The summer schedule that is typically the foundation of football champions can become rote.
To add some spice to the varsity offseason, more than a dozen programs competed in the Florida High School 7v7 Association's North Florida regional qualifier Wednesday afternoon in Palm Coast. Held on the campus of Matanzas High School, it was one of four regionals held across the state.
Last Week: St. Augustine was off; Nease 39, Middleburg 17
2014 Result: St. Augustine won 58-0
Players to Watch: St. Augustine — RB Jahquise Russell ran for four touchdowns in last year's romp over the Panthers. Nease — WR Ashton Wood has been consistent all season, but the sophomore broke out with 10 catches for 164 yards and two touchdowns last week against Middleburg.
Player, school Com. Att. Yards TD INT
Nick Tronti, Ponte Vedra 111 169 1968 21 4
Leighton Alley, Nease 103 163 1394 10 2
Jordan Smith, Bartram Trail 69 135 1212 12 3
Cole Northrup, St. Augustine 80 152 1015 10 4
Tom Slavin, Creekside 50 115 869 4 9
Matt Consadine, St. Joseph 28 81 507 6 3
Joey Gatewood, Bartram Trail 35 65 357 3 3
Darian Oxendine, Menendez 22 29 255 2 1
Sebastian Vallone, Menendez 14 32 187 1 1
Tyler Ames, FSDB 7 17 166 3 0
What's done is done. Any energy the Nease football program devotes to the double dose of defeat dished out by St. Augustine in recent years will detour the Panthers from their objective when the two teams meet tonight. At least that's what Panthers coaches believe.
The Panthers (5-2) know a home victory over No. 2 St. Augustine in a District 4-6A contest will at the worst get them into a three-way tiebreaker with the Yellow Jackets and Englewood.
Creekside defensive tackle Peter Lindner was named to National College Preps scouting magazine's Top 100 Watch List.
Stopping the swarm
It's rarely noteworthy to mention how St. Augustine has towered over its county opponents. However, when it comes to how the Yellow Jackets have dominated rival Nease over the last two seasons, it is.
St. Augustine has outscored Nease 100-0 over the past two years, marking the first time since 2001 that the Yellow Jackets shut out the Panthers in consecutive games.
The key to last year's 58-0 romp and the 42-0 win in 2013 was the Yellow Jackets' ability to pile up points in a hurry.
St. Augustine High School will be celebrating its 2005 state championship football team with a pair of events on Oct. 29 and Oct. 30. On Oct. 29, all Yellow Jackets from the 2005 team are invited to attend practice. On Oct. 30, members are invited to the west end zone for refreshments.
Attendees can contact Mark Shelley at 347-1651 or firstname.lastname@example.com for information or Quinterrance Cooper at 669-5354.
MIDDLEBURG — Leighton Alley passed for 285 yards and three touchdowns as Nease defeated Middleburg 39-17 Friday night.
Ashton Wood caught 10 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns for the Panthers, who improved to 4-2, 2-0 in District 4-6A.
Middleburg fell to 0-8, 0-3.
Nate McClintock added two rushing touchdowns for the Panthers, Zach Sheffer caught three passes for 35 yards and a touchdown. Kendric Harris led Nease in rushing with 62 yards on 18 carries.
Beacon of Hope secured the FCAPPS District Championship with a sloppy win over visiting Seacoast 38-34 in eight-man football Friday night.
Seacoast scored first. Beacon's first touchdown came on a 15-yard run by Rashard Williams. Seacoast led 22-8 with only a few seconds left in the half, but Beacon scored with 4 seconds left when JJ Pinkney hit Alex Chenault on a 34-yard touchdown strike to close the score to 22-14.
When all else fails, give the ball to your workhorse.
That's the mantra that Creekside and Fleming Island have taken as disappointing seasons chug toward their end. On Friday at Creekside, Fleming Island senior running back Trey Sneed one-upped his opposite number, Creekside senior Blake Morgan, in Fleming's 23-17 Region 3-7A overtime victory.
St. Joseph had already tried and failed on three field goal attempts.
A high snap went over the holder's head and Carlos Sanchez never got the chance to boot a 41-yarder in the second quarter. His kicks from 47 and 40 yards were long enough but wide.
But with 5:51 left he got one more opportunity, and the sophomore drilled a chip shot 18-yarder that would give the Flashes a 10-7 victory over Tallahassee John Paul II and keep their record unblemished at 7-0.
They will try to match their 2006 start of 8-0 next week when they travel to Winter Haven All Saints Academy.

Skip to comments.Irwindale's a town where something always smells funny
Posted on 04/26/2014 1:59:44 PM PDT by jazusamo
Let me state my bias up front. I like hot sauce.
I like it on eggs. I like it in ramen. I like it on stir-fry dishes and Mexican food, and I don't think you can honestly call yourself a Californian if you're not a hot sauce lover.
And so I went to Irwindale last week to investigate the Sriracha sauce standoff. As you may have heard, city officials are waging battle against the manufacturer, responding to citizen complaints that jalapeño-scented air blowing out of the hot sauce plant can irritate your throat and make your eyes water, especially during the late summer, which is pepper-grinding season.
Let me tell you one more thing. I like Irwindale, even if it did draft an ill-advised resolution declaring the Sriracha plant a public nuisance. And let's be honest: You won't hear a lot of people say they like the tiny industry-rich San Gabriel town of 1,400, which is perhaps not the prettiest place on earth unless you find warehouses, business parks, a dog food factory and rock quarries attractive.
But Irwindale does things in its own fashion, as do many little L.A. County burgs that have little reason to exist other than for local lords to belly up to the trough of robust commerce. If nothing else, such towns keep headline writers employed.
Irwindale, for example, blew $20 million trying to woo the Raiders. A public official in the town was once indicted for rigging an election, and there are those who think that even today ballots should be checked to see if the voters are still among the living. In a delicious caper in the 1970s, a mayor was drugged with spiked enchiladas and then photographed in compromising positions with a nude woman as part of a blackmail plot...
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
Yeah as SO Cal resident I could tell you they cant get Gangstra NFL team like Raiders into Irwindale back in da day LOL!
I can believe that. I wonder if they have ever heard of the onions, garlic and tomato processing plants. Whoo, there are some pretty bad smells there.
Exactly right. :)
LMAO am I right about Raiders
Hey there is rumor going around that Raiders may come back to Los Angeles also San Diego Chargers may beat them to that LOL!
Maybe Irwindale politicians will go after the Raiders again if they don't run all their industry out of town before it happens. LOL!
I would submit that people need to be considerate neighbors.
If I was doing something that created discomfort for my neighbor, I would be approached to stop it. Why shouldn't I be?
It is reasoned that the byproducts of hot sauce production could cause severe discomfort to neighbors if the emissions were not handled properly.
I don't want to see a business come under attack unfairly. It is entirely reasoned to see a business be a good neighbor just like anyone else.
People living in the area should not see their air so badly affected that their homes become unlivable, and their property values be destroyed.
There has to be some reason, and I would advocate that for both sides.
Now, the hot sauce premise. Strangely, I as a Caucasian have a high tolerance for hot sauce. I can often take a lot more heat that a person of Hispanic ancestry. Does that mean they are not true Californians?
I don't care for statements like the one I highlighted above. It makes the writer look like a moron right out of the gate.
The old guy's manufacturing facility was originally in Rosemead but they grew so much that he JUUUUUST opened this much bigger one in Irwindale.
And now they're giving this poor guy FREAKING HELL.
He spent alllll that money and now they're going to destroy him.
Check out the movie, "Sriracha" —shows the whole company. The CEO is a really great guy and started from absolutely NOTHING.
He was literally spooning the stuff in to bottles with a common kitchen spoon, one bottle at a time.
I hope he simply up and leaves California all together.
Back in my youth, we'd have loved a Sriracha plant in town. We had to settle for a copper smelter putting out SO2. Actually, it smelled like next week's paycheck as people would say.
Sriracha smell complaints began with Irwindale councilman's son
There's many area's that would love to have him relocate to and out of CA would be a wise choice if it comes to that.
They make Malt-o-meal in a factory in Northfield Mn. Man does that town smell nice.
"I hope he simply up and leaves California all together."
And why would he do that when his long-time source for his peppers is located in adjoining Ventura County? LA County has a proliferation of little "$hitball Cities" like Irwindale (Bell, Vernon, Industry, Commerce, Cudahy, you name them), that are little fiefdoms of good old-fashioned political corruption that has nothing to do with California's overall political climate (which it is evident you hate). Tran will likely move, but not out of the state. My bet is that he will move closer to his pepper farmer, which is what he should have done in the first place when he needed a larger facility. Irwindale lured him with there money, and now they are trying to squeeze him. Good luck with that! Siriacha is a one of a kind product!
Well, it does seem that some folks are having a problem with it. I can't account for who first reported it, or who says they can't smell anything.
As an older person, my nose isn't near as sensitive as it used to be. My former wife's nose was far more sensitive.
Air currents can also distort the area of problematic concentrations of fumes. Perhaps the air rises from the plant due to the heat of the exhaust air, and comes down a distance away, where prevailing winds send it most of the time.
The inherent ingredients of the chilies seems to be a larger problem than beer or dog food ingredients. I wouldn't expect dog food or beer to be able to be used for pepper spray or the like. Chili particulates probable could.
It doesn't seem like the neighbors would have to be your typical problematic complainers to have a problem here.
I agree with this, but honestly I'd hope it wouldn't come to that. Didn't I read that they increased production levels considerably over recent years? Perhaps that's why it has become a bigger problem in recent years.
YouTube trailer for the Sriracha MOVIE:
Yes, they increased production when they moved to Irwindale from Rosemead because they ran out of room there.
He's been working on a filtering system and I personally think they'll take care of the odor and stay in Irwindale but right now it's anyone's guess.
Right, Mr. Lopez. There really are some weird right-wing kook conspiracy believers who actually that the pure, angelic Dems would cast a dead person's vote. It's laughable, isn't it? Who's ever heard of such a wacky idea?
Now back to your regularly schedule program about sriracha sauce.
Jim, I tell ya, you ain't lived until you've been in a town with a kraft pulp mill. There's nothing in the world like the aroma of black liquor.
If Irwindale doesn't want them, Texas will be happy to take them.
If Irwindale doesn't want them, Texas will be happy to take them.
Thanks Jazumano. Here's to hoping he can work it out. I'm sure he has a number of employees, and I don't want to see the business or them causes harm here.
This is one of those issues where easy answers may not be readily available. That's too bad.
There are plenty of commercially-available deodorizing scrubbers for food plants. I wonder if he's experimented with one yet. It's not hard to find the manufacturers of such systems.
4 min broadcast about the Sriracha hubbub in Irwindale:
The city of Irwindale has only ONE THOUSAND VOTERS and is essentially a business.
Sriracha brought in SIXTEEN MILLION DOLLARS to the city.
Do you know how many complaints they have had there? FOUR —count 'em.
Before they moved east to Irwindale, they'd been making their product the same way in Rosemead for THIRTY YEARS, and how many complaints did they get there during that time?
Right before this anti-Sriracha city council vote, the Mayor and two council members were charged with CORRUPTION.
Some time back I read he had people from air filtering companies looking at the problem but don't recall who or if any companies were named.
These councilmen are going to have to be patient and work with him instead of shutting him down or he'll be forced to leave and if that happens everyone will be losers.
Amen to that. Good find, thanks!
That's the politics of Irwindale that I knew.
The "city" of Industry, which stretches about 15 miles along San Jose Creek northeast of Pico Rivera has a lot of warehouses, manufacturers, car dealerships and a big shopping mall but only about 200 voters. And Vernon, which has an even smaller population had a mayor a few years ago who claimed as his residence a structure that was clearly an office building.
The "town" should be in the business of flood diversion.
FWIW, not all hot sauces are the same.
The capsaicin in capsicum peppers feels hot. It can hurt; but, it's only a simulation of a burn. OTOH garlic (the other source of heat in sriracha sauce) can produce very real chemical burns.
Ever drive into Gilroy, CA on a hot afternoon?
A few decades ago, I traveled a couple of hundred miles every other weekend to Before CA I5 was built, and part of the trip was trough the town of Vacaville (Cowville) where there was an Onion dehydrating plant. It was the most pleasant segment of the trip, since I love onion.
An ancillary claim to fame was the famous (now closed) Nut Tree Airport which attracted private flyers for 100 mile radius, to visit the Nut Tree Restaurant, which housed a fantastic bookstore and civil and military aviation souvenir shop. Flying in there for a meal was always memorable.
Not all food odors are irritating.
From having driven through Albany, OR, I'll have to agree.
Forever, Louisville, Ky. has had a Ralston Purina plant in the middle of the town that processes Soy Beans.
God awful smell.
Then there is the pulp mills around Jacksonville, ugh/
I can believe that. You have to live in these places to understand their full shall I say smell. Phew.
True and I am familiar with Vacaville. The smell can be unpleasant.
Yes. LOL
Several years ago I was about to be transferred to Orlando and found a home near Deland.
Almost bought the place then decided to go visit it on a blustery windy north west stormy day and the smell nearly knocked ya on the ground.
To the north west of the place was a chicken farm no one told us about.
Man o man what a stench.
No wonder they wanted to sell.
LOL I can believe it.

Germany's National Debt Burden Declined Last Year, FAZ Reports
Germany's Finance Ministry estimated the national debt burden fell to 79 percent of gross domestic product last year on lower-than-expected bad bank debts, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung said in a preview of an article to be published tomorrow.
The newspaper cited Deputy Finance Minister Steffen Kampeter. Bad bank debts dropped to 8.3 percent of GDP, according to a written answer by Kampeter to questions posed by Otto Fricke of the Free Democratic Party, the FAZ said.
Kampeter said there was growth of 3 percent and 2.5 percent inflation, while new debt represented 1 percent of GDP, according to the paper.
Hypo Real Estate and Westdeutsche Landesbank were the two lenders whose debts were lower than anticipated, the FAZ reported. The figures should be confirmed at the end of the current quarter, according to the paper.

I think we may have called the wrong property, as they spoke broken English and my broken Spanish may not have worked well. I got the impression that one or two (my question is which one is the hotel and not a private timeshare/condo/etc) of these is not a hotel, as we tried to check room availability and it appears that it is a condo/timeshare arrangement.
My wife and I want to take the kids, age 5 and 7, to a nice/safe/clean property for a long weekend.
Thank You guys

Skip to comments.Jane Fonda: Obama Funder Jodie Evans Met With Taliban; Code Pink Gives Terrorists Direct Line to O

He must pay them well, as they travel the world meeting with every tin horn dictator and terrorist thug.
Rest assured, they are not only montoring...they are recording EVERY post, every IP address...and then reconciling the IP address to the physical street address and NAMES.
I believe they also POST, and often.
This is Ground Zero in the war for the hearts and minds of the "opposition".
Is this the same Jodie Foster who rushed the stage at the RNC Convention lastyear? You know, back before people became "uncivil?"
Suppose a million or so Facebook friends would be considered viral? I think Sarah's opposition here is interesting.
Completely agree! One of them was just banned this past week. He did well, but if challenged he just couldn't keep up. LOL!
I'm sure the women of Afghanistan wants the US out of their country so that the Taliban can retake control and start murdering them again.
He'll be back I'm sure.
Well, hopefully this (old) story and pic won't make your skin crawl:
Veteran Has No Regrets For Spitting On Jane Fonda
Thursday, April 21, 2005 11:20am EDT
From NBC17: A man who had waited in line at a book-signing in Kansas City for Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda spit tobacco juice in her face Tuesday night.
Fonda, getting the tobacco spit wiped off...
The suspect, Vietnam veteran Michael A. Smith, 54, Smith said that his actions were planned and he has no regrets. He said he's a Vietnam veteran still angry at Fonda for her trip to Hanoi in 1972.
"She's a traitor, and she cost the lives of a lot of good men," Smith, who was 19 when he was sent to fight in Vietnam, told KMBC-TV in Kansas City. "She didn't do anything to the government -- she slapped us in the face."
Thank you, kristinn. This is so very frightening.
I've always heard that Jane Fonda was never charged or faced any consequence because her father, Henry Fonda, was a loyal, financially supporting, Republican.
Does anyne know if here is any truth to that rumor?
LOL! We had such fun with her until the cops made us take her down. tgslTakoma drove through DC with her hanging off the back of her SUV. People were taking pictures, laughing and honking. Awwwww, the good old days.
And what will we do about it ?????
Just curious, for those in the know: is there ANY chance that there is some work going on under the leadership of true Patriots, something we won't see for some time... perhaps some in the right place/position to change things?
Imagination may be required to get my drift.
I miss Sen. Joe McCarthy!!!;)
Nothing to see here, move along.
He will come back to the US and say, "hey look, if I can do that to all those world leaders, you do it for ME":
Ditto! Was he truly the last great patriot?
Ok, maybe our POTUS is just an ordinary traitor
Yes he is ...obviously..BUT ...Will ANYONE tomorrow morning call a press conference with this information and call him out on this ? NO ! Will any conservative organization take out a full page ad and expose this to the morons that populate this country ..NO!
Every friggin day the story gets worse with this Marxist SOB.The left has been planning this for 25 years and finally SOROS and crew founfd the right empty suit for foster the Marxist Revolution in the USA.. This IS IT FOLKS..The enemy is in the friggin White House ..for real damn it ..And no one has the guts to do anything about it ..
PLEASE dont tell me about elections in Nov 2010 and even more absurd how Palin will save us in 2012 ..You're not going to see 2012 folks. This revolution is in full stride RIGHT NOW and in less than a year this bastard has turned this country inside out.
2012 HAHAHA Half of us on her ewill be in re education camps by 2012 never mind vote.
I seriously don't think most people get whats going oon or what has already happened.
If we remain motionless and just chat about then I suppose we deserve to be conquered and be slaves to the New Worl Order...Good for us and, shame on us.
so when do the prosecutions and hangins happen ???
Oooo yea ..we talk and post negative things about Obama ..That will really change things..They must laugh at our big talk and no action.
Obama has nothing to worry about so far, he's gotten away with every single important thing he want to plan , al according to plan . Cap and Trade , Immigration and The Fairness Doctrine will be next and will be passed as well.
Obama is a stooge and a lackey for Soros.
Doubt it , most are too busy with football and Dancing With the Stars to really understand that someone has taken over the USA and wiped their butts with the Constitution.
Recent statements by military leaders concerning Ft Hood leaves me little hope that leadership will come from those quarters either.
Oh, well, I keep on hoping... and hoping... fast turn-arounds need to have the support of certain groups!
Very true and obviously correct. Many people aided the enemy during Nam and suffered no consequences over it.
At least many Americans will never forget or forgive her.
Thank you so much Kristinn for all the work on this.
It's up to us , individuals , to help organize. There are 100 conservative web sites and groupes. If we all took say 20 each and emailed them . Thry to convince them to all work together in concert , we could really have power then . We need leaders , organizers and funding as well as getting a Rush or Levin to call for strikes and civil disorder. We need to turn the place upside down and put fear in the hearts in those corrupt bastards who run this country.
"Its up to us , individuals.... We need leaders... strikes and civil disorder... We need to turn the place upside down and put fear in the hearts in those corrupt bastards who run this country."
I cannot negate the truth behind those statements.
The thing is that I lived in a place where strikes and civil disorder was common, problem was, the folks with the hardware were not behind them, so.... I am here now, and is like a bad dream that keeps on playing back!
That 'place' is still a cesspool of corruption, like it was decades ago: the elite won.
I'd read once that he was a Democrat, but a patriotic one, the kind we used to have a lot of! He and Jimmy Stewart were really good friends, and J.S. was a Repub., they got along famously!
You're kidding, right?
Ain't going to happen. The media will pass on it and anybody that demands explanation are right wing extremists.
THANK you for everything you are doing, Kristinn. These 'women' in Code Pink MET with the Taliban, and then had the nerve to meet with women in Afghanistan and take pictures and say how much better their lives were now?
EVIL - these people are pure, unadulterated EVIL!
Lord help me, because I don't think I can forgive any of these monsters. I will try, and I will pray, but their actions (all of them — all the damn commies, fascists, tyrants and terrorists in this world) don't DESERVE forgiveness — they deserve to be hung by their heels like Il Duce!!!!
Would be about time that BECK LIMBAUGH COULTER...or maybe S.PALIN...launch the Hot Stuff on obaMAO !
Now if they only took what you say serious.
Sad, we know what they are doing, and the media excuses it.
There was a time when the intel community considered the Armand Hammer World College to basically be the western campus of Patrice Lumumba University (the KGB's COMINTERN university in Moscow). They bring kids from all over the world and indoctrinate them in Socialist theory and then send them home to sow revolution. Now.... who knows?
This White House? Less likely to have met with the Taliban to negotiate their surrender or their cooperation in the area, and much more likely to have met with them to discuss how they can assist them in killing more Americans.
Obama Ally Code Pink Targets Children of Military Families for Psychological Abuse
A Name Americans Should Know Jodie Evans and the Obama- Hollywood-Terrorist Connection
He joined Hammer's Occidental Petroleum when it was one of the "Seven Sisters" - the cartel of western oil companies that controlled the oil price paid to oil rich countries.
Occidental Petroleum (Hammer & Gore) broke with the Seven Sisters and made a separate deal with Libya.
The Seven Sisters' control of oil prices collapsed as did America's cheap oil economy.
In short time the West got the OPEC cartel, oil embargoes, the weakening of western economies, the rise of Islamic wealth and its funding of radical Islamism.
Now, the Hammer family gets a museum and the Gore family gets richer by again sabotaging America's economy.
The funds are probably in off shore banks. I wonder if Geithner has a list of banks that are 'hands off'...
For the name "Jodie Evans" substitute "Barack Obama", and you'll realize how far we've fallen, which I'm sure you already know. They ALL enable EACH OTHER, here and abroad.

So would Parker or Wiggins be the consensus for the Bucks? Or Exum...or Smart?Hide replies
If the Cavs take Parker or Wiggins, the Bucks take the other. If they take Embiid, it gets interesting. Personally, I'd take Wiggins - I think his game will continue to grow. Parker is what he is...not that that isn't really good, and wouldn't be welcome on this team.
Maybe someone will move up for Embiid at 1...and the Bucks will have their pick of the wings?
That is my hope...or the Cavs just pick Embiid.
The NBA big man = dinosaur.
Embiid is a fine looking dinosaur. No TRex arms on him.
If only he had one of those fine T-Rex tails to go with them.
He'd get a lot of tripping calls on himself.
I think iiipm has the best idea, pick wiggins trade him to philly for their 2 1st rounders, a no brainer if philly will do it. I think the cavs take wiggins with the 1st pick. Bucks Embid.Hide replies
There are a couple of other teams with two first rounders that include a lottery pick.; there would have to be more than that to move up, as they are later picks.
I would look up Dante Exum - a 6'6" guard that's a cross between Russell Westbrook, Manu Ginobli and maybe Brandon Roy. He's potentially the guy that can bring the team together with his passing, ability to hand the ball and create high percentage shots for himself and others.
Wiggins doesn't pass the eye test if you watched him in a game (not just his amazing dunks), Parker is a great offense talent (at times) and plays no defense and is not athletic, and I am worried about Embiid's back.Hide replies
I'd rather have one of the other wing types, Exum has a Shaun Livingston/Michael Carter-Willliams body type right now.
Wiggins is bigger than he is...and has an entire yr of being torn to shreds by the "he's the next Lebron/Kobe/Big O!" media.
If Exum had played a yr of college ball, he'd have some of the same critiques about his game.
I think Wiggins/Parker are closer to being NBA ready by yr three than Exum. He's def. an intriguing prospect.
I watched quite a bit of Wiggins last yr...he suffered from poor PG play. He will be better in the open NBA game, IMO. Kansas wasn't a very good team, contrary to all the supposed NBA talent on the roster.
I would look at this before comparing Exum to Shaun Livington: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqCIAEczDug. At some point the ability becomes apparent, despite the competition.
Exum played well a year ago vs US prospects in the US vs World game.
Wiggins cans could be the next Dominique Wilkins or maybe as the next Gerald Green. It's not totally clear. He had that string of big games at the end of the year before that a lot of the critiques on him being passive were pretty fair. He's not also not a natural creator or leader.
Great Post. Wiggins garners all the hype. In fact, he's still living off of hype when he was in high school. 6 pts in his last ncaa tournament game scares me as well as multiple games during the season where he shot below 30%. I watched him play several times including his 41 pt performance. Most of the points were lay ins or dunks. Watch the other games and Wiggins points mostly come from floaters or lay ins. He didn't make anyone on the team better as Wiggins had one of the lowest assist ratios in the NCAA. Whenever he go the ball, the offense lost its rhythm as he'd either shoot a 3 pointer or drive and throw up a floater. There isn't a mid range shot here folks. His basketball IQ is quite low as he has trouble with zones. Do you really think he'll be able to shoot floaters in the NBA? His bread and butter is defense.
I just can't stop feeling this is going to all go terribly wrong. I had made my peace with Exum at four, and now THIS! I have started to see an Oden and and a Darko behind every bush and lamp post. And you'll never guess where I saw OJ Mayo......
I've read and watched the videos...also was listening to various NBA gurus on the road this week. Various comments: they said he doesn't jump out of the gym, and he has the body/presence (the guy interviewed him recently) of a very young guy, in comparison to the other young guys he had interviewed that are entering the draft.
Exum is a skinny guy, man. Just like the rest of them.
I like his potential, to each his own. In the top two...I'd take the others.
There is NOTHING clear about ANY of the prospects in this draft. This ain't Hakeem, Bowie, Jordan, Perkins and Barkley we're talking about here...it's ALL potential.
I like Exum as much as the next guy. He is 6'6", 188, right? Maybe he bulked up to 196 for the combine...he has holes, like all the other young in's in this draft.
Should be fun...maybe we should all focus on the meat of the Bucks draft? Can they squeeze out good players at 31 and 36, instead of Mr. Gallon/Hobson? That may very well be the key to the draft for the franchise.
Regardless of who we pick, the net result is that they'll be a small contributor. We're still going to be in the basement for a few years while these kids develop into men. The storyline for next year will be how Giannis handles year two and cracks the starting lineup.
He's 18.
Apparently Exum came in at 196.3 at the combine and is 6'4.5" without shoes, and 6'6" in shoes. 6'9.5" wingspan (shot out to Jay Bilas). Vertical leap 34.5 inches (but it didn't prevent him from dunking and catching alley oops).
Dante Exum fared well in the strength and agility drills, ranking in the top 10 in lane agility, shuttle run and ¾-court sprint. His ¾-court sprint time (3.19 seconds) was faster than Chris Paul (3.22), Stephen Curry (3.28) and Damian Lillard (3.34) at the NBA draft combine.
(although you wouldn't really think of those guys as fast)
Exum also turns 19 in July, and has a lot of good international experience already.
I think the cavs go wiggins, Bucks Embid, and they finaly traade Ersan.Hide replies
I think the cavs and 6ers trade the 76ers the draft wiggins,the bucks parker and the cavs at 3 embiid
This is just like I been saying all along. The NBA knew long ago that Cleveland was going to get this pick. They had to have it to make up for not getting anybody good with the pick they got to make up for losing out on 'bron. How can anybody get excited about the NBA when they know that a small market team is going to get screwed every damn time? The big market teams got the money and the money gonna win every time. You could a seen this coming when they stopped getting the calls in February in order to make sure that they ended up in the lottery. Happens every damn time!Hide replies
you should stop skipping english class
I think you can attribute his typed "dialect" to his hero, who also skipped English classes.
I don't think it's a stretch that the Bucks will get either Embiid, Wiggins or Parker.
Wonder if any or all of threm will reject the interest from the Bucks?Hide replies
Cleveland isn't exactly Vegas...Philly has a roster about the age of the Brady Bunch (toward the end of the run).
Not many vacation destinations at the top this yr...
They will get a good player, maybe they hit the jackpot on the star of this draft? Bucks fans deserve some hope...
What the heck, they play in the winter when they are on the road more than half the time travelling to every major city. In the summer they can live/vacation anywhere in the world with the money they make. They can have preheated limos drive them from the five star hotel to the state of the art arena for games.
What difference does it make what team they play for so long as there is a chance at a championship? They are NBA players, they can get all the (whatever) they want. If the new guys can really get it turned back around, Milwaukee will be as likely a destination as Indiana for sure.
Just win.
I think John Hammonds pulls a trade. He has to. The rumors are that he has this draft to prove himself or he's out of a job come next year, with new ownership. Philly and Magic each have 2 picks. #4 and #12 for Magic - #3 and #10 for Philly.
See if we can trade down into top 5 and land an extra pick or player that can be a serviceable starter.Hide replies
I hope Hammonds doesn't do anything in this draft.
Cause I hope he'll be at home.
I can't see him making any crazy trades in the top two, under the microscope of the new bazillionaire owners. He won't have much power, if he's still around.
Do you think he lasts?
I demand the source that states such about Hammons status.
Otherwise, find somewhere else to sound "hip">
Christ, there coming out of the woodwork now.
It's tough to say. He's drafted quite well. For every spot he's drafted at, he's picked a player that has performed better than where they were drafted, minus Joe Alexander.
Herb Kohl was the one who made him trade away players to make playoff runs. It's difficult to say what the owners will do. They probably don't know much about basketball. The question is.... do they know how to identify talent in the GM position? Or.... will they be overzealous and make GM moves themselves? Herb Kohl stepped in too many times. We'll see what these two guys do. Clearly, they saw an opportunity to flash their daughter to get her into the spotlight. I'm sure that move will net the family a few hundred grand.
The Bucks will nab Wiggins and start the skinniest team in league history with the likes of Wiggins, Henson, Giannis, SandersHide replies
Wiggins/Embiid/Exum...not a cheeseburger of fat on any of them.
And then you roll O.J. Mayo at them and they all fall like bowling pins. Have another cheeseburger Mayo !!! I'd pay to see a snapshot of him eating at McDonald's.
LOL...Mayo tips the scale!
He is the Anchorman!
The only team able to play in the rain. They'd run between the rain drops.
Cavs fans seem set on Wiggins.

– Introduction to GPU Password Cracking: Owning the LinkedIn Password Dump:
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months you have probably heard about the dump from the 2012 LinkedIn hack being released. TrustedSec was able to acquire a copy of the list and use it for research purposes. Our friends over at Korelogic have already posted an excellent analysis of the list showing the most common words, patterns, and other statistics so we are not going to rehash that information. The LinkedIn list offers an opportunity for us at TrustedSec to share our password recovery methodology step by step and show how we attack large password breach lists. The passwords gained from these types of breaches are very valuable to us on penetration tests because people often reuse passwords across work and social media. Our hope is that by now everyone on this list has reset their password and is no longer using the password they used for LinkedIn in 2012, however since we cannot be sure, we have no plans to share the list so please don't ask.
The list we received contained 167,370,909 entries in a SHA1 unsalted hash format. The list contains a large number of duplicate hashes which is valuable for statistical analysis but we don't need that to go over cracking methodology. After removing all of the duplicates and blank lines we were left with 117,205,871 unique hashes to crack.

– The EU Wants to Impose a Tax for Sharing Links on the Internet:
No wonder the people of Great Britain are itching to rid themselves of this miserable, idiotic union.
TechDirt reports:
We've written plenty of times about ridiculous European plans to create a so-called "snippet tax" which is more officially referred to as "ancillary rights" (and is really just about creating a tax on Google). The basic concept is that some old school newspapers are so lazy and have so failed to adapt to the internet — and so want to blame Google for their own failures — that they want to tax any aggregator (e.g., Google) that links to their works with a snippet, that doesn't pay for the privilege of sending those publishers traffic. As you may remember, Germany has been pushing for such a thing for many, many years, and Austria has been exploring it as well. But perhaps the most attention grabbing move was the one in Spain, which not only included a snippet tax, but made it mandatory. That is, even if you wanted Google News to link to you for free, you couldn't get that. In response, Google took the nuclear option and shut down Google News in Spain. A study showed that this law has actually done much to harm Spanish publishers, but the EU pushes on, ridiculously.

– UN Plots War on Free Speech to Stop "Extremism" Online:
The United Nations Security Council wants a global "framework" for censoring the Internet, as well as for using government propaganda to "counter" what its apparatchiks call "online propaganda," "hateful ideologies," and "digital terrorism." To that end, the UN Security Council this week ordered the UN "Counter-Terrorism Committee" — yes, that is a real bureaucracy — to draw up a plan by next year. From the Obama administration to the brutal Communist Chinese regime, everybody agreed that it was time for a UN-led crackdown on freedom of speech and thought online — all under the guise of fighting the transparently bogus terror war.
The UN, ridiculed by American critics as the "dictators club," will reportedly be partnering with some of the world's largest Internet and technology companies in the plot. Among the firms involved in the scheme is Microsoft, which, in a speech before the Security Council on May 11, called for "public-private partnerships" between Big Business and Big Government to battle online propaganda. As this magazine has documented, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and other top tech giants have all publicly embraced the UN and its agenda for humanity. Many of the more than 70 speakers also said it was past time to censor the Internet, with help from the "private sector." Continue reading »

READ FULL DESCRIPTION: As many of you may have suspected, Israel is paying and training internet bloggers to delete, rewrite, and revise internet content to shape public opinion to Israel's benefit. Video of the Israeli-sponsored training programs have been leaked to the web (like the video here).
Additionally, investigative reporters that infiltrated these groups have reported that Israelis are being trained to spread disinformation and to try to create conflicts among different religious, racial, and ethnic groups if it would benefit Israel. Some of the seminars also encouraged the workers to spread disinformation on the internet and to attempt to recruit free (unpaid) labor. For example, many of these bloggers have been trained to attempt to make friends with you by pretending that they share an interest in your favorite sports team or movie, or that they went to the same school, but they will ultimately try to recruit you to attack other groups or individuals that Israel thinks is against its national interests (e.g., 'Muslims,' 'Russians,' 'Germans,' 'Latinos,' 'United Nations representatives' and 'human rights groups'). Others have been trained to personally attack, stalk, and harass anyone personally that does not agree with Israel. Not only is this type of behavior a terrible injustice to the accuracy of content (it's actually state-sponsored propaganda), it is also damaging to the public trust because people are being misguided into working as unpaid servants of a government through false pretenses. People really should speak out about this.

– Here's Why You Shouldn't Use Facebook's Reactions Buttons:
Belgian police are warning users not to use the Facebook Reactions feature to respond to posts if they want to protect their privacy. In February, the series of six emoticons, allowing users to express a range of emotions from anger to love, were added to the original thumbs-up option. They came in response to calls for a 'Dislike' button.
However, the new expressions are another big 'like' for Facebook and a 'dislike' for its users — according to Belgian police who claim the site is using them as a way to collect information on people to target advertising toward them. In a statement released on their official website on Wednesday, the Belgian force warned people to avoid using the series of emoticons if they want to preserve their privacy. Continue reading »

As Liberty Blitzkrieg's Mike Krieger explained last year when fears began to rise over increasing control of news flow… Facebook is a private company and has every right to do as it pleases with its platform, even if that means pushing a political agenda via its "news" feed. That said, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been explicit with his intention to dominate news dissemination to his users. For example, we learned the following in last year's post, Facebook Reveals its Master Plan – Control All News Flow: Continue reading »

– Is online free speech under attack?:
Regulators in Washington are showing increasing interest in tightening rules on political speech on the web, arguing that the dissonant voices enabled by "new media" have become too influential. If that effort is successful, experts wonder whether it could impact more traditional media as well, especially in how it relates to conservatives.
"The best example we can give is going back a few years to when the [Federal Communications Commission] was looking at trying to silence talk radio, which was obviously a realm of conservatism," said Drew Johnson, executive director of the nonprofit group "Protect Internet Freedom."
He was referring to the agency's "Fairness Doctrine," which required broadcasters to grant equal time to opposing political candidates.
Democrats on the Federal Election Commission demonstrated a similar regulatory ambition in February, when they voted unsuccessfully to apply campaign finance laws, which are traditionally intended to govern paid political advertisements, to unpaid political accounts on Twitter. Continue reading »

The assault we face is driven by the exceptional appetites of a wholly new genus of capitalism: surveillance capitalism.
– The Secrets of Surveillance Capitalism:
Governmental control is nothing compared to what Google is up to. The company is creating a wholly new genus of capitalism, a systemic coherent new logic of accumulation we should call surveillance capitalism. Is there nothing we can do?surveillance capitalism
Google surpassed Apple as the world's most highly valued company in January for the first time since 2010. (Back then each company was worth less than 200 billion. Now each is valued at well over 500 billion.) While Google's new lead lasted only a few days, the company's success has implications for everyone who lives within the reach of the Internet. Why? Because Google is ground zero for a wholly new subspecies of capitalism in which profits derive from the unilateral surveillance and modification of human behavior. This is a new surveillance capitalism that is unimaginable outside the inscrutable high velocity circuits of Google's digital universe, whose signature feature is the Internet and its successors. While the world is riveted by the showdown between Apple and the FBI, the real truth is that the surveillance capabilities being developed by surveillance capitalists are the envy of every state security agency. What are the secrets of this new capitalism, how do they produce such staggering wealth, and how can we protect ourselves from its invasive power?
"Most Americans realize that there are two groups of people who are monitored regularly as they move about the country. The first group is monitored involuntarily by a court order requiring that a tracking device be attached to their ankle. The second group includes everyone else…" Continue reading »

(MiddleEastEye) Twitter suspended over 125,000 accounts, most of them linked to the Islamic State (IS) group, as part of a stepped-up effort to eradicate "terrorist content" on the popular messaging platform, it said on Friday.
The accounts frozen since mid-2015 were targeted "for threatening or promoting terrorist acts," said Twitter, which is under pressure from governments to act but faces a delicate balancing act and is keen not to be seen as censoring free speech.

– 5 Shocking Facts About You That Anyone Can Find Online:
If you're an American citizen, then the government has a personal file on you. Think of it like your permanent record from your grade school days. These records contain highly sensitive personal information about you such as where you live, your contact info, your relatives and associates, arrest records, and even speeding tickets. But what many people don't know, is that this information is all considered "public record,"—and anyone can access it.
Now, a controversial new site is taking things a step further by gathering these records together and posting them online, so anyone with a computer and Internet access can see them. Continue reading »

– A Global Martial Force Is Being Assembled- Facebook to Provide Intel On American Citizens:
Earlier today, I published a report which detailed the threat posed to Facebook users. Reportedly, Facebook is releasing private information to the Chinese military. This is to aid the Chinese military when they are called in by the UN to restore order inside the United as civil unrest is tearing apart the country in an economic collapse scenario. I have also covered how Facebook data is mined by the NSA and is being used to compile an enemies of the state list, we frequently refer to as the "Red List".
Below is an astute Info Wars report on the creation of a world-wide martial law force. There is no question that Infowars and The Common Sense Show are speaking about the same programs with the same objectives. Continue reading »

– The US Government Has an Internet Killswitch — and It's None of Your Business:
On Monday the Supreme Court declined to hear a petition from the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) that sought to force the Department of Homeland Security to release details of a secret "killswitch" protocol to shut down cellphone and internet service during emergencies.
EPIC has been fighting since 2011 to release the details of the program, which is known as Standard Operating Procedure 303. EPIC writes, "On March 9, 2006, the National Communications System ('NCS') approved SOP 303, however it was never released to the public. This secret document codifies a 'shutdown and restoration process for use by commercial and private wireless networks during national crisis.'" Continue reading »

– 15 News Stories from 2015 You Should Have Heard About But Probably Didn't:
In 2015, the iron fist of power clamped down on humanity, from warfare to terrorism (I repeat myself) to surveillance, police brutality, and corporate hegemony. The environment was repeatedly decimated, the health of citizens was constantly put at risk, and the justice system and media alike were perverted to serve the interests of the powers that be.
However, while 2015 was discouraging for more reasons than most of us can count, many of the year's most underreported stories evidence not only a widespread pattern that explicitly reveals the nature of power, but pushback from human beings worldwide on a path toward a better world.
1. CISA Pushed Through the Senate, Effectively Clamping Down on Internet Freedom: For years, Congress has attempted to legalize corporate and state control of the internet. In 2011, they attempted to pass PIPA and SOPA, companion bills slammed by internet and tech companies and ultimately defeated after overwhelming public outcry. Then they passed CISPA — which the president threatened to veto, having caught wind of the public's opposition to heavy regulation of the internet (earlier this year, Obama reversed his position). However, corporate interests, like Hollywood's studio monopoly, kept lawmakers' tenacity afloat. Continue reading »

– CISA: "Just Another Example Of Corruption":
Last week, Congress passed CISA by hiding it in the middle of a sure-to-pass spending bill, and Obama signed it into law … even though the Department of Homeland Security had previously said that the bill will HURT national security and destroy privacy (numerous experts agreed).
And – just like with previous spying laws – the government has a secret interpretation of CISA which will make it even worse.
So why was the bill passed? Continue reading »

– CISA Is Now The Law: How Congress Quietly Passed The Second Patriot Act:
Update: CISA is now the law: OBAMA SIGNS SPENDING, TAX BILL THAT REPEALS OIL EXPORT BAN
* * *
Back in 2014, civil liberties and privacy advocates were up in arms when the government tried to quietly push through the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, or CISA, a law which would allow federal agencies – including the NSA – to share cybersecurity, and really any information with private corporations "notwithstanding any other provision of law." The most vocal complaint involved CISA's information-sharing channel, which was ostensibly created for responding quickly to hacks and breaches, and which provided a loophole in privacy laws that enabled intelligence and law enforcement surveillance without a warrant.
Ironically, in its earlier version, CISA had drawn the opposition of tech firms including Apple, Twitter, Reddit, as well as the Business Software Alliance, the Computer and Communications Industry Association and many others including countless politicians and, most amusingly, the White House itself.

– CISA Surveillance Bill Will "Transform Websites into Government Spies":
The controversial Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) may be added as a provision in the looming government budget bill.
(TRUTHINMEDIA) The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) was officially approved by the Senate back in October. Since that time, the bill has languished in committee as lawmakers sought to align the Senate bill with the versions passed by the House of Representatives in April.
CISA is designed to allow private companies to easily share threat intelligence with government agencies. Sharing of intelligence is supposed to be voluntary. Critics of the bill say the provisions will only increase the indiscriminate monitoring of legal activity by giving companies immunity from lawsuits for sharing information with the government.

– Pentagon gets green light for WAR … of web propaganda against IS:
The Pentagon has been given formal approval to start an online propaganda campaign against the Islamic State following a recent push by the US Department of Defense (DoD).
Congress approved the National Defense Authorization Act for 2016 last week and included in it a whole section (1056) on "Information operations and engagement technology demonstrations."
The section states that the Secretary of Defense "should develop creative and agile concepts, technologies, and strategies across all available media to most effectively reach target audiences, and to counter and degrade the ability of adversaries and potential adversaries to persuade, inspire, and recruit inside areas of hostilities or in other areas in direct support of the objectives of commanders."

– Obama Blames Social Media As Russian PM Blasts "Irresponsible US Policy" For Strengthening ISIS:
"The Islamic State has grown that strong due to the irresponsible policy of the United States," exclaimed Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev this morning, demanding that "really consolidated efforts" are needed to counter ISIS' terrorist threats. This comes just hours after President Obama toughened his rhetoric, vowing that the global coalition formed to destroy ISIS "will not relent," adding, rather oddly, that the group responsible for the Paris terror attacks is "a bunch of killers with good social media."
Obama toughens up…
Obama was hit with a wave of criticism in the wake of the terrorists' attacks in France and Lebanon, which left hundreds dead, having described that burst of violence as a "setback" in the battle against ISIS. So now, as CNN reports, U.S. President Barack Obama toughened his rhetoric against ISIS at a weekend press conference in Malaysia… Continue reading »

Police are to be given the power to view everyone's entire internet history in a new surveillance bill to be published next week, according to reports.

Authorities such as the police, intelligence services and the National Crime Agency would be able to access specific web addresses people had visited, but would need approval from a judge to view the content of websites, emails and social media messages. Continue reading »

– Facebook Caught Secretly Lobbying for Privacy Destroying "Cyber Security" Bill:
There's a privacy destroying bill moving through Congress called the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, or CISA, and it's imperative that the American public stop it in its tracks. Here are a few bullet points on the bill from Fight for the Future:
- All privacy policies effectively null and void. Companies can share any private user data with the government, without a warrant, as long as the government says it is being used for a "cybersecurity" purpose.
- In exchange, companies are given blanket immunity from civil and criminal laws, like fraud, money laundering, or illegal wiretapping (if a violation was committed or exposed in the process of sharing data).
- Data is shared with a wide array of government agencies, from the FBI and NSA, to the IRS and local law enforcement. Many of these agencies have been breached within the last year and have outdated security systems, opening up the doors to even more cyber attacks.
- Companies that play along can get otherwise classified intelligence data from the government, including private information about their competitors.
While the Constitution protects Americans from the federal government, private companies don't care about your 4th Amendment rights, particularly if you waive them in a "terms of service" agreement. CISA would essentially allow the U.S. government to violate the U.S. Constitution by coercing companies to provide them with data on American citizens it would not otherwise be allowed to collect on its own.
Naturally, Washington D.C. is salivating over the prospect of such a bill. As the Hill notes: Continue reading »

– David Cameron Attacks Twitter Users, Following in the Footsteps of the Saudi Religious Police Chief:
You know things are not well in the world when you hear claims that the Prime Minister of Great Britain had sex with a dead pig's head and you barely flinch. That's because sexual relations with farm animal carcasses simply pales in comparison to the man's disastrous, authoritarian political positions.
In his latest act of verbal diarrhea, David Cameron has gone on the offensive…against Twitter. Little did he know it, but he's actually quite late in his perceived "insight" into those who use the social media platform. For instance, it was over two years ago when Saudi authorities made their position quite clear.

thanks to all answers, but no solution yet.
I'm thinking that the IntelHDGraphics driver must be affecting voodooHDA in Maverics because, installing ML 10.8.5 audio works perfectly but not IntelHdGraphics (QE/CI dont work). With Maverics the reverse happens. Fully functional video with QE/CI, but audio does not work.
the question is why ???
Posted 13 April 2014 - 08:36 AM
Confirmed. I changed my vanilla installation by Niresh 10.9 and audio works perfectly before installing kexts intelHDGraphics. After, no audio. Is confirmed for me that intelHDGraphics driver interferes with voodooHDA.
Thanks for all answers!
Posted 09 December 2014 - 10:47 PM
Right after startup sound works, but only for ~3 seconds, then it dies. Changing the audiodevice in system settings solves the problem for the next 3 seconds, same as changing midi settings.
Another interesting thing: the lower the midi sample rate, the longer the sound works. I've tried various versions of voodoohda, if the sound devices appear in system settings the result is allways the same

My grandfather used to tell me a story of a horse being ridden by his master who begins to ride into a dark tunnel when the horse stops and refuses to go into the pitch black tunnel. The master takes out his handkerchief, blindfolds the horse and they ride into the tunnel when suddenly the master sees a huge hole. Going at such a fast speed the master knew it was impossible to stop the horse. Thinking quickly, the master jumped off just in time to safety. Meanwhile, the horse fell to his death to the bottom of the hole. Whose fault is it that the horse died?
Without the basic knowledge of how to control our finances, without being equipped or supplied with an ability to think for ourselves, we are no better off than that horse being led into a dark tunnel blindfolded.
Consider too that the estimated loss to the company retirement plans belonging to Enron employees was $1.2 billion. If Enron employees had received proper financial literacy education, they would have known about diversification and would have appropriately limited the amount of company stock held within their company retirement plans. Many employees had as high as 80-90% of their retirement portfolio invested in Enron stock. With defined contribution plans becoming more of the norm (as opposed to defined benefit plans); employees are now burdened with the responsibility of planning for their own retirement.
If any one stock comprises over 25% of your total holdings in your company portfolio I would like to outline a few solutions for you. These are listed below:
1. A Partial or Complete Sale of the Position:
a. The Outright Sale : The simplest solution of all is to sell some of all of your position of the company stock. However you need to be mindful of the capital gains tax liability that is associated with this solution.
b. The Installment Sale : This sale will result in income tax consequences during the executive's lifetime. One should also consult a qualified estate planner who will be able to inform them of the potentially disadvantageous estate tax consequences should the executive pass away during the term of the installment contract. These consequences can be eliminated by executing a self-canceling installment note (SCIN); however, the implementation of the (SCIN) will result in additional income tax liability results to the executive's estate which should also be discussed with a qualified estate planner.
c. Private Annuity: One can enter into a private annuity with a family member or a trusted individual. The obligor of the annuity must be trusted to be able to make good on the annuity payments that are due to the annuitant as this contract may not be collateralized with the underlying employer stock.
2. A Partial or Complete Gift of the Position
Gifts are excluded from the definition of gross income so this does avoid the income tax consequences associated with a sale of company stock. In executing this, one must consult the assistance of a tax advisor as gifting stock to others may result in the imposition of state taxes as well as federal taxes.
3. Hedging the Position with Options
In the case of Enron, one could have purchased put options which allow the employee to take an offsetting short position to the established long position generated by owning the company stock.
4. Using Variable Prepaid Forward Contracts
Within this option, one agrees to sell a variable number of shares at some point in the future in return for receiving an upfront cash advance. The employee can use this capital to reposition these funds to work in a more diversified portfolio. Under this solution taxes are deferred until the contract's expiration. Upon expiration the employee will be obligated to pay capital gains taxes on the difference between the proceeds from the cash advance and his or her cost basis in the employer shares.
5. Using a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT)
If one establishes a CRT and assets are transferred to its trustee, an income tax deduction is given that may be used to offset current taxable income. A qualified estate planner should be consulted before using this option.
6. Using an Exchange Fund
Many companies offer exchange funds that may be used in the management of a concentrated portfolio. If you are an employee you will be able to contribute the shares of your publicly traded stock to the fund. The employee will receive a percentage income interest from the overall fund. The fund is tax free for income purposes and the fund owns numerous securities other than the company stock so the employee now receives interest from a diversified fund. Be mindful of the lack of liquidity as investors may be required to be invested for 7 years to avoid incurring an income tax liability. Furthermore, federal income tax law mandates that 20% of the asset in the fund be invested in illiquid assets such as real estate.
In 1986 there was a study conducted in the Financial Analyst Journal by Gary P. Brinson, L. Rudolph Hood, and Gilbert L. Beebower, otherwise known as the (first) "Brinson Study". After analyzing over 90 corporate portfolios for almost 10 years, they concluded that over 93% of variation in the actual portfolio ending performance could be traced to asset allocation. A separate study by the same organization was conducted in 1991 which supported the original findings proving that asset allocation was the single most important factor in determining actual portfolio performance over an extended period of time. In short, asset allocation and its impact on establishing an efficient, well-diversified portfolio should not be taken lightly. Enron did not have to happen. We must make sure that we are doing the right things and taking the proper measures to make sure it does not happen again within our company retirement plans.

Cancer is called recurrent when it come backs after treatment. Recurrence can be local (in or near the same place it started) or distant (spread to organs such as the lungs or bone). Treatment options for patients whose laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancers come back after treatment depend mainly on what the initial treatment was and on where the cancer recurs.
Local recurrences in people who have already had limited surgery such as partial laryngectomy can often be treated with more extensive surgery (such as total laryngectomy) or with radiation therapy. If cancer comes back locally after radiation therapy, the usual treatment is total laryngectomy, but additional radiation therapy is sometimes used. Radiation in these cases is generally delivered by external beam. However, a special way of giving external beam radiation called stereotactic radiosurgery is also being studied. This approach gives high doses of radiation over just a few sessions (instead of weeks). Not all facilities have the expertise to be able to deliver stereotactic radiosurgery.
For distant recurrences and for local recurrences that have not responded to radiation therapy and surgery, the main treatment is chemotherapy and/or targeted therapy, sometimes along with radiation, if a person can tolerate it. Because these cancers are often hard to treat, patients may want to consider taking part in clinical trials of newer treatments as well.
