Wow...these jokes are really uh...corny. I think they only won because they're drawn well. :/
Really they were shooting themselves in the foot from the beginning with the arbitrary restrictions. Having a (sort-of) fixed template and forcing them to incorporate buffs, an aspect of the game that has no overt comedic value was not a good idea. From start to finish, this contest seemed like a good idea with poor execution. Congrats to all the artists who tried though.

Im having a hard time incorporating new ideas into the new map so I wanted to make a thread to garner a sort of mass hive mind perspective but in a form that will be fun. I will provide a team comp (multiple actually), and you will attempt to create a counter-comp. Create your own comps, judge others, or challenge, it is up to you. The rules are as follows: 1) Respect above all else, disrespect someone or their opinion (this is not to say do not critique) and it merits a downvote 2) Be sensible, someone elses well thought out team comp will have a weakness. The idea is to feel like your team at least matches your opponents in strength (in all its aspects) obvious trolls merit downvote, unless you troll with class. 3) You may challenge anyone's team composition you want. 4) Quote your enemies composition in your post 5) Vote on others compositions (I encourage you to be judicial in your upvotes, and sparse in your downvotes) Mine are listed as, bot, Jungle, & top respectively (although some tops and jungles are interchangable) Lets get it started: Ryze, Shyvana, Kennen (Strong ulti play, good synergy. Ryze may build Lichbane, Kennen may hybridize) Anivia, Sejuani, Kha'Xiz (Ic'olate & Conqeur, High risk high reward) Nidalee, Mundo, Darius (Thunderdome) Viktor, Udyr, Fiora (Early/Mid game Viktor comp) Viktor, Trynd, Singed (Stronker late game Vik comp) Morgana, Olaf, Wukong (Counter initiate team) Jax, Shaco, Teemo (Summoner response to ward removal, Super carry tank teemo if necessary) Heimer, Nocturne, Blitz (Push and control jungle) Karthus, Skarner, Wukong (Would this create a lose lose scenario, with a great rate of success?)
Shen, noct, twisted fate. Never ever be alone.

Apparently the kids were in a survival camp program. Two are in critical condition, three are in serious condition, and two have minor injuries.
While I respect the program, and what it does for the kids, they should have had an armed instructor in the front to limit the damage in a situation like this. I hope the kids survive.
Hopefully it doesn't deter any of the survivors from enjoying the outdoors as well.

Samuel Witwer
This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2010) |
Samuel Witwer | |
Witwer in 2013.
Born | Samuel Stewart Witwer October 20, 1977 Glenview, Illinois, U.S. |
Occupation | Actor/Musician |
Years active | 2001 – present |
Samuel Stewart "Sam" Witwer (born October 20, 1977) is an American actor and musician. He has portrayed Lt. Crashdown in Battlestar Galactica, Davis Bloome in Smallville, and vampire Aidan Waite of the US/Canadian remake of BBC's supernatural drama series Being Human on Syfy in the US and Space in Canada. He also voiced main protagonist Galen Marek/Starkiller in the successful multimedia project Star Wars: The Force Unleashed as well as The Son & Darth Maul for Cartoon Network's Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Early life[edit]
Witwer grew up in Glenview, Illinois, a small suburb outside of Chicago. He attended Glenbrook South High School, during which time he was involved in drama and theater classes, as well as being the lead singer of a high school band called "Love Plumber". He attended the Juilliard School for a time before moving to Los Angeles.
Witwer claims that his first on-screen credit was that of a Chicago Bulls commercial. He soon found himself in speaking roles on hit television series, such as ER.
Witwer's first major recurring role came in the form of portraying Lt. Crashdown on Battlestar Galactica, although he has credited much of his current success to his role as Neil Perry on the Showtime series Dexter. Witwer also appeared as Private Wayne Jessup in the movie The Mist.
From 2008 to 2009, Witwer was cast Season 8 of Smallville as Davis Bloome, a charming paramedic who struggles with a darkness within as he is the human camouflage of Doomsday, a character in the comics best known for being the only villain to have killed Superman. While Witwer played Davis, Doomsday was played by stuntman Dario Delacio. Although uncredited, Witwer also played the full-physical form of the show's version of Zod at the end of the Season 8 finale (while the role would later be played in Season 9 by British actor Callum Blue). Witwer's performance in Smallville was incredibly well-received, and he has stated that his experience on the show had opened more opportunities for him in the future of acting.
Witwer made a cameo appearance in The Walking Dead as a dead (zombie) soldier in a tank in the Season 1 episode "Days Gone Bye" which reunited him with director Frank Darabont from The Mist.
Witwer starred in the North American remake of Being Human. He played the role of vampire Aidan Waite.[1]
He is set to play Ocean Master in an upcoming Aquaman film for the DC Universe Animated Original Movies series, replacing fellow Star Wars actor Steven Blum from Justice League: War.
Roleplaying Games[edit]
Sam is an avid player of both electronic games and pen-and-paper roleplaying games. This is a hobby that he has actively pursued for years. He has been a frequent guest on the Podcast Order 66 and has expressed a love for all iterations of Star Wars roleplaying games Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game (by West End Games) to Star Wars Roleplaying Game (by Wizards of the Coast) and to the current series of cross-compatible Star Wars roleplaying games by Fantasy Flight Games.[2]
Sam appeared in episode 19 of Geek and Sundry's Tabletop playing the Dragon Age roleplaying game.[3]
Star Wars career[edit]
A lifelong Star Wars fan, Witwer provided both his voice and likeness for lead character Galen Marek/Starkiller (Darth Vader's secret apprentice) in the 2008 video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and 2010 sequel Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. He has since received much praise for his contribution to the role. He has also voiced Darth Sidious (Emperor Palpatine) in both games.
For Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Witwer had also vocally performed the Son in a three episode story arc (known as the Mortis trilogy) in Season 3 as well as the iconic Sith Lord Darth Maul in the Season 4 finale episodes and in four episodes of Season 5. He also lent his voice for Darth Maul in other projects such as the Star Wars: Episode I Brisk commercial as well as the Cartoon Network special Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out.
Sam attended The Clone Wars Season 5 Red Carpet Premier in Orlando Florida on August 24, 2012 during Celebration VI along with some of his co-stars Matt Lanter, James Arnold Taylor, Dee Bradley Baker, Tom Kane, Daniel Logan, Stephen Stanton and Ashley Eckstein as well as Supervising Director Dave Filoni. During Celebration VI, he also had his very own panel called Sam Witwer "The Maul Within" on August 26, 2012. In 2013 he attended for the very first time the annual event, Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida for a three-day weekend and fans praised him for his roles in The Force Unleashed games and on The Clone Wars. During the live show "Behind the Force", Sam showed his acting skills by saying one or two lines of the characters that he's played in the Star Wars universe.
Witwer states that his first love is music and he is consequently the lead singer of his own band: "The Crashtones". They released their first CD, entitled "Colorful of the Stereo" in 2006. Witwer has since assembled a live line-up consisting of professional musicians and others, including Glenn Howerton of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia with whom he plays gigs whenever time allows it. Witwer gives regular interviews and is a recurring guest on d20 Radio's Order 66 podcast and Rebel Force Radio. He currently resides in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.

Feeling the burn
Hope you had a very nice weekend. Sorry I'm late. Computers were down here. If you missed the last letter and the bartender update, they're here.
Let's begin.
Q: Hi Meredith (and everyone else ;-),
I have an interesting situation. For a bit of background, I'm 28 and have been dating pretty steadily since I was 17, including one 7.5 year relationship that ended about a year and a half ago. Since then, I've seen a few different guys. I don't really have a hard time finding guys to date, but I don't believe in leading guys on when I don't see it going anywhere. I guess you could say I like the 'spark.'
The first week of the football season, I threw a party. All of my friends, both girls and guys, are big fans. Usually when I throw parties, everyone is invited. One of my male friends brought his boss. When they walked through the door, it was like someone kicked me in the chest. I haven't been that instantaneously attracted to someone ever. I literally made an excuse to walk away from the front door because I needed a moment to catch my breath. We spent the day pretending not to look at each other while not being able to take our eyes off one another. At about 6, he got a phone call. It became clear very quickly that he was expected somewhere else, and not single as I had hoped. (This is the point where I'm definitely not proud of my behavior.) He had taken the phone call in the bathroom, and I waited in the hallway for him to come out. We went into my bedroom, ostensibly so he could meet my dog. I looked at him and asked him what his situation was, and he said it was complicated, but asked for my phone number. We did kiss a couple of times (there was drinking, but it's really no excuse).
He left shortly thereafter, and I got the story from his friend. He apparently had been in a 7 year relationship, left it to be with someone else, and then realized that was not what he wanted and moved back in with his old girlfriend. They are still together, but both of them realize that they're not moving forward or getting married. And he hates her family.
He texted me 15 minutes after he left, and we texted each other for a week straight (not exactly the cleanest texts in the world either). The next weekend, he came on a scavenger hunt with my friends and me. The more time I spent with him, the more I felt the connection not just physically but emotionally. We skipped out on the end of the scavenger hunt and ended up back at my place. I don't usually move so quickly, but I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best sex I've ever had. We had both fallen in deeply, very quickly. We actually had a conversation about how we didn't believe in soul mates, but we thought that we had found ours. Fast forward two months, and I hadn't seen him nearly as much as I would have liked (but I knew he still wanted me). He told me that he was searching for apartments, but after a trip home to his family he seemed to be reconsidering his current relationship. I told him that I would support whatever he felt he needed to do, but I found myself completely unable to not want to be with him.
A month ago, I told him that I was going to disappear until he had his other situation figured out. After all, it had only been two months and if he came back, fabulous. If not, then I'm sure there's someone better out there for me. There's been no contact since – he didn't even respond to that message. But I seem unable to let him go. I keep fighting with myself – do I go see him? Do I tell him I still want him? Or do I just chalk it up to a mishandled situation, and learn from it?
– Strangely Still Heartbroken, Brookline
A: SSH, there are certain people who give off a strange magnetic vibe. They're exciting. They're electric. They buzz.
Some of these electric people use their powers for good. Some don't. Some don't know what to do with their powers and wind up hurting people along the way. I've found that many of these electric people work in the entertainment industry. It seems to be a good fit. They don't mind attention.
You met an electric, magnetic, buzzing person. Sadly, I'm not so sure he's one of the best ones. He sounds confused and cowardly. To say he "mishandled" things … well, that's being very nice.
But know this: The heartbreak you've described isn't really heartbreak. It's disappointment amplified by rejection. It's the letdown that comes after you've been dropped by an electric person. Start defining it correctly and you'll probably be able to get over it faster.
Keep reminding yourself that he was all buzz, no bite. I think that's the lesson here – sparks aren't enough on their own. Sometimes they're just false advertising.
You sound pretty electric, yourself. You're social and independent. You're funny and passionate. Now you know that you should always use those powers wisely.
Readers? Is it her own fault that she got burned? Can these electric people ever sustain their spark? How can she get over this? Share here.
– Meredith

Jim Cramer's Mad Dash: AA AAL
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Various analyst actions Monday were the focus of TheStreet's Jim Cramer, co-manager of the Action Alerts PLUS portfolio, on CNBC's "Cramer's Mad Dash" segment.
He noted that Deutsche Bank upgraded Alcoa (AA - Get Report) to hold from sell a day before the company is scheduled to report earnings. While this upgrade may seem meaningless, Cramer pointed out the same analyst downgraded the stock near its lows in late summer, before it went on a very long rally to the upside. The analyst's timing has been less than perfect.
He suggested the analyst should have waited for the company to report earnings before upgrading. Cramer expects the earnings results to be good but not so good that investors should buy the stock ahead of the report.
Turning to American Airlines Group (AAL - Get Report), Goldman Sachs initiated the stock as a buy. Although many analysts have not backed the airline stocks after the huge rally, Cramer argued the airlines are different than momentum stocks, which are too overvalued. Some analysts, including those at Goldman Sachs, are finally giving in.
He concluded that AAL isn't done going higher, but investors should only "watch" the two stocks for the time being. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwellCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

(CNN) — Netflix has inked a high-profile deal with Walt Disney Studios, but you won't see new releases in your streaming queue for another four years.
Starting with Disney's 2016 feature films, Netflix customers will be able to stream a catalog of titles from Disney and four of its subsidiaries: Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Studios and Disneynature.
Netflix will become "the exclusive U.S. subscription television service" for Disney's new releases. That means pay-cable network Starz will no longer carry those films, Netflix spokesman Jonathan Friedland confirmed.
That makes Tuesday's deal a nice bit of revenge for Netflix, whose contract with Starz expired in February after deal-renewal negotiations fell apart. Starz currently licenses many Disney films, in addition to titles from several other studios.
Netflix's 2016 exclusivity will end Starz's licensing deal with Disney, and it will also keep other streaming services like Amazon Prime from signing their own Disney contracts.
Friedland, the company spokesman, kept mum on whether the deal will include future "Star Wars" titles from Lucasfilm, which Disney agreed in October to buy for $4 billion. Disney is targeting a 2015 release of "Star Wars" Episode 7.
"Nothing to say until the deal is approved," Friedland wrote in an email, referring to Disney's still-pending Lucasfilm buy.
The Netflix deal includes some Disney straight-to-video new releases, which will appear on Netflix starting in 2013. In a separate contract, Netflix also signed a "multi-year" deal to stream classic Disney movies including "Dumbo," "Pocahontas" and "Alice in Wonderland." Those movies will be available for streaming starting Tuesday.
Shares of Netflix jumped 14% Tuesday on news of the Disney deal.
But Rich Tullo, analyst at Albert Fried, slammed the deal as one that "takes the craft of PR to a high level."
He criticized Netflix's eagerness to sign a deal under which the best content is not available until 2016. He also noted that Disney's classic movies are available on its own channels, Apple's iTunes, Amazon Prime, and even "the discount rack at Walmart. "
Though the big films won't be available until 2016, the Disney deal is still the best news Netflix has received in a while. In October, notorious corporate raider Carl Icahn bought a nearly 10% stake in Netflix and said the company is a prime takeover target for tech giants.
A spooked Netflix hastily adopted a "stockholder rights plan" designed to prevent activist shareholders from launching a hostile takeover, otherwise known as a "poison pill."

Nuggets win third of four since trading away Carmelo Anthony
DENVER -- Nuggets coach George Karl trotted out different lineups until something finally clicked.
That will be his plan from here on.
With a new cast of characters and the postseason drawing near, Karl doesn't have time to do anything but adjust on the fly.
The reserve tandem of J.R. Smith and Raymond Felton worked on Monday night, helping Denver rally for a 100-90 victory over the Atlanta Hawks and the Nuggets' third win in four games since the deal that sent Carmelo Anthony to New York.
Smith had 19 points and Felton added 15 as the Nuggets used an 8-0 surge early in the fourth quarter to pull away from the road-weary Hawks.
The new identity of the Nuggets has become their ability to interchange parts at any time.
Danilo Gallinari missed the game with a broken left big toe -- which could sideline him up to 10 days -- and Smith stepped up. Ty Lawson was fatigued by the flu midway through the game and Felton filled in.
"When I feel I have a team that can win the game, they're probably going to stay on the court," Karl said. "As the game goes down to the end, there's a lot of guys I can finish with. They're going to have to live with my decision. Hopefully, be enthusiastic about it."
Smith put the finishing touches on the win as he tipped in an alley-oop pass from Felton with 1:34 remaining to give the Nuggets a 10-point lead.
But that play may have come at a cost -- Smith was hobbling around after the game, his left knee aching.
"Not used to jumping off my left leg as much. Really strained it a little," he said.
Smith also took a hard fall in the second quarter after being knocked off balance by Damien Wilkins on a drive to the hoop. Smith limped around for a few minutes, favoring his left hip, yet didn't leave the floor.
Especially not now, with Karl trusting him more.
"Feels great to be out there," Smith said. "I can't complain. We're winning so that's all that matters."
Smith wasn't the only one banged up on the second-quarter play as Josh Smith hurt his right knee in the aftermath of the collision. He did not return for the second half.
Following the game, the Hawks announced that Josh Smith is day-to-day with a sprained right MCL but will not have an MRI on Tuesday.
"It's kind of frustrating but I can't control injuries," said Josh Smith, who scored 10 points in more than 13 minutes.
Joe Johnson finished with 22 points and Al Horford added 21 points and 16 rebounds for the Hawks, who wrapped up a seven-game road swing with a 3-4 mark.
"It's acceptable," Hawks coach Larry Drew said of the trip. "It could have been a lot worse. That's what I told the guys. We're still in a position where we can control our own destiny."
Although the Hawks played the night before, they stayed with the Nuggets until they ran out of steam in the fourth quarter. The Nuggets used a 16-7 run to seal the win.
The Hawks were without guard Kirk Hinrich, who was scratched just before tipoff with a sore right calf.
With Gallinari out for at least a week, Karl will have to remain creative with his lineups, which he did at times Monday by going with four guards.
All part of learning on the run.
"A lot of lineups can work," Felton said. "We've got a deep team. It will take [Karl] a while, but I know coach is a great coach. ... He'll figure it out."
The news of Gallinari's injury was a setback to the Nuggets, who figured to have the 22-year-old forward back Wednesday against Charlotte.
Gallinari was acquired by the Nuggets in the blockbuster deal that sent Chauncey Billups and Anthony to the Knicks. He had two points in his debut with Denver last Thursday in a win over Boston, before erupting for 30 at Portland on Friday, one shy of tying his career high.
Asked after morning practice how much pressure it was to replace a player such as Anthony, Gallinari shrugged and responded: "Melo is a superstar. I'm not a superstar. I'm a normal player that can help the team win. That's it."
Hinrich has played in two games for Atlanta since the trade with Washington last week. He had eight points in more than 29 minutes during a win at Portland on Sunday night.
With a few days between games, Gallinari took a tour of the Mile High City -- sore toe and all. He explored different parts of town for potential houses and dined at some local Italian restaurants.
And while he was occasionally recognized, it was nothing compared to a stroll along Times Square.
"The pace is completely different from New York," Gallinari said. "I like it."
Game notes
The Hawks were the only team the Nuggets had yet to face this season. The two meet again March 16 in Atlanta. ... Nuggets F Kenyon Martin finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds, while F Wilson Chandler added 15. ... The Nuggets had a season-low six turnovers.

Let's say you have a friend. A casual one, at best. Let's say your friend's name is Fran. Wave hi to Fran. Did you wave?
Let's also say it's a sunny Saturday afternoon, you have no plans for the evening, and you've just finished watching all the new "Arrested Development" episodes on Netflix—in one sitting, no less—when you get a text from your friend Fran:
"Beer pong @8. My place. Bring beer."
Now, we already know you're not great friends with Fran, but you decide to go to Fran's place down the street anyway since you need to get out of your apartment and have nothing better to do tonight, especially on the cheap. You text back:
"Fa sheez. Natty light okay?"
She doesn't text you back until 8, when you're in line at 7-Eleven:
"Can you get balls and cups, too?"

Welcome to the Weekly Fairy Tail report! Last week, Oracion Seis makes their debut after 7 years. Like the others, they look much better pre time skip.
Just when it looks Fairy Tail is about to have a climactic fight with Byro over the Infinity Clock, Oracion Seis returns, with upgraded powers and a desire to make the ominous clock their own!
Via Crunchyroll
- Despite that Fairy Tail got their butts kicked by the Oracion Seis twice upon their first meetings, the action is good. Angel had some cool magic, and I'm curious to see how she got those "angel" magic. I thought she would have different Gate Keys. Cobra improved as he counters his weakness. Erigor is not a pushover anymore. Midnight seems more feminine. Not to offend female fans.
- Lucy and Michelle got some tender moments.
- Some people hate Ichiya, but I find this interesting that Ichiya has a serious, excellent scene with Lucy. It didn't have a lot of friendship cliche. It had the right balance unlike Natsu's speech to Byro in the last episode.
- This episode is not that bad. It didn't lag much. It can be hit or miss for fans who already hate this filler. I know it's a long arc, but I believe Fairy Tail will follow the manga faithfully. I just wish Hiro Mashima improves his story telling skills to give series a beautiful ending. Right now, Fairy Tail has surpassed Rave Master in anime and manga length.
- Late Epiphany: Fans already know that collecting the pieces is bad news. Lucy is a bit slow.
Points of Interest
- In addition to Ichiya's serious scene, Dan complements him by acting goofy as he tries to hit on Angel.
- Michelle is hiding something. I suspect something amiss during Infinity Clock pieces hunt.
Overall, this episode is much better than the beginning episodes of this filler arc. I hope Lamia Scale and Fairy Tail team up to take down Oracion Seis. Maybe Jellal would appear. Who knows?
Please enjoy the images. For more images, please check Ep. 140's image gallery.

5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
Jiayuan.com International
Another under-$10 stock in the personal services complex that's setting up to trend higher is Jiayuan.com International (DATE - Get Report), an online dating platform in China. This stock is off to a weak start in 2012, with shares off by around 17%.
If you take a look at the chart for Jiayuan.com International, you'll see that this stock has been downtrending hard for most of the year, with shares dropping from close to $8 a share to a recent low of $3.60 a share. During that sharp move lower, shares of Jiayuan.com International have been making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, the stock has now rebounded off that $3.60 low and started to trend higher to sideways. That move has pushed DATE within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade.
>>5 Stocks to Buy and Hold for True Value
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in DATE if it can manage to trigger a breakout trade above some near-term overhead resistance at $5.02 a share with high-volume. Look for volume on a sustained move or close above $5.02 that registers near or above its three-month average action of 70,694 shares. If we get that action soon, then DATE will have little resistance until $5.45 to $6.00 a share. Any high-volume move over $6 could mean DATE is ready to fill a previous gap-down that takes this stock back towards $7.25 to $7.50 a share. If you're in the bull camp on DATE, then one could anticipate the breakout and look to buy this stock off weakness and simply use a stop that's a few percentage points below its 50-day moving average of $4.77 a share. You could even go all the way down to $4.55 a share, since that's where the stock has found big-time buying interest during the past month. One could also just get long off strength once DATE takes out $5.02 with high-volume. I would still use a stop around the 50-day if you buy off strength.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Another 10 tackles and a sack. If we do not get the chance to draft Mount Cody, this guy is second on my ist. SEC championship game, Alabama vs. Florida. A ton of uber talented Patriot type players on display. May the best team win. NT Mount Cody Alabama DE Dunlap Florida DE Washington Alabama ILB MCClain Alabama ILB Spikes Florida SS Woodall Alabama CB Haden Florida CB/KR Areanas Alabama QB Tebow Florida TE Hernandez Florida OG Johnson Alabama OT Davis Alabama
Not to be facetious, but how would you see Mt. Cody helping New England, especially if, as it appears, they plan to keep Wilfork? In particular, let's assume, for the sake of argument, Cody is available at the Pats' first-rounder. What should they do with their seconds if they take him?
Dont get me wrong, i love mcClain and think hes going to be an excellent ILB in the NFL. But we already have a great ILB in mayo and i dont see this fixing our most glaring need, a solid pass rush from the DE/OLB position. We need that McGinest type player who can create pressure as well as provide decent pass coverage. Hopefully we resign Wilfork so we dont have to worry about possibly drafting Cody
McClain is high on my list for our 1st round pick, along with Derrick Morgan from Georgia Tech right now. Unfortunately, I doubt either guy will be available when we pick. McClain and Mayo would be an ILB corps for the ages. But I think I'd rather see us get 2 stud pass rushers - 2 of Morgan, Greg Hardy, Everson Griffen and Carlos Dunlap, or one of those guys and one of Sergio Kindle, Jerry Hughes, Jeremy Beal or Eric Norwood. While McClain is my favorite SILB prospect, I do think Eric Norwood (who probably slips to the 2nd round) could play SILB and also be used effectively on the pass rush. He is a better rusher than McClain.
I have been and I am continuing to operating under the assumption that Wilfork will be playing in Miami as a Dolphin next season. And we will get a 2011 third round comp pick. I also believe that Cody projects to be a much better 3-4 NT than Wilfork. I have never seen any 3-4 NT control the "A" gaps like Cody. I have never seen a college NT handle double teams with ease, as I have Cody. The beauty in drafting him is that he knows our system already. he knows all 91 different blocking combinations that opponents can hit a NT with. He has spent the last two years learning our line calls. (The terminology is almost the same.)
And you wouldn't franchise him, because? EDIT: And a player like that will last to our picking range, because?
There is NO doubt in my mind that a pass rushing demon is the most important need on our team. Unfortunately I do not think BB shares our opinion. PS: I think Norwood is the SEC's leading sacker thus far this season.
I would sh*t the bed if we let Wilfork go for nothing but a compensation pick. I'd rather send him to Oakland (why not, crazy Al is still there), Tampa (they badly need an interior lineman), Seattle (same as Tampa), Texans (same as Tampa), San Francisco (same as Tampa), St. Louis (same as Tampa), Carolina (same as Tampa), and Titans (same as Tampa and would give up alot to get him) before I see Wilfork in Miami. Realistically, we have strong chances with Seattle, Houston, San Francisco, and Tennessee. Why? It's because these are all teams that are one really good player away from being in elite territory. All other teams either lack the cash, have other glaring needs, or have such a high pick that they could draft Mt. Cody instead. I know bunch of people just coughed and gagged when I said Tennessee and Houston, but those are the two teams that would pay the most. They would do so because they are in our conference; it would spite the Colts; their coaches are on the hot seat, (Fisher has some explaining to do after the Manning shirt thing and Vince Young's recent play); and they have draft picks that are not high enough to draft one of the top tier interior defensive line men, but high enough to grab a spectacular player like McClain. Since we have so many second round picks, we could find a suitable replacement to Vince if Brace doesn't pan out. Also, this move could get us one of those premiere pass rushers that we've been waiting to see for years.
I think it plays out as follows: 1.) Vince is from Miami. 2.) Miami needs a NT desperately. 3.) Vince knows Parcells will open the vault for him. 4.) Only two players have ever mugged BB for an "A" contract. Brady and Seymour. Both were or projected to be multiple pro bowl type players when their contract came up. Vince is a good player, don't get me wrong, and I would love to have him locked up long term, but Vince still plays on skates a bit. A solid player but not quite an elite player. (Although this year he is playing his best ever.) Bottom Line: I think Vince stays only if BB is willing to bleed out the wallet to keep him. Based on BB's history, I don;t see that happening.
I still don't see how that prevents them from tagging him. Miami or another team might pay the price for an elite NT, two won's is steep so this isn't probable but it is plausible. Second maybe they trade his rights for a first and third like Allen out of the division and hopefully out of the conference. I agree he may not be signed but I cannot see them letting him walk for only a 3rd the season after.
If the Phins are stupid enough to pay 2 first round draft picks for Vince Wilfork, then go right ahead. I love Big Vince, but that is an offer that is pretty hard to pass up. I think that Vince can be replaced and he does have a tendency to play on skates. Also, if they do that, we could easily grab McClain with that pick and another stud defensive player next year.
Another guy to watch in this game is Florida's punter Chas Henry. I don't think that he has had a single punt returned yet the year. He has like a 50 yard average and his punts are so high, a fair cacth is almost mandatory. He is a finalist for the Ray Guy award. Chas Henry, , NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com He is only a Jr. so I doubt that he comes out this year, but he is already the highest rated punter and would most likely not make it out of the 3rd round if he came out.
And you see BB using a third on a punter, when he's got Hanson? [Hanson is exasperating. He makes enough mistakes that you want to cut him in a literal sense, but then does just enough good things (see this Sunday) that even when rookies with stronger legs come around, BB decides to stay with Hanson.] BTW, according to the link, he finally had one returned this week, for all of 6 yards.
This would make more sense if Miami weren't in the division. First off, apparently no one in the league agrees with you: according to NFL.com, essentially no one believes that the Pats are going to let Wilfork simply walk (they'll either extend him or tag-and-trade him). And do you really think BB's just going to let Wilfork traipse down to another team in the division for nothing, and have no control over where he goes?
He used a 4th on the Ghost and I'm pretty sure he doesn't regret that one. Actually what I was thinking is that most teams usually start thinking kicker/punter when rd 4 comnes around, and being a the Pats will most likely pick last in rd 4, they would have to use their 3rd rounder (of which they do not have in the upcoming draft) on a top notch punter. Georgia also has an accently punter, he is Kevin Butler's son Drew, he is only a Sophmore. Either one of them, or my grandmother would be better than Hanson.
Scouts Inc. had some nice praise for McClain today: "As for McClain, he is playing better than maybe any defensive player in the country right now. He is an absolute difference maker who has come full circle in terms of instincts, awareness and leadership. McClain plays like a man among boys at times, and he showed up in the most crucial moments in the Iron Bowl against Auburn." Scouts Inc.: Florida Gators DE Carlos Dunlap and Alabama Crimson Tide ILB Rolando McClain are locking up high draft grades - ESPN BTW, Carlos Dunlap (also praised by Scouts Inc.) was charged with DUI last night. That will have to be addressed. But someone will jump at him. Right now I have McClain going #10 (to SF) and Dunlap #16 (to the Jets) in my first attempt at a mock.
Dunlap has been suspended "indefinitely" by Meyer; he is definitely out for the SEC championship game.
Ouch. That could cost them the national championship, and could cause Dunlap to slide a lot - to where the Pats pick, or into the 2nd round, since there are also legitimate consistency and motivation efforts. Dunlap is listed at 290#, but he doesn't look it and certainly doesn't play like a 3-4 DE. He does have amazing mobility for a guy his size. Anyone think he could play 4-3 DE/elephant for us?
What's not to say the Pats draft Cody and work out of the 3-4 with Wilfork at DE like he has been a bit this year and Warren as the other DE, should be plenty of run stopping in the line alone, as well as significant push and 2 players who warrant a double team every down.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Katz blinked, but review too narrow to be useful
Under increasing pressure from the public, the media and members of city council, Mayor Sam Katz this week finally ordered a review of a controversial proposal that saw the city swap two old fire halls and a piece of prime undeveloped land for a lot on Taylor Avenue, on which a new fire hall was built, all without proper council approval or oversight.
Adding to the concern is the fact the deal involved Shindico Realty, a developer and broker whose owner, Sandy Shindleman, is well-known to the mayor. Shindico has, in recent years, won a large share of city real estate business.
Related Items
Concerned about allegations of abuse of process, Katz asked the city's chief financial officer, Mike Ruta, and chief administrative officer, Phil Sheegl, to scrutinize the deal to ensure it's correct and fair.
For those of you following this tale, the city essentially completed the swap with Shindico without getting council approval. In fact, the proposal was consummated not by a member of the property branch, but by fire-paramedic Chief Reid Douglas, an odd aspect to this story to be sure.
There are lingering questions about whether the city gave away in this proposed deal more than it is getting. Although the value of two older fire halls is very much up for debate, the inclusion of a plot of land on east Mulvey Avenue has really raised some eyebrows. As brown field, it hardly rates a second look. As empty land close to the city's new rapid-transit line, it is expected to increase in value many times as it takes shape as part of what is expected to be a lucrative mixed-use development.
The fact Katz blinked on this controversy is newsworthy. In general, when people start asking questions about why the city is, once again, doing business with Shindico or whether proper process was employed in awarding the business to Shindico in the first place, he doesn't blink. He has rarely given this much credence to an allegation against Shindico and Shindelman. Of course, his solution to this problem was less than optimum.
Sheegl had already declared he was "100 per cent comfortable procedure was followed." Sheegl's comments are factually incorrect; numerous procedures and rules were violated in the consummation of this deal. Shindico listed for lease one of the fire halls well before council had a chance to declare it surplus, paving the way for it to be sold. For the CAO to ignore the simple facts is worrisome and makes him the wrong guy to review the deal.
CFO Ruta finds himself in a similar boat. Ruta was the official who pointed out the deal to build several new fire halls -- worth $15 million -- was broken down into several smaller deals, none of which required council approval. There has been no satisfactory explanation about why that decision was made and on whose authority. All we know is who benefited from the decision, and that is driving the demands for more transparency.
Ignoring the obvious problem, Katz has continued to pour gasoline on the fire by dismissing the concerns about the deal, while at the same time insisting a review should be done. On Friday, Katz labelled criticism of the deal as "unadulterated nonsense." Why hold a review if you've already decided it won't find anything?
There are voices at city hall calling for a more formal audit of the proposed land swap. Katz has turned down those demands, claiming it would be premature given the fact the transaction has not officially been completed. This is a poor excuse and suggests the mayor does not have the power to stop the deal until a more detailed review can be done. It also suggests Katz could not have asked a contractor outside of city hall to do the review. He can actually do both.
It could be unfair to look at the amount of business the city conducts with Shindico and that company's relationship with the mayor, and assume there's something wrong. However, neither Katz, nor Sheegl, nor Ruta has demonstrated in a meaningful way whether it's in the interests of taxpayers to deal so much with one developer.
Former city councillor Peter Kaufmann, now a developer and broker, suggested there is something wrong with a system that relies so heavily on one broker to do all of its real estate and development work. Kaufmann claims there are other firms that could serve the city as well. His comments underline the need for an objective review. We need to know whether the system allows taxpayers to realize the full value of city-owned land.
Katz should know asking Ruta and Sheegl to look at the proposal is likely to ratchet up the concern and innuendo that's becoming the focus of this narrative.
The only way to put these concerns to bed is a clear and clean review of these transactions and the broader concerns about the way the city handles real estate matters, conducted without fear or favour. Katz has so far failed to provide the citizens of Winnipeg with that review.

The catamaran and snorkeling was amazing. We saw a couple sea turtles and our guide made sure we received a great tour of the reef. We were lucky that the weather was terrific, but also lucky that we had such great guides for our trip. We will definitely use "Fat Cat" tours next time we want to snorkel. Thanks for the great time!!

Capital One's Weak Results Set Up Buying Opportunity
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Capital One
(COF - Get Report) disappointed with a relatively weak fourth-quarter earnings report, sending the shares down over 5% on Friday, but the company is focused on a great business -- credit cards -- and its stock trades at a low multiple to peers, setting up what could be a nice entry point for investors.
The company is based in McLean, Va., and tends to be lumped in with regional banks, as it has an extensive east-coast branch network. However, Capital One is a major credit card lender that has a much stronger net interest margin than the nation's large regional banks. The company's net interest margin -- the difference between the average yield on loans and investments and the average cost for deposits and borrowings -- was 6.73% during the fourth quarter, while all the major regional banks have margins well below 4%.
Capital One's shares dropped over 5% on Friday to $72.48. Following Thursday's market close, the company reported fourth-quarter earnings available to common shareholders of $859 million, or $1.45 a share, down from $1.099 billion, or $1.86 a share, the previous quarter, but up from $825 million, or $1.41 a share, a year earlier. The fourth-quarter earnings came in considerably lower than the consensus estimate of $1.57 a share among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
A major factor in the sequential earnings decline was an increase in marketing expenses to $427 million in the fourth quarter from $299 million the previous quarter and $393 million a year earlier.
Investors were not placated by Capital One's return to loan growth. Average domestic credit card loans rose 1% during the quarter, to $70.368 billion, although they were down 13% from a year earlier, as the company wound down the riskier part of the U.S. credit card portfolio it purchased during 2012 from HSBC
(HSBC), while in September completing the sale of its $6 billion portfolio of Best Buy
(BBY) credit card accounts to Citigroup
The company did post solid growth in average commercial loans, rising 4% sequentially and 15% year-over-year to $43.359 billion in the fourth quarter.
Capital One plans to continue keeping its marketing efforts, and expenses, at an elevated level. CFO Steve Crawford during the company's earnings conference call on Thursday said the company's outlook for 2014 was for pre-provision net revenue re-provision net revenue -- that is, revenue less expenses but excluding additions to loan loss reserves -- to total about $9.8 billion, "with a reasonable margin for error," declining from about $10 billion during 2014.
"After adjusting 2013 revenues for the loss of Best Buy, which contributed a little over $630 million in revenues, this year we expect very modest revenue growth in 2014," Crawford added.
So investors may be underwhelmed by the short-term earnings outlook for the company. But what about for the long haul?
Capital One's shares trade for 9.9 times the consensus 2015 EPS estimate of $7.32. Among the 24 component stocks of the KBW Bank Indez
(I:BKX), only Bank of America
(BAC - Get Report) and JPMorgan Chase
(JPM) trade at lower forward P/E multiples, and Bank of America is a much weaker earnings performer, while JPMorgan's shares continue to be held back by regulatory and headline risk.
Capital One's 2013 return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE) was 14.98% during 2013, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight. Bank of America's ROTCE during 2013 was 7.94%, while JPMorgan's ROTCE -- lowered because of the company's third-quarter net loss, as it set aside provisions to help cover its $17.5 billion in fourth-quarter mortgage-backed securities settlements -- was 11.92%.
"We remain positive on COF as the company works toward a full peer bank multiple, which we believe is in the 12.0x-13.0x range," wrote UBS analyst Matthew Howlett in a note to clients on Monday.
That's the key for investors. Following Capital One's major acquisitions during 2012, with higher-than-expected credit expenses from the HSBC card portfolio, the shares have dragged peers. But with greater earnings potential, based on the higher margin credit card business that performed so well when compared to most other loan types in the wake of the real estate meltdown of 2008, as well as strong growth in coveted commercial loans, the company could see its stock valuation come up to peer levels, assuming it doesn't plan on another transformative acquisition over the near term.
Based on Capital One's fourth-quarter results and 2014 outlook, Howlett reiterated his "buy rating," lowered his price target for the shares to $85 from $87, while lowering his 2014 EPS estimate to $6.65 from $7.15 and his 2015 EPS estimate to $7.43 from $7.74.
Howlett wrote that his investment case for Capital One is "predicated on its post balance sheet transformation earnings model, which should be in full swing by 2H14. We believe the U.S. card book can grow by $4B (6%) in 2015, while the commercial and auto books can grow at mid-double digit rates. Factoring in expense and capital management, we expect the earnings growth rate to be in 10%+ 2015-2017."
Capital One's shares were up 0.9% in early trading Tuesday, to $72.79.

Goodbye, my friend. I've enjoyed shooting you for over a year or so now. You've never failed me and have never complained no matter how cheap the ammo was I've fed you. You've been dead on accurate, or, as accurate as you could be in my hands. You've given me lots of fun. I've learned a lot, but it is time to say farewell. I decided I needed to share the joy with somebody else. You were, in my opinion, finally, just too big and clunky to give me the kind of shooting experience I enjoy the most. Here's one last video of our last outing together. I sold you for a LOT more than I paid for you within thirty minutes of posting my "sale" notice. I sold all the magazines I used for you for another $400 bucks. So, thanks, you've made it possible for me to pick up a HK .45 Tactical, I've got my eyes set on your new little brother in OD Green.

wl-kmodSource RPMs for Broadcom driversPlease note: The current Broadcom closed-source Linux drivers when built according to the instructions provided here have provided functional wireless capability to some users, but have failed for other users. Broadcom Corp. provides closed-source IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n Linux drivers for use with Broadcom's BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4313, BCM4321, BCM4322, BCM4352, BCM43142, BCM43224, BCM43225, BCM43227 and BCM43228 wireless chipsets. We (ELRepo) cannot create and redistribute binary RPMS for these drivers due to the Broadcom licensing restrictions (i.e., liability issues). However, we do make available no-source SRPMS (.nosrc.rpm) which contain the framework required to build the binaries, but lack the proprietary code and are not subject to Broadcom's licensing restrictions. These no-source SRPMS can be used by the end user to build kABI-compatible binary drivers for local use. These kABI-compatible binaries should be usable after future kernel updates, so there is no need to recompile them for each new kernel. Please note that the nosrc.rpm package does not build kmod-wl for kernel-xen and kmod-wl cannot be built on a system running kernel-xen. To build a kmod-wl binary, you will need to (1) configure a build tree, (2) download the wl-kmod*nosrc.rpm for your EL release, (3) download the closed-source tarball from Broadcom for your architecture (i.e., 32-bit vs 64-bit) into the build tree and (4) initiate the kmod-wl build. For convenience, the kernel development package for the running kernel will be used in the build process, as opposed to our normal policy of building against an older kernel development package. The kmod-wl package can be built on any system running the same EL release/architecture as the target system. If you are building on the target system and lack network connectivity, then the downloads can be made onto a USB flash drive and copied onto your system. Below are the detailed instructions on how to build the binary packages. If you are already familiar with using rpmbuild to build packages, then this process should only take you 5-10 minutes to complete. Build and install kmod-wl for EL5/6/7 (Note: This page is currently being modified and instructions may be incomplete)1) Install needed tools/packages: 1a) EL5: # yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' # yum install redhat-lsb * Install appropriate kernel*devel - For 32-bit: # yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r|sed 's/PAE//') kernel-PAE-devel-$(uname -r|sed 's/PAE//') - For 64-bit: # yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) 1b) EL6: # yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' # yum install redhat-lsb kernel-abi-whitelists # yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) EL6 Note: Due to a bug in redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-42.el6, a modification is required to fix the kabi-whitelist target in /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-requires.ksyms before you build kmod-wl.

Contest: Show Your Breakfast. Win 5 Gallons of Fat.
Posted By Mark Sisson On August 11, 2009 @ 8:33 am In Announcements | 21 Comments
The Prize:
5 gallons of fat. That's 36 pounds of pure, grass fed beef tallow [7], coming to you in a giant bucket. It's the perfect prize if you want to cook ham and eggs for a family of 4000, or if you want to play Santa to all your Primal friends.
Animal fats are tasty [8], and while you can render your own [9], it's much easier to let someone else melt the cow. Enter US Wellness [10]. US Wellness Meats is a one stop shop for the Primal eater, and today's prize is donated by founder John Wood. Read more about why his meats are so healthy [11], and visit his site if you want to order your own fat bucket [7], slab of grass fed beef [12], or homemade pemmican [13].
The Contest:
Send me a pic of your breakfast. The fatter, the better. Does it have eggs? Great. Bacon? Even better. Do you like to start every day with a porterhouse floating in a bowl of lobster and butter? Then you might have a problem, but you get the idea. Take a snap shot of it and send it in. Anything goes, but I better not see any Special K. If Special K is still your idea of healthy, then frankly, why are you trying to win 5 gallons of fat? Mad props go to the fattest, most Primal breakfast, but the winner will be selected in a random drawing. Email me the picture [14] along with the subject heading: "Show Your Breakfast". As long as it's your breakfast and it's not cereal, you're entered to win.
This one's pretty self explanatory, but just in case you don't know what a breakfast looks like… My [15] breakfast:
Girl Gone Primal [16]'s breakfast.
This prize is only available to residents of the 48 contiguous states. [If you don't live in the U.S. and you win I'll ship you a bottle of my Master Formula [17] instead, and the fat will go to an alternate winner.]
The Contest End Time:
Midnight, August 15. That gives you the rest of the week to send in your pic.
How the Winner Will Be Determined:
A random drawing will be held among all entrants who submit adequate photos.

Don't get hijacked Utah's Dave Fletcher Jan. 25
The news that a hacker was offering to sell administrative control to a number of government websites, including Utah.gov, got Utah's CIO — and blogger — Dave Fletcher wondering how that would work.
"Problem is, Utah.gov is not a simple construct with an administrative console that controls it all so what exactly is this hacker selling for $99?" he writes. "The Utah.gov domain consists of about 6 million pages, over 950 services, dynamic feeds, all somewhat linked together with a central portal, which itself is an entire suite of applications built to support the complex array of interactions between citizens and government. It appears that the hacker gained access to a lightly used subdomain that is not even managed by the state's central IT so this was reviewed, patched, etc."
Although the risk of some anonymous buyer getting control of the state's website appears remote, the incident highlights a vulnerability that Web administrators need to be vigilant about, Fletcher writes. It's possible for hackers to gain access to parts of sites through such weak points and use them to post ads for erectile dysfunction drugs or other items commonly sold through spam ads. The goal is to increase the number of links from external pages back to the disreputable merchant's site so that it rises in search engine rankings.
"Even organizations with well-structure[d] standards and deployment policies and procedures fall prey to this," Fletcher writes. "With government being as diverse as it is, someone in each organization needs to remain vigilant and aware of these kinds of activities."
The speed of the crowd Federal Communications Commission Jan. 25
The Federal Communications Commission's Consumer Broadband Test tool, which launched in spring 2010, has been gathering data on the Internet connection speeds of more than a million users. Now FCC has released an application programming interface to the developer community to enable others to use the data.
There's already enough information to demonstrate some practical uses, writes Michael Byrne, FCC's geographic information officer, in recounting an FCC presentation at the ESRI Federal User Conference in January.
"The particularly exciting part of this presentation was the ability to display projected speeds at different geographies within standard error, all extrapolated out from the speed test data points that were input by users," he writes. "By using the 1 million-plus records submitted by users, we were able to display a map that shows the probability of a certain level of mobile broadband speed at any given spot in the U.S."
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto General Services Administration Jan. 12
General Services Administration CIO Casey Coleman recently got a demonstration of Anybots' robot, which can stand in for a person who controls it remotely via the Web.
"You can be home and view activity in your office or warehouse as well as talk to employees and visitors," she writes. "You can see and be seen! Anybot was very cool!"
The demonstration was part of a larger presentation on emerging technologies. Although Coleman does not identify the event, robotic technology was apparently a major aspect of it. She also writes about robots that can protect soldiers or increase mobility for elderly people and those with disabilities.
"I was surprised to see that Microsoft even has robotics developer software," Coleman writes. "Who knew?"
