Coffee County- Crosses, flowers and teddy bears line the southbound shoulder of Smith Cemetery Road- a memorial for Kayla,Dustin, Lindsay, Megan and Courtney.
"That's what's bringing us through this is everyone's prayers and support," says Ann Varnedore.
She hangs on to memories of 11 year old Dustin and 14 year old Kayla, her children who she now calls angels.
"They were always wanting to go somewhere and always wanted to do something. Dustin just had the biggest smile and Kayla was just silly all the time. They were just fun to be around; they kept everybody happy," adds Varnedore.
"I've told several parents if you've got young ones, cherish them while you've got them because you don't know one day from the next what's going to happen," says Lindsay Joyner's mother, Terri.
Joyner smiles when she looks at Glamour Shots of her daughter Lindsay, one of the few times the softball star ever dressed up.
"With all the support that we've had it's really helped. I just want to thank everybody that's had a hand in it," Joyner says.
One of those people is Bernie Evans the former principal of four of the children. Evans has set up a fund for the families.
"The family immediately became overwhelmed with food and then they said 'well what if we want to make a donation could we do that,' so, after a few of those calls I realized that we need to establish a fund," explains Evans.
Both Varnedore and Joyner say the community support is helping them through the most painful time of their lives.
The families also say knowing one child Heather Bass, survived the wreck has helped through the grieving process. They say she should be released from Savannah Memorial hospital within the next few days.
Donations to the Ambrose Children's Fund can be made at First National Bank of Coffee County, P. O. Box 1679, Douglas, Georgia 31534. All donations will be divided equally between the families of the six children.

It only took two and a half years, but it looks as if Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem may finally be coming back to the San Jose-based fight promotion.
"Demolition Man" tweeted that he's "probably" going to fight longtime nemesis Brett Rogers at the Showtime event planned for May 15 in St. Louis.
Overeem (32-11) was expected to return in 2009 until he suffered a hand injury from beating up rent-a-cops in Holland, effectively keeping himself from two of last year's summer events.
During his absence, Rogers (10-1) floored one Russian and got knocked out by another.
But that didn't keep him from calling out Overeem for his extended absence. While the pillar of Golden Glory racked up a 7-0-1 MMA record against lesser competition overseas, "The Grim" felt like his new and improved physique was to blame for his failure to appear stateside.
If you're a title holder, I'm sorry man but you should be fighting at least a couple of times a year. No excuses. If you can't get the job done then give it up. One, I say he's ducking me. He knows I'm gonna get him. I could care less who he is. Two, I don't think he can fight in the states right now. I don't think you can get that big in such a small amount of time. I don't know, who knows."
Of course Overeem wasn't going to just sit idly by while the former tire mechanic dragged his name through mud.
"I will not comment on [Brett Rogers], I am very busy with K-1 right now, with all the fight I have there. When there will be time to meet in the ring he will see. For now, I will not comment. I am very busy these days, I have a fight in Glory, then in DREAM.12 and after that I'll fight in the K-1 Finals so I am very busy with training and fighting and I don't have time for this bullshit."
It's going to be interesting to see what happens when these two mammoth strikers collide if they do in fact become official for the May 15 Showtime event, which is also expected to feature a heavyweight battle between Andrei Arlovski and Antonio Silva.
Stay tuned.

News: Los Angeles Police Seeking Wiz Khalifa Over Hollywood Incident
Monday, Sep 24, 2012 1:00PM
The Los Angeles Police Department is reportedly on the prowl to snag rapper Wiz Khalifa up for questioning over his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run accident last week.
Details of what allegedly went down surfaced online Monday (September 24) morning.
The LAPD wants to have a chit chat with Wiz Khalifa ... because a woman told cops the rapper smashed into her car and then fled. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, the lady filed a hit-and-run report following the crash last Wednesday. Cops are investigating to figure out wassup. We're told the alleged victim had been working on a music video shoot with Wiz and she claims the alleged accident occurred around midnight when everyone was leaving the set. Cops are attempting to reach Wiz. Calls to Wiz's rep have not been returned. (TMZ)
No stranger to the law, Khalifa found himself in handcuffs last spring on a drug-related charge.
In May, he was arrested in North Carolina after the officers pulled over his tour bus following a concert in Winston-Salem and discovered 11.39 grams of marijuana after searching the vehicle. Ten days earlier, he was cautioned for the same offence after he was discovered in a hotel room smoking a joint following complaints from other guests. Although Wiz - real name Cameron Jibril Thomaz - tried to get rid of the evidence by throwing the drug-laced cigarette out of his window before letting the police in the officers recovered the joint and the musician then confessed to having another 3.7g of marijuana in his pocket. (Monsters & Critics)
Known for his love of vehicles, Wiz recently revealed his first big purchase came in the form of a pricey whip.
What was the first thing you bought when you got rich? My 2011 [Dodge] Challenger. The black and yellow car from the video. How much did it cost? I think it was $40,000. I didn't buy it straight out because I wanted to build my credit up. I've got a couple cars that I bought straight out, but I didn't buy this one straight out. I'm actually still making payments on it even though I could buy it. It's good to have bills. Keeps your credit looking good. When did you buy it? This was like 2010. Where did you buy it? Back in Pittsburgh. (Complex)
This year, he just missed the top ten of Forbes' Hip-Hop Cash Kings list.
1. Dr. Dre - $110 million 2. Diddy - $45 million 3. Jay-Z - $38 million 4. Kanye West - $35 million 5. Lil Wayne - $27 million 6 Drake - $20.5 million 7. Birdman - $20 million 8. Nicki Minaj - $15.5 million 9. Eminem - $15 million 10. Ludacris - $12 million 11. Pitbull - $9.5 million 12. Rick Ross - $9 million (tie) 12. Wiz Khalifa - $9 million (tie) 14. Snoop Dogg - $8.5 million 15. 50 Cent - $7.5 million 16. Swizz Beatz - $7 million (tie) 16. Pharrell - $7 million (tie) 16. Young Jeezy - $7 million (tie) 19. Mac Miller - $6.5 million 20. Akon - $6 million 20. Timbaland - $6 million 20. Tech N9ne - $6 million (Rap-Up)

Amy Goodman is just one of many who have been arrested.
Meanwhile, Chris Matthews is inside the hall, jabbering about "the game."
From Munich420:
A post on the Minnesota Independent has a link to ColdSnapLegal's invaluable twitter, which shows a detailed breakdown of prior incidents involving police and protesters that have been happening throughout the day. The twitter shows a report of Democracy Now! journalists being arrested and includes Amy Goodman.
Except from the here:
Journalists and medics along with protesters are being pepper sprayed and gassed as riot police show no respect for Americans' constitutional right to practice civic freedom.
Rubber bullets are being used on protesters.
Squad cars are driving into crowds and dispersing them.
Ramsey City Jail is on lockdown refusing arrestees or detainees access to lawyers and St. Joseph Hospital is on lockdown denying arrestees or detainees water.
Members of I-Witness Video, a group that, according to their website, "uses video to protect civil liberties" and "probe police actions at First Amendment events" have been victim of "preemptive video arrest."
A comment on a DailyKos post titled, "UPDATE: Rubber Bullets, Water Cannons, Pepper Spray, Tear Gas in St. Paul," explains how I-Witness is being put under house arrest and facing threats of seizure of their computers and video cameras because of their success in exposing police misconduct during the 2004 Republican National Convention.

Police, National Guard, fire tear gas into protest group
Local police and Minnesota National Guard units are using a combination of pepper spray, concussion grenades and tear gas on a group of breakaway protesters gathered on Kellogg Boulevard in downtown St. Paul. The group of about 150 protesters, many thought to be with the group "Funk the War," had been blocking traffic for much of the afternoon.
At least one person — a young man wearing a gas mask, no shirt and a backpack — was taken into custody. He lay down on the street as a group of officers surrounded him and took him away.
Police also escorted a group of 17 mostly black-clad youth across the Robert St. Bridge in an apparent effort to get them out of downtown.
Rubber bullets were fired into a crowd at Seventh and Robert Streets. At Seventh and Jackson, police have more than a dozen people in a parking lot as police handcuff them. Police continued to spray the crowd with pepper spray. More details are to come. full story

Mike Burke 646-552-5107, email@example.com
ST. PAUL, MN—Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman was unlawfully arrested
in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota at approximately 5 p.m. local time.
Police violently manhandled Goodman, yanking her arm, as they arrested
her. Video of her arrest can be seen here:
Goodman was arrested while attempting to free two Democracy Now!
producers who were being unlawfully detained. They are Sharif Abdel Kouddous
and Nicole Salazar. Kouddous and Salazar were arrested while they
carried out their journalistic duties in covering street demonstrations at
the Republican National Convention. Goodman's crime appears to have been
defending her colleagues and the freedom of the press.
Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher told Democracy Now! that Kouddous
and Salazar were being arrested on suspicion of rioting. They are
currently being held at the Ramsey County jail in St. Paul.
Democracy Now! is calling on all journalists and concerned citizens to
call the office of Mayor Chris Coleman and the Ramsey County Jail and
demand the immediate release of Goodman, Kouddous and Salazar. These
calls can be directed to: Chris Rider from Mayor Coleman's office at
651-266-8535 and the Ramsey County Jail at 651-266-9350 (press extension
Democracy Now! stands by Goodman, Kouddous and Salazar and condemns
this action by Twin Cities law enforcement as a clear violation of the
freedom of the press and the First Amendment rights of these journalists.
During the demonstration in which they were arrested law enforcement
officers used pepper spray, rubber bullets, concussion grenades and
excessive force. Several dozen others were also arrested during this action.
Amy Goodman is one of the most well-known and well-respected
journalists in the United States. She has received journalism's top honors for
her reporting and has a distinguished reputation of bravery and courage.
The arrest of Goodman, Kouddous and Salazar is a transparent attempt
to intimidate journalists from the nation's leading independent news
Democracy Now! is a nationally syndicated public TV and radio program
that airs on over 700 radio and TV stations across the US and the globe.

Report: Massive, warrantless raids on peace protesters in Minneapolis, ahead of RNC.September 1, 2008
from BoingBoing:
Glenn Greenwald at Salon.com reports that protesters in Minneapolis, where the Republican National Convention will soon begin, have been subjected to massive, pre-emptive police raids. Those arrested include members of Food not Bombs, and a group calling itself the "RNC Welcoming Committee," and a group that uses video to protect civil liberties by documenting police activity at first amendment events.
Thousands expected today for protestSeptember 1, 2008
Despite the big-name cancellations and the preconvention police raids, organizers expect thousands of anti-war demonstrators to march this afternoon from the State Capitol to the site of the Republican National Convention.
They say their passion will not be dampened now that President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are skipping their convention speeches because of Hurricane Gustav. If anything, they say, the storm enhances their message that investing in human needs must outweigh waging an expensive war.
But the protesters are also concerned that aggressive police tactics could cull their numbers, which they estimate could reach 50,000 today.
"Even if the two main actors in the U.S. war in Iraq won't be there, that will not deter people from sending a loud message to the Republican Party and the country that we need to use our resources on human needs and saving people at home, not killing them abroad," said Meredith Aby, a Minneapolis organizer working with a coalition of 130 anti-war groups, labor unions and community organizations to plan today's march.
Police state MinneapolisSeptember 1, 2008
from Left I on the News:
The Republicans may be fleeing from Minneapolis as fast as they can now that they have a convenient excuse for doing so, but their police state remains behind. Numerous blogs and others are doing a great job covering what's happening, but Glenn Greenwald (here and here) is probably the best place to go:
Protesters here in Minneapolis have been targeted by a series of highly intimidating, sweeping police raids across the city, involving teams of 25-30 officers in riot gear, with semi-automatic weapons drawn, entering homes of those suspected of planning protests, handcuffing and forcing them to lay on the floor, while law enforcement officers searched the homes, seizing computers, journals, and political pamphlets.Troops Out Now Coalition has an online petition demanding an end to these outrages.
As Greenwald writes, we heard an awful lot about Chinese suppression of protest in advance of and during the Olympics (although the suppression wasn't so great that hardly a day passed when I didn't see a Western reporter interviewing someone on the subject). Will the same corporate media, or any Democratic or Republican politician, have anything to say about American suppression of protesters? I'm sure we'll all be shocked if they do.
Activist group condemns 'violent and illegal' police raids; restraining order sought against policeSeptember 1, 2008
from Politics in Minnesota:
A national anti-war activist group, the Troops Out Now Coalition, has set up an online petition drive in the wake of this weekend's police raids and arrests of Republican National Convention protesters.
The petition accuses authorities of using "fear and intimidation" tactics and acting under orders from the RNC to raid three Minneapolis homes and the RNC Welcoming Committee's "Convergence Center" in downtown St. Paul.
"Release the arrestees and drop the phony charges," the petition, on the coalition's website, reads. "I condemn the violent and illegal raids being carried out against activists assembling to protest at the Republican National Convention. I am opposed to any attempts to suppress dissent at the RNC, and I demand that anyone being held be released immediately, all phony charges dropped, and all property seized to be returned.
"Friday and Saturday's raids on the Convergence Center and other locations were outrageous attacks on the rights of people to protest at the RNC. Dissent is not a crime.
"These arrests days before the beginning of the Republican National Convention were an attempt to undercut turnout at the expected massive, legally permitted, anti-war rally planned for Monday, September 1, organized by the March on RNC Coalition, which will gather at the State Capitol and march to the RNC Convention site. The police, acting on orders from the RNC, clearly intend to use tactics of fear and intimidation to impact the days of protest planned for over a year by hundreds of justice and anti-war organizations.
"The only group of people who have come to Minneapolis-St. Paul with criminal intent are the delegates, corporate lobbyists, and politicians who are participating in the Republican National Convention. They are conspiring to continue the illegal war in Iraq. They are conspiring to wage another illegal war against Iran. They are conspiring to steal money from working people and use it to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. They are conspiring to continue to violate basic human rights by engaging in illegal wiretapping, surveillance, and police brutality at home, while running torture camps such as those in Guantanamo, Bagram, and Abu Ghraib.
"People have a right to protest at the RNC. I support and defend that right."
Another site, Twin Cities Indymedia, reported Sunday evening that the National Lawyers Guild, a group of attorneys and law students based in New York, and Communities United Against Police Brutality, a Twin Cities organization, had filed a motion for a temporary restraining order against local police to prevent them from seizing video equipment and cellular phones used by independent media organizations.
The groups said examples of police interference with the right to document their conduct included the beating of CUAPB vice president Darryl Robinson while "copwatching," the seizure of equipment of three journalists with Glass Bead Collective, and the targeting of journalists during a raid on a house in St. Paul Saturday afternoon.
"Another example is the action of Ramsey County sheriff's deputies, who deliberately shut off CUAPB president Michelle Gross' video camera while she was documenting Friday night's raid from inside the convergence space," the groups said. "This action prevented her from documenting the incident in its entirety. Despite their actions, Gross was able to capture about 7½ minutes of video and audio of the beginning of the raid, including use by deputies of a battering ram to force open the door to a upstairs theater where families were watching a film."
Hennepin County Judge Mark Wernick has not yet acted on the request for the restraining order.
Protesters say massive march at RNC is a goSeptember 1, 2008
Police raids don't deter antiwar event
ST. PAUL, Minn. | Organizers of a massive march at the Republican National Convention on Monday say the stage is set for their protest despite the convention's scaled-back activities and a series of law enforcement raids seen by the groups as attempts to quell their right to free speech.
"Plans for tomorrow's massive antiwar march are well in hand," said Jess Sundin, a spokeswoman for the Coalition to March on the RNC and Stop the War. "People will not let the RNC gather in St. Paul without a loud and clear response from us."
The coalition's protest will begin at 11 a.m. with a rally at the Minnesota State Capitol building and continue with a march past the Republican convention headquarters at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. Organizers have said they expect as many as 50,000 people to participate. full article
'They will not crush our spirit,' one protester says of police raidsAugust 31, 2008
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Republican National Convention protesters targeted in a series of police raids Friday night and Saturday say they won't back down from their plans to march on the event's opening day.

"A hardship payment in Jobseeker's Allowance or Employment and Support Allowance is not subject to repayment. The Universal Credit guidance about Recoverable Hardship Payments and Resources is in the Advice for Decision Making guidance, chapter L1"
From: DWP Central FoI Team – 11 July 2013
The YMCA are one of the greatest apologists for workfare and can't even properly advise young people of their benefit sanctions rights. It's young people's sanctions guide goes as far as telling young people that if they are made destitute by JSA sanctions that they have to pay back means tested Hardship Payments. This is utter nonsense.
"Remember, any [JSA] Hardship Payment you get will need to be repaid after your sanction ends. They will normally be paid by reducing your benefit payments when they start again."
[This is utter nonsense.]
From: YMCA England, Young Peoples Sanctions Toolkit – 05/11/2013
No one has to pay back a JSA or ESA Hardship Payments by having reduced benefits once a sanction ceases, that would mean Hardship Payments would be treated as a loan/debt to be recovered through benefits, which for young people would just be a sanction of lesser benefits by another name. YMCA Providing such misleading information further bullies young people to undertake Jobcentre Back to Work schemes.
View of a copy of the JSA/ESA Hardship Payment claim form, internal DWP guidance and details on how to challenge any Jobcentre sanction decision. If you object to YMCA as a religion based provider of Back to Work schemes, you can request the Jobcentre to include a restriction on your Jobseekers Agreement.
At present [30/11/13] nothing on the JSA/ESA Hardship Payment Claim form or DWP guidance that indicates payment is recoverable.
Universal Credit (UC) Hardship Payment is recoverable?
For UC a recoverability regulation for Hardship Payments does exist.

Cannel coal
Cannel coal or candle coal, is a type of bituminous coal now classified as terrestrial type oil shale. Cannel coal comes in part from Lycopsid (scale tree) spores, accumulating in coal swamp pond bottoms of the Carboniferous age. Thus cannel coal seams are shallow and often found above other deposits, while the coal itself, being rich in oils, burns long, with a bright yellow flame and little ash. The modern Lycopodiopsida relatives of these lycopsids (scale trees), with their similar high oil content, high surface area spores, are the source of highly flammable lycopodium powder. Cannel coal is also lower in fixed carbon than typical bituminous coal. Analytically, cannel coal consists of micrinites, macerals of the exinite group, and certain inorganic materials.
In England a member of the Bradshaigh family discovered a plentiful shallow seam of smooth, hard, cannel coal on his estate, near Haigh, Greater Manchester.[1] The shallow depth at which it was found meant it was suitable for the simple surface mining methods available at that time. It could be worked and carved, and was prized for fireplaces as an excellent fuel that burned with a bright flame, was easily lit, and left virtually no ash.
Although historically the term cannel coal has been used interchangeably with boghead coal, a more recent classification system restricts cannel coal to terrestrial origin, and bogshehad coal to lacustrine environments.[2]
Cannel coal commanded a premium price as a grate fuel for use in home fireplaces. It burned longer than wood, and had a clean, bright flame.[3] It is more compact and duller than ordinary coal, and can be worked in the lathe and polished. In the Durham coalfield and elsewhere carving cannel coal into ornaments was a popular pastime amongst the miners.
The excess of hydrogen in a coal, above the amount necessary to combine with its oxygen to form water, is known as disposable hydrogen, and is a measure of the fitness of the coal for use in the manufacture of coal gas. Such coal, although of very small value as fuel, commands a specially high price for gas-making. Cannel coal was used as a major feedstock for the historical manufactured gas industry, as the gas produced from it was valuable for lighting due to the luminosity of the flame it produced. Cannel gas was widely used for domestic lighting throughout the 19th century before the invention of the incandescent gas mantle by Carl Auer von Welsbach in the 1880s. Following the introduction of the gas mantle, cannel coal lost favour as a manufactured gas feedstock as the gas mantle could produce large quantities of light without regard for the flame luminosity of the gas burnt.
On October 17, 1850, James Young, of Glasgow, Scotland, patented a method for the extraction of paraffin from cannel coal. It was widely used from 1850 to 1860 in the manufacture of coal oil, which today would be called shale oil. The principal consumer product was the illuminating oil kerosene. In 1860, there were 55 companies in the United States making coal oil from cannel coal, most of them near the cannel coal mines, in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and western Virginia (now West Virginia). The discovery of petroleum deposits in the US, starting with the Drake Oil Well in 1859, made petroleum a cheaper raw material for making kerosene and drove the American oil shale industry out of business.[4]

TEAMS: New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates
BRADENTON — In order to make room for right-hander A.J. Burnett on the 40-man roster, the Pirates placed infielder Gustavo Nunez on the 60-day disabled list with a right ankle injury.
Nunez, 24, was selected from the Detroit Tigers in the Rule-5 draft in December by the Pirates.
During the 2011 season, Nunez hit .276 with 13 doubles, seven triples, five home runs, 26 RBI and 18 stolen bases in 96 minor league games between High-A Lakeland and Double-A Erie.

Summer campers not put off by cooler weather and look forward to Fall adventures.
JACKSON COUNTY, Mich. (WLNS) - On Thursday morning police found a 2-year-old Jackson County boy wandering alone on a sidewalk.
Police picked up the small child on McDevitt Avenue, near second street in Summit Township.
For five hours, police say they tried to find the boy's family. They went door-to-door in the surrounding area. His father was eventually found a block away, on Meyers Avenue.
The father told police he fell asleep after working third shift the night before.
Right now, the toddler is with human services.

Re-Visit Your Past
Think back to previous attempts at losing weight or exercising. What made you quit before and are you on the same path now? If so, you may be stuck in a pattern you haven't noticed before. Break it by figuring out what went wrong before. Some possibilities:
- A diet that's too strict or difficult to follow
- Feeling deprived of your favorite foods
- Feeling tired and sore from too many workouts
- Confusion about how to exercise the right way
- Being so busy, you can't figure out how to fit it all in
Make your own list and then figure out how to get around these issues. If the diet is too strict, make smaller changes you can live with every day. If you're busy, try shorter workouts. Change what you're doing until it works.
Get Real
Most people fail at their fitness goals because they're waiting for something spectacular to happen. Losing weight isn't always a spectacular process...in fact, it isn't even a linear process sometimes. What you may find is that you lose a little, gain a little and repeat the process again and again.
There are no shortcuts to weight loss so, even if you're frustrated that your body hasn't changed, don't give up. If you're burning more calories than you eat, your body is changing, even if it's slower than you'd like. Make sure your goals are realistic and, most importantly, that you give your body the time it needs to respond to what you're doing. It can be weeks, often months before changes start to show.
Get Pumped
We all get a spurt of motivation when deciding to lose weight and that energy carries us through the first few weeks of a workout and diet plan. However, it's normal to lose some of that energy after a month or two and wonder if you should just give up. Before you do, try these tips for
- Revisit your goals - Do they still mean something to you?
- Think about how far you've come - Don't just look at how much weight you've lost, but other ways your life has improved. Are you stronger or faster? Do you feel better about yourself? Could you use those feelings to keep going now?
- Change things up - Variety can infuse more energy into your workouts. Try changing your workout schedule or trying something new to stay interested in exercise.
Reward YourselfIt's surprisingly easy to get excited about exercise and it's called massage. There's nothing that feels better than finishing up a week's worth of workouts followed by a relaxing massage. Schedule one once a month, if you can or, if massages aren't your thing, try some other ideas:
- Buying new workout gear
- A weekend getaway
- A night chilling out with your favorite TV show
- A new book or song you've been wanting
- An MP3 player for your workouts
- A new computer game you can only play after exercise
Exhaust Every AvenueBefore you quit, try everything you can to stay on track. Instead of drifting away from exercise without acknowledging it, give yourself a minimum amount of exercise to get in each week. When you dip below that (or stop altogether), promise yourself you'll try other things before you quit altogether:
- Hire a personal trainer or work with one online
- Find a workout buddy
- Join a fitness group or gym
- Try a new way of exercising - a video, a class, a sport, etc.
Stop Waiting for a Miracle
Some people think if they exercise long enough, they'll wake up one day and suddenly love exercising and eating healthy. While it does get easier, you'll always have to find ways to motivate yourself for your workouts. If you're waiting for a shining moment of excitement, you might be waiting for a long time. Instead, make it happen with these resources:
Lose the Excuses
Every day is different. What motivated you yesterday may not work today, so sift through what inspires you to find that one thing that will get you out the door. It may be pants you want to fit into or competing with your friend (he's working out--you don't want to fall behind, do you?). Before you skip your workout, try these ideas to get moving:
- I'll feel good about myself if I finish my workout
- I'll just warm up and, if I want to stop, I can
- I'm going to dinner tonight, so I know I need this workout to balance my calories
- This workout will give me more energy for the rest of my day
- If I finish this workout, I can spend some time reading, watching TV or playing around on the computer
Open Your Mind
Being bored is the perfect time to try something new. You'll be more willing to try things you may have dismissed because they didn't fit within your definition of exercise. It could be bellydancing, a latin dance class or that spinning class at the gym. Or try something more mind/body like Pilates or yoga
If what you're doing isn't working, it's time to find something that will. Sometimes even just a new piece of equipment or a workout is enough to get you moving again:
Track Your ProgressOne simple way to stay motivated is to look back on how far you've come. Keeping a simple calendar of the workouts you've done gives you something tangible you can happily flip through, adding up all the days you exercised. Plus, knowing you have to write your accomplishments down may give you that extra push you need to get moving.
Regularly weighing yourself, taking measurements, getting your body fat tested or even doing your own fitness and endurance tests can help you stay on track. This Progress Chart is a great way to track how you're doing.
Have ConsequencesIf your child doesn't do his homework, there are consequences. The same should be true of sticking with exercise. If you don't do your workouts, there should be a consequence. Have someone hold you accountable or take away something you enjoy until you get back on track. Another idea is to think of the long-term consequences of not exercising:
- Gaining weight
- Feeling bad about yourself
- Possible health problems like diabetes or heart disease
- Lower quality of life
- Not being a good role model for your family
- Not being able to do all the things you enjoy

The voices of Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan have become synonymous with the UFC brand over the last 10 years. However, when the organization announced a seven-year network broadcast partnership with FOX television entities in August 2011 that included roughly 30 fight cards a year, it was obvious Goldberg and Rogan couldn't keep up with such a hectic schedule.
Enter Jon Anik.
The 33-year-old former ESPN employee was hired by the UFC in November 2011 to lead a second octagon-side broadcast team. Anik did play-by-play for Bellator Fighting Championship in 2009, and for over three years hosted ESPN's weekly mixed martial arts show "MMA Live". After getting a taste of the play-by-play game with Bellator, and with his ESPN contract close to expiring, Anik opted to sign with the UFC when the opportunity to call live fights presented itself.
While he had some hesitations about leaving "The Worldwide Leader in Sports", the Massachusetts native knew his play-by-play commentary desires would be fulfilled working for the UFC.
"Bellator season one just made it crystal clear for me that's what I wanted to do, and I think if you want to call MMA fights for a living, certainly your aspiration will be to try to work for the UFC just the way these fighters want to fight for the UFC."
"The UFC was the destination for me," Anik told FightCove.com. "I was so appreciative that they were interested, and I knew that live events and doing play-by-play was going to be a part of it."
Play-by-play will be the primary roll in Anik's new job description. He will sit directly next to the action and call 12-14 fight cards on FX and FUEL TV in 2012, the first of which is this Friday night (January 20th) on FX from Nashville, Tennessee.
In addition to calling fights on FX and FUEL TV, Anik has a boatload of duties with the UFC. He will be the lead man for selected weigh ins, "Fight Club" Q&A sessions, pre and post fight shows and will host "The Ultimate Insider" on FUEL TV, a magazine-news oriented show that starts on February 7th and is scheduled to run 40 weeks in 2012. Anik will also play an unannounced roll on the revamped "Ultimate Fighter" reality show on FX.
As part of preparation for his new job, Anik underwent the colossal project of thoroughly researching every fighter on the rapidly growing UFC roster, which currently includes upwards of 250 athletes.
"The research obviously comes in handy and it's the type of thing where it's daunting, there's never enough time in the day," Anik explained. "It's definitely a lot of work to try and learn these guys inside and out."
"A lot of work" is certainly an accurate statement. Anik is now the man who must educate the world about every competitor who steps into the octagon within a limited time frame. He must pass along valuable information viewers need to know about every fighter, from the moment their walkout music hits the speakers, to the time they exit the octagon. With a sport as unpredictable as mixed martial arts, Anik knows every second he is able to educate the audience counts.
"I think my job as a play-by-play guy is to do some of that story telling," Anik said. "Given the nature of our sport, and how quickly things happen and move once the fight starts, there's not a ton of time to get that information across."
"You really need to humanize these guys to create fans of individuals. I need to pick my spots and find those windows to tell those stories. Part of my job is not just calling the fights, but introducing these fighters to a mass audience and trying to grow the sport."
In the months leading up to his debut, Anik had the opportunity to put his research into practice, taking part in four "dry runs" (untelevised commentary) alongside a number of different partners including UFC fighters Kenny Florian, Stephan Bonnar, Frank Mir and Rich Franklin.
According to Anik, those dry runs were significant in helping him prepare for his debut on Friday night.
"To call 48 fights was a huge way of getting the rust off of me. I was pretty appreciative to have that opportunity, but I'm ready to go," he said. "Can only do so many of these things that don't hit the air before you're jonesing to actually crack the mic."
As anxious as Anik may be to get his UFC tenor officially underway, he recognizes the pressure of jumping into a roll fans are used to seeing only two men play.
"For the last ten years the only voices people have heard during UFC fights are those of Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan, so I think there's a big focus for me and my partner to make sure that we have our own style and sort of our own flare,"
"I think it's important to have a team that can develop chemistry the way Goldberg and Rogan have,"
On top of creating his own style and flare, Anik is working to improve to the weak points in his game; such as letting his voice flow with the action, picking the correct spots to speak, using the knowledge of the analyst beside him to his benefit and keeping his emotions in check.
"When I was calling Wanderlei Silva against Cung Le (at UFC 139), I thought maybe I went a little bit too crazy, maybe too much energy,"
No one fully gets the hang of a new job in the first few days, and Anik is aware of the difficulties involved with a job that involves channeling a split-second moment into a articulate description for the world to hear.
He may be fresh on the scene as a UFC play-by-play man, but Anik is prudent of the fact there is only room to grow and get better at his new job.
"I certainly don't know all, and I am learning the sport, and everyday learning more than I have the day before," Anik said. "I've never had a perfect broadcast, I don't ever expect too. I need to sort of grow on the job, I need to realize the fact that I haven't called 500 MMA fights,"
With his diligent work ethic and passion for the sport, 500 fights are not far off for the Gettysburg College graduate. In fact, Anik intends to sit next to the octagon and call UFC fights for the rest of his broadcasting career.
"I took this job hoping that it would sort of be a life time thing," he said.
"One day I will have called 500 (fights), and hopefully number 501 is better than number 500,"
When "UFC on FX: Guillard vs. Miller" hit the FX airwaves on Friday night, the UFC audience will be introduced to a new voice, one who has put in countless hours of work to make your viewing experience as pleasurable and informative as possible. When Anik walks into the arena and the cameras start rolling, he will be ready to shine.
"I can't possibly be more prepared."

APS-C sized body? 7d or T4i size?
I agreed, huge difference in body size. 7D is around about the size of both 5D II and III. T4i size not so exciting.
APS-C sized body? 7d or T4i size?
Any Rebel or xxD owner would be faced with a choice between the new 6D FF or the old tech 7D with little or no upgrade in IQ from what they were previously using.Depending on what the Rebel or xxD owner used before, both 60D and 7D still offer an upgrade in IQ. Owning a 450D/XSi, I am currently considering the 60D/70D/7D as a replacement and I can tell you, the 18 MP Sensor of the 60D/7D is a big improvement over the 12 MP Sensor of the 450D.
Unless of course, Canon brings out a 7D2 sometime in early-2013 with even better specs for around $2500 price territory. But then the big question arises, will a new 7D still have a crop sensor? Will buyers pay more for APS-C than for FF?Buyers bought APS-H even though a cheaper FF existed. And there are action, sport and wildlife photographers which would prefer a high speed Crop-DSLR over the 5D III.
Looks fake... If this is true... Why the heck does Canon spend so much time figuring out ways to cripple their products instead of going and reworking their sensors...That's like going to McDonald's to complain that their basic hamburger is a "crippled" version of their Big Mac. You won't get much sympathy (actually, none). If you want a Big Mac, you have to pay the extra $ that it costs.
Thats a silly example... the 6D is not replacing the 1dx, it is replacing the 4 year old 5dii.
Ask the guys who bought 60D, and found out they no longer had AFMA. and this was a prosumer body not a rebel. The 50D had it but they crippled it in the 60D. Numerous other examples.
11 AF Points, f/2.8 Cross-type in the center
Weak. Very weak.
1. Currently use xxxD or xxxxD series wants to upgrade to full frame: Go fo Nikon D600Only if you haven't invested into lenses. Investing into Nikon lenses would be more expensive as well and lenses are imo more important than the body.
IF the spec is true...I think buy 5D III is a better choice. Peopple buying 5D III on ebay around $3000 and they seem to be HAPPY.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but why does one need 60+ autofocus points? I keep my camera set to the center focus. Focus, frame. That's how I learned to operate a camera. Am I doing it wrong?

On a night when the ETSU volleyball team was challenged in more ways than one, the Bucs still managed to take down a scrappy Mercer club.
Megan Devine (Kingsport, Tenn.) posted her third straight double-double, while Khadijah Wiley (Columbus, Ga.) and Meredith Hardy (Kingsport, Tenn.) provided solid efforts as the Bucs held on to defeat the Bears in four sets (27-25, 25-23, 23-25, 25-17) on Tuesday night inside Brooks Gym.
Devine, who was honored prior to the match for breaking the all-time Atlantic Sun kills record last weekend in Jacksonville, led all players with 21 kills and added 12 digs for the Blue and Gold. Hardy finished with 13 kills (.321 attack percentage) and four blocks, while Wiley hit a match-high .438 (8-1-16) and totaled seven blocks at the net.
Despite out-blocking the Bears, 12-11, the Bucs struggled at times with Mercer's defensive presence at the net. Fortunately, when it came down to it in the fourth set, the Blue and Gold made adjustments and solidified the win by capturing an eight-point victory, thanks to ETSU out-blocking the Bears, 4-1, in the final frame.
With the win, ETSU has now strung together 10 consecutive victories inside Brooks Gym and improved to 15-7, 9-1 in A-Sun play. Mercer, who has now dropped 19 straight matches, dipped to 1-20, 0-11.
The Bucs took the first two sets of the match, but Mercer made the Blue and Gold work for both frames.
In the first set, ETSU was solid with its attack as the Bucs hit .405 (17-2-37), but the Blue and Gold had to overcome a late four-point deficit to pull out a 27-25 win. The Bears got off to a strong start as Mercer opened up on a 10-4 run, but ETSU slowly bounced back into the contest by winning 11 of the next 17 points to make it a one-point game, 16-15. However, the Bucs still couldn't get over the hump as Mercer quickly extended its lead to four when a block by Jordan Gollon and Zoe Becton put the Bears ahead, 21-17. From there, ETSU responded in a flurry as the Bucs scored five unanswered points to take their first lead (22-21) since winning the first point of the set. Although, Mercer didn't back down as the Bucs saw its 24-22 lead evaporate, but after the Bears pulled even at 24 and 25, Devine stepped up and lifted ETSU to the win. Devine's eighth kill of the frame snapped the tie and she aced Ellie James to end the set. Devine hit .412 in the first, while Ivey Rice (Johnson City, Tenn.) was 4-for-7 with one attack error.
The second set was nip-and-tuck all the way through, but back-to-back kills from Devine and Wiley snapped a 23-all score, giving ETSU a 2-0 advantage in the match. Neither team led by more than three points in the stanza and both clubs combined for 13 ties and six lead changes in the second. The squads traded scores early on in the frame, but the Bears made the first move as they led 14-12 following a kill by Caroline Carlton. The Bucs made sure Mercer's lead didn't last long as ETSU registered a 6-1 spurt to go up, 18-15, forcing the Bears to use its first timeout. Despite the Bears pulling even at 18, the Blue and Gold never trailed after their run, and with the score knotted for the 13th time of the set (23-all), Devine and Wiley stepped up, giving ETSU the set win. The Bucs were out-blocked, 6-2, in the second set, while also committing five more attack errors than Mercer, 9 to 4. However, ETSU was plus-7 in kills (16-9) and overcame five service errors to secure the two-point victory.
Unfortunately, the Bucs couldn't pick up their fourth straight home sweep as Mercer handed ETSU its first set loss (inside Brooks) of the campaign in the third, 25-23. The Bucs controlled play early on as ETSU led 8-5, but with the Bucs still ahead by one (10-9), the Bears mounted an 8-2 run to go up, 17-12. The Blue and Gold fought back to pull even at 22, but Mercer didn't budge and won by two. ETSU hit .111 (10-7-27), compared to the Bears posting a .258 clip (14-6-31), while Mercer still managed to stay alive after recording five service errors in the frame.
With momentum starting to shift and Mercer holding a three-point lead midway through the fourth, ETSU stepped up and closed the set on a 15-4 surge to take the stanza, 25-17. The Bears committed four of their 10 attack errors in the stretch run, while freshman Renzey Rice (Johnson City, Tenn.) and sophomore Jessica Schafer (Dekalb, Ill.) came off the bench late to give ETSU a spark. Rice served the Bucs to five straight points, while Schafer ended the set with a block and a kill, sending the Buccaneer faithful home happy. ETSU held Mercer to a -.049 attack percentage in the fourth, while the Bucs were plus-6 in digs, 17 to 11.
For the match, ETSU hit .201 (54-25-144), and totaled 50 assists and 62 digs, while the Bears hit .158 (47-24-146) and registered 46 assists and 52 digs.
Junior Katie Muey (Alexandria, Ind.), who was also honored before the match for joining the 1,000-dig club, led all players with 17 digs on Tuesday. Ivey Rice also added 14 digs of her own, while Jamie Rutledge (Kingsport, Tenn.) ended with 38 assists and freshman Kristen Favre (Plano, Texas) dished out 10.
Mercer was led by Carlton's 12-kill effort and James finished with 11 kills and nine digs. Cara Tripp and Zoe Becton added five blocks each for the Bears.
The Bucs continue their three-match home stint Friday night when ETSU plays host to USC Upstate. First-serve is slated for 7 p.m.

---- — SALEM — It would be easy to drive down one-way Goodhue Street and not notice an elevator shaft rising from a vacant lot. And it would be even easier not to see it as the dawn of a new era.
But just maybe, in this late spring of 2013, we are seeing the start of significant construction in Blubber Hollow, the former leather and manufacturing district along the North River canal that local officials hope will be the next redevelopment frontier.
A case in point is 28 Goodhue St., the 2-acre lot where, in the past few weeks, workers have laid a foundation and built an elevator shaft, the first stages in the construction of a housing development that has been waiting in the wings for years.
Developer Anthony Roberto bought this property in 2003 and got Planning Board approval seven years ago. The project was on hold while the city rezoned the North River Canal Corridor and then sat idle while Roberto waited out a national housing crisis.
Suddenly, things are moving. Structural steel will arrive soon for a project expected to take 18 months to complete.
"Financially, it made sense," Roberto said of his decision to begin now.
"I think it's exciting to see this coming off the drawing board ..." said Mayor Kim Driscoll. "I think it says something about the Salem market — the market is finally strong enough to support new, mixed-use development."
Roberto is building 45 residences, which could be marketed as apartments or condominiums. "It depends on how the market is," he said. "We're still up in the air right now."
There will be commercial or retail space on the first floor. The developer also will build a section of a new pedestrian pathway along the canal.
City officials hope 28 Goodhue St. is the first of several large and long-delayed developments to come on line.
Driscoll expects to see activity soon across the street, where developer David Sweetser plans to build the Gateway Center, a four-story office building at the corner of Boston and Bridge streets that will house the city's senior center on the ground floor. Construction is expected to start by early next year.
An environmental cleanup continues at Riverview Place, a 130-apartment complex where the Salem Suede and Bonfanti leather factories once stood on Flint and Mason streets. This project, which faced court challenges, also has taken a long time getting off the drawing board.
In addition to the site work, the developers still need a state waterways license to build near a river. Their attorney, Scott Grover, said they hope to start construction late this year or early in 2014.
Legacy Park, a 141-apartment project at the former Salem Oil & Grease property on Grove Street, got Planning Board approval last fall but faces local and state environmental reviews.
There is not much happening at Flynntan, an old factory site bordered by Boston and Goodhue streets that a Beverly businessman bought in 2006 at a public auction. Original plans called for light manufacturing.
Driscoll is hopeful that the four big projects along the canal — Salem Suede, 28 Goodhue, Gateway Center and Salem Oil & Grease — will pay big dividends once they are up and running. Combined, they currently pay just over $100,000 in property taxes. When done, they are projected to generate $1 million.
These large projects, however, have sparked concerns about increased demands on public services and the impact on traffic in a part of the city with a confusing and narrow network of roads. The city has hired traffic consultants and held public meetings on the issue.
One city official said the long reviews these projects have faced may have an unintended benefit. By coming on line one at a time, the impact may be more gradual, giving the city and neighbors time to work out problems.
"If you do it incrementally, you can absorb the impact incrementally," said City Planner Lynn Duncan.

Agri-Biz & Commodities
Rubber stocks continue to rule low
Vipin V. Nair
ON THE RISE: Workers processing latex at a unit near Kochi. India tops in rubber productivity. During 2004-05, rubber yield was 1,705 kg a hectare. Growers have benefited from the increasing yield as prices too have tended to rise on demand growth and exports. On Wednesday, sheet rubber was quoted at Rs 60 a kg. K.K.Mustafah
Kochi , Sept. 21
STOCK position of natural rubber in the domestic market continues to rule at lower levels as rains in the past months have affected tapping.
According to estimates by the Rubber Board, rubber stock by the end of August would be around 72,000-74,000 tonnes, which would suffice for a month's consumption by the industry.
With the peak tapping season set to commence from next month, the industry is hopeful that supply of natural rubber to the market would improve and stocks build up to more comfortable levels.
Incessant monsoon rains in the past three months had severely hit tapping in Kerala.
The benchmark ribbed smoked sheet (RSS)-4 grade quoted Rs 60 a kg here on Wednesday. For the past one week, the RSS-4 grade has been ruling steady at Rs 60-a-kg levels.
Natural rubber prices had recorded some wild fluctuations in the current fiscal with prices touching a record Rs 70 for a kg in July, only to fall below Rs 60 a few weeks later.
Apart from high international prices, the limited supply of rubber was another factor that pushed up prices.
According to the Board, production during April-August was 2.69 lakh tonnes, marginally up from 2.60 lakh tonnes in the corresponding period last year.
Consumption growth outpaced that of production during the period. Export and import of natural rubber were also higher during the first five months of the fiscal as compared with the same period last year. (See table)
The stock position would have been worse during the period, but for the imports of 33,472 tonnes of imports. The opening stock as on April 1, 2005, was estimated at 1,07,000 tonnes. Rubber Board sources said imports till middle of this month had been 35,077 tonnes, while exports surged to 13,074 tonnes. Exports of rubber from India has picked up, as international prices are now higher by Rs 12-15 for a kg.
Industry sources said though the prospects of exports had brightened because of the widening price difference between the domestic and international prices, shortage of good-quality sheet rubber in the market has come as a roadblock.
"Exports would have been much higher but good-quality sheet rubber is not available now. Growers are unable to properly dry the sheets, and the moisture in the atmosphere is leading to fungus on the sheets," sources said.

there are alot of good young SS pushing their way into MLB right now and there will be a surplus soon. these are all 30 MLB teams and thier SS situations. the 1st name is the guy who will most likely be the teams everyday SS and not be moved at all. the 2nd, and 3rd names are all players the Mets could acquire. i'm not looking at guys who are 2 or 3 year away, i'm looking at guys the Mets can get right now or at the all-star break and start everyday at SS. so lets begin.
Baltimore Orioles- 1) Manny Machado, 2) J.J Hardy,
Boston Red Sox- 1) Xander Bogaerts,
New York Yankees- 1) Derek Jeter
Tampa Bay Rays- 1) Hak-Ju Lee, 2) Yunel Escobar, 3) Tim Beckham
Toronto Blue Jays- 1) Jose Reyes, 2) Maicer Izturis
Chicago White Sox- 1) Marcus Semien, 2) Carlos Sanchez, 3) Aramis Ramirez
Cleveland Indians- 1) Francisco Lindor, 2) Asdrubal Cabrera, 3) Ronny Rodriguez
Detroit Tigers- 1) Jose Iglesias
Kansas City Royals- 1) Alcides Escobar
Minnesota Twins- 1) Daniel Santana, 2) Pedro Florimon
Houston Astros- 1) Jonathan Villar
L.A Angles- 1) Erick Aybar
Oakland A's- 1) Addison Russell, 2) Jed Lowrie
Seattle Mariners- 1) Brad Miller, 2) Nick Franklin, 3) Willie Bloomquist
Texas Rangers- 1) Jurickson Profar, 2) Elvis Andrus
Atlanta Braves- 1) Andrelton Simmons
Miami Marlins- 1) Adeiny Hechavarria
The Mets- 1) Ruben Tejada, 2) Wilfredo Tovar
Philidephia Phillies- 1) Jimmy Rollins
Washington Nationals - 1) Ian Desmond, 2) Danny Espinosa, 3) Zach Walters
Chicago Cubs- 1) Javier Baez, 2) Starlin Castro, 3) Arismendy Alcantara
Cincinnati Reds- 1) Zack Cozart
Milwaukee Brewers- 1) Jean Segura
Pittsburgh Pirates- 1) Alen Hanson, 2) Jordy Mercer
St. Louis Cardinals- 1) Jhonny Peralta, 2) Daniel Descalso, 3) Pete Kozma
Arizona Diamondbacks- 1) Didi Gregorius, 2) Chris Owings, 3) Nick Ahmed
Colorado Rockies- 1) Troy Tulowitzki, 2) Josh Rutledge
Los Angeles Dodgers- 1) Hanley Ramirez, 2) Dee Gordon
San Diego Padres- 1) Everth Cabrera 2) Logan Forsythe
SF Giants- 1) Brandon Crawford, 2) Joe Panik 3) Joaquin Arias
in conclusion most teams have an established good SS or a good young high ranked SS. and some even have both with high ranked SS pushing out good players. the only teams with ageing SS and no youth on the way are the Phillies and the Yankees. look at all those great SS being pushed out by the high ranked kids. the SS market is a shmorgishborg of talent why settle for Drew when there are all these options to explore. personally i would go with a great tools kid making the min and MLB ready right now like Chris Owing. but Javier Baez is going to force the Cubs to make a move with Castro and i would not mind him either.

Hey everyone! Champ Kind, Channel 4 News Team Sports, here.
I'm all about having fun. You know, get a couple of cocktails in me, start a fire in someone's kitchen, maybe go to Sea World, take my pants off. In this week's baseball matchup, we have the Atlanta Braves coming to town to face our Padres in a 3-game series. They just swept the defending champion San Francisco Giants this past weekend and they really kicked their hineys. The key --
He said hiney!
Damnit, Brick. Get out of here. The pancake breakfast isn't until next week.
As I was saying, the keys to the Braves winning yesterday's game were a couple late-inning WHAMMYS! and then a big hit from Nate McLouth to clinch it in the 10th inning. It was their first sweep of the season. After further inspection, Buster Posey was still out and Jason Heyward is still better. Now that that's all cleared up, let's get onto the Series Preview...
Thanks for the introduction, Champ. The Braves are taking on the San Diego Padres for the final three games of their west coast road trip and are looking to return to Atlanta with a .500+ road trip. The Padres, who are now 8-14 and in last place in the NL West, were just swept by the Phillies. In that 4-game series, they scored just three runs. Let's take a look at their team.
Projected Lineup:
Cameron Maybin - CF
Jason Bartlett - SS
Orlando Hudson - 2B
Nick Hundley - C
Ryan Ludwick - LF
Jorge Cantu - 3B
Brad Hawpe - 1B
Will Venable - RF
Wow. I'm not even sure where to begin. Cameron Maybin (.883), Nick Hundley (.835), and Chase Headley (.718) are the only Padres to have an OPS above .700. Chris Denorfia has had success in April, but he's currently injured with a strained groin. Orlando Hudson (.229/.349/.271), Ryan Ludwick (.194/.301/.319), Jason Bartlett (.242/.311/.273), Will Venebale (.172/.290/.190), Jorge Cantu (.145/.200/.218), and Brad Hawpe (.104/.154/.125) have all been somewhere between mediocre to awful this season.
The Padres have struck out the 2nd most in baseball (24.4%; wow.), but they will walk as well (10.3%). They will also run a bit, and guys like Maybin (6), Venable (6), and Hudson (7) will steal a base or two if they're able to get on base.
As a whole, the Padres are last in runs scored and are probably the worst offensive club in all of baseball. The Braves pitchers should have a pretty easy time in this series. You just never know, though.
Pitching Matchups:
Monday, 10:05:
Derek Lowe
#32 / Pitcher / Atlanta Braves
Jun 01, 1973
Dustin Moseley
#26 / Pitcher / San Diego Padres
Dec 26, 1981
Dustin Mosley (0-3, 1.40 ERA, 3.75 FIP, 4.15 FIP, .261 BABIP) is a pitcher who relies heavily on groundouts to get through his games, and he's been pretty lucky on the mound to start the season. He's stranded 84.5% of the runners on base (which isn't sustainable) and he doesn't walk or strikeout many. As crazy as it sounds, the Padres have scored just one run when Mosley pitches. Perhaps Dustin and Kenshin Kawakami should have lunch sometime.
Tuesday, 10:05:
Jair Jurrjens
#49 / Pitcher / Atlanta Braves
Jan 29, 1986
Aaron Harang
#41 / Pitcher / San Diego Padres
May 09, 1978
Aaron Harang has been the Padres best pitcher this season and he's had some impressive results (4-0, 1.88 ERA, 1.92 FIP, 3.38 xFIP). The former-Red has struck out quite a few batters (7.88 K/9) and hasn't walked many (1.88 BB/9) and has seemed to found new life in the friendly confines of Petco Park. It'll be interesting to see if Harang is for real on Tuesday night or if he just found some luck in his first few starts.
Wednesday, 3:35:
Tommy Hanson
#48 / Pitcher / Atlanta Braves
Aug 28, 1986
Mat Latos
#38 / Pitcher / San Diego Padres
Dec 09, 1987
Mat Latos is unquestionably the Padres most talented pitcher, but he's struggled in 2011 (0-3, 5.94 ERA, 6.35 FIP, 3.99 xFIP). He has had his strikeout pitches working (10.80 K/9), but control has been a big issue (4.86 BB/9). Despite his ineffective season, I wouldn't bet against Latos figuring it out at any moment. The kid throws hard, and he's capable of shutting down even the most difficult lineup on any given night.
The Padres bullpen is very good. They're ranked in the top-5 in ERA (2.68), FIP (3.09), and xFIP (3.60). They strike out a few (7.91 K/9) and don't walk many (3.04 BB/9) and they're led by All-Star closer Heath Bell. Set-up man Mike Adams is among the best in the business and righties Luke Gregerson, Chad Qualls, and Ernesto Frieri have all been very tough in the middle innings. Cory Luebke is the only lefty in the 'pen and he's been decent this season despite running into a bit of bad luck.
As a whole, they're really good. Perhaps one of the top-3 in the entire National League. The Padres starters aren't slouches by any means, but the 'pen really keeps the opposition's bats in check most nights.
Final Thoughts:
The Padres can pitch, but their offensive production has been minimal. They've just been swept by the Phillies, while the Braves are playing their best baseball of the season. I see the Braves winning 2 out of 3, but a sweep isn't out of the question at all.

Buncha Dopes
Where to start?
Lance Armstrong is planning on crying to Oprah Winfrey about how he really did dope up in order to be a winner. Puts a whole new meaning on the term "coming clean", doesn't it? Frankly, I don't care. I never liked the guy. He always seemed a bit pretentious to me, even when humbled by disease. Admittedly, he did establish a charitable foundation, but since his outing in the doping scandal, it has suffered by extension.
And yesterday the voters for the Baseball Hall of Fame decided to not nominate any players. That's the first time since 1996, and only the second time since 1960, I believe. Apparently, the spectre of performance-enhancing drugs reared its ugly head when Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were nominated.
Frankly, I'm to the point of advocating the Chemical Olympics™*. Let them dope up and compete!!
What say y'all??
*Hat tip for the term goes to Hubby
Bring on the comments
All of the HR records for the last 25 years need to be tossed into a garbage can, soaked with gasoline and torched. As for Armstrong, if he actually DID dope up, he should be charged with felony fraud and thrown into prison. All of the money that he's earned over the past couple of decades has come from his "performance" and the celebrity that it brought, with him standing in front of cameras saying that he was clean. (Same goes for all of the assholes caught lying about doping.)
0 0
I'm a little surprised Piazza didn't make it. He's one of the best catchers ever and obviously didn't dope up (at least, if he did he sucked at it. I was a Mets fan watching him not be all that great as Bonds and Clemens were getting bigger and better at the same age).
Doping is cheating.
MLB makes me the angriest.
Bonds was on his way to a Hall of Fame career, guy was a great player in all facets of the game.
Then he decided to become Mr. Home Run and steroided out, increasing his shoe and freaking hat size and MLB had absolutely no problem with that until after he retired.
Bud Selig was all happy about destroying the integrity of the game for money.
He directly encouraged pro athletes to dope for the home runs while he instituted a minor league bullcrap "testing" bullcrap.
But he keeps Pete Rose out for gambling.
Now, if Rose had bet against his team or bet on the under, I'd be all in favor of kicking him out, but he didn't.
Hell, I'd be okay if he bet on his own team and bet on the over.
The only way that's different from Rex Ryan of the Jets talking crap each and every week is that Rose is putting his money where his mouth is and Ryan is putting his mouth where his ass is.
Not electing those cheaters was beautiful. Simply beautiful. I just hope the voters have the balls to keep not voting for cheaters.
Sorry, I get worked up.

How about adding a drug index to the mix of degree of difficulty? Throw out the high and low scores and make deductions from the others based on what the jocks are taking, injecting, ingesting, infusing, inhaling, invoking, and let the lot of them buy sponsorships so the tickets don't cost so damned much. The fans have favorites anyway.
0 0
So Oprah Winfrey can cleanse you of your sins? Does she charge for that?
0 0
I never followed the Lance Armstrong thing but it was my understanding that he never failed a single test. Is that correct? If he did dope up it would be interesting to find out how he did that.
0 0
I can't understand why anyone pretends that there isn't some form of doping in every level of sports, from nine year olds drinking Red Bull on up to the wacky stuff the pros juice up with. Is anyone really concerned about losing their fan base over the truth?
0 0
Records aren't necessarily tainted. After all, they were hitting against pitchers even more doped up than them.
0 0
I don't see it happening, Aggie. There are always fools who're willing to mortgage their houses for season tickets and such. There's a lot of noise about boycotting the NHL when they return, but we all know it's not gonna happen. It's a status thing, I think.
Look at how many cities will bankrupt themselves to get the Olympics. It's one of the most corrupt organizations out there, with perennial doping scandals and yet people still watch the events and buy the merchandise.
0 0
Right. Remember what happened to Kerry Lynch at Lake Placid. He was leading the Nordic combined when the "jury" of Norwegians and Swedes restarted the competition and wiped out his jump records. They weren't going to let an American beat them at their sport in OUR Country. Even though that didn't register next to the Soviets coercion with the figure skating Judges, it still makes a mockery of genuine competition.
0 0
I've long wanted an "anything goes" (drug-wise) sports league or Olympics-analogue. It doesn't even have to replace the existing ones. Let's see what the augmented human body can do. It'll also be cautionary in that, well, sometimes the athletes will get sick or even die because of the drugs they decided to ingest themselves.
Enhancement cybernetics are coming anyway, and it won't be fair for normal humans to compete with cyborgs.
0 0
I'm all for sports that involve drugs, weapons, cybernetic enhancement, anything goes as long as everyone involved is on the same playing field. Hell, if football included say… steroided mutants hopped up on goofballs while wearing elbow razors…I'd probably watch a game. Blood bowl sounds more and more like a fine idea.
0 0
I'm all in favor of a Doped Division of every professional sports activity.
There'd be tons of money in it and the medical, prosthetic, and chemical/drug research needed to enhance human performance would result in priceless developments for society in general and the elderly and disabled particularly.
Let the jocks screw up their brains and bodies, and shorten their lives. They already do it anyway.
0 0
I agree..I am all for a full doping/steroid/growth enhancement/testosterone added division in ANY sport. (To include curling.. =P )
Most sports involve hypocritical 'leadership' anyway. Just like hammering college athletes for taking money, but turning a blind eye when they are 'loaned' cars, phones, etc. (I personally saw a college football player receive over $500 cash from a former student in an elevator at a game.)

With college tuition on the rise I am trying to figure out how I will be able to afford college. I have been saving up ever since I was little, but I still cannot afford a single year. There are options, though, to get the necessary money: take out student loans, apply for scholarships or enlist in the armed services.
When you take out loans, you must pay them back within a certain number of years. The worst part is the interest rate, which could tarnish your credit record if you miss payments. I am planning on attending medical school, so on top of undergrad school that would put me in debt way over my head.
Scholarships are my next option, but it's doubtful that I could receive a full scholarship. I am not at the top of my class and do not have any special talents. I am just a regular young man who helps his community as a volunteer firefighter.
The last way for me to attend college would be one of the hardest decisions in my life: enlist in the armed forces. There are so many branches I could join that it takes my breath away. I could join the Army or even the Delaware National Guard. I also could think about the Marines, the Coast Guard, the Navy or the Air Force. I have no doubt that I would die for my country if it meant keeping freedom and liberty alive, but in this time of war, I have to ask, Would I die to receive an education?
There are a number of factors affecting my decision to enlist in the armed forces, the biggest being how long I would have to be away from my family. I have never been away from them for more than two weeks, so how could I deal with not seeing them for a year? I worry the most about my mother since I know she would think about her first-born every minute of the day.
Even if I enlisted and went to college, there would always be the chance I could be activated and sent to war, which could delay graduation and med school. Or - and this would be anyone's worst fear - I might not even return alive.
I watch the news every day and see American soldiers dying in the Middle East. The scariest and most eye-opening aspect is that most of them are college-aged. Most joined the armed forces for financial reasons, to help pay for college. The price of receiving an education can also cost them their lives. Could I be in this same category by next year? I guess time will tell what my fate is.
Now, don't misunderstand me, there are benefits to joining the armed forces. The biggest for a soon-to-
be college student would be the financial help, but traveling around the world would also be a great incentive, and you also may make lifelong friends in the service.
The benefits and the risks are just some of the factors to weigh in making my decision. Every time I think about enlisting, I end up wondering, Would I die to receive an education? I have not yet figured out the answer.

The U.S. Senate is opening an investigation in to the movie "Zero Dark Thirty."
The movie tells the story of how Navy Seals took out Osama Bin Laden.
Republicans want to know how film producers got access to classified information about the raid. Democrats are upset about scenes that imply U.S. agents tortured people to get information that led to the raid.
No word yet if the investigation will lead to formal hearings.
