2014 NFL Mock Draft
By: Robert Davis | Updated: 11/28
Jacksonville - Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville
The Blaine Gabbert experiment is over. And Chad Henne isn't the answer either.
Tampa Bay - Jadaveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina
The draft's biggest game changer would be a welcomed addition to the Bucs defensive front.
Atlanta - Jake Matthews, OT, Texas AM
Injuries have taken it's toll on the Falcons this year, but they should bounce back strong next year. Upgrading the left tackle position will be a priority, and landing the draft's top tackle would make a lot of sense.
Minnesota - Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
Three players have starter under center for the Vikings this year, and none appear to be the long term answer. Mariota's upside and dual threat ability would be hard to pass on at this point.
Houston - Anthony Barr, OLB, Houston
Brooks Reed's sack totals have declined each year, and he could move inside to help there. Pairing Barr with JJ Watt would be terrifying for opposing offense. A QB may be a need, but unless one of the top two slide, it won't likely be with this spot.
Buffalo - Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan
A true left tackle has been a need for years. Adding Lewan would allow Cordy Glenn to move to right tackle or even guard, more natural positions for him.
Pittsburgh- Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama
As Ben Roethlisberger gets older, the need to protect his blind side gets more important. Kouandjio has very good natural tools, a lot of experience, and is still refining his game. The sky is the limit.
St. Louis(Was) - Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame
A defensive tackle may not be the most glaring need, but you can never have enough talented 300lbers. Or in Nix's case, 330lbs. Nix commands a double team on every snap, and would give the Rams a tremendous young interior defensive line rotation. Having two first round picks allows them to go best player available at this point.
Oakland - Marqise Lee, WR, USC
Lee has been banged up and dropped a few passes, but he'll get that ironed out. He's the most explosive wide out in the draft, and has legitimate go to ability. The Raiders may be tempted to look at Brett Hundley here, but upgrading the talent around the QB gets the nod first.
NY Giants - CJ Moseley, LB, Alabama
When the Giants were contenders, they had front seven defenders that could run and make plays. While DE was a strength, so was the linebacker position. Moseley is the type of player that can lead a defense because of his intelligence and leadership skills, but can also chase the the football and make plays as well as any in this draft.
St. Louis - Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama
This may be a bit high, but the Rams can afford to reach for a need with two first rounders. Clinton-Dix is head and shoulders above the rest of the class at the free safety position, so anyone that is in need of one, better do it early.
Cleveland - Brett Hundley, QB, UCLA
Brandon Weeden has turned out to be a wasted first rounder just two years ago. It's time to find a long term answer, and Hundley's dual threat ability would give them a new element to their offense. Hundley may need a little time to adjust, but he gives the team a QB as gifted as any in this class.
Miami - Cameron Erving, OT, Florida St
Offensive tackle was a need before the bullying situation, and the line is now down two more players. Incognito and Martin may never suit up for the Phins again, so upgrading the talent on the line is a must. Erving is a tremendous athlete that continues to improve, and could be as good as any tackle from this draft class.
Baltimore - Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
Watkins is the best player available and arguably the drafts top wide receiver. Joe Flacco needs weapons, so this pick should be made relatively quick.
Tennessee - Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, CB, Oregon
With the emergence of running quarterbacks the past two years, corners that can stop the run become a priority. Ekpre-Olomu is a quality cover man, but willing in run support as well.
San Diego - Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson
The Chargers use to have tremendous talent coming off the edges on defense, but no longer. Injuries have decimated their depth on the edge. Beasley is an explosive edge rusher that is as gifted as any pass rusher in the draft. He may need time to develop the rest of his skills, but he can rush the passer from day one.
Philadelphia Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, CB, Oregon
With Nick Foles taking off as the QB, the Eagles can address the secondary with this pick. Ekpre-Olomu is a quality cover man, but can also help in run support, which is a necessity in todays NFL.
Green Bay - Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina
The unfortunate injury to Jermichael Finley may have forced the Packers hand this off season. Finley wasn't a lock to return, and his season ending neck injury will definitely push the Pack towards a tight end upgrade. Ebron is a fantastic receiver and will cause major matchup problems in space.
Chicago - Stephon Tuitt, DL, Notre Dame
Tuitt is best suited at DT for the Bears, where he'll provide them a pocket collapsing presence up the middle. But he can also bounce out to the edge at times, giving the team some flexibility depending on the opponent.
Arizona - Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas AM
Carson Palmer is only a stop gap solution, so a long term answer will be sought on draft day. Manziel will be heavily scrutinized around the draft, but his playmaking ability is undeniable.
Dallas - Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida St.
Transitioning from a 3-4 to the 4-3 is a tough task to accomplish is one year, especially with aging defenders in the front seven. Pressure up the middle is necessary for Monte Kiffin's defense to work, and Jernigan brings a lot of quickness and athleticism to the position.
NY Jets - De'Antony Thomas, RB/WR, Oregon
Thomas may not have a defined position but he is lightning in a bottle. For an offense lacking speed and playmaking ability, there isn't a better addition. The Jets were rumored to be in love with Tavon Austin last year but the Rams jumped in front to select him. Thomas brings a lot of the same open field ability, but can also carry the ball out of the backfield.
Cincinnati - Khalil Mack, LB, Buffalo
Mack is a physical specimen will all around skills. He could blow up at the combine and go even higher than this, but the Bengals would be ecstatic if he were still on the board at this point.
Detroit - Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma St.
Gilbert has bounced back after a tough junior year, and is rising as a prospect every week. He has all the skills to be a shut down corner at the next level, and the Lions would love to add that type of talent to their secondary.
Carolina - Antonio Richardson, OT, Tennessee
A lot of the talent around Cam Newton is aging, especially Jordan Gross at left tackle. Grabbing a young tackle to ensure Cam Newton can spend time in the pocket will be a top priority this off season.
Cleveland(Indy) - Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio St.
After landing a QB with their first pick, they opt for a corner here to pair with Joe Haden. Roby hasn't had the shut down year expected, but he's still a gifted prospect.
San Francisco - Mike Evans, WR, Texas AM
The WR position still is a need. Evans isn't the fastest receiver, but at 6'4 225, he doesn't need to be. Teams would have a lot of trouble defending Vernon Davis and Evans in the red zone.
New England - Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota
Depth at DT has been decimated by injuries this year, and could be the single biggest issue the Patriots face on their quest for a title. They're starting two undrafted free agents, with a third in the rotation and just traded for Isaac Sopoaga. Adding more talent to the defensive tackle position will definitely be on the must list this off season.
New Orleans - Loucheiz Purifoy, CB, Florida
The pass rush and corner position seem to be on the Saints wish list every off season. This year, they address the corner spot with Purifoy, adding some length and athleticism to the unit.
Kansas City - Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech
What the Chiefs have been able to accomplish with limited weapons in the passing game has been amazing. Adding a big, athletic target like Amaro would be a huge boost. His presence over the middle would not only give Alex Smith a big target, but would help soften coverage on the outside and over the top of the defense.
Seattle - Dominique Easley, DT, Florida
Pete Carroll isn't afraid to take a risk. Easley's season ended early with a knee injury, but was a potential top 15 pick prior the injury. His quickness and athleticism on the interior line stands out, and Carroll loves great athletes.
Denver - Jason Verrett, CB, TCU
The Broncos are trying to win as much as possible now with Peyton Manning, so upgrading the corner position will be looked at this off season. Verrett can play now and is arguably the top cover man in the draft, but is a bit smaller than others at his position.

Anell Lopez is a latina cutie with a big bouncy booty. What I like about her is that she's always smiling. And I mean always. She's always in a good mood. She shows up on set ready to work, does not complain and enjoys having sex on camera. She's really a pleasure to work with.
She's with CJ Wright in this scene. It was actually my first time working with him. Very cool kat. We had some technical difficulties as you can imagine, but we pulled the scene through. Enjoy some thick latina booty.

O.o So rather than allowing us to come to a conclusion on how to solve the situation on the matter, you close my thread too? Spam is filled with pages of Nats Crap, but a thread where people were discussing ( limited to that thread ) this one thing gets closed.
Maybe threads involving "Nat's __ insert random topic here" should be locked. And also Bandwagons too.
I'm still at a loss as to making sense as to why that One thread which was harmless was closed xD. And mine too >.>

If you assume that "traffic redirection" and an "interception proxy" are good things, then you might well worry about the "lack of HTTP/1.1 compliance for proxy caches" or whether "interception proxies break client cache directives." You will not question their desirability or even their long term utility in the face of actions by users to protect their privacy or defend against censorship. There are also good uses for interception, I think that ONGs, churchs, and other organizations and people will want to become Internet trusters soon, to defend their values throught Internet, and not only values there will be also fun aplications of trusters. The point is that the truster must be selected by the user not by authoritarian impositon!. i.e. I talk about ecology. May be the first step of a ecologist truster will be to devolop a black list of companies that are very agresive agains nature, the people that join this truster will be able to have censorship of this companies in order to presure them to change their behavior. Perhaps later they will think that to get some ecological level is not enought, that they want to develop a ecological ranking so people can transmit the market the message that they must compite to be the eco-leader on their sector if they want these customers, that is to get the strenth of compititivity aplaied to ecology. (Companies should heritage values from their supliers, in order to avoid the trick that a very dirty industrie uses a very clean distribuitor for their products, so let the end customer to pull all the prodution and ditribution chain to ecologist positions) This respect companies privacy if you don´t want an ecological evaluation Ok you get a cero!. Whith ranking values people will be able to weight them from different mix of trusters that they select. May be, later trusters will incrise their interactivity with their customers, things like this information is Ok if that happends, or this information is worthy combenid with this other, I don´t have idea of trusters future evolution but almost sure that they will be adding more inteligence and interactivity to their system. At 10:00 06/04/00 -0300, Marin Montenegro wrote: The humanity is really in front of the product of the knowledge of some persons and is trying to save your houses of the flood with a small glass. As world problems are getting more and more complex we don´t need some iluminated people, with need everybodi feedback in order to see the all picture, and perhaps trusters will be a good way to organize the knowlege of the people, perhaps ecological trusters were unable to stop climatic change, but sure they will be much more usefull than TO BURN GAS-STATIONS!. As long as doesn´t look viable that trusters send huge updated databases to users, I think that the information interception has to be done at ISP, anyway I think that interception must be balence with the information owner desires, He (I don´t write the slash he/she because is obius) has the right that his information don´t pass trusters cesorship/filters/inteligent system or whatever, as well as the user has the right to don´t attend any information that don´t cross his trusters, of course there are positons in between i.e. allowing the truster to put labels but not to change the publicity ...

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Snowboarder Magazine's Superpark 17 returned to Mt Bachelor, and this time we came in full force. Arnette was heavily representing at the "invite only" event, where our riders charged everything in their path: Andrew Brewer, Alek Ostreng, Colt Morgan, Red Gerard, Russell Winfield, Sam Taxwood, Riley Nickerson, Johnny Lazz, Sammy Spiteri, Matty Mo, Zac Marben, Ben Bilodeau, Dustin Craven, Nick Visconti, Nial Romanek, Ben Bogart, Anto Chamberlan, Ethan Deiss, and Niko Cioffi were so on fire the snow was melting behind them.
Since we had such a heavy gang all in one place, we brought our film crew to make an episode for our upcoming MPD Snow video series. More news on that soon, until then here's a recap from the week-long event, with a silly screen-scribble flare-
Sammy Spits picking his nose, while sliding it down a rail. Multitasking at it's finest.
Staxwood went so big, he landed out of this picture.
Day 1 video starts off with Sam Taxwood, showing why at the end of the week he was awarded the prestigious "CHARGER" award, & also a clip of Sammy Spiteri with his classic smooth style.
Sam didn't misfire this blaster air.
Like the dinosaurs, Red will grow from all the air he gets. It's just science.
No shirts, no shoes, no service. Sam was spinning so fast he couldn't read that.
Somebody told Riley there was a party at the street scene. He was confused.
Day 2 video featuring Niko Cioffi jumping dangerously close through the rail gaps, Sam Taxwood going huge off the jumps- shirtless, & Red Gerard getting crazy in the air.
Day 3 video featuring Riley Nickerson and Sammy Spiteri hammering the street course, Sam Taxwood doing one of the biggest airs of the week, Ethan Deiss jumping farther off a rail than most kickers and then Spencer Schubert doing a frontblunt pretzel 270 of it too, Zac Marben hitting the big step-up with his perfect style, & Red Gerard stepping up to the bigboy gap.
Day 4 video opening up with a shirtless Spencer Schubert flipping over the stair, Niko Cioffi spinning over a tree, Zac tweaking out a classic Marben method revert, & Dustin Craven going blind over the gap of doom.
Niko Cioffi was up so early getting photos, his party friends were just getting home from the club.
Red Gerard can run to be president of the United States in 23 years.
Sam deserved the CHARGER award. He should charge his friends for a new t-shirt.
Day 5 video featuring a hilarious intro with tall Spencer Schubert & little Red Gerard trading snowboards, then Niko Cioffi, and Red again playing with smokebombs.

IDA INDIA is a non profit grass root level animal protection organisation, dedicated towards establishing and defending the rights of all non - human living creatures.
It aims at:
In Defense of Animals, India was born on 31st October 1996. Immediately the project of neutering of street dogs was taken up. A small beginning was made in March 1997 in two garages of a residential colony in a suburb of Mumbai. For three years IDA INDIA worked in small make shift camps. With the intervention of the Mumbai High Court, the Corporation handed over the premises at Deonar to IDA INDIA on 22nd December 1999.
With the intervention of the Bombay High Court, the Municipal Corporation handed over erstwhile Dog pound at Deonar to us on 22nd December 1999. After refurbishing the place, we started the centre from 1st February 2000, to spay / neuter street animals and render treatment to ill / injured ones.
The twin city of Mumbai viz. Navi Mumbai did not have a neutering center for dogs for several years. Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) handed over their erstwhile Dog Pound to us to start the spay / neuter and render treatment for street animals in Navi Mumbai. Thus started our second centre from 26th July 2006.
Being an eco-sensitive zone, vehicles are not permitted on the hill station of Matheran, hence weak, emaciated horses are used to ferry people and cargo up and down the hill. While more than 600 horses are working in this region, there is not a single veterinarian or an animal center in the region. We therefore started this centre to help these animals Now our staff also holds camps in nearby towns of Kalyan and Titwala, where horses are used to ferry passengers. Sadly, due to lack of funds, this vital service had to be stopped in end of April, 2011.
We hold regular check up camps, treat ill / injured animals and are actively involved in sensitizing "owners" towards their animals. Our vet is available for emergency calls 24 x 7 to help these animals.
Several small Municipal Councils in Raigadh District have started approaching IDA India to set up spay / neuter camps in their towns. We held the first camp at Matheran, and neutered / spayed 475 dogs in 4 months between February & May 2008. We now propose to move the camp to other towns. Presently, we are working in the towns of Dahanu and Lonavala.
"Always....In Defense of Animals."
At IDA India, we believe that our moral duty as humane individuals, is to help & assist the animals to the best of our ability. We have no major philosophies, but we believe that animals have a right to food, shelter, comfort, love and life like we do. We were perhaps born to alleviate the suffering of these neglected, abused, four legged; slithering and feathered friends...our co-inhabitants, who came to this planet before us, our soul mates from the animal kingdom.
Maybe we are not doing enough for you, but we are doing our best; leaving no stone unturned within our limited capacities. Bear with us...and we will not give up till our last breath doing what we know best to do....taking care of you. We love you all!

I don't know just what you consider new movies but last year I was getting movies that were released in 2010 both on disk and streamed and this year I have streamed a number of movies that were released in 2011 and I consider that movies released in the current year as about as new as you can get them. Of course, the majority of the movies that I watch are much older since I have not gone to a movie theater since the 1970s and there are a number of movies made years ago that I consider the greatest of all time. In particular I would choose "Day of the Jackal" (1973),"Das Boot" (1981),"The Kingdom" (2007) as 3 of the best movies of all time (& I strongly recommend watching the additional information on the DVDs before watching them for greater insight).

KPMG's International Case Competition (KICC) is a chance for students to challenge yourself to solve a real business issue and an opportunity to meet new people across the globe.
Corporate Citizenship
KPMG firms work with clients to encourage action in key areas such as sustainability, international development, human rights, anti-bribery and anti-corruption. We celebrate these achievements, and the countless other successes that our people have achieved this past year.
At KPMG, we are committed to tackling the problems that impact our societies and communities. To create sustainable and valuable change, firms and professionals around the world focus on creating strong and well-developed long-term engagements and partnerships with their local communities.
Here are some examples:
We believe that we have a duty to mentor, train and support a new generation of professionals and help establish a commitment to the principles of responsible capitalism. That is why, across more than 30 countries, our member firms support Enactus, a university-based organization that encourages students to make a difference in their communities while developing their skills to become socially responsible business leaders.
In 2012, KPMG served as the presenting sponsor of the Enactus World Cup and as a Global Champion for the organization, focused on building stronger relationships between business, educational institutions and students. Around the world, our leaders, our people and – increasingly – our clients are committed to dedicating their skills, time and resources to supporting this worthy initiative.
KPMG in Canada has partnered with the social entrepreneurs at Free The Children to support the empowerment of youth and families in Canada and internationally. Aligning with the Global Development Initiative, KPMG in Canada is supporting the economic empowerment of three rural communities in the state of Rajasthan. KPMG is helping to empower women and the broader communities to break the cycle of poverty by becoming self-sufficient.
Long after the world's eyes had moved on from the Sichuan Earthquake in 2008, KPMG in China has been working to help restore and improve the educational and community facilities in the stricken zone. To date, the firm has helped support the development of a community center in Pengzhou, Sichuan and two schools in Cheng County, Gansu.
KPMG in India works with local schools and social organizations to provide renewable energy and – ultimately – to improve the quality of school programs. Since 2008, KPMG in India has supported 11 solar projects at two local colleges, three schools and six social organizations.
KPMG in Australia is an active participant in Jawun, a program of capacity building and skills training within the country's aboriginal communities. Over the past year, more than 115 KPMG professionals have each spent 5 weeks living in these communities and working with community leaders.
KPMG in the UK is supporting the needs of eight schools serving disadvantaged communities across the country through Business Class, a program run by a major UK non-governmental organization (NGO). The program provides a long-term strategic approach to school improvement. Clusters of local businesses and schools work together to improve governance and leadership, learning and employability in schools which need it the most. Support ranges from training for teachers to re-building a school's reputation and developing the employability skills and career awareness of young people. Volunteer engagement with students involves mentoring, interview practice and the opportunity to learn more about KPMG.
One of the biggest challenges facing corporate America is workforce readiness. The gaps in workforce readiness are perhaps most evident among low-income youth. To combat this, KPMG in the US has teamed with the National Academy Foundation (NAF) since 2010, to strengthen high school accounting education at its Academies of Finance (AOF) nationwide. KPMG guides and supports NAF's accounting course sequence to ensure industry relevance, including the professional development for teachers who implement the curriculum. To date, nearly 30 offices are engaged and hundreds of KPMG employees in the US have had the opportunity to share their knowledge with the students through work-based learning experiences such as job shadowing, mock interviews, guest speaking and resume/portfolio reviews.

This is currently a restriction that is imposed by the forum itself, but i'm sure it can be looked into. If this is what you are talking about, please reply confirming this and i'll get the coders to look into it
Yes that is what would be nice especially when people solve their problems
If you mean the ability to edit the thread title... you only have a certain period of time in which to do that. Afterwards, the title becomes set until a mod changes it. Did you need something changed?
No it just would be convenient for people to find solved problem and less hard on moderators if they could change it themselves unlimited
So maybe cut down on having to repeat a solution over and over again especially for the ones that don't search

The drumbeat to Friday's all important U.S. employment report is getting louder. Anticipation continues to rise as Wall Street expects the jobs report to confirm the economy was on stronger footing last month, adding more than 200,000 jobs for the third month in a row. But ahead of that data new figures released on Thursday show a surprise uptick in new applications for jobless benefits last week. Nevertheless unemployment claims are hovering near a four-year low.

A press conference was held two days later, except Mangano wasn't there; the New York Islanders organized a press conference at 620 Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center, the franchise's new rink as of 2015.
Founded in 1972, the New York Islanders have called the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum home for 40 years. The organization brought the Stanley Cup to Long Island four times in four consecutive seasons in the early 1980s. The team's current lease at the Coliseum expires in 2015, and until then, team owner Charles Wang said he intends to keep the Islanders in Uniondale and honor the existing lease. Wang said the recently signed Barclays Center agreement is an "iron-clad" 25-year lease.
"We have tried very hard to keep the Islanders in their original home," Wang said, adding, "I want to specifically thank Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano and his team for their help trying to find a solution to keep the Islanders there. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do that."
Wang noted that he will remain the sole owner of the franchise and its team name, logo and colors will not change.
"We have come up with a solution that really benefits the Islander fans and what we are trying to do. We are staying in New York and are very happy with the decision we made," Wang said.
Over the past several years, elected officials in Nassau County, the Town of Hempstead, the Islanders ownership and local residents failed to reach a compromise on possible renovations to the Nassau Coliseum or methods to fund a new complex.
"This is a sad day for Nassau County and unfortunately another crippling hit to our local economy. We must immediately start working on new ideas for the Hub so that the Coliseum does not sit as a crumbling eyesore for generations," said Nassau County Democratic Leader Kevan Abrahams, who called the 2015 relocation "an epic failure of leadership at all levels."
Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano, who Wang said was "surprised and obviously very disappointed" with the news, was planning (as of press time) to announce the selection of an economic development team to re-energize the Hub/Mitchel Field area.
"The Nassau County Hub is home to the most promising job-creating opportunities in the nation. It is my intention to ensure that the taxpayers of Nassau County benefit from the economic redevelopment of 77 acres of land that sit within the most dynamic county in the nation," Mangano said.
According to National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman, the Barclays Center's capacity is officially listed for hockey at 14,500, which will be the smallest in the league behind the 15,004 seats in the Winnipeg Jets' MTS Centre, which sold out every home game last season.
The Nassau Coliseum's average attendance last season was 13,191, according to ESPN.com, while the arena's capacity is 16,200, Bettman noted. The commissioner explained that the Barclays Center could likely accommodate an additional 500 seats by the time the Islanders drop the puck on Brooklyn ice in 2015.
"Winnipeg is doing quite well in a building [of similar capacity]. The intimacy of this building is going to make watching hockey a terrific experience," Bettman said.
Chris Botta, a former public relations executive with the Islanders, said on Mike Lupica's ESPN Radio show that Brooklyn represents the end of an era for Islanders fans here in Nassau County.
"The Islanders are all but done … with Nassau County, which is obviously a very, very sad day for fans, especially in that area. The good news for fans is that this could've been a lot worse. At least instead of taking a plane to go see the team, they could take a train," Botta said.
Before the Oct. 24 announcement, rumors of possible destinations for the Islanders included Kansas City, Seattle and Ontario, Canada.
"The benefits of making this move are so tremendous, not just for Brooklyn, but for the team. They absolutely cannot care how many seats there are in the place," said Lupica.
While Wang proudly stepped up to the microphone at the Barclays Center on Oct. 24, that Wednesday marked an otherwise somber date – the 39th day of the current lockout for Wang's Islanders and the nearly 700 players from the other 29 teams around the league.
The National Hockey League Players Association union and the league's previous collective bargaining agreement, which had been ratified in 2005 following the loss of the entire 2004 season, expired Sept. 15 and a new agreement hasn't been reached since then, resulting in the owners locking out their players.
Both sides have met on several occasions but Commissioner Bettman said the two parties are still far apart on a new deal, which will eventually decide how revenue is split between the players and owners, certain free agency restrictions, the honoring of existing contracts and a handful of other issues.
"The union has chosen not to engage on our proposal or to make a new proposal of their own. So unfortunately it looks like the 82-game season is not going to be a reality. Things seem to be not progressing as we'd like and it's disappointing," Bettman said.
The ongoing battle between the players' union and the league has received steady coverage in the media, as players have taken to social media to vent their frustrations.
"I keep hearing that both sides have to give in a negotiation. What has the NHL given the players so far? Nothing, only asking for more," Montreal Canadiens forward Lars Eller said on his Twitter page.
Islanders' forward Michael Grabner went beyond the 140-character limit of Twitter and created his own blog to express his thoughts on the situation.
"There are some players who went through the last lockout and made big concessions to the owners and now they are back looking for more. The owners got the deal they wanted in 2005 so should the players have to give back more to them again? On top of that, there have been seven straight years of record revenues for the NHL. What are the odds that in four to seven years or however long the next CBA will be, they are going to ask for money back again?" Grabner said.
Islander fan Nicole Kingston, 25, of Mineola, has been attending games since she was 7 years old and is one of few fans with team experience on both a professional and personal level.
"My initial reaction was a combination of relief and excitement. Having worked for the Lighthouse Project and followed the entire Coliseum issue very closely for such a long time, I knew that Nassau County was not a realistic option anymore for the team.
"I think real Islander fans understand the situation the team was unfortunately forced into because of the politics in Nassau County and know that this is the best option for their future. We haven't stopped supporting the team through all the rough years, and we definitely won't stop now," said Kingston, whose father plans on renewing his season tickets in 2015.
While local fans living close to the Nassau Coliseum will have a longer commute to games in 2015, the distance will be even greater for the Suffolk County fan contingent.
"I think the small percentage of fans in Suffolk who will find it difficult to commute to Brooklyn will be outweighed by fans who will be able to get to Barclays via mass transit, those who work in the city and new fans who will want to see hockey in a new arena. A standalone arena in the middle of the suburbs not accessible by mass transit is not economically viable anymore," Kingston said.
Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos, who follows hockey, said he was disappointed in Wang's decision but believes the county must move forward in seeking a new plan for the Hub to avoid any potential negative economic impact.
"For too long, the Veterans Coliseum has languished and Nassau County has not realized its full potential. The Islanders leaving is a direct result of past failures to build a state-of-the-art sports and entertainment center.
"The economic impact to Nassau County, however, will be marginal if the proper steps are taken to ensure the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum seats are filled in 2015 as they were during the 2004 NHL lockout and during the current NHL lockout. In 2004 the Islander games were replaced with concerts and other events without economic loss to the county," Maragos said.

Once a week, Robert Blume goes to Virpa Convenience on Carman Ave. to buy breakfast and lottery tickets. When he bought his Mega Millions and Powerball tickets on Sunday, Oct. 20, it was just like any other day. But when he went in to Virpa to check his tickets later that week, life changed forever.
He won $7 with his Mega Millions ticket, and then ran his Powerball ticket through the ticket check. Instead of the usual reading of "Sorry You Are Not A Winner," he saw a message that said 'Big Winner. See Retailer.'

"Art is beautiful. It's all around us and makes you see the world in a different way. Anyone can learn to paint, it just takes time, but when you do, you never look at clouds the same way or water the same way or even at the beach the same way." These are the words of Westbury's own artist and teacher Laura Meshover. Her captivating oil paintings exhibit the very essence of photo realism.
"I always knew I wanted to be an artist even from way back at a young age," explained Meshover. "I used to take painting lessons in my neighbor's basement when I was a little girl. You can't do that kind of stuff anymore," she said with a laugh.

The wrestling team at Westbury High School looks forward to a fresh start this season. Last year, they struggled to stay atop the Nassau Conference, but this time, the team has a lot of valuable pieces that are crucial for them to flip the script and potentially climb to the top of the standings.
One of the shining stars in the school's team this year is the dominating Raeco Jackson. For the past two seasons, Jackson has had an extraordinary winning record in the 113 and 120 weight classes. "Last year, my record was 28-5 and the year before that it was 30-5," he said. With a total record of 58 wins and 10 losses, he has won 85 percent of his matches. His impressive feat helped Jackson receive all-county honors last season.

Two gardens, amazing difference
I claimed a little half-plot in our community garden at work. They've been composting (three bins), growing things in the beds, and finally decided to give employees a chance to garden there. Well. I planted some sweet 100 cherry tomatoes, some serrano chiles, nasturtiums, and a row of jerusalem artichokes. They have a great volunteer there and he and the grounds crew supervisor know a lot about gardening. I split the starts I got between home and woirk. The work garden plants were pretty puny for about a month. I kept on using Eleanor's VF-11 as a foliar spray, once a week, and at the beginning, the home tomatoes grew faster and threw out tomatoes faster. However, after it warmed up, I noticed that my work garden plants had blown up and looked superior to the ones, athome, which had begun bearing earlier. I think that using the VF11 is the reason my tomatoes at work stripped out the ones at home. It's easy to put some vf11 in a foliar sprayer, go to the garden, fil it with water, and spray them, I'm pretty sure that the VF11 is the key to my work garden's incredible growth. They were the puniest for a few weeks. I've heard that VF11 is deficient in an ingredient, but I would have to say that in the crappy Arizona soil, VF11 is an amazing addition to one's fertilizing repertoire.
Thanks for sharing!
Have you ever tried plasticulture? If not, you may want to give it a shot. With plasticulture you will double or triple your yields as well as have an earlier harvest all while using less than half the water, half the fertilizer, less disease from soil that splashes up on the leaves of the plants, less than half the work (no more weeding) (no more watering if you use a water timer), and less money.
Now that I've been doing plasticulture every year for four years and have experienced the amazing results, I will never go back to the traditional home gardening method. I say home gardening method because farmers and commercial growers have been using plasticulture for ages, but, for some reason, it just hasn't caught on in home gardens yet. I hope it does.
re: Jerseygirl111
Plasticulture is the use of plastic mulch (ultra-thin black or white plastic) in conjunction with a drip irrigation system. It is very cheap to buy everything you'd need and very easy to set up yet the results are simply incredible.
I read where you posted that you've already planted your garden for this summer so, unfortunately, it's too late for plasticulture now. Yes, it's possible, but I'd say just look to future plantings to do with plasticulture.
I'm very sorry, but the soonest I'll be able to explain, step-by-step, how to set up your garden using plasticulture will be early next week. If you're interested in this detailed information, I'm happy to share it with you. If you're not, just let me know. It won't bother me.

This Sucks Top Tip Free Money Related Articles See all England news England midfielder Gareth Barry admits the team have no excuses for another poor performance at the World Cup. The Three Lions were booed off the pitch on Friday night as they followed up the 1-1 draw against the United States with a goalless draw with Algeria. But while some are blaming the weight of expectation on the team, made third favourites by bookmakers ahead of the tournament, Barry insists it is no reason for another abject showing. "I don't think it is right for us to use the excuse of the weight of expectation," he told FIFA.com. "Every World Cup, every team here is under pressure because the whole nation is depending on them to do well. So we're not using that as an excuse." The players were booed off the pitch by supporters and Wayne Rooney vented his frustration to a television camera, hitting out at the jeers. But Barry admits the travelling fans had a right to boo, saying: "I can understand why the fans booed. "They've travelled a long way and spent a lot of money to stay here so they expect a better performance. So hopefully we can give them a positive result on Wednesday." The Manchester City player knows the team must now deliver against Slovenia or face an early flight home. "We know we're good enough to beat them, but it's a tough ask and we need to go out there and perform. "We know we need to play better. The chance is there on Wednesday which is a good thing because it's just around the corner. We need to improve and we're capable of doing that. "It's just like the second round already because it's effectively a knockout game, but we need to win the game in 90 minutes." England are 1/2 with SkyBet, Boylesports, totesport and Betfred to beat the Slovenians, who know a draw (10/3 Victor Chandler, Coral) will put them into the last 16. A Slovenia win is 7/1 (Bet365, William Hill).

BS in Computer Science and Engineering
Why did you choose to pursue a BS in Computer Science and Engineering?
When I was younger I was interested in being an architect. I wanted to construct buildings that were elegant, concise, and structurally sound. When I was introduced to computer science, I found that designing good software matched my expectations of designing buildings, except that it allowed me to utilize my math and logic skills even more. I felt that being able to understand the theoretical basis for software as well as the actual implementation was important, so I started on the Engineering track and then made the choice for Computer Science and Engineering.
Why did you choose to join Bucknell?
I was initially interested in Bucknell because the College of Engineering at Bucknell is widely regarded as among the best in the nation. Visiting Bucknell really sold me on the university – the campus is beautiful and I could see myself being part of the community here for four years.
What do you most like about the University?
By far the best thing about Bucknell is that the professors are interested in teaching undergraduates. All the professors in the Department of Computer Science, and every department in general, are easily accessible and want to help you succeed in your education.
My favorite subject in Computer Science as of now is efficiency, and as a result, combinatorial optimization problems. Being able to develop efficient solutions relatively quickly to very computationally intensive problems requires that every possible algorithm optimization is used to investigate as many solutions as possible. Outside of computer science, I play on the club rugby team and am a regular on the racquetball courts.

Loading... Life and Fate (1980)by Vasily Grossman
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. I think if you actually get to the last page of Life and Fate Vasily Grossman's masterpiece about Russia during the Great Patriotic War, you should award yourself the Order of Lenin, Second Class. The book is 871 pages long in my Kindle Edition, and it has the rough edges and occasional repetitions of a book that never got the authors final polish that it deserved. And the Russian names – nicknames – pet names and patronymics – will drive you crazy. But I don't care. I loved it. Grossman's story is about the siege of Stalingrad – 1941-1942 – and the Russian soldiers (and German soldiers) who fought it and the Russian civilians who endured it. The hunger, the bombardments, the bureaucracy, the isolation, the madness of combat are all detailed with heart stopping depth and intimacy. Along the way he shows us how the Russian people adjusted to life in a Communist State -- where purity and devotion to the Ideals of Stalin-ism were the most important things – and deviation from the Communist "norm" is the ultimate sin. (Army units go into battle with a commander and a "political commissar"). And Russian paranoia leads to Russian paralysis. Grossman was a Jew and he was very observant to treatment of Jews – both in the Soviet Union and in Germany. (He was one of the first of any nationality to report on the horrors of the German death camps). He follows one of his characters right up into the death chamber – and makes us as witnesses walk along with her step by chilling step. . And on the other hand he can show a Jewish Mathematician with a car and a dacha who works on atomic theory who is hounded for his Jewishness (His brilliant new theorem is criticized for its "Talmudic" bent) He shows us Stalin and Hitler, generals and privates, rich people and poor people – and in the midst of horror and war and suffering gives us moments of surprising generosity and kindness and humanity. It's a grim book with flashes of Russian humor – Stalin wishes aloud he had not had all his best generals shot in 1937 so they could fight for him again at Stalingrad. Stalin's grim visage floats over the book like the eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleberg in "The Great Gatsby" – everything done is done in Comrade Stalin's name and in the hopes that Comrade Stalin would approve. And occasionally Stalin reaches down from his mountaintop and does something godlike and arbitrary. (or someone does it in his name) And in the end, the outnumbered, surrounded, starving Russians encircled the German Panzers and forced them to surrender. It was the turning point of the war. When you have two armies BOTH ordered by their commanders not to retreat. ("Not one step backwards" from Stalin: "Stand or Die" from Hitler) something has got to give. And General Winter always fights on the side of the Russians. And in the last few pages spring comes to Stalingrad and the flowers push up through the rocks and the stones, and you know, Life Goes On. That's not ironic and it's not meant to be. An amazing book that I had never heard of before someone suggested it for my Book Group. Writing so clear and beautiful that it breaks your heart. Characters human and real - even the bad guys. Very highly recommended. A wonder. A sprawling vision of the battle of Stalingrad of WWII, mostly from the Russian side, and paralleling that, a view of the Soviet Union under Stalin, with all its arbitrary power, justified paranoia, labor camps, science institutes, hungry families, bureaucracy, loss and love. And parallel with that, the Jews in Germany and in the death camps, the German army at Stalingrad, the captured Russians in German POW camps. Brilliant, painful, War and Peace for the 20th century. Warning - it's long. Helpful - the chapters are short. Warning - you won't always know where you are at the start of a chapter, but somehow, that is appropriate to the story. Superb overview through literature of Stalingrad, Stalinism, famine, terror, death and quotidian deprivations of every kind. It is the insider's POV, the temper of the author, and his sincere desire to tell the story that really makes this sing. I am now cured of ever again thinking I am a having a hard time. A monumental work, staggering in subject matter and scale, and heart rendingly humane in its vision and details. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the Twentieth Century. Prepare for a difficult read, in every sense of the word. Grossman's novel, never published in his lifetime, is huge and sprawling, with a overloaded cast list (17 pages in my Kindle edition) of Russians and Germans with confusing, exchangable and sometimes maddeningly similar names, and a plot like an untidy ball of twine with strands appearing out of knots and disappearing into ravels. And searingly difficult on the emotions, tortured most in the hauntingly detailed death-camp scenes, but pricked at every turn as the chief characters in the story love, hurt, deceive and misunderstand each other while they scrabble or hunker down to survive the ravages of war amid the secrecy, paranoia and distorted values of Stalin's Russia. So why four stars? Because this is almost a great book, or rather the rough diamond of a great book, with certain characters and episodes that will lodge in your mind and live in your memory as they do in great books. I think Grossman must have had it in mind to write a War and Peace for his time (note the associative title) and if he does not quite achieve that in the round there is enough in the particular to give him a deserved place not so far below Tolstoy and Russia's other truly outstanding writers. I came to this novel through first listening to the BBC's audio adaptation broadcast across a week in the autumn of 2011. Necessarily, the radio version cut out many of the characters and sub-plots of the novel, leaving the essence of Life and Fate, most memorably: the harrowing journey of Sofya Levinton and the boy David to the gas chamber; the betrayal, imprisonment and torture of the 'Bolshevik' commissar Nikolay Krymov; the tribulations of the Shaposhnikov family, especially the head of the household, physicist Viktor Shtrum. It is important to remember that Grossman never had the opportunity to edit his book for publication. The manuscript was 'arrested' by the Soviet authorities in 1961 - even Grossman's typewriter ribbon was confiscated along with his typescript. Though the author (who had shown himself in the past a good Party man) escaped jail, he was told his book would not be published in 200 years, and it may not have been but for the smuggling out of the country of a microfilm of his last draft, which was published in English in 1985. The excellent translation I read is by Robert Chandler. So, buy the book and put plenty of time aside to read it with your fullest attention. Best of luck with the names - my head is still reeling, but it's reeling too with the sheer power of this extraordinary novel. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0099506165, Paperback)Suppressed by the KGB, Life and Fate is a rich and vivid account of what the Second World War meant to the Soviet Union.On its completion in 1960, Life and Fate was suppressed by the KGB. Twenty years later, the novel was smuggled out of the Soviet Union on microfilm. At the centre of this epic novel looms the battle of Stalingrad. Within a world torn apart by ideological tyranny and war, Grossman's characters must work out their destinies. Chief among these are the members of the Shaposhnikov family – Lyudmila, a mother destroyed by grief for her dead son; Viktor, her scientist-husband who falls victim to anti-semitism; and Yevgenia, forced to choose between her love for the courageous tank-commander Novikov and her duty to her former husband. Life and Fate is one of the great Russian novels of the 20th century, and the richest and most vivid account there is of what the Second World War meant to the Soviet Union. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:30:06 -0400) A book judged so dangerous in the Soviet Union that not only the manuscript but the ribbons on which it had been typed were confiscated by the state, Life and Fate is an epic tale of World War II and a profound reckoning with the dark forces that dominated the twentieth century. Interweaving an account of the battle of Stalingrad with the story of a single middle-class family, the Shaposhnikovs, scattered by fortune from Germany to Siberia, Vasily Grossman fashions an immense, intricately detailed tapestry depicting a time of almost unimaginable horror and even stranger hope. Life and Fate juxtaposes bedrooms and snipers' nests, scientific laboratories and the Gulag, taking us deep into the hearts and minds of characters ranging from a boy on his way to the gas chambers to Hitler and Stalin themselves. This novel of unsparing realism and visionary moral intensity is one of the supreme achievements of modern Russian literature.… (more) |
