What GAO Found
Three federal agencies--U.S. Marshals, International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) Washington - U.S. National Central Bureau (USNCB), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)--use information from state, local, territorial, and tribal jurisdictions, as well as passenger data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), to identify registered sex offenders traveling outside of the United States. Similarly, these agencies may be notified of registered sex offenders traveling to the United States through several means, including tips from foreign officials or when CBP queries the registered sex offender's biographic information at a port of entry and finds that the offender has a criminal history. However, none of these sources provides complete or comprehensive information on registered sex offenders leaving or returning to the United States. For example, CBP does not routinely query individuals who leave the United States by commercial bus, private vessel, private vehicle, or by foot, in which case CBP may not be able to determine if any of these individuals are registered sex offenders. In addition, foreign officials do not always monitor when a registered sex offender is returning to the United States. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), working with other agencies, is developing a process that will address some of these limitations. Specifically, the FBI will send an automated notice to the U.S. Marshals and law enforcement officials in the jurisdictions where the sex offender is registered that the offender is traveling, to the extent that the offender's biographical information is queried at the port of entry. However, because ICE has not requested to receive the automated notifications, ICE will not be notified of registered sex offenders who leave the country via a land port of entry whose biographical information is queried.
USNCB and ICE have notified foreign officials of some registered sex offenders leaving and returning to the country, but could increase the number and content of these notifications. USNCB notifies its foreign INTERPOL counterparts about registered sex offenders traveling internationally, and ICE notifies its foreign law enforcement counterparts about traveling sex offenders who had committed an offense against a child. USNCB provides more detailed information than ICE because USNCB uses offenders' self-reported travel information that some jurisdictions collect, which may include details such as hotel information. Since ICE uses passenger data, it does not have these details. Also, data from August 1 to September 30, 2012, showed that the two agencies had significant differences in the number of offenders they identified in notifications. USNCB sent notifications on 105 traveling sex offenders that ICE did not, and, conversely, ICE sent notifications on 100 traveling sex offenders that USNCB did not. In part this is because the two agencies rely on different information sources and do not share information with one another. Taking steps to ensure that these agencies have all available information on the same registered sex offenders traveling internationally could help ensure that the agencies are providing more comprehensive information to their foreign counterparts to help inform public safety decisions.
Why GAO Did This Study
In recent years, certain individuals who had been convicted of a sex offense in the United States have traveled overseas and committed offenses against children. GAO was asked to review what relevant federal agenciesincluding DOJ, DHS, and the Department of Stateare doing with regard to registered sex offenders traveling or living abroad. This report addresses the following questions: (1) How and to what extent does the federal government determine whether registered sex offenders are leaving or returning to the United States? (2) How and to what extent have federal agencies notified foreign officials about registered sex offenders traveling internationally? GAO analyzed August and September 2012 data from the U.S. Marshals, USNCB, and ICE on registered sex offenders who traveled internationally. GAO also interviewed relevant agency officials and surveyed officials from all 50 states, 5 territories, and the District of Columbia to determine the extent to which they identify and use information on traveling sex offenders.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that ICE consider receiving the automated notifications and DOJ and DHS take steps to ensure that USNCB and ICE (1) have information on the same number of traveling registered sex offenders and (2) have access to the same level of detail about each traveling registered sex offender. USNCB within DOJ and DHS concurred with our recommendations.

Status Legend:

Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: Given ICE's objective to target the transnational sexual exploitation of children, after the automated notification becomes operational, the Director of ICE should direct ICE Homeland Security Investigations officials to coordinate with FBI Criminal Justice Information Services officials to collect and analyze information that will enable ICE to determine if the benefits of receiving the automated notifications outweigh the costs. The type of information ICE may consider collecting as part of this analysis could include the number of notifications generated for sex offenders leaving the country via a land port of entry.
Agency Affected: Department of Homeland Security: Directorate of Border and Transportation Security: Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: To ensure that USNCB and ICE are providing more comprehensive information to their respective foreign counterparts regarding registered sex offenders traveling internationally, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security should take steps to help ensure that USNCB and ICE have information on the same number of registered sex offenders as well as the same level of detail on registered sex offenders traveling internationally. Such steps could include USNCB and ICE copying each other on their notifications to their foreign counterparts or USNCB receiving information directly from the CBP National Targeting Center (NTC).

on national radio on the Fox Radio (Myers & Hartman show). I couldn't believe Fran Tarkenton is hating on Favre hours before the Vikings vs Packers match up. Can't he just accept facts that Brett Favre makes the 2009 Minnesota Vikings a better team, and gives his team a better chance to win than the other 2 QBs on the Roster.
I have pulled over in Hudson, WI at a Buffalo Wild Wings, to share my disgust of a bitter old man, that just can't shut the hell up.
He went as far as saying that if the Vikings had Rodgers that the Vikings would crush the Packers even more.
My prediction of the game is Vikings 45 & Packers 3, with Favre throwing at least 3 TDs!
REVENGE Part 1 will be REALIZED and I will have a front row seat at the Metrodome!

Much has been made of the national and media perception of Louisville's top ten all-time leading scorer and 2nd all-time leader in thefts of basketballs, Russ Smith. His critics would have you believe he is a reckless player who takes more shots than a frat-bro on a Friday night. Now, the BasedKing himself has said he doesn't care about what the media is saying about him. However, I think it's important that we defend the King of Louisville Basketball with, you know, logic and statistics.
I believe it was the legendary Coach John Wooden who once said, "I don't care about your words, all I see is numbers." (Wooden may not have ever said that.) So let's set aside all of the commentary about Russdiculous and focus on the statistics. To gauge how Russ ranks as a D-1 college basketball player I'm going to compare his stats through 26 games of his senior year to the stats of highly successful stats of players from recent years.
The following list contains former Naismith award winners, All-Americans, top 3 draft picks, and exclusively players drafted in the first round.
(All stats from the player's last season in college basketball)
(All stats are per game)
Russ Smith, Sr (26 games this year): Pts-17.8, FGA-13.1, FG%-.462, 3P%-.378, Rbs-3.4, A-4.5, TO-2.9, Stl-1.8.
Trey Burke, So (2012-2013): Pts-18.6, FGA-14.4, FG%-.463, 3P%-.384, Rbs-3.2, A-6.7, TO-2.2, Stl-1.6.
Victor Oladipo, Jr (2012-2013): Pts-13.6, FGA-8.4, FG%-.599, 3P%-.441, Rbs-6.3, A-2.1, TO-2.3, Stl-2.2.
Kemba Walker, Jr (2010-2011): Pts-23.5, FGA-18.0, FG%-.428, 3P%-.330, Rbs-5.4, A-4.5, TO-5.4 Stl-1.9.
Jimmer Fredette, Sr (2010-2011): Pts-28.9, FGA-20.7, FG%-.452, 3P%-.396, Rbs-3.4, A-4.3, TO-3.5, Stl-1.3.
John Wall, Fr (2009-2010): Pts-16.6, FGA-11.8, FG%-.461, 3P%-.325, Rbs-4.3, A-6.5, TO-4.0, Stl-1.8
(All stats courtesy of http://www.sports-reference.com)
So as we can see, our guy Russ Smith hangs with some of the best guards in the last 5 years.
Oh, and I didn't even mention his 2 Final Four trips, National Championship, and 2 Big East Tournament Chamionships.

A couple things from the Minnesota Vikings' Friday morning walk-thru.
The MN Vikings fall to the Detroit Lions and the 0-3 start is taking its toll on the fans as well as team.
The Vikings' new head coach is surrounded by an air of quiet confidence.
Pro Football Weekly has done a Power Ranking of the NFL head coaches.
Leslier Frazier talks. He's the head coach and stuff, so we listen.
The Vikings will be drafting a quarterback in the first two rounds if Leslie Frazier has anything to say about it. . .and something tells me that he does.
The Minnesota Vikings still have a "Triangle of Authority," even if it isn't quite as pronounced as it once was.
The new Vikings coaching staff is saying a lot of the right things so far. Granted, it wasn't going to take much for me to buy in, but I'm pretty happy anyway.
The Vikings are looking to fill some vacancies on their coaching staff. To that end, they've brought in a couple of interesting names.
It doesn't appear that Vikings' defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier will be getting a head coaching job this year, either.

News: Usher Breaks Silence On Failed Marriage, "It Just Was Never Going To Work Out"
Sunday, Aug 29, 2010 9:48AM
Grammy-winning singer Usher has broken silence on his failed marriage to R&B singer Tameka Foster and said the mother of his two sons could not fully see eye-to-eye with him.
Promising no ill will toward Foster, Usher was still appreciative for his time with her.
"I appreciate the relationship for what it was," he says. "Even though it didn't work out, I'm glad we got together. I love her as the mother of my children; we just couldn't be married. We're two different people -- and we have two different goals. It just was never going to work out 100 percent. We had to put our issues aside and focus on raising [our sons]. There will never be another mother for my sons, and I'll always be their father." (PEOPLE)
Last fall, a leaked 911 phone call hit the Internet with Usher accusing Foster of damaging his vehicle.
"I actually wanted to report a situation where my car has been keyed," Usher told the 911 operator. "Yes ma'am, property damage. Can you hold on for one second? It happened last night apparently, I had called and filed a complaint because of a potential domestic violence between me and my ex-wife because she had come to my house, they sent the police there last night, we filed a complaint. My name is Usher Raymond...It was around 12 o'clock, last night [the car was fine]. It was after I had an altercation between my ex-wife and after I filed a complaint and the police came, she fled the scene. But when I woke up this morning I saw my car..." (YouTube)
Foster's camp later released a statement regarding the situation.
"This is just another attempt to disparage Tameka," a rep said. "It's simply an angry ploy that has no merit. Tameka's own truck was scratched but it's not clear how. The truck is registered in her name, it's not even Usher's car. Why would she vandalize her own vehicle?" (TMZ)
The separation between Usher and Tameka made headlines last summer.
From the beginning it seemed like sentiments were against the marriage between Usher Raymond and Tameka Foster Raymond. She was older than the 20-something-year-old singing sensation whose career has catapulted him into the realm of first name only fame. She was also married at the time they met and already the mother of three children. So news that Usher had filed for divorce from his wife of less than two years has been met with a collective "I told you so" from fans and industry watchers alike. (CNN)
Usher and Foster wed in August 2007 and officially split mid-2009.

Hurricane Sandy has postponed the deadline for Red Ribbon Week's national photo contest by one week.
Red Ribbon Week provides drug awareness through the wearing of red ribbons and has been a nationwide campaign since 1985.
As part of the weeklong event the sponsors of Red Ribbon Week announced a national photo contest which boasted the chance to win a $1,000 drug prevention grant for an individual's K-12 school or an iPad for their home.
The goal of the contest is to encourage families to talk about prevention at home and in their neighborhoods.
The original deadline for the contest was Nov. 2 but due to the recent weather events involving Hurricane Sandy the deadline has been postponed one week to Nov. 9. The online voting portion of the contest has also been pushed back one week to Nov. 2 thru Nov. 16.
For all of the contest details or to learn more about Red Ribbon Week you are encouraged to visit www.redribbon.org.

Some inside commentary to the Falcons #2 WR Position
I figured I'd post this link to add to the Falcons #2 WR discussion. "We're going to rotate our wide receivers," Smith said. "Harry Douglas will be coming back, Brian Finneran, Eric Weems — they're all experienced players, so they will really step into his role. Harry, we're bring along slowly in a one-a-day mode, and Brian and Eric will probably get the majority of the snaps with Kerry Meier in the game (against the Kansas City Chiefs) Friday night." There's such a crowd currently at the wide receiver position that Smith feels confident with the personnel he has on the roster. Douglas, Finneran, Weems and Meier — a rookie — all spent time at Jenkins' position Monday morning during a combined practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Falcons training facility. It looks like Mike Smith's infamous rotation methods are going to strike again - I don't think we really could have predicted anything differently.

Every day more than 4,000 U.S. teenagers try smoking, and nearly a third of them will become regular smokers. Parents can take practical steps to keep their children smoke-free. Initially, young people begin smoking to look cool without understanding the addictive nature of tobacco. But a person who starts smoking when young is more likely to continue the habit into adulthood. And quitting smoking later in life is a difficult task to overcome.
Here are specific steps you can take to keep your children from smoking:
If you smoke, quit. Children look to their parents as an example, and children of smokers are more likely to smoke than children of nonsmokers.
Start talking about the dangers of smoking when your children are ages 5 or 6. If you wait until they're 11 or 12, when they're likely to be tempted to try cigarettes, their health attitudes are already pretty well established.
Explain to your children how tobacco advertising manipulates people into believing smoking is cool, socially acceptable and image-enhancing. When looking at a billboard, ask your children, "Do you really believe the girl is going to want to kiss the guy after he takes that cigarette out of his mouth?"
Remind them of the cost of smoking. Point out to your children that youngsters who spend money on smoking could have bought CDs, makeup, new clothes, video games, or other things that matter to them.
Pay attention to the friends with whom your children spend time. The chances they'll smoke are greater if they have close friends who smoke. If your children's friends smoke, don't wait until your children start smoking to say something; bring up the subject first and help them deal with peer pressure.
Get to know the parents of your children's friends. Are they smokers? Do they condone smoking? Are they concerned with raising nonsmoking children? Work with other parents to keep informed about your youngsters' activities. And get the children involved in activities that are not associated with smoking, such as organized sports, hiking, biking or other athletic endeavors.
Know what you're talking about by becoming well-informed about the dangers of smoking. When talking to your children about smoking, it's essential to communicate facts. There's no need for embellishment, to say smoking is worse than it is. The truth is bad enough.
Arm your children with feelings of self-confidence and self-worth. What does self-confidence have to do with not smoking? Everything. Children who feel belittled at home, or who are overly controlled, will seek to escape one way or another and often will take up smoking to rebel against authority figures.
Tell teenagers about the negative effects of smoking that should matter most to them at their age, such as bad breath, yellow teeth, and reduced athletic abilities. Teens often don't respond to warnings about the long-term health consequences.

text: I think Dom got robbed on the Jacksonville trade, but some what made up for it on the Denver trade. Either way we got two players that have a high ceiling, and could make this draft one of the best in Bucs history. Richardson might be a Adrian Peterson and Kuechly might be a Zach Thomas, but Barron might be a Ed Reed and Martin might be a Marshall Faulk. NOW we need to draft a LB, and who has more upside than Vontaze Burfict? He could be Ray Lewis, or he could be a used car salesman. We have the need at LB, so why not take a shot at him later? Kuechly is in Carolina now, and Burfict was rated higher than him at one point. Is he worth the gamble for a team in need of a MLB? YES!!

Ricky Mast is not your every day Braves fan.
He's not even from the deep south. He lives in a small town in Virginia, where he says there are still a few Braves fans that have yet to be converted to Nationals fans.
But his love for the Bravos is stands strong through song. Mast drops Braves related rhymes.
His first song debuted last season, "Go Yicketty", about Chipper Jones.
"That was around the time that Chipper Jones joined Twitter," Mast said. "He started dropping all this baseball inside lingo, maybe its just Chipper lingo, Idon't know. One word he was using in particular was yicketty. That's Chipper speak for a home run."
Connect on Twitter: @kyle_burger and @RickyMast
That video has more than 35,000 views on YouTube.
"Put it out there, maybe a few of my Braves friends on Twitter would get a kick out of it. Within a day, it was all over Twitter, gaining hundreds of followers, it was on MLB Network, Chipper Jones was being quoted talking about it."
Since then, he's honed his craft by creating five more stick puppet videos. As a result of these videos, the Braves invited him on the Braves Caravan this off-season with pitcher Kris Medlen.
"He came up to me, introduced himself, he knew who I was," Mast said. "My newest video at that time was called Bravos Style. He pulled out his phone and made Freddie Freeman and Tyler Pastornicky watch it while we're eating lunch. I couldn't believe this is happening right now. I thought my head was going to explode."
Mast said that he has another video in mind, but would only say it's about a Braves relief pitcher. Let the speculation begin...

Mark your calendars for the Learning College Summit!
June 11-14, 2006
Sheraton Westport Lakeside Chalet
St. Louis, Missouri
Now in its fourth year, the League's Learning College is scheduled for June 11-14, 2006, at the Sheraton Westport Lakeside Chalet in St. Louis, Missouri, and is being hosted by St. Louis Community College. Plans are fully under way for this exciting gathering, which brings together educators from around the nation and world who are committed to a deliberate, powerful focus on learning at their institutions. As an integral facet of the League's Learning Initiative, the Learning College Summit is designed to benefit colleges that are beginning the journey toward becoming more learning centered as well as veteran learning-college institutions that are well on their way.
In a small conference center setting, the 2006 Learning College Summit will serve as a working retreat for college teams or for individual representatives from colleges to connect with colleagues and to share experiences, discuss issues, and explore strategies for overcoming obstacles and meeting challenges. This gathering of community college educators is designed to foster networking and collaborative opportunities among colleagues, and is a vehicle to investigate ways colleges have successfully undertaken significant organizational transformation to improve student learning.
The 2006 Learning College Summit will offer participants opportunities to explore in depth five pressing topics in education as they relate to the Learning College concept in action:
Each topic will be the focus of deep examination during its own morning or afternoon session. Each session will feature a symposium, forums, and conversations about learning.
Symposium. Each half-day session will begin with a plenary symposium focused on the topic for that session. Each symposium will feature a panel discussion by leaders and practitioners in the specific topic area, followed by a question-and-answer period involving Summit participants. Participants are encouraged not only to ask questions of the panelists, but also to share brief descriptions of ways their colleges are working to make that aspect of their institution more learning centered.
Forums. Held concurrently, the forums for each half-day session will follow the symposium and will feature a team of two or three participants from a college presenting successful approaches to achieving educational transformation in the topic area. Presenters will provide specific examples of successful strategies and practices used at their college. The call for proposals for forum presentations will be issued January 16, 2006.
Conversations About Learning. Each half-day session will end with conversations about learning designed to provide college teams the opportunity to regroup and reflect on their experiences at the Summit and to begin discussing ways to apply their learning at their college. Teams may choose to use this time to meet with other college teams and/or individuals. For participants who are the sole representative from their institution, these conversations will offer an opportunity to continue symposium and forum dialogues and to discuss challenges, obstacles, and successes with others. Individuals may also choose to use this time for meeting with specific college teams and/or individuals.
The 2006 Learning College Summit has the following goals:
If you want to learn more about the process of transforming the structures, procedures, and practices of your institution to focus on producing meaningful and successful student learning, the 2006 Learning College Summit will give you an opportunity to share ideas, approaches, and experiences with colleagues in higher education.

As we approach the trade deadline, our countdown takes to one of the more overlooked major trades the Royals conducted in the 1980s - #45 Danny Jackson for #46 Kurt Stillwell.
I just watched "Charlie Wilson's War" and although the movie was pretty mediocre, there is a great parable told by Phillip Seymour Hoffman as they celebrate the defeat of the Soviets in Afghanistan.
Gust Avrakotos: There's a little boy and on his 14th birthday he gets a horse... and everybody in the village says, "how wonderful. the boy got a horse" And the Zen master says, "we'll see."
Two years later The boy falls off the horse, breaks his leg, and everyone in the village says, "how terrible." And the Zen master says, "We'll see."
Then, a war breaks out and all the young men have to go off and fight... except the boy can't cause his legs all messed up. and everybody in the village says, "How wonderful."
Charlie Wilson: Now the Zen master says, "We'll see."
In this case, he was illustrating how a victory like the win in Afghanistan can suddenly turn out to be a burden when the freedom-fighters you train later turn into Western-hating Muslim extremists who overthrow their government and plot to bomb American targets.
A less dramatic example might be the Danny Jackson-Kurt Stillwell trade. When the trade was made, it seemed like the Royals had made a great deal, trading an 18 game loser for a promising young shortstop, a position the Royals had failed to effectively fill since the days of Fred Patek. A year later, Jackson won 23 games for the Reds, and it looked like the Royals had repeated the tragedy of the David Cone deal. When their careers were all said and done, however, the Danny Jackson-Kurt Stillwell deal was pretty even. Both ended up being pretty mediocre, but solid players who never quite fulfilled the potential many saw in them.
Danny Jackson was a left-handed pitcher from Aurora, Colorado. He attended the University of Oklahoma, but after one season, transferred to Trinidad Community College. He was taken in the January Secondary Phase of the 1982 Draft first overall by the Kansas City Royals. He immediately pitched well, winning seventeen games between A ball Charleston and AA Jacksonville with a 2.50 ERA. In 1983, at the age of 21, he posted a 3.97 ERA in Omaha and earned a cup of coffee with the Royals.
The Royals opened 1984 with a very young team. They were missing injured players like Dennis Leonard and George Brett, as well as suspended players like Willie Wilson, serving time for violating federal drug laws. They started three outfielders - Butch Davis, Pat Sheridan and Darryl Motley, all of whom had yet to spend a full year in the big leagues. And their rotation featured two rookies - Mark Gubicza and Danny Jackson. Jackson started well with a five inning, one run performance against Milwaukee, but he lost his next five starts before being demoted to the bullpen. By June he was back in Omaha, where he posted a 3.67 ERA in sixteen starts.
The Royals summoned Jackson in September for their surprising post-season run and inserted him into the rotation. He lost a tough complete game when he allowed a walk-off home run to Alvin Davis in a 2-1 loss, but pitched effectively overall as the Royals went on to win the division, aided by another rookie Royals pitcher - Bret Saberhagen.
To begin the 1985 season, the Royals trusted a trio of young, second year pitchers - Saberhagen, Gubicza and Jackson, as well as relatively inexperienced older pitchers Bud Black and Charlie Leibrandt.
"Jackson could really help us. I really saw a lot of improvement in him last September. I liked what I saw. If we see a tad more improvement, there is no reason he shouldn't move in and be a starter for us."
-Manager Dick Howser
It was a bold step for a team coming off a division title, but it would turn out to be a smashing success. Jackson got off to an amazing start, tossing complete game shutouts in his first two starts. He tossed another complete game shutout against the rival Twins in June and blanked the Indians a few starts later. He ended the year 14-12 with a 3.42 ERA, third on the club. In thirty-two starts, he gave up just seven home runs. The Royals, with their young rotation, were AL West champs.
In the 1985 American League Championship Series, the Royals got down three games to one against Toronto, needing a win to stave off elimination. They turned to Jackson in Game Five. Jackson had dominated the Blue Jays that year with a 1.99 ERA in three starts. That track record carried into the post-season, as he pitched brilliantly with a complete game shutout in a 2-0 Royals victory to keep them alive.
''Danny had a rough time in the middle innings. Some guys might look to the bullpen in that situation but not Danny Jackson. He wanted the ball.''
-Dick Howser
''I think Jackson is one of the best left-handers in the league. Give him credit. He got the outs.''
-Blue Jays outfielder Jesse Barfield
The Royals would battle back and defeat the Blue Jays to advance to the World Series against the cross-state Cardinals. Jackson would take the ball in Game One, and would give up just two runs in seven innings. But he would be a hard luck loser as the Royals could manage little offense in the 3-1 defeat. Jackson would get the start again in Game Five, again with the Royals down three games to one. And once again Jackson rose to the challenge with a complete game victory. The Royals would storm back and win the World Championship.
"Danny has done it in the past when we needed a big win. If I had to pick one pitcher to come through for us in a game we had to win, I'd pick Danny Jackson."
-Royals catcher John Wathan
Lowest Post-Season ERA in Royals History (min. 10 innings)
Danny Jackson 1.04 (26 IP)
Renie Martin 1.84 (14 2/3 IP)
Bret Saberhagen 2.16 (33 1/3 IP)
Paul Splittorff 2.79 (38 2/3 IP)
Dan Quisenberry 3.29 (27 1/3 IP)
Jackson began the 1986 season on the disabled list with an ankle injury, then made three relief appearances before joining the rotation in May. He started sluggishly, but ended the year strong, posting a 2.65 ERA in sixteen games after the All-Star break. He ended the year with a 3.20 ERA, tops on the club, but the punchless Royals could provide little offense, and he finished with a disappointing 11-12 record.
1987 was disastrous for Jackson. He dropped nine of his first eleven decisions and was ejected after just two pitches in a game against Cleveland after allegedly throwing at Indians outfielder Brett Butler and instigating a bench clearing brawl. In frustration with his disappointing season, Jackson changed his jersey number, but to no avail. He would finish with a 4.02 ERA and his eighteen losses would be the second most in the league.
The Royals finished 1987 with the worst run production in the league, so General Manager John Schuerholz looked to deal one of his promising young pitchers for a bat. The Cubs offered catcher Jody Davis for Jackson, but a deal was not made. The Royals instead focused on improving the shortstop position. Their shortstops in 1987 had combined to hit an anemic .221/.251/.280. Danny Jackson's fate was about to cross with that of Kurt Stillwell.
Kurt Stillwell was a California kid with a Midwestern attitude, the son of former Major Leaguer Ron Stillwell. He was the second player taken in the 1983 Amateur Draft by the Cincinnati Reds. He hit .324 as an 18 year old in his first pro season, and by 1986 he was a reserve infielder in the big leagues. Manager Pete Rose nicknamed him "Opie" for his boyish looks. Stillwell struggled on defense and didn't dazzle with the bat, but he was young and was considered loaded with potential.
Cincinnati had a logjam of middle infielders with veterans Dave Concepcion, Ron Oester and youngsters Barry Larkin, Jeff Treadway, and Stillwell, all vying for playing time. In 1987, Stillwell was nearly dealt in separate deals for Giants pitchers Rick Reuschel and Padres pitcher Eric Show. That winter, several teams inquired about the young infielder, including the Yankees and Expos. New Reds General Manager Murray Cook wanted to upgrade the Cincinnati pitching staff and asked the Royals about Mark Gubicza. The Royals had three left-handers in their rotation in Jackson, Black, and Leibrandt, and were more willing to deal one of them. At the Winter Meetings, the Royals acquired Kurt Stillwell and pitcher Ted Power for Danny Jackson and shortstop Angel Salazar.
"Our top priority this winter has been to solidify that very key shortstop position. With the acquisition of Stillwell, we believe we have done that. He is regarded as one of the finest young shortstops in baseball and we believe he gives us long-term stability at a very vital position."
-Royals General Manager John Schuerholz
In the spring of 1988, Kurt Stillwell was penciled in as the starting shortstop with hopes he would occupy that position for years to come. He would go hitless in his first eight Royals at-bats before doubling, and hitting an inside-the-park home run against Toronto. Stillwell would slug .458 in April, a number unheard of for a Royals shortstop.
"Being here is new life for me. Great does not cover it. This is where I'm supposed to be. I really feel like I fit in and belong here."
Going into the All-Star break, Stillwell was hitting .261/.337/.428, good for a 117 OPS+. When Ozzie Guillen and Alan Trammell went down with injury, Stillwell was named as an injury replacement on the American League roster. However, he would hit just .231 in the second half, and would miss most of September with injury. Still, he would end the year hitting .251 with 10 home runs and 53 RBI, numbers the Royals hadn't ever seen out of a shortstop.
Meanwhile, in Cincinnati, Danny Jackson was enjoying a career year. He would win a league high 23 games, post a 2.76 ERA, finish second in innings pitched, toss six shutouts, finish second in Cy Young balloting, and ninth in MVP balloting.
''Well, Stillwell is a guy who made the All-Star team at shortstop. I'd make that trade again tomorrow. I said when we made it that Danny would win 20 with the Reds.''
-John Schuerholz
The Royals had high hopes for Stillwell in 1989, to justify dealing Jackson. But Stillwell struggled mightily to begin the season and was hitting under the Mendoza Line by May. He would then catch fire, collecting hits in thirteen of fourteen games, including a three hit, two home run performance in Minnesota. An 0-23 slump in September would drop his average to .261 to end the year. Danny Jackson meanwhile, would make just twenty starts due to injury, posting an awful 5.60 ERA.
Best Season by a Royals Shortstop by OPS+
Jay Bell 1997 - 115 (.291/.368/.461 21 HR 92 RBI)
U L Washington 1982 - 106 (.286/.338/.412 10 HR 60 RBI)
Angel Berroa 2003 - 101 (.287/.338/.451 17 HR 73 RBI)
Kurt Stillwell 1988 - 101 (.251/.322/.399 10 HR 53 RBI)
Kurt Stillwell 1989 - 99 (.261/.325/.380 7 HR 54 RBI)
Stillwell seemed to finally fulfill the star potential many saw in him when he got off to a terrific start in 1990. Over three games in April, he collected nine hits, including three doubles and a home run. He hit .386 in April, leading the league in hitting. He would collect four three-hit games that month, and would go 4-5 on June 13 to lift his average above .300. After that point, he would hit just .205 the rest of the season, bothered in part by a painful kidney stone in July. He would end the year hitting just .249 with just three home runs and a career high twenty-four errors. Danny Jackson made just twenty-one starts, although he improved to a 3.61 ERA.
That off-season, the spry Stillwell gained twenty pounds to bulk up to 185 pounds. He again got off to a hot start, hitting .317 in April, but by Independence Day, he was down to .255. New manager Hal McRae decided to bench Stillwell and third baseman Kevin Seitzer in favor of David Howard and Bill Pecota to improve the defense, infuriating the two veterans. Howard would fail to hit much however, and by September, Stillwell had won his job back. He would finish at .261 with six home runs and 51 RBI. Danny Jackson, having signed with the Chicago Cubs would win just one game and post a 6.75 ERA in fourteen starts.
Stillwell filed for free agency that fall, and despite having a home in suburban Kansas City, he was all too eager to part from the Royals and manager Hal McRae. Stillwell had few kind words for the Royals skipper, feeling he had been scapegoated for the Royals lousy season.
"We never had a relationship. There was no communication whatsoever. Ever. It was just one of those things. You came in, put the uniform on and there was never anything there. It wasn't just me. Very few people on the team, as far as I know, had a relationship where they could sit down and talk to the guy."
The Yankees showed interest in the switch-hitting twenty-six year old, but he ultimately agreed to sign a three year deal with the Padres to play second base. He would play terribly, hitting just .227 in his first season in San Diego, and .215 in his second before being released with a year left on his deal. He would spend 1994-1996 in the minor leagues before getting a handful of at-bats with the Texas Rangers and retiring at the age of 31. Today he works for notorious sports agent Scott Boras in player relations.
Jackson, meanwhile pitched reasonably well for the Cubs in 1992 before being acquired by the Pirates for their pennant push. He was selected by the Florida Marlins in the expansion draft, but before ever wearing the teal garb, he was dealt to the Philadelphia Phillies. In 1993 he would win twelve games for the NL Champion Phillies. In 1994, he would finish 14-6 with a 3.26 ERA, be named an All-Star, and finish sixth in Cy Young balloting. He signed a three year $10 million deal with the Cardinals, but would win just three games with a 5.78 ERA. He also overcame a battle with thyroid cancer. He retired after the 1997 season, at the age of 35. He still resides in the Kansas City area, owning the entertainment center "Incredabowl" in Overland Park.
At the time of the deal, it looked like the Royals were getting a player to man shortstop for a decade. A year later, it looked like the Royals had made a huge blunder letting Jackson go. Three years later, it looked like the Royals had dealt an average, but injured left-handed starting pitcher for a light-hitting, oft-injured shortstop. Maybe the bad trades aren't really that bad after all. We'll see.

STAMFORD — The three words heard most often on the Stamford High School sideline Friday night, a constant reminder to the defense, were "Watch No. 1."
Unfortunately, the Black Knights too often did just that.
Shabashe McIntosh, Bridgeport Central's explosive running back who wears jersey No. 1, rushed for 136 yards and four touchdowns to ignite a 33-16 win at Boyle Stadium. It was the statement win the team was seeking, which came at the expense of the Black Knights' four-game winning streak.
"We knew this was going to be a really tough game," McIntosh said. "Our line did a really good job. They executed well and I just followed the blocks."
Central improved to 5-2. Its four previous wins came against teams with a combined record of 3-21.
"This was a Super Bowl game for us," Central coach Dave Cadelina said. "In the wins we have we were the favorites, just by our numbers and size. Stamford's a great team with a potent offense, so this means a lot."
The Hilltoppers finished with 357 yards on the ground, with a run-to-pass ratio of 65-3. Their only completion came on the first attempt, a 30-yard pass on a fake punt from David Rhoden to McIntosh that set up the team's third score.
Frederick Tucker led Central with 177 yards on 33 carries.
"We had a hard time getting lined up," Stamford coach Bryan Hocter said. "The kids were not communicating with each other, the defensive tackles were not lining up with right. We got out of our element and didn't focus."
Stamford struggled from the outset. A fumble on the fourth play of the game was returned 3 yards for a touchdown by Keishaun Fernandez, the first of three turnovers. Quarterback Barry Boderick completed 13 of 28 passes for 185 yards, with one interception. He ran for one score and threw for another, but the Black Knights were held to a lone safety in the second half on a snap out of the end zone.
Hocter admitted his players might have been feeling a little too good about themselves following last week's win over unbeaten Trumbull, which led to a lot of media attention and Hocter being name the region's high school coach of the week by the New York Giants.
"It's great to have all the awards and all the accolades, that's tremendous, but I think that got to our heads," Hocter said. "It was just one of those nights. They are a big team, physical and they are faster than I gave them credit for. They beat us up. We lost to a better football team."
Central took the quick lead on a bad snap by Stamford on its own 32. The ball went sailing back and was batted before Fernandez scooped it up.
Another fumble later in the quarter led to McIntosh's 1-yard run that made the score 12-0.
Stamford answered right back and went on to trade scores with Central. Boderick hit Jake Demetros for a 13-yard score early in the second quarter, on a pass deflected away from the intended receiver.
The next series featured the fake punt from the Hilltoppers' 41. The Black Knights' Carlos Martinez got his hands on it, but McIntosh was still able to make the reception, then scored from 11 yards on the next play.
Stamford answered back four plays later, with Mark Seward's 27-yard run setting up a 3-yard touchdown by Boderick, who did his best Fran Tarkenton impersonation to scramble away from pressure.
McIntosh got his third touchdown of the half, from 8 yards, with 3:00 left for a 25-14 advantage.
The shootout settled down after the half, but not before McIntosh scored on a 1-yard run late in the third quarter, then added the 2-point conversion.
"We felt like we had a lot to prove," McIntosh said. "People were saying our wins were against easy teams. We knew Stamford was good. We did a good job."

The tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary again raised concerns that something needs to be done to stop violent crimes. Just recently in Midland City, Alabama a young boy was held captive for days until police shot and killed the suspect.
Crimes, like these, are taking over the news almost every day and one Mississippi official says more needs to be done.
Public Safety Commissioner Albert Santa Cruz said, "Most of the time these things happen, people come back and say 'oh so and so, we knew this, we knew that, he was violent.' I think as law enforcement we have kind of dropped the ball on this, too."
Santa Cruz said many times there are signs something is not right. In Alabama, neighbors have now come forward about several things that should have raised a red flag.
"We need to do something about it. I think, what's a child's life worth? Or a life, period? What's it worth?"
Officers say they need your help to stop crime. If you notice something, even if you think it is not a big deal, pick up the phone and call authorities.
Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun said, "It's a team effort without all of us working together, we will fail."
Sgt. Doug Adams with Pascagoula Police Department said, "We answer every single call no matter how big or small it is. If you feel something is wrong, you need to call us to check it out because you never know where it's going to lead."
The officers said another way to help is by snapping a picture or taking a video on your cell phone.
"That word gets to the bad guys and they will not be coming to that community very long, but unfortunately they might go to a community that is not doing those things," Ward said.
Officers say they realize in some situations it may be uncomfortable to call, but they would never reveal anything that would put you in jeopardy.
"I think we can do more to curb it than what we are doing, but we all need to work together. That's the bottom line," Santa Cruz said. "The public and law enforcement needs to work together on this."
If you see a crime happening or know something that may happen soon, officers say you should call 911. If you know of information about a crime that already occurred, you can call your local police department or call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 1-877-787-5898.
You can also text the word CSTIPS and your message to 274637 (CRIMES). Or submit a tip online at https://www.tipsubmit.com/webtips.aspx?AgencyID=523&DSID=523

5th-Year Steptoe Patent Litigation Associate Stars in Adidas Ad With Redskins Quarterback
Posted Jul 26, 2012 3:25 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Tremayne Norris isn't giving up his day job as a patent litigation associate ... yet.
But the fifth-year associate at Steptoe & Johnson's office in the nation's capital says he's looking forward to more acting gigs after being cast in a starring role with Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III in his first television commercial, reports the Washington Post.
In the ad, the 31-year-old Norris, who played as a tight end at Morgan State University, is haunted everywhere he goes, as he heads to a game, by visions of Gill, known to fans as RGIII. And indeed, in the final moments of the Adidas Adizone shoe commercial, which is linked to the Post article, the quarterback leaps over the fallen Norris to score a touchdown.
The experience of filming the commercial in various Washington, D.C., locations was nonetheless a blast, Norris tells the newspaper.
"I didn't mind being the guy that gets hurdled over right before he gets to the endzone," he said. "This is RGIII's commercial, I'm just there. Being the guy that's supposed to be opposite him on the defensive side, of course I'm going to get showed up."

CATEGORIES Action, Fandom, Distribution, 20th Century Fox, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels, Movies, CinematicalThe last "Edited for Television" movie I watched was Die Hard 2 on CBS when I was a kid. As Bruce blew that plane to bits with his lighter, he said -- in a horribly overdubbed voice -- "Yippee ki-yay, Mr. Falcon." Never mind that no one in the film was named Mr. Falcon! That bit of mindless watering down at least made sense -- after all they're not going to drop the 'F' bomb on primetime television. This bit of mindless watering down is a lot harder to swallow: It's official. Live Free or Die Hard will be rated 'PG-13.' Bruce Willis spoke with aintitcool last week and confirmed the rating. June's Vanity Fair interview had Willis disappointed that his film was going to be cut to avoid an 'R.' He told the magazine, "I really wanted this one to live up to the promise of the first one, which I always thought was the only really good one." (Gotta disagree with him there). "That's a studio decision that is becoming more and more common, because they're trying to reach a broader audience. It seems almost a courageous move to give a picture an 'R' rating these days." It sure does. So why not be courageous?!
Now the PR machine is in full swing and Bruce is saying that those comments were taken out of context at a time when he hadn't yet seen the film. Now, after what surely was a stern talking-to by the studio, Bruce has seen the movie and he thinks it's better than the original. He claims you would never be able to tell what the rating was if you didn't know it, and that watching it, he was on the edge of his seat "at least 6 times." He insists the action and intensity are still there. That may be, but the foulmouthed John McClane we know and grew up loving simply won't. I think this is a damn shame. Excuse me, a darn shame. I've got a lot of friends who say they won't go see a 'PG-13' Die Hard film. Scott made the same claim last week. I personally don't think I have the willpower to skip it, but the news fills me with a real dread. Oh well -- I'm sure the people at Fox know what they're doing. Releasing a 'PG-13' sequel to a movie that was a huge, beloved 'R' - rated smash could only bring in more money, right? Sure. Just look at Fox's Speed 2: Cruise Control.

Thoughts Of A Retired
By Val Till
Chambrays Sugar Bear CGC TDI
Thoughts of A Retired Show Dog
-By Sugar Bear Till
Well, Sunday, December 9, 2001 was certainly a special turning point for my Mom and me. That's the day she hung up my show collar and lead for the last time and I officially became just another family pet.
No longer Sugar Bear, the Star but Sugar Bear, Couch Potato.
Now, I wasn't sure what all that meant right off the bat but I found out soon enough.
It meant that if I let the fur fly and chased one of the neighborhood cats around the backyard I wouldn't have to get a bath right away. If I woofed down a few extra milkbones, I wouldn't have to worry about the love handles around my tummy! And, it meant that I'd be spending more time with my sister Tess.
But, it meant other things too.
It meant that I would no longer have to parade around in the show ring standing helplessly while all of those old lady judges groped my private parts. I mean, shouldn't they have been home doing that sort of thing with their husbands?
It meant fewer trips to the South Miami Hospital parking garage. That's where my Mom,the Drill Sergeant took me to work out four nights a week. Rain or shine, we ran down those ramps and up the stairs. Gee, we went there so often, we just about had every crack in the pavement memorized. Not to mention that we were on a first-name basis with Gus, the security guard. Mom would always fill him in on the triumphs and tragedies of each show. He'd always wish us the very best of luck with that big wide grin of his. Gus was really neat.
After our workouts, I always enjoyed sprawling out on the cool pavement up on the roof when the visiting hours were over. We listened quietly to the sounds of the hectic city below and watched the stars dance above us. Mom used to wish on those stars all the time that I'd win the right-colored ribbon. As for me, the real prize would have been scoring a date with Chancey, Penny, Bailey, Clancy or Cha Cha. Now, a night out with one of those hot babes would have been worth a hundred blue ribbons. But I suppose it's just a matter of priorities.
So now, as my third birthday approaches, I can safely say that I've been a show dog and survived it. It really wasn't such a bad experience now that I think of it. I will miss the early morning drives to the shows in the quiet of the truck cuddled up next to Mom, she rubbing my head as I slept. I'll miss Thursday night practice, the pre-show pep talks, the hooting and hollering and the applause.
Mom had her chance with me in the show ring, too. Though our show partnership was less than stellar, it sure provided a barrel of laughs for the peanut gallery. All in all, it was great fun.
And we learned a lot too!
We learned that there's victory even in defeat. We learned how to pick ourselves up, dust off our backsides and realize that even if we wound up bringing up the rear of the pack that there was always another show in another town with another judge and another chance to shine. We learned how to smile through the tears. We learned how to congratulate the winner when you really wanted to lift your leg on 'em instead! We learned that it wasn't really about ribbons and points, but about love, friendship, faith and companionship.
And when all was said and done, the applause died down, the lights went out, and the show was over, Mom and I were still together…still a team.
And regardless of whether I'd won or lost, I was already a champion. Because I had
won her heart. And that's the biggest, most important blue ribbon of all.
So, thanks for the memories everybody!
So Long and Happy Trails,
Sugar Bear
Editors Post Script: Bear is now Chambrays Sugar Bear CGC TDI a contributing member of society pulling Therapy Dog sessions with the author, owner and confidant, Val Till. As Bear's breeder, I am just as proud of him as I am all the show champions that adorn the Great Wall of Champions. I have dedicated a special page for those dogs that serve the community with service work and Bear is featured there as well and also with several other stories that he has been involved with.

When your pregnant when do breast milk start comen in?
Question by Sachaalee Donewiffalldemhoes: When your pregnant when do breast milk start comen in?
So im bout 5 or 6 weeks pregnant and i dont have any breast milk is that normal ? IF so when do you start to get milk ?
Best answer:
Answer by Spot of Tea
Not for a long time. Colostrum (clearish liquid) will start producing in the late stages of pregnancy and your milk will not likely come in until a few days after birth.

And now Ferguson also has a win in the Strikeforce cage, although it wasn't the most impressive one, a second-round submission against a low-level fighter named John Richard who actually hurt Ferguson at the start of both the first and second rounds. Ferguson did manage to make Richard tap out to a knee bar, but Ferguson admitted after the fight that he hadn't fought particularly well, giving himself a grade of D-minus.
Ferguson thanked trainer Lloyd Irvin for teaching him the knee bar submission.
"That leg lock? Straight Lloyd Irvin, baby," Ferguson said.
Richard threw a hard left hand at the start of the fight and took Ferguson down, and Richard had Ferguson's back for much of the first round before Ferguson turned the tables and dominated Richard for the latter part of the round. In the second round Richard hit Ferguson hard again, but once the fight was on the ground Ferguson easily took control and got the submission.
If Ferguson were in his early 20s, I'd say he's a good prospect for Strikeforce to have on its Challengers cards. Unfortunately, Ferguson is in his mid-30s, and he doesn't have much of a future in the sport. But he does have a 3-0 record after beating Richard.

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are incorporated into every cell of the body, and are key structural, metabolic, and regulatory components of cells. EFAs must be consumed through diet because the body is unable to manufacture them, and without them, we can not live. They improve and regulate cellular function, reduce inflammation, modulate immune response, optimize health and well-being, and help prevent chronic disease. AIMega® is an organic seed oil blend that delivers an important source of healthful and essential omega-3, -6 and-9 fatty acids.
Essential fatty acids (EFAs)
Just like other essential nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals obtained through the diet, dietary sources of essential fatty acids (EFAs) are absolutely necessary for optimal health and well-being. EFAs (essential fatty acids) are the main structural component of every cell, and every cell requires them for healthy cell growth and division. EFAs keep the membranes of our cells fluid, and allow entry of important nutrients into the cells, as well as the removal of toxins (cellular waste).
Additionally, certain EFAs are metabolized into longer-chain fatty acids which are, in turn, converted to hormone-like compounds known as eicosanoids, including a group of mediators called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are the critical components that effect physiologic functions such as cell growth and division, platelet aggregation (blood clotting), inflammatory responses, vasoconstriction and vasodilation of blood vessels, blood pressure, and immune function. EFAs restore energy, help us digest our foods, transport nutrients throughout the cells, contribute toward healthy hormone balance, and help us to maintain healthy blood lipid levels.
AIMega® offers a healthy ratio of omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids
Optimal health and well-being depends upon an adequate intake of EFAs from healthy fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated). These "good fats" with their essential fatty acids must be supplied in the diet because the body is not able to manufacture them. AIMega® is an organic seed oil blend that combines healthy EFAs from organic flax, sesame, olive, and sunflower oils, with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for additional health benefit. This formula offers a healthy ratio omega-3, -6, and-9 from "good" sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat, providing the daily nutrition needed to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.
The complete Whole Body Nutrition line consists of AIM AIMega™, the AIM Garden Trio® — AIM BarleyLife®, AIM Just Carrots®, and AIM RediBeets®. Use these products for a solid foundation for your health.

Located north of Cardinia Reservoir, Aura Vale Lake plays a very important role in Melbourne's water supply. The lake forms part of a drainage system designed to channel run-off water from neighbouring properties and roads, and stop it entering the main reservoir. This system prevents polluted water from affecting the quality of our drinking water.
Over the past years Aura Vale Lake Park has become a popular venue for boating activities including sailboarding and canoeing and for other small non-powered boats up to 3.3 metres. Swimming is not permitted due to poor water quality and submerged objects.
The park is open 10am to 6pm during daylight saving time.

It's been since 2005 the Seahawks last held home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs and made it all the way to the Super Bowl, only to lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers (whose fans, I should note, are still probably seething over the Chargers' win that kept their team out of the playoffs for the second year in a row.) As much as I admire the Bolts for giving it all they had against a Kansas City Chiefs' second unit (and winning by a mere three points in overtime), this isn't entirely about the AFC. No, this is all about the upcoming Wild Card weekend, and whom the Hawks will potentially face in two weeks' time.
Speaking of the Kansas City Chiefs, they have the dubious honor of kicking off the playoffs with a road game against the Indianapolis Colts (Saturday, January 4; 4:35 PM Eastern (NBC)). As of this post, the Chiefs currently are tied with the Cincinnati Bengals for the league's sixth-best scoring offense (averaging 26.9 points per game), and likewise tied for the league's fifth-best scoring defense (allowing 19.1 points per game). On the other side of the ball, the Indianapolis Colts have given up an average of 21 points per game, good for 9th; while their offense is currently ranked 14th, scoring an average of 24.4 points per game. If the Chiefs have learned anything from their last meeting with the Colts, and execute well in all three phases, Kansas City should advance.
The nightcap game features the New Orleans Saints against the Philadelphia Eagles (January 4; 8:10 PM Eastern (NBC)). While Nick Foles has managed to be a consistent, reliable quarterback to fill in for Michael Vick (Foles has started in 10 games, has gone 8-2 in that stretch) to boost the Eagles to the fourth-best scoring offense (well ahead of the Saints, currently ranked at 10th); you have to tip your hat to Rob Ryan as he's managed to turn the Saints' defense into a top-five unit. This one should tilt in the Saints' favor if they manage to keep Foles out of rhythm, and we could see New Orleans paying a visit to CLink in a divisional showdown.
Sunday, January 5 is when the San Diego Chargers square off against the Cincinnati Bengals (1:05 PM Eastern (CBS)). In spite of Andy Dalton's four interceptions, the Bengals still managed to dispatch their divisional rivals and send them packing. San Diego managed to squeak in by virtue of an overtime win, but the Bolts can be hit-or-miss at times (they were 5-7 as of Week 13, and had it not been for rattling off four wins in a row, they would be watching the playoffs instead of playing in them.) Incidentally, the Bengals handed the Bolts their seventh loss in Week 13, and although first-year HC Mike McCoy has done well, unless Cincy suffers from a breakdown on offense (and the Bolts cash in) this will most likely go the Bengals' way.
The late afternoon matchup (4:40 PM Eastern (FOX)) sees the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers in yet another playoff grudge match. We all know what happened last January, when the Niners won 45-31 over the Pack to send the red-and-gold to the NFC Conference Championship. I wouldn't be surprised if the Packers would be looking for a little payback for that one, and even though the Niners have the better defense (currently 3rd in the league), don't count out Aaron Rodgers to lead his offensive unit down the field for the game-winner. If that happens and should the Saints falter against the Eagles, we could see the Pack coming to Seattle. Otherwise, it'll be the Niners making the trip north if New Orleans loses to Philly (as the 5th seed, and therefore the lowest-surviving seed advancing out of the first round).
So, here's my question for my fellow Field Gulls readers. Which team would you want our Seahawks to face in the divisional round?

A Dixon state representative hopes some new Illinois legislation will keep a theft like Rita Crundwell's from ever happening again. The new plan includes harsher penalties and more government oversight.
Lawmakers overwhelmingly passed three bills in the house. But there are concerns at least some of the legislation just adds more government to municipalities that already have oversight in place.
"That we have effective and strong prosecution at our disposal on the state level to make sure we can effectively deter this from happening and prosecute those who do it," says Representative Tom Demmer.
He is a Dixon native helped introduce what's being called the Anti-corruption Legislation. It was created after Rita Crundwell pled guilty to stealing $53 million as Dixon's comptroller. One bill allows for forgery charges to be brought if an invoice or a receipt is counterfeited. The second establishes higher penalties for theft or misapplication of public funds.
"Both of those kind of recognizing that forgery is already illegal, theft is already illegal but when it happens with local government is has that added impact of harming people's trust and confidence in local government. So we recognize that maybe those need a little more stronger teeth in prosecution," says Demmer.
The third creates safeguards by making all counties and municipalities create a finance and audit committee which includes members of the government and the public. Winnebago County already has something like it, its called the finance committee.
"In some ways it would be redundant," says Bill Crowley, Winnebago County auditor.
That's because not only is each department audited and brought before that county committee. They have also gone a step farther.
"We have the checkbook online, you can go on our website and you can actually see the payments that we make to various vendors in real time," says Crowley.
The bills are currently in the Illinois Senate. It still has to pass out of committee but senators should vote on the bills in May.
