I really like Bradley Beal and think he can be an Eric Gordon type at the NBA level if he continues to improve his overall game especially his ballhandling and playmaking abilities. I have him going to Washington w/ the 3rd overall pick due to the trade they just made getting Ariza & Okafor effectively ruling out Robinson, MKG & Ba rnes. I think they have a big hole at the SG position and need a strong perimeter shooter for Wall to pass to as they already have a perimeter defender in Ariza and strong post play in Okafor & Nene. I would propose Blazers trade Wesley Matthews, #11, 41 to Wizards for #3 (Beal) or Crawford & #6 for #3. Either of these trades provide the Wizards with the perimeter shooting needed as it is clear they are trying to build a winner now so they dont lose John Wall to free agency. Ideally we would only have to give up Crawford & the #11 pick and maybe a second rounder but Washington will probably ask for more than that. Beal provides us with our SG of the future which is an increasingly important position in today's NBA.
If Wizards decide not to take Beal then I believe the Cavs will at #4 so I would propose we offer 6, 11 for 4, 24.
Another option popular on BE is Blazers trade: Wesley Matthews or Crawford, #6, 40 to Rockets for Kyle Lowry & #14. I like Lowry and believe he fits the Blazers need of a tough, defensive minded leader at the point who can also knock down shots and rebounds very well for his size. His contract is reasonable and it is feasible for us to acquire him unlike the elite PGs out there. The Rockets are rumored to want Drummond and it is likely he will fall to #6 & they have made it clear they wish to resign Dragic so Lowry becomes expendable. I would then pick Leonard or Zeller 11th, Terrence Ross or Austin Rivers (altho I'd hate to play w/ him) 14th, Will Barton, Kyle Oquinn, Kevin Murphy, Drew Gordon or Scott Machado 41st. Then we could have Lowry, Ross, Batum (resigned for 5 years $40 mil), Aldridge, Leonard. I'd bring over Freeland & maybe Claver, resign Hickson & sign OJ Mayo and/or Chris Kaman or Spenuge cr Hawes to fill out our rotation.
I'd also consider a trade w/ G.S. as they are rumored to have interest in Drummond or perhaps Barnes will fall to #6. Blazers trade Shawne Williams, #6, 40 to Warriors for Dorrell Wright, #7, 30. They take Drummond 6th, we take Damien Lilliard 7th. Granted this is not a huge move but I think its an easy way to pick up additional assets. I'm hesitant to draft Drummond anyways so Warriors take that risk and we get Lilliard and pick up a cheap, role player in Wright who can start or come off the bench for us. We also move up into the end of the 1st round and can choose a more solid prospect than available at 41. We could draft Ezeli, Will Barton, Tony Wroten, Quincy Miller idk who is gonna be available but just take best available player there or package it w/ our other 2nd round pick to move up and select a better prospect such as Fab Melo or Arnett Moultrie or Andrew Nicholson or Marquis Teague.
A final trade I'd consider is Blazers trade #11 to Boston for 21, 22 & take some combination of Royce White, Andrew Nicholson, Tony Wroten, Marcus Teague, Quincy Miller, Fab Melo. Idk if Boston would do this but its been rumored they wish to move up. I'd be fine with this trade as theres not a huge dropoff in talent from 11 to 21, 22.
So what do you think is the best option or should we just stay put and roll the dice w/ Drummond and Jeremy Lamb or somebody else at 11?

SA pianist Mervyn Africa plays at Vortex Jazz Club
UK-based South African musician Mervyn Africa leads his seven-piece band as they play from his new album Remember The Carnival
Leading South African jazz pianist and composer Mervyn Africa will perform at Vortex Jazz Club in London on Thursday 11 April at 8pm.
Mervyn has been one of the great names of African jazz for the last 30 years. His brilliant technique and ability to create sumptuous piano improvisation and composition drawing from his rich cultural and musical background has made him one of Africa's greatest pianists.
In this performance he leads his seven-piece band as they play from his new album Remember The Carnival— a big band recording that sparkles with creative inventiveness.
Leaving his homeland in 1981, Mervin settled in the UK searching out work in the bands of fellow exiles such as trumpeter Hugh Masekela, percussionist Julian Bahula and saxophonist Dudu Pukwana.
With drummer Brian Abrahams and Russel Herman he was a co-founder of the Afro/jazz group District Six, touring and recording two albums before finally leaving the group in 1987.
Subsequently he toured as a pianist with the singer Carmel, contributing compositions and arrangements to her album 'Set Me Free'.
Mervin Africa has established a strong reputation both as a solo performer and band leader. His quartet as heard on the album Mellow Mayhem blends the natural combination of African township music and jazz.
In 1990 he composed and performed a concerto commission by the Greater London Arts Council. Africa's musical talents have extended into composing music for TV documentaries, drama and film. His many collaborations with other artists such as Courtney Pine and David Jean Baptiste has led to a great demand for both his group and solo performances.
Mervyn creates sumptuous piano improvisation and composition drawing from his rich cultural and musical background. He draws on influences ranging from classics or carnival songs through township jazz to a Malay musical musical heritage.
His performance style, in which songs or storytelling might enter a concert just as naturally as a host of musical directions, leaves the audience in no doubt about his dynamic, direct approach.
Thursday 11 April, 8pm
11 Gillett Square, London, N16 8AZ
Tickets: £12.50/£10.00 (cons) | Tickets: 0207254 4097 | www.vortexjazz.co.uk

Now we come to my first real criticism of Todd Haley. And don't get me wrong, I like Todd Haley. In fact, many here would categorize me as a resident Todd Haley koolaid drinker these last few weeks.
However, this cannot be overlooked. This is the first time that I can clearly say, without question of a doubt, that a self proclaimed Bill Parcells disciple is doing something that Parcells would never ever do, not even at the lowest point in his career, and that's single out and coddle a player to the detriment of the team like Todd Haley is doing with Jamaal Charles.
With this last game, it's actually reached the point of theater of the absurd. I noticed many on this board didn't even mention the opening kickoff in their criticisms of this past game, which is essentially a free pass for Charles. When, in reality, that one play changed the entire course of the game. The Giants didn't recover the fumble in the endzone, but they practically started that drive in the redzone.
Just about anyone else in the Parcells coaching tree would have benched Charles. Haley not only kept him in for every kickoff return thereafter, but he didn't even get upset on the sidelines. Didn't get in his face, didn't show any emotion, nothing.
It's almost as if he's reached the point of feeling bad for him. This is a far cry from the scenes last year of Haley tearing into players on the Cardinals sideline. I almost don't know which part is more worrisome, the fact that Charles "wasn't even thinking about the ball" (his own words, see KC star article today), or the fact that he's such a fragile psyche player, that Haley can't reprimand him.
Needless to day, Charles needs to ride the pine. And if the worry here is that he's going to goto another team and end up lighting the Chiefs up (also insinuated in the star today), then bench the guy but don't release him until the end of the season.

There was probably a moment, around the time that Mississippi State cut the Arkansas lead to 14-10, when State fans thought, "You know, we might have a chance in this thing." That moment didn't last long, as Arkansas promptly scored 30 unanswered points and cruised past Mississippi State, 44-17.
The game was a reminder that there are three teams in the SEC a rather large gap, maybe one or two teams, and then a chasm until the bottom of the league. It's also a reminder that Mississippi State is in the latter group. The Razorbacks picked up 539 yards. Tyler Wilson was 32-of-43 for 365 yards and three touchdowns. Mississippi State, which gained just 210 yards, went almost 42 minutes of game time between scores at one point.
The win keeps the Hogs alive in the SEC West race, as well as preserving their long-shot hopes for a shot at the national title, as they prepare to face LSU next week. Mississippi State now has to win next week's Egg Bowl against Ole Miss to go to the postseason.

Seems like most are agreed that the Angels will win the division, but where will the rest fall in? Going more on feelings (I'm such a sensitive guy) than on baseball acumen, here is what I come up with:
2nd place: Oakland A's. I just don't see them falling apart; it seems that no matter who they lose, some unknown steps up to play well. That team has some magic beane or something.
3rd place: Texas Rangers. While I tend to see last year as mostly a fluke (see Kenny Rodgers' win total for exhibit #1), they DO HAVE an incredible offense. If the starting pitching holds its own until their bullpen comes on, they could be trouble. Also, didn't they have a young starter, Ryan Drese (?), who looked ready to break out and be someone special?
4th place: Seattle Mariners. This was another fluke and there is no way they will be as bad in 2005--their two big free agent signings should see to that. Depending on how well Sexson comes back from his injury and how close Beltre can come to matching his awesome 2004, the M's could be right in the mix. Seems to me they also had a young pitching talent who took it to the Angels twice in one week towards the end of last season.
(Wow, that's it. It sure seems lame having only 4 teams in a division; I still can't get used to that.)
Anyway, botom line is that I think the division from 2nd-4th is going to be bunched up pretty tight with movement up and down the standings all season long. Nobody is going to fall completely out of contention like Seattle last year.
As for the Angels, I HATE picking them to win, but I guess it would be pretty dumb not to. I do think it won't be as easy as some people think. Anything can happen (and throughout Angel history, it has) and I won't be surprised if any of the three teams jump up to snag the West.

One of the most popular animal jobs is being a Zoo Keeper!
Although zoo keeping can be extremely rewarding it is worth remembering the reality of a zoo keeper's life! A day in a life of a zoo keeper is very demanding with work being physical, dirty, often repetitive and sometimes sad. Your love for animals cannot be sentimental.
Lisa is one of our zoo keepers who is responsible for half of the animals on the exotic paddock section. She looks after animals such as Tapirs, Flamingos, Capybara's and red squirrels.
What is the best part of your job?
There are many parts of my job that I truly love. The interaction with the animals is amazing; some of the animals are really affectionate like the tapirs who love having a tickle. Every day we provide enrichment for our animals, watching them enjoy our hard work makes it all worthwhile.
What is the hardest part of your job?
There are many areas of the job that are hard, but for different reasons. The work can be really physically heavy; I always get home from work exhausted! The other really hard thing is when an animal has to be put to sleep, you have to remember that the most important thing is the animals welfare not your own feelings.
What is the first thing you do in the morning?
We start off by feeding all the animals, it is really important to take this opportunity to check all the animals are healthy. We then get on with the dirty job of cleaning the enclosures.
Lisa's route to becoming a Zoo Keeper
· A levels
· Degree in Animal Science
· Lots of work experience with animals while a student
· Trainee Zoo Keeper at Drayton Manor
Lisa's Tips:
· Get as much experience as you can! Make sure this is the job for you, it is harder than it looks!
· Be prepared to get dirty!
Ask the Managers!
Joyce Roberts is a Zoo Manager at Drayton Manor Zoo. She has a wealth of experience and has worked from the bottom, through the ranks to the top. She has worked on every section of the zoo and really knows what it takes to be a zoo keeper.
What skills make Lisa a valuable member of the team?
Lisa is extremely hard working, an essential quality for being a zoo keeper. The other great thing about Lisa is she is keen to "get stuck in!" she is willing to get her hands dirty and get the job done.
Joyce's tips:
There are only limited zoo keeper jobs out there and many people who want them, so you need to shine. Getting as much experience is essential and a lot of determination!
Be a Zoo Keeper for the day!
Gain insight into the unique characters of many of the animals and go behind the scenes on this amazing opportunity.
Spend a day with our keepers finding out more about the species they look after and even help with some of the feeding and of course the cleaning out!
Please note the minimum age for Keeper for the Day is 14 years old.
Price: £100 donation to one of our animal charities.

PHOENIX -- Seth Madsen was ready when his turn came up at a shooting range at Phoenix Comicon. He didn't make every target, but he was satisfied with his performance, saying "I got lots of stuff."
Seth was one of the many children who tried their hand Friday at the Avengers Boot Camp, which challenges attendees to aim for targets with toy replicas of weapons used by Marvel Comic heroes.
The boot camp was just one of the events tailored for children who attend the four-day Phoenix Comicon with their families.
Among the offerings are Lego building activities, cosplay classes that teach children how to dress and act like their favorite characters, and a live-action role-playing demonstration where kids can fight adults with foam-covered swords.
Phoenix Comicon opened Thursday.

Four members of the Prattville-Millbrook Sunrise Rotary Club: (photo L-R) Billie Wiggs Wynn, Roy McAuley, Mandi Fortner and Rusty Smith, recently distributed dictionaries to 3rd graders at Airport Road Intermediate School in Millbrook. This is annual program to help promote and support education. The Rotary International Four Way Test is imprinted on the inside cover of each dictionary.
It reads: Of the things We Think Say or Do:
1. Is it the Truth?
2. Is it Fair to all concerned?
3. Will it Build Good Will and Better Friendships?
4. Will it be Beneficial to all Concerned?
Each 3rd Grader will have the opportunity to have a dictionary with their own name written in it. This is a special way the Prattville-Millbrook Sunrise Rotary impacts the lives of many by giving back to the communities.

September 1, 2014
DENVER (AP) -- A man convicted of killing four people at a Colorado pizza restaurant in 1993 will soon learn the date that state officials plan to execute him.
A hearing is scheduled Wednesday for a judge to designate a one-week window for executing 38-year-old Nathan Dunlap. The week must be between 91 and 126 days after the hearing.
The state prison system chief then sets the day of execution.
Dunlap was convicted in 1996 of killing four employees of a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in the Denver suburb of Aurora.
In February, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his last guaranteed appeal.
Dunlap would be the first person executed in Colorado since 1997. His case is drawing to a close amid high emotions and political tension surrounding gun violence.

Thanks for all the info, although this sounds much more complicated than I was hoping it would be. I guess there's a reason why people spend thousands of dollars on guitars, huh.
I'm hardly what I'd call an experienced wood-worker, so i may not have any success at all. But I'll experiment, and if I have any success I'll definitely show you the pictures.
I hope I didn't put you off, there are plenty of things you'll be able to do with limited equipment and experience. However, there are some tasks which are really rather difficult, and for these it's best to know when to send it to a professional luthier rather than hash it yourself. If you're patient and willing to learn through your project, then I reckon you should go for it! Brian May and his dad managed, and look where he ended up!

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Marissa Ribisi and Sophia Coloma's L.A. label, Whitley Kros, centers around the line's fictional muse and namesake, and for holiday, Whitley is going to New York for some festive parties. "We hate to put her into a decade, but we were thinking a little bit eighties," said Coloma. Cue the gold-flecked miniskirt and sweater jacket with exaggerated shoulders and velvet detailing, along with red-carpet-ready incarnations of on-trend jumpers in satin and flocked paisley. But festive attire aside, the designers are acknowledging the pressures of the recession with their latest endeavor, the Whitley Kros Basics, set to launch at the end of October. Available year round, the collection will include a blended mix of the casual staples the label has become known for (think seamless cotton tees and knit separates) in a versatile palette of neons and neutrals.

From Bob DeCastro:
Some 10,000 gallons of crude spilled into the streets in an Atwater Village industrial area.
The above-ground pipe is located next to a strip club in the 5100 block of West San Fernando Road called The Gentleman's Club, where around 10 patrons and some staff members were evacuated as a result of the spill.
Many patrons were unable to get to their cars. The oil was "knee high" in some places, said a fire department spokesman.
The leak came from a valve of a 20-inch pipe. It was reported around. 12:15 a.m. and prompted notifications to two state agencies. The rupture turned the pipe into a geyser, with crude flying 30 feet into the air.
Two people were taken to area hospitals after complaining of nausea from the fumes. Fire officials say it will take hazmat crews 24 hours to clean up, and it poses no threat to the environment.
A geyser of crude spewed 20 feet high over approximately half a mile at about 12:15 a.m. and was knee-high in some parts of the industrial area of Atwater Village before the oil line was remotely shut off, said Fire Capt. Jaime Moore.
A handful of commercial businesses near the border of Glendale was affected, as well as a strip club that was evacuated.
Firefighters and hazardous materials crews responded. Several roads were closed.
Four people at a medical business were evaluated with respiratory complaints, and two people were transferred to a hospital, Moore said.
By dawn, an environmental cleaning company had vacuumed up most of the oil. Crews put down absorbent material to sop up the remaining crude and then used high-pressure hoses to wash the streets with a soap solution.
Officials previously said 50,000 gallons had spilled but that number was revised downward after the vacuuming began.
Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott said there was no "visible evidence" that the oil entered storm drains, which empty into the Los Angeles River. But he said it's possible that some oil seeped under manhole covers.
The 20-inch pipe burst at a transfer pumping station along a pipeline that runs from Bakersfield to Texas, Moore said.

Starting Sept. 28, the mail Durango residents drop in collection boxes or at the Post Office will be taken to Albuquerque for processing, a U.S. Postal Service spokesman said.
Also, mail addressed to Durango residents will be sorted in Albuquerque and forwarded.
No longer will mail be processed in Durango, Brian Sperry, a Denver-based regional spokesman for the agency, said Friday.
"The Postal Service continues to move forward with its plan to consolidate its vast processing network as part of a larger, more comprehensive plan to reduce costs by $20 billion by 2017," Sperry wrote in an email. "The Postal Service does not have the mail volume to justify the size and capacity of our current processing network.
"We must match our network to the anticipated workload," Sperry said. "As part of these changes, mail-processing operations in Durango are tentatively scheduled to be consolidated into our Albuquerque plant on Sept. 28."
In May 2012, the Herald reported on a Postal Service announcement that said Durango's mail-processing facility would not be consolidated until at least 2014.
Sperry could not say Friday why the closing of Durango's mail-processing was apparently moved up, or how exactly that will affect the length of time it will take mail to get to and from Durango.
The Durango Post Office on east Eighth Street will remain open as a post office and as a transportation hub. Delivery and retail operations will not be affected.
Sperry said the decision to move mail processing from Durango to Albuquerque was made more than a year ago.

Perryton city officials are still advising the community not to drink the city water.
The entire city continues to be advised to boil their water vigorously before drinking.
The superintendent, Robert Hall, closed all of Perryton's schools because they did not have a way of getting water to students and faculty.
They do plan on having school tomorrow and spent the day making plans with United in order to get water to students.
"I have just over 23-hundred students and about 360 employees. So we have 2 bottles of water for tomorrow and 2 bottles of water for employees. If it takes more than I have Fridays reserved and I can get more before Friday"
Perryton ISD says they also have water coming to the kitchens and will start boiling water in the morning to use for dish washing.
We spoke with the city manager, David Landis, about when Perryton can expect the notice to be lifted. "We will be pulling samples from our water system this afternoon and doing testing, hopefully we will have the test by Thursday night, Friday morning and if the tests are good we can lift the band"
While they are advising to boil water before drinking it, they say showering and running your washer and dryers should be fine.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling he's back.
The former Pro Bowl defensive end probably had his best game of the season Monday night in the Giants' 23-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
Pierre-Paul's statistics weren't very impressive. He had two tackles, two quarterback hurries and defended a pass as the Giants (1-6) ended their worst start since 1976.
What the numbers don't show was that the 24-year-old, who had back surgery in June, was in the backfield more than he has been all season. By his count, he was near quarterback Josh Freeman nine times and had a chance for five sacks, four more than he has this season.
"I wasn't expecting myself to come out and be Superman," Pierre-Paul said after practice on Thursday. "That's something that is ridiculous if anyone thought that would be possible. I am (being) me and all the players see I trying to get back to my regular state. That's all that counts."
Pierre-Paul readily admits he is not the same player who had a breakout season in 2011, recording 16 1/2 sacks. All he has to do is look at the videotapes of the games the past two seasons to know that. He had 6 1/2 sacks last season playing in back pain and he has struggled coming off surgery to repair a disk. He missed all of training camp and the preseason and wasn't prepared for the season, even though he has not missed a game.
The biggest difference for Pierre-Paul is his strength. It's just not the same and he feels it might get back to normal until next season.
"The way I rush the passer. I feel like I'm catching a lot, I'm catching my opponents a lot," the 2010 first-round pick said. "I'm not being a threat to them how I used to be. And that's basically it, turning the corner how I used to turn the corner."
Defensive co-ordinator Perry Fewell said Pierre-Paul is pressing to get back to the way he played in 2011, and he is not there yet. His approach as a coach has been to be patient, knowing each game back gets him closer to the goal.
"The biggest thing for us is we believe in him, and he has to believe in himself," Fewell said.
Fewell got some laughs when asked about his expectation of JPP this season.
"I always expect Superman out of him," Fewell said. "We think of him so highly, and he does so many amazing things that when he walks on the practice field, you smile. It's probably unfair to him because the expectations are for him to be Superman. He is human."
Fewell refuses to put any limitations on No. 90, adding that he could have a breakout game against Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend, all the talk about his season will be forgotten.
"I think he got a little better the other night," coach Tom Coughlin said. "I'm hoping that it continues. It's still not where we want him to be, but I thought I saw some things that were a sign in the right direction."
Pierre-Paul has no regrets about having the surgery. If it wasn't done this year it would have been done down the road. Right now, his focus is on improving. He also wouldn't mind seeing his sack total move past one.
"You never know," he said. "That breakout game might come. I missed the quarterback about five times last week. At the end of the day almost doesn't count. From the beginning of the season, I feel like I am getting close. When I see that one sack (though) I am very happy I got one. I could have no sacks. It's just nice to have one sack and I want to get another."
The Houston Texans selected defensive end Jadeveon Clowney first overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Oh noes! Trees could be dying. Quick! To them. For the saving. Here's a SF Gate article on tons and tons more trees, you need to start sitting in immediately. Olive, Dumpster Muffin, Ayr, I implore you. Save our trees. Our OTHER trees.
And look you only have like 100 years to do this, so you better move now. Just look at this purported future map of oak trees:
via imgs.sfgate.com
Ok, now you are going to need to fan out. D. Muffin, you can move to the trees in Oregon. Squirtie, you can head over to trees in San Diego. The rest of you also pick places far away and move there.
Because, look, if this is how the plaintiffs are going to play the Writ of Mandate business, it could end poorly for you here. Why not get a jump on your next project? Far, far away from here. That link is the SF Gate article on the Order submitted by the plaintiffs to the Court yesterday. I just checked the Alameda County Court website and it is not scanned in. But here are some excerpts from the article:
"We feel pretty confident that a proper evaluation of the stadium would foreclose on this project, because we think the value of Memorial Stadium is at or near zero," said Stephan Volker, an attorney for the tree advocates.
Outside court, university officials have said the landmark 1923 bowl is worth about $593 million, although the plaintiffs say the structure, which sits astride the Hayward Fault, is worthless because of its dilapidated condition. According to state law, retrofit costs cannot exceed half the value of the building if it sits on a fault.
I know Volkie has a lot of bluster, but I really, really, really, really, really, REALLY hope that the plaintiffs actually submitted documents with a Memorial Stadium value of zero. If there is a God! Here's a timeline going forward:
The university will submit a proposed judgment in its favor Friday. The judge will review both and is expected to rule in the next few weeks. After that, the parties have 60 days to file an appeal.
There's a 2 billion percent chance, the plaintiffs will wait until the 59th day to file their appeal. Ugh. More delays. Also, further clarification on whether our beloved UC Cal would help the tree-sitters:
In other news Tuesday, university officials sent a letter to the Berkeley city manager suggesting the university would provide supplies to the nine tree-sitters perched in the contested oak grove.
"In the event (the tree-sitters) do not come down, we will take appropriate measures to maintain their health and safety. We will not, however, allow re-supply from outside groups," Vice Chancellor Nathan Brostrom and campus Police Chief Victoria Harrison wrote to City Manager Phil Kamlarz.
This doesn't tell us nothing groundbreaking, really. We all sorta knew that it would end this way, anyway. But it does provide some much needed clarification. I would like to see the text of the submitted documents, though. Hopefully, they will be scanned in, soon.
And, finally, because I'm going to whore out my friend's blog here. Because I'm a giant whore. It is about LA bars. Wow, I feel so dirty. But hey, whoring out other blogs is what us bloggers do best! And it's not like I can whore out my friends. That's what my wife and children are for! I like!

Bush and Rove are all about the BIG lie.
They know how to make it work for them, and the media has been complicit. As have naive Democrats who tend to give the media like Newsweek and Time credit before the fact for being imparital and rigourous in their methods.
They are not.
The media, its owners and its polling organizations are actively working for a specific outcome, and their reporters know who pays their salaries and what they should to do get ahead.


text: IF Reiff can come in and start anywhere on the line and show us NFL caliber pass protection skills from day one - If Broyles can show out as a receiver that has a sense for quickly getting open and giving Stafford a reliable option in his progressions consistently ( I'm talking 25 quality catches in the second half of the season plus the playoffs) - If Bentley can turn and run, if Green can turn and run - If Greenwood can translate his physicality into some kind of role ( somehow my intuition is telling me the guy will transition more seamlessly as a safety) - if Whitehead becomes a coverage ace on special teams like Eukiejuba - if Ronnel can rush the edge and " hammer " some opponents on special teams - if Travis Lewis can stick with us as a developmental linebacker - if, if, if, - if 3/4's of the above happen - then this is a quality draft. The thing that stands out the most to me this morning is that I think the Philly's and the Chicago's and the Arizona's and Dallas and Washington and Carolina and hell, even Minnesota improved through this draft too. The Giants and Niners drafted well and became even better. So I think the Lion's coaching staff just needs to really develop our talent and " ride no. 9 ". We still need to play things smart in free agency and through trades. Hopefully, we'll continue to make progress and show out in " prime time ". I think we win a few shootouts and make the playoffs again this upcoming season.

News: N.O.R.E. Says CNN/Raekwon Merger Is A One-Album Deal, "We're Business Partners As Opposed To Artists"
Thursday, Mar 4, 2010 3:35PM
CNN's N.O.R.E. has clarified recent reports about signing to Raekwon's Ice Water record label for the release of their new album, The War Report 2.
According to Nore, his deal is set-up to allow him and Capone to be business partners with "The Chef."
"I want everybody to be clear. Its not that we signed as artists. The deal is structured, (Thug) Militainment / Ice Water, through EMI," he explained in an interview. "We're business partners, as opposed to artists. I don't want people to get it confused. 50/50 partners. We figured lets merge so for this particular project, Militainment / Ice Water merger. Yeah, [just for War Report 2]...We figured why not? We were always cool and they had success in what they did. Me personally, I don't really understand this independent game. I haven't had much success independent that I had with a major." (All Hip Hop)
Last month, Nore said joining Raekwon's team was like reuniting with an older brother.
"I can't even say that it's guidance," he shared about Rae's position in an interview. "I can just say that you know what Rae adds to the whole thing is like when we had Trag around, Trag brought that like older brother element around and that's the same thing Rae brings. When he's around he's like a older brother." (XXL Mag)
Rae broke the news of signing CNN in a video announcement last December.
"A lot of things been going on," Raekwon explained in a self-madevideo. "All I can say, all praises. We been working , everything is getting where it need to be, you know what I mean, we got a new element amongst the family right now. Shout-outs to CNN. They just joined the Ice Water family. CNN, that's right,Capone and N.O.R.E. You know what time it is, word up, so we did like a little merge thing. So get ready for that, it's about to jump off." (Ice Water TV)
Recently, Rae spoke on running his own label and finding superstar talent.
"One thing about my company, we all try to communicate every day," he explained in an interview. "I feel like if we don't, that's going to be the weapon to destroy us. Christine Eva. I got a young cat coming out of North Carolina, he's 11 years old. His name is Little Justice. I think he's going to be the next Lil Romeo or the next Bow Wow." (Entertainment Weekly)

And we all fall in love with Channing Tatum a little bit more after watching this video. Channing Tatum is IT right now. Not only is he People magazine Sexiest Man Alive he is also GQ's Man of the Year: Movie Star of the Year".
And he seems to be handling all this crazy attention with grace. Watch this video from GQ…dancing and acting silly are not something you usually see big movie stars doing. Would George Clooney or Brad Pitt done this back in their day? Maybe..but not as charming as this. This guy knows how to give the photographers a good picture.
Here are some clips from the interview that goes with the cute video and hot pictures
On why he works so hard after getting career advice from "very successful, smart actors": "They were like: 'Grind it. If you love it, grind it.' I did. And a lot of people who didn't grind it, it's not that they're not in a good place, but I'm in a better place."
Why he decided to take the role in The Vow: "I did The Vow because I really love being in love."

Sporotrichosis in Dogs
Sporotrichosis is a fungal disease that affects the skin, respiratory system, bones and sometimes the brain. Infection is caused by the virtually ubiquitous dimorphic (mold and yeast) fungus, Sporothrix schenckii, which typically infects via direct inoculation - that is, through abrasions of the skin or by inhalation. The origin of the fungus is environmental; it is naturally found in soil, plants and sphagnum moss, but it can be communicated zoonotically between different animal species, and between animals and humans.
In dogs, the disease occurs more commonly in hunting dogs because of the increased likelihood of puncture wounds associated with thorns or splinters.
Symptoms and Types
Cutaneous sporotrichosis
- Bumps, or lesions on the skin surface, swollen lymph glands
- Numerous nodules that may drain or crust, typically affecting the head or trunk
- Previous trauma or puncture wound in the affected area is a variable finding
- Poor response to previous antibacterial therapy
- Combination of cutaneous and lymph form—usually an extension of the cutaneous form, which spreads via the lymphs, resulting in the formation of new nodules and draining tracts or crusts.
- Lymphadenopathy (disease of the lymphs) is common
Disseminated sporotrichosis
- Rare, occurs when the initial infection spreads into the body to a secondary location
- Systemic signs of malaise and fever
- Osteoarticular sporotrichosis occurs when the infection spreads into the bones and joints
- Sporotrichosis meningitis occurs when the infection spreads into the nervous system and brain
- Symptoms include loss of appetite (anorexia), and weight loss (cachexia)
Pulmonary sporotrichosis
- Occurs as a result of inhalation of Sporothrix schenckii spores
- Infected animal is more at risk of developing pneumonia
- Animals exposed to soil rich in decaying organic debris appear to be predisposed
- In dogs, puncture wounds associated with foreign bodies provide an increased opportunity for infection. Cat scratches provide a similar opportunity
- Exposure to other infected animals increases the risk factor
- Immunosuppressive disease should be considered a risk factor
Your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical exam on your dog, taking into account the background history of symptoms and possible incidents that might have led to this condition. A complete blood profile will be conducted, including a chemical blood profile, a complete blood count, and a urinalysis.
It is important to note that this is a zoonotic disease, meaning that it is communicable to humans and other animals, and proper precautions will need to be taken to prevent the spread of infection. Even if you do not have a break in your skin, you are not protected against acquiring the disease.
An examination of the fluid from the lesions is often necessary to confirm an infection. In dogs, special fungal stains may aid in the diagnosis, but a negative finding does not rule out the disease. Laboratory cultures of the deeply affected tissue often require surgery to obtain an adequate sample. These samples will be sent for analysis, along with a special note to the laboratory listing sporotrichosis as a differential diagnosis. Secondary bacterial infections are common.
Because of its potential for infection in humans, your dog may be hospitalized for the initial treatment. In many situations, outpatient therapy may be a consideration. Several antifungal drugs are available for treatment of this infection. Your veterinarian will choose the type that is best suited to your dog. The treatment generally takes some time; at least several weeks after the initial treatment before the patient is considered recovered.
Although difficult to prevent because of its prevalence in the environment, it is helpful to determine the source of the Sporothrix schenckii, so that you can take steps to prevent repeat infections.
Living and Management
Your veterinarian will set up a schedule of follow-up appointments at around every 2–4 weeks in order to re-evaluate your dog. Clinical signs will be monitored and liver enzymes will be assessed. Side effects associated with treatment will be evaluated, and treatment will be adapted according to your dog's reactions. If your dog does not respond to therapy, your veterinarian will make changes in the medication.
An in-depth examination of the properties of urine; used to determine the presence or absence of illness
A type of fungus that produces buds
A medical condition in which the meninges becomes inflamed
General discomfort of the body
The introduction of an animal to an organism in order to create a slight disease to induce immunity
Used to refer to any drug or medical substance that has the ability to slow down or stop the growth of bacteria and other such organisms.

NEWS: Lightning strike victim makes an incredible recovery
A mother of two may have survived a lightning strike because she had just been in the water at Cairn Curran Reservoir, medical experts say.
Simone Newman was struck by a bolt about 7.30pm on Wednesday moments after she had gotten out of the water where she was playing with her children.
Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Stuart Coombs said Ms Newman may have survived because the water droplets provided a path for the current to travel through.
"If the charge enters the body it can be fatal," he said.
"The water may have let the charge skim over her instead of trying to find water inside her body.
"But it can depend upon what the person is wearing, too.
"If this woman had just been in the water she would not have been wearing much, which is good.
"That means she would not have had any metal on.
"Jewellery and belt buckles provide entry points for the electrical current."
Dr Chris Andrews, a Queensland GP and international authority on lightning injury who has treated more than 150 strike victims, said Ms Newman was lucky to receive CPR when she collapsed after the lightning struck her.
"When someone is struck, the current flows internally through their body for a split second, before flashing over the surface of their skin," he said.
"The heart stops and breathing ceases.
"The heart can restart itself because it has a kind of natural pacemaker.
"But breathing doesn't restart on its own.
"That's why CPR is so important.
"It sounds like the people around this woman did exactly what they should have done."
Dr Andrews said it was critical to ensure the person continued to receive oxygen after they were struck by lightning.
"The mortality rates due to lightning strikes are about 10 to 20 per cent," he said.
About 10 to 12 people die in Australia every year due to lightning strikes.
Ms Newman remains at Bendigo Hospital in a stable condition.
La Trobe university Paramedicine senior lecturer Susan Furness said the incident provided a timely reminder for people to know CPR.

Mine is a different color but I love this necklace. love it love it love it. especially with baby wearing this was a great plaything for my son while being carried and it kept him occupied and not chewing on the carrier straps. It's wonderful for nursing as well since it keeps his hands busy instead of picking at my nose, lips, pulling hair, my shirt... etc.
If you're looking for fashion, this may not be it. If you want cute and totally functional. Get one!

RICHLANDS, VA (Press Release) – Clinch Valley Medical Center is making it easier for heart patients in our community to receive care locally with the launch of a new Interventional Cardiology program. The program, led by Dr. Pavan Karnati will provide patients ready access to a variety of diagnostic and non-surgical treatments for the heart, including angioplasty and stenting.
"Interventional Cardiology relies heavily upon catheter-based techniques that are less invasive than surgical procedures, and typically allow for faster recovery and relief from symptoms," says Dr. Karnati, Interventional Cardiologist at Clinch Valley Medical Center "Through this new program, we'll be able to provide potentially life-saving treatment to patients with narrowed coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart; peripheral arteries, which supply blood to the legs, feet, kidneys and abdomen; and carotid arteries, which supply blood to the head and neck."
"Clinch Valley Medical Center remains committed to providing quality healthcare close to home," says David Darden, Chief Executive Officer at Clinch Valley Medical Center. "We are both pleased and proud to provide these new services to our community."
According to Dr. Karnati the following procedures will be offered as a part of Clinch Valley Medical Center's Interventional Cardiology Center:
Angioplasty creates a space in a blocked artery by inserting and inflating a tiny balloon. The balloon, which does not remain in the body, compresses the plaque against the wall of the artery so that blood can flow more freely.
Cardioverter Defibrillators help treat patients at high risk for sudden cardiac arrest. Implanted through a small incision near the shoulder, ICDs use electrical pulses to help control life-threatening and irregular heartbeats.
Fractional Flow Reserve can accurately measure blood pressure and flow through a specific part of the coronary artery. It can be useful in assessing whether or not to perform angioplasty or stenting on intermediate blockages.
Intravascular Ultrasound employs a catheter in the coronary artery to emit sound waves that produce an image of a blockage, providing information necessary to determine next steps in treatment.
Pacemaker Insertion is for patients with abnormally slow heart rhythms, congestive heart failure and/or a high risk for sudden cardiac arrest. Pacemakers help the heart pump more effectively by coordinating the pumping action through electrical signals.
Peripheral Arterial Disease Intervention involves the evaluation of diseases of the blood vessels outside the heart. Balloon angioplasty and stenting may be used similarly to treat PAD. In addition to Dr. Karnati, Dr. David Cassada and Dr. Vijay Ramakrishnan can perform this procedure as well.
Stenting uses a tiny, permanently placed, stainless steel, wire-mesh tube called a stent to keep arteries open following a Balloon Angioplasty (see above). Both bare-metal and medication-releasing stents are available.

MARYVILLE (WATE) - The Blount County Sheriff's Office and the Fifth Judicial Drug Task Force responded to two separate locations where several "one pot" method meth labs were found on Wednesday night, according to Sheriff James Lee Berrong.
Officials responded to a call of a suspicious bag that a resident found behind their home in a field around 5:30 p.m. on Arabian Lane.
The bag contained items used to manufacture methamphetamine, and evidence showed meth was cooked recently. The ingredients in the bag were neutralized.
After the Arabian Lane call, investigators went to a residence on Nails Creek Road.
Four separate "one pot" meth labs were in a detached garage. Evidence showed meth had been cooked recently, and the ingredients were also neutralized.
The investigation into both labs are ongoing.
The Fifth Judicial Drug Task Force has worked four separate meth labs so far in 2013.

Wiz Khalifa stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live (well, sort of — he was off-site) to perform his woozy song "Remember You" off his forthcoming album O.N.I.F.C. (out December 4). Unfortunately, The Weeknd was present only as a pre-recorded backing track. But Wiz made up for his absence by bringing a slightly more raucous vibe to the performance — even busting out a few dance moves at the end. Maybe the scarves draped on his mic had him channeling Steven Tyler in spirit, too.

Backup plan: If Iowa running back sensation Mark Weisman can't play against Penn State after hurting an ankle last week at Michigan State, Hawkeye commentator and ex-Iowa star Ed Podolak is confident that true freshman Greg Garmon can carry the load.
Garmon has 14 carries for 35 yards this season and has dealt with an elbow injury that has cost him time. His backup? Jordan Canzeri, who hasn't played this season since having knee surgery in the spring. You thinking what I'm thinking? Oh, Penn State—red hot with four wins in a row and coming off a bye–allows 128.5 yards rushing per game to rank sixth in the Big Ten.
He's back: Don't look now, but Wisconsin running back Montee Ball is on fire. In fact, the senior may be back in the Heisman race. Check out his numbers through seven games in 2012 as compared to 2011. Tom Mulhern of the Wisconsin State Journal did.
- 2012: 172 carries for 816 yards (4.7 average) with 11 rushing touchdowns.
- 2011: 125 carries for 768 yards (6.1 average) with 17 rushing touchdowns.
And Ball's history says his best work comes in the second half of the season. What's it all mean? The best is yet to come for Ball—and the Badgers.
Hands up: While discussing Wisconsin, did you notice the recent efforts of tight ends Jacob Pedersen and Brian Wozniak? If the duo keeps it up, the Badgers will have options at every skill position, making it good to be coordinator Matt Canada.
Forward, march: Yes, Michigan State has the top rushing defense in the Big Ten. Regardless, Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges still plans to run the ball.
Why not? The Wolverines' ground game has some stream and mojo. This is who Michigan is: a rushing team with a wondrous playmaker in Denard Robinson. Sure, defenses may know what's coming … still, running the ball is Michigan's best option. Trying to pass was disastrous against Notre Dame.
The last two games, Michigan got back to basics. The results, according to Kyle Meinke of MLive.com: The Wolverines ran 105 times in the last two games, after rushing 144 times in the first four games combined. Defenses knew what was coming — and the Wolverines still averaged 6.3 yards per carry in the two games vs. Illinois and Purdue, and racked up 657 rushing yards.
And the winner is …: David Jones of the Harrisburg Patriot-News is a veteran scribe and Midwest native who has traveled the Big Ten circuit for years. So, when he writes something, you pay attention. On that note, check out his ranking of Big Ten venues.
Moving crew: The Ohio State ground game is gaining traction. Credit the offensive line.
Entering the season, the unit was a bit of a question. Players were being moved and a tight end was being lined up at right tackle. Sprinkle in a new coach and a new scheme and, well, you can see why there was concern. But in the last two games, the Buckeyes have run for over 300 yards in each contest.
And a visit from Purdue and its leaky defense could mean more success for the Ohio State rushing attack, which ranks No. 2 in the Big Ten (263.6 ypg). Urban Meyer credits o-line coach Ed Warinner, who has done a boffo job. And, I agree.
Just imagine if star running back Jordan Hall hadn't been out most of the year with injury.
New assignment? When Minnesota visits Wisconsin, there's a chance banged-up quarterback MarQueis Gray may line up at receiver.
He is taking more reps at wideout in practice this week after catching his first two passes last week. Minnesota needs help at receiver due to injuries to Isaac Fruechte and Devin Crawford-Tufts. Gray is a great athlete who can help pump up an offense that is struggling no matter where he plays.
Watch & learn: In this video, Steve Sipple and Brian Christopherson of the Lincoln Journal Star tackle three questions facing Nebraska before the key game at Northwestern.
Wisconsin AD Barry Alvarez says a home-and-home deal with a non-conference opponent will be announced in the next day or two. Not 'Bama.—
Andy Baggot (@AndyBaggotWSJ) October 17, 2012
My take: I'm guessing this is gonna be something good. Why leak info about a pending announcement of a series vs., say, Western Kentucky?
Defensive coordinator John Papuchis says freshman linebacker David Santos "might be more in the mix" on Saturday.—
Brian Rosenthal (@HuskerExtraBR) October 16, 2012
My take: Why not? Nebraska gave up 63 points the last time out. Seems to me any changes to the defense would be justified.
Michigan LB Kenny Demens said he is not allowed to say what players on Michigan State's team he knows and is friends with.—
Michael Rothstein (@mikerothstein) October 16, 2012
My take: Someone explain this to me.
Dantonio says a win rivalry game can be a "defining moment," in getting a season back on track.—
Matt Charboneau (@mattcharboneau) October 16, 2012
My take: Let's put this in the running for "Understatement of the Year."

For your convenience all AVIS, Budget, Europcar and Thrifty rental vehicles are now fitted with an RMS electronic tag. (RMS is the NSW Roads & Maritime Services agency - formerly NSW RTA.)
This allows you to travel on any tollway in Australia, including EastLink without having to arrange a tag or pass before renting your vehicle.
You can find out more about the AVIS, Budget, Europcar and Thrifty tolling program:
Through the RMS partnership with AVIS, Budget, Europcar and Thrifty, when you rent any vehicle through AVIS, Budget, Europcar or Thrifty you enter into an agreement with RMS. As a result, your rental vehicle details will be detected when you drive through any electronic toll collection point on any tollway in Australia, including EastLink.
RMS operates tolling for the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Tunnel and issues E-Toll electronic tags. ConnectEast, the owner and operator of EastLink, has arranged with RMS that E-Toll electronic tags fitted to vehicles can be used for trips on EastLink. Similar arrangements apply for all other Australian tollways.
At the time of renting a vehicle from AVIS, Budget, Europcar or Thirfty your rental documents will include the additional RMS E-Toll Facility Terms and Conditions that will apply to the use of the rental vehicle on any tollway in Australia, including EastLink. The vehicle will be fitted with an E-Toll electronic tag.
Tolls incurred by your rental vehicle, together with a daily service fee, will be charged back to you by the same payment collection method you have chosen to pay for your rental vehicle. The daily service fee will only be charged for the days you travel on a tollway.
The amounts payable in connection with your use of the RMS E-Toll service are described in the RMS E-Toll Facility Terms and Conditions. Please note that the amounts payable include:
The amounts owing to RMS in connection with your use of the RMS E-Toll service will be charged to your credit card or invoiced directly by RMS - visit www.rta.nsw.gov.au/myrta/e-toll/#renting for details.
To download a tax invoice or a transaction summary of toll payments visit www.rta.nsw.gov.au/myrta/e-toll/#renting and follow the instructions on the site.
For telephone enquiries please phone RMS on 131 TOL (131 865).
IMPORTANT: When driving an AVIS, Budget, Europcar or Thrifty rental vehicle that is covered by the RMS E-Toll service you must not use any other tag or tolling product of any other toll provider. This means you should not buy an EastLink trip pass, otherwise you would incur an unnecessary cost (as EastLink trip passes are not refundable).
ConnectEast Pty. Limited is the owner & operator of EastLink

Walk: Lymm Dam
4:50pm Tuesday 19th June 2012 in Walks in Lancashire By Ron Freethy
I don't often stroll around Cheshire these days but in blazing hot sunshine Lymm Dam is a lovely place to walk through history and natural history and also follow the towpath of the Bridgewater Canal.
Walk past the Welcome to Lymm Dam sign.
This was formed in 1824 when the new Turnpike road linking Warrington and Stockport was flooded.
This dammed Bradley Brook and flooded the marsh on the vicinity of the church.
The park was originally landscaped by the first Lord Leverhulme, who was born in Bolton and was the founder of the Lever empire centred on Port Sunlight.
This is now the world famous Unilever.
Bradley Brook flows from the Upper Dam into the Middle Dam, down through the Dingle and into the Lower Dam.
I had a lovely sighting here of a great crested grebe incubating its eggs.
Descend a set of steps and cross an attractive bridge above a waterfall which links the Upper and Middle Dams.
Turn right and continue around the expansive water, through a belt of trees and with views across to Lymm church. There are records of the church dating back to the 10th century but it has been rebuilt many times over the years, the last time in 1851.
Care is needed here to cross the often busy A56 road.
Follow the track down into the Dingle by the side of Bradley Brook to emerge in the centre of Lymm and the Lower Dam. Turn left up Bridgewater Street to reach the canal.
Turn right on the towpath and enjoy the sight of lots of colourful birds. Before you cross Lymm Bridge look down into the Town square to see the ancient market cross. Follow the towpathtowards Oughtrighton Bridge for about a mile.
The Bridgewater, designed by James Brindley, was the first true canal to be built in England and dates to 1770.
Cross the canal and immediately double back, but on the opposite towpath. The water is now on the right.
Continue onwards to reach a road.
Pass a school and then turn left up Orchard Avenue. At the top of the road turn sharp right onto the higher path. Keep straight on towards the church.
Return across the A56 near Lymm Dam and follow a board walk and then up some steps to a picnic area. Return to the car park.
How to get there: Turn off the M6 motorway at Junction 20 and follow the A56 Lymm. There is a car park close to St Mary's church close to the dam.
Distance: 3½ miles

A twin is one of two offspring produced in the same pregnancy.[1]Twins can either be monozygotic ("identical"), meaning that they develop from one zygote that splits and forms two embryos, or dizygotic ("fraternal") because they develop from two separate eggs that are fertilized by two separate sperm.
In contrast, a fetus which develops alone in the womb is called a singleton, and the general term for one offspring of a multiple birth is multiple.
Any twins in here? Twins in your family? Aren't twins weird?
