NBC cameraman Peter Stendel (left) ended up on the turf after an encounter with a Patriots security specialist escorting New England Coach Bill Belichick from Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday.
- Filed Under
The NFL is reviewing an incident at the end of the Indianapolis Colts-New England Patriots game when an NBC cameraman ended up on the ground after brushing against a member of the Patriots security detail.
An NFL spokesman told The Star the league is "looking into" the incident involving a veteran shooter Peter Stendel, who got tangled up and dropped onto the playing surface at Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday night.
The incident occurred after the Patriots lost 35-34 after a controversial call by New England coach Bill Belichick to go for a first down on fourth-and-2 that failed. ...

Places of Interest
Sarawak is divided into nine divisions. Kuching, the state capital which
incidentally is also located in Kuching division sits on the banks of
the Sarawak River, 32 km from the sea. The influence of the British is
reflected in the architecture of some of its public buildings. A fine
example is the Sarawak Museum, one of Asia's best, housing a fascinating
collection of Borneon ethnological and archaelogical artefacts.
The Cat Museum, Islamic Museum, Chinese Museum, Timber Museum and Police Museum also offer interesting insights into Sarawak.
Other notable attractions in the city include the Fort Margherita, named after the wife of Charles Brooke , the second White Rajah and the Astana, presently, the residence of the Governor of Sarawak.
The Sunday Market or Pasar Minggu, where local produce is sold, is the best place to mingle with the local folk.
Sarawak Cultural Village at the foothills of the legendary Mt. Santubong,
35 km from Kuching, is a major tourist attraction. Popularly known as
the living Museum, the village is a showcase of the state's rich
cultural diversity.
Sarawak's magnificent caves is truly one of nature's greatest gifts. The Niah National Park is an area of major archeological significance as the oldest human remains in Southeast Asia, dating back 40,000 years, were found in its world renowned Niah Caves. The caves is home to milions of bats and swiftlets and witnessing the collection of guano for use as fertiliser and the hazardaous task of harvesting birds' nests can be an absorbing experience.

Republican Senate nominee Joe Miller said Monday he wouldn't answer any more questions about his background or personal matters, accusing some in the media of impropriety, and arguing that such questions are a distraction from the real issues facing Alaska.
He's off the mark on three points.
• The question of Miller's performance while he was a part-time attorney for the Fairbanks North Star Borough is not an intrusion into his personal or family life. These are questions about his performance as a public servant on the taxpayers' dime. Voters have a right to know about that performance, just as they have the right to know about Lisa Murkowski's record as a legislator and Scott McAdams' record as a school board member and mayor of Sitka.
Those are legitimate questions for the public realm. These candidates are asking to represent Alaskans in the United States Senate. They can't expect to cherry pick what parts of their public records they'll discuss.
• If media members have violated some law, or mistreated Miller, show us the evidence. So far what media members have done is sought borough records and sued for those the borough has withheld for whatever reason. That's what media institutions do, provide as much information as possible.
• As for distractions, questions about any candidate's performance in public service is not a distraction but part of the record by which voters judge a candidate's merit. And it's not as if Alaskans are ignoring the issues that Miller has raised. On the same day he said he wouldn't answer any more questions about his background, he and his opponents answered a series of questions at the chamber debate about health care, federal debt, foreign policy, war and resource development.
Joe Miller is free not to answer any questions. But the media and Alaskans are free to keep asking them -- and digging for answers.
BOTTOM LINE: Questions about past performance in public service are fair game for candidates.

Audi takes on the competition in the luxury segment with its Q3 Sportback, a soft-roader with a refined diesel engine and an easy-to-use manual gearbox. Ouseph Chacko has the details
With luxury players such as Mercedes and BMW introducing high-end, expensive hatchbacks, Audi, has had to strategise accordingly. However, the company isn't taking the fight to the competition with its A3 Sportback. Instead, Audi is taking its baby SUV, the Q3, a few notches down in price to compete directly. Also, Audi will start assembling the Q3 in India, thereby attracting less duty.
This Q3 2.0 TDI will come with a six-speed manual gearbox and won't have Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system. It is the first time an SUV in this segment is offering a manual transmission, so it's imperative that the gearbox be easy to use, as owners of compact cars tend to drive themselves.
Also, the key challenge for Audi lies in cutting down on equipment without making the Q3 feel too pared down — buyers will still expect it to feel like an Audi.
The front-wheel-drive Q3 comes with a lower powered 140bhp 2.0-litre engine, identical to the one in the A4. Audi knows that for buyers of entry-level luxury cars, the badge is more important than the engine. They don't want best-in-class performance as long as they are not left wanting. That's exactly the case with this Q3. Press down on the light clutch, engage first gear and you'll discover a smooth clutch action. The Q3's engine makes a healthy 32.6kgm from as low as 1750rpm and torque stays healthy till 2500rpm. This translates to brisk acceleration and speeds that are fast enough for most occasions.
The Q3 Sport, true to its name, is quite enjoyable to drive — the gearbox is slick, light and positive and you will often find yourself shifting gears just to revel in the shift action. This Q3, despite its lower power (the Quattro comes with 177bhp), never feels slow. This is partly due to the fact that this car, at 1445kg, weighs a considerable 140kg less than its all-wheel-drive sibling.
That means this two-wheel-drive Q3 gets to 100kph in 9.9sec as against the Quattro's 8.3sec — not too bad a disadvantage, and in the real world, has more than enough performance. Sure, the DSG-equipped Q3 is much quicker in gear, and of course, makes you work less in traffic, but because this manual is so good and the engine is so responsive, we really didn't find huge cause for complaint. In fact, in traffic, the engine's strong pulling power from low revs means it doesn't really ask for a downshift.
Like we've come to expect of recent Audi diesels, this four-cylinder, 2.0-litre TDI is smooth and very refined, and Audi's ARAI-certified fuel efficiency figure is a decent 17.3kpl.
As for the insides fit and finish are as good as you would find on any Audi, and there's really no difference in the way the dashboard looks. The dials are the same, the steering wheel and gear lever are leather wrapped, and there's even an MMI system. This is a compact SUV, so the cabin is a bit cramped, especially at the rear. Legroom and headroom are just about adequate. The seats are nicely cushioned and have a nice upright stance that's good for long drives. If there's a weakness, we feel it's with the Q3's styling — it's too generic and fails to excite.
Audi plans to price it at Rs. 24.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), a good Rs. 2.5 to Rs. 3 lakh less than the current Q3's starting price. As is, the Q3 is a reasonably spacious, practical and well equipped soft-roader that will appeal to a broader spectrum of people. It comes with a strong, refined diesel engine, an easy-to-use manual gearbox and has most of what owners will expect from an Audi.

In Ellis v. U.S. Security Associates, a California Court of Appeal held that an employer's attempt to shorten the one year statute of limitations to file a harassment claim under FEHA was against public policy and unenforceable.
Ellis was hired as a security guard for Security Associates, and as part of the hiring process, executed an employment application that stated that she must file any claim or lawsuits related to her service within six months of the employment action, and further required her to "waive any statute of limitations to the contrary." When Ellis later filed a harassment claim and related claims against Security Associates, her former employer moved to dismiss the claim as being untimely pursuant to the six month limitation in the employment application (even though it was timely under FEHA's one year statute of limitation).
The Court of Appeal determined that Security Associates' attempt to limit the limitations period to six months for the FEHA claim was against public policy and could not be enforced, and permitted Ellis to pursue her claims. The Ellis decision emphasizes that courts generally disfavor attempts to limit the ability of individuals to pursue remedies under employment laws.

What's worth checking out at Manila Zoo, with the kids?
Aside from the famous elephant Maali, there are other attractions, like a reptile habitat and a kinder zoo, that certainly merit a visit
The Manila Zoo has been in the papers a lot lately, thanks to its famous elephant Maali. So I decided to visit the zoo with my two kids to see what the talk was all about, and also introduce them to the sights and sounds the wild kingdom has to offer.
Opened on July 25, 1959, the Manila Zoological and Botanical Garden is one of the country's educational centers for viewing, discovering and learning about animals you would only normally see in the wild.
Despite its small setting, with a land area of 5.5 hectares, the zoo has a diverse population of about 500 animals, including several that are endemic to the Philippines like the Palawan binturong, the long-tailed macaque and the Philippine crocodile.
You cannot visit the zoo without stopping to say hello to their most talked-about resident. Upon entering the zoo, you only need to look left to see her. As the only living elephant in the Philippines, Maali, which is short for Vishwamaali, is a 38-year-old Asian elephant that was donated to the children of the Philippines by the children of Sri Lanka when poachers killed her parents.
Maali is the subject of a tug-of-war between the zoo and the animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta). When visiting Maali, keep a lookout for photographer advocate-volunteer John Chua, her longtime caretaker. If you're lucky, he will let you feed Maali, as long as you bring your own bananas.
But Maali is not the only large animal residing in the zoo. Hippos are also a sight to see, when they are not submerged in the water. When they are cooling themselves in their private pools, they look like small islands popping out of the water.
Just on the other side of the hippo habitat are the tigers. Several of them are spaced across different habitats and can be viewed from an elevated vantage point, as they are great jumpers.
Manila Zoo also houses, as far as I know, the only hebra in the Philippines. A hebra is what you get when you cross a horse and a zebra.
Reptile habitat
The reptile habitat is one of my kids' favorites, aside from Maali, of course. From pythons and grass snakes to cobras, kids can see them inside a stone structure that also houses other reptiles like lizards and turtles. Right next to that are the large crocs, both saltwater and freshwater, just basking in the sun like they do along rivers and beaches.
Inside the zoo is a mini zoo, where kids can have close interaction with the animals. The Kinder Zoo, which requires an additional payment of P100 to enter, is on the left side of the main entrance.
Upon entering you will be greeted by an albino python and a small caiman, a subspecies of alligator. Pictures can be taken while you hold these amazing creatures.
Further inside the zoo, kids can hold and feed several kinds of birds, including macaws, cockatoos and toucans. But two of my kids' favorites here are a gibbon that walks around and greets visitors and a wild pig that just lies motionless on a slab of stone. My kids say it reminds them of Pumbaa in the movie "The Lion King."
If it's your first time in the zoo, this is one area you would not want to miss.
The zoo was originally built to provide a venue for Manila residents to hang out with their families—a nature park in the middle of the city.
With the entrance fee of P40 (P20 for Manila residents), the zoo is normally packed with families on weekends, who spend the day picnicking.
The zoo also offers rock climbing, horseback riding, a zip line and a fish spa. There is even a small lagoon where rowboats can be rented. All in all, there is something for the whole family to enjoy.
The zoo is along Adriatico Street, Manila. It also has canteens, souvenir shops and several playgrounds that cater to children and tourists.

idk for me its hard to pick between justin hunter who they compare to aj green or jarvis jones whos excelled in georgia and one of the better pass rusher coming in the draft
they compare Hunter to Green and Moss which makes sense bc Green coming out was compared to Moss. also these top 3 receivers are considered elite whereas none from last yr were
its not hard for me bc we need a receiver that can stretch the field so teams cant crowd the line and give Tannehill some sort of help. i dont want to leave Tannehill out to dry for one more yr or make the entire offense be Reggie Bush
Jarvis Jones or Justin Hunter. Done.
If we pass on Jarvis we'd be crazy. He is a game changer. Better than Von Miller in some peoples eyes.
There are receivers in Round 2 or 3 that will be there like Terrence Williams, DaRick Rodgers, Tavon Austin (who could be like a Harvin)
|Sponsored Links
Feeling much better after that Raider beat down.
I am not a big fan of taking a WR with a top 10 pick. Would love jarvis jones, but i think he is going in the top 4
Get a pass rusher opposite Wake
if by chance we go 8-8 again and get the 13th pick.. i like this for the first 3 rounds:
Possibility A:
Round 1: Manti Te'o
Round 2(from Colts): Terrence Williams
Round 2: Omoregie Uzzi
Round 3: Tavon Austin
Round 3(from Bears): Bacari Rambo
Possibility B:
Round 1: Justin Hunter
Round 2(from Colts): Chance Warmack
Round 2: Shane Skov
Round 3: Tavon Austin
Round 3(Bears): Bacari Rambo
This is how we really turn our offense into a powerhouse. Sign Greg Jennings in free agency. Draft Keenan Allen(I think he is not only better than Hunter, but more durable) in the 1st round and draft Tavon Austin in the 2nd.
