Chester's Ninth Inning Grand Slam Leads Eagles to 11-9 Victory over FIU
MIAMI, Fla. – Josh Chester's grand slam in the ninth inning led the Eagles to an 11-9 victory over the Golden Panthers, Wednesday night at University Park.
The Eagles improve to 18-14 overall, while FIU falls to 19-10.
The Eagles put up the first two runs of the game in the top of the third on back-to-back RBI singles by Mikel Alvarez (West Palm Beach, Fla.) and Tim Roberson (West Palm Beach, Fla.).
FIU tied the game in the bottom of the fourth on a two-run home run by Tim Jobe.
FIU would take its first lead of the game, scoring two in the bottom of the fifth. Junior Arrojo led off the inning with a single and then stole second, advanced to third on an error and scored on a groundout by Ryan Mollica. Tyler Townsend homered with two out to give FIU the 4-2 lead.
FIU would get two more in the sixth, after a leadoff single followed by a RBI triple and an Eagle error.
Trailing 4-2 in the top of the sixth, Zach Maxfield (North Port, Fla.) brought the Eagles within one on a leadoff home run to left field. With runners on first and third with two out, Joe Guarnaccia (Davie, Fla.) homered down the left field line to put the Eagles up 6-4.
FIU would quickly answer with two in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game at six.
Another Townsend home run gave FIU the lead in the bottom of the seventh, 8-6.
Trailing for the second time in the game, the Eagles first three batters would reach base followed by an Eagle strike out. With one out and the bases loaded, Brad Roberts (Tampa, Fla.) singled to center to score Alvarez. With the bases still loaded, Josh Chester saw 10 pitches to bring the count full before sending pitch No.11 over the right field wall to put the Eagles up 11-8.
Greg Waddell led off the bottom of a ninth with a solo home run to left field, making it an 11-9 ballgame, but that would be the last FIU run.
FGCU starter Craig Crumbly (Winter Haven, Fla.) threw three full innings, allowed only one hit, and recorded one strike out in the no decision.
Jason Forjet (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) earned his first win of the season; Forjet threw three full innings, allowed one run on two hits, and struck out two.
Offensively, four Eagles recorded multiple hits. Roberson went 3-for-5 with a run scored and one RBI, Roberts went 3-for-5 with a run scored and one RBI, Chester went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and four RBI and Guaranccia went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBI.
The Eagles will be back in action next week, April 14th as they host UCF at Swanson Stadium at 6:00 p.m., then travel to Orlando, Fla. on Wednesday April 15th to face UCF at 6:30 p.m.

Why Does the Water Change Color?
Many sellers
of ionic detox foot
bath systems have
misinformed their
customers that the
colors they see
in the water are
toxins that have
exited the body.
This is mostly false.
During the session,
the water in the
basin will always
change to a brown/
orange color due
to the electrolytic
reaction involving
the array, salt,
water, minerals
and impurities in
the water. But when feet are in the water, the colors are
also affected by oils being released from the sebaceous
glands, the dead skin cells and the user's own acidity/
alkalinity. Some of the neutralized toxins will also exit
the body back out through the pores of the feet due to
osmosis. An unusual amount of a particular color may
indicate that a person has accumulated toxins in certain
areas or from certain conditions and that ionic detox is
helping those areas.
Always remember that the presence of negative
ions in the body mainly helps the body rid itself of toxins
through its normal processes of urination, defecation and
sweating. Only some toxins leave the body through the
pores of the feet. Therefore, color changes in the water
should not be the main focus. Instead, focus on how you feel. For additional proof regarding overall health
improvements from ionic detox, free radical test kits may
be utilized.

Each season since current Armstrong-Potomac girls basketball coach Nick Hipsher has been at the helm, the Trojans have made progress. Most notably, they've made progress in what many in the area consider the ultimate stage for bragging rights — the Vermilion County Tournament.
Battling with them year after year, and often standing in there way, has been the Bismarck-Henning Blue Devils, who entered this year's tournament boasting five consecutive titles. But after defeating the Blue Devils 31-27 on Monday, the Trojans put themselves in position to play for this year's title, and potentially ruined the Blue Devils' chances of a sixth straight title.
"This was one of our goals at the beginning of the season," Hipsher said. "Our seniors, we got fourth two years ago, third last year, and we really wanted to compete for a championship this year. We're one step away from getting to that game, so that's what we're really focusing on."
Bismarck-Henning, which had won 16 straight Vermilion County Tournament games, is still holding onto the possibility of making it to the title game as this year's tournament is being played in a pool format. But barring an upset against Salt Fork on Wednesday, Armstrong-Potomac put itself in position to fulfill its goals.
The word upset still lingers in the minds of the Trojans, though, as this season has been as unpredictable as any.
"It is a reward (for this year's improvement), but everybody (knows) it's anybody's ballgame," Armstrong-Potomac senior guard Kirsten Newnum said. "It's just crazy because we've had so many upsets this season (in the conference). You never know what's going to happen."
Though the Trojans (13-7 overall) might have been favored over the Blue Devils (7-15) with respect to season records and seeds, they held off Bismarck-Henning in what had the makings of becoming an impressive comeback. Armstrong-Potomac led by as many as nine throughout the contest.
Newnum scored the Trojans' first four points of the game on the team's first two shot attempts, and after hoisting her third shot attempt in the second quarter, Armstrong-Potomac held a comfortable 14-5 lead.
Newnum finished the game sharing game-high honors in points with teammate Erika Sieberns at 10 each, and felt the need to step up with the absence of Rachel Miles who is out with an injury. Miles is the team's leading second-leading scorer and leading rebounder.
Newnum had scored a combined seven points in her previous three games, making her performance on Monday all-the-more impressive as she saw limited playing time. Through three quarters (24 minutes of game time), the starter saw only eight minutes, 10 seconds of game action because of complications from asthma.
"I think she got knocked in the chest when she took that charge," Hipsher said. "It kind of knocked the wind out of her.
"That's what you expect from seniors," he continued, speaking of her effort. "We knew that they were going to play off of her a little bit. They did the first time. We told her she was going to have open shots, and she knocked them down. That's a senior leader right there."
Newnum also accounted for five of the Trojans' 11 steals, but it was the defense of the Blue Devils that helped them rebound from a seemingly insurmountable deficit.
Bismarck-Henning outscored Armstrong-Potomac 11-2 in the first 5:33 of the fourth quarter, and tied the game at 27-27 after trailing for the entire contest.
"We don't consider ourselves a full-court pressing team, honestly, but we were left with no choice," Bismarck-Henning coach Mike Stephens said. "I thought prior to us starting to pick up full, (Lindsay) Andrews' energy and a couple of buckets by her just absolutely got us off our knees a little bit and back into things. Once we went full, first it was (Maddie) Winkler, and then Winkler and (Lexi) Ballard just really knocking stuff loose. That's just not wanting to lose. Some kids never have that. We're fortunate that we've got a group of kids that don't want to lose."
Ballard scored all four of her points in the fourth quarter following turnovers, and the duo each had three steals.
But after realizing the game was slipping from its grasp, Armstrong-Potomac held Bismarck-Henning scoreless for the final 2:27, and scored the game's final four points on a rebound basket by Sieberns, and a pair of free throws from Newnum.
"I think we just let up and were like, 'Ok, we've got a lead,'" Newnum said. "We just let up a little bit and then we realized, you can't let up. You've got to keep going so we can keep winning."
Jessica Hall had a team-high eight points and eight rebounds for Bismarck-Henning, while Andrews scored six and had nine boards.
The Blue Devils will await the results of Wednesday's games to see who their next opponent will be. In the meantime, the Trojans will take on Salt Fork on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. A win will advance them to this year's championship.
"It feels really, really good, especially because last year we had an upset game and we lost," Newnum said. "It feels good. We got the bye, so we got to relax when the other teams didn't get to. We've got this game out of the way, so now there's just one more and we're there."

Owen Daniels is a pretty good NFL tight end. He catches a lot of balls, runs good routes, blocks, and is all around a pretty good dude it seems like. But his touchdown celebration could use a little work.
It's unfocused and ADD. C'mon Owen, the key to a successful end-zone fiesta is one note, executed properly, with style and panache.
This is not it.
Look, if Daniels wants to cook, that's fine. And if he wants to turn a giant valve, that's even better. I actually think if he just dropped the ball, stood there for a second and turned a big wheel a few times, I'd be smitten.
But to add the cooking dance, even adapted as he did, that's just too much. We're really not sure what we're looking at here. Matt Schaub, let's get Mr. Daniels back in the endzone so he can learn the error of his ways.

Manhunt ends
GRAPEVINE — After an intensive four-day manhunt, fugitive Alberto Morales was shot and killed by three officers near Grapevine Lake late Friday night, according to Grapevine police.
"I'm just so elated," said neighborhood resident Martha Eberlein. "I'm so happy; I'm so relieved that this man's been caught and we don't have to be on such a lookout."
The beginning of the end for Morales came less than three miles north of the Walmart parking lot where he made his violent escape Monday night.
Police got a 911 call from Teresa Parker, who returned to her home in the 2100 block of Forest Hills Road to find a bedroom light on. She knew something was up; her husband's clothing and her jewelry were missing.
The task force grew suspicious with the theft of clothing, and refocused its search for Morales near Parker's residence.
Morales was eventually found just before midnight in a wooded area about 100 yards from the Lake Forest Boat Club with the help of the Fort Worth police helicopter.
A Grapevine police officer and two members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force surrounded him, but Morales did not follow orders.
"When the officers told him to get on the ground, he lunged at the officers, and they subsequently shot him, fearing for their safety," said Grapevine police spokesman Sgt. Robert Eberling. "We're really relieved for the citizens of this community. We knew we had a dangerous individual out there on the streets, and he was capable of being extremely violent."
Grapevine police confirmed that the fugitive was found without any shackles that had been in place when he escaped. He was still wearing a the hooded prison-issued sweatshirt when found, Eberling said. Morales, 42, was unarmed when he was shot, but he was holding some sticks.
"He was very skilled and crafty as far as making makeshift edged weapons inside the prison," Eberling said. "That was in the forethoughts of the officers. He was able to almost kill an officer with some eyeglasses."
"I'm elated for the community," Parker said. "It's a good thing nobody got hurt."
"I feel nervous and anxious, but I feel grateful for our police officers," added neighbor Darlene Freed.
Morales — considered armed and extremely dangerous — had been at large after stabbing Miami-Dade County Detective Jamie Pardinas with a pair of eyeglasses Monday night as he was in transit to Las Vegas for a trial.
Pardinas has just been released from treatment at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas and was said to be resting comfortably at an area hotel, where he is likely to remain for several more days until travel restrictions are lifted.
The violent escape happened in the parking lot of a Walmart store at the corner of Highway 26 and Highway 114 in Grapevine, about 2.6 miles south of where Morales was gunned down.
For days, fear and anxiety grew in Grapevine and surrounding cities after Morales eluded capture. Schools even went on lockdown multiple days this week as a precaution.
Neighbors told News 8 on Facebook and Twitter that they could hear gunshots late Friday night when police finally cornered Morales. One person said the fleeing felon was felled in a horse pasture near some boat houses at Lake Grapevine.
"We are somewhat surprised — especially with the weather, the terrain — that someone was able to remain hidden for so long," Eberling said. "He obviously wasn't familiar with the area ... he felt more safe to be in a wooded area than trying to find shelter somewhere else or travel to another city."
The Miami-Dade County Police Department also confirmed to News 8 that Morales had been killed. Its officer is still recovering at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, but he was expected to be released soon and make a full recovery.
The body was taken to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's office as several dozen officers gathered evidence at the scene.
The Grapevine officer who was involved in the shooting was placed on routine administrative leave pending the outcome of the shooting investigation.
"I'm just glad it's over," Grapevine resident Elmer Simendinger said. "I think we're all relieved."

Actor Jim Carrey made an appearance in Buckhead on Saturday.
Customers who purchased his book, How Roland Rolls, got a wristband starting at 9 a.m. Saturday morning for the signing.
The comedian, who is in Atlanta filming Dumb and Dumber To, met fans and read his new book at Barnes and Noble on Peachtree Road NE.
How Roland Rolls is a story about a wave named Roland who's afraid that when he hits the beach, his life will be over. But when he gets deep, he's struck by the notion that he's not just a wave — he's the whole big, wide ocean.
Carrey said he came up with the story while he was in Malibu watching the waves crash.
He was extremely exited to read the book and see such a large turnout.
The actor has been very busy filming Dumb and Dumber To over the past few weeks. Carrey said he is taking advantage of the great restaurants that Atlanta offers.
"I'm enjoying the food here. Way too much," said Carrey. "I have rules and they have all been broken."
So far, his favorite spot to eat was Bacchanalia on Howell Mill Road.

Hampshire wind powered sea park plan taken to people
Updated 9:40am Friday 1st February 2013 in New Forest
THE firm behind the controversial wind farm planned off the Hampshire coast has launched a new bid to gain public support for the £3 billion scheme.
A series of public events got under way across the south yesterday where a new visual video display gave an insight into what the windfarm would look like from the south coast.
The roadshow comes to Hampshire starting in New Milton next Thursday.
Further exhibitions will be held on Lymington on Friday, February 8, and Cowes on Saturday February 9.
Navitus Bay Development Limited (NBDL) last year came under fire for its images lacking detail during its previous consultations on the wind farm, which is nine miles from Barton on Sea.
Opponents accused the firm of presenting the lower end of how many turbines were being planned.
Now Navitus says the new interactive model, which uses Ordnance Survey maps combined with photography, will allow people to view the proposed farm from anywhere between Lymington and Barton on Sea and see different numbers and heights of turbines.
However, opposition group Challenge Navitus is continuing to question the pictures that NBDL has produced in the wake of scaling back its plans before Christmas.
The third round of public exhibitions visits Bournemouth tomorrow before touring the area over the next fortnight.
Challenge Navitus says the NBDL visualisations are based on industry best practice, which is currently under review.
It says it has changed its own images as a result.
NBDL project director Mike Unsworth said it had to stick with the industry standards, but would adapt imagery if they changed.
He added: "We have carefully listened to what the local community have said during previous phases of consultation and have gone the extra mile to help people really understand what the potential visual impact of the wind park could be."
Challenge Navitus has produced new videos on its website of what it says the wind park will look like.
It follows the changes to the scheme, which saw the park moved further out to sea and reduced the maximum number of turbines to 218 from 333, which Challenge Navitus described as 'minor'.
Dr Andrew Langley, a scientist in mathematical modelling, who computed the latest visualisations and is a founder of Challenge Navitus, said: "The changes did little to reduce the visual impact of this scheme.
"Early on we realised that NBDL's panoramas of the wind farm did not give a realistic impression to many people, even though their format followed the industry's current 'best practice'."
Mr Unsworth said: "The main difference basically is because of us having to follow the strict guidance, the perspective of the images that we present are much wider to give an indication of what the human eye will see.
"The images that Challenge Navitus have presented are a narrower perspective."
Challenge Navitus has immediately incorporated the research into its new images, said Dr Langley, and said that NBDL could do the same.
He added: "The key difference is that the scale of the images is around 60 per cent bigger than the current guidance would give, and this has a dramatic effect on the perception of scale."
The consultation meetings are in New Milton Community Centre in Osborne Road on Thursday, February 7, from 2-8pm, Lymington Comm-unity Centre on Friday, February 8, 2-8pm and in Cowes Yacht Haven, Vectis Yard, High Street, on Saturday February 9, from 10am-4pm.

I'm no futurologist but I'll say with confidence.. don't give up on Wind Turbine and Solar panel efficiency the best is yet to come.
SCHENECTADY, N.Y.—January 31, 2013—.
Today, GE announced the 2.5-120, the world's most efficient high-output and the first brilliant wind turbine. THE 2.5-120 IS THE FIRST WIND TURBINE TO BRING TOGETHER WORLD-CLASS EFFICIENCY AND POWER OUTPUT AT LOW WIND SPEED SITES, CAPTURING A 25 PERCENT INCREASE IN EFFICIENCY AND A 15 PERCENT INCREASE IN POWER OUTPUT COMPARED TO GE'S CURRENT MODEL.
The turbine's high efficiency and high output unlock higher returns for wind farm operators at low wind speed sites. The turbine's advanced controls enable its 120-meter rotor, resulting in increased energy capture and greater power output in low-wind areas. The taller tower, which has a maximum hub height of 139 meters, makes it ideal for heavily forested regions in places like Europe and Canada.
"Our 2.5-120 is the first wind turbine that utilizes the Industrial Internet to help manage the intermittency of wind, providing smooth, predictable power to the world regardless of what Mother Nature throws its way," said Vic Abate, vice president of GE's renewable energy business. "Analyzing tens of thousands of data points every second, the 2.5-120 integrates energy storage and advanced forecasting algorithms while communicating seamlessly with neighboring turbines, service technicians and customers." advanced technology drives higher wind farm output than GE's current offerings, improves services productivity and creates new revenue streams for customers.

An investigation into the collapse of the first turbine in Bradworthy, Devon, during a 50mph gale last weekend has revealed that BOLTS ARE MISSING FROM ITS BASE.
The turbine was initially thought to have been brought down by the wind, despite being designed to withstand winds of up to 116mph, but the new evidence could suggest a case of foul play, councillors said.

I've met Jason and I like what I see so far. The comments above lead me to believe that he understands that not every student is headed to college. I hope we start to see more of the shop classes return to our schools, when and if we can find the money to do so. Possibly looking to the private sector for sponsorships to fund a program maybe a way of doing this. Back to Jason. He seems to be trying hard to connect with his students, teachers and parents. Example, he shows up on a Saturday in Novato to support his Foothill Football teams. Keep up the good work Jason.

Can you spot the five guys NOT in the Hall of Fame? It's easy, I separated 'em for ya. :) Here's the full post about guys elected to the Hall of Fame primarily for their defense. Guys like Brooks Robinson, Ozzie Smith, Bobby Wallace, John Ward, and Bid McPhee stand up as definite HOFers, with many others worthy of debate (and a couple aren't worth any debate at all). I almost made it through the whole post without comparing some HOFers to our friends Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Bobby Grich, Alan Trammell, and Ron Santo. Almost.
My very first FanShot... wanted to see how this looked. Turns out (as anticipated), there's love for Raines and Trammell and a big fat "meh" for Jim Rice. Gotta love the holistic view of performance WAR affords.

By Maureen Hayden CNHI Statehouse Bureau
---- — INDIANAPOLIS — Lawmakers slid into the opening day of the 2014 session — some literally — as a polar freeze held its brutal grip on much of the state Tuesday.
The House and Senate barely made the numbers needed to conduct business for an opening that already had been postponed a day, with many legislators still struggling to navigate snow-packed roads made worse by sub-zero temperatures. Their business was brief — just long enough for leaders to formally hand down some bills scheduled for committee hearings this week.
The House hit its quorum of 67 members, out of 100. The Senate also got a late start Tuesday, delayed more than an hour by lawmakers who'd underestimated travel time on highways that remained treacherous following near-record snow on Sunday.
"I know it was a job for you to get here," House Speaker Brian Bosma told members who'd arrived on time, many of them clad in snow boots and multiple layers of clothes.
It was bigger job for some more than others.
State Rep. Steve Stemler (D-Jeffersonville) left home in southwest Indiana Monday evening then crept along Interstate 65 at about 20 mph before he was stymied by a state police shutdown of a major portion of the highway covered in ice and drifting snow.
"It was just littered with cars that had slid off the road," Stemler said. "I've got pictures on my cell phone of jackknifed semis up and down the highway. The state police were out there doing an incredible job rescuing people."
Stemler felt fortunate. On Tuesday morning, when he was leaving his Indianapolis hotel to head to the Statehouse, he ran into some Kansas City Chiefs fans who'd been stuck in the city since seeing their team lose to the Colts on Saturday. Hundreds of flights had been cancelled or delayed at the Indianapolis airport.
"They seemed okay, given what the Colts did to the Chiefs," Stemler said.
Other lawmakers arrived early. State Sen. Ron Grooms, also of Jeffersonville, left his house Saturday after hearing the winter storm warnings.
"It was 54 degrees when I left home," Grooms said. "By the time I got to Columbus (an hour north) it was snowing."
Many lawmakers who didn't make Tuesday's opening are from northwest Indiana, an area hit by a triple-whammy — a 14-inch snowfall Sunday, a plunge to sub-zero temperatures Monday, with more snow forecast today.
While the wild weather delayed legislators, it didn't deter opponents of one the hottest issues to come — an amendment banning same-sex marriage.
Staff and volunteers with Freedom Indiana, a coalition of amendment opponents, delivered 6,000 letters to the General Assembly's mailroom Tuesday, asking lawmakers to vote against the measure that would lock in the current ban on same-sex marriage into the state constitution. Lawmakers may vote early in the session.
Leaders of the Republican-controlled Statehouse have expressed support for the amendment. But Freedom Indiana spokeswoman Megan Robertson — a former GOP campaign manager — said lawmakers are persuadable.
"My experience with legislators is that they want to be good representatives of their constituents," she said. "So if their constituents reach out to them, they're going to listen to them."

A day-long barbecue raised more than $100,000 for the families of two Phoenix first-responders killed in the line of duty last weekend.
"We are all deeply moved by the outpouring of support from the community," said Joe Clure, president of the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association. "The people of Phoenix have our back and knowing that means everything."
Funeral services for Phoenix Firefighter Brad Harper and police Officer Daryl Raetz were scheduled for Friday and Saturday, respectively.
[Related: Funeral services for fallen firefighter Harper, PD officer Raetz]
Harper was crushed by two fire vehicles while fighting a mulch fire on Saturday. Raetz was struck and killed by a passing motorist while he was assisting in a DUI investigation early Sunday morning.
The barbecue on Wednesday was organized by community leaders, including Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, in cooperation with the Phoenix police and firefighter unions.
"To surround these families with support is what's needed right now," said Pete Gorraiz, president of the United Phoenix Firefighters. "This benefit did that and we thank the people of Phoenix from the bottom of our hearts."
The fund-raising event at the Sheraton Crescent at Interstate 17 and Dunlap Road lasted more than 12 hours to include police officers and firefighters working every shift.
"The people of Phoenix know that every day when first-responders say goodbye to their families they're putting themselves in harm's way for us," said Ann Malone, former co-chair of Citizens for Phoenix, the city's umbrella organization of neighborhood groups and one of the event coordinators. "There's no question, we have to be there for those grieving now and our hearts go out to them."

Newport blind man's guide dog may be taken from him
Updated 9:58am Thursday 30th January 2014 in News
A NEWPORT man is refusing to move from his current home in the city despite facing the threat of losing his guide dog for safety reasons.
Granville Vaughan's guide dog Bowden (Bow), a black Labrador, has been attacked by loose dogs in Lliswerry where he lives, and nearly died after swallowing discarded broken glass.
In 2011 Mr Vaughan had to give up his previous black Labrador guide dog Nadia, after she was attacked and stopped working properly.
Recent incidents have led Guide Dogs UK to ask Mr Vaughan, completely blind due to a hereditary eye disease, to move for his and the dog's safety. He has been told Bow cannot remain with him unless he moves.
Mr Vaughan has lived much of his life in Lliswerry, and is a vociferous campaigner on dangerous dogs.
He said: "I'm being told I have to move somewhere I'm not familiar with and where I don't know anyone, because other people can't control their dogs and chuck litter around. They (Guide Dogs UK) are talking about helping me get a place in St Julians. It's not far away, but I don't know the area or people.
"I'm being penalised. It's time politicians got to grips with dangerous dogs running around loose, attacking people and other dogs. Some owners don't give a damn and blind and sightless people and their dogs are more at risk.
"Until tough decisions taken about dangerous breeds and punishments for irresponsible owners, nothing will change. It broke my heart about Nadia and it took a long time to get Bow. I can get around with my cane, but it's easier with a dog. Nadia and Bow have been my eyes.
"I'm determined I'm not moving. Why should I? I've done nothing wrong."
A Guide Dogs UK spokesman said the organisation has a duty of care to protect guide dogs from harm.
She said: "After Bow survived eating glass, we are concerned that were he to eat any other dangerous materials in the future, he may not be so lucky. We understand losing his guide dog would be very tough for Mr Vaughan.
"Guide dogs are life-changing for their owners, so to be parted from one can be difficult. In circumstances such as these, we assess our service users' needs individually to see if there are other ways we can help them to get out and about on their own terms, and we'll be supporting Mr Vaughan."

why arent the police doing something about all these dogs. it does make me laugh how the unemployed despite moaning about the bedroom tax and claiming to need a food bank can find money to keep these staffis
At no point were Staffs mentioned, and neither were unemployed people. And not all Staffs are owned by unemployed people, you really do need to get out of your cave more and stop wasting your time online posting your sad propaganda. How many times did you have to relog to vote yourself up? oh thats right, most unemployed people are not online to defend themselves, read your tripe and vote against it.
Back to the story, the local authority are paid to deal with keeping the streets clean and also free from roaming dogs, so it appears this is another time where Newport City Council has failed in its duties.
The gentlemen concerned should not be forced to move home, and should not have to manage without his Dog, although I do understand why Guide Dogs UK have acted as they have, Dogs welfare is important.
Shame that his neighbours do not assist more, but then when we live in a state where people constantly blame the POOR, for everything that goes wrong, Im not surprised that nobody wants to assist. Lets hope NCC chiefs see this and act appropriately.

And once again it's all Newport City Council's fault??!! Rubbish. How about society in general and specifically the local community take some responsibility for the tragic state of affairs? NCC can only work within the parameters set by the UK Government - maybe we need to re-introduce pet licences again? As a responsible owner of 2 dogs I would gladly pay a nominal fee if it deters idiots from owning dogs when they have no idea how to look after them. And as for NCC being responsible for picking up loose dogs - you're right, but you may find this next point hard to believe: dogs 'move' and 'run' around, so I would imagine that by the time one member of the public has bothered to report the animal the wardens are unable to track it down.
I'm sick of people talking about the potential dangers of dogs and dogs not being allowed to go here and can't be let off the lead there - let's discuss the nuisance of cats, and how their numbers are multiplying because of people who want a pet but can't be bothered to look after them. Oh, and how they are considered to be 'free spirits' and therefore nothing can be done about them using your garden as a toilet. My dogs are free spirits too, but I still have to pick up their cr@p.

Oakley Scores Two Podium Spots at TAC 2010
In one of the most heated slopestyle contests of the year, Norway's two homegrown talents Torstein Horgmo and Mikkel Bang took second and third at the 2010 Oakley Arctic Challenge. The day started off slowly as the milky skies of Oslo began to open up as the crowd poured into the arena.
With only the ten best remaining riders competing in the finals, the stage was set for a showdown of the best slopestyle artists in the world. The flat light made things difficult for some of the riders, but the young Canadian Mark McMorris was the first to throw down a solid run, which included two double corks. But he was soon pushed down the ladder as local boy and Oakley rider Mikkel Bang threw down an insane run to steal the Viking throne.
However that would only be a short lived time on the throne as fellow countryman Torstein Horgmo would put together a classic slopestyle run to take the lead.
The founder and snowboarding legend, Terje Haakonsen had this to say about Horgmo's run. "With Torstein, everyone knows his slopestyle riding is solid and good. He got some flat light in the final but he pulled it together on his last run. It's always good to see a local up there."
With only one rider remaining to dethrone the local boy was Peetu Piiroinen, and he dropped the hammer, putting together the most technical run of the contest and earning not only the TAC crown, but also the TTR World Title.
Many congrats to Peetu, as it was a well deserved and win and a great to cap off an incredible season for the Fin.

Bulaga's injury hurts Packers big-time
Of all the Packers' season-ending injuries so far this season, the latest one suffered by ORT Bryan Bulaga is considered the most devastating.
Injuries taking toll on Packers' O-line
If the Packers are to remain perfect in the standings, it appears they will have to do so with a far-from-perfect situation on their offensive line.
Packers sign OL Smith, put OL Newhouse on I.R.
The Packers announced Friday morning that they have signed C-OG Evan Dietrich-Smith and placed OG-OT Marshall Newhouse on injured reserve.
Bills trade RB Lynch to Seahawks
The Bills have agreed to trade RB Marshawn Lynch to the Seahawks for a 2011 fourth-round draft choice and a conditional choice in 2012, according to Fox Sports. To make room for Lynch, Seattle released veteran RB Julius Jones.
Dietrich-Smith is expected to make his first NFL start on Sunday.||||||| Coach Mike McCarthy has decided to take Jeff Saturday, a 14-year veteran in his first season with the Packers, out of the starting lineup at center and replace him with Dietrich-Smith with two games left in the regular season. Dietrich-Smith, 26, a third-year player, is 11 years younger than Saturday and has started only seven games as a pro. This would be Dietrich-Smith's first NFL start at center.

Editor's Note: The following guest column comes from Mark Purdy, owner of Blackstone Manor Clock Repair on Hopkins' Mainstreet and Eden Prairie resident.
As an owner of a small business in Hopkins, I have an opinion about the effects the Southwest Light Rail Transit project (SWLRT) will have or not have on my business and other Hopkins businesses.
The SWLRT is being sold as a good thing for all the citizens and the businesses along the proposed route.
So far I have not seen anything that encourages me and my business to look forward to this plan. IF riders get on the train at the far west end and ride the train to work in downtown Minneapolis, what makes anyone think they will get off the train to make a stop to shop? They will not be bringing their shirts to drop off at the cleaners. They will not be bringing their shoes to drop off at the shoe repair shop. They will not be bringing their clock or watch to drop off to get repaired or a battery changed. They will not be stopping for breakfast.
Today when these same people drive to work, this does happen in Hopkins every day.
I still remember Mayor Belton of Minneapolis telling all of us that when The Hiawatha line is running, people will be able to stop at the Cabooze and Whiskey Junction and all the other mom and pop restaurants and shops. They can ride the train all the way to The Mall of America and shop. This will be such a great thing for ALL the business along this line. Did any of this happen? What did happen has not been good for the mom and pop businesses along the route.
Every time I hear someone talking about the Hiawatha line, it is complaining about the traffic congestion caused by the light rail.
We all know mass transit never pays for itself. But neither do all the highways and byways of the U.S. But the roads do allow ALL of us to get around and shop as it fits into our schedule. The train does NOT allow the ridership to spend their money along the way to and from work and home.
My questions is: IS the SWLRT worth the large subsidies it will require for eternity?

Many people begin running because they want to lose weight. As one of the most vigorous exercises out there, running is an extremely efficient way to burn calories and drop pounds. A 150-pound person will burn approximately 100 calories per mile when running. If you're hoping to use running to lose weight, here's some advice on how to be successful.
1. Healthy Eating is the First Step
If you want to lose weight by running, keep in mind that you'll only shed pounds if you burn more calories than you consume. To lose a pound, you have to burn, through exercise or life functions, about 3500 calories. So you'll need to combine running with a healthy diet. Runners do have special nutrition needs, but the basic principles for healthy eating still apply. Try choosing smaller portions of high-fat and high-calorie foods and eating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
One common eating mistake among runners is that they overcompensate for the calories burned by exercise with extra calories from more food and beverages. Some runners even find that they gain weight or hit a weight loss wall, despite their regular training.
One way to prevent "stealth calorie" consumption or mindless eating is to write everything you're eating in a journal for a few weeks. Seeing a record of your food intake will help you see where your diet needs improvement. It will also keep you on track because you'll think twice before putting that chocolate-covered donut in your mouth.

2. Follow a training schedule.
Sticking to a training schedule is a simple way to stay motivated to run. You'll know exactly what you need to do every day and each run builds on the next, so it's much harder to postpone or skip workouts. Following a schedule can also help you avoid a running injury by not increasing your mileage too quickly. If you're new to running, here are beginner training schedules to check out:
4 Weeks to Run One Mile - for those brand-new to running.
3 Weeks to a 30-Minute Running Habit - for beginners who can run for a minute.
4 Weeks to Run Two Miles - for beginners who can run at least a half mile.
5K Run/Walk Training Schedule - for beginners who can run for 5 minutes at a time.
5K Beginner Runner Training Schedule - for beginners who can run at least one mile.
More Training Schedules- if none of the above schedules work for you.
3. Run Regularly
If you don't want to follow a schedule, you still need to have some consistency with your running because you won't lose weight by running once a week. It's best to get some activity every day but, if that's not possible, try to shoot for at least 3-4 times per week. If you find that your motivation to run is suffering, follow these tips to get inspired.

4. Keep it Challenging
Incorporating speed work or interval training (running at a very fast speed for short intervals of time) into your running routine can also help your weight loss efforts. Speed work burns a great amount of calories in a short period of time. You'll also increase your muscle mass and improve your resting metabolism, causing you to burn more calories throughout the day.

5. Eat for Performance
If you're running regularly and you're training for a long-distance event, proper nutrition is especially critical for your performance. Skipping meals doesn't allow you to train with adequately fueled muscles. You shouldn't skimp on calories before, during (when necessary), and immediately after your very intense and long workouts. These are crucial times when nutrition is important to performance and recovery.

Dossier 19: Contemporary Islamisms and Feminisms in Egypt
Islamisms, or diverse representations of political Islam, have become very difficult to ignore and even more difficult to categorize and explain satisfactorily. This is particularly the case when addressing a western audience, which is unfamiliar not only with the multifaceted aspects of Islam, but also with the crucial role Islamic faith plays, in the everyday lives of Muslim people.
Willy Claes, the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), gave Western misperceptions and misrepresentations of Islam and Islamisms a new twist.
Dossier 18: SOS Algeria - Women's Human Rights Under Siege
The current violence in Algeria is both tragic and deeply alarming in its scope and intensity to all observers, but it is especially heartbreaking for those who have followed the country's history for the last 40 years. Algeria was once a symbol of progressive anti-colonial struggle which brought women and men together to fight for their basic human rights. Djamila Bouhired and the other women fighters in the war of national liberation became the international symbols of Algeria's freedom struggle and were revered throughout the Arab World.
Dossier 18: Gender Politics and Islamization in Sudan
This research is an examination of the relationship of the Sudanese state to issues of gender, religion and class.
It is one component of my interest in the mechanisms the state employs for achieving both political and cultural hegemony.
Dossier 18: Ustadh Mohamed Taha: 12 years after his execution
On January the 18th 1985, Ustadh Mahmoud Mohamed Taha was executed in Kober Prison in Khartoum Sudan after a short trial on the previous day. His trial reflected the collapse of the rule of law after the promulgation of the September 1983 Laws, the declaration of emergency and the "Prompt Justice Courts" of 1984. Ustadh Taha's trial was a classic example of an unfair trial.
Ustadh Mahmoud Mohamed Taha was born in a sufist family, in the town of Rufaa (160 miles south of Khartoum) in 1909. His mother died when he was one year old and his father died when he was ten.

Dossier 14-15: Women's Rights Activist Assassinated in Algeria
February 17, 1995
Human Rights Watch's Women's Rights Project and Middle East division today deplored the assassination by suspected Islamist militants of Algerian women's rights activist Nabila Djahnine. Ms. Djahnine, a thirty-year-old architect who led an organization called the Cry of Women, was killed on February 15 in Tizi Ouzou, the capital city of the Kabyle region. According to a February 16 El-Watan report, she was gunned down by two men in a car as she walked to work.
Dossier 14-15: Algeria - In Defense of Intellectuals
Today, in Algeria, the execution and murder of women, foreigners and intellectuals by Muslim extremists have become systematic. Such typically fascist acts have given rise to feelings of outrage. Logically, therefore, one would expect that the most lucid would rally around a struggle against such a political vision or, at the very least, in defense of the memory of the victims.
Dossier 14-15: Gender, Civil Society and Citizenship in Algeria
Women in Algeria must negotiate their access to the public sphere in a society torn between the residual patriarchal reflexes of the modern state and Islamist revivalism.
Dossier 14-15: From Confiscation to Charges of Apostasy
Freedom of Academic Research
CHRLA is greatly alarmed by the Cairo Court of Appeals ruling of June 14, 1995, which ordered the divorce of Nasr Hamed Abu-Zeid (the Cairo University professor) from his wife, Dr. Ibthal Younis, on the grounds that he was an apostate because of the opinions contained in his published research.
The argumentation of the ruling raises problems related to freedom of thought, religious interpretation and belief, and the privacy of family relationships.
Dossier 5-6: Impact of Fanatic Religious Thought: A Story of a Young Egyptian Muslim Woman
An Egyptian man had been very strict with his daughter, only permitting her to work outside the home on condition that she be completely isolated from men. She found that 'ideal' job. Many months later, in the spring of 1988, this same man brought his daughter to the office of Nawal Al Saadawi to see her in her capacity as a psychiatrist. The following is based on the young woman's true story.

Golden amber apperance with foamy white head that slowly disappears. Smell is sweet, with a hint of grain, decent hops and vanilla.
Taste is a good blend of malt, grain and bread. Picked up a hint of citrus and vanilla as well. Cream, light bodied with moderate carbonation. Has a lingering bitter and malty aftertaste.
Overall, this is a refreshing and inoffensive beer. Nothing that stands out, but that's what makes it drinkable.

Appearance - This came out a muddled yellow in color and not very attractive but did sport a nice, white head.
Smell - The rough grain is the only thing I can find in this nose.
Taste - The grain was just as bad at the taste. It was putrid and left a lingering, almost rotten kind of aftertaste. I found some light sugar in there towards the end but it wasn't very inviting.
Mouthfeel - This is light-bodied with little carbonation.
Sinkability - This was a notch below blah.

Pours clear gold with a puffy white head. Stale aroma of straw, grass, and hops. Bready, sweet taste with some hops and metal. Grassy finish. Decent, but nothing special. It came as mo surprise when I found this was owned by Heineken. Somewhat reminiscent of their hop profile.

This beer is very good!!! This beer really took me by surprise. It is light, as a good Pilsner. A real Staple in Pilsner beer, probably as good as Pilsner Urquell. I thought this beer was really good. It was very thin, but good. The taste was very good as well with hints of citrus and is semi bitter.

Had on tap in Tanks Tap Room Tampa Florida, one of his regular imports. Served in chunky dedicated Krusovice Glass tankard, is medium dark, maybe a little darker than the usual Pilsner, though had little head. Aroma is what would be expected of a typical pilsner, clean, maybe a little more malty than some, some floral and yeasty hints. Taste is good, fair body, and good texture for this style of beer, smooth and malty to start, but good balance of bitterness and hops in the finish, very tasty and refreshing. Easy to drink and very enjoyable, with plenty of character, more so than some other more popular pilsners. Strangely, I have never seen this beer in any form in England, yet we get Staropranen, Czech Bud, and most of the other well known Czech Pilsners, which is a great shame, as I would be more than happy to buy it, if it tastes the same from bottle as it does on tap from the samples I have had.

Clear golden colour, medium white head, some lacing, pretty average. Aroma is malty with some hops in the nose, grass, straw. Flavour is malty, but more hoppy than the aroma indicated, grass and straw and also some funky metallic notes that spoils it a bit. Mouthfeel is crisp with medium bubbles and the liquid isn't particularly sticky. All in all a decent pils that for its price is good value for money.

Poured from a bottle into a Pilsner Glass.
Appearance - Nice little head that sat atop the beer, seemingly lighter than air. Head transformed into a thin cover after the first few sips. Nice, golden colour that seemed to complement the late-August mid-Afternoon sun here in wonderful Atlanta. Thin streaks of green perhaps, or do my eyes deceive me? No lacing to speak of.
Smell: Light, but not faint. Czech hops dominated the aroma with hints of honey. Quite nice really.
Taste: Light, but not faint (hey wait a second!). Czech hops dominated the taste with hints of honey (Wait just one bloody second!). Main difference between the smell and taste was that the honey was stronger and more apparent sooner than in the smell. After my Ommegangs, this was an amazing change of pace.
Mouthfeel: Light, but not faint (have you any other descriptions?). Certainly not watery, but it was not particularly strong--in a good way.
Drinkability: Due to the fact the beer was...light, but not faint...I could easily consume several of these. A good summer beer, or any season beer for that matter. There was heaps going on with this beer, but it didn't smack you upside your head. Instead, it invited you to find its characteristics. Wonderful.
The beer is quite nice. The best way to describe it is...wonderfully subdued. If your looking for a Pliny or Storm King, look elsewhere. If you just want a quality beer you can enjoy and like drinking, this is it.

This beer is a clear, deep golden color with just the slightest lean toward amber. A soft, foamy white head fades fairly quickly while maintaining a foam and leaves some lacing here and there.
A crisp, dry hops aroma balances on the nose with a sweet malt with some grains. Nothing off-putting here, though it's extremely light.
The taste follows suit. This isn't a big beer, and I'd certainly refer to it as a pilsener rather than an imperial pilsener, but it's what I expect. While it doesn't stand out and it isn't going with the "palate destroyer" trend, this seems to be par for the course, so to speak.
The body is light without being watery, and this beer has a crisp, clean feel and a dry, herbal finish. It's definitely as refreshing as one expects from a pils.
If this was what the typical BMC was, we'd be better off for it.

Pretty standard Czech golden, with a nice foam on top. Smells slightly malty and slightly sweet, again with nothing really unusual.
Taste is actually something of a surprise. I expected something more, I guess, but this felt almost watered down. When something claims to be 'imperial' I just expect a bit of oomph.
Not a bad beer, just somewhat boring.

After having their Cerne, I wasn't expecting much from their Pilsner especially since it got lower reviews, however with this one I am impressed.
Pours a medium golden yellow with a nice white head that leaves a lot of sticky lacing as the glass drains.
Aromas are pleasantly grainy with a bit of floral hops bringing up the rear.
Taste is also grainy like wheat and maybe a touch of rye making for a slightly spicy pilsner with a pleasant hop bite that keeps everything dry and your mouth feeling clean.
An exceedingly drinkable pilsner. I will revisit this one again sometime.

I spent the better part of a summer many years ago visiting Prague, and immediately seized on the wonderful (and at the time, still inexpensive) beer there. Ever since, I have noticed every Czech beer that is imported here, as there haven't been many. My favorites, Staropramen, Gambrinus, Platan, etc. have yet to make it to my home turf, so I approach each new 'Cesky pivo' made available here with nostalgic hope. Krušovice is indeed a new one for me - the bottle is adorned with a fair dose of royal imagery - a lot of Czech beers seem to have this affectation.
This 500ml bottle pours a nice, bright medium golden amber hue, with two hefty fingers of fluffy whipped-topping off-white head, which leaves some adequately complex snow rime splatter lace around the glass as it evenly sinks away. A pretty fine-looking beer, I'd say.
It smells of, well, nostalgia - all I could think was 'yup, smells like a Czech pilsener', which means grainy, saltine cracker-like pale malt, a touch of middling lemon, and earthy, leafy, somewhat spicy hops. The taste is more crisp, grainy, crackery malt, a retreating citrus essence, and somewhat subdued leafy, zingy hops.
The carbonation is a tad frothy at first, but settles down apace, the body a decent medium-light weight, and bracingly smooth, as those hops don't normally come without a price. It finishes clean, crisp, and still deftly balanced between the aforementioned yin and yang goodness.
A pretty easy drinker, this is, one I could see enjoying a full pint of on a patio on a hot summer day, in Vaclavske Namesti (wishful thinking), or elsewhere (probably even more so). A decent, if a tad reserved version of the best Pilseners out there - even though it's got the look down pat.

Situation: Add-in on a Shop-Rite Liquors trip--tough to pass up stand-alones that are under two bucks!
Glassware: 23 oz. pilsener...
Appearance: thin golden body, light effervescence, with a thin iced tea head that shifts in unison with its body--odd...
Aroma: subdued, light ping of Saaz; not as pungent as Czech or Polish varieties often are...some fruity notes too...
Palate: thin, watery body that projects a bit gassy, but overall quite a basic, predictable mouthfeel...
Taste: plain, pleasant compliment to food--like these nachos--but rather nondescript...not corny, but lacking the malts necessary to bring a fuller profile...
Overall: finishes as it starts, rather predicatbly but not awfully, while avoiding the butt some pilsners in green bottles will peddle...

This beer was poured from a 500ml bottle at 40º with a born on date on the back label. It produced a slight, white, foamy head which left a little lacing while disappearing. A few small bubbles were still evident after 5 minutes. There was a slight gold coloring with tinges of orange.
Malt and noble hops are detectable at the very first encounter. This is a good example of an attractable pilsner bouquet.
The taste was clean with some sharpness. A slight bitterness could be attributable to the amount of hops.
The taste of malt lingered in the mouth and seemed to marry quite well with the hops. Although this was slightly sharp and bitter there was nothing off in the way it bounced around before being swallowed.
This beer was over a year old according to the born on date but still had a lot left. Lacing continued to impress and the total package was very well put together.

Yellow with foamy bubbly white head. A bit beery aroma. Average drinkability, the mouthfeel is a tad grainy, dry and rough but one can get through it.I think those who expect this to be an imperial pilsner as opposed to a pilsner maybe a tad disapointed.

A - Big bottle with gold foil around the bottle cap....always a classy touch. Pours a crystal clear gold with a huge fluffy white ice-cream head. Lots of honeycomb lace is left on the side of the glass.
S - Soft saltine cracker and salt aroma. Hard crusty baguettes and pizza dough.
T - Again, mild but crisp salty cracker and crust flavors. Saltier than most German pilseners that I've tried, and slightly less twangy too. Good firm cracker-like malts with crisp hops to balance it out. Very slightly metallic. Nicely done.
M - Medium bodied and slightly acidic. The low level of carbonation coupled with the salty but smooth flavor makes this "supple" to steal a word from the oenophiles.
D - Excellent, if a bit boring. I could drink a few more of these this spring. I'm not the biggest pils fan, but this is excellent.

The Krusovice Imperial pours a deep golden body beneath a fairly long-lasting white head. It maintains a thin lid after dropping, mainly in part to its rising carbonation, and leaves short walls of spotty lace throughout the glass.
The nose is distinctly malty and hoppy with notes of grass and flowers.
In the mouth it's crisp with a fine-bubbled, median carbonation; and lightly viscous with a dextrinous medium body.
The flavor is as the nose suggest, with a rich grainy malt that's straw-like and grassy with a touch of biscuity character, and infused with grassy and floral hops. It's gently sweet, but off-set by the hop flavors; and backed by a solid bitterness. It finishes dry with a thin, lingering yarn of malt, and a handful of mild, grassy, floral, and lightly spicy hops.
It's well-balanced, well-brewed, and loaded with enough character to keep you from getting bored. Worth trying!

Brought a can of Krusovice Imperial home from a recent trip to Europe. The beer was golden cleal with foamy white head to start, which then faded. There was some initial lacing but eventually that ceased as well. The smell was malt and maybe a hint of some czech hops. The taste begins with a smooth malt taste that just stays throughout the whole taste. Mouthfeel was good had nice carbonation and was medium bodied....smooth. Overall was a good beer and would recommend it.

The final major of the tennis season started on Monday at the 2012 U.S. Open. We're previewing each section of the draw. Up next: The Radwanska Region.
Radwanska Region
Top Five Seeds
No. 2 Agnieszka Radwanska
No. 6 Angelique Kerber
No. 10 Sara Errani
No. 13 Dominika Cibulkova
No. 20 Roberta Vinci
Previewing the U.S. Open women's draw.
Top Four First-Round Matches
Venus Williams vs. Bethanie Mattek-Sands. After making almost no noise whatsoever in her first two career slams, Venus Williams announced her presence in the women's games with a wonderfully exciting run to the U.S. Open finals at 17 years old in 1997. Fifteen years, and two titles, later, she's still at it. Her 14th U.S. Open run (she missed 2003 and 2006) begins against another old hand of sorts. Bethanie Mattek-Sands played in her first U.S. Open in 2001, but the doubles specialist has won only four singles matches here and is currently ranked 212th in the world. Williams is an extreme wild card, and she should get the ball rolling with a semi-easy win here.
No. 21 Christina McHale vs. Kiki Bertens. Two interesting 20-year olds face off in this one. McHale, a product of Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, has made a rather quick ascent to 24th in the world; she is 10 months younger than anybody else in the Top 25, and she has advanced to the third round of each of the last four slams. Her draw isn't incredibly difficult -- at least, not until she would face off against Angelique Kerber in the fourth round -- and she'll start her Open versus Bertens, a virtual unknown at the beginning of 2012 who has quickly climbed into the Top 75. McHale beat Bertens in three sets in the first round of the French Open.
Yaroslava Shvedova vs. Vania King. It's always awkward when doubles partners have to face off in singles. King and Shvedova have advanced to the Women's Doubles finals in each of the last two U.S. Opens -- they won in 2010 -- but are forced to meet between the singles lines for the first time. Shvedova has been in fine form of late. After struggling through 2011 with a knee issue and falling out of the Top 200, she is back to 45th in the world after reaching the quarterfinals at the French Open and the fourth round at Wimbledon. (She also won the second "golden set" in tennis' history, sweeping through 24 straight points over Sara Errani at Wimbledon.) She should take this one, but hey, King, the 52nd-ranked 23-year old from Florida, certainly knows the full scouting report.
No. 2 Agnieszka Radwanska vs. Nina Bratchikova. This is a form check for Radwanska, who pulled out of the August's tournament in New Haven with shoulder soreness. She has never faced Bratchikova, a journeywoman of sorts from Russia, and if 100 percent, she should cruise against the world's No. 91 player. But it probably goes without saying that a wonky shoulder could impact your game considerably. We'll see how she's doing.
Top Three Storylines
How Is Radwanska's Shoulder? If she is 100 percent, Agnieszka Radwanska faces a rather favorable draw -- if seeds hold (granted, they almost never do), she would get No. 30 Jelena Jankovic in the third round (Radwanska has won both hard court meetings between the two, albeit in three sets each), No. 13 Dominka Cibulkova in the fourth (Radwanska is 3-0 all-time) and surging Angelique Kerber in the quarterfinals (Radwanska is 3-2 all-time, though just 1-2 on hard courts). A different woman has won the last seven slam titles, and Radwanska and Kerber have to be considered the favorites to stretch that to eight, but Radwanska does not score many easy, quick points, and she will need to be full strength to have a chance.
How Are You Doing, Venus? In dealing with Sjögren's syndrome, Williams' singles play has been hit-or-miss recently; she has won only one match in her two previous slams (just like 1997!) and has only advanced beyond the third round of a slam once since the start of 2011. She picked up her play on the hard courts, however, taking out 2011 U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur (along with Maria Kirilenko and Sara Errani) in Cincinnati. To say the least, Williams is the ultimate bracket-bomb, an unseeded player who has spent a good portion of the year playing at a Top-20 level. But even if she finds good form, how long will she maintain it? Long enough to take out Kerber in the second round? McHale or Errani in the fourth?
How Good Is Christina McHale? McHale is not intimidating from a physical standpoint, but again, she has reached the Top 25 well in advance of her 21st birthday. She crafts points about as well as any American tennis player right now, male or female, and she has taken down plenty of top players, from Petra Kvitova to Caroline Wozniacki. But she has hit a potential ceiling in slams of late, making it to the third round four straight times and never further. This year's third-round opponent would probably be French Open finalist Sara Errani, who has won all three contests between the two (though they haven't played on hard courts since 2008, when McHale was 16). She held her own with Kerber in their only hard-court meeting (Kerber won, 7-6, in the third set at Indian Wells earlier this year), and nobody in her eighth of the draw is untouchable, but can she navigate what are still some rather tricky waters?
Top Two Potential Later-Round Matches
Second Round: Angelique Kerber vs. Venus Williams
Quarterfinals: Agnieszka Radwanska vs. Kerber/Williams
Top Player (i.e. the one making the semifinals)
Angelique Kerber. It really has been an incredible year for the 24-year-old from Germany. She was ranked 34th last December and has just continued to pile up the results, reaching the quarterfinals of three of the last four slams, reaching the semis at both Wimbledon and last year's U.S. Open, and, less than two weeks ago, becoming the first woman since the French Open to beat Serena Williams. She is interesting to watch -- no player in the world generates more of her power from her legs; she's 5'8 but looks like she's 5'1 on her ground strokes -- and with Radwanska at least potentially gimpy, she is the default favorite.
