There has been a lot of speculation on which free agents will be or should be signed by the tigers in the 2010 off season. I'd like to look at that question from a different perspective. Who is likely to play the majority of innings at each position if no free agents or trades are made? This is a worst case scenario based on filling each roster position entirely from within and without signing any of the current players whose contracts are about to expire. This serves as a good starting point for discussions on what would happen if the tigers don't sign or trade for someone to cover any open positions.
Here we go.
1B - duh
2B - Guillen and Rhymes (starting after Carlos hits the DL)
SS - Worth / Santiago (he can't keep Leyland's attention for a full season, though)
3B - Sizemore
LF - Boesch
CF - Ajax
RF - Wells
C - Avila
DH - Raburn / Guillen
MI - Santiago
MI - Dlugach
OF - Clete Thomas / Ryan Streiby (if he can show his wrist is solid (but I'm not confident))
C - Max St. Pierre (congrats on the call up)
SP1 - Verlander
SP2 - Scherzer
SP3 - Porcello
SP4 - Armando
SP5 - Oliver
RP - Weinhardt
RP - Sborz
RP - Schlereth
RP - Bonine
SU - Coke
SU - Perry
Closer - Valverde
So, all of these chaps are signed for 2011 and are on the 40-man roster. Doesn't include Zumaya, Miner, or Seay (who won't be pitching next year anyway and is a free agent). Certainly is a much younger team than this year, but the roster is not as horrific as it would have been if we did this exercise a few years ago while trying to plug the same number of holes on the MLB roster.
Pitching - starters looks pretty darn good, although I'd rather see Oliver spend more time at AAA. Armando is better off as a 5th starter but he's pulled together a pretty decent season. The bullpen looks pretty much like what we have right now. If Perry and Schlereth find some consistency and Valverde and Coke maintain their production, then this could be a strength of the team.
Outfield - pretty risky with a rookie and 2 second year players as the starters. If Boesch has reached his level (a .260 hitter with sporadic power), then this group really needs reinforcement. Wells might be a solid pro, but I would hate to rely on him and Boesch too much next year and would much prefer going in with no more than a platoon between the two. Raburn at DH and occasional fill in for the OF would be pretty good given how well he has hit with consistent AB's -no need to ruin the benefit by him spending too much time in the field.
Infield - Here's where things really fall apart. Miguel is one of the best in the league. 2B though depends too much on Glass jaw Carlos. If they put him at DH, that would reduce his time on the DL, but come on, he is not likely to see more than 300 plate appearances wherever they put him. Rhymes has been exciting, but who is convinced that he could be an everyday 2B? If he splits the spot 50 / 50 with Carlos (my best case scenario for playing time), then this position is still not likely to be too much above replacement level. SS is just as bad, but with more predictability. Worth could be an everyday SS, albeit greatly below average offensively. Sure beats Everett (which makes me think that SS is less likely to be filled by a FA given DD's approach). 3B is also a big unknown as Sizemore has had many starts in Toledo recently at 3B. His defense could be poor but has the potential to hit well enough to earn a look. Leyland hasn't given him any AB's since his callup in Sept so I must believe that Sizemore did something bad to Leyland (hid his smokes?).
Bench - This is predictably awful. Santiago is fine as a backup MI and Clete Thomas could also do well as a fill in, but we'll need more help at C. If FA's are signed or trades made, then some of the projected starters slide back here.
Overall, I'm much more concerned about the 3 infield positions. What we've seen this year from the tigers has been inconsistent use of the youngsters, a lack of faith in Sizemore, too much faith in Carlos' body, and general confusion about SS. In the eyes of Dombroski, are Peralta and Inge that much better than the in-house candidates? We certainly need the addition of one outfielder (preferably one who can get on base) and likely also a DH and at least two infielders (2B, SS, or 3B) with the other spot manned by Carlos and a youngster. Pitching doesn't look too bad, compared to the fielders. Despite all the calls for more pitching, this seems like an area that can more easily be filled from within compared to other positions.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Community leaders and city officials are trying to make sure that an outbreak of violence similar to what occurred this past weekend doesn't happen again.
Police responded to several assaults and robberies throughout downtown Saturday night. LMPD Chief Steve Conrad says 10 people were attacked by teens who gathered to remember a stabbing victim.
"We take this personal. We are going to hold people accountable for their behaviors," said Conrad.
City officials promise a larger police presence downtown and at Waterfront Park. This weekend there will be a big convention in town and baseball games. "We don't expect any type of problem. People are more comfortable when police are around," Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said.
Police are reviewing surveillance videos and taking tips after Saturday's violence that started after police dispersed the crowd at the bridge involving a mob of around 200 teens that attacked and robbed people at Waterfront Park. Many of those in the crowd also stormed Bader's Food Mart on South First Street, assaulting the clerk as he tried to lock the doors.
Conrad says investigators have learned the teens originally gathered at the bridge to remember TARC stabbing victim Me'Quale Offutt.
"People came together at the park to remember Me'Quale," Conrad said during the meeting Tuesday organized by the group ManUp. "I do not believe -- and based on what we were able to see on social media that we looked at, public postings -- that there was any information that we were going to come to the park to cause damage, that we were going to come to the park to rob people, or come to the park to assault people."
A spokesperson for Me'Quale Offutt's family tells WDRB the family's event to remember the 14-year-old happened Friday and without incident.
While the investigation continues into who's to blame for Saturday night, police say to tackle big picture problem, they need help. City officials say they already have a broad community response in place to respond to these types of incidents-- like the Safe and Healthy Community team.
"We have young people who are out of control and we've got to deal with that. This is not a race issue, this is a problem with the young people in the community," said the Mayor's Chief Community Builder Sadiqa Reynolds.
Efforts from community leaders in coming weeks will include visiting spots around town where large groups of kids come together. "When kids gather there we want to be there and then start putting in some positive reinforcements there and connect them with mentors," said Safe Neighborhoods Director Anthony Smith.
There are also community meetings planned in West Louisville Thursday to talk to teens about violence and what happened over the weekend, Reynolds says.

Oh what a year. I sit here fixing to get drunk off my ass because I legally can now thinking what the hell.
We end up losing three players in three consecutive weeks to ACL tears (seriously what are the damn odds we lose three of our best players to a freak injury), are front runners for Andrew Luck, go on a winning streak, get our doors blown in 5 times, fire our HC, cause a whole lot of hooplah, blow the defending Super Bowl Champs doors in and are one blocked FG from going to the playoffs.
More Hooplah after the jump...
Romeo Crennel was the best choice for the job. We knew the Don was not going to hire a high profile coach. Not his style. As far as I am concerned as long as he didn't get blown out against the Faiders and Jackasses, the job was his after taking the Packers to the cleaners.
Kyle Orton 23/31 299 Yards 0 INT, 0 TD
Mr. Discount Double Check 17/35 235 Yards 0 INT 1 TD
Enough said.
Chiefs fans were hoping for Romeo's former DC in Cleveland Mel Tucker to come here. That was not going to happen because Gene Smith's job depended on it. If they let Mel go, it would have been the equivalent to letting Romeo go.
They swapped OC's with ATL and promoted Atlanta's OC to HC and brought in Atlanta's QB Coach to be their OC. To clarify, the Jaguars essentially traded Dirk Koetter for Mike Mularkey and Bob Bratowski. Then promoted Mike to HC and Bob to OC. Considering that these two have a history of developing young QB's (Mike molded Matt Ryan and Bob molded a certain Raiders QB that they received in a trade). And they gave Mel Tucker a promotion to Assistant HC to ensure that the only way he leaves Jacksonville is for a HC job.
And people say Pioli has a problem with taking from a franchise he is familiar with.
If I were Pioli, I would have done EXACTLY what Gene did. Use that connection to the Falcons to the best of your ability. You know that the Chiefs need help on the offense. I don't give a rats ass that the Falcons didn't put up a damn offensive point against the Giants. You do what you need to do to succeed.
Gene knew that he needed to help develop his first round QB and so he got two guys that could help do that. He also knew that he needed help coaching WR's and their "Pro Bowl" TE and got a guy that could do that (Mike Mularkey was a former TE and Bob Bratowski is a former WR Coach as well as QB Coach). He saw the problem, he knew that Khan would throw money to help and he used his connections (the Falcons HC was the Jaguars DC before Tucker) to get the problem solved.
People call Clark Hunt cheap BUT he gave Pioli a blank check. It is actually Pioli being the cheap one.
Had Pioli done exactly that and kept Crennel as DC, we would be in better shape.
I have hope that the Chiefs can cause a WHOLE lotta
Hoopla! (via Marioman9612)
in the future.
PS: Sorry if this sounded like a rant but I didn't want to make two posts and so yeah.


text: It has been reported that Brandon Marshall was given a first round tender today. Intstead of us having to give up multiple draft picks, we only have to give up a first. I don't know about the rest of you, but I would do this in a heart beat. Instead of drafting a receiver who may bust, we can go out and get a pro-bowl receiver who is pretty much a lock for 100 rec. and 1000 yards.If we could do this and re-sign mason, our receiving core will be solid and we can address our pass rush and CB situation with our other picks or FA. We also tendered Gaither for a first, so if someone picks him up we would get their first. We possibly could get Marshall and move up in the first round. What do you guys think?

After this week, many Tri-State students will be on summer break, meaning thousands of school children will be on the streets, looking for something to do. And, local police say sometimes they resort to illegal mischief to pass the time.
Police say as soon as the school year ends they start to see an upward trend in teen crimes, especially crimes of opportunity.
That includes more suspicious person calls with kids wandering neighborhoods, thefts of small items such as bikes and lawn ornaments and even criminal damage.
"They don't have anybody watching after them so therefore the kids can kind of go off by themselves," said QPD Officer Brent Holtman. "Once kids get together they kind of put their minds together and sometimes come up with some pretty bad ideas sometimes. And, therefore, follow through with them.
Officer Holtman advises parents to set curfews for their kids and make sure to know where they are at all times.
"The biggest advice I could tell parents is to keep track of your kids; know where they are going, know who they are with, give them set curfews, also have them check in," said Holtman. "When they check in ask them who they are with, ask them where they are at and what they are doing."

According to the National Science Foundation, less than 5 percent of undergrads leave school with a degree in engineering. Here in South Carolina, industry experts say that number is too small to meet a growing demand.
You won't find many 15-year-olds willingly confined to a classroom setting in the middle of July.
"They're probably at the beach having fun," said Raveen Jayasinghe.
But Jayasinghe is willing. He's one of 55 high school students chosen from across the state to participate in a new virtual engineering jump start program.
"By the time our kids step foot on a college campus, they're going to be some of the brightest engineering kids there are," said program director Ted Lee.
The program starts with a week of building projects and learning the finer points of team work.
"That's what the kids are realizing now, "said Lee. "I have to take these eight different personalities and get them to mesh together as a team and create a product out of that."
After this intensive week, the students continue their learning through virtual classes, five days a week, for the next three years.
"It's more like having a job and preparing you instead of just sitting in class and being graded on what you've done," said student Emily Weick.
If the students make it through, the payoff could be big.
"The universities are producing around 800-1000 engineering graduates a year, but it's still not enough," said Lee. "There's a lot of new industry being produced in the state and so the need is only going to grow."
Starting salaries can be as high as six figures for many engineers, and the goal of the program is to keep them in South Carolina.
And who knows? The Palmetto State could keep kids like Jayasinghe right here.
"I'm really hoping to find a great job here in South Carolina, since I've known this place my whole life," said Jayasinghe.

SWINDON TOWN: Trust completes first aid course
6:00am Saturday 15th December 2012 in Sport By Sam Morshead
SWINDON Town Football in the Community Trust recently completed their first emergency first aid course at Lambourn Sports Juniors.
The programme, which took place on Saturday December 1, further expands the Trust's coaching portfolio and received plenty of positive feedback from those who participated.
Lambourn club secretary Carl Skeats said: "We found as a club it was great for us to be able to get Pat Murphy to come here as it allowed us to put all of the coaches through the course on the same day in a venue and at a time that was convenient to us.
"From an administrative point of view we know exactly when all of our coaches' qualifications expire so we do not have to send them off as individuals to find courses. We found the course was run professionally, was well organised, and Pat knew his topic well. He passed on that information to us in a really relaxed and informal way, that made the participants confident and at ease. I would really recommend it to any club".
Trust manager Clive Maguire said: "This is an exciting expansion to our education programme. We are now an FA-approved first aid course deliverer. It was great to run our first ever course at Lambourn FC as we have built a fantastic partnership with their football club.
"We had superb feedback on how the course was professionally delivered and are looking forward to the courses we have booked in the new year. We will also be delivering FA Level One and Level Two coaching qualifications as part of our new education programme with details being released in the new year."
For more information on the emergency first aid courses on offer at Swindon Town Football In The Community Trust contact the office on 01793421303 or visit www.stfitc.co.uk.

Before Saturday, I was mentally working on a snarky poem entitled "Green Notebooks and Spam." It had such inspiring lines as, "Would you, could you, from the three? Could you, would you, just for me?" and "I do not like touchdowns, Coach Richt; I do not like them, not a bit." But then we actually won the game, and I found myself in the position to write about something that only happens once. Let's face it: Bobo's play-calling will probably will probably still be lousy this time next week, but you only get to celebrate a coach's 100th Bulldog victory once.
At times, I borrowed lines almost directly from the work, but only because Dr. Seuss seemed to know a lot about Bulldog football already. I will, of course, post a link to the original in the first line of my poem so you can read the similarities and changes for yourself. With apologies to Dr. Seuss:
Tonight is your night!
You've carded your hundredth
from Rocky Top's height!
'Twas a Dooley who hired you,
a Dooley you subdued,
and a Dooley who talked on the radio, too.
E'en with the help of the foul-calling crew,
there was only so much that a Dooley could do.
So you reached triple digits
as the coach of the Dawgs-
96 more in Georgia
than the coach of the Hogs.
Your record will grow!
You'll keep winning ballgames!
You'll continue your ascent!
You'll join the great coaches
with great winning percents!
You won't lag behind 'cause you'll have SEC speed.
You'll pass and you'll run and you'll maintain the lead.
On the sideline as coach, you'll be best of the best.
Wherever you play, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don't.
Because, sometimes, you won't.
I'm a Negative Nellie;
I'm sorry, it's true.
Bad play calls
and nay-calls
will happen to you.
You'll plummet from champ
to chump with a bump.
You'll win less and less
in a bonafide slump.
Unslumping a slump
is not easily done.
Doing what's needed
is often unfun.
You will come to a place where you'll have to decide
the best way your offense to lead and to guide.
A place that could cost you much more than you'd fancy.
Do you want to play safe? Do you want to play chancy?
How well can you play against more than a pansy?
And if you should choose to call all your own plays,
how would yours differ from the man's you'd replace?
Would you take a big lead or shut down in the third?
As play-caller-chooser, would you strive or conserve?
Would you go for the kill or merely observe?
If you cannot decide,
the next place you'll face
is that much dreaded space
called the Waiting Place...
For people just waiting.
Waiting for more than three points or so,
waiting for the offense to go.
Or the calls to make sense, or the points to show
or the backs to block, or QB to throw
more than bombs on drive's first go.
That's not for you.
Oh, your record will grow! You'll undo the harm done.
There are points you will score. There are games you'll have won.
The things that your players will do with the ball
will make you the winningest head coach of all.
Fame! They'll honor the ground on which you trod
by naming something after you besides Bobby Dodd.
Except when they don't.
Because sometimes, they won't.
I'm afraid that some fans
will resent when you lose
games you should win-
but you sabotage you.
All alone!
With you the buck stops.
Alone is a constant
when you're up at the top.
But on you will go
though the zebras be foul.
On you will go
though your rivals do prowl.
On you will go
though the haterz wave towels.
Onward to many
a hostile arena,
where enemies scorn you
and howl like hyenas.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will indeed!
(Even when 56 yards you will need!)
Coach, you'll keep winning!
Be you playing the Hat or the Visor, take care.
Beware of Corch Boom and the Armani Bear.
A hundred is great,
but more you can do.
May you win twice that
before you are through.>

Video Page?
Hey all,
So my last project died (read: was killed), and the reincarnation of it, at the request of the powers that be, needs to have some kind of Ted.com like video page.
If course creating a plugin to do this would be wonderful, but I don't have the time or skills. Integration of PHPMotion would be lovely, but it seems that with V3 no one has had any success (or seems to think it's worth while).
So, the solution that seems simplest to me:
Users can already upload videos via the media library or in a post. Is there a way to create a page (template or included code) that will display those videos. I don't need (or really want) the posts, the title would be nice, but whatever. Kind of a site-wide video feed?
Thanks for the continuing awesomeness everyone,
~ Aaron

In a game that saw 13 ties and 14 lead changes, it was Marygrove that came out on top Saturday afternoon, defeating Lourdes 78-70 at the Northwest Activities Center in Detroit, Mich.
Zach Steinmetz (Toledo, Ohio/Saint John's H.S.) tallied a double-double, scoring 24 points and grabbing 13 rebounds, while Eric Worthey (Cleveland, Ohio/Cuyahoga Valley Christian H.S.) added 20 points, making 7-of-11 shots from the floor for the Gray Wolves.
Lourdes shot 46.8% from the floor, but committed 21 turnovers on the afternoon, 13 via Mustang steals.
The Gray Wolves took their largest lead of the game with 7:07 to play in the first half, 29-21, before Marygrove answered with eight straight points to tie the game. The two schools went into the locker room tied at 35.
Neither team led by more than four over the first eight minutes of the second half before the Mustangs pushed the lead to five, 56-51, at the 11:15 mark following a 6-0 run. Lourdes cut the deficit down to one several times down the stretch, but was never able to take the lead again. Two free throws by Worthey tied the contest at 67 with 1:51 to play, but the Mustangs scored the next five points to take the lead for good, and made six free throws in the final 30 seconds of the contest to secure the win.
DeVonte Pryor led five Marygrove (3-23, 2-16 WHAC) players in double figures, scoring 18 points off of the bench. Darryll Dixon added 17 points in the win while JuJuan Armstrong tallied 12 points and a team-high seven rebounds.
Lourdes (14-12, 9-9) will look to snap its two-game losing skid on Wednesday afternoon, hosting Northwestern Ohio at Tam-o-Shanter. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m.

Pound Ridge Golf Club is the most polarizing course in the region, I know, and this kind of attention drives the conversation. A list of U.S. Open-worthy public courses in this month's GOLF Magazine leads off with the pricey and difficult Pete and Perry Dye design.
I like that it's a break from tradition. I missed the fescue when it was cut down last season. I know the reps from Titleist love the place.
The reason given for why the course will never host an Open is too much competition from Winged Foot, Bethpage and Shinnecock, which makes a lot of sense. You also have to consider there's no room for spectators and no room for more than a couple of cars on the road in.
If you want to see the list, click here to go to the magazine's site.

3:00 am phone call
An alternate script for Hillary Clinton's famous 3:00 am ad relating to this Athletics-Angels marathon game:
It's 3:00 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. But there is a phone in the White House and it's ringing. Something's happening in the world, specifically Oakland. Your vote will decide who answers that call. Whether it's someone who already knows the bullpen strength of the Athletics, knows the pinch hitters of the Angels, someone tested and ready to lead in a second round of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." It's 3:00 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?

Dropping the Call: Communication disintegration in NYC
By Mary Rose Roberts
The Metropolitan Transit Authority, or MTA, of New York doesn't want to talk about its $140 million radio communications system that is bogged down by so much interference that New York City transit police refuse to use it.
"We're not going to comment until the police tell us it's fixed," an MTA spokesperson said.

Butch Jones is considering an offer to become the next coach of the Kentucky Wildcats, as Kyle Tucker of the Courier-Journal reports that discussions between the current coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats and the school are ongoing.
Jones has been in charge for a 7-3 season and had the Bearcats in line for a share of a second-consecutive Big East Championship after starting the year 5-0. Tucker reports that the job has been offered to Jones, but he has not accepted or declined the offer yet. Both teams still have work to do this season, with Jones' Cincinnati squad still having two games and a potential bowl, while Joker Phillips remains in charge for one more game at Kentucky.
The 44-year-old Jones is 48-27 between Central Michigan and Cincinnati. He would be the third-consecutive coach to leave Cincinnati after a successful season but before a bowl: In 2004, Mark Dantonio left for Michigan State after a 7-5 season but before the team's International Bowl, which was eventually coached by Brian Kelly. Kelly later left Cincinnati after a 12-0 regular season in 2009, allowing Jones to take the Bearcats' job.

I started today on "Lion". I am happy with the progress, my hand hurts from having to texturizing close to every piece of paper so far. I did also choose all my colors – I want the colors and the subject to scream "POWER".

Hello everyone! My name is Billy Brost and I recently just signed up for the Mile High Report. I am highly excited not only to be reading everyone's great content through the site, but to be able to add my two cents as well. A little about me...I have been a Broncos fan since Elway became the quarterback. The first bet I ever made was on the Broncos/Redskins Super Bowl, which turned out badly for me, which by the way, I was 11 years old!
My greatest disappointment as a Broncos' fan was watching Jacksonville come into Mile High and upset what should've been the first of the three-peat Super Bowl run. I was in the Army at the time, stationed down the road at Fort Carson, CO. I was so upset over the loss, I took a week of leave, and didn't leave my home. Shades drawn, fridge stocked with beer. I think I lived on beer and homemade nachos for a week solid.
That led to my greatest memories: the back-to-back Super Bowl runs. I knew that either one of these games could be Elway's last, and I wasn't going to miss them for the world. So to San Diego I went to watch the upset of a lifetime, and then on to Tampa the following year to watch Elway's masterpiece.
It has been tough since he retired, and this past season brought back memories of the Jacksonville game. I told my wife just before the half, the story of my Jacksonville depression fit. Of course the game played out the way it did, and I was sick all over. I was irritated, irrational, and angry. To watch Baltimore win that Super Bowl was as disgusting to me as it was watching Green Bay whip up on New England a decade and a half ago. In the back of my mind, I am thinking, "Denver will make the moves to take the next step. We are playing on limited time with Peyton." Hopefully I am right. I am willing to live with another decade of mediocrity if it means winning another back-to-back set of Super Bowls. It's amazing how willing we are to sell our souls for just one more taste of glory. It's been far too long in Denver-still and always will be a football-first city.
Thanks again for welcoming me into your community, and I hope we can get to know one another and enjoy what should be a pretty magical run over the next couple of seasons!

What is it?
This is the most affordable brand new SUV in the UK – the Dacia Duster. It's not quite the least expensive version, since the one we're testing has four-wheel drive, but it's still a big hunk of car that's presently priced at just £10,995.
Straight away we might as well tell you this is pretty damn good value for money.
With pricing like this – and the entry-level front-wheel Duster clocks in at £8,995 – Dacia is already making a splash in the UK car buying market. But in case the name isn't familiar, the brand is Romanian in origin.
Not to fret, though; Dacia is also firmly part of the Renault family these days, and you'll find its cars – which also include the very cheapest new wheels in the UK, the sub-£6,000 Sandero supermini – being sold out of Renault dealerships.
Access specification means it's only available in white, there's no factory-fit stereo, and you can't even have air conditioning as an option
So, if you're looking for no-nonsense but highly capable multipurpose transportation, step this way…
Where does it fit?
While this particular Duster isn't the most basic version on sale, it is finished in the most basic trim level and fitted with the most basic engine.
The Access specification means it's only available in white, there's no factory-fit stereo (though Dacia does include the necessary wiring), and you can't even have air conditioning as an option.
Access is also the only choice if you prefer petrol to diesel. The 1.6-litre unit fitted here might lack sophistication by modern standards, but this ought to bode reasonably well for reliability, and refinement is definitely acceptable.
The alternative 1.5-litre dCi turbodiesel costs at least another £2,500 if you want four-wheel drive, though it also offers more power (110hp), more torque (177lb ft), the promise of better fuel economy and a bump in standard equipment.
Is it for you?
Chances are, anyone looking at this is probably more attracted by the thought of an £11k SUV than the prospect of fancier fitted kit and a choice of paint colours. The Duster is, first and foremost, a functional vehicle – a means to an end.
In this case, that end includes a commanding view of the road ahead, chunky – even imposing – styling, and the prospect of good traction when the going gets a little more challenging. And in that respect there are no new rivals to the Duster at this price point.
Even the much smaller Suzuki Jimny costs more. Which scarcely seems credible.
The driving position makes you feel secure, and the Duster's visual presence ensures other road users treat you with respect
So if you're looking for alternatives you'll be forced to shop used. And while that opens up an extremely broad spectrum of opportunity, for some people a second hand vehicle just won't do – and we're guessing this group includes you.
What does it do well?
The Dacia Duster is an extremely honest vehicle. It promises exactly what it is able to deliver – so while the driving experience may be a little rustic and the interior equipment sparse, this is absolutely in line with the amount it costs. No more, no less.
That's far from saying the cabin is low rent or shoddy. It actually feels very well put together, a car that's built to endure a bit of rough handling even if the trade-off is a comparative lack of soft-touch surfaces. Really, for £11,000 you couldn't ask for better.
The driving position makes you feel secure, and the Duster's visual presence ensures other road users treat you with not just respect but due care and attention.
Combine this with the limited investment demanded by the price, and the Duster represents almost the perfect vehicle for hacking around the narrow lanes of genuinely rural areas. Especially if you're a driver of more nervous disposition, fed up with being bullied by other 4x4 owners.
What doesn't it do well?
The Duster's driving experience is absolutely not awful. However, it is a reminder that there has been a considerable amount of progress in this regard over the last few years.
With hydraulically rather than electrically assisted steering, there's plenty of road chatter transferred from the surface to your fingertips, which can make it feel rather busy. The steering isn't especially direct either – but that's probably no bad thing, given the Duster's dimensions.
The ride quality is similarly organic – it doesn't smooth out the lumps and bumps as well as more expensive alternative machinery, yet it's hardly end of the world uncomfortable as a result. There isn't even excessive body roll, and when it does lean round the corners it remains well controlled.
The four-wheel drive system is Nissan technology - the Duster should prove dependable
However, one area where Dacia may represent a compromise too far is safety. The Duster has a limited (by 2013 standards) three Euro NCAP stars, you only get four airbags and stability control is notable by its total absence. As with the air-con, it's not even optional on Access models.
What is it like to live with?
By far the most noticeably unusual thing about the Duster's driving experience is the gearing. You get a six-speed gearbox on the 4x4 petrol (compared to just the five cogs in the front-wheel drive version), and the ratios are so closely stacked that you'll swiftly learn you can skip every other gear when driving normally.
This effectively turns the Duster into a three-speed car – you can pull away quite easily in second – and as you can imagine, this might become a little tiring on the motorway. But the close gearing should prove genuinely useful if you plan to venture off-road, and it's not hard to adapt the rest of the time.
The four-wheel drive system itself is proven Nissan technology, and as a car designed to cope with far more taxing driving environments than the UK – think Russia and Brazil, where the roads are often more 'off' than 'on' – the Duster should be dependable.
You can always buy an extended five- or seven-year warranty if you're really worried; these are reasonably priced at £395 and £850, respectively, and protect your budget investment up to 60,000 or 100,000 miles.
For what is a big car in terms of road space, the Duster isn't especially commodious inside, particularly in the rear. This is partly due Dacia's shared platform policy – all of its cars are based on the same underlying structure for improved economy of scale and reduced costs.
How green is it?
You can't have everything, right? So no surprise this chunky, four-wheel drive, petrol-powered vehicle isn't the greenest choice under the sun. CO2 emissions are rated at 185g/km – that's 20g/km more than the two-wheel drive variant – while claimed fuel economy is just 35.3mpg.
For the sake of comparison, we might as well tell you the diesel 4x4 offers 137g/km and 53.3mpg. As a result the petrol costs £220 a year to tax, the diesel just £125.
Would we buy it?
There is no question in our mind that the Duster deserves every success. It's a unique proposition, but it doesn't rely on this to make sense – it simply offers everything it needs to in order to deliver genuine satisfaction.
In this respect, the Access specification petrol is perhaps most faithful to the concept. If you're never going to venture off-road, then the front-wheel drive version takes this further still – but for us, having that additional capability underlines the sheer audacity of this remarkable offering.

The 2014 NFL league year kicks off on March 11, and that also means free agency gets going. The NFL and NFLPA have been reconciling their revenue in order to figure out the 2014 NFL salary cap, and reports indicate the number will be official and announced by Monday, and possibly as soon as Friday. Pro Football Talk is reporting the number is going to settle in at around $133 million. That is a $10 million increase from last season.
Speculation has had projections ranging from $126.3 million to $133 million. We are still dealing with projections from anonymous sources, but I would hope that with so many people projecting a sizable increase we won't get bamboozled with a lower number.
Albert Breer tweeted that this number does not reflect the recent CBS purchase of half the Thursday Night Football slate. Instead, that money along with money from the rest of the new TV deals will reflect in next year's salary cap. That should mean another solid increase. This kind of increase benefits everybody involved. It gives teams more money to spend, which potentially means bigger deals for free agents. Additionally, players that were on the bubble of getting cut for cap savings might find themselves spared.
Carlos Rogers remains the most notable member of the 49ers on the salary cap chopping block. With this increase in cap space getting the 49ers up over $12 million or $13 million in cap space, it makes for an interesting decision between the two sides. If the 49ers ask Rogers to take a pay cut, does he refuse and force their hand. That will depend on how he views the market for cornerbacks. If he thinks he can get an early decent-size deal, he might force the 49ers to cut him.
Matt Maiocco reported the 49ers would potentially ask Rogers to take over a 50 percent cut in pay. The 49ers have some time to figure out Rogers' situation. They can designate him a June 1 cut because they have the cap room to wait on it. They have the cap space to sign free agents and their draft class. They eventually want to get an extension for Colin Kaepernick, but that will take some time, and they don't need that extra space right this minute. This could be a bit of a slow play sorting through the Carlos Rogers contract situation.

Ricardo Torres Marquez gets 24 years in prison for molesting child
PHOENIX - A man who pleaded guilty to sexual conduct with a child was sentenced Friday to 24 years in prison.
Ricardo Torres Marquez also faces lifetime probation after his release.
Phoenix police said in November 2011 that Marquez got into an apartment near 75th Avenue and McDowell Road through a window and molested a young girl before trying to carry her out the front door.
Family members woke up and the girl's parents and grandmother were able to hold on to Marquez until police could arrive.
He pleaded guilty to sexual conduct with a minor and two counts of attempt to commit molestation of a child.
Police said there were several siblings in the same room as the victim but it was not believed they were molested by Marquez.
The family said they did not know the suspect.

Innovative solution to the problem of destructive elephants
While the revival of elephants in Kenya has been a huge success for conservationists, it has come at the expense of farmers and villagers who live near the sometimes dangerous pachyderms. Some clever thinking may end up saving everyone some grief. Elephants, like humans, are afraid of bees. Farmers that experimented with fences made of bee hives - instead of traditional thorn bush fences - and found them to be much more effective. And as an added bonus, Kenyan farmers may now benefit from selling honey.

U.S. Military Must Prepare for China's Rise... and Fall
Steven Metz, World Politics Review
The Associated Press
For this week at least, Russia's revived aggression is dominating the news in the United States. Once the furor subsides, the conflict with al-Qaida will likely regain most of the attention from the media and national security experts. But in the long term, these issues pale in importance to the challenge of China's rising power, however much it may have faded into the background today.

MARSHALL, Minn. – The Southwest Minnesota State University football team will continue its 2013 season for one more game as SMSU accepted a bid today to play in the 48th Mineral Water Bowl on Dec. 7 in Excelsior Springs, Mo. SMSU will face Pittsburg State (Kan.) from the Mid-American Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) with kickoff slated for 12 p.m. at Tiger Stadium.
It's the first-ever bowl appearance for SMSU and just the third postseason game in the program's 46-year history. SMSU lost its previous two postseason games, 49-7 at home to Mesa State (Colo.) in the first round of the 1987 NAIA playoffs and 35-6 at Carson-Newman (Tenn.) in the first round of the 1990 NAIA playoffs.
"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to play one more football game in 2013," said Cory Sauter SMSU head football coach. "It is a great reward for all the hard work that our players have invested in this season. We were able to finish strong with four straight wins to put us in position for postseason play."
SMSU finished the regular season 7-4 overall, tying for the third highest win total in program history and highest since moving to NCAA Division II in 1995. The Mustangs closed the regular season winning its final four games - its longest winning streak since 1999.
Pittsburg State, ranked No. 9 in this week's AFCA Top 25 poll, is 9-2 on the season and coming off a 35-21 home loss to Missouri Southern on Saturday, knocking them from a possible berth in the NCAA playoffs. The Gorillas were ranked No. 5 in last week's NCAA region rankings. PSU is the most successful program in Division II history having racked up a record of 672-331-48 in 105 seasons of football. PSU won the national championship in 2011 and 1991. The Gorillas were national runners-up in 1992, 1995 and 2004.
The NSIC started playing in the bowl game in 2000, with NSIC teams recording a 4-9 all-time record in the game. The NSIC has won the last two games, with Minnesota State defeating Northeastern State (Okla.) 28-14 in 2011 and Winona State beating Lindenwood (Mo.) 41-21 last season.

GT talks about teenage pin-ups and vintage sports shorts with the Spanish makers of fashion's latest "not gay" magazine
Hot boy blog and (highly addictive) Facebook queen Vanity Teen is finally launching as a proper bonified print issue. Stuffed with tanned syrupy twinks in shoulder pads and tender loins poking out of small elasticated shorts a-go-go, we decided to get in touch and find out what's going on.
We got more than it expected when their team shared some very hot photos of the editor's favourite models with us. In the meantime, take a look at this new promo video showing the making of the first Vanity Teen print issue, and beneath that have a read of our interview with the Vanity Teen editor-in-chief, a mysterious Spanish gentleman who goes by the moniker of just "Sbastien".
How did Vanity Teen start? I want to spend all day with hot boys too!
It began as a collaboration with the designer Miguel Saburido. We've been photographing and scouting new faces in fashion for years now and we decided to make an online magazine, it's been really popular and so we're branching out into print with a launch party planned in New York.
Vanity Teen clearly has favourite boys like Francisco Lachowski and River Viiperi. One boy you shoot a lot is simply called Chico. Who is he?
Chico is a talented guy and a cool person! He was the protagonist of our ninth online issue. River Viiperi is the best male model in Spain right now. There are many new faces but they need time to become stable and successful like River. He has style and knows how to market himself.
How do you cast models?
I do all the scouting myself, I have agencies in Barcelona informed on what kind of boys I want, so when they get new faces they tell me.
Recently you asked boys to submit their own photos on Facebook, did you find anything good?
Yes, we found a lot of younger talent. We discovered Dario Castillo, a fashion photographer from NYC, and we set up a concept with him and executed it. He is very talented and seventeen.
Do you like your models to be gay?
Body image and beauty don't have a sexual preference
And what do you think about gay marriage?
Each person has their form of finding a way to live, either straight or gay. There is an age for everything. The experimental stage is always fun when you're in your youth but once you find somebody to spend your life with it is satisfying.
Do you fall in love with your models?
I fall in love with their looks during the shoots, yes.
Would you ever shoot porn or are boys more beautiful with their clothes on?
I've considered doing nudes before but many people would consider it pornographic. We have to keep Vanity Teen's audience comfortable, so I guess it's a no. It's a very touchy subject.
Do you have a favourite film director?
I love Gus Van Sant, Harmony Korine, and Larry Clark. My favourite films would have to be the ones I can relate to, adolescent style and problems a teen goes through.
Which country would you say has the hottest boys?
Brazil has a lot of new promising faces. Can I give a shout out to "Made in Brazil" who are showcasing the hottest models out there? There are hot boys everywhere though. There's beauty all over the world!
We'll have to check out "Made In Brazil". Where is your favourite holiday destination?
NYC - where all the hot boys are.
Have you been to London before?
I've been to London on vacation and I went to see the Andy Warhol exhibition at the Tate. I love Warhol.
What is your favourite item of clothing?
I love vintage basketball and soccer shorts.
Are you a Madonna fan?
I prefer Michael Jackson.
Of course. And what is your favourite drink?
Thanks Sbastien.

More on the matchup: It's been just over a year since these sides met. Seattle dominated with a 30-20 victory in which Russell Wilson threw three touchdowns and Marshawn Lynch ran for over over 100 yards. The game on Sunday should follow this script. The Vikings are a dangerous and surprising team, but the Seahawks have proven that a strong defense and reliable offense is too much for the majority of the NFL to match. Getting back Harvin is the icing on the cake, and it should put Seattle over the top.
