Man on Black Hawk charter bus accused of murdering another passenger
LOVELAND, Colo. — A 41-year-old Greeley man was killed in the parking lot of a Loveland recreation center Sunday following an argument with another man on a charter bus, the Loveland Police Department said.
Billy Page was a passenger on a private charter bus dropping customers off in the parking lot of Chilson Recreation Center following a trip to Black Hawk, LPD said. During the bus ride, Page reportedly argued with another passenger, 32-year-old Cory Nix of Loveland.
As passengers were getting off the bus at the rec center shortly before 2 p.m., Nix attacked Page, LPD said. The victim suffered traumatic blunt-force injuries and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, police said.
Nix initially left the scene, but then returned to talk with police. He was arrested on a charge of second-degree murder, LPD said.

Behrend women win 4th in row
ALTOONA -- Don't look now, but the Penn State Behrend women's basketball team's 1-3 start is quickly becoming a distant memory.
The Lions won their fourth straight game by defeating Penn State Altoona 53-26 at Adler Gym Sunday.
Behrend improved to 6-5 overall and 5-2 in the AMCC, while Altoona fell to 0-13, 0-7.
From the getgo, the game belonged to the Lions as Behrend limited Altoona to nine first-half points to take a commanding 29-9 lead at the intermission.
Julia Myers played a key role in the Behrend victory as the senior forward scored 14 points and grabbed seven rebounds.
Forward Ally Burke also did her part on the defensive side of the ball as she recorded eight steals for the Lions. Emily Detsch added 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting for Behrend, which led by as many as 38 points in the second half.

PLAINSBORO - Nicole Calvano, smiling serenely and exuding limitless patience, sat the small gathering of children and parents in a circle.
Calvano, 28, of East Brunswick, yoga instructor and passionate advocate for children suffering autism in its seemingly infinite manifestations, waved her hand around the circle and invited everyone to imagine a garden.
The children, each afflicted with some behavioral challenge, and their parents closed their eyes. The class was midway through a six-week program Calvano is teaching at the Center for Relaxation and Healing of Plainsboro.
The center is described on its website as a place "people meet, talk, explore themselves, find healing and learn about the world around them." The center offers at least 32 programs and services such as yoga, meditation and nutritional counseling that explore the mind-body-spiritual connection.
"Smell the flowers," Calvano said, drawing in a slow, deep breath. She led the group in drawing eight breaths, exclaiming "ahhhhh" on the exhale. Daniel, 5, who had been antsy and distracted, followed Calvano's lead and sat quietly, focused on his breathing and enjoying the prolonged "ahhh." His sister, Caroline, 14, sat beside him and breathed peacefully.
"He's a boy in typical ways, but other things are not typical," said Daniel's mother, Katerina Bubnovsky of Princeton Township, alluding to her son's abrupt outbursts of anger. "The breathing is very calming to him. We are able to use that every day."
Calvano began teaching yoga three years ago and soon formed her own company, The Infinite U, to offer yoga classes she has developed for children afflicted with autism and similar behavioral problems.
While severe cases of autism have clear symptoms, such as aggression, lack of affection and empathy, inability to communicate, indifference to obvious dangers and similar isolating behaviors, the range of disorders on the "autism spectrum" is broad.
Calvano's yoga classes are designed for the entire family to create the bonds between parents and children -- and siblings -- that autistic children find otherwise challenging.
"The autism spectrum is so broad that it doesn't really matter what the diagnosis is because I am here to connect with the child, not the diagnosis," Calvano said.
Calvano led her class in moving their arms from hanging at their sides to straight overhead on the inhale, lowering the arms back to their sides in time with the exhale.
"What bird flies high?" she asked.
"Eagle!" exclaimed Justin, 5, of Pennington, who attended class with his mother, Jenine Molinaro.
His answer prompted Calvano to lead the children and parents, arms moving now like wings, in a circle around the garden they had just imagined.
Encouraged by Calvano to think of animals, Justin next suggested pretending to be skunks, which was all Calvano needed to get the group to raise their tails into the down dog posture.
"Now let's really make the skunk smell," she said, laughing, lifting and stretching first the right leg and then the left.
Following their play as skunks, the children and parents sank back on their heels, their arms on the floor as pillows, to rest in child's pose. After a few breaths, Calvano led them to rise like cats arching their backs.
As their backs rounded, she asked Daniel "What animal says "moo'"? When he answered "cow," Calvano led everyone into lowering their arched backs while lifting their shoulders and hips, a common yoga movement known as cat-cow.
"Justin, are you ready for a dog?" Calvano asked. At the mention of "dog," the children moved into down dog posture -- standing on hands and toes with their hips lifted.
Molinaro said her son suffers the sensory-processing disorder dyspraxia.
"We wanted something calming for him because he can be somewhat overwhelmed by stimulus," she said.
"He finds this calming. He follows directions and controls his body well. This is a good environment for Justin."
The class is disorderly, but Calvano is patient. When Daniel had too much trouble staying focused and his mother had disciplined him repeatedly, she took him from the room.
In the middle of the class a third family, Ramana Mani of West Windsor and his twin daughters, Shruti and Swara, 7, entered the room.
Shruti was plainly unhappy. She refused to do what her father told her and only grudgingly did what the class was doing, while Swara smiled happily and frequently hugged and encouraged her sister.
Mani later explained that Shruti was angry because a boy she had befriended in the class no longer attended.
"She doesn't really obey but she has not been diagnosed (with autism)," Mani said.
"The diagnoses are so broad and vague they don't really matter. I've been trying different things with Shruti. She likes the keyboard. My other daughter really likes yoga, so we come here more for her now. I like that this is something we can do as a family."
Calvano developed her class at first to offer it through a grant-funded program in Middlesex County, then she sought opportunities to offer it more broadly.
"There has always been something about the mind-body-spirit connection that fascinated me and I've been drawn to healing," Calvano said.
"When I began my yoga practice I was, of course, getting stronger and more flexible but what I noticed most was the impact on my overall life. As my body became more flexible, I became more flexible as a person."
The children and parents continued following Calvano's lead through various yoga postures based on the animals the children called out at her urging, moving from horse to dolphin and other representatives of the animal kingdom.
On hands and knees, Calvano encouraged everyone to wiggle from shoulders to hips. Shruti refused, Justin tried, Daniel abruptly stood up and walked off while his mother stayed in the pose.
"Let's wiggle our worries away," Calvano said.

This third edition of a book devoted exclusively to all aspects of leukemia is a most pleasant surprise. In contrast to the first two editions, which represented the personal experience of two well-known hematologists, this volume has been extensively revised and greatly improved. The style has been altered and several expert authorities have submitted new chapters.
There are major sections on etiology and pathology; cell kinetics, clinical and laboratory features including cytogenetics, and an excellent section on cytochemistry; treatment of leukemia, with discussions of all of the current classes of drugs; patient management with combination chemotherapy and supportive measures; and a chapter on prognosis.
The references are current through 1973, and the majority of the figures (all black and white) are reproduced with clarity, although a few are too dark. Tables are numerous and serve to amplify and support written statements.

Ex-Sabres captain Michael Peca earned another honor from the Ontario Junior Hockey League on Tuesday.
He was named Coach of the Year after guiding the Buffalo Junior Sabres (38-12-5) to the second-best record in the league, their first OJHL division title and to a No. 11 ranking among all of Canada's Junior A teams. Peca, who is also the team's general manager, earned OJHL Executive of the Year honors last week.
Peca and his Junior Sabres team return to playoff action tonight when they host the opener of a best-of-seven second-round series at 7 at First Niagara Center against the North York (Ont.) Rangers. The Rangers host Game Two on Friday night.
The Junior Sabres will also host Game Three at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Buffalo State Ice Arena, while also having home ice, if necessary, for Games Five and Seven on March 20 and 23 at their normal Northtown Center in Amherst home. Due to scheduling conflicts at Northtown, Buffalo had to move Games One and Three to other sites within the area.
Tickets cost $7 for adults, $3 for students and senior citizens.
The Junior Sabres, who enter the series well-rested since completing a series sweep of Burlington on March 3, went 2-3 during the regular season against North York, all the games decided by two or fewer goals.
The teams haven't played each other since Nov. 14, a 5-4 win by Buffalo. North York has been idle since Friday, when it finished off its first-round series in six games against Oakville.
University of Maine-commit Tyler Gjurich leads the Junior Sabres in playoff scoring with five goals and 10 points after leading the OJHL in goals (53) and points (97) during the regular season. Nolan Sheeran has four goals and seven points during the postseason. Corey Kalk of North York leads all scorers in the postseason with six goals and 13 points.

THIS week's mysterious suspension of Telkom's financial director, Jacques Schindehütte, related to how he allegedly hired a consultant he knew without going through the proper process.
After Mr Schindehütte's suspension was announced on Thursday, speculation ran high that he was suspended over a R6m share purchase on September 30, the day before the fixed-line operator went into a closed period from October 1.
The trade raised eyebrows not just because of its timing, but also because within a week Telkom's share price rallied more than 10%.
But on Friday, Telkom said in a statement the suspension "relates to allegations of personal misconduct ... which came to the board's attention through a whistle-blower".
Neither Telkom nor Mr Schindehütte would clarify what that meant, and investors took this to be bad news.
Telkom's share price plunged 3.9% on Friday, wiping R573-million off its market value.
Business Times understands that the charge sheet given to Mr Schindehütte contained no reference to the share trades, but listed five matters — most of which related to how Schindehutte allegedly hired a consultant whom he knew before.
The allegation evidently is that he somehow pushed this appointment through without going through proper processes.
However, Mr Schindehütte is understood to have obtained the consent of former CEO Pinky Moholi for the appointment, and the contracts were apparently also sent through Telkom's legal department.
The total value of these contracts is understood to be less than R5m.
Mr Schindehütte's suspension has raised the spectre of political interference in his departure.
While Telkom is listed on the JSE and is not technically a state institution, there is no doubt that government — which owns 40% of the company — calls the shots.
He is understood to have been critical of how government vetoed an investment in Telkom by Korea's KT Corporation two years ago, which would have given Telkom a foreign partner with deep pockets and global skills.
This move also comes amid a spate of suspensions in state-owned companies as government flexes its muscles. This week, the head of the Government Employees Pension Fund, John Oliphant, was suspended "pending disciplinary proceedings". Once again, no information was made available.
Mr Oliphant was in a powerful position. With assets worth about R1-trillion, the fund is the single-biggest investor on the JSE and the largest government bond holder.
Last week, the Sunday Times broke the story that Competition Commission boss Shan Ramburuth was forced to resign after using R123,000 of taxpayers' money on data he racked up watching porn.
However, pundits immediately asked whether Mr Ramburuth's infraction had been exposed because he clashed with Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel over Walmart's controversial investment in the country, which was hotly opposed by labour.
Despite Telkom's declaration that Mr Schindehütte's suspension related to personal misconduct, questions about his last-minute trade must have caused a measure of embarrassment at board level.
Mr Schindehütte ploughed R6m into Telkom stock at R24.43 on September 30, the day before the company went into a closed period.
The purchase would have been considered insider trading had the shares been bought 12 hours later.
As arbitrary a distinction as the cut-off time might be, Mr Schindehütte's trade was legal and was, in fact, endorsed by the CEO Sipho Maseko and chairman Jabu Mabuza.
However, a week later, on October 7, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa announced it was going to cut interconnection fees that would boost Telkom Mobile's earnings, and the Telkom share price bounced to R26.50. Two days later, Telkom released a trading statement, saying it expected earnings per share to increase at least 20% for the six months to September, and the share price went up to R27.30.
Solly Keetse, head of the Financial Services Board's directorate of market abuse, denied media reports this week that the board was investigating the trade.
Telkom said on Friday that an investigation was carried out by an external law firm, and its findings and recommendations were presented to the board. After Mr Schindehütte was given the chance to respond to the allegations, the board was legally advised to suspend him.
Mr Schindehütte put out his own sanitised press statement this week, saying his suspension from Telkom had not come as a surprise and that there had been a process leading up to it during which he had been asked to resign. He said he had refused because doing so would not be "congruent with his value system".
It was clear from his statement that he did not feel he had done anything wrong: "I believe I always act competently and in good faith to enhance the interests of my employer and all its stakeholders."
He admitted on Thursday evening the suspension had been "sobering". He said he was going home to Stellenbosch to be with his family and to support them through what he expected to be a long process.

Contraction targets: A's, Marlins?
The New York Daily News' Bill Madden tabs the Oakland Athletics and Florida Marlins as the teams most likely to be contracted when MLB works out its next labor contract three years from now.
The reason? The sorry state of stadiums in Oakland and Miami, and recent blows to those teams' hopes for improved venues. Something better than Battlestar Al Davis (pictured, top), and Dolphin Stadium (pictured, bottom).
Madden says downsizing is imminent in baseball, unless Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria can somehow find a way to strike a real deal with South Florida politicians, or A's owner Lewis Wolff finds another alternative to the aborted Fremont move.
At least the San Diego Padres have a nice stadium, which should save them.
I somehow never made it to Miami for baseball (just football, basketball and hockey), so I wouldn't miss the Marlins as much as I would the Athletics franchise, and its glorious history in Philadelphia with Connie Mack and in Oakland under Charlie Finley.
But redistribute their 50 major-league players, plus the farm systems, to the other 28 teams, and you would have a better product.

I talked my husband to rescue these lil' kittens from under this porch. We could only one. He went under and pulled out about 6 cats before I found Opal. She was the cutest and the most unique out of all of them. And the other kittens we asked around and gave them all to good homes : )

|All Recent SEC Filings
Quarterly Report
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in particular Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains "forward-looking statements" with respect to IPC's future financial performance. The words or phrases "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and IPC cautions you that any forward-looking information provided by, or on behalf of, IPC is not a guarantee of future performance. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, some of which are beyond IPC's control, including, but not limited to, the unpredictable nature of patent licensing and patent litigation; potential changes in the laws and regulations relating to patents and patent litigation; the risk that we are not currently engaged in the patent licensing business, and our patent portfolio has never generated revenues; future changes we may make in our patent licensing strategy; changes in the taxation of income due to the disallowance or expiration of the Company's net operating losses ; and litigation in which IPC is a party. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other risks and uncertainties, which are described in greater detail in IPC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, could cause IPC's actual results to differ materially from historical results or those currently anticipated. All forward-looking statements are based on information available to IPC on the date hereof, and IPC assumes no obligation to update such statements.
From its inception through December 21, 2011 (the "Disposition Date"), IPC operated an online insurance marketplace that electronically matched consumers and providers of automobile, property, health, term life, and small business insurance. IPC discontinued this business in connection with the sale of substantially all of its assets related to its lead generation business to Bankrate, Inc. in a transaction that closed on December 21, 2011 (the "Disposition"). IPC retained certain assets generally not related to its insurance lead generation business which included cash, short-term investments and its patent portfolio. On the Disposition Date, Bankrate acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities associated with the operation of the lead generation business. Bankrate did not assume certain liabilities related to real property leases, obligations related to IPC's employees that arose prior to the Disposition Date, or obligations for employees that remained employed by IPC after the Disposition Date. IPC is also generally responsible for the tax obligations or entitled to tax refunds associated with the Disposition and for the taxes related to the income or loss generated by the insurance lead generation prior to the Disposition Date.
Since the Disposition Date, IPC's business consists solely of licensing or
otherwise enforcing its portfolio of six e-commerce patents ("Patent Licensing
Business"). From its original incorporation, IPC was in the forefront of
companies operating exclusively online, and we employed a significant staff of
software and systems engineers to develop technology leveraging the power of the
internet. Although our principal business focus at that time was online
insurance lead generation, the problems that our technology experts faced were
common to many e-commerce companies. IPC's innovative solutions to these
problems are now covered by patents that we believe apply to many e-commerce
activities, including:
· personalized product recommendations to web site visitors;
· retargeting or remarketing to web site visitors;
· online registration and application processes and forms;
· maintaining consistent look and feel of web pages in multiple languages; and
· generating quick or even real time product rate requests.
Our future revenues are expected to consist of the royalties from licensing the patents and damages for past infringement, however, none of the Company's patents have generated revenues in the past or been subject to a final adjudication of its validity. Patent infringement litigation is inherently uncertain and can be expensive and often takes several years to reach the trial stage, and the appeals process could result in further delays in receiving royalties or damage awards. For these reasons, IPC does not anticipate receiving any revenues in 2012. In addition to general and administrative expenses, including salaries and benefits, rent and utilities, we will incur expenses associated with patent infringement litigation and being a public company. We expect that we will not be profitable in 2012.
The sale of assets to Bankrate, Inc. resulted in aggregate cash proceeds of $63.8 million to IPC. IPC did not retain an interest in the insurance lead generation business and will not receive future compensation relating to the insurance lead generation business or the assets sold. IPC is not required to indemnify Bankrate for any matter relating to the asset sale, other than indemnification for tax liabilities that pertain to periods prior to the asset sale.
Results of Operations Reclassifications Certain amounts in our 2011 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of our 2012 consolidated financial statements, relating to the effects of reclassifications of our insurance and lead generation business as discontinued operations. As a result of the Disposition, all of the Company's revenues and certain significant costs related to the Company's insurance lead generation business are accumulated into discontinued operations. Operating Expenses Three months ended Percentage September 30, change from (in thousands, except percentages) 2012 2011 prior period Operating expenses: Technology $ - $ 24 General and administrative 473 716 Total operating expenses $ 473 $ 740 (36) % Nine months ended Percentage September 30, change from (in thousands, except percentages) 2012 2011 prior period Operating expenses: Technology $ - $ 72 General and administrative 2,289 2,430 Total operating expenses $ 2,289 $ 2,502 (9) %
Technology. Technology expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses, including employee benefits. Technology expenses decreased to $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $24,000 and $72,000 for the comparable periods in 2011, as full-time technology personnel are no longer necessary for IPC's business operations.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses, including employee benefits, facility costs, accounting and legal services and insurance for our general management, administrative and accounting personnel, as well as other general corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to $473,000 and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $716,000 and $2.4 million for the comparable periods in 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 the decrease was primarily due to a reduction in administrative headcount and reduced accounting services, offset by an increase in legal fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 the decrease was primarily due to a reduction in administrative headcount and decreases in rent expense and accounting services, offset by increases in retention bonuses, severance and legal fees. General and administrative expenses are expected to remain at or near current levels for the remainder of 2012.
Other Income. Other income was $1,000 and $169,000, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $1,000 and $11,000 for the comparable periods in 2011. Other Income for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a nominal amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and for the comparable periods in 2011 consists of interest earned on IPC's investment portfolio of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. For the nine months ended, September 30, 2012, other income also included a one-time payment of $99,000 received by IPC following the settlement of commercial litigation and a supplemental payment from Bankrate of $67,000 related to the collection of outstanding accounts receivable at the Disposition Date. IPC expects that Other Income will consist entirely of returns received from its investment portfolio in the near future, which will be negligible given current economic conditions in the United States.
Income Taxes. Internet Patents Corporation recognized federal and state income tax benefits of $61,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to the difference between the income tax expense recognized for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the actual tax liability incurred when the income tax returns were filed during the quarter ended, September 30, 2012. IPC did not recognize an expense or benefit from income taxes for the comparable periods in 2011.
Critical Accounting Policies
IPC's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on IPC's consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires IPC to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. IPC bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. IPC believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Under the asset and liability method prescribed under ASC 740, "Income Taxes", IPC recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled.
For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. At September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, IPC had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively ($0.1 million of which, if recognized, would affect IPC's effective tax rate). IPC does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next twelve months.
For tax return purposes, IPC had net operating loss carry forwards at September 30, 2012 of approximately $140.6 million and $83.7 million for federal income tax and state income tax purposes, respectively. Included in these amounts are unrealized federal and state net operating loss deductions resulting from stock option exercises of approximately $10.1 million each. The benefit of these unrealized stock option-related deductions has not been included in deferred tax assets and will be recognized as a credit to additional paid-in capital when realized. Federal and state net operating loss carry forwards begin expiring in 2012.
The carrying value of our deferred tax assets, which was approximately $49.9 million at September 30, 2012, is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. We have established a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets to reflect the uncertainty of realizing the deferred tax benefits, given historical losses. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. This assessment requires a review and consideration of all available positive and negative evidence, including our past and future performance, the market environment in which we operate, the utilization of tax attributes in the past, and the length of carryforward periods and evaluation of potential tax planning strategies. We expect to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until an appropriate level of profitability is sustained or we are able to develop tax strategies that would enable us to conclude that it is more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets would be realizable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources Summarized cash flow information is as follows (in thousands): Nine months ended September 30, 2012 2011 Cash provided by (used in) operating activities Continuing operations $ (4,197 ) $ (1,773 ) Discontinued operations - 2,673 Cash provided by (used in) investing activities Continuing operations (1,284 ) 900 Discontinued operations - (2,174 ) Cash provided by (used in) financing activities Continuing operations (33,485 ) 1,536 Discontinued operations - -
At September 30, 2012, IPC's principal source of liquidity was $31.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 million in short-term investments. IPC adheres to an investment policy with minimal market or settlement risk with its current holdings. There are no restrictions or limitations regarding access to the $31.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 million in short-term investments. Since inception, IPC has financed its operations primarily through the sale of preferred and common stock.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $4.2 million, primarily consisting of our net loss of $2.1 million and cash used of $4.1 million, primarily due to payment of accounts payable, income taxes, accrued expenses and other liabilities. This was partially offset by decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.0 million and other assets of $1.0 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in operating activities was $0.9 million, consisting of cash used in operations of $1.8 million and cash provided from discontinued operations of $2.7 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million representing $2.2 million relating to the purchases of short-term investments and $1.0 million relating to purchases of restricted short-term investments, offset by redemptions of short-term investments of $1.9 million.
For the comparable nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million representing $2.2 million relating to the purchases of short-term investments and net cash used in discontinued operations of $2.2 million. This was offset by redemptions of short-term investments of $2.3 million, redemptions of restricted short-term investments of $0.6 million and payments from related parties of $0.2 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash used in financing activities was $33.5 million, consisting of an aggregate $38.6 million cash distribution paid to shareholders on March 9, 2012, offset by proceeds from employee stock plans of $5.1 million.
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.5 million due to proceeds from employee stock plans.
IPC has a non-cancelable lease through February 14, 2017 for approximately 16,000 square feet of office space in the Sacramento area which houses its corporate headquarters. IPC has two, consecutive options to extend the term for five years each at the prevailing market rent. A portion of the premises is currently subleased to Bankrate, Inc. through December 21, 2012.
As a result of its acquisition of Potrero Media in October 2010, IPC also leases approximately 10,000 square feet of office space in San Francisco, California under a non-cancelable lease expiring in October 2014. A portion of the premises is sublet to an unrelated party for the remainder of IPC's lease term. The Company disposed of the operations of Potrero Media in conjunction with the Disposition.
Future minimum lease commitments as of September 30, 2012 are summarized as follows (in thousands):
Future minimum lease Years ending December 31 commitments 2012 76 2013 443 2014 422 2015 342 2016 350 Thereafter 58 $ 1,691
IPC currently anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs to fund operations and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

News & Stories | Animals in advertising
Getting your teeth into things?
by Thomas WagnerThe oft-heard trope "never work with animals or children" may be somewhat extreme but it must be said that when animals are used in advertising, agencies do not always achieve the desired effect. The ploy not only leads to a great deal of speculation when it comes to the animals' emotions (which in turn results in an adherence to clichés) but at times such commercials can even become rather preachy; as evidenced not only by cheetahs, walruses and sharks but chimpanzees too.

Gusty winds around midnight last night signified the passage of a cold front that brought in this refreshing air mass we're enjoying today. Gone is the humidity, clear are the skies, superb is the air quality, and afternoon temperatures today --- and tomorrow, and Friday --- will be seasonal, in the mid- to upper 70s.
The rains that came down yesterday, our first precipitation in nearly three weeks, measured around an inch across the area, give or take a quarter of an inch. Central Park received 1.21 inches of rain, and you can find the rest of the area totals here.
While today's crystalline air mass is typical for mid-September, another more potent cold front will arrive Friday night, ushering in air that will feel actually fall-like.
You probably heard that story last month about the giant spider web, right? In a park in north Texas, a spider web was found that was enormous, covering hundreds of yards. Entomologists were stunned at the discovery.
Well, now they've come up with an explanation for the mega-web. There were 12 different kinds of spiders responsible for the web, different species that usually cannibalize each other. But here they decided to cooperate for the betterment of the entire spider community, evidently because food in the area was plentiful.
Now, this is a wonderful thing, spiders getting along so well. After all, if spiders can do it, while not homo sapiens? But we're still puzzled by the whole thing. Either spiders have been making enormous webs throughout spider history and nobody noticed, in which case we have to wonder why not, or else this web is truly unprecedented in spider society, which would be pretty remarkable, we guess, and shouldn't we acknowledge that? Further study may be necessary. Read more about the story here.

Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2016?
Zantrex-3 comes right out of the gate with boastful claims that it's not just another diet supplement in an already crowded market. Zantrex-3 says it belongs in a brand new category of super-charged, super-result supplements. Promising users up to five times the normal weight loss from other pills, and the energy you need, Zantrex-3 says it's the fat burning, energy boosting pill that is going to win you over once and for all.
Zantrex-3 does come across as a high-intensity product that seems to focus more on the short-term rather than support for the long-term. You'll take Zantrex-3 about half an hour before each main meal - this will limit your appetite and you'll begin to see results in a couple of weeks.
Zantrex-3 contains three herbs that are not common, and there has been little research conducted - liex paraguarensis, turnera diffusa and Paulina cupana P.PRO
- Rapid weight loss
- Lose more weight than with diet and exercise alone
- Increased energy
- Increase metabolism
- Does not use ephedrine
- No emphasis on diet and exercise
- Xanthine
- Guarana
- Niacin
- Green Tea
- Ginseng
For maximum results, you should take two tablets 15-30 minutes before meals with a full glass of water. You should not exceed six capsules per day.DIET and EXERCISE
No guidance given.CONCLUSION
There are, of course, many dietary supplements on the market that make similar claims. The decision to choose one of these over another should be an educated one. So, you should enlist the advice of your doctor. Supplements should not be relied on as a stand-alone weight loss plan, as a healthy diet and routine exercise greatly impact results. Zantrex-3 explains on its site that the product has not been tested alongside any diet or exercise programs.Common Misspellings

i'm going to start taking it soon. i already do not eat a lot and love to walk everywhere but that hasn't been working. i recently gained 30 pounds as a college freshman, so i'm looking to drop a lot of that. i'm really nervous cause of the bad reviews, but i have it so might as well try it.
so0o0o ive been reading up on alot and im pretty nervous to take this but hey why not. i went and bought it and im excited to wake up and take it.
I have been taking Zantrex-3 off and on for years recently with some other meds it made my blood pressure go trough the roof but it only happened one time so far the weight loss is up and down but the energy is what I like it for
I'm on my second day with Zantrex 3 now and I have really curved my appetite! My main problem was that I was eating when I was bored. By taking this pill 1-2 times a day, I do not feel that urge to eat throughout the day and have SERIOUSLY lowered my calorie intake. Highly recommend not to take more than 3 a day unless you want to feel very jittery/weird. Make sure you are only taking right before a meal.
I have been taking this diet supplement for about 2 days now, and I have actually lost 3 pounds. I ussually eat a lot through out the day, but I have notice that i just somewhat snack now. Few bites here, few bites there and im done. I work and go to med school full time so I ALWAYS need extra energy. And if your taking a caffine pill and just sitting at a desk of course you will be jittery, or if you havn't eatin. So many people will take a diet or caffine pill and not eat at all or take it with like coke or coffee and wonder why am i so jittery? well... no offence but ummm your body does need food you cant just starve yourself. One thing i did notice though, was my chest felt really uncomfortable when i took 2 pills 3 times a day, so now i take 1 pill twice a day and drink the water suppliment while im at the gym and it gives me that extra boost when i do cardio. i hope i helped some people out.
I am offended by Zantrek 3's commercial talking about everyone wants to be skinny. As if fat people don't have enough of a complex let's use that verbal trash to make us feel even lower. And I really cannot believe that people still believe in a "miracle pill" that will make them skinnier. Get REAL! The only thing that will help you lose weight is to work out at least a little bit and cut back on the sugars! I know this, because I have battled weight all my life and just had a baby so I am pushing 200 pounds. Wake up people and realize that all these miracle pills are nothing more than rip-offs.
i have recently won my law suit with zantrex for causing my heart attack while taking the recommended dose.i am now retired and set for the rest of my life. i just wanted to say thanks zantrex for causing my 30 million dollar heart attack. sorry to everyone else but buy your product while you can cause zantrex is going bye bye.
I just started this today. I'm interested in seeing how this will work. I'm not looking to lose a lot of weight just down about 10 pounds to my goal weight of 105.
says u can take it 3 times a day i use it once in the morning keeps me going all day with energy to actually walk farther and exercize longer. I feel excited lol but not enough to worry me just enough to think wow i have energy now to do this stuff.
i have only be taking this for about a week and I haven't lost one pound. i have worked out everyday and barely eaten, and no weight lost. i wished it worked though i need to lose weight so badly :(
zantrex 3 gave me bad stomach pains I took it for one week didnt loose no weight felt so so sick all day I was still hungry had no energy was always sleepy not sure wat other people giving this pill a good review are talking about give this pill a 0 it was no good .
I've been taking Zantrex regularly for about 3 years. I was never overweight but I was very concerned with maintaining my current physique. I highly recommend Zantrex to anyone, but I would advise to only take one pill a day (I believe the box suggests 2).
I've read many reviews on here that customers have been jittery after taking 2 to 4 pills a day. Well...of course, you're jittery. Zantrex also serves as an energy inducer. If you take more than the suggested 2 pills in one day, that is extremely dangerous. And with pills like these, you're not going to wake up and have suddenly lost 20 pounds. You'll have to work at it, but this pill DOES help your work ethic by suppressing your hunger and giving you a boost in energy. If it drops anything immediately, it's going to be your water weight. Anything that's currently sitting in your belly will be gone in about an hour, after taking this pill. (So, I guess, it DOES help you lose immediate weight to a certain extent.)
Also, please don't take this a night either, if you want to sleep like a rock. Energy inducer, friends. Inducer. It's just common sense to not take a caffeine pill before bed.
I have been on it for about a week now and I have lost 7 pounds. It messed with my sleep at first but now its ok. I can only eat small amounts of food every few hours. I feel so hungry sometimes but I am full after a couple of bites. I eat smaller meals 5 times a day and it seems to work for me,.
I started taking this a week ago, and it has severely affected my sleep habits. I have been getting less than 4 hours of sleep per night; whereas I required nearly 8 before. It has taken a couple of pounds off of me, but I have not been very disciplined with meals. So if you're looking for weight loss, I would recommend it. But if you feel nervous about getting the right amount of rest, you will not like this product.
I began zantrex 3 exactly a week from today and although I was quite nervous about trying this pill, I can say that I am very pleased with the results so far. I have already lost 7 pounds and can see the results on my body. I am an avid exerciser and go to the gym at least 5 times a week for 2 hours each day. I do not consume many carbs and have a strong protein diet. If you choose to not exercise at least 3 times a week and do not watch what you eat, you will not see as quick of results. I do like this pill and hope to see more results as I go along with it.
I am the most sensitive to any pills. Within minutes on the pills I've tried- Phentermine, herbalife, slimquick, dexatrim, all natural herbal pills- id get headaches and dizzy and feel crazy. i read a lot on Zantrex and I was so scared almost felt daring because of the side effects. But I am almost 30 with 4 kids and I am the biggest I have ever been 5'7 200 lbs. I tried Atkins recently again and it only works the 1st time. No success, I do suffer anxiety and so this morning at 7 am I took a Zantrex 3 even though I read crazy stuff on it. I took it with a protein shake and just sat on my couch before either going to work or calling out sick(depending on my reaction) and then boom I was shocked I felt good enough to go. So on my way I had to pee soooo bad, Ran into work laughing and within the last 6 hrs I have tacked everything at work so shakiness, dry mouth or headaches. I still have a little appetite but no cravings at all. I am hoping it gets better and better as I am assuming it would have been bad my first day rather than n a week.
This stuff really works. I took me a couple of days for my body to get used to them, but i've been taking these pills for a week and along with jogging i have lost 10 pounds. I highly recommend zantrex 3
Okay I'll be honest, I absolutely LOVE this stuff, but I'm not the girl who takes her health into account.Iits quite possible that I'm addicted! Ive taken it on and off for 5 or 6 years and its basically legal speed as far as I'm concerned. Id take it 2 or 3 weeks before phot shoots when I modeled and drop 15 pounds like it was nothing. It does take away appetite to a certain extent but more than that I think it just makes you so hyper and crazy that you feel too busy to sit and eat! Ive known 1 person who had a seizure on it and another who had some pretty bad heart things happening because of it (confirmed by a doctor) but I havent had any serious problems so I will continue to take it! Definitely doesnt focus on long term, ive gained and lost soooo much weight on it, and I now have to take about 10 a day to get the same effect that 1 or 2 use to give me
I lost 7 pounds the first week of dieting. Along with taking 3 diet pills per day I ate the right foods by counting calories. I also burned off whatever I ate that was bad ie: doritos by walking on the treadmill for 20 min. So, you can still eat what you want, you just have to burn it off. I recommend this diet pill for rapid weight loss.
i just bought it today ..im just about 20 pounds over wieght i exercise an hour everyday for the last month but i need something to curb my eating so wish me luck...i will be back with results soon...

Video: Cal Fan Takes Selfie While Storming Court
February 2nd, 2014| by Lost Lettermen
We shook our collective heads in disbelief at the sight of three female Minnesota fans earlier this college hoops season posing for selfies in the stands rather than pay attention to their Gophers upsetting Ohio State.
Now we have a Cal fan whose first instinct following Saturday's upset of top-ranked Arizona and subsequent court-storming was to pose for a selfie with Golden Bears forward Richard Solomon.
Not to sound too "get off my lawn"-ish, but sometimes we weep for the current generation of college sports fans.

UNISDR Assisting Government of Palestine to Establish Disaster Loss Database
25 February 2013: The UN Office for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) has announced it is assisting the Government of Palestine in establishing its first national disaster loss database. UNISDR is conducting disaster assistance training with 100 government, non-governmental, and UN agency participants.
According to UNISDR, the initiative involves the consolidation of historical disaster loss data that will provide baseline information on disaster losses. This information will inform risk-sensitive development planning policies and programmes, and strengthen community resilience to disasters.
UNISDR has underscored that Palestine is highly vulnerable to natural hazards, including earthquakes, floods, landslides, droughts and desertification, with the possibility of disasters being triggered by seismic activity and climate change. Palestine is the ninth Arab State to account for disaster losses and their impacts. Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen have already established, or are in the process of, completing national disaster loss databases.

A rally from 27 points down to stun the Orlando Magic with a 91-83 defeat. Without three starters, two of them all-star, and In Orlando, no less.
Celticstown.com takes a good look at what happened Thursday night.
The win by the Celtics was their third straight and second over the Magic in four days.
Might this have been a signature win for the C's, who are now 8-9? Or do two wins over Orlando and another against hapless Washington only temporarily postpone the call for the "Big Breakup?"
Check out Kevin Garnett's post-game reaction.
Even before Thursday night's game, Orlando star Dwight Howard was reported to have been open to playing in green next season.
And oh by the way, the Miami Heat were just one game better - at 9-8 - after 17 games last season.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Whimsical, Funky, Cute
What materials did you use? 6 different acrylic yarns and fun fur for the ears/pompoms 4US size needles Fiberfill 2 buttons
What are you most proud of? The pattern. It was my first attempt at Fair Isle knitting, it came out really well and the colors look great together. I had to adjust it a bit and made I-cords for the arms and legs instead of what they wanted. But it looks great anyway!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? pay more attention to the pattern than the stitches. It got confusing and I also numbered my yarns so I knew what order to go in. I would also number the rows, there's only twenty and then it repeats itself, but it gets confusing the further in you go. Good luck and don't give up!!
Very cute! I am glad to see one of the Sally dolls completed. I have wanted to do one myself but haven't gotten to it. Love the hair! Are you going to do more? You did a wonderful job. Thanks for posting this!
Thanks! I do plan on making more. I have several different patters I'm going to try. I'm going to make them as part of a winter gear project for less fortunate children at the school my mother teaches at. So they'll each get a hat, mittens, a scarf and a Sally doll.

"We cannot do great things, we can only do small things with great love." -Mother Teresa
Art for Recovery holds quilt workshops in hospitals and community venues throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Outreach to underserved communities include workshops in Marin City and the Canal District of San Rafael, the Bay View Hunter's Point, Western Addition, Potrero Hill and Visitacion Valley districts of San Francisco and the San Francisco County jail (working with women prisoners who are touched by breast cancer.)
Art for Recovery provides all of the materials, expertise, inspiration and enough volunteers so that each participant feels important. The quilt blocks are finished and sewn together in an 8x8 foot quilt by quilters (some who have had breast cancer). We serve men, women, children, friends and family members who are touched by this disease. We serve approximately 30 participants at each of the four to six workshops presented each year. Each quilt remains with Art For Recovery, although they are available for display in the communities in which they were created. The quilts also travel throughout the United States at various venues (including the National Institutes of Health) and are displayed each year at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in San Francsico. The Art for Receovery Breast Cancer Quilts project has produced 60 quilts and will continue as long as there are women and families coping with the disease.

A man found guilty of manslaughter in connection with the 1985 Air India bombings [CBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive] was found guilty Saturday of perjury. Inderjit Singh Reyat was the only person convicted for his role in the 1985 terrorist attacks where bombs were planted in suitcases aboard airplanes leaving Vancouver. One bomb went off in Japan's Narita airport, killing two baggage handlers, and another bomb went off on Air India Flight 182 as it flew over Ireland, killing all 329 passengers. Reyat admitted to buying the parts to make the bombs and was convicted of manslaughter in 1991 for the incident in Japan and in 2003 for the incident aboard Flight 182. This most recent conviction is related to the 2003 trial in which Reyat lied under oath 19 times [Montreal Gazette report] during his three-day testimony against alleged co-conspirators Ripudaman Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri. Reyat testified that he could not remember details relating to the bomb plot and could not remember the name of the man that received the bomb parts he had purchased. The men were acquitted [JURIST report] in 2005 of conspiracy to commit murder, first-degree murder of the passengers and crew of Flight 182 and attempted murder of the passengers and crew due to lack of evidence. Prosecutors alleged Reyat was protecting other individuals involved, while Reyat's lawyer argued he was confused and had trouble remembering what had taken place after 18 years. Reyat is scheduled for sentencing on November 17 [AFP report] and could face a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.
In June, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper [official website] formally apologized [JURIST report] to the families of the bombing victims for the government's failure to prevent the attack. Harper delivered his apology a week after Canada's Commission of Inquiry [official website] into the bombing released its final report [JURIST report] finding various institutional organizations failed to fulfill their responsibilities before and after the bombing. The report condemned the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) [official websites] for not utilizing available information, failing to enhance security and not cooperating with each other during the bombing investigation. The 1985 bombing was the largest single modern terror attack against a Western target prior to the 9/11 attacks [JURIST news archive] in the US, and it resulted in the longest and most expensive trial in Canadian history.

TIME Magazine Shot 3 Other Families For Their CoverBuzz Bishop
The picture of Jamie-Lynne Grumet posing with her son breastfeeding from a chair on the cover of this week's issue of TIME Magazine was not the only one taken for the "Are You Mom Enough?" issue. It was, however, the one that would generate the most reaction.
There have been many thousands of words written on the topic over the past 36 hours, but Babble's Rebecca Odes perfectly analyzes the image for how it was constructed by photographer Martin Schoeller and what it means, artistically.
Jamie Lynn Grumet is on the cover because her beauty and body make people think about sex, which sells magazines in itself. But it also makes the image 100 times more controversial than it would be if it were a woman who looked less sexy.
(Imagine the photo with a woman who has breasts larger than a B cup and you'll get a very different picture—one that would likely have been deemed too explicit for TIME's readers.)
Well there's no need to imagine. Ms Grumet and her son were one of 4 families shot for the cover. And here they are:
Dionna Ford 1 of 5"It's so funny that the women who ask breast-feeding parents to cover up wouldn't write to Victoria's Secret to ask them to take down their ads."
Dionna Ford of Kansas City, Mo., and her children, ages 4 years and 5 months.
Jessica Cary 2 of 5"I don't think about when I'll stop. For us, it's a life philosophy."
Jessica Cary of Brooklyn and her daughter, age 3.
Melinda Larson 3 of 5"The philosophy resonated with us, and it felt comfortable. Other forms of parenting felt like I wasn't in my own skin."
Melinda Larson of Long Island, N.Y., and her children, ages 6, 4, 2 1/2 and 9 months.
Jamie Lynne Grumet 4 of 5"I don't consider breast-feeding immodest at all. I'm not shy about doing it in public."
Jamie Lynne Grumet of Los Angeles and her son, age 3.
The Cover 5 of 5This was the image TIME editors chose with Jamie Lynne Grumet.
So what do you think? Did TIME manipulate the media and inflame reaction with the cover they chose? Which photo would you have picked for the cover?

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Fred Upton has been named the "Legislator of the Year" for 2010-2011 by the national advocacy group for the biotechnology industry.
"Representative Upton is a long-time champion of the biotechnology industry," BIO President and CEO Jim Greenwood said in a press release. "As Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, he's been a proponent of issues critical to our nation's biotech industry such as the creation of a pathway for the approval of biosimilars that protects patient safety and provides incentives for continued innovation."
Biosimilars are biologic drugs that are similar to an already established and approved biologic treatment. Biologic drugs are created in a living system, which is different from traditional pharmaceuticals that are created through chemistry, according to BIO.
"As a champion of the biotechnology industry both in Michigan and throughout America, Representative Upton has staunchly supported the creation of a biosimilars pathway that protects patients and incentivizes innovation that ultimately was included in the Affordable Care Act of 2010," said Stephen Rapundalo, MichBIO president and CEO. "We appreciate his consistent support over the last twenty-four years of policies that create an environment to enable this industry to bring new therapies and cures to the American people."
BIO represents more than 1,100 biotechnology companies, academic institutions, state biotechnology centers and related organizations across the United States.

Watch out for lycoris. They like to slither around underground.
Has anyone ever warned you about voodoo plants?
I'm not talking about the real "Voodoo Plant" — a lily that looks somewhat like a really mean calla.
I'm talking about voodoo plants, lower case. They die. Or so you think. Then months, years, later, they reappear in another part of the yard. Spooky.
They've been living underground, roaming the nether world searching for another opening to the gardenworld above.
I can list four and I hope you'll add more. Best we warn new gardeners:
1. Chocolate plants. Once I planted chocolate plants around a large boulder I hauled into my garden. They died, or so I thought. Three years later they reappeared in the sliver of opening between the sidewalk and housewall at our entryway. Been there now, multiplying and blooming nicely in total shade for about ten years.
2. Wisteria. Nasty plants. As a child, I spent many happy hours playing in the "secret house" created by the arching branches of a Japanese wisteria on Sauer Street. I planted one,but it was too happy and had to be constantly pruned. (This was before Japanese wisteria was declared a dangerous invasive.) Husband mowed it down. Never came back. Then, at least five years later a friend asked what that purple-blooming tree was in the lot next door.
3. Cypress vine. Mercer Arboretum & Botanic Gardens' Greg Harmison says the same thing happened with his cypress vine.
4. Lycoris. I've planted lycoris (naked ladies) bulbs in many garden sites. They never bloom there. But they appear in the lawn, where they bloom happily.
Any voodoo plants in your landscape?

Today, tho, the song has been officially unleashed upon the world. Click the video embed above to hear West Coast, the first single from Lana's upcoming new album Ultraviolence. The song has a bit of a different vibe for a LDR song. If this first single is any indication, it would appear that Lana's sound has evolved a bit … which is very nice.

Preventive Measures and Disaster Preparedness Will Lead to Economic Growth
9 August 2008: In an opinion piece, published in the Hindu,
Vinod Thomas, Director General of the World Bank's Independent Evaluation
Group, underscores the increased frequency of natural disasters, their effect
on development, and the need for policy makers to recognize this growing threat
on economies.
He notes that disasters have increasingly man-made causes and
that safeguarding the environment is required for long-term growth. He provides
an overview of available data on the frequency of disasters and the consequent
losses, focusing on the case of India. He argues that addressing man-made
causes of disasters is a priority, including by protecting wetlands and
forests, and notes that timely action can lead to increased resilience and
preparedness. He underlines, however, that despite the high payoffs of
prevention, current funding for these actions is insufficient. Thomas then
calls for increased capacity in prevention and preparedness in India, enhanced
links between planning and budgeting, and improved coordination between
government agencies, as well as with civil society. He concludes that
preventive measures and disaster preparedness will reduce disaster risk, which
is indispensible for sustained growth. [The
opinion piece]

Good god, it's one day away from the draft.
Every year, the NFL draft never fails to be one of the most entertaining and orgiastic stretches of time that football fans can possibly imagine. It makes us burst with joy at the seams watching the last-minute trades, the from-out-of-nowhere gambles, the late-round sleepers….it's enough to make a diehard football fan just want to go to sleep and wake up in late August.
The Seahawks are in an interesting spot for this year's draft. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you'll know the team traded away its first-round pick (#25 overall) to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for top-flight receiver/punt returner/general badass extraordinaire Percy Harvin. John Schneider and Pete Carroll later went on to say they're treating Harvin as their first-round pick, which is an otherwise nice way of saying "Percy is better than anyone you could possibly draft in the first round this year, because nobody knows what the hell's going on." Better to just trade that pick for a proven commodity who can do everything you'd ever want in a read-option offense – and who also happens to only be 24 years old. That's at least 45 years younger than Brandon Weeden.
With the offense like a loaded gun waiting to be fired in the general direction of San Francisco at this point, the Seahawks appear to be going to the defense with their first pick this year (#56 overall, in the second round.) There are a few prospects that come to mind here, but the one that's intrigued me the most is the Estonian Beast, DE Margus Hunt.
As an Olympic athlete, this 6-8 behemoth of a man is a former discus thrower, and played football for the first time in his life at SMU over the past two years. He routinely gave opposing QBs nightmares, and would even-more-routinely use opposing offensive linemen as giant meaty weapons when chasing them. He's like some kind of ruthless gladiator who looks constantly angry about the fact that there's a man trying to throw a football in front of him. MARGUS DISAPPROVES OF YOUR FUTILE ATTEMPTS AT PASSING.
For a while, Hunt was the draft's best-kept secret. But that was only until his Combine performance. He posted record-shattering numbers in Indy, including a 4.60 time in the 40-yard dash.
In case you're keeping track at home, DeAndre Hopkins, one of this draft's most-buzzed wide receivers, ran a 4.57. Hopkins is 7 inches shorter and 80 pounds lighter than Hunt.
But with a performance like that, the secret about Hunt could no longer be kept. The entire league immediately took notice of him, and his stock shot up draft boards so fast that he was suddenly in the discussion for a first-round pick. And as if to add insult to injury, he's now been mocked several times as going to the 49ers at No. 31 overall.
If the Hawks don't get him — and they likely won't, barring any unexpected manuevering back into the first round — all I ask of the Football Gods is that he doesn't go to SF. That can't be too much to ask, right?
So let's say Hunt is off the board when the Hawks are on the clock. (Hawk around the clock? Hawk out with your clock out? Alright, I'll stop.) What happens then? While this draft might be completely divided on who's actually any good, one thing John and Pete have proven time and again is that they're not afraid to reach for a player they've evaluated as meeting their scheme when they can get him, and they don't give a shit what you or Mel Kiper thinks about it.
Here's my vote for the Margus Hunt Fallback Plan –
This guy – Alabama DT Jesse Williams, nicknamed "Tha Monstar."
Note the spelling of the nickname – it's on purpose. He's a native of Brisbane, Australia, and hails from a rugby background. He stands at a monolithic 6-3, 323 pounds, and posted a 600-pound bench press at the Combine. That's like bench pressing three Russell Wilsons.
Williams is 22, and earned an all-Southeastern Conference second team selection in 2012. He ran an impressive but not Margus Hunt-equal 4.90 in the 40-yard dash, which is still damn impressive considering he's the size of a small Humvee. Williams would add a solid run-stopping element to the Seahawks' interior d-line, pairing nicely with Brandon Mebane and newly-signed Tony McDaniel.
Plus, Williams has face tattoos, and got one to commemorate Alabama's victory over LSU in the NCAA national championship. Who doesn't want a 300-pound defensive tackle with FACE TATTOOS on their team???
The Seahawks are without many sure-fire needs going into this draft, and could easily pick the best player available at 56 overall. And that best player just might be this monstrosity of a human being from Alabama.
But he's still not Margus Hunt.
