We printed a story about these sightings on Eyewit3.html some time ago, however, that story did not contain the word "pterodactyl". We came across another version of that same story recently which used the word Pterodactyl in the headline and story. Since we have been making the case that many "giant bird", "mothman" etc. sightings have actually been of a pterosaur (perodactyls are a tyoe of pterosaur), we though we reprint it here.
Also, we received an e-mail which details another long ago eyewitness account of a pterosaur sighting.
Pterodactyl' Seen in sky Over Alaska
By Charles Laurence in New York, 10/20/2002
By Charles Laurence in New York, 10/20/2002
A bird described by witnesses as being as a big as a light aeroplane and looking like a pterodactyl was this weekend becoming Alaska's version of the Loch Ness monster.
News of the "bird" broke after sightings by a bush pilot, his passengers, and a bulldozer operator on the ground below. It had previously been spotted by villagers in the remote south-western corner of Alaska.Г'В
All said that the creature was at least four times the size of the Bald Eagle, America's national symbol. John Bouker, the pilot, spotted it about 1,000ft from his Cessna 207 as he flew towards the village of Manokotak and calculates the creature's wingspan at being 14 or 15 feet, roughly the length of one of his own wings.Г'В
Phil Schemf, a biologist with the US Fish and Wildlife Service in Anchorage, said that reports of an enormous bird had reached his office. "As far as we know," he said, "nothing with a 14ft wingspan has been alive for the last 100,000 years or so."Г'В
Scientists say it may be a Steller's Sea Eagle, the largest known eagle, which may have strayed from its usual habitat in north eastern Siberia. It is the largest species of eagle with a wingspan that can reach eight feet. One of the birds was a regular visitor to Alaska in the 1980s.
Mr Bouker, who has been flying over Alaska for 22 years, insists that the bird he saw was a great deal larger, and was entirely brown – ruling out both Bald and Steller's eagles. "You have got to realise that the thing I saw I mistook for another Cessna coming up on me. This was big, big, big. I have seen maybe 100,000 eagles, and I know that this was an awful lot bigger than an 8ft wingspan. You would not want to have your children out with this guy around," he said
My grandfather who was in the Army or Navy (not sure which) told my mother about an experience he and a buddy had while in Guam during WW 2.
They wandered down to a small village and enjoyed the friendly villager's hospitality for the day. As evening came, the "chief" told them to leave immediately or the "devils from the cliff" would attack them.
After further questioning, the villager's described the huge flying "lizards birds" which would swoop down just after dusk and take a small child or pig (pigs were taken into the huts at night) if given half a chance. The devils were tenacious and vicious and the villager's feared them greatly.
My grandfather was able to bribe a brave man to take him and his friend to see the devils. At the end of a field there was a drop off into a valley. On the other side of the valley were high cliffs. As soon as my grandfather looked where the man was pointing, he saw a Pterosaur! My grandfather was an educated man, he knew a vulture from a Pterosaur.
He took several photos; in some a Pterosaur is coming out of a cave entrance, taking off in a gliding flight pattern and circling. He said he knew the picture would be great close ups with detail because he snapped photos while the Pterosaurs circled lower and lower into the valley directly in front of the men.
Returning to base camp in great excitement, they told the commander what they had seen and the pictures they took. They were both commanded to hand over the cameras immediately! As he related this part to my mom, he spoke in great anger. Why did they have to destroy such incredible evidence?! Why wouldn't they want others to know about it?!
Your guess is as good as mine.
Sincerely, D. S.

Theft Schemes in Dealerships - Is It Happening to You?
By Rex Collins
Article Date:
Copyright(C) 2008 Associated Equipment Distributors. All Rights Reserved.
They're expensive and often undetected - and you may be surprised by which companies are the most vulnerable. Part I of a two-part CED-Exclusive series.
Internal theft is big business. It is estimated that the cost to each employer is $9 per day per employee. For a dealership employing 100 people this amounts to over $234,000 each year. Furthermore, dealerships with fewer than 100 employees are most vulnerable to theft.
The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners' Report to the Nation, states that five percent of a company's revenues are lost to internal fraud. This amounts to over $600 billion dollars for the U.S. economy. Additionally, this report states that the median time it takes to discover a fraud is 18 months. Another study completed in 2007 concluded that 19 percent of all dealers reported employee theft. Finally, another survey indicated that between 25 and 35 percent of dealers are the victims of a significant employee theft every year – and those are just the dealers who discovered it.
A few more numbers of interest:
In 1964, 12 percent of employees admitted stealing.
By 1985, 32 percent admitted employee theft.
For the five-year period ending in 1993, 50 percent of all dealerships experienced theft, and this was increasing at a 5 percent rate.
80 percent of all dealership employees stole something in the last five years.
Experts say that 95 percent of all corporations have experienced or are experiencing employee perpetrated theft, and that less than 10 percent of this fraud is detected.
Certified fraud examiners state that fraud is worse today than five years ago; and even though fraud detection is better, fraud detection resources still are not adequate.
The bottom line here is that theft is happening. It is not a matter of if your employees are stealing from you; it is a matter of how much they are stealing from you.
You may have heard, "crime is 10 percent motivation and 90 percent opportunity," and the fact is, there is plenty of opportunity in dealerships.
The Victim
The most costly abuses occur in organizations with fewer than 100 employees. Because small companies do not have sophisticated systems of internal control, the smaller the company the higher the risk of fraud. Another common attribute of the victim is that they are very trusting of their employees.
Often, the victim can be his own worst enemy by creating negative top down influences. Many times, when the employees see the dealer principals or the managers doing such things as cheating on their taxes or cheating on their spouses, they rationalize that if it is okay for the boss to cheat it's okay for the employee to steal.
In a survey conducted of 2,300 workers, three out of four of these employees saw blatant violations of law or company standards. Sixty-one percent did not think the company would discipline the individuals who violated these laws or standards. Finally 55 percent of the employees said the boss was unapproachable if they had to deliver bad news. This is great news for a thief. In essence, if an employee knows that another employee is stealing, that employee feels that the boss will shoot the messenger rather than deal with the offending employee.
The Thief
For a long time, the image of the white-collar criminal has been a mature, white, college-educated, married, male employee; but in reality, workplace thieves crisscross boundaries of gender, color, marital status and education. A more accurate picture of the thief includes these traits:
Usually works alone
Works long and hard hours
Rationalizes the theft
Repeats the crime
Has access to cash, parts or other liquid assets
Long-term employee
Let's think about these attributes. The individual usually works alone and is working long and hard hours – in order to cover up the crime! The thief usually has access to cash (which would include the ability to authorize, sign or generate checks) and the employee has had a long tenure at the dealership; if the dealer is paying the employee an honest and fair wage plus that employee is also stealing from the dealership, he or she has no reason to change jobs.
There are some warning signs of when a dealer should be concerned that internal theft may be occurring. The initial warning sign concerns the general economic conditions of your industry and your company specifically. Another warning sign is when the dealer has to make the difficult decisions relating to downsizing departments or cutting payroll and/or benefits. Other warning signs specific to the thief are that the individual is experiencing personal stresses such as divorce, illness, drugs, gambling, etc. A relatively new warning sign relates to what is now called the "tweener generation."
People in the "tweener generation" are old enough to have children who have been married and moved away from home and are now going through divorce and moving back home (possibly with children). This same generation is also being burdened with the care of parents as they age. Not too long ago a dealer in Ohio experienced a $35,000 theft loss from an employee in just these circumstances. This long-term employee wrote checks payable to herself and even transferred a company vehicle to her name.
Several studies have demonstrated that 5 to 25 percent of a dealer's employees would never steal. The same studies concluded that 5 percent to 25 percent of dealer's employees would always steal. This leaves 50 to 90 percent of a dealer's employees who would steal if the opportunity presents itself. These facts simply reinforce the importance of having a proper system of controls in place at your dealership.
There are three components of fraudulent transactions:
1.) The employee's pressure or incentives to commit a fraud
2.) The employee's justification or rationalization of the fraud
3.) The perceived opportunity to commit the fraud
Of these three components, only one is controllable by the dealer, and that is the opportunity to commit a fraud. Again, with the proper systems of checks and balances in place the perceived opportunity to commit a fraud is greatly diminished.
Could This Happen to You?
A dealer in the Southeast recently experienced a $95,000 theft loss as the result of the following scheme. The perpetrator of this theft, we'll call her Betty, made entries to the cash clearing account via the purchase journal. The cash clearing account is used to process each day's parts and service sales, and should balance to zero at the end of every day. Betty's entry allowed her to short the daily deposit by the amount of her entry without the books being out of balance.
The entry made via the purchase journal "represented" a bogus credit memo from a vendor. Instead of reducing the cash sales account, a real credit memo would have reduced the parts inventory. In order to reconcile the vendor statement to the dealership's books, Betty showed this bogus credit memo as open at the end of the month. The following month she recorded the entry to eliminate that credit memo and set up another credit memo for the same amount. This second entry's purpose was to give the appearance that the open credit memo was from the current month and therefore looked appropriate on the outstanding list.
Ultimately, a vendor (not necessarily the same vendor) actually issued a valid credit memo. Betty then relieved some of her bogus credit memos and plugged the balance as a reduction to the parts inventory (where the entire credit should actually have been posted anyway). In essence, she covered her theft by applying the valid credit memo to various vendors instead of the parts inventory.
Eventually, Betty no longer went through the laborious process of posting items through accounts payable and falsifying the monthly vendor reconciliation. She simply reduced the cash sales account and increased the parts inventory balance. In this way she was still able to reduce the daily deposit amount and pocket the cash.
How Can They Steal?
Let Me Count the Ways
There are many other ways that dealership employees have been stealing from their companies. Some other examples of theft schemes we have uncovered may illustrate the dangers present in your dealership.
Fraud through Dealership Income
Case 1:
A dealer in the Midwest suffered a theft of $200,000 perpetrated by its general manager (GM). The GM opened the incoming mail and pulled out miscellaneous checks (vendor refund checks, finance reserve payments, etc.). This GM was also responsible for taking the deposit to the bank each day. After he was given the daily deposit by the office he would pocket some of the cash, and replace it with the checks he pulled from the incoming mail. He went so far as to prepare a new deposit slip listing all of the checks, including the ones he added to the deposits, and the new cash amounts. This was done so that the deposit slip the bank processed would match the actual cash and checks received. The deposit receipt provided by the bank thus reflected the original amount of the deposit even though the GM had stolen funds from the dealership.
Case 2:
Another dealer located in the Southeast had a rental operation and was victimized by its rental manager who stole at least $98,000 over a three-year period. The manager encouraged the customers to pay cash for their rental transactions by giving them unauthorized discounts if they paid in cash. She then destroyed the rental tickets and pocketed the cash. This dealership had no system in place for detecting the missing rental agreements and did not fully understand the rental business. Furthermore, it should be noted that the dealer's theft insurance limit was only $25,000.
Case 3:
A dealer in the Louisville area experienced an $80,000 theft loss perpetrated by the office manager. This theft occurred while the dealership was going through computer system changes. These changes created an element of confusion and chaos in the dealership, and the office manager took advantage of the opportunity. In this case the office manager took money out of sales deals and deposited the funds into her own account. She was in charge of all accounting functions and was able to easily cover her tracks.
A concern in today's dealership environment relates to controlling collections of previously written-off accounts receivable. Since these balances are no longer on the company books there is generally no system of checks and balances to ensure that partial payments or full payments, relative to these once bad debts, are truly deposited in the dealership's bank account. We have also worked with many dealers who have suffered at the hands of their vendors. Often vendors will provide prizes, awards or other benefits to the dealership's employees and many times these prizes and awards are not known to the dealer. A relatively simple way to address this problem is through a letter that has been counter-signed by the vendor. This letter states that all prizes, awards and other gifts will be sent to the attention of the dealer principal at the dealership's address. Any violation of this by the vendor will result in monetary damages of, say, $50,000.

This thing is likely going to be out of date in less than 24 hours because of trades and whatnot, but it's unlikely I pump another one of these out between now and the draft. So I present to you my final projection for the 2010 NFL Draft! Enjoy!
1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
-There's been talk as the draft nears that the Rams would be wise to trade down from this pick. However, without a blockbuster offer, it's unlikely to happen. Sam Bradford may not be the best player in this class, but as the best quarterback, he fills the Rams' biggest need and gives them a fresh face to build around.
2. Detroit Lions: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
-On Monday, Lions fans attending a team pre-draft event chanted the name of Ndamukong Suh, to which head coach Jim Schwartz said, "You won't be disappointed." Though some believe the Lions are a candidate to take an offensive tackle, Sam Bradford's selection by the Rams cements Suh as Detroit's pick here.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
-Reports suggest that the Buccaneers may prefer Nebraska defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh over McCoy, but they'll certainly be happy to get the outstanding Oklahoma lineman with Suh off the board. McCoy played in a penetrating one-gap defense for the Sooners, so he'll feel right at home in Tampa Bay's defense.
4. Washington Redskins: Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
-This pick could really go either way between the top two tackles, but there seems to be some legitimate buzz about Trent Williams being the better fit for Mike Shanahan's zone blocking system. The Redskins are in desperate need for offensive line help, so unless Sam Bradford slips, it's hard to believe they won't look at either Williams or Russell Okung.
5. Kansas City Chiefs: Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
-The Chiefs will have an interesting decision to make. They already feel as if they have a talented left tackle in Branden Albert, but Okung's addition would allow them to move Albert to another position on the line, thus upgrading two spots. While Eric Berry will certainly be tempting, I expect the Chiefs to go with Okung if he's available.
6. Seattle Seahawks: C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
-Given the fact that Ray Willis opened Seahawks minicamp as the starting left tackle, offensive line is clearly a need for Seattle. But the best two are off the board, and Bryan Bulaga may not be great value here. C.J. Spiller's ability as a runner, receiver, and return man may remind head coach Pete Carroll of Reggie Bush.
7. Cleveland Browns: Eric Berry, DB, Tennessee
-Despite public comments by Mike Holmgren, the Browns may give some consideration to Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen. However, I think they're willing to wait on their quarterback, especially if Eric Berry slips to this spot. The Tennessee standout would be an immediate upgrade for the Browns at either safety spot.
8. Oakland Raiders: Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
-It's always fun to try and predict whom the Oakland Raiders are going to draft in any given year. Last spring, they shocked many by taking receiver Darius Heyward-Bey over Michael Crabtree. Al Davis has an affinity for speed and potential, and South Florida's Jason Pierre-Paul offers a great combination of both.
9. Buffalo Bills: Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
-It's possible that Buffalo will give Jimmy Clausen a hard look here, as their quarterback situation isn't exactly stable. But they've had a huge hole at left tackle since they traded away Jason Peters, so if one of the top three prospects at the position manages to slide here, it's going to be hard for Buffalo to pass him up.
10. Jacksonville Jaguars: Earl Thomas, DB, Texas
-The Jags are rumored to be interested in C.J. Spiller and Jason Pierre-Paul, but both are off the board at this point. Meanwhile, free safety Reggie Nelson has been a rather big disappointment. Drafting Thomas gives Jacksonville an insurance policy if Nelson flops who can also play cornerback if Reggie turns things around.
11. Denver Broncos (f/CHI): Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
-This could be a landing spot for Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant now that the Broncos traded away Brandon Marshall, but Denver may not want to take on another immature receiver. What they could really use is a thumping presence at inside linebacker in their 3-4 defense, and that's where some feel Rolando McClain's best fit may be.
12. Miami Dolphins: Dan Williams, NT, Tennessee
-The Dolphins have addressed their need at inside linebacker with the addition of Karlos Dansby, and the Brandon Marshall deal eliminates the receiver position from consideration as well. With 35-year-old nose tackle Jason Ferguson set to serve an eight game suspension this year, the Dolphins would be wise to plan for the future.
13. San Francisco *****: Joe Haden, CB, Florida
-Who would have thought the ***** would have to decide between Haden, the draft's top pure corner, and Clausen, one of the best quarterbacks? Though the ***** may feel compelled to take the passer, they still have another pick and can't pass up a cornerback of Haden's talent. Maybe they'll get lucky and Jimmy will continue to slip.
14. Seattle Seahawks (f/DEN): Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
-The Seahawks passed on Bryan Bulaga, thinking they could get value at the tackle position later. Sure enough, the draft's fourth best tackle is still available here. Anthony Davis had the potential to challenge Russell Okung for the top spot at the position, but his offseason was a mixed bag. He'll be welcomed in Seattle as the future replacement for Walter Jones.
15. New York Giants: Mike Iupati, OL, Idaho
-If the Giants want to get back to the power running days of the not-so-distant past, then they're going to need to make some tough decision on their offensive line. Tackle William Beatty will be competing for a starting job this summer, but the addition of a talented blocker like Mike Iupati would be a welcomed addition as well.
16. Tennessee Titans: Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
-In the past two years, the Titans have lost two of their bigger stars on the defensive line in Albert Haynesworth and Kyle Vanden Bosch. Being able to replace talent with talent is a must, and while Tennessee has a few young players on their line, Derrick Morgan would give them a nice building block at the end position.
17. San Francisco ***** (f/CAR): Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
-Well, the ***** rolled the dice and elected to go with Joe Haden with their first first-round pick, hoping they would get lucky and find Clausen available here. Sure enough, the board fell that way. The Notre Dame signal-caller will find numerous targets awaiting him in San Francisco, and should be ready to compete for the job immediately.
18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
-If the Steelers are going to regain their success, they're going to have to do a better job protecting Ben "How you doin'?" Roethlisberger, even if the fan base doesn't want them to. They have needs across the board on their offensive line, but Pouncey is the best value at this point and would be a nice fit as the heir to Justin Hartwig's center job.
19. Atlanta Falcons: Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
-I went back and forth with this pick, between Weatherspoon and Michigan's Brandon Graham. The Falcons have needs at both positions, and both players have had outstanding offseasons. Ultimately though, I went with Weatherspoon, who would be an upgrade over both Mike Peterson and Stephen Nicholas.
20. Houston Texans: Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
-For the longest time, I had Fresno State's Ryan Mathews penciled into this spot. He very well could be the pick. But the Texans already have some bodies in the backfield. Meanwhile, they've done next to nothing to replace Dunta Robinson, who bolted for the Falcons. If Kyle Wilson is still available, he'll be very tempting for Houston.
21. Cincinnati Bengals: Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
-Dez Bryant's free-fall stops at a not-entirely-unexpected location. While the Bengals addressed their need at receiver with the signing of Antonio Bryant, it would be hard for them to pass on the younger Bryant. Dez wouldn't have the pressure to contribute immediately, and he'd give Cincinnati security for the future at receiver.
22. New England Patriots: Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
-The Patriots are shocked that the Bengals passed on Sooners tight end Jermaine Gresham, and though New England may have been considering defense, they could opt to go with the offensive weapon. The Pats signed Alge Crumpler to replace the departing Ben Watson, but Gresham would be a much better long-term replacement.
23. Green Bay Packers: Sergio Kindle, LB, Texas
-In their playoff loss to Arizona, the Packers couldn't seem to bring down Kurt Warner in the pocket. Though they added Clay Matthews last year, they lost Aaron Kampman and need another dynamic pass rushing linebacker for their 3-4 scheme. Kindle finished the season with a great performance against Alabama, and may be the draft's best rush 'backer.
24. Philadelphia Eagles: Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan
-Philadelphia is pretty happy to see Graham here, knowing he could easily go in the 10-20 range to other teams also needing pass rush help. The Eagles have done nothing in free agency to give Trent Cole some help on their defensive line, so I wouldn't expect them to pass on Graham if he's somehow available here.
25. Baltimore Ravens: Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama
-Even though the Ravens made the wide receiver position a free agency priority, it wouldn't be surprising to see them take a talented prospect like Demaryius Thomas. However, their secondary is in need of some youth as well, and Kareem Jackson is a battle-tested cornerback from the SEC who is ready to play pro football.
26. Arizona Cardinals: Jerry Hughes, LB, TCU
-The addition of Joey Porter is a solid move in the short-term, but the Cardinals are going to have to find some solutions for the long-term when it comes to their pass rush. Jerry Hughes was in the opposition's backfield so much in college, he should have set up a tent. He's built perfectly for the 3-4 outside linebacker role.
27. Dallas Cowboys: Taylor Mays, S, USC
-Taylor Mays has taken quite a slide down draft boards since this time last year, where some believed he'd compete with Eric Berry to be the best safety in this class. Now, there's a chance he won't even be drafted in the first round. But since Dallas cut Ken Hamlin and has virtually nothing at the position, I wouldn't be surprised to see them pull the trigger.
28. San Diego Chargers: Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
-If Ryan Mathews makes it by Houston and New England, chances will be good he slides to San Diego. And that's a dream scenario for the Chargers, because after parting ways with LaDainian Tomlinson this offseason, they need someone whom they can pair with electrifying runner Darren Sproles. Mathews would make a nice compliment.
29. New York Jets: Jared Odrick, DL, Penn State
-Another lucky break for a contending AFC team, as Odrick could very well be off the board by this time. He's considered one of the top 3-4 defensive ends in this class, and after the Jets filled needs at cornerback and wide receiver by trading for Antonio Cromartie and Santonio Holmes, they'll be looking to upgrade an aging defensive line.
30. Minnesota Vikings: Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
-The Vikings just signed Lito Sheppard to a one-year deal, but anyone who has watched Lito play the last couple of years knows he shouldn't be seen outside of maybe a dime package. He simply adds to a Vikings secondary already filled with injury concerns. Someone young and talented, like Rutgers' Devin McCourty, would be an ideal pick.
31. Indianapolis Colts: Charles Brown, OT, USC
-The Colts don't seem to be particularly enamored with Charlie Johnson at left tackle, and Tony Ugoh was benched in favor of Johnson. So perhaps it's time for the Colts to try another option for protecting Peyton Manning's blind side. Because of the value of the position, don't be surprised if USC's Brown sneaks into the first round.
32. New Orleans Saints: Everson Griffen, DE, USC
-I really think that Everson Griffen is a good defensive end prospect in his own right, but he's trapped behind a number of other pass rushers in this class. That's not going to bother New Orleans if it means he gets pushed down to the bottom of the first round, because despite their signing of Alex Brown, the Saints could pounce on Griffen.
33. St. Louis Rams: Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech
-Now that the Rams have their quarterback, they need to surround him with weapons. Thomas has loads of upside for the next level.
34. Detroit Lions: Rodger Saffold, OT, Indiana
-The Lions continue to address the trenches, this time by taking an offensive tackle prospect who is building momentum.
35. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
-A great draft so far for Tampa Bay, as they add two Top Ten talents on their line. The problem is only one of them plays up to that potential.
36. Kansas City Chiefs: Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
-The Chiefs are ecstatic to see Tate available here, as it allows them to reunite him with his college coach, Charlie Weis.
37. Philadelphia Eagles (f/WAS): Morgan Burnett, FS, Georgia Tech
-There's talk that the Eagles may want to move up in the first round for a safety; Burnett is a great consolation prize if they stay put.
38. Cleveland Browns: Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
-The Browns waited on a quarterback in the first round, and are rewarded with a guy who many feel is a great fit for Mike Holmgren's West Coast system.
39. Oakland Raiders: Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
-Some people believe the Raiders will take Campbell in the first round, but I have a hard time believing Al Davis is that dumb.
40. San Diego Chargers (f/SEA): Terrence Cody, NT, Alabama
-This is an incredible draft for the Chargers, as they not only improve their backfield, but make a big splash in replacing Jamal Williams at nose tackle.
41. Buffalo Bills: Tim Tebow, QB, Florida
-The Bills went offensive tackle in the first round, so they'll come back in round two and Tebow, who got the thumbs up from Jim Kelly.
42. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (f/CHI): Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State
-The Bucs continue to restock on defense, this time selecting a Florida State standout who just needs to find consistency.
43. Denver Broncos (f/MIA): Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois
-Trading away Brandon Marshall means the Broncos are in the market for a receiver; Benn has first round potential.
44. New England (f/JAX): Jahvid Best, RB, California
-Best may not be able to carry the load at the NFL level, which makes him a nice fit for a Patriots team that features a lot of runners.
45. Denver Broncos: Rob Gronkowski, TE, Arizona
-Though tight end Tony Scheffler wasn't heavily featured in Denver, there's still a pretty sizable need here.
46. New York Giants: Brian Price, DT, UCLA
-Price was a potential first round talent who just didn't seem to impress during the offseason. But he's nice value here for New York.
47. New England Patriots (f/TEN): Tyson Alualu, DL, California
-Trading Richard Seymour to Oakland has left a hole on the Patriots' defensive line; Alualu has a shot at sneaking into the first round.
48. Carolina Panthers: Lamarr Houston, DT, Texas
-The Panthers have lost a number of plays on their defensive line this offseason, so they'll need to use this pick to restock.
49. San Francisco *****: Vladimir Ducasse, OT, Massachusetts
-After passing on an offensive tackle in the first round, San Francisco lucks out and finds Vladimir Ducasse available here.
50. Kansas City Chiefs (f/ATL): Koa Misi, LB, Utah
-Tamba Hali needs some help pressuring the quarterback in Kansas City, and people are raving about Misi's transition to linebacker.
51. Houston Texans: Toby Gerhart, RB, Stanford
-Taking the draft's second best cornerback in the first round proved to be a nice move, as the Texans are able to grab Gerhart here.
52. Pittsburgh Steelers: Chris Cook, DB, Virginia
-Cornerback is one of Pittsburgh's biggest needs, but Cook could also play some safety if Ryan Clark and Will Allen disappoint.
53. New England Patriots: Jason Worilds, LB, Virginia Tech
-Worilds is a converted defensive end who would be an excellent fit as an outside linebacker in the Patriots' 3-4 scheme.
54. Cincinnati Bengals: Nate Allen, S, South Florida
-Cincinnati couldn't resist Dez Bryant in round one, but they'll come back in round two and take a player at an actual position of need.
55. Philadelphia Eagles: Jon Asamoah, OG, Illinois
-There's some uncertainty on the Eagles' offensive line, and Asamoah gives them some options to shift some people around.
56. Green Bay Packers: Jared Veldheer, OT, Hillsdale
-Rather than reach for a tackle in the first round, the Packers sit tight and take a solid small-school prospect in Veldheer.
57. Baltimore Ravens: Linval Joseph, DT, East Carolina
-Joseph is a guy, like Alualu, who could sneak into the first round on draft day. He'd be great value for the Ravens here.
58. Arizona Cardinals: Torrell Troup, NT, UCF
-It's hard to find a good 3-4 nose tackle, so Troup may end up going a bit higher than you'd think. Branch's move to DE makes this position a need.
59. Dallas Cowboys: Alex Carrington, DL, Arkansas State
-The Cowboys are reportedly interested in adding some help on their defensive line, and Carrington looked quite good at the Senior Bowl.
60. Seattle Seahawks (f/SEA): Damian Williams, WR, USC
-I feel Williams is excellent value here, and it just so happens that Seattle's new head coach is his old college coach.
61. New York Jets: Eric Norwood, LB, South Carolina
-The Jets added Jason Taylor, but that isn't a long-term solution. Eric Norwood brings the kind of intangibles that Vernon Gholston lacks.
62. Minnesota Vikings: Dexter McCluster, RB, Mississippi
-Losing Chester Taylor is a bigger blow than some think; McCluster gives Minnesota a nice situational guy behind AP.
63. Indianapolis Colts: Brandon Ghee, CB, Wake Forest
-The loss of Marlin Jackson leaves the Colts thin at cornerback; Ghee has the skills to be a good zone coverage defender.
64. New Orleans Saints: Daryl Washington, LB, TCU
-Having missed out on a linebacker in the first round, the Saints come back in round two and find Washington, who could replace Scott Fujita.
Round Three (65): Montario Hardesty, RB, Tennessee
-There's some concern about Hardesty's past injuries, but he won't be asked to carry the load in St. Louis. His skills as a blocker and receiver make him especially intriguing.
Round Four (99): Jermaine Cunningham, DE, Florida
-Less heralded than teammate Carlos Dunlap, Cunningham is an appealing mid-round option for a Rams team in need of help at defensive end.
Round Five (132): Pat Angerer, LB, Iowa
-The Rams appear to have some serviceable options at linebacker, but Angerer's work ethic could get him a look.
Round Five (135): Larry Asante, DB, Nebraska
-Asante calls himself "The Assassin" and prides himself on being a big hitter from the safety position.
Round Six (170): Colin Peek, TE, Alabama
-The Rams found better value than tight end early on, but Peek is from the old school mold and could compete for time.
Round Seven (211): Nate Collins, DT, Virginia
-Played the nose in Virginia's 3-4 scheme, but is viewed as a possible candidate for the three-technique spot in the pros.
Round Seven (226): Ryan Stamper, LB, Florida
-Good size; showed up big in Brandon Spikes' absence against Tennessee last season.
Round Seven (254): Andrew Tyshovnytsky, OT, Fordham
-A small school tackle gaining some momentum, Tyshovnytsky impressed at his pro day.

Thats weird, I keep finding cameras at my house. It seems pretty plausible that there might be a wormhole connecting our homes. Your lost cameras become my found cameras.
I have a box of about 1000 35mm slides and it simply vanish. I have tried for 15 years to find them but couldn't find them. I know they were not stolen. Too bad too because they were the good ones that I have selected to keep and I lost them while that bad ones are still laying around the house.

Do like I do... buy only one color of socks.
A few years ago I went stupid buying up a buttload of P&S cams. Quite a few of them seem to have vanished, though I found them again last night, in a plastic bag hanging on a nail in my basement where I wouldn't lose them.

I got it free and love it, haven't found anything similar. I've though about a WTB on here or trade, I've got a few pre-AI Nikkors I would part with in a trade for one. I loved it, was a great 35mm compact walkaround when I didn't feel like carrying an SLR. I could literally fit it in my pocket.

Indian Tribal Dances are performed strictly by aboriginal populations in the country. These people, sometimes denominated as adivasi, possess a culture, distinct from the pan Indian population, the cosmopolitan urban populace. It may be noted here that Indian tribal dances are vastly dissimilar from Indian folk dances; there is no thread that binds the two. A common example of a tribal dance is the
Santhali Dance
, indigenous from
West Bengal
. Other tribal dances of India include the
Dhimsa dance
by Oriya tribes, the Dhimsa dance, yet another tribal dance from
Andhra Pradesh
, the
tribal dances. Each of these aboriginal tribes possesses their own distinguishable dance traditions and invariably all of them are interwoven with the life of the people who perform the same.
In some instances of Indian tribal dances, the dancing is simple and comprises of little more than insignificant mixing of the feet or waving of the hands. At other times it is just swaying of the body to the clapping of hands, or beating of primitive drums to designate time. Yet another tribal dance form demonstrates only the monotonous movement of the hands and feet. But, generally speaking, a wide range of movement requiring all parts of the body, the head, back, hips, arms, fingers and the feet and even facial muscles are employed in tribal dances.
There exist extremely complicated Indian tribal dances as well, in which dancing mixes with gesture, evincing the whole spectrum of sentiment. In such instances, the rhythm is maintained by swaying the body and intricate steps executed with expert foot-work. Usually the dances begin in a slow note, gathering momentum in the middle and working up to a heavy tempo.
Some Indian tribes pen down their songs themselves to accompany their dances. Either the dancers sing themselves or the onlookers sing and participate. Special musical instruments for Indian tribal dances are also utilised at times, but the drum is almost a requisite feature.
Costumes of the dancers vary from estimated bareness to full attire and ornaments which are exceedingly colourful and ornate. Tribal people make up an indispensable segment of the teeming millions in the country. India owns the second largest tribal sects in Kerala. Paniya, Adiya, Urali, Kattunaikka, Irula, Muduva, Aranadan are the high-flying tribal communities. Some of the more well known tribal dances of Kerala include Elelakkaradi, Kadarkali, Kurumbarkali, Paniyarkali, Edayarkali, Mudiyattam and Vedarkali.
Apart from
, each state and union territories in India has their unique tribal dance forms. The remarkable Indian tribal dance "Brato" of Bengal is essentially an in-vocational dance, preferred by barren women, worshipping their presiding deity after entreaties for progeny is answered. The legendary "Bihu" dance of
is part of the Bihu Utsav after the harvest season is over. Both men and women perform it in daylight.
Islands possess its own folk dance form, named the "Lava". The
Dadra and Nagar Haveli
tribals have their amiable dance form of "Tarpa", in which the dancers tap their feet on moonlit nights, encircling the "Tarpakar" to dance past midnight. This specific Indian tribal dance is heavily accompanied by music. The "Bhavada" dance utilises masks and colourful costumes in the Dadra and Nagar Haveli region. The state of Tripura, with its large tribal population of Riangs, who venerate both tribal and
Hindu Gods
, survives on agriculture. To certify a good harvest, they mollify
Goddess Lakshmi
by a dance of young maidens named the "Hawaii".
Andhra Pradesh houses many tribal sects such as the Bhanjaras, Chenchus and Mathuris. In the "Dandaria dance", apart from instruments, time is also maintained by striking sticks one against the other. The Bhanojaras and the Lambadis have costumes of light hues and skirts and blouses studded with small mirrors. Their dance form is called "Bhanjara".
, the Toda and the Kurumba tribals of Kerala, have rites, rituals and ceremonies, all revolved around agriculture. Kummi and Kolattam are the two most famous folk dances performed by the tribal women of Tamil Nadu. In Kummi, claps maintain the beat, while in Kollattam beat is sustained by striking two sticks. In this form of Indian tribal dance, each dancer possesses two sticks often painted in dazzling colours. In "Pinnal Kolattam", some divisions of the group systematically work up a visual pattern, lacing coloured ropes together, hung from a peg in the ceiling, synchronous with the music. In course of the dance, the "Pinnal" or the plait is also slowly disentangled to synchronise with the music and the ropes are back to their single-strand shape, precisely when the dance and the music stops. The Muslim community of Tamil Nadu possess a monopoly over the dance called "Pulli Atam", where the men folk dress ornately like a stripped carnivore, with tail, claws, whiskers and dance in the streets. "Karagam" is another Indian tribal dance form of
Tamil Nadu
dedicated to Goddess Mariamman, the Goddess of health and rain. Men and women balance pots of uncooked rice on their heads to the accompaniment of pipes and drums.
"Kunitha" is a generic term, emblematic of a ritualistic dance in Karnataka. In the "punja Kunitha", a wooden structure is balanced on the head with a deity within it. The "Dollu Kunitha" is a much-admired drum dance of Karnataka. The men play on large drums decorated with coloured cloth, slung around their necks, beating on it as they dance. Indian tribal dances are truly varied and umpteen, much like the country's other aspects, united with diversity.

AudienceSmall Business and Self Employed (SB/SE) and Large Business and International (LB&I) Examiners
Effective Date(07-29-2011)
Duane Gillen
Director, Examination Policy
Small Business/Self-Employed Division
The general rule of disclosure advises that no return or return information can be disclosed by employees of the United States. Information provided to or gathered by Internal Revenue Service employees is to be considered confidential and may not be disclosed except under limited circumstances. Congress recognized that it might be necessary for tax information to be disclosed in order to effectively administer the tax laws of the United States. Therefore, they have carefully crafted exceptions to the general rule.
A knowledge of disclosure laws and procedures will assist employees in understanding what those limitations are and help them to be able to balance the need to protect taxpayer confidentiality while being able to make disclosures of tax information to complete your assigned duties. IRM 11.3Disclosure of Official Information, provides detailed instructions relating to disclosure procedures.
See the Disclosure website for guidance and contact information at http://mysbse.web.irs.gov/Disclosure/Reference/default.aspx.
The purpose of this section is to provide examiners with a brief explanation of the more commonly encountered disclosure issues which may arise in the course of the examination process. More detailed disclosure procedures are set forth in IRM 11.3, Disclosure of Official Information.
The Office of Disclosure (hereinafter referenced as Disclosure) provides advice and guidance on a variety of technical issues to employees servicewide. Contact information for disclosure issues and personnel is available on the Disclosure website at http://mysbse.web.irs.gov/Disclosure/Office/default.aspx. This website provides the disclosure help desk telephone number, employee contact phone numbers, and employee e-mail addresses.
The contact information listed on this site is for IRS employee internal use only.
Whenever practical, information should be obtained directly from taxpayers or their authorized representatives. However, in certain situations the information needed cannot be obtained from the taxpayer in an accurate, useful, or timely manner. For example:
The service of an outside appraiser for income, estate, or gift tax cases meeting specific requirements (generally in the Internal Revenue Manual) is required.
The taxpayer is unwilling or unable to obtain or provide the requested records.
The examiner needs to corroborate a taxpayer's statements or information.
Examiners, in connection with their official duties, may disclose return information to a third party to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to obtain information which is not otherwise reasonably available. IRC 6103(k)(6), Disclosure by Certain Officers and Employees for Investigative Purposes, and its implementing Treas. Reg. 6103(k)(6)-1, allows examiners to make certain investigative disclosures to third parties to obtain information, but only when specific conditions are met.
Investigative disclosure rules apply under various circumstances, including the performance of official duties relating to examinations by employees.
Only return information, not the return itself, may be disclosed. Return information includes:
Taxpayer's identity data (name, address, social security number).
Fact of tax investigation.
Information taken from a return. Pertinent data (sources and amounts of income, deductions, expenses, etc.), may be extracted from a return and used to solicit information for investigative disclosure purposes.
See IRC 6103(b)(2) for a definition of return information.
Examiners should disclose only the minimum amount of information necessary to secure the facts needed for their investigation. Investigative disclosures must be initiated solely to obtain information. This investigative tool may be used to make a disclosure in person, by mail, or to establish search terms to access data from the Internet or electronic databases. Disclosures to third parties should only be made when necessary to secure data examiners cannot otherwise obtain, or to make initial contact in acquiring the services of a qualified expert (e.g., handwriting analysis or appraisals).
An investigative disclosure does not provide for an exchange of information.
The examiner requests copies of invoices from a third party regarding sales made to a specific taxpayer. After providing the invoices, the third party solicits the current address of the taxpayer to collect a debt. The examiner may not provide the address because that disclosure would be for the benefit of the third party and is not necessary to obtain the invoices.
Investigative disclosures may be subject to the third party contact rules as required by IRC 7602(c). See Treas. Reg. 301.6103(k)(6)-1(a)(4) which advises IRC 7602(c) does not address or affect the requirements under IRC 7602(c) (relating to contact of third parties).
IRM 4.11.57, Examining Officers Guide - Third Party Contacts and IRM 11.3.21, Investigative Disclosure provides additional guidance.
Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) data from the Web Currency and Banking Retrieval System (WebCBRS) must be afforded the same protection as information from a confidential informant and cannot be disclosed. See IRM 4.26.14, Bank Secrecy Act - Disclosure, for disclosure rules for the Title 31 data from WebCBRS.
When the service of a qualified expert is needed during an examination or other enforcement activities, disclosure of return information may be required. For example, if such expert is needed to provide testimony in court.
Authority to disclose return information to obtain such services is contained in Treas. Reg. 301.6103(n)-1, Treas. Reg. 301.6103(k)(6)-1(b)(5), and 5 USC 552a(b) in the case of individual records.
Whenever possible, the services of experts for investigative purposes should be engaged under IRC 6103(n) and its implementing regulation, rather than IRC 6103(k)(6) and its implementing regulation. Safeguard and Privacy Act provisions apply to IRC 6103(n), whereas statutory confidentially protection provisions of the IRC do not apply to IRC 6103(k)(6). IRM 126.96.36.199, Contractual Disclosures for Investigative Purposes provides additional information.
IRC 6103(c) and Treas. Reg. 301.6103(c)-1 allow examiners to make disclosures of federal tax returns or return information to persons or organizations designated by the taxpayer. The designation is typically provided by the taxpayer in writing.
A Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, may be used by a taxpayer to authorize disclosure of tax information and to permit a representative to act on behalf of the taxpayer.
A Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization, authorizes any individual, corporation, firm, organization, or partnership the taxpayer designates to inspect and/or receive their confidential information. It does not authorize the appointee to advocate the taxpayer's position with respect to the Federal tax laws; to execute waivers, consents, or closing agreements; or to otherwise represent the taxpayer before the IRS. See IRM 184.108.40.206.7.2, Form 8821 - Tax Information Authorization.
Disclosure authority is limited to only those tax years listed on the authorization (Form 2848 or Form 8821). Should the examiner need to expand the scope of the examination to include additional tax years or types of returns, the examiner should contact the taxpayer to determine if they want the representative to act on their behalf for the expanded coverage and then secure an authorization with the expanded coverage.
Examiners can obtain an oral authorization from the taxpayer allowing them to discuss tax matters for any periods not covered by an authorization form. See IRM 126.96.36.199.1, Requirements for Oral Authorization, for a complete discussion of the requirements for oral authorization.
Details of the oral authorization should be recorded on Form 9984Examining Officer's Activity Record, or equivalent form for LB&I examiners. Remember, the examiner must take reasonable steps to confirm the identity of the taxpayer and the designee before disclosing any return information to a third party. The disclosure of return information must be limited to the information covered in the authorization and in these instances, disclosure can only be made to third parties helping taxpayers resolve a federal tax matter. Additional guidance is provided in IRM 126.96.36.199.1, Requirements for Oral Authorization, IRM 126.96.36.199.4.2.4, Verbal Requests, and IRM 126.96.36.199.2, Requirements for Verbal or Electronic Requests.
Oral authorizations do not take the place of a power of attorney authorizing a third party to represent the taxpayer before the IRS. If you are dealing with a power of attorney with the taxpayer giving you verbal authorization to conduct or expand your examination, you will still need to secure a Form 2848 that includes the additional years or types of returns to allow the power of attorney to practice before the IRS. Additional information concerning verbal authorizations can be found at http://mysbse.web.irs.gov/CLD/GLD/Disclosure/Reference/HotTopics/POA/15048.aspx on the Disclosure website. Other information about disclosures to designees and practitioners can be found at IRM 11.3.3, Disclosure to Designee and Practitioners. See also the Access and Authentication section on the Disclosure website at http://mysbse.web.irs.gov/cld/gld/disclosure/reference/hottopics/irc6103/6541.aspx.
If the examiner receives a subpoena or is asked to testify, there are certain requirements that must be met prior to being authorized to testify or produce IRS records. An examiner cannot agree to testify or produce records without consulting with Counsel (contact counsel servicing your area) or with Disclosure. The employee can obtain contact information for Disclosure from the Disclosure help desk at http://mysbse.web.irs.gov/Disclosure/Reference/default.aspx.
If the IRS is a party in the matter, that is, the examiner is being asked to testify for the government in a tax case, the examiner must immediately contact Counsel and follow their directions.
If the IRS is not a party to the matter, but the subpoena requests IRS records or testimony, the examiner must immediately contact Disclosure and follow Disclosure's directions. A common situation might be where an examiner is subpoenaed to testify or produce IRS records in a divorce proceeding.
Most subpoenas have a short response time, so time is always of the essence. The Counsel or Disclosure employee assigned will ask the examiner for the information contained in the subpoena, as well as the examiner's involvement in the matter. If Counsel or Disclosure personnel needs to be involved, they will request the examiner hand carry, fax, or e-mail (secure mail if taxpayer information or personally identifiable information) a copy of the subpoena to them.
Counsel or Disclosure will contact the individual who issued the subpoena to explain IRS's procedure and the disclosure provisions of IRC 6103, Confidentiality and Disclosure of Returns and Return Information. They will also determine if the IRS can substitute certified documents in lieu of an appearance by an IRS employee. If an appearance is required, either Counsel or Disclosure as appropriate will coordinate the necessary testimony authorizations. Without this authorization, employees may not testify or even discuss the case with the requesting party.
If the examiner must testify in court or give a deposition, an attorney from Counsel or the Office of the United States Attorney will typically accompany the examiner. When testifying or presenting documents, the examiner must keep the disclosure restrictions in mind. Testimony should be limited to the issue at hand and stay within the bounds of the testimony authorization. For additional advice on testimony see IRM 11.3.35, Requests and Demands for Testimony and Production of Documents, Treas. Reg. 301.9000-1, 26 CFR 301.9000-1, and the Disclosure website at http://mysbse.web.irs.gov/CLD/GLD/Disclosure/Reference/HotTopics/Other/3082.aspx/.
During the course of an examination, the examiner may be asked by a taxpayer or representative for a copy of the examiner's files or workpapers. IRC 6103(e), Disclosure to Persons Having Material Interest, provides for the release of information to the taxpayer or their representative. This section advises that the Service shall give taxpayers access to their returns or return information unless the Secretary determines that the release of the information would seriously impair tax administration.
If approached to provide copies of administrative files, the examiner should be sure the person requesting access has a legal right to the information. The examiner must also review the information prior to its release to determine that the release of the information would not seriously impair tax administration. IRC 6103(e)(7) allows the IRS to withhold return information (administrative file and workpapers) if that release would impair tax administration. Requests involving complex or unusual circumstances should be coordinated with the appropriate Disclosure personnel.
Listed below are instances where the examiner may need to request assistance from Disclosure:
The file contains informant information.
The file contains sensitive information that could hamper the investigation (for example development of badges of fraud).
The file contains third party tax information that cannot be disclosed.
DIF scores found on charge out sheets are not to be released unless they are "000" . The release of DIF scores could feasibly reveal how returns may be selected for audit and are prohibited from being released by IRC 6103(b)(2).
A taxpayer has the right to information used in determining his or her tax liability, so impairment determinations should not be so narrowly construed to prevent the release of all information. Impairment determinations are generally made at the supervisory level. If the examiner has any concerns about whether something in the file should be released, contact should be made with Disclosure.
At times the IRS is required to summons documents as well as contact third parties to obtain necessary information. Any summoned document and/or third party contact information is return information. Such information can be withheld if the IRS determines that its release would:
Jeopardize collection of any tax,
Involve reprisal against any person, or
Jeopardize any pending criminal investigation.
Sometimes a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request is necessary for the employee to provide the requester with information being sought. If a FOIA request is required, it must be processed by the Disclosure office that has jurisdiction over the records being sought. FOIA requirements are provided in IRM 11.3.13, Freedom of Information Act and on the IRS.gov website at http://mysbse.web.irs.gov/Disclosure/Reference/default.aspx type FOIA in the search box.
IRM 11.3.2, Disclosure to Persons with a Material Interest, provides additional information concerning who may be authorized to receive return information, including copies of files or workpapers.
The IRS provides tax information to the states for their use in administering state tax laws. IRC 6103(d), Disclosure to State Tax Officials and State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies, provides the requirements for states to receive tax information. Although it is not common for examination employees to be involved in the actual exchanges of information under these provisions, examiners need to be aware that they can receive information directly from a state taxing agency, but they cannot disburse any information. All requests from state agencies should be referred to Disclosure. See IRM 11.3.32, Disclosure to States for Tax Administration Purposes. If assistance is needed with securing information from a state agency, the examiner should contact Disclosure.
Employees may become aware of an unauthorized disclosure and/or inspection of records during the course of their examination. Actions to be taken by the employee and time frames are as follows:
Information Loss - All information losses or thefts must be reported within one hour. See IRM 10.5.4.3.1, Timely Reporting: Within One Hour.
Intentional Unauthorized Disclosure - If the employee becomes aware of an intentional unauthorized disclosure, the incident must be reported to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) as soon as possible. See IRM 10.5.4.3.2, Intentional Unauthorized Disclosures.
Inadvertent Disclosure - If the employee becomes aware of an inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information, or the loss or theft of an IT asset or hardcopy record or document containing sensitive information, the employee is required to report the incident within one hour. See IRM 10.5.4.3.3, Inadvertent Disclosures.
The Incident Management Breach/Data Loss Notification Process website page at http://irweb.irs.gov/AboutIRS/bu/pipds/pip/itim/victim_notification/default.aspx assists IRS employees in understanding and applying their disclosure responsibilities.

Kohler's Tyler Lewis returns a shot against during a tennis match in May 23, during the WIAA Division 2 boys tennis sectional. Lewis is the Sheboygan Press Media All-Area Tennis Player of the Year.
- Filed Under
When Tyler Lewis picked up his diploma last month at Kohler High School's graduation ceremony, he did so with a fuzzy green tennis ball affixed to the top of his royal blue mortarboard.
The sartorial flourish was fitting for a senior who for four years had lived, breathed and slept tennis.
The four-time Division 2 state qualifier, who played in the Blue Bombers' No. 1 singles spot each year of his high school career, has come to embody the gentleman's game's polite spirit - without giving up an ounce of competitive edge - his now-retired coach, Wendy Tauscheck, said. ...

Am planning a solo trip to Thailand in Nov. 09. Will be there for four weeks. Looking for others to hang out/travel with. Am in my 40s and not into bars and partying. My idea of entertainment is dinner, some drinks and good conversation. Starting in Bangkok, Kanchaburi, Chang Mai, Angkor Wat then somewhere in Andaman Islands. Looking for quiet guesthouses in all these locations. Respond if you'll be in the area during that timeframe and maybe we can hook up. From Portland, Oregon, USA

Im doing a solo trip from Oct 27-Nov 30 but im starting in Hanoi and making my way to thailand. My itinerary is far from concrete at the moment but I am thinking I will most likely be in Siem Reap sometime in mid November and then making my way to southern Thailand for a week or so before I go back home. Im 41 from Toronto Canada

I'll be in Bangkok from the 12th November for a week or so but I also plan on heading over to Kanchaburi from there and then a chilled journey up to Chang Mai stopping off at a few places in between. I'm looking to book myself into New Road Guest House in Bangkok for the time I'm there. Let me know if this fits in with you?

I will be in Chiang Mai from 14-20NOV building houses and still undecided on what to do before and after. I'd be keen to compare plans and possibly meet up. Am 40 from London, UK.

Thanks for your responses. I'm sorry that I haven't responded until now.
As a solo travler on her first trip to Asia I've gone back and forth about where to do a tour or not. Today I'm thining NOT! For me part of the experience is meeting new people along the way and having the flexibility to go where I want when I want. With a tour I'm just not sure I'd be able to see and do all I wanted.
It's a bit nervewracking though. But this site offers lots of encouragement. Still it would be great to hook up with a few people that I've met online while I'm there or at least correspond and share ideas.
I'm going to be in Thailand from Oct. 30 to Nov. 26. Not quite four weeks. Because of that I've decided to spend all of my time in one country. I want to spend the first fews days (10/31 to 11/3) in Bangkok getting oriented and sightseeing. Then I plan to head to central Thailand (11/4-9) (Kanchanaburi/Sangklaburi) for a week then to the Chiang Mai area (11/10-16) for a week or so. That's a very loose plan - nothing is set in stone. From 11/16 on though, I am committed to a hotel on Phuket (Kata Beach) that I pre-booked and can't cancel. But I figure from there I can do all beach/sightseeing things.
I'd consider myself the adventurous sort - I'm looking forward to staying in some of the guest houses I've read about on Travelfish, using local transport, eating street food and doing whatever comes up. I'm planning to do some trekking and kayaking....
I'm not a partyer, not a huge drinker, nor do I want to hook up with someone for romance. That's just not on my agenda for this trip. But I do want to meet people to hang out with over dinner, ride a bus, train or elephant with, or people-watch at chatuchak market with. That would be fun.
If this seems to fit with your plans and with what you're looking for from your travel experience, feel free to drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
P.S. For guesthouses in Bangkok, I'm considering Silom or off-Khao San Road areas...Lubd Guesthouse, Rambuttri Village Inn or Sam Sen Place. In Chiang Mai, I'm thinking about the Green Tulip Guest House because it's gotten great reviews.
Sorry for the long post.

Hey everyone!
I recently rescued a 17.3hh 2008 Thoroughbred gelding. He is about 250+ lbs under weight & he has a proud flesh on one of his back legs from a pasture accident. He had sand stuck in his digestive tract which I have managed to get rid of with Sand clear. His hooves were trimmed WAY too short so he hobbles around uncomfortably & I am afraid he will get some abscesses if I leave it like it is now. I don't really know what to do. I have rehabilitated horses before but this boy has shown to be a little more difficult. He HATES it when I try & work on his proud flesh & will get really uneasy. Any ideas? Should I get shoes for him so he is more comfortable? I need your help!
What he is being fed right now: (which has slowly been introduced over time)
Unlimited access to fresh hay, fresh water & a protein salt block. Slowly being introduced to rich green grass.
Three times a day:
Two scoops of Dumor 14%.
1/4 scoop of Alfalfa pellets.
1/4 scoop of beet pulp.
A cup of Calf manna.
Farnam weight builder.
Once a day with his night feed:
A cup of corn oil.
Apple a day.
Sand clear (2nd week just to make sure all the sand is gone!)
Electro dex.
Vita-biotin crumbles.
Farnam Vita-plus.
Should I be changing what he is being fed to help him gain weight & muscle? Once his feet are better I am going to start ground work (lunged, ect.) with him to build muscle but until then he is just being grazed by hand.
So what should I do for the proud flesh?
His hooves?
To build his weight?

Hello to everybody!
I'm using Pitch Theme with pleasure on my website. I have only two small issues with featured images inside a project page and the projects archive title.
1) Featured images in a project page: Usually the picture is too large and prominent, and I'd like to resize it, to give a bit more prominence to the text. How to do it without previously resizing the images prior to upload? Check: http://www.dangelos.it/servizi/contribuenti-minimi/
I guess it could be done by CSS...I tried inspecting the code with Firebug without a solution...
2) Projects Archive title: Although I changed the Project archive title in the settings it shows up as Projects - Website titleServizi offerti. I'd want to show only Servizi offerti, as set in the settings. For now I solved changing directly the archive-project.php page, but what if I'd like to change it quickly from the theme settings? Check: http://www.dangelos.it/servizi/ Anybody had a similar issue?
Thanks for your help!!!!

Merck suspends availability of Trepadtive
Merck announced the company is taking steps to suspend the availability of Trepadtive tablets worldwide. Trepadtive is not approved for use in the United States. Merck is taking these steps based on the current understanding of the preliminary data from the HPS2-THRIVE study, and in consultation with regulatory authorities. As previously reported by Merck, HPS2-THRIVE did not achieve its primary endpoint of reduction of major vascular events, and there was a statistically significant increase in the incidence of some types of non-fatal serious adverse events in the group that received Trepadtive compared to statin therapy. The decision to suspend availability of the medicine is aligned with the recommendation of the European Medicine Agency's Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee based on the trial's results.

Eli Lilly, Merck expand immuno-oncology collaboration
Eli Lilly (LLY) and Merck (MRK) announced the extension of an existing collaboration to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of Lilly's Alimta and Merck's Keytruda in a pivotal Phase III study in first-line nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC. The study will be sponsored by Merck and will be open to patients with NSCLC in the first-line setting, regardless of PD-L1 status. Financial details of the collaboration were not disclosed. The expansion of this oncology clinical trial collaboration comes following the release of encouraging data from a Phase I study, presented earlier this year at the 16th World Congress on Lung Cancer, which evaluated pemetrexed, carboplatin and pembrolizumab in first-line nonsquamous NSCLC.

Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany remains responsible for all other commercial and medical affairs functions associated with the launch and promotion of evofosfamide. The development milestone payment and royalty payment portions of the License and Co-Commercialization Agreement remain the same. To date Threshold has received upfront and milestone payments of $110 million and can earn additional potential milestone payments of up to $440M.

Merck to present new KEYTRUDA findings at upcoming congresses
Merck announced that data investigating the use of KEYTRUDA, the company's anti-PD-1 therapy, in advanced non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, classical Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer will be presented at four medical congresses through the end of this year. In total, data from more than 30 abstracts will be presented at the Society for Melanoma Research 2015 Congress in San Francisco, Nov. 18 - 21; the 57th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida, Dec. 5 - 8; the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, Dec. 8 - 12; and the European Society for Medical Oncology Asia 2015 Congress in Singapore, Dec. 18 - 21. By the end of 2015, data on the anti-tumor activity of KEYTRUDA will have been presented across more than 20 tumor types. "The field of immuno-oncology holds great potential across a broad spectrum of cancers," said Dr. Roy Baynes, senior vice president and head of global clinical development, Merck Research Laboratories. "Data for KEYTRUDA being presented at these scientific meetings include a first-time comparison to chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer, novel combination data in advanced melanoma as well as first-time data in two additional tumor types, namely multiple myeloma and hormone receptor positive breast cancer, further demonstrating our deep commitment to advancing cancer treatment."

so let me get this straight,
you are saying in the positions they are in now after QP
jlo pedro cal , that will be your top 3, and you seriousy think MM and Rossi wont pass Dovi, ?? Dovi is a good rider and hard to pass but on the Duc even he isnt sure how long his tyres are going to last the distance.
QP positions means nothing once the red lights go out. who's going to get a good start, who's going to get blocked going into the first turn,
anything can happen and always does. how many times have we seen a rider get Pole and he's already lost that spot going into the first turn.

Ask anyone who was in their teens in the late '80s or early 90s and they'll likely tell you that Christian Slater was one of the hottest things in the world. The quintessential Hollywood bad boy reached heartthrob status in the classic teen black comedy "Heathers," but he's been laying low in recent years. He's now back with his new FOX show "Breaking In," premiering on April 6. To help reacquaint you with Slater's past and present, we offer you these lesser-known facts about the legendary bad boy.
