Gaza Clash Slows, But Israeli DM Insists Situation 'Not Over'
Israeli Officials Send Mixed Messages on Plans for Further Attacks
After days of tit-for-tat strikes from both sides and talks of an Israeli invasion, the situation in and around the Gaza Strip seems to be calming down quite a bit today, with a tense de facto ceasefire taking hold and both sides seemingly willing to hold their salvos, for now.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, however, insisted the fighting is "certainly not over" and that Israel is simply going to decide "how and when" future attacks against the tiny strip will take place.
Other Israeli officials were sending a lot of mixed signals on the matter, with some talking up escalation and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu making some comments hinting at relative restraint while making threats of even bigger attacks to come.
Egypt has been working to negotiate a ceasefire, and while the calm seems to suit them just fine, the Muslim Brotherhood is also calling for protests against the Israeli attacks, suggesting that the nation's "behind the scenes facilitator" status could be changing, and that every time these fights break out the nation isn't just going to quietly try to broker ceasefire after ceasefire without public comment.

Rancho Palos Verde Ice ChaletRead MoreConveniently frozen inside the Peninsula Mall, Palos Verdes Ice Chalet opens its frosty flatland to recreational skaters, figure skaters, and hockey players of all ages. During daily public-skating sessions, guests slide into a pair of skates before gliding onto the ice, where cool breezes brush past cheeks and offer refreshing reprieve from heat waves and baseball caps made of lit firecrackers. As families, friends, and couples coast across the arctic tundra, the facility's speakers pump out energizing jams to inflate each outing with an extra dose of cheer. Between rounds of public skating, the rink also throws birthday parties, hosts hockey leagues, and holds hockey and figure-skating lessons, some of which are led by coaches with international experience.550 Deep Valley Dr.Rolling Hills Estates, CA US
Anaheim ICERead MoreThe Rinks offers both inline and ice skating for all ages and all skill levels. The Westminster and Yorba Linda centers boast NHL-size rinks, and Anaheim and Lakewood boast Olympic-size rinks. In addition, Anaheim's league-certified surface is used as the official training facility of the Anaheim Ducks. Skaters can take to the ice for classes on such blade-top pursuits as hockey, figure skating, public skating, curling, broomball, and more. For the ice-averse, The Rinks has three inline-skating centers in Corona, Huntington Beach, and Irvine which play host to youth and adult roller hockey leagues, skating clinics, public skates, and more. Open-skate sessions give aficionados the chance to take a few laps with friends and family, riding atop their own blades or donning a rental pair from the front desk. On Friday and Saturday nights, rinks morph into icy dance clubs, blasting hit music booming through the speakers and projecting music videos onto a jumbo screen. Birthday packages are also available at both locations.3975 Pixie Ave.Lakewood, CA US
Toyota Sports CenterRead MoreToyota Sports Center entices skaters of all ages with a trio of glassy rinks smooth enough to be commandeered for official practices by the L.A. Kings. When the pros aren't reigning over the ice, guests can practice axel jumps during skating lessons or show up for public skating sessions to lap the flattened glacier in search of preserved saber-toothed zambonis. Toyota Sports Center also educates aspiring Great Ones with beginners hockey classes, hosts youth and adult leagues, and encourages visitors to bulk up off the ice at the fitness center, which is outfitted with free weights and treadmills for those slowly reconnecting with exercise on solid ground.555 N Nash St.El Segundo, CA US
The RinksRead MoreAt The Rinks, visitors lace up their inline skates and zoom around a smooth hockey-style rink during public skating sessions. Would-be hockey players can also suit up in free gear and inline skates to learn the ins and outs of the game as part of the The Anaheim Ducks Learn to Play program, which allows kids and adults to experience the sport before joining a paid program.5555 McFadden Ave.Huntington Beach, CA US
Fountain Valley Skating CenterRead MoreFountain Valley Skating Center celebrates roller-skating as both a family-friendly recreational activity and a sport. During fun-filled open sessions on the spacious rink, families spin around in rented skates to an upbeat soundtrack. Birthday boys and girls celebrate their special days with music, ice cream, and zooming around the rink with all of their friends. Little ones learn to safely move on their wheels during tiny-tot sessions, and adults mingle over coffee and skate to a delightfully old-timey soundtrack of organ music and auto-tuned Franklin Roosevelt speeches. Fountain Valley Skating Center fosters creative expression and athletic prowess through its figure-skating classes. Led by title-holding champs, the classes cover how to jump, spin, and balance on roller skates. After burning up to 200 calories per hour on the rink, visitors can take a breather and relax with arcade games.9105 Recreation Cir.Fountain Valley, CA US

Affordability may be a big issue for fans of live music
"We're proud to bring live music fans of Southern California the chance to show their community spirit and save them some money at the same time," Rick Mueller, president of Live Nation California, said.
Yet, while most concert promoters believe 2009 will pose more major challenges, conventional logic has rarely meant much in this business, locally, nationally or globally.
How else to explain the fact that, according to Billboard magazine, the international concert business grossed the record sum of almost $4 billion in 2008, a jump of nearly 13 percent from 2007?
Or that advance sales are strong for Britney Spears' upcoming 2009 tour, despite a top price of $544.30 per ticket (which can only be bought in pairs)?
Or that Live Nation in November reported its third-quarter profit had more than tripled to $139.9 million, or that the 58 Live Nation-produced shows on Madonna's 2008 world tour brought in $280 million? (At the same time, the company's stock fell 64 percent over the past 10 months, a drop that forced Live Nation to buy back – at a loss of $19 million – $25 million of its shares from the rock band U2, with which Live Nation signed an exclusive 12-year contract last March.) "Overall, the concert business had a pretty good year in 2008. But everybody's nervous about going forward because the bad news regarding the economy hit after tickets were sold for most of 2008's biggest tours," said Gary Bongiovanni, the publisher of Pollstar, the concert industry's leading weekly publication.
"The concert business used to be considered impervious to recessions, back in the 1980s and '70s, when tickets were much more affordable. In this age of three-figure ticket prices, you can't really say that anymore. When you see people geting laid off by the thousands, those are people who were potential ticket buyers."
Yet, like movies – albeit at a higher cost – concerts seem to have an enduring appeal, in good times and bad.
"Entertainment has traditionally been one area that has fared the best during a recession, because it is a 'feel good' experience," said Richard Bartell, the general partner of Bartell Hotels. His company owns the Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay series, the adjacent Humphrey's restaurant and Half Moon Inn & Suites, and six other area hotels.
"Having had Humphrey's since 1984, we have gone through recessions before and our experience shows that Humphrey's Concerts performs well, whether or not there is a recession," Bartell noted. "That's not to say 2009 won't be a challenging year; there's a definite softness in our business with our hotels and restaurants. But it's absolutely easier to spend money for a concert ticket than a vacation, because it's less expensive.
"Entertainment, whether it's a movie or live music, fulfills a person's desire to escape during a bad economic climate. And the price of feeling good is modest."

Introduction: 2009 promises to be a confounding mix of good and bad in the arts
Local bands: 'You can go out any night of the week and see an amazing act'

Television: Networks, local TV – everyone's braced for a rough ride in '09
Theater and music: Invention, risk-taking to combat a challenging environment
Art: Collegial environment will help smooth out the rough spots

On a conjecture of ridge
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: The conjecture of Ridge on the numerical range of a shift of periodic weights is resolved in the affirmative, i.e., if the weights are nonzero, the numerical range of the corresponding shift is an open disc centered at the origin. The radius of the disc can be expressed as the Perron root of a nonnegative irreducible symmetric matrix. Some related results are obtained.

Video: Discrimination in kissing cop case?
The dash-cam video shows the female officer caressing and kissing the chief while a suspect sleeps in the back
By PoliceOne Staff
MASSILLON, Ohio — More than a year ago, a dash cam captured a female police officer kissing and caressing her then-married police chief while a burglary suspect slept in the back seat of their cruiser.
Officer Janine England, 30, tried to resign after the incident, but was instead fired. Chief Timothy Escola, 57, retired and has since been allowed to collect a pension.
She filed a case with the EEOC and federal officials have since ruled her firing discriminatory, saying she was released because she is a woman. The township of Massillon, Ohio, which controls the police force, could face a six-figure fine if the case is referred to the Department of Justice.
The dash-cam video shows England caressing and kissing Escola while the suspect sleeps in the back. The chief receives her affection openly and reciprocates while he drives.
Escola says he was never threatened with termination and has called the firing of England biased.

The server could easily allow multiple passwords, and you could only allow a single active connection per password, or you could just allow anyone who knows the password to use a throttle that day.

News articles on climate change
Mongabay.com news articles on climate change in blog format. Updated regularly.
Tropics are expanding
(12/03/2007) Climate change has caused a widening of Earth's tropical belt, according to a new study published in a new scientific journal, Nature Geoscience. "Remarkably, the tropics appear to have already expanded -- during only the last few decades of the 20th century -- by at least the same margin as models predict for this century," said the scientists who conducted the research.
Forest carbon may not fully offset fossil carbon, says expert
(12/03/2007) As policymakers meet in Bali, Indonesia to discuss various mechanisms for mitigating greenhouse emissions, a tropical ecologist from Sri Lanka warns that one ton of forest carbon is not equal to one ton of fossil carbon when it comes to using offsets to fight global warming. The implications: considerably larger forest areas (preferably old growth since it has higher carbon values than plantations) would need to be protected and reforested than are presently anticipated by most policymakers.
Largest-ever climate meeting begins in Bali
(12/02/2007) In Bali, Indonesia, more than 10,000 delegates, scientists, journalists, and activists from around the world kicked off the largest-ever climate change conference Monday. Organizers hope that the meeting lays the groundwork for a new international pact to replace the Kyoto Protocol when it expires in 2012.
Could the carbon market save the Amazon rainforest?
(11/29/2007) The global carbon market could play a key role in saving the Amazon from the effects of climate change and economic development, which could otherwise trigger dramatic ecological changes, reports a new paper published in Science. The authors argue that a well-articulated plan, financed by carbon markets, could prevent the worst outcomes for the Amazon forest while generating economic benefits for the region's inhabitants.
Hope in Bali: the December Meetings on Climate Change
(11/28/2007) The fourth, and final, report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) painted the most irrefutable and sobering picture yet of global warming. Two thousand scientists from over one hundred countries agreed to the statement that "warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level". The report also stated that it was more than 90% certain that global warming is due to human activity. This report, released last week, will hopefully set the tone for the two week meeting in Bali, Indonesia on climate change and create the rapid and strong responses that are required.
Greenhouse gas levels rise to new record in 2006
(11/23/2007) Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels hit a new record in 2006 according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the U.N. weather agency.
Asian countries sign symbolic global warming pact
(11/21/2007) Leaders of 16 Asian countries have signed a "vague" pact on climate change according to Reuters.
Past climate change triggered wars, population decline
(11/21/2007) Long-term climate change may lead to wars and population decline according to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The research looked at the cool period known as the Little Ice Age and found that the number of wars increased, famine occurred and the population declined.
Hurricane Katrina released large amounts of carbon by destroying 320m trees
(11/15/2007) The destruction of 320 million large trees by Hurricane Katrina reduced the capacity of forests in the Southern United States to soak up carbon, reports a new study published in the journal Science. The research shows that hurricanes and other natural disturbances "can affect a landscape's potential as a 'carbon sink' because the dead vegetation then decays, returning carbon to the atmosphere, and because the old vegetation is replaced by smaller, younger plants."
New system tracks CO2 emissions of 50,000 power plants worldwide
(11/14/2007) A new online database allows users to track carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of 50,000 power plants worldwide. The system, called CARMA—Carbon Monitoring for Action, was developed by the Center for Global Development (CGD), an policy and research group.
NASA: Arctic Ocean circulation reversal not due to global warming
(11/13/2007) A study published in Geophysical Research Letters shows that weakening of the Arctic Oscillation results from a cyclical process rather than climate change. The results suggest not all the large changes seen in Arctic climate in recent years are a result of long-term trends associated with global warming.
Weathering technology could mitigate global warming
(11/08/2007) Researchers at Harvard University and Pennsylvania State University have invented a technology, inspired by nature, to reduce the accumulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) caused by human emissions.
Subtle threats could ruin the Amazon rainforest
(11/07/2007) While the mention of Amazon destruction usually conjures up images of vast stretches of felled and burned rainforest trees, cattle ranches, and vast soybean farms, some of the biggest threats to the Amazon rainforest are barely perceptible from above. Selective logging -- which opens up the forest canopy and allows winds and sunlight to dry leaf litter on the forest floor -- and 6-inch high "surface" fires are turning parts of the Amazon into a tinderbox, putting the world's largest rainforest at risk of ever-more severe forest fires. At the same time, market-driven hunting is impoverishing some areas of seed dispersers and predators, making it more difficult for forests to recover. Climate change -- an its forecast impacts on the Amazon basin -- further looms large over the horizon.
Carbon-negative bioenergy to cut global warming could drive deforestation
(11/06/2007) A proposed mechanism for generating carbon-negative bioenergy -- an energy source that reduces atmospheric carbon dioxide levels -- could drive large-scale deforestation in the tropics and undermine efforts to conserve forests for carbon offsets says a biofuel expert.
Climate sensitivity to rising CO2 levels still uncertain
(10/25/2007) Climate sensitivity to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases is still largely uncertain and researchers will likely not be able to further refine their estimates on future climate scenarios, say two University of Washington scientists writing in this week's issue of the journal Science.
Kyoto Protocol is fatally flawed; replacement needed
(10/25/2007) The Kyoto Protocol is fatally flawed and show be replaced by a more effective framework, argue researchers writing in this week's issue of Nature.
Mass extinctions happen when temperatures are the warmest
(10/24/2007) Warming temperatures could trigger a mass extinction event, warn scientists writing in the latest issue of Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Comparing ancient records of marine and terrestrial diversity with historical temperature estimates, researchers from the Universities of York and Leeds found a close correlation between Earth climate and extinctions over the past 520 million years: higher extinction rates occur at higher temperatures.
North Atlantic carbon sinks absorbing less CO2
(10/23/2007) The capacity of the North Atlantic ocean to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) has declined significantly since in the mid 1990s, report researchers from the University of East Anglia. The findings raise concerns that oceans may be slowing their uptake of CO2, potentially worsening the climate impact of greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon sinks failing to keep up with emissions
(10/22/2007) Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) growth has increased 35 percent faster than expected since 2000, report scientists writing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Worryingly, more than half the increase came from a decreased efficiency of natural land and ocean sinks to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. The reminder came from a slowing in the efficiency of use of fossil fuels.
Climate change will impact U.S. economy
(10/16/2007) Climate change will have a significant economic impact on the United States, reports a new study published by researchers from the University of Maryland. The report, The U.S. Economic Impacts of Climate Change and the Costs of Inaction, aggregates and analyzes previous economic research in order to develop a better estimate of the costs of climate change.
Al Gore shares Nobel Peace Prize with climate body
(10/12/2007) Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to build awareness about human-induced climate change. Gore and the IPCC, a body of climate scientists, will each receive about $1.5 million.
Bush aides say mankind responsible for global warming
(09/14/2007) Dr. John Marburger, President George W. Bush's chief scientific advisor, said it is more than 90 percent certain that greenhouse gas emissions to blame for rising global temperatures, according to BBC News.
38 key global environmental indicators worsen - report
(09/14/2007) Consumption of energy and many other critical resources is consistently breaking records, disrupting the climate and undermining life on the planet, according to the latest Worldwatch Institute report, Vital Signs 2007-2008.
Climate change drove human evolution
(09/03/2007) Climate change appears to have been a significant driver of human evolution, report researchers writing in this week's issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS).
Indonesia's peatlands may offer U.S. firms global warming offsets
(08/29/2007) The following is modified version of a letter I've used to pitch U.S. companies on the concept of carbon finance in Indonesia's peatlands. Discussions are slow and the critical December U.N. climate meeting is fast approaching, so I'm posting this as a tool to help you get American firms interested in avoided deforestation offsets. Please feel free to use, modify, and distribute this letter widely.
How private equity can profit from carbon offsets in Indonesia
(08/29/2007) The emerging carbon market for avoided deforestation presents unprecedented opportunities for private equity to make profitable investments that also help protect the environment. Indeed, for the first time, conservation may be associated with positive financial returns. Here's a brief look at how private equity and other investors can capitalize on this opportunity to earn attractive returns while fighting climate change, protecting ecosystem services, and safeguarding endangered species like orangutans.
Greenhouse gases made 2006 2nd-warmest year on record for U.S.
(08/28/2007) Greenhouse gases likely accounted for over half of the widespread warmth across the continental United States in 2006, report scientists writing in the September 5th issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Global warming causes increase in tropical rainfall
(08/27/2007) Climate change appears to be resulting in higher levels of rainfall in the tropics, reports NASA.
European blood-sucker falls victim to global warming
(08/26/2007) Europe's only known land leech may be on the brink of extinction due to shifts in climate, report researchers writing in the journal Naturwissenschaften. The findings are significant because they suggest that "human-induced climate change without apparent habitat destruction can lead to the extinction of populations of cold-adapted species that have a low colonization ability," according to the authors.
Iron boosts carbon sequestration by the ocean
(08/23/2007) Wind-blown iron contributes significantly to the biological productivity of the Southern Ocean near Antarctica, researchers report in this week's issue of the journal Science.
Court rebukes Bush Administration on global warming report
(08/22/2007) Tuesday the Bush Administration was ordered to publish an updated research plan and national assessment on climate change. By law the White Hosue is required to publish such a report every four years, yet the current administration has failed to do so since it took office. The last National Assessment was issued in late 2000 under the Clinton administration, but environmental groups say the Bush Administration had tried to surpress its findings and recommendations.
Could peatlands conservation be more profitable than palm oil?
(08/22/2007) This past June, World Bank published a report warning that climate change presents serious risks to Indonesia, including the possibility of losing 2,000 islands as sea levels rise. While this scenario is dire, proposed mechanisms for addressing climate change, notably carbon credits through avoided deforestation, offer a unique opportunity for Indonesia to strengthen its economy while demonstrating worldwide innovative political and environmental leadership. In a July 29th editorial we argued that in some cases, preserving ecosystems for carbon credits could be more valuable than conversion for oil palm plantations, providing higher tax revenue for the Indonesian treasury while at the same time offering attractive economic returns for investors.
Could a hurricane hit California?
(08/20/2007) San Diego has been hit by hurricanes in the past and could be affected by such storms in the future according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). While a hurricane in San Diego would likely produce significantly less damage than Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, it could still exact a high cost to Southern California especially if the region was caught off guard.
NASA admits to error in global warming data
(08/17/2007) NASA has admitted to a data error that skewed temperatures since 2000.
Arctic sea ice shrinks to record low in 2007
(08/15/2007) Arctic sea ice has shrunk to a record low according the Japan Aerospace Exploration agency.
Geoengineering cure for global warming could cause problems
(08/14/2007) Proposed geoengineering schemes to reduce global warming may do more harm than good, warns a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters.
Scientists: Newsweek Erred in Global Warming Coverage
(08/12/2007) A statement from the University of Alabama argues that a recent Newsweek cover story on climate change made two important mistakes.
Climate change claims a snail
(08/12/2007) The Aldabra banded snail (Rachistia aldabrae), a rare and poorly known species found only on Aldabra atoll in the Indian Ocean, has apparently gone extinct due to declining rainfall in its niche habitat. While some may question lamenting the loss of a lowly algae-feeding gastropod on some unheard of chain of tropical islands, its unheralded passing is nevertheless important for the simple reason that Rachistia aldabrae may be a pioneer. As climate change increasingly brings local and regional shifts in precipitation and temperature, other species are expected to follow in its path.
European heat waves double in length since 1880
(08/11/2007) The most accurate measures of European daily temperatures ever indicate that the length of heat waves on the continent has doubled and the frequency of extremely hot days has nearly tripled in the past century. The new data shows that many previous assessments of daily summer temperature change underestimated heat wave events in western Europe by approximately 30 percent.
Controversy over flawed NASA climate data changes little
(08/11/2007) NASA corrected an error on its U.S. air temperature data after a blogger, Steve McIntyre of Climate Audit, discovered a discrepancy for the years 2000-2006. The revised figures show that 1934, not 1998, was America's hottest year on record. The change has little affect on global temperature records and the average temperatures for 2001-2006 (at 0.66 C) is still warmer than 1930-1934 (0.63 C) in the United States.
U.S. government weather agency cuts hurricane outlook
(08/10/2007) The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Thursday reduced its forecast for the number of tropical storms and hurricanes expected during the 2007 Atlantic season. NOAA said it now expected between 13 and 16 named storms, with seven to nine becoming hurricanes and three to five of them classified as "major" hurricanes (categories 3, 4, or 5).
Global warming will slow, then accelerate reports ground-breaking model
(08/09/2007) Global warming will slow during the next few years but then accelerate with at least half of the years after 2009 warmer than 1998, the warmest year on record, reports a new study that is the first to incorporate information about the actual state of the ocean and the atmosphere, rather than the approximate ones most models use. The research, published by a team of scientists from the Hadley Center in the United Kingdom, appears in the current issue of the journal Science.
Industrial pollution has caused Arctic warming since 1880s
(08/09/2007) Industrial soot emissions have been warming the Arctic since at the least the 1880s, reports a new study that examined "black carbon" levels in the Greenland ice sheet over the past 215 years. The research is published in current issue of the journal Science.
2007 hurricane season downgraded, questions over climate role remain
(08/06/2007) Hurricane researcher William Gray from Colorado State University cut his 2007 hurricane season outlook, saying there will likely be fewer storms than previously projected due to weak La Niña conditions and more atmospheric dust from Africa.
Las Vegas has gotten hotter
(07/25/2007) Las Vegas and the rest of Nevada has heated up over the past 30 years, but it's not the entertainment industry that is responsible. A new study by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group reports that, as a state, Nevada has seen one of the largest increases in average temperature over the last three decades.

|Poll: By how many games, if at all, does Roger Goodell reduce Tom Brady's suspension?
|06.23.15 at 12:00 am ET
Tom Brady was suspended four games by the NFL over 40 days ago for his role in Deflategate and now he will have a chance to plead his case to have it reduced.
Brady and his legal team, led by Jeffrey Kessler, will meet with commissioner Roger Goodell beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the NFL Park Avenue offices in New York City Tuesday morning where Brady's appeal will be heard. It's also been reported Ted Wells will be present.
This leads us to our latest poll question:
|Poll: What do you think of Patriots' punishment of Malcolm Butler?

|Perfect weather greets fans gathered for 'Free Tom Brady' rally at Gillette Stadium
|05.24.15 at 2:49 pm ET
For Patriots fans, it was picture perfect weather to rally behind their picture perfect quarterback.
According to the "Free Tom Brady" rally Facebook page, 600 people committed part of their Memorial Day Sunday to show their support for the embattled Patriots quarterback in Lot 4 of Gillette Stadium. Estimates had the attendance actually on site less than the 600 figure.
Fans held signs that read "Free Tom Brady" and "Fire Goodell," voicing their displeasure over the four-game suspension that was handed down to Brady by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for the quarterback's role in Deflategate.
Brady has appealed the suspension through the Players Association, which requested last week that league commissioner Roger Goodell recuse himself from hearing the appeal. Goodell's lawyers have suggested he deny the union's request.
Patriots fans across New England and the country have rallied around Brady, whom they feel has been an unfair target of the probe by Ted Wells and the NFL to look into why footballs were under inflated in the first half of the AFC championship game against the Colts.
This week at Fenway Park, fans have broken out in spontaneous cheers of "Free Tom Brady," including Friday night when the team was down 12-5 in the 8th inning of a loss to the Los Angeles Angels.

|Transcript of Robert Kraft's statement accepting Patriots' penalties for Deflategate
|05.19.15 at 1:45 pm ET
At the NFL owners meetings in San Francisco, Robert Kraft spoke for roughly five minutes before announcing the team will accept its penalties (two draft picks and $1 million fine) for its role in Deflategate.
Here is the complete transcript of Kraft's statement:
It's been an emotionally charged couple of weeks, as all of you know, and I've been considering what my options are. And throughout this whole process, there have been two polarizing audiences. At one end of the spectrum, we've had Patriots fans throughout the country, who have been so supportive and really inspirational to us, and believing in us. But I'm also mindful at the other of the spectrum, there are fans that feel just the opposite. What I've learned is the ongoing rhetoric continues to galvanize both camps. And I don't see that changing. They will never agree.
But the one thing that we all can agree upon is the entire process has taken way too long. And I don't think anyone can believe that after four months of the AFC championship game, we are still talking about air pressure and the psi in footballs.
So I think I made it clear when the report came out that I didn't think it was fair. There was no hard evidence and everything was circumstantial, and at the same time, when the discipline came out, I felt it was way over the top, as it was unreasonable and unprecedented in my opinion.
So I have two options. I can try to end it, or extend it. And I have given a lot of thought to both options. The first thing that came to mind is 21 years ago, I had the privilege of going to a meeting similar to what we're at here, in Orlando, and being welcomed in an NFL owner's meeting. So here's a fan and former season ticket holder, living a dream and being welcomed in that room. And I got goosebumps that day. And I vowed at that time that I would do everything I could do to make the New England Patriots an elite team, and hopefully respected throughout the country, and at the same time, do whatever I could do to help the NFL become the most popular sport in America.
What I've learned over the last two decades is that the heart and soul of the strength of the NFL is the partnership of 32 teams. What's become very clear over those two decades is that at no time should the agenda of one team outweigh the collective good of the full 32. So I have way of looking at problems that are very strong in my mind and before I make the final decision, I measure nine times and I cut once.
And I think maybe if had made the decision last week it would be different than it is today. But believing in the strength of the partnership and the 32 teams, we have concentrated the power of adjudication of problems in the office of the commissioner. And although I might disagree with what is decided, I do have respect for the commissioner and believe that he's doing what he perceives to be in the best interests of the full 32.
So in that spirit, I don't want to continue the rhetoric that's gone on for the last four months. I'm going to accept, reluctantly, what he has given to us and not continue this dialogue and rhetoric. And we won't appeal.
Now I know that a lot of Patriots fans are going to be disappointed in that decision, but I hope they trust my judgment and know that I really feel at this point in time that taking this off the agenda, this is the best thing for the New England Patriots, our fans, and the NFL. And I hope you all can respect that.
You know, I would normally take questions, but my desire is truly not to continue the rhetoric. So I'm going to leave this discussion exactly here. Thank you very much.
|Chris Russo on D&C: 'There's no way around it, [Tom Brady] deserves 2 games'
|05.19.15 at 10:16 am ET
Sirius XM radio host Chris "Mad Dog" Russo joined Dennis & Callahan on Thursday to debate the Tom Brady four-game suspension for his role in Deflategate. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Russo feels Brady deserves a two-game suspension for his role, but he did say the sanctions imposed against the team surprised him.
"I would not have given Brady four games, I would have given him two games," Russo said. "He deserves two games. There's no way around it, he deserves two games. The fine for Kraft, who cares? The [first-round pick] and the [fourth-round pick], you want to tell me that is too much? I didn't think he would get the No. 1 pick. I could argue that, too. Yes, I definitely agree the punishment is too harsh.
"I don't have a problem with [Brady's suspension] and if you're Goodell and you want to give him two games and you don't suspend him and make it easy for him, what do you tell the Cleveland Browns, whose GM was suspended for a month in September because he sent text messages."
Russo and the hosts went back and forth debating whether or not Brady deserves to be suspended at all. Russo acknowledged he didn't read the Wells Report.
"I read what I had to read," said Russo. "Two hundred forty-six pages? It's not my job to read it. I have to analyze what [Roger] Goodell and [Ted] Wells feel? Do you think Roger Goodell would kick Brady out of four NFL games, three of which are huge TV property games because he wants to get back at the Patriots?"
