operation of our Ideal instruments appear on pages 6 to 9 of the illustrated leaflet. Kindly indicate your intentions by initialling on the index each item in which you are interested. We will invoice you for any increases or incidentals.apears as folos in AW:
Th nstrucns fth oprhzn v ur Idyl nstrmnts apr on pjs 6 t 9 v th ilstlrhtd lflt. Kndly ndct y ntnzns bi nshlg on th ndx ech itm n wch u r ntrstd. Wwl nvz u f ny ncrzs or nzdntls.Th linkng of two seprat short words, as in fth for of the and wwl for we will is remnisnt of Harry Lindgrens radicly streamlined systm, Fonetic B. It is also noticebl how th shortr words alow a typograficly far mor compact text, with many mor words on each line than in TO. But in terms of readng sycolojy one must say that recognizebility for th initiated, rathr than decyfrbility for th uninitiated, is th ke quality of AW spelngs.
VALU.This revew has anlyzd AW as a riting systm, indeed to som extent even as a potential reformd orthografy for english, wich is of corse unfair. Th conclusion reachd is that wile AW contains many useful and som hyly orijnl featurs that ar wel worth considrng for a reformd orthografy, it also contains (inevitbly for a shorthand systm perhaps) many featurs wich wud be simply perverse if desynd for norml use. But such criticisms of AW ar unfair, both because we hav not discovrd th rationale behind som of those featurs, and because we hav not realy atemtd to juj AW for th purpos for wich it was desynd, namely as a shorthand systm. Such evaluations must be made by othrs, that is by teachrs, lernrs and practitionrs of shorthand. Spelng reformrs wud howevr no dout be intrestd in th results of a proprly orgnized professionl test.
Anne Gresham is currently workng on an even mor radicly abreviated version of AW, to be cald Agili+Plus. It wil be fasnating to se wat furthr cuts she manajs to make in th spelngs.
Meanwile, we may end by wondrng wethr, just posbly, AW myt hav been a betr systm even by its own lyts (ie it myt hav been mor readbl) if it had taken on bord som of th basic principls of regulr riting systms. Th most notebl: that th sycolojy of readrs and riters is il-servd if th stresd vowl-letr in a polysylabic word is deleted, wile an unstresd vowl-letr is left unscathed. Th reasn is that th success of alfabetic riting systms depends crucialy on a transparent relationship between ritn letrs and spoken sounds, and stresd vowls represent th fonlojicl cor of spoken english. It is th failur of english to observ this principl itself, aftr al, that is th fundmentl cause of its problms today. Can a shorthand systm that uses only th letrs of th alfabet be exemt from such considrations?
Th ansr may wel be, 'yes', as english jenrly is nown to be stil lejbl with al vowl-letrs removed. At al events, it is hoped that this revew has aroused intrest in AW as a powrful systm that probbly has strengths that hav not been adequatly elucidated here. We shal be intrestd to lern of its progress.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – A WALB News Ten viewer is offering to help an Albany State international student athlete who just found out the University pulled his scholarship.
Daniel Machooka is from Kenya. He spent the last year and a half at ASU on an athletic scholarship running track and cross country. When he returned to campus last week, he learned he's no longer a student because he failed to update his address on a campus website.
He has no place to live, no money, and nowhere to go. Brittany Burnette saw the story at eleven last night and felt compelled to help.
"I wanted to reach out 'cause I feel like if it was me, I would want somebody to help me out or if it was my child, I would want somebody to help him or her out. It just compelled me to want to give and reach out in any way possible," said Burnette.
Machooka told us the university plans to give him a plane ticket to Kenya, but he doesn't know when that will happen. Officials at Albany State University would not comment, citing privacy laws.

---- — It's an eye-catcher, for sure.
Visitors to the Bradford Rail trail who pass by the back of Arthur Sharp's True Value hardware store can't help but notice the handiwork of Haverhill High School students.
Guided by a professional mural artist, the students created scenes of nature sprinkled with plants and wildlife you might encounter along the trail. Hawks, eagles, geese and turkey vultures soar above tranquil scenes dotted by deer and beavers and turkeys, a fox and other animals, transforming what was a blank wall into a stunning vision of nature.
Even more art is planned for the trail, as the ultimate goal is to expand this walking and biking path and create a loop that will carry visitors from one side of the river to the other. Eventually the trail may be extended into Groveland. The Team Haverhill and Friends of the Bradford Rail Trail organizations have proposed incorporating even more art into the trail.
The mural that students worked on from January to May under the guidance of local artist Elizabeth Persing was installed on the back of the store last week. An official dedication is planned for October.
The mural is drawing the attention of people visiting the trail.
A dozen students with a flair for art participated in an Access 21 after-school project in which they gathered twice a week at the Burnham School and worked in a basement cafeteria converted to a temporary art studio.
Tina Fuller, director of the city's Access 21 program, said the project combined community service, art and biology.
Working on 12 4-by-8-foot panels, the students painted images of native plants such as sumac trees and cattails and animals such as deer, foxes, coyotes, great blue herons, eagles, turtles and turkey vultures.
"We contacted the city's conservation office and Mass Audubon for ideas as to what to include and we also thought about animals and plants we have seen ourselves in the area," Fuller said.
The panels were recently mounted on the back wall of Arthur Sharp, which is next to the rail trail, creating an 80-foot-long by 15-foot-high mural.
The Haverhill Foundation for Excellence in Education paid a painting contractor to prepare and prime the building's back wall. A group of adult volunteers painted the background and did some repair work on the windows and sliding rear door. Fuller said Patrick Lane, the store's owner, was pleased with how the mural looked and told her he might put a picture of it inside his store as a way to bring attention to the mural and the rail trail.
Persing was chosen as the Artist in Residence for the project and was assisted by Ellen Mullane, who teaches art at Haverhill High. Haverhill High School art teacher Susan Blim also contributed to the mural and was recently working with students at the high school to create three-dimensional images of trees out of metal.
One of the "trees'' will be used to disguise a furnace vent pipe that runs up the back wall of the store, while the other trees will be attached to sections of the mural.
The next step in the project is to create a key to the plants and animals on each panel so people can identify what they might encounter along the trail, Fuller said.
Money for the project comes from a $5,000 grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and a $1,508 grant from the Haverhill Cultural Council, as well as from other sources.
Access 21 is an after-school program at Haverhill High School funded by a 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Experimental psychology
|Experimental psychology
|Experimental psychologists regard psychology as a natural science; research is conducted with the help of experimental methods. The concern of experimental psychology is discovering the processes underlying behavior and cognition. Experimental psychology is a methodological approach rather than a subject and encompasses varied fields within psychology. Experimental psychologists have traditionally conducted research, published articles, and taught classes on neuroscience, developmental psychology, sensation, perception, attention, consciousness, learning, memory, thinking, and language. Recently, however, the experimental approach has extended to motivation, emotion, and social psychology. - definition adapted from Wikipedia

The Los Angeles-based Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law has filed a petition to the United Nations on behalf of hundreds of prisoners kept in solitary confinement in California prisons and subject to treatment amounting to torture and violating international human rights norms.
March 16, 2012
The new CDCR proposal will only make things worse by creating the Security Threat Group (STG) designation so as to place thousands more in Ad/Seg-SHU-type units. It's the only way for CDCR and CCPOA (guards' union) to recoup some of the loss sustained from the prison population reduction forced by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in May of 2011.

In light of the Mitchell Report's imminent release, maybe you guys could help me suss some things out re: PED use.
Specifically, just what are PEDs? Is it just an umbrella term for HGH and steroids, or is there some nuance I'm missing? I've even read somewhere that the term "Performance-enhancing drugs" isn't even a legitimate legal term. How accurate is that, for you lawyer types out there?
And supposing that it is true, are there different punishments for HGH use/distribution and steroid use/distribution?
Thanks in advance. I figure you all are a much better resource for this sort of stuff than yahoo answers or fluther.

Congratulations and a new tshirt.
As a Bills fan this season I've had little to no reason to care about football this (last 13) season(s). So I've decided to do something about it. Every time a player absolutely destroys the Bills he will get a tshirt made in his honor. So come on down Russ Wilson, you're the first recipient of this award.

NEWBURYPORT | When Arthur S. Page walks through Newburyport's bustling downtown these days, in his mind he can still see what the city's commercial center looked like 50 years ago.
"Newburyport was in bad shape," Page recalled in a recent interview. "Inn Street looked like a bombed-out street in Europe after World War II. All the buildings were in bad repair. Many of them were uninhabitable."
But if the once-thriving city had fallen on hard times by the 1950s, the insurance company Page had taken over from his father was booming. It had outgrown its office space on Pleasant Street, and Page was looking for a new office location. In 1959 he moved into the building at 57 State St., and shortly afterward began renovating the building, an early investment in a struggling downtown that was still a decade away from its comprehensive revitalization.
"I'd like to think that I was far-sighted and I was investing in the downtown because I saw all the changes coming," Page said. "But that's not true. In 1960, I was 31 years old, and I didn't know any better. I just needed the space."
The building at 57 State St. had been built in 1853. A hardware store originally occupied the first two floors, while the top floor housed Newburyport's Company A Cushing Guard, a unit that later distinguished itself in the Civil War battle of Antietam. Over the next 24 years, the building changed hands several times, being used for a period as a carpet warehouse.
In 1877, the building was bought for $8,300 by the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization for veterans of the Civil War. A severe gale blew the roof off the building in 1882, and it underwent renovations. As the generation of Civil War veterans began to die through the early 20th century and membership in the Grand Army of the Republic diminished, the building was transferred to its successor organization | the Sons of Union Veterans | which continued to use the top floors of the building, leasing the ground floor to a dry-goods store.

Look of downtown signs a calculated process
The NRA had the power to make virtually all downtown signs conform to the new look of Newburyport. At the NRA's insistence, the sign at Bob's Subs eventually came crashing down in 1976.
Long path to Merrimac Landing
Vision for 'Parcel 8' crystallized after several failed attempts to develop lot.
Parcel 8: Urban renewal's only new building in downtown Newburyport
Merrimack Landing at 1 Merrimac St., opposite the Firehouse Center for the Arts, was completed in 1984, but not before three other development projects were tried and failed on what was known for many years as urban renewal Parcel 8.
Synergy brought mayor, NRA head together
Port in Progress
Bradshaw brought new direction to NRA
Jack Bradshaw assumed the chairmanship of the Newburyport Redevelopment Authority, the board charged with finding a developer to revitalize a then-gasping downtown.
"While we'll be happy and willing to meet with any group regarding the selection of developers, we do have the final vote as to what will happen," Bradshaw said after being unanimously elected by his fellow members.

Plane through: Cessna lands on Houston golf course
HOUSTON (AP) — An area near the 11th hole at a Houston golf course provided a smooth landing spot after a small plane ran out of fuel and glided on to the grass.
The Cessna 170 was expected to be moved from Hermann Park on Tuesday. The unplanned landing of the single-engine plane happened Monday night on a flight from Lafayette, La.

Germaine Greer will take questions at a special show in Runcorn's Brindley (From Runcorn and Widnes World)

Renowned broadcaster and feminist Germaine Greer coming to Runcorn
7:30am Thursday 16th January 2014 in News By Barbara Jordan, Chief Reporter
RENOWNED broadcaster, academic and feminist Germaine Greer is coming to Runcorn's Brindley next month.
She is just one of the high profile names celebrating the theatre's 10th birthday.
The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant is the latest in a series of 'audience with' shows, following Michael Portillo, Ann Widdecombe and the late Mo Mowlam.
Forty years ago, Germaine saiD it seemed that women were about to take their rightful place in the world, in parliament, the church, the judiciary and workplace, but when you open your newspaper now you find that news is still made by men in suits.
She argues that as soon as girls accept the size, role and shape of adult women, they begin to disappear.
Greer stated in her famous book, The Female Eunuch, that women do not realise how much men hate them, and how much they are taught to hate themselves.
Her show promises to be thought-provoking and will include a question and answer session.
It starts at 3pm on Sunday, February 16. Tickets priced £14, £12 are available from the box office on 0151 907 8360 or online at thebrindley.org.uk

Jill, 25
What is the best way to pick up someone at a climbing gym?
Climb on routes nearby him or her throughout the night so there's an excuse to exchange idle comments while you're climbing.
What are some special skills that rock climbers have that make them especially good in bed?
We can stand comfortably on small ledges and edges (bathtub rim), counterbalance (poles, bedposts) and stem and chimney (hallways).
My girlfriend gets really loud while we're having sex and the neighbors complain. Sometimes I think she's just showing off. How do I let her know that it's embarrassing me?
Maybe the problem is you — you haven't really let yourself let loose. Maybe her letting herself be loud is the way she's found to really get off. But it's not cool to be the loud-sex neighbors all the time. Try changing your venue to somewhere where you won't disturb others or change the time of day you have sex.
I want sex much more frequently than the guy I just started dating, but I'm embarrassed to ask for it because it makes me feel needy and unattractive. What should I do?
I think it's important to be mostly on the same sexual page as your mate. If you're too incompatible with your sexual desires, that frustration will bleed into the rest of the relationship, and that's hard to repair.
What tips do you have for tending to a guy's balls?
Tell him not to buy an Alpine Bod harness. A fall in one of those always crushes the poor guys downstairs.
What's the best climbing-related sexual experience you've had?
Any climbing trip when my climbing partner is also my lover is the best. Tugging my man into the tent with me at the end of a long day of climbing is my definition of a perfect day.

I have 2 word for AB-- here it comes-- Shut up!! I'm sorry if I was getting paid 9.4Mil I would say I love the Bucs.
Sounds like he is quite concerned he wont match his 08 numbers
" Do any of you like the idea of working with a new boss, who is about to implement a new style at work, even though you thrived under the prior management?" I have done that for 20 years since I'm in the military and can get killed for my country and don't get paid anywhere that kind of money. I look at our country and what it is going through right now and his is complaining about 9.4 million dollars for a game. I'm not saying he not worth it for the Bucs but please don't complain about the teams direction and you are worried about the QB and palying for a "show me" contract when the team brought back into football.
He's practiced with McCown, so he may very well be concerned...
http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/03/30/antonio-bryant-calls-his-situation-unfair/Here is the link and you can knit pick all you want. All I'm saying is he needs to count his luck stars that the Bucs signed him last year and that they Franchised him to a hefty raise to $9.4 million.
9.4 mil isnt a bad number. Im pretty sure I wouldnt be complaining about it.

16 ounces tofu, firm
4 cups broccoli florets
3 teaspoons sesame oil
8 scallions
3 cloves garlic
1 jalape�o pepper
3 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons almonds, lightly toasted
2 cups brown rice, cooked
To drain the tofu, place tofu on a plate and cover with another plate. Apply pressure by placing weight, such as canned food, on the top plate. Keep pressure on for 30 minutes to remove free water. Then cut tofu into cubes.
While the tofu drains, steam the broccoli for 5 minutes, or until tender. Set aside.
On a cutting board, slice the almonds and set aside. Using the same cutting board, thinly slice the scallions and chop the garlic.
Using gloves, halve peppers and remove seeds. Then finely chop.
In a wok on high heat, heat 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Add the tofu and pan fry, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until slightly brown. Transfer the tofu to bowl and set aside.
Set the heat between medium and high and, to the same wok, add 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Add the scallions, garlic, pepper, and broccoli and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, almonds, and tofu, and saut� with other ingredients for 1 minute.
Serve immediately by placing 1/2 cup brown rice on each plate and dividing the stir-fry in four equal portions.

The sale of the Cleveland Browns continues to move quickly and could be approved by the start of the regular season, according to a report from Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Part of the reason the process is moving so quickly is potential new owner Jimmy Haslam III has already gone through the NFL's vetting system approving him as a possible owner. Haslam went through the process in 2009 when he purchased a minority stake in the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Haslam, who will reportedly purchase the team for $920 million, could be the new majority owner in time for the Browns' opening game against the Eagles. Before that happens, a committee of NFL owners would have to meet to approve the sale. According to Cabot's report, that meeting could occur sometime in August or early September.
For more on the Browns, visit Dawgs By Nature and SB Nation Cleveland.
