I know, FTH right?
Cody Ross was one of the many who came through the revolving door that was the Reds roster back in '06. Wayner picked him up from the Dodgers for a song and, after 5 memorable ABs with the club, quickly sold him to the Marlins for a few thousand JC Penney gift cards (he is reportedly a rabid admirer of their St John's Bay line). He got 250 ABs with the Marlins and induced almost as many yawns. '07 was a teaser year from Ross, as he only had 173 ABs due to a hamstring injury, but he really made good with what little time he had. He posted a line of .335/.411/.653 in 66 games and played admirable defense at all 3 outfield positions.

In '08, Ross failed to match his Pujolsian production of the previous year, but still put up a respectable line of .260/.316/.488 in 461 ABs. According to Justin, he was the second-most valuable CF in the National League, behind only Shane Victorino. He posted a RAR of 23.1, FRAR of 8.5, and a Total Value of 32.1. In case you were wondering, the soon-to-be free agent and all-around good guy Adam Dunn posted a Total Value of 23.8. He will be arb-eligible for the first time this winter and the Marlins may be looking to shed a few of their 16 arb-eligible players. According to this post at MLBTraderumors the Marlins are looking to keep him, but perhaps the allure of a few intriguing prospects and the reduction of payroll could be enough to pry him loose.
So those are the positives. He's a right-handed high SLG-low OBP guy who rates as an above average center fielder. But of course, that low OBP should set off alarms. .316 (his lifetime is .324) is just a notch better than our favorite free-swinger Brandon Phillips. This team has an issue getting on base as it is, and Ross would do little to remedy that. And this whole exercise could be rendered moot if the Marlins are not interested in trading him at all. So there is that as well. And we cannot overlook the fact that he's had exactly one fully productive season in the major leagues. Those are the negatives.
Ross in LF sounds much more palatable to me than the expensive (both in prospects and $$) soon-to-be free agent Matt Holliday and the expensive and soon-to-be old Magglio Ordonez. He rates as a great defensive LF, though his OPS of ~.820 would be a bit below average. All together though, he would be a solidly above average guy to have in our outfield.
So what kind of trade package would it take to get Ross from the Marlins? It certainly wouldn't take any of the players on our current ML roster, which is a big plus. They won't be asking for Cueto. I'm not even sure it would take any of our top 5 prospects, like Frazier, Stubbs, Valaika, or Soto. They just sent Mike Jacobs to the Royals for an unproven and unspectacular middle reliever, so that should give us a bit of an indicator. Though Ross is more valuable than Jacobs, I think a package of mid-tier prospects should get it done.
Defense, in both the infield and outfield, has been one of the most damning problems for this team for a while now. Ross would be a huge defensive upgrade in the outfield while holding his own with the stick. He also would not be cost-prohibitive, as he stands to make a Corey Patterson wage this year and shouldn't cost us any of our most valuable prospects. This is something the Reds should seriously look into.

House and Senate Committees Move Spending Bills, but Huge Gaps Remain
August 2, 2013
by Paula Skedsvold
House and Senate appropriators have advanced most of the twelve spending bills, but getting floor action on many of them will be difficult. As they leave for a five-week break, the opportunities for either a grand bargain or reasoned compromise before the end of the fiscal year on September 30th are quickly shrinking.
Before leaving, Senate appropriators marked up two bills that set spending levels for NIH and NSF. The Senate numbers assume that sequestration cuts will be cancelled in FY 2014, although no agreement has been reached to reverse the cuts included in the Budget Control Act. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved $30.947 billion for NIH, a $307 million increase over the FY 2013 level prior to sequestration, or a $2 billion increase over FY 2013 with sequestration cuts and transfers included. NIH has already faced $1.5 billion in sequestration cuts, and its budget has declined by 22% in constant dollars since 2003.
The Senate funding level will allow NIH to allocate $40 million for the BRAIN Initiative, and also includes an $84 million increase for NIA, funding for the Diabetes Prevention Program, and $10 million for research on preventing elderly falls. Unless a deal is reached to replace the sequester, however, the Senate numbers will be reduced since the funding levels are above the Budget Control Act caps. Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski has called for the sequester to be cancelled, the caps lifted, and a balanced deal reached to address the deficit.
House Appropriators were scheduled to take up the Labor-HHS-Education spending bill this week, but postponed its consideration. The House allocated substantially less funding for the bill, around 26% less than the Senate and 18.6% less than funding post-sequestration. Commentators reasoned that taking up the bill would highlight the deep cuts as well as differences with the Senate.
The appropriations bill funding NSF, on the other hand, was approved by both House and Senate Appropriations Committees. The House bill would fund NSF at $7 billion, $111 million above FY 2013 once current year sequestration cuts are considered. The largest increases are slated for the research accounts line, with an increase of almost $132.5 million above current funding.
Senate appropriators likewise pushed for an increase in funding for NSF. Under the Senate plan, NSF would receive $7.4 billion, an increase of $186 million over FY 2013 enacted levels, $430 million more than the House bill, and $541 million above current sequestration levels.
Despite the tight fiscal climate and lack of a broader agreement on a budget, one silver lining is that no amendments were added to the bills to eliminate or restrict funding for behavioral and social sciences research or any area of science – at least so far. Science advocates will be watching closely for any amendments if the bills are considered on the House or Senate floors.
Given that there are few days left in the fiscal year, especially when the five-week August recess is considered, a ContinuingResolution to fund government programs beyond September 30th may be needed. The $91 billion chasm between House and Senate figures may be difficult to bridge, however, making a government shutdown this year a real possibility. Republicans want to keep the top-line cap of $967 billion mandated by the BCA, while Democrats want to set the cap at the pre-sequestration level of $1.058 trillion.

Election Law
Suit Seeks to Force Democrats to Count Florida Delegates
Posted May 23, 2008 7:35 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A federal lawsuit filed yesterday claims the Democratic Party is required to count all of Florida's delegates because of the state's history of discrimination.
The suit notes that Section Five of the Voting Rights Act requires the Justice Department to approve any significant voting change in Florida to make sure it preserves the rights of minority voters, the Miami Herald reports. The suit contends the party's plans to penalize Florida for holding its primary too early will disenfranchise minority voters in violation of the law.
Florida Senate Democratic Leader Steve Geller filed the suit along with two other Democrats.

BCHS baseball getting ready for season | HS Sports
The date had been moved twice. The location moved from Cochran to Dexter. Finally, the Royals and West Laurens Raiders were able to scrimmage each other in baseball Friday night as the two schools had done for the past few years.
Both teams had multiple substitutions to allow coaches to evaluate different players as well as allow players time at different positions. Some innings were played regular while others worked on in-game situations such as two runners on, no out.
Several Bleckley players had offensive contributions including a two-run double from Landon Anderson and RBI double from Zac Evans. Austin Simmons had a sac fly and what proved to be the game-winning hit in the top of the seventh to give BC a 10-8 win.
Just learned Friday evening was a schedule change. Monday's game at Telfair County has been moved to February 20 in McRae. The Royals open regular season play Tuesday at Jeff Davis High School.

6 News Anchor/Reporter
MADISONVILLE (WATE) - It's not every day that a self-proclaimed "hillbilly" from Monroe County makes the cover of the University of Tennessee's alumni magazine, The Torchbearer.
But then again, it's not every day you run across a businessman quite like Allan Benton.
He owns Benton's Bacon and makes a bacon so unique, Esquire magazine called it the best bacon in the world.
So what makes it so good?
"We take these hams out and keep them for a couple of months to cure down to the bone," Benton said.
This businessman knows his bacon and hams, and for nearly four decades he's made them the same way in a building along Highway 411 in Madisonville.
"When I got into this business, I was trying to make hams 12 to 18 months old and sell them for the same price of 80-day hams. I was trying to talk to folks about quality and nobody was listening," he recalled.
But they're listening now, thanks to the many top-notch chefs at some of America's finest restaurants who use his hams and bacon.
From New York to California, those chefs have elevated Benton's bacon to near cult status and turned a borderline business into a thriving enterprise.
"I was starving to death 'til they came on board. I feel a real allegiance with the chefs who like my product. And they like that it's something exclusive and not something you can buy at the corner grocery store," he said.
Despite the success and the many opportunities to grow even bigger, Allan has, so far, resisted the temptation to become a store brand.
He and his dozen or so employees are focused on quality and reliability - something he believes could be the cure, no pun intended, for America's current problems.
"I truly believe that if we focused on quality in this country, whether it's cars or TVs or cell phones or ham and bacon, I believe if we focused on quality that the economy, the woes of the economy would cure themselves. We'd be selling stuff all over the world," Benton said.
For now, he's content to sell to his chefs and those who visit his store in Monroe County.
And by the way, he says not everyone likes his bacon. From its salt and brown sugar rub, to months of curing and finally days of smoking, the resulting taste is, as Allan describes it, "intense."
"I had a lady from Philadelphia three weeks ago call me up and tell me it was the absolute worst bacon she'd ever had in her life. It was too intense. So it's not for everyone, but thank goodness some people like it," he said.
And thank goodness for people like Allan Benton,who could've chosen an easier path but didn't - an example of the Spirit of East Tennessee.
If you know someone who you believe is an example of the Spirit of East Tennessee, e-mail me at email@example.com.

I am Dinesh Roy. I was suffering from low back pain for last 3 years. I am a software professional. For my problem I visited a lot of places including CMS velore and apollo chenni and visited all most all neurosurgeons and orthopedicians in the city , but with out any result. One of my friend in us told me about pain management, i searched extensively in net for a pain physician in kolkata. Finally I came to know about CPRM unit of GENESIS hospital. I visited Dr Debjyoti Dutta there. He diagnosed my problem as facet joint arthopathy and treated with radio frequency. Now after almost half of a decade i can stand straight without pain and finally get read of pain medications (i have taken each and every analgesic on earth and along with pregabaline, amitryptyline). Don't go in size and name of hospital . my experience is so. I am very thankful to Dr Dutta. N.B. : one thing i would like to mansion is dr dutta's behaviour, i really surprise how a person can be so cool under such a heavy workload. He is cool and explained every aspect of my problems. Thanks to genesis hospital dr dutta, after so many years i am enjoying a pain free life.

This was posted by the ESPN blogs and could be a possibility?... Haynesworth AND Portis to the Lions? I don't think picks need to be swapped if we are taking these guys. mayhew will see to that.. hee hee
I'm a little down on Hayneworth unless you think Jim may get him back to his dominating ways . Also if somehow Portis could redo his contract this could work out upon a trade to DET. Maybe with new surrounding both guys will explode. Apparently money cannot be given back to WASH to pick up Haynesworth according to the rules
Of course does this would mean Okung would be our pick in the draft if this happens? Or do we get Suh still and drop dead weight and have one hell of a line.... Sorry for the questions but you guys know your stuff and I want all the angles answered.
Thanks POD!!!!

Can You Hear Me Now? - The PS4 Bundled Headset
While the Xbox One is currently struggling with the fact that current headset tech will not work on the eighth generation console due to differing data processing speeds, the PlayStation 4 is bundling their own unique mono headset with every purchase of their console. The inclusion of a headset that plugs directly into the DualShock 4 is another cherry in Sony's sundae where the sprinkles are cross-game chat options and the fudge sauce is the shiny "share" button.
Terrible analogies aside, the PS4 is betting big on social gaming and giving owners the ability to chat right out of the box means a positive shared experience that eventually or immediately leads to online friendship. Either that or you're going to hear some pretty mean comments about your mother's weight and/or sexual activities from a 12-year-old boy. Yeah, it's going to be that. You do get a neat-o headset (really a earphone with a mic attached to it) out of it though.
Get Intimate
Although the Xbox One does not come with a bundled headset like the 360 before it, you can totally get told "you suck" in a plethora of different hyperbolic outbursts through the Kinect's built-in speakers. When you've had the proper amount of time to digest the insult and think of a comeback, you can yell back into your Kinect's microphone. The trick is doing it without looking like an idiot. If you want a headset and be all traditional on the Xbox One, it's going to cost you more.
Sony's PS4 is $100 cheaper than the Xbox One and comes with its own mono headset. It also plugs into a headset audio jack so most current generation devices will be supported unlike its main rival. Since it's a proprietary high data port on the Xbox One controller, there are going to be limited options available at launch. While this might help Microsoft in the future, Sony wants broad connectivity and functionality on its console. Although Sony has not officially confirmed this, developer kits can use current generation headsets and do not require any new tech in the audio department.
The PlayStation 3 was notably silent in the online world mainly because people didn't use microphones and headsets for gaming. You can also blame the latency issues on PSN for the crappy experience overall that made Xbox Live the go-to console for multiplayer. This generation could potentially spark an actual rivalry between the two services as the PSN is going pay-to-play in an effort to deliver a better online experience. Since Sony charges more or less what Xbox Live does depending on the plan, it should be enough to improve some basic features and make PSN good enough to revisit. Anyone remember that hilarious security breach?
Speak Easy
In the most basic sense of console gaming, a headset is not really a must-have accessory. Most games can be played without one with the exception of games developed specifically with a voice recognition feature. The inclusion of a headset simply makes it easier to communicate with other players who may find your banter witty enough for a friend request. The Xbox One has the Kinect and promises to be able to hear your commands and recognize your voice as you play. In this sense, the PS4 is sticking to an old school social model.
The mono headset is nothing special and that's kind of the point when it comes to a general purpose game device. Players with the means and the motivation can opt to buy a higher quality headset that boosts sound and drops the bass while cleaning up voice clarity. Since any current generation device can plug into the DualShock 4 controller, you can view the PS4 headset like the earphones given to you with every purchase of an iPod. They can deliver music, but you're not going to choose them over a SteelSeries or Turtle Beach model.
Play Hard
The PS4 currently has a distinct advantage over the Xbox One when it comes to headsets. Microsoft requires you to buy a headset on launch day either from them or a third party manufacturer if you want to talk about some bitch-ass bitch's mother. Since the tech is newer, you can't use any headset lying around your house and you specifically have to buy one of the few currently in production for the console.
The PS4 comes with a headset and while it's nothing flashy, instantly gives you communication options over PSN. This is a major role reversal from the PS3 and could be a sign of good things to come for online gaming with a Sony console. Yes, you do have to pay a monthly fee for online access. However, the money would be going towards stronger server stability and tougher security measures. Xbox Live slaps the current PSN system across the face simply because no one wants to use its crap-ass service. Sony is looking to change this with the PS4.
Adjust Volume
The quality of the PS4 headset will not wow any serious gamer who loves sweet audio and telling anonymous people online to go have sexual relations with themselves. However, it is functional and will allow you to do talk trash straight out of the box for the price of the PS4. Yes, you don't get the Playstation Camera with the bundle, but you do get to communicate nonetheless.
The upside is that you can pretty much swap out the headset for a better pair you already own on launch day while the Xbox One requires you to purchase a new one. In the short term, assuming you're willing to pay the monthly fee for PSN, you get more for less. On launch day, that could be the difference between buying an Xbox One and a PS4. OK, not really. They're headsets.

Sony's endless greed shines again
While claimed to be the game deck of the "next generation" the new PS4 is pretty much a can't do game machine.
Can't play music CDs. Want to listen to music? Got to buy that crappy monthly Sony Music service.
Can't stream anything you owned music or movies from another device on your LAN. Again you must pay for that now.
Can't use the made by Sony Bluetooth headset made for PS3. You guessed it.... Got to buy a new one.
Can't use the Made by Sony Bluetooth BD remote controller. Again..... Got to buy a new one.
Can't use the old Sony camera made by Sony....... I'm beginning to sound like a broken record... Can't....Can't....
So just what the heck can this fancy "next generation" game deck do? Play about half a dozen games and that is it.. If this is what next generation gaming is then I want crawl back to the last generation old school.
ALL Xbox one's comes with a MIC and it's quite funny that all you say about the headset not being compatible is now reversed
NO current Bluetooth headset is going to work on the PS4 (other than a couple of Sony's top end ones) and only USB will be supported sometime in the future when they can figure how to patch it.
HA nice PS4 fanboyism
The Xbox One comes with a headset.
Congrats on Hindsight Pride
Yeah. And it only took them a few weeks to put that together. It initially wasn't going to be included, but once again the consumers have spoken. Face facts, the Xbox1 is just playing catch-up with the PS4. Looks to be a trend with this generation.
It's a damn shame they don't
It's a damn shame they don't have any good exclusives at launch, all they got are PC's sloppy seconds. But it will be a late bloomer like the PS3.... I still don't know if that is good or bad.

WATE's The Bachelorette Blogger
It's that time again! As the hours pass, we get closer and closer to the new season of The Bachelorette, starring my favorite Katie Holmes look-a-like, Desiree Hartsock.
If you saw her on last season's The Bachelor with Sean Lowe, then chances are high that you also became an instant member of her fan club. You were probably shocked when he sent her home packing after an awkward hometown visit and strange chit-chat with her gangsta brother.
Des won America over with her girl-next-door ways, her chestnut eyes, and her fabulous bangs, which I am SO sad to see didn't make a return as of yet. She seemed to have the most fun with Sean.
And let's be honest, girlfriend lived in a tent growing up, so you know she's got some tales to tell.
Regardless of her charm or their chemistry, Desiree's brother pulled a major stumbling block on them when he started calling Sean a playboy and doubting his intentions. Rather than attempt to prove him wrong, Sean let Desiree go at that week's rose ceremony. I'm sure tensions were mounted in the Hartsock home after that.
Not wanting to disappoint viewers and fans alike, at the After the Final Rose Ceremony taping, Chris Harrison made the much-anticipated announcement that Desiree was going to be the new Bachelorette.
Looking as stunning as ever, she graced the stage and seemed as giddy as a school girl speaking of her upcoming experience. My DVR has been set for weeks waiting for this season to finally air!
No more waiting though, because it's that time! The Bachelorette will air on May 27 on ABC.
Desiree will start off with 25 men who she has said give quite entertaining introductions. Immediately she will eliminate six of them, dwindling their numbers down to 19.
Each week anywhere from one and three men will be eliminated from the show until she gets down to "the one."
Sad to say, tabloids (you know, those trusty things that cost $5 for you to read a bunch of speculation and gossip?) are reporting that Des is acting quite solemn in her interviews about her experience. While she insists it was a wonderful time and she learned a ton about herself, she's been very mum on the subject of whether or not she found true love at the end.
Her answers have actually been so vague, they have led to presumptuous articles claiming she wound up solo at the end of it all.
Whether that is true or not is neither here nor there, because honestly the dates, the drama, and the dudes are all I care about. They are my guilty pleasure that keeps my Monday nights booked solid for the next three months.
Don't be jealous, I know it speaks measures in regards to my social life.
But just an FYI, I previewed the men's photos of which we will be seeing on our screen very soon, and I'm not sure if it's a faulty photographer or just faulty faces, but those pickin's were SLIM.
My choice to spend some "quality" time with is narrowed down to these three:
Brad, an accountant and a club DJ who also claims to be obsessed with peanut butter. Someone needs to clue him in that this fact needs to be placed on the "things you never say out loud" list.
Michael, who is hot AND a federal prosecutor, so you know he steams up the courtroom. There is nothing sexier than a man in a business suit reeking confidence and arrogance with a side of swagger. Yes, I did read Fifty Shades of Grey. Twice. He seems like a nice visual of Christian Grey if I do say so.
And lastly, Zak, who has no employment listed about himself, nor did his parents bother to include the necessary 'c' in his name, so chances are he's one sandwich short of a picnic.
Keep up with me weekly as I review, recap, and rant my opinions on each episode that airs. I give my guaranteed to fail predictions on who I think will win and who I think will be headed home!
Until next time...

Public funds 'may be cut by third'
10:34am Wednesday 6th February 2013 in National News © Press Association 2014
Spending on police and other services may be cut by a third under Government plans with perhaps more than a million public-sector job losses
Spending on services like police, defence, transport and justice could be cut by a third by 2017/18 under Government spending plans, a report warned.
The plans suggest 1.2 million job losses in the public sector by that date, 300,000 more than predicted by the Government's official forecasters, according to the Green Budget published by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS).
The respected economic think-tank said Chancellor George Osborne's failure to hit deficit reduction targets means tax rises or "substantial" additional cuts in welfare benefits are likely after the 2015 general election to avoid "hard to contemplate" cuts in Whitehall budgets.
The fiscal position may force the Chancellor to raid pensioner benefits, the NHS, schools or overseas aid, hitherto protected from cuts, said the report.
The IFS said: "Over the last 30 years, tax rises announced in the year after a general election have averaged £7.5 billion. Considering this trend, and in the context of the current fiscal situation, further tax rises following the next election would not be surprising."
Mr Osborne is due to borrow £64 billion more than he planned by 2015, due to the poor performance of the economy, and borrowing is likely to be higher this year than in 2012, the IFS found.
With the public finances failing to come into balance as quickly as Mr Osborne had hoped, IFS director Paul Johnson questioned whether the Chancellor can continue to shield the NHS, schools and overseas aid from cuts.
The Government said it will continue to protect these three areas from cuts in the spending review for 2015/16, now being negotiated but Mr Johnson said extending protection further would mean spending on other departments - like the Home Office, Defence and Environment - falling by a third by 2017/18.
If the budget for defence equipment was protected, as Prime Minister David Cameron has suggested, that figure would rise to 35%.
Whitehall departments have so far relied heavily on job losses to meet the Chancellor's austerity demands, and if they continued to do so at the same rate, 1.2 million public sector jobs could go by 2017/18, compared with the 900,000 forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility, said the IFS.

Time and again we either hear Cameron or another Tory trying to ram home the Economy is safe in their hands and unsafe in Labours .All we get from Tories is "we have reduced the deficit" and our Austerity measures are necessary for the benefit of the Economy .Listening to 3 Economic Advisers from Europe including our own Mathew Hancock who admitted that Britain is exporting more outside the EU today because of the Financial Crisis in Europe shore up the belief 'you have to speculate to accumulate ' .If Britain concentrated more on Investment in Jobs and Housing and less on the Deficit we would be better off .As normal we only get a better picture from outsiders that have nothing to gain from Lies and Deception .The EU is dragging us down with it. www.brokenbritainund

Thread: Pretty funny power rankings
Pretty funny power rankings
This was found on one of the espn messageboards.
Not your typical current power rankings. :lol:
1. Tennessee Titans: Gods that can basically control anything...you cant F with that. Top of the list
2. San Diego Chargers: Nothing can stand up to freakin lightning! Except the gods who create it (see above)
(edit: Chargers also could be horses used in battle, but I'm sticking with the lightning bolt since its whats on their helmets and is still relevant)
3. New York Giants: huge size advantage here, no weak points except if lighting strikes a giants head, he's going down, the bigger they are...
4. Minnesota Vikings: Vikings are bad a$$, I sure wouldnt want to be stuck in a room with one.
5. Oakland Raiders: Close behind Vikings, Raiders will take your shi+, and kill you too
6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Also a pirate, who have no souls, just want to rape and pillage your island, behind the Raiders because of fruity logo
7. New England Patriots: Shot out to our men in uniform, they would be higher but society wouldn't like it if they kicked a$$ and killed randomly, Bush would have a lot of explaining to do Patriots are the best of the civilized folk
8. Dallas Cowboys: Although I hate the cowboys, they have guns, and guns usually win in a fight.
9. Houston Texans: Cheap knock off of the cowboys, but they still have guns too.
10. Kansas City Chiefs: Great fighters, warriors, can adapt to almost anything, but throwing spears doesnt get it done, obviously the guys with guns (see above) won the real fight for America
11. Washington Redskins: Chiefs are higher simply because they are Chiefs of the tribe. The Redskins are just the tribe, but they can fight and kill just about anything (that doesnt have a gun)
12. Chicago Bears: Since humans can kill any animal (again they have guns, spears, booby trapped lassos laid hidden on the ground and hooked to a tree, etc) the Bears are below them, But they are the best of the animals in the league. Big a$$ bears that will rip you apart for honey. Ill pass on that fight thank you
13. Detroit Lions: Lions are the king of the jungle, but I feel a large bear would win in a fight, so Lions get a high ranking but 2nd in the animal kingdom, plus they sleep way too much.
14. Buffalo Bills: Huge animals with reckless abandon that will run your a$$ over if you dont get out of the way.
15. Cincinnati Bengals: Tigers can climb trees, they are awesome, but much smaller then the above animals and would get tore apart by a lion or bear.
16. Jacksonville Jaguars: Cool animal with great hunting skills, fast, cunning, stalks prey then eats it carelessly. Also saying Jag-u-wire sounds cool (nice car too)
17. Carolina Panthers: Close race with a Jaguar, but you cant really say it cool Pan-the-ras? no, doesnt work
18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Yes they are humans, but they steal. Kinda weak if you ask me. I think an animal would tear them up while they try to steal its fur or something. (edit: as noted, Steelers arent actually thiefs, but steel mill workers, which would land them probably at the same spot, maybe 19th, behind the 49ers because they have a weapon)
19. San Francisco 49ers: They are armed with a pick axe, but rushing to a mine first and looking for diamonds doesn't teach you how to use that pick-axe when a lion or Jag-u-wire come hunting your a$$ in the field.
20. Denver Broncos: all they can really do is run and maybe horse kick you if you stand behind them, not much at putting up a fight. But good size, and seemingly tough looking
21. St Louis Rams: Although small, they are tough little boogers. And they will bang their head into your face until you go away, or until you shoot them with a gun.
22.Indianapolis Colts: Lower caliber of a bronco, so they are ranked lower, same tools though, running and kicking you in the nuts if you get to close to their tail.
23. Seattle Seahawks: First of the bird group, they are mean birds of prey that are on a nonstop hunger feast. Also im a Seahawk fan, so they are the best bird (best bird logo too )
24. Atlanta Falcons: Huge sharp talons, nasty beaks, some of the fastest flying birds in the world. Would kick any other birds feathers off (except a seahawk of course)
25. Baltimore Ravens: Very smart birds, great at finding food, and actually figuring out complex puzzles. but not much of a fighter. They could possibly figure out a way to get their a$$ to safety if a seahawk or falcon attacked it, but they wouldnt fight back.
26. Philadelphia Eagles: Bald eagles are americas symbol, but in reality they steal fish from smaller birds that did all the work catching them. Low grade in my book, but a cool looking bird.
27. Arizona Cardinals: nice bird to look at if your a bird watcher, kinda aggressive too, but would lose a fight in about 1 second with any other bird on here. Ranked here because they can fly, and flying is cool
28. Miami Dolphins: Smart mammal, but they are stuck in the water, and dont do much fighting. Chicks love em though. No ability to defend itself except swim faster. They round out the animal kingdom.
29. Green Bay Packers: yes they are humans, but they work in a warehouse and make uniforms and such...oooh so scary. plus "packer" can mean a few things in jokes that arent very manly...
30. Cleveland Browns: Paul Brown couldn't fight
31. New Orleans Saints: But I bet Paul Brown could beat up a saint. Then the Saint would forgive him. Good humanitarian people, the Saints are, but almost dead last on this list.
32. New York Jets: Obviously a jet cant put up much of a fight against anything while it sits there in the hangar. I mean, even a slug would beat it by crawling all over it and making it all slimy and icky.Hupo oe ke kau ana i ka waiupa a ma kou pa o & Hupo na Po o waiupa a

Nice rankings. The Packers are a little overrated on the list and the Dolphins a little underrated.

The things you use to be friendly to the environment may not be so friendly to your health. In fact, studies show reusable grocery bags could make you sick.
Researchers said the bags have the ability to spread viruses and bacteria.
At a grocery store, Lisa Vroonland packed her groceries in the trunk after making the switch from plastic to reusable.
"I love them! You can fit so much more than a plastic bag; it's so much easier to take into the house. I use them for more than just groceries. They're convenient," said Vroonland.
But could you be sacrificing your health for convenience?
"Unfortunately, if you are not careful, those bags can become contaminated with bacteria and viruses," said Dr. Lawrence Robey with the Madison County Health Department in Alabama.
The Centers for Disease Control has been pushing health departments across the country to spread the word about the dangers lurking in reusable grocery bags.
It became even more apparent after a 2010 outbreak of a norovirus in Oregon where a group of children all got sick after eating cookies that were stored in a reusable bag.
Experts said noroviruses can be a nuisance; they're tough bugs that can live for prolonged periods on objects and surfaces. Norovirus is also blamed for thousands of hospitalizations and deaths every year.
"If a meat package were to leak into a bag, the bacteria may stay there and contaminate future purchases," said Dr. Robey.
Experts advise shoppers to not store bags in the trunk of their cars because it's warm, moist and can sit there for days -- which makes for a perfect breeding ground for bacteria that can multiply.
"It's easy to protect your family. Keep your meats and produce separate, wash them and wash your hands," said Alabama A&M Food Sciences Professor Josh Herring.
"The industry may end up having to label bags with 'safe handling instructions' that say wash after every use for people to understand the seriousness," said Herring.

'Out of Africa' Abilene churches embrace those relocating here
Americas: 27.1% in 1910; 36.8% in 2010
Europe: 66.3% in 1910; 25.9 % in 2010
Sub-Saharan Africa: 1.4% in 1910; 23.6% in 2010
Asia-Pacific: 4.5% in 1910; 13.1% in 2010
Source: Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, www.pewforum.org. Data for "Global Christianity" report was gathered in 2010 and released in December 2011.
* There are nearly 2.2 billion Christians around the world, making up about one-third of the world's population — the same percentage as a century ago.
* Europe was the center of world Christianity 100 years ago, but today the Americas are home to more than a third of all Christians.
* The United States has the world's largest Christian population, with more than 247 million, followed by Brazil and Mexico.
* China is among the top 10 locations with the largest Christian populations. With an estimated 67 million Christians, it has more Christians than any western European country.
* Islam is the world's second largest religion, with about 1.6 billion followers worldwide or just under one-quarter of the estimated 2010 world population of 6.9 billion.
* Sub-Saharan Africa has seen the biggest explosion in the growth of Christianity in the past century, going from about 9 million Christians in 1910 to about 516 million today or close to a quarter of all the world's Christians.
* Three of the world's 10 largest Christian populations are in Africa — Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia.
Nowhere is the explosive growth of Christianity in Africa more evident than right here in West Texas.
A new report from the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life titled, "Global Christianity," shows that the largest growth in Christianity during the past 100 years has occurred in sub-Saharan African countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, and Nigeria.
The report showed that in 1910, 1.4 percent of the world's Christians lived in sub-Saharan Africa. By 2010, the year the survey data was gathered, that number had grown to 24 percent.
The result is that now, rather than Christianity being taken into African nations by missionaries, African converts are spreading the message to other parts of the world.
"It's now being spread out of Africa," said Larry Henderson, who teaches in the Halbert Institute for Missions at Abilene Christian University.
Henderson said that in Europe, many of the larger churches are filled with African Christians who have fled their homeland because of persecution.
In Abilene, a number of churches have embraced refugees relocated from African countries through the International Rescue Committee. South Side Baptist Church, for example, houses a thriving African refugee church called The International Evangelical Church.
And, Trinity Baptist Church hosts New Song Ministry, comprised primarily of Christian African refugees.
In the Catholic Diocese of San Angelo, which includes the Abilene area, nine priests are from African nations, said Bishop Michael Pfeifer. An abundance of African Catholic priests has caused them to look for positions elsewhere, and Pfeifer is happy to have them in his sprawling diocese with numerous pastorates to fill.
Pfeifer said that years ago before becoming bishop of the San Angelo Diocese, he went to Africa as a member of his religious community, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI). The priests opened a mission in Zambia which has grown "by leaps and bounds," he said, as has Christianity over much of Africa.
Another finding of the Pew report was the huge growth in Christianity in China. The report shows that with an estimated 67 million Christians, China is among the top 10 locations for sizable Christian populations.
The finds are not surprising to people like Henderson and Pfeifer, who have spent their lives teaching and preaching Christianity. Pfeifer said that historically the church has grown in relation to material deprivation and persecution.
"That seems to be the story of our (Catholic) church," he said. "I think it's pretty true for many (other) Christians, too."
Pfeifer recently returned from Spain for a ceremony to commemorate the execution 75 years ago of 22 members of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, the religious community he is a member of.
The men were gunned down during the Spanish Civil War because of their beliefs, and Pope Benedict XVI has beatified them, Pfeifer said, putting them one step away from sainthood.
Immediately after that persecution 75 years ago, Pfeifer said, the Catholic church in Spain sent missionaries all over the world.
"I think the cultural situation and the economic-social situation always influences our life of faith and religion," Pfeifer said.
Deprived and persecuted people seek God, he said, just as the more materially well-off tend to move away from God.
"Before we know it," he said, "we're dependent on so many material things and God gets less attention."
Henderson, who is a missions coordinator at ACU, said a shift has occurred in places like Africa with a large influx of Christian missionaries over the years from other parts of the world. Nowadays, the Christian leaders are likely to be second and third generation Africans, he said.
"Europeans and North Americans are no longer in the driver's seat," he said.
ACU is affiliated with the Churches of Christ, which held a celebration in Dallas in 2003 commemorating 100 years of the church's presence in Africa. Henderson said the celebration was attended by many native African church leaders, who focused on thanksgiving and reflection as well as addressing future challenges.
The goodwill between the African leaders and those in the United States is a result of collaboration, Henderson said. Missionaries are trained to work alongside indigenous people, he said, not to be superior to them.
"We want to be the co-worker," he said, "and be supportive."
Colleagues of Henderson, Wimon and Rosalinda Walker have spent the past three-and-a-half years directing ACU's study abroad program in Montevideo, Uruguay. But before that, they were in Botswana for 15 years.
Wimon Walker said they couple worked among people who lived in fear and sought answers in witchcraft and other indigenous religions. Many converted to Christianity, he said, because they experienced empowerment.
Now, as the result of evangelizing by missionaries over the years, Africans have taken over leadership roles.
"African Christian leaders have taken the ball and run with it," Walker said.
Like Pfeifer, Henderson and Walker agreed that faith grows out of suffering and persecution, which can account for the growth of Christianity in Africa and China.
Walker noted that many Christian organizations were ejected from Communist China and that the church suffered a setback in the short-term. But, in more recent times, the church has taken root in a deeper way, he said, through commitment, courage, and the sharing of faith.
Henderson, and other Christian leaders, believes the reason for the growth and staying power is because of what Christianity offers.
"It offers a hope of something better — if not in this life, in the world to come," which is attractive to persecuted people, Henderson said.

ok soo im here at my apt at ut watching the game and i still dont know who im supposed to go for. everyone keeps talking about the big 12 and the 3 way tie, but does it really matter, i say screw the big 12, let tech have it. we want the natl championship!
correct me if i am wrong, but shouldnt we be going for oklahoma state? if oklahoma st beats ou, then ou is out. then it will be:
1) Alabama
2) Texas
3) Florida
..and then we will watch the sec championship, and either way, it doesnt really matter does it??? if florida wins, then bama is out, and it will be:
1) Texas
2) Florida
..and texas would go to championship at large.
or if bama beats florida, florida will be out and the top three will look like this:
1) Alabama
2) Texas
..so does the big 12 really matter? shouldnt we go ahead and just want tech to go beat the sorry mizzou team. and even as conference champs, beating mizzou, wont be enough to knock us out right?
i am no expert, your thoughts?

Continuing education pays for UCC boss
UNIVERSITY College of the Caribbean (UCC) President Dr Winston Adams is a testament to the value of continuing education.
Adams — who is also founder and executive chairman of UCC — has successfully completed his doctorate in business administration, specialising in strategic leadership and disruptive innovation at the University of Phoenix Arizona in the United States.
He had taken a partial sabbatical to focus on his three-year programme of study, including overseas residencies, which he began in March 2009.
"We do have an extraordinary potential to improve and transform ourselves. Indeed, we alone can open the door to further change within ourselves in order to realise our greatest potentials," noted Adams, who is also founder of the UCC Foundation, UCC Online Inc, Caribbean Knowledge City Limited and Global Knowledge Process Solutions Inc.
He added that his recent studies have, no doubt, significantly strengthened his ability to better integrate theory and practice in order to become a better leader.
"I now have a greater passion about using my doctorate to build professional and business relations, assist others in charitable efforts and in solving complex day-to-day organisational challenges through greater leadership capacities and enhanced strategic decision making," Adams said.
In 1987, he was awarded the prestigious USAID Scholarship to study chemical engineering at Howard University in the US. On his return to Jamaica, he worked with the Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica, Petrojam, as a chemical (process) engineer and lectured as an adjunct staff member at the University of Technology.
Then in 1992, he demonstrated further enterprising and organisational skills as he boldly pioneered the establishment of the Institute of Management Sciences, which, in only a decade, emerged as one of the more successful private higher-educational institutions in Jamaica, having also achieved international recognition and validation by the American Council on Education.
Adams, seeing the importance of a highly trained and qualified workforce in the Caribbean's development efforts, took the decision to address this need on a regional scale. He therefore sought to enhance quality tertiary educational opportunities for more Caribbean nationals by establishing regional centres throughout Jamaica and in five eastern Caribbean islands.
"Through his leadership, the UCC has successfully established major alliances with several reputable overseas institutions, such as the Florida International University, Penn State University, University of Florida, University of London, and the Commonwealth of Learning in Canada, designed to strengthen and accelerate the process of human resource development and training in Jamaica," said a release from the institution.
He created history in 2002 with the successful acquisition of the 27-year-old Institute of Management and Production, creating the largest privately held higher-education consortium in Jamaica, with a combined annual student population of some 4,500.
In 2004, he was nominated and honoured as a Jamaica Observer Business Leader for his vision and creativity in establishing "Jamaica's foremost private higher-educational institution."
He is the first and only Business Leader to have been nominated in the Higher Education sector.
Adams, who was also recently commissioned as a justice of the peace, is expecting to publish his first peer-reviewed book in January 2013, entitled: Disruptive Innovation — An Undisputed Catalyst for Organisational Transformation. It is expected that this text will also be adapted as a reference reader for most undergraduate and graduate programmes offered by UCC.
Adams, who holds an executive master of business administration degree from Florida International University, is a vice-president of the Kiwanis Club of North St Andrew, vice-president of the Jamaica Association of Private Tertiary Institutions and has served as a member of the University Council of Jamaica Board of Directors and the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica's education committee.

My n79 has been fine until it started freezing and only button that works is on and off button on top, and the screen with profiles and shut down go to menu opens and i can scoll down that with the on and off button. I have already tried resetting factory setting hard reset and soft reset and updated the phone. What could be wrong and does any body know a program i can download that can check the phone?, and could it be a virus?
Thank you.

You did try the following proceedure, didn't you? It sets the phone back to the way it was when you first bought it (with the exception of previous firmware updates, which I believe are retained), so back up any and all data you want to save:
(courtesy of user blueheartz)
...you might want to do a (full,complete) hard reset.
For this you have to-
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button to switch on the phone.
4. Release the buttons when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
(If the above procedure cannot be completed, then my guess is that you have a hardware malfunction that will require servicing.)

As temperatures dipped below freezing, almost 2,000 winter coats were given to the homeless. Thousands of coats lined the tables of the People's City Mission. The homeless were happy to have Raising Cane's show they care.
It seems to be just in time, too, for people like Malinda Douglas who recently moved to Nebraska from Indiana.
"It's good because I didn't have one and it's cold," Douglas said. "Snow's not here yet, but I know it's coming."
Raising Cane's is the largest coat drive each year. They have donated more than 7,000 jackets since 2007.
This year, Raising Cane's has been collecting coats since Oct. 1. They had a goal to collect 1,500 jackets, but surpassed that by raising over 1,600 coats. They also raised 455 dollars by rounding up checks at Raising Cane's counter.
"We were a little nervous at first because the weather has stayed so warm," said Justin Jones, Raising Cane's owner. "So we're glad people decided to go through closets and help the cause."
Pastor Tom Barber said The Mission is always in need of coats and anticipates guests going through 8,000 this year. Raising Cane's donation helps with this.
After guests of The Mission choose their coats, the leftovers will be taken to the Homeless Prevention Center on Monday. 18,000 to 20,000 people use the center. Pastor said they can still use more coats.
"This is a big start. This is a good big start of what we need," said Barber.

If you have gotten a payday loan, chances are you are looking to pay it back as quickly as possible. You may also want to avoid having to ever apply for another one. On the other hand, you could be reading the financial writing on the wall and reading up on payday loans before you take one out. Either way, using these tips can help you out in this part of the economy. one click 2 cash payday loan
Don't just get in your car and drive to the nearest payday loan center to get a bridge loan. Even though you know where one business is, check out other loan services in your area to see if they have lower rates. You can save a lot of money by doing some research.
If you are looking for the cheapest payday loan, look for a loan that is direct from the lender and not an indirect loan from a lender who lends someone else's money. Indirect loans have higher fees than direct loans, and the indirect lender will keep some for their profit.
Make sure you know the consequences of paying late. When you go with the payday loan, you have to pay it by the due date; this is vital. Read every detail of the contract so that you are fully aware of late fees and penalties. The fees can be really high with payday loans.
Do some research on the company you're looking at getting a loan from. It is not a good idea to select a company just because it has ads that makes it appear to be trustworthy. Check each out to find out what their reviews are like so as to ensure they're on the up-and-up. Using a reputable company, will make the entire process easier.
Be wary of payday loan scammers. There are those who pose as payday lenders only to rip you off. If you're interested in a company, make sure you check out the BBB (Better Business Bureau) website to see if they are listed.
Don't be surprised if the company you're getting a payday loan from asks for bank account details. Many people do not end up getting a loan because they do not feel comfortable giving out this information. The point of you getting a loan is that you're able to pay it back at a later date, which is why they need this information.
People should only use a payday loan as their last resort. These loans have enormous interest rates and you can easily wind up paying at least 25 percent of your original loan. Explore all your options before deciding to take out a payday loan.
Avoid getting into a never ending debt cycle. Do not take out one payday loan to pay off another. You have to get rid of the source of the debt, even if you have to tighten your belt. You will see that it is easy to be caught up if you are not able to end it. As a result, you may lose a lot of money very quickly.
Some payday loan companies are members, or have ratings with Better Business Bureau. Before you sign any loan papers, contact the Better Business Bureau so you can find out if any complaints were filed against the company. After finding complaints, you are probably better off finding a different company to do business with.
As you've seen, payday loans could provide you with the cash that you need right away. But you should always completely understand the terms and conditions that you are signing up for. You can avoid the complications commonly associated with payday lending by making sure you implement what you've learned here.

Consultant to evaluate county animal shelter
A retired constable who oversees animal shelters in Montgomery County has been asked to give his assessment of operations at the Galveston County Animal Resource Center.
A retired constable who oversees animal shelters in Montgomery County has been asked to give his assessment of operations at the Galveston County Animal Resource Center.
TEXAS CITY — The city is removing traffic lights this month at three locations — one near the high school and new middle school and two nearby signals on Texas Avenue — after a study by the Texas Department of Transportation deemed they weren't needed.
After a tough 2013, world-ranked light middleweight Austin "No Doubt" Trout, a local favorite managed by Galveston's Bob Spagnola, will look to get back on track for another title run in a televised boxing match Friday.
LEAGUE CITY – Clear Creek High School football coach Darrell Warden said he would never be confused with someone who entertains people for a living.
There is a new partnership in Galveston focused on nature tourism, and it is preparing for an exciting and wide-open future.
The Texas insurance industry is the most powerful special interest operating in this state.
Many of the moviegoers who have flocked to see "The Hundred-Foot Journey" have left the theater hungry, their appetites whetted by scenes of food being prepared and presented at two very different establishments, one a very formal French restaurant and the other an exuberant Indian one.

Symantec Service Framework has stopped working.....this has been popping up for about 3-4 months now. Please help because i can't read my local newspaper online without it messing up and this popping up.
No, I did not just install 360.
Hi, daffy2you,
Welcome to our community!
Do you have any other security software installed on your machine, like SpyBot Search & Destroy, or the paid versions of malwarebytes or superantispyware (the free versions aren't a problem, as they don't do real-time scanning)? Security software doesn't play well together, as different programs will tend to detect one another's activities as potential threats, and this could be causing the problem you're experiencing.
Do you have any reason to suspect that you may have crossed paths with some malware? If so, you might want to download and install the free version of malwarebytes, which makes a good crosscheck for your Norton. Let us know if it finds anything.
If malwarebytes doesn't find anything, and you're still seeing this error frequently, then you may want to remove your Norton software and reinstall it using the process below. You will not have to pay for the program again, and your subscription days will automatically be recognized when you reinstall this way. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
This last step will reinstall Norton 360 and link it automatically to your existing subscription. You should now be back in business, protected by "the speed and power of Norton!"
Please let us know how this works out. We're here to support you until you can click that "Accept as Solution" button!

What is COMMUNITY? It's not just the place where you live – it's so much more! Join us for two weeks of experiencing art and the connection it has in the community. We will look closely to see
- where art can be found
- who the people are working in the arts
- what kind of art is being designed for the community
- how the arts build community through creative exchange
The program centers on a process oriented approach which encourages personal creative
reflection and exploration in a variety of media and techniques. A supervised brown
bag lunch time is provided with time allowed for working on a special mural project.
New this year -- each grade level will have a specific focus. Each grade level will create an item for a fund raiser at the culminating art show. The proceeds will go to a local organization such as the Humane Society, Empty Bowls, Ronald McDonald House and the Wauwatosa Historical Society, as our way of giving back to the community.

The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Season 12, featuring welterweight coaches (and division rivals) Josh Koscheck and Georges St. Pierre, is back for Episode 5 and wow -- right into the slow piano solo.
Ah, it's Coach Koscheck reflecting on his path from TUF rookie to number one contender. With Team GSP out to an early 3-0 lead, "Kos" brings in the big guns, starting with friend and AKA teammate Jon Fitch, who's sporting his patented isosceles hairdo.
Nam Phan appreciated having his butt kicked by the Fitchster and Coach K rattles off the platitudes.
Back at the house, a stir crazy Alex Caceres gets his prank on and swaps fabric softener for bleach. Unfortunately Michael Johnson is doing a load and blows a gasket at the thought of his TapouT shorts being washed out.
Team GSP hits the gym and "Rush" answers the Fitch cameo with one of his own, bringing in a Muay Thai trainer with a name that I can't pronounce or spell despite rewinding the segment about 7-8 times. St. Pierre warns the recruits not to fuck with him or they run the risk of getting KTFO.
Jean Charles Skarbowsky! I should have waited for the graphic. He walks in with his shirt off, kind of like a French Freddie Mercury. Rumor has it he either drinks or goes up in smoke before throwing hands so Skarbowsky starts dumping the contestants on their asses in his drunken stupor.
Time for the fight picks and Team GSP (still) has control. They select Spencer Paige to fight Nam Phan. Koscheck seems optimistic about this fight but everyone wants to know why Phan put his head down and moped around after the announcement.
He further confuses them by using his free time to run and continue training. Maybe it would make more sense for this show if he was getting drunk and jizzing in someone's sushi.
Go figure.
Paige hits the gym to prepare for his fight. He believes he's quicker and better on his feet and will be chin hunting when they lock up later in the show. He also admits to feeling the pressure now because nobody wants to be the fighter to break the Team GSP undefeated streak.
Coach Koscheck gets into a verbal sparring match with Cody McKenzie. Both fail to impress. In the training ring, Phan looks pretty good with the hands and then POW -- in walks "The Iceman." Unfortunately it's post-Franklin so the piano rears its ugly head and it's the TUF contestants who seem to be doing the encouragement instead of the other way around.
Liddell tells them to train hard and have fun because fighting sure beats working a regular job.
During the weigh ins, Coach Koscheck, in the worst attempt at a French accent in the history of Canada-bashing, tells St. Pierre that if he slips him the tongue, Kos will quit MMA for good. GSP maintains his composure and the segment goes belly-up.
Incidentally, both fighters make weight without incident.
Assistant Coach "Frenchie" stumbles about the locker room and Koscheck gives him a few verbal jabs. This is why the ROFL acronym was invented. No, really.
ARIANNY SIGHTING. Episode saved.
Elimination fight #4: Spencer Paige (7-2) vs. Nam Phan (16-7)
Round 1: Punches and kicks open the bout with Paige landing cleaner but Phan puts him on his butt with a big punch. He's right back up and they continue whaling on each other. St. Pierre going overboard with they "Ehhhhhhh" every time Paige connects. Phan eating a lot of shots but continues to push forward. Lots of long distance striking with Paige backpedaling. Phan catches a kick and drops him. He pounces and tries to pound him out and Paige is throwing enough up-kicks to stay alive. Phan falls into side control and takes a coffee break. He catches his breath and locks up a painful looking Kimura but Paige guts it out until the bell.
Round 2: Paige comes out on a mission with no visible damage from the arm lock. Unfortunately he gets hit hard to the body and looks wobbly. Phan stalking now and Paige tries to back him up with a flurry. Paige in defensive mode now trying to protect his side. Paige slips and tries to tie Phan up as he rushes in and they briefly lock up against the cage. A brief struggle ensues and they get back to their feet. Phan controlling the pace but Paige hanging tough. Phan begins to pull away and lands consistent shots over and over, prompting a "FUCK" from Paige. Phan just stays busy and continues to make contact until the bell.
Nam Phan defeats Spencer Paige by unanimous decision
Team Koscheck goes batshit over the win and St. Pierre calls Kos a sore winner. Team Koscheck then pounds on the locker room walls to rub it in.
Stay tuned next week for a special two-fight episode, Team Koscheck becomes Team Cocky and GSP gets opened up in training. Ruh-roh!
See you in seven!
