So with the call up of Dan Strailey and Mike Olt, my need to own prospects is tearing me apart. In a 16 team dynasty league, my roster is as follows
C- AJ Pierzynski, D. Mesoraco
1B- Hosmer, Rizzo, LaRoche
2B- Kipnis
3B- Zimmerman
SS- Andrus
OF- Braun, Trout, Upton, D.Jennings, Wil Myers
SP- J.Weaver, S. Strasburg, M. Moore, H. Bailey, B. Colon, AJ Griffin, S.Miller, D. Bundy, A.Cashner
RP/P- K. Jansen, V. Pestano, C. Stammen, D. Robertson, S. Marshall, G. Perkins
I have acquired the 1st waiver and either the 1st or 2nd pick in next years draft.
I MUST have Oscar Tavares
Do I use my waiver on Olt or Strailey and hope like hell that OT doesn't get called up? Or do I hold my waiver just in case and then take him in the draft if necessary.
Also, I'm open to other suggestions for my roster, if you feel necessary.

I just installed a 160GB 5400RPM hdd in place of my old 30GB 4200RPM hdd. I booted the computer from the Panther install disc one but all that appears is a grey screen with a circle/slash. I've tried resetting the PRAM and PMU and that didnt help.
Any advice?

Sometimes, change comes quietly. The Mutewatch may not have grabbed as many headlines as some of its competitors, such as the Pebble, the Phosphor or the iPod Nano watch. Still, over the past seven years, it has grown from a futuristic geek-toy (former Apple-CEO Steve Wozniak was one of its first public advocates) to a celebrated "in brand". At least in Europe its colorful plastic look and minimal design aesthetic, strikingly similar in style to the immensely successful Urbanears headphones, have caught on with the trend- and tech-savvy public in a big way. Without a single doubt, this success is less due to its technological innovations than its status as a fashion item. And yet, on closer inspection, there's a lot more to the Mutewatch than meets the eye.
In many respects, the Mutewatch is part of a new generation of electronic accessories and certainly closer to the Fitbit Force than, say, the Samsung Galaxy Gear. This is because neither the Mutewatch nor the Fitbit offer the kind of facilities which have become all but synonymous with smartwatches, such as updates on your email- or SMS-status, weather forecasts or keeping up with the social networks. Instead, they focus on a variety of specialised time tracking options. Whereas the Fitbit is aimed at runners, the Mutewatch has been designed for creatives, public speakers or anyone who wants to fully concentrate on a specific task without being disturbed by noisy alarms or outside distractions.
As you've probably figured out by now, it's all in the name here: The story behind the Mutewatch's birth is that founder Mai-Li Hammargren was looking for a way of getting up early in the morning without waking her boyfriend with a regular snooze alarm. Its silent ('mute') alarm works by causing the case to vibrate, which should, ideally, keep your partner sound asleep and your relationship intact. Of course, there are plenty of other scenarios where the same function will come in handy, too, allowing you to keep up your own working rhythm without disturbing anyone else in your proximity. For these reasons, the Mutewatch has occasionally been described as a 'time management tool' rather than 'just' a watch.
One of the concepts behind the Mutewatch is that it helps you reduce the constant white noise going on around you to focus on what's really important. Its options are certainly reduced to nothing but the bare minimum: A clock; up to five simultaneous alarms; and a countdown timer are all you'll get here. That may not sound like a lot. But that's only because we haven't yet touched on its biggest selling point, next to the vibration alarm. A unique touch screen with a 100 hz LED display, which doesn't work with e-ink and is generally very different than the ones built into the aforementioned competing smartwatches. The entire watch, including the display, is of one piece and made from a both extremely sturdy and flexible compound (Thermoplastic Polyurethane, in case applied chemistry is your thing).
So when touching the display, you'll get a far more direct and organic sensation and a lot more 'grip' than with most comparable watches – you can take the latter part quite literally, actually, as the watch pretty much feels as though it's made of rubber. On the upside, you won't ever get greasy fingerprints on this display. On the downside, anyone with a preference for more 'classy' materials like steel, glass and leather should stay away from it and the Mutewatch is also significantly less responsive than its e-ink counterparts. So you'll have to exert some pressure to trigger a response from the display. On the other hand, this is probably for the better, as you wouldn't want the settings to suddenly change by themselves when wearing the watch underneath your sleeve.
In terms of design, the Mutewatch undeniably makes for a stylish accessory – unless you're looking for a classic timepiece to accompany you to your next business meeting or date, that is. Other than the tiny silver closing mechanism, the watch is entirely uniform in color, including the digits on the display – with the exception of the black version, which has white numbers – and I've seen plenty of people over here matching it with their clothes or headphones. I really like the way the USB connector is cleverly hidden away inside the wristband, too. To distinguish it from just looking like a slightly thicker wristband, the display is tilted in a 15 degree angle from the band, which looks distinctive and also makes it easier to read.
At a mere 40 grams, the watch is very light, but thanks to the robust materials, it feels decidedly heavier than a cheap digital quartz watch and closes tightly around your wrist. Clearly, the Mutewatch has been designed as a futuristic timepiece and doesn't adhere to the familiar design tradition of watchmaking. But at the same time, it is very functional and, when worn on the wrist, doesn't actually feel artificial or plastic-y. You need to be aware, though, that although the display is 45mm across, it looks rather small on a man's wrist due to being quite narrow. Better try it on before ordering it online, therefore.... more »

HYATTSVILLE, Md. – The Big Shots All-American Camp at DeMatha Catholic High School features some talented players from all over the country.
NBE Sports was there to take in the action on Thursday and got to see eight of the 10 teams play as well as noticed quite a few college coaches in the gym.
Darian Bryant of St. John's College HS (DC) may not have a true position, but is best suited as a small forward right now. Regardless of what spot he plays, the 6-foot-4 class of 2014 prospect brings great effort when he steps on the floor and is a strongly built player. Bryant attacks the cup well and runs the floor adeptly. He needs to show he can shoot it consistently, but he did knock down at least one 3-pointer in the game we saw.
Class of 2014 prospect Lloyd Burgess might be limited athletically, but he has a big frame, quality height and he plays pretty hard. The 6-foot-10 center from the Christ School (NC) works around the rim and can get some points down low.
Kiair Crouch, a class of 2014 recruit, is a pretty quick player who can get in the lane and attacks the rim adeptly off the dribble. The 5-foot-10 point guard from Columbia (GA) has a pretty solid build and also showed he can hit a pull-up 3-pointer in transition.
Trevor Dunbar of St. Ignatius (CA) is only 5-foot-9, but the class of 2014 prospect is a nice player. The point guard has a thick build that helps him make up for being undersized a bit. Additionally, he accelerated well and does a good job of getting into the lane.

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. – With one Live Period in the books, the second of the month got underway yesterday night. NBE Sports was in the house at the Competitive Edge Sports Complex for The Hoop Group Summer Classic East.
While there, we had the chance to see five games featuring teams from the Northeast and took down some notes on player performances as well as tracked what college coaches were in the gym.
Bryce Aiken checks in at just 5-foot-9, but the class of 2016 prospect is a player. Aiken, who runs with the Team Scan 16s, is pretty quick and can get to the cup off the dribble. He is a crafty player who is capable of shooting it from long range some. Aiken is reportedly transferring to The Patrick School (NJ) for his sophomore year.
Mike Auger of the Mass Rivals is someone who certainly looks the part of a player when he is on the hardwood. The 6-foot-6 forward has a great build and fairly long arms. Auger, a class of 2014 prospect, needs to work on polishing up his overall skill set.

PHILADELPHIA – While the Reebok Breakout Classic is in the rear view mirror at Philadelphia University, there is still more basketball being played there this week.
The Showdown made the school its primary home on Saturday and NBE Sports was there to take in the action.
Peyton Allen of Glenwood (IL) checks in at 6-foot-4, but the class of 2014 shooting guard has a sturdy frame and plays bigger than he truly is. Allen, who runs with the Southwestern Illinois Jets Orange, works hard around the rim, can grab rebounds and provides good effort on the court. He also has a solid looking shooting stroke.
Eric Anderson of the Haverford School (PA) and the Jersey Shore Warriors is a productive small forward who can score at the rim. The 6-foot-6 class of 2014 recruit has a sturdy frame and is crafty with the ball when in the paint.
Gerald Blount may not have ideal size right now for a power forward, but the 6-foot-5 class of 2014 prospect still makes an impact on defense. Blount, who attends St. Anthony's (NJ) and plays for the Sports U 16s, has a good frame and does a nice job of blocking shots.
Traci Carter of the We R 1 16s and Life Center Academy (NJ) is a 6-foot point guard who does a good job of scoring at the rim. Carter, a class of 2015 prospect, is a bit thin, but does have a solid build overall. He is a good enough athlete who can get to the cup off the dribble.
Donte Divincenzo of the Team Final Black 16s is a skilled offensive player in the class of 2015. A 6-foot-3 combo guard out of the Salesianum School (DE), Divincenzo has a smooth game and rebounds the ball well at the defensive end, especially for his position. The rising junior has a solid frame and can connect from beyond the arc. Boston College, St. Joseph's and Rhode Island have extended scholarship offers since the live period ended this past weekend to join La Salle and Delaware, who previously offered. Pittsburgh is also beginning to show interest as well.

PHILADELPHIA – The first of three July Live Periods tipped off last night and NBE Sports was in the City of Brotherly Love for the Reebok Breakout Classic. Over 100 players made their way to Philadelphia University for the camp and the first night featured three sets of games.
NBE Sports focused on the games on court one on the opening night and got to see half the teams in action, allowing us to put together notes on quite a few players.
Eric Carter, a 6-foot-9 power forward from Jackson Memorial (NJ), is surprisingly good in transition for a post player. The class of 2014 recruit has a big frame and is adept at drawing fouls, but does have to do some work on finishing. However, he did have a game-high 16 points.
Noah Blackwell of Woodcreek (CA) may not be a big name on a national level, but the class of 2015 prospect is a nice talent. The 6-foot-1 point guard is a solid all-around player who can help his team in a number of ways and has shooting ability.
Class of 2014 combo guard Jeremiah Jefferson of Triple A Academy (TX) showed some major scoring ability. The 6-foot-2 combo guard had the highest point total on Court One on Wednesday, finishing with 18. He can shoot from beyond the arc and simply finds ways to produce.

HACKENSACK, N.J. – Eight teams made their way to Hackensack (NJ) High School on Sunday for the New Year's Jump-Off. The quartet of games featured only teams from the Garden State, but there was a great deal of talent on display, including a few players headed to high-major programs.
Reggie Cameron of Hudson Catholic is the easy choice of who turned in the day's best performance. The 6-foot-8 small forward dropped 30 points and may well have had more if he shot more the fourth quarter had the game been close. Cameron, ranked No. 62 in the NBE Sports Class of 2013 Post-July Top 125, also grabbed 12 rebounds, distributed the ball well and made his presence felt on defense. A big-time shooter from long range, the future Georgetown Hoya really had his shot going in this game. He has such a smooth stroke and possesses the size to get it off over most defenders. Cameron also scored from midrange and at the rim. The senior even displayed the ability to play the point, which is something he has not really done before. He blocked shots, found open teammates for buckets and was the best low post player in the game, despite being a three man. Cameron led his team to a 70-53 victory over Pope John XXIII and put on in absolute show in his home city of Hackensack.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — The third and final Live Evaluation Period of July got underway on Wednesday and NBE Sports was present at the ESPN Wide World of Sports for the 11th Grade AAU Nationals. Although due to the new July format there are not quite as many talented teams in action, there are still numerous quality squads in the event. There were several players who stood out on the first day of the tournament.
Derrick Griffin is an absolutely elite level athlete with truly incredible leaping ability. A 6'6 power forward from Terry (TX), Griffin is a 2013 prospect who has committed to Texas A&M as a football player. A member of the Houston Defenders, Griffin put on an absolute show in the squad's nationally televised game on Wednesday night. He as a great body, pretty good length and is both strong and powerful. He threw down a number of very impressive, crowd pleasing dunks and also swatted shots at the other end of the floor. Griffin rebounds the ball well and is an effective interior presence despite his relative lack of height. He is an exciting player to watch and he will have a nice career on the hardwood in the SEC if he plays both sports.

While "Live in AC" is only in its inaugural year that didn't stop New Jersey Playaz director Jimmy Salmon from putting together quite an impressive field of talent. I'll be camped out at the main Stockton College site throughout the tournament which features most of the 17U action with some of the younger guys sprinkled in. Here's who caught my eye on Wednesday night.
Top Performance of the Day:
Rysheed Jordan (Philly Pride 2013) – An electric scoring combo guard, Jordan played in two games on Wednesday night and was the best player on the floor in both including a matchup with Team Final that featured a bunch of high major talent. While Jordan refers to himself as a combo guard it's his ability at the point that stands out to me. He has unique athleticism for someone running the show and is able to use his physical advantages to explode past defenders and work his way into the paint. Jordan is best in the open floor when his physical tools can shine and his vision in high paced action also stands out. He has a great feel for the action in an up and down game and has a way of gliding through traffic and creating angles with his speed. In half court sets, Jordan punished defenders for playing off him by knocking down deep jumpers and then blew past them when they tried to press up on him. His decision making and knowledge of how to efficiently run a team still need work but Jordan's physical tools already make him a high major priority.

Friday afternoon in North Augusta brought 16U pool play at the Peach Jam along with a quick stop at the Nike Invitational. Here's who managed to standout while NBE was watching.
Top Performer of the Afternoon:
Obi Enechionyia (Team Takeover 2014) – At 6'8", the athletic forward showed off both an inside and outside scoring package. He flashed major bounce around the rim with a few ferocious dunks along with swatting away countless attempts at his own basket. While his work in the paint alone would have made Enechionyia a very intriguing prospect, he was also able to step out and make jump shots past the college 3-point line. The combination of owning the paint and being able to draw big men away from the rim by spacing the floor make it easy to project Enechionyia at the high major level for his college future. He needs to continue refining his ball handling and overall skill package and frankly could end up playing on the wing if his skills improve quickly enough.

Mequon, WI – Friday was filled with overtime games and wild action at the NY2LA Under Armour Summer Jam. NBE was on hand to witness some fantastic action and more stellar play. Provided is who stood out the most.
Top Performer of the Day
Derek Griffin (Houston Defenders 17s) – The Texas A&M football commit was the star amongst stars on Friday. Despite not putting up jaw-dropping numbers, Griffin was the definitely the most noticeable player. He had at least 5 highlight film dunks and raised his hand for an alley-oop on just about every possession. He may not every play a minute of college basketball but if he did ever decide to lace up his sneakers on the hardwood, he would be one of the more exciting forward prospects to play in some time. He is a shot blocking, rebound snagging specialist. He does not understand what he can do on the court and is offensive package is limited to lobs and putbacks. Despite his limited offensive arsenal, the kid is an amazing watch.

With pool play in full swing, Friday at the Peach Jam featured high profile games with star power all over the place. The morning set of games was highlighted by a standout point guard who doesn't always receive the recognition he deserves.
Top Performer of the Morning:
Rene Castro (BABC 2013) – BABC trailed by as many as 16 points in the second half of a morning game against Wisconsin Playground but Castro simply refused to lose. He showed incredible toughness in keeping his team together and attacking the rim relentlessly to fuel a comeback. While more effective off the dribble, Castro also made perimeter shots on his way to 10-14 shooting for 24 points. The numbers he put up and shots he made were impressive but it was the intangibles that stuck out to me. Castro's ferocity and intensity only got stronger with his team behind and the entire BABC squad seemed inspired by their leader. He acknowledged after the game that with the team shorthanded here at Peach Jam (Wayne Selden and Goodluck Okonoboh didn't make the trip) it was his responsibility to step up and be more of a scorer. Castro played that role brilliantly and showed the character and winning ways that are such strengths of his.

PHILADELPHIA – The first Live session of July came to an end yesterday evening, and NBE Sports was once again at Philadelphia University for the Reebok Showdown Series Championship. This time it was championship day of the event and it was Sports U that stole the show, beating the Jersey Shore Warriors, 82-74 in OT, to win the U16 division and then coming back to beat the Arkansas Hawks, 59-56, in the Showdown Division. Additionally, the NJ Cyclones knock off Team Nelson for the U17 crown.
DeAndre Bembry turned in a big-time performance in the championship game of the Showdown Division. The 6'6 combo forward from St. Patrick's (NJ) was easily the contest's top scorer, pouring in 24 points and was the only player on Sports U to finish in double-digits. Bembry, a class of 2013 prospect, is a superb slasher who makes his mark by getting to the rim off the bounce and finishing. He has a good body and is a big-time athlete. In the championship game he showed off some range, connecting on a 3-pointer at one point. Bembry rebounds the rock well, runs the floor well and simply produces.

PHILADELPHIA – For about eight months it looked like the college future for Josh Brown was all set as the 6-foot-3 point guard was committed to the Temple Owls.
However, he reopened his recruitment last month and, as NBE Sports learned from talking to him at the Reebok Showdown Championship, he now has an extensive list of suitors.
In fact, Brown, who attends St. Anthony's (NJ), has so many schools pursuing him now that he called over his Sports U coach, Eric Harrield, to help him remember them all.
According to Brown and his coach, the schools to extend offers are Read more

Contrast in communication sticks out
by Raphielle Johnson
The LeBron James Skills Academy, and other events like it, provide scouts and media with the opportunity to watch both collegiate and high school players work out in an instructional environment.
The final leg of Nike's skills academy series, the LeBron camp features 24 college and 93 high school basketball players.
One area that has displayed a stark contrast between the two groups through two days has been on-court communication.
While the college players, be it in drills or in scrimmage situations, consistently communicate with each other the same can't be said for the the high school stars.
This isn't incredibly surprising, but if anything the need for instructors to consistently remind the high school players of the importance of on-court communication underlines a major difference between the two levels.
An action as simple as calling out a screen for a teammate may not seem like a big deal, and in many instances pure athletic skill trumps the intangibles when evaluating young talent.
But those "little things" can ultimately be the difference between simply having a shot at being a pro and being able to make an impact as one. This will be something to keep an eye on as the high school players begin scrimmage play on Sunday afternoon.

Mass Rivals is another of New England's dominant AAU programs that was well represented at the Elite 75. Kaleb Joseph (2014 PG), Dmitri Floras (2014 PG), Idris Taqqee (2014 SG), Tyonne Malone (2016 SF) and Josh Sharma (2015 F) all suited up and were joined by injured stars Noah Vonleh (2014 F, ankle) and Jeremy Miller (2015 F, concussion.) Both Vonleh and Miller told me they expect to be healthy and ready to go for the kickoff of the July live period at the Adidas Invitational in Indianapolis. Chris Baldwin (2015 F) was also invited to the event but stayed home to nurse a sore back.
Of the Mass Rivals guys in attendance Kaleb Joseph had the best day attacking the basket in early drills and getting everyone else involved once five-on-five action got going. He caught up with NBE before things started to discuss his expanding recruitment. Read more

The Elite 75 took place on the campus of Umass-Lowell on Friday afternoon bringing together the top talent New England has to offer. All of the area's top AAU programs were represented including, but not limited t,o Expressions Elite, BABC, NE Playaz, Mass Rivals, CBC and the NY Lightning. I had the chance to catch up with players from all of those programs regarding their recruitment since the unlimited contact period started on June 15th. Starting with Expressions Elite, NBE Basketball will be profiling players from each of these six programs over the next few days.
Expressions Elite was well represented at this year's Elite 75 led by arguably the top 2 performers at the entire event in Jared Terrell (2014 SG) and Abdul-Malik Abu (2014 PF). Both were dominant in early skill development as well as full court 5 on 5 game action. Before getting started on their stand out days, both stars caught up with NBE regarding their burgeoning recruitment.

Clearing out the notebook from some recent updates we have gathered from players in the Class of 2013. We have updates below on Josh Brown, the Sports U/St. Anthony's (NJ) point guard that recently de-committed from Temple, Terrence Samuel, a NYC point guard who has been hearing the most for a couple schools since June 15th and Sam Singer, a scoring guard out of Florida who has a long list of schools looking to track him this summer.
Read on below for the lastest on each…
When news circulated that Josh Brown was backing off his verbal commitment to Temple which he made last Fall, we knew it wouldn't be long before his recruitment started to take off. Brown had been very impressive every time NBE saw him during the season at St. Anthony's as well as on the spring AAU period with Sports U. When we caught up with Brown yesterday he shared with us the schools that have been in contact with him since his decommitment, which also coincided with the June 15th opening of the unlimited contact period.

It came to a surprise of many yesterday when word spread that Josh Brown had decided to re-open his recruitment and back off of the verbal commitment he gave to Temple last fall. Brown had told many in the last year, even before committing to the Owls that they were his dream school.
Brown is a 6-foot-3, 190-pound point guard that plays for legendary coach Bob Hurley at St. Anthony's in Jersey (NJ) City. On the AAU trail he has been impressive with Sports U, leading the team to the Rumble in the Bronx championship last weekend over rivals the NJ Playaz. Here is what NBE National Recruiting Analyst Brian Bosworth had to say on Brown last weekend:
Every time I watch Brown play I'm more amazed that Temple was able to steal him away from the traditional Big East powers. He has been transitioning to the point over the past year after spending his youth on the wing and the process appears almost complete. A great decision maker and leader with elite athleticism to back it up, Brown is a top 50 player nationally that no one is talking about.

Andrew Chrabascz, a 6-foot-7 forward weighing 235 pounds out of Cushing Academy in Massachusetts, enters the summer AAU and camp season with plenty of eyes on him. Top mid-major programs galore have been recruiting Chrabascz and will hold their breath as he hits the AAU trail with powerful BABC for the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League championships at the Peach Jam and end of July events in Orlando (FL). High major programs continue to track the multi-faceted game of Chrabascz, who is a skilled power forward.
One thing is certain, Chrabascz will produce. He is almost like a Georges Niang-lite, whose production last year with BABC on the AAU trail pushed his recruitment from the mid-major range to a schoalrship to Iowa State with plenty of other programs in hot pursuit when he made his decision. On the Oakland leg of the EYBL regular season, Chrabascz showed he is continuing to work towards being an effective face-up 4, and his shooting out to 17 feet or so is worthy of such a position. He was also willing to go inside and mix it up, effectively working on the glass at both ends and also finishing in traffic.

The Rumble in the Bronx came to a close on Championship Sunday with winners being crowned in the 15U, 16U, and 17U divisions. The NJ Playaz took down the 15U crown, Team Scan the 16U, and Sports U was named 17U champions after a thrilling triple overtime win over arch rival NJ Playaz. I was camped out at John Jay College on Sunday which featured some early 16U playoff action followed by 17U semifinals and finals. While Sports U used a balanced attack en route to the championship, the Playaz had the day's best performer in the losing effort.
Top Performance of the Day:
Shane Rector (NJ Playaz 2013) – As mentioned the Playaz lost a heartbreaker to Sports U in the championship game but Rector was a dominant force individually throughout the day on his team's path to that game. His improvement over the past 12 months has been fun to watch and speaks to Rector's tireless work ethic. A year ago at the Rumble I wrote about Shane after he scored 25 or so points without taking a shot outside of 4 feet. His game used to be all to the rim with little to no outside shot in his arsenal. Fast forward a year and the 3 point shot has become a major weapon for Rector as defenders can no longer go under the screen without being punished. He has also improved drastically as a floor general running a team and being a leader. No longer just an athletic combo guard, Rector has successfully made the transition to a full time point and his recruitment should soon reap the benefits.
NBE's Alex Schwartz was able to catch up with Rector Friday night, along with Saturday's Top Performer Dayshon Smith, to get the latest on the recruitment of two of the spring's fastest rising guards, not only out of NYC, but in the nation: NYC Guards Shane Rector & Dayshon Smith See Recruitment Rise.

PHILADELPHIA – There were only a few game sets at the Philadelphia Reebok Showdown Series on Sunday, the final day of the event. As was the case on Day One, NBE Sports was there to catch some impressive performances and collect a few school lists.
Lamar Kimble: While he did not enter the weekend as the most well-known player on the Team Final Blue 15s, there is no question that Kimble was the squad's best performer in Philly. The 5'11 point guard out of Neumann-Goretti (PA) led the team to the title in the U16 age division. A true floor general who plays under control, Kimble handles the ball extremely well does a great job of distributing it. He has superb vision and is adept at finding the open man. Kimble has a nice spin move that he uses to get to the rack and he knows how to finish once there. Not a flashy player, Kimble just produces and gets things done on the court. He had a team-high 20 points in the championship game.

Banff's Outdoor Gear Leader Monod Sports Gets Involved With Rockies Ride for Kids Foundation
Banff, Alberta, July 5, 2012
Monod Sports
, Banff's original outdoor gear store, announced today its support of the Bow Valley's Rockies Ride for Kids Foundation. Created under the umbrella of the Bow Valley Community Foundation, The Rockies Ride for Kids Foundation was established in May 2007. The goal of the Foundation is to assist less fortunate children in the Bow Valley (mainly the Alberta communities of Lake Louise, Banff, Canmore and Exshaw) with gaining access to organized sporting programs.
Monod Sports is all about providing people with the best outdoor sports equipment and clothing for people of all ages. Because of the Monod brothers' family history and experience with Canadian and international ski racing, Monod Sports has developed an exceptional reputation with organized sporting programs in and around the Bow Valley. Having the privilege of growing up here in Banff, the Monod brothers developed a passion for outdoor sports, especially their love for skiing. The Monod brothers continue their family's life-long devotion to Canadian ski racing and know how important it is to encourage and help the next generation of not only junior ski racers, but all children interested in organized sporting programs.
"We feel this foundation is very important for the children and their families here in and around the Bow Valley. I was fortunate enough to have ski racing growing up, and I will never forget all the good memories of being a part of a team and the ski program. We at Monod Sports believe that no kid should be left on the sidelines and all should be given the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of organized sports," stated Peter Monod, Part Owner of Monod Sports.
Although the Bow Valley is perceived by many to be affluent, there are many families struggling to make ends meet financially and unfortunately this means organized sporting activities are out of reach for their children. The creators of the Foundation, three Canmore residents, recognized an opportunity to create an endowment fund where assistance can be provided indefinitely to children in need. And when Monod Sports was approached with an opportunity to get involved, there was no hesitation.
To date, funds from Monod Sports to the Foundation have been dispersed to support the Sunshine Adaptive Ski Program, the Bow Valley chapter of KidSport, Canmore Minor Soccer, the Canmore Illusions Gymnastics Club, Canmore Minor Hockey, the Rundle Mountain Cycling Club, the Canmore Cohos Swim Club and the Banff Alpine Racers.
"We continue to look for other beneficiaries where a direct and significant impact can be attained and thank Monod Sports for their generous contributions over the last few years," comments the Bow Valley Community Foundation.

PHILADELPHIA, PA– Did you know that the solutions to global issues such as hunger, poverty, energy, and education are being formed right here at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia?
Over the last five years, students and young professionals from five continents and 35 countries have come to the Design Science Lab, hosted at Chestnut Hill since 2008, where they have been briefed from representatives from the United Nations Development Program and Environmental Program, UNESCO, UNICEF, WHO and other world agencies. As a result of these meetings, comprehensive strategies are developed for solving some of the world's most critical problems such as poverty, hunger, education, and sustainability. Participating students then have the opportunity to present their solutions to the United Nations. In the laboratory, participants focus on career skills such as strategic design and planning methodologies as well as leadership, problem solving and the design revolution concepts. The results from these labs were recently published into the book, "Designing a World That Works for All: How the Youth of the World are Creating Real-World Solutions for the UN Millennium Goals" by Medard Gabel (2010). This book outlines the results from the labs from the past five years, and includes photos and information. The book is divided into sections that outline the issue and the solutions that the laboratory created. Sections include: Food and Water for All, Clean Energy for All, Education for All for Life, Global Health for All, and Fair Economic Systems and Sustainable Life for All. "Designing a World That Works for All" is important because it documents just how successful we can be— that we can meet the basic human needs of everyone in the world —and regenerate the environment at the same time," says Medard Gabel. "It also shows that we can afford to do what is right, and it demonstrates that feeding, sheltering, educating, and providing health care to everyone in the world— not just those of us lucky enough to be born in the richer areas— is the most cost-effective and productive thing we can do for increasing our own wealth and standard of living." Medard states, "The fact that the book was largely the result of young people coming together from all over the world and developing the ideas and strategies for change is phenomenal. The fact that Chestnut Hill College hosts the lab is testimony to their vision and commitment to making the world work for everyone— as well as their commitment to providing their students opportunities that go beyond those of other colleges." The book is available for download and purchase at http://designsciencelab.com/book/ . For more information about the Design Science Lab Book or about the Global Solutions Lab, please contact Medard Gabel at email@example.com

Queen in buoyant mood after Prince's christening
The Queen was in buoyant mood after Prince George's christening, telling guests at a Buckingham Palace reception how much she had enjoyed the event.
She greeted the Bishop of London The Right Reverend Richard Chartres - who had been at the St James's Palace service earlier today - with a warm smile.
The Queen, wearing a metallic blue and taupe dress with matching jacket by Angela Kelly, gave a gesture of mock surprise as she told him: "I haven't seen you for such a long time."
Discussing the christening, she added: "It was very nice though, wasn't it?"
The Bishop also spoke to the Duke of Edinburgh about George's behaviour during his special day, commenting: "Ah, he behaved!"
He was one of the guests at the reception for The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust, of which he is patron.
Others in attendance included former Prime Minister Sir John Major, who is chairman of the board of trustees, and Secretary of State for International Development Justine Greening.

I enjoy collecting sea glass, and one of my favorite places to be is at the beach, basically any beach. Warm is better. No crowds required. Here's some of our finds from this trip:
I don't think I mentioned here that we were taking a trip, but in early January we were lucky enough to be able to gather all of our children, the new fiancé included, and take a week on a warm tropical beach. With grown up children who have jobs, two still in college and our own work…well finding a whole week together is a gift. With much planning, negotiation, and not a bit of angst, we somehow made it happen.
It was a really special time. We've not been through the process of bringing a new family member into the fold. It's a bit complicated, isn't it? It turned out to be a wonderful week, one of fun and relaxation and bonding. Friendships were deepened between our children and our son's intended, and Grant and I began to wrap our minds around the idea that we will soon have 4 children. We so want it to be like that. We have our fair share of typical dysfunctions, yet our family is close and we want to bring our son's chosen in, to accept her and come to love her. After a week with the kids, they flew back home and we flew to Florida for two weeks alone. It was so needed; a very restorative and relaxing time to reconnect and enjoy. And, YES, my new hormone treatment is making a difference…the zing is reappearing. I'm not 100%, but I feel more like myself than I have in a year!
So, we're back from an amazing 3 week vacation, back from our hiatus from DD, and back to ourselves. I think we will be continuing to develop a new version if us as a couple, a bit tweaked, but we have the past years to rely on as a basis. We know how to ride the bike, and that helps a lot.
A few things that have surprised me (so far) as we rev up DD:
Grant is a bit hesitant to push his authority as I am to accept it. Not that he's very hesitant or I am very resistant, but we're clearly out of practice and we've been catching ourselves in small things, moments of indecision on BOTH our parts. Muscles that don't get used do get soft!Once Grant found his place as the HOH years back, he was pretty set in his ways and comfortable. Now, he's working up to what will be right for us now….who we've become almost 8 years later, since we first began DD.
The punishment we went through while away was pretty hard on both of us, emotionally. I was compliant enough, but truly, deep in my heart, if he had changed his mind…and he seemed (to me) to be possibly wavering right before he started, I would have been fine with that. And that's different as well. I think I am less interested, or needy (?) in terms of knowing I'll be punished if necessary, and maybe part of me is kind of a tiny bit surprised that women in their mid-fifties, a woman whose son is getting married, a woman who will be a grandmother a few years out, a woman like me, is still is still going to get spanked!
You see, he seemed to be wavering, once I got there. He demanded I go right in the bedroom and take my pants off. He followed me in 2 minutes, sat on a chair and insisted I go over his lap. And then we just…well he had me lay there, his hand on my bottom, holding that blasted ebony hairbrush that I thought was a good idea years ago to buy on Ebay (WHAT was I thinking?) …and then nothing.
Finally he spoke. But it wasn't scolding (yet) or anything about me really. His words were about him and us:
Grant: "I want you to understand that I really don't want to do this."
Sara: "Oh…well…ok." "
Sara: "Um…so what do you want to do?"
"I really don't want to hurt you. It hurts me to hurt you."
"Have you changed your mind? We don't have to do this." (Little happy dance begins in my head)
Grant: "I'm still very upset with you."
Sara: "I understand and I'm really sorry for what I did. It was awful."
Grant: "I know you're sorry."
….and I'm still OTK. (Not the most comfortable position may I point out??)
Sara; "Do you want to not do DD anymore, or for now, not have punishments? Is that what you are saying?"
Grant: "Oh absolutely not! You're getting punished and I'm still very angry with you! I just wanted to let you know I wish I didn't have to.
Sara: "Yah…well me too!"
So close to escape…and yet…not. But it was interesting that he had to take time to work himself up to a true punishment. As much as my husband enjoys spanking me, and he truly does, punishments are still hard. I'm kind of glad too. They shouldn't be easy for eihter of us. I'm not sure how I would have felt if he had backed out. In the past I know I would have been, strangely disappointed. I think at this time in my life, where I am with TTWD, which is different from it was several years ago, I would have been simply relieved.
But, would it have been the beginning of the slide down that slippery slope of disrespect, of knowing that at the end of the day, I do what I do and consequences are not going to be a part of our marriage, at least not the kind he's in charge of, which at the end of the day means he wouldn't really be in charge of me or us? It looks like I won't have the chance to find out…but I expect that is exactly what would unfortunately happen, should he allow it. Where a vacuum of authority exists, something or someone will rush to fill it.
So that's where we are…rebuilding what we have, this thing we do.
A funny side note, as we cuddled in bed after the spanking, I asked him why he never removed my panties. He looked surprised for a moment. He never leaves them on for a punishment! He softly chuckled and said:
Grant: "You know, I was so aggravated with you I simply forgot!"
Sara: "Hmmm, works for me!"
Grant: Swat, "Brat!"
Sara: "Ow!"

I have never been a fan of fancy food. You know…the weed salads and small portions. I prefer Outback where the food is good and you get more bang for your buck. However, I recently had this at a fancy luncheon at the coach's house for the player's wives and couldn't stop eating them. I asked the caterer what it was and then went home and googled the ingredients and Giada's recipe came up.
Don't be scared by the Gorgonzola. It wasn't overpowering. At least mine wasn't. The sweet/salty combo is perfect. It's easy and appears gourmet. I was on the phone with my sister when I fixed these and John had just walked in the door from work. When I got off the phone only three were left…THREE. The only drawback to these is they are best when right out of the oven so probably best to be made at your own home instead of taken to a function.
Bruschetta with Gorgonzola Cheese and Honey
36 slices (1/2-inch thick) baguette bread, about 1 loaf
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces Gorgonzola, crumbled
4 tablespoons honey
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Arrange the sliced baguette on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil. Bake until the bread is pale golden and crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
Arrange the cheese on the toasts and bake until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.
Drizzle the toasts with honey. Place on a serving platter and serve immediately.

So we are all pretty much split on where to go with our first pick, its pretty obvious we have more then 1 hole to fill and with no free agency in sight i started to think, if we cant find a clear cut player for that 23rd pick why dont we trade down and get more picks on the middle of the draft? I went and looked around to what teams have extra picks and which would work and I started crunching the numbers I used the Draft Value Chart for 2011 on Walter Football and I found a trade which would work out with the Broncos. The eagles would give up the 23rd, 54th and 104th picks and we would receive the 36th, 46th and 67th. If this were to happen the Eagles would move back 13 spots from round 1 to round 2 but in turn get 2 second round picks and 2 third rounders.
Overall Eagles Picks
Round 2 - 36
Round 2 - 46
Round 3 - 67
Round 3 - 85
Round 4 - 120
Round 5 - 149, 153
Round 7 - 229, 237, 240
I guess im wondering would you be happy with this move by the eagles to move back and get 2 solid players int he early second round or would you prefer to draft at 23 and wait until the 54th pick for our next move?

R-MC has a strong tradition of service to others.
Randolph-Macon College has a strong tradition of service to others.
In keeping with this tradition, R-MC's chapter of Habitat for Humanity was awarded
a State Farm Matching Grant in October 2012 and students have been working tirelessly
all year to fundraise for Hanover Habitat for Humanity.
A campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity is a student-led, student-initiated organization
that partners with the local Habitat affiliate to build, fundraise, advocate and
educate to support the work for Habitat for Humanity.
R-MC students raised $2,000 to donate to Hanover Habitat for Humanity, and State
Farm matched that amount. The Randolph-Macon College Campus Chapter is one of 27
campus chapters to be awarded a matching grant from State Farm. The money will go
toward constructing a house for a family in Hanover County.
"Under the direction of R-MC's Megan Senske and Christina Cozart, the Randolph-Macon
College Chapter has become a driving force, providing significant financial support
and volunteer engagement to Hanover Habitat for Humanity," says Tim Bowring, executive
director of Hanover Habitat for Humanity. Cozart is a member of the Hanover Habitat
Board of Directors and a co-advisor for R-MC's chapter.
"For Hanover Habitat, this grant brings a family one step closer to home ownership,"
says Cozart. "Our local affiliate is truly proud. I am equally proud to watch our
chapter members grow and challenge themselves. They reached out to the community
to raise this money and their hard work has paid off."
The R-MC Habitat chapter was not alone in raising the money for the matching grant.
Local Hanover schools and businesses that hosted fundraisers to help raise the proceeds
include: Patrick Henry High School, First Union Market Bank, Chickahominy Middle
School, Liberty Middle School, Duncan Memorial Church and St. James the Less Episcopal
"Raising $2,000 can be a daunting task but everyone worked really hard and I'm proud
to say we surpassed that goal," says Cara DeCesare '13, treasurer.
"It was great to work closely with our Hanover affiliate and we look forward to
more collaborations with them!"
In 2011-12, R-MC students collectively amassed more than 10,000 volunteer hours.
Students in R-MC's Fraternity and Sorority
Life contributed more than 5,000 hours of collective service to the community,
collected 550 pounds of canned food, donated 35 school-supply baskets, and donated
$9,388.74 to various organizations. In addition, $30,000 was raised and donated
to the American Cancer Society from the annual Relay for Life. The
SERVE program, in the Office of Student Life,
is an integral part of Randolph-Macon's Leadership and Service Initiatives.

From The Daily Star: John Ruiz on David Haye "He's quicker than anyone I've ever fought. He came prepared. He knew what he was doing and I've got to give him credit. He's a credit to British boxing and a worthy champion." Ruiz on his future: "I've been in this game a little too long. Sometimes you realize that you need to move on with your life. Maybe this is the time. That's something I have to talk to the family about." (Photo by Michael Steele / Getty Images)
David Haye weighs in at 222, while John Ruiz weighs in at 231. This is Haye's heaviest weight by five pounds, while Ruiz is in the middle of the same range he's fought at the entire past decade. Photo from Sky Sports.
"He's been around for years, nothing got under his skin or rattled him, it all bounced off him. I've looked into his eyes today for the first time and he was cool, calm and collected. I didn't faze him at all. He wasn't flustered, he wasn't nervous." --David Haye, admitting his trash talk didn't bother John Ruiz at all (AP Story @ USA Today)
Press release about John Ruiz: "After knocking out Adnan Serin in Germany (Nov. 7), 2-time World Boxing Association heavyweight champion John "The Quietman" Ruiz returned home to Las Vegas, where he's shown in this photo celebrating in his game room smoking one of his favorite cigars, Padron Serie 1926 80th Anniversary. Ruiz, the first and only world heavyweight champion of Latino heritage, has a mandated WBA title fight against new champ David Haye next year. It will mark Ruiz' 12th world title fight." I know a lot about John Ruiz thanks to his frequent press releases. Truthfully, I've come to like him, because I get so many glimpses into his life and he seems like such a nice dude. Maybe you also like cigars, and have some sort of comment on his cigar choice here. I don't know. But now you know.
Nikolai Valuev celebrates his unanimous decision win over John Ruiz yesterday in Berlin to capture the vacant WBA heavyweight title. Scores were 114-113, 116-113, and 116-111. (AFP/DDP/Michael Gottschalk)

"Now that I'm on UFC, I can focus exclusively on my trainings, in my future. Before I didn't have enough money to buy stuff. I have a girlfriend, Thalita, and sometimes I wanted to take her out for a nice meal and I couldn't afford it. Now I can go out with her and it what I want… So it's much better ... Literally a dream. Now, I'm not great. But I can buy my stuff. Well, I bought a new closet. My house is humble, who knows me I almost live on a slum. Now, thanks God, if my girlfriend says: 'Baby, I want to eat a cheeseburger with salad today', I can afford it. If my friend comes to ask me: 'Charles, I'm feeling like eating something but I can't afford it', I go there and help him. I'm a humble guy, I like to help my friends. Thanks God I'm living my dream, a new life."
Undefeated lightweight sensation Charles Oliveira (14-0), fresh off his "Submission of the Night" against Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 8 champion Efrain Escudero at UFC Fight Night 22 in Austin, Texas, tells Tatame.com that he's ready for whatever the promotion can throw at him, including Jim Miller at UFC 124, as he plows through the crowded 155-pound division. "Do Bronx" is just 20-years-old and has already created quite a buzz for his performances and penchant for finishing his opponents. Anyone want to give the over/under on a future title fight for this talented Brazilian? Six months? One year? Never?

Woman killed in Port St. Lucie after walking in front of deputy's patrol car
PORT ST. LUCIE — Port St. Lucie resident Karen Kelly, 55, has been identified as the pedestrian killed after walking into the path of a deputy's car Tuesday night, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Investigators said her relatives don't know why she was out on the road alone at night.
FHP spokesman Tim Frith said there are no plans to file charges against road patrol Deputy Mathew Brewster, 26, who was driving east on four-lane Prima Vista Boulevard's inside lane at 9:57 p.m. when Kelly walked into the path of his marked patrol car just east of Lima Court. She collided with the left side of the vehicle as she was walking across the highway, from north to south.
Kelly ended up face down in the center turn lane as the patrol car veered to the right, according to the FHP. The location is in a suburban section of Port St. Lucie between the St. Lucie River and Floresta Boulevard. A CVS pharmacy is at the intersection near where accident occurred.
Brewster finished his shift and remains on duty, according to sheriff's officials. He started working for the sheriff's office Jan. 29.
The Sheriff's Office declined to comment about the accident, citing that the FHP is handling the investigation.

Lighting with Lindsey: First time with a real model!
Yesterday (Thursday) I arrived back at Chris' apartment building in the pearl. He came down to let me in and then we went into his apartment, where his pleasant girlfriend Lindsey was cleaning the dishes. I was surprised to realize that I was comfortable with how to set up the backdrop and lighting with Chris in his apartment. I remembered how to set up the lighting with the umbrellas and everything! After setting everything up, Chris went through about 20 of my own photos I had printed out on normal paper for him. He went through with a huge sharpie and marked the lines that were present in the photograph, and was not soft when it came to criticism. Honestly I really liked how constructive he was with each photo, telling me straight up if it was an interesting composition or no. He even put checks by his favorite ones! I was really excited to have someone actually go through my favorite photos of mine and show me what they saw as a professional. It was really cool. We then went through some of my favorite photos by others (I learned quickly that he really doesn't like the Ballerina Project, which I had included two photos by them...woops). He told me about the Fibonacci Spiral (which is technically a mathematical term...who knew that so much physics and math would be included in photography. Great!). He also suggested I look up the photographer Dave Black as well as the website 500px.com. I have yet to do this becuase I've been editing photos of Lindsey from yesterday! Isn't she drop dead gorgeous?
Of course I was taking notes, and to give a little peek here's what one of my pages says:
(Single) Lighting Setups-w/key light-
Straight on with light @ eye level
Catch lights in pupils, gives high fashion look
To the side
Creates shadows and contrasts
Straight on=boring
Hair light= from behind (ish) lighting hair
Hope you like the photos! These are just the few I wanted to edit and then a few unedited ones. Chris let me take home a ton of his lighting equipment to play with! So this morning I took photos of Raina and my mom before they zoomed off to school. I'll post them in my next blogpost. Oh and Chris sent me two photos of me working with him and Lindsey!
This internship has turned into me getting free lessons from Chris...which is just plain awesome!

Marine Monday: Antarctic Krill
What do blue whales, penguins and salmon have in common?
They all have the same diet. Much of the ocean is fed by a two-inch crustacean: krill. Antarctic krill congregate in huge masses in the Southern Ocean, dense enough to fill the belly of a blue whale, the world's largest animal.
Penguins will march hundreds of miles to feast on krill, building up blubber that will help them survive their cold months on land. Even flying seabirds will dive in and partake of the abundance.
Without this tiny creature, the ocean would starve. But like so much else in the ocean, krill's future is in danger. It is also a popular food for salmon, giving the fish's meat that distinctive pink color. When humans build fish farms for predatory fish like salmon, we need to feed them. And that means that humans are now fishing krill to feed our farms, taking away potential meals from whales, penguins, and other wild creatures.
Oceana is working to prevent the overfishing of krill and the other small creatures that keep the oceans' food chain going. To learn more about marine animals like Antarctic krill, visit our marine wildlife encyclopedia.

No, I'm not talking Mora, nor coaches at all. This offensive line consists of 5 guys in five cubicles executing five single jobs instead of moving together and in rhythm and with purpose. Sean Locklear said Brain farts mental mistakes I say it's that no one on that line is taking command and getting everyone to follow their lead. Lofa leads and facilitated the defenses that lead this team to the playoffs in 2006 and 2007. The line has never had anyone to truly point to that leads that line outside the coaches barking at them. When is it that we stop looking at all the excuses and look at the leadership from players. Leadership isn't a flashy stat or a big slash run or a catch. It is the key reason teams that are good stay good.
Leadership, without it, you can draft all you want, you can sign anyone you want, but without those guys that set a tone and command attention and trust of their teammates this team won't win any divisions or playoffs and won't even dream of superbowl games.
The "I lead by example" argument is a common praise we heaped on Walter. Well, your example is done, so what is this team left with?

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Climb up easy rock to the high first bolt (there's a pin to clip down low if you're worried). The crux comes around the 3rd bolt with good, sustained, and thoughtful climbing before and after. Above, you'll latch on to some big pockets before finishing on easier terrain to the anchors. This climb trends right the entire way and you may feel slightly perplexed at some of the moves as spots are devoid of straight-on edges to pull on, instead relying on a lot of sidepulls and pinches with feet out right. Good rock throughout this climb with enjoyable movement.
After coming up the approach trail, hike left along the base, passing underneath The Tube and the other initial climbs. Just past the section along the cliff where you have to step across some gray limestone (2nd class moves) you are at the base of Ramp Festival. Starts at about the same belay stance as California Dreamin'.
6 bolts and anchor.

Now that the presidential election has been decided, some of the focus shifts to the race for Illinois governor.
Republicans are already tossing around some names to challenge Gov. Pat Quinn in 2014. Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford and State Senator Kirk Dillard say they'll announce their plans next week.
Congressman Joe Walsh, defeated in Tuesday's election, also is considering a run. Walsh says as governor he would veto last year's income tax increase.
On the Democratic side, Mayor Daley's brother Bill is said to be considering a challenge to Gov. Quinn.

Meet the Disruption Hippies – 1967 vs 2011
- Joshua M Brown
- June 1st, 2011
We have a new type of hippie in 2011, only our modern hippies are much more lovable and productive for society at large than whatever was rolling around in its own filth 50 years ago.
In this the Digital Age, the Era of Web 2.0, we have Disruption Hippies. I know this firsthand as I got into a debate with one the other day who would literally stand in front of a firing squad if you told him that it was a peer-to-peer execution. You've probably met your share of "social media gurus" by now, too.
The Disruption Hippies or "Socials" will tell you that every idea with a catchy URL is a good one and that it doesn't matter who we "connect with" as long as we are constantly connecting to everything and creating profile after profile no matter how trivial the service. I don't care, it's cute and I'm basically just clicking everywhere they tell me to at this point, whatever.
There are some pretty easy parallels to draw between the hippie culture of the 1960s and the hacker culture of 2011. I've put together the below infograph to help me illustrate my point:
