Winter 2011-2012 Summary for Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia
This past winter was marked by much warmer temperatures than recent winters, and it will also go down as one of the top 10 driest as well. The La Nina conditions in the Pacific Ocean contributed to a weaker and farther northward displacement of the jet stream, and this was one of the reasons a dry winter was observed over much of the Southeastern U.S. The positive phases of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Arctic Oscillation (AO) also kept arctic airmasses well entrenched across Canada, which worked in combination with the northward displacement of the jet stream to only bring brief cold air outbreaks to southeast Georgia and northeast Florida this winter.
This winter climate summary will be based on climate observations from December 2011 through February 2012 which is defined as a meteorological winter. The four climate stations used for this report are: Jacksonville, FL (records since 1871), Gainesville, FL (records since 1890), Alma, GA (records since 1948) and St Simons Island, GA (records since 1948).
The average temperatures for this past winter were about 3 to 4 degrees above normal and were marked by significant stretches of above normal temperatures with several days of highs into the 80s. In fact, all the climate stations reached the middle 80s on February 24th when both Alma and St. Simons Island came within one degree of reaching all-time winter record highs. There were a few brief intrusions of cold air this season, but overall the number of freeze events ended up being below normal. Widepsread hard freeze events occurred on the mornings of January 4th and February 13th with temperature readings into the upper teens and lower 20s at many inland locations.

Precipitation amounts were well below normal across the region as the jet stream remained to the north for most of the winter. This resulted in weaker frontal precipitation events and did not provide much of the way of any severe weather. In fact, only 2 days this winter recorded rainfall amounts of one inch or more at the climate stations; December 12th and February 19th. The below normal precipitation amounts came in line with the forecast of La Nina conditions across the Pacific continuing the moderate to severe drought conditions across northeast Florida and southeast Georgia.

We reported on our website that Yamaha Watercraft Group has a new program in which PWC dealers can use their co-op funds with no out-of-pocket expense. For every dollar in their fund, they can spend 50 cents on television advertising. Below is a Yamaha dealer's response to the article. Yamaha, in turn, declined to comment on his response. — ed.
At Yamaha's dealer show, we were asked to order 15 to 20 percent more product than we sold in model year 2008, just to reach Level 2. We had to order another 10 percent on top of that to reach Level 1 (dealers who reach the top level pay 20 percent of approved advertising bills, while co-op funds last).
Both Mark Speaks, president of the Watercraft Group, and Bryan Seti, the group's national marketing manager, were sure that the 2009 model year was going to be great. Many dealers did not agree with their forecasts. Keep in mind this was in August 2008, before the economy took a nosedive.
My store has consistently been one of the top 50 dealers in the country, and we thought the forecasts were way out of line. If a dealer did not order at least 90 percent of what the geniuses at Yamaha asked for, there was NO co-op to be had, among other benefits. I believe there are many dealers who have no co-op funds due to Yamaha's overly optimistic forecasts.
I wish I could tell my good, loyal, longtime customers what they had to order each year, but it doesn't work that way. And by the way, if Mr. Speaks and Mr. Seti haven't noticed, we have had a slight business slowdown recently. Of course, they wouldn't because, in my opinion, neither one has a clue as to what goes on day to day in a personal watercraft dealership. — Jack O'Neill, owner, Action Kawasaki Yamaha, Bradenton, Fla.
Great job on the 2008 Top 100 issue (March). I like the quick articles at the end going over some of the various dealers' ideas. — Scott Lukaitis, parts and accessories manager, Freehold Honda Triumph, Freehold, N.J.

I never had these before so I ordered 2 of them. Wish I'd have gotten MORE. Very nice taste and crunchy treat.
I ordered a few the first time. They were perfect. Then I made the mistake and ordered 30 of them to give to my friends, and well they were stuck together, and not tasty at all. I had to apologize, over many times when my friends told me this...so embarrassed....:(

Cold Chains are Hot! Mastering the Challenges of Temperature
- March 2005
- 35 Pages
- Chainlink Research
Tsunami, hurricane, landslides -- in responding to the needs of the victims of these natural disasters, the effective delivery of food, pharmaceuticals and life saving products are now in the spotlight. Supply challenges related to transportation,infrastructure and other issues require careful planning and coordination.
And even in normal circumstances this "extreme" supply chain needs careful attention. Variations in temperature, humidity, altitude – all factors that can transform modern medical miracles into useless materials! Billions of dollars spent in research; manufacturing and FDA approval are at risk as these products move through the global chain of custody from supply to demand. The stakes are high – brand integrity, customer confidence and market share are all at risk in the fragile Cold Chain.
Securing the Cold Chain requires innovation, collaboration and communication, ensuring that each of the critical links in the chain understands product storage and handling requirements. Advanced technologies, to include sensors, RFID, wireless and wired networks are all potential components of a Future Forward model that will ensure an ongoing 'portable record' of each product throughout its lifecycle. Information related to the 'state' of the product is critical – remedy and control are required to ensure that product is not compromised or contaminated.
USING '3Pe' TO GUIDE YOUR PATH AHEAD
The combination of enhanced Policy, Process, Performance and Enablers provides the key to success for Cold Chain management. Leveraging technologies that have been pioneered in the Food industry, it is possible to create a Cold Chain infrastructure that understands and prepares for the constraints of Cold Chain distribution. The case for action is compelling – lives are at stake! The ROI proposition is straightforward. SHOW LESS READ MORE >

Post subject: I need help choosing a pram!!!
I need help choosing a pram I want something quite small from birth, this is my 2nd baby and with the first I had a big travel system which i hardly ever used, I dont walk much most of the journeys are short or in the car and I do still have my first daughters if needed for a longer walk. I would like a nice car seat which fits on a chassis and if it comes with either the pushchair or carrycot thats a bonus. I am stuck which car seats fit which chassis. I did like the lunamix but i'm not keen on how the carseat goes on with the buggy attached at the same time.
The pram I would like quite small easy to fit in boot etc and take on holidays and I would love something nice and sleek looking for a reasonable price, I dont fancy paying around 700 again for something that hardly got used.

Steampunk GPS MAY 04 2009
Christopher Fahey on the watchclock, a device built to keep track of the movements of night watchmen.
The mechanism itself has barely changed for a century: although some more recent models incorporate GPS and other technologies, the mechanical key-based watchclock system is still in wide usage, with many buildings still employing the same keys and the same clockwork devices they've used since the 1940s. It's a genuine example of an "if it aint broke, don't fix it" kind of technology.

I notice that the The Events Plugin widget can be set to NOT display in the sidebar if no upcoming events are available. That's great but the plugin still places an empty list item (li) into the sidebar.
This can be a pain since styling the list items (such as horizontal rules or whatever) will cause an empty sidebar area to show up with no content. Hence, there might be two horizontal rules (one for the empty Upcoming Events list item and then a second rule immediately below for the next sidebar list item that has content).
Seems like a much better approach to have no list item appear at all if there are no upcoming events.

By Katie Murdoch Enterprise editor
MILL CREEK — An organization geared toward fighting canine cancer and another that provides funding to train dogs and horses for the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office are the beneficiaries of a community fundraiser slated for next spring or early summer.
Bill McElroy, Mill Creek Rotary Club president, and Janet Berwick, owner of the pet supply store Paddywack, are leading efforts to organize the first Dog Walk at Willis Tucker Park, 6705 Puget Park Drive, Snohomish.
"This (walk) will attract people wanting to save the K-9 unit or for someone whose pet died from cancer," McElroy said.
"It'll be a walk in the park," said Rotary member Bob Collard, who handles public relations for the organization. "It will benefit the greater Snohomish County and not just Mill Creek."
An organizational meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m. Aug. 27 at Mill Creek City Hall, 15728 Main St. Community members interested in volunteering for the event are encouraged to attend. For more information, contact McElroy at 425 483-2169 or email@example.com.
"We are looking to engage a group of motivated volunteers to assist in making this event successful," Berwick said. "Our goal is to establish a 'template' to create an annual event focused on fundraising as well as offering a fun-filled day for the community and their dogs."
"It's important to get the community active raising money and doing volunteer work for a great cause," McElroy said.
Organizers are thinking of hosting a four-hour walk with teams, event T-shirts, a pet costume contest and gifts for donors.
McElroy said the idea was inspired by a Humane Society fundraiser in Oregon that raised roughly $238,000 by hosting a walk for dogs and their owners.
"Eight or nine of our members went to it and said, 'We need to do this,'" he said.
For their agency, Rotary members selected Everett-based Pennies for Puppies and Ponies. Sheriff John Lovick and Sheriff Emeritus Robert Bart are board members.
The nonprofit helps the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office pay for police and service dogs and police horses. Contributions cover the cost for new dogs, food, equipment and veterinary bills.
Lovick said the Sheriff's Office isn't considering cutting the K-9 unit; however, fundraisers have helped with associated costs like food and veterinary bills.
"It's very much appreciated," he said.
Lovick said the value of police and service canines is known around the world. Canines have a few advantages over officers — they can fit into smaller spaces, and sniff out drugs and suspects.
"We want to be the finest Sheriff's Office in the state and this will help us better serve the public," Lovick said. "Bottom line, I'm just elated."
Paddywack's Berwick has her sights set on Chase Away Cancer, a campaign by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) Foundation. The Colorado-based Chase Away Cancer was created in 2000 to support specialists in the ACVIM who treat small and large animals and research diseases like cancer that can afflict animals.
"Having lost a dog to cancer myself and knowing so many friends and customers that have experienced the same, I was sold on the mission of the organization and have been a strong supporter ever since," she said.

2. What is the application deadline?
December 1
3. What are the admissions requirements?
Students admitted through the ABBS programs must have an undergraduate degree in biological or physical sciences and must have completed course work in mathematics (through calculus), chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology. Students can be admitted with course deficiencies under some circumstances. Students who already have an MS degree are encouraged to apply.
4. How do I apply?
All applications must be submitted through the University of Arizona Graduate College online application system. Follow the "apply now" link above.

6. Is research experience required for admission?
We highly recommend, though it is not required, that students have previous undergraduate research experience before applying.

Following rotations you will join a lab and one of the associated PhD programs. To better understand your goals, on the application we will ask you about your present interests and objectives. This information does not affiliate you with a specific department or graduate program.

If a student entering through the ABBS already has a firm idea about a research area and graduate program, the student is welcome to focus their rotations with faculty affiliated with that program and begin their core curriculum requirements.
9. How many application fees do I need to pay?
One. Applying to the ABBS requires just a single application fee.
10. Will I need to pay for my graduate education?
No. Students admitted to the ABBS and subsequent individual graduate programs will be fully supported. Tuition and insurance premiums are also covered.
11. Do I need to take the TOEFL?
If you are a US citizen, have a degree from a university in the US, or if your native language is English, then you are exempt from taking the TOEFL. If you are an international student whose first language is not English and do not have a degree from a University in the US, then you are required to take the TOEFL. Scores must be from a TOEFL test that was taken no more than two years ago. Detailed exceptions from the TOEFL can be found on the Graduate College website.

The YES! (Youth Energy Summit) Team is in the process of using some of its award monies obtained last spring toward the installation of two Elkay EZH20 Bottle Filling Stations for Sleepy Eye Public and St. Mary's Schools.
The retro fit design works with a standard drinking fountain so that students, staff and visitors can fill water bottles rather than buying plastic water bottles that may not be recycled and/or are placed in the trash, ending up in the landfill.
The hydration station has a visual filter monitor, and fill rate of 1.1-1.5 gpm's. The YES! Team plans to use its feature of a green ticker, that informs the users of the number of 16 oz. bottles saved from landfills.
Sleepy Eye Public's station is located on the first floor across from the high school administration offices so there is easy and quick access for the public and the athletes and fans alike using the gym and for students and staff throughout the day and evening activities.
The public's hydration station was installed by Schanus Plumbing and Heating Inc. of New Ulm volunteering time to support the YES! team's project. St. Mary's fountain will be installed by a local plumbing company in the near future.
The students and staff of both schools are excited to have the hydration stations available for use for clean, filtered water and easy use for water bottle filling.

Foreign minister Bob Carr explains the value of unions to his party:
"They keep us in touch with the reality of the suburban street, the country town, with the aspirations of ordinary Australians."
You really need unions for that, Bob?
UPDATE. Prime Minister Julia Gillard clearly appreciates the views of former Australian Workers Union official Ralph Blewitt:
So it's going to come down to Mr Blewitt's word against me. Who is he? He's a man who has publicly said he was involved in fraud. He is a man who has sought immunity from prosecution. He has fled Indonesia to avoid a police interview in relation to land fraud, although he denies wrongdoing in the case. He says he owes money on another land deal. He admits to using the services of prostitutes in Asia. He has published lewd and degrading comments and accompanying photographs of young women on his Facebook page. According to people know him, he has been described as a complete imbecile, an idiot, a stooge, a sexist pig, a liar and his sister has said he's a crook and rotten to his core. His word against mine – make your mind up.
Have Your Say
What does Carr care about country towns?

What does Carr care about country towns?
What does Carr care about country towns?
Lots apparently. That's why he retains his property in New Zealand.
The unions kept the electorate "informed about da evil work choices" by spending about 26 million bucks on a series of ads portraying fake situations, not the reality that Carr suggests.
This was essential to the defeat of the nasty-we-hates-it Howard government, which has led to the Back To The Future IR Fudge, so the unions may continue to act as custodians of truth, liberty and members funds.

What he means is they keep the ALP in touch with the bank accounts of ordinary Australians, who part with a little of their hard-earned to defend them from the Evil Capitalists they tell them will steal the fruits of their labour and still send their children down the mines like they did 150 years ago. To save them from all this, they convince them to pay up, so that the HSU, AWU, etc can hire smart people like Short Willy, who has never had to toil in the Dark Satanic Mills like they do, and pay the expenses of the ALP. It's an efficient model - it saves them having to bother with actual members. I was one once. Once I realised I was redundant to the party, I left.
This pretentious word-clown really is beyond the pale.
I've never understood the media's fawning fascination for this man.
I find him neither witty nor learned much less amusing or insightful. Glib posturing,yes! Gold medal.
The fact is he is just another embarrassment for Australians to cringe over whenever he articulates his baritone b.s. - his penchant for supporting all things Palestinian, his track record of achieving nothing, his inability to drive a car, his unmanly physique complete with Milk Arrowroot biscuit shoulders etc.
Pulling Carr out of moth balls for another go round was a huge blunder - he has absolutely nothing to recommend him.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (06:54am)
Mon 26 Nov 12 (08:43am)
Bob Carr - the ugly Australian version of Joe Biden.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (08:48am)
I think it's because he was a journo. Pure and simple. They love to see one of their own kind making it big. I call him Dioxin Bob.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (09:52am)
Well said. The media may be gullible enough to buy the public image that he alone has fabricated from an equal mix of ostentation and affectation, but most everyone else can see through the facade.
So that's what's wrong with Labor. That's why they are clueless about the working class. Bad information Bob.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (06:57am)
Perhaps Carr has lost touch with reality himself. He's certainly lost touch with his own government, if you could call it that, on foreign policy.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (07:09am)
Mon 26 Nov 12 (11:10am)
How strange that a fellow, who believes that his perception of fellow Australians is solely through his union contacts, should seek to represent Australians as an unelected cabinet minister.
Likewise, Bob Carr has a Matchbox car (Vauxhall Cresta) so that he understands the needs of motorists.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (07:47am)
The old windbag should never have been given another bite at the cherry (his dream job no less) after his pompous, spin-driven stint as Premier.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (08:10am)
Carr is a buffoon.
Go to any country town (and most other places) and see how much time its residents have for unions.
Australians shortly will be clamouring for the real reason Carr was handed a ministerial position by Gillard; it obviously has nothing to do with any talent.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (08:18am)
And those who are not members of the unions, especially those who have left the movement in droves, do they get a hearing? Of course not, the ALP is a party of the unions, for the unions, run by unionist hacks.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (08:47am)
Well I certainly aspire to trouser hundreds of thousands of dollars of other peoples hard earned, to spend as I see fit , so I'm right with you there Bobby boy!
Mon 26 Nov 12 (08:54am)
Bob Carr has always had this effected air of intellectual superiority. It impresses the political media, which has remained in awe of the man for almost two decades.
But as his short tenure as foreign minister has shown, it is a facade. He is thrashing about, unable to reconcile his role as the nation's global ambassador with his personal need to deliver rehearsed, highbrow one-liners to a besotted press gallery or think aloud about things he seemingly knows nothing about.
Our worst foreign minister in living memory.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (09:33am)
Mon 26 Nov 12 (03:22pm)
You're forgetting what Rudd was like. And so soon, too.
They also help to get people elected, from behind closed doors. Unions do have a place, a little less than when they were created, but still a place. However, let us be sure about their processes as we go forward, a review of their clout in our lives is long over due.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (09:50am)
Remind me again what percentage of the working population is in a union? 15%? Less?
By Carr's reckoning, that leaves A LOT of Australians that Labor is completely out of touch with!!!
Mon 26 Nov 12 (09:53am)
Yes, well, it would seem that Don't Drive Carr only ever flies (business class, of course!) over suburban streets and country towns - making it fractionally more understandable than otherwise that he should suggest relying on 'Ordinary Australian Aspiration' intel from humble workers' (Qantas?) club members such as ('Careful, it's Not Safe for us Labor Voters to Gather in Public - Get Me to the Birdcage!') Paul Howes and ('Where's My F&*king Hot Pie - Do You Know I Only Make Over $300,000 a Year?!!') Bill Shorten.
So we must be more understanding of his aspiration for humility.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (09:56am)
Bob's not listening. Too busy talking.
Not talking any sense but not listening.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (10:48am)
The real value of unions to the ALP is the millions of dollars they raise to fund Labor election campaigns, the pressure they can apply to employers (and employees) to keep quiet about Labor government follies and failings, and the instant "rent-a-crowds" they can muster to demonstrate against Labor's political opponents.
This gives the ALP a serious advantage over any other party.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (10:52am)
"with the aspirations of ordinary Australians."
There must be an argument now to actually call unionists the protected elite.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (11:19am)
Yeah Bob, union leaders such as Williams and Thomson were very concerned about the aspirations of ordinary Australians.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (11:37am)
Mon 26 Nov 12 (01:39pm)
There you have the true value of modern day unions. They are cash cows for the Labor party and the officials who seem to feel 'entitled' to help themselves to what is in the 'kitty'. The real problem is that some of them just don't know when to stop. As pilfering on a grand scale emerges, doesn't it seem odd to everyone why the unions won't go after the money ? Could it be that putting all unions under scrutiny would turn up corruption on a scale they could not recover from ?
They keep us in touch with ways how to rip off the workers. But some members of the ALP don't nened the unions to teach them how to do that.
Mon 26 Nov 12 (12:25pm)
Keeps Labor in touch with union members' hard earned dues.
Just who would he have contact with? Common folk? Hardly.
Union officialdom these days is a bunch of uni politicians graduating to careers of s**t stiring in the greater cause of world revolution. The members? The ordinary Australians? Grist for the mill. Useful only so far as they can be exploited.

The holidays provide us time for relaxation and reflection. 2013 was a great year! Our talented ambassador corps logged thousands of miles attending festivals. Virginia Wine Club President Stewart Reynolds and I had the privilege to touring and tasting the best of the Old Dominion.
Our often unsung back office staff kept Stewart and me on task and on time with a multiplicity of deadlines and commitments. Trust me when I say, without Xen's proofreading prowess, readers would find countless errors in the VWJ.
When all is said and done, you are the reason we do what we do. I treasure each of your emails (even when they disagree) because it means together we are expanding the footprint of Virginia wine.
I am grateful for your membership, your willingness to agree (and disagree) and your understanding that we are all different. God bless us every one.
And as always, THANK YOU for allow me to be a small part of you Virginia Wine Journey.
Respectfully Submitted,
Neil Williamson
Editor, Virginia Wine Journal

News 12 First at Five / Friday, May 17, 2013
Deputy Alton Creech (WRDW-TV)
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- "Stuff like this shouldn't happen to people like him," friend Christian Weathers said.
He's talking about longtime friend and Deputy Alton Creech, an everyday hero who lost the battle fighting for his life after a motorcycle accident on I-20.
"He's just a really outstanding guy, definitely a deputy that loved his job," Weathers said.
Creech was a Richmond County deputy, and according to Sheriff Richard Roundtree, one of the most skilled motorcycle riders in town.
"Alton is not a novice rider. He rides for a living. He is a proficient driver. So that lets people know that these accidents can happen to anybody," Roundtree said.
It's a tragedy that's breaking the hearts of citizens and colleagues alike.
"That's what makes this time so difficult. Again, it's not just one of your employees, it's a person you consider your friend," Roundtree said.
On Thursday night, dozens showed up for a candlelight vigil outside the hospital to honor a person who would do anything for anybody. People were leaving notes of encouragement, just trying to return the favor.
"Last night, so many officers responded and just stayed, and just stayed, and just stayed, sending out prayers hoping he'll recover," Roundtree said.
Before news of his death, Roundtree remembered Creech's joy, "I always saw him with a smile on his face and that's what I'm looking forward to seeing again."
"He is still one hell of an officer," Weathers told News 12.
Late this afternoon, Columbia County deputies completed the investigation into the crash. They say Creech crashed as exit traffic backed up onto the interstate.
For the bikers in the area, a group will ride on Friday night in honor of Deputy Creech. They're meeting at the true I-Konz Clubhouse downtown. They meet at 7 p.m. Kickstands go up at 7:45. They plan on cruising to the hospital and back to the clubhouse.

U.S. Drug Use: No. 1 (of 17 Countries)
The U.S. ranks first in the world in drug use, according to several recent headlines. But these were based on a World Health Organization study of just 17 countries — which is like saying Minnesota is the best state in the U.S., based on a ranking of four states.
"Probably the data is good and the analysis is good," Lloyd Johnston, who helps administer a respected U.S. drug survey but wasn't involved in the WHO study, told me. "How much that represents what is happening across the world is another question."
Even getting 17 countries to participate in a standardized measure of drug usage was an achievement. Prior United Nations attempts to rank countries by drug usage attempted to reconcile occasional household surveys with perceptions of experts and officials. These didn't always agree. "It can be argued that it is harder to report against a long-standing and generally accepted trend — in this case the trend of virtually universal increases in cannabis
use over the last decade," last year's World Drug Report noted. "Such perceptions do not change easily, even when new data, for instance from household surveys, would appear to indicate an improving situation."
To go beyond these limited data sources, researchers in the 17 countries — with funding from national governments, the U.N. and private sources — used standardized interviewing techniques to estimate substance use. Among the 17 countries — seven from Europe, three from the Americas, two from Asia, four from the Middle East and Africa and one from Oceania — the U.S. ranked first in the percentage of people who had used cannabis at some point (42.4%), though runner-up New Zealand (41.9%) was within the margin of error. The U.S. was also the leader in cocaine use (16.2% have used at least once). New Zealand was a distant No. 2 (4.3%).
For some countries, this was their first representative survey of drug use, according to study co-author Louisa Degenhardt, professor of epidemiology at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. Still, most of the countries included were relatively wealthy — 10 of the 17 ranked in the top 30 of the U.N.'s latest compilation of GDP per capita. "It takes more resources and more capacity to do this kind of work," Prof. Degenhardt told me. "There are so many countries where we don't know what's going on." Since the study was published, five more countries have completed surveys, including Australia; another 12 are expected to come on board, including India.
The study also ranked countries by rates of drug use at some point in respondents' lives, which may be different than the levels of active use. Though Americans had the highest rate of lifetime tobacco and cannabis use in the study, American students rank lower than their counterparts in nearly all of the 35 European countries that participated in a 2003 study. A half-dozen countries also ranked higher than the U.S. in marijuana usage among students. "I believe these data," Prof. Johnston said of the European study. "But I also believe [the WHO's] data. It's a case of looking at different parts of the elephant."
Prof. Degenhardt said the current study reflects "who has had the opportunity to use these different drugs." Future analyses will compare countries based on recent drug use.

Jonathan Martin spent nearly seven hours going into "great detail" with the NFL counsel investigating his claims of his harassment in the Miami Dolphins' locker room. What came up in their talks, he isn't saying for now.
He would say this: He still wants to play in the NFL.
Martin -- in New York because the league is trying to gather information about the bullying he says he was subjected to by teammate Richie Incognito -- arrived at the Manhattan office building of special investigator Ted Wells on Friday morning, and didn't emerge until shortly after sunset. Mobbed by media, he stood in the camera lights and read a statement.
"Although I went into great detail with Mr. Ted Wells and his team, I do not intend to discuss this matter publicly at this time," the former Stanford tackle said. "This is the right way to handle the situation.
"Beyond that, I look forward to working through the process and resuming my career in the National Football League."
Seahawks: Receiver Percy Harvin likely will make his long-awaited debut for Seattle on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Harvin hasn't played since a Nov. 4, 2012, game against the Seahawks while he was with the Vikings. An ankle injury ended Harvin's season, and a hip issue this offseason required surgery in August.
Vikings: Christian Ponder says he is ready to play against Seattle. Coach Leslie Frazier said, however, he would wait until Saturday to see how Ponder's injured left shoulder feels before he decides on a starting quarterback.
Bills: Buffalo wide receiver Stevie Johnson has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Jets because of a groin injury.
Jets: Santonio Holmes will play at Buffalo on Sunday after the wide receiver missed five games with a hamstring injury.
Obituary: Hall of Fame offensive lineman Mike McCormack died Friday in Palm Desert. He was 83. During his nearly 50 years in pro football, McCormack played, coached and held several executive positions, including president of the Carolina Panthers. He spent 12 seasons with the Cleveland Browns, helping the franchise win NFL championships in 1954 and 1955.

A Whitman's Sampler of Job-Report Indicators, Most of Which Are Rotten
Now that we've got the August ISM number, the next big event for markets is tomorrow's job report. We're on a streak of better than expected economic data recently. Can jobs keep the string alive? It sure doesn't seem likely.
Here's a look, courtesy of Ian Lyngen at CRT Capital, at all of the labor-market indicators on the dashboard, most of which are pointing in the wrong direction.
Negative Indicators:
1.ADP's payroll report was lower than expected at 91,000, down from 109,000 in July.
2. The Labor Department's Strike Report rose by 46,300 in August, largely due to striking Verizon workers.
3. The gap between consumers who say jobs are "plentiful" and those who see jobs as "hard to get" stretched to -44.4 from -39.7 in July, according to the Conference Board's latest survey.
4. The Philadelphia Fed's monthly employment index Employment fell to -5.2 from 8.9 in July.
5. The Liscio Report forecasts payrolls to rise just 25,000 and unemployment to hold at 9.1%.
6. The employment index in the ISM manufacturing survey fell to 51.8 from 53.5 in July.
7. Continuing unemployment claims rose to 3.753 million for the jobs-report survey week, compared with 3.719 million in July.
8. Seasonal factors: "Historically over the last 14 years, the NFP released in September (August's data) has a strong bias to surprise on the downside – disappointing 64% of the time with an average miss of -63k. The report less frequently surprises to the upside at 36% of the time with gains vs. consensus very modest with an average of +19k. Less dramatically, the unemployment rate has historically had a modest bias to surprise higher 36% vs. lower 28%. When the rate comes in higher it has averaged +0.22% while on the downside the miss tend to be -0.15%," Mr. Lyngen writes.
Positive Indicators:
1. Initial jobless claims fell to 417,000 in the survey week in August from 422,000 in July. The four-week moving average of claims was at 407,750 in August vs. 422,250 in July.
2. The Chicago PMI's Employment index rose 0.6 points to 52.1 – "stabilizing at recent lows," writes Mr. Lyngen.
3. Challenger Gray & Christmas layoff announcements are up 47% from a year ago, less awful than the 59.4% increase in July.
4. The Empire State Employment index rose 2 points to 3.26 – also stabilizing at recent lows.

4 Washington agencies team up to nab duct tape bandit
REDMOND, Wash. — Police in Edmonds, Poulsbo, Stanwood and Redmond are teaming up to track a man who has robbed four banks in Western Washington in three months.
The robber, who authorities are calling the "duct tape bandit," has shown a handgun and demanded money at the banks. Police say a customer and an employee were assaulted in Stanwood.
He's called the duct tape bandit because he wore a piece of black duct tape across his nose and face during all four robberies. The banks and Crime Stoppers are offering a total reward of $8,000 for information that leads to the capture and conviction of someone.

The SPAM was queued up in the pipeline with glee in the hope that
some replies Roy would soon see. (He was ignored, as usual BTW)
With his 'boi' at the whorehouse and Mark Kent smoking grass, Roy had
settled down to play with his ass.
When out on the lawn Roy heard such a clatter, he dropped the KY to
see what's the matter!
Then out on the lawn Roy saw a big dick (no it wasn't Willy Poaster),
Roy knew in a minute it must be Saint Nick!
He came down the chimney like a bat out of hell, Roy knew in a minute
the old ****er fell.
He filled all the stockings with pretzels and beer and a big rubber
dildo for Thumper the queer.
As he rose up the chimney with a thunderous fart, the ****er blew the
fireplace apart!
He swore and cursed as he rode out of sight, Linux sucks dick,,, and

'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Recap: Season 1, Episode 11, 'The Magical Place'
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is too big for just one person to recap, so Speakeasy assembled its own superhero team – WSJ video wiz Marshall Crook and reporter Michael Calia – to review (and argue about) the new ABC series each week.
Feel free to join in on the action and leave your thoughts in the comments section.
MIKE: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is back after nearly a month of hiatus, and it looks like this could be a Huge Episode.
Could this be it? Could this be the week we find out what happened to Agent Coulson after Loki stabbed him in "The Avengers"? Maybe we won't get that specific answer, but it'll clear up a lot about it if that opening is any indication.
MARSHALL: It could be, but methinks they'll drag it out a bit more. Though for an episode opening they could have done much worse. I liked seeing the team clicking with each member having a specific role to play. True, Fitz/Simmons are more than just mini-drone pilots but at least they have slick all-black uniforms now.
MIKE: And of course Skye's going to be the source of the secondary conflict. Agent Victoria Hand, who's running the mission to take down Centipede (and try to get back Coulson, maybe), kicks her off The Bus, leaving her to create all sorts of cyber mischief on the ground. That's probably what Melinda May was trying to make happen when she told Hand that Skye was no use on the Bus.
MARSHALL: Boy, for as much as they don't trust her, S.H.I.E.L.D. seems strangely comfortable with letting her out into the world. I guess her security bracelet is some sort of fail-safe, but it reeks of plot necessity and not actual logic on the part of a world-class spy organization.
MIKE: Well, this is an organization that advertises its logo on flash bombs to infiltrate bad guy meeting places.
MARSHALL: Wait, I think that was Rob Huebel of "Human Giant" who just got out of that SUV. I guess his character Lloyd Rathman will be be Skye's target this episode?
MIKE: Yep, and Skye just stole his SUV.
MARSHALL: So we learn that Centipede has taken Coulson to an un-used nuclear testing town in the desert somewhere: "The Town that the Bomb Forgot." This gives e flashbacks to the nasty remake of "The Hills Have Eyes."
MIKE: Not to mention the nuked fridge scene from "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Why do you think Centipede is holding Coulson in this dusty relic of the nuclear age?
MARSHALL: Because it's cool art design? So rather than hunting Centipede franchises all over the globe, Skye has decided to follow the money. She suspects Rob Huebel to have some financial connection to the Centipede organization. I like her gumption but it's strange that S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't also have someone doing this. They figured out how to work the Cosmic Cube! They can't check a bank account. Oh well, I guess that's why they should keep Skye around.
MIKE: All right, so The Clairvoyant has decided the Raina, "the girl in the flower dress," is his/her favorite now, as he/she dispatches Edison Poe through a cellphone signal. I guess Coulson's torture was not going according to plan, and it's time to use some softer persuasion to get Coulson to give up the secret of how he was resurrected in Tahiti. A ha! Use the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. is keeping it secret from Coulson to get him on Centipede's side. Crafty!
MARSHALL: I found it interesting that Agent Hand herself doesn't fully grasp Coulson's significance. And, frankly, neither do we. Whatever happened to Coulson after Loki "killed him" seemed to elevate his value to the S.H.I.E.L.D. upper-echelon. I don't think this is just because he's chummy with the Avengers. But Centipede recognizes it.
I keep coming back to what happened in the pilot episode.
MIKE: You remember that? Help me out here …
MARSHALL: After Michael Peterson kicked open an SUV door and sent careening through the air. Agents went flying except Coulson, who gracefully bent backwards and avoided decapitation.
MIKE: Ah, yes, as if he were superhuman, or robotic.
MARSHALL: Exactly. I just wonder if they weren't planting the seed early on: This guy got some kind of upgrade to body, mind, etc.
MIKE: Makes sense, but I wonder what S.H.I.E.L.D. is trying to accomplish by having him out there in the field as if everything were normal.
And now it looks like Skye has been able to use Rathman to track down Raina. Mission accomplished? Maybe not, if Raina keeps working on Coulson's emotions like this, taunting him about a past love that thinks he's dead.
MARSHALL: This is getting interesting. Coulson has identified his Pavlovian response to "Tahiti" and has opted to get into Centipede's brain-reading device to dig for his buried memories. I like the idea of Coulson potentially losing faith in S.H.I.E.L.D. That was major theme in The Avengers and has been teased in the "Captain America: Winter Soldier" trailer.
MIKE: Yes, so maybe the big reveal of Marvel's "Phase 2″ movies is that S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to go down. And yet, I have a hard time believing that Nick Fury would be one of the rotten apples, and he's the one who apparently ordered Coulson's "visit" to Tahiti.
Still, if the resolution of this season is merely meant to tie into the next "Captain America" movie, it'll all add up to a mere "Be Sure To Drink Your Ovaltine" moment. Yeah, sure, I should have seen this coming — all that synergy in the Marvel cinematic universe — but I'd love for this show to have its own payoffs, too.
MARSHALL: I will admit I did not expect to see, once the Tahiti facade dissolved, Coulson looking like Ray Liotta in "Hannibal," screaming "Let me die," as a "Matrix"-style sentinel performed surgery on his cranium.
MIKE: No, no … I won't be able to shake that image. And I just watched the conclusion of "Hannibal" today, so Liotta's brains were on my mind, too.
With Raina in custody and Coulson's team together again, Coulson, true to understated form, says, "They were just messing with my head" when Skye asks about what happened in Centipede's memory machine.
MARSHALL: Look, I don't want to be picky, but can we send "I knew this day would come" to the dialogue dustbin? That whole exchange with the doctor felt superfluous.
MIKE: It seemed the only valuable information to come out of it was that Coulson was dead for days, not seconds or minutes, and just as the doctor was about to give the agent some answers, Coulson splits. Does. Not. Compute. WHY? Why is Coulson so important that it moved Nick Fury to play God?
MARSHALL: Yeah, man. They guy from "Firefly" was feeling so guilty he would have explained everything. Coulson was upset that he had, for a time, "lost the will to live" and yet seemed completely cool with the whole "We can rebuild him, we have the technology."
MIKE: Hey look, Michael Peterson is alive — burned, maimed and disfigured, sure — and he now has one of those creepy eyeball thingies that'll kill him if he doesn't play ball with The Clairvoyant. So Centipede isn't quite dead yet, and there wasn't quite so much in the way of revelation or resolution in the episode. I mean, who hadn't suspected that S.H.I.E.L.D. did something other than send Coulson to Tahiti to recover?
I'll leave you with the last word, Marshall.
MARSHALL: I'll be honest, I wasn't thrilled to dive back into this show, but I did get a special little charge seeing the team coalesce become the A-level squad we know that they can be. Maybe that's my main issue, Mike. That, for better or worse, Season One of "Marvel's Agents of S.I.E.L.D." is one big origin story.
Until next week…
What did you think of the episode?

SocGen Will Have 'Zero Cost' From Greek CDS, Oudea Says
Societe Generale SA, France's second-largest bank, will have no costs related to Greek credit-default swaps after the biggest sovereign restructuring in history, Chief Executive Officer Frederic Oudea said.
"For Societe Generale it will be zero cost," Oudea said today at a press conference in Paris. Societe Generale has "no net exposure" on Greek credit-default swaps, he said.
Private investors, including Societe Generale, BNP Paribas SA and Germany's Deutsche Bank AG, last week forgave more than 100 billion euros ($131 billion) of debt, paving the way for a second bailout for Greece from euro-area authorities and the Washington-based International Monetary Fund.
Greece's use of collective action clauses requiring investors to take losses under a debt restructuring triggers payouts on about $3 billion of default insurance, the International Swaps & Derivatives Association said March 9. A total 4,323 CDS contracts may be settled after ISDA's determinations committee ruled the use of collective action clauses is a credit event, the industry group said.
"European banks' net positions are contained," said Oudea, who is also the head of the French Banking Federation. "CDSs, according to all circulating figures, do not represent a significant issue for any bank nor for the financial system."
Greece, ending nine months of negotiations with private bondholders and public authorities on a debt restructuring, reached its target for participation in the debt swap after using the collective action clauses to get the holdouts to join, with investors holding 95.7 percent of the bonds taking part.
CDSs pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent should a borrower not respect its debt agreements.
Societe Generale, which also operates an Athens-based branch network, had 1.06 billion euros of Greek sovereign bonds as of Dec. 31.

A Must Read - Share
In the early part of the last decade Manchester became the hot spot for Ageing Labour's take on urban regeneration.
Illustration: Jackson Rees
Until very recently I'd never really got the measure of Manchester, even after 25 years of regular visits and short sojourns. When I walked the cavernous streets of the central district, I might have been surrounded by the dead weight of commercial and municipal Victoriana, yet still the city seemed, for me, to lack substance. I apprehended it as a built environment pushed up into evanescent being: masonry and porphyry surf on a capitalistic wave.

CORVALLIS, Ore. — The state of Oregon continued to treat Stanford like an unwelcome guest.
The darlings of West Coast football got knocked back to reality Saturday with a stunning 38-28 defeat to Oregon State in front of an announced crowd of 41,979 at Reser Stadium.
A program considered on the rise fell — and fell hard. With it went Toby Gerhart's faint Heisman Trophy hopes and probably the Cardinal's Rose Bowl dreams.
Forget top-25 rankings. With another Pacific-10 Conference road game at Tucson next weekend, Stanford (4-2, 3-1 Pac-10) still needs two victories to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2001. The Cardinal is 5-16 on the road in the past four seasons.
It will have to improve greatly to rebuild its reputation after three consecutive victories — all at home — attracted national attention.
The team took a step backward in Corvallis, a quaint college town where Stanford has experienced many a nightmare this decade. The Cardinal has won only once in Oregon in the past eight years, and the downward spiral didn't end Saturday.
Not with 5-foot-7 running back
Jacquizz Rodgers making Stanford tacklers look like foils in a Roadrunner cartoon. Rodgers had a career-best 189 yards and four touchdowns in exploiting Stanford's lack of speed.
"We've got to attack people rather than try to run around them," said Stanford linebacker Clinton Snyder, who led his team with 12 tackles.
Rodgers, who also had 82 yards on five receptions, set the tone the first time he touched the ball. He gained a career-best 61 yards on a wildcat play, and then scored five plays later. Rodgers scored three times in the first half as Oregon State (4-2, 2-1 Pac-10) built a 31-7 lead that Stanford couldn't overcome.
"You know what plays they are going to run," Cardinal safety Bo McNally said. "But you can't stop them."
Stanford couldn't stop anything the Beavers threw at it in the first half. By the time the game ended, Rodgers' older brother James had 78 yards on six catches and quarterback Sean Canfield completed 22 of 32 for 290 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.
But it wasn't just a defensive lapse. Oregon State corralled the Cardinal's potent kickoff return game; Chris Owusu, who led the nation beforehand (55 yards per game), gained 87 yards in five returns Saturday.
The Beavers also frustrated the offense, which relies on a steady diet of Gerhart's running. By disrupting quarterback Andrew Luck early, Stanford fell out of its natural bullish rhythm. Gerhart, who led the Pac-10 with 130.0 yards a game, had 96 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns.
"We had a horribly slow start," said Luck, who was 12 for 30 for 226 yards and two touchdowns. "They made us pay for that start."
The first play from scrimmage offered a glimpse at what was to come. Luck found Owusu in front of a Beavers defender for what looked like a sure touchdown. But Owusu dropped the ball. Luck told his receiver, "All right, let's come back on them and do it."
But then Luck, a redshirt freshman, overthrew open receivers time and again, missing on his first six passes.
"I wasn't calming down," he said.
Oregon State's defense can take a bow for rattling Luck. The Beavers pressured the Cardinal receivers and contained Gerhart and the ground game, forcing the redshirt freshman into uncomfortable passing situations.
But more than anything, Stanford just couldn't recover from a devastating 21-0 deficit by the second quarter. Jacquizz Rodgers, who had been held to fewer than 100 yards rushing in the three previous outings, slipped underneath defenders in the middle, or wiggled out of the grasp of tacklers in the open field. He looked capable of breaking a big gain almost every time he touched the ball.
"We weren't making tackles," Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh said.
At least not enough while playing in the unfriendly precincts of Oregon.

Wandell Working His Magic
Wednesday, 12.2.2009 / 4:54 PM CT / News
By Olivia Kiespert - DallasStars.com
Tom Wandell has done just about everything for the Stars this season; he's played center, winger, logged big minutes on the penalty kill and has scored goals when his team needs it most. And he's only 22.
The Stars' rookie center actually played 14 games for the Stars last season registering a goal and two assists. But Wandell says the experience he gained from his first two stints with the Stars was worth so much more.
Coming into training camp this season, Wandell wanted to make sure he wouldn't have to split time and fly between his club in Sweden and the Stars. For Stars' head coach Marc Crawford, Wandell's skill and natural ability was evident from the start.
"He's got good distribution abilities [as a center], but he's also got enough power and grit in his game that he can muscle pucks out and do the things that wingers have to do to be effective," Crawford says. "At the end of the day though, it's his skating that separates him. He's got great balance. He's got great maneuverability with the puck, getting himself into position and keeping his feet moving. The more that he utilizes his great skating ability and the more that he stays strong on the puck in the face of some very adverse checking conditions, I think the better the player he is going to become."
His skating and sharp mind for the game has allowed Wandell to fill many holes for the Stars this year. When James Neal missed two games earlier this season due to a suspension, Wandell filled in – as a winger – for Neal on the top line with Brad Richards and Loui Eriksson.
"When you skate as well as he does, you've got that ability to play in a lot of different positions," Crawford says. "You also have to have the intelligence to recognize that the jobs are somewhat different; the winger watches plays develop in front of him and the centerman is more of a distributor of plays."
Stepping in for the Stars' leading goal scorer is no easy task, but Wandell wasn't phased. He recorded a goal – a game-winner against one of the game's best goaltenders in Martin Brodeur – and an assist in his two games on the top line.
But Wandell has had a knack for scoring goals when they matter most this season. Three of his four tallies this season have been game-winners. His biggest goal to date came last Saturday at home against Tampa Bay. With a 3-1 lead and five minutes left to go in the third period, Dallas seemed all but assured of a win. But the Lightning came back and scored two goals 47 seconds apart to send the game in to overtime. After a minute break to regroup, Dallas came out ready to win a game that should have already ended. Wandell led the charge for the Stars, with two quality chances, the second of which ended the game with Stars victory.
"Obviously, [scoring game-winning goals] is a special feeling," he says. "The last home game here in OT was an unbelievable feeling to score that goal and get us two points - two important points. It feels great to be there when the team needs you. It's just a special feeling."
Although he is one of the youngest players on the team, Wandell leads all forwards in ice time on the penalty kill by nearly six minutes. He is thrilled to be getting ice time, particularly in such a vital role, but penalty killing didn't come naturally to Wandell. He took advantage of his time in the minors and in Europe to improve his defensive game.
"I feel comfortable on defense, so the PK is huge for me," Wandell says. "I feel I have a pretty strong defensive game. I think I've gotten a lot better these last two years. Before then, I was struggling a little bit, but now I feel more comfortable. I had good coaches back home and I had one year in Iowa with Davey Allison. He was great for me and he taught me a lot."
Coach Crawford finds comfort in knowing he has such a strong and sharp young player to throw in in shorthanded situations.
"In penalty killing, one of the biggest attributes you need is awareness, and he's a very, very aware player," Crawford says. "He reads the play extremely well, he's got a good stick, he's able to read what the opposition is trying to do and therefore position himself and position his stick accordingly. Where his improvement needs to come is on those one-on-one battles and those battles for loose pucks against veteran hardened NHL players. Again, that's experience. The more experience he gets, the more determined he'll become."
As is the case with any player in any stage of his career, Wandell knows he still has areas of his game that could be better. Luckily for him, he has teammates who are more than willing to help him in any way they can. In particular, Wandell's fellow Swedes, Loui Eriksson, Fabian Brunnstrom and Nicklas Grossman, have assisted him with not only the language barriers but with adjusting to North America and the NHL game.
"It's helped with everything, on the ice and off the ice," Wandell says. "They've helped a lot with the small things. You can ask any question you want and they just tell you what to do. It's been great to have Fabian, Loui and Grossy here. I knew Grossy before coming to Dallas. We played juniors together in Sweden, so we know each other pretty well. It's really great to have him here."
With such a successful rookie year, it seems like Wandell's only issue has been understanding locker room chatter.
"Sometimes it's kind of hard to understand the English slang, but I think I'm picking up more every day," he says. "I try to talk as much as possible in English, so I'm getting better."
