Commemorations for Abib 2
On this day, St. Thaddaeus(1), the Apostle, departed. The Lord had chosen him among the twelve disciples. When he received the grace of the Comforter along with the disciples, he travelled around the world preaching the Gospel. He returned many of the Jews and Gentiles to the knowledge of God and Baptized them. Then he went to the land of Syria and preached to its people and many believed through his hands. He suffered from the Jews and Gentiles, much humiliation and many tortures, then departed in peace.
May his prayers be with us, and Glory be to God forever. Amen._______________
(1) The Holy Bible mentioned: "Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus" (Mat. 10:3).

It took a little while, but Lance Benoist finally has a date for his octagon debut.
After signing a multi-fight deal with the UFC this past month, Benoist (5-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is scheduled to fight Matt Riddle (5-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) at "UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou."
UFC officials today announced the bout, though its placement on the event's fight card was not made official.
"UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou," takes place Sept. 17 at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, and its main card airs live on Spike TV.
A standout on the Midwest regional circuit, Benoist brings an impressive (albeit brief) resume into a deep division. He has ended all of his five professional fights and all but one of his six amateur fights in the first round. In fact, two of his first three professional victories came in the opening minute of the first round.
While his amateur record is marked by TKO victories, his professional record boasts four submission wins.
Benoist also holds a notable win over "The Ultimate Fighter 11" contestant Cleburn Walker. In fact, Benoist tried out for the "TUF 13" this past year but was not selected.
Riddle, meanwhile, is back in action after an undisclosed injury forced him to withdraw from a planned contest with T.J. Grant at UFC on Versus 4.
Riddle remains one of MMA's rare fighters who has fought all of his career bouts in the octagon. "The Ultimate Fighter 7" cast member most recently fought in a rousing December loss to Sean Pierson. Most observers felt the bout was UFC 124's "Fight of the Night," but a public vote saw the $100,000 award go to Georges St-Pierre and Josh Koscheck.
For more on "UFC Fight Night 25," stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

Ridgecrest 50k
Posted: Fri Dec 01, 2006 5:42 pm
I'm heading off tomorrow for Sunday morning's 50k in Ridgecrest, north of Los Angeles. The course is supposed to be fast (the record is 3:23-ish), but I'm running it as a training run for my January 50 miler. Expect a slow, paced RR and photos (if I can figure out how to post on here) after the weekend.
Anyone else racing this weekend?

Thanks, Rickshaw! The race went SO WELL. Below, ye olde race report:
This past weekend, I ran the Ridgecrest 50k, about 200 miles north of Los Angeles, as part of my training for the upcoming 50 miler I'm running on Catalina Island in January.
The galfriend, Ann, and I, headed through the deserts north of the City of Angels towards (what seems like the end of planet Earth) the tiny, military town Saturday afternoon, hitting the booming villa at sunset. A massive moon hung in the skies, which seemed to span from the eastern seaboard to China from where we stood, and winds were calm, the air dry and cool, all combining to form a perfect pre-race eve.
My pal Bud (see previous posts where I talk about an insane 59 year old who has been running ultras for 20+ years) met up with us, we picked up our race packets and hit a local restaurant for dinner and a couple of beers. I was feeling really good, since my training has me pushing 60 miles/week, with back-to-back long runs on Sat and Sunday that have topped off around 19 on Saturdays and 26 on Sundays. 31 miles? Piece of cake (rrrrrriiiiiight). As I've learned: Always respect the distance.
Crashing out around 11:00, the alarm rang out in the darkness around 5:20 AM, and we popped out of bed, Ann excited to see who in the hell else would volunteer to do this to themselves in the name of a good time, me, thrilled to get my @ss out on the hills and terrain. Bud met us at the lobby and we caravaned the 8 mns to the start.
Ridgecrest is the last big 50k of the year, so it's registration usually breaks 300, and at the start, the RD announced that this year, it hovered in the 350 mark. And hell, I believed it: The crowds were HUGE (for an ultra, where you're usually toeing the line with 80-100 others), everyone shivering in the 30 degree, sunless morning, but as it rose to expose the desert day, the gorgeous mountain peaks around us shimmered with awesome, pink, snowcapped tops, and before we knew it, the RD's husband issued a short prayer, and off we trotted!
Bud and I estimated finishing in 5:15-5:30, since we were "taking this as an easy training run" (remember that phrase) and the course is relatively fast, with a lot of gentle, long uphills and downhills; nothing too severe. The first 8 miles flew by, and before we knew it, we were clipping along to aid station 4 at the 13.9 mile marker, where Ann, a brilliant photographer, by the way, stood, snapping photos like crazy (I'll post when they come). Bud and I were having a blast, and hitting beyond the 1/2 marathon marker in 2:06 shocked the hell out of us. Ann seemed shocked herself: "You guys look like you're having the BEST time!" she yelled as we stopped to refill our bottles and grab PB and Js. And we were: We both were feeling strong, able to converse the entire run thus far, and somehow in the top 1/3 of the pack.
Bud told me having Ann at my first 100 miler next fall would come in handy, as she could take pics at the aid stations and tell me to "Get the hell moving, Candyass,", a phrase his wife coined years ago to get him out of the comfort of the aid stops. Sounded good to me - motivation can come in the strangest forms when you're exhausted and delirious and have 60 miles to go.
Running off, we continued with the agreement that if one of us was feeling particularly good, he should take off. I knew the pace was far below what was comfortable for me, so around mile 16, I started getting itchy ("Remember: THIS IS A TRAINING RUN," I kept reminding myself). Ann was at the next aid station, again snapping away, and as I hugged her, came to realize that my warnings about the "goat smell" were fairly accurate, if not spot-on.
Bud and I tromped uphill and rolled downhill, which, at mile 18, is when it all changed. He had to take an "extended bathroom break" and yelled to me over his shoulder, "Go for it!", and that's when the switch in my brain clicked. I checked my watch and began to reliaze that, not only was 5:15 totally possible, but close to 5 hours was not out of the question, and I've always dreamed of breaking 5 hours in a 50k.
"Okay," I chattered aloud, "you can push it, but this is a TRAINING R-," and before I could finish, my legs were pumping faster and faster. I began to cut the tangents on the turns and curves, saving a few yards here and there, and as I checked my watch, realized I was now running 8-8:30/mile, 20 miles into a race, and feeling freaking GREAT. As i hit the next aid station and checked in, I told the workers to tell #123 (Bud's number) to "get the hell moving, Candyass!" when he pulled in as I downed cookies and more PB and Js.
The following miles were stunning, and, as I am wont to do, I began to get emotional over the grandeur of the gift that nature has given us, and how as a trail runner, I get to be wholly immersed in it (what can I say: I'm a cry-baby). I passed through the aid station at the marathon mark and checked my time: Holy crap, I could break 5 hours without a problem!
Hauling @ss, I began to overtake...and overtake...and overtake, probably chasing down and passing 20 rabbits ahead of me, and as I blew through the final aid station at mile 29.9 (poor guys - I bet NO ONE stopped there), I further picked it up and in my estimations, ran a final 1 1/2 miles at a 7 mn/mile pace...UPHILL, and hitting the parking lot where the finish was located, I kicked it even harder, passing into the chutes at 4 hours, 55 mns!
I. Was. DONE. I couldn't breath. My guts were churning and my legs were on fire. "THIS IS A TRAINING RUN!" echoed in my drained brain.
Ann and I waited at the chutes, and 30 minutes later, a beaming Bud was heading towards us, and as his feet hit the finish, yelled, "CANDYASS, huhn?!"
I guess my message got to him.
All in all, what a fantastic weekend and a run well run. I finished 43rd overall, behind the first place finisher of 3:27(!!!), and beers were poured, a hot shower heartily enjoyed, and the gift of a lovely, desert sunset-lighted drive back to Los Angeles appreciated.
Training run. RIGHT.

Great job Rustyboy, great RR. Sounds like you had a great "training run." Having done several loong training runs myself I must say that the fact you felt so good throughout the race and were able to pick up the pace at the end indicates you're in great shape for your upcoming 50 miler on 1/13. I can't wait to see some pics...the more the better.
You still have another week or two to fine tune your fitness (another back to back long run weekend?) before you go into your taper.
Are you doing the "Run with the Buffalos" 50 mile run? The elevation profile of that course looks pretty wicked. But something tells me you're not going to have much of a problem.
Good going and good luck on Catalina.

Yep, I actually have a few more back to backs coming: 2 more big ones, and then the hard taper begins, right around the hildays...thank god.

It is the Run with the Buffalo run. The elevation changes, from what everyone I know from the area tells me, are quite the same as what I train on - 1 or 2 big climbs and a lot of rolling stuff. Meh, I'll take it easy when I have to and run it when I feel it.
I am FEELING the results of pushing it for so hard today: No aches or soreness, but man, the exhaustion is something else. That must be why this martini tastes so damned good.

Wow, fantastic! That sounds like a dream race. Congratulations on the spectacular finish, sub-5:00, and all-around ass kicking run!
And 19 milers on Saturdays followed by 26 on Sunday... I am very impressed.
Now rest up and have a great race in January!

Some pics from the 50k last weekend: Before, during, and after.
No, I didn't puke in the 2nd to last shot, but I *did* reach the point where I wished I could.

I don't think 5 is better than 6, but I ddefinately think it is underrated. Liek you said, not every episode has to have emotional depth, it can just be a fun episode to watch. In fact, I love last Temptation, I found, surprisingly, it beats out Colonel Homer(#11 out of my top ten) and makes it in around number 4 I think on my top 25. I don't mean any offense to Matt Groening, but I just feel it is a slightly better episode(though almost all, if not all, the episodes in my top 25 are A+'s, so they are still really close)
On another note, Just watched One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish again, and am I the only one who gets very close to tears everytime I get to the end of this episode. This must be the 10th time atleast I have seen it, and every time my eyes whater(though I don't shed a tear) This is definately up in my top three tear jerkers, even though it didn't exactly get me to cry. Anyone else do this when they see this episode?

I have designed a range of audio streamers based on the CM3 - with more designs in the pipework.
The streamers interface to the external Audio DAC via USB 2.0, however under certain conditions we experience random audible popping and clicks which are very hard to diagnose.
It would seem that some USB "interfaces" in the DAC's are more or less sensitive to the issue - with XMOS based devices working better then others (but still can be sensitive).
What is the root cause of the CM3 USB interface weakness? - my uneducated understanding is that the USB host controller in the Broadcom IC does not support DMA and that interrupts must be serviced by the CPUs (within a a certain time window (1ms?) otherwise the frame is dropped). Can anyone clarify the real issue and can anything be done to improve the USB stability so we don't drop frames.
I'm no software guy, but could not one ARM CPU core be dedicated JUST to servicing the USB interrupts? this might be seen as rather wasteful, but Audio throughput without dropouts is critical in our application - over any other potential performance hit.
When I look at the CPU loading the system is operating at around 7% to 10% loading (and this would appear to be just a single core) - yet we still experience heavy dropouts especially when transparency mode is enabled on Chromium web browser (highlighting an object in the browser session).
Looking at the CPU loading and there seems little correlation with CPU load (never anywhere near 100%) and real world dropouts...
I understand that in the very early days USB caused a whole bag of hurt - with even keystrokes being missed .... Its hard to really understand the whole issue - could RPi please comment and advise what can be done.
Can the Broadcom USB host controller be made to support USB2.0 data without dropping frames? - we are operating no where near the Max 480Mbps USB 2.0 data limit so hope it can be resolved at a the Kernal level.. somehow...
I expect that Broadcom and Rpi are working on the next Gen SoC, can a real USB host controller (I suspect USB3.0 is being considered) be included - maybe a couple of USB hosts

So they ask me
"Young boy
What you gon' do the second time around?
How you gon' come back?"
I tried told 'em
"I come back like 32
I jump back like 33"
Ugh, hit me
That's nothing
This is Tha Carter II, people
This is Tha Carter II, people
They call me Mr. Carter, I kissed the daughter
Of the dead's forehead, I killed the father
Spilled the heart of a mildew hater
I will put them body on chill like glaciers, gracias
I'm crazy, yes, it's obvious
Going against me is atheist
I got my angels on my shoulder and a quarter of that angel dust
I ain't sniffing, I'm just pitching, your honor
I ain't snitching, your honor
Hate bitch niggas, bitches with power
Vacate when that kitchen get hotter
I just sit on the counter
Open the cabinet, close the cupboard
Put that jar in the skillet, drop a four in the bubbles
I remember being young, tryna hustle my dope
Tryna tell the old junkies that my crack ain't soap
Tryna tell you 'fore you jump that my MAC ain't broke
You ain't tryna see how far that black back lane go, no
Call me Pac-Man, your ghost is blue
I got my Red River rubies and my ocean blue jewelry
Usually I'm a hooligan for the money
Yeah, I'm eating, but I got a tapeworm in my tummy, oh
Make harm and I bomb you in public
Hit you with the straight-arm, no warning, nothing
Look, it's morning, no yawning or nothing
I ain't sleeping, I'm up tryna take a nigga lunch
You gon' make a nigga break a nigga fronts
Then shake a nigga shorts and we taking what we want
I'm so 504, you got to kill me here
If you ever looking for me, bitch, I will be here
Cash Money is an army, Navy Seal me here
Lot of niggas ran from me, but I still be here
No chrome on the Continental, I'm so fundamental
Crack the Phil', crack the roof, and roll up the windows
And my hood love me, they tell me bring it home
That's why I holler Hollygrove on each and every song
You leaping at a dog, a dog with no bark
Just a bite like an old shark
And all you rich niggas know Pa, I'm talking 'bout Stunna
He like, "Keep your dough," he got your ho
And the sun shines on the king and sets on the prince
I met the Birdman and I been shining ever since, like that
"Fly in" is the sequel to Tha Carter's intro track, "Walk In." This trend started in 2002, when Weezy started off 500 Degreez with "Fly Talkin."
This song is continued at the end of this album with "Fly Out." Two other songs on the album, "Carter II" and "Fly Out," use the same beat.

BLUF – Bottom Line Up Front: They nailed it. Slitherine-AGEOD's new grand strategy game Field of Glory: Empires is here and I think it just set the standard on how...
No no - Empires has a perfectly functioning auto-resolve system like Paradox-style grand-strategy games. If you don't want to play out tactical battles or just generally don't want to buy another game, FOGE works fine on its own.So, you have to own FOG2 in order to play FOGE?
Even the most reliable ancient historians describe battles with one-sided casualty counts. Late Medieval battles, which are sometimes well documented have similar results. For example, at Agincourt, we can identify the majority of English soldiers by name and we know that English casualties were low (we have their pay records).My thought here is that the casualty count is rigged to approximate what historians believe really happened, not what Caesar said happened. Obviously, his and other accounts are all we have so we will really never know.
Colonel Bill
After playing in the Digital League for three years I would have to disagree. You can peruse the forum and see one sided results in pvp battles on many occasions. (40% to 7% raw losses for example). However also the system awards victory at 40% unless it is an even battle then it is 60%. The system will then assign greater losses to the losing side whether playing against the AI or a player. I have played many FOG battles where a dramatic collapse of a flank ultimately decides the battle.The battle description shows perfectly the problems I have with FOG. The winning side in an ancient battle took 30% losses. That would an unusual thing, most pre-gunpowder battles were rather one-sided in losses. If you play any FOG battle and then read an account of the battle on Wikipedia you will find remarkable differences. FOG battles are duels of attrition while real ancient battles were decided by clever stratagems and the random incidents of battle.
Real battles are interesting and have dramatic moments. FOG battles are slug-fests. You may be able to maneuver your forces better than the AI and get a little bit more out of them but you can never win decisively.

Sidni Hoxha and Kimberley Rashleigh Named CAA Swimmers of the Week
By ODU Athletics
Nov. 20, 2012
NORFOLK, Va. – The Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) announced on Tuesday that Sidni Hoxha and Kimberley Rashleigh of Old Dominion University were named CAA Swimmers of the Week.
This is the second time in three weeks that Hoxha has earned this award. Hoxha had an outstanding weekend for the Monarchs, breaking school records in the 100 and 200 (1:37.55) freestyle events at the Nike Cup in Chapel Hill, N.C. Hoxha's time of 43.43 in the 100 free also set a new all-time CAA record. On the first day of competition, he won the 50 yard freestyle championship with a time of 19.9 seconds, which qualified him for the NCAA B-cut and made him eligible for the NCAA Championship. On the second day of competition, Hoxha took second in the 200 free with a time of 1:37.55, setting a new school record. Both times in the 100 and 200 free were also the top times recorded in the CAA this season.
Rashleigh also posted a very strong weekend at the Nike Cup for the Monarchs highlighted by a first-place finish in the 200 backstroke with a time of 1:59.53. She set a school record in the 200 freestyle when she swam the first leg of the 800 yard freestyle relay in 1:49.62. Rashleigh also posted a time of 2:01 in the 200 IM final that qualified her to be eligible for the NCAA Championship in March. Rashleigh finished her weekend by winning the 400 IM with a time of 4:14.26 on the second day of competition. Her times in the 200 free, 400 IM and 200 IM were the fastest times recorded in the CAA this season.
Old Dominion will return to action on Dec. 1 when the Lady Monarchs will host George Washington and Rutgers; the men will host George Washintgton.

Good news, Olympic athletes--if you whip out your iPhone at the Sochi games, you will not find yourself surrounded by a cadre of unsmiling officials demanding that you account for what you've done.
I mean, you could still find yourself surrounded by a cadre of unsmiling officials at any time during these particular interests for any one of a number of reasons. But using a smartphone that didn't pay up for the Olympic seal of approval isn't one of them.
That's the story out of Russia, at any rate, in the wake of reports that Apple's iPhone was an unwelcome attendee at Friday's Opening Ceremonies. As we and other sites reported a few days ago, athletes were under the impression that if they used an iPhone to capture precious memories of Friday's big event, they would have to cover up the Apple logo or risk incurring the wrath of the International Olympic Committee and its corporate sponsor (and Apple archenemy) Samsung.
But Samsung, speaking to The Guardian insists that's not true.
"Samsung did not request any action of this nature from athletes attending the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. All commercial marketing around the games is overseen by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Samsung has not been involved in any decisions relating to branding of products used by athletes at the games."
And what did the IOC have to say for itself: "Athletes can use any device they wish during the Opening Ceremony," the Olympics organizer told The Guardian. We'll note that doesn't exactly contradict reports that athletes have to cover up the logo, but let's take Olympic organizers at their word--they seem trustworthy.
So how did reports of such a ban get started in the first place? Maybe language barriers can make strongly worded suggestions sound more like edicts. And it's not as if governing sports bodies like the IOC are known for their live-and-let-live attitude toward these types of things: that same Guardian article also links to a 2012 piece on the IOC's "branding police" and its efforts to protect sponsors at the 2012 Summer Games in London. Plus, athletes in Sochi already face a number of restrictions--they can't post video or audio to social networks lest it step on the toes of media companies that paid big bucks for broadcasting rights, for example--so it was only natural for athletes to be confused as to where the draconian dos and don'ts ended.
We'd love to be able to report on whether any athletes were spotted freely waving about their iPhones during Friday's Opening Ceremonies. But we live in the U.S., where rights-holder NBC tape delays a ceremony that ended hours ago until prime time. If only there were other ways to stream the Olympics...

Strange Winged Monster Discovered and Killed on the Huachuca Desert
Tombstone Epitaph, April 26, 1890
The article in question.
A winged monster, resembling a huge alligator with an extremely elongated tail and an immense pair of wings, was found on the desert between the Whetstone and Huachuca mountains last Sunday by two ranchers who were returning home from the Huachucas.
The creature was evidently greatly exhausted by a long flight and when discovered was able to fly but a short distance at a time.
After the first shock of wild amazement as it passed the two men, who were on horseback and armed with Winchester rifles , regained sufficient courage to pursue the monster and after an exciting chase of several miles succeeded in getting near enough to open fire with their rifles and wounding it.
The creature then turned on the men but owing to its exhausted condition they were able to keep out of its way and after a few well directed shots the monster partly rolled over and remained motionless.
The men cautiously approached, their horses snorting in terror and found that the monster was dead. They then proceeded to make an examination and found that it measured about ninety two feet in length and the greatest diameter was about fifty inches.
The monster had only two feet, these being situated a short distance from where the wings were joined to the body. The head, as near as they could judge was about eight feet long, the jaws being thickly set with strong, sharp teeth.
It's eyes were as large as a dinner plate and protruded halfway from the head. They had some difficulty in measuring the wings as they were partly folded under the body, but finally got one straightened out sufficiently to obtain a measurement of seventy eight –feet, making the total length from tip to tip about 160 feet.
The wings were composed of a thick and nearly transparent membrane and were devoid of feathers or hair, as was the entire body. The skin of the body was comparatively smooth and easily penetrated by a bullet.
The men cut off a small portion of the tip of one wing and took it home with them. Late last night one of them arrived in this city for supplies and to make the necessary preparations to skin the creature, when the hide will be sent east for examination by the eminent scientists of the day.
The finder returned early this morning accompanied by several prominent men who will endeavor to bring the strange creature back to the city before it is mutilated.
Pteranodon Sighting in Colorado
On July 14th, 2002 at 2:30 P.M. I observed what could only be what is called a pteranodon, soaring in the sky above Mogensen ponds near Mesa Colorado. The creature had an appoximate wing span of six feet, dwarfing two eagles flying nearby, and had a dull tan color skin.
It had a large toothless beak, a bony head with sunken eyes, featherless body, and a pointed appendage extending from the back of the head. The leathery wings were semi clear as I could see some light glow through.
Its head turned only with the creature's course of flight and rarely flapped its wings. When the wings did move the motion seemed simular to that of a bat.
I failed to see any form of tail, however I do recount seeing a full, pelican like throat and small protusions from the forward mid section of the wings.
Whatever this thing was, it did seem to fly like a bird of prey, possesed some anatomical simularities to a pelican, the color and wing motions of a fruit bat, and a head protusion simular but different from a blue herion.
My personal theory is that this flying creature miagrates to South America in the fall and returns to places like Texas, Colorado, and Arizona in the Spring.
If anyone else has any information, such as sightings of the creature or has a better idea what it could be, please let me know.
I am planing to stake out for this creature next July with a camera, digital camcorder, and a phone with the "Fish and Game" on auto dial in case of a new sighting.
The Flap of Pteradactyloid Wings
Dear Mr. Chorvinsky,
I received your name and address from a friend of mine who stated that you were writing a book about monsters and to have people write to you about their sighting.
Mine was about ten years ago, when I was returning home at around 3 a.m. after being out with a few friends to an all night restaurant to eat. I was turning off 140 onto 91 in Finksburg, in Carroll County, Maryland, which at that time was not developed as it is now.
The area was a high bank with a big cornfield at that time which was used for farming. The field backed up to a Jewish graveyard. After I made that turn, I saw what I thought was a man.
As I got closer, I saw what reminded me of a big pterodactyl-type thing, but standing on two feet like a man. The strange figure was brownish-gray and over six feet tall.
The face of this figure was of a man, but the chin seemed to be pointed like a beak. The figure then started moving and, when it did, it looked as though it had wings, and the closer I got the faster it would flap its wings.
It had a big wing span. The thing flew away. It flew over my car and the force of the wind made my whole car shake. The sound that wind made sounded almost like a helicopter.
Driving towards it must have scared it. When I used to tell people about this, they thought I was putting them on but it's something I will never forget and even now, when I go through that area, even knowing how developed it is, I feel scared knowing the old story that strange things always go around twice.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Ruth Lundy
Woodbine, Maryland

[Victims of Court Corruption] Militarization of Small Police Forces Across America
| Print |
Written by Alex Newman
Wednesday, 07 December 2011
Billions of taxpayer dollars are being used by the U.S. Department of Defense to provide military-grade weaponry to local law-enforcement departments, and the shadowy "1033" weapons program is expanding at a record pace. But critics of the scheme are concerned as even small-town police forces are building up arsenals that include amphibious tanks, helicopters, armored personnel carriers, robots, grenade launchers, and more.
According to Pentagon data cited by The Daily, the Defense Department gave away almost $500 million worth of surplus military equipment to state and local law enforcement in 2011 — a new record. And next year's orders are already up more than 400 percent.
Meanwhile, violent crime has plummeted to 40-year lows. But since the 1033 program was authorized by Congress in 1997, more than $2.5 billion of gear has been distributed to over 17,000 local and state agencies.
"The trend toward militarization was well under way before 9/11," Tim Lynch, director of the Cato Institute's project on criminal justice, told The Daily. "But it's the federal policy of making surplus military equipment available almost for free that has poured fuel on this fire."
Lynch said the militarization of local law enforcement has had a "corrupting influence" on policing culture in America, creating "paramilitary" units all across the nation. "They say, 'look we've got this equipment, this training and we haven't been using it.' That's where it starts to creep into routine policing," he added.
The Daily, a relatively new media organization making use of emerging technologies, interviewed several current and former law-enforcement chiefs for the story. Opinion varies widely and some police support the idea. For others, however, it is a sinister and troubling trend.
"The profile of these military police units invading a neighborhood like the occupation army is contrary to what you want to do as a police department," explained former Kansas City, Missouri, police chief Joseph McNamara, calling it contrary to good policing.
It is also risky and counterproductive, he said.
"The idea that some police have that by being really super tough and military and carrying military weapons is a way to prevent crime — this is false," concluded McNamara, who served as the chief of police for the city of San Jose, California, as well.
"We have a lot of evidence on how to prevent crime and the major component is to win support for police, that we're not this aloof occupation army.
While concerns about the militarization of law enforcement have been expressed for years by the Left and Right, The Daily article published on December 5 has been picked up around the world. Even media in Iran and Russia used it to paint America as a full-blown police state. "Battlefield US: Pentagon arms police departments with free heavy weaponry," blared a headline in RT, a Russian media outlet. Iran's PressTV titled its article on the subject "US equips police with military weapons."
Two days before The Daily's article by Benjamin Carlson appeared and drew worldwide attention to the issue, theNew York Times also examined militarization of law-enforcement, but from more of a mindset perspective. The Times' piece and other analysts have noted that the roles of law enforcement and the military are completely different.
Taxpayers hire police officers to protect and serve their local communities — essentially to keep the peace. They hire soldiers, on the other hand, to smash, kill, and destroy an enemy with overwhelming force.
"Yet lately images from Occupy protests streamed on the Internet — often in real time — show just how readily police officers can adopt military-style tactics and equipment, and come off more like soldiers as they face down citizens," noted Al Baker in a December 3 piece headlined "When the Police Go Military" for the Times.
"Some say this adds up to the emergence of a new, more militaristic breed of civilian police officer."
The development of militarized police is attributed largely to the federal government by analysts. Americans' tax dollars are unconsitutionally routed through D.C. only to be returned as "grants" with strings attached, often to fight various "wars" — terror and drugs most prominent among them -— declared by federal authorities.
And the process has served to significantly weaken local citizens' control over their law-enforcement agencies.
"There is behind this, also, I think, a kind of status competition or imitation, that there is positive status in having a sort of 'big department muscle,' in smaller departments," said University of California law Professor Franklin Zimring. "And then the problem is, if you have those kinds of specialized units, that you hunt for appropriate settings to use them and, in some of the smaller police departments, notions of the appropriate settings to use them are questionable. " And the problems are only increasing.
A 2006 study by the Cato Institute called "Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids in America" examined the ever-increasing number of military-style raids across the country — around 50,000 per year according to some estimates — that end in needless tragedy.
"Over the last 25 years, America has seen a disturbing militarization of its civilian law enforcement, along with a dramatic and unsettling rise in the use of paramilitary police units (most commonly called Special Weapons and Tactics, or SWAT) for routine police work," the executive summary explained, noting that the "SWAT" raids often inflict unnecessary terror on non-violent drug offenders, bystanders, and even wrongly targeted civilians.
"The raids terrorize innocents when police mistakenly target the wrong residence. And they have resulted in dozens of needless deaths and injuries, not only of drug offenders, but also of police officers, children, bystanders, and innocent suspects," the paper explained, detailing numerous accounts of abuses and botched operations that left innocent people dead.
But record billions worth of military equipment are still being handed to local police.
Meanwhile, as commentators on the subject have pointed out in recent days, the U.S. Senate just voted for a bill that purports to make America into a "battlefield" as part of the global terror war.
American citizens deemed by government bureaucrats to represent a "threat" to the "Homeland" under the legislation could be picked up by the military and detained indefinitely — no charges, no jury, no trial.

Ron Branson Writes
Thomas Jefferson who wrote the famous words re
Standing Armies;
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies..."

Are you buying a gift for a special Scouter in your life this holiday season? Or has a loved one or friend asked you for your wish list?
We're here to help. Or, more accurately, you're here to help one another. We asked for holiday gift suggestions on our Facebook page, and you shared some great ideas.
Here are 10 that should get you started. Including today, there are only 18 more shopping days until Christmas, so Be Prepared!
- The most-requested gift was a Dutch Oven, an essential piece of any Scout unit's kitchen.
- Iain A. wants non-cotton clothing for his Okpik campout. "I don't know about you, but I never used to read clothing tags, and apparently everything I own is cotton," Iain says.
- Several Scouters wanted a new tent, including Pam G. "Ours has a hole in it," she says.
- Sleeping bags were another popular request. "Our council camps are during a time when it's still quite cold at night," Tabitha K. says.
- Peg T. has a simple wish for her unit: "Our pack would be happy with new flags!" she says.
- For Jeremy S., the request is for something intangible: a camping trip to Zippel Bay, a Minnesota state park.
- SmartWool Socks are at the top of Jason M.'s list. They're the "best socks to keep feet warm in the winter and cool and dry in the summer," he says.
- A GPS unit was on the minds of many who responded. Kelly G. wants one so she can teach her Webelos Scout son how to geocache.
- With temperatures falling, snowshoes might be under the tree for Scouters like Jeanette R., who wants some for an outing with her pack.
- And finally, Lucy C. has something that we'd all like. This gift, though, won't fit in a box, and it can't be wrapped: "Time for more camping!" We're with you on that one, Lucy!

(ESSENTIALMUMS) — Southern Norway is in the midst of a diaper shortage after a supermarket price war lured enterprising bulk shoppers from eastern Europe who have cleaned out the shelves, customs officials and retailers said.
Norway is one of the world's most expensive countries. However, supermarkets in the south trying to lure local customers by undercutting rivals on the price of nappies inadvertently made it profitable enough for residents of nearby countries to start trading in them.
"They buy every last diaper, I mean everything we have on the shelves, throw it in the back of their car and take them home, where they sell it for a nice profit," says Terje Ragnar Hansen, a regional director for retail chain Rema 1000.

TOWSON, Md. (AP) Jerrelle Benimon posted his 10th double-double of the season and Marcus Damas scored in double figures for the fifth straight game to help Towson beat William & Mary 99-86 in double overtime Wednesday night in a Colonial Athletic Association matchup.
William & Mary (7-7, 1-2), losers of four straight, built a 56-45 lead behind two Marcus Thornton (24 points) free throws midway through the second half. But Towson roared back to send the game into overtime.
The teams exchanged buckets in the first overtime before Thornton nailed a 3-pointer with 3 seconds left to send the game into another extra period.
Towson opened the second overtime on an 11-1 run to pull away.
Benimon finished with 26 points and 12 rebounds, Damas 19 points, Mike Burwell 18, Rafriel Guthrie 15 and Jerome Hairston 13 for Towson (8-8, 3-0), which has won four straight after snapping a four-game skid.

A Full Circle of Giving
GlobalGiving recently joined the VMware Foundation at its Palo Alto headquarters to celebrate Pi Day by sharing ways that we can all support our global community. On the day marked by 3.14—and the joys of calculating the circumference of a circle—it was a reminder to us about the full circle of giving: the giving and receiving that helps propel our mission. We see this full circle exemplified by our continued collaboration with the VMware Foundation.
The VMware Foundation believes in Citizen Philanthropy, in which every individual's actions matter and add up to our collective impact. In recognition of all the individual contributions its employees made that contributed to the company's collective success in 2013, the Foundation gave the gift of giving to its more than 14,000 employees worldwide as a holiday gift in 2013. Each employee received a GlobalGiving charitable donation gift card for US$100, which they could then direct to projects of their choosing on GlobalGiving.org.
The cycle of giving continued with VMware employees directing their support to charitable programs of more than 1,000 organizations in 120 countries with their holiday gift cards. While many organizations received these gifts, for several the unanticipated support was quite a holiday surprise that will contribute to their missions and work in the year ahead.
More than 400 employees collectively donated $36,000 to Give an Hour, an organization that can now provide 2,000+ additional hours of mental health services to members of military families across the United States such as Jennifer Crane. Jennifer returned from her tour in Afghanistan with post-traumatic stress and found herself homeless and struggling with flashbacks and nightmares. When her course of treatment with Give an Hour ended, she reflected, "I no longer feel broken, but instead I feel whole. I am not trying to fool myself because yes, every day is a struggle. But the generosity of the individuals involved with Give an Hour has given me the faith in society that I so desperately needed."
Thousands of miles away from VMware's headquarters in Palo Alto, California, a woman named Nissima gave birth to twins in India. Her son weighed 1.5 kg, and her daughter just 0.73 kg. She rushed them to a nearby public hospital that had an on-site Embrace program and 21 infant warmers, but before she made it there, her son passed away.
Hypothermia is rarely a cause for concern across the birthing wings of the developed world, but in resource-challenged India it is a primary contributor to newborn deaths – and it is preventable. "Embrace is helping to reduce the risk of death in preterm babies in India. We establish programs at under-resourced clinics and hospitals and donate the Embrace infant warmer for free to low birth weight and premature infants in need," explains Alejandra Villalobos, Director of Development at Embrace.
When they arrived at the hospital, Nissima's daughter was immediately placed inside a warmer and Embrace staff gave Nissima support, explained what hypothermia was, and taught her the skills to keep her baby daughter warm. Villalobos considers education a key component of the Embrace strategy. "Recognizing that technology alone is not enough to solve complex problems like neonatal hypothermia, we also hire local staff to provide intensive health education programs for mothers, families, and health care workers." The Embrace staff followed up three months later to find Nissima practicing the skills she had learned and her daughter, now named Fortunate, growing every day.
Embrace has developed a simple solution to a life threatening problem, and with the support of the VMware Foundation and 721 VMware employees, is on its way to providing the life-saving technology of an Embrace warmer to more than 150,000 low birth weight and premature infants in 2014. "The Embrace team is humbled and honored to receive VMware and GlobalGiving's support. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of VMware employees during the holidays" said Villalobos.
For Jean, a Technical Account Manager at VMware, the hardest part of giving was choosing which worthy project to support. After giving to Embrace he noted that he actually received a great deal in return. "I felt so great and so happy just knowing that I helped someone in the world," he said. All donors on the site can feel confident their money is being sent to credible organizations with proven track records due to GlobalGiving's thorough vetting process. Jean felt the program opened his eyes to problems around the world and motivated him to create a better place to live.
GlobalGiving is proud to collaborate with VMware as we work together to continue the full circle of giving and receiving that has the power to impact, and potentially change, all of our lives.

MARTINEZ — Contra Costa Superior Court Judge David Flinn announced he will rule by March 7 on labor unions' legal challenge of anti-spiking pension legislation signed into law in 2012.
Public employee groups in Contra Costa, Alameda and Merced counties are asking the court to overturn the new prohibition on the inclusion in the retirement formula of banked vacation, holiday, on-call and other types of pay intended to boost pension benefits. The value of the extra pay adds anywhere from 3 percent to 24 percent onto a pensioner's monthly check, depending on the agency.
Flinn has already indicated in a preliminary ruling that he intends to uphold the restriction for all public employees hired since Jan. 1, 2013 but will grandfather the perk — subject to time limitations — for the 21,000 employees still on the job in the three counties who expected to take advantage of the now-banned benefit. People who have already retired are not expected to lose any benefits.
Whatever the judge rules is almost certainly headed for an appeal.
The state's attorneys are arguing for an outright end to the benefit for all employees who retire on or after Jan. 1, 2013, while union lawyers are seeking a restoration of the formula for those who took the public jobs under the old rules.

KINGSTON, R.I. – After injuries forced him out of his past two bookings, UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo is back to full training and on schedule for UFC 156.
Aldo (21-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) meets former lightweight titleholder Frankie Edgar (14-3-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC) in the featherweight headliner of the Feb. 2 pay-per-view event, which takes place in Las Vegas.
Aldo told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) he's back to 100 percent.
"I've been training at full force for a while now after my trainers and doctors cleared me," he told MMAjunkie.com after cornering teammate Marlon Sandro at Friday's Bellator 81 event. "I got back to training right away."
Aldo was slated to fight Edgar (an injury replacement for Erik Koch) this past month at UFC 153 in Rio de Janiero. However, Aldo injured himself in a motorcycle accident, and a subsequent infection in his foot and ankle ultimately forced him off the card completely.
But he said the effects of the accident are gone.
"I'm great," Aldo said. "Thank God, everything is completely healed. We're just training now."
Aldo hasn't fought since January, when he scored a first-round knockout of Chad Mendes at UFC 142. It marked the former/final WEC champion's 14th consecutive win and his fifth consecutive Zuffa title defense.
Against Edgar, who drops down a weight class for an immediate title shot, it's admittedly a big fight, especially following a 13-month layoff.
"For me, the next opponent and the next fight are always the most important (of my career)," he said. "Now all that's left is to keep training, show up to the fight, and win again."

The Gnadenhutten massacre, also known as the Moravian massacre, was the killing of 96 Christian Lenape by U.S. militiamen from Pennsylvania on March 8, 1782 at the Moravian missionary village of Gnadenhutten, Ohio during the American Revolutionary War.[2] More than a century later, Theodore Roosevelt called the massacre "a stain on frontier character that the lapse of time cannot wash away".[3]
The site of the village has been preserved. A reconstructed mission house and cooper's house were built there, and a monument to the dead was erected and dedicated a century later.[4] The burial mound is marked and has been maintained on the site; the village site has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

During the American Revolution, the Munsee- and Unami-speaking Lenni Lenape (also called Delaware) bands of the Ohio Country were deeply divided over which side, if any, to take in the conflict. The Munsee were generally northern bands from around the Hudson River and upper Delaware River originally. The Unami were from the southern reaches of the Delaware.
Years earlier, many Lenape had migrated west to Ohio from their territory on the mid-Atlantic coast to try to escape colonial encroachment, as well as pressure from Iroquois tribes from the north based around the Great Lakes and western New York. They resettled in what is now Ohio, with bands in several villages around their main village of Coshocton.[6] These villages were named Schoenbrunn, Gnadenhutten, and Salem, and located on what was then called the Muskingum River. Modern geography places Coshocton on the Muskingum River and the three smaller villages on the Tuscarawas River.
By the time of the Revolutionary War, the Lenape villages lay between the opposing interests, which had western frontier strongholds on either side: the rebel American colonists' military outpost at Fort Pitt (Pittsburgh) and the British with Indian allies around Fort Detroit, Michigan.
Some Lenape decided to take up arms against the American colonials and moved to the northwest, closer to Fort Detroit, where they settled on the Scioto and Sandusky rivers. Those Lenape sympathetic to the United States remained at Coshocton, and leaders, including White Eyes, signed the Treaty of Fort Pitt (1778) with the Americans.[7] Through this treaty, White Eyes intended to secure the Ohio Country as a state to be inhabited exclusively by Native Americans, as part of the new United States.
A third group of Lenape, many of them converted Christian Munsee and Unami, lived in several mission villages in Ohio led by David Zeisberger and other Moravian Christian missionaries. From the mid-Atlantic area, they spoke the Munsee and the Unami dialects of Delaware, an Algonquian language.
White Eyes, a Lenape chief and Speaker of the Delaware Head Council, negotiated the treaty. When he died in 1778, reportedly of smallpox, the treaty had not yet been ratified by Congress. United States officials never pursued it, and the Native American state was dropped. Years later, George Morgan, a colonial diplomat to the Lenape and Shawnee during the American Revolution, wrote to Congress that White Eyes had been murdered by American militia in Michigan.[7]
Many Lenape at Coshocton eventually joined the war against the Americans, in part because of American raids against even their friendly bands. In response, Colonel Daniel Brodhead led an expedition out of Fort Pitt and on 19 April 1781 destroyed Coshocton. Surviving residents fled to the north. Colonel Brodhead convinced the militia to leave the Lenape at the Moravian mission villages unmolested since they were peaceful and neutral.
Brodhead's having to restrain the militia from attacking the Moravian villages was a reflection of the brutal nature of frontier warfare. Violence had escalated on both sides. Relations between regular Continental Army officers from the East, such as Brodhead, and western militia were frequently strained. The tensions were worsened by the American government's policy of recruiting some Indian tribes as allies in the war. Western militiamen, many of whom had lost friends and family in Indian raids against settlers' encroachment, blamed all Indians for the acts of some and did not distinguish between friendly and hostile tribes or bands.
Removal and massacre[edit]
In September 1781, British-allied Indians, primarily Wyandot and Delaware, forced the Christian Indians and missionaries from the Moravian villages. They took them northwest toward Lake Erie to a new village, called "Captive Town", on the Sandusky River. The British took the missionaries David Zeisberger and John Heckewelder under guard back to Fort Detroit, where they tried the two men on charges of treason. The British suspected them of providing military intelligence to the American garrison at Fort Pitt. The missionaries were acquitted during the trial.
The Indians at Captive Town were going hungry because of insufficient rations. In February 1782, more than 150 were allowed to return to their old Moravian villages to harvest the crops and collect stored food they had been forced to leave behind. The frontier war was still raging. In early March 1782, the Lenape were surprised by a raiding party of 160 Pennsylvania militia led by Lieutenant Colonel David Williamson. The American militia rounded up the Christian Lenape and accused them of taking part in raids into Pennsylvania. Although the Lenape denied the charges, the militia held a council and voted to kill them. Refusing to take part, some militiamen left the area. One of those who opposed the killing of the Moravian Lenape was Obadiah Holmes, Jr. He wrote:
"one Nathan Rollins & brother [who] had had a father & uncle killed took the lead in murdering the Indians, ...& Nathan Rollins had tomahawked nineteen of the poor Moravians, & after it was over he sat down & cried, & said it was no satisfaction for the loss of his father & uncle after all".[8]
After the Lenape were told of the American militia's vote, they requested time to prepare for death and spent the night praying and singing hymns. They were held in two buildings, one for men and one for women and children.
The next morning on 8 March, the militia brought the Lenape to one of two "killing houses", one for men and the other for women and children. The American militia tied the Indians, stunned them with mallet blows to the head, and killed them with fatal scalping cuts. In all, the militia murdered and scalped 28 men, 29 women, and 39 children. Two Indian boys, one of whom had been scalped, survived to tell of the massacre. The militia piled the bodies in the mission buildings and burned the village down. They also burned the other abandoned Moravian villages.
The American militiamen looted the villages prior to their burning. The plunder, which needed 80 horses to carry, included everything which the people had held: furs for trade, pewter, tea sets, and clothing. A few years later, missionary Heckewelder collected the remains of the Lenape and buried them in a mound on the southern side of the village.
Although many settlers were outraged by the Gnadenhutten massacre, frontier residents, embittered by the ferocious warfare, generally supported the militia's actions.[9] Despite talk of bringing the murderers to justice, no criminal charges were filed and the conflict continued unabated.
The Lenape allies of the British sought revenge for the Gnadenhutten massacre. When General Washington heard about the massacre, he ordered American soldiers to avoid being captured alive, as he feared what the hostile Lenape would do to captured Americans.
Washington's close friend William Crawford was captured while leading an expedition against Lenape at Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Crawford had not been at Gnadenhutten but was killed in retaliation.[10]
Captain Charles Bilderback had participated in the Gnadenhutten massacre and was a survivor of the June 1782 Crawford expedition. Seven years later, in June 1789, he was captured by hostile Lenape in Ohio, who killed him.[11] David Williamson, the officer who led the Gnadenhutten massacre, was also a survivor of the Crawford expedition. In 1814, decades after the war, he died in poverty. The leader of the Home Guard at the time was Captain John Hay who on November 24 led an attack on the Delaware.
In 1810, Tecumseh reminded future President William Henry Harrison, "You recall the time when the Jesus Indians of the Delawares lived near the Americans, and had confidence in their promises of friendship, and thought they were secure, yet the Americans murdered all the men, women, and children, even as they prayed to Jesus?"[12]
In 1889, future president Theodore Roosevelt called the atrocity "a stain on frontier character that the lapse of time cannot wash away".[3]
The village site has been preserved and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The state reconstructed a typical mission house and cooper's shop on the site of the village. A monument was erected in honor of those massacred, near the burial mound.

Tax reform is hard. Implementing the tax changes likely to be signed into law this month won't exactly be a walk in the park either.
A top IRS official warned late last week that the IRS will face "a heavy lift" in enacting the coming tax changes for 2018, according to Law360.
"Tax reform for us to implement is going to be really challenging," Kirsten Wielobob, IRS deputy commissioner for services and enforcement, said. "The budget situation doesn't really show strong signs of changing. We are down resources across the agency. We also have systems limitations, because of our aged hardware. This bill is interesting because of the magnitude of the changes as well."
Wielobob said that passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would likely require the IRS to create new withholding tables very quickly and make changes to some 800 different forms and publications. The agency is also likely to see a surge in customer service questions.

Heidelberg Donates Saddlestitcher to Printing Industries of America
KENNESAW, GA—May 5, 2010—Heidelberg USA has donated a Stitchmaster ST 350 saddlestitcher to Printing Industries of America for use in the organization's research and training facility in Sewickley, PA. Installation is scheduled to start in June.
The new saddlestitcher is the latest addition to the wealth of Heidelberg equipment and software previously donated to Printing Industries of America for the purpose of industry education and research. Printing Industries currently has a Speedmaster SM 102 P, Printmaster QM 46, POLAR 137 XT, Stahl B-26 Folder and a Prinect 3.5 workflow solution.
"Appropriate training and education are vital to any company's success," said Mark Bohan, Vice President, Technology and Research for Printing Industries of America. "Heidelberg understands this, and its generous donation of an ST 350 saddlestitcher will go a long way toward ensuring that industry professionals who come to Printing Industries of America to improve their skills continue to receive the highest quality training and education on state-of-the-art equipment at our world-class facility."
"Heidelberg is committed to the cause of graphic arts education at every level. We underscore that commitment with annual donations of money and equipment to a number of institutions—including Printing Industries of America—that are as passionate in their support for our industry as we are," said Jim Dunn, President of Heidelberg USA. "The return on our investment lies in the knowledge that our gift will be used to further opportunities for training and education in the graphic arts."
The professional saddlestitching solution for medium to large editions, Heidelberg's Stitchmaster ST 350 features an intelligent control system as well as an exceptionally high level of operator-friendliness, quality, and reliability. Boasting speeds to 12,000 cycles per hour, product formats from 12 -5/8 x 18-7/8" to 3-3/8 x 5", and automatic synchronization of the saddle chain with the feeders and stitcher, the ST 350 earns high praise from users who appreciate its versatility.
"Can't Think of A Better Investment"
"We do a lot of mailing work for our customers, and our ST 350 saddlestitcher offers us maximum flexibility in this area. The automation enables our operators to do more, but if needed we still have the ability to make fine manual adjustments to keep us up and running through real life job variations," said Jim Hogan, Executive Vice President, Operations, Whitmore Group in Baltimore, a Printing Industries of America/PGAMA member. "It's a well-engineered machine that can adapt in this way. Factor in the total cost of ownership based on productivity over the useful life of the machine, and I can't think of a better investment."

Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater is considered by some as the best prospect among a deep class of quarterbacks in this year's NFL draft. The Raiders just might feel the same way, given they interviewed Bridgewater at the NFL scouting combine.
Bridgewater said Saturday during an interview session with media at the scouting combine in Indianapolis that he feels as if Raiders owner Mark Davis and general manager Reggie McKenzie liked him based on their meeting.
The Raiders finished the season with two inexperienced quarterbacks on their roster — third-year player Terrelle Pryor and undrafted rookie Matt McGloin. They since have signed veteran Trent Edwards.
Even so, McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen admit that the Raiders are far from set at quarterback.
"That's one of the things we've got to ultimately determine," Allen said during his media session in Indianapolis on Thursday. "That's a position that we're going to look at very closely.
"We've got two young quarterbacks that have potential. Hopefully they can develop and reach that next step, but that's obviously a position that we've got to look at."
Hence, the Raiders already met with Bridgewater and likely will meet with several more, if not all, of the top quarterback prospects before the combine ends next week.
That list includes Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, Fresno State's Derek Carr, Central Florida's Blake Bortles and Eastern Illinois' Jimmy Garoppolo.
The Raiders own the rights to the No. 5 pick in the NFL draft in May. They are assured of having a shot at one of the aforementioned quarterbacks.
Bridgewater, Manziel and Bortles are on record as saying they feel as if they are worthy of being taken by the Houston Texans at No. 1.
"Oh, yes, no doubt, I feel that I'm the best quarterback in the draft," Bridgewater said Saturday.
Allen said he isn't sure if the Raiders starting quarterback is on his roster right now.
"I don't know the answer to that yet," Allen said. " …The quarterback position is the backbone of your football team, so we have to make sure that when we go out there this year that we've put ourselves in the best position to have success with the quarterback position."

One of the first steps to getting on the water with your new boat is to have a vehicle rack that can transport it. While some SUVs come with factory rails and/or racks, many don't and as far as cars go, you'll more than likely have nothing at all. If you have a naked roof waiting to get dressed up, then this article is for you!
The first thing to finding the right roof rack is to ask yourself how many boats you will be carrying and how much you will be willing to spend. Then you'll need to find a rack that meets these needs and is compatible with your vehicle. We've outlined three different base rack systems below that we hope will get you started on finding the best fitting rack for you.
Temporary Pad & Strap Systems
The bottom line: Inexpensive, fast & easy to install system that's adequate for carrying a single boat.
For those who don't have a whole lot to haul or money to spend, a foam and strap system is something to consider. These temporary rack systems involve straps that circle through the inside of your car along the roof and over the top, where they are attached to foam padding. Quick and easy to install and remove, these racks are great at carrying a single boat. However, it is important to keep in mind that the foam pads are usually located around the middle of your roof so this is where weight and pressure will be coming down. If your car's roof has a sensitive area like a sun roof, you'll want to see if these can be installed around it, otherwise a foam and strap system might not be a good fit for you.
We offer four different pad and strap systems: Malone Canoe Carrier, Malone Kayak Carrier, Malone Handi Roof Rack, & the Quick Sports Strap Roof Magnum.
Basic Cross Bar Systems
The bottom line: Your average kayak car rack, great for hauling heavy loads and compatible with a number of accessories.
If you're looking for something that can hold more than just a single boat and aren't interested in spending extra on features, than think about some of our basic bar systems. These systems involve installing four foot pads or towers along the roof of your car and then connecting a cross bar between each pair. A common misconception is that the installation of these are complicated and permanent, when in fact they are fairly easy to install and are considered temporary though can be left on permanently if chosen. Because of the tower/footpad system, these racks can hold much more compared to the pad and strap systems and even most factory racks – averaging somewhere between 150 and 300 pound load capacities. Finally, these bars are compatible with a wide range of accessories ranging from load assists to cradles, all of which can be found here.
We currently carry three different crossbar options: Thule Load Bar with Thule Foot Pack, Seattle Sports Sherpak, Malone Universal Cross Rails & the Yakima Crossbars with Yakima Q Towers.
Premium Cross Bar Systems
The Bottom Line: They cost a little extra but are sturdy, look good and make almost no noise compared to the basic cross bar systems.
If you want all the extra features and are willing to spend the money, look no further. These are the newest and most top of the line base racks, with sleeker, aerodynamic designs meant to reduce driving noise (it is significant) and increase fuel efficiency. Otherwise, these systems are very similar to their less expensive siblings as they are temporary but can be left on permanently, are compatible with most accessories and can hold on average between two and three hundred pounds.
We currently carry two different premium crossbar options: Yakima Whispbar and the Thule Aeroblade w/ Thule Rapid Traverse Footpack.
Each rack is different and fits various makes and models differently. Check Thule's?utm_source=ackblog&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=blog and Yakima's fit guides to see how one of their racks might fit your vehicle. Finally, once you've chosen and installed your base rack, you might be interested in rack accessories. We offer a number of them here?utm_source=ackblog&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=blog but look for a blog soon that will detail more about each type. Thanks for reading and if you have any comments or questions remember to share them below! – Joseph@ACK

Major clash looms over West Side plan
BY MICHAEL SAUL and DAVID SALTONSTALL
June 22, 2004
Get ready for a wild, wild fight over Manhattan's far West Side.
The city kicked off a likely raucous, seven-month review of its proposal to redevelop the far West Side yesterday by releasing a mostly upbeat assessment of the plan's environmental impacts.
The sweeping, multibillion-dollar makeover would extend the No. 7 subway line, add 24 acres of parks, build a new Jets stadium and create a towering new commercial corridor within a 40-block area, from 30th to 42nd Sts. and Seventh to 11th Aves.
"The result is a plan that will transform the area into a place where future generations will clamor to live, work, invest and visit," proclaimed City Planning Commissioner Amanda Burden.
The stadium alone would cost $1.4 billion, and the subway extension $1.8 billion. Not included in the plan is a separate $1.4 billion expansion of the Javits Center. Yesterday's draft environmental review attempts to gauge the plan's impact on everything from traffic and air to the number of homes and businesses that would fall under the bulldozer.
But critics of the plan, which relies on $600 million in taxpayer dollars to build the new Jets stadium, immediately slammed the review as a whitewash.
"It looks like they haven't listened to anyone in the last two years," said John Fisher, head of the Clinton Special District Coalition, a neighborhood group opposed to the stadium. "They're intent on ramming this thing through."
The draft study found that the West Side overhaul would "dramatically improve neighborhood character" by transforming an "underutilized urban landscape" into a "lively, 24-hour" community.
Broadway theater owners would be helped, not hurt, by the added traffic, the report asserts - a view not shared by some theater owners.
And while 225 businesses with 4,269 employees would have to be evicted to make way for new development, the businesses "do not collectively represent substantial economic value to the city," the report stated. Another 139 people would lose their homes, it added.
Much of the report's traffic analyses looked at worst-case scenarios: A simultaneous Jets football game, Madison Square Garden concert and a convention at Javits. The report concluded that while most everyday traffic could be absorbed in the neighborhood, such "perfect storm" scenarios would cause major backups at a handful of intersections.
The draft also concluded that building a new Jets stadium in Queens, as some have suggested, would be just as expensive as in Manhattan. The only difference, the report added, is the Jets are willing to contribute $800 million toward the Manhattan site.
