Some believed Adrian Peterson would never be the same again after he tore his MCL and ACL in the final game of the 2011 NFL regular season as the Washington Redskins hosted the Minnesota Vikings. Not only did A.D. (Peterson) prove doctors and NFL expects wrong he rushed for over 2,000 yards nearly breaking Eric Dickerson's single season rushing record leading his team to the post sesaon and now he is the NFL MVP. Peterson finished the season with 12 touchdowns and 2,097 rushing yards. Adrian Peterson wasn't the only award winner last night. Check out the other winners below.
Defensive Player of the Year
Houston Texans end J.J. Watt
The NFL's sacks leader with 20½ and a pass-blocking fiend, Watt earned 49 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. Denver linebacker Von Miller received the other vote.
Coach of the Year
Bruce Arians has become the first interim coach to win the top NFL award from The Associated Press, taking the honors for his work with the Indianapolis Colts.
Arians took charge of the Colts in late September after head coach Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia. The Colts, 2-14 the previous season, went 9-3 under Arians and made the playoffs.
Comeback Player of the Year
Peyton Manning's stunning return from four neck surgeries netted him The Associated Press 2012 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award, though not the season's MVP honor.
Offensive Rookie of the Year
Robert Griffin III of the Washington Redskins has won The Associated Press 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award, beating out two other sensational first-year quarterbacks.
RG III earned 29 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. Luck was next with 11 and Wilson got 10.
All three led their teams to the playoffs.
Griffin, who severely injured his right knee in a wild-card loss to the Seahawks, set the NFL record for best passer rating by a rookie QB.
Griffin, who underwent knee surgery last month, says, "It's truly a blessing to be up there — to be able to stand, first and foremost."
Defensive Rookie of the Year
Linebacker Luke Kuechly, Carolina's tackling machine, has won the Associated Press 2012 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
Kuechly, a first-round pick from Boston College, led the league with 164 tackles. He began the season on the outside but moved to middle linebacker five games into the season and the Panthers went from 24th in the league in overall defense to 10th.

During the American Civil War, Henry W. Longfellow wrote the lyrics of 'I heard the Bells on Christmas Day.' With heartfelt candor, he wrote, "For hate is strong and mocks the song, of peace on earth, good will to men."
Researchers have discovered tablets in Persia dating from Jesus' day. Those tablets predicted that a great king would be born in the West and justice, righteousness, peace and joy would mark his reign.
Unarguably, being Mother to the Son of God is a tremendous honor and blessing. However, Mary did not live a charmed life. Her blessing led to her reputation being tarnished...
Christmas is so much more than I understood as a child. But I'm still very fond of the Christmas Song because it reminds me of a different anticipation.
When Jesus came into the world, it was completely voluntary. He came knowing the battles He would face and knowing the ultimate end of His life on earth would be a week like no week in human history.
When this author put on a Santa Claus outfit for a picture, he noticed that people treated him differently. Strangers waved, smiled, and said "Hello." He felt significant. The Holy Spirit used the experience as a teaching moment.
When the angel told Joseph to name the child Jesus it wasn't just to give Him the name by which He would be called to dinner. It described the purpose of the Son of God's life.
You may be in a season you are ready to see end. Or perhaps you are in the best season of your life, hoping it will never end. In any case, seasons come and seasons go, but our instruction remains the same: Be ready in season and out.
It was Christmas Eve 1914, on the western front, where British and German forces faced each other in fierce fighting. A British soldier who was present on that night penned a letter describing a true Christmas miracle.
Since the 7th century A.D., Christians have included this celebration in their preparation for Christmas Day. It's purpose is twofold: first, it prepares us for the celebration of the birth of Christ and second, it reminds us that we are eagerly waiting for Jesus' return in glory.
The death of our parents often creates a feeling of being orphaned. But God promised never to leave us or forsake us. He understands our grief and provides a safe place in his everlasting arms. Because we've been adopted into the family of God, we're not orphans.
Miracles just don't happen without the activity of the Holy Spirit. It was true then for this amazing event and it's true now. So here is a lesson for all of us from the Christmas story, and it applies to us not just at Christmas, but every other day of our lives.
I struggled with the commercialism of Christmas. I read emails about Jesus being disappointed because no one paid Him any attention at His own birthday party. I watched news stories about people celebrating the holiday season by beating each other over the head with the latest "must-have" toy - and I felt guilty.

Reports now the President Obama will soon announce his pick for America's next Defense Secretary.
Multiple sources telling Fox News that the president will likely nominate former Republican senator chuck -- gold to replace Leon Panetta.
An announcement could come as early as Monday.
James Rosen has that story from Washington.
Jamie good evening to democratic sources confirmed to Fox -- -- Ed Henry late yesterday the President Obama has indeed settled on Chuck Hagel to lead the Pentagon.
The apparent pick comes despite many indications that the GOP maverick would face a rocky confirmation hearing.
The former two term senator from Nebraska has a history of blunt statements including a reference to -- the Jewish lobby as an intimidating force on Capitol Hill.
That would likely draw fresh scrutiny.
What's more hagel has at times resisted the imposition of sanctions against Iran for its renegade nuclear program.
And has balked at efforts to designate Hezbollah a terrorist group.
I do have serious concerns about his positions that he stated on Israel's some of the statements he's made in the past.
As well as his positions on Iran.
Supporters say -- Eagles infantry service in Vietnam where he was awarded two purple hearts among other decorations makes him superbly qualified to be Defense Secretary.
-- a bipartisan group of foreign policy elders wrote to President Obama to throw their support behind people.
-- also seems to enjoy the backing of the one individual whose opinion at this juncture.
Matters most.

West Cumbrian beaches are given a spring clean
Last updated at 21:28, Thursday, 17 May 2012
Two groups of volunteers have been out in force cleaning up beaches.
Harrington beach was given a spring clean on Saturday as one of 50 across the UK in the Big Beach Clean-up.
The initiative was part of Marks & Spencer's Forever Fish campaign and is organised by the Marine Conservation Society.
It aimed to stop common items such as fishing nets, rope and bottle tops polluting the beach and sea.
Marks & Spencer provided snacks for the volunteers, and children were invited to get involved with their parents.
Richard Gillies, director of Plan A, Marks & Spen-cer's eco and ethical programme, said: "We only source from the most sustainable sources, but this is something more, this is our chance to get out onto beaches with our customers and take direct action to help protect marine life and our coastline."
And at Allonby volunteers braved the rain to clear the beach of litter.
Allonby lies within the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is protected under legislation by Natural England.
But the beach had been left in a particularly bad state after the numbers of visitors were attracted there by the warm weather in March.
The Solway Coast AONB team and its volunteers carried out a litter pick last Wednesday.
Graeme Proud, Solway Coast ranger, said beach litter was becoming a huge problem.

Bringing together key stakeholders in the fight for legal services for the underserved
It was a long time coming, but on Tuesday both the Massachusetts House and Senate removed the last hurdle to giving Massachusetts' state judges a well-deserved, and long awaited salary increase. To approve the judicial pay raise, the House and Senate rejected an amendment from Governor Patrick.
The $30,000 pay raise will take effect in two equal installments; the first increase will be effective January 1, 2014 and the second increase will be effective July 1, 2014.
In other State House news, the Senate unanimously passed the juvenile jurisdiction bill on Tuesday. This bill will raise the age of jurisdiction for juvenile offenders to 18. Research has shown that the brain of a 17-year-old is still in its developmental stages and segregating youthful offenders from adults in our criminal justice system will prevent juveniles who are sentenced from being put in the same environment as older and more serious offenders.
This new legislation will make it possible for 17-year-old offenders to be processed in juvenile court rather than the adult court system. Right now a 17 year old accused of a crime in Massachusetts is automatically treated as an adult regardless of the circumstances or severity of the offense. However, 17-year olds who are charged with serious crimes like murder will still be tried as adults.
The bill passed the House in May and is expected to be on Governor Patrick's desk for his review soon. Governor Patrick has already expressed his support for this legislation; when signed, Massachusetts will join 39 other states, as well as Washington D.C. and the federal government, that already consider 18 as the age of adult criminal jurisdiction.
With work on the budget finished, it is not expected that the House or Senate will meet in formal session again until September.

Silver Linings Playbook, the latest from David O. Russell (Flirting with Disaster, The Fighter) has taken the coveted People's Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival. It's coveted because you may have heard of a few of the past winners - The King's Speech, Slumdog Millionaire - The Artist was runner-up last year. Even foreign film sensations Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Amelie received major boosts by picking up this prize.
Featuring a killer cast, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert DeNiro, and Chris Tucker, the rom com has been favorably compared to Russell's breakthrough film - Flirting with Disaster - which is good news for me, as that's one of my favorite comedies of the past twenty years.
Does this put the film on the Oscar map? We'll see. It definitely guarantees a Golden Globe nomination for Best Comedy, but that was likely already in the stars.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Roberts signed off in style in front of his home fans with a try for the Blues in their 28-13 win over Zebre.
Afterwards he revealed it had been an emotional match for him, but he is convinced he has made the right decision for his career, as he joins fellow Welsh internationals Mike Phillips, James Hook and Gethin Jenkins in Top 14.
"It was an emotional day for me that is also tinged with sadness," the 26-year-old, who featured in all of Wales' RBS 6 Nations games this season, told Wales Online.
"The amount of people who support rugby in Cardiff is great.
"I would just like to thank all the people who have supported me over the years and it is going to be hard.
"There are so many factors I am looking forward to.
"There is a different environment with new players and coaches, challenging myself in a new league and the prospect of discovering a new city.
"I had a chance to do something new at 26 which I couldn't turn down."

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
It isn't a miracle product, but it works so much better than other products I've tried. I have sensitive, acne prone skin and it definitely helps keep it feeling less oily, clean, and clear. Have used on and off for years.
I have pretty normal facial skin, sometimes oily. But this is hands down my favorite face wash. It's clean, smells great and doesn't leave any beady gross schmutz. Lathers really great too
This face wash is awesome! My face feels awesome after! IT does not dry out my skin and smells great!
I struggle with oily skin that dries out rather quickly from many products, so trying a new face wash is often a stressful ordeal. ZIRH Clean not only wakes up your skin first thing in the morning, but keeps my complexion healthier, smooth and oil free. I would recommend ZIRH Clean to anybody to try, I think you'll be loyal for life.
Cleans well without drying or irritating my husband's sensitive, yet acne-prone skin. Will definitely buy this product again for him. He usually switches from product to product, but has stayed with this one for over a month now!
ZIRH does a great job with almost all their products but this face scrub stands out as my favorite. i have somewhat sensitive skin that can dry up fast with most cleansers. In using this product usually twice a day, the results leave my skin clean and smooth with zero dryness. You also get the whole "cools and invigorates" feeling as you're using it (the lemon really acts as a wake up for your face in those early morning hours).
I bought this product after getting the sample in the Sept 2012 box and have been using it ever since.
The smell definitely wakes you up with the Menthol. Easy to wash with and it leaves your skin feeling pretty great. I'd pair this with a moisturizer for folks with sensitive skin. It's not very harsh but it dried my skin out more than I would have liked. Still a VERY good product!
This is the first face scrub i have ever tried and I loved it instantly. i ordered another tube already and used it up!
I have used this product, along with the rest of Zirh facial products for a few years. The Zirh Clean is a great everyday face wash. It rinses clean and leaves no greasy feeling. It really has improved my look and feel of my skin.
Also worth mentioning is that it doesn't create a full lather. Early in my use, I was using too much product for a full lather. Now, mixing in the Scrub a few times a week, 125 ml will last me for many months.
Very refreshing facewash that has been working great. Bought the full product right when my sample ran out and Ill probably continue buying it for the foreseeable future.

pinch welt door seal for 54 Hornet
What have some of you used for the vertical pinchwelt seals that go on the doors in the verticle between the front door to fender and between the front and rear door. If some one has a vender who can supply the proper one please tell me about it? Have viewed Metro ,but not sure if any of what they have will fit correctly?
I am working on this same issue. I got some D-shaped peel and stick weatherseal from Steele rubber ( PN 83-0110-73 ) but it seems too big, it was even bigger than the published dimensions and sample that was sent to me, so I am a little P.O.d. I am next going to try a peel and stick from Soffseal that is similar to Steele 83-0129-73. This available at my local resto shop cheaper than online.
I am working on a fix for the door strike plates to make the doors shut without slamming. I think that I can pad the striking surface with aluminum auto body tape to improve performance. This takes up the wear in the strike plate and make it click closed much better.
I still haven't decided on a weatherseal for the doors. It seems the 49C like I have had the W/S on the body. I'm going to try putting it on the door, this seems to be a better arrangement and I believe the later stepdowns had it this way. -
I suggest that you get samples from some of the suppliers before you make a big order. Try Restoration Specialities, Steele Rubber and Soffseal. Don't waste your time with those K-Gap thieves.
This may be a silly question but why not replace the striker plate plate with a new one if its worn out ?
RogerRetired Tech. -
Thanks for the heads up on the too large seal ''Marker345'' I will not make that mistake.Ha I make enough all the time. Looking for a pinch welt that will slip onto the rim of the sheet metal, as this appears to be a good strong attacking design? Got a club meeting coming up in Cameron this coming 9th and will look at what some of the guys have done to address this issue. Maybe ''Ken'' can bring a sample of what he says can be had at Home Depot that appears to solve the problem. I am not looking forward to driving in the rain as these cars seem to leak every where without a proper sealing of the doors. Photo is what I did on the front doors and after the fact relised that I should have placed the seal to the door. Again got rushed to seal this as it was to rain the day I needed to attend a meeting.
If anyone can send photos of what they have done to seal up their door it would help me design new seals that appear not available after market today. The body manual is not much help as the detail is lacking in pictures.seal 001.JPG4320 x 3240 - 2M -
Regarding new strikes: The new "improved design" strikes that I bought from the theives don't work as well as my old ones.
Theres a lot of NOS parts out there that are Original Hudson parts. Im out of new ones right now or I'd offer you some . All I have is used ones,
RogerRetired Tech. -
I have installed Soffseal E725A on my 49C's rear door front edge and it seems to be sealing satifactorialy. I also have installed Metro's S-seal which is not working quite right because the 49C used a seal mounted to the fender, not the door. Metro's part mounts to the door and my fender is not profiled properly to meet it.

And I'm not talking about the game, Slender..
Hello! I'm here, again, with another Interest Check, trying to keep my ideas rolling and appeal to people's interests.
Lately I have been sketching the Slender Man more than what is healthy and re-reading the myth has caused me to crave an RP.
Now, as far as the RP goes, it would be based around a couple who have gone into a famous "haunted" forest in their neighborhood for a camping trip. Inside they find none other than the Slender Man itself and must try to return to civilization and return to their sanity.
This RP would take place past the forest, as the couple would have to deal with the Slender Man continuing to stalk them. I would love for my partner to have read the original mythos or seen Marble Hornets, for both are what I am basing this off of. The Slender games are kind of crap at defining the character.
So all you Slender Man and horror fans, knock on my door! I will be expecting you..

By Sammy Batten Staff writer
The excitement over landing his first job as a college football coach is over for Lawrence Kershaw.
The 41-year-old is now ready to begin the process of getting Fayetteville State football back on track.
"Being a football coach, you're excited for only about a 24-hour period before your mind automatically switches to what has to be done. That's where I'm at,'' Kershaw said Tuesday morning as he was introduced as FSU's 15th head football coach during a press conference at Capel Arena.
A three-year contract worth $90,000 was approved last week by FSU's Board of Trustees for Kershaw, who has spent the last 17 seasons as an assistant coach at the college level.
The last five of those were spent as offensive coordinator at Florida A&M University, where he worked for one of the most successful coaches at the Football Championship Subdivision level, Joe Taylor. Taylor amassed 233 victories before stepping down near the end of the 2012 season.
Kershaw's association with Taylor and Lou Anderson, who coached him as a player at Virginia State, were associations that impressed FSU athletic director Edward McLean.
"He comes from a long line of very successful mentors,'' McLean said. "For those who don't know Joe Taylor, I call him the HBCU (historically black colleges and universities) guru of football. He (Kershaw) has several years working for Joe, and he played under legendary Lou Anderson as well, so he comes from a pedigree that we believe will translate into good things for Fayetteville State.''
One of Kershaw's first priorities will be to form a coaching staff. He said Tuesday he had started talking to potential assistants, but was not ready to announce any appointments yet.
Kershaw did discuss some of his plans for FSU, including the installation of a spread, no-huddle offense.
"Four receivers will be on the field 99.9 percent of the time,'' Kershaw said. "Our tempo will probably be like Oregon, to put a name out there. But systematically we'll probably be more like Texas A&M.''
Kershaw summed up his football philosophy with a simple sentence.
"There are three main things I focus on - scoring, points given up and turnovers,'' he said. "Those are three things that determine whether you win or lose a ballgame.''
The Broncos will also commit themselves to a variety of community service projects under Kershaw to improve the visibility of the football program.
"Everybody in the program, including coaches, will have to a minimum number of hours per semester,'' Kershaw said. "Everybody on the staff will be in charge of setting up a service project. Our seniors will also set up a project.''
Sophomore kicker Antonio Mayo, who was part of the committee that interviewed coaching candidates, said the Broncos are just as anxious to get to work as their new head coach.
"We went into the Christmas break wondering, 'When are we going to get a new coach?''' Mayo said. "We came back after the holiday and still hadn't heard anything.
"Now, we have a little bit of closure on that, and we can start getting to work. The time off was nice, but it's time to get back to work.''
Fayetteville State finished 4-6 and 2-8 over the last two seasons under Kenny Phillips. Phillips is the school's all-time leader in career coaching wins and directed the Broncos to three Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association championships in 13 seasons.
It's that kind of success that Kershaw hopes to produce.
"This is a place I think you can get it done,'' Kershaw said. "It's been done in the past. I think there are things in place here to get it turned around.''

i really want to see some ingame stuff on my screen.
is it posible to get HoN ingame stat when i play ?
i will be really thenkfull if u can help me !
( ehem.. maybe bad enlish, but i tried ! )
Practice makes master
But unfortunately, no, at this time there is no way to get in-game stats, only the stats i get from one of HoN's server. It will probably never be possible.
--------------In norwegian since i think ur from here-------------------
Det går desverre ikke ann å få tak i in-game info fra spillet nå. Det var en som jobbet med det, men han sluttet hon S2, og så vidt jeg vet er det ingen planer om å ta det prosjektet opp igjen.
Hi! I just recently downloaded you app and when I open HoN the log loops "Making Monochrome bitmap" every 10 seconds and my LCD turns mostly black. What am I doing wrong here?
Ok, i haven't posted an update in a while and there is a good reason for that. I am really busy with university at the moment and dont really want to mantain this project any more. I will be releasing its source soon (Just need some time to clean it up first).
PM if this is of interest and i could get you a pre-cleaned up copy
Lots of bugs unfortunetly, or just me being a retard who knows.
I'm testing it and using the original "settings" in the .txt document for my G15 and it show my mmr is 267, wards: 1203106, games 643 (not correct) etc. I saw your post about not wanting continuing this project but if you could answer me I would be pleased )
It is not you, It has bugs for everyone. Mine shows Wards ratio "inf", I should mark it in the main thread I guess. Sorry for your inconveniance.
Is this app dead? i would really like one that just showed the score board.
S2; Your patches and view points on game balance, always make me wonder if you're joking. If not, do you even play this game?
1% of the BRs control 99% of the HoN rage. #occupyS2
It is dead. Then someone came and beat it up a bit more. Then it got slammed with ban's hammer.
Jokes aside though: it is dead, and I do not currently have the time to revive it.
The s2 xml server got shut down a long time ago and my server parsing all the xml data for the client I decided to shut down a little later.
The source code for this is (to put it kindly) horrible, and I doubt anyone other than me could intrepid it, so I don't really plan on releasing the source code unless someone brave enough wants to attempt it (in which case you can pm me to get it).
The rendering library to generate the output image was allegro, and parts of my code contains things like:
(The un-readability to "too damn high")Code:else if(!strncmp(original+location, "%set_color:", strlen("%set_color:"))){ original[location+13+0x00] = original[location+13+0x00] xor original[location+13+0x04]; original[location+13+0x04] = original[location+13+0x04] xor original[location+13+0x00]; original[location+13+0x00] = original[location+13+0x00] xor original[location+13+0x04]; original[location+13+0x01] = original[location+13+0x01] xor original[location+13+0x05]; original[location+13+0x05] = original[location+13+0x05] xor original[location+13+0x01]; original[location+13+0x01] = original[location+13+0x01] xor original[location+13+0x05]; sscanf(original+location+11, "%x", &textColor); }

If you go saltwater fishing in this state, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) researchers want to learn about your experiences and opinions through the new online Florida Saltwater Fishing Panel. Anyone with a valid Florida saltwater fishing license or Persons with Disabilities Resident Hunting and Fishing License, as well as exempt residents age 65 and older, can sign up to take part in the panel, which begins this summer.
Registered panel members will be asked to complete one web-based survey per month for a one-year period. The surveys will each take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete. While most of each survey will focus on the angler's last saltwater fishing trip in Florida during the previous month, surveys may also include questions about current or proposed fishing regulations, licenses, conservation of fish stocks and management effectiveness.

BY MELISSA LATERZA - Michigan is shaped like a mitten and it gives Gary Cross a reason to laugh while describing his home state.
"I miss the hunting season and the change of seasons in the fall. I don't miss shoveling snow, and being stuck indoors. I like being able to go down to the beach and cool off here when it's too hot."
Gary Cross had his first taste of boating and fishing on the eastern shore of Muskegon, Mich., where he and his family of five would spend time camping and hunting. The name Muskegon means "marshy river or swamp," given by the Ottawa Indians, and the town is also known as the Lumber Queen of the World.
John L. Montgomery, 92, of Naples and Venice, died July 13, 2012.

Survivors include three children: Karen Scileny of Naples, Richard Montgomery of Orlando, and Maureen Henry of Sarasota; 10 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
A visitation will be held from 6 to 8 p.m., on Friday, July 20 at Farley Funeral Home, Venice Chapel.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday, July 21 at Epiphany Cathedral with burial immediately following at Venice Memorial Gardens.

To the Editor:
The PTTS will never understand how we feel. The people who plunder for gain will never understand those who grew up loving it and striving to protect it. They will never understand what it feels like to be a little girl catching her first tarpon with her daddy, nor the joy that it brought to her daddy's face. They will never understand the men who come from generations of fishermen who have captained these waters and provided for their families giving thousands of people the thrill of their lives, fighting the great silver king. They will never understand the quiet pride these men have for the Pass and for each other. They will never understand how considerate, protective or passionate these captains are, because they have done nothing but come into the area with a complete disregard for it's history. They cannot understand the look in their father's eyes when he realizes the truth of it's deterioration. They will never understand being from a place where once you have left it, it lives in your heart forever. They will never understand the sense of community or family, nor our fierce desire to protect it. And so we keep fighting until we conserve and protect our heritage. Period.

The News - Editorial
Dear Brenda Barton of "The Villages?"
I too am a wife and mother of fishing guides, third and fourth generation Boca Grande guides to be precise. I have supported this island's businesses and it's community for 40 years. Unfortunately, you can say all you want, my dear, but it doesn't make what you say true.
Uncalled for attack? Excuse me, but we have let your offspring take over a 100-year-old fishery and decimate it of its large breeding female tarpon.
Revenue dollars??? That is a stretch.
There are extreme measures taken in the handling of the tarpon while gaffing, dragging, weighing and lifting them out of the water for a photo op. I agree, that is extreme.
Respectfully handling the (bumper) boats? What Pass are you in? The pounding of the tarpon by these boats as soon as they rise to take air into their rudimentary lung is nothing short of an assault.
I cannot go any further. Your letter is an insult to my intelligence.
Very sincerely,
Kathy Y. Futch

text: Home Politics Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Romney The Republican candidate panders to the NAACP, then insults black voters. By: Edward Wyckoff Williams Posted: July 12 2012 2:31 PM 0 Eric Kayne/Getty Images (The Root) -- Mitt Romney has elevated the tactics of pandering, flip-flopping and endless reinvention to a level of high art -- or vaudeville. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has long been accused of lacking "core" values. This assessment of Romney's dubious character has come from those on both the left and the right of the political spectrum. Obama political adviser David Axelrod told CBS News in March: "There is a sense there is no core to him." Republican Jon Huntsman concurred: "When you combine a record of uncertainty -- running first [for] senator as a liberal, governor as a moderate, then as a conservative for the presidency -- people wonder where your core is." And after a relatively well-received speech on Wednesday to the NAACP, Romney proved what we already knew: The mirror has two faces. The former Massachusetts governor started by pandering only slightly, complimenting the organ music and appearing to identify with the soulful sounds. His demeanor appeared humble as he thanked the leaders and audience for their reception. The speech included quotes and references to the great abolitionist Frederick Douglass and former NAACP Executive Director Benjamin Hooks. Romney made a bold proclamation: "If you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you're looking at him." Comments like that were met with booing and were seen by many in the audience as a slight to President Obama, who retains high approval ratings among black voters. Yet Romney stood his ground and vowed to repeal "Obamacare," which he called "nonessential" and "expensive." He sought to redeem himself by invoking memories of his late father, George, who as governor of Michigan spoke out against the ills of segregation in the 1960s. And despite being a member of the Mormon Church, which taught notoriously racist ideology and maintained barriers to the priesthood for all black people of the Diaspora, George Romney went on to become head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and pushed for housing reforms to assist African Americans. Analysts, pundits and audience members alike questioned Romney's speech and the inherent imbalances in his message. Julian Bond, NAACP chairman emeritus, said that the speech was calculated for a broader white audience. "He's saying, 'Look here, I met with the Negroes. I talked to them. I argued my positions. I don't think they took them, but at least I showed up.' " And herein lies the rub, because within hours of leaving the convention, Romney proved Bond's intuition correct. According to a pool report, at a fundraiser in Montana later Wednesday night, Romney told a conservative crowd that he didn't mind the booing. "I had the privilege of speaking today at the NAACP convention in Houston ... when I mentioned I'm going to get rid of Obamacare, they weren't happy ... that's OK," he said. "You remind them of this: If they want more stuff from government, tell them to go vote for the other guy -- more free stuff. But don't forget, nothing is really free." This is where Romney's lack of core meets his Etch A Sketch candidacy. In the same vein as Ronald Reagan, who solidified Nixon's Southern strategy by creating the false image of a black welfare queen, Romney proved that he is not above using innuendo, race-baiting or dirty racial politics. In fact, Romney's comments are most egregious for their lack of intellectual dexterity. He stole this playbook from the failed primary-campaign attempts of Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, who brazenly appealed to racially biased, disgruntled white voters in the South and Midwest.

Interview Details Three rounds of interviews. Started with members of the team and then with the VP of Search Marketing. These guys really put you through the grinder.

Lot's of questions and thoughts on Google algorithm, CTR, etc..

I applied online and the process took 1+ week - interviewed at Yodle in June 2013.
Interview Details I interviewed with Yodle and the VP interviews you first. She asks behavioral questions. Then you will meet with the Reporting Manager, just depends on who you get, because they seem to have their own style. I am more than qualified for opportunities in online marketing. The only thing for the Charlotte Office is that they seem to only hire the MAJORITY. If you walk around the office, everyone is of the same race. This exists in a city that is 40% minority. How is that possible? It's possible because if you dare list a college that is a HBC on your resume they won't call you - regardless of your experience level. If you take the HBC off your resume, they will call you. Bottom line is I think they have a racist hiring process. How else can you explain the demographics of the Charlotte Office.

Foreign Affairs and Enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices ActStephen J. ChoiNew York University School of Law Kevin E. DavisNew York University School of Law July 20, 2012 NYU Law and Economics Research Paper No. 12-15 NYU School of Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 12-35 Abstract: We examine the factors that explain the distribution across companies and countries of sanctions imposed in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement actions. We use a dataset of FCPA actions resolved from 2004 to 2011. We find evidence that the sanctions in an individual FCPA action are positively correlated with the size of bribe, the profit related to the bribe, and the amount of business affected by the bribe. The sanction increases if a subsidiary faces FCPA charges, if the FCPA violation occurs in multiple countries, if the ultimate parent company of entities involved in the FCPA violation is foreign, and if foreign regulators are involved in the action. We also conduct a number of country-level tests to assess factors that explain the ultimate distribution of FCPA sanctions across countries. Looking to the distribution of aggregate total monetary sanctions by country where FCPA violations take place, we find that aggregate sanctions are proportional to our measure of overall bribe activity in a violation country. We report evidence that the SEC and DOJ impose disproportionately greater aggregate sanctions for violations in countries with a lower GNI per capita as well as weaker local anti-bribery institutions. The SEC and DOJ also impose disproportionately greater aggregate sanctions for violations where the home country of the ultimate parent company of FCPA defendants has a bilateral cooperation agreement with the SEC, a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with the United States, and stronger local anti-bribery institutions.

I'm so whenever possible -- -- your book your flight either in or out on -- Wednesday.
Tuesday's the second cheapest day of the week to trap out to travel followed by Saturday what if you need to but more than one ticket at a time.
You know what I always suggested people are traveling in a group or even if there's just to them traveling together search for one ticket -- time because there's only a few.
Very cheap seats on an airplane so if you're searching for two people and there's only one of those cheap seats last airlines nodding -- -- show you that she life so -- one passenger per time.
Her and then -- you know you can bundled together later.
And then location makes a difference you say when you're getting a hotel room.
Absolutely in fact -- always -- of people if you're going for a weekend stay at a major city like New York Chicago.
Try to looks -- for hotels in the financial business district because.
You're gonna save those hotels are obviously pricing during the week when business travelers are there but then they drop the rates on the weekends you usually find a good -- there and can you negotiate a better deal.
You can absolutely I don't that's I don't know if this patty asked do you suggest people look at the radar online do not be afraid to -- that hotel and try to negotiate a better price if there.
If they have some rooms available they are willing to negotiate their goals to really get heads in the -- you say if you do go to -- hotel join the frequent guest program even yes even if you're seeing for one night and one time only joined because you can get some freebies like.
An upgrade free practice says.

Bootsy Collins defines the funk: 'Making something out of nothing'
It'd be audacious coming from just anybody else, but William "Bootsy" Collins named his new album "The Funk Capital of the World" (Mascot) knowing full well he could back up the claim. Everyone from Snoop Dogg and Chuck D to Bobby Womack and his old mentor George Clinton stop in for a cameo, and actor Samuel Jackson nearly steals the show with a terrific rap about his young life as one of the boys in the 'hood. The foundation for it all is Bootsy's rubbery, still-futuristic bass playing, and no matter what the style -- jazz, psychedelia, bedroom ballads – the groove is always there.
"It wasn't about black, white, green grass, bluegrass, it was all just music to me," says Collins, who will bring a 13-piece band including his fellow Parliament-Funkadelic accomplices Bernie Worrell and Blackbyrd McKnight to the Congress Theatre on Friday. "All music had a certain effect on me and I appreciated all of it. Funk is on the 'one' and music is all one, not to be separated. It doesn't need a name. The key question is, 'How does it make you feel?' "
Growing up in Cincinnati in the '50s and '60s, Collins learned to play guitar because that was the instrument of his older brother, Phelps "Catfish" Collins. Bootsy's idol was Lonnie Mack, who specialized in blues-based instrumentals. Not exactly a funk progenitor, Mack was a hero to Collins because he was "a guy who played with his heart and soul. I finally got a chance to meet him 10 years ago and I just wanted him to know that I felt what he was doing. I didn't need to label it."

For Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart, being vegan isn't only about what she eats and chooses to wear each day.
Avoiding meat and dairy in her diet and animal-derived products in her closet is just part of the equation for the 30-year-old designer, businesswoman and animal lover. As founder of fashion label Vaute Couture, her dedication to creating animal-free coats, sweaters and other cold-weather gear has earned her a global cult following among animal rights activists and eco-conscious fashionistas.
Her activism began when she was 10 years old with an elementary school social studies project in suburban Chicago on factory farming and the fur industry. She became vegan at 17 and continued her activism in high school with a campaign for alternatives to animal dissection in science class that, with the help of national group Animalearn, eventually became Illinois law.
This week, she took her philosophy to New York Fashion Week, where she debuted her first ready-to-wear line in a solo show Wednesday, less than five years since starting Vaute Couture in 2008.
Stella McCartney, Charlotte Ronson and other big-name designers have created fur-free collections in previous seasons. But Vaute Couture is the first independent fashion house to show during New York Fashion Week with animal- and cruelty-free built into its brand DNA, from its ultrasuede elbow patches to Thinsulate-lined winter jackets.
The line's aesthetic goes beyond faux fur and leather, using organic, recycled and high-tech fabrics in an effort to redefine traditional outerwear staples. Before a packed showroom in New York's Chelsea gallery district, models, accessorized with rescue dogs available for adoption, showed off Vaute's line of coats, dresses and pants of waxed canvas, velvet and moleskin (a heavy-napped cotton twill fabric, despite its name), among other materials. Even the shoes, by Love is Mighty and Brave GentleMan, were vegan.
Though Vaute's line comes at a time when consumers seem more willing than ever to pay a premium for products from companies or businesses whose values align with theirs, industry insiders say the company is swimming against the tide in a season expected to bring new twists on leather and fur.
But Hilgart, an activist at heart, is undaunted. She believes that there are people like her who care about where their clothes come from and how they're made. It's Vaute's role to make those options more accessible, she said.
"I want to reach women who love style, love color, love fashion, and maybe they used to care about where their clothes came from but at some point they told themselves that it was naive to care," Hilgart said. "I think it's important that people see that you can care, you can interact with the world in the way you want and it's not naive. But to do that, you need options."
Vaute's values infused all aspects of the show, from the animal-free makeup and hair products used on the models to the vegan petit fours and cheesecakes inscribed with a V from Vegan Treats bakery of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Leashed rescue dogs were led around the audience by volunteers from the Humane Society of New York and Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue. The list of sponsors included some of the biggest names in animal rights activism: the Humane Society of the United States, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Farm Sanctuary and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
By sponsoring fashion events and designers like Hilgart, these groups get a chance to share their mission with buyers, fashion editors and industry insiders, key influencers of consumer trends.
"It's a great audience for us to get our message in front of," said Michelle McDonald, outreach manager of the Humane Society's fur-free campaign, which sponsored Jay McCarroll's runway show in 2006 and Charlotte Ronson in 2008.
The Humane Society tracks progress through a growing list of designers and companies that have adopted fur-free policies. But Hilgart has taken the commitment to "cruelty-free" fashion a step further with Vaute, McDonald said.
"She's not only trying to do her part for fur-bearing animals but for animals all over," McDonald said. "We're very thankful she's out there and attracting so much attention from the fashion industry."
The genesis of the company came from Hilgart's own desire for a stylish winter coat that wasn't "accidentally vegan" because it used substitutes for wool, fur or leather to drive down costs. She was a DePaul MBA candidate on break working as a Ford fashion model in Hong Kong when she decided that entrepreneurship was the best way for her to make a difference.
"I realized that if I could create a business where the process in itself was actually creating positive change, that would be my activism," she said in a phone interview last week from a noisy New York coffee shop in between final preparations for her show.
"I started with outerwear because I found being cold was an excuse to wear animal products," she said. "I wanted to figure out where I would be needed to make a contribution to the movement so people would no longer need to use products and materials made from animals."
Whether consumers are ready to give up fur, leather and wool is another story, even if it's in favor of equally stylish and warm alternatives. Hilgart knows there is a market for animal-free fashion among people like her, vegan or not, who take conscious consumerism to an active level.
Many of those people attended Wednesday's show and were thrilled by what they saw, regarding the Sailor Moon-inspired collection as a validation of their beliefs.
"Compared to even just a couple of years ago, there are now so many cruelty-free alternatives to products that we used to think required the bloodshed of animals -- everything from shoes to cosmetics to luxury fabrics," Jasmin Singer, executive director of Our Hen House, a nonprofit animal advocacy organization in New York, said after the show.
