For programmers, they understand the importance of working with a good programming language. One of the most commonly used languages for programming is PHP. It is the pride of software developers and everyone else working in the IT industry. This tool was created in 1995, primarily for web development but it is also used for any other programming functions. By the beginning of 2013, about 240 million websites were running on this language. At the time of its formulation, it PHP referred to as Personal Home Page but today it means Hypertext Preprocessor and has proven to be efficient and reliable for both web developers and website owners.
How does the PHP work? First, the code can be used with HTML or with various web frameworks. The code is created by a PHP interpreter, installed as Common Gateway Interface. Once the code is made and implemented, the web server sends the results to the client, as a portion of the developed web page. From its inception, the PHP developers have been trying to improve the functionality of the programming language. This has led to the development of the likes of PHP6 and PHP7.
PHP6 is nothing much but the original version plus the Unicode support. After users of the programming language complained that the PHP did not have Unicode support, the company had to come together and include the important feature in the language code. It is believed that the version will be released soon. The PHP7 on the other hand, can be seen as the future of programming language. It is highly optimized for improved performance. One of its most compelling features is that it permits for backward compatibility. The advanced language will also have return type declarations, to backup its parameter-type declarations. With all these developments under way, you can be assured that the PHP can only get better. Although these two are not released yet, they will be quite an asset to programmer, once they will be launched.

AKRON, OH–Mar 15, 2013 – At their annual December business meeting, the Akron Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society presented their highest award – the Barbershopper of the Year, to retired Pastor Bud Couts, for his exemplary character and altruistic attitude of service through the medium of song.
Pastor Couts, a native of Atwater, Ohio, gained his early musical training as a drummer in his family orchestra. After college he spent the next six years as youth/music pastor at two churches in Ohio and then as music/PR director at Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy in Hudson, Ohio. Following over 20 years teaching at a private Christian school in the Bahamas, Reverend Couts has retired (2010) from his most recent charge at the Goss Memorial Church in Kenmore, Ohio, where he pastored for 14 years.
Bud has been an active member of Akron's Barbershop Chorus since 2000. "He has enriched our chapter with his musical skills as a performer and assistant director, and has at times served us in his role as pastor as well" says chapter librarian Mark Nedel.
The Akron Derbytown Chorus has been a part of the city's musical community since its founding in 1945. Barbershop harmony is music done in close harmony and is one of the few styles that were truly born in America. Further information about the history of the Akron Chapter, and Barbershop Harmony, can be found on our website: http://www.derbytownchorus.org

Best Characters In the Anime Fairy Tail
The Top TenXW
She's the coolest female in FT I think mira jane and erza are equal some people say... But I think its not cause she has lots of magics and can change her armor and some weapons but mira jane turns to demon the outfit is 2 its red and blue but I think erza is much tough and stronger than mira jane
Amazing personality, beautiful, seducing, strong. She gives me life in fairy tail! I would love to see her further strength! I believe she'll go up as the first in this voting! Keep up on er-chan~!
She's like my role model in Fairy Tail. Whereas Lucy loves talking about her looks and whatnot (but she's still a good person, even if she's a tad bit annoying), Erza is strong, brave, caring, beautiful, etc. The traumatic events she had in her life exceeded many, if not most, of the other characters, and shaped her to become stronger and harder, which I love. My second favourite would be Gray and third varies on the episode.
Although Erza is a good character in Fairy Tail I admire Mirajane the most. But they that's just my opinionV102 Comments
Gray is a wonderful character simply because unlike the other members who each possess unique abilities E.G. Dragon Slaying, ice making magic can be learnt by almost all mages but it is up to you to hone it. Gray is creative (gosh, his intelligence is always overlooked, I have no idea why. Maybe because he enjoys his silly but friendly fights with Natsu too much? ) His battles usually include strategy (take his fast reaction by freezing his blood while fighting Ultear even though she only mentioned a detail once for example). His back story is heartbreaking but he chooses to live on. He is selfless. He has saved many souls (e.G. Lyon, Juvia, Ultear.). He is unbelievably kind and gentle (look how he treats the exceeds. Even Frosch! ) Plus he's ' hot.
In comparison to many other characters in FT Gray is one of the more unique ones. His magic is as Erza stated Beautiful and yet it is deadly and can be used for almost every situation he is in. His Ice devil slayer magic is an upgrade he deserved after all of the trolling Mashima and the studio animators put him through and his fights are always enjoyable to watch as he utilizes not only his brawn (which is over-looked all the damn time) but his brain too (Which too is over-looked). Gray also is probably the only person I have seen in the show who treats everyone equally, for example He supported Gajeel with his singing not from how he sounded but what message it delivered. Unfortunately this wonderful character is always under-estimated and over-looked for below average characters (i won't name names). I could go on forever but I wouldn't want to take up an entire page or two giving reasons why Gray is the best character so I will leave this here.
He's so awesome! He has awesome skills and is by far he hotter one!
He is just too good and character wise even can out throw natsuV90 Comments
I love Jellal! He was a jerk at first, but hey, he was possessed. When he became the kind Jellal he used to be, well, who wouldn't like him?
I love jellal he's handsome and awesome
I just love Jellal. in the beginning he did some bad things, but he couldn't really control it, but he spends the rest of his life doing good things to make up for it. he's so cool, strong, and beautiful and him and ERza are so cute together.
He has the best character development in the entire series. - Goku02V78 Comments
A lot of these Natsu aren't really giving good reason as to why Natsu is the best (or worst) character in the series. There are two that I've seen so far that has given a concise reason as why they think so with facts from the story. Others are just "Oh he's Natsu" or "He is sooo funny", those aren't reasons.
I love NATSU. He is loyal, nice and loves his comrades so much. He cares for each and every one of them. He so funny. He is like BAE for life. I love his cute pink hair and his smile. He is funny and silly and more fun when he is with Lucy and happy. NATSU is my sempai and he loves to eat a lot lol. NATSU is tough and at the same time he is very nice and soft. I love his powers sometimes I wouldn't get surprised when his powers are so incredible. He always has a smile on his face. I barely see him cry like EVER. He always set goals and when someone in the guild is sad he always knows how to cheer them up like Lucy. NATSU is a hero to me. I love it when he works with his best friend happy. It's even funny when he and gray sometimes end up together and both get scared of erza lol. I just love NATSU. He is a great anime character and if he were real I would love to meet him. And get his autograph.
NATSU is bad my life everything! He is my hero my inspiration. My hero. He is so loyal and sexy and hot. DUH! Like he care about his comrades and always protect the ones he loves and the anime it self is so good and NATSU is just my favorite character so I don't know why he is number like the hell is this. He is funny, awesome, cute and amazing. He's awesome powers and he teaches me things that apply to real life. He never shows his weakness and helps others like lucy and happy. He has a soft side and a tough side as well. His quotes are pretty inspirational. His character is what makes him amazing.
I just want to say, I don't think anyone can match Natsu's loyalty and kindness.V94 Comments
He is honestly one out of a small handful of tolerable characters in Fairy Tail that make the series somewhat watchable/readable. Over the series of Fairy Tail he actually receives some character development and actually improves his personality over the course of the series. Whenever he gets into a fight, it's worth enjoying it due to it not being heavily one-sided. However, when it comes to him in GMG his character regresses drastically when he quotes Natsu and he one-shots Jura because that is not normal when it comes to Laxus's character. In fact, it really is unfortunate because he had trained to fight against Jura and we were given a power chart to see where the characters were power-wise (Jura and Laxus were pretty so they should have had a pretty equal fight lasting for 4-5 chapters). In the end, Laxus is still an enjoyable character since he rarely ever partakes in the nakama silliness of the guild members and he actually has some character development.
Honestly, at first I thought Laxus was just another prick. But after the battle of fairy tail he started showing some actual character development. And it wasn't a 100% immediate turn around either. During tenrou island and key of the starry skies he was still showing traces of his superior attitude, and I loved that. His transformation was actually believable in terms of how it progressed. And when he was punished for hurting fairy tail he took it like a man. Plus who doesn't like (or love) it when he knocks one of the idiots around a little.
Laxus Dreyar is the only reason I still watch fairy tail, No one as quick as laxus, strong as laxus, in a fight there is no one better!
I think his strength holds way more than just lightingV30 Comments
He is uber strong, a funny person, calm, makes the BEST facial expressions... He is like my life in that show
Sting is not only super strong but he constantly works hard to improve his skills and knows the true meaning of friendship. also he is so cute especially his friendship with Lecter and the way he looks up to Natsu is adorable.
Sting is and will always be my favourite Fairy Tail character. I know it's an unpopular opinion but he is just so adorable and dorky but hot. He is amazing!
The best character in fairy tailV18 Comments
Should be #2, to be honest. She has a great story and motive to her previously villainy that dig ever deeper. She never truly wanted to commit said deeds despite having been "abandoned" as a child, manipulated by countless of those who have delved too deep into magic (Hades, Oracion Seis' Brain, etc), and have had been treated as a lab rat. Such a past would drive people to complete evil, if not insanity. Nonetheless, Ultear persevered and only committed them to achieve a magic power that would undo all of said acts and help her attain happiness that was unjustifiably stolen from her at such a young age. Her good will is also proven when she protects and takes care of a young orphaned girl whom she had just met (Meldy). Furthermore, once she was shown the light by Fairy Tail, she turned her back against evil, and rather than stay locked up in a cage regretting her actions but not atoning for them, she formed an independent guild called "Crime Sorciere", along with ...more
With Jellal (as a villain ofc) and Lyon, Ultear was one of the few villains in this show who had both brilliant background and development. She kinda represents the beginning of the series, where the arcs were more well thought, unlike the powerscale-dependant arcs and villains we're getting right now. Besides, she was an incredibly smart character as she was able to infiltrate successfully the Council and manipulated Jellal to get her job done. She was also not fully insane, as she actually cared for her comrades. Pity that she was in that terrible group of villains :'(
Ultear... My favorite character... she had to go trough so much! And gave her life to save the world.. AND her Ice Maker magic is badass better then Grays by far! Also she is the 4 strongest female next to Ul, Erza and Mavis
I just like her so much and I don't know whyV27 Comments
I personally find Lucy to be conceited when it comes to her looks, and annoying when she simply sits back and watches as Natsu, Gray, Erza, etc save everyone. But when she actually gets up on her feet and fights, she's fairly strong. She has a lot of potential, and I believe the reason her power isn't as great as say, Juvia's, is because she spent so much of her life cooped up in a mansion. She also incredibly smart, if not a bit naive and superficial, and also cares for her friends. I think the reason she's not as driven as many of the other characters is because the traumatic events in her past weren't as severe. Overall, she's either my 5th or 6th favourite
I mean, to be honest, Lucy is rather conceited. She's obsessed with her looks. It's annoying when she doesn't make a stand for herself and just lets Natsu, Grey, or Erza go and kick some butt. But she's our main character. She's funny. Positive. Filled with emotion. Happy. Selfless. She's Lucy. She's just so heartwarming. And in a way, she's the character WE can relate to the most. We're not Erza. We can't be that awesome. But we can be Lucy; sometimes weak, sometimes scared, but positive, selfless, sensitive, and happy. We are Lucy.
How is the main character at number 7 on this list?! I've loved Lucy ever since the start, she's has amazing qualities that make her hilariously relatable: has trouble with her love life(ahem forget about that, she's got a Natsu ), the most logical out of all her friends, and is especially relatable when it comes to struggles about her personal problems. Most people who dislike Lucy only don;t like her because they think she 'sits back and lets Natsu and her friends fight for her instead of doing it for herself'. Well, guess what?
Lucy DOES fight for herself when she can. Remember in Tartaros, when everyone was isolated in that stuff and she was the only one left? She fought until she could barely move, and if you read the manga, you would know: after a year, Lucy turned from medium strength to a badass. Like seriously, how much more beautifully strong can you get? She probably matches Erza in both beauty AND power now!
Lucy Heartfilia is my favorite Fairy Tail character. She's amazing.V80 Comments
Freed is just the sweetest, most intelligent, most handsome, kindest, and all around amazing little cinnamon bun you have ever laid eyes on. Voting him's easy!
I can't believe he made the list! I would not have pinned him as one of the top characters.
He is strong and intelligent. He can defeat all the fairy tail members if he got the time
Oh and he's fabulous.V13 Comments
She is one of the favorite character of this anime series but needs more story and fight scenes on her.
I just love her. After all that happened to her (I mean her sisters "death") she was still strong, because she knew she had to protect her family. She always smiles. She know, that every single person is good inside. She always cheers everyone up, and if she cries, I'm crying too. She always believes in her friends and that there's rainbow after clouds. Such positive character! Besides, she's sometimes very funny.
I really love Mirajane. She's too kind and she's so positive. I believe she's the third strongest in fairy tail (guild) after mavis and makarov. Afterall we still doesn't know what's her limit. Even she might able to defeat mavis or makarov since she now have macro. She can control everyone and make them do things and she can do it every time she wants too. And she got a lot of strong demons. But her past is a bit too much for a cutie like her. Cause she defeated a demon for her village but still the villagers wants mirajane to go away from the village. BUT WHO CARES. WE ALL LOVE MIRAJANE
She's so much more than just a pretty face, and I love it! I would like to see more of her, I feel like she doesn't get nearly as much screen time as she deserves!V31 Comments

He's just a tough guy on the outside but on the inside he just wants a flying cat
Gajeel is one of the best characters in the series. He's a lot like Vegeta in his personality and role in the story, and where he really shines is the moments where he makes the audience laugh. His singing is a riot, and when he was looking for a cat to have as a sidekick, I was laughing the entire time.
Gajeel is my favorite character in the show. He was the original villain turned hero in the series and has had a ton of great character development. Not to mention he's a BADASS, plus with his Iron-shadow dragon mode he's almost as strong as Natsu.
He is amazing he's my fave character and I think he's cuteV35 Comments
Considering how her character developed in strength and personality it should be enough to be a bit higher. If you think about it Juvia hasn't been completely useless she would always give it her all in battle especially since she's been getting more screen time people should see how impressive she's gotten plus she barely crys about things which I find is a good thing considering most female characters do. And another thing people shoukd Really consider how strong she is consideribg Gajeel is always willibg to work with her abd fight along side her (since their basically like BFF's). Not to mention her combination of her humorous personality, with that she also brings a different type of character to fairy tail- no not a crazy love stalker, just a girl who doesn't keep her emotions in well. In any case I found her attraction to Gray to be less from when she started which is pretty good and it shows that she isn't too dependant on Gray. If you still don't like Juvia please try and re ...more
I'm sorry but Juvia is just so sick I don't understand how she could be at this ranking...and it's pretty sad I mean she's funny, weird, cool, smart, and very powerful when she's ready I'm lost why Lucy is before her and not to mention the other way awesome characters in all of the series like Rogue or Zeref? There's more but I'm just so upset at this shocking revelation that I can't even think clearly...JUVIA ROCKS AND DON'T HATE ON HER!
I'm really sorry to say this, but Juvia has to be one of, if not, my least favorite characters. I mean, she has her perks, like she's strong, loyal, and loves her friends. But I cannot stand her obsession for Gray. When she's obsessive, I have to pause every 5 seconds to cringe. Sometimes, she can be cute, but it's overall annoying and stupid. I mean, she can fangirl about Gray, but when it's every second of her screen time, it gets old really fast. Lets face it, she is way too obsessive. If Hiro tones down her obsession to a normal person, I might like her better.
She's honestly greta and amazing, Gray too!V64 Comments
I don't understand why he isn't higher. He was the only member of Sabertooth that questioned what their guild was doing, even going as far to call their guild's motives wrong. He didn't join them in the arena when they were going to throw down after Minerva hurt Lucy, not did he watch Minerva beat her up. He also has such a soft side for Frosh which is ADORABLE. And then there's the whole shadow thing. He's had to deal with the fact that in the future he could kill Sting, and yet he still strives to be happy. Honestly, I love Rogue. He should be at least 12.
In my opinion, Rogue is much more better-looking than Gray. At first, he shows his disinterest in everything and everyone, with Gajeel as the only person and thing he was interested in. He longed to surpass Gajeel. Rogue actually spoke up and questioned the Sabertooth guild's policies. After a while, he shows his caring nature towards his comrades. Rogue should be in the top ten.
He's just awesome I love his abilities and his look. His exceed is the best one. And I just really like his character
Rogue is one of my favourite characters in fairy tail he's just so nice despite all of the things he had to go throughV12 Comments
This woman could destroy anything without even unleashing her sword! That is power! If it wasn't for Erza telling her about Simon's death and getting Kagura so emotional(which broke her focus on the match) then I truly believe that she could have taken Erza down. While watching her fight, I truly thought to myself "Erza might lose." Super strong, a great wizard, needs more screen time. Also, she wear clothes! She's not running around trying to fight in high heels and a bikini! She looks like a warrior, and I love that!
Kagura is my favourite character. Why? Because she's very strong but is also delicate. She probably could've beaten Erza if she didn't get so emotional. Unlike Erza, she doesn't win EVERY SINGLE BATTLE(not that I hate Erza). She's cool and is not all about her looks, which I like.
Kagura is so hot yet so cute, and she is strong yet fragile
I think she is in the same level with erza and she is prettyV11 Comments
Um, he's amazing... What more is there to say? - freeflight
He's like the batman of Fairy Tail
The most mysterious and badass character in Fairy Tail spoilers:
I'm still waiting for him to return
How his he 15? He should be at least in the Top 10, I Still hope he returns.V22 Comments
Loke is an overrated garbage character. His personality has nothing special besides being a pervert and a player. The only thing cool about him is what he did for Aries, his power, and his clothes, which could easily be given to a better zodiac. Speaking of zodiacs, why is he the leader of them? He shouldn't be given a higher title simply because he's the Lion. I want to see other zodiacs more, like Capricorn, but no, we see Loke instead. Whoopdedoo. What a disappointment he is to those who has the Leo as their constellation sign.
I don't know who could be cuter than Loke. - Pegasister12
He the bomb he protects Lucy at all costs and got possessed for her
Loke rocks he is powerful and he's going to keep getting strongerV10 Comments
Awesome magic that can make or combine magic and don't know how he got two move shoted by gray.V2 Comments
I actually think Lyon should be in the top ten... He's super handsome and at first he was quite obsessed with becoming better than his master your and seems quite vain. But later on his more caring characteristics comes to pass. He adores Juvia and does everything to try and please her. He also asks Gray when he was planning to marry Juvia; he obviously is struggling with the thought but overcomes by thinking about Juvia's happiness... Why does Juvia like Gray when he is so absurdly mean to her?!?!
Lyon is an AMAZING character. He was super sweet when he was a kid and has awesome skill when it comes to his magic. Did I mention his hair?
Lyon is so handsome and likes juvia
I think Julia should be with himV6 Comments
HAPPY IS SUCH A CUTE PIE! I want him to be my pet! Aye!
You really do have to admit: Happy is ADORABLE. And he's not JUST cute. He can FLY, which he uses to get people out of some tricky spots! He's always funny and, well, HAPPY!
Happy is so great! He is in my top ten for sure. He is so funny, and cute, and I love how he teases Lucy so much. I honestly quote happy all the time.
Why is happy 19 I mean 4 or 5 would be betterV35 Comments
He's the sweetest character in this anime. He acted almost like a father to natsu and lisanna and despite his power he isn't arrogant or annoying.
He is a sweet father a funny pervert at times and cares for everything I don't like how giro doesn't let him battle more in the manga and the anime
Come on! Gildarts Clive is the best! Vote him up! He's the strongest S-Class wizard of Fairy tail! - Animefan12

So 2 weeks ago today I gave birth to the most amazing little man in the world. He was born at 30 weeks 4 days and has stunned the Dr.'s from moment one when he came out screaming his head off. :) I had the steroid shots a few days earlier, so I'm sure that made a difference. He was born 15 1/2" long and 2lbs 10oz and quickly dropped to 2lbs 5oz. He never needed any support other than an IV and room air through a cannula which are both gone now since the weekend. He is now up to 2lbs 14 1/4oz! We started Kangaroo Care this past Sunday and it's the best 30 minutes of my day everyday!
I delivered so early due to pre-e. I was ok but in the hospital being monitored and out of no where it became life threatening. My kidneys were in failure and my liver was starting to shut down. They said at this hospital and my Dr.'s practice that they'd never seen anyone make such a dramatic change for the worse so quickly. I went from +2 Protein in my urine to +9 in under 12 hours. I didn't realize I was that sick. I was actually hoping and thinking they may send me home on bedrest! What did I know? I was immediately put on Magnesium Sulfate to fend off seizures and they started inducing labor. But the pitocine did nothing. So after a few hours they decided they had no choice but to do an emergency c-section. I don't remember much as the Magnesium had me thinking I was Batman. What I do remember is my DS came out screaming and the Neonatologist was baffled. Because I was so sick and out of it, I didn't get to see my LO till he was 48 hours old and had finally been transfered out of Labor and Delivery and to the Maternity Ward. But the Nurse's in the NICU did take his picture and bring them to me so I could at least see his sweet little face.
My first week at home without my DS was sheer agony. I cried and was basically a nut job. My poor boyfriend. Luckily he knew it wasn't really me. I cried and cried and cried. It just didn't seem fair. You go to the hospital, have a baby and then you have to leave without him??? It just seemed wrong. It was the hardest ride of my life. But since starting the Kangaroo Care, I have been much better. I guess holding the little guy put my hormones back in check. I have no idea how long he'll need to stay in the hospital. I get a different guess from everyone I ask at the hospital. It ranges from 4-8 weeks. I still have moments where I want to cry, but I know I am so lucky. I gave birth 9 1/2 weeks early and the only problem he has is he's skinny and needs to pack on pounds. It could be so much worse.

Tribune reporter makes impact
I was out of the country when I learned the sad news about Matt Schuman's death. I had the privilege of knowing Matt when I was an avid tennis player, and I announced that the Greeley Tennis Championship of that year was going to be my last. Matt asked to have an interview with me. After our meeting, I realized that Matt was one of the most beautiful human beings I had ever met throughout my life. His smile, his words and the way he conducted his interview were something I will treasure for the rest of my life. Matt, you were an inspiration to everyone who knew you. Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed.

Congress must not wait on vote
Politics aside, I am very disappointed in Congress' unwillingness to give up a few days of vacation to vote on the Syrian crisis while the navy is on duty in the Mediterranean waiting for orders. I will certainly remember this come election time.

Immigrants make U.S. strong
Mr. Harrop's Aug. 31 letter to the editor made some sweeping generalizations about issues surrounding immigration reform and "the slide of America from the most powerful ... land of opportunity in human history toward becoming just another corrupt, bankrupt, pathetic welfare state." According to Mr. Harrop, the lack of enforcement of immigration laws over the decades, as well as the rampant immigration of what he refers to as the "uneducated masses" has not only ruined our country, but amounted to what he called "economic and cultural suicide." Since I believe in and welcome cultural diversity, I will not even attempt to address that aspect of his statement, as it would force me to go far beyond the scope of the 300-word limit. It is, however, extremely important to understand that during those same decades, our country experienced a plethora of policy changes at the national level, which significantly contributed to our current economic woes. These include, but are certainly not limited to: President Reagan's "trickle-down" economic policies of the 1980s, the repeal of the provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act in the 1990s (which were put in place during the Great Depression to separate commercial and investment banking), legislation creating numerous incentives for U.S.-based corporations to move their factories overseas (which has led to fewer jobs and lower wages here), the dramatic increase of imported products and so on. In other words, the economic woes of the United States over the decades cannot and should not be placed on the back of immigrants. Correlation is not causation, and it is unfortunate that Mr. Harrop views our country as "a corrupt, bankrupt, pathetic welfare state" when in fact we are still the greatest country on Earth because we welcome diversity and the exchange of ideas.
Karen Traxler, Greeley

Before I head off for the weekend, we have a bit of Friday news in the NFC East. The Dallas Cowboys have apparently agreed with free safety Gerald Sensabaugh on a five-year, $22.5 million deal of which $8 million is guaranteed. Calvin Watkins tells me it's a good deal for Sensabaugh, who's having a nice year for Dallas, because it gives him the stability he was seeking last year in free agency before he settled for the Cowboys' one-year offer. I love Calvin like a neurotic brother who calls me to complain when I don't like his stories enough, but he knows and I know there's no such thing as "stability" in NFL contracts. Still, good for Sensabaugh if this is what he wants. And I guess the Cowboys can cross safety off their offseason to-do list.
As for the programming note, and because I know you guys like to know what I'm up to...
I'm going to Dallas, obviously. Leaving tomorrow, having a nice Mexican dinner and maybe a beverage in Fort Worth and then going to the Giants-Cowboys game on Sunday night. Obviously I will be tracking the Redskins-Patriots game and the Eagles-Dolphins game and posting my thoughts on those as they end and throughout Sunday night and into Monday morning. But we all know it's all about Cowboys-Giants in the NFC East this week, and I'll be on the scene along with ESPNDallas.com and ESPNNewYork.com to get you all you need to know from there.
Enjoy the weekend.

City Showdown a winner: survey
- From: The Advertiser
- April 12, 2013
IF you're planning to go to future Showdowns at Adelaide Oval, it'll pay to get an early ticket.
An adelaidenow survey shows more than 40 per cent of respondents are more likely to attend future Showdowns when AFL moves to the Oval next year.
Avid football supporters have shared tips on who they believe will come away with the Showdown Medal, kick the most goals and perform the best ahead of tomorrow's Showdown XXXIV.
About 1500 people responded to the Showdown survey which revealed more than 40 per cent would prefer to watch a Port v Crows clash at football's new home, Adelaide Oval.
Despite this, about 50 per cent of fans said watching footy at AAMI Stadium or Adelaide Oval made no difference to their attendance.
Just 8 per cent said they were less likely to watch a Showdown when they are played in the city next year.
Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority general manager Darren Chandler said he believed the football experience at Adelaide Oval would be "second-to-none" for fans.
He said new features including barbecue facilities, standing room on the northern "mound" and a unique stadium design would complement the Oval's charm.
Port Adelaide cheer squad president Ian Wilson said he couldn't wait for the big move to Adelaide Oval next year.
"It's going to be easier for people access public transport... we'll be able to walk up the road to all the restaurants and cafes after the game," he said.
Survey respondents also overwhelmingly voted Crows midfielder Patrick Dangerfield as the favourite to come away with tomorrow's Showdown Medal (30 per cent). Port's Justin Westhoff was second, attracting 10 per cent of responses.
Brad Ebert, Travis Boak and Westhoff were tipped to be among the Power's best. Dangerfield was favourite (almost 48 per cent) for best on ground for the Crows.
Crows supporters group president Darryl Carter said Dangerfield was crucial to his side's chances of delivering him a predicted 10-point win.
"He needs to play his own game style, he plays a good team game," he said. "Scott Thompson seems to be good for the Showdown Medal or Tex (Taylor Walker), if he can bag a big number."
And as for Port Adelaide v Crows rivalry, almost 50 per cent of respondents said it was over-rated, answering it was "a bit over the top but not too bad".
Port Adelaide cheer squad president Ian Wilson had every confidence in the young Power team.
"I'll be down there leading everyone in the club song at about 7 o'clock tomorrow night when we win ... fingers crossed," he said.
While on the Crows camp, Mr Carter said his team will win the game - by a whisker.
"I think it will be 10 points to the Crows," he said.
It's a time-honoured Showdown tradition – throwing a snag on the barbie before the big game. Will you be sparking up the BBQ at Sunday's big clash? If so, we'd love to hear from you. Contact the Sunday Mail at firstname.lastname@example.com

My life in shoes
I look at a lot of runway photos during the collections. Through it all, one question – beyond whatever statement a designer is trying to make by placing his models on a post-apocalyptic beach (as Marc Jacobs did in New York) or draping them lovingly in sumptuous, nearly religious vestments as Dolce & Gabbana have done – nags me the most: Why are the models so sad?
In picture after picture, as the world's most gorgeous clothes float down a catwalk from the world's most gorgeous fashion capitals on the world's most gorgeous women, there is not one smile.
Let me just say for the record, if I were young enough and pretty enough and skinny enough to walk down a runway wearing one of those jaunty, joyful prints shown at Missoni in Milan, you wouldn't be able to stop me from smiling short of slapping me silly. My grin would stretch from ear to ear, and I'd probably be fired for ruining the depressed vibe of the show.
So, what's up, poor, beautiful, lithe models? Did you stay out too late? Are you tired from working show after show? (An exhausting job, to be sure.)
Or are you just hungry?
Because I don't get it.
I know, I know. There's style in a certain sense of distance on the model's face. An impassiveness that separates the model from the clothing and the model from the audience, giving the spotlight over completely to the designer and his vision. Besides, who looks cooler than a girl dressed to the nines acting like it's all a sham, as if all the hand-tailored, bedazzled and silken clothing in the world couldn't
fill the void in her soul.
C'est tragique!
But come on … did you see the fantastic bell-shaped printed dress at Peter Pilotto in London? Or the outrageous graffiti wall behind the models at DKNY in New York? What about the flirty folklorico dirndl skirt and peasant blouse at Alberta Ferretti in Milan? If that doesn't make a girl smile, I don't know what will.
Sure, there are a few outfits that would make me frown. One model at Prada in Milan was sent out in a black turtleneck with racing stripes around the breasts and what looks like a bird on her head. I get why she might not be the most cheerful girl on the spirit squad.
Maybe it's the designers who force the models to pout (not in a sexy Victoria's Secret way, either) and look bored, as if their parents took away their phones and locked down their Instagram accounts.
Whatever it is – and I am aware that saying this might place me squarely in the plebian side of fashion (where I can be tromped on by elitists wearing the latest "it" shoe) – I wouldn't mind seeing the runways filled with smiling (and maybe a tad less bony) models who seem happy to be there.

Ruxer (Indianapolis, Ind.) struck out six while scattering six hits without allowing a walk in a shutout performance equaling the second longest outing of his career. With Sunday's performance, he improved to 3-1 on the season and earned his 11th career win on the mound.
"It was really all about the changeup today because they were a left-handed dominate lineup. I knew the changeup would need to be working and it was," Ruxer said. "The message going after the first two games of the weekend was to attack the zone. I tried to get ahead of hitters and then finish them off."
In no inning on Sunday did Ruxer face more than one batter and the RedHawks never managed to get a runner to third against him. In his last two starts, Ruxer is 2-0 with a 1.38 ERA, 17 strikeouts, no walks in 13.0 innings pitched.
"From the first batter on, he (Ruxer) attacked the zone, he worked fast and he and (catcher) Kyle Gibson worked really well together today," said Louisville head coach Dan McDonnell. "Jared fought through a tough year last year, but he seems to be locked in right now which is exciting for our weekend rotation."
At the plate, senior outfielder Jeff Gardner (Louisville, Ky.) was 2-for-4 with his team-leading third home run of the season, a double and three RBI, while fellow senior outfielder Cole Sturgeon (Owensboro, Ky.) was 2-for-5 with a triple, one RBI and a scored once to pace the way. Junior infielder Grant Kay (Omaha, Neb.) chipped in with a single, two walks, an HBP, a stolen base and two runs scored, while junior shortstop Sutton Whiting (New Wilmington, Pa.) singled, stole a base and matched a career-high with three RBI.
The Cardinals (10-4) gained command early in Sunday's rubber game with a five-run second inning against Miami (4-8) righty starter Ryan Powers. Freshman outfielder Colin Lyman (Algonquin, Ill.) started the scoring with an infield RBI single to plate freshman second baseman Nick Solak (Woodridge, Ill.), who led off the inning with double down the left field line and moved to third on an error by RedHawks' shortstop Chad Sedio. Later in the inning, Lyman scored from third on a RBI groundout off the bat of Whiting for the 2-0 lead.
The scoring continued for Louisville in the second inning when senior third baseman Alex Chittenden (Indianapolis, Ind.), who reached base with a walk, scored on a RBI triple down the right field line by Sturgeon. After Sturgeon scored from third on a wild pitch, Kay earned his first walk of the day before scoring the final run of the inning on a RBI double to right center by Gardner.
Louisville pushed its lead to 7-0 in the sixth when Gardner crushed a 2-2 offering from reliever Jacob Banks sending it over the pine trees beyond the right field wall for his 17th career home run. Kay also scored on the two-run shot after extending the inning with his two-out single to left field. The Cardinals added the final two runs of the game in the seventh inning on a two-run single to right by Whiting.
Following Ruxer on the mound for the Cardinals on Sunday were freshman lefty Drew Harrington (Elizabethtown, Ky.), who had one strikeout in a scoreless inning of work, and junior righty Nick Burdi (Downers Grove, Ill.), who struck out the side in a scoreless ninth inning. Powers took the loss for the RedHawks and dropped to 1-2 on the season after allowing five runs, all earned, on five hits with three strikeouts and five walks in five innings.
Up next, Louisville will host Western Illinois for a two-game midweek series on Tuesday at 3 p.m., ET and Wednesday at noon at Jim Patterson Stadium. Admission is free for both games with the Leathernecks.

'The Fault in Our Stars' a story about what we expect from stories
On vacation with my daughter Zoe last week, I read her favorite book, John Green's 'The Fault In Our Stars,' making me about the nine-millionth person to do so.
Green's story about the romance between teens Hazel and Augustus (Gus), who both have cancer, was as good as Zoe billed it. Only a smart teen with cancer could truly answer the question of how realistic "Fault" is, but I found it completely plausible and convincing, deeply romantic and witty. Knowing how much Zoe, a lifelong fussbudget with high standards, likes "Fault," none of that surprised me. »Read Full Blog Post
Stratford plays tackle worlds gone berserk
Stratford, Ontario — I'd barely settled into my seat for Pete Townshend's "Tommy" — first of nine plays that I saw during a recent visit to the Stratford Festival — when the tone was set for my week to come.
As the orchestra let loose with "Overture: 1941," director Des McAnuff's technologically sophisticated backdrop featured bombs crashing down on London during the Blitz. Downstage, Tommy's parents and uncle looked small and lost while muddling through as best they could, trying to make sense of a world gone berserk. »Read Full Article
TWC says no to rebates asked by Senate president in Journal Broadcast dispute
Time Warner Cable offered a boilerplate negative response to a request by state Senate President Mike Ellis (R-Neenah) that it give rebates to customers affected by the blackout of Journal Broadcast Group stations in the state.
"It is clear your customers are no longer receiving the service they are paying for," Ellis wrote in a letter to the company last Friday. »Read Full Blog Post(58)
Pizza Man to open July 29
Pizza Man today answered the question on its fans' lips: Monday will be opening day at its new location, 2597 N. Downer Ave.
The two-story Downer Ave. site (with a chandelier made of wine bottles in the staircase) has a second-story veranda for summer dining (photos below). The popular east side restaurant's original location, on E. North Ave., was destroyed by fire in 2010. It had been open since 1970. »Read Full Blog Post(13)

Before Colectivo, we were already mourning Alterra
I got a note of congratulations and a pound of Alterra Coffee from my new boss at the Journal Sentinel when I accepted my job at the paper in 2000. She told me that if I wanted to get to know Milwaukee, checking out the local Alterra cafes would be a good place to start. And so, when I came back to search for an apartment, the Alterra on Prospect was one of my very first stops. And I've never stopped stopping in. It is almost synonymous with Milwaukee itself, for me.
Today, I live four blocks from that cafe and have a cupboard that is never not stocked with one of its blends. »Read Full Blog Post

Hello guys. I am a student in the Algebra 2. I like math a lot since I was a kid. Unfortunately I have come to a point where I can no longer solve my algebra tasks on my own . I had a algebra private teacher, who helped me so far with my homework, but I had to pay a lot of money that I had to tell him not to come anymore. Today we learnt something new: how to work out scale factor, and when I came home from school I noticed that I can't do my algebra homework, and that freaked me out . I also still don't get 3x3 system of equations and graphing function. What should I do now? I love algebra and I don't want to have low grades.

A new study by Britain's IHS Janes defense and intelligence analysis agency confirms what many in the Intelligence community already believed: 50 percent of Syrian rebel forces are Islamist extremists.
The report estimates that 30,000 to 35,000 rebel fighters are hardline jihadists, 10,000 are affiliated with al Qaeda and around 30,000 belong to groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. The remaining are non-Islamic freedom fighters.
According to the study, up to 1,000 different groups are represented among the rebel forces.
Jonathan Spyer, a senior research fellow with the Global Research in International Affairs Center in Herzliya, recently told CBN News the three main groups are al Qaeda, the Syrian Islamic Liberation Front and the Tawid Brigade.
Spyer said the HIS Janes' report shows that the majority of rebel fighters are Sunni Islamists.

- Wayne Rooney (2), Juan Mata and Javier Hernandez give Manchester United 4-1 win - match report here
- Plane protest goes ahead, but Moyes handed huge support
- Coverage of all the 3pm games here
Good morning earthlings and welcome to our coverage of Manchester United vs Aston Villa.
And what a year ago would have been a largely comfortable lunchtime for the red side of Manchester, is far from easy now.
David Moyes remains defiant in the face of protests, with a plane sporting the banner 'Wrong One - Moyes Out' expected to be flying above Old Trafford pre-match.
Can the Scot pilot his team to success and relieve some of the pressure?
We'll find out here. Stay tuned.
After plenty of talk, here's what we're led to believe will be flying above Old Trafford ahead of the game.
But Moyes said he's not too fussed by the protest during his pre-match press conference yesterday.
"I've heard of it [the plane stunt] and what they're saying about it," said the United boss.
"People can do that. They are entitled to do that. It's a long journey here and this is just the start of the journey."
And here are the suggestions YOU, our dear readers, came up with yesterday.
As always there was a huge response on social media - some better than others.
Which of these is your favourite?
Flick through them here.
And there's no room for Tom Cleverley for Manchester United.
Just the five changes from David Moyes after that defeat to neighbours City.
Vidic, Buttner, Fletcher, Young & Kagawa come in, while Ferdinand, Evra, Carrick, Cleverley and Welbeck are replaced.
Two changes for Aston Villa as Clark & Albrighton are brought into the team.
- Man Utd: De Gea, Da Silva, Jones, Vidic, Buttner, Fellaini, Fletcher, Kagawa, Mata, Young, Rooney.
- Subs: Giggs, Hernandez, Carrick, Nani, Welbeck, Amos, Januzaj.
- Aston Villa: Guzan, Bacuna, Vlaar, Clark, Bertrand, Albrighton, Westwood, Delph, Weimann, Benteke, Agbonlahor.
- Subs: Bennett, Steer, Sylla, Tonev, Holt, Lowton, Robinson.
- Referee: Martin Atkinson (W Yorkshire)
Richard Scudamore, the Premier League chief, believes England's top league has been affected by Manchester United's slump.
"It's a double-edged sword," Scudamore told Bloomberg. "When your most popular club isn't doing as well, that costs you interest and audience in some places."
"There's lots of fans around the world who wish Manchester United were winning it again, but you have to balance that off against, generally, we're in the business of putting on a competition and competition means people can compete."
But Andy Dawson, Twitter's Profanity Swan, doesn't agree. He says it's the BEST thing to happen. And you can see why here.
Banner watch is continuing - 10 minutes to kick-off and no sighting...yet.
But that may just be about to change.
Here's an update from Flight HQ.
On the way— Airads Banners (@AiradsBanners) March 29, 2014
As the players stand in the tunnel, the plane is on its way.
But to David Moyes' credit he strides out with a beaming smile and he's ready for the battle.
The Chosen One banner remains and the Moyes comeback begins here.

Sir Alex Ferguson watching from the directors box, despite talk of supporters turning on him after the defeat at home to Manchester City.
Beautiful sunshine bathing Old Trafford. Things always feel a little more positive as spring arrives.
And the plane has arrived! BT Sport using that small on-screen box to provide live footage.
"It's not very classy from Manchester United fans," quips Michael Owen.
Meanwhile, it remains:
With the fun of plane-watch fizzling out, it's time to turn attentions to the pitch.
Not an excellent start from either side and no chances as of yet.
Rafael bundles into Ryan Bertrand to hand Aston Villa a free-kick, but it's easily cleared by Phil Jones.
Plane flies over Old Trafford with 'Wrong One Moyes Out' banner. Stunt roundly booed by Man Utd fans #MUFC— David McDonnell (@DiscoMirror) March 29, 2014
Bad news early for Manchester United as Phil Jones begins to limp, with Rio Ferdinand limbering up.
And moments later, the ever-so-slightly-rash Rafael concedes a free-kick on the edge of the box and gets booked. Unlike him.
Step up Ashley Westwood, who curls it into the right corner! What a strike.
The bad start gets even worse.
If only there was a way of showing dismay at the manager..
Most eyes at Old Trafford have been trained on the skies above for the plane carrying the banner 'Wrong One: Moyes Out' and the plane has circled the stadium on three occasions, the first time being roundly booed by Manchester United fans.
On the pitch there has been precious little to talk about. Neither side has developed any real fluency in terms of their play. A second plane has now flown over Old Trafford, with the banner 'Fergie Back in: Paddy Power'.
Rafael concedes a free-kick in bringing down Gabriel Agbonlahor and Ashley Westwood scores from the resulting free-kick.
And it's Alex Buttner's turn to get booked, conceding a free-kick on the right hand-side.
Beautiful, curling delivery comes in from Marc Albrighton and Ciaran Clark has a free header, sending it over De Gea's bar.
Villa sensing Manchester United nerves, perhaps.
But if there were any, they're gone now.
Wayne Rooney guides a free-header from Kagawa in off the post. Relief around Old Trafford. And a certain boss.
What an important goal that is likely to be from Wayne Rooney.
Manchester United looked a little edgy in the early stages and could have been a couple behind.
Now, with that equaliser from Rooney, they're looking an awful lot more comfortable on the ball.
If you've not seen Westwood's early beaut, this should help you visualise it:
And that's a view shared by David McDonnell, our man at the game:
Wayne Rooney's equaliser, a header from a Shinji Kagawa cross, has eased the tension and frustration among Unietd fans following Ashley Westwood's 13th minute opener for Aston Villa.
Kagawa was allowed to cut in from the left and pick out Rooney, who was unmarked and who directed the ball from a standing position in off Brad Guzan's left-hand post.
Since the goal, United have passed the ball around with more assurance and purpose, with Villa in retreat.
Miguel Delaney has looked into the future and delivered his verdict.
And it's hard to disagree.
Despite Aston Villa being far from safe, this has the feel of a dead-rubber match at the end of the season. Or maybe it's just the weather.
This has the feel of a 3-2 or so... either way. Open, goals in it, and Villa long realised there's not much to fear.— Miguel Delaney (@MiguelDelaney) March 29, 2014
Into the final ten minutes of the half and Aston Villa have a corner.
Clark's ball causes problems AGAIN and Benteke, up until now rather quiet, nearly profits but his header is weak.
More set-piece problems for Manchester United, who appear threatened with any corner or free-kick.
Meanwhile, here's out story on *that* plane with pictures and insight.
United have got through some turbulent air and are hoping for a smooth end to the half.
And it was, too. Bacuna brings down Juan Mata, and it's a chance for Manchester United to take the lead.
Step up Wayne Rooney, who fires it to the left of Guzan. Superb spot kick.
As Michael Owen tells us: "Now that was a penalty." Yes, Michael. Yes it was.
Half-time comes, and Manchester United lead 2-1.
It was all a little jittery to begin with, but Wayne Rooney's double makes David Moyes' walk back to the dugout a little more enjoyable than normal.
Westwood's free-kick was superb, as was Rooney's glancing header into the bottom corner.
But the England striker's penalty was inch-perfect.
And he may get a similarly generous reception heading to the dug-out before the start of the second half.
It's been a tough time for Moyes this season, but those who go to the games have been largely supportive of the manager.
Meanwhile, Michael Carrick comes on for Rafael, slotting in at centre-back, with Phil Jones at full-back.
And we're off, again!
Christian Benteke brings the ball down beautifully in front of goal, but he misses the kick towards goal.
What a chance to level.
And he has an even better chance to equalise minutes later. A HUGE leap over Vidic, but his header goes over.
Manchester United are still a little nervy. Another goal would fix that.

What makes it great: Fallon is being held up as a younger, hipper replacement for Jay Leno, and while he certainly fits seamlessly alongside the likes of Justin Timberlake, his tastes have usually trended towards the vintage, whether Springsteen, the Bee Gees or, in his final moments as host of "Late Night," the Muppets. Jamming first with The Electric Mayhem, then with a wide array of Muppets old and new, Fallon turned the bittersweet classic by The Band into a turning of the page that was as adorable as it was wistful. Plus, we're happy anytime anyone remembers how much Janice rocks.

text: Indestructible Aluminum Wallets Free Shipping - Sold by Menswallet Flag this deal What's the matter? Choose a reason Dead deal Duplicate Bad link Spam Inaccurate No value Alive again Edit deal globaldj Jun 03, 2012 wow, terrible reviews Reply slapsymaxi Jun 03, 2012 I had one that I got as a gag gift.... fell off my desk, and the aluminum cover off one side fell off... it had only been double-sided taped. Also, it's pretty unuseable for cash... You have to fold dollars into 3, which not only a pain, it gets thick, really limiting how much you can put in. Reply ancagavs Jun 03, 2012 This is awesome. You can run it over with the truck several times and nothing happens :) Reply MrBklynW Jun 02, 2012 this is a great price, cheapest i've seen them go for. Reply rd995 Jun 02, 2012 i dont think this is the original one from the commercial but for this price not bad to try one Reply munkin2u Jun 02, 2012 It's a good price for a cute novelty, though. It's at least somewhat useful! Reply themoneyman1113 Jun 02, 2012 Ha! Indestructible is a huge statement to make and reading some of the reviews I will respectfully pass on this wallet--- Reply 1 like blackfoot Jun 02, 2012 Good price for a lil added extra security. Reply gangstabarbie Jun 02, 2012 Indestructible ?? Are we sure about that ? How about we run it over with a huge truck ;) Reply krmills1 Jun 02, 2012 Haven't you seen the commercial for these yet? They show a truck running them over and nothing happens to them!! :) Reply 1 like zoneric Jun 03, 2012 I think I saw an ad for this. A truck running over the wallet, that's awesome:D Reply Load More Comments
