Luxury Vacations: I had daunting preconceived notions of what the Maldives would be like. My mind had always envisioned Tiffany box blue water, creamy white sand, and islands shaded by oceans of palm fronds. My expectations for the Maldives were more than met at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, the second Maldives resort property of the Banyan Tree resort group.
Luxury Resorts: How does this tiny island keep so many travelers enthralled, thrilled and completely relaxed? That's the question that struck me when I arrived at Kanuhura, one of the Maldives' grandest resorts celebrating its 10th anniversary. I quickly learned Kanuhura is one dazzling spot, not only for its beauty, but also for its ability to spoil guests with countless delights.... Read More

A business in Northeast Portland surprised the teenage victim of a Vancouver hit and run crash with a new longboard Wednesday.
Matthew Skovorodin, 14, was hit by a van on Dec. 10 while riding his longboard with some friends in Vancouver. The driver only stopped for a few seconds then took off without checking to see if Skovorodin was OK, his friend said.
Skovorodin suffered a fractured wrist, some scrapes and scratches on his back, and had to have stitches put in his left ear.
Employees at Daddies Board Shop located at Northeast 80th and Columbia in Portland heard about what happened to him after FOX 12 aired a story about the crash. They were so moved, that they emailed FOX 12 and offered to replace Skovorodin's broken longboard for free.
Employees surprised Skovorodin with a new Landyachtz longboard at the shop on Wednesday night.
"Oh my God!" Skovorodin said after FOX 12 reporter Steve McCarron announced the surprise to him. "Wow! That's amazing."
Employees at Daddies Board Shop installed a certain type of wheel that will make it easier for Skovorodin to do tricks and slide to a stop, they said. They couldn't help but notice the smile on his face as they were putting everything together.
"It was so crazy. He was like so happy about this board. And it just made me really stoked for him, too," employee Eric Hoang said.
Once all the parts were in place, Skovorodin took his new Landyachtz longboard for a test ride around the shop.
"It feels awesome! Feels just like the other one," Skovorodin said.
Skovorodin said he's incredibly grateful for the surprise and can't thank the employees at Daddies Board Shop enough for his early Christmas gift.
"Just want to thank everybody who's been helping me through and stuff," Skovorodin said. "Best gift ever."
On top of Skovorodin's surprise, his parents said they both passed their citizenship tests Wednesday to become U.S. citizens.
Deputies still need the public's help to identify the driver who hit Skovorodin on Dec. 10. Skovorodin's friend said the man was driving a blue or gray minivan. He was bald or balding and possibly in his 30s or 40s, he said.
If you have any information about the case, call the Clark County Sheriff's Office.

With a legacy of over 35 years of business in the restaurant and nightlife industry, Palladium Restaurant and Lounge is the realization of Juliette and Louis Gomez, brother and sister duo revolutionizing the new age of fine dining and nightlife in New York City.
A sexy, luxurious, and chic venue, Palladium is perfect for an indulging dinner or a night out on the town during their swanky lounge hours. Diners and partygoers will experience a sophisticated bi-level venue, complete with seductive boudoirs, and sexy socials, as they are showered with upscale bottle service, taste global influences on American cuisine, and are waited on like royalty by a personal hostess!
While pursuing an MBA in Global Business Management, Juliette experienced the posh nightlife of South Beach Miami. Inspired by its upscale and trendy atmosphere, Juliette recognized a void in New York City nightlife. Sunday through Saturday, chic partygoers and socialites spent their nights as recurring clientele of select Miami hotspots, never underdressed and always on the guest list. Their frequent return to these particular venues was due to an inimitable experience that fulfilled their every desire and made them genuinely valued.
Returning to New York City, Juliette came together with Louis to develop a venue that would be both unique and memorable. A place where the client was key, and exclusive, posh entertainment sealed the experience. Seeking the assistance of Chef Carlos La Cruz, world-renowned TV Chef and restaurant connoisseur, they have created a venue where every day and night will be unlike any other. One of a kind, Palladium Restaurant and Lounge was born, priding itself in custom superior service for every client.
Palladium is an exclusive soft silver-white metal that was discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston, an English physicist and chemist. Named after the Pallas Asteroid with its etymology stemming from the Greek Goddess Pallas Athena, Palladium Restaurant and Lounge acquires its name for its inheritance of wisdom, and nobility, as well as its high exclusivity. Precious metals, stones, and Greek influences inspire this venue's décor. The Palladium brand and platinum theme appeal to clients as they are intrigued by the experience of "an escape from the world". Its signature harlequin featured on its logo is symbolism for great entertainment combined with quality service. Palladium's client-centric vision places every single patron as the center of attention. We pride ourselves in making every individual feel appreciated and valued. Palladium's amenities provide a "vacation" where clients will always have a desire to return.
Boasting six VIP areas with LED lighted tables: two near the main dance floor with custom-made art pieces by local artists, Palladium's signature harlequin, fourteen chandeliers, white sultry leather couches with metallic brick-exposed walls, and precious metal finishes; two stage VIP areas with custom-made luxury memory foam beds that mold to your body to provide comfort and relaxation, each designed with European fabric and custom granite tray tables laid at the center of each bed for service; a Mezzanine VIP area with white leather couches, a private dance floor, exhilarating views of the entire venue, and a Swarovski crystal curtain overlooking the bar; and a VIP area under one of two (floating) DJ booths, with custom-made art by local artists. The state features ambiance lighting, one of two DJ booths, leather walls, and silky curtains with custom-made art. Throughout the venue, you can also find custom chandeliers with silver precious metallic finishes, and platinum features.
Palladium highlights their incomparable entertainment as one of a kind. The experience includes two DJ booths spinning the finest music all night long (House, Trance, Techno, Top 40); sultry and seductive professional dance performances (including ballet, samba, flamenco, and Broadway influences) by Palladium's Harlequin Dance Company, DJ battles, Concerts, Fashion Shows, Special Events and a wide selection of After-Hours Entertainment and themed nights.
Palladium's lounge features a delectable selection of amuse-bouche specially crafted by Venezuelan Executive Chef Carlos La Cruz. Palladium's restaurant features a Modern Global influence on traditional American cuisine. Chef Carlos La Cruz has handpicked the finest and highest quality ingredients to be paired with a variety of signature drinks and cocktails. Wines, champagnes, and specialty drinks are also available by the glass or bottle. An exclusive Sangria cart with Sapphires travels the venue throughout the night while a special bartender creates Signature drinks made to order. All bartenders are trained with at least five years or more experience, and all drinks are made fresh to order. The dining room offers custom seating for up to 120 people.
Palladium's concept as an "escape from the world" provides a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere where individuals can connect, network, and celebrate life! Everyone is royalty. Our upscale treatment, extraordinary entertainment, exclusive décor, and incentives ensure that sexy socials, gorgeous bottle girls, and top of the line bartenders always fill the atmosphere. In addition, clients will always get the most value for their money spent. Palladium's Signature Rewards Club, a program created to reward frequent customers will launch in Early 2013.
Palladium also hosts 'The Elite' an exclusive invite-only membership club consisting of young professionals, celebrities, and socialites with special privileges and club access. Palladium is truly the ultimate venue New York City has been longing for.
Palladium will also feature Catering Facilities under the name of Gizelle, open to private parties and events.
Palladium Lounge opens to the public on October 26, 2012 at 11PM.
Palladium Restaurant and Gizelle Catering is slated for opening in Early 2013.
"Palladium will strive to leave a memorable impression by welcoming, serving, and thanking each and every one of our guests with the utmost genuine and personalized hospitality."

TOKYO--Tokyo stocks eked out a modest gain Thursday as enthusiasm for financial shares following strong earnings results from Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group helped offset disappointing numbers from Advantest, Canon, and others.
The Nikkei Stock Average added 24.71 points, or 0.2% to 11,138.66 following the prior day's 2.3% rise.
The Topix index of all the Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section issues also tacked on 5.58 points, or 0.6%, to 940.25, with 24 of 33 subindexes ending in positive territory.
Participation levels were strong, totaling 3.75 billion shares worth almost Y2.28 trillion.
The Nikkei traded in lackluster fashion from the outset, fluctuating above and below break-even for the entire session. The index was off 0.6% at the midday break.
"There weren't any salient trading cues left as expectations from the Bank of Japan and the Abe government are all but fully factored in now," said Norihiro Fujito, senior investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities. "Technicals show an abnormally overbought market, so unless additional yen-, earnings- or specific event-related inputs come to bear, the sledding looks tough for the Nikkei beyond 11,100."
"Domestic institutions seem bent on unloading shares above the 11,000 mark on the Nikkei, but overseas investors, including cash- and long-only buyers, are still active," said an equity trading director at a foreign brokerage. "The prevailing view for the dollar is now for it to rise to Y95, perhaps by end-March."
Disappointing December Japan industrial output data, released before the opening bell, as well as the earlier 0.1% fall in U.S. quarterly GDP, were not seen adversely affecting stocks.
Financials were in the spotlight from the start after Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group's announcement of a cumulative first-through-third quarter consolidated net profit of Y550 billion. The figure represented a 34% on-year rise, slightly beating expectations closer to Y500 billion.
SMFG shares subsequently surged 5.2% to Y3,670, stoking buying in its rivals as well. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group added 3.6% to Y521, while Mizuho Financial Group gained 2.8% to Y183.
Nomura Holdings and Daiwa Securities Group led brokerages higher, adding 2.2% to Y526 and 4.8% to Y531, respectively.
Steel and paper shares also saw strong bids, with JFE Holdings rising 4.8% to Y1,949 and Oji Paper climbing 5.0% to Y296. Oji and its peers benefited from a Nikkei report that the company is likely to have upped its group operating profit by about 20% on-year to nearly Y19 billion in the October-December quarter, helped in part by a weaker yen.
The performances offset weakness in yen sensitive exporters, particularly those hurt by poor earnings figures. Advantest slipped 1.8% to Y1,241 after releasing third quarter results showing an operating loss of Y2.6 billion. The company also slashed its full fiscal year guidance to Y2.5 billion from its earlier view of Y6 billion to Y16 billion.
Canon also fell 0.6% to Y3,365 after reporting a full fiscal year operating profit of Y323.9 billion, well below the Y356.0 billion forecast by management and the street consensus.
Nintendo lost 4.6% to Y8,920 after posting an operating profit for the October-December quarter of Y23.3 billion, below the Y32.6 billion consensus estimate, as weak Wii-U and 3DS sales flagged. The firm also cut its full year guidance to a Y20 billion operating loss, down from a Y20 billion operating profit estimate.
March Nikkei 225 futures closed up 10 points, or 0.1%, to 11,110 on the Osaka Securities Exchange.

Ice Flower (Revision 1274)
Edit Page Last Edit: 1 year 8 months ago
The Ice Flower is a power-up found in New Super Mario Bros. U. It allows Mario to shoot balls of ice, freezing enemies. Enemies frozen underwater will float to the surface, creating makeshift platforms for Mario. Frozen enemies can be picked up and thrown. They will slide across the ground taking out other enemies, similar to a shell. When the frozen enemy hits a wall or platform, it will shatter.

Fantasy News
LaRon Byrd - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 225lbs
News: They Browns have claimed Byrd on waivers from the Cowboys, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Byrd rounds out a Browns' wideout corps that currently rosters Miles Austin, Andrew Hawkins, Travis Benjamin and Taylor Gabriel. The composition of the unit is hardly set in stone, however, as the team looks for answers at the position in the wake of Josh Gordon's suspension being upheld.
News: Skrine (thumb) will play in Sunday's opener against the Steelers, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: The cornerback has been dealing with a thumb injury and underwent surgery in mid-August. He made a quick recovery and returned to practice last week. With Joe Haden and Justin Gilbert likely slotted in as Cleveland's top two corners, Skrine will see action as the third cornerback.
Charles Johnson - #80 - Wide Receiver - 6'2" - 215lbs
News: The Browns have waived Johnson, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: The move frees up a roster spot for fellow wideout LaRon Byrd, who was claimed off waivers by the Browns on Sunday.
Rex Grossman - #3 - Quarterback - 6'1" - 225lbs
News: The Browns have released Grossman, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Grossman was never in the Browns' starting conversation to begin with, and the team will thus roll with a QB duo of Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel.
Glenn Winston - Running back - 6'1" - 220lbs
News: The Browns have reportedly claimed Winston off waivers from the 49ers, Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com reports.
Impact: Winston was waived by the 49ers on Saturday, but the team's hopes to add Winston to their practice squad were thwarted by the move. Winston presumably slots in behind Ben Tate, Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell in the Browns' backfield mix.
Sat. Aug 30, 2014 | STATS
News: The Browns released Burleson and running backs Dion Lewis and Chris Ogbonnaya to get to the 53-player roster limit.
Impact: Burleson was slowed by a hamstring injury during training camp and missed three preseason games.
Marlon Moore - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 190lbs
News: Moore has been suspended for the first game of the season, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Brown wasn't listed on the 53-man roster, but that's apparently because he's suspended, which means he actually made the team. While likely fifth or sixth on the depth chart, Moore at least finds himself on a team with minimal talent at wide receiver. He caught six passes for the Dolphins in each of three seasons (2010, 2012 and 2013), and his skill set is nothing to get excited about. A former undrafted free agent, Moore is a bit undersized with solid but unspectacular speed.
Isaiah Crowell - #34 - Running back - 5'11" - 225lbs
News: With Dion Lewis and Chris Ogbonnaya both released, Crowell is in line to serve as the Browns' No. 3 running back, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Crowell, an undrafted former five-star recruit, was quiet for most of the preseason before exploding for 102 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries in Thursday's finale against the Bears. He'll open the season behind both Ben Tate and Terrance West, but there is some deep league appeal, in light of Tate's injury history and West's poor showing this preseason.
Chris Ogbonnaya - #25 - Running back - 6'0" - 225lbs
News: Ogbonnaya has been released by the Browns, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Impact: With Dion Lewis also cut earlier in the day, rookie running back Isaiah Crowell now slots in as the team's No. 3 running back for the time being. Ogbonnaya, who has the versatility to play running back or fullback, should find reserve backfield work once the roster cut-down dust settles.
News: Burleson (hamstring) has been released by the Browns, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Impact: Hamstring woes slowed Burleson in the preseason and the veteran wideout was deemed expendable by the Browns, presumably leaving the team on the lookout for wideout help in the coming days, with Josh Gordon's suspension having been confirmed earlier in the week.
Dion Lewis - #28 - Running back - 5'8" - 195lbs
News: Lewis has been cut by the Browns, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: With Lewis, who carried 12 times for 30 yards in the preseason, no longer in the mix, it appears as though Isaiah Crowell -- who looked sharp in the team's preseason finale -- is now a candidate to claim a reserve slot in the Browns' backfield behind Ben Tate and Terrance West.
News: Burleson (hamstring) caught one pass on two targets for 27 yards in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears.
Impact: Making his preseason debut, Burleson was able to get involved, working primarily with Johnny Manziel and the second-team offense. He hauled in another pass which was eventually called back due to an illegal formation penalty. He seems to be a near-lock to make the team at this point, and could help pick up some of the targets suspended wideout Josh Gordon leaves behind.
Taylor Gabriel - #18 - Wide Receiver - 5'8" - 167lbs
News: Gabriel hauled in two passes for 38 yards on five targets in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears.
Impact: Both of Gabriel's receptions came on the Browns' opening drive with starting quarterback Brian Hoyer at the helm. His name will still surely come up in roster discussions, but the fact that he worked with the first-team offense does nothing but help his case for a spot. The undrafted free agent will likely move to the practice squad if not awarded a spot on the 53-man roster.
News: Tate gained eight yards on three carries with a touchdown in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears.
Impact: Tate only saw work on one drive with Brian Hoyer and the first-team offense, and after scoring at the goal line, he didn't see another snap. His main running back competition -- rookie Terrance West -- did little to impress, gaining only 13 yards on six carries and losing a fumble. Tate remains the unquestioned starter heading into Week 1, but the real concern here is his durability, as he's missed at least one game in each of his three NFL seasons, including seven total over the past two years.
News: Hoyer completed 6-of-8 passes for 69 yards in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears.
Impact: Hoyer led the Browns to a Ben Tate touchdown on his only drive of the game before giving way to backup Johnny Manziel. It was surely a relief for Browns fans that Hoyer was able to look sharp for once this preseason, and he remains the unquestioned starter heading into Week 1 at Pittsburgh. Manziel also showed flashes of potential in this game (although he completed just 6-of-17 passes), and could end up being used by the team in special offensive packages. It's unclear exactly what coach Mike Pettine has planned for the backup, but Hoyer should hang on to the starting job until he proves otherwise.
Isaiah Crowell - #34 - Running back - 5'11" - 225lbs
News: Crowell carried the ball 13 times for 102 yards and a 48-yard touchdown run in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears.
Impact: Crowell had been a name on the roster bubble, as he failed to record a carry in the Browns' penultimate preseason tilt against the Rams. He certainly did nothing to hurt his case for a roster spot Thursday, becoming the Browns' first 100-yard rusher of the preseason. His roster spot is still no guarantee, however, as the Browns will keep Ben Tate and Terrance West as their primary backs, with Chris Ogbonnaya and Dion Lewis seemingly in line to make the team as well. Cleveland will surely try to keep Crowell on the practice squad if they do end up cutting him, but it seems likely he'd be scooped up by another squad looking for help in the backfield.
News: Cameron (shoulder) could elevate to the Browns' new top offensive target in the absence of Josh Gordon, the teams' official site reports.
Impact: Cameron was effective last season when Gordon was there to deflect attention, but he'll have an even bigger challenge ahead of him as Cleveland's new top pass-catching threat. The Browns' wide receiver depth chart looks pretty weak without Gordon, as it's left with the perpetually injured Miles Austin and the 5-foot-7 Andrew Hawkins to occupy the top two spots. Due to the dire wideout situation, the 6-foot-5 Cameron could see even more targets than the 118 he warranted when he earned a trip to the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2013. If he's able to overcome the increased double-team pressure, Cameron could end up as one of the top fantasy tight ends in 2014. A slightly banged up shoulder may keep him out of the Browns' final exhibition game, but look for Brian Hoyer to constantly be looking his way in the Browns' Week 1 matchup against the Steelers.
News: Manziel completed 6-of-17 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown, adding four carries for 55 yard with a fumble in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears.
Impact: It was an up-and-down performance for Manziel, who led the Browns to 13 points on five drives, despite losing one of those drives to a Terrance West fumble. Brian Hoyer, meanwhile, completed 6-of-8 passes for 69 yards on his lone drive, leading the Browns to a touchdown. Manziel didn't have a great preseason, but he was decent enough that the Browns will likely turn in his direction if Hoyer struggles for an extended stretch of time.
Terrance West - #20 - Running back - 5'10" - 225lbs
News: West gained 13 yards on six carries and lost a fumble during Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears.
Impact: Hyped as a possible threat to Ben Tate's workload, West turned in a miserable preseason, and can consider himself lucky that the Browns have no proven depth behind him. While the rookie still figures to enter the season as Cleveland's top backup, Tate figures to get the bulk of the touches in what could be an ugly offense.
Andrew Hawkins - #16 - Wide Receiver - 5'7" - 180lbs
News: Hawkins is listed as the starting wideout in place of Josh Gordon for Thursday's preseason finale, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Hawkins will start his second straight preseason game opposite Miles Austin, suggesting that the starting job may be his for their Week 1 matchup against the Steelers. Despite his small 5-foot-7 stature, he's been able to impress the coaching staff during camp, and figures to be in line for a much more prominent role in the offense in the absence of Gordon. No need to reach too greatly for a guy like Hawkins in fantasy drafts, but if needed, he may end up a serviceable WR3, especially in PPR formats.
Thu. Aug 28, 2014 | STATS
News: A person familiar with Josh Gordon's situation says the suspended wide receiver wants to play in the Canadian Football League, but is prohibited from doing so.
Impact: Under CFL rules, a player suspended by the NFL and under contract is not eligible to play in Canada. But of the Cleveland Browns released Gordon, he would be able to play elsewhere.
Miles Austin - #19 - Wide Receiver - 6'2" - 215lbs
News: Austin is in line to serve as the Browns' No. 1 wide receiver, with teammate Josh Gordon's suspension having been upheld, the Browns' official site reports.
Impact: Meanwhile, in the absence of Gordon, tight end Jordan Cameron is in line to see plenty of looks, but for those inclined to role the dice on a Cleveland wideout at this stage, Austin and slot man Andrew Hawkins (more so in PPR formats) are the logical targets, though given the team's evolving QB situation, they both remain speculative picks.
Isaiah Crowell - #34 - Running back - 5'11" - 225lbs
News: Crowell appears to be on the Browns' roster bubble in advance of the team's final cut-downs, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: The report suggests that the backfield jobs of Ben Tate, rookie Terrance West and Dion Lewis appear safe, adding that if Crowell doesn't make the cut, he'd be candidate for the Browns' practice squad, assuming he isn't claimed by another team.
News: Gordon, who had his season-long NFL suspension upheld on Wednesday, is not eligible to play in the Canadian Football League, according to ESPN.com.
Impact: Under CFL rules, because Gordon remains under contract with the Browns, he is not eligible to play in the league. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Plain Dealer relays via one unnamed source that Gordon's legal team is believed to be considering all of its legal options with regard to the wideout's season-long suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. In any case, per his suspension, Gordon is currently not permitted to practice with the Browns or attend meetings or team functions, with the report adding that upon completion of the 2014 season, the NFL will determine when the wideout is eligible to apply for reinstatement.
Wed. Aug 27, 2014 | STATS
News: Gordon has been suspended by the NFL one year for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Gordon's suspension is effective immediately and he will miss the entire 2014 season. He will have to apply for reinstatement following the season.
Impact: Gordon had appealed his yearlong suspension and met with a league arbitrator in New York on Aug. 4. Arbitrator Harold Henderson upheld the suspension. The Browns have been waiting four months for a resolution on Gordon's case. The 23-year-old led the league with 1,646 yards receiving last season despite being suspended the first two games for a failed drug test. He became the first player in league history to record consecutive 200-yard games.
Wed. Aug 27, 2014 | RotoWire
News: Gordon has been suspended for one year by the NFL for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Albert Breer report.
Impact: Per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, with the league's ruling on the matter having now been upheld on appeal, Gordon will be eligible to apply for reinstatement with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell one year from now. Gordon's 2014 fantasy utility is obviously gone with the news, unless he were able to sue the NFL for an injunction, staying the suspension. If Gordon declines to file suit, or the court rejects it, you can safely drop him, but otherwise wait a couple days until his legal options have been ruled out.
Glenn Winston - Running back - 6'1" - 220lbs
News: After his impressive day on the ground Sunday and the recent release of Jewel Hampton, Winston has a strong chance to make the 49ers' practice squad this season, CSN Bay Area reports.
Impact: Winston ran for 58 yards and a touchdown on just eight carries against the Chargers last Sunday, and that performance caught management's eyes and made fellow back Hampton expendable. While Winston won't have an immediate impact on the field, the undrafted rookie is a strong candidate to be stashed on the practice squad.
Anthony Armstrong - #86 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 185lbs
News: Armstrong was cut by the Browns on Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Armstrong, 31, was attempting a comeback after sitting out the 2013 season, but his limited production in three exhibitions (three catches, 17 yards) resulted in his release. Given the weakness of the Browns' receiving corps relative to that of other teams, Armstrong could have difficulty finding work with another team.
Tue. Aug 26, 2014 | STATS
News: The attorney for Josh Gordon says the Cleveland Browns receiver's hearing on a drunken-driving charge in North Carolina has been rescheduled for November.
Impact: Gordon was due to appear in Wake County court Tuesday on charges of driving while impaired and speeding. Attorney Trey Fitzhugh says Gordon had a waiver to miss the pretrial appearance and the case is continued until Nov. 18.
News: Burleson (hamstring) will play in Thursday's preseason finale, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Burleson returned to practice Monday after missing the entire preseason thus far due to a hamstring injury. That time off could put Burleson on the Browns' roster bubble, although his veteran presence could come in handy given the uncertainty surrounding Josh Gordon's pending suspension.
News: Gordon's hearing on a drunken driving charge stemming from a July arrest in North Carolina has been rescheduled for November 18th, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Gordon was granted a waiver that allowed him to miss Tuesday's scheduled appearance in Wake County court on charges of driving while impaired and speeding. While the wideout remained in Cleveland, his attorney was able to get Gordon's case continued until mid-November. With that situation set to unfold later this year, Gordon is currently still awaiting a ruling on his appeal of a pending season-long suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse program.
News: Cameron (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Cameron was excused from Monday's practice for an unspecified reason but appears to be okay and is practicing again. Despite dealing with a sprained AC shoulder joint, he has played in both of the last two preseason games and doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Week 1.
News: Coach Mike Pettine indicated that he expects Cameron (unspecified issue) to be back at practice Tuesday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Pettine relayed Monday that Cameron is "dealing with an issue," but didn't specify whether the issue was injury-related. Back on Aug. 2, Cameron suffered a sprained AC shoulder joint, but it's an issue that didn't prevent the tight end from playing in the Browns' last two preseason contests. Most recently, Cameron caught two passes for 18 yards against the Rams on Saturday.
News: Skrine (thumb) should be able to practice this weekend, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Skrine underwent thumb surgery just last Monday, but coach Mike Pettine already thinks the cornerback will be able to return to practice this weekend. With Skrine out recently, rookie Justin Gilbert has moved into Cleveland's starting defense opposite Joe Haden (foot). Additionally, with Haden slated to miss Thursday's preseason finale, Gilbert will get added work as a first-teamer before the regular season. As a result, Skrine will probably begin the season as the Browns' No. 3 cornerback, assuming he's able to be cleared to play ahead of Week 1.
News: Cameron (shoulder) wasn't present at Monday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Cameron sprained the AC joint in his shoulder earlier in the preseason and has since missed practice time here and there because of it. Nonetheless, he's played in Cleveland's past two exhibition games, and no setback has been reported, so Monday could be purely a maintenance day for the tight end.
News: Burleson (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland reports.
Impact: Burleson has missed all three of the Browns' preseason games thus far due to a hamstring issue. However, with the regular season quickly approaching and Cleveland still awaiting a ruling regarding Josh Gordon's potential suspension, Burleson's return to action represents a welcome sight. The veteran projects to be a Top 4 receiver for the Browns this season.
Edwin Baker - #27 - Running back - 5'8" - 210lbs
News: Baker (hamstring) was cut by the Browns on Monday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Baker was handed 43 carries last season but fell down the Browns' pecking order amid the additions of fellow running backs Ben Tate and Terrance West this offseason, as well as Dion Lewis returning from last season's broken leg. Additionally, a recent hamstring injury further reduced Baker's chances of making Cleveland's roster, especially with Isaiah Crowell and Chris Ogbonnaya around to provide depth. The 23-year-old Baker will now hit the free-agent market and hope to land elsewhere for the upcoming season.
News: Gordon did not play in Saturday's preseason game because he couldn't get loose, not for any disciplinary reason, ESPN reports. Meanwhile, Gordon continues to wait for an appeal on his potential year-long suspension for marijuana use that he argues was a result of second-hand smoke.
Impact: One theory as to why the appeal is dragging on for so long was offered by Dawg Pound Nation, a Browns blog, which speculated that the arbitrator may be stalling to give the NFL time to settle with Gordon's legal team. If Gordon's team is confident in its chances, it could have refused to settle thus far, putting the NFL in a tough spot. Because the arbitrator must make an all-or-nothing ruling, the NFL risks getting no suspension if it doesn't settle, and even a 16-game suspension is probably not optimal from a public-relations standpoint, given Ray Rice's two-game ban for a much more serious offense. Moreover, even if Gordon loses, he might have grounds to sue the NFL in the state of Ohio to stop the enforcement of the suspension. In which case, it would make sense for the NFL to seek a settlement and for Gordon's camp to look for no suspension or a very short one. No matter how logical, it's only a theory, and until we have a verdict, drafters will have to speculate on Gordon's availability.
Glenn Winston - Running back - 6'1" - 220lbs
News: Winston had a big day on the ground Sunday, collecting 58 yards and a touchdown on just eight carries in the win over the Chargers.
Impact: The performance was nice, but it has to be taken with a grain of salt, as it came late in the game against San Diego's backups. Winston is still buried on the depth chart, so a spot on the 53-man roster is unlikely; however, he may have earned himself one the team's 10 practice squad spots this season.
Billy Cundiff - #8 - Kicker - 6'1" - 212lbs
News: Cundiff is 5-for-6 on field goals with a long of 43 yards over the Browns' first three preseason games.
Impact: Cundiff has been effective in the kicking game, with his only miss coming at a distance of greater than 50 yards. He'll be a serviceable fantasy kicker in 2014, especially if the Browns' offense sputters in the red zone. Cundiff is also a perfect 4-for-4 on extra point attempts.
Sun. Aug 24, 2014 | STATS
News: Cleveland coach Mike Pettine says Josh Gordon did not play in the Browns' last exhibition game because the team is preparing to be without the All-Pro wide receiver for at least part of the season. Gordon is waiting to hear from the NFL regarding his appeal of a possible yearlong suspension for again violating the league's substance-abuse program.
Impact: Gordon has been practicing and playing for weeks amid uncertainty about his career. Asked on Sunday why Gordon did not play in Saturday night's 33-14 loss to St. Louis, Pettine said: "We're fairly certain that we're not going to have him for a minimum of some part of the year. We wanted to make sure that we were getting repetitions with the guys that are going to be out there early."
Dion Lewis - #28 - Running back - 5'8" - 195lbs
News: Coach Mike Pettine noted that Lewis has opened up an edge in the battle for the Browns' No. 3 running back job, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Impact: Lewis received just three carries in the Browns' third preseason contest, but his eight yards on the ground were actually good enough for second on the team. Only Terrance West had more carries (seven) than Lewis, but West turned those carries into just 17 yards. The Browns also like Lewis' ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, and he showed prowess in this part of his game Saturday by catching two passes for 10 yards. The battle is still far from over, but at this point, Lewis seems to be edging out Isaiah Crowell and Chris Ogbonnaya for one of the final running back jobs with the team. This won't translate to much fantasy value out of the gates, but if something were to happen injury-wise to either Ben Tate or Terrance West, Lewis could be in line for more meaningful regular season snaps.
Andrew Hawkins - #16 - Wide Receiver - 5'7" - 180lbs
News: Hawkins started Saturday's preseason game against the Rams, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: While thought of as a slot receiver, Hawkins may end up starting in two-wide sets, as he did Saturday night. Nate Burleson (hamstring) has yet to play this preseason, and Josh Gordon (abdomen) is still waiting on the final word regarding a possible long-term suspension. Also, a healthy Burleson wouldn't necessarily get the nod over Hawkins. Extra snaps would of course be a positive for Hawkins' value, which is quite a bit higher in PPR leagues. He caught five passes for 36 yards and a touchdown on five targets Saturday against the Rams, carrying an otherwise lifeless offense. As odd is it is to say this about a 5-7 receiver, Hawkins could emerge as the Browns' go-to guy sans-Gordon, though Miles Austin is also a candidate. Austin is the bigger player, but at this point in their respective careers, Hawkins is the better one.
Miles Austin - #19 - Wide Receiver - 6'2" - 215lbs
News: Austin caught two passes for 23 yards on six targets in Saturday's game against the Rams.
Impact: With Josh Gordon (abdomen) and Nate Burleson (hamstring) sitting out, Austin and Andrew Hawkins worked as the first-team receivers in two-wide sets. Hawkins may not have that role to open the season, but he's a safe bet to play a big part in the offense. Austin, meanwhile, may be the No. 1 wide receiver by default, with Gordon likely facing a suspension to start the season. Austin's hands have looked shaky this preseason, but his health has surprisingly been a non-issue. Brian Hoyer has not looked good, and Johnny Manziel hasn't been much, if any, better.
News: Manziel completed 10-of-15 passes for 85 yards, adding one carry for a seven-yard touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams.
Impact: Working strictly with the second-team offense, Manziel didn't have much success throwing the ball, though he did scramble for a touchdown on third-and-goal from the seven-yard line after turning a defender around with a pump fake. Brian Hoyer once again struggled with the first-team offense, but head coach Mike Pettine committed to the veteran as his Week 1 starter following the game, NFL.com's Aditi Kinkhabwala reports. It remains to be seen how long Hoyer will keep the job, as he isn't particularly talented, and won't be in a good position to succeed if Josh Gordon is suspended. After mentioning a possible two-QB system earlier this week, Pettine reiterated Saturday that he first wants the team to build continuity with Hoyer. Manziel probably won't take a snap in Week 1.
News: Gordon didn't take the field Saturday against the Rams due to an abdominal concern, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: The injury that kept Gordon out of practice earlier in camp continues to rear its ugly head. While he awaits word on his appeal of a full season ban due to a second failed drug test, he isn't exactly pulling his weight on the field, and the blame seems to be placed upon his abdomen. In any case, he's a high-risk, high-reward selection in fantasy when healthy and active, which hasn't been the case too often since training camp opened.
Terrance West - #20 - Running back - 5'10" - 225lbs
News: West had 17 yards on seven carries in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams.
Impact: Ben Tate didn't do any better, gaining just five yards on three carries in a fairly brief appearance. The veteran figures to get most of the early-season work, but it won't be surprising if West's role grows throughout the year.
News: Tate gained five yards on three carries in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams.
Impact: Terrance West didn't fare any better and hasn't done enough to displace Tate from the starting role. However, the rookie looms as a threat to eat into Tate's workload, which should be pretty significant early in the season. While he figures to touch the ball rather frequently, Tate may be taking a lot of those touches deep in his own territory, as the Cleveland offense has been awful this preseason.
News: Hoyer completed 10-of-16 passes for 84 yards, with one touchdown and one interception in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams.
Impact: Three days after being named as the starter, Hoyer continued to have a poor preseason, with his lousy passing line complemented by two sacks and a lost fumble. Though he'll likely handle at least the first two or three games, Hoyer probably won't have a particularly long leash to work with, and his odds of succeeding aren't good. Assuming Josh Gordon is in fact suspended, Cleveland will open the season with perhaps the worst group of wideouts in the league. The Browns also lack a strong receiving threat at running back, though TE Jordan Cameron is undoubtedly a bright spot. Hoyer managed not to fall flat on his face in two starts last season, but it's hard to imagine him successfully putting this team on his back.
Joe Haden - #23 - Cornerback - 5'11" - 195lbs
News: Haden is missing Saturday's preseason tilt due to a foot injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Impact: The extent of the ailment is unknown, but Haden's absence is a bit troubling with two weeks remaining before the regular season kicks off. However, in four NFL campaigns, the stud cornerback has picked off 13 passes, while recording between 51 and 65 tackles per season.
News: Burleson (hamstring) won't play Saturday against the Rams, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Burleson's absence continues, marking his third DNP of the preseason in as many games. Once he's cleared for action, he'll help cover for Josh Gordon, who is awaiting word on his possible season-long suspension. However, Burleson is coming off back-to-back injury-plagued seasons in which he logged time in just 15 games, recording 66 catches (on 97 targets) for 701 yards and three touchdowns.
Fri. Aug 22, 2014 | STATS
News: A person familiar with the penalty says Manziel has been fined $12,000 by the NFL for flipping his middle finger at Washington's sideline.
Impact: The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Friday because the ruling has not been made public.
Fri. Aug 22, 2014 | RotoWire
News: Coach Mike Pettine indicated Friday morning that it's possible Manziel could be featured in a two-QB set "down the road," NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.
Impact: Manziel was relegated to backup duties when the Browns officially made the announcement Wednesday morning, but that doesn't mean he won't see meaningful snaps. He'll likely be used mostly in designed run sets, but could occasionally be used to air it out and take the defense by surprise. Until Manziel takes over the starting job, however, this body of work probably won't be enough to warrant much fantasy consideration outside of dynasty formats.
Fri. Aug 22, 2014 | RotoWire
News: Coach Mike Pettine indicated Friday morning that Hoyer could be featured in a two-quarterback system "down the road," NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.
Impact: Hoyer was announced as the Browns' starting quarterback Wednesday morning, and the veteran is expected to take the field Week 1 against the Steelers. However, the athletic ability of backup Johnny Manziel is tough to ignore, so Pettine wouldn't rule out using a two-QB system at some point this season. Manziel would mostly be used for designed runs in this scenario, so it shouldn't cut drastically into Hoyer's production.
Christian Kirksey - #58 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 235lbs
News: Kirksey is line to split first-team reps with Craig Robertson, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Kirksey continues a tough battle with veteran Craig Robertson for the starting inside linebacker job alonside Karlos Dansby, but coach Mike Pettine has indicated that he views both of the players as starters. As a result, the player on the field at a given moment will be dependent on the specific personnel package that is required for the current situation. This platoon-like plan doesn't bode well for either players' outlook as an IDP.
Craig Robertson - #53 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 234lbs
News: Robertson is line to split first-team reps with rookie Chris Kirksey, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Robertson and Kirksey are viewed by coach Mike Pettine as "both starters," and as a result, the playing time will depend on the personnel grouping in the given situation. This doesn't bode well for either players' outlook as an IDP.
Justin Gilbert - #21 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 202lbs
News: Gilbert is "likely" to lock down the starting cornerback job opposite Joe Haden, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Gilbert has been seeing increased first-team reps with Buster Skrine week-to-week with a thumb injury, and has a chance to secure the job if he continues to play well. Coach Mike Pettine stated that Gilbert "played extremely well" in the team's second preseason contest against the Redskins on Monday. He seems to be over the standard rookie butterflies, and was able to put his skill set on display against a talented group of Washington receivers.
John Greco - #77 - Guard - 6'4" - 315lbs
News: Greco is expected to start at right guard ahead of Garrett Gilkey, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Greco spent time on the non-football injury list early in camp, but has since passed his conditioning test, as was active for the team's first two preseason games. Joel Bitonio is expected to grab the starting guard spot opposite Greco, while Pro Bowler Alex Mack starts at center to round out the interior line.
Edwin Baker - #27 - Running back - 5'8" - 210lbs
News: Baker (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Baker did not carry the ball in the Browns' exhibition game with the Redskins on Monday night, and had previously been fourth in line at practice to receive carries. Now with a new injury, the 23-year-old may be in jeopardy of not making the final roster cut, despite receiving 43 carries last season.
Desmond Bryant - #92 - Defensive End - 6'6" - 310lbs
News: Bryant underwent wrist surgery Wednesday, leaving his status for the season opener in question, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Bryant remains without an exact timetable for return, but the Browns did say he won't be placed on injured reserve, so an early-season return seems likely. If he's unable to suit up for the Week 1 matchup against the Steelers, look for Phil Taylor to get the start, with Armonty Bryant to see increased work on the defensive line.
Wed. Aug 20, 2014 | STATS
News: Manziel will begin the season as the backup to Brian Hoyer.
Impact: Coach Mike Pettine delayed his decision after both Hoyer and Manziel played poorly in a 24-23 exhibition loss at Washington on Monday. During that game, Manziel gave the finger to the Redskins sideline, an act Pettine said would be factored into the decision. Manziel will likely be fined by the league for his gesture.
Wed. Aug 20, 2014 | STATS
News: Hoyer will open the season as Cleveland's starting quarterback after winning his summer competition over rookie Johnny Manziel.
Impact: Browns coach Mike Pettine picked Hoyer over Manziel to start the Sept. 7 at Pittsburgh, finally ending a competition that dragged through the summer. Hoyer is the choice for now, but the real test for him will be how long he keeps it from Manziel.
News: Benjamin (ribs) was present at practice Wednesday, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Benjamin left Monday night's preseason game with a ribs injury, but as expected, the ailment's minor nature allowed the wideout to practice as usual Tuesday. Given his normal involvement, Benjamin should be good to go for Saturday's third preseason game and moving forward into the regular season.
News: Brian Hoyer was named the Browns' starting quarterback Wednesday morning over Manziel by coach Mike Pettine, ESPN reports.
Impact: The team sounds like it will give Hoyer a bit of a leash as Pettine said he doesn't want the veteran constantly looking over his shoulder, but we have to imagine Hoyer - and maybe the Browns as well - has to be mildly successful to keep the team from firing up the Manziel era. That said, given the rebuilding nature of the team and Manziel's exciting skill set, he has to be one of the better backup fantasy values on the QB board. However, his opening season value just took a hit Wednesday morning.
News: Hoyer was named the Browns' starting quarterback Wednesday morning by coach Mike Pettine, ESPN reports.
Impact: The team sounds like it will give Hoyer a bit of a leash as Pettine said he doesn't want the veteran constantly looking over his shoulder, but we have to imagine Hoyer - and maybe the Browns as well - has to be mildly successful to keep the team from firing up the Johnny Manziel era.
Tue. Aug 19, 2014 | RotoWire
News: The rib injury Benjamin suffered Monday does not appear serious, according to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon-Journal.
Impact: Head coach Mike Pettine said he thinks Benjamin is "OK," so it does not appear he is facing a long-term absence. However, it remains to be seen how the injury will affect his status moving forward.
News: Cameron (shoulder) was held without a catch on three targets in Monday's preseason contest against the Redskins.
Impact: Cameron suffered from a bit of miscommunication, in addition to a few poor throws Monday, but don't look too far into this stat line. The 6-5 target will continue to get his fair share of looks in the regular season, regardless of who ends up winning the quarterback job. More importantly, the minor shoulder injury he's been dealing with didn't appear to be a factor in this performance.
Terrance West - #20 - Running back - 5'10" - 225lbs
News: West gained 31 yards on eight carries in Monday's exhibition game against the Redskins.
Impact: West worked primarily with the second-team offense in this one and was slightly outplayed by starter Ben Tate, who averaged 5.1 yards per carry. The rookie out of Towson will have to earn his way to meaningful carries and should see plenty of opportunities to showcase his skill set in the final two preseason games. West doesn't appear to be a major threat to cut into Tate's workload just yet, but more time to get acquainted with the offensive scheme can only help his cause.
News: Tate carried the ball 10 times for a total of 51 yards in Monday's preseason game against the Redskins.
Impact: Tate was effective in the running game, something the Browns will surely have to count on considering the dismal quarterback play of late. He out-shined the No. 2 back -- Terrance West -- who collected just 31 yards on eight carries of his own. Tate both looked and played like the veteran in this one and continues to be the projected starter heading into the season.
News: Gordon (suspension) caught one pass for eight yards on five targets in Monday's preseason game against the Redskins.
Impact: Gordon was unable to put up strong numbers from a statistical standpoint but surprisingly remained in the game through the fourth quarter, even when quarterback Connor Shaw was at the helm. The Browns are preparing for him to be suspended for the better part of the first half -- if not the whole season -- so they likely want to get him as many reps as possible while they can. He appears to be over the abdominal injury that limited him in practice this past week and should expect to see heavy reps in the team's final two preseason contests.
News: Hoyer completed just 2-of-6 passes for 16 yards in Monday's preseason game against the Redskins.
Impact: After the game, Hoyer stated that his performance "probably couldn't have been any worse." He received the starting nod but was unable to lead the Browns to a touchdown for the second straight preseason game. His main competitor -- Johnny Manziel -- received significantly more reps, but much of that time came with the second team, and the rookie didn't even complete 50 percent of his passes. The Browns coaching staff is expected to sit down and name a starting quarterback for Week 1 on Tuesday, but neither of their options have truly excelled at this point. If a starter does end up being confirmed after the meeting, Hoyer will likely have the edge by default. However, it remains a possibility that coach Mike Pettine pushes back the decision, with the intention of collecting more film on both options.
Mon. Aug 18, 2014 | STATS
News: Manziel went 2 for 7 for 29 yards in the first half of the Cleveland Browns' exhibition game against the Washington Redskins on Monday night. He also raised the middle finger of his right hand as he jogged away from the Washington sideline late in the third quarter.
Impact: Browns coach Mike Pettine has said he plans to announce his regular-season QB on Tuesday. Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner and 2014 first-round draft pick, and Brian Hoyer each played two possessions against Washington's first-team defense - going a combined 2 for 9, with two sacks and zero points.
News: Manziel completed 7-of-16 passes for 65 yards and one touchdown, while adding one rush for negative one yard in Monday's preseason game against the Redskins.
Impact: This was likely one of Manziel's last chances to deserve he should be the starting quarterback in Cleveland, and he did little to prove that he should be No. 1 on the depth chart. Although he didn't turn the ball over, he was sacked three times and was unable to work much magic with his legs. The rookie did throw a touchdown to running back Dion Lewis, but it was on a short pass in which the back did most of the work. Manziel also made noise for the wrong reasons, as an obscene gesture toward the Washington bench quickly caught fire on social media and will surely be a main topic of conversation this week. His main competition -- Brian Hoyer -- completed just 2-of-6 passes for 16 yards, but with neither candidate truly standing out, it now appears that Hoyer will win the job by default. The Cleveland coaching staff is expected to get together at some point Tuesday to officially announce the Week 1 starter, and Manziel's chances currently aren't looking good. There may still be time left in the preseason for a turnaround, but he'd have to perform drastically better if he's even going to be considered.
News: Updating a previous report, Benjamin has passed all concussion tests but will sit for the remainder of Monday's game with a rib injury.
Impact: Benjamin will sit the rest of the exhibition game as a precaution but appears to have avoided a head injury that would have kept him out of action for at least a week. The Browns have a quick turnaround and will already play again Saturday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him given the preseason game off to rest.
News: Benjamin left Monday's game to be evaluated for a concussion.
Impact: It's currently unclear when Benjamin suffered the hit, but he'll be evaluated on the sidelines to see if a concussion was sustained. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, he'll likely sit in the Browns penultimate exhibition contest set for Saturday against the Rams. The timing is poor for Benjamin, who had gradually been seeing his role in the Cleveland offense grow.
Justin Gilbert - #21 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 202lbs
News: Updating a previous report, Gilbert did not sustain an injury in the second quarter of Monday's exhibition game, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Gilbert appeared to be getting checked out for a head injury, but it turned out to be just a contact lens. He should return to action during the Browns' next defensive series.
Justin Gilbert - #21 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 202lbs
News: Gilbert was removed from Monday's game to be examined for a potential head injury, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. His return is questionable.
Impact: Gilbert saw an opportunity to start Monday, as Buster Skrine is considered week-to-week after having thumb surgery. Skrine had been the rookie's main competition for the starting job, so with him out of the mix in the short term, Gilbert was set to see a major uptick in playing time. However, a potential head injury has thrown a wrench into those plans. If Gilbert's cleared of concussion symptoms, he'll return to the game, but if diagnosed with a concussion, he'll likely miss the next preseason contest. If it turns out to be a concussion, look for Isaiah Trufant or Aaron Berry to see additional preseason reps.
News: Burleson (hamstring) is inactive Monday at Washington, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Burleson continues to be beset by injury, as a hamstring issue will keep him sidelined for a second preseason game in a row. The incoming decision on Josh Gordon's suspension will inform potential owners of the receiver pecking order in Cleveland, but even when healthy, Burleson will have to compete with Miles Austin and Andrew Hawkins, among others, in the Browns' pass-catching corps.
News: Gordon is in uniform prior to Monday's preseason matchup with the Redskins, Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland reports.
Impact: After dealing with an abdominal concern last week, Gordon was able to partake in practice Saturday, and his presence Monday displays his level of health. No matter how he produces in concert with quarterbacks Johnny Manziel and Brian Hoyer, Gordon still awaits word on his potential season-long ban. Once the appeal process plays out, the extent, if any, of Gordon's availability will forecast his value.
News: Skrine underwent thumb surgery Monday and is considered week-to-week moving forward, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact: Skrine's absence figures to result in rookie Justin Gilbert claiming the Browns' starting cornerback position opposite Joe Haden to begin this season. Although coach Mike Pettine said he expects Skrine to be ready for Week 1, that may be an optimistic outlook, and the time off probably will prevent Skrine from being considered to start once he eventually returns.
Tyler Thigpen - #4 - Quarterback - 6'1" - 216lbs
Tue. Aug 12, 2014 | STATS
News: The Cleveland Browns have signed unrestricted free-agent quarterback Rex Grossman and waived Thigpen.
Impact: The 33-year-old Grossman is entering his 12th year in the NFL and joins a team where Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel are vying for the starting job.
Rex Grossman - #3 - Quarterback - 6'1" - 225lbs
Tue. Aug 12, 2014 | STATS
News: The Cleveland Browns have signed Grossman and waived quarterback Tyler Thigpen. The 33-year-old Grossman is entering his 12th year in the NFL and joins a team where Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel are vying for the starting job.
Impact: Grossman, a former first-round pick, has played for the Bears (2003-08), Texans (2009) and Redskins (2010-13). In the 2006 season, he led Chicago to the Super Bowl in his first full season as the starter.

It's been documented that the Montreal fans would pay close attention to any ear-to-the-ground or press reports of racism or mistreatment Robinson and the Royals received when playing on the road. Fans of the Royals would voice their displeasure when that city's team visited Delorimier Stadium. [source: CBC]

"[...] Before many of our players ever took their first stride on NHL ice, they honed their skills on the frozen lakes and ponds of North America and Europe. Our sport can trace its roots to frozen freshwater ponds, to cold climates." -- Gary Bettman, NHL Commissioner.

«I am the Black Hockey Player
A brother
Who stand out on white ice like a fly in a pail of milk,
Compose my surface smooth as silk,
Cool like the ice, I glide
Keep my anger inside,
Struggle to maintain my pride

That echo like gunshots,
or slapshots
off the boards with the hate in their words»

"The respondent was merely protecting its business interests.
It appears from the evidence that, in refusing to sell beer to the appellant [Mr. Christie], the respondent's employees did so quietly, politely and without causing any scene or commotion whatever. If any notice was attracted to the appellant on the occasion in question, it arose out of the fact that the appellant persisted in demanding beer after he had been so refused and went to the length of calling the police, which was entirely unwarranted by the circumstances." ~Justice Rinfret

I'm on my way to Canada
That cold and distant land
The dire effects of slavery
I can no longer stand.
Farewell, old master,
Don't come after me.
I'm on my way to Canada
Where coloured men are free
~ Negro spiritual
"Canada is not merely a neighbor to Negroes. Deep in our history of struggle for freedom Canada was the North Star. The Negro slave knew that far to the north a land existed where a fugitive slave could find freedom. The legendary Underground Railroad started in the south and ended in Canada. [...] Heaven was the word for Canada and the Negro sang of the hope that his escape on the Underground Railroad would carry him there."
Slavery was practiced in Canada for over two centuries. Although ignorant about Canadian slavery, [we all] have been schooled in the Underground Railroad, which positioned white Canadians as liberators of African-American slaves. By the way, the Underground Railroad lasted from 1834 until 1865. How is it that we know about a three-decade window when enslaved Africans fled north from the U.S.A., but we know nothing about a two hundred plus year expanse of time when Canadians were slaving?
"In an initial conversation with Montreal manager Clay Hopper, who came from Mississippi, Rickey told Hopper he thought Robinson was 'superhuman.' Hopper replied, 'Do you really think a n---r's a human being?'
Once the season started, Robinson found himself free of America's racism while playing at home in Montreal, a city that had little prejudice because it was located in Canada, a land that had never known slavery, the Confederacy, or separate white and black drinking fountains. Montreal, moreover, was spiritually connected to France, the chosen home of such black expatriates as Josephine Baker."
A CBC-commissioned Ekos poll suggests seventy-eight per cent of anglophones and 70 per cent of allophones surveyed agreed the proposed legislation targets Muslim women.
The vast majority of non-francophones surveyed agreed the charter is an infringement of fundamental and religious rights -- 84 per cent of anglophones and 74 per cent of allophones. Only 36 per cent of francophone respondents agreed.
Results of the 2004 and 2006 federal elections reveal that ridings with high concentrations of immigrants had lower than average rates of voter participation. In 2001, nearly 90% of all immigrants resided in the provinces of Ontario, Québec and British Columbia. The ridings with the largest percentage of immigrants are located in these metropolitan areas.
What are some of the implications that flow from recent immigrant and minority expression in Canadian electoral politics? First of all, the need for more research is quite evident. One priority involves exploration of the differences in voter turnout across specific communities.
One of the greatest blunders the Renegades made was not marketing the team in Quebec - across the Rideau Canal and only five minutes from our stadium! In the off-season, I would work in elementary schools in Gatineau/Hull, QC. Montreal Alouettes players used to travel more than two hours to visit these schools, while Renegades players were sitting on their couches only steps away.

About: P.K. Subban is a right-shooting defenceman for the Montreal Canadiens. He is one of the best offensive defencemen in the NHL, which, of course, means people question his defensive ability, but he tilts the ice so much in his team's favour that any defensive deficiencies are a moot point. He's also a black star in a predominantly white game, so he's frequently described as having a bad attitude, i.e. he's too black. It's really dumb.
Expect to hear: "That P.K. Subban is so brash and so reckless."
Don't expect to hear: "I suspect my opinion of P.K. Subban is coloured by a preconception of the way black athletes usually act, and my own, haughty, overly moralistic and fully unwelcome opinion about how they should act. Once his confidence and basic enthusiasm for the game is filtered through the lens of my unspoken, racially-driven bias, it comes out looking like arrogance and selfishness to me. But rather than search myself and sort out the complicated relationship with race that's driving this perception, I call for him to smarten up, which is silly and hypocritical. It's my problem. I am the problem."
Canada has always embraced immigration; the country was built on it and depends on it for our continued growth and vibrancy. [...] Past policies have too often been designed to reflect a spirit of generosity...
Kelly McParland, National Post. February 6, 2014.
Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable...Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Until all of us have made it, none of us have made it."
~Rosemary Brown
Human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless effort and the persistent work of dedicated individuals. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today's mighty oak is yesterday's nut that held its ground."

"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public."
H. L. Mencken
The "Southern Cross" was adopted by the slave-owning Southern states as their symbol during the U.S. Civil War and has been used as an emblem by white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan.
Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton said "The Confederate flag symbolizes dehumanization, injustice and pain. It is a stark reminder of an era in our history that was defined by the abhorrent practice of slavery. And it is representative of a mentality that looked upon blacks as inferiors who needed to remain in the shackles of subservience."

About This Game
- Summary
- Specifications
- Game Editions
This "Megaten" game is a sequel in the Devil Summoner sub-series, which previously appeared on the Saturn and the original PlayStation. The game takes place in a world themed in the early 1900s Taishou era Japan. You play as Kuzunoha Raidou the 14th, a Devil Summoner and detective. Continuing the trends of the Shin Megamitensei series, Devil Summoner lets you summon demons into your company. You can then use the creature's special abilities to help solve the quest that you're on. You can also summon demons to help in battle. Whereas most Megaten games tend to feature menu-based battles, Atlus is adding action elements to the mix this time around. Details on the battle system will follow, but it seems that working with your partner demons is a big part of the fun.

I have a unit test method that needs to mock (stub?) two repository method calls in the class that I'm testing. Every example I've worked through until now shows one setup method for the Mock, but now I need two.
_employeeRepositoryMock.Setup(e => e.GetEmployees())
.Returns(new Employee[]
new Employee
Name = "John Doe"
_employeeRepositoryMock.Setup(e => e.UpdateEmployee(1)).Returns(true);
Assert.IsTrue(_employeeService.UpdateEmployeeRecords() > 0);
_employeeRepositoryMock.Verify(gr => gr.UpdateEmployee(1), Times.Exactly(1));
In this example I need to mock two repository methods that are both called in "UpdateEmployeeRecords()" but I'm not sure how.
Scratch this entire question -- I overlooked something simple. I was passing in the wrong numerical value for UpdateEmployee which was causing the Assert to fail. I changed the parameter in the mock to It.IsAny instead to get it to pass.
