Patriots-Broncos predictions: Media prognosticators lean toward Denver taking close game
|01.17.14 at 1:17 pm ET
One thing is clear about the predictions coming in for Sunday's AFC championship game between the Patriots and the Broncos — most believe it'll be a close game. Both local and national media favor Denver, but, like the score predictions, neither team has a blowout lead.
On WEEI's Dennis & Callahan, Gery Callahan was the only one to favor the Patriots. While Callahan thinks Tom Brady will lead New England to a 31-28 win, John Dennis (37-24) and Kirk Minihane (31-24) believe Denver will win it behind a Peyton Manning MVP effort. Minihane and Callahan predict the 49ers will take the NFC title, while Dennis projects the Seahawks will pick up the game on their own turf.
On Mut & Merloni, Mike Mutnansky is going with the Broncos, 35-28. Lou Merloni has the Patriots emerging victorious, 31-27. The two are split on the NFC game as well, with Mutnansky taking San Francisco and Merloni tabbing Seattle.
At SB Nation, the Patriots and Broncos split the panel, with Ryan Van Bibber, Jason Chilton and Stephen White leaning toward New England while Joel Thorman, David Fucillo and Matt Ufford predicting a Denver win.
ESPN's group of 13 panelists, on the other hand, favor the the Broncos. Merril Hoge, Adam Schefter, Mike Ditka, and Cris Carter project that the Patriots will come out with the win. Meanwhile Eric Allen, Mike Golic, Ron Jaworski, KC Joyner, Chris Mortensen, Mark Schlereth, Seth Wickersham, Tom Jackson and Keyshawn Johnson are sticking with Denver.
USA Today's panel of seven favors the Broncos 6-1, with Jarrett Bell, Jim Corbett, Lindsay H. Jones, Pete O'Brien, Tom Pelissero and Simon Samano favoring Denver. The lone vote for the Patriots came from Nate Davis.
Following are more predictions from around the country:
Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News: Patriots 26, Broncos 23 — "The Patriots didn't need to play the Bengals, and blew by the Colts. Now that they survived to get to the Broncos, it's easier to trust them to advance. While the expected hype is around Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning, the real matchup is Bill Belichick vs. John Fox."
Don Banks, Sports Illustrated: Broncos 34, Patriots 31 — "It still sounds quite strange, but I think Tony Dungy had it right when he told me on Monday that this meeting of Hall of Fame-bound quarterbacks will likely come down to the running games, and the run defenses."
Peter Schrager, Fox Sports: Patriots 33, Broncos 27 — "No Jerod Mayo. No Brandon Spikes. No Vince Wilfork. No Wes Welker. No Deion Branch. No Brandon Lloyd. No Rob Gronkowski. No Sebastian Vollmer. No Danny Woodhead. No Aaron Hernandez. And no problem? It's amazing, really to think how great the Patriots looked last Saturday night, despite the lack of names on their roster. The truth is that this team adapts to any adversity, any condition and any obstacle."
Mike Reiss, ESPN: Patriots 27, Broncos 24 — "If the Patriots can keep the Broncos to a 50 percent or less success rate in the red zone, where Denver ranked No. 1 in the regular season, I think they win the game because of their ball-control power-running approach. It's a tall task, but in a season in which they've surprised at almost every turn, I think they'll find a way."
Tedy Bruschi, ESPN: Patriots 37, Broncos 34 — "The Brady vs. Manning matchup has been overplayed this week. To me it's Manning vs. Belichick and Brady vs. Fox. Bill has always come up with a winning plan vs. Peyton and if the ball's in Tom's hands at the end of the game he will find the answer."
Elliot Harrison, NFL.com: Broncos 26, Patriots 24 — "Just because the quarterbacks are phenomenal doesn't mean there's going to be a scoring rampage. In fact, if the Patriots throw more than 30 passes or so, I'll be surprised. Expect New England to run the football at least that many times, with a heavy dose of, well, everybody."
Mike Florio, ProFootballTalk.com: Patriots 30, Broncos 27 (OT) — "The easy narrative for this one, based on recent and more extended history, is that the Broncos will find a way to lose and the Patriots will find a way to win."
Michael David Smith, ProFootballTalk.com: Broncos 37, Patriots 35 — "I fully expect the Patriots to score four touchdowns. And yet I'm picking the Broncos because Peyton Manning has played the quarterback position better this season than anyone has ever played it before, and I expect him to have a very big game against New England's defense. In a high-scoring game, the Broncos punch their ticket to the Super Bowl."
Greg Cote, Miami Herald: Patriots 31, Broncos 27 — "I like New England in what would be a big upset, and I do so with the utmost respect for Manning and Denver's home record. Picking against Peyton at home feels like betting against tomorrow's sunrise, but the gut feeling here is pretty strong."
Pete Prisco, CBS Sports: Broncos 31, Patriots 24 — "We can talk all we want about the running games from last week, but this will come down to Brady vs. Manning. The last time they played in a title game, Manning won. He will win again. Manning is on his way to another Super Bowl. Broncos take it."
John Breech, CBSSports.com: Broncos 34, Patriots 31 — "Conventional wisdom in this game says pick the guy who has a 10-4 career record against Manning. However, I'm not a fan of conventional wisdom. Also, I should probably point out that since 2005, Manning and Brady are tied 4-4 in head-to-head games and overall the two quarterbacks are tied 1-1 in AFC title games with each player winning at home. So I'll take the quarterback playing at home."

UniCredit Investors Propose Allianz's Vita as Chairman
UniCredit SpA (UCG) investors proposed Giuseppe Vita as the new chairman of Italy's biggest bank, replacing Dieter Rampl.
The bank's main shareholders reached agreement unanimously on the nomination at a meeting in Milan today, Massimo Paniccia, chairman of Fondazione CRTrieste, told reporters.
Vita, 76, is chairman of Allianz SE (ALV)'s Italian unit, Allianz SpA. He is also chairman of investment bank Gruppo Banca Leonardo SpA. Vita is the second Allianz executive to be appointed to a prominent position at an Italian lender in the last six months. Allianz's Enrico Cucchiani was named chief executive officer of Intesa Sanpaolo SpA, Italy's No. 2 lender, in November. Cucchiani also was a UniCredit director.
The bank's corporate governance, human resources and nomination committees decided that Vita "is the best candidate in terms of profile and requirements among the short list of highly professional candidates who have given their availability," UniCredit said in a statement.
UniCredit CEO Federico Ghizzoni said last month that the Milan-based bank was seeking to recruit a new chairman with an international profile. Rampl announced in February that he wouldn't stand for another term. A former head of HVB Group, Rampl was named to the post in 2006 after the German bank was purchased by UniCredit.
Gian Maria Gros Pietro, a former chairman of energy company Eni SpA, and Massimo Tononi, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker and chairman of the Italian Stock Exchange, also were mentioned by Italian newspapers as candidates for the UniCredit position.
UniCredit's investors will vote to renew all board members, including the CEO, on May 11. They must submit the lists with candidates for the board, including the chairman, by April 16.
Vita is a graduate of the medical school at Rome's La Sapienza University.

A Massachusetts lawyer is making that claim in defense of her client, who took cell-phone pictures up women's skirts on public transportation
Wed Nov 6 2013
Photograph: Shutterstock/Pan Xunbin
Sexual harassment in public areas—the street, the subway—is an unfortunate part of city life, and the issue has only worsened with the arrival of cell-phone cameras. The matter has come to the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts: A man was arrested for taking surreptitious photos up women's skirts on the T in Boston in 2010, and now he's fighting back by claiming the charges against him should be thrown out because they violate his rights under the First Amendment.
Along with saying that taking these nonconsensual photos is protected under free speech, his lawyer, Michelle Menken, argued that "if a clothed person reveals a body part whether it was intentional or unintentional, he or she cannot expect privacy." Major ICK. She went on to explain that the "Peeping Tom" laws are outdated and don't apply to clothed people in public areas (as opposed to undressed folks in fitting rooms, bathrooms, etc.). Her defense of client Michael Robertson's awful behavior also included the claim that he wasn't breaking any laws since the women in the photos were wearing underwear, which concealed their private parts—and thus can't be considered nude or partially nude.
We have many issues with the arguments themselves and how such a case could affect creeps on the NYC subway, so we reached out to Emily May, executive director at Hollaback!, for a comment. "This argument is appalling and gives perpetrators carte blanche to harass women. The lawyer might as well be saying that women's safety is not a priority and women's bodies are public property," she told us via e-mail. "Upskirt photos, like all forms of street harassment, are gateway crimes. They are on a spectrum of sexual violence and create a culture that make more severe forms of sexual violence okay."
We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

But every bit as important as the victory -- if not more so in a season where the rebuilding Nittany Lions are sure to finish in the lower echelon of the league standings -- was the fact that the proverbial light when on for redshirt freshman center Jon Graham.
Graham had his best outing yet, making both ends of a clutch one-and-one to ice the game in the final half minute. He logged career highs in points (10) and minutes played (27), and added six rebounds and two blocks.
Confidence is a powerful thing, first-year coach Pat Chambers said. For that kid, it is huge.
If this program is going to go anywhere in the next few years, Chambers must find some capable big men to complement star guard Tim Frazier and a generally solid backcourt. Against the Hawkeyes, the 6-foot-8, 240-pound Graham showed why he could be a key cog if he continues to improve.
He set a tone early with a couple of stick-back buckets as the Nittany Lions raced out to a double-figure lead in the first half.
Then, after the Hawkeyes stormed back in the second half, Graham found himself on the floor with PSU clinging to a 66-63 lead. The Lions had the ball, and with the game clock at 25 seconds and shot clock below 15, Chambers called timeout.
In his huddle, Iowa coach Fran McCaffery decided to play the percentages. If anyone other than Graham touched the ball for Penn State, the Hawkeyes would try to defend and get the back with 10 or so seconds left.
But if Graham caught the ball, the Iowa players would foul. Seeing he had made 8 of 23 free throws (34.8 percent) going into the game, it made sense.
Guard Nick Colella inbounded the ball in front of the Penn State bench. Graham was wide open -- because Iowa wanted him to be. Colella threw him the ball and Graham was immediately fouled.
We fouled him on purpose, McCaffery said. We let him catch it and fouled him.
Graham toed the line, spun the ball, dribbled and drew all net on the front end. He did the same thing on the second one. With 24 seconds remaining, Penn State led 68-63.
Going to the line, I had a clear head, Graham said. I was not thinking about a thing. I just basically said, forget about the percentages, forget about the past. I was just concentrating on this game.
I'm so proud of him, to show the confidence that he had to knock those down, Chambers added.
Even McCaffery was impressed.
Give the kid credit, he said. He stepped up there and drilled them.
Graham insists that in practice, he has not had trouble making free throws. It was just a matter of seeing that carry over to games. It is, he said, all about confidence.
There was a confident twinkle in his eye when he was told McCaffery had said he was the only Lion on the floor that Hawkeyes would have fouled in that situation.
A big surprise for them, right? Graham answered with a smile.
And perhaps the start of something big in the paint for Penn State.
I think you're going to see a much better, much more confident Jon Graham, Chambers said. He's a freshman; this is going to build his confidence and self esteem.
Penn State improved to 12-15 overall and 4-10 in the Big Ten, and climbed out of last place in the conference. Iowa is 13-13 and 5-8.
Despite being slowed by foul trouble in the first half, PSU guard Tim Frazier finished with 18 points and four assists.
As a team, Penn State shot 78.6 percent from the free-throw line. In a game where the teams posted near identical numbers from the field and the 3-point line, it proved to be the difference.
Senior guard Matt Gatens brought Iowa back from a 14-point halftime deficit. He had two points at the break but finished with 21 thanks to a 5-of-7 effort from the arc in the final 20 minutes.

Italian tax officials have informed Argentinian football legend Diego Maradona that his assets will be frozen to help repay 33 million pounds of debt.
According to Sky News, Equitalia, Italy's tax collection agency, served Maradona the legal papers while he was staying at a hotel in Milan.
Napoli trail
Maradona's debt stems from his time at Italian club Napoli when he guided the team to its only two Serie A titles in 1987 and 1990.
Maradona is best remembered in the UK for scoring the controversial 'Hand of God' goal in Argentina's 2-1 World Cup win over England in 1986, the report added.
Previously Maradona has refused to pay the debt, claiming it was the club's responsibility, the report further said.
Italian officials have used a variety of unconventional tactics to get the money back, according to the report.
These have included seizing Rolex watches at public events and confiscating expensive earrings while he attended a weight loss clinic, the report mentioned.
His fellow Argentine Lionel Messi is another high-profile footballer to run into legal problems over tax evasion.
Messi, who plays for FC Barcelona and is recognised as the best player in the world, owes the Spanish government £3.4m in unpaid taxes.

Buying a used boat is perhaps the best way to get a good vessel for much lesser money than buying a new boat. However, finding a used boat to suit your need can be a daunting task. Although there are myriad of sources both online and offline that put up boats for sale, it best to know about the valuable tips on how find buy used boats. Considering the following tips will come in handy in your buying process:
- The Type Of Boat You Want:
There are different types of ships and used boats; you must choose a vessel depending on your needs and your usage. If you wish to buy a boat for recreational purposes, buying a boat with small center console would be the ideal choice; however, you must know that these boats do not have much mileage. If you are looking for boat for regular usage (for fishing) you can buy the used commercial fishing boats. These boats are specially built to endure tough conditions and have a good mileage. You can also buy large boats like cruisers or yachts for commercial usage. Be specific about your requirements so that the dealers can help you find boats to exactly suits you needs.
- Warranty:
While buying used yachts or boats the most important thing to consider is the warranty of the motor, the crucial component of the vessel. Both outboard and inboard motors are very expensive and if it breaks down repairing them can be an expensive affair. You must thoroughly check the condition of the motor, before finalizing the deal. If you find any technical fault with any of the motor, ask the seller to replace it or pay for its repairs.
- Where To Buy:
You can find advertisements for used boats for sale at various dealerships, classifieds and marinas. You can also find used boats from online sources including boat websites. It is advisable that you always deal with a licensed ships and boats broker. Typically, the brokers have many contacts who are selling boats. One of the best and credible dealers of used boats is Kenneth Mahmood who offers boats of different models, size make and type.
- Get Experts Opinion:
Typically, if you buy used boats or yachts from reputed dealers, you would get a detailed description of the features and technical specifications about the boat. Before you make payment for the vessel, it is advisable that you hire an expert to conduct a thorough inspection of the boat and evaluate its true value. The expert would provide you details of the engine, how much money you would have to spend for its repairs before being able to use, the damages to the boat (if any) and the right way to store the boat.
- Making Payment:
Keep your finances in place well in advance, if you have found the boat you want, you would be required to make a purchase offer. If the offer is mutually agreed, you can take a sea trial of the boat and if you are satisfied with the performance, you can make the payment as per the contract.

What the peeper saw: Big tits. Hot legs. A tight butt. Alyssa Lynn. Starts tomorrow at SCORELAND
Posted by Elliot James on Nov 13, 2014 in Behind the Scenes, Confessions, Hardcore XXX, Interviews, Life With Big Tits, modeling jobs, New at Scoreland, newcomers
Wearing a dress that looks like it requires a permit to wear, Alyssa Lynn (Holiday '14, February '15 SCORE magazine) tells a hot little story about one of her horny experiences. Everything about this newcomer, including her voice, is sexy.
Alyssa starts talking dirty as her story about a peeper spying on her gets to the juicy parts.
Her story ends with a big bang, and Alyssa is ready to reenact it with the cameras rolling.
How did Alyssa, a licensed practicing nurse for five years, move from nurse to topless dancing at Club Risque in Philadelphia to porn?
"A friend said, 'You should get into porn.' He knew I was good at giving head. And he said I had the body for it. I thought about it. And I was already dancing. I was a good fuck, I guess. And body-wise, too, he said. He said, 'I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit.'"
So Alyssa eventually followed his advice. "I'm still experimenting so I'm still open to new fetishes and sex tricks," Alyssa said. "I'm still licensed. I can go back to nursing. I never thought I'd be doing this."
Big boobs in a star-spangled bikini and more: Meet slim & stacked Alyssa Lynn
Posted by Elliot James on Jul 3, 2014 in Holidays, New at Scoreland, newcomers, swimsuits, Tits in Tight Tops
Alyssa Lynn makes her SCORELAND debut today. Alyssa was a cheerleader and soccer player in school. Now she has a different set of pom-poms to play with.
Alyssa was a licensed practicing nurse for five years. She started lap dancing when she was 21. Her home club is Club Risque in Philadelphia. Is there anyone who has contributed more to the well-being of American society than a lap dancing nurse? I think not.
"I take it as a compliment if the guy cums in his pants, but I've had guys literally just run out in the middle of a dance," says Alyssa. That's really coming and going!
Today, two sets and two videos of Alyssa. It's star-spangled bikini time!
Alyssa makes her SCORE magazine debut in the Holiday '14 edition, now heading off to the printers.
The cure for the Affordable Health Care problem: Joana's big boobs
Posted by Elliot James on Nov 22, 2013 in Deep Inside Scoreland, modeling jobs, New at Scoreland
If there's a nurse anywhere in the world who's as stacked and as pretty as fantasy nurse Joana, our people at SCOREModelsWanted.com want to talk to her about modeling.
Joana may not be the answer to America's health care crisis but she can make the suffering easier to handle.
On the other hand, if all nurses looked like Joana, the hospitals would be overwhelmed with patients, most of them goldbrickers.
See Joana tomorrow in a fresh set and video at SCORELAND.

Calling Nurse Sha Rizel
Posted by Elliot James on Jun 13, 2013 in New at Scoreland, newcomers
"Calling Nurse Sha Rizel!"
"There are a few thousand patients waiting for your attention."
That's what a hospital's public address system would be blaring if Sha Rizel were actually a real nurse.
So maybe Sha is better off being a now-famous SCORE model and TV celebrity than toiling in hooter hospital.
But patients and aspiring patients can dream.
Starts tomorrow at SCORELAND.
The answer to better health care is Nurse Terri from Emergency Ward K
Posted by Elliot James on May 30, 2012 in Cummin Soon, New at Scoreland, Tits in Tight Tops
Our friend Terri Jane may not succeed in recruiting more nurses to this noble profession, but tomorrow's SCORELAND examination definitely will inspire a wave of potential patients to check into Terri's Emergency Ward K, drop their drawers and cough.
As soon as Terri says those five magical words, "It's getting hot in here," you know that all those exorbitant health insurance payments you've been making into the system are worth it. It's called Bosom Care, and the US Congress is actually supporting this one despite the fact that Terri is English.
The problem is, Terri will put more guys into the hooter hospital than discharge them.
On the other hand, that may not be a problem with most of you as long as she's head nurse.
Helloooo Nurse!
Posted by Maria on Jan 22, 2012 in Confessions, Life With Big Tits, Tits in Tight Tops
We have spoken to you guys about nurses before. (Trust me.) You can type NURSE in the search bar over there —> and you will see how many different nurse blogs we have written.
But this blog is about my favorite nurse…Renee Ross.
Renee is a special nurse for a few reasons.
The first is that she looks hot in a nurse's uniform, and really, that should be, like, a requirement at nursing school.
The second is that she is really a nurse in real life, so she might actually take care of you in a hospital some day and her tits might actually be THISFUCKINGCLOSE to your face.
The last is that the nurse fantasy is what I like to call an oldie but goodie and in this layout of Renee from the Holiday 2011 issue of V-mag, she plays a "school" nurse.
Yes, the school nurse…the woman who was responsible for bandaging your ouchies and taking your temperature. (Although I am sure that the sight of Renee in this outfit could give anyone a fever.)
This shot got me to thinking about how many of you have nurse fantasies and then I wondered, "Have any of us actually fulfilled this fantasy?"
Well…have you?
I know that while I have harbored a few crushes on some of my doctors, I have never actually fucked one in the exam room of his private practice.
Nor have I ever had sex with a nurse in a supply closet of some hospital, either.
But I am thinking maybe someone out there has? And just that thought, that somewhere out there people are fucking nurses in closets and cumming all over their uniforms…well, that thought gives me hope.
So while I have yet to go the route of nurse fucking, if you have, I would like to hear about it…
because smut makes me happy. It makes everything all better.
Chime in!
Speaking of MRI machines and busty nurses…
Posted by Elliot James on Jan 11, 2012 in Life With Big Tits, Other SCORE Group websites, print magazines, Tits in Tight Tops
Slugworth mentioned in yesterday's Blog about jacking in an MRI machine that if Cherry Brady or Renee Ross were there in nurses' uniforms, he would make an effort.
Agreed, although we'd all rather be jacked than jack in that situation.
Nurses may be angels of mercy, but then there are some bad nurses out there, too. Really bad.
Not bad as in badly trained. Bad as in bad.
Presented to the court as evidence is this quartet of now-legendary bad nurses, responsible for more health crises than for alleviating them.
In their defense, this group is good at reducing the swelling…after they cause it.
Denise Derringer as the bad-ass nurse from Busty Dildo Lovers #5.
Cindy Cupps from the November '07 SCORE. What does a nurse need a riding crop for?
Sarah Sunshine from Tits & Tugs #6, one of the hottest nurse scenes I've ever seen because of Sarah's dirty talking.
Kianna Dior from BigBoobsPOV.com extracting semen samples in a non-prescribed technique.
A couple of years ago, a SCORELAND poll asked who your favorite fantasy girls are. A healthy 33% voted for the sexy nurse. But 47% voted for the sexy teacher. My own vote goes to the sexy nurse. In how many professions is there actual touching?
Health care SCORE-style with Nurse Lana Ivans
Posted by Elliot James on Sep 9, 2011 in New at Scoreland, newcomers, Tits in Tight Tops
Poor Barry. He's gravely ill. Thank heavens (the hooter heavens) for this heavenly visiting nurse who looks suspiciously like little-but-stacked Lana Ivans.
She will bring him back to health with the advanced medical techniques this chesty nurse has become expert in.
Like checking his temperature by engulfing his meat thermometer with her mouth.
This miraculous healing event can be seen step-by-step at SCORELAND right now. Nine out of 10 doctors would recommend you see it. The tenth doctor was out playing golf.
And while she is revitalizing this poor boob, she doesn't forget to extract a sperm sample in the form of a hot-jizz injection.
That's why the title of our SCORE medical story is "The Cream-Filled Busty Nurse."
By the way, what is the biggest-selling fantasy costume of them all in North America?
According to a recent survey of costume and adult lingerie shops, it's the nurses' outfit, sold in a variety of styles from Halloween-party costumes to the only-for-the-bedroom look.
Lana wears hers proudly.
When I'm an 85-year-old geezer, I hope my visiting nurse will look like Lana Ivans.
Nurse Kelly on call!
Posted by Elliot James on Feb 18, 2011 in New at Scoreland, Tits in Tight Tops
Nurses. Where would we be without them? Nowhere, my friends. Nowhere. Here is the ultimate answer to America's health care crisis. She's right here only at SCORELAND tomorrow, and her name is Nurse Kelly Christiansen. When a nurse fills out her uniform the way Kelly can, there is no medical problem that can't be solved. She is a busty angel of mercy. The schmuck shown here desperately needs a brain transplant. While that is beyond even Nurse Kelly's immense capabilities, she can reduce the swelling.
There have been many warm-hearted, stacked nurses at SCORE's Hooter Hospital over the years, their overflowing bras bringing joy and happiness to all they bump into. Caring, nuturing nurses who will not stand by filing their nails apathetically while men suffer the heartbreak of blue balls. Sperm sample extraction is Miss Christiansen's specialty and this blonde head nurse has the advanced titty therapy techniques to do it. Society is all the better for her skills. Relief is only a click away. Thank you, Nurse Kelly. May we have another?
Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.
Top 7 reasons the stacked nurse fantasy remains so popular
Posted by Elliot James on Oct 20, 2010 in Deep Inside Scoreland, Life With Big Tits
1) Nurses know every inch of the male anatomy and how it works.
2) Nurses are nurturing and don't like to see men suffer with blue balls or shafts that won't go down after a Viagra overdose.
3) By the nature of their jobs and training, nurses are health-oriented, sanitary, caring and cock-worshiping.
4) Their uniforms are exciting, although in real life, nurses don't wear platform stripper heels, corsets, split-crotch panties, V-necked tops a size too small, white, vinyl miniskirts and strapless push-up bras one cup too small.
5) Excluding hookers and massage-parlor girls, nurses are the only women you don't know on a personal basis who can wash your cock and balls.
6) How often do you get to fuck in an electrically operated bed?
7) If the doctor is out, nurses can pitch in on the all-important prostate exam.

I mentioned before that while most people in the AIR for Android prerelease program are porting their iPhone applications over from Packager for iPhone projects to AIR for Android, I've been working more or less from scratch on my projects.
Last week, I published a short video demonstrating an educational application called "StudyShuffler". While it did function just fine, there wasn't so much to it. Well, I've done some more work on it and the experience of using the app is now much more rewarding. I've recorded another video to demonstrate this which you can find directly below:

Colorado Springs Police Chief clarifies marijuana enforcement for officers
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs Police Chief Pete Carey has sent a bulletin to all officers clarifying how officers should deal with marijuana enforcement with the passage of Amendment 64.
Here is the bulletin sent by Chief Carey:
Based on Governor John Hickenlooper's December 10, 2012 proclamation certifying the vote on Amendment 64, members of the Colorado Springs Police Department need to be aware of the immediate changes related to the enforcement of marijuana possession and use.
Amendment 64 decriminalizes the non-public use, and possession, of less than an ounce of marijuana by persons twenty one years of age and older. The Amendment does not change any of the current Municipal Ordinances and/or Colorado Statutes as they relate to individuals under the age of twenty one. An individual twenty one or older is authorized to possess an ounce or less of marijuana but they are not permitted to use the marijuana in a public place or in a manner that endangers others. If it is necessary to issue a summons for public consumption of marijuana it should fall under Municipal Court 9.7.206: Possession of Cannabis.
Citizens are allowed to grow up to six marijuana plants, not more than three of which may be mature, flowering plants, in an enclosed, non-public, locked space. There are no current requirements that personal grows need to be in the home.

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › Anyone Been in the Trinity Alps This Year? Potential Hikes in Sierras for early July?
Jun 14, 2010 at 1:50 pm #1260150
Marilyn PittsMember
@maireLocale: Southern California
I'm planning a backpacking trip for July 3-11. Original plan has fallen through and considering other options driving from the SF Bay Area. Some friend suggested Trinity Alps–anyone been there this year? Any hike suggestions? Recently at Donner Pass (6/6)–and noticed that spring is very late this year due to late snow/rain. Trying to take that into consideration when deciding where to go. Love the Sierras, so any suggestions from any of you who have been out there this year also would be great! Thanks!

@b-g-2-2Locale: Silicon Valley
Hiking trails are screwed up all over California this year. First of all, the snowpack was big, roughly 140% of normal, averaged over the state. Second, the spring season has been awfully cool, so the spring melt has not progressed normally. I've been checking around to trail conditions in the national parks, and most of them are at least one month late behind normal condition. It will be a struggle to find a normal place to go for early July.
I would not call the Trinity Alps in the Sierra Nevada Range.

I have not been to the Trinity Alps this year. I was there last year over 4th of July time frame. I can't say anything about the conditions for this year, but last year it was beautiful. It is different from the Sierras. More lush in the forested areas. I will definitely return someday. I highly recommend it.Jun 14, 2010 at 3:34 pm #1619966
"I would not call the Trinity Alps in the Sierra Nevada Range."
I think you are misreading her post.
Also, the Trinity Alps are great. I've done a great four day loop that sees most of the high alps area. Want to go back for the "Trinity Alps High Route" or thereabouts.Jun 14, 2010 at 3:40 pm #1619971

@goby99Locale: Trinity Alps
I live in Trinity County and I'm hoping to get out there in the next 10 days or so.
There is still quite a bit of snowpack (I'm looking at it now through my window), so I don't know when the lakes will be open. The Green Trinities (western part) may be an option. I never hiked there, but I might. Or I might do something on the coast.Jun 14, 2010 at 3:44 pm #1619975

–B.G.–Jun 14, 2010 at 3:50 pm #1619979
Well, the OP said:
Planning a backpacking trip.
Driving from Bay Area.
Perhaps the Trinity Alps?
Was up at Donner recently and lots of snow.
Love the Sierra, so suggestions for there ALSO great.
Don't see how this means the OP thinks the Trinity Alps are in the Sierra Nevada range. Methinks it is a multivariate query (Who's been to the Trinity Alps? How about the Sierra?)
Anyway, proceed.Jun 14, 2010 at 4:41 pm #1620005

Four Lakes Loop is nice, though I don't know the conditions this year.
I don't believe the hype about snow in mid-July. There will be plenty of options in the Sierra by then. And a little snow in the higher elevations isn't going to stop you. People are already up and about in Yosemite, and in another month, most everything will be doable. Just plan extra time.Jun 14, 2010 at 5:00 pm #1620019

Nate is correct about Yosemite starting…but even in July there will be loads of snow. I would look into Rancheria Falls. This area is 4-5000 feet with many great waterfalls. You just might get a loop out of this trip!Jun 14, 2010 at 10:03 pm #1620149
Even if there is some/lots of snow, don't let it stop you. It will no doubt be sunny and hot (most likely), the snow will be well consolidated, it will be beautiful, and there won't be many people. Sounds good to me!

What loop did you do?Jun 15, 2010 at 9:18 am #1620250
I just pulled out some topo maps and figured out a way to hike a loop out from and back to the same trailhead, mostly avoiding the places I went in a previous hike there.
From the trailhead near Preacher Meadow (Swift Creek?), hike north, up Parker Creek, the to Lillypad Lake, to Boulder Lake, up and over to Conway, Lion, and Foster lakes, way down to Union Creek, back south to Mumford Meadow, up to Horseshoe and Ward lakes, then way down Kidd Creek, north to trail to Caribou, around to Snowslide and Caribou lakes, over Caribou Scramble and way way down to Stuart Fork, up to Emerald and Sapphire lakes, tried to get to Mirror Lake but too overgrown, back down Stuart Fork, past Morris Meadows, hopped ridge to Deer Creek, up Deer Creek and over Seven Up Pass, past Granite Lake and down Granite Creek, back to trailhead. This hike is all on existing trail.
If I hadn't been there before, I would've added the four lakes loop (Luella, Diamond, Summit, and Deer) and easy use-trail up to the top of Siligo Peak before going over Seven Up Pass.
My next hike there will be some variation of the "Trinity Alps High Route" (Google it), trying to be off trail as much as possible, and up on the higher granite.
Loop. Trailhead is red dot, hike is red, purple at bottom is short loop around Four Lakes.Jun 15, 2010 at 5:27 pm #1620409

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all your suggestions and updates (and double kudos for photos and map!). I apologize for my easy-to-misinterpret posting. It was a multi-query–Trinity Alps and the Sierras (I wanted to check out other options in the Sierras in case I nixed the Trinity Alps).Jun 20, 2010 at 1:29 pm #1621720

@goby99Locale: Trinity Alps
A friend made it to Canyon Creek Lake last weekend. He said the lake is still frozen, except at the outlet.
BTW, how about trying to get to the hardest lake to find in California, Little South Fork Lake. As my late friend Wayne Moss said in his book, "The Little South Fork lake over on the South Fork of the Salmon is perhaps the toughest, most remote lake in the Trinity Alps, and it's not to be trifled with."
I've heard that from a couple of people. I think it's about 2-3 miles, and take 6 hours… all off-trail. Wow.
Oh, I just noticed that it's on the map above. That's the lake. You can get to it from Emerald Lake… 3,000 feet up, 3,000 feet down, in less than one mile, all off trail. It's brutal.

Gainesville-Alachua County Hunger Summit Plan
Gainesville City and Alachua County leaders banded together to fight a common enemy. Officials say there is a growing number of people who suffer from hunger in Alachua County. At the second annual Gainesville-Alachua County Hunger Summit, community leaders and agencies called the problem "serious." County and city officials say less than 63% of the people who are eligible for these programs, don't sign up or don't know they're eligible. Many different agencies offer different types of food programs to the public.
Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan says,"What we're trying to do is get community ownership and a sense of where the problem lies and what the solutions are".
County and city officials say the next step is to put an advisory board in place so they can start to access more agencies on a state and federal level.

By Alex Hickey / American Press
Change was afoot during Tuesday's practice as freshmen Kyle Harden and Brodie Burkhalter suited up with McNeese's No. 1 defense.
But head coach Matt Viator said not to read too much into the change in terms of permanence.
"It's planned. We do that all the time trying to build depth," Viator said. "I think they're playing good. But we always try to do that with guys we think can contribute. They need to get in there and get live snaps against the ones."
Deonte Thompson, Bo Brown and Hayden Dobbs have been getting most of the snaps with the starting defense throughout the first week of camp.
• GROWING ROLE: Sophomore fullback Dylan Long is lining up as a tailback in double-tight end sets, and has seen multiple touches on the ground and through the air this week.
Viator said he hopes to be able to incorporate Long and freshman Devin Eaglin as feature backs in short-yardage situations.
"We're really running fullback stuff with two tight ends," Viator said. "Dylan and Devin Eaglin are both big backs, about 225 pounds. … We probably weren't as efficient last year with short-yardage running, so we're trying to get bigger backs back there and work them in to it."
• SHELBY IMPRESSING: True freshman wide receiver Kent Shelby is going to make it hard to put a redshirt on him if he continues to progress.
The 6-foot-3 New Orleans product has a knack for pulling in jump balls near the sideline.
"He's very talented," Viator said. "It seems like he has really great hands. Some of those guys have the ability to get those tie-balls. We haven't had one of those for awhile, where he goes up and it seems like every tie is his."
• BLOCKAGE: The final play of Tuesday's practice was a blocked 43-yard Jean Breaux field goal attempt.
• TOUGH ROAD: The Sports Network preseason Top 25 was released Tuesday with three McNeese opponents in the poll (see Page C2).
Two-time defending national runner-up Sam Houston State is No. 3 in the country, while Central Arkansas comes in at No. 7. Nonconference opponent Northern Iowa is ranked 17th. The Cowboys face all three in consecutive games, though there is a bye week between UCA and Sam Houston.
McNeese received votes in the poll, but not as many as Week 2 opponent Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The Lions were third among teams receiving votes outside the Top 25.
• MEETING: The McNeese Petrochem Athletic Association meets at 6 p.m. today in the McNeese Alumni Center on the corner of McNeese and Common Streets. Viator will be a guest speaker.

We still have not cracked the secret of Greek Fire, a napalm-like weapon of terror and unmitigated destruction unleashed by the Romaioi of Constantinople on besieging Arabs in the 7th century. In fact, it's possible that they didn't, either, at least after the time of its original deployment, as almost all of our knowledge of the substance is legend and literary legerdemain.
It's entirely possible that the unextinguishable incendiary formula, which kept the Eastern Roman Empire in business for so long, was itself a pale copy of the stunning invention of a single genius, Kallinikos, who took the true, original recipe to his grave.
While a more sober reading of the facts suggests it lived and died with the Roman Empire itself, until 1453, it's easy to imagine the horror faced by anyone assaulting the city walls or leaping aboard an enemy trireme, only to see that odd metal pipe extending directly above their heads:
"Siphons!" the old man said, as gouts of flame filled the darkness, pouring from the carved heads.
I stumbled backwards, the back of my skull cracking against the ground. Pain blinded me, and I clutched at my scalp, hearing my sword clattering on the stone. Hot blood wet my hair as fire spilled across the rock. As I tried to rise, it fulminated over my shins. …
The old man walked forward as soon as the torrent receded. Drips of blazing light continued to drool from the stone dragons' beaks.
"Naphtha, lime and old bones," he said, without a hint of anger or fear.
"Not Greek!" Marlow said from within, his voice falling to a stammer. "My own formula!"
The key to its effectiveness was its ability to continue burning under any circumstances, even on the surface of water, making it a "wet, dark, sticky fire," and a key maritime weapon.
Possible ingredients include sulphur, petroleum, quicklime, phosphorus, naptha and saltpeter. But this is only the first twist in the tale, as with incendiary chemicals, the method is just as important, determining how the precursor chemicals are stored, the logistics of transport, and how they are mixed and deployed in battle. Did greek fire ignite on contact with air, water, or naked flame? Were its fumes poisonous? How could such a devastating weapon remain a secret for so long?
To know the truth, however, would be to rob the mystery of its allure–like nostalgia and futurism, the journey itself is always more rewarding than the destination.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Intel × Vice's recently-launched Creators Project feels a bit contrived on premise—i.e., a tech titan's attempt to co-opt the cool—but the production value and content is really quite good. In fact, it's just as well that Vice/VBS.tv gets a shit-ton money from a corpulent corporation with cash to spare; hence, the (free) star-studded NYC launch party. (It's already sold out, but I'm going out of town that weekend anyway… speaking of which, I'm going to be out of town this weekend as well, so let's just say that June's editorial calendar will be a little leaner than usual.)

What Does Hipster Mean to Meme?
I appreciate the Sartre call-out (1:17); however, to her point(s), I just happened upon the latest installment of Nitsuh Abebe's monthly column for Pitchfork, in which he addresses the concept of irony as the guiding tenet of indie (read: hipster) culture, citing LCD Soundsystem and Hipster Runoff (both of which I've written about in a similar context).
You can't possibly navigate the Internet without being able to understand both arch, knowing irony and all-out earnestness– but no matter how good your ability to figure out which is which, you will eventually run into items where you have no earthly idea how serious the author is.
–Nitsuh Abebe, Why We Fight #3: A Brief History of Knowingness and Irony,
Pitchfork, May 7 2010
In Abebe's inaugural essay, he draws parallels between Joanna Newsom and Lady Gaga; the former recently spoke about the latter in an interview with the Guardian. (I was less impressed with the extended analogy of musical evolution that marked his second effort, though I'd like to read the Calvino story he mentions.)

Western Bulldogs big man Will Minson has copped a club-imposed one-week suspension for making derogatory remarks about Port Adelaide midfielder Danyle Pearce's mother on Sunday.
Minson made the disparaging comments to Pearce during the Bulldogs' 38-point win against the Power at Etihad Stadium.
The Bulldogs have also announced that Minson will have to formally apologise to Pearce and the Port Adelaide Football Club and undertake education in line with the AFL's 'Respect and Responsibility' policy.
In accepting the club's sanction, Minson acknowledged his comments were inappropriate and offensive.
"I sincerely apologise for my comments and regret they have caused hurt and offense to Danyle, his family and the Port Adelaide Football Club," Minson said.
"I realise there are no excuses for my behaviour and I accept the sanction given to me by the club."
Bulldogs chief executive Simon Garlick added: "The club has the highest of expectations when it comes to players' behaviour both on and off the field.
"While Will is genuinely remorseful for his actions - the club will not tolerate the use of inappropriate and offensive comments, especially in regards to women."
In other incidents arising from the weekend, Port Adelaide's Matt Thomas accepted a two-game ban for engaging in rough conduct against Tom Liberatore, St Kilda's Raphael Clarke and the Suns' Taylor Hine accepted reprimands for making contact with the head of Adelaide's Kurt Tippett and Kangaroos forward Lindsay Thomas respectively, while Brisbane's Mitch Golby accepted a $900 fine for umpire contact.
Meanwhile, Collingwood superstar Dane Swan will contest his tripping charge against Melbourne's Sam Blease from last round at the tribunal on Tuesday night.
Swan is in no danger of being suspended or ineligible to win the Brownlow Medal as the incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point), drawing a total of 80 demerit points and a reprimand.
Swan has a five-year good record, which reduced the penalty by 25 percent, to 60 demerit points and a reprimand.
An early plea last week would have reduced the total of demerit points by a further 25 percent to 45 points.
