Beach volleyball making waves
What high school players are saying
Players comments on the start of high school beach volleyball:
Ivey Schmitt, 6-foot junior, Cathedral Catholic: "The first thing I did when I heard about this was to convince my friends to come out and play beach with me."
Paige Hines, 5-11 senior, La Costa Canyon: "The first time I tried beach volleyball I went home a few hours later and was passed out on the couch because I was so sore and tired."
Gabby Merino, 5-5 senior, La Jolla: "Once girls get started playing beach volleyball, they get hooked. That's what happened to me. If I had a choice, I'd play beach only."
Hailey Devlin, 6-2 junior, Scripps Ranch: "I've been waiting for this since I came to high school. I never thought this would happen for me. My parents said it would probably happen for my sister but not me."
For three years now, Cathedral Catholic High girls volleyball coach Kelly Drobeck casually has been gauging the interest in beach volleyball and what it would take for it to become an approved sport in San Diego.
An avid beach competitor who still plays at South Mission at least twice a week, Drobeck saw her interest pick up as the NCAA slowly moved toward fielding college beach teams.
The time for Drobeck to act came this spring.
Thanks to Drobeck and seven other schools, beach volleyball is being offered at the high school level, with the first matches scheduled today.
Beach volleyball still won't be an approved sport. It will operate as a club sport for now because there are not enough teams competing for it to qualify as a California Interscholastic Federation-approved sport.
Drobeck thinks it's only a matter of time, a short amount of time, before her passion takes off all over the state.
"I've talked about this with a lot of people for the last three years, wondering how do we go about starting this," Drobeck said. "The way it's going in college and with a lot of the indoor players we have already playing at the beach on Sundays, this seemed like the right time to do this.
"I anticipate a lot of coaches out there are going to jump in once they see how this first season goes. It wouldn't surprise me if we don't have at least 20 teams next spring."
La Costa Canyon coach Pat McDougall, whose team won the state Division I indoor crown in 2008, sees enormous potential in beach volleyball.
"It's only the beginning stages and there is a lot of upside to beach volleyball in Southern California," he said. "It's going to be a very popular sport in a very short period of time from here all the way to Santa Barbara.
"The reason is simple. Height is nice but not required. If you have 100 players as 10-year-olds, at least 80 of them will be back row players by high school because they're too short.
"Beach volleyball can be played by anyone and that's why it will take off at the high school level."

How do you define excellence on the racetrack? If you use the standard of races or trophies won, then this '62 Corvette not only meets it, but a picture of it could go in the dictionary next to the word "excellence."
Back in 1962, this C1 was the most dominant car in SCCA A/Production racing. It started 14 major races that year, including the Daytona Continental and the 12 Hours of Sebring, and scored 12 class and/or overall wins on its way to the SCCA's national A/Production title (see sidebar).
There was another purpose at work here, along with showcasing the then-latest version of America's Only True Sports Car on the racetrack. Grady Davis, who was Gulf Oil's head of research and development back then, had used Corvettes he owned as rolling test beds to study how well Gulf's lubricants stood up under on-track conditions that couldn't be duplicated in a conventional research laboratory. In essence, the car became the lab when it went to the track.
Davis had some help inside General Motors and Chevrolet in getting the car he wanted. "At that time, GM was 'officially' out of racing, but there was a lot of 'back door' stuff going on behind closed doors that no one really knew about," says Kevin Mackay of Corvette Repair, in Valley Stream, New York. "Those GM guys could've lost their jobs over it, but they did it anyway, and everything was hush-hush."
That meant selling a race-equipped car to a retail customer through a dealer. Guess which one?
"It was ordered out of Yenko Chevrolet," says Mackay. "Knowing that Gulf Oil research got involved with that car, and guys like Dr. Dick Thompson, Duncan Black, and Doc Wylie drove it; knowing that it had all the heavy-duty options on it like fuel injection, heavy-duty brakes, the endurance tank in the car-it's a pretty neat piece."
The heavy-duty equipment doesn't stop there. After the car was delivered through Yenko's to Davis, it received more updates and modifications to prepare it for endurance racing. The "endurance tank" Mackay mentioned was a special 37-gallon fiberglass one that replaced the RPO 488 24-gallon tank; the former necessitated a special rear window on the '62 hardtop to make room for the fuel filler. Also going on were an aluminum driver seat, a set of Stewart-Warner gauges, Plexiglas side windows, a Motorola two-way radio, FIA-specified outside marker lights, a longitudinal blue racing stripe, and blue paint for the '62's coves (as the factory two-tone paint option was dropped that year). At the same time, off came the stock front and rear bumpers, replaced by tubular steel ones located just under the valances.
When this C1 was race ready, it was shipped to Daytona, where it debuted in the Daytona National. With Dr. Dick Thompson driving, it came home Second in the A/Production class. Next up was the three-hour Daytona Continental a couple weeks later, where Thompson and this car scored their first A/Production win of the year.
Then, in March, with Doc Wylie and Duncan Black driving, it not only went the distance in the 12 Hours of Sebring, but it logged its second class win (and third podium finish) in a row.
However, a DNF the next time out likely led to the separation of the '62's original 327 from the car, replaced by another fuel-injected 327. "They had a problem with the engine, and they just pulled it out and put a replacement block in there and ran with that block all these years," says Mackay. With the new engine, the No. 2 car, with Thompson driving, reeled off 10 more first-in-class finishes, with the '62 record adding up to a total of 10 wins in 14 starts.
The end of the 1962 season marked the end of the line for this car and Davis. As he had in seasons past, Davis sold off the "old" car to Tony Denman (who'd then race his hand-me-downs the following year), and replaced it with an all-new RPO Z06-equipped Sting Ray-the first factory Z06 split-window.

I just found out that I'm expecting. I'm curious — are there some medications I can't take now?
- Selena
You should steer clear of many medications during pregnancy. Even common over-the-counter (OTC) medications that are generally safe may be considered off-limits because of their potential effects on the baby. Certain prescription medications also may cause damage to the developing fetus. And herbal remedies and supplements can cause problems as well.
If you were prescribed a medication before you became pregnant for an illness, disease, or condition you still have, consult with your doctor, who can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks of continuing your prescription. Let any health care provider that you see know that you're pregnant.
And check with your doctor before taking any medicines (including prescriptions, OTC medicines, herbal remedies, and supplements) to see which are safe to take during pregnancy, even if they seem like no big deal.

Christie McClung represents the third generation in her family to own a bridal shop.
Her grandmother, Kathy McClung, operated a bridal shop out of Haleyville, Ala. When she chose to sell it, her granddaughter and daughter-in-law purchased it and brought it to Navarre.
With help from her mother, Debra McClung, Christie offers a wide selection of bridal gowns, bride's maid gowns, formal and pageant gowns, as well as tuxedo rentals.
The recent University of West Florida graduate strives to keep the shop atmosphere casual, allowing for drop-in visits from shoppers. Brides don't have to make an appointment to find their special gown, although they are welcome to do so.
McClung carries gowns in a variety of price points, including a selection for budget-conscious brides. With the opening of the shop in March, McClung said she's been able to assist both the plan-ahead brides and the last-minute brides.
Although the young shop owner earned a degree in journalism, she said she's found an alternate path.
"It's not something I pictured myself doing," McClung said about owning the shop, "but I really love it. It's always nice when you love your job."
LOCATION: 1900 Highway 87, Suite E, Navarre, in Sand Dollar Plaza
HOURS: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays

Another opening in March came with Yevette's Canvass, a frame shop owned and operated by Toby Bishop.
"I pretty much frame anything tangible," Bishop said.
She took ownership of a now-closed frame shop, but not without experience. She had worked in the previous shop for five years, and she has corporate framing experience.
"When I worked for corporate, I couldn't give the good, old-fashioned service," Bishop said. "I was really hindered from that."
Her services include traditional framing as well as shadow boxes. She also offers a one-of-a-kind custom frame painting service.
"I sketch and paint in my free time," Bishop continued, adding that she can add personal touches to a frame.
Although Yevette's Canvass is a one-woman business, she focuses on her customers first. She preserves what has been entrusted to her.
"Everybody who walks through here — their art is sacred to me," she said.

I seriously need a Korn concert like right now!!! "Are you readyyyyy?!?!?" I'm craving a Korn concert!!!!! Aaahhhh
Here's a link to a video J Devil shared of a fan made video of the Lizard Lounge show in Dallas TX July 13, 2012!!! That's me left stage front :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdJAojkuxdc The video was shot by Clinton Lane =)
I saw JDevil yesterday in Dallas, TX :D!! I had such a great time. God I loveee his music! It's so great and has such an original sound! He performs with so much vigor and passion that I could barely take all the awesomeness, lol!! It was sooo amazing to see him play and I was pretty close to the stage. I took a few videos on my iphone and I admit the quality isnt that good but check 'em out...
Epic day that day was.
This just popped in my head, out of nowhere, and I couldn't stop laughing! When I was a little kid my bro and sis and I used to put on Indiana Jones and the temple of doom - the sacrifice part- and call random numbers out of the phone book and put the phone up to the speaker. Take a look. We were such crazy kids lol I loved my childhood :D
My day started off with a real bang today! (lol) So I woke up with a bit of a hang over and was feeling hungry but really didnt' feel like eating anything (weird I know) So I decided just protein would be good enough. I put some water in a pan and two eggs. I turned one of the stove tops on high and placed the pan on it. K. I brought my jug of water to the living room and turned on the tv. The...
with Jack White some day. I can imagine a fusion of Korn's raw sound, a heavy bass electro influence, and the bluesy and sassy style of Jack White. Yes, my dreams get wet at times..
I'm at work watching the news. Whitney Houston dead at 48. My first thoughts are omgg that's sooo sad and crazy- this is on par with MJ! My next thought is damn crack is whack ! I'm thinking she either died of a cardiac arrest from years of crack abuse or a drug overdose. Poor Whitney she sang so beautifully and was very talented :/
I am so glad, back in 98, MTV's TRL played Freak On a Leash. I remember seeing that video for the first time it just freaking blew me away. That bullet flying threw everything was such an amazing concept for me and I completely fell head over heels for Jonathan's gaunt, pale look and voice. (God I love capricorns) I would literally sit and watch TRL every day just to see the video! I voted so...

I have the original gamebox of "Medal of Honor Airborne", where the system requirements state that the game cannot be played on Windows Vista 64-bit. Why are some games not supported on 64-bit operating systems?
32 bit games can run 64 bit Windows, typically without any issues. Older 16 bit games designed for Windows XP or earlier will not run on Windows Vista/7 64 bit.
Many times, software and games will claim they do not run on a particular operating system (Windows Vista 64 bit in this case) simply because they don't want to allocate resources to test on that particular system or support it. According to this forum post, Medal of Honor: Airborne runs just fine on Vista 64 bit.
For some games (not all unfortunately) that worked well in previous Windows versions (e.g. Windows XP), in Vista or Windows 7 you have the possibility to start the game in compatibility mode.
Just right-click on the executable, select Properties and in the Compatibilty tab choose Windows XP and try. Same for installers.
You can also try to run the software in Windows 7's XP-mode, which simulates a complete and independent Windows XP within your machine.

Early in the '66 model year, the 427ci L72 engine was rated 450 hp at 6,400 rpm. Not long after production began, the rating was lowered to 425 hp at 5,600 rpm. There were no changes to the engine, but Chevrolet's central office apparently realized that 450 hp would attract the attention of safety minded politicians and insurance companies. Also, there seemed to be an unwritten agreement between Ford, Chrysler, and GM that no engine would be rated over 425 hp no matter how powerful it was. In 1967, Chevy broke that rule by rating the L71 (triple two-barrel carb, solid-lifter, 427ci) engine at 435 hp. The L71 was identical to the '66 L72 except for the intake system. The L72 had one four-barrel carburetor compared to the L71's Tri-power setup.
Over the years there has been much speculation about the actual horsepower output of these two engines. Some people believed the L71 made nearly 500 gross horsepower. However, performance and dynamometer numbers seem to tell a different story. All known magazine quarter-mile times for L71- and L72-equipped Corvettes averaged 13.38 seconds at 107.94 miles per hour. For cars of equal weight, quarter-mile trap speeds are an excellent indicator of horsepower. Magazine tests of LS1-equipped C5 Corvettes had the same trap speeds as L71 and L72 Corvettes (see sidebar). Because big-block C2 Corvettes are nearly the same weight as a C5, we can assume they equal the 345 to 350 SAE net horsepower that LS1 engines make.
In "Big-Block Power Tune" (Nov. '06), Corvette Fever chronicled a meticulous dyno tune on a correctly restored '66 L72 Corvette in order to determine horsepower gain from the tune. Before the dyno tune, the engine produced 289 rear-wheel horsepower (rwhp) at 5,000 rpm and 331 lb-ft of torque at 3,800 rpm. After the dyno tune the output went up to 301 rwhp at 5,000 rpm and 342 lb-ft of torque at 3,800 rpm. This car was restored to showroom original condition for acceptable street operation and was equipped with the (more restrictive) N14 side-mount exhaust system. A standard under-car exhaust would most likely have resulted in somewhat higher numbers, probably at a higher rpm. Maximum horsepower was reached at 5,000 rather than closer to 6,400 rpm, where an open exhaust would have produced peak power. On average, the 345 net hp LS1 engine also produces 300 rwhp. Equal rwhp for both the LS1 and L72 translates to 345 net horsepower for the L72.
Enter the 454
For the '70 model year, Chevrolet developed 454ci engines to replace the 427. (See the accompanying chart for the 427s, their 454 replacements, and power ratings.) With preparation for their introduction well underway, all 454 engines except the LS5 and LS6 were cancelled due to GM's de-proliferation program to eliminate costly options as well as high insurance rates, and top management's desire to tone down horsepower. Eliminating the Corvette's LJ1, LJ2, LS7, and LT2 engines from production was untimely, as it was too late to put the LS6 on the Corvette option list. These cancellations left Corvette in the unusual position of having less power than the '70 SS454 Chevelle, for which the LS6 remained an option. Chevrolet corrected this the following year by making a lower compression, 425hp version of the LS6 an option for the '71 Corvette while deleting it from the Chevelle's option list.
To prepare customers for the 1972 switchover from the gross to net method of rating horsepower, Chevrolet reported both gross and net ratings for '71 Corvette engines. The Corvette LS6 received a 425 gross and 325 net hp rating. The gross-to-net conversion factor for that engine was 0.7647 (325/425), which can be used to convert our previously determined 345 net hp for the L72 to a gross rating. Using that factor we come up with a gross rating of 451 hp (345/0.7647 = 451.16) for the L72, which for all practical purposes is exactly the same rating Chevy initially gave the engine.

I just bought the new Acer 23" IPS 10-point touch monitor from Best Buy. I must say it was quite a nice purchase. The edge to edge glass makes it look very slick and the display is nice and bright and colorful. The touch features are amazing and really complete the Windows 8 experience on the desktop. I find myself in Metro way more now using my fingers to navigate, pinch to zoom, etc. I spent about an hour playing Microsoft's Solitaire Collection with my finger only to get a feel for the ergonomics of reaching out your hand in front of you. It does fatigue the arm a little but not as much as you might think. I played the game and still went about playing with Metro for 2 hours and my arm did suffer any ill effects. This touch monitor in my opinion won't replace the mouse and keyboard on a desktop but the touch features compliment the whole experience very nicely. I can use my mouse for a bunch of tasks and then just touch the monitor and go to metro and use whatever metro app I wanted. It does seem that many apps are not touch ready and I hope they will be. I booted up Photoshop to see if I could pinch to zoom, but no go. Google Earth also has no touch support, although you can use it in a limited way with touch as a replacement for the mouse, but you can't pinch to zoom, rotate, or do the other things like you can on the tablet version. Hopefully Google will come out with a Metro version fully supporting Windows 8 gestures. Another cool thing, which I think may be a feature of Windows 8, is visual feedback of your fingers on the screen. If I put all 10 fingers on screen, I see 10 points of light on screen showing where I am touching.
In summary, the Acer T232HL has an astounding 1920 X 1080 IPS display with extremely wide viewing angles, very nice response time for gaming, and flawless touch support for Windows 8. The price is a little steep at $499 for a 23" display, but I found it well worth it based on the touch capabilities.

Peyton at 37—The Best From the Best
Peyton Manning is surpassing even the highest peaks he himself set, and someone who knows him well thinks it's only gonna get better. Plus, more Week 4 thoughts and Andy Benoit's quarter-way All-Pro team
On a beautiful day in Denver, it was hard to imagine Peyton Manning being better. Ever. We've been saying that for a month now, since the seven-touchdown-pass extravaganza on a stormy opening Thursday night rout of the Ravens. But Sunday, the 37-year-old quarterback living out his wildest dreams continued this run of greatness that is unprecedented even to him.
On Manning's final four touchdown drives of the day against Philadelphia, Denver never ran a third-down play.
Denver had 12 second downs on the four drives. Manning converted all of them into first downs.
Eleven plays, 80 yards. Ten plays, 80 yards. Eight plays, 80 yards. Seven plays, 65 yards.
That's 36 plays, 28 points, 305 yards. And no third downs.
Ninety minutes after the 52-20 victory over Philadelphia, I told one of the four musketeers Manning uses as his weapons, wide receiver Eric Decker, about the no-third-down thing. He paused for three or four seconds, taking it in, then said: "That is crazy. Crazy. But our mentality is to convert everything. First down, second down, first down, touchdown.''
Another pause. "I have to say, hearing that is really rewarding,'' Decker said.
I hear this on Twitter and email all the time: Enough of Peyton Manning! Not today. Sunday was Manning's 228th regular season game, and would you believe me if I told you that, at an age two years past when Terry Bradshaw retired, he is in the midst of the best playing stretch of his career? You can look it up. Over a four-game span, Manning has never been better, and it's not very close. Ranked by passer rating, here are the best four-game stretches of Manning's career:
"I'll tell you what's scary,'' said Tony Dungy, Manning's coach in that 2004 season, in the NBC Football Night in America green room Sunday night. "Peyton will be better in November. He's still getting used to his receivers, I can tell you, the longer he works with guys, the better they'll all be.''
Manning has been working with two of his four receivers, Decker and DeMaryius Thomas, for 18 months. He's been working with the other two, Wes Welker and tight end Julius Thomas, for six months—though he did have some time with Julius Thomas just after he signed in March 2012, before the tight end underwent ankle surgery that limited him to four games in '12—and zero catches.
Dungy disagreed with me about this Sunday night, but I think one factor in Manning's favor is having Thomas, Thomas, Welker and Decker together as his receiving weapons. In Indianapolis he usually had three big ones together: Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and either Brandon Stokley or Dallas Clark. (Stokley and Clark were Colts from 2003 to '06, but Clark didn't emerge as a big receiving threat until after Stokley left for Denver in 2007.)
"I think a big part of it is we all want to win for this guy,'' said Decker. "The line plays like, 'Don't let Peyton get hit.' The receivers are like, 'Run that route exactly the way it should be run.' It goes to defense and special teams too. It's a sign of unselfishness. I also think it has to do with our expectations. Even after a game like this, the attitude in the locker room was, 'That was good, not great.' That's Peyton.''
This afternoon, after a brief workout and some weightlifting, all of the Denver offensive players will gather in a Broncos meeting room. No coaches, just players. For one to two hours (the time varies; when they're finished they're finished), the players will look at the tape of Sunday's games. They started this in Manning's first year last fall. Anyone can speak up about anything. Communication on the field will be discussed. Audibles will be discussed. Route-running, blocking and blitz pickup … everything they see from every offensive snap.
"Peyton is kind of the leader of the session,'' said Decker. "It's an open forum. You got something good to say, say it. You got something to correct about somebody else, say it. We're the players. We're out there. Coaches are great, but we're the ones out there with the game going so fast trying to figure things out on the fly. It's a great thing for us to be able to talk among ourselves and make the corrections we need to make to get better. I'm a fan of it."
In the first game of the season, against Baltimore, Julius Thomas caught a pass on a seam route and took a big hit from a Baltimore safety. Said Thomas: "When we came in and reviewed the game film, he's like, 'Do you understand that seam route?' I'm like, 'Yeah, yeah.' He texted me a couple of days while we were practicing for the New York Giants and he said, 'You know, I'm really liking the way you're running these seam routes—they're a lot better.' I just texted him back and said, 'Your mom only has to tell you one time that the stove is hot.' The message was delivered by the safety from Baltimore: I've got to run these routes just a little bit differently so I don't have to keep taking these hits. It just shows you how well he knows the game.''
What's next? The Cowboys, at Dallas. Manning's onto the Dallas defense, with Cover 2 coordinator Monte Kiffin this week's challenge. Cover 2: The Indianapolis defense favored by his old coach. Dungy was smiling Sunday night at the thought of it. "Peyton only practiced against that defense every day with us for years,'' said Dungy.
Maybe Kiffin can force Manning to convert a third down. That'd be one small victory.
The Dot-Dot-Dot Section
Yes, Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman ran the game-tying interception at Houston back 58 yards with one shoe on. He told me that when the Seahawks were down 20-3 at halftime, "The locker room was fine. Upbeat. You're molded, you're shaped by fire from games like this. We showed we could grind out a game on the road against a great team." … Seattle at home: 'Hawks 74, Foes 20. Seattle on the road: 'Hawks 35, Foes 27 … I don't care what they say: The Houston Texans have to be having grave doubts about quarterback Matt Schaub's ability to win a Super Bowl. That's three straight games with Schaub throwing a pick-6 … You saw the instant replay snafu last night, probably, with Bill Belichick steaming about the Julio Jones catch that couldn't be reviewed. The rules when the replay system goes haywire: When the system is down during a challenge the referee has to stay at the monitor for two minutes while the replay technician attempts to fix the issue. If it is not fixed during that time period there is no challenge and no charged timeout. That's what happened in Atlanta. If the system becomes operational during the two-minute period, the replay can commence. I doubt there'd have been enough evidence to overturn the Jones catch anyway … In the span of three plays of the second half, the Patriots got key plays from three players not on the team at this time last year—a touchdown catch by Kenbrell Thompkins, an interception by Aqib Talib and a 24-yard catch leading to a field goal by fourth-round rookie receiver Josh Boyce. The longer Tom Brady can work with these guys, the better New England will be … So I had The MMQB's analytics ace, Andy Benoit, post his All-Pro team through a quarter of the season, which you'll see on the next page. My awards at the quarter pole: MVP and Offensive Player, Peyton Manning (no kidding!); Defensive Player, Ndamukong Suh; Offensive and Defensive Rookies, DeAndre Hopkins and Kiko Alonso; Coach, Bill Belichick … Rob Chudzinski on the Browns' two-game streak: "Brian Hoyer's got the knack to know where to go with the ball like a veteran. Having Josh Gordon back really helps. On defense, Barkevious Mingo's energy has been huge for us, and Joe Haden's taken on a great receiver every week and really been strong.''
Looking ahead to the 9-0 Bowl.
It is ridiculously early. But in seven weeks, on Nov. 17, there could be a beautiful game in Denver: The 9-0 Broncos hosting 9-0 Kansas City. And two weeks after that, a beautiful rematch at Arrowhead Stadum. Check out the two schedules before then:
Postscript: Denver travels to New England in Week 12. Imagine Denver playing a 9-0 bowl against Kansas City one week, then a 10-0 bowl against the Patriots the next.
Funny thing. Lots of NFL things that look so intriguing in September usually get blown up in October.
this kind of over-reaching, over-sensationalized butt-kissing in week 4 is a complete waste of time.
Belicheck didn't need as many seasons to match Chuck Noll, but Noll's teams didn't play as many games in a regular season. You forgot to mention that.
As for the Haiku, come on Peter! You're usually better then that! Four games in, a re-building Philly is 1-3, with loses to a resurgent San Diego and Kanas City and what is turning out to be a "best team ever?" Broncos. I'm not saying Eagles don't have issues, but the AFC West is the best division in football. If you were predicting Philly as a playoff team this year, well, that's on you buddy!
Football needs more Manning charactors and and less of the divas and jail bait. And yes, you can be a diva jail bait person all-in-one.
National media will hype Peyton Manning until Broncos season ends ... but Russell Wilson is the best QB in the league.
Seahawks would be 2-2 without him.
Don't comment if you haven't WATCHED the Houston game ... the stats don't tell the story.
He's doing it with 80% of his OL on IR
Peyton's pace is ludicrous! Gotta love it. So with Winter on the way, will he stay the league's top passer? How about in fantasy? See what the Commish thinks!
you know it's been a bad week for the cowboys when Peter "the Cowboys Hating" King actually puts a positive note along side the listing of dallas at 13 on the fine 15 (note about Sean Lee's 18 tackles). But not to be too positive about the cowboys, King puts a post about the jerry letting lottery winners inside the draft war room. Note what's more important is that $40Mil is used for education. This should be the highlight, instead of making fun of jerry letting someone see the draft board. maybe jerry see's the NFL for what it really is..... entertainment and money making, nothing more. but at least it did help the cowboy hater King post something derogatory about the cowboys. What would a MMQB be without something negative about the cowboys from King.
Honestly, who was stupid enough to hire Lame Kitten in the first place? I know Al Davis does some very unconventional things, but why would ANYONE hire Kiffin after the debacle with the Raiders? He's clearly not suited to be anything other than a position coach in college, or possibly an assistant coach in high school.
Peyton's problem is home field advantage now. I'm not sure 2 home games in freezing and possibly snowy weather is in his favor. Then the Super Bowl in New Jersey. Does anyone really think Peyton is going to win 3 straight cold weather games against the top competition in the NFL?
"What team is going to pay good money for a 53 percent passer (since the start of 2012) who goes renegade on a team when times are tough?"
Trick question. It's Houston isn't it?
Seems to me the media especially is trashing Freeman and giving Schiano a good ole boys break .He is a horrible coach with that rah rah college I'm the new Vince Lombardi mentality . Especially after leaks about the drug program and not revealing it was for medical reasons
Go see 20 feet from Stardom a great Doc about backup singers in pop and rock outstanding movie
Guess so. At this rate Peyton will reach the 60 td range in a league where mid to high 20's can put any QB in pro bowl
King was right, Miami got its butt whipped and today number 9 spot looks extremely generous. The Dolphins were unable to handle the spotlight of being 3-0 and had rookie written all over: the terrible outfit (sue the designer!); Tannehill; a run defense that barely made it to the game. Another game like the one last night and fin fans nightmares will drown us in the mid to late twenties standings, something we thought we were leaving behind.
Well credit where credit is due...the bizarre font-size problem seems to have been fixed this week. Better editing seems to have taken place, as well. Much cleaner this time-- credit to your team.
As a matter of fact, I only really have one complaint, and it isn't even about you (directly, anyway). It's to all the clowns who failed to draft Joe Fauria, as referenced in his "Tweet of the Week" comment. Just sad and embarrassing really that this guy somehow missed the cut. A living testament to how little attention the rest of the country *actually* pays to Pac 12 football (there are teams besides USC, Oregon, and Stanford). ANYBODY who watched so much as a 2-3 UCLA games last year could have told you this guy would be a steal as a 3rd rounder, let alone undrafted. Baffling case of scouts focusing in the wrong places-- particularly considering what a sexy thing a good target tight end has become in today's NFL
Can you turn off those annoying Microsoft ads that are blocking your article? How do we turn them off.
Other than that......I love your incites!
Could you turn off those annoying Microsoft ads that we can't close.
I am sure someone will quickly correct me, but if in fact Peyton Manning had stem cell therapy on the injured nerves in his throwing arm, then MOST of his body is 37 years old, but PARTS of his body may not be. In fact, the most important parts in relation to playing football may be much improved.
Muscle performance is a combination of the physical characteristics of the muscle, and the ability of nerve enervation to control those muscles. I hope the guy blows away every NFL QB record there is - it's good for the game, and I like to watch his mastery on the field. But, next season the NFL has got to come to terms with non-PED augmentation issues.
It is not far fetched to think that other players will (or already have) receive stem cell therapy on a systematic basis to improve muscle tone, recovery from injury, and muscle performance. At the athletic level that most NFL players achieve, already far beyond that of mere mortal men, stem cell therapy represents an undetectable avenue of performance enhancement that in the future may make traditional PEDs obsolete.
Again, if in fact he did have some stem cell treatment, I am perplexed as to why the sports media has so far been quiet in linking his outstanding ability and the means by which he medically treated his throwing nerves.
Oh, and by the way, we have already seen players who got better as they got older...Clemens and Bonds!
Dungy should not be in the Hall of Fame just because he sabotaged each Colts postseason by sitting everybody for a few weeks.
Yes. I perfectly understand why Suh was not named 1 of your defensive players of the week.
Why is it that no one is questioning Peyton?
Athlete has career threatening surgery, comes back at 37 an is having the best season of his career. Nah nothing there sounds suspicious, lets fete him a hero and bow down before him.
What will the media do if it turns out Manning is on something?
I have read and seen COUNTLESS stories about Peyton Manning and his great start to the year. I have read two stories regarding a player LOSING A PORTION OF HIS FINGER!!! And this is deemed excessive!?!??!?! Actually, probably is.... NOT AT ALL EXCESSIVE!!!! Just grow that finger back and move on, sissy.
Short Term 12. Really goo,d small film about a half way house for teenagers. Brie Larson, as the supervisor of the facility, gives an amazing performance.
PK has wet dreams about Peyton Manning
As a comparison, that was the Andy Reid built defense that allowed 52 Peyton Points.
That was Romeo Crennel's defense that has held opponents to 10.25 points per game.
Reid might the 2013 winner of the John Gruden, "Looking good with someone else's team" award. Difference of course is that Reid, unlike Gruden, has a solid rep of building good teams which Gruden does not. But Reid inherited a much better base in KC than he left in Philly.
So for the All-Pro team Forte is ahead of AP and Shady because they're team records are worse? Oh and then there's Troy Polomalu, who's team is win less and hasn't even forced a turnover and he's ahead of Earl Thomas who is on an undefeated team with the best D.
It's a sin that AP isn't first for All Pro list and that Earl Thomas and Eric Berry (best two safeties in the league) aren't there together.
& sorry, but god bless Hall of Famer Marv Levy & his 4 Super Bowl losses...but Jimmy Johnson won 3 Super Bowls essentially, beating Levy for 2 of them...& he doesn't SNIFF the Hall? Peter, use your power...you know better...
Yeah, I'm sorry, Jimmy Johnson not in the Hall is a travesty for one reason only...HE WAS THE COACH *&* GM---Jerra Jones did not draft those players or build those teams, no matter the title, & the fact the Cowboys have been resolutely mediocre since Johnson left, even with all the funds in the world, really does say something. The fact that more GMs aren't in the Hall is a joke, & one of the pound-for-pound best GM/coaches ever not getting in is so silly as to be laughable. Dungy deserves to be in eventually, but he won one Super Bowl, & he wasn't the GM of either Tampa Bay or Indianapolis.
I think Tony Dungy is a tough case for the HOF. He won lots of regular season games with tremendous talent in Tampa and Indy but won just one Super Bowl and had many early exits in the playoffs. Also, he never quite got the Colts defense right despite supposedly being a defensive mastermind. Further, Gruden winning in Tampa the year after Dungy left hurts his cause.
I live in southwestern Ontario and, as such, receive sports radio from Cleveland, Detroit, and Buffalo. I have grown accustomed to Monday mournings from WKNR, WFDN, and WGR respectively. This morning, though, nothing but accolades and celebration! So I got to wondering: when was the last time the Browns, Lions, and Bills all won in the same week?
Amazing how you didn't pick Matt Schaub as goat of the week or, at the very least, the co-goat of the week. Flacco's decisions may have been bad (a couple of the picks were unlucky), but you don't see the throw that Schaub chose to make--he wasn't under duress--at any level above high school. Put another way: can you imagine a certified NFL stud QB, such as Peyton Manning or Brady or Brees or Rivers or even Cutler, attempting that throw on his worst day?
@LittleOne4u Er. That's not normally how the term 'jail bait' is used, bud.
@LittleOne4u Mannings have a diva streak. Remember when the boys were drafted and Archie called San Diego and told them don't draft Eli because he won't play there? Can't get much more diva then that!
@GooGulsux seahawks would probably be 1-3 without him.
@donald5 Have you bothered to see his stats in cold weather? He continues to perform at high levels. Even in the Raven game the td he placed with Knowshone was perfect--even the commentators said that the weather was not effecting Peyton's arm. BUT he throws one interception and suddenly he can't play in cold weather--sounds like the same type of propaganda coming out of Obama's mouth
@Jesus Hitler Well these are the same "clowns" that all passed on Arian Foster as well. (the same guys who picked Fauria were clowns for whiffing on Foster, right?) Is this a living testament to how little attention the rest of the country pays to the SEC? Spare us the "nobody pays attention the PAC12 garbage". The scouts don't give a flying flip about ESPN contracts or when the games start. They watch the games regardless. Read his draft profile. A TE that gets tripped up a little too easily after the catch and does not block well in the run game. While he should have been drafted, I hardly see it as a travesty worth some completely tangential and off topic rant on the MMQB.
@Natick4 good point. we can build em faster stronger than ever before. Fast forward 10 yrs from now. Stem cell Manning just threw his 100th TD for the season
@Natick4 Re: Stem Cell Therapy ... definitely intriguing. Can you cite some proof or, failing that, a link to some reasonable speculation?
@FightingTard So, you would rather he not play?
@FightingTard Manning has never been the biggest, strongest, or fastest QB. PEDs don't make you any smarter and the only thing different with Manning at this point (post injury) is that he might be even smarter. He's not threading needles 20 yards downfield like he used to even but, he's as good as ever at reading defenses. His performance this year stems from extended familiarity with his teammates and his maturation as a QB (He could have won MVP #5 last year, and could get it this year).
@FightingTard He didn't just come back. He played last year. He has had time to heal and get work in with his receivers. His performance is not out of the ordinary for him. But yes, I agree that he is doping. the name of the drug? Wes Welker.
@liquidmuse3 You overly-officious jerk!
@liquidmuse3 Didn't Jimmy leave the Cowboys because Jerry Jones want him to relinquish the GM job?
@LarryYelen Larry, it was an incredibly stupid decision and play; however, he WAS under duress. Everything else you said was correct.
@TravisHastings @LittleOne4uSo you have one tiny example from only one of the brothers in, what, 26 combined seasons?
Some diva streak.
Anyway, that incident with Eli was more business-related than anything else; Archie was convinced San Diego would be a dire career move for Eli. So you can get *much* more 'diva' than that example, actually.
@GooGulsux but that doesn't make him the best QB in the league, just the one most valuable to his team. You're saying you'd turn down the chance to have Peyton, Brady, or Rodgers on your team?
@JahliSuwaghaman @FightingTard At this point he is a lock. I know, its early, but if he keeps this up, he is shattering records at the most important position and the team will go very very near undefeated. Who can match him this season when he has nearly twice as many TDs as the next guy? 4 TDs a game would come out to 64..round down and he can realistically go for 55 to 60. He would shatter the record by Brady.

From the website:
"This should run on any MIDP 2.0 phone, provided it supports the JSR-82 Bluetooth implementation.
•Basic settings allow you to easily change the way robots are controlled.
•No musical intros or fixed resolution settings.
I had a problem with the software on my nokia n95.
It said jar and jad file not correct.. Anyone else try it?
I tried both my Nokia 6260 and Nokia 6230i. Unfortunately they both didn't work.
Kind regards,
thanks for the feedback. I tested it on a Nokia 6111 and it worked well. I tried loading the jar file only though.
Does it execute at least once? Jilles, what says the error message you get on your phone?
I'll try to figure out what's going on and give you an update as soon as I get to it.
I looked at jad file and size doesn't match jar.
That might be one problem.
Anyone know if the I-Phone supports midp 2 / jsr-82?
I didn't think that the iphone had bluetooth, so you might not be able to use this. Mario, can you lead me to any tutorials for making mobile applications?
there is a tutorial and many resources you may need for mobile app development at
The iPhone has bluetooth but right now it only supports the audio profile. There is no support for java midlets nor for bluetooth data transfers.
Thanks for the tip about the jad file! It seems like my sdk didn't account the size of the graphics. I'll try to fix that. Still you should be able to load the program only with the .jar file.
hi there,
i downloaded a program from http://mindstorms.lego.com/Overview/Mobile%20Application.aspx
i chose the one for nokia 6680, and it's working on my nokia e51 smoothly.
WBR, Gyuri
i have tested it on Nokia 6300,and it can work well.Anyone who have problem,he must connect his NXT robot in the phone at first,then run the software to control the nxt
I now have it running on my nokia n95. Instead of using the install program I just copied the jad file to phone and run it on phone. I really like that it loses the intro music that lego's program has...
Thank you Mario!!
I thank you for all this feedback! I'll try to test more phones and update my app to make it as compatible as possible.
I have already added a small compatibility list at my homepage. I hope the list keeps growing.
Hi, i tried it on a N73 and i get the same error jad and jar didn't fit together. Have the program on the N73 a istalled it again and it works. I also tried it with a Nokia 6300 and i get the error message back illegal program...
Is there any help from the ones who manged it to work on a 6300?
I'm not sure why some Nokia phones declare the program as illegal. To avoid it try the following:
1. Transfer only the .jar file to your phone
2. Open the received files folder and start the app.
3. Close the app and go to the Program menu
4. Start the app again, this time it should stay as legal.
The problem I've seen happens if you try to start the app from the received files folder twice. The second time the app is declared as illegal and you can only delete it.
Let me know if this helps.
Hi again!I only transfered the .jar file. Now it works!!! Thank you
when i set up a connection i went to connect and it said "line is busy" i'm not entirely sure what to do after that
I tried this on my Nokia 6131 and it works perfectly.
I have a problem with my motorola razer when i try to connect to mindstorms nxt it says "line is busy" What do i do?
I haven't tested this app on a motorola phone yet but I think there are some limitations about the way java apps can access the bluetooth module. I've heard about this app working on some V3 phones, but it also depends on the version of the firmware. I really don't know what this "line is busy" message means. Do you have your phone paired with a bluetooth headset? Maybe the connection is automatically established and it disables the serial communication with the NXT.
Hi, I tried the soft with Nokia 6233 and it said the application is invalid. Does anyone else have experience/idea?
works perfectly on my lg ku990, so its not just nokia phones it works for
any1 know were i can get a mobile app for mindstorms NXT that works on the
samsung E370
the samsung Tocco
Hi, may I know where I can get this application to run on my Nokia 6500 Slide phone? Thks.
Hi, may I know where I can get this bluetooth application? Thks.
Hi, do you have some applications to mobile health system that can design for medical something else? because I try to analyze and build to related medical field by using NXT.
Are there any remote control programs that work on PCs(Specificly Windows Vista)?
I'm searching for a nxt remote .jar file for my Nokia 6300. Where can I find the file you refer to in the blog? or is the original lego file
I changed the URL without noticing that the link here was not pointing to the index of my webpage. Please visit
to find the page and the software featured in this article.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Do you know if I can control my robot from my computer? I've been trying to find a way but can't.
what is the best type of robot to use the remote control on?
i cant find any of the files or anything i download on my phone env touch 11000
Hey Quentin,
You can control your NXT from your computer over bluetooth. There is a really good tutorial here that goes over the basics of setting it up:
The commands that are being sent can actually be sent from any device, so you can use a mobile device or your computer to send commands - just as long as they are in the proper format you should be good!

|A KosherEye Conversation with Sue Fishkoff
Author of Kosher Nation: Why More and More of America's Food Answers to a Higher Authority, Schocken Books
Tell us about yourself:
What target market do you anticipate will read Kosher Nation?
As we read the book we were impressed by your extensive on–site research. Were you welcomed into the kosher factories and slaughterhouses or were they skeptical about your presence?
She visited a slaughter house in Baltimore with Star-K Rabbi Avram Pollack. The experience changed the way she looks at her food. Although she maintains a vegetarian kitchen, she does eat meat. However, she now appreciates meat more and the blessings said with meals. She witnessed the care and seriousness of the Shochet, and saw how hard he works. She feels the shochet does not get the respect he deserves.
We asked about the "politics" of kosher:
The amount of information in Kosher Nation is comprehensive and extraordinary! How many years did it take you to research and write this book?
Were you welcomed into kosher mainstream corporate America?
Two examples: She was inside the Tropicana plant in Bradenton, Florida when the line was kashered for Pesach. She wandered around the Häagen−Dazs plant in Bakersfield, California with the mashgiach. According to Sue, most companies admire and trust their mashgiach!
Sue related a remarkable experience which started in a secret location − in a western Pennsylvania flour mill. One night at this mill, under strict kosher supervision, wheat was ground into flour. After the process was complete at 2 AM in the morning, she observed the kosher supervised flour being poured into a 50,000 gallon tanker and sealed. In the middle of the night, Sue, along with the trucker, then embarked on a road trip to a Manischewitz plant where it would be baked into matzoh. Another machgiach was there, waiting to unseal it. If, upon arrival the seal had been broken (it was not), the entire shipment would NOT have been kosher for Passover.
Would you identify yourself as an investigative reporter?
Do you like to cook?

Rated 5 out of 5 by JoJo from These socks. Are dope. Ok, so I bought one pair of these a while ago and thought "wow, these are cool. good job, me." I wore them like every other day and they're warm, pretty durable and the pattern is beautiful. So I'm like, "i deserve happiness. i'm gonna get another pair of these dope socks." Guess what? I did. Second best decision of my life. I roll my pant legs up in the cold sometimes so people can be blessed with the sight of my socks. Seriously. Pro tip though-if you have big/muscular calves, you might have to look elsewhere. I've got fairly muscular calves and these socks are snug enough that they won't sag during the day, but they're still super comfy. If my calves were a bit bigger, I probably would have a little discomfort. But for my average-sized to prominent-calved folk out there, do your feet a favor, and buy these socks. It's getting cold out there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RLPDX from Warm and delightful I have several pairs of these to wear with pajamas in the evening. They're thick, soft, and warm, with bright cheerful colors that have lasted many washes. I've never actually worn them under shoes, and I suspect they might be too bulky for that unless the shoe was fairly forgiving, but they're delightful to wear and putting them on always feels like a treat.
Date published: 2013-10-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by tx_j1 from Great pattern and colors As with the similar knee high these are great for their pattern and colors. They are quite thick, and take up quite a bit of space in the ol' sock drawer - especially for us sock obsessed where space is at a premium. They wear well, and are great around the house and in shoes with some space available.
Date published: 2013-11-06
Rated 4 out of 5 by Iggy62 from Awesome Style Bought these socks for myself, as the combination of black and tan makes them so versatile. Was actually looking for two pair, one for black pants and one for khakis, but found both in just one pair. Great feel to the fabric, so soft. They are a little more bulky than I expected, but this may improve with further washings. Also, they come up to mid calf, and seem to stay up pretty well. Overall, I'm quite pleased with them.
Date published: 2014-01-04
Rated 5 out of 5 by MsMaryMem from yummy yummy socks I bought a pair in the denim color, and they go great with several pairs of jeans. They are soft, comfy, warmer than you think they'd be, and very snazzy. They fit great with tennies and boots- shoes that have a little room for tow wiggling already. They stay up, don't creep down into your shoe, and have garnered compliments from people who notice socks. Love them, and will buy more as soon as red is back in stock.
Date published: 2014-01-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jessa from Great colors! They are thicker than I thought they'd be, though I have no reason for my assumption. They are made of a nice, thick, stretchy cotton. Very comforable, but not fine gauge, so just keep that in mind. I'm very happy with them!

I was just referred to as 'a breath of fresh air' thanks to my skeleton socks from Sock Dreams.

A strong-willed Dutch woman recalls her life in this uplifting picture that won the 1996 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Antonia (Willeke van Ammelrooy) is an elderly woman who wakes up one morning and realizes that this is the last day of her life. She begins to tell her story in flashback, beginning with her arrival home to the family farm after World War II with her daughter, Danielle (Els Dottermans).

Brad Pitt Might Be Attending Jen's Wedding — Think It's Okay To Invite An Ex?
It's rumored that there will be two guests attending Jennifer Aniston's upcoming wedding to Justin Theroux that are quite unexpected — Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
A source told the British magazine Grazia, that "Justin knows that Jen and Brad talk occasionally and he likes the actor. Obviously, this means inviting Angelina too. Jennifer was taken aback, as she really didn't think Justin would want her ex-husband there, but she loves the fact he's so OK about it."
Whether or not this celebrity rumor is true or false, we know that other couples struggle with this problem of to invite experts or not. Our advice is don't.
Robert Billingham, PHd at Indiana University believes that "believes once people are lovers, they can never be "just friends," and that an ex should never attend your wedding under any circumstances."
Famed etiquette expert Peggy Post agrees that exes shouldn't be invited especially if you have children because "It can be confusing to your children, who need to see you and your new groom (or bride) as a family unit, separate from the ex. They also need to understand that while you are all still their parents, you are otherwise not connected to each other."
