Snoop Lion/Snoop Dogg took his blunted wisdom to the fans yesterday for an extensive Ask Me Anything session on Reddit, even bringing out his kids and wife to make it a Broadus family AMA. Snoop took the time to chat with fans about his recent performance with Charlie Wilson at the BET Awards, who he thinks is the rightful ruler of Westeros on Game of Thrones ("mother of dragons or tha midget"), the unreleased track he did with Michael Jackson when the King of Pop was still alive (it's still in the vault, unfortunately) and much more.
Below, we've collected some of Snoop's standout responses, and you can also check out the rapper-turned-rasta's bonus AMA video in which he chats about his new song "No Guns Allowed" and gives some pretty pointed advice on how to meet girls.

All these food recalls are frightening; do we not have inspectors anymore to be sure the food is "safe" Before it gets to market? Shopping is getting to be as dangerous as playing in traffic.
Robert "Bobby" Giarusso September 30, 2012 at 02:00 PM
Our food is extremely safe and regulations are tighter now than anytime before. That's why we're seeing more and more recalls and partly the reason for higher prices at the grocery store. By trying to eliminate all all exposure to these organisms is doing more harm than good. The human body is designed to build up immunities over time. If the body is not given the chance to build those immunities, it reacts negatively when it comes in contact with the foreign substance.

Humans are sexual beings and as such, we are made to have sex. Sexual needs are part of the basic hierarchy of needs proposed by psychologist Abraham Maslow in his theory of human motivation. In his theory, Maslow purported that humans have physiological needs that are essential for our survival, and placed sex along with breathing, eating, sleeping, drinking, homeostasis, and excretion.
Sex does and should feel good (otherwise, consult your physician). Moreover, sex has many health benefits—looking younger among them—and orgasms in particular have been linked to positive health outcomes and keeping the doctor away. But what about not having sex? Since having sex can be good for your health, is not having it be detrimental to your health?
David Roelfs and colleagues at the University of Louisville in Kentucky conducted a study about celibacy and health that suggested that single people may die younger. The results, published by the American Journal of Epidemiology reported that single men and women who have never been married are at a higher risk of dying at a younger age than those who were married. The study consisted of a meta-analysis of 90 studies that involved 500 million people. The study made a comparison between mortality rates of married and single people (excluding divorced and widowed individuals), and the data established that single men die 17 years before their married counterparts and women die 15 years earlier than their married counterparts.
Jennifer Bass, head of information services at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction in Bloomington, IN, says that, although there is no good data to categorically show a correlation between overall good health and sex, it is known that healthier people have more sexual activity. However, it is hard to establish what comes first: does good health make you want more sex or does more sex lead to better health outcomes? Although this question may be as hard to answer as the question on "what came first, the chicken or the egg?", another reputable study found a positive association between high frequency of orgasms, decreased mortality, and better health.
A study conducted by researchers in Queens University in Belfast in Ireland tracked the mortality rates of approximately 1,000 men over a span of 10 years. The study was published by the British Medical Journal in 1997 and its results found that men who reported the highest rate of orgasms had half the death rate of their less active counterparts.
Needless to say that engaging in dangerous sex practices, such as unprotected sex in casual sexual encounters, may lead to more harm than good. Engaging in unsafe sex may actually decrease your mortality rather than increase it if you contract an STD.
When asked whether or not they thought not having sex was bad for their health, this is what some women had to say:
I think not having sex is bad for me. I feel cranky, irritable, and out of sync when I go through dry spells. I need sex. I am not married, but I have a healthy libido, and I feel more balanced when I have sex regularly, especially with a partner with whom I can feel connected. —Adela V., San Germán, PR
I am definitely in a better mood when I have sex on a regular basis. I am happier, I feel sexier, I feel in control. I feel good about myself when I have a fulfilling sexual life. Sex is important and essential for me! —Teri B., Dallas, TX
I love sex! I enjoy a healthy sex life with my husband and I love it! Sex makes me feel more confident in our relationship, strengthens our bond, enhances our communication. If sex is good, everything else seems to fall in place naturally. We enjoy sex at least three times a week, and I love the way it makes me feel! —Nancy C., Scottsdale, AZ
Sex must be good for you. And, conversely, not having it must be bad for you. I think people who have sex on a regular basis, especially in the context of an emotionally binding relationship, are happier beings. But overall, sex is good, period! It feels good, orgasms feel awesome, and the after-feeling of sex is insuperable. —Mayra G., Dallas, TX
Now that we know sex may help you live longer, there's even more reason to enjoy more of it!

What's the story behind your business?
I own a custom motorcycle shop called G&B Customs located at 1326 10th Ave. in Columbus. We have been in business since 2000. We build custom American and Japanese motorcycles in addition to doing regular maintenance on them. We have had several bikes featured in various magazines in the past.
Motorcycles are a passion that has been with me since the age of 5,
thanks to my parents. I even met my beautiful wife, Lee Ray, who also rides her own bike, at a bike rally! It is sometimes hard balancing family and a family-owned business, but we make it happen.
What are some of the coolest motorcycles you've built?
First, there's a 2000 Suzuki Hayabusa, the first motorcycle built by my shop, which was featured in magazines. That really put us on the map as serious builders.
Another was a bike built for a guy out of New Jersey who spared no expense and allowed me an extensive creative range and paid tribute to his fraternity. Another was a bike built for my wife, which was inspired by a bathing suit of all things. She takes great pride in this bike and the story behind it.
What should people know about motorcycle safety?
People should be more cautious when driving due to a motorcycle being smaller than a car. The motorcycle may be in a blind spot or may not be easily seen due to traffic or obstructions. People should also look twice and be very cautious when entering traffic.
Your first-born child recently started college. How did you handle the sendoff?
My first-born child recently started her freshman year of college at Troy University. For me it was and still is an uneasy feeling and a loss of some control of her movements.
My wife and mother both have had to remind me that she was taught excellent values and will do just fine! We have three children, and I will have to endure feeling this way two more times.
What's the best-kept secret in the Chattahoochee Valley?
The best-kept secret in the Chattahoochee Valley is the motorcycle community. On any given day you can find a motorcycle club reaching out and helping someone in the community.
I see events such as back-to-school drives, fan giveaways, Thanksgiving meal giveaways, toy drives at Christmas and bikers rallying around our own in times of need. Bikers have some of the biggest hearts that you can imagine and are far beyond the stereotypical images that a lot of people have.

Prom season is upon us and many Colorado teenagers will create memories that will last a lifetime. To help ensure those memories do not turn tragic, law enforcement agencies across the state will conduct a special prom season "Heat Is On" enforcement period until Sunday, May 23rd. The goal is to keep teenagers safe by targeting all impaired drivers, not just students attending proms.
"We want to make sure our roadways are safe this spring for teenagers celebrating prom and for everyone behind the wheel," said Col. James Wolfinbarger, chief of the Colorado State Patrol. "If drivers are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, we will arrest them regardless of their age. Prom is a time to remember, but a time to celebrate safely and legally."
Drinking or even possessing alcohol is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 in Colorado and could result in the loss of a driver's license, even if that person is not driving when the offense occurred. That illegal activity is magnified when it involves getting behind the wheel. Young drivers should know that an impaired driver of any age convicted of DUI will have to pay an average of $10,270, in addition to losing their driver's license and possibly entering a treatment program. Young drivers also risk jeopardizing academic eligibility, college acceptance and current or future employment opportunities.
In Colorado, the number of people killed in alcohol-related crashes by drivers under age 21 has declined in the past three years from 16 in 2007 to 12 in 2008 and eight in 2009, according to preliminary data. But the number of people killed by drug-impaired drivers under age 21 has remained steady with nine in 2007, eight in 2008, and nine last year.
"Students are beginning to get the message that drinking and driving is dangerous, but many young people, as well as adults, don't understand that drugs can impair their ability to drive as well," said Mike Nugent, manager of CDOT's Office of Transportation Safety. "There are a growing number of law enforcement officers across the state who are specially trained to detect when drivers are under the influence of drugs, whether they are legal or illegal drugs."
To help educate teenagers about the dangers of impaired driving and warn them of the special enforcement period, CDOT has developed materials for high schools across the state, which will be available to download at www.coteendriver.com. CDOT has also partnered Al's Formal Wear, which will include with each of its 10,000 statewide tuxedo rentals a card that stresses the message that drinking or doing drugs is illegal and could result in a DUI. In addition, CDOT is partnering with Mothers Against Drunk Driving Colorado to hang posters in high schools statewide, reminding students of the message.
"We are proud of our students in Colorado. Most of the time, they make good decisions," said Emily Tompkins, executive director of MADD Colorado. "This time of year, peer pressure is a big part of life in high school. We want to help students make smart choices and positive memories, not dangerous ones that they'll remember for the rest of their lives – for all the wrong reasons."
So what can students do to ensure a safe prom without risking a DUI or worse? Here are some tips for teenagers:
–Don't get into a vehicle with a driver you think may be drunk or high even if they say they are OK to drive.
–Have an emergency transportation plan ready. Have someone you can call who can pick you up if you find yourself in a dangerous situation. Hopefully you don't need to call them, but it is better to have a plan just in case.
–Call *CSP (*277) or 911. If you think someone is impaired and behind the wheel, you may save a life of a friend by getting them off the road. The call can be completely anonymous.
–Many schools offer an alcohol-free after party. Take advantage of these inexpensive or sometimes free opportunities.

The front row of the Burberry Prorsum Fall 2012 show was jam packed with celebrities from all over the world, proving that Burberry is truly a global brand loved the world over.
The first to arrive were the Asian actresses.
Vivian Hsu: The actress struck a serious pose wearing a snakeskin Burberry Prorsum Pre-Fall 2012 coat. Blue tights and brown suede shearling-lined ankle boots completed her look.
'Girls Generation': Thankfully, Seohyun, Yoona and Tiffany gave us some interesting shoes to drool over. I also need to thank them for giving us three very different looks from the Burberry Prorsum Spring 2012 collection. Seohyn wore a tribal-print coat, Yoona kept her look sweet wearing an emerald-green keyhole dress with a pleated bib, and Tiffany opted for a sexy ruched mini-print dress which is considerably shorter to the dress presented on the runway.
Clemence Posey: The French actress is so naturally beautiful and unassuming. She opted for a typically laidback, chic look which included a polka-dot shirt, tweed cropped pants and a Burberry trench.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: The model arrived with a 7ft bodyguard; obviously Burberry wanted to keep their favourite model well guarded at all times. She opted for a Pre-Fall 2012 look which included a tweed jacket and the same bag from the lookbook. The look got even better inside the venue when she removed the jacket to reveal a short-sleeved velvet-bow-accented sweater.
Kate Bosworth: The actress, wearing a Pre-Fall 2012 look, was joined in the front row by her beau. The owl-motif sweater was featured in the Fall 2012 collection also, so it looked like she was ahead of the trend. A tweed skirt, black velvet bow waistband, ankle boots and a black clutch completed her look.
Dongyu Zhou: The Asian actress looked super cute, from the ankle up, wearing a dusty pink look from Burberry's Pre-Fall 2012 collection with a bow accent around her waist.
Ebru Salli: You couldn't miss the Turkish model in the front row as she opted to wear a bright turquoise Burberry Prorsum Spring 2012 leather trench coat.
Sonam Kapoor: The Indian actress was seated front row between Wil.I.Am, who arrived late, and boxer Amir Khan. I wasn't too crazy about her trench coat, but I loved the beige chiffon dress she wore inside the venue. It was much more suited to her style.

She was a member of the women's gymnastics team that won the gold medal and the hearts of millions at the 2012 London Olympics. Now McKayla Maroney is coming to Gwinnett.
Maroney and fellow Olympian Jonathan Horton will speak to student-athletes and coaches at Georgia Gwinnett College on Tuesday.
"We are thrilled with this opportunity for our young men and women to get an up-close look at some of the best athletes in the world," said Dr. Darin S. Wilson, GGC's director of Athletics in a release. "This will be a great chance for our student-athletes to learn about personal dedication and the pursuit of team goals."
Maroney's vault helped the U.S. women's team win the gold medal this summer. She also earned the silver medal for the individual vault. In 2008, Horton won a silver medal in the horizontal bar and a team bronze medal.
The two are in town for the Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions, which will perform at The Arena at Gwinnett Center on Saturday, Oct. 27th.
Tuesday's event is open only to GGC students, faculty and staff.

For St George's, mission extends beyond Sunday morning services and bible study. It's about reaching out and placing ourselves at the heart of the community we are part of, and using our building to serve Kemp Town and beyond. We are blessed that we have been able to create a wonderful Community Centre in the Crypt of the church, where many groups meet throughout the week. Our excellent Neighbourhood Nursery is here too. Our church is regularly used for concerts and over the years has hosted a diverse range of events from local community choirs to international recording artists. We have a resident cafe in the church that is open throughout the week and on Saturdays, serving wonderful food and beverages. This provides a great place to meet-up and catch-up, as does our Community Garden in front of the church. Many of these facilities and activities are enjoyed by people who are not churchgoers. Neither faith nor denomination are barriers as we welcome those who live, work or visit the area to share the building we are blessed with and participate in the raft of activities on offer.
Most of the time, the work of the church and those groups who use it goes on without much fanfare. However, it is worth celebrating and giving thanks for the time and commitment of all those who put their time, talents and effort in to making St George's one of the hubs of the Kemp Town community, and we believe that this is key aspect of what the living church is about.
Recently, we have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to share some of what goes on at St George's with a wider audience. An article in The Telegraph focused on the Brighton Repair Cafe at St George's. Meanwhile, Father Andrew has spoken to Brighton and Hove Pride and explains why Pride matters and how St George's is committed to serving the diverse community our Parish serves.
After the excitement of Easter and St George's Day it does no harm to focus our thoughts back on some of 'the basics'- mundane though it may be to change a light bulb, mend a chair or to cut the grass. St George's is a lively place throughout the week, with so many activities and events, as well as acts of worship, taking place. It is your generosity, though, that helps pay our day-to-day running costs, as St George's receives no public money towards these general expenses.
It's great to have fun at the same time as helping our church raise the funds needed to keep it running as a hub for the benefit of the Kemp Town community. We are fortunate to have so many creative and talented people in our parish and we'd love to hear your ideas to help us meet our costs. Here are some suggestions to get you started:
Look out for futher details our latest Stewardship Campaign, and let us know how you would like to help. Talk to a Welcomer at church on a Sunday, e-mail us on
Take this opportunity to also stop and think about those less fortunate than ourselves; not just in trouble-spots of areas of natural disasters around the world, but also closer to home. As you take stock of your intake and your kitchen cupboards, have a look and see what you can share with others who may not have had the luxury of too much turkey and Christmas pudding.
St George's is playing its part, and has a dedicated corner for FOOD BANK donations. These are collected weekly, and taken to a central collection point, run by the Brighton City Mission.You can bring in donations at any point in the week, of course - a packet or can of something, as well as practical items such as toiletries and toilet rolls, to help those of us in Brighton who are less well off, and genuinely find it difficult to make ends meet.
Please help if you can.
Thanks to a change in the law, anyone who lives within the Parish, who worships with us, or has a particular connection with St George's can ask to be married at the Church. We have a beautiful building, a superb choir and organist, a garden which is ideal for photos and hospitality...the perfect venue for your perfect day.
If you are thinking about Marriage, and would like to talk to our Clergy, you can contact them via the
Once you've decided, there are just seven simple steps to make the arrangements. The Church of England has a dedicated website to help you plan your perfect day.
There are some things about marrying in church that you just can't get anywhere else. It's your wedding. Let us help you make it personal, meaningful, spiritual, beautiful.
We're sorry, it's not possible to lead civil partnership services at the present time.
Our lovely new garden has proved very popular with the local community since it was officially opened in 2011. It is designed as low maintenance, but volunteers are always needed to help keep it looking spick and span. We hold regular gardening sessions, usually on Saturday mornings. Refreshments are available, and we often end with a light lunch.
All welcome, no experience is necessary and you do not need to be a worshipper at St George's to get involved. For more details contact

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Slocum sticking with Ross on kickoffs
Green Bay - Packers special teams coach Shawn Slocum is not pinning the team's troubles on kickoff returns on the returner.
Though there was one against San Francisco in which he would have preferred a quicker decision whether to return the ball, he said Jeremy Ross hasn't been the reason for the poor production.
Heading into the Monday night game, the Packers rank 28th in kickoff returns with a 12.8 average on five returns. Their average drive start after returning kickoffs is the 13-yard line.
Against Washington Sunday, they had returns of 14 and 10 yards and two touchbacks.
"We've had three plays," Slocum said. "Two of them, the ball was kicked away from where we had the play called. One of them, we missed a block on. The production is unacceptable. We need to have a good week this week and we'll need to have some productive returns."
"The three (poor) kickoff returns that we've had, we've really had three different problems," Slocum said. "One of them, we had a good kick and a good setup and we missed the block and that hurt us; that was the second one in the San Francisco game."
Slocum said that Randall Cobb fielded the last kickoff because the Packers were expecting an onsides kick and he's part of the unit that handles those. He said it was not a reflection of what Ross had done.
The one good thing he liked in the return game was Ross' 11-yard punt return. He thought it could have gone longer, however.
"It was close to being a big, explosive play; we've got to make that happen," Slocum said.

It takes more than a good returner to have successful kick returns. Can't put all the blame on Ross.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein
I really liked Ross last year because he ran north-south. Although there hasn't been many kickoff returns there were a couple where he was running east-west. Maybe its the blocking.

Juicy pork tenderloin cut into medallions and sauteed in a rich port wine sauce is a dinner that can be made quickly on a weekday or used for a special weekend treat. The skillet potatoes are crisp and golden and take only minutes to make.
Ketchup in your sauce! was my surprised comment when I saw famed television chef Jacques Pepin prepare this pork recipe.Sure, ketchup or a thick tomato sauce has been used in French cooking for many years. It gives just the right amount of sweet and savory flavor and texture, he said with a smile. I have adapted his recipe for this quick dinner.
Helpful Hints
• The quickest way to wash watercress is to place it head first into a bowl of water. Leave for a minute, then lift out and shake dry.
• A washed ready-to-eat salad can be used instead of the watercress.
• Sherry can be used instead of port.
• Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
• Make potatoes.
• Make pork.

Here are five of those terrifying truths:
Jay Cutler is out for at least a month (Terror Factor: 7/10)
No team likes to lose its starting quarterback. Despite Josh McCown's decent showings that have led to Bears fans eliciting semi-confidence in the veteran, this is a major blow for the Bears. Yes, Jay Cutler can be infuriating as a signal-caller at times, but he's more good than bad and was currently in the midst of arguably his best season -- 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 91.7 passer rating.
What keeps this loss from being higher on the "Terror Factor" meter is that the Bears actually have a coach in Mark Trestman who seems to be able to coax results from most quarterbacks, the offensive line is much-improved, and the Bears are still loaded with weapons at the skill positions. Throw in that the Bears expect Cutler to be back (Brandon Marshall says two weeks) and the terror shrinks a little more.
But do we remember back in 2011 when we all said the 7-3 Bears would be just fine when Caleb Hanie took over for Cutler?
Lance Briggs is out for six weeks (Terror Factor: 9/10)
The loss of Briggs is a big deal whichever way you look at it. He's a perennial Pro-Bowler and is the captain of the unit -- that role was vacated with the departure of Brian Urlacher. The problem of Briggs' injury is compounded when you stop to realize the defense was pretty terrible with Briggs.
The Bears are 26th in yards allowed (391 per game), 28th in points allowed (29.4 per game), 30th in sacks (9), and 26th in rushing yards allowed (117.3 per game). Without their abnormally high number of forced turnovers (18), this would arguably be the worst defense in the league. That's not something we're used to hearing in the same sentence as the Chicago Bears.
The NFC North is pretty darn good (Terror Factor: 8/10)
Much like last year, the NFC North is three teams deep. That depth could very easily be what keeps the Bears out of a possible playoff spot. The Detroit Lions did the Bears an enormous favor by losing to the Cincinnati Bengals, but the injuries the Bears are facing could be enough to knock them a couple of games back with divisional games against the Packers and Lions forthcoming. And in this division, there might not be any recovering from that.
The Bears' defense has only nine sacks in seven games (Terror Factor: 10/10)
The previously mentioned abhorrent sack numbers are indicative of why the Bears have struggled where they have -- primarily on defense. It isn't to say that they can't continue improving and manage a productive second half, it's that their depth is all but gone.
Season-ending injuries to Henry Melton and Nate Collins, nagging injuries from Stephen Paea, and a major lack of production from Julius Peppers all have contributed to the Bears' pass rush being nearly nonexistent. The Bears' defense, like many other units, relies almost exclusively on an effective four-man pass rush to be an effective scheme. Without it, the rest of the unit crumbles. A quick glance at the above numbers illustrates that that is exactly what has happened.
Jay Cutler might be gone after this season (Terror Factor: ??)
With Mark Trestman at the helm, everyone has been intrigued what he might be able to get out of Jay Cutler. And true to form, working with Trestman does seem to have Cutler playing better overall -- though having a competent offensive line alone should increase production. But his injury-riddled history with the Bears is enough to give pause to a possible extension.
Overall, Cutler has been exemplary by Bears' quarterbacking standards. And though those standards are laughably low historically, Cutler's successes have been exceptional by most standards when he's been on the field. In 2010, Cutler led the Bears to the NFC championship. In 2011, the Bears were 7-3 before Cutler went down with an injury and the Bears fell apart. And, in 2012, the Bears were 7-1 before Cutler began having concussion trouble, along with a neck injury.
Cutler is far from perfect, but Bears fans can be quick to forget just how abysmal traditional quarterback play has been in Chicago. So while the idea of a fresh young quarterback to be molded by Trestman is intriguing, with no viable candidate in place, even the chance of going back to the days of Cade McNown, Jim Miller, Shane Matthews, Kordell Stewart, Todd Collins, Craig Krenzel, Chad Hutchinson, and generally horrendous quarterback play is something Bears fans should be concerned about. Cutler may not be awesome, but he looks awfully good if the alternative is the list above.
Count your blessings, Bears fans. Thanksgiving is coming up.

May 4: Cubs 6, Nationals 4. May 18: Cubs 6, White Sox 3. June 15: Cubs 4, Padres 1
So you got that going for you.
Joba Chamberlain super, super, super gross. Almost as gross as eating a tomato. Seriously gross.
Side note: Chip Caray was going nuts during that Yankees-Indians game last night. Every ball that was hit, he nearly leapt out of his chair. I wonder if Bob Brenly slapped him. I also wonder if Bob and Len email each other in the off-season. Text message? Weekend trips? Just curious.
It's Saturday. Game 3 at Wrigley. Cubs trail in the series 2-0. But you already knew all of that.
On to things you might not know
The Tribune's ultimate baseball dude Phil Rogers tells us that in the last 12 years, four teams have advanced to the championship series after losing the first two games of the division series.
Today's Diamondbacks pitcher, Livan Hernandez, is the half-brother of former Sox pitcher Orlando Hernandez. And his real first name is Eisler.
The Tribune's Cubs beat reporter Paul Sullivan tells us that the Cubs most show some emotion and pretend it's June. Have Lou throw a tantrum. Have Zambrano throw a catcher (not Soto, he's kinda good. Where's Koyie Hill?). Also, not too hard to pretend it's June today, considering our lovely October weather. I want to wear my fall clothes! No fun.
And Kansas beat Kansas State in Manhattan for the first time since 1989. Fighting Manginos! What? You probably didn't know that.
Everyone's favorites Ron Darling and Dick Stockton will be your announcers today. TBS, gotta love it.
Lineups are here. Jason Kendall will be your starting catcher. Rich Hill on the mound. And I'm sure, Ronnie Woo-Woo is in the crowd, annoying people left and right.
We've got a heat index of 90 degrees. It's October! STOP. Wind is out of the south at 10 mph.
My email is email@example.com. Auto-refresh and the message board are to the right.
Baseball to come shortly. FrankTV hopefully going away shortly.
New Under Armour commercial with Soriano...I enjoy the one with Steve Spurrier. Yeah, click clack.
First inning
And here we go. Chris Young takes the first pitch deep and it's 1-0 Diamondbacks. Well then. And the Tribune office is depressed. Here's Stephen Drew, he takes first pitch ball. He takes the fourth offering deep to RF for a double, out of Cliff Floyd's reach. The crowd, it is quiet. No outs. Eric Byrnes got a haircut. Thank god. 1-2 hole, before he strikes out swinging. Wooooo. Comment on the board: Buttnose aka Rich Hill. Love it. Conor Jackson is called out on strikes. So that's two outs, dude still on second. Here's Mark Reynolds -- he has one HR this series. Hill quickly falls behind in the count...3-0 to Reynolds. Swing and a miss, swing and a miss. Full count. Crowd on its feet. Ball four. And the crowd sits down. Justin Upton now...2-0 count. 11 strikes, 11 balls for Hill thus far. Upton finds the hole between first and second, and that will score Drew. D'backs 2-0. Runners on the corners. Larry Rothschild goes to talk to Hill. Augie Ojeda stands in there -- Caldarelli wants him beaned and booed. Let's see. Aha! Augie is hit on the 1-1 pitch. But I don't think that was on purpose...hit him on the back. Kinda leaned into that one. Bases loaded. Miguel Montero falls behind 0-2 before hitting the 2-2 pitch to DeRosa for the easy out at first.
Diamondbacks 2-0.

A city councilman surrendered Tuesday to face federal charges that he tried to cheat the city of at least $2.5 million in council discretionary funds, funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to his girlfriend and relatives and charging the city $177 for a bagel sandwich.
The charges were contained in a Manhattan indictment against Councilman Larry Seabrook, a 58-year-old Democrat who has represented a Bronx council district since 2002 and who was once a state senator.
Seabrook is charged with receiving corrupt payments, extortion, money laundering and conspiracy. After pleading not guilty, Seabrook was released on $500,000 bail. His lawyer, Murray Richmond, said outside court: "We haven't had a chance to analyze the indictment. We don't concede a crime was committed."
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara noted an abundance of "For Sale" signs in the city as a result of the sputtering economy.
"City Hall should not be one of them," he said.
One charge alleges that, between July 2006 and April 2009, Seabrook solicited $50,000 in payments from a Bronx boiler company executive after Seabrook lobbied the New York Yankees to select the company to furnish two boilers for $283,000 for the new Yankee Stadium.
Yankees spokeswoman Alice McGillion said the Yankees had cooperated fully with the probe and there was no knowledge of any wrongdoing by anyone in the team.
In recent years, federal authorities and the city's Department of Investigation have been looking into how council members funnel money to nonprofits.
From 2002 through 2009, Seabrook tried to direct at least $2.5 million of council discretionary funds to nonprofit organizations that he controlled, the indictment alleged.
The indictment said Seabrook negotiated the nonprofit organizations' leases, created their budgets, made their personnel decisions and knew the groups were not doing enough legitimate work to justify the funds.
It said he paid about $530,000 in salary and "consulting" fees over the seven-year span to his girlfriend, his brother, two sisters and his nephews, among others.
The indictment accused Seabrook of inflating the expenses of the organizations, including what they paid in rent, and of making other misrepresentations and material omissions to New York City and the council so he could continue funding the groups.
For instance, Seabrook submitted a number of forged or altered receipts, including a doctored receipt for a $7 bagel sandwich and diet beverage delivered to City Hall that made it look like it had cost about $177, the indictment said.
In all, Seabrook managed to get at least $1.2 million of the $2.5 million he requested for the organizations sent to them, the indictment said.
The court papers outlined numerous examples of misspent money, including $10,000 paid to one of Seabrook's sisters for a "Fire Diversity/Recruitment Initiative" consultant report that amounted to six double-spaced pages written in a large font.
Council Speaker Christine Quinn said: "All of us in the City Council take the deeply troubling allegations against Council Member Larry Seabrook very seriously."
Department of Investigation Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn said it was complicated to untangle Seabrook's "breathtaking array of fraudulent schemes" resulting in his arrest only seven months after the arrest of another city councilman.
That ex-councilman, Miguel Martinez, was sentenced to five years in prison by a federal judge in Manhattan for stealing more than $100,000 in public funds since 2002.

Two men charged in were also charged last week in the 2010 killing of a Decatur strip club owner.
A DeKalb County grand jury charged Stacey Lamont Dooley, 35, and Ashley Antwan Henderson, 28, with the Sept. 7 fatal shooting of Terry Stephenson, owner of Pin Up's strip club on East Ponce de Leon Avenue, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The club's manager, Charles Edward Daniels, was charged in the killing.
From the AJC story:
Daniels and Dooley had been in "constant phone communication" during the week leading up to the Sept. 7 shooting, prosecutors said. But they adjusted on the fly after Daniels learned he wouldn't be taking the club's proceeds from the Labor Day weekend to the bank.
According to the DeKalb District Attorney's Office, Daniels told his cohorts to target Stephenson, who was carrying more than $55,000 in cash. They took the money after firing six shots at the 49-year-old former firefighter outside the Pin Ups entrance.
Dooley of Snellville and Henderson of Atlanta were charged in the March 15, 2011, killing of 32-year-old Gary Castillo, an armored car guard from Lawrenceville who was leaving in the shopping center with a cash pick-up when he was gunned down in the middle of the day.
The killing was one of several brazen attacks across the metro Atlanta area involving armored car guards. The case was investigated by the FBI, and several others were implicated in the crimes.

HONOR — Zora Armena Pelky, 65, of Honor, passed away on Sept. 27, 2012, at Munson Medical Center, with her husband and children by her side.
She was born in Frankfort on July 2, 1947, the daughter of Henry RC and Ida Ellen VanBrocklin. Zora married Franklin Pelky on Sept. 25, 1970, and happily celebrated 42 years of marriage.
She was a wonderful homemaker. Raising her children was always her pride and joy. She put a lot of love and care in her cooking and canning for the family.
Once her children were grown she worked at the Brookside and Sara Lee.
She was always on the go, taking walks, hunting for mushrooms, playing tennis and badminton with family and tending to her flower gardens. She loved her weekly trip to the casinos with family and friends. Many happy times were spent there.
Zora was considered by many to be their second mom. She was always happy, loving, kind, gentle and optimistic. She always found the good in all things. She was a good listener and very easy to talk to. She loved her children and grandchildren and had a special relationship with each one. She was loved by all and will be greatly missed.
She is survived by husband, Frank; mother, Ida Mix; children, RJ, Zelda Gray, Raymond (Becky), Margie (Greg) Clous, Matt (Char), Lottie Belle and Dennis; grandchildren, Stephanie and Elizabeth Pelky, Thomas III and Zach Gray, Cory, Kyle and Chloe Pelky, Travis, Alisha and Myah Clous, Ashley Zeller, Noha, Katelynn and Maxx Pelky, and Mariah and Cody Pelky; brother, Hank (Claudia) Van Brocklin; sisters, Zelda Hodge, Janice Brown and Joan (Tim) Thomas; aunts and uncles; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
She was preceded in death by her father, Henry RC VanBrocklin; brothers, Robert and LaDon VanBrocklin; and nephew, RC VanBrocklin.
We will remember Zora Pelky as a lady who loved her family and one who had a true spirit of generosity.
Funeral services will be held today, Oct. 1, 2012, at 1 p.m., Trinity Lutheran Church, Frankfort, with Pastor Rick Stieve officiating.
Arrangements are by Jowett Family Funeral Homes and Cremations Service.

Grandparenting preschoolers can be quite a challenge as their imaginations burgeon and their physical agility skyrockets. No longer toddlers, 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds may require that grandparents move quickly and think even more quickly to keep up with them. Thank goodness, they will still need some quiet times and cuddling.
Physical Development
This is a period when you will be amazed in the changes in the physical abilities of your grandchildren. It seems as if they are learning something new each day! During this period of time they will learn to skip, hop, gallop and propel themselves in a swing. Their small muscle control also increases as they learn to draw recognizable objects and letters. They can stack blocks, put together simple puzzles, and dress themselves, for the most part. They should be able to ride a tricycle and catch a large ball. They will grow about three inches in a year.
The Challenge for Grandparents
Preschool children need a lot of exercise. You will be amazed at how long they can keep going! Grandparents can supervise outdoor games, but the grandchildren probably won't be happy if you are sitting in a lawn chair. They don't understand that grandparents may not be willing or able to jump, skip and climb as they do. Taking walks is a good compromise; the grandchildren can ride their tricycles if they want. Dancing is a good outlet for them on bad weather days. Their attention span for one activity is usually short, but sometimes they will latch on to one activity and want to do it over and over again.
Care and Feeding
One of the biggest concern with preschoolers is making sure that they get the proper nutrition, and those guidelines have changed somewhat due to the prevalence of childhood obesity in this country. The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends that preschoolers be given no more than 6 ounces of pure fruit juice in a day, and they should have been put on low-fat milk around the age of two.
The Challenge for Grandparents
Perhaps it is natural for grandparents to want to indulge their grandchildren by giving them sweet treats. This practice was perhaps not so bad back when treats were given once a day or less, and children were more active. It is wiser for grandparents today to indulge the grands with nuts, fresh fruit or low-fat dairy treats. There are numerous nonperishable but nutritious foods that can be kept in the pantry for surprise visits. Grandparents should also make mealtimes as low-key as possible and should resist pushing more food on their grandchildren.
Intellectual Development
Most preschoolers can express themselves well enough to ask for what they need. They will also ask lots of questions, including some that Grandma and Grandpa may not be able to answer! They should be learning the basic concepts of number, color and size, while beginning to have a grasp of less concrete concepts such as time and distance.
The Challenge for Grandparents
Although parents usually learn quickly to decipher their children's less-than-perfectly enunciated speech, grandparents may have more difficulty. The more you are around your grandchildren, the better you will understand their speech. Occasionally, however, you may have to ask a parent or older sibling to interpret. Grandparents can enhance preschoolers' learning by making a game out of counting household objects or playing "I Spy" with colors. Grandchildren can be encouraged to help with very simple household chores, such as setting the table with unbreakable dishes, which also involves skills of counting and arranging. If they go to preschool, they'll enjoy showing grandparents their classrooms and playgrounds. If they bring home papers from school, it's tempting to use them to teach them something, such as explaining something that they got wrong. Resist the temptation. Most of the time what they want to do is teach you what they have learned, and they will probably learn more by explaining it to you.
Behavior and Discipline
At 3 and 4, children are just learning to share, and there will still be pitched battles over some toy or other object. They may still have tantrums or meltdowns, but these will occur most often when a child is overtired or stressed. They need a lot of attention and praise. They need clear rules with specific consequences, but the consequences need not be harsh.
The Challenge for Grandparents
Grandparents, just like parents, need to let children work out their own problems as much as possible. If a tantrum is clearly brewing, sometimes it can be averted through distracting the child. If it hits, it is best to ignore the tantrum. After it seems to be mostly over, make some overture to the child to help him get over the tantrum gracefully without losing face. You do not, of course, give in to the child's demands, whatever they are. It's natural for grandparents to want to make the child feel better, but children have to learn to handle disappointment and frustration. When preschoolers behave well, it is important to praise them. One situation that is likely to occur is when the grandchildren are with their grandparents, they may misrepresent what their parents let them do. Most grandparents are canny enough not to fall for that old trick!
Favorite Activities for Preschoolers and Grandparents
- Draw, paint or color together
- Read books
- Build things with blocks or simpler building toys
- Use play kitchens, utensils and food
- Go to a playground
- Go for a walk
- Put together simple puzzles
- Play in a sprinkler or kiddie pool
- Blow bubbles
- Play dress-up
- Toss around a big, soft ball
- Engage in imaginative play

The National Association of Business Economics has just released its October survey. The economists forecast rising home prices and construction growth despite the fact that the overall economic growth estimate for this year was reduced from 2.4 to 1.9 percent. Given the recent drop in unemployment, which occurred subsequent to the survey, the results might be conservative.
Most of the economists who responded predicted housing starts would increase 23 percent this year and rise by 13 percent to 850,000 in 2013. However, a few of the responders predicted over a million starts in 2013. There was little consensus about the forecast of home prices next year. Predictions ranged from 0.6 percent to more than 5.6 percent.

Twenty-five years since the padlock and chain went round the Ayresome gates that now stand outside The Riverside. '86 and all that..... is just as memorable a date in Boro history as '66 (both 10 and 19 varieties) are in the national psyche.
How appropriate that the gates stand - unchained - now where they are and all the Parmo Army, know what they stand for.
Boro was, is and will remain a special club. The Parky dinner and events recently, the Boys of 67, the Jack Charlton era, '86, The Prem, Wembley, Cardiff, Eindhoven and what's happening now illustrates that.
Those are the ones I can point to - but my Dad and late Grandad have more and I fully expect my son will too.
When the time comes - whenever the time comes - Tee-Tee-Teessiders pull together. Have before - are now - will again. That's the nature of the area and the club.
I always remember some journo (what he wrote, not who he was) who referred to a famous Boro back line - Craggs, Boam, Maddren and Spraggon - as sounding and playing like they were hewn from the ironstone hills that formed the fiery valley the Tees runs through.
That material survives being rough hewn and polluted by those who should have known better - but haven't.
At heart - with head often over-ruled - the allegiance to the club is formed from the same stuff.
August is a quarter century since the re-birth at Hartlepool. How good it would be for a Mogga Boro to make this coming season another re-birth to remember - though the Infant Hercules may have to crawl again before we run.
3 Comments
Boro should play a memorial friendly at the Victoria Ground to commemorate the 'locked out' match they had to play in Hartlepool.
"Platt, Craggs, Boam, Maddren, Spraggon.......saying their names is like chewing a mouthfull of iron filings......"

Where to buy a whole pig ??????
Hi everyone, and thanks for your help.
I am trying to find a GOOD butcher in the LA area where I could buy a whole pig for roasting, feeding about 50-60 people (not a suckling).
I can get one in SF and drive it down, but what a pain ! Surely there must be a place in the LA area. In SF I can get a free range, heritage pig, but I may have to settle for just any whole pig here.
Any ideas ?
Where are you in L.A? Try Harvey Guss or Marconda's, both in the Mid City area.
Also a previous thread from last month
Harvey's Guss Meat Co
949 S Ogden Dr, Los Angeles, CA
Many years back, we hosted a chowhound fundraiser at which we roasted a whole pig in a caja china. At Ruskar's suggestion, we got the pig at Broadleaf Meat and Game in Vernon. Their website is here:
http://www.broadleafgame.com . The pig was superb, and Broadleaf got us exactly what we wanted at a great price. We did need to order in advance, however. Hope this is of some help.

I cover marketing strategy and product innovation.
For decades now, underwires have been a staple in the lingerie industry – and while millions of them are doing their job of providing support, they have also gained a reputation as being something less than comfortable. Now, Australian designer and lingerie entrepreneur Kay Cohen has developed a technology with the potential to make the underwire obsolete.
In July, Cohen's Silent Assembly brand introduced high-tech concept at the Mode City lingerie expo in Paris. She recently told WWD: "We are replacing underwires with a structure that is as strong as metal but way more comfortable." Inspired by the body scanning technology employed in movies, the new technology relies on nylon polymers which have a "memory" for the exact shape of a wearer's torso. Even if shaped by the wearer's movement, the polymers revert to their "remembered" shape.
Silent Assembly expects to achieve more than $2 million in wholesale sales for the collection, which will ship early next year to retailers in the U.S., Europe, Asia, Russia, the Middle East, as well as Cohen's native Australia.
Innovation doesn't come cheap – sets are expected to fetch around $300 at retail – but expect imitators to be hot on Silent Assembly's heels. Cohen, for one, expects to "launch a more accessible line fairly soon."
The great part about this technology is that it can be diversified and used for other things beyond lingerie. Personally I would pay $300+ for a bra if it didn't have wires but had the support because I spend $300 a year or more buying bras with wires in them anyway. I think that this could change the way women wear and look at themselves, as many feel uncomfortable and not confident about their size, shape, and support. Looking forward to seeing this on the market!
Hey Marc I agree. I have to say I was a bit caught off guard and made a point to comment on this post because it's unusual that a male editor would write about a sensitive female subject. So I'm curious what made you choose to write about this? :)
I doubt this technology will come out so soon. I can't find any place to buy Silent Assembly products yet and hence I am over with the hype. And it will soon be adopted by other companies like Kohen's other innovative technologies, when either it will be sold out, leaked or discovered by others. And yes Silent Assembly is not so coutury as it looks on their official website, Facebook and fashion show videos.

There was a big turnout for Birmingham's portion of the Alabama Kidney Foundation Walk-A-Thon on Saturday.
Despite the cold and rainy weather, close to 300 people participated in the walk at Homewood's Waldrop Stadium. ABC 33/40's Chief Meteorologist James Spann was also in attendance for Saturday's event as the Honorary Walk Chair.
The event was part of a series of walks which took place in cities around the state. The other cities participating include Dothan, Mobile, Montgomery and Huntsville.
The Alabama Kidney Foundation says the money raised by the Walk-A-Thon will be used to fund three programs offered, free of charge, to Alabama kidney patients in need. These free programs include Financial Assistance, Education, and Support Services.

attaching the Radio-Popper PX to the Lastolite Ezybox & Impact Quikbox
I've had a bit of a struggle attaching the RadioPopper PX receiver cradle securely to my favorite softbox, the Lastolite Ezybox. The problem is that the Lastolite softbox has a unique way of attaching the speedlight to the softbox bracket. The RadioPopper PX receiver sits in a cradle (to which the speedlight is fitted), and at the bottom of the RadioPopper cradle, is a 1/4 inch screw socket.
Even scrounging through my big box of random crap, I couldn't find a nut & bolt or something similar, to attach the RadioPopper cradle to the Lastolite bracket. And then I stumbled onto something that works juuuuust fine – the Matthews Microgrip hotshoe adapter (B&H)
I don't use the hot-shoe part for this – but the two discs are just the right width and grippy enough, to help grab the Lastolite Ezybox's bracket, and give that 1/4″ screw thread for the RadioPopper cradle. And it sits snugly. Perfect solution and quite simple.
This photo, also shown at the top, shows the difference:
On the left, the usual Lastolite bracket, holding the speedlight, or in this case, the PocketWizard TT5 unit and a speedlight.
On the right-hand side, is how the RadioPopper cradle is now attached, using the Matthews Microgrip hotshoe adapter (B&H). Problem solved.
The same problem would exist for the Impact Quikbox 24×24 (B&H), which is identical to the Lastolite Ezybox 24×24 (B&H).
There is of course, there is another workaround to mount the RadioPopper to the Lastolite Ezybox.
This Tilt-Head w/ Spigot (B&H) is a handy addition to any Lastolite softbox because it allows the softbox to be tilted forward (or up). It also has a hole for an umbrella in case you decide a shoot-through or bounce umbrella is a better option.
Since the PocketWizard flash triggers elevate the speedlight too high for the regular bracket (or lollipop) holding the actual softbox, you will need the Lastolite hotshoe mark2 bracket (B&H) to bring the flash and trigger to the correct height for the throat of the softbox.

See the CoLA HR page on Probationary Period for Instructors and Assistant Professors for a complete overview of probationary period policies, including procedures for requesting an extension ("stopping the tenure clock").
In brief: To request an extension of the probationary period a faculty member should write a letter to their chair, explaining the circumstances of the request. The chair will forward the request, along with a letter of support, to the dean. The dean in turn will send the letters to the Provost, accompanied with a letter of support from the dean. The Provost will then notify the dean when a decision has been made.

Courier staff writer
---- — OTTUMWA — The sound of the telephone ringing is evidence to Julie Smithart that residents of Wapello County do care.
The tornado damage to lives and property in Oklahoma has brought out the best in people, said Smithart, an AmeriCorps volunteer assigned to the Ottumwa office of the American Red Cross.
"I've been getting all sorts of phone calls today. Basically, they're asking what they can do, how to go about volunteering or donating," Smithart said.
The Ottumwa chapter's disaster team hasn't been dispatched to the area — yet.
"At this time, Red Cross teams in Oklahoma are assessing the situation," said Kara Kelly, an Iowa-based spokesperson for the Red Cross. "Once that assessment is complete, we'll know more about what the need is and if volunteers and the emergency response vehicles from the Iowa region are needed."
That makes sense to Smithart. Each extra person arriving on scene needs resources like food, water and shelter, all of which may be in short supply. So only necessary personnel will be sent.
There are ways Wapello County and other area residents can help, Smithart said. It may not sound as exciting, but the easiest thing to do is give money by going online to Redcross.org or calling 800-RED-CROSS. The disaster relief volunteers, despite the big red cross on the side of their truck, do not get free gas on the way to an emergency. While businesses are generous, there may be a need to purchase paper plates for a shelter or other things that aren't donated. The agency will often purchase things the average person may not think of as urgent — toiletries or cleaning supplies like bleach.
Trying to transport batches of clothing, when that may not be the priority, is better left for other agencies. Smithart has referred those with clothing to give to Goodwill or Salvation Army.
"[Money] not only travels easier but helps us to provide them with supplies when we get there," she said. "Not only are we providing food, shelter, drinks for [victims], we're also providing food and drink for the first responders."
The Oklahoma area does have Red Cross workers. And Tuesday morning, there were about 30 emergency response vehicles heading to the area from across the nation. As for what they'll need next, agency officials say, they plan to wait and see.

Peter Wright tries to shore up pack in final U20s' push
The Scotsman reports
Published: 14 March 2012
SCOTLAND Under-20 head coach Peter Wright has reshuffled the pack as he takes his team to Italy for the final game of the RBS Six Nations championship
After four defeats in the first four games, Wright says his focus is on getting his young side mentally prepared for the game in Brescia.
Despite running a good French side close at Netherdale in their previous outing at home, Wright believes their 26-point loss to Ireland was a step down in performance.
He said: "It's going to be a difficult last game, particularly after the step backwards we saw last week. Other than a change at scrum-half we're keeping the same backline but felt it was a good time to make some changes in the pack. The lineout struggled against Ireland, that's something we need to work on this week."
At scrum-half Murray McConnell (Glasgow Warriors/Ayr) start in place of Ospreys' Matt Torrance.
Dundee HSFP's Callum Reid gets a first start in the back row, replacing Jamie Swanson of Boroughmuir at No 8.
Adam Sinclair (Stirling County) returns to his starting berth alongside Jonny Gray (Hamilton) in the second row with Wright looking for the abrasive lock to help improve the misfiring lineout.
Currie's Fergus Scott will start at hooker after passing a fitness test, with George Turner (Edinburgh/Edinburgh Accies) moving to the bench.
Wright added: "When we saw Italy in their first matches they lacked structure and shape but they really turned it around in their last game against Wales. They looked really good.
"It's never easy to play Italy on their own patch, and they are big tough guys. They are coming off a good performance and playing at home while we are coming off a pretty disappointing performance and have to travel."
It's been a theme for the young Scotland side that they've come up against physically bigger teams and have struggled in the contact areas. Wright believes it is about finding a way to counter that disadvantage.
"It's been the case for us for a while now that we don't have size working to our advantage.
"We have to keep playing to our strengths and keep up the pace and mobility and hopefully work their forwards around the

Arizona hopes to land a $7.4 million federal Homeland Security grant, a portion of which could help fund a state system that will allow multiple police and fire agencies to communicate during emergencies.
Ex-Clean Elections official files claim
Committee switch keeps condemnation bill alive
Chuck Blanchard, Arizona's Homeland Security director, said Tuesday at least $2 million of the grant, if it is awarded, should go for the system. Blanchard, speaking to members of the Arizona Public Safety Communications Committee, said the money would only provide a short-term solution. The group is an ad hoc committee organized by the Arizona Department of Public Safety
As of now, police and fire agencies within the same community can rarely speak to each other on their radios, let alone speak to other agencies, said DPS Lt. Col. David Felix.
While an ad hoc committee was formed three years ago to look at a long-term solution to the problem, the immediate need for a short-term solution was drilled home during the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and after last year's Rodeo-Chediski fires, Felix said.
With a statewide radio system ranging from $60 million to $300 million, the state can't take care of the problem now, Felix said. However, federal grants may make it possible to buy equipment that can patch the different radio systems together.
Blanchard told the communications committee Tuesday the state has until April 22 to submit an grant application to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Should the federal government award the grant, the state might be able to follow Colorado's example and purchase technology that can bridge the gap between the different agencies, Blanchard said. Colorado received a $3 million grant from the Office of National Drug Control Policy to address its problems.
"Why don't we, off the top, devote some portion of our grant" to those technologies? Blanchard asked.
DPS Director Dennis Garrett told Blanchard he believes many members of the Arizona Sheriff's Association are already on board with that idea.
Frank Navarrette, director of the Division of Emergency Management, said some officials he has spoken with favor spending the entire grant on the communication problem.
Once the grant is awarded, every effort will be made to convince each of the counties to come to an accord, Navarrette said.
A report recommending the best three ways to implement a statewide communications system is expected by April 2004.
