This weekend we brought the headlines that kicked off 20-13.
Here's a look at the top stories from this summer.
June 2013 took a nearly fatal turn for Marissa Dub.
The Exotic Feline Rescue worker was cleaning out a tiger cage and left open a safety gate, allowing the cat to attack.
"We want everybody to be safe. We want the cats to be safe, and the cats are not safe unless the workers are safe and unless the community is safe," said Joe Taft, of the Exotic Feline Rescue.
Staying in Clay County, this summer closed what officials called the biggest sextortion case in the state's history.
Richard Finkbiner was sentenced to 40-years in federal prison.
Police uncovered thousand's of explicit images and videos on Finkbiner's computer.
The victims ranged in age from 12 to 17, and reached from Avon, Indiana to Anchorage, Alaska.
"I hope that this prosecution in addition to bringing justice to Mr. Finkbiner will serve as a lesson to parents across the country that protecting their children doesn't stop once their children come home," said Asst U.S. Attorney Zachary Meyers
State-wide, the Indiana Department of Education tried to go digital with I-Step tests, but it didn't make the grade.
Computer server problems caused nearly 80-thousand students to experience interruptions or delays.
So in August officials announced that they would have to check every test to see if the slowed process affected any of the results.
"So we're going through and spot-checking and looking for glaring errors at this time to see if their were children who performed extremely well in language arts but perhaps did not perform as well in math," said Dr. Karen Goeller, deputy superintendent of the Vigo County School Corporation.
And tests weren't the only thing on Vigo County school official's minds.
In September, the corporation announced that they would be working on a plan to build one centralized pool for all three high schools.
"It's good to see that we've had a strong support in place from the community at large. There are those who are against it, but not enough to stand up and say we don't want to know this community forward in many ways, one in swimming and two in economic development," said superintendent Danny Tanoos.
The Vigo County jail will have to make some big changes in the upcoming year...
After the ACLU filed a law suit claiming that the current building is overcrowded and dirty.
Inmates were transferred to the Knox County jail to reduce numbers, and officials are working on a plan to build a new facility.
"This is not just going to be somebody's opinion on what size jail we should build. We are going to go out to other counties and other communities that are similar to Vigo County and see what their numbers are how things work, we're going to inspect other facilities," said Chief Deputy Clark Cottom.
Over in Illinois, a community banded together to help search for missing Willow Long.
Hundreds poured into the town of Watson look for the 7-year-old.
But the case quickly turned tragic, when police arrested Willow's uncle Justin Deryke for her murder.
Turning the entire town upside down.
"I hope you fry, I hope you fry for hurting a kid. This is the most despicable crime anybody could ever do," said neighbor Dawn Erickson. "Willow we love you and were so sorry."
Tune in to NBC 2 News at 6 this week for the next round of headlines, and a look back at some of our favorite moments of this year.

Compass plant
Asteraceae or Aster
Silphium: old Greek generic name referring to resinous juice
Compass Plant
|Grows to 7 feet
tall in sunny open dry to dry-mesic prairies and often found along roadside
The large basal deeply cut leaves, usually pointing North to South, minimize water loss from the sun's direct rays.
The yellow flower, to 5 inches across, follows the sun's movement during the day. The young flower has a center of florets showing brown anther tubes until the yellow styles extend from the from them (as above) giving the shaggy appearance.
In late fall, the seeds mature around the outside of the center disc of the flower surrounding the sterile, infertile florets in the center. The seeds are large resembling a sunflower seed.
The tapered root can be several feet long digging deep into the dry soil for moisture. This plant can live to be over 100 years old and survive repeated mowings. (photo by Virginia Kline)
The roots were used to induce vomiting. Plant's other uses were for
arthritis, treat dry skin, increase urine and mothers milk, and as strong
laxative. The early leaves can be eaten in salads. The early pioneers gave this plant
its name referring to the north-south alignment of its leaves. It was said to be used as a
"compass" on cloudy days as they navigated their way though the tall prairie
Other facts: "It is an ordinary graveyard, bordered by the usual spruces, and studded with the usual pink granite or white marble headstones, each with the usual Sunday bouquet of red or pink geraniums. It is extraordinary only in harboring within the sharp angle of its fence, a pin-point remnant of the native prairie on which the graveyard was established in the 1840's. Heretofore unreachable by scythe or mower, this yard-square relic of original Wisconsin gives birth, each July, to a man-high stalk of compass plant or cutleaf Silphium, spangled with saucer-sized yellow blooms resembling sunflowers. It is the sole remnant of this plant along this highway, and perhaps the sole remnant in the western half of our county. What a thousand acres of Silphiums looked like when they tickled the bellies of buffaloes is a question never again to be answered, and perhaps not even asked" (Also Leopold, 1949).
Propagation: This is a good plant to use in prairie restorations as it grows well from seed collected in mid to late fall. Scattered the seeds in late fall to early winter in dry to mesic areas. Depending on condition, it could bloom in 2 to 5 years.
Blooming Buddies include: yellow - yellow coneflower (Ratibida pinnata), ox-eye sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides); white - daisy fleabane (Erigeron strigosus); pink (Monarda fistulosa subsp. fistulosa), Illinois tick-trefoil (Desmodium illinoense).

South Orange County Reliability Enhancement (SOCRE)
To improve safety and reliability for South Orange County's electric utility customers, SDG&E plans to upgrade the decades-old lines, poles and substations within the cities of
- San Juan Capistrano
- San Clemente
- Unincorporated areas of Orange County.
The Project
- Rebuild the substation in San Juan Capistrano that was last renovated in the 1950's;
- Upgrade the transmission lines from 69kV and 138kV to 230kV in order to provide the electric reliability needed today; and
- Replace existing structures with taller new steel poles, which enhance safety and reliability.
Reliability Benefits
- Improves reliability to existing electric system
- Modernizes electric transmission system and replaces outdated equipment
- Meet current and future energy needs of local home and business demands
- Allows for operating flexibility
- Meets federal reliability standards
What to Expect
Minimize community impacts. The four to five-year construction project will be phased in order to minimize community impacts as much as possible. SDG&E and contract crews will perform the majority of the work during normal business hours, Monday through Saturday. Should changes to this schedule be necessary, SDG&E will notify the local residents and businesses as well as the City and other appropriate agencies.
Maximize communication with community. SDG&E will contact all affected community members through a variety of communications means such as US Mail, email, door-to-door outreach and news media.
Advance notification. Residents near the substations and transmission corridors may be subjected to temporary construction-related disturbances such as noise, dust, and traffic interruption. SDG&E will notify local residents in advance as much as possible and be available to answer questions.

(AP) -- The run-up to Saturday night's Powerball drawing generated over $3 million in prizes for Minnesota players and earned the state more than $5.4 million.
A ticket sold in New Jersey is worth $338.3 million, but Minnesota State Lottery officials say the run that started Feb. 9 generated some big returns for Minnesota.
A ticket sold in Hennepin County for Saturday's drawing has won $1 million. Another $1 million ticket was sold in McLeod County for the March 6 drawing. Six tickets sold during the run won $10,000, and thousands of tickets won smaller prices.
The state's proceeds include $3 million for the general fund, $1.4 million for the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, and nearly $500,000 apiece for the Game and Fish Fund and the Natural Resources Fund.

Hands-On: Verizon Wireless iPhone
Article Comments 29
Jan 11, 2011, 12:09 PM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
Verizon Wireless and Apple today announced a CDMA version of the iPhone 4. It is identical to the GSM/AT&T version save for a few small differences. Here's what they are.
The iPhone 4 that Apple has made for Verizon Wireless is nearly indistinguishable from the original iPhone 4. The dimensions are the same. The weight is the same. The glass-and-metal feel is the same. The user interface of iOS 4.2 is the same. Only the keenest eye can tell them apart, at least in terms of the physical design.
Verizon iPhone
Click a thumbnail above for a larger view.
The only differences visible are the antenna bands wrapped around the side of the iPhone 4 (see photos). There is an extra black band in two different spots on the Verizon iPhone when compared to the AT&T iPhone. Also, the Verizon iPhone lacks a SIM card slot. Apple has also slightly repositioned the volume on/off switch. It has been moved down a few millimeters. This could cause problems with third-party iPhone cases, though otherwise it doesn't interact functionality.
The speed of the OS was the same as the iPhone 4. The Verizon iPhone runs iOS 4.2.5. Apple didn't explain why the Verizon runs a different version of iOS, but it likely has something to do with Verizon's network. The only noticeable difference in the software was the addition of Verizon's Mobile Hotspot feature (see screen shots). This software lets you activate a 3G data connection and then share it via Wi-Fi with up to five other Wi-Fi equipped devices. This feature is likely to cost above and beyond the normal data plan cost. You can also see the Verizon logo and signal indicators in the top info bar of the screen.
The Verizon iPhone 4 won't have the same simultaneous voice-and-data capabilities that the AT&T version has, which is a condition of the CDMA versus GSM network. This isn't something that Apple left out on purpose, and there's nothing Apple can do about it.
The iPhone 4 for Verizon Wireless lacks a world radio, capable of roaming on networks overseas (at least in Europe and most of Asia). Apple said it believed getting the iPhone to Verizon customers *now* outweighed some of the usability and feature considerations. That's also why the Verizon iPhone 4 lacks LTE 4G. Apple said it would have been forced to make some design changes that it was prepared to make. Most likely, adding LTE would have required a larger device to accommodate the LTE antenna and larger battery.
I breezed through the basic user interface, opened several apps, and interact with them. I didn't notice any speed problems in terms of the processor.
Apps/services that were network dependent all worked without flaw in the packed room. I tested two of the units on hand and didn't encounter and network slow-downs. PhoneScoop.com loaded with no problems.
That's about it. Apple did a good job of matching AT&T's iPhone 4 exactly.
Here's a video tour:

The egg to the left is an Ostrich Egg. I also carve Goose, Emu, and Rhea Eggs. We have been designing and carving eggs from 1990 and marketing them at local craft shows. The response has been amazing and many of our customers have suggested that we try to sell our eggs on-line. So, here here I am . Please look around my site, and feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. I want your visit to my site to be easy, fun and even educational. I are committed to providing a high quality artifact that will beautify your home or office or be a unique gift for someone special.
An Ostrich egg is about the size of a cantaloupe. They are so sturdy the baby chick can not break through the egg on it's own. It needs assistance from the adult Ostrich to hatch. The eggs are so thick that three dimensional detail can be carved into the shell.
An Emu is native to Austrialia. It is a large flightless bird only half the size of an Ostrich. The eggs are natually very dark green and as we carve through the shell a teal blue color is revealed and then a white layer and white interior. We try to design all our eggs to using these natural colors.
I also carve Rhea eggs another large flightless bird native to S. America and Goose eggs from the U.S.
We will also customize an egg for you.
Thanks for stopping by to say hello and browse around a bit...I hope you come back to see me again and again.... and be sure to tell your friends about my site......

Happy birthday George R.R. Martin: 65 wishes for 'Game of Thrones' authorAdd to Favorites | Game of Thrones
At 65 years old, "Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin is as famous as he's ever been. His best-selling book series has turned into an Emmy-winning, globally-recognized television show, and the demand for more "A Song of Ice and Fire" has never been higher.
In honor of his 65th birthday, Zap2it put together a list of 65 things we've love to see Martin accomplish in both his own life and with the "Game of Thrones" book and TV series'.

1. Finish the book series in the next decade.
2. Have your new HBO series be related to the "Game of Thrones" universe.

44. Keep having a dialogue with readers in regards to both the books and show.

46. Have your next project contain as massive a cast of characters as the world of Westeros.
47. Don't be afraid to make some good characters go bad.
48. Or some bad characters go good.

54. Mentor other authors to help them create ground-breaking fantasy like you.
55. Finish the "Game of Thrones" encyclopedia.
56. And the Dunk and Egg novellas.
57. Stop getting so distracted all the time.
58. Unless it's to give us amazing content like "The Wit & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister."
59. Keep going to fan conventions.
60. Keep wearing that hat.
61. Keep being a good sport.
62. Like this time you were on "Conan."
63. Or this time you dissed "Lost."
64. Or this time you said "Game of Thrones" would lose the 2014 Emmys to "Breaking Bad."
65. Continue to provide us great entertainment that spans genres, genders and ages.
Happy birthday George R.R. Martin, and thanks for everything you've given fans in the past 65 years.

S. Korean Puppet Forces Slammed for Talking about "Orthodoxy"
|Pyongyang, August 15 (KCNA) -- There spreads in south Korea a strange rumor slandering the DPRK, fortress of national independence, while distorting the historic significance of the August 15 liberation of Korea and justifying the fabrication of the puppet regime. The puppet forces are distorting the reality as if the regime were carrying forward any "orthodoxy", clamoring about its "root" and "history".
Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Friday terms it an unbearable mockery of the anti-Japanese martyrs who laid down their lives for the cause of the country's liberation and an unpardonable racket besmirching the proud history of the Korean nation which undauntedly fought against the aggression by foreign forces for the sake of the nation's sovereignty. It goes on:
The south Korean authorities are loudly talking about "law" and "orthodoxy". It is linked with their treacherous attempt at unification of social systems.
The puppet ruling forces are busy leading "unification" by peddling the "doctrine of gaining a great opportunity of unification" and "Dresden declaration" and, at the same time, misleading public opinion by setting up the "unification preparatory committee" and crying out for "getting ready for unification".
However, the unification of social systems which escalates mistrust and confrontation between the north and the south and brings even disasters of war is being unanimously rejected and denounced by the whole nation, to say nothing of south Koreans.
With no sophism such as "spirit of March 1 independence" and "orthodoxy" can the south Korean puppet forces justify the colonial puppet regime and conceal their ugly colors as traitors.
They had better do what they should do for the nation with the sound spirit, not staging a burlesque with strange rackets.
Minju Joson says the puppet group should stop talking about "orthodoxy", mindful that they can neither write off nor distort history.

Trainer: Jazz Fans Poisoned MJ Before Playoff Game
by Xfinity Sports | April 18, 2013 at 6:52 PM | General
By John Butler, Xfinity Sports
There has been speculation for years about whether or not Michael Jordan really had the flu in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals. MJ's trainer, Tim Grover, claims that the illness was actually food poisoning courtesy of a few Utah Jazz fans.
Grover told TrueHoop TV that he is "100 percent" certain that the "Flu Game" was the result of Utah fans who went too far. Grover goes on to explain:
We were in Park City, Utah, up in a hotel. Room service stopped at like nine o'clock. He got hungry and we really couldn't find any other place to eat. So we said eh, the only thing I can find is a pizza place. So we say all right, order pizza.
We had been there for a while. Everybody knew what hotel. Park City was not many hotels back then. So everyone kind of knew where we were staying.
So we order pizza.
Five guys came to deliver this pizza.
I take the pizza and I tell them: 'I've got a bad feeling about this. … I've just got a bad feeling about this.'
Out of everybody in the room, [MJ] was the only one who ate. Nobody else had it.
And then 2 o'clock in the morning I get a call to my room. Come to the room. He's curled up in the fetal position. We're looking at him, finding the team physician at that time.
Immediately I told him it's food poisoning. Not the flu.
The attempt by Jazz fans to help their city win a championship only adds to Jordan's legend. He scored 38 points in a two-point victory despite the illness.
"His Airness" would not only will the Bulls to victory in what should now be called "the Food Poisoning Game," but he also captured his fifth NBA Championship.The Jazz fans never got theirs.

B.Sc. degree in Fish and Wildlife Biology from the U. of Missouri/Columbia
I was employed 5 years in a large trout production facility in Washington state and moved to Prince Wm. Sound, AK in 1980 to work at a large Pacific salmon enhancement facility. In 1982 I moved to Sitka to work for Northern SE Regional Aquaculture and help develop the Medvejie Salmon Hatchery. I left NSRAA in 2003 but remained in Sitka, AK where I still reside and enjoy working with students and helping to develop the Fisheries Technology Program for UAS. In the summer months I operate Sitka Sound Tours using the 27' Quiet Mon to show visitors around beautiful Sitka Sound, relating information about the vibrant fisheries that Alaska enjoys and getting to meet new people on a daily basis. Sportfishing for king salmon takes precedence over nearly all other activities during the summer months. Camping, hiking and hunting get squeezed in as alternative activities when not fishing... it's a tough life.

On Monday, the world's largest and oldest stem-cell company, Geron Corporation of Menlo Park, California, dropped the bombshell that it was quitting development of the "miracle cure" cells. It had staked its future on an audacious attempt to raise people paralysed by spinal injuries from their beds by treating them with stem cells.
It had taken the company years and hundreds of millions of dollars just to win the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration for a trial of the therapy, which began a year ago. Now, it has halted with only four of the 11 planned patients treated. Behind the spinal treatment, Geron had lined up at least three others, for diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.
So what will happen to those programmes now, and what does the Geron decision mean for other companies and researchers still pursuing the dream of revolutionary treatments based on stem cells?
Why did Geron withdraw, and what will happen to its stem-cell programmes?
The company says the decision was purely financial: it didn't have enough money to pursue both its major programmes, one on stem cells and the other on anti-cancer treatments. It decided that backing cancer treatments was the best bet commercially. It is retaining core staff on the stem-cell work, though, in the hope that new backers or partners can be found.
Who's in the running?
The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) in San Francisco is a possible saviour. Already, the institute has awarded grants exceeding $230 million to multidisciplinary teams pushing therapies towards the clinic, and it has backed Geron's spinal trial in the past.
Alan Trounson, the institute's president, told New Scientist that CIRM is now talking to at least three other possible backers to take over the spinal trial. "We'll have to wait and see, but it's important that it happens in a short time [because] once it gets beyond a couple of months, it gets very difficult to hold people together," he said.
Why is Geron's decision to dump stem cells such a big deal?
It was the first company in the world to begin developing therapies based on human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Geron was the clear leader in working out how to grow cells from hESCs that met the same rigorous quality and manufacturing standards as conventional pharmaceutical products. The work was not uncontroversial, however: because human embryos had to be destroyed to obtain the original hESCs, some people, including the Catholic church and US evangelical groups, have always opposed the work on moral grounds.
So why did Geron base its business around hESCs?
These are the cells in embryos that give rise to all 200 or so types of tissue in the body. Because of this they can potentially help repair or regenerate any part of the body, which is why Geron thought they had the most clinical potential.
Is Geron's withdrawal the end for treatments based on hESCs then?
No, although it has narrowed the field. Advanced Cell Technology in Santa Monica, California, has already injected retinal pigment epithelial cells made from hESCs into five people with Stargardt's macular dystrophy, a rare form of eye degeneration. In the UK, a team at University College London led by Pete Coffey is hoping to test a tiny patch of pigment epithelial cells for treating another eye condition, age-related macular degeneration. And ViaCyte, a company in San Diego, California, is hoping to use hESC-derived cells that make insulin to treat people with diabetes, part-funded by CIRM.
What other stem-cell approaches are there, and how advanced are they clinically?
In 2006, Japanese researcher Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University, Japan, found a way to make ordinary cells of the body into embryonic-like cells with the same potential as hESCs to generate a huge range of body tissues. Called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPCs), they were hailed by opponents of abortion and embryo destruction as an ethically acceptable alternative to hESCs.
Any other approaches?
Over the past decade, researchers have identified dozens of living tissues and fluids from which "adult" stem cells can be extracted. Just this week, embryonic-like cells have been found in breast milk, extending a list of sources that includes blood, urine, bone marrow, amniotic fluid, placental tissue, fat and even nostril nerves.
So what are the pros and cons of these alternatives?
An obvious pro of iPCs is that they don't involve the destruction of embryos. But there are cons aplenty.
One very obvious problem early on was that to change ordinary cells into embryonic-like cells, they had be infected with viruses, which could potentially turn the resulting iPCs cancerous, making them unsafe for medical applications. Attempts to overcome this by
Earlier this year, Yang Xu of the University of California, San Diego, found that the immune systems of mice reacted to iPS cells made from their own cells, suggesting the cells were abnormal enough to be recognised as "foreign". So although iPCs have enormous promise, they're not yet suitable for testing in patients.

Northwestern Mutual Fights Pediatric Cancer with NCAA® Championship Floor
Milwaukee, WI, Sept. 9, 2013 – Starting this week, pieces of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball National Championship Floor are on sale to the general public. Northwestern Mutual,
a corporate partner of the NCAA, acquired the floor following the 2013 tournament and turned it
into souvenir pieces for fans of the national champion University of Louisville Cardinals.
Proceeds of the sale will benefit Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville.
Fans can purchase their piece of the championship floor by visiting GoCards.com/floor. There
they can choose from three different sizes of souvenir floor pieces ranging in price from $99.99–
$499.99. University of Louisville Head Coach Rick Pitino will autograph 1,000 of the larger
Proceeds from the sale will specifically help support research being conducted by a team led by
Kenneth Lucas, M.D., chief of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Kosair Children's Hospital
and division chief of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology and Stem Cell Transplantation for the
University of Louisville Department of Pediatrics.
"It is exciting to get this effort underway to raise funds for the fight against pediatric cancer,"
said President of the Northwestern Mutual Foundation John Kordsmeier. "We're proud to
support the communities that we serve, and donating the floor in order to raise money for cancer
research is a win for everyone involved."
The company mounted a similar effort in 2012 after the University of Kentucky won the national
basketball championship, raising more than $200,000 to help the fight against pediatric cancer.
"Northwestern Mutual's support continues to provide much needed funds to work on groundbreaking
research that can help thousands of children," said Thomas D. Kmetz, division
president of Women's and Children's services and president, Kosair Children's Hospital. "We're
very appreciative that they've stepped up again to help fight pediatric cancer."
The company also donated the center court logo portion of the floor to the University of
Louisville to hang in the KFC Yum! Center.
"As exciting as it was for us to win the national championship this year, it's also exciting to be
part of this effort to raise money for cancer research," said Pitino. "It's all about giving back to
the community, and Northwestern Mutual is providing a great example of how to be a good
corporate citizen."
Since 2012, the Northwestern Mutual Foundation in addition to Northwestern Mutual
employees, financial representatives and community supporters have contributed $1.5 million in
the fight against childhood cancer, which includes helping more than 200 families travel and stay
together during their children's cancer treatments and funding nearly 13,000 hours of critical research projects.

Top Five Tag Teams I'd Like To See in the WWE
by, 10-07-2011 at 03:02 AM (4839 Views)
Hey guys! My third-ever blog. Throw a party.
Okay, here are ten teams that I'd love to see in the WWE.
5. Skip Sheffield and Mason Ryan
I think these two would be a really interesting duo, because it's been a while since we've seen a team of purely strength-based competitors. I also think Sheffield's charisma could take him far in the 'E once he returns from that ankle injury, and Ryan has already competed in high-profile matches. That said, I don't think they could be tag champs because Mason's as charismatic as my dead cat.
Win the Tag Titles: No
4. Trent Barreta and Justin Gabriel
Think of the high-flying action we'd see if these two locked up with Air Boom. I believe Barreta is totally underused right now, so it'd be great to see him and Gabriel get some exposure, and maybe even a title run. The spot possibilities with these two would be endless, and it'd be a great way to get these two noticed, even if they're not main-eventers (yet).
Win the Tag Titles: Possibly
3. Heath Slater and Johnny Curtis
I kinda like the southern gimmick with these two. Now I know Curtis isn't southern, but his entrance theme is so hokey it could easily work with Slater's rock band thing. These two are both solid in the ring, and I like Curtis' mic work as well. Now I do think Slater lacks in that department, but it's nothing time can't fix.
Win the Tag Titles: Possibly
2. Alex Riley, Ted DiBiase, and Michael McGillicutty
Okay, I'm cheating. But still, these three could run a "fortunate son" gimmick lick Mike did with Ted's brother in FCW. I think that Riley's got the makings of a future main-eventer, and Mike and Ted are solid but have gotten lost in the mix as of late. As far as a tag title run, I give it a yes, because everyone likes a good Freebird Rule team. Or maybe that's just me...
Win the Tag Titles: Yes
1. Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder
I know, I'm cheating again because this team already existed. But let's be honest; are the Edgeheads the same Zack and Curt they are now? No, of course not. I think Curt's improved tremendously since he was put in FCW, and we all know about Ryder's recent spotlight. I understand that Reks is with Hawkins now, but I really see him more a singles competitor chasing the World Title. Ryder and Hawkins are incredibly charismatic, have great chemistry, and wouldn't need a gimmick change to get over. I could easily see them as tag champions for a long time.
Win the Tag Titles: Definitely
Okay, that's all folks, go ahead and leave a comment!

Guest Post: 2009 NFL Draft Review
Originally posted at NFL Draft Geek.
Once again, we are clearly shown by the 2009 NFL Draft, just how much of an uncertainty the NFL Draft really is. Everybody thinks they are getting a superstar with their 1st round pick, but the truth is, only about 17% of 1st Round Picks make multiple Pro-Bowls. This year stuck right to that mold, as currently, only 6 of the 32 1st Round Picks have made the Pro-Bowl (18%). Four out of the first 7 Picks were total busts, but the "Bust Rate" (F) wasn't too terrible (25%) Compared to a usual average of 30%. The "Hit Rate" (B or Higher) was actually pretty high, at 46%. However, the real problem with this draft class proved to be a severe lack of depth, with very few "Gems" found in the later rounds. After Round One, you can make the argument for only about 7-10 Guys as real impact players (Only 4 Pro-Bowlers). So once again, after 256 Selections, we have about 20-25 Impact Players (7-9%), and 10 Pro-Bowlers (4%). There we have it folks, the NFL Draft for you! I guess this is why we love it! Without further ado, let's get to it now and really break down the 1st Round!
1. Detroit Lions: Matthew Stafford – QB – Georgia
If we had written this article at the same time last year, it's possible the grade this pick could have been about a D. Stafford's NFL Career got off to a very unfortunate start as he struggled with many different injuries as a Rookie, then in the very first game of the 2010 Season got his throwing shoulder smashed by Julius Peppers and missed virtually the entire season. 2011 was the make-or-break season for him, and it proved to be Stafford's coming out party as he threw for the 5th most yards in NFL History, with 5,038. Stafford to Calvin Johnson is an unstoppable combo, and they show no signs up slowing up. If Stafford can stay healthy, and be anything near what he was last year, he'll be one of the elite QB's in the league. It took some patience, but this #1 Selection provided dividends!
Grade: A
2. St. Louis Rams: Jason Smith – OT – Baylor
Going into draft day, the Rams were torn between taking either Jason Smith or Eugene Monroe. Word out of the Rams camp is that the coaching staff wanted Monroe because he was more ready, while the front office wanted Smith because they liked his potential. Well the front office won the argument and that's a big reason why the Rams had the #2 pick in the 2011, for the 3rd straight year. While Monroe has turned into a steady LT for the Jaguars, Smith struggled with consistency, injuries, and was even moved to RT. Even at RT Smith is struggling, and only playing because there isn't a better option for right now.
Grade: F
3. Kansas City Chiefs: Tyson Jackson – DL – LSU
This was the first draft for GM Scott Pioli, and everybody was wondering how the former Patriot executive would turn around this team. He came out swinging, and it's safe to say that Jackson was a big surprise to many. On draft morning, the word of Jackson going #3 was leaked, but many people thought it was to ridiculous to actually happen. Pioli and the Chiefs felt that Jackson was going to be their version of Richard Seymour. However, Jackson struggled in his transition to the 3-4, and injuries have kept him out of the lineup. He was terrible in his first two years, but slightly improved in year three. However, he still graded out as a very average 3-4 DE, and for the #3 pick in the draft, this can be classified as a bust!
Grade: F

Former NFL safety and NFL Network analyst Darren Sharper was charged with two counts of rape by use of drugs in Los Angeles County on Friday, the county's district attorney's office announced.
According to the district attorney's office, the 38-year-old Sharper is alleged to have drugged a pair of women in October and another two women in January. In both cases, Sharper is alleged to have given the women a shot after inviting them to his hotel room, the district attorney's office said.

Wraps are a great way to load all sorts of nutrients into your lunch – vitamins through vegetables and herbs, protein through meat and calcium through dairy. Go ahead and change this recipe by putting your own spin on the ingredients!
What's in it?
400g diced lamb
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 packet low-fat wraps (Mountain Bread is a good choice too!)
1 quantity of beetroot & yoghurt dip (please refer to separate recipe)
1 large carrot, grated
1 cucumber, cut into sticks
Handful of fresh herbs (like mint, parsley, basil)
How you make it:
- In a non-reactive mixing bowl, place lamb, cumin, salt, garlic and olive together. Mix well to combine, cover with cling wrap and marinate for 15 minutes, or longer.
- Place large frypan over high heat, once hot, add lamb and cook for 5 – 10 minutes until lamb is cooked through to your liking. Once cooked, you can refrigerate in a sealed container until you are ready to make your wrap or you can make a warm lamb wrap.
- To make your wrap, place one wrap on a clean surface, add a few tablespoons of beetroot & yoghurt dip down the centre of the wrap leaving a 10cm gap between the bottom of the wrap and the start of the dip. Place carrot on top of the dip, place a length of cucumber to the side of the dip, place lamb on top of the dip, garnish with herbs and wrap in a neat parcel to serve.
Beetroot & Yoghurt Dip
This dip is a super easy and healthy addition to add flavour to wraps and salads but also to eat with veggie sticks like carrot and cucumber. I use this dip recipe in my Greek lamb wrap.
What's in it?
300g beetroot, cokes
3 tablespoons natural or Greek yoghurt
¼ teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
How to make it:
- Using a small food processor or stick blender puree the beetroot until it is smooth. If you don't have a processor or blender, use a grater, it will be fine but the dip will just have a different consistency.
- Add yogurt and cumin and stir to combine. Taste the dip and add more yoghurt or cumin to your liking. Keep refrigerated in sealed container until you need it.
- I would encourage you to boil up fresh beetroots for this recipe but if you don't have time canned beetroot is fine, but have a look at the ingredients in the brine and try to choose one with less additives and preservatives.
- If you use canned beetroot it can have a vinegar taste to it, if you use fresh beetroot and would like to add a little acid, add a squeeze of lemon
- You can also use Greek yoghurt for this recipe

The anti Sri Lanka protests in the Tamil Nadu state has resulted in drop of tourist arrivals from Sri Lanka. The pro Tamil parties in India have been forcing Indian government to support resolution by USA in the UNHRC.
The resolution is over human rights violation by Sri Lankan army on the Tamil people in Sri Lanka. Few weeks back some images surfaced in which Sri Lankan army was shown killing the 12 years old son of LTTE chief Prabhakaran.
Every year more than 300,000 Sri Lankans visit India for various reasons like pilgrimage, Cricket etc are the main reason for Sri Lankans to visit India. Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu is considered as the gateway for Sri Lankan tourists to India.
However ahead of the vote in UNHRC, Tamil Nadu is witnessing strong protest against the Sri Lankan government. Schools and college students have come out in support of the resolution and they have received backing of the Tamil parties like AIADMK and DMK.
There have been reports of Sri Lankan tourists facing protests in Chennai. As a result tourist arrivals from Sri Lanka has dropped by 10 to 15 percent in last couple of months.
Today India has voted against the Sri Lanka in UNHRC but it is doubtful that anti Sri Lanka protests in Tamil Nadu will be stopped. The tour operators are worried that tourism will continue to suffer in the coming months.
The national carrier of Sri Lanka has decided to cut down flights between Colombo and Chennai by 50 per cent. Sri Lankan tourists are really nervous in coming to Chennai as they might face strong protest.
Sri Lanka also happens to be big hub for medical tourism in India. This industry is also likely to take the hit. Tourism will also suffer as BCCI is unsure about allowing Sri Lankan players to play in the upcoming IPL season, especially in Chennai.
Since the Sri Lankans were attacked in Tamil Nadu recently then arrivals have dropped by 15 per cent. The fear now is that Sri Lanka tourism will also pay the price as Indians too are nervous about traveling to Sri Lanka. India is the biggest outbound tourism market for Sri Lanka.

EASTON, Md. (AP) - Maryland State Police say two people, including a trooper, have been injured in a crash on Route 50 in Easton.
Police say on Monday afternoon, an unmarked car driven by 43-year-old Detective Sgt. Kevin Beauchamp was traveling eastbound on Route 50 approaching Dutchman's Lane.

Beauchamp and Mills were flown to Shock Trauma in Baltimore. Troopers say Mills is in serious condition and Beauchamp is in fair condition.

On my last shopping trip, I was so excited I brought the same skirt in two different Frederick's of Hollywood stores. Yes, I did like that skirt.
So today, I returned one of the skirts. I recognized both woman in the store, I had done large purchases with each of them. To complete the look, I needed a white lacy bra and waist cincher. First they helped me select the bra and when I asked for the waist cincher in size XL, one of the ladies went to the back room to get it. Very nice and they suggested a white matching bra instead. I picked out 2 pairs of stockings and then checked out. One of the woman who I recently purchased the clothes from asked if she liked the clothes. I told her yes, she really liked them. After check-out and crediting for the return, I handed them both MY card with a note on the back "Thank you for helping me shop. I'd love your comments on my blog".
Then onto Victoria's Secret where I purchased lipstick (Vino color) , lip gloss(Heated color) and lip liner(classic red). I then proceeded to shop for a white slip. Alas no extra large. When I checked out, the cashier told me the lip gloss was the demonstration tube. She asked one of the ladies to bring a tube to the front counter. When she was done checking me out, I handed her my card also. As I left, I said goodbye to the lady who brought the lip gloss to the counter and some other ladies at the makeup counter. They were ultra friendly. My sixth sense said they all knew it was for me. How many men come in and pick out make-up?
Of course, I was wearing NO male attire underneath( no socks, no underpants, & no undershirt). I was wearing a bra, satin slip, silk panties, garter belt, stockings, half slip, two ankle bracelets, and my toe nails were painted bright red.
Oh I love shopping with females. No blog entry would be complete without my thanking the ladies who assisted me today. Thank you so much ladies.
Anybody want any more convincing that Mistress Samantha has turned me into her girly girl?
If so, leave a comment with your suggestion as to what she should have me do?
