Amonte 'worried' about B's Cup chances
The Bruins are currently the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, but there still seems to be some issues with them.
Mike Felger and Tony Amonte discuss on CSNNE's Cross Check, but the two have different approached for the remainder of the season.
"They need to get better as a team, so if that means playing everybody right up to that last game, I think they've got to do it," Amonte said.
Felger disagrees. "Shut them down. It's time to start shutting everybody down," he said.
The Bruins have had trouble with the Penguins and Canadiens this season, so being the No. 2 seed would prevent them from playing Pittsburgh until the Conference Finals, if they got there.
Amonte was asked about the B's Cup hopes.
"I'm worried right now," he said. "The two things that worry me right now are Montreal and Pittsburgh when you speak of the Boston Bruins. They've had hard times with these two teams. The longer they can avoid them, and hopefully one of two of them will be knocked out, the Bruins will have a better shot. All in all, they're not the team they were a couple years ago."

The car-hailing service says a US-based company cannot be sued in a "dispute involving an alleged wrong committed by one Indian citizen against another Indian citizen, in India."
The ride-sharing service faces a new round of allegations, and now has been blacklisted by the Delhi government, which says Uber was misleading customers.
Local police say they will take legal action against the on-demand ride service over alleged driver and vehicle violations.
Undercover Colors nail polish changes color when in contact with Rohypnol, Xanax and GHB so you know when to drink or dump a beverage.
For decades, the Internet has been like the Wild West, with anonymous users creating racist or hate-filled posts. Now the world's largest social networks are doing something about it.
The service is rolling out to customers in India's Hyderabad, and will allow them to make payments with cash, rather than a card.
After allegedly being raped by her Uber driver in Delhi, an Indian woman sues the US-based ride-hailing service on its home turf. She's asking Uber to "overhaul" its safety measures around the world.
Social network says previous policy on violent threats was "unduly narrow." Also, it will suspend accounts or force users to delete tweets if they engage in abusive behavior.
After a passenger was allegedly raped by her Uber driver, the Texas city threatens to shut down the ride-hailing service. Uber says it will comply with the city's rules.

People had to alight either at Guntur or at Hanuman Junction and look for alternative modes of transport
Private buses continued to be stopped from entering Vijayawada city following an announcement by the private bus operators that they would not run their services for 48 hours ending midnight, -- intervening night of Saturday-Sunday.
People had to get down either at Guntur or at Hanuman Junction and look for alternative modes of transport changing autorickshaws and van at two or three places to reach their homes.
Meanwhile, the APNGOs continued their agitation on Saturday with the Visually challenged continuing their agitation by participating in the week-long fast. The Visakhapatnam Municipal Employees continued their agitation supporting the initiative taken up by the APNGOs.
The Municipal employees continued to boycott work for the 33rd day with the sanitation affected at several places in the city. School Assistant K. Rajasekhar sung nine verses written by him supporting a united Andhra Pradesh at the agitation venue. The relay fast continued at the venue where the JAC leader D. Eswar announced that depending on the High Court decision on a petition, the agitation would be intensified.
The Visually-Challenged employees of the State Government raised slogans and the JAC leader G. Ravindrababu told mediapersons that employees from Rayalaseema region also had come down to Vijayawada. Students from several colleges and schools held rallies at several junctions in the city.
All private hospitals and clinics will remain closed in the 13 Seemandhra districts on September 17 as part of intensifying the agitation, announced the Indian Medical Association JAC president P.V. Ramana Murthy here on Saturday. Only emergencies would be attended to, while rallies would be taken out by doctors and relay fast re-launched. It has also requested the cable operators to black out all national channels and other news channels that were not highlighting the Samaikyanadhra agitation. The local operators had blocked some of the English and Hindi channels for this reason.

James Franco to Publish Debut Poetry Collection with Graywolf Press
Acclaimed actor and author James Franco is set to officially publish his first works of poetry, "Directing Herbert White" with Graywolf press. The collection is set for an April 2014 release.
Franco, who holds two MFAs, one in creative writing from Brooklyn College and one in poetry from Warren Wilson College, seems to be focusing primarily on the Los Angeles region in his first collection. He recently told MTV News that he had been thinking of "the idea of L.A. as a place where people's dreams can come true, but also L.A. as a place that eats its young."
Jeffrey Shotts, who serves as the poetry editor for Graywolf, said that Franco's works are, "a series of portraits of American successes and failures from within Hollywood. ... But they are also smart and highly aware notes of caution of what can happen when the filmed self becomes fixed and duplicated, while the ongoing self must continue living and watching."
Franco is currently directing "As I Lay Dying". The Academy Award-nominated actor appeared on stage last year in Three Performances in Search of Tennessee. He is best known for his work in film, starring in hit movies such as MILK, HOWL, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, and 127 HOURS.

Work the Shell - Spreading Out Numbers
The past few months, we've been writing a movie trivia game with the intent of having it be a Twitter client and sporadically spit out questions on its Twitter feed of the form "The film Sunset Blvd. was released in 1943, 1946, or 1950?"
What initially seemed like the most difficult task, finding the list of films and then extracting release dates, turned out to be a manageable one through the expedient of utilizing the terrific Internet Movie Database site (imdb.com) and pushing the data through some filters and transformations.
The end result is that with a simple invocation of a script, we can generate a data file called top-250-films-with-release-dates.db that looks like this: "Sunset Blvd. | 1950" (and now you know the answer to the question in paragraph one).
Last column left off with the puzzle of generating good "adjacent" release years. That is, if we're talking about a movie like Prince Caspian, released in 2008, we want the adjacent values to be quite close—maybe 2005 and 2007. If we're talking about Rear Window, released back in 1954, we want the adjacent values to be spread out more, because offering up 1951, 1954 and 1955 is going to be more annoying and nit-picking than 1940, 1950 and 1954 or similar. See what I mean?
What we could do is simply subtract the release year from the current year, then apply some sort of multiple to tweak the delta. Then, Prince Caspian would have an "adjacency" of zero, and Rear Window would have one of 54. Let's consider dividing the value by five and using the ceiling value to see what the calculation for a half-dozen movies produces (Table 1).
Table 1. Calculating Adjacency for the Movie Trivia Game
|Release Date
|Der Untergang
|Sin City
|Some Like It Hot
That's not bad. Sin City could have incorrect year values within one year of the actual release, while Metropolis could be off by as much as 17 without most people realizing. I mean, if I asked you right now, "Did Fritz Lang's masterwork Metropolis come out in 1927, 1931 or 1947?", would you know the answer?
This leads to an important realization: we can't have the values perfectly spaced out, so the Factor above is the upper range of a 1..Factor choice. So, the amusing Some Like It Hot can have incorrect guesses that are anywhere from one year to nine years off.
Okay, enough discussion. How do we implement this in code?
Well, we have the release date of the movie in releasedate, and we have the current year in thisyear, so here's a simple test script:
thisyear="$(date +%Y)" releasedate="$1" adjacency="$(( $thisyear - $releasedate ))" if [ $adjacency -lt 5 ] ; then factor="1" else factor="$(( $adjacency / 5 + 1 ))" fi echo "For release $releasedate we have factor = $factor"
This demonstrates an important facet of shell scripting: sometimes thinking through the solution is more time consuming than actually coding your resultant algorithm. I could share an anecdote about my boss telling me to "stop thinking and start coding" in one of my earlier jobs, but I'll skip it. Just keep in mind that thinking through solution paths is a critical step in any job.
Now that we have a way to calculate our adjacency factor for a given movie release year, let's take the next step and actually calculate possible values:
delta="$(( $RANDOM % $factor + 1))" add="$(( $RANDOM % 2 ))" if [ $add -eq 1 ] ; then closeyear="$(( $releasedate + $delta ))" else closeyear="$(( $releasedate - $delta ))" fi
That isn't too bad as a first step.
There are two problems I see with this algorithm as is, however. First, we can end up with release years in the future (that is, Iron Man could end up with a release year of 2009, which is wrong). Second, for movies released in the last five years, we also could end up with the actual release year always sandwiched in the middle once we de-dupe the results. (I hope you can see why that's the case.)
To fix the first problem, we need to add a test to ensure that the closeyear is never greater than thisyear, which is straightforward. For the second problem, I think that having a minimum delta of two, rather than one, gives us a bit more wiggle space, though any movie released in the current year is basically a gimme anyway for people who are paying even minimal attention.
Here's how I implemented these tweaks:
if [ $adjacency -lt 5 ] ; then factor="2" else factor="$(( $adjacency / 5 + 1 ))" fi
And, a bit later in the code:
if [ $closeyear -gt $thisyear ] ; then closeyear="$(( $releasedate - $delta ))" fi
That seems to work pretty well. Now when we give the script a few different release years, here's what we see:
Release Year First Five Generated Results 1962 1970, 1967, 1958, 1960, 1971 1994 1996, 1996, 1995, 1993, 1993 2002 2004, 2001, 2000, 2001, 2003 1927 1915, 1925, 1937, 1936, 1911 2008 2006, 2007, 2007, 2006, 2007
I think we can live with this—not bad at all, actually.
Now we have all the building blocks, and next month, we'll put them all together and create the movie trivia game. With luck, we'll have space to start pushing it out on Twitter too. In the meantime, if you want to sign up on Twitter for the game and watch as I develop it, follow FilmBuzz.

Hull City boss Steve Bruce believes Newcastle United may have no option but to fire Alan Pardew.
Pardew was sent off during Newcastle's win yesterday for headbutting Hull midfielder David Meyler.
Newcastle reserve team manager Willie Donachie left the club last month after allegedly striking a player and Bruce said: "Donachie lost his job three weeks ago. I've seen it before in dressing rooms and I've seen it with your own players, but never from an opposition manager.
"It's for Alan to deal with the consequences. I'm sure he regrets it."

Acclaimed journalist Luke Harding's The Snowden Files is more a remarkable piece of journalism than just an organisation's autobiographical account. Much like his earlier books, including Wikileaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy, which borders a similar bailiwick, this one too is an attempt at documenting historical milestones in international journalism, more specifically those created by the UK-based news organisation The Guardian.
The book narrates real-life accounts of news publishers attempting to "break" the Snowden story, a story that eventually captured the attention of the whole world, and, if only for a moment, changed the way of international diplomacy. The true-to-life tale follows journalist Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras and a team of veteran The Guardian journalists as they pick up a lead on an epic story that could change the face of the international diplomatic order. They pursue Edward Snowden, across continents, as he helps them uncover the underhand attempts of some of the world's most powerful at controlling the ever growing influence of the Internet and technology. Their ordeal, dealing with the governments and organisations, is almost surreal, and sometimes you almost forget that you're reading a record of an event and not a sci-fi noir.It is a brilliant documentation of an ongoing story and continues to wield the power to make and break governments.
It must be noted that while writing Wikileaks in 2011, Harding frequently referred to Julian Assange's Cablegate as the single most important piece of journalism since the Pentagon papers in the 1970s. He now refers to the Snowden leak as the most important since the Assange story. That just goes to show how quickly technology got imbibed in contemporary journalism to produce more noteworthy content.
So, while three decades ago, a journalistic milestone such as this would have been considered a once-in-a-lifetime event, it now takes less than three years to repeat the feat. The book records the otherwise rare phenomenon in corporate journalism of how some of the world's largest media houses collaborated with each other, once again after the Wikileaks story, to bring out a story with global repercussions.
The book, as its name suggests, profiles the young information vigilante in every detail. At the same time, it has no illusions of heroic grandeur about a man who sacrificed his future to stand up for his beliefs.
The otherwise shy Snowden has been fleshed out for the readers to judge, not simply by his actions, but also his beliefs. He is a man with extreme libertarian views, ingrained patriotism (bordering nationalism), and a highly astute mind. Snowden's political views are set farther of the far right, and I cannot promise that after having read Harding's profile, you will continue to admire him. But it definitely helps give more context to the actions of a man who, unlike his predecessor, was anything but a tech hippie.
What stands out best in this narrative is the emphasis on the central idea of any democratic society — mutual respect for dignity and privacy, both of which were blatantly violated by governments elected to protect these very values. It reveals how the doings of a group of people can extend beyond national leaders, government officials and diplomats, and go as far as to throw every citizen living in contemporary western democracy into the fray of international politics.
The story is told in a crisp, precise yet detailed narrative. The book is a fast read if you enjoy real life political drama and have been following the Snowden story in the news. And even if you haven't, the writer is generous with providing history and context to a remarkable tale.

In August, the U.S. Postal Service plans to stop delivering mail on Saturdays. The move is expected to save the cash-strapped agency $2 billion a year. Bloomberg
"We need a fundamentally new postal model where USPS concentrates on its true competitive advantage—last-mile mail delivery—and opens up all other parts of the system to true and fair competition," said Rob Atkinson, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation.
What do you think? Will the end of Saturday mail delivery affect your business? What other changes should the Postal Service take to get its finances in order?

Population movement can sustain STI prevalence in remote Australian indigenous communities

BMC Infectious Diseases 2013, 13:188 doi:10.1186/1471-2334-13-188Published: 25 April 2013
For almost two decades, chlamydia and gonorrhoea diagnosis rates in remote Indigenous communities have been up to 30 times higher than for non-Indigenous Australians. The high levels of population movement known to occur between remote communities may contribute to these high rates.
We developed an individual-based computer simulation model to study the relationship between population movement and the persistence of gonorrhoea and chlamydia transmission within hypothetical remote communities.
Results from our model suggest that short-term population movement can facilitate gonorrhoea and chlamydia persistence in small populations. By fixing the number of short-term travellers in accordance with census data, we found that these STIs can persist if at least 20% of individuals in the population seek additional partners while away from home and if the time away from home is less than 21 days. Periodic variations in travel patterns can contribute to increased sustainable levels of infection. Expanding existing STI testing and treatment programs to cater for short-term travellers is shown to be ineffective due to their short duration of stay. Testing and treatment strategies tailored to movement patterns, such as encouraging travellers to seek testing and treatment upon return from travel, will likely be more effective.
High population mobility is likely to contribute to the high levels of STIs observed in remote Indigenous communities of Australia. More detailed data on mobility patterns and sexual behaviour of travellers will be invaluable for designing and assessing STI control programs in highly mobile communities.

Twitter buys mobile advertising startup
SAN FRANCISCO – Twitter is moving deeper into mobile advertising with the purchase of MoPub, a startup focusing on mobile ad exchanges.
The acquisition announced late Monday was estimated to be worth some $350 million, according to the technology news site TechCrunch.
"MoPub's technology lets mobile application publishers manage their inventory and optimize multiple sources of advertising — direct ads, house ads, ad network, and real-time bidding through the MoPub Marketplace," Twitter's Kevin Weil said in a blog post.
"The two major trends in the ad world right now are the rapid consumer shift toward mobile usage, and the industry shift to programmatic buying. Twitter sits at the intersection of these, and we think by bringing MoPub's technology and team to Twitter, we can further drive these trends for the benefit of consumers, advertisers, and agencies."
Weil said Twitter also plans to use MoPub's technology "to build real-time bidding into the Twitter ads platform so our advertisers can more easily automate and scale their buys."
Twitter earlier this year began to allow ads to be targeted at users based on the words written in tweets.
The fast-growing social network is expected to earn $582.8 million globally in ad revenue this year and nearly $1 billion next year, according to industry tracker eMarketer. It remains privately held, but a number of reports indicate the company may launch an initial public offering.

I called, He explained process (crap) wanted to give me back less that the 152 I had lost. Made as if he was going to do me a one time favor. Nicely explained that all my points were from jan and this kinda sucked. Changed his tune told me that maybe it was a system error and would give me 250 for the inconvenience.Hope this helps someone.

Do points expire?
and you will find this info (right on their own site):
At the beginning of every calendar year, the points in your account (except Premier Silver members and Reward Zone Gamers Club Unlocked members) will be issued as reward certificates down to the $5 level, and any remaining points will be forfeited.
You will begin getting points for the new calendar year on January 1. For example, if you have 300 points, you will receive a $5 reward certificate (250 points) and you will forfeit 50 points.
Last edited by Innovativemom; 02-08-2013 at 10:28 AM.. Reason: made Jan. 1 red
I called to check on the missing points and the person I spoke with at first had a hard time with the problem since the poll points aren't purchases and there isn't an easy tally of points being kept. I walked them through it and stated I honestly didn't know how many points I was missing because I don't know how many were left after my last certificate. She ended up rounding out my number and giving me an extra 250. She then brought up the 2/23 thing I see in the thread and we both decided maybe the points are missing due to that.
I called in to get an explanation for why some of my points expired, but still don't get how the point expiration works. Rep was saying that the expired points were for purchases made in 2012 and that these points take about 30 days to post to my balance. But I've redeemed for reward certificates numerous times in the past month. In fact, I just redeemed for a $5 one a couple days ago. I would have thought that when redeeming for the certificates, it would have first used whatever points were earned in 2012 before using the points earned from the facebook polls. Rep was saying that when I redeemed for the certificates, the points from my 2012 purchases did not post to my balance yet. I don't think this is correct, but I could not convince the rep anyways. The rep did not offer me any compensation points either.
Also, I was asking about my current point balance seeming to be incorrect with less points that I expect (regardless of the expired points), and the rep was saying that the facebook poll points take a couple days to post to the balance, which I think is incorrect information too.
On FB, I see Jesse from BB replying to numerous points issues raised by others with this standard reply:
We currently have our support teams working on these points issues and hopefully will have this resolved soon! Thank you for your patience while we get this sorted out.

I didn't get too crafty for my sweetheart's 1st b-day. I made a b-day sign but it was straight from Martha Stewart, so I didn't even take a pic to share it. Each letter of Happy Birthday was cut out from a circle of colored paper. I think it looked cute.
It was crazy getting ready with my baby and not much help. I did bake a carrot cake but wasn't too great on the decorating. I hope the pics show his cakes getting better and better through the years.
Next party, a summer luau for work! Yay.

PGP decryption succeeded but had drive not accessible
I have a Windows 7 Lenovo Laptop with a 160GB SATA hard drive. I was mandated to encrypt my hard drive with PGP 10.2.1. About 61% into the encryption the encryption stopped. I looked at the logs and it said I have a bad sector and could not continue with encryption. I tried to start PGG and decrypt but I could not. I downloaded the recovery CD 10.2.1 and booted from the CD. I selected to decrypt the hard drive and after about 16 hours it stated it was successful. I went to boot and windows will not come up. No big deal as I only need some data off of the hard drive. The issue all the folders are not accessible. I hooked up the drive through another Windows 7 laptop and can see the drive and the folders. Unfortunately all the folders are not accessible. Is there anyway to recover this drive to get some of the files off of it? Any assistance would be appreciated.

I'd suggest trying to fix the bad sector problem. Window's disk scan will sometimes be able to do this, but sometime better software, such as SprinRite is needed.

I wouldn't bet on it making a difference either. However, it is not unusual for disk completion to stop due to finding a bad sector that needs to be corrected before encryption can continue. One would then typically do a disk scan to correct this problem, and let the encryption then continue. I'm just thinking that since decryption instead was done in this case, that your problem may now be related to the bad sector.
When you consider your issue resolved, please click Mark As Solution on the most helpful response.
If the drive decryption did complete succesfully from the Recovery CD. You could use a third party file recovery utility. There are various freeware ones you can find on the internet (Recuva, File Scavenger, Testdisk, photorec). If you take it into a data recovery place they will typically charge around $500 or more but if the data is that important to you they can assist with helping you recover it.
I suspect also that there could be more than one bad sector on the disk drive and this has caused corruption of the filesystem.
A utility such as sprinrite is great in these types of situations to try and find the bad sectors and repair corruption on the disk (if its possible).

Not Sure About This One
By G
from Ottawa area
I bought it to wear everyday - it is nice and it shines beautifully. I went up a size as suggested by other reviewers for other Amangora wide-band rings and I am glad I did. The fit seems a bit off somehow - the two rims (edges) sort of stick up in the air - I think it will be fine with the humidity of summer when the fingers swell a bit. It is comfortable - but, not as sturdy as I had expected. I still have to decide on this - may send it back.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Style Manager And Builder Style Manager
Posted 15 January 2013 - 12:28 PM
I feel I have been toying with the idea of buying the builder foundation pack long enough already
However when I checked the buy page I saw that the foundation pack contained the "style manager" plugin whilst the developer and all access pack contain the "builder style manager". Are these both the same plugin? Did some-one take a short cut in typing to create confusion and give us an excuse to put off buying for another few days whilst asking questions?
I have previously purchased the webdesign tutorial package as well as backup up buddy plugin but never quite took the plunge to go for teh complete new framework (I have full membership of another framework which includes lifetime access to all their child themes and have spent three years learning how to adapt their themes to fit my needs but Benjamin's tutorials are taking me closer to trying a switch.
Posted 15 January 2013 - 12:31 PM
Glad to hear of your interest in Builder. And I apologize for any unintentional confusion, but those are the same plugin.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

Two games in, what do we know about Chargers?
After two games, we know as much about the Sphinx as we do the Chargers, which means our knowledge can be wrapped around a molecule. We do understand that mysterious, mythical statue doesn't grant many interviews — which makes A.J. Smith, the football team's general manager, its equal.
Oh, and in the ancient Greek, Sphinx means "to strangle." In this regard, it would apply to the Chargers in January, although some symptoms of self-inflicted asphyxiation have been known to arise as the autumnal equinox ties its noose.
But seriously, folks, just what do we know about our little NFL club that we didn't know before Sept. 13? Not much. It's 1-1, having played two bad teams, losing to Kansas City in terrible conditions in which the Chiefs also had to play (they don't practice in bad weather) and beating the Jacksonville 22 Stooges.
In this league, which isn't very good, the Chargers just might be exceptional. Then again, maybe not. It could be we have to put them down a while because they're not yet drinkable. Too soon to tell about this vintage?
"We know the sky's the limit," bewitched tight end Antonio Gates was saying. "There are really only a handful of teams with the talent and a chance, and we feel we're one of those. If we can correct our mistakes, it's going to be very difficult to defeat a good San Diego Chargers team."
Gates could have said that four years ago. He said it Monday.
Anyway, we'd like to think their defense is better. It's been more creative, appears to be more physical, the secondary is making plays and there has been but one major gaffe, allowing Jamaal Charles to mosey 56 yards in Kansas City. It also must improve on third-and-long situations, a problem in recent years and even against Jacksonville.
We have to look at the quarterbacks they've gone up against and the quarterbacks they're going to be meeting in the future. The Chiefs' Matt Cassel and Jaguars' David Garrard simply aren't good. You can say that, when the Chargers see Matt Hasselbeck on Sunday in Seattle, he not only will be the best quarterback they've faced, but the best until they play Tom Brady and the Patriots on Oct. 24.
And Hasselbeck, although once a Super Bowl quarterback, is not Joe Montana or any other QB named after a state. After the Seahawks come the Cardinals, Raiders and Rams. Time to make hay, throw it on the wagon and enjoy the ride, because later in the commute, Brady, Matt Schaub, Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer await with pitchforks.
We believe we've seen young players get better, which is how it's supposed to be. Cornerback Antoine Cason, linebacker Brandon Siler, nose tackle Antonio Garay, left tackle Brandyn Dombrowski, receiver Legedu Naanee and running back Mike Tolbert all were singled out Monday by head coach Norv Turner. They're young and improving.
Do you realize seven regulars — Gates, Dombrowski, guard Kris Dielman, receiver Malcom Floyd, defensive end Jacques Cesaire, linebacker Stephen Cooper and safety Steve Gregory — were undrafted free agents? Tolbert wasn't drafted, either.

After biding his time as a backup to J.S. Giguere in Anaheim, the 31-year-old Gerber finally got his wish when Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford decided to take a chance on him in a June 2004 trade that sent Tomas Malec and a third-round pick to the Ducks. "It was always a dream for me to be a starter somewhere," Gerber said yesterday. "It didn't happen in Anaheim. I was lucky to be traded here. They offered me that chance and I'm really thankful for that."

DALLAS Newly-signed Dallas Cowboys player Henry Melton is suing the owner of a Grapevine bar and several others over a physical confrontation that resulted in Melton's arrest during the Christmas holidays last year.
Melton, a defensive tackle who stands about 6'-3 and weighs about 300 pounds, contends in his countersuit that he was the victim of the attack; that a racial epithet was used; and that a representative of the bar s owner tried to extort money from him. The legal action was filed Tuesday.
This case is nothing short of a shakedown and desire for a golden meal ticket, Melton s lawsuit contends.
The player s lawsuit seeks damages that include past and future lost wages and past and future loss of earning capacity. He names the bar s owner, Donald Payne; Payne s brother, Robert; the bartender, Christopher Kummer; a bouncer and an off-duty police officer hired to help with security that night as defendants.
The suit filed by Melton is frivolous and a work of fiction, said Darren Wolf, an attorney representing Payne. It s an attempt to distract from what happened and an attempt for him to avoid responsibility for his actions. The Grapevine police came out and investigated this matter, and they didn t have a dog in the fight, and they arrested Henry Melton.
Melton, 27, currently faces a charge of Class A misdemeanor assault, punishable by up to a year in jail, in connection with the brawl. His next court date is April 24. At the time of the incident, Melton was a defensive tackle for the Chicago Bears.
Last week, Melton and the Dallas Cowboys agreed to one-year contract. Melton could make as much as $5 million this year under the terms of the deal.
In late January, Payne filed suit against Melton, alleging pain and mental anguish. He sought damages of more than a $1 million. Earlier this month, News 8 broke the story about Payne s lawsuit and obtained exclusive surveillance video of the melee. The video shows the bartender telling a customer to leave and pointing to the door several times. It clearly shows at least one punch being thrown. It s unclear who threw it.
The dueling lawsuits paint a dramatically different picture of the events that occurred before and during the early morning confrontation at the Chill Sports Bar and Grill on South Main Street in Grapevine on December 22, 2013.
Melton s lawsuit says he traveled from Chicago to his hometown to spend time with family during the holidays while recovering from knee surgery. The one-time Grapevine High School standout says he came into the restaurant with friends.
He contends the confrontation began when Kummer, the bartender, indicated that he was not tipping enough. Melton s lawsuit says that he told Kummer that he would provide an additional tip at the end of the night. He describes Kummer as becoming agitated, yelling at him, waving his arms and demanding he leave.
In Donald Payne s lawsuit, he contends that Melton was asked to leave after he repeatedly told the bartenders serving him that he was a millionaire and the bartenders were nothing but poor white trash. Donald Payne says he approached Melton and told that him it was time to go and that Melton responded by punching him.
The lawsuit says that he, Kummer, a doorman and the off duty police officer working security physically removed the violent and aggressive Melton from the premises.
Donald Payne, the owner and manager, said Melton lifted him off the ground and bit him in the side, drawing blood.
Melton s vicious and unprovoked attack on Payne caused Payne serious bodily injury that required medical attention and treatment, the lawsuit states.
Melton s lawsuit describes Donald Payne, Kummer and the others as the aggressors.
In Melton s account, Payne and two other men grabbed him from behind and spun him around. He claims Donald Payne put him in a headlock while the others restrained him. The lawsuit says Kummer jumped over the bar, onto his back and began beating him.
Kummer, a self-labeled bar brawler who has been in countless bar brawls, attacked Melton while his back was turned and threw punches that landed on Melton s back and side, Melton's lawsuit states.
The lawsuit contends that because of Melton s recent knee surgery, he didn t have the stability to fight off the attackers who were draped on his back, side and head, it states.
Melton's suit says the men dragged him outside and continued to kick, hit and choke him.
As Melton was being struck, he said, I can t breathe. I can t breathe, the lawsuit states. One of the attackers viciously commented, well, you re talking [racial epithet].
Melton contends that the surveillance video backs up his account that he did not hit any of the men. He claims that he has been defamed and that it has significantly harmed his earning capacity, wages and reputation. He also accuses the bar of negligence in its hiring and training practices
The lawsuit names Donald Payne s brother, Robert, who was not present during the physical confrontation, over comments that he posted on a story about Melton on ESPN.com.
He took a right hook to the face and a vicious bite, Robert Payne wrote.
Another commenter responded: Don't worry, you and your brother will abuse the flawed legal system and get a fat settlement check. Didn't mean to harsh your mellow.
What is the legal system for? Robert Payne responded.
The lawsuit cites that comment as evidence of a plot to defame Melton and hope, plead and beg for a big payday.
In the lawsuit, Melton accuses a representative of Donald Payne s of contacting his agent, Jordan Woy, and telling him that he could make the matter go away if Melton paid $150,000.
The lawsuit says that Donald Payne filed his lawsuit after Melton refused.

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Top-ranked Southern Cal is a 25-point favorite over Oregon State tomorrow night, but they have had some long football Saturdays themselves recently at Reser Stadium.
Oregon State has beaten them two out of the last three games there including s huge 33-31 upset in 2006, breaking the Trojans' 38-game regular season winning streak. Oregon State also won at home in 2000.
Undefeated USC beat Virginia 52-7 and Number 14 Ohio State 35-to-3 this year.
Oregon State lost at Stanford and at No. 12 Penn State before beating Hawaii 45-7 on September 13, its home opener.
By some thinking the PAC-10 is not at its best this year. Pac-10 schools are winless in five games against Mountain West Conference schools and are 12-12 in nonconference games.

PFT Live: Jones pushing Garrett out of Dallas?
DeMaurice Smith suggests Ray Rice is being blackballed
NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith thinks it doesn't speak well for the NFL that no team is willing to give Ray Rice another chance.
Smith told Sal Paolantonio of ESPN that Rice, who is not suspended and is eligible to play as soon as a team signs him, would be back in the NFL if teams were willing to give him a fair chance.
"This, unfortunately, is a league that has a history of blackballing players. I find it hard to believe that a player of Mr. Rice's caliber hasn't at least gotten one offer from a team to come work out," Smith said.
The term "blackballing" suggests something underhanded, but the reality is that NFL teams aren't hiding the fact that they simply don't want to do business with the man who last year became the poster boy for domestic violence in America. That's the prerogative of each team, and while the union is free to advocate on Rice's behalf, there's not much the union can do about it.
If all 32 NFL teams have decided that they're never going to give Rice another chance, then Rice has only himself to blame for that.
Dez Bryant does the smart thing by showing up
It's become a given that a player saddled with the franchise tag won't show up for any workouts or practices until he signs a long-term deal or accepts his one-year franchise tender. But it may not be the smart thing to do — especially if the tagged player plans to work out on his own.
As Broncos G.M. John Elway pointed out several weeks back when venting regarding the absence of receiver Demaryius Thomas, unsigned franchise players who get injured while working out on their own get nothing. Unsigned franchise players who show up pursuant to a letter agreement that guarantees their franchise tender if they tear an ACL or pop out an Achilles who get injured get full pay.
So unless staying away was going to squeeze more money out of the team's coffers (it wasn't), why not continue to get ready to have a big season while working out with the team? For Bryant, the best play would be to take the $12.8 million this year, do it again next year at a 20-percent raise ($15.36 million), and then hit the market in 2017 — because there's no way the Cowboys would pay him $22.11 million under a third franchise tag.
More franchise-tagged players need to consider the wisdom of Bryant's move. And more will do what Bryant did the minute that one of them suffers a serious injury while unsigned and while working out at the local YMCA.
Adrian Peterson's rant misses the mark
Mt. Peterson finally erupted. And it went about as well as Peter Brady's volcano. (Timely reference, I know.)
Arguably he last man who should be painting himself as a victim but who nevertheless tried to shift blame to the Vikings for a predicament created by his own behavior has gone to Twitter for a general rant regarding the system of paying players.
"Question for the people, is a contract two sided or one?" Adrian Peterson asked. "There's never no talk about honoring a contract!"
But NFL contracts are indeed one-sided, unless they're individually negotiated to be two-sided. If Peterson wanted in 2011 to ensure that his contract would be two-sided through its final year of 2017, he could have — by insisting on the contract being fully guaranteed for its full duration. When NFL contracts aren't fully guaranteed, the team can insist on the player honoring every game of every season while in turn having the power to tear up the deal whenever the team wants.
That's just the way it is, and that system was reiterated via the Collective Bargaining Agreement ratified by the players only weeks before Peterson signed his latest deal.
On one hand, it's good that Peterson has dropped the passive-aggressive approach with the Vikings. On the other hand, it's not good that he opted to take a shotgun to a system that won't be changing — especially after that system (as enhanced by the Commissioner-Exempt list) resulted in Peterson making plenty of money last year from the Vikings despite playing in only one game.
But now that Peterson has decided to attack the situation the same way that he attacks a defense, it may be only a matter of time before Peterson is doing shirtless driveway situps and agent Ben Dogra is rattling off "next question" at a press conference held on Peterson's front lawn.
Dez Bryant shows up at Cowboys OTAs, does individual drills
The Cowboys thought Dez Bryant was in "great shape," despite his staying away from voluntary workouts and OTAs.
But Thursday, they saw for themselves.
According to Charean Williams of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the franchise-tagged wide receiver showed up at OTAs Thursday and participated in individual drills.
That's a bit of a surprise, considering he hasn't signed his $12.823 million franchise tender.
But apparently, Bryant wanted to be around the team, and see his teammates. He apparently went through individual drills, but didn't do any team drills. Considering what happened to Ryan Clady and Dante Fowler, it's prudent to not push himself with so much money on the line.
Bryant's not even required to attend mandatory minicamp since he hasn't signed yet, but his showing up today is at least a sign of good faith.
Whether it's a sign of progress toward a long-term deal, or whether Bryant just wanted to get out of the house remains to be seen.
Adrian Peterson: Players need "same power" NFL clubs hold in contracts
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, in the midst of a dispute with Minnesota, used his verified Twitter account Thursday to vent about teams being able to void contracts while players are bound to those same deals.
Here are Peterson's thoughts on the subject, which were published one day after he told ESPN his absence from Minnesota's offseason program was "about securing my future" in Minnesota:
"I love people who think they know it all! Smh, Research how many NFL teams hasn't honored a player's contract & learn something.
"Question for the people, is a contract two sided or one?
"Ok great two sided! Well why when one party decides . . . Mr. ? we wan't you to take a pay cut now or better yet flat out release you!
"There's never no talk about honoring a contract!
"I know hundreds of player's that wished their team would've HONORED the contract! But instead got threw to the side like like trash.
"A lill crazy how one side has so much power that they can do as they please when it come to the contract! But when the other-side (player's) . . . Feels for whatever reason! Family, Change of scenery or simply – what they feels just might work best for them! Those same laws don't apply!
"It's all about honoring you're contract! Sounds like free will is being a lil challenged to me!
"All I'm saying as a Minnesota Viking player! WE need the same power to do as all 32 teams do we they feel, under contract or not!
"It's time for a change! Then again I'm grateful because at the end of the day, I know some of those same guys that wish a team held on!"
Peterson has three years left on his current contract. He is set to make $12.75 million in salary in 2015, $14.75 million in 2016 and $17.75 million in 2017. However, the salaries are not guaranteed.
The Vikings have insisted they will not trade Peterson. On Wednesday, Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said the 30-year-old tailback would play for Minnesota or not at all.
Peterson spent most of last season on the exempt/commissioner's permission list after being charged with felony child abuse. He eventually pleaded no contest to misdemeanor reckless assault.
DeMarco Murray hopes Joseph Randle "can taste some of that meat this year"
Cowboys running back Joseph Randle shared his opinion about how much the Cowboys might miss running back DeMarco Murray this week by saying that he thought Murray "left a lot of meat on the bone" on his way to a league-leading 1,845 rushing yards in 2014.
That comment made its way to Murray on Thursday, but Murray didn't fire back at Randle or try to make the case that he gnawed all the way down to the bone while carrying the ball the seventh-most times in league history last year. Instead, Murray wished Randle well in his opportunity to do a little feasting of his own behind the Cowboys offensive line.
"Hopefully he can taste some of that meat this year," Murray said, via CSNPhilly.com. "They're a good team. Hopefully he can get a chance to run behind that line and do some good things. But I'm not worried about it. I didn't hear about it until now. It's not a big deal."
It's a good response to Randle since Murray has no need to defend himself for his 2014 performance. His chief concern now should be making sure that he wasn't worn down to the bone after being used so heavily last season because the Eagles will need Murray to play well to vault themselves above the Cowboys and the rest of the NFC East in 2015.
Jets release Matt Simms
Former NFL quarterback Chris Simms recently shared his opinion that his younger brother Matt hasn't gotten a serious shot to be a starting quarterback in the NFL because he's the son of Phil Simms and, therefore, a victim of "the politics of the NFL."
Simms got some more fodder for his feeling on Thursday. The Jets announced that they have released Matt Simms from their roster.
The decision isn't a great surprise with the Jets adding Bryce Petty in the fourth round of this year's draft. Geno Smith and Ryan Fitzpatrick are going to hold down the top two spots on the depth chart and Petty will be developed behind them, which doesn't leave many reps for the latest member of the Simms family to play quarterback in the NFL.
Getting released now will give him a chance to catch on with another team in time to make his case for a roster spot in the fall, assuming, of course, that the anti-Simms bias doesn't rear its head once again. Simms played in four games for the Jets over the last two seasons and completed 19-of-39 passes for 195 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
Bills open training camp on July 31
The Bills, who made multiple high-profile moves in the offseason, will commence training camp on Friday, July 31 at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, New York, the club said Thursday.
Seventeen practices are open to the public, with six requiring fans to have tickets.
The Bills' preseason opener is August 14 vs. Carolina. The last practice open to fans is Tuesday, August 25.
In an attempt to jump-start their offense, the Bills acquired tailback LeSean McCoy and signed wide receiver Percy Harvin and tight end Charles Clay. The club also added Matt Cassel at quarterback. The Bills' defense, formidable a season ago, could be all the more imposing with new head coach Rex Ryan at the helm.
Broncos sign Ryan Harris
The Broncos may not be ready to rule Ryan Clady out for the 2015 season, but they didn't wait long to add to their tackle options in the wake of his torn ACL.
Jeff Legwold and Adam Schefter of ESPN report that the team has added veteran Ryan Harris to the roster. It will be Harris's third tour of duty in Denver after he began his career with the team as a third-round pick in 2007 and spent the 2012 offseason and preseason with the team.
Harris also has history with head coach Gary Kubiak and offensive coordinator Rick Dennison after spending the 2012 and 2013 seasons with the Texans when both men were on Houston's staff. He started 15 games for the Chiefs at right tackle last season and has also played on the left side of the line during his time in the NFL.
Harris joins Chris Clark, Ty Sambrailo and Michael Schofield as options at tackle as the Broncos try to sort out their offensive line with Clady out of the picture.
NFL got free use of Grant Park for the draft
So what did it cost the NFL to use Grant Park in Chicago for the 2015 draft? How about nothing?
According to Jared S. Hopkins of the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Park District waived a $937,500 rental fee, along with the security deposit.
Hopkins explains that the Chicago Park District will give discounts to nonprofit and charitable organizations that are using Park District properties. The application for the use of Park District facilities doesn't contemplate a full waiver. Likewise, the NFL didn't request a not-for-profit discount when submitting the application.
(Sure, the league office was a non-profit organization when making arrangements for the 2015 draft, but the NFL is and always has been a for-profit operation.)
In response to the suggestion that the three-letter football league is getting the kind of treatment typically enjoyed by a currently-embattled four-letter fútbol federation, NFL points out that it spent "millions" on the draft, via the placement of tents and exhibits in and around a 900,000-square-foot area they called "Draft Town."
"We also hosted free football clinics for more than 1,500 area schoolchildren in the park," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told the Tribune. "ESPN and NFL Network went live for the week of the draft from sets on site inside the theater and also out in the park. Our hotel needs alone in Chicago were 1,000 rooms for draft week."
Those are fair points, similar to the arguments raised when a city does a bad financial deal to host a Super Bowl. But the reality remains that local governments will continue to do bad financial deals in order to do business with the NFL. As long as local governments will keep competing with each other to do those bad deals, the NFL will continue to get great deals for the Super Bowl, the draft, stadiums, or anything else the league wants.
Kubiak on Ryan Clady's 2015 status: No decisions will be made quickly
The Broncos Offense suffered a serious blow on Wednesday when left tackle Ryan Clady tore his ACL, but coach Gary Kubiak isn't ready to rule Clady out for the season yet.
Kubiak met with the media on Thursday and said that the team wasn't ready to make a decision about whether or not Clady will be able to return at some point in 2015. Even in the best-case scenario they are going to need to replace Clady for a large chunk of the year, however, and the team isn't ready to make any final calls on that front either.
Kubiak said, via Troy Renck of the Denver Post, that the team will move players around to figure out the best mix in front of quarterback Peyton Manning. The coach added that the initial thought is to leave Chris Clark, who replaced Clady after a 2013 foot injury, on the right side and second-round pick Ty Sambrailo on the left side. Sambrailo, who Kubiak said isn't "a rookie anymore," played left tackle at Colorado State.
Michael Schofield is another option at both tackles and the Broncos will likely keep a close eye on players who become available before the start of the regular season. However they line up come September, though, the team will be scrambling to fill a spot they weren't expecting to be an issue during an offseason that's already seen a lot of change in Denver.
Bengals sign Tyler Kroft
The Bengals are down to one unsigned 2015 draft pick with agent Mike McCartney announcing that his client Tyler Kroft has signed a four-year deal with the team.
The tight end was a third-round pick this month and his agreement leaves first-round tackle Cedric Ogbuehi as the only member of the draft class without a deal. He is one of 11 first-round picks still waiting to sign deals with their teams.
Kroft is expected to help fill the role vacated by the still-unsigned free agent Jermaine Gresham during the 2015 season. That should mean a heavy dose of blocking duties alongside Tyler Eifert. Eifert hasn't been fully participating in offseason work after having a torn labrum in his shoulder and dislocated elbow surgically repaired after last season.
"We're just kind of taking it day to day, just easing back into things," Eifert said, via ESPN.com. "My shoulder and elbow are cleared 100 percent, but I'm just getting back into things gradually. I'll be out there soon enough."
The Bengals also took tight end C.J. Uzomah in the fifth round to fill out their depth chart at the position.
Jaguars hire former Jets G.M. John Idzik to full-time position
Maybe now all the people who went to the Tim Tebow rally in Jacksonville can divert their attention to buying airplane banners.
Because the Jaguars have hired a man who created far more of a grassroots effort among his former fanbase.
According to Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union, the Jaguars have hired former Jets General Manager John Idzik to a full-time position with the team.
Idzik was hired by the Jaguars as an consultant prior to free agency. His new title is special assistant to the G.M. (apparently assistant to the traveling secretary was taken).
"He'll do a little bit of everything," Jags G.M. Dave Caldwell said. "He's a great cultural fit for us. He has a great understanding of the salary cap and the different ways to do a contract."
Idzik was fired by the Jets after the 2014 season, but not before he became a lightning rod for fans, complete with planes bearing "Fire John Idzik" banners flying over practices there.
The Jaguars also promoted Chris Polian from director of pro personnel to director of player personnel and Chris Driggers from pro scout to director of pro personnel.
Mike Wallace: Vikings offense "more what I'm accustomed to"
Wide receiver Mike Wallace caught just 12 passes of 20 or more yards over two season with the Dolphins, which wasn't what most people expected after he averaged 11 such plays a season in his four years with the Steelers.
That inability to make plays down the field made for a sour relationship between Wallace and the team at various points during his stay in Miami and it helped make Wallace a Viking earlier this offseason. On Thursday, Wallace said that he's finding things more to his liking in Norv Turner's offense.
"I think it's more so [like] my first four years," Wallace said, via ESPN.com. "It's a vertical offense, [rather] than a short, West Coast offense. You go down the field a lot more here, more what I'm accustomed to."
Wallace and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater have been spending extra time together at practice to sharpen their chemistry, something that never developed with Ryan Tannehill the way the Dolphins hoped it would. All of that paints a promising picture for Wallace in 2015, but we'll have to wait until the fall to see if it is any more grounded in reality than the optimism that accompanied Wallace to Miami in the first place.
Ryan Clady suffers torn ACL
One of the NFL's top left tackles has suffered an injury likely to end his 2015 season.
Denver's Ryan Clady sustained a torn left ACL in Wednesday's organized team practice activities, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday. PFT's Mike Florio has confirmed the injury to Clady, a four-time Pro Bowler who protects Peyton Manning's blind side.
The Broncos have since announced Clady's injury and have said it is likely to keep him off the field in 2015.
With the 28-year-old Clady out indefinitely, the Broncos will have to adjust at a vital position. Veteran right tackle Chris Clark could be an option on the left side; he filled in for Clady in 2013 when Clady missed most of the campaign with a foot injury.
Rookie Ty Sambrailo and second-year pro Michael Schofield are other potential replacements for Clady, whose loss is a tremendous blow to a Denver club that lost tight end Julius Thomas, offensive lineman Orlando Franklin, defensive tackle Terrance Knighton and safety Rahim Moore in free agency.
Clady suffered a patellar tendon tear in his left knee in 2010, but he played the preseason finale and all 16 regular season contests that year.

STMicroelectronics Introduces a New Family of Single- and Two-Axis MEMS Gyroscopes
MEMS market leader applies field-proven performance and reliability to gyroscopes for enhanced user interfaces, gaming, GPS navigation, and camera-image stabilization
ST's complete family of single-axis (yaw) and two-axis (pitch-and-roll, pitch-and-yaw) MEMS gyroscopes offers the industry's widest full-scale range, from 30 to 6,000 dps (degrees per second). The innovatively designed sensors can provide two separate outputs for each axis at the same time – an unamplified output value for general detection of angular motion and a 4x amplification for high-resolution measurements that enhances design flexibility and the user experience.
ST's new gyroscopes boast excellent stability over a wide temperature range and time, with variation typically lower than 0.05dps/degrees C for zero-rate level, eliminating the need for further temperature compensation in the application. Measurement precision is ensured with the negligible level of noise that affects the output signal (0.014dps/sqrt(Hz) at 30dps full-scale).
The high-performance MEMS gyroscopes are resistant to mechanical stress thanks to the robust process already successfully applied to the several hundred million ST accelerometers sold in the market and are able to operate with any supply voltage in the range of 2.7 to 3.6 V. The 5×5 mm LGA package, together with the innovative design approach, ensures a high level of integration in space-constrained designs as well as better performance and soldering stability compared with bulkier ceramic packages.
Samples of the complete family of MEMS gyroscopes (yaw, pitch-and-roll, and pitch-and-yaw) with full scales ranging from 30dps to 6000dps are available now and mass production is expected to start in Q3 2009. Examples include LPR503AL, a two-axis pitch-and-roll gyroscope with 30dps and 120dps full scales, and LPY550AL, a two-axis pitch-and-yaw gyroscope with 500dps and 2,000dps full scales.

Notes to Editors:
There are three main types of angular motion: yaw is rotation around the vertical axis; roll is rotation around the front-to-back axis and pitch is the rotation around the side-to-side axis.
Dead reckoning, or assisted satellite navigation, is a feature that enhances a navigation system's ability to estimate its current location without direct contact with the GPS satellites it would normally use. The feature is valuable in situations where the navigation system is unable to receive signals from GPS satellites, such as inside road tunnels or buildings. Dead reckoning is also useful as an energy-saving technique, since the navigation system can estimate small changes in location from a previous position using more power-efficient MEMS technologies while periodically turning off the less efficient GPS circuits.
