As to Neil's instructions, i did not bridge the wifi card with the lan
i created a seperate ip for the wifi interface (192.168.11.1) and added
in a firewall rule similar to the LAN, but specified WIFI as the
interface and WIFI subnet.
next i thouhht, lets put another wifi card on this. I got it to do the
same thing under a seperate subnet, and route, as well as bridging the
2nd wifi interface to the 1st, and using its ip/dhcp/route.
1 thing i could not do was get cap portal to work with both wifi cards,
as you cant do cap port while an interface is bridged, and i cant do
captive portal on 2 seperate interfaces.
anyone know of a workaround?

Mr. Fluffles - Poem by Vasto Grom
Mr. Fluffles, the pink chinchilla
No more biting, just stop it will ya?
I know you hate the fact that you're pink
But I can not help what it is that I think
I know you're just a vivid hallucination
And the fact that you're pink doesn't offer a lot of intimidation
But when your 40 brothers and sisters all sit there staring at me
I have to admit its kinda creepy
Mr. Fluffles, just so soft and fluffy
But when you get to biting you're just not cuddly
Why can't you just let me be
You're not Kato so why do ambush me
You just look so cute when you go to sleep
Curled up in a fuzzy ball, counting sheep
So now we go to sleep and let our problems float away
But I know you'll get to biting this next up coming day
Cause you're Mr. Fluffles, the pink chinchilla
You'd probably stop the biting if I colored you vanilla
But I just can't help it, why can't you see
Ow! Mr. Fluffles no more biting me

SPRING HILL — Local business leaders and educators met at Explorer K8 school recently for a power breakfast. The goal: to improve the school.
The Feb. 26 event, coordinated by parents Robert Goldner and Deanna Carrasquello and assistant principal Vivian Sweeney, was called the Business Partners in Excellence Summit.
Those in attendance reviewed a list of items on a wall display and were asked to choose which ones they could take on to enhance education.
Principal Dominick Ferello also hopes for nontangible donations, like time for mentoring.
Goldner and Carrasquello called the networking among community members the Community Partnership Association of Explorer K8. Ferello said the breakfast will be a monthly event.
Ferello was delighted by the turnout, which included Babies and Beyond, Chick-fil-A, Chili's, Hess Express, Home Depot, Joni Industries, Marco's Pizza, McDonald's, Paesano Italian Bakery, Wal-Mart/Sam's Club, Sherwood Florist, Spring Hill Lanes, the St. Petersburg Times, SunTrust Banks, Warlick Hall Engineering Inc., Truly Nolan, YMCA, Better Business Bureau, HEART Literacy, Keller Williams Realty, pediatrician Dr. Russell Bain, Sweetbay Supermarkets and Mattress Giant.
"I'm impressed with what we've been able to build in the six months here," Ferello said. "The school really bonded with the community."
Also at Explorer K8, Ferello said, local businesses support the school by providing coupons to reward teachers and staff.
Every Friday the school has a drawing to award the donations. The gift certificates include dinner from Ercalano's Italian Restaurant, coupons from Dunkin' Donuts and haircuts from Steve's Hair Salon.
Explorer staff also have the option of neck and back massages by a massage therapist provided by Spring Hill physician Brian Kroll.
Ferello said donating businesses will benefit for their generosity. They will be advertised and recognized. He said the school plans to send home booklets with all the names and businesses that have supported the school.
"We've got some real strong partners," Ferello said.

Promise rings are in trend these days. They can be worn as friendship rings or as pre-engagement rings as they signify the purity of love between two lovers. A promise ring signifies intense bond between a guy and a girl. However, selecting promise rings for men could turn out to be a difficult task, but with some insights into your guy's taste this task can be made a lot easier. What really matters is; the kind of ring you are selecting should reflect his personal style and with regards to this; there are a number of options available in a range of styles.

Volunteers make up a sizeable part of the great things going on at Silver Hill. Some of them are alumni who have successfully completed our programs; others come to us from the community. All of them find rewards in giving their time. In addition to helping our patients and staff, they help themselves in any of a number of ways. Depending on your own interests and experience, you could:
• Explore a new career
• Enhance your knowledge
• Strengthen your recovery
• Use your skills and experiences to benefit others
• Share a hobby
• Expand your personal and professional network
Our patients benefit in so many ways from the time, talents and experiences of volunteers. Those who are personally in recovery from the conditions we treat are beacons of hope for our patients. Those who bring in a hobby to share (such as crafts, board games, writing, art, gardening and music) provide a welcome creative outlet, as well as a way to remain connected to the community. Volunteers who assist our staff or take a special project off their hands, free the staff to give their full attention to the functions that only they can perform. Those who offer comfort to families and patients during the admissions process make a difficult time just a little easier.
Whatever your reasons for volunteering and for any amount of time you have to give, we encourage you to contact us. The Volunteer Services Manager will work with you to create a meaningful and rewarding opportunity that meets your needs and ours. It's a paradox, but we know it's true: you will receive far more than you give.
All volunteers will be oriented to the hospital and its procedures and protocols for working in our facilities and with psychiatric and/or addicted patients. Learn more about becoming a Silver Hill volunteer.
To apply for a volunteer position, please complete the Volunteer Application. We look forward to hearing from you!
Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.
Volunteer opportunities are available in the following areas: (Please click on the opportunity to learn more)

Good morning.
The news continues to be dominated by the outrage over $165 million in bonuses for executives at the taxpayer-supported insurance giant AIG -- and in particular by word from CNN that Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., says he agreed to a suggestion from the Obama administration and amended language to the economic stimulus plan so that such bonuses could continue to be paid. The language gave Treasury the authority to review such bonuses and seek to have them returned, Dodd says. It wasn't aimed specifically at AIG, but at any firms that use "retention" bonuses.
The Associated Press reports that:
"An administration official said Treasury made Dodd's staff aware of the potential for litigation (if bonuses were banned, as had been proposed), but did not demand that the provision be removed from the final bill. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter in public."
The Wall Street Journal has more about Dodd, the AIG bonuses and the amended legislation.
President Obama is in California, where last evening he held a town hall meeting. He "touted his economic stimulus program in one of the states hit hardest by the economic recession," USA TODAY writes.
This morning, local time, Obama will tour the Edison Electric Vehicle Technical Center near Los Angeles. As USA TODAY's Chris Woodyard wrote earlier this week, Edison is "spending upwards of $5 million a year acquiring and maintaining (an) electric vehicle fleet, testing new plug-ins and researching battery capabilities."
Later today, the president will record an appearance on NBC-TV's Tonight Show with Jay Leno. It airs at 11:35 p.m. ET.
As for stories making headlines, they include:
-- The Washington Post -- Fed didn't tell Obama about AIG bonuses for months: "Federal Reserve officials knew for months about bonuses at American International Group but failed to tell the Obama administration, according to government and company officials, exposing problems in a relationship that is vital to addressing the financial crisis."
-- Time magazine -- But Fed told Treasury earlier than was previously said: "Although Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told congressional leaders on Tuesday that he learned of AIG's impending $160 million bonus payments to members of its troubled financial-products unit on March 10, sources tell Time that the New York Federal Reserve informed Treasury staff that the payments were imminent on Feb. 28. That is 10 days before Treasury staffers say they first learned 'full details' of the bonus plan, and three days before the administration launched a new $30 billion infusion of cash for AIG." Prior to becoming Treasury secretary, Geithner was president of the New York Fed.
-- The New York Times -- AIG outrage is testing Geithner: "Fair or not, questions about why (Treasury Secretary Timothy) Geithner did not know sooner about the AIG bonuses and act to stop them threaten to overwhelm his achievements and undermine Mr. Obama's overall economic agenda."
(Photo: Geithner watches as Obama answers questions Wednesday on the South Lawn of the White House. By Ron Edmonds of the AP.)
-- The Washington Times -- President arranged book deal just before taking office: "President Obama arranged in the days just before he took office to secure a $500,000 advance for a children's book project, a disclosure report shows. ... The advance is against royalties under a deal with Crown Publishing, a division of Random House. The project calls for an abridged version of his book Dreams From My Father for middle-school-aged children, according to the disclosure. A White House aide said that the deal had been in the works for weeks and that the publisher will abridge the book. The aide, speaking on a condition of anonymity, said the publisher will get half of the money while Mr. Obama will sign off on the final version."
-- Politico -- Obama is showing his sense of humor: As President Obama prepares for his appearance this evening on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Politico writes that "this is a president who tries hard to be funny. Judging by the audience reactions -- almost always sympathetic crowds, to be sure -- he is succeeding a reasonable percentage of the time. Nearly all of Obama's appearances these days include an attempt at presidential humor. This is not Borscht Belt material. He does not tell audiences to take the first lady -- please! But self-deprecating asides, wry one-liners and mildly sarcastic cracks about aides and rivals have emerged as a somewhat surprising part of Obama's rhetorical signature."
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has covered the White House for USA TODAY since 2005. His interests include history, politics, books, movies and college football -- not necessarily in that order. More about David

Do over.
No show this season is in more need of a chance to start again than Lost, which returns tonight after a three-month absence that did not make hearts grow fonder. What had once seemed like a good idea — a six-week, fall mini-season built around Jack, Sawyer and Kate's incarceration by The Others — turned out to be, if not disastrous, then vastly disappointing. It was like the TV version of the old restaurant joke: The episodes weren't very good, and the portions were too small.
SAWYER'S A DOLL: Check out the con man's collectible
Still, one of the great virtues of series TV is that it is always possible to correct course. And so Lost begins a run of 16 straight episodes with a new, later time slot and a renewed commitment to answer a few more island/myth questions. Best of all, tonight's return is designed to start moving the story off of The Others' island and back to a beached ensemble that has been much missed.
But not yet. First, Lost has to resolve its fall cliffhanger, which it does by returning to its action/adventure roots while exploring the pre-island history of Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell).
As Lost episodes go, it's a good outing, and had it aired, say, in October, viewers might have been very happy indeed. At this point, though, it probably doesn't move quickly enough to put that island in our rear-view mirrors. Even so, it does offer the promise that we will soon be, if not Other-free, at least Other-lite.
"Promise," of course, has always been the boon and the bane of Lost, with viewers constantly questioning whether the show can live up to the enormous promise of its first season and whether the central mystery promises more than it can deliver. Those questions in turn may explain why the reaction to the fall run seemed at times to be so out of scale.
Yes, the episodes were not Lost at its best — but no TV series is always at its best. We tend to overlook other shows' lapses because we don't view the episodes as a continuum. But all is cumulative on Lost, and every mistake makes fans worry that the show is headed in a direction they won't like — or worse, it's not headed in any direction at all.
Those fears, once they take hold, are hard to quiet, but there's no reason to succumb to them yet. Every slope is not slippery; every off-kilter episode is not a sign of collapse.
Lost is back. If the producers re-do and we relax, we may just get this beach party going again.

The UK's top 20 colourists are profiled in the March issue of Televisual, with MPC's Jean-Clement Soret landing the top spot for the fourth year in succession. Colourists from a wide range of facilities are featured in the article, with the 20 colourists split into two lists – the top 10 commercials colourists and the top 10 colourists working predominantly in Film and TV.
The results are based on Televisual's annual survey of grading artists, producers and colourist awards.
The hugely positive impact a colourist can have on a production's look and feel puts them in high demand. The best colourists, who can create looks that catapult productions to a whole new stratosphere, while diplomatically taking on board the demands and desires of a whole host of often difficult to please clients, are gold-dust to post houses.
Over the pages of the feature are profiles of more than 20 colourists at the top of their game. The profiles are based on the opinions of fellow colourists, producers, grading kit makers and the judges of the handful of industry awards aimed at grading artists.
Here are the two top 10 lists, as revealed in the March issue of Televisual, along with a quote from a peer or client highlighting why they are top of their game. For the full five-page report, including full write-ups of each of the colourists in the top 20, see this month's printed issue of Televisual magazine.
Congratulations to the following colourists:
1. Jean-Clement Soret, MPC: "Jean-Clement is an über talented colourist who isn't afraid to use strong visuals and create unique colour palettes on such a wide spectrum of genres."
2. Paul Harrison, Finish: "He's started a brilliant department at Finish, and has produced some lovely grades for some top UK directors."
3. Seamus O'Kane, The Mill: "Year after year his work moves to the next level. His credit list is endless – he is one of the best commercials colourists out there."
4 =. Simon Bourne, Framestore: "I love his work with Dan Wolfe – he's been consistently good for a few years."
4. = Aubrey Woodiwiss, The Mill: "He makes "unconventional grades that are beautiful."
6. Ben Rogers, Glassworks: "He's an excellent grader with more enthusiasm than you could shake a stick at."
7. George K, MPC: "George has the fantastic ability to push the picture beyond perfection and his personality is as great as the work he produces."
8. Simone Grattarola, Rushes: "Simone's body of work has been really strong with some visually stunning pieces."
9. Mick Vincent, The Mill: "Mick combines unique grading talent with a strong engineering background to be the ideal colourist."
10. Mark Horrobin, Smoke & Mirrors: "He has a good range of grading techniques."
1. Jet Omoshebi, Deluxe 142: "Whenever I check the end credits after watching a particularly eye-catching grade, it's invariably her name that appears."
2. Aidan Farrell, The Farm Group: "He's still consistently producing unique and striking grades."
3. Adam Glasman, Company 3: "He is consistently turning out top-end, stunning feature films."
4. Rob Pizzey, Company 3: "A great talent, who constantly delivers top quality work."
5. Thomas Urbye, The Look: "His grading accentuated the shows with some well-considered creative looks that were faithful to the concept and photography."
6=. Gareth Spensley, Molinare: "Gareth is a versatile colourist with an abundance of flair."
6=. Asa Shoul, Molinare: "Asa has a passion for film that informs all his visual work, and is always exploring new ways of presenting photography."
8=. Adam Inglis, Freelancer: "Adam's style always jumps off the screen and his understanding of his clients runs deep."
8=. Kevin Horsewood, Prime Focus: "He always produces perfect results with seemingly zero effort."
10=. Lee Clapison, Lipsync: "A superb up-and-coming talent."
10=. Paul Staples, Deluxe 142: "Gritty urban grading."
10=. Vince Narduzzo, Narduzzo Too: "He's always sympathetic to the genre and narrative of each show he works on."
10=. Ross Baker, Halo Post: "He consistently hits the mark across a variety of genres."

Ezekiel Chapter 30
Ezekiel 30:1 "The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,"
Every time we see this statement, it means there has been a break from the previous prophecy, and a new prophecy begins.
In this oracle that runs from verses 1-19, is the one of the seven that is
undated and is a general prediction that
Ezekiel 30:2 "Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!"
Woe is speaking to the wicked. Woe is expressing grief. God tells Ezekiel to tell the people that judgment is coming upon them.
One of the best examples of a woe is in Revelation 8:13 "And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitors of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!"
"Woe" is speaking a judgment of God upon man.
Ezekiel 30:3 "For the day [is] near, even the day of the LORD [is] near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen."
The "day of the LORD" is speaking of a day of divine judgment from God. The day
of chastisement from God is always a cloudy day. It seems the sun will never
shine again. God has judged His precious
This is a common expression for God's judgment, especially His future judgment.
God's judgment "day" for
Ezekiel 30:4 "And the sword shall come
We do know that Nebuchadnezzar came against
Some did die by the sword, but I believe this is speaking, also, of a coming
day, when this great calamity will take over
Ezekiel 30:5 "
In chapter 27 we studied about "the men of war" in verses 10-11. Countries who
had provided mercenary soldiers for the Phoenician army to defend
"Chub" is an unidentified nation, along with the "mingled people" and "men of
the lands." These also may have been mercenaries in
Ezekiel 30:6 "Thus saith the LORD; They
also that uphold
From the
Ezekiel 30:7 "And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries [that are] desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities [that are] wasted."
This speaks of complete judgment of God on the evil in this land, and all others. This is speaking of widespread desolation at the hand of God. This type of desolation is taking place in much of the world today. Christianity has suffered greatly in the African nations, because of the Muslim religion.
Ezekiel 30:8 "And they shall know that I
[am] the LORD, when I have set a fire in
When the LORD moves, everyone will know it. This could very well be speaking of the fire of God sweeping through these lands in an act of converting some of the people to Christianity. All worldliness will be gone. Everyone will know this is from God.
Ezekiel 30:9 "In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh."
Apparently the Egyptians will flee the horrors to
This speaks of carelessness in general, and in carelessness of
Ezekiel 30:10-11 "Thus saith the Lord
GOD; I will also make the multitude of
The prophecy of the destruction of
Ezekiel 30:12 "And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken [it]."
We are not told when this will come to pass, just that it will. The way we know for sure that it will, is because God has spoken it. This type of overwhelming judgment from God would bring terror to the heart of the entire world.
Everybody that I know, myself included, who has been a student of prophecy, has thought that the nineteenth chapter of Isaiah wasn't going to come to pass until the final war that closed this age, the war described in Ezekiel chapter 38-39. But it has sneaked up on us and happened in a way that none of us anticipated. It isn't from warfare at all, but from what was intended as a most peaceful happening.
For example Ezekiel 29:10-11 warns, "Behold, I am against thee, and against thy
rivers, and I will make the
We know this didn't happen to
It no doubt refers to conditions following the defeat of this twenty-fifth dynasty. This was either by the Assyrians under Esarhaddon, about 670 B.C., or possibly by the Persians under Cambyses in 525 B.C. or under Xerxes in 483 B.C. There are some other prophecies that refer to a later, greater event that has never been fulfilled. Isaiah chapter 19 is entirely devoted to this prophecy.
Ezekiel 30:13 "Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause [their] images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt."
Even to this day, there is a "prince" in
Ezekiel 30:14 "And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No."
Pathros is where the Jews had settled, when they ran from

upon Sin, the strength of
Sin was a city in
Since "No" and "Sin" were at opposite borders of

It appears, that most of the sieges took quite a long time and that each day, there would be a new terror.
Ezekiel 30:17 "The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and these [cities] shall go into captivity."
The word "Aven" means nothingness. It was an idol city. They worshipped the sun.
Pi-beseth was the house of the goddess Bast. They worshipped the false goddess
Dianna. This city was on the Northeast branch of the
We can easily see why these two should perish.

day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of

Just as God had proved to the Egyptians, in the time of Moses who He is, He proves it, again, here.
Ezekiel 30:20 "And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the seventh [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
We see a new prophecy beginning here. This eleventh year is 587 B.C.
Ezekiel 30:21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
God figuratively depicted His act of taking power from
Ezekiel 30:22 "Therefore thus saith the
Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against Pharaoh king of
The arm of Pharaoh shows his power. This is just saying, he has lost his power to protect his own people. He will be rendered helpless to fight back. It is God who has broken his arms of strength. That power will not come back.
"Break his arms": Both the defeat of Pharaoh Hophra and the earlier defeat of
Pharaoh Necho at
Ezekiel 30:23 "And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries."
It is God who raises one nation, and brings another down. It is God that allowed
Satan to have some power over the earth. It was God the Son who defeated Satan
on the cross. This scattering, here, is like the scattering of
Ezekiel 30:24 "And I will strengthen the
arms of the king of
The most important thing to realize in this would be that God strengthens whom He will, and He weakens whom He will. It is God's creation to do with as He wishes. God has struck the Pharaoh of Egypt {world} helpless.
Ezekiel 30:25 "But I will strengthen the
arms of the king of
This power, or this sword, does not belong to the king of
Ezekiel 30:26 "And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD."
The Egyptians had been actually fighting against God. This speaks of God dispersing them, so they will know that He is the LORD. His prophecy will be fulfilled, whether for then or now, because He is the LORD. Unfortunately people often don't learn that until judgment falls.
I would like to state one more time that a prophet is not limited to speaking of the near future with his prophecies. He speaks the message God gives him.
God does not think of time in the same way you and I do. A thousand years is but a short time to him, sometimes He calls it a day.
2 Peter 3:8 "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
Some of these prophecies have never been fulfilled, so we know that they are for the future. It is not our position to question any Scripture. We know that every Word in the Bible is true. We may not know exactly when it will happen, but we know it will happen.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/6/2012 (1861 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Brazilian agricultural equipment manufacturer has chosen Winnipeg to base its North American sales and service operations.
Motomco Group of Brazil, an international manufacturer of state-of-the-art grain quality-control products is opening a Canadian operation, called Canada Moisture Analyzers, in Winnipeg this summer. The Winnipeg shop will handle sales and service for its products which measure moisture content in grains.
The announcement was made today by Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger in Sao Paulo, Brazil during a Manitoba trade mission there.
The Brazilian company has been working with CentrePort Canada and is expected to set up an office with about six to seven employees in the King Edward and Border streets area.

Corgi Tee With Swarovski Crystals
If there's two things I love more than almost anything (coffee doesn't count, I love it entirely too much, so it has an unfair advantage), it is sparkles and puppies! Honestly, it doesn't get much better than that. So when I found a Corgi tee-shirt where the Corgi was actually made up of pretty and petite Swarovski crystals, I decided to share it with you instead of just making a high-pitched 'eeeek!' sound at my desk by myself :) They have quite a few different breeds available, but there's something extra precious about the Corgi.

Super Dishes!
Something tells me he's not the last kid to have butterfingers come dish-washing time. An obvious solution is to swap the porcelain plates for shatterproof plastic. Even better, let your kids pick their own–like one of the whimsical French Bull plates at Loft Party. Moms will like the tough-as-nails melamine, while kids will like the mod monsters or ultra-tough superheroes, like the cool POW guy shown here.They're also a good purchase if you're married to a Greek. –Liz

Sit back, relax and imagine warm breezes stroking of your skin as we take you on a tour of the most exclusive resort along the Bulgarian coastline:
Strategically located around the largest and most prestigious yacht port in Bulgaria "Marina Dinevi" you will find Dinevi Resort. The resort consists of so far 40 exclusive complexes, each of which has its own beautiful and unique architecture.
From none of the complexes are more than a few hundred meters to the marina and the Caribbean beach. The majority of the apartments have a magnificent, unobstructed view of the Black Sea, the mountains, Sunny Beach and the old town of Nessebar.
Dinevi Resort is situated in the town of St. Vlas, where you can enjoy beautiful beaches, many restaurants and attractions.
St. Vlas is located just one and a half kilometers away from the resort Sunny beach and seven kilometers from the town of Nessebar. Precisely, this is the reason, which makes it the perfect resting place, if you don't want to be in the noisy non-sleeping Sunny Beach and at the same time you are close to all events.
For your convenience, there are route taxis and minibuses, which can reach any desired point for several minutes.
Purchasing a property in this exclusive area is considered as one of the best reasonable investments all over the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.
Every owner of apartment in Dinevi Resort has the opportunity to use all the facilities and swimming pools in each other complex in Dinevi Resort.

DARLENE PEREZ, Administrator
Established - 1917
Statutory authority – CGS Chapter 167a
Hartford, CT 06106
Average number of full-time employees - 23
Recurring operating expenses - $1,950,266
Appropriation expended for Funding Normal Cost
and Past Service Liabilities and Health Services -
Organizational structure - Administrative Division, Retirement Division, Accounting Division, Information Systems Division.
The mission of the Teachers' Retirement Board is to obtain adequate funding to pay all benefits and to effectively administer the retirement system; to protect and administer the statutory rights and benefits of members of the State Teachers' Retirement System, and to provide pre/post retirement services.
Statutory Responsibility
The provisions of the Teachers' Retirement System are contained in Chapter 167a of the Connecticut General Statutes to provide retirement, disability, survivorship and health insurance benefits for Connecticut public school teachers and their beneficiaries. The benefits of the program are funded by employee contributions, state appropriations and investment income. The program is intended to provide financial security at retirement for career Connecticut public school teachers, to replace lost income as a result of disability and to provide benefits to survivors of teachers who die while actively teaching. Members of the system are informed of their rights, benefits and responsibilities to claim benefits by receiving annual statements of benefits, newsletters and topical publications. In addition, individual counseling programs are available, on a limited basis, to assist members in the retirement planning process.
The agency is committed to providing each member with the necessary information to make intelligent and informed decisions regarding disability, retirement, survivor, and health benefits. Each non-retired member receives an Annual Statement of Benefits that provides a complete record of their credited service and earnings history. In addition, the agency publishes a newsletter for both active and retired members, The TRiB, and a variety of topical publications and brochures to assist in dealing with retirement issues. The agency continues to improve and expand its website www.state.ct.us/trb to provide better and timely access to information to members.
Organizational changes were identified and executed to help the agency through the recovery process of losing many staff members to layoffs and the early retirement incentive program. The agency fulfilled its statutory requirement of issuing retirement benefits to all current and newly retired members in a timely manner. The retirement benefits that the agency initiates are based on current salary information, therefore the initial benefits are accurate at time of initiation.
The agency saved thousand of dollars by posting its newsletter on the website rather than mailing it to the home of each member. Additional savings in print, postage and staff costs were realized by posting various forms and bulletins on the web for members to download, print and utilize. The agency has found the website to be an invaluable source of savings as changes to forms and bulletins can be done on an "as needed" basis.
Strategic Planning
The agency took the opportunity to perform a workflow and workload analysis deemed necessary due to layoffs and an early retirement incentive program which resulted in the loss of many senior staff members with a great number of years of institutional knowledge. There are a growing number of "baby boomers" approaching retirement age who are in need of specific financial retirement information. The goal of the agency is to restore and maintain an adequate workforce to keep up with the growing demands.
Plans continue on the goal of making the agency website interactive. The agency expects to receive a budget for this project within the next two years. This project will allow members to gain access to their account information and initiate changes.
It is the policy of the Teachers' Retirement Board to assure non-discrimination and affirmative action in all phases of the employment process including recruitment, application, interviewing, selection and testing, appointing, assigning, orientation, training, evaluation, promotion and counseling without regard to race, color, religious creed, sex, age, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, learning disability, marital status, sexual orientation, present or past history of mental disorder, mental retardation, political beliefs or criminal record.
To carry out this policy, the Board has undertaken positive action to overcome the present effects of past discrimination and to achieve, in a meaningful way, the full and fair utilization of women and minorities in the work force. It has developed a program of affirmative action and equal employment opportunity as an immediate and necessary objective that it pledges to aggressively pursue in every phase of its personnel policies. The Board shall continue to provide its services in a fair and impartial manner.

RE: Know the Fielding Positions on the Cricket Field
Important fielding Positions In Cricket
With the compulsion of a wicket-keeper and a bowler, there are 9 fielders available to set the field for a captain. In cricket, a good captain is one who can set the fielders in the perfect positions according to the situation of the game. Here are the different fielding positions in cricket and when they are used by a fielding captain in general.
Slip position: Slip is the position next to that of wicket-keeper. A slip position is used in cricket if the team is in need of wicket of the opposition. There can be more than one slip. If the team needs a wicket desperately then, a captain places more slip positions. Cricket has moved from larger formats of test cricket to smaller formats-T20 cricket. And, the number of slip has also decreased in the same order.
Point fielder: Point is one of the most crucial fielding position where the probability of the coming ball is maximum. Thus, best fielder in the team is placed in the point position.
Third Man: In modern cricket, playing ball in the direction of third man position has been the general. Fielder with good arm (generally fast bowlers) are placed in third man. As game of cricket has become more aggressive, trend to remove third man position and setting Fly slip position also has been widely used.
Fly slip: Fly slip position is set generally in defensive field set. Third man or fly slip is generally set 99 of 100 times in limited over cricket as field set is defensive in these formats.
Backward point: Fielder in backward point position is set in defensive field set to protect boundaries. Generally, point fielder is set in attacking field set and backward point is used in defensive field set and sometimes both fielder are set at the same time, if the batsman is good at playing in point direction.
Cover / Extra cover: Cover fielder and extra cover is usually placed in most of times in any format of attacking field set and good fielder are placed in the cover region.
Deep cover / Deep Extra cover: Deep cover and deep extra cover are placed to protect the boundaries from lofted shot over cover and extra cover respectively.
Silly point, silly mid off and short leg: These are the closed fielding position in the cricket field and these positions are only used with motive just of take wickets of opposition. These positions are set in the spin bowling and very rarely in the fast bowlers bowling.
Mid off and log off: Mid off and log off is the fairly straight fielding position (only little bit off side) inside the 30 yard circle and the boundary position respectively. Mid off is used in attacking field set where as log off in defensive and one of the either field set is positioned in most of the cases.
Square leg and deep square leg: Either square leg or deep square leg is positioned in most of the cases. Square leg and deep square leg are in the same line from the batsman batting point. Only difference between these position is one is set in between 30 yard circle for attacking field set and another in boundary to protect four and sixes.
Fine Leg / Short fine leg: Either a fine leg or short fine leg is positioned in 99 out of 100 times in the game of cricket. With the evolution of T20 cricket, short fine leg instead of fine leg has been used to set the defensive field according to wish of captain as there can only be maximum of 5 fielders in the boundary.
Mid on And Log on: Mid on and Log on are fairly straight position of fielding position except they are little on leg side. Mid on and Log on are mostly in active when the bowlers bowl straight ball.
Attacking field Set
There is no any rule that, what type of fielding position should be considered as attacking field set. If a team is in need of wicket then, the most of fielder are placed closed to batsman with 2 or more slip, this type of field setting is renowned as the attacking field set. As the game of cricket has moved from 5 days long test cricket to 3 hours T20 cricket, the field setting has been less attacking to control the run rate. Generally, fielders inside 30 yard circle(small circle) is considered as attacking fielding positions.
Defensive Field Set
Defensive field set is used to control the flow of runs. There can be maximum of 5 fielders in the boundary region which is generally used in defensive field setting. As game modernize from test to T20 cricket the, field set has been more defensive and defensive.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
I was fighting a weight machine in the Hollywood Bally's when my cell phone vibrated. It was a man from a big-chain tire shop, but not the guy I'd left my car with 20 minutes ago. That first guy, Joe, had been all about the tires, which made sense, since I had left my car there to replace my original set. But this other man interrupted my workout in a confidential voice to speak about something that was far more important, even, than the lifetime side-puncture warranty Joe had tried to sell me — my front struts. These, he insisted, were only minutes away from disintegrating. The man assured me he could replace them — for around $1,100 — even as I continued my struggle with the Abdominal Snowman. The choice was mine — he was only concerned about my safety. He let that last part sink in, the way a kidnapper does during that all-important first call: We've got your Jetta, Mr. Mikulan. What you do is up to you. I just wouldn't want anything to ... happen to your car.
I never make snap decisions involving more than $50. The struts would have to wait, I said, until next payday — my standard leave-me-alone line. My caller offered a line of credit. Interest free. He was — had he mentioned this? — thinking of my safety. Eventually the man realized I wasn't going to cough up more money today and told me my car was ready for pickup.
Only chumps heed the warnings of auto-repair chain outlets, shops that sucker you in with a $25 oil-change coupon, then suddenly find you need a new transmission. But they have your car, and their skilled hostage negotiators can make even the most far-fetched doom forecast sound credible. Six years ago, this company's chief rival in the tire-chain world gave my car an equally bad bill of health (also remediable for $1,100), when I arrived to pick it up after a $25 oil change.
Chain outlets are a reasonable repair alternative to dealerships and are often convenient to your work or gym. But nothing beats a local mechanic, preferably one within walking distance of your home. Donny Wong's Far East Auto Service occupies a tiny, grimy structure near Dodger Stadium and has been a godsend to budget-minded car owners in the area since the 1980s. Donny looked over my car's struts and found the chain shop's warnings groundless — as he had the rival's alarms six years before. Time and time again, I've brought my cars to Far East, convinced by a chain mechanic or by my own paranoia that something was expensively wrong, only to have Donny work some folk magic and fix it for a fraction of the cost — sometimes for free.
People love Donny, a native of Vietnam, because over the years he gets to know your car and develops an empathy for it as though it were one of your kids. He'll excitedly show you the carbon buildup on every spark plug he replaces and point out exactly where a fan belt is wearing down. He doesn't need to look up your old work orders on a computer to remember your car's moods and tics — they're all in his head. Donny's meticulous attention comes at a price, though: If you let changing your car's oil slide for too long, he's all over you like a traffic cop — or your kid's dentist.—Steven Mikulan
Hardcore hikers and backpackers typically go to two places for expedition equipment: REI or Adventure 16. REI's stuff tends to be less expensive, but Adventure 16, particularly the larger West Los Angeles location, is the place to go if you want to talk to someone who really knows a Marmot sleeping bag from a North Face. And the last thing you want is to buy a $300 backpack and realize that it's not fitted correctly when you're in hour one of a 12-hour hike. Knowing how to properly fit a pack is the benchmark for a camping-supply salesperson.
"People get their packs refitted here after going to other stores," says Greg, a massively yoked young man who works at the West L.A. store. He can't count the number of times he's had to remeasure people's torsos after they'd been improperly fitted by the competition. Greg, whose home town in Montana manufactures the bear-repellent spray you see on the shelves, believes he does the most outside sports of all the employees — kayaking, mountain climbing, rafting, spelunking, you name it. Though there are, no doubt, colleagues who would take him to task for saying that; some employees have worked at A16 for more than 25 years, mainly because they love the adventure lifestyle and feed off the energy of the customers and their fellow staffers. Plus, it's a really good pickup spot for cute, outdoorsy girls and guys who've climbed K2.
The guts of the store are the backpacks, tents and hydration packs. But there is something for everyone, from birder journals and pine incense you burn in holders shaped like little log cabins to pristine, unfolded U.S. Geological Society topographical maps. Just being inside the store makes you want to go ford a river or walk the Appalachian Trail or something, anything, you know, outside. You can rent trekking poles, sleeping bags, tents and even bear canisters (for stashing food in — the idea being that the bear gets tired of trying to pry open the canister and leaves in a frustrated huff).
The sheer quantity of stuff to buy and learn can be overwhelming. What does the Vitalyte electrolye-replacement solution taste like? Which do you have to worry more about while hiking in the San Gabriel Mountains, bears or mountain lions? What is the tradeoff between price, comfort and lightness in the Osprey technical backpack? Chances are, someone at A16 can wax poetic on any of those subjects, and countless others. Or, to quote that Disneyfied outdoorswoman Pocahontas, "You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew."—Gendy Alimurung
It's a music retail ghost town, yes. We don't need to be reminded. Those were our jobs, and our expense accounts, and our backstage passes, that vanished along with the neighborhood record stores. Gone are Aron's, Sea Level and Tower, ashes to ashes, funk to funky. Last year the Virgin on Sunset bit the dust. It adds up, you know? Therefore: Amoeba of our heart. Yes, some have grumbled that the arrival of Amoeba nearly seven years ago was the big, brass nail that sealed the L.A. retail coffin because it sucked up so much business that our littler compadres couldn't possibly compete. But Amoeba drew the freaks because Amoeba knows its shit, and stocks it, and recommends it, and plays it. Walk in and it looks like one big mess. Start spending time there, though, and you begin to see the order, and realize that Amoeba's not one big-ass store but at least eight (nine? 10? 11?) little stores. A man could get lost in its international section. Not just the Best of Ethiopiques, but all 24 volumes. Not just Brazilian classics, but Living Is Hard: West African Music in Britain, 1927-1929 (some of the most inspiring music you'll ever hear, btw). A dance shop with Villalobos white labels; a thick house section, ditto the hip-hop stacks. A punk shop. Classical and opera. Oh, the reggae vinyl, and the rock vinyl! The best soundtrack store in the country. And upstairs! Upstairs the DVDs! Don't get us started. A whole other celebration. It's downstairs we honor here. Amoeba: flip flip flip, snag, examine, caress, yoink!, play, bond, dance, fuck, nap, repeat.—Randall Roberts
Wendy Yao, local artist and den mother of L.A.'s burgeoning Chinatown scene, curates her store, Ooga Booga, with all the thought and precision of a carefully selected mixtape made for a longtime friend. Clothes and bags mingle with prints, books, zines and one-of-a-kind items. Sometimes there are actual mixtapes for sale from the likes of K Records impresario Calvin Johnson. The art openings and parties are the stuff of local legend, attracting musicians from the Smell and beyond who attempt to impress Ooga Booga's adorable resident cat with their grooves.—Molly Lambert
Everyone has their own favorite neighborhood thrift store, the name and location of which they guard with the close-lipped fervor of Allied operatives keeping state secrets from the Nazis. Each store specializes in merchandise subject to the individual whims of its proprietor. Aardvark's Odd Ark has long been the place to go for retro dresses, vintage skirts and plain, white button-up and pastel, ruffle-front prom tuxedo shirts. Jet Rag on La Brea Boulevard is alternately scorned and worshipped for its dense collection of overpriced, costume-y Jackie O. dresses and patterned, pointy-collared polyester '70s shirts. The Goodwill and Salvation Army stores are hit or miss, depending on the location and season. Some people swear by the clean but relatively expensive Council Thrift stores, run by the National Council of Jewish Women. Council Thrifts focus on used designer apparel and accessories. At the West L.A. locations, which include a brand-spanking-new one on Santa Monica Boulevard, it's not out of the question to spot a pair of Blahniks for 40 bucks, a Coach purse for a hundred.
Furniture-wise, Pepe's Thrifty Shop in Culver City is a tiny Dickensian vintage oasis. Barely bigger than a studio apartment, cane chairs and midcentury nightstands pile here atop antique credenzas, crowned by hanging chandeliers and sconces. You have to scoot sideways down the single looping aisle and be ready to pounce upon a desired item: Stuff here is value priced and moves fast.
The Lincoln Heights location of St. Vincent de Paul, however, is a different beast entirely. The Costco of thrift shops, it is all these stores rolled into one. Friendships have broken up over sharing the location of this no-longer-hidden spot. It's a sprawling, workmanlike place, 90,000 square feet, packed to the rafters, where on Sundays Mexican families shop for hours after church. You could furnish an entire house on the sheer glut of merchandise here, from armoires to wrought-iron bed frames. Men's, women's and children's clothes, mainly from the '80s and '90s, are so cheap (five pieces for $3 for the pink-tag items) you'll feel like you stole them. It is the home of the $9 file cabinet; the $10 pleated-shade lamp.
Recently, I spied a set of four wicker chairs that I'd swear were Breuers, for $59. Also: a midcentury lighted dressing table (minus the light, minus the mirror). An old Westinghouse freezer, the kind with a pull latch that kids get trapped in and suffocate, $399. A desultory flock of kids' bikes, $29 a pop, roosting by the exercise equipment. Every single hexagonal 1970s drum table has come for a stopover here on its way to hipster homes across the city.
There is a truly magnificent gallery of used electronics in the back, near the so very, very sad stuffed-toy table overwhelmed by crusty teddy bears and no-longer-purple Barney dolls. Wireless three-channel intercom for $3, anyone? Perhaps an Emerson clock-radio tape player, with the previous owner's "Island Tranquility" meditation tape still inside. While the women rove the dress aisles, the men slake their gadget lust here with Beta tape rewinders and $7.99 Hitachi rice cookers.
Tucked behind the freeway overpass on North Avenue 21 just short of downtown, it's invariably dingy and dusty in the store. Trucks heavy with new furniture come and go, belching exhaust fumes into the front docking zone. Loaded down with armfuls of cheap treasure, you'll crave a refreshing shower after a visit to St. Vincent de Paul's. For the stuff you can't haul home on your own, they now even have same-day delivery. But steer clear of the sofas. They are ghastly. And they always seem to have someone's overheated, sweaty octogenarian grandmother already sitting on them.—Gendy Alimurung
If you're in a hurry on a new-release Wednesday and don't have the time or desire to make the rounds to the many small suppliers that dot the city, Meltdown is your one-stop shop, the Amoeba of the L.A. comic scene. Walk in and drown in the colors that pour from each rack, the Smiths' "Girlfriend in a Coma" on the sound system, visuals bombarding. At Meltdown, each subgenre — underground, classic, graphic novel, superhero, manga, whatnot — is represented. Rejoice at the bounty of Tin Tin posters filling the west wall, and appreciate the depth of the employees' enthusiasm. The beautiful Chris Ware display in the back holds the artist's geometric work. An entire shelf is devoted to the Optic Nerve series by Adrian Tomine; another to the many moods of booty-loving Robert Crumb. Peruse the wildly successful Buffy the Vampire Slayer series in all its glory. All the Krazy Kat reissues are lined neatly in a row (drawn by the genius George Herriman, who spent his last days just up the road from Meltdown in the Hollywood Hills), a graphic affirmation that life is worth living.
But if that crap's too brainy for your sci-fi-loving ways, Meltdown also offers only-in-Hollywood temptations like an $18,000 limited-edition bronze Darth Vader statue, Clive Barker–approved Demon in the Blue Grass prints, all the DC, Dark Horse, Marvel and Vertigo comics you can put your French-fry-greased fingers on, and a very deep and imposing selection of Japanese manga. (Manga is a world in and of itself, and wise is the writer who admits his relative ignorance and moves along.) And, of course, all of L.A. Weekly's recurrent comic artists are represented: Lynda Barry's newest thrill, What It Is. The freako-surrealist Kaz strips, Tony Millionaire's boisterous Maakies series. There's even Meltdown University, a 13-week course in the craft of pictorial storytelling, so you, yes you, can be a major player (and soon thereafter, major chick magnet) in the glamorous world of comic art.—Randall Roberts

[February 3, 2014], ALEXANDRIA, VA: Hours before the Denver Broncos lined up against the Seattle Seahawks on Super Bowl Sunday, two other finalists—the Seahawks' TEAM AVRIL led by defensive end Cliff Avril and the Buffalo Bills' TEAM MOATS led by linebacker Arthur Moats—squared off in a league-wide competition to recruit the most volunteer readers, tutors and mentors. With 7,932 pledges, Arthur Moats earned the title United Way Super Recruiter and won $10,000 for United Way of Buffalo & Erie County.
"This may have been a competition, but there were no losers in this game," said Stacey D. Stewart, U.S. president, United Way Worldwide. "Thanks to the NFL and its players, more and more people are getting involved in improving kids' lives. Together, we're recruiting a support team of caring adults to extend learning beyond the classroom."
In the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, United Way issued a challenge to United Way TEAM NFL players to boost their volunteer recruitment efforts with a post-season promotion centered on the NFL playoffs.
Starting with Wildcard Weekend in January, the top 12 performing players leading in volunteer recruitment began competing for the title of United Way Super Recruiter.
"My family has always impressed upon me the importance of academics and giving back to the community," said Moats. "Working with United Way has shown me that when we unite as a community, we can accomplish wonders."
During the five weeks before the Super Bowl, TEAM NFL players recruited nearly 13,000 more volunteers. By the final week, Avril and Moats had exceeded their volunteer recruitment goals by more than 3,000 pledges each.
TEAM MOATS' success was built on the partnership of the NFL player, the Buffalo Bills, the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County and the TEAM NFL Student Representative, Simone Bernstein. They credit their success to having the St. Bonaventure University students, faculty, staff and community involved, a strong social media presence supported by all partners and Moats' eagerness to give back to the community.
TEAM AVRIL's success was built on the collaboration of the NFL player, the Seahawks, United Way of King County and the United Way TEAM NFL Student Representative, Casey Strader. They credit their success to having a recruitment booth at nearly all Seahawks home games, a strong social media presence supported by all partners and Avril's willingness to authentically engage with the community.
"I feel like education is key, especially in our community," said Avril. "We just need more people to go out there and volunteer."
United Way TEAM NFL is a core group of college-educated, civic-minded NFL players committed to helping United Way to cut the high school dropout rate in half by 2018. Each TEAM NFL player was charged with recruiting 3,000 volunteers and their recruitment efforts are tracked here.

LONG BEACH - The Occupy Long Beach donation drive to benefit homeless students will kick off today in Bixby Park.
Occupy Long Beach members are holding the drive to help students who are "victims of a system that has failed them."
"Just as we raise our collective voice to effect change within our government we raise our arms to embrace all members of our community," Occupy Long Beach organizer Mary Ellen Hobbs said in a statement.
In the Long Beach Unified School District, an estimated 5,000 students are classified as homeless - roughly 14 percent of the student population. The numbers of homeless students have grown in recent years as the school district expands its definition of a homeless student.
Under the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, any child who "lacks a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence" can be classified as homeless.
That includes children sleeping in shelters, cars or public places, as well as children living in substandard housing and those who are in families "doubled up" in homes with other families due to economic hardship.
The donation drive kicks off today and runs though Feb. 12.
Occupy Long Beach is asking for donations of athletic or closed-toe shoes, socks and jackets/zip-up sweatshirts/hoodies (clothing should be plain without print or text). Donations are for children grades K-12 in all sizes and must be new.
Donations will be given directly to Long Beach students in coordination with the Bethune Transitional Center for Homeless Students and the Los Angeles County Office of Education.
The LBUSD-run Bethune Center, founded in 1991, provides aid for homeless students, including referrals to housing, mental health services, assistance with transportation and help buying uniforms, books and other supplies.
Drop-off locations and hours are as follows:
Bixby Park (corner of Broadway and Junipero Avenue): 5 -8 p.m., Monday-Friday; noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Urban Cottage (4121 Long Beach Blvd.): 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday-Saturday.

Browns wide receiver Greg Little accused Baltimore Ravens strong safety James Ihedigbo of choking him Sunday during Cleveland's 24-18 win and explained that he pulled off Ihedigbo's helmet in self-defense. Little then threw the helmet and received a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty with 1:16 left in the first quarter.
Screen shots of the television broadcast on CBS show Ihedigbo with his hands around Little's neck. A still frame of the melee circulated online Monday.
"The ref was saying, 'Let go of his face mask,' but he was choking me, so I'm not [going to let go]," Little said today, speaking to reporters for the first time since the incident. "There's a thin line between football and just morals, and I'm not going to let a guy spit in my face, choke me, [disrespect] my family or anything like that. It's just how it is.
"I was pushing him off me and [his helmet] popped off. The refs [were] pulling him off me. He's still trying to choke me. I'm pushing him off, and his helmet popped off.'"
Ihedigbo, though, denied choking Little today when he spoke to Baltimore reporters.
"I would never personally cross the lines or play outside rules," Ihedigbo said, according to the Baltimore Sun. "I had my hand on his chest.
"I'm not a dirty player by any means. He's saying what took place that didn't take place. The refs would have seen it."
Little said he doesn't regret yanking off Ihedigbo's helmet and flinging it.
"None,'' Little said. "If you're going to take the game of football to where he took it to, then I'll meet you there."
While justifying his actions, Little also alluded to an altercation between Browns nose tackle Phil Taylor and Ravens running back Ray Rice during the first meeting of the season between the two AFC North rivals Sept. 15.
"Ask Phil [Taylor] if Ray Rice spit in his face again," Little said. "What would he do? Is he going to pat him on the back?"
Little said he hasn't received any notice from the NFL about a potential fine. But he added that if he is fined, Ihedigbo should be fined, too. The league reviews all plays each week and confirms fines to the media on Fridays.
The altercation between Little and Ihedigbo started at the end of a running play late in the first quarter. As Little blocked Ihedigbo, the safety put his right hand on the back of Little's helmet and pushed his head down. Little shoved back, and Ihedigbo and outside linebacker Pernell McPhee pushed Little, causing him to fall onto his backside.
Ihedigbo then lunged toward Little, placed his hands on Little's collarbone and neck area and drove him to the ground. Little yanked off Ihedigbo's helmet as other players separated the two. Little emerged from the pile with Ihedigbo's helmet and flung it.
Little later drew a taunting penalty against Ihedigbo with 11:10 left in the second quarter. As Ihedigbo drove Little out of bounds after he caught a pass on a crossing route, Little jabbed at Ihedigbo with his right hand. Ihedigbo shoved Little, and Little gestured at Ihedigbo to "come here," prompting an official to throw a flag.
The penalties were blemishes on an otherwise stellar performance. Little tallied a career-high seven catches for 122 yards.
"Greg knows that he shouldn't have thrown the helmet," Browns cornerback Joe Haden said. "But at the same time, as a man, you don't want to be disrespected."
After the game, Ihedigbo mocked Little when speaking to reporters.
"He's just trying to be a tough guy," Ihedigbo said. "Some guys that aren't tough try to prove that they are tough."
Little countered today.
"He's far from tough," Little said. "Believe it.
"I'm pretty sure we'll play again. And if he feels like I'm not tough, he knows where to find me."

Chrissy Teigen: 2014 ESPY Awards
Liberal idiocy to the extreme. Fuck this model whore, and the editor of this site for their silly belief that guns shoot all by themselves, and that if only we could get rid of all of the guns, the world would be a Peter Pan peanut butter and jelly sammich. Dickwads. Some of us like the idea that we can defend ourselves and if called upon, even you assholes that want to deprive us of the right to so. Again, DICKWADS.
