This is the year that native advertising and content marketing took flight, writes Shane Snow. Brands such as Coca-Cola, Facebook and Red Bull ran creative content-based campaigns that showed ways to move beyond stale social media strategies, and "stood out as models for an industry that's largely on board with content marketing, but still spreading its wings," Snow writes.

"On this album, different things inspired me," says Usher. "Normally, I'm pulling from personal relationships and from older musical styles, but the things that motivated me this time were sounds and music that were very new and indie, like going to the Coachella festival or to Ibiza. I've traveled the world, toured nearly every continent—this phase of my life and my career is very open to exploring."
On his seventh studio album, LOOKING 4 MYSELF, seven-time Grammy winner Usher Raymond takes some bold steps into unexpected musical territory. Assuming the most active role of his career as a songwriter, and working with a wide range of producers and collaborators—including Diplo, Swedish House Mafia, Max Martin, Will I. Am, and Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun—one of the best-selling musical artists in history has blended electro dance beats with his signature, era-defining R&B, pop, and hip-hop sounds to create a style that goes beyond category.
"I felt the creative freedom to be daring," he says. "There's a moment where you question, is this something that my audience is ready to accept? But I listened to artists like the Beatles and Prince and Marvin Gaye at pivotal moments, where they really spoke how they felt, and I took that liberty to be as creative as possible."
Judging from the reaction to the first single, the simmering, atmospheric "Climax," Usher need not have worried. The song's video was viewed more than eight million times in less than a month, earning rave reviews from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and USA Today. In addition, LOOKING 4 MYSELF is being released on the heels of two wildly diverse, multi-platinum chart-topping collaborations featuring Usher: "Without You" by David Guetta, which held the Number One spot on the Pop charts, and "Promise" with Romeo Santos, which reached Number One on the Latin charts.
Challenging himself creatively and testing musical boundaries are characteristics that have defined Usher's career since he was first discovered an unbelievable twenty years ago on Star Search. Since then, he has sold over 43 million albums worldwide. Billboard named him the second most successful artist of the 2000s decade, with his ten-million-selling 2004 album Confessions ranked as the top solo album of the decade. Usher has attained nine Hot 100 Number One hits and seventeen Hot 100 Top Ten singles.
Along the way, Usher has recorded with everyone from Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, and Shakira to Jay-Z, T.I. even Enrique Iglesias. He has appeared everywhere from Broadway to the Super Bowl. He is part owner of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, has a best-selling line of fragrances, and a business venture with RBMG (Raymond Braun Media Group), home to superstar Justin Bieber.
"I've never been one to repeat myself, but I do want people to get the essence of the Usher they like," he says. "I think people understand that I'm well-traveled and that I've continued to develop—but also, that I haven't lost myself, but expanded myself, and I keep that heart and soul in everything I'm singing."
Realizing that with success comes responsibility. Usher has also proven to be a major philanthropic force. Founded in 1999, his New Look Foundation empowers youth from impoverished communities to become leaders. In recognition of his accomplishments, Usher has been honored by the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the Trumpet Foundation, Do Something, the NAACP, and as the 2010 Ford Freedom Award Scholar.
All of this experience, vision, and ambition come through on LOOKING 4 MYSELF, beginning with the title song (a collaboration with Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun), which Usher says was directly inspired by his visit to the indie/dance mecca of Coachella. Over a breezy, percolating track, he muses on the search for fulfillment. "You're in pursuit of this goal, searching for perfection, but you're never going to reach it," he explains. "It feels like a bearing of the soul, but it's about shedding a skin you no longer need—you cannot go forward if you continue looking back."
Perhaps even more striking is the propulsive, ominous "Sins of My Father," produced by Salaam Remi. "When you hear that title, you think about the Old Testament, or maybe even politics," says Usher. "How as a society, we reap the repercussions of liberties taken, like you're serving a sentence for a crime you didn't commit.
"Also, that's a chapter I never spoke about, how my dad was not in my life as a child, and now, when I'm dealing with my children and relationships, that can lead to karma and consequences. I thought these were all things that would be intriguing to talk about."
Other songs reveal different moods; "It's cool to be serious, but without fun, you ain't living," says Usher. "Scream" (produced by Max Martin), the follow up single to "Climax," and "Can't Stop Won't Stop" with Will I. Am, are arm-waving, club-banging rave-ups. "Those are just ultimate party records," he says, "bridging the gap from urban to world audience—no color, no genre." On "Lemme See," Usher rewinds things a bit. "Having Rick Ross on this one is that little touch that tips it over the edge," he says. "Everybody loves it in the hood, but it ends up worldwide. And I'm kinda going back to my childhood in that one, taking my shirt off!"
The inspiration for the easy-rocking "Show Me" came from an unexpected place. "I was reading 'Going on a Bear Hunt' to my boys, and there's a line 'You can't go over it, you can't go around it, you gotta go through it,'" Usher recalls. "That made me think about life and its obstacles. I had just performed 'Stand By Me' on the Grammy Nominations television special, and it made me want to do something uplifting like that."
Yet another direction emerged on "Euphoria," produced by Swedish House Mafia. "I kind of looked at that song like 'Thriller,'" says Usher. "A record that really gives people an experience, where your bedroom starts transforming into a whole new place, and it feels like there are lights and people coming out of everywhere."
Even with all of these new creative partners and experimental approaches, Usher maintains that no one pushed him harder than himself. "I really did exceed my own expectations," he says. "Not only did I get the records I wanted, but I got hits, records that will really affect people. I proved that I can get with Diplo or Swedish House Mafia and be able to make that connection, make something people would respond to."
To Usher Raymond, LOOKING 4 MYSELF represents the next stage in his own coming of age; it's a project he could not have undertaken until this phase in his life. "As a young artist, you live vicariously through others until you have your own experiences," he says. "Younger artists might have to go through just doing one thing, like how Picasso had his blue period. But as you grow older, you become able to articulate yourself better and know what works for you.
"So this album is not a monochromatic thing—certain songs were specifically intended to get certain things out, different tones and emotions. And as an artist, that brought out the best in me."

|• Homeland Security & Public Safety
Campaign themes
Simmons's website highlighted the following campaign themes: Stop Illegal Immigration
- Excerpt: "We must use all means necessary to secure the Texas border, end the incentives which encourage illegal behavior, and pass sanctuary cities legislation."
Oppose ObamaCare and Federal Mandates
- Excerpt: "While I support a system that allows everyone that wants health insurance the right to purchase it, no one should be forced to purchase insurance. ObamaCare is another example of how Washington, D.C. is taking away the right of Texans to govern our own affairs, and it must end."
Cut Government Spending, Promote Efficient Government
- Excerpt: "We must use our revenues for best and be willing to eliminate – not just reduce – those things that are just good. This is how Texas families and businesses manage their finances, and our state government should do the same."
Promote jobs and a strong economy
- Excerpt: "Government should avoid policies that have a negative effect on increased goods and/or services sold by the private sector. Frivolous lawsuits, unnecessary regulations, and government bureaucracy drive up the cost of doing business in the state, increase costs to our citizens, and ultimately are a drag on jobs and our economy."
Elections for all 150 seats in the Texas House of Representatives took place in 2014. A primary election took place on March 4, 2014.

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Texas scorecards, email suggestions to email@example.com.
Please see our writing guidelines if you would like to add results from an individual scorecard to this legislator's profile.
In 2013, the Texas State Legislature was in its 83rd legislative session from January 8 through May 27. Thirty minutes after the regular session ended, Governor Rick Perry called legislators back for a special session starting that evening.[6] Two additional called sessions were held from July 1 through July 30 and July 30 through August 5.[7]

You Are Not Ready for Sushi Cat
Are you someplace where no one will look at you weird when you burst into a fit of euphoric giggling? No? Do that first. You did it? Okay, good.
We open with a story about a rare and "magically combined" creature. The Sushi Cat is much like a unicorn -- but better. A Sushi Cat is a cat who rides around on a rice ball where you'd usually find a slice of delicious raw fish. How did the cat get there? What happened to the fish? No one knows for sure, but a really good guess is that the cat ate the fish and then found that the rice was a cozy place to hang out. But it doesn't really matter how Sushi Cat came to be. Sushi Cat is here.
Sushi Cat is like a falling star -- you can't go looking for a Sushi Cat, they just magically appear "between things." Sushi Cats were more prevalent before we got all jaded, but they're still around, and people who have particularly strong imaginations report more sightings than, say, curmudgeons who hate fun.
Watch the video below -- have you ever seen a Sushi Cat?
We're not sure why this exists. We don't really care. It's sublimely absurd and don't worry! No kitties were hurt! Everything was digitally altered! Binary magic! And don't worry, no one is saying we should eat Sushi Cat -- these handsome and terrifying creatures are strictly for magical, euphoria-inducing purposes.
If you're not grinning ear to ear, we don't know what's wrong with you.
Bonus! Below is the video, History of Sushi Cat, and it explains things more eloquently than we ever could.

Infamous figure skating champion Tonya Harding is moving on to a new lifetime adventure -- she's going to be a mom.
The 40-year old is expecting her first child, with husband Joseph Price. Harding is best known for her part in the attack on skating nemesis Nancy Kerrigan. The attack took place after a 1994 practice session for the U.S. Figure skating championships.
Kerrigan was hit in the knee with a club and Harding was banned from skating professionally for life.
Since then, Harding has been a boxer and done commentary appearances on Tru-TV's the Smoking Gun series among her exploits.
The former skater says she is having a baby boy and is super excited about becoming a mother for the first time.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs beat Indians in 12 to avoid doubleheader sweep
CLEVELAND � Tuffy Gosewisch's RBI single with one out in the 12th inning gave the Arizona Diamondbacks a 1-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night to earn a split of a doubleheader.
Five Arizona pitchers combined on the shutout as the Diamondbacks avoided a sweep after Zach Walters' walkoff homer in the ninth gave the Indians a 3-2 win in the opener.
Randall Delgado (2-3), the losing pitcher in the first game, pitched the 11th. Addison Reed gave up pinch-hitter Lonnie Chisenhall's two-out double in the 12th, but struck out Jason Kipnis for his 28th save to end the 4-hour, 16-minute game.
Alfredo Marte drew a leadoff walk from C.C. Lee (0-1) to start the winning rally. After a sacrifice, Gosewisch singled up the middle for the game's only run.
Arizona loaded the bases with two outs in the eighth, but Miguel Montero grounded out to end the inning. The Diamondbacks stranded 11 runners on while the Indians left 10.
Michael Brantley started the 11th with a double, but Delgado struck out Carlos Santana and Chris Dickerson and retired Walters on a groundout.
Josh Tomlin pitched 5 1-3 innings while Andrew Chafin threw five innings in his major league debut. Both made spot starts after Tuesday's game was postponed by rain.
Tomlin retired the first nine hitters before Ender Inciarte led off the fourth with an infield hit. Center fielder Tyler Holt made a diving catch of David Peralta's liner to help Tomlin get out of the inning.
Tomlin, 0-3 in his previous five starts since throwing a one-hit shutout at Seattle on June 28, was pulled with a runner on second and one out in the sixth. Peralta's drive to right looked to be good for extra bases, but Ryan Raburn made a diving catch on the warning track after a long run.
Chafin, an Ohio native who pitched at Kent State, was called up on Aug. 8. He attended high school about 50 miles from Cleveland, and had more than 60 family members and friends at Progressive Field.
Walters, acquired from Washington for Asdrubal Cabrera on July 31, hit a 1-2 pitch from Delgado that narrowly cleared the wall in right field to win the opener. The home run was the fourth of his career.
"He's hit a couple balls right on the nose," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "On a day that it was probably going to take a home run to win it, it was good to see him do it. I'm sure that will help him relax."
Cody Allen (4-2) pitched the ninth for Cleveland to get the win.
Trevor Bauer, pitching against the team that took him with the third pick of the 2011 draft, allowed two runs and struck out nine in a career-high eight innings.
Bauer faced the minimum 15 batters through five innings before running into trouble in the sixth. Jake Lamb drew a leadoff walk before Xavier Paul lined a clean single to right, putting runners on first and third. Lamb scored when Jordan Pacheco hit into a double play.
Michael Brantley's two-run single put Cleveland ahead in the bottom of the inning, but the Diamondbacks tied the game in the seventh on Aaron Hill's RBI groundout.

On July 29, the CFPB announced that it extended 30 days to September 22, 2014 the deadline for submitting comments on its proposal to publish consumer complaint narratives. In doing so, the CFPB again defended the proposal as consistent with practices at other government agencies and as an extension of its efforts to give voice to consumers' concerns. The extension followed a request from a group of industry trade associations that noted the numerous legal and practical issues raised by the proposal.

When you work with volatile materialslynching as reality and metaphor, women hidden by burqas, or memories of incest, for instanceyou must be clear-eyed and organized. Trebien Pollard of Skeleton Dance Project (Joyce Soho, July) certainly is, and his visioninfluenced by Graham, Ailey, Ronald K. Brown, club dancing, and martial artsrarely falters. But each dance in his "Stories Told" suite stretched to epic length, as if his spiritual passion would shatter a smaller vessel. His mission? Nothing less than the reclamation of abused, lost souls. The excellent cast included Darrell Jones (in The Cries of the Prophets, wearing a bulging noose's knot like a hideous tie, writhing and straining, a homicide chalk outline come to life) and Leslie Myers (in The Gospel of a Swan) trying out heavy wings despite all odds. Eva Yaa Asantewaa
Sarah Skaggs clothes her ensemble in coolly contemporary white shirts and black pants, but excerpts from her Higher Ground (Jacob's Pillow, July) resemble a mosaic assembled from a shattered time line. The dancers cross their arms, evoking Egyptian mummies; make courtly bows; casually peel off invisible T-shirts. In Get Out of the House, transferred from the city's Roosevelt Park to a more conventional stage setting, Eric Dunlap, Jae Gruenke, Jeremy Laverdure, Brittany Reese, and the abyss-risking Kathi McGowan skim across the floor, attack with tae-bo kicks, stretch through sculptural yoga asanas, and use their arms as cranks to wheel their torsos around. Heaven and hellfire struggle for supremacy in Skaggs's brief Prelude for Salome; to the rants of an evangelist, she collapses backward, grasping at the air. In her exhilarating Moondog Solos, Skaggs whips energy beyond her slight frame; it seems to batter the space around her until she stands with arms stretched like an acolyte of Leni Riefenstahl. Here, nothing is extraneous; every move is full-throttle.
"Martha @ the Pillow" (August) was a posthumous return for the gal who got her start in Ruth St. Denis's cigar-box fantasies. Anyone can wear false eyelashes and a bowling-ball-size chignon; Richard Move embodies an archetype. As a drag show turned dance-history lecture, "Martha @" could not have gathered a more knowledgeable and appreciative audience for its spot-on "Shrink Lits" distillations of Cave of the Heart, Night Journey, and Lamentation. (Deborah Goodman was especially good demonstrating suitably anguished contractions; Reid Hutchins is a heavenly hunk.) Being larger than an ordinary woman translates neatly as larger-than-lifebut one wishes Move hadn't been so pious. At the Pillow, his dulcet-pitched comments were connect-the-dots linear when oracular would have been funnier. Only his lockjawed double takesduring a conversation in which Yvonne Rainer (who seems to be impersonating David Byrne) patiently tried to explain her own workwere sufficiently comic. Graham may have been constitutionally incapable of sharing the spotlight; Move opens his door to other artists. Stuart Hodes, dapper in impeccable white, has lost nothing of his powerprecise small gestures such as wagging a finger and plucking a fragrant flower loomed large in White Knight, Black Knight, created with his daughter Catherine and here performed with Jennifer Conley. Rainer's Three Seascapes, last seen in 1962, featured Patricia Hoffbauer jogging to Rachmaninoff and later lolling with stoned ease to a painful La Monte Young score, which returned Rainer to her rebellious context. Stacy Dawson gave a lusciously creepy performance in the strobe-cued Host, in which a girl in a doll's pinafore was partnered by the corpseor maybe the ghostof an antlered deer. Chet Walker's slight, Fosse-style Live and Laugh at It All got a sinister reading from Leon Le and a suave one from Robert McFarland, with Walker himself the "what me worry" leader of the pack.

KENTON – It can be difficult to project how a young football player will respond to playing an unfamiliar position.
Kenton coach Mike Mauk saw potential on the defensive side of the football for Noah Furbush.
As a sophomore, Furbush found himself lining up at wide receiver, a very popular position on the Kenton high-powered spread offense.
However, as time passed, Mauk thought Furbush might have an even brighter future on defense.
The move paid off.
The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Furbush was a dominant force on defense for the Wildcats this season. The senior defensive end/linebacker will be heading to the University of Michigan next school year to play for the Wolverines.
For the regular season, Furbush recorded 93 tackles, 12 sacks and 16 tackles for a loss.
For all of his accomplishments this season, Furbush was named the defensive player of the year on The Lima News Dream Team.
Furbush was named the defensive lineman of the year in the Western Buckeye League, and was also the district defensive player of the year in Division IV.
Furbush helped lead his team to the WBL title and a No. 1 ranking in the final Associated Press poll.
Kenton (13-0) will play Clinton-Massie (12-1) at 7:30 p.m. Friday night in a Division IV state semifinal at the University of Dayton's Welcome Stadium.
Defensively, Kenton led the WBL in nearly every category. The Wildcats were first in the WBL in scoring defense (7.2 points per game); total team defense (189.7 yards per game); team passing defense (101.5) and team rushing defense (88.2).
"Noah was a wide receiver for us as a sophomore," Mauk said. "We made the switch over to defense in his junior year. He went from 195 pounds (sophomore season) and played at about 215 as a junior, and he played at about 235, 240 this year. He's put on weight, but he's put on good muscle mass."
Furbush said he was willing to make the change, if that would benefit both him and the team.
"It's definitely been a crazy transition," Furbush said. "I still remember when coach Mauk called me into his office and told me, 'Maybe we ought to try you out on defense'.
"I said, 'OK. …If I get to play on defense, then that's what I'm going to do'. Looking forward, I never thought I would be in the position that I am in today. It's been a blessing. I'm very fortunate to be in this position."
Furbush was a force this season, despite being hampered with an injured wrist. He suffered a broken wrist during the preseason and has played with a cast on his left wrist ever since.
"If my doctor could have had it his way, I definitely wouldn't have played," Furbush said with a smile. "We were able to come upon an agreement that I would wear this cast for the entire season. Thankfully, I was able to play."
Furbush's decision to go to Michigan was based on several factors.
"It started in the spring and just carried on through the summer and eventually I made the decision to go to Michigan," Furbush said. "It was kind of like shopping for a new coat. You go around and look at all the coats you want and eventually you decide on the one you want, and Michigan was my choice. I really liked Michigan's engineering program. That really played a lot into my decision, too."
Mauk points to Furbush's dedication and work ethic as two of his best attributes. He also plays basketball and baseball.
"He's a hard working kid," Mauk said. "He never misses a workout in our training program. The other thing that sets him apart, besides his work habit, is that he's great in the classroom. He's always very respectful. He just epitomizes what you look for in a young man that you want to represent your team. Noah is as good as we've ever had."

Mate: A strong herbal tea, Montevideo
8 Reviews
8 Reviews
Le mate est un incontournable en Uruguay, il fait partie de la vie de tous les jours.
Il peut se boire seul, mais c'est surtout une boisson de partage.
Drinking mate is normaly with friend, in a group, seldom alone.
You take it on the street, at a concert, in your car, a great experience not to be missed.
It's a very typical habit in Uruguay and other south-america countries the drinking fo Mate, a local herbal tea. The tea is made by hot water with a very strong kind of herba and it's very popular among all population, young and older.
I tasted and I didn't like it, but everyone has a different taste, so if you have never tried, it worths try, at least just to say you have tried.
I have lived in Buenos Aires for almost a year now and I thought that Portenos were crazy for their mate but they don't hold a candle to Uruguayans. I still can't totally get ready for mate on the beach though. It's already blazing hot out there in the afternoon and everyone is sipping on there hot mate. That's ok because that means that they left all of the cold Sprite for me.
People in Uruguay are either on their way to have mate, are having mate or just came from having mate. Where as most people in Argentina enjoy mate at home with friends, in Uruguay it is everywhere and almost everyone has a thermos under their arm for hot water.
Mate is a strong herbal tea, a great afternoon expierence to share with friends or solo.
and I like it too!
Mate is kind of a tee that almost everyone in Uruguay likes.
To drink mate you need yerba, a mate (where you put the yerba) ,a bombilla (similar to a straw) and hot water.
You will see people everywhere in Montevideo walking around with their termo and mate.
Mate is much more than the drink itself, its great for when friends get together to sip a few mates and talk about anything.
It would seem if I didn't mention Mate, I'd easily be lying about visiting Uruguay. Drinking Mate is a past-time hobby more popular, dare I say, than Football?! I mean EVERYONE has their personal, cute mate holder, w/ Silver Straw... and they even carry a nice thermos of sorts for backups.
I didn't try mate. Primary reason for that is that it is an herbal tea known to create gastro-havoc if you have GI problems. And I do, badly... so as Much as I would have enjoyed trying this -- apparently bitter hot herb tea beverage -- I had to pass.
Many places in Montevideo will sell you a wide range of Mate Cups / Holders and thermoses. Some get VERY fancy, but the basic mate Cup is constructed out of a gourd. So it is Biodegradable!
Very interesting!
Mate is our national "drug"... It's an infusion made of "yerba mate" (dried and sliced leaves of a plant called Illex paraguayensis) and served in a pumpkin (also called "mate") with hot water; you must suck it with a "bombilla" (some kind of metallic pipe). People have mate in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil, too, but Uruguay is the only country where you will see people having mate on the streets (actually, everywhere...)
The picture was taken when I was one year and a half...
But, between us, I do not like mate at all!!!
(More pictures and info at the travelogue)
El mate es nuestra "droga" nacional... Es una infusión hecha con "yerba mate" (hojas secas y molidas de una planta llamada Illex paraguayensis) y servido en una especie de calabaza (llamada también mate) con agua caliente; se sorbe con una "bombilla" (una especie de sorbete metálico). La gente toma mate en Argentina, Paraguay y Brazil, también, pero Uruguay es el único país en donde verás gente tomando mate en la calle (en realidad, en todas partes...)
La foto fue tomada cuando yo tenía un año y medio...
Pero, entre nosotros, ¡¡¡no me gusta el mate!!!!
(Más fotos e información en el travelogue).
Everywhere you look people are drinking Mate, and it is a great tea like drink. It is good after a meal as it seems to help your digestion.

Peterson and the "best" talkPosted by on October 4, 2013 – 9:58 am
After Patrick Peterson made a pair of interceptions last week in Tampa, coach Bruce Arians called Peterson the best cornerback in the game. That shouldn't come as a surprise.
It's certainly a topic that has come up before. Peterson certainly has a lot of confidence in himself. Sometimes, he's a little more vague about his place in the pecking order than others. Sometimes, he talks about being the best cornerback in the game or wanting to be the best cornerback in the game. It never sounds over-the-top. Most of the time, he sounds matter of fact. He said it on a recent appearance on profootballtalk.com's daily video show.
"I definitely feel like I am the best corner in the game. I just want to continue getting better every week," Peterson said. "I believe if I do my job to the best of my ability, which is going out there and not letting the opponent's number one receiver to get off and have a big game, I believe we have a big opportunity of winning the ball game."
Peterson added that if can compete going against the opponent's best receiver every game, "then there's no question that you are the number one defensive back in the league."
Of course, that's debatable. There are plenty of backers of Darrelle Revis in Tampa and Richard Sherman in Seattle. Certainly, Sherman is excellent — although it would be interesting to swap these guys around into the different defenses for which they play and see if that impacts the play. Nevertheless, it doesn't change the fact Peterson is one of the biggest keys on the defense. Nor the fact he aches to improve so that he can take some of the doubt out of such debates.
"He's getting better and better, not that he wasn't any good," said Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith, against whom Peterson will most likely match up Sunday. "He has confidence in himself and his abilities, and why would he not? His play shows it."

Fitz visits Revis IslandPosted by on September 26, 2013 – 3:04 pm
The last time — the only time — Larry Fitzgerald went to Revis Island, it wasn't even an island yet. It was still just young, promising cornerback Darrelle Revis, like Fitzgerald a University of Pittsburgh product and No. 1 pick of the New York Jets. Fitz had eight catches for 122 yards that day in New York, but Revis had two interceptions of Kurt Warner — returning one for a touchdown — and two pass deflections. The Jets took a 34-0 lead at halftime and ended up with a 56-35 win. Revis' first pick was intended for tight end Ben Patrick. His second was on the final play of the game, a pass thrown to Fitz that had little meaning behind it since just a few moments before, Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin had had his jaw shattered.
Fitz and Revis hadn't had a chance to see each other since. Last year in New York, Revis had long been down with his torn knee ligament, and it's not like the Jets' defense needed help on Fitz given the Cards' bad quarterback situation. The Cards scored just six points that day.
So now Fitzgerald gets a real chance at Revis Island when the Cards visit Tampa Bay, Revis' new home, Sunday.
"This is the best defense in general we have faced all season," Fitzgerald said. "Darelle is playing at an elite level as always. I don't see any difference in his play."
Revis has played since the opener coming off his knee surgery. He plays a Fitzgerald who is practicing fully this week after suffering his hamstring pull. Fitz had a team-best five catches and 64 yards in New Orleans, but certainly, it wouldn't hurt if the Cards could use him more and surely, Fitz would like that himself.
"I know Larry very well," Revis said. "I know him personally and it's cool, it's competition, I've played him before, a couple years ago. I'm excited he's healthy and I'm excited he's back (from injury), so it's going to be fun. Whoever I line up on — You never know, I might not line up on Larry — but whatever the game plan is and what we're doing is for us to execute a winning game."
One interesting coincidence: The last time Fitzgerald and Revis played against each other? It came at the end of the Cardinals spending a week away from Arizona between games on the East coast — just like this week.

DRC/PP expectationsPosted by on May 18, 2011 – 3:05 pm
Patrick Peterson was blunt when asked about wanting to have an NFL "island" as a cornerback, a la Darrelle Revis. "I don't want an island," he said. "I want a universe." Alrighty then. That's a pretty big area. You have to assume, in such a universe, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie would have to be part of the equation.
Just what will the Cardinals have with the DRC/PP combination – not yet forgetting Greg Toler, who won't have the draft pedigree of the other two but arguably will be the best tackler? (We have yet to see what Peterson brings to the table in terms of tackling, but for now, keep the DRC comments to yourself.)
Because neither has been around, it's difficult to get a feel for how the duo – or trio, including Toler – will fit together. Here's what we know: DRC acknowledged last season he didn't play as well as he could or should have, and he must improve (note I didn't say "master") the art of tackling. Toler can play physically, but he remains raw as a cornerback. Peterson has to learn the NFL game period.
The last time the Cards took a cornerback high in the draft, Antrel Rolle certainly entered a different situation. The starting cornerbacks at the time were David Macklin and Robert Tate, and with all due respect to those guys, DRC and Toler are a better duo. The year the Cards took Rolle, they also took Eric Green in the third round, which shows you how much they needed cornerbacks. Rolle was late arriving to camp but was still going to jump into the lineup sooner rather than later; this was Dennis Green as coach. He had no problem thrusting rookies in the lineup. Peterson has Ken Whisenhunt as coach, and if anything, Whisenhunt has shown he'll slow it down for rookies and playing time if he has a feasible alternative and Toler qualifies.
(Toler, at the least, should be able to be a solid nickel cornerback in a league where three cornerbacks are often needed.)
One thing is guaranteed, and that's the confidence both DRC and Peterson own. Perfect for their position, and necessary. As has been noted many times, whomever plays cornerback will need a steady pass rush to achieve high-profile status. But if DRC can take his 2009 season and ratchet it up, and Peterson becomes the player everyone keeps saying he should be, high expectations should be the bar the two are able to reach.

Madison Bumgarner is quick to remind Brandon Belt who hit the first home run between them this year. Yes, the pitcher won that one. And it is Bumgarner taking the credit for getting Belt back on track, too. All but gone are those constant ''Baby Giraffe'' references to Belt and his long neck that he dealt with all of last season as a rookie, when someone even sent a giraffe plant to the clubhouse as a gift. While he has never minded his nickname much, he is a lot happier now being known for something else. At last, the talk has turned to Belt's long swing. He is emerging as a steady force in the lineup the way the San Francisco Giants had so hoped he would. It has been quite a process to get to this point, and this is only his second major league season. ''I think the game has slowed down and it has simplified,'' Belt said. ''I was trying to force hits out of myself.'' Some fans were down on him, others wanted him to just get his shot. Belt's bosses were growing impatient as ...

Centralized credit bureau seen to open in Dec. '14
popular .
A centralized national credit bureau under a fledgling government-owned and -controlled corporation called Credit Information Corp. (CIC) is expected to start operations under the auspices of the Securities and Exchange Commission by December next year.
In a recent press briefing, SEC Chair Teresita Herbosa said CIC was now in the process of procuring computer systems and establishing the network to finally jump-start operations. CIC has budgeted about P100 million to set up its information technology platform, she said.
The CIC is a partnership between the government, which owns a 60-percent stake, and the private sector, which controls the remaining 40 percent.
Herbosa said the credit bureau's stockholders included the Credit Card Association of the Philippines, the Bankers Association of the Philippines and the Cooperative Development Authority.
"The target is to be operational by December 2014," Herbosa said.
The law creating the CIC was passed in 2009 but it took another two years to pass the implementing rules and regulations and more time to fill up the board and for the government to make its equity contribution, she said.
The CIC has a paid-up common stock of P125 million as initial capitalization. It also receives a regular subsidy from the government to fund its startup costs.
Herbosa said Jaime Garchitorena was named officer in charge of CIC.
The SEC chair noted that the GOCC would benefit not only from Garchitorena's managerial skills but also his marketing experience.
The operation of CIC would require educating the public.
Congress has mandated the SEC, instead of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, to oversee the operations of CIC but Herbosa said the SEC would always invite representatives from the BSP to assist during crucial meetings.
"Microfinance is handled by us and microfinance is one of the biggest beneficiaries of a central credit bureau," Herbosa said.
"The big banks have their own credit systems. The targets of CIC are the people who will otherwise not be able to borrow. Financial inclusion is the objective—those people who borrow from rural banks and pay (credit) in installments," she said.
She said financial inclusion was one of the requirements for the Philippines to improve its competitiveness.
CIC is envisioned to become the leading provider of independent, reliable and accurate credit information in the Philippines. It was created by virtue of Republic Act. No. 9510, otherwise known as the Credit Information System Act.
This GOCC is mandated to collect, collate and disseminate credit information that come from various sources, including banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, financing companies, credit cooperatives, utility companies and other businesses that extend loans.
The CIC will compile these credit information to help creditors evaluate the ability of prospective and existing customers to pay.
Under the law, the government has five years from the start of the CIC's operations to dispose of at least 20 percent of its shares to qualified investors. This means CIC will, in the future, cease to be a GOCC.
CIC is tasked to help lenders, borrowers and the economy as a whole by:
•Making credit accessible to more people, especially to small entrepreneurs.
•Protecting creditors against incurring bad debts, thus improving the health of the financial system.
•Aiding in quicker credit evaluation and decisions.
•Reducing the cost of processing loans, thus benefiting consumers in terms of lower borrowing cost.
•Protecting creditors from fraudulent borrowers, as well protecting consumers against financial mismanagement.
•Promoting more confidence in the system, thus spurring greater economic activity through a more sustainable expansion of credit and reducing poverty.
