The San Francisco Giants were able to take the rubber match of their three game series with the Colorado Rockies, winning 2-1 on Sunday. Rockies pitcher Jason Hammel took a no-hitter into the sixth inning but couldn't hold it up as he gave up a hit to Miguel Tejada for the first Giants hit of the game. The Giants got a pair of RBI singles and Brian Wilson nailed down the game with his 17th save on the season. Ryan Vogelsong improved to 4-1 with a 1.68 ERA on the season.
The Rockies jumped on top 1-0 courtesy of a Chris Iannetta home run in the fifth. Hammel was in control into the fifth inning but began struggling with his control. In the sixth he got the first two outs via Eli Whiteside and Ryan Vogelsong. However, he walked Andres Torres on four pitches and then gave up the first hit to Miguel Tejada. Freddy Sanchez followed with a single to knock in Torres and tie the game at one.
The game remained tied into the eighth when Matt Lindstrom came on in relief of Hammel. Burrell hit for Whiteside and drew an inning-opening walk. Emmanuel Burriss ran for Burrell and was sacrificed over to second by Vogelsong, and then advanced to third on a passed ball. Andres Torres then drove him in with a single to give the Giants a 2-1 lead.
Brian Wilson came on in the ninth to lock down his 17th save with a 1-2-3 inning. The victory moves the Giants into a tie for first place with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Arizona is currently trailing the Washington Nationals 4-0 in the bottom of the eighth so the Giants could find themselves back in sole possession of first place by the end of the afternoon.
The San Francisco Giants have the fourth best home record in the NL at 14-9 so far in 2011, and will look to extended that record Sunday at AT&T Park. They face a Rockies team that has lost eight of their last 10 and have only three road wins since the beginning of May. They also have the pitcher with the lowest ERA in May taking the mound in Ryan Vogelsong (0.57 ERA in May). Sounds like the Giants should win right?
But as they say, that's why they play the games.
As for Sunday's lineup, Miguel Tejada and Freddy Sanchez will both be back in at third and second base respectfully, batting second and third respectfully. Eli Whiteside will be back behind the dish to catch Vogelsong, Nate Schierholtz will be in right batting fifth, while Brandon Crawford remains at shortstop batting seventh.

After the San Francisco Giants came ever so close to coming back against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday there's nothing to do but turn around and move on to next. And luckily for the Giants they are sending out Ryan Vogelsong, who has been absolutely devastating to opposing batters at AT&T Park this season.
Vogelsong (3-1 1.77 ERA) has been stellar in his time with San Francisco, but has been at his best when he's actually in San Francisco, sporting a 1-1 record with a 0.38 ERA in 23.2 innings pitched at AT&T Park. But Vogelsong hasn't won since May 14, something that will hopefully change this afternoon.
Oppositie Vogelsong with be Jason Hammel for the Rox (3-5 3.89 ERA), another Rockies starter that has struggled lately. Hammel hasn't won a game since April 30, acquiring four losses over that span and a .50 point jump in his ERA. This will be Hammel's first start against the Giants this year.
After Sunday the Giants won't meet the Rox again until September, when they'll have seven games in 14 days, including a three-game set to conclude the season at San Francisco.
First pitch is set for 1:05 p.m. PT with coverage on CSN Bay Area and KNBR 680 AM.
The San Francisco Giants received some more injury related news today, and once again it isn't a good news.
Rookie Brandon Belt had an MRI Saturday morning, discovering a hairline fracture in his left wrist. The Giants have placed him on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 1.
It's not that bad," Belt said. "It's just a hairline fracture, a little bit chipped off just a tad."
Belt was hit on the wrist by Cardinals pitcher Trevor Miller on Tuesday, and was surprised to hear of the fracture due to the fact it felt much better after only a few days. But it's bad enough to sideline him for a little while, meaning the Giants will bring up another minor leaguer, triple-A Fresno's Conor Gillespie. Conor currently is sporting a .278 average with three home runs, 32 RBIs and a .355 OBP.
Belt remains positive about the matter and feels it won't be too long before he's back with the G-Men:
"Hopefully, a week or two at the most. I just want to make sure I give it the proper rest it needs to make sure it heals properly, so when I do start playing again, it's not acting up throughout the whole season."
Luckily Pablo Sandoval will be returning soon for the Giants, but it's not like Belt was seeing too much playing time before his injury. But he's another left handed bat the Giants need, as he hopefully will have a speedy recovery.
As a steady downpour delayed the start by 21 minutes, the San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies were set for their second meeting of their three game series at AT&T Park. Madison Bumgarner and Jhoulys Chacin battled it out for the majority of the afternoon while Cody Ross homered on his boblehead day, but the Rockies managed to hang on for a 2-1 victory.
Madison Bumgarner (L 2-7) extended his streak of quality starts to eight in a row this afternoon, but still took the loss, his seventh of the year. Bumgarner last for seven full innings with only one earned run on seven hits with one walk and six strikeouts. The runs scored against Bummy came off a throwing error by Brandon Crawford in the fifth, allowing Troy Tulowitzki to score, and a Tulo RBI single in the sixth. Cody Ross' homer in the sixth, his fifth of the year, gave the Giants some life heading into the last stretch of the game, as the crowd looked for some more AT&T magic.
Jeremy Affeldt pitched a scoreless eighth, followed with another by Ramon Ramirez in the ninth. The Giants couldn't manage a come back, coming up short after Colorado's Huston Street closed them out in the ninth, his 15th save of the year.
Jhoulys Chacin (W 6-4) struggled early with his command, but got into a groove that lasted for six innings, allowing four hits, one run, three walks and two strikeouts.
With the loss the Giants move to 32-36 on the year. Full box score can be found here.
The Giants will complete their series with the Rockies Sunday with Ryan Vogelsong (3-1 1.77 ERA) on the mound to face Jason Hammel (3-5 3.89 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. PT with coverage on CSN Bay Area and KNBR 680 AM.

Skipper Bruce Bochy has made some changes to his lineup for Saturday's meeting with the Colorado Rockies, most notably going very young with almost all of his call-ups starting today. Emmanuel Burriss will be at second base batting second, giving the hot-handed Freddy Sanchez a day off. Nate Schierholtz will bat third and get a second straight start out in right field, while Brandon Crawford will be at short and Chris Stewart will be behind the dish. Miguel Tejada will be back at third after having the day off yesterday.
A bit of rain scheduled for today's game as well, let's see how much of a factor it plays in the outcome. Since coming to San Francisco in 1958 the Giants have had 32 games rained out, only five of them happened at AT&T Park.

The San Francisco Giants will look to keep things going against the Colorado Rockies in game two, after a 3-1 win in game one. It almost felt odd to see them go off with seven off more runs and some form of grand slam ... wouldn't that just be swell if they were able to make that some kind of trend? With Buster Posey out, it's the last thing we've all expected, but we'll also take whatever we can get, yeah?
Madison Bumgarner is going to the mound tonight for San Francisco, and he's looking for his third straight win. He's currently sporting a 2-6 record, which doesn't reflect how well he's pitched this season, starting 0-6 was certainly not something anybody predicted, but he's started to get to the level he wants to be at. In four starts against the NL West rival Rockies though, he's 0-2 with a 3.52 ERA.
It's probably good for him then, that the Rockies are having trouble all throughout their team as of late. Their pitching is shaky, and when it's on point, their hitting disappears completely. This year, he got a no-decision in a Giants 3-2 win, giving up only one run in six innings on the mound.
On the flip-side, Jhoulys Chacin is looking to avoid his third straight loss today. He is sporting a much better record than Bumgarner, however, at 5-4, and could seemingly turn it back on at any point. He's got a 3.33 ERA on the season and gave up four runs in six innings against the St. Louis Cardinals in his last outing. Chacin also has a better record against the Giants than Bumgarner does against Colorado, going 2-1 in three starts with a 2.14 ERA.
Bumgarner will be hoping for run support, hopefully a little more than the three that Matt Cain got (probably a record for him, though). Cody Ross doubled in two runs and scored one of his own in game one, and he'll continue to be counted on as "the guy" in the absence of Pablo Sandoval and the aforementioned Posey.
The game is set for 1:10 p.m. pacific and will be on FOX.
The San Francisco Giants returned to AT&T Park on a bit of a soggy night on Third and King, looking to keep their winning streak intact against the Colorado Rockies. Matt Cain was sensational, Cody Ross and Brandon Crawford were clutch, and the Giants beat the Rockies by a score of 3-1.
Cain (W 4-4) lasted for seven full innings, and seemed to get stronger as the night went on. The Rockies only plated one run off of him, on four hits, with four walks and seven strikeouts. The lone run came from a Todd Helton groudner in the fourth. Javy Lopez breezed through the heart of Colorado's lineup in the eighth, while Brian Wilson made it intersting in the ninth, but still managed his 16th save of the year.
All of the Giants runs came in the fourth, starting with a two RBI double by Cody Ross who finished 2-3 with two doubles. Then Brandon Crawford smacked a RBI double of his own off of the very bottom of the foul pole, scoring Ross easily from second. Emmanuel Burriss had himself a good night as well, finishing 3-4 with three singles.
Rockies starter Juan Nicasio (L 1-1) fared pretty well in his second major league start, allowing three runs on nine hits with only one walk and three punch outs. He also was 2-2 at the plate with two doubles, both of which were hit very well.
Full box score can be found here.
The Rockies and Giants continue their series tomorrow as Madison Bumgarner (2-6 3.66 ERA) will take on Jhoulys Cachin (5-4 3.33 ERA) for the Rocks, with first pitch set for 1:10 p.m. PT. Coverage can be found on the Fox Network as well as KNBR 680 AM.
The San Francisco Giants are finally back from the muggy humidity of St. Louis to the drizzly shores of McCovey Cove, but not without a few shakeups in the lineup.
Emmanuel Burriss will start at third base giving Miguel Tejada a day off. Hopefully Miggy's day off will bring him the kind of success it brought Aubrey Huff last night, as Tejada is batting a measly .211/.237.271. But Burriss is really showing his value as a utility player, having made appearances at every infield position as well as some right field, which he never really plays in Fresno. Plus having two speedy switch hitters atop your lineup never hurts either. Nate Schierholtz gets the start in right field, Cody Ross in left, and Brandon Crawford at shortstop.
Speaking of Aubrey Huff, his three home run night on Thursday came on the same day that Willie Mays accomplished the feat in 1963, ironically enough against the Cardinals as well in St. Louis.
And in a bit of injury news Pablo Sandoval and Barry Zito are both in San Jose with the single-A Giants, both on rehab assignment. Zito will be around for four or five appearances in San Jose, while Pablo likely will only play a few then move up to triple-A Fresno for a couple games as well. Pablo could play as little as four total games in the minors before returning, fingers crossed.

The NL West has seen it's fare share of changes so far into the 2011 season, but the San Francisco Giants have retaken the top spot, but likely only for a little while. The Arizona Diamondbacks are still on quite the hot streak right now, and only trail the Giants by half a game in the division. These two teams have made some separation from the rest of the pack as the Colorado Rockies sit 4.5 games back, the Dodgers 5.5 games back, and the Padres 7.5 games back. Arizona San Francisco and Colorado have had extended streaks of success at points in the season so far, but have also had long droughts, leading to the mainly .500 records in the division.
As for the Wild Card the Florida Marlins still hold on to the top stop there with a record of 31-23, meaning the Giant would be right behind them if they weren't atop the NL West right now. Arizona and Atlanta are tied for second place at 31-26, followed by Milwaukee and Cincinnati.

The San Francisco Giants are finally back in the Bay, and begin their 10 game homestand with a visit from the Colorado Rockies. Giants fans will be hoping for the same outcome the last time the Rox were at AT&T, a series sweep, and it starts today with Matt Cain.
Cain (3-4 3.88 ERA) will be looking to rebound from his back-to-back losses including his last start against the Brewers where he got rocked for 11 hits and five earned runs in six innings of work. Cain seemingly is always more comfortable at home, and hopefully can turn his ship around and get his record back to .500 for the year.
Colorado will send out Juan Nicasio (1-0 0.00 ERA) who is making only his second start in the big leagues. He pitched well in his first outing after being called up from AA Tulsa, and proved enough worth to get a second crack at it.
Aubrey Huff can hopefully continue what he started in St. Louis, his personal game of home run derby. He might have some challengers in Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez, and who knows, may there be a splash down tonight? I have a feeling….
First pitch is set for 7:15 PT this evening with coverage on CSN Bay Area and KNBR 680 AM.
Well, that was a nice little series for the injury-stricken San Francisco Giants, no? They're without players like Pablo Sandoval and now, Buster Posey ... and they just took three-of-four from the St. Louis Cardinals in very impressive fashion. That's arguably the two best bats in their lineup, and yet they scored seven
points runs or more in all three of their wins. That's a great outing, and now they've put themselves in a great position: back on top of the NL West with an Arizona Diamondbacks loss. Now, they'll head back to San Francisco for a ten-game homestand, starting with three games against the division rival Colorado Rockies.
After starting the season very strong (at one point having the best record in all of baseball, if memory serves), they've since fizzled out and are sitting at third place in the NL West. They've lost five straight series, their last win in that regard coming in a two-game sweep against. .. you guessed it, the San Francisco Giants. So that bodes well for them in that regard, but they have lost five of eight so far this year.
Regardless of ranking or recent history, the Rockies remain a dangerous team that routinely keep up with the Giants. If the Giants are able to keep up the kind of play they demonstrated in the series against the Cardinals, then the Rockies of right now will certainly struggle to keep up. The pitching matchups should be good ones: the Giants are sending out Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner and the surprisingly solid Ryan Vogelsong, while the Rockies are sending out Juan Nicasio, Jhoulys Chacin, and Jason Hammel.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Authorities in West Virginia say a star of the MTV reality show "BUCKWILD" and two passengers all died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Twenty-one-year-old Shain Gandee, his uncle and another passenger were found dead Monday. Gandee's 1984 Ford Bronco was stuck in a mud hole, its tail pipe submerged. It's possible the gas could have filled the cabin because of the clogged exhaust pipe.
The Kanawha County Sheriff's Department says autopsies completed Tuesday confirmed the three men died from the gas.
Their deaths have been ruled accidental.
The victims' bodies have been released to funeral homes, but no arrangements have yet been announced.
Shooting for the second season of the show set around Sissonville and Charleston has been suspended.
CHARLESTON (WVVA) - A star of MTV's West Virginia-based series 'Buckwild' has been found dead in Kanawha County after going missing early Sunday.
Kanawha County authorities confirmed that 21-year-old Shain Gandee and two other individuals were found dead in a truck.
Thee other individuals were identified as Shain's 48-year-old uncle David Gandee and 27-year-old Donald Robert Myers.
Gandee and his uncle had been reported missing since early Sunday. They were last seen at a bar in Sissonville and reportedly said they planned to go four-wheeling in Shain's Ford Bronco.
Reports say officers had to use ATVs to access the area where the Bronco was found, near Wolf Pen Lane in Sissonville. The vehicle was found stuck in mud.
While the cause of their deaths was being investigated, the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department said the Bronco's muffler was below the surface and that mud covered the passenger side.
No foul play is expected.
A statement on MTV's website reads:
"We are shocked and saddened by the terrible news about Shain Gandee, and those involved in this tragic incident. We are waiting for more information but at this time, our main concern is for the Gandee family and their friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Shain had a magnetic personality, with a passion for life that touched everyone he met and we will miss him dearly."
"It's a very sad day for this county," Kanawha County Commissioner Kent Carper told MTV News. "This is a small place and just about everyone in this community knows everybody."
'Buckwild' debuted in January to high ratings on MTV. The half-hour, 12-episode series follows nine friends who find crazy ways to fill their free time, from clubbing in Morgantown to turning dump trucks into swimming pools.
The series was largely filmed in Sissonville and Charleston.
The show was met with criticism, most notably from Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., for what some see as a stereotypical, negative portrayal of the state's youth.
Since the show debuted, two regular cast members have had run-ins with the law.
In February, 24-four-year-old Salwa Amin was arrested in Nicholas County and charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.
Later that month, Michael Douglas 'Bluefoot' Buford was arrested on a charge of aggravated driving under the influence.
A second season of the show was green-lit by MTV in February.
SISSONVILLE, W.Va. (AP) -- A "BUCKWILD" cast member and his uncle are missing.
The Kanawha County Sheriff's Department said Monday in a news release that 21-year-old Shain Gandee and his uncle, 48-year-old David Gandee, were last seen around 3 a.m. Sunday at a bar in Sissonville.
Cpl. B.D. Humphreys says family members reported them missing after searching for them and trying to contact them Sunday.
Humphreys says the Sissonville residents had planned to go four-wheeling but didn't say where.
Foul play isn't suspected.
Anyone who has information about the men's whereabouts is asked to contact the sheriff's department at 304-357-0169.
The MTV show was filmed largely around Sissonville and Charleston.

In terms of visuals, features, quality of courses and online play, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 is a really great golf game. It would probably be easier to recommend if the series wasn't prone to such inconsistent yearly updates, but at least EA has focused on making the game better than just bigger.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 is a solid improvement over its predecessor and a really good golf game.
While Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 still suffers from a few of the glitches and lazy development that plagued its predecessors, the hugely innovative and perfectly implemented additions to the tried and tested Tiger Woods framework makes Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 very easy to recommend.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 is a good buy for anyone who loves the series and demands every update, and is a must-buy for players who have enjoyed this style of golf but have yet to add a Tiger Woods game to their collection.
Certainly the impact of this year's improvements is less significant than those showcased in Madden, NBA Live and even NHL. [Nov 2008, p.82]

A video billboard outside a northeast Indiana shopping center shows a picture of President Barack Obama wearing an Adolf Hitler mustache.
The billboard flashes the image at the start of a display that next flashes the words "Impeach" and "Obama."
The sign's owner said the images were a paid advertisement that wasn't associated with any of the businesses at Cornerstone Plaza on U.S. 6 in Kendallville, about 20 miles north of Fort Wayne.
The sign also included another message linked to LaRouchePac, a political action committee formed by former presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche, and third that seeks to restore the Glass-Steagall Act, a Depression-era law that limited activities between commercial banks and securities firms.
Supporters of LaRouche, who has promoted a number of conspiracy theories and was convicted in 1988 of mail fraud and tax code violations, have in the past circulated posters and flyers showing Obama with a mustache like the Nazi leader's, and his PAC has called restoration of the Glass-Stegall legislation as "the indisputable first step to global economic recovery."
Mayor Suzanne Handshoe said the message was inappropriate, regardless of a person's views of the president, and didn't reflect a message the city would want to send.

Intended to encourage new and innovative instructional
approaches, the Emerging Technologies Committee is pleased to
announce its first Teaching Innovation Project: iPads in the
Classroom faculty development opportunity for the 2010-2011
academic year.
This project awards 20 iPads to a faculty member with an
innovative course design project. The purpose of the project is to
study the impact of mobile computing in teaching and learning
through carefully designed projects that integrate the technology
into one or more components of a course. This activity will provide
some initial findings about the impact of this technology on
teaching and learning, potentially affirm or discount the viability
of this specific technology in teaching and learning and establish
sustainability benchmarks for potential multi-year implementations
of this or similar technologies.
All full-time faculty were invited to apply for this grant, and
upon review of their proposals for unique and specialized use of
iPad technology as a learning tool, the following recipients of the
inaugural Emerging Technologies iPad grant were announced. Each
recipient is listed along with an abbreviated version of his or her
proposed project description.
Eight faculty from across the university community Were selected
for the inaugural Transforming Teaching Through Technology faculty
workshop held August 2-4, 2010. This program was jointly sponsored
by the Office of the Provost and the Center for Academic
Technology. Each participant submitted an application describing a
pedagogical experience, problem or question they wished to explore.
Over the summer, along with Center for Academic Technology staff
and faculty colleagues, participants engaged in discussion about
these topics, learned new technology skills and were ready to start
the fall semester with a transformed course component.
Selected participants include:
These faculty members will be presenting the results of their work
and the impact it had on their courses throughout this academic
year in various venues.

All I know is that I constantly get woken up by (presumably) drunk people howling. I assume the parties go well.
There haven't been many parties in the last couple years due to Res Life policies. Going out can be challenging and disappointing most of the time.
Nightlife is limited to mostly non alcoholic parties and gatherings which is fine if you are under 21 or not a drinker.
The night life does kind of suck because most places in town are closed. Roscoe's just opened up though and they're a cool little cafe/deli place open late. Unless you go to house parties or whatever there's not much to do. Sometimes there's student-sponsored activities like raves and movie nights and stuff but they can be lame. I guess it is what you make of it—if you have a fun group of people you can find something to do, it's just not going to be spelled out for you.
Nightlife at earlham is okay as well. if you are over 21, and can drive, Cincinnati is not far away.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Anna Benfield
What some schools say about guys and girls really applies to parties at Earlham: The odds are good, but the goods are odd. If you want to shoot off bottle rockets in the cornfield or go to parties with themes like "Knitting and 40s," Earlham is for you. Kegs are around at the beginning and end of the year, and you can probably find a chill group of people and go up to the roof of the off-limits Joseph Moore House with you. But like most things at Earlham, the parties are a mix. A party that begins with spiced rum and streaking might end up as a conventional party scene with tequila shots and dancing. You'll probably know everyone there, which can make for more fun, but also more drama. Don't do anything you don't want everyone and their mother to know about by Sunday morning.
Keep in mind: Earlham wouldn't be Earlham if we had good clubs to go to. Part of the adventure, or part of the agony for some, is that you really have to make your own fun in this lonely Midwestern town. If you want your Saturday night to look like a frat party, you're going to be bumming most weekends. But if you survive the four years with a smile, you'll have learned a lot about how to make something out of nothing.

Destin, Fla. – (Dec. 21, 2007) – Mike Stange, president and chief executive officer at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and senior vice president of Intrawest Hospitality Management (IHM), was presented with the Excellence in Business Award from the Walton Area Chamber of Commerce in early December.
The Excellence in Business Award is given to Walton County professionals who demonstrate "overall stellar performances in the areas of growth, expansion, services, innovation, capital investments, community involvement and responsiveness to change."

"There isn't anyone in this community who hasn't been touched by the team at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort or Mike Stange," said Moliterno. "He exemplifies excellence in business and we are so grateful for his many contributions."

Stange currently serves as a board member for the Walton Area Chamber of Commerce, the Walton County Tourist Development Council, Southern Innkeepers Association, Sacred Heart Development Board, and the Jamaican Central Labour Organization. He is a commissioner for the South Walton Fire District as well as an active member of the Sandestin Owners Association.

It's hard to believe that we're almost 20 years removed from DJ Shadow's breakthrough MoWax single "Lost and Found (S.F.L.)." Not just because abstract, downtempo instrumental hip-hop still seems like a pretty contemporary development, but because Shadow himself carries a sort of ageless quality around him. From micro-press psychedelic oddities to the dustiest corners of fusion jazz, those energetic mutations have made him a sort of Herbie Hancock of the MPC and put a characteristic stamp on career-defining albums like Endtroducing..... and The Private Press. But he also seems ageless because he keeps up, even at the risk of alienating the part of his fanbase still waiting breathlessly for him to reendtroduce his '96 self. Engaging with the cream of Bay Area hyphy rappers on 2006's The Outsider or flipping rock crossover from metal to new wave to indie-pop on 2011's underrated The Less You Know, the Better may not have drawn favorable critical comparisons to his early work. But so what? As long as Shadow keeps moving forward — and bringing the pyrotechnic, catalogue-transforming thrills that make him a must-see live act — he'll be worth getting excited about. 18+.

The Bengals haven't won a playoff game in over 20 years and they hope to snap that streak against the Texans on Saturday afternoon.
Like us to subscribe
The Houston Texans will host the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday in the opening round of the 2012 NFL playoffs. The Texans enter the game banged up and depleted by injuries, but hold home-field advantage and a superior regular-season record.
Many of the nation's football experts and columnists have released their predictions for the opening round of the postseason, to go along with SB Nation's take on Cincinnati's chances in the game and the reasons why the Texans might be favored to win.
Sports Illustrated has released their picks and predictions for the entire NFL offseason. Six of the eight contributors select the Texans to win the game. All of those contributors have Houston then losing to the Baltimore Ravens in the following round. The two contributors who selected the Bengals to win anticipate that the Bengals would then lose to the Patriots in the second round.
ESPN has released their picks for the Wild-Card Weekend. The results there are decidedly more even. Between the eight columnists and two aggregators, five select the Texans to win, while five select the Bengals.
If there was any doubt that the game is anticipated to be evenly-matched and close, CBS Sports provides just one opinion as means of expert pick for the game, provided by Pete Prisco. He predicts that the game will finish with a final score of 20-17 in favor of the visiting Bengals. Here's what Prisco has to say:
This is a rematch from a Week 14 game when rookie T.J. Yates rallied the Texans from behind with a last-second touchdown pass to give Houston a 21-19 victory. The Texans haven't won since. They have struggled on offense and the defense has had its share of troubles. The Bengals went 2-1 since then. This should be a battle of rookie passers with Yates against Andy Dalton. The Bengals dominated the early part of the first game, so I think that will show up here again. The key will be Houston's second-ranked rushing offense against Cincinnati's 10th-ranked rushing defense. If the Bengals can stop Arian Foster, and put the pressure on Yates, they can steal a road playoff victory. The Texans were second in total defense, so Dalton faces a stiff challenge. This has the makings of a low-scoring tight game. I'll take the more experienced rookie quarterback, and that's Dalton.
The jury seems to be out on this game, as it figures to be the hardest to predict in the first weekend of playoffs.

The Cincinnati Bengals and the Houston Texans will face off Saturday afternoon in the first AFC Wild Card game of the 2012 postseason. With the Detroit Lions and the New Orleans Saints earning primetime status, the Bengals and Texans will get the "B" team treatment this weekend. Tom Hammond and Mike Mayock will handle play-by-play and color duties, while Alex Flanagan works the sideline.
Hammond and Mayock typically team up for NBC's coverage of Notre Dame Football. Last year's Wild Card game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints was the first time the team ever handled an NFL Playoff game. You can catch them announcing Saturday's game live at 4:30 p.m. ET on NBC, or online at NBCSports.com and NFL.com.

The Cincinnati Bengals will go on the road to play the Houston Texans in the AFC Wild Card game on Saturday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. (ET) on NBC. Like most fan bases, the Cincinnati community feels they have a legitimate shot at winning on Saturday.
We asked our Bengals blog, Cincy Jungle, why the Bengals will win and why they'll lose:
Why the Bengals will win: During their week 14 meeting at Paul Brown Stadium, the Cincinnati Bengals forced two fumbles against the Houston Texans' offense within two minutes of each other, early in the fourth quarter while sporting a commanding nine-point lead. The second was a fumble recovered by the Bengals, returned to the five-yard line where Geno Atkins lost control of the ball that Houston eventually recovered at their own two-yard line. Houston was forced to put together consecutive 13-play drives, turning a nine-point deficit into a one-point win in the fourth quarter.
Why the Bengals will lose: The Bengals have struggled all season closing out games against teams that eventually made the playoffs, going winless in seven tries. Though the losses were all within a score, save for the second game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Bengals will have to prove that they can surpass that milestone.

The Cincinnati Bengals will play the Houston Texans in the first AFC Wild Card game of the weekend. The Bengals are underdogs in the game and that's part of the reason our Texans blog, Battle Red Blog, thinks Houston should win the game.
Battle Red Blog explains why the Texans will win, and why they'll lose:
Why the Texans will win: The Texans played their worst game of the season (allowed five sacks, lost the turnover battle 4:2, and played without their star receiver) and still won on the road, in large part due to the defense keeping them in the game with incredible halftime adjustments. If Houston cleans up their own mistakes then they should control the ball game.
Why the Texans will lose: Houston will lose if their zone run game is taken out of the equation by an athletic and quick Cincinnati front four. Gary Kubiak's offense is built being able to run the ball to open up those long play action passes. If there's no running game then there's no offense and the defense won't able to win it on their own.

Perhaps no team in the NFL has been as stricken by the injury bug as the 2012 Houston Texans. Despite losing their top two starting quarterbacks for the season, and Arian Foster and Andre Johnson for weeks at a time, they still managed to finish the regular season with a 10-6 record and a playoff berth. The Cincinnati Bengals enter Saturday's AFC Wild Card game with some injury concerns of their own. The relative health of both teams could be the key to the game.
By sheer numbers, the Texans' injury report looks much more worrisome. The team listed 20 players with some sort of ailment this week. Johnson is perhaps the most important player to keep an eye on. He played roughly 20 snaps last week while dealing with a nagging hamstring injury, catching just two passes for 21 yards. Johnson is expected to earn roughly 45-50 snaps on Saturday, giving Houston a much-needed boost with rookie T.J. Yates under center.
The Bengals are generally in much better standing health-wise. Quarterback Andy Dalton was hospitalized with an illness earlier this week, but has since been released and is expected to be 100 percent for the game. One player to keep an eye on will be Geno Atkins, who was unable to practice fully this week until Friday due to an Achilles injury. Against a vaunted Texans running attack, his presence will be critical along the defensive line.

For those who won't be able to tune into Saturday's AFC Wild Card matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Houston Texans on television, you have options. Legal ones, too! For the first time ever, this season's 2012 NFL Playoffs will be available for streaming online for free. On Saturday, you can catch both playoff games on NBCSports.com and NFL.com.
For those trying to catch Saturday's game on their mobile device of choice, those with Verizon Wireless can download the NFL Mobile app from NFL.com to access live video feeds. Unfortunately, those without Verizon are out of luck unless they resort to more dubious methods.
The Houston Texans are playing their first playoff game in franchise history. Saturday's game will also feature two rookie quarterbacks playing against one another in the postseason for the first time ever in the Super Bowl era. The Bengals will look to slow down a potent Texans rushing attack led by Arian Foster, among other factors.
For more on Saturday's game, be sure to head over to Bengals blog Cincy Jungle and Texans blog Battle Red Blog.
To kick off Wild Card Weekend in the 2011 NFL Playoffs, the AFC South Champion Houston Texans will play the first playoff game in franchise history when they host the No. 6 seed Cincinnati Bengals at Reliant Stadium at 4:30pm ET on Saturday afternoon.
Both of Saturday's playoff games will be shown on NBC, with their "B" team of Tom Hammond, Mike Mayock, and sideline reporter Alex Flanagan assigned to the Bengals-Texans game.
In addition to the Texans playing the first playoff game in franchise history, Saturday's game will be the first time in the Super Bowl era where both teams will be starting rookie quarterbacks. Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was a second-round pick in last April's draft and opened the season as the starter, while fifth-round pick T.J. Yates has gained his starting role after Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart suffered season-ending injuries.
Led by Yates, the Texans came from behind to defeat the Bengals 20-19 in Week 14. Dalton passed 189 yards and a touchdown in that meeting and Tim at Battle Red Blog anticipates a long day for Dalton against a Texans defense that ranked 2nd in total and were 3rd against the pass.
The guys at Cincy Jungle think the key match-up involves Bengals first-round wide receiver A.J. Green against Texans Pro Bowl cornerback Johnathan Joseph, a former Bengals first-round pick who signed with the Texans when the lockout ended.

Who are the difference makers on Wild Card weekend? SB Nation's NFL playoffs roundtable takes a look at the x-factors heading into the first round of playoff games.
The 2012 AFC Wild Card matchup between Cincinnati and Houston could hinge on the running game -- more specifically, the Bengals defense vs. the Texans rushing attack.
Houston boasts the No. 2 rushing offense in the NFL, led by duo of Arian Foster and his backup, Ben Tate. Meanwhile the Bengals run defense has fallen apart over the course of the season. Cincinnati allowed just one team to rush for more than 100 yards in its first eight games, but has been run over during the second half of the season -- including a gashing at the hands of the Texans in a Week 14 loss.

SB Nation's Bengals blog, Cincy Jungle, takes a look at Bengals declining rush defense, which still ranks No. 10 in the league in yards allowed per game:
In Week 14 they played the Houston Texans, who, of course, they play on Saturday in the wildcard round of the playoffs. They went into the locker room at halftime with a 16-3 lead but they ended up losing the game by a score of 20-19. That was largely thanks to a second-half collapse but the fact that the Bengals allowed the Texans to run for 144 yards against them can also be blamed. For those of you keeping track, that's five games in a row that the Bengals allowed a team to run for over 100 yards against them.
On Saturday the Bengals face the Texans in the playoffs. They had given up 100 yards on the ground in six of their last eight games and as a result they had lost five of those games, including one to the Texans. If the Bengals are not able to contain the Texans' running game consisting of Arian Foster and Ben Tate, their chances of heading to New England to play the Patriots in the divisional round drop dramatically.

We are only one day away from the start of the 2012 NFL playoffs. The schedule has the Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans squaring off at 4:30 p.m. The game will be televised on NBC and it will be the first game of Wild Card weekend.
This is the weekend every NFL team has been waiting for (which means there are 20 disappointed teams). The playoffs in the NFL always have an upset or two and I suspect this year wil be no different.
The Texans, making their first playoff appearance in franchise history, are three point favorites in the game. They'll rely on their rushing attack, which is among the league's elite, as well as a somewhat-healthy Andre Johnson, who is expected to play.
The Bengals made it here led by a rookie quarterback in Andy Dalton and rookie receiver in A.J. Green. They have terrific line play and for that reason I don't expect them to be blown out.
It will be the first time rookie quarterbacks face off against each other in the playoffs and this should be a close game as many experts are predicting.

It's notable, then, that Mayock called Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver A.J. Green "one of the top ten receivers in the league."
Mayock discussed Green and his matchup with Houston Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph in an interview that appeared on the Bengals' website. Mayock predicted a bright future for Green, one that would put in some very elite company.
I think (Green) is already one of the top ten receivers in the league and in the next year or two he'll be mentioned with Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson. That's the kind of ability he has.
Green led all rookie receivers this season with 1,057 receiving yards on 65 catches, also the top mark among rookies. His seven receiving touchdowns ranked second among rookies, bested only by Julio Jones of the Falcons who had eight.
Green is the first rookie receiver with more than 1,000 receiving yards since Marques Colston in 2006.
Mayock started calling games on the NFL Network this season, but he makes the jump to broadcast networks for the playoffs. He'll be in the booth for the Bengals Vs. Texans on NBC this Saturday.

The playoff matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Houston Texans is a divisive one. Though the Texans are the third seed and the Bengals the sixth, there isn't much separation between the two teams. The Texans have been holding on to a weak division since starting quarterback Matt Schaub went down, while the Bengals play in arguably the best division in football.
Sports Illustrated's Peter King is picking the Texans to win by two points. He says that the quarterback duel between rookies T.J. Yates and Andy Dalton is too close to call with their current fitness concerns. Therefore, he's giving the tiebreaker to the Texans on the basis of the superiority of their two-headed rushing attack of Arian Foster and Ben Tate.
Experts at other outlets are also divided. NFL experts from both CBS and Yahoo! were split on the game, though both outlets slightly leaned towards the Bengals.

The Cincinnati Bengals are preparing to play the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round of the 2012 NFL playoffs and they received a scare when QB Andy Dalton was hospitalized on Wednesday with an illness.
Worry no more, Bengals fans: Dalton is fine.
He tells Geoff Hobson of the Bengals official sitethat it was just a 24-hour bug, he feels fine now and he will practice on Thursday. That's good news for the Bengals considering Dalton has been one of the keys to their success this year.
The Bengals QB was staying "close to the sink and toilet" when he was sick on Wednesday, which lead to him being hospitalized for flu-like symptoms.
The loss of Dalton would have been devastating to the Bengals but it sounds like they won't have to worry about much. The game is on Saturday, according to the NFL playoffs schedule, which means Dalton will have had three days to rest up from whatever ailed him.

T.J. Yates and the Texans host Andy Dalton and the Bengals in the first playoff game in NFL history featuring two rookie starters at quarterback. Which one has what it takes to advance to the Divisional round?
Andy Dalton had to make a visit to the hospital on Wednesday, but he's still expected to start the AFC Wild Card game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Houston Texans. Dalton had to miss practice on Wednesday due to illness and was taken to the hospital for treatment with flu-like symptoms. Apparently, whatever treatment he got at the hospital went well, and Dalton will be able to practice on Thursday.

There's no reason to believe that Dalton won't be able to play at a high level for the Bengals this weekend if he's able to get back to full practice on Thursday, but it's still concerning when a team's starting quarterback is very sick and "staying close to the toilet and sink," as Bengals Head Coach Marvin Lewis so elegantly put it.

It may come as a bit of a surprise if you haven't really been paying attention, but the Cincinnati Bengals head into their AFC Wild Card playoff game against the Houston Texans with a better record on the road than they have at home. In fact, their 5-3 record away from Paul Brown Stadium is just as good as the Texans' record at Reliant Stadium where Saturday's encounter will be taking place.
Of course, the difference of one win is not exactly statistically significant and it's probably a stretch to say that the Bengals are actually better on the road, but clearly they aren't just falling apart. Bengals blog Cincy Jungle pulled this quote from team captain Andrew Whitworth that makes some attempt to explain the oddity:
"We're the little one most people count out and we come swinging," he said. "That helps you win on the road. If you have that mentality you are not worried about the crowd you are not worried about how good the team is; you are not intimidated."
The Texans, for their part, have identical road and way records (5-3). They have also already shown they can beat the Bengals. Granted, that game on Dec. 11 was played in Cincinnati and was decided by just a single point (20-19), but it was a win nonetheless. Texans blog Battle Red Blog relived that game recently and pointed out that one of the biggest things coach Gary Kubiak did right was trusting rookie quarterback T.J. Yates.
Despite an interception and five allowed sacks, neither Kubiak nor Yates panicked and got conservative. That persistence paid off, as Yates would reward the braintrust's faith in him by delivering a beautiful game-winning drive. The Texans need to remember that and come out willing to throw the ball to loosen up the Cincinnati defense.
No matter how you slice it, these two teams seem to match up pretty well. Interestingly enough, though, the Texans are favored by exactly 3 points, which is usually the automatic advantage oddsmakers give the home team.

When the Cincinnati Bengals meet the Houston Texans on Saturday in the first game of the 2012 NFL Playoffs, the teams will be looking to break a 3-3 tie in all-time match-ups. But while the Bengals had the upper hand early on in the series between the two teams, the Texans have been ahead of late.
The Bengals' three wins in the series were the first three games of the series. And Cincinnati gave Houston its worst loss in 2002, the franchise's first season, in a 38-3 shellacking. In that game, Jon Kitna threw four touchdown passes, and the Bengals scored the last 38 points to get their first win of the year.
But as the Texans have gotten older, they've turned the tables on some of their early bullies, and Houston's won three straight against Cincinnati, including a 20-19 victory in Week 14 that may have been the Texans' best win in franchise history: not only did it clinch Houston's first-ever playoff berth, but T.J. Yates piloted the Texans to it with two 80-yard drives in the fourth quarter, and found Kevin Walter for the game-winning score with two seconds to go.
Neither team merits mention in the discussion about 2012 Wild Card Weekend teams that could win the Super Bowl, and Andrew Sharp is amazed that T.J. Yates and Andy Dalton are playoff quarterbacks, but if series history is any indication, the Texans and Bengals may have an entertaining game to play on Saturday.
For more on the two teams, check out Bengals blog Cincy Jungle and Texans blog Battle Red Blog.
The Cincinnati Bengals have put a lot of faith in rookie quarterback Andy Dalton this season, letting him start all 16 games. So far, their faith has been repaid handsomely. Now, it looks like they are playing it careful and giving Dalton the day off from practice just days before their AFC Wild Card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The official word is apparently that Dalton is day-to-day and essentially called in sick with an intestinal virus.
Bengals blog Cincy Jungle pointed out that the temperatures in Cincinnati hovered around 20 degrees on Wednesday.
The Bengals have managed Dalton pretty expertly this year. The TCU product has thrown for 3,398 yards, completed more than 58 percent of his passes and thrown 20 touchdowns to 13 interceptions. None of those are eye-popping numbers, but Dalton does get bonus points for leading the Bengals to a 9-7 record and back into the playoffs.
It is also worth pointing out that the Bengals' playoff appearance is just their second in the past six years and the third since 1991. The Bengals are hardly the kind of team where rookie quarterbacks are expected to succeed.
He'll be playing through a separated shoulder as half of the first-ever matchup of rookie quarterbacks in NFL playoff history, and T.J. Yates is seeming more and more ready as the Houston Texans prepare to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in the franchise's first playoff game. He participated fully in Tuesday's practice, putting in what head coach Gary Kubiak called an "excellent" effort, according to the Houston Chronicle.
"I took the full load at practice," said Yates, who suffered the injury Sunday on the first play from scrimmage in a 23-22 loss to Tennessee. "I didn't take any reps off, and it feels good. I went out there and was able to throw the ball just fine - no pain."
Jake Delhomme filled in adequately for Yates, but the rookie quarterback has performed adequately in his action after the season-ending injuries to Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart. With a terrific defense and running back Arian Foster, the Texans are confident with Yates under center heading into Saturday's game.

The Houston Texans are going to the playoffs for the first time in the history of the franchise. Is their back-to-basics approach enough to take them to the Super Bowl?
The Houston Texans will host an NFL playoff game for the first time in franchise history. The Texans came into existence in 2002 and over the last few years have been on the edge of qualifying for the playoffs but they weren't able to clinch it until this season.
So the Texans enter the playoffs and, as you can tell by our Texans blog, Houston fans are excited for the first playoff game in Texans history. Even better, the game will be at home due to the fact that the Texans won the AFC South. They'll host the Cincinnati Bengals and head coach Gary Kubiak talked about what it means for this city to see a playoff game from the Texans.
"Well, they can help us by being real loud. They've been that way all year, but I know this city is excited about Saturday afternoon. I just want them to know how excited we are as a football team. We're looking forward to going to battle with them. That's the key. We're all in this together. It's a big, big game for everybody. We're looking forward to giving our best effort, and I know we'll get theirs."
The Bengals are dealing a few first-timers as well. Andy Dalton and A.J. Green, both rookies, have never experienced a playoff game.

Should the Cincinnati Bengals be confident heading into the AFC Wildcard game against the Houston Texans? It depends on how you look at it. On the one hand, the Bengals did have a double digit lead against those same Texans back in Week 14. On the other hand, the Bengals blew that lead and allowed the Texans to come back and win the game.
So, yes, the Bengals should feel confident that they can win. They put themselves in position to win back in Week 14 but just couldn't close it out. SB Nation's Cincy Jungle recapped that game and came to a great conclusion:
The Cincinnati Bengals can beat the Houston Texans and the Cincinnati Bengals can also beat themselves.
Usually it's the Bengals making the dramatic fourth quarter comeback. That's what they've been doing all year. The playoffs are different than the regular season. The intensity is higher and the focus is sharper. They simply can not allow the Texans to get back into the game if they can secure a lead.
The Bengals are a really, really good team and because they've been so bad in the past few years I'm not sure most fans realize that this is a legitimately strong team.
The AFC Wildcard game could change that.

It has already been a crazy year for the Houston Texans when it comes to injuries. So maybe it shouldn't be a huge surprise that T.J. Yates, who started the year as the team's third-string quarterback, is probably going to play during the Texans' Wild Card playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
T.J. Yates should start against Cincy despite separated left shoulder. He was 4-for-4 for 47 on TD drive after suffering injury on 1st play.— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) January 2, 2012
Since taking over for Matt Leinart in Week 12, who himself was taking over from Matt Schaub, Yates has been solid if unspectacular. He has thrown just three touchdowns, but has also only thrown three interceptions while completing 61 percent of his passes.
If Yates can't go, the job would fall to Jake Delhomme, who saw his first extended action on Sunday in the Texans' season finale. Delhomme was 18 of 28 for 211 yards and a touchdown in relief of Yates.
For more on Yates' status, be sure to follow this StoryStream. Check out Texans blog Battle Red Blog for more analysis.
The Houston Texans will host their first playoff game in franchise history and they'll have Andre Johnson along for the ride. Johnson has been limited to just seven games this season because of multiple hamstring injuries. He returned in Week 17 and played about 20 snaps in a meaningless game.
Head coach Gary Kubiak confirmed that Johnson will be available next week against the Cincinnati Bengals in the Widl Card round but that Johnson may not be ready for an entire game.
"Yeah, I don't think Andre's ready to play 70 plays, but we don't want him doing that anyway. We want him playing 45 to 50 good ones, but I think he'll be ready to do that."
The Texans have a terrific run game so they've been able to survive without Johnson for part of this year. They'll be facing a strong Bengals defensive line next weekend so they'll need all the help they can get in the passing game. Johnson should provide some help.

The Cincinnati Bengals are in the playoffs, which is almost hard to believe. They were considered one of the NFL's worst teams before the season begin because they were starting a rookie quarterback. That rookie quarterback, Andy Dalton, turned into a solid season and helped lead the Bengals to the playoffs.
The Bengals will travel to Houston to play the Texans in the Wild Card round.
SB Nation's Cincy Jungle is obviously excited about Cincy's improbable run and recaps the season nicely in this post.
The Cincinnati Bengals have truly come full-circle, largely believed to be the worst team in the NFL during the preseason to being one of 12 teams that made the playoffs this year. Though the moment is bittersweet due to Cincinnati's most recent loss to the Baltimore Ravens, remember this moment as the second time in three seasons that the Bengals made the playoffs. No matter what they've done in the regular season, none of that matters now. Everyone in the post season is winless, yet undefeated. And the Cincinnati Bengals will play one more week than anyone else expected.
Indeed, everyone has a shot. And the Bengals may have the best chance at an upset on Wildcard weekend. They're playing a Texans team that has lost three straight and, like the Bengals, will start a rookie quarterback in the playoffs.

T.J. Yates and Andy Dalton will make NFL history in the AFC divisional round game between the Houston Texans and Cincinnati Bengals.

The Pac 12 Network and Dish TV have put together a deal. That probably means that a deal with DirecTV won't be far down the road. "DISH wanted to deliver Pac-12 Networks to its customers and our fans will benefit," said Gary Stevenson, President of Pac-12 Enterprises. "DISH's line-up and ability to offer Pac-12 fans nationwide access to an unprecedented number of live quality sporting events make this a huge day for DISH customers and Pac-12 fans."

The esteemed Sam Miller points out that over at Baseball Prospectus, the projected playoff odds for the Texas Rangers just reached 100%.↵
I know the playoff odds are more of a toy than a science, but this still has a "cop-taking-the-call-on-his-last-day-before-retirement" feel to it. The end of the first act is a Rangers fan staring at these and asking loudly, "What could possibly go wrong?"
It's still pretty danged cool to be a Rangers fan right now, though.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy today declared a state of emergency in advance of Hurricane Sandy's arrival to the state.
The Declaration of Emergency provides Malloy with a number of emergency powers, including the ability to modify or suspend state statutes, regulations, or requirements, including altering work hours or waiving licensing requirements, and the ability to order civil preparedness forces into action.
"The forecast path of Hurricane Sandy has convinced me that the signing of this declaration is necessary, and will help us react more quickly and effectively in the event of a serious weather event," Malloy said. "This storm needs to be taken seriously and just as the state is taking preparatory actions, I encourage the public and all of the state's utility companies to do the same."

TGW and Golf Locker are the most visible with markdowns. But if you shop around, especially at eBay, you will find some crazy good deals out there. I've seen the M Project as low as $49. And the retailers behind those places are pretty well known, so it's not some garage closeout guy.

I checked out a few other sites and the compliment of sizes and widths were limited. Thanks for the additional info. It's always best to exercise all options.
Look on EBAY and check out PRO GOLF SOUTH ........a good site with all kinds of FJ products. Always seem to have a wide selection.
Great prices on ICONS consistently
same with the countor casuals. i picked up that brown pair last spring for about half that.
If you want to save a few bucks on shipping and a PGA tour superstore is nearby, they have FJ sports for $114 for spiked and I saw spikeless for $79. Real limited sizes and colors, but you may get lucky. Unfortunately, I didn't.

Sean Lee just suplexed Mike Hart, of Michigan fame. It was beautiful. Hart left the game with a bruised ego. Then Lee followed up that satisfying tackle the very next play by intercepting Peyton Manning. Oh yeah, and then he ran it back for a TD. So much awesome in just two plays I nearly had a stroke.
So often I watch the NFL just for our players, it's been great to see Lee as a rookie really asert himself after all the adversity he faced in his last two years at Penn State.

Nothing short of a boots-on-the-ground American invasion of Syria would have satisfied these jokers. Prominent among them is Sen. John McCain, who views the diplomatic breakthrough as "an act of provocative weakness on America's part."
McCain, who has vigorously supported all nine of the nation's last three wars on about 316 TV talk shows, is never happy unless the U.S. is attacking somebody. Only violent solutions strike him as realistic. That's probably the single biggest reason he never became president.
Then there's Eliot A. Cohen, founding father of the Project for a New American Century, a now-defunct Washington pressure group whose messianic schemes for a U.S. empire stretching from the Mediterranean to Afghanistan inspired the Iraq War. Featuring such luminaries as Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz, to these geniuses, overthrowing Saddam Hussein was only the beginning. Next on their agenda was Iran, in case you wonder why the mad ayatollahs have been tinkering with nukes.
So anyway, just as President Obama was getting ready to ask Congress to endorse a punitive strike against Syrian chemical weapon sites, Cohen published a Washington Post column scolding Americans for their cowardice. The families of the war dead, he allowed, were entitled to their sorrow.
"But for the great mass of the American public," he wrote, "for their leaders and the elites who shape public opinion, 'war-weariness' is unearned cant, unworthy of a serious nation and dangerous in a violent world ... Americans can change the channel if they find the images too disturbing."
Got that, citizens? Shut up, pay your taxes and avert your eyes.
Next, the Obama administration pulled a large Russian rabbit out of its hat, leaving the neocons feeling foolish. For all the hugger-mugger about "red-lines" and the White House's odd decision to position a naval task force within striking range of Damascus before deciding to ask congressional permission, the end result was nevertheless remarkable.

I've been an avid photographer since I bought my first SLR in 1980. I love the visual world, with all its refreshing variety. I believe that photography enables me to capture fleeting moments, reflections of life. My business background was in the hospitality industry, primarily food and beverage. It was only natural to extend the people skills I learned there, to helping my photography subjects feel relaxed and at ease.
My second great love is language. A friend sent me a link to Blurb and I immediately saw a dynamic way to put these two passions together. I will have to buy my friend lunch ~ and show her my very first book....(smile)
On a more serious note, I sincerely believe that words and images compliment each other in ways that neither can totally do alone. What a wonderful tool for creating lasting memories!
