12 Things to Watch in Monday's Colts-Chargers game
Spider three? Why banana?
Last week, the Colts toppled Seattle and vaulted up the ranks in the AFC. This week, Andrew Luck gets his first Monday night test against Phil Rivers and the San Diego Chargers. Here's what to watch for:
1. Watch the pocket. The Colts have faced four running quarterbacks in five games to open the year. The fifth game was against Blaine Gabbert, who really doesn't count as a quarterback at all. He's basically an insurance agent in training. Pryor, Tannehill, Kaepernick and Wilson all make their share of plays with their legs, but only Wilson breaks into the top 10 in passing DVOA for the year. Gabbert just breaks into tears. Rivers is a different animal altogether. He's second in the NFL in DVOA, he's second in QBR and is completing almost 75% of his passes. He ain't Peyton, but he's the perfect warm up. The Colts secondary was cited as a weakness coming into the year but has played well against guys who can't pass. Now they have to play well against someone who can.
2. Watch the new age. For all they hype about the ESPN trailer for Andrew Luck's first game on the world-wide leader, the fact is that it's a new age for the Chargers too. Long the Indy nemesis, most of the great players who tortured the Colts are gone. Even Norv isn't around any more. Other than old man Rivers, Antonio Gates and the robo-punter, the Chargers have almost completely turned over. Colts fans get a little twitchy about playing the Chargers, but this team isn't that team.
3. Watch the unsustainable pace. Robert Mathis isn't going to have 30 sacks this year. I feel confident saying that. Moreover, the Colts next three games come against the six of the best offensive lines at adjusted sack rate. San Diego is second-best in the NFL at preventing sacks (Denver is first and Houston is sixth). To put that in perspective, the Colts have played four of the seven worst lines to date. Sacks are going to be at a premium for the next month or so. Don't be surprised if Mathis finds himself around 10 or 11 sacks come mid-November.
4. Watch for the meme. Chuck Pagano thinks turnovers and rushing yards are the determining factors in who wins a game. The Chargers are 2-0 when out-rushing the opponent and 1-2 when they have fewer turnovers. Indy on the other hand is 2-1 when out rushing the opponent (2-0 when they don't!) and 3-0 when they win the turnover battle. Turnovers matter, but rushing yards don't. It continues to worry me that he deeply believes they do. The Colts are going to pound the ball because they think that's what wins. Oh, for the record, the team with the better YPA is 5-0 this year in Colts games.
5. Watch for the end of the excuses. Regardless of what you think of the Trent Richardson trade, everyone has to agree that four weeks ought to be enough time for a running back to acclimate to an offense. The Colts have one of the best run-blocking lines in football and the Chargers have the worst defensive line. If Richardson can't look good against San Diego, he can't look good. Whether or not he's ever going to be an elite back, he ought to look like one this week. He should be well over 4.5 yards a carry and pushing 100 yards. If not, the warning bells will be sounding on his career.
6. Watch for the implosion. The Chargers have been in every game they've played this season, but are just 2-3 in part because of Phil Rivers' play down the stretch in games. His YPA, completion percentage and interceptions all soar in the fourth quarter this season. That's not because San Diego is playing from behind either. They've had the fourth-quarter lead in four of five games this year. The Colts have only allowed one fourth-quarter touchdown this season, and that was in Week 1. If this game is tight, look for Indy to come back and win.
7. Watch for the package. I'm not one to harp on packages normally, but the Colts have an ugly one. Last week we all saw what a dynamic player T.Y. Hilton can be. He's only in the game about 60% of the time. Darius Heyward-Bey, by comparison, gets on the field 72% of the snaps. Stanley Havili, the full back, has been in for 112 snaps. That's about a third of the time. The numbers don't line perfectly, but the Colts willfully take one of their best players off the field once in each set of downs. I can't begin to explain it.
8. Watch the pest. Danny Woodhead is going to present a challenge for the Colts defense. He's second in receiving DYAR for running backs, up there with ex-Charger and Colt-killer Darren Sproles. The Colts haven't had to defend an excellent receiving back this year. None of the top-15 receiving backs have played Indy. Again, they are getting two of the top three backs in the next two weeks, so strap in.
9. Watch for Spader. It's breast cancer awareness month, so the NFL has gone all Pretty in Pink. Luck comes off as the goofy-nerd everyone likes. Phil Rivers has a heavy dose Steve McKee in him. I can just hear Rivers say things like, "Nobody appreciates your sense of humor." He's about one step removed from playing the entire game with a button-down jersey, just so he can go out there and show off his waxed chest. I'm not really sure who Molly Ringwald is in this analogy, so I'm going go with us. We are all Molly Ringwald. And Andrew Luck has stolen our heart in fine 80s nerd-guy fashion. In a related story, it just occurred to me that I'm old.
10. Watch the secret weapon. Donald Brown doesn't qualify for the DVOA lead because he doesn't have enough carries, but his 65.2% is the best in the game. More impressive perhaps is the fact that he has 59 DYAR, which qualifies him for eighth in the league. That's amazing considering DYAR is a volume stat, and he doesn't get many touches. Obviously, he wouldn't be that successful as an every down back, but as a change-of-pace player, he's insanely valuable. Oh, and his pass blocking grade is better than Richardson's on the year. Just saying.
11. Watch for the deputy. This guy has come in and replaced the sheriff, and you know how much I love this guy. I was talking to this guy and he told me that you never check down to the wideout on Spider 3 Y Banana. Bananas are the best and spiders really got something, but this guy, the deputy I call him, he's come in and he's the Sheriff now. I know that sounds crazy to say because the sheriff is the sheriff, but the deputy, he's the top banana. When I was in Tampa, I wanted my own deputy, but my guy was more Barney Fife than Wyatt Erp. I think he was a marshal. So that's what this guy is. He's The Marshal. Banana, Mike. Ba-nana.
12. Watch for the roll. I don't buy the Colts defense even a little bit, but I'm all in on Luck. I think the games are slowing down for him at just the right time. Andy wins another shootout. Colts 30, Chargers 24.

WINDSOR — A Fort Collins man featured last week on Larimer County's Most Wanted list was arrested at a Windsor hotel on Thursday.
According to a news release from the Larimer County Sheriff's Office, deputies arrested Marc Robert Whitaker, 36, on multiple felony warrants at about 8:20 a.m.
The LCSO news release said Whitaker had nine felony warrants for his arrest including one for escape, as well as numerous others for failure to comply with previous court orders.
The arrest was made without incident, although Whitaker did possess a hunting knife when arrested. The news release said two suspicious devices were reported to be in the vehicle recovered along with Whitaker. The Northern Colorado Bomb Squad was called to remove the devices and did so without issues.
Whitaker is being held at the Larimer County Jail without bond.

My mother had a small head. I know that because Im wearing her floppy sun hat. Im wearing her floppy sun hat because she left it to me when she died on April 25.
How strange it is to write, My mother is dead.
By the way, she preferred Mother to Mom. Sara was acceptable also, but none of us can remember saying Mama. I called her that in a few columns, and she was not amused. Just one of her quirks, and she had many.
She was a cradle Episcopalian who won dance contests and loved a cocktail, so naturally she married a foot-washing Baptist who, as far as I know, never saw a dance floor. It wasnt quite a fairy-tale union, but they were married to the day he died.
My mother was gentle and abrupt, kind and sharp-tongued. We loved each other fiercely, but she drove me crazy and vice-versa. She was strong-willed, and I am stubborn. If one of us got miffed wed stop speaking, sometimes for weeks. Then I would call, or she would call, and whatever had sparked our argument was never discussed. Life went on.
She was very feminine, with beautiful manners. She taught me how to set a formal dinner table, kill a fish with a Coke bottle and catch crabs with chicken necks and string. She was a passionate gardener (hence the sun hat) and the funniest person Ive ever met.
Heres the best thing about her: She pushed me to be the best I could be. Average was not accepted.
There was no question of my parents funding college for four kids. But education was everything to her, and she counseled each of us in turn: Youre going to study hard and get scholarships and grants. If you fail to do this, I will beat you savagely with a baseball bat, or words to that effect. She deciphered complex financial aid packages and filled out paperwork until her eyes crossed. And somehow, all four of us graduated from college without debt. Thats what I mean about her strong will.
Another example: Many years ago, a neighbors shed caught on fire. Mother was setting the table for dinner when she saw the flames spread towards our property, threatening our vegetable plot and my ponys stable.
As Dad hurried to hook up a garden hose, Mother barreled out the back door, wrenched a pine sapling from the earth and began to beat the flames. Lets look at that again: She PULLED UP A TREE and charged the fire.
Moments later the volunteer fire department arrived to snuff the blaze. The squad captain walked up to Dad and said, Sir, weve got it now. Could you ask your wife to put down the tree?
Thats still a favorite story at family reunions: Could you ask your wife to put down the tree?
Sara lived for 85 years. I was blessed to be there at the end, one day after she was admitted to Hospice. Morphine blotted out her pain. She lay unconscious as I stroked her hair and described the blooming dogwoods that shaded the courtyard outside.
My sister Moonbeam called from Oregon and sang In the Garden over the phone. My brother Bubba, her firstborn, sat stunned and silent.
My other brother, T-Bob, was 10 hours and two states away. With the phone nestled to her ear he sangor tried to sing Jesus loves me, this I know His strangled voice broke my heart.
That night only Widdle was there as I held my mothers hand. At 9:41 p.m. she went to meet her God, and none of us will ever be the same.
I love you, Mother. Set a place for me.

The percentage of Charleston County rising freshmen who are reading at a fourth-grade level or worse has dropped to a five-year low of 12.1 percent.
Over the years
The Charleston County School District has been tracking the percentage of rising freshmen reading at a fourth-grade level or worse since 2009.
Number of rising freshmen Percentage reading at fourth-grade level or worse
2009 2,623 18.1
2010 2,444 14
2011 2,576 12.9
2012 2,805 13.1
2013 2,870 12.1
Source: Charleston County School District
That means nearly one in eight entering freshmen can't read better than a fourth-grader this fall, compared with nearly one in five in 2009. The district began calculating the percentage in response to a request from The Post and Courier.
"I absolutely think it's an important number to track because this is something that is an indicator of high school readiness," said School Superintendent Nancy McGinley. "If students are reading at such a low level when they're entering ninth grade, they're going to struggle in every single subject and possibly drop out. This is very, very critical to us to continue to track, and I am encouraged by the progress we are making but committed to making even more progress."
District progress
The newspaper's stories in 2009 revealed that nearly 20 percent of the county's incoming ninth-graders were reading at a fourth-grade level or worse. The school board made literacy its No. 1 priority less than a year later, and the district will spend $7.5 million this year on programs to help struggling readers.
With the exception of last year, the percentage of rising freshmen reading on a fourth-grade level or lower has decreased each year since 2009. The percentage fluctuated up .2 percentage points last year to 13.1 before falling again this year.
Board policy requires the district to have a plan to address weak students' reading, so McGinley created literacy academies for primary and middle grades.
She attributed some of the district's progress to those efforts being more effective in middle school. The district expanded its efforts in the middle grades from serving only struggling sixth-graders to working with poor readers in sixth through eighth grades. Students who needed extra help had a separate class dedicated to reading.
She expects to see more gains after this coming school year because of those changes, as well as a new mandate that all middle school teachers be certified.
McGinley said that while nothing is more important than literacy, math needs to be more of an emphasis this school year.
"Everyone in the district knows what our focus is," she said. "Now the challenge is to talk about math literacy. We can't just ride the literacy horse and ignore math. We have to really send that message in a much more deliberate way than we have."
The numbers
School board member Chris Fraser, one of the two remaining board members who voted to make literacy the district's top priority, pointed out that the district's number of incoming freshmen has risen during the past five years.
So although the percentage of students reading at low levels has dropped significantly, the district still has quite a few students who haven't improved, he said. Those figures also don't take into account students reading at a fifth-, sixth- or seventh-grade level, he said. The Post and Courier has asked for those figures in the past but not received them.
"We're making progress, but we're nowhere close where we need to be," he said. "It's hard to take this information and make any statement about how much better we are."
The district has to balance its resources and put the most effort where it can see the biggest return, and he said he's looking forward to seeing the results from elementary students who benefited from the district's literacy academies.
"Our efforts have been bigger in the earlier grades, and we won't see the impact until those grades matriculate," he said.
Of the 12.1 percent of this fall's freshmen reading at or below a fourth-grade level, nearly half are either English language learners or special needs students. Those students need additional help and might take longer than their peers to read on grade level, McGinley said.
Some schools that saw upticks in the percentage of students reading on an elementary level, such as Stall High and St. John's High, also have increasing percentages of students who don't speak English as their first language.
"Those are examples of areas where we need more expertise in getting our non-English speakers to become fluent in English, but that's an additional resource that we have to keep expanding and something that did not exist years ago," she said.
Another issue for schools is student mobility, or students who start the school year at one school, then bounce to multiple sites. No matter how bright and capable students are, they will face challenges if they're moved into and out of schools, McGinley said.
"We're trying to get at the root cause of these things," she said.
Making gains
The school that saw the biggest percentage-point improvement from last year was Lincoln High. Nearly 47 percent of its rising freshmen last year read at or below a fourth-grade level, and that fell to 22.2 percent this year. The school also saw improvement in every subject on its middle school students' PASS scores.
"It's been an uphill battle, and I'm just so excited," said Principal Yvonne Commodore. "We're working hard out here. We're working tremendously hard."
Commodore said last year its percentage of freshmen reading at elementary levels was alarming, and she recognized middle school was an area needing work. She moved her office to the middle school hallway, and teachers volunteered to work six Saturdays before the state's PASS tests to help students prepare.
Her staff collaborated with St. James-Santee Elementary teachers, and they set high expectations. Middle school students had a new, 45-minute advisory period each week during which they received extra help.
"We can't control what they do outside the building, so let's focus on what we can do inside," she said.
Although she's proud of the improvement, she said she's not satisfied, and she plans to continue and add on to last year's efforts.
"I never want us to be comfortable," she said.

It was a rough Halloween for Kanye West.
On the same day that he sued a YouTube co-founder over a leaked video of his marriage proposal to Kim Kardashian, the musician's Yeezus Tour suffered a heavy blow after a truck carrying crucial equipment crashed and damaged the gear beyond repair.
On Friday, West's record label said the tour would be postponed until the gear can be fixed, meaning at least three concerts will have to be rescheduled.
"Yesterday, on the road to Vancouver, a truck carrying The Yeezus Tour's custom-made video truss and 60-ft circular LED screen was in an accident that damaged the gear beyond repair," a rep for Island Def Jam Music Group said in a statement.
"This gear is central to the staging of The Yeezus Tour, and central to the creative vision put forth by Kanye West and his design team at DONDA. As a result of this event, it is impossible to put on the show and The Yeezus Tour will be postponed until these essential pieces can be reengineered and refabricated."
The rep added that "will not compromise on bringing the show, as it was originally envisioned and designed, to his fans."
Concerts in Vancouver, Denver and Minneapolis will be postponed, and an announcement on future concerts is expected soon.

Lycoming defense facing toughest challenge in Stevenson's K.K. Smith
November 2, 2012 - Mitch Rupert
By MITCH RUPERT
Talk about your broken records. The conversation about Lycoming's defense week after week has revolved around how it will handle its next challenge of an opponent's potent running game.
And generally, after the game clock is full of zeroes, the defense is left to explain how it shut down yet another of the Middle Atlantic Conference's top running games. It's like walking through a revolving door and never stepping out. Nothing you see is new and nothing is surprising.
Enter Stevenson's K.K. Smith. He's the newest version of a challenge for the Lycoming defense. And unlike other runners the Warriors have bottled up this year, there's no doubting the ability of the Mustangs' sophomore tailback.
His success isn't the product of a small sample size the way it may have been when King's Kyle McGrath entered his matchup with Lycoming as the MAC's second-leading rusher back in Week 5. Smith has proven himself against the toughest of teams in the MAC this year. His lowest yardage output was the 90 yards he put up against King's last week. But consider, his 14 carries a week ago were a season low.
"This guy's done it for eight weeks and everybody knows he's clearly their best option. Yet, he has the highest per-game average in the conference and they've played Widener, they've played Del Val, they've played Lebanon Valley and they played Albright," Lycoming head coach Mike Clark said. "The best teams in our league have played him and his numbers are still really, really good. It's not like he ran for 500 yards against Misericordia. He's pretty consistent. He obviously is very, very talented. He has great speed and vision and sees some things that the average kid doesn't. He's pretty good."
But just how good? The numbers speak for themselves, especially when you consider who he's played against. Smith is the only back in the MAC to have eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark this season. He's one of two running backs in the league - McGrath being the other - who is averaging at least 100 yards rushing per game. He has the highest per-carry average (5.6 yards) of anybody in the MAC with at least 100 carries.
Just to top it all off, his 130-yard per-game average is not only tops in the MAC, it's also 12th-best in the country. Convinced he's someone to be concerned about yet?
"He's very fast and he's very agile. He's also thick and has a lot of power. We have to be able to wrap up against this guy," said Lycoming defensive end Nate Oropollo who leads the MAC in both sacks and tackles for loss. "We have to get him into close spaces and make the tackle first. If you look at the King's and Lebanon Valley kids, they're more of downhill power backs. This kid is both. He can go downhill and he can go side-to-side and make you miss, and then he can just run you over. Watching film I've seen him do it a couple times with some pretty legit linebackers."
The numbers for Smith are clearly enough of a reason to cause concern. But they're not empty stats, either. He hasn't built up his numbers late in ballgames as a Stevenson team with just one win this year competes against other teams' backups.
The Mustangs have lost three games this year by three points or less. That includes an overtime loss at Albright, a three-point loss to Lebanon Valley, and a three-point loss to Wilkes two weeks ago on a last-second field goal by Williamsport graduate Jordan Fredo.
Smith's statistical splits this year have been quite even. He's averaging 35.875 rushing yards in the first quarter, 30.25 yards in the second quarter, 39.25 yards in the third quarter, and 24.625 yards in the fourth quarter. His numbers clearly have no been inflated by garbage time carries.
He's been held to single digits rushing in a quarter just five times this year, and three of those have come in the fourth quarter.
"He's different. He's fast north and south, and east and west. He cuts back. He makes you miss," Lycoming defensive tackle Dwight Hentz said. "He's on a different level from some of the other guys we've faced before."
This is a Lycoming defense, though, that has met and conquered almost every running game challenge it's faced in the MAC this year. It's a defensive unit that has held four of its seven MAC opponents to their lowest rushing output of the season. And of the three who didn't have their lowest output, one was its second-lowest by 3 yards, one was its third-lowest by 21 yards, and one was its third-lowest by 31 yards.
As much of a reputation as Smith has built as maybe the top running back in the conference, Lycoming has distinguished itself as the stingiest run defense. A Wilkes team averaging 260 rushing yards per game gained just 131 against the Warriors a week ago. Albright was held to just 40 yards total rushing, and King's had just 36 rushing yards.
"I look forward to facing teams that have a good running game, we all do," Hentz said. "We really like to go out there and show what we can do. Yeah, we're good at getting to the quarterback in the pass, but I think we're even better at stopping the run."
Making teams one-dimensional is always the goal of a Steve Wiser coached defense. And if the Warriors can force teams into obvious passing situations where you have to face a bull-rush of a defensive front while throwing into a ball-hawking secondary which is tied for the league lead with 14 interceptions, then Lycoming and Wiser will likely be happy with the outcome.
This is a Lycoming defense which is allowing just 101 rushing yards per game, good enough for 32nd-best in the country. Take away a 179-yard effort from Brockport State in Week 1 and that average drops to just over 89 yards per game and the 20th-best rushing defense in the country. Those numbers aren't far off from a defense a year ago which held opponents to just 84 rushing yards per game which was good enough for eighth-best in the country.
The Warriors consistently get it done against the run by moving the line of scrimmage. Wiser calls it getting to the pillar, and that pillar is about 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage. They try to get offensive linemen who can handle the speed of the Warriors' quick front off their base.
Lycoming is second in the MAC with 63 tackles for loss this season. It's also one of just two teams (Widener being the other) to have accumulated more than 200 yards of lost yardage with those tackles for loss.
That penetration starts with Hentz and Roger Jayne in the middle, and more recently sophomore Jimmy Nottingham has played a big role in the middle of the Warriors' defensive line. Oropollo's 15 tackles for loss lead the MAC, but Hentz is second on the team with 10 tackles for loss.
"I think that's the difference for us defensively. Roger and Dwight, those guys are really good and you can't double team everybody," Clark said. "Part of the problem opponents have with our D-line is the kid in the middle (middle linebacker Kabongo Bukasa) is to the ball in a hurry, too. You can't not block him. But that's less time you can spend on the down guy."
"They're a force to be reckoned with," Oropollo said. "They're not big boys, but they play big. It all starts in the middle because if you blow up the middle, then the whole play itself is blown up. Those two and Jimmy don't get enough credit for what they do."
It's not the recognition they're after though, it's the challenge. And today might be the biggest challenge they've faced.

When a Girl is about to fart whilst a man is performing Oral sex, the man quickly puts his mouth up to her balloon knot, Catches the Flatulence within his mouth, and blows it back into her, all while maintaining a perfect seal against the anus. As he is pulling his lips away, the leftover saliva from his mouth ends up creating a liquid barrier, which the re-inserted gas presses against and maintains perfect surface tension to produce a bubble. The man then winks, and then pops the bubble cheekily. Also called a Ms. or Mrs. Bubbles depending on Gender of the cunnilingus performer, and marital status.

WAILUKU - Bulla Tuzon has been where Reggie Lo hopes to arrive.
Tuzon is back on Maui as an assistant coach for the Baldwin High School wrestling program and Lo is one of the wrestlers benefiting from the former state champion and three-time NAIA All-American's tutelage.
"It's awesome to be back: Wrestling kind of changed my life, it kept me on a straight path, away from all the trouble I grew up around," said Tuzon, the 2005 160-pound state champion for the Bears who graduated from now-defunct Dana College in Nebraska in 2009. "Giving back to these kids means more than anything to me. Since I have been an athlete, I always wanted to come back and coach and give back to the program and try and maybe turn these kids' lives around, keep them on the right track."

Bulla Tuzon
Lo is a combined 19-3 at 114 and 120 pounds this season, one year after he qualified for the state tournament. Before that, he sat out a season and a half - a forearm broken for the fourth time in his life ended his freshman season, and shoulder surgery kept him off the mat as a sophomore.
He has three pins in his shoulder and a metal plate in his forearm. The list of all the state medalists in school history adorn the Baldwin wrestling room wall, including Tuzon who would go on to be a college conference wrestler of the year in 2008.
"I want to leave with a bang," said Lo, who also runs track and cross country for the Bears. "No regrets, just make it to states and try to get my name up on that wall."

Lo has a vice grip on academics - he has a 3.89 cumulative grade-point average and hasn't had a B since his freshman year - and now he wants to finish strong on the mats before he goes to the University of Oregon to study business.
"Reggie Lo, he's a good wrestler all-around, academically and in the wrestling room," Tuzon said. "At the beginning, he kind of had a rocky start, but he adapted, he got better, he listens to coaches, he stays after practice. He is one of those guys that coaches want to see in a wrestler - he's all those good qualities. He does everything we ask and hard work pays off."
Asked about the injury issues Lo has overcome, Tuzon shook his head.
"Coming back from an injury in wrestling is tough because you use your whole body, so coming back like he did really shows his character and the person he is," Tuzon said.
Lo said Tuzon still carries a large presence in the wrestling room.
"He helps out a lot, he stays after practice if we need help," Lo said. "He helps with our conditioning and helps run practice sometimes. Overall, I feel like I have gotten much better because he's here, too."
After a fourth-place league finish last season at 114, Lo has one thing on his mind this year at 120.
"Yeah, no doubt, MIL champ," he said.
Lo, who was 4-0 with three pins on Saturday, said his main competition in the 120-pound weight class is Jansen Panlasigui of seven-time defending MIL champion Lahainaluna.
"I actually kind of wanted to wrestle him, test things," Lo said. "I wrestled him earlier in the season and got the 'W.' The Lunas always get better, so I have to train harder."
The Lunas did not attend Saturday's dual-meet tournament at Baldwin gym because of an administrative decision that was reached after an incident at the tourney in Hana last week, which MIL officials said they could not elaborate on.
League officials also said the Lunas did not practice last week until Friday.
"Everybody knows the Lunas will be ready for the MIL championships," Lo said.

Emma Stone paid a visit to The Tonight Show Monday, and she came prepared. That is to say, she came prepared to rap Ludacris's hyper-fast part on DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win." By the end of her performance, the title certainly seemed apt.
Fallon called it the "the best one [lip-synching performance] that's ever been done on the show ever," and we're inclined to agree.
It's unlikely Stone's current big-screen appearance (as Gwen Stacy, alongside longtime boyfriend Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker, in The Amazing Spider-Man 2) will involve much rapping, but directors looking to cast Stone in the future should definitely be taking notes.
Watch Stone's full performance below. Stone's Luda verse starts at 6:22 – check out Fallon's dumbfounded expression once she launches into the part.

The Coombs test looks for antibodies that may stick to your red blood cells and cause red blood cells to die too early.
Direct antiglobulin test; Indirect antiglobulin test
A blood sample is needed.
No special preparation is necessary for this test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or slight bruising. This soon goes away.
There are two types of the Coombs test:
The direct Coombs test is used to detect antibodies that are stuck to the surface of red blood cells. Many diseases and drugs can cause this. These antibodies sometimes destroy red blood cells and cause anemia. Your doctor may order this test if you have signs or symptoms of anemia or jaundice.
The indirect Coombs test looks for free-flowing antibodies against certain red blood cells. It is is most often done to determine if you may have a reaction to a blood transfusion.
A normal result means there was no clumping of cells (agglutination). This means you have no antibodies to red blood cells.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
An abnormal (positive) direct Coombs test means you have antibodies that act against your red blood cells. This may be due to:
The test may also be abnormal without any clear cause, especially among the elderly.
An abnormal (positive) indirect Coombs test means you have antibodies that will act against red blood cells your body views as foreign. This may suggest:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

There's a new sheriff in the quick-service restaurant business, and he wields some mighty tasty chicken fingers.
Baton Rouge-based Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers has earned the distinction of No. 1 Quick Service Restaurant Chain in the nation for 2012, according to the authoritative Sandelman & Associates Quick-Track study. In addition to scoring top overall honors, Cane's earned six additional first-place awards.
"I couldn't be more proud of our crewmembers for the incredible work they have done for so many years to earn us this amazing recognition," said Ian Vaughn, Raising Cane's chief operating officer, fry cook and cashier. "What's even more rewarding is knowing that this recognition is coming from our customers. We will continue to strive hard every day to exceed their expectations, just as they deserve."
Known for its "One Love" – quality chicken finger meals – Raising Cane's is one of the nation's fastest-growing restaurants. It is widely recognized as an industry leader in customer service and is distinguished by its generous support of the communities it serves.
For the past 25 years, Sandelman & Associates has released its much-anticipated Quick-Track Awards of Excellence, honoring the top-ranked restaurant chains in several different categories. The 2012 awards are based on surveys of more than 110,000 quick-service restaurant customers covering 1.4 million fast-food visits inover 90 U.S. media markets. Consumers are asked to provide feedback on 16 attributes of their dining experience.
This year, Raising Cane's was rated the No. 1 Quick Service Restaurant Chain in the country. In addition, Raising Cane's racked up the following awards in the chicken chain category:
No,1 Overall Rating
No,1 Taste or Flavor of Food
No.1 Quality of Ingredients
No.1 Temperature of Food
No.1 Accuracy in Filling Orders
No.1 Convenience of Locations
According to the study, in 2012 fully 63 percent of Raising Cane's customers rated their most recent visit "excellent" overall (rating of "5" on a 5-point scale).
"Our culture is built on the philosophy of working hard while having fun," said Vaughn. "We take pride in serving our communities while delivering a great experience for our customers. This means serving a premium, consistent product. Our team is honored to see our hard work recognized by our valued customers."

iPhone 5 lock button breaking after few weeks of usage, some users report
0. phoneArena 12 Nov 2012, 04:44 posted on
Before we begin, we have to admit that the iPhone 5 physical buttons are nothing short of excellent. However, that statement is only valid when they work, and for a number of owners, that does not happen to be the case. Multiple iPhone 5 users are reporting that their smartphone's lock key becomes unresponsive after a few weeks of usage, rendering their shiny handset virtually unusable...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Yeah my 3rd gen iPhone is broken that lock button and fixed, but just a few weeks? What a let down Apple :(

I'm not an official Apple spokesperson, but I already know the unofficial response from Apple... "You're pushing the lock button wrong".

Apple never ceases to amaze me....with its extraordinary and revolutionary flaws which dont even appear on basic feature phones!

I'm an unofficial so-called genius at apple..
and I say: "It's a feature.."

Meh. Hardware failures happen. Even Android phones have hardware failures. My first RAZR had a bad LTE radio (it wouldn't connect to LTE right in the VZW store). A new RAZR 15 minutes later and I am walking out of the store enjoying the hauling-ass LTE data speed.
A year-ish ago, Apple had problems with light eakage on some of their displays. Owners would get a brand spanking new replacement. When new orders were having to wait 3 weeks for delivery.
The bigger story would have been if Apple had refused to replace the failed phones. They aren't, so this is much ado about nothing.
18. wendygarett (unregistered)
Well I hope you still satisfy yours, I also has some android devices recently so far no problem yet :) same goes to my new iPhone 5 from my parents lol
21. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
No further failures for my RAZR. Just waiting for the VZW Note II. Zzzz.
22. amozhi (Posts: 130; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)
So you are admitting that Apple devices are not anymore shiny niche device. Right ah?
24. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Not quite sure what you are asking. I never said the iP toys were shiny or niche. I was commenting about how hardware failures were handled.
33. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
iDisagree completely. So far this year I have had a RAZR, DROID CHARGE, REZOUND and RAZR MAXX and none of my Lock Buttons have or Hardware have been iDefective. Even that Single-Core DROID DISCHARGE didn't iMplode like an iPhone.
iToo, am waiting on my G-Note II; November 29th can't come any sooner.
35. dsmboost (Posts: 46; Member since: 01 Nov 2011)
Not every single phone will have hardware problems..You just happened to be one of the many that don't have a faulty unit. Hardware failures happen on all electronic devices, I don't care what brand it is. I'm a happy android user, and even I will admit our phones come with their share of problems occasionally. And all these "ijokes" are seriously getting lame.
42. akishakoi (Posts: 65; Member since: 06 Dec 2011)
have you tried nokia phones? they just won't break, and I don't know if we can call that a feature? Lols
39. metalpoet (unregistered)
light leakage, unusaully easy to scratch, touchscreen unresponsive for gaming, and phones coming out of the box already scratched. Now the lock button is breaking. and couple this witt Foxconn employees complaining that the phone is too hard to make and meet up with demands, makes me wonder why so many people want this particular model. why not settle for an iPhone 4S, they are basically the same phone excluding the 4G LTE and slightly bigger screen. I sell more iPhone 4S's and iPhone 4's now than i ever did before the iPhone 5.

Who wanna make a guess on what next issue will be? :)
- Software - Apple Maps
- Cracks
- Screen
- Camera
- Button
- Mine guess is: battery combusion and iphone 5 explode to millions of pieces? :)

The iPhone 5 has too many flaws..hardware flaws are painful..
23. angelesmec (unregistered)
You are just using your iPhone 5 wrong.
1. The physical button is just a design but not meant to be used..just stick with the on-screen button and you will be fine.
2. Apple maps is accurate you are just not paying attention to instructions.
3. The scratches and dents out of the box is an Abstract design and there is nothing wrong with that.
4. The static lines on the keyboard are normal it is an Abstract design and there is nothing wrong with that.
5. The purple tint on the photos taken on the camera are normal we just added an Instagram-like effect you are just thinking of it the wrong way.

34. kach22 (Posts: 153; Member since: 04 Nov 2011)
Giving it a rating of 9 out of 10 is the worst review I have ever seen in Phone arena.
Any single one of the flaws (that IP5 has shown so far) in an high end android device would decrease it's rating below to 9.
IP5 is becoming the most over rated and over hyped device with a lot of fake positive reviews by the reviewers.

So much for "Premium quality" and "It just works".
44. drizzo311 (Posts: 3; Member since: 04 Mar 2011)
I pre-ordered and received the iPhone 5 on the first day. This is my first iPhone, so I was looking forward to moving past the glitchy days of Android products. Regardless of my opinion of the archaic IOS UI, I was hopeful that the superior hardware would overcome that drawback.
Much to my surprise, 11 days after receiving the iPhone, I started to have major issues with the Home button randomly being depressed and Siri activating in often embarrassing situations. You can silence your phone, but never Siri. Even disabling Siri would prompt the 'dumb' voice control program to launch, prompting me to understand that it was a hardware and not software issue.
Over the next 4 days, the functionality devolved rapidly. As I searched for quick fixes on the internet, and prayed that an update would resolve the issue, a 'possessed' Siri incessantly haunted me. Everyone knows that simultaneously depressing the Home and Lock buttons take a screenshot. Well I had almost a Gigabyte of screenshots in four days...if that helps make you understand my frustration. I needed my phone for work, so turning it off wasn't an option.
It turns out that my Home button was defective, and I needed a replacement phone. After haggling with Verizon (who tried to give me a refurbished phone b/c I was outside of the 14 days window... by one day) and Apple (who were awesome, but tried to charge me $40 to overnight it), I finally got my NEW new iPhone, and have had no issues with it, since.
Here's hoping...
47. hiBreed (Posts: 90; Member since: 29 May 2012)
We can only hope, but when it facks up again, you should think of craigslist=iP5 new=L920 or new=htc one or also new=xperia z

MIne had exactly the same problem!what should i do about it?
48. hiBreed (Posts: 90; Member since: 29 May 2012)
Simple, if u have a trash can at home, that would be a perfect place to keep your iPhone 5 and decide on a lumia or droid
46. starl1fe (Posts: 1; Member since: 22 Jan 2013)
I have a Verizon iPhone 5 with this issue. A few days ago I noticed the button was giving a bit of problems and it gradually lost all its functionality. I can no longer lock nor power down my iPhone 5. What should I do to correct this?
49. hiBreed (Posts: 90; Member since: 29 May 2012)
Easy peasy; just trade it with a nokia lumia 920

How can I regulate the suction with the sera gravel washer?
I purchased the sera gravel washer. However, I do not quite understand how I am supposed to use it. Every time I want to clean the gravel, quite a lot of water gets into the bucket so I have to empty the bucket rather frequently before I can continue cleaning the gravel. A 10 liter bucket fills within 25 seconds. Please tell me how to use it correctly.
you can regulate the water flow and, correspondingly, the suction by simply covering the free end of the hose partially with your thumb.
Best regards

Menus Menu Item Manager
From Joomla! Documentation
The Menu Item Manager lists the menu items contained in a menu created using the Menu Manager.
How to access
Select Menus → [name of the menu] from the drop-down menu on the back-end of your Joomla! installation. For example, if a Menu is called "Main Menu", select Menus → Main Menu. Or you can navigate to the Menu Manager and click on the icon in the Menu Items column.
Column Headers
- Ordering: Up-Down Arrows User specified ordering, default is order of item creation. When active, drag and drop ordering by 'click and hold' on the bars icon then 'release' in desired position.
- Checkbox: Check this box to select one or more items. To select all items, check the box in the column heading. After one or more boxes are checked, click a toolbar button to take an action on the selected item or items. Many toolbar actions, such as Publish and Unpublish, can work with multiple items. Others, such as Edit, only work on one item at a time. If multiple items are checked and you press Edit, the first item will be opened for editing.
- Title. The name of the item. For a Menu Item, the Title will display in the Menu. For an Article or Category, the Title may optionally be displayed on the web page. This entry is required. You can open the item for editing by clicking on the Title.

- Language. Item language.
- ID. This is a unique identification number for this item assigned automatically by Joomla!. It is used to identify the item internally, and you cannot change this number. When creating a new item, this field displays 0 until you save the new entry, at which point a new ID is assigned to it.
At the top left you will see the toolbar:
The functions are:
- New. Opens the editing screen to create a new menu item.

I've seen reading some stuff off of MFK about Fahakas from certain regions of the world being smaller at max size. I'm not sure if my guy is from that region or not.
In December 2011, my puff was 2". Today he measures slightly longer than 4". Its been five months, but he has only grown 2 inches. I treated for IPs twice (each lasting about a week). During treatment, he didn't really eat too much of the medicated food (take one bite of the medicated food) and had stringy poop.
Currently, his poop is no longer stringy (none that I've seen so far), but solids. I feed worms, snails, and raw shrimp (vitachem). I feed until the tummy is slightly rounded once per day, 6 days per week. Before each meal, I see his body being slender, but not really sunken. Recently after a day of fasting, his tummy did look slightly sunken. I notice if he eats too much, there would be areas on his tummy that bulges out.
Is this normal for a 4" Fahaka? Here is a video of me showing you what happens when I overfeed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZvePRWg ... ature=plcp

Frontier Day rises again at Abilene State Park
ABILENE, TX - Local residents celebrated a unique part of Texas history at Abilene State Park on Saturday.
The once popular Frontier Day was brought back to life Saturday afternoon. The event celebrated the 19th Century customs of rugged Texas. It featured booth displays with artifacts from that era and demonstrations that highlighted daily life in that period.
Actors were on hand to revive the daily routines of the 1800s.
"Our heritage. Yeah, without, without our past, we don't have a present or a future. So we have to celebrate the past and that's what we're here doing today," actor Jerry Perkins said.
Participants were actively engaged in hunting and archery.

With the NHL trade deadline today at 3 p.m., the Wings are hoping to add a goal-scorer and a solid defenseman in what could be busy day throughout the NHL.
"There will be some moves," general manager Ken Holland said. "I hear enough rumors, and talking to enough people, there will be moves."
The Wings expect to participate.
*edit* Now that I read it again, I think I took what he said out of context. I believe he meant there will be moves all around the NHL, not with the Wings in particular. Lame.....got me excited for a second. Still, interesting read.

A wholesale network-sharing model based on cooperation with a third party could unlock added value for operators, stimulating competition and overall market growth. A well-established business model in the telecom industry, network sharing has existed in various forms since the 1980s. Many operators reap significant rewards from including some form of network sharing in their business model, which may involve roaming or site sharing, and may even go as far as the sharing of radio assets and the core network. The wholesale network-sharing model is likely to play an important role as the pressure on margins in the telecom industry continues to mount, and new ways to counter spectrum limitations are needed. Wholesale network sharing has the potential to unlock additional value for all parties involved and improve the sustainability of the telecom industry. Some special considerations need to be addressed as the wholesale model evolves. To unlock the additional value, industry players need to work together, with each player making a contribution based on its key capabilities.

Paige Ricketts connected on a pair of free throws with 7:07 remaining in regulation, knotting Heidelberg with No. 9 Ohio Northern, 59-59.
The Student Princes, who had trailed by as many as 11 early in the second half, suddenly were closing in on a major upset.
And then the Polar Bears (13-1, 7-0 Ohio Athletic Conference) showed why they are the No. 9 team in the nation.
They scored six straight points off of free throws and forced Heidelberg into turnovers on four consecutive possessions. When Ohio Northern's Katie Mengos stole the ball from Ricketts and Kenzie Yoder converted it into a layup, it capped a 10-0 Polar Bears run, which led to a 76-65 ONU win.
After tying the game on Ricketts' free throws, Heidelberg was outscored 17-6 the rest of the game.
"I don't think their press hurt us, per se," Heidelberg coach Marcie Alberts said. "It was more us not attacking it the right way. We go against it every day in practice."
Fact Box
No. 9 Ohio Northern, 76, Heidelberg 65
Ohio Northern (13-1. 7-0): Taylor Hermiller 1-0-2; Katie Mengos 1-2-4; Joanna Snyder 7-0-15; Morgan Dumbaugh 4-5-15; Cenzie Yoder 1-0-3; Sara Kocian 1-0-3; Katie Jones 1-0-2; Marissa Clark 1-0-3; Brooke Espenschied 4-2-11; Jordan Kimes 2-0-4. Totals: 29-13-76.
Heidelberg (5-9, 1-6): Jordan Ickes 2-0-4; Emily Giel 4-0-11; Paige Ricketts 2-4-9; Kathleen Phillips 6-7-19; Megan Miller 4-0-11; Allie Hawkins 0-0-0; Kyra Dorney 0-0-0; Jackie Abrecht 0-0-0; Erin Pacholski 2-3-8; Erin Sims 1-1-3. Totals:21-15-65 .
Halftime: Ohio Northern 38-30.
Field goals: Ohio Northern 29-58; Heidelberg 21-49.
3-point goals: Ohio Northern 5-13 (Dumbaugh 1-3, Snyder 1-1, Kocian 1-1, Clark 1-1, Espenschied 1-1, Mengos 0-3, Hermiller 0-2, Kimes 0-1); Heidelberg 8-20 (Miller 3-5, Giel 3-6, Ricketts 1-4, Pacholski 1-1, Sims 0-1, Abrecht 0-1, Phillips 0-2).
Foul shots: Ohio Northern 13-15; Heidelberg 15-23.
Rebounds: Ohio Northern 34 (Yoder 9, Snyder 6); Heidelberg 25 (Miller 7).
Turnovers: Ohio Northern 11; Heidelberg 17.
Assists: Ohio Northern 16 (Snyder 4); Heidelberg 10.
Ohio Northern (13-1, 7-0) shot 14 of 25 from the floor in the second half, but Ohio Northern coach Michele Durand said it was the defensive pressure that changed things.
"I think the press made the difference in the second half," Durand said. "It, for whatever reason, helped us. Maybe they weren't expecting it, I'm not sure, but I'm glad it did [help us]."
Cenzie Yoder led the Polar Bears with 18 points and nine rebounds. But she also had a huge night defensively, with four steals and a block.
"I thought Northern did a good job of getting it to Yoder," Alberts said. "Yoder's the key. She's a stud inside. We let her be a stud inside, and we can't do that. We've got to be more intelligent than that, and hopefully we'll learn from it. There's no better post than her in our conference."
ONU's Joanna Snyder also had a solid game up front, going for 15 points and six rebounds.
The Polar Bears outboarded the Student Princes 34-25, and had four players score in double figures. Morgan Dumbaugh had 14 points, while Polar Bear teammate Brooke Espenschied had 11 of the bench.
Meanwhile, Heidelberg was led by Kathleen Phillips, who had 19 points, and scored HU's first eight of the game. She's now 19 away from reaching 1,000 points for her career.
Heidelberg (5-9, 1-6) had two other players score in double figures, including Columbian graduate Megan Miller, who had 11 points and a team-best seven rebounds. Emily Giel hit three 3-pointers and also scored 11 points.
Alberts said she wants her team to have a positive attitude, even after the loss.
"I think too many times we're negative with ourselves," Alberts said. "'We can't make a free throw, we can't box out, we can't do this.' Well, if you keep telling yourself that then you won't be able to do it. So, we've got to change how we talk to ourselves a little bit, and I think that would help. I think down the stretch we got too negative."

Charges are pending after a car hit a church foundation in the Allegany County Town of Hume, according to state police.

Some people in Newton Falls think I am against the police. I am not. They are doing a good job.
Our police chief has to accept the fact that our town is not as big as the town he lives in. If the police levy would have passed, it would cost about $80. I know some people in town where $80 means food for a month.
The city must have come up with some money, because it is business as usual with the police department. Now we have more drama in this town as the top cop is being looked at.

My research is focused on the efficacy of psychotherapy for alcohol dependence, on the determinants of relapse after alcoholism treatment, and on the interaction of alcohol and tobacco dependence. I have conducted studies that have attempted to bridge the gap between basic behavioral research and clinical treatment methods. My alcohol cue reactivity research involved a systematic laboratory assessment of subjective and physiological responses to alcohol-related stimuli. Using this methodology, I have attempted to bring the phenomenon of ''craving'' into the laboratory. My studies of alcohol cue reactivity have focused on the contribution of negative affect to craving for alcohol. I have conducted two clinical trials designed to test alcohol treatment matching hypotheses.
My interest in matching has focused on severity of alcohol dependence and comorbid psychopathology as matching variables. My recent research has utilized Ecological Momentary Assessment methodology to study craving and relapse after alcohol treatment. Computerized self-monitoring is used to obtain real-time assessments of alcohol craving antecedents and consequences. This methodology is also used to measure the impact of tobacco smoking on alcohol urges.
