• Ryder C. Brecht, 20, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, has been indicted on multiple felonies, including Grand Theft, Possession of Weapons under Disability and Improper Handling of Firearms in a Motor Vehicle. Brecht is accused of taking firearms from an Elmore residence in January.
• Nicholas M. Camp, 19, who is currently being held in the Sandusky County Detention Facility, was also indicted on multiple felony counts of Complicity. According to reports of the Elmore Police Department, Camp provided assistance to Brecht in taking and disposing of weapons last month.
Brecht and Camp were both recently charged in Sandusky County on numerous counts of Burglary, Breaking and Entering, Theft, and Receiving Stolen Property, which occurred in the Woodville area.
• Michael T. Williams Jr., who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, was charged with several felony drug-related charges. According to reports of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, troopers reportedly found heroin and prescription drugs in Williams' vehicle after he was stopped on the Ohio Turnpike near Elmore for a traffic infraction last month.
Warrants have been issued for the arrest of all defendants.
House Bill 19 was passed Wednesday in the Ohio Senate and with the governor's signature will recognize officer William J. Hetrick, who was killed while on duty in 2000 in a vehicle accident.
Route 51, between Witty Road and State Route 795, will be named The William J. Hetrick Memorial Highway.
State Sen. Randy Gardner and State Rep. Chris Redfern sponsored the legislation for renaming the route at the request of Terry Mitchell, the township police chief.
A memorial page on the police department website says Hetrick was killed July 10, 2000 when his vehicle was struck by a tractor trailer.
Hetrick was assisting another agency when the accident occurred. He was 30 years old and had been with the department for five years. He left behind a wife, three children, parents, and a sister.
The Ohio Department of Transportation will erect signs in his honor.

We've got a great lineup of stories for launch day:
You'll also find WBUR's series of interviews and profiles with each of the Republican and Democratic candidates for governor.
If you like Massachusetts politics and polling, bookmark Poll Vault for the election season. We'll be updating the tracking poll weekly and posting new reporting and analysis in between.
From WBUR;
A week after the state's highest court cleared the way for a repeal of the casino law to go on the November ballot, a new WBUR poll suggests that gambling proponents would begin such a highly anticipated voter initiative with clear popular support.
Fifty-six percent of respondents said they approve of locating casinos in Massachusetts, while 38 percent said they disapprove. Six percent said they don't know, or refused to answer.
The 18-percentage-point margin of support for casinos is larger than in recent WBUR surveys. In March, 46 percent of respondents said they back casinos, to 43 percent opposed. And then in May, the margin supporting casinos was 10 points — 49 percent to 39 percent.
"Polls are noisy, and we'll know as more polls come out whether or not the [Supreme Judicial Court] decision was the high water mark, or is this the beginning of a new trend?" said pollster Steve Koczela, whose MassINC Polling Group conducts surveys for WBUR.
The poll also found that the remaining Democratic gubernatorial candidates have improved their margins against Charlie Baker. Attorney General Martha Coakley has grown her lead over baker to 12 points Baker 41 percent to 28 percent, while Treasurer Steve Grossman has pulled within two points of Baker, at 30-28, and Don Berwick trails Baker (31-19), but by a smaller margin than in previous polls. All three Democrats have leads over Mark Fisher, the other Republican gubernatorial candidate.]]>
Highlights of the month's tally:
If the GOP is choosing to focus its efforts, two of the districts it has chosen to contest are districts are where the party likely has the best shot, according to our competitiveness ranking of the state's Congressional districts. The two most competitive, according to the rankings, are the 6th district, where Richard Tisei and taking on John Tierney in a rematch of their 2012 campaign, and the 9th district, where four Republicans are vying to take on incumbent William Keating. As the chart below shows, these are the districts that appear to offer Republicans the best shot at a competitive race.
Despite a spate of negative stories about the casino licensing process and the state's commission, slightly more voters approve of casinos now than when we last asked the question back in March. But even more voters (52 percent) want to be able to vote on repealing the state's casino law on the ballot in November, including many who support the law itself. And a similar number lack confidence in the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, the body charged with overseeing the licensing process.
Casino supporters, not opponents, are paying the most attention.
One might expect, given the recent negative press about the licensing process, that voters who are paying close attention would be less likely to approve of casinos and have confidence in the Gaming Commission (Figure 1). It turns out the opposite is true, with those paying the closest attention also expressing more support for casinos and more confidence in the Gaming Commission. On the other side, those voters only casually absorbing casino news appear to be the ones least comfortable with the licensing process.
Of course, those paying least attention are also less likely to have formed an opinion on these questions, but the margin of support among those who have formed an opinion confirms the trend. Voters who are following the casino licensing process very closely approve of casinos by 20 points, while those who are not paying attention at all disapprove of casinos by 6 points. In short, those who disapprove of casinos are less engaged right now, meaning mobilizing casino opponents may prove a greater challenge for pro-repeal forces if the measure is allowed on the ballot.
The same pattern holds for confidence in the gaming commission: the voters paying the most attention are split on confidence in the gaming commission (45 confident / 48 not confident), while those not tuning in lack confidence the commission by a 20-point margin (30/50).
Partisan split on gaming commission, casinos.
Like most issues in today's political environment, the casino licensing process has taken on a partisan tinge, perhaps because the commission has been a product of Democratic administration. Among supporters of Republican candidate Charlie Baker, just 29 percent express confidence in the Commission, compared to 47 percent of Martha Coakley's supporters. As such, the process could play a role in the gubernatorial election, if problems with the licensing process is used by Republicans as evidence of Democrats' mismanagement of state government. This partisan divide doesn't hold when it comes to putting repeal on the ballot, however. There, equal numbers of Democrats (55 percent) and Republicans (56 percent) want casino repeal on the ballot, while support lags slightly among independents (49 percent).
Confidence in MGC related to other views on casinos.
A better indicator than partisanship of whether voters want repeal on the ballot is their level of confidence in the Gaming Commission (Figure 2). The less confidence voters have in the Commission, the more likely they are to support putting the repeal on the ballot, in essence taking control of the process themselves. Similarly, as confidence in the Commission declines, so does approval for casinos in the state in general.
Wanting repeal on the ballot is clearly tied to disapproval of casinos — 72 percent of those who disapprove of casinos want the measure on the ballot. But more voters want to see repeal on the ballot than actually disapprove of casinos. In fact, 37 percent of those who approve of casinos in the state also want the measure on the ballot. So while anti-casino sentiment is perhaps the major driver behind the ballot measure, there is also a slice of the electorate who simply want the opportunity to vote.]]>
Last but not least from our new poll for WBUR, the governor's race. Attorney General Martha Coakley is still far ahead of her Democratic rivals, with 51 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary. Her closest competitor is State Treasurer Steve Grossman, but with only 7 percent, he is barely the other three candidates in the field. Thirty percent of potential Democratic primary voters remain undecided.
Coakley's margin over Republican Charlie Baker is 9 points, down somewhat from previous polls. Baker has gained in some demographics but still trails Coakley by 20 points among women, a key voting bloc in recent statewide elections.
Apart from Coakley and Grossman, the other Democratic candidates in the race continue to suffer from a lack of name recognition among voters. Some lesser-known candidates have likened their efforts to those of other outsiders like Elizabeth Warren and Deval Patrick, but as we have noted previously, both Warren and Patrick had much higher name recognition and favorable ratings at this point in their first campaigns than Juliette Kayyem, Don Berwick and Joe Avellone currently enjoy.
Yesterday, WBUR reported the first findings from our latest poll for them, on opiate addiction and marijuana legalization. This morning, they revealed the responses to our questions about casinos in Massachusetts. Just over half (52 percent) favor placing a question repealing the state's casino law on the ballot this November, with 39 percent opposed. This is a solid but not overwhelming margin, especially given voters' general preference for having a say on issues in elections. (The state Supreme Judicial Court is currently weighing whether the ballot question should be on the ballot, after Attorney General Martha Coakley had ruled it unconstitutional.)
If the question makes it before the voters, it's not clear which way it will be decided. Just under half (49 percent) of likely voters in the November election favor having casinos in the state, while 42 percent are opposed. That margin is wider than the 3-point gap we found when we polled the same question in March. This slightly higher support comes in the face of a lack of confidence in the Gaming Commission deciding where the state's three casinos will be sited. More than half (52 percent) have not to0 much or no confidence in the commission. But this lack of faith seem unconnected to Commission Chair Steve Crosby; very few voters know who Crosby is, and those who do are split on his performance.
The full topline and crosstabs for these questions are available on WBUR.org. Tune in for the rest of the poll, about the governor's race, on the air tomorrow.]]>
Today WBUR reported the first findings from our latest poll for them, on opiate addiction and legalizing marijuana. (Results on casinos and the governor's raced will be released separately later this week.) We found likely voters in the November elections have very different opinions about these two different drugs.
More than half of voters (52 percent) think opiate addiction — abuse of heroin or prescription painkillers — is a major problem in the Commonwealth; another 31 percent go so far as to call it a "crisis". The problem is being felt personally, with 37 percent reporting they know someone who struggled with addiction in the past year. That number jumps to 57 percent among younger voters, those between the ages of 18 and 29. Given the demographics of the electorate compared to the population as a whole, it's likely that these figures are even understating the problem.
Voters have a much different opinion about another drug. Nearly half (49 percent) support legalizing marijuana, compared to 42 percent opposed. That figure is very close to what we found in our last WBUR poll and recent national polling tracking a shift towards legalization.
Coakley's error is certainly more understandable than when she called Curt Schilling a New York Yankee. In fairness to the Attorney General, and in contrast to the Schilling gaffe, she is not alone in her error on this question. When we asked Massachusetts residents how much they thought they paid in federal and state gas taxes combined, almost no one got the right answer. Less than 1 percent of all respondents got within a penny of correct amount (41.9 cents, at the time). Almost one in five (18 percent) guessed lower, as Coakley did, and 31 percent didn't offer a guess. But over half (52 percent) overshot the mark. Three in ten thought we pay more than a dollar in taxes for every gallon of gas; 12 percent thought they were paying was more than $2. To put these guesses in perspective, according to AAA, the average national price of gas in February 2013, when the poll was taken, was $3.65.
Q: If you had to guess, how much of the cost of every gallon of gasoline in Massachusetts would you say goes to federal and state taxes?
|Guessed less than $0.41
|Guessed $0.41 to $0.42
|Guessed $0.43 to $0.99
|Guessed $1.00 to $1.99
|Guessed more than $2.00
|Don't Know / Refused
These overestimates of the gas tax may have a real impact on the likely ballot question to repeal the indexing of the state gas tax to inflation. About half the population (52 percent) perceives a higher gas tax burden than actually exists, meaning they perceive a higher baseline to which any new tax on gasoline would be added. Thus, a "tax relief" narrative will arguably be more effective than it would be if everyone knew the actual amount of the tax in question.
With both sides gearing up for a fight over gas tax indexing in November, it's likely that candidates and voters alike will be getting much more familiar with what we're paying now and what we may be paying in the future.]]>
The candidates are relying on several different fundraising strategies. Republican Charlie Baker and Democrats Martha Coakley and Steve Grossman are relying on a more traditional formula of large checks from Massachusetts donors. Democrats Juliette Kayyem and Don Berwick have raised considerable chunks of change from out of state. And independents Evan Falchuk and Jeff McCormick along with Republican Mark Fisher have each contributed the majority of their dollars to their own accounts.

Recovering from a disastrous prelims, the St. Ambrose Cheerleading Team rallied back during finals to take fourth place among the top nine teams in the country in the NAIA Small Coed Division at the 2012 NCA College Nationals in Daytona Beach, Fla.
Coach Felicia Miles said, "This year was a tough year as the division grew from six to nine teams bringing in some of the best teams in the country who have previously held national titles. My team had quite a bit of nerves going into prelims after watching the competition in practice. I think they psyched themselves out before they even hit the mat. But on Friday, they stepped up to the plate, and I think they showed the competition just what they have to look forward to next year."

ARGOS — Chaz Downey, 8, of Argos, loves sports. His favorite is basketball, and he can shoot hoops with amazing accuracy for his age, according to his mother Jackie Campbell. Chaz especially likes cheering on his older brother, Chandler, at his basketball and soccer games.
If it hadn't been for quick action by his doctors two years ago, however, Chaz might not be able to do the things he loves today. During a routine checkup at the Down Syndrome clinic at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis in 2009, his pediatrician, Dr. Maria Stanley, discovered that Chaz's spine was extremely loose.
PLYMOUTH — Wednesday was a day of "firsts" for Patt Houghton. Unbeknownst to her, Houghton's sister-in-law Donna Kelly had nominated her for a Hello Gorgeous makeover at C.C. Hair Co. in Plymouth. Houghton was treated to her first pedicure, first facial and first hair coloring treatment as part of the makeover — all of which was a complete surprise to her.
"(Houghton) has always given of herself, and I thought it was her turn to be pampered," said Kelly, watching with misty eyes as Houghton picked out a sparkly pink nail polish for her toes.

Dear Editor, It's been over a month now since I received the phone call that no mother ever wants to receive. An employee at the Suites at Station Exchange called and told me that my son had just been shot. I was in Pooler picking up my daughter from her voice lesson, and I had to pull over to try to calm myself- especially when she handed Cooper the phone and I heard him yelling "Mom, they shot me"! Within two minutes, Officers Christian, Akers, Sakelarios and Saia from the Richmond Hill PD arrived, and Cooper received first aid ...
Last Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed House Joint Resolution 124, a continuing resolution for fiscal year 2015 that will fund the federal government until Dec. 11.
I've seen people get into heated debates over a wide range of topics, running the gamut from the rules for hopscotch to whether we should abandon the electoral college concept.
I have one of the most interesting jobs in the world.
A few days ago I saw a television commercial where Bo and Luke Duke were brought back from the "Dukes of Hazzard" to promote some product. Once again they were in "The General" outrunning the law. I don't even recall the product they were hawking, but it made me stop and think about that old programming and just how juvenile it really was - just short of "Scooby Doo."
You know how attics are. They're filled with junk, Christmas stuff and memories that you can't toss away. As I was digging through boxes the other day, bound and determined to find a dress pattern from 15 years ago, I found a scrapbook from my high school FHA years.
Those who read my column know I give props to dads every June, when Father's Day rolls around. But I've been thinking lately that maybe my husband doesn't get enough credit for everything he does the rest of the year.
The other day I came across my father's 1944 high school yearbook. It was his senior year and like most annuals, the senior class was highlighted in many different activities of the school.
Editor, Veterans, did you know when Congress passed legislation to provide care-giver assistance to our nation's most severely disabled warriors they instituted willful discrimination the likes of which haven't been seen since the oppressive days of Jim Crowe laws.
Editor: Pumpkins and mums, games for fun, face painting and good food, home and garden decorations-that's what you'll find at this year's Pumpkin Patch, sponsored by the Richmond Hill Garden Club. A tradition for 15 years now, this year's event will be held in the pavilion in J. F. Gregory Park on Saturday, October 4, from 9-1. Admission is free. Tickets ($1 each) must be purchased to play games, buy food, or have faces painted.
Not long ago, the national philosophy behind criminal-justice policy was to lock offenders away and teach them a lesson. This was popular with politicians who found that it played well before crowds, and it was popular in communities where prisons and jails created jobs. Some folks even seemed to celebrate the idea that prisons were real hellholes.
I'm a CEO with a GED, and I have walked in the shoes of a minimum wage worker. I know from experience that it's a tougher road today.
Editor: I was raised in a very loving family where family and Christian values were our way of life. We openly respected the American Flag, parents, teachers, elders, and government. I am proud to be an American and respect the foundation that our fore fathers used as a blueprint to form our government. They were Americans that established laws to protect the citizens and insure that our country was governed to the highest standards possible.
The Woman Who Shares My Name instructed me that this week's column was to be about positive things. She says she is tired of bad news and thought you felt the same way. "Surely, you can find some positive things to write about," she said, "and temporarily take people's minds off all the terrible things going on in the world. I think your readers would appreciate that."
When I think back on the days of my youth, that time when I had the privilege of traveling on the NASCAR circuit, it would be hard to pick a lesson learned that was more important than another.
Editor's note: U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Georgia, and other area elected officials will contribute periodic columns during the upcoming legislative sessions. This is a report about orientation that he went through last week.
I was on St. Simons Island last week, scarfing down massive amounts of corn-fried shrimp at the exquisite little Georgia Sea Grill, when someone came to the table to inquire if Junior E. Lee had finished his analysis of the recent election. That really puffed up Junior when I told him.
One afternoon, I had a hankering, a primal-like craving, for a supper of pinto beans and cornbread with a tall glass of cold, rich buttermilk thrown in for good measure and extra filling.
Typically, I use this weekly column to address parenting issues, reflect on challenges faced by (fairly) new moms and provide what I hope are amusing anecdotes that stem from daily life encounters with a toddler. This Sunday, though, I'm going to explore a topic that's more indirectly related to - but still very much a part of - child-rearing.
Residents of Bryan County have the opportunity Monday to show our support for a continued strong presence of the Marne Division in Bryan and surrounding counties.
This is a story I shared with some of you a couple of years ago, but given the well-deserved tributes this week to our veterans, it seems an appropriate time to share it with all of you. It is about a terrorist; an honest-to-God terrorist. Not only does he not deny the appellation, he's proud of it.
At the Department of Veterans Affairs, we have one of the most noble and inspiring missions in government. I accepted this job and joined this mission to better serve you - our veterans - and improve the delivery of the care and benefits you have earned. It is our privilege to serve you, and I have made clear that as we move forward as a department, we will judge the success of all our efforts against a single metric - the outcomes we provide for veterans.
Over the years, I've crossed paths with many who were extremely successful as well as some who were such miserable failures that, as Mama liked to say, they "ain't worth the breath they draw."
I recently saw a meme posted to a social-media site that said something along the lines of "Having children: Your way of showing the world you no longer intend to be on time - ever."
Editor, "Greater Good" is a point or ideology that has been defined, perceived and twisted. So what does this mean? I wonder if it's even fair to apply this concept because, at the end of the day, the definition is construed. Man is still making that determination.
I called Junior E. Lee and asked when he would have some post-election analysis to share with you. Junior, as you know, is general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company, in Greater Garfield, Georgia, home of Round-or-Square Polls, whose motto is "You supply the dough and we will cook the results."
In 1976 in the rainforest, a virus was transmitted to people from wild animals, and it spread through the population via human-to-human contact.
This month, more than 500 local volunteers have made a positive difference for our local waterways by participating in the Statewide Rivers Alive waterway cleanups in Georgia. Over 50 locations in Liberty County have been cleaned up so far by these amazing helpers, who ranged in ages from 2 (yes, they had a little help from their parents) to 80. Several more groups have cleanups scheduled in the next three weeks. Rivers Alive is a statewide effort to preserve and protect our waterways in Georgia. Rivers Alive events also are part of the international efforts of The Ocean Conservancy.
That apple tree. Oh my goodness. Something told me it wouldn't turn out well.

nvlddmkm.sys and windows 7 bluescreen
Hi, Im currently using Windows7 32bit ultimate,
and im keep getting nvlddmkm.sys bluescreen and it's annoying as hell.
I guess all of my drivers are work just fine with windows 7, since my laptop are work just fine without nvidia driver(when I installed normal VGA driver), and safemode.
I guess nvidia driver and windows 7 is not very compatible..
Is there any solution for this? or I have to use VGA driver until new driver come out?
I attached my minidump files.
Please help me out please..

Thanks for the site!
I will try it today thank you.
But I have a question.
If it is memory corruption problem, why is it working so great without nvidia driver and safemode?
I'm currently using my laptop as normal booting with using VGA driver which means I uninstalled nvidia driver. And it works great without BSOD or any crash.
Is this possible if it is memory corruption or hardware problem?
Thank you so much !!

I've tested my memory with memtest86 with several hours, and it passes 5times without any errors.
I am so tired of this stupid bluescreen!!
I am not overclocking or anything.
If i go to safemode and install nvidia driver and restart computer, then it crash again with bluescreen.(nvlddmkm.sys error or ntoskrnl.exe and hall.dll error)
What is the problem? should I downgradeto Vista or XP?
With out nvidia driver, my laptop works just fine with VGA driver.
Please help me out thanks.

Please let us know the exact make and model of your laptop.
Also, we'll need to know if you're using 32 bit or 64 bit Windows 7 (from the System applet in Control Panel)
It's possible that the video card is defective - so if it's under warranty you may want to consider having a repair center take a look at it.

I have windows 7 32bit ultimate rtm,
and I have hp pavilion dv2700tv special edition laptop.
Right now, my nvidia driver is not crashing, and it has been working one day so far.
So I will try to format and reinstall my window for possible windows crashing.
And my warranty is out of date..
So If my driver card is defective, it would be painful to pay for motherboard repair... right?
I hope it is not driver card problem.
I will write result after i reinstall my windows 7.
|My System Specs
|30 Nov 2009
If you no longer have a warranty, the easiest thing to do (to determine if it's a hardware problem) is to format the drive and install Windows Vista. Then update Windows through Windows Update and check Device Manager to ensure the drivers are all installed. Do not install anything else (other than an antivirus).
If the system continues to have problems - then hardware or compatibility issues are the most likely issue.

Stadium Takes Big Step, Passes Minnesota House Of RepresentativesPosted by on May 7, 2012 – 9:40 pm
The Vikings organization, its fans and Minnesota lawmakers have been battling for a new stadium to keep the Vikings a part of Minnesota culture for more than a decade. And tonight, after a full day of debate inside the State Capitol, a huge step toward that end was made.
Stadium legislation passed the Minnesota House of Representatives by a margin of 73-58, setting the stage for debate and a vote in the Minnesota Senate on Tuesday. Fans played a huge role in making a push to gain passage in the House, and now fans can have the same influence as the process moves on to the Senate. Click here to find out how to contact your Senator and urge them to vote for the stadium legislation.
While more work remains to reach resolution on this long-standing issue, tonight's outcome represents a historic moment in the push for a stadium that will keep the Vikings in Minnesota for many, many generations.
More to come here on vikings.com, so stay tuned.

Vikings Release LongwellPosted by on May 7, 2012 – 4:21 pm
The Vikings on Monday released K Ryan Longwell, a 16-year veteran who spent the past 6 seasons with the Vikings.
"Ryan has meant a great deal to the Vikings organization both on and off field over the past six seasons," Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier said. "We wish him all the best in the future and thank him for his service to the Minnesota Vikings."
Longwell is the Green Bay Packers all-time leading scorer (1,054 points) and also ranks as the 3rd all-time leading scorer in Vikings history with 633 points over his 6 seasons in Minnesota.

Phase 2 Of Vikings Offseason Program Begins MondayPosted by on May 7, 2012 – 7:04 am
The Vikings 9-week offseason program is segmented into 3 phases, and as the team enters its third week of workouts it also launches Phase 2 of the program. Attendance for Phase 1 of the offseason program was near-capacity and I anticipate the same will be true for Phase 2, especially in light of how many veterans hung around Winter Park to observe the team's rookie minicamp this past weekend.
We explained the differences in each phase of the offseason program a few weeks ago, but as a review here are the basics of Phase 2:
– Coaches are allowed to be on the field with players
– "Perfect Play" rules are in effect (no contact, no going to the ground, etc.)
– Individual player instruction drills permitted
– Special teams drills on a "separates" basis
– No live contact
– No individual or team offense vs. defense
– No helmets

Ellison Continues Strong Showing At Vikings Rookie Minicamp; More From SaturdayPosted by on May 5, 2012 – 2:27 pm
The Vikings had two productive practices on Friday to open their annual rookie minicamp, and the coaches and players were right back at it on Saturday as well with two more practices. The minicamp will conclude on Sunday with one practice.
Here are a few observations from Saturday's on-field action…
– The Vikings were able to squeeze the morning practice in and work outside before a weather system carrying heavy rain arrived, but the afternoon practice was moved inside due to inclement weather.
– I can't say he's the most impressive of the rookie minicamp because it's virtually impossible to give equal attention to every player without watching hours of film, but in my eyes FB/TE Rhett Ellison is having as good a few days as anyone. Ellison is billed as a big, physical blocking-type of TE. But as I said on Friday, he's a fluid route runner and smooth pass catcher. We recorded an interview with LT Matt Kalil on Friday for next week's Wobcast, and Kalil – a teammate of Ellison's at USC – spoke very highly of Ellison and described him as a do-everything type of player who is also a great teammate in the locker room. I noticed that Ellison was the last one off the practice field on Saturday morning and spent a few minutes beating up on a blocking sled before retreating to the locker room following practice.
– Saturday was a better day for WR Jarius Wright. The 4th-round pick was sidelined midway through the morning practice on Friday and then sat out the afternoon practice as well. On Saturday morning, the shifty WR was back on the field and looked good.
– The Vikings signed LB Soloman Elimimian at the end of January to a future free agent contract, and now they're getting to see the former CFL standout on the field in Minnesota for the first time. I'm guessing they like what they see so far. Elimimian plays with great energy, always seems to be around the ball and is clearly athletic enough to compete at the NFL level. He might be undersized, but that might also not matter. Now, it's one thing to standout in rookie minicamp and it's an entirely different matter to standout when the veterans arrive. But so far, so good for Elimimian.
– There are several familiar faces from last year at this weekend's camp, and one of them is that of Alexander Robinson, the former Iowa State RB who was with the Vikings during training camp last year. Robinson, a Minneapolis native, impressed in the Vikings preseason finale a year ago and now he's trying to carve out a spot for himself on the Vikings offseason roster this year. Robinson has looked solid so far in camp. The other RBs in camp this weekend are: FB Matt Asiata (Utah), Derrick Coleman (UCLA), Josh Murray (Mary) and FB Tyler Legate (Nebraska).
– LB Audie Cole, drafted by the Vikings in the 7th round last weekend, had 2 INTs on Saturday morning.

9 Players Who Stood Out On First Day Of Rookie MinicampPosted by on May 4, 2012 – 4:37 pm
There isn't much need for an introduction here. The title sums up what you're about to read. After two practices of rookie minicamp at Winter Park, here are 9 (actually, 10) players who've stood out…
DT Chase Baker (rookie free agent – Boise State): A feisty interior defensive lineman, Baker may be undersized but I also like his motor and effort.
QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson (pre-draft signee – Sacramento State): One of three QBs in camp, there is no doubt he has the best – and an NFL-caliber – arm.
S Robert Blanton (5th round – Notre Dame): Practiced with energy, good size, instincts seem solid. I will also say his running mate – 1st-round pick Harrison Smith – also impressed on the first day.
RB Derrick Coleman (rookie free agent – UCLA): Runs hard and violent it appears (practices are no contact) and I saw him make a terrific shoe-string catch in the morning.
LB Soloman Elimimian (pre-draft signee – Hawaii): Size and length might work against him, but the guy plays like an animal and I can't wait to see him practice in pads.
TE Rhett Ellison (4th round – USC): Sold to me as a bruising, blocking type, but I think he's a fluid route runner and pass catcher who also knows how to mix it up in the trenches.
WR Kamar Jorden (rookie free agent – Bowling Green): Made two impressive catches Friday, with one coming on a vertical route down the right sideline and the other on a crossing route where he achieved a great release off the line and ran away from his defender.
B Josh Robinson (3rd round – Central Florida): Speed is as impressive as advertised and it looks like he can cover.
CB Nick Taylor (pre-draft signee – Florida International): For a basketball player, he looked good in the morning practice. Actually, he looked good in the morning practice, period. Might have some cover skills.

Kalil, Blanton Stand Out In First Practice; Other ObservationsPosted by on May 4, 2012 – 1:33 pm
The Vikings 10-player draft class plus 61 other players trying out for the club joined Vikings coaches and scouts on the field Friday morning for the first of five scheduled practices at this year's rookie minicamp. Conditions were perfect, with the coaches and players working under sunny skies, moderate temperatures and a slight breeze.
The group of 71 players is comprised of the 10 draft picks from last weekend, 15 rookie free agents, 7 pre-draft signees and 39 players present on a tryout basis. The players were in helmets, jerseys and shorts with no pads, with the individual and team drill work similar to a full-squad minicamp practice; they are non-contact practices, however.
There will be another practice this afternoon at 2:55 p.m., two more on Saturday and then one final practice on Sunday. Here are a few thoughts from this morning's practice…
– Although it's presumed he'll be the starter at LT from Day 1, #4 overall pick Matt Kalil doesn't have an entitled attitude. Speaking with reporters after practice, Kalil acknowledged he has plenty of learning to do and he said playing next to a veteran such as Charlie Johnson – who will likely play LG in 2012 – will be an advantage.
– Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier came away impressed with Kalil after the first practice. "You can see why we have high hopes for him," Frazier said. "He was excellent today." Frazier was also asked about CB Josh Robison, whom the Vikings selected in the 3rd round, and Frazier said he noticed Robinson had an impressive burst while fielding kicks/punts.
– When asked what he's looking for out of the rookies and tryout players in attendance this weekend, Frazier noted that standout plays are what catch coaches' attention. Keep in mind, during the season and even training camp, coaches want to see playmakers but they also emphasize consistency and making routine plays. At this minicamp, though, a premium is being placed on making splash plays.
– Several Vikings veterans, who are not permitted to participate in this weekend's minicamp, observed the morning practice from the sidelines. The players I noticed watching practice were: QBs Christian Ponder and Joe Webb, TEs John Carlson and Kyle Rudolph, OL Brandon Fusco, Charlie Johnson, Phil Loadholt, DeMarcus Love and John Sullivan, DL Everson Griffen, WR Manny Arceneaux and RB Jordan Todman.
– Last year during training camp I made mention of players who passed the "eye test" during practice. Today's eye test winners were Kalil and S Robert Blanton. I already explained that Frazier was impressed with Kalil, but what I liked about Blanton was the way he carried himself on the field and added energy to the defense. He appears to be an intelligent player with a passion for the game. That observation is off of one practice, admittedly, but it was obvious this morning that Blanton enjoyed being on the field.
– K Blair Walsh met with a group of reporters after practice and said it was an honor to be on the roster with a player of Ryan Longwell's stature and accomplishment. Asked if his best trait was his strong leg, Walsh acknowledged that many people credit him with a strong leg, but he also noted that all NFL kickers have strong legs and that he isn't distinguished among them. Walsh also said that a player has to earn his place in the NFL, regardless of whether he was selected in the NFL draft or not.
– There are five former University of Minnesota Golden Gophers in camp this weekend. They are: WR Da'Jon McKnight, TEs Tiree Eure and Nick Tow-Arnett, DE Anthony Jacobs and DT Brandon Kirksey. McKnight met with a fairly large group of reporters after practice and called it a "blessing" to be in camp with the Vikings. He dealt with a knee injury last season, but says the knee is completely healed now.
– Two other under the radar players who stood out today were CB Bret Lockett and WR Josh Philpart.
– There are three QBs in camp this weekend. They are: Blake Bolles (NW Missouri State), McLeod Bethel-Thompson (Sacramento St.) and Spencer Ohm (Concordia – St. Paul).

Vikings Fans Can Help Make Stadium Dream A Reality This WeekendPosted by on May 4, 2012 – 8:49 am
Vikings fans have played a key role toward generating momentum for passage of stadium legislation. With the Minnesota House of Representatives now set to vote on the current proposal on Monday, the ultimate goal is now closer than ever.
The Vikings are urging fans to help make the final push and make the stadium dream a reality.
"The outpouring of support from Vikings fans has greatly intensified over the last several weeks, but it's crucial that our fans continue to be heard over the weekend," Vikings Director of Corporate Communications Jeff Anderson said. "Every day we will be asking supporters to email, call, and tweet their State rep and tell them to vote 'yes' on Monday. Given that we've never been this close, there is absolutely no reason to hold back now."
Vikings fans can call or email thier Representative to ask them to vote YES on the stadium bill to put thousands of Minnesotans back to work and help secure the Vikings in Minnesota for the next generation of fans. And don't think your voice won't be heard.
Minnesotans "are telling me that they want a stadium…a first-class facility that not only will be the home of our beloved Vikings for generations, but also a stadium that is used by the entire state," Sen. Julie Rosen, chief author of the stadium legislation, told the Star Tribune. "That will attract a Super Bowl, Final Four and provide opportunities for amateur sports, high school sporting events and other organizations."

Fan Email: Is Jabar Gaffney A Good Fit For Vikings?Posted by on May 3, 2012 – 6:30 am
Whenever a recognizable name becomes available, whether it is via trade rumors or free agency – the first thing that comes to mind for many fans and football observers is, "Is he a good fit here?" And so, with the Washington Redskins releasing WR Jabar Gaffney earlier this week, I've received several emails from fans asking if the Vikings would be a good match for his services.
It appears the answer is no.
As they do with every player who becomes available, the Vikings will likely discuss Gaffney's availability and evaluate whether or not he's a good fit here. It appears Gaffney has plenty of gas left in the tank. He may be 31 years old, but he's coming off a season in which he recorded career highs in receptions (68) and receiving yards (947), and tied a career high with 5 TDs.
But I'm just not sure he's a good fit here. The Vikings signed 4-year veteran Jerome Simpson last week, they have veterans Devin Aromashodu, Percy Harvin and Michael Jenkins set to return, and they selected two WRs in the 4th round of last weekend's draft (Greg Childs and Jarius Wright). That's not to say any of those receivers are superior to Gaffney – they may be, they may not – but it does yield the conclusion that Minnesota may not be a great fit for Gaffney.
The other factor to keep in mind is that for a team and a player to join forces, there must be mutual interest. This is something many fans didn't consider with regard to the Asante Samuel situation. Yes, the Atlanta Falcons acquired his services for a moderate price from the Philadelphia Eagles, but not every team had the same opportunity as Atlanta. Samuel identified Atlanta has a desirable destination, and he was therefore willing to talk turkey with them in terms of restructuring his contract.
Gaffney will now be in a similar situation. There will be a demand for his services, so Gaffney will choose his next team among multiple options. The smart money should be on the New England Patriots, the team for which he played from 2006-08, especially after ESPN's Josina Anderson tweeted this. While there is a deep crop of WRs in New England, Gaffney will likely begin his next stint with the Patriots as one of the preferred pass-catchers given his familiarity with the organization and Tom Brady from his first stint with the team, as well as his familiarity with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels after their time together with the Denver Broncos from 2009-10.

A Closer Look: Middle Man Of The Vikings DefensePosted by on May 1, 2012 – 8:47 pm
The 2012 NFL Draft has come and gone, and by most accounts the Vikings had a good few days. Judging from the comments section of the vikings.com Blog and the emails sent to my inbox, Vikings fans seem to be pleased with their team's 10 selections, and it's likely due to the blend of addressing team needs but also finding value in each of the picks.
When you're coming off a 3-13 season, though, having one solid draft isn't going to calm all the nerves and fix all the issues. One of the issues on many fans' radars – again, judging by fan comments and emails – is that of the middle linebacker on the Vikings defense. The Vikings haven't re-signed E.J. Henderson and they didn't address LB in the draft until their first of two 7th-round choices.
So who will play middle LB for the Vikings in 2012?
It's natural to wonder about the return of Henderson because A) there's no obvious alternative and B) Henderson has been a consummate professional and both a defensive leader and source of inspiration for the entire organization. Henderson has been everything a team can ask of a player, and more. Bringing him back would give many fans a sense of relief and confidence in the position.
But, given the decisions the Vikings have made in the case of veterans such as CB Cedric Griffin, RG Anthony Herrera and LG Steve Hutchinson, and also given the push to build through the draft and acquire young players with upside, it appears re-signing Henderson is not in the plans.
As for a draft pick, the Vikings did take Audie Cole in the 7th round, and while the organization is looking to infuse the roster with youth, I don't believe the team is counting on Cole to fill the void in 2012.
That leaves Jasper Brinkley as the team's top candidate to man the middle of the defense. And when all is said and done, it may not be a bad option. Brinkley was selected with a 5th-round pick in 2009 and played special teams while serving as Henderson's understudy for the first two years of his career. Last year, Brinkley sustained a hip injury that forced the Vikings to place him on the Reserve/Injured list and end his season before it began.
Brinkley appears fully recovered now and he's poised to take on starting responsibilities. While it's hard to accept the reality that Henderson is no longer calling the shots for the Vikings defense on the field after so many productive seasons and so many big-time plays, this is the natural progression of the NFL and a necessary step for the Vikings in their quest to build a team that can compete for the long-term.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say they've recovered the body of a diver who went missing while retrieving balls at a central Florida golf course.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office reports that 24-year-old Christopher Martin and another diver were recovering sunken golf balls in separate parts of a lake at the Eagle Creek Golf Club Friday when the other diver saw Martin's air tank floating without him.
The Orlando Sentinel (http://bit.ly/N0OknD ) reports that deputies spent two days searching the lake, eventually finding Martin's body Saturday evening. The death remains under investigation, and an autopsy will determine the cause of death.

Mobile TV will reach 244 million by 2011, says report
TV enabled handsets will reach a staggering 244 million devices by 2011, according to a new report. This is almost double the number previously forecast, and was reached by a detailed look into the likely mobile TV launch dates and the uptake rate expected in 55 countries. Accumulated global mobile TV enabled handsets The …
Will never succeed in the UK...
... unless operators radically change their data rate charges and 3G reception is drastically improved.
Not to mention they need some content worth watching on a mobile. I for one can't really think of a reason why I'd want to watch anything on a mobile, but anyway.
In other news...
Betamax will be the new video format of choice, 8-track will replace the ipod, and everyone will have a tablet PC instead of a desktop.
Great, just what society needs
Oh that's just peachy, give the sheep a way to stay plugged in to their mindless entertainment anywhere and everywhere they go. Now they'll be able to ignore the world around them without having to call or text someone else, even in the unlikely event of being somewhere that doesn't already have at least half a dozen TVs beaming out at everyone and tuned to the lowest common denominator.
Social interaction? Is that like when you text your vote in for "<insert reality show here>"?
Don't even get me started on the plonkers who'll inevitably try to watch TV while eating their drive-thru fast food and weaving along the highway at 60mph...
Big screen vs little screen
With the huge uptake of big screen TVs, why would anyone want to watch content on a 2 inch screen? In low def? With dodgy audio? I guess it could happen, but I'm not putting any real money on it taking off like the "experts" say it will.
I got my CS degree in 1978. AI was "just around the corner" according to the "experts". That's some corner.
"244 million devices by 2011, according to a new report."
Which was sponsored by the industry who develops Acme products, the survey was carried out by the tooth fairy who questioned 1000 corpses.
Its hypershite from another industry product trying to justify its existence - I believe Virgin recently got their fingers scolded with this, so if the rest of the industry does not pay attention? shame on them.
Just like Digital TV
Loads of channels. Loads of choice
But nothing to choose.
Given that the Internet on a mobile is really for quick odd use - train times, etc., do these sages really think the great unwashed are going to be interested in watching Neighbo(u)rs (Yeech) on a 3" screen?
Doubt it...
... will get that sort of revenue/be that successful. But on the other hand I'm not quite sure of the stats concerning the MTV generation, which will be the only hardcore audience.
I still can't see how the networks will be able to sustain that sort of usage that they are indicting in the report.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bob Corker, R-Tenn., ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee, today announced his opposition to the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act because it authorizes spending above limits set by the Budget Control Act of 2011, as well as the recent budget agreement. He voted against ending debate on NDAA since only two amendments were allowed to be considered, and he will vote "no" on final passage of the bill tonight.
"Washington's refusal to appropriately deal with our fiscal issues flies in the face of the courage and sacrifices of our men and women in uniform. Our country's deficits weaken the nation they fight to protect, so I don't think contributing to the spend-now-pay-later mentality of Congress is an appropriate way to honor their service," said Corker.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- State lawmakers could take up plan later in the day that backers say would give the horse racing industry a needed boost.
Legislation allowing online betting on horse racing expires next month. Race dates at Illinois racetracks would be severely cut if legislators don't renew the betting law and give Illinois' racing board access to the money wagering generates.
The plan renews the betting law for three years and calls for a surcharge made on all wagers in Illinois and provides off-track betting licenses at parks in Arlington Heights, Cicero and Crete.
A House committee approved the legislation Monday. It could come up on the floor Tuesday when lawmakers could take a vote on pension legislation.
Lawmakers return to Springfield in late January.
