Govt to continue secret anti-piracy talks
news The Federal Government would "closely examine" the High Court's judgement in the long-running copyright infringement case won by ISP iiNet over film and TV studios this morning, Federal Attorney-General Nicola Roxon said this afternoon, as she noted that closed-door talks held by her department with industry on the matter would continue.
The High Court this morning knocked back a final appeal by the studios, represented by the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft. The studios first took iiNet to court in 2009, claiming iiNet had "authorised" its users to download pirated movies and TV over the Internet. However, the court said today, iiNet had no ability to prevent its customers from infringing copyright, and copyright law was not suited to enforcing the laws of content owners through such platforms. Subsequently, AFACT said the loss illustrated that Australia's Government needed to step in and take action on the issue of Internet piracy.
"The Government will examine the High Court's decision closely," said Roxon in a brief statement in response issued this afternoon.
The news comes as the Federal Attorney-General's Department has over the past six months hosted a series of closed door meetings on the issue between ISPs like iiNet and rights-holder organisations such as AFACT, with industry groups such as the Communications Alliance also involved. Subsequent Attorneys-General (Roxon and her predecessor Robert McClelland) have emphasised their desire for an industry-led solution to the issue.
"Industry stakeholders have been meeting regularly during the last year to develop a code of conduct to address the issue of illegal downloading," Roxon added this afternoon. "The Attorney-General's Department will continue to facilitate these discussions and we hope that industry will continue to work together to find a range of solutions to illegal downloading."
However, the meetings held by the Attorney-General's Department have been less than transparent, and according to iiNet, have been going around in circles.
The Attorney-General's Department has used a series of complex legal arguments to deny the release of documents associated with the meetings under Freedom of Information laws — redacting, for example, an entire 14 pages of notes taken by a departmental staffer at the event and other four pages of notes taken by a senior staffer from Communications Minister Stephen Conroy's department. The moves have led to the Australian Greens filing a motion in the Senate requesting that the documents be released. In addition, representatives of consumer groups have been explicitly barred from attending the talks.
This afternoon, iiNet chief executive Michael Malone reportedly said his company might simply back away from the meetings altogether. "My preference would be to walk away now," he said at a press conference, according to iTNews.
Another key telco involved in the talks, Telstra, this afternoon said in an emailed statement that it remained open to constructive discussions with rights holders, the industry, consumer groups and Government to seek a response to this issue that "appropriately balances the interests of all stakeholders".
The sole organisation to publicly reveal any information about the talks has been iiNet. Recently, the ISP's regulatory chief Steve Dalby posted comments on Delimiter stating that there was a "massive" gap in the talks between what the ISP and content industries wanted. "Most, if not all of the discussions over the years have been conducted between the rights holders and the ISPs," he said. "These have been fruitless. The rights holders want all the benefits of remedial action, but want the ISPs to foot the bill. ISPs don't want to pay to protect the rights of third parties. The gap between the parties is considerable and unlikely to close."
Separately, a coalition of most of the nation's major ISPs last year proposed a scheme for handling Internet piracy which would see Australians issued with warning and educational notices after content holders provided evidence that they had breached their copyright online — and the door opened for ISPs to hand over user details to the content industry if they keep on pirating content online. At the time, AFACT declined to comment on the issue, citing the need for the iiNet trial to go ahead.
Consumer input needed
Today another group associated with copyright issues, the Australian Digital Alliance, which primarily represents universities, libraries and some Internet-focused organisations such as Yahoo and Google, said it didn't believe the battle between ISPs and the content sector was over yet, stating the High Court had "left open the possibility of a targeted legislative scheme to address unauthorised file sharing issues".
However, the group's chairman Derek Whitehead issued a warning that any legislative response to the High Court ruling must be carefully balanced and informed by the needs of consumers, as well as the content industries and ISPs.
"The Attorney-General's Department has been working on an industry solution with the ISPs and content industries for some time. Consumers should be included in these discussions, because consumers, as end users of copyright material stand to be greatest affected by any legislative or industry outcome," Whitehead said in a statement.
"The ADA encourages the Government to take wide consultation on this issue, and to ensure that consumer representatives are brought into the discussions," the ADA statement said. "A fundamental issue to be taken into account in any legislative or industry response is the lack of legitimate content available to consumers in Australia. More needs to be done to make content available in an affordable and accessible way."
The comments echo statements made in January by the Greens.
"What I find the most offensive about that, is that they locked the people out of the room that actually matter," Greens Communications Spokesperson, Senator Ludlam said at the time. "All of the writers, the creative artists, the performance people, they're not in there. The rights holders are in there. The end users, the consumers … us, are locked out of the room as well."
Ludlam said it was the "intermediaries" who were discussing the issue under the auspices of the Attorney-General's Department, who had been told to come up with something that was "not too offensive" for their corporate interests. "They've locked out the producers and consumers. The model which will be introduced in Australia, when we get to hear about it, will probably be stuffed and offensive," he added.

Have you ever thought these 'secret' talks is the Government giving rights-holders the opportunity to express their concerns and potential-solutions openly, without discussion being interrupted by privacy and open-internet advocates? I highly doubt that they're working together to craft new copyright laws to spring on the general public.
It's kinda like buying a house. The real-estate agent acts as the mediator between the seller and buyer. In private, listen to the opinion of one and then communicate it to the other. In the end, for the house to sell, both will have to come to an agreement.
It'd be nice to think that's the case, but the closed door negotiations of the Anti-Counterfeit Trade Agreement (ACTA) of which Australia had already signed with no public consumer groups present during negotiations leaves me with little faith in these closed door negotiations.
still wondering, why the f**** industry has that much pooooower!!!!!
Have you seen how much they donate to the Labor party?
One example
They look like they donate as much or more to the Libs as well…
Nothing like an each way bet.
There is only one sure-fire way of getting the laws you want, and that is to buy both sides.
Ban ALL political donations, one person one vote.
No different from Huawei showing special preveledges to Senior Coalition MP's.
You can buy legislation in this country, its wonderful. Democracy at its finest.
wonder how long before Australia sees it's own version of SOPA\PIPA
I do support a change in the law BUT whatneeds to happen is that you can only be charged if the content is avaliable in this country.
So if you don't release something here then it is fair game until it is released it forces content holders to make it available and only then should we be able to fine people..
The decision was right – but using it to justify IP theft is wrong.
IANAL but I think that the violation of the copyright holders rights is not actually theft as it is not covered by the Criminal Code
I don't think anyone is trying to use the iiNet case to justify abusing the rights if IP rights holders. However what a lot of people are saying to the rights holders is "if you want us to respect your property rights then you have to show us respect and stop price gouging on a regional basis and platform basis and make your IP easily available to everyone at a reasonable price."
If AFACT members listened to their customers the problem they have with "piracy" would greatly diminish.
Yeah, why would we use the iiNet case to justify it, it's much easier to justify by the actions of the copyright holders ; D
I want to see that movie at the same time as people in [whatever region]. I don't mind paying for it, actually I would like to pay for it, but you won't give me the chance.
I really don't care about "copyright issues". Your Regionalisation Scheme prevents me from seeing/listening unless I move house — guess what? I'll just download it. I would like to pay for it, but obviously that's too difficult for you.
Why can't we consumers/viewers have something like iTunes? Is that too much to ask? Is the technology too hard?
Come to our party, and watch piracy disappear.
"Come to our party, and watch piracy disappear."
Maybe they will, but maybe only after every possible avenue of maintaining a profitable status quo has been absolutely and completely cast by the roadside or bittorrent continues to grow and nobody walks into stores or rental stores anymore. When we dont buy music in a mainstream way and get our music from unsigned acts directly from the creator.
When the inbalance of power tips right the otherway to the creators/end users
Maybe only then will they admit defeat and admit that their customers were right.
If you're concerned about the Attorney-General's approach to this issue, her office can be contacted at email@example.com, or using the information at http://www.attorneygeneral.gov.au/Contacts/Pages/default.aspx.
Given that the industry seems to have an open door, one assumes that she is amenable to being contacted by ordinary Australian citizens.

The witch … the witch is back.
Christine "I'm not a witch" O'Donnell left her coven long enough to endorse Mitt Romney for president.
When asked about his penchant for flip-flopping, she said —- wait for it —- "he's been consistent since he changed his mind."
The guy fired from Newt Gingrich's staff in Iowa for bad-mouthing Mormonism must be thinking O'Donnell's endorsement of Romney made sense because they're both familiar with cults.
For his part, Romney embraced the endorsement. Maybe it's to prove Time magazine wrong that somebody likes him in the Republican Party.
O'Donnell is a serial losing candidate for Senate in Delaware and was an embarrassment to the GOP — and witches everywhere — with her disasterous campaign in 2010.
Maybe Mitt can pick her as a running mate. Their campaign slogan can be "rich and witch."
Romney needs some kind of magic to break that 23 percent favorability rating in the early primary states.
Maybe O'Donnelll can cast some sort of a spell over the electorate for the candidate of her choice. That'll be $10,000 a spell, Mitt.
Ironic her endorsement of Romney. One would think she'd go for Gingrich, what with the witches in "Macbeth" and their bubbling calderon with "eye of newt."
Imagine if "I'm not a witch. I'm you" endorsed President Obama. Conservative talk radio would call her a threat to Nancy Pelosi and accuse her of practicing voodoo to get the president re-elected.
It's hard out there for a Mormon —- or any guy or gal who isn't Protestant and wants to win the presidency.
We had only one Roman Catholic president in JFK, and he had to steal the election from Tricky Dicky in 1960 to win the White House. And look what happened to him.
God not only loves Republicans, he loves Protestants.
God also loves football. He lets football teams win when players praise be to him on high before, during and after the games.
His latest archangel is Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, who has had three consecutive come-from-behind wins. "Miracles" is the word some sportscasters toss about ever so loosely.
Tebow's latest "miracle" finish was Sunday against the Chicago Bears —- the favorite NFL team of the antichrist currently occupying our White House.
God turned his attention to the NFL in recent years. He lost faith in Notre Dame football because of all those Catholic priest sexual abuse scandals. There's that word Catholic again.
So God is making Tebow's team win because the QB —- and now some of his teammate disciples —- keep the faith.
How long before the GOP —- with help from the hypocrites at Fox News —- claim Tebow as one of their own? If they can get their lemmings to accept a witch, imagine what they can get away with having Tebow on their team.
Tebow, the former Florida Gator and Heisman Trophy winner, also made news during his collegiate career by incorporating Bible psalm numbers underneath his eyes in eyeblack.
What should political celebrities wear in eyeblack? Well….
1. President Obama: One Term
2. Rick Perry: Mind Meld
3. Newt Gingrich: Nothing Newt
4. Michele Bachmann: Fruity Pebbles
5. Jeb Bush: Draft Me
6. Ron Paul: Wake Me
7. Bill Clinton: Bubba Licious
8. Donald Trump: Hair of the Dog
9. Mitt Romney: Before Against
10: Sean Hannity: Stu Pedaso

Lecithin is needed by every cell in the body to help absorb the nutrients that the boby needs daily. It also contains a healthy amount of choline and inositol. Lecithin helps your body to flush the cholesterol fat and other fats out of the body with water instead of allowing it to build up. If you are like me and eat more than your share of fatty foods and you dont want high cholesterol or clogged arteries I highly recommend it. It works for me, I just had a complete health screen through my job and I have a Perfect bill of health other than being over weight which Im working on also.

I've noticed that at least 2 or more of the softgels break in the container and cause a big, sticky mess. I keep a napkin handy each time I get one out so I can wipe the pill off. I will probably not buy the Source Natural Lecithins again. I'll opt for another brand.

OOC: Gender male please
"Alright Flygon, not bad. I know you can do better, though." I yelled. Flygon grinned back at me, ready to show off its true power. But, since I didn't want to kill the little whale, I had to keep using weak moves. "Now, that thing is sending a water pulse at you. What are wwe gonna do? Send another sonic boom straight through that water sphere, shredding it to pieces. SONICBOOM, FULL POWER!"
Flygon immediately responded to my command by bringing his wings back, and immediately flapping them forward as fast as he could, sending a shock wave, much bigger than the last, straight towards the water pulse.
"That's it, Flygon! Great job! Keep it up, and this thing will be caught in no time flat!" I encouraged Flygon, as it flapped its wings faster to create a shockwave even larger, trying to not only destroy the water pulse, but to accomplish what the last shockwave couldn't by making that wailmer go spinning and flying around, doing some severe damage.

I could get a one year old farkled Tenere/Tiger/F800GS, keep my DRZ400S, upgrade my boys PW50 to a KTM65, get me a nice used MX bike to ride the tracks with him AND have a bunch of money left over for farkles, gear, taxes, insurance, gas and tires!
Besides, I'm not famous for keeping bikes too long and depreciation stinks!
If a Tiger, F800, or S10 is the path you take, do you fear the potential that you might end up wanting to come back to a GS anyway? And if you come back to a Big GS, wouldnt it make sense to just get what your gut tells you you want (white LC goodness)?

U.S. Encounters Trade Problems in China; Report on WTO Compliance Cites Agriculture, Intellectual-Property concerns.(BUSINESS)
Byline: Jeffrey Sparshott, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
China's trade rules covering agriculture, intellectual-property rights and services have "generated significant problems" for U.S. firms during the country's first year of membership in the World Trade Organization, according to a report released yesterday by the Bush administration.
The report also acknowledged that China has made significant progress since becoming a WTO member one year ago.
"While the efforts of China's leadership to implement China's WTO commitments should be recognized, the administration also found a number of causes for serious concern," the report said.
Congress requires annual reports on China's implementation of WTO obligations. The U.S. Trade Representative's Office complied by providing a 55-page document released yesterday afternoon.
China joined the WTO after 15 years of negotiations with the United States and other WTO members.
"The area of agriculture proved to be especially contentious between the United States and China," the report said, citing concerns related to U.S. exports of bioengineered crops, Chinese quotas and an inspection process that hinders sales.
With intellectual-property rights, China made significant improvements to its framework of laws and regulations but has not effectively enforced those laws, the report said. …

Best Seat in the House
Photography, sports and life as seen through the lens of Seattle Times photographer Rod Mar.

They're Poets and They Know It.
Posted by Rod Mar
Seems even when I'm not shooting sports, I'm either shooting in a sporting venue (like the Dalai Lama at KeyArena or Qwest Field), or I'm shooting a competition of some sort.
Last month (okay, TWO months ago), the competition was a youth poetry slam.
Why two months ago? Well, sometimes it just takes that long to get stuff into the paper. Seriously, feature stories do have longer "shelf life" than news stories, and this falls into that category.
Youth Speaks, a local non-profit, has been holding a competition for young poets vying in slams to be part of a five-member team who will travel to Washington, D.C. later this month for a national contest.
On this night, 12 contestants took to the darkened stage and stepped into the spotlight in front of a panel of judges:

One by one the young poets read, no -- performed, no -- that's not right either, LIVED their poetry in timed segments. Some were eliminated after each round until only three were left to advance.
Arianne Bergman referenced the old song "Fly Me to the Moon" during her poetry, proving that the youth of today can appreciate the words of the past:

Mikeya Jackson-Harper used body language to get her point across as she took her turn beneath the lights:

When shooting an event that features person after person standing in the same environment, I always look for small details that can add to the visual impact of the story. It not only adds depth to the storytelling, it breaks up the visual monotony:
(Canon EOS 1D Mark III, EF 70-200mm/f2.8 lens @ 200mm, ISO 2000, 1/60 sec, f2.8)
Ronnie Reynolds captured the attention of the audience with his raw, edgy poetry. His body language alternately suggested rage and defiance along with solitude and insecurity.
(Canon EOS 1D Mark III, EF 70-200mm/f2.8 lens @ 110mm, ISO 2000, 1/100 sec, f2.8)

(Canon EOS 1D Mark III, EF 70-200mm/f2.8 lens @ 120mm, ISO 2000, 1/100 sec, f2.8)
Despite the competitive nature of the slam, everyone in attendance cheered openly for one another. If a line was forgotten, the listeners rubbed their hands together creating a whooshing noise that served as encouragement for a momentarily lost poet. As Reynolds forgot his place, he joined the crowd in rubbing his hands as he searched for the words he'd lost.
(Canon EOS 1D Mark III, EF 16-35mm/f2.8 lens @ 16mm, ISO 1600, 1/40 sec, f2.8)
Reynolds, Bergman and Jackson-Harper all advanced to the next round and will compete on May 18.
Here's a link to the story and more information.

Do you ever light your photos? Here it looks like you've bumped up the ISO, slowed the shutter and opened the aperture to shoot in low ambient light. I'm wondering if shooting available light was a decision made on principle, for aesthetic reasons, out of convenience...or what?

That's my hand, yo!
haha. I told my brother I was going to be in the Seattle Times, and he scoured the article looking for some quotes by me, couldn't find it, and called me saying, "You're not really in here, Mary," And I said,
"That's my hand on the front page! This is huge! You can see my poetry, too!"
He replied,
"You have a famous hand?"
haha. Thank you for the excellent shots.

The Baltimore Orioles are happy to be home. Chris Davis is probably happy to be seeing the Tampa Bay Rays again. Davis turned in a dominant season-opening series against Tampa Bay and will look to help the Orioles hand the Rays a season-high fourth straight defeat Tuesday night. Only Colorado has played as few home games this season as Baltimore (6-6), which lost two of three to Minnesota at Camden Yards from April 5-7. The Orioles, who began 2013 by winning two of three in Tampa Bay, immediately left after the Twins series and split six games against Boston and the Yankees. "We've been on a two-month-plus road trip, it looks like," said manager Buck Showalter after Sunday's 3-0 loss. "So, after Tampa, Boston and New York, we're looking forward to seeing some friendly faces." Davis went homerless for the first time in a series over the weekend, going 3 for 11 with six strikeouts as the Orioles lost two of three to the Yankees. "It feels as if we haven't been home since last ye...

New standards for subject matter as varied as reading and theater were unanimously adopted by the state school board Thursday.
The revisions of Colorado's 14 educational standards were designed to require students to dig deeper and think more strategically. They also will require a new test to measure how well students are learning.
"As of today, we have the most modern and up-to-date standards in the country," said Bob Schaffer, chairman of the State Board of Education.
Colorado first created Model Content Standards in 1994. They list the most important skills and concepts students must master at each grade level to be successful after high school.
Although math and science standards were revised in the past five years, the others were between 7 and 15 years old, according to the Colorado Department of Education.
"The new standards are internationally benchmarked," said Dwight Jones, Colorado's education commissioner.
Policymakers borrowed from countries such as Singapore and Finland, which have high rates of graduation and clear, concise standards, as well as from states such as Maryland and Virginia.
"They ate our lunch every year," said Jo O'Brien, assistant education commissioner for standards and assessments. "Those two states were always superior."
Senate Bill 212, passed and signed into law in 2008, required the state to develop new standards for preschool through secondary education by this month.
The bill also requires a new system to replace the Colorado Student Assessment Program to measure how well students meet the standards.
A committee has been meeting on how to develop that new test, but the state needed the standards in place first, Jones said.
"All the work of the last 18 months is coming to a head," he said. "We're pretty excited about it. There has been such great work done. We keep saying, 'First the socks, then the shoes.' The assessment is going to have some unique changes. We have to look at post-workforce readiness."
Schools will have two years to work with their teachers to implement the changes to the content standards. In the end, education will look different, O'Brien said.
"In the old days, students would have to memorize the capitals of 50 states," she said.
Now that the Internet makes that information easily available to students, they will be asked to think more critically, like about the economy or trade practices of a certain state.

Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal-derived products with an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of sentient animals. Dietary vegans (or strict vegetarians) refrain from consuming all animal related products. This means meat, fish, chicken, eggs, dairy products and all other animal-derived substances. A trip to the supermarket however, often turns into a nightmare for vegans, because of the often confusing ingredient labeling on many of the items.

Although chalk doesn't leave a permanent mark, the message displayed in a variety of colors is a powerful one.
Students at Columbia City High School gathered to decorate the pavement leading to the school's entrance with words and drawings in support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Chalk It Up has been a county-wide campaign as students across Whitley County have etched sayings on sidewalks at numerous schools advocating a stop to violence.
Pictured is Maddison Berlin working on her chalk drawing.
COLUMBIA CITY — The thought of saying goodbye to those she has worked with for so long brings mixed emotions for Jackie Hake, evident in teary eyes.
For 18 years, Hake has been the executive director for The Woodlands, a county-wide center servicing the area's senior community.
"This has been my life," Hake said. "I've been here to witness some of the biggest successes of this organization. Although I am ready to retire, it's hard to say goodbye."
Officially Hake will retire at the end of the year, but she is already making plans with her family.
COLUMBIA CITY — When a park at Tri-Lakes had to have its bathroom facilities shutdown due to a contaminated well, Whitley County Commissioners proposed a new owner for the property.
"This is the only park still under the county's umbrella," said Commissioner Don Amber at a recent meeting. "I guess I would rather see the township take it over."
After discussing the possibility of the park becoming the property of Thorncreek Township, its trustee, Gene Heckman, said there was interest from both his township board and the Tri-Lakes Association.
COLUMBIA CITY — A woman accused of felony neglect of a dependent in connection with a local sex abuse case had a trial date set in Whitley County Circuit Court Monday.
Joy Hughes, 37, of Kendallville, will stand trial Jan. 14 and 15, 2014. The final pretrial conference will be Jan. 6, 2014.
Hughes' attorney is Brad Baber. Felony neglect of a dependent is a Class C felony, which carries a sentence range of two to eight years if she is found guilty.
Concerning setting Indiana's educational standards, whose opinion should carry the most weight:
Northern Heights Elementary School is working on it's fitness challenge, which began Monday.
A one-mile school-wide run/walk around the school grounds launched the challenge. A convocation with the Mad Ants, Fort Wayne's professional basketball team, was held where students were challenged to be active for 30 minutes a day, for 30 days.
Those students reaching the goal will receive a free ticket to a Mad Ants game.
"Go Mad Ants...Go NHES students," said Jake Hoag, NHES principal.
Pictured is Chase Jones, a third grader at NHES and "Mad Ant," the Fort Wayne Mad Ants mascot.
COLUMBIA CITY — A group of people donated a parcel of land for the expansion of a trail in Columbia City.
The Friends of the Eel River Trail met Aug. 7 and unanimously voted to gift a parcel of land to the city to help with the expansion of the Eel River Trail.
When completed, the trail will span from South Whitley to Churubusco, passing through Columbia City.
The parcel is west of Line Street and north of Vine Street in Columbia City.
Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel said the city appreciates the donation.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's fire department has found another way to give back to the community at Christmas time.
After more than 125 years of the Christmas Eve candy and orange giveaway at the Courthouse, the department is now helping children with the Toys for Tots program.
The department is partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves under the guidance of the Leatherneck Coffee Club of Northern Indiana, which was founded in Columbia City in 2001.
Since then, thousands of children in need have received toys at Christmas.
COLUMBIA CITY — A Columbia City man pleaded not guilty to burglary and theft charges Monday.
Stephen "Nathan" Lawrence, 23, was arrested Oct. 2 for those charges, as well as counts of residential entry and criminal mischief.
According to police, Lawrence allegedly broke into his parents' home and stole items from their residence.
Lawrence will have his next pretrial conference in Whitley County Circuit Court Nov. 4 at 9 a.m.
COLUMBIA CITY — With 2014 being the final year for Burnworth Memorial Pool, which city officials opted to close due to financial strains, the community is working together to discuss the future of aquatics — both recreational and competitive.
An Aquatics Task Force has been formed to assess options, and Whitley County Consolidated Schools addressed its needs at Monday's Board of Trustees meeting.
Tim Bloom is part of the Aquatics Task Force speaking for the school board and the district's swim teams.

Keri: It isn't easy to apply uniformly. If the color gets on your face it is very difficult to get off. Color doesn't stay as well as advertised ("technology that lasts up to 24 hours").

Keep telling yourself that and maybe it will come true.
RIP Jacob Schlottke; KR1963 and rpayton
Haaaavaaaaad sucks. Don't draft the Crimson Tide. It cost me all of my depth with two of them when they both ended up getting injured or just not showing up. I held on to them thinking they were coming back at the beginning of the new semester.
Caputo and Flanagan....curse you both. (Just kidding.)
Oh yeah, don't trade with LoSt either because he likes to guilt you in to taking your wrestlers back when he doesn't like the trade two weeks later.
Other than that, its a blast.
"Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they speak."
pshhhhhhh that is pure libel and you sir are a fiend
Gold is an idiot.
I've started my own draft prep, so here are a few house keeping things that have come up.
As I'm sure you've all seen I've sent pm's out to everyone to verify cell phone contact information for the draft. I'll also likely be harassing you through pm, and email.
Major Dates
Final keeper choice is due on 10/1. The draft order will be out on this date as well.
The draft will begin on 10/8 and will run until it ends.
First scoring period will begin on 10/31.
Supplemental will start on 12/19 which is the day after Reno, we should be able to get it in before the Scuffle and Midlands the next weekend.
Our West Coast tournament is going to be switching from the Best of the West to the Fullerton Open.
I can't find any information about the Best of the West so far this year, and looking at last year's brackets the Fullerton Open was a tougher tournament anyway.
metcalf....final answer
I wish I could kick Matt Dragon in the balls. In his Dragonballz.

The AUSA hosts the Army Aviation Symposium this week, which gives me the perfect excuse to ask one of my favorite questions:
What will it take to get US military helicopter technology out of its long and barren rut?
I believe the last all-new aircraft designed, built and fielded for the US military was the UH-60A Black Hawk. The army spends about $3 billion a year on helicopters, but all of that money pays for derivatives of technology originally deployed between 30 and 50 years ago, or militarized versions of civil helicopters.
Arguably no other sector of advanced US military technology – fighters, airlifters, UAVs, ships, fighting vehicles, missiles, satellites, etc – has tolerated a longer and deeper drought of deployable innovation.
Think about it: the last all-new aircraft designed for the army was the Sikorsky/Boeing RAH-66 Comanche, and that program was cancelled in 2004 after only two prototypes were built.
The Comanche would have been the first helicopter to introduce stealth design characteristics, but the fundamental limitations of helicopter performance – speed, range and payload – have been stuck in a paralyzing rut since the late-1960s.
Of course, there are a few programs in the very early stages of concept design that may offer a solution, but each faces an agonizing and perilous path to delivering a finished product sometime after 2015.
Namely, they are the payload-limit-busting Joint Heavy Lift (JHL) aircraft (post-2015) and the speed-barrier-busting Joint Multi-Role (JMR) aircraft (post-2020).
Elements within the army want to launch an X-Plane flyoff for JHL starting in 2010, but that project will face intense competitive pressure. The alternatives come from the USAF, and they range from the futuristic AJACS concept to near-off-the-shelf derivatives of the C-17, A400M or C-130J.
Requirements and technologies for JMR will continue to coalesce over the next five years or so. But the defense industry is already jockeying to be in competitive position.
Sikorsky plans to fly the speedy X2 demonstrator this year (the original first flight date was postponed in December).
Boeing is working with Piasecki on the X-49 compound Black Hawk. Boeing's real interest is to apply the technology to the AH-64 Apache, either as a JMR-lite if the army starts pinching its pennies, or as a testbed for an all-new platform.
Another, more near-term, idea is to deploy the technology on the H-1 Cobra, to serve as an armed escort for the US Marine Corps' MV-22 fleet. Sikorsky's X-2 will likely also battle for the contract if this requirement emerges over the next few years.
The ground for greater leaps in technical sophistication is being prepared by DARPA, which is supporting BellBoeing's evolving concept for a "folding tiltrotor" or "tilting stop-rotor". Boeing also is working with DARPA to develop the concept for a new hybrid aircraft design called "Rotor Disk".
Will army aviation finally break out of its 30-year rut?

What the Army should do is resurrect the UCAR, this was one ambitious program that would lead the way. The Army tends to shoot itself in the foot when it comes down to high tech/cutting edge weaponry. I recall in the 80′s there was the Aquila UAV which would have transformed ISR almost 2 decades earlier than it did, however the bean counters struck. That looks like what happened with the UCAR and thus the death of a new airframe for helo operators.
One thing the US Army Aviation community should be harping for is Angelfire, the helo mounted counter-RPG system. Do we need to have more Blackhawk Down situations before the military realizes RPG's are more of a threat than IR guided man portable SAM's??!

The famed baths of Saratoga are well known. Since the mid-1800s, people have believed Saratoga Spring's natural mineral water has healing powers, and is effective as a preventive health treatment. Gideon Putnam Resort has been offering mineral baths since 1935.
"We are happy to be able to work with the OPRHP to bring 100-percent mineral bathwater to our spa," said Michael Barnes, general manager for Delaware North Companies at Gideon Putnam Resort. "For years, Gideon Putnam has been sharing the region's natural resources by offering fresh mineral baths, and this new option will only further enhance our customers' experience and connection to the story of Saratoga Spa State Park."
In its bid for the management contract at Gideon Putnam Resort, Delaware North emphasized the importance of restoring and maintaining the resort's obvious historic and geographic charm, and sharing the property's many stories with guests.
"In addition to the conversion of the baths, we are adding graphic panels in the relaxation rooms that tell the story of the springs and help guests connect with the place they are visiting," said Barnes.
A plan is in place to upgrade treatment rooms and lobby dEcor; add design enhancements, and new coffee, tea and lunch services; and create a solitary relaxation room that will include a calming water feature. Delaware North also plans to fund a multi-million-dollar remodel of the hotel and conference center that will focus on the lobby, dining facilities and guestrooms.""

Love these rash guards!
Brianne K.
from Colorado Springs, CO
on 7/15/2013
Have bought this rash guard in several colors over the past couple years for my teenage daughter. These rash guards were life savers during a phase when we had trouble finding a good-fitting swim suit for swim practices that was modest enough up top and before/during acne treatment when extra coverage was desired. Now she has a proper style suit and her skin issues have been addressed, my daughter is no longer using these. However, if we ever needed a rash guard in the future (for outdoor sun or snorkeling protection) I'd not hesitate to buy these O'Neill products. Advice to other buyers, though......they do stretch out A LOT, so it's important buy a size that feels very snug to start with!

Too Small!
from San Francisco, CA
on 3/31/2013
I probably would have loved this rash guard if it was sized correctly. I'm 5"0" and 115lbs and ordered an XS or S/S women's size and it's definitely tight. I don't expect to exchange it, but I have doubts it's going to stretch more in the water. It's tight on the torso, but not uncomfortable. The problem is the neck/shoulders/arms--which makes it feel constricting and hard to take off. It covers over a bikini very well though!

long lasting, great fit

I use this product in cold pool waters to stay warm! It lasts for a year of swimming 3X per week. It fit well and did the job.
Runs REALLY small!!!
from HARLEYVILLE, SC
on 6/22/2012
This is a really nice top, beautiful color, nice material, wish it would have fit! Beware, it runs REALLY small, I had to send mine back.
great feel but not true to size

my size is a small or extra small, and this product was much too small for me. I am going to go for a medium
Awesome fit!

from Asheville, NC
on 6/9/2012
The fabric is heavy enough to support a small chest, so you can wear it alone. Cut is great, no rolling or pulling. I want 5 more!
Very snug fit
from NJ
on 3/29/2012
I wear a size 4 and bought a large after sending back a Small & Medium. Wore it in Mexico all week, and wish I had bought XL!!! It's a great top, keeps the sun off and feels great in the water, but it's really hard to get on and off because it fits so snugly. Will buy a larger size next time. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the sizing---doesn't match up with the size chart.
Sarah H.
from St Paul, MN
on 3/24/2012
I ordered a large and was glad I did. I usually wear between a small and medium, more so a medium right now. I realize that rash guards are meant to be tight, but I'm not sure I could have gotten a medium over my chest. I'm a nursing mom, so they are pretty big right now, and the large was still snug enough. Wish it came in more colors, seams like the perfect shirt for paddle boarding.
from tyler, tx
on 3/7/2012
fits great and last a long time...the only brand I will ever wear.
Pink one fits, blue one doesn't......
from Colorado Springs, CO
on 1/31/2012
I ordered this Oneill rashguard in two colors, same size (size adult S) for my 12yo daughter. However, the Fox Pink one fits comfortably, but the Aruba blue one is way too snug. That's frustrating since they SHOULD fit the same. She really likes the Aruba blue color best and it looks best on her so it's quite disappointing. We'll keep the pink one and send the blue one back. Perhaps we can get a replacement that fits like the pink one??!!BTW, I'm not terribly impressed with the quality or workmanship on these tops. The cut across the shoulders looks like it would be uncomfortable (doesn't look that way so much in the picture), but my daughter says she likes it anyway.
too small
rachael a.

Way to small. I bought 2 rash guards and the oneil one is way to small but the dakine one fits perfect. It runs really small. Get a size up, I wish I would've listened to more of the reviews, now I have to return it.
from Houston, TX
on 1/5/2012
The neck opening is too small, almost child size. Returning the product for exchange one size up. But the color is awesome and true to the picture.
Could have been better...
from Maple, ON
on 10/17/2011
I never knew how tight rash guards felt so I am definitely not use to the fitting.
Just right
Michaele S.
from Ojai, CA
on 10/17/2011
After reading all the comments about it running small, I went for a L (I've always worn a small or med - am 5'9" and 148 pounds) and it's a bit on the large side, but not enough for me to send it back... am very happy with it and it makes a huge difference as the weather is turning a little nippy outside. I will definitely buy this again.
great product
from Mississippi

Very comfortable and great for water exercise
Nice but tight
from Homestead, FL
on 8/5/2011
I am a medium to small in most tops and I know this is supposed to fit to the body, but I almost couldn't breathe. I sent it back and am exchanging it for a larger size.
Runs small
from Denver, CO
on 7/26/2011
I am 5'8", 145 and ordered a large. It wasn't constraining, but it was too tight for middle aged curves.
Way Too Small
Wendy B.
from LA, CA
on 7/7/2011
I wear a size 8 top approximately. I ordered the Large and the X-Large based on the reviews. I started with the X-Large and it was way too small. I did manage to get it on but it was difficult to get off since it was so tight. I ordered 2 of these and 3 other different ones to try to find one that would work. There are other rashguards that you can buy here that feel true to size. The one I ended up keeping is a Medium. So you really have to try a few to find one that works. The blue color was very pretty.
Yes, too snug
from IN
on 5/29/2011
Overall, I like this rash guard to match my swim shorts and it is much more modest than most swimwear. I normally wear a misses S or M and I originally ordered a L in this rash guard and had to return it for an XL! I'm 5'7" and weigh 120lbs and am a breastfeeding mom and therefore do not want it too skin tight. The XL in this style works out fine for me.

Mental health advocates and service providers cringe at what budget cuts portend for their charges – as if the stigma of mental illness isn't enough to create political antipathy. Anyone who gets around these cities can see the fruits of mental illness in a wide variety of societal outcasts – rage, drug use, homelessness, and crimes for which their mental illness is no defense.

The LCSD has also invited the 18 District Councils, National Sports Associations and community sport organisations, as well as privately run sports clubs and health centres, to organise free activities and offer free facilities for the public to enjoy on August 3 in support of the event.

I'll check into that! It's funny, I was kinda nervous about the fact that there are going to be nudes in my illustration class, I mean It's one thing seeing them in an anatomy book but it is quite another when they're live...in three dimensions...breathing. I was afraid that I'd blush or get so nervous I giggled then everyone would be angry at me for being immature, but I'm just a little shy, you know? Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm over it and I'll be okay...You go there? That's awesone, how do you like the school and the instructors?

I have been very happy with your support you have given me in the ESD shoe orders I needed to get in. I need smaller list to choose from to streamline my orders and you sent me the package I needed. Our people now have a list of quality shoes to pick from and minimizes my time spent. I would and have recommended Working Persons shoes."

I, too, feared for Eddie the moment he deviated from Nucky's instructions. I was worried he would die, but being taken in by Hoover's goons is almost just as bad.
I was quite surprised by Rothstein's behavior in this episode because it was a side of him we haven't seen, but I like the twist of Nucky deciding to dump Rothstein's ass and immediately making a deal with Meyer instead.
I loved the adventures of Van Alden and the Capone Brothers. If they ever want to do a spin-off, this is what they should focus on. Or Richard Takes on the World. Either one. Speaking of which, no Richard this week but I guess he's still on the road.
no Margaret. Huh.

|This is a very nice Austrian Majolica style tobacco jar or humidor in the shape of a nut with a brown pipe on top. It is in greens and browns and has a top in darker hues. The top is adorned with a dark brown pipe which is echoed in a vine or branch that runs around the rim of the lid and shoots halfway down the jar. A leaf branches off of it.
