Our work spans the industry—from league and association structuring, governance, and rule-making matters to acquisitions of franchises or other sports related businesses; from launches of single sport and regional sports networks to groundbreaking Internet and mobile media agreements; from the formation of new e-sport start-up ventures to multi-billion dollar stadium financings, Covington has played a central role in headline-making sports matters for decades.

Vortex Kaibab Binoculars And Outdoorsmans Tripod Review
Vortex Kaibab Binoculars And Outdoorsmans Tripod Review
By Len Backus
Best lightweight spotting equipment setup for mobile long range hunting?
When I am hunting from a truck and walking only a few hundred yards to a mile or so, its easy to take along everything but the kitchen sink. This means an 80mm spotting scope, a set of binoculars, a mid-weight tripod and plenty of other stuff. But when I go off for the whole day with a pack large and sturdy enough to carry back my heavy rifle and the meat from a deer or antelope, I always struggle over which gear to leave behind.
For quite a while Ive wondered about my idea of using just one multi-purpose optic on the foot-mobile long range hunt instead of both binoculars and spotting scope. So for this entire past fall hunting season I used a Vortex Kaibab 15X56mm binocular on an Outdoorsmans Tripod with a Jim White Head.
For the pure trophy hunter, the 15 power binocular may not be enough. I found it very adequate for my own antler judging out to well over a mile. Though I have harvested a 150 class whitetail and some 170 plus class mule deer, I find it hard to combine trophy hunting with long range hunting. My largest mule deer were both shot at less than 400 yards, hardly long range for many of us.
For the past several years I have been forming the opinion that it is hard to combine both the challenging, rewarding long range distance shot setup with the perfect choice of a certain trophy-sized deer, antelope or elk. The two just dont come together in one opportunity very often. I know Shawn and Kirby have shot some nice trophies at long range but even they will say that combining the two goals is just plain difficult.
So I am concluding that on foot-mobile long range hunt sessions I dont need an optic that enables me to accurately score a potential trophy at 2.5 miles. Enter the concept of the 15X56mm premium quality binocular for mobile long range hunting, especially for solo hunts where there is no partner to share the meat hauling.

I like the Outdoorsmans Tripod so much I am now selling it in the LRH GearShop

Last month, Nokia announced a major restructuring in light of the troubles it is having in the marketplace competing against Apple and Android manufacturers like Samsung. According to Nokia, up to 10,000 jobs could be eliminated by the end of 2013. The company has said that its plan is to reduce operating expenses while focusing on the location-based services it offers to its customers. Nokia also will attempt to sell its mapping and other location based services to industries where there is a use for the information.
Nokia's shares recently set a 52 week low at $1.63 before rebounding back over $2.00.

There was another appearance of the dreaded U-word ("unexpectedly") this morning at Bloomberg News.
The Commerce Department's advance report on December durable goods orders and shipments showed a seasonally adjusted 4.3 percent decrease in orders from November, while November was revised down from a positive 3.4 percent to 2.6 percent. Economists' median prediction for December was for a 1.8 percent increase. Bloomberg's Victoria Stilwell had an excuse at the ready, and as will be seen, chose to use it even though she knew it was a stretch (bolds are mine throughout this post):
Orders for U.S. Durable Goods Unexpectedly Slump
Orders for durable goods unexpectedly slumped in December by the most in five months, reflecting a broad-based retreat that raises the risk business investment will cool in early 2014.
Bookings for goods meant to last at least three years dropped 4.3 percent, exceeding the weakest forecast of 82 economists surveyed by Bloomberg, after a 2.6 percent gain in November that was smaller than previously reported ...
... The figures are difficult to square with other reports that showed factories were contributing to economic growth at the end of 2013 and into this year as companies geared up to meet more demand. While the weakness is hard to pin on bad weather, the across-the-board nature of the declines is similar to the retreat shown in employment last month that some economists said was related to the dip in temperatures. [*]
... The median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 1.8 percent advance in total orders. Forecasts ranged from an increase of 10 percent to a 1.2 percent drop. The gain in November was revised from a previously reported 3.4 percent advance.
Excluding transportation equipment, where demand is often volatile month to month, orders decreased 1.6 percent, the biggest decline since March, after a 0.1 percent increase in November.
[*] — Translation: "I'm not going to concede that the report stinks without inventing an excuse to try to minimize the damage. So I'm going to use the same copout some reporters used to explain away December's weak jobs numbers a few weeks ago."
Nobody else, including the economists Stilwell quoted, the Associated Press, Reuters, and MarketWatch, cited the weather as a factor — and one would hope that the economists factor weather into their advance predictions.
Stilwell's attempted weather copout contradicts the assessment in her opening paragraph (a "broad-based retreat that raises the risk business investment will cool in early 2014."). It would be much better if she would just have relayed the facts and let readers decide what they mean, but the business press seems congenitally unable to resist doing what it has no business doing.
The AP's Martin Crutsinger made two other attempts at creative excuse-making:
Some of the December weakness probably reflected a temporary dip following November's big jump which had been driven by businesses rushing to take advantage of expiring tax breaks.
The December decline came as a surprise to economists. The consensus view among economists was that orders would post a moderate rise reflecting what they believe is an improving outlook for U.S. manufacturers.
Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, said that a good portion of the decline in commercial aircraft orders resulted from the government's seasonal adjustment process which trimmed a tripling in demand for airplanes that Boeing reported for the month.
As to November, it was revised down, Marty. The revised 2.6 percent isn't that "big" of a jump, and the final two months of the year net out to a pretty negative -1.7 percent.
Crutsinger's use of the seasonal adjustment excuse is odd on a number of levels. First, commercial aircraft orders make only about 8 percent of all orders. Second, every line item in the report except two showed a decrease in December orders. Beyond that, seasonally adjusted figures are normally considered so sacrosanct by the business press that their adjusted nature is often not even disclosed; indeed, Crutsinger's opening paragraph didn't describe today's numbers as seasonally adjusted.
The fact is that we haven't had normal "seasonality" in economic data for about six miserable years of the most mediocre "recovery" since World War II.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: MothsofthegroupknownasEuliiniareprimarilyNeotropicalin distribution, where the larvae are pests of grapes, citrus, stone fruits, kiwi fruit, pines, and many other cultivated and ornamental plants. A large proportion of the group is represented by undescribed (un-named) species, obscuring their relationships and diminishing our ability to identify them accurately. The purpose of this paper is to describe a new genus and two new species. The new genus is known from Costa Rica and Venezuela. The descriptions and illustrations presented in this paper will facilitate identification of these species when encountered by APHIS or other quarantine personnel.
Technical Abstract: Eubetia, new genus, is described and illustrated from Central and South America. The new genus includes two species: E. bigaulae, new species, (type species) from Venezuela, and E. ras, new species, from Costa Rica. Adults are superficially most similar to Anopina Obraztsov and Odonthalitus Razowski; male genitalia are most similar to Anopinella Powell. Males of E. bigaulae possess a preponderance of putative secondary sexual characters, including the typical euliine foreleg hairpencil, a swollen area near the base of the forewing costa, a dense patch of elongate androconial scales on the lower surface of the forewing, modified scales in the anal and costal regions of the hindwing, and a band of specialized scales at the terminal edge of abdominal segment IX. In addition, males of this species have an unusual row of dense, ascending scales on the lower frons, and forewing veins M3 and CuA1 are stalked; the latter two features are found in no other Euliini.

In the first, he argues that biblical Christianity involves not only the personal, individual standing of the Christian before God and the individual's relationship with Christ, but also a deeply communal element that inspires genuine concern for one's neighbors. In the second, he fleshes out how these sometimes-competing concerns ought to inf luence Christian political thought and engagement. Wallis's inspiration for the title of the book … [Read more...]

CBS bans breasts, buttocks, genitals, this Pink stuff at Grammy Awards
By Obert Madondo | The Canadian Progressive, Feb. 9, 2013:
Nearly ten years after Janet Jackson's famous wardrobe malfunction, the CBS is on high alert concerning nudity. A "Wardrobe Advisory" email the network's Standards & Practices department sent out to representatives of stars scheduled to perform at Sunday's 55th Annual Grammy Awards is warning performers to adequately cover their breasts, buttocks, genitals, curves – everything, really. Best line in the memo: "Thong type costumes are problematic." And most hilarious: "Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples."
Deadline first published the email, which reads:
CBS Program Practices advises that all talent appearing on camera please adhere to Network policy concerning wardrobe.
Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare flesh under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic.
Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible "puffy" bare skin exposure.
Please avoid commercial identification of actual brand name products on T-shirts. Foreign language on wardrobe will need to be cleared.
OBSCENITY OR PARTIALLY SEEN OBSCENITY ON WARDROBE IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR BROADCAST. This as well, pertains to audience members that appear on camera. Finally, the network requests that any organized cause visibly spelled out on talent's wardrobe be avoided. This would include lapel pins or any other form of accessory.
Basically, if CBS was the ultimate moral authority on earth and had the power to recall time it would bar Pink from performing at the 2010 Grammys (above). It'd eject J. Lo (and then boyfriend Puff Daddy) from the 2000 Grammys. MIA's bodacious baby bump (below) would not have been welcome.
I wonder what Toronto-born world renowned pianist Glenn Gould would say. He's being honoured with a posthumous lifetime achievement award. "What, no wardrobe malfunctions? I'll pass."
As you can expect, Twitter went gaga over the pathetic attempt at censorship. American comedian and the Current TV's Joy Behar had this to say: "Grammys are insisting that no breasts, butts or genitals be exposed during the show. Seriously? I only watch for the wardrobe malfunctions." She's not the only celebrity to express her outrage:

Identifying gaps in the research literature on language barriers to health care
Language barriers to access to medical care are a large and growing problem in the United States. According to the 2000 Census, more than 46 million U.S. citizens spoke a language other than English as their primary language. In addition, most health care organizations in the U.S. do not provide adequate language access services. Thus, many patients who are limited-English speakers end up communicating to their health care providers through family, friends, and nonprofessional hospital staff, or they go without any interpreter assistance at all. The purpose of this targeted research project is: (1) to summarize what is currently known about language barriers in the health care setting; (2) to outline the gaps in the published and ongoing research; and (3) to identify how the Foundation might play a role in both advancing the research in this area and promoting the delivery of linguistically accessible health care. The project deliverable will be a peer-reviewed synthesis paper that meets the project objectives.

Re: [Splines] Defining piecewise functions over a variable number of intervals
Unless you are doing something quite peculiar, the built-in
Interpolation and ListInterpolation routines will probably suffice.
With a little extra work, they can handle vector as well as scalar
input data and they shield you from having to deal with the piecewise

General Manager: Vacant
Today WWE marks a shift into the future of Sports Entertainment as WWE presents the new start to World Wrestling Entertainment.
July 15th, 2009- WWE Press Release
~New changes have been made effective August 9th~
Re: WWE Unlimited
I like the back story man, good luck with this and I'll be reading.
Re: WWE Unlimited
Raw coming soon
Re: WWE Unlimited
Looks pretty professional, I guess. You could have come up with better reasons to do some things like cut Smackdown and vacating all titles. However, I understand you just wanted to jump straight into it with 1 brand, the roster you like and champions you want. The roster looks great, though I fear that you'll have to job guys you like out to others because it is too stacked imo. Less PPVs is also always a good thing and as for the GM, I hope it's Coach. Pretty good start.
Re: WWE Unlimited
Looking forward to this - and like the one brand idea. Are you going to at any point have a second show - like Heat or something? Just to further storylines a bit and give time to the underutilised?
And give Santino his own talkshow!
Re: WWE Unlimited
A little over a month since new changes have came about to WWE. But like any overhaul changes are needed along away. Raw and Smackdown will now compete only against each other. With WWE taking a new direction, something new needs to happen. So with that being said there will be a Draft to decide who will go to which brand and who will still have a job. The following is a press release.
But remember to check out the draft this Wednesday. "Where New Things Happen"
Re: WWE Unlimited
With tomorrow (August 12th) being the big draft day, all must wonder who is in charge of Smackdown and Raw. For you the wait is over as WWE releases news on who the General Managers are and much more.

More Stuff Happens With Tom Cruise
A 14-year relationship, probably the most stable one in his life, has just ended for Tom Cruise. Paramount Pictures is severing its ties with what used to be one of the most bankable stars in the world. According to the L.A. Times:
Paramount Pictures is severing its lucrative 14-year relationship with Tom Cruise, whose recent off-screen behavior proved to be too much for Viacom Inc. Chairman Sumner Redstone, who disclosed the superstar's termination Tuesday. "His recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount," Redstone said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. Paramount is Viacom's moviemaking arm.
Will the Cruisey Cruisemeister ever be able to muster up the sanity for a comeback? Who knows? Maybe it's all part of the Scientology plan. All I know is that it's seeming less and less likely to me that he ever really had a relationship with the very private Nicole Kidman.

Well, my eye is all healed, and the fur is almost grown back, so you really can't tell anything was wrong.
But....all that time off, and babying by my family, has resulted in a teeny-tiny weight gain. That, and my summer haircut is growing in nice and thick, so I am back to looking like a shaggy bear!
Mom doesn't mind, though, because it helps me keep her feet toasty warm when I lay across the bottom of the bed!
Go to go - M.
My eye is much better today. The swelling is almost all gone, and I can open my eye 3/4 of the way. I never mentioned that it is my brown eye on my right that got hurt.
I got to go for a nice walk outside, and got to lay down in the grass while Mom worked in the yard. That felt sooo good!
I am staying in the kitchen for now, during the recovery, since I am not too good at navigating with my e-collar on. Kimmi is staying in a different room, so I am not stressed out, and have lots of room to move around!
I will keep you posted. - M.
Well, I still feel a bit out of it, but the swelling is starting to go down and I can at least open my eye.
Kimmi has been moved out of my room while I recover, so I have the place all to myself!
I have to wear this funny red plastic cone over my head, and even though it isn't that wide, it gives me trouble navigating around the house.
Mom has to give me eyedrops three times a day, which I HATE. Dad hold a treat up, and while I am looking that way, Mom squeezes drops until they hit my eye. That is the only way, since understandably I won't let anyone get near my eye.
With the fur shaved, it looks like I have a big white circle around one eye. Dad calls me "Petey". I'll check back in soon. - M

Pentagon sets up fast track for buying cyber war tools
By David Alexander
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon is establishing a fast-track acquisition process that would enable it to develop new cyber warfare capabilities within days or months if urgently needed, the Defense Department said in a report to Congress.
The process, which would be overseen by a new senior-level Cyber Investment Management Board, aims to streamline the sluggish traditional defense acquisition process to meet the rapid pace of events in cyberspace, the 16-page report said.
Congress, in defense legislation enacted last year, directed the Pentagon to develop a strategy that would enable it to speedily acquire cyber warfare tools, applications and other capabilities. The Pentagon sent a report to Congress late last month outlining the strategy.
The report, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters on Thursday, said the Pentagon's acquisition process for cyber warfare capabilities will be divided into two paths - one rapid and one deliberate - that would be used depending on urgency.
"The framework allows for alternative acquisition processes to be tailored to the complexity, cost, urgency of need and fielding timeline associated with developing the cyber warfare capability being developed," the report said.
"Programs with higher risk and longer fielding times, and therefore greater cost and complexity, will be managed with greater oversight and more centralized approvals," it said.
Under the process, cyber needs could be identified and put forward by many different organizations within the department.
U.S. Cyber Command, the combatant command set up nearly two years ago to defend military networks and carry out offensive cyber operations if ordered, would validate the needs. Teams at Cyber Command would decide which acquisition track to follow. Continued...

Operation Napoleon, by Arnaldur Indridason
Operation Napoleon is a stand-alone novel – that is, not one of the books in Indridason's acclaimed series about Reykjavik detective Inspector Erlendur Sveinsson. It was actually the third novel written Arnaldur Indridason, and followed the first two of his Reykjavik Murder Mysteries.
Operation Napoleon is a thriller set in Iceland. It begins ominously with a German bomber on a clandestine mission in 1945, during the last months of the Second World War. But this is no ordinary mission. Strangely, senior American officers are traveling along with German officers in a joint operation of some kind. Then the plane – a large Junker – is caught in a storm over Iceland, and the plane crashes at the Vatnajökull glacier, Europe's largest glacier.
Before the rescue team could get there, the plane was completely buried on the glacier, as if it had been swallowed by the ice masses. A piece of the plane that was found, confirmed what witnesses stated, namely that the plane was German.
Obviously the plane carries a secret of some importance. Partly there is the strange fact that both Americans and Germans were aboard it. Partly the Americans secretly mount several attempts to find and rescue the plane from the base at Keflavik. Partly the Americans keep monitoring the glacier continuously – all the way up to 1999, when the action in the book takes place.
When a satellite image shows that the aircraft has surfaced again, due to shifting ice and melting on the glacier, a top-secret American military team is dispatched to salvage the wreck and bring it out of the country. The team is led by a brute named Ratoff, a master planner. However, this time his plan meets with unforeseen obstacles…
Operation Napoleon is a fast-paced thriller that is quite enjoyable. It has that certain something which makes Arnaldur Indridason such a great writer – and so it actually is a bit of a page turner. However, it is quite far from the best among Arnaldur Indridason's books. The plot is interesting with some neat twists, but the characters are a little too fantastic, quite one-dimensional, and the heroes/heroines much too lucky. Also, the book is quite unrealistic and a tad black and white in its outlook. Even so – it is an Indridason, and quite entertaining, especially if you suspend your disbelief and just sit down to enjoy!
Praise for Operation Napoleon:
"Gripping. . . . As political thrillers go, Operation Napoleon––its frozen secrets, ruthless killers, hapless victims and reluctant heroes––is about the best you can get." — Telegraph-Journal
"Indriðason, one of the new breed of bestselling Scandinavian crime writers, has written another gripping thriller set in his native Iceland." — The Peterborough Examiner
"Slick . . . and with enough chases to keep the reader turning the pages." — The Independent

He was inducted into the Anderson HS Hall of Fame in the spring of 2012 and is scheduled to be inducted into the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in June 2013.
He also served as the head coach at Cadiz High School from 1984-1987 and as an assistant coach at Martins Ferry High School from 1974-1984.
Suriano, who earned his bachelor's degree from West Liberty State College and his master's degree from the University of Dayton, is a member of the Ohio High School Coaches Association, Southwest Ohio Football Coaches Association, American Football Coaches Association, National Education/Ohio Education Association and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Suriano and his wife Crystal have two sons, Michael and Christopher, three grandchildren and live in Anderson Township in Cincinnati.

So how did people do?
I got DRK 7k from 67, then ended up having to swap to WHM to ensure Corri's WAR actually got stuff achieved this weekend.
No movement on missions of any type. /sigh
Then I got to spend forever and a day filling out paperwork, yay!
