Prince Henry's iPad plan causes uproar among parents
9:13am Friday 20th December 2013 in News By Annette McIntyre, Reporter
Parents have formed online groups to co-ordinate opposition to an Otley school's 'buy an iPad' scheme.
Further claims for and against the proposal by Prince Henry's Grammar School have also been made following last week's intervention by the Town Council.
The council is calling for a rethink on a project that would see Key Stage 3 students provided with individual iPads – in return, in most cases, for £360 over three years contribution.
That call has been backed by some parents who have set up Facebook groups Prince Henry's Parents for Democracy and PHGS Open Forum to give greater voice to their concerns.
They claim the school is "emotionally blackmailing" them into signing up for a scheme that is educationally questionable and could end up costing more than £800 per child.
But others are supporting the school's contention that the proposal would boost achievement levels.
Pool-in-Wharfedale resident Nick Girling said: "The small-minded thinking of a few often spoils things for everyone else, and the council's misinformed approach is yet another example of their seemingly deliberate strategy of holding our community back.
"It is hard to understand how £360 over three years can be such a hardship, which is why 90 per cent of parents have been in favour, and for those families really struggling the school has a plan in place to support them.
"Furthermore I (and I am sure other parents) would be willing to pay a little more to help out.
"By the time our Year 8 students leave school, competition for jobs and university places will be even more intense.
"Only the very best will make it, so to enable them with every modern tool available is essential."
Parent Leonie Sharp, however, welcomed the council's stance. She said: "I, like others, am supporting a Facebook forum calling for proper consultation and a rethink.
"I do not want my daughter to be left out but that doesn't mean I support the scheme.
"I will be forced to pay for an iPad 2, which is already an obsolete piece of kit, at over the market rate of £300-plus and in three years it will be completely out of date.
"I only have one child but what about those with two or three having to fork out an additional £30 per month in these harsh times?
"I do not have any empirical evidence this will benefit my daughter's education and I am concerned for her safety and that of the other children who would be walking around Otley known to have iPads in their bags."
Some parents have claimed that the total costs for a child starting in Year 7 and staying through to sixth form would amount to £840-plus.
Prince Henry's insists it has consulted properly, holding three meetings, and that the project will only proceed if the overwhelming majority of parents back it.

This is clearly undemocratic and (especially in view of the loaded questions on the voting slip) is designed to skew the vote in favour of the ipads.
There are a large number of issues (including child safety, value for money, misuse of the mechanism for charitable donations etc) which have not been discussed and, in true Sheriff of PHGS Academy style, never will.
These measures will disadvantage those who cannot afford the monthly payments (the use of the word donation by the school is deliberately misleading) and possibly put less well off future parents from applying for school places - maybe this is the intention.

I also wonder just how much educational experience Nick Girling actually has. As a long standing university lecture in this area, I must disagree that not giving students iPad will 'hold them back'. In my experience with university students, I'm constantly trying to get them to do the ground work before they begin to play with the technology. I can also assure you that my children will view the new iPad as toys first and occasionally do some 'homework' with them.
Regarding the cost, well again many well-reasoned comments have been given on the Facebook page, but simply expecting parents to pay well over the odds for what is essentially an outdated technological toy isn't something that will offer our children much educational value. It's a well marketed gimmick (professionally speaking) there are many cheaper more advanced alternatives, but a proper debate needs to be had and parents need to know the facts before they make any decisions.
I also feel saddened by his disregard towards the cost. Many parents have two children and £20 a month is a substantial amount of money, especially in our current economic times. Not everybody can afford this which is why it is my belief that the vast majority of parents (who haven't sent forms back) are unsure about the scheme.
Anyway, please do visit the Facebook page if you need more information and reasoned respectful debate. But please do consider it a forum for all things PHGS related, I dint just set it up to campaign against the introduction of the IPads but that is the first topic of conversation.

I returned my slip after very careful consideration commenting that I wasn't in favour but felt under pressure to say yes because I didn't want my child to be 'the only one without an iPad' when they were using them in class. I don't want her to have her own iPad. We have a family iPad as well as lap top and she has an iPod, phone and Kindle.
I do have an education background and I also have a 12 year old and know how difficult it is already to limit screen time. Homework has to be more creative than searching Google.
And finally, the true cost of keeping just one child in an iPad over their school career must be considered. I realize that for many, £10 a month is nothing, but for many it is a massive commitment. We have food banks in Otley. People are struggling.

No problem with those who can afford to contribute covering those who can't .... that is what our society is built on... that makes me proud to be in a developed country,!! However the idea of children learning on iPad's is just a trendy idea that must have sounded great at a teachers meeting... Teach them how to use Microsoft Office on laptops.... more useful in the real world and cheaper.... !!!!. ... although they do use them in 'pets at home' ... but unfortunately they are cheap Android ones.....

Alfa Romeo Automobiles S.p.A., commonly referred to simply as "Alfa," is an Italian automaker owned by Fiat. The company got its start in 1910 and has become well known for building high end sports cars that are beloved by enthusiasts of the brand.
1. Origin
The company that would become Alfa Romeo was initially founded as Società Anonima Italiana Darracq (SAID) in 1906 by the French automobile firm of Alexandre Darracq, along with some Italian investors. By late 1909, the Italian Darracq cars were selling slowly and thus the other Italian investors decided to found a new company in 1910, which they named A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili). Initially, they were still in partnership with Darracq however, later in 1910 the company produced its first non-Darracq car. The Romeo designation would come later from Italian entrepreneur Nicola Romeo, who took control of the company in 1915 not long after the onset of the First World War, and renaming it Alfa Romeo in 1920.
For the first decade of its existence, barring the final three years of WWI when automobile production was halted and the company instead focused on the production of items for the Italian and Allied war efforts, the company produced street vehicles and successful race cars. A famous driver of Alfa Romeo race cars was Enzo Ferrari, the creator and namesake of Ferrari automobiles. In 1928, Nicola Romeo left the company and it essentially went broke after its defense contracts from the war had ended. In 1932, the Italian government stepped in, funding Alfa Romeo and effectively taking control of the company for the next 54 years.
Post WWII and Beyond
After WWII, Alfa Romeo continued to build compact street and race cars, enjoying modest success in the racing circuits. By the 1970's the company was once again facing financial problems. Finmeccanica, a subholding company fully owned at the time by the Italian state owned holding company Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale (IRI), was in control of Alfa Romeo but had struggled to make a profit for years. So, in 1986, it sold Alfa Romeo to the Fiat Group (formally known as Fiat S.p.A.). The Fiat Group then merged Alfa Romeo with Lancia, another Italian automotive brand the company owned, and formed a new group within its Fiat Auto S.p.A. subsidiary known as "Alfa Lancia S.p.A.", which started trading in 1987. In 2007, Fiat S.p.A reorganized its automobile business and Fiat Auto S.p.A became Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiat S.p.A. The renamed subsidiary included five companies as part of the restructuring: Alfa Romeo Automobiles S.p.A., Lancia Automobiles S.p.A., Fiat Automobiles S.p.A., Fiat Professional (light commercial vehicles) and Abarth & C S.p.A. The Fiat Group's other automotive companies, Ferrari S.p.A. and Maserati S.p.A, each would operate independently under ownership of Fiat S.p.A.
Alfa Romeo has been known for its boastful nature and clever, risky advertisements. Having gone so far as to say Alfa Romeo enthusiasm is a type of illness, there is little doubt about the passion owners feel for these wonderful vehicles. Rare and unique, Alfa Romeo automobiles feature some of the most distinctive styling and impressive engineering available. In 2006, it was announced that Alfa Romeo would resume sales in the United States, having ceased exporting cars to the U.S. back in 1995. The first Ala Romeo models in the U.S. rolled off the assembly line in 2008 and legions of Alfa Romeo fans continue to wait impatiently for the arrival of more Alfa Romeo models on these shores.

A very generous person just offered to give me a copy of the Mouseguard comic
The Copper Age is my Golden Age
My 2014 1000 comic progress
My shop loses money on it too, lot of parents from the local college (Dartmouth) bring their kids in and take as many free comics as they can grab (one of each, guess my shop's less restrictive) and then they leave without buying anything. Most don't even take a courtesy look around before booking it with their loot. The Newbury Comics down the street (for those not familiar, mostly a music/hipster clothing and accessories store that has a small rack of comics despite the name) lets anybody take any amount they like, and usually they're out by 11 am (sadly mostly people grabbing piles of 10-20 to put on ebay).
I wanted the Buffy/Guild book, but didn't get it. I planned on getting there right when the shop opened, but I got there a little late because of other commitments, so I don't know if they even had it. My shop allowed 10 books, one copy of each per person, though, so there was no shortage of other stuff to pick up. I was really surprised at how good the Mega Man comic is. I bought a bunch of stuff, too, although for some weird reason they're having a big sale next week, not this week.

Cylinder-leakage tests reveal clues about compression loss
Behold, the engine in your service bay with low compression. Just how do you find where the leakage is?
Cylinder-leakage testing really proves itself when you pinpoint the leak source:
• Air escaping out the tailpipe indicates a leaky exhaust valve.
• Air escaping into the intake manifold tells you there's a leaky intake valve.
• Air escaping into the radiator indicates a compression leak into the cooling system through a bad head gasket or a crack in the head or cylinder.
• Air escaping into the crankcase indicates blow-by due to worn rings, a worn or damaged cylinder, or a cracked or burned piston (for further diagnosis, a "wet" leakage test is needed).
With a dry leakage test, you can tell whether the blow-by problem is due to the rings or taper wear in the cylinder by turning the crank to reposition the piston halfway down the cylinder. Cylinder wear is always greatest at the top, so moving the piston down from TDC should reduce the amount of leakage if taper is the problem. If the rate of leakage decreases, you've identified the problem and further diagnosis isn't needed. But if the rate of leakage remains unchanged, it tells you that taper wear is negligible and that the problem is either rings or possibly piston damage. That's where the wet test comes in.
Squirt a little oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole to temporarily seal the rings. Turn the engine over several times so the oil will spread around the rings. Make sure the piston is back at TDC and repeat the leakage test. If the rate of leakage is now lower, the rings are causing the blow-by problem. No change? Then you've confirmed piston damage.
In the event that a leakage test doesn't show a problem, the fault may lie with the valve train. After all, a perfectly tight cylinder with a worn cam lobe, bent pushrod or damaged rocker arm will run just as bad as an engine with a burned valve. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to check other than yank off the valve cover and take a peek.
Add cylinder-leakage testing to your diagnostic strategies. You'll quickly learn it makes cylinder diagnosis a more clockwork than guesswork procedure.

Some may prefer Alakazam as their Psychic-type of choice, probably thanks to its magnificent moustache, or perhaps the slow and ugly Reuniclus. However, Unown does the job of a Psychic-type just as well this generation as always. To be blunt, it is unknown why one would choose not to use Unown. Unchanged from DPP, it deals with most of the OU threats that would otherwise roam free—unless it gets hit first, of course.
This is Unown's master moveset, perfect and beautiful in its design. Unown is the most versatile of all Pokemon; it can choose from any of the three suggested Hidden Powers to counter the great powerhouses of OU. The damage calculations below showcase its might against the puny Dragon-types and other plebeians weak to Hidden Power Ice:
It can even OHKO Dragonite after Stealth Rock damage! Unown becomes so powerful that it is also able to crush many other dangerous OU threats, swiftly dispatching them to the depths of Hell they should have never left, should it choose Hidden Power Fighting:
But that's not all! The third option, being the powerful STAB Psychic-type Hidden Power, will tear to shreds other important opposing forces, such as:
After all, who doesn't want almighty and powerful sweepers like Magikarp OHKOed? Unown is a solid staple in any team and it will not deceive you. The ability to OHKO Toxicroak with its superior Psychic-type powers will come in handy when you have to face the troublesome rain teams that plague the current metagame. All of the OU powerhouses will, ultimately, fall to Unown's might.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Whilst this set does not grant the incredible damage Choice Specs Unown can deal, being the speediest in the current metagame—faster than those living in the modern world—is key to success. The most powerful Unown can outspeed several foes with a Timid nature such as Jolly Gliscor, Jolly 176 Speed Jirachi, and Adamant Salamence. Should you choose to take the more powerful choice and try a Modest nature instead, almighty Unown can still outspeed Jolly Gyarados, Timid Heatran, Jolly Breloom and Jolly Cloyster, allowing it to utterly destroy these enemies with the Hidden Power of choice.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
You can literally run any type of Hidden Power! Unown has an option for every type and its power knows no limits—other than being hit by any other opposing Pokemon, of course. Unown wouldn't want to learn any other moves anyway, because it does not need them. Hidden Power is all it needs to wreak havoc, cause despair, and spread fear amongst the opposing team. Using stronger moves such as the boring Fire Blast, Hydro Pump, or Draco Meteor would make Unown a little girl who can't fight and likes to risk a miss that could cost you a game. Unown is no gambler.
Checks and Counters
Literally nothing can counter or check almighty Unown, as it is a force to be reckoned with by all teams. Well, nothing unless you face that rare opposing Pokemon that's either faster, has a damaging move, resists its Hidden Power type, has an existent Special Defense stat, has a priority move, or is just not Unown.

I wanted to like this recipe. It didn't have much of a different taste (to me) than regular iced tea. Also, I agree with the other review that says if you are used to sweet tea, add more sugar/sweetner. I thought that it was very tart. Just not my cup (glass) of tea ;)
Reviewed Mar. 24, 2010
This tea was good but for those who like sweet tea you might want to add more sugar as some of my family members added more sugar since they like their tea sweet. But for me i would make it again since it is different.

2014 Harley-Davidson® Sportster® Iron 883™
Iron 883™ Key Features
Iron 883™
Key Features
Side-Mounted License Plate
True to the clean, fast lines of the bike, the side-mounted license plate leaves the rear fender surface smooth and uncluttered. Minimal and unique—every inch of the Iron 883™ motorcycle is styled to perfection to achieve a raw, custom look.
Stop-Turn-Tail Lights
Old school looks meet new-school engineering. Black, retro-style bullet taillights combine functionality to work twice as hard—stop beams and running lights plus turn indicators in two low-profile rear lamps. This eliminates the need for extra lights, creating a clean, minimal look.
Blacked Out Look
The Iron 883™ model is the anti-chrome motorcycle—decked in black from front to back with a defiant attitude that embraces the pure essence of riding. Black powder-coated 883cc engine with black rocker covers. Black chopped fenders that show off a lot of rubber. Black front forks with gators add an old-school look. Black oil tank cover, belt guard and drag bars. And black cast aluminum wheels that shoot Iron 883™ motorcycle into the modern rebel culture and keeps the rebellious fire burning with plenty of freedom for customization.
Classic Peanut Fuel Tank
As one of the defining features of Harley-Davidson® Sportster® models for decades, the classic 3.3 gallon tapered peanut fuel tank still holds strong today with its traditional styling and modern attitude. Following the line of the bike from front to back, the peanut tank angles down just right into the solo Sportster seat. Attitude and looks all balled up into one.
Drag-Style Handlebar
The low-rise, slammed black drag-style handlebar and black finish hand controls add to the stripped down, minimal look of the Iron 883™ motorcycle. Born at the drag strip, the drag-style handlebar is an old school garage feature that puts you in a forward, aggressive riding position.
Hard Candy Custom™ Paint
Hard Candy Custom™ paint is a large metal flake finish that's more than just paint job, it's a shining declaration of independence—bright, bold and unique. If you'd like to have your Iron 883™ motorcycle dripping with even more custom attitude and unruly style, finish it off with optional new Hard Candy Voodoo Purple Flake paint. This is big, bold metal flake paint laid down the old school way, with layer upon layer of hand-sanded clear coat. It'll put even more dark magic on your tank and fenders.
Evolution® Engine Heritage
The Evolution® engine—known in certain crowds as the Blockhead—was first bolted to the frame of a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle back in 1984. Born from legendary Shovelhead and Ironhead engines, the Evolution® engine broke new ground in displacement innovation while maintaining the hunger for power, durability and proven reliability that The Motor Company was built on.
Evolution® Engine Innovation
Air-cooled and durable as hell, the 883cc Evolution® engine is yet another nod to the unwavering work ethic that drives advancements in motor technology at Harley-Davidson. Aluminum heads and cylinders lighten the load of the bike and improve air-cooling efficiency. Electronic fuel injection says goodbye to carburetors and boasts increased reliability and less routine maintenance. Bottom line: the rubber-mounted Evolution® engine runs hard and rides smooth for thousands of miles so you can just worry about taking in the freedom of the open road.
Pure Harley-Davidson Styling
Feast your eyes on the 883cc Evolution® engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Black powder-coated cylinders, cylinder heads and rocker covers complete the dark look while chrome pushrods highlight the iconic V-Twin. It's a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Dripping with power. From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers—the 883cc Evolution® engine makes an ironclad statement to holding on to what's right and staying true to what satisfies the rider.
New Foundation Brake System
Like riding itself, you can never go too far when it comes to improving a bike's brakes. This is why for 2014 we gave the brake system of each Sportster model a complete overhaul designed to improve performance, fit and finish. We increased the size of the brake rotors from 292mm to 300mm, and added a more powerful, stylized front caliper with 34mm pistons, and stylized rear caliper to match. Other system features include an improved all-aluminum integrated rear master cylinder with reservoir, new all-aluminum front master cylinder with reduced friction and higher efficiency, and stainless steel braided lines. It all adds up to more confidence on the road, and more power and predictability when you squeeze the brakes.
Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) (Optional)
When the burrito exit comes out of nowhere, you'll need a little extra braking power. That's why we're proud to introduce optional anti-lock brakes (ABS) on all Sportster models. ABS improves overall braking performance, and keeps you from locking up under heavy braking. Plus, the entire system is smartly integrated into the design of the bike, so nothing gets in the way of your steel work of art. Because what's the point of stopping if you can't make a few heads turn?
New Ergonomic Hand Controls
If your hands feel good on the controls you'll feel good on the bike. Which is why when you twist the throttle of a Harley-Davidson, you just know. You feel more dialed in, comfortable and attuned to the road and everything around you. In designing the new hand controls we went the extra mile to make sure every operation is as intuitive, fluid and effortless as possible. So you can keep your eyes on what's over the next ridge and not what's under your thumb. Things like self-canceling turn signals that are right where you want them to be and brake levers that are easy for all riders to reach. We've added new features, too, like a trip switch and vehicle "start" switch on keyless models. Details that may seem small but make a huge difference on the road. Because it's tiny things like these that make a Harley-Davidson a Harley-Davidson.
Integrated Electrical System
Coursing through every 2014 Sportster model is a new body controller with updated routing. It has a cleaner look and reduces the number of wiring harnesses, switches, relays and fuses. Which is a fancy way of saying less fuss. We've also added a new voltage regulator with modified fins and integrated connectors to improve heat rejection. Like you, the 2014 Sportster® motorcycles are wired and ready to chase wind and eat up miles of pavement.
New Closed Loop Exhaust System
Designed to meet future worldwide emissions standards, and the standards of future generations of Harley-Davidson riders. The new closed loop exhaust system delivers heart-pounding performance in the key of the trademark Harley-Davidson rumble. With its robust, soul-stirring big twin design, new durable mufflers with exhaust shields, a catalyst and mini heated oxygen sensors that improve emissions and drivability, this system is not only better for the environment, it makes riding better.
H-D® Smart Security System (Optional)
The factory installed next-generation security system features a hands-free fob that automatically arms and disarms the vehicle electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the bike. Stick the fob on your ignition key ring and let it do all the work. It's this attention to details and security that make Harley-Davidson® motorcycles unique.
Tach and Gear Indicator Readout
Even though none of us would want to admit it, from time to time, we've all had to kick our shift lever back down to 1 to figure out what gear we were in. This year the Sportster® models get a new speedometer with a gear indicator readout and a tachometer you can activate with your trip switch. Now you've got all the information you need to keep it in the power band at the touch of a finger.
Low Seat & Slammed Suspension
The combination of a lowered front and rear suspension together with a low, narrow solo seat—just 25.7 inches high—provides comfort and confidence for riders of all sizes and experience. A responsive ride for whipping through town or busting out onto the interstate.
Michelin® Scorcher™ Tires
Michelin® Scorcher™ Tires provide the superior performance, sensational grip, impressive durability and excellent handling expected on a race-bred bike. The exclusive deep-cut tread design improves grip and water evacuation capability. Grip performance and durability is also enhanced by the tire's rubber compounds, which use the latest generation of Michelin synthetic polymers. Under the rear rubber, aramid belts are used to stabilize your ride, which helps inspire confidence in handling.
Mid-Mounted Controls
Let your boots fall where they may, naturally to the mid-mounted controls and rider foot pegs on the Iron 883™ model. An easy reach and tight rider triangle is confidence-inspiring for new riders eager to set off on their journey and riders whose legs run slightly shorter than others.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Of the following discs, which would you recommend for a 250 ft straight shot?
Also, why would you choose the golf disc that you chose?
Thanks for any advice
Views: 5
I know the answer for me, but I would tailor my answer to the person who needed help.
Personally, I'd use either the Roc or the Buzzz, depending on if I was carrying Discraft or Innova mids that day. Both discs will get out to to the 250' range nicely with good control. I like watching them sit down. The 150g Teebird is a good choice for someone with a little less arm, you don't have to throw it as hard to get it there. Not sure about the gazelle as I've never thrown one.
So, the answer is, depends on who's throwing.
Yea I got to agree with Chris.
For me, Now a Buzzz, I got a couple of real long birdies and an ace to prove it.
Now a year ago, when I couldn't throw as far, I would say the teebird. However just because its easier to get there does not make it the best choice. A disc that light will be an issue in any wind. Plus risk of Skip would be greater.
Pro D Buzz would be the easiest to control and get to lay down flat. The others would hyzer out at the end if new to the first stage of wear. If the Roc was beat well into the 2nd stage of wear you could do the same as with the Buzzz.
Ultimately, this all would depend on the power of the person throwing and how all of them are broken in (or not). If you were to hand me those 4 discs brand new and posed this question, I would say that the Pro D Buzzz would be the choice.
06 C.E. ROC.....or any Roc for that matter
id choose the roc cause its my go-to disc for almost anything..except scoobies...(it didnt work out well, carded a 10 )....its one of teh straightest and most predictable discs in my bag
What happened to your lover affair with the Buzzz Trae?

Josh Freeman released by Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' contentious relationship with quarterback Josh Freeman has finally come to an end. On Thursday morning, the Buccaneers released Freeman after trying to trade him for over a week. This followed a timeline of Freeman being benched before the Bucs' 13-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday, and there are those who have accused the team of leaking information about his involvement in the NFL's drug program.
"We made the decision today to release Josh Freeman," general manager Mark Dominik said in a statement released by the team. "We appreciate his efforts over the past five seasons, but we felt this was in the best interests of both Josh and the Buccaneers."
Freeman and second-year Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano seemed destined for a messy breakup. After the 2012 season, Tampa Bay selected North Carolina State quarterback Mike Glennon in the third round, and Schiano talked early and often about involving Glennon heavily in the preseason.
"What I can say is, a 4,000-yard passer, a touchdown record — there's a lot of things you say, 'Wow,'" Schiano told the Tampa Bay Times when asked about Freeman last December. "Are there things that frustrate you? Yeah. There's things that frustrate [about] him, too. And I'm not ducking the question, because quite frankly, I really like Josh Freeman. But I want to make sure I don't get ahead of my skis at all here and really evaluate every single thing to what's best for this organization. Do I think Josh Freeman is going to win Super Bowls in this league? I do. So, I hope that happens here. But again, at the end of the day, I have to evaluate everything before I can say that's what we're doing."
Freeman completed just 43-of-94 passes for 571 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in three games this season. But the schism between quarterback and coach seemed to be as much about personal dysfunction than anything happening on the field.
In a recent article for TheMMQB.com, Andrew Brandt wrote that after speaking to several Buccaneers players, he sensed an atmosphere of "fear and distrust" in the organization.
Players have told their agents about coaches roaming through the locker room (typically the players' sanctuary away from coaches) and staff videotaping players on the sidelines during losses to single out players laughing or horsing around. The players also speak to the influx of multiple Rutgers players from Schiano's past and the use of the phrase "Schiano Men," a term that clearly does not apply to Freeman.
And though Freeman was clearly not a "Schiano Man" for whatever reason, it's on the coach for polluting Freeman's value publicly. Freeman didn't show up for the team photo — a faux pas made public, was fined for giving an unauthorized interview to ESPN and was left to release a statement about his battles with ADHD after it was leaked that Freeman was a Stage 1 participant in the NFL's drug program. Freeman's agent, Erik Burkhardt, has accused the team of trying to blacken his client's name.
Freeman was selected in the first round of the 2009 draft and had one season left on his rookie contract. He is due a total of $8.43 million in base salary this season, and the Bucs are on the hook for all of it. Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports that since there are no offsets in Freeman's contract, he will pocket that full base and whatever he gets from a new team when he is signed elsewhere.
I would have kept him on the team and assigned him cleaning details of locker rooms, uniforms, etc. When your done with that, do all the lawn maintenance and wash and wax my car. From :, The man who signs your check !
A lot of racism on this thread. Do I need to remind some of you of Todd Maranovich, Ryan Leaf and a certain Mr Brett Favre - all of whom had problems with prescription drugs and in one case, weed?
Freeman = another black guy who is a lazy bum. Shocking.
Oh, By the way, Freeman is a marginal QB. He has gotten lazy in his latter years and it shows in his play. He obviously has the physical ability. Mentally, the game is either too tough for him, or he is lazy. If you have the physical tools, can make the throws, have the height to read the defense, but you are still not getting it done, you either have the world's poorest judgement, or you are lazy in watching the film and properly preparing. Look at Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Brady? Brady has half the physical ability, but you can tell he is MUCH SHARPER than Freeman, and it is because he puts in the mental work to perform well at his position. Freeman will be in the Arena League, or just retire to private life with the fat payday he has coming this year. Not many teams will give him a run considering how he started this little ruckus with his lackluster play, and then poor team sportsmanship.
Wow! Only about 3 weeks too late. This was an ugly situation that got uglier by the day. It is something else that after trashing this guy, they actually tried to trade him to another team. When you have something you want to get rid of, and want the best price, smart people talk UP the value. I do not know much about Schiano, but if what is going on in the background is really happening, his tenure in the NFL will be short. No one wants to play for someone they cannot trust!
I still think he is a solid young QB the right team he could be the answer for their QB situation.
Go to Jacksonville. Not only could they use MAJOR improvement at the QB position, and Freeman is really not that bad a QB, but with their situation they could possibly build a team around him over the next 2-3 seasons considering how high Jacksonville will be picking in the draft.
I hear Cleveland is looking for someone other than a former baseball pitcher....
Black, drug addict ,trouble making unhappy QB average ability cut no team in the NFL???? MMMM?? Future bleak very bleak. Bleak if Freeman was white.
The Bucs had to get rid of Freeman. They should be concern about the investigation into the leaks.
They have to pay him anyway, so who really lost here??
i think this cat likes snakes so he would make a good fit with the world champion Arizona Rattlers
The Bucs, my favorite NFL team would be crazy not to sign Tim Tebow at this point and run the read option. They have the players that would fit that style of play. Then again, I am biased. Go Gators, '81!
It was Freeman's agent who leaked the information about the drug tests. Why would the Bucs release information that would hurt his trade value? They wouldn't. The only person who stood to gain from releasing the drug information was Freeman. He got the release he wanted, he still gets paid the remainder of his contract, and has the slim chance of picking up a second paycheck with another team.
Good luck back in the projects selling crack on the corner Mr. Freeman.
Now release Schiano
Schiano is a piece of garbage
Freeman has problems until he deals with the, he will never be a good QB. Too much is being spread about him, blaming others. the Bucs and how they deal with their players should never be allowed. It's like slave management. Who is to blame for all this crap? Freeman, Bucs mgmt and rumors put out! this is a sad case of a drug using player and the Bucs themselves! It sucks to be a Bucs fan.
Congrats to the Tampa organization for turning a spitball fight into World War III.
Kind of ironic for a media article to find fault in the Bucs for leaking Freeman stories to the media.
He's making some good bucks either way.
Straight to the Jets
'Bout time.
He's a Free-man now
The coach looks like the problem here rather than the QB...Making the wrong hire at head coach is THE real franchise killer..Bad luck Tampa.
Jacksonville should be all over Josh Freeman like a fat kid on a Smartie. He, Blackmon and Drew-Jones should be able to ignite that offense there.
I really believe that Freeman can be a decent QB with the right coach. And by decent I mean win a little more than he loses and get his team to the playoffs a couple of times. Schiano is as bad as they come and Freeman had no chance with him. The Bucs need to can him right now. They have no chance to be a winner with him as head coach. None at all.
Green Bay behind Aaron Rodgers for a coupe seasons can do wonders for your bank account... Ask Matt Flynn
Schiano is next.
@tlm773458 How about Buffalo?
@joeshine730 Did you read the article? Drug addict? The dude is on medication, prescribed by a doctor for ADHD. The team said that, the NFL said that and so did Freeman. Dumbass.
@joeshine730 =racist Idiot
@HarshRealities Are you crazy? NO team was going to trade for Josh Freeman. They were not going to pay him his 8 million salary. He will be a free agent at the end of the season. What team would trade for him knowing he could/would walk away after half a season. If he has a slim chance of picking up a second paycheck with another team..then WHY would any team trade for him. Your logic makes no sense.
@thebigdawg3 You do realize he's made several million dollars in his brief NFL career, right??
@thebigdawg3 Spoken from the perspective of a 5th grade education and very limited life experience..
Is that where you buy your crack or are you a powdered cocaine man? There are 8 million reasons why Mr. Freeman won't be sellin crack or living in the projects anytime soon.
@thebigdawg3 R u his boss?
@mrfrogburger at best
@CharlesTerrito Slave management?? I'll take $8.43 million to be treated like that.
@MikeRennick Great post..talk about hypocrites..
@JeffGruntz If by "ignite", you mean that in the literal term that it will go completely up in flames when somehow all the controversy manages to bother the Jaguars even more, MJD angrily tears another part of his leg due to him not being the media's focal point for the Jaguars, and Blackmon being the only real offensive threat on the team to the point where defensives can double cover him and effectively shut down the entire Jaguar offense....then yes, Freeman would definitely ignite that offense.
@Rickapolis just ask Trent Dilfer how much success you can have as a "safe" QB on a team with a great defense.. he's been in that spot twice and got a ring..
@lastcall I think Schiano should have gone first.
typical hillbilly senseless rant
@Boogieman1281 @thebigdawg3 You do realize many ex-players have made millions in the NFL. Vince Young, JaMarcus Russell, Matt Lienart, Akili Smith, Andre Ware, and Ryan Leaf. They were all first rounders..... how much do they have in their bank accounts now, do you think?
Care to google? If they did not finish their degree, or make smart financial decisions.... they go back to what they do know.
Freeman has a chance to turn it around. He was stripped of being a Captain, by his peers.... That was on him, oversleeping and not showing up to scheduled team appearances, tells me he is going down. In a hurry.
Too early to tell whether he becomes a zero. To early to tell if he can turn this around.
Millions mean nothing in the hands of someone that knows nothing about financial responsibility. Ask Charles Rogers and Lawrence Phillips.
@jimnocock3 @thebigdawg3 What u must learn is not to reply to a PWT Poor White Trash, he's ignorant and WILL never be educated enough to speak abt anything. He can't afford powdered cocaine r u nutz, those ppl do Meth its cheaper than crack. He is just showing his Love of Blacks he wishes he could throw a football in the NFL and have a cute White girl wanna jump his bones just cuz he is a Black man. Racism is jealousy! you know how they used to talk about black womans butts were too big & their lips & breast until they were able to buy ALL these body parts for their woman, Now its cool! its all jealousy! sucks to be a PWT
@PAZSKY @MikeRennick Well they'll obviously report about it... that's their job. This whole situation points to an organizational failure though and so it's absolutely fair for them to point that out as well.
@Rickapolis @lastcall As do I.
@sugaslim @Bad1v @joeshine730 No kidding .... what?

BRYANT – After going a combined 85-8 for a .914 winning percentage its previous three state championship-winning seasons, the Bryant Lady Hornet softball team had a bit of a setback this past year not making it to the playoffs for the first time in Coach Debbie Clark's career. Bryant lost five more games in 2013, going 13-13 and 8-6 in the 7A/6A South conference, than it had the previous three seasons combined.
FAYETTEVILLE - There has always been a winning tradition when it comes to the Harmony Grove Lady Cardinals softball program. Winner of three state titles since the millennium, the Lady Cardinals have been geared back up and loaded to win a few more coming into the 2013 season.
FAYETTEVILLE - The 2013 season has been like none other for the Benton Lady Panthers. After losing a 2-1 heartbreaker in the state semifinals in 2012 to Russellville, Benton was forced to regroup and start working on another run this season. After tragedy struck in November when Lady Panther Drew Melton died in a car accident, the Lady Panthers had a long road ahead once again.
BENTON - Benton High School has become accustomed to having athletes play and succeed at the next level. While not everyone moves on to reach "Cliff Lee" status, the ones that play at the NCAA level usually make the most of it.
As for the 2013 Benton Panther basketball team, the "next level" will be chalked full of talent and former Panthers; one being 6-foot, 9-inch big man Graham Gardner who signed to play with College of the Ozarks in Branson, Mo., on Tuesday.
HASKELL - The Harmony Grove Lady Cardinals have been the hottest team in Saline County all season. Now sitting at 30-2 overall on the year, Harmony Grove is looking for its fourth 3A State Championship since winning three in a row from 2002-04.
While many tournament roads are not easy to travel, the Lady Cardinals have made easy work of their opponent in tournament play, winning three straight before entering the 2013 State Tournament recently. Harmony Grove won the Woodlawn, 3A District and Region 2 Regional tournaments in three straight weekends and now has a chance at more heroics.
BENTON – The Benton Panthers had a historic year this past season, winning a school-record 27 games opposed to just three losses, and losing in the semifinals of the 6A State Tournament. But the Panthers wouldn't have had their historic year, which included an undefeated 14-0 South Conference schedule, without two players who are trading in their paws for a different species.
BRYANT – Former Bryant senior Brooke Howell provided plenty of power for the Lady Hornets in her All-State career. Howell is now taking that power to north Arkansas as she signed to play volleyball for the Williams Baptist Lady Eagles (Walnut Ridge) on Wednesday at Bryant High School.
In fact her power became legend after one of her spikes hit an opposing player above the shoulders which resulted in a trip to the emergency room. Bryant Coach Beth Solomon said Howell was definitely the hardest hitter she's ever coached.
PINE BLUFF - The Harmony Grove Lady Cardinals have been on the positive end of history before, winning three straight state softball titles from 2002-04. Despite making state every year since, Harmony Grove as not brought home the title since.
But 2013 is a different scenario. With one of the strongest and most talented teams in school history, the Lady Cardinals have a chance to bring home the hardware once again after thumping the Rivercrest Lady Colts 10-1 on Monday in the semifinals in Pine Bluff.
ROGERS – With a 2-1 Rogers Mounties (West No. 4 seed) lead after five innings, the Bryant Hornets (West No. 2 seed) were right there to make their third trip to the 7A State Championship game in the past four seasons, but it was not to be as Rogers would score a combined 10 runs in the sixth and seventh innings on its way to a 12-2 win over the Hornets on Saturday in the semifinals of the 7A tourney.
NORTH LITTLE ROCK – It was a battle, but the West No. 2 seed Bryant Hornet boys soccer team came away with a 1-0 victory over host North Little Rock Charging Wildcats in the quarterfinals of the 7A State Tournament on Friday. With the Hornets' win, Bryant (20-2-1) played the Central No. 1 seed Fort Smith Northside Grizzlies at 2 p.m. on Saturday to determine which team will play for the 7A State Tournament Championship.
Against North Little Rock, senior Justin Travis scored four minutes into the game for the contest's only score.

Excellent service – The one thing that stands out about Frank's Steaks is their service. The waitress was excellent and really cared about making my experience good- she took the time to answer questions about the menu, offered recommendations and checked in frequently to make sure everything was ok. In fact, several people stopped by to see if I wanted anything else, asked me if my dinner was good etc- what a pleasant change from the typical service nowadays where you're treated almost as an afterthought. Anyway, about the food- I found it good but not remarkable. My filet mignon was good, but kind of fatty for that cut of meat, and although it was nice that they offered sides with the steak (mashed potatos and creamed spinach), they were relatively average. I've definitely had better on all accounts. What I was very disappointed with was the french onion soup. It was very peppery and lacked the light taste of wine that i enjoy in that dish. Also, the cheese was rather burned on top. I would not order that again. Since the service was so superior, I will probably go back again, but I was kind of let down with the meal, in general.
nice restaurant... noisy bar – This was our first time to Franks because of many recommendations. It was a Friday night and the bar was a little busy. We like to have a cocktail before being seated and found plenty of seats around the bar. As we sat and visited with our friends the bar seemed to get a bit too loud. To our surprise, the noise came from the barmaid. She seemed to be having more drinks then the patrons. When we decided to take our drinks to the table, there seemed to be a problem with forwarding the check. She insisted we pay her. After being seated we had the time of our life. The waitstaff was lovely. We had two wonderful servers who made sure our night was a success. Our table was constantly being taken care of. Next time we visit Franks we will be seated immediately and have our drinks at the table. Good Job!
Still good after all these years. – I have been going to this local Jericho Steak House for many years. Just like everyone else I venture outside my local area to dine at the many restaurants L.I. has to offer but you know I am always most satisfied when I come back to Frank's Steaks. Franks food is always good and consistant.
I love their caesar salad and cajun calamari for starters and the porterhouse steak is always terrific. They have a bartender named Suzie who makes up these tasty raspberry martinis rimmed with sugar that really starts the night off right.
Service is usually pretty good but the place gets so busy that sometimes service is a little slow. All I know is I get good value for the money and its not as pricey as the competition. Franks is a comfort zone for me and I reccomend highly.
Wild about Franks Steaks – I love New York steakhouses and have been to most of them but for the money this is the best value. Franks is not as pretentous as the others and they have a warm and friendly staff. I like how they treated us.
The Prime New York Strip was wonderful and they serve a delicious jumbo shrimp cocktail in a large goblet with lots of cocktail sauce and horseradish. The calamari and baked clams are as good as it gets. I also think the roasted chicken they serve is so good. The side dishes at Franks are very large and very good.
The Best Skirt Steak Ever – We had dinner on a busy Friday night and my friends and wife had some great appetizers. They serve a cajun calamari with a romoulade that is unique and terrifice. We als shared an order of Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with roasted peppers that was great.
Our server was busy but she gave us very good service. Our first round of drinks were served promptly and they had a nice selection of wines by the glass.
On her recommendation I had the "Franks Famous" Romanian Skirt Steak and can you believe it was really really great. My wife had the sesame encrusted Tuan steak that she loved. My friend ordered the Baby Back Ribs and could'nt say enough about the smoky sweet BBQ Sauce and how the meat just fell off the bone.eat. His wife had the New Zealand Lamb and was equally pleased. We had some family style side ishes and they have the best creamed spinach. The broccoli was fresh but a little to el dente for my taste.
You must try the deep dish cheesecake that I have never seen served that way. It was served in a jumbo coffee cup with raspberrry purre and was big enough to share. The server also told us the Triple Chocolate Layer Cake was made in house and was amazing.
We shared the two desserts and were totally stuffed and satisfied.
All together we loved Franks Steaks and will be going back again soon. The dinner for four with cocktails and wine cost us about $60 a person. Two Thumbs Up
awful fatty steak considering $40 for a prime ny strip sirloin - almost inedible to someone who has enjoyed good steaks at good steakhouses - very discouraging. you could go almost anywhere in the vicinity and do better
Franks Steakhouse wasted our dinner night out – We are 4 couples who get together for dinner, once a month, or so. We wanted to do a casual night out at a steakhouse. We had all been to Frank's but many years before, so we were anxious to try it again. First, the waiter dropped an entire drink on me as we were waiting for our meal. The manager was rude and then they refused to move us to another table that was open (which was not under the air-conditioner vent). I was drenched. Then we had to wait over 1 hour for the appetizers to get delivered. They were served luke warm. More mistakes with the entree's, and the night was a bust. Several of us got sick the next day. Coincidently friends of ours went the next week and they came home sick too, and complained about shoddy service and rude management.
Mr. Mario Convenuto – the shrimp cocktail with homemade horseradish is a great start and the steaks are outstanding but my favorite is the porterhouse for two. then you get to dessert there apple pie is unbeliveable and the surroundings are elligant and at the same time relaxed with paper table cloths for the kids to draw on and if good enough will find a place on the walls.
