On Friday the news finally became official that former Blake standout Michael McFarland, who redshirted last season as a true freshman with the Florida Gators has transferred to USF.
The 6-foot-5, 245 pound tight end was added to the current USF roster and has begun practicing with the team.
This is news that USFNation members have known about through editions of quick hits and been expecting the official word for weeks. In case you've been living under a rock or aren't a subscriber here's the skinny on McFarland.
Coming out of high school, the former Blake stand-out was a four-star prospect and rated the No. 12 tight end in the country by Scout.com. Besides tight end he also played a number of positions including quarterback, wide receiver, tight end, D-end, and linebacker, but had all the tools to develop as a top tight end and was recruited as such. McFarland had plenty of offers out of high school, but chose the Gators.
McFarland enrolled early at UF in January of 2010 and dressed for three Florida games during his career as a Gator against Miami, USF and Kentucky, but never played as a true freshman. In 2011 he was held out of Florida's spring game in April with an ankle injury. This summer he asked for his transfer release and got it.
When USFNation spoke to McFarland back in July he said he left Florida on good terms, but wanted to get closer to home due to his father's illness
"I want to stay close because my pops is sick right now," said McFarland. "He's a big part of my life and has always been there for me."
McFarland said that he asked for a release to several programs but due to many reasons USF was his top choices.
"Yeah USF is my top one," said McFarland. "I can't get any closer to home then that. They've also done a lot with the program and the facilities. But the big thing is they have so many players that I know that it be a great place for me."
"I have a lot of my boys that go there, a whole bunch," said McFarland. Andre (Davis), Dontae (Aycock), T-Rex, Ruben (Gonzalez), and (Chris) Dunkley, that's my dog"
USF has made it known that they want to create a wall around Tampa, and get a lot of top talent to stay at home and play for the Bulls and that stood out to McFarland.
"They have a lot of Tampa players and it would be crazy with all of us there," said McFarland. "It would be something, especially with all of us playing on the same side of the ball. We'd have all that chemistry and it would be something to see."
McFarland said he wanted to get it done soon as possible and hoped to be enrolled by early August, but had to wait for things to get worked out.
Over the last few weeks McFarland has been to USF many times. The former local star was at the USF Sling & Shoot in July and was there cheering on several current high school players he's friends with.
Recently McFarland and his family were at USF checking things out and talking with members of the staff, and even though he couldn't say much he made it known that he wanted to come to USF, and talked about all the Tampa players he knows and how he would love to be part of the hometown team that is ready to do big things.
McFarland said earlier in the week that he would know something by this Saturday, but fortunately the news came sooner.
The former local star attended the Bulls first practice as a spectator and then after getting all the former details worked out, was added to the current roster and immediately joined the team for their second session of practice on Friday.
Now that McFarland is on the team, USF will be seeking a hardship waiver due to his father's illness that would allow him to play immediately this fall, and have four years of eligibility with the Bulls.

As one of the newest and youngest members of the Barlow Homemakers Club, I learn and laugh about many things that people my age do not. The monthly meetings are full of laughter, lessons and good food. I have learned a great deal from my fellow club members.
Last month a group of Cynthiana High School graduates visited with Mrs. Ron Ford at her home in Winchester, Ky. She and her husband recently purchased the old Colbyville Station Tavern and have since brought the old tavern back to its original beginnings. They have added two wings one of which was her beautiful glassed-in kitchen.
While deciding to add an addition to the present house they went in search for matching bricks which brought them to the Griffith home in Harrison County.

Blue Grass Energy if the first to locate at the business park on Seabiscuit Way with $4.1 million construction project.
(StatePoint) The work week can be busy and stressful, from shuttling the family around to packing everyone's lunch.
If you're constantly taking care of others, ask yourself, are you taking sufficient care of yourself? At mealtime, it's important to take a minute to re-energize, particularly during a long work day.
Rather than ordering heavy meals or packing the same old thing day in and day out, find yourself other quick and tasty lunch ideas that are satisfying and have nutritional value.
Here are some things to keep in mind.

Most people arrive in Belize by air land at the Belize International Airport in Ladyville which is only 10 miles outside of Belize City. If you want to take a taxi into Belize City from the airport, note that the fare for regulated taxis is a fixed fee -- expect to pay $25 USD (2014 price). Other non-regulated taxis may charge differently.
The following link will give you information for transportation to Caye Caulker by Caye Caulker Water Taxi Co. http://www.cayecaulkerwatertaxi.com/ .
Find Caulker Water Taxi at #10 North Front Street.
Departure times are between 8am and 5:30pm. Round trip fare to Caye Caulker is currently $17.50 US (2014 prices).
For those whose final destinations is San Pedro on Ambergris Cayedaily excursions by water taxi will get you there and leave from the Swing Bridge at Haulover Creek. Check the above link for the latest information, prices, times, etc. The current price is US $27.50 r/t (adult)(2014). Ambergris Caye can also be reached by plane.
If you take the rental car option, car rental offices are just outside the airport terminal and you will find other locations around town as well.
You'll most likely begin your trip to Belize by flying into Belize City (actually its suburb, called Ladyville), unless you're a cruise ship passenger. This airport appeared a little more organized this time around than it did on our first trip here in 1996, when it was a total cattle call at the Tropic Air ticket counter - no lines or anything, just a crowd of people pressing up to the counter.
Be aware that there's an exit tax that must be paid in cash when you leave the country - some airline tickets include this tax in the ticket price, some don't. It was $35US. When you arrive, it's about a half hour taxi ride into the city, for a set rate of $20US. Or, if you're not staying in Belize City, you can transfer to one of the local airlines, Tropic Air or Maya Air, to continue on to the cayes or elsewhere within the country.
There's a little ice cream counter across from the ticket counters that sells ice cream mixed with several different fresh fruits. Or if you prefer refreshments of another kind, there's a bar once you pass through the metal detector.
We flew American Airlines. Be advised that meals may not be served on airlines so plan ahead and bring something to munch.
Blackbird Caye Resort had a driver drove us from the airport to Princess Marina. The Blackbird's boat took almost 2 hours in the dark and driving rain to safely land at the resort. Great driving by Jr., our boat Captain.
Mopan River Resort picked us up at Princess Marina for the 2 hour drive to the resort through rural countryside.
Cost of transportation is included in these excellant resort prices.
I'll always fly American Airlines, that's unless I don't have another choice. Flying to Belize from NYC was quite easy with American Airlines. They have many flights daily with connections in either Dallas or Miami. We flew from Newark making our connection in Dallas on the outbound, and on our return flight home we connected via Miami.
The flight attendants on each of our flights were funny, easy going and complying with any request (the person on the aisle seat sitting next to Miriam made an unusal request, but the flight attendant was most obliging).
During your flight, the flight attendants will hand you the obligatory customs forms, so make sure to fill them out prior arriving at the airport.
Be advised, that although this is considered an international flight there is no food service on these flights other than beverages (unless you fly in Business or First), but they do have food for sale, or alternatively you can purchase food prior to boarding.

The running back said that physically he believes he's close to resuming a normal practice routine.
"I feel like 85, 90 percent (healthy)," Lewis stated. "The 10 percent is my stamina right now. That's the only thing I feel that I'm missing. Other than that, we'll just take it day by day and I'll be back very soon.
"I just need to get through conditioning. The trainers are doing what they're doing, so they're taking it as a slow process. I say by Thursday of next week I should be in full pads."
Arizona State head coach Dennis Erickson said that Lewis underwent a physical exam which allowed him to conditioning work during Thursday's practice. However, a strength test and other examinations will be needed before he can increase his workout load.
"He's running and we will see where he's at," Erickson said. "Our doctors are looking at him and that's all I can tell you. He has a chance to play and we'll see how he progresses.
"But he's here and in good spirits, feels good and we'll see what the doctors have to say."
Lewis spent most of his summer back home in Norco, Calif. and indicated that during that time he underwent an intense rehab process six days a week.
"The only day I had a break was Sunday and that's God's day," he said with a smile. "That was day to pray for my comeback. It felt like I healed pretty fast, knowing I got shot."
Deantre Lewis was at a relative's house in Riverside, Calif. on February 12th of this year, when he was shot in his buttocks by a stray bullet. Naturally, being a shooting victim taxes one mentally, as much as it does physically. The running back acknowledged that his mind was quicker to heal than his body.
"I went through a lot with that," Lewis said of his mental state. "My mind is like this is the year I want to take off, but then again I strive to be out here with my team. They want me back here, I want to be back here. I just want to be part of the team this year."
The sophomore feels that his body's strength and mobility took a while to get back to their normal level, but that it's no longer an issue.
"My muscles were not reacting to what I wanted to do but everything is fine now," Lewis remarked. "It's just the regular conditioning that I just got to get over with."
Lewis admitted that even as late as last month, he had his doubts whether he could come back and play in the 2011 season.
"It was getting over that last hump and getting my speed back," Lewis explained. "People kept telling me it was going to take hard work and it was going to be the hardest thing I ever did in my life. I believed them.
"I somehow fought through it and every time I went to sleep I prayed that I would be better the next day and come back stronger than I was before."
Lewis said that the whole experience psychologically has been "hell" and he never thought that he would have to train his body all over again to do things he was always accustomed to doing. Nonetheless, this process did carry some benefit.
"It's always been given to me," Lewis admitted. "But this makes me mentally stronger. Everybody said I had all the talent in the world, but the only thing I felt I was missing was the mental part of my talent."
Lewis was one of the standout offensive players last year for the Sun Devils. He bursted on the scene as a true freshman and rushed for 539 yards and four touchdowns, as well as catching 23 passes for 370 yards and two touchdowns.
The running back thinks that returning in time for ASU's season opener on Sep. 1st may be too early for him and his recovery schedule, but he is confident that he will see the field this fall.
"I don't plan on redshirting this season," Lewis said.

It varies, when a smoker draws on a lit cigarette, the temperature of the cigarette coal rises rapidly from its resting (smouldering) temperature of around 600 °C (1112 °F), while the peak puff temperatures at the outer edge of the coal can exceed 900 °C (1652 °F) during a 35 mL, 2-sec puff.
The high temperature inside the coal causes an increase in the stickiness of the air flowing through and a concomitant increase in the resistance to the draw of air through the coal. This effect forces air to be drawn mainly into the periphery of the coal around the paper burn line, which causes more complete combustion in this peripheral region.
A burning cigarette is a compound system in which many forms of chemical reactions and physical processes occur. There are two main areas inside the burning zone: a combustion zone and a pyrolysis/distillation zone. At the combustion zone, oxygen reacts with carbonized tobacco creating simple gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen, along with the heat that sustains burning. Immediately downstream of the burning zone is the cooler pyrolysis/distillation zone, where the bulk of the 5000 or so chemicals in smoke are created.
Just recently, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 1.6 million Americans tried to quit and at least 100,000 likely succeeded as a result of graphic ads that showed how real ex-smokers had suffered paralysis, stroke, lung removal, heart attacks and limb amputations.

The Washington, DC Job Market
Are you looking for careers in Washington, DC? Washington, DC, according to 2013 official government figures, contains a population of roughly 646,500. On top of that, the city of Washington, DC, since 2013 BLS data, shows a median residential overall wage level of roughly $68,000. Washington's cost of living, as of 2013, was just about 125 out of 100, which happens to be significantly higher than the United States average.
As recent as 2014, Washington had an unemployment rate of just about 7.6%. Furthermore,this is higher than the countrywide average unemployment level, as recent as late 2015. That may be well worth pondering if you may be seeking out careers around the city, living in a different place and searching in adjacent locations, or if you are searching for towns and cities worthy of moving to, which also have decent job possibilities.

What is multispectral imaging?
The colors we see in light are defined by the wavelength of that light. Plants absorb and reflect light differently depending on this wavelength. Plants typically absorb blue light and red light, while reflecting some green light. They also reflect a much larger amount of near-infrared (NIR) light, which is not visible to the human eye but is visible to multispectral cameras like RedEdge and Sequoia. The reflectance curve of a typical plant is shown below. Reflectance is the percent of light that is reflected by the plant.
By measuring the reflectance of a plant at different wavelengths, multispectral imaging enables identification of areas of stress in a crop, and provides a quantitative metric for the vigor of a plant.
How do multispectral cameras work?
Multispectral cameras work by imaging different wavelengths of light. Professional multispectral cameras have multiple imagers, each with a special optical filter that allows only a precise set of light wavelengths to be captured by that imager. The output of the camera is a set of images for that particular wavelength. These sets of images are then stitched together to create geographically accurate mosaics, with multiple layers for each wavelength. Mathematically combining these layers yields vegetation indices. There are many types of vegetation indices that measure different characteristics of a plant.
Some indices are useful for measuring chlorophyll content of plant leaves, which can provide a reliable indicator of nitrogen status and help inform fertilizer management decisions. Other indices can be used to estimate the amount of leaf area per unit ground area (leaf area index) and help identify within-field differences in crop development or vigor. One popular index is the Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI), created by combining the reflectance from red and NIR light.
How do professional multispectral cameras differ from single-imager multispectral cameras?
A single-imager multispectral camera uses a blocking filter combined with the standard camera's built-in filter to capture information in 3 wavelengths of light. Because these imagers aren't optimized for remote sensing, the built-in filters are wideband and suffer from data contamination from neighboring bands. This figure shows a comparison of narrowband optical filters and the filters used in a typical single-imager camera.
A professional multispectral camera like RedEdge or Sequoia uses narrowband filters with known characteristics combined with factory calibration parameters, enabling accurate measurements of reflectance that a converted camera simply cannot match.

Hi Mtrimmins, welcome to the forum I hope you will like it here.
Unfortunately I don't own any Diego paintings but I would be interesting in hearing (and seeing) more about that
I have 8 Diego oils. Do you have any idea if he is valuable?
Hi Sherry1 , welcome to the forum
Do you mean Diego Rivera paintings?
Hello Mtrimmins:
My husband and I lived in Germany for 4 years in the late 60's and early 70's and have 4 pieces of art work by Diego Voci. We have no idea of value; one is pastel, one oil, two chalk. Interested in chatting with anyone about Diego who has his work.
Retired, welcome to the board I am happy you joined us!
For some more discussion about Diego Voci you might want to look at:
this thread (please click) here
I have tried and tried but keep getting dead ended. We were lucky enough to know him during our time in Stuttgart 71-74....I am always looking to buy another one.....he such a great variety of paintings....just dont have a clue the value...I do know we paid a lot for them in the 70's but worth every dime...and its unlikely we would sell one...but would like to know what you have....if you send me an email I will send you pictures. I just saw the browser below...the other 2 are with my son.
Mary from Palm Springs
Mary, if you could put up a photo here on the forum that would be great. Maybe others will be attracted to it who can provide more information as to the value of his paintings. You are so lucky to have known him personally
Just saw this Diego thread. We were in Germany in the 70's and attended many of Diego's wine and cheese and oh by the way take a painting home and see if you like it functions.
I can still see Diego walking around with a glass of wine and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
We ended up with close to 15 oils,prints, tempera and chalk works.
One time, by daughter ask him if he would paint her a horse and he sat down in his studio and in less than 15 minutes had an action packed herd of horses running across the landscape. She treasures it to this day.
Art is only valuable to the beholder and his art has given us untold riches over the years. I'm sure that he will have a significant following in a generation. His work is unique and timeless. At least we think so.
Thank to all for this site as it has been hard to get information on him over the years.
Hello FORMERMIL, welcome to the forum I hope you will like it here. Thank you for this precious info.
I have come to know this
"Most of his work that resides in the United States was purchased by Americans living in Europe - mostly military or IBM employees."
(taken from the Internet)
I have four of Diego's lithographs given me by his wife Helga. My family and I lived in their home after Diego passed away. (Helga had converted Diego's studio into an apartment). It was a wonderful time and we so enjoyed living there.
Wow, isn't it something? All of you having known either or both Diego himself and/or his wife? It is such a coincidence you all meet up here
I'm sure that there are hundreds and hundreds of Diego patrons. He was at very many arts and craft shows and could be seen a most any Sunday at an officers club somewhere in Germany.
Can anyone remember his sales assistants name? It escapes me right now, but she and Helga were wonderful. They made it easy to buy a much needed piece of art
It would be interesting to get all the people who knew him together at one place and maybe start a website for him since there is so little to be found on the internet about him
Any suggestions as to how to get the word out? Craigs list? You tube?
Google? There must be some site that asks people to contact this and that. Isn't there?
The problem is that there are so many sites that offer to get 'reunited'. I think though those are no good for finding people who knew Diego Voci since their not each other's friends but all friends/acquaintances of him.
I would probably register at many forums (especially of course art forums) and put a link in my signature sentence to for all that knew him to contact me.
Do you think this is a good idea?
I think his sales assistant's name was Christine
Yes, that is her name. They really put on a great show and of course the art was wonderful.
I am attaching a nice piece of Diego's work.
Sorry about that but my pictures were too big. I don't know how to get them smaller.
Steve you can resize photos via the internet:
Great suggestion. Learn something new every hour.
Here are the resized pictures.
And another.
Whoops. A twofer. Let me try again.
One more.
Wowww they're so beautiful
No "title" to them, though?
I am Diegos niece. Unfortunately i never get to know him. I was a baby when he died. His widow - my aunt - Helga is still alive and is still living in Wiedbaden (Germany). Her englisch is quite good and if you are interested in anything, just call her: 0049-6128-72426. Some other relatives of Diego are going to create a homepage about him - coming soon.
Thank you so much for the information. It is nice to know that Helga is doing well and that there is a possibility of a Diego "retrospective." I wonder if Helga has a list of names of those who purchased Diego's work as there may be a way to reach them and invite as many as possible to join in on our discussions.
I have been trying to find out if Diego's work had been recognized in Germany over the years. Google doesn't seem to bring up much on him. We can start our own history and retrospective right here, thanks to Mona.
Christiane please pass to Helga and others in Germany that there is a Diego following here in the United America.
Hey Steve,
i don�t know if there is a list with people, who own some of his artworks. There are a lot of paintings in Helgas house, some in the house of my mother and one in my flat. It´s my favourite. I don´t know if there is a title...It would be very nice to organize a Diego-reunion, it´s a great idea.
What a great piece of art. I love the movement surrounding an otherwise haunting Mona Lisa beauty - some sadness and resignation in the mouth and lips, yet penetrating complexity in the eyes projecting strength.
If we can't have a reunion in person maybe a web-based reunion would suffice.
I bought one painting in Karlsruhe Germany in 1973. It is an oil with three men. It looks like a son a father and a grandfather.We love it

Hi everyone and thanks for all the advice, I'm going to order one from Ford tomorrow, better to be safe than sorry I'm thinking, I just want it back to how it was. Thanks again everyone Regards
mixmasterlooney liked a post in a topic: Focus Zetec S Damage
Thanks Hyrule
Thanks for the advice Hyrule, I will keep an eye out for one on ebay and sites like that, but looks like I will have to buy the part from Ford, are they easy to fit does anyone know as I don't really want to pay extra for Ford to fit it
Hi Steads, thanks for the reply, the main bumper on the car is fine and has no damage, its the grey trim at the bottom thats damaged, by the looks of it they tried to grab bit in the middle that looks like steps and yank it off resulting in snapping the steps, i just have the middle bit missing, i have attached a photo to show you the part they snapped, they must have thrown the snapped part as well. My focus is black colour, thanks again for the reply and spending time to help with my problem. Regards
Thanks Steve
Panth posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi all, first time post. I recently decided to buy a Focus Zetec S on a 09 plate, Love the car to bits and have always wanted one, i came back from holiday this time last week to discover some had tried to steal ( i think its called diffuser) the grey bit at the bottom of the rear bumper and not done the best job resulting in it being damaged. i looked on the ford website and to replace it will be £250, with just buying the car and my holiday im not in the position to spend this amount of money at the moment, i was just wondering if any of you guys know or could recommend a cheaper alternative until i am in a postion to buy one from ford. i have seen some on ebay from China and some from Poland but unsure on fit or quality. i would be grateful for any advice on this. thanks in advance.

Another style guide generator that parses comments in CSS.
If you don't comment your CSS, you'll confuse other people looking at your code, and, more embarrassingly, you'll confuse future you. If you do comment CSS, everybody will be less confused, and things will be accidentally broken less often. You will be popular and generally well-liked, and people will remember to send you cards on your birthday. Comment more.
Some good advice here on how to write better comments in CSS.
A tool for generating a pattern library from Markdown comments in CSS. This isn't the way that I tend to work, but I can see how it would be quite handy.
Here's an interesting approach to making comments more meaningful:
Instead of blindly publishing whatever people submit, we first ask them to rate the quality and civility on 3 randomly-selected comments, as well as their own. It's a bit more work for the commenter, but the end result is a community built on trust and respect, not harassment and abuse.
Proving something that Derek Powazek told us 15 years ago:
When we clearly show what is and is not acceptable, the tone does change. People who want to share thoughtful comments start to feel that theirs are welcome, and people who want to spew hatred start to realize theirs are not.
D'hear that, Reddit?
This is a nifty little service: if your site has a webmention endpoint, people can comment on your articles by sending an email.
That means you can comment on any post on my site by sending an email to email@example.com (in the email, include the URL of the post you're commenting on).
Stuart has implemented webmentions on his site, which is great. It's also fitting, as he is the inventor of pingback (of which webmention is a simpler reformulation).
Aaron documents the process of adding webmention support to a static site. He came with an ingenious three-tiered approach:
It's been a pretty fun mini-project. In the end, I created a useful bit of kit that provides three distinct experiences:
- Static webmentions collected when the site was generated form the baseline experience;
In the days before comments on blogs, you could generally have a thoughtful conversation online without everything degenerating into madness and chaos simply because responding to a post required that you wrote a post on your own blog and linked back. This created a certain level of default accountability because if someone wanted to flame you, they had to do it on their own real estate, and couldn't just crap all over yours anonymously.
A wonderful collection of misconceptions, often the result of being myzelled when young.
PPK has switched off comments for much the same reason that I hardly ever have comments on adactio.com: our sites are places for us to broadcast rather than have a conversation.
What he said. "The wonderful thing about the web is that anyone can contribute to it. If you have something to say, there are plenty of places to say it. But your right to post to someone else's site rests with that someone else."
This little quiz is surprisingly addictive: match the inane comment to the YouTube video.
A self-documenting explanation of why John Gruber doesn't have comments on his site.
Because the internet needs prophylactics for memetically transmitted diseases.
Here's a handy little trick from Paul: use conditional comments to add a class to your BODY element, allowing you to target IE without a separate stylesheet.

Following on from my thoughts about comments on blogs, this video resonates.
This transcription of John Gruber's justification for not having comments makes for superb reading. This is what blogging is really about.
Not if John keeps writing posts as good as this is, it's not.
Hallelujah! I've been waiting for Flickr to add this method. Now the API is truly complete.
Jeffrey's only gone and turned on comments. Who's next? Joe? Me? I just hope he remembers the corollary of Sturgeon's Law for blogs.
Someone else who doesn't have comments enabled on his site explains his reasons.

Hackers are using social media and less obvious technical exploits to target a wider variety of computer systems
Six years later, the Stuxnet virus was discovered and wiped away any remaining illusions about the security of ICS or "security by obscurity."
Cyber security threats facing SCADA and other industrial control systems continue to evolve and hacking techniques have shifted from frontal assaults to more stealthy approaches. That's the outlook from Jonathan Pollet of Red Tiger Security, and an instructor at SANS.
"Denial-of-service attacks are less common now," explained Pollet.
Instead, hackers now look to quietly plant bugs that remain on computer systems below the security radar so that they can collect more information about the target system and construct more sophisticated attacks.
They are also making increasing use of new technologies as well as good old fashioned social engineering to gain information about the systems they want to infiltrate.
One test conducted by security researchers used a stock photo of a pretty model and a bogus profile to build a network of high-ranking military and government figures. Within two months "Robin Sage" had not only built a formidable number of friends but was also able to get many of them to share sensitive information about the systems they worked with.
"Robin" was a guy, by the way—a small irony in a much larger story, but it points to the capacity for deception that lies in social media networks.
Pollet outlined a few best practices (e.g., white listing, device-level firewalls and simply using the authentication capabilities that come with the given system). These can at least keep ICS safe from novices hacking after school. But he also suggested ICS operators go on the offensive and start collecting information not only on cyber security threats and software loopholes but also on the groups who might seek to do them harm.
No system is entirely secure, but as cyber security threats continue to evolve in tandem with the technologies we use in our daily lives, it makes sense that ICS operators would want to move toward a more pro-active posture.

Tampa Bay is currently up 3-0 on the Washington Capitals, but it is never too early to look ahead and see what the coming offseason has in store for us.
It's no secret that Steven Stamkos is an emerging superstar in the league. While he might not be ready for the "best in the world" label that was placed on his earlier this year, he certainly is going to draw a good deal of attention when his contract expires at the end of the year.
Now obviously, this list excludes the Tampa Bay Lightning because it's no secret that they are going move mountains in order to resign the young goal scorer. As a restricted free agent, Tampa has the right to match any offer that Stamkos receives, although I'm sure they would like to lock him up before July 1st rolls around.
But what fun would it be just to say Stamkos is going to resign with his current team? Here are five teams with the desire and capability to take a run at the 21-year-old Richard trophy winner.

text: free speech Government Can't Deny Trademarks Over Offensive Names, Appeals Court Rules By Eyder Peralta • Dec 22, 2015 An Asian-American rock-band with an eyebrow-raising name has scored a big victory in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The court ruled that their name — The Slants — is private speech and therefore protected by the First Amendment. The government, the court writes, has no business trying to regulate it by denying the band a trademark. Court Considers Controversial Northwest Bus Ad SPOKANE, Wash. - The question of how free speech applies to the side of buses is before a panel of federal judges. Members of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments Wednesday in a special meeting in Spokane. The case stems from a controversial ad on Seattle buses but has implications for transit systems around the Northwest. A group called the Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign bought the ad in 2010. It shows children standing next to the rubble of a destroyed building. The text says, "Israeli War Crimes: Your Tax Dollars At Work." King County Executive puts brakes on non-commercial Metro bus advertising By KPLU News Staff • Dec 23, 2010 King County Executive Dow Constantine says the escalation of global interest in a bus placard critical of Israel introduces significant security concerns and makes Metro buses vulnerable to disruption. Because of this, he's approved an interim policy that calls for a halt to the acceptance of any new non-commercial advertising on King County buses. Metro expects to complete work on a permanent transit ad policy by the end of January.

The music video for the pop singer's cartoonish new single "C'Mon Let Me Ride" had been seen millions of times on YouTube, and the gig during the all-important South by Southwest Music Conference was a chance to create some buzz around her new material. »Read Full Article

These people, moments made pop culture pop in 2013
Miley Cyrus didn't get a Grammy nomination. "Duck Dynasty" was snubbed by the Emmys. And "Anchorman 2" won't be staying classy at the Oscars.
But in our eyes, they're award-worthy. Because love 'em or hate 'em, millions talked (or tweeted) about them. And along with North West and 'N Sync, "Breaking Bad" and Paula Deen breaking down, they made pop culture pop in 2013. »Read Full Article(1)

For Immediate Release
OSHA Trade Release
July 15, 2003
Contact: Bill Wright
Phone: (202) 693-1999
Alliance will Promote Safer Working Conditions for Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Workers
WASHINGTON -- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Executive Control Board of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) will work together to advance a culture of injury and illness prevention in the shipbuilding and repair industry, OSHA Administrator John Henshaw announced today.
In a signing ceremony at the Northrop Grumman-Ship Systems Ingalls Operations in Pascagoula, MS, OSHA and NSRP formalized an Alliance to advance safety and health for workers in the areas of shipbuilding and ship repair processes.
"We welcome the collective expertise of NSRP in helping to ensure that shipyard workers are protected on the job," Henshaw said. "We continue to focus on this industry to reduce the high rates of injuries and illnesses occurring in shipyard work, and we're especially pleased that the members of NSRP want to join us in this collaborative effort for improving worker's safety and health."
"We're pleased to enter into this Alliance agreement with OSHA," added Mike Powell, Chairman, NSRP Executive Control Board. "The NSRP believes this relationship will allow us to work even more closely with the agency to our mutual benefit. We feel this Alliance will stimulate technologies and resultant programs that will reduce injuries and illnesses associated with construction and repair of naval vessels and ultimately reduce costs of these warships and enhance U.S. international competitiveness."
The Alliance calls for increased access to enhanced training and hazard identification and control programs. OSHA and NSRP will work together to provide recommendations on how to improve shipbuilding-related training and education courses.
Injury and hazard trends will be one part of the information developed and disseminated at conferences, speaking events, and through print and electronic media, to include both organizations' websites. Industry safety and health professionals and OSHA staff will be cross-trained in NSRP's best practices or effective approaches as jointly agreed to by both partners. OSHA and NSRP will also convene and participate in stakeholder meetings, forums, or roundtable discussions to help develop solutions to shipbuilding and ship repair hazards.
Two other maritime Alliance program participants - the Shipbuilders Council of America and the American Shipbuilding Association - will work with NSRP and OSHA to finish development of an electronic assistance tool for the maritime industry on OSHA's website that will address specific shipbuilding safety and health hazards.
The NSRP was created in 1970 and has become a nationally-recognized model for government/industry research programs, with the goal of developing more economical construction approaches to shipbuilding.
OSHA is dedicated to assuring worker safety and health. Safety and health add value to business, the workplace and life. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.

- Is Backdooring frowned upon?
SexualPizza 4 years ago#21
In DotA yes (used to be a bannable offense) but not in LoL since the map is smaller (so defending is easier) and there are no super stealth/teleport heroes (build full AD to sneak around and destroy turrets).
LOL are you kidding me? Using a strategy within the confines of the game's own design and mechanics was a bannable offense? That's almost as stupid as denying!

Shen can backdoor all the time... Frowned upon?? not a chance
drink Russian, drive German, wear Italian.
I backdoored 2 rounds ago with Teemo.... It won us the match. It took me a couple trips to finish the job though.
The enemy was near our base. So I ran to their bot tower. Got it almost dead.
Hid in a bush. Their Darius came and stood right on top of me. Then recalled.
I finished the tower, got ganked.
Then went back for their inhibitor. Got that down.
Then took down another turret the same way.
If I had not have done that, there would have been no way for us to win. We needed those super minions.
Cheap tactic, but it gets the job done.

You both are highly ignorant.
EDIT: On-topic: Backdooring is easily prevented in league as said above due to the map being MUCH smaller, only people frustrated with losing/getting outplayed would make a fuss about it.
In Dota 2 the game has built in back-door protection, this means that unless you have creeps within a certain radius the tower will regen at a very fast pace, later in the game however you can easily out damage the regen but that's as much as I know. Not 100% if other factors are taken into account with a tower getting that kind of protection as a couple times I swear I've seen it not activate when creeps were not around. So who knows.
.. and you could never be banned for it, atleast not in Dota 2, my Dota 1 days, the worst that would happen was some random pub game maker would ban you from his future games on BNet, but rarely anyone would back door from my experience, leavers were a big problem though,
hes lying about backdooring being a bannable offense.
its called split push
if your team is doing fine and can hold 4v5.
while you push, there gonna have to send somebody to come after you.

I've won with Nasus due to backdooring. We had both teams nearly even and with both teams having a inhib. Enemy team nearly aced us and then went to baron. Before being nearly aced I asked Taric to place down a ward in thier base. By the time they came to push we had enough people to sort of hold them for a short while.
I teleported to their base and my team prevented them from recalling and at about 50 minutes I was taking down turrets and the nexus fast.

No. He's not. And a split push is very different from bd. Backdooring is when you ignore the creeps entirely. In DotA, some hero builds could take a tower in seconds and had enough mobility to jump across the map by the time your team reacted and got there. On top of that, backdooring is heavily frowned upon in every wc3 AoS because it takes the fun out of the game and makes it clear that you're only interested in a win.
However, LoL ALREADY has countermeasures to backdooring in the form of turrets being more powerful while no minions are around and increasing damage while firing on a single target. So I would say if you can take a turret here, go for it.
Check out my quote.
Uh, isn't backdooring killing turrets without any minions there? And yeah there is still a protection against that in DotA.
It's pretty impossible to do that viably in LoL but split pushing is good, not frowned upon and some champions are specialized in that, like Nidalee or Shen.

It's been some years since I touched OpenGL, and I'm wanting to relearn it and apply it to my library written in C++/Win32 API. I know OpenGL has gone through some changes, so I'm assuming my header and lib files are probably out of date. According to my computer, I have OpenGL version 3.1.
What's the modern setup with OpenGL and the Win32 API?

#include <D3D11.h> // I'm being facetious of course... or am I?
I find the easiest way to use GL (on Windows or elsewhere) is via a windowing/input library like SDL2 or GLFW or SFML. Combine these with GLEW to access all of GL. Avoid GLUT or FreeGLUT.
I find GLFW easiest to use for small-medium uses. It lets you concentrate on just GL without any other fluff. SDL2 is my preferred "whole package" library, though some C++ users have a strong preference for SFML and it's C++-iness (which I find is more baggage than help given that I write my own high-level wrappers anyway, but that's me).
http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/ I've heard this site recommended. It has plenty of SDL2 tutorials. Lessons 01, 03, 04, 49, and 50 and probably the most relevant to you.
GLFW's documentation should be all you need to get up and running with it on GL; it's that simple. In particular, the tutorial covers almost everything you need to know (aside from using GLEW, but there's not much to that).

Thanks for the recommendations, though I have my own library with the Win32 API similar to SFML, though it doesn't have a name yet. "Awesome" sounds like a good name though. I enjoyed SFML in the past, but I kept dropping into OS-specific code because SFML had no way to call them (it has to stay portable, so they just give you the window handle to deal with things they haven't implemented), so that was a drawback for myself. Since I'm dropping into OS-specific code, I figured I mind as well use the Win32 API in full to take advantage of the system. However, it made me a better OS programmer and less dependent on high abstractions, and now it looks like SFML. I still enjoy the benefits of SFML and I'm looking forward to their iOS release. DirectX is great too, but my career interest requires an understanding of OpenGL/OpenGL:ES. Anyway, enough thinking there. Tools are great, but one must decide what is needed for any given application.
Speaking of that, so what I need is GLEW for C++/Win32 API?

It just handles wrapping the extension API in order to expose the functionality of your driver. Especially on Windows, as Microsoft only support GL 1.2 in their SDK, requiring you to use the extension API to access any newer functionality. It's handy on other platforms, too, but it (or a library like it) is for all intents and purposes mandatory on Windows.

I've moved this design to Shapeways because I can offer it there in so many materials and finishes. Their polished metals are amazing, the steel is made by the same people who do mine, and the plastics are cute and cheap.
Accordingly I'm selling off my stock in steel: it's a good price but when they're gone they're gone. I'm out of bronze-finish ones (they're here) but I still have some in gold.

Linux Beta from Google's Chrome Browser
Google has released the first beta version of its Chrome browser for Linux and Mac OS for download. Until now, only an open source variation, Chromium, has been Linux compatible.
As Mark Larson from Google's Chrome Team reports in his blog, the beta is based on the code-base of release 22.214.171.124, but also brings support for HTML 5 video tagging, which failed to function in the Chromium variation with the same version number. The beta Linux version can be downloaded here.
A few days have past since Google split the Chromium branch from the official Chrome version. Chromium is now in version 4.0.260 and comes with support for bookmark synchronization.

Netanyahu won. Here's how to beat him
By accepting that the two-state solution will just have to wait until Israel is ready to accept it, the White House has effectively conceded to Netanyahu's strategy: declare support for two states — in theory — while continuing to deny Palestinians their most basic rights and liberties. Benjamin Netanyahu's strategy for defeating the prospect of Palestinian statehood has always been to stall. Sure, he introduced a few tactical roadblocks along the way like "security zones" and demanding recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, but the wider strategy has always been to feign engagement until momentum swings back in his favor.…Read More... | 12 Comments

Kelly throws more at his four quarterbacks
Associated Press | Last updated April 14, 2012
As head coach Brian Kelly and offensive coordinator Chuck Martin start to install more layers to their offense, they hope leaders will start to emerge in their four-man quarterback competition. On Saturday the added layer gave the quarterbacks the first opportunity to call checks in plays at the line of scrimmage. With spring practice wrapping up with next week's Blue-Gold scrimmage on Saturday, Kelly expects to start seeing those players exuding confidence. ''If you're confident and you walk up there and you know what you want to do and you're making the check, you're commanding your presence - that obviously goes a long way to the unit. That was the thing that we wanted to see today,'' Kelly said. ''Who commands that respect? Who goes up there and as I told them, even if you're wrong, go up there with a certainty that you know what you're doing.'' Kelly has had no qualms about declaring the competition as wide open for all four quarterbacks and simplified the playbook to start the spring, leveling the playing field for sophomore Everett Golson and early-enrollee freshman Gunner Kiel. Now as the offense begins to get more complicated, those two will have to prove their knowledge base can match returning starter junior Tommy Rees and junior Andrew Hendrix. Kelly said as the competition progresses, he expects Tommy Rees to show the confidence that it's his job to lose after starting 16 games the last two seasons. ''As we go longer into this, our expectations are `listen, you've got more experience than anybody else here. Go out and act like that.' I think he did today,'' Kelly said. The next step for Rees will be eliminating the turnovers and careless mistakes. ''I think the thing that we need to get with Tom is he's confident, but we've got to make sure he's making good decisions under duress,'' Kelly said. ''That's the next step for him.'' Kelly and Martin have also stressed with each quarterback the importance of making plays with their feet - whether it's running for a first down or just being able to get out of the pocket to throw the ball away. Hendrix and Golson may own the best natural running ability at the position, but Rees said working with Martin has helped him understand the need for him to make plays with his feet in practice. ''He's instilled some confidence in me in the running game,'' Rees said. ''It's something I know I can do and I've just got to continue to get better at.'' For Hendrix, the challenge will be to learn the offense as a whole rather than the packaged versions that he used in the five games he played in last season. ''As the offense has widened for me, it's really time for me to get the whole grasp and not just be specialized,'' Hendrix said. ''It definitely helped last year, but I still have a long way to go.'' This spring, Hendrix said he's made the most improvements in his throwing accuracy with improved footwork. ''I'm throwing it as good as I've ever been throwing it and it feels really good to know that where I want to put the ball, that's where it's going to go,'' Hendrix said. ''I can't say that that's been the case in the past.'' As for Golson and Kiel, the two continue to make progress to try and keep pace with their elder counterparts. ''When Everett got here it was the unconscious incompetence,'' Kelly said. ''He didn't know that he didn't know. And then he's grown to a conscious competence, but it's so hard for him every day to be that guy. But he's trying so hard. He wants to do it. He will do it. We just wish it was sooner, but it's going to come.'' Kiel returned to practice a few days after his uncle and former Notre Dame quarterback Blair Kiel passed away at the age of 50 on Sunday. After spending time with his family in Columbus, Ind., Kiel returned to practice ready to go, Kelly said. ''He came back locked in as usual,'' Kelly said. ''He's great in the classroom. He's great on the field. He's got a great temperament, demeanor. I just like the fact that he's very coachable.'' The spring competition will come to a close in a week, but the end of this quarterback marathon may not end for several more months. Hendrix said Kelly and Martin haven't even hinted at when they'll make up their minds. ''They don't mention it,'' Hendrix said. ''Right now they're just trying to make every single one of us the best quarterback that we can. At the end, whoever's the best guy for the job, they'll make the decision.''

Arnette x Bad Brains
06 February 2013, 11.58 | Posted in collabs, goggles, Music, snowboarding | 2 comments »
A couple weeks ago the New York Times ran an article entitled "Has Snowboarding Lost it's Edge?" which despite the corny headline, made some good points about the decline in the sport's overall steez thanks to aging and skiers biting everything that made snowboarding rad. With this in mind we are stoked to see Arnette fighting the good fight with a rad Bad Brains collabo goggle for next season. Let's just hope the plankers don't get ahold of it. Sneak another peek after the jump.
