Gordon will meet with NFL officials in New York in an effort to get a suspension reduced, according to the report.

Browns fans won't be the only ones barking at FirstEnergy Stadium in the fall.
The Browns, famous for their Dawg Pound cheering section, are planning to incorporate a real bullmastiff named "Swagger" into their game-day experience, team spokesman Rob McBurnett said today. One idea being kicked around is the canine leading the team onto the field before home games during the upcoming season.
Some fans have voiced complaints about the dog's name via social media, but the team did not name the dog. The dog had already been named before the Browns considered using it.
The Browns will become the latest NFL team to use a live animal as part of their game-day festivities. The Seattle Seahawks have a hawk named Taima. The Denver Broncos showcase a white Arabian horse named Thunder. The Baltimore Ravens use ravens named Rise and Conquer.
The Browns' plans to incorporate a real dog were revealed in a recent radio interview 92.3 The Fan conducted with Kevin Griffin, the team's vice president of fan experience and marketing.To read more or comment...

Browns Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden discussed LeBron James' return to the Cavaliers during an interview Friday night with NFL Network's NFL Total Access. A transcript is below.
On how he's feeling about the news that LeBron James is joining the Cleveland Cavaliers: "It's a great day in Cleveland."
On what he has been hearing and experiencing: "It's been almost overwhelming. I was actually having my football camp when people that were at my camp -- peoples' parents -- were like, 'Oh my goodness LeBron's here. LeBron's here. LeBron's coming back home.' I'm super excited. I've been a really, really big LeBron supporter. It's been kind of tough being a LeBron fan in Cleveland since he left. So now I've just been able to chill and post some of my things about being a big fan of him -- it's going to be amazing."
On if Cleveland is the center of the sports world and how it feels: "You could feel it everywhere especially after the draft too. We got [Justin] Gilbert and we got [Johnny] Manziel, then the city was buzzing. Now, LeBron's coming back. We got Andrew Wiggins. The whole city feels really good about themselves. I know the players and everybody. I know I do. It's time for us. There's no reason why we can't win games out here with the Cavs and for the Browns."To read more or comment...
Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel and several of his teammates used social media this afternoon to welcome NBA superstar and Akron native LeBron James back to Northeast Ohio.
In an essay published online today by Sports Illustrated, James announced he has decided to return to the Cavaliers after leaving the team in 2010 and spending the past four seasons with the Miami Heat.
James' homecoming is particularly significant for Manziel because they are business partners.
In January, Manziel signed with LRMR Management, the marketing firm run by James' business partner, longtime friend and fellow St. Vincent-St. Mary High School product Maverick Carter. LRMR and Fenway Sports Management, which partnered together in 2011, are representing Manziel jointly.To read more or comment...
Arizona Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu realizes plenty of people have advice for embattled Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon. But Mathieu also knows what it's like to battle addiction, so he's convinced that words of wisdom won't help Gordon unless he wants to make significant changes.
Gordon was arrested early Saturday morning in Raleigh, N.C., on a charge of driving while impaired.The All Pro is appealing a potential suspension of at least a year stemming from what ESPN reported in May was a positive test for marijuana.
The 23-year-old Gordon served a two-game suspension and was docked four game checks last season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. He also failed three marijuana tests in college – twice at Baylor University and once at the University of Utah – before former Browns General Manager Tom Heckert selected him in the second round of the 2012 supplemental draft.To read more or comment...
Browns Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown claims a 1964 NFL championship ring listed for sale in an online auction was stolen from him more than 40 years ago.
The ring listed on Lelands.com has received four bids. The highest offer was $33,275. The auction is scheduled to end at 9 p.m. July 25, according to the website.
"It was stolen from me many years ago, in the late 1960s," Brown, a special adviser for the Browns, told the St. Paul Pioneer Press today. "I'm surprised to hear that it's publicly for sale because whoever got it should know that I didn't give it up.''
The following excerpt from the listing on Lelands.com paints a different picture: "The ring was obtained directly from a Brown immediate family member and sold by Lelands.com in 1998. During that original auction preview, Jim Brown himself inspected the ring and acknowledged its authenticity. … The provenance and chain of title is well-documented: Jim Brown to family member to Lelands to Cleveland Sport Collection auction buyer back to Lelands.com and now to you."To read more or comment...

The party continued for Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel as he reportedly returned to Las Vegas this past week. Then speculation and controversy ensued.
The 22nd overall pick in May's NFL Draft, Manziel sparked debate from coast to coast six weeks ago by vacationing in Vegas just before Memorial Day. He posed for poolside photographs with New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and bikini-clad women. He was caught on video spraying champagne into a crowd of dancers at a nightclub.
His partying has been documented every week since.
Manziel, 21, partied at XS nightclub at Encore during Fourth of July weekend, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Sunday night.

Browns All-Pro wide receiver Josh Gordon has established himself as one of the best players in the NFL when he's on the field. Unfortunately, he cannot stay out of trouble off it.
Whether those off-field issues persist and cost him his career remains to be seen.
Gordon had another setback when he was arrested shortly before 3 a.m. today in Raleigh, N.C., charged with driving while impaired and cited for traveling 50 mph in a 35 mph zone, Raleigh Police Department director of public affairs Jim Sughrue said this afternoon.
A person charged with DWI in North Carolina is deemed "under the influence of an impairing substance" such as alcohol or a drug. Chemical analysis is used.To read more or comment...

Browns Pro Bowler Jordan Cameron will no longer be pigeonholed based on his Twitter bio because he made a notable change to it today.
The short bio reads, "Pro Bowl pass catcher for the Browns." It used to read, "Pro Bowl TE for the Browns."
Cameron's edit is a reaction to arbitrator Stephen Burbank's ruling today that New Orleans Saints Pro Bowler Jimmy Graham is a tight end and not a wide receiver for franchise-tag purposes. The cost to franchise a tight end is $7 million compared to $12.3 million for a wide receiver, so there's a difference of $5.3 million between the two positions.To read more or comment...
Is Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel really tired of the attention and hype that he complained about Friday during the NFL Rookie Symposium?

Not really the 'big' society is it?
Compare that to the £450,000.00 pay off for bumbling BBC boss George Entwistle and we get some idea of priorities in the public sector.

The same question pops into the mind of nearly every patient being treated by a young doctor or surgeon: How many times has he or she performed this procedure? Could I be the first? Though medical residency education has always been structured so that you are never in fact "the first," new simulation technologies have come online that provide residents and student nurses with more—and more varied—clinical experience than was ever thought possible, all before ever seeing a single patient.
The Brooklyn Hospital Center has created a simulation laboratory equipped with this state-of-the-art technology, which lets students practice interventions on highly realistic, computer-controlled mannequins and other materials that replicate human tissue and biological systems.
According to Chief Academic Officer Benson Yeh, MD, the simulation lab—located right in our Downtown Campus—represents a paradigm shift occurring in medical education taking hold throughout the country.
"It used to be taken for granted that nearly all residency-level education needed to happen in the traditional way," said Yeh, referring to the time-honored process of following the course of illness and recovery throughout the arc of a patient's hospital stay.
"But new technologies have turned that model upside down. Some procedures can be taught almost exclusively in our simulation lab, thus avoiding patient risk. It's a win-win situation for patients and medical students."
The high fidelity of today's simulation technologies opens up two important educational doorways.
"Simulation labs are great for helping students learn procedural competencies like inserting a central venous catheter line or performing laparoscopic surgery," said Dr. Yeh. The technology gives residents the chance to practice an intervention dozens or even hundreds of times. They can even replay a video of their own work on a computer.
But as helpful as it is for developing fine motor skills, medical simulation really shines when it comes to teaching students how to make complex diagnoses and treatment choices, both of which require weighing multiple pieces of information either simultaneously or in quick succession.
"It's not enough for a student to recognize that a patient is in distress," said Dr. Yeh by way of example.
"You have to consider the age and gender of the patient, his or her vital signs, prior medical history, and so on. All of these data points guide the decisions a doctor makes from moment to moment, with each new piece of information or change in the patient's condition potentially leading to a new branch of choices. Simulation laboratories like ours help students acquire these judgment skills. You can't get this from a conventional academic setting."
Despite the great potential for competency building, it's interesting to note the technology has other, unexpected, educational uses. While no technology in and of itself can teach compassionate healthcare, the simulation lab provides "real opportunities for doctors and nurses in training to see the world through the patient's point-of-view," said Nurse Christine Fothergill-Cox, Director of Nursing Education for The Brooklyn Hospital Center.
This may require a bit of clever misdirection, however.
A student may enter a simulation thinking the objective is just fine tuning a clinical skill, but the real goal of the session may be to reveal how attentive the caregiver is to a patient's level of pain. "Students come away understanding that it's not enough to give great care technically," said Fothergill-Cox. "You also have to help your patients avoid any unnecessary discomfort."

POSCO ICT Builds Agile IT Infrastructure with Red Hat Solutions on Intel Xeon Servers
February 25, 2013
POSCO ICT wanted to replace its complex IT infrastructure with one that is cost effective, scalable, agile, and flexible. With Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® and Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers, the IT service provider's new IT infrastructure can easily adapt to and meet changing business needs.
Customer: POSCO ICT
"Red Hat helped us in our migration and made maintenance and operation much easier. We now have an agile IT infrastructure with lower TCO that can adapt quickly to business changes. Red Hat technologies also help us avoid vendor lock-in, and give us freedom of choice." UiJae Lee
POSCO ICT wanted to replace its complex IT infrastructure with one that is cost effective, scalable, agile, and flexible.
From UNIX running on mainframe computers to Linux running on Intel Xeon processor-based servers; From physical to virtual servers
Red Hat Enterprise Linux, High-Availability Add-on
Intel Xeon processor-based, IBM, HP x86 servers
With Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® and Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers, the IT service provider's new IT infrastructure can easily adapt to and meet changing business needs.
About POSCO ICT POSCO ICT offers IT services covering engineering, automation, system integration, and IT outsourcing. It also paves the way to new growth areas such as LED, smart grid, and ubiquitous city projects. POSCO ICT mainly supports the IT infrastructures of the steel mills of POSCO, a multinational steelmaker based in Korea.
Complex IT infrastructure
As an IT service provider, POSCO ICT built and maintained an IT infrastructure to deliver services to and support its customers. Over time, this IT infrastructure became very complex, comprising many different hardware and operating systems including Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Microsoft Windows servers. A plethora of applications—such as enterprise resource planning, enterprise application integration, database, content management, email, e-learning, knowledge management system, and single sign-on were served by many small systems.
The complexity and inefficiency of the IT infrastructure made it increasingly difficult for POSCO ICT to provide timely services and support business requirements. There was a need to merge the many systems running small tasks onto larger systems. This required a reliable high-performance operating system. Equally important was the need to simplify the legacy software running on different environments, which also required a more flexible and scalable operating system.
To overcome these challenges, POSCO ICT replaced its legacy IT infrastructure with a new one based on Linux and a third-party virtualization platform running on Intel Xeon processor-based servers. From 2004, several projects were launched to move AIX and Solaris-based systems to HP-UX and SUSE Linux. Most of the systems were virtualized using VMware solutions. Supporting the various flavours of UNIX required quality technical support.
In 2007, the aging Linux systems needed to be upgraded to meet the demands of a long- term project. As SUSE did not fit the project's requirements, POSCO ICT began looking for another solution.
The main goals of the planned migration were to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) for the IT infrastructure, improve agility, apply new technologies for business innovation, and avoid vendor lock-in.
"Our TCO was relatively high, as our systems faced compatibility and interoperability issues," said UiJae Lee, operating team manager of POSCO ICT. "The existing IT infrastructure could not properly support business changes on time."
The new operating system needed be UNIX-like and cost-effective to reduce TCO and the migration cost of legacy applications. High availability was also a key consideration, as it's essential to run mission-critical systems with minimal downtime. Another criterion was the availability of compilers for a variety of programming languages needed for the migration of legacy software.
Based on this set of criteria, POSCO IT evaluated the available options and selected Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
"In addition to meeting our criteria, Red Hat solutions included high-quality technical support," said Lee. "We also valued Red Hat's partnerships and connections with other vendors, including Intel and VMware."
Red Hat and Intel form the core
In 2007, POSCO ICT began deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Intel Xeon processor-based servers, replacing some of its HP-UX-based servers. The migration process continued until 2010 when Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Intel Xeon processor-based servers formed the core of the IT infrastructure. Half of the 400 physical servers are now running on the Red Hat solution, with another 200 to 300 virtual machines running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux on the VMware vSphere environment.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the default platform for POSCO ICT's internal and external services. The High Availability Add-on is deployed for some mission-critical systems. The new ecosystem also includes VMware vSphere, Oracle Database, Microsoft Windows 2003 Server, and several SUSE Linux and UNIX systems that are being retained to run legacy software.
Quality solution backed by top-notch support.
"Since more than 400 systems were running on VMware and were installed with many third-party solutions, Red Hat advanced technical support services are critical for handling multi-vendor issues," said Lee. "The right support helps us avoid problems in our mission-critical systems."
In addition, Red Hat delivered quality technical services through a Technical Account Manager (TAM) with deep understanding of the project.
The TAM supports the maintenance project team, bringing proactive responses to potential problems, sharing technical knowledge, and keeping the POSCO ICT team updated on new and emerging technologies.
"The TAM helps keep our IT infrastructure more stable and provides invaluable advice on developing our future IT infrastructure," said Lee. "He continuously monitors our environment and understands the history of changes.
For its 2012 datacenter relocation, POSCO ICT engaged Red Hat Consulting, which helped greatly with on-site consulting--assessing potential risks, checking systems, and troubleshooting.
"The relocation was successfully completed without any major incident because of the consulting engagement and our TAM," said Lee.
Extending into the cloud
POSCO ICT is very pleased with their Red Hat deployment, which has resulted in an agile, flexible IT infrastructure.
"Red Hat helped us in our migration and made maintenance and operation much easier," said Lee. "We now have an agile IT infrastructure with lower TCO that can adapt quickly to business changes. Red Hat technologies on Intel Xeon processor-based servers also help us avoid vendor lock-in, giving us freedom of choice."
With an agile IT infrastructure in place, POSCO ICT is looking at extending into the cloud.
"Because of the success of our migration and Red Hat's broad ecosystem of technologies and partners, we are now considering other Red Hat solutions such as Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, Red Hat Storage Server, and Red Hat Cloud solutions," said Lee.

Pants too long
these pants are comfy but way too long. i'm tall and they are way too long even for me. maybe they will shrink after I wash them a few times.
Mandeville LA
Comfy (but long)
I LOVE THESE PANTS! That being said, I wish they weren't so long. I wear these pants everywhere. They're perfect for weekends or evenings when you don't want to wear jeans. They're SUPER comfortable! I'm a teacher, and I even wear them to work. Because they are so long I put a pair of high heal boots on and they're the perfect length. If I wear them around the house in bare feet the length really gets in the way. I ordered a pair several months ago and loved them so much I ordered 2 more pairs. Two of pairs ended up shrinking just enough that I can wear them with flats and they're the perfect length. The other pair stayed long, and that's the pair I wear with boots. I'm 5'6" and about 150 lbs. I purchased the large and (besides the length) they fit perfectly in the waist and hips! Not tight at all. In fact, I think they're very flattering. I'm back to order more.

These pants are very comfortable,they are a little long for me.. but, I can always fix the length, that's no problem.. and the fabric is soft..I bought a size medium... and they fit just right... Chadwick.. thank you for sending my order in a timely manner.. it arrived on the day you said it would...
3:39 pm
Just as a note for those reviewers who said the pants are really long - they are sized Tall. Thats why they are so long. So if you are buying them, be aware that they will be really long on everyone...unless you are 6 ft!

Springfield, Mass. -- February 19, 2011 -- Abby Connors netted a game-high 17 points to lead the Springfield College women's basketball team to a 61-54 win over Wellesley College in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action on Saturday.
Connors, who along with teammate Rachelle Walker was playing in her final regular season home game, came through in the clutch for the Pride in the overtime session.
Springfield improves to 12-13, 12-6 in league play, while Wellesley evened its record to 12-12, 9-9. Springfield finished the season in a tie for third place in the standings with Smith, but due to the Pioneers sweep of the Pride this season, Springfield will be seeded fourth in the upcoming NEWMAC Championship and will play fifth-seeded Wellesley at 7:00 pm on Wednesday evening.
Connors tallied 17 points and five assists, both game-high's, to pace the hosts. Megan Biondolillo came off the bench to register 14 points, including four three-pointers, while Kelly Murphy added nine points and seven rebounds. Emily Walker also hauled in 14 rebounds for Springfield.
For Wellesley, four players recorded double figures in the scoring column, with Becca Kimball leading the way with 13 points, five boards, and three helpers. Malia Maier notched 12 points, eight rebounds, eight steals, and four assists, while Elisha Orama recorded 11 points. Ashleigh Sargent chipped in with 10 points, and Leslie Leong pulled down 11 rebounds.
Springfield shot 22-57 (38.6%) for the game, while the Blue hit 22-73 attempts (30.1%). Springfield held a slight 46-44 edge on the boards, but turned the ball over 20 times compared to 13 Blue miscues. The teams combined to attempt 55 three-pointers, making just 14.
The Blue opened a five-point lead at the 7:26 mark when Sargent connected on a bucket inside to give the visitors a 16-11 edge. The Pride responded with an 8-2 run, fueled by five points from Connors, to earn a 19-18 advantage. A three in the corner by Biondolillo with 1:24 remaining would give Springfield's its largest lead of the half, a 24-21 lead. Kimball then scored inside with 18 seconds remaining to make it a 24-23 contest heading into the half. Despite shooting 40% from the floor, Springfield didn't' do itself any favors committing 11 turnovers in the frame, which Wellesley turned into 10 points.
After Connors drilled a deep jumper at the 13:28 mark of the second half, Springfield held a comfortable eight point lead, 36-28. However, the Pride would experience a serious drought as the Blue poured on a 16-0 run over the next 9:12 to open up a 44-36 lead of its own. Murphy finally broke the scoreless spell with a three, which kick started an 8-0 Springfield burst which evened the game at 44. Sargent put the hosts up two after a jumper in the paint, only to have Rachel Landon put back a Connors miss with 49 seconds left to send the game into overtime.
Malia gave Wellesley its final lead of the afternoon after she buried a triple 1:23 into the overtime session. Springfield used back-to-back threes by Connors and Biondolillo 32 seconds apart to snag the lead for good. A Maier runner in the paint brought the Blue within one at 52-51 with 2:18 left, but Connors delivered a beautiful feed to Landon on the ensuing possession to put SC back up three. Connors then stole the ball on the Blue's next offensive trip and Springfield hit 7-of-8 from the charity stripe to clinch the conference victory.

Submitted to the City of Oakland Office of Parks and Recreation.
A Brief HistoryThis is not a part of the official report. This is a historical perspective of the genesis of the report.
by Eric Muhler
In mid-1999, a small group of citizens began complaining about bicycle use in Joaquin Miller Park. Then Director of Oakland Recreation and Parks, Tony Acosta, called for a series of citizens meetings. This process began in November of 1999. From those first meetings, Mr. Acosta made a series of recommendations to the Oakland City Council for how to handle the complaints of off-trail riding in JM Park. The Council ultimately adopted those recommendations which included formation of a Trails Working Group of any and all concerned citizens to meet and work on improving the problems found in the park. Some of the members of this group felt that the park was verging on ecological disaster and strongly wanted a scientific study to be done of trails, stream beds, erosion, the redwood forest, and understory growth in the park. Cyclist members of the group felt that the study was a good idea because any scientific study would show that bicycles were a very small factor in trail problems, silting of streams, damage to redwood trees, and understory growth. The City of Oakland commissioned the study from William Lettis & Associates which was one of about five proposals for the study that were submitted to the group. A majority of the group, led by the faction that believed ecological disaster was imminent in the park, voted for the Lettis Goup to conduct the study. We are happy to post the report here, and feel that all of our points have been made by an independent, scientific, survey of the real forces that create problems in the park. Please take the time to read all of this report carefully. Where bicyclists have made problems, they are duly noted. However, the report makes it quite clear that rainwater, above-grade (10% slope) trails, poor design, landslides, non- native plant species, and trampling from ALL park users are the real problems facing the park. BTCEB has already addressed several of the trail fixes outlined in the Appendix at the end. We look forward to working with all concerned park lovers to ameliorate the additional problems outlined in this report. Joint concern and effort rather than finger pointing and exclusion are the keys to a successful park experience for ALL users.
