Boldin says Cards lied about new contract, won't re-sign with them
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- A major storm hit the Arizona training camp one day before practice begins, when standout wide receiver Anquan Boldin lashed out at the Cardinals organization for failing to follow through on what he said was a promise for a new contract.
"Right now I don't want a deal," he said Thursday after the players went through a running drill. "You may think I'm funny or saying that just to say it, but for me, I'm tired of it. I washed my hands of the whole situation."
Boldin, a two-time Pro Bowl player and a team captain last season, said that he was promised a new contract before this season.
He has three years left on the four-year, $22.75 million contract extension he signed after the 2005 season that keeps him under contract through 2010. He's making an average of $4 million a year.
Arizona's other standout receiver, Larry Fitzgerald, signed a four-year $40 million, deal after last season, with $30 million guaranteed.
"It's not even about Larry's deal," Boldin said. "Larry earned everything he got. Honestly, he played his butt off. He deserved it."
NFC West blog
ESPN.com's Mike Sando writes about all things NFC West in his division blog.
"Pretty much," he said.
"I'm real disappointed that it came to this point," Boldin said, "but for the last five, going on six, years I've given everything I had to this organization, dedicated myself and went far beyond what I'm supposed to do on the field."
Coach Ken Whisenhunt said he understands Boldin's frustration but still hopes a deal can be worked out. The Cardinals have little room left under this year's salary cap.
Rosenhaus and Arizona general manager Rod Graves met Wednesday night, but the sides were not close to an agreement, Boldin said.
"We are sensitive to the fact that he wants a new contract," Whisenhunt said. "We tried to address it. The first chance we get we're going to continue to try to do that. Hopefully we'll go forward and everything will go smoothly."
Boldin denied reports that his agent had asked the Cardinals to trade him, but when he was asked if he would prefer a trade now, he said, "Honestly, I don't know right now. I can't answer that."
If he isn't traded, Boldin insisted he could put aside his anger toward the front office and play the game as he always has.
"I'm going to do everything my contract requires me to do," he said. "If I'm supposed to be here, I'll be here. I'll outwork anybody on this field. I'm going to show up and be on time. I mean, I'm going to perform like Anquan. I don't know another way."
Whisenhunt played down any impact of the disgruntled team leader letting his feelings be known the day before practice starts.
"I think the reason Anquan was a leader [last year] is because the way he plays, the way he works. I don't think that's going to change," Whisenhunt said. "When you talk about professionals, Anquan to me is one of the ultimate professionals. He's going to show up and give you everything he's got, and I don't see that changing."
A second-round draft pick out of Florida State in 2003, Boldin immediately established himself as one of the league's best. He is the fastest in NFL history to reach 400 career receptions, doing it in 67 games. In his five seasons, Boldin has 413 receptions for 5,458 yards and 29 touchdowns.
Asked why he should get a new deal two years after signing his old one, Boldin said, "because I've earned it."
"I think my numbers speak for themselves," he said. "Even they [the Cardinals] came out publicly and said that I outplayed my contract. I don't have to make a case to anybody why I'm deserving of a contract. That's self-explanatory."

4.34 / 5.00 32,033 ViewsGhostbusters B.I.P.
COMPLETE edition of the interactive "choose next panel" comic
4.07 / 5.00 10,723 ViewsColony is a Real-Time-Strategy game, where you build bases, accumulate resources, create troops, and command them on the battlefield to destroy the enemy forces. All battles are set up to be 2v2.
This was a very exciting game for me to develop because it is my first attempt at creating something multiplayer (that isn't turn based either!). Some of my major influences were Starcraft and Code Geass.
If you enjoy the music, give David Orr a shout, he developed a system where it builds the music as you go, so that it's not one long predictable loop :D You can also find an extended version of the soundtrack on his NG page: http://www.newgrounds.com /audio/listen/299268
I hope you guys have fun! :D
PS: Sorry about the 'ArmorGames" lock earlier, there was a technical problem. Nothing is supposed to be locked in this version.
Amazing game played it before
One of the best Ive played 10-10 :3 Keep the server live . Armor Acct Is ZionNJ
every feature i look for
i love this game i wish there was a sequel with more towers more variety and the ability to befriend someone in multiplayer. my fave fact is that u can talk 2 da computer ally!
How to fix your choice between Outpost and Forge.
Use your partner to your advantage. Come to an agreement, if your teammate wants air, go land, vice versa.
Teamwork is KEY.
Recommend to play again and again! :)
I find the four-building restriction is extremely annoying, personally. It forces you to choose at the beginning between energy-dependent units and population-dependent units. After that, attempting to switch is suicide, because it interrupts your spam. It wouldn't be much of a problem normally, but neither factory can build a full selection of units. Except for the superunits at the very end, the forge doesn't have any good armor, and the barracks can't do air.
Additionally, between the building cap and the very restricted range of units and buildings, the game is nearly deterministic, and early-game build orders are entirely too simple and necessary. Your entire strategy beyond responding to the other players' build orders is mechanical.
So, overview: too simple, not enough variety, bases too constricted to make it interesting.
I found this fairly mediocre. It's not really any better than Sea of Fire (air is slightly more usable, but that's about it), and in some ways worse (only one building takes damage). Multiplayer might be fun, but still doesn't look fun enough.
Piros12, for Mission 5 there's some luck involved, but try this:
Build up a Treasury first, then a Generator and an Outpost. Then build the Special Ops (missile) building. Set the Outpost to build marines to hold off the first wave until the missiles are ready.
When you run out of manpower, demolish the Outpost and build a Generator (be sure to upgrade it).
This should keep you in missiles while your 'ally' is hopefully building something useful like Phantoms. If the ally doesn't, you'll likely lose since it's pretty easy for the enemy to send out quick units behind a bunch of Phantoms and you'll never be able to get a missile on them. :D
Hope it helps!
Oh yeah for lvl 4; try going to dual armoury + generator and bank and spam scouts. It was fast enough for me :p.

For that matter, how about you just add the word "more" to the following items: cars, weapons, unlockable skins, tracks and mission types. This looks like a much bigger game, with Twisted Metal-style gladiator arenas better integrated into the career mode and more secondary objectives to each level, as well.
The biggest change is the new approach to earning boost and "unwreck" time. These are now awarded for incredible driving, not for blowing everything up. You'll have to catch air or powerslide more often to keep the boost flowing, unless you grab one of the short-lived "infinite boost" pickups. The upshot is that, just like every other element, there are a lot more ramps and other reasons to get cars into the air and the physics are a little more forgiving.

Women are especially impacted by multiple sclerosis, as they are diagnosed with the disease two to three times as often as men and are typically the caregiver for family members living with the disease. The Women on the Move luncheon is a way for men and women, alike, to honor all women affected by MS and create awareness of the disease.
Tickets to the Women on the Move luncheon are $75 each and can be purchased online at www.moveVA.org or by calling 804-591-3041. All money raised through the luncheon will provide research grants to find a cure for MS, as well as provide financial assistance for families in Central Virginia facing the expenses (such as medical costs) of having MS.
About Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with at least two to three times more women than men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S. and over 2.1 million worldwide.

From a star on the Walk of Fame to an Oscar on your mantelpiece, there are many signs of having "arrived" in Hollywood, but as far as any sushi devotee is concerned, there's nothing quite like having a roll named after you at Hamasaku on Santa Monica Boulevard. The menu is filled with plates dedicated to the restaurant's bold-faced patrons — the spicy tuna Charlize Theron, the Sarah Michelle Gellar (with jalapeño pearls) and Christina Applegate's baked salmon nigiri. In celebration of our Food Issue this week, chef Yoya Takahashi created a special roll in honor of a certain sushi-loving designer who always visits when she's in town…

Commerce One Patents Auctioned Off
Commerce One Patents Auctioned Off
Renee Boucher Ferguson
Posted 2004-12-08
In a controversial auction, 39 Web services patents developed by Commerce One went to mysterious high bidder JGR Acquisition for $15.5 million.
In a move that sparked some controversy, Commerce One Inc. held a fire sale in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, auctioning off not only the company, but the companys intellectual assets. The sale of 39 Web services patents developed by Commerce One went to mysterious high bidder JGR Acquisition Inc. for $15.5 million, at the San Francisco auction held Monday. Institutional investment firm ComVest Investment Partners acquired Commerce Ones remaining assets for $4.1 million. The cash from both sales went to pay off some of the debt Commerce One owed to ComVest and other investors, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
The patents, which amounted to seven actual patents and 32 patent applications, include technology that broadly describes the framework for electronic communication and connectivity between a company and its partners, customers and trading partners using XMLbetter known as Web services.
The fear of some major companies using Web services is that a new owner could use the patents for financial gain, rather than technological advances. "These patents, in the wrong hands would be used to shake down any companies that operate in Web services and use standards," said Jason Schultz, patent attorney with the Electronic Frontier Organization, a technology activist company. The thought is that an aggressive owner of the Internet-based patents could go "door-to-door" with infringement lawsuits, according to Schultz.
Last month Schultz worked with IT consortium CommerceNet on a plan to acquire the patents. Craig Smith, CommerceNets chief operating officer, led a conference call with software giants Oracle Corp., Google Inc., Sun Microsystems Inc. and about a dozen other IT companies to discuss the possibility of contributing to a fund that would purchase the patents and essentially retire them. The idea, however, never got off the ground due to a lack of contributionsand timeaccording to Smith, in Mountain View, Calif. Rather, the highly secretive JGR acquired the patents Monday. John Amster, managing director of the Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory group at ICMB Ocean Tomo LLC, which handled the sale of the patents, declined to comment on JGRs backers. Little information is available from court documents to confirm who is behind the company, or provide a clue as to what they might do with the technology rights. The patents, based on XML document flow technology acquired from VEO Inc. in 1997, held some promise for Commerce One. A high-flying e-business applications developer in the late 1990s with heavy backing from software giant SAP AGthe German software company owned 20 percent of Commerce Onethe company faltered around the turn of the millennium. After several missteps, it began to focus its efforts on XML and the VEO technology, developing a new platform that focused on business process management, transaction management and B2B integration. The idea was for Commerce One to provide an open enterprise hub that customers could utilize to connect and adapt applications, using Web services to support changing business processes. It was a move that then Chairman and CEO Mark Hoffman hoped would pull the company out of its doldrums. With fierce competition from industry giants like Microsoft Corp. (and ironically SAP itself), Commerce Ones efforts failed. As it stands now, JGR will enter into a patent license agreement with ComVest, according to the SEC documents. The company beat out seven other bidders for the patents, including two that are connected to Intellectual Ventures, a company run by former Microsoft executive Nathan Myhrvoldand founded specifically to invest in innovation. The runner-up patent bid, at $14.9 million, came from Brissac Electronics Holdings, according to Commerce Ones attorney, Craig Prim, of Murray & Murray, in Cupertino, Calif. Myhrvold is also employed by Brissac.

Climate change boosts conflict risk, floods, hunger: UN
Published on Mar 31, 2014 10:00 AM
YOKOHAMA (AFP) - Soaring carbon emissions will amplify the risk of conflict, hunger, floods and migration this century, the UN's expert panel said on Monday in a landmark report on the impact of climate change.
Left unchecked, greenhouse gas emissions may cost trillions of dollars in damage to property and ecosystems, and in bills for shoring up climate defences, it said.
The report said the impact of climate change was already being felt and would increase with every additional degree that temperatures rise.
"Increasing magnitudes of warming increase the likelihood of severe, pervasive, and irreversible impacts," a summary said, in a stark message to policymakers.

well i decided to start my first ranked game I played as eve jungle our team: blitzcrank bot eve jayce top xinzhao bot swain mid theirs: mundo jungle fiora bot sona bot lux mid vlad top the game starts and jayce decides to afk for the remainder of the game. and i lose my first ranked game, should i keep playing ranked or
Best Heim EU
I would say keep playing ranked, because its the best way to get better (not always very fun though), and im completely confused about both teams comps because there isnt an ad carry.... p.s. eve isnt the best jungle but an amazing mid if u know what ur doing
You should have seen my first couple of ranked games. For my first game today we had a Nautilus that "DCed" halfway through the game when they were losing their lane. Shortly after, Xin AFK'ed the next 10 minutes and said he "DCed" also. GG. For our second game, Diana was our "jungler" with no smite and a Doran's Blade at start. Then she sold it and built a Nashor's Tooth (buying no other intermediate items along the way). Then, 21 minutes into the game, she FINALLY got her boots -- she didn't even have tier 1 boots (and it was boots of swiftness). Oh, and she didn't have Smite. Oh, and she had a CS of 9 ten minutes into the game. GG. Also, 10 of my 14 games have been dodged by other players. I'm actually keeping track, because I used to play draft normal games until I got so sick of dodges. I assumed ranked would be better, but holy **** was I wrong. GG.

The five-door A3 forms the basis of Audi's first plug-in hybrid
Stylish high-performance compact cabriolet is well executed but a harsh ride and lifeless steering dent its appeal
Potent, four-wheel-drive supermini shows just what it's made of
We test the prototype all-electric Audi R8 that's capable of 0-62mph in 4.2sec, with an optimum range of 124 miles and a charging time of less than one hour
New all-wheel-drive RS7 Sportback mixes 552bhp punch of the RS6 with sleek looks of the A7, but rivals like the Porsche Panamera offer a more composed and complete package
Audi's S4 packs a supercharged 328bhp punch, but it's not the most engaging high-performance saloon on the market
The Audi A3 cabriolet is a competent small convertible, made more appealing by an excellent 1.4-litre petrol engine
Is this rapid compact SUV a hit or a mismatch of different genres?
The Audi SQ5, the range-topping Q5, makes a fast and desirable family car, but can't seduce and delight like a performance great
Performance behemoth sheds two cylinders. Is that progress for the mighty Audi RS6?
Audi's first compact executive saloon follows on the successes of the hatchback
The Audi A3 Sportback offers the same ownership virtues as the three-door car, but fails to address the small Audi's dynamic shortcomings
Audi's rapid estate returns. We know it's fast, but can it engage us?
Given the Audi S3's price, it's difficult to think of a more entertaining, yet refined and rapid ownership proposition
The Audi TTS might lack the rorty five-pot of the TT RS, but a blend of performance, style and build quality wins many fans
Is the Audi R8 Spyder as capable with a V10 as it is with a V8?
The Audi S7 has pace, refinement and quality, but lacks ultimate feedback
The Audi RS5 is a success not only as a premium sports coupé, but as a long-distance cruiser offering an engaging drive.
The Audi TT RS is a car of highs and lows. The engine is wonderful and the Quattro's hallmarks are all there to see. It just lacks the finesse of the Cayman.
Audi Q7 is accomplished, but doesn't feel at home on UK roads
The Audi TT remains a design icon, and is now a car that's genuinely fun to drive no matter what engine or trim you choose
The Audi A3 is now in its third-generation and the premium hatchback ups the ante on quality once more
The Audi Q5 – the Ingolstadt-based manufacturer's rival to the Land Rover Freelander – may not be perfect, but it is a well rounded road-biased off-roader
The Audi RS3 Sportback is fast and practical, but a £40k performance car needs to offer more
The Audi Q3 is a desirable and capable contender that fails to engage its driver
The Audi A4 is an improvement over the previous version, but isn't good enough to topple the BMW 3-series
It may not have a posh badge, but when it comes to what really matters the R8 has what it takes to hold its head high among supercar rivals
The Audi A8 is a highly capable and desirable luxury saloon that's very easy to live with, despite its flaws
The Audi A7 Sportback is a five-door coupé that scores on style, but what about its substance?
The Audi A6 rises higher than any model before it and is now a real contender in the mid-size exec market
The Audi A4 Allroad has all the benefits of an A4 Avant, with none of the drawbacks of a full SUV. It makes a pretty convincing case for itself.
The Audi A5 is a classy coupé, hatchback and cabriolet, but are there talents beneath the pretty bodywork?
The A1 is a stylish, high quality and competent supermini, if a little expensive, it has the cabin quality and powertrain refinement that we've come to expect from an Audi.

I don't have a 10/22, but I do have the Henry and I love it. Excellent fit and finish and the nicest walnut stock to be found on any gun. Accurate as hell with the right ammo. This target was photocopied and reduced, so each square is actually 3/4" instead of 1". This was at 25yds. with open sights, and 52 yr. old eyes. But if you're into "tacticool" you probably don't own a cowboy hat or have a love of lever actions!
I have a 10/22 and a Henry. It's Henry hands down.
WOW That pic is a little bit BIG there RL. Here I resized it for you.
it appears to be a Pro Ruger Blog, i have a ruger 10/22 stock and personally dot feel its all that out the box accurate as compared to a Taurus 72. Ive shot different vintages and brands and calibers of rimfires I had no expectations of the Taurus (kids gun) when my kid can load and hit stuff out box "POA" never messing with the sights that says something to me.
To bring a little sanity to this discussion ... Get a Henry H001. Accurate, a ball to shoot, smoothest action you ever saw. Holds nicely in one hand to come up on a bunny rabbit or squirrel in a hurry. And you don't have to spend a $1000 to guzzy it all up. [IMG][/IMG] And if you are real lucky, you will find one with beautiful wood! The Octagon barrel version of the H001 is also a super deal for only a few dollars more. Check out your local WallyWorld or dealer. TB
Hunters & Anglers: The first environmentalists are still the best!
Canebrake, is there an electric grid melt down when you turn on everything at one time. What does that little jewel weight? I can understand the need for the bipod. Do you have wheels to aid in moving locations? A very interesting fire arm. I bet it gets comments at the range. DF
My experience is way limited. I can tell you I just purchased a 10/22. My local gun dealer doesn't carry 597s because he said they just don't sell. Also everyone on this forum, save one, recommended the 10/22. The BF HATES the trigger, and the sites leave a lot to be desired. That said, I hit a 12" round steel target at 100 yds. 10 times out of 10. The BF is still talking about it. My group isn't very tight at 50 yds, but as I said, I'm very new to this. The point is, I like the gun, and am having fun with it. I've done no modding. The BF added a scope to his. Take this from where it comes, a definite newbe.


text: I had my baby boy at 39 weeks on Labor Day, 9/3. I got a call last week that he had an adnormal/borderline metabolic test result. I took him back to get a 2nd test and got a call yesterday that his thyrod level is still slightly elevated and they are referring me over to the pedatric endo. I know nothing about having a elevated thyrod levels or what it can do to my baby. I googled a bunch of information but they all vaguely say the same thing about Hyperthyroidism. Does my baby's blood test mean he does have hyperthyroidism? I don't have Graves or hyperthyroid so can my child still get this? Can it be cure. I read that after about 6 months it should correct itself, but does that mean he still is at risk for all the symptons of Hyperthyrodisim, or are those just worst case possibilities. He was born a normal rate, physically normal, heart beat normal. Besides the blood test, he seems just fine. Sorry, I'm stressing and need to get more educated on the condition. Any thoughts, experience, or advice would be a great help.

"In the 70's, health-care professionals were telling patients not to move for three months after a heart attack. Our findings suggest that stable patients need not wait a month to start exercising in a cardiac rehabilitation setting," said Clark.
Given that, in Canada, only one third of patients are referred to rehabilitation after a heart attack and then only 20 per cent then attend, Haykowsky says the key to the best outcome is for patients to not only get referred to rehabilitation, but to be referred early, participate and stick with it.
"Exercise is a wonder drug that hasn't been bottled," he said.

Sen. Rubio Says He Could Run For President Even If Jeb Bush Does
The Florida Republican tells NPR's Steve Inskeep that while he had not made a final decision on a run, "we're closer to a decision than we were a month ago."
A New Year's Eve history lesson
People across the country will ring in the New Year watching television – and the ball drop in Times Square, a New York City tradition that dates to 1904, according to a story in Mental Floss magazine.
The first party was held at the behest of the New York Times publisher, who also picked up the tab for the event. There were fireworks and some 200,000 partygoers. But a few years later New York banned the fireworks, leading to perhaps the most famous New Year's tradition: the ball drop.
The first ball had 100 25-watt light bulbs. Tonight's light count totals 32,256.
Lean times for the weight-loss industry
Established weight-loss companies are facing competition from upstart businesses even as they lose customers to changing tastes. Industry watchers say 2015 will be the year that many diet companies ditch celebrity endorsements, and instead focus on the weight-loss struggles of ordinary people. Those seeking to lose weight are increasingly forgoing foods labeled "diet." Many are turning toward licensed professionals for counseling in behavior modification, a shift that some say is attributable to the Affordable Care Act, which requires most insurers to address obesity.
Marketplace's most popular stories in 2014
But, which stories did Marketplace readers visit the most?
1. What happens at Netflix when House of Cards goes live
Is cable dead?: Netflix continued its push toward original content, with "Marco Polo," "BoJack Horseman," and new seasons of "Orange Is the New Black" and "Arrested Development."
What happens inside of Netflix HQ when its first original series, "House of Cards," releases its anticipated second season at midnight?
2. You Hate My Job: Football referee (plus, a ref quiz!)
Pretty sure that's a penalty: Despite nearly two decades of experience, retired NFL referee Bill Carollo says the job was always nerve-wracking: "If you say that you're not nervous, you're probably kidding yourself – and you probably aren't really prepared."
Carollo recalls one controversial decision in a playoff game that ruled against Tampa Bay's football team. The call resulted in "200 calls [to] my house. I'm unlisted. 15 to 16 people were arrested for death threats. I had to pull my kids out of school. And that's when [I made] the right call."
3. Why are sticks of butter long and skinny in the East, but short and fat in the West?
Butter cubed: Bonnie Robinson Beck from Larchmont, New York, has always wondered why butter cubes are long and skinny in the east, and short and squat in the west.
Until we fielded this question, we had no idea an unspoken butter battle drew a border between the two halves of America. But when we explored the answer, we found out there's pretty much an expert for everything.
4.How an HBCU with 35 students keeps its doors open
Almost a ghost college: If historically black colleges and universities are an endangered species, Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia, could be closest to extinction. Most buildings on its campus are now boarded up and abandoned.
Before the school lost accreditation in 2003, a few thousand students were enrolled at Morris Brown. But almost overnight, most fled out of fear their degree would carry no weight. Today, only 35 students remain enrolled.
5. The British have solved unemployment, once and for all
The solution to all of our problems: Roll this one idea out into the economy and everyone who wants to have a job would get a job. If it works as promised, not just Britain but the rest of the developed world including the U.S., could have full employment.
Outsourcing of jobs to poorer parts of the world? No problem. Robots and algorithms taking away human jobs, not to worry. And what is this device that would solve what is one of the greatest and most persistent economic problems?
Well, it is not a device in the sense of an electronic contraption. But it is a mechanism, a policy mechanism that is being put forth by experts at the New Economics Foundation in London, among others.
Here's the idea: the 21-hour work week.
6. Silicon Valley has a dress code? You better believe it
Strictly casual: Silicon Valley is known for its 'casual' dress, which means T-shirts, jeans and sneakers. But don't be fooled, techies care a lot more about appearances than they let on. Put another way, there's a lot of code in the Silicon Valley dress code.
7.Why women's pockets are useless: A history
The purse lobby is stronger than you could have ever imagined: The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus descended upon society in 2014. Amid loving descriptions of its crisp camera, its intuitive operating system and the near-reverence for its sleek lines, one question (quite literally) looms large: Is the bigger iPhone 6 Plus a "pocketable" size?
There's one problem: Women's pockets have always had a history of being unable to hold a phone, or much else, for a long, long time.
8. Two obsessed guys and a radical motorcycle design
Zen and the art of motorcycle designing: Ten years ago, J.T. Nesbitt was one of the top motorcycle designers in the world. His picture graced the cover of magazines. Celebrities sought out his extravagantly expensive machines. But in 2005, while he was visiting a prince in the Middle East, hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and destroyed Confederate Motorcycles, the company that built Nesbitt's bikes.
Seven years later, his career hadn't recovered. He was about to take a job waiting tables in the French Quarter, when a stranger showed up on his doorstep and turned his life upside down.
9.Why do gas prices end in 9/10 of a cent?
...and everything else you've ever wondered about gas stations.
Nine-tenths of the answer: To answer the most wondered-about question in the history of "I've Always Wondered" (seriously, like 15 people asked), we headed to Three Lakes, Wisconsin, to meet with Ed Jacobsen (known as "Jake, the Oil Guy"). Jacobsen worked for Esso and then bought a half-dozen gas stations he ran for decades. Now, he runs the Northwoods Petroleum Museum — a collection of at least 4,000 items, from drill bits to vintage gas pumps to antique oil company freebies.
"We have to go way back to when the oil companies were selling gas for, let's say, 15 cents, and then the state and federal boards decided they wanted a piece of that to keep the roads going, so they added 3/10 of a cent. And the oil companies said, 'Well, we're not going to eat that,' so they passed that on to the public." Raising prices a penny would have been disastrous when gas only cost $0.15. But why has it stick around?
10.Making it to the 1 percent is more common than you think
The 1 in 100: Back when the Occupy Wall Street movement chanted "We are the 99 percent," author Mark Rank got curious about some of the assumptions buried in that chant. Who exactly is the 99 percent? And what's their relationship to that remaining, increasingly notorious 1 percent?

Small investors still skipping stocks
Every year, Bankrate.com takes the pulse of average Americans with a survey, called the financial security index. And every year since the financial crisis, people have said they're staying away from stocks, even as the markets rose.
"Risk aversion among individual investors still remains very, very high," says Greg McBride, Bankrate's chief financial analyst.
Seventy-three percent of the people interviewed for the 2014 survey said they were not more inclined to invest in stocks. McBride says usually at this point in a financial recovery, small investors do flock back to the markets, but not this time.
"They bought in right before the market peak in 2000, they sold out at the bottom, got back in and then got burned again," McBride says. "And a lot of those individual investors simply have never come back to the equity markets."
There can be consequences for investors who stay out of stocks, because, historically, the markets have been your best investment for retirement.
"You've got two choices" if you skip stocks, says Stuart Ritter, a senior financial planner with T Rowe Price. "One, you need to save more to make up for the earnings you're not getting, or two, you need to recognize you're going to have a smaller balance, and a lower lifestyle in retirement."
Ritter says over every 15-year-period since 1926, the S&P 500 has gone up.
He says your best strategy is to ride out the short-term ups and downs, and invest for the long term.

The perils of predicting interest rates on New Year's Eve. And more than marking the new year, tonight will also be the most expensive night to take an Uber. More on that. Plus, for nearly two decades, AirTran Airways has been the "scrappy" airline. It consistently did more with less, kept airfares in check, and thrived even when other airlines went bankrupt. AirTran flew for the final time Sunday night. It's been a slow process merging with Southwest Airlines; almost five years now. So what will Southwest do to keep the AirTran-spirit alive?

U.S. Transfers Five Guantanamo Detainees To Kazakhstan
The transfer is part of a plan to close the detention facility in Cuba. The Pentagon says there are still 127 detainees at Guantanamo.
AirTran Folds its wings
It's taken nearly four years, but Southwest Airlines Sunday completed its $1.4-billion acquisition of AirTran Airways with one last flight.
Cheers erupted as AirTran's Boeing 717 took off Sunday from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport bound for Tampa. AirTran Flight 1 was long sold out, and more than 800 hopeful travelers added their names to the standby list.
Southwest's Bob Jordan has been running AirTran's operations for the past few years. Over a scratchy PA system, he thanked AirTran's employees.
"This is awesome. It's a fantastic way to commemorate this last flight, and a fantastic way to move forward as one awesome company," he said.
The journey traced ValuJet's 1993 inaugural flight. After a deadly crash in the Florida Everglades in 1998, ValuJet struggled to survive. It eventually re-emerged as AirTran.
Trish Krider worked as a flight attendant under both names. She says AirTran's final moment is a proud one.
"The fact we fought from ValuJet all the way to where we are, to be a company that Southwest wanted to own, is just the most amazing, amazing experience," Krider said after the flight landed in Tampa.
By airline standards, Southwest's merger with AirTran was smooth. For one thing, there were no layoffs.
AirTran flight attendant Tana Thomas says the airlines' family-like corporate cultures were a lot alike. And that helped.
"I see their scrappiness being one and the same," she said. "It's like they're on full-throttle."
The merger allowed Southwest access to key markets, like Washington-National and Atlanta. The merger also opened up international routes for the first time.
And although it's been a long merger, it's proving to be a profitable one. Air Transport World just named Southwest its airline of the year. And the Dallas-based carrier's stock was the year's best performer on the S&P 500.

Damn you Harmonix
By AliZeyk 7 Comments
I love Harmonix. They make awesome games. They keep putting out awesome music for me to enjoy every week. And they make this music sound as awesome as they possibly can. Which is also why I have a beef with them. Well, not with them per se, but the amazing job they do mastering the audio on the tracks they publish really, really puts some of the studio efforts to shame. The same track on Rock Band sounds so much better than on my Zune. And no, this is not an audio quality issue, as I tend to rip everything at 256kbps or higher. Nor are these shady downloaded tracks, ill-gotten from some third party site, or from the pirate bay. No these are rips from original studio releases on CD's. The problem lies with the way the tracks on CD's tend to be mastered (and yes, some studio releases have amazing masters, but not all), especially mid 90's stuff. Take the No Doubt track pack; Spiderwebs on Rock Band comes through with amazing clarity, separation between instruments, and great punch to the bass. Now listening to the same track on my Zune, connected to my 360, playing through the same speakers, you lose a lot of that. It's not that it sounds bad; it just doesn't sound as good as the Harmonix master. And while kind of problem is more prevalent and apparent on older CD's, some newer releases have similar issues as well.
And on a related note, you realize how much work Harmonix was doing to make the tracks it put out sound so great when you listen to the mastering and audio quality of tracks on Rock Band Network. I love the idea of RBN, to be able to see more of the music I love playable in Rock Band, but so far, the audio quality on all the tracks I've sampled have been sub par.
So to end this winding train of thought, two things. First, everyone else out there that masters music, take a cue from Harmonix. And second, Harmonix, if you were to put out albums of the tracks you've mastered, I wold pay you for them, even though I've already payed for them once. I love them that much.
