abstract = {Information diffusion and virus propagation are fundamental processes
talking place in networks. While it is often possible to directly
observe when nodes become infected, observing individual transmissions
(i.e., who infects whom or who influences whom) is typically very
difficult. Furthermore, in many applications, the underlying network
over which the diffusions and propagations spread is actually unobserved.
We tackle these challenges by developing a method for tracing paths
of diffusion and influence through networks and inferring the networks
over which contagions propagate. Given the times when nodes adopt
pieces of information or become infected, we identify the optimal
network that best explains the observed infection times. Since the
optimization problem is NP-hard to solve exactly, we develop an efficient
approximation algorithm that scales to large datasets and in practice
gives provably near-optimal performance. We demonstrate the effectiveness
of our approach by tracing information cascades in a set of 170 million
blogs and news articles over a one year period to infer how information
flows through the online media space. We find that the diffusion
network of news tends to have a core-periphery structure with a small
set of core media sites that diffuse information to the rest of the
Web. These sites tend to have stable circles of influence with more
general news media sites acting as connectors between them.},

Recent work in "non-traditional" authorship attribution demonstrates
the practicality of automatically analyzing documents based on authorial
style, but the state of the art is confusing. Analyses are difficult
to apply, little is known about type or rate of errors, and few "best
practices" are available. In part because of this confusion, the
field has perhaps had less uptake and general acceptance than is
its due. This review surveys the history and present state of the
discipline, presenting some comparative results when available. It
shows, first, that the discipline is quite successful, even in difficult
cases involving small documents in unfamiliar and less studied languages;
it further analyzes the types of analysis and features used and tries
to determine characteristics of well-performing systems, finally
formulating these in a set of recommendations for best practices.},

The Edinburgh Festival 2012's Funniest Comics Share Their New Jokes!
The sheer utter amazingness of the Edinburgh Festival – which started last week – doesn't take a lot of explaining.
Basically, it's the country's finest comedians performing in a series of random locations across a city where you can drink 24 hours a day. For one whole month.
With that in mind, we thought we would celebrate this mammoth event by getting seven of our favourite stand-up comedians – all of whom are doing brand new shows in the Scottish capital this month – together in a pub for a few beers.
Needless to say, when they started telling us what it is that makes the Festival so great/bizarre/exhausting, there was a fair bit of laughter…
Charlie Baker
Jack Black-a-like (so say the others)
"The last show I did in Edinburgh I was getting drunk most days, partly because I had to down a pint as part of my show. That meant I was on it for pretty much 30 consecutive days. At the end of that, I felt pretty damn ill. I thought my skin was going to fall off.
I also got punched by an old lady randomly in the street. Well it looked like a punch, so I flinched, but it was actually like getting hit by a marshmallow. She'd definitely been on the Buckfast. I don't think she'd seen my show, but you never know…"
Festival funny
"When I had my first kiss, the bloke next to me was getting tossed off. That's the closest I've ever been to being a professional footballer."
Charlie will be performing nightly at the Pleasance Below at 7.15pm

|Coker College Establishes New Campus in Marion
For more information, contact Barb Steadman - 843.857.4199
HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Feb. 9, 2011 – Coker College President Robert Wyatt announced today that the college is establishing a campus in Marion County.
Beginning Monday, March 14 – the first day of classes of the fourth term of this academic year – adults can pursue Coker College's fully accredited, baccalaureate degrees in business, social work and sociology/criminology in the Marion County Adult Education building at 410 East Liberty Street in downtown Marion.
"While Coker has provided educational opportunities at night for motivated adults in the Pee Dee since 1983, we are particularly pleased about our new Marion campus," said Coker College President Robert Wyatt.
"During quickly changing and stressful economic times, it's critically important that Marion County residents can access the kinds of high-caliber educational programs that underpin the region's long-term economic development," he said.
According to a 2010 report from the Lumina Foundation for Education, higher education is essential to any region's economic success.
"Analyses of economic growth show that the vitality of economies – either local or national – depends less on 'home runs' (such as securing a new manufacturing plant) than on the skills and knowledge of the work force. Talent is the key, and higher education is the lever for developing it," the report, "A Stronger Nation Through Higher Education," said.
For Associate Dean Barbara Jackowski, who directs all of Coker College's Adult Learners Programs for Higher Achievement, one of the primary benefits of Coker's programs is the seriousness with which the College takes the responsibility of accommodating the needs of busy, working adults.
"After serving the region's adults for nearly three decades, we've developed a deep appreciation not only for the skills and talents of adult learners, but also of their remarkable drive to achieve," Jackowski said. "As a result, we are committed to offering programs that are flexible enough to accommodate the complexities that come with trying to earn a degree and support a family at the same time. It is simply core to what we do here."
Coker College readies undergraduates for personal and professional success through a distinctive four-year program that emphasizes a practical application of the liberal arts as well as hands-on and discussion-based learning within and beyond the classroom. Coker is ranked among the "Best Colleges" in the South by U.S. News & World Report as well as The Princeton Review. Located in Hartsville, S.C., Coker is within two hours of the cultural, financial and recreational resources of Charlotte, Columbia, Charleston and Myrtle Beach.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Summer Brook Health Care center is a 120 bed facility, privately owned and is now on Medicare's Watch List.
Brian Lee is with Families for Better Care, an advocate for the industry.
"This is only one of three nursing homes in the state of florida,682 nursing homes, that is on this federal watch list," said Lee.
Lee said his agency's role is to push for improvements in the nursing homes industry.
"Families should be vigilant in their advocacy on behalf of their loved ones," said Lee," to ensure that they're getting safe and appropriate care."
In its August update, Florida's Agency for Health Care Adminstration using a five star rating system, gave the facility the following marks:
-Overall inspection one star
-Quality of care one star
-Nutrition and hydration five stars
-Dignity three stars
"For the last seven years they've had a number of violations," said Lee.
The state's August report pointed out the food handling as a problem area.
Summer Brook owner and administrator Dwayne Harvey said he is in the process of appealing some of the findings.
"We have completed a plan of correction on the others and have been cleared," he said.
"I know the report doesn't look good," Harvey said,"but the survey is very subjective, we provide good care."
Lee said as long as the facility is on the federal watch list there will be more inspections over the next 18 months until all deficiencies have been corrected.
"These additional inspections will hopefully help them to improve to the point they don't have this continuous poor track record providing really bad care to residents," said Lee.
Choosing a nursing home for your loved one can sometimes be a challenge. Dr. Ravish Narvel, medical Director for St. Catherine said state websites are not always reliable and internet searches can be just as fruitless.
Narvel said visit the facility several times and use your senses.
"How does it smell? How is the staff are they friendly, can you meet with the director?" said Narvel.
Teresa Butts is the assistant administrator and said those are the most common questions. She said you should also talk to the families to see if they are pleased.
"You want to feel comfortable leaving your loved one there overnight day after day," said Butts.

Columbus, Ohio (AP) -- As oil prices continue surging to new highs for this year, gasoline prices in Ohio are also rising.
The statewide average for regular jumped 18 cents in the last week to about $2.80 a gallon, according to auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express.
Ohio pump prices are up nearly 65 cents from just one month ago, when regular was averaging $2.05 per gallon around the state.
Still, Ohio motorists are paying much less than they were last year at this time, when the average was $3.96.
Prices for oil have almost doubled from below $35 a barrel in March as investors have taken heart from signs that the severe recession in the U.S. is slowing.

A 5-minute toast by the Chinese, 25-minute from the Malays!
Last Friday, I entered an impressive Malay cafe or restaurant just opposite Hospital Universiti Sains in Kubang Krian, Kota Bharu. In fact, the set up was bigger and better than the Old Town White Coffee outlets in KL and other places.
There were about 15 workers, including a cashier. Time was 10.10am but not many customers. Needing a good breakfast (as I arrived quite late the previous night), I placed an order for a cup of coffee and a pair of kaya-butter toast.
The drink came in 5 minutes but for the next 20 minutes, the toast didnt make it to my table. Fed up, I went to the cashier and just paid for the coffee but I did complained about the toast to the manager, a lady, who just didnt say anything but to show her red face.
In all Chinese coffee shops I have been, especially during my 3-year stint in Penang, any drink would normally took less than 2 minutes to serve while toast of any kind will reach us in less than 5 minutes.
If you complain to any Chinese coffee shop 'towkay' about the service, he will humbly apologise and thank you as that would further improve the quality of service.
I am sad at how many Malays are still taking good service for granted. And they also tend to get complacent when their business start to grow.
If such is the attitude, better stop talking about competitiveness! Sorry, but I really want to see the Malays improve in many disciplines, including their service.

Went to TMpoint Shah Alam yesterday, press the item no.4 for Streamyx and get 4015, current running number is 4012, so i sit and wait, thinking I make a good choice going there on Monday.
You know how long does it takes for 4012 to become 4015, 1 hour 4 minutes.
Tahniah TM

as a malay myself, i admit the fact that the chinese and even indians are much better in this aspect of business - providing good service.
not many malays are of the same quality but there is room for improvement.
harap2 orang melayu boleh buat lebih baik daripada ini.
- May 10, 2011 at 1:18 PM
agree. the chinese are better because bsness has been in their blood since the day they are born. but after much effort and insentives, the malays are still not giving much attention to service improvement.

in some places, the chinese charges u much cheaper.
in this context too, our malays have lost!

mungkin ada sebab kenapa lambat. mungkin ramai orang ke atau tak cukup pekerja.
ini mungkin kes kecil membabitkan pengusaha restoran atau kafe melayu.

i think complacency is the right term to use here.
that is the main problem with our malays.
when business is growing, they tend to get complacent.
when the non-malays are doing well, they will make unwanted noise!

benar. hal sebegini banyak berlaku.
kadang2 tu susah nak tengok orang melayu ni senyum kepada pelanggan.
isu senyum ni dah dilaungkan oleh kerajaan. dulu pun ada kempen senyum, terutama kepada mereka yang bertugas di perkhidmatan kaunter.
tetapi cuma sekejap je. lepas tu, tarik muka masa semula, lebih2 lagi kalau banyak kerja.
- May 10, 2011 at 8:58 PM
engkau tak pakai kopiah, baju hijau dan beri salam tak? pasti dia ingat kau ni UMNO. tengok kaya dan kete besar, duduk mcm duduk dlm kedai ayah sendiri. bila mintak kopi mcm org UMNO mintak kopi, berlagak. tu yang dia marah.
lain kali buat cam nik aziz minum kopi makan nasik lemak tepi jalan je. bila sakit pegi kelinik kerajaan. bila sembahyang hajat guna stadium BN. bila kutuk, mencarut baru la guna PAS.

Malay can cook but when come to service..
They are F*****
- May 10, 2011 at 11:16 PM
Now that you have mentioned it, it strikes me how true those observations are!
I have experienced the same thing as you. Every time I go to a Malay gerai or a Mamak restoran, I find myself sitting at the table waiting and waiting for service. It's not just me, other customers too are ignored even though the staff at the gerai were not really that busy.
In contrast, at a Chinese establishment the customer had hardly sat down before a worker is already at his side ready to take his order!
This really shows the difference in mindset between the two groups - one is obviously eager to seize every business opportunity that comes by, whereas the other group tends to be more laid back and casual about chasing after business/customers.
This difference in mindset may be one explanation why one community seems to be more successful in business than the other.
- May 11, 2011 at 2:49 AM
Sebelum buat komen, u kena study kenapa jadi begitu...Dia orang tidak mahu kecoh-kecoh macam orang KL makan...lupa baca Bismillah dan sental aje mcm di kopitiam. Lebih baik lambat kalau dah tentu halal drp cepat mcm jet di kopitiam tapi tak tahu halal dan haram. Benda yang kita makan itulah gambaran kita

NEW YORK (AP) - Wall Street has plunged again as investors grow
increasingly fearful about more turmoil in the financial system even after the government's bailout of insurer American International Group Inc.
The market's losses were nearly on pace with those seen in Monday's nosedive and investors sought the safety of hard assets and government debt. Gold, oil and short-term Treasurys soared.
The Federal Reserve is giving a two-year, $85 billion loan to AIG in exchange for a nearly 80 percent stake in the company after it lost billions in the risky business of insuring against bond defaults. But the move has failed to reassure investors.
The Dow Jones industrials ended down 447 points at the 10,612 level.

The only reason Vilma got in ahead of him is because his team was like 12-1 when the voting ended. What do you guys think? Or do you even know who Fletcher is?

The faucet outside a Mangilao market spits out water. Pacific Daily News file photo
- Filed Under
Water-vending businesses in Mangilao and Barrigada must stop operating during the ongoing boil-water notice, the Department of Public Health and Social Services announced yesterday.
That's because water treatment systems at those businesses typically only improve the taste of water and do not decontaminate it, according to Public Health.
The Guam Environmental Protection agency has not lifted the boil-water notice for those villages, first issued last Friday, saying it won't be lifted until water tests clean for two consecutive days. Guam EPA yesterday afternoon announced the ...

Eagle Scout Project a Win, Win

"Do a good turn daily" is one of several Boy Scout mottos. Patrick Corbett, Life Scout with Boy Scout Troop 102, took the slogan to heart as he completed his Eagle Scout Project at Anniversary Park, the former Jamestown Campground. His project: refurbish picnic tables.
Mr. Corbett recruited forty-two volunteers that included his troop and many parents. They gave some 158 hours of their time and energy to help complete his project in late September and early October, where they sorted through more than 200 picnic tables at the old campground and separated them into piles – the good, the can be fixed, and the cannot be fixed. From there, they refurbished 106 tables--adding new life to provide County Park visitors opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The tables will be distributed to other County Parks.
And the County saved money too. Alex Holloway, Park Operations Coordinator, said this project, valued at more than $4,800 in labor costs alone, saved the County maintenance and future costs in purchasing new picnic tables and cleaning up the site. This was definitely a win-win for the County and Mr. Corbett, who is working his way to the final ranking of Eagle Scout.

This 1895 Queen Anne-style home in Birmingham has been restored and expanded to 4,569 square feet with manicured grounds. / Jessica J. Trevino/Detroit Free Press
Birmingham Victorian
Where: 560 Pierce St., Birmingham
Price: $1,495,000
Bedrooms: 5
Bathrooms: 4 full, 1 half
Square feet: 4,569
Key features: Beautifully restored 1895 Queen Anne Victorian home is a brief walk from downtown Birmingham's restaurants, theaters and parks. All new mechanical systems, windows and cedar siding are combined with authentic antique finishing pieces, the subject of much research. Striking third-floor turret has a built-in oak wet bar, windows all around for a birds-eye view of the city.
Contact: Kimberly Leahy, Carson Realty, 248-506-3237
When this house was built in 1895, Birmingham village was already thriving with two banks, a post office, a water tower and an early department store. Three blocks from the center, the family that ran a mill built this Queen Anne-style Victorian home.
Almost a century later, when Barbara and Michael Yankee bought the house, the location still was prime, but the building looked, well, 100 years old. They worked on it for two years one year on paper, one year of construction.
They did a studs-out modernization of every system windows, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling then finished it with the authentic hardware, lighting and architectural details it should have had when new. They replaced the mid-century aluminum siding with cedar.
But the Yankees did not stop there. The house lacked one staple of Queen Anne construction a turret, from the Italian word for little tower. So they raised the roof and built a third floor, including the five-sided turret. It's a space to relax and entertain with an oak wet bar and a birds-eye view of the city.
This project was a passion for them, Barbara Yankee says. We just loved researching the Queen Anne Victorian era.
My husband and I love to collect antiques. Its what weve loved for the past 30 years to travel, find auction houses. This was a great house for it.
They did more than restore the house, which came to them somewhat plain jane, she says. We took it to another level. We added brackets and dentils dressed it up.
Anything that could be matched was. New woodwork was milled to match the old.
They made recurring motifs. For example, the etched glass design in the three entry doors is picked up in the kitchen's hand-painted ceramic tile. They added whimsical details like painting a wisteria vine across the ceiling in Barbara Yankees dressing area.
All the light fixtures are antiques, she says, including some from the razed downtown J.L. Hudson building.
For all that, the home is not slavishly Victorian. Our idea was that we wanted to keep the older home, but have all the amenities of a new-built, she says.
For example, the kitchen is big and convivial, open to the family room and the deck outside, with a commercial stove and a walk-in pantry. The owners' suite has a Jacuzzi tub, a walk-in shower and a double sink, plus his and hers walk-in closets.
The sunny laundry room is 15 by 25, built large enough to be the family craft room. The first-floor powder room has a real old-fashioned powder room, an anteroom to the commode, where ladies could retire to powder.

Sandra Bullock plays a medical engineer on her first space shuttle mission in the new thriller 'Gravity' Warner Bros. Pictures
- Filed Under
If you thought going to the moon was complicated, try shooting a sci-fi set in the depths of outer space.
Director Alfonso Cuarón spent nearly five years trying to perfect the look of zero gravity for the thriller Gravity, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney (out Oct. 4).
"We wanted to shoot the whole film showing zero gravity with the actors moving in a choreographic way," say Cuarón, perhaps best known for directing 2004's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. "This has never been done before. It was a journey of learning. But it looks pretty darn good." ...

This weekend the Obama Administration announced they would be sending not one, but three officials to the funeral service for Michael Brown, the teenager who is at the center of the ruckus in Ferguson, Missouri. Leader of the "My Brother's Keeper" Task Force Broderick Johnson will be at the event, along with Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement Heather Foster. Keep in mind, the President snubbed Margaret Thatcher's funeral as well as didn't bother to have a presence at the funeral of two-star general Major General Harold Green.
"He's no Nelson Mandela!" exclaimed Morning Answer co-host Elisha Krauss, referring to Michael Brown.
"Nobody is saying he was!" said Brian Whitman.
"Well you sort of are when…the White House sends three representatives to his funeral, they are saying that he is something special," explained Ben Shapiro. He went on to say that if he died tomorrow the White House would send zero representatives to his funeral unless it was to "pry open my safe and take my money."

Set in Australia in the 1930s, this drama stars Nicholas Gledhill as P.S., a six-year-old boy who lives with his Aunt Lila (Robyn Nevin) and Uncle George (Peter Whitford). P.S.'s mother died in childbirth, so her sister Lila took him in, and while George and Lila don't have a lot of money, they've always done the best they can to give the boy a good home. One day, Lila's other sister Vanessa (Wendy Hughes) arrives after spending several years touring the world; Vanessa is quite wealthy, and upon her return to Australia, she expresses an interest in taking custody of the child. Lila is willing to let Vanessa visit with P.S., and his rich aunt is able to turn his head with limousine rides and lavish gifts. But when Vanessa decides she wants the boy full time, Lila decides to fight her in court. The case is complicated by the arrival of P.S.'s long-absent father, Logan (John Hargreaves), an alcoholic who loves his son but is incapable of caring for him.

I think I made it clear that "bust" was an unfair description on my part. And on twitter, I asked Pronman if he thought Larsson could be called a bust. He said no, but there was reason to be concerned.
Re the breakout passes, if you would like to show me lots of examples of breakout passes that Larsson has made during his Devils tenure that a decently skilled defenseman can't make with some degree of regularity, then fine. Thus far, I've seen the highlights from the WJC, which don't tell anyone all that much. And again, if that's all he does particularly well, it's a bit of a disappointment, is all. A player we hoped would anchor the defense for the foreseeable future ought to have more to his game.
Bottom line, I've asked countless times for people to tell me exactly what Larsson does or what he has in his toolbox that supports the hype he's gotten. All I've gotten in response are "breakout passes" and "he's only 20".
Jesus, you and Sterio should start a club. Who gives a flying fvck about his WJC results now? I didn't care about them in 2011. You are the only one who has brought that up, like that video has somehow superceded the 100+ games we've seen him play.
Who is hyping Larsson here? Other than people who don't understand aging curves/stats in other pro leagues.
Larsson has a hard shot, but a slow release. If his release gets better, he'll be quite a good shooter. Still, a defenseman's shot isn't usually what makes up a lot of his value. He has confident vision in the offensive zone - he can find sticks with passes, not just blindly bang the puck towards the net. His speed is not a strength, but when he learns how to read the play better it won't be such a weakness. He can be physical sometimes, though that's not going to be his game all the time. I still expect him to be a 25 minute all situations type of defenseman who is strong in the corners, kills penalties, and plays the PP2 (or PP1 if that aspect is weak for the Devils), with around 30 points a season and who drives play slightly. He's not going to dominate games. One of the critical parts of his game is that when he fully matures, he should have no real weaknesses in his game.

County Executive Supports Quick ActionBanning Stun Guns on County Property
January 24, 2007 (KANSAS CITY, MO) – Jackson County has taken quick action to protect public safety by banning "stun guns" or "tasers" from County courthouses and other public buildings, including the Truman Sports Complex and County parks. The County Legislature waived the rules on January 16, 2007, so that the new ordinance change would take effect immediately.
The County decided to take a closer look at the matter when a criminal defendant carried a stun gun into a Jackson County courtroom last December, after security guards mistook it for a cell phone. Deputies were later alerted to the stun gun in court and planned to arrest the man, until they realized he had broken no current law.
"Today we have closed a major loophole in the law that jeopardized public safety. I'm glad that we're taking action on this before anyone can be injured by a stun gun in a county facility," said County Executive, Mike Sanders. "Since stun guns and tasers are, by definition, capable of temporarily incapacitating, injuring, or killing a human being, they should be considered dangerous weapons under county law and therefore banned with stiff penalties attached."
The penalty for anyone caught with a stun gun or taser in County facilities is $1,000 and six months in jail. County law also bans a long list of other weapons from County property, including but not limited to: firearms, blackjacks, martial arts instruments, knuckles, knives, projectile weapons, gas guns, or any weapon capable of lethal use.

Concerns about California's drought are bringing President Barack Obama to Fresno for the first time.
Obama will be addressing what kind of federal assistance is available to those affected.
Fresno County Supervisor Phil Larson, who is also a farmer, says the effects of the drought are widespread throughout the Central Valley, as agriculture is the area's largest industry.
That's a serious situation that's going to put a lot of people out of work, and it even takes water away from communities that totally depend on surface water," Larson says.
Central Valley leaders are reacting to the president's visit.
"I'm very glad that the president is coming to the Central Valley for him to see first hand the devastation that our drought has had on our area," says Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims.
She says her office is working with the secret service to make sure the president's visit goes smoothly and safely.
Assemblyman Henry T. Perea (D-Fresno) says he welcomes the president's visit and wants to bring other issues to the president's attention.
"It's so critical because we have so many issues that we are dealing with--i's air quality, water quality, lack of water," Perea says.
Although Governor Jerry Brown officially declared the state to be in a drought only last month, California is in its third dry year.
Those in the Central Valley are hoping Obama will see, and understand, what they've been dealing with for many years.
"I see it. I worked on the west side all my life as a crop consultant along with my farming. So I know what it's like, and I know that it's serious," Larson says.

I cry alone,
In my shrinking world,
Nobody else can fit,
Their fists too curled,
To come through the door,
I wanna scream,
Drive back the walls,
Stop the crushing,
Halt all the stupid falls,
Say goodbye to what's foul,
Right now.
I yell silently,
Hoping for someone to hear,
Someone to save me,
But nobody will I fear,
Facing myself on my own,
Tearing to bone.
I bleed secrets,
When all I have left is scars,
And hope escapes forever,
Black swallows the last stars,
Pleading with joy in my head,
Transfers to red.
I covet pain,
The sole escape for my soul,
A calming razor,
To make me whole,
I won't pretend it's right,
Bringing light.
I don't eat,
Hunger makes me real,
Helps wash me clean,
Numbs everything I feel,
I know that I should,
If I could.
I will break,
It's gone on too long,
Been falling too far,
To tell it's wrong,
And I can get out,
That I doubt.
I can't deal,
Only one road left to try,
The untrodden dark,
You'll all wonder why,
But I won't be able to say,
So far away.

A teenage boy was arrested Wednesday morning after he took property and a vehicle from a home on the 900 block of Loyola Drive in south Salinas, police reported.
Following up on a concerned neighbor's tip, officers said they responded to the residence shortly after 10:30 a.m. and confirmed a burglary had occurred. The neighbor told them she had seen two unknown males, an unknown female and an unfamiliar vehicle at a nearby residence.
Both males removed property from the residence before fleeing the premises, according to the neighbor, who took down the unfamiliar vehicle's description and license plate number.
Investigating officers said they found the suspect vehicle at the 400 block of Laurel Drive address where it was registered. A 16-year-old boy was contacted and identified as one of the suspects spotted leaving the Loyola Drive residence, police said.
He was booked into Monterey County Juvenile Hall on suspicion of residential burglary and stealing a vehicle.
Officers said they found the stolen property and vehicle a short time later near Sherwood Park.

Lots of 1st Round QB Talent in 2013. Who Needs Them?
In early 2013 mocks I usually see 3-5 QBs being taken in the first round. That would be great news for teams that already have their QB, as that pushes talent down artificially.
But are there really 5 teams that would take a QB in the 1st?
AFCE - Buffalo is the only possibility and I think they'll stick with Fitzpatrick
AFCN - set at QB
AFCS - set at QB
AFCW - KC and Oakland are possibilities but neither are a slam dunk.
NFCE - set at QB
NFCN - set at QB
NFCS - if Freeman responds well to the new coaching staff the South is set at QB.
So at most, you have 5 teams that would possibly spend a 1st rounder on a QB. IMO, you can whittle that down to two because I think only Seattle and one of KC, Oakland, or Buffalo will change starters.
We often talk about how rare franchise QBs are in the NFL, but with the changes in rules or how they are enforced, it seems like maybe teams have about caught up and the NFL as a whole is not as QB-needy as we vaguely assume it is.
If we play the if game, which is kind of needed in this scenario, there is plenty more that can be added. The Jets if Sanchez and Tebow fail stands out. You say the 49ers can win with Alex Smith, but what if they don't win this season? What if they win despite him? Are they really going to pass on a potential franchise QB like Tyler Wilson or Landry Jones? Doubtful.
The Jaguars are set at quarterback? Did you watch Blaine Gabbert last year?
My take:
Buffalo: The went all out this offseason to make the playoffs. If Fitzpatrick continues to play like he did during the last half of the 2011 season and the Bills don't improve, Gailey could be fired and Fitzpatrick could be kicked to the curb.
New York Jets: The Jets obviously aren't high on Sanchez, as evidenced by bringing in Tebow. I think that situation will implode and both QBs are going to look bad. If it is as bad as I think it will be (six wins), the Jets front office could become tired of Rex Ryan's talking and kick him to the curb. New coach, new QB.
Tampa Bay: This depends on Josh Freeman. If Tampa bounces back this season and is competitive, he'll stay. But if he repeats last season, he'll have three bad seasons out of four in the NFL. That is not a good track record. He could definitely be replaced if the Bucs falter again.
Jacksonville: Many people expect Jacksonville to be bad this season. Like first overall bad. If that is the case, Gene Smith will undoubtedly be fired. A new General Manager would certainly draft a QB.
San Francisco: Alex Smith had one good year during his seven-year career. If the 49ers take a step back and Keapernick doesn't show nice progression, the Niners definitely draft a QB.
Arizona: The Cardinals thought about replacing Kolb/Skelton this offseason. If they continue to be below average, Arizona will absolutely replace them in 2013.
Seattle: Nobody knows how good Flynn will be. If he gets Seattle to the playoffs, then of course the Seahawks won't draft a QB. But if he looks like Kolb in his first season as a starter, he'll be replaced. Remember, there were substantial rumors that Seattle would have drafted Tannehill had he been there.
St. Louis: This one is unpopular. But what if Sam Bradford has a bad/injury-filled season again? Jeff Fisher didn't draft him And if you have consecutive seasons drafting in the top-five, you should look at getting a new QB. So they could look at replacing him.
Oakland: This goes without saying. Carson Palmer does not look like he has much left in his tank at all. Leinart is the backup. So unless Pryor suddenly learns how to play QB in the NFL, they'll be looking for a new QB in 2013.
Kansas City: Chiefs fans wanted to replace Cassel this season. If he doesn't look any better in 2012, those calls will continue next year.
You say that there are only 5 teams at most that would be looking at QBs. I count ten. You could even throw in Minnesota (if Ponder looks awful and the Vikings finish with a top-five pick again) and New Orleans (depending on how the Drew Brees contract situation progresses).
And no I don't believe in Gabbert at all. But I don't think Gene Smith will be fired anytime soon, and Smith is locked in with Gabbert as his QB of the future. But it's hard to know what to expect with the new owner.
These starting quarterbacks probably need to show improvement in order to prevent competition from being added:
Arizona Cardinals - Kevin Kolb
Buffalo Bills - Ryan Fitzpatrick
Jacksonville Jaguars - Blaine Gabbert
Kansas City Chiefs - Matt Cassel
New York Jets - Mark Sanchez
Oakland Raiders - Carson Palmer
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Josh Freeman
In bold are the most likely to be replaced.
Dallas won't pass on a QB if one falls to them at Pick 32.
I think Pioli knows what the entire fanbase and KC media knows: Cassel isn't a long term solution. I would be shocked to see us passing on a QB in 2013 if we have the ability to draft someone. Cassel turns 30 in a week and obviously isn't a "long term" solution to the QB problem in KC.
It'll likely come down to who has a bad season.
Like someone else said, the Bills have done good with Fitz, but he's not really a franchise QB. If they get a shot at one, I think they'd likely take it.
A lot of teams already are "grooming" replacements, Denver has one. 49ers have one, Titans have one.
On my list I'd have, a lot of these have "if" highly associated with them. Some may not look likely, but then again we didn't think the colts would be taking luck.
We'll see what Cassel does this season, he should put up 3200yards, 25 tds, 10ints with the talent he has on offense.
Those numbers don't look that impressive, but I think they'll still try to run a run-first offense
I really want someone like Wilson to fall to Oakland.
And I still don't believe Ricky Stanzi is the answer, so.
People forget that the 9ers drafted Kapernik in the high 2nd round last year as a project QB, and Harbaugh has a freakish track record of developing QBs. Kaepernicks gonna be a flat out stud IMO.
Lots of teams will need QBs, because every year there is a new bottom 10 QBs.
A lot of teams have over reached for QB's the past 2 years that the Bills, Chiefs are sitting kinda pretty.
But it all depends on who declares next year. We know Tyler Wilson, Matt Barkley, Landry Jones, EJ Manuel, Mike Glennon and Geno Smith will be available but what happens with Tyler Bray, Logan Thomas, Casey Pachall, Aaron Murray?
If two of those underclassmen declare we could be talking about 5 QB's in the Top 15 and 8 in the Top 42. The new CBA will allow a lot of teams to trade up to get their guy like we saw this year.
We're not going to know until after the season.
With the new rookie contracts, a 1st round quarterback isn't as big of a commitment as it once was. If guys like Christian Ponder and Sam Bradford take a step back this year, their teams will be picking high again and could move on.
The Eagles lowkey need a franchise QB. Vick is going to be 33 at the start of next season and the Eagles have Nick Foles, Mike Kafka and Trent Edwards waiting in the wings. The Eagles typically like to have a future QB lined up. They've been beating around the QB bush the past two years but they haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I took a quick trip up to Cambridge, to visit my friend, Canbridge University economist Paul Lewis, and then attend Tony Lawson's Critical Realist workshop. I arrived in the evening, so Paul gave me a whirlwind tour of the campus and then treated me to a lovely dinner.
The gate to King's College in Cambridge.
The first item on the agenda of the workshop is drinks from 7:30 until 8:00. Just before 8, when the evening's talk is to start, most people fill their wine glass one last time before sitting down. After the lecture, it's... off to the pub! Paul told me that drinking accompanies all activities at Cambridge.

I am so glad to receive some wow gold and the World of Warcraft Gold is as my birthday gift. Some of the warcraft gold is very important for me that I will buy wow gold to go into the net game freely because the cheap wow gold is the key to the game.

Teixeira: I held no grudges from 1998
Barring an unforeseen development, heres the last update on Mark Teixeira:
If you are among those who believes that Teixeira still harbors resentment toward the Red Sox from a botched negotiation that took place during the Dan Duquette administration in 1998, you shouldn't. Teixeira addressed the topic in no uncertain terms.
"That had nothing at all to do with it," Teixeira said of the impact the happening might have had on his decision to sign with the rival Yankees. "I was 18 years old. I was a kid. I knew nothing about the business of baseball. I relied on my instincts; my instincts said go to college and I had the best three years of my life. Im actually thankful that it happened because I met my wife. I had three of the greatest years of my life and I have lifelong friends [from college]."
The Red Sox today are under different management, of course, but we thought it was necessary to get this out there given some of the speculation about Teixeiras decision-making process.
