Ok............Mark Derosa is a Cardinal. Not exactly where we wanted him to go but so be it. He's a nice addition for them but NOT a huge difference maker. This team is 3.5 games out with alot of season left and we have Soriano and Bradley performing at career worst levels. Obviously that has to change and the law of averages says it likely will. Aram's return is close..............so I don't think a bat is the most pressing need as long as he and Sori and Gameboard perform anywhere near career average
14........count em.......14 last at bat losses in less than half a season is ridiculous! Jimbo's only hope is to go get a couple of guys to help the bullpen. Even if our hitters were hitting like they should and we were in 1st........we would be in for another playoff meltdown with this mess of a pen. Who's out there and available? IMO.....we need a loogy and a decent setup guy. Time for Jim hendry to atone for his blunders!

Gov. Quinn signs bill that adds seizure conditions to medical cannabis program
Gov. Pat Quinn signed SB 2636 into law on July 13, adding seizure conditions to the list of qualifying medical conditions for medical cannabis for both minors and adults. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Iris Martinez and Rep. Lou Lang, was overwhelmingly approved by both the House and Senate.
In addition, three bills were presented to lawmakers this year that would either remove or reduce criminal penalties for those found in possession of up to 30 grams of cannabis. HB 5708 would not only allow people to avoid arrest or jail time, but it would also completely eliminate any criminal record — which can hurt employment, housing, public assistance, and educational opportunities. Two other bills, HB 4299 and HB 4091, would significantly lower penalties and allow people to avoid arrest or jail, but would still leave individuals with damaging criminal records. All three bills have been kept active and may be considered later this year.
For a detailed analysis of how a criminal record can have far-reaching effects for Illinois residents, check out our report, Marked for Life: Collateral Sanctions Associated with Marijuana Offenses in Illinois. For a new report on how a patchwork of local decriminalization laws are being implemented, or in some cases, aren't being implemented, check out this report from Roosevelt University. Please also ask your legislators to support imposing a civil fine on cannabis possession.
Meanwhile, Rep. Kelly Cassidy is fostering a conversation about broader reform. She introduced HB 6270, which would create a Cannabis Legalization Task Force to examine issues related to cannabis legalization and develop legislation to tax and regulate marijuana for adults 21 and over in Illinois.
Medical marijuana implementation, possible expansion moving forward
Illinois' new medical marijuana law went into effect on January 1, and the Department of Public Health, Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, and the Department of Agriculture have already issued draft agency rules for their oversight of the patient registry. Those rules were recently approved and can be implemented soon. Some patients will be able to begin applying in August or September. A quick summary of the new law is here, with a more detailed analysis here. A two-page analysis designed specifically for prospective patients to share with physicians is also available for download. The state established a webpage to keep followers informed on the latest updates and copies of the different agencies' draft rules. The page also offers the ability for individuals to sign up for email notifications on progress.
Illinois arrests tens of thousands of marijuana users each year
Despite the new medical marijuana law, Illinois' marijuana penalties remain harsh, and the state has the fifth highest arrest rate for marijuana possession in the nation. Penalties range from jail sentences of up to 30 days and a fine of up to $1,500 for possession of less than 2.5 grams of marijuana (about one-tenth of an ounce) to upwards of three years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines for possession of more than 30 grams. A study by the ACLU found that there were nearly 50,000 marijuana possession arrests in Illinois in 2010, and despite similar marijuana use rates, blacks are 7.6 times as likely to be arrested for marijuana possession in Illinois as whites. Meanwhile, 75% of Chicago murders went unsolved in 2012. Some cities provide relief to Illinois' high penalties by giving officers the option to cite offenders and punish possession of small amounts with a fine only. In June 2012, Chicago joined that list when Mayor Emmanuel approved an ordinance allowing officers to cite those in possession of 15 grams or less. Violators in the Windy City face fines of $200-500 if they are charged under city — not state — law. Results of these programs are mixed, however, and the law is not being applied equally around the state according to the Roosevelt University report.
If you were arrested for the possession of a modest amount of marijuana and might be interested in speaking out, please email email@example.com.

Ice may be out on lake, but it left damage in Meredith
Public Works Director Michael Faller said the last two posts on two of the docks were damaged by ice last Wednesday night and into Thursday.
It's happened before, Faller said, recalling similar damage in 2007.
The problem occurs when the wind blows the ice remaining on the lake up against the docks. "The wind has to be blowing in a certain direction, and the ice conditions have to be just right, and then it rolls in on the docks," he said. "It's a luck-of-the-draw kind of thing."
Faller said it will take a few weeks to repair the damage, but he hopes to have the docks ready for summer boat traffic.
The town will file a request for a permit with the Department of Environmental Services for the repair, and then will put the project out for bids to local marine construction contractors.
The project will likely cost several thousand dollars, he said. It will involve removing the pilings at the end of the docks and sinking new ones into the lake bottom.
The town has taped off the end of the affected docks to prevent people from using them. At this time of year, the docks are sometimes used by anglers.
"It's unsafe there right now. It'll be a few weeks before it's safe again," Faller said.

When we mentioned the call for proposals by the people behind the 33 1/3 series, in which a book is given over to an album (sometimes with great results), it seemed like quite a few of you were considering sending something in. I was wondering this morning (after re-reading my really poor treatment for Michael W. Smith's Go West Young Man) if any of you out there actually got around to finishing a proposal, and if so, what album you decided to focus on. No one can steal your idea now, right? [33 1/3 blog]
In Which We Wonder If Any Of You Actually Followed Through On Those 33 1/3 Pitches
Your problem, Dan, is that you re-read your treatment.
I'm choosing to ignore mine entirely, thereby avoiding the self-doubt stage.
(And, no, I'm not telling. You never know, next round of submissions is, what, 2010?)
Aw, dammit. Missed it entirely.
I kept thinking really seriously about sending a pitch right down to the last day, but ultimately I flaked out due to a combination of procrastination, holiday burnout, and inability to narrow down from the 4 or 5 albums I was seriously considering. Maybe next time.
As Mr. Gibson probably already knows, I got my proposal sent in a while ago. It was a book on the Pulp album Different Class. I won't go into details about it right now. I'm holding out hope that they actually like the idea and will want to publish it, and, yes, I don't want to jinx it.
my proposal was sent in, focusing on Waylon Jennings' "Honky Tonk Heroes." We'll see if it makes the cut.
I wrote one too, which I sent in on Wednesday. I spent two months thinking about all the things I wanted to say about the Pet Shop Boys' Very but then went with a different album at the last minute. I'm sure I have no chance, but, you know, whatever. (Which was after a month of debating about Playing With A Different Sex/Elastica/Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts/This Is Hardcore/Excerpts From The Love Circus/The It Girl/Solitude Standing/Sunny Border Blue/every other album I've ever liked ever.)
I was overwhelmed with self-doubt throughout writing my proposal but I'm really glad I sent one in. For me, the hardest part was reading some really great stuff by people that have already written 33 1/3 books (if I read Amanda Petrusich's tour diary on Americana before writing my proposal, it would have stayed in my head).
Mine was on Annie's Anniemal, for what that's worth.
I'd been playing with a concept for months and months now, seesawing between making it a 33 1/3 book pitch and something to write with the intention of getting it published elsewhere (or self-published). Too much's been happening over the last 2-3 months for me to pull a proposal together, so Option 2 it is, and I'm happier that way, honestly. Less pressure.
Mine will be, if I ever find time to write it, about Metal Machine Music. And as written it will make way more sense to readers than a book proposal pitch would. Somehow I just KNOW this.
There goes my idea – an Elliott Smith selection is already in the works (but on XO; I would have done Either/Or or Basement on a Hill)
I sent in my proposal on De La Soul is Dead about 6 hours before the deadline. But i did send it in.
Radiohead's Kid A was my choice. We'll see.
I wrote one up for Spiderland…
I did one for Give Up. I'm looking forward to my first ever rejection letter.
Well, I mean rejection letter about writing, I've got rejection letters from chicks before.
My finishing touches on my Beck Odelay proposal got in the way of writing some zingers for my Pazz & Jop ballot, but I did get the chili (and the vegetarian chili) cooked for the New Year's party. Two outta three ain't bad.
I had such grand plans for my proposal(s). Did I do them? Nope. There's always next year, I guess!
No. I wrote one, but didn't send it in, because I thought the commercial appeal for a book on Barafundle by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci would be severely limited.
I submitted a pitch for a book on Pavement's "Slanted and Enchanted" two years ago since it was the closest thing to a "classic album" created by a band near the Sacramento area where I live. I got in contact with ex-drummer/engineer Gary Young and most of the band via Matador's media office, I was ready to interview the hell out of them. And then the 33 1/3 folks decided to have another writer tackle Pavement. It was a letdown but I'm still happy to see that a few of my colleagues submitted successful pitches.
@lecherousfrenchman: you really went for it. pulp, this is hardcore: world-class band struggles with their own limitations in the harsh face of stardom. i like what i'm hearing…
I sat this one out, but I did pitch Traffic's John Barleycorn Must Die in the previous open call, in 2007. I think they dinged it cos I wanted to have a 24-page pull-out comics section in the middle.
I have a friend who writes alien-abduction stories and Bible prophecies for a newspaper tabloid; he keeps saying we should collaborate on a freeform Surrealist response to Camper Van Beethoven's Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart, but somehow we've never managed to get a proposal put together.
I sent one in for Pussy Galore's Exile on Main Street. I figured if I'm going to go out on a limb, I may as well jump.
One of the many things I didn't get around to last month. It was a toss up between Mclusky Do Dallas and Journey's Greatest Hits.
@Jack Fear: I'd read that! I submitted one for Key Lime Pie a couple years ago (even going so far as to contact the band and producer to secure tentative interviews), but no go. Didn't even know about this one till after the deadline.

A ballroom dancer who lost her left foot in the Boston bombing wants to step back on the dance floor again.
Adrianne Haslet-Davis remembers standing four feet away from the second bomb.
The blast knocked her into the air. She says she hit the ground, and when she looked down, part of her foot was gone.
Doctors had no choice but to amputate the rest.
Now, she has big plans after her recovery.
"I absolutely want to dance again and will dance again, and I also want to run the marathon next year. And I have a lot of people that have backed me up and support me, even though I am not a runner at all," she said.
Adrianne is an instructor at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Boston.
The Arthur Murray studio in Palm Harbor is holding a fundraiser for her next Tuesday night.
That's when Adrianne will be on Dancing with the Stars.
The fundraiser is at Tiffany's Restaurant on U.S. 19 in Palm Harbor, starting at 9 p.m.

Swimming Pic of the Week - September 23, 2010
How high do you get your feet in your breaststroke kick... and why?
How high do you get your feet in your breaststroke kick... and why?
This week's set is in response to a forum question: What can I do in the pool when I have a sore shoulder?
Just got back from coaching Masters. This was definitely the favorite set of the week.
To swim really fast butterfly, you have to take advantage of every opportunity for propulsion. The place that most swimmers ignore this opportunity... is in the second kick.
So you want to get your legs in shape quickly? Here's a drill that's not only fun but also just a bit challenging. It's also a great way to work your legs without injuring the knees.
To really excel at breaststroke, you need to be able to control your breathing...and not just the breathing in, but also the breathing OUT!
In breaststroke, timing is everything, and knowing when to initiate the kick is a critical element in that timing. Steve Haufler's Separation Drill does a great job in over-teaching this simple step to a great breaststroke.
If you're going to learn a great breaststroke kick, why not go to the best. Roque Santos, 200 breaststroke U.S. Olympian and multiple masters world record holder, shows us a couple tricks to an effective kick.
Kicking backwards while holding a board is a great drill for working your abs and thighs, essential muscles for butterfly and for dolphin kick off the walls for backstroke.
We all do this just about every day, but when you're kicking, how do you push off?
Too often, especially when kicking with a board, many swimmers search for the most power possible, which causes the legs and knees to go too wide.
Wanna work your legs and body position, and have fun with some tools? Here's a fun drill that allows you to vary your flutter kick a few times on each length.
If you choose easy sendoffs and take too much rest, this week's set becomes just another set. But if you step up and challenge yourself, this will be one of those sets that gets ***** next to it in your workout log.
We are a group of swimmers who swim really fast, and like to help others learn how to reach their competitive potential in the area of professional swimming.

By Dennis Glade
Washington Times-Herald
As the World Series begins Wednesday at AT&T Park in San Francisco, disgraced San Francisco outfielder Melky Cabrera won't be with the Giants, because he doesn't deserve to be.
Since the San Francisco Giants overcame a 3-1 deficit to win the NLCS over the defending champion St. Louis Cardinals, there has been plenty of talk about whether or not the Giants should add Cabrera to the World Series roster. Cabrera was suspended for 50 games on Aug. 15 for testing positive for testosterone. At the time of the positive test, Cabrera was leading the National League with a .346 batting average.
When Cabrera chose to take a banned substance he made the decision for the Giants very easy.
He got caught, and the Giants have made the right decision to leave him off the roster.
Yes, when Cabrera was in the lineup he was one of the best hitters in baseball, but people conveniently forget that those numbers are manufactured.
They aren't real. The real Cabrera is a .275 hitter, not the guy who won the All Star Game MVP in July, and ultimately helped the Giants earn home field advantage in the World Series, as soon as people realize this they will come to their senses that he isn't the key to the Giants winning four of the next seven games.
The Giants overcame a 2-0 lead to Cincinnati in the Divsion Series and a 3-1 lead to St. Louis in the NLCS, all without Cabrera. This is the same Cabrera that is on his fourth different team in the last four years.
Batting him third, the spot in the lineup he held four and a half months won't increase the Giants odds of beating the Detroit Tigers, if anything it will provide a distraction.
If Cabrera is let back in the clubhouse, the entire Giants organization will have to answer questions as to why he cheated and is being welcomed back.
It is a little odd considering these are the Giants, the franchise that protected all-time home run king Barry Bonds for years amid allegations that he used steroids late in his career.
Bonds, of course never failed a steroid test, something Cabrera did in the midst of what seemed like a dream season for the veteran outfielder.
What the Giants did in the past is irrelevant, what they are doing now with Cabrera is the absolute right decision.
If they allowed him to play, they would effectively be telling him you cheated, but it's ok we forgive you. Cabrera would be an upgrade over current leftfielder Gregor Blanco, but it's not worth it. The Giants trusted Cabrera once and he let them down big time.
Would he have been truthful, and informed the Giants of his steroid use had he not gotten caught? Would he have turned down the likely $50 million contract the Giants may have offered him to tell the truth? Highly unlikely.
The fact is the Giants gave Cabrera a shot to be part of his second championship team in four years, and he blew it. (Cabrera was the starting centerfielder on the New York Yankees 2009 championship team)
For their confidence in his skills, all the Giants got in return was embarrassment. The decision to go without Cabrera for the duration of the postseason and the World Series was a decision made by the Giants front office, but Cabrera made sure the decision was a no-brainer.

After the Stars defeated Los Angeles, 5-2, last night Kings coach Darryl Sutter said that "(Jamie) Benn and (Jaromir) Jagr were too much for us."
Jagr was asked about the chemistry he has going with Benn so far this season, and said that the two can be better.
"I think we are probably at 30 percent of where we can play. I think we've got a long way. We can get a lot better," Jagr said. "Obviously, I play a different style of the game than he's probably used to. It's tough for me at my age to change. I cannot dump and chase. I'm not fast for that, so I like to keep the pucks. He has to a little bit adjust. I know it's not his game, but so far he's doing a good job."

'Gov. Devalue' seeks higher home sales taxes
Scott has caught a very interesting — and disturbing — item in Gov. Deval Patrick's proposed tax package: A plan to eliminate current home-sale exemptions and simply slap on a 6.25 percent sales tax on the gains on any sale of a house in Massachusetts.
We're talking big bucks, folks, adding potentially thousands of extra dollars that sellers would owe after the sale of their home or condo.
As Scott notes, some have quietly nick-named Patrick "Gov. Devalue."
Besides the added costs, this is a poorly timed idea, considering the housing market is only now beginning to recover in prices.

Jerry Friedman, a professor of physics at M.I.T. and a Nobel laureate, will deliver a public lecture Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. at the Ted Constant Convocation Center at Old Dominion University. His topic is "Are We Really Made of Quarks."
Also on Nov. 3, Friedman will host an open forum for students, teachers and faculty members from 2:30 -4 p.m. in the Potomac River Room of Webb Center.
From 1967 to 1975 Friedman and colleagues from the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and California Institute of Technology accomplished measurements of inelastic electron scattering from the proton and neutron, which provided the first direct evidence of the quark sub-structure of the nucleon. The results of this work led to the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1990 for Friedman, Henry Kendall and Richard Taylor.
In 1964, quarks were proposed as the basic building blocks of matter. After efforts to prove the theory failed, however, most physicists rejected this model until modern high-energy electron scattering experiments were able to probe the interiors of the proton and neutron.
The discovery of quarks changed our view of the basic structure of matter and altered the path of particle physics.
For more information about Friedman's appearances on campus, contact Amin Dharamsi, professor and graduate program director, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, at email@example.com or 683-4467.

How do you get going again after pregnancy?
It's just awful isn't it TT
RF - I went to see that a couple of weeks ago with friends, we had a ball! Glad you had a great time.
TT - That's a really difficult one. All I can think is, it has happened here (Dunblane) and maybe it's because the country is so much bigger that is appears to happen more frequently?
Lotte - forgot to say, so glad he was found. Just hope the medical staff can start to sort things out.
Slightly strange request! I'm doing a Secret Santa next week and there's a standing joke with the girl I've got about 50 Shades of Grey. Was thinking of doing a joke box for her with bits, ahem, from the book. Does anyone have suggestions of what to put in . I've not actually read it so just trying to glean from the 'net what to do. Have picked up on the 'Laters Baby' catch phrase which I've managed to get a 'Sexy Santa' that I've superimposed her husband's face on to so printed the photo with that written underneath! (http://www.faceinhole.com/us/create/sexy-santa/b0bc3135-70b6-44af-b241-d4e099f8e35c/)
Yes, JT, I do get your point about UK not being immune to these things but population here only 5 times that of UK and seems to happen a LOT more than 5 times as often. Couldn't even begin to understand how the parents are feeling now. 20 kids dead plus gunman. His mum was the kindergarten teacher. Ugh.
Haven't read 50 Shades either so can't help I'm afraid. Sounds like a good idea though. Come on ladies, 'fess up - who's read it??
Well done Caro, sounds fab! Hope you can work out the finer details. I'm also in bed, feeling v rough but of the ill variety rather than any wine. Think I need to have a proper rest so am trying to not do anything today...
Caro - well done, that sounds brilliant, hope the paperwork and final terms all come through ... what a revelation for you it will be to work in a supportive environment!!
Enjoy your peace and quiet.
My hubby was feeling a ropey and ill on Friday night so he'd thought he'd stay in bed 'til 10 yesterday morning and this morning he was out at 8.00am to go cycling with the boys. Bless him, it's tough isn't it!!
Kids seem to have recovered from the vomits which is great. Took J orienteering yesterday, weather was grim and wet and cold (like 2 degrees and drizzling) but he loved it and managed to jog all the way round his 1.8km course. I did my usual, run fast but not pick very good routes so as usual times never live up to everyone elses expectations ... but I am gradually improving.
Pantomime in the afternoon, which hubby joined us for half-way through as he was still feeling tired etc (bless).
I'm still not feeling great but think it's hormonal too - went through a phase about a year ago of getting awful nausea as part of PMT so think I have that combined with dregs of the vomit bug and I slept sooooo badly last night, just feeling really stressed at the moment. J just had massive meltdown as I've said we are not going to rugby kids christmas party this afternoon - is 2.30-5.30pm and it will be me doing it as hubby back off to airport at 4 and has some work to do first. I just can't face it!!!
Sorry, having a mini melt-down at the moment. Will be short-lived though ... promise to stop whinging.
Hope your meltdowns stopped CC, think the end of term is making everyone a bit grumpy too, or it is here anyway...
Another hubby here who needs quite a lot of 'rest' although he did try to keep the kids out of my hair today so I could get some extra sleep as it is taking me so long to get better.
CM - as someone who is now working in the world of gymnastics I say they are all freakin crazy so avoid at all costs!! Haha no thats only the committees! Gymnastics is an excellent sport for developing fundamentals of movement eg. at its basic levels you lern all the skills to be able to do otehr sports well - balance,landing, jumping etc. In NZ now they have recognised that kids are coming in to sports without these basic skills and fundamentals through gymnastics is becoming a big thing. SO anyway enough boring stuff - if you can find a friendly group where emphasis is on fun and learning new skills he could learn some great stuff. Basically a club with a good recreation gymnastics programme (not sure what they call it in UK) rather than just a competitive programme as I wholeheartedly agree - WAY to competitive and harsh in the competition levels! I will be getting M to do the fundamentals/rec stuff when she is little but definitely not encouraging her to take it up competitively - too many bitchy princesses and focus on body shape etc. Also have been hrrified at seeing coaches sitting on gymnasts to get their stretch further - shocking!!! Sorry - taken over thread with a gym rant!!
Nearly time to go get M from daycare, running tomorrow I promise!!
PS Woohoo Caro!!!!!

This just in from LFL360:
via prointerviews.files.wordpress.com + image source here
MINNEAPOLIS (October 11, 2011) — Lingerie Football League, LLC and Minnesota Valkyrie officials have announced the hiring of former Minnesota Vikings great Everett Lindsay as the team's head coach and defensive coordinator alongside co-head coach and offensive architect Tony Nguyen.
Lindsay will lead one of five Lingerie Football League expansion teams in 2011. Having already captured its first franchise win over the rival Green Bay Chill, 28-25, on August 26, the Valkyrie now set their sights on their nationally-televised home opener in Primetime on MTV2 this Friday, October 14, at Target Center versus the back-to-back Lingerie Bowl Champion Los Angeles Temptation.
"Minneapolis is obviously an incredible football town and LFL Football has gained tremendous momentum as a league, the Minnesota Valkyrie and the state of Minnesota will be the perfect marriage. With my love of the game, I would not have involved my name unless the LFL was a credible and compelling football product. I urge all Minnesota Viking fans to come rock the Target Center like we have for so many years the MetroDome. Your pre-conceptions of LFL Football will change at the first snap," said Lindsay, who played offensive guard for the Vikings between 1993-98 and 2001-03.
"Everett has obviously played the game very successfully at the highest level, more importantly, he has been an incredible coaching beacon to the Valkyrie since the formation of the franchise. We look forward to building the future of not only the Valkyrie but our great game with class individuals like Everett Lindsay and Tony Nguyen," said Mitchell S. Mortaza, Founder & Chairman, Lingerie Football League, LLC.
All the more reason to COME JOIN US FRIDAY!!

Hello All! Die hard Raiders fan from Virginia here. New to posting, but certainly not new to the site or the RRRRAAAIIIDERS.
The 2011 season has already been a blast, another win against the Broncos, a nail biter in Buffalo that, IMO the third team on the field really helped them with. ( Fred Jacksons TD run that was really down at the 2. C'mon.) And a decisive win over the Jets has spirits high in Oakland.
All eyes have been on the offense this season, with Campbell coming into his own, the offensive line playing better than ever in recent memory( Campbell really only should have one sack on the season. The second sack was more of a fall.) The emergence of a solid WR core, the tight end play of Boss, and of course our league famous running game headed by DMC with some solid help from Bush and Jones.
But I think the defense is really going to show up in 2011, read on past the jump for the reasoning.
Reason one: D line depth and rotation.
The D line is the strongest unit we field on defense. Shaughnessy, Seymour, Kelly, and Lamar Houston are a force to be reckoned with every sunday. They get tremendous pressure on the quaterback, and have gotten much better at stopping the run. Unfortunately for every offense we play this year you simply cannot double every one of them, so somebody is always free to make a play. This makes the jobs of our linebackers and dbs much easier, therefore covering up some of the weakness in those units. The best part about our d-line to me is our depth, we can throw out Moss, Bryant, Henderson, and Scott and still produce a similar result. Keeping everyone fresh all game and making offensive lineman regret suiting up to play is a huge benefit.
Reason two: Great leadership and direction.
There is no quit in the 2011 Oakland Raiders. The role models we have brought on in this organization are truly paying dividends when it comes to keeping our young guys on the right track, and making them crave success. I believe it started with Richard Seymour joining our team, he keeps everyone on the team fired up, has lent his experience to the other players, and brings out the best of his teammates that join him on the field. Throw in Waufle, who has the D-line playing better than any line in the league, Woodson, who has our DB's making plays on the ball ( we have had a pick in every game we have played. Hasn't happened in a while) and Biekert, who seems to really have the LB's playing much better this season. Bresnahan doesn't impress me, but all he has to do is call the plays, because of great positional coaching the guys now know how to execute well.
Reason three: Better linebacker play.
Can you believe that Quentin groves is playing so much better since preseason? He no longer looks like a huge liability out there anymore. Now I am not saying he's probowl, or even worth keeping past this season, but he looks so much better out there this season. Rolando is looking like a real first round pick, his pass protection and ability to stop the run has improved. He also now has the ability to affect the team positively because of his awareness of the game. There was a play last week where Rolando ran up and moved Seymour by his pants to a different gap. I don't know what he saw, or why he did it, but it caused the play to fall apart and stopped the Jets that down. That is a mark of progress, not to mention another signature slam against Keller i'd say this young man is well on his way for being a GREAT member of this defense for 10-12 years. Wimbley is a good backer too. He's honestly pretty sharp in pass coverage, (the break up in the endzone against the Jets last week was a heads up move, he couldn't see the ball so he used his body to break up the pass) and his pass rush is explosive. I expect once we get rolling this season, he can put up 15 sacks.
Reason four: Better db play.
The 2011 Raiders have had a pick in every game, and no i'm not talking about #2 throwing a INT every game, our dbs are hawking for the ball! This is tremendous, because turnovers lead to wins. I think down the road this season we will be getting even more ints, and that can be the difference this team needed to become the big bad superbowl contender we once were. Look at the Saints, great team when they are getting turnovers, mediocre with out them. Routt has shown he has what it takes to be a true shut down #1 CB, while cb#21 is getting thrown all over in the city of brotherly love. Johnson is good when he's not hurt, he had a bad showing in Buffalo but I think he really can be the number two guy here in Oakland. I also really am liking the play out of CC, the kid had a hell of a game this week and will only get better. He doesn't have to rush into anything, maybe some nickel play this year. But I feel he will be a superstar someday. The safeties are impressing me much more this season. Huff was worth retaining, he has really become the FS we needed and I think we haven't seen the best of what he can do yet. Branch was great week 3, shotty week 2. If he plays like he did in week 2 frequently, Mitchell will take his job. Overall though, i'm impressed with them so far.
In closing, I'd say the biggest factor for the turnaround is the D line, they have made the LB's and DB's look much better with improved play all around. I think our defense is going to be the next big thing in the NFL. We just haven't showed it yet, but i'll be damned if we are not on the way.

In modern day Mixed Martial Arts, their are fans who proclaim that one fighter was and is significantly better than another at due to their organization and or affiliation.The era of MMA today is that fighters are training Wrestling, Striking & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu before even competing in their first MMA fight whether it be amateur or professional.
This Top Ten list of prospects will use the criteria directed of that similar to magicmike and will consist of fighters that are under the age of 25 and not employed by ZUFFA.
Join me after the jump as I show who I believe are the top MMA prospects not under the ZUFFA banner.10.)Jared "THE BIG SHOW" Rosholt(4-0),NCAA Divison I Wrestling/ Team Takedown/ Age 25. Heavyweight
WEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL It's the Big SHOW!
Like his brother Jake,Jared Rosholt is a big powerful Heavyweight with high level wrestling accolades, durability, solid BJJ and Striking; he also possesses a ton of speed, strength and raw natural talent that could lead him to the "Big Show" in no time.
UPside: Rosholt's wrestling could lead him for success in MMA, especially in the lacking HW Division, if he continues to stream together solid wins he'll be plying his trade in the UFC against the top HW's in the world.
9.)Joe Soto(9-2-0),JUCO All American, Good Boxing, Equal Amount of finishes by Submission/KO/TKO. NorCAL Fight Team. Age 24. Featherweight.
Despite recent injuries, Soto still remains one of the top featherweight prospects unemployed by ZUFFA. His only losses are to Eddie Yagin-currently employed by the UFC and reigning Bellator FW Champion Joe Warren, which is nothing to be sad about.
UPside: Although he has faced problems with injuries, Joe still posses a great amount of power in both hands, solid boxing technique and top level wrestling, if he can rebound from his previous loses, Soto will be back in Bellator and may be possibly get a rematch with the man who beat him for the title, Joe Warren.
8.) Yuri Villefort(6-0-0),High level grappling background, Technical striking. Finished all but 1 of his fights. Team Imperial Athletics, American Top Team. Age 20. Welterweight
Yuri Villefort possesses technical craft in all facets of MMA in which he showcases in all of his fights. Villefort is an exciting fighter that looks for the finishes constantly and is always in an exciting fight. Villefort has shown flashes of brilliance at such a young age and expect this man to be seen in the UFC, Strikeforce, Bellator, DREAM, or any other top promotion that can get their hands on him first. P.S. Danillo Villefort's little brother, and teammate of top lightheavyweight contender Rashad Evans.
Upside:Yuri Villefort is a crafty young kid with the ability to become a top fighter in any organization with the right mindset and help from others, his natural talents are enough to lead him a long way in this sport with an extremely bright future

Al boasts solid wrestling ability, ever improving standup and a solid submission game. Al lost his last fight to Pat Audinwood by armbar, however in the fight it showed the potential of the young Al as he got the better of the stand up exchanges and took Audinwood to the ground and got submitted possibly after getting overly confident ala Filho-Sonnen.
UPside: Despite his recent loss Iaquinta still possesses incredible wrestling, improving stand up skills and a solid submission game.If he can improve on his submission defense and continue to grow in all areas of the game he could very well be a top fighter in many MMA Promotions today like his teammates Chris Weidman & Gian Villante.
6.) Josh Hill(7-0-0)Hardcore work ethic, physical talent and technical skill. Age 24. Bantamweight.IRON Tiger Muay Thai
Josh Hill boasts a high level athletic skill set and showcases dominance in every one of his seven fights. All though his opponents aren't exactly cream of the crop, their regional opponents with skill and he's disposed of them quite easily in every fight.

Gunnar Nelson is a strong technical Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt who possesses dangerous submissions, GNP and solid take downs with an ever improving stand up game. He has finished all his opponents by KO & or Submission and has had little to no trouble dominating solid regional opponents with the slightest of ease.
UPside: Nelson is a dangerous BJJ Blackbelt with the ability to finish some top welterweights by submission or swarm them with his GNP, Nelson's striking needs improvement, but if Nelson's rounds out his entire game in the near future he could be a top contender in the UFC.
4.)Eduardo "dudu" Dantas(13-2-0) Long rangy striker, Solid submission and GNP, highlight reel KO's. Age 22. Nova Uniao. Bantamweight
Eduardo Dantas is a fast rising prospect with the highlight reel KO's and submissions. He has shown technical capability in his kickboxing and great grappling from his back or while on top. Although he hasn't come from a wrestling background. Eduardo has shown improvement in his take downs and tdd in his most recent victories over Ed West and Alexis Vila

3.)Douglas Lima(21-4-0)Dangerous Kickboxing, One Punch Ko Power, Crafty Jiu Jitsu. Age 24. American Top Team.Welterweight
Douglas has aggressive striking and dangerous power in both of his hands, his striking is incredibly dangerous and his ground game is very technical as well as a background in Judo.
UPside: Douglas throws with bad intentions and possesses the kind of style that can quickly get him into the UFC where can he put on FOTN performances with some of the bests Welterweights in the game.

Pat Curran has incredible power, good cardio, tenacity, good submissions and wrestling. He shows promise in both his striking and grappling and in my opinion is going to dethrone Bellator Featherweight Champion Joe Warren with ease.
UPside: Curran's reached incredible heights at already a young age, with improvements in his wrestling, tdd and Technical striking Curran can become a top ten fighter in the featherweight division or Lightweight if he ever made the return.

Internet Law
Facebook ban for sex offenders is overturned by 7th Circuit
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Jan 24, 2013, 09:18 am CDT
Mr. Falk, please give some thought to your statements before making them. The Pope is at the top of what some consider to be the most widespread pedophilia coverup in history. You're not going to garner much sympathy for the argument that a convicted sex offender ought to be permitted to report back to headquarters on social media.
By Bad Example? on 2013 01 30, 9:28 am CDT
No one should be given a false sense of security by believing that sex offenders are "banned" from any website. First, there are a lot of sex offenders that have not yet been convicted of anything, and would not be "banned.". second, convicted sex offenders can hardly be relied upon to comply with such a ban. So, the safest status for everyone is to operate on the assumption that Facebook and other social websites are overrun with sex offenders..
By judgejj on 2013 01 30, 9:34 am CDT
Altho I would consider it appropriate to ban sex offenders from social media, I would also be niave to think that a mere ban would keep them away. This falls in line with my wish that people would not shoot other people, but the gun (like social media) is not at fault. I'm in aggreement with "judgejj" that your assumption should be there are always bad folks out there ready to exploit you and do you harm.
By hownagy on 2013 01 30, 10:28 am CDT
Did this comment section get raided by 24 hour news station watchers?
Are we really to the point where people view most others as potentially dangerous criminals? Seems like an awfully isolating and insular worldview to have. Thanks, Nancy Grace and your ilk, for doing your part to turn Americans (and Britons) into fearful, naive jerks.
Pedophiles should be punished and kept away from children (i.e. they should be in jail if they're an actual threat). To deny access to social media to people that aren't in jail or subject to a court order denying such activity is absolutely a prohibition on speech. Why is such a wide net needed? Are people on the receiving end of chats from pedophiles that dumb? Where's the responsibility of parents and teenagers? Hey, everyone, maybe it's a bad idea to meet people from the internet.
It's sad to see so many people buying into the hyped up sensationalist pedophile mania. Are there dangerous people out there? Yes. Should children be protected? Yes. At the cost of casting a wide net so that people are prohibited from social media (something most people take for granted)? No. Don't give me that "if just one child is protected then it was worth it" tripe either. If fifty people had to have their vocal chords removed so that one person could be saved, I'd hardly call that fair. Now, I'm being dramatic, but it's early here and I haven't had my coffee.
By Jesquire on 2013 01 30, 10:45 am CDT
first the link to the case is bad—the article is uninformative, but the decision probably is worth reading!
second, why not ban them from using the telephone? speaking at a meeting of the school board? voting? talking to people? writing a letter to the editor? using snail mail to send personal messages to people they know?
All these activities bring them into contact with people who may introduce them to kids.

News: Jadakiss Addresses Sheek Louch's Controversial "Donnie G" Artwork
Friday, Nov 26, 2010 3:06PM
The LOX's Jadakss has shared his input on the controversial artwork behind his fellow groupmate Sheek Louch's Donnie G album cover, which portrays the rapper as half-human, half-gorilla.
Acknowledging the image, Jada said as long as Sheek provides good music on his Def Jam debut then there should be no arguments.
"The cover... yeah, man. I'll tell you: Publicity is publicity. Good, bad--you need some type of movement before your album is about to come out. And Sheek has that right now. You need people to be saying something. But the quality of music is what really matters. That overpowers everything. The cover is the cover and people can say whatever they want about it, but if your body of work is good, you'll be alright." (VIBE)
After the artwork leaked earlier this month, Sheek sat down with SOHH to discuss its significance.
"That's some of the hottest artwork I've seen in a while," Sheek told SOHH. "A lot of my people on Twitter were telling me that [too], all over online. It's definitely poster material. I could have just sat there and smiled for the camera, the regular playboy-type sh*t, you know what I'm saying? Nah, I didn't want that. I wanted to really take it there, you know, I'm always on that "Silverback Gorilla" thing. That's how I'm feeling, that picture right there is not to depict black people or none of that, it's just that I'm feeling real beastie right now. I'm in this jungle going hard at it. That's how I did it and they really brought that to life." (SOHH)
Aside from the artwork, his album's tracklist also hit the Internet in early November.
1. Rhyme Animal (Intro) 2. Get It Poppin 3. Club Jam Packed feat. DJ Webstar 4. Out Of The Ghetto feat. Kobe 5. Make Some Noise feat. Fabolous 6. Blood & Tears feat. Casely 7. Nite Falls 8. Party After 2 feat. Jeremih 9. Touch The Sky feat. Ryan Leslie & Adrienne Bailon 10. Ol' Skool feat. Bun B 11. Picture Phone Foreplay feat. Kevin "KC" Cossom 12. Dinner Guest feat. Jadakiss, Bully & Styles P. 13. Ready4War (Rap Radar)
Last May, Sheek credited Island Def Jam music executive L.A. Reid for executing his vision.
"I got some real good music coming out," he revealed. "I needed that right machine behind it to get that record past the level that it stops, to push it further. And I was shopping it to a lot of the majors...but my man L and Butch, Czar, Mike Caruso and Lenny S...they brought me up in there to Def Jam. And Chris Hicks and L.A. [Reid] they seen the vision. And it's on." (XXL Mag)
Donnie G is now scheduled to drop Tuesday, December 14th.

KILLINGLY, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut woman has been found not guilty of manslaughter in her 15-year-old son's overdose death.
Heather Specyalski of Ashford was acquitted Thursday in Danielson Superior Court. The trial began March 11.
Prosecutors said the 42-year-old Specyalski knew her son, Brandon, had consumed alcohol and morphine before he died in 2008, but didn't seek medical attention until she found him unresponsive hours later.
Defense attorney Terry Donovan said she and her co-counsel and husband, Jeremiah Donovan, are "ecstatic" about the jury's verdict.
Specyalski was acquitted nine years ago of manslaughter in a 1999 car crash that killed prominent businessman Neil Esposito. Authorities initially said Specyalski was driving, but her lawyer raised the possibility that Esposito was behind the wheel.
Donovan said Thursday, "We don't think Heather should have been prosecuted this time or the previous time."

The cleanup has begun in some parts of Long Island while others continue to deal with flooding from heavy rain fall that began late Tuesday and intensified on Wednesday.

Aside from brief roles in films like "Two Days In New York" for Julie Delpy (see below) or Japanese director Junji Sakamoto in "Human Trust," Vincent Gallo has so far largely kept his promise of focusing on ethereal self-made works—of the moment and sheltered from the "dark energies of the public." Along with his discussed philosophy, he denied his 2010 directorial effort, "Promises Written on Water" a proper release, and so when a new, mysterious project appears on the actor's web site, temper your expectations accordingly.
In the "Acting" section of VincentGallo.com, a new film credit has been added at the top—an 88-minute film entitled "April"—with only a few sparse but intriguing details accompanying it. Alongside the predictable credits of "written, produced, and directed" by Gallo (also playing the lead, "Seth Goldstone"), there is also a co-star, James Ira Gurman. If that actor sounds unfamiliar, it is actually the birth name of adult film star/director Jamie Gillis, who died in 2010—an unfortunate fact that brings up questions surrounding the origins of "April," and just how long it's been around (the production year is listed as 2013).
Is 2013 an actual release date? A note of completion? Or simply the finished film that Gallo wanted to let "rest in peace" around the time of "Promises"? As ever with the artist/filmmaker, don't expect a comprehensive answer any time soon, but hopefully we'll see some portion of it before he whisks the film off to his archives. (via @cmasonwells)

Vincent Gallo is the craziest person alive. He's also probably the funniest person alive. His website is half full of broken links that do nothing. The rest of his site have static text of him berating his fans, and it's hilarious. The Brown Bunny is the weirdest freaking movie you're going to see. I'm watching Vince Gallo drive a car like I'm in the back seat, and somehow it's funny. I absolutely loved Buffalo 66 though, one of my favorite movies of all time. Great story, good star power and his was really funny in it. Especially the scenes with Goon.
Emma | August 29, 2013 7:55 AM
I always thought he looked like a priest...
Melissa | August 29, 2013 1:54 AM
The Brown Bunny is one of the two the best films I have ever seen. It was so beautiful and it stayed on my mind for weeks afterwords. It changed the way I look at cinema. I saw Vincent Gallo's film Promises Written in Water at the Toronto film festival a few years ago. I drove there from New York City just to see the film. I met a friend of Vincent's who told me it may be the last screening of the film so I did whatever to see it in Toronto. Promises Written in Water is the other one of the two best films I have ever seen. It is incredible and like nothing else.
Mark W | August 17, 2013 3:45 PM
Vincent Gallo is GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anne Carmichael | August 10, 2013 1:48 PM
I kind of understand why Vincent Gallo would not care to release his movies or other creative endeavors. The public is harsh, silly and always looking to demean talented people. Mr. Gallo gets more flack than anyone else. I think it is because he is so different from the rest of the movie crowd and different from the typical artist type. I really really wish I could see his new films though as the two he has released are my favorites of anything I have seen in the past 20 years. I just saw him play a music show in SF last weekend which was so fu-king beautiful. I felt very lucky to be there. Everybody seemed to be really moved by the performance. Stunning guy

Top 5 Dead Or Alive: "Yeezy Came In As Jay-Z's Producer To Doing Collabo Albums W/ Him"
Friday, Sep 28, 2012 12:15AM
[Each week, SOHH asks two entertainment personalities to name their Top 5 rappers of all-time. To make things tricky, we've created a "Hall of Fame" of emcees (see right) who are universally respected and therefore may not be mentioned. After Torae unloaded his fave five earlier this week, Harlem's Ca$hflow reveals his top choices.]
Jadakiss. Jada is the king of street lyrics. He's always had that grittiness and those hard punchlines. He's been doing this for a while. If he's doing a feature with you, as an artist, you know you're going to step your rhymes up times 30. So you've gotta put Jada on there. That's my first name on the list.
T.I. I know it may be a little controversial but I've gotta go with T.I. First of all, he's called "King of the South" for a reason. ATL, they led a large movement in hip-hop which I feel was led by T.I. His microphone presence is there too. He can give you a record like "Whatever You Like" and then still say, "You Don't Know Me." He's a very dope artist.
Fabolous. He's been in the game for a while now. Longevity, punchlines, and he's able to be looked at as a ladies rapper and then he's one of the highest downloaded mixtapes guys. His mixtape downloads are very high. He has slick punchlines and it's very hard to be able to do all those things.
Kanye West. Yeezy came in as Jay-Z's producer to doing collaboration albums with him. People are even saying, "He had a better verse than Hov." Come on, you can't do it better than that.
Lil Wayne. I think he took the mixtape scene to a whole 'nother level. His delivery? Come on, I feel like he's a game-changer. He made a lot of people follow what he was doing. His group records, he took the mixtapes to new heights as we've seen with his Dedication series.

Below are the available bulk discount rates for each individual item when you purchase a certain amount
The 2007 Particular Cabernet Sauvignon contains small amounts of Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc in its blend and was sourced from a single vineyard. The wine was aged for 14 months in new, mostly French, oak. Brier, damp earth, espresso, violets, black currant, and blackberry aromas set the stage for a sweetly-fruited, savory, layered Cabernet with excellent grip, volume, and length. It already displays some complexity which will only increase with another 2-3 years of cellaring.
Piercing oak deals aromas of lemon and graphite, and there's serious berry fruit, herbal scents and sous-bois to go with that. Lively and showing good maturity and acidity, with flavors of black fruits, vanilla, chocolate, toast and tobacco. Good on the finish, with everything coming full circle. - M.S.
Red-ruby. Musky aromas of redcurrant, smoke, tobacco and underbrush. Supple but a bit reduced, with a subtle sweetness leavened by bright firming acidity. The tannins coat the palate and build, but the wine's sweetness and finishing note of bitter chocolate suggest it will assert its fruit within a year or so.
Notes of cedar and grilled herb frame a solid core of plum and currant fruit that lingers on the finish with an aftertaste of graphite. Drink now. 1,500 cases made. –NW

With support from Moscow, Washington, and the former imperial capitals no longer assured, armed groups in Africa now compete for riches in diamond mines, gold pits, oil wells, and rare earth deposits.
Regions / Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone may be slowly transcending its ethnic-based politics, but poverty remains an omnipresent threat to its development and democracy.
The citizens of Sierra Leone turned out in droves to vote, but they have failed to benefit from booming oil exploration and the mining industry.
The case of the Sierra Leone "15" highlights the country's growing resistance to multinational land-grabs.

Patriots agree to terms with OT Solder
OT Nate Solder is the 31st first-round pick to sign his contract, as he agreed to terms with the Patriots on Thursday.
The Patriots' fantasy dilemma
It's usually a good idea to avoid Patriots not named Tom Brady early on in fantasy drafts, but if 2011 is anything like 2010, there are a handful of safe bets from New England for your team.
Improving the Patriots' third-down defense
Heading into 2011, with such a high-octane offense, an improved third-down defense could greatly increase the Patriots' chances at getting back to the Super Bowl.
Spikes needs to put end of 2010 season behind him
After a solid start to his rookie season, Patriots ILB Brandon Spikes got suspended and did little in the team's playoff loss. He needs to return to the form he flashed at times in 2010.
Eagles sign FS Page, DT Hargrove
Former Patriots FS Jarrad Page and ex-Saints DT Anthony Hargrove are the latest veteran free agents to join the Eagles.
'Law Firm' returns to Patriots
RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who went from unknown backup to starting running back last season, re-signed with the Patriots on Wednesday.
Report says Eagles called Moss after he retired
PFW Patriots correspondent Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald says that the Eagles contacted WR Randy Moss after he had filed his retirement papers with the league
The Patriots' new RB carousel
Bill Belichick will potentially have five running backs to choose from each week to plug into his offense in 2011.
Rotating zones gathered no Moss

Five key questions facing the Patriots
PFW's Patriots reporter Kevin Fishbain asks and answers five key questions facing the Patriots as they head into the 2011 season.
Patriots fantasy focus
Here's a player-by-player look at the Patriots from a fantasy perspective heading into 2011.
Pats sign second-rounders Dowling, Vereen
The Patriots signed second-round picks CB Ras-I Dowling and RB Shane Vereen on Tuesday.
Moss' career arc, legacy unique
Randy Moss' career didn't lack for brilliant moments, but controversy followed him at times.
Report: Randy Moss will retire
WR Randy Moss will retire, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday.
The New England Patriots say they don't have any comment on published reports that Gronkowski has an infection in his broken arm that could keep him out into the season.||||||| The Boston Herald reported on Sunday that Gronkowski has an infection in the area where a metal plate was installed to repair his left forearm. Doctors will have to wait for the infection to go away to replace the plate, and Gronkowski would need 10 weeks after that to recover, the paper said. Patriots spokesman Stacey James said the team doesn't expect to comment on the report.
Gronkowski has undergone surgery on his broken left arm, a person with knowledge of the operation tells The Associated Press. Gronkowski suffered the season-ending injury Sunday when he caught a pass from Tom Brady in the first quarter and landed out of bounds on the arm for an incompletion in New England's 41-28 playoff win over the Houston Texans.||||||| Gronkowski had earlier surgery after breaking his left forearm on Nov. 18 in a 59-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He missed five games and returned for the season finale, a 28-0 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Gronkowski needs surgery on his broken left arm, a person with knowledge of the injury told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not released details of the injury.||||||| Gronkowski was injured on the Patriots' eighth offensive play of Sunday's 41-28 victory over Houston. He previously missed five regular-season games and is done for these playoffs.
Gronkowski is active for Sunday's playoff game against the Houston Texans.||||||| The record-setting pass-catcher missed five games with a broken left forearm before returning in the regular-season finale. That means he missed New England's 42-14 victory over the Texans on Dec. 10.
Gronkowski caught a 23-yard touchdown pass on Sunday against the Dolphins, his first game after missing the previous five with a broken left forearm.||||||| "It felt good. I haven't gotten hit in a while," Gronkowski said. "I got limited reps (but) you always want to get some reps before heading into the playoffs."
