The U.S. State Department has released its annual "Trafficking in Persons" (Tip) report, used to not only further educate people about global human trafficking, but to identify countries where trafficking is most problematic. The report gives each nation a "tiered" rating. Tier 1 countries are those that fully comply with international laws and standards of the the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Tier 2 nations are on a watch list as they are making efforts to comply with the Act, but are still struggling with full compliance. Tier 3 countries make no effort to comply with this international standard. (more…)
Today at Acton University, Fr. Michael Butler examined the history of Church-State relations in the Orthodox Tradition with special reference to the modern, Russian context in his lecture "Orthodoxy, Church, and State." The audio of his lecture will be available via Ancient Faith Radio sometime in the coming weeks. As a teaser, I would like to briefly examine two concepts of Orthodox political theory to which Fr. Butler devoted specific attention: symphonia and sobornost.
Due to the influence of Max Weber, symphonia is often mischaracterized as caesaropapism (a term he coined), the state in which a nation's sovereign is supreme in all ecclesiastical matters as well as those of state. It would be, then, a complete absorption of the Church by the state. Actual historical instances of this would include (to varying degrees) the Church of England where the monarch is the head and Imperial Russia from Tsar Peter the Great's Westernizing reforms to the Bolshevik revolution. In the latter case, as Fr. Michael noted, one can see a distortion of symphonia for the elevation of state power, but not its essence or, by far, the complete historical picture. (more…)
"There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word– Man" ― George Orwell, Animal Farm
We are clearly at a point where we are all to be treated as criminals. Why? Because it's politically incorrect to name the actual criminals. If a terrorist is fueled by a fundamentalist vision of his religion, such as the Tsarnaev brothers, we are told that their radical roots are "mysterious" or religion wasn't even a factor in their choice to bomb the Boston marathon. If we, as a society, are unable to pin down what is behind terrorism, then everyone becomes suspect. (more…)
AEI Scholar Christina Hoff Sommers is on a quest to reclaim feminism. Her new book, Freedom Feminism and Why It Matters Today, explores why so many women today reject the title of "feminist." She discusses the topic further in the following video.
On June 11, 1963 Alabama Governor George Wallace became a national symbol for racial segregation by blocking the doors of a school to physically prevent the integration of Alabama schools. According to the Alabama Department of Archives, Governor Wallace "stood in the door-way to block the attempt of two black students, Vivian Malone and James Hood, to register at the University of Alabama. President John F. Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard, and ordered its units to the university campus. Wallace then stepped aside and returned to Montgomery, allowing the students to enter." Unfortunately, the way Wallace defended what he did compromised the promotion of political and religious liberty for the generations that followed.
At the standoff, Wallace defended his actions by an official proclamation saying:
Alliance Defending Freedom has released a transcript and audio of a phone conversation an IRS agent placed to a non-profit organization that provides support to women in abusive pregnancy situations. In the recorded phone conversation, the agent lectures the president of the organization about forcing its religion and beliefs on others and inaccurately explains that the group must remain neutral on issues such as abortion.
12 year old girls are a lot of things, but keenly aware of their own bodies, biological functions and the side effects of medications are typically not among their strong suits. Imagine a 12 year old girl who isn't even sure how she might get pregnant, let alone if she is. Imagine a 12 year old who's been coerced into having sex or has even been raped. Imagine she may or may not be pregnant, but has contracted an STD and doesn't know it. Imagine she's so afraid of being pregnant that she takes the 'morning-after' medication 2 or 3 times, "just to be sure." Imagine the harm being done to her young body and mind, with no counsel from a parent and a medical professional. In fact, the parents have no rights here, despite the fact that there are only five states in the U.S. that do not have laws regarding piercings and/or tattoos for minors. The Obama administration has decided that a child facing an unplanned pregnancy needs less parental supervision than one who wants to get a nose ring. (more…)
Three years ago the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that corporations have the same rights as individuals to engage in political speech. As Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the Citizens United decision, the "corporate identity" of a speaker did not justify a reduced level of free speech protection. Can that same concept about corporate identity be applied to religious liberties? Do corporations have religious liberty rights too?
Some legal scholars are claiming they do not:
Last night in Dublin I was having a conversation with a 65-year-old man who was ranting about the high unemployment rate in the European Union, which in the 17-nation currency area rose to 12.2 percent in April. The current unemployment rate is a new record since the data series began in 1995. My new friend was very open about being an outright socialist and said that Europe's problem is that people are not being treated fairly.
Capitalism, he explained, promotes a culture where people do not share their resources because it encourages inequality. To solve the European unemployment crisis, my friend suggested that Europe "needs a dictator" to come in and simply tell everyone what to do so that there will be true equality. The problem, however, my Irish friend confessed, is that when someone gets in a power "they get carried away with it," and people end up being taken advantage of. He did not seem able to connect the dots that countries that have tried socialism and dictatorships are countries where the poor are worse off in the long-run. Therefore, his proposal will not work.
The conversation raised several questions for me. To start, I wondered why this 65-year-old man drinking a Smithwick's beer, sitting next to me drinking a pint of Guinness, did not see that we were both experiencing equality thanks to the free market, property rights, and the rule of law. I also wondered why he thinks that something like socialism would be the best way forward given the fact that a form of it is currently not working in the European Union.
The conservative-libertarian fusionism conversation is gaining new life as discussions and reflections about the state of the Republican party reverberate after last year's election. Ben Domenech has a particularly worthwhile outline of what he calls a "libertarian populist agenda."
Last month's discussion at Cato Unbound also focused on fusionism, and in this post I'd like to bring together some of the various threads to conclude for a vision of conservative-libertarian fusionism (or at least co-belligerence) in the economic sphere.
In one of his discussion posts, Clark Ruper asserts that "a libertarian can be 'socially conservative' or 'socially progressive.'" But he then proceeds to use the research of Boaz and Kirby, which identifies a group as "fiscally conservative and socially liberal-libertarian" as definitive of a new generation of liberty-minded voters. This ambiguity gets precisely at what Domenech calls in today's edition of The Transom the difficulty posed for fusionism by "the more atheist and agnostic strands of libertarianism, particularly the urban variety."
It's easier for these strands to give lip-service to the openness of the libertarian cause to "social conservatives" than to really identify the coherence of conservative social values with libertarianism. This gets precisely at the dynamic I intended to highlight in my initial post about the limitations of libertarianism as a political philosophy of limited government as opposed to a fully-blown world-and-life view. If you think that libertarianism is really a political philosophy that remains largely agnostic about things other than government, then you are more likely to really think that "a libertarian can be 'socially conservative' or 'socially progressive.'" But if you think of libertarianism as an ideological worldview that has to do with maximizing individual choice and autonomy in every conceivable sphere (political or not), then you are much more likely to see libertarianism as entailing social liberalism (or what some conservatives deride as libertinism).
The upshot of this is that I think the key to any constructive fusionism must deal on the basis of seeking liberty in the realm of political economy, something that both conservatives and libertarians ought to be able to unite on. We ought to be able to come together to defend and promote a system of political economy that best promotes human flourishing, particularly by addressing the problem of poverty and the complex challenges of wealth creation. This is in part why I find a movement like the Bleeding Heart Libertarians is encouraging.
In another dialogue about fusionism, Jonah Goldberg asserted that there should always be a "libertarian in the room," referring to the context of political discussions, because "the libertarian in the room asks the right question: Why is this a job for government?"
I think we might be able to bring Jonah Goldberg and Johnny Cash together on this point, to say that there always ought to be a "libertarian in black" in the room, asking the right questions about what government policies do for the people, particularly the poor. As Johnny sang,
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

Well yeah.I believe everyone womens goal should be to please her man to the best of her abilities. If a guy I'm seeing has fantasies.I learn what those fantasies are to the detail and make them happen. I believe it you do not satisfy your man.then that when cheating comes into play

I guess it depends on the time, a friend of mine had his girlfriend trying to suck him off in the early morning to wake him up because they had plans for the day. He wasn't too happy because he wanted to sleep more and was a bit grumpy. If we had our morning wood then it would be pretty pleasant though.
I dunno, even if I had work to do that day, a morning bj would probably set me in the right mood. Just me though, I guess.

Google Inc., operator of the world's most-popular search engine, is investing in a new company focused on health and well-being.
The business, called Calico, will address the challenge of aging and related diseases, Google said in a blog posting. The venture will be led by Arthur Levinson, chairman of Roche Holding AG's Genentech unit and a former Google director.
Contact information ( * required )
The focus on health, which Google Chief Executive Officer Larry Page acknowledged was a "lot different from what Google does today," comes as the co-founder himself battles with personal ailments. Earlier this year, he disclosed he was diagnosed with left vocal-cord paralysis, a condition that restricts vocal-cord movement, and is also experiencing impairment on the right side.
"Illness and aging affect all our families," Page said in the posting. "With some longer term, moonshot thinking around health care and biotechnology, I believe we can improve millions of lives."
Google is stepping up investments in areas outside its core online-advertising and consumer-services business. The search provider has already put money into health-related companies through its venture arm, called Google Ventures, among other sectors. The Mountain View, California-based company has also worked on longer-term bets through a research unit that's unveiled plans for computerized eyeglasses and driverless cars.
Levinson, who is also a founding investor in Calico, will remain a director of Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. as well as chairman of Apple Inc. Google's announcement didn't include any details on the size of the new health-care company or the scope of the investment.
The new venture comes after Levinson stepped down from Google's board in 2009, a move that resolved a regulatory probe into overlapping directors at Google and Apple. Both companies have continued to compete in more areas, including on mobile devices and in software.
Tim Cook, who took over as Apple's CEO after Steve Jobs died in 2011 at the age of 56 from complications of pancreatic cancer, praised Levinson in the Google statement.
"For too many of our friends and family, life has been cut short or the quality of their life is too often lacking," Cook said. "Art is one of the crazy ones who thinks it doesn't have to be this way. There is no one better suited to lead this mission and I am excited to see the results."
Page's health condition can result in hoarse speech and labored breathing, though according to doctors won't impede him from running the company.
Google rose 1.9 percent to $903.32 at 4 p.m. New York time today. The shares have gained 28 percent this year.

BitTorrent's Mainline DHT Security Assessment
Free registration required
Executive Summary
BitTorrent is a widely deployed P2P file sharing protocol, extensively used to distribute digital content and software updates, among others. Recent actions against torrent and tracker repositories have fostered the move towards a fully distributed solution based on a distributed hash table to support both torrent search and tracker implementation. In this paper, the authors present a security study of the main decentralized tracker in BitTorrent, commonly known as the Mainline DHT. They show that the lack of security in Mainline DHT allows very efficient attacks that can easily impact the operation of the whole network. They also provide a peer-ID distribution analysis of the network, so as to adapt previous protection schemes to the Mainline DHT.

You really just need someone who rebounds well and provides some kind of defensive skill the meshes with the other frontcourt guys. Greg Monroe's strength isn't weak-side defense. The Pistons need someone on the roster that who can cover block/alter shots at the rim. They also need the right perimeter guys to put our bigs in the best situations. Right now that's only Zombie Tayshaun. Greg Monroe can peak at around 15-18ppg, which is fine for your top big man scoring option. But he's going to be most effective with complementary players around him. There aren't many of those on this roster.
Marreese Speights! He's in the last year of his rookie contract! He's hungry and he doesn't "fit" into what Doug Collins is doing in Philly! He can be had for a 2nd rd pick. He's 6-10, 245 with some offensive game. At a minimum he's better than Max and/or Ben.
Collins loves the the old school Pistons. Can Tay be traded yet? I can't believe that Joe couldn't put together some kind of package that would have sent Rip back home to Philly to play for Collins. Collins has always had a huge man-crush on Hamilton.
If that's really all it took then that would be great. Start him and Monroe and they'd actually have some size. He can play which probably puts him out of Joe's sights though.
I would love to try something like that (Bengo and a 2nd for Speights). Taking a flier on a talented big guy seems like a new lose proposition to me. Maybe more importantly, that would commit the Pistons to playing time at the SG for Daye - which should be his best position. Right now, Daye is blocked by Gordon, Tay and JJ.
I agree. I think that Bengo, Daye, and a 2nd round pick is a fair price for Speights. Get it done, Joe!
I just recently saw the movie "Moneyball" and once upon a time I think Joe was trying to do what Billy Beane did with the Oakland A's. Assemble a bunch of players that were undervalued to contend despite what talent scouts said or what the conventional wisdom was. In effect he was trying to reinvent the game. It netted us the 04 championship. I am not sure if he is on that path, although Billy Beane in Oakland is still trying to win the championship based on Sabermetrics. Boston did it twice with Bill James as a consultant. I thnik Joe may have lost his Peter Brand/Bill James once John Hammond left. He needs to find someone who can evaluate beyond the conventional and not be personally tied up with conventional wisdom. He also needs to be proactive with the coach and force him to play the players he has assembled. Billy Beane was never afraid to let his manager know who to play. Just my 2 cents for an analogy.
I'm not really sure that Dumars incorporates any type of analysis whatsoever in his approach other than personal observations. Weren't we one of the last teams to get a stats guy on board?
We are really missing this player x, just anyone with size who can play D and rebound. Its becoming apparent that the Monroe/JJ combo is not working. JJ should be at the 3 if that spot was not already covered for the next 4 years. Maybe he can be a sub at the 4 and go against their second line player instead of their starter.
If we decide to go after this Speights guy, here's what we should offer: Max "Bengo" Daye Stuckey 2nd rounder
Good point. You'd probably have to throw those guys in to make it work. So the Pistons would get Speights. In exchange, we would give up: Chaz Tay 1st round draft pick Max "Bengo" Daye Stuckey 2nd rounder I checked it on the ESPN Trade Machine and the salaries do match. Make it happen, Joe.

Ron's Match Reports
28th February 2015 - Bristol Telephones ease to victory over Hanham
Chipping Sodbury hang on to top spot with a draw at home to Kings Stanley, whist Cheltenham Civil Service back in league action this week take the three points at Bishops Cleeve Reserves to move into second place.
No change at the bottom of the table as all three teams lost.
Bristol Telephones who have scored 96 goals this season beat local rivals Hanham Athletic 3-0 but it should have been a much bigger score-line if the home side had converted numerous chances throughout the game. Phones Luke Palmer shot over the bar after surging into the box on 5 minutes. A minute later Hanham's Mark Johns got his shot on target but it went straight to Will Osborne in the home goal. After 11 minutes phones were in front the ball was hit into the box Dhani Golding pushed it forward for Aaron Mcquaid to draw the keeper and slide the ball home. Hanham's Shaun Morris got his 30 yard drive on target but it was not good enough to beat Osborne. In the 18th minute Fletcher just managed to push Mcquaid's shot wide of the post. Then Dhani Goldings shot was deflected of a Hanham defender onto the bar. The best effort from the visitor's came in the 23rd minute a shot from Shaun Morris that had Osborne diving to his right to stop the shot going in and then had to be quick to gather the loose ball. The visitors defence were leading a charmed life as Fletcher again pushed a Dhani Golding header over the bar. In the 38th minute Martin Blacker had a great chanced to make it 2-0 but fired his shot over the bar from 12 yards.
The second half continued in the same vein with Luke Palmer's shot went just over the bar in the first minute. Telephones went 2-0 up on 51 minutes when the visitors were caught out just inside their own half and Dhani Golding covering 40 yards before rounding Fletcher to score. Fletcher had to be at his best when he turned away a 30 yard shot from Jack Cox. Hanham barely threatened the home goal and a rare shot from Morris in the 60th minute told the story. Golding should have made it 3-0 on 54 minutes when Kyran Hunt broke clear down the left squared the ball to Golding but the striker was to casual and pulled his shot wide. In the 73rd minute a long ball from keeper Osborne was misjudged by the Hanham defence and Aaron McQuaid ran clear to steal the ball away from Fletcher and slide it into an empty net. The home side just kept pressing but they were unable to add to their tally. An unsavoury incident a few minutes from the end saw both sides finish with ten men.
Cheltenham Civil Service gained a 2-0 victory at local rivals Bishops Cleeve Reserves gaining revenge for their only defeat of the season so far. A cross come shot from the edge of the box by John Evans put the visitors ahead after 20 minutes. A second in the 70th minute from Paul Holmes made sure of the three points.
AEK Boco's opener came in the 20 minute with good work from midfield and Jordan Scott setting up Ben Menear for a well worked goal. A second for the home side on 33 minute with a superbly placed 25 yard free kick curled in by Liam Powell. Ellwood's chances were rare and in the 67 minute they gave away a penalty which was coolly netted by Liam Powell for his second of the game. The visitors hit back to score a consolation goal in the 75th minute a superb solo strike by Daryl Addis a left footed shot that curled into the net.
Henbury went behind to a Simon Clark penalty after 15 minutes at home to Kingswood, but hit back with two second half goals to win the game. Kane Simpson bent his shot around the keeper in the 55th minute to level and a cross field ball found Shaun Heal to set up Jack Mills to score the winner late on.
Thornbury Town lacked the punch of the last few weeks and could only manage a draw at home to Southmead CS Athletic who gave the home side plenty to think about on the day. A goalless first 45 minutes was broken very early in the second half by the visitors with a cross into the box that found Danny Tomlin to drive the ball into the far corner. Town's Luke Franklins 30 yard shot struck the top of the cross bar on 55 minutes and Darren Coghlan had a great chance to put Southmead two up in the 65th minute. Town got the equaliser on 75 minutes a corner that was headed out and fell to Franklin whose shot was blocked but Mark Viner stabbed the ball home from the rebound. Southmead found themselves under the cosh for the last 10 minutes when they lost Ben Roe after picking up a second yellow card.
Gala Wilton took the three points at home to Yate Town Reserves but they had to wait until the last 15 minutes to score the two goals that won them the game. A through ball to Lee Allen gave him the chance to put the home side one up but the keeper saved his shot and the rebound fell kindly for Ben Jones to drive the ball home. In the 80th minute it was Allen involved again as he sped towards goal only to be upended in the box for a penalty. Allen took the kick and made no mistake.
Berkeley Town are in real trouble after getting hammered 6-1 at home to local rivals Frampton United. The home side got off to a great start taking the lead on 22 minutes when Ben Gillison turned in a long free kick. Within a minute Frampton levelled with a goal from Chris Fower. A Kris Bulley shot from the edge of the box put the visitors 2-1 up after 39 minutes and a minute later the visitors were 3-1 up when Richard Reece put the ball into his own net. Just before the break Frampton increased their lead to 4-1 when Chris Fower netted from the penalty spot. Two further goals from Radford Hogben in the 55th and 79th minute put the final nail in the coffin for the home side.
Patchway Town's were unable to repeat their win at Kings Stanley last week after going down 4-2 at home to Rockleaze Rangers. Rangers got off to a great start on 20 minutes when Alex Fox's 25 yard unstoppable shot fizzed past the home keeper, but within 2 minutes Town were level with a very special 30 yard screamer from Brandon Benjamin. A James Griffiths header put the visitors back in front before Town levelled again when Tallen Smith rose to head home a Tom Stewart cross. A missed penalty by Alex Graham on 62 minutes cost the home side dearly as 8 minutes later Griffiths netted his second to put Ranger in the lead. The home side were caught out again in time added when Tobias Hart scored a forth for Rangers.
Chipping Sodbury hang on to top spot after they were held to a 0-0 score-line at home to third in the table Kings Stanley. Stanley defended very well and soaked up anything that came at them. According to the report neither side deserved to win this game

Re: Site title in IE/Opera titlebar
1. Indefinite Articles: a and an
A and an signal that the noun modified is indefinite, referring to any member of a group. These indefinite articles are used with singular nouns when the noun is general; the corresponding indefinite quantity word some is used for plural general nouns. The rule is:
a + singular noun beginning with a consonant: a boy
an + singular noun beginning with a vowel: an elephant
a + singular noun beginning with a consonant sound: a user (sounds like 'yoo-zer,' i.e. begins with a consonant 'y' sound, so 'a' is used)
some + plural noun: some girls
If the noun is modified by an adjective, the choice between a and an depends on the initial sound of the adjective that immedately follows the article:
a broken egg
an unusual problem
a European country (sounds like 'yer-o-pi-an,' i.e. begins with consonant 'y' sound)
Note also that in English, the indefinite articles are used to indicate membership in a profession, nation, or religion.
I am a teacher.
Brian is an Irishman.
Seiko is a practicing Buddhist.

Four fire departments needed to extinguish flames. No injuries reported.
Early Monday morning, firefighters remained on the scene of an overnight house fire in Minnetonka.
Crews were dispatched to the structure on Victor Lane around 9:15 p.m. Sunday. Before night's end, firefighters from Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins and St. Louis Park joined in battling the blaze.
By 1:30 a.m. Monday, the big flames were out, but firefighters were still putting out smaller ones, according to the Minnetonka Police Department.
"When officers arrived on the scene smoke and fire were coming from the attached garage of a single family dwelling," said a statement issued by police after midnight. "All of the occupants were evacuated from the home. The home was severely damaged as a result of the fire."
No one was injured, the statement said.
Minnetonka's police and fire departments are still investigating to determine the fire's cause.

NFL Nation: 2013 AFC free-agency primer
Cap Status: The Ravens are a projected $3 million to $4 million under the cap, which is why they're asking wide receiver Anquan Boldin to take a pay cut.
Strategy: The Ravens' focus early in free agency has always been retaining their key players. This year is no different. The priority is re-signing Dannell Ellerbe because inside linebacker is the team's biggest need. If the Ravens are able to do that, they'll turn their attention to safety Ed Reed. When it comes to signing other teams' free agents, the Ravens' strategy is patience. Baltimore has rarely been declared the winner in March, but it always finds a way to win in the playoffs. Last offseason, no one was applauding the Ravens for signing receiver-returner Jacoby Jones and cornerback Corey Graham. But they were both key members of the Super Bowl team. Outside of inside linebacker, look for the Ravens to bring in a young defensive tackle. The Ravens were disappointed with nose tackles Ma'ake Kemoeatu and Terrence Cody.
Cap Status: The Bengals are among the top three teams in terms of cap space.
Strategy: The Bengals' reputation is not making a big splash in free agency, and that shouldn't change this year. Cincinnati has been active already, re-signing three special-teams players (kicker Mike Nugent, punter Kevin Huber and long snapper Clark Harris) and backup defensive end Wallace Gilberry. The Bengals' priority has to be finding a right tackle, outside linebackers and a strong safety. They will look to re-sign Andre Smith, but they have plenty of options at right tackle (Detroit's Gosder Cherilus and Minnesota's Phil Loadholt) if they fail to do so. The Bengals also need to address outside linebacker because starters Thomas Howard and Manny Lawson are free agents. With Vontaze Burfict expected to move to the middle, there's a possibility that Cincinnati could bring back Rey Maualuga and shift him to the outside. The Bengals could address the situation in free agency, but they may not be willing to overspend on someone like Dashon Goldson, even though he would be a great fit. It's a position they can fill in the draft as well.
Cap Status: Like the Bengals, the Browns rank among the top three teams in cap room.
Strategy: Based on reports, the Browns have been very active during the three-day negotiating period, and they should be. Cleveland has a lot of holes on its team and has a lot of money to spend. Finding a pass-rusher ranks very high on the Browns' list. Cleveland has been linked to Detroit's Cliff Avril and could get in a bidding war with the Colts over Baltimore's Paul Kruger. It's also possible the Browns could pursue Steelers linebacker James Harrison. The Browns aren't expected to bring back Sheldon Brown and need to find another starting cornerback. Three potential targets are: Pittsburgh's Keenan Lewis, San Diego's Antoine Cason and Arizona's Greg Toler. On offense, the Browns are looking to replace Ben Watson, another free agent who isn't expected to return. Tennessee's Jared Cook is reportedly high on the Browns' list.
Cap Status: The Steelers were approximately $3.4 million under before re-signing guard Ramon Foster.
Strategy: The Steelers are entering free agency with very little cap room, especially after re-signing Foster. So, don't expect the Steelers to be active in free agency. That isn't a newsflash because the Steelers have never been major players in March. Remember last year, when it took Pittsburgh 28 days to sign a free agent, and it was only backup tight end Leonard Pope? If the Steelers had more cap room, this would be the year when they would have been more of a factor in free agency. The Steelers have holes at running back and outside linebacker. Pittsburgh can't have confidence in Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Redman to carry the ground game. The same goes for Jason Worilds and Chris Carter, who will be hard-pressed to fill the void left by the release of Harrison. The Steelers will have to wait for the draft to address these needs.
Cap status: Pretty tight, with just over $9 million in cushion. But the Texans can gain room with a cut (receiver Kevin Walter is the prime candidate) and have lots of room for restructures with receiver Andre Johnson and/or cornerback Johnathan Joseph.
Strategy: Lay back. They are most concerned with their own guys, and safety Glover Quin and outside linebacker Connor Barwin head that list. Lose them and they could be shoppers for replacements, but we're talking midlevel to low-level guys, not the high-priced, top-tier guys getting all of the hype as free agency opens. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips has an affinity for guys who've played in his system before, so keep an eye on safety Gerald Sensabaugh and, if he's released, defensive tackle Jay Ratliff. They could patch in some guys later, but anything big early would amount to a big surprise.
Cap status: The Colts have just under $40 million of room. They pledge not to behave like it's burning a hole in their pocket.
Strategy: They will look to strike the right deals with some key new people who can fill holes and add production and leadership. It's easy to draw lines that connect Pagano to guys he's coached in Baltimore such as outside linebacker Paul Kruger and cornerback Cary Williams. They are still looking to fill out the roster with people who can play in Pagano's 3-4 front. The scheme requires at least one more cornerback who can play a lot of man-to-man coverage. Maximizing Andrew Luck's chances for success is a priority, and a couple of linemen are necessary to stay on that mission. Another receiver could be a target, too. But Grigson won't force free-agent moves and hopes to have another impact draft that will have a big bearing on how this team fares, too.
Cap status: They've got more than $26 million in cap room, but they also have a couple of empty spots on the depth chart, such as strong safety, right tackle and left guard.
Strategy: All indications are the Jaguars will slow-play free agency. They are unlikely to jump out and sign a guy or two to big contracts, as some bloated free-agent contracts are one of the issues Caldwell inherits. But Tier 2 guys who the team thinks can be pillars of a new program and lead the way for young players will be the core of the franchise moving forward. They have two guys heading into the market in linebacker Daryl Smith and cornerback Derek Cox. They won't overpay, but losing them will create more holes. And this team is super thin at cornerback already.
Cap status: Over $16 million of room with easily makeable cuts that will save more as the team needs the room and finds guys to add to the roster.
Strategy: More aggressive than usual, in both willingness to spend and number of people they will bring in. This team needs an infusion of talent and leadership. Their top free agents -- tight end Jared Cook and defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks -- are expected to leave. Look for one big signing, perhaps Buffalo guard Andy Levitre, and several more with a lower price tag. Positions that could be addressed include guard, defensive tackle, tight end, cornerback and safety. They may be waiting on their pass-rusher until the draft. This is a huge time for Webster and Munchak, who will really be putting their stamp on the roster with guys they need to lift the team to a better level of play if they want to hold on to their jobs.
Cap Status: The Bills do not have a ton of cap space compared to last year. But they have some flexibility and can still make a run at several players. Buffalo recently re-signed cornerback Leodis McKelvin and placed the franchise tag on safety Jairus Byrd, and those contracts will somewhat limit what the team can do this week. The Bills were among the biggest players in free agency in 2012 and spent a large chunk of their cap on $100 million defensive end Mario Williams.
Strategy: The Bills are very much a team in transition. They have a new head coach, a new offensive coordinator, a new defensive coordinator and potentially a new quarterback. Buffalo most likely will not look to free agency to find another quarterback. The Bills already have two veterans on the roster, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tarvaris Jackson. Adding a drafted rookie to the group makes more sense. Expect Buffalo to use its free-agent dollars at linebacker and wide receiver. New defensive coordinator Mike Pettine is installing a 3-4 scheme in Buffalo that relies heavily on solid, tough linebacker play. The Bills were 31st in run defense last year and the linebackers were pushed around too often. Buffalo also needs a No. 2 receiver to pair with Steve Johnson. The Bills let receivers David Nelson and Donald Jones walk in free agency and lack depth at the position. Buffalo continues to negotiate with starting guard Andy Levitre, but he could get interest from several teams in free agency and create a bidding war.
Cap Status: The Dolphins have the most cap room in the AFC East. They began the offseason with more than $40 million available. However, recent signings of three in-house players -- receiver Brian Hartline, quarterback Matt Moore and defensive tackle Randy Starks -- have reduced that number.
Strategy: Miami still has plenty of room to make a splash this week. The Dolphins are the favorite to land former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Mike Wallace, who could command about $12 million per season. The speedy Wallace could be the missing piece to a Dolphins passing game ranked 26th in the NFL last season. Miami also needs to address its situation at cornerback, tight end, safety and left tackle. The Dolphins are not expected to re-sign former No. 1 overall pick Jake Long. That leaves a big hole to fill at left tackle. The Dolphins could play 2012 second-round pick Jonathan Martin on the left side if they cannot find a better option in free agency. No. 1 cornerback and free agent Sean Smith also could leave Miami, which would create another major hole. Keep in mind the Dolphins also have nine draft picks, including five in the first three rounds. Whatever holes they cannot plug in free agency will be addressed in April's draft.
Cap Status: The Patriots are in decent shape. Quarterback Tom Brady recently provided a big assist by signing a three-year, $27 million contract extension. The move reportedly freed up an additional $15 million in cap room over the next two years to keep New England in position to contend.
Strategy: The Patriots will not be the biggest players in free agency, but they have enough room to go after a few desired targets. Definitely keep an eye on New England's secondary. The Patriots need help at both cornerback and safety. They have already been linked to Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed, who has a desire to stay with a contender. Belichick has an immense respect for Reed and the way he plays the game. New England also must address its in-house free agents, such as receiver Wes Welker, right tackle Sebastian Vollmer and corner Aqib Talib. The Patriots do not get sentimental with their own players and are not afraid to let them test the market. New England runs the risk of losing all three players. But the Patriots refuse to overpay and are prepared to go to Plan B and Plan C for each scenario.
* The Patriots do not have a general manager by title, but Belichick has the final say on all personnel matters in New England. Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio shares some of the GM duties with Belichick.Cap Status: The Jets have a very tight cap. Former general manager Mike Tannenbaum significantly mismanaged the roster the past couple of seasons by overpaying veterans and poorly restructuring contracts. This is the year the Jets pay for those mistakes.
Strategy: The Jets have a lot of needs but few resources to work with. The team already cut veterans Bart Scott, Calvin Pace and Eric Smith just to get under the cap. New York is not expected to re-sign Pro Bowl safety LaRon Landry, 1,000-yard tailback Shonn Greene and starting tight end Dustin Keller because they will be too expensive. Idzik says he will field a competitive team in his first year, but that's an extremely tough task. The Jets have no choice but to look for bargain-bin options in free agency. New York's biggest needs are on offense. The Jets need help at quarterback but can afford only cheap options like David Garrard. They also need to add talented skill players at wide receiver, tight end and running back to support the quarterback. Don't expect the Jets to make much noise in free agency. New York's best option to improve this year is through the draft.
Cap Status: The Broncos are in decent position to make some additions. They do have to account for $9.7 million for the franchise tag of left tackle Ryan Clady. Denver will also get more cap room if it cuts defensive end Elvis Dumervil. He is due $12 million this season and the team is trying to pare down his contract. Linebacker D.J. Williams also is expected to be cut.
Strategy: I expect the Broncos to be fairly busy in free agency. There has been some speculation Denver could be big players in free agency and get a high-profile player such as New England receiver Wes Welker. The team reportedly has interest in trading for Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis. But Denver has a lot of wants, so it may be reluctant to spend too much in one place. Denver may look to add at defensive tackle, linebacker, cornerback, safety, the offensive line, receiver and running back. So there is a chance we'll see a lot of midlevel-type players. Among the players already connected to Denver are Pittsburgh running back Rashard Mendenhall and Colts pass-rusher Dwight Freeney, if Dumervil is cut.
Cap Status: The Chiefs have done a lot of spending already. They still have some room and will get more with the expected cut of quarterback Matt Cassel.
Strategy: No NFL team has been busier than the Chiefs thus far. The new regime found a way to keep three key free agents: receiver Dwayne Bowe, punter Dustin Colquitt and left tackle Branden Albert. But the Chiefs also kept defensive end Tyson Jackson with a much more manageable contract, traded for quarterback Alex Smith and signed cornerback Dunta Robinson. The team is also reportedly close to keeping defensive end Glenn Dorsey. So the new brass is clearly interested in keeping the core of this team while adding at key positions such as quarterback and cornerback. I expect the Chiefs to strike a couple of more times on the open market. But there is no doubt the heavy lifting has already been done.
Cap Status: The Raiders have about $8 million in cap room. More can come with the expected cut of defensive tackle Tommy Kelly. Quarterback Carson Palmer and receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey could also be cut if they don't take pay reductions in the coming days.
Strategy: The Raiders are in a tough spot. They have massive holes throughout the roster. They don't have a ton of cap room, but they also have an impatient owner in Mark Davis. He wants to see the team improve. But the Raiders have been in salary-cap jail for years. There is light at the end of the tunnel for next year. But Oakland has to be smart. McKenzie restructured the deal of safety Tyvon Branch (that McKenzie did last year) just to get some immediate relief. But there is now dead money in future years. Oakland cannot repeat its vicious cycle. But it does have to get some things done now. The good news for Oakland is that this is a deep free-agent class and not a lot of teams are going to spend much. There could be some decent bargains out there. I expect Oakland to pick up a few solid players. Cornerback is certainly a strong position that Oakland will try to improve at.
Cap Status: The Chargers should have about $17 million to spend after the expected cut of defensive tackle Antonio Garay.
Strategy: The Chargers will be interesting to watch. This is a new brass, and thus far, it's been awfully quiet. But things should change once the open market starts. Truth be told, San Diego has to get a lot of work done. It has major holes on the offensive line and at cornerback. Between those two areas, the team may need to add up to five players. But the needs don't stop there. The Chargers also can use a safety, an inside linebacker, a running back and a receiver. Telesco has a strong reputation for being a talent evaluator. We will quickly get a look at how he can add pieces to his new team.

Which F-14 is that then?
Must be 1500mm (in one dimension) I would expect? If you can fit two 70mms! Swing wing? I have only seen one 'common' F-14 around (and it comes with the swing wing), but I forget what size that was. Stock is 2x 60mm. Which I thought it was actually 1x 70mm - or 1x 64mm Maybe it is at least big enough to fit two 70mm...... Probably that one best 2x 64mm though. Oh and while on the F-14 topic.... If it IS that one I have seen (HobbyKing sells it too), is it any good??? Lots of reviews say it is a really bad kit. ??? Though I have seen some YouTube posts of it all done and flying fine..... http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...arehouse_.html |

other than the het 2w25, has anybody found an inrunner w/ a 4mm or larger shaft in the ~110 to 130 gram range? i am looking for a lighter setup for ~800 watts on 4's.
kinda done w/ the cheapo outrunners at this time. 1 thought was this; http://www.xtmodel.com/en/Products/product_60.html in the2750kv not sure if it will put up w/ 60 amps though even in burst? the description at at OSE says it has vents in both bells, not sure i see them though? any input appreciated, chuck. |

You should look for the 2850 Leopard
Leopard 2860-2730kv here: (these are the open end cans versions) <- this one is good value - if you are in the US. http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...Leopard+Motors Or: (Unfortunately RCtopshop is a bit expensive really) http://www.rctopshop.com/en/motors-e...s/leopard.html 2850s here: http://www.rctopshop.com/en/motors-e...opard.html?p=8 (I would prefer a 2860, to have leeway and future higher power options - depends on the KV you grab) Or use the CyclonePower in a CS12 instead (because it is a 29mm motor): http://rc-castle.com/shop/product_in...oducts_id=2612 |

2860's are nice but at 2oz heavier, and only 800watts to pull it around , it is a weight penalty. i have sworn off 5's for now so 800-1000w is all i can realistically see asking of the 4's. the 2850 is a bit better, but the $'s are getting up w/ the het. so are the pics just wrong w/ regard to the vents?i dont see any in any of them. thanks for the info , chuck. |

Only Offshore says they are vented ones.
All the new Leopards are vented, so even if pics show they are 'car' type that MIGHT be wrong... unless they have older ones in stock. So it is best to ask to be sure. I like the CP. Getting to HET like but at lower cost. Though you really want to push them to 1000W area (or more) to get your moneys worth! hehe I have a HobbyKing 380L-2600kv and that does 800W area on 4S. $31 But that 800W (or so) is nothing exciting in the 70mm F-16. The useful info from that is that 2600kv in a CS10 does 800W or so..... and that is probably a bit better motor than an L2855. But an L2855-2800kv only does about that area on 4S too.... suggesting to me that it can't truly do the work. Which would mean a 'good;' 2800kv should do 900W to 1000W really. (I have to check all my CS10 record when I get home to verify the Watts that come from what motor/KV). |

Hi guys , need your advise here. I read in this thread that CS10 - 70mm is good for - 2800-3000kv on 4s. I just tested it with NTM 2700KV
On my WATT meter ( WHATSUP ) it shows 63-66A on 4s batt. As this motor is rated for 50A max , it seems that 2700kv is too much for that fan On 3s it get about 45A , but I guess the thrust will be too low. I intend to use this fan/motor for my Durafly Sea Vixen. does anyone have expirience with that motor and if not what you will sugest for 4s ? |
Feb 08, 2013, 03:07 PM | |
It could very well work with 4 cells. In an EDF the motor gets better cooling than with a prop. Best way is to run it , lets say 20 sec and then check temp. extend the runs with 10-20 sec and check the temp right after. Up to~ 80 Celcius should not be a problem, but take note if the temp rises after the run.
Feb 08, 2013, 03:13 PM | |
check out Tenshock as well. I discovered them recently and have a smaller one in a 50mm fan, really good thrust.
They are a bit more pricey than HET. There are several 29mm and 28mm options, in various weights, here is one. http://www.tenshock-motors.de/Tensho...-Pole-TSCZ1520 |

Give me this combination and you will have a very happy Beta Bull on your hands:

Missionary sex
Alpha Bulls who call themselves Bulls
All my sexual fantasies include feeling a thoughtful top go crazy while I wiggle around under him. Lots of moaning. Frottage, domination, humping, and grinding are totally hot and can be an end unto themselves, when done right. And hot sex is great, but hot sex with an intense mind-fuck is the ultimate.
Alpha Bull who can dominate another Bull and make him a Beta Bull, because I"m a strong masculine guy needing a Bull to turn this muscle ass into a raging pussy.
I love to wear sexy underwear. Want me shave my muscle ass and wear panties for you? I"m into it. Want me to wear tight clothes and show off my body/ass in public? Happy to do it as long as you keep touching it so everyone knows it belongs to you.
Watching vids on xtube of black guys expertly working white pussy bottoms. There is nothing on earth better than this combination. And I love training my body for it.
I say I like BULLS. "Bull" is an attitude, not a dick size. I don"t care how big it is, so long as you have one ;)

cargo van/sprinter
I have been working for FedEx ground for fours now and would like to go OTR with a sprinter or a cargo van. Who is one of the better paying expediting companies out there? Does anybody know anything about Landstar?
Employment Opportunity
YOU decide your loads, your schedule, your home time with Landstar
Landstar Express America
As a "Business Capacity Owner" or BCO with Landstar, you control your business the way YOU want. You select the freight. You set your schedule. You decide on home time. At Landstar, owner/operators are compensated based on a fixed percentage of the revenue generated from the freight they haul. As rates increase, so does your compensation. Landstar is hiring Owner/Operators... Apply now!
Re: cargo van/sprinter
When I was looking at getting into this business I called Landstar because I had heard good things about them. At the time they were requiring so much OTR experience and they weren't taking any more vans. They apparently have limits about how many of each vehicle type they lease on. It probably couldn't hurt to call them though. It was a while back when I talked to them.
The downside, and this is what I've heard from other folks who lease on to them, is that starting out it's kind of difficult because they don't have dispatchers in the traditional sense. You work with their different agents to get loads. It's more of an independent sort of setup. That's what other folks have told me, so it would probably be best to talk to someone who drives for them to get the straight scoop.
Re: cargo van/sprinter
Personally, I would stay with FedEx Ground considering the current climate in the transportation industry.
The Landstar info in the previous post was accurate.
Even with expedite experience I found it difficult to transition over to Landstar. A team operation utilizing a van with a sealed bulkhead would have an advantage at this carrier.
Pay? Basically, they are all about the same.
Some varibles can slightly increase your bottom line:
- Type of van
- Proximity to the carrier's freight lanes
- Willingness to stay on the road for extended periods of time
- Fuel saving techniques
- Reduced maintenance expenses
- Hazmat premiums

The actor stars in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time alongside Brits Gemma Arterton and Sir Ben Kingsley, and he spent three months working at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England.
Gyllenhaal used the time to work on his British accent with top dialect coach Barbara Berkery, who trained Gwyneth Paltrow for Sliding Doors and Renee Zellweger for Bridget Jones's Diary.
The actor admits he has long feared tackling a British accent, and has even turned down several film roles in order to avoid changing his voice.
He tells Britain's The Times, "I had been intimidated by other roles where I would have had to do a British accent. Some I've stayed away from, to be honest - out of respect. I know that culturally it differentiates people in so many ways. As an American, you really can't tell.
"I worked with Barbara Berkery (for Prince of Persia). I listened to tapes. I never broke the accent, even when I was on set, because I knew I would get that cringe factor from the Brits - even though I know the British can be very polite - overly polite, in my opinion. But I really love that, too."
