It's with great sadness that we report that Bryan Fuller is leaving his spot as consulting producer on NBC's Heroes.
Before you wonder, he isn't leaving due to any internal strife. Instead, he's working on developing some new shows / pilots for NBC Universal, the studio which produces Heroes.
The shows he's developing are keeping him so busy that he just ran out of time for everything and something had to give. The sad news is that Heroes was the show that got the short end of the straw.
We here at Screen Rant thought this was a great move on NBC's part. Heck, at one point fellow scribe Kofi Outlaw said that Bryan Fuller should be writing every episode of Heroes. Kofi further went on to demonstrate that all NBC needed to do was keep Fuller and director Greg Yaitanes and the show would dominate once again. Apparently no one at NBC was listening to us.
Aside from being the co-executive producer on the first season of Heroes, Fuller spent 2007 creating and running the ever popular series, Pushing Daisies. He returned to the Heroes staff when Daises was canceled. Fuller has also written / produced shows like Dead Like Me and the Star Trek spinoffs Deep Space Nine and Voyager.
So if Bryan Fuller is leaving a show like Heroes to work on these two other unnamed pilots / projects, we're left with several questions:
Will Heroes return to its floundering ways with Fuller out of the picture again? The cast is all looking to someone right now for that answer and it's possible the show may keep on track with the momentum it's had lately. And if Fuller has left some decent notes behind, someone can model the next season based on his take.
Considering Fuller has created some of Heroes most popular episodes and he's created the intensely fan popular Daisies, you have to wonder what exactly he is working on and just how freaking awesome it just might be?
For the time being, these pilots he's working on are sorely need by NBC since their shows regularly flounder in the ratings while CBS and Fox dominate the top-10 spots repeatedly.
For now, Fuller is under contract with NBC Universal and they need to take serious advantage of that opportunity while they have it.
Also of note: Despite being super busy, Fuller is still hankering to create a new Star Trek series for television that takes place in J.J. Abrams new realm. He is a staunch Trekkie.
Suddenly I'm a little concerned for Heroes. Are you?

I only said that, because Sproul doesn't play a physical game, or use his size effectively, it can not be used as a reason that he is better than Murphy. Notice that I am NOT saying that Murphy is better than Sproul. Arguing that Sproul is better than Murphy because he has 5' over him is not valid. That's all I'm saying.
There ARE examples of defensemen who did not use their size and did not reach their full potential. The current Tyler Myers. Jay Bouwmeester, Joni Pitkanen, Zach Bogosian for the past 4 years. And there ARE examples of defenseman who did, such as the current Zach Bogosian. So it can be learned.
But I'm talking about right now, at this moment.
Its not so much you who I have a problem with in your thread. The only thing I dont really agree with is saying Tyler Myers or someone else who doesnt use their size a whole lot is actually a worse dman or would be better if they were shorter. They could've been better if they were using their size more, but they still have advantages like reach, more body to take up shooting lanes and block shots and are heavier when theyre pinning you on the boards amongst other things.
Having that size gives you more potential to add a physical dimension (which Sproul does have a bit of, hes not a complete waste of size). A lot of times that size usually sacrifices skating ability and I would agree with that but that isnt close to the case for Sproul. You've gotta realize Sproul had a really late and big growth spurt, he was drafted to the OHL at 5'11. Hes gonig to need more time to adjust to his huge frame and add weight. Murphy has been 5'11 forever and was an early maturer.

Playoffs–Not Dead Yet
Dec 19, 2004, 1:56 PM EDT
The Redskins aren't dead just yet.
I did say it would be Monday before I used the P-word again, but a fan who goes by Kevin Mac posted what needs to happen for the Redskins to make it on the site that this blog proudly calls home, WarpathInsiders.com.
We need 6 of the following 7 teams to finish with 9 loses. Obviously we must win our last two games, which would eliminate Dallas and give Minnesota a loss, and this is reflected in the list.
In order to catch (and therefore pass) each team, the following needs to happen:
Minnesota lose next 2 (@ Detroit & vs Green Bay)
Rams* lose 2 of 3 (@ Arizona, vs Philly, vs Jets)
Panthers lose @ Tampa or vs New Orleans
Tampa lose once (vs NO, vs Carolina, @ Arizona)
Detroit lose once (vs Minnesota, vs Chicago, @ Tennessee)
Chicago lose once (vs Houston, @ Detroit, vs Green Bay)
Saints lose once (@Tampa, vs Atlanta, @ Carolina)
*Should the Rams win 2 of 3, we need Seattle to lose their remaining games (@ Jets, vs Arizona, vs Atlanta)
The only thing to add here is that for the Redskins to beat out the Rams in the aspects of the tiebreaker that can be determined now, the two Rams losses must be against Arizona and Philly. Otherwise, they will finish with the same conference record as Washington and the Rams will take the tiebreaker based on record in common games.
On the face of it, all of this is unlikely but not impossible. Certainly the Redskins can beat the Cowboys and have a good chance against the Vikings, who do not play well outdoors in September, much less in January. The teams that need to lose one of three are almost certain to do so. Nobody in that group is going to run the table.
That means that two of the three other teams must fall to 7-9. That's improbable, but still possible. Stay tuned. It ain't over 'till it's over.

Your gift sustains community behavorial health services, enhancing the scope and quality of programs that help children, families and adults find a brighter future.
You are making a difference, and your role as a donor is important to us. We value your privacy and adhere to the principals of the nationally recognized Donor Bill of Rights.
There are as many ways of making a gift as there are reasons for giving. Depending on what you give, there are different advantages as well. For significant gifts, there may be tax, financial and estate planning considerations for you to weigh carefully.
We always recommend that you discuss these considerations with your financial and legal advisors. Please feel free to contact us, in complete confidence and without obligation, for additional information for you and for your advisors.
Cash, by check or credit card, is the most usual way of making a gift. Your gift will qualify for a charitable income tax deduction. You may mail a check, make a pledge or use your credit card. Please make your check payable to Human Resources Center or HRC or use our secure online giving service.
Stocks, bonds and mutual funds which have grown in value since first purchased or acquired are a popular asset to donate. Your charitable income tax deduction is based on the full fair market value of the asset at the time of gift, and you avoid paying capital gains tax on any growth in value.
IRAs, Roth IRAs, and other tax-deferred Retirement Plan assets are often used to make outright gifts or are gifted by bequest. Most retirement plan assets increase in value during your lifetime and grow tax-free. As a result, income and/or estate tax must be paid on the income withdrawn by your beneficiaries after your death. The taxation of these assets makes them a highly recommended asset for gifting. It is also easy to change the beneficiary for some or all of one of these assets by contacting your plan administrator for the proper form.
Life Insurance Policies, especially paid-up policies, are another way to make a gift. You may simply designate HRC as the beneficiary of some or all of the proceeds of the policy or you may transfer ownership of the policy during your life time to take advantage of tax savings. The advantages depend on your situation and the type of policy you intend to use for gift purposes.
JWY Endowment Established in 2000, the John (Jack) W. Young Endowment Fund honors Jack's work to create a comprehensive behavioral health agency. As a result of Jack's dedication thousands of our citizens in need have received vital behavioral health services over the past 40 years. All Endowment Fund gifts are maintained in a restricted account which generates dividends and interest income while preserving the original dollar value of the donation. The fund's income is used to support HRC's many programs and services. Your gift to the fund provides a lasting tribute to Jack and a perpetual source of support for HRC.
Real estate is a flexible asset to use. You can make an outright gift or use real estate to create a charitable trust, which is a popular way to increase income and avoid capital gains tax. You can use residential, commercial or undeveloped real estate to advantage. You can even allow for the continued use of your home during your lifetime, while receiving immediate tax benefits.
Making a gift and keeping an income for life through a charitable gift annuity or charitable trust provides an immediate income tax deduction and dependable source of income for the rest of your life. You may fund such a gift with cash, securities or real estate (and other assets are sometimes used as well).
Giving Tree in memory of a loved one, celebrating a special occasion or expressing your appreciation to someone is easily done, but not easily forgotten. Leaves, stones, and acorns may be purchased and engraved with your loved ones names. (More information may be obtained my clicking on the picture above.)
Matching Gifts by your employer provide a way for you to increase your gift. Many companies encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations and match charitable contributions to qualifying organizations. Your Human Resource Department will know if health and social service agencies like HRC qualify. They will provide you with the company form you send in with your contribution.
Making a legacy gift through your will or estate plan is another way to make a gift, after first ensuring that your obligations are met. A bequest or other legacy gift provides you with a way to support HRC and can save estate taxes.
Gain tax benefits through state and federal charitable income deductions, the avoidance of capital gains and potential estate tax savings.
Increase spendable income, perhaps significantly, by converting a low-yielding asset into an arrangement that returns a safe, secure income, typically for one or two people.
Attain peace of mind by creating charitable gift arrangements that increase income, conserve family wealth or help solve estate planning issues.
Create a lasting legacy with a bequest or other planned gift.
Fulfill your charitable goals and aspirations for yourself and for your loved ones.Human Resources Centerof Edgar and Clark Counties

10 Absurd Comic Book Crossovers
Subscribe to our newsletter
The time honored tradition of the comic book crossover has a long and rich history of not making any damn sense whatsoever. Characters who are popular at the time will meet one another only to leave a bitter and bewildering taste in the reader's mouth, while publishers usually skip to the bank. Here are ten examples of the phenomenon, which we have painstakingly analyzed to spare our faithful readers.
Superman Meets the Quik Bunny
Superman, the defender of truth, justice, and the American way, meets the Quik Bunny, defender of almost flavor, and team up to defeat the Weather Wizard, a villain so powerful that every single one of his plots can be thwarted by a disposable poncho or a fuzzy sweater.
When Supes gets thwarted by foul weather it's up to the Quik Bunny to save the day which, oddly enough, means drinking an absurd amount of his chocolate milk. Yeah, it was just a promotional piece for Nestle but that doesn't change the fact that Superman needed the help of a diabetic hare to save the day.
Spider-Man and the Not Ready for Prime-Time Players
At the prospect of John Belushi getting diced like a drug-addicted onion at the hands of a samurai that's "for real," Spider-Man disrupts a live taping of Saturday Night Live. He's later banned from any future taping by Loren Michaels, a ban that remains in place to this day.
Archie Meets the Punisher
Frank Castle is contracted by the government to find the drug dealer "Red" hiding out in Riverdale. However, because Riverdale is perpetually stuck in the nineteen-fifties, he's not permitted to actually kill Red. So it's just like any other Punisher comic if the Punisher were written for your grandparents.
But where the ball-shattering violence is absent, wacky hijinks ensue. It just so happens that Red looks similar to Archie! Split your sides as Punisher dangles Archie out of a window by his wrists, or threatens his testicles with a table saw!
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Meet Archie
Why do people keep wanting to meet Archie? Has anything even remotely interesting ever happened in Riverdale?
Look, Ninja Turtles: you're four totally rad turtles in a half-shell (whatever the hell that means). I have a hard time believing that you don't have anything better to do than hit on Veronica and challenge Jughead to a hamburger eating contest.
Everyone Meets the Predator
It might sound like hyperbole, but it's close enough to the truth to say that every major comic book character of the nineties encountered the Predator in some form or another:
This is a bit unfair because Batman actually had three solo run-ins with Predators in three different books. This marked a monumental occasion for the Gotham City Police Department because they were actually doing their job long enough to allow Batman enough vacation time to fight killer aliens.
Here we have Superman fighting Predators. Naturally he has to be powered down because there really isn't much of a fight to be had between the two; the Predator does that weird jaw thing and Superman promptly punches a hole through the back of his skull. Whole thing's over in two pages, three if you want to throw in a variant cover.
And here we have Batman teaming up with Superman to fight Predators. At this point they've met more Predators than Chris Hansen. Zing!
Here we see Judge Dredd struggling to remain relevant.
And here's Tarzan vs. Predator, which has got to be the most one-sided fight since Todd Brodges vs. Vanilla Ice.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Arthur Moats didn't count on returning to the Steel City in 2015; however, when general manager Kevin Colbert and coach Mike Tomlin approached him with a three-year deal, he was more than happy to stay. Now with a long-term contract in hand, Moats says it's ttime to get to work and show the team made a wise decision. He can play both outside and...

Versatile Moats finds a permanent home in Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH (AP) If Arthur Moats is being honest, he's kind of surprised he's here. Not that the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker planned on leaving. But business is business. When Moats explored his options as free agency loomed in March, he figured he was heading south. ''We thought Atlanta was going to be the place,'' Moats said.

DIY Tissue Paper Pom Poms
Don't Call It a Party Without This DIY
by Emily Bibb
Like us on Facebook
Fitting for a wedding, party, or bridal shower, paper pom poms make for easy, colorful decor. But, since they can often be expensive (usually around $15 a pair on Etsy), why not DIY them? They're fairly simple to make and can be made in the colors and size of your choice. They even make for a fun gift wrapping idea. Learn how following the steps below:
- Tissue paper (20 inches x 30 inches). Choose one to three colors, or similar shades of the same color, to keep things looking cohesive.
- Scissors
- Monofilament
- Floral wire. White, if you can find it.
Here's how:
- Stack four to eight the sheets of paper on top of one another, depending on you puffy you want them to be.
- Now, fold the sheets into 1.5-inch accordion folds, all the way across.
- Prune the ends of the tissue into round shapes, to give them a petal-like look.
- Cut about a foot and a half length of floral wire.
- Wrap the wire around the center of the folded tissue and secure it by twisting.
- Now the fun part! Pull apart each layer, separating it from the center one piece at a time.
- Measure the length you'd like to hang your pom pom from and cut a piece of monofilament accordingly.
- Knot the monofilament to the floral wire and hang!
- Repeat until you've created all the pom poms you need. The more, the merrier!

I just made 40 of these guys for my backyard (lakefront) wedding in peacock, apricot, peach, and multi w/ peach and apricot. We then strung them across our cathedral ceilings (alternating strands of 4 and 5 flowers)... we had to fill and color that space with something! They were super easy to make, but I agree with mellymels that you need 10+ sheets. Since we bought packs of 480 sheets in each color (tons!!) we used at least 12 sheets per pom. The result was stunning and will definitely stay up for a while!

i made these for my wedding using martha stewart's diy tips. using 8 sheets they don't come out nearly as fluffy and full as they look on etsy or in the martha pics. i would recommend using 10 sheets or more. depending how full you want them. you can make small ones for napkins or gifts using just 4-6 sheets.

Joey is shy at first, but Ben soon guides his face down to his prick, fucking the younger man's throat. Joey has got a sweet mouth on him, working the older stud's prick to breaking point. Then Ben lays out Joey, lifting the young man's cock and balls out of the way as he slides into his tight ass hole. He gives him a good pumping with his ankles up around his ears then he bends Joey over and really does him hard! Joey also gets on top at one point, jerking his own dick as he grinds his anus on the meat.

Internal Combustion
The Story of a Marriage and a Murder in the Motor City
By (author) Joyce Maynard
Format: Paperback
Checking availability...
Internal Combustion by Joyce Maynard
Book DescriptionOn Mother's Day night, 2004, award-winning fourth grade teacher Nancy Seaman left the Tudor home she shared with her husband of thirty two years in the gated community of Farmington Hills, near Detroit, Michigan, and drove in a driving rain storm to Home Depot, to purchase a hatchet. Three days later, police discovered the mutilated body of Bob Seaman - a successful auto industry engineer, softball coach and passionate collector of vintage Mustangs - in the back of the family's Ford Explorer. As the shackles were placed on her wrists, Nancy Seaman asserted that her husband had been beating her, and she'd killed him in self-defense. At her trial, two radically different stories emerged. One of the couple's sons, Greg, testified that his father had been abusing his mother for years. The other, Jeff, testified for the prosecution, charging his mother as a cold blooded killer. Joyce Maynard's chilling work delves beyond the events of the crime itself, to explore the lives of an American family who seemed to have everything. Her exploration of the story led to a year's research in suburban Detroit - but the story she found there will take the reader to the Depression-era farm country of Illinois, the working class neighborhoods of the auto industry in its heyday and even, surprisingly, to a Baptist church in burned-out downtown Detroit. Along the way we meet a Transylvanian forensic pathologist, a beautiful young prosecutor, an old-school police chief, a television news crew hungry for ratings, the softball scorekeeper mom accused of carrying on an affair with the murdered man, and her two shell shocked teenagers, still reeling from the death of their beloved coach, and a mother who has to tell her daughter why her favorite teacher won't be in school any more. As in Joyce Maynard's previous books - including To Die For, based on a true crime, and her best selling memoir, At Home in the World - Joyce Maynard's themes here involve family secrets, the deep fissures that lie below the surface of the glittering exteriors, and the deep, potentially fatal, fissures in the American Dream.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brandon Jennings didn't play in the fourth quarter, and there's no telling if he'll ever play for the Milwaukee Bucks again.
Uncertain offseason for Bucks after Heat sweep
Jennings and the rest of the Bucks headed into an offseason of uncertainty Sunday night after being swept out of the playoffs by the Miami Heat. The 88-77 loss was the fourth straight by double digits for Milwaukee, and the Bucks couldn't even beat the Heat with Dwyane Wade on the bench, an ice bag on his aching right knee.
"This has been a crazy year. It's been one of the craziest years of my life, actually," said Jennings, a restricted free agent. "With the coaching changes and everything, it's just a total rollercoaster."
It isn't likely to stop for the next several months, either.
Jennings is expected to test free agency, though the Bucks can match any offer for him. Monta Ellis, who led Milwaukee with 21 points on Sunday, has an $11 million player option.
Oh, the Bucks need to make a decision on Jim Boylan, too. He's been Milwaukee's coach since the team parted ways with Scott Skiles in January.
"We have a lot of decisions to make," Boylan said. "But we just finished playing our last game of the season. To make those kind of statements is a little bit too quick."
Though the Bucks drew the defending NBA champions for their first playoff appearance in three years, they began the series brimming with confidence. Jennings even predicted that Milwaukee would win the series in six games.
Instead, the Bucks quickly saw how big the gap remains between them and the Heat.
"We've been playing close, playing hard," Ellis said. "They're just a better team."
Trailing by just three going into the fourth quarter of Game 3, they watched Miami pull away with a 12-0 run. They led by 10 after the first quarter in Game 3, only to have Miami take control of the game in the third quarter.
On Sunday, the Bucks got down by 11 early. But they steadily chipped away at the lead. When Mike Dunleavy drained a 3 and Ellis scored on a floater, it cut Miami's lead to 69-67 with 9:34 to play.
"We knew they were going to come out and play as hard as they could and with as much desperation as they could to try and continue series," LeBron James said.

Szechuan Green Beans With Ground Pork
Total Time
Prep 0 mins
Cook 25 mins
This is a bit spicy so you may want to decrease the pepper flakes and add more at the end for taste. I made this for a pot-luck Chinese dinner that is why the serving size is for 8. Can be cut in half. Delicious over Chinese white rice.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb ground lean pork
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 5 cups green beans, trimmed and cut in half
- 4 garlic cloves, grated
- 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 4 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
- 4 cups white rice, hot and cooked
- Steam beans 5 minutes (should be snappy not mushy).
- Combine the first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over med high heat. Saute pork mixture until pork loses it's pink color - stirring to a crumble. Add steamed green beans and garlic - saute for 3-5 minutes more.
- Combine hoisin sauce, sugar, pepper flakes and soy sauce in a small bowl - stirring with a whisk to incorporate ingredients.
- Pour mixture into pan with pork and green beans. Cook another 3-5 minutes or until heated through, stirring frequently.
- Serve over hot rice - Enjoy!

This was ok. I will make it again, but just seemed like it was missing something.
Better than any restaurant take-out I've ever had. I plan to double the sauce next time to pour over rice. Also, I will try steamed broccoli instead of green beans...personal preference. Can't wait to try this with modifications! thanks for the recipe!
Very good base recipe. We doubled the sauce as we prefer it saucy, but the original sauce ratio is truer to the Shanghainese version. I agree that there is a little something missing from the recipe. After tasting I added 2-3 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar (remember we doubled the sauce) and that helped to make the flavors pop.

France says it will stand by its choice to send a gay diplomat to the Vatican, which has dragged its feet in approving the envoy.
A French local councillor has been fined 3,000 euros for comparing France's black Justice Minister Christiane Taubira to a monkey in a tweet. He says it was just a joke.
Lesbian couples in France may now adopt babies born due to assisted reproductive technology (ART), the highest French appeals court ruled on Tuesday.

Let me break it down for you;
D1=all the 4x, 3x, 2x state champions. All the 4x, 3x, 2x national prep champs. All the senior nationals champs, all the nhsca 3x, 2x champions. Some one time state and natl prep champs.
D2=some 1x state champions, 4x, 3x state placers. 2x, 1x state runners-up. National prep 1x champs sometimes. national prep 4x, 3x placers. nhsca 1x champs, nhsca runners up.
D3=state placers, sometimes 2x and 3x, but they rarely placed any higher than like 3rd at states. sometimes you'll find state champions in D3 because their grades weren't high enough.
NAIA=everyone else. You still might find some state champions with bad grades, I even knew one that went NAIA because he had a 2.0 with a 700 SAT.
Look at Oklahoma City University if you're anywhere near there. Good college without extremely high expectations.
"It ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving foward, how much you can take and keep moving foward. That's how winning is done!"
Wrestling scholarships are hard to come by. Coaches divide up the scholarships between many wrestlers, so athletes still have to come up with money for school.
mhs's quick breakdown above sounds about right. Wrestling scholarships require serious achievement on the mat. But whatever your situation, better grades make you a better prospect.
maybe junior college for two years first. a lot of juco transfers get to D1 programs and do great.
but then again, i may be retarded
Plenty of state champs (usually from sub-par states) go NAIA. University of Cumberlands is full of them.
First Decide if you want to stay in state or go out of state. Go to website of all the Division 2,3 and NAIA schools that have wrestling teams in the State you want to go to school in. Get the coaches email and write to him explaining what you have accomplished and what you plan on accomplishing. On the schools website (on the wrestling page) there will also be a "athletic questionairre" form you can fill out. These 2 things (email & questionare) will get your foot in the door.
Good luck to you, D-2, D-3 and JUCO are extremly tough. I went to the Juco nationals last year and there was some D-1 calibur kids wrestling there so be prepared for some mad skills at the d-2 level. I would think very few good wrestlers in highschool take it to the next level so it could get ugly at times for you. Juggling the books and wrestling is not for everybody. I say Go for it! You will have state Champions in your room so you may feel overwhelmed by the talent you will face. The flip side to that coin is you will never know unless you try! Good luck
My daughter played lacrosse for one of the top HS teams in the country bu had no interest in playing collegiately. It was clear she wasn't a top prospect and I've been around college athletics for over 30 years. There are more women's lax opportunities than for men's wrestling, courtesy of title ix.
But a 4.61 weighted GPA, great SATs, and a slew of AP exams gave her other options. She received a nice fellowship offer that brought the cost of a great private school close to the cost of a state school.
"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!?
mhs189 hit it pretty close. I think it's important to have realistic goals and expectations of where you fall into the grand sceme of things. Obviously someone with limited success will never even get to sniff the room at a D1 or even a D2 BUT there are plenty of NAIA's that offer decent scholarships, great facilities and a heck of an opportunity to extend your wrestling career! Check out all the schools you may be interested in, submit the wrestling questioneers on their websites and work hard to finish off your high school career.
In my opinion, there is more $$$ available than most people realize especially if your grades are in order and your open to private schools within the NAIA.
JUCO's...there's another great opportunity, yes there are a handful that are pretty heavy with D1 or D2 talent who didn't have the grades to get through the clearinghouse but that's not the case at all.
If you're out in the Midwest, take a look at Oklahoma City University.
It's a good NAIA school with a beautiful campus and great facility.
"It ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving foward, how much you can take and keep moving foward. That's how winning is done!"
