She layed there calling out for over an hour. her cell phone was in the car and could not get to it. Our Neighbor heard her screaming but did'nt want to butt in.(her Words)I guess they have alot of screaming at their house and think it normal? (Brought me to tears, the thought of her laying there in pain. and cound'nt help her) Finally my brother got home from work and heard her screaming , got the ambulance called.. She broke her femur(thigh bone) just above her knee replacements.She is having surgery today ,not sure, but what they told my wife (RN) they are going to try to put a pin from the knee replacement past the broken part. She is overwieght , so they are not sure how the bones will hold up. She has very brittle bones just between the break and the knee replacement. Pray for her physical condition and for the family as this will be a family effort to take good care of her. I don't want her going to a nursing home for the rest of her life. Daily care is what she will require. We need guidance. I will let you know how things pan out.

Marilyn and I are sorry to hear this bad news about your mother. We empathize with her on several levels. This is in stark contrast to the recent good times with the wedding of your daughter. Your whole family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

From the latest medical research, there are pro's and con's to being moderately overweight in regards to bone breakage in the elderly. Of course, being severely overweight is another matter. While the weight, of course, adds additional stress to the bones, moderately overweight people, on the other hand, show a greater capacity to heal than their lighter counterparts.
The Femur is a large bone, with plenty of living tissue, that normally heals relatively easily, even in the elderly. So there is some reason for optimism.
There are also large amounts of fatty marrow in the femur, however, and in the elderly, a breakage there usually results in some temporary mental confusion which appears in the days following the injury.
I am horrified to hear that there may have been a neighbour who was listening and watching, but lacked the compassion to even go ask if there was something he or she could do.
Best wishes, and prayers, of course, for her quick recovery, and no complications.
Prayers are coming from NH
Hope all goes well

Phil, your family and your mom are in my prayers, Rick

My family and my own prayers are with you and your family. Hope your Mom does well and recovers soon.

Q:wold i need a dusting powder for this product, and if so which one would go best with nutts?Asked on 5/20/2012 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:You are more than welcome to use a dusting powder after our massage bars, however, you do not necessarily need to. A dusting powder would help to absorb excess oils from the skin if you don't like the feeling of moisture lingering on the skin. Since Nutts is a nice, light smell you could really use any of the dusting powders. I would recommend Vanilla Puff, as the chocolate scent would blend well with the light vanilla.Answered on 8/31/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

Wilson's rise to All-Star status didn't happen overnight. A .300 hitter in the minor leagues, it took Wilson three years in the Majors to get back to where he was hitting in the minors.
"I was thinking to myself this offseason," said Wilson, "looking at the back of my baseball card, 'What happened? What is so different?' And I realized there really wasn't much different. I was probably giving the pitchers too much credit. I really just wanted to go out there, relax and have fun more than I've had in any other season."
Always solid with the leather, the Pirates' lone representative at the Midsummer Classic credits hitting coach Gerald Perry and catcher Jason Kendall with helping him find his stroke.
"Gerald Perry said to me in the offseason, 'You have the hands to be a .300 hitter; you've just got to believe in yourself," Wilson said. "Go up to the plate and stop thinking -- just hit."
After getting a handle on the mental approach of hitting in the big leagues, Wilson began to watch and learn from his peers with confidence in his hitting ability.
"Watching Jason Kendall the past three or four years has been great for me," said Wilson. "He uses the whole field, and that's been my problem the past few years because I used to pull the ball a lot. They say hitting is contagious."
The results thus far have been impressive. Wilson's .322 batting average, 118 hits and 37 extra-base hits were tops among NL shortstops entering the All-Star break. Still, Wilson is humbled by the players he'll be sharing a dugout with on Tuesday night.
"You feel like a rookie again. You go to your locker and hopefully someone says 'Hi.'"
Wilson, one of three NL shortstops, isn't concerned about playing time in Tuesday's game. The most important thing to him is to simply enjoy the experience.
"I'm like a fan right now. I want to get all these guys' autographs."

With Randy Moss' time in Minnesota shockingly coming to an end after just four games, according to some reports, WR Sidney Rice all of a sudden has a chance to make a serious fantasy impact down the stretch.

I hope it gets them out of their collective funk BucBalla85 - bc watching them play at this level is disappointing
2009 and 2010 I went to about 10 games each season - open practices preseason and during the season at the Forum. 2011-2 about 3 games. This season - zilch. Barely even watch the games when they're on the HDTV. Bring on Opening Day MLB.
Still doesn't appear to be much D. Goalies getting 30+ stops a game, but it makes for some exciting hockey.
The turnovers coming out of their zone are killing them (and me!)
Good win last night. Needed it.

vacation rental description
Occupying 3 oceanfront lots on beautiful Flagler Beach, Seascape is a luxurious contemporary-style house with wraparound decks, a hot tub, brand-new electronics, and views to die for! Treat yourself to its unique charm and absolutely perfect location.
Poured concrete, steel, and glass blocks give this custom-built house a nouveau industrial look you're going to love. The second-story decks are cantilevered, and 2 spiral staircases – one indoors, one out – add a streamlined look to the décor. White is the dominant color indoors and out, creating a Mediterranean look when contrasted with the blue Atlantic Ocean. This is not your grandparents' beach house!
There are many, many wonderful views from Seascape, but your favorite is likely to be the upper deck overlooking the ocean. You're above the palms and other tropical undergrowth of the dunes here, looking out on the cinnamon-colored sands and pure blue sea.
When it's time to come indoors from sunbathing, birdwatching, or simply soaking in the blissful Flagler Beach weather, step into a huge, sleek living room with white tile, an enormous fireplace that keeps things cozy in winter, ultra-comfortable chrome and leather furniture, and a giant wall-mounted HDTV. Now this is really living! The ocean view comes inside with you, thanks to a wall of sliding glass doors, but the interior of Seascape is luxuriously cool and attractive.
Just beyond the living room is the angular kitchen, with a breakfast bar set with padded stools, a stainless-steel side-by-side refrigerator, and cabinets stocked with all the glasses, dishes, utensils, and cookware you could need. This kitchen is more than just a pretty face: it's equipped to help you prepare and serve everything from cocktails to Thanksgiving dinner! Just add groceries and you're all set!
The dining area is off in a sun-soaked room beyond the kitchen. There's another flat-screen TV here, great views, and nonstop brightness. After the meal, clear the table for a round of Spades before you leave! Or set up your laptop here – you have free wireless Internet at Seascape.
One of the most exciting spots at Seascape is the master suite. Complete with a Jacuzzi right outside the door on the patio, it's an indulgence you'll look forward to returning to every night! The bed is king-sized, looking out through the sliding glass doors to the private patio and ocean beyond. An HDTV offers entertainment, while the en-suite bathroom offer you absolute privacy. Don't go to bed without counting the stars out on the deck, glass of wine in hand!
The second bedroom is a treat as well, featuring a comfortable queen-sized bed and comfy loveseat. And our third bedroom offers a set of bunkbeds, a TV with DVD player and all the trimmings, a desk, and plenty of play space for the kids. The brand new fourth bedroom features a queen bed. Two more full bathrooms in the house ensure that there's no waiting in line during the morning rush to get dressed and out to the beach!
There is so much more to Seascape than just the interior rooms. In addition to the Jacuzzi outside the master bedroom, we have a place for casual seating and dining on the ground-floor patio, near the outdoor barbecue grill. Statuary and fountains fill our house, indoors and out, and a private boardwalk leads you over the dunes and right down to the beach. You'll be in heaven at Seascape!
Everything about this house is spacious, light, and open. It's a beach house with breathing room, plenty of private spaces, and a new view every time you turn around. Prepare to fall in love . . . and plan to come back as soon as you can!

Kretz & Romero, P.C. is one of the preferred firms to handle the staff and students immigration needs for New Mexico Tech and The University of New Mexico.
An Excerpt...
Ms. Romero has a long history of supporting the immigrant community in New Mexico. When I worked at Catholic Charities, she volunteered numerous hours to train the agency on a range of immigration matters. In the fall 2009, the University of New Mexico, School of Law created a new course, "Immigration Law Practicum," that focused on removal defense of immigrants. I co-taught the course and worked to develop the curriculum. Once again, Ms. Romero was always available to answer questions and provide suggestions as to appropriate course content for the practice oriented course. Finally, Ms. Kretz is an equally accomplished immigration attorney who is a leader in New Mexico for immigrant causes. She has practiced immigration law in New Mexico for more then 13 years and is a valuable resource to many agencies in the state. She provides consultation services for Catholic Charities and numerous pro bono hours.
An Excerpt...
I have been extremely impressed by the support that Kretz & Romero, P.C. have provided to the immigration Practicum class, a clinical immigration class that I have taught over the past year.... Ms. Romero and Ms. Kretz have served as mentors to many UNM [University of New Mexico] law students who aspire to join the field of immigration law. They have, therefore, my highest recommendation and support.
I have been working at NMT [New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology] for over 3 years and my responsibilities and duties include teaching, research and professional service in the current institution. However, if it were not for the comprehensive legal knowledge of Kretz & Romero,P.C., I would not have been living in the United States for the past two years, and my career as an assistant professor, as well as my life in the United States, would have been ruined...Although my case was complicated, it was handled effectively and knowledgeably, and I was thankful for the competence of the attorneys and staff members at Kretz & Romero, P.C. If I had left the country on my previous visa, I would have been required to wait two years until I could return, and all I had worked so hard for here would have been lost in the meantime. Not only did my lawyer save my career and my life in the United States, but my case was handled clearly and professionally throughout the entire process. It is the complexity of my case and my experience in working with the firm that compels me to extend my recommendation of them, as they have proven their excellence in knowledge of the law and in the quality of service and their staff.

I have personally and professionally known both Mary Ann Romero and Caterina Kretz for several years now. Kretz & Romero are on our agency's immigration attorney referral list for immigrants that approach Catholic Charities for immigration legal services we do not provide, such as employment-based visas and more complex immigration cases that our organization does not have the resources or expertise to handle. I often recommend the Kretz & Romero firm to immigrants seeking legal assistance with the complex immigration process. I have found the firm to be both competent and professional, and I heard this from clients who have worked with the firm in the past. I have had the pleasure of co-presenting legal workshops to attorneys in New Mexico with both Ms. Kretz and Ms. Romero and they are often the first local immigration attorneys I call when I have an immigration legal question. I also know of Ms. Romero's previous recognition by the State Bar of New Mexico for her service to the legal community in New Mexico.
Mary Ann Romero, partner in the firm, has provided countless hours of support for UNM [University of New Mexico] departments and the students that they serve. Mary Ann received her Juris Doctorate from UNM and was active with El Centro throughout her education and currently provides priceless information, support, and honesty for students and their families across the state. In 2008, Mary Ann presented for UNM Immigration Symposium on a panel discussing the truth and challenges around immigration. Additionally, she offers workshops and information sessions both here on campus and in her office free of charge or minimal cost for students and staff working to provide critical information. I can not reiterate enough the important role Mary Ann and her firm currently provides for the UNM community. Mary Ann has demonstrated throughout the years how important it is to go the extra mile on behalf of students, families, UNM staffers, and the community. She is well respected in her field and is current in state and federal immigration law. Personally, I don't know what I would do without her support and knowledge base as we assist the largest growing population of immigrant students who have chosen UNM to be their university for success.
A friend of ours was our referral to go with Kretz & Romero. It was a really nice experience when we went for the first time and signed our contract. From the very first moment we felt and had the feeling that they would definitely help us out with our case. They have been very compassionate, caring and tried 110% for our case. They have been very involved and have kept us up to date from the very beginning. They have always been honest and have prepared us for what to expect and the process. Their firm has been a good advocate for our family through our process. I would definitely recommend others to their firm for any immigration case!
After being a client for over a year at Kretz & Romero, I am very happy from the great service I have received from them. They have treated me and my family with a lot of care and respect. I must say we were a little apprehensive contacting an immigration attorney at first but seeking out an experienced and qualified immigration attorney was one of the best and smartest thing I could have ever done in my case. They walked us through the process and put us on a path to get our situation resolved. I am a bit afraid to think of what might of happened if we did not hire Kretz & Romero to take on our case. One thing is for certain it would of been much more difficult and our outcome probably would not have been in the positive. The one greatest asset I feel Kretz & Romero have over some other attorneys I have went to see is all the support from their entire staff at Kretz & Romero, especially the attorneys is far superior. I am so glad they were referred to us and I would and will recommended them to other friends and family members with any immigration needs they may have.
After consulting a few different lawyers for our immigration case, and being scared away, we were referred to Kretz & Romero law firm. We had been left with little hope until we walked into Kretz & Romero. After our initial meeting with Caterina Kretz we walked away feeling like we had heard the truth, and despite our difficult situation, we were assured that Caterina and her firm would do the best they possibly could to help us to resolve our issue. With the frequent communication with Caterina's staff (Imelda and Rosario) we were pleased with the updates given to us and everyone's attention to our case. We were extremely satisfied with the attitude of the firm and how quickly our case was resolved. From our initial meeting with Caterina, until we had our appointment with Immigration, our case was fixed within six months! We highly recommend this law firm because of their dedication to each individual case, and their honesty to inform you of the various possibilities of your situation. Our lives have changed since Caterina and her firm agreed to help us and were able to get my husband his Residency Card. Thank you again, Caterina, Rosario, and Imelda for ALL of your help! We will forever appreciate you.
After thirteen years of struggling with our case of adoption with another lawyer, we switched to Kretz and Romero and Caterina took our case. When we met her, right away we felt that she was honest and willing to help us. She mentioned she was going to do the best in her abilities to work on the case. They are very professional and dedicated. If there is a solution they will find it. We would recommend Kretz and Romero, they really changed our lives and we thank them for that.
Caterina, I just wanted to send an email thanking you and your law firm for all the guidance and assistance with my immigration legalities over the last three plus years. When my wife and I came to you over three yeas ago, your firm assisted us with the proper path for the green the card process. After we finished the program and we got the card, we then went through the proper channels to get our green card extension. And then after three years of you assisting us through the proper steps for the United States Citizenship and especially the last 30 days, my wife is now a United States Citizen. Also, we had a neighbor that was in need of your assistance with the same immigration matters out of England and you were able to assist their needs as well. Our neighbors were quite grateful for the services and guidance you provided. You run a first rate law firm at " Kretz & Romero, P.C." and I will continue to work with you on my immigration legal matters and share the firms name to people needing your services. Thank You Again.
Hello, I felt compelled to send a letter in the mail and share my experience with Kretz & Romero for anyone looking for a good immigration law firm. I found Kretz & Romero strictly by the internet, when I did a Google search for an immigration attorney in the Roswell area. I was rather impressed by their dominance in the search engines and I was compelled to give them a call especially after reading their testimonial section of their website. I have only been a client of theirs since March of 2011 but have already seen great results after they processed my filing so rapidly. Another big plus for me was being able to be in contact with my attorney (Cathy) if a question came up, that was very important to me. I also really like that the entire staff and attorneys are fluent in Spanish and English. When we started this process I had no idea how hard and time consuming the process can be when dealing in matters of immigration. I have no doubt my husband would not have received his residency as quickly as he did were it not for Kretz & Romero. The things I love about Kretz & Romero are the availability of the entire staff, whether it be via email, phone or Skype. You can tell just by their website alone they go above and beyond most other immigration attorneys in the services they provide. Thank you.
Hello, I have been a client of Kretz and Romero almost a year now. I was referred to them by a relative and a couple of people who were also clients of theirs. They told me what a great experience they had with the law office. We had a few reservations about looking for an immigration attorney but everyone at Kretz and Romero helped ease our fears. The attorneys explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and we know now that they are here to help you. When we started this process I had no idea how much paperwork there was to fill out but the staff at Kretz and Romero, P.C. made it so easy. What we liked the most about Kretz and Romero is that all the staff is very friendly. Every time we have a concern or question they would help right away, there was nothing we didn't like about the office. I received my permit I was applying for which makes me very happy because I'll be able to get a better job to support my family. If I would not have gotten my permit I would still be working minimum wage jobs, barely being able to pay my bills. I'm so thankful to everyone at Kretz and Romero, PC who helped me. We would definitely recommend Kretz and Romero to our family and friends, it was a good experience.
Hello, I would like to tell you of my experience with Kretz and Romero. I was referred to them by a friend and after I met with Cathy I felt very comfortable with her and knew she could help me with receiving my residence. I have been a client of hers since 2002. She and all her staff are very friendly, effective, responsible and respectful. One of the things that I found very helpful and reassuring to me was how Cathy and her staff kept me updated in my case with appointments and telephone calls from her assistants. While I came to Cathy over 10 years ago because I was undocumented I have learned so much about immigration and I know now that I should not have ignored the laws before but now I have a new respect for immigration law. After a very difficult case Cathy got me my residence. If I would not have hired Cathy I would still be in this country as an illegal person. I was treated very well by her office with friendliness with which they treat all their clients. I would not hesitate to recommend Kretz and Romero to anyone who needs a great immigration attorney. Thank you...
Hi Mary Ann, I hope you are doing well. I just received my green card in the mail today and all the credit goes to you. You changed my life and I am so grateful to you. Thank you so much! I really appreciate your time and support.
Hi, I would like to tell you a little bit about my experience with Kretz and Romero. Since I started my journey to become a United States citizen my understanding of immigration law has changed. Even though I have only been a client of Kretz & Romero for six months I have already become a United States citizen. I was referred to their office by a friend. I also noticed their website on the internet while doing searches. One of the things that I really liked about their office was their professionalism and desire to help. If it were not for Kretz and Romero I would not have become a United States citizen. I would recommend them in a heart beat to family and friends!
I had heard that the attorneys at Kretz and Romero were great on numerous occasions. I was in need of getting my green card and after talking to family and friends they had also mentioned that they thought I should go see Kretz & Romero to help me to get my green card. Then I saw them on TV and decided to give them a call. After talking to one of the attorneys I felt very comfortable hiring them to help me get my green card. All the staff at Kretz and Romero are very nice and they always answer the phone and answered all my questions. I now have my green card so I'm able to work now. I think if I chose any other immigration attorney my process would have been slower and I wouldn't have my green card already. I received very good service and I'm very satisfied with how everything went and how quickly I was able to receive my green card. There is no doubt that I will recommend Kretz & Romero to other friends and family members who are in need of a good immigration law firm.
I have been a client of Kretz & Romero Law P.C. for about four months. My husband got picked up by ICE in September 2012. I didn't want him to get deported because he had been deported before. I think I called about every immigration attorney I could possibly call and they all told me that they could not help me. Several people told me to call Kretz & Romero. I called and made an appointment with Kretz & Romero and also had another appointment that afternoon with a different immigration attorney that was also referred to me. When I walked into Kretz & Romero it was so welcoming and all their staff were very nice and helpful. When my sister and I meet with Cathy Kretz we explained the whole situation my husband was in. She was very honest with us and explained everything to us. She told me what she could and couldn't do for my husband. She explained my options and also told me it wasn't going to be easy. She told me to think about it. My sister and I walked out of her office and we both knew right then that we wanted Cathy as our attorney to help us with my husbands case. I knew she would help us in every way she possibly could. When I walked out of her office I felt more at ease and felt like my husband at least had a chance to be able to stay here with his family. Cathy couldn't of been anymore helpful then she was. All my email were always answered. When Cathy wasn't in the office the staff would always help me with what I needed. Cathy was able to bring my husband home in 3 1/2 months. I would recommend Kretz & Romero to anyone they were so helpful to my family and now my family is back together because of Cathy.
I have been a client of Kretz and Romero for 4 months now. I started my case back in April of 2012. I was looking for someone to help my husband who had been deported back in May of 2011. I went to the archdiocese of Santa Fe/Catholic charities for help. They referred me to Kretz & Romero, P.C. with my husband's deportation case. I went on-line and did a Google search for Kretz and Romero and found their website and decided to give them a call after I looked over their website. I got an appointment with Mary Ann Romero. In our initial meeting I told her that other immigration attorneys said there was nothing that could be done and the case was just impossible. She explained my options to me and was very open and honest. She also told me it was not going to be easy but she thought we had a chance to win. I hired her to help my husband with his deportation case. In just four months she was able to bring back my husband to me when all the other attorneys said it could not be done. I will never choose another immigration law firm other than Kretz and Romero. Mary Ann is very knowledge of immigration law and combined with her patients with me through this whole process it was very reassuring to me. If it wasn't for Mary Ann's help I probably wouldn't have my husband here with me in the United States today. I have already referred her office to other friends and family members that are in need of immigration help.
I have been a client of Kretz and Romero P.C. for nearly a year now. I originally came to them for help with my immigration papers. Some concerns I had about going to an immigration attorney were if the attorneys would be knowledgeable in the field of immigration but more importantly if they were going to treat me as an individual and not just as another case to them. After meeting the attorneys and staff at Kretz Romero my concerns were put to rest. After being a client with them for almost a year I have learned so much about immigrants rights. I also love the fast response to e-mails and how the whole staff and attorneys are able to answer any and all questions that I have. I have received all the help I needed in my case and so much more. I really do not know where I would be right now without their help. I will recommend Kretz and Romero in a heartbeat to any family members or friends who need immigration help.
I have had an excellent experience with Caterina Kretz and her office staff. I have worked closely with Caterina since around 1999 and she has helped me bring many of my relatives and their families from overseas as well as assisting us with immigrations proceedings here in the United States. Her paralegal Imelda Sandoval has also been excellent in keeping me on top of what is necessary and assisting me in organizing documents that are needed. Caterina Kretz is very honest and upfront and explains in detail what is necessary and needed for cases to succeed. She has helped us win the most challenging immigration cases and I personally am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Cathy and her staff. I highly recommend Caterina Kretz and the law offices of Kretz and Romero to anyone that is in need of assistance or advice. On behalf of me and my family: Thank You Caterina and Thank You to all of your staff that has helped me and my family! You guys are the Best!
K&R handled our case professionally, efficiently, and successfully. We selected them because it was clear from the start that they had a complete understanding of the complexities of the law, and a clear vision as to what our approach should be. As our case progressed, we realized that they also had knowledge of, and relationships with, the key people who would be involved in our case. The combination of technical and human expertise made K&R a great choice for us.
Kretz and Romero PC helped us so much by educating us to the immigration process, before we went with them we did not understand the immigration process but now we have a better understanding of it. We were recommended to them by a family member. I've been a client since 2006 and they help me get my residency. They cleared up any questions I had with the responses they gave me. I like the friendliness and speed of the office and I can truly say there wasn't anything I dislike about their office.
My husband and I highly recommend Kretz & Romero Law Firm to our friends and family for their immigration needs. They are very helpful and positive through out the whole immigration process. They are a very professional and experienced team and up to date on all immigration laws and forms as they change.
The reason I chose Kretz & Romero to handle my immigration matter was because Cathy had helped one of my family members back in 2003 and I really liked her from the very first time I meet her. I just got a good vibe from her that she really cared about me and our case. I had no hesitation going straight back to her to help me again with our Residency case. She answered all our questions about our case with very direct but simple answers that clarified all our questions and concerns about our case. This has been a huge learning curve for us on how the immigration process really works and everyone at her office is so very helpful. If we had not went with Kretz & Romero the amount of time and effort it would have taken us to accomplish our case would have been so much longer if not impossible for us to do. The one thing we really like about Kretz & Romero is the attention to detail you receive from them when they are handling your immigration case. We have and will continue to recommend them.
The reason we chose Kretz and Romero was because we were referred by an acquaintance. I wanted to help my husband with his legalization I didn't want to be afraid of him being out and getting deported. We are very pleased with the results Kretz and Romero helped us receive. Both of the attorneys were awesome, my husband will now be able to become a United States citizen in less than three years! Also we will be planning our long for wished honeymoon! We have been a client of Kretz and Romero almost half a year now. We had some concerns that no one would be able to help us with our case, but we know now there are attorneys out there able to help us Hispanics with our immigration concerns and issues. Since going through this process both my husband and I see things differently. He feels very welcomed and appreciated (all in a good way)! He is very happy and so am I. I know if I would not have went to Kretz Romero I would still be doubting and scared for my husband. I would also still be wishing we could take our honeymoon in Hawaii, LOL! I am very grateful for your team! Now both my husband and I can travel freely! We both liked the fact that Mary Ann explained all terms and everything else very well! Thanks! We felt at times the response back to a question or concern took a little longer than we thought it should but other than that all was great. We would absolutely recommend Kretz and Romero to our friends and family for any immigration needs they may have.

There were 31 rounds of selections, and more than 900 names announced during the conference call. A large number of those amateurs won't sign and will drift back into anonymity. But that doesn't mean a baseball fan shouldn't pay attention to who goes in Day 2.
Major League organizations often use later picks for draft-and-follows -- retaining the rights to a player until just prior to next year's draft -- to make sure their short season affiliates have complete rosters and to take a chance on some talented players who have slid to the second day.
Every year, several players who are projected to go earlier in the drafting process slip to Day 2 for a number of reasons. There's always the signability issue, when players who have certain bonus demands have made it clear they'll go back to school if they are not met.
Signability drops aren't always money-related. They can be tied to a high school player having a strong desire to go to college and asking for a certain amount -- one that would entice him from doing what he really wanted to do. And there'll be the occasional top-tier talent who will go very late in the draft because of an injury or a history of injuries.
Taking a closer look at the final 31 rounds of the draft, there are several names -- players who, in a different situation, could have been picked in the early stages of Day 1 -- that jump out.
Marc Cornell, RHP, Ohio U., 19th Round, Texas Rangers: Once upon a time (last year), Cornell was seen as a possible first-round pick. Throwing a fastball in the upper 90s, his name was even mentioned as a candidate for the top spot. But then he hurt his shoulder and fell to the fifth round. He didn't sign, and went back to Ohio University for his senior year. Shoulder problems continued to plague him, and he only threw 19 innings. But if you're the Rangers, why not? They need pitching, Cornell has little leverage because he's a senior and, if he can get past the injury, they had a first-round talent fall to them in the 19th round.
Micah Owings, RHP/1B, Georgia Tech, 19th Round, Chicago Cubs: This one isn't injury-related. Owings is a draft-eligible sophomore, and that gives him some signing leverage. If he doesn't get what he wanted, he has the option of going back to school for his junior year (while still having some leverage once the 2005 draft rolled around). Reports were that he was looking for something in the $1 million range as a bonus. Most teams passed -- until the Cubs took a chance in the 19th. Chances are he'll head back to Tech, but you never know.
Matt Moore, 3B, no school, 22nd round, Anaheim Angels: The name might seem familiar to college football fans. Moore was UCLA's quarterback before dropping out to try his hand at baseball. He hasn't played in three years, and he was scouted playing in an adult league in southern California. He's a good athlete with future power potential if he can rediscover his baseball skills.
Bill Becher, 1B, New Mexico St., 22nd round, St. Louis Cardinals: Why not take a flyer on a college home run champ? Becher hit 31 out last year and 25 this year. If he can make the transition to pro ball, he could be a future run producer.
Andrew Romine, SS, Trabuco Hills H.S., 36th round, Philadelphia Phillies: The son of former big leaguer Kevin Romine is almost definitely college-bound. His dad starred at Arizona State University and the family let it be known it would take first-round money to keep the younger Romine from going to ASU as well.
Matt Harrington, RHP, no school, 36th round, New York Yankees: Remember him? Believe it or not, this is the fifth time Harrington has been selected in the First-Year Player Draft. Once upon a time, he was a highly touted pitching prospect who could throw in the mid-90s. He was taken seventh overall by the Rockies in 2000, but didn't sign. So he headed to the Northern League -- a la J.D. Drew -- and was taken in the second round by the Padres in 2001. Again, no signing. It was back to independent ball for Harrington, who was drafted in the 13th round in 2002 (Devil Rays) and in the 24th round last year (Reds), but, you guessed it, never came to terms with either team. Meanwhile, he doesn't seem to be the pitcher he once was, at least in terms of velocity. His last port of call was the Fort Worth Cats in the Central League, and the Yankees decided to give Harrington one more shot to join affiliated baseball.
Todd Frazier, OF, Toms River H.S. South, 37th round, Colorado Rockies: Considered -- along with his brother Jeff - to be a top five rounds guy, the younger Frazier dropped all the way to round No. 37. Jeff went in the third round to the Tigers after a fine career at Rutgers University, and it's possible that Todd's commitment to the same school was too strong for teams to take a chance on him earlier.
Andrew Gale, RHP, Phillips Exeter Academy, 43rd round, Montreal Expos: The son of former big leaguer Rich Gale is considered to be one of the top arms coming out of New England. He began this season poorly, but was that enough to knock him all the way to the 43rd round? More likely, it was this top-notch student's commitment to the University of North Carolina that caused the slide.

Ann Arbor's fascination with Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger is well documented."It's the best burgers in town. That's what makes it so special. Best burgers in town," said one customer.So it was no surprise to see people lined up out the door at lunchtime on Friday."This is the place in Ann Arbor to come for a hamburger," said another patron.But nothing is forever, including their location on South Division. Owner Richard Magner has been asked to find a new home."The university offered my landlady an amount of money she couldn't refuse," he said.The university paid just over a million dollars for the Blimpy Burger location and a house next door. They plan to build a graduate residence hall in their place.So you only have a few months to enjoy the old location.

Although architectural works are often viewed as cultural or political symbols, they can also be considered art -- even fine art. Dutch artist M.C. Escher used a pencil to produce intricate and dramatic light-and-shadow drawings of structures and designs. Raphael Sanzio was a Renaissance painter and architect who painted beautiful structures around his subjects.
So now you know: There's a whole new world of architecture prints and posters for the discerning decorator, architect, or builder -- at barewalls.com.

Rum is a drink that lends itself to being enjoyed in a number of different ways; with a mixer, as the base for a cocktail such as the Mojito, and on its own, as a bracing restorative. Rum was founded on the back of the sugar cane industries in the West Indies.White rum is a standard drink in the Caribbean with well known brands like Barcardi,and Havana Club. Dark rum such as Captain Morgans, Lambs Navy and Inner Circle are aged from anywhere between 3 and 12 years and its heavier consistency and deeper flavours lend itself to being drunk on its own, although some cocktails do benefit from its weight.
The International Wine and Spirit Competition aims to promote the quality and excellence of the world's best wines, spirits and liqueurs. All rum entrants are blind tasted by experts, and with entries from over 80 countries worldwide you can be sure rums with this award are of a superior taste and quality.

text: Well, I think that the .10 bonus on the lutz negates some of the deduction for the inside edge. I wish she'd learn to do a proper lutz takeoff and use 2z-3t until she has a true 3z. This would give her practice on doing 3t on the back of a jump combination. If she put this in place of her current 3z, she'd have to omit the 2t from the 2a-2t. I believe the impact to her TES would be a loss of 1.18. She could make some of that back if she added a difficult feature or two to the 2a. I think she's capable of that because 2a is a strong jump for her and her legs are fresh at the beginning of the program. Also, if she's able to show better technique on the 2z-3t than she is on the 3z, she'd be gaining back the guaranteed loss of 1.0 in GOE. So happy for her success, but this has to be one of the worst flutzes ever. Never at any time is she even on the outside edge of the non-landing foot. They should call it a flip. What's scary is that they could call it a flip w/in the rules, I believe. And you know that's going to happen at the worst possible moment. I wonder why she's doing 3l+2a+seq instead of 3l2t. 3l3t is within reach for her, so I'm not sure why she's doing the much trickier 3l+2a+seq as it's riskier, imo, instead of working on the loop-toe combo. And it's only worth .24 more, if my math is right. I GUESS WE'LL NEVER KNOW

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – Nine SEC teams are bowl eligible, and where they'll all wind up and who they will play will be determined after Saturday's games.
But it is never too early to start guessing how things will pan out. Games are listed in descending order of play (all times Eastern).
Oh, and by the way, if Wisconsin upsets Nebraska this weekend, these predictions are all out the window.
Alabama vs. Notre Dame – The dream matchup of the NCAA and the powers-that-be in college football will happen if the Crimson Tide can get past Georgia in the SEC championship game. That won't be an easy task, but Alabama got new life after a pair of upsets at the top of the BCS standings catapulted it back into the hunt for the championship game. Should the Bulldogs win, they'll get this berth instead. Alabama is currently ranked higher, so it earns the projection.
Notre Dame is the longest of long shots after starting the season unranked, and was on no one's radar for the national championship game until about three weeks ago when the Tide lost to Texas A&M. The Fighting Irish (12-0) survived two overtime games and three others decided by one score to become the only undefeated team eligible for postseason play.
Texas A&M vs. Texas – The only people who will be happy about this game will be the executives at the Cotton Bowl and FOX. The Aggies (10-2, 6-2) are dead to Texas after leaving the Big XII, and having to face them in a bowl game will be about as well received as a slap in the face.
A&M hates Texas even more than that, and is well rid of the Longhorns (8-3, 5-3). Or so they thought. Texas last made the Cotton Bowl in 2003, which is also the last time a current member of the Big XII won the game. This matchup, however, is not a guarantee. The Big XII will have to get one of its teams in the BCS as an at-large team to make it happen, which means Oklahoma has to beat TCU this weekend.
If Texas loses to Kansas State this Saturday, the Longhorns could have the same record as Oklahoma State. On the flip side, LSU and South Carolina are both teams that could get the SEC's invitation in A&M's place. But if given the chance, the Cotton Bowl will not let this matchup slip away.
The Cotton Bowl has not been kind to Texas A&M. The Aggies last won it in 1988 and have six losses in that time.
Florida vs. Oklahoma – Florida is already guaranteed a trip to New Orleans by virtue of its BCS ranking. Oklahoma has to beat TCU to have a shot at an at-large BCS berth.
The chance to hold a rematch from the 2008 national championship game would be a major attraction to the Sugar Bowl choosing Oklahoma. The Sooners (9-2, 7-1) would bring an explosive offense to face the Gators' old school crushing defense and relentless running game.
Oklahoma hasn't fared well against SEC schools in recent years, suffering losses in the national championship game to Florida and LSU.
Georgia vs. Michigan – With Ohio State and Penn State ineligible for postseason play, every bowl the Big Ten has a tie-in to will take a hit in terms of a quality matchup. Michigan had a more than respectable season, but suffers from a severe perception problem because of the weak Big Ten and a 41-14 season-opening drubbing the Wolverines (8-4, 6-2) took at the hands of Alabama.
If Alabama loses to Georgia in the SEC championship game, the Tide would be chosen for this bowl and hand Michigan a season-ending drubbing. Georgia (11-1, 7-1), which is very similar to the Tide in both numbers and style of play, will do the same.
LSU vs. Northwestern – The Outback Bowl is at the Cotton Bowl's mercy. Should the Cotton Bowl take Texas A&M, as projected here, that would leave the Outback Bowl to pick between LSU and South Carolina.
Should the Cotton Bowl go with LSU (10-2, 6-2), the Outback will likely take South Carolina. On the Big Ten side, Northwestern is the logical choice, unless Wisconsin is able to upset Nebraska in this week's championship game. That would bump every Big 10 team down one spot and put Michigan here and Nebraska in the Capital One.
Northwestern (9-3, 5-3) has had a good season, but battles the same perception issue all Big Ten teams are facing right now. No matter who ends up here from the SEC, the Wildcats will be no match for them.
Mississippi State vs. Wisconsin – By virtue of their loss to Ole Miss to end the season, the Bulldogs' chances for a better bowl were crushed. The Gator Bowl was Mississippi State's likely destination anyway, but the Bulldogs are far less appealing now and could be passed over for Vanderbilt, which has the same overall record as the Bulldogs (8-4, 4-4) but a better conference mark.
If Wisconsin is unable to topple Nebraska in the Big Ten championship game, the Badgers (7-5, 4-4) will default here. No one has been a bigger beneficiary of the NCAA sanctions leveled against Ohio State and Penn State than Wisconsin. Both those teams are ahead of the Badgers in the Big Ten Leaders division.
Both of these teams will be reeling entering this game. Mississippi State has lost four of its last five games and Wisconsin would be on a three-game losing skid. Wisconsin would have six losses entering the game, but five of those are by a field goal, including an earlier loss to Nebraska, and three came in overtime. The Badgers are better than their record shows, and will prove it.
South Carolina vs. Clemson – Whoever is left over from Texas A&M, LSU and South Carolina, the Chick-fil-A Bowl will happily snatch up. If that should be the Gamecocks (10-2, 6-2), a rematch with archrival Clemson could be in store.
Clemson (10-2, 7-1) could be in line for a BCS at-large berth, which would put North Carolina N.C. State (Miami self-imposed a bowl ban) in this game. Should Florida State lose to Georgia Tech in the ACC title game, the Seminoles would get the nod. It will take a little bit of luck for the Chick-fil-A Bowl to get such a high-profile game, but it's certainly not out of the question.
Clemson would love the opportunity to avenge the 27-17 loss it suffered the Gamecocks to end the regular season. Steve Spurrier would love the opportunity to give "that school that used to beat us a lot but doesn't beat us much anymore" yet another loss – their fifth straight to the Gamecocks – and he will get his wish.
Ole Miss vs. Tulsa – The Rebels held out as long as they could before becoming bowl eligible and will likely end up in Memphis. The SEC's final two bowl bids don't have an official order of selection. The two bowls work in concert with each other and the league office to set the matchups.
With Memphis a stone's throw from Oxford, and Vanderbilt located in the same city as the Music City Bowl, the geographic tie-in is a no-brainer. The opponent will be the winner of the Conference USA championship game this weekend between Tulsa and Central Florida.
Tulsa (9-3, 7-1) picked up a two-point win over the Golden Knights two weeks ago, so it gets the projection. Ole Miss (6-6, 3-5) has been sporadic at times, and has the tendency to blow leads in the fourth quarter, but every loss the Rebels have is to a BCS conference team. That won't change.
Vanderbilt vs. Virginia Tech – Should Vanderbilt end up in the Gator Bowl, Mississippi State would take its place here. The other team in this game is anyone's guess.
The Music City Bowl has a tie-in for the sixth selection from the ACC. Should the conference get a BCS at-large berth in addition to its champion, it would be between Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech and Duke. Without two teams in BCS games, N.C. State and Duke are also in play.
There is such a logjam in the ACC behind its top two teams that it's difficult to make sense of. Nevertheless, proximity and name recognition are taking precedent in this projection, and the nod goes to the Hokies (6-6, 4-4).
Vanderbilt has shown it is a legitimate threat to anyone it faces and has won six straight games. A win in their bowl game would make coach James Franklin the hottest name in college football and give the Commodores (8-4, 5-3) their second nine-win season in school history. The other came in 1915. They get it.

DANVERS. Mass. — A police affidavit was unsealed Friday in the recent slaying of a popular high school math teacher, disclosing scary details tying the 14-year-old student defendant in the case to the murder.
The affidavit by State Trooper Robert C. LaBarge Jr., said teacher Colleen Ritzer, 24, was raped and killed Oct. 22 when her throat was cut with a box cutter in a girls bathroom at Danvers High School in this Boston suburb.
The affidavit said the murder was planned and that a folded note -- declaring, "I hate you all." -- was found next to Ritzer's partially buried body in the woods adjacent to the school early the next day. The document said her body was in a sexually staged position and mostly naked.
Philip D. Chism, a freshman in Ritzer's math class, was indicted Thursday by a grand jury on first-degree murder, aggravated rape and armed robbery charges -- the latter stemming from theft of the teacher's credit cards, underwear and cellphone.
The teenager was arrested and held without bail as an adult defendant the day Ritzer's body was discovered. But the police affidavit was sealed until after the grand jury could hear the case and return indictments.
The affidavit said school surveillence cameras showed Ritzer talking with another teacher in a second-floor hallway around 2:30 p.m. on the day of the murder, then heading to the nearby girls bathroom. The videotape shows Chism, wearing a hooded sweatshirt over his head and putting on gloves, entering the bathroom a few minutes after Ritzer, said the affidavit.
There's no surveillance camera in the bathroom but the hallway cameras showed Chism leaving the bathroom -- now wearing a white T-shirt, jeans and gray sneakers -- and returning to the teacher's classroom, which he then leaves, wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and carrying a backpack, and two bags.

At the risk of being perceived as a middle-aged guy trying to be cool, all I can say is this: OMG! This fall veggie pizza is so good.
If you want to try something totally different, keep reading. Whether you're grilling with charcoal or gas, or baking in the oven, it doesn't matter. You will love this. We did this over charcoal, but I will cover the other cooking methods as well.
Here are the veggies you need: Fresh beets, butternut squash, carrots and fennel. Cut just a few slices of each, enough to cover a medium pizza, the size you would buy in the frozen section of the supermarket.
Cut all veggies into slices roughly ¼ (or thinner) inches thick. With the carrots, cut lengthwise or else the pieces will fall through the grill. With the squash, you will need to halve it and scoop out the seeds. Then peel it and slice it. Be careful with the squash. That's an injury zone for sure.
Brush with olive oil and add salt and pepper on both sides of all veggies. If you are grilling, set up your grill with indirect heat (one half of the grill has no flame) and place the veggies on the side not directly over the heat. Close the lid and allow to roast for 20 to 30 minutes. If you are doing this in an oven, roast on a cookie sheet at 375 degrees for the same amount of time, although you are really missing some great flavor by not grilling them.
If you are grilling, after 20 minutes or so, move the veggies over the direct flame. Grill to create those beautiful grill marks and add some texture. It shouldn't talk long at all, no more than 5 minutes total.
We used homemade whole wheat crust for this pizza. There are some great recipes online. You can also use the precooked crusts available in the stores. If you are using homemade crust, spread the dough out on a pizza stone that has been rubbed with olive oil. If you are using a precooked crust, place it on a pizza stone.

Appearance: Very dark brown, almost black with thin frothy ring, but some cling. Some powdery looking debris that falls to the bottom quickly.
Smell: Rich, roasted, malty aroma that smells clean. Some milk and chocolate notes.
Taste: A nice roasted malt taste with just enough hop to highlight the malt. Hops become more apparent as the beer warms.
Mouthfeel: Medium mouthfeel.
Drinkability: A great porter and pleasantly surprised on how good this is.

Poured a deep brown-ruby color with nice big creamy head,very appetizing smell of rich chocolate and deeply roasted malt.Taste was of dark roast coffee and bitter chocolate with some lingering earthiness.Very smooth and velvety and pretty easy to drink a real nice porter from my favorite brewer.

Very dark, nearly black, ever-so-slight amount of light that escapes around the edges, letting in some faint brown and dark ruby red, but that's about it. Thick tan head that retained very well and left some nice lacing on the glass. Smells of rich, toasted malts, burnt sugars, faint cocoa, and a bit of roasted coffee beans. Low hop bitterness is aided by a hint of sharpness from the decent carbonation that balanced well with the malts. Beer starts off bold and ends with a mildy sweet, burnt oak aftertaste. Very nicely done. Medium body thickness, not quite chewy, with a decently creamy profile and a nice touch of carbonation.
Another solid beer from Bell's, this porter may not be the "best" on the market, but it is very drinkable and a nice choice for the price.

The pour an deep copper almost brown with garnet highlights. An agressive pour produces two fingers of a tan bubbles with good retention.
The aroma is mostly of roasted malt with light black malt and a low carmel note in the background. There is a faint fruitness and very little hops aroma.
The first flavor is a strong malt flavor with a light burnt note that progresses to a roasty medium-dry finish. There is a light malt sweetness with a carmel note balanced by a slightly stronger hops bitterness.
Medium-full body with moderate carbonation with a slight astringency from roasted grains giving a little dry sensation in the finish.
This is a lively beer dominated by roasted malts with some dark malts as well.

A- Pours nearly black with some reddish hues and not much head.
S- Toasty malt, cookie, unsalted crackers. Distinct but not necessarily desireable.
T&M- Similar to the nose and some chocolate added with a nice full mouthfeel.
D- Very good, but just never quite did it for me.

S: Lacks a distinct aroma
T: Nice malt with subtle hints of coffe and
chocolate. A little nutty but nothing very

M: A bit watery and under carbonated
D: A descent porter but not nearly as good as I
expect a Bell's brew to be. I suppose that I
may have reviewed this one a little more
leniently if I hadn't been expecting so much.

4.35/5 rDev +12.7%
A: Very deep dark brown but light will pass through showing off nice clarity. Pouring from 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass produced little to no discernible head bit did produce a nice ring of light brown bubbles. Lacing was light.
S: Light hints of toffee and perhaps chocolate
T: Malty hit at first but balances nicely with the hops. Clean quick finish of light hops. Not much linger at all.
M&D: On just the lighter side of heavy; sits on the tongue nicely and goes down smooth.
I think I have found another favorite porter. I popped this one before I sat down for dinner with some pasta and wasn't sure how well it would go with the Alfredo sauce. I was so impressed with the flavor that it almost didn't make it to the table with me. Ultimately it was great with the pasta as well. Recommended!

Review from BeerAdvocate magazine Vol. II Issue X:
Quick to foam and settling down to massive chucks of lace on the glass, retention runs strong here. Opaque brown color. Smells of fresh dark bread, chicory and cocoa powder with a vague fruitiness and yeast tone in the background. Smooth and creamy with a nearly velvety medium body. Malt sweetness blankets the palate with suggestions of cocoa powder, sweetened light-roasted coffee and light brown sugar. Faint raisin fruitiness pairs up with the chalky yeast tone. Hops come across with an herbal/leafy, oily bitterness that is just enough to balance. Hint of nougat, rustic toasted bread and carob middle to end. Finishes semisweet with a long linger of toasted and mildly roasted grain.
So delicious, so drinkable. By far one of the top beers we have run into this year. Larry, come to Boston. We'll treat you extremely well. As for the lucky folks who can get this on a regular basis, we are more than envious.

Pours a very dark brown, almost black color. This one smells of coffee and chocolate (what I consider the way a porter should smell), in addition to that "special" Bell's aroma. Taste is of coffee and chocolate as well, with a rather unpleasent sourness (which fades a bit as the beer warms). Mouthfeel is quite creamy.
Overall, I've had better porters, and I've had better Bell's beers. Then again, I've had worse Bell's beers than this. Not one to be avoided, but not one to seek out either, especially If you have, say, Summit Great Northern Porter available to you, at a better cost and a better taste as well.

The Bell's Porter pours from the longneck bottle into my SN tulip with a deep dark onyx hue and a nice foamy tan cap on top. Only a slight hint of dark brown escapes from the edges when held up to the light. Looks like a good porter should! Aromas of dark roasted malts along with some caramel and raisins. A smattering of light coffee with a citrusy hop background. Nice...but a bit too mellow for me personally.
First sip brings a rush of charred roasty maltiness across the palate with notes of roasted coffee and dark fruits. Slightly dry and chalky on the way down...burnt toast. There's just a slight citric hoppiness on the finish that works nicely in the overall brew. A nice, easy drinking porter.
Mouthfeel is slightly dry with active carbonation...very roasty on the palate. I would not be against having a few of these...could even be sessionable. Overally, it's a tasty, unique porter.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark opaque brown. It has a smallish light brown head that quickly recedes to a thin film. There is some yeast sediment at the bottom of the glass.
The aroma is chocolate and coffee with some vanilla and cream.
The flavor is burnt chocolate malts and coffee. It's a little acidic and slightly sweet. It has a dry (almost chalky), medium bitter finish. It has a fairly full body, a little light on the carbonation.
Overall, an excellent porter. Coffee-like and bitter, but very pleasing.
