Being that I am new I just thought I would drop a post to say hi and give you all my background so if I comment on something you can know a little about me. I am a life long Lions fan and remember jumping up and down when we drafted St. Barry. My user name is how I describe myself to people that don't understand how important the Lions are to me....I'm sick. I read all the Lion headlines every day, including POD and I am familiar with about 100 possible draft picks for us in 2012. I am not sure why I finally decided to become a member, but I think I thought that it was unfair that I read your comments all the time and yet I don't share my thoughts with everyone here.
To provide anyone interested with some needed material to pass judgement on me with; I subscribe to the philosophy that due to injury rates and short shelf-life that an NFL team should draft a running back almost every year (just not the 1st and 2nd rounds). If we take Doug Martin in the 3rd this year I will have a fat smile. I love Dom but if Peter Konz enters the draft the lions should do whatever is needed to get him. (Just because you have Fluellen doesn't mean you don't draft Suh mindset). Sorry for the long post. oh, almost forgot, FUCK MARK SNACHEYES

Priority Seats for those who want to make friendsPosted by Marc van Gurp | 28-08-2014 22:30 | Category: Social aid
Public transport is not the best social environment you can think of. Staring, reading, silence, and nowadays playing with a smartphone is what most travelers do.
In Brazil they came with a new kind of priority seats to break this daily routine. You could call it social intervention 2.0 IRL.
These seats, marked with a label, are only available to people who wish to gain new experiences. For people who are ready for a new conversation.
For help to start a conversation some suggestions are given on post-its.

Why a Brazilian football team played with an inverted jersey and no one noticedPosted by Marc van Gurp | 6-06-2014 21:40 | Category: Discrimination, Sport
Due to the increasing racism, Brazilian football club Botafogo inverted the colors of its traditional jersey. It was striped black and white for over 100 years. And the club, together with Puma, announced that they would take the field with a special jersey. After great expectations came the surprise which no one noticed.
The take the field with an inverted shirt that was black and white also. And unfurled a banner reading:
"If you didn't notice the invertered jersey, it's because color makes no difference at all."

This organ donor ad is weird — and kind of beautifulPosted by Tom Megginson | 22-03-2014 14:35 | Category: Health
How could two people be any physically closer than making love? How about having an organ transplanted between them?
It's a weird way to promote organ donation, and could perhaps turn off some potential donors by sexualizing their deeply selfless act. But if the best an issue awareness ad can do is to provoke discussion, then this beautifully art directed example from Brazil has accomplished its goal.

Social Experiment: Need change?Posted by Marc van Gurp | 2-03-2014 11:00 | Category: Poverty
Another social experiment. This video will not be as successful as this viral but this little idea is very nice.
"Need change? Feel free to take what you need."
In countries such as Brazil, you have to pay with coins to travel by bus. It is a problem when you're without change. Or because you're unemployed.
Do you have coins? Leave them behind for someone else.
It was developed by the occasional Troco Coletivo for Unicred, a cooperative bank in Brazil.

Raimundo Arruda Sobrinho was homeless in São Paulo, Brazil, for nearly 35 years, and became locally known for sitting in the same spot and writing every day. In April 2011, he was befriended by a young woman named Shalla Monteiro. Impressed by his poetry and wanting to help him with his dream of publishing a book, she created a Facebook Page to feature Raimundo's writing. Neither could have expected what happened next.

Muquifu - You are History. You are Culture. You are the Museum.Posted by Tatjana Vukic | 9-11-2013 22:30 | Category: Poverty
Muquifu â Portuguese acronym for Museum of Urban Escaped-slave Communities and Slums is a space that promotes cultural preservation and appreciation of a slum complex in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The pictures of Campaign portray actual slum residents.
It is noteworthy that all the images are not staged and the people are photographed behind the windows at their own homes telling us the story about their difficult living conditions.
A dilapidated window becomes a metaphor for their hard life. A sign on a wall as the firm sign of the owner tells us about unfulfilled wishes and dreams.
The world is not for all the same no matter how far the windows are open. These dreams remain stuck in four walls.

ATHENS, Ala. (WZDX) - Jennifer Adair and her family have experienced three tornadoes and she says that is exactly why she is raising money for the victims in Moore.
It all started almost four decades ago.
"April 3rd, 1974 my family actually lost 3 people. My aunt and 2 of my cousins were killed that day and my grandparents lost their home," said Adair. Years later her family would be affected once again.
On April 27th, 2011 as the skies darkened she was at home alone in Capshaw; she had no way of knowing that her life was about to change forever. Her home took a direct hit from an EF-5 tornado.
Jennifer was buried in the rubble. Surprisingly she escaped with only minor injuries only to learn that her parents' home was also destroyed.
Adair and her husband decided to move but almost like something out of a bad movie, the bad weather followed them. On march 2nd, 2012 their new home in Limestone County was hit, although it was not a total loss.
"Well to me I considered it a minor inconvenience last March," Adair recalled. "We stayed out of the house 5 weeks for repairs but at least we still had a home to come back to."
When she saw the devastation in Oklahoma she says all those old emotions came flooding back.
"It broke my heart when I saw those first images it's just like your right back in that moment," she said, "you see the people walking around, they look lost and you just remember how that felt."
She says she will always remember the people who helped her and her family members when they needed it the most and that's why she is sponsoring a fundraiser this weekend for the people of Moore Oklahoma. Inspired by the group Toomers for Tuscaloosa, she will be outside the Athens Police Department Saturday, May 25th collecting gift cards to be sent to Journey Church for distribution.
"This is my way of trying to give back I really didn't know if I was going to live that day 2 years ago in April and I feel like I got a second chance at life," she said. "I feel like I'm here for a reason and I want to help as many people as I can."
Adair and her helpers will be at the Athens Police Department Saturday from 10am-2pm accepting gift cards. She says cash donations will also be accepted. The money will be sued to purchase more gift cards to send to Journey Church.

Large groups may have to pay up if they want to use public parks in Brentwood.
Sports teams and leagues that use the city's facilities, courts and playing fields already pay fees, but there's now a new fee system in place for large running groups that use the city's trails and greenways.
The move comes after a home-school cross country team brought nearly 80 runners to Crockett Park last year.
Now, groups that include 20 or more people must get approval from the parks department to use the trails.
And fees will be requested if residency requirements aren't met. If too many members of the group live outside Brentwood city limits, the group will be charged $25 per two-hour time slot to use the trails.

With its unique and colorful districts, lovely view of the Pacific coast, and hundreds of quaint cafés and fine-dining restaurants, San Francisco is a prime destination for couples looking for some excitement. Tourism happens to be the city's main industry, and dozens of hotels can be found lying around. Of course, couples can't just pick any hotel for their romantic getaway.
It would be preferable if a couple got lodgings in a themed hotel; the more distinctive it is from other hotels, the better. An Edwardian hotel in San Francisco, like the Hotel Majestic, is one such establishment. Such locations provide an intimate and unique atmosphere that couples should try experiencing for themselves.
Booking in very romantic hotels in San Francisco is a lot harder than it looks. It entails a lot of planning and choosing, all to ensure that the experience will be enjoyable and memorable. With a little bit of research, vacationing couples might even find lodgings that allow them to save a fortune on their travel expenses.
Perhaps one of the most beloved locations in San Francisco is the bay itself. Home to numerous attractions such as the Fisherman's Wharf, the waterfront is a popular tourist spot and haunt for seafood lovers. Finding a hotel next to the bay won't be too hard, but the closer an establishment is to the water, its prices tend to increase as well. Instead of picking a hotel by the shore, it would be more economical to find a place a little out of the way.
The same could be said of the Union Square plaza area. While there are a lot of boutique hotels lining this trendy fashion district, it might be wiser to find another place to stay for the night. This doesn't mean that couples should rent out rooms too far away from landmarks; instead, they should be wary of prices and must compare rates whenever possible.
Romance doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg, and San Francisco offers the opportunity to enjoy the company of another without having to spend too much. It all boils down to how well a couple can secure the right deals. The Internet should be able to suggest affordable vacation options in San Francisco, so travelers would benefit more from checking online sites first.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - An aggressive campaign is underway to get the word out about the expanded voucher program. The turnaround for parents and schools is very quick.
On Wednesday, the state released a list of 48 private schools registered to be part of the voucher program. On the list are three local schools: St. Paul's in Bloomer, Chippewa Falls McDonell and Regis Catholic Schools.
The program uses taxpayer money to pay for students to go to a private school. The maximum is about $6,400 per student. To be eligible, family income must be at or below 185% of the federal poverty level. For a family of four, that's about $51,000. Families have from Thursday through Augusta 9th to apply for the upcoming school year. A representative from McDonell says they've been taking calls about the program all week.
No more than 500 students can be in the program this fall and only the 25 schools with the most applications can participate.
There is a strong push to inform the public. An Eau Claire woman told WQOW News 18 that she received a robocall about the voucher program on Wednesday. The vice president of School Choice Wisconsin says calls and postcards are part of the outreach efforts of the American Federation for Children. It's an organization, based in Washington, D.C., that promotes school choice.

Victim attacked after leaving Ravens Super Bowl rally
BALTIMORE - We have already seen images from Howard Street that show a pair of young men that square off with a group of teens and stab one of them to death in the process.
As a former trooper and security specialist, Chris Jackson has worked his share of homicides, but this time, the victim, 15-year old De'Ontae Smith, was his nephew.
"When it touches home it's a bit different. It's even hard for me. In my professional experience having dealt with it, it's still a world of difference having to deal with it. Each day I have to remind myself not to ask for a quick result."
But a week after the murder, police have not arrested a suspect in this case.
Of course, they already have the surveillance images and know that De'Ontae had been at the Ravens celebration.
That's where it appears a disagreement over a girl may have first pitted the young men against each other, which later would lead to the deadly confrontation.
"The murder was several blocks away, but prior to them finding their way over there to that McDonald's and that establishment, there were some words exchanged."
Now, the family of the Patterson High School student must remain hopeful that someone will see the images from De'Ontae's attack and give police the lead they need to put his killer behind bars.
"As great a kid as he was, caught up in the love and pleasure that the city is experiencing with the Super Bowl victory... who wouldn't want to be a part of that? So he and his friends skipped school that day and went down there to experience in it and unfortunately it turned out to be tragic, but that's one day that we all wish we could just take back."
A viewing for Smith runs through 8:00pm tonight at the Vaughn Greene Funeral Home on York Road.
A wake and subsequent funeral will be held at Antioch Baptist Church on St. Paul Street tomorrow from 11:00am to 1:00pm with his burial service to follow at Holy Redeemer Cemetery on Belair Road.

This ESPN Mt. Rushmore thing is excellent. I like it because it's not simply the best four players in a state, but it really represents the four people who contributed the most to sports in that state.
So, carrying this to FSU football means we don't necessarily rank players by ability, but by what they meant to the university.
Obviously, Bobby Bowden should be a unanimous choice for FSU's Mt. Rushmore. Regardless of your feelings on what has happened in the 2000s, his legacy at Florida State is unassailably secure.
But what about the next three?
Here is my take:
2) Ron Simmons. You have all heard me preach and post about Simmons before. I won't repeat the stories of him tackling all three options in the veer -- IN ONE PLAY -- or his sick TFL stats. He was, simply put, the greatest defender to ever play at FSU. And he earned that title during the crucial years when Florida State football morphed into a national power -- in the late 1970s.
3) Charlie Ward. He was the first Heisman trophy winner and first national championship quarterback in school history. But perhaps even more than that, he brought a "cool" factor to FSU football we had really never had. It's kind of like Stephan Curry right now in basketball -- you just HAVE to watch when he plays because you know he's at a level of artistry nobody else can touch.
I think there is drop off from 3 to 4. Freddy B. is a possibility. So is Doak Campbell, Bill Peterson deserves consideration. And most people will put Deion Sanders here Deion was one of a kind, but frankly, I think he belongs on the "Deion Sanders Mr. Rushmore" more than FSU. By that I mean, he was about bringing attention to himself. He has not been a distinguished alum and I don't think he belongs on the mountain, even though he was probably the best pure cover corner in college football history. Another player I feel really strongly about is Rohn Stark, the greatest special teams player in FSU history.
Nevertheless, I'm going to hop out of the box and instead go with ...
4) The Puntrooskie play: Yes, it's a play and not a person (put Leroy Butler's mug up there if you feel that strongly about it), but this play, in my opinion, set the tone for the rest of the decade in which FSU's dynasty was in its heydey. The message it sent to the college football world was: If you come play here, it's going to be fun, we're going to play big games and we're not afraid to try anything. Call me crazy, but I think if we punt it away and lose that game, the program would have really suffered.
By the way, if this were FSU SPORTS, not just football, some other names to consider:
Dave Cowens, Buster, M. Martin, Hugh Durham, Deckerhoff, and probably lot of others.

Mercado, Korsmo Make NWC Ball Team
News Release Date:
Monday, May 10, 2010
WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- Blaine Mercado and Erik Korsmo, Whitman College battery mates on several occasions this spring, have been voted by coaches to the All-Northwest Conference baseball team.
Both Mercado, a senior from Walla Walla, Wash., and Korsmo, a junior from Clyde Hill, Wash., received Honorable Mention recognition.
|Blaine Mercado (left), Erik Korsmo
Mercado, the ace of the Whitman pitching staff this season, also played third base, hit in the middle of the order and led the team in RBI.
Korsmo, who led Whitman in hitting for a second consecutive season, spent most of his time behind the plate as the team's No. 1 catcher. He also took his turns on the hill, posting two saves.
For Korsmo, the honor was the second in as many seasons. He received Honorable Mention a year ago as a utility player.
Mercado, in his strongest outing this spring, tossed a nine-inning three-hitter to beat Puget Sound 2-1 at Borleske Stadium in early March.
Mercado held the Loggers hitless until there were two outs in seventh inning and kept them off the scoreboard until there were two outs in the ninth. He also helped his own cause, knocking in the game's first run with a groundout.
With his team hamstrung by a limited roster and pitching staff, Mercado led the NWC in starts this spring with 13 and complete games with eight. The right-hander threw a total of 86 innings, the third highest number in the conference.
Late in the season, Mercado pitched and helped hit the Missionaries past Menlo College 15-7. He went the distance on the mound, giving up just four earned runs while striking out four, and he knocked in two runs with four hits.
Playing in all 39 of Whitman's games, Mercado hit .260 and led the team in RBI with 27.
Korsmo also played in all 39 games and led the Missionaries in hitting with a .353 batting average, down just a tad from the .360 he hit a year earlier.
| Blaine Mercado
| Erik Korsmo
Korsmo also topped Whitman this spring in slugging percentage (.525), on-base percentage (.467), total hits (49), runs scored (30), doubles (14) and triples (2). He was hit by pitches by 15 times -- which led the NWC -- and was seven for seven in stolen bases.
Korsmo, who bats from the right side, ripped four hits, including a home run, and scored three runs in a Whitman victory over Menlo. He also had four-hit games early in the season against both Whittier and La Verne.
In the pitching department, Korsmo made 13 appearances, including seven starts. He notched a pair of saves in mid-March as Whitman swept a twinbill at Lewis & Clark.
After catching the first seven innings of the first game, he threw two innings of hitless relief to get the save. He started in right field in game two, knocking in five runs with three hits (including a pair of doubles), before pitching the ninth to get his second save of the day.
Mercado, a graduate of Walla Walla High School, played his first two collegiate seasons at Walla Walla Community College.
Korsmo played his prep ball for Bellevue (Wash.) High School.

A new burrowing robot has been built to repair gas mains, which crucially means there's no need to dig up our roads. It's being tested in Britain to see if it can be rolled out across the country, as David Wood reports.

Baseball drops 7-6 heartbreaker to No. 29 Auburn
Feb. 23, 2007
MOBILE, Ala. - Despite a season-high strikeouts by junior Matt Gardner and a two-run lead heading into the eighth inning, the JU baseball team dropped a 7-6 decision to No. 29 Auburn, Friday afternoon at Stanky Field.
JU (4-6) dropped its fifth consecutive game and its second straight contest with a lead heading into the final innings.
Auburn (8-1) tallied the win with three runs in the bottom of the eighth despite finishing the game with three errors and striking out a season-high 10 times.
Trailing 6-4 in the bottom of the eighth, the Tigers answered with three runs to make it 7-6 after an RBI single up the middle by Brooks and a two-run single up the middle by Ryan Jenkins with runners on second and third and two outs.
Young (1-1) was tagged with the loss after allowing a run on two hits with a strikeout in 2/3 inning. Gardner earned the no-decision after allowing four runs on six hits with two walks and a season-high eight strikeouts in 6.2 innings of work. Junior right fielder and senior catcher Pete Clifford each drove in two runs.
Scott Shuman (2-0) earned the win after allowing three unearned runs on one hit with two walks and a strikeout in an inning of relief. Chris Dennis earned the save by hurling a perfect ninth inning. Bryan Woodall earned the no-decision after allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits with a walk and seven strikeouts in six innings. Mike Bianucci led the Tigers with two hits, including a two-run homer.
"We're in rut right now but we could have easily won some of these games," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "We need to step up and make a big play at the right moment if we are going to end this slide."
JU jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the third when Clifford laced a two-run double to left field. Junior center fielder Kevin Ferreira drew a two-out walk before freshman third baseman Chuck Opachich beat out an infield single. Clifford followed with a drive over Bianucci's head in left field to clear the bases.
Auburn cut the deficit to 2-1 in the bottom of the third when Luke Grienke hit an RBI single to left field. With runner on first and second, Gardner struck out Bianucci looking to end the inning.
The Tiger evened the score with a sacrifice fly to center by Ross Smith after a lead-off double to right center by Andy Bennett.
The Dolphins took a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth when junior shortstop Ben Kerr scored from third on a passed ball by catcher Dustin Spruill. Kerr led off the inning with a sharp single to left and then advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by senior second baseman Logan James. After advancing to third on a groundout to second by Ferreira, Kerr scored on Woodall's first pitch to Opachich.
Auburn took a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth when Bianucci hit a towering shot over the center field wall. Josh Donaldson led off with a flare single to right field before Bianucci gave the Tigers their first lead on a 1-1 pitch.
JU recaptured the lead, 6-4, after taking advantage of two Tigers' errors which allowed a two-run single to right by Vickers with the bases loaded and two outs. With one out, Ferreira drew a walk and was safe at second base when Robert Brooks dropped a force out attempt from shortstop Eric Skinner.
After a walk to Clifford, Ferreira scored from third after McCallister reached on a fielding error by third baseman Josh Donaldson. With two outs, Vickers lofted a single over the reach of Bennett at first base to drive in two runs.
JU will continue play in the Coca-Cola Classic in Mobile, Ala., against host South Alabama on Saturday at 2 p.m. EST.

News: Irv Gotti Regrets Siding W/ Nas: "I Should Have Never Did That" [Video]
Thursday, Sep 26, 2013 9:09PM
Former Murder Inc. CEO Irv Gotti discussed his relationship with rap mogul Jay Z this week and why he regretted picking sides during his early 2000's feud with Nas.
In Gotti's opinion, he took a big risk by riding with Nas during their beef back in 2002.
"In hind sight, I love Nas, I love [his brother] Jungle, but I should have never did that. I should have never did that. [I did it] because as anyone who really knows me, I am one of the most ambitious, I want legendary, I want people to remember my name. I want that more than the bread. I want to do great, great things. I did 'Super Ugly' with Hov. You don't have to keep reminding me. [laughs] I got it, my dude! I'm telling you in all honesty, me and Nas, Nas is my brother and Jungle. This is like my family, I would shed blood with these guys if I seen someone trying to harm them. I would frontline with these guys. But me and Jay - I've known Jay since '87. I should have never did that. I should have never did that. I should have said, [music executive Steve] Stoute, I cannot do that." ("The Breakfast Club")
Despite being on good terms with both rappers, Gotti previously said his publicized relationship with Nas in light of his beef with Jay damaged their relationship.
"It ruined me and Jay a lot," said Irv Gotti of Nas potentially signing to the Murder Inc. imprint. During the time of the reported deal, Nas and Jay-Z were embroiled in a heated war of words culminating in Nas' blistering dis track "Ether" and Jay-Z's "Super Ugly" response. However, Irv Gotti revealed that his interest in Nas was deeper than the Queens borough they both proudly represented. "I messed with Nas because Hov kept turning me down," shared Irv of his reasons for going with Nas. Irv explained later in the interview that his frustrations that Jay-Z didn't immediately latch on to a failed Murder Inc. tour plan fueled his pursuit of Nas with Steve Stoute's introduction linking the pair - but the Queensbridge lyricist wasn't moved by Irv's promise of rap riches. "If you know Nas, the last thing he wants [is that attention]," said Gotti. (RapFix)
In 2002, Gotti said the game plan was to sign Nas to a joint venture deal.
"I had talks with him," Gotti explained Monday in New York's Harlem neighborhood. "Me and him really got to kicking it, he's a good dude. I was in Miami, Atlanta, we did the last leg of the tour with him. He's gonna be on Sony, but it will be like Ill Will/ Murder Inc./ Sony. But I will definitely be affiliated and I'll definitely be a part of [his projects], me and my brother Ja Rule." (MTV)
Coincidentally, Jay later signed Nas to Def Jam around 2006.
It's been a rumor for months, even before the I Declare War show, but it's official now: Def Jam has signed Nas, and the greatest rap beef of four years ago has become the greatest rap joint-venture prospect of right now. It's funny; the Times article makes much of the aesthetic border between personas in the Jay/Nas beef: "...they appeared to represent two versions of hip-hop, with Jay-Z cast as the savvy hustler and Nas as the brooding street poet." That might be true, but I'm not sure we really felt that way at the time, since the Nas that was fresh in our minds then was the Nas of "Hate Me Now" and "You Owe Me" (Village Voice)
Outside of music talk, Gotti previously credited Jay's marriage to R&B star Beyonce for fueiling celebrity hook-ups.
"I just don't think most [celebrity relationships] are real and have a real foundation," Irv explained. "I don't think that it started with real love and everything. I think the way Hov is, everyone started getting on these celebrity couples after they seen Hov and [Beyonce] which I believe is the one true, real one. I want 'em to make it. I like those two alot. Hov is my brother and I'm just happy for them now. But they thing looks really real and with everyone else, it's like Hov tells you to take off your throwbacks and put on button-downs and that's what they do. They see Hov with the power couple and that's what they doing. That's like what's 'in' now." (Hot 97)

Just when you think this string of Super Bowl era players could come to an end...it does. I toyed all day yesterday with the notion of a sentimental favorite of mine: Steve Cox.
He kicked and punted (I know...why the distinction?). He was brought in for long-yardage field goals and owns one of the six field goals ever made from beyond 60 yards. That's right...a dude who packed serious power between the pipes using a straight-ahead style and who regularly hung his balls in the air for record times also had a fantastic porn name.
But as hard as I tried, I could not get past a certain #12 that will always have a place in our hearts. I would never forgive myself if I let #12 go by without properly paying tribute to Mr. Concussion himself, Gus Frerotte. He was our Joe Everyman who came from the depths of the same draft as a more touted player who shall remain anonymous...let's call him Heath S. No wait, that's too obvious, let's call him H. Shuler. The 7th rounder who beat out the 1st rounder.
Gus Frerotte
I was at the headbutt game. It was a Sunday Night Football game. It was cold, windy, even a little rainy at times (ok, I am only like 50% sure any rain fell, but whatever the case was, it was miserable.) I was still in college and my father and I got two tickets to go so I drove down to DC. The tickets were (and this part I am not making up) in the tippy-top row directly behind the uprights, on the band side. They had yet to put the FedEx wind guards in at that point and let me tell you it blew (that is how I tell the story--no wind guards--so if you have any evidence to the contrary, please destroy said evidence.)
It was a freaking puntfest. People mistakenly called it a defensive battle, but like I said before, I was there. Ken Harvey was a beast in that game to be sure, and clearly both defenses made stops. But it was definitely more the offenses struggling than the defenses shining. If Frerotte had stayed in the game who knows if we could have taken advantage of the young Giants roster.
It was also the game that Westbrook may have cost us with his helmet removal in OT. I am happy to lay the blame on Westbrook. But let's not forget that Hostetler had TWO INT's and a fumble...in overtime. Jebus...I still can't believe that freaking game. I am glad I went though. I bought a tee-shirt in the parking lot that read:
"In Gus We Trust"
Gus Frerotte
I know there are some Gus fans out there. Get on the comment board. I could use your help for the next handful of numbers.

So now that we are almost to August and the race for the Division and Wildcards are upon us I thought we could discuss the new Wilcard format. According to MLB.com the Wildcard elimination is to take place on October 5th while the Divisional round starts on October 6th. If we were to end the season as is the Reds, Nationals, and Giants would be division winners while the Braves and Pirates would face off in the one game playoff.
With the the next round (best of 5) scheduled to start the very next day (3 days after the end of the season). Do you find that this is really that big of an advantage? Assuming the Pirates and Braves do in fact play each other in the one game playoff. Presumably each would throw their Ace (Burnett and Hanson). Then the winner would turn around and head to the Divisional series. Where the team that won their Division only gets an extra day of rest.
For example, The Reds win the Division and own the best record. The Braves win the one game Wildcard. Hanson would have pitched already so your game one match up becomes Cueto vs. Hudson then game two would be Latos vs Hudson. Assuming a day off in between to travel Hanson could ideally come back and pitch on 3 days rest vs Arroyo IF the Braves chose not to start Buchey instead. (The Reds starting 3 is based on what I think Dusty would do)
I understand the purpose of the wildcard is to allow more teams to make the playoffs and make the end of the season more exciting but I also feel like the round should be a 3 game round to really give advantage to the teams that played better and won their division like they were supposed to. Instead I believe this will turn into a minor obstacle for the Wildcard team instead of an advantage for the division winner. As always though if you take care of business it shouldn't matter. Do you think the Wildcard round should be 1 game or 3 games? Is this enough of an advantage for the division winners?

Delbert McClinton, Marcia Ball, Augie Meyers, Shawn Sahm, Terri Hendrix and a cast of Texas music headliners and legendary side men will perform as part of an all-night, all-star tribute to musician, philanthropist and beloved patron of the music scene, Lucky Tomblin, at 7:00PM on Sunday, September, 2nd. The Tribute, titled "A Labor of Love – A Musical Tribute Honoring Lucky Tomblin," will be held at the Texas Music Theater, 120 E.
In the three years since his last album, Seth Walker moved to Nashville from Austin, wrote songs with friends new and old, and played many, many shows. And just like most people, he thought about life, about love, and about the changes you experience if you move away (both geographically and philosophically) from those people and places you know so well to try your hand at something new.

Hightower's Wilhite out to prove injury won't limit him
He said he hopes to use that speed to run so well this year the schools who backed off of him will realize what they're missing. He's thinking somewhere in the range of 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns. If the bigger schools have a change of heart Wilhite said he has no problem telling them he's sticking with Wake Forest.

Every Terps player has multiple areas of their game which need to improve next season. It could be free throw shooting, passing, running the floor, rebounding, boxing out, or a myriad of other possibilities.
It'd be interesting to hear everyone's assessment of each of the players returning next year, and in what areas you think they need to improve to make them better players entering the 2012-2013 season.
Those who are rumored to be transferring should be included, because - as we saw with the announcement that Stoglin is returning for his junior season - you just never know.

No industry is immune to the current pace of change31May12
Why pizza eating hackers may be your biggest threat…and opportunity
I was speaking at a conference earlier this week and opened my presentation with the warning that unless businesses started adapting to the rapid pace of change in communications and technology they will be left behind. Every industry will be affected. Those who think they're immune are kidding themselves.
My presentation followed an economic update by a leading economist who didn't paint a very rosy picture for the next few years. Whilst Australia has managed to remain relatively unscathed by economic chaos around the world up til now, this may be about to change. With Greece and the European Union on the brink and Australian personal debt at levels much higher than the rest of the world, consumer confidence has dried up. We're not spending and the strain is beginning to show on the economy.
This will only increase the hunger for more cost effective ways for consumers to shop and for businesses to perform. It will hasten the move to more efficient technological solutions and out-sourcing of talent.
Look no further than this week's announcement by Fairfax that they intend to move editorial production of their regional papers to New Zealand. A favourable exchange rate and modern technology make this possible and will save Fairfax millions in wages.
Its terrible news for local papers and the employees who will lose their jobs, but its also as inevitable as the sun rising tomorrow. Ever since the Internet took away the "rivers of gold" that classified listing generated for newspapers the industry has been in decline. This was always going to happen eventually.
Its an era of change and no industry is immune.
In my presentation I showed a timeline of the big tech innovations of the last 15 years. These all contribute heavily to the way we now shop, consume media, research, conduct business and entertain ourselves:
- Google – founded 1997
- iTunes – launched 2001
- Facebook – founded 2004
- YouTube – launched 2005
- Twitter – launched 2006
- iPhone – launched 2007
- 5 Free to Air TV Channels in 2009
- 16 FTA channels today
- Then there's Google TV and Apple TV trying to break through
…and the National Broadband Network is now rolling out….
The last 15 years have been the tip of the iceberg, more radical change is coming and every industry will be affected.
Any business that isn't looking to move their marketing from outbound to inbound, their IT from in-house to the cloud, reconsidering human resources, or radically revising their whole business model is crazy.
Don't be surprised when some upstart comes along with a leaner, meaner business model to interrupt your industry. There are thousands on young punks with laptops, pizza and energy drinks currently plotting your downfall. Maybe you should be hiring them instead.
It has happened to the advertising and marketing industries. It happened in a big way in the music industry. It has happened to print media. Radio is in the firing line. Television is trying to adapt quickly. Look at the travel industry…its almost entirely online now.
I had a customer tell me this week that it won't happen in his industry because the product is big and hard to ship and assemble plus personal service is still key. I disagree. Change is already well under way. In 10 years his industry will look totally different. Probably 5 years.
The pace of change is only going to increase and a tough economy will actually help those who adapt to leaner, more efficient models. Those people will emerge as the new market leaders whilst those who resisted change will be gone…or out on their feet.

text: Sony threatens PS3 hackers with PlayStation Network ban Gaming 17 February 11 by Mark Brown Tweet CC-licensed: Arman Sernaz Sony has finally broken its silence on the PlayStation 3 hacking scandal and has issued a firm warning to pirates. Hack your PS3, the manufacturer says, and prepare to see your access to the PlayStation Network "terminated permanently".Not only has the company released a public statement, titled "Regarding PS3 Circumvention Devices And Pirated Software", on its network of official PlayStation blogs, but it has also directly emailed offending PSN members.According to PS3-Hacks.com, some PlayStation jailbreakers received an email from Sony containing the statement "A circumvention device and/or unauthorized or pirated software currently resides on your PlayStation 3 system."It seems like the company will be delaying the bans for a while to give gamers a chance to change their minds. "To avoid [being banned], consumers must immediately cease use and remove all circumvention devices and delete all unauthorised or pirated software from their PlayStation 3 systems," the statement reads.The message comes six months after the PS3 was hacked with a USB modchip, and six weeks after the console's tightly-guarded encryption key was discovered and distributed. During that time unscrupulous gamers have used their new-found access to install unlicensed software, pirate games and cheat online."By identifying PlayStation 3 systems that breach our guidelines and terminating their ability to connect to PlayStation Network," the firm says, "we are protecting our business and preserving the honest gameplay experiences that you expect and deserve."Both Microsoft and Nintendo have take similar action against gamers found hacking their systems. Some Wii hackers have found themselves locked out of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, and Microsoft has kicked Xbox 360 hackers off Xbox Live in numerous "waves" since 2007. Affected 360 owners found their consoles unable to connect to the internet service, and blocked from using various system features like game installs and Windows Media Center. A 2009 report said up to a million Xbox Live players have been banned.

Alice Ripley, Kacie Sheik, Andrew Kober, Preston Sadleir, Meghann Fahy Make A Lasting Impression June 29 at Joe's Pub
By Michael Gioia
Tony Award winner Alice Ripley (Next to Normal) as well as former Hair tribe members Kacie Sheik and Andrew Kober are among the cast of A Lasting Impression, a contemporary new musical by theatrical songwriter Zoe Sarnak, which is seen in concert June 29 at Joe's Pub.
The 7 PM concert, directed by Laura Pietropinto, also features Meghann Fahy (Next to Normal, NBC's "Chicago Fire"), Preston Sadleir (Next to Normal tour), Krista Pioppi (Spring Awakening tour) and Taylor Noble.
A Lasting Impression, according to press notes, "is the story of two sisters, Kali, a composer, and Simone, a painter, told through the eyes of a jaded young journalist, Josh, who is searching for his 'next big story.' As Josh recounts his interviews with these two artists living in modern-day Brooklyn with their mother, he uncovers the secrets of a crumbling family. Through musical and visual elements, the sisters' artwork is woven through Josh's narrative. A Lasting Impression is about the impact we make through love and art."
The concert is presented by Cutting-Edge Composers in association with Hope Lights Partners. Music direction is by Virginia Hart Pike with orchestrations by Benjamin Rauhala and Julie McBride.
A Lasting Impression, winner of Pace New Musicals 2012 and performed Off-Broadway at the 4th Street Theatre at NYTW in August 2012, won the 2013 NJ Playwright's contest.

text: So I was on NFL.com and there doing a little profile of each teams worst and best draft picks of all time. Today, they were featuring the Redskins and to my shock, we had horrible draft classes in the 1990s. I am a very young Redskins fan ( I'm only 20 and 3/4s). I know we were so bad in the 2000s because we had incompetence in our front office.What I am curious about is why were we so bad in the 90s considering we won a Superbowl in 1992?

Sahirah Rasul's bus trip from Brooklyn to Burlington didn't go as planned. Surprise drug busts on the Megabus landed the 17-year-old behind bars.
"She's charged with extremely serious offenses," said Mary Morrissey, the deputy state's attorney for Chittenden County. "The heroin trafficking alone carries a 30-year maximum penalty."
Police say they caught Rasul getting off the bus carrying a cereal box stuffed with heroin and crack cocaine. They say she's one of three New York City passengers arrested this week for using the bargain bus company to transport drugs.
"Thousands and thousands of dollars of drugs were confiscated this week," Chittenden County State's Attorney T.J. Donovan said.
For several months authorities suspected the bus was being used to traffic drugs. So officers were sent to a drop off zone on the University of Vermont's campus to question suspicious passengers.
Police arrested Shirley Colon, 21, for cocaine and marijuana possession after she let police search her duffle bag. Another passenger, Dasean Nisbett, 21, was caught carrying 1,000 oxycodone pills hidden in the groin area of his pants. All three suspects denied the charges in court. Police say they confiscated $70,000 in drugs bound for other Vermont cities, not UVM.
"It's serious. These are all dangerous just alone. And this combination and this volume of drugs coming into Vermont, in particular Chittenden County, is a serious public safety problem," UVM Police Chief Lianne Tuomey said.
Donovan says local, state and federal authorities are partnering to stomp out the glut of drugs rolling into Vermont, but says deeply discounted transportation is making it tough.
"This is an easy and cheap way to move drugs up into Vermont," Donovan said. "So, it's good for business on their end."
He says the courts have to send a message that Vermont is not an easy target for drug traffickers.
"You can't bring that amount of drugs into Vermont and not expect to go to jail," Donovan said.
Despite serious drug charges and no ties to Vermont, Judge Kevin Griffin set bail for Colon and Nesbitt at $1,000. Prosecutors demanded $25,000 in Rasul's case, but the judge settled on $10,000. She has no previous criminal record.
"Really the only thing she has at this point facing her in Vermont is jail and I don't think she'll come back for that," Morrissey said.
"We want to make sure that we send the message that we hold people accountable. Of course to hold people accountable they have to show up in court," Donovan said.
Prosecutors hope the real deterrent will come on sentencing day.
Police say there could be more arrests as their investigation continues. We reached out to Megabus for comment, we had not heard back from the company when this article was published.

SOUTHFIELD, MICH. - Toledo (4-2) used a come-from-behind effort to defeat Detroit (0-4) 4-3 at the Franklin Athletic Club on Sunday night. The win came in the nightcap of a doubleheader after UT took down Walsh (0-1) earlier in the day by a score of 6-1 at the Shadow Valley Tennis Club. Toledo improves to 4-2 on the season and is off to its best start through six matches since 2011 when it had the same record.
Sophomore Nicky Wong clinched the win for UT over Detroit with a three-set victory at No. 3 singles. Wong took the first set 6-3 and then dropped the second set 4-6, before rebounding for another 6-3 victory in the deciding set.
Tomas Stillman has been the mainstay at No. 1 singles and came through with a victory over the Titans in straight sets, 7-6 (5-7), 6-4. The Harlingen, TX native now has a 3-1 record in four matches played.
Sophomore Grant Adams and junior Ben Brocker picked up the other two wins for UT. Adams was awarded the victory at No. 2 singles after his opponent retired in the second set. Brocker claimed No. 6 singles with a 6-2, 7-5.
Detroit swept the doubles point with a victory at the No. 1 and No. 3 matches.
Earlier in the day, Toledo took care of business in its home opener versus Walsh, 6-1. The Rockets won every point except at No. 1 singles.
Redshirt freshman and Toledo native Ryan Jorgensen earned his first collegiate win at No. 6 singles, winning in straight sets 6-2, 6-0.
Toledo will host Binghamton and Northwestern Ohio next Saturday, Jan. 26, and then hit the road for a tough matchup with No. 4 Ohio State in Columbus, OH.

Bonds lead Spain into bailout territoryPUBLISHED: 23 Jul 2012 19:38:17 | UPDATED: 23 Jul 2012 19:38:17PRINT EDITION: 23 Jul 2012
The financial pressure on recession-hit Spain has increased to levels that saw other European countries need a financial bailout.
The yield on Spain's benchmark 10-year bond spiked 0.23 percentage points to 7.46 per cent, further evidence that investors are sceptical about the government's ability to manage its debt.
Worries over the financial health of the Spanish regions have contributed to the latest spike.
Concerns grew after the Bank of Spain said the economy contracted by a quarterly rate of 0.4 per cent in the second quarter. Falling economic output makes it difficult to service debt.
If Spain's borrowing rates continue to rise then Spain may end up being locked out of international markets and forced to seek a financial rescue, like Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
Spain's 10-year yield is at its highest level since the euro was established in 1999 and above the seven per cent level that prompted the others to request a bailout.
"The higher the yield goes, the more untenable the situation becomes," said Rebecca O'Keeffe, head of investment at Interactive Investment.
Spanish stocks also took a hit as the country's borrowing rates pushed higher. The Ibex 35 stock index in Madrid was down 3.8 per cent in Monday morning trading.
The latest round of jitters in the markets come barely a month after the leaders of the 17-country euro zone agreed on a package of measures designed to instill confidence in the markets.
Euro zone partners also agreed to lend Spain up to 100 billion euro in funds to bail out banks laden down with toxic assets following the collapse of the country's real estate bubble over the past four years.
Economy Minister Luis de Guindos is due to appear in Parliament on Monday to explain details of the rescue package for the banks.

Opinion Line Extra (March 27)
For agreement over the Middle East to occur, common assumptions must first be agreed to.
Let me understand this correctly. Due to budget constraints, we're closing airport control towers around the country, resulting in risk to the lives of American taxpayers, while at the same time sending $60 million to the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization dedicated to killing Americans. Wow, it makes you proud.
See, Shocker Nation, basketball and football are much more exciting than academics. Maybe we should try for a successful baseball program next.
When Wichita State or KU is playing in the NCAA championship, what will Gov. Sam Brownback bet against the governor from the opposing team's state? A ton of fresh manure from the Topeka administration and Legislature would best represent Kansas.
I have been a Kansas Republican for 60-plus years. The only reason I haven't changed my affiliation is so I can vote against the likes of Todd Tiahrt, Pat Roberts and Mike Pompeo in the primaries as well as the general elections.
Don't think the idea of taking money from the highway fund for the general fund is a good idea. That's what federal politicians have done to the Social Security funds for years. Now look at the shape the Social Security funds are in.
If you were in a lifeboat lost at sea, would you want others in the boat to be so-called compassionate conservatives, or people who think a little socialism has its place?
If gays are allowed to marry, then it is just a short walk in flawed logic before someone wants to marry his dog or his car or his favorite flower.
Whether I had a gay kid or not, it would be a cold day in hell when I would look to congressmen, the least-respected people in the nation, for opinions on same-sex marriage. The Republican ones, could, however, advise on dumping your wife for a mistress, or maybe gay sex in airport bathrooms.
"North Dakota lawmakers moved Friday to outlaw abortion in the state by passing a bill defining life as starting at conception." Under this law, every woman should be able to purchase life insurance for her fetus on the day of conception. Should a woman miscarry in, say, the ninth week, a proper burial with all the pomp and circumstance should be available as well.
Why is it so hard to locate a lost pet in this town ? The pictures of animals in the shelter are poor, and they don't tell you where the animal was picked up. The descriptions of the animals are useless.

Surely they could have used a taser instead of the 10 or so bullets they put in him.
That's rather messed up then putting the handcuffs on him once his basically dead.
The description on Worldstar says this just happened, but i think it actually happened in Summer of 2011. Sorry if it was already posted before!
THe officer also shouts drop the knife before shooting him.
Shooting tens shots was totally unnecessary though.

If the guy had a weapon then the cop is justified in shooting him. I don't see a problem with how many shots he fired. You never know how you would react unless you are actually there with the adrenaline pumping through your veins.

At the moment these things with civilian people, at such a big scale, could only happen in one country in the world... It just looks awful and unbelievable - the guy is in his backyard, his mom parks a car, the guy gets out of the car... obviously, as most people in his case he wants to run into his house to hide from police, his wife and children are waiting for the husband in the house... but the husband gets ten bullets in his body... I am surprised the cop didn't shoot the man's wife, although as you see in the video he considered about it for a second... had it been in the dark and not in people's own backyard the wife would have been shot as well.
The man behaved suspiciously, we all do, especially in those stressful situations... but it was miles away from any threatening behavior, and if it looked threatening then a cop should have hidden behind his car and kept giving commands until he becomes sure about the situation and man's intentions... You can punch someone in the face and then say sorry, you can use electro shock and then say sorry... but here a lethal weapon is being used, now you cannot wake the husband and father up... The only justification for this murder would be if the man have just killed someone in front of police and still has a gun in his hands.
The states's law should control cops' behavior.... it's hard to blame the cop, he is just human being and reacts according to the training he has been given, and police practices used in the country, the cop knows, he will not get sentenced for killing when he is on his duty, and for him is much better to kill earlier than to wait and might possibly face a dangerous threat later.

Thecop obviously knew the guy by shouting "ernie" twice.
However the guy was all hyped up and scrambling around by the car, people should know by now that doing that with American cops leads to a lot of bullets coming your way.
Also, his kids will grow up hating cops and will likely kill a one or two. The vicious cycle continues.

The officer is wrong morally but probably ok by what they teach the police. We don't know because we don't know if this is a result of a car chase or some other issue. Regardless, police need to be trained better and differently. I've witnessed far too many people I knew that could not handle tough situations become cops and walk around with a gun 3 months later if not sooner. It's not fair to expect that person to be able to handle tense situations

Agree with batman. If a suspect is brandishing a knife, the officer is authorized to use deadly force. I believe here and there are some stipulations... a knife is considered a deadly weapon within a 20 foot range, but not outside of it.
But that being said, I believe in this case it would have been better to shoot to disable, rather than kill.
