text: Home Politics Why Mitt Romney Is Like Barack Obama When it comes to the big issues of the day, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney aren't very far apart. By: David Swerdlick Posted: March 3 2010 6:59 AM 0 Getty Images (Illustration) When President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney square off at the debate podium in the fall of 2012, it might be harder than you think to tell the two of them apart. They're both Harvard lawyers. They're both millionaires and devoted family men. As a college student, Romney completed a requisite Mormon mission. Obama famously got his start as a community organizer--the rough equivalent for young, politically ambitious African Americans. Both look like presidents straight out of central casting--tall, trim and tan--with enviable salt-and-pepper gray hair connoting vitality and wisdom. Neither man has ever served in the military. Although their personal histories certainly differ, they've got more in common than meets the eye. Unofficially kicking off his presidential bid this week with a national tour promoting his new book, No Apology: The Case for American Greatness, Romney will begin a campaign to portray Obama as an apostate on the altar of American exceptionalism. He'll offer himself as the businessman's special--a steady alternative to both Obama and shrill populists in his own party, like Sarah Palin. But looking beyond message and toward his policy prerogatives, Romney will be challenged in distinguishing himself from Obama. Based on his record, and the president's, it's not that easy to identify the areas where Romney can fundamentally or credibly argue with what Obama is doing. Bending the Cost Curveball Nowhere does Romney's résumé match Obama's more than their approach to health care reform. Plugging the virtues of his own health care fix four years ago in the Wall Street Journal, Romney noted that "someone has to pay for health care that must, by law, be provided." The formula, he explained, was expansion of Medicaid, providing subsidies to those who can't otherwise afford their own insurance, and for everyone else, an individual mandate, writing that "we insist that everyone purchase health insurance from one of our private insurance companies." Obama wants for-profit insurers to add more than 25 million new customers. If Romney plans on parroting the talking point that Obamacare amounts to a "government takeover," he'll have to explain to voters why he signed on to the idea first. Strictly Business Romney is widely regarded as the most commerce friendly of the 2012 presidential contenders. A highly successful CEO of Bain Capital, he was credited with turning the 2002 Salt Lake City winter Olympics around from a money loser to a money maker. His biggest selling point is his steady fiscal hand. But what would he do differently than Obama to try to manage the recession? In USA Today, Romney recently outlined a 10-point plan for economic recovery--and it's mostly full of the things the Obama administration is trying: Tax credits for small businesses who hire new employees? Obama just proposed it in his FY 2011 budget. Cutting discretionary spending? It's already on the table. No on "card check"--is anyone other than labor even talking about that? Publicly, Romney criticized Obama's bailout of General Motors. But it's hard to imagine the son of three-term Michigan Gov. George Romney standing by and letting GM (and Ford, and all the rust-belt companies in their supply chain) go under. Careful Getting In And that title, "No Apology," is really a shot at Obama--advancing the favorite argument of Dick Cheney and others that Obama is weak when it comes to the war on terror. But how will Romney--or any would-be future president--actually get to Obama's right on national security? Obama upped troop levels in Afghanistan by 51,000. Does Romney want to send in more forces? Obama authorized more drone strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen in one year than George W. Bush did during his entire presidency. Would a President Mitt Romney call for using more strikes while simultaneously rescinding Obama's "extended hand/open fist" diplomacy? It's a safe bet that Romney will recycle Sen. Scott Brown's refrain: "Tax dollars should pay for weapons to stop" terrorists, "not lawyers to defend them." After all, it's a pretty good tag line. But Brown, a reserve JAG Corps lawyer, knows better--and so does Romney. Obama adopted the Supreme Court's due process standards applied during Bush's second term. Romney will, too. Obama really isn't close to being the far-left leader that his opponents have made him out to be. Romney isn't really offering a significant departure from Obama when it comes to public policy. He represents a nice, neat consolidation of the big ideas and broad themes that his party stands for--bundled together in a nice, neat, non-confrontational package. Kind of like President Obama.

Though I dive with multiple tanks and in a dry suit in California waters, I have been using Scubapro Twin Jet split fins for years as they are comfortable and gave fine control. But swimming upstream in a current seemed to need more power. I tried recent Atomic fins but found them to be too stiff and the spring strap buckles opened twice in kelp forests when kelp wrapped around the fasteners. This happened on two different pairs. When I saw these F1 bat fins, I tried them as they are more like traditional broader paddle fins. Result: While stiffer, they are easy to get used to and do indeed provide more power and quite good control for finning in reverse or rotating or station keeping or frog kicking. And the spring straps with the large loops as a handle make very easy donning and doffing. These look like excellent heavy duty fins. Yellow fin tips make it easier to be tracked by dive buddies in poor viz.

Great mask. Sturdy. Corrective lenses are easily added by ordering them in .5 diopter increments and having them installed before delivery. For most of us underwater, these suffice rather than having custom lenses made.

Small, compact, fits on my gloved hand with the supplied strap serving like a small Goodman handle, and bright. Brighter than any of the secondary lights I have and competes with the big lights so well that I leave those topside unless I know I need the light all the time. This new model is brighter than the original OMS model so I now have that one as backup.

I am extremely nearsighted. I need correction close to the maximum -8 diopters that H2O offers. I have used one of these masks for several years and find it excellent. When my eyesight changed recently, O rdered a second mask with new correction. Shipped very quickly. My placed order had not requested the correct lens on one side (no fault to scuba.com). A replacement lens was installed on the same day I presented the mask, no questions asked. These lenses are extremely easy to swap out and scuba.coms service is great.

For those of us who use both yoke and DIN regulators, this kind of valve is the right idea. These should be installed on all tanks used by serious divers.

Nice compact cutter for dealing with kelp and lines and grasses underwater. Inexpensive. Compact. Color makes it easy to locate. But I bought two of these and in one, the cutter falls out of the sheath. A bit better tolerancing and this would have worked. Too bad. It really should have a hole for a clip or biner. So a good product but easy to loose.

A simple, inexpensive hook that keeps you in place. Tucks away neatly in a BC pocket. Useful for other things as well. The challenge is hooking the reef without damaging the reef.

Just right for hanging on the anchor line from pitching boats while doing your stops. Just pull it out of a pocket, clipped to D-ring at one end, clipped to the line on the other end and settle back and hover while this Jon line goes up and down and takes out the pitching. Good clip for grabbing the anchor line. Or a line set out for your hang.

Reports should be brief, using bullets where possible. Please provide only the information that will be useful for OMB to assess the agencies' achievements using the funding they received, and for establishing future direction.
Part A
GENERAL FEDERAL AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES REPORT (All Agencies)
1. Agency or Bureau:
Federal Emergency Management Agency
Name of Contact for Report:
Email Address:
Phone #:
Leslie Weiner-Leandro
(202) 646-4503
Steering Committee Member:

Coordination Group Participant(s):
Email Address:
Phone #:
Leslie Weiner-Leandro
(202) 646-4503
Scott McAfee
(202) 646-3317
5. Subcommittee or Working Group Participation: Subcommittees or Working Groups in which your agency is actively involved, but does not lead:
Subcommittee on Base Cartographic Data, Bathymetric Subcommittee, Cadastral Committee Subcommittee on Cultural and Demographic Data, Federal Geodetic Control Subcommittee, Geologic Subcommittee, Ground Transportation Committee, Subcommittee on International Boundaries and Sovereignty, Soils Subcommittee, Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data, Vegetation Subcommittee, Wetlands Subcommittee, Biological Data Working Group, Clearinghouse Working Group, Communications and Education Working Group, Earth Cover Working Group, Facilities Working Group, Historical Data Working Group, Metadata Ad Hoc Working Group, SIMNRE Working Group, Geospatial Applications Services Working Group, and Standards Working Group
6. Goals and Accountability: Are you using spatial data with regard to performance?
a. List agency GPRA strategic plan goals specifically related to spatial data activities (or "none"):
Strategic Goal 1:
Protect lives and prevent the loss of property from natural and technological hazards:
Annual Performance Goal M.1.1.: Public Hazards Information Increase the availability and effectiveness of natural hazards information
Strategic Goal 2:
Reduce human suffering and enhance the recovery of communities after disaster strikes
Annual Performance Goal RR.3.1.: Operate Emergency Communication Systems Operate emergency communications systems to deliver emergency warning, messages, and critical information to reduce losses and lower response and recovery costs.
b. List agency GPRA performance measures specifically related to spatial data activities (or "none"):
Deliver maps, models, data and analyses as requested to FEMA and emergency partners within 72 hours of notification.
(1) Produce 3,000 updated NFIP flood-hazard map panels in digital format.
(2) Process 11,000 requests from individuals and communities for map changes.
(3) Convert 14,900 existing flood maps from manual to digital format.
(4) Complete 5 and initiate 3 hurricane-evacuation studies.
7. Strategy: Has your agency prepared a strategy for advancing geographic information and spatial data activities in coordination with the FGDC strategy, pursuant to Circular A-16?
The CIO has established an Agency-wide GIS Working Group to determine and develop Agency-wide GIS requirements and to promote and implement an enterprise GIS solution for FEMA in accord with the Information Technology Architecture (ITA) and the Agency's mission.
FEMA is the lead agency for flood mapping, per A-16. Most of FEMA's flood mapping history has involved the generation of paper maps, but in recent years FEMA has implemented a map modernization strategy for the generation of maps through digital means, and eventual distribution of standardized spatial database products.
8. Standards: Has your agency developed and/or adopted appropriate standards?
An important part of the Agency Enterprise GIS effort will include establishing standards. Currently, FEMA's Mapping and Analysis Center (the part of the Agency responsible for GIS disaster response activities) maintains standards for: map layouts, projections and a GIS software standard for desktop mapping. The Agency is moving toward an open Oracle spatial format standard and is considering an Agency-wide standard for map symbols.
FEMA has developed specifications for our Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRM) that address standards such as base map spatial accuracy, database format, FGDC metadata, layout, and graphics.
9. Metadata: Is your agency's metadata and/or data available and discoverable online through an NSDI-compatible clearinghouse node registered as part of the NSDI Clearinghouse Network?
FEMA's Mapping and Analysis Center maintains a current set of metadata that is compatible with the NSDI standards. The GIS Working Group within FEMA anticipates expanding the metadata collection as an important part of the Enterprise GIS effort. The Agency is currently working on spatial data projects that will lead to a node on the NSDI Clearinghouse Network.
10. Vertical and Horizontal Data Integration: Is your data integrable with other Federal agencies and other sources of data (State, County, local, private)?
Data maintained in FEMA's Mapping and Analysis Center are maintained in an easy-to-use, readily translatable formats. Mapping and Analysis Center staff can readily share this data with other agencies.
11. E-Gov: How are you using geospatial data in your mission activities to provide better services? (Please list)
The Mapping and Analysis Center has in place a GIS Internet site:
http:www.gismaps.fema.gov where staff post a selection of disaster response maps from the latest disasters, as well as those from the current year and recent years.
In addition, the Mapping and Analysis Center has newly released an interactive GIS Intranet site for managers and staff within FEMA. Anyone inside FEMA now has the capability to create customized maps at their workstation.
FEMA has instituted a number of recent improvements for our clients related to the map modernization program. These include:
- Purchase of Flood Insurance Rate Maps from an Internet map store. This includes an index/geolocator, reducing times for delivery of flood maps from weeks to days.
- Generation of flood data themes to support hazard mitigation, response and recovery.
- Scanning existing flood maps and developing software-viewing tools for faster and more convenient delivery of flood hazard information.
FEMA is also continuing to develop the GIS-based risk-modeling tool, HAZUS. Currently used for earthquake loss estimation, a December 2002 release will extend capabilities to cover hurricanes and flooding.
12. Are there areas or issues regarding spatial data that require attention, or lessons-learned that you would like to share with others? Please describe.
FEMA's GIS Working Group would appreciate hearing from other Agencies in their efforts to create and implement an Enterprise GIS.

May 24, 2016
TALLAHASSEE, Fl -- College Football pro day at Florida State University is an annual event where hopeful future pros try to impress NFL scouts. But student athletes can also be targets of unlicensed sports agents; something the state is trying to stop.
"Number 1 we want to make sure they're licensed, and if they are that they do things properly, working through the university to make contact," said Jerry Wilson, the Director for Division of Regulation in Florida's Department of Business & Professional Regulation.
The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has attended every pro day in Florida so far. An unlicensed agent could face a fine of up to $2500 and face felony charges, and possibly ruin a potential NFL career of a student athlete.
Even though some of the athletes trying to 'wow' the scouts won't be Seminoles next year, the FSU coaching staff knows how important proper representation can be.
FSU head football coach Jimbo Fisher says student athletes are educated on picking the right person to represent them in their career.
"It's one of the most critical points. We all want to pick an agent but we have to pick a quality agent because it's a decision you make, and the people you hang with says something about your character. We tell kids that when they grow up, and it's the same when a young man picks an agent," said Fisher.
An unlicensed agent representing an athlete could also lead to sanctions against the school through the NCAA. All agent credentials can be checked at www.myfloridalicense.com.

Plainclothes police chased a man in a thick coat through a subway station, wrestled him to the floor and shot him to death in front of stunned commuters Friday.
Appealing for help from the public to capture the suspects, police released photographs of four men suspected of launching Thursday's second wave of terrorist attacks, saying they bore similarities to the July 7 bombings that claimed 56 lives.
The driver of a double-decker bus in London says the windows of the bus were blown-out Thursday, one of a series of incidents that has brought much of the city to a standstill.
Police in chemical protection suits have been seen preparing to enter the Warren Street station.

Gov. Nathan Deal won't take sides in the controversy over some Wilcox County teens' efforts to integrate their prom.
By email, his spokesman, Brian Robinson, said Deal would have no response to a liberal group's call for state officials, including the governor to speak out.
He wrote, "This is a leftist front group for the state Democratic party and we're not going to lend a hand to their silly publicity stunt."
Better Georgia asked Deal and others "to publicly support the students of Wilcox County who are fighting to end a 'separate-but-equal' high school prom."
The group's release listed seven Georgia state representatives -- four Democrats, three Republicans -- who have reportedly issued statements of support for the Wilcox students.
The Republicans include Ed Lindsey of Atlanta, who is the House majority whip, and Rep. Buzz Brockway of Lawrenceville, also a blogger. Lindsay announced Wednesday that he is running for Congress in Atlanta's 11th Congressional District.
Wilcox County High School has no official prom, but for years, some parents and students have organized a private whites-only segregated prom. School officials say they have no control over that and have issued a statement in support of the integrated prom.
They say school officials will discuss whether to hold an official prom, open to all, in 2014.
Also jumping into the issue is Melvin Everson, a former Republican candidate for labor commissioner who was born in Wilcox County. Everson has helped to raise money for the students' integrated prom.

Miller each netted 11 for the Nuggets, who bounced back after a
disappointing loss to the woeful Wizards on Friday. Kevin Durant finished

Thunder to an extra session with a long triple near the end of regulation.

saw its six-game winning streak come to an end.

Well Folks, How many more laws will King George break before the right wakes up, and the lawmakers finally impeach this man? How can he use expediency as an excuse for neglecting informing the court of his spying on Americans, when the law states that he may inform the court after the fact, and within 72 hours IOW,
retroactive?????????? He refuses to report his actions, even retroactively.....
FISA provides him the option in case of emergencies, to inform the special FISA court within 72 hours, AFTER he spies, if he deems spying on us as an emergency, too urgent for any delay, it only takes a couple of hours. He refuses. He also made a distinction between "Monitoring" in this case meaning on-going spying on us, and just trolling around here and there, on whomever, where ever, and whenever he pleases.
Given that He appointed Gonzales, is it any wonder that Gonzales doesn't know the law? I wonder if Harriet was involved in any of these decisions, surely her involvment could get him off the hook? NOBODY could expect her to know the law.
Suffice it to say, King George will not be known as a man who could rise to the occasion in emergencies, since so far, he has failed each trial, 9/11, leisurely reading to children while the NYTC was under attack, and terrorists were enroute to the Pentagon and the Capital, then following up by waging war against people who had nothing to do with it, while the real perpetrator escaped into the mountains,.... Katrina, we all saw his idea of staying on top of that emergency situation, a fly-over, four days later,.... it seems our King can't even handle a wire tap emergency without screwing that up too....could it be that he is keeping all wire taps secret because he is abusing power? Naw, he wouldn't do that....we have no reason to think he would, after all, he's been born again, and God is telling him what to do, he wouldn't out a CIA agent just to get even, so let's just let him spy on anyone he choses. And why should we expect this poor man to have to have accurately handled wading through all that intelligence and not realizing that there was any chance that, contrary to his wishes, Saddam had no WMD's, even if the CIA did include a good deal of information to question the theory, which of course, he left out of all his mushroom speeches.
I don't suppose there is any impropriety involved in his appointing Viveca Novak's husband to a job with elections, this week, either, and it must be just a coincidence that he won't comment on the "On-going investigations" of his own chief of staff, but thinks it completely appropriate to announce to the world that Tom Delay, also under investigation, is innocent of all charges, a statement which he denied making a few hours later.
To top it all off, he rejected the opportunity to keep the Patriot Act alive for three months, while it is being tweaked over by the Congress and the Senate, and then in an angry jaw rolling outburst during his press conference today, named the states of certain Senators who will be among "Politicians" to be at fault if we are attacked with no Patriot Act to protect us. Yes, he killed it, but it won't be his fault....it's the Democrats....although there were plenty Reupblicans who did not want to renew the Patriot Act without taking a second look at it, a plan for which both sides had overwhelmingly voted in the first place. So, who is playing partisan politics...???...King George, that's who.
The new rule is .... any congressman or Senator who speaks out against King George, or any of the laws he breaks, or lies that he tells, will be referred to as a "Politician" and any questioning of his dictatorship, will be referred to as "Partisan" politics during wartime. Yep, he's got all the bases covered, "Just Let George Do It." He IS the King after all, and beyond checks and balances, questioning, or accountability.
Brit Hume's last comment after spending a day with King George .... "He enjoys the POWER of being President."
He makes Nixon look like a boy scout. Atleast Nixon tried to cover up his unlawful behavior, King George doesn't even have to cover it up, he is right in your face about it, for the right will say, yes, King, you do have on a beautiful suit of clothes.
Careful how you comment on the King, remember, Big Brother is watching...

Born June 28, 1967 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Gil Bellows made his screen debut in the Canadian film "The First Season" (1988) and went on to cut his professional teeth in Broadway productions. He gained further onscreen experience in episodes of "Law & Order" (NBC, 1990-2010) and "Flying Blind" (Fox, 1992-93), but truly broke through in 1994 with a pair of important roles. He impressed with a wacky turn opposite Renée Zellweger as a pair of outlaw lovers on the run in the quirky "Love and a .45" (1994), but caused countless viewers and critics to take note of him with a sharp supporting role in "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994).

An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a second dwelling unit created on a lot with a house, attached house or manufactured home. The second unit is created auxiliary to, and is smaller than, the main dwelling. ADUs can be created in a variety of ways, including conversion of a portion of an existing house, addition to an existing house, conversion of an existing garage or the construction of an entirely new building.
Methods to create an ADU
Visit the Planning and Zoning staff at the Development Services Center to determine the specific limits applicable to your property.
A building permit is required to build an accessory dwelling unit. Depending on the scope of work, your project will most likely also require electrical, plumbing and/or mechanical permits.
For new construction, your permit will be reviewed under provisions of the current Oregon Residential Specialty Code. View more information on building codes.
The following information must be submitted when applying for a permit to build an ADU. Since every project is unique, there may be some situations where you will be asked to provide additional information.
To submit for a permit, bring these forms, and four (4) copies of site, architectural, and structural plans (for the area of proposed work and areas affected by such work ) along with intake fees to the Development Services Center.
The Bureau of Development Services sells a "Residential Combination" permit package. This allows you to call for all inspections using just the Building Permit (RS) IVR number and pay for all the permits at one time. You will need to submit the trade (mechanical, electrical, and/or plumbing) application(s) signed either by you, if you are doing these portions of the work yourself, or by your licensed subcontractors. If you do not have your completed subcontractor forms when you are applying for your residential permit (RS) you will have to apply for trade permits separately from the building permit. Sub-contractors that you hire must be registered with the State of Oregon and carry the correct licenses in association with their trade.
(1) Design Standards
There are a variety of design and use standards which apply to the creation of an ADU. These include limiting the overall number of residents in both units, limitation with respect to home occupations, the location of entrance doors and size of the ADU. Where an ADU is created in a new or existing detached structure or by the addition to a house, there are additional standards regulating the exterior appearance and materials of the ADU. These additional standards include provisions for the height, roof pitch, trim, eaves and windows.
(2) Construction Standards
The ADU Program Guide outlines the construction standards, such as headroom, room size, unit separation, and utilities for ADUs.
When converting an existing unfinished space to an ADU, some features, such as ceiling heights, windows, stairs and insulation, may not meet current building code requirements for finished space. These conditions could make it expensive, difficult or even impossible for you to change your attic, basement or garage into living space.
(3) Water
Regulations require that each separate structure have a separate water service or two or more houses or buildings under one ownership and on the same lot or parcel of land may be supplied through a single service meter. The property owner must sign a "Separate Service Agreement" which will be recorded on the property which stipulates if the property is divided a separate water service shall be obtained for each parcel. For more information call the Bureau of Water Works at (503) 823-7368.
(4) Sanitary and Storm Sewers
The ADU can either connect to the existing sanitary sewer system or have a separate connection. If a separate connection is made, a sanitation permit is needed for the installation.
(5) Decommissioning a Septic Tank or Cesspool
When building an ADU, the septic tank/cesspool must be located (if one exists).
Call Environmental Soils staff at (503) 823-6892 for more information on decommissioning septic tanks and cesspools.
(6) If any ground disturbance, erosion control review and inspection may be required.
(7) ADUs and Property Taxes
Construction of an ADU could result in a significant increase in property taxes under Oregon tax law. So before you start an ADU project, it's important to contact the Multnomah County assessor's customer service line at 503-988-3326 or visit their website at https://multco.us/assessment-taxation/news/are-you-considering-building-accessory-dwelling-unit for more information.
Plan reviewers from the Bureau of Development Services representing fire life safety and structural disciplines, as well as staff from the Parks Bureau, Office of Transportation, Bureau of Environmental Services, and Water Bureau, will all participate in the review of your plans.
A checksheet is sent to the applicant when a reviewer needs additional information or a correction has to be made to the plans. When you have gathered the additional information or made the corrections, bring the plans/information to the Development Services Center. Reviewers will be notified that a checksheet response has been received and the review will continue. More information on checksheets.
Status Reports
Status reports are available after your project has been assigned to reviewers. Status reports show all reviews and include the reviewer's name and phone number. To obtain a status report, call (503) 823-7000 and select option four to have a status report faxed to you or call (503) 823-7357 to have one mailed to you.
Permit Issued
When the last technical review is approved, your permit will pre-issued. You will be contacted when your permit is ready, and of your final fee total. Fees may be paid by cash, check, Visa or Mastercard.
If your permit is ready for issuance, you may pick up your permit between 8:00 am - 3:00 pm, Tuesday-Friday at Permitting Services, located on the 2nd floor of1900 SW 4th Avenue,Portland,OR. For more information call (503) 823-7357.
The yellow inspection card lists all the inspections you will likely need during your construction project, and what work needs to be done first.
Once your building permit is issued, erosion control measures must be installed, prior to beginning any further ground disturbing activities.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Tuesday, TripAdvisor released the results of its Air Travel Survey of more than 2,000 respondents, including the five biggest complaints about air travel and the fire most annoying airline fees.
According to TripAdvisor's survey, these were the biggest complaints about traveling on a plane:
1. Uncomfortable seats / limited legroom
2. Costly airline fees and ticket prices
3. Unpredictable flight delays
4. Long security lines
5. Other passengers (e.g. loud children)
The survey found that 38% of respondents thought more legroom was the most important improvement airlines could make to the airplane experience but most respondents didn't want to pay more for it. Most respondents, 58%, said they would choose an aisle seat while very few people, 4%, said they'd choose the middle seat.
In terms of those movies during the flight, 81% said they would give up that in-flight entertainment for a cheaper flight.
The top five most annoying airline fees were:
1. Checked baggage
2. Carry-on baggage
3. Seat selection
4. Printed boarding pass at airport
5. In-flight amenities
Southwest Airlines was rated the highest of the airlines in the survey.

|Klein performs well at state golf
|Written by Chris Lee
HHS senior Deyten Klein finished in the middle of the pack at the Class 3A state golf tournament Monday-Tuesday, Oct. 1-2 at Pinehurst Country Club in Denver.
Klein carded a first round score of 85 and backed it up with a 91 on the second day. The 176 total placed Klein in 48th position out of the 84 golfers.
Coach Garrett Gordon said nerves played a factor in Klein's game. He said the senior could've turned in much lower scores but nerves kept some of his shots from finding the right places.
Still, the coach is proud of Klein and his progression over the last four years of his high school career. Gordon said Klein has grown not only on the course but into a great leader for his team.
Gordon said Klein intends to play golf in college and the improvements he's made on and off the course will make him a great leader on any team he is involved with on or off the course.
Kent Denver High School took the top two positions at the state tournament with Ben Moore shooting back-to-back rounds of even par 70. Ethan Freeman carded 70, 73 for a three over 143 total. Kent Denver took first-place honors with Holy Family High School, Estes Park High School, Alexander Dawson High School and Trinidad High School rounding out the top five.
HHS wins conference
Holyoke took top honors in the Patriot League which was formed this year with Brush, Burlington, Yuma and Holyoke. HHS won three out of the four tournaments and took second in the fourth to earn top honors.
Klein finished first in the point standings while teammate Keaton Arkulari finished third. They both earned All-Conference honors. Gage Garnas finished fifth in the points and earned All-Conference Honorable Mention.

In the Quick start guide it says that if I already have mysql and httpd running I need to disable them before installation. I plan to change the default ports for zimbra during install so that I can run this on a server that I run my blog on, i.e. already have apache running and mysql.
I understand that I can change the default ports that zimbra uses so it can co-exist on a single server with my current running environment. I've done a search and have not found one post that has the guide or how-to for a current release of zimbra. Looking for an up2date howto on how to install zimbra from the start on a single server that already has an website (apache, mysql) environment. I think this is the majority of the situation for us "hobbyist".

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Another one-run game, another win for the
Baltimore Orioles.
Wei-Yin Chen outdueled the winningest postseason pitcher in MLB history in
Game 2 of the American League Division Series, carrying the Orioles over the
New York Yankees, 3-2, to even the best-of-five set.
Chen (1-0) got the better of October stalwart Andy Pettitte as the rookie
left-hander allowed two runs -- one earned -- on eight hits in 6 1/3 innings.
The Orioles, in a year when they posted the highest winning percentage in
major league history in one-run affairs, took advantage of their limited
scoring chances against their AL East rival.
Chris Davis knocked in a pair in the third inning and Mark Reynolds added an
RBI single in the sixth that proved to be the game-winner.
Jim Johnson, a day after yielding five runs in the ninth inning to take the
loss in the series opener, closed out Baltimore's first playoff win at Camden
Yards in exactly 15 years.
Pettitte (0-1), whose 43 career postseason starts is more than four times the
entire Orioles' staff entering the series, was charged with three runs on
seven hits over seven-plus innings.
Derek Jeter went 2-for-5 with an RBI for the Yankees, who will host the
remainder of the series as a result of winning the division by two games.
Wednesday's Game 3 will pit New York's Hiroki Kuroda against fellow righty
Miguel Gonzalez.

Broadcasters may be Padres' best players
If it's any consolation to shutout cable subscribers, the Padres may be a ballclub that's better heard and not seen.
They work best right now as a radio product, as a live broadcast on a long drive, the trusty companion that allows you to remain riveted on the road.
Particularly since Padres broadcasts added the analysis of an ex-ballplayer who is attentive, articulate, informed and insightful. Particularly since Bob Scanlan entered the booth.
This is no slight against Dick Enberg or Mark Grant, but watching the Padres on television requires time I don't always have and a remote I rarely control. When the Mrs. wants to see House Hunters or American Idol or Maggie Smith Does Aristocratic Snootiness, the experienced spouse learns to pick his spots to watch sports.
Particularly when the Padres are this putrid.
But when your eyes are otherwise occupied — in traffic, with chores, cutting diamonds, whatever — Scanlan is worth lending an ear. He tells you things you wouldn't know and couldn't have guessed unless you had played the game professionally. He injects without seeming intrusive, speaking succinctly and on point and, unlike so many former ballplayers in broadcasting, is an aggressive acquirer of new knowledge.
Were it not for Yonder Alonso, Scanlan could be the Padres' Rookie of the Year.
"We have great play-by-play folks," Padres President Tom Garfinkel said Wednesday. "(But) Sometimes you want to hear that perspective of a player of what the pitcher's thinking and what the hitter's thinking.
"There's a level of analysis that (only) a former player can provide. ... It's a different lingo."
Jerry Coleman is a beloved and benevolent local institution, a war hero who brushed greatness with the New York Yankees but retained his core humility and cultivated a self-deprecating storytelling style. As an announcer, however, the Colonel has been a better source of warmth than light, a kindly presence not always clear about the identity of the players he's describing.
Bob Scanlan sometimes sounds as if his voice were still changing — he's 6-foot-7, so perhaps a high pitch is to be expected — but his content is consistent and usually compelling. He follows a game closely enough to pick up on subtle changes in a pitcher's approach against specific hitters as a game proceeds, and he prepares as if he were auditioning; as if he did not already know everything.
Wednesday, Scanlan presented a statistical and technical treatise on the Cardinals' slump-ridden David Freese, and launched it with a sentence worth stealing.
"Freese," he said, "has been frozen."
Pretty good for an ex-pitcher with a career record of 20-34. Pretty good, in fact, for anyone announcing baseball anywhere.
With the possible exception of Vin Scully, no sportscaster appeals to all tastes. Even the brilliant Bob Costas encounters criticism. Even the overbearing Chris Berman elicits praise (albeit from Nick Canepa).
"There's certain topics that are going to be polarizing," Garfinkel said. "Uniforms are certainly one of them and broadcasters are another."
There's at least one local media professional who says Bob Scanlan talks too much for a color analyst; that he tends to trespass on the play-by-play turf of Ted Leitner and Andy Masur. Personally, though, I don't hear a problem.
To listen to Leitner and Scanlan Wednesday from St. Louis was to perceive personal chemistry and professional compatibility. Here were two guys who have come to recognize the other's role, rhythms and their own responsibilities to take turns as straight man.
Before the Cardinals' Carlos Beltran struck his tiebreaking home run in the fifth inning, Leitner wandered off on a brief tangent about the spring Garth Brooks spent with the Padres. Scanlan pounced on a pause in Leitner's soliloquy to ask how the singer's glove compared to his guitar.

Honolulu, HI (Sports Network) - If play didn't improve commissioner Roger
Goodell threatened to expunge the Pro Bowl.
The motivated players didn't want to be known as the group to lead to the
game's cancellation and take away an honor for future participants.
Scoring was still aplenty, although effort was shown throughout in the NFC's
62-35 victory over the AFC.
The NFC's 62 points was a new Pro Bowl single-game mark, set last season by
the AFC, who tallied 59 points.
Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph, a late entrant for Atlanta Falcons
tight end Tony Gonzalez, was named the game's MVP with a touchdown and 122
yards receiving on five receptions.

Lately I have been revisiting my stuff where I left of. So was the Idea to create a new Version of the Maps for Arden which stopped with my last absense. Well I am back and will try a new way for it.
Inspired massively by Vorropohaiah's Stereographic Map of his World, I decided to also a Worldmap in 17. Century Mapstyle, incorporating sources from the Rumsay collection and a lot of inspiration from the maps of Diamond, -Max- and Vorro.
Also I intend to create a "Real" Atlas which share a common Design/Feel, so I can go getting the Bookbinders some Headache and Coins. Lets starts with the Basics. The original Arden map had an inside Maesurement of 9 Maps of 30 x 40 cm making it 90 x 120 cm, so I would like to repead that in a smaler scale of 1/4 of that original size making it 45 x 60 cm + 1 cm Free space at each side. Main font for Towns remains Roman Antiqua italic, fontsize 8. Main Fonts are from the IM Fell family.
Here are some Projectiontests, created with the great help of Vorro.
Added also a Version with the Earth projected on it for comparing.
@ Eilathen: This is the definite Version of my Arden map in Making so you cant complain anymore that I show you to less

Rated 3 out of 5�by Haleym This product was in good condition, but not perfect I received Ray-ban sunglasses via UPS. The glasses are in pretty good condition, but I had to send back the first pair due to a scratch in the lenses, and the second pair has a scratch on the frame (but not too noticeable). If I am going to pay $150 for sunglasses, I want them in perfect condition, never touched, in packaging. April 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by TomRiley17 First Class Product/Experience Great product, classic style, not much more to say about the product itself. In addition, the buying experience was first class. Dick's placed the order right away, provided tracking info and even got them to me earlier than expected. Overall, it was a first class buying experience. December 9, 2013

Daytona Beach, FL (July 2, 2011) – Springtime in Daytona did not favor Casey Mears, but he was hoping as he arrived this week for the July 2nd race that summer would prove to be more auspicious. After Daytona's legendary speedway betrayed the Bakersfield, CA, native in February, the security of being in the Top 35 for the Coke Zero 400 eased the nerves of the Germain Racing team when they unloaded their #13 GEICO Toyota Camry on Thursday.
Prior to the start of practice, Mears and the GEICO team would first be forced to wait out the aggression of Mother Nature, who blanketed the speedway with rain for the majority of Thursday afternoon. After the cancellation of the opening practice, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series would offer the field a compacted 45-minute session later in the evening. Mears and the #13 GEICO Toyota Camry would end up 32nd on the speed chart, just behind Brian Vickers and Kasey Kahne, when the red flag closed the series' only practice session.
Qualifying got underway late Friday afternoon, and Mears would be the 14th driver to take to the newly paved tri-oval. He navigated the #13 GEICO Camry around the high-banks of Daytona International Speedway in just 50.107-seconds, at a rate of speed of 179.616-miles per hour, placing him 32nd on the starting grid, ahead of Martin Truex, Jr., and Denny Hamlin.
Before Mears would take the green flag on Saturday night, he would first make an appearance at the GEICO display area in the GEICO campgrounds. After signing hundreds of autographs and taking photos with admiring fans, Mears then set his sights on the 160 laps of racing that would ensue a few hours later.
Clear skies and a packed grandstand overlooked the racetrack when the green flag turned the field loose for 400-miles of racing on Saturday evening. Starting 32nd, Mears and the #13 GEICO Camry immediately hooked up with their drafting partner Bobby Labonte and began to move forward until a Trevor Bayne crash brought out the event's first caution flag on Lap 4. Labonte received collateral damage and after moving up to the 24th position, Mears and the Gecko were now on the lookout for a new dance partner.
When the race went back to green on Lap 9, Mears restarted 17th and hooked up with Landon Cassill, forming what would end up being one of the most formidable duos of the evening. However, Cassill would not be Mears' only ally during the race. When the event's second caution flag was displayed on Lap 23 after Carl Edwards met the wall in Turn 4, the Germain Racing pit crew churned out a fast stop and returned Mears to the racing surface in an expedient fashion. While the #13 GEICO Camry entered pit road in the 16th position, Mears would restart ninth on Lap 27, netting seven spots during his visit.
Mears and Cassill began to effortlessly navigate to the front and cracked the Top 10 on Lap 39, when the #13 GEICO Camry took over the ninth position. Just a few laps later, on Lap 43, Mears captured fifth, and soon after moved into third on his quest to command the field.
As the race began to wear on, Mears settled comfortably into the Top 10 and would make the occasional visit to the Top 5. Lap 75 found the Daytona crowd exposed to their favorite reptile as Mears and the #13 GEICO Camry shot to the lead and would hold the spot for the next two laps. After the Gecko led his first Daytona laps in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, Mears settled into the third position as the race approached the halfway point.
With just 80 laps left on the docket, the tension on the racetrack became palpable and a focused Mears would wheel around the racetrack speaking very little on the team's radio frequency.
A persistent Mears handled the race with a veteran's calm and Lap 94 saw the hard-charging GEICO driver once again chase down the leader and take over the race's top spot, marking the second time the #13 GEICO Camry led the field.
As he approached Lap 100, Mears brought the #13 GEICO Camry down pit road for a scheduled green flag stop, taking on only left-side tires and a tank of Sunoco racing fuel. He rejoined the event in the 19th position, but quickly made up lost ground. Mears reached the Top 15 by Lap 104, while one lap later the #13 GEICO Camry would tread in familiar territory when it landed back in the Top 5.
With just two laps left in the event, race fans leaped from their seats when a big group of cars began to make contact, sending Jeff Gordon spinning in front of an oncoming Mears. Mears would miss Gordon's car by only the narrowest of margins, drawing a collective sigh from the GEICO Racing pit area. The incident would set the race up for a green-white-checker finish.
Riding in 12th under caution on Lap 160, Mears was handed his marching orders by crew chief, Bootie Barker. "Casey, you have enough fuel to do what you need to do here at the end. You and Landon should be nose to tail. Good luck."
When the race went back under green with two laps remaining, the field began crashing in Turn 2 and Mears was left with nowhere to go, falling victim to the 'big one' and causing significant damage to the #13 GEICO Camry. Mears was able to carefully limp the GEICO machine back to pit road where the Germain Racing pit crew skillfully repaired the car during the caution period.
Mears would ultimately restart the race in the 33rd position, and hustle to a 32nd place finish. The late-race crash would not overshadow the team's best overall performance of the season.
"We had a really good night tonight and it was great being able to take the lead on two different occasions and put GEICO at the front of the field at one of the biggest races of the year," Mears said. "Getting caught up in a crash with two to go is unfortunate, but wrecks happen in racing and we got wrecked while in position to make a run for the win; that's something we can live with. What's important is that we got to show the progress we're making and how good we can be. I'm proud of this entire Germain Racing team. I had a lot of fun tonight and I'm really looking forward to getting to Kentucky next week."
Next week, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will make its first-ever visit to Kentucky Speedway when all three of NASCAR's top series' compete at the Sparta facility.
Mears and the #13 GEICO Toyota Camry will hit the 1.5-mile D-shaped oval for an open day of testing on Thursday, July 7th, prior to beginning practice on Friday, July 8th, at 11:30 AM (EDT). Qualifying will follow on Friday evening at 5:10 PM (EDT).
The Quaker State 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Saturday, July 9th and it will be televised live on TNT beginning at 7:30 PM (EDT). The Performance Racing Network (PRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

Writing Samples
Some employers request that you submit a writing sample as part of your application. When submitting a writing sample to a prospective employer, think about the following guidelines:
- If an employer specifies a certain format, be sure to comply with those requirements. If the employer does not have specific requirements, follow the guidelines below.
- A writing sample should be no more than 10-pages in length. It can be an excerpt of a longer work.
- When excerpting a longer writing sample, be sure to include a cover sheet explaining: a) the sample's original purpose (i.e. a legal writing class assignment, a court pleading, etc.); b) when and for whom the sample was written; and c) the nature of the longer document, including the issues you addressed. You can also include a cover sheet for writing samples not excerpted from a longer work if you think a cover sheet provides helpful context.
- Your writing sample should demonstrate your ability to research and analyze legal issues, such as the argument section of a brief.
- If you submit a document that has been redacted for confidentiality or privilege purposes, you should identify the steps taken (redactions, name changes, consent obtained from the employer or client) to preserve the confidential or privileged nature of the document.
- Be sure to proofread the document well, and if possible, ask someone else to proofread it as well. However, if you submit a heavily edited writing sample, you should explain the extent of the editing. It is preferable to submit writing samples that have only had minor revisions made by outside reviewers.
- Include a header or footer with your name on each page, and include page numbers.
- Preferably, your writing sample should have been written in the last two years.
- If you have no writing sample that meets the above criteria, there is nothing inappropriate about submitting a writing sample developed for the express purpose of a job application.
Watch a video recording of hiring attorneys discussing writing samples.
Many employers require that you submit a transcript either with your initial application or later in the employment process. A copy of your transcript can be obtained from the Registrar's office. You may give permission to allow Career Services to request your transcript and scan it into a PDF document that you can receive via email. To upload your transcript onto the Symplicity database you must scan your transcript into a PDF document. In order to receive your transcript, you MUST have a buckeyemail account.

Anyone know if there are plans on bringing the UCE engine Bullet 350 here? I can't afford $5,500 for the Bullet 500 and have been looking at the Suzuki TU250X as an option for $4,000 but I'd rather have a Royal Enfield in the driveway. If the Bullet 350 came to the US for somewhere in the $4,000-5,000 price ranger I'd be ordering one ASAP. MPG must be excellent too.

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Andy Reid wasn't out of a job for long.
Not even five days to be exact.
According to the Kansas City Star, the Chiefs have agreed to a contract with Reid, who was fired Monday after 14 years as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Chiefs joined the Eagles on Black Monday by firing their head coach, Romeo Crennel, and on Friday agreed to part ways with general manager Scott Pioli after four years.
Pioli's departure cleared the way for Reid to become the head of football operations in Kansas City, much the way he was in Philadelphia. Reid answered only to Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie during his time in Philly and will likely have the same authority in KC with chairman and CEO Clark Hunt.
With Pioli out, Reid can bring his own general manager and player personnel people.
It was thought earlier this week that Reid was the top choice for the vacancy in Arizona. The Chiefs swooped in before Reid could meet with the Cardinals, and the scheduled interview in the desert was canceled.
The winningest coach in Eagles history, Philadelphia posted a 130-93-1 regular-season record under Reid's watch and amassed a 10-9 postseason mark. The Eagles made nine playoff appearances during Reid's 14 seasons, played in five NFC Championship Games and lost to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX.
However, the team managed only an 8-8 mark in 2011 and slipped to 4-12 this past season, the franchise's worst since 1998.
Reid joined the Eagles in 1999 and quickly turned the franchise into a perennial Super Bowl contender. He'll be in a similar situation with the Chiefs.
Despite a roster this season that featured five Pro Bowl selections, the Chiefs were just 2-14 and will have the first pick in the 2013 draft. The trying year was also marked by linebacker Jovan Belcher's murder-suicide in December.
Kansas City won the AFC West under the direction of Pioli and head coach Todd Haley in 2010. However, that 10-win season was followed by a mark of 7-9 in 2011 that included Haley's firing. Crennel took over as interim coach for the final three games in 2011 and was named the full-time replacement last January.

Hi everybody, my question is about how copying appointments in a shared calendar works. If someone shares me a calendar with admin or manager rights, I can create appointments on that calendar, as if I were the owner of that calendar. But if I create a copy of an appointment that is on that calendar on the same shared calendar, a popup warns me that "On copying an invited or shared appointment you will become the organizer for the copied appointment, and you won't receive any updates from the original appointment", and in fact the copied appointment appears with the red coloured bar, as if I was invited to that appointment, and if I try to edit that copied appointment I am warned that the changes made will be local only. Moreover, the calendar owner sees those copied appointments with the red bar as well.
There is also a small bug: if I try to delete one of these appointments with red bar, a popup asks me whether to inform or not the appointment organizer; if I choose yes, no mail are sent/received by the two involved accounts.
Could you explain me why there is this beaviour difference in creating and copying an appointment? Can't I copy an appointment as if I were the owner of the calendar, like it happens when I create a new appointment?

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Doug Martin carried the ball 28 times for 142
yards and a touchdown to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 22-17 win over the
Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Josh Freeman completed 19-of-35 passes for 222
yards with one touchdown and one interception, while Mike Williams had six
catches for 65 yards and a score for the Buccaneers (7-9), who failed to
reach the postseason for the fifth straight season. Matt Ryan was 28-for-44
passing for 238 yards and a touchdown and Michael Turner added a rushing
score for the Falcons (13-3), who have already locked up the top seed in the
NFC and a first-round bye in the upcoming playoffs.
Final Score: Buffalo 28, NY Jets 9
Orchard Park, NY (Sports Network) - While the Buffalo Bills may have had a
disappointing season, they finished on a high note with a 28-9 triumph over
the New York Jets, who can finally put an end to an embarrassing campaign.
Ryan Fitzpatrick passed for 225 yards on 12-of-26 efficiency for Buffalo
(6-10), which got late rushing scores from Brad Smith and Tashard Choice in
snapping a three-game losing skid. C.J. Spiller made two catches for 72 yards
-- including a 66-yard TD reception -- and added 59 yards on 24 carries,
while Steve Johnson eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving plateau on the season
with six catches for 111 yards. New York (6-10) scored 10 points or less for
the seventh time this year in its third straight defeat. Mark Sanchez
capped a season plagued by inconsistent quarterback play by throwing an
interception, losing a fumble and completing less than half of his passes (17-
of-35) for the eighth time in 2012. Shonn Greene rushed for 74 yards on 19
carries and Bilal Powell added 56 yards on 12 touches for New York, which
will head into the offseason early for the second consecutive year following
back-to-back AFC Championship appearances in 2009 and 2010.
Final Score: Cincinnati 23, Baltimore 17
Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Josh Brown kicked three second-half field
goals and Carlos Dunlap returned an interception for a touchdown late in the
fourth quarter as the Cincinnati Bengals closed out the regular season with a
23-17 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Andy Dalton completed 10-of-15
passes for 78 yards and a touchdown before getting removed in favor of
Bruce Gradkowski in the second half for the Bengals (10-6), who had
already locked up the sixth seed in the playoffs and will face either New
England, Houston or Denver next week depending on outcomes later Sunday.
Marvin Jones recorded Cincinnati's lone offensive touchdown while catching
five balls for 45 yards. Joe Flacco started the game for the Ravens (10-6)
but was removed after just two offensive series. Tyrod Taylor replaced him and
threw for 149 yards with the interception on 15-for-25 efficiency while also
adding 65 yards and a score on nine carries. Bernard Pierce carried the ball
22 times for 89 yards for Baltimore, which rested most of its starters as
they already had the AFC's fourth seed locked up entering the game. The
Ravens had a chance to move up to the third seed with a win, but will now play
the Indianapolis Colts in the opening round of the playoffs.
Final Score: Chicago 26, Detroit 24
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - The Chicago Bears did their part in an attempt
to get into the playoffs. Now the team has to wait. Jay Cutler threw a
touchdown pass, Matt Forte ran one in and Olindo Mare kicked four field
goals as the Bears took a 26-24 win over the Detroit Lions in the final game
of the regular season for both teams from Ford Field. Now, Chicago (10-6) has
to wait and see if it will make the playoffs as the NFC's last wild card.
What the team needs to get to the postseason is a Minnesota loss, with the
Vikings hosting Green Bay later in the day. Cutler went 18-for-31 with 257
yards while Forte had 24 carries for 103 yards in the win for the Bears, who
won their final two games of the season after dropping five of six. Matt
Stafford went 24-for-42 with 272 yards, three touchdowns and an interception
for the Lions (4-12), who completed a highly disappointing season with eight
straight losses. Stafford fell 33 yards short of 5,000 for the season, but he
did become the first quarterback to throw over 700 pass attempts in one season
as he finished the 2012 campaign with 727 attempts. Many of those passes went
to superstar wide receiver Calvin Johnson, who broke the single-season
reception yardage record last week. He posted five catches for 72 yards on
Sunday for a total of 122 catches for 1,964 yards in 2012, although he had
just five touchdown catches on the year.
Final Score: Indianapolis 28, Houston 16
Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Indianapolis had nothing to play for, but
with Chuck Pagano back in charge, the inspired Colts may have shaken up the
complexion of the AFC playoff picture. Already locked into the fifth seed in
the AFC, Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes and the Colts remained
unbeaten at home against the Houston Texans with a 28-16 triumph. The 52-
year-old Pagano, who was medically cleared by his doctor to return to his
coaching duties last week, made his first sideline appearance since Week 3
following a successful battle with leukemia. Under interim head coach Bruce
Arians' watch, the Colts went 9-4 and secured a spot in the postseason after
their win over the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday. Luck finished with
191 yards through the air on 14-of-28 efficiency for the Colts (11-5), who
moved to 11-0 all-time against Houston in Indy. Andre Johnson tallied 141
yards receiving on 12 catches for Houston (12-4), which dropped three of
its last four games to close the season and could've locked up home-field
advantage throughout the AFC playoffs with a victory.
Final Score: Carolina 44, New Orleans 38
New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - DeAngelo Williams ran for a Panthers-record
210 yards with a pair of scores, as Carolina wrapped up a solid finish to the
season with a 44-38 victory over the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome. Mike
Tolbert added 25 yards and three short touchdowns as part of a 273-yard
rushing performance for the Panthers (7-9), who won their final four games and
five of their last six, possibly saving coach Ron Rivera's job. Carolina
improved upon last year's 6-10 mark in Rivera's first season. Cam Newton
battled through a leg injury in the fourth quarter and threw for 248 yards
with an interception in the victory. The Panthers rebounded nicely after a
1-6 start, with their lone victory in that stretch coming in Week 2 against
a Saints team that had its own problems throughout an up-and-down 2012.
New Orleans (7-9) had a chance to finish at .500 after a disastrous 0-4 start
that followed numerous off-field issues, but instead wound up with a losing
record for the first time since 2007. Trouble for the Saints began in the
spring with the announcement of the bounty scandal that featured the season-
long suspension of head coach Sean Payton, who worked out a multi-year
contract extension earlier this week. A contract dispute in the summer with
Drew Brees didn't help matters, although the star quarterback set an NFL
record for most consecutive games with a TD pass and on Sunday reached
5,000 passing yards for the third time in his career while becoming the
first player in league history with at least 40 TD passes in back-to-back
years. Brees threw for 396 yards with four scores and one interception on
Sunday, while Jonathan Vilma -- a key figure in the NFL's bounty
investigation -- returned an interception for a score. Vilma eventually won
an appeal of his season-long suspension for his alleged role in the scandal.
Final Score: NY Giants 42, Philadelphia 7
East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - The New York Giants, while
simultaneously being denied a chance to defend their Super Bowl title,
delivered a resounding victory Sunday in what may have been Andy Reid's last
game on the Philadelphia Eagles' sideline. Eli Manning threw a career-
high five touchdowns passes despite windy conditions in leading the
Giants to a 42-7 blowout win in what proved to be both teams' season finale.
New York (9-7), the front-runner in the NFC East for most of the season, was
eliminated from postseason contention when the Chicago Bears upended the
Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon. A 2-5 stretch coming into Week 17 proved
too much for the reigning champions to overcome, though a pair of rookies
showed promise heading into next season. Rueben Randle caught two TD passes,
while fellow rookie David Wilson caught another from Manning, who finished
with 208 yards on 13-of-21 passes. Ahmad Bradshaw gained 148 yards from
scrimmage and ran for a touchdown in finishing off the Eagles' 4-12 campaign
-- the worst in Reid's 14-year tenure in the City of Brotherly Love. Michael
Vick, in his first start since suffering a concussion against the Cowboys
in Week 10, completed just 19-of-35 attempts for 197 yards with a
touchdown and an interception in the loss. The Eagles can opt of Vick's hefty
contract in the offseason, leading many to speculate his days, like Reid's,
are numbered in Philadelphia.
Final Score: Pittsburgh 24, Cleveland 10
Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Ben Roethlisberger had three touchdown
passes, and the Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped up the season by posting a 24-10
win over the Cleveland Browns at Heinz Field. Roethlisberger was 15-of-23
for 134 yards and the Pittsburgh defense forced four turnovers. The Steelers
(8-8) snapped a three-game skid and avoided their first losing season since
going 6-10 in 2003. With rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden and backup Colt
McCoy nursing right shoulder injuries, Thaddeus Lewis made his NFL debut
for the Browns. Lewis, promoted from the practice squad earlier in the
week, completed 22-of-32 passes for 204 yards with a touchdown and one
interception. Benjamin Watson had 64 yards on seven receptions for Cleveland
(5-11), which has dropped nine straight road games in this series.
Final Score: Tennessee 38, Jacksonville 20
Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Darius Reynaud returned two punts for
touchdowns, linebacker Zach Brown brought back two interceptions for scores
and the Tennessee Titans closed out the regular season with a 38-20 victory
over the Jacksonville Jaguars at LP Field. Tennessee (6-10) became the first
team in NFL history to return two punts and two interceptions for scores in
the same game. Because of the exploits of the Titans defense and special
teams units, the Jake Locker-led offense observed a large portion of
the game from the sidelines. He was 9-of-15 for 152 yards, while Chris
Johnson opened the scoring with a 2-yard touchdown run. Tennessee finished
with only 12 first downs and was outgained 375-221 by the Jaguars.
Jacksonville quarterback Chad Henne completed 25-of-41 passes for 298 yards
with two touchdowns and three interceptions. The Jaguars ended the season at
2-14, the worst mark in franchise history.
