The Funny Company, a syndicated cartoon from the Ken Synder studio, was one of two shows debuting in 1963 that was a response to FCC chairman Newton R. Minow's comment that television was a "vast wasteland." It was an "edutainment" show, like the other show debuting the same year, Tennessee Tuxedo And His Tales on CBS.Buzzer Bell was the president of the Company, which was an offshoot of Junior Achievement. Through each five-minute episode, a live-action film demonstrating scientific feats, how things are made, etc., is featured. The cast includes inventor Jasper Park, treasurer Merry Twitter, Terry Dactyl (a prehistoric character in modern times), the computer Weisenheimer (who narrated the live-action bits), two Indians named Broken Feather and Super Chief, and a sweet, introverted little girl named Shrinkin' Violette.

I need to find the next available ID (or key) from a fixed list of possible IDs. In this case valid IDs are from 1 to 9999, inclusive. When finding the next available ID we start looking just after the last assigned ID, wrap around at the end - only once, of course - and need to check if each ID is taken before we return it as an available ID.
I have some code that does this but I think it is neither elegant nor efficient and am interested in a simpler way to accomplish the same thing. I'm using Ruby but my question is not specific to the language, so if you'd like to write an answer using any other language I will be just as appreciative of your input!
I have elided some details about checking if an ID is available and such, so just take it as a given that the functions
id_taken?(id), and
set_last_id(id) exist. (
incr_last_id will add 1 to the last assigned ID in a data store (Redis) and return the result.
id_taken?(id) returns a boolean indicating if the ID is available or not.
set_last_id(id) updates the data store with the new last ID.)
MaxId = 9999
def next_id
id = incr_last_id
# if this ID is taken or out of range, find the next available id
if id > MaxId || id_taken?(id)
id += 1 while id < MaxId && id_taken?(id)
# wrap around if we've exhausted the ID space
if id > MaxId
id = 1
id += 1 while id < MaxId && id_taken?(id)
raise NoAvailableIdsError if id > MaxId || id_taken?(id)
I'm not really interested in solutions that require me to build up a list of all possible IDs and then get the set or list difference between the assigned IDs and the available IDs. That doesn't scale. I realize that this is a linear operation no matter how you slice it and that part is fine, I just think the code can be simplified or improved. I don't like the repetition caused by having to wrap around but perhaps there's no way around that.
Is there a better way? Please show me!

If Tiger Woods and Nike have been a marketing machine that could not be stopped, imagine the possibilities now that Rory McIlroy has joined the team. The world's No. 1 golfer is Nike's newest addition, as McIlroy was officially introduced with the corporation on Monday (apparently that lawsuit from Oakley isn't going to be an issue.) For those of you who were wondering if this means Tiger is passing the torch to Rory, it doesn't appear that will be the case just yet. Nike hit a home run with its first commercial starring the two stars, and as you can see it ended with Tiger coming out just slightly on top. Imagine how much money Nike has made off of the Tiger Woods brand over the past decade-plus. The next five years will be even bigger. Video via Eye on Golf The post Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods star in great new Nike golf commercial (Video) appeared first on Larry Brown Sports.

|Millbrook Mardi Gras Run

Runners take off as the 5k, 8k races of the Millbrook Mardi Gras Run got underway from Millbrook Memorial Park.

The Millbrook First United Methodist Church held their annual Mardi Gras Run last weekend, eventhough the weather was less than ideal. A chilly, wet morning did not dampen the spirits of a few hundred runners participating in the 5k, 8k, and 1-mile runs. There were at least two dozen phantom runners in this event; those who pay the fee but sit out the actual run. The proceeds raised from runners and phantoms alike will be used to supplement missions for the church both local and abroad.

MISHAWAKA — Plymouth's softball season came to a close Wednesday night with a 7-1 loss to Clay at the Class 4A Mishawaka Sectional.
The Lady Pilgrims led Clay through the fourth inning as Hayley Brown had a shutout going, but the Colonials finally got to her in the fifth. Clay racked up five hits in the inning and capitalized on two errors and two wild pitches to take a 7-1 lead, which is all the runs the Colonials would need as they made that score stand up through seven.
BOURBON — The sectional pool was different for 2014, but Triton's softball team left no doubt who the best team is — again.
The 10th-ranked Lady Trojans came into the reshuffled Sectional 52 of Class 1A as the overwhelming favorite and came through in impressive fashion, defeating Hamilton by the score of 10-0 in five innings Tuesday night at Keyser Field to claim its second consecutive sectional championship.
Next up should be a very competitive regional contest on June 3 — most likely against fifth-ranked South Central. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m.
WARSAW — About this time a year ago, Kayla Shaffer wasn't even thinking about the state track finals.
"I played softball when I was a junior," says the Culver Community senior. "I didn't run track; I never really thought about it."
My, what a difference a year makes. Now, Shaffer isn't just thinking about next week's state track meet.
She's thinking about winning it.
"What have we got to lose? We'll go all out," said Shaffer, who led a remarkable Cavalier surge Tuesday at the Warsaw girls track regional.
BOURBON — The outcome was not surprising, but it was certainly no gimme.
It took near-perfect pitching and timely hitting before Triton could put away Bethany Christian for the second time in five days, this time during the Class 1A Sectional 52 softball semifinal at Keyser Field.
"Sectionals puts a little edge on things, a little tension that you don't have during a regular game," said Triton head coach Steve McBride, "but the bottom line is we are tickled to win and we move on to the next game which is what we wanted to do."
TOPEKA — The bywords for Bremen's softball team have been pitching and defense. Of course, the Lady Lions are looking pretty good at the dish, too.
Bremen's softball team started off its Sectional 35 title defense on the right foot Monday afternoon. The Lady Lions got solid pitching from their staff of Chelsea Huppert and Shannon Arndt, who were backed up by an errorless defense, and the team racked up 10 hits en route to a convincing 11-3 rout of Prairie Heights at the Westview Sectional.
BREMEN — For years, Plymouth tennis has gotten the best of Bremen.
At Wednesday's sectional opener, the Lady Lions finally found a way to break through.
Alexa Harshbarger clinched a narrow 7-6(4), 7-5 decision over Kirstin Riise at 2 singles to break a 2-2 tie, and Bremen's girls tennis team celebrated a historic win over the Lady Pilgrims at home at DeSantis Courts.

CGA, Rochester advance at CGA Sectional
CGA beat Knox 5-0, and Rochester trumped North Judson 3-2 in a pair of quarterfinal matches at the Culver Girls Academy Girls Tennis Sectional Wednesday night.
The championship match is slated for 5 p.m. today.
Defending-champion CGA topped Knox in straight sets on all courts.
North Judson's Carrigan Baxter and Tristan Fletcher stay alive at 1 doubles with their 6-0, 6-1 victory over Rosalie Navarro and Brittany Walker.

ROCHESTER — The Lady Pilgrims are back on top.
After CGA upended the then-repeat champion Plymouth girls track team last year, the Pilgrims reclaimed the Rochester Sectional championship Tuesday, showcasing some impressive depth along the way. Plymouth easily beat out second-place CGA 154.5-93.5, while Culver Community finished third with a score of 72, and Triton placed eighth with 43 points at the meet.

TUESDAY, Nov. 22 (HealthDay News) -- Post-mortem computed tomography (CT) is more accurate than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for providing a cause of death, according to a study published online Nov. 22 in The Lancet.
Ian S.D. Roberts, M.D., from John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, U.K., and colleagues investigated the accuracy of post-mortem CT and MRI, compared with full autopsy. A series of 182 adult deaths reported between April 2006 and November 2008 were investigated using whole-body CT and MRI, followed by full autopsy. Independent reporting of CT and MRI scans was done by two radiologists each, who subsequently produced a consensus report based on the techniques, recorded their confidence in the cause of death, and identified whether an autopsy was required.
The investigators found that the cause of death identified by radiology and autopsy showed a major discrepancy rate of 32, 43, and 30 percent for CT, MRI, and the consensus radiology report, respectively. The discrepancy rate was 10 percent lower for CT than MRI. Based on radiologist indications, autopsy was not required in 34, 42, and 48 percent of cases for CT, MRI, and consensus reports, respectively. Of these, there was a significantly lower major discrepancy rate, compared with autopsy, than in cases with no definite cause of death (16, 21, and 16 percent of CT, MRI, and consensus reports, respectively). Ischemic heart disease, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, and intra-abdominal lesions were the most common imaging errors observed in identification of the cause of death.
"Compared with traditional autopsy, CT was a more accurate imaging technique than MRI for providing a cause of death," the authors write.

The Portland Sustainability Institute is prepping for its next EcoDistricts Incubator. The event, at which urban neighborhood types will float sustainable living ideas, takes place May 29 through May 31.
The incubator event is a workshop at which attendees will shape neighborhood designs. The Institute's event will attract city leaders, urban designers, infrastructure experts and community development pros.
One idea of the exercise is that individual neighborhoods can serve as test subjects for sustainability strategies.
The Institute, led by Executive Director Rob Bennett, wants 10 cities to participate in this year's event. The deadline for applying is April 5.

42008-94. Ideal for retail shops as much as for weird Aunt Eunice's paperback romance collection, this unit features four multi-sided spinning racks atop a casters-empowered base! Measures approximately 77"H. In great shape!
Printed on thin but sturdy laminated boards, these lovely Asian art placemats will brighten your meal times and maybe relax you a bit. Put your leg behind your head and stare into the placemat. See? You're feeling better already.
Assorted Kids' Toys & Books!
They're snazzy, of-the-moment, lace-up shoes with rubber souls that will probably look good with your painful skinny jeans. The brand name on them looks for all the world like "eHeck," which doesn't come up on Google (and recommends we're simply misspelling "check"), so who knows; we'll e-heck on that later. European size 46 (American men's size 11).
We call him Pupperino, and he's a four-legged frequent flier at the Surplus Store because: obviously this pooch knows the better establishments of Seattle. Pupperino, we salute you!
We've got over 50 various framed football photos from the hallowed Husky football program. From team photos and action shots to coach pix and quarterbacks in full gallop, you're sure to find some great memorabilia for your home or office.
One of the many benefits of visiting the Surplus Store when it's rainy: awesome meteorological metaphors like this!
Yeah, so you may have heard that sometimes we have goats show up in the store—typically with our regular customer, Lacia, who is happy to tell you all about her endeavors in the Wide World of Goats.
42097-1. This blond wood Hamilton upright piano is the friendly bar room buddy to the Horugel's prim & proper schoolmarm. Measures 58 x 25 x 45"H.
42097-2. Shiny as the patent leather shoes on your nightmare childhood piano teacher, this sleek black Horugel upright piano delivers big sound in a relatively small package. Measures 59" x 2' x 46"H. Bench (ID# 42068-15) sold separately.
It's only recently that I have moved from stomping or squishing spiders to putting a cup over them and releasing them back into the wild to ensure Karma doesn't have me come back as a spider. But if something this size dropped out of the sky at me, there might be a stomping relapse.
We honestly have no idea. It's probably delicious with pineapple, though.
Get ready for big deals! Tuesday, November 25th is Purple Tuesday, and 99.99% of everything in the Store (except the two pianos) is 50%-off! Take 50%-off all listed prices and get something for everyone on your list! And hey, get a little something for yourself, too. You've been good.
41483-19 and -20. One of the highlights of any good high lat machine is being able to say, "Hi, lats!" to the bulging muscles you get from it (say that in a Southern accent for extra fun and confusion).
41483-1. Look at me not making a terrible pun here because folks who use this equipment are much, much bigger than me.
Regardless of where you fall on the great pop vs. soda terminology divide (sodapop, anyone?), we've now got you covered and then some. Customers have been asking for some type of drinks machine in the Surplus Store—we've heard you, and we are now happy to offer a vending machine that offers soda, pop, water, juice, and energy drinks. The vending machine accepts both cash and debit/credit cards. Automatic for the people, yo.
41252-11. Perfect for anyone looking for a bit of UW campus history because: nostalgia sure brings back memories. Measures approximately 29"-diameter.
41483-19 and -20 (lat machines), 41483-1 (leg curl). Do Millennials have their own versions of Hans und Franz? If not, then who paahmps them aaahp? We've got two impressive lat machines and one burly leg curl machine, all by Samson and all featuring appropriately purple bench padding. Hear us now und believe us later—these machines are gunna make you uh-mazing!
Surplus ID# 41635-1: World Shiver Sled.
This equipment is located in the east practice field next to Husky stadium. Equipment is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty stated nor implied.

Book Description:
"One of my very favorite authors."—Julia Quinn Breathtaking adventure and heart-stopping historical romance go hand in hand in Rules of an Engagement, the third novel in the red-hot Regency Era-set series from New York Times and USA Today bestseller Suzanne Enoch. The dynamic and supremely sexy Captain Bradshaw—who previously graced the pages of Enoch's earlier romance novels The Rake and England's Perfect Hero—finally gets the starring role that fans have been clamoring for, as the bold naval officer finds himself charged with ferrying a boatload of aristocrats…and discovers that resisting the charms of one bewitching passenger is far more difficult than battling brigands.

mikejuk writes The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is tiny and only has 302 neurons. These have been completely mapped, and one of the founders of the OpenWorm project, Timothy Busbice, has taken the connectome and implemented an object oriented neuron program. The neurons communicate by sending UDP packets across the network. The software works with sensors and effectors provided by a simple LEGO robot. The sensors are sampled every 100ms. For example, the sonar sensor on the robot is wired as the worm's nose. If anything comes within 20cm of the 'nose' then UDP packets are sent to the sensory neurons in the network. The motor neurons are wired up to the left and right motors of the robot. It is claimed that the robot behaved in ways that are similar to observed C. elegans. Stimulation of the nose stopped forward motion. Touching the anterior and posterior touch sensors made the robot move forward and back accordingly. Stimulating the food sensor made the robot move forward. The key point is that there was no programming or learning involved to create the behaviors. The connectome of the worm was mapped and implemented as a software system and the behaviors emerge. Is the robot a C. elegans in a different body or is it something quite new? Is it alive? These are questions for philosophers, but it does suggest that the ghost in the machine is just the machine. The important question is does it scale?

HughPickens.com writes: IBM has recently delivered a string of disappointing quarters, and announced recently that it would take a multibillion-dollar hit to offload its struggling chip business. But Will Knight writes at MIT Technology Review that Watson may have the answer to IBM's uncertain future. IBM's vast research department was recently reorganized to ramp up efforts related to cognitive computing. The push began with the development of the original Watson, but has expanded to include other areas of software and hardware research aimed at helping machines provide useful insights from huge quantities of often-messy data. "We're betting billions of dollars, and a third of this division now is working on it," says John Kelly, director of IBM Research, said of cognitive computing, a term the company uses to refer to artificial intelligence techniques related to Watson. The hope is that the Watson Business Group, a division aimed making its Jeopardy!-winning cognitive computing application more of a commercial success, will be able to answer more complicated questions in all sorts of industries, including health care, financial investment, and oil discovery; and that it will help IBM build a lucrative new computer-driven consulting business.
But Watson is still a work in progress. Some companies and researchers testing Watson systems have reported difficulties in adapting the technology to work with their data sets. "It's not taking off as quickly as they would like," says Robert Austin. "This is one of those areas where turning demos into real business value depends on the devils in the details. I think there's a bold new world coming, but not as fast as some people think." IBM needs software developers to embrace its vision and build services and apps that use its cognitive computing technology. In May of this year it announced that seven universities would offer computer science classes in cognitive computing and last month IBM revealed a list of partners that have developed applications by tapping into application programming interfaces that access versions of Watson running in the cloud. Big Blue said it will invest $1 billion into the Watson division including $100 million to fund startups developing cognitive apps. "I very much admire the end goal," says Boris Katz, adding that business pressures could encourage IBM's researchers to move more quickly than they would like. "If the management is patient, they will really go far."

ashshy writes Tesla, Google, and many other companies are working on self-driving cars. When these autopilot systems become perfected and ubiquitous, the roads should be safer by orders of magnitude. So why doesn't Tesla CEO Elon Musk expect to reach that milestone until 2013 or so? Because the legal framework that supports American road rules is incredibly complex, and actually handled on a state-by-state basis. The Motley Fool explains which authorities Musk and his allies will have to convince before autopilot cars can hit the mainstream, and why the process will take another decade.

First time accepted submitter agent elevator writes In a wide-ranging interview at IEEE Spectrum, Michael I. Jordan skewers a bunch of sacred cows, basically saying that: The overeager adoption of big data is likely to result in catastrophes of analysis comparable to a national epidemic of collapsing bridges. Hardware designers creating chips based on the human brain are engaged in a faith-based undertaking likely to prove a fool's errand; and despite recent claims to the contrary, we are no further along with computer vision than we were with physics when Isaac Newton sat under his apple tree.

An anonymous reader writes The better question may be whether it will ever be ready for the road at all? The car has fewer capabilities than most people seem to be aware of. The notion that it will be widely available any time soon is a stretch. From the article: "Noting that the Google car might not be able to handle an unmapped traffic light might sound like a cynical game of 'gotcha.' But MIT roboticist John Leonard says it goes to the heart of why the Google car project is so daunting. 'While the probability of a single driver encountering a newly installed traffic light is very low, the probability of at least one driver encountering one on a given day is very high,' Leonard says. The list of these 'rare' events is practically endless, said Leonard, who does not expect a full self-driving car in his lifetime (he's 49)."

MojoKid (1002251) writes A new interview with Assassin's Creed Unity senior producer Vincent Pontbriand has some gamers seeing red and others crying "told you so," after the developer revealed that the game's 900p framerate and 30 fps target on consoles is a result of weak CPU performance rather than GPU compute. "Technically we're CPU-bound," Pontbriand said. "The GPUs are really powerful, obviously the graphics look pretty good, but it's the CPU that has to process the AI, the number of NPCs we have on screen, all these systems running in parallel. We were quickly bottlenecked by that and it was a bit frustrating, because we thought that this was going to be a tenfold improvement over everything AI-wise..." This has been read by many as a rather damning referendum on the capabilities of AMD's APU that's under the hood of Sony's and Microsoft's new consoles. To some extent, that's justified; the Jaguar CPU inside both the Sony PS4 and Xbox One is a modest chip with a relatively low clock speed. Both consoles may offer eight CPU threads on paper, but games can't access all that headroom. One thread is reserved for the OS and a few more cores will be used for processing the 3D pipeline. Between the two, Ubisoft may have only had 4-5 cores for AI and other calculations — scarcely more than last gen, and the Xbox 360 and PS3 CPUs were clocked much faster than the 1.6 / 1.73GHz frequencies of their replacements.

Jason Koebler writes Yahoo announced [Tuesday] it would be laying off at least 400 workers in its Indian office, and back in February, IBM cut roughly 2,000 jobs there. Meanwhile, tech companies are beginning to see that many of the jobs it has outsourced can be automated, instead. Labor in India and China is still cheaper than it is in the United States, but it's not the obvious economic move that it was just a few years ago: "The labor costs are becoming significant enough in China and India that there are very real discussions about automating jobs there now," Mark Muro, an economist at Brookings, said. "Companies are seeing that automated replacements are getting to be 'good enough.'"

HughPickens.com writes Highway driving, which is less complex than city driving, has proved easy enough for self-driving cars, but busy downtown streets—where cars and pedestrians jockey for space and behave in confusing and surprising ways—are more problematic. Now Will Knight reports that Michigan's Department of Transportation and 13 companies involved with developing automated driving technology are constructing a 30-acre, $6.5 million driverless town near Ann Arbor to test self-driving cars in an urban environment. Complex intersections, confusing lane markings, and busy construction crews will be used to gauge the aptitude of the latest automotive sensors and driving algorithms and mechanical pedestrians will even leap into the road from between parked cars so researchers can see if they trip up onboard safety systems. "I think it's a great idea," says John Leonard, a professor at MIT who led the development of a self-driving vehicle for a challenge run by DARPA in 2007. "It is important for us to try to collect statistically meaningful data about the performance of self-driving cars. Repeated operations—even in a small-scale environment—can yield valuable data sets for testing and evaluating new algorithms." The testing facility is part of broader work by the University of Michigan's Mobility Transformation Facility that will include putting up to 20,000 vehicles on southeastern Michigan roads. By 2021, Ann Arbor could become the first American city with a shared fleet of networked, driverless vehicles. "Ann Arbor will be seen as the leader in 21st century mobility," says Peter Sweatman, director of the U-M Transportation Research Institute. "We want to demonstrate fully driverless vehicles operating within the whole infrastructure of the city within an eight-year timeline and to show that these can be safe, effective and commercially successful."

dcblogs writes: "Gartner predicts one in three jobs will be converted to software, robots and smart machines by 2025," said Peter Sondergaard, Gartner's research director at its big Orlando conference. "New digital businesses require less labor; machines will make sense of data faster than humans can," he said. Smart machines are an emerging "super class" of technologies that perform a wide variety of work, both the physical and the intellectual kind. Machines, for instance, have been grading multiple choice test for years, but now they are grading essays and unstructured text. This cognitive capability in software will extend to other areas, including financial analysis, medical diagnostics and data analytic jobs of all sorts, says Gartner. "Knowledge work will be automated."

HughPickens.com writes "Jeremy Hsu reports that the U.S. Navy has been testing a large-scale swarm of autonomous boats designed to overwhelm enemies. In the test, a large ship that the Navy sometimes calls a high-value unit, HVU, is making its way down the river's thalweg, escorted by 13 small guard boats. Between them, they carry a variety of payloads, loud speakers and flashing lights, a .50-caliber machine gun and a microwave direct energy weapon or heat ray. Detecting the enemy vessel with radar and infrared sensors, they perform a series of maneuvers to encircle the craft, coming close enough to the boat to engage it and near enough to one another to seal off any potential escape or access to the ship they are guarding. They blast warnings via loudspeaker and flash their lights. The HVU is now free to safely move away.
Rear Adm. Matthew Klunder, chief of the Office of Naval Research, points out that a maneuver that required 40 people had just dropped down to just one. "Think about it as replicating the functions that a human boat pilot would do. We've taken that capability and extended it to multiple [unmanned surface vehicles] operating together within that, we've designed team behaviors," says Robert Brizzolara. The timing of the briefing happens to coincide with the 14-year anniversary of the bombing of the USS Cole off the coast of Yemen that killed 17 sailors. It's an anniversary that Klunder observes with a unique sense of responsibility. "If we had this capability there on that day. We could have saved that ship. I never want to see the USS Cole happen again."

The documents, written in 1983, describe a series of experimental tests (PDF) in which the CIA repeatedly interrogated its own agent using a primitive AI called Analiza. The intelligence on display in the transcript is clearly undeveloped, and seems to contain a mixed bag of predetermined threats made to goad interrogation subjects into spilling their secrets as well as open-ended lines of questioning.

HizookRobotics writes Georgia Tech researchers announced a new way robots can "sense" their surroundings through the use of small ultra-high frequency radio-frequency identification (UHF RFID) tags. Inexpensive self-adhesive tags can be stuck on objects, allowing an RFID-equipped robot to search a room for the correct tag's signal, even when the object is hidden out of sight. Once the tag is detected, the robot knows the object it's trying to find isn't far away. The researchers' methods, summarized over at IEEE: "The robot goes to the spot where it got the hottest signal from the tag it was looking for, zeroing in on it based on the signal strength that its shoulder antennas are picking up: if the right antenna is getting a stronger signal, the robot yaws right, and vice versa."

An anonymous reader writes: Speech recognition has gotten pretty good over the past several years. it's reliable enough to be ubiquitous in our mobile devices. But now we have an interesting, related dilemma: should we develop algorithms that can lip read? It's a more challenging problem, to be sure. Sounds can be translated directly into words, but deriving meaning out of the movement of a person's face is much more complex. "During speech, the mouth forms between 10 and 14 different shapes, known as visemes. By contrast, speech contains around 50 individual sounds known as phonemes. So a single viseme can represent several different phonemes. And therein lies the problem. A sequence of visemes cannot usually be associated with a unique word or sequence of words. Instead, a sequence of visemes can have several different solutions." Beyond the computational aspect, we also need to decide, as a society, if this is a technology that should exist. The privacy implications extend beyond that of simple voice recognition.

Two years after death, strong presence endures. Andrew Brandt
With all that is going on away from the field in this busy preseason, it went with little notice that Friday marked the two-year anniversary of the death of Gene Upshaw, the former Raider great and longtime chief of the NFL Players Association (NFLPA).
Of all of Upshaw's many legacies and accomplishments, the most enduring may be his negotiation of the 2006 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the NFLPA and the NFL. It is that agreement that has been and continues to be the source of labor unrest in football that is threatening the future of the game. In short, according to many owners, Upshaw did too good a job.
How did we get here?
ICONBrown was one of two dissenting votes for the current CBA.
To review, in March 2006 NFL ownership ratified the new CBA by a vote of 30-2. Ralph Wilson of the Bills and Mike Brown of the Bengals -- the two dissenting votes -- were seen as contrarians at the time, voices in the wilderness that dared to question an agreement that ensured labor peace and was an outgoing ovation to respected Commissioner Paul Tagliabue.
Soon after the ink was dry, however, more and more owners started to empathize with the initial doubt of Wilson and Brown (although they would never admit it). The deal has now been vilified as too rich for the players as the pace of rising player costs is outstripping that of team revenues.
Attention diverted
I thought Upshaw did a masterful job in diverting the owners' attention to revenue sharing while quietly slipping in the best deal the NFL players ever achieved.
On the day of that meeting that would shape our labor future, I remember calling our Packer representatives at the meeting, Bob Harlan and John Jones, every hour to see where we were on the player deal. They kept saying they were not even discussing player issues; the meeting was all about the owners revenue sharing plan. "Nothing about the labor deal?" I would ask. "No" they would respond, "We're just talking revenue sharing."
Finally, late that evening, Harlan called to say the deal was done and some of the details of the revenue sharing plan. "What about the player deal?" I asked. "Yes, that went through, but we really didn't talk much about it." My only response was "Huh?"
Strategic move
Upshaw had won. He had convinced ownership that they needed to work out their revenue sharing plan without help from the player side. He had created the specter of an uncapped year ahead that would change the way they do business irrevocably and make football look like baseball. He had invoked the ominous phrase "Once the Cap goes away, it's not coming back" that stoked fear in the room, afraid their colleagues would be Steinbrenneresqe and drive player spending to new heights without a cap to apply the brakes.
And, of course, Upshaw had used his strong and long relationship with Tagliabue to convincing him to present a deal as an outgoing homage to his tenure as Commissioner and a testament to the labor peace the two of them had created for almost two decades. Now present Commissioner Roger Goodell and new NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith are trying to develop that type of relationship, although it cannot be forced and has had some rough beginnings.
Impact lingers
The CBA finalized that day, of course, will now end two years prior to its stated expiration date as ownership opted out of the deal they ratified by a 30-2 margin two years later, in May of 2008, to bring the conclusion of the deal forward to end after this season. The deal was too good for the players. Translation: Upshaw had done too good a job.
As we now face an uncertain labor future, Upshaw's impact lives on, both in the fact the NFLPA is now housed in a building bearing his name and the source of labor unrest is an agreement that bears his signature.

"The paper stock used for these thank you cards is wonderful. It has a thickness that shows quality. The design is simple but conveys the thought behind the card. The teal/aqua ink really shows up nicely with the blackish/charcoal gray text. I also loved the diagonal stripes on the back of the card in whatever color you choose."
"I had asked to use the same font and size as the word thank you and the proof came to me exactly what I asked for. Beautiful!!!"
"I am so pleased with the quality and service that I received from the staff at Wedding Paper Divas, while ordering invitations for my daughter's upcoming Bridal shower.

The invitations and thank you cards are exactly what I wanted, personalized to perfection. I find the company to be helpful, patient, knowledgeable, friendly and they go beyond to insure customer satisfaction!!"

"I really love the custom colors that I was able to have completed on this card. The colors looked beautiful and matched my wedding colors perfectly. I was very happy that using custom colors did not cost any extra and that I was able to see what they would look like in the digital proof. The quality in paper and printing is very high and looks beautiful."
