Copper soared to a new record of $4.2705 per pound on Tuesday in New York, and is up 28.3% this year. Here, the Cerro Verde copper mine in the Atacama desert near Arequipa, Peru.
As commodity prices soar to new records, the ability of a few traders to hold huge swaths of the world's stockpiles is coming under scrutiny.
The latest example is in the copper market, where a single trader has reported it owns 80% to 90% of the copper sitting in London Metal Exchange warehouses, equal to about half of the world's exchange-registered copper stockpile and worth about $3 billion.
The report coincided with copper prices soaring to new records on Tuesday. Commodities prices rallied along with stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 55.03 points, or 0.48%, to 11533.16, its highest level since August 2008. Crude oil jumped to its highest level in more than two years and topped $90 a barrel in late electronic trading in New York. Corn and soybeans rose amid worries about hot weather in Argentina.
Copper soared to a new record of $4.2705 per pound on Tuesday in New York, and is up 28.3% this year. The LME's three-month copper contract closed at $9,353.50 a metric ton, up 1.6% on the day, a new record.
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. recently had a large position in copper, though it is unclear whether the U.S. bank increased its holdings, or whether a new player has taken dominant position.
"Regardless of who owns it, the only thing of note here is that we are being told that one person has a substantial position," said David Threlkeld, president of Resolved Inc., a metals consultancy.
Single traders also own large holdings of other metals. One trader holds as much as 90% of the exchange's aluminum stocks. In the nickel, zinc and aluminum alloy markets, single traders own between 50% to 80% of those metals and one firm has 40% to 50% of the LME's tin stockpiles.
While commodities exchanges scrutinize all holdings to ensure a single player isn't trying to corner the market, and many of the positions are owned by big firms on behalf of clients, the large holdings do result in a concentration of ownership that could skew prices.
At the same time, thousands of new investors are flooding into the commodities markets, either directly or through exchange-traded funds, seeking to take advantage of an expected rise in prices of raw materials as the global economy continues to recover.
While commodities regulators in the U.S. are considering restricting the amount of futures contracts any one trader can hold, they have no jurisdiction over physical holdings.
The LME has strict rules to prevent market squeezes but does not limit how much metal a single trader may hold. Instead, the exchange demands the dominant holder make metal available for short-term periods at very limited profit margins. The LME says it closely watches individual holdings.
Copper demand is likely to outstrip supply this year by an estimated 455,000 metric tons, says Barclays Capital. Copper inventories at the LME have been declining since February.
Consumption is growing rapidly in China, Brazil and the U.S. And the creation of ETFs to hold physical metal is helping drive demand. On Tuesday, ETF Securities, a London-based provider, said that its newly-announced copper-backed ETF has added about 850.5 tons of copper, up 43%, to reach 1,445.5 tons.
Last month, the LME reported that a single holder owned more than 50% of the exchange's copper. People familiar with the matter at the time said J.P. Morgan was the holder. On Tuesday, the LME reported that a single holder now has as much as 90% of the stockpiles, without naming the firm. The LME reports data two days in arrears, so the position increased on Friday.
In the aluminum market, about 70% of the LME metal is locked up, MF Global base metals analyst Edward Meir said during LME Week in London in October.
LME aluminum stocks currently total around 4.3 million metric tons.
As one example, Swiss commodity trading firm Glencore International AG bought about 1.6 million tons of the metal from United Co. Rusal Ltd. earlier this year, market participants said at the time. Glencore then turned around and presold the metal. So even though the aluminum is sitting in LME warehouses, visible to all traders, it is effectively locked up.
These sorts of deals have skewed physical trading in these metals, as other consumers have paid increasing premiums to get hold of stocks, even though the metal looked like it was available in warehouses.
Holding ready-for-delivery metals on an exchange isn't a cheap undertaking for traders, who are responsible for paying insurance, storage and financing costs. And "the end game is to find somebody to buy something you have already bought for a higher price," Mr. Threkeld said.
The recent boom in metal prices has enabled traders to purchase the physical metal, sell a futures contract at a much higher price and still make a profit after paying for storage and insurance.

WNBA Finals preview: Storm, former MVP Breanna Stewart vs. No. 1 Aces, current MVP A'ja Wilson
The No. 1 Las Vegas Aces and No. 2 Seattle Storm flew above the rest all season long while the WNBA completed its season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. It took them meeting on the league's final day to determine the top seed. And now they'll face off in a best-of-five series for the championship.
The WNBA Finals begins Friday between the two squads that each finished the season 18-4. It will pit the two favorites for MVP against each other in the Aces' A'ja Wilson, who earned the honor, and the Storm's Breanna Stewart, the 2018 winner who returned this year from an Achilles tear.
Here's how to watch, what to watch for and the history that is at stake this October.
When are the WNBA Finals on TV?
It is one of the most nationally friendly TV schedules in the history of the league with two Finals games scheduled for ABC, including Game 5 if necessary. It's the first time either of those have happened, per ESPN.
Game 1. Friday, Oct. 2 | Storm at Aces, 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2
Game 2. Sunday, Oct. 4 | Storm at Aces, 3 p.m. ET on ABC
Game 3. Tuesday, Oct. 6 | Aces at Storm, 7 p.m. ET on ESPN
Game 4 (if necessary). Oct. 8 | Aces at Storm, 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2
Game 5 (if necessary). Oct. 11 | Storm at Aces, 3 p.m. ET on ABC.
Storm stacked after 2018 title run
The Storm have 2018 Finals MVP Stewart, 11-time All-Star Sue Bird and a nearly full team that won the '18 title together. Their bench, especially point guard Jordin Canada, has starting experience from last season when Stewart (Achilles) and Bird (knee) missed time. And they're coming off a dominating sweep of the Minnesota Lynx in the league semifinals.
The Storm ranks first in offensive rating (110.4) and in defensive rating (95.9). The team had the only unanimous All-Defensive First Team selection in forward Alysha Clark. The 6-foot-4 Stewart was also named to the team. And Natasha Howard was the 2019 defensive player of the year.
Facing the Seattle offense is like a game of Whac-a-Mole that's on level 10; someone is going to step up and successfully take the reins when a teammate is locked down. Jewell Loyd did that in the first two games against the Lynx. She scored 25 and 20, respectively.
When the Lynx zoned in on her, Stewart stood up with 31 points in Game 3. She averaged 23 points, 8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks in the three-game series. She's shooting at a clip (45.5 percent) on par with her career playoff average, but hasn't hit as well from behind the arc (4 of 14). Expect that to change as she continues to shake off rust from a more than seven-day layoff prior to the semifinals.
The key loss is Sami Whitcomb, who left the bubble this week to return home to Australia for the birth of her first child. Whitcomb came off the bench in all 25 games, averaging 8.1 points in the regular season and 5.0 in the postseason.
Aces rely on Wilson, go without Hamby
Las Vegas was not supposed to be here, at least that was the thought at the beginning of the bubble season. Now the Aces are three wins from a WNBA title playing behind the league MVP in Wilson, a 6-foot-4 forward. They won a tight, but at times sloppy, defensive battle versus the Connecticut Sun in Game 5 of the league semifinals.
The Aces are right behind the Storm in offensive rating (109.6) and defensive rating (99.0). They're a team built inside the paint and rely on free throws (averaging 23 per game) to make up for the lack of 3-point shooting. Las Vegas took the fewest attempts from behind the arc (253) of any team in the league by more than 100 shots.
The downside is that the Aces advanced because of Wilson. Period. Full stop. McCoughtry, who missed 2019 with an ACL injury, had an incredible Game 4 and she is the reason Las Vegas got to a Game 5 and ultimately the Finals. But otherwise, it's been Wilson carrying the load and that's just not going to work in a Finals series against a star-studded offensive powerhouse. If a few more of the Sun's shots had fallen in that final game, the Aces would be back in Vegas.
In five postseason games, Wilson is averaging a double-double of 21.8 points and 10.4 rebounds along with 3.0 blocks. The regular season leader in free throw makes and attempts is 27 of 38 in the postseason. McCoughtry is averaging 16 points thanks to 20-plus point outings in Games 4 and 5. She's shooting 45.5 percent (5 of 11) from behind the arc. Otherwise there hasn't been much help.
They Aces are without back-to-back Sixth Woman of the Year Dearica Hamby. Hamby will not play again this season after tearing a ligament in her right knee. She's a presence the Aces value on both the offensive and defensive sides and Aces coach Bill Laimbeer said on a call with media before the series it will hurt not having the extra body on Stewart.
The 6-foot-3 forward averaged 13.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals in the regular season. In three playoff games she shot 52.9 percent and averaged 8, 3 rebounds and 2.3 assists points in 25 minutes.
Danielle Robinson, Kayla McBride and Jackie Young, who came off the bench in all five games, will need to meet the moment.
Head to head: Aces win both, but with Bird out
The Aces have yet to face a fully loaded Seattle Storm squad this season. Bird did not play in either game, both of which were Las Vegas victories, and Stewart did not play in the finale.
Game 1 (Aug. 22): Aces 82, Storm 74
The Aces went on a 11-2 run in the second quarter to put the game away behind Wilson's 23 points and 14 rebounds. As usual, she made double-digit trips to the line and made 9 of 12 shots. The team won it on the boards, 44-34.
The Storm had a poor shooting day, going 37.3 percent overall including hitting 7 of 26 3-point attempts. Stewart scored 19 points and had 18 rebounds.
Game 2 (Sept. 13): Aces 88, Storm 86
It came down to the final minutes in the second matchup and the Aces kept hold of the No. 1 seed with the win. Wilson and Hamby each scored 23 points. The team was 18 of 27 from the free throw line. Without Bird or Stewart, it was Loyd who stepped up and scored 30 points for the Storm.
History on the line
It will again be a WNBA Finals with history at stake. The Aces are going for their first WNBA title in franchise history and so is Team USA member McCoughtry, who ranks sixth all-time in points per game with 18.8. If the Las Vegas wins, it will be the fifth consecutive year the regular season MVP has led their team to the championship.
The Aces started as the Utah Starzz in the league's inaugural 1997 season and moved to San Antonio in 2003. The 2008 team reached the WNBA Finals, but was swept by Laimbeer's Detroit Shock. After three consecutive seasons as the worst in the league (2015-17), the franchise moved to Vegas for the 2018 season.
McCoughtry, in her 11th season, led the Atlanta Dream to the 2010, 2011 and 2013 Finals during her decade there. They were swept by the Storm and Lynx, respectively.
The Storm are well versed in titles and are playing for the other end of history. A championship would pull Seattle into a tie with the Lynx and Houston Comets for most all-time. The Lynx dynasty won four titles between 2011 and 2017. The Comets, which folded in '08, won the first four championships in league history.
Seattle has lost only one Finals game in franchise history. It beat the Sun, 2-1, in the best-of-three 2004 series. Then it swept the Dream in the new best-of-five format in 2010 and the Washington Mystics in 2018. Bird, the No. 1 draft pick in 2002, has been there for all of them. The oldest player in the league turns 40 on Oct. 16.

July 7, 2001: Brady Anderson's bases-loaded triple gives the slumping Orioles a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies before an announced 49,072, then the largest gathering to see a regular-season game at Camden Yards. "That's the first big base hit we've had in the last ... six days," manager Mike Hargrove says. The Birds will lose 14 of their next 16 games.
July 6, 1983: Dick Edell becomes the seventh men's lacrosse coach in Terrapins history and declares: "It's great to be home. Maryland is going to beat everybody." The Terps lure the 39-year-old Edell, a Towson State graduate, away from Army, where he turned a moribund team into a national contender. He'll coach at College Park for 18 years, compiling a 171-76 record.
July 6, 1976: Betty Lang, a Howard County high school coach for 35 years, retires after a remarkable career in which her field hockey, basketball and softball teams won 89 percent of their games and 67 county championships. "I had good material to work with ... and lots of luck," says Lang, who coached 54 undefeated teams and finished with a won-lost record of 1,348-172.
July 4, 1944: Set ablaze by a cigarette stub, 30-year-old Oriole Park burns to the ground within an hour. The eight-alarm fire quickly envelops the wooden structure at Greenmount and 29th Street, destroying all of the equipment and most of the uniforms of the International League's first-place team. The Orioles move to Municipal (later Memorial) Stadium, heretofore a football venue, as Mayor Theodore McKeldin proclaims, "The show must go on, and Baltimore wants that pennant."
July 4, 1932: The Orioles' Buzz Arlett, dubbed "the Babe Ruth of the minor leagues," slugs five home runs in a doubleheader victory over Reading, giving him 41 round-trippers for the season. It's the second time this year that the 33-year-old Arlett has hit four consecutive homers in one game. The following day, in an exhibition game against the New York Yankees at Oriole Park, Arlett homers again. Babe Ruth, however, does not.
July 7, 1909: Enraged by the umpire's calls during the Orioles' loss to Providence, hundreds in attendance at Oriole Park rush the field to attack the arbiter, William "Lord" Byron. In the stampede, part of the grandstand collapses and fans plummet 10 feet to the ground. Though police shield Byron, one man is arrested for striking him and two others are fined for making remarks to the umpire deemed "disorderly in character."
July 3, 1986: Orioles pitcher Tommy Hunter.

Most land-based casinos offer roulette promotions to increase customers. You will also find promotions in online roulette through bonuses. If casinos only offer a promotion to increase visitors in general, it will not benefit them much. It cannot be enough that only the frequency of casino visits increase. Guests should play so the casinos can make a profit. Although it seems that promotions work in the casino's favor, roulette players also get benefits when they choose to avail of featured incentives.
Save Money on Food or Parking
Brick and mortar casinos offer roulette promotions to respond to slow times of the day. Promos also target low roller customers that visit infrequently. Most casinos would set up a promo using vouchers for food, drinks, or even parking spaces in exchange for playing at the tables. You do not have to spend all of your time playing roulette.
You can move around, play other casino games, and still benefit from the casino promo. It might be difficult to find this type of promotion online for roulette, but welcome bonuses have the same effect. If you manage to meet the wager requirements and refrain from spending the entire signup bonus on bets, you can withdraw the money and use it for future roulette sessions.
Surprising Prizes
Most roulette players with strategies find the game exciting since it keeps you on your toes. No one can tell where the ball will land next. It can surprise even those players that are primed and ready for each game. Mystery roulette promotions found both online and offline add a fresh spin to the game.
The casinos that offer mystery incentives invest on the element of surprise to keep customers coming back. The surprise can come in different forms. It can also be someone handing you bonus money in the middle of a roulette game.
It Boosts Your Strategy
Most online roulette incentives can make negative progression systems work better thanks to an extended bankroll. If you find ideal bonus deals online, you can use that extra ammo to boost your strategy. With an improved strategy, you can afford to play roulette regularly. You just might gather enough points to cash in another reward as well.
More Reasons to Play
If you cannot get enough of roulette, exciting promos will draw you further into playing. Roulette is a fun and challenging game already. For players who enjoy assessing strategies, promos can make the game more interesting. Extra game credits, match play coupons, and bonuses are readily available in both offline and online casinos.
How You Can Get the Most Benefit
Land-based casinos that offer roulette promotions target existing customers to get them to visit more frequently. With online roulette, most promos target new players. It does not matter where you play, but it is important to avail of promos while they last. Most casinos offer consistent promos anyway so if it works, they will offer it for an extended period. It can increase the number of playing customers, but more importantly, it can help you save money. Promos also reward roulette players with mystery prizes, a strategy boost, and more game time.

Jennie Elizabeth Hughes Park History
The City of West University Place held a ceremonial groundbreaking on June 13, 2018 to kick-off the construction of Jennie Elizabeth Hughes Park, 6446 Sewanee. The occasion commemorated the start of construction activities which begin on Monday, June 18, and the park is projected to open in October of this year.
The 15,000 square foot park includes a covered front porch entry at the corner of Sewanee and Pittsburg complete with a ceiling fan, recessed lighting, and rocking chairs looking out to a large open greenspace in the center of the park. In addition, the park features a dry stream bed with a button activated water feature, benches, log seats, a picnic table, new trees, donor area, and beautiful landscaping enhancements. The park will have unobtrusive moon lighting in the trees to allow nighttime passerby's a view into the park, and thoughtful consideration was given to the neighboring properties with the incorporation of an 8ft tall cedar fence and tall hedge along the park perimeter.
This park would not have been possible without generous bequest from longtime West University Place resident Mr. James M. Hughes, who donated his property and $200,000 to be used for the design and development of a quiet park honoring his mother Jennie Elizabeth Hughes. The Friends of West U Parks Fund, Inc. (West University Parks) are funding all remaining construction expenses. "On behalf of the CIty; we are both humbled and thankful for the generous and kind hearted donation of this property by Mr. Hughes in loving memory of his mother," said Mayor Susan Sample. "We are so proud to be a part of the efforts of the staff, elected officials, citizens, and neighbors of West U combined with the further support of the Friends and Parks Boards in delivering this wonderful treasure of our community to its people. It will be a lasting testament of all those involved."
Visit JEH Park for regular project updates or contact Parks and Recreation Director Susan White for more information.
UPDATE - 5/15/18 City Council approved the items below at the meeting on Monday, May 14, 2018:
- Hughes Park site plan with a front porch shade cover and 8ft double-sided cedar fence on the north and west park perimeter.
- Friends of West U Parks Fund, Inc. project funding of $325,560 (ordinance requirement). These funds will be used for project expenses over the $200,000 Hughes donation.
- Variance to the existing zoning regulations for items located in the front yard setback.
Staff would like to extend our thanks to the Hughes family representatives, Mayor and Council, Hughes Park Task Force, Parks and Recreation Board, and Friends of West U Parks Board for all of your support and dedication throughout the initial process. We are excited that construction is planned to begin in June with completion in October (weather permitting). Once a set timeline has been confirmed, additional information will be provided. Please check back for regular updates!

Jones Sign Company provided 6 square blocks of canopy for the River Oaks mixed use development in Houston, TX. Working from the concepts provided by reknown architecture firm Gensler, Jones Sign Company contributed design, structural engineering, fabrication, & installation. Materials were diverse: glass, stainless steel, standing seam aluminum, steel, ACM, & stainless steel. Certain canopies were equipped with lighting and pedestrian fans.
To accommodate the dynamic construction schedule, Jones Sign developed a "plug and play" installation system that allowed canopy & sign installation to be concurrent with completion of building sections. Our strategy minimized site disruption & neutralized adverse scheduling impacts with the multitude of other trades working to complete this large-scale construction project.

As I have gotten older, I have lost my intensely private nature.
I used to be so terribly private. As a teenager and into my early 20s, I kept everything inside. Every crush, every fear, every accomplishment, every dream: I held them all like playing cards, right to my chest. Nobody was getting inside.
It's a wonder I had any friends, really. That's probably why my circle was so small. That's probably why I left college without having made a very, very best friend. What is the sense in a friendship where one party is intentionally closed off? Who would want to be friends with someone who won't let you see them?
While I didn't start blogging to fix my overbearing need for privacy, I do credit blogging for pushing me past it. For proving, yes, you can put all of your ugly out there and it won't scare everyone away.
That's a valuable lesson that took me way too long to learn.
Because, on Friday night, I appreciated being able to sit down to dinner with Lucy and Chet and throwing it all out on the table. First the foolish text message that came from my father that was the result of an even more foolish mistake. Then the gory details about my trip to the urgent care clinic. Followed by Lucy's detailed report from her last trip to the obstetrician. And Chet's happy confession that he ate both the one pound chocolate bar and jar of pickles that I bought him as a Father's Day present...in one sitting.
I like that my friends know that I'm not perfect.
I like knowing that they aren't, either.
The Coach falls into the same category as Lucy and Chet. If I've got a good story, I'll tell him. Anything. Everything.
Except the one thing that I should.
The one thing that I haven't discussed and dissected with Lucy and Chet.
To make what I suspect he already knows abundantly clear.
Maybe one day I will lose my ferocious need to protect my heart, too.

Weyauwega, WI
Our Weyauwega facility, currently in its third generation proudly possesses a heritage passed down from the late Jacob H. Wagner. He operated many small cheese plants while raising five sons. In 1961, the five, second generation members pooled their resources and milk supplies to form one large plant in Weyauwega. This was done in order to handle cheese, whey and Grade A milk more efficiently. The Weyauwega facility has evolved to its present modern operations through management who have been sensitive to the need for quality products and flexible in the face of changing technology. Working hand-in-hand with Kraft Foods, the Weyauwega facility pioneered the development of the "640 Square Barrel" used to hold and store natural cheese for cutting. One of our specialties in the cheese industry is the production of a fine aged cheese that is cheddared in the traditional manner. Special ingredients and equipment are vital to the production process as we aspire to produce the finest product for our customers.
Although sharp cheddar cheese is our signature cheese, in 1986 the Weyauwega facility started a feta cheese operation to compete in the specialty cheese market. One of our cheesemakers has already garnered awards for our feta cheese, sold primarily in retail stores. We have also benefited from the early involvement in the handling and marketing of whey. Currently, we work with Ross Laboratories; they use our lactose whey powder in their production of infant formulas. Reduced Lactose whey powder is sold for use in certain animal feeds.

Devious Maids Cast, Creator Tease Drama, New Loves and the Desperate Housewives Reunion in Season 4
With Devious Maids' fourth season around the corner, the cast and executive producer Marc Cherry spoke with TV Insider to dish about the twisty year ahead.
Did Adrian (Tom Irwin) survive the finale's explosion?
After Adrian was trapped in a house explosion, viewers were left wondering how he might make it out intact. "Whether he's alive or he's dead, he looms large," Rebecca Wisocky (Evelyn) says. "A lot of things are revealed in the premiere."
If he does survive, Evelyn's dynamic with Adrian could get even more complicated. "She was very ready for that relationship to be over, once and for all. But I think you heard in the tone of her voice when she called his name at the end of the season finale last year that maybe that might be a mistake. She will have a lot to wrestle with."
Evelyn will also find herself in an unusual place, as she ends up bunking with Marisol (Ana Ortiz).
"Rebecca is one of my besties, and I was like, you guys need to write more scenes for us," Ortiz laughs. "Marisol's not super uptight this year, and Evelyn plays a part in that. We end up being roommates, so you can imagine Marisol and Evelyn as roommates, and take it from there. I'm the one person she can be herself in front of. There's a lot of hilarity, but underneath it, there's a core of a real friendship."
In addition to that friendship, Marisol will find herself in a new relationship with a Hollywood exec, Peter (James Denton). "She's a real smart cookie," Ortiz says. "She's unlucky in love, but she always lands on her feet. especially when it comes to taking care of her business."
Zoila (Judy Reyes) and Genevieve (Susan Lucci) have a rift.
In the aftermath of Genevieve being forced to choose to save either Zoila or Zoila's unborn child, the women are estranged. "It separates them for a good chunk of the season, and it takes Zoila to a different place, which I think is important," Reyes notes. "And she goes on a new adventure."
"Well, she's fairly self-centered; she's carrying on," Lucci laughs. But she does showcase a softer side when she's reunited with Zoila. "I love that about her. She has a lot of heart, and she's vulnerable, and she has no street smarts whatsoever. And she has affection for Zoila."
In Zoila's absence, she has a new maid, Rosie (Dania Ramirez), and Lucci says, "It's not the happiest of situations."
Will Mr. Spence (Grant Show) get his memories back?
With Mr. Spence's amnesia still in place, he's back with his ex-wife, Peri (Mariana Klaveno)—much to the heartbreak of Rosie.
"There's a lot at stake for Rosie this season," Ramirez says. "The mystery this season has a direct impact in Rosie's life. She's trying to get Mr. Spence back, but also trying to figure out this murder in Beverly Hills. It's going to be fun to see my character, who is completely oblivious, go through and navigate this crime. I get to be Detective Rosie, as I call her."
In addition to Rosie's stint working with Genevieve, she also gets a new boss, Mrs. Shannon—played by Katherine LaNasa, Show's real-life wife. "It was a great surprise," Ramirez says. "They called me up and they're like, 'We're hiring Grant Show's wife to play your boss.' And [on the show] all I do is dream of Mr. Spence and make out with Mr. Spence!"
Carmen (Roselyn Sanchez) has an unexpected family reunion.
Carmen is shocked when a young woman shows up, claiming to be her cousin. "She comes to LA to be a superstar," Sol Rodriguez (Daniela) says. "I don't think either of us is ready for what's coming."
The relationship is a complicated one for Carmen; a storyline executive producer Marc Cherry set out to give Sanchez. "When you have a character like Carmen who is so sexy and fun, you start off doing the sexy and fun storylines," he says. "But then at some point you go, what can we go back to her past and deepen the character and allow the actress to show more stuff. We felt like we reached that point with Roselynn, with let's show them a different side of who you are. And Roselyn is a terrific actress, and everyone sees her as the sexy bombshell, but she's so much more than that."
Zoila's new man has mama drama.
Chuck's Ryan McPartlin joins the Devious Maids world in Season 4 as Kyle, a man who catches Zoila's eye. But, naturally, things aren't smooth for the duo. "There's lots of little lies that go on between them," McPartlin says. "It's so fun, because it's so light-hearted in the beginning, and it becomes heavier over time. The white lies become bigger, and they unravel throughout the whole season."
One of the obstacles for the couple? Kevin's "quite attached to his mother," Reyes teases. "It becomes challenging to take. It becomes a strange love triangle."
And the mother-son bond will be deep…and weird. "It's interesting: when you start talking about what you're allowed to do on TV now, you're allowed to go places now that we weren't even allowed to go to when I started Desperate [Housewives]," Cherry says. "Because of some of the crazy stuff on cable, they want more and more from you. We came up with this relationship that is a little bit of homage to Laurence Harvey and Angela Lansbury in The Manchurian Candidate. We thought let's put in some dark colors here and let's see how it plays. We had some fun, it's a little dangerous for the writers. But we like to try new things."
There's a Desperate Housewives reunion—and a killer joke.
With Denton joining the Devious Maids family in Season 4 and executive producer Eva Longoria appearing (as herself) in the premiere, Cherry was able to pay homage to his previous show in a new way. "One of my writers came up with the idea of starting the show with a murder where you think it's the show, but it's a TV show within a TV show kind of thing," he says. "And the idea was Curtis Kheel's; he pitched it, and we started thinking, we can get Eva Longoria to do this. I've been waiting to have Eva do something on this show. And I knew she was swamped, but I knew we could shoot this out in one or two days."
While they were breaking the episode, Cherry pitched a joke about the cast of the ABC dramedy, "and the writers all fell down laughing," he recalls. "And then my thought was, 'I wonder if Eva will say this?' And then she was a good sport about it."
"The truth of the matter is all of the Desperate Housewives, they'll get a big kick out of it," he continues. "We got such press on that show; people were writing that there were problems four seconds into the show when there weren't even problems. I thought enough time has gone by; I can have fun with the myth of the Desperate Housewives experience."
Devious Maids, Season premiere, Monday, June 6, 9/8c, Lifetime.

Welsh artist Mick Petts has designed a natural sculpture that resembles a horse when viewed from above. The artist was raised in the Welsh countryside and was familiar with the high peaks of the Welsh landscape. Petts decided to honor the natural environment by creating a sculpture that was completely integrated with the land.
The natural sculpture is located in the Parc Penalta in Caerphilly, Wales. The sculpture itself spans 200 meters wide and it was built with over 60,000 tons of coal and shale. When viewed from afar, the sculpture resembles a large horse. The name of the piece is 'Sultan the Pit Pony,' which gives a nod to the types of horses that used to carry coal to the mines from the 18th to the 20th century.
This Natural Sculpture is Integrated into the Welsh Landscape

Justin Morrow's goal came just in time.
The Toronto FC full back scored in the 81st minute to lift the Reds to a well-deserved 2-1 victory over their rivals from Quebec, the Montreal Impact.
It was a match that TFC (10-10-7) dominated, only to fall behind 1-0 early in the second half. But thanks to some relentless pressure, Toronto fought back for the win and the all-important three points. The loss dropped Montreal to 10-14-4 and allowed TFC to move into seventh in the MLS Eastern Conference standings with 37 points, the last playoff position, three points ahead of the Impact and Orlando City.
"Massive three points," said Morrow. "Just mentally, the toughness to come back out on top after going down, I can't speak highly enough about that. It's a big boost for everybody."
Toronto fired 19 total shots compared to four by Montreal (5-1 on target) and held the edge in possession, 52% to 48%.
Despite the Reds getting the better chances for the entire game at BMO Field, Montreal opened the scoring in the 49th minute on a defensive break down when Bojan Krkic picked up the ball about 10 metres in front of the box and was allowed to waltz to the middle of the field and blast a right-footer that beat Toronto goal keeper Quentin Westberg just inside the post — totally deflating most of the 28,989 fans on hand.
But TFC turned up the intensity after the Krkic goal and the effort paid off in the 63rd when midfielder Marky Delgado hammered in a rebound after a Alejandro Pozuelo cross that was punched out by Montreal keeper Evan Bush. It was Delgado's first of the season.
A couple of minutes after the tying goal, Toronto forward Jozy Altidore floated a header just over the goal. The Reds kept the pressure on throughout the second half as the Impact held on for dear life.
Morrow scored the winner when he right-footed home a shot that Bush got a piece of, but couldn't control. It was Morrow's first of the season. The shot came after a nice flick forward by Altidore on a pass by Michael Bradley, who was huge patrolling centre midfield all game, recording seven official chances created. The Impact seemed to have nothing left after the Morrow strike.
"I thought we stay organized the whole night, which was one of our objectives," said TFC coach Greg Vanney. "If we're going to get into the playoffs and make any hay in the playoffs, we've got to be connected as a group and we got to go.
"I also think as the game progressed, the ball started moving faster — which is what I've been asking for from this group," he added. "That's going to be the big difference. If the ball can move faster from guy to guy and we can be more mobile and play forward and hurt teams, then we're going to create a lot of problems for teams."
The Impact fired head coach Remi Garde after a 3-3 draw against FC Dallas last weekend, a game that saw Montreal jump into a 3-0 lead. Saturday's match was Wilmer Cabrera's debut as head coach. Not what he was hoping for.
The matched marked the first time the club's new TAM players Erickson Gallardo and Nicolas Benezet started together. The pair almost connected in the seventh minute before Benezet was brought to the ground in the penalty area. Gallardo's pace was clearly evident throughout the game as the Venezuelan created a number of chances from the right wing in the first half.
Vanney didn't include Pozuelo in the starting XI but brought the Spanish midfield whiz in to start the second half in place of Gallardo, a move that paid off. Montreal was without its best player, winger Ignacio Piatti, who is out with an adductor injury.
"We had a phenomenal week of training. They absolutely killed it this week as a group and I think we saw the fruits of that in this game and saw some of that confidence, that connectedness, that clarity. It all kind of came through," said Vanney. "I feel like hopefully this is a tipping point for us.
"We have a lot of moving pieces right now," said Morrow of his club, a team that heads into the final seven games of the MLS season with a full and healthy squad — something Vanney didn't have early part of the schedule.
"We have guys that we're trying to fit on the field and we're still figuring ourselves out but that's OK because we had a good performance (Saturday) and we'll move on from here.
"That was a real team effort and on top of being tired we all have a big headache," added Westberg of his team's effort. "At some point it's tactical, it's physical but ultimately it's the heart you put in and how badly you want it and how much more we want it than the opponent. And tonight being a Derby makes it even more special. It's actually more than three points tonight."

Cubicle Spy: Inside Etsy's Brooklyn Office [PICS]
As part of the ongoing Cubicle Spy series here at Mashable, we're taking a look inside the coolest, quirkiest and most gadget-laden offices of people who work with social media.
In the vast world of glossy gadgets and mass-produced tech, the social commerce website Etsy has a fairly unique motto: "Live Handmade." And as one might expect from such a company, its workplace is nothing short of kaleidoscopic.
Etsy has been based in its office in DUMBO, Brooklyn for just over a year. When they moved, the staff — all of whom are craftspeople and artists in their own right — took the redesign into their own hands.
In March 2010, Kitty Greenwald — who writes for Etsy's blog, The Storque — was brought on board to make the workday even more palatable.
Greenwald started cooking lunch for the staff out of her apartment. Shortly thereafter, Etsy had a kitchen and stove built for her, and they hired some more staff to help, though not before clearing up some other issues, as the building wasn't initially zoned for cooking.
For now, Etsy has staff lunches twice a week. As a result of its resounding success, they're soon planning to make "Eatsy" a thrice-weekly event.

Montebello Islands
Coordinates: 20°28′S 115°32′E / 20.46°S 115.54°E
The Montebello Islands, also known as the Monte Bello Islands, are an archipelago of around 174 small islands (about 92 of which are named) lying 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of Barrow Island and 130 kilometres (81 mi) off the Pilbara coast of north-western Australia. Montebello is Italian for "beautiful mountain". The islands form a conservation park administered by the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation, and it is likely that the shallow waters around them will become a marine conservation reserve. The islands were the site of three nuclear weapons tests by the British military in the 1950s.
The islands of the archipelago have a collective land area of about 22 km2. The largest islands, Hermite (or Hermit) and Trimouille have areas of 1022 ha and 522 ha respectively. They consist of limestone rock and sand. The rocky parts are dominated by Triodia hummock grassland with scattered shrubs, while the sandy areas support grasses, sedges and shrubs, mainly Acacia. Patches of mangroves grow in sheltered bays and channels of the archipelago, especially at Hermite Island. The climate is hot and arid with an annual average rainfall of about 320 mm.[1]
The islands have been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because they support over 1% of the world populations of fairy and roseate terns, and of sooty oystercatchers.[2] Greater crested terns breed there irregularly, sometimes in large numbers. Other birds breeding on the islands include ospreys, white-bellied sea eagles, pied oystercatchers, Caspian terns and bridled terns. The islands support 12–15 breeding pairs of beach stone-curlews. Yellow white-eyes have been recorded.[1]
Invasive feral cats and black rats have been eradicated from the islands, allowing endangered rufous hare-wallabies (Mala) and Shark Bay mice to be translocated to the islands under the conservation management strategy for these threatened species.[1] They are now common on many of the larger islands.
It is believed that the islands were occupied by indigenous Australians until about 5,000 BC, when a period of global warming and rising sea levels caused the Montebellos to become more distant from the mainland, and forced abandonment.[3]
The first Europeans known to have seen the islands were the crews of a French Navy exploration expedition, led by Nicolas Baudin, in 1801. Baudin named Hermite Island after Admiral Jean-Marthe-Adrien L'Hermite and Trimouille Island after a French aristocratic family. There are inconsistencies in the naming of the islands in the accounts of the early explorers, and it has been suggested[by whom?] that later explorers mixed up the names of Lowendal and Hermite Islands.[citation needed]
An early reference to the islands is in 1622, when the English ship Tryall was wrecked just west of them. For years afterwards their approximate position was recorded on charts as the Tryal Rocks.[citation needed]
The islands were economically significant for pearl fishing from the end of the 19th century until the outbreak of the Second World War.[citation needed]
British nuclear weapons tests
The Montebello islands were the site of three nuclear weapons tests by the British military: one in 1952, and two in 1956.[4][5]
A bay on Trimouille Island was the site of Operation Hurricane, the first-ever atomic weapon tested by the United Kingdom, on 3 October 1952.[6][7]
While most subsequent British tests were conducted at sites on mainland Australia, in 1956 there were two further tests, on Alpha and Trimouille Islands respectively. The second of these, codenamed "G2", included the largest nuclear explosion in Australia, with a yield of 98 kilotons.[8][9]
Fallout from the Montebello tests is reported to have contaminated areas of mainland Australia as far away as the Queensland towns of Mount Isa, Julia Creek, Longreach and Rockhampton.[10]
Of the smaller islands, the largest are:
- North-West Island
- Primrose Island
- Bluebell Island
- Alpha Island
- Crocus Island
- Campbell Island
- Delta Island
- Renewal Island
- Ah Chong Island
There are also 10 named groups of small islets, whose individual islands have not yet been named:
- Corkwood Islands
- Fig Islands
- Hakea Islands
- Jarrah Islands
- Jasmine Islands
- Karri Islands
- Marri Islands
- Minnieritchie Islands
- Mulga Islands
- Quandong Islands

Comic books are nothing new, they've been a part of our cultural landscape for almost a century, but it seems that in the last decade they've found renewed vigor within larger pop culture. The movies and television shows of tomorrow were often conceptualized decades ago in the pages of a comic book with a price tag that wouldn't buy you a cup of coffee today.
That puts those behind the wheel of our most beloved comic books in unique positions of power to shape the landscape of our culture. Few books have as long and as storied a history as Archie. The adventures and misadventures of Archie, Jughead, Bettie, and Veronica are a staple of the medium and a first foot in the door to many readers. The universe has even recently been reimagined for the CW series Riverdale.
We had a conversation with Nancy Silberkleit, one of the CEOs of Archie Comics about how the brand is working to shape the way readers, specifically students, interact with comic books and how the medium can impact the world outside of brick and mortar shops.
Though other executives at Archie are responsible for the content you most often see on your comic shelf, Silberkleit has found a way to put her twenty-five years of experience in education to work. Utilizing the idealized world, as presented in Archie canon, Silberkleit travels the country, stopping at schools and conventions, to spread the lessons she's learned between Archie's pages to kids.
Silberkleit's introduction to Archie was unconventional, especially considering the position she now holds within the company. In fact, before Silberkleit accepted a position as co-CEO of Archie, she'd never cracked the spine of an issue. This was due, Silberkleit remarked, not to a disinterest in Archie specifically, but to a disinterest in reading entirely that was spurred by an experience in early childhood.
"I remember going to second grade. I remember what I was wearing, I was looking smart, and my mother turns to me as we're at the playground and announces you're not going into second grade, you're going into first grade. You have been left back because you can't read. I feel that was the moment the love of reading was stolen from me. The way it was presented was an absolute shock."
It was only after her late husband passed away that Silberkleit picked up an issue and found a joy for reading that had been lacking all her life, within the pages of Archie books. Silberkleit went on to remark on her suspicion that her early childhood disinterest in reading, prior to the second grade event, was due at least in part to the types of content with which she was provided.
"What they gave me was not comic books, it was See Jane Run," she groans. "It just made me nauseous. I looked at reading as shameful, so I never found a love for reading." This highlights a shift in the thinking we have toward children and the types of content that may or may not work for a particular child. "In a way it was good they never gave me comic books because now I go around the world trying to spark a love of reading through comics."
Things have changed since then. Many schools now devote a portion of their in-house libraries to the promotion of graphic literacy. Silberkleit's mission is to ensure that relationship continues and grows and she's doing that in a few different ways both inside and out of the pages of comic books.
On the Page
Silberkleit has cultivated, both from classic Archie content, and from specifically commissioned material, a selection of books that tell the types of stories she believes kids need to see through her foundation Rise Above Social Issues. Among them are lessons on bullying, environmentalism, and gun safety.
See Something, Say Something is an eight page mini-comic that follows a new student at school struggling to fit in and the violent plan he hatches to get even. The book addresses the sadly ever present issue of gun violence and the importance of kindness. It also includes a five-page teacher's guide for presenting the content to students.
Bottle Battle and Getting Drastic with Plastic tackle the problems of waste and pollution. Bottle Battle, which can be read for free online, sees Archie and the gang in a submarine gathering information for a science project when they discover a mountain of trash at the bottom.
The gang decides to change their science project from one about the ocean to one focusing on the problem of pollution caused by plastic bottles. What follows is a PSA, within the context of an Archie story, about alternatives to disposable plastics like glass cups, stainless steel mugs, and bamboo utensils.
Trendsetter, a story from Archie proper, sees Archie wearing a new hat to the dismay of those around him. Archie receives round criticism from his peers, only to go to his friends for comfort and have his hat thrown in the trash by one of his closest confidants. Silberkleit remarked on how this story impacted her. "We're taught that if you have nothing nice to say not to say anything at all but we don't always realize that our actions can hurt just as much."
These stories, and others like them, offer young readers an opportunity to be introduced to situations they'll likely encounter (with the exception of gun violence, fingers crossed) and explore healthy ways to handle them.
Off the Page
Silberkleit is also committed to engaging with students in the real world and providing opportunities for growth and empowerment through graphic literacy. She recently finalized a trademark for the name Comic Extravaganza and held an event in her home town of East Hampton.
Silberkleit licenses the name, at no cost, to students so that they can put on their own comic book conventions at their schools or local libraries showcasing the books and stories they love or promoting content they've created themselves.
Additionally, as part of Rise Above Social Issues, Silberkleit has launched Comic Book Fairs, a non-profit organization with the slogan "Comic Books + Children = Reading, Knowledge, and Confidence," in an effort to promote literacy through comic books. It works in a similar fashion to the Scholastic book fairs you are no doubt familiar with from childhood or from the catalogs your own children bring home from school.
Comic Book Fairs offers graphic literature to schools to sell to students in book fair type events. The schools retain thirty percent of any money raised and students have the opportunity to be introduced to reading through an alternative format.
Silberkleit says she's always wearing her teacher shoes and her aim with students is to understand the way they think and engage them on a level that works for them. Her own negative experience with reading as a child seems never too far from her mind, wanting to ensure that children are given every opportunity to succeed, even and especially if that means engaging them not in the ways traditional educators might want but it the ways that they need.

Chandler & Jessica,
First, please forgive me for the forum I used. I just didn't know what would be the best way to pass along my blessing. Please believe me when I say this is not meant to cause any extra stress.
I wanted both of you to know that I have been praying for this special day for many, many, many months.
What an amazing privilege God has placed into your care. I pray your love for Jessica will grow with each passing day. I hope that in the unsure moments, low energy days and times of life frustrations, that you will take a deep breath, find the calm and soldier on. I pray for you to desire to stay committed and face each challenge boldly. My hope for you is that you will experience many new joys as you build this new family. I pray for your love, wisdom and patience to grow as you seek to meet the needs of these special children God has seen fit to give you. I will continue to be a committed prayer warrior for your new and dear family.
It is important for me to express to you my unending love and care for you. I am thankful God has given you a new opportunity to be loved and cherished. I do pray for you to have peace, comfort and other blessings as you and Chandler journey together. I pray for energy, strength and unwavering commitment as your new family is joined together. I pray for wisdom to be your guide. I hope you will have many moments of lasting joy. I pray you and Chandler will endearingly, patiently and selflessly work through the challenges that will come your way. I want you to know, I committed to pray for your dear family.
Lainey, Kaiden and Ella:
Today is a very special day for the 3 of you. Each of you is very special to me. In time I will be better at communicating that to you. I pray for each of you to show love and care and respect for all in your new family. Seek out ways to be helpful. Be happy for this new opportunity of having committed parents. Trust the parents God is giving you. Help them to know you are glad to have them as your parents. And, know this, I will continue to pray for each of you, often.
I will close with this:
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Romans 3:23-26
I love you and I will continue to pray for you.

Album: Tekapo course is all go
Images from commissioning flow on Tekapo Whitewater Course, March 2001.(6 images)
The Tekapo White Water Trust has finally had a successful commissioning flow down the new artificial whitewater course. Flows ranged from 10 to 25 cumecs to test course stability and specific feature areas.
Immediately below the intake gates is a great rodeo/play wave which rates as one of the best features of any artificial course known, with room for three on the breaking wave and 50 in each eddy. The entry slope and deep pool makes it ideal for surfing and flat spins for both intermediate and advanced paddlers.
The 500 metre long course is rated at class II to II+ with 10 to 15 cumecs and class III at 20 to 25 cumecs. Large rocks create the main features of powerful holes and large standing waves within a single channel lined with rock which is held in place with concrete where required. With more than 5 metres of head, the speed of the water in the last half of the course provides powerful hydraulics to enable great surfing, high crosses and spins. Minor modifications will be made to the course to improve paddler safety and improve the size and quantity of eddies prior to the next schedule of release flows.
Work started on the project more than 10 years ago but the actual course construction work started in April 1998. The main reason for such a long wait was a lack of funds to match the course design required, and with major design and redesign work done, the final budget for the course is approximately $500,000.
Keep Labour weekend 2001 free for the official opening of the course with rodeo, slalom and fun run events planned.

One of my goals for this experience was to push myself, in many ways. I wanted to push myself to make friends, interact with foreigners, and do things that I was scared to do. In Rome, I felt like my trip had come together and that because I tried new things, I found my familia. In Florence, I realized that I still had some work to do if I wanted to truly be able to call everyone on this trip familia; therefore, continuing this experience throughout my years at TCU and beyond. I had not shared all that I needed to with certain people and I knew I needed to tell people how I felt about them, not just that I love them, but why I love them. And that is hard for me. Sometimes it is easier for me just to go along with a gut feeling rather than think about why I feel that way. What I learned throughout the trip, especially in Rome, is how to love on people again. How to make people feel special and valued, because they are special and valuable.
It is a little scary to be so upfront with people because I don't always know what to say or I am afraid that my feelings of friendship will not be reciprocated. However, in Rome I knew I had to overcome these fears to cement the friendships that I have found during the past 3.5 weeks. For me, this meant talking to my peers about fears that this group would separate after the trip and explaining why I had those fears. Being able to talk to people about my concerns is tough but I found it to be a lot easier when you really care about that person or people.
In addition, I knew I had to give out four awards to people on the last night in Rome. This was one of the hardest things about the trip because I could give an award to every single amazing person on this trip. I gave my awards to Kate, Chandler, Jacey, and Cole, all people that made my experience so meaningful. However, every single person on this trip has impacted my experience in the most positive ways. Riley exudes light, Will is the best cheerleader and true friend, Christian is the most grounded person, Josh wins chivalry and respect for everyone, Madeline is so introspective, Sarah is the strongest person I know, Andrea is patient and so kind, Davis is super intelligent and open-minded to all perspectives, Matt has such a sweet and genuine personality, Lance is so humble and funny, and Cassie is understanding as heck and the perfect roommate. It used to be hard for me to explain my feelings, but this group made it easy. No one is judgmental and everyone just wants to spread love. I did not want to let the group down by not spreading as much love as I could so I was nervous about giving awards because I wanted everyone to know how much they were appreciated. I still do not know if I did a good job, but I know how much everyone means to me, which is a step in the right direction.
For me, pushing myself meant developing relationships that were meaningful and letting those people know how much I value them. This culminated in Rome when it was time to say good-bye and live our last days in Europe together spreading love. I had to leave my comfort zone and spread true words of affirmation. This group of 18 made it easy and I appreciate them so much for every moment and memory on CR9. I am so excited to spend the next three years with CR9 and continue to develop our relationships.
P.S. Everyone start saving up for Europe Part II!!!

A recent malware known as Tyupkin and Padpin has been discovered by Europol, which is being used by attackers to conduct a new type of attack which is commonly being known as "jackpotting attacks". This malware was first analyzed in 2014 by the Kaspersky labs since its presence was noted in more than 50 machines in eastern europe. It is known for its capability to enable its operators to withdraw money from ATMs without cards.
Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) stated that the arrested individual are under suspicion of establishing an organised criminal group, illegally accessing computer systems, causing computer fraud, disrupting information systems, alternating data integrity, operating devices and software illegally and destructing property.
A damage of approximately $217,000 is claimed to have caused by the suspects, residents of Romania and the Republic of Moldova. A group, led by the Moldovan national Solozabal Cuartero Rodion and Romanian national Mihaila Sorin, have been targeting various ATMs in Europian countries, primarily Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Spain and Russia, as reported by the Romanian prosecutors.
|(pc-google images)
The group set a characteristic method of dispensing cash in small transactions of $1000 rather than sweeping the machines in one go. Once the machine dispenses all the cash, the malware would automatically be removed from the machine. Since these attacks cause serious harm to the ATMs, European ATM Security Team (EAST) and Europol had published certain guidelines last year to help the members of law enforcement and the industry to counter the threat and in September, the security firms started reporting two new malware families. One of these, known as GreenDispense, is found similar to Tyupkin as it uses the machine's PIN pad to empty the vault. The other, called Suceful, acts as a captor for cards inserted by cardholders into ATMs.

NFL Computer Picks: Week 16 Bets
The Carolina Panthers will beat the New Orleans Saints and win the NFC South Division, but it will be close according to the OddsShark NFL Computer predictions.
The Computer sees the Panthers squeaking out a two-point victory over the visiting Saints, who have been atrocious all season away from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The Saints are 1-6 ATS on the road.
Two weeks ago, New Orleans hammered the Panthers 31-13 on a Monday night in the Superdome. This time, Carolina is the favorite; the Panthers were field-goal favorites at the sportsbooks heading into the end of the week. The Computer's projections suggest that line is pretty tight, but if you are grabbing a side, take the points.
The OddsShark NFL Computer also likes the Dallas Cowboys to keep their NFC East division hopes alive with a win at Washington. The Redskins have covered the spread in six of their past seven games against the Cowboys, but will be starting backup quarterback Kirk Cousins in place of Robert Griffin III.
Dallas won the first meeting between these two teams this season, but a closer look at the box score shows that the Redskins were the better team statistically. Washington out-gained the Cowboys in total yards, rushing for more than 200 yards against the porous Dallas defense.
Weather forecasts are calling for rain and wind at FedExField. However, weather hasn't seemed to be able to slow down this season's NFL offenses.
Over in the AFC, the OddsShark NFL Computer is backing the underdog New England Patriots against the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of last season's conference championship game. Heading into Friday, the Ravens were 2.5-point home favorites on the NFL odds over Tom Brady and the Patriots at most shops. The Computer believes the Patriots will get revenge and win straight-up.
Week 16 OddsShark Computer Picks
Denver (36.1) at Houston (17.3)
Pittsburgh (21.9) at Green Bay (22)
Dallas (25.6) at Washington (16.5)
