PLAYERS: Rob Gronkowski
TEAMS: New England Patriots
TEAMS: New England Patriots
It was recently reported that New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski would require the fourth surgery on his injured forearm at some point this week. The Boston Herald confirmed yesterday that the time would be today, as Gronk is set to go under the knife this afternoon at Massachusetts General Hospital. The procedure will provide the Patriots a clearer timeframe for Gronkowski's potential return. If the operation reveals that the infection that's been in his arm has subsided, he'll be on pace to return in time for the start of the regular season, depending on the status of his back. However, if the infection is found to be lingering, he'll have to put the replacement of the plate in his arm on hold, further delaying his return. It will take doctors roughly a week to test for the infection. If it's found to have been defeated, Gronk will be able to have the plate removed and begin his 10- to 11-week recovery process. As mentioned, there are also concerns surrounding the tight end's back, which could further complicate his status. Follow @TheNFLInjuryRpt Looking for fantasy football advice?

Here's Eli Manning talking about receiver Brandon Stokley, who just joined the Giants last week: "He had a small package, but all of a sudden his package got a lot bigger in the middle of the game." Stokley didn't catch a pass. He was such a non-entity that I can't even find a photo of him from the game (hence the old Colts photo out front). Stokley's package? I got no idea.

Common Sense Media: When Texting Turns to Torment
Caroline Knorr, Common Sense Media
Wed Oct 10, 2:34 PM UTC
Too much texting, too much calling -- could your kid be the target of digital harassment?
- 76 percent of people ages 14-24 say that digital abuse is a serious problem.
- Compared to 2009, young people in 2011 were significantly more likely to step in if they saw someone "being mean online."
- Some of the most frequent forms of digital harassment include people writing things online that aren't true (26 percent), people writing things online that are mean (24%), and someone forwarding an IM or message that was intended to stay private (20 percent).
- Digital abuse isn't generally the act of strangers -- perpetrators are usually people the victims know well. (All of the above are from the 2011 AP-MTV Digital Abuse study)
What Is Digital Harassment?
Digital harassment is when kids and teens use cell phones, social networks, and other communications devices to bully, threaten, and aggressively badger someone. While it's a form of cyberbullying, "digital harassment" is a bit different because it usually takes place between two people in a romantic relationship.
Certainly, lots of young people conduct healthy relationships and use their online and mobile lives to stay connected to each other. But not all relationships are balanced -- especially with teens, whose emotional lives run at peak speeds.
Some relationships can become manipulative and controlling, and teens use the digital devices at their disposal to act out. A few texts a day can turn into a few hundred. Relentless and unreasonable demands escalate. The abuser presses for things like the other person's passwords (so they can check up on them) and sexy photos and forces their significant other to unfriend people whom the abuser doesn't like. They may spread lies, impersonate someone, or even resort to blackmail.
Why It Matters
Digital harassment has real consequences for those who've been targeted. A 2011 poll conducted by MTV and the Associated Press found that targets of this kind of abuse are more likely to consider dropping out of school, engage in risky behavior, and even think about suicide.
However, there's a bright spot in all this. The survey also found that kids and teens who discover digital harassment among their friends are now more likely to intervene if they see someone being mean online than they were in 2009.
Large public-awareness campaigns -- most notably MTV's A Thin Line and The Family Violence Prevention Fund's That's Not Cool -- are helping teens recognize when staying connected crosses the line into digital harassment. These campaigns use kids' idols -- like Justin Bieber -- and entertaining videos to give teens the language they need to identify and end digital harassment.
Parents can support their teens by understanding that relationships these days are often played out both online and in public -- and kids need their parents' guidance in establishing appropriate boundaries for healthy relationships. Young love is complicated enough without the added pressure of constant access and public scrutiny. The tips below can help you help your kids navigate these murky waters so they can avoid digital drama for themselves and their friends.
Advice for Parents
If you suspect your kid is being harassed:
- Start a discussion. Your teen may not tell you if harassment is happening directly to him or her. But you can bring it up when you talk about online safety and responsible behavior. Tell kids about resources like That's Not Cool and the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline.
- Let them know you're always there for them. Remind teens often that you're always available to talk to. While you're at it, put in a plug for the school counselor, a teacher, or even a friend's parent -- knowing that they have a trusted adult to talk to may encourage teens to open up.
- Help them set boundaries. Tell teens never to do anything that's outside their comfort zone -- like sharing passwords or sending sexual photos. (It never hurts to reiterate that anything you send can travel far and wide.)
If you suspect your kid may be harassing someone:
- Check up on them. Check your teen's Facebook page and cell phone to see what kind of messages she's sending -- and whether anyone is telling her to back off. Check in with other parents -- the parents of your kid's friends may know something you don't.
- Help your kid. Find a counselor or an organization that's equipped to help.
Tips for all parents:
- Check your teens' texts, IMs, and status updates. Be aware of who your kids are talking to, what they're saying, and how they're saying it. If your teens won't share their messages, look at your bill to see the quantity of texts.
- Have a zero-tolerance policy. No sexting, no hate speech, no stalkerish behavior. Make sure you explain the rules of responsible ownership of their devices.
- Teach kids to be upstanders, not bystanders. If teens see their friends getting harassed, they should report it to a teacher, a counselor, or another responsible, trustworthy adult.
- Talk about the pressure to broadcast. Kids in abusive relationships are often coerced into sending scantily clad or naked pictures of themselves to "prove" their love. If this happens to your kid, that's a big red flag.
- Talk about what's private. Kids differ from their parents in their take on what's "private" and what's OK to share. Explain to them the consequences of posting or sending intimate stuff. It can be copied, forwarded, and sent to thousands of kids in an instant.

While Delta Air Lines and United Airlines' parent played down the possibility of a merger, the hedge fund pushing the tie-up is ratcheting up the pressure. Gordon Bethune, the former Continental Airlines CEO who is advising Pardus Capital Management, spoke with a group of what he called major shareholders on Friday, the Associated Press reports.
The hour-and-a-half presentation, hosted by Merrill Lynch, also considered possible mergers between Delta and both Continental and Northwest Airlines. In a letter to Delta and United last week, Pardus said neither combination offers as many benefits as one between Delta and United.
"Quite frankly, there's no reasons not to do it now considering oil is $95, and we are headed for a downward cycle in the airline business," he told the AP. But he refused to say which investors attended the presentation.
Pardus owns about 2.5% of Delta and about 5% of UAL Corp., which owns United.

Regions in PRO12 action
Wales' four regions play their fifth games of the RaboDirect PRO12 season this weekend.
Wales' four regions play their fifth games of the RaboDirect PRO12 season this weekend.
The Ospreys will look to maintain their unbeaten PRO12 start when they host Ulster at the Liberty Stadium tonight.
The Irish side were beaten PRO12 finalists last season, but have had a mixed start to their campaign.
They are currently fourth in the table - with the Ospreys second.
The Welsh side have Lions stars Richard Hibbard, Adam Jones, Alun Wyn Jones, Ian Evans and Justin Tipuric in their XV.
Canadian flanker Tyler Ardron makes his first start for the Ospreys.
Ospreys Head Coach Steve Tandy said: "We are really pleased to be where we are in the table four weeks in and after three games on the road, but we aren't going to allow ourselves to get carried away. There's plenty of room for improvement."
"Ulster is as difficult as it gets. They've got a strong squad with world class players in there."
It will become drier in the early hours setting us up for a fine start to Wednesday
Showers in the north will spread southeastwards overnight. Temperatures will be higher so not as chilly as list night.
Chilly start to Tuesday, turning into a largely fine and dry day.

You have no idea, like IM SO ANNOYED ABOUT THIS WHOLE LEAKED JLAW NUDES THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Millions of girls who are just as innocent as Jennifer get their nudues leaked around their schools, etc, every single day and I HAVE NEVER EVER HEARD ANYBODY SAYING "RESPECT____ PRIVACY", instead people (especially females because we are really fucking cruel with each other) call the girl a "slut - whore - little shit with no self respect - attention seeker - etc". This annoys me so much because if a regular girl gets her nudes leaked shes a whore but if she is famous shes just a victim.
Now, please for the love of god dont get me wrong. I hate what happened to Jenn and I hate it when the same thing happens to regular girls every single day as well. This isnt me attacking Jennifer, this is me attacking this really fucking hypocrite society. This is me trying to say that yes, Jennifer is a victim, but the rest of the girls with leaked nudes are not whores or sluts, they are VICTIMS too.
no but seriously, FBI gets all hot and bothered when JLaw nudes are leaked, but when college students get raped not even the school authorities give them the time of the day.
why did this world survive december 21, 2012?????!!?!?!!!!!
spoopytavros asked: what does puta mean?

It means companion or best friend :)

Agency envisions a tiered approach—baseline regulations...
From our Sept. 15 issue: To...
Check out these websites from GEN's...
A new industry leader reigns supreme...
By Jeffrey Gibbs, J.D.
FDA regulation of in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) continues to present industry with major uncertainties. Some of the major issues include:
The agency also has not adhered to the "least burdensome" mandate established by Congress for devices. Without clear, predictable, reasonable regulatory requirements, innovative IVDs will have a difficult time entering the market, and investment in them will lag. It remains to be seen what steps the new FDA administration will take to address these issues.
With some device reviewers complaining about FDA/Center for Devices and Radiological Health management to Congress, even greater regulatory stringency seems more likely.
As a result of these ongoing developments, companies whose interests are affected by FDA regulation of diagnostics will need to monitor events carefully. Diagnostic firms that are seeking to market new IVD assays in the U.S. will want to take steps to maximize the likelihood of a successful outcome perhaps by understanding their regulatory options, (GEN, July 2008), carefully crafting the intended use statement (GEN, November 15, 2008), and properly using the pre-IDE process to better understand the regulation requirements (GEN, March 1, 2009).

Maddow at the 'Pinnacle:' 'I Quit. I'm Done.'
Fresh off her "Simpson's" cameo, Rachel Maddow told Jimmy Fallon her life mission is now complete.
"This is the pinnacle of my existence," Maddow said on "Late Night" Thursday. "I've had a great life, I have the best job in the world, but being drawn on 'The Simpsons'… I sort of feel like, 'I quit, I'm done, this is it!'"
Now that her cartoon mission is complete, Maddow looks to the remainder of things she wants in life —a flying jet pack and an easier time catching fish.

Terry Spinks: Boxer who won Olympic gold in Melbourne
After he retired from boxing, the Krays wanted the former apprentice jockey to ride their horses for them
Friday 27 April 2012
Terry Spinks was only 18 when he won Olympic gold in Melbourne. He turned professional at 19, won the British featherweight title at 22 and quit boxing when he was still only 24. In 1956 he was the last member of the British team to make the long journey by boat to the Olympics after a late, late selection process meant that he was working as a binman in Canning Town when the rest of the team left. It also meant that his Olympic blazer was several sizes too big: "It was like a bleeding overcoat on me."
The gold medal-winning victory was sensational and even more impressive considering that the West Ham boxer had lost three of his five previous international contests, including a couple of boxing lessons in Moscow. Spinks won five times in Melbourne and returned home to a street party; he turned professional a few months later, dubbed The Golden Boy and looking more like a 12-year-old child than a veteran of just over 200 amateur contests.
His profile soared as he fought his way to the British title and his first wedding, to the gorgeous Val at St James' Church in Piccadilly in 1961, was filmed by Pathé and shown in cinemas. However, Spinks fought at a time when fighters had less protection and by the time he forced Bobby Neil to quit in their first British title fight he had already lost four times. Neil, incidentally, underwent emergency surgery after the fight and narrowly survived to become a trainer of champions.
In 1961 Spinks was retired by his corner after 10 rounds against Howard Winstone, who would go on and win a world title, and lost his British belt. Spinks refused to make excuses for his performance and the celebrated scribe George Whiting wrote an early obituary line after leaving the beaten fighter's dressing room: "A fair enough salute by a beaten champion who never squawked in his lively life." Spinks was still only 23, and the pubs, betting shops, mini-cab firms – and his brush with terrorists at the Munich Olympics – had not yet shaped the extraordinary little man's grand life.
Spinks in retirement was still an attraction to what was left of "the fancy", an old-fashioned term that perfectly captures the company he moved in. He had briefly trained as a jockey and the Krays wanted him to ride their horses; the twins were part of his ringside faithful. In 2000 Spinks, who had still not received royal acknowledgement of his Olympic success, told me that the association with the notorious killers went against him. "A lot of people say the reason I've not got it is because I was photographed with the Krays – but everybody was photographed with them." One of the brothers was said to have a picture of little Terry in his wallet.
In 1972 Spinks had somehow managed to land the job as head coachof the South Korean boxing team at the Munich Olympics. He had been training fighters and would go on to work with Johnny Cheshire, Wally Anglis and others later in the 1970s. In Munich there seems to have been a cornerof the village devoted to waywardCockneys: Spinks joined the London amateur boxing legends Mick Carney from the Fitzroy Lodge and Repton's Tony Burns. The entertainer Kenny Lynch, who was rumoured to have had the ID card of a Russian gymnast, was also there. "Anybody could get in and out," said Carney, who was training the Canadian team.
The laughs died one morning and Spinks had a role to play in sport's darkest days. Out running, he noticed some people as he returned: "I saw this little mob with guns as I was coming back from a run and I ducked away and got on the phone to the security." It was not long after the brutality of the Munich massacre that I met him for the first time; he sold me a gumshield at the Lonsdale shop in Brixton. A year later I met him again after an amateur fight and held his gold medal.
Spinks ran a pub and briefly followed his beloved father, Titch, into the gambling business as a bookmaker. Both adventures were a disaster and by the middle of the 1980s, after another failed marriage; Spinks was given a week to live after a drinking session ended again in a hospital bed. The fallen Golden Boy weighed less than his fighting weight from 30 years earlier.
It was at this point that his cousin, Rosemary Ellmore, entered his life again after an absence of about 20 years to save him from destruction. Spinks spent some time in a hospital for people with brain injuries before moving in with Rosemary and her family. He wasteetotal from that day, gained weight, and in 2002 he finally had an appointment with the Queen to collect his long-overdue MBE.
During the last decade Spinks had been a regular at meetings of the London Ex-Boxers Association, a vital lifeline for ancient and lonely fighters, and as his health failed he still appeared at ringside. His old West Ham gym is minutes from the site of the 2012 Olympic boxing and there were plans to make him part of the spectacle this summer.
Terence Spinks, boxer: born London 28 February 1938; MBE 2002; married; died 26 April 2012.

Beth Keylon-Randolph's Chattanooga State softball team returned home on Sunday from the Gulf Coast Beach Classic games with a 7-1 won loss mark, moving their overall season record to 22-2. With eight games in three days, the Chattanooga State pitching duo of Ashley Czechner and Janna Scheff gave up 5 runs combined as Tiger softball bested the top 20 nationally ranked teams of Chipola, Wallace-Hanceville and Lake Land College.
Also falling at the hands of the Tigers were Georgia Perimeter and Gulf Coast, perennial national tournament participants and Northwest Florida State.
On day one of the games, Chattanooga State managed only 3 runs but came away with two wins while losing once, 1-0 to host college Gulf Coast. Lakeland College saw a 1-0 lead slip away in the 7th inning when Kortney Koroll singled home two runs to give the Tigers their first win of the day, 2-1. In the final game of the day, Czechner tossed a one hitter, beating Wallace 1-0, as Chattanooga State pushed across a run in the top of the 7th on an Andie Johnson single to right, driving home Shelby Johnson who had doubled to start the inning.
Day two featured Tiger hitting along with the Czechner and Scheff pitching tandem. First, Scheff, beating Northwest Florida 7-1, followed by Scheff again with a 4-0 shutout over Georgia Perimeter. The evening game saw the Tigers explode for nine runs vs. #7 nationally ranked Chipola State College in a 6-inning game that featured a game ending homerun by Chelsea Burgess in the Czechner pitched win.
On the final day of the games Chattanooga State came back with another win vs. Chipola when Burgess started the scoring in the 3rd with a homerun to left field followed by a 5th inning, 2-run homer by Andrea Dalton for the final margin of victory in the 3-1 win. The day ended when Chattanooga State used a nine hit attack to beat Gulf Coast 6-0, scoring one run in the 1st followed by three runs in the 5th and two in the 7th. Czechner won her 5th game of the weekend by allowing only one hit.
"Every coach dreams about putting together a team like this," said Keylon-Randolph. "Czechner and Scheff gives us a one/two punch from the pitching mound while the special combination of power and speed in the line-up is a confidence builder for the entire team. Intense practice and tough competition can only help us as we get ready for conference play."
Chattanooga State's home opener is this Sunday with a doubleheader vs. Sauk Community College starting at 10 a.m. Home games are played on the campus of Chattanooga State at Tiger Softball Field. Admission is free.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Kike Hernandez
Tue Sep 2, 2014 12:44 pm Marlins recalled INF/OF Enrique Hernandez from Triple-A New Orleans.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hernandez was acquired from the Astros last month in the Jarred Cosart deal. The Marlins figure to use him in a utility role.
Fri Aug 8, 2014 4:04 pm Marlins optioned INF/OF Enrique Hernandez to Triple-A New Orleans.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hernandez was just acquired at the trade deadline and receives the boot after going hitless in his first seven at-bats for the Marlins. He'll be back in September, if not before.
Thu Jul 31, 2014 4:50 pm Marlins acquired INF/OF Enrique Hernandez from the Astros in the Jarred Cosart deal.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hernandez, 22, sported a nice .284/.348/.420 batting line over 24 games for the Astros and will give the Marlins another option at second base and in the outfield. He profiles as a super utility player.
Wed Jul 30, 2014 12:08 am Enrique Hernandez went 2-for-3 with a double, triple and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hernandez also scored a run in the loss. The triple, which plated a run in the fifth inning, was his second in 23 games this season. Hernandez has held his own in his first go-round in the majors, batting .289/.357/.434 thus far. The spark plug doesn't hold much mixed league value, but he's certainly an AL-only commodity with his performance to date.
Wed Jul 2, 2014 5:56 pm Kike Hernandez hit his first major league home run in the Astros' loss to the Mariners on Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: It was a fifth-inning solo shot off Mariners starter Chris Young. Hernandez was raking this season in the Astros' minor league system and may be worth picking up in AL-only fantasy leagues. He can play multiple positions, so Houston should be able to find him playing time.
Tue Jul 1, 2014 12:37 pm Astros purchased the contract of INF Kike Hernandez from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hernandez earned the call-up by batting .336/.379/.503 with nine home runs, 36 RBI, and six stolen bases over 77 games this season between Double- and Triple-A. We're taking the PCL numbers with a grain of salt, though, as he has never put up numbers like that before at any other level. He'll function as a utility player in his first taste of the big leagues.

Thursday March 6, 2014 MYT 5:33:44 PM

MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's motor sports federation is optimistic the tax problems that have jeopardised the country's Formula One race will be resolved and the home Grand Prix will be back in 2016.
Formula One commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone told Reuters on Wednesday that the Buddh International Circuit near New Delhi will not be hosting a race next year after being dropped from the 2014 championship.
Problems over taxation, with Formula One classified as entertainment rather than a sport in India, as well as the considerable bureaucracy governing the import of equipment have been seen as obstacles.
The Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) is waiting for a final clearance from the sports ministry for recognition as a national sports federation and hopes that will pave the way for the race's return.
"It's unfortunate but once the government gives the recognition I am very hopeful that Mr Ecclestone's concerns will be satisfied," Akbar Ebrahim, the chairman of racing at FMSCI, told Reuters on Thursday.
"The good thing is that the International Olympic Committee has recognised the International Automobile Federation (FIA) and made it a full member.
"So once we have the recognition the drivers are no longer going to be considered as entertainers but as athletes."
Crediting race promoters Jaypee Sports International for building a stellar circuit in India, Ebrahim was hopeful that the FMSCI would be recognised after the country's general elections are over in May.
"The required paperwork that was asked for by the government of India has been already submitted a month back," Ebrahim added. "It's a priority.
"This recognition is not just for F1 but it is beneficial for the grass root level of Indian motorsports, too."
Ecclestone said in November that a deal had been done for the Indian Grand Prix to return in 2015 and for six years beyond that if tax problems could be overcome.
A Jaypee spokesman declined to comment when contacted by Reuters, but a source at the promoter said the problems should be resolved and Formula One would return to India.
India first hosted a Grand Prix in 2011 to positive reviews and have staged three races to date.
Former Formula One driver Karun Chandhok rued India's loss of a glamorous sporting event.
"I'm not surprised, unfortunately. The situation hasn't changed from the government's viewpoint despite the Jaypee group's best efforts," Chandhok told Reuters from London. "It's a sad but predictable outcome.
"With the IOC recognising FIA, the recognition for the sport body in India should be pretty automatic.
"The teams and the drivers really enjoyed coming to India. But unfortunately the Indian government did not embrace Formula One or really understand its penetration and reach worldwide.
"It's an opportunity lost."

Youkali Hotel is an hour-long performing arts special starring renowned cabaret singer Patricia O'Callaghan, and featuring performances by Mary Margaret O'Hara, Hawksley Workman, Kurt Swinghammer and Albert Schultz.
The show weaves musical performances through a fictional story set in small town Canada, where a singer works her usual Saturday night shift in the lounge of the local hotel. She's a dreamer and feels a calling toward a bigger life than this town could possibly offer. Through the course of an evening, the singer becomes obsessed with a tragic murder that occurred at the hotel a half-century before, culminating in a dramatic catharsis that allows her to finally leave her old life behind.
Youkali Hotel is a co-production of Enigmatico Films and WestWind Pictures, distributed by Rhombus International.

Mad Men Mondays: Episode 6, "The Strategy"
After weeks of angst and anxiety, Mad Men showed viewers a happier Don Draper and Peggy Olsen last night. They are finally back in sync and working well together. Peggy and Mathis survey mothers at a Burger Chef restaurant about their reasons for buying family dinners there. Pete and Bonnie fly to New York together. Peggy presents a seemingly successful Burger Chef pitch to Lou and others, but is told that Don should be the one to present it to the client, which angers her.
Megan comes to New York for the weekend and spends time looking for her fondue pot and other items she wants to bring back to Los Angeles, while Don tries to make her nostalgic for her New York home. Bob Benson comes to New York with representatives from Chevy. He has to bail one of them out of jail and is told that GM will be pulling the Chevy account and giving it to Campbell-Ewald, but that Bob will be offered a job at Buick. Peggy second guesses the Burger Chef pitch and works on it all weekend.
Pete visits his daughter Tammy, who barely recognizes him, and he is angry that Trudy is not around. He gets drunk and waits for her return, only to be told that he is no longer part of that family and doesn't get to complain. Bonnie is angry that Pete doesn't spend time with her in New York and leaves to go back to Los Angeles.
Don comes in to help Peggy rework the Burger Chef campaign and they manage to have productive and candid conversations. Their creative compatibility shows through and their conversations inspire a better pitch for Burger Chef. Bob visits with Joan and her family, bearing gifts for everyone. He proposes to Joan, and tells her that a marriage would be good for both of them. She says no, stating that she will hold out for love. The SC&P partners meet to discuss losing Chevy. They decide to make Harry Crane a partner, with some dissention from Joan and Roger. Don and Peggy meet Pete at a Burger Chef to sell him on the new pitch.
Last night's episode featured references to loafers, Buick, Barbie, Fondue pots, among other things. Enjoy our selection of highlighted ads that reflect the brands and themes that Mad Men characters interacted with last night.

WI hospital rates rose more slowly than national average
The Journal-Sentinel, December 15, 2011
Hospitals in southeastern Wisconsin, which once ranked among the most costly in the country, raised rates for commercial health plans at a much slower rate than the national average from 2003 through 2010, according to a study released Wednesday by the Greater Milwaukee Business Foundation on Health. The study also showed that hospital operating costs—their day-to-day expenses—increased less on average than national benchmarks over the same period.
