My colleague Zach Lowe speculated about the possibility last night, and sure enough, a source has told The Boston Globe's Gary Washburn the C's could be interested in signing the former Celtic, who is likely to be waived by the Wolves:
The Celtics have been seeking a tough-minded defender to replace Tony Allen, now that he signed with the Memphis Grizzlies. And according to a source, their interest could spread to former Celtic Delonte West, who is expected to be waived by the Minnesota Timberwolves after the club acquired him in a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers Monday.
Now a couple things before we proceed any further with this report. First off, I'm not crazy about Washburn's wording here. A source reports that the C's COULD be interested? Really? That's worth a story?
I'm speculating about it here, so I'm just as much at fault I guess, but it seems Washburn is putting the cart in the front of the horse entirely here, by reporting on the potential of there being potential interest.
That's neither here nor there though. The C's obviously need another shooter/wing and the options are very limited, as are the C's means of filling them. West is a guy that would certainly upgrade the bench behind Rondo/Ray, giving the team a small, but solid second team of guards consisting of him and Nate Robinson, with Avery Bradley lurking.
Here's the question though; would West be willing to come here for the veteran's minimum, if the C's are actually interested in his services, once waived?
Delonte's numbers make the answer to that question look like a resounding no. He is just 27 years old, and despite having a down year last season, still was a key rotation member in the Cavs backcourt last year.
That being said, he comes with a plethora of well chronicled issues. The weapons charges, going AWOL a couple times, and other rumored conflicts in Cleveland, made the Cavs want to part ways with him. The Wolves, a point guard's favorite landing spot, want West just to save money, by waiving his modest contract (4.5 million for next year) for only 500 thousand against the cap.
Knowing this, despite his problems, West can almost certainly get more than the veteran's minimum somewhere next year (though probably not much more). Would he be willing to take less in Boston for some familiarity, stability and a chance to resurrect his career?
You'd think he would consider that. I know, I would if I were Danny Ainge. He's played for Doc before, and was one of the few bright spots for those squads in the mid 2000′s before being shipped out of town in the Ray Allen deal. By all accounts, he enjoyed Boston while he was here, without the baggage that plagued him these past two seasons in Cleveland.
Ainge isn't afraid to take risks in potential free agents he think might help. With West, it may be a marriage that makes sense for both sides.

ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F, the third largest party in the Balochistan Assembly after the PML-Q and PPP, has offered its unconditional support for the ruling coalition to elect a new chief minister.
The JUI-F has urged coalition partners to nominate a new chief minister or let Maulana Fazlur Rehman make a choice to enable Balochistan to move ahead with other provinces in democratic transition.
Talking to Dawn, senior JUI-F leader Senator Maulana Mohammad Khan Sherani said the sooner the government heeded to his party's advice the better it would be for continuation of the political process in the crisis-ridden province and for the rest of the country.
Maulana Sherani, who is also chairman of the Islamic Ideology Council, said his party had asked the PPP to immediately lift governor's rule and let the political process take its due course in Balochistan.
He said JUI-F would support any move to replace deposed chief minister Nawab Aslam Raisani. "I assure the ruling PPP leadership that Nawab Raisani will resign within seven days after his reinstatement and the parliamentary parties in the provincial assembly can unanimously elect a new leader of the house," he said.
At present the PML-Q has 19 MPAs, PPP 14, JUI-F nine, BNP seven and ANP four. There are 10 independent MPAs in the 65-member assembly.
Explaining his party's formula to resolve the political crisis, Maulana Sherani said the PPP, PML-Q and ANP should nominate a new chief minister or leave it to the JUI-F and BNP. He said his party and the BNP were ready to sit on opposition benches if the other parties wanted their own chief minister.
He said Maulana Fazlur Rehman had discussed the issue of lifting governor's rule with all parties in the ruling coalition, but their response was still awaited.
"Our concern at the moment is to proceed smoothly towards the general election which is possible only in the presence of a working chief minister and leader of opposition in the Balochistan Assembly after the passage of the 20th Amendment," Maulana Sherani said.
He said that after the dismissal of the Raisani government last month, JUI-F had offered a similar democratic recourse under which a new provincial government without Mr Raisani could have been formed, but the government didn't pay heed to it.
Constitutional experts are also of the opinion that after the constitutional amendments the federal government has no other option but to either reinstate Mr Raisani or replace him with someone else to move towards the general election.
They said only the chief minister could recommend dissolution of the assembly if the PPP wanted to do so before April 6 when it would complete its five-year constitutional term. Secondly, positions of the chief minister and leader of the opposition are mandatory for the formation of a caretaker set-up.
A senior PML-Q leader confirmed the talks between his party and the JUI-F leadership on the issue of ending governor's rule and replacement of Nawab Raisani and suggestions given by the JUI-F. "The PML-Q leadership will hold a meeting with the PPP in a day or two and discuss the Balochistan issue," he said.
Talking to Dawn, PPP's information secretary Qamar Zaman Kaira said a JUI-F delegation had met his party's leadership with a set of proposals for political arrangement in Balochistan. But he said he was not aware of any recent development because he had been in his home constituency for a couple of days.
But another PPP leader said the JUI-F proposals would be discussed at a party meeting after the return of President Asif Ali Zardari from the UK next week.
Responding to an unprecedented sit-in held by the Shia Hazaras who had refused to burry the 86 victims of twin bomb blast in Quetta till the dismissal of the Raiani government, the centre had imposed governor's rule in Balochistan Jan 14.
The JUI-F and BNP have since been protesting against the governor's rule in sessions of the Senate and National Assembly and in Balochistan and demanding reinstatement of the elected government.

With all the hype around FA HBs like Reggie Bush, Darren Sproles, Micheal Bush, and DeAngelo Williams; I though it would be a good Idea to introduce the available UDFA HBs that are out there. I will be using walterfootball.com for my post, If you guys know of a guy that I miss; put him in the comments please.
With our HB corps the way it is, we will probably be able to attract one of the better ones. Behind our second round pick, Daniel Thomas, we have two unknowns. Lex Hilliard was not very impressive pounding the rock as a second year player, picking up a low 3.9 YPA. The only saving graces Hilliard has is his ability to lead block, pass block, and cath out of the backfield. Kory Sheets is a complete unknown. He only saw the field for one carry and he is a speed guy with a leg coming off a leg injury, but he can help return punts.
Since we run a two back system, I expect our team to try to upgrade this roster in FA. We have our bruising back and are missing our change of pace back. I think this time we go after a guy that is a homerun threat because of how often Sparano went on about our backs not complimenting each other.
UDFA HBs after the jump!
Mario Fannin, RB, Auburn
Height: 5-10. Weight: 231.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Combine 40 Time: 4.37.
Pro Day 40 Time: .
Benchx225: . Vertical: 37.5. Broad: .
Projected Round (2011): 5-7.
2/28/11: Mario Fannin was the third-string running back at Auburn, but opened up some eyes at the Combine. He ran a 4.37 40 and notched a 37.5-inch vertical at 5-10, 231 pounds. Fannin is not a good runner, but he has proven that he can excel at catching the ball out of the backfield. He could become a solid third-down back in the NFL.
3/29/10: Mario Fannin rushed the ball only 34 times in 2009. The intrigue is his ability in the passing game; he caught 42 balls for 413 yards.
Mario Fannin played H-back and some tail back. He ran the second fastest 40 time at the NFL combine. His combination of great size and elite speed give him tremendous upside. He was primarily a pass catcher at Auburn, but when he was given the ball on a hand off, showed good strength and pop at the POA. Having said that, he is very raw, he could work on his vision.

Mario Fannin Draft Profile (via ProFootballWeekly)
You may not have heard much from Mario Fannin during Auburn's National Championship season, but the versatile RB-FB combo brought a lot to the table in college and could do the same in the NFL.
Noel Devine, RB, West Virginia
Height: 5-8. Weight: 179.
Projected 40 Time: 4.36.
Combine 40 Time: DNP.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.26.
Benchx225: 24. Vertical: 35.5. Broad: .
Projected Round (2011): 5-7.
3/28/11: Noel Devine didn't run or work out at the Combine, but he was able to blaze a 4.26 40 at West Virginia's Pro Day.
1/25/11: When they show those Christian Children's Fund commercials with the weird old creeper, is Noel Devine one of the kids? Why is he only 160 pounds? Can someone please drive him to a McDonald's? His 8-and-a-half inch hands aren't helping him either.
10/1/10: Devine suffered a bruised toe against LSU and was limited later in that game. In his first three games, Devine accumulated 73 carries for 354 rushing yards and 80 receiving yards. He is an electric player in the open field and it is inevitable he will draw comparisons to Dexter McCluster.
11/7/09: Someone will draft Noel Devine in Rounds 2-3 if he runs a fast 40. He's averaging 6.2 YPC and 8.2 yards per reception this year. He'll be seen as a Darren Sproles-type player.
I think the 4.26 40 at his pro day answers the question, "Will injury slow him down?" WITH A RESOUNDING NO!

Darren Evans, RB, Virginia Tech
Height: 6-0. Weight: 227.
Projected 40 Time: 4.52.
Combine 40 Time: 4.56.
Pro Day 40 Time: .
Benchx225: 26. Vertical: 35. Broad: .
Projected Round (2011): 6-FA.
3/29/10: Tore his ACL in September.
8/6/09: Took over as Virginia Tech's starting running back as a true freshman a few games into the 2008 campaign. Darren Evans finished with 1,265 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns. He also caught 17 passes.
Got injured before his Sophmore campaign. This opened the door for Ryan Williams and Williams never looked back. He performed well as a freshman and the years not pounding the rock mean he wasn't getting hit.
Darren Evans (via CavvyTube)
Darren Evans Draft Profile (via ProFootballWeekly)
VaTech RB Darren Evans may have been used much more as a running back in college had his freshman-year injury not allowed two other backs to take his place. A healthy Evans is looking for a second chance in the NFL.
Nic Grigsby, RB, Arizona
Height: 5-11. Weight: 199.
Projected 40 Time: 4.50.
Combine 40 Time: DNP.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.38.
Benchx225: 21. Vertical: 43.5. Broad: 11-0.
Projected Round (2011): 6-FA.
3/13/11: Nic Grigsby had a breath-taking Pro Day. He ran a 4.38, and notched a vertical of 43.5 inches and a broad jump of 11 feet. Grigsby caught 25 passes last year, so he projects as an intriguing third-down back.
3/29/10: Saw a drop in production last season; had just 79 carries for 567 yards (7.2 YPC) and 13 receptions.
8/6/09: Nic Grigsby rushed for 1,153 yards and 13 touchdowns on a 5.4 YPC in 2008. He also caught 12 passes. Unfortunately, his 40 time will hurt his draft stock considering how small his frame is.

John Clay, RB, Wisconsin
Height: 6-1. Weight: 230.
Projected 40 Time: 4.64.
Combine 40 Time: 4.77.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.72.
Benchx225: . Vertical: 29. Broad: .
Projected Round (2012): 6-FA.
2/28/11: John Clay slimmed down to 230 pounds, but didn't look any faster. Clay ran a 4.77 40 and didn't cut very quickly in the drills. He could be an undrafted free agent.
7/26/10: Yet another powerful Wisconsin back, John Clay rushed for 1,517 yards and 18 touchdowns on a 5.3 YPC. Teams might be concerned about his 40 time. At the very worst, he'll be a great goal-line back.
I don't think we need another bruiser, but he is an option.
Andre Harris, RB, Northern Colorado
Height: 6-0. Weight: 223.
Projected 40 Time: N/A.
Combine 40 Time: DNP.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.50.
Benchx225: 23. Vertical: 36. Broad: 9-11.
Projected Round (2011): 7-FA.
3/29/11: Andre Harris is an intriguing prospect out of Northern Colorado. He rushed for 711 yards and 10 touchdowns in 10 games last year, including 14-63 at Michigan State. He caught 13 balls on the season. At Northern Colorado's Pro Day, Harris had a 4.50 40, including a solid 1.55 10-yard split.
Based off of numbers, his 40 indicates slightly above average speed. His broad jump shows some explosiveness in his legs.
No videos.
Graig Cooper, RB, Miami
Height: 5-10. Weight: 205.
Projected 40 Time: 4.42.
Combine 40 Time: 4.63.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.66.
Benchx225: . Vertical: 32.5. Broad: .
Projected Round (2011): 7-FA.
3/29/10: Bad news: Graig Cooper partially tore his ACL in Miami's postseason practice game. There's a chance he could be ready for the 2010 season opener. During the year, Cooper had 695 rushing yards on a 5.2 YPC and 18 receptions for 132 more yards.
8/6/09: As a sophomore, Graig Cooper rushed for 841 yards and four scores on a 4.9 YPC. He also registered 29 catches for 113 receiving yards. Additionally, Cooper took a punt return to the house in 2008.
Good news? Plays fast. Bad news? Can't stay healthy.
Graig Cooper Draft Profile (via ProFootballWeekly)
Miami RB Graig Cooper is a quick change-of-pace back who flashes big-play ability, but he'll be 18 months removed from surgery as a rookie--can he fully recover?

Armando Allen Jr., RB, Notre Dame
Height: 5-8. Weight: 201.
Projected 40 Time: 4.50.
Combine 40 Time: DNP.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.60.
Benchx225: 23. Vertical: 10-0. Broad: .
Projected Round (2011): 7-FA.
10/1/10: Allen is averaging 5.0 yards per carry this year and seems to have improved his burst through the hole and power.
3/29/10: Bothered by an ankle injury all year, Armando Allen rushed for 697 yards on a 4.9 YPC. He also caught 28 passes. He didn't do any work on special teams.
His short frame means he is bulkier that other guys in his weight class.

Seems like he plays faster than his 40 time suggests.
Brandon Saine, RB, Ohio State
Height: 5-11. Weight: 220.
Projected 40 Time: 4.40.
Combine 40 Time: 4.44.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.40.
Benchx225: . Vertical: 34.5. Broad: .
Projected Round (2011): 7-FA.
3/17/11: Brandon Saine once again ran a great 40, notching a 4.40 at his Pro Day. His 10-yard split of 1.53 was very good.
3/29/10: Brandon Saine rushed for 739 yards (5.1 YPC) and caught 17 passes for 224 more yards in his first year without Chris Wells on the roster.
Saine is a very good pass catcher.
Brandon Saine (via jefrow34)
Damien Berry, RB, Miami
Height: 5-10. Weight: 206.
Projected 40 Time: 4.40.
Combine 40 Time: 4.59.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.45.
Benchx225: 23. Vertical: 33.5. Broad: 10-0.
Projected Round (2011): 7-FA.
3/27/11: Damien Berry shed five pounds since the Combine. That helped improve his 40 time, as he dropped down to a 4.45. For a running back who was benched late in the year, every little bit helps.
2/28/11: Fumbling issues resulted in a late-season benching.

3/29/10: For the second consecutive year, Emmanuel Moody carried the ball only 58 times, this time compiling 378 yards (6.5 YPC).
2/6/09: Emmanuel Moody carried the ball just 58 times, but managed 417 yards (7.2 YPC) and a touchdown in 2008.
7/25/08: Emmanuel Moody had to transfer out of USC because of the crazy number of running backs on that roster. Moody showed a lot of promise as a freshman in 2006, rushing for 459 yards on a 5.8 clip.
Moody was UF's redzone back and, occasionally, in 3rd and short situations.
C.J. Gable, RB, USC

5/21/08: C.J. Gable missed most of the 2007 season with a groin injury.
2007: C.J. Gable finished third on the Trojans in rushing, but he picked it up at the end of his freshman year, garnering 91 yards against California, 107 versus Notre Dame and 52 at UCLA.

Residents of Worcester, MA, might have to look twice when spotting Frank and Louie the cat. With one body and two faces this record-breaking 'duo', seen on MassLive.com, is one of a kind –for being the longest surviving cat with the condition. At twelve years old they are unlike other Janus cats (named after the Roman God with two heads) because most will die shortly after birth.
Diprosopus is the medical term used to describe facial duplication, and it can occur in many animals, even humans. In 2008 a girl from India was born with the same congenital disorder, though sadly died of a heart attack a few months later. Although the predicament is often said to be a form of conjoined twinning, some research points to the interestingly named 'sonic hedgehog homolog' (SHH) protein. Scientific investigations show that when this is produced in excess, the duplication of facial structures can occur.
But now on to a compelling question: Are Frank and Louie of one mind or have two brains managed to fit into their/his skull? The answer is that the two faces share a brain. This means it is one cat with two faces rather than two cats sharing a body. The cat should technically then be referred to as 'him', instead of as 'they' or 'them'. This likens these special types of cats to the god Janus even more, because he is also recognized in the singular form.
See Frank and Louie the cat in the Guinness Book of World Records 2012.

Mascot Search
A Mascot in the Making
You might be destined to be a Hokie, a Hoo or a Havoc-wreaking Ram, but what are you right now? What are you as a Tyler student?
Tyler needs a mascot, and we need your help to find the perfect one!
The College's new mascot should:
- Engender pride and affection for John Tyler
- Have a connection to the unique personality of the College
- Be compatible with the Tyler logo and color palette, supporting marketing and communications
Sharing your mascot ideas is simple:
Use #tylermascot on:
Be sure to include why your mascot is the perfect pick.
Or, e-mail your ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We're gathering ideas this semester, and over the summer, we'll refine the best ideas into more developed concepts. We'll share those concepts in the fall semester and have a community vote on Tyler's next mascot.
Latest ideas:
- Mini Bull Terrier: Bull Terriers are extremely intelligent but they march to the beat of their own drum. Determined, bold, gregarious, friendly, fun, unique and a rare, wonderful breed. His name could be Tyler. Rarely are mascots a domestic animal, except for the Bulldog, which makes it a unique mascot on its own. It could be a white bull terrier who is splatter- painted to signify all the diversity within the school.
- The Wolfhounds: President John Tyler had two of these giant dogs while he was in the White House.
- A Platypus named Chesterfield: It is unique and represents the diversity of the school in all of its options for learning as it has so many diverse characteristics itself: bill like a duck, fur like a mole, tail like a beaver, feet like an otter, etc.
- The Knights
- Tyler Trailblazers: A trailblazer creates a path, and in this case, it's a path to a successful future.
- A Clydesdale or a horse: John Tyler was president between the years of 1841 and 1845, during which time America was seeing a tremendous growth in not only size but in political stature. When you think of a country in its early years people tend to think of the people, the land, and the resources. Among those resources are animals, namely horses….Horses have always been viewed as a strong, intelligent, and kind creature. Those characteristics should be associated with the students that attend John Tyler. Though some of us are young we are still strong individuals for getting where we are today by having strong will power and a determination to better ourselves. We are intelligent, as the college's logo explains we are unexpected, and we always rise to the occasion. We are also kind. There are clubs, groups, and even courses that are dedicated to helping one another.
- The Mavericks: A horse wearing a battlefield type uniform and named The General. John Tyler was a Maverick of sorts as a politician. A maverick by definition is also a horse. His favorite horse's name was The General.
- The John Tyler Rockets: Blasting off at the speed of education!
- The Tyler Tigers: A tiger's face would be a beautiful symbol that could capture the spirit of the student body. It can inspire students to tap into their inner strengths and hidden potentials. Its striking presence alone inspires "awe."
- The John Tyler Generals: Named after John Tyler's favorite horse "General."
- A presidential mascot: One that looks like president John Tyler. We can call him "JT."
- The John Tyler Patriots: President Tyler had a connection to the Whig party.
- A Mascot Mash-up: This suggestion went a little something like this, "Is it terribly telepathic of me to suggest that the terrific, tenacious Tyler Tiger trail blazes triumph for RVA-ers who tackle tall targets?"
- #Presidents #Chargers #Scouts #Warriors #Talons #Tigers
- The Jokers
- A Stag: The stag has been used on Coat of Arms for centuries and most famously in England during medieval times. The Stag is also a native animal to Virginia and represents peace and tranquility but also stern and ruthlessness.
- John Tyler Jamming-Tides: Overcoming the currents of life to achieve success! It has alliteration. Also, in Richmond we are known for the James River, so I thought of Jamming-Tides (powerful tides) then to use the slogan of overcoming currents (the challenges). Alternate: James-Tides (for the James River)
- Screaming Eagles: It is a mascot that represent pride, charisma, and fearlessness. We scream our pride and will face all of life's challenges with that pride and fearlessness.
- The Tyler Tygers (Tiger): As far as I know the running club is the only active athletic team we have, besides the soccer team. We are fast and agressive like tigers, and we are making our mark in the athletic community. We have taken quite a few age division awards.
- Aristocrats: It ties to John Tyler's family roots, and it fits with the current logo.
- John Tyler Giant Isopods:Sure, superficially a foot long crustacean that closely resembles a woodlouse might not seem like the best candidate for a mascot. However, if one looks past its hardened exoskeleton, and deep into its compound eyes, it's easy to see why the giant isopod is exactly what this college needs. No it doesn't have the prestige of a horse, or the cunning of a mini bull terrier, but anything that lives 2000 meters below the ocean's surface and can survive 5 years without eating does have one quality that we can all respect, and that's fortitude. We've all been down on our luck, but none of us has ever been so unlucky that we were 6,500 feet under the ocean in the pitch black with nothing to eat. If our little giant isopod can live in those conditions then surely it can serve as a symbol of determination and hope for all. Finally, with our school's motto being "we're not what you'd expect", why should our mascot be any less?
- A warhorse called John: Tying in with both Tyler's warhorse General and the school's namesake, the warhorse could also be called 'Jonathon' to distinguish itself from the school or president. John (horse) could wear a simple Civil-War era saddle with colorful bridle and blanket showcasing the school's colors. A possible team name could be 'The Warhorses'.
- The talented and tenacious Teals: What's in the world is a Teal might you ask? Well it is a breed of duck. No not a Mallard, but a close-close cousin to the more common, Blue Winged Teals which can be found migrating through Virginia. Green Winged Teals, are commonly known as Greenwings, can also be seen migrating along the east coast (if you look hard enough) primarily during the winter seasons, including the surrounding Virginia area. They have a gorgeous russet/ burgundy head with a very dramatic and vibrant aqua/green or teal, as the name suggests, band of color that originates from behind the eyes and down along the nape of their necks. This beautiful green band of color can also be found at the base of the secondary feathers of the bird's wings (also known as the Speculum) which is also flanked by bands of yellow and black, maintaining a very dapper and unique appearance. The natural coloration of these unique birds conveniently lends itself to the color pallet that has already been established for John Tyler Community College.
The talented, tenacious Teals would be a wonderful mascot and representation for John Tyler Community College, because it is a very majestic creature with a very unique outer beauty. Yet, don't be mistaken, even though this bird is small, even for a duck, they do have a very sharp serrated bill, and can be quite territorial and protective of their flock when they need to be.Naturally, this bird is both stealthy, extremely fast, and an excellent representation of a what it takes to be a team player! Did you know that ducks have also been embedded in the rich history of our geographical area, too? Ducks have served a vital role in Native American folklore in tribes along the Eastern Coast.
An Italian Greyhound or a Greyhound: President John Tyler had an Italian Greyhound as pet when he was president named Le Beau. It would be an attractive image and make for great slogans. "Speed your way to a great education" "Accelerate your success at JTCC"
Tyler Archers: John Tyler's home was called Sherwood Forest, which was known in legend for a famous archer, and our students and staff are always aiming for excellence
A groundhog: There is always one on the campus grounds in Chester.
Tornados, panthers or bobcats
The Settlers - To represent the English and French who originally settled in Midlothian and Chester
John Tyler Mavericks - President John Tyler was considered a political maverick, and many students can be considered mavericks for choosing to follow a unique path. #tylermascot

Regular blog readers will be familiar with writer Lindsay Stanberry-Flynn – the prize-winning author of Unravelling, who was picked up by Cinnamon Press last year for her second novel, The Piano Player's Son. Cinnamon Press are running a promotion this weekend and you can download the Kindle version of The Piano Player's Son for FREE! The Kindle edition is usually priced at £4.49, so this is a significant saving – grab it while you can :)
And here's a bit more about it:
Family is all-important to Isabel. Her parents have an idyllic marriage, and she has tried hard to create one for herself. However, all pretense is shattered when her husband leaves her. On top of this her father dies, leaving Isabel devastated. Then her mother confides in her: behind her parents' apparently happy marriage was a secret kept for more than three decades. Isabel is staggered by the revelation. Against a back-drop of events that will devastate all their lives and amongst a maelstrom of emotion, breakdown, loss and competing claims, Lindsay Stanberry-Flynn weaves a careful and detailed story of how fragile people negotiate or fail to negotiate challenges and crises; keep secrets, fall apart or try to recover a sense of integrity in the midst of human mess.
The Piano Player's Son has 14 x 5 star reviews on Amazon – in fact, it has nothing but 5 star reviews, which does not surprise me at all. It's a great book, characteristic of Lindsay's flawless writing talent. Please download and share, share, share.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) -- South Africa's presidency says former leader Nelson Mandela will spend Christmas Day in hospital.
The presidency says in a statement that Mandela's doctors confirmed the news on Monday. The anti-apartheid figure was admitted Dec. 8 to a hospital in Pretoria, the South African capital. He was diagnosed with a lung infection and had a procedure to remove gallstones; officials have said Mandela is improving and is responding to treatment.
South African President Jacob Zuma says the whole country is behind Mandela and he is urging people to keep the former president in their thoughts on Christmas Day and throughout the holiday season. Zuma describes Mandela, who was imprisoned under apartheid for 27 years, as an "ardent fighter."

Angelique's sacrifice pays off
Seaforth graduate funds studies from baked products, extra lessons
BY INGRID BROWN Associate editor — special assignment email@example.com
FROM selling home-baked pastry at school to offering extra lessons at a cost to fellow students, Angelique Bateau always sought innovative ways of earning enough money to offset the cost of her high school education when the load became too heavy for her mother who is a single parent.
On Sundays Bateau would work at a supermarket before rushing to her home in Seaforth, St Thomas, to start preparing the baked goods for the week's sale.
The 19-year-old, who recently received an award from the Association of Principals and Vice Principals for outstanding performance in last year's Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE), said it is a sacrifice which has certainly paid off.
"It was a major sacrifice I had to make to get here, but it was well worth it," the recent Seaforth High School graduate told the Jamaica Observer North East shortly after collecting the trophy.
The teen, who excelled in all six CAPE subjects, explained how she would organise her schedule in order to be able to sell snacks at school while balancing the responsibilities of tutoring fellow students and baking to supply the demand for her mouth-watering pastries.
According to Bateau, she first got involved in pastry-making after someone suggested she should start making a living from this talent after tasting a birthday cake she had baked for her pastor.
Bateau didn't need much urging, as she said baking is something she had been doing from age 12 and an activity which had become her favourite pastime. From cupcakes to beautifully decorated birthday cakes, the teen said she does it all.
She immediately got the assistance of a 'Ms Ramsay', who worked in the school's cafeteria and who offered to sell the pastry on her behalf.
"That is how I started baking two nights per week and I would take them to school for sale in the canteen and then go back home to get ready for the afternoon shift," she explained.
The teen said she needed all the money she could make in order to ensure that she could afford to pay for her extra lessons in preparation for the exams.
"My extra class fee was $500 (per session) and I didn't want to miss any of them, so I would make sure that I had that money," she explained.
Despite all her efforts, Bateau said she did not expect to have passed all six CAPE subjects that she sat, given her challenging circumstances. She gained passes in communication studies, management of business, sociology, maths, Caribbean studies, and environmental studies.
"I certainly congratulate myself, because although I did my best I didn't expect it," she said, adding "even now I am in shock."
The teen said her life's goal is to become a bank manager and she intends to pull out all stops to ensure that dream is fulfilled.
Bateau is now focusing on acquiring enough funds to secure a place at the University of the West Indies where she hopes to be able to pursue studies in banking and finance.
However, before that, Bateau said she is in the process of attending evening classes to do some science subjects which she believes are necessary to afford her the opportunity of a second career choice if it takes longer than usual to establish a career in banking.
The teen said she is now trying to get a full-time job to be able to continue this current phase of her studies, but that is easier said than done.
Since graduating last July, Bateau said she has sought desperately to get hired but has been unsuccessful as she is being told she is too qualified for some positions and under-qualified for others.
The teen said she wanted to expand her baking business but has been unable to do so as she no longer has access to a functioning oven.
"I had even introduced my baking products to a supermarket and they were willing to start selling them for me, but then my oven stopped working and so I can't get that off the ground as yet," she said.

Posts tagged: CHL
Armed2Defend - Ohio Concealed Handgun License training. #5 NRA recruiter in the nation. 338 new members signed up in 9 months in 2012. Already have over 140 signed up so far this year.
Attorney Ken Hanson is an expert in Ohio's gun laws and author of Ohio Guide to Firearm Laws. He specializes in defending Ohio concealed carriers in court and he recently wrote the changes to Ohio's concealed carry laws allowing for the restaurant carry and removing the car carry restrictions. Click here to go to his site.
[Armed2Defend is pleased to have Ken give presentations on Ohio CHL law during our (state mandated) 12 hr marathon CHL classes.]
Ken is a regular speaker at our Concealed Carry classes. We are frequently told by our students that his two-hour presentation on the law is one of highlights of their 12-hour day.
The Ohio AG website has a whole area dedicated to the subject of concealed carry. They even have a link to a "Model Concealed Carry Sign". Unfortunately, it's an "Anti" sign not a "Welcome" sign:
I've sent a message through the Contact tab:
Under "Nature of Concern/Inquiry:" I put:
The only CCW sign provided as a download on your website bans the legal concealed carry of a handgun on posted premises.
Under "How would you like the Attorney General to Help?" I put:
Post this on the website along with (or instead of) the "no guns" sign currently posted:
So far I've only received an auto-reply confirming that my message got through. Maybe if enough of us make the same suggestion we'll see the Buckeye Firearms "CCW Welcome" sign posted along with (or instead of!) the other one.
Armed2Defend provides the 12 hour classroom/range instruction that is required for an Ohio CHL.
Like Kevin says, "this is why we do this training".
Dear Second Amendment Supporter,
By now, we all know the story of William Bartlett, the CHL licensee in Canton who was berated, threatened with execution, and ultimately arrested by a Canton patrolman who falsely accused him of failing to notify.
Upon learning of this travesty, Ohioans for Concealed Carry obtained the dashcam video and posted it on YouTube, where it quickly went viral. OFCC then created a defense fund to make sure that Bartlett was not railroaded. It further contacted Canton officials to ensure that the officers were subject to disciplinary review. We are currently awaiting the results of that process.
In the mean time, notification charges against Bartlett were dismissed by a judge who refused to waste more of the taxpayers' money on a bogus prosecution.
From this and similar incidents, OFCC realized that the notification law needs to change. OFCC now is working with Ohio Senator Jordan on legislation which will eliminate the notification requirement. Canton City Council President Allen Schulman has offered to assist us in this effort.
OFCC is an all-volunteer organization, but it incurs expenses in running its website, paying for postage and phone lines, and retaining legal counsel when representation is required. Membership dues cover some of these expenses, but OFCC needs additional help to be truly proactive for its members, which includes our effort to eliminate the notification law.
To help, please consider making a gift to OFCC to help us expand the work we are doing. OFCC will continue to be a volunteer organization with an unpaid staff. All funds will continue to be used for operations and expenses.
Donations can be made on the website store.

Letter Writer Nails Washington Post for Anti-Palin Bias, Awaits Paper's 'Let's Get Obama' Project
A gem of a letter appeared in the "Free for All" page of letters in Saturday's Washington Post.
"Kindly let us know exactly where on your Web site we should go to participate in your 'Let's Get Obama' project so we can interact with the objective mainstream media," Michael Crawford, of Great Falls, Virginia, concluded.
To understand that kicker, read the letter in full as published in the June 18 newspaper:
In an unprecedented effort, The Post asked readers to help go through a massive dump of e-mail from Sarah Palin's tenure as Alaska governor, hoping that someone will find something that can be used against her.
Without any sense of irony, the June 12 news article "Palin ambitious, protective in e-mails" quoted a "Democratic stategist" solemnly opining that Palin would "avoid interacting with objective, mainstream [media] outlets."
To the contrary, I believe that Palin and millions of other people would be eager to participate in an objective and balanced effort to comb through President Obama's e-mails for potentially embarrassing and politically damaging items.
Kindly let us know exactly where on your Web site we should go to participate in your "Let's Get Obama" project so we can interact with the objective mainstream media.

On Twitter, Mick Foley made a joke to fans who are thinking about going to one of his comedy shows. The former WWE star stated that they were allowed to bring CM Punk signs to his events, which is basically mocking the company for confiscating signs from fans in support of Punk.
A lot of eyes will be tuned in to Comedy Central on February 12, as CM Punk is scheduled to make an appearance on a show called @midnight. Some believe that he might cancel the appearance since the host will more than likely be asking him about his backstage heat with WWE.
At the risk of ruining his chances of signing a new deal with the company involving his stand up comedy show, Mick Foley, whose contract expires in a few weeks, opted to be open and honest by speaking out against WWE for not pushing Daniel Bryan at Royal Rumble 2014.
Wrestling fans who attended the comedy show with Mick Foley in Rochester were in for quite a treat earlier this evening. Former WWE star Edge made a surprise appearance to show support for his good friend.
Now that the holidays are over, Mick Foley is preparing to go back on the road. The WWE legend has eight comedy shows scheduled for the month of January throughout the east and midwest.
With Mick Foley, Dolph Ziggler, William Regal and a couple of others from the wrestling indsutry venturing into the realm of stand up comedy, Edge has informed his fans that he has no intentions of following in their footsteps despite being a pretty funny guy.
Rob Van Dam will be performing his stand up comedy routine tonight at Sal's Comedy Hole in Hollywood. It is a birthday event, and the former WWE and ECW champion was invited to participate.
At the Lincoln Restaurant in Chicago tonight, CM Punk will be headlining a comedy show, where the performers usually make raunchy jokes involving feces.
Hunico and Camacho returned to WWE and taped a match for the Main Event.
WWE will start filming Mick Foley at his comedy shows. There's talks that the company could feature it on a television special or on the long rumored WWE Network.
John Morrison is doing an improv comedy show tonight in Hollywood. He will be appearing at the The Late Live Show at IO West at 11:30pm.
In a good sign for his comedy career, Mick Foley performed in front of a sold out crowd at the Stand in New York City on Sunday night.
Former WWE stars Eugene and Scotty 2 Hotty were both in attendance at the stand up comedy show by Mick Foley last night in Orlando.
Tamina Snuka posted a picture of herself having dinner with the Usos and Camacho.

2014 IIHF World Junior Championships Game 2: United States vs Slovkia
This may not get used much (6:30 in the morning on a Saturday? Yuck) but for you early birds and out-of-towners here's a thread to discuss the United States' second outing at the WJC against Slovakia.
Slovakia is overlooked, generally, when it comes to these competitions but put more goals (9) on Germany than did Canada (7) so there's something there. USA plays Germany, by the way,on Sunday morning en route to their Tuesday meeting with Canada on New Years Eve.
Go USA. Find this one on the NHL Network, and streaming live on NHL.com.
From the IIHF website...
"Last year, the Americans dispatched the Czechs 7-0 in the quarter-finals, and even though there are only three returning U.S. players here in Malmö, the current gap between the two countries at the U20 level was still apparent.
Riley Barber, Will Butcher, Hudson Fasching, Jaccob Slavin and Vince Hinostroza scored for the United States, which just had too much well-organized speed, strength, and skill for the Czechs to counter. And it wasn't if as coach Miroslav Prerost's squad wasn't trying.
"It's always good to get the cobwebs out and get a convincing win," said Barber. "I thought our team played great."
Defenceman Michal Plutnar had the lone goal for the Czechs.
Goalie Jon Gillies, who played just 20 minutes behind MVP John Gibson in last year's tournament in Russia, recorded his first World Junior win as a starter. The U.S. outshot the Czechs 33-24.
The Czechs, who are seeking their first medal since 2005's bronze, got off to a terrible start.
It took just 1:21 for the Americans to open the scoring on the power play. Barber, the American captain, raced down left wing, and let a backhand go from the side boards. Somehow, it squeezed past the right skate of Czech netminder Daniel Dolejs from a bad angle."

Hyde Park, Vermont - August 7, 2006
A quiet railbed is generating a lot of noise-- public debate over the proposed Lamoille Valley Rail Trail.
"You're not going to make everybody happy. You have a lot of supporters and opponents on this ATV issue, primarily," explained Vt. Transportation Agency Deputy Secretary David Dill.
The issue-- whether ATVs should be allowed on the trail, even just to cross it. Officially, the Agency of Transportation has deferred discussion on ATVs until the next legislative session. But at a public hearing Monday night on terms of the trail's lease, it's what most people wanted to talk about.
"One of the most serious problems with trails is the impact that ATVs have," said Tom Kastner, who opposes ATVs on the trail. "It's not fair to have resources degraded by the use of ATVs."
"We have a right to ride our ATVs and we think the state should be able to help us," said Anah Tuttle, who supports ATVs on the trail.
The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail is a $7 million project. It would convert 93 miles of old rail line into a four-season, multi-use recreational trail from St. Johnsbury to Swanton. Under the proposed 30 year deal, the state would own and oversee the trail and lease it to the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers, or VAST, for maintenance.
People weighed in at the hearing in Waterbury, and via interactive television.
"Because non-motorized use is non-polluting and quiet, it's incompatible with ATV use. The two are like oil and water," said Jack Daggitt, who opposes ATVs on the trail.
"I'm a 58-year-old woman who has asthma, knee problems. In my club, we have a paraplegic who rides a 4-wheeler, we have gentleman with MS. We are not able to ride bikes or horses, but we can ride an ATV!" argued Tuttle.
The state wants the lease decided before this year's construction season ends, that way something could be in place before the winter snowmobiling season begins. Again, the ATV issue won't be decided until the legislature can take a look.

For those who are opposed to the idea of fate, let me offer the story of my first encounter with Mercyful Fate. I was in eighth grade at the time, and being a newbie to the metal genre, I was mainly listening to acts like Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne. Browsing the discount tape rack at The Wall (yes, this was a long time ago), I came across "In the Shadows" by Mercyful Fate. I hadn't heard of this band before, let alone their monumental impact on the heavy metal world, but the album cover looked enticing and the $2 price tag assured me that I wouldn't be too disappointed if the album did happen to be a flop. Upon entering my room and removing the tape from its case, I was greeted by a photo of a menacing madman in black and white corpse paint, an upside down cross adorning his forehead.
It was music unlike anything I had ever heard before, and was the only album I listed to for weeks. To this day, I still consider "In the Shadows" to be my first encounter with true heavy metal. A meager $2 gamble that forever changed my musical experience.
Though not quite up to par with Mercyful Fate's heavier material from the early 80's, "In the Shadows" is a fantastic album with only a minor amount of patchy points, and to me, the best thing King Diamond did in the 90's (be it Fate, or solo material). King's voice on the album is at a perfect equilibrium. There's still alot of the trademark falsettos on the album (as opposed to his more recent vocal outings), yet it's not overbearing as it sounds on albums such as "Abigail" or "Them", making it a great introductory album for those whose ears are still virgins to King's unorthodox singing style. Highly recommended.
As a funny denouement to my story, when I first opened up the cassette case for "In the Shadows", I noticed that Lars Ulrich played drums on the track "Return of the Vampire…1993″. Being naive and unaware, I thought `wow, this no name band should probably be thankful that Lars is on this album'. Hahaha, oh how stupid I was. But seriously, this is one Hell of a comeback from one of metal's most pivotal acts. Buy.

Consumer Law
Law Firm Files RICO Suit Over Restaurant's Menu Claims
Posted Sep 15, 2008 10:25 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
A Washington, D.C., law firm has filed a federal class action against the Applebee's national restaurant chain, contending that its "Weight Watchers" menu items aren't as healthy as advertised.
Independent testing of the Weight Watchers menu choices actually being served at various Applebee's around the U.S. allegedly showed that "many dishes contain up to three times the amount of fat and more calories than advertised" on the restaurant's menu, reports the Washington Business Journal. So a plaintiff customer filed suit on behalf of himself and others, seeking injunctive relief and damages under Kansas consumer protection law and the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
"For instance, the suit says, Applebee's Weight Watchers Cajun Lime Tilapia is advertised as having 6 grams of fat and 310 calories, but when tested was found to actually contain more than twice as much fat (14.3 grams) and 25 percent more calories (401) than advertised," writes the Kansas City Star.
"If I had known the truth," lead plaintiff Antonio Fidelis Valiente tells the newspaper, "I never would have eaten at Applebee's."
The lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Kansas by the Gilbert Randolph law firm, names as defendants Applebee's International Inc., parent company DineEquity Inc., and Weight Watchers Inc., the Washington Business Journal reports. The plaintiff class includes all customers who purchased items from the Weight Watchers menu at Applebee's since it was introduced in 2004.
A DineEquity spokesperson says the company doesn't believe the suit has merit, declining to comment further.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- A union has contributed $5,000 to an effort to help one of West Virginia's most economically depressed counties.
The Charleston Gazette reports that the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades presented the donation to Reconnecting McDowell on Tuesday.
Reconnecting McDowell is a public-private partnership working to improve life in McDowell County. The county is plagued with poor academic performance, drug abuse and poverty.
American Federation of Teachers state chapter president Christine Campbell is encouraging other unions to contribute. The AFT is leading efforts to raise money for Reconnecting McDowell.

Hi: 21° Lo:9°
By Ian Dipple Friday 17 January 2014 Updated: 17/01 09:52
THE SALE of Redditch Youth House could be put on hold because of concerns over the way the process was carried out.
Redditch North councillors Graham Vickery and Robin Lunn, which represent the area the Ipsley Street building is in, want clarification regarding a number of issues to do with the sale and have asked for the review.
The issue will be briefly discussed at a meeting at County Hall today (Friday) before being scrutinised in detail at a further meeting in March.
If substantial failings are found with the process then potentially it could have to be repeated.
The Standard reported in December how questions had been raised over the sale of the building, closed in 2012 as part of £1.4million of budget cuts by Worcestershire County Council.
Issues included why two bids from community groups were turned down even though one was believed to be just 13 per cent below market value, and why a third offer from a private entrepreneur which contained a community aspect was not considered properly.
There are also concerns about how the social benefit of bids was factored in to the value of the community offers made and allegations about information being leaked during the process.
It has also been claimed the final offer accepted was below the £225,000 asking price.
Coun Lunn told the Standard it was important issues raised were dealt with so they could be resolved before other buildings were sold in the future.
"We have concerns with how the sale was carried out from start to finish," he said.
"We are stopping the sale for now but we can't stop it permanently, but we want clear answers, particularly in relation to those bids in November."
But a spokeswoman for the county council refused to confirm the sale of the building had been put on hold.
"The decision to sell Redditch Youth House was taken by Cabinet and, following a comprehensive marketing exercise, a preferred bidder has been identified.
"Agreement to the final details of the sale is delegated to the Head of Property Services. Referring the process to scrutiny does not, in itself, require the sale to be put on hold."
She said they were unable to comment further on the specific details of the sale during the consultation period.

First Phase of High Line Is Ready for Strolling – ArtsBeat Blog – NYTimes.com
By Robin Pogrebin
Standing on a newly renovated stretch of an elevated promenade that was once a railway line for delivering cattle — surrounded by the community activists, elected officials and architects who made the transformation happen — Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg cut a red ribbon on Monday morning to signify that the first phase of the High Line is finished and ready for strolling. (Panoramic view here and a map here.)
Calling the High Line, which opens to the public on Tuesday, "an extraordinary gift to our city's future," Mr. Bloomberg said, "today, we're about to unwrap that gift.'' He added, "it really does live up to its highest expectations."
The first portion of the three-section High Line, which runs along the Hudson River from Gansevoort Street to West 20th Street, will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. There are entrances at Gansevoort Street (steps) and at 16th Street (elevator); exits are located every few blocks.
New NYC Park– the High Line is Open

Wild and inviting. This is great! We lived in NYC for nine years and at that time loved parks, especially Central Park.

Bloomberg only became a republican right before the 2001 mayors election. He was never a conservative and was never useful! If the republicans "got their asses kicked" why do they still hold the house? They also gained governor seats which is important because now many States will not set up health care exchanges which is critical in the full implementation of Obamacare. The Supreme Court decision gave the states that right. I'm sure your liberal news stations never advised you of that, did they? Furthermore, since Obama keeps spending money that we don't have and all of you liberals supported him, I hope your taxes do go up! Obama is acting like a baby! I hope the republicans stand firm and don't give in! Taxes aren't so great when everyones goes up are they? You preach the rich should pay more, well liberal, so should yours and every lib that voted for him! What, don't like that, huh? Ha! Remember, Biden said "paying taxes is patriotic!" Well, do your duty and pay more!<quoted text>
Bloomberg isn't a liberal. He was a Republican until 2007. He left because he couldn't stand being in the same party with morons like you. Now he is an Independent. Yes, we will all pay more in taxes because Republicans refuse to increase taxes on the wealthy. So.....Republicans are pushing the U.S. off the fiscal cliff to protect the 1% with all the wealth. Of course, you will blame Obama when the Republicans cause another recession and higher taxes because you have shit for brains. We all know this. Now you know this too. Polls show the vast majority of Americans believe the Republican party is too extreme. People like you will fade into irrelevance and will no longer have any influence in the political process. The ass kicking the Republicans got in November confirms that assholeslikeyou are done. Only four more days until Christmas. Maybe Santa will bring you a box of Kleenex, but I doubt it.

South Wimbledon drug user, 27, took his own life, inquest hears
3:54pm Wednesday 12th March 2014 in News By Becky Middleton, Chief Reporter
A regular cannabis user and heavy drinker took his own life after years of suffering from mental health problems, an inquest heard.
Jonathan Burrage, of Hudson Court, Pincott Road, South Wimbledon, left his family home and went for a walk in the early hours of January 6 and never returned.
His dead body was found by a police dog walker in Morden Hall Park, senior coroner Fiona Wilcox heard.
Mr Burrage, 27, began using cannabis daily aged 12 and was later diagnosed with an unstable personality disorder.
He had previously been under the care of the Wimbledon community health team and at the age of 17 had suicidal thoughts and was self-harming.
The hearing on Tuesday, March 11, at the Royal Courts of Justice in London heard Mr Burrage used alcohol excessively and occasionally took magic mushrooms as well as cannabis.
A postmortem examination at St George's Hospital found numerous self harm scars and the cause of death as a ligature impression of the neck.
Dr Wilcox said: "He had a long history of the misuse of cannabis.
"He drank alcohol every day – up to 11 cans a day.
"He was last seen by his sister Victoria. At 2am he was heard to leave the flat, closing the door, which wasn't unusual.
"He would often walk at night and sleep in the day.
"I find Jonathan Burrage took his own life while intoxicated on cannabis."
Dr Wilcox recorded a narrative verdict

I think the way this article has been written is totally insensitive to the family members and friends of Jonathan Burrage. This is not "Wimbledon" news, this is someone's son, brother and friend who, tragically decided to take his own life for reasons not noted here. So please don't make people automatically judge someone, without knowing the facts. You are not only demoralising Jonathan, but also his family and friends who are left behind picking up the pieces. You are writers, please be a bit more sympathetic to those still grieving rather than painting someone out to be just a drug/alcohol user. Mental Health is something a high number of people will go through, whether it be depression or personality disorders. I'm sure everyone reading this article will deal with their own demons at some point in their life. I am absolutely appalled that this article can even make the main page.
