When it comes to ranking fantasy players, there is always going to be some disagreement about where certain guys belong on the draft board. But every year, there seems to be a player or two who causes massive divide in the room — some think he's going to have a huge season while others see him as a likely bust. In 2010, one of those guys is Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald.
Spending significant time working on the PFW/Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Football Guide 2010 over the past month, it's become obvious to me that Fitzgerald is someone people have very different opinions of as it relates to his fantasy value for the upcoming season. After he was the No. 1-ranked player at his position entering the '09 campaign, a fair number of fantasy pundits have their doubts about what kind of numbers Fitz will post this year — and virtually none of these worries is related to the wideout's abilities.
Nobody doubts that from a talent perspective, Fitzgerald is one of the most special players in the league at any position. At 6-3, 217 pounds, the 26-year-old can do just about everything one would expect from an elite receiver. He has the speed to beat his defender deep, the hands to make tough grabs in traffic, the body control to adjust to balls in the air and the elusiveness to pick up yards after the catch, just to name a few of his qualities. A good guy off the field as well, any NFL club would take him in an instant.
So why does Fitzgerald have numerous doubters this season? Easy: His quarterback is named Matt Leinart, not Kurt Warner. While the likely Hall of Famer Warner, who retired this offseason, was extremely accurate — his 65.5 completion percentage ranks as the second-best in league history — and had a clear rapport with Fitzgerald, the connection between Fitz and Leinart isn't quite as well established. And having posted very mediocre stats during his four-year career, Leinart hasn't exactly endeared himself to the fantasy community.
Playing in 12 games and starting 11 during his '06 rookie season — one in which expectations were very high for the first-rounder following a decorated career at USC — Leinart was very average, throwing for 212.3 yards per game with 11 TD passes, 12 interceptions and a horrifying 56.8 completion percentage. His production was even worse in Year Two, but his '07 season ended after just five games due to a fractured collarbone. Since that injury, he's started exactly one game, replacing an injured Warner at Tennessee last season.
Meanwhile, as Leinart sat on the bench, Fitzgerald and Warner went on to form of one the league's most dangerous tandems. From 2007-09, Fitz averaged 97.7 receptions, 1,310.7 yards and 11.7 TDs, placing him squarely atop the fantasy wideout heap. If Warner were returning in 2010, Fitzgerald almost definitely would be ranked in the top two at his position — only Andre Johnson would have a strong argument to be ahead of him. With Leinart as his QB, though, some experts are ready to knock Fitz out of their top 10. But is that fair?
Based on Leinart's track record, it's certainly understandable. The 27-year-old has a 57.1 career completion percentage, a 14-20 TD-INT ratio, has only one 300-yard outing and has never thrown more than two TDs in a game. He's been far from a superstar, and given the QB's history of struggles, Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt has already said that he expects to run the ball this season more than he has in the past, a clear sign that he doesn't trust Leinart to air it out the way Warner did.
But while there are some obvious reasons not to like Fitzgerald as much in '10, not every aspect of the receiver's outlook is pointing down. The trade to Baltimore of WR Anquan Boldin, Fitz's running mate during his entire tenure in Arizona, means that No. 11 will be the definite focal point of the offense. With 24 TDs over the past three seasons, Boldin was notorious for taking away targets in the red zone. Although his departure means that Fitzgerald likely will see added defensive attention, it also means that he will get a ton of looks around the goal line, so his scoring numbers could actually go up. And if the Arizona ground game works as well as the team expects, it could free up Fitz and Co. from having to deal with extra DBs, as opponents will have to respect the run.
There are positives and negatives galore here, which is one of the main reasons opinions are so split on Fitzgerald. To me, however, it's a bit early to start predicting a downfall for a player of Fitz's caliber. He is so good at catching off-target passes that Leinart won't necessarily have to be right on the money with every throw to his No. 1 receiver. Even with defenses keying on him more than ever, Fitzgerald should see so many looks now that Boldin is gone that he should still be able to produce at a high rate. And it's not like this QB-WR duo hasn't played together before — of Leinart's 14 career TD passes, no one has caught more than Fitzgerald (five), and none of the guys who snagged the other nine is currently on the Cards' roster.
Go ahead and call Fitzgerald a second-tier fantasy receiver if you want, but if anyone can overcome a less-than-ideal situation, it's Fitzgerald. Something tells me he'll find a way to get it done, if not quite at his previous level, then pretty darn close. A more mature, committed Leinart will also be better than expected, and he won't be a major hindrance to the wideout's value. The upside with Fitzgerald might not be quite what it once was, but letting him slip too far in fantasy drafts would be a major mistake.

FieldContainer hbox layout is extremely recalcitrant
FieldContainer hbox layout is extremely recalcitrant
I'm trying to use a FieldContainer with the layout set to hbox so that each text field will be on the same line. My problem is that in addition to having to hard-code a height in order to see items within it, as soon as I set a "margin: 0 5 0 0" for the first two (of three) text boxes, those two text boxes instantly become taller than the remaining text box. I've attached the project here to make it easier than trying to paste it within this post.
How can I create a FieldContainer in Ext Designer with three text boxes all on the one line, and so that each text box is the same height (with that height being the normal default height for text fields)? I've re-done this FieldContainer a dozen times today (it seems) because as soon as I try something, it suddenly won't show anything in it and I have to start all over again. I'm at a loss to try to get this to behave the same as the FieldContainer Example.
26 Oct 2011 3:57 PM #2
Hi Marc,
Whats your version of Designer?
I am using 1.2.2 and am able to set margins on the fields. See if attached project works for you.
26 Oct 2011 4:45 PM #3
I guess my point was that they're very fiddly to setup right. For starters the height is 120 by default, and if you don't set it to about 22 the fields look way bigger than the rest. If it's set to hbox/stretch/start|end then I would have thought it should be as high as the items within it rather than having to play with the height of the field container to make it look like all the others (see attached). And you have to specify a margin - even 0 - on the last field or else it's not as tall as the others with right margins. Maybe this could be improved in a future version down the track? I'm using 1.2.2 build 48.
I've also found that a hbox layout for a simple container with buttons in it looks OK in Designer, but if you save and exit and come in again, the buttons are mostly off the edge/invisible and you have to set the layout on the container to auto and back to hbox again to get them to show the way they did successfully before (added to attached XDS file, too). The hbox layout seems a bit buggy in designer at the moment.
26 Oct 2011 7:59 PM #4
I see the same problem... I'm using Designer 1.2.2.r48
Hbox is very buggy right now...
It makes me not want to use it.Perfection as a goal is a nice idea that can point one in a specific direction. However, since "perfection" is an ever changing (evolving?) and moving target, one must admit that perfection can never be obtained...
When in doubt, check the d4mn source code!

It seems that items in a hbox are spontaneously sprouting a "flex: 1" attribute after opening a project that was saved when the hbox looked fine.
3 Nov 2011 12:53 PM #7
With regard to the buttons:
When you add those buttons into an hbox container it's going to give them flex 1 by default. If you remove the flex (click the x next to it) Designer will respect your wish to not have a flex. This is different than removing the 1 (backspace). I agree that this is not documented and not intuitive and potentially needs addressing.
With regard to wanting default height fields in your hbox container:
If you want this to occur you'll need to set alignment of the container to something other than stretch or stretchmax. This is by designPhil Strong

Success! Looks like we've fixed this one. According to our records the fix was applied for DSGNR-870 in a recent build.

Old-school beer from a completely different world, essentially a staple beverage from Eastern Europe that is brewed with bread, fruit and other flavorings. A low-alcohol beer that is generally no more than 2-percent ABV. Beaver Brewing is perhaps one of the only US breweries that produces this style year-round. An amazing brew for what it is.

The world of kvass is littered with a whole mess of utterly atrocious (mostly Russian produced) garbage out there. So, frankly, it wouldn't be too hard to show them up. Regardless, this is a really nice production. Bready tones are clearly evident. (surprise!) And there is somewhat of a sweet tone that comes across. Mmm. I just got a nice hit of grain on there. Seems like wheat, which reminds me that this looks like a wit or hefe at first sight. The overall verdict is that this is pretty nice. Seems a bit heavy on my stomach, but I am guessing that is because this is a fresh beer and there is all that bread involved. Hey...I wonder what kind of bread he used for this...

Got this growler in the Tasting Partners BIF. Thanks.
A: Pours a thin, cloudy straw. There is almost no head, but there are a few sickly looking raisins floating in my glass.
S: Smells of yeasty bread, some sweet malt, and some serious sour.
T: Tastes sours and acidic. The finish is dry with some of the tartness lingering around. The raisins do cut the tartness with a bit of sweet, but I wouldn't recommend trying to eat one.
M: A light-bodied beer that is extremely thin. But what do you expect from a 1.7% abv behemoth? It finishes dry.
O: I'm glad to have tried this beer, but I wouldn't want it again. It wasn't the worst thing I've ever had, but it was far from good.

Growler picked up in the Tasting Partner BIF
Um well lets see its a very light yellow with a few bloated raisins jumping around, whispy white ring around the edge.
Smell is lightly of raisins and a bit of malty booze.
Taste is tart a bit weird all I can think of is this tastes sort of what I imagine fermented fresh cut hay field.. ok my girlfriend insisted we eat a raisin, multiply the taste ten fold and its a bit shocking. As its warmed its taken on a diluted apple juice thing.
Mouthfeel is light crisp drying
overall I had no idea what to expect here and still not sure I do. it grows on you a bit but still nothing to seek out.

Thanks to a generous trader for this growler. Served in a tulip at our Christmas in July party last weekend. Currently the #1 Kvass.
Comes in a clear growler with loads of spherical raisins floating in it. Some are at the bottom. When opened, all the raisins rise to the top. Dr. Abmuh says this is because there was trapped CO2 within them and they rise when the pressure is released. Something like that. Cloudy yellow. Really cool presentation overall. Onto the beer.
The nose brings forward a bit of light straw malt and bread plus a mild raisin character. Almost a bit wheaty. The flavor takes more of the wheat character and everything is distinctively bready. There's some mild sweetness. The mouthfeel takes the flavor over, as it's oddly dry and bitter. Very strange, as it's not a hop-like bitterness. Not bad, though not something I would return to.

Growler shared by Thorpe429. Thanks Mike!
Currently the #1 kvass.
The beer appears extremely hazy and yellow hued, like a hefeweizen without the towering, white cap. Some decent lacing is left behind. The growler contains several dozen buoyant raisins, many of which defected into my snifter.
The aroma is funky and smells similar to a berlinerweiss.
The flavor brings some light funk, weizen like flavors, and some fusel alcohol. If it weren't for the unusual and slightly off putting alcohol scent and flavor, this beer would be top notch. Additionally, I would prefer this beer without raisins.
There is an odd bitterness, most notably in the finish. The body is very thin, of course, with this being a 1.8% session beer. Highly drinkable.
Overall, I really enjoyed this beer. This is my third kvass, and my favorite so far. This kvass was remarkably different than the previous two. It seems that this style has a broad interpretation. A fun and interesting experience. I would definitely have this again.

At the time of this review, this is the #1 Kvas on beeradvocate. A growler shared by Thorpe429 last night, beer served in a snifter. I have had 5 Kvas, this was not the best and was not the worst, out of the 5 I've had, I'd place this one in the #3 spot.
First, growler is clear (why) the beer is yellow and hazy with raisins (I hope) floating in it. Forms a great looking head of small white bubbles, no lacing, but nice carbonation. OK it looks pretty good.
Aroma is odd, I described it last night as a "weak smelling hefeweizen" -- it has this bouquet of esters that reminds me cloves and bananas, mild overall, grainy.
Beer is thin and bright on the palate, easy drinking overall. The lead off is mildly sweet, the midpalate is yeasty and the finish is dry and oddly bitter. There seems to be a disconnect in the Kvas "style". Some go toward the sweet, some go toward the dry. This one falls more on the dry side but that odd bitterness that I interpret at fusel is just a little too off-putting for me to recommend it as a "good" example. I don't think I'd have it again but I think I'm going to take a break from the Kvas style for a while.

My first taste of a Kvass, I might have passed it over as being an oddity except for an excellent description/story about the beer from the brewer Dan at a tasting at Bocktown; in Robinson, PA.
One must not come into this expecting a normal pale session beer. According to information I looked up about it, this is a truly authentic rendition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvass
I must say this is my new favorite summer session refreshing beer. The light hint of lemon mixed with the sugar from the raisins and the yeastyness of the bread mix together to make a very refreshing treat on a hot summer day. The slightly higher than normal carbonation helps with the refreshing aspect.
My guess is this is a drink that is either loved or hated, with few in between.
And of course, always ask for the raisins in the growler. :)

I was fortunate to have this age old beer through a friend's growler. Prior to both tasting and this review I did a quick read on this style and was pleased with its authenticity. I should note this is my first Kvass but it leaves a lot to live up to for the rest. Now on to it….
This pours a very pale yellow, almost like real lemonade in color. There is very little hop aroma, owning up to its ability to be served to younger children in its origins. The smell matched up to the paleness but offered slight hints of its bread core. It has a citrus finish and a drinkability ranking up with cold lemonade on a summer day. To that point, I may have to try that. Glad I was able to add this to my palate.

I think I should mention that so far Beaver Brewing Growlers haven't held up for even small amounts of time for me, so I would suggest not trading these beers yet (see my IPorterA review). That is really just my opinion though.
Beaver Brewing's Kvass is a surprisingly light color, with a cloudy yellow body. A small, soapy, white head appears and leaves a little bit of lacing behind. Other Kvass that I have seen tend to be darker, in color, with brownish bodies. Not sure if that means anything, but I like how this one looks regardless.
There is a lot of wheat in the aroma and a nice citrus aroma. Light spice smells and some raisin. There might be just a touch of sourness also.
I think this one is my favorite out of the group of Beaver beers that I got to try. A ton of bready wheat makes up the backbone, and it is quite pleasant. The lemony, citrus flavors are very nice and somewhat refreshing. Some raisin and some herbal flavors come through also. A part of me is still convinced there is just a hint of funky sourness in there somewhere, but a part of me thinks it is either in my head or just some twang from the wheat. Whatever it is, it's pretty pleasant.
Light body.
This beer is a winner. Refreshing and low alcohol, this would be a great one to drink all day while doing things out in the sun. Grab this beer if you get a chance.

This drink pours a pale yellow honey color with a small half finger head. Carbonation bubbles are visible although minimal. Dissipate quickly.
The aroma is overwhelmingly yeasty and bready. Faint citrus notes. Almost no hop aroma.
Tastes very doughy/yeasty...there is a citrus aftertaste that really saves it from being completely one-dimensional. Get some raisin taste as well as orange peel.
Mouthfeel is thin. Definitely a light bodied beer. Slight carbonation.
Overall I would say this is moreso a fun and interesting beverage than it is a beer. A unique style for sure. Good on a summer day or if you like to expirement with new styles.

A big thanks goes out to TMoney2591 for helping me with my first Kvass tick (probably the last).
A: very cloudy appearance, pale yellow color, no head
S: the yeast is incredibly prominent on the nose with notes of sourdough and sweet potato. Very weird combination of aromas are presented here, but I don't think they add up all that nicely. Somewhat off putting.
T: very tart with notes of lemon, orange, and wheat. The yeast comes in strong just like the nose and adds a funky bready character
MF: high carbonation, light body
O: not a big fan at all, definitely an interesting style of beer, but I must say that I can see why many breweries stay away from this style

Thanks to TMoney2591 for sharing this beer
I'm fairly certain, I'm gonna be the buzz kill on the reviews for this beer. I've tried many variants of kvass, all of which are Kyle's fault. I hope that this one which is a different take on the style improves the style that is usually mediocre at best.
This beer pours an translucent saffron color with a thick frothy head on the surface. The appearance wasn't what made it unappetizing to me. The sulfurous aroma however was absolutely what I would consider the worst aspect of this beer. There was a lot of bread yeast aroma behind the sulfur as well. The taste was rather bland. I would say it tasted like water with bread yeast in it. Like yeast in luke warm water that you are trying to prep to make homemade bread. The mouthfeel is thin but fine. Overall, I don't think I could ever get into this beer. I'm not sure what everyone was tasting with it, but it sure as heck didn't taste all that great to me.

What better way for the Original Kvass Kick to continue chuggin' along than to revisit the roots of the style? None, say I. Allegedly, the boys at Beaver brewed this in the traditional manner, including leaving it out on the windowsill. Nice. It pours a cloudy sallow topped by about a finger or so of stark white foam. Off-hand, I wouldn't think this was even a kvass, given the general darkness of nearly every other example presented to me. The nose comprises soapy chive, rye bread, rosemary, sage, and coriander. What a slightly odd, though mostly pleasant, spice cabinet odor. The taste is pretty mild, with notes of wheat, light onion, light chive, light fennel, and some very light coriander. A pinch of pepper may or may not have been thrown in for good measure. Honestly, given the description of the ingredients and the process, I expected more of a robust flavor SOMEwhere in here, but it's still pretty nice, if overtly inoffensive. The body is a weirdly hefty-feeling light, with a light moderate carbonation and a kinda watery feel. Overall, a pretty damn nice traditional kvass, a welcome alternative to the sadder, more soda-like varieties that seem to pop up much more often. We need more of these more old-school types 'round here, dammit!

look: 4 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5
Big thanks to Tedwarhc for hooking me up with this. This is only my second kvass and the first one made true to procedure. Thus, I have no idea how to rate this, but I'll do my best.
4.0 A: Hazed straw yellow color. Just a touch of white froth that quickly fell.
5.0 S: I'm in utter shock that a fermented beverage that tops out at 1.8% ABV can have this much aroma. Good amount of funkiness that can only be described as garbage-like. Surprisingly not that bready, but that might just be because of the mega-low ABV. Lemon peel and wheat come through well while the raisin adds a strange layer of complexity, but not the way you'd expect. Quite amazing how potent this is.
4.5 T: The taste is not as intensely funky, but still have a good funky kick. The funk this time gets out of the landfill and into the dirt (it's an earthy funkiness). Reasonably gerthy wheat flavor like a berliner on roids. Raisin comes through in the same goofy way as the nose, but works really well. Lemon peel adds a lightly tart extra dimension. Very good.
3.5 M: The mouthfeel is the only thing I'm not crazy about. I think this would be better with a bit more carbonation to combat the light, watery body. Goes down as easy as water though, but with a hell of a lot more enjoyment on the part of the drinker.
4.5 D: If this was still drinkibility, this would be an easy 5. I could drink this all damn day for months. This has a wonderful taste and a completely wonderful an potent nose.
The strangest part about this beer is that it tastes nothing like the East End kvass. Not even a little bit. Both are excellently tasty and indeed I don't think I could choose one if forced to. I would need to have them both.

Pours a hazy straw like color with a tight skim head and a little bit of lace. The aroma is of breadiness and some sweetness. The taste has a nice sourdough breadiness to it, with a hint of sweetness and a bit of grainess. The mouthfeel is moderately carbonated. Overall very solid, true to the style and a very easy very enjoyable drink.

Got his at Growler sales today at the brewery from Dan. I was kind of surprised from this one, I have tasted a few kvass style beers before and they were uber sour. This was more subtle. Lemon and slight malt are in there. Very easy to drink. the low alcohol probably comes into play here. I could see drinking this in the summer on hot days wehen you are drinking all day. Very cool, glad I tried it.
The raisins in the growler give this a 5 for appearnace.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
A: Pours a very light yellowish color, almost like a lemonade. Provides a nice white foam head that quickly dissipates.
S: Some mild hints of bread and yeast along with some raisins (they were put in the growler).
T: A lot stronger then the smell lets on in turns of flavor and taste. Starts off bready/yeasty almost citrusy, in the middle the bready flavors are blended with some light barley (I think) and finishes with some bready and dark fruit (raisins) flavor.
M: Very light and very crisp. Long linger taste left on the palate.
O: I did not know what to expect from the brew, but I must say, I enjoyed it a lot. It is very easy to drink. Would enjoy this on a hot humid day. After reading the style notes, I think this is pretty spot on!

UT-Battelle donates $450K for 'distance learning'
UT-Battelle, managing contractor at ORNL, today donated $450,000 to Knox County's Great Schools Partnership, with the money dedicated to distance learning programs in science and math. The money will enable the 14 high schools in Knox County and those in surrounding counties to share courses in difficult-to-staff areas. Here's a link to Lola Alapo's story at Knoxnews.com.

By BRAD KELLAR
Herald-Banner Staff
Hunt County's representatives in Austin said they had anticipated Monday's ruling by Judge John Dietz that the system Texas uses to fund public schools violates the state's constitution.
But State Senator Bob Deuell (R-Greenville) and State Representative Dan Flynn (R-Van) both noted it will be at least a few more months before a final decision will be announced.
"It is going to be appealed to the Texas Supreme Court," Flynn said.
"They are talking maybe this summer," Deuell said of when a ruling could come from the high court.
Dietz ruled the funding mechanism does not meet the constitutional requirement for a fair and efficient system that provides a general diffusion of knowledge.
Both Deuell and Flynn said the system as it stands now does not provide sufficient funding to rural school districts, including those in Hunt County.
"The rural school areas are just getting beaten up," Flynn said.
In 2005, Dietz found the previous funding system unconstitutional and directed the Legislature to devise a new one.
At issue in this case are $5.4 billion in cuts to schools and education grant programs the Legislature imposed in 2011, but the districts say simply restoring that funding won't be enough to fix a fundamentally flawed system.
"For us it is cutting our arm off," Flynn said of the cuts, which affect smaller and rural districts more than larger districts. "The rural districts cannot meet the state accreditation standards without more funding."
One example of the inadequacy of the system as it stands now, Flynn said is that when such court rulings are issued, school districts in larger metropolitan areas have attorneys retained and staff members available to review the cases to determine their impact.
"We're likely to have the assistant secretary having to look into it all, and that's not fair," Flynn said.
Deuell said whatever decision comes down from the Texas Supreme Court will also affect the state's overall financial picture.
"We're going to meet and see what we'll do with the budget at this point," Deuell said. "We'll just have to look at the ruling and see how the Supreme Court may go with it."

About Assassin's Creed 2
Assassin's Creed II is the product of over two years of intensive development by the original creative team behind the Assassin's Creed brand. In a vast open world environment, the game invites players to incarnate Ezio, a privileged young noble in Renaissance Italy who's been betrayed by the rival ruling families of Italy. Ezio's subsequent quest for vengeance plunges players into a captivating and epic story that offers more variety in missions, surprising and engaging new gameplay elements, diverse weapons and a profound character progression that will appeal to fans of the original Assassin's Creed as well as entice players new to the brand.

We like

See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
An assassin's job is to eliminate a target with cunning stealth, blend in with a crowd, and when necessary use brute force to accomplish his objective. They live in the underbelly of society, but appear as an everyman, only to pounce on helpless prey with lightening fast attacks. This was the premise of Ubisoft's finely crafted Assassin's Creed, which despite some minor gameplay flaws went on to become one of...

Halloween is Wednesday—have you found a costume yet?
No? Well, Patch is here to inspire you.
Borrow one of the costume ideas below, or use them to kickstart a brainstorm and let the creativity flow. Got some great costume suggestions of your own? Share them in the comments section at the bottom of the article.
Here are some picks for a variety of homemade Halloween costumes:
- God's Gift to Men/Women: This can be as simple or as elaborate as you'd like. Take a few cardboard boxes and used the material to make a you-sized box. Cut a head and arm holes in it. Then wrap the box in your favorite wrapping paper. Get in. Complete your outfit with a ribbon on your head and a giant gift tag that says: "To: Men, From: God." (I won a costume contest with this one in 2006.)
- A Mummy: I was a mummy the year I wanted to put about 10 minutes of time into crafting a costume. All you need? Toilet paper. Do it yourself, or have someone help, by wrapping toilet paper all around you. Then go crazy with face paint or makeup to finish the effect.
- Go Political: It's a great year to go as Mitt Romney or Barack Obama (maybe even Big Bird?) Just dress up in a suit and tie and carry props such as a binder (for Mitt) or a birth certificate (for The Prez).
- Thrift Store Threads: Thrift stores are great places to find cheap, fun costume ideas. Think '80s snowsuits, lumberjack flannels or adult onesie pajamas. I even found an Easter bunny costume at a thrift store one time for $9. Major score. Check out Out of the Closet on Fair Oaks.
- Giant Pumpkin: You know those lawn leaf bags in the shape of a pumpkin? They make a great costume. Just cut leg, arm and head holes in the bag, reinforce the holes with tape so they don't rip, and fill with you, plus leaves, tissue paper or newspaper.
- Jelly Bean Jar: Find a clear garbage bag and make it wearable following the steps in the "Giant Pumpkin" costume above. Blow up a bunch of balloons and stuff the bag. Write "Jelly Beans $.10" with a Sharpie and you're good to go.
Best Last-Minute Advice:
• Keep it simple: When I struggle with creativity, I try to think simple. What common, everyday items would make fun, easy-to-assemble costumes? One year as a kid, I used an old screen from the backdoor and became a fly swatter (my friend was a Christmas tree—needing not much more than a green shirt, brown pants and a string of lights). Another year, my sister, her husband and I went as utensils—we wore gray clothing and made knife, fork and spoon heads out of cardboard wrapped in tin foil. And in college, a friend and I dressed as salt and pepper—she in a white sweater and me in black, with tin foil hats and the letters "S" and "P" taped to our fronts. Stuck for ideas for that last-minute Halloween party? Take a look around your kitchen, bedroom or bathroom and get inspired.

Twins Sign Two More Minor League F/A
According to Matt Eddy of Baseball America, the Twins have signed two minor league free agents who have spent time in the big leagues.
32-year-old SS Doug Bernier hit .201 (.560 OPS) last year for Empire Island. He went 0-4 for the Rockies in 2008.
29-year-old OF Antoan Richardson played primarily AA ball last year. In 2011, he went 2-4 for the Braves in 9 games. Speed guy.
My guess would be that neither one of them will play in the organization in 2013, but could be utility types.

Philosophy Department
Minoring in Philosophy
The Philosophy minor requires five courses chosen in consultation with the Philosophy Department's undergraduate advisor. There is considerable flexibility in the choice of the five courses, though at least two must be upper-level courses (i.e., with a number above 202), and it is desirable for there to be at least some thematic unity in the selection. The following are examples of possible themes around which one could build a Philosophy minor (though it is not required to conform to any of these):
- Philosophy of Science: PHL 110, 252, and three other courses in philosophy of science. Courses include PHL 105, 106, 218, 243, 244, 250-259.
- Ethics: PHL 102 or 103 and four other courses in ethics and related areas. Courses include PHL 102, 103, 220-230, 308.
- History of Philosophy: PHL 201 and 202 and three other courses in the history of philosophy. Courses include PHL 221, 260-269, 303, 318-324.
Note also that several Philosophy Department faculty members are involved in the interdisciplinary legal studies minor.

For the third consecutive year, 11-time surfing World Champion Kelly Slater, 40, has won the Hurley Pro surf competition at Lower Trestles at San Onofre State Beach. He took home a prize purse of $105,000 Thursday, as well as 10,000 World Championship Tour points.
Slater overtook Australian Joel Parkinson, 31, with a total heat score of 16.50, Parkinson's score a 14.00.
"I had those heats where Joel seemed to get the good waves, I didn't have my mojo," said Slater. "I guess my bad waves over-took his good waves, but it's been a real blessing to surf Trestles."
This win moves Slater from fourth to third in the Association of Surfing Professional's rankings.
Sunny skies with patchy fog and three- to five-foot surf made for great conditions for the final day of the contest, which was moved from Saturday to Thursday. Lower Trestles is the sixth stop on the elite ASP World Championship Tour.
"These are the best sort of days and on the last days of the competition, we want to finish with as much swell we can possibly get," ASP Contest Director Pat O'Connell told Patch. "Conditions are beautiful now that the fog is gone."
For a brief, 45-minute window, patchy fog settled over the break making it hard for judges and spectators to watch the quarter-final heat of Brazilian match-up Gabriel Medina and Adriano De Souza. De Souza eliminated the fellow Brazilian, who won this year's Nike Lowers Pro.
The world's top surfers produced an arsenal of fins-free carves, a plethora of aerial maneuvers as well as pure cat-and-mouse-like games in their heats.
In the semi-finals, Slater was matched up with Australian Mick Fanning, who is currently rated number one on the WCT and also took the win at Trestles in 2009. Though Fanning produced powerful carves on the infamous lowers right, Slater caught mostly lefts and launched a series of aerial maneuvers to over-take Fanning and go on to the finals, where he was matched with Parkinson.
"Parko [Parkison] needs this win more than Kelly, the win gives you the mojo," said Announcer and surf legend Pete Townend. "It's up to Parko to slap Kelly up side the head and say 'this year it's my turn.' But Kelly's not going to let him do it that easily."
And right Townend was. As the south swell's pace finally slowed down coupled with the outgoing tide, the final heat resulted in several lulls. A decent ride, though inconsistent, proved to be more than valuable in the heat's 35-minute window for the two competitors. Both Slater and Parkinson launched aerial attacks on one another as well as a series of powerful carves bursting huge sprays, but in the end, luck was on Slater's side as he scored a series of open-faced lefts as well as smaller inside waves allowing for Slater to gauge his rails into the face to produce some powerful carves. Both were fighting for priority
"I know I went out there feeling like I didn't have anything to lose because Parko was the form guy," Slater told ASP. "He was pretty much the standout in every round...I just figured I had to get myself on the best waves and let go a little bit...every contest I've won, there's some moment where things go my way."
The WCT will continue it's tour in France for the Quiksilver Pro France on Sept. 28.

Mn/DOT to commemorate Workers Memorial Day April 28
Gov. Dayton and Commissioner Sorel to lead memorial commemoration event in Mankato
MANKATO, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation will commemorate Workers Memorial Day April 28, by honoring the 46 workers who died while working on Mn/DOT construction and maintenance projects since 1960.
Mike Struck, a nine-year employee at Mn/DOT District 7/Mankato, is one of the 46 workers who will be honored. Struck died March 22, 2011, when the backhoe he was using to clear debris along Highway 169 between Mankato and St. Peter was pulled into flood waters.
"The passing of Mike Struck is a tragic reminder of the dangers our men and women deal with in pursuit of keeping Minnesota's roads clear and safe for the driving public," said Transportation Commissioner Tom Sorel. "It is important that we remember the 33 state highway workers and 13 contract workers who lost their lives on the job and honor them by using extra caution in work zones during the spring and summer months."
Gov. Mark Dayton and Commissioner Sorel will speak at the Mankato Mn/DOT headquarters on Bassett Drive at noon. Representatives from the Minnesota State Patrol and local unions also will participate in the commemorations. Other ceremonies will be held April 28 at the district headquarters in Rochester and the Workers Memorial Garden on the State Capitol lawn in St. Paul.
The agency's statewide observance to commemorate the day will be highlighted by 10 seconds of silence to honor those Mn/DOT employees and contract workers who have been injured or killed on the job.
"The ceremonies come at a time when crews are beginning work on several road projects around the state," Sorel said. "Mn/DOT will be working on 258 state highway construction projects throughout Minnesota this year—that equates to a lot of orange barrels."
Mn/DOT reminds motorists that the vast majority of work zone deaths and injuries are suffered by motorists.
The number of work zone crashes on Minnesota state highways increased from 1,788 incidents in 2009, to 1,915 work zone crashes in 2010. Fatalities decreased from 13 in 2009, to 11 in 2010, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
"Although the number of crash-related deaths in work zones decreased in the last year, our goal remains zero deaths," Sorel said. "Mn/DOT continues to work closely with other agencies as part of the Toward Zero Deaths initiative to reduce serious crashes through the integrated application of education, engineering, enforcement, and emergency medical and trauma services."
Mn/DOT urges motorists to follow these recommendations in work zones:
- Stay alert.
- Watch for signs, equipment and workers.
- Minimize distractions, such as using cell phones, eating or drinking.
- Avoid tailgating.
- Follow posted speed limits and directional signs.
- Stay in one lane while driving through a work zone.

Redskins sign WR Furrey; release four
The Redskins made a series of roster moves Wednesday, most notably signing WR Mike Furrey.
Redskins face major changes on special teams
Nearly as drastic as the changes on offense and defense this offseason has been the difference in special-teams personnel.

Redskins WR Santana Moss has been named as one of several professional athletes with ties to Canadian doctor Anthony Galea, who has been charged with smuggling and distributing human growth hormone, according to various published reports.
Redskins sign DL Holliday
The Redskins announced Monday that they have signed free-agent DL Vonnie Holliday, who played in all 16 games with the Broncos last season.
Orakpo likely to increase sack total
According to "Whispers," OLB Brian Orakpo's role in Redskins coordinator Jim Haslett's new defense could enable him to significantly improve on his 11-sack rookie season.
Redskins WR Moss sidelined after knee surgery
A report from the Washington Post says that Redskins WR Santana Moss had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee this offseason and will be sidelined until June.
Redskins release Montgomery, Mitchell, three others
The Redskins released five players Monday, including DL Anthony Montgomery, WRs Marko Mitchell and James Robinson and RBs Anthony Alridge and P.J. Hill.
Galloway, Wade not crucial Redskins additions

Redskins sign DE Scott
The Redskins have signed free-agent DE Darrion Scott, who played for Jim Haslett in the UFL.
2010 draft choices by team: Redskins

Redskins trade QB Campbell to Raiders
The Redskins sent QB Jason Campbell to the Raiders for a 2012 fourth-round pick, reports indicate.
Williams fits what Shanahan wants
OT Trent Williams is a classic fit for a Mike Shanahan zone offense with the feet and the lateral ability to move well to be a perfect fit in this kind of system. But does he want to be great?
Redskins beef up D-line with Carriker, Green
While the status of disgruntled DT Albert Haynesworth remains in limbo, the Redskins have started to stockpile DL help.
Rams trade Carriker to Redskins, sign RFA Ryan
The Rams remained busy on the DT front Tuesday, trading former first-round draft pick Adam Carriker to the Redskins and signing starting DT Clifton Ryan to a one-year tender offer.
Long snapper Nick Sundberg has agreed to a four-year deal to remain with the Washington Redskins. On Sunday, Sundberg became the fifth Redskins player in two days to get a new contract and avoid free agency.||||||| Sundberg has played three seasons in Washington and was set to become a restricted free agent when the free agent market formally opens Tuesday. He broke his left arm in the first half of last year's season opener but returned for the final seven games as well as the playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
The Washington Redskins have signed long snapper Justin Snow to replace Sundberg, who was put on injured reserve.||||||| Sundberg broke his left arm in the first half of Sunday's win over the New Orleans Saints. He remained in the game and continued to snap on punts and field goals, but has since been fitted with a balky cast that makes it impossible to snap the ball.

Hidden Valley Resort is bidding farewell to the 2012-13 ski season this weekend ... sort of.
Beginning Saturday and continuing today, the resort is holding its fourth annual Spring Carnivale. It is an event filled with games for children, art, music and plenty of skiing.
"It's our way of celebrating the end of another successful season," said the resort's marketing director, Laura Argenbright.
But she was quick to add, "I feel like we'll still have several good weeks left."
Activities will begin today at 11 a.m. and last until 4 p.m. There will be face painting, coloring contests, jewelry making, snow golf, treasure digs, an obstacle course, balloon twists, tennis ball rolls and cupcake walks.
"We enjoy putting the carnival on to thank our guests," Argenbright said.
Several vendors were on site Saturday.
Albert Puskaric, a resident of White Oak in Allegheny County, is selling prints of Hidden Valley scenes. Puskaric's wife, Ali, skis, but he does not enjoy the sport. So, when she hits the slopes, he picks up the colored pencils.
"In order for us to stay together and have fun together, we drive up together, but I need something to do and I love to draw," he said.
"I draw pictures of ski scenes. I fell in love with the Laurel Mountains. Coming up here all the time, it's been my passion to draw all the scenes of the Laurel Mountains."
After the children's activities concluded on Saturday, Bakersville's Randy Myers entertained the crowd with his acoustic guitar and harmonica, singing a mix of cover tunes and original material.
"I just love coming here and playing," Myers said. "My kids have grown up here. My family skis here, everybody skis here. It's just a fun family atmosphere."

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Teikou Middle School basketball club: an incredibly strong team with over one hundred members and three consecutive championship wins. Amongst their brilliant record, was a generation of five prodigies known as the "Generation of Miracles." However, there was a strange rumor concerning the Generation of Miracles about one more player recognized by the five prodigies... a phantom sixth man.
When Kagami Taiga joins Seirin High School's basketball team, he meets Kuroko Tetsuya, a horrendously bad player. Kagami is shocked to find out that Kuroko is the rumored sixth man of the Generation of Miracles. Not only is Kuroko terrible at everything from dribbling to shooting, he lacks so much presence on the court that at times people even forget he's playing. But during games Kuroko uses that lack of presence to his advantage, specializing in passing the ball to stronger players. In order to become the best player in Japan, Kagami agrees to team up with Kuroko to defeat the other members of the Generation of Miracles.

Oh snap, the finale match is here. Akashi and his team vs Kuroko's team. This should exciting especially with Kagami getting fired up now. I do wonder who will win though. I'm placing my bet on Kuroko's team but it could end in a surprise twist.
After reading through the flashback chapters, I think both teams know what's on the line.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
After reading chapter 233 I can honestly say that this will be the match to end all matches in this manga. That's saying something considereing the fact that all of the matches against the Generations of Mircales has been intense so far in the Winter Cup.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Literally as soon as the match started Kagami already entered the Zone, and two Meteor Jams in a row! But I'm worried as to how long he will be keep it up. I mean after all Akashi is now his tag, so who knows what's gonna happen now
I do wonder who is going to win though cause if Seirin wins I have a feeling this manga is gonna end, but if Rakuzan wins I'm sure that there will be more Kuroko.
I don't think the manga/anime is going to end that soon. If Kagami wins this match up, the rest that he battles ahead would be a piece of cake.
Kukuro will lose this match in order for each individual and the team itself to practice ever more and improve themselves.
Then, the manga would introduce new characters and new teams. There's even a big chance two Generation of Miracles form a partnership and a team. Not to mention, new schools could be founded for exchange students. Generation of Miracles, including Kagami, would probably experience how international players play. There could be a player that is deadly using Euro steps. And1 players and Street Ballers.
All they did so far are league games + 1 pick up game.
Me & my fiancé are determined to buy & read all the volumes of this to date which are available to purchase over here in the UK eventually as we're both huge fans of the anime as it is
☠☠☠ "Maybe They're Nice Pirates?" (Silvermist) "Right!" (Vidia) ☠☠☠
Actually I think that if Kagami wins this match it would be harder to beat the generation of miracles a second time since they all would have experienced defeat now and would work even harder than they ever had. Though I do think they will lose this match at the end of the day.
I think that kagami and the gom will go up against some american players and get demolished in sone kind of international tourney. Thus trainging harder and working together to become world champions
Kinda bullshit that they making Akashi almost invincible. But we have to remember, it's fiction.
Even if Akashi exist, a single post up move would drain his strength and speed.
Kagami can easily nullify Akashi either by a high post, mid post, or low post.
But we have to remember, it's fiction.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
You know I always had a love-hate relationship with Kuroko. But, reading as his skill, his power, his SHADOW fades away and never coming back is kind of sad. Akashi saw this and never feared his ability. But you know, this manga has a way of pulling shit out it's ass and turning the tide of the game. I believe he be alright.
The sports genre has finally got up and kick some ass

At first I would get mad of all the "non-fiction". Laughing at all the fiction thats going on helps calms me down.

Welp, looks like this game is almost over. It's been dragging a bit but I hope they do something surprising at the end.

Tuukka Rask was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round 2005 NHL Entry Draft. He was selected twenty-first overall, and was seen as the best European goalie prospect at that draft that year. However, fate had its role to play in Tuukkas future. He was traded to our Boston Bruins for Calder Trophy winning goaltender Andrew Raycroft. Toronto had assumed their starting goalie, Justin Pogge would be the future of the team, and put Rask on the market. (Bruins management always seems to get out ahead on many of the big-deal trades.)
Rask spent the next two seasons playing in the Finnish SM-liiga for the Llves (-Lynx). In the league he put up a record of 30-25(with 18 ties), a 2.24 goals against, a .927 save percentage. On 5 May 2007, Rask signed a three-year contract with the Boston Bruins. He began practicing with the AHL affiliate, Providence Bruins. On 5 November 2007, Rask was called up for his first game with the Big Bruins(he lost). Two weeks later, he recorded his first NHL win, a 42 victory on the road against the team that drafted him, the Toronto Maple Leafs.
All the rest

While many were attending the funeral Mass of a fallen brother in Easton Saturday, Monroe firefighters battled house and garage fires at home.
Shortly after 1 p.m., fire broke out at a home on Shelton Road (Route 110) at the Monroe/Shelton border. It was quickly contained by crews from the Monroe and White Hills volunteer fire departments and there were no injuries.
White Hills firefighters were covering Monroe Fire Station One on Route 110, so its firefighters could attend the funeral of Easton Fire Lt. Russell Neary, who was killed in the line of duty during the height of Storm Sandy.
The house fire originated in the rear of the structure and partially extended inside. Firefighters overhauled parts of the dining room, kitchen and attic to ensure the fire did not spread.
Fire Marshall Bill Davin is investigating the cause. Damage was limited to approximately $7,500.
Monroe Fire Department spokesman Kevin Catalano believes the resident can stay in the house once the rear of it is boarded up.
A Garage Fire On Crescent
Firefighters then responded to a fire in a garage on Crescent Place in Stepney at around 5:50 p.m. Stepney and Monroe firefighters made quick work of the fire, which appeared to have originated near a wood burning stove.
In between those calls, firefighters handled two other emergency calls on Greenfield Hill Road and Fan Hill Road.
Amid the busy Saturday of calls, one Monroe Engine was staffed at Easton fire headquarters during the day, so that all their firefighters could attend the funeral. That crew also responded to some calls while in Easton.
All told, volunteer firefighters handled approximately 60 calls this week, most of which were related to the storm — including several electrical issues in homes as power was restored, carbon monoxide detector alarms and arcing power lines.
