Isn't Miami already doing a reclamation project on Greg Oden? Not sure that Bynum is a fit there or if he even really wants to play.

Coaching casualties so far Washington - Shanahan and his entire staff Minnesota - Frazier Cleveland - Chudzinski and Kubiak (Texans) Who's next? Schwartz? Allen? Philbin? Schiano? Munchak? Rex Ryan is apparently safe.

That's a nice pair she's packin' ..........

NBC has a similiar take as CNN on it. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/12/09/21837444-campus-officer-shoots-kills-texas-college-student-after-chase?lite That's the campus police statement. There are no witnesses to that. Wrong. http://blog.mysanantonio.com/police/2013/12/what-we-know-so-far-about-the-fatal-shooting-of-uiw-student-cameron-redus-by-campus-police/#18821101=0 http://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/Witness-UIW-student-fought-officer-before-fatal-5077162.php?t=f745e31feedffd779b#/0 Let the investigation play out before you start judging and laying blame.

There are no witnesses to that. Funny how the camera fell off for that one. So? Does that mean that the police version isn't true? The rush to judgment here is ridiculous. Maybe the cop was off the rails, and if so, then yes he should be tried for the shooting, but I'm not ready to convict him based on the little information that is available.

ESPN says that Romo is out for the game against Philly (and possibly the season) - aggravated a prior back injury in the game against Washington.

Different story from CNN ...... NBC has a similiar take as CNN on it. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/12/09/21837444-campus-officer-shoots-kills-texas-college-student-after-chase?lite

"planned obsolescence"

I know but it's too much fun to throw darts at him.

Damn Pucking Fanthers ..... #(#%^(#^Q#^ and be still my beating heart but Romo plays hero? Now that's a freaking sign of the apocalypse if ever there was one.

Absolutely true. India for example was hugely profitable for the British. http://www.centrosraffa.org/public/affd9dd2-9aa6-4572-848a-3ae1644492c7.pdf

Indeed. Th ebiggest benefit the Americas gave the UK was in the Royal Navy. Hearts and oak! <sic> Starting in 1730, Britain maintained a trade surplus from dealing with the American colonies. Approximately 50% of the British navy was involved in the trade and 25% of British goods were sold in the Americas, making America one of England's largest trade partners. By 1750, England had a £500,000 trade surplus with the colonies which increased to £1,850,000 by 1760. The Seven Years War changed the economics primarily not because of increased administration costs but because Britain ran up a massive war debt in defeating the French. The British Government had borrowed heavily from British and Dutch bankers to finance the war, and as a consequence the national debt almost doubled from £75 million in 1754 to £133 million in 1763 (equal to £15,000,000,000 today - yes 15 billion). To finance that debt, British officials turned to larger import duties on enumerated goods like sugar and tobacco, along with a series of high excise (sales) taxes on goods such as salt, beer, and spirits. By the mid-1760s, the custom service collected more than £30,000 a year in duties - not very large considering that total trade between the two partners was ~ £3,000,000. Even by 1770 the British still maintained a trade surplus in excess of £910,000, but by 1774 boycotts of English good had turned the English trade surplus into a £1,370,000 deficit. In particular, the English claimed that duties on sugar and molasses were necessary to maintain dominance of English sugar plantations in the Indies over their French rivals. The tax measures were part of a larger effort to block colonial trade with the French Sugar Islands, since many colonists were undeterred by the war and continued their lucrative trade with French possessions. Effective rates of taxation in England were many times higher than tax rates in the colonies, the English believed it was appropriate to raise revenues via a series of new taxes on the colonies and reformed colonial administrative practices to better enforce new and existing taxes. The colonists disagreed. It wasn't paying taxes or the amount they had to pay, which was relatively low, that seems to have angered the colonists most; instead, it was having no say in how much and in what way they would be taxed. Having a say was a right they felt entitled to as Englishmen. In order to cover about £60,000 of the £200,000 required to station troops in the colonies, George Grenville persuaded Parliament to pass a Stamp Act similar to one enacted and successfully administered in England in 1694. Passed by Parliament on March 22, 1765 with an effective date of November 1, 1765 it was subsequently repealed on March 18, 1766. Colonial policies as manifested by English Mercantilism were the real issue.

Same list as Karkarov's but in a different order: 5 mil = More Wilderness areas/bigger world 5.5 mil = New major Faction with unique questline. 6 mil = One Companion of Every Class 6.5 mil = Stronghold gets full on town 7 mil = At least two Companions of Every Class with "personality" depth, Example one fighter is a goody two shoes but the other is a professional mercenary who only cares about money.

from the Skins' - Falcons game - Steven Jackson does his best steamroller imitation on Washington cornerback Josh Wilson 7 turnovers by Washington and it still takes a missed 2 point conversion for the Falcons to escape with the victory ..... LOL As for the Saints, Robert Quinn totally owned Charles Brown (Saints T) - not sure why, but the Saints have had trouble matching up with the Rams

A wind turbine can only capture 59.3 per cent of the kinetic energy of the wind. Betz' law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betz'_law The advantage of wind energy is that it doesn't require any fuel and it's cost is constant over the life of the project. Here's one comparison http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/comm/docs/Geronimo-Engelking1-29-13.pdf check out page 7 Also according to the EIA, the total cost of wind energy without federal tax and other financial incentives is about 9.7 cents/kilowatt-hour. The total cost of conventional coal without federal tax and other financial incentives is about 9.4 cents/kilowatt-hour. http://meic.org/issues/montana-clean-energy/cost-of-wind-vs-fossil-fuels/#sthash.dyD4uDoC.dpuf

Fair enough. Fixed it.

Fwiw, I did a quick count on the areas shown in the trailer at around :23 seconds and counted 36 named locations plus 5 more for Defiance Bay. (Locations followed by a ? show up on an earlier map but can not be confirmed in the video) My apologies for any errors in spelling or geography Free Palinate of Dyrwood - 5 + 10? - Hellsgate Citadel - Gilded Vale - Road's End - Loghome (name is partially obscured in video) - Eina's Rest - BaelReach ? - Mercy Vale ? - Raedric's Hold ? - Sorceror's Tomb ? - Geiran's Grasp ? - New Heomar ? - Echo Bay ? - New Yarma ? - Godhammer Citadel ? - Castle ? Defiance Bay x 5 The Pearl Coast - 3 (Part of The Vaillan Republics?) - Forked Vale - Telaneir - Brass Crown Tower The Vaillan Republics - 13 + 1? - Madsman - Steel Crown Tower - Cirrarae - Ancenze - Selona - Baria - Biageppe - Ozir - Ozian Bastions - Hills Edge - Dulan's Keep? - Parchozzi - Gualfi - Goodhope White March - 6 + 2? - Cold Morn? - Dawning - Stalwart - Durgan's Battery - Maiden Falls - Fort Bone Picker - Thein - Thein Bog? Ruins of Eir Glanfath - 8 + 1? - Airana's Tears - Lake of Drowned Tombs ? - Abbey of the Cloven Wheel - Midwood - Ihrel's Well - The Court of Bowing Ashes - Solace Vale - Kindle Vale - Dyrford Twin Elms x 5 (That's a guess that it will be as big as Defiance Bay) My area count then is: 35 areas from Video (likely a combination of village and wilderness areas) 5 for Defiance Bay 5 for Twin Elms 15 for the mega dungeon 14 from an earlier map not visible in the video 1 stronghold (may also be one of the known locations or one of the unconfirmed locations) Assuming that each of those areas is actually a visitable location, that makes 60 probable plus possibly 14 or 15 more.

It looks like the Raptors are not finished dumping - Kyle Lowry is probably next. He's on an expiring contract and is a UFA next year.

Parkland - based on the book Four Days in November: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy by Vincent Bugliosi. It's an interesting perspective on events thru the eyes of the staff at Parkland Hospital, Abraham Zapruder and Secret Service Agent Forrest Sorrels and FBI agent James Hosty. Worth a rental.

Fast and Furious 6 - simply fantastic. 'nuff said. Jupiter Ascending looks interesting. The important question is does Sean Bean die to add to his tally?

Perhaps they feel that it's their responsibility to get as much info as possible and hear from both parties. Does it always make a difference? Probably not. "inappropriate dinner jacket" ... okay that is funny .....
