Entering the double digits doesn't mean an end to toys. Quite the opposite, in fact! Ten-year-olds still love to play and these delightful toys and activities will have them learning fascinating facts, making awesome discoveries and having lots of fun along the way.
By Doug Stillinger
Making paper airplanes doesn't feel like science. And it's not quite art. Near as we can figure, it's magic. Sure, paper airplanes fly because of good, old reliable physics. And it takes a sharp eye and a clean fold to make them right. But launching a regular old piece of paper into the sky so that it soars, loops and glides - that's pure magic. We present here a complete guide to folding aerobatic amazements. The ten airplanes in this book are the best we've ever seen: easy to make, forgiving of mistakes, attractive and flight-ready under all kinds of conditions. Clear instructions and step-by-step illustrations make even the most impressive planes kid do-able, while trimming and tweaking tips give basic principles of flight instant real-world relevance. This big (10" 12") book comes complete with 40 sheets of flight-tested, ready-to-fold paper, printed on both sides in a variety of 20 colourful patterns, including leopard print, wood grain, hot rod flames and lose-it-on-the-lawn-grass. It's everything you need to rule the skies. Comes With: 40 sheets of custom-designed paper.

Democrats must embrace a pro-government platform, not run away from it. Those were the sentiments of Senator Chuck Schumer today, in a speech given at the National Press Club. Talking about the reasons for Democrats' losses on Election Day, Schumer said that those losses were proof that the American people and middle-class want a government that will work more effectively for them.

Clint Eastwood could be taking on the role of director for the Jersey Boys film, according to reports.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker is said to be "in talks" to take the reins of the big-screen adaptation of the hit musical, said The Hollywood Reporter.
Clint - who has directed 32 films including Million Dollar Baby, Invictus and Mystic River - has apparently set his sights on the musical movie after the casting delays surrounding A Star Is Born, which Beyonce was due to star in.
Clint, 82, is expected to begin work on Jersey Boys first.
Iron Man director Jon Favreau had previously been linked to the director's job on the Tony-winning musical, which chronicles the rise of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, and their split.
Clint, who last directed J Edgar starring Leonardo DiCaprio, has won Oscars for his directing, for both Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby.

Don't expect to drink here, because there's no beer or wine. Though there is, kinda. Bihn Mihn Market next door sells both, and they opened the place up for us one night, drawing back the steel gate barricading the doors so I could get a sixer of Tsingtao (Chinese brew). The market and Pho Kim restaurant must have familial links: The beer mysteriously showed up on my check.
Yet you don't have to hit the market. Pho Kim has drinks including "lemon juice," a tall glass of chokingly sweet fluid with a lime wedge, and a coffee concoction of strong brew that you mix with sweet condensed milk in a tall glass of ice.
But these are minor details, very minor. Filling a clean strip-mall divot in a place called Binh Duong Center, Pho Kim Vietnamese restaurant is filled with red vinyl chairs, green marbled Formica tables, and way too much pink. In a tiny, illuminated red nook in the bottom of the service counter sits a squatting Buddha.
10 a.m.-9 p.m.
Saturday & Sunday
9 a.m.-10 p.m.
Pho is a little like Buddha: It invites nourishing contemplation. A Vietnamese beef broth soup, pho is often described as the national dish of Vietnam. And it's a mind-clearing tonic steeped in ritual, a thing often served for breakfast. Pho is an arduous, effortful thing created by simmering meat and bones for roughly eight hours to extract soothing richness. To this are added long rice noodle strands, meat, scallions, and herbs.
There's an associated wimp factor here too. Pho is usually floated with cuts of beef such as brisket, eye of round, flank steak, and meatballs. But you can also add gelatinous and chewy soft tendon, often a piece of knuckle, bible tripe, or a piece of ox stomach. These things purportedly add richness to the soup, allowing, as one writer put it, "a slick of tasty fat, a most desirable sensation."
I wouldn't know. I had my pho with eye of round steak sans guts.
The wide, steaming bowl arrives with a plate piled with knots of bean sprouts, Asian basil, a lime wedge, and tiny slices of green chilies that look like mag wheels. A paper napkin-bound bundle holding chopsticks and a small, ladle-like soup spoon is plopped next to the bowl. The pho fest begins by loading some of the bean sprouts and basil sprigs into the bowl and shooting it with a squeeze of lime. Holding the chopsticks in one hand and the spoon in the other, the sticks are plunged into the soup and used to lift the noodles over the sprouts and leaves to blanch them. Then, you can either pinch a neat little bundle of noodles with the chopsticks into the spoon, or slurp them into your mouth using the chopsticks while holding the spoon under the strands to keep splashes from vandalizing your attire.
Pho Kim's pho ($4.50) is delicious: freshly light and perfumy with tender, separate noodles and chewy sheets of beef. Other soups were nearly as enjoyable. Mi do bien ($4.95), a seafood medley with thick tangles of thin, tender egg noodles, was richened not with tripe or tendon but with little bits of fried pork rind that floated in the broth like sawmill fragments. Rings of scallion and lemongrass cleanly rounded the flavors.
Thick, supple imperial spring rolls ($2.00) were tasty as well, with tender strips of pork and slices of sweet, briny shrimp bandaged to a core of rice, cilantro, lettuce, and carrot by a sheet of rice paper. A dish of thick, rich peanut sauce served as dip.
The rest of the menu barely scaled the pho pedestal. Steamed rice dishes ($4.95-$6.50) featured wads of hard, sticky grains, though one dish with pork chop had thin slices of juicy, savory meat shellacked in a dark, sweet sauce, while a rendition with spicy chicken and lemon grass was succulently delicious. Vermicelli bowls, with a choice of chicken, beef, pork or seafood ($4.50-$7.99), were plagued with wads of noodles clumped over fragments of browning head lettuce mingled with sliced cucumber.
But there's no need to venture beyond pho. The list of combinations is long, and each can be had with tendon and tripe. If you get bored.

I had highly productive and successful time with my lawer Israel W Gobena, during my asylum proesses. He has extraordinary ability towards customer handling. He is highly knowlgeable, resourceful, proactive professional with exceptional customer services, I would like to express heart felt thank for his professional services and hard work to satisfy clients.
Thank you
Guta A, Eticha
Israel has been very helpful on my immigration case. He is very supportive, compassionate and also reliable guy. He performed my case responsibly. I recommend Israel as he is well experienced.
I have known Israel Wondimu Gobena for over 10 years as an Attorney and as an active and respected member of the community. I had hired him personally in 2008 for an auto accident case involving another car, in which I had medium injury and total loss of my car. Israel Wondimu Gobena( Gobena & Associates, Attorney) have been very professional during my first visit, documented how and when the accident took place, asked relevant questions, and explained clearly the course and procedures going forward before I signed a service agreement with him. After compiling all the necessary information, and after several months of deliberation, he was able to prove that the other driver involved in the accident was the one that caused the accident, and I was awarded with commensurate renumeration for the personal injury and for the replacement of my car. During this time, Israel Wondimu Gobena returned my phone calls, received me in his office on short notice, and courteously responded with very satisfying clarity.
In 2011 - 2012, as the executive director of the Oromo Community of Minnesota(OCM), we hired Israel Wondimu Gobena( Gobena & Associates) to help resolve a Civil Litigation case in which the OCM and its Executive Director (myself) were wrongly accused. This Case was also successfully resolved in the middle of 2012, and the OCM is cleared of the charge. Again, Israel Wondimu Gobena has been very professional and courteous, very knowledgeable. He always kept us up to date on the status of the case.
In addition, over several years, I have made referrals to Israel Wondimu Gobena ( Gobena & Associates) many clients in the community be it case involving, Immigration, Insurance, Family disputes, and others. In all these instances, I have heard from many clients who testified that they are very satisfied at his professionalism, undersatnading , and support they have been provided, and that their cases were in excellent hands. Israel Wondimu Gobena is also a multi- cultural/multi- lingual attorney with extensive judicial/legal background in Ethiopia, and is well respected by clients as well as community members.
Thank you for the opportunity to evaluate him.
He knows what he does on car accident injuries. He got me a good settlement.
My experience with Israel is fantastic.He is a very humble and decent person. Israel is compassionate and a person of God. He is and will be ready to help others. I highly recomend everybody if he/she looking a person of integrity.
This lawyer is a great guy; he handled my immigration case and I was granted Asylum within 3 months. He is understanding, compassionate, and passionate. He knows what he is doing specifically in immigration and I recommend him to anybody who has an immigration case.
I am a new current client of this attorney. My experience with him so far, is that he is a very humble person. He is very compassionate person - to help others.

Outpouring of Support Saves Arizona Church
QUARTZSITE, Ariz. — A small Arizona church that helps the homeless will now be able to remain open after receiving more than $68,000 in donations to cover an illegal tax bill it was required to pay by June 15 to avoid foreclosure. La Paz County required the church to pay the tax even though both state law and the Arizona Department of Revenue say the church isn't liable.
Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys represent Church of the Isaiah 58 Project of Arizona in a lawsuit over the taxes, but because state courts have been unwilling to defer payment of the back-taxes until the completion of litigation, the congregation faced foreclosure. Supporters of the church, which operates on a shoestring budget of only $50,000 per year, contributed enough to pay the tax bill, allowing the church to stay open and continue its lawsuit.
"After an outpouring of support from Christians across the country, this church won't have to shut its doors and discontinue its crucial ministry," said ADF Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley. "Now we can move forward and challenge the unjust actions of one county official who has illegally impeded the church's efforts to help the least fortunate in a struggling community."
Under state law, the church qualified for an exemption from property taxes and filed the appropriate paperwork with the La Paz County property assessor. The assessor sat on the paperwork for three years before granting a tax exemption and then only granted it for the years 2009 and later, leaving the church with back taxes for 2007-2008 that it should not owe.
A September 2013 decision from the Arizona Court of Appeals in Church of the Isaiah 58 Project of Arizona v. La Paz County upheld an earlier Tax Court ruling that said the church had to pay the tax bill before challenging it as illegal. ADF attorneys have argued, however, that state law does not require the church to do so when it is challenging an illegally assessed tax so high that the congregation can't pay the bill and ask for a refund later.
The Arizona Supreme Court recently declined to hear an appeal, leaving the church with no choice but to raise enough money to pay the illegal tax bill to stay open, continue its lawsuit, and then seek a refund of the bill if it prevails.

Prager and Zacharias in Peoria June 5th!
What is tolerance? Has tolerance come to mean moral apathy in today's society? How can one effectively engage different worldviews and help build a society based on mutual respect rather than double standards? What are the implications for religious freedom?
On Thursday, June 5th at 7:15 PM – at Christ's Church of the Valley in Peoria, AZ – Christian author and apologist Ravi Zacharias will appear on stage with Jewish broadcaster Dennis Prager to engage in a meaningful conversation about the broken moral compass that guides our national conversations about faith, freedom and the cultural issues that divide.
We live in trying times. Those of us who take belief in the God of the Bible seriously feel burdened by the problems that arise in our increasingly secular society. People are abandoning truth, Western culture is failing, and the lines between right and wrong are becoming irrevocably blurred.
The goal of this event is to allow two prominent voices in the public square – one Jewish (Prager), and one evangelical Christian (Ravi) – to engage in an open, honest and entertaining dialogue about these challenges we face as a nation and civilization. This is about asking and answering tough questions in a God-honoring and purposeful way.
Our moderator for the evening's conversation will be best-selling author and lawyer, David Limbaugh.
Christ's Church of the Valley and Pastor Mark Moore are our hosts for #RaviPrager, and Pastor Moore will facilitate a Q & A time between the audience and our speakers to close out the evening.
Tickets are $20 for General Admission seating, and $100 for VIP Reserved seating (and admittance to a catered pre-show VIP reception with Ravi, Dennis and David starting at 6:00 pm).
Gov. Brewer Takes another Whack at Religious Freedom
We told you earlier this year that religious freedom is more at risk today under Governor Jan Brewer than it ever was under former Gov. Napolitano. Under pressure from far Left extremists several weeks ago, she vetoed an amendment which would have protected religious freedom in Arizona. And now further proof:
Brewer vetoed a bill that would have equal treatment for churches with regard to property taxes.
HB 2281 was supported by Republicans and Democrats. The Arizona Constitution exempts churches from paying property taxes. But churches that rent facilities for their worship services don't enjoy the same exemption. HB 2281 would have remedied that.
Governor Brewer sided with atheists in opposing this bill.
How sad. How disappointed we are in this governor.
Be Careful what You Wish for, Homosexual Activists
That crowing you hear is from the homosexual pressure groups, jubilant from their semi-capture of the Boy Scouts of America. BSA announced today that boys struggling from same-sex attraction can join scouting troops, but self-identifying homosexual adults cannot lead Boy Scout troops.
The homosexual activists have been out to conquer the Boy Scouts for decades. They're halfway there now. But God has a way of taking of what some intend for evil and turning it around for good.
Here's what I mean. In whose company would boys with sexual confusion most benefit?
From the Gay-Straight Alliance in their public schools? It's a politically pressure group working from within to whip public schools into compliance with homosexual activist demands.
Or in the presence of Christian scout leaders teaching moral codes?
Same-sex attraction is extremely rare in the U.S. Only about 2 percent of the population struggles with same-sex attraction. Most Boy Scout troops probably won't have anyone with same-sex attraction involved. There are thousands of small towns in America where boys are well-bonded with their own gender and don't have these unfortunate struggles. So for many troops, this will be a non-issue.
Perhaps in girly-man towns like San Francisco, some troops will be entirely made up of boys with same-sex attraction. But that will be the exception to the norm.
Men and boys with healthy male identities can provide healthy role modeling for boys who are confused. And in today's climate of moral relativism, a weekly dose of Judeo-Christian morality will be extremely valuable to boys who are struggling. And in fact, therapists who work with males going through these struggles encourage them to engage in activities with males in order to develop healthy male bonding.
Now this isn't to say that there won't be some problems, and that condemnation of the BSA's foolish decision today isn't justified. The Left is falling back on its tired and worn-out clichés again today.
Chris Wallace, of Fox News, was on the Mike Gallagher Show today, making trite, senseless, typical leftist points (remember, he is the son of Mike Wallace):
- "Times have changed." So what. Morality has not changed, Chris.
- "Laws used to prevent inter-racial marriage." That was about race, not gender, Chris. This argument has never worked for the Left.
- "They aren't going to jump 'em in the tent!"
Oh, no, Chris? There are going to be 17-year-old boys with same-sex attraction taking advantage of younger boys on camping trips. And that's where the threat lies. These boys should not be allowed to have a free run at younger, vulnerable boys. The supervision now must be on red alert. Remember, many homosexuals were tragically molested/raped as youngsters, and they learned unhealthy sexuality as a result. What better opportunity for an older homosexual boy to take advantage of younger boys on a night in the woods? It's the same tempation faced by many pedophiles working at Disney Land, and by many priests with access to young boys.
But the new rules being what they are … all you boys with unwanted same-sex attraction desiring a scouting life … be sure to bring your Bible to next week's meeting. You'll learn a lot about how to be morally straight and about God's plan for male-female marriage. Take notes; it will do you good. And be sure to drop your membership in the GSA at your local school; it does NOT have your best interests in mind. God bless you.
A Misplaced Celebration
Two marginal professional athletes – both without a team to call home — dominated the nation's news cycle today – and for radically different reasons. Both were first-round draft picks in their respective leagues.
Athlete A
A young pro struggling to get his career going was released today. He'd been given one chance to shine in his brief pro career, and he enjoyed spectacular success. But after being traded to another team, he mostly rode the bench last fall, before his release today.
He spent much of his early life sacrificially working with his family to help better the lives of poverty-stricken people in Africa. In a time devoid of heroes, he's a role model for young men. And he's destined to become a great husband, father, and mentor. He's already in demand as a religious and motivational speaker in the Christian community. Yet he's been scorned and attacked by fascists and the Left-stream media for his faith. The sheep in the Left-stream media's echo chamber repeatedly say he's the most polarizing athlete in America.
He lives a clean and healthy lifestyle, but people complain he's "too Christian." Recently he's been working out at a feverish pace in MaricopaCounty to fine-tune his game. He is hoping to sign on with another team and prove he belongs in the National Football League. His coaches marvel at his integrity, his work ethic and how much he has improved his skills and fundamentals in the past three months.
No one of note praised him today.
Athlete B
This aging journeyman center has bounced around the NBA for a dozen years. He has had low visibility from his seat on the bench of six pro teams, and he has not been recognized for anything of note in his communities. Averaging just 3.6 points per game in his career, he has not registered on anyone's radar. Until today — for something that has nothing to do with his profession.
He has a personality disorder of a type that is often caused by neglect or, at worst, traumatic experiences including abuse. But current and former presidents and the commissioners of the National Basketball Association and the National Football League are tripping over each other to congratulate him. Along with former coaches. They're hoping many more of their athletes will go through whatever it is he's been through – and often times it isn't something you'd wish on anyone – so they can gush how wonderful it is.
"We are proud he has assumed the leadership mantle on this very important issue," said NBA Commissioner David Stern. A former president, the scandal-ridden Bill Clinton, said the "announcement today is an important moment for professional sports." One of this journeyman center's former coaches, who just traded him away, said he is "extremely happy and proud" of this player, whose career is nearing its end. "I am extremely happy and proud" of him, said Roger Goodell, NFL commissioner. ESPN is ready to declare him athlete of the century. The Democrats are probably booking him as keynote speaker for their 2016 national convention. Stanford University would gladly name this alum president. And with his newfound fame, he could easily win an election in practically any left-wing state. Neil Armstrong didn't get this many accolades for walking on the moon.
You probably know Athlete A is Tim Tebow, released today by the New York Jets of the NFL, and Athlete B is Jason Collins, released by the Washington Wizards at the end of the season, and who announced he is homosexual. Collins could not be more highly exalted if he'd just won the Super Bowl and permanently established world peace. He wrote a lengthy story in Sports Illustrated to announce he prefers having sex with men, which biologically speaking, can't be very much fun.
But the left-wingers are exhilarated. Some to push the radical homosexual agenda. Others just going with the flow to say the right things and sound enlightened, rather than to stand apart and look at what's really going on.
Until years ago, the American Psychiatric Association's official position on homosexual behavior was that it's a personality disorder. But homosexual fascists caused such a ruckus that they intimidated the APA into discontinuing that. Their decision had nothing to do with science and everything to do with activist threats, pressure and political correctness.
The truth is that homosexuality is most often caused by negative events in a person's life, including sexual abuse and parental disconnection. Collins said his family life is good, intact. But maybe some day after this clamor dies down, a TV or print reporter will interview him and the truth will come out. This man deserves sympathy for what he's experienced. But the accolades may only serve to the detriment of younger boys who might think the abuse they've suffered is normal and acceptable. Many are being deluded, and what is being celebrated today is not compassion.
Three-fourths of homosexual men studied by the CDC did not even know they have HIV. Male homosexuals live 20-30 years less than heterosexual men, because of AIDs, cancer, drug and alcohol abuse, and more. These men suffer high rates of anal cancer. In one study, 41 percent of homosexual males reported having been forcibly raped as children. Do you still consider yourself compassionate, Coach Doc Rivers, Bill Clinton, Roger Goodell, David Stern, Barack Obama, and all you who glorify damaging and destructive life events? Your praises for Collins may have a devastating impact on countless young people listening to you and who look up to pro athletes. You would have multitudes risk severe health hazards in exchange for political correctness. We have an epidemic in this country and around the world … and you on the Left are celebrating its cause.
The political correctness will have a devastating fall-out, as Rush Limbaugh and a caller noted today:
CALLER: My question, let's say player A comes out and says he's gay, and he's a quarterback, running back, something like that. Player B on the opposing team sacks him a few times over a season or in a game, is that gonna be considered a hate tackle? And will Obama come out and say, "My son's not gonna play because there's too much hate in football"?
RUSH: I have to tell you something. I haven't even pondered this. You have a gay quarterback or a gay running back, and there's a vicious penalty that requires the referees to throw a flag, will the people on TV in the sports media say, "I wonder if they hit the guy hard because he's gay, I wonder if there's payback? I wonder if that was a hate hit?" Given, Dan, that we're talking about liberals in the media, that wouldn't surprise me. I hadn't even considered that. I can totally see that happening. I can see the allegation that a particularly egregious hit could be alleged to be a hate hit. And then, ladies and gentlemen, might we start hearing whispers, whispers, whispers of perhaps a bounty on gay players on certain teams? That kind of thing could be reported even if it wasn't happening. If some reporter thinks it might happen, all he's gotta do is raise the possibility. Are there bounties in the NFL against the gay players? I hadn't even thought of that.
The Left certainly has its priorities out of whack. No wonder our country is so confused and in such moral chaos. What's up is down; what's down is up. God forgive us.

Canada / USA, 2006 (MIFF 2007, Full Moon Fever)
Director: Andrew Currie
The 'zom-com' sub-genre gets a technicolor makeover in this frisky take on the adventures of the undead. The town of Willard exists in a kind of retro future where everyone wears smiles on their faces, lives in white-picketed comfort… and owns control-collared zombies to perform menial household chores. For Timmy, the dutiful Fido (played by a blue-tinged and dialogue-free Billy Connelly) is a boy's best friend. Although when his collar malfunctions, Fido's bloodlust turns him into something less agreeable than the average family pet. Reveals shades of Pleasantville mixed with Bob Balaban's Parents. "The biggest-budget independent movie ever produced in British Columbia, Fido is a first for Canadian film. Its blend of satire and gooey gore is tempered with surprising emotion." - Toronto Film Festival

The Census Bureau has the longest-standing definition of rural as open country and settlements of less than 2,500 residents, excluding suburbs of urbanized areas with 50,000 or more population. For the 2000 census, revised tabulating procedures extended the classification of urban-like suburbs to include small towns ("urbanized areas").2 This transferred a number of people to urban status who had previously been classified as rural, especially in the Northeast. In 2000, the rural population was measured at 59.0 million, or 21 percent of the total population.
OMB expands the Census Bureau's definition to a county-based approach to measure the extent to which a large city's (central city) economic influence extends beyond its limits. The level of intercounty job commuting is the principal means of determination. The terms "metropolitan," "micropolitan," and "noncore" are used to describe the areas of measurement. A metropolitan area is defined as a county with a central city and its adjoining counties that together have more than 50,000 people, regardless of the size of the largest central city (FR, 2000). Micropolitan areas are defined as counties that have a town of at least 10,000 population; outlying counties are included if commuting to the central county is 25 percent or higher. Noncore counties are those not near an urbanized area of 10,000 or more. Most recently, the 2004 Omnibus Appropriations Bill broadened the definition of rural to include any incorporated city or town of 20,000 persons or less rather than using the OMB definition in order to broaden eligibility for participation in USDA's Rural Broadband Grant and Loan Program.
The ERS has developed two other types of measurements for population comparisons—the rural–urban continuum codes and the urban influence codes. The rural–urban continuum codes (see Figure B-1) are used to distinguish metropolitan counties by size and nonmetropolitan counties by their degree of urbanization and adjacency to metropolitan areas. Metropolitan areas can measure more than 1 million or less than 250,000, and nonmetropolitan codes range from +20,000, adjacent to a metropolitan area, to completely rural, or <2,500 not adjacent.
Free-standing towns of 2,500 to 9,999 are often considered rural because of their modest scale and relevance to providing health services for a larger surrounding rural area; counting these towns would add another 11.1 million to the rural total. Above this, 7.6 million live in clusters of 10,000 to 19,999 population, and 11.3 million in clusters of 20,000 to 49,999. The population total of all the rural and urban cluster categories is 89 million (FR, 2000).

Notre Dame is starting to run out of options as the team deals with a rash of injuries, especially on defense.
"We are running out of next man," coach Brian Kelly said during his Sunday teleconference. "We are at that point, from a defensive stand point, in particularly the defensive line, we are left with very few options. It becomes an issue now where we have to be very creative in what we are doing and how we are doing it.
"We will figure something out. We'll get 11 guys out there."
The Irish lost another linebacker for the season when Ben Councell suffered a "significant" knee injury in Saturday's 38-34 home win over Navy.
Notre Dame already lost linebacker Jarrett Grace for the season because of a broken leg suffered against Arizona State on Oct. 5.
The injury news Sunday didn't get better from there.
Kelly said defensive lineman Kona Schwenke suffered a high-ankle sprain against Navy and will not play when the Irish (7-2) travel to play Pittsburgh (4-4) on Saturday, and nose guard Louis Nix III, who missed the last two games with tendinitis in his knee along with a small meniscus tear, was getting an MRI on Sunday and remains questionable to play.
Notre Dame will also be without linebacker Ishaq Williams, who suffered an ACL injury against Air Force, for Saturday's game against Pitt. Kelly said Williams should start rehab this week and could return for the Nov. 3 home game against BYU.
The Irish are also waiting to find out the status of safety Austin Collinsworth, who suffered a neck strain against Navy and will undergo an MRI Monday.
"When he came in today, he was a lot more sore than we anticipated," Kelly said.
These injuries come on the heals of Notre Dame already dealing with the losses of defensive linemen Tony Springmann, a Bishop Dwenger graduate, and Chase Hounshell and linebacker Danny Spond and safety Nicky Baratti to injuries before the season
There was some good news about defensive injuries as Kelly said defensive end Sheldon Day, who re-tweaked the high-ankle sprain he suffered against Purdue on Sept. 14 against Navy, should be able to play Saturday.
Kelly also said safety Elijah Shumate, who missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, is 100 percent and will be activated this week.
On offense, Kelly believes starting left guard Chris Watt could return this weekend. Watt didn't play against Navy because a PCL injury proved to be too restrictive to play against Navy. Conor Hanratty made his first start in Watt's place Saturday.
"I think (Watt) is going to feel a lot better this week, be able to make some of the compensation that he is going to have to make with no PCL," Kelly said. "I'm pretty confident he will be able to get back into the lineup this week."

Assessing The Arizona CardinalsPosted by on October 5, 2011 – 6:47 am
Looking to log their first win of the season, the Vikings will head back to Mall of America Field this weekend to host a familiar foe in the 1-3 Arizona Cardinals. The Vikings and Cardinals aren't in the same division, of course, but they've been regular adversaries since the 2006 season, with this weekend's matchup marking the fourth in as many seasons and the sixth since 2006.
Another reason the Cardinals may seem familiar is because they've arrived at this point of the season in similar fashion to the Vikings. While the Cardinals have already collected their first victory, they've also lost 3 games and in all 3 games they've been in position to win. Arizona lost an 8-point 4th-quarter lead on the road to the Washington Redskins, they held a 10-6 lead at halftime in Week 3 before Seattle came back to beat them, and then last week the Cardinals surrendered 21 fourth-quarter points to squander a 10-point lead in the 2nd half. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Even more, Arizona's struggles have manifested themselves on 3rd down offense, where they rank 28th with just a 29.8% conversion rate, and on passing defense, where they rank 26th in the NFL and are allowing 282.8 yards per game.
Overall on defense, the Cardinals rank 24th in yards allowed (388.3 per game) and tied for 12th in scoring (21.8 points per game), while offensively the Cardinals rank 18th in yards per game (352.5) and 19th in scoring (21.5 points per game). Also, Arizona is -1 in turnover ratio and has allowed 26 gains of 20+ yards (2nd-most in the NFL).
Through all of that, they've been in position to win each week and their average margin of defeat is the 3rd-smallest in the NFL at just 2.67, behind only Tennessee and Washington at 2.00 (the Vikings average margin of defeat is just 4.75 points).
So while Arizona comes in with an unimpressive record of 1-3, this is not an opponent to take lightly. Their offense features one of the best WRs in the NFL – Minnesota native Larry Fitzgerald – and then last week their running game came alive, as RB Beanie Wells carried the ball 27 times for 138 yards and 3 TDs. Arizona may not be lighting up the scoreboard, but they can be a balanced offense and they have an elite talent at WR, which will be a challenge for the Vikings secondary. Where the Vikings can strike against this offense is in the trenches. Look for either or both DE Jared Allen and DT Kevin Williams to win their matchup and either change the game or open up opportunities for others along the defensive line to make an impact.
Defensively, Arizona runs a 3-4 scheme and their front seven is pretty solid. Eight-year veteran DT Darnell Dockett is probably the best player up front for Arizona, and if not properly accounted for he can ruin the game for the opposing offense. DE Calais Campbell, who has 2.5 sacks this year, can flash and become a factor, and a sneaky-good player is LB Daryl Washington, who has 3 tackles for a loss, a sack and an INT on the season. In the secondary, CB Patrick Peterson is progressing into a very good player; he was their 1st-round pick last April. And you can't forget about S Adrian Wilson, who is one of the League's grittiest players and is the defensive leader.
One special teams note is that Arizona has just 5 touchbacks on 18 kickoffs (27.8%), which means there could be opportunities for Percy Harvin (and Lorenzo Booker) in the return game.

The Cards are no easy team to beat, but a remotivated Vikings Team and fans. I suspect a Victory on Sunday's game. I unfortunately will have to record the game. My mom-in-law's birthday party is at the same time. I will enjoy it later. Let's go Vikings!! Baaarrrroooohhh

These days for the Vikings no team is an easy team to beat! I am not to terribly concerned these days on watching the games to see us win, but more to see when we will be starting Ponder and getting rid of Berrian, pretty much the best thing to look forward to week to week.
By Mike Wobschall on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
Getting rid of Berrian will do nothing to help this team. I'd rather see Berrian and the offense find a way to get on track. When Berrian is involved, the Vikings offense is much better.

berrian= 2 catches per 4 games? berrian does'nt play for this team , never has.the sooner they let him walk the better.the cardinals will find a way to win this game because frazier will find a way to lose it,he could'nt coach his way out of a wet paper bag.this defence could'nt stop an old lady with a walker. its time to start handing out pink slips,if not now when 0-5 0-6 0-7 ??????

When is Berrian involved?
By Jeffbleedspurple on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
WOW! can I have whatever it is your on Mike W? I respect you man, I would love to be where your at. But seriously how can you make that claim? Good God I would hate to see how this team would play if Berrian ever got hurt and the Vikes would have no choice, but to play someone else, if they are much better with him than without, we could be in very very serious trouble…. ohhh!! we already are.
Mike W I know you been watching Vikings football long enough to know that sometimes to get on the right track you have to change tracks, 09 season! we changed tracks and brought in Favre and it was really only one track, it made a huge difference, 2010! same tracks, but the train was derailed. <<< HUH?? What did I say? Anyways! Berrian is not contributing, it takes no genius to see that, there is no way you can justify 2 catches in 4 games.
By Jeffbleedspurple on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
Now that I think about it, saying the team is better with Berrian than without says nothing to very little about our other WR's, lets just rid of them, keep Berrian and we should be good.
By Jeffbleedspurple on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
Even a good WR that's only getting 2 catches a game is considered not very good play making in most books.
By NovaScotiaVike on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
Berrian is a joke and defending him on the field is a hel1 of a lot easier than defending him in print.

And Mike W: I do appreciate your writtings, it's good to see positive things being written about the team and the positive things some of our players are doing, some fans with us being at 0-4 rather not see it, but I do, Thanks for your efforts.

If we can't put a 30+ spot on the Cardinals' defense, our offense really does suck!! The only concern here would be, can our defense stop there offense from putting up big numbers!! We need big games from AP, Percy, Shaincoe/Rudolph-double tight end looks, Jenkins, bench Berrian!! Defensively, we need big games from J. Allen, Winfield, Greenway- it's time to step up after you got the big stew!! Move Winfield to free safety and have him roam the field and blitz as he did in the Philly game last year!! Let's go Minny!! It's time for a win!!

Why not line harvin in the backfield with ap more often, he runs just as hard as ap. Take out some tight ends and put in 3 wideouts harvin needs to be on the field more its not rocket science.
By Mike Wobschall on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
To make a catch, you have to be thrown the ball and it has to be accurate. McNabb and Berrina haven't been able to connect a lot this year, I understand that. But I don't think Berrian's gotten a lot of opportunites, either. I'm not sure if it's inaccuracy, bad routes, coverage, etc. That's not for my to judge, that's for teh coaches. But when Berrian is thrown the ball accurately, he performs. He led the NFL in yards per catch in 2008 (didn't hear any of you trashing him then), and he had 9 catches for 100+ yards in the NFC Championship Game. So he knows how to play, he's been productive, he still has the speed he needs (has gotten behind coverage downfield numerous times this year) and I believe in him.

the issue is not with Berrian, although I am not a Berrian fan by any stretch, but none of the recievers or tight ends are blazing trails either. The issue iw with a washed-up QB who carrys around his yesteryear stats but hasnt delivered anything he ranks almost dead last in all this season categories. Lets the how Berrian does with Ponder….Go Vikes
By Mike on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
Hey mike w if the Vikings lose this game if you were the coach would you ride Ponder for the rest of the season? Theirs a good chance that we get the 1st overall pick and you know Luck is number one he would've if he came out this past draft to, I don't think it would be smart to pass him unless you have a good reason and if se don't know what Ponder has to offer why not get the best player on the board. I just think it would be smart to start Ponder now I don't see any reason why he's not starting we are 0-4 its not like were winning games so him starting wouldn't be hurting the team it would only improve his game and get him in sync with the other players. Were not winning with Mcnabb the vet it'd time to see if Ponder can be the future of our team so we won't go through another t. jack era.
By Zack on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
The problem is mcnabb and how he isn't in sink with this offense. The lockout hurt us just like a lot of teams but really hurt us due to mcnabb not being able to have time to work with his teammates. We aren't a bad team we just haven't been able to finish when it counts. I hate the "could of's and "would of's" but we really could be 3-1 or 2-2 the least but we didn't finish, simple as that.
Another thing we really should of pointed out in this thread is why the vikings never resigned sidney rice. If we had him it would of allowed McNabb to have an easier transition into our pass game by simply being able to hit Rice on a nice go route when in need. Berrian isn't a bad player they just don't look for him in the pass game. For what reason I don't know. I am really interested in seeing Ponder and with all these other rookies playing and not doing too bad, with his football IQ he will be a solid QB in my mind. They need to have a better offensive gameplan for mcnabb and need to focus on a run first type mentality and let donovan use the play action to his advantage.

The problem is the system that the Vikings have installed. Go back and look over the first ten games of the 2009 season and compare that to the system we had before that season and after game 10 of the 2009 season. Favre controlled that offense for most of the 2009 season.
By VegasVike on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
Can berrian record 10 receptions this season ? Right now he is on track for 8! Let's cheer him on, he had a couple of good games in his prime he should be able to get to 10 by week 16!
By SmileyStar on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
Berrian has been targeted 16 times through the first 4 games and only has 2 catches. While Jenkins has been targeted 18 times and has 16 catches.
I agree that we need a better offensive gameplan, but I think the run first mentality or that the run game will carry the team is what is hurting us. We are not a threat in the passing game. In our system, they can stack 8 in the box and get to the QB or stuff AP. They're not scared or worried about us going deep. When was the last time that the Vikings had a go route and catch play that netted 50+ yards? Our top 3 longs are 41, 42, and 34, Shiancoe, Rodulph and Aromashsodu.
By Jeffbleedspurple on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
OK Mike! I will give you that much, but one of the two McNabb or Berrian has to be replaced, if not both! I am all for sitting McNabb and seeing if there can be some connection between Ponder and Berrian.
By vikingrob22 on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
Mike – your right.coaches are using Berrian on a limited basis and he provides the best speed downfield…Lets hope he catches whatever is thrown his way…I like Harvin,Jenkins,Aromashodu,Shianco,Rudolph and Boooker catching the ball and going downfield…Hoping McNabb gets on target so we get a win…

The Cardinals have a history with the Vikes so this weeks game is always one to look forward to. As far as Berrian goes, I think Wobschall has a point about him being able to play, but the fact is that the wait for him to have any type of breakout game has gone to long. No one has faith in him. Chemistry with the QB means nothing without the results to back it up. So far the results speak for themselves. As far as from a fan perspective, I think it is safe to say that our hopes rest on Harvin, Shianco and our newbies to produce and until Berrian has that "amazing game" then the fans are not going to buy-off on anything with Berrian. Here is hoping that our Purple-pride is strong this weekend and that we have some folks step up to turn this 0 and 4 around. i bleed purple…. nuf said…

Berrian can't catch much because McNabb sails the ball 10 ft above Berrian. I'm not saying Berrian is good, but many throws by McNabb ARE NOT CATCHABLE.

probably quite a bit for him to bring up the 2008 and 2009 seasons, but neglects to talk about how bad Berrian was, when he was our classified our #1 receiver in 2010 when he couldn't have caught a cold if he tried. Berrian is washed up and shouldn't be on this team

to continue with this, Fran Tarkenton and Joe Theismann are saying the exact same thing we are about McNabb and to start ponder now!!!!!! Only reason I can think of Frazier continuing to play McNabb when he isn't providing a spark to the team, is that he still has a man crush, from when he was a coach in philly.

Sorry to say it, but the vikes will lose again. They have no defense to stop Kolb and Fitz. Look for an Arizona win. 31 – 17.
BTW, I am a die-hard vikings fan, but this team shows no willingness to play hard and win for 60 minutes.

Well unfortunatley minnesota is in a huge hole now that theyve lost 3 games they should of easily won based on how they played the first half and then decided to not show up against the worst team in the league and got beat because of it.But like Brian Robison said theyve all gotta play their hardest and maybe theyll be at 4-4 by the bye, they do play the cardinals bears and panthers, the vikes still gotta play the pack in that 4 game stretch but at least there at home and maybe by then theyll have a little momentum. Ill never count out my team like a lot of you so called fans and im tired of everyone outside of the fanbase hating on minnesota

Im just mad that the odds are that we are not going to make the playoffs, its week 5 and we are already out of the race. Even last year we still had a chance into the halfway mark but fell off. The Vikings use to always be in the hunt and it was so exciting to watch them play the last stretch of the season even if we didnt make the playoffs. I just hate that we have no chance, and I have to only focus on fantasy football because my Vikings are already out of the picture.

I applaud the people with a positive attitude for the rest of the season. Unfortunately, with 6 division games against the reigning superbowl champs and two other pretty good teams, I am not so optimistic. I have somewhat defended McNabb because personally I don't see the inexperience of Ponder or Webb making a difference. Not with the oline play and the coaching so far this year. I say let McNabb play this week. If we don't get a W, make a change. Get some experience for the future. This season is shot. I lost any respect for Frazier when he let AP and the crowd talk him out of the field goal against Detroit and then didn't give Peterson the ball. To me that shows a lack of confidence in your decision making. Peterson is one of the if not the best backs in the league but the coach has to have control. Frazier does not.

I thought the same thing!! I didn't want the field goal, I wanted a touchdown. When they snapped that ball and AD wasn't running the ball, I just hung my head, who in their right mind would not put the ball in AD's Hands.
It's kind of like kick returns, You just know that AD wanted that ball, but Frazier wouldn't let him have it.

Here is to hoping the vikes can manage to not only manage to keep playing McNabb and BB, but go 0-16 AND get the #1 pick… then blow that pick on a kicker before they move. Now THAT would be fun to watch!
By David P on Oct 5, 2011 | Reply
I disagree. BB has been targeted 16 times and has two catches. Yes McNabb is part of the problem but I have recorded and watched all 4 games and when I see the ball going to BB there is always a defender on him. No seperation at all. If you are a number 1 receiver you should be able to get seperation from a DB that had their first start last week. But Mike you are paid to put that spin on so go ahead and spin. I have a bad feeling about this weekend. If you cannot beat the worst team in the NFL (chiefs) then how can you beat the packers, bears and others. This team and coaching staff stinks and needs a revamping. I am praying for 4-4 at the bye but that is going to be a stretch.

He is still starting becasue McNabb was his choice and its clear he is not man enough to admit he made a mistake!!!!
I dont care how much time McNabb has to throw, he will have one good throw for every 5 bad ones. If its over 10 yards forget about it, he cant throw.
Please lets move on Frazier, were not going to make the playoffs so lets start playing the other guys and see what we have.

I wonder if Frazier ever thinks about the thousands of fans that want McNone benched & Ponder in? Hey Frazier, do you realize those fans are retired NFL players, also people that play and have played the game, people that love the game, people that want winners & champs!! Was ponder so bad in the pre-season beating Houston 28-0? Is that why he's benched? I bet even some of your players think you are a "sandwich short at the picnic" by playing the old man McNone!

AP Diplomatic Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says he's had mixed success in persuading Russian President Vladimir Putin to think "forward as opposed to backward" on a variety of issues and is reassessing the U.S.-Russia relationship.
While senior officials from the two countries met at the State Department, Obama told reporters at a news conference Friday that Putin's return to the Kremlin last year had brought about "more rhetoric on the Russian side that was anti-American, that played into some of the old stereotypes about the Cold War contest between the United States and Russia."
"I've encouraged Mr. Putin to think forward as opposed to backward on those issues, with mixed success," he said.
Obama told reporters that he decided not to attend a summit with Putin planned next month for Moscow because "Russia has not moved" on a range of issues where the U.S. would like to see progress. He said his unhappiness with Russia granting temporary asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden was one reason, but not the only one, for his decision.
"I think the latest episode is just one more in a number of emerging differences that we've seen over the last several months around Syria, around human rights issues where, you know, it is probably appropriate for us to take a pause, reassess where it is that Russia's going, what our core interests are, and calibrate the relationship so that we're doing things that are good for the United States and, hopefully, good for Russia," Obama said.
Obama said that no one could hope for 100 percent agreement and that differences could not be completely disguised. But he said U.S.-Russian cooperation is important.
"We're going to assess where the relationship can advance U.S. interests and increase peace and stability and prosperity around the world," Obama said. "Where it can, we're going to keep on working with them. Where we have differences, we're going to say so clearly."
Obama praised trade and arms control successes that the U.S. and Russia were able to seal when he was dealing with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Obama played down suggestions that he and Putin do not get along.
"I don't have a bad personal relationship with Putin," he said. "When we have conversations, they're candid. They're blunt. Oftentimes, they're constructive."
But he took a shot at the often dour-looking Russian leader for his demeanor in meetings and appearances before reporters.
"He's got that kind of slouch, looking like the bored kid in the back of the classroom," Obama said. "But the truth is, is that when we're in conversations together, oftentimes it's very productive."
He urged Putin to think in broad terms and not view the United States as an enemy.
"If issues are framed as if the U.S. is for it, then Russia should be against it, or we're going to be finding ways where we can poke each other at every opportunity, then probably we don't get as much stuff done," Obama said.
Obama's comments came shortly after Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel wrapped up talks with their Russian counterparts that were intended to try to repair some of the damage caused by the differences over Syria, Russia's domestic crackdown on civil rights and anti-gay legislation, a U.S. missile defense plan for Europe, trade, global security, human rights and American adoptions of Russian children.
Officials from both countries said after the talks that the atmosphere had been positive and productive and that they had agreed to renew efforts to bring about a political resolution to the deteriorating situation in Syria at an international conference. On the military side, the officials said Russia had invited the U.S. to observe a joint Russian-Belarussian training exercise next year involving 13,000 troops as well as establish a video link between the defense chiefs.
Kerry allowed that U.S.-Russia ties had been complicated by "colliding and conflicting interests." Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also acknowledged the fractious state of the relationship but called on both sides to act like "grown-ups," saying that's how Moscow wants to handle the differences.
Noting that he and Lavrov are former ice hockey players, Kerry said that they understood "that diplomacy, like hockey, can sometimes result in the occasional collision, so we're candid, very candid, about the areas in which we agree but also the areas in which we disagree."
He added: "It's no secret that we have experienced some challenging moments and obviously not just over the Snowden case."

'A Field in England': an original, mind-blowing trip set in 1648
A four-star movie review of "A Field in England," shot on a shoestring in striking black and white and set in England during its 17th-century civil war. It's a kind of fever dream with madness, violence and drug-induced visions afflicting its characters in unexpected ways.
Special to The Seattle Times
Movie Review
'A Field in England,' with Reece Shearsmith, Michael Smiley, Ryan Pope, Peter Ferdinando, Richard Glover. Directed by Ben Wheatley, from a screenplay by Amy Jump. 90 minutes. Not rated; for mature audiences (contains gory violence, language, nudity). Friday, Saturday and Thursday at SIFF Cinema at the Film Center; Sunday through Wednesday at the Uptown.
Take five men — rough, shaggy fellows.
Situate them in a vast field of tall, undulating grass.
Dial the time back to 1648, to the English Civil War when Roundheads and Cavaliers battled with flintlock weapons and sharpened pikes.
Mix in large quantities of hallucinogenic mushrooms and behold the phantasmagorical imagery they engender.
Prepare to be mesmerized by "A Field in England," a movie of singular originality.
Shot on a shoestring in striking black and white by British filmmaker Ben Wheatley, "Field" is a total immersion in another time and another world. It's tremendously strange yet always accessible, the visuals minimal yet rich, flawlessly evoking the bygone era with authentic costumes and dialogue.
Amy Jump wrote the terrific screenplay, and her writing renders the archaic parlance of the times easily understandable to modern ears.
The men in the field are Whitehead (Reece Shearsmith), an educated innocent and something of a coward; army deserters Friend (Richard Glover), a somewhat simple-minded soul, and Jacob (Peter Ferdinando), a peevish warrior; O'Neill (Michael Smiley), a man of great cruelty and greater greed; and Cutler (Ryan Pope), O'Neill's loyal flunky.
The picture opens amid gun smoke, panic and drums, with Whitehead, Friend and Jacob fleeing the fighting. Strangers at first, they make their way across the field, seeking escape and, in the case of Friend, beer.
They soon fall into the clutches of Cutler and O'Neill, seekers of treasure they believe to be buried in the field. O'Neill, previously acquainted with Whitehead, believes he knows the location of the loot.
Subjecting poor Whitehead to unspeakable though unseen (by the audience anyway) tortures, eliciting ungodly shrieks from the hapless victim, the secret of the stash is pried forth. Or is it?
As the picture unfolds, it turns into a kind of fever dream, with madness, violence and drug-induced visions afflicting the characters and leading to an ending that's unexpected and powerfully strange.

WWE has started teasing the upcoming release of the Paul Heyman DVD, which will be called The Paul Heyman story. The company plans on making the documentary of the former ECW owner available to the public some time in August of this year.
WWE has contacted Jim Ross for some work. The longtime commentator is being brought back into the fold to help out with the upcoming Paul Heyman DVD being produced. The belief is that he will be telling some stories on the former ECW owner.
All signs are pointing to WWE working on a brand new Ultimate Warrior DVD, one that will not mock him like the previous one. There are talks that it will be released around Wrestlemania time to coincide with a possible induction ceremony.
There are plans within TNA right now to have Rockstar Spud and Ethan Carter working as a tag team. People backstage feel that the two of them work very well together and have a better chance of connecting with the audience if they were to work as a unit.
It appears that the story line and character development for Brutus Magnus is working, as fans have been booing him during the European tour. Many backstage were expecting him to receive cheers like Rockstar Spud has been receiving, but they're pleasantly surprised by the crowd reaction.
There will be a Lethal Lockdown match at TNA Lockdown 2014 this year. Team Dixie will consists of Ethan Carter, Bobby Roode, James Storm and Rockstar Spud. They will face Team MVP, which will include MVP, Gunner, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards.
Many are wondering who will be the first opponent for MVP in TNA will be, and it looks like Rockstar Spud has been given that honor. Earlier today, the two of them filmed a match for the episode of Impact Wrestling set to air on February 13.
British star Rockstar Spud managed to gain some attention during his segment on Impact Wrestling with Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards from Scotland tonight, as the relatively new TNA star became a trend on Twitter. Fans also made the show itself a trend as well.
"I really am living the dream and returning to the UK, whatever the reaction, really tops its off. It has been a whirlwind year or so really but I can't think of a better way to top it off than with this tour and getting to wrestle for TNA in front of my hometown crowd. It might be a cliché but it really is a dream come true, I have wanted to be a wrestler for so long and now being able to do it, is just amazing."
- Rockstar Spud talks about being on Impact Wrestling in England
TNA officials are said to be extremely pleased with how well Rockstar Spud and Ethan Carter have been performing as of late. The goal was to bring in fresh new faces, and the two of them have been making management look good in that choice.
On a special Final Resolution edition of Impact Wrestling last night, Brutus Magnus defeated Jeff Hardy in a tournament final and became the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He climbed the ladder and retrieved the belt after Rockstar Spud interfered.
Many have been praising Rockstar Spud for his work in TNA, as many feel that he is really getting into his character. The European star recently made his Impact Wrestling debut as the executive assistant for Dixie Carter.
