While saying the bounty fallout is no excuse for the Saints' tepid 1-4 season, quarterback Drew Brees told the NFL Network he agrees with his former teammate Scott Fujita's statement on Roger Goodell, that he is abusing his power as commissioner.
"I agree with everything Scott Fujita said in his statement," Brees said in the Thursday morning NFL AM interview. "I thought it was a strong statement but certainly very true."
On Wednesday, Fujita, now a Cleveland Browns linebacker, accused Goodell of abusing his power as commissioner for his handling of the Saints bounty case. Fujita had his three-game suspension reduced to one but criticized a letter he received from Goodell after the decision to reduce the penalty.
For his part, in the Thursday interview, Brees echoed previous statements supporting Fujita and the other suspended players, including Jonathan Vilma, who still has pending litigation over his suspension.
"Certainly our players are not satisfied with some of the things Commissioner Goodell has claimed or said. It seems like so much of his suspensions have been based upon speculation and rhetoric or the testimony of some pretty unreliable sources," Brees said.
"It seems like his decision changes quite a bit…at least the reasoning behind what his decision is. Now that were in the middle of the season we just want to play football. We want to focus on winning games."
When asked whether the bounty fallout, and suspensions of Coach Sean Payton, Mickey Loomis and Joe Vitt, are to blame for the Saints' tepid season, Brees said the team makes no excuses.
"We've got a great team, great character, great leadership. We have the ability to overcome any situation. This has been an extremely tough one, but there's no excuses for our 1-4 start other than just lack of execution."
He said that the win Sunday over the San Diego Chargers hopefully "broke the seal…so to speak, and after the bye week we can get on a roll."
Brees responded to comments from former quarterback and Louisiana native, now Fox Sports NFL commentator, Terry Bradshaw who said he was unimpressed with Brees' touchdown pass which broke Johnny Unitas record. Bradshaw, in a WFAN New York interview, took issue with Brees asking the NFL to allow Payton, Loomis and Vitt to attend the game. Bradshaw said the thought it was "disrespectful to the San Diego Chargers."
While saying he had not heard Bradshaw's comments directly, Brees defended the decision.
"There's no person that's a bigger part of that record than Sean Payton. Mickey Loomis, Joe Vitt, all the coaches on suspension right now, I felt it was very important for them to be there. They're as big a part of that as anybody and it made for a historic night and I was very glad for them to be a part of it."
Pointing to Sunday's win, Brees said he feels each week the team has improved.
"I feel like each week we've gotten better," he said. "You don't want peaks and valleys. We have been inconsistent."

America does love a good sex scandal, almost as much as the British do, and the Petraeus, um, affair has been an especially juicy one. It's been so complicated, in that reality-show kind of way, that we need charts depicting who's connected to whom.
As always happens when a powerful married man is revealed to have been hiking the Appalachian Trail, finding Freudian uses for cigars, or supporting his maid's child, there's been a lot of speculation about the psychology of honcho guys. What is it about the powerful?
This noodling is off-base on several counts. First, it neglects the fact that roughly one-quarter of married people — approximately equal numbers of men and women — report having had an extramarital affair. They aren't all powerful. It's true that the successful may indeed be more likely to commit adultery, but not for the reasons usually cited, such as their supposed sense of entitlement.
It also conflates social monogamy with sexual monogamy, assuming that these complicated sets of behaviors are one and the same. But Petraeus' experience shows this is not necessarily true. By all accounts, Petraeus highly values his relationship with his wife. Yet he was not sexually monogamous, and because he wasn't, he placed his social relationship with his wife, not to mention his job and reputation, at risk.
The difference between social and sexual monogamy is partly chemical, as was illustrated recently in a fascinating experiment. You may have missed it while being steeped in Jill Kelley news, but the Journal of Neuroscience released a study earlier this month about the effects of the neurochemical oxytocin on the behavior of monogamous males.
Oxytocin has gotten a lot of publicity over the past few years, not all of it entirely accurate. It's been called the "cuddle" hormone, a "love drug," even "the moral molecule." But it turns out that the effects of oxytocin depend on social context.

Connecticut's gas prices continued its decline with a seven-cent drop in the past week, bringing the cost per gallon to $3.99. According to price tracking website ConnecticutGasPrices.com, the high a month ago was $4.08.
The national average per gallon is $3.67 and Patrick Dehaan, an analyst at GasBuddy.com, thinks the price will go lower.
"We'll probably be over $3.00 a gallon for much of the rest of the year. We'll see a lot of between $3.30 a gallon to as much as $3.65 or $3.75 a gallon," he said.
The reasons for the decline in price are varied.
"We've started to see prices decreasing thanks to a drop in wholesale prices, and due to the changeover to winter gasoline, there's some speculators leaving the marketplace because of the weakness of gasoline demand," DeHaan said. "That is all working to lower the cost of gasoline at the pump.

Paul Simon Releasing New Live CD/DVD Set Next Month
Thursday, August 23, 2012
Coming on September 18th with be Paul Simon's new concert collection, Live In New York City. The 20-song set recorded on June 6th, 2011 features most of Simon's leg closing stand at Manhattan's Webster Hall in support of his latest studio set, the critically acclaimed, So Beautiful Or So What. Vintage Vinyl News reported that the album will be available in three formats: a double CD/single DVD special package, Blu-Ray, and a standard DVD.
The tracklisting for Paul Simon's Live In New York City is: "The Obvious Child," "Dazzling Blue," "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover," "So Beautiful Or So What," "Mother And Child Reunion," "That Was Your Mother," "Hearts And Bones," "Crazy Love, Vol. II," "Slip Slidin' Away," "Rewrite," "The Boy In The Bubble," "The Only Living Boy In New York," "The Afterlife," "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes," "Gumboots," "The Sound Of Silence," 'Kodachrome," 'Gone At Last," "Late In The Evening," and "Still Crazy After All These Years."
We talked to Simon about So Beautiful Or So What and asked him about how turning 70 while recording the album figured into his new songs: "I think what else would -- If you're trying to tell the truth about something, about anything and your life is the story that you're most familiar with; well then certainly, all those elements would certainly come into play, y'know, as you get older. I think it's fine, and I don't feel any attachment to the subject matter in terms of defending it."
Paul Simon will next perform on October 4th in New York City at the Children's Health Fund Benefit Concert at Radio City Music Hall.

CNHI News Service
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — Louella Aker survived a deadly tornado in southern Indiana last year with little more than a scratch, but the aftermath of the storm cost her all of her limbs and nearly took her life.
Now, the 66-year-old quadruple amputee is regaining her independence in a new home built to accommodate her disability. The exact cause of the disease that took Aker's extremities is still a mystery, but doctors believe it may have been a rare bacterial infection brought on by the March 2, 2012 tornado, an EF4 storm that leveled schools and businesses, killing 13 people in southern Indiana.
On the day of the storm, Aker recalls seeing the funnel cloud barreling toward her home in Henryville, Ind.
"When you see them on TV, they're always white," she said. "This was the dirtiest funnel cloud I had ever seen. I mean, it was just black. When I heard it roar — and it truly does roar like a freight train — I had never heard that before, it was frightening. We all hit the basement."
Aker and her family rode out the storm, and then came outside to see homes flattened and trees uprooted.
"I was just really in a daze," Aker said. "I had never seen anything so horrible and so frightening. You just wanted to sit and cry…It was the toughest thing I had ever gone through. It really was."
But for Aker, it was only the beginning. A few weeks after the tornado, she started to feel sick. She had flu-like symptoms and a fever that spiked to 104 degrees. The last thing she remembers was sitting in the emergency room, waiting to see a doctor.
Then she slipped into a coma.
She was unconscious for a month, even as doctors did exploratory surgery to try to determine the source of huge blisters on her arms and legs. The doctors found nothing, but when Aker awoke several weeks later, things had gotten much worse.
"Both of my arms and both of my legs looked like I had been put on a charcoal grill," Aker said. "They were just black and crispy. From that point on, it was doctors and more doctors."
Eventually, Aker was told doctors would have to amputate her legs and arms.
"(The doctors) seemed to think it could have been some type of bacteria that was picked up because this tornado was so large, and came so far, and picked up so much stuff, but there was really no way to tell," Aker said.
Similar mysterious cases of bacterial infections were reported in the wake of other natural disasters, including a tornado that struck Joplin, Mo., in 2011. According to the Joplin Globe, 13 people were diagnosed with a fungal infection in the wake of the tornado. Five of the 13 people who were infected with the bacteria died.
The fungus — apophysomyces trapeziformis — grows in soil, water and wood, and is harmless to humans unless it penetrates the skin. When it does penetrate the skin, it enters the capillaries and cuts off the blood flow to tissue, killing large areas of tissue.
A team with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention identified the Joplin cases as mucormycosis, an infection that results from the fungus. Those with diabetes or cancer are at an increased risk for the infection. Aker is a breast cancer survivor.
After the surgeries, Aker began the rehabilitation process that lasted nearly a year. She was fitted for prosthetic limbs at a rehab clinic in Louisville, Ky., before she was moved to a long-term facility in Sellersburg, Ind.
The response of Aker's hometown in the aftermath of the tornado was an inspiration to her.
"We had help from a lot of people, but the entire community was very strong," Aker said. "Everybody who came through it, came through it stronger. And I think they came through with an appreciation of the human spirit."
A nonprofit group, March2Recovery, helped pay for adaptations to a new home for Aker, in nearby Jeffersonville, Ind. Doors were widened, the stove was lowered and the bathroom was modified, all to make it easier for Aker to get around her house.
Aker said the help she got from many others allowed her receive the biggest gift — her independence.
"When I first woke up, I immediately wondered how I would do anything," Aker said. "I had my own house, had a garden, raised chickens ... I saw all of that slipping away and I wondered if the rest of my life would be in a nursing home in a wheelchair.
"I just did not ever think I would see this again. To raise my kids and have my grandkids stay with me, and to see myself getting back to that stage is just miraculous, it really is."
Details for this story were reported by The News and Tribune in Jeffersonville, Ind.

Parents of about 150,000 students have had to scramble to make alternative plans to get kids to school.
About 100 bus drivers and bus matrons have been assembled on picket lines in the Queens section of the city.
Four bus companies called the NYPD to picket locations on Wednesday when strikers allegedly blocked gates while buses were trying to leave parking areas, the AP reported.
Mayor Mike Bloomberg called the incidents "an outrage."
The city's Department of Education wants to put out competitive bids for new contracts to bus the city's 152,000 students including 54,500 special needs students.
Most of the city's roughly 1.1 million public school students take public transportation or walk to school.
"Since 1979 no administration has rebid this contract. The union is striking the current holder of the contract because they don't want another company to come in, under bid and take their jobs," Bloomberg told Good Day NY. "It's not up to us it's up to the employers to decide whom they hire."
The sticking point with Local 1181 is the elimination of what are called employee protection provisions, or the EPP, that the union says protects workers' jobs, particularly veteran drivers.
"I am disappointed in Mayor Bloomberg's insensitivity towards New York's children and parents as they continue to deal with the city's decision to refuse to work towards an agreement to end the present school bus strike," said Michael Cordiello, president of Local 1181. "Parents and schoolchildren - especially those children with special needs - should never have to 'Learn to live with' inexperienced, unfamiliar drivers and matrons who do not have the track record of safety, dedication and professionalism that so many members of Local 1181 provide."
"The union that is striking has contracts with other companies in other counties where they do not have this provision," Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott told Good Day NY.
"Safely transporting our children back and forth school today has, and always will be, the top priority of every man and woman who make up ATU Local 1181, said Cordiello, the local's president, in a statement. "The Employee Protection Provision (EPP) is directly linked to the safety and security of our children by ensuring the City's most qualified, skilled and experiences school bus crews remain on the job, and has been a cornerstone of these contracts for over 50 years."
Bloomberg said Sunday that the city bid out new contracts for the bus routes to try to save taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.
Officials with Local 1181 announced their members would walk off the job during a news conference on Monday afternoon.
"With its regrettable decision to strike, the union is abandoning 152,000 students and their families who rely on school bus service each day," Bloomberg said in a statement. "As Chancellor (Dennis) Walcott and I have said, the City will take all steps available to ensure that those who are impacted have the support they need, and we are now activating the protocols we put in place in the event of a strike."
53 schools and roughly 7,000 Catholic school students in the Archdiocese of New York are impacted by the school bus driver strike.
City officials said they have a contingency plan to get children to school. The archdiocese is following the city's lead, said Dr. Timothy J. McNiff, Superintendent of Schools.
Walcott said that during a strike the NYPD will provide additional school crossing guards and transit officers.
Temporary MetroCards will be given to students available through the school's office
If you have any questions about those contingency plans you can call 311.
NYC Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott said the Department of Education website will be updated at 7 a.m. every day of the bus strike.

Alicia Keys Super Bowl 2013 video: 'Star-Spangled Banner' performance starts off Super Bowl right
Alicia Keys pulled no punches with a performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Keys took her time belting out the lyrics to the national anthem as she played her own accompaniment, but her performance was nearly flawless and generally well-received. Many joked that the 33-year-old singer was a "Girl on Fire" seated at a piano in the middle of the field.
Viewers took to Twitter to point out that Keys has won 14 Grammys, putting her in league with musical greats. She joins a list of heralded prior performers like Whitney Houston, Kelly Clarkson, Faith Hill and Mariah Carey.
Prior to Keys' set, Jennifer Hudson sang along with students from Sandy Hook Elementary in a performance of "America, the Beautiful."
It should be noted that Hudson tackled singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl. back in 2009.
Kate Upton was among those moved by the two singers' renditions, posting on Twitter:
"Sandy hook elementary chorus singing America the beautiful and Alicia keys national anthem makes me proud to be American."

The Department of Music is the home of scholars and students who continue a tradition of study stretching back to the ancient world. One of the seven original liberal arts, music maintains a place in the university as a subject of broad and passionate interest to composers, historians, ethnomusicologists, performers, and theorists. At Yale, all of these form a community dedicated to furthering a knowledge and love of music. Using the abundant musical resources at Yale—which include graduate professional schools of Music, Art, and Drama, an Institute for Sacred Music, a renowned collection of historical instruments, and an exceptionally large library of scores, recordings, books, and original manuscripts—the Department of Music provides an extraordinarily rich musical environment unmatched by any other college or university.
For undergraduates in Yale College, the Department awards a liberal-arts B.A. degree for majors with various levels of concentration, offers a wide range of courses for all students, and sponsors many performing groups open to all Yale undergraduates. While many of our undergraduates have gone on to have professional careers in music, others have used their music study as an enriching foundation for other pursuits.
Within the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Department also offers Ph.D. degrees in Music History, Music Theory, and Ethnomusicology. Normally, between six and eight students are admitted each year, all with generous stipends, and they add to a tightly knit community of scholars who both benefit from and add to the extraordinary resources of Yale University. Many graduates have become leading scholars and sought-after teachers in their fields, often rising to positions of disciplinary and institutional leadership in the academic profession.
The Department of Music is located in Stoeckel Hall at the corner of College and Wall streets, and directly across from the main performance halls on campus.

Assemblyman Bill Monning appeared to broker a delicate peace Friday between proponents of a veterans cemetery and environmentalists fighting to save oak woodland on Fort Ord.
The turn of events came after four hours of contentious debate before and among the Fort Ord Reuse Authority board of directors, which was asked by the city of Seaside to confirm and map the location of the planned veterans cemetery on Parker Flats Road.
Support for the cemetery was nearly unanimous throughout the evening. At issue was a related request that the FORA board designate an accompanying piece of the parcel, called the endowment property, for residential use.
The property is the proposed site of the Monterey Downs equestrian-themed development and is designated as the source of funding for a state-mandated $1.5 million maintenance endowment for the cemetery.
FORA and its contractors have ignited a firestorm by announcing their intent to clear-cut 12 acres of oak woodland and vegetation to search for unexploded ordnance in advance of development that is not approved or even environmentally reviewed.
The issue has pitted Fort Ord recreational users and environmentalists who want to keep the endowment parcel in open space against veterans who want a final resting place. On Friday those vets were joined by vocal proponents of Monterey Downs, who support its plans for stables and a horse arena. Among those supporters were agricultural leaders Mike Antle and Jeff Taylor.
One Afghanistan veteran, Jan Ryan, spoke in favor of the cemetery from her wheelchair. Another speaker invoked the memory of Vilar Galarza of Salinas, who was killed in the war and whose father, a cauliflower picker, could not bury his son in a veterans cemetery because he had no transportation to the nearest national cemetery in Santa Nella.
The staff report gave the board three options: to take no action until local jurisdictions submitted land-use entitlements; to direct consultants to include the cemetery and endowment designations in the upcoming base reuse plan reassessment; or to immediately adopt the land-use designations for the cemetery and neighboring residential development to the current reuse plan.
Monning would later offer a fourth option, but not before some vigorous back and forth.
Salinas Mayor Dennis Donohue, also invoking Galarza's name, moved to immediately amend, a motion that was seconded by Del Rey Oaks Mayor Jerry Edelen.
It quickly became clear that motion was not going to pass. CSU Monterey Bay representative Justin Wellner said the motion was unnecessarily rushing the matter and would violate the California Environmental Quality Act process at a time when FORA was already facing "perception problems."
Carmel Mayor Jason Burnett agreed with the sense of urgency to map a cemetery location that had long been agreed on verbally, but said violating process could actually slow progress for the cemetery by inviting litigation.
Echoing statements by a member of Veterans Wild Fort Ord, Burnett said Peninsula residents would likely open their wallets to raise the necessary $1.5 million if it was linked to an open-space effort. He offered to lead the charge himself.
Seaside Councilman Ian Oglesby reacted angrily, asking where those people have been for 18 years while veterans tried to raise money, and accusing the others of trying to rob Seaside of the opportunity to finally achieve some economic recovery from the closure of Fort Ord.
It was then that Monning, who was present to give an update on FORA legislation, stepped in with a solution. He suggested the board direct staff to come back with a fourth option, approving the designation of the cemetery parcel but delinking the endowment parcel.
Burnett moved to proceed as Monning suggested. The vote was 7-4 with Donohue, Edelen, Oglesby and Sand City Mayor David Pendergrass dissenting. Supervisor Dave Potter, whose friendship with Monterey Downs developer Brian Boudreau has been questioned by opponents of the development, voted in favor of delinking the two parcels.
The vote left Boudreau and fellow Monterey Downs developer Beth Palmer unhappy if not enraged. Palmer got into a screaming match with open-space advocate Luana Conley outside the meeting, calling Conley a "liar" before storming back into the meeting.

Former Rep Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) said Monday night that, despite losing his seat in Congress, he plans "to care for and fully support" his son, Patrick, a high school senior.
Asked about a Sun-Times report that his ex-wife's lawyer accused Walsh of skipping a child support payment due earlier this month, he declared, "My ex-wife's lawyer is lying." Walsh acknowledged that the payment this month was substantially short of the $2,134 he had been paying until he left Congress on Jan. 3rd. He also acknowledged informing the Cook County Circuit Court that he had lost his job and was unemployed. He had been paying 20% of his net income as representative of the Eighth Congressional District. Walsh's legal obligation to pay child support to former spouse Laura Walsh continues through May. That's when Patrick Walsh is scheduled to graduate from high school.
The outspoken Tea Party activist said he was "weighing two very interesting opportunities," that would soon restore his income. He said child support payments to his former wife would then "be in the same ballpark or even larger" than the $2,134 a month she'd been receiving.
Walsh said one job offer is a "local media opportunity." He said the other "is a political opportunity."
After his 2010 election to Congress, Laura Walsh went to court seeking $117,000 in back child support payments. Last summer, she and Joe Walsh reached an out-of-court settlement. Their son, Joe, campaigned for his father's re-election, rejecting the claims of Democratic attack ads that then-Rep. Walsh was "a deadbeat dad."
The former congressman said Monday, ""I will take care of my children, as I always have" Walsh said.

Add some bohemian flavor with this eccentric blue hue.
Apply an even base coat and allow sometime for it to dry. Personally, we're partial to Smooth Operator or Stuck on You, but since everyone's nails are diferent, find what works best for you. After you've applied an even base coat, open up your nail polish and apply two thin coats accross your fingertips. We always emphasize two thin coats because two thin coats is better than one thick coat! Once the second coat has dried, finish off your manicure by applying a protective top coat to prevent chipping.

Channel set engagement rings feature side diamonds that are embedded into the channel groove of the ring. A thin strip of metal secures the diamonds in place—no prongs are used. The diamonds are flush with the band and as a result, channel set rings are sturdier than other designs and less likely to snag on clothing.
James Allen features a wide range of beautiful channel set engagement rings. Our channel set rings are available in gold and platinum, with a variety of diamond shapes and cuts. We offer many possibilities for a variety of budgets. When it comes to picking the right channel stones for your channel ring, princess cut is one of our most popular choices, as the square edges ensure no gaps between the stones.
Each and every channel set engagement ring sold from James Allen is hand inspected for quality and style. We offer only the highest-class channel set rings, and we only ship items that have passed our rigorous standards.

After what proved to be a memorable seven days in which he led the American League in slugging and total bases, White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko was named the AL Player of the Week, Major League Baseball announced on Monday afternoon.
The 36-year-old slugger was tops in the AL with a .957 slugging percentage and 22 total bases, while also tied for first in batting average (.435, 10-for-23), home runs (three) and hits (10). He finished the week tied for third in on-base percentage (.500).
It is the fifth career Player of the Week honor for Konerko (most recently on April 10 last year), who joins teammate Phil Humber -- who won the award last week -- as honorees this season.
Konerko hit his first homer of the week last Monday, helping Chicago to its fourth consecutive win. He hit the 400th homer of his career in the ninth inning of Chicago's 5-4 extra-inning loss on Wednesday.
He became the fourth player in franchise history to hit a milestone homer of at least 400 (Frank Thomas, Jim Thome, Andruw Jones). He also joined Luke Appling, Nellie Fox, Thomas and Eddie Collins as the only White Sox players to amass 2,000 career hits with Chicago. Konerko tallied his fourth straight multihit game on Saturday against Boston.
Entering Monday's action, the White Sox slugger was tied for second in the AL this season in doubles (nine), third in slugging percentage (.678), tied for third in on-base percentage (.444) and fourth in batting average (.383) and hits (31).

You've got it John. My 88 year old dad has dementia too. It's really hard to see your parents have trouble with the simplest things when you know how vibrant, helpful and important they have been throughout your life.
My dad was able to go with me last week when I picked up my last Cub purchase, a '57 Lo-Boy with Fast Hitch, and he really enjoyed getting out for the 130 mile round trip. He doesn't get out as much as he'd like and gets bored just staying home.

Zduriencik continues trade talks, but no deals yet
Mariners general manager won't mortgage club's future for short-term fix
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- While talk continues to circulate at the Winter Meetings that the Mariners are pushing for a significant trade to upgrade their offense, general manager Jack Zduriencik didn't pull the trigger on anything Monday.
No big surprise there, given there weren't any trades anywhere on the first day of the Meetings, which instead saw the earliest moves made with free-agent catcher Mike Napoli landing with the Red Sox for three years at $39 million and outfielder Angel Pagan returning to the Giants at four years and $40 million.
"We've talked a lot," Zduriencik said Monday evening after spending the day meeting with agents and executives from other teams in his suite at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. "I know our fans would love us to make a deal and make a big splash. And that's kind of fun. We did it the first year with the 12-player trade [that brought Jason Vargas, Franklin Gutierrez, Mike Carp and others to Seattle] and that got a lot of attention.
"That worked out pretty good, actually," he said. "But sometimes you just have to let it happen and clubs get to the point where they say, 'OK, this is what we really need to do.'"
One rumor that continues surfacing involves the Mariners pursuing Kansas City first baseman Billy Butler, though there appears to be little motivation for the Royals to give up a 26-year-old who is a big part of their own plans. It might make more sense from Kansas City's perspective to offer highly regarded outfield prospect Wil Myers.
But any impact bat would come at a high cost, likely several of Seattle's premier young pitching prospects. So Zduriencik continues wrestling with the possibilities while waiting to see if the right match emerges.
One thing he won't do is sell out the farm system now just for a short-term fix to improve his own job security as he enters the final year of his contract.
"I can't do that," Zduriencik said. "I don't want to chase that. I was brought here for a reason. I was brought here for my skill-set, building an organization and bringing in players and trying to get this thing going. Player development and scouting has been what I've done. You stay true to who you are. You always keep the organization's best interest at heart and I'm going to do that.
"We want to build this thing the way we're doing it. If we can augment it, we will. But I'm not going to chase my tail and do something that is not in the best interest of this city or organization or fan base, despite the fact there are some that wish I'd done that yesterday. That's not the right thing to do. If we cut this thing off right now, this organization will suffer for more years. I don't want to do that."
Zduriencik recalled the group the Brewers were building around in his final years in Milwaukee, with Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, Yovani Gallardo and J.J. Hardy all being talented young players in the minimum-salary range with three years or less of Major League time.
He said youngsters like Kyle Seager, Michael Saunders, Dustin Ackley and Jesus Montero -- along with the flock of top prospects coming up like Danny Hultzen, Taijuan Walker, Mike Zunino and Nick Franklin -- could be a similar core of inexpensive but highly productive players just heading into their prime.
"You have to make sure you're right," Zduriencik said of potential trades involving such top talents.
Free agency is the other route, but that is a competitive market that often requires overpaying or tying up a player who is on the downside of his career on a long-term deal. The Mariners have some payroll flexibility, but whether to use that in signing a free agent or trading for a veteran remains one of the key questions.
With Napoli out of the mix, the most likely place to add a free-agent bat appears to be in the outfield or at first base, where Zduriencik noted that Justin Smoak and Mike Carp still need to prove themselves.
Zduriencik said he's open to adding a veteran catcher, but more likely as a non-roster invitee or someone who can play multiple positions. That figures as a lower priority, with Napoli now gone.
"We liked Napoli," he said. "Congratulations to him on his contract and to Boston for getting him. Napoli brought things to the table that we liked. He's an offensive guy, right-handed bat, veteran guy. But he's no longer available."
So the Mariners will look to other options. They'll continue talking to free-agent hitters, trying to find a match. They'll weigh the value of trading their own prospects vs. the potential of adding shorter-term value to improve the present.
They'll offer and counter offer, waiting for agents and other teams to decide if they want to make a move as well. As Zduriencik always says, it takes two to tango. That's the nature of the Winter Meetings. And the dance continues.

I've said it before, New England is a prime target. They want to recoup picks. I think they only have 4. Slipping in front of Atlanta and taking their player would make me happy.
With the Revis deal in the bag, I think Mark Dominik could be looking to move back into the first round. MD always talks about how much he values the extra year on the contract attached to first rounders so you know hes interested. We've still got the extra 4th so we have ammo. Who do you all think might be there in the late 1st worth that would be worth the move up? Me, I would jump at a chance for CB Desmond Trufant, CB DJ Hayden or DE Bjoern Werner
Any trade should be to target a specific guy who would be considered (and becomes) a starter no later than mid-season 2013... I don't care what the name or position is...MD has had success (at least recently) with that approach.
If they're trading back into the first, it better be for someone who rushes the QB....will the Bucs continue to be aggressive and go after "their guys" or sit tight and draft for depth? I personally think they should go after impact guys because let's face it...they guys that played last season as starters in the secondary can essentially be the depth guys now with a season under their belts in this system...I think they need a Ziggy or 2 to really get this defence popping.

Werner would be great

CNHI News Service
PRINCETON, W.Va. — A magistrate in southern West Virginia is under investigation after his racy Facebook messages with a woman who has appeared in his courtroom were made public.
Screenshots of private messages between Mercer County Magistrate Richard "Rick" Fowler and the woman include graphic conversations and apparent plans to meet for sex. Criminal records indicate the woman appeared in Fowler's court three times in the past year on various charges, including domestic violence and obstructing an officer.
"This has to be private," Fowler said in a message, according to a screenshot shared with the Bluefield (W.Va.) Daily Telegraph. "If anyone knew.....it would keep me frim [sic] being able to help you out with other things in the future. ok? [sic]"
Fowler said the messages were taken out of context and are part of a plot by a political rival to get him out of office. The local prosecutor has asked the sheriff's department to investigate.
Fowler called the investigation "kind of ridiculous."
"I'm not married, this girl is not married and we goof around and talk on Facebook. We tease and talk crap," he said. "…Outside of a court hallway, I've never seen her — even in Walmart."
Fowler said he tries to help everyone who comes before him. "I'd do a favor for the devil if he needed it. My theory is if you help someone and never see them again, it worked."
Last year, Fowler was admonished by the state Judicial Investigation Commission for an inappropriate relationship with a woman who was the wife and victim of a man who had appeared before him.
According to the complaint, Fowler began dating the woman "approximately two months after the criminal charges had been resolved against her now ex-husband but at a time when he was still serving probation."
When asked by an investigator about the relationship, "Magistrate Fowler maintained that he never dated the wife/victim," the complaint states. Later, in a second interview, Fowler admitted having a personal relationship with the woman.
Fowler has served as a magistrate in Mercer County since 2004.
Details for this story were reported by The Bluefield (W.Va.) Daily Telegraph.

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays made a depth move on Friday afternoon by claiming Russ Canzler off waivers from Cleveland.
Canzler appeared in 26 games with the Indians last season and hit .269 with three homers and 11 RBIs. He has the ability to play the corner infield and outfield spots and might have an opportunity to compete for the final opening on Toronto's bench next year.
The 26-year-old Canzler spent the vast majority of the 2012 season with Triple-A Columbus of the International League. He posted a .265 average with 36 doubles, 22 homers and 79 RBIs, making him a possible option to platoon with Adam Lind at designated hitter.
To make room on the 40-man roster for Canzler, the Blue Jays outrighted right-hander Mickey Storey to Triple-A Buffalo. Storey had been claimed off waivers from the Astros earlier this week following a season in which he posted a 3.68 ERA in 26 appearances.
The Blue Jays are now at full capacity on their 40-man roster.

I'm in a bowhunting funk. There really hasn't been anything going on for me to shoot sharp sticks at. It's almost depressing. Oh sure, I could hunt coyotes, but getting close to to them with a bow and arrow is a pretty tall order. Not that I'm not up to it, but the reality is, hunting 'yotes' is far more effective with a rifle.
Turkey season will be here before you know it, and at that point, I do plan on chasing them with a bow. But, like coyotes, getting a turkey with a bow is a pretty tall accomplishment. I've done it a few times, but those birds can give a guy fits. Turkeys can be more frustrating to chase than any deer I've ever put a tag on.
And there's also bowfishing. I haven't bowfished in a long time. That may change in the near future. I've always enjoyed bowfishing, but other things have gotten in the way of participating. Things like being a parent and having a family, working a job and pursuing other outdoor activities.
More on hunting: Hunting headlines | 2012-2013 trophy shots | More hunting photos | Watch a rebroadcast of Deer Camp Live | Registration station map | Hunting blogs
Despite that the off-season is in full swing, I won't put the bow away. If anything, it's time for me to step up my shooting to make sure I stay on the money. I'll need the practice, especially when turkey season arrives.
Indoor archery leagues are one way I like to keep on top of my game. We set up trees indoors, animal targets of various species, too, all at different angles and use various lighting scenarios. It's a great way to get in some weekly practice and get out of the house. The friendly competition keeps my skills sharp.
But even more crucial than going out and simply shooting arrows, this is a great time to tweak things in your shooting style.
Form is one thing a lot of bowhunters struggle with. I teach kids each year. When they struggle, it's often due to a problem with their form. And the off-season is the best time to work on form issues.
Form is a simple thing to fix. Always stand with your feet at shoulder-width. Never stand straight, but face the right or left, depending on which hand you pull the string with. In other words, I'm right handed, so I will turn my body to the right, with my left foot ahead, with both feet at shoulder-width. Point the bow down range. Pretty simple right? But what a lot of people struggle with is drawing the bow.
Most people draw the bow by bringing thier bow upwards as they draw in an attempt to get more power to pull the string. When people do that, it means they are pulling too much weight. You don't need to pull 80 pounds to be effective. In fact, heavy draw weights are pointless with todays modern archery gear. If you can't point that bow down range, and pull it straight back smoothly without bringing the bow way up in the air, you are over-bowed. Turn your weight down. Think about it. If you have too much draw weight, not only are you risking possibly hurting yourself, but there is so much extra motion involved when drawing on an animal, you risk spooking it. If you need to hold on to the bow a little longer, you will be able to do so much more effectively with a lighter weight. Smooth and graceful movements are key, and practicing like that each week will make you a much better shooter and hunter
Using a release is popular with most bowhunters. But they require practice. At times, I get a lttle target panic, and punch the trigger. When a person does that, it throws your shot. And who wants that at the moment of truth? Touching the trigger slowly and smoothly where the shot almost suprises you is the best thing you can do. Hold the bow loosely enough, that when the arrow goes off, the bow should be swaying in your hand slightly. Too tight of a grip will cause you to not have a steady aim, and cause your arm to shake just enough to throw your shot.
Standing at a line at an archery range is fine and dandy. But practice sitting down too. If you bow hunt turkeys, sitting is the position you will likely be hunting from inside of a blind. And practice on both paper and 3-D targets for pin point precision, and turn the targets at different angles and various ranges. Guess at how far the shot is, so you will have a better idea what your bow's capabilities are, as well as your judgement in distance.
And finally, don't forget to practice with broadheads when possible, especially if you use fixed blades. Most mechanicals fly just like a field point, but fixed blades often need some adjustments as they tend to fly a little differently. Make sure you figure them out well in advance of the season.
Remember to keep up the practice during the off-season. It's necessary and a lot of fun. Join a club or find some 3-D shoots this summer. Shoot often, and when that opportunity comes up, hopefully all the practice pays off.

For Immediate Release
February 9, 2012
Media Contacts:
McNay- Daniela Oliver, 210.805.1754
SAMA, Robb Wasielewski, 615.424.5808
Witte -Shannon H. Standley, 210.357.1876
San Antonio Museums receive gifts from the Estate of Frances and Louis Wagner
McNay, SAMA, and Witte to use gift for their respective Lecture Series
San Antonio, TX- The McNay Art Museum, San Antonio Museum of Art, and Witte Museum, received a bequest of $800,000 per institution from the estate of Frances and Louis Wagner for an endowment to provide annual support for their lecture series. The Wagners were longtime members of these institutions and had underwritten a number of special lectures in the past. McNay director William J. Chiego stated, "These major bequests are a demonstration ofthe Wagners' extraordinary generosity and wide range of interests. Over the years they sponsored a variety of distinguished speakers at the McNay, and it is wonderful to continue that tradition." Marise McDermott, President & CEO of the Witte, added "These funds enable the Witte to present informative and engaging discussions to the community of San Antonio and South Texas, ensuring the Witte remains a safe haven for public discourse."
The San Antonio Museum of Art received an initial gift from the Wagners in 2000 to establish the Louis A. and Frances B. Wagner Lecture Series. This most recent gift added $800,000 in principal to this existing endowment, and according to SAMA Director Katie Luber, "it will continue to allow the San Antonio Museum of Art to present several diverse and enriching lectures annually from some of the world's most renowned experts in every aspect of the arts."
There is no doubt this generous gift is an important contribution to San Antonio and its residents, who will surely enjoy enriching lectures at their beloved museums.
Upcoming Lectures
McNay - TBA
Friday, April 13 at 7:00 pm. "Theodore Gentilz and the Discovery of Place" by Dr. William Keyse Rudolph, Curator of American Art and Decorative Arts the Milwaukee Art Museum;
French-born Theodore Gentilz was one of the earliest professional artists in San Antonio, whose images of his adopted city are some of the most distinctive and earliest images of Texas scenery. This lecture examines the career of this important Texas Old Master, relating his scenes of San Antonio to European and American traditions of landscape painting.
Sunday, April 15 at 3:00 pm. "Ariadne's Thread: Antiquity Reawakened in Modern Art" by Jens Daehner, Curator of Antiquities at the Getty Museum.
In the early 20th-century, avant-garde artists like Pablo Picasso, Giorgio de Chirico, Fernand Léger, and Francis Picabia looked to classical antiquity to feed their imaginations. In a recent exhibition their work was juxtaposed with ancient objects, continuing a dialogue between the modern and the antique that is still alive today. Jens Daehner, curator of antiquities at the Getty Villa in Malibu, explores how modern artists transformed and reinvented the antique and how they have shaped the ways in which we now perceive classical art.
