Browner files second appeal
Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner, who was suspended indefinitely by the NFL this week, has filed a second appeal. And Browner might pursue a lawsuit in an attempt to clear his name, his agent says.
Seattle Times staff reporter
RENTON – Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner has filed a second appeal after being suspended indefinitely earlier this week for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Browner's agent, Peter Schaffer, also confirmed to The Seattle Times that he will pursue other legal action, including a possible lawsuit, in an attempt to clear Browner's name.
Browner was suspended after testing positive for using non-performance enhancing drugs, said to be marijuana. The NFL initially proposed a one-year suspension after concluding that Browner was a Stage 3 offender of its drug program, having failed a test while playing with Denver in 2005 and 2006. Browner appealed, saying he didn't know he was supposed to submit to tests while playing in the Canadian Football League from 2007 through 2010. The NFL was reported to have offered an eight-game suspension, which Browner turned down.
Schaffer said he did not know when the second appeal might be heard. When asked if there was a chance it could be resolved in time for Browner to be eligible to play this season, he said "I hope so."
Regardless of the appeal, Schaffer said a lawsuit might be pursued, telling the Times "there are a litany of legal issues that are involved.'' Among those, he said, are "fundamental unfairness,'' as well as whether the NFL had the right to ask Browner to submit to the tests when Browner was unemployed. Also, Schaffer cited breach of confidentially. The league's website, NFL.com, has broken several stories on Browner's situation, including the news of Wednesday's indefinite suspension.
• Seattle filled the spot on the active roster created with the Browner suspension by promoting receiver Bryan Walters from the practice squad. Walters, a graduate of Juanita High, was on the active roster earlier this season.
• Seattle's injury report for Thursday included two new names, cornerback Jeremy Lane and guard J.R. Sweezy — both listed as not participating. Lane was listed as having an ankle injury and Sweezy a concussion. Neither was listed on Wednesday's injury report, indicating that the injuries may have happened during practice this week. Given the NFL's concussion protocol, that could put Sweezy at risk of not playing Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

Our hosts are announcing their engagement the way an engagement should be announced: among friends, in fancy dress, and with enough alcohol to kill a professional football team. First there are the pewter shot glasses filled with sour lemon drops and then there's the Boot, a glass cowboy boot filled to the brim with fancy German beer that gets passed around. If you get handed the boot, you have to take as deep a drink as you possibly can, and then pass it on. One man drinks from the bottom of the calf all the way down to the sole of the foot and then points at his wife: "Oh, you are so getting laid tonight, because I am hammered." A woman in the crowd scoffs: "Lucky girl."
Amid all the boozery, though, the party is sweet like a middle-school dance: There's a wall done up for fancy couple's portraits, and lots of ladies are wearing corsages. Two women are upstaging the bride-to-be by wearing wedding dresses. The scales are evened when there's a vote for king and queen of the party, and predictably, the hosts win and claim their victory dance: "Say You, Say Me." The hiphop gauntlet gets thrown, to the tune of Snow's "Informer," and everybody gets (a licky boom boom) down. I begin to discuss wedding plans with the host when he suddenly gets into a wrestling match with his best friend, tossing him against a wall and fake humping him. The bride-to-be makes doe eyes at her Prince Charming. "That's my fiancé. I love him so." Naturally.

Startup debuts low power 10G optical module
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. Lightwire Inc. is sampling an optical transceiver based on a novel CMOS design, claiming lower power and size than competing alternatives. The startup is demonstrating at the Optical Fiber Conference Monday (Feb. 25) its first product, a 10 Gbit/second module for the SFP+ 10GBase-LRM standard.
The LSME10XX consumes about 400 mW, about half the power of other 10 Gbit LRM modules that target a 220 meter range. The device uses a very small and simple switching element based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The MZI consumes just 30mW at 10 Gbits/s using a 1.2V power supply and measures just half a millimeter.
Lightwire (Allentown, Penns.) is sampling the LRM module now. Before the end of the year, it aims to have production quantities at prices it has not yet disclosed.
The startup will roll out this year products for the 10GBase-LR standard to span up to 10 km. It also will release before the end of the year a 40 Gbit module using four 10 Gbit links for the upcoming 40 Gbit/s version of Infiniband.
By early next year, Lightwire plans to ship versions of 10 Gbit modules for Fibre Channel and Sonet networks. The device is another in an expanding set of options for high-speed data center and telecom links.
Vijay Albuquerque, chief executive of Lightwire and former general manager of the fibre optic division of Agilent, said the company's technology will scale to support 100 Gbit/s networks. "We prefer four 25 Gbit/s links to support 100 Gbit connections," he said.
Company founder and chief technologist Kal Shastri was one of the first designers of serdes components in CMOS.
The company has "highly optimized waveguide modulators that get the most modulation depth per unit length per unit electrical power of any silicon photonics design I have seen while still maintaining very high inherent modulation bandwidth," said Thomas L. Koch, director of an optical technology center at Lehigh University and a member of Lightwire's technical advisory board.
"The optical source is still a separate laser chip, which could be viewed as a disadvantage compared to some photonic integrated circuits," said Koch. "However, Lightwire has devised techniques to address coupling laser chips into their CMOS photonics that are amenable to low-cost, high-volume manufacture," he added.
Lightwire claims its technology meets or exceeds the specifications of any copper or optical alternative, including emerging silicon optics devices in development by IBM and Intel.
Startup Luxtera (Carlsbad, Calif.) is one of Lightwire's closest competitors. Albuquerque notes Lightwire uses a popular 1310nm laser which matches with a wide variety of optical components. Luxtera uses a 1550nm laser source for modules it has been sampling since November.
The 1550nm lasers allow Luxtera to "integrate all transmit and all receive functionality as well as all electronics on a single CMOS die," said Marek Tlalka, the startup's vice president of marketing. "Since we are shipping products as complete optical active cable assemblies that plug into existing QSFP connectors, we do not face any interoperability issues," he added.
"By integrating everything on a single die, we are on the path to higher levels if integration with digital logic which is the ultimate goal of silicon photonics," Tlalka added.
He claimed Luxtera will also be about to scale its modulators to a native 40 Gbit/s rate.

What do you think of this nail art trend?
Will you be sporting it for Thanksgiving?
|{The full tutorials are over on Refinery 29!}
|{it's much more likely that I'll try one of these designs first...}
Don't think ill be sporting Thanksgiving nails but I do love the all the taupey gray colors (pretty much what I wear at all times) and love the glitter tips as well !
Yes, the bottom ones are more me. I have done different shades, different coloured tips and the single sparkly one.
Love the chevron-lik design in black, white and gold, but possibly a bit too ambitious for me.
I really love the nail art trend; i always feel more "fun" when i have my nails done and i find it lifts up my day :) Although I do lean more towards the bottom type designs you show. The one glitter finger look is one of my favorites.
Love ALL these ideas! The glitter nails are my current favorite.
Mae - you always have the best topics!
I honestly was just talking about nail art with a girlfriend the other day and we both decided that we are a tad too "boring" to dive in head-first with this trend. The craziest I get is a dark color or some sparkle. Any more than that, and I feel like a poser!
**I do LOVE the options you included on the bottom...those seem a bit more classy!** You're inspiring as always!
XO - Marion
i dont know if im into the nail art trend...the only kind of nail art i like are the ones that require glitter. other than that, not interested lol
Thanksgiving includes too many kitchen activities for me and I'm afraid anything would chip off in a few minutes. I wouldn't mind some glitter for New Years though!! :)
This is beautiful nail art.
Enter my Giveaway to win a $118 Bracelet:
J-Crew Pave Bracelet Giveaway
LOVE fun nails!
not a fan of the nail art but really kinda diggin' the taupe/grey colours!

Kennesaw (Ga.) Harrison five-star cornerback Paul Oliver said he's made a decision but isn't going to shut the recruiting process down totally.
"I told Georgia that I was committed to them," Oliver, who is 6-foot and 185 pounds, said. "It's really always been Georgia. I told everybody a while back that it was going to be really hard to leave the state, and Georgia is the right place for me."
Article Continues Below
"I'm still going to take my visits," Oliver said. "I'm still solid on UGA , but I owe it to myself to check all of the places out. You can tell everybody that I'm going to be a Dawg."
All of the places that Oliver might visit look to be still up in the air a little bit.
He said he'd like to visit Texas and Florida State for sure but other than that, it's still a while off from making a decision.

Would you watch a sitcom starring Russell Brand and Sean Combs? The long-legged Brand talked about going to a boxing match with Diddy on Leno last night and sorta pitched an excellent TV show simultaneously:
Imagine the "hip-hop mogul" and the "English gent" as pals who take down villains: "We will solve crimes — at a price!" At the end of every episode, they would learn, "maybe we ain't so different." The truth is, Brand and Diddy will both be in the Forgetting Sarah Marshall sequel, Get Him To The Greek. But back to the fight in Vegas: Brand was supposed to get tickets, but failed to do so. "In the end, Puff Daddy had to buy the tickets," Brand admitted. And Diddy paid so much, Brand felt he should have been able to sit on the shoulders of the man boxing. Clip at left.

Thank you Li! It was my pleasure!! : )Hi Mariolyn! I will let someone else post those pictures. I don't have a tripod so my night shots are usually blurry!
Now we can wait for the fireworks.
Nice parade, Cathy. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you Ank! Actually it was rather hot ... well by our standards anyway! It was 29C ( 86F) so most of the spectators were on the shady side of the street!!Yes, they are fun!! There were clowns with high powered water pistols who kept spraying the people on the side ... who didn't really mind at all !! One man who lived on the parade route ran out with his garden hose and the clown ran for cover!! The crowd was delighted. Then the man filled up the tank for the clowns!!Thank you Floyd!! Yes, it wouldn't be a parade without THEM !!!!I wanted to get them to you while it was still 1 July. Humm!? I guess in Australia it's 2 July. Oh well! I did the best I could!
I wasn't expecting to see pictures of the parade yet. You are very quick off the mark Cathy!
Always great to see a parade, especially with the MOUNTIES in their red serges.
Just love parades!!!
Very nice Cathy and I see it was great weather, I only hope it was not too warm for that men walking in the parade.

You have the same configuration as Helge Kreutzmann, can you please havea look at http://bugs.debian.org/387917 and follow instructions there?
I am still getting the X crash with exp2, despite using -option to try to kill all previous options, followed by the options I actually want.
I have an iMac iSight G5 (PowerMac12,1), so a different configuration to Helge, and I am using GB rather than DE.
Ok, then you may put xkb-data on hold, because these patches have been merged upstream and I am willing to upload into unstable very soon to have broader testing.
Oh! Not sure which patches you mean have been merged upsteam, because if it includes the xkb-data that crashes my machine, I obviously would not think that a good idea.

Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge is an urgent and arrestingly simple play. A middle-aged longshoreman named Eddie Carbone (James Black) falls into a forbidden love with his teenage niece. Blinded by an Oedipal-like inability to know himself and his desires, Eddie tries to stop the girl from growing up. He tells himself and everyone around him that he just wants to keep her safe, but his desires are ultimately bared. What follows is of course a tragedy -- one of Aristotelian proportions.
This spare and brutally elegant play is filled with such big-fisted power that it needs little more than a first-rate cast to make it work. In fact, too much theatricality, too much noise and chest-thumping over this story will only muck it up and push it past its tragic underpinnings and into the arena of melodrama.
And that's exactly what happens in the Alley's season opener, with director Stephen Rayne thumping his chest the hardest and loudest of them all.
The biggest stars of this production appear to be the sets and sound. There's enough pyrotechnic hoo-ha here to put together a live-theater version of Die Hard IV. Hugh Landwehr's striking set of dark scaffolding, made to look like the innards of a ship or a dirty neighborhood, is gorgeous. But the way it is manipulated becomes frustrating. The main playing area, Eddie's Brooklyn tenement flat, sits on an enormous gray platform that has been fitted with trainlike wheels so that it can move down center stage. The first time this happens it's marvelous. The cityscape breaks apart, opening up to the beaten-down human world inside all that steel. Eddie's sad little brown apartment slowly trundles down center stage. The metaphor is powerful -- initially. But slowly it gets lost in its own endless repetition. Over and over the apartment is sent upstage and downstage, upstage and downstage. Every time the scene changes there goes that apartment moving slowly behind the cityscape.
Lots of noise covers up the time it takes for that apartment to finally arrive or disappear. Period pop tunes (the play is set in the 1950s) blare from every corner of the theater. They are silly songs that connect with the scenes on the surface and oftentimes at an ironic level. At Christmas time we hear a happy, bebop "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas," though we are about to witness Eddie's horrifying crash and burn. The dramatic irony that Miller so carefully builds into his script (we know Eddie lusts after his niece even if he can't admit it) is crushed by these ironic musical interludes imposed upon the script by this production. In fact, the tone of the play is so damaged in the Alley's version that opening night's audience laughed at some of Miller's most tragic moments. They did so, in part, because they had been instructed to by the upbeat music.
The other noteworthy piece of Malcolm Nicholls's sound design comes in the form of doomsday noise, a growling trainlike sound that comes out of nowhere. As Eddie moves closer to his tragic end, the strange noise gets louder and louder. Clearly this grumbling is supposed to signify to us lunkheads in the audience that something very, very bad is about to happen. But this device is altogether too easy. There is enough dramatic intensity in the script to build tension, given the right cast.
Unfortunately some of the performers were so painfully miscast and so strangely directed that were it not for that doomsday noise, the audience might not realize that A View from the Bridge is tragic. Eddie's niece, Catherine (Sabrina Veroczi), is a complex and difficult role. Raised by Eddie (James Black) and her aunt, Beatrice (Annalee Jefferies), Catherine is an orphan who needs love. But she also needs to be out of her dangerous uncle's home. Her salvation comes along one night in the form of swashbuckling Rodolpho (Chris Henry Coffey), an illegal Italian immigrant.
Catherine is driven by desperation and by her own teenage hormones. "Teach me. I don't know anything hold me," she tells Rodolpho. But she's also a good Italian-American girl who wants Eddie's blessing. She wants to love Rodolpho and Eddie at once, a desire that becomes impossible in the face of Eddie's growing obsession. Madonna-like Catherine must choose between them. It is an enormously compelling conflict. But Veroczi's flat-footed Catherine seems merely confused where she should be brokenhearted, and befuddled where she should be enraged. There is not enough emotional versatility and nuance, not enough delicacy of carriage and voice to capture the fierce struggle happening inside Catherine.
Worse, Veroczi gets no help from Coffey's confused Rodolpho. Coffey matches the qualities of the role by being blond, funny and even charismatic, all qualities Rodolpho, but any feelings for Catherine are not evident. Indeed, the utter lack of chemistry between Coffey and Veroczi does as much damage to this production as the goofy songs between scenes.
There are only two compelling reasons to see the Alley play: the performances of Jefferies and Black.

In the role of the middle-aged Beatrice who loves her Eddie in spite of his strange obsession, Jefferies manages to create a character both sympathetic and frustrating. Beatrice, the one person who can help Catherine, is smart enough to figure out what's wrong with Eddie, but not smart enough to know how to fix it. Beatrice's reasonable quest to make things right eventually disintegrates into a desperate fight to get back the life she once had. Beatrice's pain is obvious in Jefferies's smallest gestures, her fist clenched upon the chair back, her chin held firm against the inevitable doom of Eddie's betrayal.
Black's Eddie is also powerful. He is wonderfully subtle in the role of a stubborn bull who cannot come to grips with what is burning inside him. He wants to believe he is driven by paternal righteousness and seems horrified at any other suggestion. He steals sideways glances at Catherine, unable to look openly at his own desires. As played by Black, Eddie is an ordinary workaday stiff consumed by a mythic-size passion so hot he is driven to do the unthinkable.
As good as these two performers are, they cannot make up for the lack of passion between Catherine and Rodolpho. And they cannot outshine the bells and whistles of the set and sound. This finely wrought script has been twisted out of shape by an overachieving director and designers who fly so far beyond the mark that this play becomes unrecognizable in their hands.
A View from the Bridge runs through October 23 at the Alley Theatre, 615 Texas, (713)228-8421. $32-$49.

I actually used the name Salem for a character once. I really like it, but I'm not sure it fits your character. My Salem was a shy, beleaguered youngest daughter of a villainess in a science-fiction story, so maybe that's part of the reason it puts me off. But also, using place names wasn't exactly trendy in the early 1800s (also keep in mind that witch hunts, burnings and hangings fell out of practice by roughly 1750 in Europe/North America), so a more familiar, classic name (like Adelaide, etc.) would probably be best.
Consider a slightly revitalized classic name, mostly plays on names you already have (I took these off an 1800 name census): Adeline, Eveline, Elizabet/Elspeth (maybe nn Elsie), Lisbeth, Harriet, Sera, Lydia, Ellen, Abigayle, Caroline nn Caro, Dahlia, Matilda/Mathilde nn Mattie, Amelia, Olive, Devorah, Almira, Mercy, Phebe, Esther, Caterin, Julia
I really like Esther for your character. It's classic, goes with her relatives, and still has some spunk. Mathilde/Matilda is also a favorite.
I love Issac, though I prefer Isaac spelling. Isaac & Esther go nicely together.
LN Fleming goes wonderfully with a bunch of my names: Esther Fleming, Mathilde Fleming (Mattie Fleming), Elspeth Fleming, Caroline Fleming, Mercy Fleming
Isaac Findlay has a certain ring.

Salem would be extraordinarily ironic, and you'd probably have to include an explanation.
Maybe do something related to witchcraft; do a reasonable amount of research, and pick something from the lore/culture that would make sense without being overbearing.
I agree that your other options are a bit soft/boring, so maybe:
Sella (Say-la)
Nature names would work well also. Fern, Ivy, Ashka, Willow...
For the boy, it sounds like he's from America (you didn't specify, so I'll assume). Which provides an interesting dynamic as far as time-period goes, because tensions were quite high between America and England around that time. See if you can use that to your advantage, it'll be ridiculously helpful to your plot.
Anyway, I like, Tate, Nathaniel, and Isaac. A good irony would be the last name Hawthorn, as that was the judge who did most of the prosecuting/condemning of witches in Salem. This rules out Nathaniel, because of the romantics author (who was related to him and ashamed of it to the point of adding an E to his name). I vote Isaac or Tate.
As a side note, I love your idea. It sounds interesting and I'd love to read it, if you intended on sharing. I've always had a nice little fascination with witchcraft.I'm not feeling incredibly profound at the moment. Check back later.

These 4 amazing videos are a historic record of the band's humble first steps in North Carolina and DC circa 1995. The extremely rare footage, recorded by Yishmael & Hailemah Solomon, features talented brothers Vaughn and Ronald Benjamin performing with some of the band's former members. Ron, who is the band's current bassist, is impressive on the keyboards and vocals while Vaughn's energy is youthful, positive and very powerful. A must watch for all Midnite and roots reggae fans. Audio and video quality is not perfect, but still highly enjoyable!

Is filibuster threat behind Hagel's delayed Senate vote?
The Senate can't escape the pesky topic of the filibuster, as the other F-word has been linked to Chuck Hagel's defense secretary nomination.
Prominent Republican senators like John McCain and Lindsey Graham have disavowed the filibuster, so far, as a way to block Hagel's nomination. But for now, Armed Services Committee Chairman Senator Carl Levin, a Democrat from Michigan, has delayed a committee vote on Hagel.
Related Story: Your one-stop primer on the Senate filibuster
The committee vote was scheduled for Thursday. However, on Wednesday, Levin released a statement about the delay.
"I had hoped to hold a vote on the nomination this week, but the committee's review of the nomination is not yet complete," Levin said. "I intend to schedule a vote on the nomination as soon as possible."
Some Republicans opposed to Hagel's nomination had asked him to supply information about his recent speeches and financial information about the privately held companies that paid for them. Hagel seems unlikely to comply, particularly since privately held companies rarely release their financial numbers.
They also wanted transcripts of other Hagel speeches.
Two Republican leaders, Mitch McConnell and James Inhofe, have dropped hints about pursuing a historic filibuster or another tactic, a hold, against the defense secretary nominee.
Such an act would be unique, since a party within the Senate has never attempted a filibuster against a cabinet nominee since the current filibuster rules were put in place in 1975.
Under the current rules, a cloture vote would need to take place, where at least 60 senators agree to limit floor debate, and overcome the filibuster.
There are 55 senators in the Democratic caucus in the Senate, and Republicans would need to weigh the cost of choosing to keep the status quo on filibuster rules, or rejecting Hagel.
A Senate deal over filibuster rules came last month after threats from Senate majority leader Harry Reid to use the "nuclear option" to drastically change filibuster rules in the current Congress, on a strict party-line vote.
Reid and McConnell agreed on a compromise about the filibuster rules for the next two years, adopting suggestions from two other senators: John McCain and Carl Levin.
But if the GOP forces a cloture vote over Hagel, the filibuster truce would be on very shaky ground. Only five Republicans would need to vote against the filibuster, and Hagel's nomination would be assured.
According to the The Washington Post as of Thursday, five Republicans were on record as supporting Hagel or opposing a filibuster, including McCain (who is against a filibuster).
And on Thursday afternoon, a sixth, Deb Fischer, a senator for Nebraska, told an Omaha newspaper she would vote against Hagel's nomination, but she couldn't support a filibuster.
Once Hagel's nomination is sent to the Senate for a floor vote, only a simple majority needs to approve it.
Another scenario is where one or several senators request a hold on Hagel's nomination, which is a brief delay in the process. But the Democrats can also call for a cloture vote to end the hold.
One theory behind Levin's move to delay the committee vote was to make sure the GOP's information request was made to the best ability of Hagel, the nominee.
The delay could also be used to make sure the GOP considers the ramifications of seeking a filibuster of a presidential cabinet nominee.
For now, the soonest a committee vote on Hagel could happen would be next week.

Governor Brown Signs Workers' Compensation Reform to Cut Hundreds of Millions in Waste, Protect Injured Workers and Reduce Costs to Business
SAN DIEGO Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. today signed landmark legislation backed by both Democrats and Republicans to reduce costs to businesses and protect workers by cutting out hundreds of millions of dollars in waste from Californias workers compensation system.
The bill, SB 863 (De León), reverses a four-year trend of rate increases. Without reform, these costs would continue to escalate, which would mean higher costs for businesses and smaller payments for injured workers.
These significant reforms save hundreds of millions of dollars for Californias employers while preventing an imminent crisis of skyrocketing rates that would have hurt both injured workers and businesses, said Governor Brown. Its extraordinary to see Republicans and Democrats come together to solve a problem before it becomes a crisis.
This reform law will create greater efficiencies and accountability in the system, save major employers money that can be used to hire new workers and help our economic recovery and protect workers who have been injured on the job, said Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez. This is a major victory for the people of California, and I am proud to have worked with the Governor, my colleagues in both parties and both houses of the Legislature and finally the stakeholders who came together in a spirit of good faith and cooperation to make this reform proposal a reality.
Not only does this compromise provide business with lower rates and injured workers with increased benefits, it also addresses the plight of those workers who suffer the most serious injuries on the job, said Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg. We cant forget those construction workers and other skilled employees whose injuries will end their careers. By annually setting aside $120 million in other cost savings to provide those workers their lost earning power, this reform ensures that no one is left out in our workers compensation system.
Last month, Governor Brown led the effort to pass SB 863, which was approved by an overwhelming majority of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. Representatives from both business and labor groups hailed the bills passage as a win-win for employers and employees alike.
California businesses support this important reform led by Governor Brown which represents a balanced approach to issues within California's workers' compensation system, said Allan Zaremberg, CEO of the California Chamber of Commerce. SB 863 provides employers with cost-saving proposals that will reduce frictional costs while providing injured workers with needed benefit increases. The reforms also have the potential to reduce costs to the underlying system that will benefit employers. We appreciate the Governor's commitment to an expeditious regulatory process that will help achieve the full extent of projected savings.
We commend the Governor for his leadership in providing a comprehensive solution to the growing workers compensation crisis, said Art Pulaski, Executive Secretary-Treasurer and Chief Officer of the California Labor Federation. This landmark reform provides injured workers with an increase of $860 million in benefits, while eliminating waste and inefficiencies in the system. This new law achieves a true rarity in Sacramento. It finds a way to increase benefits to those in need while reducing costs across the board.
In the past two years, the costs of workers compensation insurance have risen from $14.8 billion to $19 billion, with an estimated 12.6% increase projected in the near future. By reducing systemic inefficiencies and unnecessary expenses, Senate Bill 863 will save businesses $1 billion in 2013, increase payments to disabled workers by 30% and improve the delivery of medical treatment, retraining and other benefits.
As an employer, under Senate Bill 863 the State of California is projected to save $40 million per year in insurance costs alone, as well as untold millions in litigation, claims adjustment and other frictional costs. Savings to local government, including schools, cities and counties, are estimated at $170 million annually.
Workers compensation insurance is designed to help all California employers and the states 14.4 million workers by pooling risk of workplace injury and providing predictable payments to avoid costly litigation. Todays historic reform to this system achieves the following benefits and efficiencies:
For workers:
- SB 863 will increase permanent disability benefits by 30 percent, with faster payment of awards;
- Provide faster, higher-quality medical treatment; and
- Improve retraining and increase awards for those with career-ending injuries.
For business:
- SB 863 will reduce the costs of workers compensation losses by close to $1 billion;
- Reduce litigation, claims adjustment costs, and other frictional costs; and
- Provide a more predictable and more objective benefit delivery system.
For California:
- SB 863 will reduce workers compensation rates through the allowance of a state alternative dispute resolution program;
- Save the state $40 million annually in insurance costs; and
- Help support Californias economic recovery.
The average workers compensation rate per $100 of payroll is currently $2.39, down from a peak of $6.29 in 2003, but rates have been slowly climbing over the past four years and were projected to skyrocket in the near future. Todays law enacts sweeping reforms to workers compensation to prevent a crisis situation. This historic reform enjoyed strong bipartisan support in the Legislature and backing from workers and employers across California.
Workers Compensation Reform: What Theyre Saying
Sean McNally, Grimmway Farms:
This is an historic reform conceived by and for the two stakeholders in the system: employees and employers. It took leadership and experience from the governor and it took cooperation and bipartisanship from the legislature. We can make good public policy in California.
Jill A. Dulich, Senior Director, Marriott Claims Services - Los Angeles:
Marriott is very encouraged by the efforts of the administration to bring all parties to the table to realize meaningful workers' compensation reform this year. SB 863 will bring more predictability and stability to the California workers' compensation system in a time of economic challenge for all participants. We look forward to realizing the benefit to our injured associates and our company with the multi-faceted improvements contained in the bill.
Pam Marcum, ALPHA Fund:
We are pleased to support Senate Bill 863 This package is fair and balanced and will result in increased benefits for injured workers while at the same time creating cost savings for employers.
Bob Balgenorth, President, State Building and Construction Trades Council, AFL-CIO:
This historic agreement between business and labor will create a more streamlined workers compensation system by removing costs which do not directly benefit the interests of workers or employers. The reform will improve access to medical care for permanently disabled workers and ensures a more fair and much needed increase in compensation for their injuries. Big thanks to Governor Brown and the Legislature for making this happen.
Bill Dombrowski, California Retailers Association:
We applaud the various stakeholders for addressing the oncoming problems in the workers compensation system and hope that it can provide benefits for the worker and stability for the employers in the years to come.
John Kabateck, NFIB/CA Executive Director:
The workers compensation reform passed by the Legislature is a huge step toward achieving more accountability, efficiency, and cost savings in a cumbersome and expensive system. If everyone works together, the projected savings will help shield our struggling small business owners from larger rate hikes, while ensuring that injured workers receive the care that they need.
David Liebler, Director of Public Affairs & Member Services, California State Association of Counties (CSAC):
We applaud the joint efforts and collaborative process between labor representatives and employers in crafting reforms that will improve benefits while reducing costs.
Bruce DD Mac Rae, Vice President, State Government Affairs, UPS:
UPS takes pride in helping draft and support Senate Bill 863. This legislation will increase permanent disability benefits to our injured workers and provide for faster, high quality medical care while reducing overall workers compensation costs to businesses in the state.
Scott Blevins, 2012 President of the California Trucking Association and President of Manteca-based Mountain Valley Express:
Governor Browns leadership on workers compensation reform will save California trucking companies millions of dollars in insurance premiums, keep California competitive in global goods movement, and help the industry create good-paying jobs.
Daniel D. Crowley, President and Chief Executive Officer of U.S. HealthWorks:
This law is a major milestone for our State," said, the largest outpatient occupational health provider in the California. It goes a long way to assure injured workers will continue to have access to the right care right away, so they can return to their lives and work quickly. We thank Gov. Brown, Speaker Perez, President pro Tem Steinberg, Sen. De Leon and Asm. Solorio for making a difference.
Jason Schmelzer, Legislative Advocate for the California Coalition on Workers' Compensation:
"CCWC is proud to have worked with Governor Brown to achieve comprehensive workers' compensation reform. This legislation will help reduce costs for employers and make California more competitive."
California Association of Joint Powers Authorities (CAJPA):
The California Association of Joint Powers Authorities (CAJPA) believes the hallmark of a good workers compensation reform package is the reasonable balance between evidence-based estimates of cost savings achieved through system streamlining partnered with targeted benefit increases, also supported by independent data. CAJPA believes that SB 863 meets this critical test. SB 863 was originally introduced at the request of CAJPA to deal with the out-of-control workers' compensation lien problem. We are grateful that the labor and employer negotiators, along with the dedicated Department of Industrial Relations Director and Administration staff were able to include that small reform in their comprehensive package.
Associated Builders and Contractors of California:
Our contractors and their employees have been particularly hard hit in the past few years in this tough economy. ABC California believes SB 863 provides important cost saving reforms that will help reduce premiums for California small businesses in both the short and the long term.
Bruce Wick, California Professional Association of Specialty Contractors (CALPASC) Director of Risk Management:
The WC reform package has tremendous value to California, employers stave off massive increases, and employees receive benefit increases they deserve. We greatly appreciate the thoroughness and professionalism of those involved in the negotiations of this bill, developing a solid compromise that truly benefits all legitimate participants in the WC system.
Ron Fong, President & CEO, California Grocers Association:
CGA is significantly concerned that absent corrective action, our member companies will begin to see the same double-digit increases in workers compensation premiums that plagued California a decade ago. We are pleased to support Governor Browns efforts this year to help address employers need for premium stability while also balancing the need of injured workers to receive fair compensation. We look forward to continuing to work with the Governor and his Administration in the coming years to ensure promised savings and efficiencies are realized.
Steve Lee, President, Professional Engineers in California Government:
The workers' compensation reform bill is good for workers, good for employers, and will add fuel to the California economic comeback. The Governor deserves great credit -- it would not have passed without his dedication and hard work.
Tom Nassif, President and CEO, Western Growers Association:
Rising workers' compensation costs have been threatening farmers and the jobs they support. We applaud Governor Brown and his team for helping craft a workers' compensation bill that helps permanently injured workers while reforming aspects of the system that have contributed to lengthy conflict, litigation, delayed benefits for workers and higher costs for employers.
Martin Brady, Executive Director, Schools Insurance Authority:
SB 863 is a big step forward in helping to stabilize a rapidly deteriorating work comp marketplace. This bill is a good example of how California can become more competitive for our business community by making our system more predictable and less litigious.
Ken Tiratira, Executive Vice President, Employers Group Employers Group:
Californias largest and oldest organization representing employers and a member of the California Coalition on Workers' Compensation, is proud to stand with the Governor in support of much needed workers' compensation reform. Governor Brown's leadership was critical in fostering a collaborative partnership between business and labor to craft a legislative proposal that provides significant positive impact and benefits to business and injured workers.
Scott Hauge, President, Small Business California:
The SB 863 reform is aimed at reducing costs for small business and addressing some of the inequities for workers in the system. Workers compensation costs are rising and this bill will mitigate some of those costs today and reduce future increases.
Malinda Markowitz, Co- President of the California Nurses Association:
The California Nurses Association strongly supports California's workers' compensation reform SB 963. SB 963 provides increases in permanent disability benefits, minimizes delays in medical treatment, improves access to care and provides hard savings in excess of the cost benefits.
Allan Clark, President, California School Employees Association (CSEA):
The Workers' Compensation reform bill increases benefits for injured workers and reduces costs for employers. This is an example what can be accomplished when unions, employers, the legislature and the Governor work cooperatively.
Antoinette Smith, Vice President, Metro Risk Management:
Metro Risk Management fully endorses SB 863. With workers compensation in California entering a crisis, these critical and substantive amendments address various important needs of both injured workers and their employers/insurers. This carefully crafted compromise merits the support of all stakeholders in California workers compensation.
Suzanne Guyan, Director of Product Development, Comp Partners:
The cornerstone of SB863 is that injured workers will receive the right treatment at the right time. The new IMR requirement enforces resolving medical treatment disputes by a certified specialty peer reviewer in an expeditious manner rather than California's historic arduous legal process.
James T. Hay, M.D., President, California Medical Association:
The California Medical Association (CMA) joins the long list of coalition partners and legislators from both sides of the aisle in supporting SB 863 because the bill will ensure that physicians can continue to treat our patients. After many hours of meetings with stakeholders, we believe SB 863 represents sound policy. We look forward to working with the Division of Workers Compensation in providing physician input throughout the development of implementing regulations.
Paul A. Smith, Senior Legislative Advocate, Regional Council of Rural Counties:
RCRC believes the reforms contained in SB 863 will have the dual effect of providing worthy increases in permanent disability awards to injured workers while achieving cost-savings to employers through much-needed reforms.
Phil Vermuelen on behalf of Engineering Contractors' Association, the Marin Builders Association, the California Chapter of the American Fence Contractors, the California Fence Contractors and the Flasher Barricade Association:
With 12%-18% or more of rate increases looming, the workers' compensation reform package absolutely had to receive approval this session or many more jobs would have been lost. This was our impetus for labor and management to come together to craft this very important reform package. Thankfully, Governor Brown's intervention made this reform package a reality. We are all deeply appreciative of his efforts on our behalf. And this important accomplishment bodes well for us to achieve many other mutual efforts in the future!
Darrell Brown, Senior Vice President/Managing Director Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc.:
Sedgwick is in support of Senate Bill 863. The legislation will bring balance to the system by ensuring equitable benefits to injured employees while controlling unnecessary and costly frictional costs that don't benefit employees or employers.
Gino DiCaro, California Manufacturers and Technology Association:
CMTA supports a workers compensation system that provides fair compensation to injured workers while protecting California employers from excessive litigation and other expense. System costs are now too high, creating the fifth highest workers compensation premiums in the nation. Costs are likely to rise further, putting jobs and the economy at risk. For that reason it is vital that any benefit increases be accompanied by cost savings that will both reduce current costs and slow cost increases in the future. SB 863 is a step in the right direction, but success will depend upon regulators, labor and management working together to ensure the promised savings are realized. CMTA will closely follow its implementation in the months and years ahead and seek additional reforms, if necessary, to lower costs.
Kevin Confetti, Director, Workers' Compensation, University of California, Office of the President - Office of Risk Services:
The University of California considers SB 863 an important piece of legislation that is vital to workers' compensation reform in California. The bill provides injured Californian's with a needed permanent disability benefit increase while alleviating many of the burdensome and inefficient processes that only lead to friction and additional expense in our workers' compensation system. SB 863 is a step in the right direction towards making our workers' compensation system more objective and effective which will benefit all Californians.
Michael Prosio, Regional Vice President, State Affairs, Anthem Blue Cross:
As an employer of thousands of Californians and a provider in the workers' compensation system, Anthem Blue Cross understands the need for comprehensive workers' compensation reform. We applaud the Governor's effort to put us on course to lower costs for employers and provide much-needed benefit increases for injured workers.
Eddie Bernacchi on behalf of the California Chapters of the National Electrical Contractors Association & the California Legislative Conference of the Plumbing, Heating and Piping Industry:
Our construction clients strongly support SB 863 and the efforts of Governor Brown to address the escalating costs of works compensation before it becomes a crisis. This is just another example of the Governors leadership in getting California back to work.
Dean E. Vogel, President, California Teachers Association:
We commend Sen. DeLeón for pushing through SB 863 and the Governor for signing this very important piece of legislation. The fact this measure remedies key problem areas including providing quicker access to medical treatment, means Californias workers will get the attention they need when they need ita move that benefits students whose teachers may be injured.

Start spreading the news about Mike
BALLYGOWAN rider Michael Pearson is a lookalike for the young Frank Sinatra and he has certainly proved that doing it "my way" pays off for he is now leading the Irish Superbike championship after two blistering wins at Bishopscourt yesterday.
Pearson was in tremendous form in the first race which he won by virtually a distance from Declan Swanton and Marshall Neill but Pearson had tougher opposition in the second race when Kirk Jamison led for part of the race before Pearson got to grips with him near the finish.
It was nip and tuck before Pearson established his authority and relegated Jamison to second with Denver Robb third.
Pearson couldn't believe that he had leapt up the championship table so quickly.
"So I'm half a point ahead of Swanton," he said. "That's terrific, especially after the previous round at Mondello where I didn't have the best of days."
Swanton, who was the championship leader up until yesterday, blotted his copybook when he crashed but was unhurt in the second race.
Pearson won't be going to Mondello next weekend for the British Superbike championship but one man who can't wait is Alastair Seeley who rolled off two supremely confident Supersport wins yesterday and now rides in the Superstock
championship next Sunday.
"I can't wait for it," said Seeley, whose best performance this year by far was to take second place to Bruce Anstey in the Superstock race at the North West 200.
RESULTS: Irish Superbike championship: Race 1: 1, Michael Pearson; 2, Declan Swanton; 3, Marshall Neill.
Race 2: 1, Michael Pearson; 2, Kirk Jamison; 3, Denver Robb.

"Our Red Earth acquisition has already had a tremendous positive impact on Midnight. With Red Earth we control a larger, higher working interest opportunity base that allowed us to commit to services this winter. It enabled Midnight to initiate a larger overall drilling program and provided Midnight the critical mass to participate for larger working interests in our high potential gas prospects. Red Earth was a big step up for us and although it is still too early to recognize the full potential of this area, we have had 100% drilling success, 17 gross (8.8 net) wells and expanded the prospect base. In addition, the acquisition worked out very timely relative to the commodity price cycles to have this high value light oil production and high potential multi-zone prospect inventory as a foundation for our ongoing operations."

Next couple safe: Kurt/Anna

Next couple safe: Kurt/Anna
"In jeopardy": Rick/Cheryl (ooh, a judges fave "in jeopardy")
I am not a Derek fan, as many on here know... but I'm rooting for him and Jennifer this season. They (ABC) went out there and found him a partner that I adore. Thanks alot, ABC! I think they're safe.
Will it just be 3 "in jeopardy this week or 4 of them? If Kurt and Rick are both safe then Flo and Audrina would both be in bottom. I hope Flo is down there or I really fear for Audrina. I would be even happier however if Audrina wasn't even in bottom but I think she will be.
Now, the Hoff up with his own law commercial (David "the sledgehammer" Hoff, with a cameo by Margaret and creepy laugh from Tony).
So then it's between Audrina and Flo for part of bottom three? Oh, dear.Originally Posted by karalott;4087601;
Now we have to pray Flo is "in jeopardy" out of Flo and Audrina or poor Audrina could be in trouble as I don't see Rick or Grey leaving.Originally Posted by karalott;4087601;
Better be Flo. Dear Lord I'm nervous.Originally Posted by veg_out;4087606;
Probably just 3, and Florence fits the judges favorite Tom keeps hyping more than Audrina. If Florence is safe, I don't think I can watch the resultOriginally Posted by ChelsieFan;4087604;
Shakira up now.
I don't like that he's always trying to put slimy humor into his dances. Rather than showcasing his partner he puts bad humor (and I use that term very loosly) into his dances. Last night was a perfect example, Florence could handle the dance and the first half was good, then they went overboard with the arm movements, it was supposed to be humorous, but ended up looking like he was giving Florence shaken baby syndrome.Originally Posted by CupidGuest;4087580;

See also: Friday's Daily Dish
There has always been, and will likely always be, a fascination with the knuckleball. As unpredictable as the pitch can be, so too is the path for those who try to master it.
Most recently, Red Sox righthander Charlie Zink grabbed attention nationally after he went 3-2, 3.43 for Double-A Portland during the second half of the 2003 season.
Zink has struggled since, going 1-8, 5.97 at the same level in 2004, then coming back relatively strong for the Sea Dogs last year before falling apart after a promotion to Triple-A Pawtucket–carrying a 10.45 ERA in just 10 innings.
Such is the life of a knuckeballer in the minor leagues. Just ask White Sox righthander Charlie Haeger.
"As far as knuckleballers, I look up to all of them," Haeger said. "I look up to all of the guys who had some sort of success at the major league level, simply because it'™s such a tough pitch to master. Needless to say, the success rate isn't very good.
"But I look up to guys like Wilbur Wood, Charlie Hough, (Tim) Wakefield . . . It'™s just such a rarity that it's become something that's kind of on the verge of extinction."
Haeger is the latest to garner attention for the knuckler, and he has been throwing it well in all kinds of weather conditions early on. In his last start on Friday–in Ottawa–Haeger allowed just three hits over seven innings, lowering his ERA to 0.51 in 35 innings at Triple-A Charlotte.
"It was a little cold, and (the knuckleball) moves so much more when it's warm and humid," Haeger said. "The leather just loosens up more and I can get my fingers into the seems when it's warmer. Sometimes, it's just like you go out there and see what it does."
Haeger has had success in every outing so far this season. In his first five starts, he's averaging seven innings each time out and has allowed just two earned runs.
"I've had pretty good control with it so far. I'd say it's been a little bit above-average," Haeger said. "But the big thing for me is hitters have been aggressive after it, which is huge. And my defense has been playing fantastic behind me."
This is a long way from where Haeger was just three seasons ago. The 25th-round pick in 2001 became so discouraged with his lack of development that he left the White Sox organization in 2003. He played golf at Madonna University in Michigan, where his brother Greg is the baseball coach, but worked on a knuckleball that had been suggested by minor league pitching coach Chris Sinacori.
Haeger returned to baseball in 2004 as a knuckleball specialist. He reeled off 14 wins between high Class A Winston-Salem and Double-A Birmingham last season, and was added to the 40-man roster after pitching for two months of winter ball in Venezuela.
In addition to the knuckleball, Haeger mixes in a high-80s fastball and a slider, which he said he's thrown maybe 10 times so far this season. As for his early successes, Haeger said he chooses to ignore the results–no matter what they might be.
"I don't really look at the numbers at all," he said. "I know that in one bad outing that everything could change at the drop of a hat. So I just go out there every fifth day and concentrate on making my pitches and getting through from hitter to hitter."
Billinglsey Deals–Again
The Pacific Coast League is perhaps as tough as it gets for pitchers. What may be the best hitter'™s league in the minors eats arms, from prospects to minor league veterans.
Take a look at Giants rookie Matt Cain's numbers last year at Triple-A Fresno: while he had 176 strikeouts in 146 innings, Cain finished with a 4.39 ERA. But that wasn't bad in a league where four out of the top 10 pitchers in the league wound up with an ERA over four.
"The only thing comparable in minor league baseball is either the Cal League or the Arizona Fall League," Triple-A Tucson lefthander Bill Murphy said. "But if you pitched in either one, you have some kind of idea how to pitch in the PCL."
Don'™t tell any of this to Dodgers righthander Chad Billingsley. Billingsley, who was pulled from the Phoenix roster just before the AFL season started last fall, never pitched in either league. And he'™s doing just fine.
In his latest outing on Friday, the Dodgers' top prospect allowed one hit over eight innings and struck out six in a shutout against Colorado Springs. Billinglsey is now 3-0, 1.59 overall, with awesome secondary numbers: in 28 innings, he'™s whiffed 31 and walked 10.
"One of two things could happen," Dodgers GM Ned Colletti told the Pasedena Star-News. "One, an opening could be created. Or two, Chad Billingsley could create his own opening."
Maxwell Impressive In Debut
Justin Maxwell is happy just to be playing pro ball these days.
The Nationals'™ fourth-round pick last June made his debut on Saturday after spending nearly the entire first month of the season in extended spring training.
Staying healthy is a concern for Maxwell, who missed his junior year at Maryland with a broken right arm and then missed much of his senior season with a broken hamate bone in his hand.
He showed no rust in his debut at low Class A Savannah, hitting a three-run homer as the Sand Gnats defeated Greenville, 6-4.
"It felt pretty good because it tied the ball game and got us back in the game," Maxwell told the Savannah Morning News. "We weren't hitting too hot in the early innings.
"I wasn't really thinking about (hitting a homer). I was just trying to hit the ball hard and it worked out."
Mets righthander Mike Pelfrey made his Double-A debut on Saturday and did not allow a run in 5 2/3 innings against Erie, striking out eight . . . It doesn'™t get much hotter than Tigers righthander Humberto Sanchez. Coincidentally in a start against Pelfrey, Sanchez struck out 13 Binghamton batters in Double-A Erie'™s 1-0 win. Sanchez is 2-1, 1.50 with 41 stirkeouts in 30 innings . . . Indians righthander Cody Bunkleman made his 2006 debut Saturday at low Class A Lake County. Bunkleman, who was expected to vie for a starting role with the Captains out of spring training, stayed back in extended to get used to his new role–the bullpen. "They told me it was the way for me to possibly move faster," Bunkleman said. "So I'll do whatever they want me to do." Bunkleman, a sixth-round pick in 2004, has a 95 mph sinker and complements it with an above-average slider, but his changeup hasn'™t developed–hence the move to the pen. Bunkleman threw two shutout innings in his debut, striking out four.

Summit has just announced the winner of their New Moon movie contest. Congrats to Ky on his winning entry!
A Twilight Saga Fansite
Summit has just announced the winner of their New Moon movie contest. Congrats to Ky on his winning entry!
First! Haha. His video was actually pretty cool and really funny 😀 If it couldn't be me… 😉 hahahaha just kidding. Congrats Ky!
The only comment I really have is… if you watch the video, I'm pretty sure that's a "him" and not a "her".
yea…i second that
its totally a guy…….
Ummmm….. Guy or girl? Anyone?
When are they listing the finalists's videos?
ithink it's an' it'
It's a Twi-Guy!
Watch the video 😀
Where are the videos listed? I can't find them.
The finalist videos are at twilightthemovie.com in the video box. Click the names on the bottom 🙂
video's pretty funny 🙂 i liked it, some of the finalists aren't bad either! the one with the writing on the paper actually made me really sad. (watch the ending, you'll see why)
That was so sad I feel really bad for her she is obviously still hurting =(
umm, a guy? i didn't even get to enter but.. i doubt i would have won anyway! well, have fun whoever this is!!!
OMTL!! I just watched it! that was actually pretty good!! i don't know any Twi-Guys, but if there are any like him, i'd love to meet them! sounds interesting… congrats anyway
Its a guy lol so congrats on his winning entry
i feel like most of the finalists and the winner were way too similar considering this was supposed to be judged on creativity. but whatever. i didn't enter. i don't care.
DEFINITELY A TWI-GUY. This makes my video entry completely lame :-/
Ky is a guy just fyi
um it's a guy lexicon.
haha yea definantly a dude….or one ugly girl who has a deep voice ?
Wait, at first I thought that Ky was a Twi-guy (which is a natural assumption, no?)…but then THIS news feed said "Congratulations on HER entry"…and that got me to thinking…in the video, Ky says, "My girlfriend's name is Jacob Black". ??? Could be a straight guy. Could be a joke. Could actually be gay. Could be a chick (though I say quite vehemently, the person in the video is for sure a guy). Confusion!
Um, yeah, that's a guy ^^;
Yeah, it's a guy.
Raise of hands for anyone else who felt SO lame for their entry video after watching all the finalists'?
I was under the miscomprehension that it couldn't be fancy, I guess reading all the official rules confused me. Even if I HAD known, I don't know the technology, or have the creativity! Ha ha.
that was the worst video ever.
Haha luv the video – I was nt even old enough to enter BU ONE YR
I am 13 and the age limit is 14!!!!!!!!!!
O well hope to c him in the movie – another reason to be excited 🙂
Hey guys, I know this is a little off topic, but does anyone know when summit is planning to release the trailer for new moon?
Congrats Ky! Live the experience to the fullest!!!
This is NOT official, but I heard that they're planning to release a kind of teaser trailer in the late summer. 🙂
Congrats to the winner and all of the finalist.
ugh finalists**
I think that they were not fair in judging the videos. Every single one of the finalist ones were done with an editing program. I worked so hard to make mine a minute long. They should have at least made one unedited video a finalist.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm really mad. It's just my opinion.
There's always a chance to be in Eclipse! lol
Hey, I'm one of the finalists (they spelled my name wrong). And I think the judging was very fair. I barely edited my video. All I did was add words in in case the audio wasn't good and the judges couldnt hear me. It's really not fair for you to talk down about the finalists because we all worked really hard not only making the videos but AFTER we had to stay quiet for over a month. Give some credit. And support Ky, he's repping us up there. Thanks.
Congrats man… and please excuse my glum… I'm just so sad I didn't even make it to the top 10. I'm sooo jealous. Good Job though 😉
yes its a guy
i LOVE Ky
he's totaly into making videos he even has a youtube
and he's really funny
every one wouldn't stop talking about him today it was crazy
I watched all the finalist videos and I have to say that Rachel's is incredible! Don't get me wrong, Ky's is creative, but Rachel's really has the feel of New Moon. It would have been awesome of they had tied. I love their videos equally. The judges must of have to draw sticks to decide on this one!
it makes me really mad that some of the finalists broke rules…thats really not fair. Watch KRISTINA'S…Huge posters behind her head.
What rules did I break? I'm pretty sure if I broke the rules then I wouldnt be a finalist to begin with. They said NO copyrighted material that doesnt belong to Summit Entertainment. Well guess what? Those posters and pictures belong to Summit Entertainment. And to back up Natalie; the MOVIE belongs to Summit Entertainment. Is it so hard to just be happy for us? No need to get angry over something you can't control.
point well taken…
Krystina you lost too , get over yourself. i find it funny how into this contest people are. dont freak at mags either, she's entitled to her opinion and EVERYONE clearly worked hard on their videos, not just you.
maybe u didnt break the rules but there were some that did. im clearly not going to point them out because youre going to freak out
oh and NATALIE'S
I like his video. It was very well done I can't stop watching it. Congrats to Ky!
ALL OF THE FINALIST BROKE THE RULES. The rules said that there could be no cuts in the video and all of them had cut after cut after cut. Pretty messed up.

Rand Paul Endorses Mitch McConnell
It is shaping up to be a very good day for Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Ashley Judd decided not to run and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has endorsed his re-election effort. From the Daily Caller:
The Daily Caller has learned that Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul is endorsing Sen. Mitch McConnell for re-election in 2014, ending speculation that Paul would back a tea party challenge to the Senate minority leader.
"Rand Paul has endorsed McConnell," Jesse Benton, McConnell's 2014 campaign manager, told The Daily Caller.
While not entire surprising that a junior senator would endorse their senior senator, it is an interesting development. McConnell was basically the driving force behind trying to keep Paul out of the Senate back in 2010. Instead of trying to get payback, Paul has decided the better move is to play nice.
This should help McConnell easily fend of any Tea-Party challenger. Even if a primary challenger probably couldn't beat him it may have done damage to his general election campaign.
It also interesting because it shows Paul is serious about being a real player within the Republican Party and not just a fringe figure. If Paul wants to make a real run for President in 2016, it is a wise move not to hold grudges with a top leader in the party. Paul seems much better/interested in playing the game than his father was.
