This girl is amazing.
Her voice is what got me.
I don't think I've been this traumatized in my life before.
Just how I like em. Young and slutty.
I felt gay after writing that title. But don't worry, after I jerk off to her for the 3rd time, I'll definitely feel a lot less gay.
Click the fucking thumbnail to witness the greatness. Wow.
Now how are you supposed to rape them if you're paralyzed? Jackass.
Damn, her pussy was sweet. But this revenge is sweeter. *Mark Wahlberg voice* Say hi to your mom for me.
Getting arrested for raping this ass?! Totally worth it!
So Panda's are in fact violent and horny creatures. Snapple fact #493 was true after all.
Cheating on your final exams can have some fucked up consequences. Especially if you're as hot as this bitch is.
You MUST watch this guy in action. Best salesman ever. Fucking EPIC.
It sucks buddy, but you got to move on. There's always this thing called porn, and massage parlors.
Gutterslut in training takes to Craigslist and finds the dirtiest fucker in town to double her allowance. Except anal sex wasn't outlined in the e-mail. Do you think she learned her lesson?

statement of purpose
Personal statement about an individual, what influences them, professional interests, and plan for the future as typically described as part of a college applicants admissions application.
Use this term in a sentence
After I was hired, I made a statement of purpose to the company about what I wanted to accomplish and what I would bring to the company.
Jessica worked very hard on her college applications but she really struggled with the statement of purpose as she wasn't really what she wanted to do in the future.

Roger visits project in |South Africa
19.02.2013 | Foundation, Starseite 3
Roger, in his capacity as President of the Roger Federer Foundation, and his mother Lynette visited the Hlukani and Govhu crèches in the Limpopo Province of South Africa today. They were given a warm reception by the children, parents, caregivers and official representatives from various authorities. The Roger Federer Foundation has partnered the locally organized READ Educational Trust since 2010. The aim of the Trust is to promote good quality education in 40 crèches for children between 4-6 years old situated in rural and remote areas in Northern Limpopo. During his visit Roger learned all about the current curriculum and saw for himself the children's daily activities.
Watch the video here:
This is so inspiring! Thank you for the wonderful work you do through your foundation.
The work you do through your Foundation only adds to the list of things that make you the greatest Roger. God bless you!

Some were too devastated or overcome with relief to speak. For others, emotions fell like water from an air tanker.
Two days after a wildfire scorched 600 acres and 10 buildings in Bonny Doon, many of the 1,500 evacuated residents got their first look Friday at what was left of their forested community in the Santa Cruz Mountains, as officials began lifting roadblocks.
"We heard it was still standing, but we wanted to see it with our own eyes," said Dori Ward, who returned at noon to the Martin Road home she and her husband, Andrew, evacuated Wednesday evening. "It's all still here. We love this place."
But their relief was tempered with anxiety for neighbors who lost their homes to the flames.
"It's like every emotion a human can experience rolled up in one," Andrew Ward said. "I'm relieved, I'm grateful, I'm thankful, and I'm concerned about my neighbors."
Authorities lifted their evacuation order Friday for Ice Cream Grade, Smith Grade, Pine Flats Road, Empire Grade and the Pineridge subdivision. Residents with identification were allowed to return to those areas, and the county sheriff stepped up patrols for property protection.
Firefighters gained the upper hand thanks to two days of moist, gentle sea breezes that replaced the warm, dry offshore gusts that had whipped up the blaze. Helicopters continued thumping overhead Friday, dropping water on hot spots while firefighters on the ground doused smoldering logs and stumps.
"It's called mop-up, just to clean up what's left over," said fire engineer Keith Smith of the Ventura County Fire Department. He was among the nearly 900 firefighters called in from around the state.
Evacuation orders remained in effect for Quail Road and Martin Road, which bisects the Bonny Doon Ecological Reserve where the wildfire wrought most of its destruction.
Residents of Martin and Quail roads were allowed in only to assess the damage to their properties. Fire crews were still evaluating charred trees and power poles for dangers including downed electrical lines and falling limbs - known to firefighters as "widow makers."
Some homeowners said they planned to stay despite the evacuation order. In fact, a few had ignored it all along, choosing to defend their homes with hoses.
The Santa Cruz County chapter of the American Red Cross closed its temporary shelter for the Martin fire Friday because few needed it. Anyone else needing shelter will be put up in motels.
This year's record-dry spring has had firefighters chasing blazes throughout the state. The Martin fire in Bonny Doon was one of three significant blazes burning Friday.
The largest was the Humboldt fire in Butte County, which had burned 40 homes and 20,000 acres. It was only 15 percent contained and was heading toward the town of Paradise.
Meanwhile, the Indians fire in Monterey County had charred at least 18,000 acres of steep, remote terrain west of King City in the Los Padres National Forest and Fort Hunter Liggett military base. That fire was 36 percent contained Friday. And the Whiskey fire in Tehama County had burned about 1,000 acres.
Despite the challenges, state officials said Friday they have enough firefighters and equipment for the job, said Ruben Grijalva, director of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
"There's plenty of capacity," Grijalva said. "We are adding more seasonal firefighters this summer than any time in the history of Cal Fire."
But with dry conditions and population growth into rural, fire-prone areas, the job of putting out wildfires keeps expanding in California, he said.
"I don't consider us to have a fire season anymore," Grijalva said. "I consider it to be a year-round threat in California. We've had fires in Southern California as late as November."
This year's fire season got an early start with the 4,270-acre Summit fire May 22 that burned 35 homes in Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. That fire and the Martin incident remain under investigation.
Pat Woitte, manager of a small grocery store off Summit Road, said this week's fire was an eerie reminder of last month's blaze.
"I feel very sorry for the folks in Bonny Doon. Unless you've been through fires like these, you can't imagine what happens to you and how they can change your life."
Andrew Ward certainly understands. The Summit fire prompted him to step up brush-clearing around the 11-acre "art farm" where he works as an artist and his wife as a graphic designer. Wednesday's dry winds had him so anxious about fire that Dori said he couldn't eat breakfast.
Now, he's talking about doubling his water storage. But they're staying put.
"You get back on the horse," Andrew Ward said. "We're not moving."

Hi ladies,
well i have a few outdoor experiences
the one that comes to mind...................
we'd just moved to our farm, it was summer and so hot that whilst in the fields working !
we thought why not.... we found ourselves a nice spot in the corner of a field, stripped off and made a bed with the clothes ( nothing worser than prickly grass up your bum ) soz for that.
just getting to that moment and i could hear a buzzing noise ( a bit like an engine ) my bloke said not to worry as nextdoor wouldn't see us cuz of the hedge row, so we carry on enjoying that extra buzz we could get caught
anyhow all done we just lye down to chill for a moment when we had the biggest shock of our lives .
There's a microlite airfield thingy near by, and the buzzin...........yes ........... there was around 5 flighing over us

Hotel will create jobs, give economy a boost
I would like to comment on the Iskalo Development proposed Hyatt hotel and what it can mean to our community.
This project will create immediate jobs for construction workers in our area. Materials will be provided by local suppliers, which will generate income for the local economy. Long-term employment positions will be created to fill the daily needs of the hotel guests. I personally know people who have worked in the hotel industry at the same location for 15 to 20 years and more.
If a project such as this does not get off the ground, it can affect the many families that rely on the jobs that would have been created. Not only immediate employees, but ongoing employment as well.
Iskalo Development has a proven track record of being very conscious of the surrounding community and its feel. Iskalo has gone to great lengths to ensure this project, like its many others, will have a high-end look, including much additional landscaping, to assure it will blend well with existing buildings in the surrounding community.
It would be a shame if this project does not move forward.

Tim Burvill has always made exceptional Chardonnay, but Rockbare's 2005 McLaren Vale Chardonnay is unquestionably this winery's most prodigious offering to date. The 2005 Rockbare Chardonnay wears a pretty straw-colored robe and a sunlit gleam, but even more exciting is the wine's seductive aroma – a combination of fresh apple and peach, followed by a gentle minerality, and a textured creaminess that persists all the way through to a glorious finish. Furthermore, all of the olfactory goodness in the 2005 Rockbare Chardonnay is followed by a refreshing mouthful of pure elegant Chardonnay fruit, minus the smoke and mirrors of excessive oak. How is it that Rockbare can fashion such a gorgeous, seamless, European style Chardonnay in South Australia, a land considered more attuned to red wine than white, when legions of well-heeled winemakers from around the world (including Burgundy and California) can barely furnish the consumer more than insipid, malnourished progeny that in the New World at least far too often rely on a massive infusion of oak to mask their inherent malediction? The flamboyant, medium-bodied Rockbare Chardonnay has just the right amount of acidity and oak, as well as a bright, clean, racy finish that just begs the taste buds for another sip. Recently, the 2005 Rockbare Chardonnay has garnered high praise from critics from all corners of the globe, so alas quantities are strictly limited. We suggest serving this versatile Chardonnay fairly well chilled (about 40° F), and then allowing it to warm gradually in the glass. Indeed, it would be a shame to miss any of the subtle nuances and latent goodness inherent in the 2005 Rockbare McLaren Vale Chardonnay.
The 2005 Rockbare McLaren Vale Chardonnay is the ideal wine to drink now with family or friends, or it can be put aside for six months or more in search of an occasion. With food or without, in warm weather or cold, the 2005 Rockbare McLaren Vale Chardonnay is easy to adore. Fish, shrimp, clams, oysters, scallops, and nearly anything else that swims in the sea gets our nod for partnering with the 2005 Rockbare Chardonnay. And rest assured the fruits of the sea are not the only noteworthy complements: How about Crispy Chicken with a Honey Dijon Glaze? Vegetable and Feta Stuffed Acorn Squash makes another wonderful accompaniment, as does a cheese and fruit platter. Whatever you decide, we are confident that you will enjoy this splendid Chardonnay. Enjoy!
Rockbare is the handiwork of Tim Burvill, Australian winemaker extraordinaire, in collaboration with the great terroir of McLaren Vale. McLaren Vale is a relatively small viticultural area of South Australia that is known for its premium grapes and its abundance of meticulously tended, family owned vineyards, which not surprisingly turn out some of the very finest wine Australia can produce.
Tim Burvill has run the gamut in Australian viticulture. He gained extensive winemaking experience working at Southcorp, one of Australia's leading wine conglomerates, where he was responsible for making what many consider to be Australia's most exciting and expensive premium Chardonnay – Yattarna. Equally well versed with red and white wines, as well as the merits of technical razzle-dazzle, Tim made a conscious effort when he created the Rockbare label in 2000 to eschew technical homogeneity along with the smoke and mirrors employed by so many other Australian winemakers. Instead, he employs winemaking techniques at Rockbare that were more in vogue a century or more ago. Using minimal filtering, or even a no filtration approach, and very little oak, Tim does not obscure or obliterate the great McLaren fruit he sources from the region's premier vineyards. Instead, Rockbare's wines are filled with complex flavors driven by outstanding fruit and natural acidity, not some wine technocrat's rendition of the Molotov cocktail.
Rockbare puts all of its attention into producing just two outstanding McLaren Vale offerings: Shiraz and Chardonnay. Both varietal offerings are produced from 100% McLaren Vale fruit, much of it from old vines that are dry-farmed. Taste and see why critics have gone crazy over Rockbare wines!

Information from recent analysis of major financial institutions in the United States and around the world reveals that nearly all major financial institutions have suffered huge losses over the past year. The data furnished by Wilshire Associates, a global independent investment advisory and services firm, are shown below.
The terrible irony of all this is that the CEOs who led their companies to failure and bankruptcy receive enormous salaries for their incompetency. Richard Fuld, the longtime chief of Lehman Brothers took home nearly half a billion dollars in total compensation between 1993 and 2007, according to calculations of Equilar, an executive pay research company.
That amounts to roughly $17,000 an hour to obliterate the firm. E. Stanley O'Neal, the former chief of Merrill Lynch, retired last year after driving the firm over a cliff, and he walked away with $161 million.
Here is some suggested reading for those with vital interests in health care reforms and improvements in West Virginia. In the Sept. 17 issue of "ChamberLinks - The Voice of Business in West Virginia," W.Va. Chamber of Commerce President Steve Roberts, wrote a most interesting commentary regarding the health care reforms and improvements including insurance, electronic medical records, cost-shift, personal responsibility, educational needs, medical homes, community care clinics and other subjects. It's a worthwhile read.
There are two other subjects of compelling interest in this issue. The first deals with the success of the privatization of the workers' comp market. According to the state Insurance Commissioner Jane Cline, 105 insurance carriers have written workers' comp insurance policies since July 1. "This is evidence that the changes made to our system were well received," Cline said
The other is by the West Virginia Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management dealing with the formulation and institution of disaster plans and "disaster kits" for the work place and in the home.
Both of these topics, and other interesting information contained in the "ChamberLinks" publication, may be viewed at www.wvchamber.com.
While we're talking about suggested reading, I checked with the bookseller-giant Amazon.com and other major book stores like Books-A-Million and Barns & Nobel and Borders, and found what I suspected to be true: There was no run on the books I suggested everyone should read a couple of weeks ago, namely "The Limits of Power The End of American Exceptionalism" by Andrew J. Bacevich, and "The New Elite: The Truly Wealthy," written conjointly by Jim Taylor, Doug Harrison and Stephen Kraus. OK Oprah, don't be alarmed, I'm not going to be a threat to your suggestive powers over bibliophiles.
Elkins Mayor Judy Guye, Elkins-Randolph County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Ellen Spears and Ed Griesel attended the ON TRAC seminar in Fairmont recently. ON TRAC is the precursor to becoming a fully designated Main Street Community - a program that promotes the preservation and revitalization of small towns. The city of Elkins tried to become a Main Street community several years ago but because of budget, staffing and other requirements, could not qualify.
To become an ON TRAC participant, a town has only to be incorporated, have a sponsoring organization and have a signed endorsement by the local government. Communities must participate in the ON TRAC programs for two years before applying to become a Main Street community.
"It is my sincere hope that the city of Elkins will make the effort necessary to submit an application and be chosen to participate in the ON TRAC program and later be named as a Main Street West Virginia community," Spears said.
For more information on either of these programs, call one of those mentioned above at 636-1414, 636-2717, or 636-2903 respectively.
It's time to apologize for another gross mistake - again. The Sept. 6 issue of The Inter-Mountain carried a story I wrote about the hard economic times the timber and lumber industries are now going through. In that article, I said that Wendell Cramer owner of Cramer Lumber Co. owned Coastal Lumber Co. One has to work hard to make a glowing mistake like that.
Knowing Mr. Cramer, I called him and apologized to him personally. He was a bit amused and jokingly said that owning Coastal probably wouldn't be a bad deal. Thanks Wendell for your understanding.
Not knowing who in or with Coastal to apologize to personally, I offer my apologies to all those who own and work for the company.
In the more than three years of attending the Downtown Merchants' meetings and reporting their discussions and activities that benefit the entire business community of the city of Elkins and surrounding area, I never once saw Ed Griesel's demeanor change. He has always been mild mannered when discussing his views in a level and controlled tone of voice and always one to consider the views of others. I see, however, in the latest issue of "Ed's Notes," his summary of the proceedings at the meetings that he has gotten his "dander up." It's about time.
Let me quote verbatim his comments under the heading Attention Needed: "Outside groups and individuals have been trying for a long time to help downtown businesses. Unfortunately, many of these businesses do nothing to help themselves, or downtown as a whole. It is apparent that more and more people are finding their way here and it is also apparent that a lot of them are not finding their way downtown. Why? Good question; there is probably a number of reasons and some of those reasons are beyond our control. However, some of those reasons are within our control, but we have to act to correct them. We have to act collectively to sell downtown to local residents and travelers planning to come here. The city needs to get real and earnestly take steps to clean up Elkins and enforce codes. We need to be creative by designing literature to promote ourselves, we need to get tour companies to include time to shop our stores and we need to make changes to the times we are open. Each of you is needed to work on these projects to complete them in a timely manner. It's time to take control of our fate."

Sometimes, only a decadent chocolate fix will do; that's where these brownies come into play. While they're not exactly guilt-free, nutritionist Cynthia Sass created these vegan spinach brownies to help you add a few nutrients to your dessert. Mixing in almond flour increases the protein and healthy fat content of these vegan brownies, and the secret ingredient, spinach, adds antioxidants (also found in the dark chocolate chips), iron, vitamin A, calcium, and other nutrients, as well.

Two Close to Returning
Tuesday, 12.6.2005 / 12:00 AM ET / News
Buffalo Sabres | Press Release
Miller, who has been sidelined for five weeks with a broken thumb, is on schedule with the four to six week timeline provided by team doctors and could see action as early as Minnesota this Sunday.
"He's now in full practices and we're evaluating him day-to-day," said Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff. "But I would be hopeful that he would be ready for game action by the weekend."
"It's got some aches, but overall, it feels pretty good on the ice," said Miller of his injured thumb. "It just feels good to get my timing back and face some shots at a high pace."
Team doctors had Miller use Tuesday as an experiment to test the injury and will again X-Ray the thumb on Thursday night. The results of that examination will determine the progress of Miller's recovery and a return date.
Although cleared for full contact, Miller hasn't regained full strength in the appendage and still experiences discomfort in certain situations.
"It puts a lot more pressure on my wrist area to compensate and that's really something that I don't want," said Miller. "I want to just make sure that I rehab it the right way and get it back to being comfortable enough that I'm not thinking about it all the time."
With his possible return so close at hand, Miller is approaching each day as his last in the stands.
"I've been treating most days as game days," stated Miller. "I do most of my workouts in the evenings to get used to physical activity past six or seven o'clock. I'm starting to prepare, even if I'm not playing, like I would if I was playing."
In 10 games this season, Miller has posted a 2.77 goals against average and a .910 save percentage.
According to Ruff, Briere's condition is progressing, but the center has been limited to mostly conditioning work with no contact during practice.
"Today is probably the most he's done since being injured," said Ruff. "He felt good, but got a little weak at the end."
The morning after has been the most telling factor of Briere's ailment. He usually experiences discomfort on the day following a workout but not during.
"We're hopeful that he feels good in the morning and he can progress to maybe a full practice, possible tomorrow, but later in the week probably."
Briere has missed seven games due to the mysterious abdominal strain. In 21 games this season, he recorded 12 goals and added eight assists for 20 points.
JP Dumont's season is reportedly being shortened considerably this Thursday. The veteran winger will undergo surgery for his abdominal injury and is expected to be out of the lineup two to three months.
Dumont is likely to return following the two-week break for the Winter Olympics in late February.
If defenseman Dmitri Kalinin is looking for a positive this season to work off, he needn't look any further than his performance against the Avalanche on Sunday night. Returning to the lineup after being a healthy scratch for three of five previous games, Kalinin played with the type of desperation Ruff is looking for.
"If you look at (Jochen Hecht's) short-handed goal, it was Dmitri that made the play by jumping up ice and beating two Colorado players to the net," said Ruff. "I thought it was a big step in the right direction for him.
"He was involved physically in the game, skated better and if he can take a step forward from there, we're on the right track."

With content marketing being one of the hottest areas in communications, you've probably read great articles about content distribution and social media strategies for your content.
We want to highlight another important aspect of content marketing, which is writing. We've been studying the art of writing for a while now and the best guidance on writing we've found in a memo David Ogilvy send to his employees. The memo itself was sent in 1982, but it has never been more relevant.
His writing tips are too good to be forgotten, so we summarised them in an infographic:

Nickname: Nicky, Nicky Boy
Full name: Nicholas Evlampios Fotiu
Uniform Numbers: 22
Retired from pro hockey: 1990
Nick Fotiu`s eight seasons with the New York Rangers were a testament to a remarkable hockey player who defied all the odds to reach the NHL.
Growing up a short distance from Madison Square Garden in Staten Island, N.Y., Fotiu had limited access to ice rinks. But Fotiu, a huge Rangers fan, was determined not to let that stand in the way of his dream.
Playing hockey for the first time at age 15, he quickly came up through the old New York Metropolitan junior league and at age 22 had managed to catch on with the Hartford Whalers of the former World Hockey Association.
Just one step away from the NHL, Fotiu didn`t have to wait long for his hometown Rangers to give him a shot. He signed with the Blueshirts on July 23, 1976, becoming the first player born and raised within the five boroughs ever to reach the Rangers.
New York fans recognized Fotiu`s achievement in making it to the Rangers. They embraced his work ethic and fearlessness on the ice. Over the next decade, Fotiu developed a special relationship with his fans, and he faithfully honored them by throwing and shooting practice pucks into the stands before every game.
Fotiu was so popular with the Garden Faithful that even after being lost to Hartford in the 1979 NHL Expansion Draft, he was still a star whenever he returned to face the Rangers. Midway through the 1980-81 season, the Rangers brought Fotiu back to New York, where he would continue to play through the 1984-85 season.
Although he wasn`t a big scorer and was known throughout the league as an enforcer, Fotiu did manage to net eight goals in both 1981-82 and 1982-83. He also managed to play a total of 646 games before his retirement in 1990 — far more than many high-profile players who didn`t face similar obstacles to reach the NHL.
Following his retirement, Fotiu turned to coaching and eventually came back to the Rangers organization as an assistant coach with the Hartford Wolf Pack in 2002. By 2005, he had shifted to the role of pro scout — keeping close ties to the NHL team with which his name will forever be associated.

A Response to Angry Belgians
La Belgique, c'est chic. Dus schrijf the Wall Street Journal. While this post yesterday attracted thousands of readers and stirred up a hornets' nest, there's been something of a misunderstanding. All we did was write up the European Commission's recommendations for Belgium in a tongue-in-cheek manner. At no point was the intention to hate on, bash or slander Belgium. Some of our best reporters are Belgian.
Let's start with this post at Le Vif. While Bloomberg is a great organisation, I stopped working there in 2010. Our list of Belgium's problems is taken entirely from the commission's recommendations, available in all the country's official languages here. We didn't compare Brussels to London or Paris (although colleagues at The Telegraph did a while ago, and Brussels won).
Next – 7 sur 7. I'm only a tweet or an email away so it's a shame Ms Bayet didn't get in touch to ask my nationality (British, not American), before again ignoring the two paragraphs where we explain it's the European Commission that is criticizing Belgium. The purpose of the original post was to cut through the commission's jargon in a light-hearted way.
Not to "paint an unflattering picture," although yes, I did make a crack about the weather. The weather is awful right now. To quote Beaumarchais, "Je me presse de rire de tout, de peur d'être obligé d'en pleurer*." Maybe the Belgian bloggers could laugh too ? Or at least read the whole article.
This said, many thanks to Le Soir, who corrected the misunderstanding and even wrote this nice little piece clearing things up. And to Nieuwsblad, who completely understood what was going on – "a humorous analysis of some of the most important points raised by Olli Rehn regarding our country."
The whole thing is particularly silly because regular Real Time Brussels readers will know all about our extensive Belgium coverage. From beautifully-restored hotels in Ixelles, to the doudou, via Kasteel van Gaasbeek to the potato fields of Kain, to the Brussels opera house, we really enjoy writing about Belgium. We have moving stories about soldiers who sheltered here in WWII. We went on Ambassador Gutman's tour, which took in the brewery at Leuven and Tessenderlo's forest. We even went for a day at the seaside, to see the seagull plague in Ostend. And the cat parade in Ypres. How can one not love a country that has a cat parade?
Hardly the work of hardened Belgium haters, right? We are off to draw a line under this incident with a Westmalle – and we'll be sure to include a future warning on similar write-ups, stating clearly: 'WARNING! AVERTISSEMENT! AANDACHT! VORSICHT! May contain humor!'
* I force myself to laugh at everything, for fear of having to cry.

The Fix Picks the NFL: Week 7
You don't have to finish in a tie with a Turkish coin to know that attempting to pick winners against the spread in NFL games is a humbling experience. But I have found that it doesn't hurt. It helps, to a certain extent, to know that the people getting paid to make day-to-day decisions for NFL teams probably feel as helpless and hapless right about now as those of us asked to make week-to-week predictions. Of the 26 teams in action this week, 13 will start quarterbacks or running backs who did not start in Week 1, and six of those will feature quarterbacks who spent their Sundays modeling the headset-and-clipboard look as recently as two weeks ago.
And that is the NFL in Week 7 of the 2011 season, which is to say that it's also a league in which a flipped coin could pick a correct outcome as often as a highly qualified football expert. Or so I would assume, since I am not a highly qualified football expert. Being wrong about football is a fun sort of humbling, thankfully, although I should probably mention that my definition of fun is broad enough to include "watching Charlie Whitehurst play quarterback." And it helps to know that the actual experts, from the people on ESPN to those in the owners' suites, didn't really foresee much of this stuff happening, either.
Last Week's Results: David Roth 6-5-2 (47-37-6); Hedo the Coin 6-5-2 (42-42-6)
Chicago Bears (-1) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
DR: Buccaneers; HTC: Buccaneers
The NFL's annual game at London's Wembley Stadium began as a brand-building experiment, but it has entered its baroque stage: a strange and not-all-that-successful venture that the league apparently would be more embarrassed to cancel than to simply leave limping along. And so, because no one likes being wrong about things like this, the Bears and Bucs will play in front of a murmuring crowd in London this week. As best-foot-forward outreach goes, watching the Bucs run Earnest Graham and Kregg Lumpkin off-tackle against a vulnerable Bears defense leaves something to be desired. But perhaps London's fans will enjoy watching the tougher-than-you-think Bucs continue to be slightly tougher than anyone thinks. Perhaps watching Jay Cutler be chased around really is an amusement that transcends borders. Or not. There's always next year.
Washington Redskins (+2.5) at Carolina Panthers
DR: Panthers; HTC: Panthers
Redskins fans had to know it was coming. Even the few optimists who picked up Rex Grossman in their fantasy leagues during his early hot streak knew that, at some point likely sooner than later, Grossman and the Redskins offense would make a Hindenburg-ian return to earth. That happened in Week 6, and Grossman turned the job over (see what I did there?) to John Beck before this week's date with Carolina. That's how a team with a 3-2 record arrives at the home field of a team with a 1-5 record as the underdog. It helps that the Panthers' 1-5 record is more of a spunky-young-team-with-bad-luck 1-5 than an oh-jeez-the-Vikings 1-5. But when it comes to getting to 2-5, it's the Redskins' bummer of a quarterback controversy that should help Carolina the most.
San Diego Chargers (-2) at New York Jets
DR: Chargers; HTC: Chargers
There is the sense, although it is still somewhat faint and probably won't impact the man's mouth, that the magic of Jets coach Rex Ryan's intermittently amusing anti-charm offensive is maybe wearing off. Which does not mean he is stopping, of course. But with the Jets currently bumping along as one of the NFL's premier mediocrities, Ryan's high-volume psy-ops feels a little less visionary than it did in years past. The Chargers have been quieter about it, which says less about the wrestling-heel antics of quarterback Philip Rivers than it does about Ryan's goes-to-11 amplitude, but they've been nearly as inconsistent as the Jets and built their 4-1 record by eking out wins over the NFL's very worst teams. That's not an exaggeration: the Chargers have beaten the Broncos, Chiefs, Dolphins and Vikings by a total of 25 points. The Jets, on any given day, can look as bad as any of those teams. They could also get their sputtering running game on track against a Chargers run defense that allows a whopping 4.6 yards per carry. It's a tough one to call. Although, given Ryan's involvement, it's a safe bet that it will be loud.
Seattle Seahawks (+3) at Cleveland Browns
DR: Seahawks; HTC: Seahawks
There are bad-bad football games and good-bad football games. There are good football games as well, of course, but that's not really what we're talking about here. In the Seahawks and Browns, we have an ultra-insignificant and lousy-looking game that could still be a treat for football rubberneckers of a masochisto-ironical bent. The Seahawks, fresh off an impressive win against the Giants, will plug shaggy backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst into a no-huddle offense. The Browns have struggled to run the ball even with running back Peyton Hillis healthy (he has a hamstring injury and may not play). That, as well as the fact that Seattle has the league's best run defense, suggests that the Browns will ask second-year quarterback Colt McCoy to throw a lot of passes. Two goofy quarterbacks being asked to do too much could be a recipe for slapstick or surprise excellence. Or it could just be lousy. Either way, winces are in the forecast.
Houston Texans (+3) at Tennessee Titans
DR: Titans; HTC: Texans
It's a testament to the Lohan-grade, search-engine-optimized appeal of Terrell Owens that it made news this week when Titans coach Mike Munchak did not explicitly rule out signing the famous person-receiver. Owens' ability to solve any NFL team's problems is debatable. But Tennessee's problem, in this game and in general, is a rushing offense that is currently the least productive in the NFL. The Texans have been hit hard with injuries even by their usual standards for unusual unluckiness, and they looked the part in a lopsided loss to the Ravens in Week 6. They'll need to run the ball effectively and keep the Titans off bruised-up quarterback Matt Schaub to win this one. And with a dearth of healthy options and against a Titans defense that ranks 10th in the NFL, that will be a tall order. In other words, the Titans may not need T.O. this week.
Denver Broncos (+1) at Miami Dolphins
DR: Broncos; HTC: Dolphins
Oh, boy, this game. It's not just that this pairing of supremely moribund teams promises some seriously lousy football—although, credit where it is or isn't due, it promises some seriously lousy football. There's that, but at the risk of reveling in early-onset curmudgeonhood, it seems almost impolite for the week's worst game to be making so much noise. There is rumination about What Tim Tebow Means, as there is every week, and the mandatory hagiographic recapitulations of the Broncos quarterback's wonder-working in Florida. For the home team, which presently looks as if it could not beat any NFL team, there is speculation about Tony Sparano's job security and the tiresome Suck For (Andrew) Luck snark that buzzes around bad teams. Would you two teams please be quiet? Please!
Atlanta Falcons (+3.5) at Detroit Lions
DR: Falcons; HTC: Lions
There's no shame in a narrow loss to the 49ers, who look better by the week, but that doesn't mean the Detroit Lions don't have reason to feel bad about their Week 6 defeat. Versatile Lions back Jahvid Best, whose long history of concussions includes some truly scary moments while at Cal, suffered another concussion Sunday and is doubtful for this week, and possibly quite a few weeks after that. Detroit's newfound excellence followed a decade of decay, so it's natural to see the team as just an injury or two away from That Old Lions Haplessness. That's an overreaction: The Lions are good, and their pass rushers should spend much of Sunday in Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan's personal space. But Falcons back Michael Turner will challenge a run defense that was shredded in Week 6, and the Lions' running game may not be able to push back. These new Lions, as we keep saying, aren't those old Lions. But a little bit less of that old Lions uncertainty would make it a lot easier to pick them to cover.
Kansas City Chiefs (+5) at Oakland Raiders
DR: Raiders; HTC: Chiefs
Some teams will wear a patch or sticker to pay tribute to a recently deceased member of the organization. The Raiders are doing that for late owner Al Davis, but the team's recent trade for Carson Palmer seems like something else altogether: a borderline over-the-top tribute-by-transaction to Davis's latter-day management style. In the long run, the Raiders may benefit from picking up Palmer's arm and (hefty, guaranteed) salary. In the short run, the developing team just swapped a first- and second-round pick for a quarterback who hasn't played or practiced since last season, then instantly anointed him the starter over rocket-armed interception-machine Kyle Boller. This week, though, it's hard to imagine Palmer picking up the offense—or any of the other difficult details of NFL quarterbacking—when he hasn't picked up a football in months. Still, Oakland has a very favorable matchup in a limping, talent-poor but suddenly spunky Kansas City team that's riding one of the least-imposing two-game winning streaks in recent memory. It's impossible to know just what to expect from Palmer, or when to expect it. But given Oakland's fine defense, sizable home-field advantage and ultra-flawed opponent, it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect a less avant-garde tribute to Davis, one of the just-winning-baby variety.
Pittsburgh Steelers (-4) at Arizona Cardinals
DR: Steelers; HTC: Cardinals
Steelers coordinator Bruce Arians wants to work on establishing their running game. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wants to make greater use of the no-huddle offense. Both are noble goals and seemingly worth exploring after an uninspiring win against Jacksonville in Week 6. But Arizona could be forgiven for feeling a little insulted by all this talk of fine-tuning. The Cardinals are not a scout team, after all, but a professional football team that has looked intermittently competent this season under new quarterback Kevin Kolb. But they're also below average by most metrics and are fresh off a big loss to the spectacularly defeatable Minnesota Vikings. While they're not at all a scout team, it wouldn't be surprising if the Steelers made them look like one.
St. Louis Rams (+13) at Dallas Cowboys
DR: Cowboys; HTC: Cowboys
When the Rams made a move for mercurial receiver Brandon Lloyd—your 2010 NFL receiving leader (seriously, look it up) and a guy who was available on your fantasy league's waiver wire for the preceding three seasons—at the trade deadline, most people reacted with shrugging bafflement. Yes, St. Louis didn't give up much for a blue-chip player, but making this sort of final-piece-of-the-puzzle move is not the sort of thing that emphatically winless teams usually do. Perhaps the Rams still see themselves as contenders in the making. It's not a totally crazy perspective, as many saw them as one before some bad luck and some unexpected regression from 2010 Rookie of the Year Sam Bradford triggered their terrible start. But it's easier to side with the oddsmakers who made them hefty underdogs this week. The Cowboys have a fan-frustrating knack for folding late against good competition, but they also have a whopping talent advantage against teams like the Rams. With all due respect to Brandon Lloyd, two touchdowns sounds about right.
Green Bay Packers (-9) at Minnesota Vikings
DR: Packers; HTC: Packers
Donovan McNabb was once one of the NFL's must-watch talents: a dual-threat quarterback whose balance of toughness and talent made him one of his generation's most productive passers. This week, after getting the hook during a lopsided Week 6 loss to Chicago, McNabb will be backing up rookie Christian Ponder, making his first NFL start. It has been a long way down for McNabb, who has looked pretty overcooked over his last two seasons, but the blame for what looks like another lost season in Minnesota is not entirely on the deposed quarterback. And anyway, it probably won't much matter whether McNabb is picking chunks of field-turf out of his facemask or wearing a headset on the sidelines against the Super Bowl champion Packers, who have looked dazzlingly good of late.
Indianapolis Colts (+14) at New Orleans Saints
DR: Saints; HTC: Colts
Expectations changed notably (and quite reasonably) for the Colts when it became clear that Peyton Manning would be missing most-to-all of the season with a neck injury. But even by those revised expectations, Indy disappointed by sleepwalking to a Week 6 loss against Cincinnati in what appeared to be as close to a winnable game as it's likely to see in a while. It could be argued, convincingly, that being disappointed in a team that's down a host of important players says more about the person being disappointed than the team doing the ostensible disappointing. The Saints are a team that feels the weight of expectations much more heavily, since they have looked like a Super Bowl contender all season long. They were spotty and strangely out-of-sorts in their Week 6 loss to Tampa Bay, which doubtless disappointed some. So, in conclusion: Expectations are a funny thing, and the Saints should win this by 105 points.
Monday's Game
Baltimore Ravens (-7.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars
DR: Ravens; HTC: Jaguars
There are teams with worse records. The Rams have scored fewer points, and both the Chiefs and Rams have a larger point differential than the Jags' minus-60 on the season. But that still breaks down to a 1-5 record for a team that scores an average of 12 points per game and allows 22. That the Jaguars have some reason for optimism from rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert and that they played the tougher-than-average Steelers close in Week 6 is what passes for good news there at the moment. It's passably good given preseason expectations. But when that's the best news on tap, it's hard to foresee an outcome in which the Jaguars don't lose this game fairly handily. The Ravens are dinged-up and playing on the road. But that they're playing the Jaguars is pretty good news indeed.

Two hikers reported missing by a family member Wednesday night were found safe and in good spirits on the Flume Trail at about 1:30 a.m. Thursday by rescue personnel.
At about 7:45 a.m. Wednesday Edward Hass dropped April Hass, 14, and Erica Hass, 22, from Centerville, Ohio off at Highway 50 and State Route 28 to hike the Tahoe Rim Trail from Spooner Summit to Tunnel Creek just south of Incline Village.
Edward Hass was expecting them to reach the Tunnel Creek Road area prior to nightfall.
When Erica and April Hass did not reach Tunnel Creek, Edward Hass notified the rangers at Sand Harbor State Park. The park Rangers immediately initiated a limited search and contacted the Washoe County Sheriff's Office.
"What they did is start the hike at State Route 28 and Highway 50 instead of at the trailhead and it took them quite awhile to get to Marlette Peak. Then it got dark," said Sgt. Bob Towery, Washoe County Sheriff's Office public information officer. "They really weren't lost. But since it was dark they stopped and found a place to stay on the Flume Trail."
At about 1:30 a.m., they were located on the Flume Trail approximately 1.5 miles south of Tunnel Creek Road. Both were in good physical condition and spirits when they were located.
Towery said Erica Hass complained of a twisted ankle, she was examined by a paramedic and told it was safe for her to go home.
Thirty-four volunteers from the Sheriff's Hasty Team, the Sheriff's Jeep Squadron, Washoe County Search and Rescue, the Sheriff's Communication Unit, Nevada State Parks, Carson City Sheriff's Search and Rescue and Douglas County Search and Rescue participated in the search effort.
Towery said the two hikers did the right thing by staying in one place when it got dark.
"One of the biggest problems usually is people keep walking around to try and find their way out which makes a search more difficult," he said.

20 years on, Gecko's is a mini-empire
Published: Wednesday, June 6, 2012 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 5, 2012 at 12:50 p.m.
Twenty years ago, friends Mike Quillen and Mike Gowan opened a little neighborhood bar called Gecko's in the then-new Landings shopping center in Sarasota. Now, the two Mikes have five Gecko's and three other bars in their mini-empire, all without losing the neighborhood vibe they strove for two decades ago.
Gecko's 20th anniversary barbecue bash
5 p.m. Thursday
4870 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota
923-8896, geckosgrill.com
"A nice, slow growth-expansion has been the key," explains Quillen. "We're so in touch with the community -- it's one of the things that's helped us get through the past few years. Our guests are our friends, our employees are our heroes, we've grown up here and known each other since we were 10."
Keeping in tune with the neighborhood has been at the heart of Gecko's evolution. What was once a bar is now more of a pub that serves more food than drinks and strives for a more inclusive atmosphere. "In the beginning, we switched off day and night for five years straight," explains Quillen. "We were much more of a bar back then and as we've gotten older and gotten families we've evolved into a family restaurant."
Quillen also cites the growth of craft beer at Gecko's and their expanded use of local produce -- the Mikes work with Honeyside Farm to source Sarasota-grown ingredients as much as possible -- as more evidence of their desire to keep pushing their establishments further.
Some things don't change, however, like The Red Barn on Bee Ridge Road, which the Mikes bought 15 years ago. They then expanded their bar properties with The Rusty Hook and Hurricane Mike's, all modeled on typical neighborhood joints. "We love The Red Barn," says Quillen. "When smoking laws changed we saw a more party atmosphere in the bars. They're townie bars, local bars."
Even with eight local establishments, the Mikes still do not have a centralized office, instead rotating between all of the properties throughout the day to check in and add the personal touch that is expected by their customers and employees, and part of the fun for the two owners.
To celebrate Gecko's 20th birthday, the Mikes will hold a bigger version of their annual birthday barbecue celebration on Thursday. "We cook and smoke a lot of pork for days, put a big spread out for everybody, get the vendors involved," says Quillen.
"This year we're going to take a different twist on it and make a charity part of the deal -- the YMCA Youth Shelter. It's free, but we'll probably ask people to kick in if they can for the shelter."

Friday, Dec. 6, 2013
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- Getting South Carolinians to spend just $5 more a week on local farm products would go a long way toward boosting the state's small farm economy.
That's one of the conclusions of a new report released this week that was commissioned by the state Department of Agriculture. The report examines ways of turning small farms into big business for the state.
The report says that while South Carolinians spend $11 billion on food each year, more than 90 percent of that money goes for food products produced outside the state.
Other suggestions included include getting farms to share food production infrastructure and establishing food hubs to manage the collecting, distribution and marketing of products from individual farms.

They say that history repeats itself. Must be true. Top Rank's signing of four gold medalists from the 2012 London Olympics constitutes the biggest talent grab from a single Olympics since Main Events elevated from a modest mom-and-pop operation to major-player status by skimming the cream from the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Games.
But while there are similarities between what now-deceased Main Events president Dan Duva did 29 years ago – his company's Olympic bonanza included gold medalists Pernell Whitaker, Meldrick Taylor, Mark Breland and Tyrell Biggs, silver medalist Virgil Hill and bronze medalist Evander Holyfield – and what Top Rank founder Bob Arum is undertaking now, there is one very distinct difference.
All of the Main Events Olympians were Americans; the fighters to whom Arum is largely pinning Top Rank's future are from far-flung foreign locales. Chinese flyweight Zou Shiming, Ukrainian featherweight Vasyl Lomachenko, Russian light heavyweight Egor Mekhontsev and Japanese middleweight Ryota Murata all figure to be box-office smashes in and around their own countries, but will their professional boxing careers also hit big in the United States? Do they even have to?
"The world is shrinking," Arum, who turned 82 on Dec. 8, said of Top Rank's expansion into emerging and expectedly profitable markets. "It's not necessarily a global strategy on our part, but I guess it is to some extent.
"We could have continued doing what we had been doing, which is to put fights on in the United States with primarily American and Mexican fighters. And, indeed, we will continue to do that. But then I saw the opportunity to extend our reach all over the world, particularly with the Chinese fighters (Top Rank has three others, all non-Olympians, under contract.) There is a hunger for our product in places like China. We're already attracting tremendous turnouts in Macau. Pacquiao-Rios will be our third event there, and our biggest by far."
Nobody has to explain to Arum about the necessity for a profitable bottom line. And if it's good business to take Top Rank's show on the road – really distant roads, at that – his passport is going to continue getting stamped. What was the credo that led Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to break the Watergate story wide open? Follow the money.
"The reason all the big boxing shows pretty much drifted to Las Vegas was because boxing attracts gaming," Arum said. "But Macau is Las Vegas on steroids. It now does nine times the business of all the casinos in Nevada. When you realize that, it's a no-brainer for us to establish a presence in China."
Somewhat interestingly, two-time gold medalist Zou Shiming, the cornerstone of Top Rank's China policy, is widely regarded as having the least upside, at least from a boxing standpoint, of the four Olympic champions who will fight under the company's banner. But his popularity in his homeland is such that his to-date bumpy transition from the amateurs to the pros probably doesn't matter much.
"The bigger-weight guys (Lomachenko, Mekhontsev and Murata), I think, will translate well to the United States when they fight in the United States," Arum continued. "But their succeeding here is not the be-all and end-all. I mean, look at (middleweight champion Gennady) Golovkin. People in America and everywhere else want to watch him because he's a tremendous, very entertaining fighter. Ruslan Provodnikov, Art Pelullo's fighter, same thing. These Eastern European kids are real warriors."
The most advanced, pro-ready of Arum's 2012 gold medalists is Lomachenko, 25,who also took gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Lomachenko posted an insane 396-1-1 record as an amateur, and he turned pro by scoring a fourth-round knockout of Mexico's Jose Ramirez, who entered with a 25-3 record and had not previously been stopped as a pro. Negotiations are in progress to have Lomachenko challenge WBO 126-pound titlist Orlando Salido (40-12-2, 28 KOs) in January.
"Lomachenko, to me, is the most interesting of the Top Rank Olympians because he's simply the best," said Teddy Atlas, who is familiar with them all, having commented on the last four Olympic boxing competitions for NBC. "He's a versatile fighter, but more importantly, he's a real fighter. He's a fighter in every way. I have it in my mind that he's going to knock Salido out. Lomachenko can fight inside, he can fight outside, he can box, he can use his legs, he can counter a little bit. He's intelligent in the ring. And, obviously, he has supreme confidence that he can become just what he says he will."

Lakeland Commission Rejects Bid to Stop Plan to Change Pension System
Published: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 2:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 2:50 p.m.
LAKELAND | City Attorney Tim McCausland still has a chance to join a traditional pension plan.
City commissioners voted 5-2 against a motion on Monday by Commissioner Justin Troller that would have stopped a push by city officials and McCausland to change his pension plan.
Commissioners are now expected to vote on the change March 4.
The change would allow McCausland and 22 other city employees currently in a 401(a) plan to change to a more traditional defined-benefit plan. McCausland, 62, would be the only employee currently eligible. Employees would need to be at least 52 and have 10 years of service with the city to exchange the 401(a) plan for the more traditional defined-benefit plan. None of the other 22 employees meet that criteria yet.
McCausland, starting at age 65, wants a yearly payout of more than $110,000 if he invests between $800,000 and $1 million of his own money. McCausland is paid a yearly salary of $181,105.
After the meeting, Troller said the drive to change the pension plan has lowered morale among city employees and angered Lakeland residents. Troller made his motion before the first reading of the change.
"I don't see why we should drag it through another two weeks," Troller said. "It's a waste of time."
Commissioner Keith Merritt voted with Troller.
He said after the meeting that he's received dozens of emails and phone calls from people against the change.
"My personal and professional feelings about Tim are very positive," Merritt said. "I don't see this as an ordinance designed for Tim McCausland. It is designed for everyone except for the common employee."
Commissioner Don Selvage said Troller made some good points in his motion.
But Selvage, who has concerns with the proposed plan, voted against the motion because he said commissioners have said they will vote on the matter.
"We promised everyone a full hearing," Selvage said. "I'm willing to painfully let it go through another two weeks."

The population of pet cats in the United States has exceeded that of dogs, so that there are about 64 million cats kept as pets, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, Greenwich, Conn.
