If Adam leaves what about this kicker. He is 27 years old and a scout report I read on this guy said that his best years are ahead. ----------------------------------- Seahawks | Team tenders J. Brown Mon, 6 Mar 2006 06:01:34 -0800 Mike Sando, of the Tacoma News Tribune, reports the Seattle Seahawks have tendered a one-year, $712,000 offer to restricted free agent PK Josh Brown. The team would receive a seventh-round draft pick as compensation if he signs elsewhere. -------------------------------------- Look at Josh's stats http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/395934 and then Adam's stats in his first 3 years http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1392 Very similar.
Reminds me of something my boss tells me about "Potential"-- all it means is that you ain't done sh!t. I dont know this kid at all-- interesting idea-- but I fully hope and expect that BB/SP have a succession plan in place. Clearly letting AV leave is not something they just decided to do overnight. In retrospect, you can see the footsteps of this decision in the results of their negotiations with AV over the past few years-- diminishing duration contracts and franchise tagging-- signs of escalating distance between the parties. Same with Givens. When he got a 1 year tender last year, we should have all seen the writing on the wall... they were opening the door to allow him to leave for bigger money, and if he comes back (a la Troy Brown), then it's on their terms. BB/SP dont do anything accedentally.
very true ..... good to get reminded of that. BB/SP are thinking years ahead where most of us are not really thinking that far ahead.
I hate to be a jerk but that's clear. Josh Brown is as good as Adam, just different. He slipped a little to 72% this year but was 5/8 from 50+. Although he hit 92% in 2004, he's not generally as accurate as Adam but he has a much more live leg.
He's got a great leg and has been very accurate. He's also better at kicking off. I wouldn't mind tendering him an offer.
I need to get this off my chest. i am REALLY disapointed that Adam is even considering leaving. The best endorsement deals he can get are in NE. So whatever $$ he leaves on the table in free agency, he can make up by taking a little less $$ (but still be the highest paid kicker in the league) by staying here and doing commercials/apperances. I wish that Brady would talk to him. I can understand Givens, and to an extent Willie, but not Adam. What the F is the difference between $2.7mm and winning another (or more) Super Bowls and $3.1mm and going to an 8-8 team for the next 3 years? The endorsements would make up some of the $4mm and he would retire a legend in New England instead of tainting it a little. We're not taking about a HUGE difference in $$.
His leg wasn't too live in the Superbowl. He is just as good as Adam, just different? :rofl: Outdoors 68% vs. 79%, on the road 64% vs. 86%, outside the division 50% vs. 77%. That's different. I know I'm cherrypicking, but his kid has has 2 70% FG seasons sandwiched around 1 90% season which indicates last year may have been the exception rather than this year a slip (Adam was far more consistent sandwiching a 77 and 79 around an 86 for an 81.5% average which is just about his 10 year career norm), he's not a cold weather kicker, and he missed 2 out of 3 indoors in his first Superbowl. If he were just as good as Adam Vinatieri or showed the potential to be the next Adam Vinatieri, I think the Seahawks probably would have considered something beyond a low tender for a 7th rounder. BB mid tendered his diamonds in the rough last year rather than risk losing them prematurely in a bidding war or overpaying to retain them long term. Considering what is out there Brown will likely have a number of suitors the Seahawks will determine whether or not to match. The losers in the Vinatieri overpayment sweepstakes will all be competing to overpay him or Longwell or even old Vanderjerk. I'd have preferred to overpay the guy I know I can trust when it counts.
He's got Lawyer Milloy syndrome - blow off Championship Town to go anywhere else for money that will not substantially change his future.
I am sure they will take the endorsement differential intro consideration - indeed, if the difference nets out to say 1/2MM per year, he stays right here. I am afraid he may see over 3MM per year with some of it guaranteed and signing bonus money as well. If that is true, do you all still want AV?

Capdevila ready for call-up
26 May 2006 - 11:20:10
Deportivo La Coruna defender Joan Capdevila is on standby to replace ankle-injury victim Asier del Horno in Spain's World Cup squad.
The Chelsea left-back picked up the injury during a training game on Wednesday and will learn next week whether he will recover in time to feature at Germany 2006.
However, initial medical reports were not optimistic and Capdevila is ready to step in.
"If the national coach Luis Aragones calls me up on Monday, I will go," said Capdevila.
"However, my wish is that Asier recovers and goes to Germany.
"I would be a bad team-mate if I was happy. I wouldn't want to go to a World Cup because a colleague of mine is injured."
The situation is a familiar one for Capdevila who replaced the injured Michel Salgado in Spain's Euro 2004 squad.

Results tagged "planning application"
Campaigners on both sides of the Thames Tideway Tunnel debate have vowed to stand their ground as the plans are put under the spotlight.
Last week saw the start of an examination of a planning application, submitted by Thames Water, to create a super sewer to tackle the millions of tonnes of untreated sewage that seeps into the river each year.
An application to build a 305-room boutique hotel in Marsh Wall has been resubmitted just months after it was refused by Tower Hamlets Council.
The application, by Marsh Wall Chelsea LLP, originally went before the council's strategic development committee last year, but was rejected over concerns about its size.

And people ask why I left home and enjoy living in the middle of nowhere.Justifiable homicide in the city shot up 79 percent in 2011 from the previous year, as citizens in the long-suffering city armed themselves and took matters into their own hands. The local rate of self-defense killings now stands 2,200 percent above the national average. Residents, unable to rely on a dwindling police force to keep them safe, are fighting back against the criminal scourge on their own. And they're offering no apologies.
Detroiters are arming themselves with shotguns and handguns and buying guard dogs. Anything to take care of their own. And privately, residents say neighborhood watch groups in Detroit are widely armed.
"It's like the militiamen who stepped up way back when. That's where the neighborhood folks are," said James "Jackrabbit" Jackson, a 63-year-old retired Detroit cop who has patrolled the Jefferson-Chalmers neighborhood for years.
"They're ready to fight," Jackson said. "We don't hardly see police anymore."
The city's wealthier enclaves have hired private security firms. Intimidating men in armored trucks patrol streets lined with gracious old homes in a scene more likely seen in Mexico City than the United States.

Here's a surprise: Life would be a lot easier for EA if they didn't have to port all of their games to so many different platforms. In fact, they'd be happier with just one. Gerhard Florin, EA's head of international publishing, told the BBC, "We want an open, standard platform which is much easier than having five which are not compatible." Well, count this as one of the many times when we're happy we're living in reality, rather than an alternate, EA-crafted dimension. We probably don't have anything to worry about though, Florin says he thinks dedicated consoles could be around for "up to 15 years."
The way we see it, everyone is better off having consoles competing, pushing each other to do better. But out of curiosity, do any of you feel differently? Would you rather have just one box that handled all of your gaming needs?

It's nice to see you update your guide with the recent Doran's nerf. Wasn't sure if I should still get a ring Thanks!

Just wanted to post my starting build with annie because I haven't seen it too often. I start with boots and 3 health pots while running with clarity/ghost. Yes, you will be squishy early, but the boots make u faster than EVERYONE. You also Level up Q first for the last hit ability. Rush boots of lucidity because a nuke that can get her abilities back faster beats everyone. After that, I get ROA and archangels, followed by deathcap. I have no trouble beating any champ mid except for leblanc and kassadin because of their silences and flashes/teleports. Some people may disagree with this build but getting boots first keeps you faster than your opponent until at least level 6 because by the time they get boots of speed, you have level 2 boots.
Only thing I didn't like was the spell cycle. You say Rstun -> W -> Q. I say Rstun -> Q -> W. If the cool down on Q is shorter start with it so after you use W, Q will be up again. Less time stading, more time PEWPEW!

As an Annie player, this guide has helped me a lot. However, I het lots of kills and keep on losing games because of my teammates. What necessay advice do you have for this situation? And by the way, when the team starts to lose, that's when my scores becomes bad and I get more deaths. -.-"
Any updates on the masteries, especially that the 40 bonus starting gold?

Update on Fleet Marks and Dilithium

You guys are wasting your breath, so to speak.
They won't do what you ask, they will only do what they believe will keep players in STO long enough for the next ship, for the next "Season" for the next big money maker. That's what they're about now.
You guys keep screaming for more ways to make fleet marks. Sure, they may do it. But it'll come at a price. Most likely, upping the amount of marks required for the projects so that the percentage of marks gained still balances out their long term projections of how long it takes to get to Tier 5.
So getting 15 marks in Fleet Alerts now, and increasing them to 30 (Just estimating, using a 2x modifier here), and suddenly the projects cost twice as much in fleet marks because "After reviewing the amount of fleet marks that are potentially available to the player base, we feel that the projects require an increase in the amount of marks that are needed to complete" or some other corporate blindsiding speak. Allows them to appease the player base, shut them up, while at the same time, not jeopardizing their projections and spreadsheets.
If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. But I'm almost certainly right on this one.

Going Big: Copyright Office Chief Promises to Have Orphan, Library Proposals Ready for New Congress
By Louis Trager, Washington Internet Daily
BERKELEY, Calif. -- Coming U.S. Copyright Office recommendations to enact a law about the use of works whose rights holders haven't been found, and to reframe copyright exceptions for libraries, will greet the next Congress when it starts, the head of the agency said. "We have already begun to convene meetings on these topics and will have specific recommendations to revise" Copyright Act Section 108 about libraries "and enact orphans legislation for the new Congress in January," said Maria Pallante, the register of copyrights. "We are discussing and will continue to advise them on collective licensing and the relative merits of both opt-in and opt-out solutions" for rights holders. She signaled that her office will go big in its suggestions.
"Resetting the relationship between copyright owners and libraries requires both oversight and legislation from Congress" about orphan works and libraries, "and to explore new forms of licensing," Pallante said late Thursday at a symposium of the University of California-Berkeley's law school. "Why? Because it's in the public interest to both protect owners and ensure the future of libraries. It may well be that an opt-out system is the most sensible solution in some cases, but those cases require scrutiny and compromise to ensure that authors are not undercut and that library projects are responsible." Earlier speakers at the event from Warner Bros. and the book-publishing industry had endorsed the passage of orphan-works legislation, but representatives of the Internet Archive and other collections resisted the idea (WID April 13 p3).
Pallante rejected the idea that "we should start small" regarding orphans, by limiting "the types of works -- exclude photographs, for example -- ... the types of users -- museums, libraries and archives -- and the type of use -- noncommercial only." She called these "worthy suggestions" but added, "I don't love them because they don't reflect the practice of copyright."
There's a question about how much copyright owners should be required to "assert their whereabouts" to establish their rights or at least to affect the extent of "remedies they receive," Pallante said. Historically some right holders contended, "either on principle or out of sheer frustration, that they were entitled to full remedies under the law ... and had no duty to would-be users, even as a practical matter," she said. "I believe over time this premise has shifted greatly. Big ideas have a way of bringing people along."
Pallante said she has set as one of her "key priorities" making the Copyright Office database searchable by automated means as well as by Web browser or otherwise. She said she agrees entirely with a 2005 comment by Google that, in the company's words, this resource "would serve as a platform upon which to rest any number of legislative or regulatory improvements to the copyright system." But "it will take funding and a multiyear strategy, as well as a commitment from Congress," Pallante said. An office project to this end "is co-chaired by leaders from our information-technology department, general counsel's office and registration program," she said. "And we will engage technical and legal experts in a number of ways before releasing our vision to Congress and the public in the next 18 months."
Orphan-works efforts in the coming 113th Congress would pick up where legislative pushes in the 109th and 110th fizzled. "In 2006, the Copyright Office delivered a major study to Congress" about orphan works that "proposed limiting the remedies a copyright owner might obtain against one who has failed to identify or locate the copyright owner after conducting a reasonable, diligent search," said an October paper from the agency setting out its priorities and projects for the following two years. The work "stalled after the parties to litigation involving the Google Book Search program announced a proposed settlement agreement in part because it had implications for orphan books," the paper said. "However, in 2011 the court rejected an amended version of the settlement, expressly ruling that the disposition of orphan works belongs with Congress, not the courts."

Baystate Franklin Medical Center, a 93-bed community hospital with a medical staff of approximately 150 physicians, is located five miles away in the town of Greenfield. Our tertiary care center and nearest Level 1 trauma center is the 650-bed Baystate Medical Center, located in Springfield, MA, 30 miles away.
In general, we consider it the responsibility of the student to inform parents concerning illness and injury. Parents are not called for routine use of Health Center services, including care of minor injuries and illnesses. Sometimes routine referrals may be made to local specialists for routine uncomplicated injuries without notifying parents. However, parents are always notified by the school doctor of significant illnesses and injuries, especially when anticipated treatment is prolonged or complex. In the case of emergencies, parents are contacted as soon as it is practical after emergency medical care is begun and/or transport to the emergency room is initiated.
It is the responsibility of the student to inform teachers when he or she misses a class for medical reasons. This can be easily done by phone, voicemail, email, or in person. It is particularly important for students to talk to their teachers if they are unable to complete a graded assignment because of illness or injury, whether it is an in-class assignment such as a test or quiz or an out-of-class assignment such as a paper or project. It is the student's responsibility to clarify with teachers as soon as possible when the assignment will be made up. A student's advisor and the Dean of Student's Office are notified of Health Center visits that occur during class-time as well as overnight stays in the Health Center. When a student misses a class because of being in the Health Center, the Dean of Student's Office will excuse the absence and Accountability Points (AP's) will not be given. Although teachers are not automatically notified when students miss their class for medical reasons, teachers can and often do check with the Dean or the Health Center to verify whether a student has been in the Health Center during their class.
We do strep tests and urinalyses at the Health Center at no charge. Blood tests are drawn at the Health Center and sent to the local hospital, the Baystate Franklin Medical Center, in Greenfield. We do not have X-ray facilities at the Health Center. Students are transported to the Baystate Franklin Medical Center for X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, etc. The Baystate Franklin Medical Center will bill your insurance company directly for lab tests and X-rays done at their facility.
Routine outpatient services provided by the nursing staff and by the school doctor are free. There is a charge for laceration repair, however, which will be billed to your health insurance. When students stay at the Health Center for more than three nights, they are charged a daily fee starting on the fourth night. They are also charged a one-time fee for inpatient physician services for each Health Center stay longer than three nights. Some health insurance companies will cover the overnight charges, as the Health Center is a licensed medical facility. However, HMOs and managed care plans frequently will not cover these charges, as they have strict criteria for hospital admission. Even though a student may need to stay in the Health Center for a few days with prolonged fever or the flu or mononucleosis, an HMO may not pay the bill because these diagnoses do not meet their criteria for acute care hospitalization. For this reason, we strongly encourage purchasing the supplemental health insurance offered by the school, which will cover these expenses up to the limit of the coverage provided.
The school physician frequently refers students to specialists in the local area, usually in Greenfield. Most commonly these referrals are for specialists in orthopedic surgery, general surgery, and oral surgery. However, a wide variety of medical and surgical specialists are available in the local area and those referrals are made as the need arises. Transportation is provided to and from doctor's offices in Greenfield by the school for a small fee. The local hospital is the Baystate Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield. The closest tertiary care center is the Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA, a major teaching hospital associated with Tufts University Medical School.
The school psychiatrist comes to campus once or twice per month to see students in psychiatric consultation. Common reasons for students to see the psychiatrist include depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and ADD/ADHD. Appointments with the psychiatrist are typically scheduled by a member of the counseling staff or by the school doctor. Follow-up appointments are scheduled directly with the psychiatrist. Permission must be obtained from parents before seeing the psychiatrist. Parents will be billed by the psychiatrist. That portion of the fee covered by health insurance should be reimbursed to the parents by their health insurance company. If you have additional questions, call the Health Center at 413-774-1600
A full-time physician, nurse practitioner, and registered nurses provide 24/7 medical care to the campus community at the Health Center. Nursing staff are available 24 hours per day, and doctor's appointments can be scheduled Monday through Friday, 8:00 am-5:30 pm. Counselors and a psychiatrist provide individual counseling on issues relating to social adjustment, emotional growth, and boarding school life.
Deerfield employs two full-time athletic trainers, who work in the Athletic Training Office, located in the Athletic Center. Trainers work with injured athletics and coordinate a weekly Orthopedic/Sports Medicine Clinic staffed by an orthopedic surgeon.
Medications used to treat ADD and depression fall into the category of psychotropic medications. Their use in schools such as DA is regulated by the state and must be handled according to the Psychotropic Medication Policy to be in compliance with state regulations. Psychotropic medications must be kept in the Health Center and dispensed to the student by the nursing staff. Although this may sound cumbersome, students quickly find this easy to accomplish. You may ask the Health Center staff for a copy of the Psychotropic Medication Policy or you can find it online here.

Casting Enum Type arrays to object type arrays
I have this scenario:
Java Code:// File: Fruits.java package fruits; public enum Fruits { APPLE('A'), MANGO('M'), ORANGE('O'); public Fruits(char value) { this.value = value; } private final value; public char getValue() { return value;} } // File: ArrayUtils.java package utils; public Class ArrayUtils { public static <T> T [] trimArray(T [] array) { ArrayList<T> trimmed = new ArrayList<>(); for (T object: array) if (object != null) trimmed.add(object); return (T[])trimmed.toArray(); } public static <E extends Enum> E [] trimEnumArray(E [] array) { ArrayList<Enum> trimmed = new ArrayList<>(); for (Enum object: array) if (object != null) trimmed.add(object); return (E[]) trimmed.toArray(new Enum [] {null}); // I hope its safe to do this ^^^ , refer to javadoc } } // File: EnumUtils.java package utils; public class EnumUtils { public static Fruit fruitOfValue(char value) { for(Fruit fruit: Fruit.values()) if (fruit.getValue() == value) return fruit; return null; } } public class TestEverything { private Fruit [] availableFruits; private char fruitValues [] = {'A','O','N','V'); public void setAvailbleFruits() availableFruits = new Fruit[fruitValues.length]; for(int i = 0; i < fruitValues.length; i++) availableFruits[i] = EnumUtils.getFruitOfValue(fruitValues[i]); availableFruits = ArrayUtils.trimEnumArray(availableFruits); // FIXME: HERE } public Fruit [] getAvailableFruits() { return availableFruits; } }

What is it you are trying to do?
The posted code is FULL of compiler errors. You needed to fix them before you post this.Last edited by Norm; 02-16-2012 at 03:04 PM.

Re: Casting Enum Type arrays to object type arrays
You are not helping with you're reply. I know the compiler error makes sense, I have met many before and dealt with them, what I dont know is how to deal with this one, which is why I posted. Sometimes if you are not going ton help, then not replying to someones post is the mature thing to do.
Why do you think you can cast it?

10 Albums You Can Hear Now: The-Dream, Laura Marling, Tricky, TEEN, and Mykki Blanco
PLus, Mount Kimbie, Sean Nelson, Roomrunner, Brazos, and When Saints Go Machine
This week's round-up of streamable albums includes new releases from The-Dream, Mykki Blanco, Roomrunner, and more. Grab a set of headphones and enjoy:
1) The-Dream, IV Play. "Though his fourth solo effort may be a bit of a dip from his classic first three albums, IV Play has a number of killer tracks ('Too Early,' 'Michael,' 'IV Play') and will likely be one of the best R&B records of 2013." — SPIN (via Vevo)
2) Mount Kimbie, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth. "The first thing that stands out about Cold Spring Fault Less Youth is the traditional drum kit. Sticks, snares and cymbals pop up in several of these tracks, usually in a low-key fashion that recalls Four Tet's early post-rock act Fridge. The addition of languid vocals, including two appearances by young British crooner King Krule, is even more jarring yet works nicely, particularly in the album's first single, 'Made to Stray.'" (via NPR)
3) Laura Marling, Once I Was An Eagle. "[The devil] represents only one of the recurring threads woven into the fabric of a hypnotically pretty record that's not easily unpacked: Its first four songs flow together so seamlessly, in word and sound, that they appear at first to belong to a single shimmering 16-minute relationship postmortem." (via NPR)
4) Tricky, False Idols. "With help from young British vocalists Francesca Belmonte and Fifi Rong, Tricky deftly balances sexy sighs and dub-influenced basslines... [His] best album since the halcyon days of the mid-'90s, when he could do no wrong, False Idols is one of 2013's most pleasant musical surprises so far." (via NPR)
5) Sean Nelson, Make Good Choices. "Now, eight years after [Harvey Danger's last album], [frontman Sean] Nelson returns with Make Good Choices, a wonderfully catchy and quotable solo album to which he'd devoted years of intermittent tinkering. Recorded with an assortment of sure-handed all-stars, including R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla, Make Good Choices fits perfectly on the irregular-but-unimpeachable Harvey Danger continuum." (via NPR)
6) Roomrunner, Ideal Cities. "On May 28, the Baltimore wrecking crew — [led by Denny Bowen and] rounded out by bassist Dan Frome, drummer Bret Lanahan, and guitarist Jeff Byers — will follow up their two EPs (2011's self-titled effort and last year's Super Vague collection) with nine tracks of meaty, feedback-gnarled noise rock. [Influences include:] Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu, Sebadoh, [and] the Foo Fighters' The Colour and the Shape." (via SPIN)
7) Brazos, Saltwater. "...A collection of nine deceptively complex pop tunes that recall the Shins at their most adventurous. Luckily, these chutes aren't too narrow for [Martin] Crane's engrossing wordplay (following his lyrics is like playing a high-stakes game of cat's cradle) and robust, soft-edged melodies." (via SPIN)
8) TEEN, Carolina EP. "[TEEN] have crafted five tracks of complex psych-influenced but wholly unique indie pop that was produced by Daniel Schlett, who was also responsible for DIIV's Oshin. I would tell you 'Circus' is a stand-out, but I'd also tell you 'Cannibal' is a stand-out and so on. Each track exists in its own hyper-detailed, hypnotic space." (via Stereogum)
9) When Saints Go Machine, Infinity Pool. "Like [lead single] 'Love and Respect,' [second single] 'Iodine' blends soulful, warped vocals with an off-kilter, cinematic groove, but unlike its predecessor, 'Iodine' sounds like a wounded plea, not a knuckle-cracking threat. On this one, When Saints Go Machine aren't doling out the bruises; they're recovering from them." — SPIN (via Pitchfork)
10) Mykki Blanco, Betty Rubble: The Initiation. "Mykki Blanco's Betty Rubble: The Initiation — the follow-up EP to last fall's excellent, mixtape-era Weezy-like Cosmic Angel: The Illuminati Prince/ss, is an excellent example of testing boundaries. Here, Mykki stretches his already elastic personality even further, in just half the time. Don't fret, Hot 97-freestyle-gone-totally-askew mania can still be found on 'Angggry Byrdz' and 'David Blaine Bitches.' While the darkwave-tinged hip-hop of 'Crisp Clean,' 'Feeling Special,' and 'Bugged Out' take on a vengeful, evil tone only teased on Cosmic Angel. It's nothing you've not heard before from Mykki, but they're all fascinating additions to the discography of one of rap's most exciting personalities." — SPIN (via Pitchfork)

Match Preview
Mancini wary of Swans threat Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is anticipating a tough evening when his side host newly-promoted Swansea. On paper, a home fixture against a team that has come up from the npower Championship would appear to many to be an ideal assignment for the Blues in their opening Barclays Premier League game. But last season's promoted trio Newcastle, West Brom and Blackpool - who memorably got their campaign started with a 4-0 thumping of Wigan at the DW Stadium - all fared well in their initial round of league matches and were each positioned in the top half after 10 games. With that in mind, there is no danger of Mancini underestimating the task that awaits his players in two days' time. "When you start the season and you play against a team that comes from the Championship, it is really difficult," Mancini said. "Last year, with all the teams that came from the Championship, it was very hard to play against them in the first 10 games and it will be the same this year. "But this is why the Premier League is difficult. Every game is hard." Swansea secured their place in the top flight via a 4-2 victory over Reading in the play-off final at Wembley in May and will be the first Welsh team to compete in the Premier League. They have become renowned for their dynamic brand of football over the last few years and Mancini is well aware of the kind of challenge Brendan Rodgers' side are likely to pose. "I have watched many of their games," Mancini said. "Swansea play good football. They don't play long ball and they have good players. The manager is good - last year, he played really good football and got promoted." Record signing Sergio Aguero is still some way short of full fitness, while controversial skipper Carlos Tevez only came back to training on Monday. Meanwhile, Scott Sinclair is out to prove that he has what it takes at Premier League level following his stunning performances in Swansea's promotion campaign. The 22-year-old moved to the Liberty Stadium last summer after a five-year spell with Chelsea that yielded just 14 first-team appearances and countless loan spells. Sinclair, who gained further Premier League experience when on loan at Wigan two seasons ago, decided to drop down a division in order to ensure first-team football and he scored 27 goals last term, including a memorable hat-trick in the play-off final win. The England Under-21 forward is now keen to show that he has what it takes to perform week in week out in the top flight, starting at City. He told Press Association Sport: "It's nice to be back in the Premier League and from a personal point of view to be playing against these players. "If you score goals at this level then it means more than scoring in the Championship because of the different qualities of the teams you play against. "When I left Chelsea I felt that I was a Premier League player. With dropping down a division, the main thing last year was to get as many games as I could. "But this year I need to do as well as I can in the Premier League and show some people I can do it in the Premier League." Captain Garry Monk is a major doubt for the Swans. The defender, who signed a new three-year contract earlier this week, is struggling with a foot injury and may have to wait for the home clash with Wigan to make his first appearance of the campaign. Goalkeeper Michel Vorm comes straight into the squad after completing his move from FC Utrecht and will battle fellow new signing Jose Moreira for the starting berth. Danny Graham, Leroy Lita, Wayne Routledge and Steven Caulker are also in line to make their debuts.

Match Report
Debut delight for Aguero Two-goal Sergio Aguero made a dramatic debut as Manchester City crushed promoted Swansea 4-0 to make a winning start to their Barclays Premier League campaign. The #38million club record signing came off the bench moments after Edin Dzeko had broken the deadlock at the Etihad Stadium to score twice and set up another for David Silva. Dzeko's goal had not arrived until the 57th minute but Roberto Mancini's men thoroughly deserved their victory with Silva and Gareth Barry hitting the bar among a host of other chances. Aguero - signed as a likely replacement for last season's wantaway talisman Carlos Tevez, who was not in the squad - had been kept in reserve by manager Roberto Mancini due to a lack of match fitness. Yet there seemed no lack of sharpness when he finally entered the fray after being left on the bench throughout last week's Community Shield defeat. And with the tantalising prospect he could yet link up with compatriot Tevez, not to mention the outstanding Silva and Yaya Toure, City can expect to challenge for the title. The hosts, having named controversial striker Mario Balotelli among the substitutes, went straight on to the attack with Silva creating an early chance for Toure. The Ivorian struck a ferocious shot but Swans stand-in skipper Alan Tate - a player with the Welsh club throughout their eight-year journey from the foot of League Two to Premier League - blocked bravely. Yet aside from a good run by full debutant Gael Clichy, whose cross was too high for lone striker Dzeko, the hosts were initially quiet. Swansea looked composed on the ball and, in Nathan Dyer, appeared to have a pacy outlet, even though they did not particularly worry the home side. Almost half an hour had gone before Man City finally started to warm up, but Swansea somehow withstood the fierce barrage they encountered before half-time. Silva almost found a way through when he combined with Nigel de Jong on the edge of the box but debutant goalkeeper Michel Vorm brilliantly saved his curling effort. The Dutchman also dealt comfortably with shots from Dzeko and Adam Johnson and breathed again when Silva showed great technique after an incisive Man City move to clip the bar. A home goal began to look inevitable as Clichy crossed low into the box but Toure was hurried into a shot and miskicked. Toure almost made up for that miss as he burst down the left to shoot from the edge of the box but Vorm tipped around the post. Silva had another good chance from the resulting corner but side-foot volleyed over. Toure and Dzeko had further chances before the interval but Vorm stood firm and Barry also rattled the bar seconds before the whistle. Man City kept up the pressure after the break as Toure burst forward at every opportunity and fired one chance wide. Swansea almost caught Man City on a rare counter-attack as Stephen Dobbie got forward but Joe Hart saved well from his powerful long-range effort. Despite that Man City were still the more likely to score and their opener finally came after more fine work by Silva. The Spaniard used his strength to retain possession deep inside his own half and then set off an a charge to the edge of the opposite box. He fed Johnson out wide and although Vorm parried his curling shot, Dzeko was in the right place to divert the ball into the net as it rebounded quickly to him. The goal settled nerves at Etihad Stadium and Mancini responded by introducing Aguero to popular acclaim. The Argentinian, who replaced De Jong, was soon in the action with a tricky run and shot that Vorm did well to stop. But the former Atletico Madrid man did not need much longer to make his mark, sliding on to a Micah Richards cross at the far post to double the lead. He created another moments later, lifting the ball over Vorm and then squaring on the volley, just as the ball was millimetres from crossing the byline, for Silva to tap in. Toure went close to adding a fourth with a free-kick which deflected off the wall and clutched on the line by Vorm. It then seemed Man City were then beginning to ease off and Swansea had a chance as Scott Sinclair muscled through to shoot but Hart was not tested. But James Milner replaced Silva late on and fired a free-kick straight at Vorm. And there was still time for more drama as Aguero capped his stunning debut with a 30-yard strike that flew past Vorm into the top corner in injury time.

Guess I'll defend Mags here....
Will vegeta be able to break Magneto's Force Field? it was durable enough to withstand a reflex blast from Galactus,nukes,photons and much more. He's also able to do harm to the phoenix entity itself
Magento also reigns over the entire electromagnetic spectrum, this includes visible light(Ki), radio waves, ultraviolet light, gamma rays, and x-rays.
He can also augment his body via enhancing strength,reflexes,etc to take on 100 toners such as hercules, thor, she hulk and many others. His reaction speed has been known to be around/at lightspeed making him being "Blitz" nearly impossible
For those who don't know, Magneto can control the entire electromagnetic field of an entire planet, the entire electromagnetic spectrum and has once reversed the Earth's magnetic poles. He only loses here because Vegeta is too damn fast and will blitz him.
Mag speed: Hypersonic+, lightspeed reactions
Vege speed: Massively Hypersonic, potentially relativistic while in SSJ4 form.
@MisterShin: If speed was equal, Magneto would murder him.
Magneto can manipulate the entire electromagnetic spectrum. He's powerful enough to reverse the Earth's magnetic poles. If speed was equal, there would be nothing stopping Magneto from manipulating the iron in Vegeta's blood? The brain is an electromagnetic organ, Magneto can literally kill Vegeta by manipulating it. There are so many ways for Magneto to win if speed was equal that it's ridiculous.
I don't see Vegita speed blitzing anyone. I was in another thread and saw a character's personality being mentioned and not being tossed out the window when it comes to how they've fight. If the "everyone is a mindless killing machine" rule is tossed out, Vegeta definitely won't speed blitz. He'll toy around with Magneto at first and if Magneto ever expresses the idea that he has an attack that could kill Vegeta, Vegeta will stop attacking him and let him do the attack just to prove to Mags how much stronger he is and how his royal SS blood is no match for a mere human's attacks.

Women in Liberal compete against pancake racers from England on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.
And the Americans have a 36-28 edge in the competition that dates to the late 1950s.
On Tuesday, youngsters at Holy Family Elementary School in Hays, and their parents and teachers, competed against a pancake racer from India -- and lost.
But the Americans didn't care, because Father Kulandai Gnanasekar now is one of them.
Gnanasekar, a native of India, is associate pastor at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, and the race took place on the school playground outside his office.
Basketball was Gnanasekar's sport of choice in India, but the lean 31-year-old showed he's not to be taken lightly in a leg race, either.
He beat Father Kevin Weber in the religious/clergy division, then sprinted ahead of the other five division winners to win the pacemaker prize, an engraved spatula.
"Thanks for letting me win," Gnanasekar told Weber with a huge smile as they made their way back to their offices after the race.
"Yeah," Weber laughed, slapping his partner on the back. "Way to go. We've never won the whole race before."
The race between the Liberal women and those in Olney, Buckinghamshire, has become highly competitive through the years.
So, too, has the one in Hays.
"Those dads are really competitive; they usually always win," said Teresa Schrant, a fourth-grade teacher at Holy Family who started the race about a third of the way into her 33-year career at the school and runs it annually, featuring the HFE fourth-graders.
Oftentimes, it is one of the dads, or a sprinting fourth-grade boy, who wins the pacemaker.
Not this time.
Gnanasekar took off quickly from the starting line and never trailed, although he did let those nearest him catch up near the end.
And he definitely was a favorite of the students sitting along the sideline. When the young priest was introduced as one of the finalists, the youngsters began chanting, "USA, USA."
"Actually, that should be In-di-a," Weber said with a chuckle as he walked by the line of youngsters.
The students didn't change their allegiance, however, and that was just fine with Gnanasekar.
"In the beginning, it was a culture shock," Gnanasekar said of his July arrival in the U.S. "The wind, I have never experienced anything like that.
"But everyone has been so very kind and very encouraging," said Gnanasekar, who said there is 11.5 hours time differential between him and his family in India. "All the staff members are like a family here, and I love (being involved with) the school children. It's amazing. I feel right at home."
* * *
Winners of the 2014 Shrove Tuesday Pancake Race at Holy Family Elementary School in Hays were as follows:
* Fourth-grade boys -- Jace Wentling.
* Fourth-grade girls -- Isabella Speno.
* Teachers/staff -- Fourth-grade teacher Amber Stoecklein.
* Clergy/religious -- Father Kulandai Gnanasekar.
* Ladies -- Heather Seiler.
* Gents -- Steve Balthazor.
* Pacemaker -- Father Kulandai Gnanasekar.

Message of the scouting movement to be taken to rural areas in the district
MADIKERI: An all religion prayer, candle lamp show by the scouts and guides, marked the inauguration of the yearlong centenary celebrations of the scouting movement in the world held here on Thursday.
Deputy secretary of the Kodagu Zilla Panchayat Zulfiqarulla inaugurated the display by lighting and holding up a candle.
The beginning
The Government junior college premises then called the Central High School, venue of the function, brought back memories of the past. It was here during 1918 the Scouts and Guides movement was launched in the district under the stewardship of Rao Bahadur, K.T. Uthappa.
Speaking on the occasion, the chief commissioner of Scouts and Guides, Kodagu, K.T. Baby Mathew, said efforts would be made to spread the message of the movement in the rural areas of the district during the centenary celebrations.
Teachers involved in the movement needed to put in sincere efforts to carry forward the movement.
Earlier, the Deputy Director of Public Instruction, Mohammad Basheer, inaugurated a jatha of the scouts and guides at the Gaddige. Deputy Commissioner Subodh Yadav gave away prizes to the winners of the district-level awards in the cubs, bulbuls, scouts and guides categories.
`Achieve excellence'
He urged the scouts and guides to strive to achieve excellence. Every child was capable enough to achieve the best since the youth formed the backbone of the nation, Mr. Yadav said.
Mr. Zulfiqarulla said the kind of discipline that the movement infused in the students would stand them in good stead for the future. Principal of the Government Junior College Rekha Kalaiah also spoke.
