12 Things to Watch for in Sunday's Colts-Raiders Game
Al Davis is gone…or is he?
It's the first game of the 2013 season, and what better way to celebrate than with the oldest of old hats…Eyes in the Backfield! All year long, we'll look at the most pressing issues surrounding the Colts' quest to return to the playoffs. So without further ado, here's what you should keep your eye on…
1. Watch the dawn. For all the fireworks from Andrew Luck last year, it was just the prelude. While it's exciting to have a new season of Colts football, the future of this team has less to do with the seven to ten wins the team collects and more to do with the evolution of the league's next great passer. Luck is the story. He's the story this and every week until the snow falls. My baseline expectations are 4200 yards passing, a 65% completion percentage, 28 touchdowns, 15 picks, and a top eight DVOA. Those numbers would get Indy into the postseason and establish Luck as the next passer to make the leap to title-contender in 2014. It was a short night in Naptown, so wake up, people. Indianapolis is about to become the Land of the Midnight Sun.
2. Watch for the big reveal. Ahmad Bradshaw is playing! For all the off- and preseason blather about running the ball, the Colts have shown about the same ability to run as well, say, an out-of-shape 37-year old sportswriter (or so I've been told by a friend). If there is to be a hidden gear to the Indy offense revolving around the run game, the addition of Bradshaw to the lineup had better reveal it. Otherwise, it'll be another 600+ passing attempt season for young Master Luck. Bradshaw is an accomplished back who has always been productive when healthy. If he can't produce behind this line, no one can.
3. Watch for the experiment. Terrelle Pryor is starting at quarterback for the Oakland Raiders. But Nate, you say, he earned the job fair and square in the preseason. Hmmm. 17-of-32 for 221, 1 TD, 2 INT. Those numbers are positively Painter-esque. Calling Pryor an experiment is like calling a four-year old who shaves the dog and lights the hair on fire to "see how it smells" a scientist. Very few decisions can virtually eliminate a team's chances of winning before kick off, but going with Pryor is one of them.
4. Watch for the limp. Indy has several key players who are all classified as probable this week. Bradshaw, Dwayne Allen, Coby Fleener and perhaps most importantly Anthony Castonzo practiced Thursday and are expected to start. As uneven as Castonzo is, given the putrescence of the rest of the Indy line, his presence has become an operational imperative for the Colts. The fact is that why they can't run effectively up the middle, Castonzo is a good run blocker and when pared with Allen, the team has a fighting chance of actually advancing the ball on the ground. If he's hobbled in either phase of the game, an upset could brew. I'm pretty sure his replacement is a cardboard cutout of Ron Solt. Or the real Jeff Linkenbach. Either one.
5. Watch the rotation. Darrius Heyward-Bey has been admittedly impressive in the preseason, but it's still unclear how his role and that of T.Y. Hilton will play out. Hilton told me that he doesn't care if he plays inside or out, but with Reggie Wayne getting most of the snaps in the slot, Hilton will apparently line up opposite Heward-Bey. Of course, we don't know how much he'll be on the field either. The trap with Heward-Bey comes if he plays just well enough to stay on the field, moving Hilton off the grid on a majority of snaps. The way the Indy offense fleshes itself out is still a mystery. It seems as if there are too many players to satisfy all at once.
6. Watch for the pressure. Maybe you didn't stay up to see it, but an old friend just dropped seven touchdowns on the defending champions. Last year's dream season took a lot of starch out of the Manning-Luck/New regime-Old regime debate, but these things have a way of resurrecting themselves. If the Colts take a step backward at the same time Manning goes bonkers in Denver, fan displeasure will rise. Chuck Pagano especially has a lot to prove. From an in-game standpoint, he's still a rookie coach. This team has got to win, and win early. Losses to teams like the Raiders, Dolphins or Jags in the first four games could spell disaster right from the start. All is well now, but that doesn't guarantee all will be well in a month.
7. Watch the press box. There will be plenty of room in it, but once again I won't be there. No one wants to hear me whine about how the Colts treat on-line journalists, I get that. Still, I received a huge professional honor this week for both blog coverage and column writing (the Luck piece linked in point one). My peers at the PFWA think I can write. As for the Indianapolis Colts? They are kicking off Year Seven of my Colts coverage with another unexplained refusal to credential me. Just putting it out there. Make of it what you will. Seats go unfilled by small-town papers who get passes but never send writers and on-line guys are shut out. I don't get it.
8. Watch for skeletons. Al Davis was one of the great football minds ever. Historically, his impact is underrated thanks to the long, painful way he carved the flesh off his franchise over the final decade of his life. Indy's own Darrius Heyward-Bey is an example of Al's handiwork. Normally, I'd make a zombie joke, but those are reserved for Bob Sanders (let the reader understand). So, do your best to be on the lookout for the undead skeleton army of Al. He's gone, but he's still ruining the franchise from beyond the grave. The withered corpse of JaMarcus Russell was going to show up, but it sounded like too much effort.
9. Watch the pass rush. If there is an advantage to the Colts' seemingly futile quest to develop a pass rush, it's that this week getting after Pryor may not matter. With a mobile, inaccurate quarterback, keeping him in the pocket and begging him to throw might just work. Now, that won't be so effective when Pey-pey (that's what I call him, deal with it), comes back to town, but for one week, it could be the winning strategy. Even so, if the Colts do show an ability to get after the quarterback, no one will complain. Even if it costs a few scrambling first downs, it would bode well for the rest of the year.
10. Watch for my mad tats. While it's not true that I have "18to88" stamped on my bicep or a drawing of Peyton on my thigh (yet), I am a well tatted-individual. You man not be aware, but the whole reason 18to88 was shut down by the NBAA (National Blogging Athletic Association), was that I traded stories for tats. Of course, now I've moved on to trading radio interviews for tequila, but that's allowed under NBAA guidelines. The blog got the death penalty, but I've moved on to a starting role at the next level. The consequence was that highly popular blogger Luke Dunlevy took the fall for the whole affair, though he temporarily took a job as a call screener for the Kravitz and Eddie show. He's still waiting for his next big-time job.
And that last paragraph still makes more sense than what happened to Pryor at Ohio State
11. Watch the Annual disappear. The Colts Authority Annual is only available through Sunday. It's $4.99 and it's spectacular. Remember that if you have any trouble ordering it, check the comments on the post for instructions. The book is an entertaining read, and it comes with a money back guarantee. You won't be disappointed.
12. Watch for the strong start. The Colts may or may not be an elite, but they are still significantly better than Oakland. I wouldn't take Indy by double digits over too many NFL squads, but the Raiders are the exception. With a fired-up home crowd, the Horse handles the Silver and Black with ease. Colts 24 Raiders 13.

Basketball took top honors in voting for Stetson Athletics' end of year awards for 2012-13.
Senior hoopsters Victoria McGowan and Adam Pegg were selected in voting by head coaches and senior staff as the Hatters' 2012-13 Athletes of the Year.
McGowan helped lead Stetson to the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship and a bid into the NCAA Tournament. She was named Honorable Mention Mid-Major All-American by FullCourt.com and earned first-team All-Atlantic Sun and Atlantic Sun All-Tournament team honors.
McGowan was a three-time Atlantic Sun Player of the Week and was one of 30 players nationally selected as Senior CLASS Award candidates. She led the A-Sun in three-point field goals made (70), ranked second in the A-Sun and 14th nationally in 3FG Pct. (.412), and also ranked among the top 10 A-Sun stat leaders in scoring, rebounding, field goal pct., assists, steals, free throw percentage and minutes played. She scored in double figures in 29 of her 32 games.
In addition to being named the Female Athlete of the Year, McGowan was also selected as Stetson Athletics' Female Distinguished Senior for 2012-13.
While McGowan led the Stetson women's team to the NCAA Tournament, the unquestioned leader for the Stetson men's team was senior Adam Pegg, who recorded an excellent senior season both on and off the hardwood.
After leading Stetson to the Atlantic Sun Tournament for the first time since 2008-09 with a league record of 11-7 and earning the third seed, Pegg was named first team All-Conference. He also earned Academic All-Conference honors and was named the A-Sun Scholar Athlete of the Year.
Pegg was named the A-Sun Player of the Week once and earned Capital One Academic All-District accolades. He finished his senior campaign leading the Hatters with 15.7 points per game and 6.3 rebounds per contest.
Pegg's teammate, Liam McInerney, was selected as the outstanding Male Scholar Athlete for 2012-13. He to be exactly the type of student-athlete any coach would want on their team over the course of his career. A leader on and off the court, McInerney helped the Hatters to one of their best seasons of the last 10 years by coming off the bench to help out in any way that he could.
A starter as a junior, McInerney embraced his new role, cheering on his teammates as much as any could. He played in all 31 games this year, all while carrying a 3.94 cumulative GPA as a sport management major. He also served as Secretary for the Student-Athlete Advisory Council during his senior year.
The other three awards for male student-athletes all went to baseball player Joe Dye. He was selected by Director of Athletics Jeff Altier as the Wendell N. Jarrard Sr. Award winner, which is awarded annually to honor academically talented student-athletes who exemplify academic excellence, athletic competition leadership and moral values.
In addition, Dye was also selected as the Distinguished Senior Award winner as well as the R. Dale Melching Leadership Award winner.
Dye completed a double major in Finance and Sport Management with a 3.52 GPA. He served as both the Vice President for the Student Athlete Advisory Council and team captain. His other campus activities included serving as a security analyst for the prestigious Roland George Investments Program, as a member of the University Athletics Committee, serving as an operations intern in the football program and working as a volunteer member of the athletics department's event staff.
He is a three-time Atlantic Sun Academic All-Conference selection and was nominated for the CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-America team. He has been an honor roll student for two semesters and was been named to the Dean's List each of the last six semesters. He was selected by vote of all student-athletes as Mr. Hatter for 2012. On the field, he appeared on the mound for the Hatters in 100 career games, posting a 3-2 record with a 4.65 ERA.
Two members of the Stetson sand volleyball program were selected for the other three awards. Alisha Hoffman was selected as the Melching Leadership Award winner while Katie DiGirolamo was named Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year in addition to being the Wendell N. Jarrard Sr. Award winner.
Hoffman, who graduated with a cumulative GPA of 3.872, was a three time A-Sun Academic All-Conference selection. She was a member of Beta Gamma Sigma Business Honorary (top 10%) and won the Business School Foundation E. C. Furlong Merit Award for Management, which is the highest award for management majors, in 2013.
She was a first-team All-Atlantic Sun Conference selection 2013 after posting an individual record of 17-7 overall, 7-1 in conference play. She paired with Catherine Coston to go a perfect 4-0 in the Atlantic Sun Championship and was named to the A-Sun Championship all-tournament team.
She earned A-Sun Conference Honor Roll accolades in 2012, volunteered and participated in the Boys and Girls Club walk/run, MeStrong 5K, Relay for Life and the Center for Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW). She also participated in multiple Habitat for Humanity projects. She was a member of SAAC and served as a volunteer note-taker for student academic services.
DiGirolamo was the only junior student-athlete selected for an award. A Business Administration major with a minor in Sport Administration, DiGirolamo holds a 3.93 cumulative GPA. She has been named to the Dean's List after each of her six semesters at Stetson.
She received the 2012 Merit Award for General Business and is a member of Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society. As a member of the sand volleyball team she compiled a 12-8 record this past spring, including 5-3 in Atlantic Sun Conference play. She has a career record of 28-22. She is a two-time Atlantic Sun Academic All-Conference selection. In 2012 she was named the Atlantic Sun Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
She serves as President of the Stetson University Student-Athlete Advisory Council and has been re-elected to that post for the 2013-14 year. She was selected by vote of all student-athletes as Miss Hatter for 2012. She works as an operations intern in the Stetson Football program as well as with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
DiGirolamo is a founding member of the Stetson University Fellowship of Christian Athletes and has served as a Senator in the Student Government Association to represent all student-athletes. In addition, she serves as the representative from the Atlantic Sun Conference on the National SAAC and has attended semi-annual A-Sun and National SAAC meetings.
Over the course of the 2012-13 academic year, a total of 40 Stetson student-athletes earned degrees including two – Joe Dye from baseball and Shanasa Sanders from women's basketball – who earned two degrees.

The judging system in figure skating is leading the inevitable demise of our sport. Thats probably what some people thought after 2013 World Figure Skating Championships.
by Tammy Karatchuk of the Edmonton Journal
The judging system in figure skating is leading the inevitable demise of our sport. Thats probably what some people thought after 2013 World Figure Skating Championships.
Ms. Karatchuk answered her own question:
Casual fans do not want to be assigned a homework lesson. People do not watch sports in order to become educated.(T)here are some [fans, etc.] who wont education themselves about the sport.
Chan did lose the fs to ten so was his second place too high and how would it have been lower? How could he have gone so low as to wipe out his sp lead. So you make the sp worth less? Maybe you must have a system that has mandatory deductions not just in Tes but pcs. Whatever system there is has seen elements of the scoring system lead to people winning aren't seen as now deserving!
If only commentators were given more time to explain the sport to the audience. Maybe a pre game show and an after show analysis. They do it all the time with other sports. It doesn't need to take an hour but 15-30 mins before an event will give commentators time to do some analysis, explain more about the sytem, maybe even a couple of extra fluff pieces-skater profiles etc. it's possible and doing something as simple as that will really help the sport.
Also, continue to encourage fans to use social media to reach the casual fan. It's a great way to interact when there is not a lot of time to say something on air. Also, as Phil Hersh said in a podcast, we need a reporter at the judges desk to find out what in the world happened!! Have this reporter get some answers and report back to the main commentators in the short interlude between skaters leaving the ice to getting their scores. Its tight but again its possible. The judges need to open up and not be veiled under so much secrecy.
Also for the super fan, the protocols need to be revealed skater by skater, without this 'random order' business. The action of the judges need to be scrutinised. It's harsh but that is what they signed up for. If they made a controversial decision they have an obligation to tell why they made that decision in that moment. And if thy did make a controversial decision they too have a right to defend themselves. This divorce between the judges and the audience is choking the sport.
It is not just the system, it is also about the quality of judging and the conditions necessary for them to universally agreed and stand up to public scrutiny. If it annoy the uber fans of the sport, what hope is there to attract new fans and therefore new sponsors?
- Accountability
- Verifiability
- Recalibration between different competitions to minimize home competition slants and false benchmarking.
- Evidence and facts supported analysis
- Public inquiry/presentation/transparency.
Visual aids, sport technology should be used in additional to human judging to minimize human error and educate the casual observer.
I think the problem goes beyond educating the public and holding judges accountable. When the average fan sees one skater clearly outskate another, yet the other guy wins, explanations of where the winner picked up the necessary CoP points to come out on top will not make that fan like the sport any better.
Likewise, if fans see a skater fall all over the place, but then get 8.5's in performance and execution, it does not do any good to ask the judges why they gave the scores that they did. They will just say, well, this skater exhibited musicality, plus he satisfied bullets two through eight on page 328 of the ISU rule book.
The isu also need to play their part and implement rules to make sure that a skater who make mistakes are properly punished not only in the technical mark but the presentation are as well. Yes the system is a points game but going out and doing a program out of your depth and for the sole purpose getting points needs to be discouraged.
I propose it that if a later makes an error, a mandatory deduction in the presentation score should be applied across all components and across all the judges:
For each small mistake (an obvious stumble, doubling or singling jumps, or small noticeable error, small falls that don't affect the program that much. If its an unnoticeable error, like an under rotation or a slight two foot, it should only be deducted in the technical score, which judges do right now.)- 0.25pts should be taken off for ALL five components marks a judge inputs.
For example if skater A made one small error, if the judge for the presentation score awarded skater A
6.00 for skating skills
5.50 for transitions
The computer should automatically deduct 0.25 for each component so it would read in the protocol that the judge gave skater A
5.75 for skating skills
5.25 for transitions etc.
And for big mistakes- deduct 0.5 from each component. if you take a risk and it fails you should be even more harshly punished. Big falls and big mistakes are unacceptable for a top skater.
Let's use Patrick chans performance at 2013 worlds. If a judge gave Patrick a 9.00 for skating skills, he made 3 big mistakes (2 large falls and one big stumble) and one small error (doubling a triple lutz). that means that his 9.00 for skating skills should change to a humble 7.25. Yes his skating is beautiful and yes it seems that I'm being harsh and I love Patrick Chan as a skater, competitor and person but I care more about the integrity of the sport and making it more understandable for the casual fan.
Yes, this could be another confusing rule for the fan but all a commentator has to say that the ISU made changes which further penalise skaters to making mistakes in their presentation mark and that is completely reasonable.
No person, regardless of who or where they're from, should be able to win a World Championship after having made mistakes on nearly half of their jumping passes (in the free). I don't care if your edges can cure cancer. (BTW, Chan won on the strength of his quads + his edges as well as some ridiculous PCS.)
I dislike this article, she's basically calling casuals lazy, and putting the onus on THEM. No, ma'am, they are the consumer, and if you put out a product that is overly complicated, it won't mean anything, people aren't going to get emotionally invested. I would say I'm as versed in this system as any other hardcore fan, and honestly, it IS complicated. Sure, figure skaters get good feedback from the levels and the breakdown of the scores, but honestly, that's what coaches are for NOT judges. Also, she misses the big pink elephant in the room: JUDGES. She says at the end that the scores are based on what is put out on the ice and not who and where they're from.... and she couldn't be more wrong. Reputation judging still occurs, its just a bit harder to spot.
ANY judging system is going to not work when the PEOPLE who are judging aren't doing it properly or uniformly and are doing it anonymously.
One thing I am sick of is the general attitude of "fans are complaining about the results because they're too stupid to understand the scoring system".
(This seems to be a particularly prevalent attitude of Chan fans - not neccessarily here - who just stick their noses in the air and say "you're too stupid to understand Chan's marks!!!!!!")
1) Plenty of us understand the scoring system quite well, thankyou. That doesn't mean we have to like it or the way it's used.
2) Maybe there's something wrong with the scoring system if you have to have a university degree to understand it...
The discussion of placement vs points is an interesting one.
We do sometimes get situations where a skater has such a lead after the short that it is unlikely they'll be overtaken. But we also get situations where a skater in 7th or 8th can skate an amazing long, and pull themselves onto the podium. It's one of the aspects I like about CoP.
I think the system is OK. The problem is that I disagree with the judging, and by that, I mean even after reviewing the protocols.
People complain about PCS, but I'm often left scratching my head at the GOE on technical.
IJS is the system now. There is nothing we can really do to radically change it. Changing back to another system is really going to unsettle the technical progress skating has seen since IJS's implementation. It had to be done. It was a hard pill to swallow but it had to be done or else our sport would've been seen as a joke with predetermined judging. and yes, One of the many problems that fans worry about is the system confusing people, and yes it does confuse many of us.
I come from a nation where most people can only associate figure skating to Blades of Glory and Steve Bradbury's fluke victory at Salt Lake City in short track (its not even figure skating!). In the lead up to the games, I began talking to people about my interest of watching skating and I was given a great opportunity to talk about how the sport works and how the judging system works. Over time, I was able to find ways to explain our sport in the simplest way possible.
Despite most of them had no clue how it worked specifically they generally were able to somewhat understand the process of marking. They generally understand that each element is identified and valued by a tech controller and then judges mark the execution of it and that judges also rate the presentation under categories (Skating skills etc.). They generally know that a skaters mark starts at 0pts and builds up. I also showed them a couple of videos (Yuna's FS at 2013 Worlds!) with the protocol. They were confused but they liked it as a general spectator. They also suspected how easily abused a system like that could be and then I showed and explained the situation with Chan and Ten and how its not a matter of the system, its how the judges use the system. Its like the judges are given the ingredients for the best chocolate cake but they don't know how to cook properly. Even with this slight turn off, they still found this sport fascinating.
As a fan, we have to, in some minimal respect, need to tell others about skating. If the Winter Olympics comes up in a conversation (for me sport comes up alot)...Perfect opportunity to tell people the back stories, rivalries, stories of athletes defying adversity and people to look out for. Gradually entice them and make it fascinating for them!
If I could get other Aussies to grasp something about the system, anything is possible if you come from a nation with a better skating reputation.
Patrick Chan is not a strong skater much in SP usually, It was in only 2013 world championship .
Kim Yu Na was always a strong skater with sp since her debut, FS was weak proportionally because of problems of her stamina. It is certain that Yuna usually earned huge score from the SP, but fs also always almost was stronger than other skaters.
Can you give me an example, when she received a big score in SP, and she mess up FS, and abled to win at least once?
How can you say "her case is a matter of system, too"
Do you think that Hanyu yuzuru's case is also a problem of system?
I will tell you in advance, I love his skating and he's my favorite men's skater.
Yuna is more a case of insurmountable leads in the short than Chan is, over her career. I'm not saying she didn't deserve her victories. I can't recall 2007 GPF or the 2008 4CC, but I did watch 2009 SA, and she did deserve to win there, she wasn't in second by that much in the long, compared to a clean Rachael Flatt.
Also, I understand IJS is the system now... as I have stated repeatedly, people want to knock 6.0 for it's problems, when the problems were never the judging system itself, but the judges. Sure, IJS breaks down scores more, and if you know what you're looking at, there's more to understand the difference between skaters and why skaters got this score. However, what people don't understand is that 6.0 was never about scores, it was about placement. Someone could potentially win with a 5.2/5.5 performance, if those are the best scores given out. There's TONS more ways to be less obvious about shady judging in IJS than under 6.0. The reason results were more "discussed" under 6.0 is because the cheating was right there in your face, and you could spot it. (I.E. Bloc Judging) With the IJS, that is not the case. you have to go digging through the protocols to find correlations, and even then, the judging is anonymous, so you don't know which judge, from which country, gave what score.
BTW, there is a way to make placements and the ability of someone to jump spots from 7th to first or from 9th to first, which would be to devalue the placements received in the Short and put greater weight on the free. However, if 6.0 was always done fairly, then this wouldn't be a problem. The problem was never 6.0, it was that judges would place people so low so that, even IF they won the free, they wouldn't move up. That people in earlier flights would end up being lower because "room" was being left, and then people who came later, who may have had better reputations, or stronger Federations, would sometimes receive unfairly high marks for something that should have been rightly placed below that earlier skater. There should be some reward for winning the short, you've won one portion of the event, you should have some room to still land on the podium. As usual, people want to blame 6.0, when it was the judges' use of 6.0 that was the problem.
The problems have NOT gotten better since 2002, I'm sorry to disappoint all of you IJS defenders. All it did was throw a veil of complexity over a corrupt sport to hoodwink people.

on April 25, 2013 - 1:21 AM
The 2013 NFL Draft will be won or lost in the trenches.
That's where the bulk of the best talent resides and where the teams making the best choices will get richer.
"I've got six offensive tackles with first-round grades, and I've got six defensive tackles with first-round grades," said NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock.
There probably won't be a receiver picked in the top 10. There may not be a running back picked in the top 20. The offensive and defensive lines will rule over the skill positions.
Here's a position-by-position look at the defensive prospects, broken into tiers, which are not meant to be definitive. In other words, the top tier includes players who are potential first-round picks, not just the top 32. Rounds two and three will be held on Day Two. Only selected third-day prospects are included.
Class grade: A
Sharrif Floyd has played multiple spots on the line for the Gators and fits into a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme. … Star Lotulelei was held out of the combine over concerns about a test done on his heart, but follow-ups showed no problems. He's in the Haloti Ngata mold. … Ziggy Ansah, who comes from Ghana, didn't start playing football until 2010. He's raw, but flashes immense potential. … Sheldon Richardson had academic problems and is a one-year wonder. … Sylvester Williams briefly quit football after high school, but later blossomed for the Tar Heels. He's a run-stuffer. … Bjoern Werner's from Germany. He was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year.
Tank Carradine, Werner's Seminoles teammate, tore his ACL late in the season and might be limited to start 2013. … Datone Jones fits best on the inside. He had 19 tackles for loss for the Bruins. … Kawann Short had 14.5 tackles for loss and was a second-team All-America for the Boilermakers. … Jesse Williams, an Australian, has some injury concerns. He's a tough former rugby player. … Margus Hunt won gold medals in the shot put and discus in the 2006 World Junior Championships for Estonia. He's a freakish athlete still adjusting to football.
William Gholston is the cousin of former Jets draft bust Vernon Gholston. … Quanterus Smith had 12.5 sacks in 10 games before tearing an ACL. … Montori Hughes got booted from Tennessee, but can be a rotational player if he shows his work ethic has improved.
Class grade: C
Neither Dion Jordan nor Barkevious Mingo put up big numbers last season, with a combined 9.5 sacks, but both have an excellent first step and the potential to be disruptive pass rushers from the outside linebacker position. … Jarvis Jones led the nation in sacks (14.5) and has gotten a clean bill of health on his spinal stenosis condition. Manti Te'o finished second in the Heisman vote. His slow 40 time at the combine (4.82 seconds) might hurt him as much as the hoax about his girlfriend. … Alec Ogletree's a converted safety with excellent athleticism, but was suspended for four games to start the 2012 season and arrested for DUI before the combine.
Kevin Minter can play all three downs and made 130 tackles last year. He was the most consistent defender on a team loaded with NFL talent. … Arthur Brown plays bigger than his size suggests. NFL.com ranks him as the best linebacker prospect in the draft. … Damontre Moore has slipped leading up to the draft because of poor workouts. … Jamie Collins runs a 4.64 40 and had 10 sacks as a senior. … Sio Moore did 29 reps on the 225-pound bench press at the combine and broke up 11 passes last year.
Sean Porter needs to bulk up, but he's versatile and has really developed in coverage. … Corey Lemonier's leaving school early after a down junior season. Keith Pough made 71 tackles for loss in his career, setting an FCS all-time record. … Tom Wort is one of three players in the draft born in England.
Class grade: B
Dee Milliner, like most Alabama cornerbacks, is tough, physical and forces the run. He's a well-rounded player who ran 4.37 at the combine. What's not to like?
Both of Desmond Trufant's brothers are in the NFL. He shined at the Senior Bowl, ran 4.38 and can play man coverage. Rhodes has great size. He might not be as "sticky" in man coverage as Trufant but he ran 4.44. Kenny Vaccaro will be the seventh Texas DB taken in the top 50 in eight years.
Matt Elam was first-team All-America. … Jonathan Cyprien had a good Senior Bowl and did well in limited chances versus major programs. … Shamarko Thomas is a 5-foot-9 dynamo who ran 4.42 and had a 40.5-inch vertical jump. Can his body hold up to his hard-hitting style? … D.J. Hayden almost died in November after a freak hit in practice tore a vein in his heart. He ran 4.42.
Johnthan Banks is another big, long-armed guy. The concern is his speed (4.61 at the combine). He played faster. David Amerson runs well and was good in 2011. He gambled a bunch and had a down 2012 season. ... Jamar Taylor (4.39) supports the run and had a good Senior Bowl. He can start right away. … Darius Slay has just 13 career starts but had five INTs last season, has size and was the fastest corner at the combine (4.36). ... Blidi Wreh-Wilson fits a zone scheme. … Jordan Poyer had seven INTs last season. ... Tyrann Mathieu, "the Honey Badger," got kicked out of LSU and didn't run real fast. But he's a playmaker. … Eric Reid's father was a track All-America at LSU. He looked elite in 2011 but tailed off. ... D.J. Swearinger, J.J. Wilcox and Shawn Williams all qualify as "rugged" safeties. Wilcox played only one season at safety, switching from RB and slot receiver. ... T.J. McDonald is the son of former 49er safety Tim McDonald.

COLUMBIA — State Law Enforcement Division agents have begun investigating allegations that House Speaker Bobby Harrell used his campaign account and legislative office for personal gain, the agency confirmed Thursday.
S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson last month asked SLED to conduct a preliminary inquiry into a complaint against Harrell filed by S.C. Policy Council President Ashley Landess.
SLED spokesman Thom Berry said Thursday the agency does not identify the names or numbers of agents assigned to specific cases.
But S.C. Common Cause Executive Director John Crangle said SLED told him this week that four agents, two each in Charleston and Columbia, have been assigned to handle the investigation of Harrell.
Crangle said he was told Lt. Michael Green is spearheading the inquiry.
Harrell, a Charleston Republican, has retained attorney Gedney Howe of Charleston as outside counsel.
Howe said he and Harrell are longtime friends, and that the House speaker asked to work with him as he faces scrutiny from SLED.
"I am a sounding board," Howe said.
Howe has represented high-profile political clients before, including former state Treasurer Thomas Ravenel and former state Rep. Tim Wilkes of Winnsboro. Ravenel resigned in 2007 after he was indicted on federal charges of cocaine possession and distribution.
Wilkes was the only lawmaker prosecuted but found not guilty during the "Operation Lost Trust" corruption scandal that shook the state more than two decades ago.
Berry said in any investigation SLED develops a case file. If warranted, the agency then presents the file to the appropriate prosecutorial authority, whether a local solicitor's office, the state attorney general's office or the U.S. attorney's office.
A significant factor in determining which authority to turn the case over to is where the request for the investigation came from, Berry said.
Harrell has called the complaint by Landess "a baseless attack that is driven by personal and political vendetta."
Landess' complaint alleges, among other things, that the speaker may have used his office to benefit a family business and campaign funds for personal use.
Harrell's spokesman Greg Foster said Thursday that the speaker is in compliance with the state's ethics act and that the Policy Council has a history of political attacks against Harrell.
Previous version of this story had an incorrect first name for former state Rep. Tim Wilkes. The Post and Courier regrets the error.

Joint replacement surgery - using your shoulder; Shoulder replacement surgery - after
You have had shoulder replacement surgery to replace the bones of your shoulder joint with artificial parts. The parts include a stem made of metal and a metal ball that fits on the top of the stem. A plastic piece is used as the new surface of the shoulder blade.
Now that you are home you will need to know how to protect your shoulder as it heals.
You will need to wear a sling for the first 6 weeks after surgery. You may want to wear the sling for extra support or protection after that. Some people also wear a shoulder immobilizer to keep the joint in place.
Rest your shoulder on a rolled up towel or small pillow when lying down. This helps prevent damage to your shoulder from the stretching of the muscles or tendons. You will need to keep doing this for 6-8 weeks after your surgery, even when wearing a sling.
Your doctor or physical therapist may teach you pendulum exercises to do at home for 4-6 weeks. To do these exercises:
Your doctor or physical therapist will also teach you safe ways to move your arm and shoulder.
These exercises and movements may hard but they will get easier over time. It is very important to do these as your doctor or therapist showed you. Doing these exercises will help your shoulder get better faster. They will help you be more actives after you recover.
Activities and movements you should try to avoid are:
Wear the sling all the time unless your doctor says you do not have to.
After 4-6 weeks, your doctor or physical therapist will show you other exercises to stretch your shoulder and gain more movement in your joint.
Returning to sports and other activities
Ask your doctor which sports and other activities are okay for you after you recover.
Always think about how to safely use your shoulder before you move or start an activity. To protect your new shoulder:
You will probably not be able to drive for at least 4-6 weeks after surgery. You should not drive when you are taking narcotics. Your doctor or physical therapist will tell you when driving is okay.
Call your doctor or nurse if you have:
Also call the doctor if:

|Lunch Anyone? Just Kidding!
To those of you that wonder why I rarely, if ever, blog about a Chinese restaurant in the San Gabriel Valley, here's the reason: I find it boring and I don't have any inspiration to write about it. I'll leave the SGV to someone more qualified than myself to blog about it. However, writing about the food in my native Taiwan is a different story. If you think the Beef Noodle Soup tour was the end of my Taiwan tour, think again. Let's get on with this before we have to cook the poor dogs from the picture above. (Just kidding of course)
|Healthy Dumplings In An Unnamed Shop Around NTU
Eating out in Taiwan with my mom tends to be an interesting task. She's all about eating healthy, and I on the other hand...am quite the opposite to that. Before we got anywhere, we tend to stop by a place that my mom could eat at. First, we stopped at a local dumpling shop that tends to make things a bit healthier (ie: dumpling skins and noodle were made of vegetable juice).
|Cold Soymilk For Me
|WonTon Soup For My Mom
|Dumplings to Share
|Curry Potstickers For Me
|Kimchi Postickers
The food from above were legit, but definitely not my favorite. My mom enjoyed the won ton soup and the dumplings. The broth was light, but maybe a bit too light for my tastes. The dumplings were pretty standard, but I did enjoy the two varieties of potstickers. The curry version was my favorite and I snacked on most of the plate as my "amuse bouche" before I hit up my intended lunch stop.
|大福利排骨大王 (Da Fu Li Pai Gu Da Wang)
Now this is what I'm talking about. Home of the famous Taiwanese pork chop fried rice, and probably my go-to spot to get it in Taipei.
|Taiwanese Pork Chop Rice
If these pictures doesn't say "effing dericious," then I don't know what is! The pork chop was fried to a perfect crisp. The meat was tender and flavorful. The rice and the accompanied vegetable were fine, but the star of the show was definitely the pork chop. I kinda want a pork chop rice plate right now! (In fact, I think I'll be eating some later on tonight). I think this is one of the better pork chop rice in Taipei right now. At about $3 a plate, you can't really go wrong with this. There's a reason why this shop has almost been opened for 50 years. If you can find something better, please let me know!
|臺一牛奶大王 (Tai Yi Niu Nai Da Wang)
Don't worry, I'm not going to skip dessert. The dessert to get in Taiwan? Shaved ice is always a good way to go. Tai Yi is my absolute favorite place to get shaved ice in Taiwan. In fact, a trip back to Taiwan without eating at Tai Yi is just wrong. There are many options at Tai Yi, but I almost always order the most popular shaved ice they have: Red Bean Shaved Ice with Condensed Milk. Although I always add pudding to my shaved ice.
|紅豆牛奶冰 (Hong Dou Niu Nai Bing)
Now this is what I'm talking about! A plate of shaved ice piled high with red beans and condensed milk. Sometimes I do add 2-3 orders of pudding, but I went "light" on this particular order and only added one extra pudding. Trust me, this was a lot of shaved ice, as I'm barely able to finish the entire plate. Most people at the shop share an order, but I don't even want to bother with that. At $1.50, it's quite a nice bargain. I highly recommend Tai Yi!
After potstickers, a plate of pork chop rice, and a plate of shaved ice, it's time to take a bread, right? Wrong! My cousin decided to take me to her favorite tea place before she had to head back to school. Although Lattea has many drink options, they're know for this one thing called 綠蓋茶 (luu gai cha).
|綠蓋茶 (Luu Gai Cha)
The 綠蓋茶 was basically freshly brewed iced green tea with a salted butter top. Sounds strange, yes, but it was quite tasty. Not particularly my favorite thing I've had, but I'd order it again. It combined the sweet and bitter taste of the tea with the creamy and salty flavors of the whipped butter. The whipped butter had a consistency of whipped cream, but much richer. I'd say try it for yourself before making a conclusion, but it was a unique experience for me.
|Madhouse at MRT Station
After an afternoon eating around National Taiwan University, it's onward to other parts of town. For those that are familiar with the NTU and the 公館 (GongGuan) areas may be saying to themselves: this bugger doesn't know what he's talking about. How come he didn't talk about the gua bao place? the pork blood cake place? the famous boba shop next to that aforementioned pork chop rice place? Don't worry, I know all of those places. Sadly I didn't have enough time, stomach space to eat at the other famous food shops in that area, but I'll vouch for them all as I've had them many times on previous visits.
The areas around NTU is one of my favorites in Taipei, and one that I am quite familiar with. I can't wait to take my friends and explore some of the food haunts in this area later on this year. Be prepared people, be prepared to gain 5-10 pounds!

Former prosecutor pleads guilty to fleeing to NM
A former Maine drug prosecutor who was convicted of child pornography charges has pleaded guilty to fleeing the state after losing his appeal.
James Cameron was sentenced in March 2011 to 16 years in prison after being convicted of 13 charges of possessing and transmitting child pornography.
The 50-year-old Cameron from Rome, Maine, had been free on bail while his appeal was pending.
But law enforcement officials say he disabled his electronic-monitoring bracelet and fled the state in November after a federal appeals court upheld six counts for transporting, receiving and possessing child pornography. He was arrested 17 days later in Albuquerque, N.M.
Now he faces additional prison time. No sentencing date has been set for the contempt charge, which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.

First real HTC One UltraPixel camera samples pop up (video)
0. phoneArena 20 Feb 2013, 02:56 posted on
A few improvised photos have been snapped during the HTC One unveiling festivities yesterday, and with the phone itself at that. So far we only had the company's promo shots, which looked good, but promotional pics are usually done in the best of circumstances, so real-life shots are what counts...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

I'm gonna get SOOOO many thumbs down for this, but my iPhone 4s takes better shots.
21. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
Your iPhone 10 even can't take these kind of photos lolzzz :)
26. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
By chance have a comparison between the results of the HTC One and the Iphone 5 (which camara is supposed to be better than the one in 4S), and I can call your bulls**t!
HTC one:
iPhone 5
It's easy to check how much noise the iPhone 5 camera has under low light.
So don't post stupid comments to create flame wars please!

I dont know abt iPhone 4s but my lumia 800 would definitely kick its ass (At least from above pics).
32. RiseAgainst94 (Posts: 281; Member since: 03 Mar 2012)
My Lumia 900 would get Its ass kicked by it and the 900 and 800 have the same terrible sensor.
36. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
"Terrible"?! I have a 900 and would not call the camera "terrible". Behind the times compared to a 920 or 808, yes, (about on par with a 4s) but not terrible. Look at some recent Pantech smartphones or the Nexus4 to see a lower-quality smartphone camera.
43. B3BLW29 (Posts: 238; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
You would be saying this if you really had Lumia 900/800.

my almost 3 years old nokia n8 takes better shots
3. aokde (Posts: 186; Member since: 09 Jul 2012)
They basically reduced the resolution of photos and that's it. I don't see anything special in those photos. Shame on you htc.
20. cezarepc (Posts: 714; Member since: 23 Nov 2012)
GS3 (even GS2) and Note2 on 5MP takes better pics. That's a common technique to reduce noise. Video of the One is great though.
24. jove39 (Posts: 1858; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Did you viewed those images at 100% size? Image with water bottle seems way better for HTC One
28. shikroi (Posts: 187; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
The sad thing is that they called out the 808 in their info graphic and they made jabs at in the conference. Even though the one is a superior phone; with regards to camera quality its not even approaching the 808, i don't think this cam can even beat the n8. It will be interesting to see low light comparisons with the 920.
4. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)

The iPhone 4S/5 has a backlit sensor with 1.4 micron pixels. The Nokia N8, with its 12MP sensor, 1.75 microns. The Nokia 808, with its proprietary 41MP sensor, virtual pixels of 4 micons at 5MP output and 3.2 microns at 8MP output.
In all of these cases, the resolution is superior to what has been revealed with the HTC One. Sure, the larger pixel approach gathers more light per pixel. Coupled with OIS, this should result in solid low light performance. Unfortunately, it seems to sacrifice in other areas, such as excessive noise. Nokia's Pureview on the 808 has taken noise literally out of the equation...or mostly in most circumstances. The HTC One is not even close.
11. Kalevro (Posts: 56; Member since: 11 Sep 2011)
They brought more light into the pics but maybe they would have had sucess if the camera sensor was in the above average zone, like maybe in the more memorable 8 to 10 megapixels zone.
They do it like Sony, HTC. Bringing in imperfected technology.
12. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Looked at these and some more under proper lightning, and I'm not that impressed. Maxed out at 4MP, they should look pixel sharp, as a matter of fact, you put 920 or iP5 samples next to them (resized to 4MP) and they look slightly sharper. I notice quite a bit noise reduction which is the reason behind the Xperia Z's disappointment, I prefer the results untouched by SW. But I love the pre-buffer technology, makes a lot of sense, and the HDR tech on both sides comes handy, so it's perfectly tolerable.
So why don't results blow away competition? Because, ironically, when HTC says megapixels don't count, it applies to them too: no matter if the sensor has 4mil large or 13mil small pixels, if it's the same size as the rivals, results will be decided by sensor tech and not pixel count, and the sharpest results of any technology over 4, 8 or 13MPs is still produced by (thumbs down coming) the iPhone 5. The Exmor RS has potential too as some of the Chinese manufacturer's samples look very sharp at full 13MP, but I fear the sensor tech is the same for the HTC that was featured on the DNA, and it doesn't matter if it's has larger pixels capturing just 4MPs, same sensor will result in same overall sharpness (resized to a certain resolution obviously).
Still want the phone.
14. Kalevro (Posts: 56; Member since: 11 Sep 2011)
Didn't Sony make Apples' camera sensors. I think the camera team just configured the lenses on the iPhone 5 but still can't argue with your fact.
18. yero789 (unregistered)
Yes that's right,Sony makes Apple's camera sensors,but I like Nokia's Carl Zeiss camera sensors too,they produce natural colors in photos.
22. rgxVOiD (Posts: 440; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
Hopefully Sony can squeeze more juice out of that Exmor RS with some software tweaking
13. shadez10 (Posts: 427; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
i dont see any special thing about this ultrapixel gimmick from HTC...
and also video quality is average....
16. jove39 (Posts: 1858; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Htc one pictures are for sure better than Nexus4...when viewed at 100%
17. yero789 (unregistered)
As I see compared to Nexus 4,there is no real difference,I mean it is the same photo quality,not something new.Just my opinion!
19. louiemapa (Posts: 28; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
I think my 3310 takes better photos than this. XD
23. rizevnarastek (Posts: 347; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
yeah... blah, blah, blah.. you'll get the tests and you'll see...
25. windroid (unregistered)
Are those the fantastic down-sampled photos of the HTC One?!?
They are full of noise I just can't imagine how they would come out if taken on full resolution...
27. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
I thought it was supposed to beat 808 and 920? looks average.
29. afzalzainal (Posts: 60; Member since: 17 Feb 2013)
Wow... Iso burn all over the image.

I'm still looking for a phone that could replace my Sony Xperia X10i (which has been with me for more than 2 years). But I don't think this would be the One.
31. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
What is up with all those troll. So everyone on here is a expert on photo.
37. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
No need to be an expert when they're this obviously bad. My dear grandmother with her cataracts could see these are bad.
33. DerryAhmad (Posts: 278; Member since: 05 May 2012)
I expected a lot.. and I'm disappointed
34. moronman66 (Posts: 162; Member since: 09 Jan 2012)
acceptable for a phone in my eyes, and as for the first comment, the iPhone 4S and the 5 have the same camera, they just decreased size for the 5. Just saying. Also, I don't see anything wrong with the One pictures, they seem fine. You want professional looking pictures, get a Nokia PureView 808, or an actual point and shoot camera.
35. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
What I don't get is why go for the hard sell on 4 mps? Okay, megapixels don't matter, that's cool. But non-PA readers aren't getting that message. If it really doesn't matter, make it an 8 ultra pixel sensor and cram all that new technology into it so when the general public compares it to their current device. The average consumer wanting a better camera than their current 5mp camera will most likely not even give this 4mp or up camera a second look base that misconception of higher mp equals higher quality.
38. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Nexus 4 isn't really a good measuring stick since even the One X has a better camera.
39. apawar71 (Posts: 12; Member since: 28 Nov 2011)
Lol! High ppi Display and a low mp cam unit. Where is HTC going?
41. itiswhatitis (Posts: 423; Member since: 23 Jan 2012)

River flooding continues in Midwest, with several towns expected to see crests Sunday
ST. LOUIS - Another portion of the flooded Mississippi River is closed after around 80 barges broke loose south of St. Louis.
The river is cresting at some spots north of St. Louis, but remains on the rise south of the city.
River traffic is mostly at a standstill from the Quad Cities to St. Louis because most locks have been closed. Even two Mississippi River bridges were closed. At least six states are looking at dangerously river levels following torrential rains this past week. Record flooding is possible in some places as dozens of rivers overflow their banks.
The water levels have forced evacuations, closed roads, swamped hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland and shut down much of the upper Mississippi River to barge traffic.
Volunteers, National Guardsmen and even prison inmates have been taking part in sandbagging and other efforts to ward off fast-rising floodwaters.

Friendly service. I love how they bring out the gf dishes on a special pf chang's logo plate.
My favorite place to eat. Knowledgable staff and kitchen. They use separate everything including plates so you know yours is gluten free. I've eaten here tons of times and never gotten sick. My go to is the gf changs spicy chicken, egg drop soup and sometimes the appetizer of the gf lettuce wraps. Great place for people with celiacs.
Simply the best - celiacs feel so safe with them. Make sure your plates are round if dining in, as that's a sign of GF food - If getting take out, confirm pink GF labels on all entrees. Say no to fortune cookies lol
Gluten free menu! Best gluten free Chinese food option in the valley. Gluten free soy sauce too!
4551 Virginia Beach Boulevard, Virginia Beach, VA 23462
I get sick every single time I go there
2201 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96815
Excellent as always. Thank you for the awesome food and the peace of mind being able to eat it. Service was excellent.
1819 Lake Cook Road, Northbrook, IL 60062
Wonderful gluten-free friendly place to eat! Lots of options. They really take precautions with your meals. Gluten-free meals come out on a different shaped plate than all the others.
1205 Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek, CA 94596
I eat here pretty often and have never gotten sick. Many GF options and all very tasty!
9212 Stony Point, Richmond, VA 23235
I've given them a try more times than I can count in various locations, and at least 30% of the time I end up feeling badly and knowing for sure that my food wasn't GF. This was our first time at this location since moving to Richmond. The GF menu is smaller and more expensive than it used to be, and I've been home 30 minutes and can tell my stomach isn't happy. And this particular location was painfully slow, which has nothing to do with the GF part but is certainly not a positive thing.
3450 Wrightsboro Road d215, Augusta, GA 30909
My boyfriend, myself, and my older sister's family frequent this PF Chang's often. They always have a GF dessert available and that chocolate dome is finally back!! 😍😍 The staff are very understanding and knowledgeable when you mention an allergy, although we have had mixups happen: On one occasion they brought a meal out on their GF plate, but we swore it tasted off.. I stopped eating it, my sister definitely felt the repercussions of that instance. Because of this I wont mark "Celiac friendly."
3333 Buford Drive, Buford, GA 30519
Wow, I cannot just say that the knowledgable staff is great; they are enthusiastically great. I feel so good about eating there, not only because it is safe, but everybody there makes us feel so welcome. They have an easy, separate GF menu. We eat there almost weekly and only once has a potential error occurred. But we caught it because they use different plates for GF meals. Nice safeguard!
1190 Farrow Parkway, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
We had our 1st PF Changs experience tonight & it was amazing!! I am gf & df and our server, Catie, was so helpful in guiding me to which items I could eat. The house made ginger beer is gf & so good! For an app the lettuce wrap was amazing & the pad Thai was stuff dreams are made of! I can't wait to eat the leftovers. They also put all gf items on a special PF Chang plate rather than a regular plate so it's easier to identify the gf food. Can't wait to go back!
3667 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89109
Gluten free is served on round plates and was delicious. Service was great, and they reconfirmed the gluten free dishes when they were bought to the table. Great location , we sat on the outside patio so could people watch on the strip too. Quite expensive but definitely worth it for gluten free Chinese food!!!
321 West Katella Avenue #120, Anaheim, CA 92802
Great menu options.
11685 Westheimer Rd., Houston, TX 77077
Table was sticky, though server cleaned it quickly. noisy. food very very salty.
5 Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg, IL 60173
amazing gf beef and broccoli! I do have cd and had no reaction...I would go back.
1190 Farrow Parkway, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
Amazing. Completely separate menu with lots of options. Shrimp fried rice was to die for. They use a different kind of plate for gluten free dishes so that everyone who touches it is aware. Server said it is loaded into a totally different computer in the back and made in a dedicated gluten free area and separate wok. I feel almost normal again .
40762 Winchester Road, Temecula, CA 92591
I have eaten here several times. I have never gotten sick. I like that they use separate plates for gf, so you can verify they brought you a gf meal. Just ask and verify if it doesn't come on the special plate and verify the sauces when they come to the table.
111 Providence Pl, Providence, RI 02903
Chose a chicken dish off the gf menu. Delicious! Has a dedicated gf cooking area.
600 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, MD 21202
They know my name here and they know what i regularly order. Wow. great spot, very tasty. can split meals on the cheap too.
174 West 300 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
The food was great and I didn't get sick
8 Park Plaza Space D6, Boston, MA 02116
I would say the food and service were average. we went here for sushi and pad Thai but were disappointed when they told us their sushi contains gluten.
2420 West Happy Valley Road, Phoenix, AZ 85085
Do not trust gluten free menu!!!!! Currently so sick from eating there
3667 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89109
All GF food came out on special round plates and is cooked with dedicated equipment. The Mongolian beef is to die for! Felt safe eating here as a celiac and would definitely go back!
3545 U.S. 1, Princeton, NJ 08540
This is the best autism food celiac friendly. I have been to many PF Chang's in 4other states .Best desirous GF menu . Waiter pointed. out each Plate is marked with gluten free on dish . GF Beer Titos
174 West 300 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
I cannot believe this place has received good reviews! My daughter became sick within minutes of eating the food. I will accept partial blame because there were red flags. The manager on duty came to tell me I ordered something that wasn't gluten free according to the chef. When I pointed out to her that it was on the gf menu, she double checked with the chef and they agree he must be mistaken. Nope-not mistaken! It was an absolute nightmare to have my daughter get sick as she was moving into her dorm. Please please do not take your family there if you have celiac's or a high intolerance!
305 The Bridge Street, Huntsville, AL 35806
Excellent gluten free food as usual from this national chain restaurant.
2120 Lone Star Dr., Sugar Land, TX 77479
everything very tasty, good bar, highly gluten free friendly. have eaten many times im an ultra sensitive dx celiac I've never been sick. upscale, restful atmosphere.
820 Eastview Mall, Victor, NY 14564
Outstanding. Love this place
111 Providence Pl, Providence, RI 02903
Just love that place that serves the gf meal in a different plate so everyone from the kitchen to my table knows it's gf I wish they were in my home town
5180 S Kietzke Ln., Reno, NV 89511
Decent gluten free menu. I was disappointed that there wasn't more seafood on it. Of course the prices are higher for anything gluten free... but overall a good experience.
3405 Nicholasville Road, Lexington, KY 40503
I've been several times since getting celiac. They are always great about bringing my GF food on a specially designated plate and saying "Here is your GF pad Thai" or whatever I've ordered. Always makes me feel more comfortable eating there, and I've never gotten sick. The food is really great too!
2120 Lone Star Dr., Sugar Land, TX 77479
Very well educated staff. If even small chance of cross contamination will not recommend. Celiac friendly.
175 Harvey St, Winston-Salem, NC 27103
Loved P.F. Changs! Had been wanting to eat here for a while and finally got the chance. I ordered the ginger garlic chicken and broccoli with a side of GF fried rice. It was really good!!! Much better than I anticipated. It's a little over priced in my opinion, but 5 of us (2 being kids) ate here for around $70. Not too bad. The great thing is it did not make me sick. I have Celiac Disease and a lot of things seem to cause a reaction lately, this was not one of them! Thrilled! Will be back!
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), Worldgateway Place, Romulus, MI 48242
Awesome! Delicious & gluten free section of the menu.
2525 W End Suite #2535, Nashville, TN 37203
Their GF options are delicious and pretty plentiful, but make sure you tell them right off the bat that you can't have gluten. We ordered the chicken lettuce wraps, but if you don't say "gluten free" explicitly they will bring you the lettuce wraps that have gluten.
820 Eastview Mall, Victor, NY 14564
while they do have gluten free options, all of their meat is tendorized in milk, so not good for gluten/dairy free only gluten free. For an asian restaurant to do this is insane btw.
925 Blossom Hill Road, San Jose, CA 95123
I'm mad that they now charge $2 extra for gluten free. I'm boycotting.
1400 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431
A great choice if you are in the mood for gluten free Chinese food. Offers favorites like Pad Thai and spicy chicken. Even has GF dessert like flour less chocolate cake
1454 Bay Area Blvd, Webster, TX 77598
Gluten Free Shrimp and Lobster sauce! Had a yummy meal, lettuce wraps and dessert! What a treat! Knowledgeable server, gf menu. Mo worries!
174 West 300 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
Great food and service. We had the gluten free lettuce wraps, shrimp pad Thai, shrimp in lobster bisque. We will definitely bring the rest of the gf family back here for other occasions.
2418 East Sunrise Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304
Excellent gluten free menu.
350 Riverside Square Mall, Hackensack, NJ 07601
They were SUPER friendly and were patient with us as first timers. I will definitely go again 🤗
2626 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd., Dayton, OH 45459
Wide selection of GF for takeout. My Mongolian Beef was even tastier than the regular menu version. The takeout was 20 minutes late though and an email to the manager was never answered.
1295 Chesterfield Parkway East, Chesterfield, MO 63017
Very expensive! Basically paid $16.50 for GF chicken nuggets with sauce and it was very bland. There aren't many GF options but did have a couple GF desserts
131 Colonie Center #305, Albany, NY 12205
I have been here many times in the last few months and have never had a problem. As usual for PF Chang's you're brought a fortune cookie with the check. Use some common sense.
10700 Stockdale Highway, Bakersfield, CA 93311
Awesome new gf menu and desserts! So many options for gf! Never have had any reactions
640 Grand Boulevard, Sandestin, FL 32550
Very knowledgable about gluten free dishes! Excellent food with specific gluten free menu!
111 Providence Pl, Providence, RI 02903
Love the food! Thankful for all of the delicious gluten free options they have to choose from. Staff makes me feel secure and are always friendly at every one of their many locations I have dined at.
1716 International Drive, McLean, VA 22102
I was looking for that crunchy sesame chicken basic Chinese chicken gluten free everywhere. Even tried to make it :( didn't work. They have it at PF Changs though! And I didn't have to worry about fishy service. Many gf Options and they will ask you if it is an allergy. Also yum that chocolate gf cake :))
148 West Bridge Street, Homestead, PA 15120
this location does not take care with gluten free items. I am fine after eating at the Robinson location but not at this one.
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), Worldgateway Place, Romulus, MI 48242
Good food, also price too
18250 Tomball Parkway, Houston, TX 77070
This business has now severely reduced the gluten-free options we've loved for years and now has a gluten-free menu you have to ask for instead. Only one dish suits my allergy situations and it was too salty. Very sad to see such changes. They still claim to have the specific gluten-free prep area but the menu is definitely lacking.
820 Eastview Mall, Victor, NY 14564
Tell your server you are Celiac. They have a dedicated GF Menu and have procedures in place. Excellent food and I can kick back and relax.

We've all been through the pre-storm hysteria before, but New Jersey's Gov. Chris Christie is warning the state's residents not to be cynical about it this time.
"We should not underestimate this storm," he said Saturday at a press conference in North Wildwood. He had declared at state of emergency in the morning and a mandatory evacuation of the state's barrier islands by Sunday afternoon.
Residents should be off the islands entirely by 4 p.m. Sunday, he said.
Local police forces could shut down causeways to the barrier islands after that time, officials said. To ease travel, state tolls will be waived starting at 6 a.m. Sunday. State officials planned to monitor traffic and may impose the waiver even earlier Saturday night.

Dear Tom and Ray: I'm a young man of 24 who is about to start business school. The trouble is that I drive a '98 Ford Ranger with 110,000 miles – not exactly a model known for being an executive's car. I've been looking around online, and I've found some great deals. I've found a '97 Porsche for less than $6,000, and an '87 Alfa Romeo for less than $4,000! This list goes on. Can these cars possibly be the bargains they appear to be? All of them have slight cosmetic or mechanical issues, but I'm somewhat mechanical, so these deals are all the more appealing. My question: Are these great cheap cars, or money pits? – Gareth
Ray: They're money pits. The reason they're cheap is because they'll cost you a fortune to keep running. And even without the benefit of business school, I'm going to recommend that you buy one, because, as a mechanic, I know it'll be good for MY business.
Tom: I'd actually encourage you to keep the Ranger. First of all, you're not an executive – you're a student. So you don't need to impress anybody with your car. You need to impress people with your hard work, your intelligence, your judgment and your creativity.
Ray: Second, in my opinion, the old Ranger pickup makes a better impression than an old Porsche or Alfa. Why? Because it's a better business decision. Would you hire an executive who appears to be prudent and careful with his own money, or one who wastes his money on expensive, showy accessories? Which guy would you want running YOUR company and spending YOUR money?
Tom: I think the Ranger sends exactly the right message for an aspiring businessman: that you're practical, economical, grounded, confident enough to drive whatever you feel like, and more concerned with function than flashiness.
Ray: And OK, you don't have much fashion sense. But as long as you're not interviewing at Estee Lauder, you'll be fine. Good luck, Gareth.
Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 2007 Kia Spectra EX that does not start all the time, and it is getting corrosion on the battery terminals. My husband cleaned the terminals just a few weeks ago, and the corrosion is back! Can you tell me what is going on, and if a new battery will fix this issue? – Jennifer
Ray: Probably. When you're getting corrosion on the battery terminals, it's often a sign that your battery is out-gassing.
Tom: It's the battery equivalent of eating a couple of double-cheese-and-bean enchiladas.
Ray: Out-gassing usually is an indication that the battery is on its last legs. It often signifies that you've got a dead or dying cell, which in turn means the battery is putting out 10 volts, or 9.5 volts, instead of the usual 12. That's not enough to start the car reliably.
Tom: And unless you're parking on the beach, the fact that the corrosion came back just weeks after you cleaned it suggests that there's a whole lot of out-gassing going on. My guess is that it's time for a new battery.
Ray: But it can be checked. Have someone test the battery and charging system for you, and if you need another battery after five or six years, it wouldn't surprise me.
