Just how evil is ZeniMax?
[Editor's note: Brock Janikowski is currently a law school student with an interesting take on the recent ZeniMax scandal. He will be contributing to Destructoid every once and a while with features focusing on the fascinating role law plays in the world of videogames. Also, his name is Brock ... which is awesome. -Chad.]
What is in a name? If you ask indie developer darling Notch or publishing behemoth ZeniMax, they might say it means quite a lot. Mojang v. ZeniMax has kicked off, a trial that will decide the fate of the title for Notch's upcoming game Scrolls, but many of us are still shaking our heads.
With seemingly so little to gain and so much much money to lose for the parties involved, is ZeniMax really just evil, or is there something more to the story?
You've probably already read the first indications that there is more to the Notch vs. Bethesda debate than angry bloggers may have led folks to believe. Maybe it was a feeling of loyalty to Bethesda or a skepticism over what seemed like an arbitrary attack on Notch.
Regardless of the reason, since the start of this debacle I've felt a need to dig deeper. After all, Bethesda Marketing VP Pete Hines' statement that, "Nobody here enjoys being forced into this," doesn't mean much unless there is actual justification.
So, putting my legal training to the test, I dove into researching Trademark Law in an effort to understand whether ZeniMax really was an evil corporation crushing the future of gaming under its uncaring heels, or if just maybe there could be another explanation. What I found was that an issue called Trademark Maintenance may indeed be forcing ZeniMax's hand.
Trademark Law is traditionally all about protecting consumers from being confused as to the origin or composition of a product. If a trademark holder takes the time to make a mark famous, others aren't allowed to leech off that success. Therefore, if a court finds that consumers might be confused by the name of a new product, a court may find that the name infringes on the trademark holder's mark and can therefore not be used. Once a trademark holder establishes its mark though, it has to maintain the mark.
Part of Trademark Maintenance is the idea that a trademark holder must "police" its mark. If ZeniMax becomes aware another developer might be infringing upon its marks, it must address the issue, possibly by sending a letter and asking the developer to stop using the mark, or failing that, by taking the developer to court. If ZeniMax, or any corporation in this situation does nothing, a future court may find that a trademark has become "diluted" and is therefore not deserving of trademark protection.
This tends to lead to some rather ridiculous cases for companies with famous trademarks; McDonalds for example has a long history of suing the "little guy" for using names that might be "confusingly similar." Just a few cases include a man named Norman McDonald who was forced to change the name of his restaurant, and another man by the name of McAllan who won a case brought against him for opening a restaurant under his name.
ZeniMax has stated that they believe consumers could potentially be confused by the similarity between The Elder Scrolls mark and Notch's Scrolls. Is ZeniMax truly worried that people won't be able to tell the difference? Possibly, but even if the company has little fear of such confusion, allowing Scrolls to slide by could create an unfortunate precedent should a larger, future trademark issue arise.
Keep in mind as well that Notch's offer to change or alter the Scrolls name doesn't count for much in this case. If Scrolls became Scrolls: Insert Sub-Title Here the potentially confusing word "scrolls" still exists. In fact, adding something to Scrolls might make is seem even more similar to The Elder Scrolls. The only thing that would truly end this case would be Notch dropping the Scrolls title altogether, an option Notch and Mojang have yet to offer.
But Scrolls will most likely be a niche game with a niche audience, so then why spend all this time and money to litigate a case against a poor indie developer? It's the reality of Trademark Law. If you don't make efforts to maintain your mark, you may lose your mark.
I believe that Bethesda and ZeinMax are taking very little joy in this litigation, but if they are worried about the long-term survivability of The Elder Scrolls mark, the companies may well feel they have no choice but to take Notch to court. Whether or not this is right, or whether Trademark Law should be revised to avoid "trademark maintenance" litigation are entirely relevant questions to ask, but this case won't be addressing these issues.
So is ZeniMax evil? I personally don't think so, but that determination is up for debate. I think the company is following what is ultimately an unfortunate aspect of Trademark Law and Notch is suffering as a result. Maybe adherence to this flawed system still makes ZeniMax evil, but if it were a choice between potentially losing your ability to protect your famous trademark and suing an indie developer, what would you do?

"…Sometimes gives the impression of being a charter member of the cast-the-first-stone coalition…"
That's how the Wall Street Journal's editorial page described Ken Cuccinelli this morning in the wake of his very near miss.
I think it clarifies a message problem that confronts the politically active of faith. Mark Levin did not help matters when he said, "…GOP ESTABLISHMENT AND DONORS LEFT THE FIELD." But he does illustrate a point.
The word that keeps running through my mind is "winsome."
generally pleasing and engaging often because of a childlike charm and innocence
Somewhere, somehow, those of us on the conservative side of the social issues have lost that. This is a communications concern, not a policy/position concern. Yes, our opposition wants to act like anyone that holds a position contrary to theirs is definitionally not winsome, but they can only get away with that if our approach and personality permits them to.
I need to slip into preacher mode for one paragraph – it is also a spiritual issue. If we are not winsome, then somehow we are not reflecting the God we worship because He is – by definition – winsome beyond description. Think about the story to which the WSJ's description alludes, there is no condemnation from Christ; He in fact saves the accused from condemnation. There is only an urge to "go and sin no more." A lesson in winsome that. Now back to the politics.
The "GOP Establishment and donors," if dollars are the best measure, did not support Cuccinelli nearly as much as his Republican predecessor – but that does not necessarily mean they are "RINOS" or that they have abandoned socially conservative issues. It means they are searching for the right way to approach those issues and they knew that Cuccinelli was not the right way.
History never repeats itself in as much detail as we like to think it does, so Reagan nostalgia sometimes troubles me. Reagan would have likely found the current environment far more frustrating than the one he operated in. But he did have the particular thing we are talking about here absolutely right on. He made friends of his opponents and managed to stay friends with them, even when they disagreed. They liked him, even when he disagreed with them.
If there is a lesson to be learned from yesterday's results that's it. Chris Christie has a number of vulnerabilities as a candidate, but he is likable. He manages to be quite charming in the middle of his combative bombast.
Much has been made of the fact that Mitt Romney is also a very charming guy. I certainly experienced that in my meetings with him. But the public never got that image. We are quick to blame the MSM, but there are certain preconditions that make it so the MSM can get away with that. Primary among those preconditions is that Romney's supporters were often precisely as dour and condemning as the media painted Romney. Not everybody gets to meet a presidential candidate, but everybody does get to meet a supporter of a presidential candidate. People will inform their impression of the candidate on their impression of his/her supporters.
We need, desperately, to find our "happy place" again. We cannot wait for things to get better. If they are going to get better it is because we have found our way back to winsome. Not our candidate – us.

- First-Ever Trial to Assess Guantanamo Force-Feeding Begins Today (Common Dreams, Oct 6, 2014):
LONDON – An unprecedented trial to assess the legality of force-feeding methods used at Guantanamo Bay will begin today, Monday Oct 6, at 10am (EST) in courtroom 26A of the District Court, Washington DC.
The trial, in the case of Dhiab v. Obama, will be open to the public after the US Government's request to have it held in secret was denied by District Court Judge Gladys Kessler. Today's hearing comes in the wake of Judge Kessler's ruling on Friday that the US must release several hours of video footage showing cleared Syrian detainee Abu Wa'el Dhiab, who is represented by international human rights NGO Reprieve, being force-fed and manhandled to the force-feeding chair.

More flooding and transport chaos for Cornwall as Met Office drops weather warning
Posted: November 27, 2012|
Much of Cornwall was yet again battered by heavy rain and high winds last night, bringing more flooding and causing disruption to transport.
The Met Office has, however, dropped all weather warnings for Cornwall over the coming days.
See a gallery of storm and flooding pictures from Cornwall.
The Environment Agency still has the Helford and Fal rivers on flood alerts, with warnings in place for The Lizard, Penryn, Falmouth, Truro, Ladock, Tresillian and Grampound.

Lower, middle and upper river Tamar are also still on flood alerts.
Two flooded properties in Perranporth were attended by fire crews yesterday evening who removed water with a portable pump.
The A39 in Perranarworthal was closed from 4am until lunch in both directions causing traffic chaos for morning commuters.
Officers closed the road because of flooding after receiving reports that the river had burst its banks and flooded the road at the Norway Inn and at Treluswell.
The road re-opened just after noon.
First Great Western are still struggling to stabilise rail services to the Duchy, saying "due to the continued severe weather conditions into Devon and Cornwall we are still unable to operate rail services into these areas.
"Customers are advised not to travel unless absolutely necessary. Services to/from South Wales are also affected with a reduced service."
Flights out of Cornwall Newquay Airport, however, have resumed normal service.
Further flood advice surgeries will be taking place between 5pm and 7pm tonight at:
Isaac House, Tyack Road, Helston
Ladock Village Hall
Perranzabuloe Hall, Perranporth
Staff from the Environment Agency, police, Cornwall Council's localism and highways services, local councils, the voluntary sector and a range of other agencies are taking part in the surgeries which are aimed at helping people learn more about what happened and what they can do next.
Representatives from Cornwall Development Company and other business support agencies will also be on hand with advice for businesses affected by flooding.
Cornwall Council Trading Standards are urging those affected by flooding to be on the alert for 'rogue traders' and 'cowboy builders' looking to exploit the damage and devastation caused by the recent floods across the county.
Previous floods in the UK have attracted doorsteps fraudsters offering a range of flood recovery services and other assistance including tree chopping, garden clearance, guttering, tarmacing and roof cleaning. The results are always in poor quality work, disappearing cash deposits and charging for work not done.
Cornwall Trading Standards urge people to be on their guard at this difficult time and to follow five simple steps to avoid being caught out:
• Never deal with anyone who turns up at your door without an appointment.
• Ask for identification and get comprehensive contact details. A mobile telephone number is not good enough!
• Always make sure you get a written quote for any work to be carried out including written cancellation rights.
• Only pay after the work has been satisfactorily completed
• Check your chosen trader is approved by your insurance company

Lawmakers Move Ahead on Federal ID Theft Bill
Leadership in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce said they intend to bring an amended version of the DATA (Data Accountability and Trust Act) to a vote March 29. The original bill was approved by the Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection in November.
What is the proper role of legislators when it comes to data breaches? Click here to read more.
The legislation would require data brokers to set up procedures to verify the accuracy of the information they collect, and maintain and regularly monitor security systems for breaches. It would define data brokers as companies that sell non-customer data to unaffiliated third parties.
How can SMBs walk the line between cost-effective solutions and reliable security protection? Join Ziff Davis Media eSeminars, HP and PC Connection on March 29 at 4 p.m. ET, and learn how to develop an effective and affordable security and business protection strategy.
One of the most controversial aspects of the ID theft debate centers on the trigger for requiring that consumers be notified of a security breach.
In the legislation under consideration, companies would have to notify consumers if there is "reasonable risk of identity theft to the individual to whom the personal information relates, fraud or other lawful conduct."
Consumers would be permitted annual access to their information held by data brokers, and they would be allowed to have inaccurate information corrected.
The Federal Trade Commission would be required to set national security standards for data brokers. Also, the FTC or an independent auditor would review a brokers security practices following a breach.
The amended bill has the support of Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., the committees ranking Democrat.

Hand Sewn Felt Owls
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
These adorable Hand Sewn Felt Owls are a great way to get rid of any fabric scraps that are taking up space in your craft bin. You can create them for any holiday or mix and match your favorite fabrics to create something that's truly unique. You only need a little bit of fabric to create these adorable felt owls, so you'll find yourself working through your stash in no time! Hang these owls from branches or attach them to gifts.
- Owl template (I drew mine freehand-it stood about 4 1/2" long and 2 1/4" wide)
- Felt in varying colors
- Scissors
- Needle
- Thread
- Colored embroidery thread
- Sewing pins
- 5-6 cotton balls
Here's a picture of my template, in case you want to print it and use it yourself. You might have to scale it to the size you'd like.
Pin your template to the felt you'd like to use for the wings of your owl. I marked the right and left wings just in case!
Cut your wings out like so. Save all the extra pieces because you'll need them later.
Pin the middle template of your owl to the felt you'd like to use for the body of the bird. You're using the main template to help you pin your wings in place.
Using your white felt, cut out two circles, about the size of your thumb. These are for the eyes. Pin those in place on the body of the bird (remove the main template before pinning on the eyes, obviously!).
Cut out two small circles and a beak from your black felt and a little tummy (if you want!) from another shade of felt. Pin the tummy in place so your bird looks like this:
To attach the small black circles, use some colored embroidery thread and tie a knot at the end. I tied mine three times just for safe measure! Cut off the small tail and string the thread through the black dot so the knot is on the OUTSIDE. Then string it through the center of the white eye. Secure and repeat for the other eye.
Continue to sew all the other embellishments into place. Soon your little owl will look like this!:
Now it's time to assemble your owl! Place the owl face down on the back fabric. You want both front sides facing each other and the back sides facing out…that way when your turn it inside out, the front sides are on the outside!
Pin the segments of the cut templates back into place.
Sew around the template, stitching the two fabrics together. You can use a machine for this, but I didn't mind doing it by hand. Leave about 2 inches of room for stuffing.
Cut about a quarter of an inch around your stitching to remove excess fabric. Remove the template and discard. Turn your owl inside out so the wrong side is now inside and the right side is on the outside.
Pull your cotton balls apart so they're long and stringy. Stuff some into the ears of your owl first, and then stuff until he's full! Sew the hole closed and you've got yourself a cute little owl!

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- Law officers in Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi will be out in unusually large numbers during Thanksgiving week under a tri-state "Take Back Our Highways" campaign to reduce traffic deaths and injuries during the busy holiday period.
The effort will be formally announced tomorrow in Montgomery, Alabama, at a news conference. Alabama Governor Bob Riley will be joined by highway patrol chiefs from the three states as well as other law enforcement officials from counties and cities.
A news release said all available law enforcement officers from participating agencies will be on patrol duty from November 19th to the 25th.

Until Sat May 25 2013
Posted: Wed May 1 2013
A birthday banner made of sanitary towels and grotty knickers. Two gay lovers who down the communion wine and a fat girl who'd like to shit out her enemies for lunch. 'Bare' sure ain't formulaic. It isn't perfect, either – but damn, is it feisty and fun.
This defiant musical is a cult hit in the States, where it began as a rock opera in 2000. I don't know why it's taken so long to transfer here. This is essentially an extended episode of 'Glee', only the focus is on soft rock and the homosexual kids in class.
Set in a Catholic boarding school, 'Bare' tells the thwarted love story of Jason and Peter. Tough boy Jason (Ross William Wild) is still posturing as the school stud but cherubic Peter (Michael Vinsen) is ready to leap out of the closet, jazz hands akimbo. As the class rehearse for 'Romeo and Juliet', the two boys – along with their horny friends – sing through their teenage angst.
Composer Damon Intrabartolo demands a lot of a young cast, with a mixture of angry rock numbers, soaring ballads and bolshy raps. There are some inevitable dips, particularly the romantic numbers, which can sound a little treacly.
But there is so much passion and spark here. Jon Hartmere's vibrant lyrics and Paul Taylor-Mills's inventive direction bring this energetic ensemble roaring into life. Hannah Levane is phenomenal as the students' mentor, Sister Chantelle. Her gospel-infused numbers blaze with joy and suggest a world in which these two boys and their love might be warmly embraced.

Cleveland, Texas deputies kill woman threatening them with rifle
CLEVELAND, Texas - by KHOU 11 News and www.khou.com
Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies said they were forced to shoot a woman who was threatening them with a rifle Tuesday night.
Deputies were dispatched to a family violence call in the 9900 block of Slaughter Road after hearing reports of a woman who was threatening another family member with a rifle. They were also told that a woman at the location had been shot in the leg.
When deputies arrived to the scene around 10 p.m., they immediately set up a perimeter inside the residence.
A fire had been set inside the home and deputies saw a woman walking around inside and turning off lights. That woman refused to follow directions given by the deputies, then exited the home multiple times pointing a rifle, authorities said.
The last time she came out, she stumbled and fell to the ground. Deputies attempted to approach her, but she regained her balance and quickly picked up her rifle and pointed it toward deputies again. That is when the deputies were forced to open fire, striking her.
Deputies pulled the woman away from the burning home and attempted life saving measures until paramedics arrived, but were unsuccessful. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Units, Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Crime Scene Investigators, and representatives from the Texas Rangers and Montgomery County District Attorneys Office are investigating. The woman's identity is not being released until family members are notified.
It is unknown at this time if any other family members were inside the burning home.

There are currently only two Android Wear watches available for purchase, but HTC has been reportedly planning to throw its hat into the ring too. There's a new render of what may be HTC's Android Wear watch from @evleaks, and it's another square.
My, my, but it is difficult to keep a device properly under wraps these days. The latest leak for LG's 2014 flagship G3 comes courtesy of the company's own Dutch website, spotted by Netherlands enthusiast site Portable Gear. LG took the promotional page down almost immediately, but not before keen eyes managed to record pretty much everything about the upcoming phone. Spoiler alert: reading the following won't leave you many surprises for tomorrow's event in London.
The 64GB Moto X is fast becoming the latest unicorn of the Android landscape. After the graphics and code for a 64GB option were uncovered on the Moto Maker website, some leaked Sprint docs have shown up that offer more confirmation this device is going to be a thing. It's not a done deal, though.
Even though Samsung went out of tis way to make the Galaxy S5 water and dust resistant, it seems to think there is still a place for an "Active" variant this time around. The device has shown up in a few videos and it seems to be destined for AT&T in the US.
Just like last year's GS4 Active, this one has physical buttons on the front in place of the capacitive/physical array on Samsung's regular devices.
At this point there's little doubt that Motorola will be unveiling the "Moto E" at its event next week. In addition to a leak on Facebook comparing the phone to the low-end Moto G, some new information and a promotional image has come out of FastShop, a Brazilian Internet retailer. According to the specifications that briefly appeared on the site, we're looking at a phone that's very similar to the G with a redesigned case and budget-minded specs.
Motorola is set to have an event in just a few days on May 13th. Rumor has it the company will announce the Moto E, an even more affordable Android device targeted at developing markets. You don't have to wait for the official unveiling to get a glimpse of the device. A user apparently posted a pic of the Moto E on Motorola Mexico's Facebook page.
We've steered clear of many of the rumored photos of the upcoming LG flagship refresh, if only because they weren't very good or very clear. But the latest spy shots from GSM Arena look like the real deal: an "LG G3" that brings the company's top-of-the-line phone back in a bigger and more evolved form. Oh, and it's gold. Very, very gold.
Compared to the international version of the G2, this phone looks a little bigger and less rounded, and the front façade has been given an overhaul with a case-colored insert beneath the glass screen.
OEMs have tried a few times to make Android work in the notebook form factor, but the closest anyone has gotten is the Transformer line from Asus. Those are tablets first, though. The HP Slatebook 14 is a straight-up laptop running Android, and it's starring in a video demo posted by HP. Update: It looks like HP wasn't ready to spill the beans quite yet. It pulled the video from its site for the time being.

The Gilbert Unified School District is encouraging community members to offer suggestions that could possibly replace the controversial Campo Verde High School name.
The district has launched an online survey on the district Web site at www.gilbert.k12.az.us.
The survey will be available through 5 p.m. Tuesday, said district spokeswoman Dianne Bowers.
Gilbert board to reconsider high school name
Gilbert parents want high school's name changed
The name suggestions will be compiled and given to the school board, which is expected to discuss the high school name again at its Nov. 25 board meeting, Bowers said.
The school board decided last week to reconsider a name for the district's fifth high school. The district received about 80 e-mails asking the board to choose another name.
Parents said they didn't like the Campo Verde name because it didn't fit in with the area, wasn't attached to a district junior high name, and sounded too close to Camp Verde High. Parents also said they wanted to give input into the high school's name.
The new high school is scheduled to open in the fall at Germann Road and Val Vista Drive.
Deb Carr, who has three children in the district, said she was the only parent in attendance at the Oct. 28 board meeting where the board decided on the Campo Verde name.
Carr saw the original high school name list and said she "still feels there were excellent choices from that list." Some of the names were suggested by school board members, some by community members.
Discovery High, San Tan Vista High, Copper Point High and South Valley High were some of the suggestions, she said.
"I'm not sure what name I would choose," said Carr, who will likely be in the boundaries for the new high school. "I would prefer it have a unique name and not copy a name of an existing school in the district."

Terry Barnes is a public policy consultant, and his former career in government included senior ministerial advisory roles in federal and Victorian governments. He was senior personal adviser to two federal health ministers, Michael Wooldridge (1993-97) and Tony Abbott (2003-07).
Posted| Updated
Since the budget the Abbott Government has lost a mountain of political capital for little or no gain. So as it ends 2014, what does it need to do in 2015?
Well, it needs to form a proper narrative about what it stands for; some ministers need to perform better; and it needs to get its political management in order.
Reviving the Coalition's fortunes after its largely self-made dog of a year will test the PM's leadership to the limit in 2015, but he's up to it.
Topics: government-and-politics, business-economics-and-finance, abbott-tony
The Abbott Government has taken a step in the right direction with its revised GP co-payment plan and mostly it's practical and sensible, but it could be better.
Plan B more closely resembles what was hotly debated earlier this year, and indeed what actually was implemented by the Hawke Labor government in 1991.
Had Plan B been Plan A, not only would it likely have passed the Senate months ago, but mountains of the Government's priceless political capital would not have been squandered.

It appears that the Abbott Government has decided that the co-payment package it took to the May budget could be dumped as one of the policy "barnacles" holding it back.
Employment Minister Eric Abetz has hinted that the GP copayment is not dead but only resting. In the interests of good politics and policy, let's hope this is the case.
Simply sailing away from the Senate iceberg is not going to solve the PM's political and electoral problems.

Bill Shorten chose to make Medicare and GP co-payments a key battleground in his Budget reply, but he played fast and loose with the truth and ignored Labor's own form on the issue.
After all, it was Bob Hawke who implemented GP co-payments in 1991 because he, unlike Shorten, saw that keeping Medicare sustainable meant making unpalatable choices.
The Coalition now needs to show that extending patient contributions will indeed strengthen and sustain Medicare and health care viability for the long haul.

If people take avoidable health and injury risks, why shouldn't they be asked to help cover the costs when things go pear-shaped?
With government health budgets severely stretched, surely it's reasonable to send these people a substantial emergency department bill, or review their Medicare benefits, if they need to be stitched up, patched up, or otherwise sorted out after their misadventures.
If we knew that irresponsibility had consequences, we would all make better decisions about our health.

Immediately after the election of Tony Abbott as Prime Minister, I wrote in The Drum that the more people see of him, the more that they will like him.
Post-election opinion polls suggest this isn't happening. But Labor's newfound two-party preferred poll lead is not a positive endorsement; rather, it indicates uneasiness about the Government's direction and performance.
As Tony Abbott reflects on a tumultuous first 100 days in office, here are four suggestions for how he can turn the narrative around in 2014.

The Howard government was competent and efficient. Notwithstanding Peter Costello's frustrated leadership ambitions, it remained united and disciplined as a team.
But the Howard government deserved to lose in 2007 because it demonstrated no other reason to seek re-election than to say "look at our record and don't trust Labor".
Fast forward to 2013. This is potentially a change of government election, and changing a government truly changes the country. Yet what we're not so far getting from either Labor or the Coalition is a deeper conversation about how they will change our nation.

Since being selected in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft, Wagner not only has started 29 of a possible 32 games during the regular season, he has led the team in tackles each season – as well as during the postseason, when he started all five games.
But this summer, Wagner spent almost a month standing, watching and doing more than just a little coaching while recovering from the hamstring injury he got while chasing running back
"I actually caught him," Wagner said after Monday's practice at Virginia Mason Athletic Center. "With a strained hamstring. Let him know that."
Talk about Always Compete.
But Wagner doesn't have to just talk a good game anymore, because Monday he returned to practice – where he can let his actions speak for him. And Wagner could make his preseason debut in Thursday night's finale against the Raiders in Oakland.
"Bobby did fine. He made it through practice today and that's a really good sign," coach Pete Carroll said. "Really, judging how he feels tomorrow is probably most crucial. But it's been a long haul for him waiting it out. I think we've probably waited well and he's ready to go.
"He looked very, very good today."
And Wagner felt very, very good.
"It was great," he said. "I got tired of watching everybody have fun, so it was good to have fun too."
Wagner took the final needed step during warm-ups on Friday night at CenturyLink Field before the game against the Chicago Bears. Despite being on the "not expected to play" list, Wagner was in his familiar No. 54 jersey and went through his paces with the rest of the linebackers.
"I was supposed to run," Wagner said. "But they cleared me the day before the game, so I was excited that they were going to let me do that. So I went out there to see how the warm-up felt, so I can get closer to getting back today."
If anything came out of Wagner being sidelined, it forced
Coyle is the Seahawks' leading tackler in the first three preseason games, so he obviously has done more than just step in for Wagner. Coyle had five tackles in the opener against the Broncos in Denver, seven in the Week 2 win against the San Diego Chargers and four against the Bears.
"He could not have had a better break for himself – the opportunity to get out there and get his work done," Carroll said of Coyle, who led the University of Montana in tackles the past two seasons after being an all-state selection at Bozeman High School.
"Bobby was so kind to sit back for a little while and give him a chance to get in there."
When that statement was greeted with cocked eyebrows, Carroll smiled and said, "He's sitting right there." And that Wagner was, waiting for his turn at the podium after his first practice since July 29.
When Wagner stepped to the podium, he began by introducing himself.
"Bobby Wagner, new middle linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks," he said through a smile as bright as the sun that was beating down on him.
That list starts with linebackers coach Ken Norton, Jr., a three-time Super Bowl champion and three-time Pro Bowl selection during his career with the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers; but also includes defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, All-Pro free safety
"But play time is just invaluable," Carroll said. "And he's been very comfortable and he's looked very good. It's great to get Bobby back. But on the other side of it, it's really helped Brock come along and show what he means to this team."
As for Wagner's part in the education of Coyle, he said, "I've talked to him a lot. I can relate to him, small-school guy (Wagner went to Utah State). So we've just been talking, trying to teach him what I learned my rookie year and stuff that I didn't see my rookie year. I felt he's done a great job learning the position, getting out there and making plays and showing his value to the team."
Now, it's time for Wagner to get out there, make plays and remind everyone of his value to the team.

Grass fire trailed along creek behind sewer treatment plant Saturday
CORPUS CHRISTI - About a dozen firefighters battled a grass fire behind a wastewater treatment plant on Ennis Joslin Road for about two hours Saturday afternoon, fire officials said.
"We couldn't get in there with a fire truck," said Capt. Scott Rasmusson, "so we had to call in some brush trucks."
The cause of the fire, which began about 1:15 p.m., was not known, he said.
The area, which is encircled by a roadway, was not at risk of spreading beyond the about 2 acres involved, he said.
"It's where a creek feeds from the (Oso Beach Municipal) Golf Course into the bay, so there was a lot of thick brush and dried grass that kept fueling it," Rasmusson said. "It just trailed down a line of thicket."

The TMP17 is a monolithic integrated circuit temperature transducer that provides an output current proportional to absolute temperature. For a wide range of supply voltages the transducer acts as a high impedance temperature dependent current source of 1 µA/K. Improved design and laser wafer trimming of the IC's thin-film resistors allows the TMP17 to achieve absolute accuracy levels and nonlinearity errors previously unattainable at a comparable price.
The TMP17 can be employed in applications between -40°C to +105°C where conventional temperature sensors (i.e., thermistor, RTD, thermocouple, diode) are currently being used. Expensive linearization circuitry, precision voltage references, bridge components, resistance measuring circuitry and cold junction compensation are not required with the TMP17.
The TMP17 is available in a low cost SO-8 surface-mount package.

Bet on the Horse and the Jockey
ATP Oil and Gas (ATPG), once a market favorite, has been hit hard as oil prices have plummeted. The company has a market cap of $110 million, but debt of about $1.3 billion. However, over the last several months the company has announced asset monetization deals and most importantly, the deals have gone through. Proceeds have been used to pay down debt.
The company is still run by the founder and insiders own over 20% of the stock. Last week during a company presentation, the company announced that it was seeking out other initiatives to help maximize the value of the company's assets. Several days later, the company announced a $150 partnership deal with a unit of General Electric (GE).
Insiders haven't been selling at all and with 20% insider ownerships, the executives are behaving just as they should be -- like shareholders. Each share of stock today represents over seven barrels of proved and probable oil reserves.Finally, Goldman Sachs (GS) has weathered the storm exceedingly well relative to peers. If we are going to blame the top brass at Citigroup (C) and Bank of America (BAC) for the disasters those banks are facing, then it's only fair to give Lloyd Blankenfien some credit for steering Goldman away from complete meltdown. It's been the only financial to raise outside capital from Warren Buffett.

As you click across the sparkling marble floor of this 1931 hotel's grandiose lobby, gracious staff will treat you like Princess Grace (a former guest). It's worth visiting this art deco historic landmark just for the history (it's been the accommodation of choice for numerous U.S. presidents; a temporary home to Marilyn Monroe in 1955; and, of course, it's where the Waldorf salad was invented). However, you might find your room doesn't quite live up to its gilded past: On a recent stay, our traditionally decorated room had lost a bit of its shine. A luxurious bathroom with water pressure to rival Niagara almost compensated, and total indulgence can be yours in the glamorous 19th-floor Guerlain spa, which has hydrotherapy suites, an iPad-equipped wellness lounge serving light dishes—and spectacular city views.

Pig-dogging is an aggressive hunting method in which trained hunting dogs are pitted against wild boars. Proud enthusiasts of the sadistic blood sport often post online videos of the fights, which involve boars slowly being mauled to death by dogs. The dogs themselves sustain injuries, and some videos show hunters using staple guns to close their wounds.
An annual pig-dogging event called the Dog a Hog competition, held in Queensland, draws pig-doggers from all over Australia. The event has made the sport popular throughout the country, and many are addicted to the thrill of watching hunting dogs rip apart pigs.
Pig-dogging is cruel to all animals involved in the fights. Australia has an overpopulation of wild boars, but there are many ways to control the animals other than brutal, slow killing. Please sign the petition to urge Australian legislators to ban pig-dogging.
Texas Governor Rick Perry recently signed a new law giving licensed hunters the right to shoot feral pigs and coyotes from helicopters, using semiautomatic rifles. The "pork chopper bill" went into effect September 1, 2011, enabling hunters to shoot these animals from the sky after taking safety classes and securing rights from landowners.
While it's true that pigs and coyotes cause property and wildlife damage, shooting them from the sky is an inhumane way to control these intelligent animals. Aerial hunting is likely to cause much pain and suffering, as pigs and coyotes targeted from the sky are more likely to be wounded than killed. More humane solutions to the problem include tightening laws on hog transportation and release, both practices perpetuated by hunters.
Aerial hunting is not the answer. Please ask Gov. Perry to reconsider the new law in favor of more humane control methods.
Sign the petition here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/ask-governor-perry-to-stop-aerial-pig-and-coyote-hunting/

That looks intriguing... We have pet hair... does it work to remove shedding hair directly from the pet? That would be a great invention... We have brushes, combs, shedding rakes... but we still have dust bunnies galore... If you leave one overnight, they multiply quickly! LOL
I love will it work
The dogs face lmfao "what........."
They work wonders! We use them in the grooming salon i work at and it is fabulous!

That dog looks horrified lol.
So do I as I bought one and got the other free at the fair around 2002 I think?
Twyla Karl, we almost got one therr too but didn't. Does it really work?
I have a couple of these I got at the fair several years ago..... I love it and works great for me.

Nigeria's Dangote Flour risesComment on this story
Shares in Dangote Flour Mills extend gains for the fifth day, climbing to their highest level in more than six weeks, after South Africa's biggest consumer foods maker Tiger Brands says it is in talks with the Nigerian conglomerate to acquire its flour unit.
Tiger Brands has already done a due diligence and is looking to acquire an 80 percent stake in the flour mills, appointing FirstRand's investment arm Rand Merchant Bank is its advisor, sources say.
Dangote Flour Mills gains 4.84 percent to 5.20 naira, valuing the wheat flour and pasta maker at 26 billion naira ($165 million) and helping lift the all-share index 1.02 percent to 22,802.06 points at 14:02 SA time. - Reuters

Starring the voice of John C. Reilly.
Tilda Swinton. John C. Reilly. Bad kitty. Best fake movie!

John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz also star in Roman Polanski's new film.
Behold Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly, and some very creepy children.
Instead of a Jock, Princess, and Brain, defined and protected by their cliques, Terri, Chad, and Heather are each painfully and very believably alone: Fatso, Spaz, Slut.
Reilly's vice-principal gets aggro.
They love each other, see.
