CATEGORIES MoviesDid things get a little too up close and personal for you in 2007's "Knocked Up?" Well, you might want to steer clear of the first trailer for Judd Apatow's "sort of sequel" to his accidental pregnancy opus.
In "This Is 40," Paul Rudd expects wife Leslie Mann to inspect his private parts, explaining, "I saw you have babies. Payback time."
Indeed it is. In the comedy, Rudd and Mann reprise their roles as Pete and Debbie, who are now hitting the dreaded 4-0 and determined to revamp their lives. Glimpsed in the trailer: "Bridesmaids" star Melissa McCarthy as a school mom whom Rudd gets into a shoving match with, and Jason Segel as a personal trainer telling Mann he's "turned her body into a boner machine."
Apatow, who, apparently, has an affinity for gynecological exams, throws in a scene in which Mann lies about her age. Unfortunately, her doctor tells her he can determine how old she is by her... (shudder) rings. Well, you can watch the trailer for yourself.
We await further installments to see how Megan Fox, John Lithgow and Albert Brooks fit into the mix.
"This is 40" opens Dec. 21 and is, not surprisingly, rated R.

and the rokinons are $500 a piece, its a shame they are that expensive, bill gates will have fun with his $13000 1D-C and his $14000 prime set, which btw i guess now a "set" is only 3 lenses, sure that will do.
Rokinon however, does not offer a 50mm lens... and even if Bill Gates were still the richest man ever I don't see him having fun with an all manual set of lenses, not in this digital age where 64K is not enough!
They (Rokinon/Samyang/Bower) have a 50mm coming first half of 2013. Now all they need to release is a 100mm or 135mm lens (or both) and they will have pretty much all bases covered for the beginner shooter.
Sure they arent these lenses from Canon but they are crisp and clean and a good start compared to using std slr lenses.

When news broke that the Los Angeles Dodgers were having financial difficulties, Frank McCourt said that people shouldn't worry. He had a television deal in place with FOX that was going to fix everything.
When MLB seized financial control of the Dodgers after there were whispers that the team couldn't make their monthly payroll, McCourt said it wouldn't have been a issue if baseball would approve that pesky FOX deal.
McCourt just reached a settlement with his wife Jamie McCourt that had Frank buying her interest of the Dodgers out using the money from the FOX deal.
Small problem, though: there isn't going to be a FOX deal. Bud Selig and Major League Baseball moved to reject the proposed deal between the Dodgers and FOX, leaving McCourt without a lot of options. The decision makes it almost inevitable that the team will have to be sold. From Tim Brown of Yahoo!:
Selig words: It is my conclusion that this proposed transaction with FOX would not be in the best interests of the ... Dodgers franchise.
Though MLB hasn't given a reason for the decision, it's believed that the deal was below market, which a) would have set a bad precedent for the other 29 teams, and b) might have lowered the value of the franchise.
I picture Frank McCourt acting like Ray Liotta in "Goodfellas" after Lorraine Bracco flushed his nest egg down the toilet.

How does charging $45 an HOUR for use of the community room every evening and 3 days a week fit with the desire to have the community use the building?
Four million dollars of remodeling and they couldn't figure out how to seal off the meeting room from the library during off hours?
Alas, the elegance of the library is gone, it looks more like a trendy coffee-shop-nursery-school now.

What a waste of money. With a beautiful Children's Library, we are duplicating services by adding "programming" for babies? It is unfortunate that the Downtown "special interest" group was able to avert Paula Simpson's logical, fiscally responsible suggestion of one Main Library with community spaces throughout PA.

I have two dates down for the opening day - July 10 and July 16.

** See a doctor who tests for hepatitis B. **
Download this form and take it with you to your next doctor's appointment. . (If you don't have a doctor, free and low-cost screening is available for residents of San Francisco.)
Get Tested
Ask your doctor for the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and surface antibody (anti-HBs) tests for both yourself and your family. These are not included in routine physical examination blood tests and must be requested. If you are pregnant, ask your doctor for the HBsAg test to see whether you are infected with hepatitis B.
Get Vaccinated
If both your blood tests (HBsAg and anti-HBs) are negative, you have not been infected with hepatitis B. Get the 3-shot hepatitis B vaccination series to protect yourself for life from future infection. All newborns should receive the hepatitis B vaccine at birth.
Get Treated
Not all people chronically infected with hepatitis B need treatment. However, if your blood levels of ALT are elevated ongoing liver damage may be occurring. Treatment with either lamivudine, adefovir or entecavir (a pill taken once a day) or a course of interferon shots may be appropriate in this situation. These are the only four FDA-approved pills for chronic hepatitis B. Appropriate management can reduce the risk of further liver damage and liver cancer.
People chronically infected with hepatitis B can enjoy completely normal lives, but need to take some necessary precautions to avoid further liver damage.

WR Josh Cribbs told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer that a group of Browns players will be gathering at the University of Texas June 9-11 for "Camp Colt," practices that are organized by second-year QB Colt McCoy.
McCoy has hosted two previous camps for Browns players, one at his alma mater in late April and another in mid-May at Baldwin-Wallace College near Cleveland.
All of the teams rookies have been invited, but it is unknown if they will attend or participate. The agent for second-round WR Greg Little told the paper that he will advise Little not to participate in on-field drills if the player attends. Agent Andy Ross said Little has been in frequent contact with McCoy and other offensive players.
In addition to offensive drills and working out together, the players have been watching film of the West Coast offense and participating in off-the-field activities to build camaraderie.

From 20 of the top trial advocacy programs across the country, the FIU Trial Team won all five rounds in the competition, defeating the University of Houston, Fordham University, and Barry University in the preliminary rounds. They entered the semi-final round undefeated and as the second-ranked squad, where they defeated the University of Houston once again, and then William & Mary in the final round.
This year's tournament featured allegations of straw contributions, illegal money orders, a mayoral campaign, and the candidate's alleged honest services fraud in accepting a bribe to change her position to favor a casino referendum on the same ballot.

A family memorabilia shadow box is a wonderful way to bring treasures out of the keepsake drawer and into the open. This antiqued black-painted shadow box from Michaels was backed with vibrant green linen and adhered with fabric glue. Branches gathered from the backyard were tied together to create a mini family tree. Then the keepsakes, including family photos, a handwritten note from Grandma, and Grandpa's pocket watch, were placed on or around the tree's branches. Descriptions of each treasure were printed on colored paper cut into a simple leaf shape. Attach leaves and photos with a touch of hot glue. If you don't want to permanently adhere original photos, you can make copies, or simply attach them with pins.

MLSsoccer.com's Dan Haiek and Matt Doyle and break down the Fire's match vs. the Revs.
Frank Yallop, Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer
On his side's performance
"I thought we played very well the whole game. We really deserved the win, I think, today. Having said that, going a goal down right before halftime is never a good time. My team talk was to keep going. We were going to get chances, get that equalizer and hopefully go on to win the game. I'm very proud of the way we continued playing against a difficult side."
On how to get their first win
"If we keep playing like that, the wins will come. For me as a coach, I could only ask for effort, play and to create chances. We're getting punished for the odd chance the opposition is getting right now. In our last two games we've played well enough to win both games, but we haven't. So we got to keep going and not worry about it."
On the Jack McInerney and Marco Di Vaio partnership
"I had a feeling they may do that, with Jack coming into the team and them going for a home win. We were prepared for that. I think both of them run in behind very well. And to be honest, if you look at their goal, they did it well."
Forward Mike Magee
On the game's outcome
"Today was a good result. We've improved as the season has gone on. Today I felt we had a couple of missed opportunities. We were the better team, and you know it's just unfortunate."
On his side's confidence heading into the second half a goal down
"Obviously you don't want to give up a goal at the end of the half. At halftime, we said to keep doing what we were doing, keep plugging away and don't break our shape. We felt like we were going to get the equalizer and we also felt like we were going to get the winner, but it didn't come."
Forward Quincy Amarikwa
On scoring the equalizer
"We were confident to get everyone in the box as much as possible, just force the issue and pressure until something fell our way. I think Montreal was on their heels most of that sequence up until that goal and I felt it was just a matter of time until one of us put it away."
On what is needed to get their first win of the season
"A shutout. I mean if we can hold another team to zero goals, we'll win. We're scoring goals every game and that's what you want out of your offense. Collectively as a team, we just need to lock it down and not have any lapses in defense."
After a heartbreaking draw against the Union last weekend, the Fire travel north to Montreal to face another side looking for a first win of the season Saturday (2:30pm CT on My50/TWCSC). The game has added spice with former coach Frank Klopas facing the Men in Red for the first time as opposition coach.
Here are a few tactical observations to keep in mind on Saturday.
Continued focus on the wing play - taking advantage of Shipp's positioning
In last Saturday's match, Patrick Nyarko returned to the starting lineup and impressed. On the other side of the field, Harry Shipp looks much more comfortable when he cuts inside, as opposed to hugging the touchline and taking on players.
Shipp's set piece play alone is worth a place in the starting eleven, but his ability to pick a pass is also a dangerous weapon. Shipp's tendency to drift inside also benefits the Fire for other reasons.
First, in the absence of a creative central midfielder, it's not felt as much when the rookie comes central and occupies those positions. Against a team like Montreal that boasts an impressive attack, the use of two defensive-minded midfielders can be necessary (as I will explain in more detail later) but with Shipp filling the gap, the Fire don't lose much in an attacking sense.
Shipp's positioning also opens the door for Greg Cochrane to show his attacking talents from the left back position. Cochrane has fit seamlessly into the Fire back line and his excellent crossing ability has been on show in recent matches.
With the Impact's wide players like Mapp reluctant to track back on a consistent basis, the Fire could again benefit from attacking in the wide areas.
Continuing to win the ball high up the field - catching Montreal in transition
In the first half last week against New York, the Impact sliced through the Red Bull midfield as if they had three extra players on the pitch. Klopas emphasized transitioning the ball from defense to attack as quickly as possible and for most of the first half, that worked to devastating effect.
Montreal should've been well ahead at halftime but actually went into the break behind 2-1. The reason for this was because the Canadian team was caught trying to force the ball forward too quickly, resulting in turnovers, which the Red Bulls capitalized on twice in three minutes. I expect the Impact to try this tactic again on Saturday.
- INFOGRAPHIC: Where Fire and Impact are scoring, conceding from
Players like Mike Magee and Quincy Amarikwa both like to hound the opposing team when they are in possession in their defensive third. The Fire's first goal last week was a perfect example of this, with Amarikwa nicking the ball from a defender before setting up Magee for an easy tap in.
If the Fire can force the Impact into turnovers high up the pitch, it could prove costly for the Canadian team.
Attempting to contain Montreal's fearsome attack - staying compact and limiting mental mistakes
Just when we thought an attack featuring Marco Di Vaio, an in-form Justin Mapp and Felipe was going to be a challenge, the Impact went out and acquired promising American youngster Jack McInerney.
This move could see the Impact change formation to a two striker statute with Di Vaio and Jack Mac up front or see McInerney play in one of the wide attacking roles behind the target striker. In any case, the fluidity of the Impact's attack will be a major challenge for the Fire to contend with on Saturday.
None of the Montreal attacking players stay static for long, with Felipe essentially having a free role in the hole, Di Vaio often pushing wide, and Mapp cutting inside with the ball at his feet on a regular basis. With this in mind, the Fire defense needs to stay organized and compact and not allow Montreal to drag players out of position.
This has not been a problem for the Fire this season, with most of the team's nine goals against coming from lapses from set pieces. A clean sheet Saturday afternoon would be a massive achievement.
Prediction: The Fire score early and finish the game off late 2-0 with goals from Magee and Hurtado.

Mike Magee (a great dancer) can redirect a cross like it's nobody's business.
In this edition of slow it down, Quincy Amarikwa (also a great dancer), picks Amobi Okugo's pocket with flying colors, runs the ball down the field and crosses to Magee... you know the rest.
Voice of the Fire Dan Kelly put it best by describing Magee's play on the goal as being like, "A shifty little feline after a seven hour nap." You may be confused after reading this, but I promise after you watch the video below, it should all make sense. (unlike the duo's dance moves)
Let's slow it down!
Frank Yallop, Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer
On the response by the team to a tough draw
"Obviously very disappointed to not come away with 3 points today, especially going 2-1 down in the game, fighting back to 2-2, and having a penalty kick with no time left; I think it was almost storybook, but it would've been great for us to win the game in that manner. Having said that, for a neutral, great game to watch; you guys are watching it, it's a difficult pitch, we need to sort that out. Other than that, I had a talk with the guys at halftime. I questioned them a little bit about 'Did we really want to win? Did we really fancy our chances to come back into this game?' I thought we responded well, I thought we showed heart, and that's all I'm asking for, and we had a chance to win the game. So, disappointed we didn't win it, but all in all, maybe our luck could turn in the next game."
On Philadelphia's second goal and set pieces
"Well, I think the set-up, to be honest, a very good service, it's set up to do that: you're aiming for the back post, you're getting runners across the goal and goalkeeper. It either bounces and goes in the far post, or someone gets a touch, so it was a great service. We've been really, really poor; and I wouldn't say it's just individual stuff, but really poor on set plays generally, conceding goals. We have to clean that up, and it's something that we've been working on, we've looked a little bit better at it, but it's still something that's hurting us, so we need to address it and keep going. Again, I go back to the last 10 minutes of the game, and we're pushing to try and get something out of it, and I'd like to say I'm proud of the guys, the way they kept going in a difficult match, and didn't lie down and die, didn't accept the tie. We tried to win the match, and you'll be talking to Mike [Magee] later on, he'd love to have that back. Listen, penalty kicks are difficult, it's a precious situation, and sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't. I just saw it, and the kid [Philadelphia goalkeeper Zac MacMath] made a great save on it, so, tough."
On the issues behind set pieces
"Second balls. We talked about it, we've shown them, we've worked on it in training. You can't force us to be like that, but you can make habits out of it, so we'll just keep working on it. We'll address it again on Monday, we'll go over video, we'll go over it in training, we'll talk about being alert when the ball is bouncing about, getting to errors. It's dangerous, it's not always about staying with your guy, it's about heading the ball out, and I think we kind of get a little bit caught with 'I've got my fellow, but in the end, you could've helped out and cleared the ball.' So, good service, I thought it was a good service by the fellow [Philadelphia midfielder Leonardo Fernandes], and I think that in the end, we couldn't deal with it; but it was a pretty good goal on their behalf."
On the performance by the Fire midfield
"I really think, and I'm not blaming the pitch, but we couldn't really get into rhythm, especially in the first half, to play any stuff we wanted to. I went with Matt [Watson] and Jeff [Larentowicz] because I felt the center of that park is strong with Maurice Edu and [Brian] Carroll, so I wanted to match up with them, and I thought Patrick [Nyarko] would be a good matchup for anybody wide…I thought he had a good first half, he's not played for a little bit, and I thought he did well. I thought the matchups were good. Young Harry [Shipp] plays a little bit inside, so I wanted to maybe have a little bit of balance. I thought we played great for 20 minutes, to be honest…we scored a goal early, we could've gotten the second one. All in all, formations are formations. What I will say, is that subs made a difference again, and that's why they're there; like I always say, it's about guys that don't play, or substitutes in the match, to be ready to go, because you are the difference in the match. I thought Dilly [Duka], Juan [Luis Anangono], and Alex made a difference, I think that in the end, it's not just the 11 starters, it's everybody that contributes."
On learning more about the team and looking for the right team to field
"I think so. We've played preseason games, but in the end, it doesn't really matter, there's nothing on those games. These are the games, four points, that matter. I'm still learning about a lot of players, I'm still learning about the squad. We're unbeaten in four, by the way, so that for me is always a good thing for a coach. We haven't won in five, which is not a good thing, so I try to look positive; we have to look for the next game. I thought we did enough to win this match today; I'm not saying that Philly weren't very good or anything, which they were, but I felt in the end we pushed, we had two really good chances to score late, Mike having both of them, the penalty kick and the left footed shot. I think it would've been a deserved win. We're not far off, we have to keep going and not worry about not winning, because if you start worrying about it, you won't play well; so, it's my job to make sure that they don't worry about it, take the pressure off them and just get them to play, and the wins will come once we get that."
Mike Magee, Chicago Fire Forward
On what he saw on the penalty kick:
"I saw the goalie save it, which was unfortunate, and then I tried to tap it in and it was saved again. Obviously it was more his moment than mine."
On his goal:
"It's hard to talk about that to be honest. It's good to get the monkey off my back, but the only thing on my mind is not winning. I had a pretty sweet opportunity to be the hero, but it wasn't meant to be I guess."
On another draw:
"We want to win, and we need to win at home to be a successful team. I hate to lose more than I love to win, which is pretty cliché, but as long as we're not dropping games at home I feel like we're heading in the right direction. Sometimes when you squeak out games you don't deserve to win it's unjust, but tonight we deserved to win and we deserved three points. We're not getting it but I feel like it's going to translate."
On the importance of getting the first win:
"The first one is the hardest. I feel like the longer you go without winning, your confidence goes down, plays become harder and you over-think everything. Sometimes when you're winning, plays become easy because you don't care if you lose. The first win would have been perfect for us tonight. The stars were aligned for it and it didn't happen."
Jeff Larentowicz, Chicago Fire Midfielder
On midfield's performance:
"It's another example of how we're not getting beat in open play. I think we had a very solid scouting report coming in and I think we did well to shut it down. We gave up some fouls in dangerous places and they scored on restarts."
On playing his partnership with Watson:
"It's good. Matt's an honest guy, he's going to run all day long and he's been fantastic since he's gotten here. He's playing right back where he's never played before. We put him in the midfield, where he's more natural, and he'll run and cover ground and do all those things. Whatever the coaches decide going forward, it's good, if it's Matt, then great."
On what the team needs to do to get a win:
"Once we get a lead, we need to hold onto it. I think every game we've tied, we've been ahead and we haven't held on. It's all about having a consistent performance the whole game. In the first half we played well, then we had a lull and gave up goals."
On the emotions on how the game ended:
"There's no catharsis. We continue to seem like we're there, but we're not. You try and pick a bright side and say we're not losing, we're coming back, we're fighting, the substitutes are making a difference, new guys are coming – there are a lot of positives but in the end there's a hole, there's not a win, there's not three points in the standings.
From Brandon Marshall to Ron Harper, and Ozzie Guillen to Richard Dent, the new Harry Caray's Chicago Sports Museum and Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch at Water Tower Place was packed with familiar faces of Chicago sports' past and present on Tuesday night. You can add Chicago Fire's Mike Magee to that mix, as well.
Joined by teammates Quincy Amarikwa and Gonzalo Segares at the museum's VIP grand opening, the 2013 MLS MVP checked out various displays of Chicago sports memorabilia, among which was his own game-worn Fire jersey sitting in a glass case next to other jerseys worn by fellow Chicago professional athletes.
Magee's jersey wasn't the only Fire representation in the museum; Brian McBride's game-worn Fire jersey also sits among an elite group of Chicago sports gear, including Derrick Rose's Simeon High School jersey.
After exploring and engaging in several interactive sports displays, Magee, Amarikwa and Segares enjoyed an evening of Chicago sports camaraderie, chatting and mingling with a few fellow professional athletes and celebrities from area (such as James Denton and Billy Zane).
Magee even managed to reel in new Fire fans, including Brandon Marshall and Jarrett Payton as well as catching up with Fire fan Ozzie Guillen, who expressed interest in checking out Chicago's most recent MVP in action soon.
If he had a super power what would it be? Which teammate would win American Idol? Who would play him in a movie?
It's all in this episode of Both Sides of the Badge with Chris Ritter presented by Quaker.
Frank Yallop, Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer
On how he felt entering the match
"Confident, you know, we have not lost in two matches and I always look at the positive if I can, and you know we haven't lost in three, that's the way I look at it. We haven't won a game yet this season but again, it's not easy to win games, especially away from home in this league so we are looking forward to playing at home next weekend and hopefully we can get that in."
Sean Johnson, Chicago Fire Goalkeeper
On the team's defensive effort:
"I thought it was good, to be fair. I thought it was just a bit unfortunate. The second goal there was a bit of pinball action around. They got good forcing and I thought we had some similar situations where we had the ball in their box and things didn't really fall our way, but that's just the way it goes, that's soccer for you. I think we've done well and at the end of the day we've got to look at it. We got a point. We came in and I think we deserved three. We played well enough to get three, but it is just up to us to really push over that hump and turn the ties into wins."
On the tough field conditions:
"It's alright, I mean it's part of the game. We train in Chicago – it's been snowy, it's been rainy, it's been cold, so the conditions we are used to. You know, so it's nothing we don't see on a regular basis. The conditions were tough, but at the end of the day, we are professionals, it's what we signed up for and we deal with it."
Quincy Amarikwa, Chicago Fire Forward
On having three consecutive draws
"It's the third straight game we got points, I mean that's how you got to look at it. Not dropping points, especially on the road, is huge in this league. If you look at teams that make the playoffs on a regular basis, they don't lose, they at least get a draw or a win and you know that's how it goes. And if we can come away with points every single time on the road, I will take them."
On the difficult conditions
"You know, whenever it is raining like that it can get a little slick and hard to control the ball at times. You saw that last play; Pat played a good ball in behind that took a touch, on a regular field that holds up, for me today, it skips away. Just the elements you've got to deal with, and hopefully it starts clearing up everywhere across the league because everywhere we've been, the elements haven't been too kind to us."
Select shots from the Fire's 2-2 draw with D.C. United presented by MiAllstate.
After picking up a point in the home opener against Supporter's Shield winners New York last week, the Fire head to D.C. looking to steal all three points for the first time this season (LIVE 3pm CT on NBC Sports Network).
D.C. are in transition and are also in search of their first win. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective:
Continuing to attack with pace - utilizing Alex
Against New York last week, the Fire looked very dangerous on the counter attack when Alex was given space to run at the Red Bulls defense. Not only was the Brazilian able to beat players 1v1 but he drew defenders out of position, opening up space for players like Mike Magee and Quincy Amarikwa to move into.
In D.C.'s last match away in Toronto, Ben Olsen's team was also incapable of defending against the quick counter attack. Michael Bradley and Co. found it much too easy to bypass the lone United defensive midfielder Perry Kitchen who received little help from his fellow midfielders.
I expect D.C. to deploy another central midfielder to help out Kitchen against the Fire, but if the Men in Red can continue to break with that much pace and the interplay between Alex, Magee and Amarikwa continues to improve, the Fire should fare well on Saturday.
More attacking play from wide - taking advantage of D.C. team not fully settled
Against New York last weekend the Fire were forced into making changes at both outside back positions due to injury and suspension respectively.
Matt Watson and Greg Cochrane have had barely any time to work with their new teammates since their recent moves and it showed at times in last week's game. Against D.C., where there is a good chance both will start again, I look for an improvement in the attacking play from both players.
It will also be interesting to see how Watson/Shipp and Cochrane/Joya combine down each flank after another week's worth of training together. While there is certainly a weakness in the D.C. midfield, a balance between attacking down the middle and from the wings is necessary.
With so many new players on the field for D.C., positioning, especially defensive positioning, is a major problem. This was quite obvious in the Toronto match, with D.C. players often gesturing to one another in an attempt to determine who to mark.
If the Fire can get Watson and Cochrane forward to support the attack, it will pin D.C. back and could benefit the away team.
Keeping Eddie Johnson isolated and limiting set pieces - making it harder for D.C. to find the net
D.C.'s most notable offseason acquisition was striker Eddie Johnson, who on his day is one of the league's best strikers. In his first two games however, Johnson was an isolated figure up front, managing only 1.5 shots according to the website Who Scored.
The Fire's defense did a fine job shutting down Thierry Henry last week and will be looking to do the same against Johnson and perhaps register a first shutout of the season. D.C. have yet to score this year but are a major threat from set pieces with players like Jeff Parke, Bobby Boswell and Fabian Espindola looking to get on the end of quality deliveries from Luis Silva.
D.C. got men in the box at any opportunity against both Toronto and Columbus and I expect it to be no different on Saturday. After giving up yet another goal from a set piece last week, the Fire coaching staff will no doubt be encouraging the players to keep their concentration, especially against a team desperate to pick up its first points and goal of the season.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from Alex and Quincy Amarikwa.

Hey Panther Nation, I'm starting up a new series for post game day analysis. For every game this season I'm going to attempt to chart the offensive plays of the Panthers, as well as the different defensive fronts and coverages the Panthers Defense utilized. Based on that data, I will try to breakdown what worked well for the Panthers, in addition to what did not work out as planned. Hopefully from this data we can discern the Coaching Staff's Gameplan for the previous week, along with what the Staff might try to do moving forward.
However, as this was a preseason game, there was hardly any game planning, and the Panthers played three different QB's, as well as three different sets of players, the numbers are heavily skewed from what we would see in a normal game. Also, as this was my first go at charting the game, I did not chart the defensive fronts or coverages this week.
The Raw Numbers:
- The Panthers Offense ran 49 total plays on Saturday.
This number is slightly below average for a game, and can be attributed to the 6 three-and-outs the Panthers Offense amassed.
- OC Rob Chudzinski called 11 run plays and 38 pass plays.
This ratio is far from the relative balance we saw last season, however, in no way is it indicative of what we'll see in the regular season. Chud may have been looking to see how the Offensive Line would stand up against the Texans Pass Rush, or how our WR's would fare against the Texans Secondary.
- The Offense ran 32 plays out of 11 personnel, 6 plays out of 12 personnel, 10 plays out of 21 personnel, and 1 play out of 23 personnel.
This might be the most important statistic of all. The entire game, the Panthers really only used three personnel groups and only a handful of formations . Being as this was the first game of the preseason, Coach Chudzinski highly watered down his gameplan. Last year we would see much more variation and more personnel groups. The one play out of 23 personnel came on Tauren Poole's 1 yard TD run.
- As a whole, the Panthers Offensive Line surrendered 7 sacks: One on Newton, two on Anderson, and four on Clausen.
The Texans did dial up some blitzes, however they were largely successful at getting pressure with their Defensive Line and Rush LB's. Not all of the sacks could be attributed to the Offensive Line however, on one instance, both DeAngelo Williams and Greg Olsen motioned out of the backfield out wide, consequentially the Texans saw that Cam only had 5 blockers in, so they decided to send 7 pass rushers. Cam should have noticed the Texans blitz and hit one of his checkdowns before the pressure came. And while Jimmy Clausen was at the helm, there were a couple of cases where he held on to the ball for too long and was sequentially sacked.
- The Panthers Offense achieved 11 first downs in the game.
The Panthers Offense largely struggled to move the ball, and achieved most of their first downs while Derek Anderson was the QB, picking up 8 first downs with DA calling plays.
- In 11 personnel, the Panthers passed the ball 29 times, and only ran the ball 3 times.
This is another piece of evidence that supports a lack of gameplanning by Coach Chudzinski. It's doubtful that Chud and the Offensive Coaching Staff were trying to exploit something in the Texans Defense. During the regular season Chud wouldn't let such a gap develop. On those three runs, the Panthers Offense averaged nearly 9 yards per play.
- In 12 personnel the Panthers ran the ball three times and passed the ball three times.
This is a desired level of balance. The Offense didn't have a whole lot of success or any catastrophes out of this set.
- In 21 personnel the Panthers passed the ball six times and ran the ball four times.
This is another example of balance. Only on a few occasions were both Mike Tolbert and DeAngelo Williams used on the same play. It's likely that Chud wants to keep the cat in the bag in regards to Tolbert + D-Will/Stew.
- The Panthers passed the ball 16 times on first down, and ran the ball 8 times on first down.
Again, there is no trend to be discerned here as this is the pre season, and it correlates with the ratio of passes to runs. Though it is worth noting that 8 of the 11 run plays called by Coach Chudzinski came on first down.
Cam played 13 plays on Saturday. Six of his 13 plays came from 11 personnel, with five of the six plays being pass plays. Cam also called 4 plays out of 21 personnel, with two plays being passes and two plays being runs, and 3 plays in 12 personnel (two passes and one run). Technically speaking, Cam looked sound in the pocket and throwing the ball, however I was mildly unhappy with his ability to diagnose a blitz and dump off the ball to a safety valve. Anyhow, this can be partially attributed to solid play by the Texans Defense, as well as the difference in scheme (the Texans 3-4 Defense). All in all, we shouldn't be totally concerned with the vanilla version of the first team offense.
Derek Anderson saw the most action on Saturday, playing 24 downs, coming at the end of the 1st Quarter, the entire 2nd Quarter, and a series in the 3rd Quarter. 15 of his 24 downs came from an 11 personnel grouping. And of the 15 plays from 11 personnel, 14 were called running plays, the lone run being a 16 yard pick up from Tauren Poole. The Offense also ran 3 plays out of 12 personnel (1 pass & 2 runs), as well as 5 plays in 21 personnel (3 passes & 2 runs). After a pass interference penalty in the endzone, the Panthers ran a play out of 23 personnel and pounded the ball in from the one yard line. Derek looked decent in his action, displaying good pocket presence (minus his slide to avoid a pass rusher), and a propensity to place the ball in catchable positions.
Fan-favorite Jimmy Clausen participated in 11 plays, almost all of which came from 11 personnel. 10 of the 11 plays were in 11 personnel, and 9 of the 10 were passes. The other play came in 21 personnel, and was a four-yard screen pass to Lyndon Rowells. It was a very tough evening for Jimmy, as he suffered 4 sacks and a fumble. Some of his sacks were the result of poor pocket presence, and/or a dysfunctional internal timer, however on more than one occasion, the pressure of the Texans Defense, especially Whitney Mercilus, was inundating. Jimmy had one positive play in which he hit Armanti Edwards on a 9 route in the end zone, however the Texans' Safety made a good play and closed the zone; it was a decent enough throw, and it hit Armanti in stride, yet it would've been a tough catch.
Defensive Impressions:
Seeing as I didn't chart the fronts and coverages this past Saturday, I'll share a few brief impressions and observations I made of the Defense.
- It can't be repeated enough, Luke Kuechly looked awesome in his role as the Will Backer. Kuechly filled gaps, and sniffed out runs and passes.
- The Texans Zone Blocking Scheme was very successful at pushing the Front 7 out of their gaps, and exploiting the holes.
- The Defense was very vanilla, there was very little blitzing. On the first drive of the game, the Texans Offense had the ball inside the Panthers 30 yard line, and on a third down McDermott did call a blitz, leaving the Defense in Cover 1 with Godfrey in man coverage on the Y Wide Receiver. Schaub read the blitz and hit the Y WR on a skinny post, who moved it for a 10-20 yard game.
- In all, I only remembered seeing Cover 1 and Cover 2 coverage, which is not unusual for a preseason game, as Defenses don't want to give away a lot of their different coverage combinations before the games begin to count.
- The Texans were so successful at running the ball off tackle, that they were able to catch the Panthers LB's cheating to the sides. The Offensive Staff may or may not have noticed this, but soon there after, they called misdirection plays, leaving the Texans' RB's free to hit the gaping B gaps. The Texans also ran their fair share of play action out of the off tackle play, successfully fooling some of the Panthers DL and LB's, and picking up yards threw the air, as the Texans' QB's usually had enough time and space to make clean throws.

To do so, each student must complete a minimum of 12 s.h. of writing intensive courses, including ENGL 1100, 1200; at least one 3 s.h. writing intensive course in the major; and any other 3 s.h. writing intensive course of the student's choice. All second degree students will be required to complete at least 3 s.h. of writing intensive course work in the major.
WI Course Syllabi
The Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) Committee expects all
instructors teaching WI courses to have an explicit statement on each
syllabus to indicate that the course is part of the WAC program at ECU.
Each WI syllabus should have the following statement on them each
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Writing Intensive (WI)
[ENTER COURSE #] is a writing intensive course in the Writing Across
the Curriculum Program at East Carolina University. With committee
approval, this course contributes to the twelve-hour WI requirement for
students at ECU. Additional information is available at the following

WI Transfer Credit
A course will transfer into ECU as WI under two conditions. The course must either be a writing intensive course in a writing across the curriculum program at the university or college where it was taken and/or the course must have the words "writing" or "communication" (e.g., "Writing for Business and Industry" or "Business Communications") in the course title. Courses meeting either of these two criteria will be accepted as WI and count as writing intensive for ECU degree requirements.

Friends University Reports 2nd-Best Fundraising Year, Reaffirms Decision to Fund Scholarships at Existing Levels
Friends University received $7.7 million in gift income for 2008-09, making it the second-largest fundraising year in the University's history. In addition, despite decreases in many university endowments, Friends University is reaffirming its commitment to maintain existing scholarship levels for students in 2009-10.
"We are very grateful for the support that our alumni and donors have provided for the University – especially given the economic situation during the past year," said Dr. Biff Green, Friends University president.
Hervey Wright III, vice president of University Relations, said Friends University's successful fundraising year included a $3 million gift from J.R. and Gertrude Smith, which was used to help fund new student apartments on campus; an anonymous gift of $1 million; and several other large estate gifts in addition to annual gifts from alumni and donors.
Wright noted that while other universities are lowering scholarship levels or cutting back the number of scholarships awarded because of decreases in endowment values, the Friends University Board of Trustees voted at its meeting in October 2008 to use reserves as needed to maintain existing scholarship levels for 2008-09 and 2009-10.
"Since President Green came to Friends University in 1991, we were able to grow our endowment from $3 million to more than $50 million before the economic crisis hit," Wright said. "This has allowed us to build reserves that help us weather a slow economy, keep tuition increases low, and keep the effects of an economic downturn as far away from our students as possible."
Wright said Friends University awarded more than $6.2 million in scholarships in 2008-09 to more than 840 students. Ninety-two percent of full-time traditional undergraduate students received institutional scholarships (scholarships awarded by Friend University), and 85 percent of all Friend University students who were eligible to receive aid received some form of financial aid in 2008-09.
Wright credited the University's Planned Giving program with contributing toward much of last fiscal year's gift income success. He said approximately 40 to 70 percent of Friends University's annual gift income comes from people who have left a gift to the University through their will or through a gift of real estate, a charitable gift annuity, or other type of planned or deferred gift.

text: At Expo Night Life 2003 held in Guadalajara, Mexico, March 20-22, visitors to Tomcat de Mexico's booth were either refreshed with a nice cool drink in the Tomcat "living room" or could talk business in the more concealed meeting area. It was impossible for visitors to miss the Tomcat booth, as it was the first one visitors saw when entering the show floor. The large 16" ground-support goal post system sported a huge Tomcat logo held by heavy-duty spigoted truss. Other truss featured at the booth was the industry standard light duty and, the most popular in Mexico, medium duty spigoted. Tomcat Swing Wing Truss also made its debut in the Mexico market with much success. On the more interactive side of the booth were several Columbus McKinnon chain hoists enabling customers to get technical with the motor movements as well as the ever popular interactive chain hoist, allowing exhibitors to experience its inner mechanics.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Gov. Bobby Jindal has dodged questions about whether he'll visit the site of a massive sinkhole that has swallowed nine acres of land in swampy Assumption Parish.
Residents displaced since August have criticized the governor for having never traveled to see the sinkhole or speak with the families.
Asked Wednesday if he'll go the site, Jindal said he gets constant updates from state agencies overseeing response efforts. He pledged to hold Houston-based Texas Brine accountable for the damage and to make sure people are compensated for their losses.
But the governor wouldn't directly answer repeated questions about checking out the sinkhole in person.
Scientists say the sinkhole formed after the failure of an underground salt cavern operated by Texas Brine, which extracted brine and piped it to nearby petrochemical facilities.

Product Information
- Transformers: Dark of the Moon Mechtech Deluxe Autobot Ratchet from Hasbro
- Part of the Transformers brand
- We recommend this product for ages 5 and up
What It Is
What It Is
Transformers: Dark of the Moon doesn't hit theaters until July 1, 2011, but fans can already get involved with the new versions of these classic characters with the first wave of toys based on the film. Starting May 16, Hasbro is releasing a line of action figures, vehicles, and roleplay toys that are all, like the Transformers themselves, "more than meets the eye."
The Mechtech Deluxe Autobot Ratchet action figure transforms from an H2 Hummer into the Autobot Ratchet. The 5.5-inch figure comes with a unique converting weapon that is interchangeable with all other core Transformers Mechtech figures. Other Deluxe characters include Bumblebee and Starscream.
Why It's Fun
Transformers are all about transformation, and kids will love transforming this cool-looking action figure. They can act out scenes from the movies or create their own Autobot versus Decepticon battles.
Who It's For
Mechtech Deluxe Autobot Ratchet is for ages 5 and up. Fans of the Transformers movies will like this advance look into the new movie.
What to Be Aware of
This action figure is a level 2 on the transformation difficulty scale. It takes a good while to transform the action figure the first time, but that's part of the appeal of this toy line. The included instructions are good, but really serve as more of a guide. It might take lots of trial and error before finally completing the transformation, but it's a lot of fun to figure out how to turn Ratchet into the H2 Hummer.

Photos of famous faces like Oprah Winfrey and John F. Kennedy may soon help doctors diagnose early-onset dementia, in members of the baby boom generation.
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a test to measure the brain's ability to recognize and name those famous figures.
The faces were specifically chosen to be recognizable to people under the age of 65. This test should help doctors identify which type of impairment a person might have--whether it's memory, speech or other cognitive issues.
"Coming up with a specific name is more challenging than recognizing someone or giving a fact." So saying that, 'oh she's that lady who's on TV and she has a talk show and she's been around forever,' is much easier for individuals than it is to come up with a specific label like 'Oprah.,'" Dr. Emily Rogalski says.
"So that score gets transformed into a naming score and a recognition score and then that information tells us about how well they're doing with their language abilities, their naming abilities, and also their identification of objects," she explains.
Researchers also compare peoples' test scores with MRI scans of their brains to see where there might be cell damage.
They hope to use the test results to figure out what therapies might be most helpful.

Seems great! Except when you have crappy or no internet connection, and suddenly a $300 doorstop.
Good point. And I'm sure the developers are looking at this very situation. It'll be interesting to see how it all develops.
Chrome OS has to have a google gears option to work offline somehow. If you added just one program, OpenOffice, that would be major. But then you're back to current netbook computing.
One of the best things I took from this video on launch day was http://www.flashchess3.com/ --nice!
Wow! FlashChess is fabulous! I'm bookmarking! Thanks!

Can the Bengals get their running game going? If so, it won't hurt their chances at beating Pittsburgh for the first time since 2009. We take a closer look in Saturday's key matchup.
Steelers run defense vs. Bengals ground game
The Bengals' passing game can hurt the opposition in quick-strike fashion. Such is the luxury of having A.J. Green in the lineup.
The Bengals' running game is a different story.
Through six games, the Bengals are gaining 99.3 rushing yards per game, good for 21st in the NFL. The more salient statistic, however, is the club's yards-per-carry average: 3.87, which is just about what the club gained per carry a season ago (3.91). What's more, if that average holds through the entire season, it will mark the sixth time in seven campaigns that Cincinnati gained less than four yards per carry. The lone exception was in 2009, when the Bengals, powered in part by the running of Cedric Benson, won the AFC North. And even then, the Bengals ranked 24th in yards per carry (4.07).
BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who has replaced Benson (now with Green Bay) as the Bengals' featured back, is a tough, dependable inside runner without a great deal of speed. Green Ellis (107 carries, 362 yards, two TDs) is also known for his ball security, but he has fumbled three times this season, losing two. With Brian Leonard hurting, Cedric Peerman figures to be Green-Ellis' top backup on Sunday night.
When the Bengals lost Bernard Scott to a season-ending knee injury in Week Five, they lost their lone real big-play threat in the backfield. However, Green-Ellis still can be a productive and successful back in this offense, one that's going to stick with the ground game even if it struggles. If he can consistently gain between 4-6 yards on early downs and put the offense in workable situations on second and third downs, he will have done his job well. However, to this point, he has gained just 213 yards on 69 first-down carries, per STATS — a 3.1 yard average.
While the Bengals' ground game has some room for improvement, the same can be said for the Steelers' run defense. Pittsburgh, which allowed a mere 3.02 yards per carry just two seasons ago, is allowing 4.13 yards per rushing attempt entering Week Seven. That places the Steelers at No. 20 in that category. Of particular note: The Steelers are allowing 4.82 yards per carry on middle runs, close to a yard worse than a season ago.
There will be a lot of focus on whether the Steelers' pass defense can stop Green, who's one of the NFL's very best receivers. Forcing Cincinnati into obvious passing situations alone won't slow Green, but it won't hurt the cause. That's one of reasons why this matchup matters as these teams fight to avoid losing their fourth game of the season.

To relieve the near-constant pain, Sondra Scarber must use a syringe to squeeze medicine between her teeth. Swallowing anything solid - even something as small as a pill - is impossible. Speaking is very difficult. She said she was attacked at an elementary school playground for protecting a bullied four-year-old boy. The scuffle between children, however, quickly escalated into violence among adults, Scarber worries, because she is a lesbian.
