29 December 2010
A TALE OF TWO DENIALS Jeff Bagwell is telling Jerry Crasnick that he never used steroids and Rafael Palmeiro is making similar denials to Sports Illustrated. The difference is Palmeiro's positive test, which of course he still maintains is some sort of wacky mix-up. In light of their concurrent denials and Bagwell's clean slate, I expect Bagwell to be much closer to enshrinement. David Pinto correctly points out that "Denials, for some reason, have a way of making you guilty." Which is why Bagwell's confessed ambivalence regarding enshrinement also helps. Palmeiro hopes that the voters will look beyond his positive result and instead look at his record, a record that to their minds is tainted by the test result. He wants in. The fresh denial colors him delightfully desperate. But this is Bagwell's take:
"Here's my whole thing when people ask me about the Hall of Fame: Would I be honored to death to be in the Hall of Fame? Of course I would. But it doesn't consume me at all. I loved every single part of what I did as a baseball player. But I've got my kids, I've got my family, and getting in the Hall of Fame isn't going to affect my life one way or the other. And it won't make me feel any better about my career.
"So much has gone on in the last eight or nine years, it's kind of taken some of the valor off it for me. If I ever do get to the Hall of Fame and there are 40 guys sitting behind me thinking, 'He took steroids,' then it's not even worth it to me. I don't know if that sounds stupid. But it's how I feel in a nutshell."
Bagwell would rather be known for being clean than being in. Palmeiro would rather be in, even though all assume he's guilty.

Washington: US President Barack Obama will move cautiously into the debate over US immigration reform on Tuesday, seeking to build momentum for a new bipartisan plan to offer a pathway to citizenship for the country's 11 million illegal immigrants.
Reflecting the growing clout of Hispanic voters, Obama is travelling to Nevada little more than a week after his second inauguration to make the case for swift action by Congress to overhaul immigration laws.
The trip comes a day after a group of influential senate Democrats and Republicans laid out a broad plan of their own.
Obama said the plan shows "a genuine desire to get this done" and is "very much in line with the principles I've proposed and campaigned on for the last few years," according to excerpts from his prepared remarks provided by the White House.
"The good news is that—for the first time in many years—Republicans and Democrats seem ready to tackle this problem together," he will say.
Immigration reform could give Obama a landmark second-term legislative achievement but he must be cautious in his approach. His challenge is to help build public support for the senators' framework while not alienating his fiercest Republican opponents, who may resist anything with the Democratic president's name on it.
White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters on board Air Force One during the flight to Nevada that the senators' proposals were a "cause for hope."
"What you'll hear from the president today is how we need to take these initial positive steps and continue to move forward so that actual legislation is produced," he said.
Scheduled to speak at a Las Vegas high school at 11:55 a.m. PST (1955 GMT), Obama does not intend to unveil legislation of his own. He will instead urge lawmakers to press ahead with their efforts even as he restates the "blueprint" for reform he rolled out in 2011, which called for an "earned" path to citizenship, administration officials said. He will offer a few additional details, one official said.
The flurry of activity marks the first substantive drive in years to forge an agreement on fixing America's flawed immigration system. Although the debate is likely to be contentious, there is a growing consensus in Washington that the conditions are finally ripe for tackling the problem.
Obama and his fellow Democrats see their commitment to immigration reform as a way to solidify their hold on the Latino vote, which they won handily in the 2012 election. Nevada, for example, has a fast-growing Hispanic population that helped Obama carry the state in the November election.
Many Republicans, worried that their party has alienated Hispanics with anti-immigrant rhetoric, are suddenly open to cooperation on the issue as they seek to set a new tone.
"When the president addresses this issue Tuesday, I hope he will take a bipartisan approach rather than delivering another divisive partisan speech," senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement on Monday.
Building Support
The eight-member senate group includes John McCain, a Republican from the border state of Arizona; Charles Schumer, a centrist Democrat from New York; and Republican Marco Rubio of Florida, a Cuban-American favorite of the Tea Party movement who has helped garner support from influential conservatives.
In an attempt to build support, the senate proposal would couple immigration reform with enhanced border security efforts aimed at preventing illegal immigration and ensuring that those foreigners temporarily in the US return home when their visas expire.
Under the proposal, undocumented immigrants would be allowed to register with the government, pay a fine, and then be given probationary legal status allowing them to work.
Ultimately, these immigrants would have to "go to the end of the line" and apply for permanent status. But while waiting to qualify for citizenship, they would no longer face the fear of deportation or harassment from law enforcement if they have steered clear of illegal activity.
Obama's aides consider it a breakthrough that Republican members of the bipartisan group of senators have agreed to a path to citizenship, a concept that many in their party have long opposed as tantamount to amnesty for law breakers.
The White House remains wary, however. The president's aides have written up extensive legislative language for an immigration overhaul and will step in with their own formal proposals if the senate effort falls apart, an administration official said. There was also concern the senators' plan called for a more drawn-out route to citizenship than Obama would prefer.
One issue that could be a sticking point between the two sides: Obama's desire for the reform to cover gay and lesbians in same-sex relationships.
"The president has long believed that Americans with same-sex partners from other countries should not be faced with the painful choice between staying with the person they love or staying in the country they love," Carney said on Tuesday.
Immigration reform, sidelined by economic issues and healthcare reform during Obama's first term, is part of an ambitious liberal agenda he laid out in his second inaugural address. That agenda also includes gun control, gay rights and fighting climate change.
While Obama is likely to use the bully pulpit of the presidency, he likely will be more circumspect about how personally involved he becomes in congressional negotiations on immigration.
"The minute it becomes Obama's plan, the Republicans kick automatically into opposition," said Bill Schneider, a political scientist at George Mason University in Virginia. "The White House knows to back off for now." Reuters

For secretive companies, your health data means big money
Posted May 19, 2014
Raleigh, N.C. — For the last few months, Kaori Isaacson has been shopping as she normally does at stores like Harris Teeter, CVS and Rite Aid, scanning her loyalty cards for sale prices in the process.
Just a few weeks ago, she announced to family and friends that she was pregnant.
But thanks to those loyalty cards and other efforts to track data on consumers like her, strangers could have found out she was expecting long before even her closest relatives.
Isaacson's name was one of thousands WRAL reporters were able to purchase in an investigation into data mining companies. The lists, compiled and sold to everyone from corporate marketers to politicians, include names, addresses and health information gleaned from purchasing patterns.
Experts say there is little protection for ordinary consumers, many of whom don't know data about their battles with diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and even depression are being sold for just pennies per person.
"It is actually shocking and scary that somebody can buy my information," Isaacson said.
A lot of what data mining companies compile starts with long privacy policies most consumers don't read when they sign up for online services from retailers, social media applications or banks. Many of these policies grant companies the right to sell consumer information for almost any purpose.
Although federal law protects medical information patients provide to doctors, pharmacists and health insurance companies, what consumers buy or search online might indicate certain health conditions.
That data, although not always accurate, can be incredibly valuable to groups looking to get their products or messages out to the right people.
"Consumers are helpless," Sarah Ludington, a Campbell University law professor who specializes in free speech and privacy, said. "They have almost no legal mechanism for keeping control of their information or for getting an effective remedy if their data has been misused."
Ludington began researching data mining techniques back in 2006. Since then, a U.S. Senate Commerce Committee investigation found data brokers collect a "huge volume of detailed information on hundreds of millions of consumers" and "operate behind a veil of secrecy." The Federal Trade Commission is also looking into the issue.
But Ludington said in all that time, there's been very little progress toward any sort of regulation over the data mining industry.
"Nothing's changed. That's what surprises me the most," Ludington said. "There isn't yet a meaningful law that protects consumer privacy."
More often than not, Ludington said decisions about how to use this data – and decisions about what to disclose to consumers – are left up to secretive companies with little oversight.
"This is the problem of having no laws. The company that possesses all that information, it's up to them whether they want to let consumers see it or not," Ludington said. "And most of them have said 'no.'"
Ludington said consumers can take steps to protect their information by avoiding online surveys, adjusting privacy settings on their Web browsers and being more aware about using loyalty cards at retailers.
"Think twice when you use your customer loyalty card whether there's anything you don't want people to remember," Ludington said.
That's likely what landed 61-year-old Marilyn Bruner on a list of supposedly pregnant women.
The devoted caretaker of a brightly colored cockatoo named Maggie, Bruner had to think hard before realizing the baby food she buys is probably what led data miners to their incorrect conclusion.
"Maybe that's why they think I'm pregnant," Bruner said. "I buy it for the bird."

Easter in the Morgan household as a child was an imprecise affair.
Chocolate eggs were purchased several days after the main event because they were usually half price; sometimes those oeufs that actually came from a hen were painted, on other occasions they were not, rarer still they were rolled down a hill somewhere in the Mournes. It didn't happen that often so I can't be certain.
Church was a definite no-no given that my mother is and my father was a heathen. But to him, no prod of Satan's trident would ever sting quite as much as a failure to have a bet on the Irish Grand National. This was a peculiar phenomenon in itself since you couldn't actually watch the race in Northern Ireland - not quite true, actually, but it required an (illegal?) RTE aerial pointed somewhere at the south in order to take in the race and ours swept off the roof one particularly blowy autumn never to be replaced.
Loading article content
Often the only means of hearing the race was on the car radio during weekends away in Westport or Donegal, but on one Easter Monday my father drove 50 miles closer to the border just so that he could pick up the frequency.
And for what? I can't remember but I don't recall it being a race in which he was prolific at picking winners and, anecdotally at least, he had a pretty good record. We heard these things - like the time he sold a Linotronic typesetting machine and stuck the cash on Dawn Run to win the Gold Cup. So, what was it? I can only guess that it was him doing what his father had always done. Much like I'll be doing this week.
The Irish National is one for the trends, much like its English counterpart. However, there is a much narrower range that comes into play and I've failed more than once trying to narrow the field. That said, this is my preferred method when it comes to the horses and it stood me in good stead a fortnight ago for the Aintree race when Pineau De Re was a selection.
Just as is the case for the Grand National we can call on a whole plethora of stats to whittle the field down. These are readily identifiable from a rudimentary internet search and reveal favourable trends for Irish and French bred horses, those aged 6-9, those carrying 10st 8lb or less, those with a rating of 128-140, horses that have won over three miles, stats pertaining to freshness and value of races won.
It is particularly interesting to note that a horse such as Jim Dreaper's Goonyella sits near the head of the market yet has not placed or won a chase worth at least £19,000, a trend that has been shared by the last 10 winners of the race. Having been confronted with a field that was listed before the five-day declarations, I've had to be pretty brutal in my considerations but by applying those trends listed above I was able to take draw up a list of six.
Those horses are Tammy's Hill, Gallant Oscar, Daring Article, Letter Of Credit, Sraid Padraig and Saoirse Dun. Of these, I'm not sure the latter has the stamina for the trip and Letter Of Credit is susceptible to the £19,000 race trend (although it has placed in one there are other concerns, chiefly getting the distance).
That leaves Tammy's Hill, Gallant Oscar, Daring Article and Sraid Padraig. If we take the horses with trainers that have previous in the race, namely Tony Martin and Jonjo O'Neill, that's a positive for Gallant Oscar and Sraid Padraig. But lesser-known Irish trainers have a good record in the race and Liam Lennon's Tammy's Hill comes here following a hugely impressive performance at Cheltenham.
The pick is Tammy's Hill at 12s with shouts for Sraid Padraig at 20s and Gallant Oscar at 14s as each-way bets.
Quite how Aberdeen blew it last weekend is anyone's guess but suffice to say it cost me dearly. That said, we're still in profit at £51.72.

Senna Lip Lacquer Long Lasting 'A' List Favorite Reviews
Surprisingly niceNever having tried any products from Senna, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by how flattering the color was and how non-sticky the gloss was after application. It also had quite a bit of staying power. I got this in the sample program, and it will definitely be a future purchase. — 5 years, 3 months agoradar626 | 326 reviews
On the Fence...Very GlitteryI absolutely love the color I received Rock Candy in my sample box. The only concern I have is there might be an issue with the glitter that's in the gloss. I'm almost fifty so it could look silly on me as a full lip gloss but maybe I could just use some in the center of my bottom lip. — 3 years, 4 months agojmcg4334 | 3 reviews

Great Nude Lip LookI'm not big on the nude lip look, but if one wanted to acheive a super shiny, nude lip look, this gloss is THE one. I tried it out and it was flavor-free, smelled subtly nice (slightly reminiscent of vanilla, but very light), and was only mildly sticky. With a gloss, it's hard to not have some sticky. But I've definitely used other glosses that were waaaay stickier. My daughter really likes this gloss and it looks more natural for her. — 5 years, 3 months agojean_clark_lynd | 4 reviews

Child support enforcement decree pact OK'd
A 2013 cooperative agreement with the Washington County Community Services Department and Sheriff's and County Attorney's offices was approved Tuesday by the Board of Commissioners.
The new agreement is the same agreement as in past years. Community Services, the WCSO and County Attorney worked together to serve more than 7,000 families needing child support and collected almost $26 million in child support.
The agreement is required by state law and helps compensate costs the child support agency and other county offices incur providing child support enforcement services.
County renews contract with Tubman
Tubman will continue providing shelter, crisis intervention, counseling, advocacy, help with orders of protection for victims and families of domestic violence along with community presentations under a contracted renewed Tuesday by the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
The contract is expected to cost $155,000. Tubman works with the county as the contact point for the lethality assessment protocal, a risk assessment tool used by law enforcement officers in the county to help identify dangerous offenders in domestic violence cases and connect victims with services.
Tubman has worked with 484 criminal cases and assisted with 74 protection orders through September. The agency is on track for increased numbers over 2011 with one quarter of the year remaining.
Board OK's, extends environment-related contracts
Two environment-related contracts were approved Tuesday by the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
The board extended an agreement with Dynamic Recycling to continue processing electronic waste received by the county's Environmental Center in Woodbury. Dynamic Recyling has processed electronic waste at the center since it opened in fall 2009. Last year, Dynamic recycled nearly 1.7 million pounds of electronic waste collected at the center and remote sites.
The contract extension costs an estimated $200,000. The fee is paid from county environmental charge revenue and a state grant.
Commissioners also approved a contract with Olsen, Thielen & Co. to audit the county environmental charge.
The audit includes a review of waste haulers and waste transfer stations. From Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, the company audited 31 waste haulers and transfer stations for compliance. The 2013 audit will revisit some previously reviewed firms and any newly-licensed haulers.
The CEC is a 37.5 percent charge on garbage service that's been collected since the mid-1980s. CEC revenue is used for waste services such as the Environmental Center, household hazardous waste collection, recycling grants to cities and townships, environmental education and operation of the Newport resource recovery facility.
Board renews juvenile therapy programs
Contracts for multi-systemic therapy for juveniles were approved Tuesday by the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
MST offers community-based, in-home therapy for high-risk juvenile offenders and their families for three to five months. The services specifically focus on reducing out-of-home placement costs and preventing new offenses committed by juvenile offenders.
Forty-eight families have participated in MST since 2011, with all youths referred to the program facing two months or longer of out-of-home placement. Eighty percent of the youths involved in MTS continued to live at home, 92 percent attended school and 83 percent were not arrested for a new offense.
The program was extended to families served by Community Services, with five families using the service.
Cost of MTS oversight is a maximum of $45,000 and includes programming, clinical supervision and training costs for one year. The maximum costs for therapy-related services is $183,000.
Company to provide drug testing, monitoring
RS Eden will provide drug testing, electronic home monitoring, GPS and all transdermal alcohol testing, include the transdermal alcohol device under a contract approved Tuesday by the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
The services cost $93,400 and will be used by Community Corrections Department juvenile and adult division agents.
Walter re-appointed to RCWD board
John Walter of Hugo was re-appointed to a three-year term on the Rice Creek Watershed District Board of Directors Tuesday by the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
Walter's appointment was recommended by District 1 Commissioner Dennis Hegberg and is for a term expiring Jan. 18, 2016.
Under state law, watershed districts deal with several water-related issues including groundwater protection and regulations.

No visible prospects for resolving situation in Syria - Gatilov
Citing one of the reasons for this, Gatilov said that "our Western partners do not conduct sufficient work with the opposition."
The diplomat reminded of Russia's stance that all issues should be resolved by the Syrians themselves, without imposing any model from the outside, while the international community should make every effort to persuade the two sides to sit down to the negotiating table.
"The goal is to attain a political solution to the Syrian crisis, to convince both sides to seek solutions to the problems that have accumulated in the country, and eventually begin to outline their country's future," added Gatilov.
The conflict between the government and the armed opposition in Syria has raged unabated since March 2011. According to the UN, some 60,000 people have died in that period in the country.
Voice of Russia, RIA
The Syrian National Council (SNC), which is the largest group in the opposition coalition, has confirmed that it rejects any dialogue with the authorities.
Earlier, Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib, head of the National Coalition of opposition and revolutionary forces, of which the SNC is a part, stated he was willing to engage in dialogue with Syria's Vice-President Farouk al-Shara.
Previously, al-Khatib had voiced readiness to start talks with the Syrian authorities under the condition that 160,000 prisoners in Syria be released.
The UN and the Arab League also insist on the negotiations.
The conflict between the government and the armed opposition in Syria has continued since March 2011.
According to the UN, in that period some 60,000 people have died.
Voice of Russia, RIA
Andrey Fedyashin, Alexei Lyakhov
On Tuesday, Syrian National Coalition head Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib confirmed his readiness to meet Syrian Vice President Faruq al-Sharaa. Initially, Al-Khatib urged Damascus to start direct talks with the opposition on January 30, a proposal that was downplayed by President Bashar Assad.
Al-Khatib called on the Syrian authorities to sit down at the negotiating table during his last week's interview with the Al Arabiya and Al Jazeera news networks.
Meanwhile, Russian experts remain at odds over the latest steps by the Syrian opposition. Some describe them as positive signals, while others see them as another unacceptable ultimatum to President Assad.'
They are echoed by Boris Dolgov, of the Moscow-based Institute for Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who says that Assad is unlikely to give the go-ahead to the talks.
"The opposition's attempts to deliver ultimatums are counterproductive steps," Dolgov says, "stressing the importance of forming what he calls a real opposition. The Syrian National Coalition is yet to be recognized by all the armed opposition groups, which is why speaking of political feasibility of the talks is irrelevant."
Some opposition groups from the Syrian National Coalition are up in arms against the negotiations with Damascus. They have already dubbed al-Khatib's proposal a treacherous act.
Sergei Demidenko, of the Institute of Strategic Assessments and Analysis in Moscow, underscores the need to begin the talks as soon as possible. The problem is that the Syrian opposition's lineup is very diverse, Demidenko says.
"It would be naïve to think that the possible talks could drastically change the situation in Syria," he says. "The opposition's lineup is diverse, namely, those who call for talks with Bashar Assad cannot be called the most active part of the opposition. Its most influential members are the Islamists who are loath to sit at the negotiating table."
It is not accidental that al-Khatib decided to meet al-Sharaa, who belongs to the Sunni branch of Islam. The Sunnis account for more than half the population of Syria, which is not the case with the Alawites, who make up only 16 percent of the country's population, among them Bashar Assad. Some say that the Alawites are a separate religious group that has nothing in common with Islam.
As for al-Sharaa, he has repeatedly called for talks with the opposition, something that prompted the Arab League and the UN to see him as a possible successor of Bashar Assad.
Mass anti-government protests began in Syria in the spring of 2011. Several months later, they turned into a civil war. The opposition groups are armed and sponsored by some Arab countries. According to some sources, up to 10,000 people have died in violence in Syria since 2011.

Our minds all fresh and free.
We marvel at the many decks
As we leave the shore.
The ship is full of wonders.
No man could ask for more.
And some will find the finest suites
And live with wealth and fame,
And some will search the lowest decks
For births that bear their name.
A few will dine in supper clubs
And drink of vintage wines,
But most will find much plainer fare
And stand in crowded lines.
That ship will visit many lands
With tours to fill the day,
And some may marvel at the sights
And wish that they could stay.
There on the many decks, we meet
Both family and friends.
Perhaps we find our mates for life
Until our journey ends.
But sad it is, at every port,
A few of us must stay,
While others savor robust life
To cruise another day.
There's much to do for every one
With activities glore,
To work, to play and to compete,
To strive and reach for more.
But some of us will spend our days
Just gazing at the sea,
Not thinking of what might have been
Or the person we could be.
There may be storms along our path
With winds to rip and tear,
But with the Captain on the bridge,
There will be naught to fear.
And when our cruise comes to its end
And we can sail no more,
We'll meet the Captain on the deck
To escort us to the shore.
For, when, at last, we disembark
Great joy will ease our pain,
For in another time or place,
Our ship will sail again!

Central's Jerome runs wire-to-wire to win Anna Banana
Central's David Jerome got out of the gates fast during Saturday's Anna Banana Invitational at Connected Lakes State Park.
It was just the opposite of the way he had performed in most of his races this season, when Jerome ran farther back in the pack and made a late push to finish well.
Jerome's quick start put him ahead of the pack, a position held until he crossed the finish line first in 16 minutes, 31 seconds.
"I started a little too fast and I didn't think I would have the energy to keep going," Jerome said. "I didn't know how close everyone else was, but I could hear them and they sounded pretty close."
One of the biggest challenges when running ahead of the pack is not losing focus and letting the other runners catch up. It's something Jerome's coach Derek Brown said he did well.
"I am glad he didn't fall asleep. It is hard to run in front and not let your guard down," Brown said. "I was happy he kept pressing because when he had three guys behind him at the 2-mile mark maybe 10 seconds behind, they are racing and he is out there in no-man's land, so it was nice to see him finish."
Pushing Jerome were Fruita Monument's Woody Seagren and Grand Junction's Wyatt Colloty, who finished second and third, respectively, at 16:39 and 16:53.
"The second mile, me and Wyatt tried to speed up and catch him, but it was hard because of the gravel," Seagren said of the half-paved and half-gravel course at Connected Lakes.
"The last mile I tried to catch him but I just didn't have it. He had a good race today."
Although Seagren wasn't able to catch Jerome for the top spot, he helped the Wildcats achieve their big goal, which was to win the team title in their home race.
Five Wildcats finished in the top 10, including Tyler McDermott, James Mauch, Jordan Potterton and John Zamora, propelling the Fruita team score to a solid 31.
Grand Junction finished second on the boys side with consistent performances outside of the top 10 from Levi Hamer (14th, 18:08), Kevin Martin (16th, 18:18) and Cyrus Pearo (18th, 18:24).
Palisade's top runner was Dustin Martin, who finished 24th at 18:39.
After the boys race was the girls race, with Hotchkiss's Johanna Reed completing a three-peat of the Anna Banana, finishing first at 19:20 for the third straight year.
Reed, who is only a junior, shaved about 20 seconds off her winning time from 2007, which is something she was happy about.
"I am really excited," Reed said. "I had been struggling this season, so it feels good to come back and race well."
It was Reed's first win of the season.
Just behind Reed were Fruita's top runners. Olivia Daniels finished second at 19:37 and Kasey Mortensen came in third at 19:50.
"(Reed) is a tough, smart runner," Mortensen said. "She gets out quick and holds her pace. Olivia and I couldn't keep up with her."
Just as the boys runners had done, consistency from Fruita girls earned them the team title with a score of 35.
Grand Junction's top runner, Kelsey Slauson, finished fourth at 19:59. Central's Cory Swim was sixth with a 20:55 and Palisade's Auelicia Guzman finished 25th at 22:59.
"There were three great races today," Fruita Monument coach Herb Huskey said. "The citizen's race is always a great start with all the support and everyone had a great time."

Other team members include TJ Hannifin, Ryan Smith, Axel Pearson, Jeremy Purvines, Curtis Bradley, Jesse Canepa, and Todd Abrotowski.
Tim Pilg, American Beta Marketing Manager had this to say about the new association with Purvines Racing, "We are very pleased to have reached an agreement with Purvines Racing for 2013. Ron Purvines has proven to us that he runs a solid team effort that we fell will work very well with our racing efforts as it will help us develop our products for the Hare and Hound and desert style of events. We will be working closely with Ron to make sure the bikes are ready for the start of the season. The team will be racing 450 and 498 RR 4-strokes as well as our new 250 RR 2-strokes. It should be a great year for both Ron's team and Beta Motorcycles and we are looking forward to seeing our bike in the Hare and Hounds as well as Best In The Desert series."
American Beta will be providing the team with some Factory support as well as some cross-over sponsorship through their current team supporters. Beta will also use Purvines feedback to further develop their bikes for the American market. For 2013 Beta offers a total of twenty-four models including eight off-road, three Dual Sport, three Supermoto, and ten Trials bikes.
Team owner Ron Purvines explains, "Purvines Racing is excited to be a part of the Beta family. We're going into our third season with an amazing partnership. We've worked hard to build our team and reputation in the off-road racing industry and believe that Beta is equally committed as we are to the sport. After 35 years of racing and 2 years of being a team owner it is a pleasure to be associated with a company that has the same integrity and dedication to racing that I have."

Finishing off the last of this tea that TeaEqualsBliss sent to me – thank you!
Bright and delicious. The pomegranate is sweet and tart, but not too tart. It tastes like … well… pomegranate! This tea starts out with very little astringency, but it develops as I continue to sip. Not a bad thing though, as long as you don't mind astringency (I don't mind it at all, as long as it's not overwhelming)
I like that I can taste tea and pomegranate. The black tea is brisk and bright, and the fruity flavor of the pomegranate doesn't taste artificial. It's a good cuppa.

During the financial crisis many governments aided both the financial and non-financial sectors in their countries on an unprecedented scale. These emergency measures have in some cases taken precedence over competition rules. In particular the fact that governments helped some banks but not others has weakened competition in some markets, with "too big to fail" institutions commanding a higher market share than previously. This has
In this interview, Prof Zheng, a renowned Chinese expert on pensions, discusses the necessary reforms – in particular tax reforms – that are needed in order to further develop private pensions in China.

Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Thank you for choosing Just Answer. My name is Jack and I can assist today.
Congress created the TSA to implement airport screenings. After a number of terrorist threats all airports over the years U.S. Airports are required to implement security procedures. These include the x-ray device and body searches including strip searched if necessary. The TSA has criteria for whom gets searched and also does random searches. They effectively have the ability to act as they deem appropriate.
In 1973 the 9th Circuit Court ruled in U.S. vs Davis, 482 F.2d 893, 908, that the TSA has the power to search essentially any way they choose. In this ruling the Court found "noting that airport screenings are considered to be administrative searches because they are conducted as part of a general regulatory scheme, where the essential administrative purpose is to prevent the carrying of weapons or explosives aboard aircraft."
Per the court's ruling The 4th Amendment protections against searches do not apply to TSA searches. The search of your daughter was not an illegal search.
The question is not whether entering or exiting the U.S. all passengers boarding flights originating in U.S. are subject to searches. Your daughter could have refused the search, but she would not have been able to board the aircraft.
I know this was not the result you wanted to hear but it the law and could save you the aggravation of hearing a judge quote you the same case law. I would ask that in rating please rate my work and not the fact the law is not in your favor.
Please accept this answer with a rating of 3 or higher so I can credit for my work. If you have further questions please ask. Even though a deposit was made you must rate me at 3 or better so I can get compensated.

November 13, 2008
Look, normally when a chick, who you don't want to see again, holds your cell phone ransom until you do, you take the loss, cancel your account, and get a new phone. But I needed my lost phone: It had all my contacts in it, and I was too lazy to back them up anywhere else.
So, basically, if I wanted to see my phone again I had to see Donna again.
Yesterday, I made an appointment to meet her for coffee. I texted her so I wouldn't have to deal with any potential nastiness, and I picked a heavily trafficked, public spot just in case she decided to go ape shit on me.
Donna dressed up as if we were going on a date and wore lots of makeup. She looked hot, but I was starting to think she might be a few forks short of a full cutlery set.
"You look great," I told her.
"You look better."
I purposely did not wear a hat or sunglasses because I didn't want her to think I was hiding my identity. This charade had gone on long enough and had to stop today.
"Thanks for meeting me here on short notice."
"I thought you wouldn't show up. I'm glad you did. You probably have a million more important people to meet, Luke."
"Look, there's something you should know."
"Of course, anything. We're friends. Or maybe more than that."
"Good. See. I'm not Luke Wilson. My name is Zach Randle." I took my wallet out of back pocket and showed her my license. "This has been a big misunderstanding. We were both drunk and I think we got carried away in the moment. I hope I haven't offended you."
She looked at my documentation then back at me. "Why are you doing this?"
"I just think it's only fair that you know the truth."
"You don't have to hide from me. I won't tell anyone, I swear. The press, the paparazzi, they mean nothing to me. I understand you have to protect your privacy. I haven't told a soul." Then she waved her finger and sang in a creepy, sing-song voice, "I'll never tell."
"Right. But see there's nothing to tell. I'm not Luke Wilson. I'm just an ordinary schmo."
Confused, she sat back in her chair and squinted her eyes. I assumed the truth was finally running through her fanatical brain. Then she leaned forward and whispered. "I understand what you're doing now. How stupid of me. Did somebody follow you here? Are we being taped?"
"Let's go out the backdoor, away from all these 'customers.' "
"I think we should stay here."
"Come on!" She grabbed by hand and pulled me up, then we snuck to the back and went into an alley. Donna hugged me.
"This is so exciting! Like a movie."
"Donna, please."
"Do you think they got a photo of us together? That would be wild. I mean, I would deny everything, I swear. But it would just be so funny if we were on TMZ and stuff."
She kissed me on the lips, jamming her tongue down my esophagus. "I want you inside me again."
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"Take me, Luke."
"I'm not Luke!"
But it was too late. Her skirt was up over her waist and my pants were at my knees. I'd never had sex standing up. It's one of those things you always see in the movies, but no one ever does in real life. Now I know why. It was totally uncomfortable.
When we were done, Donna took my phone out of her purse. She was about to hand it to me when she said, "One more date."
She put the phone back in her purse. "I want you to take me out one last time and I'll give you your phone back."
"We can go out again, just give me my phone."
"How do I know you won't just disappear like you did last time?"
"I wouldn't do that."
"Why? Do you like me? You don't have to answer that. That was very inappropriate. I'm sorry. It's like I'm trying to be cool, but it's hard, you know?"
I almost felt sorry for her. "Okay. One more date, but I'm going out of town this week and I need the phone back."

Based in Sussex, Wis., Jerry Kienast is service director for the Reinders dealership – four brick-and-mortar locations plus a half dozen mobile mechanics. We caught up with him to get some winter mower maintenance tips.
1. Stay on schedule. Each piece of equipment comes with an operators guide with a recommended maintenance schedule. Follow it. "That's the biggest thing I would recommend," Kienast says.
2. Sweat the small stuff. Hour totals, spark plugs, timing belts, oil changes. They're minor and cheap to replace, at least compared to an entire machine. "Next thing you know, they're calling me needing a new $9,000 or $10,000 engine," he says.
3. Don't get hosed. Oil, gasoline, hydraulic fluid. Engines run on wet stuff. And you need good hoses to get those fluids from point A to point B. Regularly check tubing – especially if it's exposed to the sun – for cracks or broken seals.
4. Don't forget. A lot of grease points are hidden from easy view, especially on axles. So are brakes and the seals on your differential. They're easy to overlook, but a problem could knock you out for a few days.
5. Keep clean. To see where a machine might be leaking, Kienast steam cleans it and then runs it for a few minutes. "It just looks dirty, but after you've cleaned it you see the oil," he says.
6. Keep a record. If you get into a spot and can't fix the machine yourself, make sure you let the mechanic know what's wrong. "Talk to the operator and tell me what's wrong with it. There's nothing worse than going all the way through a winter maintenance check not knowing that on a hard left turn the machine starts to stubble," Kienast says. "I want to make sure you're profitable. That's my job. If I have a good road map for success, I'm going to get you there."

Albion ace Will Buckley has signed a new four-and-half-year contract.
The influential winger's deal was due to expire at the end of next season but the Seagulls have now tied him down until June 2017.
Buckley has been in scintillating form since signing from Watford for £1 million two summers ago, sparking fears he could attract interest from Premier League clubs during the January transfer window.
Boss Gus Poyet told The Argus: "This is a clear indication that we are doing everything possible to keep our best players and Buckley has been one of them. He had 18 months left on his contract and we want him to stay with us, because we believe in our project and the future.
"When we signed him he was a very good prospect with many qualities. We have worked with him and he has improved a lot in the last 18 months. He is going to get better and better so I am delighted with the agreement and that he is happy at the club. I think it sends a nice message to everybody."
Buckley, 24, scored eight goals in 35 outings last season, including a late double to turn defeat into victory in Albion's historic first match at The Amex against Doncaster Rovers.
He has already hit five goals in 20 appearances this season and has been frightening Championship defences with his pace and directness down the right flank.
In November, after he teased and tormented Leeds, Poyet claimed Buckley is better than Crystal Palace's £10 million rated England newcomer Wilfried Zaha and insisted he was not for sale at any price.
Buckley said: "I've played my best football at Brighton so it was a no-brainer to place my future here, playing in front of massive crowds now week in, week out.
"That's why I came to the club, to stay here for the long-term, so it was quite an easy decision.
"I am just glad it's all sorted now. It got sorted out quite quickly as well. Once Brighton offered me the contract it was only a matter of weeks before we reached agreement.
"It takes a bit of focus off contracts and stuff and now I can just concentrate on playing. Speculation can be unsettling, although it doesn't really faze me too much."

When Riccardo Tisci first got his gig as creative director for Givenchy in 2005, the fashion world seemed to collectively furrow its brow. At the time, president and CEO Marco Gobetti defended the brand's choice with light concession: "A lot of people say: 'He is very young,' but I think he's ready for it." Needless to say, Tisci exceeded the expectations of the media (and perhaps even Gobetti himself) having prolifically, feverishly, released successful designs with every new season for the French luxury brand.
Interesting that some nine years later – with the whole Rottweiler thing about three years behind him – "youth" is still a term integral to Tisci's work. I met the designer in a domestically-furnished SoHo hotel last week, with Nike having offered me the opportunity to speak with the 39-year-old creative regarding the Nike + R.T. collection. While his lengthy list of accolades and achievements can be intimidating, Tisci has a boyish excitement, an honesty about him that is refreshing – especially when talking about fashion. The below details our short, but insightful conversation, which covers his inspiration for design, classic kicks in history, and the versatility of his work.
In your recent interview with Complex you mentioned that the shoe is more detail-driven, that you wanted to keep the shoes as true to the classics as possible. So, do the details – the color scheme, Swoosh detailing, tab below the laces – have particular significance to you?
When they asked me to do this project – because I've been wearing these shoes for so many years, and I have such respect for Nike – I did a lot of variations. So when they asked me, I could do whatever I wanted, I could completely change the sole, the shape, etc. But I thought: it's such an iconic thing, and I've worn it for so many years, [it'd be] a pity to destroy this. It's like when someone gives you something beautiful, and you just destroy it. So, [I kept the shoes]. What I brought was new ways: the triangular perforation [on the toe box], the details, the cut. I brought the intensity of my style in collaboration with Nike. Nike is the shoe, and [I've put] this mask on top. Originally, they're empty and they're clean. [It's about] the base of the shoes, the roots, and then my part on top of [that]. It was very important to be faithful and respectful of the roots and what was being given to my hands; I think when things are beautiful and good, they should never change. I think for me, I've brought what today's generation wants from me and Nike.
You've mentioned before the importance of ubiquity in this project, that you want everyone to have access to the shoes – especially given your "normal" background. In your opinion, does a shoe have the capability to unite various 'tribes' of people with different interests?
Absolutely, I think it does. There are a lot of shoes in history that have made their own tribes. Nike, Doc Martens, Kickers in the '90s, Clippers… All these made people believe in them. Of course, it's part of a look, but shoes are something very important. Especially for me, it was very important. I come from a very amazing family, a very amazing background, but not [so much] financially. I remember when I was young [and living] in Italy, I wanted to find my tribes. In my naïve way of thinking as a young person, it was [by saving money] to buy a pair of shoes.
Shoes [made] the look. Shoes, you can wear every day; a bag and shoes are what make the look. You can wear a simple, black look with amazing shoes. The day after, you can wear jeans and a white tee with [great] shoes; they make the look very strong. For me, I've been there – where you don't have so much money to buy something that you dream about. You want to be a part of an identity – I call them "tribes," others might call it "identity," but I know what it's like. This is why it was very important for me, Nike agreed with me to design shoes that would be reachable for anybody that wants to be part of the journey of Nike. For me, this makes the success of the shoes.
This shoe looks inherently different from the aesthetic you've established with Givenchy. Does the design at all relate back to any lines done with the brand, or was this a more independent, personal project?
It's more independent. What I do for Nike is special for Nike, and what I do for Givenchy is special for Givenchy. I think both of them have something strong in common: the strength, the confidence. I'm always big on things that can be detailed, very strong, [yet at the same time] it's important they be big on creativity. Some designs just think of the craziness; I like the craziness, I like the creativity, but I like when people [actually] wear the clothes and shoes. I think there are strengths in both of [the colorways]. If you look at the black one, it's different. Out of respect for Nike and Givenchy, I wouldn't do the same thing, so it's good thing that you [bring that up]. They belong to my world. The white one, the first one, we decided to launch with Nike because it was something of a celebration of tribe. It was a celebration of life, a celebration of love. It was something for the young generation…which is beautiful. In each one, the good thing of it, they're all tribes and they're all gangs, but still the mask is the same color. [We changed] only the base color of the shoes, but each one [represents] a different tribe.
Do you see these shoes, from the low-tops up to the boot, as more high fashion or everyday street?
Both. I think if you're wearing – [let's say] for a girl – if you wear them with a lace dress and match more dressed up, it can make the look much cooler; it can be much more… "high fashion." If you wear it with just black men's trousers and a tight T-shirt, the same trainers can make [the look] much more urban and street. I think it's a quite versatile object; in itself, it's quite a cool pair of shoes. If it's difficult to make it updated today, but it was not difficult because the base of the shoes was amazing. It's like if you buying a house with an amazing structure.
Did you consider any other silhouettes – basketball, perhaps, given your background – when deciding what to do for this project?
No, it's what Nike asked me to do. They gave me the shoes and I [could] choose [my] company to work on it. I think it [belongs more] to me – because I love trainers in general – but these are the shoes I've been wearing for the past 14 years.

"The figure of Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido, is an elusive one for chroniclers of martial arts history. This is the case despite the fact that there are still hundreds of first-hand witnesses to his life and work, including his son and successor, Aikido Doshu Kisshomaru. Ueshiba. Ueshiba's life, which reads like an adventure novel — unfolded in a cultural and religious setting quite foreign to modern Japanese.
In particular, a clear understanding of the crucial roles played by Sokaku Takeda and Onisaburo Deguchi in Ueshiba's development is essential in order to grasp the spiritual and technical evolution which culminated in the creation of modern aikido. Takeda was the disseminator of Daito-ryu aikijujutsu in twentieth century Japan, and Onisaburo Deguchi was the leading light of the influential Ornoto religion. Takeda's art provided the physical basis for Ueshiba's expression — in the form of martial techniques—of the universal spiritual insights gleaned from Onisaburo's religious teachings."

Motocross Championship Review
November 20, 2008 - zMotocross Championship doesn't even look like a 32X game. Save for the expanded color palette and scaling techniques, this is no better than a regular Genesis game -- and quite easily worse in many respects. The game starts with an ugly front-end menu system splashed with hot pink and green that tries to look x-treme but fails. Once you reach the track, the problems are only amplified. The field of racers looks decent at the starting line, but as soon as you get the signal to hit the gas, it all falls apart. Sprites suddenly become masses of huge pixels and everything blurs together. It's as if the pack of bikes is trying to merge into one giant superbike, but none of the pieces connect so you just end up with a cloud of orange, blue, brown, and white blocks.

Playing the Waiver Wire for Week 10
Nick Foles disappointed after a breakout performance earlier this season, so what might be different this time around? Our Jamey Eisenberg helps you prioritize your waiver claims.
So Nick Foles just made himself a top priority for Fantasy owners off the waiver wire for the second time this season after his performance in Week 9 at Oakland. We hope this encore is better than the last one.
In Week 6, Foles lit up Tampa Bay for 35 Fantasy points, but he followed it up in Week 7 with five points against Dallas. Foles saw his ownership on CBSSports.com spike from 28 percent in Week 6 to 84 percent in Week 7 (64 percent started).
As of Tuesday, Foles is owned in 40 percent of leagues, but he's about to be on the rise again after he had 59 Fantasy points against the Raiders. And this time we don't expect him to falter at Green Bay in Week 10 since the Packers struggled with Josh McCown (24 Fantasy points) on Monday night.
|Own %
|Dwayne Bowe , WR, Chiefs
|Terrelle Pryor , QB, Raiders
|Alex Smith , QB, Chiefs
|Jake Locker , QB, Titans
|Brian Hartline , WR, Dolphins
|Kyle Rudolph , TE, Vikings
|Bilal Powell , RB, Jets
|Roy Helu , RB, Redskins
|Kenbrell Thompkins , WR, Patriots
|Joseph Randle , RB, Cowboys
|Tyler Eifert , TE, Bengals
|Vincent Brown , WR, Chargers
Fantasy owners in every league need a quarterback with Aaron Rodgers (shoulder) hurt and Tom Brady on a bye. And Foles should do well not only against Green Bay, but he also faces Washington at home in Week 11 before a bye in Week 12.
We'll find out if Michael Vick (hamstring) will get his job back by then, but we'd expect Chip Kelly to stick with Foles if he continues to play well. He is worth adding and potentially starting in all leagues for Week 10, and you should spend at least 25 percent of your FAAB money on Foles if you need a quarterback.
Some other free agents currently being scouted in CBSSports.com Fantasy leagues include Green Bay running back James Starks (69 percent), New England receiver Aaron Dobson (45 percent), Philadelphia receiver Riley Cooper (22 percent), Houston quarterback Case Keenum (18 percent) and Oakland running back Rashad Jennings (12 percent).
Starks scored for the second consecutive game against the Bears on Monday night and could be a flex option in deeper leagues and is also the handcuff for Eddie Lacy . Dobson scored two touchdowns against the Steelers on Sunday and now has three touchdowns in his past two games. Cooper has developed a great rapport with Foles and scored three times against the Raiders. Keenum looks like the Texans' starter for the rest of the season after he had 34 Fantasy points against the Colts. And Jennings could start in Week 10 at the Giants for the injured Darren McFadden (hamstring).
In terms of the free agents available, I would prioritize them in this order by position: Foles and Ben Roethlisberger (67 percent) at quarterback, Andre Brown , (65 percent), Mike James (76 percent), Chris Ivory (68 percent) and Starks at running back, Cooper, Mike Brown (22 percent), Dobson and Lance Moore (49 percent) at receiver and Timothy Wright (34 percent) at tight end.
Editor's note: Must add is for players worth adding in all leagues. Maybe add is for players worth adding in 14-team leagues or larger. Desperation add is for players worth adding only if you're, well, desperate. The ownership percentage listed is how many leagues that player was owned in the previous week for CBSSports.com.
Must add:
Ben Roethlisberger
Steelers (67 percent),
Jay Cutler
, Bears
(61 percent),
Nick Foles
, Eagles (40
Maybe add: Josh McCown , Bears (32 percent), Jason Campbell , Browns (19 percent), Case Keenum , Texans (18 percent), Mike Glennon , Buccaneers (14 percent)
Desperation add: EJ Manuel , Bills (13 percent), Christian Ponder , Vikings (9 percent), Seneca Wallace , Packers (0 percent)
The order for quarterbacks to add this week is Foles, Roethlisberger, Cutler, Keenum, McCown, Glennon and Campbell. ... Foles gets a Packers defense on a short week, and Green Bay has allowed four quarterbacks to score at least 23 points, including McCown on Monday night. ... Roethlisberger was overshadowed in Week 9 by Foles and Tom Brady , but Roethlisberger also had his best game of the season with 34 Fantasy points against the Patriots. He picked the right time to have a good game heading into a matchup with the Bills in Week 10. Buffalo has allowed six quarterbacks to score at least 19 Fantasy points this season. ... Keenum did something Matt Schaub (ankle) hasn't done all season, which was get Andre Johnson in the end zone, and that happened three times against the Colts in Week 9. The matchup at Arizona isn't ideal, but Keenum is a gamer and worth starting in two-quarterback leagues. ... If Cutler (groin) returns in Week 10 he would be a potential starter for Fantasy owners this week against the Lions, so keep an eye on what develops. But if McCown starts he also could take advantage of this favorable matchup. Detroit has allowed three quarterbacks in a row to score at least 20 points, and McCown looked great against the Packers. ... Glennon has a tough matchup against Miami in Week 10, but he's scored at least 19 Fantasy points in three of his past four games with only one interception over that span. He's worth a look in two-quarterback formats. ... Campbell is on a bye in Week 10, but he's proven his worth in two games with 54 Fantasy points at Kansas City and vs. Baltimore. If you can stash Campbell in a two-quarterback league it should be worth it.
Running backs
Must add:
Mike James
, Buccaneers
(76 percent),
James Starks
, Packers (69
Chris Ivory
, Jets (68
Andre Brown
, Giants (65
Maybe add: Montee Ball , Broncos (39 percent), Shonn Greene , Titans (21 percent), Rashad Jennings , Raiders (12 percent)
Desperation add: Brian Leonard , Buccaneers (3 percent), Darrel Young , Redskins (0 percent), Dennis Johnson , Texans (0 percent)
The order for running backs to add this week is Brown, James, Ivory, Starks, Greene, Ball and Jennings. ... Brown (leg) is expected to make his season debut for the Giants in Week 10, and he has a favorable matchup against the Raiders, who have allowed seven touchdowns to running backs this season. Brown scored eight touchdowns in 10 games last season, and he should be the Giants' starter the rest of the year. ... James was impressive at Seattle with 28 carries for 158 yards and a 2-yard passing touchdown, and he faces a Miami defense in Week 10 that has allowed seven running backs to score double digits in Fantasy points. James will remain Fantasy relevant as long as Doug Martin (shoulder) is out. ... Ivory had his best game of the season against his former team in the Saints in Week 9 with 18 carries for 139 yards and a touchdown. The Jets are on a bye in Week 10, but Ivory should play well again in Week 11 against Buffalo. ... Starks has scored in consecutive games, and he's doing a nice job working in tandem with Lacy. The Packers could rely more on Lacy and Starks with Rodgers hurt. ... The Titans showed they could be dominant running the ball against the Rams as Chris Johnson had 23 carries for 150 yards and two touchdowns, and Greene had nine carries for 38 yards and a touchdown. He also added one catch for 28 yards, and Greene could reach double digits in Fantasy points again in Week 10 against Jacksonville. ... Ball is now the backup to Knowshon Moreno in Denver, and he scored in his last game in Week 8 against Washington. He could be a flex option in Week 10 at San Diego, but his real value lies if Moreno gets hurt. He's worth speculating on in all leagues. ... Jennings was awesome filling in for McFadden in Week 9 against the Eagles with 15 carries for 102 yards and a touchdown and seven catches for 74 yards. But he will struggle this week against the Giants, who have limited Adrian Peterson and LeSean McCoy to 76 rushing yards combined in the past two games. Still, as a starting running back, he could be used as a flex option if you just lost McFadden. ... Ignore Young even with his three touchdowns against the Chargers. He had one Fantasy point coming into Week 9 and don't expect him to become a scoring fullback like Mike Tolbert .

The order for wide receivers to add this week is Cooper, Mike Brown , Dobson, Moore, Marlon Brown , Crabtree, Baldwin, Meachem, Manningham, Royal and Cotchery. ... In the three games Foles has started this season, Cooper has 58 Fantasy points with four touchdowns and at least 88 receiving yards in each outing. The Packers have allowed nine touchdowns to opposing receivers this year. ... Mike Brown will start in place of the suspended Justin Blackmon , and Brown was playing well even with Blackmon on the field. In his past two games before the Week 9 bye, he had eight catches for 163 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets. He has a tough matchup in Week 10 at Tennessee, but he's worth stashing in all leagues. ... Dobson has become the outside receiver of choice for Brady, especially the past two games. He has three touchdowns against Miami and Pittsburgh with nine catches for 190 yards on 14 targets. The Patriots have a bye in Week 10, but Dobson is the newest toy in New England and worth adding in all leagues. ... Moore wasn't the best receiver for the Saints in Week 9 at the Jets with Marques Colston (knee) out, but he did have the most targets with 10. He finished with six catches for 70 yards, and his best production is still in front of him. You can also take a flier on Meachem in deeper leagues since he had four catches for 93 yards on five targets, and his playing time will increase with Colston out. ... Marlon Brown abused the Browns with five catches for 54 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9 on nine targets, which led the team. He now has at least seven Fantasy points in every game where he's gotten at least six targets, which has happened five times. ... Manningham (ACL) was activated this week, and he could play in Week 10 against Carolina. He's worth a flier in deeper leagues. And we hope Crabtree (Achilles) will return in Week 11 at New Orleans or Week 12 at Washington. He could be a difference maker down the stretch. ... Baldwin is worth speculating on after his performance against Tampa Bay with six catches for 75 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. This was the first game without Sidney Rice (ACL), but Percy Harvin (hip) could return this week, which would limit Baldwin's long-term value. ... Put Royal back on your radar after he scored in consecutive games at Washington with four catches for 56 yards on six targets. In a potential shootout against Denver in Week 10, the Chargers might need Royal to have a big game. ... Cotchery is worth looking at in deeper leagues after he scored three touchdowns in Week 9 at New England with seven catches for 96 yards on eight targets. The problem with Cotchery is even though he's scored in three games this season he's also been at five Fantasy points or less in five other outings. ... Don't bother with Bess even after his two-touchdown game against Baltimore. He had four targets, and his 14 Fantasy points was the first time he had more than six this season.
Tight end
Must add:
Timothy Wright
Buccaneers (34 percent)
Maybe add: Jared Cook , Rams (61 percent), Garrett Graham , Texans (37 percent), Brent Celek , Eagles (27 percent), Andrew Quarless , Packers (10 percent), Zach Ertz , Eagles (3 percent), Dennis Pitta , Ravens (2 percent)
Desperation add: Joel Dreessen , Broncos (1 percent), Tom Crabtree , Buccaneers (0 percent), Gary Barnidge , Browns (0 percent), John Carlson , Vikings (0 percent)
The order for tight ends to add this week is Wright, Graham, Ertz, Quarless, Celek, Cook and Pitta. ... Wright has been awesome since getting an extended look in Week 4. He has at least nine Fantasy points in three of his past four games, including touchdowns in consecutive outings against Carolina and Seattle. He has a great matchup in Week 10 against Miami since the Dolphins have allowed six touchdowns to opposing tight ends this year. ... Graham hasn't lived up to expectations in replacing the injured Owen Daniels (leg), but he did have four catches for 46 yards with Keenum in Week 9 against the Colts on six targets. He also has a great matchup at Arizona since the Cardinals have allowed eight touchdowns to tight ends this season. ... Ertz and Celek both scored at Oakland in Week 9 with at least eight Fantasy points. Ertz has more value than Celek since he has 21 targets over the past four weeks compared to 12 for Celek. ... Quarless remains a low-end Fantasy option with Jermichael Finley (neck) out, but he was a favorite target for Wallace when he took over for Rodgers on Monday night. Quarless had five catches for 34 yards on seven targets, which was second only to Jordy Nelson and his nine targets. ... Cook scored against his former team in Week 9 with three catches for 36 yards against the Titans, but it was his first touchdown since Week 1. He's only worth consideration in deeper leagues. ... Pitta (hip) could return in November, and in deeper leagues he might be worth stashing for a playoff run.
