Arian Foster: The AFC's Mystery Man
His health in question and his presence looming large in the Super Bowl picture, the Texans' running back insists he's feeling fine; why Rex Ryan guaranteed his firing; more
HOUSTON — Battle of the heavyweights here Sunday. When it was mostly first-teamers versus first-teamers through the first half, the score was the rejuvenated Saints (with some frisky new pups on defense) 17, Texans (minus J.J. Watt and Arian Foster) 16. If the Saints can play defense, they have a chance to play deep into January. If the Texans can get 16 games out of the idled Foster, they can win the Super Bowl.
Lots to focus on this week, the last week of my preseason travels and roster-whittling time around the league: The Decision Rex Ryan wishes he could have back, the OW and his friends in Jacksonville, the ugly situation between ESPN and the NFL over the concussion story, what the funky Eagles offense is going to look like. But let's start here, with Arian Foster, the questionable man of the hour in the AFC pennant race … and in every fantasy football draft this week from coast to coast. I found him sitting on the counter of the Texans' equipment room a half-hour after the Saints' 31-23 win here.
The bizarrely undrafted Foster, of course, has been an incredibly productive back over the past three years, and one of the greatest values in recent NFL history. He's averaged 95 rushing yards a game in his three starting seasons in Houston, and without him the ground-loving Texans would have to rely on Ben Tate, who they're not sure can be a bell-cow type of back. Anyway, Foster missed most of the last three months of real football practice because of a strained calf and a sore back. He returned to practice last week amid concern he might be ready for the start of the season but not ready for a 325-carry grind. (Plus, of course, however many times he'd have to carry the ball in the playoffs.)
"I'm fine,'" said Foster. "My body feels great. I actually think all this time [off] might help."
"Why?" I said.
"You ask any player: 'How'd you enjoy the lockout season?' Great time. You had a chance to train without [having to] practice every day. When you got back to training camp, everyone felt fresh. That's exactly how I feel right now. Over the past couple of months I had the chance to just train and rehab and work on my body and didn't have all those carries in training camp. Even during camp I got a long rest [because of the back injury]. It's usually a grind. Now I feel fresh. I feel rejuvenated."
Foster was treated with injections to relieve pain in his back, and he said he's pain-free now. His doctors cleared him to resume all football activity, and he said, "They think it's over, but you never know."
More than nursing an injury, Foster said he thinks sitting out a month of camp will pay off over the long haul of the season. He said he'd recommend anyone who plays a physical position in football have the bare minimum of contact in the time leading up to the season. "My body feels great," he said. "It's because I haven't had the grind of camp.
Think about it: During the season, you never play football six days in a row. You get your body tired and worn down during training camp. When you don't have that on you, you feel fresh. Getting some reps in practice, it does help you get your game ready. But when you get to a certain point in your football career, you know how to play football. Football is reactionary then."
And you can react better if you're fresher, Foster thinks. Let the debate between old and new school begin. Don't tell Mike Tomlin this; he thinks you have to toughen up your players in camp in order to play tough during the season. But all of you out there prepping for your drafts—you'll have to ask yourself if you've got the third or fourth pick and are thinking seriously of Foster, "Do I feel lucky?"
My advice (which is usually worth a used dryer sheet): I'd pick Foster in the first half of your first round.
Support cast is vital, but Texans' Super Bowl hopes ride on Matt Schaub
The opener's only 10 days away.
Takeaways from a busy weekend:
The Eagles could run 1,200 plays. That's 75 plays a game, and it's nine more than the oft-frenetic Patriots ran last year. The number of plays in NFL games has increased five years in a row; offenses like to use the no-huddle to limit defensive adjustments, and smart offenses figure it's to their advantage if they can run it efficiently without getting overly fatigued. On Saturday night in Jacksonville, the Eagles' first unit, which played until midway through the third quarter, didn't show anything stunning. But they continued to play fast, without huddling. Of the 45 snaps Michael Vick orchestrated, only one came with the play clock inside five seconds. Mostly, Vick snapped with between about 21 and 15 seconds left on the 40-second clock. There was an 11-play no-huddle sequence late in the first-quarter on a Philly field goal drive; Vick ran twice on it, and jogged back to the line each time, getting the play call in the helmet and snapping the next play each time with the play clock in the teens. The guy's got to be in fabulous shape. Now, Vick threw two brainlock passes during the game—one an interception, one while he was going down for a sack that was the classic careless Vick we've seen at times in his star-crossed career. And this was probably his worst offensive performance of the three preseason games, though his numbers were good. "The thing I'm most proud of is I didn't approach this preseason the way I approached the last three or four years. I came to play," Vick said. The Eagles will struggle on defense, but they'll be a constant chemistry experiment on offense.
Eagles will play fast under Chip Kelly, but the pieces are an awkward fit
Two impressive things about the Saints. One: their rookie class. Kenny Stills, the fifth-round receiver from Oklahoma, made a great catch against the Texans down the left sideline on a bomb, and first-round safety Kenny Vaccaro has fit in seamlessly and shows good instincts around the line; he made a good tackle on a run blitz. Another first-year player (technically not a rookie), wideout Andy Tanner, made a fingertip touchdown catch from ex-Tulane quarterback Ryan Griffin. But I liked the two defensive linemen who shone Sunday: third-round tackle John Jenkins, who has some Wilfork-type moves for a 350-pound man, and undrafted free agent end Glenn Foster, who had a sack and a quarterback pressure. How is someone as athletic as Glenn Foster not drafted? Probably comes from a decided lack of production—four sacks in 23 college starts at Illinois—but he looked promising Sunday. Two: defensive end Cameron Jordan, who had a sack and was buzzing around Matt Schaub for much of the first quarter. Jordan and J.J. Watt were the best big ends in the 2011 draft, and he looked to have some of Watt's quickness, spin moves and strength Sunday. Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan plans to move Jordan—son of former NFL tight end Steve Jordan—around on the defense. Sort of like last year. "I was a Swiss Army knife last year," he said after the game. "I played everywhere. I think that's how I'll be used again, which is fine. I can excel wherever they put me." The Saints need the combination of Jordan, Junior Gallette and Akiem Hicks (and the rookies) to pressure the passer. It's essential if Rob Ryan's pressured defense is going to work.
Just a little bit of defense will get Saints back into deep January
1. Eagles will be entertaining - and better than last year.
2. Saints will regain their form and their swag. They'll be better as well - offensively speaking. Defense is another story. Not sure Rob Ryan's defense has been fully absorbed, but hey, they've got one more week then everything is for real.
3. Jacksonville for all of it's potential, is still a project and that starts at QB. Not sold on Gabbert (injured or not) and I def believe this is his make or break year. Gus Bradley is a Pete Carroll trainee - meaning, they'll be looking for another QB in 2014.
4. Buffalo will be better - with EJ Manual at QB for half of the season.
5. Tennessee - They remind me of the crazy uncle living upstairs in his room. They'll make some noise, but chances are nothing will come out of it.
6. Jets - ready for a rebirth, but it's not going to happen. Too much dysfunction and Ryan will take it in the shorts. Expect to see Jets run at Nick Saban at the EOS.
7. Raiders - just throw Terrelle Pryor out there and take an antacid. He's going to make mistakes, just like the organization has for more than several years, but he's mobile, he's young and guess what? He's finally learned how to throw a pass. Even knowing that, he's a better option than Flynn - and considering the Raiders outsmarted themselves in drafting Matt Barkley, they might as well let him grow - or let him go.
8. Kansas City - Team to watch. Got a QB and got a re-energized head coach in Andy Reid. I said last year, watching him on the Eagles sideline and at the press conferences, he looked burnt out. He doesn't look that way now and that's good news for him, his family and the Chiefs.
9. Seattle - Team assembled to compete now.
10. San Francisco - see Seattle above.
11. Ravens - Will "The Purge" do more harm than good? Dunno. Flacco is Flacco, but can he still be without Bolden who saved his bacon on more occasions than I can count. Defense still dominates. Must be that Baltimore water.
12. Bengals - I know why Mike Brown agreed to be on Hard Knocks again. He was clowned the first time and he wanted to show they're headed in a new direction. I believe they are since he decided to leave the drafting of players to coaches who coach them. They've done well. However, one thing for certain is Taylor Mays needs to stop talking about superheros or he's done.
It gives great hope and solace to all small business owners/armchair quarterbacks out there that even in the top tiers of business, the people running the show can make the dumbest decisions. This past week's trifecta of calamities will go down as a major stain to the reputation of ESPN, the NFL and what's left of the Jet's organization. The winner in all of this is Frontline, a highly regarded news show on PBS. I look forward to watching its documentary on concussions in the NFL in October thanks to the NFL.
Love it.
The Jets are disfunctional, just like Woody Johnson's family. With lack of leadership at the top, you get nothing but chaos below.
What makes you think Rex Ryan was the one calling the shots in that game? Ryan is a lame duck in a lame duck organization.
More importantly, "Why wasn't a penalty called against the fool who took out Kevin Williams in the Viking, 49ers game?" Every play in the NFL today seems to lead to a penalty, yet here we have a young player with an obvious intent to go low on a veteran player and nothing happens. That is a disgrace and the 49ers own players should come out against that type of play. So NFL were is the fine, and or suspension?
Rip Rex for playing to win but give Old Man Tom Coughlin a pass for "playing to win" by kicking a field goal to tie that game to send it to overtime, after he went for 4th & Short earlier in the game. Hack job. Jets D plus a modern NFL offense this year (non Tony Sparano driven) will win them 7 games this year.
Houston Texas a model organization??? After busting on the high #1 picks that they had? Sorry but those picks should have taken them to the Super Bowl in order to be the model organization.
Re: The Jaguars new helmet. It's probably the same person who designed your MMQB web pages - both make the eyes bleed.
I get tired of people saying that Sanchez had "won" the competition. He hadn't and they put Sanchez in for more reps. Geno's game was much better than the statline suggests and he showed escapability, accuracy and poise that Sanchez has not shown this preseason. What possible could can come from trotting the worst starting QB in the NFL out there again. There was a new depth chart posted by the Jets and Geno/Mark are listed as the 1. Mark has not "won" anything yet,.
But I thought smart teams try to lose in order to get such a coveted #1 pick?

@drudown This isn't the NBA.
I bet most of the other people on the flight had their phones on or in airplane mode. Did you see that funny bit on Extra Mustard about that a few days ago?
@pol6ca2 Seriously :)
If simply having a cell phone turned on could screw with a jet's operations, I'd be pulling a Madden and taking the bus from now on!
@pol6ca2 The biggest sham being put upon the American people is being forced to turn our phones off on planes. I've flown with mine on 100 times and have to admit i get aggravated when i'm told to shut off my ipad when i'm reading a book on take-off and landing. Just figure it out airlines

Peter - What was "bizarre" about Foster not being drafted given what was known about him in 2009 -- not what we know in 2013?
What we knew in 2009:
Freshman - 879 yards. Arrested
Sophomore - 322 yards. Injured.
Junior - 1,193 yards
Senior - 570 yards. Injuries. UT coaches preferred other RBs
Pro Day - 4.71 40-yard time and negative feedback from UT coaches about his attitude.
Would you REALLY have used a draft pick in 2009 on someone with that history??
@RobertSmith Well played.
@RobertSmith Robert, anyone who couldn't see The Tree through that Foster Forest should be FIRED!!!! Look how awesome he is - I mean, who COULDN'T have seen it?
@Mike26 @RobertSmith yea u def knew
The Streisand Effect in full force with the NFL concussion story. The more you try to cover it up, the more attention you draw to it.
no fantasy insights?
@dca44 if you read the article, it says that when deciding wether or not to take a gamble on Arian Foster ,because of the red flags and injury risks, he suggests you take him in the first half the first round of your fantasy draft...
Peter King displaying his anti-Raider bias again. Without Ray Guy you don't have all these punters with higher averages than Guy. He changed the position. The punters of today were influenced by Guy to become punters. Ray Guy changed punters went from an afterthought to a strategic weapon. PK is just looking at the raw stats. He is being totally ignorant when he states punting hasn't changed between now and 1973. In '73 they didn't keep stats for kicks inside the 20, touch-backs, or net yards. Guy's influence created these stats. Has PK heard of the Ray Guy award. Guy was voted the punter for the National Football League 75th Anniversary All-Time Team. If he played for the Pats King would be raising hell to get him into the HOF.
@Richard A Yeah right. N O B O D Y C A R E S. Funny you don't seem to want to address his Jerrell Wilson comparison. Even in his own time - when he was sooooo influential, there was somebody doing it better than him... Pretty sad (read funny) that the only thing Raiders-related people are talking about was some PUNTER 30 some odd years ago. Hilarious...
@Joebuckster @Richard A You are obviously a Chiefs fan. Wilson is never even remotely considered for the HOF. King is the only that brings him up. Ask the avg fan who should be in the HOF Guy or Wilson. answer, Wilson Who? When is the last time the Chiefs won anything, 45 years ago.
@Richard A - Ray Guy did not change the position...he was just really good at what he did....and belong in the HOF of course.
If Ray Guy would just come out as a Red Sox fan Peter would run his HOF campaign.
Your daughter Mary Beth's fantasy?
Jon Gruden = idiot. guy sounds like such a hick
@ProfessorGriff -- I agree...he falls in love with every player that makes a good play...over hypes them.
@IvanAJagerbomb @ProfessorGriff Your right ... He was the Brent, mushy mouth, Musburger of the 1970's , 1980's on CBS .. Every NFL player was great, stupendous ,the next Superman at his position...He was, then , a glorified cheerleader ..Felt like smacking him and Jimmy , The Creep was a big bag of wind who never told me anything on the air that I didn't know ...@rskins09

Granox - Lava Demon
It's been a dream of mine for some time to support artists creating original designs and help them promote their products. So over the last several months I've hooked up with some super talented guys and we have formed what I hope will be a successful venture into the collectibles field. We are pleased to announce our first product which is this insane lava demon named Granox. Sculpted by the super talented Furio Tedeschi who has done loads of concept work for movies and games including Del Toro's upcoming Pacific Rim. this statue is available in gray resin or pre-painted. Check out our site and make sure to keep an eye on things because we have some crazy stuff planned.

wow, really amazing model - i also love the paint can't wait till the Fausto's model comes out. I'm a big fan of his work, i'll get me one of those for sure
March 5th, 2013 #3
Thanks man. I really hope we can grow this thing and include many other artists. I've been a collectibles sculptor for over a decade and I'm just tired of seeing so many wonderful and original designs go to waste. My philosophy is that if you pay talented people to do what they love, you can't go wrong. You'll get best results every time. There is no 'art director' for our little company. Just talented and motivated people doing what they want to do. I know I've said it before but your work is wonderful btw....

that philosophy is extremely rare nowadays - its great to hear that such companies still exist, and even better news that new companies emerge with this art-centric point of view. I really hope you succeed - actually I'm pretty sure, seeing all those incredible artists i admired for many years now, I just can't see it going wrong . Also, thanks for you kind words .

Great idea focusing solely on original characters, how many hulks and batman statues are really necessary?
Granox looks great, both the sculpt and the paint job. I was going to ask if you'd considered casting it in translucent orange to enhance the fire effect but then looked at your facebook and saw its already been done and looks amazing. Any pics of the whole thing done like that?

FAMILY: Youth Sports Burnout
By asoglin
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007 at 11:13 am in Kids & Tweens, Teens.
Year-round basketball? Swimming seven days a week, month after month? Your kid may be courting an overuse injury, says the American Academy of Pediatrics. Basically, it's a repetitive stress injury gone bad, and kids are particularly susceptible because their growing bones cannot handle as much stress as adult bones. Young athletes should limit single sport training to no more than five days a week, and take at least one day to just relax, says the AAP. So, if you run five days a week and want to swim on the sixth, that's fine, but on the seventh day, thou shalt make like a couch potato. And kids who do a single sport year round need to take two or three months off per year. The focus should be on lifelong fitness and fun, docs say, not breeding Olympians. (Reality is, less than 1 percent of high school athletes break into professional sports.) For more information on preventing sports injuries, click here.

When a guy says that a girl is "cool", what does that mean?
What on earth does this mean in "guy-speak" ? lol When guys say that a girl is "cool", how is this supposed to be taken? Is this a compliment?... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Guy speak is not that complicated, cool means that he thinks the girl is likable and fun. As far as non-sensical, if he uses "cool" as some sort of verbal twitch where everything is cool, then perhaps it meant about as much as clearing a throat, other wise its a compliment. He could see her as a friend or could be interested in more, this comment says little either way, the person to ask would be him.
What Guys Said 3
well it depends, so far it sounds like he's talking in a friend-like way, but he can possibly mean that he is into her, its very complicated and I would need more deeper information to give a better answer such as who he told that the girl is "cool" and whatelse was he talking about. If he told a friend that the girl is "cool" it is more likely meaning he is interested...hope I helped
Well, to put the conversation in context: Recently, one of my closest girl friends told me that she had a talk with a guy friend/acquaintance of mine who I have a crush on , and she just casually asked him what he thought about different girls (incl. me). She even told him that she could see him dating me. (yikes!)
My friend was just naming diffferent girls that he could possibly date & when she mentioned MY name, she told me he that he said: "yeah Mystique is cool".
Does this help?
"She's cool." in guy speak would be:
I like her, she is an interesting/fun person to be around with/talk to.
that she is "hip" or is one of those people people find "cool" ; popular maybe?
Shes a good friend.
See...maybe that's what "cool" means in guy-speak.
But to me (as a woman), saying a girl is "cool" seems almost like an insult! Idk...I'd rather the guy say I was "cute" or "hot" or whatever. "Cool" just makes it seem like I'm a nice "Friend" and a good "girl", but not good enough to date. :-/
Idk...call me crazy, but this is the impression I get. Like I wasn't even good enough to be considered as a potential gf.

The benefits of coconut oil seem to be endless. Read on for several (delicious) ways to incorporate this healthy fat into your diet – including homemade baba ghanoush!
* Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to smoothies, protein powders, or yogurt.
* Add a tablespoon to hot or cold cereal.
* Use coconut oil as a sugar or creamer replacement for either tea or coffee once the beverage is cool enough to drink. Stir often to combine the oil with the liquid.
* Spread some coconut oil on slices of bread, rolls, bagels, or crackers.
* Make compound "butters" and flavored spreads with solid coconut oil. Blend 2 to 3 tablespoons of coconut oil with nut butters, cream cheese, or fruit spreads. Try adding some cinnamon and honey to coconut oil to make a spread.
* Combine liquid coconut oil with herbs and spices to create a healthy dressing for salads.
* Coconut oil is healthy cooking oil, especially for low to medium heat cooking and sautéing as it doesn't break down easily. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons to your pan and cook eggs, vegetables, rice and grain dishes, potatoes, and meats. Add as a finishing oil to curries, sauces, soups, and stews.
* Use coconut oil in the place of vegetable or olive oil the way I've done in my recipe for Power-Packed Baba Ghanoush.
Power-Packed Baba Ghanoush
This savory eggplant purée is flavored with tahini, lemon juice and fresh herbs. Eat it with wedges of whole wheat pita bread for dipping or spoon it over roasted meats and vegetables.
1 large eggplant (about 1 pound), halved lengthwise
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, divided
3 tablespoons sesame tahini
1 to 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup parsley leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons coconut oil, plus 1 tablespoon more for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Sprinkle eggplant with ½ teaspoon salt. Place eggplant cut-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Prick all over with a fork and bake until soft and collapsed, about 20 minutes.
When cool enough to handle, scoop eggplant pulp into a bowl and discard skin. Add the remaining teaspoon of salt, the tahini, garlic, yogurt, parsley, lemon juice, and the coconut oil. Mash for a chunky texture or purée in a blender (before adding parsley) for a smooth texture.
Garnish with parsley and drizzle with coconut oil. Serve with warm pita bread or crackers.

I cannot believe I am alone in feeling sickened at the misery suffered by lambs in field trials by the New Zealand based company, Woolovers (This Week, 26 July, p 24).
There already exists a wealth of knowledge relating to lamb deaths caused by hypothermia which has, for many years, resulted in practical preventative measures being taken by farmers: lambs being fitted with biodegradable jackets, ewes being brought down to lowland pastures to lamb, or ewes and lambs being brought indoors until the lambs are strong enough to be allowed out of doors.
Yet, despite this knowledge and practical experience, this company went ahead and placed 40 newborn lambs in a paddock, each "protected" with a so-called "woolover jumper" and then deliberately placed a further 40 "unprotected" lambs in another paddock and exposed them all to the rigours of a "particularly severe storm". This resulted in the death ...

Weidman recently told USA TODAY Sports that if he can clean out the middleweight division, he might not have a choice but to move up to light heavyweight to see what he can get done 20 pounds heavier.
Whatever the fans really want to see, and whatever is the toughest challenge for me (is what I want to do), Weidman said. Right now, the 185-pound division is exciting. Theres a lot of guys and a lot of matchups that people want to see me against. So those are the fights Im going to fight. But if it comes to the point where 85 looks a little stale, I have no problem going to 205.
I want to clear out the middleweight division, and then fight the best at 205 and show the world what I can do. Once I feel like Im not loving it and Im slowing down, then Ill stop. Hopefully Im not one of those guys who are doing it for the wrong reasons toward the end and just fighting for a paycheck and getting knocked out every fight.

Illinois opened tournament play with a 7-1 win over BYU - Andy Dickinson threw a complete game and four Illini had two hits as Illinois picked up its first win of the season. The Washington game was next, and Illinois took 12 innings to defeat the Huskies, 10-9. Reilly Smith threw seven solid innings of relief and Matt Vorwald held the Huskies scoreless over the final 2 2/3 until Illinois was able to load the bases in the bottom of the 12th and win on a Washington error. In the final game of the tournament, Illinois lost to Kentucky, 6-2, despite solid pitching outings from starter Josh Gold (6.0 IP, 2 earned runs) and Dave Mazurek.
Dickinson solid in the no. 1 slot - Junior lefthander Andy Dickinson has solidified his role as staff ace over the past two weekends. After throwing a complete game to defeat BYU, 7-1, in the first game of the Illini Desert Classic, Dickinson threw a complete seven-inning game against Illinois State. For the second week in a row he allowed only one run, this one earned, and struck out a career-high 10. In his last 16 innings of work Dickinson has allowed only one earned run. His career record currently stands at 10-4.
Smith makes the most of his chance to start - Freshman Reilly Smith was given the chance to start against Louisville and responded with a seven-inning complete game winning effort. He allowed three runs (all earned) on seven hits over the seven innings while walking one and striking out five. Smith is now 1-0 on the year with a 3.00 ERA, the third lowest on the team to closer Matt Vorwald and ace Andy Dickinson.
Freshmen continue to make impact- A number of newcomers are making an everyday impact in this year's line-up. Second baseman Chad Frk has started all but two games this season and is hitting .286 with three RBI. Andy Hilligoss has started the last six games at shortstop and is also hitting .286 in addition to flawless play in the field. And freshman righthander Reilly Smith has a 1-0 record and 3.00 ERA over 15 innings of work.
Illini drop two at troy state - The first weekend of the regular season was not kind to Illinois as the team dropped two games at Troy State, 9-5 and 13-3. Illinois led game one 5-3 before surrendering six runs in the bottom of the eighth. Rob Fischer led the offense with two home runs and four RBI. The highlights of game two included a Luke Simmons home run and a Patrick Arlis RBI double.
Newcomers make their debut - Nine Illini saw the first action of their careers at Troy State, including four true freshmen. True freshman Chad Frk started at second all weekend and went 2-for-6 with his first career RBI. Other position players seeing their first action in an Illinois uniform were true freshmen Vince DiMaria and Andy Hilligoss and redshirt freshmen Joffre Colbert, Trevor Frederickson and Brian Raymond. Reilly Smith was the only true freshman to see action on the mound, throwing a scoreless seventh in game two, and redshirt freshman Tim Gorski and junior college transfer Josh Gold also saw their first action in an Illinois uniform.
Illini picked third - In its annual college preview, Baseball America picked Illinois to finish third in the Big Ten behind Minnesota and Purdue. The magazine also named first baseman Andy Schutzenhofer and closer Matt Vorwald to its all-conference team and named Schutzenhofer the best pure hitter in the conference and Jeff Gertz the catcher with the best arm in the Big Ten.
Collegiate baseball weighs in - In its own college preview issue, Collegiate Baseball picked Illinois to finish fourth in the Big Ten. The publication listed four Illini as players to watch this season in the conference - first baseman Andy Schutzenhofer, third baseman Luke Simmons, lefthander Andy Dickinson and closer Matt Vorwald.
Postseason streak - The University of Illinois has the longest current streak of appearances in the Big Ten Tournament of any team in the conference. Illinois has been in the last five Big Ten Tournaments, the longest streak since Minnesota qualified for six-straight tournaments from 1990-95.
.300 streak - Illinois has been one of the most prolific offenses in the country the past few years, hitting over .300 as a team for the past three seasons after narrowly missing in 1997 with a .299 team batting average. The '98 Big Ten Championship team was the most impressive, hitting a school-record .347 as a team (good for ninth in the nation that year) as eight of the nine starters hit over .300. The 1999 line-up led the Big Ten for the second-straight year, this time with a .338 team batting average, good for 12th in the nation. Last year's team hit .316 as a team, ranking third in the Big Ten and once again among the top in the country.
Returning offensive production - Although Illinois lost some of its offensive punch to graduation and the major league draft, it won't be an entirely new line-up in 2001. In fact, 61 percent of Illinois' 2000 at bats return, along with 61% of the runs, 66% of the RBI's, 61% of 2000's hits, 69% of the home runs and 64% of the doubles from a year ago. The majority of those returning numbers come from returning starters Jeff Gertz (C), Rob Fischer (LF), Brady Ballard (CF), Joe Parenti (RF), Andy Schutzenhofer (1B) and Luke Simmons (DH).
Returning pitching - Along with the offense, the pitching staff returns a majority of its punch from a year ago despite losing All-American Jason Anderson and two other starters. The pitchers return 49 percent of last year's wins, 59% of the appearances, 49% of the innings pitched and strikeouts and 100% of last year's saves. In total, this year's pitching staff returns a 20-11 record from a year ago with eight saves. Returnees who contributed heavily a year ago include starters Andy Dickinson and Ryan Kvasnicka and closer Matt Vorwald.
Experienced outfield - While this year's infield may show a number of new faces, the outfield will look much the same as a year ago. Senior Rob Fischer (.272, 6 HR, 39 RBI) returns for his second season as the everyday starter in left, and Brady Ballard (.319, 4, 37), Joe Parenti (.314, 3, 22) and Greg Belcher (.320, 0, 6) all return to patrol either center or right field.
New infield - With the loss of second baseman D.J. Svihlik, shortstop Chris Basak and third baseman Craig Marquie to graduation and the draft the Illinois infield is going to have a decidedly different look to it in 2001. Junior Luke Simmons has started all five games at third and freshman Chad Frk has been a fixture at second so far, while Ryan Lawrence, who started the first two games, and Andy Hilligoss, who started all three games in Arizona, have been sharting time at short. Others in the running for playing time in the infield include sophomore T.F. Meagher, redshirt freshman Brian Raymond and freshman Vince DiMaria.
Schutzenhofer makes smith award watch list - Illinois sophomore first baseman Andy Schutzenhofer is listed on the preseason Smith Award Watch List, the award given annually to college baseball's top player. The 2000 freshman All-American hit .375 last year with an Illinois freshman record 87 hits and 63 RBI en route to being named first-team All-Big Ten.
Schutzenhofer one of the top returners in the big ten - Illinois sophomore first baseman Andy Schutzenhofer has a tough act to follow this season. As a freshman he earned first-team All-Big Ten and freshman All-America honors after hitting .375 and setting Illinois freshman records for hits (87) and RBI (63). He enters this year as the Big Ten's top returner in three statistical categories - hits, runs and RBI and he has the third-highest batting average of all returning players in the conference.
Dickinson fights for no. 1 spot - It looks like junior lefthander Andy Dickinson is set to step in this season and answer the biggest question on the pitching staff - who will fill the shoes of departed All-American Jason Anderson. Dickinson, whose eight wins a year ago were second only to Anderson's 14, is slated to fill the No. 1 slot in the rotation. A year ago he posted an 8-3 record with a 4.11 ERA while throwing anywhere from spots two to four in the rotation. His biggest win came at the Big Ten Tournament where he three-hit Penn State, which at the time had the nation's top offense, in a second round game Illinois won, 5-3.
Simmons enjoys end of season hot streak - Junior Luke Simmons was caught in a sophomore slump at the beginning of last season but caught fire over the last few weekends. Over the last 26 games of 2000 Simmons hit .443 (39-88) and over the last 17 games he hit .500 (27-54). In total Simmons posted 40 percent of his total season hits in the last 25 percent of the season and he struck out only four times in the last 23 games, as opposed to 24 times in the first 41 games.
Illinois boasts top defensive catching corps - Illinois senior catcher Jeff Gertz, tabbed by Baseball America as the catcher with the best arm in the conference, has numbers to back up the claim. Over his two years at Illinois Gertz has thrown out 48 of 103 would-be base stealers, or 47 percent over his career. Last year he threw out 23 of 49 runners (also 47 percent). That percentage led all of the everyday catchers in the Big Ten. Second to Gertz was the Iowa tandem of Brad Husz, Toby Humes and Alex Dvorsky, who while platooning at catcher together threw out 44% of would-be stealers. New York Yankees first round draft pick David Parrish of Michigan came in third among the everyday catchers with a 38% mark last season.
As a team, Illinois also ranked first in the conference defensively behind the plate - Gertz and Patrick Arlis combined to throw out 45% of those running on them, topping Iowa (44%) and Northwestern and Penn State (both 37%) in the team category.
Vorwald in on the action - Closer Matt Vorwald had some kind of decision in 34 percent (14 of 41) of Illinois' wins a year ago, and in 41 percent (7 of 17) of the team's Big Ten wins. His eight saves ranked first on the team, and his six wins were third to staff ace Jason Anderson and Andy Dickinson. In conference play, the Illini closer posted a 3-0 record with four saves. He picked up two wins in a day at Northwestern and posted a team-low 2.29 ERA in Big Ten games before missing the postseason with a shoulder injury.
First tournament title under coach jones - Illinois' 2000 Big Ten Tournament title was the first under current head coach Itch Jones and the third in the program's history. Illinois also won the tournament in both 1989 and '90 under Augie Garrido. The title was Jones' second at Illinois (he also won the regular season title in 1998) and gave him a ticket to his 12th NCAA postseason bid (his second at Illinois).
Winning Game One - If there's one thing the Illinois baseball team counts on, it's winning game one of its Big Ten series. From 1997-2000, with aces Brett Weber and Jason Anderson on the mound, Illinois won game one 19 of 25 times in conference play. And when the Illini got the first win out of the way on Friday, the team has gone on to win 13 of the 18 series, and of the five the team has not won, the Orange and Blue split three and lost two.
All-Americans in the 1990s - The University of Illinois has had more baseball players (19 in all) earn All-American honors in the past decade than any other school in the Big Ten Conference. Illinois has two former freshman All-Americans on this year's squad - first baseman Andy Schutzenhofer (Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball, 2000) and third baseman Luke Simmons (Collegiate Baseball 1999).
You're Listening to Fighting Illini Baseball . . . - This season WDWS AM 1400, the flagship station of Fighting Illini athletics, will broadcast almost 40 Illinois baseball regular season games, in addition to all postseason action. The station will carry all of Illinois' home games and the majority of road games, starting after the Spring Trip. Big Ten games played on Friday on the road that start before 4 p.m. central time will be broadcast live on the internet. This season Dave Loane and Brian Barnhart will call the action. Games can be heard on the Illini Sports Network and live on the internet at www.fightingillini.com.

27 year old woman | Mukilteo, WA, USA | Seeking men 25-30 within 30 miles
Life is about the journey you take, not the destination you reach.
I'm smart, funny, sweet, down to earth, responsible, and fun. I'm looking for someone who can accept these qualities about me and has some quirks of their own. I need someone I can laugh with, learn from, and just have fun with. I'm a true Gemini in that there are a lot of things that I love. I love being social, active, and adventurous, but I also love taking it easy and "stopping to smell the roses" as it were. Travel and health sciences both fascinate me because I feel like the learning in both subjects is endless and relative to everyone. I believe in true love, being your own happiness, and giving all you can to what you love. The partner I'm looking for needs to be honest, supportive, outgoing, and true to himself. He needs to be someone who enjoys some things I do and has a similar sense of humor as myself. He needs to care about who he is as a person and how he relates to other people. Feel free to send me an e-mail if you're interested in getting to know more about me.

Not sure if many people are familiar with Sublime Text 2 but hopefully someone can help me here.
The issue is with the .reg file below, which is meant to redirect calls to notepad.exe to sublime_text.exe.
What happens is, when opening a file with spaces, such as "hello world.txt" sublime opens two files, one called "hello" and another called "world.txt".
I've used this method on two separate machines successfully so I'm at a loss to why it's not working this time round.
Tried re-installing. Tried installing it in its default location (Program FIles). Nope.

If you would have asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up when I was 5 I would have told you I wanted to be a penguin breeder. It wasn't until I turned 17 that I knew for a fact I wanted to be the television weather girl. Now that I'm ripe and nearly 46 I have an insatiable desire to teach as much as I learn and I want to do it living.
Special to the Times-Record
Saturday, June 23 from 10 am to 12 noon the Farmers Market will celebrate National Dairy Month by having free samples of yogurt available for the first 200 people that come to the market. A variety of flavors will be available.
The Farmers Market is partnering with the Young People's Healthy Heart Program at Mercy Hospital and the Midwest Dairy Council for this event, and will have many recipes for people to pick up that use yogurt.
The finishing touches are being applied to the new North Valley Bridge on County Road 21 north of Valley City, and the days are numbered for the old bridge.
"The (new) bridge itself is about complete," said Barnes County Highway superintendent Kerry Johnson. "They have some coating to put on the railing, abutments and piers and then remove the rest of the forms... I would say there's less than a week's worth of work on the actual bridge itself."

Returning now to our Walks of Art inside Tate Modern we take a wander into the States of Flux wing to have a look at a painting entitled Clarinet and Bottle of Rum on a Mantlepiece.
This was painted in 1911 by the painter Georges Braque, who together with his great friend and ally Pablo Picasso was a pioneer of the early 20th century art movement that became known as cubism.
At first glance Clarinet and Bottle of Rum on a Mantlepiece appears to be little more than a jumbled series of distorted shapes and lines. Indeed, at first glance your mind might struggle to make sense of what exactly it is that you are looking at.
Where is the clarinet?
Where is the bottle of rum?
Where is the mantlepiece.
Well the one thing we stress over and over again on our London walks is the need to really look at things. Look at as opposed to see things.
So let's start by looking for the bottle of rum in the painting. If you look at the top centre of the painting you can make out two, black vertical lines across the top of which has been laid a horizontal black line. This is the neck of the bottle.
So straight away our London walks mantra of look at things starts to make a little more sense in Tate Modern.
In fact the bottle is made easy to discern by several visual clues.
Firstly, just beneath the neck of the bottle are the letters PARL, which could be a make or a brand of Rum.
Further down underneath that are the letters RH and the start of the letter U, the first three letters of the French word for rum.
So from the jumbled mass of shapes and lines we have managed to distinguish the shape of the bottle.
We'll look for the clarinet in our next blog. In the meantime why not have a look at some of the Dickens Walks or Shakespeare London walks that take in the exciting and vibrant area where Tate Modern is located?
Incidentally, for copyright reasons we cannot reproduce the artworks on our London, Walk of Art blogs. But do a google image search for Tate Modern and you will be able to see these works.

1957 Rear Axles
All '57 Corvette rear axles are stamped with an alpha-numeric code, which identifies the build source, axle ratio, and date of manufacture.
The axle code is located on the front right or passenger side of the differential carrier at the same height as the axle tube. The axle code will read from left to right or bottom to top. The prefix or two-letter code designates the gear ratio and any other specific information about that rear differential. This code also refers to the manufacturer or source which built the rearend.
The numbers following the letter prefix designate the calendar month and day that axle was produced. From the 1955 through 1962 model years, the calendar month was designated by a one-number code from January (1) through September (9). The October through December codes were designated as 10-12, respectively. Beginning with the '63 model year, all month designations begin with a "0" so the January date code would show "01" instead of "1" as in previous years.
These rear axles were part of number 684 option code released approximately 3/1/57, which included heavy duty brakes and suspensions.

If you are asked to pickup out of state, that rescue may not be registered in MA and not following our state's requirements for entering dogs. It's best to choose a registered rescue, based locally, where you'll have local volunteers as a resource upon and after adoption. Our dogs are all examined by a Massachusetts veterinarian who examines each dog after they enter MA, prior to going to homes, as required by the state.

'The Real World: D.C.' cast screens the premiere with Zap2it
This is the true story -- true story! -- of eight strangers, picked to live in a house in Washington D.C. and fight about politics, religion, sexuality and more ... on camera.
That's right, kids, the brand spankin' new season of "The Real World" is upon us, premiering Wednesday (Dec. 30) on MTV and only Zap2it was with the cast when they reunited in L.A. earlier this month to share a meal and screen the premiere episode of the show.
In the segment below, you'll see a bit of that reunion and hear the new "Real World"-ers first reaction to themselves on camera.
And who are these new housemates?
Well, there's Ashley, who is probably the most politically-minded of the group -- and maybe the most opinionated as well -- she gets entwined in the drama and debating right off the bat and as you'll see in the clip) evokes strong reactions from a couple of her cast mates.
And then there is Ty, who has labeled himself this year's "bad guy" while his cast mates just call him the "token black guy"... yes, this season's "Real World" has a real sense of humor.
Much of that humor is courtesy of Andrew who spends the last 35 seconds of the clip telling me about his sex life, though former Philly "gang banger" turned band front man Josh insists he's the show's ladies man.
There is also Mike, a personal trainer in-training who announces that he is bisexual in Wednesday's premiere, though I'm told there's quite a bit of controversy surrounding his true sexuality throughout the season.
You'll also meet Erika, a budding songstress, Callie, a Texas-born sorority girl and Emily, the in-house object of Ty's affection ... .
What do you think? Is "The Real World" still on its game? Or do you prefer "The Hills," "The City" or -- dare we say it? -- "The Jersey Shore"?

BARELY six months after he returned to work following extended sick leave, Education Minister Abraham Iyambo is back in hospital.
Although senior government officials and spokespeople remained tight-lipped yesterday, it is understood that Iyambo is receiving treatment in Cuba.
It is unclear what he is being treated for. Some sources said that he had undergone an operation.
David Namwandi, the deputy minister of education, confirmed that Iyambo was in Cuba "on government business", but said he was not aware that he was in hospital.
Upon enquiry, education permanent secretary Alfred Ilukena said to his knowledge, Iyambo was not in hospital.
Contradicting Namwandi, he said: "He decided to use his annual leave to visit his friends in Cuba. He should be here by Wednesday. I don't know anything about hospital."
Ilukena could not say for how long Iyambo has been in Cuba. "He didn't go to Cuba because he is sick. It's a private visit," he maintained.
According to one source, Iyambo collapsed at the airport when he wanted to return to Namibia.
Romeo Muyunda, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Education, yesterday also confirmed that Iyambo was in Cuba - apparently on annual leave.
However, he denied any knowledge of Iyambo being hospitalised. "He's not in hospital. If he is, I have not received that information."
The minister of presidential affairs, Albert Kawana, said: "Maybe the president knows. It's news to me."
As far as he knows, Iyambo is on annual leave, Kawana said.
Mukwaita Shanyenganga, the special media advisor to Presdident Pohamba, also denied any knowledge. "Is he being hospitalised? It's news to me."
In July last year, Iyambo returned to work after having been on sick leave for six months.
He then broke his silence about why he was absent from the office since late 2011. Iyambo told officials in his ministry that high blood pressure was the cause of his illness.
"My blood pressure went uncontrollably high and placed my body under severe strain."
According to him, his hypertension skyrocketed to such an extent that his vision, reading ability and speech were temporarily affected. "I am a human like you with flesh, blood and bones. I'm not immune to sickness, not immune to flu and not immune to headaches."
Although everyone's health is a private matter, the "outpour of concern" and the fact that his ministry gets one of the biggest chunks of the national budget made him clarify what was wrong with him - something which forced him "into a moment of silence, pause and deep reflection".
He added that after adopting a healthy lifestyle, his doctors gave him a clean bill of health. "I emerged stronger, healthier and more determined to make a meaningful contribution to this beautiful country."
During his absence, he heard a number of rumours about his health - that he was wheelchair-bound, paralysed, unable to speak, dying or dead, Iyambo said. "Fortunately, none of these things are true or happened to me."
The minister thanked the media, saying: "You did what you could to inform the public with the limited information you had."

"I was curious, so I prepared my individual taxes this year both with the Global Volunteers charitable deduction and without, and I realized that deducting the program fee, airfare, travel insurance and visa would net me almost $1,500 more than without that deduction. I always heard about the value of the tax deduction, but I really didn't think seriously about it until I analyzed it this way myself. I'm looking forward to using the refund for my next service program this year. It's like recycled money!"
~Esther Schak, Encore Volunteer
If you are a U.S. tax-payer, your out-of-pocket savings for volunteer service programs. Your service program fees, air fare, visa, and related travel expenses are tax deductible if you adhere to our program itinerary, because you perform the work of Global Volunteers, a 501C-3 tax-exempt organization. (See IRS Form 526) When combining federal and state income tax savings, the average volunteer will save about 33 percent of the total cost of the service program. Discounts can save you up to $800 on an international service program fee.
We strictly adhere to IRS requirements that you work, on average, eight hours per day, five days out of seven to ensure you can claim this tax benefit. The service program time eligible is from the time you arrive in and depart from the host country, assuming a direct route and reasonable travel time. Daily travel time to/from the work site and your lodging isn't included in the eight-hour requirement. However, you can include reasonable preparation and planning time. For instance, when your work project includes teaching, we expect that you will prepare one hour for every hour of teaching.
Regardless of your volunteer work projects, we recommend you keep a personal journal detailing the hours you work for tax purposes. Please note that additional travel or vacation either before or after the service program may disqualify all or part of your service program fee, air fare, etc., from this tax deduction.
A "working vacation" you'll never forget.
Come join us. A Global Volunteers volunteer vacation is not just an opportunity to travel and immerse yourself in a foreign culture. It's an opportunity to use your unique skills and interests to help provide children with a horizon they wouldn't otherwise have. You'll do real work on this vacation. Good work that will change your worldview. Even your life.

Within the slick dark waters of Baltimore harbor, hidden as if by a shroud, there lies a riotous jumble of broken old boats. Forget any romantic ideas about the Outer Banks of Carolina as the graveyard of the Atlantic, with hundreds of ships come to grief. Right here in Baltimore there are, easily, thousands of wrecks.
A few of them still can be picked out; some are only half submerged. Most are long forgotten, but all of them had their day in the sun.

The 30-year-old married amateur musician, who is originally from Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, was flown back to the UK, accom-panied by British police, aboard an easyJet flight which arrived at Gatwick Airport.
The maths teacher was extradited to the UK from France, where the pair were found eight days after their disappearance.
Forrest, from Ringmer, East Sussex, had been at the centre of an international hunt after going on the run with the teenager, who was one of his pupils.
Following public appeals from both sets of families for their safe return, the pair were discovered in Bordeaux on September 20.
Forrest will appear at Eastbourne Magistrates' Court today.
In France, Forrest was held on suspicion of child abduction following the issuing of a European Arrest Warrant and was detained at Gradignan prison on the outskirts of Bordeaux.
The schoolgirl has since been reunited with her family.
A Sussex Police statement said: "Jeremy Forrest, 30, a teacher, of Broyleside Cottages, Ringmer, has tonight been charged with child abduction."

Finished my Halloween gaming spree last night
Yeah, I know, a little late. I had a busy Halloween so I didn't get through all of the games I planned to.
Anyway, I had gotten away from gaming lately so I decided that this October I was going to go back and finish some of the Halloween-appropriate games that were sitting around feeling neglected. The first was Undying, which I had last played something like 3 years ago (according to the timestamp on my save). Overall I have to say I was a little disappointed - there's some really cool stuff in there, but it just feels off to me for some reason. I think part of it is the fact that there are some really old style game elements that just don't feel right these days, and from a technical perspective some things just didn't work for me. The lighting in some parts of the game was so messed up that I was supposed to be outside in broad daylight and was still having to use scrye to see because it was too dark. Really hurt the feel of some otherwise very cool locations. I realize that these complaints are not unexpected given that age of the game, but IMHO it didn't age very well. Also, the ending sucked since they clearly set up a sequel and then never got to make it.
Reading that paragraph I realize it sounds very negative, which isn't really what I was trying to get across. I did really like the way they used scrying to reveal things, and by and large I thought the characters were interesting. The locations were also very good, even if I did have trouble getting lost in the house sometimes for some reason. At least it was a cool place to get lost.
The other game I played (yeah, I only got through two) was Eternal Darkness. I actually restarted the game about halfway through because I missed the Mantorok rune on my first playthrough and didn't catch a lot of the subtleties of the story either. The second time through I pretty much followed a FAQ (word of advice: find a FAQ author who can actually write reasonably proper English. I tried using two grammatical disasters of FAQ's and they were both bad) and I'm glad I did. There were a few puzzles that I never would have gotten and a few that would have just frustrated the hell out of me otherwise, and I really don't enjoy that in a game.
I have to say I'm surprised this game doesn't come up more in the games as art discussion. The story is amazingly well written and the number of references between chapters makes the game world feel a lot more fleshed out than I'm used to. Not only do you read about the history of a place, but in many cases you actually played that history. When you throw in the magic system this game was really as good as advertised.
I had planned to play some more American McGee's Alice (I've already beaten it twice, but I had started playing through on the hardest difficulty) but ran out of time, so I am planning to play some more of that next year. I think I will also try to finish RE4 since I really liked that game but never finished it for some reason. I'm also tempted to go back to Doom 3, maybe with the RoE expansion, but I only have so much time.
So did anyone else do any Halloween-themed gaming?

Publishing and Research at AMBS
A message from the director of the Institute of Mennonite Studies
Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary takes to heart the church's need for thoughtful reflection on its practices and contemporary challenges. We take to heart the church's need for Bible commentary and other Christian formation materials that help us grow toward God in faithful maturity. Our faculty, students, and staff produce a rich collection of books, articles, reviews, two journals, newsletters, hymns, poems, internet commentary, letters, and opinions each and every year.
These labors are labors of love: love for God, the church, the Bible, each other, the aged who are passing too quickly from our midst, the children who are tomorrow's hope, the rest of us in between muddling through this wondrous thing called life. All of this makes AMBS source for wide-ranging resources for the church. Find here what fits the way you contribute to your congregation, the way you seek to grow in your love for God. — Mary H. Schertz

At the Somerset Resort, in a gazebo with views of the gorgeous colors of Grace Bay Beach, you'll think you're truly having your burger in paradise. Other lunch offerings include hot dogs, fish-and-chips, and an outstanding chicken wrap with pecans and apples. Ask the chef if he's willing to make satay chicken with peanut sauce; it is the best lunch on the island. The bartender makes exotic tropical martinis, such as the mangotini, that you can sip by the pool. The bar will even bring buckets of beer to you on the beach, so you never have to leave your little patch of sand.

Deadline for comments, submissions June 29
B. Spicer Construction Limited in Bridgetown has submitted a proposal to operate a 9-acre quarry in Upper Granville. The quarry rock would be used for manufacturing aggregates used in the construction and development industries.
MLA Stephen McNeil has already spoken with the Nova Scotia Department of Environment and Labour, and will soon contact the proponent for more details regarding the proposed quarry. As provincial legislation does not mandate a public process or environmental assessment for quarries under four hectares, he is encouraging any people who have concerns or questions to contact the proponent and the department for more information.
The deadline for submission of comments to the proponent is June 29, 2007. Submissions can be sent to B. Spicer Construction Limited, RR1 Bridgetown, Nova Scotia, B0S 1C0.

I used to like Mewtwo but recently I hate it with a passion because of its fanbase always obsessing over how powerful it is over all the legendaries and completely bash other legendaries despite there are more legendaries that outclass it on both games and anime. I see alot of obnoxous fans on youtube and Nintendo Fan Forum. Also there is the problem of fans saying how it has the best design and the most powerful.
What about you? Was there a character from the games or anime that you hate because of its fans? Remember to respect others opinions and keep it civil.

Maputo — The first secretary of the ruling Frelimo Party in the central Mozambican district of Maringue, Andre Madumana, has accused members of the country's main opposition party, the former rebel movement Renamo, of abducting him and of beating him so severely that he has had to be hospitalized.
Speaking to reporters from his hospital bed in Beira Central Hospital on Friday, Madumana said "They beat me up and kept beating me until I passed out. Then they took me to the house of one of their members where they were waiting fro transport to take me to their leader, Afonso Dhlakama, in Gorongosa".
The delay in the arrival of the Renamo vehicle, and police action to release Madumana, prevented Renamo from implementing this plan.
Madumana said his problems began with a rally in the village of Gravata, where villagers complained that the presence of armed Renamo members "is terrorizing the population".
Madumana advised his audience to ignore the Renamo armed men because "they wouldn't do anything since they don't have the capacity to do anything".
Apparently, this disparaging remark reached the ears of members of Renamo's illegal "Presidential Guard", who decided to show Madumana that they could indeed do something.
After the rally, when Madumana and his delegation were returning to Maringue town, they found the road blocked by a barricade of stones and tree trunks. The Renamo men then grabbed Madumana and set about beating him with sticks and the butts of their guns. "I passed out, and when I awoke I was tied to a tree", he recalled.
Renamo nurtures a particular hatred for Madumana because he is a defector. He was once a Renamo guerrilla, and occupied a senior Renamo position in Maringue. But five years ago he clashed with the Renamo leadership, particularly with Dhlakama, and defected to Frelimo.
In the subsequent general elections, in 2009, Frelimo, for the first time ever, won a majority of votes in Maringue district, previously regarded as a Renamo stronghold. According to a report in the independent newsheet "Mediafax", Renamo holds Madumana responsible for its defeat in Maringue, and regards him as a traitor.
In hospital, one of Frelimo's most senior leaders, Political Commission member and former defence minister Alberto Chipande, visited Madumana.
"I'm amazed when I see members of political parties taking revenge by torturing other people", Chipande told reporters. "In this country, each person is free to choose the party he wants to join".
Despite his serious injuries, the Beira doctors consider that Madumana is not in any danger of his life. In the next few days he is expected to be discharged, but will continue out-patient treatment.
Renamo denies any responsibility for the attack on Madumana which it claims was carried out by "members of the public".

Since I've begun to grow primroses I have fallen in love with them. I am astonished at the variety, and want more. Where can I find more? I've noticed mine look a little bare, do they spread? I'm wondering what to grow with them?
Some species of primula have been grown for centuries, they seem to embody the comfort of home and cheerfulness of spring, and as their name suggests, primula are one of the first, or primary, plants to suggest winter's end.
I'm quoting excerpts from Joanne Rolfe's informative article on primroses in the February 2005 addition of 'Dig' magazine. Joanne suggests, "combine colorful primroses with shade-loving plants such as fern, hosta, blue forget-me-nots, bleeding heart, and the feathery pastel plums of astilbe. Primula also partner well with rhododendron, camellia species because they all like a somewhat acid soil." In time they increase, and nestle their way around their companions 'in a quite charming way' as Joanne Wolfe says.
I am sure you will find primroses and many other plants of interest at the Home and Idea Fair coming up the last weekend of April, actually Friday the 26th, Saturday the 27th and Sunday the 28th This event is one of the largest plant sales in the northwest. It is held at the Clark County Event Center at the Fairgrounds each spring. (Watch for their ad in the Columbian, coming up soon) The three-day plant sale is a production of the Specialty Nursery Association of Clark County. The association is comprised of small independent nurseries that specialize in plants that are new, and unusual, and ones not often seen in most garden centers. It's the most exciting and fun sale of the year. And I'm sure there will be primroses, galore!
I remember you suggested that gardeners make sure their tetanus shots are up to date. My neighbor got a bad infection working in a bunch of weeds and a brush pile the earlier owner left behind. I remembered your warning last year, so I told her not to treat it herself, and she should see her doctor. She said that at first the staff wondered if she might have tetanus, but tests came back negative. The doctor also went on to explain the importance of the shot and keeping up with the booster every 10 years. Just thought you might like to know.
Thank you, yes, I like reminders. We all get so busy, and time flies. Before I read in my HMO home health book I didn't know 'lock-jaw' infection comes from the soil. As I think back, I don't believe I heard this warning in my horticulture classes in college. In view of the fact that we don't hear the warning often enough, it does make me want to remind gardeners. As I read in my Garden Gate Magazine (June 2012, issue 105), "Lockjaw, is a serious disease caused by bacteria that lives in the soil and enters our body through breaks in the skin. Be safe and talk to your doctor about a vaccination and remember to follow it up with a booster shot at least every 10 years."
My mom gave me a division of her beautiful blue African violet. It was blooming then, but now won't bloom for me. I have it in good light, water it once a week, even gave it a beautiful new container. I've tried giving it a night light this last winter, still nothing. Can you guess why?
I'm not a great African violet grower, but I can run through a checklist for you, see if your methods and locations agree with Garden Gate magazine's thoughts on the subject. So as I see it there must be a problem with one of the four things- light, fertilizer, growing medium, or pot size. Any one of them may cause it stop blooming.
They say African violets need at least eight hours of bright filtered light. But then they also need 8 hours of darkness to bloom. Then they tell us we should feed the plant weekly, (7-7-7). The soil should be light, and type that does not pack down in root system, then last of all is pot size; make sure the pot is no deeper than 4 inches, and the width only 1/3 the size of the leaf span.
African violets must be more resilient than they say, because I have mine in a 12" terra cotta clay pot that is much wider than the plant, I fertilize when I remember to which is maybe every six to eight weeks — maybe. As I peeked between the leaves last night, I see many buds formed and about to bust forth, all through the plant.
They are a jolly mystery to me. I know there are many people reading this that are champion African Violet growers, and are shaking their heads right now, and I'm sure they can grow circles around me, and I'm glad they can. But that doesn't take the fun out of it for me.
