SPARTANBURG — Sidelined with leg cramps that turned into a hamstring injury last week, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Domenik Hixon estimates he's still a week away from participating in practice.
The Panthers signed Hixon this offseason to compete for the No. 3 wide receiver position after the departure of Louis Murphy in free agency. But Hixon has seen very little of the practice field since spring workouts.
At minicamp, he dealt with a left hamstring strain that kept him on the exercise bike most of the time. At Wofford, he's been nursing his right hamstring.
"This is the first time I've had hamstring issues, so I'm trying to figure it out," Hixon said. "Trying to gauge it has probably been the toughest thing for me."
Though the hamstring injuries are a first for Hixon, lower-body injuries are not. He broke his left foot during his college pro day in 2006, tore his right ACL in 2010 and 2011, and was sidelined last year with the Giants by an ankle injury.
Hixon was considered the favorite for the No. 3 receiver job this spring, but his hamstring troubles have allowed players such as Ted Ginn Jr. and Armanti Edwards to get the bulk of No. 3 reps.
Hixon said he believes he'll still get enough reps this preseason to get his timing down with quarterbacks Cam Newton and Derek Anderson, but he knows time is running out.
"Yeah, I'd like to say even the next day, tomorrow, try to take it one day at a time," Hixon said. "You go out there too early and have something happen, it could be even more devastating than a strain."
CHANDLER IMPROVING: As injuries mount on the Panthers' offensive line, Nate Chandler may see his role as backup left tackle increase.
Chandler played reserve defensive lineman last year, but with Carolina's depth at that position, the coaching staff switched him to the other side this offseason.
The second-year player saw 23 snaps at left tackle Friday night against the Bears, tied with Hayworth Hicks for the most snaps by a reserve offensive lineman.
"He's an athletic guy, very physical at the point (of attack)," Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said. "He played very well the other night. His run-blocking stood out, and you see his athleticism; he's learning the technique at left tackle."
Beyond starter Jordan Gross, the Panthers are shallow at left tackle. Bruce Campbell will require surgery on his rotator cuff and may be out for the season. Tuesday, the Panthers moved right tackle Byron Bell to left tackle and Garry Williams slid to right tackle, while Jeff Byers moved to right guard.
ROAD READY: Rivera said he was pleased with the team's training camp overall but would have liked to see players stay focused in the final hour at Wofford.
"We slowed down at the end, and unfortunately I think the guys were thinking about I-85," Rivera said. "But the beginning of practice was really good, real smooth, a lot of good things happened. Then you could kind of tell they were a little bit wandering. I wish they could have finished practice and focused all the way through."
In a passionate speech after practice, Rivera told his players the team "can't have distractions" before Thursday night's game at Philadelphia.
"I know this is our move, we'll be back in Charlotte the next time we get together, and we got to be able to stay focused as we get ready to go up to Philadelphia," Rivera said.
SNAP COUNT: Rivera estimated Newton and the rest of the first-stringers will see the field for roughly 20 snaps Thursday night against the Eagles.
Last week against the Bears, Newton and the first-team offense saw 12 official snaps (13 including a pass-interference play), and the offense had 37 net yards, including one touchdown and an interception returned for a touchdown.
In last year's second preseason game against Miami, Newton played in 23 snaps and finished 8-for-11 for 119 yards and one touchdown.
• Josh Norman made a great one-handed interception in the corner of the end zone during red zone drills. Norman seemed to hold onto the ball as he went to the ground after defending Ginn in coverage.
• Tight end Brandon Williams hauled in a Hail Mary from Cam Newton, though the defense didn't put up much of a fight. After the catch, Ryan Kalil and Jordan Gross flexed their biceps for the tight end nicknamed "Swole Bones."
• Tight end Zack Pianalto was in pads for the first time since the Panthers signed him two weeks ago. He had been nursing a quad injury.
• A heavy rain in Spartanburg on Monday night meant a soaked Wofford practice field. That kept guys from going 100percent at practice Tuesday.
• David Gettis made a nice sideline catch from Newton during a two-minute drill. It made up for his drop early in practice on a slant, when the first-team offense went against the third-team defense.
• Defensive tackle Frank Kearse missed practice Tuesday with an injured knee, Rivera said.
• As the return team assembled in the back of the end zone, Ginn walked from the sideline to two returners and jokingly shouted, "Y'all need some help?"
Three questions with TE Greg Olsen
Q. How do you think camp went overall?
A. I think the last three weeks, we got a lot accomplished. I think what we wanted to get done when we first got here, when we reported, we needed to take that next step. We've got one preseason game under our belt. We got a quick turnaround now. Break camp today, travel tomorrow. So we'll learn a lot about ourselves preparation-wise going into Thursday.
Q. From a tight end perspective, what did you think of Brandon Williams?
A. He did a good job for a guy that really started from scratch. He's got to continue to learn and continue to get reps. That's the only way you learn is by getting out there, make mistakes and go through it. You can only learn so much on the chalkboard. But he's really done a remarkable job, considering where he started from and missing all of OTAs with the (knee) injury. He's been a really nice, pleasant surprise.
Q. How did it go with the new offensive terminology?
A. I think that was a seamless transition from the old terminology. It was slight. It wasn't anything too major. But I think it was a welcomed change, something that guys really responded well to – getting the call in the huddle, getting the words out, getting the huddle broken, get up to the (line) and let's go. Turn our tempo a little bit is something we've talked about.
Getting to know…

Height: 6-3.
Weight: 260.
College: Troy.
NFL experience: Third year.
The scoop: Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson have the two defensive end positions locked up, but Addison had a strong training camp and showed that he and Frank Alexander are more than capable of handling backup duties for Carolina.

If you received a ticket from one of Brick Township's red light cameras prior to July 2012, you may eventually be owed a refund under a legal settlement struck Friday.
But don't expect to be reimbursed anywhere near the $85 you had to pay to settle your own case against the camera.
American Traffic Solutions, the vendor of Brick's red light cameras, along with 16 municipalities – including Brick – were sued earlier this year after the state shut down the cameras in those municipalities after finding that a different standard was applied to calculate the length of amber, or yellow, lights than state law required.
Though in most cases, including in Brick, the yellow lights were eventually found to have complied with the prescribed standard, legal action ensued.
The class action suit filed earlier this year was settled after "extensive mediation" with retired Federal Magistrate Judge Joel Rosen, a statement from ATS said. The settlement will preclude similar lawsuits against other ATS communities which had not been previously sued.
Those who received red light camera tickets prior to the July 2012 certification by state officials will receive a notice in the mail regarding their participation, said Charles Territo, an ATS spokesman.
"Those eligible will be notified by mail once the settlement is approved by the courts," Territo told Brick Patch. "Approval should come sometime in January with notifications beginning sometime in February."
The refund owed to violators will be approximately $6, Territo said.
An attorney for the plaintiff in the case said the matter should now be closed.
"As far as we are concerned, this agreement puts these issues to rest and fairly resolves the concerns of the class," said attorney Stephen DeNittis. "By settling these cases not only for themselves, but also on behalf of their customers, ATS has ensured that costly and potentially lengthy litigation will be avoided."
Under the terms of the agreement, ATS and their municipal customers expressly rejected any wrongdoing.

Well, not directly. But one consequence of making airport security more ridiculous and intrusive is more people will choose to drive instead, and more driving means more acidents, injuries and deaths. This segment on CNBC does a nice job discussing it with my friend economist Steve Horwitz and Cliff Winston from Brookings.

Dean's Scholars
This year President and Dean Marc Mihaly has invited a diverse group of accomplished first-year students to attend several dinner seminars with faculty and distinguished guests. These evenings provide a rare opportunity to explore critical issues of our day in an interactive setting with leading thinkers on our faculty and from our local community.
In addition, the dean's scholars benefit from getting to spend intensive time with a small group of students from a wide range of perspectives and life experiences. This year's scholars have lived in South Africa, British Columbia, East Germany, Virginia, Hungary, Panama, Romania, Georgia, Washington, Rwanda, near the Arctic Circle, and in other places around the globe. They have worked, for example, as teachers, researchers, urban planners, archaeologists, sustainability coordinators, and legislative interns.

Stock up time!
Looks like they are at it again.
22 compounds on the list.
In addition this would give the GOv and DEA the ability to randomly add to the list and make arrests so....
If this passes the days of anything anabolic thats not a plant are over.
Stock up time!
All information that I know or provide is a figment of my imagination, I know nothing!
Bunch of ultraconservative assmonkeys
BETA congress is right
Beta ectomorphs up to their old tricks again
TheCaptn' is not a registered proctologist. His post are for his amusement only. Please seek proper medical advice if symptoms persist.
So Formeron is done for soon?
I have a hard time seeing the part allowing the DEA the ability to add things to the list or having the ability to determine what is legal and what is not flying.....its a tad bit against the constitution..but so is the HSA..
Hmmm? Wow!! Scary
everyone email their congressmen and urge him to vote against this... Good news is they had a bill like this in 2012 and it died
Let's waste a lot of time and money banning these products instead of real issues like budget deficit, unemployment, SSI abuse/fraud, wasteful spending....the list could go on forever.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
We slept 2 nigths in this hostel in private room, the pub downstair it's a realy good idea and we enjoied the happy hour !
But the stair have only 1 toilets for 15 rooms. The wall was very small and we heard a man walking in the corridor ( normal walk ) we were awakened by the sound of footsteps , the room was too small <9m² ( we tested an hostel in NY and for the same price in the center the room was two times bigger ).
the bed was too smal for a person >1,90meter like me :-).
The staff was helpfull, the location was good ( 5min from the HYPER center ).
But this hostel was good
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Hello, the best thing is the ubication, close to the historical centre. The room is really basic without bathroom and single beds (we are a couple), the shower didn`t have hot water since 7.30 AM, so we showered with cold water; good breakfast, bar down stairs and discount card for main of the attractions:
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Rooms were clean but ours smelt of smoke when we first arrived and the noise from the bar downstair travelled into our room. Only one toilet for the floor. The internet was in a seperate building and was closed when we were wanting to use it. Overall ok especially for the price we paid.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I met really nice and open people there.
It was a warm place.
I liked it.
When i´ll come to brugge again i ´ll stay in Bauhaus.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I liked the Bauhaus. The rooms are quite well and has good control and security for guests. The only inconvenience I found at the Bauhaus, is that the bar smells so bad, but this is due to a temporary problem with the pipes that I imagine will be fixed soon. The bar features a lively atmosphere at night is fine for a drink and the waiters and barmen are very familiar, make you feel right at home. It is conveniently located, just 10 minutes walk from the center and, with supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, ATMs and shops of all kinds a few minutes, all very close in the same street.
This hostel is really great, I recommend it.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I stayed only for a day so my perception of the place could be a bit misleading. Anyway I found the place quite nice and lively. Only problem was that there were only 4 showers and a single toilet for the entire floor.

Raw Japan
Slices of Japanese business, politics and life
Silver linings
Japan, which already has a "Golden Week" holiday period in spring, is currently in the midst of a new five-day holiday run, dubbed "Silver Week", including its "Respect for the Aged" and autumnal equinox holidays.
September, formerly a month with single national holidays in different weeks, now has them linked, largely thanks to a "Happy Monday" law passed in 2000 that rolls over any national holidays on a Sunday and makes holidays of any days in between such breaks.
Indeed, despite its image as a Spartan, never-take-vacation society, the relaxing truth is Japan has at least 15 national holidays and potentially more depending on the day of the week the holiday falls. While none of these are in the month when many Japanese actually do take vacation — August – it works out for even the hardest working salary-man or -woman to at least three weeks to more than a month off a year.
This may not make European unions envious yet, but compared to the United States with 10 public holidays and a few following days off, it's a substantial commitment by the state to leisure, and arguably a lucrative pump-priming for the domestic and international travel industry until this year.

Every Sunday, we'll publish a quick Q&A with someone from the local political world. Instead of touching on the latest in policy issues and proposed legislation, the intent is to catch a glimpse of the person behind the title. The interviews are done via email.
Michael P. Kearns
The basics
Age: 43
Job title: New York State Assemblymember
Family: Erin Kearns (wife) and McKenna Kearns (daughter).
Education: Canisius College, Erie Community College
Party affiliation: Democratic
Salary: $79,500
The questions
What's one thing people don't know about you?
I was hired by the DEA and received the highest security clearance to serve as a Paralegal Forefeit Asset Specialist. As part of the position I was required to attend training in Quantico, Virginia and work in Rochester. In a twist of fate the federal government was shut down before training was scheduled to begin and I pursued a different path.
Who's your political hero?
I have a few political heroes, I admire: Lincoln's leadership, Kennedy's eloquence and Jimmy Griffin's tenacity.
What's the worst part of your job?
Although they are 100% behind me and supportive of my decision, leaving my family to work in Albany is the hardest part of my job.
What was the toughest thing to get used to about working in Albany?
I get paid to do what I love and that is serve in the New York State Assembly, which gives me the opportunity to make changes in people's lives. Although Albany can be challenging, for me the definition of tough is when my father chose to make his living by running into burning buildings for 30 years to help save lives. In comparison to that the challenges in Albany aren't really tough.
Did serving on the Council prepare you for your job in the Assembly?
I believe my tenure on the Buffalo Common Council gave me the ability to hit the ground running in Albany. In three months I was able to pass two bills. As former chairman of the Waterfront Committee and advocate for Buffalo's waterfront I was able to pass a bill in the Assembly, which would bring greater transparency to the process of developing Buffalo's waterfront.
As a councilmember I was the lead sponsor for licensing property managers in the City of Buffalo. I was able to take my experience regarding this issue and pass a bill that makes banks more responsible to the community and local municipalities regarding upkeep and maintence of run down properties.
As chairman of the Finance Committee, which oversaw a city budget of over $500 million, I was able to take this experience in the Common Council and contribute to a state budget that closed the state's $3.5 billion budget deficit without any new taxes, fees, or gimmicks, while increasing funding for our schools and vital health care and jobs programs.

Erik Kain, Contributor
I write about video games: the industry and the culture.
The animal rights organization's anti-Pokémon game is only the latest in a long parade of silly protests.
PETA has once again made headlines in its endless crusade to…make headlines, this time by protesting the latest Pokémon game.
"Aside from the fact that this is clearly a lame attempt to attract publicity on the back of a major video game release," writes Forbes video game writer David Ewalt, "PETA seems to have missed the single biggest theme of the Pokémon series: That Pokémon should be treated humanely and live as our equals."
The animal rights group has a long history of missing the point. They have an even longer history of trying to gain attention whether or not that attention will further their supposed cause.
Nor is this the first time the anti-Pokémon group has come out against video games and their digital "cruelty" toward animals.
I can count four other times video games have come into the PETA crosshairs.
1. PETA urges players to save the seals in World of Warcraft
Way, way back in 2009 PETA urged its members to log in to World of Warcraft and do battle against seal hunters in the Level 70+ region of the Howling Fjord where apparently Horde players were clubbing a bunch of digital baby seals to death.
"Thrall refused to ban the slaughter of seals, despite multiple requests from the Alliance to do so, because Orgrimmar stands to make a large profit from the fur," PETA said in a blog post on the matter.
Talk about slacktivism.
This might all seem like good, clean fun – a way to get the kids involved maybe – if it weren't for what happened to Mario two years later.
2. PETA launches an anti-Mario campaign over the Tanooki suit
Not only did PETA launch an anti Mario campaign in 2011 over his famous Tanooki suit, they made a violent, bloody browser-based video game about it – the spiritual predecessor, if you will, to their little Pokémon game.
The really ludicrous thing about this campaign is that the Tanooki suit was first spotted in North America in 1990, when the suit was discovered by multitudes of gamers (including yours truly) in Super Mario Bros. 3. It was a delightful find, too, giving us the power of flight.
This is why millions of gamers, to this day, wear raccoon suits and other fur items wherever we go.
Of course, PETA would have none of it – 21 years later – stating that "Tanukis are real-life raccoon dogs who are beaten and, as PETA's undercover exposés show, often skinned alive for their fur."
Just like in Super Mario Bros.
3. Call of Duty is apparently violent toward animals
When I think about Call of Duty I often think about killing people.
And not just because the franchise has gone so far down hill. Also because that's what you do in Call of Duty. You kill and kill and kill some more.
And most of the organic life forms you shoot full of bullets or burn to death happen to be homo sapiens.
But according to PETA, the real problem with Call of Duty is that it contains cruelty to dogs.
Mercifully, the anti-fun organization decided to forgo making a hideously violent 2D sidescroller and instead sent Activision a care basket including copies of Nintendogs.
4. Watch Out Dishonored, PETA says Battlefield 3 is cruel to rats
There must be an ethical dilemma when it comes to cats and rats. Cats kill rats, and that – if I'm not mistaken – qualifies as cruelty toward animals.
So what's to be done with the cats? Pretty soon we have a reverse of the Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly rhyme on our hands.
But I digress.
In 2011, a German wing of PETA protested Battlefield 3 over its cruelty to rats. Apparently in one mission you can stab a rat with a knife.
Having spent the last few days hacking entire swarms of rats to death, I can only imagine what the organization will have to say about Arkane Studios' latest assassin game, Dishonored.
I mean, I don't suppose it matters that it was them or me….
5. PETA spoofs indie game Super Meat Boy by making Super Tofu Boy
I knew I missed something. Here's a latecomer to the #5 slot.
PETA made a spoof of the hit indie game Super Meat Boy by casting Meat Boy as the new villain and Tofu boy as the new hero.
Developer Team Meat responded later by adding Tofu Boy as a playable character.
What's Missing?
There are many glaring holes in PETA's protests of video games.
No Duck Hunt? No Big Game Hunter? What gives?
Oh, and thanks to jerks like me covering this bad crazy, you can probably expect a bunch more browser-based games from the video game developer qua animal rights group qua attention-mongers.
Though this last one must violate copyright…mustn't it?
In all seriousness though, this is like the flimsier version of the "Shooter killed 15 people because of Call of Duty" argument we see every time the press encounters a mass shooting with even the most tangential relationship to video games.
And I know…I really do…none of this should get us riled up, and we'd all be better off ignoring it. But I can't help myself. It's all so silly, how can we not pay attention to it?
At some point the folks at PETA are going to need to do some soul-searching and figure out how they can be taken seriously again.
These video game stunts are far milder than many of the crazy practices the organization engages in on a regular basis, some of which have real-world repercussions especially to medical advances.
Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. Read my Forbes blog here.
This isn't the first time PETA has tried to destroy our childhood. Here's a slideshow of other things PETA has tried to take down ;)
It's actually really funny. One thing that I hate to admit is that the game is actually very well done. The look, the music, it looks so nice but how many hours did they put into this, when they could have been doing something else within the real world. I have a hard time understanding their reason for making this aside from the fact that they want attention. Making this will not stop me from buying the new pokemon game of protesting the series. Pokemon was a part of my childhood and I hate them for trying to ruin it for me.
Another thing is that, I was on an article regarding the mario tanooki game and a commenter, claiming to be a person who does not support PETA but who is against the fur trade, argued with the other commenters saying that the game was not attacking Mario but the fur trade and that those who were offended at the inaccurate portrayal of Mario were those without compassion for animals, even though it was OBVIOUSLY attacking Mario. If PETA wanted to spread these messages through browser games, they should use the mechanics but change the characters if anything!
Also, I'm not familiar with copyright laws but are they protected under parody and free speech?
This is hilarious :) .
It's fascinating that the people at PETA can't value their own time enough to see how they are embarrassing themselves.
something like 90% of what they take in goes to paying for administration. I think only 1% actually goes to helping animals.
Thats enough corruption for me to write them off.
Don't forget the nonsense over the Super Tofu Boy, the Super Meat Boy parody. The SMB developers proceeded to troll PETA and add in the hilarious Tofu Boy as a playable character.
In terms of using media events to bring attention to their issues, well, I'm not sure I can reall get angry at them for that.
In a case of don't shoot the messanger, I don't see the problem with using a silly and quite cynical release by Nintendo (i.e. one motivated purely by profit seeking), to bring attention to issues of animal cruelty in an attempt to get, espcecially young people and kids, more aware of it in their own lives.
This goes to "Me Again"'s point above. Using something famous to make a pardoy of that thing to effectively make a point against certain ancillery
pushed the submit button too early.
Suffice it to say, I don't see how the parody hurts anyone, or misinforms them, or being used for the benefit of Peta, rather than purely as a tool for advocacy.
PETA has been a joke for quite some time now- though it does always cause a stir when they protest in our town by bringing in the naked femail PETA volunteers painted with tiger stripes and locked in a cage.
They seem to think animals are people, which is really quite insulting to the intelligence. Because their true purpose isn't to have animals ethically treated, but to give animals human rights, their arguments have fallen flat, and this sort of thing is what they're left with.
The Pokemon one, however, is a new low. Think about the progression this way-
1. PETA starts off by protesting real harm done to real animals.
2. PETA starts protesting harm to real animals, but even where the pain is somewhat minimalized (such as in a slaughterhouse)
3. PETA protests the depiction of harm to real animals (such as in a movie)
4. PETA protests the depiction of harm to animated versions of real animals (such as the Mario thing, I guess?)
5. PETA protests the depiction of harm done to animated versions of mythical creatures that don't exist in reality.
6. Next, PETA will hold a book-burning of the Lord of the Rings trilogy because of all the violence against Orcs.
But orcs are sentient and therefore not animals and therefore not worthy of human rights.
Can't you into logic, man?
Honestly, nothing PETA does any more gets me at all riled up. They've really just become a parody of themselves, and they were never able to be taken very seriously to begin with. When they keep missing the point and doing these ridiculous things over and over and over again, all it really does is undermine what little credibility they may have had to begin with. They're only hurting themselves with these idiotic crusades, so I say let them keep doing it.
If nothing else, PETA can provide you with a good laugh. I played their Pokemon game and cracked up the whole time. It's awful, yes, but hilariously awful.
