Unnamed Teammate Called Santonio 'Cancer'
Apparently Santonio's act yesterday was the culmination of a lot of frustration with him by his teammates this season. One Jet has publicly made one of the harshest comments anyone can level in the current sports phrase lexicon. My Santonia was called the dreaded "c word" by one of his teammates anonymously.
"He quit a long time ago," one Jet, who requested anonymity, said. "He's a cancer."
According to a source, many players felt Holmes "checked out" a few weeks ago. He was not showing the same practice habits and did not seem interested in the remainder of the season, even as they fought for their playoff lives.
Take those comments and think back to the Eagles game. The lack of ball control, the stupid end zone dance … it takes on a whole new light.
So do the comments that Sanchez made this past week to his team about spending extra time after practice. I can guarantee Kerley and Keller logged the time … maybe that's why he was actually effective in the game. Did Holmes? Doubtful. Maybe this is revisionist, but it might be that Sanchez was talking to everyone, but really was trying to cajole Santonio into logging extra time. Who knows, who really cares anything this frittata does anymore …
The real issue of course is that the Jets might not be able to do anything with him. As it looks right now, the Jets stand to take an $8.5 million cap hit should they cut him, so there's little chance that the Jets can cut, or even trade him without it costing them a fortune.
I'd expect the Jets to mend fences with this trainwreck, because it might be the only thing the team can do. Of course, for Santonio, there's no incentive to do anything positive … he's going to get paid either way, and he knows that. Right now, this guy is a necessary evil for them …

text: Often overlooked as a great seller, nipple rings are more common than some may think. We pride ourselves on our selection of pierced and non-pierced wholesale nipple rings. All our nipple rings are made of a base metal and plated in a rhodium (platinum) 3 layer finish. In the case of pierced nipple rings, we use a standard 5/8"straight barbell that is 14 gauge and crafted in 316L surgical stainless steel. Our unique line of non-pierced nipple rings are very popular and are simply slipped over the nipple. The pressure put on the nipple causes the nipple swell slightly enough to keep the piece COMFORTABLY in place. Our wholesale nipple ring selection is broad so you are sure to find something that your nipple ring customers will like.

When the fight started against Agenda 21, those of us working to expose it were largely ignored by the main stream media and even the established Conservative movement and its media. Too far out there, they said, to be taken seriously.
Then, as more and more Americans began to experience the dire effects of Sustainable Development in their daily lives, suddenly our message began to take hold. Today, thousands of Americans have taken up the fight. And anti-Agenda 21 activists are storming planning meetings, demanding answers. State legislatures and even some county and city governments are passing legislation against it. It seems the Agenda 21 fight is everywhere.
So, now, proponents of the Sustainable Development policy are alarmed and working feverishly to counter our claims that such controls over local development and energy policy have their roots in international policy; in particular, our claims that these planning policies come from the UN's Agenda 21 that was introduced to the world at the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992.
Their most often-used description of Agenda 21 is an "innocuous, 20-year-old document that has no enforcement power." Continuously we hear that local planning programs, especially from such groups like the American Planning Association (APA), have no connection to Agenda 21 or the UN. It's all local — or as the APA says in its document, "Glossary for the Public," "There is no hidden agenda." In its "Agenda 21: Myths and Facts" document found on the APA website, the group goes to extreme measures to distance itself and its policies from Agenda 21, specifically saying "The American Planning Association has no affiliation regarding any policy goals and recommendations of the UN."
Well, then it would be interesting to hear the APA explain information found in one of its own documents from 1994. The document was an APA newsletter to its members in Northern California (San Francisco Area). The article was a commentary entitled "How Sustainable Is Our Planning?" by Robert Odland.

I am from the Midlands of South Carolina. I love being outside! I enjoy hiking, backpacking, golfing, disc golfing, kayaking, wakeboarding, skiing and snowboarding, playing tennis and softball, running, and working out at the gym. I try to go hiking at least once a month, but sometimes I go more often. The closest mountains are 2.5 hours from me, so I am not able to go as often as I'd like. I have been backpacking for about four years now. I primarily hike in Western NC, but I also venture to North Georgia, East Tennessee, Southwest and Central Virginia, and Upstate SC. My husband and I got married in 2011 in Yosemite National Park. We spent our honeymoon in YNP and in Mammoth Lakes. That was the best trip of my life!
Favorite Backcountry Spots:
Yosemite National Park and the Ansel Adams Wilderness are my top overall favorites, but my favorite East Coast spots are Max Patch Bald, Black Balsam Knob, and Linville Gorge in NC, Grayson Highlands State Park in VA, Roan Highlands and Great Smoky Mountains National Park in TN, and Jones Gap State Park in SC.

Jets Sign Preseason Rushing Leader RB Marcus Mason and Squad Safety James Ihedigbo
Well … looks like I got every single possible move wrong. Not one right. There ends my storied career as a GM. The Jets have signed RB Marcus Mason from the Baltimore practice squad and promoted practice squad Safety James Ihedigbo to the active roster.
Here's my thoughts on the moves:
Marcus Mason RB (Youngstown State) — I am THRILLED at this signing. Mason was the 2008 preseason leader in rushing yards for the Redskins. With guys like Clinton Portis, Ladell Betts, Rock Cartwright, the Skins had an embarrassment of riches, so Mason lost his job and the Skins signed Shaun Alexander. Even during the discussion of Alexander, the Skins were in deliberations to bring Mason back … I know Alexander is D-O-N-E, but to agonize over which player is a great sign of his promise. With Mason, the Jets also have Ratliff and Clowney (all players who did well in the preseason) on their roster. The Outsiders did a great article on preseason leaders and how they project that's a good read if you want to know a little about Mason. Mason is a stout 5-9 220, so he's probably similar in build to Chatman. He might have some fumbling issues to look out for though. You can watch some of his college highlights here. Losing Chatman might end up been a blessing in disguise if this kid's upside proves worth the payoff.
James Ihedigbo (Jets Practice Squad) — Eric Smith has shown two things this season: that he's not consistent, nor is he healthy enough to play this year. Ihedigbo is a guy the Jets have been carrying on and off since last year. Ihedigbo needed to bulk up some as a rookie and did. He's 6'1″ and added the lean muscle to play in the 215+ range. He's extremely smart and was born in Nigeria. If the Jets have one guy on their roster who could project to being a future starter at Safety next to Rhodes, it's Ihedigbo.

The first choice of the world's leading symphonies.
The world renowned Chau gong adds depth and special effects to a wide range of musical venues. Its one-piece cast, hand-hammered construction is crafted using century-old traditions.
The Chinese people have used gongs as a ritual instrument for thousands of years. The deep tones clear the air before special events. The unique sound of each style of gong is used to signify a different kind of event. The Chau Gong is used to announce the arrival of a government official, warning people to clear the street, much as a police siren is used today to lead a procession.
You will appreciate the deep, reverberating sounds and creative opportunities these cymbals offer. Try combining your talent with a Wuhan gong and you will be amazed at what you'll create!

Product Details
UVS100™ Silver Heat Shield (UV11091SV) by Covercraft®, 1 Piece. Protect your interior from damaging UV rays and reduce the interior temperature. This sun shade unfolds in an instant so you can position it across your windshield, and then just fold down your sun visors to hold it in place.
- Protects your interior from damaging ultraviolet rays
- Reduces interior temperature
- Triple laminate construction
- Foam core center acts as an insulator
- Outside reflective surface and soft felt surface inside
- Easy-to-use, just unfold, place on your windshield and retain with sun visors
- Accordion folds for easy storage
- Fabric made in the USA
- Backed by a 90-day warranty
Over time, harmful UV rays from the sun can fade your dash, seats, and other interior components. Plastic and vinyl dashboards can also develop cracks from exposure to the sun. UV rays can dry out leather as well and cause it to crack, requiring expensive repairs. Sunlight raises the temperature of your interior, which contributes to the drying out of interior components, and also makes the interior temperature unbearable, especially in the summertime. Such heat can make your seats uncomfortable when you first get in your vehicle, and makes your A/C work harder to bring the temperature down, wasting gas.
To prevent further interior damage and reduce interior temperatures, you need a Covercraft UVS100 Ultraviolet Shield Sun Shade. When you park your car, this sun shade is placed behind your windshield and held in place by the sun visors. Its triple laminate construction presents a reflective surface to the outside to deflect damaging ultraviolet rays, while the soft felt inside surface is gentle to your interior. Both fabrics are laminated to a foam core center, which acts as an insulator to help keep your interior cool.
The UVS100 Ultraviolet Shield Sun Shade is easy to use. It quickly unfolds so it can be easily positioned on the windshield, and when you're ready to drive, the accordion folds allow it to be quickly folded and stored away. Each sun shade is crafted to perfectly fit the shape of the windshield, depending on the particular vehicle application, and each is available in your choice of colors. Plus, for your maximum convenience, Covercraft offers an optional storage bag that is specially designed to protect your sun shade when it's not in use.49.99Brand: Covercraft Part Number: UV11091SV UPC: 883890530303

Read: Henrik Lundqvist Is The Islanders Most Hated Player
In The Hockey News, they look at each team in the league and decide which current player is the most hated by that team's fans.
For the Islanders, that player is Henrik Lundqvist.
They write "Maybe fans hate Henrik Lundqvist because they look in their own team's net and see the oft-injured Rick DiPetro taking up valuable cap space. Maybe it's because Lundqvist had a 2007 run-in with an Isles ice girl trying to clear the snow around his net. Regardless, the suave goalie always will get a rough reception at Nassau-and, soon enough, at Barclays."
Lundqvist is 13-7-1 in his career at the Nassau Coliseum.

Brilliant slippers, my 15 month old loves these and they do stay on! They also grip to wooden and tiled floors very well.

Bought the 1-2 year frog socks for my little boy who is 15 months old but they were too big (especially as he was just beginning to walk). However I really liked the design and they looked really great quality so ended up buying a second pair (foxes) at the smaller size. These are a snug fit but ideal for those early days of walking. Really like the product. No problem with shipping either.

Nice bright design. Fit really nicely. Easy to get on and off and have a non slip sole. Perfect.

Lovely but size 0-6 too small for my 4 month year old
on Thursday, July 09, 2015
Really pleased with these, good quality and perfect for my child who although isn't walking yet, needs more than simple socks when he's in his wheeled walker or jumperoo.
on Monday, July 06, 2015
I bought these in 12-18 and they're small sizing in my opinion. Lovely print but when I take them off my little one,his feet are literally navy blue from the material inside of the slippers rubbing off on his little sweaty feet! Still gorgeous though,fab for the price I paid in the sale.
on Saturday, July 04, 2015
Love these! Stay on my little boys feet and the socks stay up too. I also bought the fox and monkey ones in the next size up. Great fit and good quality :)
on Friday, July 03, 2015
Great product really comfortable for baby and they stay on really well, I bought these for my daughter and they look great so they are pretty unisex.
on Tuesday, June 30, 2015
i love these slipper socks! I have Frog, monkey and fox. They are complimented on all the time. They are a perfect compromise when you don't want to put your little ones feet in 'proper' shoes just let but want something more than socks. At 9 months, I don't want to try to get my sons little feet into harder shoes just yet (not sure he'd let me!) but these are so comfortable and easy to get on. For older children I imagine these would be great indoors. Just be careful with sizing though - my little man does have big feet but we are in 18-24. Might be worth going up a size if you're not sure. They don't have to be a very snug fit.

Brilliant, really good for keeping little feet cosy when learning to crawl and walk. My little boy just loves the frog motif, giving him an extra excuse to play with his toes!!! I've bought extra pairs in bigger sizes so he has them as he gows.
on Monday, May 11, 2015
These slippers are very good quality. They are the second pair I have bought , they are very nice and warm and my daughter doesnt slip with them. Totally recomend them
Maxine Casey

I found these bobbled very quickly but I imagine that's to be expected and a little on the large side for my little one,
he's 14 months, I'd order a size down next time

I am ordering these slippers second time. First ones were The Fox print. They stay perfectly on. Even after many washes. They are warm and non slippery on wooden foors.

Brilliant socks, perfect for keeping little toes warm when it's chilly. I have these for both my 9 month old and my 3 yr old, the little one wears them inside and when out in the buggy as I've found they help keep his socks on!!

Excellent product. Very cute and great quality. Prompt delivery.

Brilliant for keeping little feet warm and non-slip as well which is very useful for a toddler who tears around on wooden floors! Smallish sizes thogh as my daughter is a size 6 at 2 yrs old and the 18-24 months are perfect but many of her friends of this age have much bigger feet so go for a larger size if your child has bigger feet.
on Thursday, October 23, 2014
My son loves them and even keeps them on for most of the time, unlike regural socks! Cute design and well-made
Heather Tennant

Love these, so cute
on Tuesday, October 14, 2014
Really happy with these. Bought originally as I thought my son wouldn't be able to pull them off like he does with normal socks, so would keep him warm in the cold weather. He can pull them off but never mind! They are comfortable for him to wear and very easy to put them on.
on Tuesday, October 14, 2014
Very happy with these, our boy was happy wearing them straight away. They're nice and warm and the grippy sole means he doesn't slip over on our wooden floors. Considering getting a second pair for when these are drying after washing.

on Monday, October 13, 2014
These are just brilliant! They're really good quality and fit well. They keep my little boy's feet nice and warm and they stay on nicely. Very happy with them and I think they are good value for money.
on Thursday, October 09, 2014
Absolutely love these, warm, well made and best of all.... he can't get them off over his chubby little legs!!

Funky design and quality as usual. These slipper socks wash well.
on Wednesday, August 27, 2014
I just fell in love with these slipper socks when I saw them and bought them for my 10 month old son who is just learning to walk. They are so lovely in so many way; the designs are great, they are cosy, fun and comfortable and cannot be easily pulled off by a tot, however the quality of the stitching really let's this product down. My son had these for three weeks only (and not with heavy use since he can barely walk without my help) when the stitching came apart between the leather sole and the side panel on both slippers. They were exchanged in store for another pair but it is happening again. This is such a shame since we thought these would be firm favourites. The stitching at the sole even looks thin and barely fit for purpose. Come on JMB, you have great designs, let's improve on the manufacture of of this item so that I can keep buying them for the little feet in our house!
on Thursday, August 21, 2014
I purchased the frog slipper socks for my granddaughter and she really loves the . They are very well made and very good quality. The non slip slip soles prevent her from slipping.i would certainly recommend them.
Rachel Hughes
on Monday, June 02, 2014
Great slipper socks, stay on well when the little one is crawling around. Good price and excellent service from JoJo
on Monday, May 12, 2014
Excellent- no more pulling off socks or shoes falling off! We get lots of comments about these and love them. Great value for money and super fast delivery!
Jemma Sweet
on Wednesday, April 23, 2014
We love these slipper socks!!!!
So fun for our little man and we've finally found something to stay on his feet. Perfect as he has started toddling!
on Friday, April 11, 2014
Excellent slipper socks. Comfy fit and not so easy to pull off! Great for walkers and jumper roo type things as they have a padded sole. :-)
on Friday, March 07, 2014
My 13 month old son loves these slippers and regularly brings them over to me as he wants to put them on. We have hard floors on all our downstairs areas and these are great for walking around without slipping. I will be getting another pair in the next size as soon as he grows out of these!
on Wednesday, February 26, 2014
These slipper socks have been a staple since my son was 6 months old and standing. As soon as he started walking at 11 months, he's barely been out of them when indoors. An absolute must on wooden floors as socks can be so slippery (even though I love Jo Jo's socks with the sticky pads on the soles - please Jo Jo put sticky pads on the soles of your sleepsuits!). I will keep buying these (and the stripy ones) for as long as he is willing to wear them.
Susan Moran
on Thursday, February 20, 2014
These are brilliant for young ones as they stay on really well. I bought 6-12mths for my 8 mth old, they fit with not much room to grow so I've also purchased them in a bigger size. Really handy to pop on when my wee boy is flying around in his walker.
on Wednesday, February 19, 2014
Great slippers

Very good Slipper Socks. :)
Would highly Recommend them
on Tuesday, February 11, 2014
Bought these superb slipper socks for my grandson, who has almost grown out of his original pair. His cousin also has some....they both love JoJo slipper socks as they stay on so well and grip superbly for little toddlers. Highly recommend
on Monday, January 27, 2014
Fantastic! My son will happily wear these slipper socks all day which is a relief as he removes his shoes or socks. They are perfect for wooden floors at home and carpets in public spaces where bare foot is not appealing. I am about to buy the next size!
Fran bowman
on Monday, January 13, 2014
We purchased these after receiving some of a similar style for christmas for my son. Lovely quality slipper and fab they reach up to the knees so don't fall off like regular slippers. Lovely design!
on Tuesday, January 07, 2014
Excellent for keeping feet warm. They actually stay on the feet!

Adele Wills

Love these slipper socks. They are the only things that stay on my babies feet!
on Monday, December 30, 2013
Great socks/slippers. Keep my little girl feet warm and she can ran in them on any flooring. Great customer service team. Very helpful. Highly recommended.
on Friday, December 27, 2013
I brought the frog slipper socks for my nephew and he always has a good look at his feet when he has them on! They are really well made and lovely and soft.
on Friday, December 06, 2013
This is our second pair of these and although they are quite big for my 9 month old (we have 6-12 month ones) the sock part means they stay on even when she's crawling. They are also good for out and about and keep her feet warm.
Laura Bill
on Monday, December 02, 2013
The only pair of slippers I've been able to keep on my 15 month olds feet. I love them so much I've just bought the next size up as he's outgrown the first pair.

Great slippers with a fun design. My son loves them.
on Friday, October 25, 2013
Lovely slipper socks, my son has a habit of taking his socks of so these are helping a little, with the weather getting colder it is needed. Also they are better than just socks on the wood flooring.
on Tuesday, October 22, 2013
Very cute moccasins - the best thing is that they stay on!!
on Thursday, October 17, 2013
Brilliant - exactly what I needed for a baby who is desperate to walk. They stay on, keep his feet warm and give some grip on bare floors.
on Friday, October 04, 2013
Excellent shoes, baby loves them. cosy and gripy feet good for learning to walk. We have all three sizes !
on Wednesday, October 02, 2013
Comfy soft and stay on feet so are great! Would highly recommend!
Heidi Shephard
on Monday, September 30, 2013
I love these, and they look so cute, and stay on. Perfect at nursery too as non slip. Will buy again definately when outgrown
on Monday, July 22, 2013
A brilliant idea; will help you avoid putting tender young feet into shoes too early
Carmel Spyer
on Thursday, June 13, 2013
These are absolutely fab. I looked for ages for sock/shoes for my son whose feet are always freezing. These are brilliant as they stay on his feet all day and keep them toasty. We get compliments everytime he wears them - got the rainbow pair as well. Highly recommend
on Thursday, June 13, 2013
I bought these for my son when he was 16 months, in the largest size available (18-24 months). He is a shoe size 5. They look so cute on, and I've had many comments about how lovely they look. They are ideal for wearing on our wooden/tiled floors, and wash really well. I just love the frog design! My only wish is that they were available in larger sizes, I will be gutted when he grows out of this pair.
on Thursday, June 06, 2013
Very nice and practical
Lorraine Phillips
on Monday, June 03, 2013
Every child needs a pair of these!
They are a wonderful design, great quality, wash well and they actually stay where they should, on my second (larger) pair for my little boy and wish they came in bigger sizes.
on Friday, May 31, 2013
Lovely looking slippers. Really handy for that stage when they are constantly pulling their socks off. Also good for those starting to cruise/walk as they quite supportive. Great value for money.
Jane Page
on Monday, February 04, 2013
Reluctantly bought these for my 13 month old grandson as I hate character type slippers but these are brilliant. They keep his feet warm and he can't pull them off and he actually looks really cute in them. Would definitey recommend them.
Lorraine Phillips

Totally love the slipper socks! Very well made and don't slip off as easy as other ones I have tried and great design. Have had many compliments from friends and family. Very reasonable price too!

Bought as a present for a friend's twin son. They have proved very popular and very helpful with those first little steps!
Sue Crozier-Welch
on Thursday, January 03, 2013
These are lovely, I bought them for my one year old nephew. Not sure why I can't get them in larger sizes though? I would have liked to have got them for my Grandson, I got the strippey ones, but they are not as much fun.
Danielle Sturmey
on Wednesday, January 02, 2013
This slippers are fantastic! My 15month old son loves cruising around in these as they don't fall off whilst on the move. They are so good I bought the next size up for him too!

on Wednesday, January 02, 2013
Great buy, warm feet in action and my one year old happy...highly recommended.
on Wednesday, January 02, 2013
Perfect. Just what I was looking for. Love the extra padding on the feet and the length up the calf.
on Wednesday, January 02, 2013
I bought these for my nephew as a Christmas pressie - He loves them, I love them, his mum loves them.... smiles all round.
Rachel D
on Wednesday, January 02, 2013
Fantastic little slipper socks, perfect if you have wood or stone floors when LO is toddling around. They go high up so mine (who is a terror at pulling socks off) can't get them off. And washable, which is great. Only issue is availability, I had to wait quite a while for these to come into stock. In the meantime I did try some other slipper socks which were cheaper and bought elsewhere but it was false economy - they weren't as high on the leg or as cosy on the foot....
Morgan H
on Thursday, December 20, 2012
LOVE these slippers! My son had a pair of authentic Swedish ones last winter before he was in shoes and wore them all the time. These seem just as long-lasting and hard-wearing, whilst being soft and comfy. I got size 18-24mths for my 25 month old as other brands in age 2-3 are too big just at the moment. These fit nicely right now but not sure how long that will last. Lovely quality, great price.
C Carter
on Thursday, December 20, 2012
Gorgeous slippers. Easy to put on. Non-slip soles, so great on hard floors. And my son loves to wear them, so I guess they are comfortable too.

These slipper socks are brilliant! My little boy always kicks off socks and shoes, but because these are longer he cant and they stay on! They are well made and definitely worth the price! I will be buying them in the other colour too.
Niamh Dunne
on Friday, September 07, 2012
I bought these slippers to stop my 11 month old son from slipping when on a hard wood floor. I love them! Apart from being very cute, they stay on quite well and stop him from falling over quite as often.

I don't mind if they sell expansions for decently cheap but they should atleast give you a good amount of space and not forcing you to buy expansions.

anything can be in the cash shop as long as cash mop money can be obtained in-game without paying ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Rohan just came to my mind... Just because they give you a way to get it ingame doesn't mean it will be "balanced".
A cash shop is fine as long as it's convenience and cosmetics. It's stops being convenience and cosmetics if it unbalances the game or "forces" people to buy certain stuff (we all know those games which leave you with a tiny inventory that gets filled uppon looting a dozen of corpses or with quest/craft/junk items, that's certainly not reasonable to me unless it's the only non cosmetical thing for sale).
An example of great cash shop is Path of Exile, probably the most fair cash shop on a F2P mmo.

What games need to do to not be pay2win is follow the OP's advice, AND make sure they never have the items tradable AND not have a real money <> in-game money system. Lock boxes also need to go, random chance to get an epic statted equip is still pay2win. (See Angels Online) If the pets/etc. don't have good stats, then I agree with the OP on premium pets/etc. But otherwise, no.
Only plays Magic DPS Classes, Healers and Machinist/Engineers.
Playing MMO: FFXIV (Balmung)
Waiting On: FFXV, KH3, Tree of Savior, RE:FFVII · Saving For: New Computer
Core gameplay elements should never be linked to a cash shop IMO.
That includes:
Storage space
Character slots
Crafting boosters/enhancements/safeguards
Additional characters
Additional skill trees/slots/weapon choices, etc.
Additional functions (housing, guild, messaging, banking, crafting, etc)
I'm alright with additional cosmetics, exp/gold/drop boosters, pets that are just for looting/show/auto collect, name/server/changes, etc. Plenty of people use that stuff enough for the company to make money off of it. That other stuff is just greed and turns decent games into crappy ones.
I'd rather P2P a game than spend money on Micro Transactions.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
When asked at the start about their goals in the Atomic Waymaker, the "United States of Canada" team answered with a mixture of emotion and irony: "To be able to say in 20 years that we took part in the very first, now globally successful, Atomic Waymaker." Now the three top athletes from the USA and Canada will be able to wrap up their story with a very satisfying punch line - because not only did they compete in the inaugural Atomic Waymaker, they also won it.
This is a very symbolic victory for the world-class trio of Marc Smiley, Andrew McNab and Reiner Thoni and is indicative of the shape of things to come: this ski touring challenge, which demands fitness and creativity, navigational and freeskiing skills, a sense of responsibility and team spirit, has international potential. "The Atomic Waymaker represents a milestone. I believe that this event can take ski touring to a whole new level," said Patrick Tritscher of the Waymaker event team.
For two days the panel of judges, comprising Head Judge and organizer Heli Putz, Hannes Arch, Matthias Haunholder, Beat Kammerlander and Andreas Ringhofer, observed every step taken by the athletes – directly on site, via live tracking using Red Bull MOBILE, using data from the Suunto navigation devices and video footage recorded by the GoPro helmet cams. "The teams' performances exceeded all expectations," said Hannes Arch. "All eight interpreted the terrain differently and made the most of their strengths – and that's just what we were looking for." For each sector the jury awarded points, and right up until the end it was neck and neck between the North Americans, the Austro-Spanish team which included World Cup winner and World Championship medalist Kilian Jornet and the tenacious local heroes.
"We're incredibly proud to have won this event," said Marc Smiley, who hopes, along with his wife Janelle, to become the first to complete all fifty classic climbs of North America by 2014. "And we had two fantastic days in the Dachstein. One of today's descents took us through a steep couloir (Ed.: narrow gully) with a gradient of over 50 degrees where there was some great snow – it was an experience that puts everything we've ever done in Europe in the shade."
There was thick fog between Ödensee and Krippenstein on Saturday and on Sunday the conditions were even worse: from the 5am start on the Krippenstein, visibility was reduced by the fog to just a few meters. Consequently, the jury were forced to abandon their assessment of the teams at 11am and allow the teams to finish at their own pace. "Safety comes first," said Putz.

St. Petersburg, Florida -- A St. Petersburg Police officer has been temporarily suspended for dragging a woman into the Pinellas County Jail.
Surveillance camera footage shows 47-year-old Officer Christopher Goodwin dragging 49-year-old Debra Leibrock by the back of her shirt, across the floor and into the receiving area of the jail.

The incident took place in April, after Leibrock was arrested for Disorderly Intoxication and Trespassing- just one of her 16 arrests in 2013 alone.

Goodwin was cited for excessive force, and was suspended for 32 hours, or four days.
According to Chief Harmon, "Goodwin was remorseful for his actions and any embarrassment it brought to the agency."

|Vikings aiming sights on state title
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Friday, 28 May 2010 08:11
The Avery High women's soccer team will put its best foot forward Saturday afternoon.
The Vikings (20-1-2), the No.1 team in the state in Class 1A, will play Southwest Onslow in the state championship game Saturday afternoon at 1 pm at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. And the Vikings are hoping to do what no other Avery team has been able to do----and that's win a state championship.
"I must admit, I am nervous," said Avery coach Tom Evaul. "It's new territory for me. We've been to four quarterfinal games and lost them all. But I have a lot of confidence in my team. The girls have put together a great season, and I'm just glad to be a part of it."
Avery advanced to its first state championship game by knocking off Lake Norman Charter 3-0 in the Western Finals last Saturday. And during their post-season march, the Vikings have been extremely stingy on defense. They've outscored their opponents by the whopping margin of 11-0, and for the year, the Vikings have given up just eight goals.
"Our defense has been superb all year," Evaul said. "We have a strong chemistry on our back line, and we've been able to shut teams down. Hopefully, we can repeat the effort on Saturday."
Junior Mary Chestnut Smith is Avery's biggest weapon. According to Evaul, she has scored 35 goals with 30 assists this season. Emily Banner has scored more than 20 goals with more than 20 assists. Defensively, the Vikings have posted 16 shutouts.
"Of course, Mary and Emily get most of the attention," Evaul said. "But we have a strong core of players that have made this possible. Everyone on this team has a role, and they have fulfilled those roles very well.
"I have dedicated this season to my players, and they have just put together a terrific season."
And winning a state title is the ultimate goal.
"It would be nice to win a state championship," he said. "We've had individual champions in tennis and wrestling, but we've never had a team title in the history of our school. It would be nice for the school and our community. We'll give it our best shot."
Wellborn has Blackhawks in regional finals
Former Watauga High baseball player and coach Ben Wellborn is one win away from taking his team to a state championship game.
West Wilkes (20-10) moved a step closer to its goal by pounding Bishop McGuinness 12-4 in game one of its best of three series in the Class 1A Western Regional Finals. The Blackhawks hit four home runs in that game. Grafton Church went deep twice. Logan Hallock picked up his fifth win of the year.
Game two will be played Saturday morning at 11 am in Millers Creek. Game three, if necessary, will follow.
West Wilkes hasn't been to the state finals since 1987. The Blackhawks lost to Greene Central in a three-game series that year.

IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman just wrapped up his five-year stint. During his tenure, Shulman didn't just move the IRS and the U.S. tax-professional community rapidly into the electronic age, he rattled global financial leaders as well.
Who would have believed that anyone could force Switzerland to bypass sacrosanct banking-secrecy rules to reveal account-holder information? Yet, under Shulman's watch, in 2009, the IRS did to Switzerland what they did to Al Capone. Shulman used the IRS's criminal prosecutorial powers to blast open the files of Swiss bank UBS and collected billions of dollars from alleged tax criminals. (See UBS to hand over names of 4,450 clients to U.S.)
In addition, through the controversial Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Initiative, he persuaded thousands more Americans to step forward voluntarily and reveal their own offshore accounts — collecting billions more in penalties. (See IRS offshore tax programs pull in $5 billion)
What has the IRS done lately?
J. Russell George, the United States' Treasury inspector general for tax administration, and his team released a report last week reviewing the IRS's performance during this past filing season. So, with all of Shulman's improvements, how did his team do?
The IRS managed to process over 133 million individual tax returns by April 28, 2012. Except for a rocky start in January due to problems with some fraud filters, most tax returns were processed quickly and on-time.
More than 83% of tax returns were electronically filed. Paper-filed returns were down by 14%. This could be an indirect response to the IRS's mandate that all tax preparers who are paid to prepare more than 10 tax returns must file electronically.
IRS warns: AMT poised to bite 33 million taxpayers

The IRS assisted approximately 2.3 million individuals at its Taxpayer Assistance Centers, where customers waited 30 minutes or less for service. And the IRS received approximately 90.4 million calls to the various toll-free telephone-assistance lines.
Compare this with the companies in MSN's 2012 Customer Service Hall of Fame. Only two companies on the list seem to deal with more transactions than the IRS — UPS (15.8 million packages a day) and FedEx (9 million packages a day). But none of the winners list the number of customer service calls they field.
Generally, during tax season, the IRS service centers operate on extended hours. That didn't happen this year, as a result of budget cuts. Such cuts have resulted in many programs, lectures and workshops being cancelled — some at the very last minute, according to IRS sources. There has been some grumbling among the agency's staff that it's illogical to cut so much out of the budget. After all, when revenue is down, the last thing you want to do is cut back on the folks who bring the money in.
The public's use of online IRS tools, meanwhile, is increasing dramatically. Visits to the IRS.gov website have risen by more than 40 million since 2011. No doubt, this writer's many daily visits contributed to those stats. Use of the "Where's My Refund" function grew by over 70% from about 63 million visitors to upwards of 108 million.
In addition, the IRS is making significant moves into the social media and mobile arenas. Its IRS2Go smartphone app provides about half a dozen information and self-help tools. In addition, consumers can find a variety of IRS departments and staff members on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and RSS feeds. In addition, the IRS regularly produces podcasts and webinars in English, Spanish and other languages, for both the public and the tax-professional community. This enables them to reach many thousands (perhaps millions) more people at one time, without travel expenditures.
Refundable Credits Ensure a Growing Fraud Problem
Here's a look at how tax fraud has grown over the years — and how much of it the IRS is catching:

#Isles confirm David Ullstrom recalled from Bridgeport. Brian Rolston has been placed on waivers.
— NYIslanders (@NYIslanders) February 25, 2012
This does not affect the Islanders salary floor situation. According to Capgeek, the Isles are able to shed 7.7 million in salary (either in trades or waivers) without taking any salary back and still be above the floor. In this case, promoting David Ullstrom does add some prorated salary back anyway, and Rolston has a 35+ contract which counts against the cap even if he is waived. The only way for the salary not to count would be if another team claims him, which is unlikely. Scroll down the page to see the salary floor teams.

Jefferson Davis
From The Library of Congress Civil War Desk Reference, edited by Margaret Wagner, Gary W. Gallagher and Paul Finkelman. Copyright © 2002 by The Stonesong Press Inc., and the Library of Congress. Reprinted by permission of Simon & Schuster Inc.
Jefferson Finish Davis (1808-1889), president of the Confederate States of America (provisional president February 18, 1861 — February 17, 1862; president February 22, 1862 — May 10, 1865).
Davis never sought the Confederate presidency. When he learned of his election as the provisional head of state, he accepted the position with considerable anxiety, for he would be building a nation while guiding it through a likely war with a stronger opponent.
Born into a well-to-do family in Christian (now Todd) County, Kentucky, Davis left Transylvania College in Lexington to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, graduating in 1828.
After serving seven years in the army, including participation in the Black Hawk War, he resigned his commission to marry Sarah Knox Taylor (daughter of his former commanding officer and future president Zachary Taylor) and become a planter in Mississippi.
Just three months after their marriage, Sarah died of malaria. In 1845, Davis married Varina Howell, with whom he had six children, and that same year, he was elected to Congress.
He resigned from Congress in 1846 and served as colonel of the 1st Mississippi Rifles in the Mexican-American War during which the heroic action of his regiment garnered him much esteem in his state. After the war, he was appointed and later, elected, to the U.S. Senate.
President Pierce named him secretary of war in 1853, and he led an aggressive effort to update and revitalize the military. He introduced advanced technology into the service, including rifled cannon and rifled muskets, repeating weapons, and the minie ball; made harbor improvements, and sent expeditions to explore and map possible routes for a transcontinental railroad.
Because of these improvements in war-making capability, he also instigated the creation of a new manual on battle tactics—one used by both sides during the Civil War.
Returning to the Senate in 1857, Davis was a prominent states' rights spokesman and a leader of the proslavery forces. He tried to avert secession by proposing compromise. When that failed, he followed his state delegation out of Congress. His hopes for a high military post in the Confederacy were exceeded when the Confederate convention elected him their provisional leader.
He brought many talents to his office—particularly, a vigorous work ethic— but his poor personal skills, stubbornness, and intolerance for opposing views made him difficult to work with.
Although he argued with his generals (except, most notably, Robert E . Lee, whom he admired), they were given broad authority, and he did not meddle much with his executive departments—with the exception of the Department of War, which had six secretaries in four years. A former war secretary himself, Davis essentially ran the department.
Davis tried to balance his cabinet with appointees representing each state. He relied extensively on his friend Judah P. Benjamin—perhaps the most gifted statesman in the Confederacy—who held several cabinet posts.
Most cabinet officers performed their duties without presidential interference because so much of Davis' energy (and 80 percent of the civil service) was dedicated to the War Department. His military philosophy—win by not losing the army—was defensive and it reflected his defensive political sentiment. The Confederacy did not want to wage an offensive war; it simply wanted to be left alone as an independent nation.
As president, Davis tried to balance respect for individual states' rights with the national measures such as conscription, impressment, and the suspension of habeas corpus necessary to continue the war. His poor grasp of foreign relations and his concentration on the defense of Virginia illustrated his difficulty in seeing a wider view of the war. Yet, for four years, he led a government that was outmanned and outgunned but seemed, at times, within reach of victory.
On April 2, 1865, Davis and his cabinet fled Richmond and attempted to set up the Confederacy's government in Danville, Virginia. From there, he headed south as cabinet members left, one by one, to return home or to escape to Europe.
On May 10, Davis was captured outside Irwinville, Georgia. Though charged with treason and imprisoned for two years at Fort Monroe, Virginia, Davis was never tried. The government dropped the case, and Davis refused to ask for a pardon, which prevented him from ever returning to politics.
After years of foreign travel, rootlessness (Brierfield, his plantation, now belonged to his former slaves, though he eventually regained ownership), and failed employment as the president of the Carolina Life Insurance Company, Davis returned to Mississippi.
At Beauvoir, an estate owned by an admirer, Davis spent four years writing a massive history entitled The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government (1881). A self-serving and legalistic work, the book did poorly, but in his remaining years, Davis did enjoy his status among war veterans as the central symbol of what would be called the Lost Cause.

BritneyUnited StatesGel Vs LotionI have tried the fake bake lotion as well as the gel. My consensus is they both give a great color, coming from someone who has tried every self tanner in the world, I do really like this product because it looks like a real tan. It has a rich brown color and is not orange at all. For those that say the tan washes off, it's supposed to. I almost feel that these products are more like a skin stain than a sunless tanner. It may be intimidating at first because of the darkness (like chocolate syrup) but it looks nice on the first application even for fare skin. It is build-able, so if the tan isn't as dark as you would like you do it again the next night. It is important you exfoliate on the first usage and wash before each application thereafter to ensure proper absorption of the tan. Don't use any lotion, or oily products (I used a sugar scrub for exfoliating and it was too oily for my first go around) The lotion goes on more evenly than the gel upon application, however both appear equally as even after rinsing the next day. The gel has a more intense tanning factor I feel than the lotion. The gel however is quite sticky, the lotion is not. They are equally as messy, however it washes out of clothes/sheets. Either way you cant go wrong, but I would start with the lotion if you are a first time user. I would also buy a pack of latex gloves for application, the one pair that comes with the bottle just isn't enough. It also doesn't dry the skin out or look all crazy when your skin starts to shed like other tanners. Overall I really love this product. On a scale my favorites in order: 1. Fake Bake 2. Mystic Tan 3. Loreal Wipes 4. Sally Henson Airbrush Legs (not a tanner but amazing) 5. Breathe Delight Gradual Tanning Lotion Everything else kind of seems the same.9 out of 10 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
It's not often that you find somebody in business having to make a comeback at the tender age of 24, but Vyki Alleman is doing just that.
A grease fire at the FM 365 location of Novrozsky's Hamburgers, Etc. shut the Nederland eatery down for more than a month, but it might have proved a fortuitous development for the restaurant. As they scramble to reopen in early March, the Beaumont-based chain finds itself in the middle of an incipient burger war.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth.

Jean-Michel Basquiat
Benoit Tessier/Reuters
Jean Michel Basquiat was a Brooklyn-born artist whose brief career leaped from graffiti scrawled on SoHo foundations to one-man shows in galleries around the world. He died from a drug overdose in 1988 in New York. He was 27 but had created more than 1,000 pieces of art.
The son of a Haitian accountant, Mr. Basquiat began drawing on sheets of paper his father brought home from the office. He never received formal training, and his paintings incorporated images of angular people and symbols with lone words or phrases. He used words ''like brushstrokes,'' he said.
Critics praised his work for its composition, color and balance between spontaneity and control. While still in his early 20s, his work was shown at leading SoHo galleries, including the Annina Nosei Gallery and the Mary Boone Gallery, and his work was exhibited in galleries from SoHo to Paris, Tokyo and Dusseldorf. His paintings sold for $25,000 to $50,000. More than two decades later, his artwork has fetched millions.
Mr. Basquiat formed a close friendship with Andy Warhol, immortalizing it in a double portrait that would later be sold in the auction of Warhol's collection at Sotheby's in 1988. The two also collaborated on a series exhibited in 1985 that featured cartoon characters and corporate logos.
Mr. Basquiat's paintings are included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Your paycheck information, or that of your neighbor's, is likely on a new database that went public Tuesday morning.
It opens the curtain on the personal payroll of over one million federal workers.
We found some workers averaged bonuses as much as ten times higher than workers at other federal agencies.
Click latest updates below for details:
Link: GSA's unreported bonuses and payouts to five Las Vegas scandal officials
Link: Osama bin Laden tracker awarded: Click here to see what he and other workers did that brought them bonuses up to $63,000.
Link: Congressional hearing possible: Click here for an update on $62,895 individual bonuses and potential hearing.
Link: Federal worker anger: Click here to see story of federal worker concerns that database is invasion of privacy.
Link: Asbury Park Press coverage: Click here for story from newspaper that designed database showing $439 Million in bonuses paid to federal workers.
Link: DataUniverse.com database: Click here to access the DataUniverse.com 2011 payroll information.
The data, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act placed with the Office of Personnel Management by a WUSA9/Gannett sister publication, The Asbury Park Press, allows you to enter a federal worker's name to obtain salary and bonus information.
DataUniverse.com estimates the databank covers about 70% of federal workers, but Department of Defense, White House, Congress, CIA, FBI, and some other agencies are excluded.
Before the system went online,9NEWS Now's investigative reporter, Russ Ptacek, tested it by searching Veterans Affairs Secretary, Eric Shinseki.
In a split second, the database returned his $199,700 earnings in 2011.
You can also search by agency.
Our search identified a Department of Agriculture employee who earned over $179,000 as a base salary and a $62,895 bonus.
According to documents obtained by WUSA9, the USDA awardee iscredited with getting the first pandemic H1N1 vaccine approved in 2009for livestock.
Administration officials will not confirm the validity of thedocuments provided by the Senior Executives Association, whichrepresents its high ranking government official membership.
In a nomination that yielded the USDA official a Presidential Rank Award, the SEA documents credit the veterinarian with preserving the market for American hog farmers.
Our review identified 16 workers from various agencies with $62,895 bonuses which a White House official said were awarded to .01% of federal employees under a presidential program recognizing excellence.
