Hampton VA
On March 9, 1862, the Civil War battle of Hampton Roads between the ironclads USS Monitor and CSS Virginia (formerly the USS Merrimack) heralded the beginning of a new era in naval warfare. Though indecisive, the battle marked the change from wood and sail to iron and steam.
Today, the remains of the Monitor rest on the ocean floor off North Carolina's Outer Banks, where the ship sank in a storm on December 31, 1862. Discovered in 1973, the Monitor wreck site was designated the Monitor National Marine Sanctuary (MNMS) and is managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The purpose of the Monitor National Marine Sanctuary is to preserve the historic record of this significant vessel and to interpret her role in shaping US naval history. Over the past several years NOAA has made extensive surveys of the wreck site and recovered a number of artifacts from the Monitor.
This site offers an overview of the development and career of the USS Monitor from her conception by John Ericsson, through her short career as a warship of the United States Navy, to her loss off Cape Hatteras in December 1862 and her subsequent discovery and recovery.
A Civil War Icon, A Pivotal Piece Of History
Neither the Monitor nor the Virginia was the first ironclad war vessel on the seas. The concept of providing metallic armor to wooden vessels dates back to at least the 1592, when Korean Admiral Yi Sun-Sin led a fleet of armored Kohbudson, or "turtle ships," against an invading Japanese fleet. However, it was not until the mid-19th century that true ironclad vessels were tested and adopted by the world's navies. Cheer for the sailors that rode a "cheesebox on a raft" into battle—and changed the course of history.
We're in a race to conserve history! Follow along as artifacts are uncovered and more facts are learned about the Monitor and the men who served aboard!
From the heart breaking accounts of life aboard the ironclads to thrilling descriptions of the battles recounted by those who witnessed them you're sure to learn something new!

The decision to close was not easy but the owners of F. Stadtmuller Jewelers are doing just that to the family-operated historic jewelry business on Main Street in Sayville.
Stadtmuller, in operation since 1860, announced the closing a week ago and is now running a going out of business sale until it locks its doors for good on March 16. Everything is for sale, including furniture and store fixtures.
"We've got alot of people coming in and telling us how sad they are as they got their wedding bands and engagement rings and other special gifts from here," said a store employee.
The store is not relocating and all inventory must be sold.

On Thursday we learned more about how children are helped by the gift of an animal at the Howell Nature Center Heifer Project Global Village. The children and youth raised over $250 to purchase two Heifer goats with the gift of a goat being matched by three additional donors for a grand total of FIVE GOATS. Thanks to all who attended and supported Arts Alive Camp through prayer, serving, and providing scholarships. The week was a wonderful learning experience and time to grow in faith for children, youth, and adults!

Sunday's Twins Minor League Daily
by, 05-27-2012 at 09:14 PM (744 Views)
I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day weekend! All of the affiliates were in action today and this evening, and the Twins lost a tough one to the Tigers.
There was some roster news, if you haven't heard it: Erik Komatsu was designated for assignment, and Jeff Manship joined the Twins. Best of luck to Komatsu in his professional career, and to Manship, as well. Additionally, starting pitcher David Bromberg was promoted from the AA Rock Cats to AAA Rochester. Congratulations to him! Let's take a look at what happened down on the farm today.
Brendan Wise started for the Red Wings today (best described as a spot start, because Manship was scheduled to start before his promotion), and threw 3 innings. He gave up 5 hits, struck out 3 and walked 1, surrendering no runs. Carlos Gutierrez tossed 2 scoreless innings in relief, striking out 2. Casey Fein was charged with the loss, giving up 1 run 2 hits in 2 innings. He struck out 2. Tyler Robertson threw a scoreless 8th. In all, the pitching performances were very good -- only 7 total hits, 7 Ks and 1 walk.
On offense, it's safe to say that hits came at a premium for the Red Wings. There were only 3 all day: a single by shortstop Pedro Florimon, and 2 hits by Sean Burroughs, a single and a double. The Red Wings walked 0 times today. Danny Valencia was 0-for-4 today, but is batting .268 since his demotion. Tsuyoshi Nishioka, also hitless today, is batting .202 this season.
Here's the link for the box score.
Logan Darnell got the start for the Rock Cats, and was solid, going 5 and 2/3 innings, giving up 8 hits and allowing 2 runs. He struck out 6 and walked only 1. Bobby Lanigan relieved Darnell, and the wheels came off in the 7th inning. After getting the final out of the 6th, Lanigan allowed 6 consecutive batters to reach to open up the 7th, on 5 hits and a walk, and ended up giving up 5 runs in the 7th, and only got one out in that inning. He threw 2/3 of an inning total. Caleb Thielbar came on in relief. He threw the final 2 outs of the 7th (including a ground out that scored a run charged to Lanigan), but gave up a solo home run in the 8th. In all, Thielbar threw 1 and 2/3 innings, allowed the 1 run, and had no walks or strikeouts. On defense, third baseman Deibinson Romero committed his 6th error of the season.
Mirroring a recent trend, the Rock Cats didn't get many hits today; 6, in fact. But, for the second consecutive game, Evan Bigley had a 3 run home run, his 4th in 2012. Deibinson Romero had a solo home run, his 5th of the season. Nathan Hanson had an RBI single, Rene Tosoni had a double, and Aaron Hicks and James Berersford each had a single. Hanson also stole his first base of the season.
Here's the link for the box score.
Pat Dean started for the Miracle today, went 5 innings, gave up 1 run on 3 hits, and issued 1 walk with no strikeouts. His ERA stands at 2.70 on the season. The bullpen was very good today. Kyle Waldorp pitched a scoreless 6th inning, striking out 2 and walking 1; Matthew Hauser tossed 2 scoreless frames, striking out 1 and walking 1; Bruce Pugh picked up his 4th save of the season, allowing 1 hit and striking out 1. In all, the bullpen allowed 1 hit in 4 innings of work.
Prospect Oswaldo Arcia had a great day. He was 3-for-3 with a solo home run, his 4th of the season, and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and walked in his other plate appearance. Arcia is batting .299 on the season. Daniel Ortiz had an RBI single, which accounted for the Miracle's other run. The other Miracle players with hits today were Daniel Santana, Jairo Perez, Anderson Hidalgo and Andy Leer. All singles. Here's another good stat: Ft. Myers walked 6 times today, including 2 walks by Hidalgo.
Here's the link for the box score
Jason Wheeler got the start for the Snappers this evening, and he was great. He went 8 innings. Wheeler gave up 5 hits and 2 runs, striking out 5 and walking only 1 along the way. Corey Williams tossed a scoreless 9th, allowing 1 hit and and striking out 1.
On offense, the Snappers banged out 12 hits tonight, and almost all the starters were in on the action. Designated hitter Jonathan Goncalves went 3-for-4 with a double and 2 RBIs. Eddie Rosario was 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI. Shortstop Tyler Grimes was 3-for-3 with a double, and first baseman Adam Bryant was 3-for-5 with an RBI. Miguel Sano had two singles and an RBI, and TwinsDaily's own Adam Pettersen had a single.

Omaha police make a quick arrest following a carjacking and pursuit that all started at a car wash in Council Bluffs Saturday afternoon.
A cab driver was using the vacuum cleaner at Bucky's Car Wash on West Broadway just before 1 p.m. when the suspect, Ronald Valla, punched him in the head. Valla then drove away in the Happy Cab van.
A short time later, Omaha police caught Valla following a chase. Charges are pending.
Happy Cab can track its fleet using software that was able to follow the stolen cab. "This ended much better than it could have," said Happy Cab's John Davis. "He had little to no regard for public safety. We saw him after police apprehended him, no remorse whatsoever."
The taxi driver was taken to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs with minor head injuries.

STILLWATER — Oklahoma State University officials will cooperate with an NCAA investigation that is set to probe details in an upcoming investigative report by Sports Illustrated. The university's cooperation was confirmed by Vice President of Athletics Mike Holder on Monday.
Sports Illustrated will launch its five-part series at 9 a.m. Tuesday on SI.Com, according to a Sports Illustrated press release. The first story also is the magazine's cover story. It will be on newstands and tablets Wednesday. The series continues Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at SI.com. It will wrapup on Tuesday online and Sept. 23 in the magazine.
The 10-month investigation into OSU's football program includes independent and on-the-record interviews with more than 60 former football players from 2001 to 2010 as well as current and former OSU football staffers, according to the press release.
"We wanted to take a comprehensive look at a big-time program, particularly one that made a rapid ascent," SI Executive Editor Jon Wertheim said. "There's obviously a steady drumbeat of scandal in college sports — improper benefits here; a recruiting violation there — and plenty of rumor and hearsay about the unseemy underbelly. For this piece, we were more about venturing inside the factory and seeing how the sausage is made."
OSU's transgressions began under former coach Les Miles, and continue under coach Mike Gundy, according to the SI press release.
The five-story series was reported by senior writers George Dohrmann and Thayer Evans. Wertheim, SI Assistant Managing Editor Hank Hersch and SI.com Executive Editor B.J. Schecter supervised the project.
Dohrmann and Schecter informed OSU officials about general issues in the series on Aug. 28 trip to Stillwater.
According to its press release, SI's series looks at:
• Money: OSU boosters and at least two assistant coaches funneling money to players via direct payments and a system of no-show and sham jobs. An assistant coach paying players for on-field performance. Some players made $500 a game.
• Academics: Widespread academic misconduct, including tutors and OSU personnel completing coursework for players and professors giving passing grades for little or no work.
• Drugs: OSU tolerated and at times enabled recreational drug use through a counseling program that allowed some players to continue to use drugs while avoiding penalties.
• Sex: OSU's hostess program, Orange Pride, tripled in size under Miles. Multiple former playrs and Orange Pride members say a small subset of the group had sex with recruits, a violation of NCAA rules.
• The Fallout: Many players who were no longer useful to the program were cast aside. Some have been jailed; others live on the streets. Many have battled drug abuse and a few have attempted suicide.
OSU officials notified the NCAA, which will assign an investigator to review the facts, Holder said.
"At the end of the day, we will come to some conclusions," Holder said. "We will deal with those, prop ourselves back up, polish up that OSU brand and move on down the road."
Oklahoma State will assign a person to work with the NCAA investigator and help uncover the fact, Holder said.
Holder and OSU football coach Mike Gundy shared the spotlight at the coach's weekly media pregame press conference. The Cowboys are scheduled to play Lamar at 6:30 p.m. Saturday before a record crowd at Boone Pickens Stadium.
Holder said said Monday he didn't know specific incidents that will be cited in the magazine's stories.
"I know a little bit. I know enough to be very concerned," Holder said.
"As the athletic director at Oklahoma State and an alumnus of the university I don't want to believe it's true. We pride ourselves on doing things the right way around here," he said.
Holder said he wants to read the Sports Illustrated articles. He acknowledged it will be a rough read for Cowboy alums and fans.
Once the articles are out, the NCAA and OSU can evaluate them and make changes, Holder said.
Gundy became OSU's football coach in 2005 after coach Les Miles left for Louisiana State University. Gundy, an OSU alum and former quarterback, served as an assistant coach under Miles.
He has compiled a 69-35 record as Cowboy coach. The Pokes won the Big 12 Championship in 2011 and beat Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl. OSU has made seven consecutive bowl appearances.
The Cowboys football coach briefly touched on the magazine articles before previewing Saturday's home opener.
Gundy said the football program is focused on complying with NCAA rules and regulations.
"I am very proud of what we have accomplished here both on and off the field. Our goal has always been to take young people from where their families and parents have gotten them and to make them better over a four- or five-year period. We are very proud of that in many ways," Gundy said.

medium brown color, with a small tannish head that fades quickly and leaves a light, dark tea color in the glass.
aroma is as earthy as it can get. deep malty nose, hints of leather, oak, nice touches of roasty malts and earthy grains. really just wonderfully balanced and smooth, nothing heavy here at all and this carries over perfectly into the flavor which was nothing short of stellar. smooth, creamy and tea like flavors dominate with hints of oak, earthy and muted hops and a deep resonated earthy grain that really shows itself off.
overall a very nice example of the style

This pours out as a clear brown color with a fizzy cream colored head on it. The aroma has some subtle chocolate notes with a handful of roasted nuts in there too. The taste is roasted and kind of dry. Overall the beer is a decent brew to drink with a few friends around a fire or something. I'd drink it again if it was offered to me.

Reviewed from notes.
Served in a tulip glass. Pours a moderate brown color with an off-white head. Two fingers of lacing settle down with some nice carbonation bubbles floating on top. The nose is lightly-toasted malt with some chocolate, caramel, toffee, and a bit of yeast. The taste is pretty nice and mellow with toffee and very mild chocolate. Good body and carbonation; a nice, drinkable brew.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine May 2007.
We'll say it until we come up with something more clever: This year, brown is the new black. But what can brown do for you? It's another choice for a session beer! And a session beer is just what Harpoon has launched here.
A healthy-looking two fingers of head forms after a hard pour. Clarity is there with a stunning mahogany hue. Malty aroma is a little dusty, a little toasty. First and foremost, this beer has that Harpoon-esque flavor from their house yeast: clean with a faint fruitiness and some floral characteris- tics. Very smooth, with an ample crispness and moderate body. There are several layers of malt here--a touch of sweetness up front, with a bready flavor trailed by toasted and finally grainy notes. Clean throughout, with a modest bitterness. Finishes clean with a lingering grain in the back.
Being a Brown Ale (and a session beer at that), let this one warm up a bit. Say to around 50 ̊F--much colder and it won't do the beer justice. Pair this with some cider-marinated turkey tips with Asian slaw and beer-battered onion rings and you'll be good to go.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
The Harpoon winter multi-pack is a pretty good deal; the beers are all pretty good, though they are mostly similar brown styles.
G - Newcastle pint
A - It pours a slightly hazy mahogany hue, with a pillowy head, good retention, some clingy lace.
S - As with nearly all of Harpoon's winter offerings, this beer has obvious notes of cocoa, along with a rich toffee malt presence.
T - It tastes a bit wimpy; the flavors are there, chocolate, roast, and bitter hop, but they are muted or 'mild', and it doesn't serve this beer well. The Munich-Type Dark from the same sampler has all of the same elements, exploited with much greater success.
M - Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation, a tad slick. The feel and flavor does not mesh.
D - Brown, sessionable, thus it is aptly titled. A bit like a glorified Newcastle. Actually, it is a lot better than Newcastle.

Not a bad beer from harpoon. I thought it rather timely, with all the session beer threads we have been bombarded with as of late.
Pours a light brown, rather bright, which I found a little odd. Some Ruby edging and a small collar of light tan foam. The retention and lacing aren't top notch, but they suffice.
Some light toasted notes pair with caramel to comprise the brunt of the nose and the mouth. There could be quite a bit more flavor, more oomph. A bit on the bland side, there is some corn like graininess picking on me from the background. Decent, but not stellar.
The mouthfeel is just too damn thin and bubbly. I wanted a creamy, lightly carbed heavily flavored beer, and this session brown really couldn't deliver.
Not a bad beer, but in need of some tweaking to escape blatant mediocrity.

How two local Realtors made their historic house on Seventh Avenue perfect for today
The yard was too small, the cost was suspiciously low, and Realtor Amy Bachelder didn't really like bungalows. Still, the Arts and Crafts-style home on historic Seventh Avenue Parkway caught her eye as she jogged past on a sunny day three and a half years ago. She loved the tree-lined neighborhood, with bikers, strollers, and pets bustling by, and she thought the imperfect property had potential. Bachelder immediately called her partner and fellow real estate agent Carol Freyer to tell her about the house.
As co-owners of PorchLight Real Estate Group, both Bachelder and Freyer had strong opinions about what they wanted in a home. The challenge was to mesh their two disparate visions. Bachelder longed for a very social neighborhood, while Freyer wanted a home base for their two dogs, Lucy and Otis, and growing family (Freyer gave birth to their first son, Eli, this October). Bachelder liked traditional construction with "character," while Freyer preferred more modern and contemporary touches. With the right kind of remodel, they realized, the bungalow on Seventh could become all these things.
"We were looking at houses that were twice the price, and they weren't what we wanted at all," says Freyer. "And so we found a location. We found a good house, and we said, 'Let's make it what we want.'" They decided the exterior of the home would stay intact. But inside, they would break out of the Arts and Crafts mold with bigger living spaces, bold color accents, and contemporary furnishings.

From watching key veterans walk to dealing with unhappy players wanting extensions, John Dorsey has his work cut out for him this time of year.

It's not every offseason that a team lets their most talented cornerback and starting left tackle walk. But the Kansas City Chiefs have stared down some difficult decisions this offseason in the name of some much needed contract extensions and salary cap space.

When the Chiefs parted ways with Brandon Flowers and Branden Albert, it demonstrated general manager John Dorsey's willingness to make difficult sacrifices. In order to secure key players, he had to let longtime valuable veterans walk. Those players -- Jamaal Charles, Alex Smith, Justin Houston -- will hopefully carry the Chiefs toward a successfull future. The question is: at what cost?

Watching veterans walk

The importance of the left tackle position can't be overstated. There's a reason teams spend major dollars securing the bookends of an offensive line, ensuring protection for their greatest investment: the quarterback.

  Branden Albert/Kyle Terada, USA Today Sports

When the Chiefs let Albert walk to the Miami Dolphins this offseason, it was a significant chance for Dorsey to take. He'd set up such a move by selecting Eric Fisher at No. 1 overall in the 2013 NFL Draft, but Fisher's rookie year was marred by inconsistent play and nagging injuries. Over the last six seasons, Albert started 83 of 85 games, made the Pro Bowl, and was still playing at a high level at the age of 29.

Flowers presented the same scenario for the Chiefs. A couple of promising youngsters were in house, but Flowers, like Albert, was the consistent veteran the team could count on. While Flowers' performance dipped in 2013, he was still the greatest certainty at the position before he was cut. Yet by cutting him the savings were substantial; the Chiefs saved $7 million.

Overall, the team lost a significant number of veterans to free agency, and it was hard for fans to watch them leave. Here's a look at the players the Chiefs lost and the money they commanded in the open market:

 Name	 Position	 New Team	 Contract / Years

 Branden Albert	 LT	 Miami Dolphins	 5 years, $47M

 Tyson Jackson	 DE	 Atlanta Falcons	 5 years, $25M

 John Asamoah	 G	 Atlanta Falcons	 5 years, $22.5M

 Geoff Schwartz	 RT	 New York Giants	 4 years, $16.8M

 Dexter McCluster	 WR	 Tennessee Titans	 3 years, $9M

 Brandon Flowers	 CB	 San Diego Chargers	 1 year, $3M

*Data via Spotrac

That's an average dollar amount of $4.85 million per year for each player. What that equates to is just over $9 million in available cap space for the Chiefs.

Extensions aplenty

John Dorsey already took care of the team's top priority: extending Jamaal Charles. Charles was reportedly going to hold out of training camp, but both sides quickly struck a deal that will pay the Pro Bowl running back $8.3 million this year instead of $3.9 million.

With Charles' deal out of the way, it still leaves two pending decisions for Dorsey to stare down. After the Charles' extension, the Chiefs now have $5,259,628 million in cap room for 2014, a bit less wiggle room for Dorsey to figure things out for Houston and Smith.

Houston's best days are ahead of him, and he will be the anchor to the team's pass rush for years to come

Houston is likely next up on the list. The Pro Bowl linebacker is in the prime of his career and is a playmaker in all facets of the game. After coming into the league as a pass rusher with questionable work ethic and character, Houston has turned the corner into a complete package on defense, an impact player with 11 sacks, one forced fumble and three fumble recoveries in just 11 games in 2013.

Kansas City is on the hook for only 1.4 million for Houston's services in 2014, a travesty for a player who totaled 26.5 sacks over his last 32 games. Houston's best days are ahead of him, and he will be the anchor to the team's pass rush for years to come as Tamba Hali gets older.

The good news is that Houston is in camp for the Chiefs. It's just a matter of Dorsey figuring out how to weave Houston's raise in with the others.

That leaves Alex Smith. The Chiefs' quarterback deserves a deal worthy of a franchise signal-caller after helping the Chiefs make the playoffs just one year after picking first in the draft. He's scheduled to make $7.5 million in the final year of a three-year, $25.25 million contract.

Smith is often overlooked on lists of the NFL's top quarterbacks, but Smith ranks fourth among quarterbacks with at least 30 starts since 2011 in wins (30, tied with Andy Dalton and Joe Flacco) and posted a 92.5 rating during that stretch.

Though Charles made the highlight reel most often, Smith was the backbone of the team, as Adam Shein of NFL.com points out:

"You can be in position to win a championship with Alex Smith under center. His accuracy, his leadership, his production and his poise led Kansas City to the playoffs last season, his first with the Chiefs. Smith joined a team that was a mess -- the absolute worst in the league -- and teamed up with Reid to immediately turn it around. This cannot be pooh-poohed.

"Jamaal Charles was the best player on the Chiefs last year. The defense -- which featured five Pro Bowl players -- was loaded. Alex Smith was the MVP."

The Chiefs have a leader who can take them to a deep run in the playoffs. Dorsey has to find a way to make him believe they want him there long-term while maintaining enough talent (i.e. enough money) around him to keep him.

What it all means

One of the reasons that getting these extensions right is because they are not the only ones. When the dust settles on new contracts for Charles, Houston and Smith, another wave of players will be waiting their turn after the 2014 season: namely another handful of impact players like Dontari Poe, Eric Berry and Derrick Johnson. They're each important players who will want fair market value for their services.

It sounds like a vicious cycle, but it's just the life of an NFL GM. We'll know soon whether Dorsey's up for the task.

From coast to coast, there was plenty of fodder for discussion as NFL training camps got underway.

"We have no plans to cut him."

-- Browns head coach Mike Pettine on Josh Gordon

The Cleveland Browns are going to hang on to Pro Bowl wide receiver Josh Gordon after another troubled offseason in which he faces a suspension after violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Head coach Mike Pettine confirmed as much when he spoke with Cleveland.com on Tuesday.

"If any of our players are in need of help, we'll do our best to provide it for them and also that we're going to do what we feel is best for the organization,'' he said. "By league guidelines, whatever help we can provide him, we're going to do it. A Cleveland Brown is a Cleveland Brown. If we feel we can help him, let's help him. Sometimes you're handcuffed by the situation, so until it plays out then there's really nothing tangible we can do at this point.''

It's reasonable to assume the Browns would consider such a move given Gordon's troubled history, but his talent outweighs his shortcomings in the team's mind.

Veterans report on Friday, and Pettine expects Gordon to be there.

"Thank God he wasn't the St. Louis Rams coach."

-- Rams DE Michael Sam on NFL analyst Tony Dungy

St. Louis Rams rookie Michael Sam responded to former head coach Tony Dungy's comments that he wouldn't have drafted the former SEC Defensive Player of the Year because of the distraction factor.

Much like Sam has handled his unique situation as the league's first openly-gay player, he responded with class and was all smiles when he spoke with reporters on Tuesday. Dungy has since come out and clarified his statement, but Sam went on to say he has a lot of respect for the NFL lifer. In Sam's case, the attention needs to be placed upon actually making the team, first and foremost, as Ryan Van Bibber of Turf Show Times explains:

Anyway, that's basically the response you could have expected from Sam. And it's good to see him take the high road. The Rams see him first and foremost as a football player, and a barrier breaker second. He's got to keep his focus on making the roster, which isn't going to be an easy task considering the depth at the position in St. Louis.

"Danny is an integral part of our offense."

-- Chargers GM Tom Telesco on Danny Woodhead

The San Diego Chargers re-signed running back Danny Woodhead to a two-year extension that will last through the 2016 season. The dual-threat back had one year remaining on his current contract.

San Diego likes what Woodhead brings to the table, and for good reason. Not only can he change the pace from power rusher Ryan Mathews, but he also has a knack for catching the ball out of the backfield and possesses tremendous speed and agility in space. It's a win-win for both sides, says John Gennaro:

Contract extensions are a relative rarity in the NFL. While he certainly deserves a longer tenure in San Diego, this move could be a way to restructure his contract and move money around to give the team some space under the cap. It's win-win for both sides though: Danny Woodhead gets some added job security, and the Chargers get to keep one of their key offensive components longer and gain some cap space at the same time.

Last season, he caught a career-high 76 passes for the Bolts.

"Once we get past the second preseason game, then we'll need to know."

-- Ravens head coach John Harbaugh on RB Ray Rice's status

Ray Rice is facing league discipline for an offseason domestic violence incident, and the Baltimore Ravens remain in a holding pattern until the NFL makes its decision on how to administer the punishment.

Head coach John Harbaugh spoke at length with the Baltimore Sun regarding the incident and whether or not he expects his star back in the near future. He said it won't make a difference early on.

."I don't think it affects us until halfway through training camp maybe," Harbaugh said. "We'll just be business as usual until then. We're installing for the first six days and working in situaitons through the first two preseason games. Once we get past the second preseason game, then we'll need to know. Whenever they're ready to let us know, then we'll be ready to hear it."

But with training camp upon them, the Ravens are running out of time before they need to know an answer either way.

With training camp just days away, the Saints playmaker is happy to be firmly supplanted in New Orleans for the foreseeable future. Elsewhere, the Pouncey brothers are in hot water.

"It's official I'm bleeding black and gold this morning!"

-- Saints TE Jimmy Graham

New Orleans Saints star Jimmy Graham may be a tight end in the eyes of the NFL, but he's still getting his payday and is apparently satisfied. He tweeted out his good fortune Tuesday morning:

It's official I'm bleeding black and gold this morning! Thank you WhoDatNation for all the support.
 — Jimmy Graham (@TheJimmyGraham) July 15, 2014

Sources confirmed via SB Nation's own Canal Street Chronicles that a contract was completed after a long dispute between the team and player. After months of disagreement and debate about Graham's position and value, the extension allows all sides to move forward heading into training camp.

"I've never been scared of dying."

-- Hall of Fame QB Jim Kelly

As former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly fights for his life in a battle with cancer after undergoing chemotherapy, his spirits remain high, despite his understanding that the disease could take his life.

In a conversation with WHAM as transcribed via ProFootballTalk.com, Kelly explains he has no fear of death after losing his then-8-year-old son in 2005 to a rare illness.

"I'm not scared," Kelly said, via WHAM. "I've never been scared of dying. I'm 54 years old. I've been through so many things in my life, I've done so many things, I've set goals, I've achieved goals, I've had a blast. If it's my turn - if the good lord decides 55 is my age, so what? I'll be going to see my son a little earlier than I thought I was going to. But the key to me is I know I have a lot more to do, a lot more lives to change and a lot of people out there who are going to change my life. So it's still a long ways away, I hope and pray."

"They looked scared out there."

-- Seahawks LB Bobby Wagner

Even in July, the NFL's biggest game from last season remains a topic of conversation thanks in part to linebacker Bobby Wagner and his words regarding the mindset of the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 48.

Wagner didn't hold back in his response when ESPN's Stephen A. Smith suggested Denver may have been intimidated when facing the Seattle Seahawks. Instead, he admitted the Broncos looked as if the Seahawks' defense was going to be more than they could handle, which proved to be true in the 43-8 rout.

"If I quit right now, I can take tax-free money."

-- FA TE Jermichael Finley

As former Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley eyes a return to the football field following a devastating neck injury, the prospect of retiring for good due to a $10 million insurance policy is weighing heavily on him, he told USA Today.

Although Green Bay remains the most likely destination for the 27-year-old given his familiarity with the system and coaching staff, he explained that the Pittsburgh Steelers have expressed interest, among other teams.

"I'm going to press charges. My face is swollen."

--Alleged victim of incident involving Dolphins and Steelers OL Mike and Maurkice Pouncey

Twin brothers and NFL centers Mike and Maurkice Pouncey are the subjects of an incident at a Miami nightclub resulting in injuries to three patrons, according to NBCMiami.com.

When 24-year-old Riquan James joined two of his friends on a night out at a Miami club, the results were multiple injuries to each. In addition, James accused both brothers, who were on hand to celebrate their 25th birthday, of using anti-gay slurs.

The Panthers defensive end will appeal the verdict.

Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy was sentenced to 18 months probation after being convicted on two felony counts of assault and communicating threats, according to Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer.

Hardy's attorney said he will appeal the verdict and will request a trial in Superior Court. His sentence can be commuted with the completion of a court-ordered program. The sentence also included a suspended term of 60 days in jail.

The trial stems from an incident between Hardy and his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Holder, who accused Hardy of physically abusing her. More than 10 images of abrasions to her neck, back, arm and elbow were used as evidence in the courtroom on Tuesday.

Hardy, who was mostly stoic throughout the process, will appeal the decision and has requested a trial in Superior Court.

The one-day trial is the result of a feud that included an argument over an alleged former relationship between Holder and recording artist Nelly. Hardy was thought to be upset about it when he "snapped" and become violent, according to the report.

Hardy and Holder met when Hardy was dating one of the victim's ex-roommates. The two began dating in September of 2013.

The free agent reserve now faces the possibility of missing a portion of the 2014-15 season after a breakout campaign in San Antonio.

Free-agent point guard Patty Mills suffered a torn rotator cuff and will not only miss Australia's World Cup run during the offseason, but also potentially the first three months of the 2014-15 season, as reported by ESPN's Marc Stein via The Sydney Morning Herald.

The Spurs' super-reserve will undergo surgery in the coming days to repair damage that lingered throughout the season and got progressively worse as it wore on. A scan revealed the damage would require surgery just two weeks following San Antonio's NBA title run.

The news is devastating for Australia, which was looking forward to a shot at earning a medal in international competition. Mills is devastated by the news and now will focus on re-joining the Spurs at full strength as quickly as possible.

Mills played in 81 games for the Spurs last season and averaged 10.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists as Tony Parker's back-up. He posted a Basketball-Reference.com player efficiency rating of 18.7, which was the highest in any full season for his career.

He was most valuable in the playoffs, where he provided consistency in the backcourt and shot 41 percent from the three-point line in 23 games. He is currently an unrestricted free agent, and the injury could cost him a lot of money.

With the big man weighing his options after the final year of his contract with the Lakers, Miami has emerged as a potential landing spot.

Pau Gasol spoke on the phone with Miami Heat team president Pat Riley on Tuesday and could talk to team officials again soon as he decides his fate during free agency, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.

Such a move would reportedly cost the Heat somewhere in the range of $10-$12 million in yearly salary. If that were to happen, it would mean the Heat would face questions on how to build its remaining pieces around him.

Wojnarowski also states that the San Antonio Spurs have contacted Gasol's agent Arn Tellem, and gauged his interest in joining the defending NBA champions, though there are questions as to how they could afford his asking price.

Why this makes sense

  NBA Free Agency

Every free agency signing in one place

Despite its success over the last few seasons, Miami has been deficient on the interior, ranking last in the NBA in offensive and defensive rebounding in 2013-14.

Gasol would instantly provide interior scoring and the help on the glass they sorely need, even at the back-end of his career. He's extremely versatile and can score in a number of ways. He's a capable scorer on the inside and a terrific passer and teammate who would instantly earn the respect of LeBron James.

Why this doesn't make sense

Even with a talent like Gasol in the frontcourt, Miami would still need a rim protector next to him as the Spaniard's athleticism and health continue to dwindle. Defense has never been his strong suit anyway, and the Heat would still need someone to fill that void inside.

The projected salary numbers would also restrict Miami's ability to keep James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade in addition to Gasol unless Bosh and Wade come in at considerable discounts.

Likelihood: 5/10

Gasol wants to go to a contender, and the Heat are the contender in the Eastern Conference, so it makes sense from that standpoint. The fact that there are conversations and mutual interest make it seem possible, though it's still unlikely given the uncertainty surrounding Miami's trio of stars.

The Los Angeles Lakers are still in the mix, as are any team in use for a big man with Gasol's diverse set of skills.

The Warriors are close to adding more backcourt depth with their first activity in free agency.

The Golden State Warriors have reached an agreement with free agent guard Shaun Livingston, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.

Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski reports the deal will be for three years for $16 million.

Livingston is coming off one of the most productive seasons of his career and parlayed that performance into a long-term deal.

What does he offer on the court?

The eight-year veteran had struggled to find a home since suffering a serious knee injury in 2007. This past season he became a necessary body on a battered Brooklyn squad before becoming a necessary basketball player. Livingston acted as point guard when Deron Williams was hurt and also played off the ball, averaging 8.3 points and 3.2 assists per game.

He also used his length to agitate players on the defensive end, where his most promising signs of his long recovery from the career-threatening injury showed up most. Livingston got his explosiveness back and despite being a poor three-point shooter, slashed his way to 48-percent shooting season.

SB Nation's Tom Ziller ranks Livingston as the No. 24 free agent, and has this to say about him:

"Livingston is one of the better back-up point guards in the NBA. That's a big thing given how important lead guards have become to most NBA offenses."

How does he fit?

The Warriors' uptempo style of basketball could suit Livingston's game well, plus his length and aptitude on the defensive end ought to be a substantial boost for a team that ranked 10th in opponents points per game a season ago.

Perhaps the best aspect of the signing, however, is the fact that Livingston can play both backcourt positions and can guard 1 through 3 without issue. He's exactly the kind of player first-year head coach Steve Kerr can find a role for with relative ease.

Is this a good contract?

At age 28 and coming off his best season since suffering the knee injury, the Warriors are banking on seeing that production again over the next three seasons. If it turns out he's back to form for the foreseeable future, then it's a bargain for a rotation player with his versatility.

His 11.5 points per 36 minutes were a career-high, and what he brings to the table in terms of defensive ability, especially given his 6-foot-7 frame, makes this deal more low-risk-high-reward than anything else.

How does this impact other teams?

The Brooklyn Nets need to find a new everyman in the backcourt who can take pressure off Williams. In the wake of Jason Kidd's departure, it means Brooklyn has more work ahead of it in terms of competing among the Eastern Conference elite next season.

For the teams out West, it signals that the Warriors just added another component player to the rotation that may yield big dividends in the postseason. For a team on the horizon such as Golden State, one piece could take them from a middling threat to a dangerous opponent.

The rookie symposium yielded plenty of fodder for today's NFL quotables, most notably some insight as to how other first-year players feel about the league's first openly gay player.

"You don't see anyone not talking to him or against him."

--Rams OL Greg Robinson on DE Michael Sam

St. Louis Rams rookie Michael Sam continues to focus on football while the world around him keys in on the fact he's the first openly gay player to suit up in the NFL. On Tuesday, his teammate and fellow rookie Greg Robinson confirmed the team's focus while both he and Sam were in Ohio attending the four-day NFL Rookie Symposium.

"He's just another guy in the locker room," Robinson said. "He's really cool once you get to know him, and I feel like he has a great story behind him."

"I think we're a bigger, more physically intimidating team"

--Packers QB Aaron Rodgers

There's a lot of buzz in Northeast Wisconsin about the Green Bay Packers adding size at every position, and in an interview with ESPN.com, Packers signal-caller Aaron Rodgers addressed it directly, saying it's only going to help matters and allow them to compete with other larger teams.

"We haven't had the kind of physical talent as far as size here in a while. I think there's been times -- I think back to playing Jacksonville in '08 in Jacksonville [a 20-16 Packers' loss], some of the battles we've had with our division teams at times -- where you walk on the field and feel like you're kind of a JV team."

"I'd say it looks really good for almost all those guys [returning from injury]."

--Ravens HC John Harbaugh

For the Baltimore Ravens to return to Super Bowl form, they'll need to get healthy after a litany of injuries cost them a shot at making the playoffs.

Injuries to Terrell Suggs, Marshal Yanda, Jameel McClain and Ed Reed depleted both sides of the ball and made for a difficult road through the AFC North. This year could be a different story with the team the healthiest its been in the John Harbaugh era.

"You can't be wishy-washy in this situation."

--Seahawks CB Richard Sherman on 49ers' TE Vernon Davis

Sometimes solidarity as NFL brethren trump even the fiercest rivalries, and that's exactly what took place in the case of Richard Sherman when the Seattle Seahawks cornerback was asked to weigh in on the contract situation of San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis.

"Do what you believe," Sherman said. "If he believes in what he's doing, you got to stick to it. You can't be wishy-washy in this situation. And it sounds like he's standing his ground ... That's when you don't get that deal you want. So I think he's doing the way he intended. He's really valuable to his team, so I'm sure they'll get together on something."

The answer he gave in full, which was noticeably genuine, shouldn't come as a surprise. Players frequently side with one another when it comes to getting paid because in the end, they all benefit when their peers earn higher salaries.

"I think it was misinterpreted."

--Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater

It's difficult to imagine anyone wanting to play for the Cleveland Browns, but when rookie Teddy Bridgewater admitted as much in May, he faced his fair share of criticism. At the NFL Rookie Symposium, he backtracked and explained that his comments were more to talk up the Minnesota Vikings organization as his ideal destination than to disparage the Browns.

"What I was saying was I had a strong feeling about the Minnesota Vikings," he said. "I was able to meet with them five or six times in the pre-draft visits. I just had a pretty solid feeling about the Minnesota Vikings, but, you know, I try to put the pre-draft stuff behind and try to just focus on my career with the Minnesota Vikings."

"When it came to certain things, we butted heads sometimes – route running and route technique. So I knew I didn't fit his system."

-- Panthers WR Jason Avant on Eagles head coach Chip Kelly

Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jason Avant is looking forward to resurrecting his career with the Carolina Panthers at age 31. In a wide-ranging interview with The Charlotte Observer, the former Michigan standout revealed that a difference in philosophy with then-first-year head coach Chip Kelly was a reason for his release from Philly.

"If you've been playing the game the right way and doing the small things, you don't age as fast," Avant said. "You don't have to try to reinvent yourself. There are a lot of fast guys who lose a step and then they can't get open anymore because they've been playing with speed. I haven't depended on speed so it doesn't affect me. You see Tim Duncan at age 38 still being able to play at such a high level because he's been a great fundamental player his whole career."

Got something to say to your TV? Talk to the remote.
Talking to the remote that comes with most HDTVs would seem a little strange. On LG's Cinema 3D TV, it's a good thing. That's because that remote will actually respond.
LG just announced a brand-new Magic Remote for its passive 3D TV line. It's not totally new, but LG says that this latest remote has a new design. That will include four control options: voice, gesture, point and wheel.
Of course, the voice features are probably the most appealing—at least to those with a plain, old remote. This new one supposedly has better language recognition capabilities, which should make using the remote "simple, natural, interactive and conversational."
The real highlight is new Natural Language Recognition software, which allows commands to be more fluid. No shouting or awkward pauses are needed.
"LG is committed to providing innovative home entertainment solutions and the Magic Remote is a key pillar of the CINEMA 3D Smart TV user experience," said Havis Kwon, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company. "Building on an already impressive feature set, the latest version boasts accurate lan-guage recognition and its gesture, wheel and point control options makes the Magic Remote stand out amongst its competition as a truly intuitive device."
LG will ship two versions of the Magic Remote. One will come with LG's premium CINEMA 3D Smart TVs, while the other ships with the company's standard CINEMA 3D Smart TV models. The big difference is that premium remote has LED backlit buttons and a more compact design.

The company has unveiled an 18-inch transparent OLED panel and a second 18-incher that's both flexible and rollable.
An 18,000-square foot house goes over-the-top with extreme home automation.
The new Wink smart home platform available from Home Depot is promising close to 60 smart products for every room in the house.

A little more privacy at Barneys sale?
Bashful New York bargain hunters may finally be able to guard their modesty at one of the city's biggest annual retail events, as luxury chain Barney's is considering adding dressing rooms at its mobbed New York warehouse sale.
While well-educated and well-heeled professionals don't think twice about unleashing their animal instincts to grab the best designer merchandise at 75 percent off, many are reticent about stripping down in public to make sure they have the right size before ringing up a final sale.
San Francisco and Los Angeles shoppers have already enjoyed the relative privacy of dressing rooms at the Barneys events in their cities.
"We're experimenting with it right now," Barney's director of stores Michael Celestino told the Reuters Global Luxury Summit. "We're a little space constrained right now in in New York, but it's something we're considering."
