Ignore the blood and gore, and it's great!
I read Grimm's Fairy Tales and I really loved comparing the originals to the versions in this book! The author does a great job of fitting Hansel and Gretel's adventures into stories such as the Seven Swallows, The Devil's Three Golden Hairs, etc... You can even read this book aloud to kids as long as you heed the author's warnings about when to stop reading :)
I probably would not recommend this book to anyone under the age of 8 but, I really liked this book. It is pretty violent and there is lots of blood. The reason I liked this book was because since it was so gory you always wondered what would happen next. It was very suspenseful. Overall I thought it was pretty great!!
Amazingly funny
This book and the other one by the same author are great fun. They are even better when you read them to your kids aloud, the blood and gore is minimal but the change of voice and wit involved is priceless. I have read this out loud to my kids twice and now I am writing this review and one of them saw me and wants me to request it again. Get it, after I check it out and bring it back, it is great. Unless you are trying to shelter your kids from the realities of fairy tale life and the violence inherent in tales meant to scare the crap out of kids so they listen to their parents and don't make bad decisions.
bloody and violent- AWESOME!
pretty awesome book. Not very appropriate for kids under the age of 6 because of blood.
One of my favorite books
One of my favorite books
Dark Humor
This book is great for people who really like dark humor an sarcasm. I loved it. This book is one of my favs.
Bloody Fairy Tale
This young adult book is a good retelling of several Grimm fairy tales combined into one narrative. The book is quite self-aware (perhaps overly so) of how gory it is. This is not a PG book, or even PG-13. The interjections of the storyteller are informative and offer interesting interpretive points, though somewhat overdone, and the story itself is compelling and has an air of authenticity.

Re: NFL News and Notes Week 5
Colts take brunt of tough day for injuries in the NFL
The Indianapolis Colts won with a few of their biggest playmakers on the sidelines.
Eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Marvin Harrison bruised a knee and running back Joseph Addai injured a shoulder during the Colts' 38-20 victory over Denver on Sunday, a big day for injuries among big-name players in the NFL.
Among those also injured were: San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith (separated shoulder), Tampa Bay running back Carnell ''Cadillac'' Williams (knee), Oakland running back LaMont Jordan (back), Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu (abdomen) and St. Louis wide receiver Isaac Bruce (hamstring).
At Indianapolis, Harrison was hurt when two players ran into him while he was blocking for Addai late in the first quarter. Harrison limped off the field, missed one play, then caught his first pass. He remained on the field for the final four plays of Indy's first touchdown drive. After coming off following the drive, he consulted with team doctors and went to the locker room.
Addai, who had 136 yards on 19 carries, didn't play after hurting his shoulder in the second half. He was replaced by Kenton Keith, who had 80 yards on 10 carries.
Colts linebacker Rob Morris, who missed the last two games with an abdominal strain, was carted off the field after injuring his left knee. Denver tight end Daniel Graham was blocking him on a running play when Morris crumpled to the ground, took off his helmet and put his hands on his face before being helped onto a golf cart and taken off the field.
Former Colts Pro Bowl safety Bob Sanders missed most of the second half with a rib injury.
Denver was without receiver Javon Walker, who didn't play because of swelling in his right knee. Safeties John Lynch (groin) and Hamza Abdullah (hip), and running back Mike Bell (concussion) were also inactive.
At San Francisco, Smith was driven hard to the ground on a sack by Seattle's Rocky Bernard on the 49ers' first drive and didn't return.
''It's frustrating,'' Smith said. ''I came out here to win the game. I prepared all week and I couldn't be out there.''
Coach Mike Nolan said it was unlikely he would be able to play next week against Baltimore. Smith was expected to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the degree if separation in the shoulder.
Smith was replaced by Trent Dilfer, who went 13-of-33 for 128 yards and two interceptions.
''It's hard,'' Dilfer said. ''It's like seeing your little brother go down. I feel badly for him. But at the same time, there's really no time for sympathy in this league.''
At Charlotte, N.C., Williams was carted off the field late in the first quarter after he took a hit from safety Chris Harris following an 18-yard gain. The blow forced Williams backward as his right leg bent under him awkwardly, and Williams immediately clutched the knee as he lay on the ground after the play.
''He will be missed,'' quarterback Jeff Garcia said. ''But like Coach said, we need to find a way to regroup and move on. He'll be with us in spirit and support. We'll be supporting him through this rehab process.''
Left tackle Luke Petitgout limped off early in the second quarter after defensive tackle Kris Jenkins fell into his leg at the line. He missed the rest of the game, and coach Jon Gruden said he didn't know the severity of the injuries.
At Miami, Jordan was hurt when he was tackled following a 7-yard reception shortly before halftime of Oakland's 35-17 win. He was helped off the field, then went to the locker room sitting up on a cart.
Bruce strained his left hamstring, and the Rams also lost linebacker Raonall Smith, defensive end Leonard Little and offensive guard Adam Goldberg to sprained knees in their 35-7 loss at Dallas.
Starting safety Corey Chavous left in the fourth quarter with a strained left pectoral muscle.
Arizona's Anquan Boldin (hip) and Pittsburgh's Hines Ward (knee) were inactive with injuries, and the Steelers lost defensive starters Troy Polamalu (abdomen) and Casey Hampton (hamstring) early in the third quarter of the Cardinals' 21-14 victory.
Philadelphia played the New York Giants without halfback Brian Westbrook, who was sidelined with a pulled abdominal muscle and did not practice this week. Offensive tackle William Thomas, cornerback Lito Sheppard and safety Brian Dawkins were also inactive.
Buffalo, ravaged by injuries this season, had three more in its 17-14 win over the New York Jets. Cornerback Ashton Youboty's status is uncertain after he twisted his ankle, linebacker Kevin Harrison limped off with an undisclosed knee injury and free safety Jim Leonhard injured a calf.
Other players injured Sunday included: Minnesota defensive end Ray Edwards (bruised hip); Green Bay defensive backs Nick Collins (knee) and Al Harris (hand); Carolina kick returner Nick Goings (concussion); and Chicago safety Kevin Payne (arm) and offensive lineman John Tait (ankle).

Bucs RB Williams, OT Petitgout to have season-ending surgery
TAMPA, Fla. -- Running back Carnell ''Cadillac'' Williams and tackle Luke Petitgout both will undergo season-ending knee surgery this week, a major setback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Williams injured his right knee when he was tackled by Carolina safety Chris Harris at the end of an 18-yard run during the first quarter of Sunday's 20-7 victory over the Panthers. Petitgout limped off the field after defensive tackle Kris Jenkins fell into his right leg in the second quarter.
''That's a big blow. ... We have some people who need to step up,'' coach Jon Gruden said Monday.
The Bucs (3-1) will use of a combination of Michael Pittman and Earnest Graham to replace Williams, the 2005 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and Tampa Bay's leading rusher the past two seasons. They finished Sunday with 138 of Tampa Bay's 189 yards rushing.
Petitgout, a ninth-year pro who spent the first eight seasons of his career with the New York Giants, was signed during the offseason to stabilize an offensive line featuring three starters in their first or second year in the NFL.
Donald Penn, a second-year pro, will take over Petitgout's spot at left tackle. The Buccaneers travel to Indianapolis in Week 5 to take on the Colts.
Re: NFL News and Notes Week 5
Veteran receiver McCardell signs with Redskins
October 1, 2007
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Keenan McCardell signed with the Washington Redskins on Monday, adding depth to a team with only one healthy wideout who has caught a pass this year.
McCardell has 861 career catches with Cleveland, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay and San Diego. The two-time Pro Bowl selection was cut by the Chargers after last season and nearly signed with the Redskins in July, but opted instead for Houston because he wanted to play in his hometown. The Texans released him at the end of preseason.
McCardell, 37, has a Super Bowl ring from the Redskins. He was chosen by Washington in the 12th round of the 1991 draft and spent his rookie season on the injured reserve list while the Redskins won the NFL title.
Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El are the only Redskins wideouts with a catch after three games. Moss strained a groin in the loss to the New York Giants and his status is uncertain for this week's game against Detroit.
Brandon Lloyd, who began the season as the No. 3 receiver, has been getting little playing time. James Thrash is primarily a special teams player, and Reche Caldwell has yet to appear in a game after being signed following the season opener.
To make room for McCardell, the Redskins released safety Omar Stoutmire.
Re: NFL News and Notes Week 5
RB Ricky Williams applies for reinstatement to NFL
October 1, 2007
MIAMI (AP) -Suspended running back Ricky Williams applied for NFL reinstatement Monday, his agent said.
``Ricky is extremely excited about the prospect of playing in the NFL again,'' Leigh Steinberg said.
Williams has played in only 12 NFL games since the start of the 2004 season, but rushed for 3,225 yards in 2002-03. His current suspension began in April 2006 after he violated the league's drug policy for the fourth time. He tested positive for marijuana this April, again delaying his return.
Williams remains under contract with Miami, where he won the NFL rushing title in 2002. But new coach Cam Cameron has not indicated whether he wants Williams to stay with the Dolphins, who fell to 0-4 Sunday.
The 1998 Heisman Trophy winner spent an extended vacation in Australia and India during a yearlong retirement in 2004. He played in the Canadian Football League in 2006 and taught yoga in California.
Williams' attorney did not immediately return phone messages Monday.
Re: NFL News and Notes Week 5
Niners QB Alex Smith out for Sunday, but won't need surgery
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Quarterback Alex Smith will miss the San Francisco 49ers' game against Baltimore on Sunday, but won't need surgery on his separated right shoulder.
Coach Mike Nolan said Monday the 49ers won't set a target return date for Smith until Thursday, when the swelling subsides in his shoulder.
Though similar injuries sometimes require two to three months of recovery, Nolan expressed hope Smith might even return by Oct. 21, when the 49ers visit the New York Giants in their first game after a bye week.
Smith was hurt on the third play of the 49ers' 23-3 loss to Seattle on Sunday when 308-pound defensive tackle Rocky Bernard landed on him while sacking him.
Trent Dilfer, who got his first game action since 2005 in relief of Smith, will get the start against the Ravens, the team Dilfer led to its only Super Bowl victory.
Re: NFL News and Notes Week 5
Rams' Jackson to miss another week
October 1st, 2007
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson will miss his second straight game because of a partial tear of his groin.
Rams head coach Scott Linehan made the announcement at his Monday press conference, adding that Jackson's injury is improving.
Jackson suffered the injury in Week 3's 24-3 loss at Tampa Bay. He ended the game with a 115 yards on 30 carries, but was hurt after making a cut late in the game. He has rushed for 233 yards on 69 carries in three games this season
Linehan added at his press conference that the team was still awaiting MRI results on players who were injured in Sunday's 35-7 loss at Dallas. The most notable of the injured was wide receiver Isaac Bruce, who was initially diagnosed with a hamstring strain.
Also, defensive end Leonard Little is awaiting MRI results on his right knee.
In other news, Linehan said that he will continue to stick with Marc Bulger at quarterback despite the signal-caller's rib injury that he has played with most of the season.
"He (Bulger) was feeling better and had a much better week at practice last week," said Linehan. "I go back on past experience with the player and he played extremely well. We have to get him playing good again. That's a big part of what we have to do. He's getting healthier.
"We have to pick up the pieces. He's won a lot of games for us. He played extremely well for us last year and we haven't got him off and running yet this year. I take responsibility for that."
St. Louis is 0-4 this season and has scored just 39 points, which is the fewest among teams that have played four games this season.
Re: NFL News and Notes Week 5
Dolphins DT Holliday out 1-2 weeks
October 1st, 2007
Davie, FL (Sports Network) - Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Vonnie Holliday is expected to be sidelined the next 1-to-2 weeks due to a fractured right ankle.
Holliday hurt the ankle in the first quarter of a 35-17 loss at home against Oakland on Sunday.
Dolphins coach Cam Cameron said linebacker Channing Crowder, who suffered a sprained ankle, will be evaluated on Wednesday to determine his playing status for Sunday's game at Houston.
Re: NFL News and Notes Week 5
Seahawks' Pearman out for season, Wilson 1-2 weeks
October 1, 2007
Associated Press
KIRKLAND, Wash. (AP) -- Alvis Pearman, emerging as a valuable special teams player for the Seattle Seahawks, will miss the rest of this season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Pearman, a third-year player signed just before the season, will have surgery once the swelling goes down, coach Mike Holmgren said. Pearman was hurt in a pileup at the end of a special teams play during Sunday's 23-3 victory at San Francisco, which gave Seattle (3-1) early control of the NFC West.
He has played on kick coverage and returned three kickoffs this season.
"We are looking right now, as we speak, for someone to come in and replace him," Holmgren said. "Right now, he was kind of a unique guy and a very good special teams player. We'll see (about the impact).
"It's too bad. He was playing well."
Josh Wilson, the team's top draft choice in April who had three kickoff returns and was trying to break into the defensive secondary as a nickel back, will probably miss one-to-two weeks with an ankle injury.
Holmgren said he didn't know who would return kickoffs Sunday at Pittsburgh (3-1). Nate Burleson, who helped win the opening game against Tampa Bay with a 56-yard punt return, has also returned two kickoffs this season. Fellow wide receiver Ben Obomanu, who ran back a kickoff 22 yards against the 49ers, could also be a candidate.
Another special teamer, offensive lineman Ray Willis, will likely miss six weeks with a sprained knee. Holmgren said Willis, who was competing early in training camp for a starting job at right guard or right tackle, was blocking during a kick when someone hit him.
Running back Shaun Alexander is playing despite a cracked left wrist. The cast was smaller during the game at San Francisco, in which Alexander carried 25 times for 78 yards, but Holmgren said Alexander will continue to wear it indefinitely.
Re: NFL News and Notes Week 5
Bears sticking with Griese
October 1, 2007
Associated Press
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -- Different quarterback, same result.
The Chicago Bears hoped Brian Griese would spark their offense. Instead, he was no better than Rex Grossman.
Griese's performance in Sunday's 37-27 loss at Detroit probably raised as many questions as it answered, but coach Lovie Smith clarified a few issues on Monday.
"Brian is our quarterback, yes," he said when asked if Griese will start the next game.
Re: NFL News and Notes Week 5
Panthers notes | Morgan likely to miss Saints game
Carolina Panthers linebacker Dan Morgan said Monday he has a partially torn Achilles tendon in his right heel, but he does not expect to be out long.
Morgan said the tear is small and he wasn't sure when he would be able to play again. He is expected to miss Sunday's game at New Orleans.
"I messed it up a little bit," Morgan said of the tendon. "I didn't tear it all the way, but I tore it a little bit. It's nothing that's season-threatening."
He was wearing a cast on the foot.
"I get it off sometime this week," he said. "After that I'm not sure (on recovery time)."
He injured the heel in the Atlanta game on Sept. 23, but said he has had some inflammation in the area since training camp.
"I never experienced any Achilles' (problems), so I wasn't sure what it was, but I felt something," he said.
Carr takes blame for stalled offense
Quarterback David Carr, who started in place of injured Jake Delhomme in Sunday's 20-7 loss to Tampa Bay, said the team's passing struggles were his fault."It'll be better next week; I know that," he said Monday. Carr was 19-for-41 for 155 yards.
"That was one of the worst games I've played in a while," he said. "I didn't feel like I was comfortable back there; I never really got in synch. I blame myself."
The biggest problem?
"Just consistency, man," he said. "We've just got to somehow get a little brainwave going between me and some of the wideouts. And that's just going to take time."
"It's more me. I've just got to get a feeling for what (receiver Steve Smith is) doing, because he's the best receiver in the NFL. And we've just got to find a way to get him the ball."
Peppers not slowed by illness, Fox says
Coach John Fox was asked if the illness Carolina defensive end Julius Peppers experienced in training camp might be responsible for what is perceived by many as a slow start. Peppers has no sacks through four games.
"Not to my knowledge," Fox said.
Had that illness reduced Peppers' strength at all?
"You'd have to ask him that," Fox said. "His weight is not way down from what it was."
Peppers was briefly in the locker room Monday, but declined to talk, saying he had to get to a meeting.
Running back Nick Goings suffered a concussion Sunday.
Re: NFL News and Notes Week 5
Bengals put LB Marshall on IR
October 2, 2007
CINCINNATI (AP) -The Bengals placed linebacker Lemar Marshall on injured reserve Tuesday, a day after he tore the Achilles' tendon in his left leg during a 34-13 loss to New England.
The Bengals replaced him by claiming linebacker Corey Mays off waivers from New England. The second-year player appeared in eight games for the Patriots last season, and was placed on waivers before Monday night's game.
Marshall's injury left the Bengals decimated at linebacker. Middle linebackers Ahmad Brooks and Caleb Miller were inactive because of injuries, and linebacker Landon Johnson also sustained an eye injury during the game.
At times, the Bengals had only one linebacker on the field.
The Bengals (1-3) are in their bye week, giving them time to heal before a game at Kansas City.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu and nose tackle Casey Hampton, forced out of the Arizona game with injuries, are expected to play Sunday against Seattle.
"All indications are that they will be fine," coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday.
The Steelers aren't as certain about four-time Pro Bowl receiver Hines Ward, who missed only his fourth game in 10 seasons Sunday because of a sprained knee. He will begin the practice work week Wednesday listed as day to day.
"He had a good day of rehab," Tomlin said. "I spoke with him and he feels good. We will take it day to day and see where he is. We'll do what's smart in that area, but that decision will be determined later in the week."
While Polamalu and Hampton couldn't finish the Steelers' 21-14 loss to the Cardinals, Tomlin did not initially list them when he reviewed the team's injuries at his weekly news conference.
"We expect these guys to be OK," Tomlin said.
Also expected back is rookie tight end Matt Spaeth, who has missed two games with a bruised quadriceps after catching a touchdown pass in each of the Steelers' first two games.
However, the Steelers will go against the Seahawks (3-1) without cornerback Bryant McFadden, who has a severely sprained ankle that could sideline him a month.
McFadden, the primary backup to starters Deshea Townsend and Ike Taylor, will be replaced in extra-back alignments by rookie William Gay or fourth-year defensive back Ricardo Colclough.
The injuries to Polamalu and Hampton left the Steelers (3-1) without two Pro Bowl defensive players during what became their first loss of the season, with Arizona rallying from a 7-0 deficit by scoring 21 consecutive points.
Polamalu strained an abdominal muscle while recovering a fumble in the second quarter and Hampton injured a hamstring.
Ben Roethlisberger also bruised his foot when someone stepped on it, but Tomlin said it "no big deal" although the quarterback may not go through a full practice Wednesday.

Feeling the Payne: Bears place safety on IR
October 2nd, 2007
Lake Forest, IL (Sports Network) - The Chicago Bears placed safety Kevin Payne on injured reserve Tuesday with an arm injury.
Payne, a fifth-round pick in this year's draft out of Louisiana-Monroe, played in three games this season and started Sunday against Detroit. He totaled six defensive tackles and two special teams tackles.
To fill his spot on the roster, the Bears elevated safety Josh Gattis to the active roster from the practice squad.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Philadelphia Eagles starting left guard Todd Herremans had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Tuesday.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Peter DeLuca, and the Eagles (1-3) said a timetable for Herremans' return will be decided next week.
Herremans, a fourth-round draft pick out of Saginaw Valley State in 2005, has started 22 consecutive games.

Ferringo Examines Early Line Moves
by Robert Ferringo
It's time once again for that weekly waltz that occurs between our friends over at the Las Vegas Sports Consultants and the sharp gamblers that pry apart the early college football spreads. Essentially, the LVSC recommends the lines to their clients, the sportsbooks, each week and the books respond by posting a suitable opening number. The sharps then come along like ravenous wolves encircling a wounded animal, ready to pounce on any number that they feel displays weakness or vulnerability. The result is an early week steam move on those seemingly weak lines, and that helps set the number that a majority of bettors in the general public will then have to wager on.
Just as there is a science and an art to setting the lines, it also requires a certain amount of skill to be able to red these opening line movements. Like stockbrokers, handicappers and bettors can learn a lot about a game by the way the early line moves break. So while I am no J.P. Morgan, I am here to try to shed some light on some of the college football games with the most significant variance from the time of the spreads' release on Sunday to the open wagering on Monday morning.
Over the past two weeks the strongest initial college line movements have only precluded a win against the spread for the team getting heavy early action in four of 13 instances. Either the sharp money is getting a bit dull or the books are intent to short worthy favorites. To this point, sharp action has gone 14-14 against the spread in college movements and 12-7 ATS in the NFL movements. That's 26-21 ATS (55.3 percent) overall. Here are some of the most noticeable and significant early steam movements in both the college and pro football opening lines:
Miami at Houston (1 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 7)
Open: Houston -4.5.
Current: Houston -5.5.
I didn't think that the LVSC came up short on the Texans, but apparently the public disagrees. The Dolphins are a mess and it's pretty clear that Trent Green was done about four years ago. However, if this number touches six, which I believe it will, I really think that the value shifts back to Miami. File it under "Least Likely Things To Happen This Week", and given that dogs have been covering and winning outright at a torrid pace to start the season I think that's exactly why it could be a worthy play.
Seattle at Pittsburgh (1 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 7)
Open: 42.0.
Current: 39.0.
The Seahawks are just 1-3 against the total and have seen an average of just 35 total points in its opening four games. Pittsburgh has also stayed 'under' in two of its last three games with an average of just 39.5 points in its opening four games. Both clubs are in the top five in scoring defense, with only a combined 25 points allowed per game. Other than that, I don't know why the total is trailing downward. That being said, the Steelers are a spectacular 12-3-2 against the total in their last 17 home games.
Chicago at Green Bay (8 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 7)
Open: Green Bay -4.0.
Current: Green Bay -3.5.
Sharp action on the Bears? Hey, it's been that type of season. The Packers are 4-0 ATS while the Bears are 0-4. Clearly the early bettors are anticipating a reversal of both trends. Chicago is in complete Desperation Mode while the Pack is flying high. If healthy, Chicago's defense is strong enough to keep this one within a field goal and if Brian Griese can avoid the inexplicable mistakes he made last week I think they could win outright.

Portis's Injury Is Sprained Knee, Not Tendinitis
By Jason Reid
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, October 3, 2007; E05
The Washington Redskins yesterday clarified Coach Joe Gibbs's comments about the knee injury suffered by running back Clinton Portis during the team's loss to the New York Giants, saying Gibbs misspoke when he described it as being a recurrence of the condition that sidelined Portis almost all of the offseason and preseason.
Gibbs on Monday said Portis had experienced another bout of tendinitis in his right knee, prompting Portis to sit out the first practice after the Redskins returned from a bye week. Portis, however, bruised and sprained his right knee (a Grade 1 injury, the least severe sprain) in the 24-17 loss Sept. 23 at FedEx Field.
Bubba Tyer, director of sports medicine, shouldered responsibility for the confusion, explaining he had not updated Gibbs about Portis's status before Gibbs met with reporters after practice.
"I didn't tell the coach. I didn't clarify it before he talked," Tyer said. "He just assumed that it was tendinitis and the same thing. It was my fault that he didn't get the correct word out."
Gibbs did not say when Portis's injury occurred, but the Redskins "knew from the first quarter he had landed on his knee," Tyer said. Portis, who declined comment at Redskins Park, said on "The John Thompson Show" that he was injured in the second quarter. He was on the sideline for Washington's last two offensive plays of the game with the team trailing 24-17 and the ball on the Giants 1-yard line.
On third down, Ladell Betts ran left and was stopped for no gain. On fourth down, Betts ran left for a two-yard loss. Gibbs has described Portis and Betts as being "interchangeable," and Portis's injury was not a factor in determining which running back was on the field for the last offensive plays, Tyer said.
"A guy comes over [to the sideline] and we're looking at an injury, we make a decision, 'Should he be in there?' That was never discussed with Clinton," Tyer said. "There was never any discussion about holding him out."
Portis leads the team in rushing with 48 carries for 227 yards -- a 4.7-yard average per carry -- and three touchdowns. Betts has only 82 yards in 30 carries -- a 2.7-yard average -- without a touchdown.
On Thompson's radio show, Portis said he received treatment all week, is wearing a sleeve on his leg to reduce swelling and expects to play Sunday. Tyer also was optimistic Portis would be able to play against Detroit.
"Our hopes are that he'll be ready to play on Sunday," Tyer said. "We think he will be."
The Lions are 29th in total defense and 17th against the run. After rushing for 191 yards in a victory over Miami and 130 in a victory at Philadelphia, the Redskins had only 82 yards on 27 carries against the Giants, including 17 yards on 10 rushes in the second half. Portis had four carries for 15 yards after halftime.
"We're definitely a running team, and he's a big part of what we do," quarterback Jason Campbell said of Portis. "You want him out there, but you want to make sure he's healthy. It's a long season."
If Portis sits out against the Lions, the Redskins would rely more on Betts, who has not yet found his rhythm after rushing for a career-high 1,154 yards last season.
"No matter who's in there, whether it's Clinton or me, we're ready whenever the coaches call our number," Betts said. "As a running back, you want to carry the ball all the time, but you know that's not going to happen. You just have to keep making the most of your opportunities."
Redskins Notes: Wide receiver Santana Moss has not tested his injured groin by running on land, but he has run in a water tank while team medical personnel evaluate him. "He's doing better," Tyer said. "He's trying to get as much rest [by not participating in drills] and we're exercising him. . . . He feels fine doing that. We're taking him day-to- day and will do more tomorrow." . . . Safety Sean Taylor (bruised knee) is expected to participate in full drills this week. . . . Cornerback Fred Smoot (hamstring) may be limited in practice, but is expected to play after sitting out the last two games.

Niners QB Alex Smith out for Sunday, but won't need surgery
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Quarterback Alex Smith will miss the San Francisco 49ers' game against Baltimore on Sunday, but won't need surgery on his separated right shoulder.
Coach Mike Nolan said Monday the 49ers won't set a target return date for Smith until Thursday, when the swelling subsides in his shoulder.
Though similar injuries sometimes require two to three months of recovery, Nolan expressed hope Smith might even return by Oct. 21, when the 49ers visit the New York Giants in their first game after a bye week.
Smith was hurt on the third play of the 49ers' 23-3 loss to Seattle on Sunday when 308-pound defensive tackle Rocky Bernard landed on him while sacking him.
Trent Dilfer, who got his first game action since 2005 in relief of Smith, will get the start against the Ravens, the team Dilfer led to its only Super Bowl victory.
49ers: Smith's season in jeopardy
Alex Smith is seeking a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews after preliminary MRI results indicated he appears to have suffered a serious injury to tendons in his right shoulder in Sunday's game, a team source told ESPN.com. If the diagnosis performed at Stanford is confirmed by Andrews, the source said that it is expected Smith would opt to have corrective surgery immediately even though he would likely miss the rest of the season.
Re: NFL News and Notes Week 5
Rams bench Bulger for Frerotte
Associated Press
St. Louis Rams quarterback Marc Bulger, who has been playing with two broken ribs, will be replaced by backup Gus Frerotte for Sunday's home game against Arizona.
"Bulger is hurt, and Frerotte is the quarterback until Bulger's ribs heal," Rams spokesman Rick Smith said.
Coach Scott Linehan told both quarterbacks Tuesday.
The 36-year-old Frerotte started 15 games in 2005 for Miami, where Linehan was the offensive coordinator at the time. Bulger will be Frerotte's backup against the Cardinals (2-2) on Sunday.
"If he has to, he will play," Smith said.
It's unclear how long it will take Bulger to heal after injuring the ribs in the season-opening loss to Carolina.
Bulger, who signed a six-year, $65 million contract extension in training camp, has been playing behind a patchwork offensive line decimated by injuries. Left tackle Orlando Pace and guard Mark Setterstrom are out all season with injuries, and guard Richie Incognito has yet to play because of a high ankle sprain.
A two-time Pro Bowl player, Bulger has been ineffective most of the season, part of the reason the Rams are 0-4. In a 35-7 loss Sunday at Dallas, Bulger was 11-of-24 for 114 yards and an interception. St. Louis' lone score came on a punt return. In fact, the Rams haven't scored an offensive touchdown since Week 2.
The change at quarterback came after Linehan had said Sunday and Monday that Bulger gave the Rams the best chance to win.
Re: NFL News and Notes Week 5
Cards WR Boldin questionable
October 3rd, 2007
Tempe, AZ (Sports Network) - Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin did not participate in team practice on Wednesday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams.
Boldin missed last Sunday's 21-14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a sprained hip suffered in the Cardinals' 26-23 loss to Baltimore on September 23.
In three games this season, the Florida State product has 22 catches for 286 yards and three touchdowns.

Sell hutton please. Use Walker and Naughton instead. I also have Kaboul and Charlie in that position. Hutton has to go!!!
Gio to stay I believe he will shine next season. O'hara may stay if he 's willing to be a squad member of a team competing in champions league. If not, then sell him quick at around 8 millions at least.

In light of an NBA lockout where not only are the players not earning their usual paychecks, but also all of the employees at all levels of NBA basketball operations are no longer receiving their usual income. This off-season, a number of players have demonstrated that they do have the capabilities to reach out and help others.
Indiana Pacer's dynamic forward Danny Granger is one of those guys. Considering the average NBA star can afford to miss a couple paychecks, the employees for these teams and their arenas most likely cannot. That is why Granger has invited every employee of Conseco Fieldhouse to dinner on him. This touching gesture is an example of how NBA stars have the ability to reach out to others in times of need. Although players like Luke Walton and Kobe Bryant have given the Staples Center employees actual cash gifts, Granger's act serves several purposes. Not only does it give these men and women an opportunity to dine for free and meet with their team's brightest star, but it also reminds the press, owners, and NBA players that there are so many deserving individuals who are being negatively affected by this lockout. Media outlets will hopefully use this story to evoke sentiment for all the lower class workers who need their paychecks from NBA owners to survive.
Danny Granger proves to be a star both on the court and off the court. His hard work has earned him much respect and recognition as one of the best young guys in the NBA. He will continue to improve and hopefully will continue helping those less fortunate in light of this horrible NBA lockout.

Manson offers free preview of 'Low'
Marilyn Manson is releasing his new single
We're From America from his upcoming album
The High End of Low as a free digital download.
The track will be available Friday exclusively at marilynmanson.com, Interscope said. It will be released as a digital single April 7 and the album is set to drop May 26.
Marilyn Manson's anticipated reunion with longtime friend and foil (musician and producer) Twiggy Ramirez inches closer with the release of 'We're From America,' the first listen from the forthcoming 'The High End of Low,' the record label said in a news release.
I think my life definitely ended and began. The record sounds very final, but it's almost optimistic — though that feels like a strange word to use. It's a phoenix from the fire and a redemption resurrection, Manson said in a statement.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
Well, it does abhor a vacuum. Which makes me think of something a friend said about Corporate Ghost, a worthwhile comp of SY videos from 1990 through 2002: She's always thought the band articulated empty space. I'm not sure I agree. But their late, great work especially, 1995's Washing Machine on, has the anarchic texture of emptiness filling upor something clogged emptying outa sloshing shapelessness, a piling on, cross-currents or spaghetti mounds of guitar corkscrews, funny melodies, yielding rhythms, and patchwork lyrics. Sonic Youth, taking arms against a sea of troubles, are the musical equivalent of mixed metaphors. As of 1998's A Thousand Leaves, they'd somehow mastered the tides. (On 2000's NYC Ghosts and Flowers, not so much.) Sonic Nurse, their first disc with Jim O'Rourke as a permanent member, percolates the same melancholy satisfaction and nervous maturity, entropy and growth, in and outbut with an urgency and impulsiveness that risks upsetting the balance.
There are snappy mix-tape cuts here: "Pattern Recognition" boasts a sharp guitar riff that could be a synth (not unlike that Strokes song "12:51"), taut bass-and-drum barreling like something off Goo, and a melodramatic chorus in which Kim Gordon yawps, cigarette-scraped, "You're the one!" The breakdown, a mini-masterpiece of macabre sensuality, isn't even gratuitous. The tunes aren't necessarily easy to digest, as when a clenched Kim raps a cautionary tale"Maybe you need an emo boy"; "How was your day with Eminem?"to young Goos in "Kim Gordon and the Arthur Doyle Hand Cream," which cobbles sassily cooed chorus, fireworks displays, and strange-key swoons. But the five mostly move with grace, painting warped landscapes that focus on details, brushstrokes, drips, and squirts.
This is the fake nature art: pastorals derived from NYC noise. Sonic Youth admire and support young experimentalists like Lightning Bolt, Black Dice, the Animal Collective, and White Magic (who will open for SY at Webster Hall August 14)vastly different bands, all city-dwelling, and all preoccupied in some way with the great outdoors. (The lovely two-minute intro to the bruise-hued "I Love You Golden Blue" pays homage to recent Black Dice.) Stylistically and subculturally, Sonic Youth are the Velvet Underground's inheritors, yet in their slack and sunny moments give off ambrosial whiffs of the Grateful Dead. In the fleecy, borderline-twangy drift "Stones," Thurston even intones, clear and casual, that "the dead are all right with me."
No surprise there; SY have always hosted phantoms. Chuck D didn't rap on Goo's "Kool Thing," he haunted the track, promising "fear." And what is feedback except a guitar's escaped spirit? In addition to evoking ladies' Halloween costumes, Richard Prince's album art paintings, a series of sexy RNs in sheer masks, are embedded with apparitions: a country house, a leering man. It's not fake nature art, but the force of Prince's delicacy exactly matches Sonic Nurse's best moments, the sighs of their moon-pulled tides, the spray off an ocean full of life. If that sounds like floetry, or fauxetry, well, of course it is. It takes a ghostwriter to truly simulate nature sucking.

Brandon Morrow thinks his growth was stunted in Seattle
Dec 23, 2009, 9:50 AM EDT
Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times caught up with Brandon Morrow before he left town for Toronto. Morrow's view of the world: he's happy about the trade because now Seattle can stop messing with his development as a starter:
"I was never really allowed to develop as a starter the way I and a lot
of other people thought I should be allowed to. Hopefully, this new chance means I get to develop as a starter more.
Changing roles has just been detrimental to me . . . As a reliever, you get your one inning and I was able to overpower a
lot of hitters. I think that was a big part of stunting my
development because I was allowed to overpower hitters with my
Of course, there's a decent chance that he would have spent more time in the minors had the M's not brought him up and featured him in the bullpen like they did. And he would have had a lot more mileage on his arm by now.
Neither of those facts change Morrow's point — the kid should be starting in my mind — but he'll benefit by reaching free agency at a younger age and with a fresher arm than he might have otherwise.
- dh - Dec 23, 2009 at 11:02 AM
I don't think being in the bullpen necessarily equals less mileage on a pitchers arm.
Starters learn to pace themselves for the long haul, where as relievers are sometimes asked to warmup, sit down, warm up more than once a game and then hit the mound "balls out" if you will, which may actually be more detrimental to one's throwing shoulder.
- Jerry - Dec 23, 2009 at 11:12 AM
The Mariner organization didn't define a role for Morrow, but let's not forget that at least one point in his development he asked to be switched to the bullpen and wanted to be the closer. Unfortunately his diabetis also hampered his abiltity to handle a starter's role. Still I really hate to lose Morrow. The Mariners didn't really need to add another reliever and a ".282 slugger" that couldn't make it past A-ball in four years. Mariners need quality starters. I've been with Jack Z up to this point, but I don't understand this trade.
- Wells - Dec 23, 2009 at 11:19 AM
I don't know- part of the story with Morrow was that he wanted to go to the bullpen because he felt it would fit better with his diabetes, that maybe he didn't have it in him to be a starter. These were his own words. Of course, he could have been echoing the company line and was all the while frustrated, but it seems a little disingenuous of him to lay the blame solely at the feet of the club. That being said- I love the kid and enjoyed watching him pitch, and look forward to continuing to follow him in Toronto.
- Eat a Peach - Dec 23, 2009 at 1:09 PM
For a hotshot prospect, they've been shopping him around for a long time. There's something wrong here, the Amazing Jack Z knows something that we don't.
When he says they stunted his growth, do you think he really means they didn't have anyone to get me HGH?

Despite a long and hard fought campaign, the battle to save our search and rescue (SAR) helicopter on Portland has failed.
It certainly was not through lack of trying, though, and I'd like to thank the many constituents and others who helped in the fight to retain it.
However, I can now announce plans for a compromise solution, whereby a commercial helicopter company might take over the site in 2017.
The company is called HeliOps, which trains and provides pilots and crews for a number of roles - see website www.helioperations.co.uk.
Importantly, highly skilled jobs, both in the air and on the ground, would remain on the island and SAR helicopters tasked to our waters could refuel there, saving precious time.
I must stress that this is not a done deal yet, although a lot of work has gone on behind the scenes, as you can imagine.
It's not the end that I, and I know all of you, wanted, but I hope to have snatched something from the fire which will see the base and its multi-million hangar continue to be used for what they were intended - helicopters.

Argentine courts to give Spain a taste of its own medicine
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating is associate editor at Foreign Policy and the editor of the Passport blog. He has worked as a researcher, editorial assistant, and deputy Web editor since joining the FP staff in 2007. In addition to being featured in Foreign Policy, his writing has been published by the Washington Post, Newsweek International, Radio Prague, the Center for Defense Information, and Romania's Adevarul newspaper. He has appeared as a commentator on CNN International, C-Span, ABC News, Al Jazeera, NPR, BBC radio, and others. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he studied comparative politics at Oberlin College.
Spanish investigative judge Baltasar Garzon has made a name for himself by prosecuting human rights abusers around the world — including former Chilean leader Augusto Pinochet — using universal jurisdiction to get around national amnesties. But Garzon is now himself being charged with abuse of power relating to an investigation of murder's and disappearances under the Franco regime. His supporters are now fighting back:
Lawyers representing Argentine relatives of three Spaniards and an Argentine killed during the 1936-39 war will ask the federal courts here Wednesday to open an investigation, and hope to add many more cases in the months to come.
So Garzon's supporters now hope to launch the same investigation – citing the same principles of international law – from Buenos Aires. And while Garzon limited the scope to crimes committed until 1952, the Argentine rights groups hope to address any state terror in Spain from 1936-1977, when its democracy was restored.
Attorney Carlos Slepoy, a specialist in human rights law, told The Associated Press the plaintiffs are invoking the principle of universal jurisdiction, which provides that genocide and crimes against humanity "can be prosecuted by the courts of any country.
The choice of Argentina is interesting since it was Garzon who led the charge to prosecute military figures there for crimes committed during the 1976-83 dictatorship.
Garzon is currently being charged with violating a 1977 amnesty law designed to help Spain move on from the Franco years. I don't know nearly enough to weigh in on the legal questions involved here, but politically it doesn't look very good that Spain was willing to let Garzon prosecute abuses in other countries for years, but became uncomfortable with his tactics as soon as he started poking around in his own country's dirty laundry. This type of challenge should have been expected.

Radha Jhatakia
Do you think your residence hall life is a little dull and in need of help...or so great that other schools could benefit from your programs? Either way, I have the perfect opportunity for you to let your voice be heard and maybe do some traveling. Ever heard of NACURH?
NACURH stands for the National Association of College and University Residence Halls and they are having a conference soon. At these conferences, you gain ideas to host different programs at your college, meet students from a wide array of schools and learn many new things. I personally haven't been to a NACURH conference yet but I attended a PACURH (Pacific Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls) conference at Washington State University in Pullman this past November and it was an amazing experience!
How do you get involved? I applied in September (the only requirement is that you live in university housing) and was selected as a delegate for San Jose State University. In the weeks leading up to the conference, we had many meetings to guide us through the tasks we had to accomplish and along with learning about new programs, delegates have to submit program ideas of their own – what a great way for you to share your ideas! Also, you have to show your school spirit so if you are proud of the college you attend, you can represent with school gear, chants and different competitions that will gain your delegation some points! The program I created for PACURH helped celebrate multiculturalism and was selected as a top 10 program – I was even able to present my program at the conference twice!
You won't get many opportunities like this to make a difference and learn something new while having the time of your life! If you're interested in NACURH or one of its affiliates, ask your residence hall government how you can get involved and start making a difference in residential life on your campus and beyond today!
Radha Jhatakia is a communications major at San Jose State University. She's a transfer student who had some ups and downs in school and many obstacles to face; these challenges – plus support from family, friends and cat – have only made Radha stronger and have given her the experience to help others with the same issues. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, reading, cooking, sewing and designing. A social butterfly, Radha hopes to work in public relations and marketing upon graduation.

Spending a semester abroad may not be feasible for students with rigid major requirements or ones who are aiming to graduate in the shortest amount of time possible to save on tuition. Instead of having students miss out on what could be one of the most rewarding experiences of their lives, schools like the University of Maryland are offering truncated programs called minimesters to foster international travel.
This winter alone, UMD's study abroad office offered 42 short-term programs to destinations including Costa Rica, Mexico and Thailand with courses covering government and politics, art history, architecture, education, geography and more. These trips are usually about three weeks in length and students (including the article's author, Elizabeth Roberts, who completed two minimesters to Chile and Brazil) have reported it's plenty of time to immerse themselves in the culture without sacrificing school, work and other obligations back home. This time abroad even causes some students to alter their educational directions: One UMD senior's minimester in South Africa last winter sparked an interest in health issues and has since translated into an internship with the Department of Health and Human Services in Washington, D.C.
Do you think a minimester is a good way to interact with the age of globalization without compromising progress toward graduation?

Justice GT Nanavati commission, which is probing the 2002 Gujarat riots, on Wednesday filed a review petition against the High Court order allowing the suspended IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt to inspect the state intelligence records.
"Commission can file a review petition and it has been already filed before the High Court today," Justice (retd) Nanavati told PTI in Ahmedabad this evening.
Earlier in the day, when Bhatt sought to inspect the documents following the High Court's order, the commission declined.
The High Court, on June 16, had directed the commission to allow Bhatt to inspect intelligence records, irrespective of whether they are classified or not.
In 2012, Bhatt and People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) had filed a Public Interest Litigation seeking access to riots-related intelligence records from Gujarat government.
Speaking to PTI earlier on Wednesday, Bhatt had said "the commission has again gone back to square one", and was "trying to protect the state".
"What it was doing behind the closed doors, now it will do it openly," he said, commenting on its refusal to give him access to intelligence documents.
Bhatt was in the news after he alleged in his affidavit before the Supreme Court that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, then the Chief Minister, asked the police to go soft on rioters when violence broke out across Gujarat following the train burning incident at Godhra in 2002.
