Can I See Some ID?
March 23, 2009
What the National Animal Identification System has to do with you and your horse.
By Kristin Syverson with information from the Equine Species Working Group
On March 11, a representative of the American Veterinary Medical Association testified before the U.S. Congress on animal identification, making the case that a mandatory nationwide program that tracks livestock is the most effective way to minimize the effects of an animal disease outbreak.
Currently, the National Animal Identification System is a voluntary program intended to identify animals and record their movements for the purpose of disease management and control.
AQHA supports NAIS as a voluntary program.
What does this have to do with you and your horse?
Under the Animal Health Protection Act, "livestock" is defined to include "all farm-raised animals." That includes horses.
Since 1992, AQHA and Bayer Animal Health have honored outstanding ranches with the Best Remuda Award. "Best Remudas" features stunning photography and descriptive text about each of the winning ranches and their horses, on which they rely in their daily work.
In fact, NAIS can have such an impact on the equine industry that the American Horse Council founded a 35-member task force in 2003. The task force, called the Equine Species Working Group, explores the relationship of the equine industry and NAIS.
Billy Smith, AQHA Executive Director of Information Technology, is a co-chairman of the task force. AQHA has worked and continues to work closely to ensure that NAIS remains compatible with the needs of the equine industry.
The ultimate goal of NAIS is:
- To establish a national system to identify livestock and livestock premises for purposes of disease control.
- To allow the "trace back" within 48 hours of a confirmed diagnosis of a serious animal disease to ensure rapid containment of the disease.
- To protect animal health in the United States the ability to move and market livestock. Movement is particularly important to the horse industry.
Participation in NAIS requires the following information:
- An identification number for each animal.
- An identification number for each premises that holds or manages livestock.
- A movement recording system, involving a location, time and date stamp, so that livestock included in the system could be "traced" to their current location in the event of a major disease outbreak.
When you celebrate the American Quarter Horse as a true working ranch horse with Jim Jennings' "Best Remudas," all proceeds from the book benefit the American Quarter Horse Foundation, which funds scholarships, equine research, therapeutic riding and the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum.
The United States Department of Agriculture provides more information on the NAIS and the Equine Species Working Group offers a list of frequently asked questions.

John Coltrane: Countdown
John Coltrane (tenor sax)
Giant Steps (Atlantic 1311-2)
John Coltrane (tenor sax), Tommy Flanagan (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Art Taylor (drums).
Composed by John Coltrane.
Recorded: New York, May 4, 1959
Rating: 99/100 (learn more)
After being traumatically beaten into space by the Soviet Union—momentarily making Communism seem scientifically and technologically superior—the U.S. played catch-up with an urgency unseen since Pearl Harbor. Soon our own rockets began lifting off, most of which collapsed back onto the launch pad in fiery embarrassment or careened out of control and had to be detonated. Still, we were determined. And nowhere was our newfound sense of national purpose better expressed than in John Coltrane's "Countdown," the most technically advanced saxophone solo to date. Why, if an American could accomplish this, we could … go to the Moon!

Guess the headline already said everything. If I have a periodic function, for example on the real line, how could it be identified with a function, say for example on the unit circle?

Say $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C}$ is a $2\pi$-periodic function. Write $S^1$ is the unit circle in $\mathbb{C}$. You can identify $f$ with the function $g : S^1 \to \mathbb{C}$ defined by $g(e^{i\theta}) = f(\theta)$ (this definition is valid because if $e^{i\theta} = e^{i\theta'}$, then $\theta \equiv \theta' \mod 2\pi$ so $f(\theta) = f(\theta')$).
If the period is $1$, identify the interval $[0,1]$ with the circle, by the map $t \to (\cos(2\pi t), \sin(2\pi t))$
A heuristic approach is to imagine the graph of the periodic function $f\colon \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ drawn on a sheet of paper. The graph is a subset of $\mathbb R \times \mathbb R$
If it has period $L$, roll the paper into a tube along the horizontal axis so the the circumference of the cross section is $L$. The graph over any of the intervals matches that over any other of the intervals, so the graph is now a subset of the tube, which is $S^{1} \times \mathbb R$, so it is the graph of a real valued function defined on a circle

Ten had been following the strangers all afternoon and was sure that they had money. He could read it in their posture, their clothing, and the confident way they moved through the market. Discerning the wealth of potential marks was a habit that had kept Ten alive, even in these hard times.
There were four of them—four travelers from the north, if their heavy cloaks were any indication. And if the unseasonal garb weren't enough proof of the newcomers' foreignness, then their choice of a guide certainly was: Jogu, the old jinyu drunk who spent most of his time napping by the small, stagnant pond near the market. Jogu was thin for a jinyu, prone to slurred rambling, and he was missing scales. Why these gentlemen had chosen him as their guide was a mystery to Ten. Regardless, their coin must have been good, because Jogu was showing more energy than he had in years, gesturing and pointing to the mediocre sights and scenery of Halfhill Market as though they were monuments in the Jade Temple.
For their part, the four travelers were quiet, not responding to the fish-man's antics. It was obvious that these pandaren had hoped for a more direct and silent guide to their destination, and were already regretting their decision.
Ten leaned back against the alley wall and tried to think. Thinking was hard when his stomach hurt like this, but that would not change unless he put his mind to work. Harvest had been poor this season, even here in the Valley of the Four Winds. Farmers were more careful with their wares, and more guards were stationed around the trade routes than ever before. It had been a day since he had eaten—a peach that had rolled off of the fruit seller's cart as he had wheeled it from the market. Or... it had seemed to roll off, just as the cart had rumbled past where Ten had been sitting in the shadows. Ten had benefited from Kim Won Gi's "carelessness" in the past; he wanted to thank the generous trader... but was not prepared to stop stealing from him. How else was a thief to survive?
Thief. Ten was not proud of what he did, of what he had to do. If his father were alive, he would wring his paws in sorrow.
One cannot change the seasons.
The group was moving now. Jogu had finished a long soliloquy about the Shrine of the Honest Trader in what appeared to have been an epic, emotional presentation accompanied with twirling motions. When Jogu's clients had failed to respond to his act—or to tip him as he stood there, arms raised as if he were a mighty taolun tree—he had shrugged his shoulders and kept walking. The strangers followed, one of them shaking his head.
At this point, Ten was positive that they were headed to the Tiller's Council. It was the only building of note in that direction. He smiled. Of course these wealthy strangers were here to see the powerful farmers' union, possibly to discuss trade or contracts. Merchants, perhaps? That would explain the voluminous cloaks worn across broad, well-fed bellies—and, if Ten was not mistaken, covering deep pockets and purses heavy with gold. Watching closely, he could see the way the dark cloth pulled across the travelers' waists. Yes. There was coin tucked underneath. His fingers twitched.
The group was crossing Fo Bridge when it happened. Nam Ironpaw the stockmaster had just arrived at the high point of the bridge with a cart stacked high with salmon. The wheel on one side had come loose, and as Nam waved to the approaching travelers, it suddenly bent under the heavy load. The burly grocer turned in shock, helpless as the overloaded cart tipped over and spilled the contents of a night's bounteous catch onto the bridge.
"No! No!" he shouted, whiskers shaking in a visual echo of his frustration.
A silvery, wet avalanche poured across the planks of the bridge, the raised balustrades funneling it directly toward a terrified Jogu and his charges. The poor jinyu, obviously still drunk, echoed Nam's shouts at the oncoming fish—"No! No!"—and tried to wave them off with desperate, imploring gestures. The dead salmon paid no heed.
With a moist smack, the group was buried. Ten grimaced at the thought—and smell—of being bathed in clammy fish. In another second the wave passed, the remaining salmon sliding off the sides of the bridge and into the stream below. The four pandaren merchants had crouched and grasped onto the planks to keep their footing, and were now helping each other back up. Jogu had been swept along with the fish into the water, where he failed to resurface. This was funnier than it was alarming—as a jinyu, the drunk was more at home there than on land. Shouts and laughter rang from the market as Nam's family and other villagers came running.
Ten knew that there would be no better time to strike.
Slipping from the shadows, he joined the crowd moving toward the tipped cart. Slight and thin for his fourteen years, with patches of gray fur where most pandaren were white, Ten found it easy to remain unnoticed in the chaos. He usually did. Being unnoticed was something of a specialty for the youngest son of a poor turnip farmer, a son named merely for the order of his birth.
His five oldest brothers had divided up the property when Father had died, but soon learned that five pieces of a struggling farm would barely sustain them; what was the point of dividing it further if it meant they all would starve? So the remaining five, the youngest, had been given the option of staying as farmhands… or leaving. Ten had left, much to his siblings' relief. There was nothing on that farm for a young pandaren anyway. He doubted that they noticed his absence.
Just ahead, he could see members of the Ironpaw family attempting to right the cart while others gathered up what fish they could into baskets, pots, and the fronts of their aprons. Nam had approached the four strangers, head bowed, and was apologizing profusely. Ten had expected these wealthy merchants to be furious at their slimy welcome to Halfhill, but was surprised to find that they were laughing—soft, rumbling laughter that practically shook the bridge as they wiped scales from their hats, clapping each other on the shoulders. One of the travelers pulled a large fish from his collar and handed it to Nam with a nod. The stockmaster was relieved by their good humor, and he stepped away to supervise the retrieval effort. The price for salmon was high, and it had been months since his cart had been so full.
Ten moved forward, quietly collecting fish with the rest of the Ironpaw family. As he neared the travelers, he pretended to slip and stumble against the largest of them. The merchant turned, and Ten gasped. His target had only one eye. A long scar stretched across the traveler's face from brow to chin, and a black patch covered where his eye would have been. The merchant was obviously accustomed to this sort of reaction, and he smiled and steadied Ten, warning him to be careful on the wet planks. His voice was strong but kind, and the young thief felt a twinge of guilt about stealing from this gentle soul.
But warm thoughts do not quiet a rumbling stomach.
Ten bowed shyly, just as a simple village cub would, and walked away. The leather purse he had lifted from the merchant's cloak was tucked underneath Ten's grubby tunic, and he was excited to see what riches he had stolen. Gold? Not heavy enough. Jewelry? Possibly. Enough to buy some hot meals and another blanket, he hoped. Winter would soon be here, and Ten worried about the cold. The small pandaren had made sure to pocket a few of the smaller fish as well, but didn't want to press his luck. His stomach grumbled again.
He reached the edge of the market and pretended to brush scales off his sleeves as he surveyed the scene behind him. Ten's departure had gone unnoticed, and everyone was still engaged in recovering the fish before they were all swept away by the slow-moving stream. Pulling the purse from his tunic, he quickly undid the leather cord binding it together and emptied the contents into his paw.
It was not gold, not jewelry. It was a scroll. Ten's heart sank. A stupid scroll wound around a simple rod of brass with ivory ends. He lifted the delicate thing, breaking the wax seal to see if he could pull it apart. Maybe he could sell the ivory.
His eyes flashed across the page, reading the words without meaning to. Years ago, Seven had taught his younger brother to read so that he might at least help with the tallying after harvest. Ten had learned quickly, and he found the skill useful when selecting which bag to lift from an unattended grocer's stall. The message was written in strong, urgent strokes, and as he read, Ten felt a panic begin to grow in his empty belly.
Honorable Haohan Mudclaw, Leader of the Tillers in the Valley of the Four Winds,
This message comes with a greeting, a blessing upon your fields, and a warning. Our sources have come across several yaungol tribes moving east from the Townlong Steppes in a manner more akin to escape than aggression. In centuries past, this has taken place when the mantid were surging, their hives growing to such numbers that even the mighty hooved ones flee before them. Our own forces are spread thin, Haohan, and we need to begin storing supplies for the coming conflict. Well we know of your poor harvest this year, and of your duty to feed the people of the valley and beyond. But our need is urgent. Please send what you can with these esteemed guardians. They will assure that whatever your generosity allows you to part with arrives safely.
These were not the words of a merchant.
Esteemed guardians. These travelers had not come to trade. The mark at the bottom of the scroll caused Ten to catch his breath. It was a simple mark, a circle with curving stripes coming down the sides, the snarling face of a white tiger.
Suddenly there was a commotion back by the bridge. Ten spun around, swiftly tucking the scroll into his tunic. Jogu had emerged from the water and was shouting and pointing... pointing at Ten.
"Thief! My good masters have been robbed! Thief! Thief!"
At first, nobody knew what the hysterical jinyu was talking about. Some looked at Ten with suspicion, and a few laughed at Jogu, rolling their eyes at his drunken rambling. But the large pandaren that Ten had bumped felt into his pocket and then made a quick gesture to his fellows. Their cloaks fell away to reveal weapons—swords, spears, blades that glinted dangerously in the sunlight. Yes, they had been hiding something after all. Ten had been half right.
It was time to run.

Beavers Edged by No. 2/3 Minnesota 28-12

Follow Oregon State Wrestlling on: Twitter | Facebook
Corvallis, Ore. – The Oregon State wrestling team fell to No. 2/3 Minnesota 28-12 on Saturday evening, after coming within two points after the sixth bout.
The 2,138 people in attendance showed their support for the Beavers through all 10 bouts, showing particular excitement for senior RJ Pena (157) and redshirt junior Alex Elder (165) after both collected a combined 12 points for Oregon State with a pair of pins over their opponents.
Minnesota tallied the first 14 points of the match with major decisions over Pat Rollins (125) and Drew Van Anrooy (133), and decision victories over Joey Delgado (141) and No. 7 Scott Sakaguchi (141). Sakaguchi's bout with Minnesota's No. 3 Nick Dardanes came down to the wire and ended in a 4-3 decision.
No. 6 Pena got the Beavers back on track at 157, recording a fall against Minnesota's Brandon Kingsley at the 4:04 mark. Pena tallied Oregon State's first six points and brought a new sense of energy to the squad.
At 165, Elder kept the ball rolling with an upset over Minnesota's No. 17 Daniel Zilverberg, recording a fall in 6:58. Elder collected six more points for the Beavers, bringing them within two heading into the last four bouts.
Moving into 174, Minnesota claimed a decision over Oregon State's Joe Latham, and a tech fall over Brian Engdahl at 184. Minnesota's No. 2 Scott Schiller upset Oregon State's No. 1 Taylor Meeks at 197 by a 3-1 sudden victory decision.
In the final bout, Minnesota's No. 1 Tony Nelson recorded a 6-0 decision over Oregon State's No. 20 Amarveer Dhesi, giving the Gophers the 28-12 victory.
Head Coach Jim Zalesky on the team's performance…
"I think you've got to know where you're at. I don't want to know where I'm at when it's too late; I want to know where I am right now. So this is a good measuring stick to see where we are at early in the year. Now we've got a long time to work on what we got beat on."
On Pena and Elder's pins…
"It was kind of disappointing at 149, it was a tough match. It was kind of a close call. We needed some momentum there and those two pins got us going."
Alex Elder on following Pena's big pin…
"You try not to focus too much on what the guy ahead of you is doing; you've got to worry about your own match. But you can't help but get fired up and ready to go. You get the momentum going."
Elder on his pin…
"The whole match I just kept in my mind, 'keep wrestling; keep wrestling.' Just don't give up and good things happen when you keep wrestling. That's kind of the mentality I had through the whole match."
Elder on the team's performance…
"It's a good measure of where we're at. We definitely need to improve on a lot of things; team-wise, everyone. It shows that we have a lot of room for improvement and what we need to do to close that gap."

New One Direction World Store Opens In Toronto
More than 1,000 screaming fans turned up for the opening of the latest One Direction store opening, this time in Toronto, Canada.
The store opened early Saturday morning and will remain open until September 2nd, giving Directioners a chance to grab some awesome 100% official merchandise.
Reece Page, the shop manager said:
"We're standing on a storeroom, as we speak, full of stock. We have another storeroom at the back and we've got printers on standby 24/7. No one will be disappointed today. There's plenty of stock. It's a massive fan base in Toronto. I've been here since three o'clock this morning with them and they've been singing all morning."
More people attended this opening than the one in Sydney, Australia, and fans treated themselves to t-shirts, calenders, 1D dolls as well as bracelets, necklaces and huge posters.
Security did a great job of keeping the crowds organised, and according to onlookers everything went smoothly.
Toronto fans, did you manage to make it down to the store? What did you buy?

Paul Russell and George Kelly join In-public
Friday 19 February 2010
In-Public is delighted to welcome two new members to the group. We've long been fans of the humorous seaside observations of talented Bournemouth (UK) photographer Paul Russell, and the classical b/w street scenes of George Kelly from Portland, Oregon.
This brings to 20 the number of In-Public street photographers who'll be helping us celebrate our 10th anniversary by showing their work at London's Photofusion Gallery in Brixton, London, between the 27th May and the 10th July 2010.
In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.
Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what's really going on in the world around us.Read more

Stiff Upper Lips Showtimes and Tickets
Read Movie Reviews about Stiff Upper Lips Write a Movie Review for Stiff Upper Lips
Dvd Release Date: 2000-09-12
Genre: Comedy,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 34min
It's 1908. The height of the British Empire. Good news for the Upper Classes and Merchant Ivory. Bad news for everyone else. Aunt Agnes is desperate to marry off her niece Emily to a respectable, proper, wealthy man with the right background, and Cedric seems the answer... except that Emily hates Cedric and Cedric may be more interested in her brother Edward... Whether you love or loathe British costume dramas, you will laugh at Gary Sinyor's clever spoof of the staid literary adaptation genre. A wonderfully nonsensical romance that is a rollicking send-up of period drama from Howards End and A Room With A View to Emma and Sense and Sensibility, STIFF UPPER LIPS stars some of Britain's most beloved actors.

The effect of transmitted drug resistance (TDR) on first-line combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) for HIV-1 needs further study to inform choice of optimum drug regimens. We investigated the effect of TDR on outcome in the first year of cART within a large European collaboration.
HIV-infected patients of any age were included if they started cART (at least three antiretroviral drugs) for the first time after Jan 1, 1998, and were antiretroviral naive and had at least one sample for a genotypic test taken before the start of cART. We used the WHO drug resistance list and the Stanford algorithm to classify patients into three resistance categories: no TDR, at least one mutation and fully-active cART, or at least one mutation and resistant to at least one prescribed drug. Virological failure was defined as time to the first of two consecutive viral load measurements over 500 copies per mL after 6 months of therapy.
Of 10,056 patients from 25 cohorts, 9102 (90·5%) had HIV without TDR, 475 (4·7%) had at least one mutation but received fully-active cART, and 479 (4·8%) had at least one mutation and resistance to at least one drug. Cumulative Kaplan-Meier estimates for virological failure at 12 months were 4·2% (95% CI 3·8-4·7) for patients in the no TDR group, 4·7% (2·9-7·5) for those in the TDR and fully-active cART group, and 15·1% (11·9-19·0) for those in the TDR and resistant group (log-rank p<0·0001). The hazard ratio for the difference in virological failure between patients with TDR and resistance to at least one drug and those without TDR was 3·13 (95% CI 2·33-4·20, p<0·0001). The hazard ratio for the difference between patients with TDR receiving fully-active cART and patients without TDR was 1·47 (95% CI 0·19-2·38, p=0·12). In stratified analysis, the hazard ratio for the risk of virological failure in patients with TDR who received fully-active cART that included a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) compared with those without TDR was 2·0 (95% CI 0·9-4·7, p=0·093).
These findings confirm present treatment guidelines for HIV, which state that the initial treatment choice should be based on resistance testing in treatment-naive patients.

Wall-Mounted Box Gives Teachers Easy Access to Overhead Projectors
Using Wiremold WallSource Multiservice Boxes to install overhead LCD projectors in schools
View all Wiremold Products
The School District of Palm Beach County, Florida, has a program to install overhead LCD projectors in all classrooms in new schools and as part of a comprehensive technology upgrade of all older schools. But meeting this need requires more than buying and mounting projectors. With teachers accessing a variety of media from their computers, as well as external sources, such as the Internet, servers, and television, "we realized we needed to provide access to all the cabling right at the teacher's desk, and to make it clean, neat, and flexible," says Ron Levinson, an engineer with West Palm Beach-based JLRD, Inc., a professional consulting engineering firm.
JLRD developed a standard that provides for a media cabinet in each classroom. But instead of making connections directly to this cabinet, the plan specifies a WallSource™ Series Multiple Service Box from Legrand/Wiremold at or near each teacher's desk. The four-gang WallSource Box provides multiple service access at a single location, eliminating the need for single-gang boxes. "The WallSource box is nice looking and large enough to handle all the requirements," notes Levinson.
In each classroom, a WallSource Series Multiple Service Box houses connections for data, audio, and CAT 5E and 15-pin VGA cable associated with the overhead projector. A 45-degree adapter for the VGA connection provides an extra measure of protection against accidental damage. A fourth gang within the box is left blank for future technology expansion. The box accepts 1½-inch conduit, which is large enough to accommodate pre-terminated VGA cables.
In classrooms with moveable desks, the WallSource Series Multiple Service Box was installed in the wall near the desk. Where desks are in a permanent location or at laboratory demonstration tables, the box is installed in the furniture itself. In either case, the proximity of the box to the teacher's station eliminates the need to run cables across the wall or the floor back to the media cabinet. "It's one of the most effective arrangements that we can put at a teacher's location and still have full flexibility without unsightly wires hanging off the wall," says Levinson.

On an iPhone how do I calculate the size of a character in pixels for a given point size?
Point sizes are defined as 1/72 of an inch. That is, a 72-point font is approximately 1 inch from the lowest descent to the highest ascent. So the maximum height of a glyph in a 72pt font is about 1 inch.
Apple's iphone tech specs page claims that the iPhone currently has a resolution of 163 pixels per inch. So 72 points is 163 pixels, or about 2.2639 pixels per point. Just remember that every glyph varies in height and width, so this is a very rough estimate of size. Generally, the distance between baselines will be a bit larger than the font's point size so that lines of text don't crash into each other.
If you need exact measurements (and you probably do) then you'll need to actually measure the font glyphs using the font metric information. You can do this by using NSString's UIKit additions, which will let you measure the size of a particular string when rendered on screen.
To match font sizes (in Points) on the iPhone4 with font sizes (in Points) in Photoshop you have to set your Photoshop document to 144dpi. I have run a number of tests and that's the resolution that produces 1:1 results.
I have gone through a number of different resolutions, including the 163dpi that was mentioned in the answer above, and I found that 144dpi produces 1:1 results. I have also tested this against a native app where I know the point sizes and the 144dpi was match there too.
Our graphic artist was very specific on certain devices to use pixel sizes instead of point size. The function below will return a font based on pixel size. It uses a brute force method to find the closet font, but then caches the results so next time the return will be very fast. I always appreciate comments on how this code could be made better. I use this function as a static class member in class called utils. You can easily paste into any class you are using. Hope it is of some help.

You can't reliably convert points to pixels as the ppi (points-per-inch) will change from monitor to monitor. Have a read;

MEDINA — The city is changing its health insurance provider for employees.
City Council voted at a special meeting Monday to end Medina's contract with Akron-based SummaCare and enter a contract with United Healthcare, based in Hartford, Conn.
The new pact goes into effect Jan. 1.
Mayor Dennis Hanwell said the switch will save the city about $172,000 next year.
He said that if the city had stayed with SummaCare, premiums would have increased by about 22 percent. With the switch in providers, premiums will increase by about 13 percent, he said.
The city pays 92 percent of the policy premiums and employees pay 8 percent.
The mayor said 124 full-time city employees participate in the insurance program. Part-time employees are not eligible for coverage.
Council President John Coyne said that because many of the employees are represented by unions, the coverage offered by United Healthcare had to be "substantially the same" as that provided by SummaCare.

For months, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has been acting like the prosecutor in the New Orleans Saints bounty case. Now former commissioner Paul Tagliabue at least seems to be acting like a judge.
Tagliabue, who was brought in to hear the players' latest round of appeals, certainly won't find the Saints innocent of all the bounty accusations he's been reviewing the past two weeks. And he might even wind up reaching many of the same conclusions that Goodell reached.
But Tagliabue at least did something that Goodell never did. He took a thorough look at the whole picture, hearing arguments from all sides in a courtroom-style setting, before making his ruling, which is expected next week.
That's a far cry from the way the NFL handled things early in this bounty case, when Goodell rushed to judgment against the Saints and then tried to justify -- and modify -- his accusations throughout the months that followed.
Sources who were privy to Tagliabue's hearings over the past two weeks have followed his directive to keep details private. However, there does seem to be a general appreciation both on and off the record for the way Tagliabue has handled the proceedings -- and a feeling that things would be much different today if the NFL had handled things this way from the start.
"I think Paul seemed a little bit more receptive," Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma said after testifying Monday.
Of course, it would only be natural to remain skeptical about Tagliabue's "independence." The last time the NFL brought in someone from the outside to review its case -- former federal prosecutor Mary Jo White -- the league wound up hiring her to lead its appeals presentation before Taglaibue.
But many sources have predicted that Tagliabue can be a fair and independent thinker. And perhaps his fresh perspective will allow him to conclude that the Saints weren't running the kind of sinister, widespread "bounty program" that Goodell originally painted it out to be.
Again, it's important to add in the qualifier that the Saints clearly are guilty of running an illegal pay-for-performance program that included rewards for opponents' injuries -- even if they came via clean, legal hits, referred to as "cart-offs." And evidence strongly points to some form of bounty being placed on Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre in the NFC championship game following the 2009 season.
So some form of punishment was deserved, and it would be inaccurate to accuse the NFL of "framing" the Saints or basing all of its accusations on false evidence.
But I do believe the league thought its case against the Saints was much more damning back in March, before more details came to light.
The league has even touted the fact that it wanted to announce the bounty investigation first, before details leaked out in the media, so it could prove it was being pro-active instead of reactive.
However, that only adds to the notion that Goodell acted before taking as long as he needed to get a full, clear picture of the situation -- no doubt motivated by his desire to show how seriously the league treats player safety in the wake of mounting concussion lawsuits.
It also seems clear that the Saints hurt themselves in those early meetings with the commissioner in March when coaches like Sean Payton, Joe Vitt and Gregg Williams and General Manager Mickey Loomis were first presented with the bounty accusations. By most accounts those meetings were confrontational. And no doubt, the Saints were uncooperative -- most likely covering up certain details about their actions.
But at the same time, when members of the Saints organization denied the existence of a bounty program then, they were accused of lying. Yet many of those same people continue to deny the existence of a "bounty program" today, even though they admit to the payments for cart-off hits. Some of the divide is about semantics.
The league, meanwhile, has repeatedly addressed those semantics issues by modifying its accusations against the Saints.
For instance, back in one of Goodell's first statements about the Saints' alleged conduct, Goodell said players would "willingly and willfully target their opponents and engage in unsafe and prohibited conduct intended to injure players."
Since then, however, the league has backed away from specific accusations of "willfully targeting opponents," of "engaging in unsafe and prohibited conduct" on the field and of any specific "intent to injure." It's like the league has had a moving target on the Saints.
The league has repeatedly stressed that players were never punished for any actual conduct that took place on the field -- only for the program they ran off the field. The NFL made that distinction again this week in a federal court filing.
Also, NFL attorney Jeff Pash earlier stressed that the league can't prove intent and that "intent is never a part of our disciplinary process."
Furthermore, when the league first unveiled its accusations against the Saints, it referenced bounties against Favre, Kurt Warner, Aaron Rodgers and Cam Newton. But it has since stopped referencing the Rodgers and Newton bounties, which only came up in emails from former Saints associate Mike Ornstein, who later said he was joking about the bounty offers in his emails.
Many other pieces of the NFL's case like that have been picked apart over the months, as the league has continued to modify its accusations.
Like the bounty ledger that included Vitt's name next to a $5,000 notation. The league said it didn't believe that part of the ledger was accurate but still used the rest of it as evidence.
Or the video that allegedly showed Anthony Hargove saying "Give me my money" after Favre was hurt. When it later appeared that Hargrove probably wasn't the one saying those words, the league said it didn't matter who said them.
Or Hargrove's signed declaration, in which he said he was instructed by Williams and Vitt to deny the existence of any bounties. The league said Hargrove's declaration established the existence of a bounty program and showed that he knew about it and participated in it -- though he never actually said those things.
Taken individually, those are all just "leaks" in the NFL's case. But it seems like Goodell and the league have been so busy trying to plug those leaks over the past eight months that they never took the time to fairly evaluate it.
That's a strong argument for why Goodell shouldn't be in a position to hear his own appeals in a case like this. And that's why, after months spent trying to prove and justify his case against the Saints, he finally made his best move by bringing in someone else to review it.

Classic Bread & Butter Pickles (No Canning Required!)
This recipe produces classic bread and butter pickles—the kind my mom used to make every summer when I was a little mouse. They're sweet. They're tangy. They have a fabulous crunch.

Quick Fresh Pickles
These crisp pickles are high on my list of nibbles and noshes to take on a picnic or a barbecue.

Sweet Cherry Jam
I love jam. On toast. In marinades for ribs and glazes for chicken. Warmed up and drizzled over vanilla ice cream. This sweet cherry jam is a fabulous way to enjoy cherries as they come into season. Because this jam has a lot of sugar, I never bother canning it. It will keep just fine in the fridge for a few weeks—if it lasts that long.cherry, jam, lemon
Fiery Green Hot Sauce

A first of its kind, the New York senate just passed a bill that not only will require convicted animal abusers to register as such in New York (just like registered sex offenders), but also will require them to undergo psychiatric evaluation. As many are aware, animal abuse/torture is a gateway behavior to human abuse/murder.
The bill was inspired by Buster's Law, a case about a cat named Buster that was set on fire after being soaked in gasoline. The landmark case made animal cruelty in the state a felony offense.
New York Senator Greg Ball (R-Patterson) said that animal abusers are the worst kinds of people in our society whose behavior towards animals is a measuring stick by which to expect how they would treat people. Further, he shared that such violence cannot and will not be tolerated.
Three cheers for this guy!
The proposed registry will be accessible by the public in order that those involved in selling pets or hosting animal adoptions can look up names of potential pet parents to see if their names appear on the list.
The first step in the process is complete. Now the bill must go before the state's assembly for a vote. The bill's representative in assembly will be Rep. Jim Tedisco (R-Glenville).
The success of such a law will be a shining example for the other 49 states that will hopefully follow suit. Cross fingers and toes for the animal abuse registry. (Reported in OpposingViews.com)
Now if we could just get federal-level representatives to be this passionate about all animals (domestic, wild, and livestock).
New York state residents; pick up the phone, call your representatives and voice your support for this bill.

CT artist Manny James is quickly rising up the iTunes R&B/Soul chart with the release of his debut EP 'Just Being Honest,' currently holding the #14 spot for New Releases as of Monday July 7, according The Art of the Mix and the Manny James Facebook artist page.
The Patriarch Recordings artist released the 7 track EP on Independence Day 2014 to rave reviews and a whopping 5-star customer rating. What is so enjoyable about this album? According to some of the reviews - it's Grown and it's Soulful.
"Great album. Definitely has the old school retro soul, feel good music. Congrats to manny James on this project. #justbeinghonest," was posted by Mpire Lifestyle via the iTunes comments.
"This album is absolutely grown folks music. The vibe, the old school feel, it reminds me of Motown! I love it, keep doing it big #MannyJames #CTpride for sure!!!!!," is another comment from a 'Just Being Honest' customer.
Manny James has been gearing up for the completion of his debut album since the release of the lead single "Good Company." The upbeat-tempo tune was released during the beginning of the year; followed by the premier of the highly anticipated video on February 20.
The single has been garnering the attention of R&B lovers worldwide with frequent spins on major radio stations such as New Haven's 94.3 WYBC, Hartford's 93.7 WZMX and online station uglyradio.net. In addition to the airwaves, the video for "Good Company" can be viewed on popular sites like VH1.com and MTV.com
'Just Being Honest' evokes a string of emotions from track 1 to track 7. "Feel good music" as described by Mpire Lifestyle pretty much sums up the experience of listening to this EP. It takes you on a journey of feeling like you want to dance like the song tells you when you hear "Good Company," or slowly swaying from side to side, feeling beautifully at peace, while listening to the calypso influenced melody of "She is Loved," or even feeling like it's okay to speak your mind, say how you feel, "just being honest and you don't have to like me for it," when listening to the lyrics of the title track "Just Being Honest."
A trip down Motown lane with a sound that's reminiscent of so many greats. Many listeners have compared James' sound to that of Sam Cooke, Pharrell and Cee Lo Green.
Manny James will be performing live on July 12 at Darius Murrell's Day & Night Affair, at the Oakdale Theater, 95 S Turnpike Rd, Wallingford, CT at 4p. "Just Being Honest" is available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon.
