Hi there guys! Only just back from a long weekend trip with my son to Legoland made even longer by the delights of a 2 hour rail delay so I've almost no knowledge of the baseball news of the last few days. Well, I did have a dream that we resigned Manyan, reintroduced the old mug for Bernie to slide into and crushed the Cardinals so hard that LaRussa turned sober but, in the absence of any information to the contrary, I'm treating that very much as fact. Apart from the LaRussa thing – that'd never happen. Still, we now know the finalists for this year's BCB Fantasy League III and, again, having dreamt recently that I'm in the final I've rearranged the matches to make it happen (or perhaps not)...
MSKM (530) lost to More Than A Feeling (659)
While I've never really been one for doing crosswords (mainly on the basis that I'm crap at them) I do like cool facts about words. Earlier today I learnt that the longest English word that doesn't repeat any letters is "uncopyrightable" which means I'll have to shoehorn the word into more conversations so I can show off (you might be surprised on hearing that fact to learn I am currently single). Every one feels a slight frisson of excitement when seeing words like "skiing" with its rare double-i formation, but I've recently heard that "rupturewort" is the longest word that can be typed using solely keys on the top row of letter keys on the keyboard. My most-repeated lexicographic fact is that the only commonly-used words in English (excluding loads of scientific or medical terms that I'm hereby declaring to be worthless) to have all five vowels in them in the correct order are "abstemious" and "facetious". Actually, given the relatively "meh" showing of my team during the last fortnight I might as well stick to stupidly-useless word facts instead of fantasy baseball. MTAF put up a big day relatively early on and then sneaked a few points each day until he built a 100 point advantage that he was in no danger of losing. Kershaw and Madson (both 66) definitely did the business, but with the exception of Pence (51) and Markakis (50) the hitters never really put enough points on the board. Ianetta (3), Garrett Jones (1) and, surprise surprise, Mr 24ks himself Mark Reynolds (2) all failed when the pressure was on. MTAF was remarkably consistent with MadBum scoring 81 and a host of scores in the 40s from the likes of Ian Kennedy (49), Bautista (46), Carlos Lee and Ajax (both 45) and Cole Hamels (43). The team has been highly consistent all season and now MTAF is only one game away from winning it all.
Bringing Home the Bacon (617) beat Stinky Cheese (613)
Most of us know the feeling from school sports days. You're on the starting line, nervous as hell. You know there's loads of people watching and the pressure is on. The gun goes and as soon as the race starts you realise your best hope is avoiding complete and utter humiliation. That's what Stephen Bradbury felt when lining up in the Winter Olympic 2002 final having got through the qualifying round due to a disqualification, fluked his way through the semi-final due to three of the racers colliding with each other and sliding out and the winner being disqualified. As far as outsiders go, he was without doubt one of the rankest ever. And yet, and yet the unexpected can happen. Much as despite my fear of public humiliation when attempting to swim was completely erased by my come-from-behind victory in the school swimming gala (I lie – I was, in fact, publicly humiliated instead) Stephen Bradbury became a legend in the most unexpected circumstances. Watch this and then you'll finally understand the logic behind the biggest sporting cliché in existence, namely that speed skating events aren't played on paper. If anyone deserved to win Australia and the Southern Hemisphere's first ever Winter Olympics gold medal it was probably a guy who in 1994 lost 4 litres (litres!) of blood and 111 stitches after a fellow skater's blade slashed his thigh and six years later broke his neck in a training accident and was told he should never skate again. Admittedly, its an impressive story but not quite as impressive as BhtB's stupendous rise from being almost bottom of the power rankings a few weeks ago to making his way to the most important game in the history of sport: The BCB League III final, overcoming a 30 point deficit to sneak ahead of SC by a mere five points. James Shields' 74 points was the bedrock of his success with some nifty one-start pitching paying off as well. Carlos Pena (49), Juan Pierre (41) and surprise package Jerome Williams (40) were also big factors in his success. If SC is to spend the rest of his life hating any man it will be John Lester whose -14 points on the last day cost him dearly, but -15 over the fortnight from Daniel Bard and poor scores from Jeffs Francis (-14) and Niemann (-11) didn't help either.
Less meaningful matches
Poughkeepsie Footpickers (549) beat Bumpin' Ugglas (530)
Every so often you come across something just so weird that you wonder why you've never heard of it before. For example, we've all heard repeatedly on the pages of BCB about the Opium Wars in China and how the 18th Century Brits (ably assisted by the Americans) sold tonnes of Opium to China despite the Chinese trying to stop the trade. However, BCB has, until now, been suspiciously quiet on the 1931 great curry powder scandal in Japan where unscrupulous dealers were caught selling cheap domestic curry powder having rebranded it as the more prestigious Crosse & Blackwell brand leading to a notably international diplomatic incident? Sounds strange to us now but perhaps not so weird back then. But then again, Chipper Jones being fit enough to get 41 crucial points for PF seems a bit strange too given that 41 is normally the number of days he is on the DL (out of any randomly selected 41 days during the season). Still, PF sneaked a win thanks to Ellsbury and Moscoso each contributing 51 and assistance from Jones, Pujols (43), Andrus and Bonifacio (both 41). BU couldn't quite compete due mainly to a poor pitching line-up that over-relied on Daniel Hudson's 75 points. Hosmer (68) and Pagan (43) were the only BU hitters to muster more than 33 points as he slipped down the standings...
Social Anxiety All-Stars (451) lost to Little Lebowski Under-Achievers (493)
I've never seen Public Enemy live in concert, but a decade or so ago I saw Chuck D give a speech at a local university. He took a bit of time to get going but eventually it was just about worth the rather exorbitant £12 I spent on a ticket but definitely was not as good as seeing PE in full effect, bwoy. Tbh, I'd kinda forgotten about it all until the other day when I again came across Chuck D's arguments on the Internet about why Tupac faked his death. At the time the arguments seemed really risible and now they seem even more laughable. Chuck's 12 points include the suggestions that 'Pac faked his death because he died on Friday 13th (traditionally no-one dies on that day), the assailants couldn't have hidden in Las Vegas because it has such a small black community (!!), because Las Vegas is so corrupt there's loads of people who could have helped cover it up, his upcoming album was under the name Makaveli when Machiavelli faked his own death and had a picture of Tupac as Christ who, famously, was resurrected. Of course, any rap star worth his salt raps about dying and has delusions of grandeur. I wonder if Chuck still holds to his belief that Shakur is alive and reckons that in a few years he'll reappear as a 50 year-old living in Havana? Doubtless he'll possibly state that LLUA couldn't have beaten SAAS as they did not live up to their name and under-achieve and therefore must be some sort of imposter. After all, is it reasonable to assume that Jason Motte will topscore with 49 points and Marcos Scutaro be second with 38? Very suspicious indeed... Still, it was enough to see off SAAS who had superlative pitching through CJ Wilson (80), Javier Vazquez (73) and King Felix (56) but not much else.
Phoenix Fire (485) lost to Gold Glove Gamels (519)
One of the things that British people find hard to come to terms with about America and sports is the compulsion with college sport. Sure, there's a fair amount of misunderstanding based on lack of knowledge about the role of college sports and their importance within areas that might not have a major team within hundreds of miles but you're likely to get strange assumptions such as that college football is as popular as the NFL (a statement in the recent UK version of Esquire that could have been sorted by an elementary Google search). Mind you, perhaps there is just more pride in your Alma Mater in the States than over here. Saying that, its possibly well-known in the States that more of the 56 signees of the Declaration of Independence were from Harvard than any other University. But I bet it is slightly less well-known that apart from Harvard, no other university had more of its graduates signing the document than the University of Edinburgh. OK, so it had two people signing it (John Witherspoon and Benjamin Rush) and I'm not really convinced that no other American university had more than two signees but that's good enough for me – of course, as a University of Edinburgh graduate I would say that though. Still, the education I got there was enough to help me recognise when someone is out for revenge and GGG continues his one-man mission to prove he should have been in the winning play-offs as he overcomes PF in a tight one. Fister (72) and Halladay (57) kept PF in contact through much of the fortnight but his hitters underperformed and he couldn't live with Cliff Lee (68), Putz (45), Kimbrel (44) and one-man Crew-destroyer Rafael Furcal (40).
The Braun Supremacy (395) beat Harvey's Wallbangers (360)
Now, Noam Chomsky is somewhat of a divisive figure and with BCB being a resolutely non-political site its not really appropriate to go into most of his views, but his view of sport is an interesting one and reveals that, even if you accept his controversial political views, he really can be relatively clueless. Firstly, there's the "bread and circuses" view that sports are convenient alternatives that serve the function of stopping people from getting involved in things that matter conjuring an image of a dystopian future where sports or entertainment do not take place as people get their pure enjoyment from discussing changes in the autonomous community's attempts to devise an economic structure based around Parecon. Secondly, there's his view based on listening to sports talk radio that "the more striking fact is, the callers have a tremendous amount of expertise" and that these discussions and use of arithmetic in sports discussions shows "that people just want to use their intelligence somehow". In actual fact, discussions about sports on talk radio pretty much mirror political discussions: lots of hot air, ill-informed comments, extrapolation on the basis of a small number of incidents and partisanship taken to ridiculous levels. Of course, that shouldn't be surprising at all, given that the same basic processes are involved in discussing sports and discussing politics but to Chomsky it is all a surprise. Given that he was born in Philadelphia perhaps you'd have thought he'd be aware of the true primitive and obsessive nature of most fan-dom but I guess he hasn't been paying much attention to battery-throwing and Santa Claus-booing over the years. Still, he's probably paid more attention to fantasy baseball than TBS who hasn't changed his team in months but still manages to win the odd game. Kinsler (72) has been on fire for him recently, with decent support from Fat Mo Rivera's 54 points (OK, so he's not at all fat but the name sounds cool) and nice points from David Murphy (51) and V-Mart (50). HW only had Matt Kemp scoring above 40 (41) although Wandy and Soria were only just behind (both 39).
The Team That I Refuse to Name (274) lost to Chin Music (311)
I'd never really thought of him as an author, but the other day I read that Walt Disney was the most translated author of all time. Even when you think about it having Disney as number one seems strange, but the fact that he and Agatha Christie are both more translated than the Bible seems to say something about the world and our priorities that I didn't imagine would be true. To be honest, the rest of the list is equally surprising, with Lenin, Verne, Cartland, Blyton, Shakespeare, Hans Christian Andersen and Brothers Grimm making up the rest of the top ten. Lenin is, for sure, on the slide due to the collapse of the Soviet Bloc and only Verne and Shakespeare can be really called classic authors. I suppose Verne's prominence and Shakespeare being only at number eight is due to the fact that with most people reading English there is more need for translations into English than into French but I'd guess I could have sat for an hour and perhaps guessed no more than two or three of the names. Given his recent form I could pretty much have guessed that TTTIRTN would lose this one and he didn't disappoint. David Wright scored 40 and Joel Hanrahan 37 as he put up a weak overall score. When only one player on your team scores above 37 (Jason Bay with 48) and your pitching "contributes" -13 points and you still win, as CM did, you can count yourself kinda lucky...
Craig Counsell's Steakhouse (210) lost to Never Gonna Give You Upton (388)
As recommended by the good readers of BCB I recently delved into the world of American history by purchasing Paul Johnson's "A History of the American People". Its a purchased I'm already delighted with for two reasons. Firstly, I finally have a replacement for my recently sold set of golf clubs in the role of "item I'll use to clobber any intruder with". Secondly, a brief flick through taught me that the most recognised word in English is "OK", with the second most recognised being "Coca Cola" although perhaps in the years since the book was written "MacDonalds" might be pushing it close. Actually, third most recognised English word or name is probably LaRussaSucks. OK, so its not really a word, but then, to the Cardinals, every other baseball team isn't really a baseball team as they are the sole group playing up to the high standards demanded by the arbiters of the national pastime (which, coincidentally, is themselves). Certainly the moral judges of all that is right and proper would want a serious word with CCS who scored only 210 points in the fortnight to possibly put up the worst performance of the season. How a team can only total 210 points when Miggy hits 53 and Ryan Howard and Vlad Guerrero both get 50 is almost unfathomable, particularly when Cano got 37 and Keppinger another 30. Mind you, when your pitching across two weeks scores -81 points (-81 POINTS!!!!) almost anything is possible. Every single one of the six pitchers the team put up scored negative points. Every single one of them. That made it easy for NGGYU who cruised in behind Justin Upton (53), Ichiro (45) and Gaby Sanchez (43).
Nest week's matches
The BIG ONE as Bringing Home the Bacon (blue corner, Scotland) takes on More Than A Feeling (red corner, USA) for the overall title. MSKM takes on Stinky Cheese in the bronze medal position while Mr Irrelevant/Lanterne Rouge will be either Craig Counsell's Steakhouse or TTTIRTN. A few week's ago I'd have predicted TTTIRTN taking the title but CCS showed some excellent bad form last week and must be hoping that his superlatively poor pitching can live down to their reputation.

IN March last year, ambulance bosses apologised for leaving a young South Tyneside woman with a broken back lying in agony on a freezing-cold riverside.
Lynsey Mullen, 22, had to wait for more than an hour for an ambulance crew to arrive after she suffered a shattered vertebra in a sledging accident at Hebburn Riverside Park.
Her mother, Julie Moon, 45, said: "The ambulance service admitted missing four opportunities to send out a rapid-response paramedic to Lynsey, meaning that it was almost two hours after the first call for help was made before she was taken to hospital."
Two months earlier, the family of a sick pensioner who was forced to wait five hours for an ambulance, hit out at the delay.
Wheelchair-bound Sylvia Hopps, 91, was left in agony when an ambulance was called to her home in Coble Landing, South Shields, at 5.40pm on January 6 but did not arrive until 10.50pm to take the great grandmother to hospital.
During that time, her daughters, Mandy Hume, 57, and Sylvia Elliott, 68, who both have disabilities, had been trying their best to make their mum as comfortable as they could.
The family complained to the North East Ambulance Service, saying they were "outraged" by the delay.
In February last year, the family of Henrietta Rowan, 82, were angry after she had to wait almost four hours for an ambulance after falling in the bathroom at her home in Avon Road, Hebburn.
Ambulance officials apologised – blaming a near doubling in emergency calls it was handling.
Three ambulances were initially sent to the Hebburn pensioner's home – but each one had to be diverted elsewhere.
Mrs Rowan was released from South Tyneside District Hospital after an X-ray found no broken bones, but had to be brought home by her son, as no ambulance was available for the return journey.

Elton John is to make an appearance in a concert in the Malaysian capital on Saturday but the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) is planning on holding a protest against it.
The party is going to protest on grounds that it would promote "hedonism" and because of the his marriage,it could have a negative impact on young Malaysians. "We will use the approach of submitting a memorandum [to the government] to protest against the concert," PAS Youth chief Nasrudin Hassan Tantawi said.
"This is one of the measures we intend to check social ills in the country. Whatever it takes, we will not let up on our dakwah [preaching of Islam] work and will continually remind all Muslims, particularly youths, not to get involved in matters that can drag them into vice," he added.
The concert is scheduled to take place at the Arena of Stars in Genting Hills on Saturday evening.

Caroline Powell describes her Olympic achievement
Caroline says Lenamore was on great form, and that the crowds spurred them both on:
"He jumped fantastically on the cross country, we were 4 seconds over which was such a shame.
"He coped with the whole thing really well, the crowds really picked him up and as you were going round the cross country you could feel the adrenalin from the people, that kept everybody going, it was absolutely amazing."
She also says she hopes London 2012 has done a lot for the image of equestrian events:
"We were sceptical about it being in Greenwich, in the centre of London, but I think long term it has done the sport so well. I have people coming up to me saying 'I didn't know horses danced to music'. The understanding of what we actually do is starting to be a bit more realistic to people."

Ashes 2nd Test Day 2 Cricket Highlights – 2013
Ashes 2nd Test Day 2 Cricket Highlights – 2013. Ashes 2013 Cricket Highlights 2nd Test Day 2 at Lords. The Ashes Highlights 2013. England vs Australia 2nd Test Ashes Series 2013 Highlights.
Disgraced batsman David Warner's hopes of playing in the third Ashes Test looked slim on Friday after he failed in both innings of Australia A's tour match against a Zimbabwe Select XI in Harare.
After managing just six in his side's first innings, Warner was out for 11 on Friday as he battled for 36 balls to find his rhythm against a modest home attack.
The 26-year-old is still officially part of Australia's Ashes squad, but has been sent to the A team in the hope he would spend some time in the middle after a turbulent period off the pitch.
Warner was fined by Cricket Australia for an expletive-laden Twitter attack on two Australian journalists in May, and just a month later was sent home from the Champions Trophy and suspended from playing for his country until the Ashes series in England following an altercation with English batsman Joe Root.
Australia A finish their match against the Zimbabwe Select XI on Saturday before heading to Pretoria to play the first of two unofficial Test matches against South Africa A, starting on Wednesday.

Kansas hasn't won much this year, but Sims has been outstanding since returning from a three-game suspension. Coach Charlie Weis called him a workhorse last week, and he proved it on Saturday, rushing 27 times for 138 yards and a touchdown. He also caught three passes for 42 yards and carried the load for a KU rushing offense missing back Tony Pierson.

Rodriguez Rejuvenation's Mind & Body Power Rx
Boost Your Brain with Methylcobalamin B-12…Power your Body with Acai Slim
RAVE Review TESTIMONIAL
"Prior to seeing Dr Rodriguez I was diagnosed with the Epstein Barr virus which causes chronic fatigue. My immune system was weakened and I was waking up every morning wondering how soon I could get back to bed to take a nap to make it through the day. It was a struggle to get myself energized for work and I definitely was not even thinking about cardio exercise to complement my tennis activity. As a result I had put on some unwanted pounds. A friend of mine recommended Dr Rodriguez to me as someone who could help me be more proactive about my health. She could not have made a truer statement! Week one and two I noticed a big boost in energy. By the end of the month I felt the most energized and healthy I have felt in over ten years. I felt so much better on the inside it showed on the outside. I was sleeping better, more energy to take on normal life and even more energy to actually want to exercise. My relationships with my husband, kids and friends improved because I had more energy to be more patient and positive. The B12 and Acai Slim are now a big part of my healthy, happy, active life!" Penny (Dallas, Texas)
In the business of "Medicine", quality of life is often regarded in terms of how it is negatively affected, on an individual level. Examples are a debilitating weakness that is not life-threatening, life-threatening illness that is not terminal, terminal illness, the predictable, natural decline in the health of an elder, an unforeseen mental/physical decline of a loved one, chronic, and end-stage disease processes. In the business of "Wellness," Researchers at the University of Toronto's Quality of Life Research Unit define quality of life as "The degree to which a person enjoys the important possibilities of his or her life". Their Quality of Life Model is based on the categories "being", "belonging", and "becoming", respectively– 'who one is', 'how one is connected to one's environment,' and 'whether one achieves one's personal goals, hopes, and aspirations.' It's all about being your best!

All B-12 Is Not the Same: The Importance of Methylcobalamin B-12
Methylcobalamin is the form of vitamin B12 that is active in the central nervous system. It is essential for cell growth and replication. In some people the liver may not convert cyanocobalamin, the common inexpensive supplemental form of vitamin B12 that contains cyanide, into adequate amounts of the physiologically active methylcobalamin, needed for proper neuronal functioning. Methylcobalamin may exert its neuroprotective effects through enhanced methylation, acceleration of nerve cell growth, or its ability to maintain already healthy homocysteine levels.
Benefits of B-12
Common Signs of Low B-12
What happen if left untreated?
Low vitamin B12 levels may cause numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, unsteadiness, difficulty walking, confusion, depression, memory loss, dementia, disorientation and mood changes. Damage to the myelin, or fatty sheath that surrounds cranial, spinal and peripheral nerves may also occur in a person with vitamin B12 deficiency. Although vitamin B12 deficiency-related neurological symptoms progress slowly, they may be irreversible, even if the underlying vitamin B12 deficiency is treated. Neurological complications of vitamin B12 deficiency are the only clinical manifestation of the disease in approximately 25 percent of cases of deficiency.
How is Rodriguez Rejuvenation's Methylcobalamin B-12 supplied?
They are supplied in sterile injectable form. Dr. Rodriguez generally prescribes 1 cc per week injected intramuscularly. You can easily and safely self-inject at home with instruction from your physician's office.
Why injections and not a pill?
Many important supplements are broken down by the hydrochloric acid in your stomach before they can make it to the intestines to be absorbed. For example, up to 98% of oral Vitamin B12 may be destroyed in the stomach, so that if you take a 1000mcg pill, only 20mcg may make it into your bloodstream. Injections, with very thin painless needles, are the most effective way to deliver a consistent amount of medicine into your bloodstream.
Why Rodriguez Rejuvenation's Acai Slim?

News: Kim Kardashian's Lil Bro Exposes Kanye West's X-Mas Plans
Saturday, Dec 22, 2012 5:01PM
Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West is camping out with the Kardashians this Christmas according to his girlfriend Kim Kardashian's little brother.
According to Rob Kardashian, Kanye will be a part of the family come December 25th.
"My mom has a really big Christmas party every year on Christmas Eve," Rob told us last night at his Arthur George sock collection launch event in L.A. "We all sleep over at the house, and on Christmas morning we wake up at like 6 a.m. and do presents," he said. "They all make breakfast, all the girls. We watch basketball. It's a family day." Rob says in addition to Kim and Kanye, all of his famous fam, including Kourtney and Khloé, will be in attendance for the big holiday party. "Christmas is home, so everyone will be home and we'll all hang out together," he said. (E! Online)
The Yeezy-Kardashian holiday celebration will reportedly be the first time everyone has gotten together in recent memory.
This will be the first time in a while that the whole family is together -- Kim, Kourtney and Scott Disick have been down in Miami shooting "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami" with Mason, 3, and Penelope, 5 months, while Khloe has been traveling back and forth to co-host "The X Factor" in Los Angeles. Rob has been keeping busy too. (He recently split with girlfriend Rita Ora). (Huffington Post)
Back in late 2009, Kanye and ex-girlfriend/model Amber Rose fed the needy for the holidays.
"The day after Christmas, Amber, my cousin Ricky, and I went to feed the homeless at the LA Mission," he wrote Monday (January 4). "It was really humbling and emotional for us. I wanna thank Mari Ronquillo and the LA Mission for allowing me to participate." (Kanye West's Blog)
Recently, Kim K spoke on her close-knit bond with Mr. West since officially hooking up earlier this year.
Kim, Khloé and Kourtney grace the cover of Cosmopolitan UK's December issue and open up for the magazine's Ultimate Women Awards 2012 edition. Looking glamorous in mini-dresses from their new collection for the British brand Dorothy Perkins, the ladies discuss why it's important to feel good about yourself. "I want to teach my future daughters -- and Penelope [Kourtney's daughter] -- that confidence is everything," Kim told Cosmo UK, which named the sisters the Ultimate Confidence Queens. "I don't mean cockiness, just being sure of yourself." "I always remember high school and think, 'If only I had the confidence back then that I have now,' " Kourtney added. So where does Kim get her confidence? Well, boyfriend Kanye West certainly helps. "He's great at boosting my confidence," Kim admitted. "He gives me compliments in every way possible." (MTV)

from Eyewitness News Online
May 10, 2013
Dr. James Bailes with CHH Pediatrics said his plan to help obese children has drastically changed in the last couple decades. He said he has turned away from federal guidelines that suggest a low-fat diet to lose weight.
"Fat is not the cause of obesity. It's really carbohydrate intake and that's what causes your body to make insulin and insulin is what makes you store fat. Until we started to cut back on our carbohydrate intake did we really start to see kids lose weight," he said.
Bailes has the success stories to back up his strategies. He shows us stacks of photos and tells stories of patients losing up to 50 pounds and more with this type of dietary plan.
He suggests between 30 to 60 carbohydrates a day, mainly from fruits and vegetables. But he said to watch out for fruits high in sugar.
"If you're actually trying to lose weight, a banana is going to make it just as difficult to lose weight than eating a candy bar as well," he said.
Medical professionals don't just look at a child's weight, but the overall Body Mass Index. "If we're getting higher and higher on our BMI curve per age, then that's something that we need to do something about at a younger and younger age."
Even children as young as 3 or 4 can have serious weight problems, and the earlier you can make changes, the better.
"I like to think of it as a healthy lifestyle, and the changes can't just be made for a couple months. They need to be lifelong changes," Bailes said.
That includes giving up some video game and iPad time.
"I encourage kids to get 30 to 45 to 60 minutes a day of outdoor, heart rate up, exercise every single day," he said.
Bailes said to keep an open mind to a different lifestyle.
"If you talk to most dietitians, they'll tell you low-fat is the way to go, and unfortunately, as we've cut back our fat intake, we're getting fatter and fatter as a country," he said..

'The Lucky One': No one getting 'Lucky' here
"The Lucky One" is adapted from a Nicholas Sparks novel, and so it cannot and will not be judged by its plot, character development or any other traditional measure of a film's worth. Like "The Notebook" and "Dear John," its sole purpose and only responsibility is to make you fall in unconditional love with its noble hero — in this case, an ex-Marine (played by Zac Efron's sparkling eyes) who, when not mentoring children or taking care of dogs, is searching for a woman whose photo he found on the battlefield.
In order to do this, director Scott Hicks stocks the film with characters that are at best forgettable (the all-important constantly crying blonde, played by Taylor Schilling) and more frequently hilarious caricatures (crying blonde's abusive ex-husband and her sensitive son who can't catch a baseball). Of course, he still asks his audience to make some leaps of faith — such as accepting Efron as a Marine — but for this he can be forgiven in the name of love.
If nothing else though, we must hold "The Lucky One" accountable for its outdoor shower sex scene, for which the entire first hour of the film serves as bland, insufferable foreplay. Unfortunately, here's where it decides to take some cues from the real world: Complete with the most awkward, clumsy groping since prom, not even Efron's newly muscled shoulders can provide a moment of escapist peace as Schilling clearly eyes up a much more comfortable bed. You've faked sexier things in your own shower — and that's a problem we can't overlook.

First off lets imagine a team of
My god if that isnt the scariest team youve ever heard of...gives me goosebumps
Chemistry wise Idk how well it works that is why im torn on his acquisition. Id love for his talent to come to indy just not his attitude. But this is all hypothetical and in good fun. Although there are reports out there that we have been interested in the past and still are so who knows this is possible.
The way we can trade for Rondo and still keep flexibility for Lance this offseason is to trade Granger, Copeland, and Mahinmi plus the 2 first round picks that Boston wants for Rondo. Granger is an expiring contract who really wont contribute much for us or has at least shown he has lost a lot since the injury. Copeland and Mahinmi combined next year count for almost 8.5 mil against the cap and by sending them in the deal it rids of their contracts plus they are not going to contribute really this year anyway. Copeland never plays as it is and Bynum will replace Mahninmi. Rondo's contract is 12.91 mil and grangers is close to 14 so we save around 1 mil to go along with the 8.5 so that gives right at 9.5 to 10 mil to use on lance this offseason.
Now another trade that benefits the Pacers more in my opinion is not trading granger and instead trading Cj watson instead. his contract is 2 million and when you combine his with copeland and mahnimi plus the very little room under the cap we have it equals out to right around 13.3 million. That is enough to cover rondo's salary and not let us go over the luxury tax line. This way we are able to retain Granger's services throughout the playoffs in which case we just let his contract expire after the season ends and resign lance. This way we actually rid ourselves of Watson's contract because under this circumstance we would not need him if Rondo is acquired because it would make him the 3rd string point.
Although I have laid out this possibility and have only thought about it because of all the rumors ive heard, I honestly am torn on whether acquiring Rondo would be good or not. On paper oh hell yes please!!! But this team with its chemistry and everything it may just be better to keep who we have intact. The old saying is don't fix what ain't broken.
Honestly I truly believe we already made the move that will put us over the top and that is acquiring Bynum. I believe he will buy into our system and be a key factor in the playoffs.

SAN DIEGO – The Chargers continued the process of taking care of their own Wednesday, reaching agreement with punter Mike Scifres on a five-year contract extension that, if he reaches the end of it, would keep him in a San Diego uniform through 2016.
The extension could be worth as much as $19 million, with $9 million guaranteed. Scifres will make $1.155 million this year, the last of his current deal.
"To be here, in my ninth year, in the place that gave me a chance out of college and still believes in me now, to reward me with this contract, it's unbelievable," Scifres said.
Scifres had a strange 2010 season. He averaged 46.7 yards per punt, a career high, but had four punts blocked and another deflected. The Chargers' also allowed foes to average 18.9 yards a return, leading to a net average of just 30.8.
Obviously, those numbers weren't held against him, and special teams improvement has been a point of emphasis in 2011.
Scifres' new deal is just the latest of a number of signings and extensions designed to keep the core of the team together. Following the lockout the Chargers re-signed starters Malcom Floyd, Jeromey Clary, Jacques Cesaire and Eric Weddle, as well as backups Brandyn Dombrowski, Scott Mruczkowski, Randy McMichael, Billy Volek, Antwan Barnes and Stephen Cooper.
This is on top of previous deals that locked up Kris Dielman, Marcus McNeill, Antonio Gates and Philip Rivers. The Chargers are said to have deals in the pipeline for center Nick Hardwick and linebacker Shaun Phillips as well.
"It's comforting to know that if you perform well and do the right things, the team is going to reward you," Scifres said. "That's the important thing for us, to keep this team together."
The bulk of the Chargers' defensive attention during Sunday's opener against Minnesota will be focused on Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who torched them for an NFL-record 296 yards in 30 carries when the teams last played in 2007 in Minneapolis.
Coming in quietly, in contrast, is former Norco High star Toby Gerhart, beginning his second season as Peterson's backup. Gerhart had just nine carries for 29 yards in the Vikings' four exhibition games, and also caught two passes for 15 yards. He was limited by an Achilles' problem but is not on the team's injury report.
Inside linebacker Stephen Cooper, a starter the past four seasons, is currently listed as a backup to Takeo Spikes on the right side.
There was some question as to whether he would even make the 53-man roster after suffering a torn left biceps, but Cooper convinced the coaching staff by playing most of the way in the final exhibition against San Francisco, making four tackles.
"Honestly, it's just pushing through the pain," said Cooper, who intends to play through it and have surgery in the offseason. "It doesn't really (affect) me trying to get off blocks or tackling or anything. It's like a deep bruise, nothing I can't deal with. It'll hold up."
Tickets are still available for Sunday's game. The Chargers have until 1:15 pm today, to sell the remaining general tickets — 1,800 were unsold as of Tuesday — and lift the NFL's mandatory local television blackout.

Despite the facetious headline and results, Jon Niese gave fans reason to believe there will be some competent pitching outside of Johan Santana this season. While John Maine quickly shied away from his mediocre fastball last night, showing the Marlins all his secondary pitches by the end of the first inning, Niese came out with the opposite game plan. Of his 92 pitches, 81 (88%) were some variety of fastball, the distribution being roughly 40 fourseamers, 20 cutters and 20 two-seamers. Niese threw all three pitches for a high percentage of strikes and swinging strikes. Surprisingly, he only went to his curveball 5 times and only once for a strike. It's puzzling to see Niese abandon his best pitch for an entire game, but if he can combine today's strong fastballs and command with a good curve in future games, he'll be successful.
Better defense would have also helped, but Niese isn't blameless in his 8 hits allowed. The groundballs that beat Wright and Tatis and lead to runs weren't gimmes by any means. More notably in the field, Angel Pagan and Luis Castillo proved what everyone already knew: Gary Matthews should be benched and Luis Castillo sent via rocket to the moon. Ruben Tejada looked slick at shortstop in his major league debut, albeit not tested too much. I think Keith summed up my thoughts on Ruben's debut perfectly when he said, "Needs to take the puka shells off."
The culprit in the loss was, of course, the offense, despite Jerry Manuel constructing the first sensible lineup of the season. The Mets walked 0 times against a starter who walked 5 batters per nine innings last season and otherwise had no answer to the soft-tossing lefty. Nate Robertson shouldn't be underestimated as a decent starter, but it was a pretty pitiful performance, especially considering the extreme platoon advantage of the Mets lineup against lefties. Hopefully familiarity will lead to a better performance next time.
Burke Badenhop came in for three dominant innings of relief, saving the beleaguered and embarrassed Marlins bullpen. Leo Nunez got the save despite throwing 40 pitches the night before. Overall, the Mets hit a few deep flyballs into the gaps, which were tracked down by the speedy outfielders Cameron Maybin and Cody Ross, and barely tested the suspect Florida infield. Francoeur and Pagan each had two hits, which hopefully pushes Matthews out of the lineup for a few games.
On a positive note, the bullpen pitched better. Ryoto Igarashi came in and threw pretty erratically to Cameron Maybin, walking him on five pitches. He then settled down and got Hanley Ramirez to ground in to a double play and Jorge Cantu to pop out on two 95-mph splitters. Hisanori Takahashi mixed pitches and speeds well in the eighth, retiring the side in order. After Tak walked the first batter of the ninth, Manuel played match-ups with Pedro Feliciano and Fernando Nieve, who he already figures to use a lot this season.
The Mets start a series against the Nats tomorrow and will have to hit better against a similarly soft-tossing lefty in John Lannan, when Reyes returns Saturday.

Lorenzo Rivera may be only 11 years old, but he knows more about politics than many adults.
The Chicago fifth-grader proves just how much in the new documentary "By the People: The Election of Barack Obama," where he is filmed making campaign calls on Obama's behalf in 2008.Later in the article, Houlihan reports that the calm and graceful Lorenzo's father just happens to work for U. S. Senator Roland Burris (D-IL). Quite a coincidence there.
In the movie, debuting at 8 p.m. Tuesday on HBO, filmmakers Amy Rice and Alicia Sams capture Lorenzo, only 9 at the time, handling a call to a confused voter with a calm and grace belying his young age.
"I think a lot of people are putting way too much pressure on him (Obama)," Lorenzo said, sounding like a true politician. "The economy was about to crash and he stopped it from a total meltdown. But that doesn't mean he can totally fix it in such a short time."Even in articles purportedly reviewing TV programs, the mainstream media can find a way to beat the drum for - and make excuses for - Obama. Mmm. Mmm. Mm!

Florida Department of Corrections terminated a contract with Goodwill Industries Suncoast and removed all the inmates from its Largo work release center Friday morning, the department representatives told us.
The department made this decision based on the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office report, according to the statement DOC issued. PCSO deputies conducted surveillance of inmates at the Largo center.
News Channel 8's Josh Thomas reported on Thursday the investigation revealed that inmates leave the facility, hide things in the bushes and even conduct hand-to-hand transactions with outsiders.
Related story: 06/27/2013 Pinellas Sheriff calls for halfway house to close
PCSO Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said about the Largo center, "The inmates would leave the facility, they would go up and down US 19, and behind businesses, and they had stuff buried under bushes, and stuff under mulch and stuff behind a variety of businesses."
The DOC statement also mentioned an inaccurate inmate count conducted by Goodwill which allowed an escaped inmate to go undetected for more than three hours.
DOC representatives considered these deficiencies to constitute a real and immediate threat to public safety.
They removed all the inmates form the Largo center at 4 a.m. Friday and sent a notice out to Goodwill about the contract termination, according to the statement.
Friday evening, the president and CEO of Goodwill Industries-Suncoast, Deborah A. Passerini, issued a written response, which is as follows:
"We are disappointed by the decision to shut down our Largo facility.
Goodwill re-entry centers are designed to help those Floridians who've been in prison make a successful transition back into society. We do this as a way to serve our communities and help those who have been incarcerated find jobs once they are released. Goodwill helped pioneer work release more than 50 years ago and these programs work. Multiple studies have shown that work release programs significantly reduce the rates of recidivism.
We would like to clarify the timeline regarding the offender escape that was mentioned in the news. Our surveillance shows the offender left the facility at 12:40 a.m. We discovered he was not in his bed at 4:16 a.m. We then immediately searched the facility and completed that search at 4:52 a.m. At that point, we called the Department of Corrections first, which we are required to do. We then made a series of additional calls, also required, and once those calls were complete, we called the Sheriff's office at 5:47 a.m. At 5:50 a.m. Goodwill staff confronted individuals in a white vehicle who were found to be from the Sheriff's office. We then continued to work closely with all authorities until the offender was arrested.
Goodwill does great work to help people in our community. Day in and day out, we are focused on our mission, which is to help people achieve their full potential through the dignity and power of work."

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tom Brady has been the story in New England for a long time. That will likely continue to be true for as long as No. 12 is under center for the Patriots.
But the offseason addition of Darrelle Revis and hopeful progression of a number of young players on defense has some budding confidence and hope brewing in Foxborough this spring.
The possibilities of what Revis can do are obvious. He's arguably the best cover corner in the game. He takes pressure off the back end coverage and helps the pressure his teammates apply up front.
"He could give me a little more time to get to the quarterback; that's always a nice thing," defensive end Rob Ninkovich said with a laugh before expanding on what Revis brings to New England.
"I think having a guy like that definitely helps you as far as any scheme you are running on defense. If you have a No. 1 receiver, you can put him on that guy and he's going to do a great job on him. Having a guy like that is always great on defense. Just knowing that whatever best receiver you have on the field he's going to cover him."
While the way Revis might help transform the Patriots defense is pretty clear, the expectations and hopes for second-year linebacker Jamie Collins aren't quite as predictable.
Collins started eight of the 16 games he played as a rookie, notching 38 tackles, three quarterback hits and three passes defensed during the regular season. Solid but unspectacular production.
Then during the Patriots' dismantling of Andrew Luck and the Colts last January, Collins had six tackles, a sack, three quarterback hits and an interception.
It was a breakout performance that turned the heads of many fans and media.
Now, with the departure of Brandon Spikes, Collins is penciled in as a full-time starter at outside linebacker.
While expectations may not necessarily be for him to replicate the production against the Colts each week, they will certainly be higher than the 11 games he had as a rookie with two or fewer tackles.
"I think he's going to continue to improve," Ninkovich said of Collins in his second season. "It's all about working and going out there and earning it.
"So I think he definitely has all the tools to do anything he wants in this league. He just has to go out there and do it."
Fellow linebacker Dont'a Hightower, himself a former first-round pick who knows a little something about dealing with expectations, clearly has faith that his young teammate is ready for a bigger role.
"With Jamie, I feel like he's blossomed a lot sooner than anybody," Hightower said. "I feel like he was a lot more mature in his first year than some people are in their third year. You couldn't tell that he wasn't a third- or a fourth-year player."
The return to health of guys like defensive co-captains like Vince Wilfork and Jerod Mayo will give the Patriots a clear boost over what the defense had to offer for much of last season.
But if the unit is to make major advancements and take a step toward equal billing with the Brady-led offense, it will be through the improvement that newcomers like Revis and developing youngsters like Collins bring to the field this fall.
--Offensive lineman R.J. Mattes was released on Wednesday. Undrafted out of North Carolina State last year, he spent time with New England last summer as well as a short stint on the team's practice squad late last season.
--WR Jeremey Johnson was signed by the Patriots on Thursday. The 6-foot, 179-pound rookie free agent out of SMU caught 112 passes for 1,112 yards with six touchdowns as a senior for the Mustangs. Over the course of his four-year career, he hauled in 196 passes for 1,936 yards with 10 touchdowns.
--LB James Anderson joined the Patriots earlier this month to add veteran experience and depth to a young, thin depth chart at the position in New England. The former Bear and Panther has been lining up with the second unit at outside linebacker and at 6-2, 235 is clearly one of the smaller linebackers in New England.
--RT Sebastian Vollmer missed the final eight games last season because of a broken leg. As is the case with so many players when they are forced to miss time from the game, Vollmer admits he's probably enjoying OTA workouts more than the average player might. "No doubt, whenever you get hurt or miss some games, you're excited to be back," Vollmer said. "You go through rehab and try to get your body right. So it's definitely exciting for me."

Professor Ripley receives prestigious award
At Mercyhurst University, political science students do a lot more than write papers and take exams. In fact, student participation in extracurricular activities is not just encouraged, it is expected.
In addition to participating in departmental activities, political science students are active in a number of college and community organizations. In recent years political science students have held elected office in student government, participated in study abroad experiences and traveled to Washington, DC for internships. Students have worked for non-profits, like the Lake Erie Region Conservancy, and served as leaders in the Pennsylvania College Democrats. The Democratic and Republican party organizations on campus hold debates during election years, and participate in voter registration drives. Indeed, political science students are among the most active students on campus.

Got To Be Kidding
Hunt Clue
and Dining
Autumn colors show how to end a season. I spent
the month of October devising endings for presentations. See News
Headlines for a link to the best three speech closings I came up
with. One led to two sold-out booksignings, another to a mini standing
ovation. Mostly, though, they led to follow-on bookings.
Yes, this issue of the newsletter is a tad (!) late, mainly because
of the intense schedule of travel and appearances we had in early
November. The good news is that, as a result, book sales remain

news coverage.
Got To Be Kidding
Can you imagine naming your organization the Department of
Justice? Whoa. Any organization capable of such presumption surely
could rise to other equally breathtaking acts. One need only watch
and wait. In October, folks who'd been watching and waiting
saw the Justice Department respond to a Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) request by posting to its web site a report on internal workplace
diversity. Vast portions of the text had been blacked out, to hide
information the department did not want released.
Several days later, as Kevin Poulsen of SecurityFocus reported
in The Register, the full report--minus the opaque black rectangles--appeared
on another web site. "It turns out the report began its life
as a Microsoft Word document, and whoever was in charge of sanitizing
it for public release did so by using Word's highlight tool,
with the highlight color set to black." That Word document
was then posted in Adobe's Portable Document File (PDF) format.
Apparently the department presumed curious citizens could not crack
the PDF file open and tinker with the blacked-out text. Bad presumption.
Turns out such reverse engineering is not only possible, it's
easy, if you know what you're doing, which explains the department's
gaffe. Turns out also that department sanitizers appear to have
gotten carried away with their black highlighter and excised far
more than they were allowed by law to withhold, such as the fact
that department attorneys perceive racial harassment to be a problem.
A Justice Department spokesman tried to comment on the story, but
his words were muffled by black tape over his mouth.
Got To Be Kidding Archives
Hunt Clue
This month's clue is illustrated by the difference between
hate and heat or ate and eat. That is, the meaning derives from
where the letters are placed within the word. Clues from earlier
newsletter tell you exactly where the letters have been placed.
Wow, this is a huge clue. Time for a winner to step forward and
claim the $1,000. As always, remember that this is a game of skill
and no purchase is necessary.
Travels and speeches dominated the month of October, with major
talks in Charlotte, Tampa, and Arlington. The University of North
Carolina at Charlotte became a most-favored school by its purchase
of 250 copies of No Outward Sign. The Tampa chapter of the Armed
Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) became
the first crowd in which, after my talk, a group actually leaped
to its feet in standing ovation. Okay, only a dozen out of 166 participated
in the leap, but that's a start. In Arlington I chaired a
two-day conference on cyberterrorism, after which the conference
organizer wrote that, based on feedback from the evaluation forms,
"this conference scored the highest of all my conferences…
I would recommend you as a chair and a speaker to anyone."
All nice results.
Since speeches have been my best marketing tool, I've spent
a lot of time crafting them and have learned much in the process.
Most of my efforts have focused on the speech closing. For the benefit
of others, I've prepared a guide on how
to end a speech. It includes the three most effective speech
closings I've used recently.
The newest addition to our promotion material is a life-size
cutout of me, suitable for placement at a bookstore entrance.
The idea is to delude people into thinking the store has been blessed
with a visitation from someone of galactic importance. Our plan
is to install the two-dimensional creature a week in advance with
a sign announcing the grand date. For the actual occasion of my
visit, we have a sign
that reads, "Here Today Only! Author Bill Neugent."
Other new promotional items are a terrific series of bookmarks
and a set of Signed
By Author stickers, all designed by Jill.
For those of you considering your own life-size cutout, be aware
of the effect such a thing might have on pets. Our cat Pippin is
terrified of the looming presence and won't go near it. In
fact, he behaves toward it the same way he behaves toward me when
I put on a hat and thus become a horrible monster.
and Dining
When I'm on the road, I have this hang-up of dining in the
hotel restaurant. The food may not be as good as at a real restaurant,
but I give points for convenience. It is because of this quirk that
I found myself in the Windham Westshore hotel in Tampa dining at
a restaurant in which the menu was written on a football. Really.
In retrospect, I've decided to list menu-on-a-football as
one of the restaurant warning signs.
Okay, now I do want to be positive in my restaurant reviews, so
let me say that Shula's
Steakhouse is positively the place to dine if you are writing
a non-fiction book entitled How To Become Fat, especially if you'd
like to include a chapter on How To Become Fat In Just One Meal.
Shula's is the kind of place where an appetizer would feed
all of Hollywood for a week. I am happy to say that I did not join
the 23,000 men and women who ate their way to membership
in Shula's 48 Oz. Club™. To join the club, you have
to eat almost an entire cow at one sitting. If you accomplish that,
you get a free picture of Coach Shula and your name is listed on
the restaurant's web site. You also receive the honor of qualifying
to pay $120 for a football personalized by Coach Shula and containing
your name and picture. One member, Taft Parker, has eaten over a
hundred 48-oz. steaks. If you're thinking of going up against
his record, I suggest first you go to the restaurant web site and
check out his picture.
Need a speaker? Find out why my cyberterrorism talk googles in first
place in response to "cyberterrorism speaker" or "cybersecurity
speaker." The talk is Cyberterrorism;
We're Toast. John Bumgarner of Charlotte, NC, called it
"the most entertaining presentation I have ever attended."
Patrick Murphy of Arlington, VA, said, "fantastic brief...I
cannot recall when I have been so entertained and informed at the
same time."
The talk is in great demand and increasingly is being
accompanied by large-scale book buys. So far, eight groups have
bought or committed to buy 1,000 copies to hand out in association
with the talk, and several other groups are considering purchases.
Do you know of a group that might benefit from this opportunity?
Enjoying this newsletter and wish there were more to read? Try
the novel. Several people have likened the writing style to that
of Robert Ludlum.

In a recent email, one of our members, Russ Worthington (who runs the fantastic A Worthington Weblog) suggested a new feature for GeneaBloggers:
I have been able to hear and/or see Geneabloggers over the past, almost a year. However, I have missed several.
Many, but not all, of the Genealogy conferences appear to be out of my driving range (budget constraints), as a lot of them are west of the Mississippi.
Since many Geneabloggers are also speakers, appear at society meetings, Have you thought about having some way to share these speaking calendars. Recently, Laura Prescott was within a 3 hour drive for me, and would have gone to see here, based on her topic. But, I didn't find out about it soon enough to let me plan.
I don't know if its a good idea or not, but thought I would ask. Based on what I saw from the recent CA Meeting, I am guessing that other Bloggers would travel to see others.
Thanks for listening.
Well we've listened and we think Russ has a great idea. And that's why we've just greated two new features here at GeneaBloggers: a GeneaBloggers Speaker Appearances page as well as a GeneaBloggers Speakers Bureau.
GeneaBloggers Speaker Appearances*
The GeneaBloggers Speaker Appearances page works off the GeneaBloggers calendar listing our various carnivals, memes and other events. It will list the name of the GeneaBlogger member, where they are speaking, the title of the presentation as well as more information on the event.
E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to have your upcoming appearance listed. Include your name, the location of the event, the title of the presentation and any other information which will make it easier for a fellow GeneaBlogger to attend.
GeneaBloggers Speakers Bureau**
In addition to the calendar listing appearances, we thought it might help our members who regularly give presentations to have a snippet of their speaking portfolio listed. The GeneaBloggers Speakers Bureau aims to be a clearing house for those members of GeneaBloggers who want to advertise their availability for speaking engagements. This will also make it easier for genealogical societies, libraries and other organizations who are looking for genealogy and family history speakers.
If you would like your speaking information listed, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com and include your name, location, a link to your blog or website, a list of speaking topics, and a list of presentation titles along with a way to be contacted.
* Speakers are not representing GeneaBloggers during their appearances unless otherwise stated. This calendar is a convenient way for readers and fellow GeneaBloggers members to attend presentations by other GeneaBloggers members.
** The GeneaBloggers Speakers Bureau is a way for GeneaBloggers members to advertise their services as lecturers and speakers. GeneaBloggers does not represent these speakers, unless otherwise noted these speakers do not represent GeneaBloggers while they lecture, and you must contact them directly to engage their services.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - Billions of dollars in Medicaid funding are on the line for Wisconsin. The federal government would give out $12 billion in funding to Wisconsin over a ten year period. That money could mean health insurance coverage for many under the poverty line. But the state may say "no thanks" to the money.
"We don't see this as a partisan bill, this should be a non-partisan issue," says Rep. Dana Wachs (D-91st Assembly District).
Governor Walker will have to decide whether to accept $12 billion in federal funding to help support Badgercare.
"It's a human issue. The impact is absolutely horrendous of folks that have not been adequately insured in terms of healthcare," says Rep. Wachs.
Democrats say the money would allow an extra 211,000 people to get health insurance through Badgercare. People like the Ewings.
"It was back in the fall of 2006 that because our son turned 18, we weren't eligible for Badgercare," Bruce Ewing says. "My wife Diane had diabetes, so we also weren't able to get any insurance from any place else, there was nobody that would take us, because they won't take somebody that's diabetic. Shortly after that she had surgery and lost her first leg, and the bills were over $150,000 and there was no help. Because we owned a farm, we couldn't do anything other than pay the bill, and the only way we could pay the bill was to sell all our assets, so we sold our farm and paid the bill."
The $12 billion in funding would help prevent that kind of thing from happening to other families.
"I think this is a win-win for everybody and it should be a non-partisan issue. There's other Republican governors in Ohio, New Mexico, North Dakota and other places that are opting into this program, and we're very much encouraging Governor Walker to do that," says Rep. Wachs.
But Governor Walker, and state Republicans, are concerned federal government funding might dry up, and the feds might not actually have the money to give out over the next several years.
"While it's an interesting concept, this is not just....'hey, it may be a good idea for a press release today. We want to actually make sure taxpayers are protected for tomorrow," says Assembly Majority Leader Scott Suder (R-69th district).
Governor Walker plans to announce his decision on the Medicaid expansion closer to his budget address on February 20th.

TCU dominates Dogs as part of record setting day
Feb. 22, 2008
MANSFIELD, Texas- Just five days after TCU lost to Fresno State in the championship game in the Best of the West tournament, the Horned Frogs (4-7) exacted their revenge on the Bulldogs (2-2) defeating them 10-5 in a game lasting almost eight hours.
Several records were set or matched for the Frogs including tying their largest point total for a single game, 10 equaling their total against Georgia on Sept. 23. Also TCU's five point margin was the largest in school history, passing its previous best of four in an 8-4 win over Delaware State on Oct. 27 at the Baylor Fall Tournament.
Individually Kindel Huffman earned MVP honors in the Equitation over Fences event with a score of 78. With the honor, Huffman is now the first Frog to earn an MVP in all four events in the same season. With the award, Huffman now has seven totals MVPs this season, also a program best.
The onslaught was set from the beginning as TCU won the Western 7-1, to improve their Western record to a nation's best 10-0. Jessica Bailey, making her first appearance for the Frogs since October, earned MVP honors in the Horsemanship with a score of 74. It marked the second time this season Bailey has received the award.
With the 7-1 victory it marked the largest average margin of victory for the Western team as well. Up to this point, the largest margin of victory was two, set multiple times with the last being against Tennessee-Martin last Saturday at the Best of the West tournament.
The Western team had splits of 3-1 and 4-0 in the Horsemanship and Reining respectively. Freshman Ashton Mickunas won for the second straight time defeating Jillian Tebbe 70-67.5 in the Reining. Another freshman who had an impressive performance was Ashley Aikman. Aikman won her match 73-72 for her third straight victory in Horsemanship.
After the Western events, the team watched the time go by as it waited three hours between divisions en-route to setting a new record for longest game time. Fresno State's Hunt Seat team ran into travel difficulties after playing a morning match against TCU's cross-town rival SMU. The total time for the game after its completion was 7 hours and 30 minutes.
The Hunt Seat team held its own against a Fresno State team that is thought to be in the top-five-tier in the nation. The Frogs fell 4-3, but showed much sign of improvement from just a week ago.
"I really want to emphasize the job done by our Hunt Seat team," Head Coach Gary Reynolds said. "They went up against a very good Fresno State team and held their own. They're really starting to come together."
The Frogs have two weeks off before welcoming in Baylor on March 8. TCU will be looking to make up for their 8-4 loss to Baylor earlier in the season.

text: Today at 7:45pm EST, the Baltimore Ravens will be holding a ring ceremony to commemorate their 2012 Super Bowl victory. Adam Schefter decided to give the NFL world a sneak preview, posting this image early this afternoon. Gathering an early reaction from Ravens fans, it seems they prefer the older ring as opposed to the new one. What's your thoughts? There has been some small chatter on Twitter that the new ring could perhaps be a fake, as the franchise was expected to have a formal ring ceremony to show off their new bling. I guess only time will tell.

Los Lonely Boys Cottonfields and Crossroads is a documentary film about Los Lonely Boys, Tex-Mex blues-rockers from San Angelo, Texas. The 'Cottonfields' part of the title refers to the San Angelo fields where the newly arrived Mexican family picked cotton to support the family. The 'Crossroads" part refers to the many roads taken by the musically adventurous family as they moved from club to club, town to town in an effort to get their music heard.
The Story Line
The story starts with the early family moving from Mexico to San Angelo. From there, a profile of San Angelo depicts the town, then and now, as a background against which the Garza brothers grew both as people and as musicians.
The film then moves on to a portrait of the boys with their father, Ringo Garza, Sr., a musician who first put instruments into their hands and fostered in his sons both a love of music and performance, as they sang back-up with their dad from an early age.
Garza, Sr. moves his sons to Nashville in order to persue his dreams of becoming a country western star. They left behind their mother, sisters and extended family. That first familial break is echoed in the second, as Henry, Jojo and Ringo, Jr. decide to break off and play their own brand of music.
From there, Los Lonely Boys (their name comes from a song their father wrote and sang to them) find success via a record contract, their first album, a Grammy win in 2005 and a subsequent nomination in 2007.
Los Lonely Boys Cottonfields and Crossroads ends with the Garza brothers coming back home to San Angelo, richer by 30 acres of land by the river, reunited with their family, known by the world and looking forward to blue skies and more great music.
Los Lonely Boys Music
Los Lonely Boys' music is often called Tex-Mex or rock-en-espagnol, but it is really much more textured than those labels imply. Heavily laden with blues, guitar stylings remeniscent of Santana and R&B, echoes of the conjunto style music they grew up with and a blatant love of rock all inform a sound that is uniquely their own.
The documentary has lots of live footage of Los Lonely Boys in concert and they stand out as some of the films best moments. The DVD also contains 2 bonus film clips. The first is a performance of "Senorita", the second of "Heaven", both from their 2003 album Los Lonely Boys.
The Bottom Line
Los Lonely Boys released Sacred, their second major album last year. Here's an opportunity to listen to a great band with an original, exciting style.
