Greg Jennings
Who Are The Most Overrated, Underrated Vikings?
Pete Prisco of CBS Sports says Greg Jennings is the Vikings most overrated player, while Phil Loadholt is the team's most underrated player.
Weekend Event Will Offer Coaching To Coaches
Coaches from every level of sports can have a huge impact on the players they're working with. And an event Friday called "A Call to Coaches: Developing Young Men of Character," will bring many of those leaders together.
Vikings Re-Sign WR Jerome Simpson
The Minnesota Vikings have re-signed receiver Jerome Simpson. The team announced the move on Friday. Simpson bounced back from an injury plagued first season in Minnesota in 2012 with a solid season last year. He caught 48 passes for a career-high 726 yards in 2013. At season's end, Simpson expressed a desire to return to the Vikings, who see him as a legitimate deep threat alongside Greg Jennings and Cordarrelle Patterson in the passing game.
Minnesota Vikings Disappoint In 2013
The Minnesota Vikings had higher expectations than the 5-10-1 record the team finished with in the 2013 season. The Vikings pass defense was abysmal in 2013 with five game-tying or game-winning scores in the final minute of the game. The team used three starting quarterbacks, including Christian Ponder and Matt Cassel for small stretches twice. The team fired head coach Leslie Frazier very early Monday morning.
Cassel Has Helped Jennings, Vikings Find Rhythm
Greg Jennings wanted to make sure he knew what he was getting into before he joined the Minnesota Vikings, so he sat down and studied film of Christian Ponder.
Minnesota Vikings Defeat Eagles Without The Help Of Adrian Peterson
The Minnesota Vikings routed the NFC East Division leading Philadelphia Eagles on the arm of Matt Cassel and legs of Matt Asiata. The two combined for 433 yards and six touchdowns as the Vikings won 48-30. Each unit had good games for the Vikings.
Vikings Lament Another Lost Late Lead
The Minnesota Vikings have little left to play for, with a fan base largely focused on positioning for next year's draft pick.
Vikings RB Adrian Peterson Expects To Play Sunday In Lambeau
Adrian Peterson is dealing with a groin injury and will not miss a game, even if asked to do so. The Minnesota Vikings also can expect to have wide receiver Greg Jennings in the lineup when it travels to Green Bay to take on the Packers. Harrison Smith is on the mend and expects to begin practicing next week. The Vikings listed four players as non-participants, seven as limited participants and three as full participants in Thursday's practice.
Harvin Set To Make Seattle Debut Against Vikings
Wide receiver Percy Havrin will make his awaited Seattle Seahawks debut against the Minnesota Vikings, his former team. Harvin was active for the first time this season Sunday. He was a full participant in Seahawks practice the final two days of the week and was listed as probable.
Christian Ponder Believes He's Ready To Start For Minnesota In Seattle
Christian Ponder says he can play, but Leslie Frazier hasn't committed to starting the third-year quarterback on Sunday. The former first round draft pick will wear a harness, if he plays. The team listed two players as non-participants, seven players as limited participants and six players as full participants in Thursday's practice.
Minnesota Vikings Running Thin On Defensive Backs
The Minnesota Vikings have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL, but three of the four opening day starters in the secondary may not be available for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Vikings listed four players as non-participants, three players as limited participants and five players as full participants in Thursday's practice.
Lives Changed After Hearing 'Can You Hear That'?
Dozens of lives will have changed by Tuesday tonight after being asked four simple words "can you hear that?" And "hear" is the imperative word. Hearing loss is often untreated because screenings and hearing aids are too expensive or not easily available.
Minnesota Vikings Hand The New York Giants First Win Of The Season
The Minnesota Vikings put forth another poor showing. Even the players that provided the highlights also provided lowlights. The offense never got into a rhythm. The best Vikings defense was the Giants offense at times.
The Minnesota Vikings May Have A Quarterback Controversy
The Minnesota Vikings may not have a quarterback controversy, but head coach Leslie Frazier is non-committal to who his starter will be following their bye. After losing back-to-back games in the final minute of the game, the Vikings defense found itself in a similar situation as the Pittsburgh Steelers moved down the field and got as close as the Viking six-yard line.
Vikings Blog: An American Football Fan In London
Since 2005, the NFL has hosted an International Series by having a regular season game played outside of the United States. The first game in London was played in 2007 when the New York Giants defeated the Miami Dolphins 13-10.

The rhythmic beeping of the many machines hooked up around you was soon tuned out by the soft, welcoming flood of warm memories.Your first encounter with the handsome blonde man you were proud to call your fiancé, Ludwig Beilschmidt, took place at a park, when your dog had gotten loose.

His blue eyes traced itself to the closed window, watching the pouring rain. "Guess we can only spend my birthday indoor." "It's alright," you sighed. "We'll make it worthwhile." You pulled him downstairs into the kitchen. "We'll bake a cake together!" "J-Ja. That's a good idea, (Name)!" You tossed Ludwig his blue apron as you put on your green one.

HOUSTON (AP) — Thousands of homes and businesses in the Houston area have lost power during storms that brought down part of the awning at a gas station.
CenterPoint Energy reports only about 200 customers were still without electricity Monday. More than 9,100 outages were reported Sunday night as bad weather moved through the Houston area.
A gas station in Cypress suffered damage when strong winds toppled part of the awning. Authorities say one female customer was transported to a hospital to be checked for minor injuries.
The National Weather Service says showers and thunderstorms are possible in the Houston area for much of this week.

Report: Justin Bieber Asked to Leave Hotel Due to Fan Rowdiness
Trouble just can't help but find Justin Bieber this week. First a graffiti charge requires him to pay a fine, then a fan filmed him while he was asleep, and now the pop superstar was reportedly asked to leave his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
However, this time, the 19-year-old's punishment was not of his own making. Crazed fans reportedly arrived at Bieber's pad at Faena Hotel to see the pop star, and they became "unruly."
Eventually, the fervent "Beliebers" caused property damage, and even went so far as to tear down police barricades as they camped outside.
Apparently, the hotel asked the "Love Me" singer and his traveling companions to leave the building. Reports also state that hotels in the immediate are also unwilling to accept Justin and his followers. He has to prepare for his concerts on Saturday and Sunday, and we'll have to wait and see if he can get a roof over his head before then!

The American Game Of Football And Open Water Swimming
And tonight is a classic American college game against two traditional powerhouses: Alabama vs. Notre Dame.
It is the power and traditions of Notre Dame's Fighting Irish of Notre Dame against the power and speed of the Alabama Crimson Tide.
First made famous by its six national football championships won under revered coach Paul Bryant, the University of Alabama will play for its 3rd national championship in 4 years and is the heavy favorite against Notre Dame.
The men who are the coaches for both teams espouse characteristics and a lifestyle that define many open water swimmers.
On the Alabama side, there is Nick Saban known for his disciplined approach to the game of football. Detail-oriented, laser-focused and methodical, he demands that his players understand and abide by his comprehensive and challenging process of preparation. On the Notre Dame side, Saban's counterpart is Brian Kelly. Inspirational and motivational on a deep emotional level, his leadership has elevated the Fighting Irish game. He uplifts his charges on a profound psychological level as well as a supremely physical one. To think, to believe, and to envision success has been part of his formula to drive a team to the national championship game.
On one side of the football field, Alabama's players lead a lifestyle embedded with details and a focused methodology. On the other side of the field, the Notre Dame football players have confidence in themselves and in their teammates supported by a deeply felt belief system embedded in their DNA.
This kind of dedication and passion also define open water swimmers who lead a common lifestyle whether they swim on the shores of the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa and Oceania. The underlying passion of these open water swimmers is the same whether it is a 54-year-old man doing a mile swim for the first time in his life or a working mother dreaming of a channel swim.
But while the coaches and athletes of the University of Alabama and Notre Dame play out their battle in front of a national television audience in an overflowing stadium, open water swimmers attempt their own challenges quietly and courageously.
As ESPN alludes to in its commercial below, "It's not crazy. It's sports."
We agree: it's not crazy. It's open water swimming.

2014 Global Open Water Swimming Conference
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California.
The Global Open Water Swimming Conference is a conference on the sport of open water swimming, marathon swimming and swimming during triathlons and multi-sport endurance events.
The conference which has been attended by enthusiasts and luminaries from 6 continents, is devoted to providing information about the latest trends, race tactics, training techniques, equipment, psychological preparation, race organization and safety practices used in the sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons.
The conference's mission is to provide opportunities to listen and meet many of the world's most foremost experts in open water swimming, and to meet and discuss the sport among swimmers, coaches, administrators, event organizers, sponsors, vendors, officials, escort pilots, and volunteers from kayakers to safety personnel.
Dozens of presentations at the 2014 Conference at the Mount Stuart House cover numerous aspects of the vast and growing world of open water swimming where attendees can learn and share the latest trends, race tactics, training modalities, swimming techniques, equipment, race organization, logistics, operations, and safety practices for open water swimming as a solo swimmer, competitive athlete, fitness swimmer, masters swimmer, triathlete, multi-sport athlete, administrator, race promoter, sponsor or referee.
The conference was first held in Long Beach, California as part of the 2010 USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Championships. It has since been held on the Queen Mary in California, at Columbia University and the United Nations in New York City, and in Cork, Ireland. This year in September, it comes to another iconic location, the Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute in Scotland.
"The Global Open Water Swimming Conference was started due to the desire and need for athletes, coaches, referees, administrators, race directors, promoters and sponsors from around the world to share, collect and learn information about the growing sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons," said founder Steven Munatones. "Other swimming conferences usually offering nothing on open water swimming or perhaps a speech or two, but we thought open water swimming deserves its own global conference. It is great that the community shares its information via the online social network, but there is nothing like meeting other open water swimming enthusiasts face-to-face and talking about the sport from morning to night."
Speakers at the conference include English Channel swimmers, ice swimmers, record holders, renowned coaches, world champions, professional marathon swimmers, renowned race directors, officials and administrators from the Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
"Because the audience is passionate and educated about the sport and its finest practitioners, the Global Open Water Swimming Conference is also the location of the induction ceremonies for the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the annual WOWSA Awards that recognize the World Open Water Swimming Man of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year, and the World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year. Special Lifetime Achievement Awards are also occasionally presented to individuals who have made significant contributions to the sport over their career."

2014 Open Water Swimming Almanac
An Almanac for Open Water SwimmingAn almanac is essentially a body of knowledge which is so complete that it enables people in different fields to make predictions about the future of their respective industries.
This, for example, was the purpose of the traditional farmers almanacs. It enabled farmers to determine as accurately as possible which crops to plant for the greatest harvests in a given year.
But the farmers almanac was just one example among many.
There are, of course, many different kinds of almanacs.
In fact, there is even one for open water swimming...

The trends are very clear.
The tide is rising for open water swimming.

Saudi's idle citizens
The Kingdom is aggressively trying to promote education in a bid to limit rising levels of unemployment.
January 21, 2010 1:51 by Aarti Nagraj
Saudi's labor ministry should close down and allow the Kingdom's chamber of commerce and industry to deal with the country's rising unemployment problem, according to Asaad Jawhar, economic analyst at King Abdul Aziz University.
"They [the labor ministry] have presented no solution to a problem that has existed for more than 20 years," he told Arab News.
While it is almost comical to imagine a labor ministry shutting down, the increasing level of joblessness in the Kingdom is certainly not something to laugh about.
In September last year, on the Kingdom's National Day, Labor Minister Ghazi al-Gosaibi said his ministry had brought down the unemployment rate from 11.2 percent to 9.8 percent. However, earlier this month, deputy Labor Minister Abdul Wahid al-Humaid told Arabic daily Al-Watan that the official unemployment rate for Saudi men stood at 10 percent, and for Saudi women, at 27 percent. "We have found jobs for 142,318 Saudis in private companies last year," he said.
But the true rate of unemployment could be much higher, according to other estimates.
A report from Banque Saudi Fransi in January claimed that thanks to minimal growth in the Saudi economy last year, unemployment in the Kingdom reached 15.2 percent.
In December last year, a report published by the Arab League and the United Nations Development Program (UNPD) put the rate at 26 percent-the highest in the GCC. The report said that if unemployment in the Arab region worsened, and it failed to produce 51 million jobs within the next 20 years, "its entire social fabric may be jeopardized."

I second the proposal by Asaad for closing down labor ministry…. I'd also humbly suggest closing down all others too… Foreign and Defence is aptly being handled by americans/Europeans. Interior is Al-Q, The King's 10,000 plus extended family is well taken care of by the oil revenues…where is the need for ministries…well, the religious ministry needs to stay put though (how else will the common octogenarian men ratify their preteen brides. Readers dont get me wrong by saying "You westerners…etc etc…." I am born and brought up in Saudia and remain committed to the nation's future.
Allah Kareem.

"The Hunger Games" as a novel is both an exciting romp that manages to both keep your eyes glued to the page and criticize aspects of our culture and government. The film is just as exciting, but doesn't really feel as interested in challenging society. That isn't to say that it is completely devoid of biting commentary on notions like the 1%, reality TV, or the growing problems of poverty around the world, it just doesn't seem as concerned with them. Instead of presenting them in a gritty, downtrodden way like the novel, it all feels closer to satire. Even the dirty, third world District 12 feels like it's playing up the notion of a dystopian shanty town rather than actually putting you into the hell hole author Suzanne Collins describes in her novels. Still, it's kind of refreshing that a well made film that is aimed at young adults is actually thought provoking, if in a very simple and pedestrian way.

Remedy hiring for next-gen project
Remedy Entertainment, have today announced plans to hire staff for a next generation project.
In a post on the official forums, community manager 'sidetwo' posted an image advertising 'more than 20 new positions' for the Finnish developers behind Alan Wake.
But perhaps the most tantalising piece of information one can get from this announcement, is that the roles are aimed towards an "unannounced project targeted towards future generation consoles".
The image adds: "Interested in being part of a team on the very brink of creating the games of the future?"
While nothing has been confirmed, rumours are abound regarding the future of the Alan Wake franchise and either way, GUFU is very interested in Remedy's next step – especially with the now daily speculation on the next generation of home systems.
As Remedy say, 'watch this space'.
The first batch of positions will go up next week on March 30th.
SSX: It's Lacking Something
The rebooted SSX has been met with acclaim from both critics and fans, being praised for its addictive gameplay and well integrated online features – and rightly so.
By taking advantage of technology that powered EA's 'Autolog' system in Need for Speed, RiderNet allows a seamless online experience that provides a constant challenge for players, with constantly updated times and scores inviting players to beat their rivals across the game. A global challenge system allows players to join open events which reward faster times on a predetermined drop with higher amounts of in-game cash, without the need for potentially laborious lobby loading or issues with latency.
It is indeed a novel idea, one that has led to many extended play sessions since I purchased the game. Similar to hot lapping a track in GT5 or Forza, the progression felt through shaving a few hundredths of a second off a personal best is something I find addictive and enthralling. This, coupled with a huge amount of content; whether that being drops, events, or the afore-mentioned global challenges that allow asynchronous online play, it is a game that you'd be hard pressed to criticise for being overpriced.
However there feels like there is something missing in the package overall, something which many may view as unnecessary, but one that I feel is a ridiculous oversight – and that is simultaneous online play.
A key staple in almost every suitable game these days (and often provided anyway irrespective of aptness) online play feels absolutely perfect for this type of game. While many may question it's necessity when a capable system is already in place, it also isn't hard to view its omission as a glaring oversight on EA's part.
The Global Events that are provided serve their purpose, but do little to actually provide a sense of competition – overall leaderboards are replaced with brackets which only highlight key times. Whereas a lack of simultaneous play could be somewhat forgiven (although, I'm sure the reasoning for it's absence would be interesting to hear), it seems like a leaderboard system is almost demanded in a title of this sort and it feels detrimental to the whole experience when it's absence is so blatent. While the game does push the fact that global events are 'live', current competition is shown as a collection of ghosts moving around the mountain at different paces, which a player will be hard pressed to see on any given run – and will likely ignore anyway, with the player only invested in events happening via their input.
While this provides a better focus on securing the best times possible, it also limits any number of events that can occur during well implemented simultaneous multiplayer. There is no good start gained by learning from an opponent, nor is there the tension of numerous players attempting a risky manoeuvre in to a shortcut at a seconds notice, and the nature of SSX's multi-faceted courses provides sufficient backbone for such spontaneity (various lines are presented with some faster than others – different areas open up across levels of verticality, while some tracks provide blind drops resulting in death). Even an option to race down a mountain from a set start with friends is absent, unless you want to sit with a party on XBL and choreograph a simultaneous drop.
Just like Forza 4 and other titles have been praised for their leaderboard integration, one of the things that keeps players coming back is a competitive environment to race simultaneously, with the ability to chat to rivals and yet this is absent here as well, and this is absolutely baffling – there is no reason why these two types of play cannot co-exist, nor is it necessarily right that one should be absent over the other.
The 'Trick It' mode (which allows each drop to be used as a playground for combining ludicrous stunts which calculate to an overall score) thankfully feels suited to the existing style of online.
RiderNet in conjunction with Global Challenges is by no means a bad thing, in fact I'd love to see more developers take a hint and integrate asynchronous online – providing rivalry between friends on a wider scale. But when your primary 'Race-It' mode simply exists as some sort of global time trial, a time trial which lacks basic functions like a leaderboard (apart from friends) or even positional placement, any sense of intense rivalry ultimately feels dropped from the game, something at odds with the whole ethos of the experience.
As such, it's hard not to feel like SSX is a few features short.

I have wanted one of these donut cock rings for years. At 44mm, it might be a bit small for me. If it is I will gift it to a friend. The machining and polishing are flawless.

A request from a friend to draw one of her avis
Im really impressed with this one. I spent more than an hour on it, maybe two. I used a bunch of colors and blended them together to get that 3D effect. Im normally terrible at blending, especially for painting or with colored pencils. What do I have to say about that? I LOVE THAT SMUDGE TOOL!<3
I wish there was some sort of 'smudge' or 'blend' tool to use in real life, my traditional drawings would probably look 10x better with it..
Anyways, enjoy~

ITC to investigate Apple claim against Samsung
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has announced that it will investigate an Apple complaint filed against Samsung claiming patent infringement. According to an announcement on the ITC website, the investigation will include "mobile phone handsets and tablet computers, in addition to components such as software, touchpads, and hardware interfaces;" Apple is said to be seeking an exclusion order and cease and desist orders. As noted when Apple originally filed its complaint against Samsung in July, Apple is likely targeting models similar to the Infuse 4G, Galaxy S 4G, Droid Charge, and Galaxy Tab 10.1, all of which it is attempting to block with a preliminary injunction in the companies' ongoing case in California.

Shelby's unemployment
drops in September
Shelby County's unemployment dipped slightly in September to 9.6 percent, which makes it one of the top rates in the state. The rate was 10 percent in August.
Because of predicted weather, the Shelby County High School football team will play its regular-season finale at Oldham County on Thursday at 7 p.m., instead of Friday as originally scheduled.
Extra chairs had to be brought out for last minute seating, and there were still several people standing in the back as more than 100 strong crammed into the Stratton Community Center on Monday night to hear about a potential downtown "City Center."
Presenter Leon Mooneyhan said he was pleasantly surprised as he watched the overflow crowd pour in.
Catalpagreen Subdivision, to be located next to the new Martha Layne Collins High School got its go-ahead from local planners in July.
There will be no March for Babies in Shelby County this year.
This annual event, which had been scheduled for Oct. 3, fell through this year because of problems on the state level.
The last couple of years, this event has raised $18,000 to $20,000, which supports programs in the community that help expecting mothers have healthy, full-term pregnancies and supports research concerning ill or premature babies.
Anyone who travels up and down Main Street on a regular basis can't help but notice that construction on the new Judicial Center has really been coming along lately.
Shelby County Deputy Judge-Executive Rusty Newton said the construction progress has been amazing when one considers how inclement the weather has been this year.
Candlelight vigil for Duckett set for Nov. 9
The family of murder victim James Duckett is holding a candlelight vigil has at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 8 at Rockbridge United Methodist Church at 5317 Rockbridge Road.
Duckett, who lived across the street from the church and worked there, was murdered one year ago on that date. His killer remains at large.
Mooneyhan to address Rotary
Hempridge Road closed Saturday
The Department of Highways will temporarily close KY 714, Hempridge Road, Saturday for drain installation. It will be closed to through traffic near the intersection of KY 53 with KY 44 from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.
When the Shelby County School Board meets Thursday night at East Middle School, it will take action on a number of agenda items that aim to get the local planning committee put in place and functioning.
"This is the committee that is put together of school people as well as parents, community and business people, to establish the next set of the facility plan," Community Relations Coordinator Duanne Puckett said.
Those agenda items that will be taken action on include:
Robert Andrews has long had a dream to build a multipurpose event facility in Shelby County.
With Triple S Planning Commission's approval of his development plan at Tuesday's special meeting, it seems Simpsonville could be the location where that dream comes true.
Six months ago Andrews, owner of Elegance, LLC., revealed his goal of building a 15,000-square-foot conference center in Shelbyville, but Tuesday he said the site has changed to Simpsonville to allow for bigger and better things.

It is obviously a huge day for the Kentucky Wildcats. On Saturday night, they will take on the Wisconsin Badgers for the right to play the winner of the other national semifinal between the Florida Gators and Connecticut Huskies in Monday night's national championship game.
It has also been a big day for Mark Stoops and the Kentucky football program.
First, Kentucky got commitments from offensive lineman Larry Wells and Logan Stenberg.
Then, they received a pledge from 3-star offensive tackle/strong side defensive end Levon Livingston.
Livingston announced the decision on twitter.
Well… I verbally committed to the #BBN and @UKFootball as of today. #SEC Too excited!!!
— Levon Livingston (@BigDCLivingston) April 5, 2014
The 6'7, 250-pound Livingston attends Ballou STAY High School in Washington, D.C.
He could play on either side of the ball, but projects as a strong side defensive end. Livingston is ranked as the 24th best strong side defensive end prospect, the sixth best overall prospect in D.C. and the 506th best overall prospect, according to 24/7 Sports' composite rankings.
Livingston also had offers from the North Carolina State Wolfpack and West Virginia Mountaineers, among others.

Accused attacker faced charges in 2010
She said he invited her to his house Thursday night, giving her a Sagamore Street address, but when she arrived and found it to be a business, she called him and he invited her to join him in his vehicle, a Pontiac SUV.
The court documents show she told police she was able to use a pepper spray container on her keychain, forcing him to back off. She then opened the door and ran.
In October 2011, prosecutors decided not to go forward with prosecution because the alleged victim had moved to Germany and did not want to return for trial.
Court documents show he and Detective Patrick Maguire knew Ojo had been given a summons for loitering, after parking for hours in the lot of the Van Otis store on Elm Street June 1; was charged with assault for allegedly grabbing the chest area of a woman June 23 on Sagamore Street, and matched the description of a man who had sexually assaulted a woman in the area of 27 Sagamore St. July 7.
Nearly two hours later, he was still there, the detectives said. But, as they watched, the driver pulled away and drove around the block, parking this time on Sagamore Street, near Bay Street.
