One of the many things MBA students learn in business school is how to take calculated risks. So it makes sense that many would gravitate toward the kind of risk-taking that takes place on green felt tables behind mounds of chips. Top schools such as the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business even boast established student poker clubs.
Caesars saw a recruiting opportunity in that shared interest and began hosting its MBA Poker Championship in Las Vegas in 2006. Players are able to network with Caesars executives throughout the event, and invitation-only job interviews take place the last day. To mark this year's tournament, which took place Jan. 18 to 20, Bloomberg Businessweek put together a list of MBAs that are also well-known for their poker skills.

Officials with the Flying Pig Marathon say Saturday's Flying Pig 5K and Toyota 10K races are both sold out.
According to Executive Director Iris Simpson-Bush, there will be no on-site registration available on Saturday.
A maximum of 5,500 participants were planned for the 3.1 mile race, and officials say those spots were filled at the P&G Health and Fitness Expo on Friday.
In addition, the 10K race sold out due to an 'overwhelming response'. A maximum of 5,700 runners were allotted for the 6.2 mile race.
"Last year's Flying Pig 5K had a field of 4,198 but we prepared for an additional number due to the growing support for the Marathon in light of the Boston Marathon Tragedy," said Simpson-Bush.
The sell outs are based on course capacity and number of medals and T-shirts available for participants.

Embry Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach, 1997 - $18,000
The need to run an internal combustion engine more efficiently and with minimal environmental effects is the driving force for this E-Team's ozone generator development project. With the introduction of ozone into an engine's intake gases, combustion becomes leaner. However, because ozone cannot be stored in tanks, it has to be produced on-board the vehicle. The E-Team has developed an innovative ozone generator that contains no moving parts and is compact, fitting into existing vehicles with little or no modification to the vehicle.
The team is currently evaluating the effects of adding ozone to a 1996 Chrysler mini-van that has been converted to run on propane. This device mitigates the inherent problems of high initiation energy required by high octane alternative fuels and creates a cleaner burning engine.
The Automotive Ozone Pollution Fighter E-Team began as a student team working on a natural gas vehicle as an independent project with Professor Francisco Ruiz as the team's faculty advisor. As the project progressed, several of the members participated in Professor Ruiz's NCIIA Invention and Innovation class in the spring of 1996. The project was one of the first to emerge from the class, with an E-Team of seven engineering students. The E-Team received the 1996 B.F. Goodrich Inventor's Prize in the undergraduate category.

The Parent Trip Review And Giveaway
November 25, 2008 by admin - Jennifer
Filed under Giveaways
The next item in the Christmas Giveaway here at the Dirty Shirt is something to relax with. A GOOD book. I give you The Parent Trip from high heels and parties to highchairs and potties by Jenna McCarthy.
Let me start out by saying, "Get ready to laugh your butt off", because this is one funny book. Starting with the Prologue on, this book will have you in stitches. And I will have to say that I have read just about every parenting book out there. Okay, well maybe not every one, but dang near close! They all say the same thing (and make me feel like I have no clue what I am doing even though I have three kids) but this one is so true, down to earth and FUNNY!!
Below are some excerpts from the book:
He shoots, he scores!
You know how everyone tells you not to tell anyone that you're trying to get pregnant? At first I thought this was simple common courtesy, as if by not disclosing this little nugget you are sparing your friends and relatives from picturing all of that valiant, clumsy endeavoring. I quickly learn the real wisdom behind this advice: The minute you tell folks you are "trying," the pressure is on.
"Well?" they drawl each time you see them, sizing you up to see if there's any noticeable addition to your girth.
"Nothing yet," you reply as breezily as you can.
Chew on this: A helpful, handy baby-feeding primer
It's pretty much agreed that as far as food is concerned, babies can get by on breast milk for the first year of life. To me, that's like saying "women can get by with one purse in perpetuity," which theoretically, of course, is true, but do I really want to carry a sequined silver evening bag roughly the size of a banana on a day trip to Disneyland? Am I expected to tote my lip-gloss and compact to the Opera (never mind that I don't go to the Opera) in my hot pink, laminated, moisture and mold-resistant, you-could-fit-a-case-of-diet-Coke-in-it diaper bag? And which of these two options—if I am going to be allowed but one—do I bring to a job interview? On a hiking trip? To a funeral?
My recommendation is that you get this book, weather you are a mom to be or already have that precious child, because it tells you all the "fun" stuff you will be dealing with or sheds new light on the situations if you have already been through them. The fun sections like Is my baby okay? (A field guide to overreacting) and "Take me now, big guy!" and other things you won't be saying anytime soon will have you cracking up. I had tears in my eyes during that last one.
Jenna touches on the very nerve that make us women and after everything we go through in the roller coaster called pregnancy we come out stronger than ever and with a everlasting prize, our children. And then we are ready to go through it all over again.
About Jenna, a writer whose work has appeared in more than forty national and international magazines, on dozens of web sites and in several anthologies. She has held staff positions for leading publishers including Condé Nast and Primedia, and for two years served as the co-host of Santa Barbara's top rated radio program, the KTYD Early Show. She has extensive media training and has appeared on numerous national news and lifestyle shows as a media spokesperson for Shape magazine. Aside from the professional things I have found by working with Jenna on this review and giveaway that she is a smart, down to Earth person, and loves what she does. I appreciate that in a writer!
What? Did I mention a giveaway? Well look at that, I did! The author of this great book, Jenna McCarthy has generously donated a copy of her book for me to give to one of my readers. All the fun rules are below:
- MAIN RULE – Tell me one funny baby memory you have of one of your children. (remember if this rule is not followed then no others will count)

Shane Carwin: You're going to see Brock Lesnar knocked out on the canvas
By Cory Brady on June 30, 2010
Shane Carwin recently joined ESPN SportsCenter to discuss his impending heavyweight title clash withBrock Lesnar during UFC 116 this Saturday evening in Las Vegas.
"You're going to see Brock Lesnar knocked out on the canvas," stated Carwin when asked to offer a prediction for his upcoming bout with the former WWE superstar and Division I NCAA wrestling champion.
Check out Carwin breaking down the main event of UFC 116 in the video below:
Angry Mike says:
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.
Lesnar doesn't need to stand and trade to win. All he needs to do his stun Carwin for just a split second so he can shoot in for a double leg takedown. Lesnar is so fast, especially for a man his size, that it's ridiculous. Once the fight hits the ground with Lesnar in top position, it's over.
Maybe Lesnar will keep it on his feet to prove he can outstrike a striker. If so, that gives Carwin a better chance. But if Carwin hurts Lesnar, Lesnar will revert to what he knows, and it's back to takedowns and gnp. Carwin has a chance, but I predict it's over by Lesnar ko or tko in either the first or second round.
Weak-Sauce. 26 36

Weak-Sauce. 10 28
Rich S. says:
If Lesnar strikes with Carwin, he's getting knocked out fast..
Carwin can also catch him coming in for the clinch or takedown..
If neither of those happen it'll be a long night for Carwin..
Hot debate. What do you think? 21 15
Lethal Liquid says:
Couldn't disagree more. Carwin has the off switch. He's gonna put Lesnar to sleep. Even if Lesnar takes him down he won't be able to keep him there. This isn't Mir he's taking down or Couture. This is a guy of comparable size and athleticism
Besides ring rust and that illness may have diminished Lesnar in a way not outwardly apparent
Carwin 1st Round KO
Well-Done. 39 19
JBAR says:
Carwin was a Div II NCAA wrestling champ so while Lesnar may have an advantage on the ground I am curious to see just how big that advantage will be. Carwin should be tough to take down and keep down if Lesnar is striking wildly. He has shown a tendency to get excited on the ground which is what cost him against Mir.
Hot debate. What do you think? 18 9
MickeyC says:
I've said it before and I will say it again. CARWIN BY NASTY KNOCKOUT!!!!!!!!!!
Well-Done. 30 18
Rece Rock says:
I really doubt we see Carwin with a KO…
Brock's got this… He's going to probably get tagged in the first only to awake the sleeping giant and it's a wrap from there on out… Carwin may be able to hold off 1 take down attempt but after the amount of energy spent doing so, the very next one he's on the ground and although they both have the wrestling back ground I'm giving the edge to Brock, I think he gets the stoppage.
Brock and Carwin on paper measure up but when you look at both men there's a size ( mass) advantage for brock and I think we see him smothering Carwin and dropping some bows an blows.
Just my opinion- either way can't wait to watch this shit.
Hot debate. What do you think? 23 25
manny says:
I hope he's not saying that just to hype this fight even more. We've seen what happens when matches get over hyped (evans boring win over rampage). But Carwin hasn't dissapointed us yet as no one has made it out the 1st round against him. 1st round KO for Carwin. Carwin vs Velasquez next ; Brock vs Cigano
Hot debate. What do you think? 10 13
bigbadjohn says:
You guys are in the Carwin trance. All his wins, his opponents have committed to standing with him. Carwin cant't throw huge hooks with such a high chance of being taken down. If youve seen Thiago and Hardys fights against GSP, you' d never have guessed they were such dangerous punchers because they must constantly be ready to sprawl.
Hot debate. What do you think? 22 13
MickeyC says:
Not only do I think Carwin will win, But I'm willing to bet Brock does not have the bollocks to even try to stand with him. And those of you that keep saying Carwin will get taken down with ease and not be able to get up are crazy. That is why Brock is talking all that crap and trying to show no respect. It is a defence mecanizum, cause he is scared to death. Brock if you are reading this Nighty Night.
Hot debate. What do you think? 16 17
MickeyC says:
Oh, and another thing, for those of you that watched the count down. Did anyone else think Brock was low class as hell for making that Division 2 comment about guys hanging themselves.
Well-Done. 21 6
Angry Mike says:
There are plenty of skilled, successful athletes in pro sports who also are douche bags. Lesnar may be one of them. Carwin wins the popularity contest–he seems like a decent guy–but Lesnar wins the fight, imo.
Well-Done. 22 8
primetime says:
I'd like to see Carwin win so he can defend his title against another undefeated opponent, Cain Valesquez…and that will also set up Lesnar vs Mir III.
Hot debate. What do you think? 8 15
bigbadjohn says:
Excuse my language but Who the fuck wants to see Lesnar Mir 3? Id rather see Lesnar – Cain, Dos Santos, ANYONE BUT MIR, even a rematch with Carwin regardless of 116s outcome. Besides, I personally loved the idea of Mir at 205- so many interesting match ups!
Well-Done. 21 7
danw84 says:
Lesnar vs BJ at a catchweight of 285lbs is what I wanna see.
Well-Done. 18 6
Mad_Hatter_XX says:
Judging my thumbs down/thumbs upon this thread all it takes to get mega thumbs down is hint that Carwin may not win. so here goes and get those thumbs down ready..
Carwin can KO Brock but, I think Brock plays it smart and makes it a wrestling match. Don't know the level of Carwin's ground game as he doesn't use it much. I just don't see it going 5 rounds either.
I say Brock via GnP late round 2.
Since I didn't praise Carwin like the man-god he must be for calling out ppl in his blog I must be ridiculed. BTW don't hate Carwin at all just think Brock finds a way to win
Well-Done. 16 6
Kamakosmo says:
Brock wins…Shane wins….This is a very tough fight to call, people. Each has the skills and the tools to destroy the other. Every UFC I bet with a work buddy of mine on the Main event (Only $20, nothing like all of you high M'Fucker Rollers here LMAO)…and the last 3, I have had to reluctantly hand over some green to this shit…I still cannot believe that half-right from Franklin knocked out the Iceman!!! I'm not a fighter, so i'll shut-up. Sooo, I'm just gonna sit back, 20 beers in, root on with the other idiots, and enjoy a 1-2 round mauling by who knows who…I'm done guessing.
Side note…..Akiyama…Bonnar…Pellegrino….Tuchscherer….and who cares….. (nice going Grove, pissing off Spike TV…IDIOT!!!!)
Well-Done. 12 2
Dufresne says:
I personally think Brock will win, but considering neither of them have a huge amount of experience with top tier fighters, we're all just guessing. Brock and Carwin are about the same size, with a slight advantage to Brock, and both are freakishly powerful. Brock broke Herring's orbital with the first shot in the fight and completely mauled Mir's face with very short punches, and Carwin has a habit of reaching out and touching folks on the light switch and has shown the ability to KO people while retreating and hurt.
I don't know how well Brock has recovered from the illness and how that may have affected his overall strength. But Brock, his camp, and no even Randy are all saying that he's back to 100% and is looking great, so I'm gonna trust the Natural's opinion here.
I think Brock gets the take down fairly early in the round, but he'll have to work for it more than normal. I don't know how well he'll be able to keep Carwin on his back, but I think that Brock has enough of a wrestling advantage to pull it off. Carwin's ground game is also based on wrestling, and we've seen time and time again that wrestling based fighters are not comfortable at all once they end up on their back and I think that will come into play here again. I also don't see Brock being afraid to posture up more in this fight compared to his last one with Mir simply because Carwin doesn't have the BJJ skills off his back like Mir does.
And here's a shocker for a lot of people, I wouldn't be overly surprised if Brock managed to KO Carwin. Yes, you read that right. Carwin was seriously rocked by Gonzaga in their matchup, and Gonzaga isn't exactly known as an incredibly powerful striker. If Gonzaga hadn't gotten overconfident and left himself open, or if Carwin hadn't landed that shot, I think Gonzaga would have finished him off there. Brock may not be known for his devastating strikes, but he broke a guys orbital (incredibly hard bone by the way) and KO'd Randy, both while standing, so it's not exactly like he's throwing pillows around.
Hot debate. What do you think? 11 7
primetime says:
No way Mir is gonna drop that much weight to fight at 205…and who cares who's gonna win…Big Country will have the belt soon after he woops JDS ! I can only image how well this comment will go over
"Excuse my language but Who the fuck wants to see Lesnar Mir 3? Id rather see Lesnar – Cain, Dos Santos, ANYONE BUT MIR, even a rematch with Carwin regardless of 116s outcome. Besides, I personally loved the idea of Mir at 205- so many interesting match ups!"
Hot debate. What do you think? 9 8
Dufresne says:
Mir has already said a few times that he's considering a drop to 205. Before he bulked up in an attempt to hang with the really big boys, he was coming into HW fights at 250 tops and looking chubby when he did. When he first came into the UFC he was a pretty small HW, running around at 230-240, so if he gets back down to that more natural size I can see him cutting down to 205.
He even trains with Forrest and says that they have similar frames.
Agree or Disagree: 5 3
Rece Rock says:
If Mir dropped to 205 i'd watch every one of his fights… I think he would be a real force in LHW… I think he should go for it.
Agree or Disagree: 7 6
FierceFlamingo says:
I think you guys are forgeting what makes this fight so exciting Atleast, in my opinion.
Carwin may be the only in the heavyweight division who can even compete with Lesnar in the wrestling department (I'm not saying he's better or even equal, I'm saying stands a chance!). All he has to do is keep it standing for just afew seconds… and he can end this fight., no matter how much you love lesnar, you have to admit that BUT
on the other hand, all Lesnar needs to do to win is surprise Carwin for just afew seconds with a takedown for a straight right, and he gonna have his shot to finish it on the ground.
its pretty close matchup on paper guys, we're just gonna have to wait for it
Well-Done. 12 1
Dufresne says:
I admit that Carwin probably has the best chance against Lesnar in the wrestling department as far as HW's go. I think Cain may actually be a better wrestler than Carwin at this point, but he's not near as big.
I think either of these guys has the chance to completely separate the other one from consciousness, I'm just picking Brock to win based on (perceived) overall skill sets.
And to be perfectly honest, I don't like Brock. I much prefer Carwin's interviews and personality, but this is MMA, so the nice guys don't always win.
Agree or Disagree: 7 3
MacBatty says:
Brock is used to picking up 300 – 450 lbs of dead mass on a nightly basis from his WWE days so taking Shane down isnt going to be a problem…
Brock is also used to getting hit in the head with a chair repeatedly from his WWE days….So im sure he will be able to hang with Shane until he takes him down and ground and pounds him…
I love that all the MMA purist hate Brock….Your going to hate him more Saturday night when he beats the crap out of "Mr All my fights have ended in the first round even though 90% were against scrubs"…Then you guys can start your…."Well maybe Cain can beat him or maybe Dos Santos"…

God, I hope you are not serious. You realize that he was not really being hit, and that those guys jumped to assist the pick up right. You arn't one of those rednecks that still think that stuff is real?
Has Brock ever knocked anyone out? Not TKOs but real to sleep knock outs? I know he beat Randy and good for him looks great on his record. Never mind that Randy was 40 lbs lighter, 15 years older and had not fought in over a year. But he did beat Heath, could not finish him standing or on the ground even with his division 1 title. And Mir, he beat mir to, a smaller weaker Mir than Carwin faced, and I believe Carwin got the job done a little quicker, oh and it didn't take him two times to do it either.
Hot debate. What do you think? 9 6
LiverPunch says:
It is possible. He has a punchers chance. That is all he has though. Brock is faster, stronger, younger, a better wrestler and will not stand and trade (i hope!).
Just my opinion.
Agree or Disagree: 6 5
moosebaby02 says:
Carwin is going to lose this fight just as bad as he was suppose to be WORKED by mir.
I have been saying it since i saw Carwin take out gabe.
Carwin will be the next HW CHAMP
Agree or Disagree: 2 5
Niv says:
I truly hope Carwin does ko Brock, but I have to think that Brock is going to grind out a win against him.
I can't help but replay the Gonzaga/Carwin fight in my head where Gonzaga was completely manhandling Carwin during the first round. Carwin's offense was exactly zero up to the point where he threw that one punch while dazed and ko'd Gonzaga. The punch and composure he showed was impressive, but I think it showed some holes that will most likely be exposed by Brock.
The side note to this is that neither of these guys has a long enough track record to definitively state how this fight will go. It's a very intriguing match-up and hopefully it will be a hard fought exciting fight, it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Agree or Disagree: 3 1
mu_shin says:
Not a lot to say that hasn't been said- Great when two such well matched opponents get a chance to fight for a title.
Razor thin margins on this one, but as much as I appreciate Shane Carwin and his self effacing demeanor, something is telling me Brock will display a depth of ability and mental toughness that will surprise a lot of his detractors.
Still lots of variables here: Lesnar's physical condition, and the undeniable presence of ring rust, which I think we saw in the Rampage/Evans fight. Carwin is a great striker, but if an opponent of equal size and strength gets close enough to clinch, does he have the technique and stamina to go into the later rounds? Shane is big, strong, and fast, but can he come forward into the shot like Lesnar has demonstrated he can, and put Brock on his back, then keep him there for Gn'P? Can Brock survive the lights out shot, like Carwin showed he could against Gonzaga, maintain composure, and continue to implement his gameplan? Lots of questions to be answered in the cage on Saturday night, and lots of excited fans awaiting those answers…
Agree or Disagree: 6 1

why is it that brock can learn from his mistakes and only get better while Carwin is just know for having holes in his game and will be exsposed?????

As a fan of both fighters,I'm excited for this fight…..I can't pick a winner here,cos there are so many circumstances that can change a fight outcome (i.e., one lucky punch…)but I hope that UFC has re-enforced the cage,cos these two big bulls could wind up thru the cage onto Rogan and Goldberg's laps!! Can't wait for this one!!

MickeyC says:
Has Brock ever knocked anyone out? Not TKOs but real to sleep knock outs? I know he beat Randy and good for him looks great on his record. Never mind that Randy was 40 lbs lighter, 15 years older and had not fought in over a year. And that the only reason he even got a shot was cause the two people who should have gotten a chance were doing a TV show. But he did beat Heath, could not finish him standing or on the ground even with his division 1 title. He had 15 minutes, if he is so dominate of a wrestler and has such knock out power, where was it? Maybe his wife had them in her purse that night and he forgot to grab them.And Mir, he beat mir to, a smaller weaker Mir than Carwin faced, and I believe Carwin got the job done a little quicker, oh and it didn't take him two times to do it either. Every one is talking about what Brock is capable of doing, based on what ?Dude has never done anything. He got put in the title picture to sell tickets. Dana made a fortune.
Sorry if the Carwin haters do not like this, but as I said THESE ARE THE FACTS.
Agree or Disagree: 4 1
Niv says:
I for one am not a Carwin hater at all, I actually like the guy. He seems like a good guy and one that would be a great role model as a champ. He's intelligent, educated and well spoken, but aside from that I haven't seen enough of him to think he's going to beat Brock.
I understand that we haven't seen much of Brock either but my hunch is Brock's going to grind out a win with his wrestling and gnp. Let's face it the guy doesn't have anything else as far as I've seen but in this case I feel it will be enough.
On a personal level I will be rooting for Cawrin the whole way and hope he proves me wrong.

i also love the fact that people are saying that they havent seen enough of Cawin to give him any credit when only seeing 5 fights from Brock
Agree or Disagree: 3 0
mywordisgospel says:
My prediction for Brock. He will shoot several times for a take down, if he is successful he wont be able to keep Carwin down. He will get frustrated and try stand with Carwin and get knocked out in a devastating fashion. Brock will blame it on ring rust. Dana will come to his defense since Brock is his cash cow and we will see a rematch soon.
Agree or Disagree: 3 1
BigDave says:
People this is easy Brock is just way to strong and fast for Carwin to be able to handle
on the feet or on the ground. Brock is a division 1 wrestler Carwin division 2. Also brock has age on his size.
Agree or Disagree: 1 4
Niv says:
Please don't use age here, Brock's in his 30′s one year younger than that Fedor guy everyone keeps pretending is old and washed up.
I agree that Brock should power through Carwin but we have seen very little from either guy. Every time I see Carwin/Gonzaga I think this guy can be tossed around, but wait a second Brock couldn't hold LHW Couture down when they fought, so maybe I'm giving Brock too much credit that he'll be able to manhandle Carwin.
Either way, even though I can't personally see either guy hold the number 1 HW spot yet, I am intrigued to see how this fight plays out.
Agree or Disagree: 3 0
Dufresne says:
I love how when one guy is known for KO'ing people they forget to look at the stats. Yes Carwin is huge, yes he has heavy hands, but the two top quality opponents he's beaten are also prone to getting KO'd. All of both Gonzaga and Mir's losses have come via (T)KO. I'm not saying he's not dangerous on his feet, I'm just saying that we've never seen him test anyone with a solid chin.
And with that said, I'm not saying Lesnar has a solid chin. He got rocked by Mir in their 2nd fight and saved himself by pulling off the single-leg takedown.
While I personally think Lesnar has the advantage on the ground, we don't really know since the only time we've seen Carwin on the ground was when he was sitting on a guy's chest and punching him in the face. We can look at past accomplishments there and point out that Lesnar is a Div I champ while Carwin is a Div II champ, but we tried pointing out that Hendo was a better wrestler than Shields due to his past works, and look how that worked out.
Niv, while I agree with you that Lesnar is fairly close to Fedor in age, I don't think they're at the same point in their careers right now. Fedor has been in 35 MMA bouts, many of them wars, and hundreds of other combat competitions. All of which have taken a toll on his body. Lesnar wrestled in college, but that's not near as damaging as MMA+Sambo+Judo for as many years as Fedor's been in the game. So I think that comparing Lesnar's age with Carwin is a perfectly fair thing to do.
Lesnar is 32 and has only been in 5 fights. Carwin is 35 and has been in 12 fights. They have about equal time in collegiate wrestling, so that's not a factor here. The numbers don't lie, Carwin is older and we've traditionally seen MMA fighters start to take a turn for the worse at ~35 years old (except Randy, he's a freak of nature), and while I don't expect Carwin to come out and completely gas or have a coronary in the Octagon, I think that he might have a little harder time recovering from training and lasting as long in a match. So far it hasn't been an issue, possibly because he's never been past the 4th minute of a fight, but if this goes into the deep rounds I wouldn't be surprised to see Lesnar with an advantage in conditioning.
I freely admit that this fight could go either way, especially since I've personally only seen 4 matches from either fighter and both have shown incredible power. I happen to believe that Lesnar will be the one with the belt at the end of the night based mostly on a percieved advantage on the ground, in size, and because I've never seen Carwin fight long enough to know what his cardio looks like.
Agree or Disagree: 2 2
Niv says:
Dufresne I agree that Fedor without a doubt has a lot of hard mileage on his motor, and it remains to be seen if his loss to Werdum is the signal that he's slowed and heading onto his eventual decline, or he just got caught plain and simple.
I think Werdum caught him, but I also am guessing a bit because Fedor himself said that he didn't react in auto when he left his arm hanging there for Werdum (maybe an admission he's actually slowing).
Either way that is the one advantage both Brock and Carwin carry over Fedor, I just know that no matter how much training those guys put in they don't have the time to develop the skill sets Fedor built up since he's been doing Sambo and competing since his teens.
Regardless as I've stated previously I really look forward to the big bulls clashing in the cage, regardless of the outcome I hope they put on a good show. It would be sad to have all this build up and produce a dud, always a possibilty but somehow I think this one will deliver.
Agree or Disagree: 1 0

Anyone see that? Anyone?……..HAHAHHAAHAHA…….Brock Lesner 1 – Haters and Shane Carwin 0

From its humble beginnings as an agricultural and mechanical school in 1906 to a leading university, the University of West Georgia has a history rich with knowledge and growth.
The Fourth District Agricultural and Mechanical School in Carrollton opened its doors in response to a call for "more realistic educational programs for rural youth" ages 13-21. With the site of the former Bonner Plantation chosen as a location, 110 pupils enrolled in 1908.
As time changed, so did the educational priorities of Georgia and the nation. By 1933, seven of the A&M schools abandoned their missions, and a decision was made to abolish the remaining A&M schools.
Despite the change, the Fourth District Agricultural and Mechanical School was chosen later that year to become West Georgia College, a two-year institution of higher learning.
The evolution continued when West Georgia became a four-year institution in 1957. At that time, 589 students were enrolled. By 1971, enrollment had increased to over 6,000 students. Just seven years after West Georgia received University status, fall enrollment topped 10,000.
In addition to educational changes, the university's physical stature developed as well. Recent additions include the Coliseum and University Stadium. Ingram Library, originally constructed in 1968, is currently being renovated.
Today, more than 100 programs are offered at the University of West Georgia through the College of Arts and Humanities, the College of Social Sciences, the College of Science and Mathematics, the Richards College of Business, the College of Education and the School of Nursing.
Graduate Studies offers Master's and specialist degrees with the education and psychology department offering doctorate degrees.
Courses are also available for students in remote areas through the Distance Learning Program, which conducts classes both online and through videoconferencing.
UWG is also the only university in Georgia to offer an Honors College. The Advanced Academy of Georgia allows exceptional high school juniors and seniors to live and study on campus while completing their high school graduation requirements.
With help from the West Georgia Foundation and programs such as the Annual Fund, which benefits scholarships, faculty development, advanced technology and more, UWG continues to grow and excel in educational progress.
From the Carrollton campus to the Newnan, Dalton and Rome, Ga. divisions and beyond, UWG's reach and influence is as wide and deep as its roots. Come experience the difference.

Historically, industrialization and other human activities have had a significant impact on the health of the South Platte River and Denver's adjacent urban environment. Revitalization efforts that began in the 1970's have led to a cleaner river with new parks, trails and natural areas. Although significant progress has been made in recent decades, more can be done to improve the river as an amenity and resource that could attract new development and investment.

Derry News
---- — Three digits carry a lot of meaning — 603 says it all. Few states still have just one area code, but New Hampshire is one of them. That fact is just one of thousands of reasons why residents and former residents love the Granite State.
The staff of the Derry News and the New Hampshire edition of The Eagle-Tribune are counting on you, our readers, to help us come up with a list of at least 602 more reasons why New Hampshire is such a special place.
We're launching a yearlong project we're calling "603 Reasons."
Once we have gathered those 603 reasons that make New Hampshire the place it is, we will report on dozens of them in depth over the course of the next 12 months.
But first we need your help. Does the state's "Live Free or Die" motto sum it all up for you? Is it a ride over the Kancamagus Highway during foliage season that reaffirms this is the best place to live?
Many people say the absence of a sales or income tax makes New Hampshire attractive. If that's one of the 603 reasons, we will look at what cost is associated with not having those taxes.
Does the sight of steam rising from Hank Peterson's Londonderry sugarhouse in March warm your heart? We might take a look at the state's maple trees, their collective health and the future of sugaring in the decades to come.
New Hampshire has the distinction of being the only state in the country without a seatbelt law for adults. If you believe in personal choices, that may make your list. If it does, we will look at highway safety records, voluntary seatbelt use and the loss of federal highway dollars.
You get the idea.
Now, we urge you to submit as many reasons as you choose why New Hampshire is special. We will count, analyze and report the top 603 reasons as soon as we reach that mark. From that point forward, readers can count on seeing at least one story a week based on those reasons.
Send your reasons to email@example.com, tweet them to @ETNHEditor, mail them to 46 W. Broadway, Derry, 03038, or post them on facebook.com/DerryNewsNH.
This project won't work without you.
We look forward to your response.

LONDONDERRY — Police this morning captured a man at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport who allegedly fired a handgun earlier in his Londonderry neighborhood.
Police identified the man as Donald Pearson of 6 Valley St.
"At this time, we do not know if any houses or other structures were hit," Lt. Tim Jones said.
Officers are still investigating. Police did not immediately disclose what charges may be pending against Pearson.
Police searched the neighborhood after receiving the report shortly before 8:30 a.m. Pearson eluded them after someone picked him up and dropped him at the airport.
The person made a 911 call to police, alerting them Pearson was at the airport. He was trying to take a car parked curbside at the airport, when police arrested him without incident.

Top 16 Albums of 2012 (#16 - #9)
Last week we finished out our look at the worst albums of 2012, which inspired a fair amount of great discussion. This week we move on from the worst to the best. 2012 saw great albums from every genre from rap/hip-hop to rock and pop music. We had long-standing legends in the industry release amazing pieces of music right along with up-and-coming acts and those who make it a regular habit of dominating the charts in the current era. This week we will kick off our look at the best with the sixteenth through the ninth best albums of the year.
All you had to do in order to qualify for this list was release an EP or LP in the year 2012 within the United States, and do a great job at it. Pretty straight-forward.
Just Missing The Cut

Garbage -
Not Your Kind of People

#16: Fiona Apple -
The Idler Wheel...
Fiona Apple has had a hard time being taken seriously by the music-listening public at large for the last decade and a half or so. To most people she will always be the waify girl who got up on stage and ranted about the world being bullshit while she was accepting an MTV Music Award, and then went on to make an album with a title that set a world record for longest title, and may have set another one for "most people who spontaneously rolled their eyes upon hearing about an album title." That exceedingly long title got in the way of the fact that it was perhaps one of the best albums of the 1990s. Apple took a hiatus soon after and came back in 2005 with the long-delayed and critically-acclaimed
Extraordinary Machine
. For her fourth studio album, she went for that long title motif again; the full title is
The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do
. (Hey, at least it doesn't constitute its own paragraph!) We'll just go with
Idler Wheel
. While I love her past work,
Idler Wheel
is perhaps her best work to date. The album is a beautiful piece of work, with arrangements that range from delicate to harsh but never unappealing. It is a very raw album thematically--as one might expect from Apple--but there is restraint when needed so that when she lets the full brunt of her emotional force the impact is that much stronger. This is undoubtedly a triumphant return for Apple, and one can only hope that her next album doesn't take almost a decade to get to us.
#15: Frank Ocean -
Channel ORANGE
Frank Ocean was one of the most talked-about artists in the industry in 2012. Whether it was people gossiping about his sexuality (which he came clean about just before
Channel ORANGE's
release), his association with the controversial Odd Future or his guest appearances on tracks from the likes of Jay-Z and Kanye West or Kendrick Lamar, all eyes were on him for the release of his solo album. To say that it took the world by storm is an understatement. The album is perhaps the most ambitious album of 2012, taking R&B and going in entirely unexpected directions with it. Whether it is his soaring vocals on "Thinkin Bout You," his confessional standpoint on "Bad Religion," his club-ready epic "Pyramid" or any of the other tracks on the album, Ocean isn't concerned about staying within the lines and that's what makes the album work so well.
Channel ORANGE
reminds me a lot of the works of Radiohead in that it takes multiple listens before the layers are really peeled back to appreciate all the secrets. But at the same time it has an accessibility that some Radiohead LPs end up lacking; while you gain more with each listen, there is plenty to enjoy with even that first spin through. This is a multi-layered and powerful debut from an artist who may well pull R&B from the overly-safe doldrums in which it finds itself.
#14: Bruce Springsteen -
Wrecking Ball
Forty years after his first studio album, Bruce Springsteen remains one of the most relevant voices in American rock.
Wrecking Ball
, the New Jersey native's seventeenth album, has been labeled as his angriest and most pointed album in his career and it is difficult to disagree with that assessment. As the opening track and first single "We Take Care of Our Own" opens, we are treated to thundering drums that immediately let us know that this isn't an LP for the easy-listening set. And yet Springsteen isn't raging just to rage; the album has the rock icon's characteristic poignancy and depth. He takes aim at the people's to provide each other with aid with the kind of sarcasm that would be overwrought and thus less impactful in the hands many artists; with Springsteen, it has just the right level of restraint to make it meaningful. From there the album moves on to a more down and dirty rock with "Easy Money" and proceeds to make its way through tracks with gospel, bluegrass, folk and good old-fashioned rock touches. The lyrical themes are incredibly relevant to current events but have a timeless sense to them; this is an album that will sound just as timely fifteen years from now. It is Springsteen's singular vision all the way through and represents the sound of a true legend in the rock industry at what may just be his highest point yet from a musical standpoint.
#13: Marina & the Diamonds -
Electra Heart
One of my favorite things about 2012 in music has been the encroachment of variation in pop music. For the past several years pop has ventured almost universally into the dance-pop era in an attempt to keep things bubbly and upbeat. There is room for a lot of discussion as to why, but the charts have found themselves increasingly dominated by electro-club beats. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does turn the airwaves into a sort of indistinguishable Auto-Tuned soup. Thus, as a pop music fan the rise of new and different twists on pop music into the charts has been quite welcome to me. Marina & the Diamonds straddles that line between dance-pop and experimental pop quite nicely. There is undeniably a radio-friendly electro-pop aspect to her music, and to her credit she does that quite well. But on
Electra Heart
she ventures outside of the constraints of what top 40 radio considers its bread of butter just enough on each track to thoroughly distinguish herself. With her distinctive voice almost moaning her lyrics over the various melodic excesses, it forces you to stop and actually pay attention to her. On tracks like "Fear and Loathing" she tones back the musical production and lets her voice take front and center, making you realize that in fact she can actually sing quite well. It's a surprisingly great album from an artist who has made great strides since 2010's
The Family Jewels
, and I'm excited to see where she goes from here.
#12: Killer Mike -
R.A.P. Music
There are some who might think that Killer Mike is a new player in the rap game. Those people have probably forgotten his debut LP
, which was a top 10 record in 2003. And they certainly have missed the fact that in the time between he has released no less than four LPs. While none of those albums caught fire with audiences, the Outkast protégé has been consistently building his skills and this past year finally stepped to the forefront with
R.A.P. Music
. It is an album that takes on everything from political and social issues to the state of hip-hop itself and does so in impeccable fashion. The sound is classic hip-hop, with unimpeachable production from El-P and sees Mike at the finest of his career to date. While acts like 2 Chainz, Drake and Lil Wayne were dominating the charts to rap's detriment, Killer Mike made his move and the result was a massacre from a critical standpoint. His flow is impeccable and his message is hard-hitting and unavoidable. Over a decade after his career took off, Mike has established himself a true force to be reckoned with in the rap game.
#11: Pink -
The Truth About Love
Hands down, Pink is one of the top three artists currently working within mainstream pop music. People can take issue with her outspoken social and political views, they can decry the fact that she's not the best pure singer in the business and they can call her a poser when she tries to rock it up. But you can't deny that she is one of the most intelligent lyricists in the genre and has found the perfect balance between mainstream acceptability and edge. Rihanna has an edge to be sure, but she tries way too hard to manufacture that edge. Pink genuinely rocks within a pop music framework. As I said, she is not the best pure singer but she does have a damned good voice and she puts that to use on
The Truth About Love
, throwing a rock growl into her stylings on "How Come You're Not Here" and then toning it back for "Beam Me Up." In-between you have brilliant satirical efforts in tracks like "Slut Like You," which does in one song what Ke$ha has been trying and failing to do her whole career in terms of taking the power of sex back. She's not afraid to cut loose for a little bit of fun either, such as "Walk of Shame." This was the best that mainstream pop had to offer and while your appreciation of it may vary based on whether you like the genre, you have to appreciate what it brought.
#10: Jack White -
After the White Stripes broke up in 2011, all eyes turned to Jack White with curiosity of how his solo album would fare. It was one of the most anticipated albums of the year and upon its release in April, it quickly established itself as one of the most critically-loved LPs at the time, a status it held onto through the end of the year. And it certainly deserved that status, as White stepped a little bit outside of his usual sensibilities to incorporate elements of other genres into his trademarked sound to great effect. It is the kind of album that you will either love or hate from the first seconds of "Missing Pieces"; that isn't to say that the album doesn't go in a few different directions after that--it is undoubtedly his most musically-diverse effort of his career--but the opening track does tell you exactly what to expect. The singles such as "Love Interruption" and "Sixteen Saltines" are all top-notch tracks and there is nary a flaw to be found in the album tracks either. This is one of the top rock albums of the year without question, showing that White is as much a force to be reckoned with on his own as he ever was with the White Stripes.
#9: Grizzly Bear -
The Brooklyn-based indie rock band Grizzly Bear has been producing music since 2002, with their first album
Horn of Plenty
hitting the shelves in 2004.
is their fourth studio album and is easily their best to date. The group took a six-month hiatus after 2009's
and it did them good, with their return LP featuring fantastic songwriting amidst a beautifully resonant sound. The group's psychedelic pop sound is infinitely pleasing to the ears and they are at the top of their game in that respect on
. On "Yet Again" they combine their skillful vocal harmonies with a sound out of time that makes for exceptional mood music but isn't dumbed down either. The latter half of the album scales it back a little bit, that that makes it no less of a great listen. There are those within the indie rock genre who just bore me to tears, and then there are those who I absolutely love listening to. More than ever,

FGCU Women's Tennis Falls at UCF, 5-2
ORLANDO, Fla. – Jessica Sweeting and Priscillia Villemond won their singles matches for the second straight day, but it wasn't enough as the FGCU women's tennis team lost to UCF 5-2 in Orlando on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles will travel to Daytona Beach tomorrow for a dual match at Bethune-Cookman.
Priscillia Villemond (Les Bordes, France) and Iris Rendon (San Antonio, Tex.) battled hard but lost the No. 1 doubles match to Jenny Frisell and Katie Orletsky, 9-7. The No. 2 doubles was also a close contest, but FGCU's Jessica Sweeting (Freeport, Bahamas) and Katharine Evans (Fort Myers, Fla.) narrowly lost to the Knights' Jenna Doerfler and Alexis Rodriguez, 8-6.
In singles play, Villemond improved to 2-0 on the season with a 6-3, 3-6, 10-6 victory over Allison Hodges at the No. 4 position. Sweeting also won for the second straight match, defeating Doerfler at No. 3, 6-4, 6-4. Rendon played well at No. 2, extending the first set to a tiebreak, but ended up losing 7-6 (0), 6-1. The Knights claimed straight set victories in the other three singles matches.
After playing three matches in as many days, the Eagles will get a bit of a break before their next match. FGCU will host Florida Atlantic on Friday, February 5, in the first of 11 consecutive home matches. The match is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. at the FGCU Tennis Complex.

The Demographics of America's Governors
by Inoljt, Wed Oct 26, 2011 at 11:34:59 PM EDT
This post will look at the demographics of America's governors and compare them to the demographics of America itself. It will specifically examine gender and race, which are easy to determine. I would add other factors, such as income, age, or area of birth – but these factors are a lot harder to find and work with.
A future post will examine how political party plays into this.
(Note: I strongly encourage you to click the image links on this post when reading; they're essential to understanding what I'm saying.)
About half of Americans are male, and about half of Americans are female.
Most of America's governors, on the other hand, are male.
Out of the fifty governors in the United States, 44 are male and 6 are female as of October 8th, 2011. In other words, 88% of governors (about every nine out of ten) in the United States are currently males.
Race is a bit more complicated than gender. According to the 2010 Census, 63.7% of Americans are white – which means that 36.3% of Americans are not white.
The majority of America is white, and similarly the majority of America's governors are white.
Out of the fifty governors in the United States, 45 are white and 5 are minorities as of October 8th, 2011. Exactly nine out of ten governors in America is white.
Gender and Race
We can combine these two sets of data to get a map of America's governors by both gender and race.
Out of the fifty governors in the United States, 41 are white males, 4 are white females, 3 are none-white males, and 2 are non-white females as of October 8th, 2011. White males overachieve quite splendidly; despite being less than one-third of the overall population, they compose more than four out of five of America's governors. 82% of America's governors are white males.
America is a very diverse place.
Its governors, on the other hand…not so much.

The field for the 2013 Spokane Hoopfest Tournament is set, and the brackets are filled with its customary list of creative, funny, and sometimes provacative team names. The SWX staff broke down the brackets and whittled the list down to a Top 10.
10. Armpit JuiceWith temps expected to reach the high 90's, expect the juices to be flowing for these guys this weekend.
9. Cookies and KareemThis can only be assumed to be a nod to the NBA's all-time leading scorer, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. And cookies. What's not to like?
8. Schmuck DynastyYou have to love any team that pays homage to A&E's hit reality series, "Duck Dynasty."
7. Cougin ItWe at SWX frown upon the phrase, but those who are Cougs have every right to use the term. Let's just hope they don't "Coug It" during Hoopfest.
6. Last Picked in PEMany of us have been there, haven't we? It's nice to see a band of players who embrace that dubious honor, and build an entire team around that mantra. We'd wish them good luck, but we don't think it will do much good.
5. Pass the Oxygen TankIt's 3-on-3 halfcourt basketball basketball, guys. Though we admire your honesty, if you need an oxygen tank, it may be time for you to find other ways to spend a summer afternoon. Like playing Wii Tennis. Or watching SWX.
4. Insulated Six PacksWe see what you did there. You have six pack abs, but they're insulated under a sizable layer of... er... protective shielding? We're hoping you get to be "shirts" and not "skins" on the court.
3. Big Deng TheoryWe know a good name when we see it, and even sports nuts like us are closet fans of Leonard, Sheldon, and Raj.
2. Lower the Rim PleaseWe'll let you in on a little -- key word, "little" -- secret: more than a few of the employees at SWX and KHQ wish they were a little bit taller. Ahem, Michelle Dapper, Matt Rogers, Sean Owsley, we're looking at you. So feel free to lower that rim!
1. Four Guys Five ChinsThey almost went there, but they didn't. That's comedy, people.

A respected Boston pastor was beaten to death last month with a hammer – it's a sad and gruesome story that's made national headlines. Now, we're learning the man accused of his murder has ties to Southwest Florida.
"An older man like that, it's just, there's no reason for it," said Carlton Pierce, who remembers when the accused murderer was living across the street from him just a few years ago.
On his way home from fixing up his disabled daughter's home in Brockton, Massachusetts, 74-year-old Boston Pastor Lee Harmon was thrown off his bicycle. Eyewitnesses say Carlos Ramon Velazquez took Harmon's hammer and started beating him for no apparent reason.
Velazquez, who used to live in Port Charlotte, was arrested several times before by Charlotte County Deputies on charges including drug possession, larceny and, most recently, violating probation.
"He used to walk down and see this guy who's a druggie two houses down from here," Pierce said. "He'd stagger down the road, yeah, I remember him exactly."
Other neighbors, who didn't want to go on camera, say they would see Velazquez leave his house in the Parkside neighborhood in Port Charlotte and walk along the side of the street.
Although, they say he would not speak to anyone.
No one was home at the residence listed on his arrest reports on Starlite Lane. Neighbors say no one has lived there for a while.
Investigators in Massachusetts found Velazquez's DNA at the murder scene. A father of six murdered in cold blood – and investigators say they can't find a motive.
"That's insane," Pierce said. "That's absolutely insane. But, ya know, it doesn't really shock me."
Velazquez is being held without bond.

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter: @WWLTV
JEFFERSON PARISH, La. — Jefferson Parish President John Young says parish officials have with flooding and power outages for those inside the levee protection system as Tropical Storm Isaac makes its way through and then past the metropolitan area.
Additionally, they're worried about storm surge for those communities outside of the protection network.
"The projections are 15-20 inches of rain," Young said Tuesday morning. "If it happens over a period of time and the bands come through and allow us to catch up, that's the best case scenario."
Young said pumps were in working order and operators were at the ready, but that pumping couldn't begin until there was water that trickled down out of the neighborhoods into the canal.
"We have to get the water out of the neighborhoods and into the canals," Young said. "That's why we're not pumping the canals completely dry because the walls of the canal will cave in and we'll have bigger problems. So we have to keep the level of the canals at a certain level before we can begin that suction process."
But inland flooding isn't Young's only concern; he expects power outages to follow as Isaac makes its way through the area.
Young said power could be out anywhere from a 2-5 days. He did, however, say that Entergy's system has been strengthened in the past four year.
"Gustav was really not a rain event for us but it was lack of power," Young said. "It took out the transmission lines all the way from here to Baton Rouge. We were out of power for 7-10 days in some spots. Fortunately since then Entergy has fortified their power transmission grid."
Levee district crews had blocked off Airline Highway at the Jefferson Parish-St. Charles Parish border with HESCO baskets, sealing a gap in the protection system and leaving only River Road and Interstate-310 open as evacuation and re-entry routes.

GEORGETOWN, SC (WMBF) - Thursday was the first chance for people who lived and worked in the burned buildings to return and salvage what they could. For one man that was one piece of artwork left in his studio that will always have a special meaning.
That artist is John Witzel, who was supposed to have one of the best days of his career today.
"I had a lady coming to buy $20,000 worth of art today," said Witzel. "That's ten times the most I've ever sold."
Now Witzel is left with one fish painting that somehow made it through the fire virtually untouched.
Witzel lost his studio, home, and dog in the fire. The flames consumed his home in just a matter of minutes as Witzel tried to get out and save his neighbor and his dog, Jake, before the smoke grew to thick.
"We made it to the stairs and managed to get down the stairs but Jake didn't make it out," said Witzel. "So I went back upstairs to get Jake and couldn't make it halfway up the stairs."
Will Brawley's mother is the neighbor Witzel helped get out of the building.
"If it weren't for John here I don't know if our mom would still be with us," added Brawley. "I cried and I hugged him and I thanked him for saving my mom's life."
Brawley then agreed to buy the only piece of Witzel's art that survived the fire.
"When he came out and said it's the only thing I had left, so I sat there and thought how can I not buy this. It's a special thing," said Brawley.

Being part of the 49ers' offense these days is a little like the Johnsons trying to keep up with the wealthier Joneses. Everyone wants a bigger house, a larger flat-screen television, a second or third family car. For Alex Smith, Vernon Davis, Frank Gore and especially Michael Crabtree, one of the more coveted items is an intangible one: collective star status.
Love, affection, props. Everything the defense enjoys. The offense just wants a cut of those $2 steaks Jim Harbaugh was talking about the other night.
"I talked to the whole team this week, and I was like, 'We've just got to match that (defense) on offense,' " Crabtree revealed after Sunday's 27-19 victory over the Detroit Lions. " 'Get those first downs, get the chains moving and really try to keep our defense on the sideline.' I just told them what I had on my mind."
Crabtree must want it really badly, because throughout his brief but inconsistent and injury-plagued NFL career, he has been the 49ers' mostly silent star. He avoids attention the way he works at eluding safeties, linebackers and cornerbacks, which is to say, with great energy and enthusiasm.
But that, too, may be changing. Harbaugh's high-decibel in-your-face demeanor and we-are-family approach is as contagious as a toddler's sniffles. It's only two weeks into the 2012 season, but the offense is playing a very effective game of catch-up. It's becoming as nasty, united and attention-deserving as the punishing, nationally recognized defense.
Sunday evening alone: Davis was poked in the eye but returned to score his second touchdown. The 5-foot-9 Gore threw a bruising block that sprung Crabtree on a crucial third down. Smith took a hit to the face mask as he slid to escape contact, wiped off the blood streaming down his cheeks and orchestrated one of the most impressive fourth-quarter drives of his career.
And Crabtree. The enigmatic wideout didn't just talk a good game; he grabbed six passes for 67 yards, including three during the clinching drive and five for first downs. After muffing one early catch a bobble he later chided himself for he became Smith's favorite possession receiver, more of a sure, physical presence than an electrifying open-field threat.
"It's like a frog," Harbaugh described. "Tongue squirts out and catches the ball. It was frog-like, tongue-like the way he uses his hands. Nobody I'd rather have catching the ball than him."
Again, in his unique, edgy way, Harbaugh has a knack for knowing whom to cuddle and when to challenge. He has Smith believing he's a star. He frequently mentions the often-overlooked Gore. He smiles knowingly when asked about the ebullient Davis. He gives the defense constant props. And given an opportunity Monday to reinforce the oft-criticized Crabtree's development via the media, to praise the veteran's work habits and his improved conditioning, he wasted no time.
"He's a kind of guy who fixes things behind the scenes," Harbaugh added. "He's not for public consumption. And the way he plays You can tell he's about us, not one of those 'about himself' kind of guys.' "
If this continues, the diva's reputation will take a real dive. Contract holdouts, injuries, missed voluntary workouts. All suddenly are hidden away in the 49ers' family clips. Now, that doesn't mean Crabtree is prepared to grab the microphone, rally his troops and become a frequent team spokesman. While volunteering details late Sunday about his address to the team two days earlier, his eyes were shielded by dark, oversize shades, and he seemed eager to leave.
Yet as he walked outside Candlestick Park a few minutes later, he paused long enough to reiterate his lofty plans for the offense and his ongoing desire to become a better player.
And is he? Becoming a better player?
"I don't know, man," he replied with a grin. "What do you think?"

Essex: Is the traditional accent dying out?
4:00pm Monday 14th January 2013 in Countywide news
The traditional Essex accent is dying out and could soon be consigned to history.
For many who might associate an Essex accent with so-called Estuary English or even scenes from The Only Way is Essex television show, hearing the traditional Essex accent may come as quite a shock.
Recordings from the Essex sound archive show it was instead much more rural sounding and similar to those in Norfolk and Suffolk.
Sound and video archivist Martin Astell, who is based at the Essex Records Office in Chelmsford, spent hundreds of hours compiling a cd of Essex accents dating from the early 20th century.
The earliest recording dates back to 1906 and the cd features almost 150 people from across the entire county, who would have been born in the late 19th or early 20th century.
Some are also singing songs and ballads such as Mr Cutmore of Halstead who was recorded signing A Little Bit of Cucumber in the 1960s as an audio Christmas greeting.

There has always been a clear divide in accent between the East London fringes and "real" Essex, even before the borders chnaged in the 60's. If it is joined on to the built-up area of London, then people speak like London, and the rest of Essex is different. The exception is possibly the A13/A127 corridor as Thurrock and Basildon are basically overflow from East London anyway.

I have nothing against the London accent because it is from a certain area in England, what the kids speak today just sounds so ridiculous.
TOWIE...the sooner that's off the telly the better. Unfortunately the TV Companies can't wait to make another programme that just ridicules the poor Essex People.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The Saranac baseball team dropped a close game to Watertown and was then blanked by host Waccamaw the first two days at the Mingo Bay Tournament.
Watertown scored an unearned run in the bottom of the eighth inning for a 6-5 victory Tuesday, while Waccamaw recorded a 10-0 win in six innings Wednesday. The Chiefs' game on Thursday was rained out.
High School Sports Magazine
Against Watertown, Caleb Keysor and Andrew Tedford rapped out two hits each, with Keysor getting a triple.
Saranac outhit Watertown 9-7 but hurt itself with six errors.
Nate Stanton, who pitched well in relief, ended up taking the loss.
"It was our first day outside, and it showed," Saranac coach Frank Trudeau said. "We needed to show more confidence defensively because five of their six runs were unearned.
"Our pitchers threw the ball well, especially Stanton, who pitched 5.1 innings in relief. We outhit them but left 11 runners on base."
The following day, Waccamaw held a 3-0 lead after three before breaking it open in the middle innings.
Justin Colgrove struck out four in going the distance for the pitching win, allowing only an infield single to the Chiefs' Jake Griffin.
"We played a little better defensively in this game, but overcoming 10 walks was tough," Trudeau said. "They also made some good defensive plays. It was their 17th game of the season."
Saranac will play today against St. Albans, West Virginia.

text: In a rare area appearance, PhillyÆs own saxophone legend Sonny Fortune played a double bill at Chris JazzÆ Cafķ, 1421 Sansom St. in Philadelphia. With a large contingent of family and friends on hand, Fortune did not disappoint, delivering a 75-minute set of jazz standards and originals. Backed by a sizzling hot band that consisted of Michael Cochrane (piano), Lee Smith (bass) and Steve Johns (drums), Fortune opened the set with a flawless interpretation of the Wayne Shorter song ōFootprints,ö featuring Fortune on clarinet and Johns playing a dueling solo. Paying tribute to Shorter, Fortune included one of his own original compositions entitled ōWaynish,ö with Fortune and Smith taking turns soloing. Freddie HubbardÆs ōLittle Sunflowerö found Fortune displaying his mastery of the flute, accented by another captivating bass solo by Smith. Fortune closed out the show with a uniquely original presentation of the Duke EllingtonÆs classic ōCaravan.ö Opening with an extended drum solo, the song had a Bohemian feel to it, with Fortune playing an energized marathon saxophone solo. Throughout the evening FortuneÆs efforts were heartily acknowledged. Thunderous applause ended the set with a standing ovation for a job well done by one of the best horn players in jazz. Fortune will return to ChrisÆ in the fall.
