- Mar 25:
- Broncos' Peyton Manning beats fear factor in his return to NFL
- Mar 21:
- Denver Broncos' first pitch to Peyton Manning a home run
- Woody Paige: Peyton Manning just felt comfortable in Denver
- Kiszla: John Elway heartbroken at dumping Tim Tebow, calling the QB "a great kid"
- Tim Tebow's career with Broncos nearly over, as John Elway goes with Manning
- Manning has "lot of work to do" on neck, but Broncos know
- John Elway, Peyton Manning share a familiar drive
Free agency 2012 begins with the Peyton domino effect.
If the Broncos are able to sign quarterback Peyton Manning — who even after missing the 2011 season ranks third in NFL history behind Brett Favre and Dan Marino in yards passing (54,828), touchdown passes (399) and completions (4,682) — a further Colts migration to Denver could follow.
Among Manning's teammates recently released by the Indianapolis Colts: wide receiver Reggie Wayne, running back Joseph Addai, "pass catching" tight end Dallas Clark and center Jeff Saturday.
Manning no doubt would like to bring one or two of those players with him. The Broncos are strong at wide receiver (Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker) and center (J.D. Walton), and they want a younger tailback to team with Willis McGahee.
Clark, though, would help the transition from the John Fox offense to the Manning offense. Fox's offense doesn't throw much to tight ends — Daniel Fells, Dante Rosario, Virgil Green and Julius Thomas combined for only 30 receptions last season. Manning completed at least 100 passes to tight ends in each of the past four seasons he played (2007-10).
Then again, if the Broncos sign Manning, chances are they will use up almost all of their free-agent budget, though the salary cap was announced Sunday at $120.6 million for 2012, a slight increase over a year ago.
And even with salary cap room, cash is tight. Broncos owner Pat Bowlen is willing to make an exception and dig deeper into his pockets (or increase his debt?) for a future Hall of Fame quarterback such as Manning.
But the free-agent plan WP — Without Peyton — will be more about getting the best player for what the Broncos believe is the fairest price.
That starts with the Broncos' own 17 free agents, a number that doesn't include kicker Matt Prater, who was franchise tagged, but does include long snapper Dave Binn, who was signed for the final day of the season, and safety Brian Dawkins, who is going down to the final hours with his decision on whether to retire. Among the 17, the Broncos are trying to lock up only defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley with a new contract before the free market opens at 2 p.m. Tuesday.
Wide receiver and kick returner Eddie Royal has told the Broncos he wants to hit the market. But how much greener can the grass be elsewhere if Manning is stepping on the practice fields at Dove Valley team headquarters?
Other key Broncos free agents are starters Marcus Thomas, Joe Mays, Spencer Larsen and Fells, and key role players Wesley Woodyard, Jason Hunter, Brady Quinn, Mario Haggan, Russ Hochstein and Rosario.
Here's a look at some of the available free agents as the Broncos may view them:
• Pipe dream: Quarterback Matt Flynn, defensive end Mario Williams, wide receiver Vincent Jackson and cornerback Cortland Finnegan. These are the best free-agent players available, but their price is too high.
• Solid upgrades but unlikely: Running back Michael Bush, cornerback Brandon Carr, wide receivers Brandon Lloyd and Marques Colston, middle linebackers Curtis Lofton, Stephen Tulloch and David Hawthorne and safety LaRon Landry. This also may be an overvalued group, although not quite as expensive as the top-tier players.
• Solid upgrades possible: Quarterback Chad Henne, safety Dwight Lowery, wide receivers Reggie Wayne, Robert Meachem and Laurent Robinson, defensive tackle Kendall Langford, outside linebacker Erin Henderson and middle linebacker Dan Connor.
Henne comes into play if the Broncos don't sign Manning. Wayne comes into play if the Broncos do sign Manning.
Henderson may draw interest from the Broncos because of D.J. Williams' six-game suspension and $5 million salary.
• The value class: Quarterbacks Josh Johnson and Dennis Dixon, safeties Jim Leonhard, Reggie Nelson and Brandon Meriweather, wide receiver Early Doucet and middle linebacker Jameel McClain. Johnson or Dixon would be a nice complement to Tim Tebow, speaking of the Peyton domino effect.
If the Broncos sign Manning, will Tebow be traded to minimize the "circus?"
If the Broncos don't sign Manning, do they then try to build a team around Tebow?

Flying out of Naples
Our flight departs Naples on Luthhansa at 1:30 PM on the last Sunday in April (to Frankfurt) to connect to our United flight back to the US. 1) Can we check-in online and print boarding passes the day before so we only have to go through security directly to our gate? Or do we have to check in at the counter? are are there Kiosks? 2) What time should we arrive at the airport (carry-on only, no checked bags) 3) Thinking about taking the Curreri bus. Departs Sorrento at 10:30 am and RS book says it takes 1.5 hours, so will arrive at airport at noon. Is this bus reliable and time sound about right? It's a Sunday, but April 25th is Liberation day so this is an Italian Holiday weekend. Should we worry about traffic?

Linux Beta from Google's Chrome Browser
Google has released the first beta version of its Chrome browser for Linux and Mac OS for download. Until now, only an open source variation, Chromium, has been Linux compatible.
As Mark Larson from Google's Chrome Team reports in his blog, the beta is based on the code-base of release 184.108.40.206, but also brings support for HTML 5 video tagging, which failed to function in the Chromium variation with the same version number. The beta Linux version can be downloaded here.
A few days have past since Google split the Chromium branch from the official Chrome version. Chromium is now in version 4.0.260 and comes with support for bookmark synchronization.

The menu can even be arranged so that the options appear in the sequence you find most logical.

Originally written on Fox Sports Carolinas | Last updated 12/28/12
January isnt here yet, but North Carolina may already be in resume-watching mode. Tar Heels supporters have generally viewed the RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) with respect to North Carolina's worthiness for a No. 1, 2 or 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Forget the stress of being on the NCAA fence. But with just one nonconference game remaining before UNC dives into a new 18-game ACC format, Roy Williams team has done little to build its resume. And if the unranked Heels cant beat No. 20 UNLV on Saturday at the Dean Dome, it must use conference play to make its case for inclusion come March. Asked Friday if its too early to worry about tournament resumes, Williams told the media, Its not for you guys, but it is for us. Honestly, has Williams ever been asked about the tournament so early in a season before? Only two of his teams have failed to qualify. His first Kansas squad was on probation and the 2010 Tar Heels were decimated by injuries and barely missed out. Otherwise, the...

Geographic Range
This species is distributed throughout southeastern Asia. It occurs in southern China (including Hainan Island), southwest through northern Vietnam, Laos, Kampuchea, and northern Thailand to southern Burma. (Barbour and Ernst, 1989; Kirkpatrick, 1995)
Platysternon megacephalum lives in rocky, mountain streams and brooks. The water of these streams is usually fast moving and has a temperature of 12° - 17°C which is favored by this species. (Barbour and Ernst, 1989; Kirkpatrick, 1995)
- Habitat Regions
- freshwater
- Terrestrial Biomes
- mountains
- Aquatic Biomes
- rivers and streams
- Other Habitat Features
- riparian
Physical Description
Platysternon megacephalum is a very odd-shaped turtle with a huge head and a long tail that are almost the same size as its body. Total body length reachs up to 40 cm. Compared to most turtle species, the head of Platysternon megacephalum is oversized for its body. It's triangular and cannot be withdrawn into its shell. The turtle's skull is solid bone and, unlike most turtles, has no openings in the upper surface. Adults usually have a shell about 15-18 cm in length and it is more flattened than many other freshwater turtles. The carapace is yellow to brown, rectangular with a squared-off front and a more rounded back end, while the plastron is usually yellow. The toes are slightly webbed with strong claws. This species is noted to have legs covered with large scales and a tail that is very long and muscular. If needed, the tail can support the entire weight of the turtle.
There is no marked difference between the male and female, except the plastron of the male has a tendency to be more concave than the female.
The young are more brightly marked than the adults and have more pronounced serrations at the rear of the carapace. Also, the tail is often longer than that of an adult. (Inger and Schmidt, 1957; Kirkpatrick, 1995; McCarthy, 1991)
- Other Physical Features
- ectothermic
- bilateral symmetry
- Sexual Dimorphism
- sexes alike
- Range length
- 40 (high) cm
- 15.75 (high) in
The reproductive habits of Platysternon megacephalum are almost completely unknown except for a few details. This species has been reported to lay 1-2 white eggs at a time that measure about 37 mm by 22 mm. The eggs resemble bird eggs. (Kirkpatrick, 1995)
- Key Reproductive Features
- gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate)
- oviparous
- Average lifespan
Sex: male
Status: captivity
- 15.0 years
- Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research
- Average lifespan
Platysternon megacephalum is nocturnal. It usually spends the day under a rock or under water. At night, it surfaces to search for food along the stream's bottom, or out of the water along the stream's edge. It is not a good swimmer but is well adapted for walking and climbing on rocks.
If aggravated, it will bite and retain its grip for a long period of time. The use of this animal's strong, hooked jaws can produce very serious injuries. This animal is not known to be aggressive toward other turtles confined with it. (Barbour and Ernst, 1989; Kirkpatrick, 1995)
Food Habits
Platysternon megacephalum is carnivorous. Using its strong beak and jaws, it consumes small marine and terrestrial animals such as fish, mollusks, and worms. It often searchs for food at night along stream bottoms and among low shrubs. (Barbour and Ernst, 1989; Kirkpatrick, 1995)

A year since the brutal gang rape of a 23-year-old trainee physiotherapist in the capital city, Bollywood celebrities like Gauri Shinde and Mallika Sherawat said days like this can't be forgotten.
The incident where six men, including one minor, were involved in the heinous rape of the young girl, led to several protests against women-related crimes.
Here's what B'town has to say-
Gauri Shinde: Let's please not forget this horrific day! And the bravery that followed.
Mallika Sherawat: RIP Nirbhaya, you live in our hearts, will light a candle today in your memory.
Aditi Rao Hydari: Can we never forget this horrific day, make sure it never repeats...and send love and good energy to all the brave hearts and their parents.
Kunal Kohli: One year since Nirbhaya and nothing has changed vis a vis security of women or the ridiculous law that lets 'minors' get away with rape.

NATO flotilla to start patrolling off Libyan coast
BRUSSELS NATO warships will begin patrolling off Libya's coast to enforce the U.N. arms embargo Wednesday, as the alliance appeared set to assume responsibility for the no-fly zone over the North African nation to protect civilians.
Diplomats said an agreement is gradually emerging about how NATO would take responsibility for the flight ban, after the United States - which has effectively commanded the operation until now - reiterated that it was committed to the transition.
The compromise proposal would see NATO take a key role in the military operation guided by a political committee of foreign ministers from the West and the Arab world. Officials said the North Atlantic Council - NATO's top decision-making body, which already has approved military plans for enforcing the no-fly zone - may decide to start them later Wednesday.
"The best outcome would be to have NATO handle military coordination, but hand political decisions to an ad hoc council of states participating in the coalition, including Arab countries," said Francois Heisbourg, director of the Foundation for Strategic Research, a think tank funded by France's Defense Ministry.
Spanish Defense Minister Carme Chacon endorsed the proposal for handing over control of the Libya operation to a political committee. "We are comfortable with that," she said.
Germany is in a more difficult situation. The government, which is refusing to participate in the no-fly operation, approved on Wednesday sending air crews to man NATO's surveillance planes over Afghanistan after withdrawing troops from the alliance's Mediterranean Sea missions to avoid involvement in Libya.
The government's decision to send up to 300 troops to man AWACS surveillance planes over Afghanistan is intended to help ease the strain on other NATO members, who may need to deploy to the Mediterranean.
Military experts say coordinating the enforcement of a no-fly zone over a nation the size of Libya requires a specialized and experienced staff of several hundred people. The U.N. Security Council authorized the no-fly zone to protect Libyan civilians after leader Moammar Gadhafi launched attacks against anti-government protesters who wanted him to leave after 42 years in power.
The mission to provide round-the-clock coverage of Libyan airspace would require not just fighter planes patrolling the skies, but also attack jets armed with anti-radar missiles to suppress any threat from the ground. It would entail several aerial tankers flying circular patterns over the Mediterranean to refuel the warplanes. At least one and probably two AWACS airborne surveillance and control aircraft would also have to be nearby to monitor and coordinate the entire operation.
The United States is one of the few nations with the operational headquarters capable of controlling such a complex mission. None of NATO's European members have that capability and therefore rely on the alliance to provide it.
If NATO assumes responsibility for the enforcing the no-fly zone over Libya and the U.N. arms embargo against Libya, this would be controlled from NATO's operational center in Naples, a NATO official said, speaking on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to the press.

German American Bancorp says acquisition boosted earnings
Jasper, Ind.-based German American Bancorp, which is making a strong push into the Evansville market, said Thursday its first-quarter earnings were helped by its recent acquisition of Bank of Evansville parent American Community Bancorp.
In its first-quarter earnings report, German American said its net income of $4.6 million, or 37 cents per share, rose 28 percent from the same period a year earlier.
in January, German American completed its acquisition of Bank of Evansville. The addition of the three Bank of Evansville offices brings German American to 33 offices in 12 Indiana counties.
Adjusting its first-quarter net income to exclude the Bank of Evansville acquisition, German American would have earned 35 cents per share, meaning that the newly-acquired bank contributed 2 cents per share to the quarter's earnings.
"The fact that they were able to be a positive contributor in the very first quarter is a very good sign," said Mark Schroeder, German American's chief executive officer.
Because of the costs associated with acquiring a bank, Schroeder said, typically it takes about six months before a new acquisition starts having a positive impact on earnings.
Other highlights of German American's earnings report:
n Net interest income — the difference between what a bank earns in interest and what it must pay in interest — rose $3.5 million year over year, to $15.1 million. That increase, the bank said, was because of both its Bank of Evansville acquisition and growth in its core deposit base.
n Noninterest income rose $1.9 million year over year, to $6.0 million. Increases in the bank's insurance, trust and investment product fees all contributed to that growth.
n Noninterest expenses rose $3.6 million, to $13.9 million. Most of that extra expense was associated with German American's acquisition of Bank of Evansville.
n Non-performing loans totaled $18.9 million as of March 31, representing 1.73 percent of total outstanding loans. That's up from the previous quarter, when non-performing loans stood at $11.2 million, or 1.22 percent of total loans. The increase in non-performing loans, German American said, came from three sources: $2.2 million from loans acquired in the Bank of Evansville transaction; $3.9 million from loans acquired last year when German American acquired two Farmers State Bank branches; and $2.4 million in a commercial real estate participation loan.

DATE & TIME: Saturday, March 2, 2 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Savage Arena (7,300) -- Toledo, Ohio. Television: None.
Home Record: Ball State 7-8, Toledo 7-3. Away Record: Ball State 5-6, Toledo
5-9. Neutral Record: Ball State 0-0, Toledo 1-0. Conference Record: Ball State
5-8, Toledo 8-5. Series Record: Toledo leads, 43-39.
GAME NOTES: The Ball State Cardinals aim for their third consecutive win as
they visit Savage Arena for a Mid-American Conference matchup with the Toledo
Rian Pearson poured in 24 points and Julius Brown registered a double-double
of 12 points and 10 assists to lead Toledo to an 85-78 victory over Ball State
on Jan. 30 in the first meeting of the season series. Jauwan Scaife paced the
Cardinals with 19 points, while Majok Majok recorded a double-double of his
own with 16 points and 15 rebounds. The Rockets took full control of the bout
and led by as many as 15 in the second half before Ball State ran out of time
with a late rally attempt. The victory improved Toledo to 43-39 all-time
versus the Cardinals
Ball State out-produced Central Michigan to claim a 95-90 victory over Central
Michigan in a shootout on Wednesday to mark its fourth win in five games. The
recent hot streak has moved the Cardinals to an 12-14 overall record and made
them 5-8 in league action. The team has seen significant offensive production
from Scaife and Jesse Berry, who are netting 15.5 and 12.3 points per game,
respectively. Ball State has been mediocre on both ends of the floor this
season to place ninth in the MAC in scoring offense (64.2) and just one slot
better in scoring defense (67.6).
Scaife pumped in 34 points to lead the Ball State Cardinals as they took down
the Central Michigan while Chris Bond and Jesse Berry chipped in 15 points
each. Majok just missed a double-double for the Cardinals as he tallied 10
points, nine rebounds and three blocks. The Cardinals held a 33-27 edge in the
rebounding battle and outscored the Chippewas, 26-14, at the charity stripe.
Tod Kowalczyk's Rockets had been on fire after a poor 6-10 start put them in a
hole by the midway point of the season, winning seven times in eight outings
to climb back into the race for the West Division crown. Toledo was unable to
keep the ball rolling on Wednesday in its key matchup against Western Michigan
and dropped a 65-62 decision which allowed the Broncos to create a one-game
distance between them in the race for first place. One more Toledo loss or WMU
win will grant the Broncos the divisional title. The loss decreased Toledo to
7-3 at home in 2012-13, for the remainder of its regular season.
Pearson is leading the Rockets and the conference in scoring with 18.2 ppg,
while also placing seventh in the league with 7.1 rebounds per outing. Brown
adds 13.2 ppg and 5.7 apg to the mix. In the mid-week setback, Brown missed a
3-pointer late in the contest for Toledo that would have tied it up, but two
missed free throws by WMU's Shayne Whittington gave the Rockets one more
chance. However, Dominique Buckley misfired on a final 3-point try and Toledo
lost despite hitting on 40 percent of its field goal tries and limiting the
Broncos to 36.4 percent efficiency.
The heartbreaking loss for the Rockets will need to be put in the past or they
will begin to develop a losing streak. Scaife has heated up to become one of
the conference's most dangerous scorers. His head-to-head matchup with Pearson
will be a key factor as to which team comes out on top. Toledo's role players
and homecourt advantage will be enough to give it the slight edge needed to
bounce back.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Toledo 74, Ball State 68

How do you know if you're with the right person if you don't give them the chance to prove it to you?
I have a bachelors degree. I'm an honest, loyal, soft hearted gentleman, and know my duties as a man. Please don't be so quick to judge on anything. I'm looking for someone simple, who likes to have fun, but also laid back. I'm afraid of heights, but I'm a skydiver. Ya I don't get it either. I'm a Red Sox fan, my uncle played for them. I look for the best in people. I can be cheesy with jokes and pranks, sarcastic, a dork, portray dry humor, and very big on stupid comedy, but I would think that makes me fun, not wierd. I'm respectful and don't like arguing or confrontation much. I need someone who is family oriented too, and can get along with anyone. I'm pretty good at cooking. I can't handle drama. I love martial arts, and teaching it too. I did taekwondo as a kid, and now train Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu jitsu (as stated below). I'd like someone who wanted to train with me too, but ok if you didn't... Tattoos are a plus. I have a bunch. I got this thing for glasses and tattoos...just saying. I'm a sucker for beautiful eyes too. I'd appreciate a southern girl. One who doesn't mind getting dirty and wears boots. Not picky, but a guy can dream ya? I served in the United States Marine Corps. I have traveled to various countries around the world, and I would like to again with the right person. I've been to Thailand, Ireland, Germany, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Malta, Spain, Israel, Greece, Turkey, U.A.E., and a few others. Are you the one to travel with me around the world? I am a bit shy, but can quickly overcome that. I'm a certified pistol instructor and teach firearms and concealed weapon courses, so you can't be afraid of firearms. I work around them regularly, and have plans of starting my own company down the road. And most importantly, like I fought to protect this country, I would even more so protect you, whoever "you" may be. I'm not difficult to impress, just like to have a good time. I'm looking for someone who likes to go out, but can also just relax at home with a good movie or something. The most important qualities to me are trust, understanding, faithfulness, and honesty. If you don't have those, then you are not right for me. No smokers, and absolutely no drugs due to my pursuit of law enforcement. If you wish to know more about me, email me. I'd probably like learn more about you.

Frisian Islands, North Sea coast

The love Hank shows for Becca is enough to convince Nero that Hank is a character worth playing.
