Mississippi Madness: The Story of Emmett Till
In December of 1955, just three months after the Emmett Till murder, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the Montgomery city bus. It signified the beginning of the black civil rights movement in America. Over the next two decades, the powerful winds of change swept over America like a storm, wiping out the evil structure of white supremacy in the South. Although the N.A.A.C.P. kept up the pressure on the Department of Justice to bring a federal case against the defendants, they never succeeded.
In an interview with author Juan Williams for the television production, Eyes on the Prize, Congressman Charles Diggs recalled the hate-filled days of the Till trial. "I think the picture in Jet magazine showing Emmett Till's mutilation," he said, "was probably the greatest media product in the last forty or fifty years because that picture stimulated a lot of interest and anger on the part of blacks all over the country."
After the trial, Moses Wright packed up his family and belongings and fled Leflore County in fear of his life. Blacks who reported a crime committed by a white man to the police were not expected to live long in Mississippi. He never went back to the land of his birth and died in 1960. Roy Bryant and his wife returned to their grocery store and tried to resume a normal life. But they found that their black customers refused to do business with them any longer. The store was forced to close. Bryant also discovered that his white friends were very reluctant to give him any assistance whatsoever. Ostracized by his own community and with no job prospects, the Bryants later moved to Texas. They were divorced in 1979. Half-brother J.W. Milam turned to farming after the Till murder. But local blacks refused to work for him and his crops eventually failed. Milam also moved to Texas for a time and labored in construction until he died from cancer in December 1981.
Mamie Till worked as a teacher in Chicago until her retirement in 1978. She became an icon of the civil rights movement and for decades, spoke on the evils of segregation and discrimination. In 2002, Mamie was interviewed for a PBS special on the murder of Emmett Till. Nearly 50 years had passed since the killing, but a mother's pain for the loss of a son was still as fresh as the day it happened. "My eyes were so full of tears, I couldn't see," she said, "and when I made the announcement that Emmett had been found and how he was found, the whole house began to scream and cry. That's when I realized this was load I would have to carry." Just two weeks before the premier of the program, The Murder of Emmett Till, she died in Chicago of heart failure. She was 81.
In his last interview with a radio program in 1989, Roy Bryant had some curious words for the manner in which he was treated. "A lot of people made a bunch of money off of this," he told a National Public Radio reporter, "I ain't never made a damn nickel!" Roy Bryant also died of cancer in 1990.
No one was ever convicted of any charges whatsoever relating to the murder of Emmett Till.

Speedway: Ford regrets Rohan missing out on new Pirates line-up
Updated 9:07am Thursday 9th January 2014 in Sport By Ian Wadley
PIRATES chief Matt Ford is hoping to bring Rohan Tungate back to Wimborne Road in the future – despite being unable to offer him a 2014 place.
Ford admitted his disappointment at rule changes restricting his options and making the Australian prospect a casualty of new team-building regulations.
Tungate made 25 Elite League appearances for Poole in his debut season with the club in 2013 before injury prevented him from featuring in the grand final.
Together with Maciej Janowski, Tungate was one of only two riders to stay in Pirates' declared one-to-seven all year on the back of a series of consistent displays.
But with the limit for teams' top-five riders slashed to 32 points ahead of next season, Ford's plans to retain the 24-year-old were scuppered under the new system.
The Pirates promoter, who has 7.50 points remaining for the final member of Poole's 2014 line-up, told the Daily Echo: "When rules change, it always means that some people, who are loyal to the sport, miss out. I have to say that Rohan is like that to me. He has ridden in Britain for the past couple of years and he has been no trouble to anyone involved in the sport, but the changes make certain people vulnerable. Rohan's average was in that range.
"He came in last season and did himself proud and he was very good for us. If we were selecting a normal seven-man team, I have no doubt he would have lined up for us next year. We had to make changes and, unfortunately, that was one of them."
Ford says he is keen to work with Tungate again as the Aussie ace continues to build his reputation in the sport.
"Rules can change quickly and who knows what we will be looking at in 12 months," added Ford. "He still has time on his side and years ahead of him to make a good name for himself. I would be more than happy if part of that process was with Poole."
- Josh Grajczonek remains on the coattails of the Australian Championship's leaders after securing a 14-point haul in Undera. The Pirates ace, who burst on to the Elite League scene to aid Poole's title success towards the end of last season, qualified for the B final in the second of three meetings.
Grajczonek, 23, cruised to eight points from his first three races but went on to take just one from the final two.
Wimborne Road favourite Chris Holder, who has decided against riding in the UK in 2014, won the event to join another former Poole rider Jason Doyle at the top of the standings.
The imperious top two lead the way with 38 points ahead of the final meeting at Gillman on Saturday. Grajczonek sits joint-fourth alongside Eastbourne's Cameron Woodward on 29 points.

Working or playing outside is a healthy way to enjoy the seasons, but TRICARE wants beneficiaries to be aware of potential tick exposure that could lead to Lyme disease. Knowing the risk factors for Lyme disease can help beneficiaries take precautions to avoid contact with ticks.
Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi, and is spread through the bite of an infected tick, reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It's carried by blacklegged ticks, also known as deer ticks, that get it when they bit infected mice or deer. People are at a greater risk to ticks when doing outdoor activities like gardening, hunting and hiking. Another exposure to ticks can come from pets carrying them. Lyme disease is found in northeastern states from Virginia to Maine, north-central states such as Wisconsin and Minnesota, and the West Coast in Northern California.
According to the National Institutes of Health, there are three stages of Lyme disease. Stage one is called "early localized," meaning the infection is not wide spread throughout the body. Symptoms can include body-wide itching, chills, fever, ill-feeling, headache, fainting spells, muscle pain and stiff neck. The CDC says the most common symptom in stage one is a red, expanding rash called erythema migrans (EM), also known as the "bull's eye," a flat slightly raised red spot at the site of the tick bite.
If untreated, stage two of Lyme disease, also known as "early disseminated", can occur days to weeks to months after the initial bite. Symptoms can include the inability to move some facial muscles, muscle pain, swelling in the knees or large joints and heart problems. Stage three of Lyme disease, called "late disseminated", can occur months to years after the infection when untreated. Most common symptoms during this stage are muscle and joint pain which can be severe.
Diagnosing Lyme disease is based on a combination of signs and symptoms and a history of exposure to ticks. Blood tests can check for antibodies to the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. A short dose of antibiotics are available for people who've been bitten by a tick. People diagnosed with Lyme disease are given a two to four week course of antibiotic treatment. Over the counter medicines, such as ibuprofen, are prescribed to relieve joint stiffness. When diagnosed early antibiotics can cure Lyme disease, but left untreated the disease can spread to the brain, heart and joints.
Taking precautions is the best way to prevent direct contact with ticks. Be mindful of wooded areas, leaf litter, bushy areas and higher grasses. Walk in the center of trails and always check exposed skin, clothing and pets after a walk or hike. Remember to spray skin and clothing with insect repellant before venturing outdoors.
To learn more on Lyme disease go to www.cdc.gov/lyme or the National Health Institutes at http://health.nih.gov/topic/LymeDisease. For more health care information from TRICARE visit www.tricare.mil/coveredservices.

wow, it's been too long since i've updated.
i feel like so much has happened… here's the fairly short version i suppose…
umm i went on a date 2 weeks ago and the guy texted me 2 days later telling me we really hit it off and that he really liked me but bc i couldn't be on top during sex - we couldn't go on a second date. this made me feel like complete disgusting shit. we then spoke about a week later and he told me the whole story. how he's not very big so he's afraid he won't be able to please me and he feared getting into a relationship and getting to the point of having sex, then not being able to please me. he asked me on a second date bc he really likes me… and we're going out on saturday.
therapy on monday went really well. he told me he was proud of me and that i'm doing very well. i really spoke this time and i got so much off of my chest. on a sad note, he gave me 2 weeks to change my number, email, and delete my blog :/ which brings me to my next topic…
6 years ago today, i went for my marriage license and friday would have been 6 years ago since we'd gotten married. we've been talking a lot lately about how we wish we had waited or we wish i had stayed instead of going home etc. and it's made me come up with so many "what ifs?" i realized a few days ago that the reason i try to push him away so much is because i still love him. i mean, who truly stops loving their first love? but yesterday he told me he still loves me too. i think that's why he hasn't let go. i think that's why so many times last year he emailed me just to see how i was. i never replied. i thought i needed him out of my life and to never see or hear from him again. him being by my side through this week has been a godsend. yes it's difficult and it hurts so much but having someone who gets what i'm going through because he went through it too, is that much easier.
i still remember having a fight and taking off my ring and crying so much wanting to break things off. probably something stupid. i don't remember. most likely my insecurities. god i was so fucked up. such a child. but i remember then laying in his huge 4-post bed and we came up with this crazy idea to get married while i was visiting. i thought he was crazy. i thought we had it all - our future, our plans, our marriage, kids, etc. we did - we just jumped too soon. we still love each other. part of me thinks we always will. whether this means we're meant for each other, i don't know. i don't know if i'll ever know lol.
i have way too much i need to write on this subject but i think for now i'm gonna leave it go. it's 10:54pm and if i get into it now, i'll never be able to fall asleep.
so yesterday i started therapy. i went for my first session at 4. we did a 45 minute phone session last week to get a little background info as to what's going on. yesterday was more-less an extension of the get to know me session. i spoke of a lot going on at home, my boss at work, my ex husband, and my recent breakup. he wanted to spend a lot of time on my depression and the medication i am on for it and really wanted to touch base on any suicidal thoughts or anything of the sort.
i feel good about going to therapy. i feel like it's finally a positive outlet to getting things off my chest. he's very supportive of many things i've expressed to him.
i'm truly considering taking Angel up on her offer with allowing me to move in with her. i don't see it as a permanent solution so i would want to move in with her and get myself on a housing list until i'm able to get an apartment. after doing research, the rent is usually 30% of your gross income.
the last few days have been exceptionally difficult for me. saturday night, i was opening up to my bf about everything that's been going on with me and he told me he feels we needed to take a break because he says i have too much going on right now. i don't know how to feel about this. of course i'm hurt. of course i'm pissed. but i don't know what to do. one minute i tell myself that he isn't the one for me and that i'm better off alone but then when i allow myself to get inside my head, i miss him and may want him back. i'm going to give it a week or so, and after therapy tomorrow and some time apart, i'm hoping the answers will come to me. see, and i haven't cried since that night and now that i'm writing about it, tears are forming. i don't want to cry. i don't want to dwell.
enough for now…
1. Understand that loneliness is a feeling, and not necessarily a fact. Sometimes we feel lonely, unwanted or rejected based on wrong beliefs about ourselves. Often people and events acts as triggers for our feelings … and then we start to act as if they represent the truth.
2. Fight the urge…
i go to my therapist for the first time this week… tuesday to be exact. i'm pretty nervous. i'm hoping that it helps significantly and that i'm able to open up freely to him. positive vibes would be awesome! thanks guys :)

For the price point, I was
expecting more. The appetizers were great. The table had Caesar salad, calamari, and the antipasto. All pretty good dishes plus they were good serving sizes. We had the Bolognese, fettuccine alfredo, & the pasta with crab in white sauce (forgot the name). The pasta was fresh and great but all the sauces were lacking flavor. We have all had better. The desert was good though. They were also out of the first wine we ordered. The waiter was nice but didn't seem to fit the price point of this restaurant either. Just seemed a step behind. We also watched an employee set a table after a couple were finished and didn't clean the table. There were bread crumbs we could see from across the aisle. More effort is needed."

The food was excellent. The only
downfall would probably be the service. He wasn't very catering and seemed like he was all over the place even though the restaurant was pretty empty. He didn't recommend any wines for our taste or anything. But overall it's the food that counts and the food was excellent. I recommend the chicken for sure!"
Dined on 8/22/2014
Everything was excellent , oi had
the brick oven roasted chicken it was excellent and we had the baked figs for appetizer and it was delish"
Dined on 8/16/2014
We had an enjoyable time at Zocca.
We had difficulty finding the place as we were visiting San Antonio. It would have been easier to tell us it was located within the hotel as opposed to a street address. WHAT is the hurry in this kitchen? We ordered our appetizers and with in 2 minutes (no exaggeration) it was on the table. Twice we had to tell the server to slow down. I wish they could make us feel special as opposed to just another set of tourist coming for a meal. Then to boot, they did not even acknowledge our OpenTable reservation after we specifically told the hostess we were an OT customer. Why do establishments hire such (super) young staff? Over all, the food was terrific and it's a wonderful place to enjoy."
Dined on 8/13/2014
This place was recommended by our
hotel. I ordered the scallop special. Delish! My husband and daughter had beef tenderloin. Delish! The atmosphere was nice and wine selection was great. Our waiter was very attentive. We would definitely return."
Dined on 8/8/2014
The atmosphere at Zocca's was
romantic with the low lighting and music playing in the background, and the view was beautiful. We dined inside, but the wide glass doors leading to the riverwalk and outdoor seating were open, so I feel like we got the best of both worlds. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing. We shared our pasta dishes (tagliatelle and spaghetti & meatballs) and couldn't decide which we preferred. Also, at the end of the meal they brought us a complementary slice of ganache cake to celebrate our anniversary."
Dined on 8/3/2014
Staff was gracious and
knowledgeable. Andy, our server, was attentive but not intrusive. Food was awesome. Will definitely go to Zocca's again."
Dined on 8/3/2014
The only complaint I have was my
dish ( my dish only, my party enjoyed their food ). I ordered the seafood risotto and risotto was gummy and some parts were undercooked. The flavor was there just that aspect fell a little short. But the server and manager were great at dealing with it, they omitted my dish from my bill. And the chocolate pizza was to die for. The service was excellent !!! The ambience was elegant and contemporary."
Dined on 8/2/2014
Zocca has a gluten-free menu that
is brimming with options - including about six different dessert options!! The server was very knowledgeable about gluten - and they even bring a gluten-free bread basket to the table! Unbelievable! I can't believe that I live in San Antonio and didn't know that this restaurant existed. Thanks to my "Find My Gluten-Free" phone app, I discovered Zocca. I will be back!"
Dined on 8/1/2014
Great food, great ambiance, great
views, and great service. Very romantic atmosphere designed to delight both local San Antonians as well as visitors to the city."
Dined on 7/30/2014
The food was only half the story.
The waiter is the other half. Amazing is the only thing to describe both."
Dined on 7/27/2014
The food was delicious and not too
heavy. The waiter was polite and courteous. The fact that it is located by the riverwalk ups the ambience. Really beautiful! The pappardelle with crab was really good and the tiramisu was sublime! A must go if you're in San Antonio."
Dined on 7/25/2014
If you choose to dine outside
along the Riverwalk, this is a clean well kept section with a nice view without all the packed crowding and noise of the busier section around the corner. Food and service were excellent as always which is why we come back year after year."
Dined on 7/18/2014
This is by far the best restaurant
we've been to in San Antonio. We were in Rome last summer and we thought the food was as good as it is there. I highly recommend this restaurant. We were there for our 13th anniversary so the memory will stay with us forever how good our experience was."
Dined on 7/18/2014
I would suggest going around 8 and
sitting outside on the riverwalk. Much different experience than the usual "riverwalk restaurant""
Dined on 7/12/2014
This was our second time at the
restaurant in about two months. Both times (once as a large family reunion and once as a couple) we received outstanding service and great food. The space has the ability to be separated at one end to allow groups to be separated visually from the rest of the dining area. The entire length of the restaurant has views of the river walk and is great for people watching as you dine. The mood is calm, with low lighting and a quiet noise level. The building materials are high-end stones and tiles. Nicely done. They have a nice wine menu with a variety of price points...and the staff that understands how to pour and keep attentive to re-fill glasses."
Dined on 7/11/2014
Was in San Antonio for business
and thought I would grab lunch at Zocco. So glad I did. Food was phenomenal, but if you go ask for Amanda,probably best service I have had recently."
Dined on 7/11/2014
Absolutely amazing place to
dine! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there on the 4th of July. The waiter brought us 2 complimentary glasses of champagne as soon as we were seated. The food was so delicious that I can't put it in words. After we finished dinner, our waiter said they had complimentary dessert for us, he returned with a yummy piece of chocolate cake on a beautiful platter decorated in chocolate that read Happy Anniversary! The setting was quiet and romantic, the service was great!"
Dined on 7/4/2014
First time to this Zocca & it was
awesome! I will be back!!!"
Dined on 6/27/2014
The atmosphere was great. However,
the entree labeled "sea bass" turned out to be small, somewhat oily filets with the skin on, not the white, flaky sea bass we are used to. My wife could not eat it; too greasy. The seafood risotto I had was okay, but I would rate it only average. In addition, their wines are overpriced. Some of our favorite wines, that we routinely pay $25 to $40 dollars a bottle for were priced at $65 to $80. All in all, a disappointing evening, even though they did not charge us for my wife's entree."
Dined on 6/25/2014
A last minute reservation
presented us with fantastic Italian food just steps from the Riverwalk. The pasta was perfectly al dente with a wonderful Bolognese. My wife has Celiac Disease and the staff was responsive to her needs. Her sea bass was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. You must try Zocca if you crave Italian food!"
Dined on 6/25/2014
As SPG members, we thought the SPG
hotel restaurant would be a great idea. It wasn't. My husband's filet was great. My food, spaghetti, was flavorless. The service was horrible and it appeared that others were getting the same horrible service. Stating you're the #1 Italian restaurant on the riverwalk isn't a big deal when there are only 3."
Dined on 6/21/2014
I had the veal ravioli and it was
delicious. We sat outside, the service was excellent and it was just a very nice evening!"
Dined on 6/19/2014
Food was good, portions ok.
Service was fair. Language issue. Ordered pasta, no one offered grated cheese, lacked a certain high end service."
Dined on 6/17/2014
Service was unbelievably slow. I
was served pizza that was either frozen or made from a pre-made base. They don't make their own dough. Portions were small and overpriced. This place is to avoid."

I was coming to San Antonio for a
business meeting, and my wife hasn't had a vacation in a few years - so we did some budget juggling to allow her to come with me. I wanted the first evening (before my meeting) to be special. Online, I searched the city to find the most highly recommended romantic dining spot. Aha! Found it. Now how far from our hotel? OMG, it's **in** our hotel! A completely happy surprise ... I arranged for flowers to await her at the table and kept my fingers crossed during our flight. Everything was perfect - the food, the ambiance, the service - all flawless. The evening was great! "

Had dinner last night here because
a friend recommended it when I told her we were vacationing in San Antonio. She told us to order the bruschetta and we did and it was so delicious! Probably the best bruschetta I've ever had. I ordered the pappardelle with a glass of Chardonnay and it was fresh and wonderful! Our server was great and everything came out in a timely manner. "

The food is wonderful, service is
outstanding and the atmosphere is the best. Whether you are looking for a romantic evening or want to watch the river walk traffic or a parade on the river this is the restaurant. Have been there several times and have not been disappointed yet."

Great Italian restaurant on the
river walk. I would highly recommend"

This restruant was horrible
compared to the reviews ! The food was not good! I orders sea bass and they brought a fake fish something like a fresh water trout not good, my wife's chicken was burnt and detour. "
Dined on 5/4/2014
We found our food bland and
tasteless. We both had the crab pasta dish. I got two pieces of crab the size of my pinky tip. My husband got much the same. The food was very bland. The salad was good, but the calamari was very tough and cold when it came to the table. I would not go back there. "

We went to Zocca for our
anniversary and enjoyed every bite. The patio doors were open so we had a nice view of the river."
Dined on 4/26/2014
The restaurant is right on the
riverwalk and in a great location. Very clean and upscale professional perspective by all staff. Our waiter was great. Very attentive, courteous and helpful. The food was very good. Tried the tortellini, the pizza, and the filet. All were well prepared and delicious. They did not mind that we wanted to take our time and enjoy the ambience and our meal. Spent a couple of hours between wine and meal. I would recommend this restaurant to any who like good Italian cuisine. "
Dined on 4/25/2014
The food was delicious. My husband
had a pasta dish with lump crab and a lemon cream sauce that was different than a typical Italian dish that was excellent. I had rigatoni with meatballs. The sauce and meatballs were exceptionally good. We both had salads, the Cesar wedge salad and the roasted beet salad, again both very, very good. The servings are large, neither of us could finish. We hated that we were on our way to a concert and couldn't take our leftovers. Raul was our waiter, he gave us excellent service. Friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We will ask for him when we go back. Beautiful location on the Riverwalk. We enjoyed every aspect of our dinner at Zocca. Very highly recommend!"
Dined on 4/22/2014
My dish, pasta with crab in a
lemon sauce, was good but my husband's was fair at best (the risotto with seafood) and overpriced for what it was. We ordered one salad, split, and got two. Etc."

Ate at the bar. Service was great
and the food was very good and at a reasonable price"
Dined on 4/5/2014
We went 4 times in 5 days so you
know we loved it! I am gluten-free and had pancakes and pasta and both were quite good. The food, the view, the location, the service - all worth it. When you go, ask for Raul - not only will you get great service he will throw in a little fun to make your night more enjoyable. Thank you Raul and staff. Next time we visit the Riverwalk, we'll probably come back 4 times again!"
Dined on 3/28/2014
This a great spot on the river
walk with a pleasant setting, attentive service and quiet enough to converse without a lot of background noise. The food was superb. There is a river taxi stop just steps away from the restaurant."

We had a family of 4 gathering
after the 1pm Wicked show on Sunday. So we had an early dinner. Zocca knew about the reason for this special day and they made it even more special. Due to timing, we almost had the place to ourself and it was very good and enjoyable. Would recommend going back."
Dined on 3/23/2014
Lovely location on Riverwalk with
good food and excellent service. Our server Raul was fantastic! Quality far superior to other Riverwalk restaurants."

Zero-G: Synchrom + Anime/Manga news
Further details on Zero-G have surfaced in the April Issue of CoroCoro, with thanks to the WBO for confirmation on some translations.
Final Zero-G System Name
The plastic wheel in the system has finally been titled as the "Crystal Wheel", finally completing the names of each section of the system. The Face Bolt has also been renamed as "Stone Face" and now sports a Octagonal Shape, with Metal Versions representing elements arriving in June.
Zero-G features a new mechanic named "Synchrom". This process involves wheels being switched out, and replaced with opposite types. For example, in the combo Samurai Ifraid W145CF, the Samurai Crystal Wheel can be switched out for the Salamander Chrome Wheel, creating "Salamander Ifraid W145CF". You can alternate these wheels, putting Ifraid underneath Salamander if you wish, creating "Ifraid Salamander". This is considered a Mode Change.
Series Synopsis
The series synopsis has been revealed:
| Zero Kurogane, the new protagonist who looks up to Ginga Hagane and aims to become the strongest Blader, is the No. 1 Blader who remains undefeated on his home turf. In order to test his own strength, Zero arrived at the town where Ginga and his friends were, but Ginga wasn't there and champion Bladers who aim at becoming the strongest Blader of tomorrow had gathered.
Straightaway, Zero starts to battle with them, but he wasn't used to dealing with the Zero-G Stadium, which wasn't in his hometown, so it was a tough fight for him... However, with his natural guts and instinct, Zero understands the walkthrough methods and heads towards victory.
As such, will the champion Bladers stand in Zero's way one after the other?!
—TV Tokyo
The Logo for the anime has been revealed.
Three new characters have been revealed, appearing as friends to Zero Kurogane
- Shinobu Hiryuuin - Owner of Shinobi Salamander SW145SD in the Manga. Fire Element Blader. Seen on the right in the picture, wearing a red coat.
- Kaito Unabara - Eito's sibling. Water Element Blader (TBC). Unclear which he is in the picture.
- Eito Unabara - Kaito's sibling. Water Element Blader (TBC). Unclear which he is in the picture.
Not much news from the Manga. "Zero-G: Chapter One" debuted in CoroCoro. In it, Zero battled Shinobu, and also met a grown-up Kenta Yumiya (seemingly around 17/18), who informed Zero that Gingka is abroad doing "something".
That's all from me for now, stay tuned for the next update.
Happy editing, Keep blading!

An autopsy on an Albany teenager killed this week confirms he was stabbed to death.
Medical examiners determined 19 year old Robert Soilberry died from a single knife wound to his heart.
The man who admits stabbing Soilberry says he did it in self defense when Soilberry tried to rob him as he sat in a car in a driveway in the 1900 block of Barnesdale Way late Tuesday night.
That man has not been charged as the investigation continues.
"You want to look at other things such as telephone records and other circumstances that created this situation," said Dougherty County D.A. Greg Edwards. "We'll look at all of these things and make a determination."
20 year old Aveontae Grier was arrested as Soilberry's accomplice. He's charged with two counts of robbery by force.

Nats' Guzman could stay at shortstop
Washington remains in market for second baseman
If the Nationals are able to sign Orlando Hudson or Adam Kennedy to play second base, Cristian Guzman most likely will remain at shortstop.
The Nationals also could trade Guzman to make room for Ian Desmond at short, but that seems unlikely because it would be difficult for Washington to trade Guzman, who is scheduled to make $8 million this coming season.
Washington had planned to switch Guzman from shortstop to second base because of the lack of range to his right and shoulder surgery he had after the 2009 season. But the Nationals apparently changed their minds as they try hard to acquire Hudson or Kennedy.
General manager Mike Rizzo and manager Jim Riggleman were not available for comment, but Guzman's agent, Stanley King, said his client believes he is a valuable shortstop.
"Cristian has expressed that he is willing to help in any way the Nationals see fit," King said via phone. "He is a Washington National and he would like to make certain that we are all on the same page with what the future holds."
King believes Guzman, 31, will have a better season in 2010 because he will be 100 percent healthy when the season starts. Guzman is already throwing the baseball and is no longer having the bunion problems he had during the second half of the '09 season. King said the foot problems were a major reason Guzman lacked range at shortstop.
"Cristian has something to prove this year because of all the rumblings and grumblings about the way he plays defense," King said. "Nobody has even asked if the ailments or foot issues contributed to his lack of range. It was a question that was missed. I think he will show that he can help the team defensively. He is not a defensive liability. Hopefully, it's a good year for him as well as the Nationals."

New Mobile Devices Are Faster Than Ever
by HuaMarketing on Apr 8th in Gadgets
Mobile phone manufacturers are taking what once used to be a product intended to make and receive phone calls, and turning these mini devices into tiny computers. Modern mobile phones now have the ability to send and receive text messages, take photographs, browse the web, and receive phone calls. In order to perform all these high-tech functions, a mobile phone must contain a product that used to be reserved for computers and laptops, a processor.
A processor is responsible for helping mobile phones perform the numerous functions it performs. Mobile phones are built with tiny, high-speed processors that allow them quickly to surf the web, send text messages, and run applications.
To get an idea of just how fast mobile devices have become here is a look at some examples of new 3G and 4G phones and their processor speeds.
The HTC Sensation
The HTC Sensation was a smartphone that was released in early 2011. The HTC Sensation ran on the Android operating system, and gave users the ability to send text message, browse the web, and listen and download music.
Inside the HTC Sensation was a tiny 1.2 GHz dual-core central processing system. This allowed users to download full length videos and music within seconds. In addition to fast download speed, the tiny high-speed processor gives people the ability to multi-task while using this mobile device.
Nokia Lumia 710
The Nokia Lumia 710 smartphone is one of the fastest mobile devices available on the market. This tiny, handheld device runs on the smaller, more compact version of Windows operating system that is intended for mobile devices. The Nokia Lumia 710 offers users some of the traditional smartphone features such as text messaging, camera, and GPS system, but the most popular feature on this mobile device is the ability to stream live music directly through this smartphone.
The Nokia Lumia 710 features one of the industry's fastest processors. There is a 1.4 GHz processor inside this mobile phone. This extremely fast processor gives this smartphone the ability to run applications smoothly and show graphics with amazing clarity. In addition to the smooth application running and detailed graphics, the processor allows individuals to multi-task while using the phone.
The line between mobile phones and laptop computers is starting to blur. Mobile phone manufacturers are slowly transforming these tiny handheld devices into mini computers by designing them with tiny, compact, and extremely fast processors.

Movie News
The Trailer For David Goyer's THE UNBORN (Not THE UNBOURNE) Is Now Online!!
Merrick here...
MTV has posted the trailer for THE UNBORN, written and directed by David S. Goyer (who served various functions on DARK CITY, BLADE, BATMAN BEGINS and TH DARK KNIGHT) and starring Gary Oldman and CLOVERFIELD's Odette Yustman.
"You'll notice she's on the couch at the beginning of the trailer and she's watching TV. The movie's called 'The Unborn' but when I originally wrote it, it was called 'Born' B-O-R-N," Goyer explained. "And Universal made me change it because anytime we would be on the conference call or something like that people would be confused and think it related to the 'Bourne Identity' movies. So, this happened a bunch of times - like we would be sent the wrong files or wrong contracts or things. So that's how it became 'Unborn,' but it does fit for the movie."
..s.ays Goyer in a posting at MTV, swhich can be viewed HERE.
Here's the trailer via miraculous embed:

I'll give it that it has a lot of cool little visual ideas going on (the weird spider finger things coming through the wall; the old man twisted around). It looks like the movie's plot is just an excuse to throw every idea Goyer had that he thought was scary ever. Fine with me! BLADE TRINITY was so awful though I think I'l wait for reviews...

The Dark Half
by König Lear
The movie adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Half was a little more rooted in psychological horror, and so a little more palatable. (The movie wasn't very good, but it at least had ONE foot in the reality pool.) This just looks...I don't know. It could be diverting, I guess, but when it costs as much as it does to go to the movies, "diverting" doesn't compel my ass into a seat. Gary Oldman, though..

I'd really like to see the quick death of the "Old-film-holds-the-secret/evil spirit" trick. It's an indirect but powerful suggestion that we go watch a movie made better twenty years ago, and I usually do.
Oct. 9, 2008, 4:18 p.m. CST
by Cobbio
I enjoy Goyer's writing, but am wary of his directing after "Blade 3." Obviously, the guy enjoys genre mayhem, wackiness, and violence, so hopefully he put it together for this new film.
 The two things that stick out the most for me about that trailer were:
 a) Odette, a hottie extraordinaire who seems to have some acting chops too, and
 b) The tweaky, old-school, glass-smashing violence.
 A horror movie without rip-roaring violence, aka every J-horror film ever made, loses huge points with me. This new film appears to contain lots of lots of R-rated phantasmagoria.
 So maybe it'll be good. I hope so.

...started talking with the "scary" voice, which means that I watched something liek the first 10 seconds.
 Come on, this is one of the lamest cliches ever! I don't wanna see shit like that anymore. Maybe this movie turns out to be the fucking greatest thing ever, but it totally lost me because of that fucking scary kid cliche.

screw US-ONLY releases on the INTERNET...

F#$Ken learn the meaning and the intent of the word: INTERNET.... if you want to release only in the US, then make copies and snailmail them to your US friends... here is a hirez version: http://www.sendspace.com/file/b4e0db
Oct. 9, 2008, 5:02 p.m. CST
Wow, I'm genuinely surprised...
by SilentP
...that people actually seem to be liking this trailer. Are you serious? That looks *awful*. The stupid little kid going "He wants to be born now" (horror writers... little kids aren't scary anymore. it's over. they're just annoying now. let it go.). Or "Is it possible to be haunted by someone... who wasn't EVEN BORN!?!?!" Like, what? Why would that be any more fantastic than being haunted by someone period? Only some of the visual imagery in this was worthwhile. Like the old guy twisting his head. Though it's not like that kind of thing has never been done before either.
Oct. 9, 2008, 5:06 p.m. CST
Oh oh
by SilentP
and the scene where the blanket comes off her and the kid is feeling her up or something. That was also pretty terrible. Seriously, this looks good to people? I am honestly baffled. Especially considering how much the talkbackers here seem to immediately hate everything, how does *this* look good to you? It does not compute.
Oct. 9, 2008, 5:13 p.m. CST
I'm Oz and I can watch it no problems

And holy shit that is the best horror trailer I think I have ever seen! This just shot up to number 4 on my must see list!

by Womb2dooM
That was playing through my head as soon as the reveal came about what's haunting her.
She's really hot by the way. She's almost Jessica Alba hot, if Jessica Alba had a fatal foetus nubbin on her Milkior!

Horror cliche checklist
by skimn
Evil spooky kid...check (practically every other horror film from the past twenty years)
Little person in raincoat holding knife...check (has no one here seen Don't Look Now?)
Exorcist scene...check (There have been so many exorcism movies lately I'm expecting "Exorcism At Denny's")
spiderwalk person...check (Hello, Exorcist?)
dog w/face...check (mentioned earlier with Body Snatchers)
Of course they mention the Batman connection, but wasn't Goyer's previous film The Invisible...
Oct. 9, 2008, 5:32 p.m. CST

Sorta with Quint
by Neosamurai85
but the child actor looks terrible. When he hit her, I actually laughed, and much like Silent Hill (which it is clearly ripping off), it feels like one of those annoying misses where so much is right, but what's wrong is too much. Still Love me some Gary. Side note: anyone else feel that The Dark was really underrated in this new genre of "trying to do Silent Hill better than Silent Hill?"

Why they try to make Idris Elba look evil?

Sheeeeeeeeee-it.
 This looks like kind of absolute shit that dumb teenagers guarantee a 20 mil opening weekend.

Having trouble thinking of another bad one, though. Jade, that's going pretty far back, and was not that bad. Oldman was good at least "hmph, that makes us practically related"

ROMEO IS BLEEDING. Criminally overlooked. Great performance by Oldman, Lena Olin is weirdly sexy, etc. My favorite Oldman movie is still DRACULA, though.

Am I the only person unimpressed?
by MurderMostFowl
That trailer ( and probably the movie ) was absolutely formulaic... boy... never say that last segment of the trailer coming... nosiree. It's alot to read into a trailer, but I'm willing to go out on a ledge here and say the characters will all be one dimensional and the backstory on why "he" is the way he is will be weak, and the heroine will "win" in the end by shear coincidence. This whole film reeks of "wannabe" Exorcist, Ring, 6th sense & Poltergeist. ( and I got an odd vibe for Flatliners watching that too. )
Oct. 9, 2008, 7:49 p.m. CST
Is this a remake of a J-Horror film?
by NoCalFlicks
Because if it isn't it looks like another re-tread of every J-horror flick made over the past 10 years or so. Look, the trailer had some creepy moments, which can't be denied, but the last thing I want to see is another J-horror retread that revolves around a "damaged soul of a dead child that just wants some kind of justice before it moves on to the afterlife"
Oct. 9, 2008, 7:58 p.m. CST
by fartedinthefaceofhollywood
it has some slick production values, they certainly didn't skimp on it...but it still looks like all the rest of the super-natural horror films out there.

Oh... and MICHAEL BAY. My attention has been acquired.
YAY all the haters are here...lol....pretty silly actually to hate when this actually looks good and ain't a REMAKE which is so rare nowadays. And to some who said they will wait for reviews...really? you let a review make up your mind? you let someone else tell you whats good? wow that a brainless idea no wonder people hate everything on this site.

Re: Horror cliches
by skimn
"So if something has been done ONCE before, it's cliche?! " No, not really. There is really nothing truly new anymore. It depends on the details, and of course, the story elements. The Orphanage played with familiar horror elements, but the story, and images, lifted it from the ordinary. It's just that the trailer played like a checklist of horror imagery that has been around for years.
Oct. 10, 2008, 12:51 p.m. CST

Alexis Perry wasn't going to let a little rain bother her Saturday afternoon.
The N.C. State sophomore from Durham completed her double at the Raleigh Relays, running the 100-meter hurdles in a personal-best 13.39 seconds to add another win to her long jump that broke the Wolfpack school record Friday.
A graduate of Durham Jordan and former News & Observer prep female athlete of the year, Perry finished just ahead of West Virginia's Chene Townsend (13.59) on Saturday. The next four hurdlers were all at 13.73 or faster.
Perry had finished best among all qualifiers with a 13.55 on Friday night, the same day she won the long jump with a leap of 21 feet, 2 inches. The jump bested Karimah Shepherd's 21-11/4 mark set last year.
"I came out with a goal in mind, and that was to keep the first-place spot," Perry said of her hurdle run. "I just knew if I pushed out and cranked up my speed at hurdle seven through the end that I would do what I came out here to do.
"The start is very, very important. When I don't come out of the blocks, I usually have to play catch-up and that costs me a few seconds. You can always see the people who are right next to you out of the side of your eye. I was trying to watch out for that and make sure I couldn't see anybody."
Perry, who has been hurdling since seventh grade and was MVP at both 4A indoor and outdoor meets in 2012, said her personal breakfast of champions is French toast and Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Minis.
"And I try to take my time during warmups, so I'm not sitting around for an hour not doing anything," she said.
Perry, who was a gold medalist in the hurdles at the Junior PanAm Games last year, said winning Saturday's wet hurdle race was particularly sweet after what she had done Friday.
"The long jump record was great," Perry said. "I hadn't done it in a while. I was coming off an injury before ACCs, so I hadn't long-jumped as often as I'd have liked to, so I was very, very surprised and happy yesterday."
Wolfpack jump coach Chris Coleman said he is impressed with Perry's athletic ability and her attention to detail on technique.
"She's very talented," Coleman said. "She can run and jump and can do a lot of events for us. She can do throws, she can do the long jump, high jump, hurdles and sprints.
"She's a good hurdler and just learning how to sprint. She has naturally good technique, and technique is the biggest thing. Her sprinting and her running mechanics are getting better."
N.C. State coach Rollie Geiger said Perry, who has been ACC All-Academic in both outdoor and indoor seasons, is a major asset to the team in general.
"Her double was huge," Geiger said. "Alexis is one of our cornerstones. She was a high scorer for us indoors, and she's carrying that level of competition outdoors. The marks she has are good enough to get into the regional championships in Jacksonville (Fla.) in May, and they take the top 12 to the national championships.
"We always kind of looked at her as a hurdler-long jumper-high jumper. That long jump mark may have been better than the hurdles, but they're both great marks. She's quite an athlete – a great athlete. And a terrific student and a terrific person."

To sart I will list the rules of the league starting with the batters: Hit=.5 pts, BB=.5 pts, Single=1 pt, DBL=2 pts, Triple=3 pts, HR=4 pts, SO= -.5 pts, SB=1 pt, Run=1 pt, RBI=1 pt, CYC=11 pts, HBP=.5 pts.
Pitching: IP=1.5 pts, Win=5 pts, Save=3 pts, K=1 pt, BB= -.5 pts, Hold=1 pt, No Hitter=10 pts, ER= -1pt, L= -5pts, Blown Save= -1pt, Hit= -.5pt, Shut out= 5pts, Quality Start= 5pts, Perfect Game= 10pts.
This is the 1st season of our 2 season keeper. This year we keep 1 player and next year we keep 2 players. This season I kept Giancarlo Stanton from my team last year (Between Stanton, Bautista, and Price). We start: C,1b,2b,3b,SS,4OF,2DH,P,3RP,6SP.... Can have a total of 10 SP on your team. I am going to list my team, I would like feedback but I would like this question and approach answered and evaluated by you Fantasy Baseball studs. My approach was to draft young and talented in hopes of producing 2 Keepers for next year that are top 10 fantasy players next year, so I can go all in and really stack a team for a championship run. I would love to win it this year, but I'm not sure my core is at their peak quite yet. So after lookin at this roser, 1 do you like my approach? If not what would you suggest as far as waiver wire or trade proposals, 2 which 2 players do you think should/could be my keepers next year and 3 is my team any good? Thank for looking and I appreciate ant feedbck. This is my 4th year playing. I have never finished 1st but I hav finished 2nd twice and 3rd twice. I will gladly evlaluate your team and give my advice as well. Here is my team:
C: Matt Weiters Bal/ Mike Napoli Bos 1B: Anthony Rizzo CHC/ Mike Napoli Bos 2B: Rickie Weeks Mil/ 3B: Will Middlebrooks Bos/ Trevor Plouffe Min SS: Jose Reyes Tor/ Zach Cozart Cin OF: Giancarlo Stanton Mia/ Ryan Ludwick Cin OF: Bryce Harper Wash OF: Jason Heyward Atl OF: Dexter Fowler Col DH: Carl Crawford LAD DH: Mike Napoli Bos SP: Stephen Strasburg Wash SP: Chris Sale CWS SP: Kris Medlen Atl SP: James Shields KC SP: Max Scherzer Det SP: Brandon Morrow Tor SP: Matt Garza CHC SP: Josh Beckett LAD SP: Jason Hamme Bal RP: Joe Hanrahan Bos RP: John Axford Mil RP: Brandon League LAD
Next year, I'm hoping 2 of; Stanton, Harper, Strasburg, Sale, Heyward and Medlen are in an if not close to top 10 fantasy players in the game. After adding the QS stat to our league, I think Sale and Shields can wind up being huge fantasy SP. Thanks for reading and I'm looking forward to readng you comments. Have a nice day.

In Canada, Fretting Over Foreign Takeovers
By IAN AUSTEN
Published: May 29, 2007
A recent series of acquisitions of Canadian corporations has prompted a growing public debate over foreign control.
First came the recent takeovers of the mining giant Inco, the steel maker Dofasco and the Hudson's Bay Company, the retailer established long before Canada itself. The prospect that Alcan of Montreal might go to Alcoa of the United States and that a group including American private equity firms might acquire Bell Canada's parent company has intensified the controversy.
On Monday, in the latest sign that the takeovers had become a growing political issue, the opposition Liberal Party said that it wanted to freeze foreign takeovers of Canadian companies for three months to allow a review of investment laws.
''The Conservative government should immediately review the rules governing foreign takeovers to better promote both global champions and the fair treatment of Canadian companies,'' the leader of the Liberal Party, St?ane Dion, told a news conference.
The Liberals are not alone. Some prominent executives have expressed concern that Canada is losing its dominance in industries like mining.
Among the critics is Ian W. Delaney, executive chairman of the mining company Sherritt International, who told The Globe and Mail, a Toronto newspaper, last week that London had replaced Toronto and Vancouver, British Columbia, as his industry's hub.
Peter Munk, founder and chairman of Barrick Gold in Toronto, has warned that an exodus of head offices to other countries will cause, among other things, lower levels of charitable donations and fewer opportunities for skilled workers. Gordon Nixon, chief executive of the Royal Bank of Canada, has also raised the issue.
''I sometimes worry that we may all wake up one day and find that as a nation, we have lost control of our affairs,'' Dominic D'Alessandro, the president and chief executive of Manulife Financial, told shareholders on May 3.
Unlike some other executives, Mr. D'Alessandro, whose company's holdings include John Hancock in the United States, has suggested broadening the sectors covered by foreign ownership limits. Canada's current restrictions on foreign control are largely limited to financial services, transportation, broadcasting and telecommunications companies.
In 1973 the Liberals, under Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, introduced a Foreign Investment Review Act that tried to minimize foreign control of the economy.
But that move was unpopular with much of the business community, and a Conservative government passed legislation in 1985 creating a review body, Investment Canada. It is believed not to have turned down a single takeover since then, although it does not publicly disclose information about decisions.
John McCallum, the Liberals' finance critic and a former chief economist of the Royal Bank, said Canadian companies should have the same protection from takeovers that other governments provide their corporations.
He noted that if Alcan tries a reverse takeover of Alcoa, a step the Canadian company has said it might take, it will encounter laws in Alcoa's home state of Pennsylvania intended to block takeovers.
Speaking at a news conference in Toronto, Jim Flaherty, the Conservative government's finance minister, rejected Mr. Dion's proposal.
''Well, I wonder what they'd say to Canadian companies that are acquiring businesses abroad,'' Mr. Flaherty said. ''Would we have a three-month moratorium on Canadian companies like Thomson Corporation acquiring companies like Reuters in a transaction worth more than $17 billion in the United Kingdom?''

Blizzard's patch 1.0.3 for Diablo 3 restricts anyone who buys a digital copy of the game to play the Starter Edition for up to 72 hours, limiting them to play only Act 1 to the Skeleton King, and only to level 13. While the restrictions themselves aren't a bug, the limitation to Act 1 and level 13 is an "unintended consequence" and will be corrected in another update "as soon as possible," Blizzard tells Eurogamer.
Access to the complete game will remain limited for digital purchasers, a move that Blizzard says is "to help ensure the integrity of the game and auction house service." Blizzard uses the wait time to verify payment on digital-game purchases, and most transactions are verified and the restrictions lifted within a day, but this process can take up to 72 hours.
"Similar to World of Warcraft, these restrictions were put in place to deter credit card fraud, which in turn helps reduce gold spam and other harmful activities that can have a negative impact on the game experience for everyone," Blizzard says.
Below find the complete, intended list of initially restricted actions for digital purchases:

1. Tennessee will be this year's Michigan. You all recall what happened to the Wolverines in their first year under Rich Rodriguez. Expect the same thing to happen to the Volunteers under Lane Kiffin, only more so, for two reasons. First of all, there is absolutely no evidence at this point to suggest that Coach Kiffin fils is on a par with Coach Rodriguez . . . or even that he's anything other than Mike Shula dressed in dreamsickle orange. Secondly, when you tick off that many of your colleagues in your first few weeks on the job, you're going to get your comeuppance more than once, and it will be ugly. By mid-October, the Big Orange message boards will be ablaze with the rhetorical question, "For this we fired a national championship-winning U.T. alum?"Don't Make Me Break Your National Championship Trophy with My Behind: Notes on the 2009 Preseason Top 25 - Dawg Sports

Mississippi State at Tennessee: Does anybody else remember what life was like a little over a year ago, back when Phillip Fulmer had more job security than Sylvester Croom and both head coaches were glad David Cutcliffe no longer had an Oxford mailing address? My, how times have changed. Now, the guillotining of Tony Franklin and Tommy Bowden at other orange-drenched programs has the Volunteer Navy smelling blood in the water as the faithful head down the Tennessee River to Knoxville, where the wagons are being circled---I mean that metaphorically, but they probably could do it literally if pressed---and the buzzards soon will follow suit. I expect that a good 50 per cent of what comes though Coach Fulmer's headset this weekend will be Dave Clawson saying, "Boy, firing their offensive coordinator at midseason sure didn't work out well for Auburn, did it? Say, did you know I went 29-29 as the head coach at Fordham? Pretty cool, huh? I don't think I ever told you this, but I actually played defensive back in college, but here I am coaching offense! Wild, huh? I went to Williams College, you know. Yeah, the Ephs play Division III football, but don't let that New England Small College Athletic Conference affiliation fool you; Williams participates in Division I skiing and squash, mister! Yeah, I am so fired, aren't I?" However, even in Tennessee's present state of disarray, there's just too much talent on hand in Knoxville for me to believe that the Volunteers will lose to the lesser breed of Bulldog.Don't Bet On It!: Around the S.E.C. - Dawg Sports

A 16-year-old boy was shot early yesterday morning in Allentown when a man opened fire from his car after apparently mistaking the youth for someone he had fought less than an hour earlier, police and a witness said.
Police arrested Barry Lee Kaintz two blocks from the Gordon Street and Ridge Avenue scene minutes after the shooting.
Jerome Daniels, whom Kaintz apparently intended to shoot, said he saw James Bartley take the bullets meant for him.
"I saw the car pull up, the hand come out the window and fire shots," Daniels said. "I saw James fall down and heard him yelling, then I ran onto the porch and saw the car speed off."

Dog Helps Save Philly Toddler From Roof
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A toddler who climbed out a second-story window onto the porch roof of his family's row house was followed by his dog, whose barks alerted neighbors who rescued the child.
Phillip Redmond Jr., who will be 2 years old next month, apparently climbed out of a broken bedroom window Sunday and scampered across the narrow porch rooftops of at least eight homes, neighbors said.
The row homes have connected porch roofs; neighbors heard barking and saw the boy running from roof to roof followed by the family's German shepherd, Alfie.
"He was following the baby across," neighbor Tina Mitchell told WPVI-TV. "He was protecting the baby, making sure the baby was all right."
A neighbor, Shavyonn Robinson, was able to grab the toddler from the porch roof of a home a few doors down. The footprints of Phillip and Alfie could be seen in the blacktop coating on the porch roofs.
"First I had my hand sticking out (of the window) trying to grab him," she said. "That's when he tried to run past, because he thought I was playing with him, and he almost fell so I had to go out and get him."
Police questioned the toddler's parents, Phillip Redmond and Katie Berkelback, but no charges have been filed. Child welfare officials placed the boy in the care of relatives while the incident is investigated, said the boy's father, adding that he was embarrassed but grateful that his son was fine.
"It was my fault," he said. "I didn't think he could get out there."
