Beach Nourishment project in CB
Mar 18, 2013, 01:36 PM #2
I can only advise you to get involved. Surfers are stakeholders, and locals are taxpayers. The effects of beach replenishment on surfing vary from location to location. Sometimes it improves breaks... sometimes it destroys breaks. But one thing is sure... once it begins, it's very difficult to stop.
Rockaway beach is getting ready to start also. the city is taking bids... typically I'd be against pumping more sand on the beach but the reality, from having a home here, it has to be done. Sandy certainly rearranged the sandbars here and I think they are better. they are definitely out a lot further then before... which I think will help them be less affected from the dredging process. but no matter what.... I don't wan to have a swimming pool in my basement again....

For some reason the link won't work, even on a Google search, but I have done numerous research papers on this topic and am doing my senior thesis on it as well. Re-nourishment sucks, it's a "quick-fix" and certainly costs too much money for what it does provide. Honestly, if the Army Core really cared, an effective, permanent solution would have already been found.
My idea is bringing ASR limited over here from NZ and get them to solve our problems. An artificial reef provides wave energy dissipation, a new habitat that could increase biodiversity, and it is permanent! Not to mention, it bring a reef break to our coasts. Swimmers could stay close to shore and surfers out way past the breakers, therefore no surf zones!
Say no to this BS. Obviously if we pump sand once at a hefty price tag of $5-20 million and then have to do it a few years later....something is wrong. Fight against re-nourishment and ask for a new solution.
MFitz: I understand where you are coming from with Sandy and all and sand pumping seems to be just the first step for you guys but down here it is totally different. We just want more beach for tourist dollars.

I got a place at the North End of CB. Got the place two years ago and have been surfing for two years pretty much exclusively between Periwinkle and the pier. I talked to a couple local surfers about the replenishment and it does change the break for a while. One guy said the sand is almost half way out the pier at low tide after the re-nourishment. They do it every three years. It changes the break obviously, but I don't know how much. I've seen it change a lot in the two years I've surfed there. I actually want some sand on the beach. At high tide there is none and all the stair accesses are snapped off. They won't repair them until the sand is back.

Superbust does have a point. a permanent solution of an artificial reef would be great. Part of the problem with the north end of the island is the canal. It has to be dredged every three years so the boats can get in and out. I was assuming they would use that sand but I'm no engineer. Probably the sand they dredge out of the canal is the sand that was used for replenishing three years ago. Tourists like sand. Hell I like sand too.
Mar 18, 2013, 03:34 PM #9
anyone else notice a little less punch to CB surf (Tiki Bar area in particular) in the last year or so? a little more prone to mushiness, even at lower tides? maybe the additional sand will help*

Nothing is permanent. Especially on eroding barrier islands.
Nothing against reefs, but if we've built our houses and roads right on the edge of eroding beaches, its going to take a lot more than putting a few hundred feet of rocks or geotextile bags in the ocean.

Ottawa lost a tough one against the Bruins tonight but they at least made it interesting in the end with a belated comeback that fell short when Phil Kessel scored his second goal of the game into an empty net.
For most of the game, the Bruins were in perfect neutral zone trapping form, squeezing the speed out of the game and scoring on the limited opportunities they got. That's a characteristic of Claude Julien (and Craig Ramsey) coached teams and it was enough to beat a Senators squad playing the 2nd game of a back-to-back.
What's clear is that this team misses Filip Kuba and Jason Smith. The likes of Christoph Schubert, Brendan Bell and Brian Lee were pretty bad defensively tonight and Chris Campoli wasn't that hot either. A player like Jason Smith can be a nasty sonofabitch in his own end and against a big team like Boston, that can be even more helpful than a guy who can move the puck quickly. Byron Bitz looked like the Incredible Hulk out there, plowing through Senators defenseman like they extras on a bad movie set.
If Boston can get past their streak of poor play, they are going to be a nightmare to play against simply for their combination of size and skill. Players like Bitz, Milan Lucic, Blake Wheeler and Zdeno Chara will soften you up while Marc Savard, Phil Kessel, David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron will cauterize you with speed and playmaking.
Ryan Shannon (who had another great game and is quickly becoming a favourite of mine) is probably lucky to get out of that game with his head still attached to his shoulders. Chara probably eats bigger filet mignons than the size of Shannon.
Ever since the Senators acquired Chris Campoli, it's been bothering me that I can't recall who he reminds me of. Then it hit me tonight. Karel Rachunek. Seriously. With that helmet, visor and scraggly moustache, Campoli is a spitting image of the ex-Senator defenseman.
I don't like the decision to make Shean Donovan a healthy scratch. Peter Regin should have come out of the lineup before Donovan because the Senators could have used Donovan's speed, feistiness and ability to crash the net against the neutral zone trapping Bruins. Donovan withstood getting his nose getting crushed twice in one game to come back and play and then he gets told to sit down so a rookie can stay in the lineup? .......Chris Neil showed right away why the Senators need him on their roster next season. He's the only guy on the team capable of going up against a much larger opponent like the 6 foot 3, 228 pound beast Milan Lucic. And I'd give the fight to Neiler. It's strange how a player like Lucic can be so popular in Boston but the public in Ottawa is decidedly lukewarm about Neil. I'll never understand it.......
Have you ever seen a player spit more than Dany Heatley? He spits as often as Wade Redden used to blink before faceoffs. Regardless, Heatley played a great game tonight...... Is there room in Toronto for two gigantic ego's like Ron Wilson and Brian Burke? I doubt it. Wilson has been upstaging Burke so far this year and I don't think the big Irishman is going to take that lightly. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see a coaching change in Toronto this summer. Wilson is a bad fit in Toronto because he's overly combatitive with the media and already the two sides are more than sick of each other. Witness this debacle from two nights ago when Wilson teed off on the mild mannered reporter Howard Berger who has been covering the Leafs since at least the early 90's. While it's not quite John Tortorella telling Larry Brooks to "f#!k off!", it's still pretty good.

Economists React: 'Best Looking Contraction' in GDP
Economists and others weigh in on the GDP report showing a 0.1% contraction to overall growth.
–We advise fading the headline number given distortions in the data. Growth was dragged down by a sharp contraction in government defense spending and inventory accumulation, which combined subtracted 2.6 percentage point from growth. Outside of these two very volatile components, underlying growth improved with a solid gain in business investment. We believe today's report suggests upside risk to our forecast of 1.0% for Q1 GDP. … The economy is not exactly robust, but it is certainly not contracting as today's data would otherwise suggest. --Michelle Meyer, Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research
– Frankly, this is the best looking contraction in GDP you'll ever see. Stripping out defense and inventories, GDP growth accelerated to 2.6%, from 1.8%. Admittedly, if you strip out enough of the falling components, then obviously what's left went up. But in this case these are one-offs. If this really was the start of a new recession, like the ones in 2001 and 2008, then we would expect to see GDP excluding defense and inventories falling too. Instead, the growth rate is accelerating. –Paul Ashworth, Capital Economics
–The contraction of the U.S. economy came clearly as a negative surprise. We would, however, like to emphasize that this is not the beginning of a recession. It is important to stress that the weakness came exclusively from three components: inventories, net exports, and government spending. While we expected slowdowns in the first two components (reversing the strength seen in 3Q12) the degree of the slump in government spending was a surprise. … Overall, the details of today's GDP report are clearly better than the unpleasant headline figure suggests. This view is shared by financial markets (equity futures, bonds), which – after an initial shock – pared their losses. –Harm Bandholz, UniCredit Research
–My first response to the GDP report was 'holy cow!– it's not often that the US economy contracts, and the headline says that this just happened in the final quarter of 2012. Many had expected weak growth; none had seen a contraction coming. But once you take a deep breath, read past the headline, and delve into the numbers, you'll see that this is actually a pretty good (though not great) report. The internals are much better than the top-line belies. Under the hood, we see solid growth in both consumption and investment and as a result, private spending was humming along. Last quarter's decline in US GDP was all about inventories (which subtracted 1.3 percentage points from growth), as well as sharp cuts in defense spending. Neither of these are expected to persist. And let's not forget that this is the "advance" GDP estimate, which is only an early (an often inaccurate) guess as to what was happening. Typically, this estimate misses the mark by a full 1.3 percentage points. –Justin Wolfers, University of Michigan and Brookings Institution
–Hurricane Sandy clearly had an impact on activity in Q4, but the BEA had no way to break it out in the data and therefore was unable to quantify the effect. As it turns out, my read is that the impact was surprisingly muted, as consumer spending pretty much fully recovered for what was lost early in the period. Housing also showed no ill effects for the quarter as whole. Ironically, the one place where the storm's impact seems most evident is a surprising one: trade. Even here, I suspect that the effects would have been mostly unwound by the end of the quarter if not for the labor issues at key ports on both coasts. –Stephen Stanley, Pierpont Securities

23 Days, 15 States, 7,000 Miles and 1 Airplane: An Independent Study
Longwood student flies cross-country for a study on the physical and cultural geography of the United States
Cultural geography interested Longwood junior David Keran from his first week on campus. As part of orientation for the Cormier Honors College, Keran participated in a project engaging students in how geography influences culture - and vice-versa - in Farmville, Va. He took that idea to the next level the following year with an Independent Study project: traveling across the United States to observe and analyze our nation's diverse physical and cultural landforms.
"The Cormier Honors College uses the concept of 'place as text' - using a location as opposed to a textbook," Keran said. "In other words, instead of reading about the geography of a place, go there, walk around, see it, experience it. That's really the essence of how this project came to be. Your classroom is the environment you're studying."
Initially, Keran proposed driving Route 50, a less famous counterpart of Route 66. After an anonymous sponsor offered him the use of a Cessna 172, a light aircraft nicknamed "Tweetybird," things got interesting. For Keran, flying is a family affair; his mother and both of his grandfathers were pilots, and his father flies as well. He has 10 years of flying experience himself and was formally licensed three years ago. He was well equipped to take his journey to the skies, with an adjusted emphasis on studying the physical landforms he could observe from the air.
Keran was empowered to undertake his study with funding from the Cormier Honors College and the support of Longwood faculty members Dr. Ed Kinman, Dr. Alix Fink and Dr. Geoffrey Orth. However, he traveled with a crew of one: himself. Keran flew a circle route around the country, beginning in the South: Alabama, central Texas, along the border in Arizona and New Mexico, and ending up in California. After repositioning for his flight across the Rockies, he started his northern track, stopping in West Yellowstone in Montana, on Lake Michigan in Wisconsin and around the Chicago area, then heading back to Northern Virginia.
"David gets a spark in his eye when he makes observations about the world around him. He has a great love for learning. Combine that with his passion for flying, and you have this remarkable project," said Dr. Kinman, associate professor of geography and Keran's independent study advisor. "When you get above and start looking down at the world, you're able to make connections and identify patterns you wouldn't otherwise see. David developed an understanding not only of the varying physical landscape - mountains, valleys, plains - but the cultural landscape, or the things that humans have altered - such as contrasting land-survey patterns that have influenced the way cities are organized, as well as agricultural fields."
At the end of each day, Keran recorded his observations in the trip journal and downloaded photos and video footage. He identified and documented examples of the physical and cultural landforms he had studied in class and the insights. At the conclusion of his trip, Keran produced a 34-minute video, photo book and 120-page journal with written narratives and souvenirs to share his findings.
"What really makes me happy from an educator's perspective is the breadth of academic disciplines this project crossed. David brought in skills from so many different areas of study: geography, history, physics, English. This type of experience truly brings to life the value of a liberal arts education," said Dr. Kinman.
Keran highlighted three geographic observations that helped him synthesize his classroom and real-life experiences:
- Windmills. These were especially prevalent in the Southwest, as well as southern Idaho, eastern Ohio and West Virginia. Windmills mark an area of steady wind - either from flat areas with nothing to stop wind currents (such as in the desert) or mountain thermals and currents (Idaho, West Virginia, Ohio). They also may indicate the political geography of the area, in terms of green energy and anti-pollution laws.
- Systems of Irrigation. In the Southwest, circular agricultural fields stood out clearly in the desert, formed by "pivot irrigation." On the other hand, irrigated fields in California's San Joaquin Valley were rectangular, with aqueducts along the edges. The prevalence of irrigation systems emphasized the importance of utilizing water to its maximum potential in these areas.
- Plant Succession. In this phenomenon, aquatic vegetation slowly overtakes a lake or pond, solidifies into peat and eventually replaces the pond. Several examples were found in central South Dakota. Keran was particularly impressed to see such clear demonstrations of plant succession, as he had read about it in a textbook before starting out.
In total, Keran spent 23 days traveling, including a two-week stint with the Civil Air Patrol in Alabama. He racked up impressive numbers over the course of his trip, flying 7,000 miles in 66 hours in the air. He flew over 22 states and landed in 15 for refueling and overnight stays. He crossed the Continental Divide four times.
Keran's experience complemented and reinforced his current studies as well as his planned career path. "In the near future, I'd like to get involved with the National Parks Service as park law enforcement. I've always been interested in the spaces that have been carved out as the highlights of our country. It would combine a little of everything - law enforcement, aviation, our national parks. For me, it's the best of all worlds!"

Regulation disrupts the private equity landscape

Asset management: achieving a competitive advantage
Today's asset management industry is marked by increased competition, heightened regulatory scrutiny and growing customer demands for more information and greater transparency – all set against the backdrop of a volatile market.
As firms grapple with business issues such as product innovation, evolving fee structures and industry consolidation, they also find themselves needing to devote more time than ever to managing regulatory demands.
Through our Global Asset Management Center, we can help you navigate these challenges by bringing together ideas from 35,000 financial services professionals around the world. The result is seamless, high-quality service, wherever you're located.
Key issues in today's asset management environment include:
- Consolidation, yet polarization
Resulting pricing pressures and the need for investment suggest that the largest asset management firms will continue to enjoy scale advantage. Add the growing cost of regulatory compliance and the impact of further banking divestments, and consolidation is expected to continue, if not accelerate.
Some managers are diversifying by developing new products or extending product ranges, while others are offering existing products to new customers or seeking to enter new geographic markets, such as emerging-country economies. Others are evaluating long-term viability to determine whether to be acquirers, enter into joint ventures or possibly prepare to sell their firms.
Whether asset management firms decide to acquire new firms, consolidate product lines or launch new products in 2012 will depend on what happens to valuations, regulatory and tax uncertainties, as well as on how financial markets perform.
Our approach — grounded in industry-specific experience and committed to delivering measurable, sustainable results — can help you adapt and succeed.
Related content:
- Investor transparency and communication
Post credit crisis, transparency has become the buzzword, namely in the alternative investment management industry. Additionally, investors are more focused on risk than ever before.
Asset management firms must respond to the increased transparency requirements of institutional investors, especially with information and proactive reporting around the mitigation of both investment and operational risks.
Requests for third-party reports have gained significant momentum in the industry as they have become an effective and efficient tool to communicate about a firm's internal control structure and in turn address increased investor demands.
We can help you prepare accordingly.
Related content:
- Governance and regulatory changes
Significant regulatory changes impacting the asset management industry are occurring, including FATCA, AIFMD and expanded registration for investment advisers with the SEC. Changes may include increased capital requirements, leverage limits, remuneration caps and/or new disclosures and reporting.
Structural changes to the global banking system, Solvency II and the regulation of derivatives may also have profound and unpredictable effects on the asset management industry.
In addition, Europe is increasingly focused on shadow banking activities and how best to regulate, while the SEC in the US has discussed further reforms to the money market fund industry in light of the financial crisis.
In response, asset management firms are evaluating current compliance functions, resources (both people and technology) and establishing formal compliance policies and procedures. Further, business models are evolving as there is more interest by alternative managers in regulated products (e.g., UCITS, mutual funds) and conversely, more interest by regulated managers in absolute return strategies.
We can help you prepare:
- Expanding beyond domestic borders
International expansion has emerged as a major focus in the asset management industry with asset managers from all regions looking to increase their presence beyond domestic borders. The "East to West and West to East" phenomenon is expected to gain further momentum in 2012.
Many managers are cautious about the rapid shift of capital into emerging markets, and have concerns about the prospect of asset bubbles in these markets.
Rather than returning to business as usual after the global financial crisis, new patterns of international investment are emerging. Asset management firms will need to adjust their strategies to reflect the changing patterns of investment that are developing and position themselves competitively.
Are you prepared?

At least a third of the Palo Alto City Council is in favor of testing out a program that would allow people who use their cars for shelter to continue doing so, but only in specified parts of town.
The Policy and Services Committee voted 3-1 Tuesday night to recommend that the full city council authorize a three-month "pilot vehicle dwelling program."
Up to three people would be allowed to sleep overnight in a vehicle in the parking lot of a religious institution, place of worship or business with the written permission of the owner. City sites could also be part of the mix.
"I think we do have a problem in the community. It's not just a couple of isolated incidents," said Council Member Sid Espinosa.
"I think across town we've heard from both business owners and citizens about issues in their community that clearly cannot be addressed or aren't being addressed through our normal ordinances or police enforcement."
The problem attracted the attention of the city council last year following complaints about the aggressive and unsanitary behavior of some car campers. A working group was assembled to investigate possible solutions.
In addition to the pilot program, the committee was asked Tuesday to consider an ordinance barring vehicle habitation. Palo Alto is the only city in Santa Clara County that hasn't outlawed the practice.
Espinosa said he was actually in favor of a ban, but only as a last resort.
"Before the consideration of an ordinance, I want to make sure we've done all we can to find an alternative where those who are living in their vehicles can be housed within the city," Espinosa said.
Espinosa joined Council Member Greg Schmid in calling for the city to play a more active role in finding parking lots for the trial. To date, few individuals or organizations have expressed interest in participating.
"Hopefully, with a more active city role, we might find some of the organizations willing to move forward," Schmid said.
Council Member Larry Klein, who cast the dissenting vote, wasn't convinced vehicle habitation should be a priority.
"I don't find that to be a sufficient problem right now," Klein said.
"I remain concerned that since everyone else has an ordinance against sleeping in cars that we might become a magnet. We don't seem to have become so yet. But the very fact that we're publicizing this now by having this hearing makes me wonder if we might have been better off if this was just one of those little-known secrets."
Klein also raised concerns about the cost of the pilot program and the staff time it would take to manage.
"If it is correct we only have 20 or 30 people (car campers), I think we will end up spending so much money that we'd be better off renting hotel rooms for each of the people we're talking about here," Klein said. "I don't think this is a good expenditure of our inevitably limited resources."
Espinosa said homeless advocates have reported that as many as 50 people are living out of their cars in Palo Alto.
The Policy and Services Committee heard from several speakers on both sides of the issue Tuesday.
"I think the worst thing you can do is to do nothing. You can't let it drift on, please, the way that it has been going all these years," said resident Diane Finkelstein, who recalled being chased by a car camper. She urged the committee to give police the "tools" they need to address resident concerns.
Bruce Kenyon, a member of the working group, said a vehicle habitation ban wasn't the answer.
"It's a human behavior problem," Kenyon told the committee, "and there's always going to be one or two bad apples that we can't control. An ordinance is not going to change that."

If you're talking tech with Americans, you may want to avoid using any jargon.
A recent study found that many Americans are lost when it comes to tech-related terms, with 11% saying that they thought HTML -- a language that is used to create websites -- was a sexually transmitted disease.
The study was conducted by Vouchercloud.net, a coupons website, as a way to determine how knowledgeable users are when it comes to tech terms.
"Technology is a huge interest for our user base, and month after month we see thousands of people visiting our site to look for coupons and deals to use when purchasing their favorite tech products," a company spokeswoman said in a statement. "It seems that quite a few of us need to brush up on our tech definitions."
Besides HTML, there were some other amusing findings:
Despite the incorrect answers, 61% of the respondents said it is important to have a good knowledge of technology in this day and age.
The study involved 2,392 men and women 18 years of age or older. The participants were not told that the study was specifically looking into their knowledge of tech terms. They were presented with both tech and non-tech terms and were asked to choose from three possible definitions.
"Hence why a mix of both normal and technology-related words were used," the company said in a statement.

2011 News Releases
Longwood faculty start aquatics and bowling program for special education students at Cumberland Elementary
October 26, 2011
Two Longwood University faculty members have launched a collaborative program that will provide therapeutic activity in aquatics and bowling to special education students at Cumberland Elementary School (CES).
This effort by Dr. Susan Lynch and Dr. Matt Lucas, both of whom teach in the Department of Health, Athletic Training, Recreation and Kinesiology (HARK), is an outgrowth of ongoing efforts by both to provide services in therapeutic recreation and adapted physical education to Cumberland County students. The program, which will involve Longwood students, may eventually be expanded to middle school and high school students.
This fall semester, CES special education students from Amy Scott's class and Yvette Rodriguez-Diaz's class have been coming to the Longwood campus. They go to Willett Hall at noon for a therapeutic aquatic program, then go to the bowling alley in Lankford Hall at about 1 p.m. to bowl. Longwood freshmen from Lynch's Intro to Therapeutic Recreation class and juniors from her Facilitation Techniques class are helping with this in the fall. Students from Lucas' Adapted PE and Lynch's Physical Disabilities classes will help in the spring.
Amy Scott teaches three students with multiple disabilities in grades K-5, and Yvette Rodriguez-Diaz, an early childhood specialist in special education, teaches four students ages 3-5. They bring all of their students to campus on Fridays.
"It's a great thing to bring the students here so they can practice gross-motor skills and social skills," said Scott. "It's important to take them outside of school, so that it's a different arena, a different environment. Also, some of these students have low muscle tone, and being in the water is therapeutic and helps strengthen their muscles. In addition, I want one of my students to cling to people less, and I can see that now (on the third visit) he is clinging less in the pool."
Rodriguez-Diaz said the aquatics activities are especially good for students who have autism. "These students have sensory issues, and being in the pool addresses these sensory issues. The sounds, the pressure from the water, and the feel of the water help them," she said. "These activities also help with their communication skills. For example, we want some of the students to speak in longer sentences, or to remember to use their indoor voice, and this helps."
This program for Cumberland Elementary students is in addition to the therapeutic aquatics class that Longwood's HARK has provided for several years in Willett Pool, usually six to seven times per semester, for adults in the community, said Lynch, who teaches in the therapeutic recreation program.
"We call this the pool practicum, which is connected to Therapeutic Recreation classes," Lynch said. "The juniors will mentor the freshmen. The aquatics class for adults provides therapeutic exercise and social interaction. The therapeutic exercise is based on helping individuals improve their range of motion, flexibility, and endurance."
The bowling activity with the CES students is different from a Saturday morning bowling program for kids with disabilities that was started recently by Lucas and two of his students.
"We use activities such as aquatics and bowling to help these individuals with problems or issues that have been identified," Lynch said.
Students in Lucas' Adapted PE class will help in the spring with the aquatics and bowling programs, which began Sept. 23. This spring, for the third year, students from that class will go out to CES to provide services in Amy Scott's class. "Ms. Scott helps runs our Challenger baseball program, and now she's also helping with the Saturday bowling program," Lucas said. "She has been a huge help with Challenger baseball."
Lucas and Lynch in spring 2009 helped start a local program of the Challenger Division of Little League Baseball for young people with disabilities. That program is held over six weeks every spring on the softball field at Cumberland High School.
The aquatics and bowling programs for CES special education students are the result of recent discussions initiated by Lynch and Lucas and involving the Cumberland County school superintendent, Dr. Amy Griffin; Bernice Ford, special education director and former CES principal; and the parent of a CES student who had inquired about recreational experiences in the community.

Very quick thoughts on the Giants' agreeing to a 5-year, $90M deal with right fielder Hunter Pence Saturday morning, according to countless media reports...
Is $18M per for five years for a player who turns 31 next April and isn't one of the top 10 players in baseball a clear over-pay?
Almost certainly. Beyond much doubt. In other words: YES.
But this is one case when I think the Giants decided they're rich enough to afford the rewarding of somebody they're proud to have on their roster and if that means they bid against themselves in order to do it now, so be it.
The Giants' potential thinking:
Though that's easy to rationalize now -- we'll see how they feel about it when we all get to 2017 of course;
And there was the Brian Wilson trigger, too, which I admit is ONLY MY SUPPOSITION, but I think it's pretty decent supposition on the interesting timing of it all.
Why do this now as opposed to waiting a few weeks to see what the market turns out to be? Why jump out ahead of the Andre Ethier standard -- 5 years, $85M -- when there wasn't a huge immediate incentive to do it?
I'm saying there was an immediate incentive for the Giants to do it, and it probably started when Wilson berated CEO Larry Baer the other night in full public view.
That's when I think Baer got personally involved in this, which put it all on the fast track, and gee, what would've driven that?
To me it's fascinating that Baer was in the middle of this so publicly (post-game discussion with Pence last night, in full view of reporters) right after he was berated by Wilson for some dumb thing relating to a 2012 World Series ring the Giants have been trying to get to Wilson for weeks.
Maybe Baer instantly wanted to reward a player like Pence who represents stability and discipline after the Wilson look-at-me idiocy, and the rest of the Giants' ownership agreed, and if it took $10-15M more than the Giants were previously prepared to pay, for a year more than the Giants were willing to commit to... then that's what it'd be.
The B-Willy Bonus and law of unintended consequences of being stupid.
I'm saying the Wilson wild-eyed buffoonery triggered Giants to rationalize: We've got the money, why not reward a guy we love who doesn't embarrass us, a guy who just won the Willie Mac Award -- very significant in that clubhouse and in the executive suites, and SHOULD be significant.
And it's something Brian Wilson, for all his hype and cartoonish thunder, could and never would receive, ever, ever, ever, ever.

A rare, albino chimera coast redwood tree in Cotati that is in danger of being removed to make way for the Sonoma and Marin counties' commuter rail project has received a reprieve.
The Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit district said today it will conduct "additional verification of expert analysis" and "an investigation of options."
"I have halted the process to take the time to bring in additional independent experts to examine and verify the analysis that was performed in September 2012 as part of our environmental permitting for this specific tree," SMART General Manager Farhad Mansourian said.
The 56-foot, chimera coast redwood tree is believed to be one of only 10 in existence, and one of only a few with its type of albinism. The tree, with white and green needles, also is unique because it contains two sets of DNA.
SMART said the tree is located at the base of a wall on private property within approximately 10 feet of the centerline of the second train track to be installed in the railroad right-of-way at the intersection of East Cotati Avenue.
The right-of-way in the area is 60 feet wide and will accommodate two tracks and a multi-use pathway, Mansourian said.
"SMART is required to comply with Federal Railroad Administration safety clearances for safe train operations," Mansourian said.
An arborist's report in 2012 stated the tree is a chimera coast redwood that was planted in the right-of-way of the 1850's era Northwestern Pacific Railroad 45 years ago by a private individual as a landscape ornament, Mansourian said.
The arborist's report analyzed extensive pruning of the tree to meet safety clearances, Mansourian said.
The report concluded that even by removing all the branches and foliage on its east side, the tree's health would still be undermined by track construction and wouldn't survive at its present location, Mansourian said.
The tree also would be in danger of being uprooted by winds within falling distance of the track, posing a safety hazard, Mansourian said.
Mansourian said about 60 chimera coast redwoods have been documented within the native coast redwood range south of Del Norte County. Most are protected in parks or are kept secret to prevent over-collection of foliage, Mansourian said.
The 2012 report also said the documented number of chimeras is a "significant under estimation" due to lack of access to a large percentage of redwood forest, Mansourian said.
"It indicates that the subject tree receives no statutory protection under state or federal laws," Mansourian said.
"SMART will consult with additional independent experts to verify the report's conclusions and determine if other options exist relative to the tree," Mansourian said.
Prue Draper, a Cotati historian who has lobbied to save the tree, said she is encouraged SMART isn't going ahead with cutting down the tree.
The City of Cotati is willing to have the tree located in Helen Putnam Park, Draper said.
"SMART will have to remove it. The City is willing to welcome it and water it," Draper said.
There are different opinions whether the tree can be transplanted, Draper said.
"It's the tallest of its kind in the world. It's been there forever and no one paid any attention to it," she said.

"Becuase of the cap, if every veteran on the team took a 15 percent discount on their market value, you couldn't field that team still under the cap because the difference between wholesale (draft) and retail (free agency) is so wide.
"You have to figure out which players to keep and which players to let move on and churn out. Because you have to continue to replenish the system.
Sums it up pretty well. You have to let some go and draft well.

STANFORD -- Sheryl Sandberg's polarizing manifesto about the role of women in the workplace has drawn its share of praise and criticism.
But at Stanford University on Tuesday night, a new generation of engineers, entrepreneurs and future feminists enthusiastically embraced Facebook's chief operating officer's message of leadership.
Stirring the crowd to its feet at the sold-out lecture in support of her new book and burgeoning feminist movement dubbed "Lean In," she asked, "How many of you want to be No. 1 in your field? What would you do if you were not afraid? Stand up if you can think of one thing you can do differently not just for yourself, but for women all over the world."
Many found it inspiring.
"She can reshape corporate culture and national culture," said Michele Elam, professor of English and director of curriculum at Stanford. "There are a lot of people doing work on gender scholarship, but it isn't necessarily translatable, it hasn't necessarily hit the public. She has made it her own and communicated it."
In a warm and disarming tone, Sandberg told humbling tales about crying at work and guilt about mothering.
Sandberg -- whose net worth was pegged at $500 million by Forbes last October -- described how a bossy little girl reached top management, steering a social network to once-unimaginable heights.
Her book, "Lean In," has roared into the No. 1 position on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction list. Her speeches have gone viral, with some included in syllabuses at the Stanford and Harvard business schools. Her TED talk has been viewed more than 2 million times.
Other women in the valley have been successful in tech, but none has been so vocal about female empowerment.
And it struck a chord.
"I could completely relate -- especially when young women who speak up are told they are bossy," said Lina Malova, 28, a Kenyan native who is a policy fellow with the San Francisco Department on the Status of Women. "Letting the fear go -- that's what I've learned," she said. "When I am at the table, it is my place. I just have to be there."
As for Facebook, Sandberg said it has a female head of global sales, head of design and head of policy. "The most important thing we do differently at Facebook," she said, "is that we talk about these issues."
The lecture, sponsored by Stanford's Clayman Institute for Gender Research, started out with some hard truths.
Men still run the world, she said, noting that of 197 heads of state, only 22 are women; of the top 500 companies by revenues, only 21 are headed by women; and in politics, women hold just 18 percent of congressional offices. In 2010, women earned just 77 cents for every dollar men made.
She offered this advice:
"Progress will turn more on private conversations, not public conversations," she said. "The conversations with our workers and our supervisors and our partners and children -- they are not always fun. But if they happen, we will get to a better world."

Paintball is a game played by individuals or teams that uses strategy, survival tactics and a gun with markers to defeat the opponent. To play, challengers use paintball guns to shoot or tag the opposing team with a non-toxic, water-soluble polymer. The team that "hits" all the members of an opposing team wins. Games are played in facilities with hard floors, or on indoor and outdoor fields. For nearly 35 years, the game has been played as a recreational activity by family and friends. However, paintball was accepted as a sport in 1999 by the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA), therefore, it can also be played on a professional sporting level. Professional teams go on to compete in major tournaments in an organized competition setting. Additionally, military branches, law enforcement and security organizations utilize paintball technology as a significant part of training.
The evolution of paintball began with the Nelson Paint Company. In the late 1970s, the company developed a gas-operated gun with marking pellets to be used for any tasks requiring a semi-permanent mark shot from distances, including marking trees for removal and cows for slaughtering. However, the game itself was created by two friends – Charles Gaines and Bill Gurnsey. The friends developed a set of rules for "survival games," which tested people's skills against each other. Their games required a marking pellet gun. After searching for a year, Gaines and Gurnsey discovered that the Nelson Paint Company carried a selection of industrial guns and pellets that was exactly what they were looking for. In 1981 in the state of New Hampshire, Gaines and Gurnsey, along with 12 friends, played the first game of paintball on a 100-acre field without wearing or using any safety equipment.
Gaines and Gurnsey named their idea "The National Survival Game" because of the nature of the first combat. Sometimes, the friends would play as individuals or as teams. However, the object of the majority of the games was based on, "every man for himself."
Through the years, paintball surpassed the simplicity of its beginnings. As more people became interested in the game, forming teams became the standard. In 1982, the first national competition was held. With the game quickly becoming a popular competitive activity, different variations were created, such as capture the flag, speedball and other offensive/defensive scenarios. By 1984, the first indoor field was opened for battle.
The safety equipment worn and used while playing paintball has evolved greatly since the initial stages. The original safety goggles worn were the same as the ones worn in laboratories and wood shops. Today, the modern safety goggles are the same ones commonly used in skiing and snowboarding with the added protection of UV resistance and a hard shell that fully covers the eyes, nose, mouth and ears. Additionally, older versions of the safety masks have been fully upgraded with less bulky designs, making it easier to wear and maneuver.
