I can't do any better than what I have said before, going all the way back and then some.
Judicial restraint, deference to agency discretion, and allowance of excess congressional delegation results in TYRANNY OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
The SCOTUS abandons its oath and duty to defend and protect the constitution by allowing mandarins in agencies run of the place, and allows congress to shirk it's legislative and oversight responsibility by excessive delegation and failure, feckless failure to assure faithful execution of the laws.
Here's enough to make you choke and cry. We have lost our representative republic with three equal branches.
Here's a series of legal commentaries related to delegation and discretion and now lost concept promoted by the Baron de Montesquieu.
Congress is a perpetual charade by vain and self-serving show boats, despots are on the loose from the executive branch departments and agencies, and a tyrant is in charge of the article II branch of the constitution, so when the SCOTUS decided to take a pass on harnessing excess and violation of the separation of powers–we hit the skids. It ain't what the framers intended.
I really like Alito and Thomas, they rightly voted in favor of revisiting the "endangerment" finding of the collusive lawsuit on Carbon Dioxide Mass v EPA. That should have never happened. Is there a good phrase to describe the SCOTUS conduct other than perfidious abrogation? (A brief definition is the treacherous betrayal and failure to ones duty as required by an oath, for example).

World Baseball Classic, Inc. (WBCI) today announced, with the endorsement of the tournament Steering Committee, the introduction of a new World Baseball Classic Qualifying Round for the 2013 World Baseball Classic which will expand the competitive field from 16 to 28 countries. The new round will feature 16 teams divided into four pools of four teams each. The teams invited to participate will include the four World Baseball Classic teams from 2009 that did not win a game. The 16 countries receiving Qualifying Round invitations are:
Czech Republic
Great Britain
New Zealand
South Africa*
*Participated in the 2009 World Baseball Classic
The Qualifying Round games will take place in Fall 2012 and each of the four pools will feature a six-game modified double-elimination format. The composition of the pools will be determined once the Qualifying Round venues are selected and will be based on geographical location, competitive balance and regional rivalries.
The winners from each qualifying pool will advance into the World Baseball Classic tournament, scheduled for March 2013. Those four teams will join the 12 countries –
Australia, China, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Kingdom of the Netherlands, Puerto Rico, United States
– that receive automatic invitations based on their performance in the 2009 tournament.
"Growing the game of baseball around the globe is the primary objective of the World Baseball Classic. By expanding the competitive field of the 2013 tournament, we are demonstrating our commitment to this goal and reinforcing that the World Baseball Classic is the premier showcase of baseball around the globe," said Major League Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig. "The tournament is a unique experience for fans to witness the excitement of this great game and I encourage organizations around the world to bid for the chance to host this wonderful baseball event."
"The expansion of the World Baseball Classic from 16 to 28 teams is a testament to the sport's continuing growth in participation and popularity around the world," said Major League Baseball Players Association Executive Director Michael Weiner. "The overwhelming fan, player and media support bestowed upon the first two World Baseball Classics is at the root of this decision, which makes the World Baseball Classic a truly global competition."
WBCI determined the 12 new teams for the Qualifying Round based on criteria established to create the most competitive international baseball event in the world. Some of the key factors involved in team evaluation and selection included: strength of native player base, number of professional players, IBAF international rankings, viability of domestic baseball programs, participant's impact on baseball development in country/territory and diverse global representation.
World Baseball Classic Inc. also announced the commencement of the venue selection process for hosts of the four Qualifying Round pools, as well as the 2013 World Baseball Classic games. Parties including MLB Clubs, governments, international federations, promotional and event companies are invited to formally express interest in hosting a pool, or pools, of the tournament. Interested parties will be provided a formal bid document including detailed requirements and bid submission guidance. WBCI welcomes bids from bidding groups who can deliver a strong and compelling bid that effectively combines both public and private support for promoting and hosting part of the World Baseball Classic. The bidding process for the Qualifying Round venues is expected to conclude by September 2011 with the venues for the World Baseball Classic tournament to be finalized by December 2011.
Added Riccardo Fraccari, President of the IBAF, baseball's world governing body: "On behalf of the IBAF and its 119 national federations, it is wonderful that the quality of baseball internationally has warranted the expansion of the World Baseball Classic. The expansion to 28 teams will be beneficial not only for the worldwide development of baseball, but also to raise the technical level of play in many countries that were previously unable to compete at such levels. The tremendous passion and interest from players, fans and the international community makes the World Baseball Classic a special celebration of the game of baseball."

The nicest RV park. Well run, clean, and very friendly. Great pool and hot tub. Fun activities and social atmosphere. The spots are also lined with lemon and orange trees, which were free to pick. A very nice treat!
Would be a 10/10 if they had more pull-through spots. - 5thWheelAroundTheCountry

We think this is an average park and a little over priced...Wifi is dicey, no place to put your clothes in the shower area, "resort" is a stretch...management was nice. It was quiet, lanes were muddy after recent rain, full time areas mostly looked neat and well kept. - saturn7

We called in a reservation ahead of time for a single night. Arriving at the campground we were "greeted" by a gentleman who walked up to us and asked in a grouchy tone, "You got a reservation?" As we checked in, the guy complained about whoever took our reservation, the site they selected, and finally selected a different site for us. Glad this was only 1 overnight. The park is older, WiFi is extra,and there are many older rigs that aren't in the best shape. This felt more like a trailer park than an RV park. Oh, and there are goats roaming the property. Won't stay again. - RichC

The park is older, but we found it clean and quiet. The site we had was not level, but it wasn't bad, we leveled with the wood blocks I carry. WIFI was the best we've ever had at a park !! TV was very good, and electric was wired properly.(I check it before plugging in) Overall, we would stay here again. Landscaping was older, but nice. Typical Arizona, but nice. - DaneDad76

Sadly this campsite was very poor. The KOA brochure says landscaped sites well it may have been several years ago. Our site and most that we saw were not level, the gravel had not been raked, goats are allowed to roam around the site in the evenings. My husband used the restrooms/shower area on arrival and said they were disgusting, the urinals were off the wall. There were tools in the vicinity as though work was to be carried out but no sign of this work happening. We are sorry to have to say that we have noticed in general on this trip, January through March that KOA standards are falling but the prices are increasing. The one plus point was that the wifi/internet was very good, a good strong connection however were fairly near the office and the site was not fully occupied. A disappointing stay. - Harris England

It is a nice little park, old but very friendly hosts. There are a lot of full time residents but we had no problem getting an overnight site. They don't have amenities such as Wi-Fi or TV but MUCH cheaper than the other two RV Campgrounds in town. For about half the cost I was willing to give up Wi-Fi and TV. We would stay here again when going through the area. - Rick Lechner

Prices fall flat a year after a federal homebuyer tax credit spurred demand
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Nov 10, 2010
Median prices barely changed for previously owned homes sold last month on Oahu, but the number of sales fell hard after being pumped up last year by a federal tax credit aimed at breathing life into deflated housing markets around the country.
The Honolulu Board of Realtors reported yesterday that the median price of existing single-family homes sold in October ticked down 1.4 percent to $595,750 from $604,500 in the same month last year.
But the number of sales slumped 17 percent to 241 from 290 in the same period.
The volume decline was larger for condominium sales -- a 21 percent drop to 310 last month from 394 a year earlier, while the median price was unchanged at $300,000.
The drops upset a trend of rising sales this year but don't appear to reflect weakness in demand.
Brian Benton, president of the real estate agent association, said the big decline in transaction volume last month was affected by unusual activity a year ago driven by the tax credit program deployed to encourage more home purchases amid the recession.
HOME SALESThe number of homes sold on Oahu in October with the median price and percentage change from the same month last year:
Typically, October is a shoulder month for home sales. Since 2005, October hasn't been among the top five months for single-family home or condos, as spring and summer months account for the most home sales.
But last year there were more single-family home sales in October than in any other month. December, which typically is another slow month, had the second-most sales last year. For condos last year, October had the second-most sales after November.
Benton and other industry observers say home-buying has returned to a more normal seasonal pattern this year.
Even with the October decline, the number of sales for the first 10 months of the year is still up significantly: 15.6 percent for single-family homes and 16.3 percent for condos.
The Board of Realtors also noted that the average number of days single-family homes spent on the market before an offer was accepted by a seller reached a point last month -- 35 days -- that hasn't been lower in any month since December 2005.
Still, that's not to say Oahu's housing market doesn't remain in a tentative recovery phase.
Ricky Cassiday, a local housing market analyst, said Oahu's condo market showed signs of improvement last month compared with earlier this year, while the single-family home market looked soft.
"It's not exactly a bad picture," he said. "Sales are decent."
The velocity of sales is being advanced by falling inventory of homes as fewer homes are put on the market, Cassiday noted. Meanwhile, buyers and sellers continue to adjust their perceptions of market prices.
For example, one sale last month involved a roughly 40-year-old house in Waimalu. The four-bedroom home previously sold for $615,000 in July 2005 and was renovated, according to sale and listing records. Then the owner listed the home for sale in January 2009 at $690,000. This past January the home was relisted at $620,000, then relisted again in August for $599,900, at which price it sold last month.
Overall, median home prices are on pace to eke out small gains for the full year over last year. For the first 10 months of this year, the median single-family home price is up 3.1 percent to $598,000. The median condo price for the same period is up 0.3 percent to $305,000.
If the small rises in median prices are carried through the end of the year, they would reverse two years of modest declines for single-family homes -- 3 percent in 2008 and 7.9 percent last year -- and a one-year decline of 7.1 percent for condos last year.

Cellular Abroad SIM Card for Canada
A SIM Card for Canada, together with a tri-band or quad-band unlocked GSM cell phone, will allow you to have cellular service in Canada on a pay as you go basis. This SIM Card comes with a phone number native to your local area code in the U.S., so your friends and family will be able to reach you on a local call, rather than a long distance call to Canada. You can purchase talk time directly from the handset toll free, from the US or Canada, 7 days/week via credit card. Call credit is available in $10, $15, $25, $50, $75 and $100 denominations. The service provider is AT&T and roams on the Rogers network in Canada. Rogers is by far the largest Canadian carrier in the country. For your next trip to Canada, make sure to purchase a prepaid SIM card.
WARNING FOR IPHONE 4S AND IPHONE 5 USERS: This SIM Card will currently not work in your phone, unless you purchased your iPhone from AT&T.
Information and Talk Rates Chart
You can see the International outgoing rates and charges here.
- Incoming and outgoing calls within Canada and back to the US at $0.39 per minute
- A US phone number local to your home area
- Add additional credit at any time with your credit card from your phone (toll free)
- Additional credit available in $15, $25, $50 and $100 denominations
- Voicemail

If your trip is longer than 30 days and you need to continue the service, you can purchase additional call and data credit. Please note that you cannot add additional credit to a SIM card within a 30 day period. Example, purchasing a recharge voucher will NOT give you 2000 minutes of call credit and 2GB of data within a 30 day period nor can this be done (Telcel caps the service to 1000 min and 1GB data per 30 day cycle). It will give you an additional 30 day(s) of 1000 minutes and 1GB of data. You may also call Cellular Abroad at +1-310-862-7100 (8am to 4pm PST, Monday through Saturday, English speaking reps), but you can also order online 24/7 through our website, before or during your trip to add additional service to your Mexico SIM card.

International Roaming and Coverage information
While the AT&T SIM card for The U.S. and Canada does roam elsewhere, Cellular Abroad does not offer rates nor customer support for this service. If you will need cellular service in other countries, please consider the Talk Abroad SIM card.

|"Mexico is horrible when it comes to telephone service. At the resort we were at, they charge $10 to dial a number, then it was $10 per minute, needless to say, we did the phone card thing, which doesn't make "you" available for folks back home to call! We will be going back soon, God willing, maybe by then, I will be "wise" enough to have your system with me!! "
Multi-Country Travel
You can also purchase other SIM cards as well for other countries to where you may be traveling. (This option is good for those planning on doing a lot of local calling.) We also offer an international roaming Talk Abroad™ SIM Card that is convenient for travel to multiple countries. (This option is useful for those wanting a single number for use in multiple countries and who will be making more calls back home than locally.)

On today's show, we were pleased to be joined by longtime radio voice of the Atlanta Hawks (2,098 straight games!), Steve Holman. We talked Eastern vs. Western Conferences, the respective states of the Hawks and Grizzlies, and his thoughts on the players he's seen over the years, such as Larry Bird and Dominique Wilkins.
We also spoke with Dr. Owen Tabor who helped us to get more acquainted with the finer points of ankle sprains and what we should expect from Mike Conley when he returns.

Did not form patties. Ended up with sweet potato mashed up with salmon.
This recipe does not work as it is. You end up with a mash that doesn't form patties so it's false advertising to say that it's a recipe for patties. If you are looking for a recipe that actually forms patties try a different one. It's also a little dull taste-wise and would benefit from more herbs and or spices.
When I rated this recipe I only gave it 1 star. For some reason, when my rating was published on this website it has come up as a 2.5 star recipe which is not the rating I intended. My rating is 1 star.
The patties did not cook well - I also had canned salmon & sweet potato mush that didn't cook as a pattie. However, it didn't taste too bad so next time I think will try adding an egg or breadcrumbs or something...
Liked this a lot. Really good recipe, capable of infinite variation. I've never cared for ordinary potato in salmon patties whereas the sweet potato goes brilliantly. I often cook it with a lot of grated ginger in the water to add flavor, and perhaps add a bit of grated ginger and some chilli to the mix. I'll usually use some kind of grain such as cooked brown rice, or quinoa or whatever as I don't much care for bread crumbs either. And often serve with a simple low-fat sauce of plain yoghurt, stirred till creamy, with a good dash oif lemon juice and finely chopped coriander. Yum. Has become my new fave quick light easy meal. Oh, and I took the advice of another person & bake for about 15 mins each side rather than fry.
A great recipe! A fish recipe the whole family loves. We make these regularly. I always bake in the oven for 15 on each side and they turn out perfectly served with a pile of steamed green vegies and lemon wedges. Making the patties is a little time consuming, but well worth it!
When I made these according to the recipe I found them a bit bland & mushy. Tonight I used it as a base & added chopped beans, spring onions, fresh corn off the cob & some lemon zest with an egg to bind & they were much better, tastier & better texture.
the patties did not cook well- All I had was a mash of canned salmon & sweet potato that didn't cook as a pattie - very disappointing
I cooked the sweet potato in the microwave to save time. Also added parsley instead of dill, and 2 eggs. Thin ones fall apart so make them thick and big. Very easy to make. I didn't mash the sweet potato first, I just chucked it all into a dish and mashed it together.
Easy, easy and even my 6yr old liked them (when I said it tasted like McDonalds !) go figure.
Really tastey, could use an egg to firm the mixture up a bit.
There are really yummy. The sweetness of the sweet potato goes well with the salmon. I used leftovers from a bbq'd salmon instead of tinned salmon, and tried both the oven and frypan method. Both worked well. They were very nice served along with some fried haloumi and a lemon wedge.
The flavours are tasty but while cooking the patties they tend to break up in my frying pan (even though its non stick and oil was added). This also happened to me with another salmon pattie recipe I made years ago which put me off making it. I tried my luck again however the same thing happened with this recipe. I baked the remainder patties in the oven which worked better. Overall its a bit finicky (removing the fine bones from the salmon too long) but the flavours were good.
This would have to be one of the best patty recipes. I cut the sweet potato in to very small cubes and covered with cling wrap and cooked in the microwave. Then I took out mashed and mixed with the other ingredients. I added a few personal favourites such as fresh mint, chives and parsley. I also added an egg but I think the mixture would have combined fine without it - just habit. Highly recommend.

Just like Samsung said would happen back in December 2013, a new research and development center has been set up, though it hasn't and won't be complete for months still.
For those unfamiliar with the situation, there was a report, back in late 2012, that Samsung had decided it needed a new R&D center.
The building, or buildings, would be constructed in Silicon Valley, Menlo Park, California on Sand Hill Road.
Now, the company has officially unveiled the nascent campus, which is simply called the Samsung Strategy and Innovation Center.
Set to be funded directly from Samsung's Catalyst Fund and the corporate venture fund, the center will eat up roughly $1 billion, or $740 million Euro.
Strangely enough, Samsung's President and Chief Strategy Officer of Device Solutions, Young Sohn, said that the center had actually been open since last August.
Nevertheless, most of the offices and infrastructure has yet to be finished, and it is unlikely that the building process will finish in the near future, given the plans to coordinate with satellite offices in South Korea and in Israel, which have, likewise, not been set up yet.
Other strategic locations are being considered as well. All in all, Samsung is putting all it can spare into R&D, to make sure it maintains a varied product lineup.
"We see tremendous opportunities and transformations over the next five years driven by Big Data centered around mobility, cloud, and the Internet of Things, and Samsung will be a significant part of this revolution," Sohn said in a recent press statement, found here.
"This is an exciting opportunity for us to engage with entrepreneurs and innovators and empower them to leverage Samsung's technology and global brand presence to bring our collective visions to market."
On a related note, Samsung has organized the "SamsungCreate Challenge" and scheduled it for later in the year. Engineers, inventors, entrepreneurs and artists will be encouraged to use Samsung technology to promote new ideas. A $10 million / 7.4 million Euro seed investment will be given to those chosen.

MADISON, Wis. -- Great pitching and tough defense lead Wisconsin to a 3-0 win over Minnesota Friday afternoon at Goodman Diamond. The Badgers capitalized on eight hits and two errors by Minnesota to improve to 4-3 in the Big Ten (18-12 overall).
"Minnesota is a great team and they've been playing really hot all season, especially coming off winning the Nebraska series," said head coach Yvette Healy. "We're really proud of our team."
The first inning was three up, three down for both teams following a big double play by the Badgers. After a leadoff single, Minnesota's (21-11, 3-4) Madie Eckstrom hit a bullet to Shannel Blackshear at third base who doubled up Kari Dorle with a throw over to first to stop the Gophers' momentum.
The Badgers got on the board in the second inning after Stephanie Peace started things off with a walk and Marissa Mersch singled into right field. Michelle Mueller reached base on an error, scoring Peace.
Minnesota started off the third inning with a single into left field, but another double play from Blackshear ended the inning fast.
Kendall Grimm singled to lead off the bottom of the third for the Badgers, and Whitney Massey scored her, hitting an RBI double into right center field, giving Wisconsin a 2-0 lead after three innings.
A one-out single from Mersch got things going for Wisconsin in the fourth inning. Mueller followed up with a single, and pinch-hitter Karla Powell earned a walk to load the bases. Grimm hit an RBI single through the left side to put the Badgers up 3-0.
Minnesota started to rally back in the top of the sixth inning with a single from Kaitlyn Richardson through the right side. After a walk from UW starting pitcher, Cassandra Darrah, the Gophers had runners on first and second with no outs. A ground ball got the lead runner out, followed up by a strikeout from Darrah. The inning ended with a pop fly to right field.
The Badgers finished up the game in the seventh inning in 1-2-3 fashion, with Darrah striking out Bree Blanchette for the third out. Darrah earned her sixth shutout in her 14th complete game of the season, improving to 12-6. The sophomore right-hander struck out seven batters and only allowed five hits.
"Cassandra (Darrah) pitched a great game, one of the best that I've seen since she's been here," continued Healy. "To get some momentum for us and win four in a row, that's a big deal. We always like to string stuff together, but we're really proud of how the team came out today and we've got a lot of work to do tomorrow."
The two teams will decide the series in a doubleheader tomorrow at noon and 2 p.m. at Goodman Diamond. After the first game of the day, fans can participate in a scavenger hunt.

I was having severe allergic reactions to something unknown to me. It have been going on for over a year, and was getting worse. I had no idea what was causing the issue. This doctor is very thorough, both in getting your past history, to ordering exams. I was very impressed. It turns out I was allergic to a prescribed mouth rinse for dental work.

Justin Moore's new album, Off the Beaten Path, hits stores September 17. According to Justin, the project was defined by both the music he found and the tracks he wrote. After the success of his sophomore album, Outlaws Like Me, he admits to feeling some pressure with album three.
Watch Justin's "Point At You" music video >>
"I accomplished more than I had ever anticipated being able to accomplish in my career but at the same time, in other regards there's more pressure because it's like, 'Okay you've done this. Now you can either stay right here or you can take that big leap and go play ball with the big boys,'" he said. "I felt like in order for us to do that and grow our fan base to a level it hadn't been yet, we had to step out and take a couple chances and grow the music."
Justin took a few chances by doing things musically he'd never thought he would. "Some of the beats… I was adamant, I will never put a loop in any of my songs ever," he said. "I'm not doing it. Of course, I did. But they're subtle. And they're not in your face. I think it added a new element that it sounds a little fresher than what we've done in the past."
Off The Beaten Path will feature Justin's current Top 5 hit "Point At You." Justin will launch the Off The Beaten Path Tour in November.

Written and directed by Julia Leigh, Sleeping Beauty stars Emily Browning as a prostitute who takes sleeping pills right before a night's work, so she can be completely submissive to the dudes she boinks for cash. The movie's trailer is sexy, the poster is sexy – hell, I feel sexier just looking at these previews. The cast also includes Rachael Blake, Michael Dorman, and Mirrah Foulkes.

Marshall Simmonds of Define has some great tips for how to approach SEO in the post-Panda world. Here's a liveblog of his talk:
"More has happened in the last two years since search began"
Panda presented opportunity:
1. What is the opportunity?
2. What is my agenda and how do I push it
What is Google looking for and what are our assets to deliver the results?
The Freshness Update
When the freshness update rolled out about 25% of the results were recently updated, but now it's more like 45%.
- Pay attention to lastmod in XML sitemap
- Blog often
- RSS feed
- Time stamp
- +1 is probably a strong signal
- Watch timely queries – things people are searching for
Panda provided an opportunity for:
- New SEO audits:
- Reduce/move ad blocks
- Consider noindexing or removing poorly performing pages
- Syndicated Content?
- Page speed
- Clear up duplication with
- Outbound links
- Sitemaps
Search engines are distracted and even confused. If you are not using XML sitemaps you are missing a valuable means of communicating with Google. Now he shows a slide that shows dramatic increase in traffic via XML sitemap implementation.
If you have video as an asset, you should be figuring out how to get good rankings in YouTube because YouTube is the best way into Google Universal results.
Google News Standout Tag:
7 Times/week you get to tell Google News what should be the most important article of the day
- The tag should be placed in the head section of the source code on the page
- You can use it to point at other news outlets that link back to you creating a link network
- Confusing to implement
- It's inconsistent
- It's buggy
- It makes a huge different in traffic – 400% increases seen
GWT Internal Links Report:
Figure out which URLs have the most and least internal links and figure out how to get the right content better exposed.
Top Pages Tab on OpenSiteExplorer:
We monitor this report to make sure our top pages are not timing out.
Lot's of great reference material to help earn buy-in from other stakeholders.
Google moving the goal-posts = job security.

Dear Mobility Unlimited,
My life has changed quite a bit since receiving funding from Mobility Unlimited; thanks to them, I was able to acquire a new electric wheelchair that is invaluable in my daily life, both at home and at the workplace. Without my electric chair, my job duties would be much harder to perform to standard; with my electric chair, I am able to perform my job well and exceed the standards expected of me. I have become more independent having my new electric chair by no longer needing to rely on help from others to perform certain job duties, and by being able to help with certain tasks at home as well. Thanks to my new electric chair, I feel that my quality of life is much improved. My old electric chair was in a state of disrepair and did not function properly; as a result, it was very difficult to operate and often caused "driving" issues (scrapes and scuffs on the walls and entryways at work as well has at home). My new chair is much more maneuverable and enables me to move around with ease.
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Mobility Unlimited for their assistance in funding my new electric chair. Without their help, I would never have been able to afford a new chair on my own. The confidence and abilities that the new chair provides are invaluable to my quality of life. I appreciate the assistance received from Mobility Unlimited more than I can say in words alone. Mobility Unlimited has provided a phenomenal experience in obtaining the funding needed to acquire a new electric wheelchair. The staff has been unfailingly friendly, courteous, and compassionate of my needs. Best of all, they have listened to what I have to say and alleviated any concerns I may have had in regards to acquiring funding for my new chair, and have continually reassured me that it is their pleasure to help me in any way they can, now and in the future. This type of experience has left me feeling confident that there are still organizations and people who do care about what matters to those who are ability challenged.
To the donors that fund this organization, I cannot thank you enough for your contributions. The funding you provide is real, and does have real value in assisting those who are in need of your help. I am proof that this organization, Mobility Unlimited, is a much needed and much appreciated resource and thanks to you and to them, I am a much happier, more confident person in my new chair.
With sincere thanks,
Caleb J. Vaughan

Alex Turko (@aturko_23)
Right when I was wrapping up a blog on how Jameis Winston's situation hasn't hindered his performance, a report broke that the DNA from the plaintiff's underwear traces back to Winston. In the wake of his two-incompletion outing against Syracuse, it was easy to write about how Winston kept his focus, but now it is clear that nobody cares about last week. All of the focus has shifted to whether or not he'll even be able to suit up for the Seminoles in the coming weeks.
There are many questions this team would face if Jaboo was unable to suit up for the Garnet and Gold. Can the defense carry this team to the national title and mask the mistakes that would probably come from starting redshirt freshman quarterback Sean Maguire? Will backup quarterback Jacob Coker be fully recovered from knee surgery by the bowl game? Will the running game be effective enough to take the pressure off of the backup quarterback? Can the defense continue it's fantastic play?
One thing is for sure; if Winston cannot go, we will all see how good this team really is. Winston can flat out ball and there is no coincidence that he was the front-runner to bring home the Heisman before this legal situation, but how special is the rest of the team. I'm not so sure that the Seminoles couldn't put up a fight with a lot of teams without Winston under center. Now I'm not saying the Noles are going to knock off the back-to-back defending national champion Crimson Tide with a third string quarterback; but can they?
Florida State boasts the 4th ranked total defense in the country and is highlighted by the incredible play from the secondary, which is the number 1 passing defense in the country. This unit is leading the nation in interceptions and is 3rd in scoring defense. Don't worry about the rushing defense either, as they have only allowed 4 total rushing touchdowns this season and are 22nd in the country in rushing defense. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen Jameis Winston buckle up his chinstrap and go crack heads with the defense.
The offensive weapons that surround Winston are extremely talented in their own right. If he were unable to go, I'd imagine that Jimbo Fisher would pull back on the reins and call basic plays that would put his plethora of playmakers in space. The offensive line would be key in order to protect the new starter at quarterback and more importantly open up holes for the running backs to run through. I say "more importantly" because I imagine that the running backs would see a lot of carries in a Winston-less offense.
This team is being compared with the 1993 and 1999 Florida State championship teams, and many believe it is the most talented team in the programs' history. Sure, Winston is a huge reason for the teams' success, but you don't get dubbed the best team in school history because of one player and their miraculous season. If Winston can't go, what is the fate of this team? Will we always look back on the 2013 season and say "what could have been?"

Abakan Inc., an emerging leader in the advanced coatings and metal formulations markets, announced that the Company's board of directors, has determined to initiate a private placement of up to eighteen million seven hundred and fifty thousand (18,750,000) shares of its restricted common stock, at a price of $0.40 a share, for anticipated gross proceeds of up to seven million five hundred thousand dollars ($7,500,000), to support ongoing operations, retire outstanding debt and bolster product development. The prospective private placement is scheduled to close on September 15, 2014. Full subscription to the anticipated proceeds would result in the new shareholders having 21.5% of the Company's outstanding shares.
Proceeds will be used to pay off or convert over $4.2 million in debt and to provide the working capital needed to progress the development of the Company's Cermaclad coating process for the oil and gas, and mining sectors to longer sections of pipe than had been previously accomplished, and to complete an expanded product launch for PComP coatings. The PComP expansion includes a financing commitment from the State of Ohio to match the Company's PComP expenditures.

Nearly 1 Million Californians Could Lose Health Care Plans Under Obamacare

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – The head of California's new health insurance exchange estimates that nearly one million Californians may see their health insurance plans disappear when the Affordable Care Act kicks in.
President Barack Obama repeatedly said that if people like their health insurance plans that they could keep them. But did the president overpromise?
"I don't know about overpromise, but it's a little broadly overstated. There's changes, the health reform act has a lot of changes," said Covered California Executive Director Peter Lee.
He estimates as many as 900,000 Californians could get letters saying their individual insurance policies are being taken off the market because they don't meet minimum coverage requirements under the President's health care reform act, commonly referred to as Obamacare.
Steve Shivinsky with Blue Shield of California said said 119,000 Californians covered by Blue Shield will be affected because that carrier is eliminating what it calls "non-grandfathered plans".
That means that they signed up for a plan with Blue Shield after the Affordable Care Act was signed into law in March, 2010," Shivinsky said.
Shivinsky said customers will be moved into comparable policies that comply with the Affordable Care Act and that no one will be left without insurance.
Peter Lee will be the guest on KCBS' In Depth segment, airing Sunday at 8:30 a.m. and again at 8:30 p.m.

The Fans
The 2002-3 season was greeted with huge excitement by the Bristol Shoguns faithful.
After all, they were about to embark upon their first ever Heineken Cup season having got to the Zurich Championship final in May.
Who would have guessed that, several months later, the club would be staring at oblivion?
The cracks started to appear in the close season. Head Coach Dean Ryan headed up the A48 to Gloucester, Jack Rowell resigned as Director of Rugby and returned to Bath whilst skipper Jason Little retired.
Well respected Kiwi, Peter Thorburn, took over the coaching reins but claimed that the team were several weeks behind in their preseason preparations. This was endorsed when the team lost their opening four Zurich Premiership fixtures.
An amazing 14 man win over Leicester was followed by a first foray into the Heineken Cup and a superb, televised win over Montferrand was the highlight.
League form was mixed but there were more wins than defeats including a momentous first league win at Bath.
But Christmas saw a double bombshell. Owner Malcolm Pearce announced that he would quit at the end of the season. Thorburn named a weakened team to take on Rotherham in the Powergen Cup and the Shoguns crashed out.

Salvation on the Small Screen?
24 Hours of Christian Television
List Price: $18.00
PAPERBACK , 144 pages , 6 x 9
- Seabury Books
- Sep/2008
eBook available from these distributors:
A book for everyone who's ever flipped past the religious channel and thought, "I haven't the faintest clue what's going on there," or "That church doesn't seem like my church at all," or even, "Wow, so that's what happened to Kirk Cameron."
With the personalities of Christian broadcasting constantly talking about every major issue from abortion to culture to war, and given the amount of influence they have on the political discourse in this country, the more one understands about religious television, the more one understands America's religious landscape.
On an average day, the largest religious broadcast channel in the country reaches millions of viewers, featuring programming from figures such as Benny Hinn, T.D. Jakes, Pat Robertson, Paul and Jan Crouch, Jesse Duplantis, Joel Osteen, and others. Yet, despite its presence in well over 50 million households, many people have little concept of what kind of faith happens there.
The author, a Lutheran seminarian and former stand-up comic who had never before watched religious broadcasting, spent 24 hours immersing herself in the messages and culture of religious television. Joined by guest viewers at various points in the day, including a rabbi, Unitarian minister, her 8-year-old daughter, and others, and augmented by running count of all of the biblical verses used and total cost of various donations solicited and products shilled through the day, the author chronicles this huge—but unknown to many—area of religious culture.
Nadia Bolz-Weber is the mission developer at House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver, Colorado, an emerging liturgical community. She holds a BA in Religious Studies from University of Colorado in Boulder and an MDiv from Iliff School of Theology. She lives in Denver with her husband and two children and blogs at www.sarcasticlutheran.com.
"Laugh-out-loud hysterically funny and also extraordinarily poignant - we need more theology done like this."—Dr Douglas Gay, Lecturer in Practical Theology University of Glasgow, Scotland
"Salvation on the Small Screen is fast, fresh, funny and filled with surprising twists. It is easy to point out what's wrong with a broad satirical target like televangelists. It is tougher to watch closely, with patience, empathy, and openness. Yet, Nadia Bolz-Weber and her eclectic companions find the divine even amidst the most painful religious programming. Now that is miraculous!"—Craig Detweiler, PhD, director, Reel Spirituality Institute, Fuller Theological Seminary and author, Into the Dark: Seeing the Sacred in the Top Films of the 21st Century
"The concept is as clever as it is brave: Spend 24 hours watching 'Christian television' programming, and bring friends. Talk about what you see. Let hilarity and poignancy ensue. Lutheran minister Nadia Bolz-Weber gives us a wincing and winsome look through those cable channels that many ignore and many others make their spiritual bread and butter. With Salvation on the Small Screen? in hand, the reader can thoughtfully go 'behind the label' and check out the ingredients of the oddly-influential Christian media. Bon appetit!" —Mike Morrell, TheOoze.com
"For those searching for faith through the fog of Christian folk religion Nadia Bolz-Weber is the ideal guide. Full of wit, sensitivity, and insight, this book will invite, provoke, and soothe those seeking to find Christianity in the midst of televised faith." —Doug Pagitt, author of A Christianity Worth Believing
"Throughout Salvation on the Small Screen?, she reminds us that even though the shows on big-time Christian Television may be sinful and shameful to one's spiritual health, we're all brothers and sisters in Christ." —Becky Garrison, author of The New Atheist Crusaders and their Unholy Grail and Rising from the Ashes: Rethinking Church
"Turn off your TV and read this book. It's enlightening and entertaining and it doesn't emit any radiation whatsoever." —AJ Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically

Programme Structure
What's special about the MSc in Finance?
- Core Subjects, which give you a grounding in the theory and practice of financial management.
- Select a 'concentration' to tailor the course to your needs, strengths and interests. Pick one of four strands: Financial Analysis, Risk Management, Accounting and Finance, or General. The strand you choose will influence which electives you will take.
- Personal and Professional Development is a key outcome for our graduates – develop your 'soft skills', learn about CVs, interview techniques, careers advice, Trinity alumni, Bloomberg Terminal and much more.
- The Research Project is a key practical application of the course, where you will conduct a substantial piece of applied research.
- Gain key international financial designations from the CFA Institute, the Professional Risk Manager's International Association, and the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst Association.
If you are interested in pursuing a specialization, you can pick either Financial Analysis, Risk Management, or Accounting and Finance. Alternatively, you can stay in the General strand, which gives you the greatest freedom of movement. All students complete twelve modules.

Research Project
This is the culmination of your entire MSc experience. The goal is for each student to apply the array of techniques and knowledge that they have acquired to a real-world managerial, financial or academic concern.
