The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Very good question. I never quite figured it out. People claimed
that they wanted more say in big state projects especially
infrastructural ones such as this one, but the irony is that this
project actually had been discussed out in the open for a really
long time. I think the basis of the whole thing is related to people
(especially in Stuttgart) having grown tired of a government in
Baden-Wu:rttemberg that had been in power for seemgingly forever. It
also relates to a certain conservatism or preservationism. People
don't necessarily want such massive change in their towns. That
train station would have fundamentally changed the whole inner-city
of Stuttgart and people didn't want that. Definitely not the state
budget, no.

Rail dispute that shook Merkel flares up with new protests
Jun 14, 2011, 10:42 GMT
Berlin - A dispute about a railway building project that shook
Chancellor Angela Merkel's government flared up again Tuesday as
police forcibly cleared about 100 demonstrators from outside the
building site in Stuttgart.
Fierce clashes last summer in the southern city showed the depth
of feeling about a multi-billion-euro plan to put main-line
railways and the city's main station in tunnels, speeding up
cross-Europe travel.
The Green Party, which opposes the project, won control of the
state, Baden-Wuerttemberg, in a March poll and is poised to win
a stake in power at Germany's 2013 general election, but has
found itself unable to halt the building work.
Police said they lifted away 100 protesters who sat or lay on
the ground near the Stuttgart building site to show their
opposition to the work and to prevent a truck delivering
building supplies. There was no violence, police said.
The Deutsche Bahn railway company had said earlier it would
resume construction work on Tuesday after a post-election
Winfried Kretschmann, the Green state premier, called Bahn's
move 'unethical.' Merkel continues to support the rail project.
Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) lost the state after nearly
60 years in power and have since adopted an anti-nuclear policy
in an effort win back middle-class supporters which have
defected to the Greens. The CDU says the rail project can be
modified to meet the criticisms.
Bahn denies that work to lower the water table in the Stuttgart
soil breaches a pact with protesters to conduct a test with
computer models on July 14 on whether the station design is
adequate to handle the traffic.

The Eleven Best Shows in Denver This Week
This week's crop of shows includes a busy lineup at the big venues, including guitar heaven at Fiddler's Green with ZZ Top and Jeff Beck. Huey Lewis and the News plays Thursday in Avon "He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor."
Elsewhere, the Coathangers return to Denver after a short time away, Styrofoam Sanchez plays Rhinoceropolis and, yes, Huey Lewis and the News are in Colorado. The rest of our picks follow.
Jack Johnson
Red Rocks Amphitheatre : 7:30 p.m. August 18
Even if he's too mellow for you, at least give him credit for promoting the surfer life as much as the Beach Boys. At this rate, he's gunning to replace Kenny Chesney as Jimmy Buffet's heir apparant for the endless summer crowd. He's at least likable, which is a plus for adult contemporary rock, but if he really did want to make good on surf music, he should sneak in "Wipe Out" or "Church Key" into his set now and then.
Styrofoam Sanchez
Rhinoceropolis : August 18
Bands like the Residents, Caroliner Rainbow and White Mice put forth social critiques using performance-art techniques informed by the Theatre of the Absurd, challenging audiences with both their content and their delivery. Oakland's Styrofoam Sanchez is cut from the same cloth, making a direct commentary with its costumes and stylized masks, constructed from the non-biodegradable plastics that will litter the polluted graveyards of the future. With brooding, forbidding industrial sounds enhancing its members' already bizarre appearance, Styrofoam Sanchez embodies a warning of the future for humans pinched to the brink of extinction by the hubristic notion that technology has made us immune to the laws of nature.
Pepsi Center : 7:30 p.m. August 19
Despite a few hiccups along the way -- including feuds between frontman Steven Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry -- Boston's Aerosmith has forged on and established itself as a vital force in rock music for more than four decades. In the 1970s, the band built a solid fan base on the strength of songs like "Dream On," "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion." The '80s proved to be successful for the group as well, with multi-platinum albums like Permanent Vacation and Get a Grip. 20112's Another Dimension! the first disc since 2001's Just Push Play to feature an entirely new batch of tracks.
The Coathangers
Larimer Lounge : 9:00 p.m. August 19
As a side effect of being a band with women in it, the Coathangers often fall under the blanket category of "all-girl." In their video for "Follow Me," the Atlanta-based trio addresses this head-on by asking their dude friends and practice-space mates in Mastodon to wear wigs and dresses -- the premise being that the men in the metal band are playing the Coathangers. Whether it was an ingenius response to irrelevant gender-cataloging or just a joke, the musicians tapped into their bigger appeal -- their sense of humor. But forget the politics and the humor: The band's latest effort, Suck My Shirt, is a sort of rowdy answer to 2011's more grown-up Larceny & Old Lace. It also marks the departure of longtime keyboardist Candice Jones (aka Bebe Coathanger), though not much has gone missing sonically as a consequence of the loss, and the trio is punchier than ever. That Coathangers sound is still carried by drummer Stephanie Luke's (aka Rusty Coathanger) raspy belly wail, and the band's brand of Southern no-wave remains strikingly minimal. Guitarist Julia Kugel (Crook Kid Coathanger) and bassist Meredith Franco (Minnie Coathanger) sing, too, bringing sorrowful and charming vocal elements into the mix. Live, the Coathangers emphasize both the sarcasm and the raw power that drive their records.
The Gipsy Kings
Denver Botanic Gardens : 7:00 p.m. August 19
Way before Gogol Bordello sang punky odes to the proverbial wanderer, the Kings traversed the globe, blending Spanish rumba and flamenco guitar for a worldwide audience. Formed in 1978, the Gipsy Kings is two sets of siblings, the Reyes and the Baliardos. They are descendants of Spanish gypsies who fled to France in the 1930s to escape Spain's civil war. The Reyes brothers grew up harvesting crops and making music before starting a family band with their pops, legendary flamenco artist Jose Reyes. After the father's death, his sons partnered up with the Baliardos boys at the St. Marie de la Mer Gitan pilgrimage, drank some wine, and started a band. Since releasing "Bamboleo" in 1987, a three-and-a-half minute version of the popular Venezuelan folk song, "Caballo Viejo," the Gipsy Kings have enjoyed international crossover superstardom.
Wiz Khalifa and Young Jeezy
Red Rocks Amphitheatre : 6:00 p.m. August 19
What if we told you that Cameron Jibril Thomaz (better known as oddball rapper Wiz Khalifa) was born in North Dakota, a state hardly synonymous with hip-hop? That he moved around Europe as a child, far from the American ghettos. That he had a goofy-looking short white friend named Mac who followed him everywhere. That he never sold drugs and that he wears skinny jeans. That as an MC, he just likes to stay positive, focus on wordplay, and let the other guys beef. That he once released a song ("Big Screen") entirely Auto-Tuned. It doesn't really sound like the making of a rap superstar, does it? But that's exactly what 26-year-old "Black and Yellow" rapper Thomaz is. He's not alone. Increasingly, the trend in rap stardom is oddness.

Rio Still Holds England Hopes
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand still has hopes of getting back into the England team at some point.
Now 34 years old, Ferdinand last played in 2011 but the end was signalled when Roy Hodgson did not pick him for the England squad that took part in Euro 2012.
Even so, the defender still has a passion to play and he would like to do that at the highest possible level.
He told PA Sport: "The manager hasn't picked me but if I got picked I'd pack my bags and go straight there.
"I'm no different to anyone else. I love playing for England. If I'm not then I'll keep doing what I'm doing for Manchester United."
Ferdinand has been capped 81 times by England, with his last appearance coming in a Euro qualifier against Switzerland.

In Guy Trebay's world, xenophobia would manifest itself sartorially. The New York Times reporter's outlook on ethnic dress at the Olympics seems to ignore the fact that clothes have evolved along with global cultures. There's a reason Queen Elizabeth is seen in outfits and hats by in Hardy Amies and John Anderson rather than the intricately adorned dresses and jewelry associated more with the other Queen Elizabeth.
Trebay's complaint that "regional costume is vanishing from the planet, kept alive at the opening ceremony of each new Olympics and on the it's-a-small-world ride at Disneyland" is rooted in traditions and ideas that started years ago, in a pre-Internet age. The big problem with the Disney ride is that it portrays other cultures and ethnicities as Disney saw them in 1966, not how they saw themselves.
His assumption that "traditional garments like saris, dhotis, lungis, kimonos and sarongs are on their way out," is off-base too. The opening ceremony uniforms aren't just a way to tell a nation apart, it's a great opportunity for native brands to get some recognition. That's why Ralph Lauren (USA), Lacoste (France), and Suitsupply (The Netherlands) readily outfitted their respective national teams. And why Japanese retailer Matsuzakaya carried the torch for Japan's modern prep-inspired uniforms.
Trebay's missive that Japan's uniforms resembled "Anglicized schoolboy clothes smart Parisians bought for a century at Old England, a now defunct shop near the Paris Opera" completely ignores the fact that the Japanese have a long, storied history of adoring preppy style. In the '50s, Kensuke Ishizu's VAN introduced Japanese youth to a modern way of dressing inspired by American Ivy League schools, which spread widely in the '60s. Preppy style got so popular that photographer Teruyoshi Hayashida made the book Take Ivy, a treasured tome documenting Ivy League style in America that predated modern testaments to classic style like Free & Easy.
Prep clothes are just as ingrained in Japanese culture as they are in America. The image of the suited-up salaryman is a pop culture trope there, so much so that Japanese band World Order has made the look into a a very dapper uniform. To say that the style isn't Japanese is like saying wingtips aren't American. Both styles originated elsewhere (we can thank the Scots for brogues) but have nevertheless become an indelible part of our respective sartorial cultures. It's just plain ignorant to assume traditional costumes and uniforms are all a country can wear to define itself.
Even today, lauded brands like J. Press and Thom Browne—two spectrums of modern, prep-inspired style, are owned by Japanese companies, and they're not alone. Take for Kamakura for example, the Japanese shirt brand we recently featured, known for its affordable oxford button-down collar shirts with a perfectly rolled collar. On the global stage, countries should be able to sartorially express themselves in a way that represents them as they are now, not how some out-of-touch spectator thinks they should be. The only way to break stereotypes is face them head on, tearing through them like desperate bobsledders trapped in Sochi bathrooms.

Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome

Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome | |
Classification and external resources | |
DiseasesDB | 33868 |
MeSH | C536665 |
Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) refers to the presence of a uterus and sometimes other Müllerian duct derivatives in a genetically male animal. In humans, PMDS typically is due to an autosomal recessive[1] congenital disorder and is considered by some to be a form of pseudohermaphroditism due to the presence of uterine tissue.[2]
Typical features include undescended testes (cryptorchidism) and the presence of a small, underdeveloped uterus in a genetically male infant or adult. This condition is usually caused by deficiency of fetal anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) effect due to mutations of the gene for AMH or the anti-Müllerian hormone receptor.
AMH (Anti Müllerian Hormone) is produced by the primitive Sertoli cell as one of the earliest Sertoli cell products and induces regression of the Müllerian ducts. Fetal Müllerian ducts are only sensitive to AMH action around the 8th week of gestation, and Müllerian regression is completed by the end of the 9th week. The AMH induced regression of the Müllerian duct occurs in cranio-caudal direction via apoptosis. The AMH receptors are located on the Müllerian duct mesenchyme and transfer the apoptotic signal to the Müllerian epithelial cell presumably via paracrine actors. The Wolffian ducts differentiate into epididymides, vasa deferentia and seminal vesicles under the influence of testosterone, produced by the fetal Leydig cell[3]
Because both the Wolffian ducts and Müllerian ducts begin to develop, the tissues are often intertwined, resulting in obstruction or nonpatency of the vas deferens or other parts of the male excretory ducts. This can result in infertility, the most serious potential problem caused by this condition.
Cryptorchidism in AMH deficiency suggests that AMH may play a role in transabdominal testicular descent, perhaps by facilitating contraction of the gubernaculum.
Other Müllerian derivatives which may be present in at least a rudimentary form are the cervix, upper part of the vagina, and fallopian tubes.[4]
The condition can come to attention because of a bulge in the inguinal canal of a genetically male infant due to herniation of the uterus. The presence of a uterus may be noticed if an ultrasound or MRI of the pelvis is performed to locate the testes or for other reasons. Occasionally the uterus is discovered during abdominal surgery for some other purpose in later childhood or adult life.
Although persistent Müllerian duct syndrome is classified as an intersex condition, it does not involve ambiguity or malformation of the external genitalia, which appear typically male (apart from cryptorchidism if present).
Apart from humans, this syndrome has been reported in dogs.[5]
Surgery (orchiopexy) to retrieve the testes and position them in the scrotum is the primary treatment. Occasionally they are unsalvageable if located high in the retroperitoneum. During this surgery, the uterus is usually removed and attempts made to dissect away Müllerian tissue from the vas deferens and epididymis for the purpose of improving the chance of fertility. If the person has male gender identity and the testes cannot be retrieved, testosterone replacement will be necessary at puberty.[citation needed] Lately, laparascopic hysterectomy is offered to patients as a solution to both improve the chances of fertility and to prevent the occurrences of neoplastic tissue formation.[2]
Molecular genetics and inheritance[edit]
PMDS type I results from mutations of the gene (AMH) for AMH on chromosome 19p3.3.[6]
PMDS type II results from mutations of the gene (AMH-RII) for the AMH receptor on 12q13.[7]
Both types of disorders are inherited as autosomal recessive conditions with expression usually limited to genetic males.

How will I know when to create an interface?
Hi guys,
This will sound a bit thick, I guess, but I am battling to understand the reason to use interfaces. People keep saying that they are 'contracts' for classes. But, why use them? If I was a single developer, on an application, that I knew no one would ever work on (I know - not a common example, but I am just trying to understand), would I use Interfaces? They seem to just duplicate work. It seem I define what a class must implement, and then go an implement it. I'm doing it twice - why?
Please note: I am not in anyway saying they're useless... I'm just tying to find out why, in projects I work on, they define an IClass, and then based on that, define the class which they use...
Sorry if it's very basic... Just hoping someone can help me out.

PODCAST: Taking a mental health day
First up, more on the key indexes were mixed in early trading today following the awful performance of Thursday. Until recently, market participants looked at the stronger dollar buying more oil, pushing the price of energy down and figured these were good things for profits and household budgets. Suddenly, sentiment turns, and the strong dollar and cheap oil are bad things because they underscore the weakness of economies from Europe to Asia. Plus, it's World Mental Health Day, so we thought it would be a useful moment to check in on mental health in the workplace. The CDC estimates that depression alone can cause 200 million lost workdays, costing companies as much as $44 billion every year. And on Sunday, Bolivians go to the polls to vote for president.

It's World Mental Health Day, a good opportunity to check in on mental health in the workplace. The CDC estimates that depression alone can cause 200 million lost workdays annually, costing companies as much as $44 billion every year.
Does that motivate employers to offer more mental health benefits? A 2014 survey from the American Psychological Association found just 45 percent of employees say they get help from employers to meet their mental health needs. But the APA's Dr. David Ballard—who works with businesses closely—says company attitudes are changing.
"I think we've shifted from a lack of awareness and a lack of understanding to a desire to address it, but not always knowing how to do that," he says
Case in point, Ballard points to the small Wooster, Ohio, company Certified Angus Beef, which may be on the cutting edge of mental health wellness.
Once a month, the firm brings in a clinical psychologist that staff can see on company time. On top of that, Certified Angus Beef offers employees and their family members up to three free visits a year.
"When we really looked at what people struggle with is all the stress, all the life stress," says the company's director of human resources, Pam Cottrell. She says in three years, utilization of services has tripled.
Ballard says what he likes about the Certified Angus Beef's approach is that it's easy, and affordable. The company spends less than $10,000 a year on the benefit.
A new designation for the San Gabriel Mountains
On Friday, President Barack Obama will declare 346,000 acres of forestland just north of Los Angeles as a national monument.
Supporters hope the move will free up both federal and private money that they say is needed to take better care of the San Gabriel Mountains forest area, a popular recreation destination with millions of visitors a year.
"This national forest is one of the most visited places in the country," says Daniel Rossman, who as chair of the group San Gabriel Mountains Forever has been working for more than a decade to get more resources for the forestland.
Some who live near the forest have not wanted a monument designation, because they are concerned that it will come with restrictions, such as limits on land use.
But Rossman says the designation is necessary, because the Forest Service has had trouble keeping up with all the trash and pollution that comes with so many visitors.
"I've personally done clean-ups, picking up dirty diapers and old pieces of clothing," Rossman says, adding that the mountains are responsible for 30 percent of the Los Angeles region's water supply.
California Congresswoman Judy Chu says the president's executive action will circumvent the current gridlock in Congress.
The monument designation will not only bring more personnel and federal money to the forest, it will also allow for private fundraising, says Chu.
"You can have a private-public partnership. And already we have non-profit and private donations that have been pledged," Chu says.
The Forest Service will be able to set the privately-raised money aside for the San Gabriel Mountains monument; Something it couldn't do for a national forest.
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Judy Chu had been working on Congressional legislation for more than 10 years. Though she supports the change, she has not been advocating for it for that long.

Suluwilo is an Eco-Lux Villa in Mozambique Shaped Like a Boat
Posted By Ana Lisa On April 18, 2012 @ 1:00 am In Architecture,carousel showcase,green Interiors,Recycling / Compost | No Comments
Inspired by the traditional Dhow [6] fishing boats in East Africa, the angled shelters´ roofs divert strong winds coming in from the sea. Made from dried plants, the thatched roofs [7] are biodegradable, cool, breathable and compostable. Although the villa is situated a few steps away from the beach, each house has a small private pool for relaxing and soaking up the sun.
Constructed mainly from local wood and straw, the shelters also incorporate the use of mud (walls) and water (outdoor baths) as cooling elements. Each shelter [8] features a bedroom and studio space in the angled attic, a living room on the ground floor, and a bathroom that can be accessed via a top-level bridge. Made from sustainable materials and set on a paradisiacal African island, COA [5]´s Suluwilo Villa is a luxurious eco-friendly retreat.

I solo top mundo an awful lot, with practice and good timing, you can do serious damage with your q and ad steroid to the point that your opponent will regret soloing top against you. You can harass for days on end as long as your aim is good, mpen marks make your cleavers hit that much harder and are a serious source of damage pretty much all game long. Other than cleaver timing, you also have to know when to burning agony or not, farming with it constantly on can work but I would not recommend that, just last hit and abuse whomever you are laning against with cleavers.
He is OP and a great jungler. He's also really tanky has a MS boost, tenacity boost, AD boost, % dealing ranged slow, Really strong AOE around him, and a super regen tool. So hard to push him out of lane. And he goes where he pleases so the enemy team can't stop him from winning.
Mundo was the first character i ever bought, he still goes where he pleases, great champ!
I like to go mid with Mundo just cause. I don't really take much harrase cause the enemy team gets scared for some reason XD. I built my masteries so that I can hav 29 health regen at the beginning of the game wen I get dorans shield. Since he gains health when his cleaver hits anything he can farm minions at far range without loosing too much health. He is very good in mid by my opinion.

Overview: The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) sets minimum standards for pension, health and other welfare plans (e.g., life insurance, disability) in order to provide protection to participants in these plans. ERISA applies to private employers that provide employer-sponsored retirement, health and welfare benefit plans to employees.
ERISA does not require employers to offer benefit plans but regulates and sets standards for:
Two amendments to ERISA have expanded protection to participants and beneficiaries in health plans. The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) provides employees and their families the opportunity to continue their health coverage after certain qualifying events, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides protection to individuals with pre-existing medical conditions. Other important amendments to ERISA include the Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act, the Mental Health Parity Act and the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act.
Trends: Communicating benefit plan information to employees is still an area of exposure for employers. If not done properly, employers run the risk of being liable for breach of fiduciary duty. To avoid this liability, employers should be sure to control the flow of information concerning benefits and ensure designated representatives are well-trained and can provide timely and accurate information.
Author: Tracy Morley, SPHR, Legal Editor
Employers seeking to advise employees of any retirement benefits offered to employees as part of their overall benefits package should consider including this model policy statement in their handbook.
Despite receiving an unclear request, a benefits plan administrator was liable under ERISA for failing to timely provide requested plan documents. The 6th Circuit has adopted the "clear notice" standard, but ruled that the administrator knew or should have known which documents were requested.
Notice 2014-19, issued by the IRS, provides guidance on how qualified retirement plans should treat same-sex spouses. The notice also requires qualified retirement plans to recognize the same-sex spouse of a participant. and provides plan participants with important rights with respect to certain aspects of a qualified retirement plan.
In-depth review of the spectrum of employment law requirements HR must follow with respect to Compliance, Reporting and Disclosure Requirements
Recent guidance issued by the US Department of Labor states same-sex spouses are now eligible for the same benefits and protections as opposite-sex spouses under employee benefit plans and programs covered under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
The Supreme Court's ruling striking down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act raises significant issues related to the administration of employee benefit plans.
The Supreme Court handed down two decisions in favor of same-sex marriage that could significantly impact employee benefit plan administration and other areas of employment law.
The US Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) published two compliance tools to help employers see if their health plans comply with the requirements of Part 7 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) requires plan sponsors to meet fiduciary, reporting and disclosure requirements. ERISA also sets minimum standards for participation, vesting, benefit accruals and funding. This Legal Insight focuses on a plan sponsor's fiduciary and disclosure responsibilities under ERISA and explains how to navigate DOL regulations and enforcement activities.
Open enrollment and benefit planning, design and communications are all hallmarks of fall, which marks the beginning of one of HR's busiest times.

SpotMe Portfolio Show 2011
Concept & Identity -
For our class' Portfolio Show we came out with the theme/title of "SpotMe", since our purpose was to showcase our work and skills as Graphic Designers to the local professional community.I came up with this concept to represent the look and feel of the Show, inspired in the new Batman animated series. I believe it was fitting to use a spotlight as a metaphor for our goal of being noticed, and of displaying what makes us different from everyone else in the city as far as talent, and the Portfolio Show in itself. Besides the two versions of the logo, I designed all the signage, posters, invitations, and website layout for the Show.During the show we also had a real spotlight that used a metal die cut to project the frontal view version of the logo on black drapes we set up on the far wall of the venue (pictures of that will be added soon). I must say, we made the place look pretty awesome.Here's a big thanks to Grace Howell, who programmed the website. And also to Stacy Matthews, who acted as our fearless leader, and kept everyone organized, sane, and happy throughout the whole process: Thank you! We could not have done it without you!

Browns tackle Thomas doubles as outdoors TV host
ESPN.com's James Walker offers a first-person account of what it's like to fish Lake Erie with Browns tackle Joe Thomas, who filmed the adventure for his Ohio cable TV show.
LORAIN, Ohio -- When you think of potential television stars for the Cleveland Browns, what names come to mind?
Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn are the high-profile quarterbacks. Tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. and receiver Braylon Edwards are the most charismatic. Linebacker Willie McGinest has three Super Bowl rings. Yet the biggest tube star for the Browns this offseason also happens to be one of the most unassuming players in their locker room. It's second-year left tackle Joe Thomas. Yes, that Joe Thomas. The player who famously turned down the NFL's invitation to New York's Radio City Music Hall because he'd rather spend the 2007 draft weekend on a boat fishing with a small group of family and friends. Recently, Thomas was fishing once again while filming his television series "Outdoors Ohio with D'Arcy Egan and Joe Thomas," which airs throughout the Buckeye State on SportsTime Ohio. This particular show is scheduled to air on Tuesday, July 1 at 10 p.m. ET. This time, ESPN.com tagged along to get a first-person account of the Pro Bowl left tackle doing something other than football.June 1, 2008, 7:50 a.m.
Browns center Hank Fraley is already on site prepping his 34-foot boat as the rest of the crew arrives. Thomas pulls up in his SUV while Egan, the show's co-star and longtime outdoors writer for The Cleveland Plain Dealer, is not far behind with his film crew of Wes Morgan and Tracy Anderson.
Everyone is energized. The beautiful weather certainly helps, with clear skies and an early hint of sun sparkling off the waters of Lake Erie. Thomas greets Fraley, then introduces his teammate to the rest of the crew. Thomas also brings soda for the cooler, and on board are potato chips, sandwiches and protein bars. "Looks like it's going to be a good day,'' Thomas says excitedly. Country music is blasting on the radio.Related |

8:20 a.m.
Filming begins as the crew leaves the shore.9 a.m.
A location has been chosen and Thomas is testing the waters. He baits his hook with a worm and casts for the first time as the other members of the group are putting their rigs together. "Is it running good?" Egan asks Thomas. "It's running good," Thomas responds. Meanwhile, the camera crew swiftly gets in position and Fraley is passing out rods right and left. "Anybody want a pink rod?" he shouts. "That's my wife's and it's actually pretty good. She uses it all the time."People are really hungry for what we're doing outside of football. Because it's human interest stories and everyone can relate to it.
--Joe Thomas, on the audience he has for his cable TV exploits
Thomas adds that he's getting excellent feedback and the show's ratings are higher than they've ever been.
"People are really hungry for what we're doing outside of football," Thomas says. "Because it's human interest stories and everyone can relate to it."9:15 a.m.

Filming resumes and everyone is waiting for the first catch.
With the constant ebb and flow of the waves, the two most inexperienced boaters are flying all over the place while everyone else is perfectly balanced. "Don't worry, you'll get your sea legs pretty quick," Thomas says encouragingly to the ESPN.com writer and photographer. The jokes keep coming as everyone waits for walleye. Someone on the film crew mentions Fraley's age. "What do you mean old? I'm like 24," says Fraley, 30, while everyone bursts into laughter. "But seriously, having Joe around keeps me young. A guy like Joe will keep me in the league a lot longer." Soon after, Fraley gets the first fish but not the walleye everyone is anticipating. Thomas catches a very small zebra mussel seconds later and shows it off for the camera. "Me and Hank got animals. D'Arcy, what about you?" Thomas says.9:40 a.m.
Ten minutes later, Egan catches the first walleye with one hand while on the cell phone. He is that skilled.
"Hold on. Let me call you back!" he says.I'm about to throw this rod. If this rod were golf clubs, they'd be in the water by now!
--Browns center Hank Fraley
Fraley grabs the net, bags the fish, and there is a collective cheer from all on board and great footage for the show. "I'm getting hungry just looking at him," Thomas says into the camera. "I'm glad someone caught one. We're all in this together, right?" Fraley adds, hoping Egan shares the spoils. Thomas assures Fraley that the first catch is the hardest and the rest will bite soon. On cue, Fraley's line jumps. He has a big one and the cameras start rolling again! Fraley gets excited and yanks the rod so hard that he loses the fish. Egan turns to him and offers some advice to Fraley. "You have to be gentle," he says. "Don't yank his lips off." Thomas then joins in and asks Egan on camera for tips on catching walleye. Meanwhile, Fraley is experiencing frustration because that was his second close call. Naturally, he blames the tools. "I'm about to throw this rod," Fraley warns. "If this rod were golf clubs, they'd be in the water by now!" Rodenhauser catches his first walleye from his position in the stern. Everyone on board runs to get a glimpse of the catch. Another collective cheer follows. There are four people fishing and the two NFL players have nothing to show at the moment. Their competitive juices start to percolate. "All right Hank, it's you and I," Thomas says. "We got to put one in the boat."
10:20 a.m.
Thomas' face lights up when he feels the pull on his rod. In the clutch, he reels in his first walleye with just enough force and finesse. "I'm in the boat!" Thomas declares with relief. Fraley's disappointment grows. There is a certain pressure that comes with being the only fisherman on board without a catch, and right now Fraley is that guy. On the other hand, Thomas is euphoric after his first catch. "I just love this," Thomas tells everyone. "This is what I fell in love with: me and my dad [Eric Thomas] just fishing all day."
Thomas loves the outdoors because he grew up in Brookfield, Wisc., where hunting and fishing are popular. Thomas and his father fished in Lake Michigan often.
Egan decides it's time to change location to catch more fish. Everyone moves to the stern -- in travel position -- to sail several miles down the lake. Thomas, meanwhile, explains why he passed up New York City on draft day in 2007 to go fishing.
"My dad and I told my agent that I didn't want to go to New York, and my agent agreed," Thomas says. "Going there wasn't going to change anything. So I figured it would be a great way to relive my childhood and do something with my dad. I knew my life would be different after that day, at least for the next year."11:05 a.m.
Tot | Solo | Ast | FF | Sack | Int |
5 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The boat settles and the crew puts up outriggers. Still pitching a shutout, Fraley puts up his rod and commands the wheel full time. "I'm Captain Hank now," he says. "Captain Hank!" everyone immediately salutes to the skipper. "The funny thing is he's captain on the team, too," Thomas tells everyone. "Now he has dual captain roles." "Captain Hank" describes how operating a boat is different from driving a car or truck. "You have no brakes," Fraley says. "Basically your brake is paying attention and making sure you don't run into anybody." At this point stomachs begin to growl. Egan is the first to grab a turkey-and-swiss sandwich. Several minutes later, everyone is snacking on something. The crew decides trolling is easier and sets up eight rods at different depths in the water. The strategy works. Thomas catches his second walleye and the look of pure joy takes over his face once again. "It's just very cool," Thomas says of fishing. "You don't know what you're catching. Sometimes you don't even get it in the boat. So it makes that thrill when you do catch a big fish that much more exciting."
As the food settles, something goes terribly wrong.
The writer is feeling seasick.
More than three hours of constant rocking and shaking suddenly take their toll. It's been 21 years since the writer last went fishing. Who knew this would happen? Seasickness feels like a headache, motion sickness and a queasy stomach all at once. And when you see nothing but water on each side of you, it doesn't help. Fraley notices the change in demeanor. "You don't get seasick do you?" he asks. "Nah, I'm fine." the writer says, lying. When you're on a boat with two guys who maul defensive linemen for a living, claiming seasickness doesn't win you much sympathy. "If you [throw up], we got the cameras!" Fraley jokes. After poking fun at Fraley's struggle to catch fish earlier, the writer understands his plight certainly is fair game.12:20 p.m.
After awhile, the queasiness becomes more manageable.
Fraley is back on the rods and catches his first walleye. Everyone is happy Fraley got the monkey off his back. Now the four fishermen have at least one catch each, so the crew is playing with house money the rest of the afternoon. Thomas' rod jumps again as he leads the group with three walleyes. This particular catch is his biggest of the day. "This is a dandy!" Thomas says. "This is what we all come out here for." Thomas estimates this particular walleye weighs seven pounds. "You can probably feed six people -- or one Hank Fraley," he jokes. The conversation quickly turns to how much Thomas and Fraley can eat in one sitting. Thomas recalls a time the two recently ate together. Thomas tried to keep up with Fraley to no avail.1:40 p.m.
With enough fish and footage in tow, everyone sits down and relaxes.
The satellite radio is turned back on and the comedy channel is blasting.
"I just told my therapist I have multiple personalities," the comedian says, " so I could get a group rate." The Coast Guard zooms by the boat as Fraley had predicted. But the guardsmen are traveling too fast and far away to notice the Browns on the boat. Egan sits next to the writer and explains how impressed he is with Thomas' passion for the outdoors. He says Thomas was shy at first but really started to display his personality by the third episode and is improving with every show. "I'm surprised how well it's going because this is the first year he's been doing it," Egan says. "I thought, 'I'm 63 and he's 23, how are we going to get along?' But from day one, he's been really good to deal with. A lot of players are big on themselves, but Joe is a just good, humble kid. I don't know anyone who has anything bad to say about him."2:50 p.m.
After a slow period, everyone is thinking of heading back to shore.
The boat speeds up and attacks the waves with furor. Everyone is enjoying the rush from the jumps in the waves and the stiff breeze. Thomas is sitting with his hands behind his head and a smile on his face as he sums up today's experience that includes seven walleye catches.
"It was a good day," Thomas says. "We caught some good fish and took Hank's boat out for the first time. It's always good to go out with friends, and we get to film a television show as a bonus."3:20 p.m.
The boat slows as it approaches the docks. Fraley backs it in like a pro, and Egan and Anderson jump off to grab the ropes.
As the crew begins to tie the boat, Fraley has an epiphany. He realizes the day is still young. "What time is it?" he asks. "I think I'm going back out today. I have nothing better to do." Thomas & Co. are all in agreement: Enough fish and sunlight remain for a second voyage.James Walker covers the NFL for ESPN.com.

The Touchless Control feature on the Moto X and Verizon's 2013 DROIDs (Ultra, Maxx, and Mini) is already one of the coolest Android manufacturer add-ons around. Today it gets just a little cooler: the Touchless Control app was updated to add a "What's up" command. This voice command will make your phone read out the unread notifications in your status bar. This should be great for hands-free updates while driving. Or bathing.
Motorola's Spotlight Player, available only for the Moto X, serves you interactive films stuck somewhere between being as involving as a game and as passive as a movie. Motorola's first "Spotlight Story" came out late last year with the name Windy Day. The film, created by Ratatouille director Jan Pinkava, tasked players with moving their Moto Xs around to find items and trigger parts of the experience. Now another story is available by the name of Buggy Night (this time directed by animator Mark Oftedal), and it works much the same way.
One of the biggest advantages of Motorola's latest phones is that they've been rapidly updated to Android 4.4. But at least some owners of the low-cost Moto G are having serious issues after updating to 4.4.2. Many posters on the official Motorola support forums are saying that their phones are intermittently dropping all cell signals, and in some cases even losing connection with the phone's SIM card. These issues were not reported before the Android 4.4 update.
The Motorola RAZR i launched in late 2012 with the original version of Jelly Bean installed Ice Cream Sandwich, so it should come as no surprise that owners have been nervously waiting to see if they would get an update to Android 4.4. While the answer has been up in the air until now, Motorola's now saying that the device will eventually get bumped up to KitKat.
Previously the page read: "This device is currently running Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) Future plan coming soon."
That's all we have for now.
A few days ago, we published a story about Google's possibly upcoming smartwatch. Current rumors suggest that the watch may be ready in time for Google I/O, and that it might be made by LG. We also mentioned that we had heard of a Motorola prototype previously - a prototype that may have been scrapped in favor of a new design from the manufacturer who made the Nexus 4 and 5.
Motorola Mobility held a Q&A session at Mobile World Congress today, and while there wasn't much in the way of spectacle to coincide with the event, there were quite a few substantive announcements. For starters, the company is working on a watch that will be available some time this year. This won't be the first thing Motorola's tried to strap onto our wrists, but the company says style and battery life are two things it intends to address, and it would prefer to create a piece of jewelry rather than ugly tech.
Google's Advanced Technology And Projects group (ATAP) in charge of Projects Ara and Tango, recently transferred to Google after the sale of Motorola Mobility to Lenovo, has the best motto ever (at least when it comes to divisions in large, publicly traded companies).
If your phone was already one of the very first devices to get the latest version of Android, do you really need a custom ROM like CyanogenMod? If you're shouting "YES" at the screen right now, you'll want to know about the first nightly builds available for the Moto X. The CM team has published CM11 nightlies for the Moto X on T-Mobile (XT1053, which is also the standard unlocked GSM edition) and for Verizon (XT1060), though the later needs to be a Developer Edition.

Is it possible to insert a formula or is there an existing expression I could use to calculate area in acres from a General Overall Length line label if I input the width?
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by Jeff_M. See the answer in context.
Create a new General Line label exprssion, call it "Area of 50 foot wide easement". Use this exprssion:
In the label style, add the exprssion into the text component, formatted for Acres:
and the result:
{General Overall Area}/43560
Thanks for the reply Joe. I'm not real experienced with expressions so I'll explain what I am trying to do. I have a distance label style set up for line segments. The lines I am labeling represent the centerlines of 50 foot wide easements. What I would like the label to report is the segment length and area in acres based on the segment length. I need a formula or expression to multiply the reported segment length by 50 and then divide by 43560 and have this acreage reported in my label.
Create a new General Line label exprssion, call it "Area of 50 foot wide easement". Use this exprssion:
In the label style, add the exprssion into the text component, formatted for Acres:
and the result:
Eureka! Joe got me on the right track and thanks to you Jeff I was able to make it work. The part I was missing was the "Format results as" in the Edit Expression window. Now that I have it set to "Area", it works.
Now, is there any way I can make this area part of the label not print?
Thank you Joe and Jeff,
Have a good day.
On the Format tab of the Text Component Editor, change the color for this component to be 255. Most plotters will not plot this as it is essentially white.

After Shocking Loss To Appalachian St, Wolverines' Carr Feeling Heat |
Sunday, 02 September 2007 06:00 |
Heat is on Carr Lloyd Carr started his career at Michigan by winning 10 of his first 11 games against Top 10 teams. Oh, and he lost to Appalachian State on Saturday. Guess which one he'll be remembered for? Appalachian State's 34-32 victory over fifth-ranked Michigan in Ann Arbor sent shockwaves across Car Flag Nation on college football's first Saturday. But the most damage is likely to be felt in the Michigan football offices, where you'll find the hottest seat in the country. Michigan can run the table the rest of the way - not that we like its chances after Saturday - and the Wolverines will be laughed out of every discussion about the BCS title game in New Orleans. Off Saturday's loss, it's clear that the Wolverines are more likely to spend the holidays someplace much less glamorous, such as San Antonio or Orlando. The question is, will Carr be there with them? It will become an issue every time a Michigan recruiter knocks on a blue-chipper's door. It will provide an unsettling background for Carr's dealings with the media, which are never warm in the best of times. That's what one hideous, unthinkable loss can do. Saturday's result from the Big House no doubt brought a few smiles down in Columbus - although shrewd Buckeyes fans might not want Michigan to relieve Carr, given his recent struggles against Jim Tressel. And the score had to raise spirits in South Bend, Ind., if only because it will bump Notre Dame's humiliating 33-3 loss to Georgia Tech off the front of the Sunday sports section. That's the way college football works. One man's misery is another's celebration. Right now, Carr is feeling plenty of misery. The Appalachian State loss is a stark contrast to the start of Carr's tenure at Michigan in 1995. He took the job under uncomfortable circumstances - the abrupt offseason firing of Gary Moeller, dismissed for off-the-field problems. Though he had scores of doubters from the start, Carr was the ultimate big-game coach early in his career - and he was much more adept at winning the biggies than Bo Schembechler ever was. Carr has lost five of his last seven games against Top 10 teams. Given his fabulous start, some cooling off was to be expected. Carr has never been embraced by Michigan fans. To some, he was too conservative, unwilling to unleash his talent. After the Wolverines gritted out a close win over Ohio State on their way to the national title, a relieved Carr admitted that he had considered punting on third down several times late in the game and turning the game over to Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson and his defense. The 1997 national title only served to ratchet up expectations in Ann Arbor. Carr privately wondered if he could ever do enough to satisfy the Maize and Blue beast. But as long as Carr won, he could keep the critics at bay. His biggest sin, in the eyes of many Michigan fans, is that he's not Schembechler. But who is? Michigan fans don't like losing to the Buckeyes and the Trojans. But there's no shame. by: Anthony White - theSpread.com - Email Us More NCAA College Football Coverage from theSpread.com - NCAA College Football public betting chart |
