its place in the 'Asian Century'. The country—the largest democracy in the world—is generally considered an emerging power due to its large and stable population, policy of free-market economics, rapid advancements in science and technology, rule of law and culture of peace.
With all these factors seeming to be in favour, what is holding the nation back from fulfilling the promises it has held out to its people? India still has to overcome major challenges such as regional and societal income disparities, moving up the value chain towards greater innovation, and bringing about an overhaul in its manner of governance for the nation to prosper and actually step into the future. Also, the vision of India as dreamed by the forefathers at the time of Independence seems to have been lost sight of along the way.

The authors then delineate important actionable points and the steps that Indian government(s) ought to take in order to use our assets to overcome our problems so that the nation can reach the goals, towards which all development should take us.

Most of the claims in the Bralorne-Pioneer mine camp were staked in 1897. The Pioneer mine began in 1900 as a one-man operation, when F. W. Kinder single-handedly mined and processed the ore at a rate of 400-500 pounds per day. He continued his operation, making a comfortable living, for eleven years before selling the property. The mine became a major producer of gold when Dave Sloan, a mining engineer, came on board as managing director in 1924. Within four years the recovery of gold had reached more than $100,000 of bullion per year (Cairnes 1937).
Gold and sulfide mineralization (pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, and tetrahedrite) occurs in epigenetic mesothermal quartz-carbonate veins hosted in serpentinite and diorite.
Most surviving specimen material consists of "sponge" gold frozen in quartz matrix, some in sulfide matrix. Good representative specimens of this type reside in the collections of the Royal Ontario Museum, the Provincial Museum of Alberta, and the University of British Columbia. The Braelorne mine closed in 1971. A number of large specimens were rediscovered in an office filing cabinet after a company take-over in the late 1980s. In 1990 Braelorne Resources sold these specimens of sponge gold in quartz to Rod Tyson and Frank Melanson. They etched them and produced 15 specimens ranging from 4x3 cm to 12 x 20 cm (Robinson and King 1990).
Well-crystallized gold is reported to have been encountered in carbonate quartz veins during operations in the 1930s and 1940s (Rod Tyson, pers. comm., 2005). One significant surviving specimen of this era is in the collection of the Canadian Museum of Nature. Another was sold at a Sotheby's auction in Toronto in 1988. The following is from the Sotheby's auction catalog 84 (1988):
"A Spectacular Gold Specimen, of self-supporting dendritic and platy gold veinlets with arsenopyrite crystals etched from a calcite vein in a calcite and grey rock matrix, the specimen mounted in plaster and housed within a wood and glass display case, length 5 in. (12.7 cm.), height 2 3A in. (7.0 cm.), width 4 in. (10.2 cm.).
This gold specimen originates from the Pioneer Gold Mines property near Lillooet, located approximately 100 miles north of Vancouver. It was acquired in the 1930's by Colonel J.V.N. Spencer, the proprietor of the mine.
Provenance: Private Collection, British Columbia."
A specimen exhibiting reasonably developed gold micro-crystals in vugs in massive quartz is also known from the Coronation mine, which was eventually incorporated into the operations of the Bralorne mine. The gold crystals are rounded and complex, appearing to exhibit a highly modified tetrahexahedral form.

This thread is for FFL dealers here at Illinois Carry to post their contact info.
The reason I started this thread is that I have had prospective students ask me if I am an FFL dealer ( I am not) and I would like to be able to refer them to FFL dealers within our illinoiscarry.com community if possible, because I have literally marched next to some of you in Springfield and sat next to some of you in city hall "AWB" meetings.
This community also serves as a sort of "Angie's List" of FFL dealers. All of the recommendations have been for really outstanding people.
So in the future, when someone asks about an FFL, I'd like to be able to just give them the link to this thread.

As an interesting twist, as we are compiling this listing, please indicate how you handle the 72 wait period on out of state purchases.
I am an FFL. Transfers and new guns. Law says wait starts when you buy a gun. So, if you bought it in TX and it took them 3 days to ship I have no interest holding on to it. 4473 and take it home.
The One and Only RSMFIREARMS.com 815-566-4686. We Buy, Sell, Trade and Consign all legal firearms. Transfers are $15. Best prices around hands down. We offer free appraisals on firearms and 10% on all consignments. We also offer Illinois CCW classes.
Transfers are $25 for the first gun and $5 for each additional gun transferred at the same time.
I stock primarily Glock, Smith & Wesson and Springfield Armory products. I specialize in modern carry/duty weapons. I can also special order just about anything you want.
I run a small operation and I try to keep my prices as low as possible while still making it worth my time and not going out of business.
My business location in unincorporated LaSalle County has a low sales tax rate, 6.5%.

Any FFL people near o'hare on here?.
Lets see if this works. Google map of IC ffls I only added people had their addresses posted in this thread.
If you want your name on here let me know. Maybe the op can put the link in his opening post.
I could do this for an instructor list also.
I pmed you cougar. I need a physical address.
Getting older is like a walk in the park where nobody has bothered to pick up after the dogs.
I was in desperate need of a new FFL. Alex at Misha Tactical Arms was professional and down to earth to deal with and well worth the drive (from my home in Oak Park to Vernon Hills, IL. I bought a stripped lower off his website and could not be happier. Prices are quite reasonable to boot. Thanks Alex!
And yes.... "Holy Old Thread from the Dead Batman"!
Thank you and you welcome Pedro.
Any FFL members here that live near St. Louis?
Have you checked the Gun One One link in the rotating ads at the top of the page?
This thread is meant to list Illinois Carry members who are FFLs. The Gun One One list is broader since it doesn't rely on membership here.


Dove hunting is known as one of the popular kind of haunting now these days and this is now taken as a sport which will challenge all ability levels of the hunter. Many people may have expertise on animal haunting like deer or boar, but hunting a bird is not simple as you think. It needs proper skill, patience and present mind to achieve the target you want. While you are on hunting for animals, you can just follow them and can hit them with a proper point but birds are different. They do have a number of options available for escaping and therefore, you don't have to be all the accurate to catch them. According to many, dove hunting is a whole other ball game. If you are not deadly in targeting the points, then there is a lot of chances you can miss the bird which was once your prey. You may miss the target because you have to fire from a long distance from your COMETA air rifles.
What to do while going for hunting doves?
For a dove hunter, it is important to keep a close observation on the dove's flight pattern and habits. To get them multiple numbers, you have to choose such an area which is full with doves. These are the right place where you can feed them. Going frequently in that area, it will be easy for you to intercept them quite easily. Be sure that, you stay out open the fields as attempting the doves, but trees are the biggest hinder in these hunting plans. When you are staying in the open fields, you gave the best chance of success. Be sure that, you don't shake your body or move a muscle when the doves are drawing around you. They do have very sharp senses and excellent eyesight. If they see any movement at all, it will be a flop moment for you. For better result, try to hide yourself within the tall grass with your air rifle pellets and wait for the best moment. It will best while wearing camouflage to make sure that, you have blended yourself with your surrounding area. Some people love to catch a dive instead of hunting them. To do that, you should have different gears. It will be easy to catch them while they are eating their food and you should make them feed for a long time. You should have the proper skill to throw a net to the group of birds while they are on the surface. Most of them get trapped if the net will be properly thrown. This is one of the conventional ways to catch birds without firing them from a close range. Visit this link http://gunroom.com.au/ for more info on air rifle.
As much as you want to take a ride randomly somewhere and end up nowhere, I personally recommend that it would be more productive to go on day trips in Adelaide with a plan. Do some research, see which sort of environment you want to enjoy and how long it will take you to get there. Even plan all the place you are thinking of stopping by. Not everything you wanted to work along the plan, but you will have an idea on what you need to do and how much time you have.
Try to get up around the same time as the sun wakes up, so the sky is still darker. Not only will there be very less traffic bur it will also give you more time to enjoy the ride. But of course, if you really want to wake up fresh and active you might as well head down to bed a bit early the previous night.And also, don't worry about the distance, yeah the whole journey may take 10 hours (5 hours to go and another 5 hours to come) and you may see it as a tiring trip. But believe me, once you reach your destination the ride would be felt worthy.
You may reach to a point during lunch time or so where there aren't much restaurants or a shop to buy food (on your journey to the destination) or you might not, but why take a risk? Prepare something for lunch so you could either eat on the way or while sitting down in a stop you made during your day trip to kangaroo island from Adelaide.
Be prepared for sudden whether changes, and you might end up getting cold or really hot and sweaty. Therefore have yourself prepared for whatever situation you might have to face.
Yeah, sometimes going alone in peace is what we actually need but sometimes its great to go with your friends around you. This could be the ideal trip for all your friends as well, so maybe have them coming as well.
If you are in love you might have to go through a lot of bumpy rides. It might not always be unicorns and rainbows and at times you might have to go through rough patches. If that happens to be the case, it's important to patch things up then and there. Failing to do so could bring forward problems which could be easily avoided. Therefore, it's necessary to make sure that if there is an escalation you deal with it then and there. Talking about escalations, you could always get help from a friend. Fresh relationships have a tendency of deviating and if that happens to be the case you could easily let it go.
This is because new relationships are not meant to last for a long time. If you feel that fights are breaking out all the time, you could easily label it as a toxic relationship.On the other hand, if it's a serious relationship it's important to make sure that you look into every aspect. Serious and long term relationships need to be protected with everything. Firstly, to patch things up, you could try planning a small safari. You could look into kenya safari packages form Australia so that you'd be able to patch things up. It's important to look into a few tours before you zero in on one.
On the other hand, you might also need to make sure that you talk to your loved one. If she is against the whole thing it might not be a good idea for you to move forward with it. Best African safari tours can surely be looked at. Spending some alone time with your loved one in the forest might put all your problems to rest. This could be something which would help you to a great extent. It is important to make sure that you look into other aspects as well. You might not only want to rest your case on a safari. If things are serious and if it's out of hand you could simply try visiting a therapist. They are professionals and they are great at it. Therefore, they'd help you out and make sure that you enjoy every single moment.On the other hand, some relationships are completely healthy and for such relationships this just could be a bonding session. If you hardly spend time together, you could just pack your bags only to go and visit that beautiful place and this would help you get away from everything.
With time, you'd feel refreshed and this would make you very happy. These are aspects which could be looked at and this would help you greatly when you are try to have fun.
When people plan to take a trip abroad what they want to do is mostly go and visit the world famous places in that country. For example someone who visits England has to go and have a look at the big ben, the Buckingham palace and the London eye. A person who visits the USA has to go see the sky scrapers in Manhattan and the stature of liberty. A person who visits Australia has to go and have a look at the opera house or the Sydney harbor bridge. It's like they have a feeling of incompleteness or emptiness if they don't end up visiting these world renowned spots. Most probably it's because they can't tell people they visited such and such a country and it's a shame that they didn't visit any of these famous places. Most people would consider such a person crazy and such a trip a waste of time and money. Because most probably you would not get a chance like this again.
For example wanting to learn the ways of the people living in a country can be the main aim of an individual's visit. For this you don't have to go see any of the tourist crowded places in that country. You can just walk into a quiet town in that country if you actually want to absorb the culture, because it's the small town members who continue to celebrate them. For example Maqueda Lodge Kruger Park is one such place where there is a rich blend of African culture and wildlife on display for you. The colorful sights and sounds will make you head spin and you will be overwhelmed with all that you can see at this place. And that is why these spots are increasingly becoming popular for tourism and becoming popular tourist destinations even they are a far cry out from the usual tourism spots. Click here for more info on Maqueda Lodge Kruger Park.
And then when you have to talk about culture in Africa you definitely can't leave out the animals which are part of this rich culture that the country has to offer. And the South African Safari packages are an ideal way for us to witness the majestic wildlife that dwells deep in the forests of this country. With excellent tour guides and all the safety measures in place they make sure that the ride is an enjoyable one, and that the tourists have nothing to worry about when it comes to their safety. So make sure you take up one of these safari rides when you visit Africa one day.
There is a unique feeling in doing something by yourself. That is why DIY projects are getting a lot of popularity. Among hundreds of new ideas DIY surveillance and safety systems are gaining a good popularity among social media as well as on other communities. Having a surveillance system is important whether it is DIY or professional. If you want to keep your belongings, property and your family members safe you should consider installing one of these high end surveillance systems. Most of these systems are computer controlled and involve cutting edge technology. Even though you cannot install one of those modern day devices all by yourself, you can carry out a decent surveillance system as a DIY project. Here are some things to consider.
When you are going to install one of these systems in your house you will most probably choose devices like outdoor security cameras with night vision and they are, of course, built to withstand different weathers. For instance, they are durable, hardy and also, water resistant. But when you install these devices outside you will have to connect power cables to it, if they are not wireless. This is where you have to be very careful. You have to make sure that cables are properly sealed to withstand heavy weathers and water.Install devices on locations with a good height. It will protect devices from intruders and also, will provide a good view. When you mount these surveillance deices do a test run or a test viewing before making them permanently fixed. Because it will take some effort to fix them and you don't want to re do them again because of a little mistake. If you are using wireless devices, check their signal strengths before installing.
Choosing right locations play a huge role in these DIY projects. Specially if you are using a night vision camera, you have to find the right location that balance darkness and light. Make sure not to aim it towards sun because it will destroy the camera in long run and it will definitely destroy the footage or photographs. Maintain these devices is also important. Make sure to clean all your surveillance devices regularly with a non abrasive soft cloth.If you have a good budget, you should consider hiring a professional rather than doing it by yourself. Because professionals know what they are doing and they have years of experience. You can find a reliable and a professional team online and most of them can be contacted easily through internet as well.
Queensland is definitely the tourist state in Australia. People from all over the globe travel to the bright land for sun at Hervey Bay tour, surf and sights, some of which cannot be seen elsewhere. Gold Coast in particular is one of the most popular places in the country, largely due to the tourist attractions like the theme parks and the Sling Shot amusement ride.
For those who prefer something a little farther away from the land, Gold Coast (and other parts of Queensland) also offers something incredibly unique: whale-watching tours. From the Gold Coast itself, to Sunshine Coast, to even the capital Brisbane, people can partake in an adventure that has to experienced, not talked about.
Nevertheless, it can be described as mesmerising as well as relaxing. Tours typically take part on cruisers which offer all sorts of creature comforts. Tours take as long as a couple of hours, during which the sights of the sea will captivate even the most cynical passenger. The whales can be viewed from the deck, clear as day. Speaking of which, depending on the day you choose to partake in a tour, you could have two on the very same day.
When you're not drinking in the marvelous natural spectacle, you can drink to your heart's content at one of the many luncheons and food services that these tours regularly provide. Afternoon teas and lunches should serve to keep one's appetite at bay while they wait or watch for the sights to keep you otherwise occupied. A stomach full of refreshments and contentment holds one in good condition for the wonders he or she will experience.
Warnambool is another location in Queensland that can really reef fishing charters fuel your adventure drive. Thanks to having prime watching spots like Logan Beach Road, you can prepare yourself beforehand by making nourishment to enjoy. The best place to watch is near the coast so if you know where you look, you'll find plenty of whales to see.
If you have kids and prefer to take the opportunity while school's out of session, several tours can accommodate by providing school holiday sessions. With tours as early as 7am and as late as 2pm, there's a time for everyone so you won't have to miss out if your children are being particularly rowdy.
There are also educational benefits to the tour. Particular tours provide commentary by experts that you can listen to and learn from. The little factoids you can pick up can be like the icing on the whale-watching cake.
You should be guaranteed to get your money's worth, that's for sure. Some tours come with a policy that ensures that customers will be granted the experience of seeing the prized whales. If the experience ends up a failure, the tour price is made void. Therefore, you can rest assured that no matter what the outcome, you can still have the time of your life out on the seas of Queensland.
The theft of 4×4 caravans was once a major problem in the United Kingdom. It has decreased in prevalence, but it still remains a fact that over one thousand and six hundred caravans are stolen in the United Kingdom every year, with only about four per cent, or just over sixty are ever found again and returned to the owner after being stolen. One way to help keep thieves away from your caravan is to fit a coupling lock which will prevent anyone intending to steal your caravan from lifting the coupling latch, which will prevent the caravan from being released when it is attached to the car that is towing it, and from being towed by a car once it has been uncoupled and locked.
A universal make of coupling lock is also available which will prevent the caravan from being coupled by placing a tow ball attached to a lockable bar in the coupling, thus preventing it from being coupled to a prospective thief's car. If you feel that a greater level of security is required, a wheel clamp might be an option to consider. By contrast, a quick option that may have to suffice if you are caught out while on holiday to secure your caravan lest it be one of the one thousand, six hundred stolen 4×4 camper trailers for sale each year is a chain and padlock. Also consider having the VIN and licence plate number permanently engraved in various places inside the caravan, as thieves will alter these when trying to sell a stolen caravan. Invisible ink that only shows up under ultraviolet light is a good option.
One option that would not have been practical in the past for securing your 4×4 offroad camper is a GPS tracking device. These can easily be acquired for under two hundred dollars and tracked through a dedicated website or smart phone app. If you want guaranteed piece of mind regarding the security of your caravan, these are by far the best option. About the size of a key chain, they can easily be concealed somewhere in your caravan, and a motion sensor will activate the tracking feature only once the caravan begins to move.
This means that a GPS tracker is ideal as a form of security when your crossover trailer is at your destination caravan park or camp site, or when it is parked while you are at home but is less useful in cases where caravans have been stolen from servos and other places on the way to and from holiday spots. Luckily, these kinds of thefts are comparatively rare when considered alongside the number of caravans stolen from caravan parks and from homes. For this reason, it's a good idea to invest in secure parking for your strong tough camper at home if this is at all possible.
If you have ever been diving in the freezing cold waters of the North Atlantic or the Pacific then you will know that a wetsuit is a lifesaver in these conditions. Wetsuits are not meant to keep your body dry, in fact you get as wet as ever in a wetsuit, but wetsuits are designed to keep you warm in waters that would otherwise very much kill you, or at least have a good attempt at it.It only seems natural then that we should learn more about the history of wetsuits. After all, when you think about it wetsuits have probably saved your life on more than one occasion if you have been diving in freezing cold waters. So let's take a closer look at wetsuits and where they come from. Redirected here is the history of a wetsuit and other more information.
1951Yes the invention of the wetsuit was in 1951 which means that prior to 1951 divers were either diving without the aid of a wetsuit or they were not diving at all in fear for their lives. This is not strictly true though because prior to 1951 there were quite a few patent applications made to the US Patent Department which sound suspiciously like a design for a wetsuit. In 1947, for example, a man named Harvey Williams of Connecticut filed a patent for a "one-piece, step-in and slip-over-the-head" diving suit design, a wetsuit, which would keep the water out and radiate heat around the body. Prior to this the earliest wetsuit design was patented in 1927 by Thomas Edgar Aud who's designs were actually more of a lifesaving surf board suit than a wetsuit but who none the less had the idea as early as 1927.
Hugh BradnerThe credit for the modern wetsuit though goes to Hugh Bradner who, as we have already established, created the wetsuit in 1951. Where Bradner's wetsuit designs differed to the other wetsuit designs of the past, and where Bradner really deserves to take the credit, was figuring out that neoprene was a fantastic insulator and a great material to use for a wetsuit. To be fair to some of the others neoprene was only created in 1930 so Aud, for example, would not have known about its capabilities but Bradner was still the one who took it and applied to a wetsuit.Also the designs of other wetsuits differed from Bradner's as the others tried to keep the water from getting into the wetsuit and covering the body, whereas Bradner realised that letting the water in was the best way forward and not letting the heat escape was the key factor.
It is also important to remember that Bradner did not invent neoprene nor did he invent an insulated suit that could save your life whilst you were in the water. What he did was create a wetsuit that kept you warm whilst diving and took the technology of neoprene and added to the wetsuit to make the wetsuit even better.

Push on for National Breach Notice Law
White House Group Proposes Major Cybersecurity Initiatives Eric Chabrow (GovInfoSecurity) • May 2, 2014
A White House working group exploring big data and privacy has proposed that Congress enact a national data breach notification law as well as legislation to define the government's role in cybersecurity.
The panel recommends that a national data breach notification law should be based on legislation proposed by the administration three years ago (see Obama Offers Breach Notification Bill), which would impose reasonable time periods for notification, minimize interference with law enforcement investigations and potentially prioritize notification about large, damaging incidents over less significant ones.
In the May 1 report - Big Data: Seizing Opportunities, Preserving Values - the working group, headed by presidential counselor John Podesta, also proposes legislation to:
Synchronize laws regarding cybercrime with those of other types of crimes;
More clearly define the role of the Department of Homeland Security in providing voluntary assistance to industry, states and local governments;
Promote voluntary cyberthreat information sharing between industry and government with immunity from civil lawsuits;
Codify the president's cybersecurity framework, in which critical infrastructure operators can voluntarily adopt IT security best practices (see The Evolving Cybersecurity Framework);
Update the Federal Information Security Management Act, the law that governs federal government IT security, and formalize DHS's existing role in managing cybersecurity for civilian agencies;
Furnish the government more flexibility in hiring qualified IT security specialists;
Codify DHS's authority to oversee intrusion protection systems at civilian agencies; and
Prevent states from requiring companies to build their data centers in their states, to help facilitate the growth of cloud computing.
Big Data Revolution
Podesta, writing in a White House blog, says the big data revolution presents incredible opportunities in virtually every sector of the economy and every corner of society, but it also presents privacy and security challenges that must be addressed. "No matter how quickly technology advances, it remains within our power to ensure that we both encourage innovation and protect our values through law, policy and the practices we encourage in the public and private sector," Podesta says.
The working group - whose members included Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, Presidential Science Adviser John Holdren and Presidential Economic Adviser Jeff Zients - also propose amending the Electronic Communications Privacy Act to ensure the standard of protection for online, digital content is consistent with that afforded in the physical world - including by removing archaic distinctions between e-mail left unread or over a certain age.
That proposal was praised by the American Civil Liberties Union. "By recognizing that online and offline communications should be treated the same, the report lays the groundwork for keeping everyone's e-mails, texts and photos private and secure," says Christopher Calabrese, ACLU legislative counsel. "Now Congress and the administration need to make this vision a reality by enacting ECPA reform without any loopholes."

This celestial event occurs (on Earth) when a planet is opposite the Sun as seen from our vantage point. This also means the planet is typically at its closest position to Earth. Combine this with the fact that the half of the object - in this case Jupiter - that faces Earth will be fully illuminated by the Sun, and you can plan for some great viewing opportunities (assuming the weather complies).
I have a real passion for astrophotography, and love any excuse to get into the mountains to photograph the night's sky above Colorado's Rocky Mountains. Last year I got lucky while shooting star trails atop Loveland Pass, as haz-mat trucks were making the long way around Eisenhower Tunnel. I did some shorter exposures to "freeze" the stars in the sky, and captured a trucker ascending the pass as Jupiter hung in the sky overhead (see the photo at right). In the distance, you can see groomers working the trails at Arapahoe Basin ski area. This was taken in October of last year - about a month after Jupiter had reached opposition. Jupiter reaches opposition every 1.1 years.
I will certainly be out there on the 29th getting some shots of our planetary cousin - assuming the weather works to my advantage.

Civil War: University president's daughter announces engagement to Union general

Editor's note: One hundred fifty years ago Sunday, reports of the attack on Fort Sumter appeared in area newspapers. These stories from the Civil War are presented as they might have appeared in a student newspaper. All photos and article data courtesy of Wilson Library.
MAY 1865 — The family of University President and former Governor David Lowry Swain has sent out many invitations requesting the attendance of family and long-time friends at the marriage of their daughter, Miss Ella Swain, to Union General Smith Atkins of Illinois.
How the couple met is still up for debate.
Some claim the two met at the home of President Swain. When the general and his army first arrived in town, Atkins called upon the president at his home. While visiting in the president's parlor, Miss Swain came to the room where she met the general.
"She threw up her head and marched in with great display of hauteur," said Mrs. Cornelia Phillips Spencer, a neighbor and close family friend of the Swains.
Another version of the meeting simply says that a friend introduced them. However, the most common story of their acquaintance began with a dinner at the president's residence.
In true Southern hospitality, Swain invited the general to dinner at his home.
When Miss Swain, the president's youngest daughter, saw the soldier, she turned to her father and proclaimed that she would not sit at a table with a Yankee.
After a stern reminder about good manners and propriety, Miss Swain returned to the table but stated she would not say a single word to him.
Miss Swain, known for her wit and strong loyalty to the confederacy, had at first been offended by the presence of Yankees in her home, said Colonel W.D. Hamilton of the Ninth Ohio Cavalry. But in Atkins' presence Miss Swain's ideology quivered.
"It was the old, old story," Colonel Hamilton said. "A feathered arrow from the ancient bow had pierced the heart the modern bullet had failed to reach."
Rumor has it the general succeeded in getting Ella's consent to marry him before he left that night.
Though the couple is very much in love, the union has created an upheaval within Chapel Hill.
Town residents, disappointed already by President's Swain decisions concerning the school, have voiced their disapproval of the marriage.
Community members feel the Swains have betrayed their fellow Confederates by supporting this marriage, when so many Chapel Hill sons were killed by soldiers under General Atkins command.
Additionally, President Swain accepted congratulatory gifts from General William T. Sherman himself, one of the most hated union generals in the South, blamed for many of the post-war atrocities.
In addition to the town's disapproval, dissent is also present in the Swain family. Ella's own mother, Eleanor, is openly distraught.
Mrs. Swain hates the North and fears that Ella will spend much of her married life alone, while the general is away on business.
But it appears Miss Swain will hear none of the disapproval, seeing Gen. Atkins with eyes of a lover who can see no wrong.
"The world may scorn me if it will; I care but little for its scoffing," said Ella Swain about her marriage to the general.
"As to myself, but one voice can prevent this 'affair', and that is one higher than man."

The Zal Mahmud Pasha Mosque () is a 16th-century Ottoman mosque located in the Eyüp district of Istanbul, Turkey. It was designed by the imperial architect Mimar Sinan and completed in 1590.

History
The building of the mosque was jointly endowed by Şah Sultan and her second husband, the Bosnian born vizier, Zal Mahmud Pasha. Both had died in 1580. Şah was one of the daughters of the sultan Selim II and his wife Nurbanu Sultan. After the death of Şah Sultan's first husband in 1574 she married Zal Mahmud Pasha who in 1553 under Suleiman I's orders had strangled Şehzade Mustafa, a half-brother of Selim II and Suleiman's eldest son.

The mosque was designed by the imperial architect Mimar Sinan. Building work began in 1577 but was not completed until 1590, two years after Sinan's death.

Architecture
The mihrab is surrounded by a border of Iznik tiles.

Former Alabama player Les Williams is one of more than 100 suing NCAA over brain injuries
By Jesse Dougherty
The Washington Post |
Jul 03, 2018 | 6:05 PM
| Norcross, Ga.
Les Williams, a former defensive end for the University of Alabama, is part of a group of former players suing the NCAA after they are showing signs of CTE. (Kevin D. Liles / For the Washington Post)
They watched the same episode of "Sesame Street" four times. He fed his baby daughter lunch while pacing around the house. The midday sun ducked behind a rain cloud, dimming the living room into a sort of sepia tone, and Les Williams, feeling restless and a bit bored, pointed the remote at the television and put on football.
This was a regular activity on a regular afternoon in late April. Williams, a defensive end at Alabama in the early 2000s, never played in the NFL. But he and those of his generation who also fell short of a payday still have to deal with the consequences of hitting each other with their heads.
What's left of Williams' football career - constant headaches, memory loss, fits of depression, occasional rage - makes it hard for him to stay employed. He is instead a 37-year-old stay-at-home dad, taking care of 1-year-old Bailey and trying to sell self-invented products by phone while his wife, Arin, is at work. Most days, after watching Bailey's favorite shows and playing with Bailey on the floor and rocking Bailey as she sucks formula out of a bottle, Williams circles back to the sport he loves to follow but hates for what he thinks it did to his brain.
He flipped on the University of Georgia's annual spring game, which he recorded a week earlier and played several times since. He shook his head as a wide receiver lowered his helmet into a teammate's. He winced, shutting his eyes for a second, as two players collided along the sideline. Then Nick Chubb and Sony Michel, two Georgia running backs soon headed for the NFL, popped onto the screen for a joint interview.
"Look at these two young guys," Williams said. "They don't know if there is anything wrong with their brains. They ain't thinking that. They're smiling, the ratings are great, everything is great. But what happens later? How are they going to turn out after all the hits they've taken?
"Nobody talks about what happens next."
So what happens next?
Williams was a four-year player at Alabama with an outside shot to make the NFL. He didn't. He found a job. He quit. He started another job and quit that, too. He started having headaches. Constant headaches. He lashed out at random times and, for the first time in his life, it was hard to relate to bosses or co-workers or anyone, really. He was depressed. He married Arin and their family grew. He was out of work and, scared of his future, joined more than 100 former college players who are suing the NCAA.
The individually filed class-action lawsuits are consolidated in front of one judge in federal court in Chicago. Williams and the other former players are suing the NCAA for failing to educate and protect them from the risk of long-term brain damage resulting from repeated hits to the head. They are seeking compensation and reforms in how the organization treats past, present and future football players who suffer head injuries.
These cases make up the first large group of concussion-related lawsuits against the NCAA. They come as the NCAA continues to be scrutinized for not compensating or protecting revenue-generating athletes, and also on the heels of it settling a lawsuit with the family of Greg Ploetz, a former University of Texas football player who claimed the NCAA was liable for his brain injuries and eventual death in 2015. Boston University researchers found chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the degenerative brain disease known as CTE, in Ploetz's brain. CTE also was found recently in the brain of Tyler Hilinski, 21, the Washington State quarterback who committed suicide in January.
"The issue of CTE among former college football players only receives a small fraction of the attention and coverage NFL players receive, and a small fraction of what college players deserve," said Chris Nowinski, the founder of the Concussion Legacy Foundation. "It doesn't receive the spotlight for myriad reasons, including the fact that the individuals aren't as famous."
College football left Williams living in the in-between.
Like college players then and now, he was not paid to play. He was recruited by Alabama, Ohio State and Texas, among many other top programs, but is never recognized anymore. He is just old enough to have not been warned of the sport's dangers, but young enough to see his possible future unfold on television and the internet, with the stories of Aaron Hernandez and Junior Seau and Dave Duerson showing the fate he fears most.
"You mean to tell me that 20 years from now I could . . ." Williams said before pausing as his eyes filled with tears. "Like I could kill myself, or my wife, or my kids? I didn't sign up for that."
More than 15 years later, Williams still calls it the hit.
It was one play in a career full of colliding helmets. But if he tries to trace his headaches back to where they began, the hit rushes into his brain all over again, at the center of Bryant-Denny Stadium in 2002, his chiseled 20-year-old frame draped in a No. 48 Alabama jersey, his legs pumping him straight at Southern Mississippi's punter.
"I hit that boy so hard," Williams said, and he shook his head before re-enacting the play in his living room while Bailey crawled at his feet. By that point in Williams' football career, it was normal to launch himself at vulnerable opponents. That is what he was told to do, he says now, as a Pop Warner player in Phoenix, a high school standout in Stone Mountain, Georgia, and eventually a 6-foot-5, 216-pound defensive end at Alabama.
Williams grew up poor, eating bread and peanut butter for many dinners, so ramming himself against other teenagers felt like his best chance at a better future. So when that got him to Alabama, he never asked questions. He never complained to trainers. He did what he was told.

He remembers a summer workout drill early in his college career that ended with a helmet-to-helmet collision. An assistant coach told Williams he could hit harder. The next time the whistle blew, he sprinted at his teammate and flung his head into his face mask. Williams remembers losing vision in his left eye for about 30 seconds as that whole side of his body went numb. He did not tell coaches in fear of losing his spot on special teams or being labeled as "soft."
Williams says he did not hear the word "concussion" until he was finished playing football.
"That never came up," Williams said, adding that he and his teammates were not educated on the risks of long-term brain damage or safe-tackling techniques. "It was not something we knew about, it was not something we talked about."
CTE, which cannot be diagnosed in living patients, can be caused by blows to the head that result in concussions and by the accumulation of subconcussive hits over a longer period. Williams believes he suffered a concussion on the hit against Southern Mississippi in September 2002.
He was mad at his position coach over his playing time and wanted to take his anger out. Southern Mississippi punter Mark Haulman fumbled a snap before taking off toward the first-down marker. Williams tracked Haulman until they were all alone on the sideline, and smashed his helmet into the side of the Haulman's head.
Haulman flew out of bounds. The hit later made the Top 10 plays on "SportsCenter." But Williams' head rang as he jogged to the bench. Teammates smacked his helmet in celebration and fans showered him with cheers, yet the noise all blurred into a slow, monotone hum. Something wasn't right.
"I knew I made a mistake the way that I hit him," Williams said. "From that day forward, my life really hasn't been the same."
They had to write down all the reasons they were here, sitting in a marriage counseling office in early 2016.
Les and Arin Williams married in May 2015 on a white-sand beach off Florida's Atlantic coast. They went to the same high school in Georgia, Les a year ahead of Arin, but did not connect until a mutual friend introduced them about six years ago. Les worked as an insurance agent for New York Life at the time. Arin conducted HIV research for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a job she still holds.
[Most read in Sports] Column: Jessica Mendoza just gave ESPN a new reason to dump her when she criticized the whistleblower in the Astros cheating scandal »
Their life felt perfect. Then it wasn't.
Now Arin checked off the reasons they were in therapy less than a year after the wedding: their heated arguments, or Les' sudden fits of anger, or Les' inability to focus on their relationship. She glanced over at her husband's sheet and saw five words: Suicidal thoughts in the past.
"He had not shared that with me," said Arin, who said she was not speaking on behalf of her employer when interviewed for this story. "But I wasn't really surprised after how I had seen him spiral into really dark places and be overcome with such sadness. It's heartbreaking."
A few months before that appointment, an internet advertisement caught Arin's attention. It was for a law firm in Fort Worth, Texas, that was representing former college football players with medical issues that could be linked to CTE. The symptoms listed in the ad matched what Williams was dealing with, so Arin wrote the phone number down.
Except Williams refused to reach out. In his mind, he did not need a lawyer or a doctor or a therapist to help him. He needed to find a job; he needed to stop being sad all the time; he needed to be a man.

But his issues had grown over the past several years and were now reaching the most important people in his life. The opportunity weighed on him until he was lying on their guest room floor one night, his face soaked in tears, his trembling voice repeating the same question while Arin sat close by: "What is wrong with me?"
Williams called the law firm the next day.
"The hard part is that these players have trouble linking their health issues to their careers," said Vinny Circelli, the lawyer representing Williams in his case. "They were never told there could be a link, or a lot of them don't want to believe it. They're powerless, whether that's by a lack of education or the football culture they played in."
Circelli's law firm is representing more than half of the former players suing the NCAA. The cases were also brought against a handful of individual conferences and colleges. (Williams is suing the Southeastern Conference in addition to the NCAA, but not Alabama because, Circelli said, he "loves his school" and does not find it responsible for his health issues.) Their lawyers plan to present evidence that the NCAA, which does not provide long-term health care for former athletes, had extensive knowledge of the long-term health risks associated with hits to the head that it did not relay to players. The plaintiffs are also suing the NCAA for breach of contract, insisting that it failed to care for players as promised in forms signed by athletes at the start of their careers.
Each individual case has the potential to be a class-action lawsuit if the class is approved by U.S. District Judge John Lee, who is reviewing a handful of motions to dismiss filed by the NCAA's lawyers that are expected to be decided in the coming weeks. That gives this concussion litigation the potential to reach thousands of former college football players. The proceedings are expected to pick up in the fall, a few months after the undisclosed Ploetz settlement, and as the NCAA faces questions of whether it should pay players who help generate millions of dollars in annual profit.

The NCAA did not respond to an interview request for this story. SEC officials declined to be interviewed through a spokesman, who said the conference does not comment on pending litigation. Alabama declined to comment through a spokeswoman.
"There was a good amount of concern from the NCAA with how the trial would have gone," Michael McCann, a sports law professor at the University of New Hampshire, said of the Ploetz settlement. "These cases are coming and coming, with the class-action lawsuits potentially next, and it doesn't seem like they are going to stop."
In the two years since contacting Circelli, Williams has educated himself on the consequences of head injuries. He and Arin watched the movie "Concussion," and she cried while looking at her husband stare into his potential future. Williams closely followed the Aaron Hernandez case, from the former NFL tight end's murder conviction to him committing suicide in jail at age 27. Last summer, Williams read about the study that found CTE in 110 of 111 former NFL players' brains donated for study.
He wishes he could go back and be a basketball player or a track runner or anything not involving football. He will never let his two sons, now 9 and 5, play organized football. Concussions, he now believes, have turned him into a spectator of his own life.
"I'm 37, so what the hell is going to happen when I'm 67?" Williams said. "How about when I'm 70? Does this continually get worse? Is there anything I can do about it? There isn't. I just don't want to burden my wife and kids. I just want to be me for as long as I can."

Williams shook three tablets of Motrin out of a white bottle, then a fourth, and then a fifth before popping the handful into his mouth and tossing his head back.
"They don't work anymore," he said in the kitchen on that same late-April afternoon. "I am so sick of taking these little orange pills."

This is when he starts to get mad at his unemployment, at the headaches that come more frequently, at not knowing what happens next. He and Bailey, out of shows to watch and things to do, paced around the house for a while until they were ready to go outside.
Their daily walk through the neighborhood is Williams' chance to relax. He relies on routine to combat depression and anger. He hums lullabies to Bailey. He points to his favorite houses while she blows spit bubbles onto her chin.

"That's how I want my grass to look," Williams said as he slowed in front of a three-car garage. "Arin supports our whole family, but when I start chipping in again that's how our lawn is going to be."
It was soon time to put Bailey down for a nap, get his youngest son from school and pick up dinner from Chipotle around the corner.
But first Williams had to sit down. He started to rub his bald head as soon as he and Bailey returned home. He winced as he folded his large frame onto the couch. He looked around the living room and drew a long breath.
"I feel another headache coming," he said, and then he leaned back and closed his eyes.

At its core the tech industry is about thinking differently and finding creative solutions where traditional industry often fails or reacts too slowly to keep pace with the changing world.
It therefore lends itself to an environment where flexible working practices can thrive by utilising the newest technology that's available to allow employees to work flexibly. The benefits of agile working shouldn't just belong to the dev and product teams!
Here at Piriform we champion flexible working for two reasons. Firstly, we want to recruit the best talent in the market, regardless of that person's family or other commitments. Secondly, 'making Piriform a great place to work' is one of our company objectives so we do everything we can to ensure Piriform employees achieve a work/life balance. We want this culture to pervade at all levels so all employees feel able to request flexible working from director-level right through to our graduates.
As directors, we have to take responsibility for striking the right work life balance – we think it is important to practice what we preach. I work four days a week and spend my time between the London office and working from my home in Cheshire where I live with my husband and three-year-old daughter. After having my daughter, it was incredibly important for me to go back to work but also to spend time with my daughter. My current working arrangement gives me the best of both worlds, doing a job I love and helping to create a company culture which allows others to do the same and also being a mum! I may need to jump on late night Trans-Atlantic calls but equally I can run to do a 5.30pm nursery pick up. It's just all about balance, whether even if it's balancing nursery pick-ups with board meetings.
We have a number of other employees, both men and women, who work flexibly both in terms of location and hours. Although flexible working is traditionally requested by women we feel strongly that men should also be encouraged and feel equally able to request this. We recently approved our first flexible working request by a member of our development team which was made so he could help with childcare arrangements. As a young progressive tech company we have been proud of having women at both board and VP level and are now equally as proud at turning the flexible working tables by promoting this way of working to both men and women. The difference we believe is that we don't just talk the rhetoric, we can deliver with actual data!
With some thought, the tech industry is one of the best industries to be able to access a wider talent pool because of its ability to move quickly and work with evolving technology to allow everyone to feel like they're in the same room even if they're not.
We strongly believe that flexibility benefits both the employer and the employee. It doesn't matter that we don't meet at the same place at the same time every day. What we all agree on is getting the job done, which is a given when you recruit the best.

Zoo appeals for help to save zebra
Marwell Wildlife, which owns and operates Marwell Zoo in Hampshire, is making an appeal to help save Grevy's zebra in the wild.
The conservation charity has been working to support the endangered Grevy's zebra in Kenya for over 20 years. This year, Kenya is once again experiencing a drought and the Grevy's populations in the remote north are at risk and urgently need supplementary hay.
Working with the Grevy's Zebra Trust, Marwell Wildlife is buying 500 bales of hay and transferring them on lorries across rough terrain to the remote areas that desperately need it. Other costs include paying for local scouts to store, distribute and regularly monitor the hay and its intake.
To donate, visit www.justgiving.com/campaign/grevyszebra

Q: How to transfer data from wide format to long format in Excel Or SQL? I have a data like shown below.Any idea how to convert from wide format to long format in Excel Or SQL.
ID       TOTAL    SCORE   PLAYER
34543    12342     456    45
45632    34521     241    33

OUTPUT:
ID        DATA_TYPE   VALUE
34543      TOTAL      12342
34543      SCORE      34521
34543      PLAYER     45
45632      TOTAL      34521
45632      SCORE      241
45632      PLAYER      33

A: My preferred method for unpivoting is to use apply:
select t.id, v.*
from t cross apply
     (values ('TOTAL', total), ('SCORE', score), ('PLAYER', player)
     ) v(DATA_TYPE, VALUE);

In addition to being rather concise, this is a good introduce to lateral joins.  This is a very powerful construct in SQL, useful for many other purposes (unlike UNPIVOT).  It also scans the table only once, so it is more efficient than UNION ALL.

A: You need to use UNPIVOT in your query. Try this:
--sample data
declare @t table (id int, total int, score int, player int)
insert into @t values
(34543, 12342, 456, 45),
(45632, 34521, 241, 33)
--query that will return deisred result
select Id, Data_Type, Value from (
    select * from @t
) [t] unpivot (
    VALUE for DATA_TYPE in (total, score, player)
) [u]

A: Use this query:
SELECT *
FROM
    (SELECT distinct ID, 'TOTAL' AS DATA_TYPE, TOTAL AS VALUE
    FROM Your_Table
    UNION
    SELECT distinct ID, 'SCORE' AS DATA_TYPE, SCORE AS VALUE
    FROM Your_Table
    UNION
    SELECT distinct ID, 'PLAYER' AS DATA_TYPE, PLAYER AS VALUE
    FROM Your_Table) as tbl
ORDER BY ID

A: If your version of Excel is 2010 or later, you can use Power Query (aka Get & Transform in Excel 2016) and unpivot all except the ID column.
Easily done from the GUI
or
Code
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", Int64.Type}, {"TOTAL", Int64.Type}, {"SCORE", Int64.Type}, {"PLAYER", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"ID"}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns"


A project backed by celebrity architect Dermot Bannon has been championing the idea of converting elderly people's homes into separate units for two years now - and it costs a lot more than €15,000.
The Abhaile Project - the brainchild of accountant Michelle Moore, who has enlisted the help of Bannon and architect Ciarán Ferrie - was awarded funding following a Rebuilding Ireland competition looking for innovative 'smart aging' housing ideas last year. The cost of the retrofit is currently between €45,000-€55,000.
The team has designed a solution for a three-bed semi detached that allows a self-contained rental unit upstairs. It includes adding a kitchen and a reconfiguration of the layout to meet regulations for renters.
The design is reversible to allow a home to be turned back to a family home if necessary.
A pilot project is currently being completed in Clondalkin, west Dublin.
The Abhaile Project is hopeful that grant funding will be made available for elderly homeowners but has cautioned that any scheme would need to be fully and carefully teased out to ensure it protects the elderly person and does not have unintended consequences for the housing market.
Under the model the Abhaile Project will act as a property manager once the rental unit is complete.
The house would still be considered a single unit and people are able to rent it out tax-free under the rent-a-room scheme.


An unprecedented opportunity presents itself in the offering of 2 Cliff Road, largely considered to be the crown jewel of Belvedere Island. The iconic wood and glass waterfront residence has been in the same family for over 50 years. The property, existing residence and newly approved plans for an +- 11,400 square foot home are now available for the most discriminating buyer. Simply put, there will never be another opportunity to acquire this parcel. Perfectly site placed on mostly level 1.4 acres, the existing residence offers tall walls of glass, large public spaces, and all day sun and light with south facing exposure. Every public room, as well as the master suite, opens to a large, level outdoor terrace. Nationally recognized architect Steven Wisenbaker has recently designed a newly approved +-11,400 square foot glass and wood contemporary masterpiece that seamlessly integrates the new residence with a myriad of level outdoor level living spaces, and also includes a 1,045 square foot 3 car garage. The world class 5 bedroom, 6 full and 2 half bathroom new home offers perfectly proportioned scale with high ceilings, a very desirable floorplan, and optimal indoor/outdoor living from almost every room in the home. The approved plans also incorporate an elevator which connects every level of the home with the park like grounds and exterior entertaining areas. Old growth trees, mature gardens, a Zen garden, waterfalls, and an Architectural Digest worthy in-ground "blue lagoon" pool define the 1.4 acres. Built into the vertical cliffs that overhang the blue waters of the San Francisco Bay, the pool and exterior terraces are reminiscent of the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur; resort like in every way. 2 Cliff Road is truly a vacation experience at home. The residence offers a veritable moving postcard with a consistent parade of sea planes, yachts, paddle boards, and other recreational activities right at your own water's edge. Gated and private, the property enjoys unparalleled water views that extend from the marinas of Sausalito, to both towers of the Golden Gate Bridge, to downtown San Francisco, and the newly embedded light installation of the Bay Bridge.

DUBAI (January 21, 2019)—Dubai Racing Club invites media members to apply for 2019 Dubai World Cup accreditation. The $35 million race day will take place on Saturday, March 30, at Meydan Racecourse. Early applications are encouraged.
Applicants should upload 1MB jpg scans of their passport photo page and a photograph. UAE residents will also require 1MB jpg scans of their Emirates ID (front and back) and valid UAE visa scans.
Round 1 Of The Al Ain Marathon Series, a 3200m Purebred Arabian handicap, was the official feature at Al Ain on Friday and developed into a duel over the final 300m between last year's winner Shamikh Al Wathba and Hareer Al Reef. Committed for home leaving the home turn by Fernando Jara, Hareer Al Reef looked likely to be swallowed up by several challengers throughout the straight, but kept fighting them off before the eventual runner-up loomed large as a serious danger.
Racing at Meydan on Saturday may not be a Dubai World Cup Carnival card, but does feature several runners with aspirations for the international extravaganza, including Bold Rex, one of two in the official highlight over 1400m on turf for trainer Mike de Kock. The 5-year-old gelded son of Bold Silvano was tenth, beaten just five lengths, in a 1600m turf handicap at the Carnival won by stable companion Baroot last Thursday. That was the trainer's first winner of the season. It was the horse's first run since a fruitless 2018 carnival campaign, during which he fractured his pelvis in February.
DUBAI (January 17, 2019)— Thursday's third evening of the 2019 Dubai World Cup Carnival at Meydan was highlighted by the $250,000 Cape Verdi sponsored by Azizi Developments, a 1600m turf feature restricted to fillies and mares, won in style by Poetic Charm. The winner was a seventh in the race for Godolphin, fourth in consecutive years and second for trainer Charlie Appleby, whose Certify won in 2017. The victory was also the second of an Appleby treble.
Round 1 of the Al Ain Marathon Series, a 3200m Purebred Arabian handicap, is the official feature at Al Ain on Friday. Last season's winner, Shamikh Al Wathba, will be among the 15 declared runners. Formerly a 2600m handicap staged in December, as it was when Shamikh Al Wathba landed it last season, the race is staged over an extra 600m this year, but that should not inconvenience the defending champion, a winner over 3200m in Round 2 of the Al Ain Marathon Series.
Meydan Racecourse hosts its third 2019 Dubai World Cup Carnival meeting!
Sunday's first race meeting of 2019 at the Abu Dhabi Equestrian Club was highlighted by the only Thoroughbred contest on the card, the last of six races and a 2200m handicap won fairly easily by Skygazer. A 7-year-old gelded son of Echo of Light, Skygazer was originally only the second reserve, but took full advantage of the late opportunity presented for trainer Ali Rashid Al Rayhi and jockey Ronan Whelan.
Abu Dhabi Equestrian Club stage their first meeting of 2019 on Sunday, a six-race card highlighted by the only Thoroughbred contest, a 2400m handicap that has attracted the maximum allowed field of 14. The weights are headed by local debutant Tribal Conquest.
Racing at Jebel Ali on Friday afternoon, the first meeting of 2019 up the famous hill, was highlighted by a 1000m conditions race for 3-year-olds and Golden Jaguar produced a remarkable performance to win on debut. As the stalls opened, the colt by 2013 Dubai World Cup winner Animal Kingdom appeared to lean backwards, almost rearing and forfeiting a few lengths to his 12 rivals.


PHOENIX - A day following the NFL decision to allow the Oakland Raiders to relocate to Las Vegas, NFL owners blazed through numerous rule and by-law proposals nearly as quickly as the vote on the Raiders took place Monday.
It all happened so fast that the meetings ended Tuesday afternoon rather than at lunchtime Wednesday. Not surprisingly, a few proposals were tabled because there wasn't enough time to adequately discuss them with the owners.
The most notable change for 2017 will be the centralization of replay reviews in New York City with league director of officiating Dean Blandino's staff making the final decision. No longer will the referee go "under the hood" on the sideline. Instead, he will have a hand-held tablet and will communicate with the league office during the review.
While Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he is "extremely comfortable" with the change, when asked if he believes it will add to more accurate calls, Tomlin said, "Accuracy is a slippery slope. I think the consistency of the calls will go up when the judgment is centrally handled."
Leading the other seven changes is the banning of players from leaping over the line of scrimmage in an attempt to block a field goal or extra-point try.
One of the most dramatic plays last season occurred when Denver Broncos safety Justin Simmons leaped over the line to block an extra-point attempt, and safety Will Parks ran it back for a two-point play and 25-23 win over New Orleans.
"It definitely stinks," Simmons said of the practice being banned. "I don't see how it's dangerous in any way."
His general manager disagreed. Said John Elway, "Obviously it helped us. I liked the play, but I understand where we eventually got with the committee as far as player safety. That was the most important thing. It would take one bad injury on that play for us -- if we hadn't done something about it -- to have felt pretty bad. I think it was the right move and the right direction."
Other players also disagreed with Simmons. In fact, Rich McKay, president of the Atlanta Falcons and Competition Committee chair, said when the committee met with a group of players at the Combine, they said, "We don't like this play."
--Made permanent a rule to disqualify a player who receives two penalties for certain types of unsportsmanlike conduct fouls.
--Extended for another season the rule placing the spot of the snap after a touchback following a kickoff to the 25-yard line.
--The defenseless player designation has been extended to wide receivers running a pass route.
--Crack-back blocks have been prohibited "by a backfield player who is in motion, even if he is not more than two yards outside the tackle when the ball is snapped."
--Players who commit multiple fouls during the same down in attempt to manipulate the clock will now be assessed unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
--Finally, the league made "actions to conserve time illegal after the two-minute warning of either half."
Tabled until the May meeting was a proposal to shorten overtimes from 15 to 10 minutes. That was one that McKay acknowledged owners didn't have enough information to make a decision.
A by-law proposal not adopted was a procedure in which a player with a concussion could be replaced on the active roster an unlimited number of time during the season when declared out on the injury report.
--Liberalized rules for timing, testing, and administering physical examinations to draft-eligible players at a club's facility for one year only.
--Changed the procedures for returning a player on reserve/physically unable to perform (PUP) or reserve/non-football injury or illness to the active list to be similar to those for returning a player that was designated for return. That eliminated the time each season after the 11th weekend when a player on PUP was not permitted to play again that season.
Another by-law tabled so more data can be communicated was one where teams can negotiate a contract and come to agreement with a potential head coach while his team is still playing in the post-season. The caveat is that no agreement can be announced nor can an actual contract be executed.
Also tabled was a proposal of added emphasis to eject players because of particularly egregious hits, of which McKay said there were only three during the 2016 season. McKay insisted, however, that watching large amounts of video, "We were pleasantly surprised and impressed. We have to give credit to players, coaches, and going back to college and high school, where we see players adjust the way they play the game well within the rules."
As for trying to become more consistent on post-touchdown celebrations, commissioner Roger Goodell said he will meet with a group of players in hopes of bringing clarity to the rules while still allowing players to show their personalities and celebrate.

Opened by award-winning writer and film maker, Matt Dickinson, St Mary's students are enjoying using their newly refurbished Library, at the Senior School on Lexden Road in Colchester.
Working alongside Miss Faith Pittock, a former St Mary's student and now Project Designer for Morgan Lovell, a leading UK office design and build company, and seeking input from Librarian, Mrs Valerie Cassell and the English Department, St Mary's embarked on the challenge of updating and refurbishing the Senior School Library.
The aim of the brief was to create a stunning and attractive library, catering for group study and individual research. The first challenge was to take down a three-metre-high structural wall which separated two areas, to enlarge and open up the space and create a light and airy learning environment. It was important to maintain and highlight the beautiful mouldings, by using a colour scheme which complimented these original features. Staying true to St Mary's colours - a dark blue was used for the flooring.
The furniture was updated to include some lovely, solid oak pieces, with a large round table, fabric upholstered stools and a Scandi-style couch.
The Library was officially opened by award winning writer and film maker Matt Dickinson during a recent visit to St Mary's – he was impressed with the space and wished all the students many happy times indulging in a love of reading.
St Mary's is an independent school for girls aged 3-16 and boys aged 3-4, set on two campuses close to Colchester town centre.


Ultra-Torque bottom bracket cups for BB86 BB shells and Campagnolo's Ultra-Torque chainsets. Bearing are not included.
Campagnolo Ultra Torque BB86 Bottom Bracket Cups is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by pclagua from Reliable campy product Wiggle's top service & most competitive prices vs direct competitors.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Andy384 from fits. No creaks. high tolerance. These are what you need to run UltraTorque on BB86 frame. Compared to other options I have tried, the Campagnolo ones have the best fit to the bearings without slop. Also when fitted with Loctite there is no creaking.
Rated 5 out of 5 by mythos from Need this to run UT cranksets on BB86 frames The title says it all. This is what you need to run Campy Ultra Torque cranksets on BB86 framesets which are essentially designed for Shimano Hollowtec cranksets from the word go. Remember these are for UT cranksets and not Power Torque cranksets. Usual Campy quality and worked like a charm on my BMC SLR01. Inner bearing seals are pre-installed and these add a wee bit of drag on CULT bearings, but I suppose you can pull them out if you must. Weighs 40g a pair (wave washer and DS arm retaining clip not included). The cups say they are compatible with EPS, but if you are using them with framesets with internal wiring you will need to get an EPS cable guide to help protect the cable from rotating spindle (it's a plastic sleeve that goes between the left and right bottom bracket cups), and it's not included in this set.
Which Bottom Bracket Bearings do i get to work with these?
Hi, are these the 2015 version or an older version?
These should be 2015 models.
Unfortunately not, these are only compatible with Ultra Torque chainsets.
What is the best tool to remove these cups?
Are these cups compatible with the Colnago ThreadFit 82.6 bottom bracket?
Unfortunately this press fit bottom bracket will not work with your frame.
Will these work with a Colnago C60 and Campag Super Record 11 cranksets?
This should be suitable for both items.
Is this bottom bracket compatible with the new 12 speed cranksets?
Yes this will be compatible with the 12 speed Campagnolo Ultra Torque Crankset(s).
If I buy a, for example, BSA threaded Campag chorus groupset from wiggle, can I just use this and press the bearings directly into these adaptor cups, or is it a completely different crankset.
You will require these cups to fit a Campagnolo Chorus Ultra Torque Chainset to a BB86 frame. The bearings themselves are not supplied with these cups.


February is National Pet Dental Health Month. The fact that an entire month has been devoted to pet dental health should be a clue that the veterinary profession considers dental health a high priority. Are you interested in learning how much you really know about your pet's dental health? Then take the American Veterinary Medical Association's quiz here.
Lawndale Veterinary Hospital certainly considers dental health as an essential part of your pet's wellness care. We have a variety of dental health resources available on our 'Paws to Protect: Dental Health' page. Furthermore, if it's time for your pet to receive a professional dental cleaning under anesthesia, then February is a great time to schedule since we are discounting dental cleanings by 20% during the entire month!
Maybe you are someone who already focuses on maintaining your pet's dental health through daily tooth brushing, prescription dental diets, dental chews with the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) seal of approval, oral hygiene rinses, and/or professional dental cleanings under anesthesia. That's fantastic – and we encourage you to visit our 'Paws to Protect: Dental Health' section if you need some new ideas for dental care!
Or, perhaps you have a young dog or cat with healthy teeth, so you think dental health is something you can worry about later. Well, it's never too soon to start with home dental care! Getting your young pet to tolerate tooth-brushing can set you up for lifelong daily brushing success. Or, finding dental diets, chews, or treats that work for your individual pet early will get you in the habit of using them regularly.
If you are a pet owner who still needs some convincing that proper dental care is essential for your pet's well-being, then we have put together 10 reasons why we think all pet owners should care about their pet's teeth.
Dental disease can cause discomfort and pain. As plaque and tartar accumulation progress, inflammation can set in, causing periodontal disease.
