BOSTON (WHDH) -- Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been fined $10,000 for unnecessary roughness during the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens.
The fine is a result of a play that happened late in the first half last Sunday night.
Brady slid leg-high on Ed Reed, catching the Ravens safety in the thigh with a little extra kick at the end.
No penalty was called on the play, and Reed said Brady later phoned him and apologized.
If anyone can empathize with Brady, it's Reed; the Ravens safety himself was fined over $100,000 for illegal hits this past season.

The Illinois Liquor Control Commission (ILCC) is calling all teens to design a new statewide underage drinking prevention campaign! Illinois youth will get a chance to have their work recognized statewide AND educate the general public about the consequences of underage drinking!
The 2013 Don't Be Sorry Youth Art Contest is designed to change the behavior of those adults who think it is "okay" to give alcohol to minors. That's right, YOUTH will be educating the ADULTS!
Contest applicants will create a logo and slogan for a new statewide educational campaign to be unveiled this April at press events throughout the state. If chosen, your design will be used on a variety of materials – from buttons to billboards! Winning design(s) will convey the "social norming" message that most youth do NOT drink alcohol, and that most adults (including parents, siblings, and those working at liquor establishments) do NOT provide alcohol to minors.
In other words, the message should focus on the positive (ie, "9 in 10 play it safe and wear their seat belts every time") and not the negative ("1 in 10 still don't wear a seat belt"). The winning artwork will replace the "Project Sticker Shock" campaign materials, which employed negative messaging (see www.DontBeSorry.org/DontStickerShock.htm to review these materials).
Below is the judging panel for the youth art contest:
The deadline to submit artwork is February 15, 2013 at 5pm SHARP. Links to all required forms and contest information can be found at the top of this page. For further details, please contact Ted Penesis at 312-814-4802 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Minn. House Eyes Limits to Gun Access, Ownership
A half dozen police chiefs and sheriffs argued Tuesday in a packed Capitol hearing room that Minnesota isn't doing enough to protect against gun violence, kicking off three days of hearings on a host of new proposed limits on firearm ownership.
Hundreds of people from both sides of the debate swarmed the Capitol office building for the hearing, jamming the committee room and several overflow areas a day after President Barack Obama visited Minneapolis to tout his federal gun-control proposals.
"For a whole host of reasons, we're not keeping guns out of the hands of individuals who shouldn't have them," said Dennis Flaherty, executive director of the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association. He was specifically backing a bill to require background checks for all gun purchases in Minnesota, cracking down on the sale of guns at shows, online or through unlicensed, private dealers.
That was just one of a dozen proposed limits on firearm ownership under review in the hearings in front of the House Public Safety Committee. The first day drew hundreds of gun owners and activists sitting alongside activists seeking tougher rules on who gets guns. While gun rights supporters wore buttons that read "Self Defense is a Human Right," activists on the other side had stickers that read, "Minnesotans Against Being Shot."
With Democrats controlling the Legislature, new limits on gun access have their best shot at the Capitol in a number of years. But the debate could expose divides between urban Democrats, who represent areas where new gun limits are popular, and rural Democrats from areas with high gun ownership and less support for serious curtailments on the ability to own weapons.
"The way to stop gun violence is with another gun," said Rep. David Dill, a Democrat whose sprawling district includes most of northeastern Minnesota's Arrowhead Region.
Dill said he's on the same page with the National Rifle Association in its opposition to the background check bill and most of the other gun proposals, and believes he has enough votes in the House to defeat changes in gun laws opposed by the NRA.
Gov. Mark Dayton, also a Democrat, has not wholeheartedly embraced new gun control measures; he told the Star Tribune on Monday that any changes would need support from rural lawmakers in order to get his signature.
The House committee chairman, St. Paul Democrat Michael Paymar, said he intends to assemble the best state-level proposals into an umbrella bill likely to be dubbed the "Gun Violence Prevention Act." He said the House is likely to vote on the package later in February.
The gun law push is less active in the Senate, also led by Democrats. Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk said votes on any gun legislation would take a back seat to the Legislature's budget.
Besides the background check proposal, lawmakers on Tuesday reviewed a bill to let local police departments order a mental health evaluation on people who apply for the state permit that's required to carry a weapon. Other gun bills include proposals to ban the sale of assault-style automatic rifles and of certain types of ammunition clips.
Paymar wouldn't say which among the dozen proposals he thought should definitely be part of the final gun bill. Heather Martens, executive director of the gun control advocacy group Protect Minnesota, predicted the background check provision would almost certainly be part of the package.
"We're going to make some real progress this session," Martens said. She said people directly affected by gun violence understand the need for law changes, pointing to testimony Tuesday by the 17-year-old son of the Minneapolis business owner killed in last fall's fatal shootings at Accent Signage Systems.
"His American dream became an American nightmare," Sami Rahamim said of his father. Rahamim did not back specific proposals but spoke more generally of the need to tighten access to guns.
The background check bill would require all gun purchases in Minnesota to be made with federally licensed dealers. NRA lobbyist Christopher Rager said sales records of those purchases would eventually be turned over to federal law enforcement, creating a functional registry of all gun owners.
"Gun registration is something we have a concern about," Rager said. "There are many people who disagree with having their guns tracked, taxed and potentially taken away from them."
The NRA also raised objections to tougher mental health screening for gun permit applicants, and it found an ally in representatives from the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. Sue Abderholden, director of the alliance's Minnesota chapter, said that would stigmatize the vast majority of mentally ill people who are not dangerous and discourage some people who need treatment from voluntarily entering programs out of fear it could weaken future gun ownership rights or just violate their privacy.
Rep. Tony Cornish, a Republican and NRA ally, had planned a bill allowing armed teachers in Minnesota schools as a preventive step against school shootings. While he criticized the Democratic bills up for debate Tuesday, Cornish said he decided not to introduce that measure as a separate bill since Dayton vowed to veto it.
But Cornish said he might resurrect his proposal as a House floor amendment later in the session. A colorful and sometimes brash supporter of gun rights, Cornish showed up at Tuesday's hearing wearing a tie with the NRA logo and a lapel pin shaped like an AK-47.
"I don't see anything happening with gun control this year," Cornish said.

A statewide investigation revealed dozens of allegedly illegal voters.
Secretary of State, Scott Gessler, cross referenced Colorado's immigration detainee list with the voter-registration database, and found 85 matches of potential illegal voters.
Using the Open Records Act, Gessler was able to obtain the voting records of those who appear to be registered to vote, but are not US citizens in eight counties, including Mesa.
The findings did not indicate how many of those people were from Mesa County, nor have the identities of those suspected been released.
The controversial report is receiving push-back, however, as some feel voter information should not be available under the Open Records Act, saying that it violates voter anonymity.

Results tagged ' possible AAA affiliations '
It's Opening Night
Tonight is the Norfolk Tides International League home opener against the Gwinnett Braves. Jason Berken will be the Tides' starting pitcher. The Tides feature many AAA veterans like Jamie Hoffman; prospects who haven't quite panned out yet like Josh Bell, Chris Tillman, Brad Bergesen, and Jason Berken; and major leaguers trying to get back to the big leagues like Josh Barfield, Oscar Villareal, and Pat Neshek. The only two young players we haven't already seen in Norfolk are first baseman Joe Mahoney and center fielder Xavier Avery.
The Orioles made a concerted effort to bring in more experienced, veteran ballplayers to bolster Norfolk. The Orioles realized that it was important to have a competitive team in Norfolk if they wanted to keep the affiliation. Aside from the first half of 2009, the Tides have been noncompetitive in the International League. One of the challenges of the current AAA setup is that there is almost always one more "Western" team in the Pacific Coast League that there are major league teams who want a "Western" PCL team. Currently, the Toronto Blue Jays drew the short straw and have their AAA team in Las Vegas. But, if Norfolk became dissatisifed with the Orioles, it'd be a natural fit for Washington to move from Syracuse to Norfolk; the Mets to move from Buffalo to Syracuse; and Toronto to move from Las Vegas to Buffalo. That leaves the Orioles out in the desert.
Fans go to minor-league games either because the team is loaded with interesting prospects or because the team is playing winning, exciting baseball. The Orioles don't have interesting prospects ready for AAA, so they decided to make the team more competitive and likely to win by importing experienced players.
I've been critical of the Orioles farm system. It's generally conceded that their top three prospects — Manny Machado, Dylan Bundy, and Jonathan Schoop — are near the top of the heap, and that there's a huge dropoff after that. But the dropoff is in two specific areas — first, there are very few good prospects at the higher levels (although both Machado and Schoop are starting 2012 at AA Bowie), and second, the prospects between 4 and, say, 15 are really, really weak. The prospects ranked 16-30 (according to Baseball America) aren't noticeably worse that most other teams' 16-30 prosepcts, but 4 to about 15 are dreadful.

- "Continuing from the label's spring/summer 2012 offering, colorr blocking was a key message. It might not be a bold, new move but it was certainly well executed and highly wearable." (Vogue.com UK)
- "BCBG Max Azria creative director Lubov Azria has mastered her interpretation of the perfect urban chiffon dress. It's geometric, saturated with rich blocks of color, has a pleated panel or a few slits, and is sexy for its sheerness." (Vogue.com)
- "It seems a continuation of the effort the designers have made in the last few seasons to elevate the brand to a more sophisticated, restrained — and more expensive? — level." (A.P.)
- The dress-centric nature of this collection cast other categories into supporting roles. But the smattering of outerwear made up for its rarity by really laying on the luxury." (Style.com)

"Even our insurance company said, 'you could pay someone to do it, but it might take days before they can come out here,'" Allison told CNN.
But for Allison, what seemed like a mammoth problem was swiftly solved on Sunday with the help of a group of students, parent-teacher association members and fellow teachers from his school and Heritage Trails Elementary, where his wife teaches music.
"We probably had 70 to 80 people in our front yard," he said, "and we cleaned it in a matter of 30 minutes."
Morgan DeLong, one of the volunteers, said many whose homes survived the storm are eager to chip in.
"It's kind of our turn to return that blessing and help people out. And it's incredible to be around all the faculty members and other students," she said. "It's amazing to just look out and see how our community's coming together."
As Obama got a firsthand look at the debris left by the tornado, the state's governor told CNN that her chief request for the federal government is help plowing through regulatory hurdles.
"Basically what I need is the ability to get through red tape, the ability to get the FEMA funds in here quickly and to get the services that our citizens need to help them recover through this terrible disaster," Gov. Fallin said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Fallin, a Republican, said the initial reaction from the federal government in assisting her state was fast and effective.
"So far we have had great response," she said, quickly adding there was a long way to go before Moore returns to normal.
"This is a massive debris field. It's not just a couple blocks," she said. "It's miles."

He has no friends. It's clear he's alone and doesn't like the job anymore. He's going to be distant and aloof this next term. He might even have physical issues we don't know about yet.It's entirely possible the Dems will begin dumping him in preparation for the 2014 races. Don't forget the Fast & Furious and Benghazi stories have yet to unfold, and Rep. Issa is still in charge. Obama's pinned into exactly the same situation he's had for the last 2 years. Not much has changed.And even if he does get 2 liberal SC Justices seated, that whole un-Constitutional Judicial activism crap is something we've needed to address for a long, long time. Let's clip their wings.Stealing an election will have consequences. Also, God is not mocked.
More wishful thinking. Again based on the idea that O somehow wants a prosperous and happy America. And to leave it better than he found it.
#1 And that's where BJ Clinton fits in. The Faustian bargain: BJ gets to govern behind the curtain while Dear Leader shows up for photo ops...always looking cool and refreshed.
It is up to the House republicans to block and block everything they must.
But they won't. They are worried that the negative campaigning that brought down Romney will beset them to. He'll try to do it on a grand scale and trash the whole R party.
Obama doesn't need congress. He will make a couple of supreme court appointments, then liberals will control the court system. The WT thinks obama is going to govern according to the constitution? Not a chance.
As long as none of the (somewhat) conservative justices on the SCOTUS die or retire, O won't be able to affect the basic makeup of the Court. He may get to replace Ginsburg with another liberal--a wash. Scalia will never step down while Obama is President.
Well... "Duck" is I guess the cliche, and the PG version, but....9 million fewer votes than 2008? Spent all that cash and the ingrates didn't even show up?#1: He never liked the job, but he does like the parks. A private 747 for vacations and campaigning? What's not to like? Especially with a nifty 757 to tote Michelle around.#5: Indeed, indeed. No more letters. Tooth and nail over everything, including the paperclips for the Oval Office.#6: Some will, some won't. The "won'ts" can be dumped in 2 years. After 2 years of us on their backs.#8: Good take. IMHO, Scalia would "pull a Cheney" [mechanical heart] if necessary to keep that seat out of Stinky's hands.
War soon he will have his hands full and theagenda goes out the window.Syria. Israel. Iran.The pressure cooker is on...
#1 brings up a point. What if Soros talked Obama into running again just so they could win back the WH with the understanding that he could quit if he wants to in the next term because they would still have the WH with Biden and we know what a puppet he is. They could state health issues or whatever.

What if Soros talked Obama into running again just so they could win back the WH with the understanding that he could quit if he wants to in the next term because they would still have the WH with Biden and we know what a puppet he is. They could state health issues or whatever.Then Biden could nominate Shrill as veep and then he could be asked to step down and she becomes president and picks another veep. This would make her the incumbent for 2016. Stranger things have happened.
Obama spent his whole first term running for re-election. I don't know how he makes the mental shift into doing his real job.Campaigning and fundraising kept him busy and out of the WH where he's now trapped behind 4 walls with MO nagging and nitpicking the whole time..He placated the left but they're not who makes the country work. If he doubles down on this stupidity,he'll be a failure for sure.The left, which otherwise hates god is now thanking him for the hurricane,despite the misery of millions of people.
It's the dog in the manger story. He doesn't like the job (he hates work, period) but he doesn't want anyone else to have it, either.I'm wondering if he will take out revenge on the papers that did not endorse him, the states that did not vote for him, etc. He's so thin-skinned.We found two squeaky-clean men to run, and they lost anyway. America is gone. Down with Amerika.
Change the "d" to an "f" in the headline and you have it right.
Republicans should not block the dem agenda but vote ''present'' on every thing they want to pass. Let them own,completely own, the oncoming disaster. They will have no one to accuse of ''obstructionism''-''oh we could have done this, and this, if not for the republicans...blah blah blah.'' Let them OWN it!We might get both houses, then, in 2014.
Only if he can't get his 3 Supreme Appointmens to approve an FDR
If the first words out of the speaker of the house are .... we are here to compromise and do what obama tells us to do....I don't think we have a lame-duck potus.
He's already claimed he has a mandate so forget saying he doesn't. Remember he claimed Obamacare was bipartisan. He will now rule by decree.
#7 has it exactly right, Obamao will bypass congress.

Search Report
As adoption of advanced mobile devices such as smartphones has exploded in recent years,1 consumers have grown increasingly comfortable using their phones to transfer money, purchase goods, and engage in other types of financial transactions.
Recent Pew Internet surveys find that one in ten Americans have used their cell phone to make a charitable contribution by text message, that more than one-third of smartphone owners have used their phones to do online banking services like paying bills or checking a balance, and that 46% of apps users have purchased an app using a mobile device.2 Research from comScore has found that 38% of smartphone owners have used their cell phone to make a purchase of some kind, with digital goods (such as music, e-books or movies), clothing and accessories, tickets and daily deals leading the way as the most popular mobile retail categories.3
Similarly, a March 2012 Federal Reserve report found that 21% of mobile phone owners had used mobile banking services in the past year and that another 11% of mobile owners plan to use such services in the next 12 months.4 Using one's phone to check account balances and recent transactions ranked as the most commonly-used service (90% of mobile banking users engage in this activity), followed by transferring funds between accounts (42% of mobile banking users). The study also found that some 12% of mobile phone owners have made payments—such as paying bills online or transferring money directly to another person's account—via their phones.
Mobile phones play an even more prominent role in the financial system in parts of the developing world—users of Kenya's M-Pesa system now send money totaling 20% of that country's GDP to each other each year via text message, for example.5
In light of these trends, a number of financial services and technology firms have set their sights on integrating mobile devices into the broader, multi-trillion-dollar retail economy. As a result, the infrastructure and tools for safe, reliable mobile purchasing has been advancing rapidly in recent years.
These mobile payment and transaction solutions currently take a number of forms. Some allow merchants and businesses to accept "on the go" credit card payments from customers using a special card reader that plugs into a smartphone or tablet computer.6 Others facilitate direct person-to-person financial transfers using mobile devices—either by physically touching phones or exchanging electronic credentials such as a phone number or email address.7
Other solutions go even further, placing mobile phones at the center of users' financial lives as an all-in-one payment device, identification system, coupon book and financial planner. In late 2011, Google launched Google Wallet in partnership with Citibank and MasterCard. Based on a technology known as near-field communication (NFC), Google Wallet allows users to store payment information in the cloud and pay for goods at participating retailers by tapping their phone at the point of purchase.8 Another consortium (including Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Visa, American Express, Discover and MasterCard) will be piloting a similar NFC-based mobile payment system known as ISIS starting in select cities in mid-2012.9 PayPal and Visa have also announced plans for mobile wallet systems, and many analysts predict that Apple will announce its own virtual wallet service in the near future.10
Proponents argue that these "mobile wallet" systems hold a number of advantages over the use of cash and credit cards for payment. They argue that these systems are simpler and more convenient for consumers, since users need only carry a single all-purpose device rather than multiple forms of paper and plastic. And because they are location-aware and can track users' shopping and purchasing behavior in real time, mobile wallet systems can offer advanced "personal shopper" services (such as recommendations and special deals based on one's location and past purchasing history) as well as improved loyalty programs and more targeted promotions from vendors (a modern take on the "buy ten get one free" card, but with the card stored digitally in the cloud).
At the same time, critics have pointed towards a number of factors that might limit the widespread adoption of mobile payments. For starters, not everyone will use a smartphone. Other analysts raised questions about whether credit card companies will move away from the current profitable system in the developed world. Other concerns include the potential susceptibility of NFC to hackers, market fragmentation, and lack of interoperability of mobile finance systems due to the many different platforms being developed and implemented, and questions about whether consumers will feel comfortable storing the intimate details of their financial lives in the cloud.
In light of this ongoing debate, The Pew Internet Project and Elon University's Imagining the Internet Center invited experts and other Internet stakeholders to offer their predictions on the future of mobile payments, and what people's "wallets" might look like in 2020.
Overall, a majority of these respondents supported the scenario that by 2020 most people will have embraced and fully adopted the use of smart-device swiping for purchases they make, nearly eliminating the need for cash or credit cards. These experts feel that the explosive growth in the use of smartphones and other mobile devices, combined with the convenience, security, and other affordances of mobile payments systems, makes these systems an obvious choice to replace established modes of payment in day-to-day commerce.
At the same time, the expert respondents are divided on how quickly this technology will displace established transaction methods. In elaborating on their predictions, a number of respondents indicated that they expect this process to develop generationally, with younger users jumping to abandon cash and credit cards while their parents and grandparents make the move to mobile payments slowly, if at all.
Some 65% agreed with the statement:
By 2020, most people will have embraced and fully adopted the use of smart-device swiping for purchases they make, nearly eliminating the need for cash or credit cards. People will come to trust and rely on personal hardware and software for handling monetary transactions over the Internet and in stores. Cash and credit cards will have mostly disappeared from many of the transactions that occur in advanced countries .
Some 33% agreed with the opposite statement, which posited:
People will not trust the use of near-field communications devices and there will not be major conversion of money to an all-digital-all-the-time format. By 2020, payments through the use of mobile devices will not have gained a lot of traction as a method for transactions. The security implications raise too many concerns among consumers about the safety of their money. And people are resistant to letting technology companies learn even more about their personal purchasing habits. Cash and credit cards will still be the dominant method of carrying out transactions in advanced countries.
While 65% agreed with the statement that most people will trust and rely upon conducting monetary transactions over the Internet and in stores with their mobile devices, a number of people said the true outcome will be a little bit of both scenarios. Respondents were asked to select the positive or the negative, with no middle-ground choice, in order to encourage a spirited and deeply considered written elaboration about the potential future of hyperconnected people.
Here is a sampling of their predictions and arguments:
Mobile money is the next logical step in the evolution of consumer finance. Mobile payments offer the potential for greater security than cash or physical cards.
Since a significant portion of our financial lives are already conducted electronically, mobile payments are not as significant a leap as they might appear.
Consumers cannot implement mobile payments unilaterally, so their adoption and usage will depend on the willingness of incumbent players (banks, retailers, etc) to build out the infrastructure to accept those payments.
The future has already arrived in many parts of the world outside of the United States.
The current moment offers an opportunity to reinvent economic processes.
At the same time, consumers may be hesitant to place their entire financial lives in one basket in the cloud.
Many respondents predicted that mobile payments will be adopted quickly by some demographic cohorts, but will make more measured progress among others.
A desire for anonymity will prevent the demise of cash.
Ultimately, many survey participants expect the most likely scenario to be a mixture of the old and the new.

Howard Earle is running for 3rd district and i have had the pleasure of talking with him about the
increases in property tax, electricity, and trash collection. We have talked about the library,
the prower plant that noone but city council can see the benefits of.. Folks isnt it time we had
a city council that listens to us ? that votes with our interest in mind, not how they are financing the next
party or vacation? the new landrover? I like that Howard earle wants to do open public forums every other month
to give us a voice. I like that He is out here in Dover knocking on doors himself and talking to the
people of Dover. Folks its time we clean our own house. Our city can not take any more of this greed.
we are losing our city. The beautiful farming community i grew up in is almost non-existant. its time for change.
I hope everyone of You gets to meet Howard Earle and see that change is possiable:}

Copied below is a letter to the editor submitted to the Delaware State News. You can post your opinions by clicking on "Reply."
Holly Malone campaign support letter
April 17 is an important day for voters in the 1st District of the City ofDover. They have a great opportunity to elect one who:
1. Is an Optimist,
2. Who has prior City Council experience,
3. Looks ahead to make the City ofDovera highly desirable place to live and raise families,
4. Believes that city services must be maintained, enhanced and cost-effective,
5. Supports our top-notch police service,
6. Is a consensus-builder and is highly respected in theDovercommunity, and
7. Is a leader that has the capability to pursue pragmatic solutions to the city's economic and growth problems.
That person is clearly Holly Malone, and she will bring much enthusiasm to solve the many issues.
The city's current budget problems developed over several years, and the national economic downturn has made it worse. There was over-reliance on real-estate-transfer taxes, building permits and other fluctuating revenue sources to support city services. The five-term incumbent and former City Council president has shown no leadership in tackling these problems other than pushing across-the-board budget cuts and a hiring freeze. As a result, the organizational performance of the city staff is being reduced, and the situation will become worse if changes are not made.
The extraordinary and precious right to elect our own leaders is cherished by free people everywhere. When many others are denied such rights, we send our young people to other parts of the world to help them gain the right to self-govern. I hope more people show up to vote in theDovercity election.
Voters in the 1st District have this extraordinary opportunity to exercise their rights on April 17.
What we need is a real problem-solver and not just a "Nay"-sayer. That is why we need to elect Holly Malone to improve city governance.
N.C. Vasuki
Bev Williams letter of support
Bev Williams is the most-qualified candidate to represent the 1st District in the City ofDover. Her experience, serving as Council president and chairperson of the Safety Advisory Committee, uniquely qualifies her for the position.
Williams is a staunch advocate for public safety. She has voted to increase the authorized number of police officers on the Dover PD from '81-'93. She has supported senior citizens by voting to deny zoning changes that would have proven detrimental to theModernMaturityCenter. Ms. Williams has voted to lower electricity rates and return excess funds to the ratepayers, thus illustrating her concerns for the constituents she serves.
In 2010, Bev Williams led the charge against a regressive budget. She voted "No" to significant increases in taxes (8.69 percent), to increases ranging from 11-44 percent in water/wastewater, and a 100-percent increase in trash fees. She has voted "No" to excessive salary increases for city employees, ranging from 9-18.7 percent, during a time of severe financial crisis (2007-2012).
Now more than ever, the citizens ofDoverneed a strong voice to represent them, a councilperson willing to say "NO" to a proposed budget that includes potential tax increases of 3-6 percent and a trash fee that will increase another 54 percent!
It's time to stop the fiscal insanity. Vote for Bev Williams, the true conservative, on April 17, 2012. She still hears the cries of her constituents who occupied the chamber at City Hall urging Council to say "NO" to excessive spending. She listened then, and she will listen now!

By Karen Sutherland, Downers Grove, Illinois
From the American goldfinch and common loon (at right) to the northern cardinal and yellowhammer, all 50 states honor a specific bird as its official avian symbol. In total, 28 different birds are acknowledged in this way, since various states selected the same bird. Canada's provinces and territories add another 11 birds to the list of official species.
Even though the United States' national symbol—the bald eagle—was selected in 1782, it wasn't until 1926 that a state honored a feathered friend. Kentucky was the first when it picked the northern cardinal in 1926.
There are many reasons a state might select a particular bird to represent it. Some are indigenous species or in need of conservation. Others, like the northern cardinal (left), simply are backyard favorites. This bright-red bird is the selected symbol in seven states, including Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia.
Other birds chosen by several states or provinces include eastern bluebirds, mountain bluebirds, western meadowlarks, northern mockingbirds, black-capped chickadees, common loons, American robins and American goldfinches.
Selecting endangered birds as state symbols can serve to promote awareness about the problems the species face.
New York, the last state to declare an official state bird, chose the eastern bluebird (below right) in 1970. Around this time, bluebird populations were rapidly declining due to a loss of habitat.
Fans of the dwindling scrub-jay in Florida would like to see it take the place of the current state bird, the northern mockingbird, to help increase its chances of survival.
Hawaii currently honors an endangered bird, the Hawaiian goose, or nene (pronounced "nay-nay"), as its state symbol. In ancient times, more than 25,000 of the birds roamed the island chain, but by the 1940s, only about 12 were left. Due to conservation efforts, 200 to 500 nene now live in Hawaii's sanctuaries and national parks.
The purple finch, the official bird of New Hampshire, is a talented songster. It's also a good companion to that state's purple state flower, the fragrant lilac-though the bird is more of a rich rose color than a true purple. Still, this finch is fitting for the state, since the birds reside in the evergreen forests that cover much of the Northeast.
Among the most striking songbirds in North America is Maryland's state bird, the Baltimore oriole. It's a natural pick for this state, since it was named in honor of Lord Baltimore, Cecilius Calvert, one of the state's founders. Residents there and elsewhere also enjoy the male's clear, whistled song.
The common loon, selected by both Minnesota and Ontario, is known for its mournful wail that reverberates in the woods surrounding the lakes it seeks out during nesting season.
Two other thrushes, species known for their melodious voices, also are state selections—the hermit thrush of Vermont and the wood thrush of the District of Columbia.
It's an appropriate symbol for that state. This hardy bird is well suited to withstand long, cold winters. A form of feathers edge their feet and toes to form "snowshoes" that enable them to walk on snowdrifts without sinking. These game birds have mottled brown feathers in summer, but molt into white plumage for protective camouflage in winter.
Several other game birds represent the states: the California quail of California, the ruffed grouse of Pennsylvania, and the ring-necked pheasant of South Dakota.
The largest state bird is the brown pelican (right), which represents Louisiana. These birds, which can eat up to 11 pounds of fish a day, are a common sight along the state's coastline and waterways.
Many people know it as a popular cartoon character, but in New Mexico, the greater roadrunner is the state bird. Early pioneers were amazed when they spotted this speedy ground bird running ahead of their wagons. Today, roadrunners can even be seen racing cars on the highway. They nest in cholla cacti and dine on desert animals like small snakes, lizards, mice and scorpions.
Each state or province has its own interesting reasons behind the selection of its official bird. Check out the list on the next page to see which species represents your state, and then keep your eyes open to see if you can spot these "state celebrities" in your backyard.

// My thoughts on the occupation//
The occupation seems to be culminating in Northern California. First, Occupy Oakland made headlines. Oakland's events seem to have spurred similar movements in Berkeley and Davis. As a former Cal student, I have always looked at contemporary Berkeley movements as very ideologically motivated, yet lacking the desperation and passion of the working/revolutionary class. After all, the majority of Cal is made up of the comfortable middle class. These students seemed to have nothing more than a romantic idea of revolution and change. For this reason, it seemed nothing changed on a significant scale.
That being said, I have caught myself being further intrigued by these movements. I have even pondered joining one or two in the past couple of weeks. They seem to not go away, after all. Of course, I do have stakes in the changes that the majority is demanding. I will graduate law school with about 150K in debt while being thrown into an uncertain economy. Safety nets, especially for a young lawyer, might mean the difference between surviving somewhat comfortably and sleeping on a friends couch while I wait for a job to come around.
In tune with the message of this forum, however, I analyze this change in position by taking a step back. Despite being regarded as some of the more progressive areas, my time in Ecuador, Berkeley, Mexico City, Amsterdam and New Mexico never instilled a passion to fight "for the revolution". Perhaps this was because of my somewhat comfortable student-loan funded lifestyle. Or even a step further, perhaps it was because I never needed to.
Bringing this analysis to today's buzzing movements all over Northern California, perhaps the "revolution" will continue because people have nothing to loose. Students like me will graduate with exponential debt. It makes one think if it is worth spending 200K in order to make 50K a year. Working folk continue to live without access to healthy food options, adequate health insurance and too many overtime hours. It seems like now a days, not only do the working class, but more and more, students and the educated class live in continuing anxiety. With enough time, health and sleep-deprived people will become agitated. The ideological class may become the working class.
The coming few months will tell us if indeed now is the time.

The Case for a Fed Rate Hike
May 22, 2010
Everywhere there are arguments that we are in a "V"-shaped recovery. And there are signs that in fact that is the case. Today we will look at some of those, and then take up the topic of when the Fed will raise rates. We open the case and look at the evidence. Is there enough to come to a real conviction? I think there is. (And at the end of the letter I mention two conferences I am speaking at in the next few months, in Vancouver and San Francisco.)
But first, a little housekeeping. The delivery rate for this letter has not been good for some time now and we are aware of it. We get tons of letters and calls from long-time readers who want to know why we have dropped them from the list. They keep resubscribing but not getting the letter. It is a problem. I was not getting delivery on my own personal accounts from well-known email providers. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please know that we do not drop anyone from the list unless they request it or we get hard bounces or undeliverable messages.
Hopefully that has all changed with this letter. The problem has been that the list is so large that it is blocked long before the letter ever hits your inbox. The computers at service providers just assume anything this large can't be for real. We are now using a service that is a third-party verification of our letter, which hopefully will fix the problem (not a cheap solution, by the way!). So, there may be a lot of you for whom this letter is (hopefully) a pleasant surprise after not getting it for some time.
If that is the case, we would like to know. If you have the time, drop me a response that says "got it" in the subject line. And of course, if you don't want to get the letter you can hit the unsubscribe button at the bottom. But even better, why not forward this to a friend and tell them to subscribe?
For the record, we are working on a MAJOR revision of the website and the letter. There will be a lot more ways for you to interact with me and each other. A lot more information and capabilities. We are excited. It should be here by the fall. Tiffani and I think you are really going to like it. And now to the letter.

I don't bitcoin mine myself (as I fold, and will stick to that), but from what i've read, if I were to engage in mining, I would probably go the C4C way. It does sound like they take quite a large cut, but considering the huge risk that Bitcoin's won't ever take off and end up as worthless bits and bytes, having the guarantee of payment in USD is a lot better. Of course, there is always the chance that bitcoins do eventually take off and you'll have an active exchange market, but I believe this is the less probable option of the two. Without any government backing, starting a new form of currency is a huge risk.
Sure and thats why I am going to be working as a Waiter at hotel starting Next week But alas I am a college student and between work and studies it would be nice to have my PC work for my allowance (so to speak). I've got my CPU folding and my GPU making bitcoins, its more efficient at it then the GPU folding@home client anyways.
I wouldn't agree with you on that. If your GPU can generate 10,000 USD in an year (assuming someday bitcoins have a market value of 1 USD) versus your GPU solves cancer 2 years down the line, can you really say bitcoin mining was a more efficient use of your GPU?
Well I have an ATI card and F@H would only use 80-90% of my GPU. The Open CL used in Bitcoin uses 97-99% of my GPU. Thats what I'm talking about. I understand what your saying but along those lines Bitcoin is making more use of my GPU then F@H was. Right now 1 bitcoin is = 1.040 USD Got out of the pool. Going solo now
Well I decided to go the Compute4Cash route and it all seems to be going fine. Currently I only have a 5770 running it now, so I'm getting about 0.49 WU/hr, but (if my calculations are correct) it will take about 4.25 days until I pass the 50 WU mark, and by then I'll switch to a new 5850. Using the 5850, I will achieve 20.4 work units every 24 hours, so I will be able to cash in every 3 days or so. This results in $4.08 a day, and 28.56 every week. Sounds like a good deal to me for some extra cash! :]
Keep us updated matteumayo with C4C. I might end up switching myself. We can compare to see who makes more cash I think I generated 50 Bitcoins cause it says Generated (50.00 matures in 113 more block) It just hasn't shown up yet. If so man I was lucky I just switched to solo and in less than a day made 50 Hope thats what it means of course. Looking it up. Edit: Just double clicking it says this. Status: 7 confirmations, broadcast through 29 nodes Date: 2/18/2011 17:34 Source: Generated Credit: (50.00 matures in 113 more blocks) Net amount: 0.00 Generated coins must wait 120 blocks before they can be spent. When you generated this block, it was broadcast to the network to be added to the block chain. If it fails to get into the chain, it will change to "not accepted" and not be spendable. This may occasionally happen if another node generates a block within a few seconds of yours. I did make 50 Bitcoins in less than a day So it takes about a day for them to "Mature". That is waiting for 120block, but I'm on 113 so we shall see.
Nice job! (or luck) Yeah I have a little over one WU right now, after about 2 hours, and it has had a steady rate of .48-.50. The site is actually pretty nice, and it seems pretty snappy with the 5 minute updates. So my 5850 is going to arrive in the next couple of days, and I've seen the WU/hr for 5770 and 5870, but not 5850. I'm guessing it will get somewhere between .70 to .80, however I'm not sure at all really. Is there any way to find out what it will be? Or am I stuck waiting
The guy posted this. Compute4Cash: it's a trap or not? Oh yeah no 5850... I'd say .7 or .8 sounds about right. If you overclock it maybe even higher. You can try PMing him or asking from his site.
I don't know whats going on but I generated another 50! I get my first in 9 more blocks and the second has 90 more blocks before I get it. once I get it I'll post a screen shot
Could you please do a test for me? Check is there a difference in your compute performance if you lower the memory clock. For example, to 950/800 I believe that C4C rep said something along the lines that it's all about GPU clock, and not the memory clock, so it could save you some electricity, while not reducing your compute power.
@ AphexDreamer how do i join a pool and what pool currently im am runing solo for 3 days at 235mhash and nothing.
I would just like to say that with the money I generated I have bought me Crysis 2 off newegg for $50 This Bitcoin is equivalent to legally pirating not only Digital but Material things now as well. Pirating in that the money used to buy it literally came out of thin air! When you make a batch file for m0mchil's GPU miner for example add the --host http://mining.bitcoin.cz so you can work for the pool. Also in the batch and for Bitcoin you have to use the same user and pass (which you should already have done). Go to http://mining.bitcoin.cz/accounts/profile/ make an account there if you haven't and then add a worker with the login and pass you have set up in your batch and Bitcoin program. When you do that it adds a "Youraccount Name"."the user name you made for the worker" So my account at Mining.bitcoin is Aphex,the user name I gave in the batch is Dreamer so the final user name I'm using in Bitcoin and the batch file I made is Ahpex.Dreamer so your batch file will look something like this for m0mchil's GPU miner start /DC:\bitcoin\poclbm_py2exe_20110215 poclbm.exe --user=Aphex.Dreamer --pass=******* --device=0 --host=mining.bitcoin.cz The key is that the login and pass is the same for everything. When you run bitcoin as bitcoin.exe -server and then run the batch that uses your GPU your GPU will start looking for coins in bitcoin for the pool. You can verify that its working cause when you look under workers under the account page at http://mining.bitcoin.cz, current shares and score should be going up. If its zero you haven't done something right. Hope this helps. Lowering it back to the default had no negative impact. I think they were right, thanks.
@AphexDreamer Hi! I'm new here and am very interested on how bitcoins work. I have already done backreading and the only thing that's keeping me from mining is the length of time it takes to generate a block. I have a Sapphire AMD 6850 and I OCed it to 1010Mhz Core and averaging 200Khps and upon checking the BitCoin Generation Calc, it will take me on ave 9 days to produce one, and that means 24/7 which seems to be impractical. Registrations are currently closed on http://mining.bitcoin.cz, and I did google and can't find any other Mining Pool to join. Hope they open up soon. Just a query, did you exchange your BitCoins to cash? or bought your Crysis 2 directly using BTC?
Edited since we can't talk about how to trade coins do to forum rules. I was really lucky and Generated two blocks total of 100 Bitcoins in Two days! Its all luck man. Think of it as the lottery, whilst your PC is running your in the Lottery and the higher your hash the more of your there is playing in the lottery.
Aye gpu client files and bitcoin files set up. Just no pass and user set obviously, can do that bit myself. Each time I get a step closer I get another error XD Probably problem in my registratry/hardware problem.
@AphexDreamer, how did you get the bitcoin.exe -server to work? I always get an error and it doesn't run unless I use the other app bitcoind.exe to make the GPU work. When I use the GUI based, it only uses the CPU cycles which is like 2khps compared to GPU 200khps.
When you installed Bitcoin did you install it or move it to C:\ ? I think you have to have it in a small file path like C:\Bitcion\Bitcon.exe . So I have a batch like this to run bitcoin start /DC:\bitcoin\ then I just type in bitcoin.exe -server. Then for my GPU client I have. start /DC:\bitcoin\poclbm_py2exe_20110215 poclbm.exe --user=xxx --pass=***** --device=0 To get it to work I did exactly what you see above. It didn't work for me so I just made a batch file that when executed would take me to the bitcoin file path and I always just type bitcon.exe -server and it launches. Since I have it running all the time its rare I have to even launch it. So typing it isn't a problem for me and it works.
I just installed it, I thought the short directory thing was for convience sake only. Found another client that works ( or loads at-least) but it's not linked to bitcoin so gets 0kash with any piece of hardware.

Initiated in 2002, Verdant Power's Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE) Project is being operated in New York City's East River.
In three phases, the RITE Project will test, demonstrate and deliver commercial electricity from Verdant Power's Free Flow Kinetic Hydropower System (tidal). The RITE Project is a prime example of how the Free Flow System can be scaled for placement directly within a population center.
RITE Project Phases:
First-Ever US Commercial License for Tidal Power Issued
On January 23, 2012, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a pilot commercial license for the RITE Project – the first-ever commercial license for tidal power in the United States. Under the license, Verdant Power plans to develop a 1 MW pilot project in the East Channel of the East River comprised of up to 30 commercial class (Generation 5) turbines, which would be installed in a staged approach. The pilot license issued to Verdant Power is for 10 years.
Verdant Power's license application was submitted under FERC's newly established Hydrokinetic Pilot Project Licensing Procedures, developed to allow for the advancement of U.S. hydrokinetic technologies (tidal, river, wave power), while maintaining FERC oversight and agency input.
Generation 4 System Demonstration Success
Verdant Power achieved a major milestone by successfully completing a demonstration of its 4th Generation (Gen4) Free Flow System at the RITE Project. The demonstration was conducted during 2006-09 as Phase 2 of the RITE Project and included the operation of six full-scale tidal turbines, representing the world's first operation of a grid-connected tidal turbine array.
Through the effort, Verdant Power successfully demonstrated the Gen4 Free Flow System as an efficient source of renewable energy with the following outcomes:
The RITE Project demonstration system stands as the world's first grid-connected array of tidal turbines.

Report: Joe Haden and TJ Ward Missed Browns "Bed Check"
As if it weren't bad enough that Joe Haden reportedly missed the Browns meetings and most of the Special Teams portion of practice on Thanksgiving morning, a new report comes out this morning.
I'm told by someone with knowledge of the situation that both Joe Haden and TJ Ward were not in their rooms when the Browns performed their routine "bed check" last night.
The Browns stay at a Cleveland hotel the night before home games to help keep players focused and to ensure they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. As a part of this routine, they also enforce a curfew (they do the same for away games as well).
When the 10 PM deadline came last night and Browns personnel performed the "bed check" for Haden and Ward, they were not in their rooms. At this point I do not know where they were or when they returned, but I know they were not there at the deadline.
The players are not required to be in bed by 10 PM, but they are required to be on the floor by 10 PM and accounted for. Many players will get together to play cards or watch TV together after the 10 PM deadline.
It continues to astound me how little some of these players care about and respect their profession. It confounds me even more how this type of behavior continues to persist over and over again without recourse.
Perhaps their absence was completely harmless and there is nothing to be concerned about. However, given their pattern of behavior over the past several years (and especially this year), it's awfully hard for fans to continue to give these players and this team the benefit of the doubt.
