TAG Heuer, the world leader in prestigious and high-end chronographs, is proud to announce the signing of football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to a long-term partnership as a TAG Heuer Brand Ambassador.
Two-time Ballon d'Or winner, Real Madrid forward and Captain of the Portugal team for the coming World Cup in Brazil, Cristiano Ronaldo joins an illustrious roster of TAG Heuer sports stars and celebrities that includes film actors Cameron Diaz and Leonardo DiCaprio, WTA tennis champion Maria Sharapova, Formula One World Champion Jenson Button, World Rally Champion Sebastien Ogier and the entire crew of 2013 America's Cup winner Oracle Team USA. Past members have included actors Brad Pitt and Uma Thurman, golfing great Tiger Woods, and the most legendary names in the history of Formula One, from Ayrton Senna to Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton.
"TAG Heuer is by far the best at what it does," said Cristiano Ronaldo, "and has been for more than 150 years. No other luxury brand has such strong ties to the highest levels of sports. It is incredibly glamorous yet also so unconventional, and we share exactly the same determination: to totally change the game, push the limits and make our own rules. It is a great honor to be a part of such a powerful and pioneering legacy."
"Every TAG Heuer creation celebrates intense life in the contemporary arena, and no individual represents this more powerfully than Cristiano," said TAG Heuer CEO Stephane Linder. "Like TAG Heuer, Cristiano demands perfection and pushes himself harder than anyone in his domain. This is the first time we enter the world of football, and it's a perfect fit to do that with Cristiano, opening a new trend and a new way to engage with our fans. Sports is part of our tradition because we share the same values: self motivation and discipline, pushing one's limit, never giving up. We've been in the sports world since signing on as official chronograph of the 1920 Olympic Games. We started timing ski events in 1928, Formula One and regatta racing in the 1970s. Adding football alongside our longstanding link to motorsports, especially with its number 1 icon and most powerful player, is incredibly exciting."
Born on the island of Madeira in 1985, Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (named Cristiano Ronaldo or CR7) first played professionally in his native Portugal before joining Manchester United in 2003, where he scored […]

Oscars®: Draft Day – What's up with the 2015 Awards Race
Directed by: Ivan Reitman
Written by: Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman
Main Cast: Kevin Costner, Chadwick Boseman, Jennifer Garner, Frank Langella, Denis Leary, Tom Welling, and many others
Past Oscar relations: Ivan Reitman was nominated for co-producing Up in the Air and Kevin Costner won Best Picture and Best Director Oscars for Dances with Wolves
Here now we have the next article in this series on 2014 contenders hoping to compete for Oscar attention at the 2015 ceremony. Next up is Ivan Reitman's Draft Day, which hopes to essentially be the next Moneyball, just with the NFL Draft as its focus. That film was a bit of an aberration, but this one has a bit in common with it, so perhaps the Academy is more open to sports movies than they have been in the past? Reitman has sports film icon Kevin Costner in the lead role, so that's certainly a plus, along with a strong ensemble that includes Chadwick Boseman, Jennifer Garner, Frank Langella, and Denis Leary, to name a few. They're in the service of a fine film, one of the better ones to come out this year so far, in my humble opinion. Being a quality bit of cinema is the first step towards becoming a contender.
What this flick has going in its favor is a crowd pleasing plot and a top notch script, not to mention a great role for Costner to sink his teeth into. Costner always is great in sports films, and this is no exception. Reitman also shows an able hand at drama, something he's rarely attempted during his illustrious career. As for the screenplay, Black List winning scribes Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman have crafted something that both hardcore football fans like myself and newbies can enjoy equally. Moneyball was able to do this, and that screenplay damn near won an Oscar, so especially in the writing field, this movie should have a chance to contend for a nomination.
Working against Draft Day is that it is a sports movie without an awards centric pedigree. Yes, it has a Black List winning script, but that doesn't always make a huge difference. Costner also has never been nominated for one of his sports outings, so it's likely that he won't break that trend here. That makes it Best Original Screenplay or nada in all likelihood, and having that narrow a focus makes it a dicey proposition. Draft Day […]
Spotlight on the Stars: Kevin Costner
Here we go with another installment of my Spotlight on the Stars series. Each week, I'll look at an actor/actress/filmmaker that I'd like to celebrate in some kind of a way. It could be due to something of theirs coming out that weekend (like last week and this week, for example) or just because I feel they deserve to have a moment in the sun, but each time it'll be a bit of positivity about someone who I'd like to pay tribute to.
For this week's piece (number three overall so far), I wanted to take a look at our first male actor…Kevin Costner. Some see him as a bit of a has been, but I disagree and not only still see a movie star, but an underrated actor as well. Costner is a throwback to an older generation of actor. Very much a man's man and a real movie star, but one with a softness to him as well. His best performances have perfectly highlighted that. He can be an excellent action hero, that's for sure, but I've always preferred him as a bit more of a working man, be it as a baseball player or just a middle class Joe like he was in The Company Men.
Yes, his best films often involve sports (particularly baseball), but how is that a knock against him? Especially with the very good Draft Day hitting theaters this weekend, it's just evidence of him knowing where he really fits and playing to that. From Bull Durham to Field of Dreams to For Love of the Game and Tin Cup (and also The Upside of Anger, where he plays a retired player), the sports genre really seems to serve him well. That being said, he's hardly out of his element when removed from athletics.
Costner has usually challenged himself more than he's been given credit for, especially considering his directorial career. He won Best Director and Best Picture for Dances with Wolves, and even his projects that were deemed unsuccessful weren't for a lack of ambition. He can be a risk taker behind the camera, even as he's a calming and grounded presence in front of it. That's particularly on display with Draft Day, even when his character is far from calm.
Overall, Costner is am underrated actor with an undeniable screen presence, like I mentioned above. As he begins to enter somewhat of a Hollywood elder […]
"42" The True Story of An American Legend
Hero is a word we hear often in sports, but heroism is not always about achievements on the field of play. "42" tells the story of two men—the great Jackie Robinson and trailblazing Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey—whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball.
From Academy Award® winner Brian Helgeland ("L.A. Confidential") comes the real-life drama "42," starring Chadwick Boseman ("The Express") as Jackie Robinson and Oscar® nominee Harrison Ford ("Witness") as Branch Rickey.
In 1947, Branch Rickey put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking Major League Baseball's infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and other players.
Facing blatant racism from every side, even his own team, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey's hopes. Instead, Number 42 let his talent on the field do the talking—ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow.
In 1997, Major League Baseball retired the number 42 for all teams, making it the first number in sports to be universally retired. The only exception is every year on April 15th—Jackie Robinson Day—commemorating the date of his first game as a Brooklyn Dodger. On that day alone, players from every team proudly wear the number 42 to honor the man who altered the course of history.
Rounding out the main cast of "42" are: Nicole Beharie as Rachel Robinson; Christopher Meloni as Leo Durocher; Andre Holland as Wendell Smith; Lucas Black as Pee Wee Reese; Hamish Linklater as Ralph Branca; and Ryan Merriman as Dixie Walker.
Written and directed by Brian Helgeland, "42" is produced by Thomas Tull, with Dick Cook, Jon Jashni, and Jason Clark serving as executive producers, and Darryl Pryor and Jillian Zaks co-producing.
Helgeland's behind-the-scenes collaborators included Oscar®-nominated director of photography Don Burgess ("Forrest Gump"), production designer Richard Hoover, costume designer Caroline Harris, and editors Kevin Stitt and Peter McNulty. The music is composed by Oscar® nominee Mark Isham ("A River Runs Through It").
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures present, a Legendary Pictures Production, a Brian Helgeland film, "42." The film opens on April 12, 2013, in time to commemorate the 66th anniversary of Jackie Robinson Day, on April […]
Tribeca Film Festival announced the lineup for the 7th annual Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival
The Tribeca Film Festival (TFF) today announced the lineup for the seventh annual Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival. Founded to broaden the audience for independent film through stories about sports and competition, this year's Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival will consist of nine films, including four titles from ESPN Films' highly anticipated "Nine for IX" series which celebrates the fortieth anniversary of Title IX with nine documentary films about women in sports directed by outstanding female filmmakers.
The 2013 Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival will run during the 12th edition of TFF, presented by American Express, April 17 – April 28 at locations around New York City.
The Festival revealed that the world premiere of Big Shot, directed by Kevin Connolly, will serve as the gala premiere of the program on Friday, April 19. Connolly is returning to Tribeca having debuted his feature film Gardener of Eden in 2007. In Big Shot, Connolly chronicles John Spano's fraudulent purchase of the New York Islanders. In 1997, Spano bought the New York Islanders for a staggering $165 million. The scheme behind Spano's acquisition of the team is revealed as Big Shot takes viewers behind the scenes of the biggest fraud in hockey history.
"The sports film offerings at this year's Festival give sports fans and movie buffs tremendous opportunities to experience the many ways that sports intersect with our culture," said Genna Terranova, Tribeca Film Festival Director of Programming. "We are excited that Big Shot, which chronicles one of the most infamous sagas in professional sports management history, will kick-off this year's Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival, and to share the range of these personal stories seem through the lens of sports."
"I've always thought the expression 'passion project' was kind of a cliché until I started working on Big Shot for ESPN," said Kevin Connolly. "Working side by side and spending time with guys that I literally grew up idolizing has been a once in a lifetime opportunity. The whole experience, including having the film premiere in New York at the festival, has been a dream come true."
"There are many vibrant, independent voices out there telling incredible sports stories and we're honored to be involved with the Tribeca Film Festival where together we can shine a light on these documentaries and filmmakers," said Connor Schell, vice president of ESPN Films. "We produce our films with the intention of capturing both the glory and the heartbreak of […]

Anxieties of Democracy
How can representative democracies be strengthened to govern more effectively? The SSRC's Anxieties of Democracy program is motivated by a concern about whether the core institutions of established democracies that connect citizens and civil society to the political system—elections, mass media, political parties, interest groups, social movements, and, especially, legislatures—can capably address large problems in the public interest. Though emphasis will be placed on anxieties of democracy in the United States, the program will also work comparatively and conceptually across the globe.
The Anxieties of Democracy program is a major new initiative for the Council, developed through a set of convenings that have gathered leading thinkers from a range of fields and areas of expertise. The program intends to mobilize existing research; promote new studies; publish and disseminate findings; forge pathways to bring this knowledge to policy, media, and public audiences; and provide opportunities for new generations of social scientists to address how to make democracies govern more effectively.
With core support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the program is overseen by a research planning committee and key staff who frame its agendas, organize seminars and conferences, generate publications, and connect with relevant audiences.

In the Adirondacks, the ban on aerial applications of pesticides took affect in the 1980's. Since that time, Bti, (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis), is the only pesticide the NYSDEC allows for the control of biting insects on State Forest Preserve lands. It is extremely specific in targeting black fly larvae, and non-persistent in the environment.
Despite the ongoing efforts to stem the annual invasion of 'flying teeth', blackflies continue to inflict pain, especially on small children, and adults with above average sensitivity to the bites.
I've witnessed unsuspecting victims with eyes swollen shut from black fly bites, and I've seen children sickened by prolonged exposure to these insects. Victims often have the appearance of a giant cranberry muffin, albeit with legs and arms.
In an effort to guard against such injuries, a wide variety of repellants have been developed. The most effective often have high concentrations of DEET, (N,N-diethyltoluamide).
Unfortunately, concerns remain about the safety of using this chemical on humans. DEET may cause allergic reactions in children, and the higher the concentration, the greater the risk. However, studies reveal concentrations of just 30 percent DEET can be just as effective and much safer, than 100 percent concentrations.
There are numerous natural, insect repellents on the market, which contain ingredients such as citronella oil, pennyroyal, camphor, eucalyptus,lemon juice and spearmint. Even Avon's Skin-So-Soft seems to work, but only if it is very liberally applied.
Over the years, I've used a variety of natural products including Green Ban, Z'off, Naturapel, Bug-B-Gone and BuzzAway. Some work, most don't.
However, the most effective I've found is "Ole Time" Woodsman Fly Dope, which is also DEET free. Ole Time Woodsman has the added benefit of keeping people and small dogs at bay. Conveniently, the not-so-fragrant scent will also assure you a private seat at local restaurants, one that is far removed from the crowd.

The thing with Spyro is that it doesn't use the dual analog Halo-style controls that every first/third person game uses today. It used that annoying "smart" camera with L2/R2 rotation that was common at the time. That's why I'd avoid any game from the N64/PS1 generation: they're annoying and don't teach modern 3D controls.

Mustang program is solidly behind the kids
It's all about the kids.
The football players for the various Jupiter Mustang teams.
The cheerleaders who each game bring their spirit to their Mustang teams.
Ask Mustang football director Bill Powers or cheer coordinator Crystal Mullins.
"We want to make it a good experience for the kids," Powers says. "We try to get as many kids as we can to participate. All the kids get a chance to play and to compete.
"For instance, last year, the Midget Maroon Mustang team won the Pop Warner Super Bowl in 2011. It was a great win, but I was prouder that this was done without stacking the team and only having the best kids on one team."
This spirit of participation is also part of the Mustang cheerleading philosophy, according to Mullins.
"Our program is unique because we do not have tryouts. If you sign up you are on the team," she said.
"Pop Warner requires the athletes to be scholastically fit in order to play and awards thousands of dollars in scholarships for those who are successfully academically. Not only do our cheerleaders provide great support and spirit for our football teams, they are successful competitors in Pop Warner. In 2011, two of our teams advanced to the Pop Warner National Championships, taking home a first and fourth place national title for Jupiter."
This year, as practices begin the first week of August, there are 150 girls, ages 5 to 15 participating in Jupiter Mustang cheerleading and just under 400 boys in the same age bracket playing Mustang football, which Powers says is probably the largest Pop Warner football program in the country.
Both programs have seen a small decline in the number of participants for the 2012 season. Powers and Mullins say the economy is certainly a factor is the number of players this year.
"It's fairly expensive for the families with boys in the program," Powers said. "The registration fee is over $200, and Pop Warner makes it ridiculously expensive with fees and clinics for the coaches who are usually the fathers.
"If you have two boys playing Mustang football, it would cost $500 to play, since they need to get the pants and some of the equipment as well."
For Powers, however, the experience is invaluable for those who are part of the Mustang program.
Although most of the coaches are the fathers of the team members, there are some people, such as Powers, who stay involved long after their son aged out of the Mustangs. Coaches for both the football and the cheerleading teams not only spend a great deal of time on the field in practice and during the games, but are required to attend clinics to be certified to coach.
For the football players, being a Mustang is "a great lesson learner for life," according to Powers.
"I think tackle football is the ultimate team sport. It helps kids compete, they have to be physically fit, they have to think and they have to commit to it. To succeed, football players have to go to practice, and work hard physically and mentally. Kids like the challenge."
Many of the cheerleaders join because their friends are Mustang cheerleaders, but they also have fun and they learn the skills needed to try out for the cheerleading squads at their middle schools and high schools.
There are no gymnastic skills required to sign up for cheerleading, Mullins said, but some of the cheerleaders do have a gymnastic background.
"We provide 20 hours of conditioning, and strength training and the cheerleaders learn jumps, tumble skills, dance and cheer choreography during our practices," Mullins said.
Several Mustang football players will try out for their high school teams, Powers said, and there have been success stories, such as his own son, Will, and Jupiter High School students such as Cody Parkay, who also were part of the Mustang program.
"A lot of them will try out their freshman year, but not a lot of boys from the Pop Warner program will graduate from high school playing football," Powers said.
"As the kids get older, they get bigger and stronger, and sometimes the kids playing in the Pop Warner program aren't big enough for these programs. But, that said, we've had a number of kids who ended up playing Division I ball at the college level."
Overall, Powers said, the success of both football and the cheerleading programs lies in devotion to making the experience successful for each participant.
"Mustang football is one of the few sports that isn't year round; it only goes from August to November, and I think the kids like that," Powers said. "In addition, the program has maintained its popularity, and I like to think it's the way it's run.
"We have a great board, tons of great coaches and volunteers; and this makes it a good experience for the kids."

Originally written on The Duck Stops Here | Last updated 12/9/12
Handsome, articulate, well-educated, athletically gifted and soon to be rich, a consensus All-American and the second-leading running back in school history, Kenjon Barner got snubbed in the balloting for the Doak Walker Award, just as Marcus Mariota will have a difficult time winning a Heisman Trophy. KB will probably get over it, and Oregon fans have to hope he'll console himself by earning the MVP Trophy in the Fiesta Bowl. Johnny Manziel is a system quarterback. Montee Ball and Johnathan Franklin are system running backs. That's not a knock; it's simply the reality that every great college football player is in place because coaches felt that player fit their system and style of play, surround him with complementary players and offensive looks that enhance what they do best. Manziel wouldn't be the same quarterback in a pro-style offense. Franklin and Ball don't belong in a four and five-wide vertical passing set. They thrive with a big fullback and ginormous linemen blocking ...

White House Budget Director Peter Orszag's expected resignation would make him the first high-profile member of President Barack Obama's team to depart the administration.
A Democratic official said Monday that Orszag is expected to leave in the coming months, although the exact timing is not known. The official confirmed the news to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because it had not been announced.
As director of the Office of Management and Budget, Orszag holds Cabinet-level rank and a pivotal role in shaping and defending how the administration spends the public's money. He quickly emerged from a bureaucratic post to become a camera-friendly face of Obama's government, often in front on plans to confront the deficit and to spur the economy.
Orszag's spokesman, Kenneth Baer, said only, "Peter's focused on his work, not on Washington speculation."
That speculation has for weeks held that Orszag would leave this year after a grueling, nonstop sprint as the head of the budget agency and a key adviser to Obama. During his tenure, Congress has passed the most expensive economic stimulus program in U.S. history and a massive health care reform law. Orszag has overseen Obama's first two budgets, too.
Orszag, 41, came to Obama's government from the position of director of the Congressional Budget Office, the agency charged with providing nonpartisan analyses of economic issues to lawmakers. He served during Bill Clinton's administration as an assistant to the president for economic policy and a senior adviser at the National Economic Council.
The move comes as Obama continues to face the steep economic challenges of reining in the deficit and rallying support for more stimulative spending. The economic recovery is plodding along but unemployment remains near 10 percent.

Southwestern Historical Quarterly
perceptive presidential leader like Woodrow Wilson allow House to
fool him for so long?
University of Texas at Austin LEWIs L. GOULD
C. C. Slaughter: Rancher, Banker, Baptist. By David J. Murrah. (Aus-
tin: University of Texas Press, 1981. Pp. x+ 173. Preface, notes,
appendix, illustrations. $14.95.)
A Dallas journalist labeled Christopher Columbus Slaughter "the
Cattle King of Texas," but biographer David J. Murrah, university
archivist and head of the Southwest Collection at Texas Tech, exam-
ines the frontiersman's interest in banking, religious activities, ranch-
ing, and community work.
From the time his family settled on 2,9oo acres of land in the heart
of the North Texas frontier until he controlled more than a million
acres of grass and cattle spread from the South Plains into Indian
Territory, Slaughter was a cattleman. Early in the 187os he began im-
porting Shorthorn Durham bulls from Kentucky to improve his herds.
He paid $2,900 for Sir Ancient Briton, winner of the 1893 Chicago
World's Fair and Columbia Exposition, to introduce the Hereford to
the West Texas Plains. Slaughter's successful bid of $5,000 for Sir
Bredwell made his Lazy S Ranch one of the most publicized in the
nation, and he was elected president of the Northwest Texas Cattle
Raisers Association.
Slaughter's banking interests, beginning with a cache of coins under
a boulder near his Palo Pinto ranch, developed when he and two part-
ners moved $42,000 in gold and silver by buckboard from Weather-
ford to establish the City Bank of Dallas. Later, Slaughter and two
associates chartered the American National Bank of Dallas.
His donations to Baylor Hospital, Baylor University, the Baptist
Education Commission, and the First Baptist Church of Dallas were
generous. He purchased half interest in the Baptist Standard, stipu-
lating that headquarters be relocated in Dallas. He served as first vice-
president of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1898.
As association president, Slaughter staged the Confederate Veterans
reunion in Dallas in 1902.
Murrah's brief biography focuses on the career of this "legendary
man," whose insurance policy for his wife and nine children was a
spread "undivided and indivisible until the death of the last one of my
family " (p. 86); little attention goes to examining the personality of

Pyramid plan splits commission
Defers vote on selling 3 properties to Memphis
Deeply divided about what to do with The Pyramid, Shelby County Commissioners deferred on Monday a vote to sell the county's share of three high-cost properties to the city of Memphis.
Last week, the commission's economic development and tourism committee failed to endorse a proposal to sell the county's 50 percent share of The Pyramid, 40 percent share of the Mid-South Coliseum and the sliver of land under the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium for $5 million.
On Monday, the commission remained divided about the sale. While some commissioners endorsed it, saying the county should let Memphis take the lead on Pyramid reuse, others hesitated to support a sale without a guarantee that the county would be disentangled from future financial obligations.
This is the second time commissioners have discussed a possible sale. A similar proposal, also sponsored by Commissioner Sidney Chism, was introduced in March with a price tag of $4.3 million. That failed, but since then, Bass Pro Shops has signed an agreement to redevelop The Pyramid for $100 million.
Mayor A C Wharton reiterated his support for the sale Monday, saying the county should allow the city to lead negotiations for Pyramid reuse.
But Commissioner Mike Ritz said he'd like more assurance that county tax dollars wouldn't be tapped down the road. He introduced a substitute resolution that removed the county from all financial obligations to any improvements made to the three properties.
It outlined a long list of further restrictions. For example, Memphis would release Shelby County from an obligation to provide backup facilities for the Memphis Grizzlies. And the resolution encourages the city to negotiate a better Bass Pro deal, one that would put The Pyramid on the property tax rolls and reduce the $30 million the county and city would be obligated to contribute to the deal.
"They're not coming back over for money," Ritz said. "I'm proposing this because I think it is the way we ought to do business."
Ritz's proposal did not receive the votes for adoption. Chism and Commissioner Deidre Malone objected to the commission telling the city how to do business.
And Commissioner Mike Carpenter opposed the sale altogether, saying The Pyramid is more than an empty building the county can unload.
"It's a symbol in the public's eyes of how the government has gone wrong," he said, adding that the county's oversight of the Bass Pro deal would provide an extra level of scrutiny.
Commissioner Henri Brooks, who favors selling the "white albatross" but questions whether it's fair to ask Memphians to pay $5 million, said Ritz's resolution deserved further inquiry.
In the end, Commissioner J.W. Gibson requested a two-week deferral.

Last week: 31 (+0) Record: 0-1 It's tough to learn much about the Raiders for their first game, except that they seem to be unable to not shoot themselves in the foot. An injury to their long snapper did them in as they went on to bungle 3 punts (1 blocked, 2 fumbled snaps), but they might have lost anyway. They only gave up 9 points off their 3 mistakes and they lost by 8. There's no guarantee they would have held them scoreless on all 3 of those drives and 8 of their points game on a garbage time touchdown against prevent defense. It was an ugly game all around. The Chargers will get better as the season goes on. They're always like this when the season starts. But that probably won't be the case for the Raiders and I saw no reason to move them up from the bottom end of my Power Rankings.

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) September 04, 2014
Mind blowing is what first comes to mind when looking at the gallery of men's designer shirts from Verzari.com. Every shirt has its own name and detailed vivid description that just screams luxury and attention to detail.
Surprisingly the prices for these beautiful one of a kind shirts are remarkably low. Designer shirts of this caliber would normally fetch hundreds of dollars each at high end department stores like Saks or Nordstrom's, but every shirt found at Verzari.com is priced below $90.
Men who wear Verzari instantly make a bold fashion statement. Verzari shirts are designed to be worn untucked and the cut is a modern, tapered fit that makes just about any man wearing it look as if he just stepped out of the gym.
Every Verzari shirt is handcrafted using the finest fabrics and comes packaged with a set of stainless steel collar stays. Every Verzari shirt is a limited production and has its own name like Stardust, Gunner and Purple Haze just to name a few.

Cesc Fabregas has insisted his thoughts are focused solely on recovering from injury and playing at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™, not on transfer speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona. The Catalan giants are keen to bring the 23-year-old back to Spain and confirmed this week they have made initial contact with Arsenal regarding the midfielder, although without yet making an offer.
Fabregas, who was on Barcelona's books as a youngster before moving to London seven years ago, has also revealed his desire to return to the club. However, an imminent resolution to the situation seems unlikely, and the player has stated that his mind is now set on international matters and not where he will be playing his club football next season.
A World Cup is too important to think about other things. I'm 100 per cent focused. I will give everything to help Spain be champions.
"I'm very calm," Fabregas said. "A World Cup is too important to think about other things. I'm 100 per cent focused and recovering from the injury, the only important thing is to form part of this team and play in the World Cup. When I play it's always to win and help my team-mates. I will give everything to help Spain be champions."
Fabregas missed the end of the Premier League season after suffering a cracked bone in his fibula during the UEFA Champions League quarter-final, first leg against Barça on 31 March.
However, he said of his recovery: "The feelings couldn't be better after training three days normally. Now it's as if I'm in pre-season, I have heavy legs which is normal at the start."
Fabregas revealed how a valuable discussion with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has allowed him to join the Spain squad with no pressure on his shoulders. The playmaker is waiting for developments, if they transpire, but will not let the issue of his future trouble him.
"I talked with Arsene," Fabregas said. "It was probably the greatest conversation I have had with someone in my life. I respect him so much. I don't want to say too much about this.
I talked with Arsene. He told me to concentrate on the World Cup, he told me to leave it in his hands and he will deal with whatever happens in my future.
"He told me to concentrate on my football, he told me to concentrate on the World Cup, he told me to leave it in his hands and he will deal with whatever happens in my future. And that's what I'm doing, just concentrating on football.
"It's not up to me anymore. It's just now about Arsenal and whoever it has to be, and that's it. I don't want to say anything else. I just want to be focused for the World Cup because it's the most important thing. The rest, the future, I'm not interested in the future."

7:30 EST on NBCSports (or versus for those of us who just can't give up the ghost.)
A solid showing tonight will help us all feel a little better about that thing that happened Saturday night.
Go Wings
in town for free camps
Which team will win more games this season, the Wings or the Pistons?
The Pistons will screw around and win 30-35 games this year. The Red Wings are probably going to be a few games over .500, somewhere around 22-25 wins.
Given the sheer volume of lousy teams in the NBA, and there being more parity in general in the NHL, plus the shortened hockey season, plus the Wings are missing Lidstrom, Stuart, Kindl, Holmstrom, Helm, Hudler, and Bertuzzi from last year, I'm going with the Pistons winning more games.
I think you are overstating what the wings are missing... Kindl is day-to-day with a sore groin. Helm is day-to-day with a sore back (no damage shown on MRI last week). Bertuzzi's mono could prove an issue but that all depends on how long he may/may not be out. Hudlers was replaced by Samuelsson (pretty even statisticaly).
That being said I agree with your intial comment about lousy NBA teams being the reason the Pistons win more games. I see the wings winning something between 26-29 games and being the 6th-7th seed.
Bert's mono test came back negative and he is playing tonight on the third line. We also have Eaves back tonight for the first time in two seasons from concussion issues.
My outdoor hockey game tonight got cancelled due to a wind chill advisory of between -15 and -25 degrees. Bunch of wimps over here in Chicago, apparently!
Anyway, at least I can watch the whole game tonight. Go Wings!
This is this worst wings team in 20 years.
In their defense, that's not a hard feat to accomplish. Tonight we may find out just how bad this team is though.
good thing we've made the playoffs the last 21! #SoYoureSayingIHaveAChance
One game. At least give them a week. Not saying you are wrong but I will withhold conclusion for at least a week or so.
Pistons beat the Celtics last night! But as pointed out, this will mainly just hurt our draft positioning.
we flat out failed to skate on Saturday. we didn't have our legs under us, and we didn't put in that extra effort. its the same as last year.
honestly, as much as losing nick and stevie y has and will hurt this franchise, the most underrated retirement was losing drapes. dude was the wings best defensive center in his prime. he could win faceoffs and was the grittiest mofo ever. he would skate hard, win battles in the corners, finish every check, and do all of this against the opponents top line. and because this old dude was playing his ass off, all the kids followed his example.
helmer is the heir apparent, but the dude needs to stay healthy.
but its sad, cuz i just dont see the same effort out of abdelkader, mursak, emmerton, etc.
also, this team needs more gustav nyquist.
This team is a mess. Time to blow it up and rebuild for the future.
Money wasn't an issue. On top of Lidstroms and Holmstroms contracts ending we freed up $16 mil from Hudler leaving. We picked up 4 FAs with that same $16 mil, plus almost $30 mil in new contracts. We had plenty of cap room and prospects to trade for Nash last year. At least the majority of our contracts are 2 and 3 year deals so they have some flexibility in the future.
This team is not 6-0 bad.
Columbus vs. Detroit. Let's do this.
what are you drinking thread. whisky and diet for me.
Maybe a loss tonight will force them to bring up Goose and Tater-Tot. I can dream right?
Anyone have a stream?
first row. always first row.
I tried firstrow. I'm in England, which is probably why they aren't working. Oh well.
Oh good Gotham. Murph got him some new glasses... yeesh.
Was he blind or drunk when he picked those out? Good grief...
Not a very impressive fight.
What's the beef between Boll and Tootoo?
Soooo that's why we signed him?
This PP looks like shite.
We're doing our best Flint Generals impersonation.
Have we Wings fans been spoiled or what? Not pretty.
this PP didn't look too bad. Lots of chances.
Acceptable movement and maintenance of possession that time around.
Very frustrating
i'll take 3 posts in a pp over 2 shots in a period (ala the first prd vs stl)
much better. one thing i noticed on previous pps was that our break out of our zone and into the opposing zone was piss poor. on this last pp, we were able to get the puck in the zone, possess it, and give our playmakers a chance to work their magic.
thats the curse of a puck possession team like the wings - when they don't have the puck, or even proper control of the puck, they can be abysmally bad.
Eaves back in the line up!
This Brunner kid looks real good.
Just weird not seeing number 5 out there.
I never thought I'd reach a point in my life when I would actually like Jordin Tootoo.
And I still don't.
I just hope that damn train whistle doesn't show up at The Joe. I hate that fucking thing, which is why I always hated Tootoo.
I've never actually rooted for a player from my own team to get his ass beat until tonight. I fucking loathe Jordin Tootoo.
I hate to say it but I think he's growing on me... until he starts getting really dumb penalties all the time.
Which will happen.
Ummm let's do something with this PP please?
Or just get a penalty.
PP #3 after the BJs tried to tackle Howard.
tough sequence for brunner. wish we'd had some more training camp to get him up to speed.
Circa 2010/11.
End of 1st tied at 0.
Now score some goals, Wings.
Should've swung a deal and gotten rid of a couple forwards. Didn't see the point of picking up Sammy and Tootoo when it just created a glut of forwards, most of whom are mediocre

I bought my bike just before winter, have been driving in nothing but rain, heavy winds, last week even a tiny bit of snow.
I completly lost self esteem (and the trust in my front tire) after I pulled off the highway cause I couldn't even see the lights of the car in front of me, and then, on a roundabout the front tire of my 990 was suddenly gone. I managed to keep it upright though. Was more luck then skill anyway...
I am still not sure what happend, maybe there was a patch of oil, maybe I went in too fast, but like I said it took me weeks before I dared to lean deep into corners again.
Yesterday however, was the first dry day that I was not working since weeks, felt like months even. And eventhough temperatures were arround freezing I really enjoyed driving on a dry road, helped me to regain self esteem and practice my skills.
I will get rid of the scorpions though, concidering a conti trailattack tire, hope that will give me some better grip on wet days.
Tire's make all the difference.

Only three days removed from his loss to Jon Jones, Chael Sonnen already had his next opponent in mind, calling out Wanderlei Silva on UFC Tonight. Silva responded that he would be interested via Twitter, but it appears tonight that Sonnen has put a 24-hr deadline on Silva officially accepting the bout with him:

Chael trolled wand that whole time, if he was scared he wouldn`t call him out lol this man fought Anderson silva twice, and Jon Jones, hes not scared of punch drunk wand, as much as I like wand and enjoyed the stann fight, he has a bad chin now and if he keeps at it he will be like chuck.

Lol @ people thinking Chael didn't saying anything back to Wand in the car because he "didn't have anything written".He just didn't give a fuck, he wasn't intimidated at all. Chael was borderline condescending with how he was acting.

What Chael really should have learned from that was, "show some respect...or take the back seat yourself", lol.
5/12/13 10:45 AM by I AM A MOFO
Lol@all the talk of the car ride.First of all, I don't think Chael was scared. He just didn't have any witty comments prepared, and was also SMART.Yes Wandy was on crutches. Yes Chael was ranked higher. Yes Chael would be favored in an MMA match. But Chael was in a car, with Wandy behind him (and slightly to the right), and a seat between them. Wandy is a nice guy but also famously temperamental.If Chael would have gotten smart and Wandy angry, Wand, crutches and all could have (and was in great position to do so) put Chael's head through the window with a right hand. What the fuck would Chael have done, power doubled him through the seat? Turn and fire HIS murderous punches back (LOL)? Climb over the seat and choke Wandy out with his BJJ skills? They were in a situation where Chael couldn't do the only thing he ever COULD to Wandy. I don't think Chael is scared or intimidated by Wand and I sure as hell don't think Chael was just being graicous or pitying Wand. I just think Chael is intelligent and pragmatic enough to realize when he's in a disadvantageous position where his best option would be to put his arms up and duck under the seat if the heavy handed guy sitting behind him started throwing, lol.All in all both sides make too much of it. I'm sure Wandy recognized the advantages of where they were as well which probably played a role in his deciding it was a good time to tell Chael off...
5/10/13 8:05 PM by UGCTT_FryedTakayama
No spin, I'm just explaining the reality of situation. I see all you got is lame dick jokes to respond with.
5/10/13 7:33 PM by Leck Brosnar
Isn't Wandy brazilian? That should be an automatic win against Sonnen, weird that he hasn't accepted.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Police investigating a possible domestic violence incident involving George Zimmerman and his wife told reporters Tuesday afternoon there may be video of what happened on an iPad.
However, the tablet was smashed and "is in multiple pieces," Lake Mary, Fla., police spokesman Zach Hudson said.
Police are still investigating to determine whether Shellie or George Zimmerman should be charged with domestic-violence battery.
It's also possible George would be charged with destruction of evidence, if police confirm Shellie's complaint that George broke the iPad.
"It's been pretty badly damaged," Hudson said.
It's in "several pieces," he said and at mid-day was at the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, where computer experts were trying to salvage the video she recorded Monday as the dispute unfolded.
That video, he said, would be a "key component" in his agency's charging decision.
George Zimmerman says Shellie struck him in the back, Hudson said.
Hudson said an arrest is possible, depending in large part on what the iPad video shows.
George Zimmerman did not appear to be home mid-day, although news crews again lined the street out front.
Hudson said police knew the whereabouts if both George and Shellie but did not disclose them.
He said he did not know if George Zimmerman spent the night in the house.
Hudson told reporters it was up to police — not to the Zimmermans — to determine whether domestic violence charges are warranted against either of them.
"In Florida when it comes to domestic violence, the person in question doesn't have the right to press charges or not press charges," Hudson said, adding that police investigate and "we either forward charges (to the State Attorney's Office) or make an arrest on scene."
Hudson also confirmed that police do not believe a gun was involved in the incident, even though Shellie Zimmerman in her 911 call described her husband making threats with his hand on one. George Zimmerman's lawyer has also said repeatedly that he was carrying a holstered firearm during the incident.
Shellie Zimmerman and her father never actually saw the gun, Hudson said. She saw him place his hand on his body near where he sometimes carries a gun and assumed he had reached for a weapon, he said.
"We searched him ... there was no weapon," Hudson said, adding later: "As of right now, a gun is not a part of the equation."
Zimmerman's wife called 911 on Monday afternoon to report that her husband was threatening her family with a gun, but she later declined to press charges.
Hudson said Shellie Zimmerman called 911 before 3 p.m., saying George Zimmerman was threatening her and her father with a weapon.
In the 911 call, Shellie Zimmerman tells a dispatcher that her husband had "his hand on his gun and he keeps saying step closer."
"Step closer and what?" a dispatcher asks.
"And he's going to shoot us," Shellie Zimmerman replies.
But Shellie Zimmerman told officers who responded to her call that she never saw a weapon, police chief Steve Bracknell said. Zimmerman and her father, David Dean, signed paperwork stating they didn't want to press charges, Bracknell said Monday.
According to Hudson, George Zimmerman described his wife and her father as the aggressors.
His defense attorney Mark O'Mara said "emotions are running very, very high" between George and Shellie Zimmerman, and "nobody should be facing charges" in Monday's incident.
"They need to just sort of stay away from each other, keep things cool and work through their attorneys," he said.
Bracknell said police would document the incident thoroughly in case Shellie Zimmerman or her father change their minds about pursuing charges.
On Monday, officers were also reviewing surveillance video from the house that may have captured what happened.In the 911 call, Shellie Zimmerman says her husband punched her father, leaving a mark on his face.
"He's shaking; he says he feels like he's going to have a heart attack; his nose might be broken," she said.
"I'm really, really afraid," Shellie Zimmerman said. "I don't know what he's capable of. I'm really, really scared."
