Insane in the Membrane
My kid's six,
and he's acting out,
what should I do,
to stop his cries and pouts?
I'm unsure,
but I know he's depressed,
doc prescribes Prozac,
sounds crazy, I must confess,
yet I oblige,
since they're the experts,
who am I to question,
clinical trials based on solid research?
Naturopaths disagree,
as do many others,
who say there's something here that seems really fishy,
giving kids drugs for depression, anxiety, and ADD,
popping pills as if they were swallowing candy,
It's insane in the membrane,
that's for sure,
drugs and chemical reactions in a growing brain,
can lead to even more suffering and distressing pain,
Sure there's FDA approval,
for Prozac, an anti-depressant,
but to have young Johnny take it,
don't you think you're being a bit incessant?

Banks making progress on mortgage arrears
New figures, however, show 11% of modified mortgages still making no repayments
About 11 per cent of "permanently modified" mortgages that are in default are "consistently" making no repayment after the terms of the loan have been changed by their financial institution, according to new figures from the Central Bank today. Another 29 per cent were making only partial payments, the study showed.
The figures also show that the percentage of borrowers in its sample that are making full payments on their modified mortgage amount increased to 55 per cent at the end of December 2013 from 28 per cent in the first quarter of 2011.
This data suggest that the process of addressing mortgage arrears is improving.
"However, given that 55 per cent of the stock of permanently modified defaulted loans made a full repayment in December 2013, more needs to be done before the arrears issue is resolved," the Central Bank's paper states.
The figures are published in a letter authored by Anne McGuinness of the Central Bank. It analyses the performance of permanently modified mortgage loans for owner occupiers, of which there were 38,086 in the domestic Irish banks at the end of 2013. It did not deal with buy-to-let mortgages.
The data relates to AIB, Bank of Ireland and Permanent TSB, who accounted for €89.9 billion or two-thirds of the total Irish residential mortgage lending in the fourth quarter of 2013.
McGuinness said the stock of permanently modified loans is growing faster than the stock of loans in default, suggesting that institutions are making progress in addressing the arrears problem.
Separately, there was continued momentum in the mortgage market in June, with the number of mortgages approved up by 41.5 per cent on a year-on-year basis. The value of these mortgages was up by 49.3 per cent on a value basis, reflecting the increase in property prices over the past year.
According to figures from the Irish Banking Federation, a total of 2,268 mortgages were approved per month, on average, in the three months ending June, with an average monthly value of € 406 million, up from €358 million in the previous month, and from €272 million in June 2013.
In volume and value terms, mortgage approvals in Q2 2014 were at their highest level since the series began in January 2011, with the value of mortgages exceeding €400 million for the first time since the series began.
Dermot O'Leary, chief economist with Goodbody Stockbrokers, says mortgage lending, which totalled €2.5 billion in 2013, remains well short of a "normal" level of about €8 billion. However, he forecasts growth of more than 30 per cent this year, "which will go some way towards returning new lending to these normal levels".
Meanwhile, the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI) has published a 10-step housing strategy document that it says will help deal with the supply shortage in Dublin and other urban areas.
The measures include the introduction of a Builders Finance Fund, a reduction on VAT for new home construction, the establishment of a Revolving Infrastructure Fund (RIF) and a reduction in development contributions to local authorities for a period of two years.
The society also believes that the construction of more European-style family friendly apartments and the introduction of a Local Property Tax exemption for people trading down would help to reduce supply pressures.
Only 8,301 new houses were built in Ireland last year while demand is estimated to be of the order of approximately 16,000 a year, with half of those required in Dublin.
Simon Stokes, chairman of the residential group of the SCSI, says that the creation of a RIF could help boost supply.
"RIFs are not grants or subsidies but a smart way of providing financing for developments. Once they've been repaid the money can be reinvested to pay for infrastructure on further projects," he said.

Fine dining tranforms into affordable, casual Peruvian cuisine with Mediterranean influences.
By Sara Liss
The goods: Earlier this year La Cofradia, a classy Coral Gables spot serving Peruvian cuisine, decided to revamp its fine dining digs in light of the sagging economy. They shut the restaurant down for renovations and reopened a few weeks ago with a more affordable, casual approach calling the new space La Cofradia Ceviche Bar. Changes are subtle, but effective. Gone are the starched white tablecloths and in their place dark wood tables and suede chairs to complement soaring cathedral ceilings and arched windows. The redesign includes a new bar with high top tables and bar stools perfect for sipping cocktails while sampling the restaurant's namesake marinated raw fish dishes.
They've also introduced a daily happy hour from 4:30-7:30pm Tuesday to Friday where $5 gets you small plates of ceviches, tiraditos, anticuchos and croquettes while wine, beer and cocktails (including the restaurant's specialty pisco sours) go for $5 to $7 each.
The grub: Modern Peruvian cuisine with Mediterranean influences. There's a renewed emphasis on ceviches and tiraditos but there are also traditional Peruvian dishes like lomo saltado and anticuchos to choose from. Prices have come down a bit to go with the casual atmosphere; ceviches and tiraditos are $13-$15, salads and starters about $12 and mains $17-26.
Lima-born chef Jean Paul Desmaison fuses his Peruvian heritage with Italian influences in dishes like the ricotta tortelloni in huancaina sauce (a traditional Peruvian cheese sauce spiked with yellow chilis) and a shrimp and butternut squash risotto. Start off with a trio of ceviches so you can sample the tuna in oriental sauce, corvina marinated in bright yello aji amarillo and the traditional version of diced corvina, scallops and octopus marinated in "Leche de Tigre," a fiery mix of lime, chili, celery and garlic. Follow that with the restaurant's signature slow braised pork and grapes and shrimp anticucho spiced with black mint. For a hearty main go for the beef tenderloin saltado over the Parmesean cheese risotto or for something lighter opt for the seared tuna with silky butternut squash puree. Desserts include a lucuma mousse, made with the delicately-flavored Peruvian fruit and alfajores, buttery sandwich cookies filled dulce de leche that melt in your mouth.
Verdict: La Cofradia has gone casual with lower prices and a handsome ceviche bar making it a great happy hour or date spot.
La Cofradia Ceviche Bar, 160 Andalusia Ave, (305) 914-1300.

Harinordoquy delights in Biarritz triumph
May 18, 2012
Retiring prop Sylvain Marconnet gets a kiss from his captain Imnaol Harinordoquy as Biarritz celebrate their victory over Toulon © Getty Images
Imanol Harinordoquy was delighted to turn the tables on Jonny Wilkinson as Biarritz edged out Toulon 21-18 to win the Amlin Challenge Cup.
Biarritz were kicked to victory by Dimitri Yachvili, who landed seven penalties in a faultless kicking display as the Basque outfit won their first European title. Wilkinson kept Toulon in touch with five penalty kicks of his own and a trademark drop-goal, which brought the scores level at 18-18 after 66 minutes.
The former England fly-half was in position for a last-gasp drop-goal attempt that would have taken the game into extra-time - but the Toulon pack left him stranded, conceding a penalty on the eighth phase of the attack that confirmed Biarritz's victory.
"Jonny Wilkinson has given a hard time to me in the past and he has done it to Dimitri as well - but tonight it was Dimitri who gave Toulon a difficult time," said Harinordoquy.
Biarritz had to win to qualify for the Heineken Cup for a 13th consecutive season after finishing ninth in the Top 14 in a disappointing domestic campaign. For Yachvili, who tasted bitter defeat with France in the 2011 World Cup final, tonight's victory was extra sweet.
"We have lost two Heineken Cup finals, in 2006 and 2010. This is not the Heineken Cup but it is a title for us," Yachvili said. "It has been a very hard season and that is why we are very happy tonight. We never gave up. They tried to keep the ball for Jonny's drop goal but we defended very well. We deserved to win tonight. It would have been very sad to lose two finals in the same season."
Toulon were reduced to 13 men in the second half after Carl Hayman and Steffon Armitage were sin-binned and captain Joe Van Niekerk rued their discipline. The South African No.8 also regretted how Toulon had wasted their chance of a late drop goal to force extra time.
"Jonny was on song tonight. We had an opportunity there but we went one phase too many and it caused the obstruction," Van Niekerk said. "Overall our discipline let us down. Thirteen against 15, it's an uphill battle. All credit to the boys, they hung in there and showed a lot of heart."
Toulon now turn their attentions to the Top 14 and next weekend's quarter-final against Racing Metro as they chase a first title in 20 years.

The authors of Bare: Psychotherapy Stripped - This week on Carpe Diem
Airing on CARPE DIEM November 17th – 21st, 2014
This week on Carpe Diem, host Krystal Acosta sits down with the authors of a new psychological case study book, Bare: Psychotherapy Stripped. Authors Dr. Jacqueline Simon Gunn and Carlo DeCarlo give a first-hand look at a psychologist and her internal thoughts and reasoning as she sits down with her patients and helps them work through their treatments. No two patients' stories are the same, but she somehow finds a way to connect one to another.
This book breaks down the wall between patient and doctor because the authors include so much of the protagonist's internal struggles and how they are reflected in her own patients' therapy. Whether its love, fear, rejection, abandonment or death, readers will live through the traumas of the patients, as if they were the psychologist.
This episode was produced and hosted by Carpe Diem Series Producer, Krystal Acosta and directed by TVDM major, Weaam Ali.

I missed Luxottica's second quarter earnings release last week, but think there are several interesting nuggets worth noting.
Luxottica CEO Andrea Guerra was pleased with the company's second quarter performance and gave a lot of credit to its Oakley and Ray-Ban brands.
"These results were made possible by Luxottica's well-balanced brand portfolio and especially by the performance of Ray-Ban and Oakley," he said in a press release. "The two brands posted growth in sales in both the sun and optical businesses for the quarter but also for the trailing twelve months, which was the most difficult portion of the global economic downturn."
Guerra also had interesting comments about the economic climate around the world."...

Tigers are riding high expectations
The MU football team's official Fan Day is this afternoon, but that didn't stop one fan from making his appreciation heard during the team's first practice Saturday afternoon.
Missouri's Wehrli inducted into pro Hall
Roger Wehrli praised the timing of his election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame at induction ceremonies Saturday night in Canton, Ohio. He said it allowed his grandchildren to share something special with him.

Alex Rodriguez leaned to his right and watched the ball as it sailed toward the foul pole in left. When it stayed true, he threw up his hands _ the long wait for No. 500 was finally over.
Cardinals can't contain Nationals
Ryan Zimmerman hit two home runs, and Joel Hanrahan added a two-run double in his first major league win as Washington pounded the St. Louis Cardinals 12-1 Saturday night, extending the Nationals' winning streak to a season-best five games.
Line to succeed Bell has formed
After Buddy Bell steps down at the end of the season, who will get the next shot at trying to manage the Kansas City Royals back to respectability?
A 2004 foot injury has hampered the veteran cornerback
It was only a routine interception during 11-on-11 drills, nothing that won't be repeated a hundred times in training camps all over the country. But it gave Ty Law, who has been struggling for three years to regain the form that made him a five-time Pro Bowler, more satisfaction than the pick he returned 47 yards for a touchdown in the Super Bowl.
Rams welcome new punter
The St. Louis Rams needed some stability at the punter position, and Donnie Jones needed a fresh start. Jones signed a five-year free-agent contract with St. Louis in April. He is expected to be the long-term answer to what has been a problem spot for the Rams.
Ejection leaves Cards in bind

Long, strange trip
Dim moonlight lit the banks of the Missouri River as Jeff Barrow left Glasgow, paddling his way through the evening in his long, pointy canoe. The light fog hovering over the water's surface made steering especially difficult, even for the intermediate canoer.
Sprint Center still searching for pro team to lure to K.C.
Kansas City, Terry Nichols says, is ready once again for big-time hockey. As the general manager of a suburban ice-sport and fitness center that draws an estimated 300,000 people annually, many of them hockey players from around the world, Nichols feels uniquely qualified to cast this cowtown and its gleaming new downtown arena as a place where the National Hockey League can thrive.
Gordon boosts Kansas City in hard-to-play game
Ron Gardenhire drives over that bridge to work every day. "Obviously, a baseball game is kind of secondary around here," said the Twins' manager, who was on the Interstate 35W bridge near the Metrodome hours before the bridge collapsed Wednesday.
Rout ends Cards' streak
Ronny Paulino quieted some loud booing with a grand slam during a five-run Pittsburgh first inning, and Tony Armas won as a starter for the first time in more than 10 months to carry the Pirates past St. Louis 15-1 Wednesday night.
Edwards gets everyone's attention
A fan who yelled encouragement at a player for fighting got an earful from Kansas City coach Herm Edwards.
Rams' draft pick off to strong start

One hundred twenty professional cyclists will come to the state in six weeks, and routes for the Tour of Missouri are now set.
Backing Away
Buddy Bell chose family over baseball on Wednesday, resigning as manager of the last-place Kansas City Royals effective at the end of the season.
Few blockbusters, but plenty of movement at trading deadline
Royals unload Dotel, Cards acquire Piniero in baseball moves. Rangers trade away first baseman Teixeira, closer Gagne in separate deals.
Feast and famine, but Royals lose
Carlos Silva usually sleeps until 1 p.m. when he's pitching later that night, but trade-deadline anxiety had him up four hours earlier to turn on the television for updates.

Hey People,
Last week saw my health begin to go up hill once more. I've been trying to get my head around all of this lack of ground in my life. This once again has had me thinking a lot about 'ground' and what that is or means to me?? The wiser part of me knows that 'life' essentially is groundless in nature. The thing is that for centuries we have been working at cementing a ground under ourselves –– to make us feel safer in this groundless world. I've touched on this before. I guess this is the problem that I find myself constantly trying to solve whilst living with this illness.
By groundless I mean that we live in an unpredictable world, one filled with uncertainty. Yet, we are born into a world that teaches us to find a ground for ourselves through structure (school, work, identity, etc). Building a structure on an unstable ground... Hmmm... What a strange thing to do? It's the BIG control issue. The great escape from reality. We like to develop different forms of escapism. We like to try and control things that are basically out of our control. Control our destinies??
This is where I see a lot of positives being born out of this illness. Learning that the control thingy is really just an illusion that we have dropped ourselves into. Or onto should I say; a ground built from illusion! The very nature of this illness is that it is constantly changing– Like the weather. Maybe that's not the best analogy... I'm thinking of the Irish weather, as it is very unpredictable, very changeable and unreliable. Anyway, you know what I mean. We are not in control, our illness is. So I've been trying to embrace this whole issue of not being in control. Living in the moment, not knowing what the next week, hour is going to bring. If I try to live life like this then hopefully I will be able to cope with life in general better; after all we never know what the future holds anyway, even the healthy people. Life is in control of us. So this illness has taught me about the realities of life, its unpredictability and it's groundlessness. And most importantly I'm aware of the illusions we create. Nothing is permanent with ME/CFS. I'm being forced to life with my eyes wide open.
So I have managed to grasp this one and have been aware of all of this for some time now. Life is essentially groundless and I'm living with an illness that doesn't allow me to build a ground of illusion. Great! Life is going to be a breeze, everything is in sync now, right??? No... I've figured out the A and the Z of this problem, but I'm still missing all the letters in between! Being aware of this really helps me when I am really not well. But years of working away at building 'my' structure means that as soon as I am starting to feel well I'm off.... Hi ho, hi ho, la la lala la la... Building away like everyone around me–perfectly conditioned! By this I mean, wanting to achieve something like my course for example. Be part of life like everyone else. Participating… Not feeling left out.
It would appear that I can't escape this 'ground thingy'. I like to participate in life and do all the things that everyone else does. So basically I freak out if I don't have ground under me, structure of some kind.
So where does this leave me and my faithful friend ground?
I can't live with and I can't live without!!
Wowser. I'm wrecked after that. Wish I could have been a bit more coherent.
Hope you're all keeping well...
Treya : )

"We made these mice so that we can turn the genes on and off as we want," Washbourne said. "Using an antibiotic, doxycycline, it turns off these altered genes that we inserted into their chromosomes. While on doxycycline, the mice are absolutely normal."
However, if the inserted gene was turned off after the completion of development, mice still showed altered synapses and behavior. This result suggests that any kind of gene therapy may have to be applied to individuals with autism early on.
Effects seen in the social behavior of mice with the mutated gene, he said, are not unlike observations reported by parents of many autistic children. While normal mice prefer to engage with new mice entering their world rather than familiar others, or even a new inanimate object, these mice split their time equally. "It's not a deficit in memory regarding which mouse is which, it's more a weighting of their interaction. Does that mean they are autistic? I don't know, but if you talk to parents of autistic children, one of the frustrating things they report is that their children treat complete strangers in exactly the same way that they treat them."
While the findings provide new insights, Washbourne said, any translation into treatment could be decades away. "A problem with autism is there are many different genes potentially involved. It could be that some day, if you are diagnosed with autism, a mouth swab might allow for the identification of the exact gene that is mutated and allow for targeted therapy," he said. "Genome sequencing already has turned up subtle mutations in lots of genes. Autism might be like cancer, with hundreds of potential combinations of faulty gene

Your comment is an oasis, in a very emotional and agressive debate. And I think you've hit the point. We should raise our children, ourselves. And not rely on Hollywood's role models. These kinds of analisys, like the one in this talk, are very helpfull, because they allow us to deconstruct the way culture shapes our model for what masculine and female behaviour "ought to be". And those models should be debated and rejected, when they are sexist. But to expect that our pressure will make culture produce an ideal model, and raise our children, is a dangerous thing. And I think that is already a trend, that Hollywood has taken perversely. Many mainstream movies, for instance teenage flicks, show a group of youths that is representative and multicultural, multiethnic, and there is even the overweight one, the dorky one, the sporty one. And those movies are even more filled with preconceptions than the ones that are not "representative". They show a parade of clichés of how everyone is suposed to be represented and behave. I prefer a world where there is no such pressure and the prejudices are out in the open. And, then as a free thinker, I will debate. And I expect that a serious debate will influence society as a whole, not just Hollywood scriptwriters - anyway, they will always find a way to dodge any tacit rule that is created. And as a parent, I will know what my children are suposed to be exposed to, and what values they should be raised with. What I mean by "influencing society as a whole", is that for me it's not enough that the army, for instance, treats women in the same way that men are treated there. In this context, we should be more ambitious and profound. Isn't the need for war and agression a masculine thing? And as we fight for emancipation, and for equal rights, and rethink about what we are as men and women, how we represent masculin and feminin, should this emancipatory struggle not include a serious debate about war and why we have armies?

Comments & conversations
I discovered this talk, through a post discussing Fair Use, as it applies according to this: http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html And, though I do believe that we reached a point that makes a lot of people dismiss authorship, even to the point that the sharer becomes perversely more important than the author, this example of the Sony song is creepy. This makes me think of the movie "The Truman Show". It seems that we are coming to a point where everything is susceptible to product placement. And indeed what happened in this case seems to me more like product placement than a case of copyright. It's a creepy Orwellian world, or more specifically a Truman Show like world, where everyone is performing. Everyone is sharing their content, their own lives, in Facebook and Youtube, even giving up the rights and the ownership to that content (their own lives and memories), and companies are profiting from that content. Like in The Truman Show, through product placement. Pretty soon (already, maybe?), Nike and Coca Cola will profit because someone shared a photo or a video drinking a soda or running with brand shoes. And the content will not even belong to the people performing (acting in their own lives), but to Facebook. This was what the example given sugested to me, in a creepy, twisted way. And, sadly, there is little room, too, for Fair Use, but that is another debate.

The Vanishing 1988
That ending, tho.
Under the Cherry Moon 1986
Not a good movie, really, but fascinating in Prince canon for reasons I'm hoping to write about for someone.
Nightbreed 1990
David Cronenberg as a serial killer psychiatrist. Man, some people just can't beat typecasting. Oh, also, this is a two-hour long Cantina scene, and if you're wondering if that gets old, yes it does.
The Beyond 1981
Some great effects and gross-out tricks, but I can't help feeling that if this is Fulci's best then I don't need to spend that much time exploring him.
Love and Death 1975
One of the few Woody Allen films to fully reconcile his sardonic wit with his overriding desire to be seen as a smart, serious person, actively mocking his own literary pretensions before they took over his films.
Rebels of the Neon God 1992
Not yet the work of one of the supreme modernist poets, but if Tsai had continued down this stylistic path I still think he'd have been a damn fine director fusing Hou's historical present and Wong Kar-wai's brimming youth passion.
The New York Ripper 1982
Ghastly but inadvertently hilarious. Most enjoyable as a feverd, no-fi take on Howard the Duck.
Evangelion: 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone 2007
Don't really get the point of this? NGE is already a masterpiece; souping up the animation just seems a vanity project. But the material's still great, so.

"Adorable card! Perfect for my son's Halloween themed 7th birthday party! Quality work! Delivery was also speedy! Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"and more! I really appreciated the design team's ability to review my card prior to sending it to print. I had concerns regarding the font size on the front and text that I wanted added to the back. My requests were completed quickly and executed perfectly, despite my need for a rush turn-around! If doing again, I would consider trying the glossy paper just for extra flair, but I have no complaints with the standard paper quality."
"Crayons of Color invite is a beautiful card and the colors just pop! I was pleased with my order. The font was a bit small on the card, but it didn't take away from the invitation. Perfect invite for an Art Birthday Party!"
"This card is even cuter in person than in the pictures. It is definitely one of my favorites, and I have been getting cards here 2-3 times a year for 5 years! :) Thanks to Tiny Prints for being so awesome!!"
"Love love this card. I always order from Tiny Prints - because the quality is always consistent. The card was colorful and bright. It is so fun and girly. We got so many compliments on how much everyone loved the card! You can't go wrong with this style or tiny prints!"

Topics For Next Week's Linux Foundation Summit

Linux Events
Comment On This Article
Next week the Linux Foundation's 6th Annual Collaboration Summit will be taking place in San Francisco. Several interesting topics are set to be discussed at this three-day event.
As someone that's been to the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summits going back to
the original summit
in 2007
at the Googleplex
, I'm looking forward to this latest event and should be quite interesting -- the talks tend to be more technical and worthwhile compared to many other conferences.
Among the items on the 2012 LF Collaboration Summit schedule worth pointing out (and the ones where likely I'll be at) include:
- The Importance of Linux at Intel
- OpenMAMA
- The Linux Kernel: What's Next [Panel]
- Intro to Tizen and Community and Architecture Overview
- Kernel in the Way: Bypass and Offload Technologies
- Introduction to Tizen SDK
- The Decline of the GPL and What To Do About It
- Architecture of a Next-Generation Parallel File System
- Upcoming Technologies: Wayland & oFono
- Dtrace
- LLVM Toolchain - Update and State of Building Linux with LLVM
- UEFI as the Converged Firmware Infrastructure
- Btrfs Filesystem: Status and New Features
- GCC, C++ and Transactional Memory
- The Future of the GNU C Library
- Open Hardware + Open Software - The Perfect Storm For Innovation
one of the Linux Foundation's newest members, NVIDIA Corp
won't be having anyone speaking at the conference... Hopefully they'll send some employees anyhow to the Linux summit.)
For those that were not invited to the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit, there will be a live video stream of the keynotes next Tuesday. For anything really interesting that comes up in any of the sessions, I'll likely write about it on Phoronix or
live via Twitter
Meanwhile, coming up this weekend in Chicago is
the Flourish open-source conference
. Ryan "Icculus" Gordon will be talking about
open-source tools for game development
, but that seems to be about the only interesting presentation taking place. Regardless, I'll be there for Phoronix and
live Twitter

About meAm in my 40s, married, no kids unless you count 2 spoiled cats. Besides reading I'm into hiking, nature, photography, x-country skiing, kayaking, kettlebells and Olympic bars, walking, Paleo eating, Primal living, and my E36 M3. I also have a love of food (bacon!), wine (zin!) and heavy metal (Clutch!). My iPod almost never leaves my side. I used to be into motorcycles, aquariums and iguanas. I may be again in the future, but things ebb and flow.
About my libraryIf you're looking for method or correctness, this is not the library for you. I buy books on a whim, but stick with authors I like until they disappoint me {coughPatriciaCornwellcough}. Some years I buy a lot of books, some years I don't (that whole no money thing sure is a drag, huh?). Sometimes I purge my collection. Once nearly all my books were stolen. I rarely ever give books away.

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 11/18/14
While neither of them will be named "Phil Dawson," the Cleveland Browns may consider carrying two kickers into the 2013 NFL season. ESPN.com's AFC North blogger Jamison Hensley writes that Cleveland may need both veteran Shayne Graham and the little-known Brandon Bogotay to replace the departed Pro Bowler. "It's possible the Browns could use Graham to handle most of the field goals and keep Bogotay for kickoffs and long-range kicks," writes Hensley. "Keeping two kickers is a rarity these days in the NFL, especially since the league moved kickoffs to the 35-yard line in 2011. Last year, only the Buffalo Bills had a kickoff specialist for an extended period and they cut John Potter after six weeks." Graham is the fifth-most accurate kicker in NFL history while Bogotay attempted only three field goals in college, making just one of them. Those who have seen Bogotay in minicamp, however, have been impressed by the youngster's ability to hit field goals from beyond 50 yards. Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski has referred to the two kickers competing in a "back and forth" manner and that the evaluation is ongoing.

Joe Budden - The Future ft. The Game & Dominic
Artist: Joe Budden
Producer: Fyu-chur
Album: Padded Room
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 34 votes )
What does the future hold? So many questions, yet precious few answers. For example, how long will it be until the music industry moves toward a digital-only format? Will hip-hop survive the current economic downturn and prosper in the decade ahead? Though these questions are destined to remain unanswered for the time being, Joe Budden gives listeners a forecast of his next relationship on the first single from the forthcoming Padded Room, which drops February 24. On The Future, Budden and his opposite-coast colleague, The Game, explain why the women in their lives will likely enjoy the time ahead. Shining behind the scenes of this synthesized banger are newcomer Fyu-Chur, whose boardwork mirrors that of his production idols, Timbaland and Polow Da Don, and hook singer Dominic. In keeping with The Game's opening monologue, The Future is a record with the potential to succeed in both the club and the hood - let's wait and see what it has in store.

Hausding retains 3m springboard title – Koltunova with second gold for Russia
Patrick Hausding, the "World Diver of the Year 2010", retained the first of his two 2010 titles in the 3m springboard at the Arena European Diving Championships in Turin, Italy, on Thursday. In a close competition, the German won with 499.40 points ahead of the two Russians, Ilya Zakharov (493.85) and the new 1m European Champion Evgeny Kuznetsov (482.35). After the fifth round Hausding and Zakharov were still joint leaders.
"My first dive could have been a little better. But after everything went well. You simply have to put your best dives at the end", said the German who had gained medals in all five competitions in Budapest 2010. Patrick Hausding also achieved the second quota place for the 2012 Olympic Games in London after Noemi Batki (ITA) had ensured the first one by winning the women's 10m platform on Wednesday.
Kuznetsov snatches title from Kvasha – Italy rejoices
Ukrainian Illya Kvasha's dominance of the 1m springboard event ended on the opening day of the Arena European Diving Championships in Turin, Italy, taking place from March 8-13. The 23-year-old was striving for his fourth successive title since 2008, but Russian Evgeny Kuznetsov snatched the primacy from him. The 20-year-old from Stavropol, who finished fourth in this competition in Budapest last year, received 427.05 points, Kvasha 419.65.
"A medal is not bad, but I'm a bit disappointed as I wanted to win my fourth title in a row. My second and third dives were the problem, when I didn't perform perfectly", commented the defeated champion. Kuznetsov admitted that he was sure of gold before his last dive: "There wasn't much that could go wrong anymore."
Kitajima gears up for Japan Nationals
Japan's swimming hero and breaststroke specialist Kosuke Kitajima is ready for the Japan long-course Nationals and the trials for the Shanghai FINA World Championships to be held at the Tokyo-Tatsumi International Swimming Center from April 5-10.
He is now in the USA and training well for the upcoming important trials. Kitajima did a good job last month on February 26 and 27 at the Japan s/c Nationals. His confidence to swim fast is back. He won all his breaststroke events, clocking 26.68 in the 50m, 57.34 in the 100m, and 2:02.95 in the 200m, setting new national records. In all, six national records, eight high school records and four junior high school records were established at the short-course Nationals.
Christchurch earthquake shakes QEII Stadium's future
New Zealand's iconic QEII Stadium could become another victim of the horrific Christchurch earthquake. Shut since the February 22 quake, which devastated the city and left thousands of people homeless and a third of the central business district's 1500 buildings destroyed or set for demolition, QEII's future is uncertain.
All Christchurch's sporting facilities have been closed and the newly erected Deans Stand at the city's main rugby stadium in also under a cloud. The stadium is slated to host round matches, quarter-finals and a semifinal of this year's Rugby World Cup.
QEII is close to the hearts of FINA folk since its emergence in the early 1970s as the athletics and swimming venue for the 1974 Commonwealth Games.

Pellegrini confident after record-breaking performance
Italy's best swimming clubs were in Ostia (Roma) for the "coppa Brema" on March 5-6. Federica Pellegrini's club, "Aniene", won both team titles (men's and women's), repeating their 2010 double success. The meet was the year's first competitive event for Pellegrini, since the beginning of her French "adventure" with coach Philippe Lucas early February.
On the last day, a lightning illuminated the "coppa Brema"'s final: her name is Federica Pellegrini. The Italian swimming diva, in a brief appearance in Rome (in the same evening, she had returned from the race to Paris to resume training) was able to bring the winning support to her club "Aniene", thus not only reconfirming their 2010 double success, but also overturning Alessia Filippi's domination in the 400m freestyle.
