Colour printers are rapidly replacing their black and white equivalents, with colour printing rising 14% year on year in an otherwise flat market.
The real issue is that the centralised colour machines employed by many organisations are over-specified and over-complex laser printers and copiers. 64% of survey respondents said that they need some high-quality colour print output but for the majority of jobs it just isn't important. Only 9% said that high-quality colour print is an absolute requirement.
Budgets should be rationalised to include both the purchase price and the running costs of the printer or copier. In this way firms will be able to make more informed decisions about the contracts they sign.
By taking control over their printers in this way, companies could save substantially on running costs, reduce waste, deal with downtime and create a much more logical and accountable system for their printers and copiers.

|Ultrafast Transformations in Superionic Nanocrystals
A superionic material is a multi-component solid with simultaneous characteristics of both a solid and a liquid. Above a critical temperature associated with a structural phase transition, one of the atomic species in the material will exhibit liquid-like ionic conductivity and dynamic disorder within the rigid crystalline structure of the other. Discovered by Michael Faraday almost 200 years ago, superionic materials today hold promise for use in resistive switching devices, which follow from their abrupt changes in ionic mobility, as well as for use as safe, efficient solid-state electrolytes for rechargeable batteries. However, the fundamental processes and atomistic pathways determining how these materials switch and the new functional properties that emerge at the nanoscale are largely unknown and unexplored. Researchers have recently carried out a range of ultrafast x-ray spectroscopy and scattering experiments at three x-ray light sources, including the ALS, to obtain an atomic-level, real-time view of the transition state in superionic copper sulfide (Cu2S) nanocrystals.
In copper sulfide, the sulfur ions form the rigid crystalline cage and the copper ions occupy the interstices. Upon heating to 103 °C (217.4 °F), the sulfur cage expands into a largely vacant hexagonal structure, permitting the copper ions to hop from one local sweet spot to another within the fixed sublattice (there are many more available sites than copper ions).
Recent work at the nanoscale has shown that the transition temperature is reduced at small sizes and that polymer surface treatments can stabilize the superionic phase at room temperature. In addition, experiments on superionics for nanoscale resistance switching devices have observed switching on 100-microsecond time scales. Despite the long history of investigations into superionic materials, however, the mechanism of the structural reorganization and how that gives rise to high ionic conductivity remains largely unknown, especially at the nanoscale. Now, femtosecond studies carried out at the ALS, spectroscopic studies done at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), and diffraction studies performed at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) capture for the first time the atomic-level dynamics of a superionic nanocrystal as it transforms.
The research team looked at copper sulfide nanodiscs (10 nm in diameter) using ultrafast x-ray pump–probe techniques. The samples were photoexcited with 400-nm laser pulses then probed using synchronized femtosecond soft x-ray pulses generated at ALS Beamline 6.0.2 using established femtoslicing techniques. The resulting near-edge x-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectra at the copper L-edge revealed photo-induced changes in the local bonding geometry around the copper ions. By subtracting the laser-off spectrum from the laser-on spectrum (at a probe delay time of 400 ps), the team obtained a differential spectrum with features corresonding to a subtle redshift (i.e., a lowering of the energy) of the copper L-edge, which the researchers conclude corresponds to a lengthening of the copper bonds within the sample.
The researchers also recorded the near-edge absorption as a function of time to measure the rise time of the spectral redshift. A single-exponential fit to the data revealed an approximately 20-picosecond onset time for the spectral evolution. This observed time scale is comparable to the time it takes for a single ionic hopping event to occur. The measurements therefore indicate that the intrinsic time scale for the superionic phase transformation is governed by the ionic hopping time in these systems, identifying a transition state in which diffusional motion of the ions leads to the formation of the superionic crystallographic phase. Moreover, these results demonstrate that the transition can occur on picosecond time scales, opening up the possibility of nanoscale superionic-based switching devices controllable by light and operating at speeds orders of magnitude faster than previously demonstrated.

Rahul Gandhi fit to be PM, says Lalu Prasad Yadav
By IANS - LUCKNOW
Published: 27th July 2013 11:35 AM
Last Updated: 27th July 2013 06:07 PM
Former Bihar chief minister and RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav has endorsed Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi as the next prime minister.
Lalu Yadav said in Mirzapur Friday that Gandhi was "fit to be the prime minister and had all qualities of a bright leader".
"Rahul Gandhi has nothing negative about him. If given a chance by the people of India, he would prove to be a good prime minister," he said.
Lalu Yadav added that he would do everything to stop Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi from becoming prime minister. "I will do everything I can to stop Modi from becoming prime minister," he said.
Hitting out at the BJP, the Rashtriya Janata Dal chief said his tough stance against L.K. Advani during the Ram Janmbhoomi movement in the early 1990s ensured that the BJP leader never became prime minister.
Lalu Yadav said that he supported the Congress for its secularism but he was displeased with the recent comments of Congress leaders on poverty. He said many people in India could not afford two meals in a day.
He blamed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for "playing with the lives of school students" and held him responsible for the deaths of 23 children after they ate a mid-day meal in a government school. "Whatever bad happens in Bihar is heaped on the opposition parties. This is very unfortunate," he said.

On Friday, Oct. 26, the communities of Helvetia, Pickens, Czar and surrounding areas were enjoying the sun and the high temps of 78 in the mountains. Little did we know that our worst nightmare was just around the corner.
By Tuesday, Oct. 30, winds were picking up and the snow was falling. Hurricane Sandy had blown her wrath toward the west only to meet a storm that was headed toward central West Virginia. Snow kept falling and even though the residents of our community are very familiar with lots of snow, this was more than we expected!
Phones and electric soon went off due to the heavy snow bringing down trees and power lines. There was little communication with the outside world or our neighbors. Only those few that could send a text with their cell phones or had Internet could get messages out.
Those along the main road worked to clear their driveways and walkways of several feet of snow so that we could check on others in the community.
The state road was working in high gear to keep the main road clear, but the blizzard was coming so fast and snow was so heavy that after a few days the crew was getting worn down.
Volunteers gathered at the state road garage and the local fire department to organize and give the state road crew a hand.
With only a limited amount of equipment, crews could only get to a few back roads at a time. Priority was given to those back roads that had residents with medical needs and children.
A request was put in for the National Guard to bring more manpower and equipment. As we waited for outside help to arrive, we had local firemen, state road crews and a few national guardsmen that live in the community working vigorously to get into the back roads to trapped families.
By Friday, it was obvious that help was needed fast! We had residents that had exhausted their water supply and could not get to their springs so they were melting snow to drink.
We were getting a little nervous that some families would seriously suffer before our local crews could get to them. Early Saturday morning we were relieved to see the first truckload of water and MREs from the National Guard, and then another load came in the afternoon. This time they also had crews with chain saws ready to kick into gear and get the job done.
The power company trucks also showed up in force. One team of guardsmen scanned the community for those elderly and medical needs residents who live alone or needed major help.
Other crews pitched in and helped clear debris from back roads so the road crews and power crews could get through. Things were beginning to move forward!
Other local residents branched out on the back roads to take water and food to people. It was such a community effort!
People from Elkins, Buckhannon and other outside areas started bringing in loads of food. Hull's store became our "donation station."
By Sunday afternoon most back roads were open to 4-wheel drive vehicles and all residents on those roads were accounted for and safe. Still with no electric and phones, we were pleased to see the Red Cross food truck toll into town with hundreds of hot meals for our residents.
Again, everyone jumped in and delivered meals to those who didn't have a way to cook. By Sunday evening power and phones started coming back on in some areas and a sigh of relief and excitement came over our community for the first time in a week!
We just cannot explain and thank all who were involved. We truly are blessed to have a community that we can call family. We have not mentioned any names in this letter because there are just too many to name but be assured that your names are etched in our hearts forever. God Bless each and every one of you.

Ashton Kutcher's dirt bike outing proved no easy ride.
The Two and a Half Men star, 36, took a spin on a motocross racing course outside of Los Angeles on Thursday, only to wipe out in some gravel at the finish line, X17online reported.
Fortunately, the fun-loving father-to-be with expectant fiancée Mila Kunis, 30, wore boots and plenty of protective gear for his ride. He emerged nearly unscathed, save for a patch of road burn.
Much to the delight of onlookers, the fit Kutcher stripped off his biking duds after his spill – exposing his navy boxer briefs. His clothing change revealed a lone bloody scrape on his torso, which only needed a bandage. And perhaps a kiss at home, of course, to make it all better.

Become sewing savvy with fit and finishing techniques from Diana Rupp of Make Workshop. In Sewing Studio, she'll take you step-by-step through two classic patterns — an Envelope Pillow and Naughty Secretary Skirt — applying methods you'll use again and again. Create the projects using patterns from her book Sew Everything Workshop (not included with this class), or substitute with patterns of your choice. Begin learning the basics with tutorials on zipper insertion, lining a skirt, adding darts, finishing with French seams and much more.
The course begins with a brief introduction to the Sewing Studio and Diana Rupp, author of Sew Everything Workshop.
While working on your pillow, you will learn about fabric construction, different types of edges, cutting, hemming, seam allowances and how to construct the French seam.
In this session, you will assemble, sew, press and finish your pillow.
Diana explains the nuts and bolts of reading commercial sewing patterns and gives you the skinny on sizing conventions, pattern problems and other insider tips.
Diana walks you through all the steps of laying out and pinning your toile or mockup for the Naughty Secretary Skirt.
Continuing on with the toile of the Naughty Secretary Skirt, Diana demonstrates several cutting and marking techniques and explains how they will jazz up your sewing.
In this jam-packed session, Diana shows you how to sew the darts on your skirt toile, install an invisible zipper and sew your side and center back seams.
Using the toile or muslin, Diana teaches you how to make major and minor alterations to your Naughty Secretary Skirt.
Diana shows you how to use the tailored pattern you created with your toile to cut out the fabric for your "real" skirt.
This quick yet vital step helps to keep your seams intact. Stay-stitching also keeps bias-cut or curved pieces from distorting as you sew.
Using bias tape, Diana shows you how to make a fun and flirty waistband, a wide structured waistband or a peek-a-boo contrast waistband.
While assembling and inserting the lining for your Naughty Secretary Skirt, Diana covers everything from fabrics to seams to the importance of pressing.
Hemming made easy: Diana takes you carefully through the steps of hemming both the Naughty Secretary Skirt and the skirt lining.
Put the finishing touches on your skirt. Diana demonstrates hand sewing, the quilter's knot and the slip stitch, bringing you through the home stretch. Congratulations!
This detailed discussion of the sewing machine will equip you with the know-how you need to create fabulous and professional-looking projects.
This tutorial is great for beginners, but it is also a handy review for those of you who have been away from your sewing machine for a while.
"This was my second sewing class - the first one was an in-person class. It was exactly what I was looking for. Diana starts with the basics but includes some more advanced skills such as french seams and fitting. What I most appreciated was Diana's attention to detail. It helped me be more precise in my sewing. Even though I am a beginner, following Diana's instructions, I completed a pencil skirt that fits perfect and looks great. Thank you Diana."

As soon as we got back there was a bit of a welcoming committee with various staff, students, athletes, and other Stetson affiliates that greeted us as we got off the bus. That meant a lot to the team because we knew that people went out of their way to be at the Edmunds Center when we got back. This was more than just a conference championship win for us. We know that Stetson is now representing the entire Atlantic Sun Conference in the NCAA tournament and it's good to know that we have support.
After winning our conference championship we were given a few days off to relax and catch up on missed work. It also gave us time to start working on assignments we would likely miss because of the upcoming travel days.
All of Stetson has been extremely supportive and proud of us. It is amazing to come back and feel so received by the campus. It is cool to be recognized for any type of accomplishment especially one of this nature.
Honestly, I think my team and I are still riding on the championship high. I don't how many times we've all watched the game again in our free time. It's a moment I'll never forget. For most us, the win sank in one minute before the game ended. We never had a doubt in our minds that we wouldn't win the game. But with about a minute left, it just became real. There are no other words to describe it. It was just REAL.
Practice has been like many other practices that we have. We focus on what we need to do to get better. Defense and rebounding is always a major focus in our practices, as well as execution. Winning the championship does not really change our practices. We run hard, practice hard, and play hard. It's the best way to prepare for any game and fortunately is a habit of ours. The only difference in our practices is the energy within the team and coaching staff. We are all excited about going to the NCAA tournament and having an opportunity that many other schools missed out on. It is a humbling experience to say the least.
Tomorrow night is a big night for the team. All of us have been counting down the days to the Selection Show. Being a part of this process is a reminder that we deserve to be here and that we have worked just as hard, if not harder to be put in this position. Coach Bria has emphasized many times that this is not about who we play but how we play. It is an attitude that we have all adopted. We have proven that we can play with any team so now it's just about going out there and getting it done.

Disabled people now have better access to the shelter and fishing pond at Miller Conservation Farm.
Through a $38,000 Community Development Block Grant, Seneca Soil and Water Conservation District, which owns the farm, has added a walkway that meets Americans with Disabilities Act criteria.
"The new paving is done," said Danielle Vent, SWCD wildlife specialist. "We paved down the hill and the new ADA walkway is complete. Everything is smoothed out and reseeded."
Article Photos
A paved path zigzags down a slope at Miller Conservation Farm after changes were made so the farm meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.
A road that extends down a hill from the paved parking lot to a fishing pond, as well as the area around the shelter house, have been paved.
The road, which was stone, was graded to make it easier for people in wheelchairs, parents pushing strollers and people who otherwise need help traversing the hill to use the fishing pond or walk the trail.
Another paved path was added from the parking lot to the shelter and down the grade to join the road.
Next spring, Vent said SWCD and volunteers will put in a new garden area and do some landscaping.
This summer, the parking lot was paved using a $12,276 NatureWorks grant after construction was completed on a new building. The building is to be used for shelter during fall and winter hunts and other activities, as well as to store maintenance equipment.
Vent said the district is working to put heat in new building.
The first hunt of the year is to be the 13th annual handicapped hunt during the statewide deer gun season Nov. 28-Dec 3. With the assistance of Vent and volunteers from Tiffin-Seneca Izaak Walton League, disabled hunters are transported by volunteers. Applications are being accepted from hunters with disabilities for the hunt until Thursday.
SWCD also is sponsoring a lottery drawing for hunts during muzzleloader season Jan. 7-10. The lottery is open to any county resident with a legal hunting license. One person is to be drawn for each day. Winners will be given a permission slip to hunt the farm along with one other licensed hunter of their choice. Applications must be received in the office by Dec. 19 and winner will be notified by Dec. 21.
Also this winter, SWCD and Seneca County Pheasants Forever plan to host a youth rabbit hunt at the farm near the end of January. More details will be available in December.
For hunt applications, stop at the SWCD office, 3140 S. SR 100, Suite D.
For more information, contact Vent at (419) 447-7073.

A small section of town in Pembroke, MA. It's full of hicks, old people, snobs, and idiotic teens who think they're completely gangsta, when they're really a bunch of stupid posers. It's truly every bit as dull as the rest of Pembroke, and is home to the Bryantville Post Office, the Bryantville Deli, Billy Kidd's Sub Shop, a Cumby's, houses of all sizes, and a whole bunch of little mom-and-pop run businesses.
Bryantville should be renamed to Boringville because it's the epitome of dull.

MARTINSBURG - For Donte' Grantham, Martinsburg basketball has always been about family.
His mother, Collette Robertson, played basketball for the Bulldogs. So did his sister, Iesha Robertson. So did his uncle, Buck Springette, and his cousins, Dwayne Johnson, Mikey Grantham, Kirk Grantham and Durrell Johnson.
It now seems that the Bulldogs star has blazed a path that is a lot like that of his sister.

She scored 1,000 points in her stellar career. Grantham achieved that goal this season in the regional championship against Elkins.
Like his sister, he likely will likely be a two-time first-team all-state player.
Now, as his sister was previously honored as The Journal's girls basketball player of the year, Grantham has been named The Journal boys basketball player of the year.
"It's a big honor because I remember my sister winning that as a junior and a senior," Grantham said. "I feel like everything that I saw happen to her is now happening to me."
"He certainly is deserving," Martinsburg coach Dave Rogers said. "He is a great player and a better person. He really worked hard and every season he was here he has improved. I've had a lot of great players here (in 38 years) and I would say Donte' is up there with the best."
It's been a stellar senior year for Grantham, who last week led the Bulldogs to the Class AAA state championship, the schools third.
The 6-foot-7,Grantham, who celebrated his 18th birthday Tuesday, averaged 18 points and 13.3 rebounds in the tournament. In the Bulldogs' 57-52 win over Woodrow Wilson in the state championship game, he had 20 points and 17 rebounds, only six fewer than Woodrow's five starters combined.
Grantham averaged 18.3 points and 9.1 rebounds for the season. He also had 33 3-pointers, 54 steals, 44 assists and 46 blocked shots.
It's been a long climb for the highly recruited Grantham, who was a point guard in sixth and seventh grade.
"I was 5-6 when I was 12, 13 years old," Grantham said. "I was a little bit taller than most people but nothing like I am now, being 6-7. My freshman year I went to about 6-3 and as a sophomore I was 6-5. I think being able to be a point guard early really helped my career get where it is now. You have to be able to make decisions; you have to be able to pass and see the floor. I think it really elevated my game."
Another thing that elevated his game was attending a birthday party for classmate, and future teammate, Jalen Lewis.
The team that formed the bulk of the 2013 state champions started at the home of Lewis, whose stepfather is former Bulldogs and WVU star and current assistant coach Marsalis Basey.
"Me and Jalen were in the same second-grade class," Grantham said. "It was May 9, and I went to his birthday party at his house. That's where we started our team and got with coach Marsalis. It was an AAU team, and we had me and Jalen, David Long, Jordan Robinson, Denzel Cole, Brian Hairston. We had a great team. We played over there all the time. We almost grew up on coach Basey's court in his backyard."
Some of Grantham's earliest memories center directly on Martinsburg basketball.
"The first thing I remember was when my Uncle Buck was playing, back when Kevin Pittsnogle was here," Grantham said. "Some guy hit a halfcourt shot to knock us out of going to states. That's kind of a bad memory.
"I remember another game, and this was my best memory of Martinsburg basketball back then, they had two great players. Qmonte Matheny had a breakaway dunk, and he missed it. The ball bounced high off the rim, and Andre Hornes came out of nowhere and just flushed it. I still haven't seen anything like that here."
He rated that dunk as better than his own tomahawk slam against Elkins in the regional championship game.
"That was probably my best high school dunk," Grantham said. "I didn't notice until after I saw the picture that I was that high. I think it was the first time I got an honest-to-goodness, breakaway dunk."
As for his future college plans, Grantham said he will wait at least until next month to make a decision.
He is not short on suitors. The list includes: West Virginia, Villanova, Cincinnati, Georgetown, Maryland, Nebraska, Clemson, Wake Forest, Xavier and Temple.

"We're excited and incredibly happy about our engagement and we look forward to a wonderful future together," the longtime couple announced in a joint statement.
Lachey, 36, popped the question to Minnillo, 29, on Thursday "near a beach" in California, with an Asscher-cut diamond flanked with trapezoids from Bader & Garrin, a source tells PEOPLE.
On Thursday afternoon, Lachey took to Twitter to write, "Hey all. If anyone's heard the rumors of my engagement, they are absolutely true! Vanessa and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for all the love."
"They are very happy," the source adds. "They make each other happy."
The couple, who split briefly in 2009, were not apart long before getting back together. "I am happy in a relationship," Lachey said at the time.
For her part, Minnillo hasn't been quiet about her desire to marry her longtime beau. "Once again it looks as if I'm always the bridesmaid but never the bride," she said, gently ribbing Lachey last year.
As for how they keep their relationship hot, Minnillo recently revealed that the couple shower together twice a day. "It's not a sexual thing and it's not a romantic thing," she said. "It just becomes an intimate thing ... I've had some of my most intimate conversations with him in the shower."
The duo began dating in 2006.
The will be the second marriage for Lachey, who was previously married to Jessica Simpson.

"Voluntourism", the international development charity points out, is a growing market in which increasing numbers of school leavers are paying commercial companies for the privilege of working for nothing in some of the world's poorest communities.
In return, they get a good line for the resume, a clutch of traveller's tales and a warm feeling created by the sense of doing something worthwhile while getting a key "life experience".
Some 200,000 British people - of which 130,000 are school leavers - take a gap year each year, spending on average $9,500 each. Unsurprisingly, some report unrewarding placements provided by unscrupulous companies who fail to fulfil their promise of a meaningful role at the heart of a grateful community.
VSO UK's director, Judith Brodie, doesn't pull her punches in condemning such sharp practice. Young people who want to make a difference, she says, "would be better off travelling and experiencing different cultures, rather than wasting time on projects that have no impact and can leave a big hole in their wallet". The charity, in conjunction with other organisations, is developing guidelines to help would-be volunteers avoid the pitfalls - common-sense points about checking what's involved in the package, along with some aid-world style awareness of the long-term impact of the placement on the host community.
But while there's clearly a need to put a check on the commercialisation and exploitation of well-intentioned desires, the issue raises some rather difficult questions about our relationship with the developing world, and how we go about helping it.
In one sense, the phenomenon of voluntourism is a problem of success, a testimony to the fact that there is now a huge interest, among the young of the affluent West particularly, in the lives and struggles of communities across the globe.
Generating this kind of concern, and whetting an appetite to act on it, was exactly what made landmark anti-poverty campaigns like Make Poverty History such a success.
But a problem that afflicts the aid world more broadly follows quick on its heels. Having generated this energy, how then to harness it in a way that makes a difference?
Charities are all too familiar with the fact that high-profile, high-tragedy crises tend to generate legions of offers from well-meaning members of the public to go and volunteer in the afflicted area, without having the skills or resources to be effective.
South Asia's 2004 tsunami was a case in point - and now, ironically, negative perceptions of a dangerous Sri Lanka mean that VSO's work there is in jeopardy because of a shortage of volunteers.
A second, related complexity concerns the motives for volunteering. Last year, VSO warned that gap year volunteers risked becoming the "new colonialists" if they didn't change their attitudes to the developing world and stop putting their needs above those of the communities they profess to help.
But can the motives for international volunteering ever be pure? Nearly a decade ago, I did my own mini-version of a gap year while mid-career change, with a month's English teaching in a West Bank refugee camp. It was my first trip to the Middle East, for which I paid a modest fee - around £350 ($700) - to cover the costs of the flight, insurance and food.
On the placement side, the scheme would probably have passed VSO's guidelines: a rigorous selection day was followed by training sessions in what work, culture and conditions to expect. Once in the Palestinian Territories, things were well organised and we were well integrated into the community, which seemed, quite genuinely, to appreciate our efforts.
But - if I'm honest - my motives for volunteering were far from pure. Initially what drew me was an inchoate desire to explore that part of the world by getting under its skin rather than floating over the surface like a regular tourist. In fact, voluntourism wouldn't have been an unfair description of what I was doing.
In the event, the experience went much deeper, and launched me on a professional course that I'm still pursuing today, to which the Middle East is central. But the accidental path by which I got there makes me reflect on the muddy waters of the global consciousness of which voluntourism is a part. Hopefully, more and more people will seek a meaningful relationship with the developing world. But as they do so, there will doubtless be more complexities and pitfalls for organisations such as VSO to point out.

Sometimes you get it right.
A lot of times you get it wrong.
Which is why I'm resolving to stop writing this fantasy football column.
At least for 2012.
So you've reached the final week of the fantasy football season and if you're still reading this, it means one of two things: you're still alive in your playoffs or you severely lack other entertainment options.
The challenge of Week 17 is that not everyone plays their starters for the whole game so some leagues will end their season in Week 16. Others will have their championship game run two weeks over Weeks 16 and 17. In my longtime league, we make Week 17 our Pro Bowl with the regular season division winners serving as the head coaches of the respective teams. Our owners vote on who they think the starting lineup should be and the coaches break ties or can overrule a starter if they are for sure going to be out. The losing division has to pay for the food at the next year's draft.
Whatever is the case for you, let's get into those matchups that may be favorable and what to avoid.
The Falcons, Bengals and Colts all have the potential to rest players since they have their playoff positions locked up.
Let's start with the Falcons, who as a No. 1 seed, have no benefit to playing anyone more than a half, if only to not have guys take two weeks off since they will have the bye next week. I wouldn't start anyone on the Falcons because of that fact. Banged up guys like Roddy White may get a good week of rest to make sure they're healthy for games that matter.
The Bengals and Colts are younger teams with quarterbacks in their first (Andrew Luck) or second (Andy Dalton) year with a bevy of young players around them. It's more important for those teams to continue their rhythm heading into the postseason than rest. But if the game gets out of reach for either squad, they could start pulling the big guns in the fourth quarter.
So if you're looking for a QB because you don't want to roll the dice with the above three QBs or lost Carson Palmer to injury, take a peek at Michael Vick, who was thrust back into the starter role since Nick Foles is out for the year. He has a favorable matchup against the Giants, who are giving up the ninth most fantasy points to QBs.
Matt Forte is hurt again but with the Bears needing to win and the Vikings to lose to get into the playoffs, he's likely to play since Michael Bush is out for the season.
However, the Browns do not have anything to play for. Since Trent Richardson hurt his ankle last week, he may not play this weekend against Pittsburgh and its No. 2 ranked run defense. Richardson or Montario Hardesty would be poor plays this weekend.
I wouldn't turn to Ryan Grant as a solution either. While the ageless one had 20 carries for 80 yards and two scores last week, the Packers have said all three running backs will see time this week, and plus the Vikings have the seventh toughest defense against fantasy running backs.
The Steelers' Heath Miller was lost for the season last week, dashing the hopes of many an owner who had ridden his 816 yards and eight scores to wins this year. With him down, look at Lance Kendricks or Delanie Walker. Kendricks has scored in three of his last five weeks, gone over 32 yards at least in all those games and had a four-catch, 119-yard performance last weekend against the Bucs. Walker has taken over in San Francisco while authorities file a missing person report for Vernon Davis. Walker has scored in each of the last two weeks.
None of these suggestions are great solutions, but beggars can't be choosers when it comes to this point of the season. Hopefully your team's bench had good depth that would provide better options.
Make good decisions.
Go with your gut (you have to live with it after all).
And as Jake Taylor said, "I guess there's only one thing left to do."
You can fill in the rest.

Item Description
Out of the smoky bars and neon lights of East Nashville comes the swinging Telecaster blues of guitar-slinger Jim Oblon. His new album Sunset, recorded with the legendary session drummer Jim Keltner and renowned GRAMMY-winning pianist/organist Larry Goldings, has musical roots that go deep into blues, R&B and classic country on a variety of ballads, vintage rock and standards. Oblon, always a believer in the bigger musical picture, aims to expound upon musical legacy without becoming an impersonation. "Today there's a 'blues scene' with Brylcreem and bowling shirts, all the gear, but it doesn't have the essence of music. I wanted to honor the people who came before me. Maybe I can add a few of my own things, but I want to not lose what was."
"Unlike so many hot players onstage every Tuesday night in East Nashville, Jim Oblon understands restraint is as much the realm of passion as stinging notes that fall like shrapnel." —Nashville Arts Magazine

The Coosaw Creek Crocodiles broke five meet records this week en route to claiming their third straight City Meet Championship.
A total of 23 teams from across the South Carolina Lowcountry participated the 2013 Coastal Carolina Aquatics Association Championship Meet held at the Jewish Community Center in West Ashley July 21-23.
Ashley Ridge swimmer Micah Bohon was the star of the meet. She set new records in all three of her individual events and helped a Crocodile relay team set a new record.
"Having this team behind me helps," Bohon said. "They push me and with their spirit things just keep getting better. We lost a couple of good swimmers who were seniors last year but our team spirit has grown and that helps keep us going."
Bohon and Daniel Island's Megan Kingsley both finished the 15-18 Girls 50-meter Butterfly with a 29.28 time Monday to break a record Bohon set in 2011. Later that evening, Bohon set meet records in the 15-18 Girls 50 Breaststroke (34.49) and 15-18 Girls 100 Individual Medley (1:05.62) races. Bohon set the IM record last summer but the Breaststroke record formerly held by Parkshore swimmer Cami Sink had stood since 1994.
On Tuesday, Bohon swam the anchor leg for the Coosaw 15-18 Mixed 200 Medley Relay Team that finished in 1:56.38 to set a new record and propel the Crocodiles to the championship. Other members of the record-setting relay team are Alecia Rattigan, Noah Brazier and Bohon's twin brother Jeremiah Bohon.
Green Wave swimmer Jackson Seith brought the Crocodiles another meet record, finishing the 13-14 Boys 50 Breaststroke in 31.45 to win the event and shatter the record by more than two seconds.
"Both me and Joe (Riddell), the swimmer in the lane next to me, were seeded ahead of the record so we were both trying to break it and pushed each other," Seith said. "I knew I had to beat him in order to get the record."
The Newington Swim Team also jumped in on the record setting. The Tiger Sharks' 8U 100 Mixed Medley Relay Team of Kennedy Ellwood, J.D. Haffner, Lainey Crafton, and James Lopez finished in 1:22.96 to break a record that had held since 2007.
Coosaw Creek trailed 22-time City Meet champion Snee Farm entering the final day of this year's meet, but got the job done in the relay events to finish in first place with 2,746 points. Snee Farm (2,724.5 points) placed second and Daniel Island (2,612.5) placed third.
"We set goals at the beginning of the season and of course one of them was to win City Meet so we work toward that all summer," Rattigan said. "The best thing about this team is how much of a family we are. We do stuff together outside of the pool and all the swimmers and parents are committed to the team and that has led to some of the success."
Newington (1,400) had the next highest finish for the Summerville teams, placing ninth. The finish marks a one-spot climb from the Tiger Sharks' 2012 performance.
Ashborough (1,005.5) placed 16th; Pine Forest (780) placed 18th; Legend Oaks (516) placed 20th and the Summerville YMCA (47) placed 23rd.
Other local swimmers winning multiple individual events included Pine Forest's Cassidy Lima (7-8 Girls Free and Breaststroke) and Coosaw Creek's Antonio Gunther (9-10 Boys Free and IM), Jeremiah Bohon (15-18 Boys Breaststroke and IM) and Seith (13-14 Boys Breast and IM).
The City Meet girls' championship was captured by Snee Farm while Daniel Island finished as boys' champions.
Micah Norton of the Country Club Phish received the league's senior scholarship presented each year in honor of former Summerville High School swim coach Carolyn Y. Keller. Team Sportsmanship Awards were presented to Snee Farm (Red League), Longpoint (White League) and Legend Oaks (Blue League).

No introduction yet
We're just a casual group of people who love the game of Ultimate Frisbee. All skill levels are welcome as long as you promise to have fun! For any beginners, please read the following 10 rules to Ultimate. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! :)
Ultimate in 10 Simple Rules
1. The Field -- A rectangular shape with endzones at each end. A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with endzones 25 yards deep.
2. Initiate Play -- Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective endzone line. The defense throws ("pulls") the disc to the offense. A regulation game has seven players per team.
3. Scoring -- Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense's endzone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated after each score.
4. Movement of the Disc -- The disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate. Players may not run with the disc. The person with the disc ("thrower") has ten seconds to throw the disc. The defender guarding the thrower ("marker") counts out the stall count.
5. Change of possession -- When a pass in not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception), the defense immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the offense.
6. Substitutions -- Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout.
7. Non-contact -- No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made.
8. Fouls -- When a player initiates contact on another player a foul occurs. When a foul disrupts possession, the play resumes as if the possession was retained. If the player committing the foul disagrees with the foul call, the play is redone.
9. Self-Refereeing -- Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes.
10. Spirit of the Game -- Ultimate stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of play.

A tankless water heater company based in Summerville has been ordered to dish out more than $700,000 by a Dorchester County jury.
An Upstate plumbing company, Amo, sued Eccotemp Systems after the company bought 489 units that were installed in new homes in Richland and Lexington counties.
Eric Bland, an attorney representing Amo, said that around 2008, those Eccotemp units began failing once the outside temperatures dropped and they froze, causing pipes to burst in some of those homes.
"You can imagine a homeowner in the middle of the night, pipes burst, water leaking," Bland said. Seventy percent of the units they purchased failed, according to Bland. "If a product fails more than three percent, it's called an epidemic failure," Bland said.
"There really is no word in the commercial arena to describe a 70 percent failure of a product."
Of those units that froze, 25 percent of them led to burst pipes, he said.
Mike Elrod, the founder and owner of Eccotemp, said he doesn't believe his company was at fault.
Eccotemp's products are sold at more than 2,000 retailers in North America, Europe and the Middle East, according to the company's website.
Eccotemp was one of the first companies to manufacture tankless water heaters and sell them for about the same cost of a standard water heater, it said.
"The reason they are promoted is because they are energy-efficient," Bland said. Around 2007, utility companies in the state began pressing home builders to use these types of water heaters in new homes, he said. Bland said his clients chose Eccotemp because their pricing was very competitive compared to the other companies selling tankless water heaters. They were about 30 to 40 percent less expensive than competitors' prices, he said. Amo paid $498 per unit, a total of about $39,000.
After the units froze, Eccotemp replaced around 17 that were still under the warranty, Bland said. But 14 of those froze again within four days, he said.
Then, Amo decided to replace all of Eccotemp units with a competitor's product, which they said they have had no problems with.
Amo filed a suit against Eccotemp claiming breach of warranty, breach of contract, and unfair trade practices.
On March 1, a jury sided with Amo on the breach of warranty claim and awarded the company $125,000. They also sided with Amo on the breach of contract claim, awarding them $158,000 and $158,000 under the South Carolina Unfair Trade Practice Act.
The jury also determined that Eccotemp's actions were willful, so they tripled the damages awarded on the Unfair Trade Practice Act claim, according to the verdict. The final award totals about $757,000.
When asked about whether he will appeal the verdict, Elrod said he is not sure yet.

A 19-year-old city man was arraigned late Thursday night on charges stemming from the shooting death of another young man hours earlier in a second-floor apartment in the 1200 block of West Fourth Street, city police said.
Da'Ran Malik Sears, of 1261 W. Fourth St., has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, recklessly endangering, simple assault and receiving stolen property as a result of a shooting that occurred in his apartment about 2:15 p.m. and claimed the life of Donte Marks, 22, of the 800 block of High Street, police said.
Sears told police he "was handling a handgun when it discharged, striking Marks," Agent Trent R. Peacock said in an affidavit.
It turned out that the handgun was stolen, Peacock said, adding that weapon was owned by Ron Brelsford. It had been reported stolen to the state police at Montoursville.
Marks was pronounced dead in the Williamsport Regional Medical Center's emergency room at 3:24 p.m., Lycoming County Coroner Charles E. Kiessling Jr. said.
He said Marks died of a gunshot wound to the chest.
Kiessling said "I'm not ruling on the manner of death at this point. We're at the very early states of this investigation."
Police and paramedics were dispatched to the two-story apartment house to investigate a report of a person with "an unknown medical problem," Capt. Timothy Miller told a reporter at the scene.
"One of our officers arrived here before the ambulance. He didn't know what he was walking into or what he might find. He went inside and saw a male victim with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the chest," Miller said.
"We're still trying to determine motive. It does appear that all the individuals involved know each other," Miller added.
Peacock said a 911 dispatcher "received an anonymous call from someone saying only they needed medical help at that address."
The sirens and the arrival of emergency responders certainly got the attention of neighbors.
"I first heard an ambulance stopping near the front of my house and then all these police cars came," one neighbor, who did not give her name, said
"I soon saw police bring a young man out of the building in handcuffs and then paramedics brought a man out on a stretcher. They were doing chest compressions on him," the woman said.
"The guy in handcuffs was jumping up and down and saying 'I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything,'" the neighbor added.
The same neighbor said that several minutes later, she saw police handcuff a second man and put him in the back of another cruiser. No information was available about this individual and if he was later released.
Sources said the apartment house has four units, three of them occupied. Two brothers, believed to be in their 20s, live in the apartment where the shooting occurred.
A 24-year-old single mother of two who lives in the apartment house was upset to see crime tape surrounding the entire building when she arrived home from work about 5:30 p.m.
"Who wants to come home to this," she told a reporter as she helped her children out of the car.
She did not know the tenants in the apartment where the shooting occurred, she said.
Sears was committed to the Lycoming Prison in lieu of $750,000.

For those residents viewing heroin as a big-city drug far removed from our relatively rural setting, the news of recent tells another tale.
The Department of Justice has identified a major heroin trafficking highway running between Williamsport and Philadelphia. Dealers are purchasing the drug in Philadelphia and selling it in Greater Williamsport area, Lock Haven and Wellsboro for twice the price.
Unfortunately, they've got a market of buyers, many of them very young. And history shows that once people get addicted to heroin, they don't kick the habit without a long road of professional help and difficult withdrawal. Even then, they are fighting the odds.
An extensive look at the local heroin market in the Sunday edition of the Sun-Gazette painted a scary tale heroin purchasers shooting up in parking lots moments after a purchase because they are so addicted, a broad-based clientele that crosses all demographics and a wide age group. About 85 percent of the Lycoming County Drug Court defendants are addicted to heroin.
The drug is overpowering. The circumstances of its purchase hard to disrupt. The availability for purchase growing more accessible everyday.
That's a tough combination to beat, especially for parents trying to keep kids from ruining their lives before they know any better.
And that's perhaps the only solution - knowing better.
It's not sexy, but the best preventative to any drug use, but especially a highly addictive drug such as heroin, is never getting involved in the drug in the first place. That takes, most importantly, parents teaching their kids right from wrong at a very young age and teaching them how to make correct decisions.
To parents of kids in our area, these drugs can ruin your child's future before it begins.
Be aggressive.
Be alert.
Be caring.
It's the best anti-drug medicine we know of.

Conspiracy theories don't honor victims
February 15, 2013
On that sad day in December when news of the tragic school shooting in Connecticut dominated not just our televisions and computers but also our conversations, thoughts and fears, many in our area......
While I agree with your basic premise, I believe that the larger question is why do some Americans believe in government conspiracies? Could it be that our government has a record streching decades of government coverups? An example from 50+ years ago, the Kennedy assination. Now one just weeks ago, the Bengazzi incident. These incidents underscore many Americans distrust in their government to present ALL OF THE FACTS and in some cases, such as Bengazzi, just a few facts would be helpful. Cases where the government has witheld facts or twisted the facts to suit their particular political agenda breeds contempt and then, conspiracy theories have an excellent breeding ground.

I believe our govt leaders have given us PLENTY of examples for being very very very suspicious of their under-workings. Obama is what happened because of foolish people "believing" politician's LIES! When will some folks ever learn? Probably never. So gullibel they may as well "write" SUCKER on their foreheads as scammers and crooks like Obama/socialist dems in congress can see you all coming a mile away!! In order to not be used or scammed by fools...you must prove to be less of a fool yourself....and that requires common sense and an ability to think for oneself.

Kyle Rodriguez keeps an updated list of the key names in the Colts' GM search.
Per requests, I'll be updating this page as new information is available. I"ll keep the current candidates listed up here on top, with the details below for each candidate. New updates will be marked with an asterisk, and details of the update can be found under the candidate's longer profile below
- Ryan Grigson*
Have Been Interviewed
- Tom Telesco
- Marc Ross
- Tom Ciskowski
- Les Snead
- David Caldwell
- Jim Popp
Fallen Off the Track
- Doug Whaley
- Jeff Foster
No Longer Options
- Reggie McKenzie
- Eric DeCosta
As the Colts season has now ended, earlier than at any point in the last 10 years, it is time to move forward. With the recent firings of Bill and Chris Polian, Jim Irsay has made it clear that the Colts are looking at a rebuilding stage. This will likely lead to multiple losing seasons in coming years, and unless Manning turns out to be healthy for a few more years, a very low chance at any playoff spots. While the Colts' valleys are all but guaranteed at this point, the length of time in those valleys is not. The new general manager and team president (however Irsay decides to address the two positions) will have the biggest impact on how long the Colts rebuilding stage is, along with the 2012 first round pick.
While the Colts have until April before Luck is officially theirs (most likely scenario), the decision on the front office will come decidedly sooner. Already we have heard reports, tweets, and interview requests come through the media, although no substantial progress has occurred thus far. That being said, I think it is the perfect time to now look ahead from the Polian's to their successor(s). And so, here are a few key names that could play a role in Jim Irsay's decision.
The Not Gonna Happen
Reggie McKenzie- Director of Football Operations, Green Bay Packers
McKenzie is now in his fourth year as the director of football operations for the Packers, after obtaining a job as a pro personnel assistant and director of pro personnel prior to becoming director in 2008. He was a linebacker in the NFL for seven years, most notable for the Los Angeles Raiders from 1985-1988. He is one of the few former players in today's NFL front office ranks, and is a sexy pick around the league to be a future star GM.
I know, I know, this is the name that everybody wants, but I don't see it happening. McKenzie hasn't been reported to have been contacted by the Colts, and seeing how they recently asked to interview McKenzie's employee, director of college scouting John Dorsey (who declined), I doubt they go for McKenzie. Also, the Colts are looking for somebody who a great talent evaluator, and what they mean by that is college player evaluation. McKenzie has spent his career in the NFL doing pro personnel evaluation. Basically this is what it means:
"McKenzie oversees Green Bay's scouting efforts of all professional football leagues, including the NFL, CFL and Arena Football League, as well as all other pro leagues and international players. He also plays an integral role in judging the Packers' current players and evaluating potential free agents across the league."
Basically, McKenzie's main job has been evaluating free agents, not college players. Now, McKenzie is more involved with the draft recently, being the director of football operations, but I believe the Colts don't see him as fitting the role they want (hence going after Dorsey instead).
McKenzie is interviewing with the Raiders for their general manager position, but my money is that he stays in Green Bay. But, having connections with the Raiders, it makes sense why he would choose to take the Oakland job if given the chance.
UPDATE: Adam Schefter reported Thursday night that the Raiders will be hiring McKenzie.
The Pipe Dream
Eric DeCosta- Director of Player Personnel, Baltimore Ravens
DeCosta was a scout for the Ravens from 1998-2002, then was named Director of College Scouting in 2003. He was promoted to Director of Player Personnel in 2009, and is rumored to be the heir apparent of Ozzie Newsome. DeCosta is 40 years old, notable simply because Polian and Bill Tobin, the Colts' last two GMs (I don't really count Chris Polian, he was overshadowed by Bill) were both in their 50's when hired.
A lot of interest has opened up for DeCosta, most notably from the Chicago Bears and the Colts. According to Albert Breer, the Bears and Colts' GM jobs are likely the leading two possibilities to uproot DeCosta from his home in Baltimore. In my opinion, DeCosta is the guy the Colts want the most, and would fit what they need a lot more than a guy like McKenzie (whose experience is mostly in free agent scouting). But, in order to get him, the Colts would need to give DeCosta a very good reason to come to Indianapolis. Of course, Andrew Luck would be one big advantage.
The Colts have requested permission to interview DeCosta, and have received permission from the Ravens.
UPDATE: Schefter reported Friday that the Ravens announced that DeCosta won't be interviewing with other teams, but will be staying with Ravens. This refutes the earlier report from The Baltimore Sun.
The Internal Promotion
Tom Telesco- Director of Player Personnel, Indianapolis Colts
Telesco, like McKenzie, has had most of his background in pro scouting, but has also been an area scout for both the Colts and the Panthers. Telesco is a Polian-bred guy, interning for the Bills from '91-'94, then working for the Panthers and Colts when Bill was with those respective clubs. Telesco is younger as well, having just turned 39.
Telesco would provide the consistency that the Colts love so much, but if Irsay really wants to star over, as it seems he does, he may want to bring in someone from the outside. It seems likely that Telesco will at least garner an interview, but beyond that is yet to be seen. Telesco had the respect of the Polians, and while Irsay may have been tired of their attitudes, he certainly respects their opinions in terms of talent evaluation. Telesco was rumored to be an option for the Buffalo Bills' front office openings in 2009, and is currently in the mix for GM jobs in St. Louis and Chicago.
Ryan Grigson- Director of Player Personnel, Philadelphia Eagles
Grigson has been a scout in the NFL since 1999 (worked in CFL prio), working for the Rams until 2004. Since then, he's been with the Eagles, as a regional scout, director of college scouting, and, for the last two years, director of player personnel. Grigson fits the mold of a DeCosta in terms of his college scouting background. He will be turning 40 in February, and is from Highland, Indiana.
Grigson hadn't been mentioned by anybody that I can find, until Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reported that the Colts (and others) were interested on Thursday night. Soon after, the Philadelphia Inquirer confirmed that the Eagles had given Grigson permission to interview for both the Colts and Rams' GM jobs. Grigson has been a scout for winning organizations for over ten years, and wouldn't be a bad choice, as long as the "Dream Team" disaster in 2011 wasn't his brain child. Being from Indiana may be a bonus though.
UPDATE: Schefter reported Tuesday that Grigson has returned for a second interview, and other sources say that Grigson may be the favorite.
The Unique One
Jeff Foster- National Football Scouting President
Unlike any of the other candidates, Foster is not employed by any NFL teams. He was previously a scout, most notably under Kansas City Chiefs giant Carl Peterson. Currently, Foster is the president of National Football Scouting and runs the Combine in February every year. I was hard pressed to find any other information on him, he keeps a pretty low profile.
The word is that he's expected to be in the mix, according to Adam Schefter. But, because he's not affiliated with another team, we won't see confirmations of interview requests or things like that, so don't expect to see much on him. His background in talent evaluation is extremely extensive, which may give him an edge. On the other hand, his lack of experience in a front office changes things up a bit.
UPDATE: Foster seems to never have been considered, as Colts GM Jim Irsay verified that seven candidates would be interviewed by Monday. Since we have confirmation that seven other candidates are being interviewed, it looks like either Foster or the Colts declined to show interest.
The Sleeper
Doug Whaley- Assistant General Manager/Director of Player Personnel, Buffalo Bills
Although he's been overlooked by many this year, Doug Whaley has been an up-and-comer among front office candidates for years. Starting as a scout, Whaley was brought up in the Steeler system, eventually becoming the Pro Personnel Coordinator. In 2010, Whaley accepted the Assistant GM position in Buffalo, and was expected to be the next in line for the GM spot.
Whaley was reported by Albert Breer to be a future GM star earlier this year, and he has been mentioned specifically in relation to the Bears and Colts in recent reports. Whaley is known as being brilliant, and I'm willing to bet that the Bills will do what it takes to keep him. But, don't be surprised if the Colts request an interview, and are granted one. Whaley is also in his late 30s, and fits the mold of other potential targets.
UPDATE: Similar to Foster, Whaley has never been confirmed as an interviewee, and it seems he's been left out of the circle. Rumors are that the Colts decided not to interview him.
The Older One
Tom Ciskowski- Director of College and Pro Scouting, Dallas Cowboys
Ciskowski has moved up in the Cowboys organization, starting as a scout in 1992, and rising all the way up to his current position in 2008. Ciskowski, like DeCosta or Grigson, has spent most of his career evaluating college level talent. He also spent 15 years coaching, the majority of that in the college ranks.
I haven't seen any news on Ciskowski being in the mix for any jobs around the league, but the Colts have requested permission to interview him. Ciscowski did interview for the VP of Player Personnel in St. Louis in 2006, but was beat out by Tony Softli. Other than that, not much is known on him. But, like Whaley, this is the type of pick I would not at all be surprised to see Jim Irsay make. He is even more low profile than Whaley, and someone with a TON of experience in talent evaluation. Ciskowski is 55, different from most of the other candidates we've seen.
The Other Long Shot
Marc Ross- Director of College Scouting, New York Giants
Ross has worked in scouting since 1997, when he started with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was promoted to College Scouting Director in 2000 (age 27, youngest CSD ever). He joined the Bills as a national college scout in 2004, then signed with the Giants as the Director of College Scouting in 2007.
Ross is a young (just 38), bright (Princeton grad and UMass master's degree) guy with experience in college scouting. He's known as one of the brilliant young minds, and would be a valuable asset. He was in the mix for the Seattle GM position in 2010, and could likely find a job this year, with the Bears and Colts both rumored to be interested in him. According to Sean Jensen, Ross interviews on Friday with the Colts.
The Falcon Duo
Les Snead- Director of Player Personnel, David Caldwell- Director of College Scouting, Atlanta Falcons
I threw these two in at the last minute because it was just reported this morning that they will be in the mix, with the Colts having permission to interview Snead.
Snead is in his 13th year with the Falcons (previously with Jacksonville for three years. His background is more in the pro scouting department, although he's been more involved in day to day and GM type stuff for the last three years as Director of Player Personnel. He is 37 years old and is originally from Indiana.
Caldwell is an ex-Colt, having scouted for them from '98 to '07. He was a Polian transfer, starting in Carolina in '96. Since leaving the Colts, Caldwell has been the Director of College Scouting for the Falcons, and pretty much all of his background is in college scouting. He is in his late 30s and hails from Buffalo, NY.
The Canadian Dark Horse
Jim Popp- General Manager, Montreal Alouettes (Canadian Football League)
Jim Irsay let us in on a little secret last night: Jim Popp is also a candidate for the job in Indy.
Popp is the general manager for the Montreal Alouettes, his 16th season. While Popp has no experience in the NFL, he has been extremely successful in the CFL in the front office. All of his teams have made the playoffs, and his record as GM is unmatched in the last 16 years. Popp also has been an assistant GM and director of personnel. Popp coached in the US at the college level for five years.
In Summary
Expect the Colts to get a younger, low profile signing here. An in-house promotion like Tom Telesco is a definite possibility, whereas a well-known guy like DeCosta is unlikely (now impossible). Irsay has said that he really wants to focus on someone with exceptional talent evaluation skills, which all of these guys have, and all of them coming from historically strong franchises is a factor as well.
No matter what the decision, they're going to have some big decisions to make, and this offseason may make-or-break not only their career, but the next decade of Indianapolis football.

Post London Fashion Week: Sporty Lounging
19th February 2013
I left LFW yesterday, Blog Reader, having attended the Holly Fulton show at ME London and catching up with the lovely Notting Hill Girl and South Molton Street Style. It was so interesting being at London Fashion Week rather than New York this season – London has multiple show venues which seems to bring a unique and exciting energy to the proceedings, yet as a result it doesn't quite feel as polished at the events at the Lincoln Center. There certainly feels like more individuality on the streets however; a greater display of colour and mixing of trends in attendees in contrast to the uniform sleekness of Manhattan (which, I must say, I love the place for!)
After a few days running around London in heels, seeing both new and established designer collections emerge, meeting some of my favourite blogger friends and arranging other catch-ups then stolen over coffee, I find myself with a few days to relax. In between fashion week and moving home for a new job I'm all about lounging. I've even hung up my harnesses for a while, Blog Reader
This is where sporty sweaters and skinny jeans come in, and a cup of Earl Grey at that. Here are more of my blogger off duty favourites:
Reiss Lupo Apricot Neon Trim Jumper, 89 GBP
Ash Wedge Trainers, 185 GBP
Lounge Lover Asymmetric Trouser, 119 GBP
Anything by Zoe Karssen….
Paige Denim boyfriend jeans and
Mango basic tees, from 14.99 GBP
With thanks to William Williams for the photos. 'Normal' fashion blogger service will resume on Thursday!

on January 8, 2013 - 12:28 AM
The Lancaster Town Board on Monday appointed two new members to the board of the town's Industrial Development Agency and one new member to the town Planning Board.
The appointments won unanimous approval, but only after a resident who closely follows the workings of town government objected that the available positions had not been advertised."I'm looking at the selection process and wondering why it isn't open to the public?" said Lee Chowaniec, a regular contributor to the SpeakUp Western New York message board.
Town Board members said they receive applications seeking appointment to various boards throughout the year, and the appointment resolutions are made public three days before the vote.
But Supervisor Dino J. Fudoli said he would like information on upcoming vacancies on the Lancaster IDA, the Planning Board and other entities posted online well in advance of a formal vote.
"I think that's a good suggestion," Fudoli said.
The appointments of the members of the town boards and commissions came at the Town Board's annual organizational meeting. Most of the panels' members were reappointed to their positions, but there was some turnover.
The seven-member IDA board will see two new members, Robert H. Klaczyk and Michael J. LoCicero. Members Frank Fialkiewicz, Steven Hoffman, Alan Kurtzman and E. James Nunan, along with Fudoli, the IDA chairman, were reappointed.
Klaczyk, 48, a food broker and the owner of KB Food Holdings, was appointed to the seat now held by William D. Tate Sr., the board's vice chairman, who recently sold his home in Lancaster and moved to Clarence.
LoCicero, 33, whose father, Nicholas, is the town prosecutor, replaces longtime IDA board member John Visone. LoCicero is an attorney with Tronolone and Surgalla.
Chowaniec asked during the public comment session how the Town Board settled on the replacements for Tate and Visone. Fudoli said he reached out to several people, and others contacted him, before he decided to recommend Klaczyk's appointment. The supervisor, a Republican, said the four Town Board Democrats backed the appointment of LoCicero.
Council members Mark Aquino and Donna G. Stempniak said they want to hear from members of the public who are interested in serving on town boards and committees, and Aquino agreed with Chowaniec that fresh blood is needed from time to time.
For example, Aquino said he encouraged Anthony Gorski to seek a position on the Planning Board because Gorski is an architect and will provide helpful technical expertise. Gorski replaces Steven Socha.
That body also will have a new chairman after Stanley Jay Keysa, the longtime head of the Planning Board and a former town supervisor, said his recent health issues prevent him from serving in that position.
Neil Connelly was appointed chairman, but Keysa will remain a member of the board.
Members of the IDA board receive no compensation. Members of the Planning Board receive $3,221 per year, and the chairman receives $4,122.
