Obamacare is the commonly used name for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which was signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. Obamacare is the biggest change to health insurance since Medicare and Medicaid was established in 1965. Here's a brief summary of some of the major provisions of Obamacare.
Quick and Easy Summary of Obamacare.
Starting in January 2014 individuals and families will be able to buy health insurance on their own without being declined or rated up for pre-existing medical conditions. There is also an individual mandate that requires everyone to have health insurance or pay a tax penalty. For individuals and families with low to middle income there will be premium subsidies available.
Web based state exchanges will be set up where you can buy health insurance and, if your income qualifies, receive premium subsidies. The state exchange in California is called Covered California. To take advantage of a premium subsidy you must buy your health insurance through the exchange. If you do not qualify for a subsidy you can buy your health insurance on or off the exchange. There will be more plans to choose from so buying on the exchange will make the most sense for people that qualify for subsidies. Regardless of where you buy your insurance we can assist you at no additional cost to you.
The initial open enrollment period to sign up for Obamacare is October 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014 and the earliest effective date is January 1, 2014. Due to the individual mandate the tax penalty in 2014 for not signing up for health insurance will be $95 or 1% of your income, whichever is greater. The penalty for not signing up for health insurance will increase each year after 2014.
Other provisions of Obamacare include keeping dependents on their parent's health insurance policy until they turn 26. Preventive benefits like annual physicals and mammograms are free of charge. Maximum benefit limits on policies are removed and Medicaid is being expanded to cover more low income Americans.
Obamacare is a huge change for health insurance in America and there will be a lot of questions and confusion. Please feel free to use us as a resource for all your health insurance questions. You pay the same premium if you use us as your agent as you will if you go direct to Covered California or any insurance company. Why not have someone help you with the process for no additional cost to you? That includes applying for coverage and any service issues that may arise after the policy is in force. At Santa Barbara Health Insurance Solutions, we have your best interest at heart.

Honey bees are the spark plugs of agriculture, playing a vital role in pollination across Nova Scotia. According to the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture, honey bee pollination services contribute more than $40 million to agriculture annually. For numerous reasons, like changing insect populations and the weather it is not possibIe to rely on wild insects for consistent pollination. So many famrers rely partly or wholly on honey bees to pollinate their crops.
Even though Nova Scotia"s beekeeping industry is pollination-based, honey is a tasty and profitable by-product that is sold at local farmers' markets, in grocery and health food stores, and to coffee shops, restaurants and bakeries.
Each hive produces about 50 to 60 pounds of honey from May to August.


CHITWAN, August 18: Monsoon floods not only cause trouble to human settlements time and again, they are also a threat to the endangered rhinos of Chitwan National Park (CNP). During the monsoon, floodwater has caused severe injuries to the one-horned rhinos and even killed them .
The monsoon flood this time has washed away a few of the rhinos of CNP to India across the border. In one instance, a Chitwan rhino that was washed away has landed in Bagaha, India. Officials from CNP are working to bring the rhino back. Nurendra Aryal, assistant conservation officer at CNP, has been in Bagaha since Tuesday for the purpose. The rhino was washed down by the massive flooding in the Rapti and Narayani rivers last Friday.
"The Chitwan rhino was washed 42 kilometers down to Bagaha. I have been working to bring it back," said Aryal over the phone. "We are preparing to tranquilize it and transport it back to Chitwan by truck. However, we are being delayed by the poor condition of the Dauenney highway," he added.
Another rhino washed down by the flood has been roaming around the forest areas of the Balmiki Ashram in Nepal and India's Balmiki Tiger Reserve at Balmiki Nagar Bhaisalot, according to Aryal. The guards at the reserve have been looking after the security to the rhino while CNP goes about gathering more information. The rhino could not be brought back so far as it is in a waterlogged area, it is stated.
Another rhino from Nepal has also been observed in the forests of Balmi Nagar. Apart from these three animals, two other rhinos from CNP have ended up at Keuleni and Narsahi within Nepal.
"In the case of the rhino at Bagaha, it is not possible to tranquilize it and transport it back. As an alternative, we are planning to chase it through the jungles all the way back to CNP ," Aryal said. "We are assessing the situation. We are also treating the injured rhinos and safeguarding their horns," added Aryal, who is also the spokesperson for CNP.
One rhino was recently found injured in the Incharni area of Sauraha. CPN informed that a medial team has been dispatched to the area to provide treatment to the striken rhino.
CNP is the main rhino habitat in Nepal. Out of the rhino population of 645 in the country, 605 are at CNP.

Since antiquity, Love is one of core concerns for philosophers. Thanks to Plato, through his Symposium, this question has acquired its letters of nobility. Love in a general sense, can be defined as an expansion of the heart toward another human being.


Last night, Biden added to his problems by saying he agrees that life begins at conception, but he doesn't want to do anything to ensure the rights of the unborn child. The Catholic Church is opposed to animal cruelty as well, yet it is a sure bet that Biden has no problem with laws that punish dog fighting. Maybe if he began to think of little Joe in his mother's womb the way he thinks of Fido, more kids would live.
Just as obnoxious was Biden's claim that the Obama administration is not interfering with the religious liberties of Catholic non-profits. Is he unaware of the dozens of lawsuits filed by the bishops, the laity, and Catholic institutions seeking to insulate themselves from the Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate? Of course not.
The vice president really outdid himself when he twice said it is "a fact" that there is nothing for Catholics to worry about. Here's a real fact: Biden initially registered his misgivings about the policy, and even went so far as to warn that the HHS mandate would not sit well with Catholics. So what changed your mind, Joe?


Professor Antonino Zichichi (1929-) is an internationally renowned Italian nuclear physicist from the University of Bologna. As a rational scientist he is strongly opposed to any form of superstition, particularly astrology and numerology and is certainly not given to flights of fancy.
According to Roberto Pinotti's list(a), Zichichi, in 1993 placed Atlantis in the Atlantic. In an interview(b) he considered the possibility that its demise could have been caused by the impact of a comet or asteroid.
Zichichi had planned to assist Frederico Fellini with a film relating to Atlantis shortly before the untimely death of the famous director.
Britain as the home of Atlantis has been claimed by many writers and not without undertones of nationalism by some of the British authors. Nevertheless, support for the idea has been offered by a number of the more disinterested researchers. Probably the first to advance this idea was John Wallis in 1700, who proposed that the Atlantis story had been corrupted over time and was a reference to the destruction of the landbridge that had existed between France and England, leaving a British Atlantis more isolated (The original Brexit!). It was nearly a century later that the idea was taken up by Thomas Pennant. More than another century passed before Cooper, Spence, Beaumont and Calestani produced related theories. Fast forward to the 21st century, when Donald Ingram identifies the Wessex II culture as Atlantean and Melville Nicholls considers Britain to be one of the Atlantean islands referred to by Plato.
The precise location, the exact date and the probable cause of the destruction of Atlantis are the basis for a range of theories. There is general acceptance that following the deglaciation at the end of the last Ice Age vast regions of low-lying land that had linked Ireland and Britain to mainland Europe were gradually flooded.
One school of thought is that these flooded regions contained Atlantis, of which the most extensive was in the North Sea and is now known as Doggerland. Other offshore locations proposed for Atlantis are the Celtic Shelf (Gidon, Steuerwald & Koudroiavtsev) and the Irish Sea (Dunbavin). These lands had been settled and following the inundations its inhabitants forced to retreat to the higher ground of what is modern Europe and the British Isles.
Another view is that Atlantis was destroyed by the impact of a comet or asteroid, an idea espoused by Dunbavin and Spence.
E. J. de Meester on his now defunct website postulated a link between Stonehenge and Atlantis. After arbitrarily dividing Plato's dimensions by ten, he suggested that the plain described by Plato lay in a rectangle between Salisbury and Chichester.
Flavio Barbiero was born in 1942 in Pula, Croatia. He entered the Naval Academy at Livorno in 1961. He pursued his scientific studies at Pisa's University from where he graduated as an engineer in 1967. He has spent most of his professional life in the Research Centre of the Italian Navy, working on interdisciplinary projects, where he became a specialist in gyroscopic phenomena. He retired in 1998 with the rank of Admiral.
Barbiero is quite clearly a cultured man with a wide range of interests and has been fortunate in being able to combine his naval career with his other activities as a researcher, writer, and lecturer. He has organized and led two scientific expeditions to the Antarctic (in 1976 and 1978). As a member of the Italian Scientific Institution – Centro Camuno di Studi Preistorici, he participated in archaeological researches in Israel. Barbiero is the author of many articles and books on a variety of subjects, ranging from geology to the Bible. His most recent book, La Bibbia Senza Segreti, is still to be released in an English translation under the title The Book of the Law.
Since 1974, Barbiero has, been an ardent promoter of the controversial idea of Atlantis being located in Antarctica. This belief is the result of his studies into the possibility of a rapid pole shift. He submitted a paper on the subject to the 2008 Atlantis Conference in Athens. Some excerpts are available online(b) with an English translation provided. A more extensive paper in support of his views was published on Graham Hancock's website in 2006(a).
It is worth noting that although his book predates the more widely publicised work of the Flem-Aths, it was published in Italian and unknown to them when they published their own book and as far as I can determine, Barbiero's original work, Una civiltà sotto ghiaccio, (One Civilisation Under the Ice), is still only available in Italian. Like the Flem-Aths, Barbiero has also proposed a Pole Shift that was caused by an impact with an asteroid or comet(d).
However, in 2010 he published, in English, The Secret Society of Moses , in which he investigates the disappearance of Moses' descendants from the historical record.
Barbiero has also written an extensive paper(c) in which he precisely dates the biblical Exodus to the night of the 14th and 15th of July of 1208 B.C.
Atlantis in America: Navigators of the Ancient World  by Ivar Zapp & George Erikson, was initially inspired by Professor Zapp's interest in the stone spheres of Costa Rica, which he first encountered in 1979. Local myth hinted at a connection with the stars but Zapp's perusal of this idea led nowhere. Unfortunately, many of these remarkable stones have been moved from their original locations. However, Zapp discovered that the sightlines of all the stones remaining in their original positions, did point to important ancient sites such as Giza, Stonehenge and Easter Island. It would be prudent to treat Zapp's claims with caution as his claim regarding the 'perfect' sphericity of the balls has been shown to be untrue(b)(c).
*My question is, how could a sphere 'point' anywhere?
The authors examine the links between MesoAmerica and the Mediterranean as well as with Polynesia. They perceive America as having been pivotal to the cultural empire of Atlantis. The general idea there was ancient links between the Old and New worlds in ancient times is perfectly tenable. However, to suggest that Plato was referring to an Atlantis centred in Mesoamerica is more difficult to accept. Zapp & Erikson have proposed that an asteroidal impact in the Caribbean in 10513 BC generated enormous tidal waves that caused widespread devastation in Central America where they have located Atlantis. Plato tells us that Atlantis ruled,"Europe as far as Tyrrhenia and North Africa as far as Egypt", before mounting an invasion in the east against the Athenians. The only physical evidence of ancient American influence anywhere in the Mediterranean, are traces of cocaine and tobacco in ancient Egypt. This widely reported discovery may have its significance weakend by the conclusions of article published in the April/May 1949 edition of Egerton Sykes' Atlantis Research magazine entitled Did Tobacco Originate In Africa?, by M. Brenda Francklyn. In it the author quotes from an earlier book, The Ivory Coast, which recounts a myth from West Africa that suggests that the tobacco plant originated there and was in fact exported to the Americas.
However, in the western Mediterranean, an area apparently controlled by Atlantis, no tangible evidence of any ancient American importation has been found. Furthermore, there is nothing in the detailed description of Atlantis given by Plato that can be identified as exclusively American in origin. In the opinion of this reviewer, the case for any American connection with Atlantis is still very much an open question. Although this book presents a lot of interesting and thought-provoking ideas it must be read without the abandonment of the readers' critical faculties.
In 2006, National Geographic in a documentary entitled "Atlantis: Is it Real?" gave further exposure to the theories of Erikson & Zapp.
Roland M. Horn, was born in 1963, and is the author of a number of books on a variety of subjects, such as Edgar Cayce, The Bible, Atlantis and latterly 2012. Horn is a keen supporter of the theory of Otto Muck, who postulated the idea of a cometary impact in the Atlantic that led to the destruction of Atlantis, which had been located there. He has a new website(a), in English, outlining his views on the location of Atlantis(c) and promoting his books. He has produced three books, in German, on the subject of Atlantis. In 1997 he published the first of these, Das Erbe von Atlantis, which he revised and republished in 2001. The second, which deals with Edgar Cayce's contribution to the Atlantis question. The third volume endeavours to support the idea that Atlantis was the cradle of civilisation.
On October 1st 2010, Horn and his colleague, Bernhard Beier, launch an important website, Atlantisforchung.de(b), which has an extensive range of Atlantis related articles.
Professor Nikolay Bonev (1898-1979) formerly held the chair of Astronomy at the University of Sofia, in Bulgaria, favoured an Atlantic location for Atlantis and published a number of papers in the mid-20th century on the subject. He was inclined to the idea of an asteroid strike or close fly-by as the primary cause of the destruction of Atlantis(b). He considered that an asteroid approaching the earth would have caused a tide of enormous magnitude that would have created incredible devastation as it either followed its course as the asteroid either flew past or reacted to a massive sea impact. Bonev specifically favoured the asteroid Ceres as the culprit.
Bonev, caused a stir in 1961 when he expressed the view that our Moon had once been an independent planet(a) that had experienced violent volcanic eruptions that were powerful enough to have produced a 'recoil' effect, which nudged it towards our Earth's orbit and was eventually captured as our satellite. His views had echoes of Hans Hoerbiger's discredited captured moons theory. At the time scientists rejected Bonev's claim as unsubstantiated by evidence, but since then we have discover the ongoing mega-eruptions on Jupiter's moon, Io, which is slightly larger than our Moon. No effect on Io's orbit has been recorded.
Alan H. Kelso de Montigny ( -1972) was an American anthropologist of Dutch extraction, who is probably best known for his 1949 booklet How Did Language Originate.
He also identified a feature in the eastern Caribbean that appeared to be that of an asteroid impact. Kelso De Montigny published a paper in 1954 in which he concluded that this impact occurred 5,000-6,000 years ago destroying a landbridge linking the Lesser Antilles and the South American mainland and furthermore was possibly instrumental in the destruction of Atlantis. He arrived at his dating theory after collating native traditions in the region.
This impact may be connected with the creation of the Carolina Bays and/or the other impact sites in the Atlantic as noted by Otto Muck.
Otto Heinrich Muck (1892-1956) was born in Vienna and graduated as an engineer at the Munich College of Advanced Technology. Muck had a very productive life that saw him hold patents for around 2000 inventions at the time of his death. During World War I, he was a flying officer and during World War II, he invented the U-boat schnorkel and was also a member of the Peenemunde Rocket Research Team. After the war Muck was a scientific consultant to large industrial concerns. He died in 1956 following an accident.
Muck published his worthwhile contribution to the Atlantis mystery, in German, Alles über Atlantis, in 1954. It was translated into English by Fred Bradley and published in Britain in 1978. The book was well received and his views continue to have support today.
Muck's book is now out of print, but English translations of it can now be viewed and downloaded from the Internet(a)(b).
Muck believed that Atlantis had been located on the Mid Atlantic Ridge and was destroyed as a consequence of an asteroidal impact. He maintained that the asteroid hit the Atlantic, east of the Caribbean, creating the remarkable Carolina Bays en route with its attendant debris and causing tectonic disturbance of such a magnitude that it led to the sinking of Atlantis. He considered the Azores to be remnants of Atlantis.
Muck attributes many of our flood myths to the ensuing tsunamis. With teutonic precision he pinpoints the time and date of this disaster to 8.00pm on June 5th, 8498 BC, but carelessly omits to tell us whether this is Greenwich Mean Time, Central European Time or some other zone.
Muck's impact theory would appear to have been 'inspired' by the studies of two American geologists, F.A. Melton and W. Schriever in the early 1930's and the later work by W.F. Prouty(a).
Muck identified what he considered to be two huge impact craters in the Atlantic east of Puerto Rico as evidence of the catastrophe that led to the destruction of Atlantis. Unfortunately for Muck supporters, improved satellite imagery since the 1970's has shown these 'craters' to be chimeras(c).
He further contended that prior to the destruction of Atlantis in the Atlantic the Gulf Stream had been blocked and that after the catastrophe it had pushed northward improving the climate of the British Isles and northwest Europe. In this this regard he was following the views of René Malaise. A more recent report(d) proposes that the Gulf Stream had not been interrupted during the last Ice Age.
Understandably, half a century later, advances in various scientific disciplines have demonstrated flaws in his theories. Nevertheless a number of researchers, such as Wolter Smit, Dale Drinnon, Roland Horn and Prescott Rawlings still support aspects of Muck's theories. More recently, Andrew Collins has adopted Muck's Atlantic impact theory in his Atlantis in the Caribbean.
However, Muck's book is still worth reading as a study in theory building. Used copies can (Feb. 2013) be had very cheaply (€0.01) through Amazon.
Over twenty years after his death, another book commenced by Muck was published: Geburt der Kontinente (Birth of the continents), completed by F. Wackers and edited by Mario Muck and Ferdinand Wackers.

Vijay Mallya blames defective engines of Pratt & Whitney for the fall of Kingfisher Airlines
The fugitive businessman said his company had filed a lawsuit, demanding compensation for the faulty engines.
Fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya on Friday blamed faulty aircraft engines of Pratt & Whitney for the collapse of Kingfisher Airlines. "We have sued IAE [International Aero Engine], a Pratt & Whitney Group Company, for compensation towards defective aircraft engines supplied to Kingfisher Airlines," Mallya tweeted.
In the lawsuit, Kingfisher Airlines had demanded $236 million (Rs 1,570 crore approximately) for supplying "inherently defective" engines. Kingfisher Airlines Limited was asked to wind up after it failed to pay its dues to a firm in the United Kingdom. The beleaguered company was supposed to pay Rs 35 crore to aircraft parts supplier Aerotron. In November last year, the Karnataka High Court had also directed the official liquidator to attach the assets of the airline.
Mallya's tweet came after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation initiated a probe against Pratt & Whitney aircraft engines. "Not surprised at DGCA enquiry into Pratt & Whitney aircraft engines. Kingfisher Airlines sadly collapsed also due to faulty engines," he posted.
The DGCA has initiated the investigation after the engine of an IndiGo flight caught fire in Mumbai. The carrier had procured the engines from Pratt & Whitney. Apart from IndiGo, GoAir, which, too, procured engines from the same company, has also faced technical glitches in recent times. As many as 21 A320 neo planes that are equipped with P&W engines will be examined, a senior DGCA official had told PTI. The exercise is likely to be completed in the next two weeks.

(More links to previous NFL mock drafts at the bottom of this page)
The overreaction mock draft is back! Last year's version had a few picks right like Jameis Winston to the Bucs and Ereck Flowers to the Giants. You never know what outside-the-box thinking will end up being prophetic.
Tennessee Titans: Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss
The Titans have a good young left tackle in Taylor Lewan, but Tennessee's offensive line as a unit could be improved to protect Marcus Mariota. If the Titans took Tunsil, they could move Lewan to the right side and have the best young tackle tandem in the NFL to protect their franchise quarterback.
This season, Tunsil demonstrated his phenomenal quickness, athleticism and abilities to bend and mirror. He has a ton of natural talent to be a blind-side protector. Tunsil was dominant in 2014 and arguably the best left tackle in the nation. Not only did he shut down pass-rushers, he achieved movement in the ground game.
After being suspended for seven games to start 2015, Tunsil returned to the field impressively for Ole Miss against Texas A&M and speed rusher Myles Garrett. Tunsil had some issues with Auburn's Carl Lawson in his second game back, but still was solid. He was excellent against LSU.
Tunsil (6-5, 305) was one of the top recruits in the nation coming out of high school. As a freshman, he validated the hype when he broke into the starting lineup and became an All-SEC Second-Team selection by the AP. The conference's coaches had him as an All-Freshman performer, and he was also named a Freshman All-American according to many media outlets.
Cleveland Browns: Jared Goff, QB, California
Obviously, Cleveland needs a franchise quarterback. The Browns also have cleaned house in the front office and coaching staff, and new regimes mean new quarterbacks. Goff is the more pro-ready signal-caller of the top-two options.
In 2015, Goff completed 64 percent of his passes for 4,719 yards with 43 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He has a quality, accurate arm as well as field vision. Goff also has functional mobility to avoid rushers and pick up some yards on the ground. The 6-foot-4, 215-pounder is lanky and could use more weight. He also could have some issues with getting rattled and handling the rush in the NFL. Holding up against the pass rush at California led to him having some mechanical issues that he's working on fixing.
Goff enjoyed a breakout 2014 season. The sophomore completed 62 percent of his passes for 3,973 yards with 35 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He displayed real pocket-passing potential while playing with a less-than-ideal supporting cast. Goff became the starter as a freshman in 2013 and completed 60 percent of his passes for 3,508 yards with 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
Philadelphia Eagles: Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis
TRADE! Obviously, the Eagles need a franchise quarterback. Sam Bradford isn't good enough to be the long-term starter, and the new head coach will want his own guy to build around.
To me, Lynch looks like a mix of Blake Bortles and Brock Osweiler as a prospect in terms of athletic skill set. Lynch completed 67 percent of his passes this season for 3,778 yards with 28 touchdowns and three interceptions. His arm can make all the throws for the pro game, and he also has flashed the ability to pass accurately and beat good coverage with precise completions into tight windows. Additionally, Lynch has the athleticism to make plays with his feet and throw on the run.
However, he is a project for the NFL. Lynch has a great skill set, but needs work as a pocket passer with developing his field vision.
Dallas Cowboys: Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State
The Cowboys may not keep Greg Hardy around for the long term and could use a bigger defensive end considering Randy Gregory and Demarcus Lawrence are undersized for a 4-3 defense.
Since missing the 2015 season opener with a suspension, Bosa totaled 51 tackles with 16 for a loss and five sacks. While he didn't play poorly, he wasn't been as tenacious as he was in 2014, despite seeing single-block pass-rushing opportunities. Bosa looked better as a run defender. He managed to put pressure on quarterbacks, but wasn't prolific in the pass rush. Sources say that Bosa is like another Ryan Kerrigan for the NFL and has been overhyped by the media.
During 2014, Bosa recorded 55 tackles with 13.5 sacks, 21 tackles for a loss, four forced fumbles and a pass defended. He simply lived in opponents' backfields. The 6-foot-5, 275-pounder has some speed to go with natural strength. He possesses a burst off the snap and can turn the corner, but isn't a true speed demon off the edge. As a sophomore, Bosa also showed good hands to shed blocks while working upfield. He racked up 44 tackles with 13.5 tackles for a loss, 7.5 sacks and one forced fumble that season.
Jacksonville Jaguars: DeForest Buckner, DL, Oregon
The Jaguars need to improve their offensive line and pass defense. On the other side from Dante Fowler Jr., Buckner would be an excellent end to get after quarterbacks.
In 2015, Buckner totaled 76 tackles with 16 for a loss, 9.5 sacks and five passes batted. He recorded 81 tackles with 13 tackles for a loss, four sacks and four passes broken up in 2014.
Buckner has a serious combination of strength, speed and size. The 6-foot-7, 290-pounder has a similar skill set to former teammate Arik Armstead. Buckner displayed shown more pass-rushing skills this season and looks like he could be an impact-making defender at the next level.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State
TRADE! The Buccaneers have to improve their pass defense this offseason, so they move up with Baltimore to get an upgrade. This isn't a deep class of pass-rushers, so Tampa Bay jumps in front of a few teams that could take a pass-rusher after Bosa and Buckner go off the board.
The Bucs have to get better at pressuring the quarterback off the edge and covering receivers downfield. In the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, taking Ogbah would make a lot of sense. He is a sturdy base end for a 4-3 defense and would be a perfect fit in Lovie Smith's version of the Tampa 2.
Ogbah totaled 64 tackles, 17.5 for a loss, three forced fumbles and 13 sacks in 2015. He was a consistent force in the pass rush while also being solid in run defense. The 6-foot-4, 275-pounder broke out for the Cowboys in 2014 with 11 sacks, 49 tackles, 17 tackles for a loss, one forced fumble and five passes batted.
Ogbah has speed to go with size. While he isn't a blinding speed rusher, he has a decent first-step with enough quickness to win around the corner. Ogbah also has the power to beat tackles with a bull rush or a strong rip move. He had a consistent and steady career at Oklahoma State.
San Francisco 49ers: A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama
San Francisco has nose tackle Ian Williams entering free agency and could use an upgrade over him anyway.
In 2015, Robinson recorded 43 tackles with seven for a loss and three sacks. He totaled 49 tackles with 7.5 tackles for a loss, one forced fumble and two passes batted in his sophomore season. In 2013 as a freshman, Robinson was too good to keep on the sideline. He was an impressive defender for the Crimson Tide with 38 tackles, eight tackles for a loss and 5.5 sacks.
Robinson is a stout defender at the point of attack who can get after the quarterback. The 6-foot-4, 320-pounder's quick for his size and very strong. He is the best defensive lineman Alabama has produced since Marcel Dareus.
Miami Dolphins: Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida
As Odell Beckham Jr. illustrated, the Dolphins need a No. 1 corner. They would be fortunate to land Vernon Hargreaves or Kendall Fuller. Miami also needs to upgrade its safeties. Jalen Ramsey could fill a void at safety or be a press-man corner for the Dolphins. Any of those three defensive backs would make sense for Miami.
This year, Hargreaves totaled 33 tackles, four pass broken up, four interceptions and a forced fumble - off Leonard Fournette. He was having a good year before a late-season slump. Sources feel that Hargreaves can get bumped around and out-physicaled. He could stand to improve on that and his deep speed for the NFL.
Hargreaves was excellent as a cover corner over his career. He totaled 50 tackles, three interceptions and 13 passes broken up in 2014. Hargreaves went toe to toe with Amari Cooper that season and held his own. Both players showcased their elite skills and proved to be top prospects for the NFL. Cooper made some catches over Hargreaves, but unlike other defensive backs, Cooper wasn't getting separation or burning the Gator cover corner.
The 5-foot-11, 192-pound Hargreaves has natural cover skills to run with wideouts and not allow separation. Sources have said that Hargreaves is a star off the field as well as a good teammate, worker and citizen. As a true freshman in 2013, he recorded interceptions in his first three college games while totaling 11 pass breakups and 38 tackles for the year.
Baltimore Ravens: Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia
TRADE! After moving down with Tampa Bay, the Ravens gets a pass-rusher for their 3-4 scheme. They need a young edge rusher to be the long-term replacement for either Terrell Suggs or Elvis Dumervil.
Floyd notched 74 tackles with 10.5 for a loss and 4.5 sacks this season. He is a speedy defender who is just scratching the surface of his potential. Floyd is a natural pass-rusher with agility and a knack for getting to the quarterback. His ability to bend around the corner is extremely rare.
In 2014, the sophomore had 55 tackles with six sacks, two forced fumbles and 8.5 tackles for a loss. Floyd's run defense was a liability, and it caused him to get benched for a short time. Floyd totaled 55 tackles with 9.5 tackles for a loss and 6.5 sacks in 2013. The 6-foot-4, 230-pounder played at Hargrave Military Academy for a season after high school.
New York Giants: Jaylon Smith, LB, Notre Dame
The Giants have needed a play-maker at linebacker for years, and that was exposed on Sunday once again. DeMarco Murray had a 54-yard touchdown run, while Zach Ertz caught nine passes for 152 yards. Ryan Mathews also had 54 yards on seven catches and two touchdowns out of the backfield. New York would land an instant upgrade in Smith.
Smith has the skills to cover in the passing game and make a big impact against the run. In 2015, the 6-foot-2, 235-pounder has totaled 115 tackles, nine for a loss, one sack, four passes broken up and one forced fumble (he was robbed of one by the official scorer). Smith suffered an injury in his bowl game, so he could be available here for the Giants.
In 2014, Smith was all over the field for the Fighting Irish with 112 tackles with nine tackles for a loss, one forced fumble, 3.5 sacks and two passes defended. Smith has speed and athleticism in the middle of the field with the ability to start on the inside or the outside.
Chicago Bears: Myles Jack, OLB, UCLA
The Bears look to rebuild their defense with a linebacker who could restore the great tradition in Chicago.
Jack notched 15 tackles, one interception and a pass broken up in his shortened 2015 season. He also had two carries for seven yards and a touchdown on offense. The junior suffered a knee injury in practice that ended his year in only September. He withdrew from UCLA early to prepare for the 2016 NFL Draft.
As a sophomore, Jack racked up 87 tackles with eight tackles for a loss, seven passes broken up, one interception and one forced fumble. While only a freshman starter in 2013, Jack became a superstar who was named the Pac-12's Offensive AND Defensive Freshman of the Year. On the defensive side of the ball, he recorded 75 tackles with 11 passes broken up and two interceptions. His pass-coverage skills for a freshman were outstanding. Jack ran for 267 yards on 38 carries (7.0 average) with seven touchdowns, too.
Jack's natural pass-coverage skills are extremely impressive. NFL evaluators are going to love what he can do in the passing game. Don't be surprised if the 6-foot-1, 230-pounder improves annually with his huge upside.
New Orleans Saints: Kendall Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
After setting a record for touchdown passes allowed, the Saints need to improve their pass defense. Here is a No. 1 corner for New Orleans.
Some sources have said that if Fuller had stayed healthy and played like he did in 2014, he would be the top cornerback prospect in the 2016 NFL Draft. Because of that, don't be surprised if the junior steadily rises in the lead-up to the draft. Some teams have higher draft grades on Fuller than Vernon Hargreaves and Jalen Ramsey.
Fuller had a rough start to 2015 when he was beaten by Michael Thomas for a touchdown, but aside from that play, Fuller was solid against a very talented Ohio State team. He only ended up playing in two games before going out for the year due to knee surgery. Fuller recorded seven tackles, one sack and a pass broken up in his shortened season.
Fuller played at a very high level in 2014, racking up 17 passes broken up, two interceptions, 50 tackles and 4.5 tackles for a loss. He shut down East Carolina's Justin Hardy in their matchup. Pittsburgh's Tyler Boyd was a challenge for Fuller, but Fuller held his own.
The younger brother of Chicago 2014 NFL Draft first-round pick Kyle Fuller, Kendall Fuller saw the field immediately as a freshman. He was a Freshman All-American and the ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year. Fuller is quick and instinctive, just like his older brother. Kendall Fuller had six interceptions and 58 tackles in his debut season.
San Diego Chargers: Jalen Ramsey, S/CB, Florida State
TRADE! After moving down with the Eagles, the Chargers land a replacement for Eric Weddle. It has become crystal clear that Weddle is leaving San Diego.
In 2015, Ramsey totaled 50 tackles, 10 passes broken up, zero interceptions and a fumble returned for a touchdown. Sources say that they feel that Ramsey is more special at safety and prefer him there to cornerback. Ramsey was a force at safety, but spent 2015 at cornerback. He showed that he can he be a press-man corner, but isn't great in off-man or zone. Ramsey struggles to prevent separation from speed receivers and sudden route-runners. The game tapes against South Florida and Miami, among others, illustrate those issues. Ramsey's okay at corner, but a special player at safety.
Ramsey (6-1, 204) was one of Florida State's best defenders in 2014, notching a lot of clutch tackles. He totaled 79 stops, 9.5 tackles for a loss, 12 passes broken up, two interceptions and two forced fumbles on the year. As a freshman in 2013, Ramsey started on the Seminoles' National Championship team at safety and cornerback. He recorded 49 tackles and an interception that season.
Oakland Raiders: Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame
Oakland could stand to improve its offensive tackles to give Derek Carr better protection. Stanley could be the long-term replacement Donald Penn.
Stanley is athletic and quick. He possesses good length to him and sustains his blocks pretty well. Stanley has the speed and agility to mirror speed rushers and is a skilled blind-side protector. His significant athleticism allows him to hit blocks downfield as well.
However, Stanley needs to add more power and play with more mean streak, and he has to improve his ability to avoid mental mistakes with penalties. Stanley can struggle with physical defensive linemen (see Clemson and Shaq Lawson). He could stand to add some strength for the NFL.
Stanley (6-5, 315) generated a ton of late-season buzz in 2014, and he put an exclamation point on it by getting the better of the top 2015 NFL Draft-eligible defensive lineman in USC's Leonard Williams in limited plays against each other. In 2013, Stanley started at right tackle and was part of a line that allowed only eight sacks on the season.
St. Louis Rams: Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss
The Rams could use a big receiver to pair with Tavon Austin. They need an upgrade over Kenny Britt, while Brian Quick hasn't panned out. Here's a receiver who could help improve the passing offense for St. Louis. Treadwell would also help the team's blocking for Todd Gurley.
The 6-foot-2, 229-pound Treadwell is a natural receiver who is good at winning 50-50 passes and running after the catch. However, he lacks the speed to separate from a lot of defensive backs. The big wideout also is a phenomenal blocker.
In 2015, Treadwell had 82 receptions for 1,153 yards and 11 touchdowns. He recorded 48 receptions for 632 yards and five touchdowns in 2014 before an ugly injury ended his season. Treadwell caught 72 receptions for 608 yards with five scores in 2013.
Detroit Lions: Andrew Billings, DT, Baylor
The Lions grab a nose tackle to cause disruption next to Ziggy Ansah. Billings has more talent and upside than any offensive lineman available.
Billings totaled 39 tackles with 14 for a loss, 5.5 sacks and one forced fumble in 2015. The numbers don't tell the whole story as he is extremely powerful with some serious quickness. Billings can be overwhelming in the ground game and contribute to the pass rush. He causes a lot of disruption at the point of attack by using his power and explosion to fire into the backfield. Billings totaled 37 tackles with 11.5 for a loss and two sacks in 2014. The 6-foot-2, 310-pounder is also known as a weight-room champion.

New Milford woman charged for inappropriate relationship with student at Washington school rejects plea bargain in Litchfield court
RICKY CAMPBELL
Published 12:00 am EDT, Friday, June 1, 2012
LITCHFIELD -- A former Washington school staff member facing allegations of having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old male student rejected a plea bargain Friday in court, choosing rather to have her case added to the firm jury docket in Litchfield Superior Court.
Brittany D. Larson, 27, of New Milford, was formerly employed as a receptionist at the Devereaux Glenholme School in Washington before being terminated in October 2011. School officials were made aware of the alleged inappropriate relationship after information technology staffers at the school found messages on the victim's Facebook wall referencing various sexual acts and sending nude photos of herself to him.
She is currently facing a single charge of second-degree sexual assault as a school employee with an enrolled student. The charge is a Class C felony with an exposure of nine months to 10 years in jail.
The Devereaux Glenholme School specializes in educating students between the ages of 10 and 18 with learning challenges such as Asperger's syndrome and ADHD.
On Friday, Larson, represented by defense attorney Robert Dwyer of Winsted, rejected an offer by state prosecutors to plead guilty and face 18 months in jail -- nine months more than the statute's mandatory minimum.
Instead, the former school employee chose to take her previous plea of non-guilty and head to the next stage of court proceedings.
Larson's rejection of the plea bargain also denies her the opportunity to renew the nine-month deal. State prosecutors now have the opportunity to pursue the maximum sentencing.
Her next appearance is scheduled for July 20.

Israel demolishes Al-Araqeeb Bedouin village for 142nd time
April 4, 2019 at 7:45 pm | Published in: Israel, Middle East, News, Palestine
A woman from al-Araqib Bedouin village can be seen gesturing towards Israeli bulldozers on 4 April 2019 [Ma'an News]
Israeli bulldozers demolished the unrecognised Bedouin village of Al-Araqeeb in the Negev desert in southern Israel for the 142nd time, on Thursday, Ma'an News has reported.
Locals reported that Israeli bulldozers, escorted by Israeli police forces, demolished residential structures and tents of Al-Araqeeb villagers, leaving women, children and the elderly without a shelter.
Villagers said that they insist on remaining in their village, adding that they will keep re-building their village.
The Israeli demolitions of Al-Araqeeb are carried out in attempts to force the Bedouin population to relocate to government-zoned townships.
Like the 34 other Bedouin villages "unrecognized" by Israel, Al-Araqeeb does not receive any services from the Israeli government and is constantly subjected to the threats of expulsion and home demolition.
READ: Israel to displace 65,000 Bedouin citizens in 'development' plan
These "unrecognised" villages were established in the Negev soon after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war following the creation of the state of Israel, when an estimated 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes and made refugees.
Many of the Bedouins were forcibly transferred to the village sites during the 17-year period when Palestinians inside Israel were governed under Israeli military law, which ended shortly before Israel's military takeover of Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in 1967.
Now more than 60 years later, the Bedouin villages have yet to be legally recognised by Israel and live under constant threats of demolition and forcible removal.

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, who became the first trainer to win the Los Alamitos CashCall Futurity and the Starlet in the same year in 2017, will try to duplicate the feat Saturday.
Baffert, who won the Futurity with McKinzie – after the disqualification of stablemate Solomini – and the Starlet with Dream Tree a year ago, will have two representatives in each of the Grade I events for 2-year-olds to be offered for the fifth time at Los Alamitos.
Baffert, who has won the Starlet – which is restricted to fillies – four times, is scheduled to run Chasing Yesterday and Mother Mother in that race after sending out Improbable and Mucho Gusto in the Futurity, a race he has captured 10 times, including all four at Los Alamitos.
Both the Starlet and CashCall Futurity were run previously at Hollywood Park (1981-2013).
Post time Saturday is 12:30 p.m. The Futurity is the fifth of nine races and has a scheduled post time of 2:28 p.m. while the Starlet goes about one hour later as the seventh race.
Won previously by stars such as Snow Chief, A.P. Indy, Best Pal, Real Quiet, Point Given, Lookin At Lucky and Shared Belief, the CashCall Futurity is part of the "Road to the Kentucky Derby'' series. Saturday's winner will receive 10 points towards securing a spot in the starting gate May 4, 2019 at Churchill Downs.
The Starlet, whose past winners include Althea, Very Subtle, Goodbye Halo, Sardula, Serena's Song, Surfside, Blind Luck, Take Charge Brandi and Abel Tasman, is part of the "Road to the Kentucky Oaks'' series. The winner Saturday will receive 10 points towards earning a berth in the Kentucky Oaks next May 3 in Louisville.

He has earned $89,520.

NES designer reconfirms original color scheme was based on Nintendo president's favorite scarf
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
Engineer and designer Masayuki Uemura, who worked on the creation of the NES, recently appeared at the National Videogame Arcade in Hockley. Nottingham Post caught up with him for a brief chat about the famous console.
According to Uemura, the console's original color scheme was based on Hiroshi Yamauchi's favorite scarf. Of course, Yamauchi was Nintendo's president at the time.
Uemura also said the following when we asked if he believes games helped build East-West relations in the wake of World War II:
"The NES had an important role in transmitting Japanese culture to the world, and we received influences from foreign countries, too. We are different cultures but childhood is universal."

NES designer on Nintendo and Sony's failed partnership, emphasis on design, indie comparison
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 12 Comments
Back in the day, Nintendo and Sony once attempted to work with each other. The SNES PlayStation prototype is evidence of that. Had the two sides collaborated, Sony would have come out with its own SNES-CD peripheral for the console.
NES designer Masayuki Uemura, in an interview with Gamasutra, spoke about Nintendo and Sony's failed partnership during a NES celebration at The Strong Museum of Play's International Center for the History of Electronic Games. Whereas companies like Sony began to focus on graphics and the technological side of gaming at the time, Nintendo still pushed for innovation with design.
Uemura said:
"You might know that we tried to collaborate with Sony once. We knew what Sony was thinking and what kinds of things they were trying to develop. During this time when Sony and other companies started launching products, people started realizing how difficult it is to create a game with great mechanics. Since the time of Game & Watch, Nintendo was doing their best to create game design mechanics that fully utilize the limited technological specifications. What happened was when they started launching those products with high quality graphic design they started emphasizing the graphics processing power – in other words, it wasn't just the game mechanics they had to focus on but they also had to focus on graphic expression and sound design, not just game design. That's how the market got saturated with all these kinds of products.
"By contrast, Nintendo was always trying to push the limitations of new types of play. That was a difference between Nintendo product lines and the others. With the maturity of the game industry…it was time to start thinking about redefining the importance of mechanics and design. So for a couple decades the game publishers and hardware manufacturers were focusing on graphics processing power and sound effects and so forth and not focusing much on innovating in game design and mechanics."

NES designer talks about the controller
NES designer Masayuki Uemura has offered quite a bit of insight into the console's controller. Here's what was shared with USgamer:
"There were, as you can probably imagine, a lot of difficulties we faced in doing things for the first time in building this hardware, but one of the most difficult was, 'What shape and layout will the controller have?' This has a touch of coincidence about it, too, but some of those people who had gone to work with Gunpei Yokoi's team eventually found their way back to our team. So one of the ideas that came up because of that was, 'Well, we've got this Game & Watch multi-screen Donkey Kong that uses the controller format of a plus control pad and buttons.' So we hooked that up and got it working."
"At the time, we were prototyping various ideas for the Famicom hardware, as well as controllers. When we took this idea that had been used for controls with the Donkey Kong Game & Watch and got it working on the Famicom prototype with that same style of controls, we immediately knew, 'OK, this feels right; there's something good about this.' That means that there are actually a few people who can claim that they invented the controller for the Famicom!
"I think that the biggest reason that we liked the controls this way was just how good the original Game & Watch Donkey Kong, which was on multi-screen, felt. To expand on that a little further, with this prototype… the multi-screen format of the Donkey Kong Game & Watch means that you have a screen on top and a screen on the bottom, with the controls down below. When we hooked up the prototype, it meant that you were no longer looking down there [at the controls], but up here [at the screen]. Yet we suddenly realized, kind of mysteriously, that you didn't need to look at the controls while you were playing the game, and it still felt right!
"And up to that point, we had tried a big variety of control styles and they had all had some sort of something that didn't feel quite right about them, but this was something that no matter who tried it on our team, they could tell right away that this worked. So that's when I decided to put my foot down and make the call that this is what we would be going with.
"I may have made the decision, but in the end, it's something that whoever worked on the Game & Watch for Donkey Kong had a hand in, whoever brought the idea to try out the prototype had a hand in it—it was really a team effort."
"You know, we didn't patent that technology (crosspad design) at the time. Once it was established, you kind of started to see it pop up everywhere, and now it's kind of become a standard for controls in games."
USgamer has much more with Uemura in its piece. You can read up on the full article here.

NES designer on the system's name, setting itself apart from Atari, and success
Mashable recently had a chance to speak with Masayuki Uemura, the lead designer of the Nintendo Entertainment System.
At one point during the discussion, Uemura commented on how the name was settled on:
"We decided to put Entertainment in the middle. We thought we could maybe piggyback a little bit [on] the naming idea Atari had had, but put something with a little more dynamism and attraction in the middle. So that's how it became the NES."
Masayuki went on to discuss Atari – which had created a negative images of games – and how Nintendo wanted to go in a different direction.

NES designer explains the front-loading slot, why the Zapper was bundled in
Masayuki Uemura, a lead designer of the Nintendo Entertainment System, held a presentation at New York University's Game Center last night. Uemura shared a couple of interesting insights that I wanted to relay here.
First, the front-loading slot was implemented since VHS systems were popular in the mid-190s. The team wanted to make the NES to take on a somewhat similar appearance. Uemura also commented on why the Zapper was bundled in: because Americans loved guns, apparently!

General's Defense To Try For Plea Deal In Sex Case
FILE - In this March 4, 2014, file photo, Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair, right, leaves the courthouse with his lawyers Richard Scheff, left, and Ellen C. Brotman, not pictured, following a day of motions at Fort Bragg, N.C. A military judge declined Monday, March 10, 2014, to dismiss sexual assault charges against Sinclair after reviewing what he said was evidence that political considerations influenced the military's handling of the case. (AP Photo/The Fayetteville Observer, James Robinson, File)
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) – Attorneys for an Army general charged with sexual assault said Tuesday that they have decided to try to renegotiate a plea bargain with a new set of military officials after the judge determined that the case may have been improperly influenced by political concerns.
Judge Col. James Pohl sent the jury of generals back to their duty stations around the world after the defense's decision.
Pohl had declined to dismiss the charges outright on Monday. But he reviewed newly disclosed emails in Sinclair's case and said he found the appearance of "unlawful command influence" in Fort Bragg officials' decision to reject a plea bargain with the general in January.
The twist came with the Pentagon under heavy pressure from Congress and beyond to combat rape and other sex crimes in the military. On Monday, the Senate approved legislation cracking down on misconduct.
Under the military code of justice, the decision was supposed to be decided solely on the evidence, not its broader political implications.

But Pohl said the emails showed that the military officials who rejected the plea bargain had discussed a letter from the accuser's lawyer. The letter warned that allowing the general to avoid trial would "send the wrong signal."
Sinclair, the 51-year-old former deputy commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, is accused of twice forcing a female captain to perform oral sex on him in Afghanistan in 2011 during a three-year extramarital affair. He has admitted to the affair but denied assaulting the woman.
He is believed to be the highest-ranking U.S. military officer ever court-martialed on sexual assault charges. He could get life in prison if convicted.
The defense has portrayed the woman as a liar who concocted the allegations after she saw emails between Sinclair and another woman.
Scheff said the new developments vindicated what the defense has been claiming for months — that the Army pressed ahead with a weak case for fear of the political blowback that would result from dropping charges against such a high-profile defendant.
Lt. Col. Robert Stelle, the lead prosecutor, declined to comment after Monday's hearing.
In December, Sinclair had offered to plead guilty to some of the lesser charges in exchange for the Army dropping the sexual assault charges, but he was turned down.
Sinclair's plea offer was discussed in emails among a high-ranking Washington-based Army lawyer, the prosecutors and the commanding general overseeing the case.
The judge said he doesn't think the whole case was tainted, just the decision on a plea agreement. The judge also criticized prosecutors for not giving defense lawyers the emails sooner: "The only reason we are in this conundrum is because of the government's late notice."
Last week, Sinclair pleaded guilty to three lesser charges involving adultery with the captain and improper relationships with two other female Army officers. Those charges could bring 15 years in prison. A trial then began on the remaining sexual assault charges.
Now, the defense could ask to withdraw Sinclair's guilty plea.
In December, Sinclair's accuser came out against a plea bargain on the sexual assault charges in a letter sent by her attorney, Capt. Cassie L. Fowler. Fowler suggested that the proposal deal would "have an adverse effect on my client and the Army's fight against sexual assault."
"Acceptance of this plea would send the wrong signal to those senior commanders who would prey on their subordinates by using their rank and position, thereby ensuring there will be other victims like my client in the future," Fowler wrote.
Though prosecutors deny any consideration was given to Fowler's comments about the potential fallout, the emails turned over to the defense Saturday show they did discuss her assertions. One top military lawyer at Fort Bragg quoted her letter and said he found Fowler "very preachy."
It was Lt. Gen. James Anderson, as commander of Fort Bragg, who made the final decision on whether to accept Sinclair's plea offer.
Testifying from Afghanistan by telephone, Anderson said Monday that he didn't thoroughly read Fowler's letter. The only thing he weighed in rejecting the deal was that the accuser wanted her day in court, he said.
But Anderson's testimony appeared to be contradicted by a Dec. 20 email he sent to a military lawyer. "I have read the letter and made my decision," Anderson wrote.
Fowler said Monday that the courtroom maneuvering over her letter was "nothing more than an attempt to take the focus off the general's gross misconduct."
