Ann Quin
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (April 2013)
Ann Quin (born 17 Mar 1936 in Brighton, Sussex-? Aug 1973) was a British writer noted for her experimental style.[citation needed] The author of Berg (1964), Three (1966), Passages (1969) and Tripticks (1972), she committed suicide in 1973 at the age of 37, the same year as B.S. Johnson (to whom she is often compared). More recently[when?] Stewart Home has written in admiration of her work,[citation needed] which remains largely overlooked, although Berg was adapted for film in 1989 as Killing Dad starring Denholm Elliott and Richard E. Grant.
Quin is associated[by whom?] with a loosely constituted circle of 'experimental' authors in Sixties Britain, headed by B.S. Johnson and including Stefan Themerson, Rayner Heppenstall, Alan Burns and Eva Figes.
Quin came from a working-class family and was educated at a Roman Catholic school, the Convent of the Blessed Sacrament in Brighton, until the age of 17. She trained as a shorthand typist and worked in a solicitor's office, then at a publishing company when she moved to Soho and began writing novels. Her first, Berg, was published by John Calder in 1964. Influenced by Virginia Woolf and other female British modernists, as well as the French nouveau roman, the opening line - "A man called Berg, who changed his name to Greb, came to a seaside town intending to kill his father..." - set the tone for a dark, psychological farce set in Quin's hometown, which became the most critically acclaimed of her four novels.
Berg was followed by Three (1966), Passages (1969) and Tripticks (1972), in which Quin continued her formal experimentation, although without making the same critical impact as she had with her debut. She committed suicide in 1973, drowning herself by swimming out into the sea off Brighton's Palace Pier, weeks before the death of her contemporary B. S. Johnson. Despite a complete re-print of her works by the Dalkey Archive Press, Quin's critical stock has rather declined since the Sixties,[opinion] although contemporary non-mainstream authors such as Stewart Home and Lee Rourke have cited her work as influential.[citation needed]
Quin is also said to have ghost-written the thesis of her then partner, pop artist Billy Apple.[1]

YIELD: Makes about 10 cups
Crack chicken wing bones in several places with back of a cleaver or large knife on a cutting board. Bring all ingredients to a boil in an 8- to 10-quart pot, skimming froth as necessary, then reduce heat and gently simmer, partially covered, 2 1/2 hours.
Remove pot from heat and cool stock to room temperature, about 1 hour. Pour stock through a large fine-mesh sieve lined with a triple thickness of cheesecloth into a large bowl and discard solids. Measure stock: If there is more than 10 cups, boil in cleaned pot until reduced; if there is less, add water.
If using stock right away, skim off and discard fat. If not, cool stock completely, uncovered, before skimming fat (it will be easier to remove when cool), then chill, covered.
Cooks' note: Stock can be chilled 3 days or frozen 1 month.

What others should know:For a bit more money you can get a much higher quality Bipod.

Opus 1870 by Penhaligon's
The scent opens with a burst of oriental sweetness, liquorice root tea, but still expresses itself very dryly. Think panela sweetened sugar syrup, that has half dried onto a cedar palette. It is surrounded by salt which has taken the water of the syrup and made it more chalk like. There is not much that is overly resinous about it. The musk sits behind the wood. A light old formulation of English Fern stirs on the side of a paddock 500m away and is carried through somehow on a breeze to the mens tea room of this scent. There are peach coloured roses to the side, falling off the bush that also nest under the trees/woods. The pepper is very powdery and aged, finely ground white pepper with cinnamon of the same age in there too. Pepper takes over and a handful is thrown over the mound lightly coating it. Small patches of thin moss spring up, cousins of the fern. The softness from the Australian sandalwood, which compared to Indian sandalwood, is much more rounded at the ends and lends the scent a certain femininity that is balanced by the pinch of old, polite incense.

coredump on x86_64 with nvidia drivers on glibc 2.15 Programs which are using nvidia
I'm PLD Linux distribution developer. We have recently noticed that after upgrade to glibc 2.15, programs depended on nvidia libraries trashes with core dump.
Here is example of vlc after choosing a film to play:
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Fore some reason starting vlc with strace there is no memory fault.
Nvidia doesn't include debug information in package, so we cannot debug what is wrong.
Kernel: 3.2.9 (x86_64)
Driver version: 295.20 (up to date).

This issue is quite similar to:
Some of our users noticed that even glxinfo crashes.
On my desktop glxinfo works fine.

Gerrit Cole shines in postseason debut as Pirates win Game 2
Oct 4, 2013, 4:33 PM EDT
Partly because they were worried about his innings count, the Pirates seriously considered putting Gerrit Cole into the bullpen for the postseason. It's a very good thing they didn't.
Cole pitched six innings of one-run ball and singled in the first run of the game as the Pirates beat the Cardinals 7-1 to even up the NLDS at one game apiece on Friday.
It was pretty much a stress free outing for the 2011 first overall pick in his first postseason appearance. The only run came on a Yadier Molina solo homer when the Pirates were already up 5-0. He threw just 86 pitches before the Pirates decide to turn things over to the pen.
Cole's hit came in the second with Pedro Alvarez on second base. Shortstop Jordy Mercer was intentionally walked to bring up the pitcher's spot, but Cole, who was 7-for-34 with five RBI in the regular season, responded with a single up the middle.
The stellar performance will force a tough decision on manager Clint Hurdle if the NLDS goes five games. With two off days coming up, Cole can come back in Game 5 on normal rest. Of course, that was supposed to be A.J. Burnett's assignment, but Burnett was torched for seven runs in two-plus innings in the Game 1 loss. Cole seems like the better bet of the two with the way he threw today.
Of course, the series still has to go five games first. The Cardinals will throw Joe Kelly and Michael Wacha in Pittsburgh on Sunday and Monday. The Pirates will use wild-card winner Francisco Liriano in Game 3 and sinkerballer Charlie Morton the next day.
- steelers88 - Oct 4, 2013 at 4:42 PM
What did I tell you guys. The Pirates bounced back and they bounced back in a BIG way! This series is FAR from over.
- apkyletexas - Oct 4, 2013 at 5:46 PM
I didn't see anyone in awe of the Cards today. The Bucs already won 10 games from St. Louis this year – they know how to play them.
I think it was reasonable to expect a split in St. Louis. For every advantage the Cards have, the Bucs have a counter. For all their hitting, the Bucs certainly have one of the best bullpens in the playoffs. For all their great starting pitching, the Bucs have a tremendous group of left-handed hitters. The Cards have Beltran, but the Bucs have Pedro. The Cards have Holliday, but the Bucs have McCutchen. The Cards have a great catcher in Molina, but the Pirates have their own great catcher in Russell Martin.

the evil empire of competence falls before the children of destiny!!
- Tyler - Oct 4, 2013 at 5:09 PM
Cole looked great. Hopefully the Pirates lock him up long term.
I'm excited to see the crowd in Pittsburgh Sunday afternoon. Liriano is great in PNC Park and the crowd will be jacked!
- Stiller43 - Oct 4, 2013 at 5:22 PM
Pirates in 4 possibly?!!!
Should have two chances to clinch (one at one) assuming liriano is still lights out at home
- Stiller43 - Oct 4, 2013 at 5:26 PM
And btw, game 5 wouldnt be a tough decision at all. Its cole all the way. Burnetts been trash lately and cole was their best pitcher in september.
- ditchparrot19 - Oct 4, 2013 at 6:08 PM
Maybe Burnett will take a page from Chris Perez's book and fire himself from the rotation. It's the best thing he could do for his team.
- steelers88 - Oct 4, 2013 at 9:52 PM
I think Cole should start the game 5. I don't think he will however, Hurdle doesn't have the guts to sit AJ down. So if this series goes 5 I say Burnett starts.

Brad Paisley's new album "This Is Country Music" will hit stores Tuesday May 23rd. And all next week you'll have a chance to win a copy for yourself. The new collection features collaborations with Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, Don Henley, Alabama, Marty Stuart, Sheryl Crow, Carl Jackson, even Clint Eastwood
In a move that will surprise no one, NBC announced Thursday that it is expanding 'The Voice' to two hours, effective June 7.
June 7 is, of course, when 'The Voice' switches to its live performance shows. According to Deadline, the live shows will air from 8-10PM on Tuesdays, following an hour-long episode of 'America's Got Talent.'
The Voice continues to impress me. And now, one contestant not only has local ties, but she also has ties to one of the mentors viewers will see beginning next week. Cherie Oakley has been a back-up singer for Gretchen Wilson, Carrie Underwood, and Reba McEntire. In fa
In the middle of that onslaught of severe weather last week and after one of the Daviess County tornado warnings that prompted a siren, my nephew asked me why the sirens went off so early. I asked him, "Don't you want as much lead time as possible in a situation like this?" Naturally, "yes," was his answer. And, in light of all the advancements made over the years in weather prediction and coverage, that raised a big question in mind.
Reba and Blake Shelton are both homegrown Oklahomans and the devastating tornadic weather that ripped through portions of their home state affected the musicians. Needless to say Reba and Blake plan to offer their assistance in the best way they know how, via the use of their incredible voices.
You've seen the commercials! You've seen Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green join forces on the song "Crazy!" Now, The Voice is set to make its debut on NBC! A lot of folks are wondering just how the latest talent show to hit the airwaves is going to work. Well, your boy, Benefield, did some diggin' and I'm ready to Voice what I found out!
If you're a Brad Paisley fan like I am and you can't wait to hear or see what he's doing next, either cranking out great songs like his latest song "Old Alabama" featuring Alabama or watching his videos to see what artist or movie star that will make a cameo appearance
So, during last nights ACM awards Blake Shelton was as we all expected...sooo funny! ( And, extremely yummy!!) Here are some my Blake favorites from last night...
On why he hasn't dedicated a song to fiance' Miranda Lambert like Keith Urban did for his wife
Well... maybe not! Tonight Blake Shelton will co-host the ACMs (show starts at 7pm!) with Reba McEntire and his better half thinks that maybe CBS should think about it! Miranda Lambert says, "I told CBS, my advice for you is a 3-second delay because you never know what's going to come out of his mouth, and you might not want that on live TV"
So, even thou I'm still pretty sure that my invite is lost in the mail.....
Miranda let the cat out of the bag and announced that her upcoming wedding on May 14th to Blake Shelton will be held in Texas! No big shocker here, but some thought it could be at their place in Oklahoma

Thanks for this interesting link.
I must admit until now I only had a faint idea of these images: very, very large; Central Station; Kodak playing on US-American values…
Though, looking at those images I guess some of them could have hung in an European station.

Very beautiful, I must say. Personally I think the lines on the cheek look a bit exaggerated, but other that that spot on. It has a very dreamy, watery effect.
It's not insanity, it's imagination with a voice.

Nice technique, but you are falling in the same problem that many people fall at this forum. Composition. I come from a graphic / web design background and that's something im very strict with. It see too many open spaces where the eye wander without any purpose at all. Unless this is a book cover or something very specific, is not working. But I have good news, I think that if you crop this document at the right place it may make a huge difference. The compossition is very conservative too, very much at the center. I invite you to make a couple of copies with different crop layouts and see for yourself. Maybe you'll end up liking it!!

1 sandwich
Buttery toasted bread stuffed with spicy jalapeños and nutty aged Monterey Jack cheese is sure to be a top contender for your no-time-to-cook meal of choice.
What to buy:
Use the best aged Jack you can find; we are particularly fond of Vella Dry Monterey Jack.
This recipe was featured as part of our Chile Pepper Recipes photo gallery.
See more grilled cheese combinations.
Beverage pairing: Benton Lane Pinot Gris, Oregon. There are two main flavors in this sandwich: herbaceous, spicy peppers and rich, nutty cheese. A good Pinot Gris such as Benton Lane's has the same duality: a lovely, herbaceous "greenness" along with rich, apple fruit.
Sweet onions and Italian sausage play well with jalapeño heat.
A quick zucchini recipe flavored with garlic and red pepper flakes, and topped with Parmesan cheese.
Tossed with chili powder and salt for a spicy snack.

MENA Mashup: Pentagon claims Ramadi a mere setback are 'delusional'
McClatchy published this excellent report yesterday…Experts: U.S. claims Ramadi a mere setback are 'delusional'
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration Monday called the fall of the capital of Iraq's Anbar province to the Islamic State a temporary setback that Iraqi forces would reverse with U.S. support. Experts dismissed that assessment as ludicrous.
"Delusional, really, is the better word," Ali Khedery, a former U.S. official who served as an adviser to five U.S. ambassadors to Iraq and three heads of U.S. Central Command, said of the administration's statement. "It's unbelievable, frankly. I now know what it's like to have lived through Vietnam, I guess."
Experts called the loss a stunning blow to the Iraqi government and U.S. strategy.
It wasn't clear why the administration clung to an upbeat message three days after the Islamic State overran most of Ramadi and a day after Iraq's best special forces unit fled the city with other troops, local police and tribal fighters. The message was delivered in nearly identical verbiage by White House, State Department and Pentagon spokesmen and was reinforced by a statement from Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"ISIL's gains in Ramadi are a serious setback for its long-suffering inhabitants. It is also a setback for the ISF (Iraqi Security Forces)," said Dempsey. "Setbacks are regrettable but not uncommon in warfare. Much effort will now be required to reclaim the city. We will continue to support Iraq's security forces with U.S. airstrikes, training and equipment."
It wasn't until Monday that the administration and U.S. military officials acknowledged the fall of Ramadi after several days of insisting that the situation in the city of 900,000 was fluid and contested and that the Islamic State was on the defensive in Iraq and neighboring Syria.
"This is something we've known was possible for some time," said Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman. "Ramadi has been surrounded for probably a year now."
Vietnam Vet and Middle East expert, Col. Pat Lang, took a very dim view on all the spin… The Borg speaks with one voice. (more…)

Irish Goods, Dublin
19 Reviews
19 Reviews
This tip is offered with tongue in cheek...but when I visit another country I have to make a stop in the grocery store to see what things I can bring home for my kitchen. Maybe you do the same...
Rhubarb, yes they have it in the Spring, and we brought some home to Italy as Italians don't have a clue as to what rhubarb is. Rubabaro...
Chedder Cheese, can't find yellow cheese in Italy, either.
Another kind of paprika for the shelf, whole wheat flour, spices.
Gourmet Salt
What to buy: It doesn't have to be from Ireland, just unusual to where you live.
Whever you go in the world the dreaded plague of Souvenirs raises it's ugly head. They all seem to be made in China anyway. I often wonder what a Chinese worker in some fleapit factory thinks about producing thousands of damned plastic lepichauns. Why do people by this crap anyway?
The worst excesses of a 'disneyfied idea of Ireland' or fake 'Oirishness' can be found in the chain of Carrolls Irish gift shops. Their list of establishments are listed below :
Upper and Lower O'Connell street
Talbot Street
Henry Street
Wesmoreland Street
St Stephen's green shopping centre
Suffolk Street.
PS they do sell some Guinness emblazoned clothing and other more sensible stuff as well.
You can find all measure of Irish goods over here at reasonable prices. Fridge magnets, t-shirts, pens, baubles, cds etc. Carrolls are all over Dublin almost every street corner but they stock a great variety of items
This chain has many shops in the city, and you may even get to see their own van driving around, as I did!
Nice selection of souvenirs of various kinds, you're bound to find something(s) that tickles your fancy :)
The shops are big, with things laid out and displayed very neatly.
What to buy: A cool leprechaun magnet was my favourite (holding the tricolour!), but I'm sure you will like many other things.
What to pay: The sky is the limit ;)
No really, their prices are VERY good, probably the most competitive around. You can even buy online :)
Whether I am traveling for business or pleasure I always bring my grandson (Leo) a gift. I will usually try to pick up a plush teddy bear with t-shirt of the country's emblem, or any stuffed animal that would be associated with the country.
During my first visit to Dublin I stumbled upon Carroll's Irish Gifts here on O'Connell Street. This is one of those souvenir shops that has everything "Irish" you can think of. The store is quite large with many different items whether tacky or not, to take back home to your loved one, or for your own pleasure.
Prices are reasonable and what I really liked about this store is they have a very large selection of rugby and soccer items as well as assortments of chocolate, jewelry, house goods and of course those little leprechuns.
What to buy: I purchased some chocolate, a fridge magnet, cut polo shirt for Leo and a small snow globe. I didn't find a bear I liked at this store though.
What to pay: Very reasonable
Carroll's is a gift store located on almost every corner of Dublin City Centre, it sells quality Irish and Celtic Gifts. Carrol's offer a variety of Irish and Celtic gifts, which include jewlery, music cd's, candy, clothing and many others. Basicially whatever you can think of, they have it.
It is not cheap, but nothing in Dublin is, so just have a bit of fun and spend your share on Irish craft!
What to buy: CD's with Ireland best folk music, Irish Whisky Fudge chocolates, keyrings, hoodies etc.
Carroll's Irish Gift Stores is a chain of souvenir shops that we discovered in Dublin. The largest store is probably the one on O'Connell Street.
We managed to buy all our souvenirs and special Irish gifts for our friends at Carroll's. The t-shirts were a great deal but we also found Irish heritage mugs/keychains/plaques with our family names which were fantastic presents.
What to buy: The store on O'Connell Street sells traditional Irish wool fisherman sweaters, something different from the other stores. They also have a huge assortment of Guinness souvenirs compared to the other smaller shops.
You can also find Irish t-shirts with humorous slogans or famous Irish brands like Guinness beer. Many of the t-shirts are sold 3 for 20 Euros so you can easily pick up shirts for your friends back home!
What to pay: If you spend more than 100 Euros, you will get a free Irish music CD as a gift. Unfortunately it's there is only one CD so don't expect any variety if you spend more!
Also, the stores wouldn't take anything over 50 Euro notes due to counterfeits so if you plan on doing some shopping, try to bring smaller bills.
Irish chocolate is amazing.
There's is the basic Cadbury's stuff sold in newsagents (you can only buy it in Ireland and the Uk because it has too much sugar and not enough cocoa to classify as chocolate in the EU or other parts of the world).
But then we also have luxury chocolates. Lily O'Brien and Butlers are the main players here. Lily O'Briens can be purchased in some supermarkets and also in gift stores. Butlers have some of their own shops in Dublin (at the Junction of Exchequer Street and South William Street in Dublin 2; Henry Street, Dublin 1 and on Nassau Street, Dublin 2) and also sell from some supermarkets and tourist shops like Kilkenny on Nassau Street.
What to buy: Buy Mint Crisp or Golden Crisp or just plain old dairy milk in Cadburys. if you're feeling more adventurous Moros , Crunchies (with honeycomb and choclate), eclairs (toffee with chocolate on the inside) or Bourneville (dark chocolate)
Treat yourself to a selection in Butlers or Lily O'Briens or one of their smaller bars (very rich but delicious and an ideal quick gift)
Fry's Pepperment Cream or Spearmint cream are minty Irish favourites, available from most
What to pay: The cheaper bars start at about 80 cents.
With Lily O'Briens and Butlers expect to pay 1 euro fifity for a small bar, and about 6 euro for a very small selection
Why not nab yourself a piece of Irish art if you can afford it?
Francis Street in Dublin's south city centre is fast establishing itself as the place to buy art. It was once known for antiques but now its being taken over by art studios. Espeically notable are The Bad Art Gallery and Kevin Sharkey's studio.
The top floor of Saint Stephen's Green Shopping Centre has a selection of Irish art, as well as cheaper prints.
Finally "This is Not a Shop" on Benburd Street, just up from Middle Abbey Street, is a quirky gallery cum apartment. You can go in, browse the art, perhaps even drop in on on eof their parties.
What to buy: if you have the money go for Kevin Sharkey (one of ireland's best known contemporary artists) or Graham Knuttel.
What to pay: Pieces at this is not a shop start at 50 euro, Kevin Sharkey from 100 euro and Graham Knuttel from about 300 euro. Stephen's Green gallery has prints for fifteen euro and paintings starting at 50 euro.
Any vending machine in any station or airport will sell these delightful, and delicious crisps for 80c. They are the nations favourite. I chose cheese and onion.
"3 out of 4 people prefer Tayto" - (That's what it claims on the packet) I wonder what the fourth one prefers??
What to buy: Soft drinks/crisps/chocolates/sweets
What to pay: Up to a couple of Euros
I must say! One of the things you should buy when you're in Dublin is to buy chocolate. Plenty of chocolates available that you can find in Duty Free Shop but Guinness Stout Chocolates is the most tastiest chocolate I have ever eaten. Either you hate it or like it
You can find all your Guinness memorabillia at the Guinness storehouse,you can buy t.shirts,glasses,hats just about everything.There are also lots of shops all over Dublin selling the merchandise great for a souvenir to take home.
Mrs. Birchy insisted that I bring her a bauble from Ireland. I asked my friend Molystar where to find good crystal at a reasonable price. She suggested Grafton Street in Dublin. But, she advised, don't shop in the shops on the street. Instead go around the corner to "The House of Ireland." There you will find he same products at a better price.
Indeed, I went to Grafton Street that evening and did some comparison shopping and she was correct. I was able to purchase a fine Waterford Crystal vase at a very reasonable price. I shipped it home and the discount on the VAT paid for shipping and insurance. Needless to say Mrs. Birchy was delighted at my shopping prowess!!!
Even though you can purchase the same items in the US or through the House of Ireland catalog, as Mrs. Birchy puts it: "It isn't the same as getting it at the source." I guess I have to agree.
What to buy: Take some time to look over the crystal and china The House of Ireland has to offer. It is a limited selection but by no means scant. They also have fine woolens and whatever that you might purchase as a momento of Ireland.
I might add that the sales clerk was very helpful while not being pushy. I enjoyed this experience very much.
Sorry, I don't have a picture but take my word for it.
What to pay: A fine, large Waterford Vase: $250 US
What to buy:
Irish Smoked Salmon has a wonderful taste and maked a great gift to take away with you. Buy some traditional brown bread at the same time and some Irish butter to spread on the bread. My tip is to buy the Smoked Salmon in one of the Irish supermarkets e.g. Superquinn. It will cost a lot less than in the specialist shops or the Airport. Buy the " wild" type as it has a much nicer taste. Buy a freezer bag to transport the Salmon home(about 2 Euro).
What to pay: 15-20 Euros for a side of slided smoked salmon
The Library has of course its own shop and sells all kinda books, postcards and other stuff.
What to buy: As you are not allowed to take pictures in the Long Room you can buy nice Postcards for 50 Cents.
Also check out the Sweatshirts, they are kinda cool!
What to pay: Postcards: 50 cents
Sweatshirt: about 40 Euro

I'm a nerd who likes to escape his desk, I haven't had an actual desk in ages actually.
I grew up in the north east in a small town outside of Boston, MA. I made my way west, going to school for environmental science then cooking in the mountains in Wyoming for a spell and hitchhiking across the country, worked on a farm and a wolf sanctuary and moved to Oakland to learn to cook. I worked as a line cook for a while at a couple of East Bay restaurants and now have a bizarre and wonderful job making Italian prosciutto, sausage and salami in Oakland, CA. Strangely this is the closest I've ever come to being hired for my college degree. I try to pretend I'm a grown up, but I'll be jumping in puddles before you know it.

1894, "anyone of a relationship not natural," abstracted from father-in-law, etc.
The position of the 'in-laws' (a happy phrase which is attributed ... to her Majesty, than whom no one can be better acquainted with the article) is often not very apt to promote happiness. ["Blackwood's Magazine," 1894]The earliest recorded use of the phrase is in brother-in-law (13c.); the law is Canon Law, which defines degrees of relationship within which marriage is prohibited.

Offsets are indeed the issue for Mariota, Titans
No, a surfing clause isn't keeping the Titans from signing quarterback Marcus Mariota, the No. 2 overall pick in the draft. The real reason is far less interesting.
As expected, it's the question of whether Mariota's contract will include offset language for the fully-guaranteed payments to be made from 2015 through 2018. The Titans want to have the ability to get credit for any money Mariota owns elsewhere, if Mariota is cut at any point during his first four NFL seasons. Mariota wants to have the ability to keep his guaranteed money from the Titans, and to keep whatever he earns from another team.
And so the two sides are starting at each other, waiting for one of them to blink. The Titans think/assume/hope that Mariota will cave before missing a training-camp practice, or possibly after missing a handful of them. Mariota thinks/assumes/hopes that the Titans will cave, given that they need their potential franchise quarterback to become a franchise quarterback as quickly as possible.
It's odd that it's even a fight. But it's a fight because the first overall pick, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, has offset language in his contract and the third overall pick, Jaguars linebacker Dante Fowler Jr., does not have offset language in his contract.
If Mariota performs so poorly that he's cut before he finishes his contract, the Titans will have problems far bigger than whether they can get credit for whatever Mariota earns elsewhere.
So why fight it? Maybe the Titans are simply trying to be tough. Maybe the Titans think the league wants teams to include offset language in rookie deals. (If so, the Jaguars and Rams didn't get the memo.)
Regardless, a very minimal issue threatens to become a very major problem, if neither Mariota nor the Titans blink by the start of training camp, or at the latest not long after it opens.

Mendenhall's Roethlisberger story wasn't completely accurate
The story told by former Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall about quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sticking a rookie with a $25,000 tab was interesting. It would have been even more interesting if it were, you know, accurate.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, it started as a dinner for offensive linemen at a steakhouse, not a club. The offensive linemen determined that former Steelers offensive lineman Tony Hills, a rookie at the time, would pay. (Hills, who currently plays for the Cowboys, was a fourth-round pick of the Steelers in 2008.)
The quarterbacks showed up as well, the linemen ran up a huge bill, and Hills wasn't able to pay it.
Roethlisberger actually paid roughly half of the amount on the spot, with Hills reimbursing him later.
The practice of sticking rookies with huge bar and club tabs, which was one of the issues raised in the Jonathan Martin bullying scandal, has ended in Pittsburgh. It's probably ended with most NFL teams.
Ivory release continues new NFL trend
Before the Ray Rice debacle, NFL teams would react to a player getting arrested by issuing the same kind of perfunctory statement that the Texans issued on Thursday about defensive lineman Brandon Ivory — and then waiting for the legal process to play out before taking any further action.
After the Ray Rice debacle, the Texans followed the perfunctory statement issued on Thursday with decisive action, cutting the undrafted rookie free agent who faces charges in Alabama of first-degree burglary.
Who care if he's innocent until proven guilty or if Ivory's agent claims he's innocent? Ivory is destined to be placed on the Commissioner-Exempt list, which means that any NFL team that employs Ivory will have to pay him to not play until the charges are resolved, after which point they'll quite possibly be not paying him to not play.
Unless the player is a star, there's no reason to deal with it. For that reason, more and more teams will be quickly dropping players who are accused of any crime that could result in their placement on paid leave.
That's another problem with the NFL's decision to use paid leave as a way to get players charged with certain crimes off the field until their legal situations are resolved. The league contends it's not a disciplinary move because the player still gets paid. But if the trend will be to cut any non-essential player who is facing paid leave, the player won't be allowed to play — and he won't be getting paid.
Regardless of how anyone feels about any player who is accused of a crime, the NFL's decision to supplement the criminal justice system in the name of public relations must be done in a way that respects labor relations. The NFL's current approach doesn't properly respect the rights of all players, which eventually will force the NFL Players Association to waste more money on legal fees.
Lions great Charlie Sanders dies at 68
Charlie Sanders, a Hall of Fame tight end and one of the greatest players in Detroit Lions history, has died at the age of 68.
Sanders recently revealed that he was battling cancer.
Born and raised in North Carolina, Sanders played his college football at Minnesota, where he was an All-Big Ten tight end and helped lead the Gophers to a share of the Big Ten title during his senior season in 1967. The Lions selected Sanders with a third-round pick in the 1968 NFL draft.
In Detroit, Sanders made an immediate impact and became a seven-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro. When he retired after the 1977 season, Sanders had the all-time franchise record for catches, with 336 in his career.
Sanders remained with the Lions organization after retiring, working as a radio commentator, a wide receivers coach, and an assistant director of player personnel. In 2007 he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Antonio Gates suspended four games for PED violation
Fireworks haven't been going off at NFL headquarters just before July 4, but announcements of suspensions keep on coming Thursday.
Chargers tight end Antonio Gates is the latest to fall under discipline from the league office. The NFL announced that Gates has been suspended four games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
"In my 12 years in the NFL, I have taken tremendous pride in upholding the integrity of the NFL shield and all that it entails," Gates said in a statement. "I have taken extreme care of my body with a holistic approach and I have never knowingly ingested a substance that was banned by the NFL. In an effort to recover from this past season, I used supplements and holistic medicines, and unfortunately, I have now learned that those substances always present a risk because they may contain banned substances even if the ingredient list doesn't reflect them. As an NFL veteran and team leader, I should have done my due diligence to ensure that what I was taking for recovery was within the NFL guidelines. I understand that I am responsible for what is in my body and I have always believed that ignorance is no excuse when it comes to these issues. I take full responsibility for my actions. I'd like to express my sincere apologies to the Chargers, my teammates, coaches, fans and the league who have always supported me and expected and gotten nothing but the highest level of integrity from me."
Gates will miss games against the Lions, Bengals, Vikings and Browns before becoming eligible to return in Week Five against the Steelers. He'll be able to take part in training camp practices and preseason games before the suspension goes into effect.
Gates had 69 catches for 821 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Chargers last season and that production at 34 may raise some eyebrows in light of Thursday's suspension. Lardarius Green will be the likely replacement for Gates in San Diego's first four games.
Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson, Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain and Packers defensive end Datone Jones have also had suspensions announced by the league on Thursday.
Datone Jones suspended one game for substance abuse violation
Yep, it's officially a Friday news dump, even though it's Thursday.
Packers defensive end Datone Jones became the third player suspended today, getting one game for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
He follows Sheldon Richardson and Rolando McClain in getting suspensions on Thursday, before the league slides out to the Hamptons for the weekend.
Jones, the Packers 2013 first-round pick, was growing into a solid player, even though he hasn't reached the heights of other guys drafted around him. And now, he won't start working on it until Week Two.
McClain, Richardson both failed to choose football
NFL teams generally don't care about players smoking marijuana. NFL teams care greatly when players have to choose between marijuana and football.
Most players who test positive for marijuana a single time immediately choose football over marijuana, avoiding any further positive tests and all potential discipline. For Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain and Jets defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson, they repeatedly failed to choose football.
For Richardson, it was marijuana. And the Jets, who used the sixth overall pick in the 2015 draft on defensive lineman Leonard Williams, surely knew that Richardson was choosing marijuana over football enough times to worry about him missing games when they picked Williams.
For McClain, word emerged in February that he was facing a four-game fine under the substance-policy, only one violation away from a four-game suspension.
For both, they'll have to choose football over marijuana or the next step will be a 10-game suspension. Then, a year.
For the next year, they'll have to pass up to 10 drug tests per month to avoid further suspensions.
Report: Sheldon Richardson suspended for marijuana use
The NFL announced Thursday that the Jets will open the season without defensive end Sheldon Richardson because Richardson has been suspended for four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
The league does not disclose the specific violation, but Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that it is for marijuana use. Richardson issued a statement through the team when the suspension was announced and went on Twitter Thursday to offer further apologies for the suspension.
"I apologize for my mistake and for disappointing the people who mean everything to me," Richardson wrote. "I vow to you, this will not happen again. My team will continue to push forward without me to start the season. I promise I will be there for them in every way that I can until I am able to return."
It will be interesting to see if Richardson's suspension impacts the Jets' decision-making on the defensive line moving forward. Muhammad Wilkerson is in the final year of his rookie deal and stayed away from voluntary work this spring while trying to get a new one. Richardson has two year and a team option left on his deal and the Jets may warm to the idea of extending Wilkerson if the suspension gives them doubts about Richardson over the long term.
Richardson said last month that he thought Wilkerson was worth "Suh money." His suspension may wind up pushing him closer to it.
NFL suspends Rolando McClain four games
Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain is suspended for the first four games of the regular season.
The NFL has announced that McClain was suspended for a violation of the league's substance-abuse policy. McClain released a statement apologizing for the suspension.
"I apologize to my family, the Cowboys organization, my teammates and Cowboys fans for my mistake," McClain said. "I will not break the rules of my profession in the future, and I regret my error. I look forward to returning to the field on week 5, when I hope to help my team beat the Patriots."
McClain has had a series of off-field issues that nearly derailed his career in the past, but last year with the Cowboys he had a very productive season. Now his off-field problems are again becoming an issue.
The NFL likes to time the release of bad news so that it doesn't generate too much attention, and the decision to announce the suspensions of McClain and Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson on the Thursday afternoon before a three-day holiday weekend is another example of that practice. We'll see if there's more bad news coming before the Fourth of July.
Texans cut Brandon Ivory
Rookie defensive tackle Brandon Ivory's agent said that his client will be cleared of all charges related to his arrest on Wednesday.
Ivory and another man allegedly took cash and two iPads after breaking into a home in Alabama while one held an assault rifle and the other carried a knife, which resulted in first degree burglary charges for Ivory. The Texans either disagree or aren't interested in waiting around to find out.
John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports that the Texans have cut Ivory a day after the arrest and their statement that they were gathering facts about what happened.
Ivory was signed as an undrafted free agent after completing his career at Alabama and will likely now need to have those charges cleared in order to get a second chance at finding a job in the NFL.
Sheldon Richardson suspended four games for substance abuse violation
It's not quite 5 p.m., but the NFL has dumped some bad news just before the start of the holiday weekend.
The league has announced that Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson has been suspended four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Richardson can attend training camp and play in the preseason, but he'll miss the first four weeks of the regular season and will be eligible to return after the team plays the Dolphins on October 4. He'll also miss games against the Browns, Colts and Eagles.
"I apologize for letting down my family, teammates, this organization and the fans," Richardson said in a statement sent through the team. "However, words aren't enough. This is something that can only be addressed by how I handle myself from this point on. I don't want this to take away from what the team is trying to accomplish. While I won't be there at the start of the regular season, I will do whatever I can to support my teammates until I'm able to return to the field."
In a separate statement, coach Todd Bowles called the news "disappointing" and said that the Jets will "keep moving forward with our preparations" for the 2015 season.
Those preparations will likely include a larger role for first-round pick Leonard Williams, who will likely join Muhammad Wilkerson and Damon Harrison as the team's top linemen until Richardson can return.
Packers have leapfrogged Seahawks as Super Bowl favorites
Maybe a summer of Russell Wilson contract drama is rubbing off on the betting public.
Whether it's that or the relative stability in other precincts, there's a new Super Bowl favorite in the gambling community.
Kevin Bradley, the sports book manager at Bovada.lv, said the Seahawks no longer carried their best odds to win the title.
"The Super Bowl runner-up Seahawks had been favorite to win it all in 2016 since their loss back in February but there is very little support for them from a betting perspective," Bradley said. "The Packers have now jumped to the favorite position at 6/1 and have seen more money than any other team. If the Hawks can get there again and win the Super Bowl, it would be the best result for the book and I do not see that changing any time soon."
The Seahawks are still second on their list at 13/2, followed by the Colts (8/1), Patriots (9/1) and Cowboys (10/1).
And now that I've written my second gambling-related item of the day, it's time to pour one out in honor of our former PFT colleague Morris Wilkening.
Ryan Kerrigan running after offseason knee scope
Washington did a lot of work to upgrade their defensive line in free agency by signing Stephen Paea, Terrance Knighton and Ricky Jean Francois to bolster the unit.
Their hope is that group can work well with outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan on the field this fall, a development that will require Kerrigan to make a full recovery from an offseason knee scope. Kerrigan appears to be well on his way to making that recovery.
"I'm running now," Kerrigan said, via CSN Washington. "Now it's just about building the strength. My leg feels really good and I'm glad I got the surgery — not just for football but it makes my everyday life feel better so I'm glad I got it done. Now it's just a matter of getting strong and getting into shape."
Kerrigan's presence in the lineup will benefit the Redskins as a team and it will give him a chance to make his best case for a new deal if he and the team don't come to an agreement before the start of the season.
NFL announces seven players eligible for supplemental draft
In the last two years, no players have been selected in the NFL supplemental draft. This year, the NFL has announced that seven players are eligible to be selected.
However, only one is likely to be chosen: Isaiah Battle, an offensive tackle from Clemson, has a very good chance of getting picked when the supplemental draft takes place on July 9.
The league has announced that six other players are eligible as well: West Georgia defensive end Darrius Caldwell, West Georgia defensive tackle Dalvon Stuckey, Houston defensive end Eric Eiland, UConn tight end Sean McQuillan, Kansas defensive back Kevin Short and North Carolina Central wide receiver/kick returner Adrian Wilkins.
Players can enter the supplemental draft if something changes with their college eligibility after the deadline to declare for the regular draft. Often when "something changes" that means the player off-field trouble, so that means supplemental prospects are viewed by NFL teams as having one strike against them already.
Battle's talent may be sufficient that some team will overlook that one strike and draft him. The other players are likely to be passed over in the supplemental draft and attempt to sign somewhere as undrafted free agents.

Season Update: I've done 2 more races after that first one of the season where I scored a 5th place and my first "wood".
Next race was Myakka city, known for its many water crossings and a challenging enduro cross section that I elected to skip.
I learned how to do the water crossings without getting soaked and blinded but not until the first lap was over and I did the first 3 crossings with too much speed getting soaked in the process and losing a ton of time. You just can't race in the dark woods with smeared up goggles, and going slow meant the goggles took forever to clear up. I ended up in 8th at this one, not very happy with that, but lesson learned about going much slower thru the water sections. This was also the second race that I ended up in dead last right at the start... I was running hard in 5th or so thru the first 1/2 mile, then lost it and stalled in a deep muddy pit when I got blinded to the trail ahead by following guys too closely. I crashed and the bike ended up leaning downhill and stalled, which never ends well. The whole field of 20+ passed while I was restarting. So once again I had to work my way thru the whole field of riders. I was able to come back to score an 8th place. No trophy on this one.

A wonderful thing to snuggle into, as full of heart and pep and innocence as the title character himself.
Does a masterful job of combining digital imagery and voice performance to create totally believable animal characters.
Like many modern children's films, Stuart Little 2 can't decide between teaching good values ("You're only as big as you feel") and tossing out fake-hip jokes. Though it doesn't happen as often as it should, this is a better film when it allows itself simply to be sweet.
Returning director Rob Minkoff (The Lion King) and screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost) have done a fine job of updating White's dry wit to a new age, led in no small measure by Lane, who could probably make the IRS code book sound funny.
It's a pleasant experience. But that's what it is: a sequel that replays every aspect of the original movie.
What sets the "Stuart Little" franchise above most of the competition is its emphasis on sharply drawn character and its profusion of witty remarks (mostly from the mouth of Snowbell) that are cutting enough to amuse grown-ups without sailing over children's heads.
It's easy enough to forget there are special effects involved, so convincing is Stu's rippling fur and big beamy eyes filling up with tears.
Very much a kiddie ride, Stuart Little 2 is lively without being hyperactive -- it's a bouncy mouse caper with a wee bit of soul.
Of the voices, Griffith makes Margalo lovable and as sexy as a little yellow bird can be, and Lane does a virtuoso job with Snowbell, the only cat with dialogue by Damon Runyon. Fox's Stuart is stalwart and heroic--the Braveheart of mice. As for the parents, Davis and Laurie deserve some kind of award for keeping straight faces.
A warm, witty, consistently funny family movie with a sweet message about loving yourself, be you a mouse or whatever.
May be the best family movie of the 2002 summer film-going season. There's a simple reason for this - the picture seems to have been put together with the recognition that some members of the audience may be above the age of ten.
The film is fairly formulaic, though some of its puns and wisecracks are hilarious, especially those delivered by the Littles' lazy and cynical Persian cat (Nathan Lane).
It's hard to imagine spending $120 million on a film starring a computer-generated mouse -- an actor who barely demands a byte to eat -- but if that's how much it takes to provide innocent enchantment for the global hordes, so be it. This sequel beats the original paws down.
Neither man nor mouse nor any other critter has a prayer of holding his/her/its own once the real star of the sequel shows up: Snowbell, the worrywart feline voiced by Nathan Lane.
The moral of this softhearted tale is that family values can rehabilitate and tenderize even the toughest of birds. But you'll forgive me if I liked it less when Stuart smoothed Margalo's feathers than when Snowbell's fundamental cattiness made the fur fly.
The plot is predictable and the dialogue often sticky sweet, but at least kids will identify with Stuart's desire for adventure and exploration.
Vacillating between sappy and snappy, Stuart Little 2 is featherweight family fare, perfectly timed for viewers with short attention spans.
Nearly scrapes the bottom of the cracker barrel in search of suspense, now that the humans accept the polite mouse as one of their own.
Basically more of the same, and depending on who you are, that's either an encouraging statement or a warning.
Stuart and Margolo are genuine marvels of computer generated special effects, each feather, whisker and strand of fur beautifully rendered. But they're bland and rather boring characters, dumbed down for kids.
Manages to pretty much ignore all the strengths of the earlier film while exacerbating all its faults.
A lot more stupid action - and a lot less heart - than the character-driven original, as Stuart ends up rescuing Margalo from Falcon.

The Long-Term Impacts of Teachers
Okay… first of all, did you know that there actually is a Value-Added Research Center? I didn't. But the Value-Added Research Center, part of the University of Wisconsin, performs groundbreaking work on value-added systems, program and policy evaluation, and data-driven decision making. These researchers look at studies like The Long-Term Impacts of Teachers that examines the impact of a teacher's "value-added." "Value-added" is defined as the average test-score gain for a teacher's students, adjusted for differences across classrooms in student characteristics (such as their previous scores). The question these researchers explored in the study: Is teacher value-added a good measure of teacher quality? In investigating the long-term impacts of "effective teachers", the scientists that found elementary- and middle-school teachers who help raise their students' standardized-test scores have a wide-ranging, lasting positive effect on those students' lives even beyond academics.
The study tracked 2.5 million students over 20 years showed that students who raised their standardized test scores not only enjoyed higher college matriculation rates and increased adult earnings, but they also had lower teenage-pregnancy rates. On average, having a high value-added teacher for one year in grades 4-8 was shown to raise a child's lifetime income by $9,000. "If you leave a low value-added teacher in your school for 10 years, rather than replacing him with an average teacher, you are hypothetically talking about $2.5 million in lost income," said Professor Friedman, one of the coauthors of the study.
This study, which adds to the already engaged debate about holding teachers accountable for student test scores is likely to influence the metrics by which we measure teacher effectiveness. One camp argues that incorporating metrics to measure teacher effectiveness can only improve the educational outcome of our students. The other camp maintains that it is impossible to isolate the effect of a single teacher with so many variables involved in student performance (including parental involvement, student intelligence, social factors, extra-curriculars, student motivation, etc.), and we do good teachers a grave disservice by using student test scores to evaluate them.
Nonetheless, many school districts have begun to use value-added metrics to influence decisions on hiring, salary, and even firing. It is safe to say that everyone believes that teacher quality is important. But maybe this study demonstrates just how important, and the long-term impacts that teacher quality can have on students. Or…. one could argue that it demonstrates the long-term impacts that standardized test scores have on students and that teacher quality is just one variable in that equation. Student achievement is a complex recipe that includes effective teachers. But it also includes high student motivation, parental involvement, good attendance, homework completion, out-of-school learning experiences, etc.
Whichever side of the debate you lean, as we approach standardized testing season, equipping students with the knowledge, skills, motivation, and confidence they need to perform their best is essential. And, according to some researchers, their performance could have effects that reverberate long after the tests are graded.

Student Involvement & Leadership
Mortar Board is a national honor society that recognizes college seniors for superior achievement in scholarship, leadership, and service. Membership is synonymous with dedication and success. The PLU Black & Gold Chapter creates a cohort experience for students, in which they will elect leadership positions and assume responsibility for ongoing programs and service to the institution throughout their senior year.
Membership in PLU's chapter of Mortar Board recognizes juniors with a 3.5 GPA or higher who have demonstrated excellence in scholarship, leadership, and service. Students are inducted into the honor society the spring of their junior year and serve as active members throughout their senior year. Eligible students are invited to submit an application.
Being tapped is a tradition within the Honor Society of informing students that they have been selected. On April 21, 2014, 36 PLU students were tapped by Mortar Board advisors to become the first members of Black & Gold Chapter of Mortar Board. Following the tapping, new members attend an orientation session and a formal induction ceremony. The newly inducted cohort elects its leadership; the available leadership positions are outlined in the PLU Mortar Board Bylaws. Students participate as active members of Mortar Board throughout their senior year.
Application for 2015-2016 membership is now closed.
New application will start in Spring 2016.

There are a number of asset classes poised for growth this year, says Jay Leupp, president of Grubb & Ellis Alesco Global Advisors. Multifamily, health care and industrial will do well for reasons specific to their industries, he says. Office, by contrast, could potentially hit a 20% vacancy level nationwide this year. Lodging is also not doing well, with assets projected to change hands at distressed levels. But Leupp says if demand rebounds sooner than expected, hotels could wind up being one of the better performing sectors in real estate.

States Seek Better Ways to Pick Judges amid Cases of Rogue Jurists, Florida and Other States Debate Anew Election vs. Appointment
Warren Richey, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
Americans would like to think that people who become judges are of such high moral character and professional accomplishment that they are incapable of wrongdoing. But the sad fact is that not all who become judges are worthy of the title.
A few examples:
* A Tennessee judge convicted of sexually assaulting several women in his courthouse chambers becomes a federal fugitive rather than report to prison to serve 25 years. * A Miami circuit court judge is sentenced to 15 years in prison after being convicted of selling for $50,000 the identity of an undercover informant in a drug case. * The chief judge of the Illinois Supreme Court is censured after reports that he used his power to try to beat speeding tickets, "ruling" from behind his steering wheel that he was not guilty. How best to separate judicial wheat from chaff is at the heart of a debate over whether judges should be elected or appointed. One idea is to give more attention to the selection of potential judges to prevent unsuitable candidates from ever reaching the bench, rather than trying to police and remove incompetent or corrupt jurists. The debate has been joined most recently in Florida, where public-interest groups are pushing a proposal to end the election of thousands of trial court judges throughout the state. Instead, Common Cause, the League of Women Voters, and others want all judges in Florida selected the way Florida Supreme Court and appeals court judges are picked - through careful consideration of a judicial nominating committee that examines qualifications and temperament before recommending at least three candidates to the governor for appointment. Each appointee is later subject to a retention election, in which voters are asked whether the judge should continue to serve or be replaced. Opponents of this approach say it erodes democracy, replacing a selection process open to millions of voters with an elitist commission that will be heavily influenced by political pressures unseen by Florida voters. At the heart of the appointment-election debate is a dilemma over how to strike a balance between two equally desirable goals: achieving judicial independence from outside interference versus holding judges accountable for their actions on the bench. "When you start talking about judicial-election reforms, you must ask what will this do to the independence or accountability of the judges?" says Anthony Champagne, a political scientist at the University of Texas at Dallas. "What each state has to do is find the appropriate balance." Proponents of so-called merit selection say the process results in higher-quality judges who are less likely to bring ridicule or disgrace to the judiciary. A study found that of 27 Florida judges disciplined in the 1970s and 1980s, 24 came to the bench via elections. Three were appointed. "We know that judges who are elected are much more likely to be disciplined for their performance on the bench than those who are appointed," says Sally Spener, executive director of Common Cause Florida. …

I am just curious when everyone is starting their maternity leave? I am a high school phys ed. teacher and I am on my feet all day long and I have a 20 month at home. I was planning on working to my due date but I am so much more tired this time around. I know that being a teacher i have a bunch of days off in Nov and almost two weeks off at the end of January. I am just nervous if I end work early i will end up going late.
When is everyone stopping work?
I took Maternity leave at 36 weeks both my last pregnancies. I loved having the time off and relaxing at home, but there is only so many things to clean, do, and eventually relaxing gets uncomfortable. I think that i may try to work until at least 38-39 weeks.
I am a little scared since i had my girls at 37w1d and 39w exactly. Who knows
I am nervous it is going to be harder to be home with my 23 month old then it will be to be at work.
When are you due? I am not due until the 16th, So after xmas break I will be back at work for two weeks.
This time i plan to work up to 38 weeks.
November 18th for me is my last day. ill be 30 weeks, I cant wait!
Wife to Corey, married 07/30/2005
Mother to son Owen 05/03/2006
Mother to son Matthew 03/12/2010
I hope to work until I deliver (around 36-37 weeks), things could change and I could go on bed rest at some point, but I am hoping not too as that would cut into my maternity leave.
