Bucs Wednesday Report: Addressing Rookie Hazing
By Tom Krasniqi
The NFL locker room is a sacred place. There are things happening in there that you won't normally see anywhere else in life.
The subject of hazing and bullying is now a hot topic of conversation in light of what's taking place down in Miami regarding tackle Jonathan Martin leaving the team after being constantly harassed by fellow teammate Richie Incognito. Allegations of racial taunts and threats of violence are disturbing and it's sending shockwaves through the world of sports and beyond.
This week, the 4-4 Dolphins come to Raymond James Stadium to take on the 0-8 Buccaneers. All everyone will be talking about is the bullying incident. The Bucs are thankful that their struggles on and off the field will take a backseat.
Is there a line you don't cross when it comes to hazing rookies and teasing your teammates? That was a hot topic of conversation in the Bucs locker room on Wednesday.
Bucs rookie defensive tackle Akeem Spence says hazing involved performing a talent show and picking up the tab for dinner. Spence says the tab was under $10,000 but there are a few rookies along the defensive line so they were able to split it. Unlike the situation in Miami, Bucs rookies claim they weren't mistreated at all.
"I don't know what's going on down there but these guys treat me like I'm a vet. Treat all rookies like they're [veterans]," rookie cornerback Johnthan Banks said.
Banks says the rookies were teased during the rookie talent show but it never went too far. Banks calls the locker room "one big family."
When Banks was asked what he would do if he was stuck with a $30,000 dinner bill, he laughed.
"I wouldn't pay for it, I would leave," Banks joked. "I got a wife and a son at home. I can't [tolerate] paying a $30,000 bill."
Rookie quarterback Mike Glennon echoed the same sentiment-- Yes, there is rookie hazing but nothing that comes even close to bullying. Glennon says his hazing ritual amounted to running off to Chipotle to get burritos for the other quarterbacks and singing a song during the talent show.
So, what song did he sing? Glennon said he belted out "Build Me Up Buttercup" to the team. Wouldn't you have loved to have heard that?
Linebacker Jonathan Casillas says he was surprised by the allegations down in Miami. Back in 2009, Casillas went through rookie hazing as a member of the Saints.
"I got a little bit of hazing but I wouldn't call it bullying—more like rite of passage," Casillas said. Casillas says singing songs and going on food runs were examples of things he did as a rookie but nothing more.
Head coach Greg Schiano was asked about his general thoughts on hazing and says he cautions his players about taking things too far.
"My policy is with everything – we talk about trust, belief and accountability and that kind of covers everything," Schiano said on Wednesday. "Our guys, there're some ritual things they do and my thing is 'You don't cross the line. That's a man, you're a man, make sure we do not cross the line.' I think our guys have been good about that. If it's skits or carrying pads or cleaning off trays, that's ritual that guys go through."
News & Notes:
- The Bucs conducted a walk-through practice on Wednesday as they have an extra day to prepare for the Dolphins game on Monday night. The team won't submit a practice injury report until Thursday.
- FS Dashon Goldson (knee) was back practicing for the Bucs on Wednesday. He has missed the last two games.
- RG Davin Joseph (knee) was given a rest day. Ted Larsen saw snaps at right guard in his place.
- RB Doug Martin (shoulder) says he's improving and increasing the range of motion in his injured shoulder. As for a possible return, Martin says they're taking it "day-by-day, week-by-week."
- WR Mike Williams had surgery to repair a torn hamstring. Schiano believes Williams will be 100% in time for OTAs.
- Pro Football Focus has rated Bucs LB LaVonte David as their top 4-3 OLB. David was named to the midseason All-Pro team by Pro Football Focus and Monday Morning Quarterback.
- The Bucs placed RB Jeff Demps (groin) on injured reserve. He's done for the rest of the season. The team claimed safety Bradley McDougald off waivers from the Chiefs.
- On Monday night, the Bucs welcome in the Miami Dolphins to Raymond James Stadium. You can catch the game on 620 WDAE and 95.3FM with our coverage beginning at 3pm.

Discounted Comedy Tickets
Life is famously very hard to live. With all the stresses of work and study that we endure every day, there has to be a saving grace, something that would take our minds off the worries. For millions of people around the world, this escape from the hardships of life comes in the form of comedy. The true appeal and magic of comedy is that the multiple genres and forms of comedy are so diverse that they will appeal to every sense of humor and will tickle the funny bones of every type of person. So the next time you feel down and out, the best thing to do is grab a jacket and head to your nearest comedy attraction.
Comedy has always been a part of our culture and media. There is no way to tell when the first joke was told but it can be said with confidence that something funny was said as soon as communication was invented. The Greek writers and performers incorporated comedy into their performances and made the comedy genre an integral part of entertainment. The Greek stories, if not totally based on comedic plots, would almost comprise of a few scenes of comedy. It was described by the popular philosopher Aristotle as one of the four main parts that make up literature which is the reason comedy has been an integral part of entertainment in every popular culture since.
In modern day, comedy has branched into almost every other genre of entertainment. From its humble roots of theatre, the comedy genre has now become a big earner in the movie theatres as well as a popular category of music. The comedy genre has its own charts and even its own awards.
The best form of live entertainment is no doubt a comedy show. If you are a fan of theatre, there are many comedy productions that are being presented around the year. These are the closest to the original Greek idea of comedy with comedy weaved into the story and the characters written to amuse the viewers. Some of the comedy shows that have achieved popularity due to their amusing concepts and storytelling styles include hits like Avenue Q and Spamalot!
Another form of comedy that has become quite popular recently and even managed to get its own category at the Grammy Awards is music. This genre of comedy is usually parody based and talented musicians put a funny twist on already famous songs or make up their very own comedy based songs. Some of the recognizable names in comedy music are Weird Al Yankovic, Stephen Colbert and The Lonely Island.
The most popular form of live comedy is the stand-up comedy genre. These performances usually include a single person on a stage who simply talks to the crowd, telling them amusing anecdotes and making funny remarks about an array of subjects. Some stand up comedians that have made their name well known are Richard Prior, Chris Rock, Russell Peters and Rowan Atkinson.
No matter what form of comedy you are interested in, you can always find a great deal on Comedy Tickets by just browsing through our vast inventory. So if you are looking for a laugh and a great evening out, feel free to snatch up some tickets for a comedy event near you.

Libya coach will vary tactics against local Black Stars at CHAN
Libya coach Javier Clemente says his side will vary their game plan against Ghana in a Group C top-of-the-table clash on Friday at the African Nations Championship.Â
The Mediterranean Knights put up an impressive display to outclass tournament favourites Ethiopia in the 2-0 win last Monday.
Clemente paid glowing tribute to his youthful side and believes they can repeat the dose against the Local Black Stars who won their opener against Congo.
"The approach we will use on Friday is based on how we want play against Ghana, and they are different in their play from Ethiopia so we too have to use a different system,†the Spaniard said.
"If my young team can repeat their commitment and attitude shown in the first match, l will be happy and will let the result pick itself.

text: I'm looking for transporation advice for our trip to Disneyland next week! We are flying in to John Wayne (arrive at 10:00 am) on Thursday, but on Saturday need service to the Ontario airport from GCH as we have a rental car reserved there to drive down to Palm Springs for the weekend and return home from Ontario. I don't know if it's best to taxi it both ways, or if the Super Shuttle would be significantly cheaper for our travel on Saturday morning (from GCH) to to the airport/car rental.

With the European commission calling for action on the disgracefully low level of women in the boardrooms of major companies (EU rights commissioner warns of laws to put more women in boardrooms, 15 July), it is now surely time for Britain to introduce quotas to deal with our continuing level of around 10% of female representation. Norway's highly successful 40% quota is an ideal model. This is not just an issue of fairness and equality. We desperately need to change the "group think" – particularly in the banking and financial sectors – that led us into the current economic mess. Research has shown that boards comprising a variety of people from different backgrounds and experiences are more effective.
This also begs the question why the Bank of England's monetary policy committee, making key decisions about everyone's future, is all male? We've seen in recent debates in parliament, still only 22% female – most notably in the debate on anonymity for people accused of rape – that women from all parties have brought different views and experiences. We need to ensure those views are heard and taken into account everywhere decisions are being made.

Madras fire destroys shed, burns part of house
Long-abandoned home had been used by transients
MADRAS, Ore. - A shed and walkway cover was destroyed by a fire that sent up tall flames visible across Madras late Saturday night, but fire crews saved much of the adjacent, long-vacant house, officials said.
Jefferson County Fire District No. 1 crews were called to the reported structure fire around 11:40 p.m. at 212 SW Fourth Street, said fire district spokeswoman Linda Larson.
The home sits on a small hill behind the Sonic in Madras, so the flames could be seen throughout the area, Larson said, adding that no injuries were reported and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
No one has lived at the L-shaped home for years, except for some transients, Larson said. Only the west section and part of the covered walkway burned, as crews saved the rest.
"The house was starting to smoke, but did not actually flame before they got it cooled," she said.
It was the second significant structure fire in Madras in days. One mobile home burned and two others had minor damage in a Thursday morning blaze that also caused no injuries but displaced a mother and three children.

I've had 7 Microdermabrasion treatments with Laser Genesis over a series of months recently, and my skin still is sunken in from cystic acne scars.I have done a plethora of other treatments through the years as well to no avail. My skin looks the same as it always did after years of all these treatments. Is there any hope left?
Laser Genesis and Microdermabrasion for Acne Scars Failed

Laser Genesis and Microdermabrasion for Acne Scars Failed
Web reference: http://www.mirrormirrorhouston.com/laser-genesis
Treatment of sunken in skin and acne scars
Without looking at your skin, I am not sure that I can give you the correct advice, but I'll try.
You state that your skin is sunken in as a result of cystic acne.
If large areas (1 cm or more) are sunken in, you may need a subcision, to separate the adhesions between the skin and the subcutaneous fat.
Following this, if you have deep boxcar scars (1-4 mm), they can be elevated by using a biopsy punch and then sutured at a higher level (Punch elevation).
For ice pick scars, Chemical Reduction Of Scars (CROS) is very effective
You may need one or more of the above procedures before getting a Laser Resurfacing. Most patients prefer a series of 2 to 5 treatments with the new, Fractionated CO2 lasers (Minimal downtime -2-3 days- due to mild scabbing that can be covered with makeup) to the traditional CO2 Laser Resurfacing (7-9 days downtime, no makeup allowed. In addition to greatly improving the scars, the Fractionated (but not the traditional) Laser resurfacing may help you also with the enlarged pores.
Laser Genesis
Acne scars need a bigger gun than that. You need Fractional. Pearl Fractional, CO2 fractional, and eMatrix are all good and depend on your skin color for settings.

Transfer news: Alexandre Pato and Jadson involved in swap agreement
Alexandre Pato has been allowed to link up with Sao Paulo, with Jadson moving in the opposite direction to Corinthians.
By Paulo Freitas
Last Updated: 09/02/14 9:29pm
Pato moves on a two-year loan deal, while Jadson has penned a permanent contract.
The deal involves two Brazil internationals and two men who have shone in Europe in the not too distant past - for AC Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk respectively.
A return to Europe for Pato has been mooted for some time, with leading lights in England, Spain and Italy said to be monitoring his situation.
He is, however, to remain in his homeland after being allowed to move on by Corinthians.
Manager Mano Menezes told UOL: "Regarding Pato and Jadson, it became a possibility and we came to the conclusion that, due to the circumstances, it would be good for us.
"Jadson will be another option as a playmaker, something we need.
"Pato probably understands. So do Sao Paulo. Everyone, given the circumstances, understood that it would be good to make this deal happen to improve everything for everyone.
"When opportunities like this one come up, as this did, we can't waste them."

City beach proposed for wharves
Page Tools
Life's a beach and maybe more
one of the five finalists for
the East Darling Harbour urban design competition.
Photo: Dallas Kilponen
Sydney Harbour's last container wharf may be replaced by a beach under plans for the CBD's biggest development site.
In his first outing as Planning Minister, Frank Sartor yesterday unveiled the five designs contending to turn the wharves from 22 hectares of off-limits concrete into offices and a multimillion-dollar park.
An international competition attracted 137 entries, whittled down to five finalists by an independent jury.
One proposes a series of translucent buildings, which appear to creep from the water towards the city, but are meant to resemble finger wharves.
Another pays tribute to the national capital, suggesting a park sloping down from Observatory Hill, resulting in what looks very much like a half serve of Parliament House in Canberra.
Mr Sartor declined to back a winner. "I think it's better if I don't buy in to choosing a winner because we've got an independent panel," he said.
For an avid swimmer, however, he was sceptical about the beach, which is suggested by two of the five finalists.
"Well, Sydney Harbour's waters are so clean these days you could almost have that, but I'm not sure whether that's the most practical aspect, but it's an interesting idea."
It is likely developers will be offered 99-year leases over the half of the site that is reserved for buildings to raise money to pay for the rest. Mr Sartor would not say how much the Government expected to raise, only that it would not be "a major money-spinner".
The finalists are on display from today at the Museum of Contemporary Art. A decision on the winner is expected early next year. It will be made by a panel headed by the former government architect, Chris Johnson.
Whichever plan is chosen, most of the buildings will be offices, and they all come with a hint of an expanded light rail service.
Mr Sartor said the project, which promised to add as many as 25,000 workers to the area, would need transport that did not depend on cars.
"With this development, we'll start to get some sort of critical mass to look at some sort of public transport system into Wynyard," he said, suggesting whatever system was chosen should go along Hickson Road, under the Harbour Bridge and into The Rocks.
Asked if he would rule out light rail, he said: "No, no, no, but it may be a localised spur line, it may not be part of Sydney's greater system."
The Government wants to set aside space for an "iconic development" at the tip of Millers Point that may be built many years into the future. Mr Sartor denied this was because the Government had no "iconic" ideas of its own.
"It's a question of we will build the infrastructure and heal the harbour's edge. I think there are other priorities, but in the future there may be a need for either a further cultural building, or some other kind of building, and it's just a question of being prudent and sensible and far-sighted. We don't have to do it now."
When complete in about 10 years, the edge of the development will plug a large gap in the proposed 14-kilometre foreshore walkway from Glebe Point to Woolloomooloo.
"Any city that tries to only live in the past is doomed, and any city that pays reckless disregard to the past is also doomed."

PAARC The Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres
E.8th Avenue
Vancouver, BC Canada
The Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres (PAARC) was established in 1988 as an association representing artist run centres in British Columbia. Member organizations are artist initiated and artist controlled. The primary mandate of the society is to work towards the benefit of the practicing artist, within the context of artists' self-determination. Members of PAARC coordinate their opening receptions and events, collaborate on programming initiatives and advocacy work.
PAARC has a permanent membership of British Columbia ARC's and represents them regionally, provincially and nationally. PAARC was active during the 1998-99 reevaluation by Canada Council of artist centres and consults regularly with funders on issues vital to the centres.
Artist-run Centres (ARCs) are non-profit organizations, run by and for artists, supporting new and innovative practices in the arts. With a rich history that spans over thirty years, ARCs have had a significant impact on the cultural ecology in Canada and around the world. Generally, these centres exhibit contemporary art which parallels the larger public institutions and private commercial galleries - offering an alternative to artists in determining how to represent their work. Most of Canada's best known and internationally recognized contemporary artists, curators and cultural practitioners have come out of the artist-run centre movement.
PAARC is a member of ARCCC/CCCAA : Artist Run Centres and Collectives Conference / La Conférence des collectifs et des centres d'artistes autogérés

Antarctic ice shelf melt 'lowest EVER recorded, global warming is NOT eroding it'
Human CO2 just not a big deal at Pine Island Glacier
Think this article is evil? Click here first
The usual suspects will no doubt choose to play the man rather than the ball here and complain that this article is an example of cherry-picking by an evil climate "denier", probably funded by the Koch brothers and unqualified to write on climate matters - and also that we never point out other research suggesting that in fact the Antarctic sheet will shortly slide off into sea inundating us all in movie-plot menace style.
Some notes on that:
1) We here on The Register climate desk actually do offer plenty of standard doom coverage - knock yourselves out, green readers. At the moment it is mostly not nearly as much read as the sceptical stuff. That latter may serve to illustrate the fact that reputable research from top boffins like this, suggesting that the human race is perhaps not imminently menaced by carbon emissions, is news - whereas the idea that it is imminently menaced is rather old hat.
2) Your correspondent "denies" nothing. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, plain and simple, and massive releases of it will obviously warm the atmosphere up to some degree. How much remains pretty uncertain: and the consequences of this uncertain warming in terms of sea levels, crop yields etc are very uncertain indeed. But it could be true that carbopocalypse is upon us - just as it could be true that we face species extinction or global disaster in the coming century from an asteroid or comet strike, or global pandemic, or some other threat.
3) What is really a lot more certain - and this is admitted by hardline greens - is that a shift to all or mostly renewable power means incredibly expensive energy and abandonment of economic growth. That means that the great majority of the human race, including many rich westerners who today live in reasonable comfort, must henceforth descend into/remain in miserable poverty under such a plan. Expensive luxuries such as welfare states and pensioners, proper healthcare (watch out for that pandemic), reasonable public services, affordable manufactured goods and transport, decent personal hygiene, space programmes (watch out for the meteor!) etc etc will all have to go if there is to be no economic growth. It won't be a painless matter of buying a G-Wiz, insulating the loft and getting rid of some small, cheap government departments like the nuclear weapons programme.
4) It is very likely, then, that the suggested climate cure will cause more misery than the disease. Sea defences capable of dealing with a 1m rise would be very, very cheap by comparison and a lot of farmers would actually be better off under global warming.
5) As to the ad hominem criticism. Your humble correspondent today, it is true, holds no PhD in climatology, pays only occasional visits to the climate beat over relatively recent times, and - horror - for a long time was not even a journalist (!). However the idea that this means I must not report on climate-related matters while normal environment or "science" correspondents can would seem pretty silly. Many such normal correspondents visibly don't even understand what a Watt is, how windfarms are paid for, etc etc. Frankly, if my climate/energy reporting is ignorant or activist, it is much less so than most.
6) The more general idea that The Register must not report on climate matters (unless, presumably, we do so in a politically correct way) falls under the eternal "where's the IT angle?" complaint and will not be given a lot of sympathy. We've always been "Sci/Tech news for the World", remember.
7) Koch brothers/oil industry funding. The only money we at The Reg have ever had that you could put even close to this are a couple of minor ad deals with the Norwegian government petro firm, Statoil. Those ads sought to suggest that Blighty might like to buy more relatively clean and reliable natural gas to help fund Norway's social miracles - as opposed to turning to coal or buying unreliable supplies from the Kremlin to fund weapons programmes and oppression. That ad money was not enough to be important to The Register commercially and involved no influence whatsoever on editorial stance - none was so much as hinted at. Your correspondent personally has never received a penny from writing about climate/energy issues other than as part of a Register salary.
8) Given all the above, comments on this site which just say "Lewis is evil" or "you know this is all utter guff" or in particular which show signs of being astroturf are, yes, liable to be suppressed. Play nice, commentards - especially new commentards.
Note from your friendly Mods
We've shut down the comments thread due to moderation burden... But before you cry foul, please be advised that moderators will never nix a comment merely because they find your argument "unacceptable" or "can't handle the truth" or don't agree with you. Hogwash. We love to hear your opinions, are keen to see you "show your work" in terms of what you've read to reach them, are happy to see you engage in reasoned arguments, rebuttals, extensions et cetera. However, there will be no name-calling, and no calling each other liars or idiots or brain-damaged and the like. For pity's sake, address the argument, not the man (or woman). Our comments section is lively and it is visited by many bright individuals, so while I understand the topic is emotive, I put it to you that even the cleverest of put-downs is not as good as a killer argument.

On the eve of a vital vote on taxpayer subsidies for nuclear power, we've published the results of an exclusive opinion poll which shows that the majority of people - 46 per cent - oppose any future subsidy for the nuclear power industry - compared to less than a third who support it (32%).
Liberal Democrat MPs stood at the last election on a manifesto pledge of opposing new nuclear power and ending public subsidy: these opinion poll findings will be a reminder of what the electorate expect.
When asked how Lib Dem MPs should vote in any future bill on public subsidy for nuclear, 51 per cent said they wanted them to either vote against or abstain from any future parliamentary vote.
Among Liberal Democrat voters, the expectation that their MPs should live up to their manifesto promises was even greater, with just under two thirds of respondents (63 per cent) saying they wanted Lib Dem MPs to either vote against or abstain.
Three Liberal Democrat MPs -Stephen Williams, Roger Williams and Mike Crockart - will have the opportunity this week to stick with their election promises when an amendment to the Finance Bill is put before the Public Bill Committee on Tuesday that will rule out future taxpayer subsidy.
One of them, Mike Crokart, made his views clear on nuclear subsidy a year ago
when he said:
"I still remain concerned that Britain's new generation of nuclear power stations can be built without the need for any public subsidies. There are too many unknown risk factors in the construction and decommissioning of these plants and history has proven that significant cost overruns have led to governments across the world having to step in and save the projects.
"In Scotland we have the potential to become a
world leader in the renewable energy industry and I urge the Government to
invest in these schemes before throwing money at the nuclear energy
So the question for the Lib Dem Three on Tuesday, when the amendment comes before the committee, will be can they display muscular liberalism or Liberal capitulation.

Google is facing calls for anti-privacy and anti-trust regulation on both sides of the Atlantic. And now there's talk about something much more radical: having the U.S. government monitor Google's "secret sauce," its search algorithm. This would be an unprecedented regulation of technology.
Google is facing a variety of potential investigations, including in the U.S. and Europe because the company's Street View vehicles gathered people's private communications on their home WiFi networks. Even before that, European countries were calling for investigating Google's privacy policies.
In the U.S. there have been rumbling from Washington about potential anti-trust investigations of Google. A New York Times article summarizes the various anti-trust issues that Google faces. It quotes Tim Wu, a professor at Columbia University and the author of a forthcoming book on technology monopolies, "The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires" as saying about the federal government looking at Google and anti-trust actions:
"They are not just on the radar screen. They are the at the center of it. If you are in the federal government and are interested in antitrust, you are looking at Google."
The Times, though, quotes a Google critic who goes well beyond asking for anti-trust actions. He wants the federal government to monitor Google's search algorithms, to ensure that it doesn't unfairly favor Google over rivals.
The Times says that in the 1990s, lawyer Gary Reback:
almost single-handedly brought the antitrust weight of the federal government down on that era's high-tech heavyweight, Microsoft. Now Mr. Reback contends there is a dangerous new monopolist in the catbird seat: the search giant Google.
Reback is representing the London comparison shopping site Foundem, who have complained, according to the article that:
in 2006, Google's supposedly objective algorithms suddenly dropped Foundem into the netherworld of Google search results. They say Google also raised the rates Foundem had to pay to advertise alongside search results. These moves, the couple say, pushed their comparison shopping site out of view, and Google later put the spotlight on its own shopping listings.
Reback says in the article that Google is the
"arbiter of every single thing on the Web, and it favors its properties over everyone else's. What it wants to do is control Internet traffic. Anything that undermines its ability to do that is threatening."
This goes to the very core of Google's existence. That is made clear toward the end of the article, when Reback says that the federal government should monitor Google's search algorithms, to make sure it doesn't favor Google over rivals. The Time says of Reback:
He is eager to talk about legal remedies to antitrust concerns, including appointing an independent expert to monitor Google's algorithm to ensure that it does not unfairly penalize rivals like Foundem.It sounds far-fetched. But Mr. Reback says that a serious conversation has started about Googles power. "The government is finally onto the notion that they have to start asking questions about Google," he said. "Google started off saying they were going to treat everything on the Web neutrally. That is the basis on which they secured dominance. And now they've changed the rules."
I can understand calls to watch over Google for potential privacy invasions and possible anti-trust issues. But monitoring the actual search algorithm itself? That's far too radical a move, and would be unprecedented. The government certainly has the right to make sure companies don't violate anti-trust laws or privacy laws. But it has no right to become so intimately involved with a company's trade secrets.
Beyond that, imagine the federal government digging into the algorithm. Just think for a moment about the incomprehensibility of U.S. tax code. Can you imagine what the feds would do if they got their hands on Google' search algorithm?

This article creatively formulates a title that seems to praise Kobe Bryant but actually really just disses him off. Seriously guys, when will you stop leaving the man alone.
For the record, when a man is on the way for a dunk, you don't think of passing instead. It's like forcing an airliner to stop when its wheels are about to leave the ground.
The article points to three plays that Kobe should've passed. I looked at them, guess what, I don't agree.
Play by play:
In the third highlight, 20 seconds in, we see Bryant beat his man on the perimeter. Tim Duncan shuffles over to help, leaving Shaquille O'Neal wide open under the hoop.
Tim Duncan was on his way to help only when Kobe was on his way up. Also, Tim Duncan is not exactly small. What are the probabilities of Duncan deterring a pass against blocking a dunk? For all you know he was faking the help. Don't underestimate the push of Malik Rose(?) That could've been a foul and passing the ball could have caused a no-continuation. Also, that push may have helped Kobe gain momentum to soar for a dunk. But more than anything, no point of stopping an airliner about to take off.
About a minute into the video, Bryant is approaching the hoop and Steve Nash runs over in an attempt to take the charge. Yes, Bryant can jump over a man that size. But Kwame Brown could not be more alone under the hoop.
Two words – Kwame Brown. Can you guarantee Kwame can catch a pass from that play? And what, you have Steve Nash in front of you? But guess what, in this case, the airliner is also about to take off. Man.
Near the end of the video, just before the two-minute mark (in a Wizards game against the Wizards in Las Vegas!) Bryant draws three defenders, creating two open teammates … neither of whom he seems to notice.
First of all, you don't throw a sick crossover like that just to throw a pass. Unless of course, the man guarding you is Scottie Pippen playing for the Blazers, and the man you are passing to is Shaq, who is planning on alleyoop-dunking it. Pass to where? In the wings? Those two men are not even inside the painted area. And the clock shows about 3.8 seconds left. You don't pass the ball with little time left. But more than anything, no point of stopping an airliner about to take off.
I wonder who wrote that article. Chris Childs, was it you?

Wuthering Heights
€ 8,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Februar 2008
Beschreibung4 classic novels, reissued as part of Vintage's "Doomed Love" promotion. Each is a supremely influential work, and all are on the National Curriculum. Just in time for Valentine's Day!
PortraitEmily Bronte was born on 30 July 1818.Her father was curate of Haworth, Yorkshire and her mother died when she was five years old, leaving five daughters and one son. In 1824 Charlotte, Maria, Elizabeth, and Emily were sent to Cowan Bridge, a school for clergymen's daughters, where Maria and Elizabeth both caught tuberculosis and died. The children were taught at home from this point on and together they created vivid fantasy worlds which they explored in their writing. Emily initially taught as a governess and later travelled to Belgium with Charlotte in order to undertake further study. In 1846, along with Charlotte and Anne, Emily published Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. After this Emily wrote Wuthering Heights, Anne wrote Agnes Grey and Charlotte wrote The Professor. Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey were both published but Charlotte's novel was initially rejected although she later published Jane Eyre to great success. Emily died on 19 December 1848.
Pressestimmen"A dark and passionate tale of tortured but enduring love... Mesmerising" Guardian "This brilliantly atmospheric Yorkshire saga has only one drawback - Emily never wrote another novel. For me, it is both fantastic but also true to life because the protagonists have such believably fierce emotions" -- Kate Mosse "When I was 16 I read Wuthering Heights for the first time, and I read it as a kind of oracle; that life is worth nothing if it is not worth everything. Disaster does not matter, intensity does. You can dilute Wuthering Heights, as Mills & Boon and musicals have done. But if you are honest, you cannot escape its central stark premise; all or nothing. The all is not Heathcliff - that is the sentimental version. The all is what Heathcliff represents, which is life itself" -- Jeanette Winterson "It is as if Emily Bronte could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognizable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality" -- Virginia Woolf "Only Emily Bronte exposes her imagination to the dark spirit" -- V. S. Pritchett

Sunroof question
I have several questions about the sunroof in my '03 jeep grand cherokee laredo. There are four buttons to choose from, 1. asc 2. vent 3. close 4. open. Now my first question is that earlier today the asc button was a solid red which allowed the sunroof to stay in whichever position I had it when i shut the car off. Now the button is blinking and I don't know why. Also the automatic option no longer works, I have to hold the buttons in order for them to work. And finally the close button no longer works at all. Any ideas on the problem and/or possible fixes?
Re: Sunroof question
Do you have an aftermarket sunroof installed? On my Jeep there is only one button for all these functions and its not lit.
Re: Sunroof question
That sounds like an aftermarket sunroof. The one in my wife's 98 Lincoln continental has the same four button set up and it is definitely an aftermarket dealer installed unit.
There should be a sticker somewhere with the manufactures information printed on it. The one for the Lincoln is on the underside of the hood.
I have found that these sunroofs are supposed to be serviced and adjusted every so often.
My nearest sunroof service place is in Sacramento about 90 miles away. They say they can do the service in about 45 minutes and costs about $80 dollars, but I just cannot seem to get a chance to take it up there.
Meanwhile the sunroof leaks every time it goes though the carwash.
Re: Sunroof question
Oh yeah, one time the sunroof would not open at all and I found that I had kicked the wire off of the fuse panel under the dash where they had hooked it up for power.
You might check your wiring and make sure nothing has come off.

Mississippi Considers Privatized Child Support Enforcement
The Mississippi House of Representatives passed a bill last week that would allow the state to privatize its child support enforcement functions. If the bill becomes law, the state could become the first to fully privatize enforcement.
Mississippi's Department of Human Services, which currently handles collections, is notoriously understaffed and underfunded, and in total, about $1.1 billion in child support is owed by non-custodial parents in the state.
However, some lawmakers are skeptical, suggesting that the privatization measure is intended to funnel money to politically connected firms, with one representative calling the proposal "a greased pig."
The private system would likely work on a contingency basis, with contractors taking a percentage of the money they collect, although it is still unclear if they would receive state money as well.
The state Senate had previously passed a similar measure, and the two legislative bodies are expected to iron out the differences in their bills later in the year. Gov. Phil Bryant has indicated that he supports the legislation.
Uninformed Decisions
If Mississippi does fully privatize support enforcement, it would move into uncharted territory. According to a report prepared by the state Joint Committee on Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review, no states have totally privatized all enforcement components.
However, 44 states have privatized at least some aspect of their support collection functions. Mississippi is among them, already contracting out call centers and new hire reporting. Colorado, Kansas, Maryland, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming all have at least one private full-service child support office.
The scant research that has been done on privatizing child support enforcement has reported mixed results compared to public agencies, both in regard to cost-efficiency and effectiveness. When Mississippi previously contracted out its enforcement in two counties in the 1990s, the private operators spent more to collect less, according to the report.
Ultimately, the review found empirical information lacking, noting that the state "does not maintain cost data at the service level and does not sufficiently analyze its child support enforcement performance data, both of which are necessary to making fully informed decisions regarding the privatization of child support enforcement services" and concluding "without cost data at the service level, the division is not in a position to make an informed privatization decision."
Pros and Cons
Currently, Mississippi residents owed child support can either go through the Department of Human Services to seek what they're owed, or use a private attorney or child support collection agency.
"People mostly go to private attorneys because DHS takes a very long time," says William R. Wright, a family law attorney with the Wright Law Firm and a member of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. However, the flip side is that using the public agency means parents get the full amount of whatever money can be collected and aren't charged any fees.
A potential consequence of full privatization could be the elimination of a free option for parents. On the other hand, a private agency could prove more efficient than the state overall. "The pros of this would be, if lawyer has a contingency fee, he would probably aggressively go after the money," Wright says. DHS attorneys, he notes, have less incentive to collect because they are paid a salary regardless of how successful they are.
Meanwhile, parents who are owed money are left with a tough decision. "Do you wait, do it for nothing and hope you get it," Wright asks, "Or go the private route and hope it goes more quickly?"

I love my ATS. My local dealership, not so much...
Let me just say that I absolutely love my ATS. Great product. Great car.
Let me explain my dealer experience so far. Back in September 2012 when the ATS was supposed to release, I visited my local Cadillac dealership in hopes they might have an early model. They didn't so I shared with the sales person my contact information while expressing my explicit intent to purchase in the coming weeks. 4 weeks passed and I returned to see if they had any on the lot. I saw one behind a dealer fence but none on the lot to look at. I once again shared with a different sales person my contact information and my explicit intent to purchase.
A few weeks later while driving by the dealership I finally saw one on the lot. I was a little disappointed no one from the dealership called, but got over it since I was finally excited to look at the ATS up close. That ATS wasn't available for a test drive (and I was wanting the 2.0T anyway) so I once again left my contact information with a different sales person letting him know which ATS specs I was looking for (2.0T + cold weather package) and the date when I would be ready to purchase. Several weeks go by. No one calls. So I called another Cadillac dealership over an hour drive away to let them know what I was looking for. They called me back to let me know when an ATS somewhat close to my spec might show up at the dealership and called me again within minutes of unloading. Needless to say they got my purchase. (To date no one from my local dealership called me back.)
But that dealership is just too far away for me to get my regular maintenance and warranty work. So I hoped my service experience at my local dealer would be different. The first day I showed up for an oil change and CUE update appointment at 7:15am the service door was closed. No one was outside. The door to the sales floor was closed. So I sat awkwardly in my car outside the service door until it opened up. When it did open up, I got out of my car not sure where to go and no less than three people walked by without so much as a "Good Morning" or "Can I help you?". I wandered awkwardly inside trying to find my way around until I stumbled up to the Service desk. Strangely the interaction at that point was actually professional and quite good. Then they committed to calling me back regarding the issue I show up for. They didn't. I had to call them back.
On no less than 4 occasions since then, they made a commitment to call me back and didn't. All different people. No one called back. On this latest issue (replacement for a driver side door handle - handle button stopped working) I decided to see how long it would take for them to call me. They already had the part in stock. All that was required was paint matching. Three weeks later, no call.
I'm a patient man. I want this relationship with my local dealer to work. They have somehow gotten the best customer rating in the region and all the other Cadillac dealerships are just too inconveniently far away. So I decided to ask to speak to a manager over both sales and service to share my experience. As it turns out that was the man with his name on the dealership. I was told he's frequently "in and out" so I reluctantly left voicemail. After several hours no one calls. He's a busy man, I assume, so I call back and ask to speak to him. This time he was "in a meeting". I asked when he might be available and was told "he's out till next week". With the full context of my experience so far, I couldn't help but literally laugh out loud, say "thanks" and hung up.
This is not only my first Cadillac, it is also my first luxury brand experience. I don't recall my Mazda dealership ever struggle to simply call me back in the over 7 years of owning my Mazda 3. Like I said. I. Love. My ATS. But is this typical of the luxury brand dealership experience? I can't imagine it is.
I guess I'll be calling Cadillac Customer Assistance in the morning to share my experience...
My closest dealer seems to have similar phone skills so I drive further because they seem to want my business at least enough to call or email me back. What is your local area?

Re: I love my ATS. My local dealership, not so much...
I'm in the Seattle metro area. Cadillac dealerships are basically on the south end, north end and east end of the metro area and I'm on one end. So, with traffic, the others are at the kind-of-a-pain distance away. Maybe it's worth the pain to get a better experience though...

Re: I love my ATS. My local dealership, not so much...
Sorry Jamboarder! Your experiences with your dealership sound abysmal. This is nothing like what I have encountered at my Cadillac dealer. The service before and after the sell has truly been terrific. They treat me like I am their number one customer, even though I've only bought the one car. I will likely be a loyal customer for life based on this. Just goes to show that not all dealerships are created equal.
Re: I love my ATS. My local dealership, not so much...
I'm on the opposite side of the country in the DC area and same situation 25 miles can take over an hour in traffic which is always. My thought is find a dealer you like even if its an hour + out of the way. List the little things and have them corrected when you bring it in for service so you make fewer trips. You should get a loaner for warranty work so you're not stuck having someone follow you to drop off or pick up. The one big positive is more time behind the wheel of your ATS!
I like the idea of owning a Cadillac and being treated like a Cadillac owner so don't settle for lackadaisical/indifferent treatment. Like you said you Mazda dealer gets it and that comes from the owner and the dealer leadership/managers. You should talk to the owner if he/she is a leader they will get it fixed and you should keep track of who you deal with so he/she knows where to start fixing. Unfortunately I'm betting the problem in this case starts at the top. Sounds like they have a captive clientele and enough business to keep them happy so they are not hungry.
I would also PM Laura and ask her to let the dealership know your dissatisfaction with their presentation of the Cadillac experience.

Re: I love my ATS. My local dealership, not so much...
My dealer in Omaha has been attentive and responsive to my needs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Huber Cadillac. In fact, we bought my ATS there last year and we went back last month and bought an SRX from them too.

Re: I love my ATS. My local dealership, not so much...
Willis Cadillac in Des Moines is absolutely First Class! I've been a customer since 1982; always have had fantastic service from them.
Re: I love my ATS. My local dealership, not so much...
Thanks for the feedback everyone. It sounds like my experience is not the typical Cadillac dealership experience.
I will still contact Cadillac Custoemr Assisstance to share my experience with them, because I'd hate to imagine other customers enduring this.
Re: I love my ATS. My local dealership, not so much...
Brotherton Cadillac
They may have one of the best ratings on Google Maps for my region, but that has not been my experience.
Re: I love my ATS. My local dealership, not so much...
I see they have a 3.8 out of 5 rating in Google but only 2.5 in Yelp. But when the number of reviews are so low its hard to tell. I think Cadillac rates dealers too. I know the one closest to me has signs posted every few inches in their showroom saying they were the top rated dealer in the region for the last 4 years, which I thought was kind of funny since none of the plaques had their name on it. The dealership had recently been bought by another company.

We're so sorry that you had a poor experience with your dealer. This is certainly not the experience we want for any of our Cadillac customers. If you've already spoken to Cadillac Customer Care over the phone, we hope they were able to address your concerns and document your complaint. If not, we'd be more than happy to note your experience within our system. Again, we apologize for this experience, and hope that through time we can restore your faith in the Cadillac brand.

Legislation was introduced today that would ban state funding for abortions in Minnesota. The initiative has been a major issue for Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, a group opposed to legalized abortion. The group's executive director, Scott Fischbach, told MPR News on Saturday that they have renewed confidence that some of their major legislation will pass this year because Republicans now control the House and Senate. And it appears MCCL is hoping to send the legislation to Gov. Dayton's desk.
"It will be up to the governor. Is the governor going to be so hard-core, committed to abortion that he's not going to allow the bill banning taxpayer funding for abortion into law? Is he going to veto that and of course we'll have to go into an override situation if that's what it comes to."
The discussion of a potential override caught my eye/ear since abortion politics does not split down party lines. There are large number of Democrats who oppose legalized abortion in the state. And that made me wonder whether MCCL thinks it can override a potential veto. It should be noted that GOP leadership in the House and Senate have suggested an override on this issue but Fischbach's statement carries a lot of weight at the State Capitol.
Going by past voting history, it doesn't look the like votes are there. But it's close. (Note: I relied on NARAL's 2010 scorecard for my information)
90 votes are needed to override a veto in the Minnesota House. 45 votes are need to override in the Minnesota Senate.
47 DFLers who are still there voted against the amendment in the past. Those numbers don't include 5B (Sertich's old seat which is open), 60A (Kelliher's old seat which is held by DFL Rep. Marion Greene) and 65A (Thao's old seat which is held by Rena Moran). If that group holds together and every Republican votes for the override, the total would be 88. Again, that also includes the members of 5B, 60A and 65A as votes for the override, which is unlikely.
24 DFLers in the Minnesota Senate appear to have a record of voting against bills that restrict legal abortions (it appears the Senate didn't vote on a bill or an amendment that would eliminate public funding for abortioN). I included SD7 on the list because Roger Reinert replaced Yvonne Pretnner Solon and he voted against the measure in the House. I did not include DFL Sen. John Harrington on the list. He replaced DFL Sen. Mee Moua in SD67. That means the vote would be two short of the override in the Senate if Harrington votes for the override – which is a big "If."
A key question is what kind of political pressure MCCL would put on lawmakers to vote for an override. The group is politically powerful (just ask DFL Rep. Jim Oberstar in Minnesota's 8th how valuable the MCCL endorsement is in rural Minnesota).
But any veto override scenario goes the other way as well. Several Democrats who may oppose legal abortion may vote to sustain a veto in order to protect the governor. Several lawmakers believe it's the governor's prerogative to veto legislation and routinely vote against override attempts. Others may worry that circumventing the governor could mean political payback or a DFL challenge.
Of course, this may not be the final course of action on this issue. The House and Senate could pass the measure as a ballot initiative which would bypass Governor Dayton and go directly to the voters of Minnesota. A majority of those voting in that election would have to vote yes on the initiative for it to be included in the Minnesota Constitution.

According to the prophets of yesteryear, the atomic age was supposed to have transformed the world by now. Where are the nuclear rocket cars we were promised? What happened to that "energy too cheap to meter"? When will I become a nuclear-powered superhero? Why are we still fighting wars the sluggish, messy old-fashioned way instead of the efficient, turbo-charged atomic way?
Those dreams remain unfulfilled, but at least we have this Abacus Fossil watch as a consolation prize. About the only thing we've trained atoms to do is keep accurate time, and the Abacus syncs up daily with the global atomic clock nearest you. It's got all the figurative bells and metaphorical whistles you expect from a half-decent watch: date and day display, a 1/100 second chronograph, an hourly chime, four daily alarms. You can see what time it is in 23 selected cities around the world (not including Chernobyl, Nagasaki, or Three Mile Island). And you can annoy the collective hell out of your friends by snidely correcting the time on their non-atomic clocks. As atomic powers go, it's pretty dull. But until somebody has the guts to push the button, it's all we've got.
