According to Royals beat writer Bob Dutton, Kansas City has traded utility infielder Mike Aviles to the Boston Red Sox for prospects Yamaico Navarro and Kendal Volz.
Since reaching the majors at 27 -- and finishing fourth in Rookie of the Year balloting -- Aviles has been up and down, but seems to have settled in a pretty good hitter for a guy who can play all four infield positions (or probably could, if asked to play first base). With the Red Sox, he'll serve as backup for fragile shortstops Marco Scutaro and Jed Lowrie, and (very) occasionally spell Kevin Youkilis and Dustin Pedroia.
Volz is a 23-year-old Class-A relief pitcher. He's big and has gotten a lot of strikeouts this season, but according to this report doesn't throw particularly hard. He's organizational depth, with a shot at pitching for the Royals someday, maybe.
Navarro, also 23, has been impressive enough to play some games with the Red Sox last season, and this season. But he's terribly slow, reportedly because he doesn't watch his weight. He doesn't figure to play regularly for the Royals, who have Alcides Escobar at shortstop and Chris Getz at second base, with second-base prospect Johnny Giovatella tearing up Triple-A this summer.
Rather, Navarro figures to fill Aviles' utility role, but younger and cheaper.

Looking at ways to house our rich and diverse collection of dress accessories have always been a constant challenge. When an area of the basement store was set aside for the storage of dress and accessories in the early 1980s, we were at the forefront. A quarter of a century later some of the methods that were adopted, now appear tired and in need of attention.

Street Lo Gore-Tex 21 21
Solid shoes, a half size large I use these for work and daily use. Walking through the snow they don't let anything in. They feel a half size large unless I'm wearing thick socks, then they are just right. If you live in warmer climates you may want to get them a half to a full size smaller than normal. February 8, 2014
Just as advertised The shoes are comfortable, the fit is great, and they are just what I ordered. January 26, 2014
great looking shoe Shoes are well made and comfortable.They seem to run on the large size. I bought a 12 and feel as though they are more like a 12.5. If they had a smaller size I would have switched but unfortunately they were out of stock. Otherwise a very nice shoe. January 11, 2014
So far so good Haven't had a chance to find out how waterproof they are but am pleased enough till then. If they're as good as the waterproof walking shoes I already own I'll be very happy. Was looking for pair of shoes at the time and found these for about what I was going to spend on a pair of non-waterproof shoes. They may run a bit large, but not a half-size. December 25, 2013
Keeps my feet toasty and dry! This is the second pair of these I have bought. The first ones could no longer be repaired after years of use. These shoes are the warmest I own and the wet outside doesn't bother them in the least. Great buy at a reasonable price! November 19, 2013
When my podiatrist saw my new Clarks Street Lows, he said "Those are really good shoes." I am on my third pair. They last about three years. I will buy another pair when these wear out. November 9, 2013
Very Comfy These shoes are very comfortable with a nice fit right outside of the box and no break in period. They are pretty spending but seem like they'll last a long time showing no wear after a month of solid use. Waterproofing is quite a plus even though I barely ever need it in reality. Definitely true fit to size. Great customer service in the past should mean full satisfaction of these shoes. November 8, 2013
Love these shoes Comfortable, long wearing walking shoes. This is my third pair! Perfect for work if you're on your feet most of the day and work in a casual office. September 7, 2013
Great shoes My second pair. I use them like work boots, casual dress, knock around for everything. They hold up and with a coat of polish, look good again. When I'm wading through mud and water, the gore-Tex does it's job. My only complaint: they don't seem to be available all the time and they are not cheap. June 2, 2013
Comfortable shoe. Good for my daily walks. Is a quality shoe that looks good. March 5, 2013
Great waterproof shoe. Very comfortable fit. Shoe can be worn in all types of weather. The style allows for it to be worn either with jeans or for a more dressed up look. January 5, 2013
Great fit, broken in feel with first use Perfect size and fit without even trying on the shoes. They look great and fit perfectly. Would also purchase if offered in other colors. November 1, 2012
Most comfortable shoe I have This is a high quality shoe, and is very comfortable. Looks like it will last for a long time. I like the way most Clark shoes have a wide toe area. Have several pairs of Clarks in different styles. This one has gore-tex and keeps my feet dry. October 15, 2012
fabulous stay-dry shoes! My son wears these shoes daily in St. Andrews, Scotland, where he goes to University. Not only have they held up well and remained comfortable for the year of wear and tear, but they also do well in the wet conditions. A great purchase! August 7, 2012
Not bad shoes it is about a little narrow to my feet . but I feel comfortable when wearing them. March 7, 2012

AUBURN — A judge rejected an effort by Denny's to dismiss a case against the local restaurant brought by a transgendered woman who was denied use of the women's restroom. The ruling clears the way for the case to continue to trial.
Androscoggin County Superior Court Justice William Brodrick wrote that the Maine Human Rights Act is aimed at preventing discrimination in public accommodation on account of sexual orientation. The law goes on to define sexual orientation as "a person's actual or perceived heterosexuality, bisexuality, homosexuality or gender identity or expression."
Brodrick wrote: "The court bases its decision on the plain language of the statute and concludes that, when viewing the facts in a light most favorable to the plaintiff, Ms. Freeman has adequately plead a claim that Denny's prohibited her from using the women's restroom because of her sexual orientation."
Jennifer Levi, a Boston lawyer who is representing Freeman, said she was pleased by the judge's ruling. She believes this case is the first test of the 2005 Maine law and could set a precedent.
Patrick Mellor, a Rockland attorney representing Denny's, declined to comment on the specifics of Brodrick's decision, but said he was hopeful the two sides would be able to reach agreement.
Freeman brought her complaint first to the Maine Human Rights Commission, whose investigator found reasonable grounds for the basis of her complaint.
Brianna Freeman, previously Bruce, 45, of Lewiston filed a lawsuit last year against Realty Resources Hospitality, doing business as Denny's Restaurant at 211 Court St., where she had been a regular customer.
She was refused use of the women's bathroom at the restaurant in October 2007. Using the women's bathroom was part of her medically recommended gender transition process, she wrote in court papers.
She wears women's clothing, makeup, jewelry and perfume.
In a related ruling, Justice Brodrick granted the restaurant owner's other motion to dismiss the case for failure to state a claim in regard to disability and sexual discrimination. Nevertheless, the case will proceed to trial on the discrimination in public accommodation on account of sexual orientation complaint.
Denny's had asked for a jury trial, but after Freeman changed her complaint withdrawing her request for compensatory and punitive damages, the judge rejected the restaurant's motion for a jury trial.

Torres set for spell out
7:04pm Sunday 19th January 2014 in Football © Press Association 2014
Fernando Torres faces a spell out with a knee injury sustained in Chelsea's win over Manchester United on Sunday, Blues boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed.
The Spain striker, who scored at Southampton and Hull earlier this month, came on as a late substitute for hat-trick hero Samuel Eto'o but did not last the distance due to a damage to his lateral knee ligament which means he faces "weeks" out.
Demba Ba will be given an opportunity in Torres' absence, Mourinho insisted.
Mourinho said: "It's time for Demba. It's a pity because Nando (Torres) is in a good moment, but it's time for Demba.
"Demba had a fantastic week; (it was) very difficult for me to leave him out of selection because he worked very, very well.
"Next matches is for Demba or Samuel. Let's go."

AP PHOTOS: Shock, mourning after Brazil club fire
(AP) - Family and friends are gathering to bury and remember their loved ones after a fatal nightclub fire in Santa Maria, Brazil. The club was hosting a party for university students Sunday when the fast-moving fire caused hundreds of partygoers to stampede toward the exit. Firefighters and police say more than 230 died and hundreds more were injured. Many of the victims were under 20 years old, including some minors. Brazilian police officials say they've made three detentions and are seeking a fourth person in connection with the blaze.
Here is a gallery of images depicting the emotional aftermath of this deadly fire.

StormFly Wristband Lets You Wear an Operating System
There's a plethora of flash drive wristbands out there, but few let you fit an entire computer on your arm. One company specializing in portable operating systems created StormFly, a wearable storage device that allows users to run OSes on separate devices. StormFly contains a Linux OS that can run on both Macs and PCs. The transition happens quickly and works independent of the machine's original OS. Check out the video, above, for more.

Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-6L6-S Matched Power Tubes Medium (4-7 GT Rating) Duet guitar amp tubes are Slovakian-made with high power and very aggressive dynamic tone...punchy, but still sweet. New GT design with more power and heavy duty components. High power type with more highs and lows than other 6L6 types.
Country of origin: Slovakia
Soft, medium, and hard style descriptions refer to break up modes of the tube for an overdriven guitar signal. Soft-rated tubes break up easier and have the least headroom, yielding a heavier, harder distortion. In comparison, hard-rated tubes break up easier and have the least headroom, yielding a heavier, harder distortion, while medium-rated tubes fall in between.
A great replacement tube for your guitar amp! Order today!

Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-6L6-S Matched Power Tubes:
I've tried many current production and nos tubes, but these always kick a__. For all the comments out there stating these are just JJ's...maybe so--but they're obviously tested and matched for distortion parameters that really make an amp sing and sustain.Do yourself a favor. Spend the extra 20, and get what you really wanted---TONE!
Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-6L6-S Matched Power Tubes:
I gave this tube all 5's because of what it can do for a silverface Fender amp. Lots of Guys pass those over becuase they have such high clean headroom. If you've used an SF, you know that you have to crank it up all the way to start getting break up. This 6L6S can really help with that flaw. These tubes break up very early without going over the edge at high volumes. At half power you getting what other types deliver on 10 but the sound dosent flab out on these if you do go all the way up. Try these before paying for all the mods. In fact,If you use these 6L6S on your Silverface, with some DiMarzio Super Distortion HB's and a good Hi gain preamp set of Tubes (I recommend Tung Sol or JJ 12AX7)you might not have to speand the money on amp mods.The Super Distortion pickups were MADE to over drive those clean 70's tube amps.
Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-6L6-S Matched Power Tubes:
The 6L6 may be the best sounding class of tube when over driven.. and the GT 6L6S does it best. In fact this thing pretty much sounds over driven at any volume, so its perfect for electic blues. Think johnny winter. This is the slovakian made 6l6 WHICH I CANNOT FIND ANYWHERE ELSE. If you have an Epi blues custom or a fender "tweed" type that wants 6l6 tubes, you probably want the sound these tubes deliver. Take out the stock 5AR4 and drop a slightly lower voltage rectifier (like a 5AU4 or even a 5Y3GT) and experience the love.
Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-6L6-S Matched Power Tubes:
These tubes are awful. I used them in a hot rod deluxe to replace old Groove tube Bs and biased them and everything but after comparing them to the originals I thought I had to replace they were much fuller, especially in the distortion. These tubes are noisier too.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) – Temperatures have dipped days before
Christmas and so have gas prices.
Many motorists in the Jonesboro area have seen the price of
gas drop below $3 during the past week.
The drop in prices come as an early Christmas present, as
local drivers and millions of others plan to travel in the next few days.
According to AAA, more than one in four Americans is
expected to take a road trip during the holiday season.
Debra Brooks of Bono is not among them, as she and her
family plan to stay at home this Christmas.
"We're going to stay home even though gas prices are good
and it's the perfect time to travel," Brooks said, "but I'm going to stay home
with the family with the kids. My kids will be traveling, going to the in-laws,
but we're going to have our time together."
Brooks filled up her car Friday afternoon at Kroger on
Caraway Road in Jonesboro, paying $2.83 per gallon. She echoed many drivers,
who say saving a little on gas will now allow them to spend more money
"I can put that extra little bit on something else," said
Khalilah Parks, a mother of three from Jonesboro.
Parks has a few items left to check off her kids' Christmas
list, so she plans to spend a few more dollars on them instead of filling up
her truck this weekend.
"[I'm] excited," Parks said about paying less than $3 for
gas. "[It's] good that it's during the time when I do need to fill up instead
of higher when I fill up and then it goes down. I hate when that happens."
Parks also plans to stay close to home this Christmas,
unlike the millions of others traveling this weekend.
AAA estimates more than 93 million people will journey 50
miles or more from home during the year-end holidays.
Those trips will likely be made merrier thanks to paying
less at the pump.

the work zone was specifically created for an exhibition by carsten nicolai at base progretti per l'arte in florence, italy, in 2007. a sound installation, little objects and the nicolai's traces series were combined to a room installation, which pays tribute to andrej tarkovskij's 1979 film 'stalker'. in the film the zone is a site, in which every dream comes true, a mental and physical site, which has no identity but is able to contain all the identities at the same time. the room installation was an attempt to transport these ideas into a setting to question the usual states of perception.
the sound presented on this vinyl edition is edited from the soundtrack of the installation. it consists of a stereo signal of undulating white noise with its two single channels playing inverted phases. under ideal circumstances this can lead to a complete cancellation of sound (please note: in order to be able to cut the sound on vinyl it was necessary to eliminate specific cross phasings).

What in the world is going on in our town?! Seems like every other day, we have a major crime in town. The woman hit in the face and robbed downtown. The Safeway. Tiffany's at Stanford.....
Is this another result of our City Council focusing on everything except the basics of running a small town government? The streets are in awful shape. We can't build a library, it seems. Finances are in shambles...and the police can't seem to protect us from violent crime.
But we do have an environmental commissioner...and we might take over the airport...
on Sep 27, 2007 at 11:11 am
I agree. I can't really care much about the Mandarin Immersion topics or how green we are when there are major crimes in our town. Does anyone really say to themselves "This is Palo Alto, and that kind of stuff doesn't happen here." anymore? This town isn't Mayberry and it sits in close proximity to areas that are agreed by all to have large crime problems. I suggest we put more cops on the street and make sure our citizens know to not bother them with the trivial stuff. If our residents need to call someone about noise complaints or leaf blowers, I suggest the City needs more non-police officer code enforcement type folks. That way the cops can just be cops and hopefully catch the bad guys.

We need more coordination between municipalities, relative to public safety (and other issue, but that's another post).
For instance, we should not be letting the EPA police department handle their far more significant crime and ganag problems by themselves. The only way this region will be successful is if we find more powerful ways to coordinate our actions, create efficiencies, and work as a team. It's a challenge, but we'd better be up to it, or we will see criminals taking advantage of gaps in the system.

The 10,000 Lakes Robotics Competition is where you'll find 2,500 students practicing a varsity sport that requires more brains than muscle. And it's a sport that's growing in popularity, not only in Minnesota and across the country, but around the world.
These robots are sophisticated enough to shoot disks and climb what are called pyramids. Competitors have been grouped in three team alliances to do what they do best, dance, flex their noggins, and compete.
"The teams play defense, offense; they have strategies on who's going to do what in an alliance, the three-robot team," Minnesota FIRST Planning Committee chairman Mark Lawrence said.
"Teams operate like small businesses," Kyra Shaefer of Irondale High School said. She was among the winners of the competition. "We do have a lot of the math and science, but a lot of what people are going into business."
"Maybe they don't want to be on the football team, but they still like being part of a team and having that community," Lawrence said.
The alliances formed are part of the allure, charming enough to attract students from as far away as Mexico.
"It's like a big family from all the parts of the world, so, it's amazing," Marco Solis said. Solis traveled from Mexico to compete.
It's a kind of camaraderie that will benefit these students for years to come.
"I'm going to be attending the University of Minnesota in the fall, and after that, I'm going to get a mechanical engineering degree," Shaefer said.
Especially for those like Kyra who plans on returning to pay it forward.
"I'll be coming back in the following years as a mentor," she said.
Winners will claim their trophy and head to St. Louis for the championships at the end of April.

Parents are angry about what a St. Joseph, MO, boy is accused of doing to their kids and they're not happy with how the school handled it. Since September, three parents have filed police reports against the boy.
A warning to viewers: this story involves details that are graphic in nature.
Just this week, a little girl at Hosea Elementary School in St. Joseph told her mother a little boy had been pinching and touching her private area in the classroom and on the playground when the teachers weren't looking.
"I want to know how it happened?" said the mother whose identity KCTV5 is concealing to protect her daughter. "Why were we not aware as parents that we were dropping our kids off to somewhere that's not safe and this could happen to them?"
The mother said on Monday night she learned from friends there were accusations against a 5-year-old boy in her daughter's kindergarten classroom that he was bullying children and touching some of the girls in their private areas. When she asked her daughter about it, she was heartbroken at the answer.
"She said, 'yes mommy, he touches me right here.' And pointed to her pants. At that moment I just hugged her," the mother said. "(She said) that her bad parts hurt because he touches them, he pinches them and he rubs them all the time."
She said her daughter explained the boy would pinch and rub her and other girls' private areas when the adults weren't around. The daughters said it even happened on the slide on the playground. The daughter told her teacher about it and the boy was placed in time-out.
"That school was a place where our kids are supposed to be safe. They knew my daughter said in counseling that adults knew and just put the boy in time-out. They didn't let us parents know this was happening in their care," the mom said.
The mom filed a police report on Wednesday, but she wasn't alone.The St. Joseph Police Department confirmed yet another parent filed a report this week.
Police and the Missouri Department of Social Services, Children's Division are also investigating a case reported in September against the same little boy accused of shoving an object in a little girl's private area.
KCTV5 is also concealing the identity of the mother from the first reported incident in September. She said when she put her daughter in the shower, she suddenly discovered green Play-Doh coming out of her private area.
"I was in shock, I knew someone had put it there," the first mom said. "I turned the water off, got her out, started talking to her and I was crying and very emotional. She told me that it was Play-Doh, that a boy in her class put Play-Doh around her private area."
The first mother took her daughter to the hospital, filed a police report and notified the school. She wanted the little boy to get help to prevent it from happening to another child.
"They could have taken him out, got him in counseling. I asked the principal if he could issue a letter or a meeting with parents to let them know. He was unwilling to do that," she said.
School district leaders say they followed procedures and immediately notified DFS as well as took steps with the student that they can't reveal due to privacy laws.
"It was dealt with according to what we felt was best for all kids and the safety of all kids," said Dr. Jake Long, the director of student services. "The No. 1 concern within the St. Joe School District is the safety of our kids. Our building principal and our leaders within the local educational site have been in continuous communication with those parents specifically."
School district leaders explained what was done and why to protect students after the first reported incident five months ago.
"I can't speak to the specifics of any of those situations because of the investigation that is going on with the state department and our local law enforcement," Long said.
When asked if the student was still in the classroom, he said he couldn't speak to that because of student confidentiality.
Both mothers said they're angry and the district failed to make sure the boy wasn't hurting any more victims.
"I am in shock. I just feel like these children were let down. I don't know what to think. School is a safe spot, you should feel safe and be safe there and be watched over," the first one said.
"They are completely aware of this kid being violent and sexually violent on other kids, there have been reports. Why wasn't the little boy helped? He needed help, he was crying out for help," the second one said.
The mom said she and several parents are meeting with an attorney to file a lawsuit. They are demanding answers about how the incidents were handled.
Days after the story made headlines, the superintendent of the school district sent a letter to parents talking about the incidents. In it, Dr. Fred Czerwonka said he believes the school's principal handled the situation correction:
"Dear Friends and Families,
"Several days ago, allegations were aired regarding seriously inappropriate student behavior at Hosea Elementary School. As a parent and an educator, I certainly understand how frightening these allegations are, especially given that we are talking about kindergarteners. My heart goes out to all concerned."
"Since then, however, we have revisited our processes and reviewed our actions. Today, I want to assure the Hosea parents and our community that the Hosea Principal, Mr. Kevin Carroll, handled this situation by the book."
"In fact, I want to thank him for his professionalism in following our process and in dealing with this issue. He notified authorities, cooperated with authorities, and from the very beginning, took appropriate action to ensure the safety and welfare of all students. On a personal note, I have been in Hosea several times during the past week and have seen firsthand the professionalism and deeply caring nature of both the principal and the teacher involved. The students at Hosea are safe and are being taken care of by the staff."
"I would remind everyone that when individual students are involved, we are extremely constrained as to what we can say. The law requires us to protect the privacy of all students – in this case, both the accused and the accuser."
"I want to caution everyone that we are talking about five-year-old children. While that fact heightens the emotionality of this issue, it should also give us pause given their developmental level."
"We will continue to scrutinize our procedures and policies, and we will continue to put kids first."
Dr. Fred Czerwonka
Superintendent of Schools"

Artis Gilmore plays in The PLAYERS Celebrity Shootout
JU legend and Basketball Hall of Famer Artis Gilmore was one of 16 local celebrities invited to participate in the The PLAYERS Celebrity Shootout - a closest to the pin contest on the world-famous 17th hole on the TPC at Sawgrass PLAYERS Stadium Course.
Former Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mark Brunell won Friday's THE PLAYERS Championship Celebrity Shootout at the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass, winning $5,000 for his charity, the Brunell Family Foundation.
A total of 16 celebrities were given two shots each at the 17th with its famed island green. Closest to the pin won the $5,000 for charity.
Brunell's second attempt landed 13 feet, 4 inches from the pin.
With the pin tucked in the traditional Sunday pin placement on the ever-dangerous right side, Gilmore's first shot came up dry - just 26 feet, 11 inches from the hole. Trying to be more aggressive on his second attempt, he pulled his shot a little more to the left, finishing 48 feet, 4 inches away.
Gilmore's charities were JU Athletics and the N. Jerome McClain Scholarship Fund.

Trade Gordon's Massive Head
"As for now, I don't know what's going on. (If the Hornets match) as of right now, I'd be disappointed." Is there anything the Hornets could do to change his mind? "I don't think there is," Gordon said. Despite playing only 9 games last year, he still feels so entitled. He's not even an allstar. I used to like him more than Blake Griffin while he was with the Clippers and even after he was traded but now he's acting like some douche bag from Jersey Shore (I assume since I don't watch the show). Trade him. You guys deserve better. Hey, you still have Davis

Continuity. In some cases, it is a major positive.
Take the case of Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden returning for at least one more season in Cincinnati. Gruden, who reportedly agreed to a new three-year, $3.6 million contract, was widely praised for his work with first-year QB Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati offense in his first season on the job.
As a club source noted, Gruden will finally have a full offseason to work with his players. Coaches and players couldn't work together or even communicate for the vast majority of the 2011 lockout. Even with this obstacle, the Bengals made a successful transition from Bob Bratkowski's offense to Gruden's West Coast scheme — and they did it with a rookie passer at the helm.
Though the Bengals finished 20th in yards and 18th in points in 2011, there's reason to believe they can improve in those areas. The organization is high on Dalton, who started every game as a rookie. Their top pass catcher, WR A.J. Green, was also a rookie, and evaluators rave about his upside. Already some regard him as an elite difference maker. The club is also high on OLT Andrew Whitworth, C Kyle Cook and TE Jermaine Gresham, with all considered key pieces of the puzzle.
Another year in Gruden's scheme, coupled with development from Dalton, Green and Gresham, and the offense could very well be stronger next season.
That isn't to say the Bengals won't need to make moves on that side of the ball, however, with the decision on whether to re-sign RB Cedric Benson at the top of the list. But the Bengals' 2012 preparations begin with the offense already being in a relatively good place.
Now, if the Bengals can also retain defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, the organization can be forgiven if it enters the offseason with a collective bounce in its step. Zimmer, who has interviewed for the Dolphins' head-coaching vacancy and is expected to interview for the Buccaneers' head-coaching job, oversaw a defense that allowed the seventh-fewest yards per game and fourth-fewest yards per play in 2011.
As with the offense, the defense isn't without areas that cannot be improved. For instance, the Bengals' pass defense, while generally solid this season and above-average from a yards-allowed perspective, could use a little more playmaking ability at cornerback and safety. But the Bengals' concerns aren't major on this side of the ball — and that's especially true if Zimmer returns.

(All numbers listed after each player is their cornerback ranking in 2012 as rated by Advanced NFL Stats.)
Will the Revis Island of old return to form in Tampa Bay? (via cdn0.sbnation.com)
1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Darrelle Revis (113), Eric Wright (38), Johnthan Banks (NA), Leonard Johnson (45), Michael Adams (47), Danny Gorrer (97), Anthony Gaitor (131), Myron Lewis (171)
As if it was not enough the carry the title of the best safeties in the division, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers also boast the best cornerback group in the NFC South, and by a wide margin.
The Stud: The crown jewel offseason acquisition was that of Revis, who is arguably a Hall of Fame cornerback. He alone boosts the value of this group. He is so dominant that in Pro Football Focus' ranking of cornerbacks in the last 5 years, he ranked 1st, and had a grade double of Charles Woodson, who was second place. He is also a 4-time Pro Bowler, 3-time All-Pro team selection, and a former AFC Defensive Player of the Year in 2009. Though well accomplished, he is coming off a torn ACL from the 2012 season, and it remains to be seen if he can return to his prior form.
Notable: Wright, the other starting CB, is solid, if not spectacular. A second round pick in 2007, he has received much fanfare after some off the field issues at the University of Southern California. He signed a very lucrative contract with the Buccaneers last year, and has proven to be a great addition. He has totaled 14 INTs in his 6-year career.
Banks was highly touted pick from the 2013 NFL Draft from Mississippi State. Revis and Wright will make great mentors for this rookie, who was a Jim Thorpe Award winner, a first-team All-American and first team All-SEC player in college.
Though less heralded, Johnson, Adams, and Gorrer have top 100 cornerback credentials. This gives their impressive secondary unit huge depth, ensuring that the team will thrive even if Revis is not ready.
Asante Samuel and his illustrious resume return to Atlanta for another year. (via cdn1.sbnation.com)
2. Atlanta Falcons: Asante Samuel (8), Robert McClain (30), Desmond Trufant (NA), Robert Alford (NA), Peyton Thompson (NA), Dominique Franks (145), Terrence Johnson (NA)
This past offseason, Atlanta lost arguably their best cornerbacks on the roster: Dunta Robinson and Brent Grimes. However, looking further, it appears that the Falcons are still in good shape. According to Advanced NFL Stats, they still have two cornerbacks that performed in top 30 amongst all cornerbacks in the league. With the addition of two highly picked rookies, the future looks bright for this unit.
The Stud: Though he may have "lost a step," Samuel is still an incredible cornerback, most known for his ball-hawking days in New England. Along with Revis, Samuel is the only other cornerback that has made the Pro Bowl and is on a current NFC South roster. He is also a 4-time Pro Bowler and 3-time All-Pro team selection. Not to mention, he is a two-time Super Bowl champion, so he knows what it takes to win, and can impart it to the rookies on the roster.
Notable: McClain's success is but a painful reminder for Panthers fans, as he drafted and let go by the organization in 2011, and is now thriving for a division rival. Advanced NFL Stats rated him the 30th best cornerback in the league in 2012.
The Falcons picked up two incredible corners in the 2013 NFL Draft in Trufant and Alford. Their 1st round pick, Trufant has great bloodlines, as his brothers Marcus and Isaiah both play cornerback in the NFL presently. Alford was the Falcons' 2nd round pick and made first team All-Southland playing for Southeastern Louisiana University.
Keenan Lewis hopes to be a shutdown corner for his hometown team, the New Orleans Saints. (via cdn1.sbnation.com)
3. New Orleans Saints: Patrick Robinson (15), Keenan Lewis (32), Jabari Greer (40), Corey White (101), Ryan Steed (NA), A.J. Davis (NA), Rod Sweeting (NA), Korey Lindsey (NA)
The Saints took a step back in defense in 2012, giving up the most yards in NFL history. Let's repeat that. IN HISTORY. On the bright side, there is no where to go but up, right?
But surprisingly, looking at the Advanced NFL Stats, they still had two cornerbacks ranked in the top 40 in 2012. With the big addition of an underrated free agent, and the return of head coach Sean Payton, the New Orleans Saints cornerbacks may sneak up on their division rivals in 2013.
The Stud: Patrick Robinson is a great under the radar cornerback for the Saints. Drafted in the 1st round in 2010, he has done nothing but provide great coverage in the secondary. Over the years, he has had epic battles with Steve Smith on the outside, though Smitty made him have gotten the best of him more frequently. Though he has never a Pro Bowl, Advanced NFL Stats ranked him 15th out of all cornerbacks in the NFL in 2012.
Notable: Lewis was a great acquisition for the Saints, coming home to New Orleans after playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was widely considered one of the best young free agents on the market, and signed a $10.5 million guaranteed contract with a division rival, much to the dismay of NFC South quarterbacks. He is expected to shut down his side of the field on defense.
Ranking 40th among cornerbacks, Greer is an "old reliable" cover corner. At 31 years old, he has had his share of memorable moments with the Saints, including playoff interceptions and winning Super Bowl XLIV.
Captain is now the veteran Panther of the cornerback group in Carolina. (via cdn1.sbnation.com)
4. Carolina Panthers: Captain Munnerlyn (13), Josh Norman (74), Josh Thomas (76) Drayton Florence (89), D.J. Moore (104), James Dockery (157), Melvin White (NA)
Though not a surprise to many fans, the Panthers are ranked last in the NFC South in cornerback quality. Not only did they release former first rounder Chris Gamble, but they also failed to use a draft pick on cornerback. And without salary cap space in the offseason, the Panthers were limited and forced to be creative to shore up their cornerback unit.
The Stud: By default, Captain Munnerlyn is the best corner in this unit. He holds seniority amongst all other cornerbacks on the roster, and ranked the highest at 13, according to Advanced NFL Stats. Despite being a bit undersized for the position, he has played physical defense on the outside and in the slot. Though he does not make many, he does have big play potential, as he got a "pick-6" against Tampa Bay in 2012. Fortunately, he decided to re-sign with Carolina in the offseason at a reduced rate.
Notable: Norman was the highly touted CB from Coastal Carolina drafted in the 5th round last year. Unfortunately, he did not live up to the hype (which might have been self-created) and ne played just like a 5th-rounder rookie should in their first year. According to Pro Football Focus, he gave up a first down or TD on 8.95% of his coverage snaps, the HIGHEST amongst all cornerback in the NFL in 2012. Yikes. He did seem to get better as the season progressed, but he has a lot of work to do to solidify a starting cornerback position again.
Their two free agent cornerback acquisitions bring veteran leadership to this young group. When the season starts, Florence will be playing his 11th year in the league, an eternity in football years. As noted in our previous free agent profile on him, he was great years ago, ranking 7th amongst all cornerbacks in 2009. Whether he can return to that form remains to be seen.
Moore is an acquisition from the vaunted Chicago defense. In the shadows of his more celebrated teammates Tim Jennings and Charles Tillman, he also held his own, notching 2 INTs, 6 pass deflections, and 2 "stuffs" in limited time. It will be excited to see what he is able to do in a more prominent role.
Thomas and Dockery saved the Panthers' back end defensively when they became starters. Coincidentally, when they took over the starting roles in the second half of the season, the team amassed more wins. I firmly believe that this two are underrated by Panthers fans and will see more time on the field than we originally anticipate.
Luckily, since the Panthers' front 7 appears to be strong, the defense does not need to rely on the cornerbacks as much as other teams. And although the Panthers' cornerbacks are ranked last in the division, I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSSub-Zero Temperatures Greet Residents Wednesday
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Jan. 29, 2014 9:43 AM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Jeff Morris, Brandon Stover) -- If you were feeling a bit "negative" about things Wednesday morning, it's no wonder.
Most locations in the Eyewitness News viewing area had temperatures ranging between 5 and 10 below zero. Meteorologist Brandon Stover advised that this type of cold can cause hypothermia and frostbite, so bundling up in layers and protecting exposed skin outdoors are extremely important.
With the cold start to the day, temperatures were only expected to reach the mid to upper teens by 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Wednesday night calls for more dangerously cold temperatures toward zero or below. This will mean a frigid start for Thursday before rebounding to the low 40s by the afternoon.
Heading into the weekend temperatures will really start improving, with highs in the mid-40s on Friday and Saturday could boost temperatures toward 60 degrees. Sunday calls for high temperatures in the mid-40s.

Customer Reviews
By: Noella Dion from Blainville, Quebec, Canada on 08/12/2013I just got it put together, and it was quite easy. I would have wished for no plastic parts, but It seems sturdy enough. I have two broken drawers and will be conyacting them about that. Two screws were too long and luckily I had washers or I would have not been able to finish putting it together. All in all It seems a great buy for the price.
By: leslie from rock hill, ny on 11/29/2012I read a couple reviews that said the table was not pre-drilled so maybe that is different now since it was pre-drilled. It was very easy to put together, is a great value and the desk is well made and sturdy. The company seems to be very good as when one of the drawers were broken and one of the bottom leg attachments had a defect, they were very easy to deal with, sending the parts out quickly. I would definitely recommend this table and the company as well. looks good
By: Sharon Murphy from Rockville, MD on 12/25/2011Well made and not too difficult to put together. Excellent value. My grandson, the artist, was thrilled with... gift. Win Win all around!
By: RS from FL on 12/23/2011Well designed and crafted product. Directions clear, video very helpful. Parts well fitted and organized. Beautiful finish on table top. Only 2 small frustrations: (1) The little hooks underneath the plastic drawers to keep drawers from coming out when pulled, snag on the adjacent drawers when both pulling out and pushing in the drawers, causing them to bind, and (2) the stool legs were slightly wobbly. Over all, a good experience and and an excellent product at a good price.
By: SE from AZ on 08/14/2011Nice table. Table top was not pre drilled which made it difficult to assemble.
By: Rachel Mixon from Leesburg Georgia on 12/27/2009It is a wonderful table.A great quality for the low price.My only problem was the assembly instructions.The wording was fine BUT the pictures did not help at all. If they could show the indentations that are needed on certain holes on certain legs and such,it would be very helpful. The table top was NOT pre-drilled. Thankfully my husband is a handy man and was able to figure all of this out himself. He did however put a few things on backwards and needed to disassemble then reassemble. This is because nothing is marked. Other then that it's a great product.My 14 year old daughter LOVES it!
By: pedolbailey from oregon on 12/20/2009Excellent value for the money! Very pleased
By: TP from Florida on 09/29/2009Table was of descent quality, good price. very satisfied
By: JT from SC on 03/31/2009THANK YOU! The site made it easy to find all that we needed to make our son's birthday a huge success. The table is AWESOME and was really easy to assemble.

|Kalida pulls away from Jefferson in girls hoops
|Monday, December 10, 2012 3:40 PM
Kalida sophomore Jackie Gardner can't quite catch up as Jefferson junior Hannah Sensibaugh gets fouled on a transition try Saturday afternoon at Jefferson High School. Kalida grabbed a 16-point triumph. (Delphos Herald/Tom Morris)
By JIM METCALFE
DELPHOS — Once the Kalida girls basketball team took the lead late in the first period of its road contest at Jefferson High School Saturday afternoon, the LadyCats used strong rebounding and foul trouble by the Jeffcats to roll up a 53-37 non-conference triumph.
"We really struggled to rebound the ball today. We gave up way too many second chances and didn't box out well," Jefferson mentor Dave Hoffman noted. "Kalida was pretty aggressive and attacked us offensively, that put a lot of pressure on us defensively. They also played good defense against us."
Kalida coach Adam Huber figured offensive rebounding is a must for his team.
"We need more shots because we aren't a good shooting team anyway; we need the extra tries," he explained. "We have made it a point to attack pressure; we know Jefferson likes to pressure and trap a lot, so for us, we had to attack them and get ball reversals and get to the basket."
Foul trouble reared its ugly head early for the Jeffcats (3-2) as junior Makayla Binkley picked up her second foul at the 22.8-second mark and her third at 6.1 seconds. Before that, Jefferson held its largest lead of 4-0 on a basket by junior Katie Goergens (4 thefts) and two tosses by classmate Hannah Sensibaugh (8 counters). Kalida rallied with seven straight, taking the lead for good at 5-4 on two free throws by sophomore Jackie Gardner (8 points, 4 boards) at 5:47. Kalida then started to take advantage of fouls by the hosts, with Sensibaugh picking up her second foul at 4:26, and nailing 7-of-9 at the line in the period (14-of-21 for the game for 66.7%). They took a 14-10 edge as senior Summer Holtkamp (3 steals) hit a 5-footer at 16 seconds.
Jefferson also committed eight of its 24 miscues in the canto to five for the LadyCats (22 for the afternoon).
Though the fouls weren't as frequent in the second period for the hosts (4), the guests still hit 4-of-8 from charity. The hosts struggled to find the range consistently and six offensive rebounds by Kalida — who dominated the glass 40-20, 18-3 offensive — helped them gain a 26-16 edge on 1-of-2 singles by Holtkamp at 55.4 ticks. Junior Gabby Pimpas (team-high 10 points) hit a jumper from the left elbow at 34 seconds and a long deuce from the right wing with 12 seconds on the clock to get the Red and White within 26-20 at the half.
Binkley picked up her fourth foul at 1:55.
The third period was the doom for the Lady Jeffcats. The LadyCats forced eight errors and continued its dominance on the glass (11-6), netting 8-of-17 shots (18-of-51 fielders, 3-of-13 3-pointers, for 35.3%) to only 1-of-6 for the hosts (10-of-30 overall, 0-of-2 downtown, for 33.3%). A 4:41 drought to close the third by Delphos allowed Kalida to run off the last 14 markers of the canto, capped by a 3-ball by freshman Kylie Osterhage (game-high 12 markers, 10 boards) from left of the key with 44 ticks on the board, for a 46-24 edge.
Junior Rileigh Stockwell picked up third foul (6:09) and fourth (2:40) fouls and Pimpas her third (5:23) and fourth (5:07) in the stanza,
Kalida held the largest lead of 48-24 at 5:30 of the fourth and both coaches emptied their benches as far as they could as Jefferson closed with a 9-2 spurt.
"We aren't consistent right now, especially offensively. They turned us over, especially the second half," Hoffman added. "For some reason, we didn't handle their pressure well; we didn't take our time against their attacking defense. Right now, we aren't consistent with our concentration level and that is as important as anything to play for 32 minutes."
Amy Smith added a double-double for Kalida (11 boards and 10 points, adding five steals); they added 17 fouls and visits Fort Jennings at noon Dec. 15.
"The only thing we really talked about at the half was not taking as many 3s. We shot seven the first half and made one," Huber added. "They weren't bad shots but we made to attack the basket. We don't have the girl that will average 20 a game but we have several that can score 20 in a given night; if anything, we're a bit too unselfish at times."
Jefferson totaled 18 fouls and hosts Crestview Thursday.
In junior varsity play, Kalida (4-1) was paced by freshman Allison Recker's 14 and classmate Brittany Kahle's 11.
Junior Lindsay Deuel topped the Lady Jeffcats (2-3) with nine.

PFW associate editor Dan Parr offers his stock analysis of the Bears and identifies who, or what, is on the rise or decline following their Week One win over the Falcons.
DT Henry Melton — Melton, making his first career start, wreaked havoc in Atlanta's backfield, recording two sacks and five additional hits on QB Matt Ryan. His three-technique position is a key one in Chicago's defense, and he has the ability to give the interior D-line a dose of explosiveness that it lacked far too often last season.
Offensive line — This much-maligned group didn't answer every question or ease all concerns in one game. It's off to a solid start, though. The Falcons were credited with five sacks on Jay Cutler, but two of them were not the fault of the offensive line. The front five did a nice job of enduring a personnel change, as Chris Spencer replaced the injured Lance Louis at right guard in the second quarter.
Production on offense — Improvement is expected in the offense's second season under Mike Martz, and the Bears certainly looked like a more potent attack against the Falcons. Personnel moves that Martz was in favor of — signing WR Roy Williams and the big changes at tight end — weren't very popular, but Williams had a pretty good day (four catches on all four targets for 55 yards) and free-agent addition TE Matt Spaeth, a blocking specialist, had a one-yard TD catch. There were some questionable play calls — including a first-quarter end-around to undrafted rookie Dane Sanzenbacher that resulted in a loss of four yards — but Chicago's offense, which ranked 30th in the league last season, is ranked 12th after one game this season.
Concerns over turnover on special teams — Coordinator Dave Toub had a shortened offseason to get his special-teams units in order, and he had to do it without some key contributors from past seasons. There is a younger, less-experienced crop of players involved on the special-teams units and they were shaky at times in the preseason. Things went smoothly in the kicking game against the Falcons, though. RS Eric Weems was kept in check, Robbie Gould made all three of his field-goal attempts and booted five touchbacks on kickoffs and new P Adam Podlesh is off to a fine start.
ORG Lance Louis — The Bears didn't give an update on Louis' sprained right ankle Monday and we won't get a better sense of his status until Wednesday's injury report is released. He had to leave Sunday's game in the second quarter and reportedly was wearing a walking boot on his right foot in the locker room after the game. It'll be a tough break for Louis if he has to miss time. He suffered an injury early last season and never regained the ORG job. Chris Spencer replaced Louis on Sunday, but Edwin Williams, who was inactive, is another option to step in.
FS Major Wright — Wright made his first career start Sunday, but recent addition Brandon Meriweather, who replaced Wright at times vs. Atlanta, is making a strong push for more reps. Meriweather has been with the team for about a week, but Wright's hold on the starting job appears to be tenuous.

For the second day in a row, police are investigating a possible shootout in the city, only this time someone was injured.
Police tell CBS 3 that a man was shot twice around 3 a.m. Sunday, in the area of State Street and Colonial Avenue.
They said they were first made aware of the shooting when the victim was brought to Mercy Medical Center.
He was then transferred to Baystate Medical Center, where he underwent surgery for what appears to be non-life-threatening injuries.
The shooting happened right across the street from Duck's Place, which was the site of a fatal shooting last month.
CBS 3 media partner Mass Live and The Republican reported that a total of eight rounds were found at this morning's shooting scene, but from two different caliber weapons.
Police said that indicates a possible shootout.
Early Saturday morning, police responded to reports of a shootout in the city's Forest Park section.
They said 12 shots were fired, but it appeared no one was injured in that incident.

National Drinking Water Database
City of Benicia - Vallejo, CA
Serves 28,000 people - Test data available: 2004-2008
This drinking water quality report shows results of tests conducted by the water utility and provided to the Environmental Working Group (EWG) by the California Department of Public Health. It is part of EWG's national database that includes 47,667 drinking water utilities and 20 million test results. Water utilities nationwide detected more than 300 pollutants between 2004 and 2009. More than half of these chemicals are unregulated, legal in any amount. Despite this widespread contamination, the federal government invests few resources to protecting rivers, reservoirs, and groundwater from pollution in the first place. The information below summarizes test results for this utility and lists potential health concerns.

EPA Violation Summary
No violations were reported for this system since 2004.
Information on violations is drawn directly from EPA's national violations database in the Agency's Safe Drinking Water Information System. Analyses by others have raised questions about the quality of the information in EPA's database. For the purposes of this investigation, EWG is not showing below or including in our analyses, those violations for individual water suppliers that occurred on days for which the total number of violations assigned by EPA to that water supplier was greater than 20. This criteria was based on common characteristics of incorrect violations data as identified by water utilities, from a review of EPA's violations data by several hundred utilities prior to the release of EWG's investigation.

For years, fans have clamored to have Final Fantasy VII on the current generation of consoles. Even when the Playstation 2 was around everyone wanted the game done for that system with the best graphics (obviously) available. Now, in the current life cycle of consoles, fans would like to see the game on Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. This would not be so bad, except for the fact that Square-Enix made a teaser trailer for the Playstation 3 at its launch showing the original introduction to FFVII. This begs the question....why doesn't Square-Enix just go ahead and remake the infamous game? Considering how popular FFVII still is, even though it was released in the United States on the original Playstation way back on September 7th, 1997, I will look into the reasons as to why, and why it should not, be redone with today's technology. Get ready Glitchy Tasty readers, because here we go!
