There are many WR's and CB's in Free Agency this year that could drastically improve the 2 worst positions on our team. Here is a look at a few relatively cheap options. Some of these are Free Agents, and some are possible Cap casualties on their team.
Wide Reciever:
Mohamed Massaquoi- Massaquoi hasn't played the way the Browns would have wanted him to when they drafted him 4 years ago, they are expected to let him go due to a lackluster 4 seasons. Massaquoi however, has the talent to be a very reliable option in the NFL, especially in the redzone, just maybe not with the Browns. He will be cheap.
Anquan Boldin- As it stands, the Ravens are 5 million over their Cap, and that's before resigning Flacco for an estimated 20 million. They are going to have Cap casualties, and Anquan Boldin may very well end up being one, despite being a very vital part to the Ravens playoff run. Let's face it, Anquan Boldin is a TE playing Wide Reciever, any team would love to have him.
Brandon Loyd- Loyd underachieved in New England, however, New England doesn't know how to use a receiver like Loyd. Loyd won't be as big a name as he was last year, but that's exactly why I think we should sign him.
Denario Alexander- Alexander is an explosive guy that was under-utilized in St. Louis. He could make a very reliable #2.
Champ Bailey- Champ Bailey is expected to be be a possible Cap casualty. He was rated as the 10th best corner in 2012.
Chris Gamble- Gamble is expected to get cut by the Panthers, who are 16 million over the cap. Gamble has good cover skills and would add a lot to a secondary that needs help.
Aquib Talib- Talib was New England's best corner this year, and it was obvious that he was gone when he got injured in the AFC championship. Talib may or may not be resigned by the Pats, we should keep an eye on him.
Nnamdi Asomugha- Yet another possible cap casualty. He hasn't had the best year, but could do well in Miami with some confidence.
Sheldon Brown- Brown is a pretty good cover corner and would add a lot to our secondary. He may or may not be resigned.

There's been so much said about the phx series, and rightly so. It will go down as one of my favorite SPURS playoff series' of all time and I think it represented more than just a first round victory (as someone else already elaborated on). It was rewarding on so many levels, and vindicative as well. I will continue to relive this series for quite some time, watching videos and rereading posts and write-ups. And I definately can't wait for Stampler's recap of Game 5 and of the entire series. Pure beauty, beating those guys that are so cannonized by the media in only 5 games.
But.... the celebration is over.
For now, I think it's time to move ahead. One of my favorite qualities of the Tim Duncan era has always been the professionalism and poise in moving towards the final goal. I love that even announcers always notice that the SPURS don't celebrate or even overly show emotion after getting through an opponent in a round of the playoffs. I love seeing most other teams dogpile each other and break into tears and high-fives after winning a series, while the SPURS show little regard to winning "battles." We've always seemed to recognize that the goal is to win the war. The goal is a championship, and until that is achieved, we're consistantly moving forward and looking to tomorrow. Let phx and it's blog pontificate on the merits of the SPURS/suns series; we're already down the road. It's not like we're all going crazy or celebrating TOO much already, I just think it's time we looked ahead and ended our relief at getting through the suns. Our next opponent will present many new challenges and tests, and we're more than ready for the match-up. This week has been awesome as a SPURS fan, and next week will be awesome too. Congrats fellow SPURS worshippers, but now it's time to prepare....
Bring on the New Orleans Hornets!!! I'm going out right now and saying SPURS in 5. Ballsy, but I have very high confidence right now that we're stopping CP3 and we're using our experience and superior coaching to blow through this young upstart. If we execute properly and play our game, there's no reason to think that we'll go 7 as some "experts" have already decided. Our playoff defense and focus is something this team has yet to experience; and as I've said before, I don't see anyone beating Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, and Pop 4 out of 7 games right now.

Teammates to testify against Lance
Thu July 5, 2012 7:04pm
UPDATE: CADEL Evans' Tour de France guardian angel is refusing to comment on claims he confessed to doping with Lance Armstrong.
Dutch newspaper De Telegraf is reporting Hincapie and three other US riders are have admitted to doping and will be banned at the end of the season for six months.
Hincapie, 39, has already indicated he will retire at the end of the year after contesting a record 17th Tour de France.
Phil Anderson names four stages that will decide the Tour
Armstrong has been charged by the US Anti-Doping Agency of running a clandestine doping ring with five other men for much of his career.
If found guilty, the Texan almost certainly will be stripped of his seven Tour de France victories.
Hincapie refuses to comment on claims
Hincapie has ridden on nine winning Tour teams - seven with Armstrong and one each with Evans and Alberto Contador, who is serving a suspension for doping offences.
Hincapie refused to comment on the explosive claims ahead of tonight's sixth stage from Rouen to Saint-Quentin.
"I'm here to race the Tour de France," he said. "I'm here to help Cadel win the Tour."
Hincapie is one of four former Armstrong team-mates contesting the Tour who are alleged to have confessed to doping and testified against the seven-time Tour de France winner, according to De Telegraaf.
Hincapie, Levi Leipheimer, Christian Vande Velde and David Zabriskie are said to have given evidence in the USADA investigation.
All four recently asked not to be considered for the London Olympic Games.
Garmin-Sharp team boss Jonathan Vaughters was also named in the De Telegraaf report but it is not clear whether he will face suspension.

After voting in Louisiana for the first time in five years yesterday, I think I understand how third-party types feel now.
It's not just that the governor's race and many others were so imbalanced that they compare with many Third World nations on the healthy-democracy scale;
It's not just that what opposed races are out there tend to be between Republican and Tea Party Republican;
It's not just that half the Republicans are Democrats who turned GOP because that's what everyone's wearing this fall;
It's not just because we have a nationally ridiculed primary system that actually has "jungle" as a descriptor;
It's not just because Louisiana is home to some of the most creative, personal, vicious smear campaigns in the U.S.;
Hell, everything I could list just wouldn't be enough.
Everybody here jokes about Louisiana's model of political bizarreness, but it took me several years of voting in Missouri to truly grasp the magnitude of it. In Missouri, you don't register by party; they have open primaries where you choose a ballot (Democrat, Republican, third-party). In general elections, you fill out a Scantron-style card and slide it through a scanner. But most importantly, there's still a healthy give-and-take between parties there. It's a conservative state, but both parties represent well. You don't see incumbents switching parties as a blatant vote grab. Extremism on either side is tempered because the electorate — sit down — won't stand for it. There's none of the presumption that everyone is right or far right like there is in Louisiana. And that's what made every vote I ever cast there feel worthwhile, even when my people lost.
I didn't feel that way yesterday. Granted, I've never aligned myself with the prevailing ideologies in Louisiana; but in the past, I at least felt like I could try to check it. But it looks like Louisiana's finally finished its swing from one one-party system to another. That brief two-party interlude was fun while it lasted.
Will my vote ever count again?

Veteran DE-OLB Jason Taylor is returning to Miami, he announced on his Facebook page.
"We are very excited to share with all of you that Jason has made his decision regarding where he is playing for the upcoming 2011 season. Jason is coming home to MIAMI and will once again proudly wear the aqua and orange!" it said on the Jason Taylor Foundation page.
Taylor spent his first 11 seasons with the Dolphins before joining the Redskins in 2008. He returned to Miami in '09 and started 15 games but played for the rival Jets in 2010.
Last season, Taylor played in all 16 games with five starts and recorded five sacks. He has 132.5 sacks in his 14-year career.
The way we see it
The Dolphins needed another rush linebacker opposite OLB Cameron Wake, who had a breakout season a year ago. Koa Misi impressed in his rookie year, but Taylor is an upgrade and presumably would like to finish his career in Miami.

text: Iowa U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley was among 18 senators who voted against a measure that reopened the federal government and avoided a financial default. Grassley, a Republican, says he voted Wednesday night against the measure worked out by Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell because it did nothing to address the nation's debt. Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, a Democrat, voted in favor of the measure. The measure was approved 81 to 18 in the Senate. Meanwhile in the House, the measure was passed by a 285-144 vote. One of those no votes was by Iowa's 4th District congressman Steve King. He appeared on CNN last night King went on to say he would have rather kept the shutdown going because this battle was the "last tool in the tool box" before Obamacare went into effect.

DALLAS -- For the first time, members of the public are getting to listen to presentations and ask questions about the DISD Home Rule initiative Thursday night.
The face of the Home Rule initiative is a non-profit group called Support Our Public Schools (SOPS).
SOPS is pushing the overhaul of governance at DISD, which must first be supported by roughly 25,000 petition signatures. Once that happens, the board of trustees would appoint a committee to craft recommendations on exactly how DISD should be locally run.
The founders of the movement are a handful of Dallas residents whose faces most won't recognize, but they have the support of Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, who said he wants change at DISD and wants it now.
"I think what I'm trying to say is we've got such a serious situation that we are going to have to do something disruptive," Rawlings said. "Incremental steps are not going to help a fourth grader in his or her next eight years."
But six months ago, Rawlings was the chief defender of DISD Superintendent Mike Miles and his reform initiative Destination 20-20.
Today, Rawlings said Miles initiatives are not enough.
"These things have got to change faster, better, and with a greater sense of urgency," Rawlings said. "So let's not change anything Miles is doing, let's take the handcuffs off on something's that he articulated that would be great for him to do."
What could be a problem for Rawlings is that Miles is not supporting the Home Rule concept. He's not opposing it either, but told the Dallas Morning News Editorial Board Wednesday, "I didn't initiate this and I didn't say we should have this. You asked me whether there was a wish list of things we could have. I'm not the one pushing for a change."
News 8 asked the Mayor if not getting the superintendent's endorsement could hurt the Home Rule campaign.
"If you look at his quotes, I applaud them -- that's the sort of superintendent I want," Rawlings said. "It's not his job to whine that he doesn't have enough resources, his job is to get the job done."
The question is, will the mayor need Mike Miles support to sell the Home Rule initiative?
Maybe not. A check of the "Support Our Public Schools" Facebook page reveals an impressive list of luminaries who are supporting it.
But even more important are the voters and what they are saying about it, and Thursday night, there is sure to be a segment of those who believe the governance of DISD is just fine.

Fig. A: Sand all the edges to keep the sides of the case
flush, and clear of splinters. Fig. B: A little wood glue
goes a long way; apply sparingly.
Fig. C: Drill the screws flush with the surface of the
wood and no deeper, or you'll risk cracking. Fig. D: Paint
the top of the case bottom to show off your curios.
92 Craft: Volume06 5
First you'll need to hunt for a good window with its
wood framing (sash) intact. There are 3 things to
consider when scavenging or hitting an architectural
salvage yard:
• The window frame needs only 1 "good" side, so
you can be slightly forgiving in your selection.
• The side that faces down should have at least
1 frame member that's a minimum 2" wide to
support the width of the hinges.
• Look for a frame no larger than 2'× 4'. The reason
for this is that the bottom of the curio case is made
from MDF (medium density fiberboard), which is
sold in precut 2'× 4' sheets. The size of your window
will, obviously, determine the size of your curio case,
and a case sized larger than 2'× 4' will require cutting from a 4'× 8' sheet of MDF or plywood, adding
cost to your project.
Next, comb a couple of thrift shops for a complete
set of furniture legs, at a length of your choosing.
Often you can find some crappy little table with
removable legs for much less than you'd pay for a
new set of legs with the mounting hardware. You're
also likely to get a set of legs with a little more flair
than the big-box hardware store variety.

Encountering Peace: Negotiating atmospherics
11/06/2013 22:17
Building peace requires negotiators reach best deal possible; that becomes more possible when both sides demonstrate same amount of positive will, actions.
US Secretary of State John Kerry in Bethlehem November 6, 2013.
Photo: REUTERS
The leaks from the Palestinian side are constantly reporting that there is no progress. They further claim that they never agreed to a release of prisoners in exchange for Israeli settlement building.
The leaks from the Israeli side are talking about new Israeli conditions such as annexing settlements which are outside the settlement blocs or building a wall along the Jordan River.
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni continues to refuse to comment, only noting that they have all agreed that the only official statements will come from the US side. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told the Fatah revolutionary council that there has been no progress and that the talks are deadlocked.
Now there are also new rumors about an impending American plan for bridging proposals to be put on the table in December or January.
Leaks, statements and announcements are all part of the negotiations.
The use and misuse of information is a common practice in trying to apply pressure on the other side. The negotiators are not immune to public pressure and to atmospheric altercations fabricated to create a sense of crisis.
The public statements and actions taken by both sides do have an effect on the talks and right now it would not be far-fetched to assume that mood inside the room has turned sour. The announcement of new settlement building, home demolitions in Jerusalem, talk of plans to allow Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount, deeply affect the rise of pessimism among the Palestinians.
Palestinian calls that al Aqsa is in danger, the celebration of terrorists released from Israeli prisons, rumors of the negotiators resigning and threats to end the talks have the same negative impact on the Israeli side.
Together they all have the potential power to lead to violence and to explode any chances of reaching a negotiated agreement.
Secretary of State John Kerry's most recent visit and round of talks with both sides is certainly aimed at snapping the whip (or a magic wand) at both sides to get them to calm down and refrain from statements and actions that could end the talks before their time.
There is too often the sense that each side is doing a favor to the Americans (or to the other side) just by agreeing to negotiate. Israel and Palestine are only doing a favor to themselves by agreeing to negotiate.
It is in the national strategic interest of both sides to be in the room and to reach a negotiated end to the conflict.
It is time that both sides begin to act according to its own interests.
There are certain axiomatic certainties that must be understood, internalized, memorized and articulated by both sides. These include: • The only solution to the conflict is two states for two peoples.
• Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people and Palestine is the homeland of the Palestinian people.
The minority populations in both states must be guaranteed full freedom and equality.
• All the permanent status issues need to be resolved in order for there to be peace, including borders, security, Jerusalem, refugees, mutual recognition of national rights, ending incitement and fostering a culture of peace.
• The capitals of both states will be in Jerusalem. Jerusalem must remain an open city with access for all.
• All people will have full and free access to all of the Holy Places and sites.
• If there is no security there will be no agreement. Each side must take 100 percent responsibility for providing security and for fighting terrorism and violence.
• Israel has very legitimate security concerns that the Palestinians must accommodate or there will be no agreement.
• Palestine has very legitimate concerns regarding its sovereignty and ending the occupation, without this there will be no agreement.
• Security cooperation between the parties is an essential element of the agreement.
• Due to the lack of trust between the parties and because of past experience there must be trusted third party monitors verifying implementation of the agreements.
It would be very helpful if each side would take a few action-oriented steps that could help to improve the negotiating atmosphere, rather than the business-as-usual statements and actions that further destroy trust.
Those steps do not have to be completely reciprocal and mutual, although knowing the parties they will probably not be done until the Americans negotiate an agreement on their undertaking.
The negotiations do not have to take place as a kindergarten classroom arguing which side has to take the first step. Steps taken independently that could improve the atmosphere would pay off inside the negotiating room and therefore do not have to be dependent on reciprocity.
A clear statement by Netanyahu that Israel is seeking a full comprehensive agreement and not a longterm interim agreement could be an easy step to make.
A clear statement by Abbas that the Palestinians are seeking a full comprehensive agreement that would put an end to the conflict and all claims by the Palestinians (something he has already said in the past) could be a reciprocal step that would have positive impact.
Greater Israeli cooperation and attention to concrete plans for Palestinian economic development is both a Palestinian need and interest and an Israeli need and interest. Much can be done to advance the Palestinian economy though cooperation.
An invitation by Netanyahu to Abbas to address the Knesset and an invitation by Abbas to Netanyahu to address the Fatah central council – these are also possible and positive. A mutual agreement to transmit Israeli television news once a day with Arabic subtitles and Palestinian television news with Hebrew subtitles could create a situation whereby both sides might become more considerate of what the other side thinks when the view each other's news.
There are many examples of positive steps that could be taken. Building peace requires that the negotiators reach the best deal possible. That becomes more possible when both sides demonstrate the same amount of positive will and actions to positively influence the atmosphere outside of the negotiating room.
The author is co-chairman of IPCRI, the Israel Palestine Center for Research and Information, a columnist for The Jerusalem Post and the initiator and negotiator of the secret back channel for the release of Gilad Schalit. His new book Freeing Gilad: the Secret Back Channel has been published by Kinneret Zmora Bitan in Hebrew and The Negotiator: Freeing Gilad Schalit from Hamas by The Toby Press.

Springtime for Rick Scottby John Kennedy | March 8th, 2011
Gov. Rick Scott has sent tremors through Tallahassee with his plans for eliminating almost 8,700 state jobs, trimming employee benefits and cutting spending.
But the capital city is trying to make nice. Organizers have selected Scott as the first sitting governor to serve as the grand marshal of the annual Springtime Tallahassee festival on April 2.
"The decision was not politically motivated at all," Richard Musgrove, Springtime's president, told the Tallahassee Democrat today."
Musgrove said Scott's selection was in keeping with the 43rd annual event's earlier themes. Springtime's first parade was dubbed the "parade of governors," Musgrove noted, although Scott will be the first Florida chief executive actually at the head of the line.

HONOLULU (AP) - In a symbolic step, President Barack Obama has signed up for health insurance through the new exchanges created by his health care overhaul.
The White House says Obama signed up through the Washington, D.C., marketplace over the weekend. Because he signed up in private, without reporters present, it was unclear whether Obama encountered any of the website glitches that millions of other Americans have experienced.
The White House says Obama selected a plan at the less-expensive "bronze" level.
Obama will continue receiving health care through the military. But when he signed the Affordable Care Act into law in 2010, the White House pledged Obama would personally participate. The White House says he enrolled to show support for the marketplaces.

Four dead: crash link probe after body find
Wed May 2, 2012 2:19pm
''The post mortems are ongoing ... We have to wait for the results of those post mortems to determine what happened.''
Police were called to the family's Glen Waverley home for a welfare check yesterday morning when Divya was not taken to family day care for the second day running.
Police entered the house and found the four bodies about 11am.
It was the second successive day Divya had failed to attend her day care centre. A cousin contacted by the centre was unable to rouse the family and alerted police.
The Age believes the children had been smothered.
It is uncertain how long they had been dead, but relatives said they attended a family celebration on Saturday night.
Mr Sharma's uncle Abhay Singh told The Age that he hoped their spirits would "rest in peace".
"He [Mr Sharma] would never do anything to harm his wife and kids, he loved them so much," Mr Singh said.
"We are absolutely shaken by what happened, the whole family has been destroyed. I could never believe that anything like this could happen. May their spirits rest in peace."

Starting career in style
Brenden Bretschneider is one of five apprentice chefs launching their career at French restaurant Belle Epoque in Fortitude Valley.
Inspired by the finest Parisian brasseries, Belle Epoque is located in the Emporium Hotel.
The apprentices will be under the guidance of French chef Gil Debeze.
Mr Bretschneider said it was an amazing opportunity to start his apprenticeship surrounded by lots of culinary expertise.
"I'm sure they'll help me take my cooking career to a higher level, both in a professional and personal capacity," he said.
"French cuisine is the top end of the market and if you develop a flair for it you can travel the world.
The apprentices were trained by Sarina Russo Schools | Australia.
Hospitality skill shortages meant it was imperative that business and training providers worked together to provide flexible work/study options for apprentices.
"We now have the choice of 'day release' where the apprentice spends one day per week to study at Sarina Russo Schools | Australia or 'spilt block training' where they can study for two separate two week sessions.

was born with only 2 chambers in her heart. She had 6 major problems in her
heart. She was born with no spleen. Her kidneys were in the wrong place. She

live. The doctors had no hope. She woke up from her coma!!! She had many

from the Lord.She had another major surgery in May of this year. She came
through the surgery but had a seizure and went through Code Blue 3 times. She
was in a coma for about a week and a half or two. The Lord took her
home. There are many amazing stories and testimonies surrounding
Kailey's Life. So many people have been impacted by this sweet little girl's
life. Now, there are so many needs for this

The giclee (pronounced "jeeclay") method of printmaking is a state-of-the-art technology advancement in the world of fine art printing. They are high resolution, museum quality prints, which are the recognized standard for fine art digital printing. Giclee is a French word implying spraying or droplets of ink; the depth of color is much more advanced than that of lithographs. The process involves communication between the Artist and the Printer, (of which we are the Artist and the Printer). For a collector, a Giclee print is by far, the best representation of an original.
First, a high resolution digital picture is made from the original art. Samples are made using archival inks, a printer with 8-colors and acid free paper until the artist is satisfied with the fidelity of the reproduction. After many adjustments, getting the giclee print to represent the original as close as possible, the final prints are made on an as needed basis.
All of our Giclee Canvas Prints are derived from original oil and watercolor paintings and digital photographs by our family of artists and friends.
We can offer Giclee Canvas Prints on any of the art we feature on our Website and Online Store. We also have many other pieces of artwork we can offer too. Please feel free to contact us with questions about our additional art.
We encourage you to try our Giclee Canvas Prints. We know you will be pleased with the quality of the product.
Also ask about our Custom Giclee Canvas Prints. We can offer custom giclee canvas prints using your (*)own original artwork and photographs.
(*) We are happy to print your own original artwork and photographs. Out of respect for artists and copyright laws which protect artist's original artwork, we do not print other artists work without prior written permission from the original artist.

Kevin Goldstein of Baseball America sat down with Padres RunDown for an interview...
Padres RunDown: Only Josh Barfield (#1) made Baseball America's top 100 list. How close were Freddy Guzman (#2) & George Kottaras (#3)?
Kevin Goldstein: I think they both would have made the top 150 if we went that deep, and I think Chick and Stauffer would have had a chance to make that group too.

Baseball: With the Bengals making history this season with one of the best teams in school history, the hardworking Barnegat squad came up just short in the Ocean County Tournament and Shore Conference Tournament.
On Friday May 11th, the Bengals travelled to Jackson Memorial for an Ocean County Tournament Quarterfinal game. On the mound for the Bengals was ace Mark McCoy, who lived up to the hype on the biggest stage he had faced. McCoy made quick work of one of the most fearsome lineups in the Shore, needing just 65 pitches for a complete game four hitter, yielding just one run. Unfortunately, it was the only run scored of the day, and Barnegat lost 1-0.
Last Thursday, McCoy once again took the mound for the Bengals in the opening round of the Shore Conference Tournament. With the 19th seeded Bengals travelling to 14th seeded Monmouth Regional, the Bengals took a 2-0 lead into the sixth inning. In the sixth however, things unraveled as Monmouth scored three unanswered runs to eventually win the game.
The Bengals will have every opportunity to make up for the losses with a win Tuesday against Collingswood High School in the South Jersey Group II Tournament. The fifth seeded Bengals will host twelfth seeded Collingswood at 3 PM. Barnegat sits at 10-10 overall and 6-3 in the division.
Softball: While the Lady Bengals fell in the Ocean County Tournament Small School semifinals to Central Regional by just one run, they won their first round match up of the Shore Conference Tournament. It took an extra inning but Emily Gambuti and company got the job done. With the win, Gambuti improved her record to 15-5 on the year striking out three and pitching all eight innings. The eighth inning rally started when Gambuti beat out an infield single to reach first before being pinch ran for by Tara Jackson who was later plated by Holly Walker's single for the walk off win. In the second round, the Lady Bengals will be taking on Toms River South.
Barnegat will host No. 13 seed Overbrook in the first round of the SJII tournament which begins Tuesday at 3:00.
Boys Lacrosse: After bowing out of the Shore Conference Tournament with a 15-2 loss against powerful Rumson-Fair Haven, Barnegat finished the season at 10-9, splitting their final four games. The Bengals picked up wins over Lower Cape May and Neptune while dropping games to Glen Ridge and Oakcrest.
It was a landmark season for the Bengals, turning in their first winning season in school history to finish 10-9 and it comes on the heels of three straight one win seasons. Highlighting the season were wins over Manasquan and Shore Regional, two well established programs
Girls Lacrosse: The Lady Bengals enjoyed a 13-1 regular season, including an 11 game winning streak yet struggled in both postseason tournaments going 0-2. In the Shore Conference Tournament Barnegat fell to Manasquan 15-3 and in the state tournament, the Lady Bengals lost to Sterling 14-3.
Highlighting the season for the Bengals were back-to-back double overtime games to keep their winning streak intact over Brick Township and Holmdel.

Tennis balls: Little. Yellow. Useful.
Sep 9th 2007 5:49PM They can also be used to remove scuff marks from the floor. I am a teacher and the custodians have them mounted on the end of broomsticks to get up the black scuff marks from dark soled tennis shoes. Works great!!!
Parents ask for Ritalin -- to boost grades
Sep 22nd 2006 10:03PM I am a teacher and I have a kid in my class right now who desperately needs some sort of meds. He is extremely smart but rarely finishes any of his class work because he just can't focus on the job at hand. He is doing well in most subjects due to his intelligence but in 4th grade we have to do a writing prompt in 45 minutes for the FCAT and I really don't think he'll be able to do it w/out some sort of meds. I've already had a conference w/mom and she's in denial - been dealing w/this for years and his grades have been fine. I think he might actually be gifted but he will never be tested for it due to his inability to finish his regular class assignments. I might add that even though he rarely finishes things and doesn't pay attention in class - he usually gets A's on his tests.

There is so much more to the humble Hot Dog than a cheap sausage in a bun. Choose good quality Hot Dogs and sausages without loads of chemicals and nitrites. A better Hot Dog makes a great meal and these 10 recipes are the best I have for making that Hot Dog something spectacular. The Hot Dog is nearly as versatile as the burger, so take advantage of all the possibilities and make the most of this great American meal.
1. Smothered Beef Hot Dogs
A quick and easy way to serve up a delicious hot dog. If you choose to, you can make the chile verde from scratch, or you can simply purchase pre-made from your supermarket or even a nearby restaurant. As long as you have this key component, you won't go wrong!
2. Chicago Dogs
The famous Chicago Dog is known as the best hot dog in the world. If you really want to get it right, choose a good quality sausage and load it up as high.
3. New York Hot Dogs
A vendor style New York hot dog that comes topped with a delicious, simmered onion sauce.
4. The Ultimate Chili Dog
Start off with a good quality hot dog, preferably beef, and slather it with a freshly made delicious, thick, moderately spiced chili. Add chopped onions, shredded sharp cheddar or crumbled cotija cheese for an ultimate hot dog experience.
5. Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog with Jalapeno Cheese Sauce
Who doesn't love bacon and cheese? Add a few jalapenos to the mix and you'll have a fantastic hot dog to serve at cookouts, birthday parties, and on game nights.
6. Chicken Sausage Sandwiches with Tomato-Pickle Relish
This is a simple, but delicious chicken sausage sandwich. The tomato-pickle relish provides a nice, tart flavor. In fact, the topping can be used on fish, grilled pork, or on vegetarian burgers and hot dogs.
7. Chicken Sausage Sandwiches with Sage Gremolata and Dijon Cream
Traditionally, gremolata is made with parsley, but this recipe calls for sage in addition. Feel free to use any type of chicken sausage, though, I recommend chicken bratwursts.
8. Grilled Bratwurst in Beer and Onion Sauerkraut
This Bratwurst recipe has an accompanying onion sauerkraut. You can omit the bacon if you wish to lower the fat content.
9. Lamb Sausage Sandwich with Cumin-Mint Yogurt Sauce
Grilled lamb sausage in a warmed bun or pita, topped with a toasted cumin and mint yogurt sauce. If you're tired of the usual cookout hot dog and looking to try something new, then this is certainly the sausage sandwich to try!
10. Bacon Burger-Style Hot Dog
This is a clever twist on the classic bacon-cheese burger. Load the ground beef with bacon, form into hot dog shaped patties, wrap in more bacon and grill. Stuff into a hot dog bun with cheese and jalapenos and you have a great burger (or is it a hot dog?).

Get ready for fireworks — It's football season
Sports Commentary
Lucas Myers
For the Review
The greatest time of the year has finally arrived. The smell of autumn has started to creep up on my senses as they recover from a long summer of agonizing allergies.
Yet the end of the allergy season is not what I'm excited about. It is the arrival of prime time football season.
The naps during baseball games are coming to an end, and ESPN will no longer be overrun with those repetitive tennis matches, which seem to last forever and take me back to my childhood video game, Pong.
No longer do I have to spend Monday nights with the girlfriend at some knitting festival or become a human pretzel doing yoga. Finally, I can grab a few cold ones, throw down a greasy cheeseburger and spend some quality time with the fellas.
This season is underway with a fast start and has brought along great news; and that takes a writer's job easy.
First of all, Brett Favre is no longer a cheesehead or in retirement; instead, he took his country-boy attitude up to New York where he led the Jets to a season-opening win. Unfortunately, during the following two weeks the New York Jets have turned into the New York Jet-lags.
But honestly it is not the NFL anymore without Favre in that Packers uniform. We no longer get to see him tackle his receivers and leap into a crowd of crazy Green Bay fans. Instead, we see Aaron Rodgers trying to impersonate the Lambeau leap. Favre pulling a Michael Jordan, though, is far from the biggest news these days.
Hollywood model Tom Brady finally found out what getting injured really feels like, and this time he does not need to fake it to get attention like he did before the Super Bowl last year. This time he can stand on the sideline and watch his backup quarterback, Matt Cassel, play. Cassel, who has not started a football game since his senior year of high school, will lead his team to a 9-7 record and out of the playoffs where the Patriots belong.
New England's defense is getting too old, proven by their recent trips to Sunday brunch at the senior center. Their linebackers can no longer stop the run, and their defensive backs look like they are walking behind those receivers. On Sunday, the "hoodie coach" of the Patriots was outcoached by the Dolphins as they pulled the direct snap out of the college ranks and put up one rushing touchdown after another.
Enough with the sensationalized NFL. How about the real gridiron where players actually play because they love the game?
The college season is up and running after a few weeks of hard-fought games. There have already been some big changes in the top 25. It was nice to see "Smokin'" Pete Carrol and his army of Trojans get the No. 1 rank after their demoralizing victory over Virginia and continued domination of Ohio State.
USC will continue this streak until they get ousted from the BCS because the Pac-10 is supposedly weaker than the SEC.
The Big Ten is the most overrated league in the nation, and they still seem to get a team into the championship every year. For once, give us here on the West Coast some love and put the army of Troy in position to destroy an SEC team.
Rankings are not the only problem in college football these days. For the last couple weeks, every Washington Huskies fan has been as mad and disappointed as a fan could be because of the poor officiating that literally decided the game for the Huskies against the BYU Cougars.
Quarterback Jake Locker scored a touchdown with seconds remaining to put the Huskies in position to take it into overtime after the PAT, but after Locker scored he tossed the ball in the air and began to celebrate.
The celebration was not a dance or show; it was just a normal old-fashioned celebration. The refs apparently did not want to stick around for overtime, so they threw the flag for unsportsman-like conduct and made them kick the PAT from 35 yards away. That led to a BYU block and another UW loss. Needless to say, after that game I had to go buy a new television.
Why call excessive celebration at a time in the game where it will change who wins or loses?
Referees should stick to officiating games, not deciding them. Maybe the referee who threw the flag had a good reason, like a hundred bucks on the BYU

I'm posting this to blow off some steam, I think a LFC's fan perspective on what Rafa did wrong at Liverpool is much more eloquent than something we could ever come up with. There are two Liverpool blogs on SB nation. From first glance the blog I got it from, Anfield Asylum, is less active and probably a bit more moderate than the Liverpool Offside but correct me if I am wrong.
He drove out Xabi Alonso over Gareth Barry. Got rid of Hamman, Owen and Murphy, all who proved they had a lot left to give.
Went on a tirade about Fergie (Liverpool started slumping after that) Played Lucas incessantly as if Lucas had naked pictures of Rafa and was blackmailing him (which might have cost us the league in 2007-08
Brought in Morientes, Nunez, Voronin, Josemi, Kronkamp, Babel (for £11.5m!), Zenden, Pennant, N'gog
Brought in Mark Gonzales, fought to get him a work permit, then got rid of him the year he finally got it. Brought in Robbie Keane (for £19m) then benched him as he was finding form and sold him back to Spurs for (£16m)
Pushed Crouch to the fringes despite his decent goal scoring record Showed Riise the door and left himself with no LB, a void not filled until Enrique because he also got rid of Stephen Warnock (who also proved to be a decent LB)
Replaced Riise with Dossena who cost 4m more than he got for Riise and sucked apart from that cracking goal he scored at Old Trafford.
Pushed Paco Ayesteran out as well. Gave us the Aquilani saga (for £20m) which only recently finally concluded. According to Anfield Online, Rafa spent over £190m in his tenure and only brought in a little over £108m. Sure he dealt with Ace and Gary's (Gillette and Hicks) ownership, but he didn't help it either. Started numerous feuds with random managers which seemed to affect the team. Rotated the squad so damn much that they were never able to gel. It is no coincidence that his best years were his first few when he didn't have the players to rotate. If you can't tell from my disjointed thoughts, I can't quite understand this. He has had a tumultuous relationship with many other Premier League managers and with the Chelsea fans, many of which don't want him. I just can't see how this can or will work out, especially because he doesn't have three letter initials. The EPL is not the same league as when he left it. Sorry, Chelsea fans, this isn't looking good for you, but it could be worse. It could have been Mark Hughes.

We can be glad that Michael Emenalo controls transfers and not Benitez.

Lorene Eppolite- Cre8tion Crochet
This crochet scarf pattern can be worn in a variety of ways: as a bathing suit wrap or a head wrap for hanging out on the beach, or a dress up wrap or even a cowl for evening dinners. It is a simple design that will go well with any outfit.
This vacation scarf can be made in any size. This size requires only one hank; in order to achieve larger sizes you will need an additional hank. The best way to measure for what size you will need is to measure your hips at their widest point and subtract 10. That is how long, in inches you will make your beginning foundation chain. My hips measure 34" so I made my starting foundation chain 24".
I did not use specific gauge or measurements in this free crochet pattern so that it can be easily adapted. Since the colors are what I really wanted to stand out in this pattern, it is a very simple design and will be easy to change size.
Materials1 skein of Darn Good Yarn's Anamika Silk/Silk Cloud yarn in Sunburst (for this size, larger sizes will require more yarn)4.0mm crochet hookSmall needle to weave in ends
Finished Size26"x26", but it can be made in any size
not important in this pattern
Special Stitches
fdc- foundation double crochetChain 3(counts as 1st fdc). Yarn over and insert hook in 3rd chain from hook. Yarn over and pull up loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 1 loop (this is an important step but easy to forget). Yarn over and pull through first two loops on hook (two loops remaining). Yarn over again and pull through last two loops on hook. This completes the second fdc (remember your 1st ch3 counted as the 1st fdc)

Is M-Kopa Solar the Answer to Rural Electrification?
The barrier to large-scale adoption of solar lighting has been the high initial cost of getting solar cells and solar panels needed to harness solar energy. Safaricom and M-Kopa, a mobile technology company based in Nairobi, have launched a GSM enabled pay-as-you-go solar solution where customers buy a solar home systems on credit and pay in daily instalments of KES 40 for one year before they get full ownership of the solar unit.
Is this the solution to the electrification problem in the rural areas?
The Rural Electrification Authority (REA) was established in order to accelerate the pace of rural electrification in the country. Despite the presence of REA, access to rural electrification, to some, is still a hustle. For instance, if your premises are over six hundred metres from the nearest transformer you will have to apply as a group or individually, for installation of a transformer nearer you before you can get electricity connection.
Despite this, bureaucracy in the connection process can be discouraging for some. First you will need to apply and pay the necessary connection charges, which could at least cost KES 35,000. Next, site visits might have to be done. Then there is the required wiring in your house that should be done by a licensed electrician. Finally there is the meter deposit which you have to pay and is determined by your expected consumption and tariff category.
Considering we now have an affordable option to solar energy, will M-Kopa make it easy for rural dwellers access lighting?
Currently M-Kopa solar is available in Eldoret and Kaitale with plans of rolling out the service in the North Rift Nyanza and Western parts of the country over the next quarter and plans to avail the service all over the country in the coming year.
Buying the solar unit on credit entails paying an initial deposit of KES 2,500 then pay daily instalments of KES 40 for one year. In total you will spend about KES 17,100. This is slightly less than half of the electricity connection fee which is at least KES 35,000, not to mention the meter deposit fee.
According to M-Kopa, the solar home system is quick and easy to set up. All you need to do is mount the solar panel on the roof, place the control unit in a safe and convenient place indoors and connect the light. Labour here is free, and five minutes of your time. Electricians are slightly more expensive.
Electricity from the national grid can be used to power your radio, TV, heat water and in lighting, just to mention a few uses. This is where M-Kopa solar takes a back seat. This solar system can be used to power 3 bright bulbs and charge mobile phones though according to M-Kopa new products are coming soon that may be able to do more.
The solar unit has a product lifespan of 7-10 years meaning you will enjoy free solar energy for about 6 years after completing the KES 40 daily instalments which you will incur over the first year of purchasing the unit, saving you on costs associated with monthly electricity bills.
Solar energy has been known to be pocket friendly in the long run, with future nationwide distribution and developments on M-Kopa solar units which will probably enable them power more electricity equipment's, solar energy may just be the solution to rural electrification.

First Lady Laura Bush made a rare visit to Lubbock on Saturday to take advantage of a once in a lifetime opportunity -- to see the Vatican Exhibit at the Texas Tech Museum. On Saturday afternoon, NewsChannel 11 spoke with Mrs. Bush about topics including the presidential library and her goals as First Lady.
This is the first time that the 31 Medieval Frescoes were shown to the world, and First Lady Laura Bush was among 68,000 others to witness a part of ancient history. "I know they're very very old, and some of them were painted in the 1120s. It's very moving, the idea of Christianity having that long of a history, and now having the opportunity to see it here is very special," said Mrs. Bush.
The First Lady came to Lubbock at a time when five universities, including Texas Tech, are in the midst of competing for the George W. Bush Presidential Library. NewsChannel 11 asked Mrs. Bush about the possibility of having the presidential library at Texas Tech, since the President grew up in West Texas.
"I haven't heard of that proposal yet, but I know it'll be somewhere in Texas. It's early for us to pick a place for the presidential library, but I can assure everyone it'll be somewhere in the state," said Mrs. Bush.
She says many universities have approached her and the President about the presidential library, but there is no decision yet. In the meantime, the First Lady will continue to achieve her goals, one of which is to encourage more people to educate America's children. "I still have the same goals, to recruit more teachers, and encourage people to choose teaching as a career," said Mrs. Bush.
Because of her hectic schedule in Washington, D.C., the First Lady enjoys every moment outside of the nation's capitol. "I don't sneak into Lubbock that often. I have many good friends here, so I'm looking forward to having a quiet family dinner with good friends. It's relaxing here," she said.
And if there is one thing that sets Lubbock apart from the rest, it is the weather. "I love the weather here in Lubbock. It's much cooler here, and I like the dry weather. In Washington, it's so hot and humid, so I like Lubbock weather a lot better," said Mrs. Bush.
On Saturday night, Mrs. Bush spent some time with family friends here in Lubbock before returning to Washington.
Join NewsChannel 11 on Sunday night at 10:00 for part two of our interview with Mrs. Bush. In the interview, she talks about the aftermath of September 11th and what she has learned from the tragedy.

Have you keeping yourself up at night wondering why Bjorn Rebney has been unable to bring Mamed Khalidov to Bellator Fighting Championships? Me either. We've got the answer for you in any case. Sherdog reports:
"Ultimately, the next middleweight tournament begins in September and I, because I'm Muslim, have to fast for the length of August," said Khalidov, referring to the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which in 2011 will be observed Aug. 1-29. During that period, Muslims are prohibited from eating or drinking from sunrise to sunset, an obvious impediment to MMA training.
"I don't train at all during this period, and there's no way I could fight as early as September," explained the Chechen-born fighter. "I need at least two months to prepare and, for me, the fasting is more important than fights in Bellator or even [Polish promotion Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki]."
I had some whole spiel typed up about how Ramadan is absurd, etc. Then Tim Burke and I were talking about the story, and he suggested it might be a smokescreen to mask KSW's frustrations with Bellator blocking bookings for Euro fighters.
Then I started wondering if Khalidov's story checked out. I mean, if he's not interested in Bellator's tournament due to Ramadan, surely he would have remained consistent in the past, right?
I should note that the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, which is 11 to 12 days shorter than a solar calendar. As a result, the dates of Ramadan shift each year.
In 2008, Ramadan fell between September 1 and September 30. This did not stop Khalidov from fighting on both September 13 and October 10.
In 2007, Ramadan fell between September 13 and October 10. Khalidov fought on September 15 and then again on November 10.
In 2006, Ramadan fell between September 24 and October 23. Khalidov fought on November 19.
In 2005, Ramadan fell between October 4 and November 2. Khalidov fought twice on October 15.
I don't care whether Khalidov observes his holy days or not, but it's clear that his story lacks a foundation considering he's fought during and following Ramadan in the past.

How did casinos get to be our best urban industry option in Iowa? They foster addictive behavior and encourage crime. While the initial investors may make money, the city ends up paying a high price as the casino attracts whom? Why, gamblers, of course.
What do we want to produce in our cities? People who can stuff coins in slots and deal cards?
Moving a casino within easier reach of those with already limited economic means is not a kindness. Warren Buffett once called gambling a �tax on ignorance.� Are we really OK with gambling away our cities?

Donnie Rickelman's life has been filled with the kind of ups and downs that could make the most motivated of men feel discouraged.
"I mean there's a lot of things you can't do as an amputee," Rickelman says. "It's just tough," he adds.
Rickelman injured both his hands in a factory accident in March of 1998 when they were caught in a steel splitter. His dominant right hand was crushed and his left hand was partially amputated.
It's a two-handed world. You use two hands in every part of your life," Rickelman says.
The road to recovery lead him to Louisville, Kentucky and Jewish Hospital in 2011. That's when he became the seventh person to receive a hand transplant.
Complications can happen and there are risks to the procedure, but today Rickelman has a clean bill of health.
He's handled his medicines without any significant complications. He hasn't had any adverse reactions to them. His kidney function...he's not diabetic. He's done extremely well," says Dr. Michael Marvin.
Rickelman is doing so well, he's trying something where the use of his hands are a must. He says he never had the need for golf balls or clubs, but two years later he says he's ready to try to his hand at something brand new...hitting the links.
"You want to go out and hit a few?" the golf instructor asks. "Yeah," Rickelman answered. "Okay. Let's do it," the instructor adds. "It's a big thrill to know that I can come here, grab that club, and swing it," Rickelman says. "I only had one hand, and that hand was damaged, so I didn't really think I'd be able to play golf," he adds.
Any doubts he may have had about it are gone...and, while he's still developing his swing...
"Look at that! You got to be kidding me. That even felt good didn't it?" the instructor says. "Yeah," Rickelman says.
The accuracy of his drive is spot on. Most of his golf balls are landing on the green.
"I mean, it's a total new lease. It's a second chance, and you have to live every day like it's a second chance," Rickelman says.
Those are inspiring words from a man who has faced a terrible injury head on, refusing to ever give up.
