Ok, less offending, I'll try:
Greed: To me it is obvious that the anxiety of many here in this forum is not about their freedoms but only about a particular one: making revenue. (At least its the dominant theme here by far)
That's totally fine but may lead to some sort of one-dimentional thinking about the issue at hand and not seeing the bigger picture. That means there are many more facets how you could win or lose in this particular situation.
For example: You are utterly, nearly completely dependent on the existence of the GPL and the fact that WordPress takes it so seriously. My first thought in your situation wouldn't be how they might make my little money-machine jar a little bit (which only exists because of them in the first place). Nor would I think how I'm not allowed to represent their ideal which I just dismissed by letting Envato take away my freedom to chose whatever licence I want – (in exchange for money, in itself still ok).
I would think how I could build trust within the community that provides the very foundation of my whole business.
Waving some legalese document at them with a smirk on my face and then smack-talking them in my forums was the last thing I'd dream of doing.
I'd thank god if my short-term-buck-saving-stunt would settle at the point of them excluding me from representing their ideology.I didn't see that being discussed here.
That's quite harsh. You didn't see that discussed because that is not the subject matter. The topic is about the authors here not being able to hold talks at Wordcamp, a penalty forced onto the marketplace because it wants to exercise it's right as a business to freely choose it's licensing options.
Is this so wrong ? The livelihood of several thousands of developers depend on this. You find this greedy ?
For the record, the argument of dependence is reciprocal and a tautological statement. The marketplace currently fills demand, if customers cannot get what they want, they'd go get it on another platform. Who loses ? Wordpress.
Thanks to marketplaces like this, whether selling licenses/support or GPL/support, demand is filled and it's a win win for all involved.
@Caldazar, just curious, do you sell stock as 100% GPL? And if so, are you comfortable with the fact that people can just resell your work?
@CodingJack, I go into your question first because it's the easier one.
Part of my freelance job is to sell my custom made applications to web-agencies who approximately double the price and sell it to one of their customers. Problem: It quickly became obvious that they were just copying the programs and selling it more than just once. Short: they pirated my copyright.
But just c&p sucks, because the implementation then tends to be crap and definitely not custom tailored.
So I wrote mails along the line: "I saw you copied my programs. Thats fine and to put that on safe ground and make it easier I licence it all under the GPL. B.t.w. if you need help with the implementation, just give me a call"
Point is: It's not about feeling comfortable (I don't initially) its about game theorie. Microsoft for example build its empire on top of a lot of pirated chinese Windows CDs. Granted, it's another environment, but the moral of the story is the same.
If you can make 3 additional bucks by letting s.o. else undeservingly take 2 bucks out of your pocket, do it.
That's what shareholders (greed) never see but entrepreneurs do and just search ways to best adapt to the realities, even if that might seem costly at first.
So here you could team up with a FOSS community. Who knows, they might create awesome custom tailored APIs for the ThemeForest or something, just because they love how Envato sells fully GPL'd themes. Building trust.
Instead the lawyer's route is taken with a lot of boasting in the forums and now you have a bunch of geeks on you, trying to find ways to spit into your soup.
Typps saidIn fact it freely choose your licensing options which I believe will prove to be a great mistake, but that's just a sidenote.
a penalty forced onto the marketplace because it wants to exercise it's right as a business to freely choose it's licensing options.
To me it comes down to respect.
I see your points. I doubt that this story will hurt WordPress that much, but if it escalates I wouldn't say the same fore ThemeForest.
But as said the point is respect and trust. Why does Envato block the chain of free innovation here? Because it can. Now I don't see how you can blame Wordpress for doing because they can. Now they, who provide freely in any sense, are suddenly the ones who have to bring the blessings of high ethics and morals unto you, instead of being pissed?
Now they are the a**es for not letting you represent their ideals although you made it clear you don't give a crap about their ideals but only about how far a legal text forces you to go in terms of cooperation?
Why do you guys even bother to answer him, since he's not a buyer, he's not an author, not part of the community. 100% GPL is bullsh*t, I don't want to end up being included in free bundles just because it's possible legally due to shitty rules.
This story won't affect TF at all, I think it can affect the quality of the wordcamp meetings since there are lots of great people here that could improve the quality of those meetings and promote WordPress a lot. So it's WP who actually loses something.
I want to rephrase that. I shut up the moment you can answer me my simple question:
If you people find 100% GPL sucks (which is totally fine with me, I'm absolutely not about that), why exactly do you find it unfair not being allowed to represent 100% GPL?
How can you be so disrespectfull? How can you make a living with WP and especially with the fact that they believe in 100% GPL, you being fully allowed to (by the GPL) and then rant about how the Vegan-Congress don't want you to represent Veganism while eating a Steak? Why do you even want to represent them? Where is the freaking problem?
What is so wrong about this question that I have to take my 'bullshit somewhere else' as if I want to force you to use this or that licence?
Caldazar said
FinalDestiny saidMade to represent WordPress and the GPL if only those dicks would let you.
100% GPL is bullsh*t, I don't want to end up being included in free bundles just because it's possible legally due to shitty rules.
What are you, like 10 years? No offence but you're behaving like one. You keep talking about greed, like a big idealist you are. Come down to earth among people man..
From your position as a non-author (neither a buyer) you come here and judge authors and Envato about greed, come on… get real. I want my work to be somehow protected, got it??
Anyway this discussion doesn't get anywhere in a constructive way, since every party will stick to their opinions simple as that. The split license is there, it's good and well thought.
Caldazar saidIt does not 'suck', perhaps you got it all wrong. Read split license http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/428/0/split-licensing-and-the-gpl---what-does-it-all-mean
If you people find 100% GPL sucks (which is totally fine with me, I'm absolutely not about that), why exactly do you find it unfair not being allowed to represent 100% GPL?
authors can protect their rights and freedoms to respect – and comply with – the GPL as well as to control their own work.You keep insisting on 10000000% GPL when we already do comply with GPL.
Caldazar said
I want to rephrase that. I shut up the moment you can answer me my simple question:
unfortunately it looks like the only thing you do is to provoke and insult people.
you accuse us of saying something that we never did and then you demand an answer and an explanation.
is pointless to discuss with you in this thread but for those who don't see the mechanism you are using I will just point out that:
no one is against GPL and no one said GPL sucks.
no one said is unfair to represent 100% GPL
in this specific case of wordpress my personal opinion is that they try to enforce some rules that they don't respect themselves in the first place. this has nothing to do with GPL beeing awesome or bad or the freedom to release your work 100% free.
You keep insisting on 10000000% GPL when we already do comply with GPL.Please no, I don't. I don't even insist on you using GPL at all. I never said I wasn't greedy (its the basis of our economical system for a reason), just that I find it unwise to follow that impulse if better long-term-options are available.
I just don't get why you want to represent 10000000% GPL and rant about not being allowed to?

A classic for good reason.
A classic in the company's storied line of all-weather-ready apparel, the Giordana Silverline Jacket long ago struck a chord of perfection with its excellent fit and ability to ensure comfort in nearly any low temperature range. It's seen some upgraded materials and details over the years, but little has changed substantially, and we think that's a good thing.
The Silverline Jacket is a relative bargain, too. The Corsa fabric, which is waterproof/windproof/breathable, is great as an outer layer on cold days, and it's even brushed on the inside for softness and a little extra warmth. Aiding in the fit and function are Super Roubaix panels on the back, down the sides, and under the arms. Super Roubaix is a nylon-spandex blend frequently seen in arm warmers, helping both with fit precision and moisture evaporation. The chest panels, the majority of the arm panels, and the two big back panels are Corsa again for warmth (the spearhead down the middle is Super Roubaix, however).
The jacket works great as a warm-up/cool-down piece for races, but more importantly, it's a winter jacket for the daily grind. Any time it's below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, you'll want something that's windproof for your chest like the Silverline, which makes a great piece for such weather. It's not heavily insulated, however, so the colder it gets, the more you'll want to layer up inside — something the generous cut of the jacket allows rather easily.
The Giordana Silverline Jacket has all the Giordana hallmarks, too. The zipper has an easy-to-grab rubber pull tab that works great even when wearing gloves, and there is a draft flap behind the zipper as well. The tops of the pockets are finished with reflective piping. The Giordana logos on the chest and arms are also reflective. It's available in six sizes from Small to XXX-Large and in four colors — Red/black white, Fluo Yellow/black white, Blue/black white, and Black/black white.

Silverline is cool!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size

I have used this jacket in the Andes Mountains (Chile, 30-35 °F) and the jacket is very warm only using a jersey below.
However, if you are going down from the top of a mountain, maybe you should use a layer with windstoper technology.
Good roads from Chile =)

WATCH: Kendrick Lamar drops freestyle for 'GQ's' 'Men Of The Year' issue
Listen to Kendrick Lamar on iHeartRadio
Kendrick Lamar is proving why he deserves to be "GQ" magazine's "Rapper of the Year." In a video posted on GQ's website, K-Dot unleashes a freestyle rap in celebration of the honor.
The video also takes fans behind the scenes of the photoshoot for December's "Men of the Year" issue. Kendrick was selected as one of five celebrities to grace separate covers of the annual spotlight issue.
In an accompanying article, Kendrick opens up about his relationship with Drake, who he seemingly dissed on his cypher freestyle at the BET Hip Hop Awards. He says the two are "pretty cool," but adds that he "would be okay" if they weren't.
The other celebs featured on "GQ's" "Men of the Year" cover include Justin Timberlake, late actor James Gandolfini, Matthew McConaughey and Will Ferrell and his "Anchorman" character Ron Burgundy.

Teens Dress as Twin Towers, Win Costume Contest
(NEWSER) – And this year's prize for Worst Halloween Costume Idea goes to ... the two British 19-year-olds who went to a nightclub's costume contest dressed as the Twin Towers on 9/11. That's not the only prize they were awarded: The teens, whose World Trade Center costumes were marked "North Tower" and "South Tower" and were decorated with the two hijacked planes and burning wreckage, won the entire contest and received almost $250 in shopping vouchers. Not surprisingly, outrage ensued when their story gained attention, and they've since apologized, explaining that they "never meant to be offensive" but rather to "depict a serious, modern-day horror." The Independent has a picture.

title: I Didn't Know That: How Christmas Trees Are Made

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
The last 20 years have seen a huge increase in the Chinese economy thanks partly to Christmas Trees
The tradition of Christmas trees is believed to have begun in Germany around the 18th Century, but it was Queen Victoria who made them fashionable in Britain when she was pictured standing next to one with her family in 1846.
This factory in Suzhou makes SHEN DAN CHO  - as they call them - in all sorts of sizes.  This is how they produce a two meter high version.
The branches start out as flat strips of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC to you and me.
The reels are unraveled and as they pass through rollers they're bonded and stick together.
Then a circular blade slices through the PVC,  shredding it,  and making the needles.
The shredded PVC is twisted around a metal wire and then pulled through a small coil.  This separates the needles and makes them nice and bushy.
These machines produce branches measuring around six meter long.
Of course a tree with branches this big isn't really very practical, so they're cut down to size by hand. They're cut this way because a mechanical cutting machine would only flatten the needles back down.
A bunch of branches are then sewn together using a polypropylene twine, and the sharp ends are bent over to stop little children hurting themselves as they hang their baubles from the tree.
Now all that's left to do is attach the branches to the metal trunks of the tree and it becomes one of the one million SHEN DAN CHO that are made here at this factory in China.
Happy Christmas!

Works, but not easy to set up
By CT Joe
from CT
Bought this to boost my Wi-Fi signal. It's not as easy as plug and play as the catalog leads you to believe. Comes with tiny manual with even smaller print. They include several additional "quick start" sheets which leave you confused as to which one or the manual is the correct one. Have to go through a number of set up steps (14) to initialize it. If you take too long on any one step you have to start over from the beginning. Took about 45 minutes to set up but worth the effort.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works Great!
By Laura Lee
from Phoenix, AZ
We had bought another booster from another company, but it kept dropping the signal. This booster works great! We have a 3600 sq ft. hone on one level, and we just placed it half way between the router and all our wireless devices in the house. We were having problems getting a strong enough signal in some of our back bedrooms, now it is no problem. I was also having problems losing the signal while streaming movies to my internet based TV. Not anymore! Super easy setup.
WiFi booster thats works
By southgate
from Naples Fl
You just plug this into your router or use by plugging into wall . You can use it as a quest hot spot so they don't have access into your main router or password . Its very fast and works every time !!!! For weak Wifi it really boosts the signal and speed . I have three units one at my shop for customer access one at home for my wifi radio and one I take when I travel !!
works great.
By Raven
from Hood River Oregon
Comes with a VERY through manual which totally intimidated me and I thought...I can't follow all this...I don't understand what all these terms mean...do I use this set up or that...I'll have to send it back. Then I just tried using the one page installation sheet included in the packet and it all was easy and worked great. I think for you techies there is a lot this can do but I just needed a signal booster in my home and it has been great.
Works as described
By Vido
from Wilson, NC
Great product, strong wi-fi signal even in a 2-story house. A little tricky to set-up, you have to read and follow the instructions.
Did not work
By B
from California
The instruction was too complicated. It did now work for our computer. I sent it back right away.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Eventually very happy with purchase
By Mark
from Rancho Mirage, CA
It was quite difficult to get it to start working properly, but once started it works like a charm. There is no tech support from the manufacturer, but Hammacher Schlemmer provided tech support.
By AC
from Dallas, TX
I bought this in hopes of strengthening the signal of my wifi hotspot. However, I could not get the product set up. After putting in the keycode and admin password the screen locked up and would not progress any further. There were no troubleshooting tips given with the instructions, and no info was given to contact the maker of the product for help. I have returned this product.
The Boost I needed!
By Tom
from Henniker, NH
I wanted to use this to boost the signal in an area where I wasn't sure it would work. Sometimes I had a signal and sometimes I didn't. Now I have a strong signal all the time. It is great!
Great product!
By Jim
from Kerrville, TX
Now my husband can use his computer on Wi-Fi in his office. The computer could not access the wi-fi signal before installing the booster.

In November, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) announced two new green building rating systems, LEED for Retail and the LEED Volume Program.
LEED for Retail is designed for high-performance retail projects, including banks, restaurants, apparel, electronics, and big box stores. The LEED Volume Program offers building owners a streamlined way to certify a large number of new construction projects or existing buildings.
While they may not be directly involved in the decision to build green, concrete producers and contractors are becoming the biggest champions for concrete as a sustainable building material. Those who are up-to-date with sustainable construction trends are on the front lines of the industry's effort to expand concrete's role in this growing market.
Producers, contractors, and architects can learn about and discuss green building issues at the third annual GREENSITE Luncheon & Forum at World of Concrete. The editors of The Concrete Producer and Concrete Construction magazines will host the event at the Las Vegas Convention Center, from noon to 2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 20. Holcim is the event's sponsor.
Many contractors are concerned that green techniques will reduce profit margins, require special equipment, or involve excessive documentation. The GREENSITE luncheon connects interested contractors with experienced professionals who have surpassed these challenges.
Industry experts will discuss various perspectives on the green building movement, including: using construction data analysis to find green projects in your area; reducing waste materials with Building Information Modeling (BIM); and using new tools and software to include more recycled material in the construction process.
After the speaker presentations, a panel will answer attendees' questions. The event is also a networking opportunity for producers and contractors to share their tips, advice, and experiences with helping secure concrete's place as a key building material in sustainable projects. Last year's event brought together almost 100 contractors, producers, and architects.
More green sites at WOC
The GREENSITE exhibitor area at World of Concrete will feature sustainable products and technologies in the Central Hall, near Registration.
This year, experts from the concrete industry's Joint Sustainability Initiative (JSI) will be part of the Contractor Clinic speaker series. JSI members include PCA, NRMCA, ACI, Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute, National Concrete Masonry Association, and the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute.
The 30-minute sessions will take place Tuesday, Jan. 18 through Friday, Jan. 21, in the South Hall. The presentation schedule will be available onsite.

Cops seek info in death of South Fla. promoter
Published: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 8:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 8:47 a.m.
PALMETTO BAY, Fla. — Miami-Dade police are asking for the public's help in finding out who killed a South Florida music promoter as he pulled into his driveway last summer.
They say 44-year-old Frederick Duberry was fatally shot in the early morning hours of June 14 outside his Palmetto Bay home. On Tuesday, his family pleaded for help in finding the person who killed Duberry.
The Miami Herald reports police released surveillance video from a camera mounted on Duberry's house shows a man wearing a skull cap walk into view, holding what appears to be an assault rifle. The shooter then jumped into a car that sped away.
The Herald reports Duberry went by the name Keith Duberry in his music career.
Detective Javier Baez encourages anyone with information to contact police.

Opponent Gives Spitzer Free Pass
Fellow Democratic hopeful Scott Stringer says he won't challenge Eliot Spitzer's petition signatures in the New York City comptroller's race.
Stringer, who's the Manhattan borough president, also says he'll also encourage his supporters not to do so.
He spoke while greeting voters Friday in downtown Brooklyn.
Stringer says he's eager to get into the election fight.
Spitzer met the deadline Thursday night to file thousands of signatures for his bid to revive his political career. He says more than 27,000 signatures were submitted to the city Board of Elections. He needed 3,750 valid signatures.
Spitzer resigned as governor in 2008 amid a prostitution scandal.

Farewell, Christina!January 11, 2010 • 1 Comment • category: At Home with Algonquin
Publicist (and frequent blog contributor) Christina Gates recently decided to take on a brand new job with the website yelp.com. We wish her the best of luck in her new position, and we are certainly going to miss her like crazy around here! On her last day, Christina shared her reflections on her time at Algonquin, beginning with her first post-college job in 2004.
I first arrived at Algonquin the summer after I graduated college. I was nervous, jobless… and pretty sure I'd accidentally walked into an abandoned warehouse. There were boxes of books haphazardly strewn and not a single desk or cubicle or person in sight. I finally gathered enough courage to wander out of the "lobby" in order to let someone know I was there for my interview. I heard about the gig through the creative writing department at UNC and knew it was a part-time opportunity as the "publishing coordinator" (which I later learned equates to: office manager and then some).
I landed the job and began my days at 10am with a pick-up at the PO boxes. Most of my time was spent folding press materials, stuffing jiffy bags, weighing parcels, and kicking the photocopier. We had an ancient meter machine that allowed us to illegally turn back time (and make a few last-minute awards deadlines!). The strips were wetted to adhere (blegh!), and the machine had to frequently be un-jammed with the help of a paper clip (and infinite patience).
I loved the casual atmosphere and all my cool colleagues, but being in grad school and working for less than peanuts was not cooperating. So after a year-and-a-half, I found full-time work elsewhere. One production house and one university press job later, I was thrilled to hear about an opening in the publicity department at Algonquin. An opportunity to come back to my old stomping grounds and work with Craig and Michael all over again? Yes, please!
I found a lot of the things had stayed the same: we still have bagels every Wednesday; we still rely a lot on our awesome interns; we still hold our 10am meetings closer to 10:30; and we still publish great books. But things had changed too. The majority of mailings go out of our warehouse now, which makes that "lobby" a lot more spacious (if not quite yet feng shui). And there's a real-deal state-of-the-art meter machine! The house seems to have really found its stride and – though it's always pumped out great books – now it's also tremendously successful in making sure all of them get noticed. I was lucky enough to cheer on several Algonquin titles as we watched them climb the New York Times bestseller list and I can't tell you how rewarding that's been. I feel so lucky to have been a part of that process and a player on the Algonquin team.
But the winds have shifted, and once again I find myself saying goodbye to my friends (and "family") here. It's time for me to explore the world beyond publishing and dive into something entirely new. Believe me, I'm putting on my floaties first! I'll miss all my colleagues and the fab authors I've worked with over the years. If any of you ever need me, I'm just a Yelp away!
Farewell, Algonkians, farewell. I leave you with my gratitude, my best wishes – and my toaster. Enjoy.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the purpose of this Act is to provide for the termination of Federal supervision over the trust and restricted property of certain tribes and bands of Indians located in the State of Utah and the individual members thereof, for the disposition of federally owned property acquired or withdrawn for the administration of the affairs of such Indians, and for a termination of Federal services furnished such Indians because of their status as Indians.
For the purposes of this Act—
(a) "Tribe" means any of the following tribes or bands of Indians located in the State of Utah: Shivwits, Kanosh, Koosharem, and Indian Peaks Bands of the Paiute Indian Tribe.
(b) "Secretary" means the Secretary of the Interior.
(c) "Lands" means real property, interests therein, or improvements thereon, and include water rights.
(d) "Individual Indian" means any individual Indian whose name appears on the final roll prepared pursuant to section 3 of this Act.
(e) "Tribal property" means any real or personal property, including water rights, or any interest in real or personal property, that belongs to the tribe and either is held by the United States in trust for the tribe or is subject to a restriction against alienation imposed by the United States.
Each tribe shall have a period of six months from the date of this Act in which to prepare and submit to the Secretary a proposed roll of the members of the tribe living on the date of this Act, which shall be published in the Federal Register. If a tribe fails to submit such roll within the time specified in this section, the Secretary shall prepare a proposed
Page 668
role for the tribe, which shall be published in the Federal Register. Any person claiming membership rights in the tribe or an interest in its assets, or a representative of the Secretary on behalf of any such person, may, within sixty days from the date of publication of the proposed roll, file an appeal with the Secretary contesting the inclusion or omission of the name of any person on or from such roll. The Secretary shall review such appeals and his decisions thereon shall be final and conclusive. After disposition of all such appeals by the Secretary, the roll of the tribe shall be published in the Federal Register, and such roll shall be final for the purposes of this Act.
Upon publication in the Federal Register of the final roll as provided in section 3 of this Act, the rights or beneficial interests in tribal property of each person whose name appears on the roll shall constitute personal property which may be inherited or bequeathed, but shall not otherwise be subject to alienation or encumbrance before the transfer of title to such tribal property as provided in section 5 of this Act without the approval of the Secretary. Any contract made in violation of this section shall be null and void.
(a) The Secretary shall, within six months after the publication of each final membership roll, notify the tribe of the period of time during which the tribe may study means of disposition of tribal property, real and personal, under supervision of the United States. Such period shall not be less than three months and not more than two years, including any authorized extension of the original periods. The Secretary is authorized to provide such reasonable assistance as may be requested by the tribe in the formulation of a plan for the disposition or future control and management of the property, including necessary consultations with representatives of Federal departments and agencies, officials of the State of Utah and political subdivisions thereof, and members of the tribe. During such period, the tribe may elect—
(1) to apply to the Secretary for the transfer to a corporation or other legal entity organized by the tribe in a form satisfactory to the Secretary of title to all or any part of the tribal property, and the Secretary is authorized to make such transfer: Provided, That the Secretary of the Interior shall not approve any form of organization that provides for the transfer of stock or an undivided share in corporate assets as compensation for services of agents or attorneys unless such transfer is based upon an appraisal of tribal assets that is satisfactory to the Secretary;
(2) to apply to the Secretary for the transfer to one or more trustees designated by the tribe of title to all or any part of the tribal property, real and personal, the title to be held by such trustee for management or liquidation purposes under terms and conditions prescribed by the tribe, and the Secretary is authorized to make such transfer if he approves the trustees and the terms and conditions of the trust;
(3) to apply to the Secretary for the sale of all or any part of the tribal property, and for the pro rata distribution among the members of the tribe of all or any part of the proceeds of sale or of any other tribal funds, and the Secretary is authorized and directed to sell such property upon such terms and conditions as he deems proper and to make such distribution among the members of the tribe after deducting, in his discretion, reasonable costs of sale and distribution; and
(4) to apply to the Secretary for a division of all or any part of the tribal land into parcels for members and for public purposes,
Page 669
together with a general plan for the subdivision showing the approximate size, location, and number of parcels, and the Secretary is authorized to issue patents for that purpose.
(b) Title to any tribal property that is not transferred in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall be transferred by the Secretary either to all members of the tribe as tenants in common or to one or more trustees designated by him for the liquidation and distribution of assets among the members of the tribe under such terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe: Provided, That the trust agreement shall provide for the termination of the trust not more than three years from the date of such transfer unless the term of the trust is extended by order of a judge of a court of record designated in the trust agreement.
(c) When approving or disapproving the selection of trustees in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, and when designating trustees pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, the Secretary shall give due regard to the laws of the State of Utah that relate to the selection of trustees: Provided further, That the trust ageement shall provide that at any time before the sale of tribal property by the trustees the tribe may notify the trustees that it elects to retain such property and to transfer title thereto to a corporation, other legal entity, or trustee in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of this section, and that the trustees shall transfer title to such property in accordance with the notice from the tribe if it is approved by the Secretary.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the Secretary is directed to reserve subsurface rights in tribal property from any sale or division of such property, and to require any trustee or trustees to whom title to tribal property is transferred to retain title to the subsurface rights in such property for not less than 10 years.
(a) The Secretary is authorized and directed to transfer within two years after the date of this Act to each member of each tribe unrestricted control of funds or other personal property held in trust for such member by the United States.
(b) All restrictions on the sale or encumbrance of trust or restricted land owned by members of the tribe (including allottees, heirs, and devisees, either adult or minor) are hereby removed two years after the date of this Act, and the patents or deeds under which titles are then held shall pass the titles in fee simple, subject to any valid encumbrance: Provided, That the provisions of this subsection shall not apply to subsurface rights in such lands, and the Secretary is directed to transfer such subsurface rights to one or more trustees designated by him for management for a period not less than 10 years. The title to all interests in trust or restricted land acquired by members of the tribe by devise or inheritance two years or more after the date of this Act shall vest in such members in fee simple, subject to any valid encumbrance.
(c) Prior to the time provided in subsection (b) of this section for the removal of restrictions on land owned by more than one member of a tribe, the Secretary may—
(1) upon request of any of the owners, partition the land and issue to each owner a patent or deed for his individual share that shall become unrestricted two years from the date of this Act;
(2) upon request of any of the owners and a finding by the Secretary that partition of all or any part of the land is not practicable, cause all or any part of the land to be sold at not less than the appraised value thereof and distribute the proceeds of sale to the owners: Provided, That any one or more of the owners may elect before a sale to purchase the other interests in the land at not less than the appraised value thereof, and the purchaser shall receive an unrestricted patent or deed to the land; and
Page 670
(3) if the whereabouts of none of the owners can be ascertained, cause such lands to be sold and deposit the proceeds of sale in the Treasury of the United States for safekeeping.
(a) The Act of June 25, 1910 (36 Stat. 855), the Act of February 14, 1913 (37 Stat. 678), and other Acts amendatory thereto shall not apply to the probate of the trust and restricted property of the members of a tribe who die six months or more after the date of this Act.
(b) The laws of the several States, Territories, possessions, and the District of Columbia with respect to the probate of wills, the determination of heirs, and the administration of decedents' estates shall apply to the individual property of members of the tribe who die six months after the date of this Act.
The Secretary is authorized, in his discretion, to transfer to a tribe or any member or group of members thereof any federally owned property acquired, withdrawn, or used for the administration of the affairs of the tribe which he deems necessary for Indian use, or to transfer to a public or nonprofit body any such property which he deems necessary to public use and from which members of the tribes will derive benefit.
No property distributed under the provisions of this Act shall at the time of distribution be subject to Federal or State income tax. Following any distribution of property made under the provisions of this Act, such property and any income derived therefrom by the individual, corporation, or other legal entity shall be subject to the same taxes, State and Federal, as in the case of non-Indians: Provided, That for the purpose of capital gains or losses the base value of the property shall be the value of the property when distributed to the individual, corporation, or other legal activity.
Nothing contained in this Act shall deprive any Indian tribe, band, or other identifiable group of American Indians of any right, privilege, or benefit granted by the Indian Claims Commission Act of August 13, 1946 (ch. 959, 60 Stat. 1049), including the right to pursue claims against the United States as authorized by said Act.
Nothing in this Act shall abrogate any valid lease, permit, license, right-of-way, lien, or other contract heretofore approved. Whenever any such instrument places in or reserves to the Secretary any powers, duties, or other functions with respect to the property subject thereto, the Secretary may transfer such functions, in whole or in part, to any Federal agency with the consent of such agency and may transfer such function, in whole or in part, to a State agency with the consent of such agency and the other party or parties to such instrument.
Nothing in this Act shall abrogate any water rights of a tribe or its members.
Prior to the transfer of title to, or the removal of restrictions from, property in accordance with the provisions of this Act, the Secretary shall protect the rights of members of a tribe who are minors, non compos mentis, or in the opinion of the Secretary in need of assistance in conducting their affairs by causing the appointment of guardians in courts of competent jurisdiction, or by such other means as he may deem adequate.
Pending the completion of the property dispositions provided for in this Act, the funds now on deposit, or hereafter deposited, in the United States Treasury to the credit of the tribe shall be available for advance to the tribe, or for expenditure, for such purposes as may be designated by the governing body of the tribe and approved by the Secretary.
The Secretary shall have authority to execute such patents, deeds, assignments, releases, certificates, contracts, and other instrumens as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions
Page 671
of this Act, or to establish a marketable and recordable title to any property disposed of pursuant to this Act.
The Secretary is authorized and directed to cancel any indebtedness payable to the United States by the tribe arising out of any loan made by the United States to such tribe, and any indebtedness, whether payable to the United States or to the tribe, arising out of a loan made from the proceeds thereof to an individual Indian.
(a) Upon removal of Federal restrictions on the property of each tribe and individual members thereof, the Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register a proclamation declaring that the Federal trust relationship to the affairs of the tribe and its members has terminated. Thereafter individual members of the tribe shall not be entitled to any of the services performed by the United States for Indians because of their status as Indians, all statutes of the United States which affect Indians because of their status as Indians shall no longer be applicable to the members of the tribe, and the laws of the several States shall apply to the tribe and its members in the same manner as they apply to other citizens or persons within their jurisdiction.
(b) Nothing in this Act shall affect the status of the members of the tribe as citizens of the United States, or shall affect their rights, privileges, immunities, and obligations as such citizens.
(a) Effective on the date of the proclamation provided for in section 17 of this Act, the corporate charter issued pursuant to the Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 984), as amended, to the Kanosh Band of Paiute Indians of the Kanosh Reservation, Utah, and ratified by the band on August 15, 1943, and to the Shivwits Band of Paiute Indians of the Shivwits Reservation, Utah, and ratified by the band on August 30, 1941, are hereby revoked.
(b) Effective on the date of the proclamation provided for in section 17 of this Act, all powers of the Secretary or other officer of the United States to take, review, or approve any action under the constitution and bylaws of the tribe are hereby terminated. Any powers conferred upon the tribe by such constitution which are inconsistent with the provisions of this Act are hereby terminated. Such termination shall not affect the power of the tribe to take any action under its constitution and bylaws that is consistent with this Act without the participation of the Secretary or other officer of the United States.
The Secretary is authorized to issue rules and regulations necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Act, and may in his discretion provide for tribal referenda on matters pertaining to management or disposition of tribal assets.
All Acts or parts of Acts inconsistent with this Act are hereby repealed insofar as they affect the tribe or its members. The Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 984), as amended by the Act of June 15, 1935 (49 Stat. 378), shall not apply to the tribe and its members after the date of the proclamation provided for in section 17 of this Act.
If any provision of this Act, or the application thereof, to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the Act and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
(a) Not later than two years after the date of this Act, the management and operation of irrigation works for Indian lands of the tribe by the Bureau of Indian Affairs shall be discontinued. Upon such discontinuance, the Secretary shall cancel the unpaid irrigation operation and maintenance assessments and reimbursable irrigation construction charges against such lands.
(b) The Secretary may transfer the title to such irrigation works to water users, water user's associations organized for such purpose, or to corporations organized, or trustees designated, as provided in section 5.
Page 672
Prior to the issuance of a proclamation in accordance with the provisions of section 17 of this Act, the Secretary is authorized to undertake, within the limits of available appropriations, a special program of education and training designed to help the members of the tribe to earn a livelihood, to conduct their own affairs, and to assume their responsibilities as citizens without special services because of their status as Indians. Such program may include language training, orientation in non-Indian community customs and living standards, vocational training and related subjects, transportation to the place of training or instruction, and subsistence during the course of training or instruction. For the purposes of such program the Secretary is authorized to enter into contracts or agreements with any Federal, State, or local governmental agency, corporation, association, or person. Nothing in this section shall preclude any Federal agency from undertaking any other program for the education and training of Indians with funds appropriated to it.
Approved, September 1, 1954.

30. Green Bay - DT SHELDON RICHARDSON
31. Houston - OT ODAY ABOUSHI
32. New York Giants - CB DAVID AMERSON
1. Jacksonville Jaguars -
QB Geno Smith, West Virginia (6'3, 215lbs)
The Jaguars are a mess right now. Gabbert, even before the injury, looked terrible, and their defense wasn't nearly what it was a year ago. Geno Smith is their best bet at moving forward since I see Gene Smith getting fired at GM.
Needs: QB, OL, DL | Passing(-18.2), Pass Block(-19.4), Pass Rush (-13.7)
2. Kansas City Chiefs -
QB Matt Barkley, USC (6'2, 220lbs)
The Chiefs needs on defense cannot be overstated; they are terrible. Among the worst in pass coverage, and next to no pass rush. On the offense Cassel isn't getting it done, and the team is clearly losing faith in him. Barkley presents a new beginning for an up and coming team.
Needs: QB, DB, DL | Passing(-1.7), Pass Coverage(-15.4), Pass Rush(-8.4)
3. Cleveland Browns -
LB Jarvis Jones, Georgia (6'2 242lbs)
The Browns actually aren't as bad as their record indicates. They've had a few losses by just a few points, and could easily be 3-4. Brandon Weeden isn't playing well, but I can't imagine them drafting another QB yet. An obvious area of weakness is the pass rush. Browns are getting zero pass rush from the linebacker position, and Jarvis Jones should immediately help that.
Needs: LB, QB, DL | Pass Rush(-9.1), Passing(-12.6), Rush(1.9)
4. Oakland Raiders -
DT Star Lotulelei, Utah (6'4 325lbs)
The Raiders have one of the worst pass rushes in football right now. Tommy Kelly is terrible, and expect him to be cut. Contrary to popular belief, Carson Palmer is not the problem. His offensive line is 30th in pass blocking, and 29th in run blocking. Star Lotulelei is a rare breed of defensive tackle that could immediately change the face of that d-line. Raiders should be looking hard for some offensive line help though.
Needs: DL, OL, DB | Pass Rush(-22.9), Run Block(-20.5), Pass Block(-19.1)
5. Carolina Panthers -
DT Jonathon Hankins, Ohio State (6'4 325lbs)
The Panthers defense, again, are having a terrible year. Worst run defense in the NFL, and 3rd worst in pass coverage. They ignored DT last draft by taking Kuechly, and have to address it this time around. Jonathan Hankins isn't as quick as Lotulelei, but not many guys are. He'll immediately help the run game, and begin drawing double teams early in his career
Needs: DL, DB, OL | Run Def(-28.7), Pass Coverage(-21.1), Run Block(-4.7)
6. Indianapolis Colts -
DE Sam Montgomery, LSU (6'4 260lbs)
Indianapolis seems to be heading in the right direction. Luck has been playing well, and the offense seems to be on its way, but the defense is struggling. Stopping the run has been a problem for them all season, and some help on the defensive line is needed. It was a tough decision between Mingo, and Montgomery, but Sam Montgomery is a more sound run stopper, and an effective pass rusher.
Needs: DL, WR, OL | Run Def(-24.0), Passing(-4.2), Run Block(-3.6)
7. Buffalo Bills -
QB Tyler Wilson, Arkansas (6'3, 200lbs)
Remember coming into this season that the Bills were supposed to have the best defensive line in the NFL? Guess what, they're 30th in run defense. Marcel Dareus is playing terrible, Mario Williams isn't living up to the contract, and yet somehow, Kyle Williams remains one of the best DTs in the NFL. I'm sure they'll give them some time to mesh, but in the meanwhile they need to replace the 33rd ranked QB in the NFL.
Needs: QB, DL, OL | Passing(-15.2), Run Def(-22.7), Run Block(0.3)
8. Tennessee Titans -
DE Barkevious Mingo, LSU (6'4 245lbs)
The Titans are a very hard team to dissect. They resigned Michael Griffin to a 5-year/35M contract, and he's by far the worst safety in the NFL right now. I can't imagine they'll go safety this early, especially since they're locked into Griffin, so they need to add some depth behind Kamerion Wimbley and Derrick Morgan. BPA pick here.
Needs: DB, DL, RB | Pass Coverage(-22.7), Pass(-12.6), Run(-2.5)
9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -
CB Dee Milliner, Alabama (6'1 185lbs)
The Bucs could go a few different ways with this pick, but I think Milliner works. They don't need help at CB immediately, but Ronde Barber is getting old, and Eric Wright has been sub-par so far.
Needs: DL, LB, DB | Pass Rush(-12.9), Run Block (3.7), Pass Coverage(5.7)
10. Cincinnati Bengals -
DE/LB DaMontre Moore, Texas A&M (6'4 250lbs)
Surprise pick for some of you, but Moore has the makings of the next DeMarcus Ware. He JUST turned 20 years old, and is leading the NCAA in sacks with 9.5. Would not be surprised if by draft time, he's a top-5 pick. Was named to the mid-season All-American team, and in my opinion, is exactly what we need on our defense.
Needs: LB, OL, WR | Run Block(-13.7), Rush(-4.2), Pass Def(2.4)
11. New York Jets -
RB Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina (6'0 218lbs)
The Jets front office will be looking to make excuses for Sanchez's poor play, and by adding a RB, they'll attempt to fix the problem. Lattimore has the potential to be an elite back, and the Jets offense is struggling. Perfect fit.
Needs: OL, LB, RB | Run Block(-25.7), Pass Rush(-25.5), Rush(-2.7)
12. St. Louis Rams -
LT Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M (6'6 310lbs)
Earlier in the season, the Rams traded former #2 overall pick Jason Smith to NYJ for Wayne Hunter, seemingly to dump his salary. They're in need of a blindside protector, and Joeckel is the drafts best tackle. Rams are in good shape for the future.
Needs: OL, DB, WR | Pass Block(-11.2), Pass Coverage(1.0), Run Def(6.9)
13. New Orleans Saints -
DE Bjoern Werner, FSU (6'4 260lbs)
The entire Saints defense needs an overhaul. The defensive line isn't terrible, but the linebacker and defensive backs are awful. They are getting ZERO pass rush from the defensive line, and it's killing their defense. Werner is the BPA, and should add the ability to get to the QB.
Needs: LB, DB, DL | Pass rush(-29.0), Pass Coverage(-22.3), Run Def(-8.2)
14. Dallas Cowboys -
NT Jonathon Jenkins, Georgia (6'3 350lbs)
Who is the Cowboys' best offensive lineman right now? Nate Livings. While they should address the entire right side of the line within the draft, I believe they're looking for a nose tackle so they can move Ratliff outside. Jenkins is an absolute load, and can collapse the pocket.
Needs: DL, OL, DB | Pass Coverage(-3.1), Pass Block(-1.6), Run Block(1.5)
15. San Diego Chargers -
WR Keenan Allen, Cal (6'3 215lbs)
The San Diego Chargers were recently caught with stickum, and previous to that, their wide receivers weren't good anyways. That leads to me to give them a capable wide receiver, because if you're using stickum, and still can't catch a ball, you need a new receiver.
Needs: WR, DB, DL | Pash Rush(-9.1), Pass Coverage(-6.5), Rush(-5.5)
16. Philadelphia Eagles -
CB Jonathan Banks, Mississippi State (6'2 185lbs)
Crazy to think that the Eagles will be looking CB again, but it makes sense. Asomugha is due $15M next season, Rogers-Cromartie is a free agent, and they'll be looking to replace at least one of them. Safety is another option here, but I don't believe there are any safeties worth the #16 overall pick. Tackle is also a need right now, but Peters should be back before next season.
Needs: DB, LB, QB | Pass Block(-11.7), Rush(-3.5), Pass(9.3)
17. Detroit Lions -
CB Xavier Rhodes, FSU (6'2 215lbs)
Seems like every year the Lions are looking for secondary help. They have no one in the secondary that can tackle in run support, and Rhodes has the size and ability to be that guy.
Needs: DB, OL, LB | Run Def(-14.6), Pass Rush(-2.3), Pass(-2.7)
18. Arizona Cardinals -
LT Taylor Lewan, Michigan (6'8 302lbs)
Giving the Cardinals anything other than an offensive linemen would be just cruel. Their pass and run blocking total is a whopping -108.1 (Jacksonville is 2nd worst with -40.0) Not much to say here. No other choice.
Needs: OL, OL, OL | Pass Block(-66.3), Run Block(-31.7), Pass(-7.5)
19. Minnesota Vikings -
LB Manti Te'o, Notre Dame (6'2 255lbs)
Little late off the board, but here he his. The Vikings defense is doing well, but there are still a few holes. Jasper Brinkley is playing awful in the middle, and I expect them to upgrade. I believe Te'o projects better as a 3-4 ILB anyways, so this makes a lot of sense.
Needs: LB, WR, DL | Rush(6.1), Pass(8.7)
20. St. Louis Rams -
WR Justin Hunter, Tennessee (6'4 200lbs)
Not too many holes in the St. Louis roster if the draft went like this. Fischer is doing a good job getting them back on track. Hunter gives Bradford another deep threat.
Needs: OL, DB, WR | Pass Block(-11.2), Pass Coverage(1.0), Run Def(6.9)
21. Miami Dolphins -
G Chance Warmack, Alabama (6'3 325lbs)
The Miami Dolphins are looking up, who would have thought? Warmack is a powerful run blocker that should open things up for both the running game, and the passing game.
Needs: OL, WR, DB | Run Block(-12.4), Pass Block(3.5), Rush(-4.1)
22. Baltimore Ravens -
LB Alex Ogletree, Georgia (6'3 240lbs)
With the recent injury of Ray Lewis, you have to assume he's nearly done. Even before the injury, he wasn't the old Ray. The Ravens will be looking for their next MLB, and Ogletree certainly looks the part.
Needs: DL, DB, LB | Pash Rush(-14.6), Run Def(-13.7), Pass Block(-3.0)
23. Seattle Seahawks -
OL Barrett Jones, Alabama (6'5 305lbs)
There's a lot to like about Barrett Jones. He's played all positions on the offensive line, and done them all very well. There are very few weaknesses to this Seattle team, but offensive line is one. Wherever Jones plays, he'll be an immediate factor.
Needs: OL, WR, TE | Pass Block(-5.3), Run Block(-1.1)
24. San Francisco 49ers -
DT Kawann Shorts, Purdue (6'3 310lbs)
The 49ers are in need of a NT, but Short is too much to pass up. I think he's definitely a top-20 player, with the potential to be a steal. Will probably be groomed behind Justin Smith.
Needs: DL, DB | Pass Rush(-1.5), Pass Coverage(6.2)
25. Pittsburgh Steelers -
DE Alex Okafor, Texas (6'4 265lbs)
The Steelers defense has been pretty bad this season by their standards. They're not getting any pass rush, and they've been getting beat everywhere. Putting Okafor at end should give them some pressure from the defensive line to open things up.
Needs: DL, LB, OL | Pass Rush(-24.7), Run Def(-9.7), Rush(-1.7)
26. Denver Broncos -
LB CJ Mosley, Alabama (6'2 235lbs)
Mosley will undoubtedly rise up boards, but this is where he falls right now. The Broncos defense is playing well, but their linebacker play has been pretty inconsistent. Good value here.
Needs: LB, DL, RB | Pass Rush(1.3), Pass Coverage(2.4), Rush(1.6)
27. Atlanta Falcons -
RB Joseph Randle, Oklahoma State (6'1 200lbs)
Not too many holes with Atlanta right now, but running back is one of them. Michael Turner is slowing down, and Jacquizz Rodgers isn't a feature back. Randle has the highest upside of any RB in this draft in my opinion.
Needs: RB, OL, DL | Run Def(-6.6), Rush(-4.7), Pass Block(1.2)
28. Chicago Bears -
TE Tyler Eifert, Notre Dame (6'6 251lbs)
As usual, the Bears defense is killing it, but the offense could be better. The Bears haven't had a solid receiving tight end since they lost Greg Olsen to Carolina. Eifert should help Cry baby Cutler overcome his tears.
Needs: OL, TE, DL | Run Def(-2.1), Pass Block(-1.6)
29. New England Patriots -
DE Corey Lemonier, Auburn (6'4 250lbs)
The defensive line for the Patriots is getting zero pressure on the opposing quarterback. Chandler Jones is already their most productive pass rusher. Lemonier is a pass rush specialist to help the Pats turn their defense around.
Needs: DL, DB, WR | Pass Rush(-3.0), Pass Coverage(1.7)
30. Green Bay Packers -
DT Sheldon Richardson (6'4 295lbs)
The Packers defense has been struggling lately. They're getting no pass rush from the defensive line, and it's hurting them. Adding Richardson, who has the potential to be a very deadly pass rusher should help. Richardson is a late riser in my opinion because he compares favorably to Fletcher Cox. Packers are a Superbowl caliber team on offense, but the defense still has question marks.
Needs: DL, LB, OL | Run Block(-15.7), Pass Rush(-14.5), Rush(2.3)
31. Houston Texans -
Oday Aboushi, Virginia (6'6 310lbs)
The Texans remain are contender, but they're certainly missing right tackle Eric Winston. Current right tackle Derek Newton grades as their worst offensive player, and the Texans will want to get back to having the best line in the NFL. For an offense that relies so heavily on the run game, it's pivotal to have a good offensive line. Aboushi is a big body that holds up in pass protection, and should open holes up for the running game.
Needs: OL, LB, WR | Run Block(-1.4), Pass Block(2.5), Pass Rush(4.7)
32. New York Giants -
CB David Amerson, NC State (6'3 190lbs)
The Giants could go a few ways with this pick, but when you have a solid team like the Giants, you can afford to go BPA. The Giants need a good cover corner that can make big plays, and Amerson has the potential to be exactly that. Corey Webster has been getting torched this season, and although Amukamara has been playing well, you can never have too many good corners in the NFC East.
Needs: OL, DB, LB | Pass Coverage(-13.9), Pass Rush(-2.3), Rush(2.7)

Quarterback is our top need. Cassel blows. Quinn is slightly better, but nothing worth writing home about and Stanzi is a former 5th round pick that hasn't gotten a chance to do anything. A QB has to be the pick and at this point I prefer Tyler Wilson over Matt Barkley.
As for the other needs. I disagree with the CB need to an extent. I think it is more safety play. Flowers is a stud at CB and Routt is holding his own at the #2 spot. Javier Arenas plays the nickel and is above average at it I would say. The trouble of our pass D comes from two different sources IMO. 1) Safety play. Eric Berry hasn't returned to normal yet following his ACL injury. He is having trouble covering and doesn't show the same explosion. Hopefully that will be fixed over time. Kendrick Lewis has been out of the lineup and although he is just above average, with him out it really hurts our pass D. He could be replaced fairly easily. 2) Our offense can't move the ball at all resulting in our D spending incredible amounts of time on the field. So the stats are a little skewed. Can there be improvements, absolutely, but it isn't as big of problem as PFF makes it sound.
Also with our Pass Rush it could use help. Behind Justin Houston there really hasn't been much this season. Tamba is still getting pressure, but hasn't been as effective as years past. IDK why and I do expect that to change. However behind them we have nothing and we need to address the pass rush.

I'd say coinflip for the Vikings whether they would go with T'eo or Hunter. Let's not pretend Michael Jenkins is doing any better at outside WR than Brinkley is at LB, in fact, Brinkley is playing better than Jenkins is, the Vikings need a couple of legitimate WR's, and while I would like to say we have something in Greg Childs, he seems injury prone and we really don't know, so WR is a huge need.
WR, OG, LB are probably the top needs, followed by DT (probably NT).

Needs: WR, DB, DL | Pash Rush(-9.1), Pass Coverage(-6.5), Rush(-5.5)
Spoken like someone who is either blind or hasn't watched a Chargers game yet this season. Stickum or no stickum, the team had the 3rd lowest drop percentage in the league this year. The issue is guys aren't gaining separation and a good deal of that is because they're being deployed on long-developing routes and our OL can't keep Rivers clean for longer than a second or two past the snap (if that). The fact that you're listing DL as a need with OL not listed there completely kills any credibility you have in this mock. Our run defense has been among the better ones in the league, particularly our DL's metrics.
Based upon the model you're suggesting (i.e. BPA among positions of need) the pick is Warmack hands-down. That's a highly unlikely pick considering that AJ Smith has never once spent a 1st round pick on an OL (and the team hasn't done it since the 80's), but Warmack is the BPA at a position of need (both our starting OG's are FA's in 2013). Past that, Lewan's ceiling would vault him above the likes of Allen as a prospect and make him a greater BPA - discussing Allen shouldn't even be occurring since the team won't draft a 1st round (or any early round) WR given that Malcom Floyd (and if you think he's "not good anyways" your talent evaluation skills are pretty terrible) has been extended through 2015, Vincent Brown was a productive contributor and was to be heavily featured in this offense until he broke his ankle (you don't just ignore players on a roster because they happen to miss a portion of a season for injury) in the preseason this year, and there's enough money tied to Meachem and Royal for the next two years that they're not going to be given up on after only a season.
And this is of course ignoring that both our starting CB's are FA's in 2013, or that both of them have been sufficiently torched this season. If you're making a "need" based pick for the Chargers and picking any positions that are either CB or across the OL, you very obviously haven't been doing any kind of tape-study.

The Colts run a 3-4. Montgomery would not be a DE, so he wouldnt be help on the DL as you say. You have WR as a need but don't list SS or OLB, which are much bigger needs. We won't go WR unless they're great value. Good pick anyway.

I don't really like drafting a RB in the first round, especially one with the injury and workload concerns that surround Lattimore. I think Bjoern Werner would be a better pick.

Nice presentation.
Okafor doesn't fit at DE for the Steelers. Too small but he could possibly switch to OLB though. However, if safeties Eric Reid or T.J. McDonald are there I prefer them instead or CB Amerson. They need help in the secondary considering how old they are there.

Pre-marriage doubts signal unhappy unions, divorce
Those wedding cold feet are a real signal of trouble ahead, according to a study that shows premarital jitters can predict splitsville later.
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, say their four-year study of 464 newlyweds finds those with uncertainty were less satisfied with their marriages, and women with doubts who took the plunge anyway were 2.5 times more likely to divorce.
"The question was 'Were you ever uncertain or hesitant about getting married?' Just a yes or no. The simplicity is great because it's such a basic question," says lead author Justin Lavner, a UCLA researcher. "But unfortunately, it doesn't allow us to say if it's doubts about the partner or doubts about marriage in general. Doubts specific to the relationship or partner are generally worse than doubts about marriage in general."
Among the newlyweds, 47% of husbands and 38% of wives said they had doubts. The study, published online in the Journal of Family Psychology, found that about 10% more husbands than wives had doubts, but the women's inklings of trouble better predicted divorce.
Among women, 19% who reported pre-wedding doubts were divorced four years later, compared with 8% who didn't report having doubts. For husbands, 14% who reported doubts were divorced four years later, compared with 9% who didn't report doubts.
"Very often in describing problems that exist in the marriage, they say something to the effect of 'I saw all the signs before we got married and I ignored them,'" says Susan Winters, a family law attorney in Short Hills, N.J.
New York attorney Lubov Stark, who has practiced family law for 17 years, says not everyone has conscious doubts.
"A lot of people have jitters -- a subconscious feeling that something may be off here," she says. "But they are swept away with the whole experience of getting engaged and getting married. Everybody wants to believe it will work out."
The study also found that in 36% of couples, neither partner had doubts.
And Lavner warns, not having doubts doesn't mean the marriages survived. Among those in which neither expressed doubts, 6% still got divorced.

Super Bowl XLVIII Ticket Prices Dropping Drastically
While there are numerous reports of even the cheapest Super Bowl XLVIII tickets going for around $2,500 a seat, the New York Post is reporting that seats to this Sunday's big game could end up being the cheapest since 2002.
According to the Post, ticket prices took a nose dive over the weekend with the cheapest seats going for around $1,150. In addition, more than 18,000 tickets are reportedly still available on the secondary market. It seems as though the New York metropolitan area just isn't garnering as much interest as expected. Another thing to take into consideration is the fact that fans for the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks may not be able to handle the travel demands to the East Coast.
Despite the drop in the ticket prices, they still seem outlandish for most. Seats with access to heat are reportedly going for as much as $7,000. Just how low do the ticket prices have to get in order to pique your interest?

In the weeks after the mortgage settlement was announced by the Federal Government, I waited under baited breath to the see it in its entirety.
Almost every week I read a different report stating the documents to finalize the settlement were about to be filed in court.
And as each reported deadline came and went, I grew more and more skeptical.
Would the banks manage to sneak some last minute releases in? Would the lofty figures promised to beleaguered borrowers be diminished?
The good news, now that documents have been completed and released to the public, is that the answer to both questions is a sound no.
The banks are not getting any get-out-of-jail-free cards, claims against MERS and the securitization process are still very much on the table.
On the other hand, did I learn anything new about the massive frauds perpetrated by the banks? Not really.
There are pages listing what the government has now labeled as "Unfair, Deceptive, and Unlawful Loan Practices".
The settlement does say that the banks violated federal laws, that they wrongfully denied modification applications, and overcharged for 'forced place insurance, among other misdeeds.
It even finally acknowledges that the banks engaged in robosigning.
But these are things that my clients and I have long known.
If you've read the Wall Street Journal, or the New York Times, or any thorough news story on the housing crisis, there's little in the mortgage settlement's pages that will surprise you.
And that's thoroughly disappointing. What the government has presented to the public is a complete white-washing of the robosigining and "fraudclosure" scandal. It acknowledges that the banks committed certain indiscretions yes, but I couldn't find one concrete example, not one thorough examination of how it occurred.

Perceptions and Narratives of Security: The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps and the Iran-Iraq War
This paper explores the importance of the Iran-Iraq War for the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) by analyzing how the Guards have used the war to present their positions on Iran's national security. It examines how the Revolutionary Guards have constructed a particular history or narrative of the war based on their experiences in and understandings of the conflict. Drawing on IRGC publications and statements by Revolutionary Guards commanders, it argues that the IRGC narrative emphasizes key features about Iran's experience in the war and presents a set of lessons to guide Iran's national security policies.
In both the IRGC narrative and in the public discourse of the Islamic Republic, the war is given two specific appellations: the Imposed War, because it was imposed on Iran by Iraq; and the Holy or Sacred Defense, because Iran was defending not just the country but the Islamic regime and even Islam itself. The IRGC narrative is shaped by several key features that shed light on how the Revolutionary Guards view Iran's security. These features include the role of the West in the war, the continuation of the Holy Defense after the formal end of the Iran-Iraq War, and the expansion of Iranian power as a result of the war.
According to IRGC leaders, the experience and results of the Iran-Iraq War hold important lessons for Iran's security. Together, the lessons form a national security doctrine that combines ideological and military components. These components include a culture of Holy Defense, the idea that religious devotion and ideological cohesion play an essential role in guaranteeing Iran's security; unity under the Supreme Leader; independent deterrence, which is meant to ensure that Iran can independently maintain a deterrent capability to prevent future attacks; faith and firepower, which represents the interconnectedness of the religious and military aspects of Holy Defense; aggressive defense, which is the idea that Iran must pursue its enemies to ensure their defeat; and the exportation of the Holy Defense to other nations in the hope that those outside Iran will understand the Iranian experience in the Iran-Iraq War.

WATCH: Justin Bieber fan rushes stage & hugs singer at Brazil concert
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
A shirtless male fan rushed the stage at Justin Bieber's concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Sunday night.
The pop star was performing "Girlfriend" when the man suddenly ran from the back of the stage and hugged the singer.
Bieber's backup dancers quickly pulled the fan off the performer, and then security ushered the man off stage.
The star laughingly told the crowd, "I thought that was an extra dancer!"
Bieber has had an eventful time touring in Brazil.
On Saturday, the singer walked off stage after being hit with a bottle during his concert in Sao Paulo.
