4th Round maybe? Scott, you know he can be a great one -- would be it be far fetch for you to grab him late 3rd? You guys be the judge. As for me, I love for him to be a Kansas City Chiefs so bad! I see him as a Zach Thomas kind of player. Always have a nose for the football. For those who still think his size will not be good at the next level - what about London Fletcher? Zach Thomas? Derrick Brooks? Keith Bulluck?
WalterFootball Draft Diary of Tank Carder
What I like about this kid is his pure love for the game of football and the tenacity he brings to the field… ALSO doesn't hurt when he's got THAT MOTOR like Tamba… never stops til the whistle blows. This guy have had to overcome major adversity at a young age. He possesses very high football IQ as well.

Arrowhead Addict Mock Draft has KC drafting Carder in the 5th Round
5th Round- 146. Kansas City Chiefs: ILB Tank Carder (TCU)
I can't even believe Carder is ranked this low. Just watch 2 minutes of his game tape against Wisconsin… and you know I love their linemen… but you'll see several harder hits than any of the hits Luke Kuechly dishes in 30 minutes of his game tape. Carder was MVP of this game (the Rose Bowl). What I really like about Carder, besides his hard hitting is, he's always coming forward.
Some scouting notes of Carder in 2011
- Is perhaps the best pure tackler in the nation. When Carder is on a ball carrier, the play is typically over. He's a good form tackler and doesn't stop until the play is over.
- Always seems to be around the ball, which is a testament to Carder's anticipation (natural football instincts)
- In the run game, Carder can get washed out at times because he's not strong enough to consistently shed blocks.
- Is a relentless linebacker who keeps playing with effort even when knocked down or held up on a block.
- Does some of the play calling before the snap and routinely coordinates with the TCU secondary (football IQ)
- Has been used at times firing off the edge on the blitz. Has a decent first step, but will probably never be a dynamic pass rusher at the next level.

Students at the University of North Carolina were in for a surprise Wednesday morning – the head of the Duke University mascot mounted on a spike in front the UNC Student Stores.
The image rocketed around Twitter Wednesday as the big game between the Blue Devils and Tar Heels in Cameron Indoor Stadium approached. And while the long rivalry between the two has seen plenty of antics, Wednesday's prank was unprecedented.
Alayne Rusnak, the head of Duke's cheerleaders and mascots, confirmed the school was looking for the lost Devil head.
"I can't talk a lot about it," she said. "We are trying to report and recover that."
John Gorsuch, director of the UNC Student Stores, confirmed the mascot head was found when the bookstore opened at 7:30 a.m. He said it was immediately taken down and stored in a manager's office.
"We have it in a manager's office, locked up," he said.
By Wednesday evening, a little more than three hours before tip-off, the head was back at Duke.
The head was made to look like it had been severed when it appeared on the UNC campus, facing The Pit.
Asked if he thought it was the Devils' mascot, he said, "It looks really, really real. It has the screen over the eyes."

Africare News In Brief
Mans and Sachs Discuss Development Partnership in Mozambique
Africare's President, Dr. Darius Mans, and the Earth Institute's Dr. Jeffrey Sachs traveled to Mozambique Jan 8-15, 2011 to discuss a possible partnership to support the Mozambican Government 's efforts to assist communities along the Nacala transportation corridor in the northern part of the country. During their trip, Mans and Sachs met with key government officials and other important stakeholders, including former Mozambican President Chissano.
In the past few years, a number of large mining investments have been developed in northern Mozambique which is expected to lead to significant economic development along the Nacala corridor in Nampula Province. Thus, a focus of both the Government of Mozambique and the mining companies has been to ensure that mining investments and its associated infrastructure are accompanied by community-level development to ensure that the citizens of these areas benefit from the economic growth in their region.
Africare, a long-time development partner in Mozambique, is well-placed to support these activities. Currently, Africare is implementing a food security project in partnership with Save the Children in Nampula province, the goal of which is to improve agricultural productivity, diversify crops, reduce child malnutrition, and improve sanitation and hygiene practices. The emphasis on women in this program is particularly noteworthy as mothers' groups are formed and trained to implement many of these interventions. Africare's efforts to date on this project have benefited nearly 70,000 people in Nampula.
The focus of the possible Africare-Earth Institute partnership will be to identify opportunities to improve the livelihoods of communities living around economic development areas such as the Nacala corridor, taking advantage of Africare's experience in implementing rural development projects in Mozambique, and the Government of Mozambique and the Earth Institute's experience with integrated development through their Millennium Village projects. Support for these communities would be provided by assisting farmers to form cooperatives, helping those cooperatives improve agriculture production, and connecting cooperatives to markets and financial services. Investments in water, sanitation, public health, and education will also be considered for inclusion in the partnership. The proposed partnership would also place specific emphasis on women and children, including improving child nutrition.
In addition to its current work in Nampula province, Africare is currently implementing a USAID-funded project in Manica province to strengthen the capacity of local governments and community organizations to respond to the HIV/AIDS crisis in the region. Through training and the provision of grants, Africare is helping these organizations to provide home-based care to support people living with HIV/AIDS, assist orphans and vulnerable children of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and train communities in methods to prevent mother-to-child transmission of the virus.

Heard At Meetings
"The elevator to sobriety is broken....you need to take a cab instead."
"The elevator to sobriety is broken. Please use the steps...................
I found this comment amusing. it brought a chuckle. I find so little to smile about these days. Take a taxi to a meeting. I had never heard this one. Hopefully you will find sobriety there. But not always. Anonymous
Take a cab? This makes no sense whatsoever.
What is the difference between God and me? God never thinks he's me.
Johanne H.
I love that and it is so true. One of my favorites is I'm just another bozo on the bus that God drives!

that is so true
Service work is the difference between intellectually believing in God and actively seeking his will !
Dear God,
I promise I'll never do it again if you just get me out of this one.
This is what I call a 'fox hole' prayer.
It never works.
I must accept the fact that I AM an alcoholic.
don't drink between feelings
...or AT meetings; all other times are optional.
"Quit telling your God how big your problems are, and start telling your problems how big your God is"
i really enjoyed your comment
Amen brother!!!
AA is like the Mob if you leave, you're dead!
that comment seems so doom and gloom on it's surface, but it's the truth. For us to drink is to die. Period. Thanks for your humor too!
Tonight at my home group, I heard something that I had heard a million times...but this time with a great caveat...
"God will never give me more than I can handle...but life will, which is why I need God."
I heard the definition of psychopath out of the dictionary at a meeting the other day and if your truelly an alcoholic thats how we were, my dictionary does'nt have the word in it or I would share it, but look it up you will be amazed at least our whole group could relate and it made us all feel alot better and made us feel even closer to eachother and that we really do need AA. Ejoy Jules
repeatedly doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. that means a.a. members have this problem, when they know what the first drink will lead to trouble but continue to do so. that is why thank my hirer power the fellowship and the understanding of somber a.a. members who showed me the way to a better life by not lifting the first drink for one day and your life can only improve
After confirming with the designated point of contact and volunteering at a district sponsored event, the area committee chair later said, "You can't just show up".
Showing up is better than not showing up. "Bring the body and the mind will follow". "We came, we came to, we came to believe." Once the mind catches up to the body, some action will be a good idea too. Into Action, that's how it works!
so suit up and show up.
At my home group last night, I heard someone say that their sponsor's short version of the 3rd Step is "Get in the car!"
Jon W
A sober member was 17 years since his last drink! He was going on a 12 step call. He invited a young boy who was 17 WEEKS since his last drink.
The young boy says, "You are 17 years since your last drink and I am only 17 weeks since my last drink, what good will I be to this man we are about to visit.
The 17 year sober man said, "You will do great. You are 17 weeks since your last drink, he will find it easier to identify with you. Because you were last at the scene of the accident!!!"
Very funny comment, Jon W. In the area of NY where I got sober, it was preceded by SHUT UP (and get in the car). Worked for me!

Many years in the making, Arbuckle Industries yesterday released the official trailer of their long-awaited film, Archiculture. The brainchild of architecture graduates and filmmakers Ian Harris and David Krantz, the Archiculture trailer screened for the first time–in near final form–during Public Interest Design Week. The actual film will be 25 minutes in length, and has its world premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival, in Newport, Calif., on April 29, 2013; if you're in the area, we highly recommend attending.
Archiculture takes a thoughtful, yet critical look at the architectural studio. The film offers a unique glimpse into the world of studio-based, design education through the eyes of a group of students finishing their final design projects. Interviews with leading professionals, historians and educators help create crucial dialog around the key issues faced by this unique teaching methodology.

New York's celebrated High Line earned more coverage in yesterday's New York Times article, "Cities See the Other Side of the Tracks," yet again as a model others are inspired to replicate in part or whole. Friends of the High Line also announced that the first comprehensive book on the project is due out this October.
But for those that have yet to walk the rails and trails, absolutely one of the best and most immersive overviews, of Section 2 in particular, is a newly-posted video (above), produced for ARCHITECT Magazine by the Brooklyn-based outfit of Arbuckle Industries. The video uniquely captures the sights and sounds of this improbable green walkway in the sky, which meanders through Manhattan. It features Friends of the High Line Co-Founder Robert Hammond, NYC Planning Commission Chair & City Planning Director Amanda Burden, landscape architects James Corner and Lisa Switkin of Field Operations, and architect Ric Scofidio of diller scofidio + renfro.
P.S. Ian Harris and David Krantz of Arbuckle Industries are already well known in design circles for their up-and-coming archiCULTURE film. The film remains in the works and due out shortly, with the company busy with lots of other film projects. So stay tuned.

I know even mentioning Canzano on Bedge tends to bring out a ton of hostility from some people. However, I wouldn't be referencing his piece if I didn't agree with his message. How about trying to read what he wrote and forgetting who wrote it?
Canzano is saying what a lot of us around here have been saying in recent months. Try not to kill the messenger-another common practice on Bedge. Check out some of the responses, as well. I'm increasingly finding the comparison between Allen's approach to the Seahawks and the Blazers to be fascinating. Maybe it all does come down to Allen feeling he knows enough about basketball to run the Blazers without a full and competent FO. Well, he's wrong about that. I don't know who Pete Carrol's equivalent in the basketball world would be. I'm no fan of Carrol, but right now I'd love to have someone like him on the Blazer bench. I doubt Allen would dare try to operate the Seahawks without a GM.
Canzano says the Allen seems dis-interested and may be leaning toward selling the team. I've been saying that for quite awhile here. Don't know, it's just a feeling, but a feeling that's getting stronger every day. Complete lack of communication and passion are not good signs in my book.
On the brighter side, the right kind of a new owner, if a sale actually takes place, could be a huge shot in the arm to this franchise and town.

Services Offered
Traditional (and gentle!) Chiropractic Adjusting
Joints and muscles always work as a unit. Because I use many different techniques to relax, stretch, and balance muscles my chiropractic adjustments encounter much less joint resistance. Therefore the adjustments can be gentle, more effective, and hold their effect with greater longevity and consistency. And, when you are consistent with your home exercise program, adjustments become even less necessary and less frequent. The whole point of my therapeutic approach is to have fewer and fewer appointments as therapy progresses, and perform adjustments LESS, not more!
Deep Tissue Massage (myofascial and trigger point release)
While I was attending chiropractic and naturopathic colleges in the early 1980s I received specialized training and became a licensed massage therapist in the state of Oregon. I use various hands-on soft tissue techniques that help to decrease muscle congestion, tension, and spasm and improve circulation. These techniques are crucial to the goal of muscle balancing, which reduces stress and strain on joints (ligaments, cartilage, disks, etc.). I use these techniques in virtually every session in one way or another. In combination with a customized home exercise program, herbal and homeopathic therapies and other modalities, focused soft tissue work can be extremely effective.
Rehabilitative and Maintenance Home Exercise Programs
The effectiveness of any office-based therapy is greatly enhanced by the individualized prescription of home exercises. Because we accumulate tension and strain during the course of our daily lives we should also try to be consistent about performing daily exercise that helps to reduce or eliminate this accumulation. It is a high priority for me to provide such a customized program for patients. This program can be incorporated with whatever current program of exercise you are already involved with. (Please refer to the Forms section of this website to get an idea of the range of exercises I show to people.)
Nutritional Supplementation and Dietary Counseling
As part of my training in naturopathic and chiropractic colleges I received advanced education in the targeted use of nutritional supplements. These natural substances can be useful for acute or chronic conditions — not only for musculoskeletal problems but also for improved digestion, insomnia, fatigue, headaches, and a host of other issues. I can examine the quality of the supplements you are already taking (like multivitamin/mineral products) and make suggestions for improved or more appropriate products. If you want to receive the full benefits of this service while being my chiropractic patient please refer to the tab for Nutritional Wellness Consulting for more information. Non-chiropractic patients can also receive this service.
Herbal Medicine
As with nutritional therapy, I received training in naturopathic college for herbal medicine. I use herbs in various forms (capsules, liquids, creams, plasters) to augment and complement the effects of manual therapies, low level laser therapy, etc.
Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
Craniosacral therapy is a sophisticated form of manual therapy originally developed by osteopathic physicians that can have a subtle and profound effect on your whole body, especially the neuromusculoskeletal system. It is well-documented that our skull and sacrum actually pulsate rhythmically at 10–12 cycles per minute. As your head and sacrum subtly move they exert a pumping motion, allowing precious cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) produced in the brain to be circulated throughout the whole spinal column. The CSF is what provides nutrition to the spinal cord (the central nervous system), so an inadequate level of circulation there can literally affect every cell in your body. CST can evaluate the quality of this pumping motion and then very gentle corrective pressure is used to improve that quality. CST can be helpful for headache, fatigue, nervousness, insomnia, tinnitus, and other conditions.
CST also includes the use of an extremely low-force technique for soft tissue release called fascial unwinding. It is well-known that certain kinds of acute and chronic injuries are more responsive to very gentle touch compared with more traditional forms of massage.
Low-Level Laser Therapy ("cold laser")
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is not anything like the high intensity laser therapy that is currently being used for many different kinds of surgery. LLLT is extremely safe and no injury (including eye injury) has been reported in the medical literature. Just as plants use the process of photosynthesis to convert the sun's light energy into biochemical energy inside its cells, so do human cells have a similar ability — they are able to convert the light energy emitted by LLLT into energy inside our cells. And the better the cells in a particular tissue function the more efficiently that tissue is able to heal. Think of LLLT as a localized and focused energy supplement for injured tissue. I use LLLT for the enhanced repair of tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and joints involved with conditions such as tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, and other kinds of acute and chronic injuries.
Foot Orthotics (foot/ankle examination and therapy)
Think of your feet and ankles as the foundation of a house. Like a foundation your feet support the weight of your whole body. If the foundation of a house is partially collapsed the structural strain that results gets passed upward to the whole building. In the same way foot/ankle problems like flat feet and ankle pronation/supination can cause problems anywhere in the body: knees, hips, low back, mid-back, neck, and jaw. Part of every initial examination includes an analysis of your foot/ankle structure. When indicated, I advise the use of exercises, generic arch supports (store bought), or custom foot orthotics that are manufactured by a specialized laboratory I've used for 25 years.
Physiotherapy (ultrasound, microcurrent, interferential electrical stimulation)
These are adjunctive therapies that are used in combination with deep tissue massage, exercises, and gentle adjustments. They are used to release muscle tension and spasm, decrease pain and tissue congestion, and improve the quality and efficiency of tissue healing. Physical therapists frequently use these therapies in their practice.
Homeopathy is a type of natural medicine that is over two centuries old. It is widely used all over the world but is somewhat less known in this country. Plants, minerals, and/or animal extracts are used in very diluted quantities to enhance and encourage your innate physical and mental healing capabilities. Side effects are nearly nonexistent and they rarely (if ever) interfere with other medications you might be taking. I use homeopathy to treat acute problems (not limited to musculoskeletal). I do not practice classical constitutional homeopathy.
Bach Flower Prescribing
Bach Flower therapy was developed by Edward Bach, MD, in the 1920s and 1930s in England. Dr. Bach was a medical intuitive who was able to walk through a meadow of flowers and feel the emotional influence each one had on his body, mind, and soul. Bach Flowers work to promote healing on an emotional, soul, and spiritual level. When properly prescribed they work in a very subtle manner to encourage and support the natural process of emotional and spiritual healing. Dr. Bach developed a repertoire of 38 flowers with indications for the use of each one. The prescribing practice involves an open-ended, free flowing conversation where I do 98% of the listening and you do 98% of the talking. Based on our conversation I will then create a combination of flower remedies that you take orally a few times a day. Subsequent conversations can help to further the healing/growth process if needed.
Auricular Therapy (stimulation of ear reflex points)
You may be familiar with foot reflexology: that's where the therapist presses on different points on your foot, and each local area on the foot has a relationship with a particular area or organ of the body. There is a system of acupuncture that treats all the meridians only with points located on the hands. Auriculotherapy has been developed over the past 50 years, mostly by French and Chinese practitioners. Individual points on the ear have been found to influence the function of particular tissues and organs in the body, and a detailed map of the ear has been developed to guide practitioners of this young healing art.

As for your fashion week related posts turning into essays, I must say, I couldn't be happier about that happening! Reading these pieces truly feels like experiencing fashion week in a much more personal matter, dare I say – as much as you can call such narratives 'personal' Your wit and humor takes fashion week to a level which one can more easily relate to, in contrast with the editorial reviews (ranging from exceptional to very poor, unfortunately) we're accustomed to.
Can't wait for day 3, 4 and so on!

West is making progress. New houses are being built and soon you'll see new schools and streets, but long-term mental health effects can't be repaired as quickly.
Psychologists and social workers say it's crucial those people get help now, especially now that it's six months after the disaster. Area psychologists who are working closely with survivors are starting to see them with disorder's like post traumatic stress, and these mental effects are normal to have.
"I can't emphasize how important it is to at least seek out an opinion," Dr. Katy Sharp said. "If family members are willing to help with that, that always helps."
PTSD isn't the only problem. Psychologists also see anger, depression and anxiety. Even symptoms that don't seem alarming like headaches.
"The actual diagnosis of PTSD, there are criteria that you have to meet, but you can still have anxiety disorder, depressive or trauma response or symptoms of it without meeting a full criteria," said Sharp.
One challenge counselors and social workers face is convincing people to get help, especially when the holidays roll around. Baylor professor and social worker, Dr. James Ellor, has been involved with West since the day after the explosion.
"Reaching out at this time becomes much more crucial," Ellor said. "One has to remember somewhere around 15 families, somebody that they really care about isn't going to be there at Christmas or Thanksgiving."
But Ellor says there are three things that will help the community get on it's feet.
"One thing is, it's a very friendly town. It's a community that will embrace folks like that," Ellor said. "Two, it's a community of faith and three it's a community that connects well and supports each other."
A symposium will be held for anyone who may be experiencing PTSD symptoms. Several veterans who cope with the disorder everyday will be talking about how they get through it. They invite anyone to come, even veterans.
The symposium will be Saturday, November 2nd at St. Mary's Catholic Church in West at 11am.

Don't let a little thing like back-to-back losses to Jose Aldo (UFC 129) and Chan Sung Jung (UFC 140) fool you, Mark Hominick is still one of the best fighters in the promotion's 145-pound division.
Just ask him, he'll tell you.
"The Machine" was unplugged by "The Korean Zombie" in just seven seconds last December following a failed bid to capture "Junior's" featherweight belt in front of a hometown crowd in Toronto; however, prior to his recent troubles, the Canadian was able to string together five straight wins with four finishes.
Can he start the streak anew at UFC 145?
That's where he'll take on rugged veteran Eddie Yagin, and as he tells the Winnipeg Free Press, his April 21 bout at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, is going to remind everyone that he's "still one of the best in the division."
Those comments, after the jump.
"I'm reminding them that I'm still one of the best in this division. I didn't even watch [the Jung loss] again ... I fought out of character, came out so reckless and aggressive and I paid the price. It's weird that after 10 years fighting professionally you have to learn a beginner lesson but that's what happened in that fight. Fighting out of character you sometimes have to pay the price. It's weird because I almost have to sell (Yagin's) credibility. This guy's been in the sport longer than me. ... He came up in the Hawaii-based promotion and he was a headliner over there. And he's fought a lot of tough guys over the years. He's never shied away from taking tough competition. He's got a dangerous overhand right and he's got a really good guillotine. So it's a fight. This is no easy task. But I'm trained, ready, ready to take him out."
Yagin (15-5) came up short in his Octagon debut, losing on points to Raphael Assuncao at UFC 135 last September. Prior to that, the "Filipino Phenom" won seven of eight fights with six stoppages. He's clearly got the goods to make this thing a fight.
But can he pull off the upset?

Case Study - Hobby
Tony Fletcher
Tony Fletcher has been involved with Bits From Bytes since the early days both with machine design and working on the firmware for the RapMan. For many years he has also had a wish to build and fly his own radio controlled helicopter. Previously the kits were very expensive, the parts were bulky and the machines were difficult to fly.
"After being shown the small PicoZ helicopters my interest was renewed and I decided to see if I could print parts for one of the 450 clone kits. They are electric powered complete with a small solid state gyro. The project has started with a design of the rotor head, if that works then there will be more parts to follow."
"I used my RapMan to print the parts in yellow ABS which has adequate strength to take the loads likely to be involved. The beauty of this approach is the flexibility to trial a design, print it out, analyse it and refine the part all at extremely low cost. It is also possible to post finish parts if required although in this case a little light sanding is all I have done."
"The RapMan has worked out to be a very versatile machine on which I can produce a great range of parts."
Tony plans to replace all the plastic components on the helicopter with printed parts and you can follow his progress on our blog.

WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University women's lacrosse squad (8-7, 5-1 BIG EAST) will close out the regular season at the University of Cincinnati (6-10, 0-6 BIG EAST) on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. Georgetown has already clinched the second seed in the BIG EAST Tournament which will be held May 1 and 3 in Washington, D.C., at Multi-Sport Field.
On Thursday, women's lacrosse put together a big 13-2 victory over the Villanova University Wildcats at home.
Washington, D.C.
Hoyas Explode for 19 Straight Goals to Down Cincinnati
Georgetown University's No. 8/8 women's lacrosse team (6-2; 1-0) found itself behind 3-2 against Cincinnati (4-3; 0-1) before exploding for 19 unanswered goals and a 21-3 win. It was the conference opener for both squads and Georgetown recorded its largest margin of victory ever in a BIG EAST matchup and tied its second largest victory margin ever only behind a 23-2 win against Wilson in 1980.
Georgetown outshot Villanova, 25-15, and had 13 draw controls to the Wildcats' four. The Hoyas had an 11-0 run to start the game, spanning the entire first half and into the second.
On Saturday, the Hoyas tallied a 13-6 victory over the Temple Owls. Additionally, Georgetown Head Coach Ricky Fried became the winningest coach in program history with 114 victories in 10 seasons on the Hilltop.
Sophomore attacker Corinne Etchison (Eldersburg, Md./McDonogh School) led the way tying her career high with four goals and one assist. After scoring her first two goals of the season in the game prior, sophomore midfielder Kristen Bandos (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Academy of Notre Dame of Namur) doubled that with four goals on the afternoon.
Senior defender Adrianne Devine (Loudonville, N.Y./Shaker) led the defense with four caused turnovers and five ground balls, while sophomore midfielder Kelsey Perselay (Chatham, N.J./Chatham) had six draw controls in the contest. Senior goalkeeper Barb Black (Ruxton, Md./St. Paul's School for Girls) took the win in the cage with three saves, while Fisher added five saves for the game.
Georgetown outshot Temple, 31-20, and had 13 draw controls to TU's eight.
Etchison was named to the BIG EAST Honor Roll on Tuesday. She had five goals and three assists for the week.
Senior midfielder Kelyn Freedman (Newtown Square, Pa./Radnor) leads the squad in scoring with 36 points on 29 goals and seven assists. Etchison is second, and Tarzian is third with 34 and 33 points, respectively. Etchison has 21 goals and a squad-high 13 assists, while Tarzian has tallied 22 goals and a team-best 11 assists.
Senior attacker Reilly Woodman (Alexandria, Va./St. Stephen's and St. Agnes) has pulled in a squad-best 40 draw controls, while Devine has posted 26 caused turnovers.
Fisher has tallied 57 saves in 15 games played.
Cincinnati dropped a 17-6 decision to the University of Connecticut on Saturday afternoon at the Sheakley Athletics Center. The Bearcats got a pair of goals each from Courtney Curtis and Michelle Platz, while Dani Tunnell registered a goal and an assist.
Kelsey Conway had a pair of helpers, while Sarah Del Bene scored a goal and Ashley Helmrath contributed an assist.
Georgetown is 5-0 all-time against the Bearcats with all five meetings occurring in BIG EAST Conference play. The Hoyas won 21-3 last season at Multi-Sport Field and 22-4 in the last meeting on the road on April 5, 2012.
The opening draw is scheduled for 2 p.m. Live stats and a webcast will be available through www.GUHoyas.com.

This is bogus number. I got a message from them regarding a card I don't even have. Tell me that's legit number from AA Fraud unit. Don't even see any post from AA validating that here either. Would your bank call you and ask for your card number? Wake up, please!

+1 800-824-9289 Phone Call Reports
I recently made three different purchases with a few thousand dollars each. Then I got an email from this fraud unit, telling me to call this number. I did. All I needed to do was to enter my card number and then say yes to the most recent three purchase amount the machine announced. Yes, this is an American Express phone Number.
This is a legit American Express Fraud unit phone #. I received 2 calls from them and then checked my account. They wanted to know if a purchase made for fuel was me. Said yes and that was it.
I got a call today from this number 1-800-824-9289, google and found this thread. (At the time, my card won't allow me to purchase stuff online, the retail site told me to call my credit card company or use another card). As far as my experience go, this particular number is legit. Within 5 minutes of machine answering, and conversation with a representative, they lifted my flags (caused by a $1 charge from another online retail). And when I questioned if this call was legit, the female representative said I could call the back of my card to validate this call. I did not call american express because I was able to place the order right after.
Supposedly AMEX, I dont have an AMEX. Hit 0 like 10 times to get an agent...told them I didn;t have an AMEX and they started asking me for personal information. Could be AMEX but I highly doubt it, be careful with this one...
Stephen is a liar. This number is NOT listed on their website. I just checked. This is a scam. Do not give them your info.

As this was an 800 number I did not answer it when they phoned. But, with calls morning and evening I called the number and they also said they were American Express and wanted my card # and information. I called the number on the back of my card and I have no activity on my account and owe nothing.
This is supposedly American Express Fraud Unit. Many are receiving calls from this #, or via e-mail prompting AMEX members to call as there is questionable transactions on the the account. I recently received calls from this # and decided to contact AMEX directly. I work in Law Enforcement, trust no e-mail; my motto. AMEX stated they were unfamiliar with the 800 number and there were no security alerts attached to my card as I haven't made a purchase on it in 6 months. So, beware
Thats strange, i recieved the same call from the same number about my account. I called up amex on my card and they verified the number is their fraud unit and i did have pending charges that wer not mine.
I too received an email today from amex. I called the number on my card and confirmed that there were fraudulent charges pending on my account. I also see that number listed in their website.

National Defense:
Information on Options for Naval Surface Fire Support
GAO-05-39R: Published: Nov 19, 2004. Publicly Released: Dec 3, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3519
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Land-, air-, and sea-based components form the "fires triad" that is used to support Marine Corps amphibious assault operations. The sea-based part of the fires triad is referred to as Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS). The retirement of the last Iowa class battleship left a void in the NSFS part of the fires triad. To field a replacement NSFS capability, the Navy developed a two-phased plan in 1994. In the near-term to midterm, it would modify the capability of 5-inch guns on existing destroyers and cruisers, and develop extended-range guided munitions for the modified 5-inch gun. In the far term, it would field a sufficient number of new destroyers fitted with an even-longerrange advanced gun system and ultimately a very-long-range electromagnetic gun or "Rail Gun." However, in 1996, congressional authorizers became concerned that the Navy would not be able to produce a replacement NSFS capability comparable to the battleships until well into the twenty-first century. In that year's Defense Authorization Act, the Congress directed the Secretary of the Navy to restore at least two Iowa class battleships to the naval vessel registry until a capability was developed equal to or greater than that provided by the battleships. By 1999 the Navy had placed the Iowa and Wisconsin battleships back on the naval vessel registry and has been maintaining them in an inactive state since then. In recent years, the Navy's efforts to develop a NSFS replacement capability have not progressed as quickly as planned. Given concerns about the gap in NSFS capability, the Chairman, Subcommittee on Projection Forces House Committee on Armed Services requested that we review (1) the validated requirements for NSFS, (2) the estimated cost and schedule for reactivating and modernizing two Iowa class battleships to provide NSFS, and (3) the status of Navy efforts to develop a replacement NSFS capability.
The Navy and Marine Corps have only recently begun the process to establish validated NSFS requirements that address the overall capabilities needed and the balance between different systems that will be required to provide effective, continuous, and sustaining support fire for forces operating ashore. Validated requirements for some specific systems have been established, however. The cost and schedule for reactivating and modernizing two Iowa class battleships have not been fully developed. However, the Navy believes that reactivation of the battleships should not be pursued for a number of reasons. These include, among other things, manpower requirements and modernization needed to integrate the battleships into today's modern Navy. Therefore, the Navy has no plans to conduct the detailed studies needed to identify the full extent of needs and costs. The Navy's fielding of a replacement NSFS capability has been delayed. The near-term and midterm efforts to extend the range of munitions fired from the 5-inch guns on its cruisers and destroyers have been delayed from 2001 to possibly as late as 2011, but other program options have been discussed including the option of canceling or reducing the extended-range munitions program to fund development of another gun system. Far-term plans to help fill the NSFS gap by 2015 using a new destroyer with advanced gun systems were revised in 2001 to employ a different destroyer concept--the DD (X). The Navy currently expects sufficient numbers of DD (X) destroyers to be ready to help fill the NSFS gap by 2018 at the earliest.

PASADENA, Calif. Ś The makers of TVÆs ōSherlockö say even a lobbying effort by British Prime Minister David Cameron wouldnÆt persuade them to produce more episodes each season.
But ōSherlockö co-creator Steven Moffat and producer Sue Vertue tweaked Cameron anyway for lack of effort. ItÆs been more than a month, they noted, since he visited China and was asked by fans there to press for more of the popular mystery series.
He praised the drama and told Chinese viewers who submitted the request to him online that he would try. But Cameron has yet to contact them, Vertue said this week.
A droll Moffat added: ōDavid Cameron, calling you on that, mate. ģ All of China, theyÆre waiting.ö
The British-produced modern take on Arthur Conan DoyleÆs fictional detective has been a worldwide hit. It made its third season U.S. debut last Sunday on PBS, with husband-and-wife team Moffat and Vertue and star Benedict Cumberbatch on hand to promote it.
Fans have to make do with just a handful of episodes Ś three this season Ś as the showÆs in-demand makers and cast, including Martin Freeman and newcomer (and FreemanÆs real-life partner) Amanda Abbington, see to other projects. That includes the ōDoctor Whoö series for Moffat, ōThe Hobbitö franchise for Freeman and a string of films for Cumberbatch.
ōNo, itÆs a waste of time, sorry, China,ö Moffat replied when asked if ōSherlockö might be expanded to more episodes. The nine that have aired since 2010 are the equivalent of cranking out nine movies, he and Vertue said.
But why apologize to the Chinese and not devotees elsewhere?
ōWell, China were the ones who went to the top and asked,ö Moffat said.
He and Cumberbatch, who said he appreciated the fervor of fans, agreed they are committed to keeping ōSherlockö going indefinitely.

LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN (WXOW)-- After the guilty verdict, News 19 spoke with members of Kristen Rodgers' family and the prosecutor.
"The trial went about how we expected," said Tim Gruenke, the La Crosse County District Attorney. "It really wasn't that controversial. We put it in pretty cleanly from both sides, and we got the verdict we wanted."
The jury heard three days of testimony and deliberated for less than three hours before reaching a verdict. And while it was a relatively short trial, the six months since 35-year-old Kristen Rodgers was found strangled to death in an alley, have dragged by for her family
"One day at a time, you know, like anything," said Dwayne Rodgers, Kristen's husband. "You know, take it as the day comes. Some gonna be better than others. Just gotta keep living."
Dwayne says he's happy with the verdict but it can't bring his wife back.
"I'm relieved," Dwayne said. "The court system did its job. The police did their job."
Kristen's mother, Kathy, sobbed as the judge read the verdict, and says the end of the trial is a relief, but doesn't provide closure.
"Closure, I hate the word," said Kathy Tabbert. "Closure of what? My daughter's not here. I'll never forget her."
Kristen's family and friends will still face Golatt one more time on November 16, when he is sentenced. Golatt's conviction of first degree intentional homicide carries a mandatory life sentence.
We did reach out the defense attorneys, Allen Beatty and Eric Sanford, but both declined to comment.

The wife of Jesse Jackson Jr. says the longtime Illinois congressman is suffering from depression that has been "debilitating" and even caused him to collapse at their home in Washington.
Chicago City Council member Sandi Jackson also told the Chicago Sun-Times that her husband did not attempt suicide and was not being treated for alcohol or drug addiction.
Jackson has been on a secretive leave of absence for nearly eight weeks. Throughout that time, his office has released little information and only revealed his whereabouts a week ago, when Jackson was transferred to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
Sandi Jackson's interview, posted Saturday on the newspaper's website, provided the most detail yet, revealing that his depression may be linked to earlier weight-loss surgery.

Let's face it Phillies fans. Ruben Amaro has given us a team filled with fools gold. It's long been known, "those who have the gold… rule". We need to make at least one big move, and several other smaller key moves to rule the kingdom of Baseball once again.
Big Move: We have to make a splash in this market, but most importantly, we have to do it in a smart fashion. We need to go after one specific big fish in the starting pitching market. Why a starting pitcher? The old adage "pitching wins world series" is just true in baseball. There's one move, and one move only that can make a big splash like that. That's to sign this Japanese pitcher, Tanaka. The guy is suppose to be a legit number two starer, with number one potential. Throw this guy into our mix, and we once again have a big three: Lee, Hamels, Tanaka. With any luck this Cuban Gonzalez kid turns out to be a true three/four, and we let Kendricks and Pettibone fight it out for the with spot. Two reasons this signing makes complete sense for the Phils. One, we don't loose a draft pick. Two, we should be able to lock this guy down for 10 to 12 million/5 years toward our salary cap. Which is doesn't cripple us financially now, or for the future. Also, this move will give us some wiggle room to make some other moves which we really need. I know were going to have to spend another 60 million a year just to talk to the guy. But, it's not toward our cap number, so what do we really care. Sixty million now, to keep attendance up to where it use to be will yield that money back twofold. Plus, we're going to be getting an additional 100 million dollars a year from our new tv contract. So, were not going to be financially strapped. The best part about this move is it instantly makes us competitive. That makes my mouth salivate.
Calculated Risk Move: Unfortunately, for some reason our front office doesn't want to just spend, spend, spend like the Yankees seem to do. So, we need to make some low risk, high reward type investments. Let's take a chance on Grady Sizemore. Give him a one year incentive based deal. I know he's a lefty and hasn't played in two years, but when he was healthy, he was the best centerfielder in the game. If he can come back to anywhere close to that. We have a player who can take over in center field and be a game changer.That's a risk I'd like to take. Plus, it should be an inexpensive risk, that we can dump if it doesn't work out. Why this move? I don't like having a guy with no power in centerfield. I don't care how many bases he steals. Regardless, If they make this move or not. We need to do something about our center fielder. I have a quick alternate solution. I would put Marlyn Byrd in center, and let Darin Ruf man right. Ruf will gives u an instant 20 home runs and hit 250. That's what we need in this lineup to be successful, right handed power. We also need Byrd to have a similar year to last year to make this outfield competitive. Which, I'm quite confident he won't be able to do. Look for less then 15 dingers out of him. In doing this, Revere is still going to see 400 at bats any way. Because, Ruf, is going to be playing some at first for Howard. Dominic Brown seems to get hurt every year as well, and Byrd is just old. So, he's gonna need some time off as well. I know we're going to suffer defensively. But, if you look at the overall numbers, having the extra power over the better defense is going to give us more wins. The last I checked, that's our objective.
Relief help:We have some good young arms. But, we need some veteran help as well. Not sure if Mike Adams will be back, and more importantly, if his back will be back. So, here's what I would like to do. I'd like to take a low risk, high reward gamble on Ryan Madson. He's been out for two years, but is still relatively young for a reliever at 33, and I've always loved him. Offer him a one year incentive based deal. If he bounces back, we have one of the best set up men in the game for a steal. If not, we can at least reminisce to his lights out pitching in 2008. I think we still need to get one other non risk reliever. I liked, Edward Mujica, from St. Louis, but he's off the table. So, I like Francisco Rodriguez/Chris Perez. Both have good track records in set up roles and will bring the kind of veteran stopper we need at the back end of this bullpen.
Lastly, let's see what Mikael Franco looks like this spring. I like Cody Ashe, but he doesn't have that super star appeal that Franco has. Imagine being able to interject 20 home runs at the third base in this lineup. Who knows what this kid really is, but wouldn't that be great. That would instantly make this a very viable offense.
Here's what we look like with these moves. A much more balanced lineup, with some real pop. I'm putting my projections for this lineup for next year with this lineup.
Jimmy Rollins, 2014 Projection: Avg 250, 12hr, 20sb, 40 RBI
Chase Utely, 2014 Projection: AvG,265, 16hr, 65RBI, 9sb

The Evolution of the "One China" Concept in the Process of Taiwan's Democratization
AbstractThis paper investigates how Taiwan's "one China" concept evolved during the democratization process that occurred under the leadership of former President Lee Teng-hui. The author argues that there was a crucial evolution of the "one China" concept and that the transformation of the concept resulted from changes in Taiwan's internal political circumstances. The evolution of the concept creates a real possibility that the "status quo" sought by the ROC in the Taiwan Strait both during and after the Cold War might be destroyed. In addition, any further evolution of the "one China" concept will surely make the "status quo" of Taiwan untenable, in that it would induce Taiwan to seek de jure instead of de facto independence, possibly initiating a conflict between the PRC and the ROC. To prevent such a conflict in the Taiwan Strait, the international community must persuade the ROC not to go beyond the "status quo" and to stay within the framework of de facto independence. At the same time, both the PRC and the ROC should be urged to maintain an open conduit of communication for productive talks on the reunification of China.
