Draft Info
Eagles History
Bye Bye Benn
Posted: May 16th, 2014 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 80 Comments »
The Eagles cut WR Arrelious Benn today. He seemed like such a good acquisition last spring, but he got hurt and never got a chance to really show what he could do.
The Eagles have enough depth at WR that Benn is a luxury and not a necessity. The team has Maclin, Cooper, Matthews and Huff as the top group of receivers. Brad Smith is a quality veteran that is still in the mix. Damaris Johnson still has a chance to contribute. Jeff Maehl can be an effective role player. BJ Cunningham is a player the team still has some hope for. I think UDFA Kadron Boone could be a player to watch.
I'll write more about the position in a longer post. This will be a very interesting position. And you do have to factor in the presence of Darren Sproles whenever you think of the passing game. He will be in the slot more than once or twice.
There is another possiblity. Jeff McLane noted that Benn was due $1.1M in salary and McLane thinks he could possibly return for less money.
The Eagles got a bit of a break with the news that Colts pass rusher Robert Mathis would be suspended for the opening 4 games of the regular season. The Eagles are scheduled to play the Colts in Week 2. That game is in Indy, where Mathis is deadly off the edge.
The suspension is highly controversial. Read this for more info. I can understand both sides, but the league doesn't come off looking good when you read the story. We'll see if anything changes.
OL Darryn Colledge left Philly without a contract. The Eagles want to improve their depth, but they don't feel desperate. They're not going to overpay for help. And Colledge may want to test the waters to see if he can find a spot where he's got a chance to start. I'm sure he is still wanting to play and not just get paid.
I haven't written much about Alejandro Villanueva since the Eagles signed him. He is 6-9, 277 and will play DE. I remember him at Army when he was a gigantic WR. He was an interesting college player.
Villanueva served in the army and is now looking to pursue his football career. He came to the right place if he's looking for an open-minded team that likes big, athletic guys.
Think of him as a major longshot, but a guy to pull for and someone that should be interesting to watch.
Have a little fun at Tony Romo's expense.

I reallllly have to pull for Villanueva. If this doesn't work out he's said he's going back into the service, definitely don't need another Pat Tillman because we cut the ranger from the squad.
3 Maggie said at 1:16 AM on May 17th, 2014:
He has other options. Volunteering for a third time to go into another country and get into "combat" gives one pause, considering that most folks who have been there would do almost anything to never have to go back. Of course, there are people who are comfortable in the military, knowing the structure and their place in it.
4 Ark87 said at 9:08 AM on May 17th, 2014:
It's complicated for a lot of them. The adrenaline of combat tends to take the shine off of state-side life. State-side is so insulated from all the crap they've seen and know about (what it's really like). There is a trauma and terror that haunts them, but a strange draw that beckons them back (some describe it as the only way they feel alive). Factor in the only people that could ever understand them are their brothers in arms, they miss that camaraderie. Anywho a lot of them feel like the front lines is the only place that they belong, and would really struggle to do anything else contently.
I really want this to work out for this guy because football is the absolute perfect step-down towards civilian life. It has the adrenaline, that intense focus and efforts to pour everything you got into. And it has the camaraderie.
5 mheil said at 5:33 AM on May 17th, 2014:
sounds like a great guy, but it looks to me like he needs to add 25-30 lbs of muscle to his 6'9″ frame to seriously challenge for a spot on the 53, even if he learns to play what for him is a new position; his current build seems more suited to TE; his frame reminds me of Kruger last yr [6'6″, 269 lbs]
You're absolutely right. He likely needs at least a year with our trainers. They basically have to rebuild him, right now he's been optimized to operate with freakish endurance to last weeks in the field. We need to focus more on packing on the pounds, maximize strength and explosion to last more to the tune of 2 hours rather than 2 weeks.
7 GEAGLE said at 9:13 AM on May 17th, 2014:
Sounds like he needs to suffer a phantom injury and head to IR, which is probably his best shot to make the eagles
The Kruger treatment. I'm excited to see how the year has treated him by the way. Can't wait to see what he's got.
9 GEAGLE said at 12:29 PM on May 17th, 2014:
Oh I'm SOOO excited about him. Thought there world of his potential.. Whenever talking about him last year, I would mention that when Utah's defense had the offense backed up to the one yard line, you could just see Kruger turn it up and go make a play in the ENDZONE..funny that he mentioned that in his eagles video on PE the other day,.he mentioned how he lives for those times when the defense is backed up, and I think it's clearly evident in his Utah film…
Kruger is up to 290. He can be what Hart will be in the run game, only Kruger is more explosive and can provide much more pass rush than hart. very excited about Kruger and I think he will open plenty of eyes in camp this year,

11 A_T_G said at 10:09 PM on May 16th, 2014:
Maybe it is to remind himself of all the experts that said he should have been drafted in the second round. Or, maybe his Dad has the same name.

Funny that this reach, Marcus smith, said he was under the impression the Carfinals were going to draft him with the 27th I pick, which coincides with Howie not wanting to trade too far back to miss on him…..all the hacks who called it a reach and riled up the fanbase to crap all over the kid who just realized a dream should be unemployed.
15 TommyLawlor said at 10:23 PM on May 16th, 2014:
I thought only Eagles players whose last name was Thomas were allowed to make changes.
I have not read the story but what ever it is, the NFL has a zero tolerance policy and they can't just break it now or it starts an avalanche
Agreed. It sounds like a pretty heart-warming story (fertility drugs to have another child while his cancer-fighting mother is still around), but he should have found another drug, or sought an exception BEFORE taking them.
18 Sb2bowl said at 8:33 AM on May 17th, 2014:
Clomid "could" be taken as a fertility drug for males, but it's much more common use is to block the body from producing extra estrogen which is produced to keep up with the extra testosterone the body has in it……
Yup…this exception would open pamdoras box of grey area…rather not go down that rabbit hole…

I'm not buying Mathis's story here, and if you browse through the comments on that story (I know, always an adventure!) you'll see that most people aren't buying it either. Apparently he's a repeat offender, and he's an older player that all of a sudden had a huge uptick in production.
In general I don't side with the players on these issues. He was in the league for the whole Star Caps debacle, he knows how serious the league is about it banned substances. It is his responsibility, even if his story IS true.
Btw, that was my first comment on your site, but I've been reading and appreciating your work for at least five years now Tommy. I wish the H2H shows were more regular though.
22 ICDogg said at 11:20 PM on May 16th, 2014:
Yeah, sounds fishy to me too.
Thanks for commenting, Dave.
Jimmy and I want the shows to be more regular.

Tommy, start taking your own PED (that is, PBR) it that's what it takes to.do more H2H. We can look the other way.
25 D3FB said at 11:47 PM on May 16th, 2014:
Apparently though Mathis's mother has cancer and so they wanted to give her another grandchild. This also isn't a new thing. From what I saw on twitter, Mathis's sons' were conceived via in vitro fertilization, but his wife has since suffered from medical issues that make that no longer possible.
It's also different from the Star Caps debacle because it wasn't him taking an over the counter weight loss pill. He was using it for a specific medical purpose and his fertility Dr. signed affidavits attesting to that. I'm willing to bet a medical professional, who isn't in sports medicine isn't going to risk perjury charges over this.
The point wasn't to compare this situation to Star Caps, but to illustrate that a veteran who has been around as long as Mathis has should know how serious the league is about this type of thing and checked into the drug and/or sought an exemption (before instead of after failing a test).
This is all assuming that the story is true. Like I said, from what I read he is a repeat offender in the substance abuse program. Please correct me if I am wrong about that.
27 D3FB said at 12:10 AM on May 17th, 2014:
I mean he knows he messed up but at the same time I can't fault the guy. He asked the prescribing physician who told him no. He then decided that quite frankly it wasn't the league's offices business, it's a pretty personal matter and while I understand the NFL is a different beast, I don't know that I would feel comfortable reporting something like that to an employer.
He couldn't be a repeat offender. First time offenders get 4 games. Second time offenders get 8.

28 Anders said at 7:49 AM on May 17th, 2014:
"I don't know that I would feel comfortable reporting something like that to an employer."
A normal employer do not suspend you for taking a fertility drug, the NFL does.
If I was an NFL or college player, I would never take anything unless I had asked first.
29 D3FB said at 2:48 PM on May 17th, 2014:
See I guess this is where my feelings stem from. Having been a college football player and subject to drug testing, I don't have warm fuzzy feelings towards it. The NCAA's list of banned substances is incredibly long, and to be honest most of the stuff at GNC has something in it that will make you pop positive. In other words all of D3 football would probably fail a drug test if they did them during the offseason lifting program and not in November during the playoffs.
30 Iskar36 said at 8:11 AM on May 17th, 2014:
I just don't think the rules here are laid out in a vague way by the NFL. The rules are very clear and to me, the best case scenario is that Mathis was negligent in taking a banned substance, but that still should have the consequence of a 4 game suspension. At worst though , Mathis knowingly took a banned substance as is using the guise of needing it for fertility purposes in order to gain PR points. While Id love to believe the first is true, by not discussing it with the NFL and getting permission beforehand to use it, Mathis still deserves to be suspended. The PED policy can't be turned into, "You are suspended for four games for taking any banned substances… Unless you can come up with a good excuse why you were taking them." That would just incentivize players to develop good back stories for their PED use rather than limit the use altogether.
31 ICDogg said at 12:37 AM on May 17th, 2014:
Plenty of crooked doctors out there… I wouldn't make that bet if I were you.
I'm also working from the perspective that I think he genuinely was doing this for medical purposes. Taking that into account, I feel confident a multi millionaire wasn't going to doctor feelgood for something he would consider to be important.
33 gherbox said at 3:05 AM on May 17th, 2014:
Whether he knew it or not he was in the wrong according to the employer he works for. I know if I claim ignorance for a violation at the workplace I will be figuratively laughed at.
His argument has zero relevance to the issue. Just trying to gain sympathy.

36 Maggie said at 1:11 AM on May 17th, 2014:
Surely if this was the case, it would be his wife taking the drugs. Unless he has a very low sperm count and there are ways to deal with that issue, besides some artificial testosterone supplement. AND if his sperm count is the problem why wasn't it noted with the previous children?
37 D3FB said at 1:14 AM on May 17th, 2014:
His wife had a medical condition preventing her from taking them.
http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2014/05/16/indianapolis-colts-robert-mathis-suspended-performance-enhancing-drugs/9187069/
Thanks for the reference. Mathis' story could very well be true, except… he took "briefly" in January and his wife became pregnant immediately? Very fortunate, It usually takes several months, at least. Especially with a wife with a medical condition. Also, the previous children were born since he has been in the league. And, finally, if she took the fertility drugs before, why would he have to take them now? Does she have a problem with ovulation AND he have a low sperm count? Just all a bit odd.
All the details aren't totally clear but apparently the first two kids were via in vitro, according to some of the indy beat writers, but it wasn't viable this time, for some reason.
"The drug for which Mr. Mathis tested positive is not approved by the FDA for fertility in males and is a performance-enhancing drug that has been prohibited for years. "
This part from the PFT article is pretty bad for Mathis, if its not even a fertility drug for men
Irrelevant. Know the rules or ask before taking it.
42 GEAGLE said at 12:36 PM on May 17th, 2014:
Literally took me 3 seconds to google and find out it's a banned substance… No excuse
Go thru the proper chanels, get it approved by the league, and then this wouldn't be an issue…we don't need grey area emerging in the PED system…get an exception beforehand, or shut up and take the suspension…does the fact that he has to sit out when he plays the birds factor into my opinion? Probably lol, but so what? This is an eagles blog..F the colts!
By the way, I see where Michael Sam's OWN show was called off, so while it is now accepted in the NFL to be gay, being a reality TV star is just unacceptable.
Unless you're on Hard Knocks and the league can monetize your story themselves.
46 SteveH said at 1:44 AM on May 17th, 2014:
Only the dysfunctional franchises really want to be involved in that mess though. I think most well run organizations don't want any of the extra baggage that comes with something like that, and I can see why the Rams would like Sam to be totally focused on football.
Oh I wholeheartedly agree, the extra attention would have been a negative both to Sam and the team. I just find it highly hypocritical for people in league circles to say "he's a seventh round prospect fighting for his life, and doesn't need the distraction" and then turn around and make 80% of Hard Knocks about those exact kinds of players.
True…but the NFL built it's way up to this status..wanna make money off the NFL, then pay the licensing fees..it's Not like oprahs pockets arent deep enough to pay the licensing
They have made it so that if you miss the play offs for 2 or 3 straight seasons, you can be mandated by the NFL to be on.
Think I saw something that indicated the Rams were not happy about a rookie being distracted by such crap. Same with Cleveland restricting media access to their players right now.
I'm tired of him already. Doubt he makes the rams, with that DL..be lucky to latch on with another team.. First he wanted to be known as just a football player, then he had ESPN cameras in his home, kissing his boyfriend when he got drafted(fine by me, but don't show it to the world and then talk about how you just want to be known for football)..then this 7th round LONGSHOT sets up a documentary with friggin opera? Lucky you canceled it, because that documentary wouldn't look so great when the rams inevitably cut him..
He knows it's just NOT about football with him, so either you don't instigate the gay player side of it, or you stop acting like it's just about football, because 7th round picks who will probably get cut, don't have documentaries…and it's SOOO not fair to the Rams. If they deem him not good enough and want to cut him, they will have a legion of people on their ass questioning why he was cut…glad he canceled that joke of an opera side show..put your head down, and go fight to make a roster..make a roster, and then you can start with the extra ish
52 A_T_G said at 9:20 AM on May 17th, 2014:
I don't have strong feelings, since I don't watch TV outside of football season, but for the sake of debate, consider how nice it would be today to have footage from a crew that followed Jackie Robinson around during his ground breaking days.
Sam isn't as good, and might not make it to his first regular season with a team. Perhaps he realizes this and is trying to use his opportunity to raise awareness?
53 GEAGLE said at 10:48 AM on May 17th, 2014:
If he was Clowney, comfortable that he will have a job still in 3 months, by all means use your platform to raise awareness, make movies, music videos, do whatever the hell you want….Sam just doesn't have the talent to worry about anything besides fighting for his NFL life right now…he will look bad compared to the rest of the Rams DL, and he has very little experience on ST…if I'm Micheal Sam and my dREAM is hanging in the balance, I'm moving into the special teams coaches guest room, and I'm not thinking about anything and anyone but improving enough on special teams to hang on to my dream…
Jackie was amazing, sure it would have been awesome to document that, but he could afford to worry about other people…Sam is no good to the gay community, if this all disappears in 3 months and he is just a Cliff note in a history book…and with this type of spotlight, it's not fair to the rams..if they cut him, because he isn't one of the best 53 players, and the gay community starts screaming bloody murder, than they aren't furthering their cause,..they will get the TEBOW scarlet letter where teams just won't want to deal with the insane amount of outside crap, for a replaceable talent, making it harder for the next gay player trying to fullfill his dream, instead of helping the cause of equality which is supposed to be the point.. You aren't equal if a team can't cut you because they are worried about the backlash from Christian fans, or gay community, the national organization of aliens or whatever group trying to become more accepted in the NFL… You have to be worth the headache….and I don't see the talent, with the DL talent the rams have to be worth the headache, so how could making more noise with a documentary be a good idea for him? Wanna have an NFL career or make the most of your 15 minutes of fame?…..

54 A_T_G said at 11:32 AM on May 17th, 2014:
That's fair, I see where you are coming from. I just wonder if he is thinking that he might only get 15 minutes as a pro football player but he is going to be gay the rest of his life and he doesn't want to live the rest of his life wondering what he could have accomplished if he pulled back the curtain on the challenges he faces.
I think you are minimizing what Robinson faced. Despite being far more talented, his odds were slimmer than Sam's. I am not aware of Sam getting any death threats or the Rams facing hatred and ostrification from a large segment of society.
True..I'm 32yrs old, and never enjoyed baseball so I'm probably not qualified to offer any opinion worth a damn on the subject so you are probably right…..
I think Sam has pulled back the curtain enough..if I were him, I'd leave the crusade alone for the next 3 months and just focus on Sam fighting to live out his dream. If he gets cut, there will be tons of spotlight available for him to try and help further the cause for future gay players, but if I'm him and given the shot of a lifetime at my dream life, I'd probably take a timeout from crusading and just focus on camp…whether he make the team or not, the spotlight will still be there and he can do what he wants with those last 15minutes of fame he gets…but he probably can do more for the cause if he actually makes the roster…I mean, I don't even get what a documentary can film…what would you get out of following Jordan Mathews around right now if you can't film him at Novacare? Kid probably gets there at 7am, leaves at 8pm, goes home, watches more film, and gets his sleep…and if Sam is committed than his life right now probably won't be much more exciting than Jordan Mathews who is a 2nd round pick and already projected to start… If Sam is doing everything in his power to make the Rams, than there is nothing to even film right now..
All very true. Hopefully someone close to him is giving him the same advice. I was just trying to put myself in the shoes of someone who faces constant reminders of the fact that he doesn't fit the culture he desperately wants to remain a part of. It would be hard to be as rational as your advice.
He is fortunate that even when he is cut, it will come with another 15 minutes of fame, where as most players get cut and aren't heard from again. I like the kid, and I'm rooting for him..just thought he was getting some bad advice, and if you saw his agent go on ESPN and lie about the NFL being OK with this prior to the draft, it just didn't sit right with me..think too much is being put on him as this crusader, and he should take two months and be selfish for his own dream, especially since making this rams roster with horrible odds staked against him is probably the most he could ever do for the cause, bigger than any documentary or interview..
In the early 1980s I was in a rock band traveling around playing nightclubs in different towns (I was the keyboard player) and we had a black bass player and drummer. In most places, the metro areas, the shore towns, this was never an issue, after all this was way after the 60s and a lot of changes had already been made, and especially in music there was nothing remarkable about this at the time.
However, there were a couple of small towns that we stopped in and played where we had to get out of town quickly because of threats to the black guys in the band. And I mean middle-of-the-night quickly.
I can't help but think that there are similarly backward places that would be dangerous for an openly gay football player.
Was Eugene S Robinson the black guy in your metal band? Love that maniac. Smart cat
Our drummer's last name was, in fact, Robinson, but that's just a coincidence.
61 Dominik said at 1:26 PM on May 17th, 2014:
His chances aren't that bad, actually. The first three DE spots are set, but his competition for the 4th DE spot is not really that talented. But Sam isn't, either, and you are right, he has to fight for his football life.
I'm rooting for the kid. Really am. But if he happens to be the 5th or 6th best DE on the Rams roster after TC, he will get cut and rightfully so.
I don't find the suspension of Mathis controversial what-so-ever. Relatively speaking, the NFL has a very relaxed PED policy. The drug Mathis is ADMITTING to taking is on the list of drugs that are not approved and he got caught. He also ADMITTED to not getting anything preapproved with doctors or the NFL. The NFL caught him and did exactly what they should have done by suspending him for four games. The fact that he asked Goodell to lift his suspension is silly in my opinion. Doing that would completely undermine the entire PED policy and destroy the NFL's credibility when it comes to PEDs. And finally, beyond simply the textbook violation of the PED policy by Mathis, what is to prevent players from using similar excuses as Mathis (or Mathis doing this himself) to justify using a banned substance? For all we know, Mathis is simply trying to gain PR points by claiming he was taking it for fertility reasons when the truth is he was in fact taking those drugs for PED reasons.
Agree and Mathis could easily have gotten a permission if he got a written document from the fertility doctor.
I bet even had he requested permission before taking the drugs that permission would have been denied. Otherwise, there will suddenly develop a cottage industry of amoral doctors writing prescriptions for players.
Regardless, getting caught and then telling a heart-warming story about why he took the banned drug which is, from what I have read, not approved for male fertility but is well known as used to correct hormone balance at the end of a steroid cycle, gets him little sympathy.
As I see it, either (1) he is being honest and knew the risk, (2) he is being honest and was ignorant of the rule he was breaking, or (3) he is being dishonest.
The third option makes him a pretty slimy jerk. The first two make you feel for the guy, but either he needs to be more aware of what is going into his body or he has already accepted this possibility. None of the three should change the outcome.

#mathproblems
Good catch. I meant 31 non-Philadelphia teams.
I want Justin Blacmon on the eagles..might post this every single day til he is cut 🙂
I don't think I have ever enjoyed a worthLES Bowan article, but he has a good one up on philly.com about the Watkins brothers,, with Jordan Mathews talking about jaylen…"the thing about Jaylen is he is very versatile. The thing I remember is I felt like I could never get away from him. I would line up outside, and there he was staring me in the face, I would go line up inside and he would come over playing one coverage over top of me"-Mathews… Then joked how he feels like he can't get away from him. Feeling intensified when he encountered him at the senior bowl and then he came to the NFL, and Jaylen is "right here too".."he is going to be great man, just one of the most versatile DBs in the entire draft class"-Jordan via Les
Love how Jordan Mathews came right into Novacare and threw the gauntlet down announcing almost obsessively that he will outwork everyone.. Think that's not going to rub off on Huff? Think he is just gonna sit back and watch Jordan outwork him? Think that won't rub off on Jaylen knowing that much of how he is judged will be based on how he practices against Jordan?…..Marcus Smith has practically already been shit on by our media and fanbase..think he will just be lazy and watch the later round picks outwork him? You get the right type of character in your locker room and it can have an infectious positive effect on your team…..think Jordan's insane work ethic is going to be great for this entire rookie class….
.,.
Then when the vets start taking notice, think they will be embarrassed by rookies out working them..
Jordan will prove to be a brilliant pick.. Fans say he is big, but i feel like they aren't completely excited because he isn't the 6'5 type…Jordan Mathews is the same size as Alshon Jeffries/Brandon Marshall… What a pick, he will prove to be, valuable on and off the field
73 Ark87 said at 10:06 AM on May 17th, 2014:
Hopefully, I worry about Huff possibly being a bit too comfy, like "I got more experience in the offense than anybody here, I got this in the bag"
I'm sure Chip will straighten him out (along with DB's the likes of Boykin).
I know exactly the quotes that made you get that impression of huff and I'm sure Chip will out the Kabosh on further quotes like that. Don't think he meant the way it came off….Huff and Jordan are very close since arriving to philly. They are but buddies on twitter looking inseparable since arriving…it's also not a secret that they are in direct competition with each other for snaps in the slot…huff can be as comfy as he wants today, but when your direct completion is saying I want to out work you, I want to eat better than you, stretch better then you, and huff looks over and sees the way Jordan works, I'm sure he won't be so comfy…especially since no one knows better than Huff that in this offense, Sproles and Ertz will already be seeing some of those slot snaps, so can he afford to have Jordan Mathews outclass him?
Yeah Jordan is just a freak of a draft pick..never seen anything like him, coming in already with that insane T.O type of drive for excellence. Say what you want about T.O but he was a workaholic on his craft. It's so damn impressive,,
I like that Marcus smith and Jordan were praying to go to the same team. Iike knowing our first round pick is so close to Mathews..

At 1st thought after cutting benn, id like them to sign/claim greg little. Has worked with shurmer before, has the size and athletic ability. can line up around the formation, even in the backfield as a RB. He played Rb at NC and wasnt bad.
But of course how smart is he? He drops passes and he had a DUI, so his character will prolly keep the eagles away.

From the urban fabric of Naples to a Korean window, from desert dunes to a voronoi, from the volute of a capital to the style of the Viennese secession, from the mashrabiyya to the labyrinth of the cathedral of Chartres: these are some of the references of the authors of the realized Patterns from VAHA, Rossella Siani's project.
"Pattern Your Life" is a competition that is gathering the creativity of numerous designers, called to create a pattern inspired by the architectural lexicon of many traditions and produce objects with digital manufacturing technologies - 3D printer, laser cutter, milling cutter.
The competition is part of a process of research and dissemination on digital manufacturing technologies and algorithmic design promoted by the VAHA project, a digital archive of examples useful for those who want to undertake a journey of learning and experimentation on these issues.
All projects have a dimension of 12x12 cm, small squares juxtaposed to one another to form an unexpected final composition. Each square is a work, but the set of squares is itself a work. Technology, architecture or art? What are they as a whole? An open work in progress? A collective project?
BACAS will host the exhibition from July 6 to the 16, and the award ceremony on July 7, in the space of the Castello Macchiaroli in Teggiano (SA) where VAHA will be in-residence and also conduct 3D printing demonstrations.
The competition is still open, the announcement and the news are available on the website www.vaha.it.

Rep. Schock backs proposal to end tax on Olympic medals
Aug 4, 2012 at 12:01 AM Aug 4, 2012 at 3:00 AM
When 16-year-old Gabby Douglas won the gold medal for all-around gymnastics Thursday night, she not only won a prestigious prize but also a bit of a tax burden.
U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Peoria, wants to change that, and he has a strong backer in his efforts - Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.
But proposed legislation Schock is sponsoring in the House requesting tax relief on Olympic winnings by athletes represents another distraction by Congress from addressing more pertinent legislative matters, critics said Friday.
Those critics, namely law professors and attorneys, say the proposal is about generating "a little glory and feel good" from the Olympics.
"The Olympics have been going on for over 100 years," said Richard Kaplan, a professor of law at the University of Illinois in Champaign who specializes in tax policy. "If we thought this was worthwhile, why did they or prior Congresses not do anything about it?"
The proposal would exempt U.S. Olympic medal winners from paying federal taxes on the medals and cash bonuses they win in London. Olympic medalists receive cash bonuses of $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze, paid by the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Schock is the main sponsor of the proposed legislation in the House; a companion bill is sponsored in the Senate by U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a potential Romney running mate.
"Our tax code is a complicated and burdensome mess that too often punishes success, and the tax imposed on Olympic medal winners is a classic example of this madness," Rubio said in a news release.
Rubio and Schock both believe Olympic winners are being "punished" for their achievements.
"This is a classic example of how complicated and costly our tax code has become and why tax reform is badly needed," Schock said.
But the legal experts believe amending the 1987 federal tax law only adds more complications.
"You complain how complicated the tax code is, then it seems to me you shouldn't pollute it with more special exemptions," Kaplan said.
His comments were echoed in Thursday's Chicago Tribune by an attorney who chairs a sports law service firm, who said the legislation would add another loophole to an already complicated tax code.
William Drennen, associate professor of law at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, said he was "sort of surprised" to see the legislation introduced, saying similar pushes to avoid taxing trophies have been considered before.
He cited a 1969 tax case in California that required retired baseball star Maury Wills to report as income the value of the Hickok Belt award he won in 1962. That award once went to the best professional athlete in sports.
Drennen said a better way to reduce or essentially eliminate the tax burden could be through reporting deductions.
"If you're the best swimmer or something, once you get the cash (award), you ought to take deductions on the amount you pay for personal trainers and equipment and that sort of thing," he added. "I'm not sure we really need a rule to exempt the cash prize. I think people will figure out a way to take away some expenses related to it."
Frank McCabe, the city of Peoria's liquor commission chairman and a gold medalist from the 1952 U.S. basketball team, said he never got a bonus for winning and agrees that the bonuses should be taxed. However, he said the actual medal should be exempt.
"The medal, to me, is a token and a symbol," McCabe said. "Should you be taxed for a trophy? I don't think so."

This study proposes to conduct follow-up assessments at ages 14 and 17 of a group of 110 children who have been participating in a longitudinal study of personality and cognitive development since they were preschoolers. Previously, the children were extensively and individually assessed at ages 3, 4, 5, 7, and 11 with reguard to ego-functioning (ego-control and ego-resiliency), cognitive differentiation, affective differentiation, intellectual level, cognitive styles, creativity, moral reasoning and behavior, and social-emotional development. The parents will participate again in data collection, describing their child-rearing emphases, interacting with their children in standardized situations, and providing descriptions of self and ego-ideal. Data obtained in the current assessments will be related to data obtained earlier so that the continuity-discontinuity characterizing developmental trends in particular areas of psychological functioning may be assessed from early childhood to late adolescence. Indices of ego-control and ego-resiliency derived in early childhood will be related to adolescent behaviors and to the quality of psychological functioning in adolescence. Parental values, personality, and communication styles will be related to psychological characteristics and functioning of the adolescent. Changes in parental socialization practices and perceptions of their child will be evaluated as a function of the changing developmental status of the child and related to measures of adolescent functioning. The specific test situations included in the comprehensive assessment battery at each age have been scaled with respect to several contextual dimensions to permit analyses relating specific personality characteristics of the adolescents to their responses in specific types of situations.

Old woman in Tesco reduced section will drop you for 10p pack of sausage rolls
AN 79-YEAR-OLD in Tesco's reduced section will end you if you get between her and a 10p pack of sausage rolls, she has confirmed.
Pensioner and food hoarder Mary Fisher considers the reduced section to be her territory and is more than happy to take down anyone who disagrees.
She said: "I don't believe in out-of-date food and I don't believe anything should cost more than ten bob and those beliefs meet here.
"So if you think you're going to pick up that 24-pack of chicken dippers for 46p while I'm around, I'd advise you to think about how much you'd miss your front teeth.
"Single mums, refugees, don't care. It is mine."
Shelf-stacker Helen Archer said: "Technically, she shouldn't be allowed to empty the entire section into her trolley every single night.
"But she's an 79-year-old woman. She knows she's not going to prison even if she hits you with a sock full of coins."
Last adult onesie destroyed in controlled explosion
THE last remaining all-in-one adult garment in the UK has been blown to smithereens in front of a cheering crowd.
Demolition experts were called in to deal with the former fashion item, using dynamite and shaped charges to safely destroy it without endangering an applauding audience wearing age-appropriate clothing.
Safety manager Roy Hobbs said: "Normally we deal with ugly, unwanted buildings that everyone's decided should be erased as if they never existed, so we were the natural choice for this.
"And I have to say it's a real honour to destroy this fleecy monstrosity which is a potent symbol of everything that was wrong with us back in 2012.
"It's a powerful act, showing the world that we've turned our back on a shameful time when it was acceptable for a grown adult to wear a giant all-in-one like a crapping baby."
He added: "Was there anyone in it when we blew it up? I don't know. Does it matter?"

Q: How can I segregate user data in firebase? I'm creating an app that has uses a firebase Cloud Firestore database.  The structure seems to be collection/document/fields.  I am thinking of either using the user id as the prefix to the collection name or simply a field for userId.
I'm currently using:
Firestore.firestore().collection("Events").

This could be changed to prefix event with the userId
I am currently reading everything in using:
reference(to: "Events").addSnapshotListener{ (snapshot, _) in
    guard let snapshot = snapshot else {return}
    for document in snapshot.documents {
        // code here
    }
}

A: It's not a really good idea to use prefixes on collection names.  That doesn't work well with security rules.
The usual structure for per-user data is to have a collection with documents whose IDs are the user IDs.  Then, you can further organize other data in subcollections under that document ID.
/users
  /uid1
  /uid2
    /events
    /likes
    /history

Then, you can write security rules using the user's UID very easily.

My sister, except for a brief period of time, has been vegetarian her whole life. When I took over Thanksgiving duties from my mother — something that made both of us happy — I made it a point to include a main dish that worked with my sister's dietary restriction. That dish was a riff on spanakopita, a phyllo dough-wrapped spinach dish. I made mine as a casserole, featuring rice.
What I didn't know at the time was that I was feeding my sister — and me — something that was making us very sick. We are both now gluten free and much healthier for it!
But I do miss that dish. It was a perfect vegetarian (though not vegan) main course, packed with flavor and nutrition. I've finally taken the time to recreate the dish, this time using thinly sliced potatoes in place of phyllo. As with that long-ago dish, this one was a hit (and gone the next day!).
I've never been a huge fan of tomatoes, though I am trying (and finding them to be less, well, icky than I tell myself). But when I tried an Israeli shakshuka — a dish traditionally made with tomatoes and peppers — in a restaurant, I fell in love. It's a breakfast dish, but I'd eat it any time of day or night.
One evening, I was playing with tomatillos and greens, considering a chile verde type dish. I didn't have a plan, and I didn't have any pork handy. I did have eggs, and it made sense to add the eggs to the dish. Voila! Later, I poked around the Internet for ideas to improve this dish; weirdly, what I found came out as a cross between one of my favorite ways to prepare greens and this final dish. The real difference is the tomatillo, which adds a lot of tanginess to the dish (and makes it a bit juicier than the greens alone).
Serve this to vegetarians and they will think you're a genius. Serve it for brunch. For dinner. Take leftovers for lunch. You will thank yourself. I promise.
Since we started on the carb-cutting journey, my body has adjusted to a lower volume of foods I used to devour. I am happy to say that the increase in fruits and vegetables — particularly leafy greens — in my diet has really helped my diet get back on track, and I feel satisfied after every meal.
Meatballs are one of the world's great comfort foods. And they're one of the world's most versatile foods. You can work with any type of ground meat, beans, or grains. Add seasonings to suit your mood. Bake, grill, pan roast, or simmer in a sauce. Eat.

Flights at Jharsuguda to resume on March 31
Bhubaneswar, Feb 9 : Commercial flight services at the Veer Surendra Sai Airport in Jharsuguda, Odisha, is likely to resume on March 31, airport director S.K. Chauhan said on Saturday. Low-cost carrier SpiceJet will start operations from the airport to Delhi, Kolkata and Hyderabad.
"As per the tentative schedule, SpiceJet has planned to start flights from the airport in the summer schedule, beginning March 31. The private airlines has decided to launch its flights to New Delhi, Kolkata and Hyderabad," said Chauhan.
A team of the SpiceJet officials on Saturday inspected security and infrastructure facilities at the airport.
The airport, Odisha's second, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 22, 2018. But operations stopped at the airport after scheduled commuter carrier Air Odisha suspended its services on October 6 citing technical reasons.
Later, the Ministry of Civil Aviation cancelled Air Odisha's licence in November 2018 citing poor performance.
Now the airport will be connected to Bhubaneswar, Kolkata, Mumbai, Raipur, Hyderabad and Delhi under the 'Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik' (UDAN-3) scheme.

Daesh threatens attacks in Saudi Arabia
Important News World
10:58 PM, 9 Jun, 2017
Dubai, UAE (Reuters): Islamic State (IS) threatened attacks in Saudi Arabia after the terrorist group claimed responsibility for assaults in Tehran that killed over 17 people, Site Intelligence monitoring group reported.
Some assailants including suicide bombers and gunmen attacked the Iranian parliament and Ayatollah Khomeini's mausoleum in Tehran on Wednesday, killing and injuring scores of people.
IS claimed responsibility and threatened more attacks against Iran's majority Shia population, seen by the hardline Sunni militants as heretics.
In a video that appeared to have been recorded before the attack on Tehran, five masked IS terrorists were shown threatening Shia in Iran as well as the Saudi Arabian government saying their turn "will come".
"Allah permitting, this brigade will be the first of jihad in Iran, and we ask our brothers the Muslims to follow us, as the fire that was ignited will not be put out, Allah permitting," one of the masked terrorist said, according to SITE.
At the end of the video, he sent a message to the Saudi government.
"Know that after Iran, your turn will come. By Allah, we will strike you in your own homes… We are the agents of nobody. We obey Allah and His Messenger, and we are fighting for the sake of this religion, not for the sake of Iran or the Arabian Peninsula."
IS, which controls territory in Syria and Iraq, had carried on attacks on Saudi security forces as well as deadly bombings and shootings that target the kingdom's Shia in the past.
Iranian authorities said five of the attackers were Iranian nationals recruited by IS, while Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards Corps blamed the assault on regional rival Saudi Arabia and has threatened revenge. Sunni Saudi Arabia denied any involvement in the attacks.
Tensions have been high in the Middle East since Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain severed diplomatic and transport ties with Qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorism. Doha denies the accusation.
On Friday, the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia issued a security notice to U.S. citizens recommending that they "exercise caution in places frequented by foreigners due to the continuing risk of terrorist attacks… across the Kingdom."

Los Angeles Apartment Market Saw Significant Improvements in the Third Quarter
Vacancy Now Below Pre-Pandemic Levels and Near-Term Outlook Is Favorable
By Ryan Patap CoStar Analytics
October 5, 2021 | 12:48 P.M.
The Los Angeles apartment market saw marked improvements during the third quarter after seeing the worst conditions in over a decade last year. Vacancies have been trending down since peaking at the end of 2020. Asking rents are above pre-pandemic levels, but the market has lagged the national average's pace of gains since the onset of the pandemic.
Rent growth in the suburban and more affordable areas of L.A. County has fared better during the pandemic, and many of these locations continue to outperform the market. However, in recent months, several key areas of greater Los Angeles that lagged the overall market through much of the pandemic have seen rent growth accelerate and are now top performers.
Recent apartment demand has improved across the market, with net absorption — measuring the difference between move-ins versus move-outs — at its highest levels in decades. Even expensive and overbuilt areas that fared worse earlier in the pandemic, like downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica, California, have seen considerable improvements in occupancy rates during the past several quarters.
Los Angeles has seen elevated construction levels for years and still has a sizable pipeline that needs to be absorbed in the coming quarters. Those areas with the most units underway are largely locations that have been development hotspots for years.
Property sales volume in the third quarter totaled $2.6 billion, demonstrating that investors are active in the apartment market. Average pricing per unit, which had flatlined during 2020, has been on the rise this year.

[Smartphones] | The Razer Phone | A phone for gamers!
A gamer's phone!?
You've heard the news right? Razer made a smartphone! The company was known for awesome gaming machines and other accessories, but they recently acquired a phone company called Nextbit, and probably decided to give it a shot.
So how is Razer's first ever smartphone? It's dope! Why else would I be bothered with it? Let's take a closer look at this thing.
NextBit Robin's brother!
The phone largely follows the same design language from the Nextbit Robin. The same boxy, xperia-ish design with circular cut outs for the front camera and sensors remind me of the same phone. Even the fingerprint sensor in the power button is the same as the Robin.
This phone, as Razer says, is not exactly a gaming phone. It's more of a phone made for gamers. That must include emphasis on display, battery longevity and sound right? Yeah, they've royally nailed them all!
The BEST speakers ever!
Let's start with those incredibly front facing speakers. Razer says each speaker had it's own independent amp for a volume boost, and it shows! These are by far THE BEST speakers on any smartphone out there! There isn't too much distortion, even at that deafening max volume.
The display on the Razer phone is a 5.7 inch QHD IGZO panel, manufactured by Sharp. It's the same display as you would find on a Razer blade laptop. And yes, it features a jaw dropping 120 Hz refresh rate. Razer is calling it UltraMotion™ technology.
It doesn't sound cool unless you have a classy trademark name for it. It still sounds miles better than Apple's name for it on the iPad pro 10.5 (ProMotion, lol).
The animations are incredibly fluid and spot on. There literally is zero delay between your finger and the elements on the touchscreen. Even the pixel seems slow in comparison to this monster. I'm absolutely loving it.
Well done Razer on bringing the first ever smartphone to support a display with refresh rates up to 120 Hz.
That's right, I said "up to". It is smart enough to automatically lower it's frame rates when you have it lying on a single page without interaction, it while watching a low frame rate video. It's set to 90 Hz out of the box to go easy on the battery, but I suggest you immediately crank it up to 120 Hz.
Speaking of battery, the Razer phone is packing it! It has a massive 4000 mAh unit along with Qualcomm quick charge 4.0! That's another first for a smartphone, I believe. Correct me if I'm (somehow) wrong, in the comments.
The cameras on this phone are pretty good too. The rear camera is a iPhone like set up, with a 12 mp standard sensor with f/1.7 aperture, and another 12 mp telephoto sensor.
They don't give any fancy background blur modes here, but they plan to give you lossless zoom whole pinching in and out, as usual.
Decent cameras
The 8 mp front camera can also produce crisp looking pictures with satisfactory quality. It doesn't take much to satisfy me from a selfie perspective, but that is obviously subjective.
Just know that this isn't a camera other phone. It will get the job done well enough, but will not be able to take punches from the likes of the Pixel 2 or the S8.
There are a few minor things which I don't like about this monster. It does not have a headphone jack, which needless to say, sucks.
There does not seem to be any water resistance on board and the display does not get bright enough for a "flagship".
This crazy refresh rate would look incredible on an OLED, but apparently it is not possible to implement it yet. Maybe the Razer phone 2 will fix this stuff. I don't think the headphone jack will be back though.
Slightly cheap feeling volume buttons.
It doesn't matter what anyone says or how good wireless solutions turn out to be. Not having a headphone jack is the mother of all annoyances, end of argument. Razer said they could put it in because of the insane speaker drivers.
I guess it can be a justifiable trade off to someone who doesn't mind playing on those loud speakers. I don't like gaming on speakers, and don't like dongles either. I guess that puts me in the minority list.
Literally my ringer volume!
Spec wise, it is running on the Snapdragon 835 with 8 gigs of RAM. Razer has implemented some cooling techniques using the metal frame of the phone itself. They say it's the coolest phone to be rocking an SD835.
There's just 64 GB on board surface, such night seem a little less compared to the likes of OnePlus 5.
But there's micro SD extension up to another 256 GB. Gamers will know their way around high capacity SD cards anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem to many.
My new favorite!
All things considered, Razer has made an awesome phone. Not just for gamers, but for anyone who wants an incredible experience out of their premium smartphone purchase. That premium is $699 as of now. Seems pretty justifiable to me.
What do you think about the new Razer phone? Drop me a comment or hit me up on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Subscribe to my blog of you like to see more of this, and thanks for sticking around till this line.

65th inf.regiment the Borinqueer regiment whose were the last infantry UNIT whose participated in the last bayonet fight during the Korean war as register so far in the war books history.
A couple of weeks ago I spent the weekend exploring the Meuse-Argonne Forest and Verdun.
I started my Argonne exploration seeing the battle of Vauqois. This small village on top of a a massive hill that overlooked all of the Verdun and beyond became a massive struggle for occupation between the Germans and French. For months they would continuously charge at the bayonet to claim just feet of ground. Eventually, it came to it that the only way to take the area was underground. Beneath the hills both Germans and French dug tunnels to set explosives to blow each other off the ground. Today, you are able to walk this battlefield and even get tours into the German Tunnels; the French tunnels being closed to the public due to collapses.
My next stop would be to the Kaiser Bunkers. Here (if you have played Battlefield 1) is where the Kaisers son would take up post to over watch the battle of Verdun. In 1918, the AEF would fight a bloody battle to take these bunkers and push towards the town of Varness-Argonne.
Next, I would travel to the site of the Lost Battalion. Let me tell you, Hollywood does no justice to where they actually fought. The site of where the Battalion fended off the defending Germans is a steep, narrow side of the mountain where you would think it impossible to dig small trenches and holes to hide from incoming enemy (and friendly) artillery. God bless those men.
I visited the site of the Battle of Montfaucon. Here would be another struggle for a small village overlooking the Argonne forest. The battle obliterated the village which stood for centuries before. What's left of the site is a ruined church where, in the picture below, you can see a pill box that was constructed by the Germans out of the church ruble to fend of the Americans.
Lastly, I visited the largest U.S. Cemetery in Europe: The Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery. Containing 14,276 Marines, Soldiers, and Sailors who lost their lives in the 1918 fighting.
The next day I did an extensive exploration of the Battle of Verdun.
Starting out with Fort Vaux you enter on a self guided tour through these dark, gloomy and damp halls where the men fought a bloody and gruesome fight. With gas and flamethrowers pouring into the halls to kill the men inside.
There is so much to see on these hills overlooking Verdun, I feel you need more than a day to explore it all. We all know the Forts of Douaumont and Vaux but there is so many more around the area to visit and explore. If you have the guts to do it, and a flashlight, you can walk into the woods and find different forts with entrances wide open still and explore. I Do reccomend watching for those 20 meter drops though. The staff will recommend you to not enter these dwellings but it is free of will to do so.
I also highly recommend to study the trench lines and fighting beneath the forts for you treasure hunters. Walking down the south-eastern side of Fort Douaumont you will find a lot of shell casings, mortar rounds, and plenty of other things. BE ADVISED: There are still some contaminated spots and hundreds of thousands of pounds of unexploded ordinance. If you do not know what it is DO NOT TOUCH IT. That's my best recommendation!
Anyways folks, I hope I did not bore you too much with my rambling on and hope you found the photos fascinating! Below are more that i took of both the Meuse-Argonne and Verdun.
