For the second time in 2 years, the CFL will have an official TweetUp as part of the Grey Cup festivities and once again, Canadian Football League Commissioner Mark Cohon along with a group CFL players. Saskatchewan Roughriders Tad Kornegay , Hamilton Tiger-Cats Arland Bruce and former Rider Don Narcisse are expected to be there.
A TweetUp is an in-person meeting or gathering initiated by or joined in by people who use Twitter. The inaugural TweetUp was held at the Unicorn, last year in Calgary.
"It was small and at the last second and initiated by fans who approached us," explains CFL Digital Media Manager, Jaime Stein.
Stein says that Cohon's mandate to them is to put the fans at the centre of what they do. Coincidentally he adds, "is that it came when Twitter was just becoming popular."
The TweetUp was successful as they found that it was a great way to connect with their fans.
Stein says Cohon is a Twitter fan himself and wanted to be there. A number of players were also on Twitter.
For Edmonton, this year, the CFL decided they were going to initiate the TweetUp so they received guidance from the folks and fans who run BCLionsDen and CFLDaily to make it a great event.
But it's already sold out.
"By the time we hit up the people we interacted with on Twitter, 80 tickets were already gone, which was 4 times what we got last year."
Stein is excited about the whole Social Media aspect and its engagement with the fans.
"Our Brand statement is This is our league." And events like TweetUps make it possible for fans to be part of it.
"Everything we do, especially on the digital side is meant to be inclusive of our fans and trying to make them part of our league, because at the end of the day it is their league."
Stein credits the fans for the success of the 100 year-old league; they help make their jobs that much more enjoyable.
"I know the Commissioner loves to meet up with fans at Grey Cup – it's one of his favourite parts. He enjoys shaking hands and hearing stories about people who have been to 20 straight Grey Cups and how it's about a family traditions."
Technology also seems to help the cause.
"Twitter gives us the freedom to interact with fans."
Stein equates that to building very successful relationships by casually engaging with each other.
One story Stein relates was about a fan that sent in a picture of a pumpkin carved with the CFL logo. It was really well done so they decided on a Halloween game day use it as their CFL Twitter avatar.
Next thing he knew, fans from across the country were sending in their TwitPics (photo sharing via Twitter) of their own CFL carved pumpkins and they were being re-tweeted.
"It's all about the community, that's what it comes down to."

Methamphetamine and cocaine belong to the broad class of drugs called psychostimulants that also includes amphetamine and methylphenidate. The two drugs often are compared to each other because they produce similar mood-altering effects and both have a high potential for abuse and dependence. Methamphetamine and cocaine also share other similarities. However, the two drugs also exhibit significant differences. Here are some of these similarities and differences.

The Cobra AMP Cell Driver is getting another makeover just in time for the U.S. Open.
Cobra announced Monday that it would releasing 600 red, white and blue AMP Cell Pro drivers, available for sale starting June 1. The street price for the drivers are $399, and they will be available at select authorized Cobra retailers.
Unlike the limited-edition Masters AMP Cell driver released last month, the Pro model has lower adjustable lofts — 7.5 to 10.5 degrees instead of 8.5 to 11.5 degrees. The Pro also has two fade settings, 8.5 Fade and 9.5 Fade, rather than the standard model's draw settings. The limited edition comes stock with Adila's RIP Phenom shaft, which will be available for righties in stiff and regular flexes.
"We love driving excitement around our brand with limited edition products," said Jose Miraflor, director of Cobra's product marketing, in a company press release. "The golfing community is so patriotic, especially around the U.S. Open — we felt it was the perfect time to introduce a limited edition color to our AMP Cell Pro Driver line — complete with our innovative technology platforms: MyFly, SmartPad, Advanced Material Placement and E9 Face."
The color scheme that celebrates the U.S. Open puts blue on the rear portion of the sole and crown of the head, with a large white strip that showcases Cobra's Cell technology in the middle. After that, there is a thin strip of more blue paint that showcases Cobra's SmartPad. The red is found on the bottom on the "Cobra" stamping, as well as on the face, shaft sleeve and ferrule. In standard Cobra fashion, the red, white and blue theme also continues on the grip, headcover and wrench.
Normal AMP Cell drivers come in blue, orange, red or silver. GolfWRX gave the AMP Cell driver four out of five stars in its review last month. Click here to read the full review.

5 Things We Learned About Fall Fashion from the 2014 VMA'sBlog ▸ Fashion Trends | August 26, 2014
The MTV Video Music Awards (VMA's) is the time when edgy fashions come out to play. In years past, we have been graced with Madonna's shredded bridal gown, Gaga's meat dress, Little Kim's pasty, and Britney's array of barely-there rhinestone costumes. While the outfits are outrageous, what graces MTV's red carpet can give us a sneak peak into what trends will be hot in the season ahead.
Here are 5 things we can learn about Fall Fashion from the VMA's :
1. Crop Tops will be Everywhere
Miley Cryus makes some questionable fashion choices, but for this year's VMA's, she was right on trend! Crop tops are everywhere, and they are surprisingly flattering. Unlike their 80's and 90's incarnation, the new crop top is paired with a high-waisted pant or skirt to give an alluring flash of skin, while maintaining a great proportion.
Tip: Too cold or too shy for crop? Play with the look by wearing a boxy crop sweater with a tight tank underneath to create an amazing waistline.
2. You are Going to Need Some Fashion Tape
Kim Kardashian's plunging V is sure to inspire, for better or worse, a lot of necklines this season. This type of fashion…choice…is not as effortless as it looks. There is an infrastructure of shape wear and fashion tape that would rival the interstate road system. Deep V's, within reason, are very flattering to a variety of body types, and look amazing with a short hair cut. Also, fashion tape is a trick of the beauty trade to keep clothes in place and to help them drape better.
Tip: A deep V neckline looks amazing if you use a bit of highlighter on your collarbones.
3. Pants are Optional
It seems the onesie has made its way into street fashion. As perplexing as this fashion trend is, body suits were donned by everyone from Taylor Swift to Beyoncé. This club wear look (repeat after me, " It is never OK to go pants less in public before 10:30 pm. unless you are Beyoncé") is a fun alternative to the mini dress. This look is not for most people (One more time, everyone, " It is never OK to go pants less in public before 10:30 pm, unless you are Beyoncé"), but for those who want to make a statement, there is none bolder!
Tip: A shimmery body lotion applied to the front of the legs, makes you appear taller!
4. Silver is THE Color for Fall Fashion
Jennifer Lopez, Amber Rose, and Iggy Azalea were all seen in striking silver ensembles. While their looks were a bit more "Game of Thrones" than what is acceptable for every day, a bold metallic piece of clothing or bold accessory looks future perfect!
Tip: Look Jennifer Lopez- chic with a sparkly white sweater and a glossy, silver manicure.
5. Pants are the New Skirt
Yes, pants are optional (not really), but they can elevate an evening look in a timeless way. A 40's inspired wide-legged pant can make day or evening fashion luxuriously vintage.
Tip: Wide legged is going to be the hottest silhouette in denim.
You can take ideas from the craziest fashion and can incorporate it into your wardrobe for a fresh, new look. This fall, be a little rock star and try something bold!
What looks did you like at the VMA's? Who failed spectacularly? Who needs pants?

" Manufacturer: Ariat / Type: Garment Bag "
When it comes to competing I like to have everything near and tidy whether for my horse or for myself. Therefore, I try to keep various items separate. For example my competition clothing needs to be kept in pristine condition so the easiest way for me to do this is to keep it (my jacket and white breeches) in a garment bag. Once my horse is all tacked up and ready to go I can then quickly grab the garment bag, get changed and get on my horse and my clothes are still perfectly clean. I had been using a garment bag for a number of years and although it had served me well it needed replacing and it was the perfect excuse to treat myself to a nice new one.
Despite the equestrian world having hundreds upon thousands of items for both horse and rider the choice of luggage type items is actually quite limited so there isn't much of a choice. However, the garment bag I chose and purchased was the Ariat Show Garment Bag in black and tan. Ariat is a global brand known for their high quality products but of course with high quality tends to come high prices and Ariat is a brand not for the budget conscious. I had seen this garment bag a few months before I purchased it and to make it easier I did set aside a small amount of month a month so when handing it over all in one go it didn't harm my bank balance too badly.
The Ariat Show Garment bag has been specifically made for those that compete and need to protect their show attire whether a county showperson or a BSJA showjumper regardless of discipline you always want to keep your clothing clean. The garment bag is no different to those that you can get for travelling with it just happens to be made by an equestrian manufacturer. The Show Garment Bag comes in either black with tan detailing or navy with red detailing. I opted for the black version simply because I preferred it, it looks smarter and the colours are quite a classic combination and are very much Ariat staple colours.
To look at the garment bag like I said above looks exactly the same as a 'normal' garment bag. It is made from poly canvas which is incredibly durable so ideal for storing in a horsebox/trailer or even at the yard as it meant to be tough to withstand yard life. It has a full length zip right down the middle of the garment bag which is cleverly concealed. The bag's dimensions are 40"L x 25"W making it an ideal size to carry my show jacket as well as a pair of breeches with room for more. Of course it doesn't come with it's own hanger so you will need to use your own - it simply slots out of the top of the bag for easy hanging. On the front of the bag you will also see the small 'Ariat' logo.
On the inside of the garment bag the Ariat signature lining is black with images of small snaffles (horse bit) which is made out of soft nylon material and is in keeping the black/tan theme. The nylon material also helps keep your clothes clean and smooth (although I wish it managed to keep them crease free!). To help carry the bag there are durable webbing handles at either end of the bag which are tan in colour and the garment bag itself can easily fold in half for easy carrying with the aid of the handles. On the outside of the garment bag there are two pockets which are ideal for keeping items such as ties, stocks, broaches/pins and other show related items which are small enough to keep in the pockets.
Despite being made from a type of canvas material the garment bag is still incredibly lightweight and easy to carry. Obviously the more you try to fit in the heavier the bag will be to carry but for what I wear it certainly does the job well. The handles are not adjustable so it is a case of having to carry the bag by hand as you can't have it over your shoulder should you want to (I have heard a few people moaning about this point). Although it isn't advised to put this in a washing machine I have found that any marks I have got on the bag do come out incredibly easy with a damp cloth and a bit of soap and this hasn't left any marks behind. But being black it does have a habit of showing up dust or dirt easily.
I have had my garment bag for a little over a year now and it is used on a very regular basis due to me competing regularly and it certainly does manage to keep my jacket and breeches spotless. I don't over fill my garment bag simply because I don't need to and that I don't want to have to carry a heavy bag to and from a horsebox. The poly canvas used for this garment is definitely durable and it feels just a little rough to the touch but considering it needs to last then this is definitely the best type of fabric to use as it is soft enough to be lightweight but tough enough to withstanding constant use and I can safely confirm it will withstand being dragged around the floor by a very nosey horse who couldn't resist pulling off where I had it hanging and dragging it around by his feet!
As said above my bag is constantly used and despite this is still looks in near perfect condition apart from the odd mark or pull in the canvas. I do love the overall style of this garment bag and the black and tan does make it look like quite a classy contender to all the other garment bags available. Now, not only can I recommend this show garment bag to those that need it for equestrian use but also for those wanting a decent, hardwearing and good quality garment bag should you frequently travel as it will do the job just as good. It will certainly last for me a good few years and it does make the price tag definitely seem worth it. Would I recommend? Yes, definitely! A big 5 stars from me.

Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Shampoo Reviews
No Tousle Please.......My family has gone through every formula offered by Herbal Essences. We run into the same problem every time...build up. The first 2 or 3 times the shampoos and conditioners worked great and then they starting building up and giving all 4 of us (2 adults, 2 teenagers) oily roots, flakes, and frizzy ends.

I twisted parts of my hair up (about 5 sections) and away from my face and clipped them into place, letting them down as I dried that section with high heat, keeping the shape of the twist intact as I was drying it. You can cup the twist in your hand and lightly unwind it as it gets drier, I find that helps define more of a wave pattern instead of a curl– it's all about the waves! Once my hair was dry, I lightly broke apart some of the tighter twisted sections into place with my fingers, almost raking them through then sprayed a decent amount of the Tousle Me Softly hairspray, and wah-lah!

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Middlesex County is the most populated in Massachusetts and was established in 1643. When looking for Middlesex County public records, there is a good chance you will be able to extend your research back at least that far.
Modern records from 1921 until now are maintained by the Registry of Vital Records and Statistics for the state of Massachusetts. They're located in Dorchester and you can either visit in person to the service counter or send them a records request form by mail. They can issue any Middlesex County public records that you want copies of, because there are no privacy restrictions in Massachusetts.
The forms to make a vital records request can be picked up at the counter, but you can print them out home from the Office of Health and Human Services' website. There is one form for all types of vital records, so read through it so you are filling out the right fields for the documents you want.
After 1921, all records were moved to the State Archives facility in Boston. This collection of material then dates back until 1841 when the state first made vital record registration a county requirement. This material can be researched at the Archives in person, and many of their indexes are available online for remote searching.
And then beyond 1841, you have a third location to look for Middlesex County public records. Since they were recorded before the state requirement, they are still kept by the county clerk's office in Cambridge. They can look up and issue records just like the Vital Records office.
Middlesex County Birth Records
Middlesex County birth records will require you provide the full name of the person, their parents names and the date and location of birth. The fee for each record is $28 if you order by mail, but only $18 if you visit an issuing office in person.
Middlesex County Death Records
The fees associated with Middlesex County death records are the same as for birth records, and they are also issued to anyone who makes a request. You have to provide the deceased's full name, the location and date of death, and ideally also their parent's names.
Middlesex County Marriage Records
Getting a copy of a Middlesex County marriage record is no different from the others. They are issued at the same offices, and come with the same associated fees. The form will request the names of both parties, and the date and location where the marriage ceremony took place.
Middlesex County Criminal Records
Acquiring copies of any Middlesex County criminal records is a different process than for vital records. This information is not kept by the county, and you have to send your document requests to the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services (DCJIS). They are located in Chelsea but accept applications by mail. You can ask for a copy of your own records, but not all others are accessible. Whether a Middlesex County criminal record is considered public will depend on the nature of the crime, and what the sentencing requirements were. Each record ordered will cost $30, even for your own.

Some of
"David Mortimer should step down, it's a massive write-down which shows a failure of organisational competence, a failure in the reporting systems and a lack of proper stewardship over the board," Kieran Kelly, managing director of Sirius Fund Management – whose portfolio of clients have a 5 per cent investment in Leighton – told The Australian Financial Review.
"Somebody has to be held responsible, Wal King has walked away with a lot of money and he's not going to give it back. It has to be David Mortimer, he should do the decent thing and resign."
Leighton's $757 million equity issue, which has raised $514 million from institutional shareholders, forced investors to "tip in a huge amount of extra capital," Mr Kelly added.
"If this was a government, somebody would be held accountable. Somebody has to be held accountable when boards of directors fail and the board of this company has failed."
But other Leighton investors said they did not think Mr Mortimer, who has chaired the company since mid-2007, should go. The board had "acted decisively" to bring matters to market as soon as it was able, and apologised to shareholders for its earnings warning (which will see it report a group loss of $427 million in 2011 instead of an after-tax profit of about $480 million) as well as the need for a capital raising, Leighton said, adding the institutional portion had also been "well supported" by the market, including its major shareholder, Germany's Hochtief.
Leighton declined to comment on whether Mr King, Leighton's former chief executive, would receive a $5 million "transition bonus" for overseeing a "satisfactory" change to current chief executive
Leighton's stock, which re-opened for trading yesterday after being halted a week ago, tumbled 12 percent to $24.93 yesterday, its lowest level since July 2009.

The EPOCH code is designed to produce the same result as if you had casted the timestamp to timestamp with timezone --- the important point there being that the stamp will be interpreted as being in your local time zone (per the TimeZone parameter). So the problem with the OP's example is that he's doing SELECT TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE 'epoch' + EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM '2007-04-09 00:59:59'::TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE) * INTERVAL '1 second'; As mentioned in the docs, you really need to add the epoch offset to TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 'epoch' ---- if you want to arrive at a sane result. That would produce a globally correct timestamp-with-TZ result, which you could cast back to timestamp without TZ if you had a mind to. We used to interpret EPOCH of a timestamp without TZ as if the timestamp were in GMT, which would be a behavior that would produce the results the OP is expecting. That was changed intentionally sometime between 7.2 and 7.3; I forget the reasoning but I'm sure we had a good reason. Probably the easiest way to get the desired result is to use AT TIME ZONE, ie do the extract this way: EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM '2007-04-09 00:59:59'::TIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'GMT') Of course this all begs the question of why the OP *isn't* using timestamp with time zone, or at least setting his zone to GMT if he doesn't want DST-aware calculations. regards, tom lane

Another Kimber!
been striving for a Kimber for so long 1050.00 OTD
In my safe I had a NIB SIG Ultra 1911 sitting the day I bought it back in FEB. 2012.
So today at work I traded the SIG for a basically new but used Kimber Custom II, 2 Kimpro mags, and 125.00 after some tough negotiations. Only 200 rounds flawless rounds fired through her. 100 winchester white box and 100 assorted hollow points.
So for your viewing enjoyment.
I have two Kimbers - Royal Classic II and Tactical Entry II - fantastic guns! My cousin has 3 of the Stainless Targets - 9mm, 10mm and .45acp - and loves them. Been looking at the Ultra Plus - gorgeous carry pieces.

Judge Rejects `Extreme Makeover' Lawsuit
There are 51 comments on the KUSA Denver story from Jul 18, 2007, titled Judge Rejects `Extreme Makeover' Lawsuit. In it, KUSA Denver reports that:A judge has dismissed a case against ABC Television filed by five orphaned siblings who claim the network broke a contract to provide them a permanent home after their appearance on "Extreme Makeover: Home ...

I dont understand what ABC did wrong?
#2 Jul 18, 2007
The Leomitis are the ones who need sued. The siblings should have what is theirs, not the Leomitis's. Sounds like the siblings were taken advantage of.
Since: Mar 07
Traveled the world.
#3 Jul 18, 2007
I don't think they did anything wrong. I think they were trying to help out these kids. The kids are between 14 and 21 years of age! Would they be able to maintain one mansion in their name? A family took them in and now they are acting spoiled.
#4 Jul 18, 2007
I agree with Kaos and Joe.
AHH, sweet greed. Idiots.
#6 Jul 18, 2007
The Leomitis's house was demolished and a new one built in it's place. The title would be in their name since they would've owned the original house and property. Why would those brats have entitlement to that house? No one needs to be sued.
the key word for today's kids is entitlement.
#7 Jul 18, 2007
The contract that a person has to sign for Extreme Makeover is extensive. You can go to the website and take a look.
#8 Jul 18, 2007
some are over 18? why not get a job like the rest of us and support themselves ! They evidently have a car to get there.
#9 Jul 18, 2007
only in america can someone sue somebody else for getting something for free.These people felt sorry for these 4 kids and took them in.In return the show gave them a bigger house.They never asked to have a bigger house.If they have stayed in the smaller house and left these kids on their own they wouldnt have these problems.Just goes to show you beware of strangers bearing gifts.And shows me not to do anything good for anyone because they will sue you for your kindness.
United States
#10 Jul 18, 2007
Sounds like greed to me
#11 Jul 18, 2007
You don't know what took place. These kids might have turned out to be real problematic for the Leomitis. You might even find out if you asked the Leomitis if they could turn back time, keep their old house and forget these kids they might have opted for that.
#12 Jul 18, 2007
Yeah. And you're an assuming idiot. You must be the descendant of the fool that thought the world was flat, he assumed also.
United States
#13 Jul 18, 2007
Ok I feel sorry for you bring you into my house. Then someone comes along offer to build a new house for free after it is all over and done with you decided that you do not want to live in that house! You want your own so you take the people who tried to help you out to court! The judge was right on this one! They were probably insulted when he ask the boys to pick up their room or take out the trash!
#14 Jul 18, 2007
The parents of these children are probably turning in their graves. I saw this episode and it was so gut wrenching that it was almost impossible to watch the entire show.
These children may have been treated badly by the family owning the home. I dont know if they were or they were not.
The house was to HELP them - ALL.
#15 Jul 18, 2007
I'm sorry, I didn't know we were talking about your mother....my bad!
#16 Jul 18, 2007
GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! If you watched the show (which you obviously don't) you would know that they did not build the house for the 5 kids. The built it for the Leomitis family as a gift for the good deed of taking them in. Looking a gift horse in the mouth? Ahhhhh YEAH! After the way they have acted, they don't deserve anything they were given let alone a new house. They are adults now, grow up and support yourself!! They are the only ones in this situation that is trying to take advantage of people.
#18 Jul 18, 2007
Atta boy. Good comeback. Again you assume. I have facts. It was your momma I kicked out of my house this morning...no assumptions, I've got full pictures of the ugly hag being shoved out.
#19 Jul 18, 2007
Let me think? Sounds like the old feeling for eons of time. Can you say GREED!!!
#20 Jul 18, 2007
I am dismayed that you would feel like not helping others for fear of being sued. I have learned hard lessons regarding helping others, yet I do not regret lending a hand. I have never been sued, but I have been ripped off. Now I am more cautious with whom I choose to help, but still help whenever I can. I lent my 2nd car to a single mom of 3 for more than a year, I hardly hear from her anymore, but I am still glad I did it. She needed it until she could buy another.
#21 Jul 18, 2007
Wow...only in America.
#22 Jul 18, 2007
maybe the leomitis should be kicked out of the house

Snooki Nixes Pouf To "Look More Mature"—What Have You Done To Look Older?
Pouf of Snooki, we hardly knew ye. You came into our lives, entertained us, and then vanished in what seemed like the blink of an eye. As we saw at the MTV Video Music Awards, the guidette has gotten rid of her signature pouf hairstyle, apparently in favor of a more "mature" look. She says, ""I want to look more mature. The pouf—I've been wearing it since I was 16, so why not switch it up?" We were thinking the change was actually working until Snooki kind of contradicted herself: "Now I have bangs. I haven't had bangs since I was seven, so this is weird." Leave it to Snooki to put her foot in it. Anyway, this got us thinking—what were some of the funny things we did (or, um, still do) to look older? After the jump, Frisky editors chime in. [People StyleWatch]
"I definitely think chopping off my epically long locks in favor of the bob with bangs that I have now has given me a more polished, mature look—that is, when I bother to do my hair. I don't aim to look "more mature" now because I'm 30 and that is no longer the goal, but when I was younger, I always founds that a blazer and a little eyeliner went a long way. I also stopped sucking on a pacifier." – Amelia
"When I was in high school I dotted on a small black beauty mark on my left cheek. People became so used to seeing it that when I stopped wearing it, my grandmother asked my mom if I had my mole removed." – Annika
"I admit to occasionally wearing fake glasses." – Leo
"I finally got rid of the nose ring I had had since I was 16." – Ami
"I'm 30, but look young. So I try to limit the following items to one-at-a-time: Zebra print, studs of any sort, smokey eye done with blue/green/purple." – Kate
"I have big brown eyes and big round cheeks. There is nothing I can do to look more mature." – Jessica
So, fess up! Leave your own in the comments!

Experts have urged borrowers to consider taking advantage of the range of low-priced, fixed-rate products available in the marketplace before interest rates start to rise. With Bank of England governor Mark Carney suggesting that the base rate may increase in the next few months, now could be the last chance to bag one of the 'best-buy' mortgage deals before rates start to creep up.
A potential rate rise is the scenario that millions of borrowers 'have been dreading'. Recent comments from the governor of the Bank of England have suggested that the base rate will increase later this year from its current level of 0.5%. Interest rates have been at this record low for over six years and the Daily Express reports that a possible rate rise is "the news that mortgage borrowers have been dreading".
Mark Carney expect interest rates to rise by around 2.5% over the next three years, meaning millions of borrowers on their lender's standard variable rate (SVR) could end up paying 6% or 7%.
Experts have urged borrowers to take advantage of the raft of record-low deals in the marketplace and to protect themselves against potential rate rises. Although the base rate is not expected to rise until late 2015 lenders are set to price future rate rises into the cost of their mortgage deals.
Dan Plant from a leading price comparison website says "the current mortgage climate is the brightest it has been for some years" while mortgage expert Simon Tyler told the Daily Express that "if you are in a position to fix, doing so now will get you security at a cheap rate".
The newspaper reports that a 0.25% rise in the Base rate would increase repayments on a £150,000 mortgage by £21 per month. This could be a particular headache for borrowers who have stretched themselves to buy or those who have bought recently at higher property prices.
Keith Osborne, editor of new homes portal Whathouse.com, says: "If you can commit to a mortgage for the long term then a five- or even ten-year fixed rate may be the right thing for you to do. There are some exceptionally low rates around at the moment and it's unlikely that they will fall even further.
"However, the issue with these deals is that if your circumstances change during the fixed period you will often face penalties if you want to repay part or all of your mortgage. Think carefully about whether you are able to commit for a long-term fix."

Steak Quesadillas
Steak-and-cheese quesadillas, served with a side of black-bean salsa, make a quick, delicious dinner.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, June 2006
For the Black-Bean Salsa
- 1 can (15 1/2 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
- 2 plum tomatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
For the Quesadillas
- 1 strip steak (8 ounces and 1 inch thick)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 flour tortillas (10-inch or burrito-style)
- 1 1/2 cups grated pepper Jack cheese (6 ounces)
- 1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
In a medium bowl, combine black beans, cilantro, tomatoes, avocado, lime juice, and cayenne; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Rub steak with oregano; season with salt and pepper. In a 10-inch skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over high. Add steak to skillet, and cook, turning once, until browned and still rare, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (Steak will cook a little longer in the quesadillas during baking.) Transfer steak to a cutting board; let rest 5 minutes before slicing 1/4 inch thick.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Brush one side of each tortilla with remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Place 1 tortilla, oiled side down, on each of two baking sheets. Dividing evenly, layer with half the cheese, then onion and steak, ending with remaining cheese. Top with remaining tortillas, oiled side up. Press lightly to seal. Bake, turning over once (with a wide spatula), until lightly browned and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board; cut each quesadilla into 6 triangles. Serve with black-bean salsa and sour cream.

jessi21021 MAY, 2008My husband and I love the bean salsa. For the quesadillas instead of heating them in the oven we just chopped up the steak in pieces and spread it over the tortilla with cheese and heated over the pan so it could melt. A delicious plate.Reply
angelahiggins7 APR, 2008My family really enjoyed this. I liked the low amount of oil needed to make a relatively low fat meal that seemed like fast food.Reply
wannabwestern13 FEB, 2008I skipped the quesadillas and just made the salsa to liven up a deja-food meal of slow-cooked bbq pork ribs, spicy grilled potatoes, and corn. It added a little fiber and flair. I was skeptical of using so much cilantro, but I used an entire half cup as per the recipe. I added about 1/4 tsp of finely granulated garlic and added freshly ground pepper. What a keeper!Reply

Former San Diego Police Chief Bob Burgreen died Thursday at a Los Angeles hospital, where he had undergone a lung transplant a little more than a week ago. He was 69.
Ken Fortier, a former assistant San Diego police chief and longtime friend of Mr. Burgreen's, said he died late Thursday night at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. He had been suffering from pulmonary fibrosis.
Mr. Burgreen had received the transplant Dec. 19 and seemed to be recovering well, Fortier said.
"He was planning on getting out of the hospital this weekend," Fortier said yesterday. "Just last night, he developed a problem; he had a pain in his chest, and he died."
Mr. Burgreen retired to Arkansas in 1993 and three years later returned to law enforcement as the top cop in Longview, Wash. He was a Carlsbad native, graduated from Helix High School in La Mesa and earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from the University of La Verne, south of Los Angeles, before joining the San Diego police force in 1960.
He began his five-year tenure as chief in 1988, succeeding Bill Kolender, now San Diego County sheriff.
When Kolender was chief, he made Mr. Burgreen his second in command.
"I spoke with him the day before yesterday and he was fine. He was upbeat and joking with me. What a tragedy," Kolender said yesterday in a prepared statement. He said the two were close friends for 40 years.
"Bob was a decent, honest and caring friend," the sheriff said.
Kolender said he strongly recommended to the San Diego City Council that Mr. Burgreen succeed him.
"Bob had a unique capacity for seeing what needed to be done and carrying it through," Kolender said. "He was an outstanding chief of police."
Mayor Jerry Sanders, who followed Mr. Burgreen as chief, credited him with leading the department away from responding only to police calls and instead working more closely with neighborhoods to confront chronic problems that often lead to crime.
Police agencies nationwide have since embraced that approach.
Mr. Burgreen also involved retirees in the police force through RSVP, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program.
"Not many people remember that Bob started RSVP," Sanders said. "I think there are still about 500 of them who go out and do a huge number of things to benefit the department. It's had a huge impact."
In 1990, Mr. Burgreen faced criticism about an increase in officer-involved shootings. He instituted less-lethal alternatives, and within two years the number of police shootings dropped dramatically.
Mr. Burgreen made a point of trying to bring more people of color into the department, including its upper ranks – to the irritation of some white officers who felt their own career advancement was hindered as a result.
"We're a multicultural place," he said in a March 1992 interview with The San Diego Union-Tribune, noting that he had heard and heeded criticisms about the department's all-white top brass. "Things will look different around here, let me assure you."
The Rev. George Walker Smith, the San Diego minister who founded the weekly Catfish Club lunchtime speakers bureau, remembered Mr. Burgreen as one of the most effective chiefs to manage the department.
"He was a good, fair and honest person who did not abuse his position as police chief," said Smith, who for decades has known most of the city's leaders personally.
"He was a guy that treated everybody the way they should be treated," Smith said. "He was a person of great integrity."
Mr. Burgreen's most controversial decision came in 1992, when he ended a nearly 30-year affiliation between the department's Explorer program and the Boy Scouts of America because of the Scouts' ouster of a gay El Cajon police officer from an Explorer leadership post.
Mr. Burgreen compared the decision to racial-separation practices before the civil rights movement. But the decision cost him some popularity among many officers who had ties to the Explorer program.
When Mr. Burgreen and his wife, Kathy, left San Diego for their lakefront Arkansas retirement property, he planned to spend time golfing and fishing. But he found he wasn't quite ready for the life of leisure.
Within two years, he had so many volunteer commitments – Boys & Girls Club, church, bank board, development board – that he was rising at 6 a.m. and working 45 hours a week. In 1996, he returned to law enforcement as police chief in Longview, a city near the Washington-Oregon border.
"The fun part of it is I have gone back to more of a hands-on operation," Mr. Burgreen said in a 2002 Union-Tribune interview. "I answer my own phone, and I write my own letters."
In Longview, Mr. Burgreen began police diversity training and created the city's first minority task force, engaging blacks, Latinos, Asians, gays and lesbians in meetings and town-hall gatherings. He stepped down again, this time in June 2004, retiring to Palm Desert.
Even in retirement, he remained involved with public safety.
"Until he got sick, he had a contract with FEMA to go out to disaster scenes and work with victims," said Fortier, the longtime friend. He added that Mr. Burgreen traveled to Mississippi on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's behalf to help Hurricane Katrina survivors.
It was a perfect fit for Mr. Burgreen's personable nature, Fortier said.
"The guy was extremely good with people," he said. "He was very good at keeping people going in the right direction."
Mr. Burgreen is survived by his wife, Kathy Burgreen; daughter, Laura Aragon; parents, Bill and Ima Jo Burgreen; brother, Gerald Burgreen; sisters, Charlotte O'Hare, Joyce Becker and Janet White; and a granddaughter.
Services are scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednesday at College Avenue Baptist Church, 4747 College Ave., San Diego. Interment will be private.

Discussion in 'College Football & the NFL Draft' started by Blake, Jan 8, 2009.
What do you think?
Me personally, I am going to choose a secondary player. Orakpo and Jenkins are hard to pass up though.
Mays gives us a presence in the secondary that was lacking most of our existence.
I wanted to put down Raji so bad but you can't pass up a cornerback like Jenkins. This is assuming those players were available... Jenkins is it. Potential true shut down cornerback. I think our cb's are okay and have a lot of potential, we've got bigger areas of need... but adding Jenkins would make our CB's the strength of our team... it would rival our wr's. Get a safety in the 2nd? and we'd have a Super, Young secondary. A DL coach like Marinelli could get us some DL fa's or a 3rd rd DT/DE...
Malcolm Jenkins, Dunta Robinson, Jacques Reeves, Fred Bennett and Antwan Molden.
Curry. This team could use some help bad at LB.
Mays is tempting but I don't think you can pass up Orakpo. Mario & Orakpo would be a scary D-line.
Mario Williams' clone
I have no clue....
I need to see them run around in shorts first
I voted for Mays as #1 but Orakpo is 1A . I would also like to see more of E. Brown , Curry , Raji , or Jenkins depending on Dunta .
Guys I don't like are M. Johnson and W. Moore .
I'm going to have to go with Orakpo for one reason.
If something happens to Mario and we don't have atleast a "B" rated player on the other side of him we'll be screwed.
Not knocking your thinking one bit because I agree with it 100% but what happens if heaven forbid Steve Slaton goes down!??!?
Most of these guys won't be available at #15 but if they were it'd be a really tough choice.
1. Aaron Curry
1a. Malcolm Jenkins
1b. Taylor Mays
1c. Everette Brown
2. Brian Orakpo
That's why I want us to go RB in the second or third...And it's also why I son't want a bruiser...
We need a back up RB who can function as more than just a short yardage guy...
You know my answer........"Starting at safety, #22, out of USC, Taylor Mays!"
I'm surprised no one has picked Raji yet.
I picked Curry, because with him, our LB corps will be frightening.
What if the BPA at #15 is Oher , Monroe , or one of the other elite LT's ?
I voted for Orakpo, but here's my short list of who I'd take for team needs. Maybe one will fall to 15.
1. DE Orakpo
2. FS Mays
3. NT Raji
4. DE Brown
5. LB Curry (best talent)
6. CB Jenkins (2nd best talent)
I'm not so crazy about drafting any of the others at 15. MLB is not a need.
You forgot none of the above !
Orakpo is an obvious first priority IMO, followed by Mays. I would be beyond satisfied with either of those guys, but the chances are pretty slim I think.
I think it's too early to tell. I still need to see Mel hype some of these guys up so I can bump them down some. =D

The Taylor season continues, offering more chances to see his recent Mexican-themed companion pieces "De Sueños (Of Dreams)" and "De Sueños Que Se Repiten (Of Recurring Dreams)." The revolving repertory also alights on the delicately sad "Equinox" (1983), with its famous solo, the whimsical "Diggity" (1978), with its obstacle course of metal dogs, and last year's affecting "Lines of Loss." (City Center, 131 W. 55th St. 212-581-1212. March 4-6 and March 11 at 7, March 7 at 8, March 8 at 2 and 8, and March 9 at 3. Through March 16.)
Capable if infrequently inspiring, the stalwart troupe soldiers on into its twenty-fifth year. A new version of "Carmen," choreographed by and starring Pilar Andújar, sparks some passion in the normally tame company, fuelled by Calvin Hazen's score, which interlaces flamenco with strands of Bizet. Narrative impact isn't a strong suit, though, and "Estilos Flamencos," the program's other offering, avoids it in favor of a showcase of solos and duets. (Joyce Theatre, 175 Eighth Ave., at 19th St. 212-242-0800. March 4-5 at 7:30, March 6-7 at 8, March 8 at 2 and 8, and March 9 at 2 and 7:30.)
For the past few years, this postmodernist choreographer has been playing with ballet technique—pulled-up bodies, stretched legs, pointe shoes—and the intelligent use of classical music (especially in the Baroque style), creating offkilter movement and surprising imagery. Her "Dream Sequence (No Secrets)," a self-described "love letter to romantic ballets" (think "Giselle"), incorporates solos, duets, and ensemble dancing, navigating between imagery and abstraction. (City Center Studio 5, at 130 W. 56th St. 212-352-3101. March 4-8 at 7:30.)
Week four of the 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Festival brings new works by three choreographers whose early dance experience has roots in Israel. "Geisha," by LeeSaar (made up of Saar Harari and Lee Sher), is a trio with a sexy, raw edge that belies an underlying sense of vulnerability. Netta Yerushalmy's "Bilocale—Come Closer Please" is a claustrophobic duet for two women interacting uncomfortably in the heightened intimacy of a confined space. (Ailey Citigroup Theatre, 405 W. 55th St. 212-415-5500. March 5-8 at 8 and March 9 at 2.)
For hundreds of years, the Ghawazee dancers of Egypt have travelled the country performing raqs sharqi, or "Eastern dance," more commonly known as belly dancing. Vulgarized in movies and lowly café performances, Eastern dance is going through a revival of sorts, of which the Tunisian-born dancer Leila Haddad is a prime example. At Skirball for her New York début, she brings a program of dances illustrating the origins of raqs sharqi, accompanied by a seven-member ensemble of musicians on traditional instruments. (566 LaGuardia Pl. 212-545-7536. March 6-7 at 8.)
Jennifer Wright Cook's "Every Artist Is a Narcissist After All: Bring Back the Boo and Other Short Selected Self-Indulgences" has nearly as many elements as words in its title, including home movies, surveillance video of the audience, a gospel singer, and a solo for Cook as Ophelia. Wendy Blum's "Fully Manicured Raw Spots" takes off from David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" and moves into an absurd tangle of bodies scented by popcorn, garlic, and onions cooked onstage. (St. Mark's In-the-Bowery, Second Ave. at 10th St. 212-674-8194. March 6-8 at 8:30.)
The liquid and charming French-Guianese tap dancer brings his African-diaspora travelling circus to Town Hall. In recent incarnations, he's struck a rare balance between tradition (percussion, dance, and song) and modern technology (electronic manipulation and psychedelic video by Jean de Boysson). His crew for this visit includes the Ivory Coast stilt walker Vado Diomande and his fellow-tappers Roxane Butterfly and Baakari Wilder. (123 W. 43rd St. 212-307-4100. March 7 at 8.)
Children of an Irish-Canadian fiddler and a Cape Breton step dancer, the eight Leahy siblings grew up playing festivals and competitions. Their performances as adults still have the feel of a talent show put on by a gifted family, augmented by marriage. Everyone plays multiple instruments, but it's usually the women who dance, in a tight unison line (one of the ladies taps and fiddles at the same time). The music strays from traditional Celtic ballads and jigs into bland country-pop originals. (Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts, Brooklyn College. 718-951-4500. March 7 at 8.)
As part of "WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution," P.S. 1 screens a film of the sixties revolutionary Yvonne Rainer's landmark solo "Trio A" and presents live performances of that and other early pieces with the able help of Pat Catterson, Emily Coates, Patricia Hoffbauer, Keith Sabado, and Sally Silvers. Later in the afternoon, Silvers, an iconoclast in her own right, offers three of her own works, plus "Little Lieutenant," a Weimar-themed film she made with Henry Hills in 1993. (22-25 Jackson Ave., at 46th Ave., Long Island City. 718-784-2084. Rainer: March 8 at 2. Silvers: March 8 at 4.)
The ensemble returns to New York for a weeklong celebration of its fiftieth season. On the program is a technical tour de force by Twyla Tharp, "Brahms Paganini." William Whitener, one of the dancers who originally performed this work, in 1980, is now the group's artistic director, and his piece "First Position," set to the music of Glazunov, joins "Hey-Hey, Going to Kansas City," a new work by the veteran modern-dance choreographer Donald McKayle, which pays tribute to that city's jazz scene. (175 Eighth Ave., at 19th St. 212-242-0800. March 11 at 7:30. Through March 16.)

Google's chairman Eric Schmidt has said the company's methods of paying tax are legal and "proudly" capitalist, in an interview with Bloomberg in New York overnight.
Australia along with France, the UK, and Italy are making moves to crack down on Google and other multinational companies, accusing them of using complex structures to dodge tax bills.
Mr Schmidt was unappologetic about Google's approach, said Google's efforts around taxes are legal.
"We pay lots of taxes; we pay them in the legally prescribed ways," he said.
"I am very proud of the structure that we set up. We did it based on the incentives that the governments offered us to operate."
He said Google wouldn't turn down big savings in taxes.
"It's called capitalism," he said. "We are proudly capitalistic. I'm not confused about this."
Google is reported to have minimised about $US2 billion in worldwide income taxes in 2011 by shifting $US9.8 billion in revenue into a Bermuda shell company, almost double the total from three years before, according to filings Bloomberg cited.
Estimates have put Google's Australian tax bill at $74,176 or $781,471 for last year, despite an estimated $1 billion-plus in revenue.
Which led to assistant Treasurer David Bradbury to unveil transfer pricing laws last month that could give the Australian Taxation Office more powers to restructure cross-border transactions.
And, to clamp down on methods including what is known as the "Double Irish Dutch Sandwich".
Starbucks, also under scrutiny is the UK, bowed to pressure this week and proposed to pay more corporate tax over the next two years.
Meanwhile, Mr Schmidt likened Google Android's growing lead over Apple's IOS to Microsoft's expansion in desktop software in the 1990s.
"This is a huge platform change; this is of the scale of 20 years ago -- Microsoft versus Apple," he said. "We're winning that war pretty clearly now."
"The core strategy is to make a bigger pie," he said. "We will end up with a not perfectly controlled and not perfectly managed bigger pie by virtue of open systems."
Android snared 72 per cent of the market in the third quarter, while Apple had 14 per cent, according to Gartner. Customers are activating more than 1.3 million Android devices a day, Schmidt said.
Australian sales of devices running on Google's Android are overtaking Apple's iOS for the first time, according to the latest figures from tech research firm Telsyte.

Which of these power bats is a better fantasy bet this year?
I think, by this point, we all get the drill with these Tales of the Tape. For those just tuning in, I'll be covering two players ranked next to each other in our tiered rankings for third base category-by-category, declaring a winner at the end. This week, we have Evan Longoria pitted against Carlos Santana. An important note before we begin: with some early ADP data in, Longoria is crushing Santana thus far, with an average draft position around 54 to Santana's 74. As we'll see, that is not representative of the production gap we can expect from them. Now, on to the good stuff.

The Indians catcher-turned-third baseman has scuffled through two months, but there are reasons to be optimistic.
The Indians, fresh off a Wild Card Game appearance in 2013, are in last place in the AL Central. While no one player is to blame for the team's struggles, Carlos Santana's early-season woes are eye-catching. Everyone expected Santana, who has transitioned to third base after spending his first four seasons at catcher, to struggle on defense. Yet nobody anticipated his .159/.327/.301 slash line through 220 plate appearances. The question at hand then, for the Indians and for fantasy owners alike, is whether Santana will be a productive player from this point on. The answer, as it so happens, is yes.
The biggest pimple on the oily face that is Santana's batted-ball data is the lack of line drives. Santana is no stranger to low line drive rates—regularly producing below the league-average—but his 11.7 percent clip in 2014 would represent a new career-low. The line drives he's missing have mostly turned into ground balls, though his fly ball rate has increased as well. He's maintained a 20-homer pace because his home-run-per-fly-ball rate has remained static even with the increase in fly balls.

How have players who've changed positions from catcher (like Joe Mauer and Carlos Santana) historically tended to do?
One of the favorite storylines this time of year is the positional change, whether it's putting on an entirely different kind of glove or just moving over a few dozen feet to the left or right. Predicting performance changes is hard, but a positional change is something we can see, so it's something we can write.
One of the least-favorite storylines—or at least most confusing—is when a positional change comes with a promise that the player will be able to improve on offense because he can spend more time working on it.

Checking in on Oliver Perez' availability and Carlos Santana's transition to third base.
Four teams in on Oliver Perez
Cafardo believes that Perez could choose his team in the coming days so that he can report to camp and catch up with the pitchers who settled in last week. The four teams that are courting him remain a mystery, but Bob Dutton, who covers the Mariners for the Tacoma News Times, hasn't heard anything to suggest that he might be back. First-year manager Lloyd McClendon already has a couple of lefties at his disposal in Charlie Furbush and Lucas Luetge, and the Mariners invited Joe Beimel and Randy Wolf to camp to compete for jobs.

Notes on prospects and big leaguers playing abroad, including Brewers shortstop Yadiel Rivera and Indians catcher Carlos Santana.
Yadiel Rivera, SS, Brewers (Criollos de Caguas, PRWL): 1-1. It was a slow night in the Caribbean with only two games between the three leagues, so coming in as a defensive replacement and getting a hit gets you on the list today. Plus, the Brewers system needs all the love it can get. Rivera is a plus defender at shortstop, which gives him a chance to emerge as a legitimate prospect if he can improve his bat even a little bit.

From Buster Posey to Christian Bethancourt, this list is loaded with both big leaguers and high-upside prospects.
The Primer:
The catcher position is a tricky one, as there are a lot of players at or near the top of the list who may be playing another position in three or so years. That, plus with most leagues using one active catcher, prospects are featured a little more prominently due to both the major-league depth right now and the fact that there are diminishing returns to carrying too many backstops.

In the debut edition of the Three True Outcomes podcast, our fantasy crew looks at catchers for Scoresheet leagues.
Welcome to BP's take on Scoresheet fantasy baseball. Scoresheet, for those unfamiliar, is a type of fantasy baseball in which your drafted team plays simulated games each week against other teams in your league, with your players' performance depending on how they played in real life that week—but not entirely, unlike in a roto or head-to-head league. Other differences from most roto leagues include the importance of real-life fielding ability and a tendency for rosters to be rather deep. While many Scoresheet leagues have their own unique quirky rules, most allow players to be kept for an indefinite number of years, and allow rookies to be kept very cheaply. For non-Scoresheet players in deep or dynasty leagues, we urge you to check out BP's new TINO podcast, but after you listen to that, we think we will be able to provide some supplementary value as well. Or, better yet, sign up for a Scoresheet team to explore a whole new world of fantasy baseball.
We want to thank BP for this chance to contribute to their suite of fantasy baseball offerings. Our goal is for the weekly column and podcast to complement each other. Both will cover similar ground and maybe even the same jokes. But we believe reading the article will make the podcast more meaningful. And vice versa. In upcoming weeks we look forward to joining in the BP Fantasy fun by taking a position-by-position look at the upcoming season, starting with catcher this week. We've got lots more planned after that, but if there's anything you'd like us to tackle, please feel free to contact us @TTOScoresheet on Twitter or at email@example.com

This showdown between 27-year-old catchers might be closer than you think.
Today's "Tale of the Tape" focuses on a pair of 27-year-old catchers from a pair of midwestern cities: Cleveland's Carlos Santana and Milwaukee's Jonathan Lucroy. Both finished 2013 as top-five catchers sans Victor Martinez, with the Brewer getting the better of the Indian (no. 3 to no. 5). While that might surprise some people given Santana's pedigree as a top-flight prospect and Lucroy's quiet ascent to the top, that doesn't mean one is overrated and one is underrated. Both catchers are in their primes and should continue to provide top-five upside in 2014; today's exercise examines who has a better chance of finishing the season on top. Mike Gianella lists Santana and Lucroy as four-star players and ranks them back-to-back at no. 4 and no. 5, respectively, so choosing between the two on draft day could come down to a matter of personal preference.

A look at how catchers stack up for fantasy purposes between now and 2016.
Everyone in fantasy sports loves to look ahead. Even in the throes of a pennant race, you can fire up a conversation about next year's first round and it will go on for an hour. With that in mind, the BP fantasy team will be taking a long-view look at every position this offseason with three-year rankings (composite value over the next three seasons). Since it is Catcher Week, the backstops will kick things off. Catchers are particularly difficult to project over a three-year period because you have guys that shift off of the position entirely while the learning curve for young guys is so sharp given all of their defensive duties.
With Joe Mauer done at the position after this year, he's not going to rank on the list, as even a first-place finish this year wouldn't be enough. Meanwhile there is some projection to be done with guys who could move off the position so you will see some of those guys much lower than you might anticipate since I have them delivering zero value at the position in year three.

Buster Posey and Joe Mauer headline a large group of high-end backstops, followed by thinner groupings below.
Today we kick off our positional tier rankings. For the second year in a row, we have made this into a collaborative effort. Players at each position will be divided into five tiers, represented by the number of stars.
Five-star players are the studs at their position. In general, they are the players that will be nabbed in the first couple of rounds of the draft, and they'll fetch auction bids in excess of $30. Four-star players are a cut below the studs at the position. They will also be earl- round selections, and they're projected to be worth more than $20 in most cases. Three-star players are the last tier in which players are projected to provide double-digit dollar value in auctions, and two-star players are projected to earn single digits in dollar value in auctions. One-star players are late-round sleepers and roster placeholders. The positional tiers aren't simply a regurgitation of last year's values but rather try to offer some insights into what we expect will happen in 2014.

Restore Hetch Hetchy can achieve success in one of three places— San Francisco, Congress, or the State and Federal Courts.
If restoration follows the same pattern as the successful efforts to restore Mono Lake and flows to the San Joaquin River, a legal victory will create political support and force San Francisco to the negotiating table.
San Francisco
Restore Hetch Hetchy would prefer to work directly with San Francisco on a fair and cost-effective plan that will return Hetch Hetchy Valley to Yosemite National Park and all people, while continuing to deliver an uninterrupted supply of high-quality Tuolumne River water to San Francisco and other Bay Area communities. To that end we proposed a cooperative planning process on the ballot in San Francisco in 2012.
Unfortunately, some city leaders felt threatened and convinced elected officials to unite behind a "don't even think about it" point of view. While the ballot measure campaign effectively educated much of the United States about the singular destruction of one of our flagship national parks a century ago, our planning measure lost at the ballot box. While restore Hetch Hetchy has more members in San Francisco than any other city, no elected official is willing at this time to openly support restoration.
We are therefore focusing our efforts in Congress, and in the state and federal courts. But we look forward to the day when elected officials in San Francisco will embrace restoration of Yosemite and work with us on a cooperative solution.
Several members of Congress have keen interest in restoration. The uncommon influence that San Francisco presently retains in both houses will soon change and provide opportunities for legislation to heal this greatest blemish in any of America's national parks.
State and Federal courts
We are already intervening in the relicensing of Don Pedro Reservoir, downstream of Hetch Hetchy on the Tuolumne River. San Francisco has asserted that proposed flow increases to help fisheries would have devastating economic impacts. With the assistance of counsel at Hogan Lovells, we have challenged San Francisco's refusal to evaluate water supply alternatives, which other major water agencies in California have implemented in recent years and which will be necessary to replace a modest portion of supply when Yosemite's Hetch Hetchy Valley is restored.
Restore Hetch Hetchy has retained local counsel to pursue litigation over San Francisco's ongoing violation of both State water law and the federal Raker Act that allowed Yosemite's Hetch Hetchy Valley to be dammed a century ago. We look forward to our day in court when we can directly challenge the use of Hetch Hetchy as a reservoir in light of the plethora of water supply alternatives that are available.
Your help is needed
As we continue to educate the public and the media, we are also talking with Bay Area communities (beyond San Francisco) about regional water system investments that would improve local supply reliability while simultaneously making restoration of Yosemite's Hetch Hetchy Valley possible.
With the help and support of our friends, we will apply pressure on these multiple fronts until the Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park is returned to the American people.

Legislation to assist NY's disabled vets signed into law
Albany, N.Y., May 13—Legislation co-sponsored by State Senator Tom O'Mara (R,C-Big Flats) to further assist New York State businesses owned by service-connected disabled veterans, has been signed into law.
The new law, known as the "Service-Disabled Veterans-Owned Business Act," builds on last year's enactment of a "Hire-a-Vet" business tax credit that O'Mara also co-sponsored.
"I'm proud to be part of legislative actions over the past two years to honor and invest in the future of our wounded warriors and their families. These new laws will carry on as meaningful and practical tributes to the service and sacrifice of our disabled veterans and their families," said O'Mara.
The law (S.6865/A.9135) was unanimously approved by the Senate in late March. It creates a Division of Service-Disabled Veterans' Business Development within the Office of General Services (OGS) to ensure, through set-asides and other initiatives, that six-percent of state contracts go to small businesses owned by service-connected disabled veterans. The move mirrors previously approved Senate legislation that O'Mara co-sponsored known as the "Jobs For Heroes" program.
O'Mara highlighted federal Bureau of Labor statistics from 2012 showing that unemployment reached a staggering 20 percent for veterans under the age of 30 who recently returned home from Iraq and Afghanistan. Moreover, statistics show that a significant number of post/9-11 veterans report service-connected disabilities. Approximately 88,000 New Yorkers served in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Under the state's Hire-A-Vet tax credit, which was approved last March as part of the 2013-14 state budget and took effect this year, businesses become eligible for a state tax credit after they've employed a post-9/11 veteran for one year. The credit will equal up to 10% of a veteran's salary – 15% of disabled veteran's salary – with the credits equaling up to $5,000 for a non-disabled vet and $15,000 for a disabled vet.
One in seven veterans is self-employed or small business owners. New York has the fourth-highest number of veteran-owned businesses – trailing only California, Texas and Florida.

NFL commissioner is willing to work for $1
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says he will work for $1 if the NFL has a work stoppage after the Collective Bargaining Agreement ends in March. Goodell, who makes about $10 million a year, said the league's chief negotiator, Jeff Pash, also will work for $1. Pash reportedly makes about $5 million a year. So, is there going to be a work stoppage in the NFL next season? Who knows, but Sports Illustrated senior NFL writer Peter King is about as plugged into the NFL as anyone and King said on the latest episode of HBO's Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel that he believes there will be a work stoppage next season.
