Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 – Expandability at a Low Price
- New Samsung 7 Inch Tablet
The fully-featured Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) measures 7.6" x 4.8" x 0.41" and weighs only a little more than 12 ounces. The unit has a 7-inch, 1024 x 600 PLS TFT display, 3-megapixel rear-facing camera and is priced at 249.95, approximately $150 less than its older brother, the 7 inch Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus.
- 1GHz Dual-Core Processor
Samsung's new 7 inch tablet looks nearly identical to the earlier Tab 7.0 Plus, but a few subtle changes have been made to bring down its price. The 7.0 Plus (above), includes a dual-core TI OMAP 1.2GHz processor, whereas the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) uses a dual-core 1.0GHz processor. (teardown photo courtesy of ifixit)
- microSD Card Expandability
Memory expansion for the new Samsung Galaxy Tab is via a card slot that accepts microSD cards up to 32GB. Samsung also bundles the new tablet with a complimentary, 1-year Dropbox account with 50GB of storage.
- Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
The new WiFi-only 7 inch Galaxy Tab comes loaded with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich user interface with Samsung's TouchWiz overlay. The tab also comes outfitted with an IR blaster, making it an excellent media consumption device.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) is powered with a 1 GHz dual-core processor and has a 4,000mAh battery installed, which should give you about five and half hours of video playback time. The unit has 8GB of storage built in and also a microSD card slot, which will allow you to expand the memory an additional 32GB. Buyers of this tab also get an additional 50GB of Dropbox space (1-year complimentary) with their purchase.
While this 7 inch tab is priced similarly to Amazon's Kindle Fire or the Barnes and Noble Nook, it is one of the first new tablets to feature Google's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system already installed. Other than that, in many ways it is similar to the pricier, previously released Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, but it has a slightly slower processor speed than the Plus model.
Compared to Kindle Fire
Samsung has long been a leader in the Android tablet market, and the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 is one of several new Samsung Galaxy tablets coming out in 2012. The new 7 inch tablet looks very similar to the earlier released Tab 7.0 Plus, but has undergone a few subtle changes to bring down the price. In comparison to Amazon's Kindle Fire, the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 is a little bit thinner in design and a few ounces lighter as well. With the Android 4.0 interface and TouchWiz installed, the new tablet offers more functionality than the Kindle Fire.
Those who want to be able to download the latest apps and media onto their tablet should definitely consider the more advanced Galaxy Tab 7 rather than the Kindle Fire. However, consumers who are not very tech-savy and only need a simple to use tablet to read books, search the Internet and use simple apps will likely be satisfied with the Kindle Fire.
With the new Galaxy Tab 7, the company has also tried to improve on some of the perceived flaws in the previous version. For example, the earlier version reportedly had issues with the microSD slot door getting stuck. The slot door on the version has been redesigned so that it's now much easier to open.
This tablet isn't perfect, however. Some users have expressed disappointment with the placement of the audio speakers along the bottom edge of the unit, making it easy to accidentally cover them up when holding the unit in landscape mode. The 3 megapixel rear camera is also not quite as sophisticated as similarly priced tablets on the market, although the cameras corner locations are nice, since they make it easier to avoid accidentally getting your fingers in the shot. By comparison, the first generation Kindle Fire doesn't even have a camera!
A Good 7-inch Android Tablet
Overall, this new 7-inch Android 4.0 tablet is a good choice for those who are looking for a fairly inexpensive tablet but still want the ability to take advantage of the latest Android version, have expandable memory options, and the ability to use the latest apps. This tablet is competitively priced and an overall good choice for both Android enthusiasts and many new tablet users.

Web Resources - JDK 8 docs
24 Dec 2013, 22:38
Günter Jantzen (1 post)
This is only a small topic, but maybe valuable for some readers. You already list the JDK 8 as a Web Resource. Think about adding (or emphasizing in a short comment) the very valuable JDK docs (especially the API docs). They contain fundamental explanations how to use (and not to misuse) the new API, with many examples. The explanations are sometimes dense, but after reading your great book they will be understandable for most readers.

Bubble Boy is a 2001 American comedy film directed by Blair Hayes and stars Jake Gyllenhaal in the title role, written by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio.[1] It was inspired by the 1976 movie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble.[2] A musical by the same name was written by the same authors and first performed in 2008.[2]
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (June 2011)
Born without an immune system, Jimmy Livingston is forced to live in a sterilized dome in his bedroom, earning him the title "Bubble Boy" by his neighbors. Jimmy's overbearing and devout Christian mother only exposes him to Highlights magazine and the Land of the Lost for entertainment. When he is a teenager, a girl named Chloe moves in next door. Jimmy is immediately taken with her, and eventually befriends her despite his mother's discouragement.
One day, Chloe visits Jimmy and tells him that she is leaving for Niagara Falls to marry her boyfriend, Mark, in three days. Jimmy is upset by this revelation and they separate on bad terms. Later, Jimmy opens a gift Chloe had brought him, a homemade snow globe with the phrase I Love You written in it. Jimmy realizes that Chloe cares for him. Realizing how much he cares for her, Jimmy builds a mobile bubble suit and runs away from home, determined to stop the wedding.
On the first day of his journey, he's unable to afford a bus ride to Niagara Falls, but is picked up by an overly enthusiastic cult on a pilgrimage towards enlightenment. But after Jimmy unintentionally offends the cult, he is marooned in the desert. By this time, Jimmy's mother has discovered her son missing, so she and her husband set off to find Jimmy.
While traveling through the desert, Jimmy meets Slim, a biker with a flat tire. Jimmy offers to fix the flat with some patches and the two become friends. Elsewhere, Gil, the leader of the cult Jimmy met, has revealed their messiah is "the round one," and that whoever rejects him will suffer. The group who abandoned Jimmy set off to find him. Jimmy and Slim have traveled to Las Vegas for traveling money. However, Slim gets caught up in the Vegas life so Jimmy goes on without him. The cult runs into Slim in Vegas while asking for directions. Slim recognizes them from Jimmy's story and threatens them, only to have his bike destroyed by the cult bus. Enraged, Slim rallies a gang of bikers to get even.
While on the road, Jimmy boards a train filled with circus freaks. The owner of the train, Dr. Phreak, finds Jimmy and announces that he's keeping him as an attraction of his circus. Jimmy refuses, knocking him unconscious, allowing the others to escape.
Jimmy then wanders into a restaurant where an Indian man is being antagonized by the ignorant townspeople. When Jimmy tries to defend him, the townspeople begin to probe him about his suit, but panic and evacuate the restaurant when they misunderstand his illness. The sheriff locks him in the restaurant and quarantines it, unintentionally setting the building on fire. Luckily, Jimmy is saved by Pushpop, the Ice Cream & Curry truck driver he had defended earlier. He and Jimmy escape the town that now is in flames. Pushpop thanks Jimmy for his earlier kindness and agrees to take him to Niagara Falls. Meanwhile, Jimmy's parents have met up with Dr. Phreak, whom Jimmy's mother mistakes for a child and brings along with them. Elsewhere in Niagara Falls, Chloe is apprehensive about marrying Mark and can't stop thinking of Jimmy.
Later, Pushpop accidentally runs over a cow and feels he must atone for his actions, unable to continue the journey. Jimmy sets off on foot and ends up in a small town in Illinois. Here he meets Pappy, a cab driver who agrees to take him to Niagara Falls for $500. To earn the money Jimmy goes into a Chinese casino nearby and enters a mud wrestling competition for a prize of $500. Jimmy wins but is taken by the cult people he'd seen earlier. Luckily, the freaks have followed Jimmy and realizing he's in danger, disguise themselves as members of the cult and trick them into believing they're mutating for their earlier crimes against Jimmy. During this commotion, Slim and his bikers arrive on the scene. The Bikers, the Freaks, and the Cult all begin fighting to "save" Jimmy in their own ways. In the confusion, Jimmy escapes in the taxi.
On the last day of his journey, Pappy and Jimmy have now arrived in New York, but Pappy is unresponsive, having apparently died behind the wheel overnight, forcing Jimmy to abandon the moving taxi before it crashes. Jimmy tries to call Chloe to tell her of his success, only to reach her fiancé Mark, who rudely convinces him that Chloe doesn't really love him. Jimmy becomes depressed at this assumed rejection and calls Dr. Phreak, ready to assume his role as a freak like the others. However, his parents overhear Dr. Phreak's conversation, and upon learning his location, dump Dr. Phreak out of their (moving) car and rush to retrieve him.
When his parents pick him up, Jimmy and his father are sitting alone in the car. His father regrets that Jimmy is giving up when he is so close. Jimmy's father then looks the other way while Jimmy escapes to finish his mission. Upon his mother's discovering this, they begin chasing him down in the car, but a biplane swoops down out of nowhere and picks Jimmy up. The pilot is Pappy's brother, Pippy. Finally, Jimmy reaches Niagara Falls but falls out of the plane and into the Falls itself.
Jimmy manages to escape the water and arrives just in time to stop the wedding. He then removes his bubble suit, allowing him to touch the girl he loves for the first time. Upon kissing her, Jimmy collapses and presumably dies in front of everyone in the church, as well as all the people who have been chasing after him (the cult, the Freaks, the Bikers, and his parents). Jimmy's mother then (encouraged by her husband) confesses that Jimmy had developed an immune system when he was four, revealing that he is not actually dead at all and Jimmy's perfectly fine. Mrs. Livingston had hidden this fact from Jimmy to protect him from the "corrupting" world. Jimmy forgives her and resumes kissing Chloe.
Finally, Jimmy and Chloe are married with all of Jimmy's new friends in attendance. Jimmy's mom (who is revealed to be a former girlfriend of Slim nicknamed Wildfire) rides off with Slim and Jimmy's father. Pushpop has become the new leader of the former cult who are apparently now followers of Hinduism. Dr. Phreak has befriended his band of freaks. Pippy and Pappy (who've reconciled after a past disagreement) drive off with Jimmy and Chloe to their honeymoon.

The film opened at #13 at the U.S. Box office raking in $2,038,349 USD in its first opening weekend, being a box office bomb. The film also received mixed reviews from critics, and as of December 22, 2014 has a 29% "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 82 reviews (24 "fresh", 58 "rotten"); the site's consensus states that "Bubble Boy bounces along with lame, offensive jokes that are more tasteless than funny." However, in recent years (perhaps due to it being placed in heavy rotation on Comedy Central), it has achieved the status of "cult comedy."[3]

Ask a man in solitary confinement if he wants just an hour of freedom a day. I tell you, he will live for it. Robots are my freedom – Henry Evans, quadriplegic and user of Willow Garage's PR2 robot.
A lot of news out there from the evolving world of what we now affectionately call robotics. The main issue on the table is that these so-called robots cropping up everywhere, might not really be robots, rather more connected devices parading as robots.
In the past two years, we have seen more "pop sensations" in the robot world – Sony's Aibo, Sphero, Q.bo, Romo – rather than functional service robots that will improve our lives like Hector, robotic assistance for the elderly or PR2 from Willow Garage who is giving Henry Evans, who after a brain stem stroke was left mute and quadriplegic, a new lease on life.
What we do see is along the lines of entertainment-type connected devices. Like the newest kitsch-esque device, Autom which is essentially your own weight loss journal in physical form in the guise of a robot – i.e. talking weight loss coach. Autom was the subject of a new kind of start-up funding by PCH International who declared in October they would commit to mass produce the device.
Others struggle. For more than a year, The Criif's semi humanoid, SAMI has had the same cartoon-like head and mannequin-muscled body with limited functionality, slowly moving its hand to catch a dropping ball or drinking a glass of water. While robots in labs like Disney Research, have done more with basic sensors to help move us forward with motion, action and reaction. This development can be applied to so many situations that could actually improve our work environment or increase the range of movement for those with disabilities, etc.
Steve Cousin's, CEO of Willow Garage told Forbes he believes that robotics is still in the early stages and there's still a lot of work to be done.
"Over the next five years, we will see more robotic platforms come out of the cage in the industrial space, like Baxter, and begin to move into hospitals, our homes and work environments," said Cousins. "We will build more mobile platforms that will only become autonomous when it becomes more affordable."
But ask people what a robot is and they will tell you different things.
"Maybe we don't want to call them robots anymore, maybe they are a remote presence system or device, something that lets you be where you are not," said Cousins. "There is a shift in the industry that is coming from sensor technology in the market and we are moving out of cages to working alongside people."
Colin Angle, CEO of iRobot says a robot is something that uses sensors to perceive information to understand the world and then uses artificial intelligence to process what it saw, then applies some kind of physical actuation in its environment.
He also says firmly that new companies should stop calling themselves a robotics company. "To succeed you have to solve a problem, not just say I make robots."
Angle adds, the whole freight train that has moved robotics forward has come from gaming and includes the sensors from Primesense.
"Their sensors have been game changing for us – you raise your hands in front of your robot and something happens and that's exciting because it creates more intuitive interfaces. Being able to sense it sees, increases the robot's ability to perceive the will of the person it is interacting with."
iRobot is unique and has been an incubator, like WillowGarage, for unleashing technology and ideas into the rapidly morphing robotics ecosystem. The company's two other original founders, Helen Grenier and Rodney Brooks, have gone onto found two new second generation robotics companies – Brooks' Rethink Robotics and Grenier's new start up, CyPhy Works, which recently acquired $3m in funding for her unmanned air vehicles (UAV).
2012 marks the 10 year anniversary of iRobot's Roomba in the marketplace. Angle says there's no particular reason that it couldn't have had its 20th anniversary.
"The technology wasn't the problem, it was the entrepreneur because robotics business models are complicated," adds Angle. "You need to bring together a lot of firepower and expertise in robotics to get something into the market — expertise in manufacturing, expertise in the end-user market and in our case, three and half years with SC Johnson learning how to clean floors and a partnership with Hasbro to learn how to design a device that would fit those cleaning specs."
The two founders of OpenRov - an open source underwater robots for education and and exploration, even have different views. Eric Stackpole, co-founder says that a robot can't be defined by what Isaac Asimov's basic theory anymore. "A robot is what we use in place of a human to accomplish the four D's – anything task that is dirty, dull, distant and dangerous, but we like to add deep to that. It's a man-made creation with the capacity to move in some way and be given instructions."
His co-founder and OpenRov CEO, David Lang says that robots are machines that can sense and actuate. "Robots can perceive something, the line is fuzzy though, they can sense how dirty your dishes are and then clean them a certain way, but a lot people don't even think that is a robot. So it's very subjective, people only call them robots when they start to have a character or personality. Humans have always been tool builders, not the tools we are building, are just getting more complex."
But ask Henry Evans what a robot is, and it won't be a connected device that's disguised as a robot.
"Robots allow you to exert your free will on your environment again-and that reminds you that you are still human. They provide you with a direct ability to manipulate things when and how YOU want to without your will being filtered through somebody else. Sure, today's robot's are slow and clunky. Think of them as Avatars in process."

Press Release
Four NIU Law Alumni Appointed to the Bench
December 13, 2011
DeKalb, Ill. – The Northern Illinois University College of Law is pleased to announce the addition of four of its alumni to the renowned list of graduates who serve in the judiciary: Marcy L. Buick ('90), Kathryn D. Karayannis ('88), Diann K. Marsalek ('89), and Jon M. Theisen ('99). Out of nearly 3500 College of Law alumni, NIU Law now has 77 judges that serve or have served throughout the state and across the county.
"Inside and outside of the courtroom, our judges embody the core values of NIU Law--leadership, hard work, fair-mindedness, collegiality as well as an unwavering commitment to diversity, access, and public service," said Dean Jennifer Rosato. "NIU Law is considered synonymous with accomplished judges who possess an exemplary level of professionalism, and we are excited to congratulate this group of distinguished alumni recently added to the bench."
Hon. Marcy L. Buick, a 1990 alumna, was sworn in by DeKalb County Presiding Judge Kurt Klein as the newest Associate Judge in the 16th Judicial Circuit of Illinois on September 28, 2011. She leaves the Foster & Buick Law Group after spending 11 years with the firm handling civil litigation and criminal matters. Buick presently serves several courtrooms in Kane County, Illinois as assigned by Chief Judge F. Keith Brown of the 16th Judicial Circuit.
Hon. Kathryn D. Karayannis, a 1988 alumna, was sworn in as an associate judge, also in the 16th Judicial Circuit, on October 17, 2011. She had been working as an assistant state's attorney in the Kane County office's child support division before her election to the bench, completing more than 20 years of service to Kane County. Karayannis' judicial position is new, created after U.S. census results released this year showed a larger population in the area, according to Judge Brown.
Hon. Diann K. Marsalek, a 1989 alumna, was appointed by the Illinois Supreme Court on October 3, 2011 as a Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County and was sworn in by Justice Mary Jane Theis on October 4, 2011. Marsalek is assigned to traffic court in the Daley Center. Marsalek worked for over 22 years for the State ofIllinois at the Illinois Attorney General's Office, Illinois Department of Corrections and for the Illinois Secretary of State.
Hon. Jon M. Theisen, a 1999 alumnus, was selected by Governor Scott Walker to serve as the judge for Circuit Court Branch 4 in Eau Claire County, Wisconsin on October 7, 2011. Theisen began his legal career at the law firm of Herrick and Hart in Eau Claire, where he became a partner in 2004. Before joining as a partner, Theisen was elected District Attorney of Chippewa County, where he was re-elected twice to the position.

My husband loves crab cakes and thought these were the best he ever had. I did pan fry them first for a bit of color and then just a few minutes in the oven. Served them on a small bed of curly endive and with some plantain chips. Will make again.flag if inappropriate
These crab cakes had great flavor but needed another egg yolk or two to help them stick together. I also would suggest pan frying them first before putting them in the oven as we couldn't get any color on them with the melted butter/baking method.flag if inappropriate
I used Panko crumbs rather than the bread since they are more crunchy and rather than baking, I sauteed in olive oil. Served with a cajun remaoulade sauce and fresh grilled corn with lima beans.flag if inappropriate
Oops--forgot to add: serve it with sriracha aioli!flag if inappropriate
Fantastic! I've made crab cakes only once before and had problems keeping them together in the skillet. Not this recipe. The "sauce" really helps keep them from crumbling apart. My sauce broke too, but my fiance (who knows a lot more about cooking than I do) explained that once you add the cream, you shouldn't try to bring to a boil b/c too-high temps will destroy your sauce. I almost went with the cheap-o crab, but sprung for the premium lump jumbo crab--and it was worth every penny! I'll make this recipe again and again!flag if inappropriate
yum, this is a great recipe. i used much less butter over the top and it still worked nicely. i also had to use rice flour to create the roux (due to gluten intolerance) and although its consistency was odd at first, once the egg, mustard and other ingredients were added it sorted itself out nicely.flag if inappropriate
These were good and easy. I only used one kind of crabmeat which worked fine.No sauce necessary.flag if inappropriate
Made these as appetizers and they were the rave of the party. Only changes were that I made them smaller and fried them in a splash of safflower oil.flag if inappropriate
These are the best crab cakes I have had--anywhere. Anytime I eat out and order crab cakes, they never measure up to "my" (and by my I mean Epicurious's) recipe. I followed the recipe exactly and used Panko breadcrumbs on the outside for added crunch. Bravo!!flag if inappropriate
I've made this for the last three year's for our New Year's party. EVERYONE LOVES THEM!!! I wouldn't add breadcrumbs... if you put them in the refrigerator for about an hour the mixture firms up a bit... making the the crab cakes easier to form. I never had a problem with my butter or cream separating... and I'm not the best cook, so I'm not sure what other reviewers did wrong. If I want them crispier I put them under the broiler briefly. They're really wonderful!flag if inappropriate

By: Eddie Garcia, KOB Eyewitness News 4
After more than three months of disappointment and dead ends, a new clue has surfaced in the search for missing Colorado teen Dylan Redwine.
It came from the East Mountain search-and-rescue group KOB Eyewitness News 4 introduced to the Redwine family.
It's nothing but ice, snow and sub-zero temperatures at Vallecito Lake - but K-9 Forensics says they are making some headway.
A hound picked up on a scent on the east side of the lake.
The La Plata County Sheriff's Office hadn't heard about the hit when we called them this morning, but they do say a lot of new tips have come flooding in lately.
"Every now and then we'll get one that will be classified as a tip and we're still sorting through those," said Sgt. Dan Bender.
The renewed interest is because of a recent interview with the family on national television.
In just the last day over a hundred of tips have flooded the sheriff's office.
"Any time there is any regional or national coverage in our search for Dylan we get a spike in calls," said Bender.
Although this latest clue, this hit on the east side of Vallecito Lake could be anything - investigators hope some light will be shed on this case and that it will lead them to Dylan.
The La Plata County Sheriff's Office says they've searched the east side of the lake with divers and sonar in the past and weren't able to find anything.

How are citizens involved in the three branches of our federal government?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The answer to this varies for each of the branches. The people are most directly involved with the legislative branch and least involved with the judicial branch.
The people are directly involved with the legislative and executive branches in that they vote for the people who are the leaders of those branches. In addition, the people can pressure these branches through the activities of interest groups or simply through writing letters expressing their opinions.
None of these options is really open with the judicial branch. The people are only able to be involved with this branch through bringing law suits. Sometimes interest groups will have legal strategies that involve bringing lawsuits to challenge laws that they wish to overturn.
In these ways, the people can be involved to some extent in each of the three branches, but they are least involved with the judicial branch.

The Mets hint that they'll change the fences at Citi Field
Sep 21, 2011, 12:30 PM EDT
The issue of the fences at Citi Field gets thrown out for public consumption a few times a year. It was ruled out a year ago. There was some chatter about it in April. Then Jeff Francoeur weighed in because, hey, why not? Adam Rubin and Greg Rybarczyk of Hittrackeronline analyzed what it would all mean over the summer.
Basically, unless and until the Mets stop sucking, the issue will be debated. And since the Mets keep on sucking, someone asked Sandy Alderson about it today:
Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson gave his strongest indication yet early Wednesday that the team will modify the ballpark's cavernous dimensions before the start of the 2012 season. He said the Mets are considering several alterations, one of which will likely be a reduction in the height of the left-field wall, which stands at 16 feet.
Alderson said "if we do something, it won't be subtle."
No word on whether that included trading for some dudes who can actually hit home runs.
- aleskel - Sep 21, 2011 at 12:50 PM
Honestly, I don't know why they should bother. The stadium plays both ways – stock your team with guys who can hit it into the gap and run a little and you can still have an effective offense. And maybe get some pitchers who can throw strikes and miss the occasional bat.
- Joe - Sep 21, 2011 at 12:52 PM
My understanding is that moving/lowering the fences will make it easier for the other team to hit home runs, too. Is that your understanding? Because if that's the case, altering the fences doesn't really do anything to address the fact that Mets Players < Other Teams' Players.
- dailyrev - Sep 21, 2011 at 12:55 PM
I still remember being taken to Yankee Stadium for the first time when I was 9. I'll now reveal how old I am: the monuments were on the field. From behind home plate, it was like looking into space; that green galaxy just went on and on and on, and those three stone markers were like grey dots on the horizon. I thought it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
so I have no problem with "cavernous." You can win in such a stadium with the right team and good pitching. What has changed in this context since I was a boy, however, is this: the athletes are faster and there are more of them. Like the Snakes' OF, all 3 of which can run down gappers that outfielders in the 60's could only chase on the ground. So in that respect "cavernous" has lost some of its offensive advantage. But I haven't seen any of the new corporate stadiums, can't afford anything more these days than the Coney Island double A field. Sports belongs to the corporations now; the rest of us just have our telescreens.
- sdelmonte - Sep 21, 2011 at 12:59 PM
I think the idea is that the Mets want to go big, both to put butts in the seats and to get big time hitters. I don't agree that you need bats to win, but it does seem to be a popular attitude.
And as we've seen on this very board, some New York area fans seem quite happy with a team that wins with big hits, and plenty of them, with the occasional gem tossed by the team's lone ace. If it works in the Bronx, it could work in Queens.
All that said, Alderson has never been the sort to copy what other teams do. My guess is that changes won't be coming soon, and won't be as drastic as he suggests.
- dailyrev - Sep 21, 2011 at 1:01 PM
Ha, I just remembered something else from that day: my sister asking: "ugh, are there people buried out there?"
- crash1582 - Sep 21, 2011 at 1:07 PM
The only advantage to this would be they could put more seats in the outfield. Good teams are going to win ballgames regardless of how big the outfield is. Seems the opposing teams don't have any problem winning there.
- Francisco (FC) - Sep 21, 2011 at 1:17 PM
Sandy Alderson: David, just swing for the fences!
David Wright (points to the outfield): Can you even SEE the fences?
Sandy Alderson (squints): You have a point…
- ikedavisnose - Sep 21, 2011 at 2:33 PM
To anybody who says that other teams will also hit more home runs. Yes you are rite but other teams are already hitting the CRAP out of the ball there just look at Mike Stanton and Mark Renyolds
- jwbiii - Sep 21, 2011 at 4:18 PM
Since CitiField opened, the Mets have outhomered at home 182-157. During that same timeframe, they've been outhomered on the road 251-168. If they mess with the fences, and make CitiField play like a more average park,I think it is likely that the Mets pitchers will allow more additional home runs than their hitters will hit.
- xmatt0926x - Sep 21, 2011 at 5:30 PM
I may be wrong on this and I'm sure someone will quickly rip me if I am, but right off the top of my head it just seems to me that the teams that always struggle with offense every year are the teams that play in these "grand canyon" stadiums. It's easy to say that a team in these stadiums needs to adjust their players to guys who hit in the gaps, have speed, etc., but is it just too hard to build a team like that consistently? Are there enough quality hitters like that in baseball to fill out whole lineups on these kind of teams or is it easier to have a "normal" team that may have a couple real quality hitters and a couple power sluggers that hit you the 3 run bomb here and there? How many years are the Giants, Padres, Mets and every other team that plays in these giant parks going to talk about how they have to redo their entire hitting philosophy to adjust to these giant parks? I'm a Phillies fan and good pitching plays well in any sized park (even with the occasional pop-up that goes for a homer). I'm trying to think if there are any real good offensive teams who play in these big parks.
- xmatt0926x - Sep 21, 2011 at 5:32 PM
Oops. Hit the post button before I finished. Bottom line I guess was to ask whether in the long run it has shown to be an adavantage to any team to intentionally build a larger than normal park?

Marc Emery wants to come home.
The U.S. government agreed in April to transfer the "Prince of Pot" – currently serving a five-year federal sentence for selling marijuana seeds over the Internet – to Canada.
Yet, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney has to date refused to sign off on the transfer or publicly comment on it.
With Emery's early release date of July 9, 2014 fast approaching, his wife Jodie and opposition MPs (in the form of the NDP's Libby Davies, Liberal's Wayne Easter and Green's Elizabeth May) are taking to the steps of Parliament Tuesday to demand action.
"[Marc] is so anxious to go home, the U.S. government wants him to go," Jodie Emery told Metro. "This isn't about Marc Emery wanting to legalize pot, it's about a Canadian citizen who has the right to come home."
Emery's supporters have flooded Blaney's office with hundreds of emails and faxes…

You know about Snoop's upcoming episode of VH1 Storytellers, right? It's taping next week in Brooklyn and airs on March 31. It follows up cool performances we did with Jay-Z and Mary J, and it parallels the arrival of Ego Trippin', the Doggfather's latest, which hits the racks next Tuesday. If you want to get a jump on the deal, check the stream of "Make It Good," a Trippin' track that finds our hero offering some sex advice to any playa looking to woo a special girlie.
"If you hit it, then you gotta hit harder than any other brother – the Karma Sutra be the author. Be the man who made her never want to see another man. One shot to pop/better hit the spot." Yep, Snoop's gone loverman. "It was important to give the audience another side of me," he has said. "It can't be all gangsta all the time." No it can't. Remember how he got all '70s porno on us in the sugar-shit sharp clip for "Sensual Seduction"? Sure you do.

HILLSBOROUGH, N.H. – Standing in front of a defunct stone bridge that was recently turned into a park with the help of federal stimulus funds, Mitt Romney on Friday attacked President Obama for wasting money on "careless" projects rather than focusing on job growth.
"You all know the story of this bridge. This is part of the president's stimulus plan," Romney said from the parking lot of a Ford dealership next to the Sawyer Bridge. The bridge hasn't been used by vehicles since the 1800s and does not reach from one bank to the other, but local leaders were able to get more than $150,000 from the federal stimulus bill to restore the structure.
"[The Obama administration] said, 'Look, we put in place a whole series of elements that are critical to the future of America.' And you've got one behind us right there," Romney said in reference to the bridge. "That's what they're saying. This is the absolute Bridge to Nowhere if there ever was one. That's your stimulus dollars at work."
Some local townspeople say the bridge is a tourist attraction that adds character to a busy intersection, according to The Boston Globe. "It's part of our past and future," Democrat Marjorie Porter, a Hillsborough state representative, told the Globe.
Local TV station WMUR also noted that the project overwhelmingly passed in the state Legislature and had the support of 28 state lawmakers who endorsed Romney.
Pointing to the unemployment rate – which has been slowly ticking downward in the past several months, but has not fallen below 8 percent since Obama took office – Romney argued that the stimulus has failed to achieve its main goal of job creation. He pointed to an analysis showing the cost-per-job gained from the $787 billion stimulus was $317,000.
"The largest one-time careless expenditure of government money in American history," he said.
That $317,000 figure, however, appears to be derived from simply dividing the cost by the number of jobs created and suggests that all of the stimulus money was paid out in the form of salaries. The stimulus also included money for tax cuts, infrastructure projects, and a host of other initiatives.
The former Massachusetts governor also argued that Obama made a calculated choice to slow the economic recovery by focusing on the passage of the president's health care bill. He pointed to a passage in a new book, The Escape Artists: How Obama's Team Fumbled the Recovery, focusing on Obama's early years in office.
"In this book, they point out that they said the American people will forget how long the recovery took," Romney said. "So that means they went into this knowing that when they passed Obamacare, it was going to make life harder for the American people."
What Romney didn't mention was that in the book, written by New Republic senior editor Noam Scheiber, former White House adviser Lawrence Summers complimented the president for making what he considered to be a tough but noble decision.
"I always admired the president's courage for recognizing that 50 years from now, people would remember that all Americans had health care," Summers is quoted as saying in the book. "And even if pursuing health care affected the pace of the recovery, which was unlikely in my view, people wouldn't remember how fast the recovery from this recession was."

Kyle Brodziak scored a pair of goals, and the Minnesota Wild earned another late-season win by topping the Edmonton Oilers 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Charlie Coyle, Mikael Granlund and Zach Parise also scored for the Wild (24-16-3), who are 2-0-1 in their last three games after losing five of six. Minnesota remained in sixth place in the Western Conference playoff race.
Nail Yakupov, Magnus Paajarvi and Shawn Horcoff had goals for the Oilers (16-19-7), whose slim playoff hopes took another hit. Edmonton has lost six in a row on the heels of a five-game winning streak.
The Oilers again fell behind early as the Wild scored just over a minute in. Brodziak sent a knuckler of a shot on goalie Devan Dubnyk and got in front to knock in the rebound.
Edmonton tied it 1-1 with 15 minutes gone in the opening period as Taylor Hall's shot got caught up in the equipment of Wild defender Brett Clark before falling in front of the net. Yakupov swooped in and scored the 11th goal of his rookie season, beating Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom.
The Wild regained the lead three minutes into the second period as a point shot from Stoner clipped Coyle in front and caromed past a screened Dubnyk to make it 2-1.
Minnesota went up 3-1 three-and-a-half minutes later as a rebound off the boars was tipped out front to Granlund, who slammed the puck into a wide-open net as Dubnyk went the other way.
It took just 20 seconds into the third for the Wild to go up 4-1 with a power-play goal. Parise slid the puck through the crease and went behind the net untouched. He still had time to backhand in his initial shot for his 16th goal.
The Wild went ahead 5-1 five minutes into the third as Jason Pominville sent Brodziak in on a breakaway. Brodziak hit the post with his shot, but Dubnyk put the puck into his own net with his backward momentum.
Edmonton got a goal back at the 10-minute mark as Hall sneaked a pass through the crease to Horcoff, who was stationed in front, and tapped home his seventh goal.
The Oilers made it a bit more interesting less than three minutes later as Yakupov worked in-between traffic before ringing a shot off the post. Paajarvi swooped in to hammer the rebound past Backstrom to make it 5-3.

Lance Armstrong sat down with Oprah Thursday night, admitting to his use of performance enhancing drugs while competing in the Tour de France. While the cyclist's "coming out" was shocking, it was his confrontation with Betsy Andreu, wife of Armstrong's teammate Frankie Andreu, that had our jaws on the floor.
According to Sports Illustrated, Ms. Andreu had never really been on Armstrong's good side. She "emailed and phoned reporters…correcting those who wrote that Armstrong had never tested positive [for PEDs]. She was on a mission "to take Lance on….I decided not to lie for him." Ms. Andreu fast became Armstrong's nemesis, and her husband even testified in the case against the world-renowned cyclist. At some point during the scuffle between Armstrong and Andreu, he reportedly called her "a fat, lying crazy bitch."
While sitting across from Oprah Winfrey last night, Armstrong agreed to privately slamming Ms. Andreu, but he wanted to make one thing clear: He "did not call her fat." Mr. Armstrong is a sensitive gentleman, after all.
(Oprah was NOT impressed with Armstrong's "fat" statement. Photo Via: OWN)
And it was at that moment that we were lost for words. Was Armstrong trying to say that "bitch" was an OK term to use when identifying Ms. Andreu, but "fat" was out of bounds? Has Paris Hilton's term of endearment for Nicole Richie rubbed off on us so much that the term "bitch" is as colloquial as, say, "girl"? And with his statement, did Armstrong want us to be like "Oh, he just called her a bitch! It's fine. Phew, thought he called her FAT for a second!" Seems like it.
And why is being called "fat" so rash that even Armstrong found it necessary to clarify? Are women so tied to their body-weight that a three-letter word could sink them into a depression faster than, say, being called a dog? The answer's quite obviously, yes. Every day, we're told through magazine editorials, TV shows, Tumblr photos, message boards etc., that having any "extra" chunk is akin to being lazy, greedy, low. We're starting to believe that being thick is a disease, witching women who can't call themselves a size 4.
When we asked around the office which word carried more venom, the answer was unanimous: Being called fat is so much worse than being called a "bitch." Hell, Anna Wintour, perhaps one of the most influential women of our generation, has been called a bitch many times, and no one's lost respect for her. As proven by her response to journalist Morley Safer in 60 Minutes, Anna doesn't mind being thrown the B-word either. When Safer asked her point-blank if she was a bitch: "I try not to be" was the Editrix's cool answer.
(Photo Via: Getty Images)
But to call someone fat is doing the unforgivable.Examples of this twisted standard can be seen in the way the media portrays curvy stars, like Khole Kardashian and Adele. Kardashian has always gotten heat for being the larger of the three sisters, something she's said time and time again has been totally hurtful. Adele was shot down from her Grammy high last summer when Karl Lagerfeld stated "Adele is too fat, but she has a beautiful face" to the fashion press.
(Photo Via: Cosmopolitan Magazine)
Yes, Armstrong's bizarre statement (or attempt at a fat joke?) was a low blow, but is our misguided culture partially to blame for the comment? While we let all this sink in, watch Betsy Andreu's response below and weigh in!

Channing Tatum's new movie Side Effects gets released today, which is sure to provide some much needed hotness in the wake of the snow-icane about to slam the Northeast. OK sure, technically the Steven Soderbergh flick also stars Jude Law as the male lead. But ever since Magic Mike, we've sort of had an unrealistic expectation for exactly how much of Channing we get to see in any given movie.
Call us crazy. And that's the magic of Mr. Tatum: He can make anything sexy just by being a part of it! Just check out the gallery below for 10 other moments that are way sexier than they every should have been, simply thanks to the talents (read: "bod") of Channing Tatum. Enjoy!

Hit the Highway to Hells Canyon
Eastern Oregonians say they named it Hells Canyon to scare people away. (Not you. Other people.) If you've been dreaming of a road trip, it's time to hit the highway to Hells Canyon.
Hells Canyon National Recreation Area is about 653,000 acres big. With the Snake River winding through the bottom of the canyon, it's the deepest gorge in North America (yes, including the Grand Canyon) at almost 8,000 feet deep. Where it carves its way through eastern Wallowa County, there is much to see and do.
Hike: The Hells Canyon Wilderness is 214,000 acres of high peaks, rim rock spires and breath-taking vistas. Take your pick from 900 miles of trails for hiking and backpacking.
Float: Get a river's-eye view of the canyon as you charge through world-class white water in a raft or on a jet boat. Choose from one-day jet boat trips or multi-day rafting down the Wild and Scenic Snake River.
Drive: The Hells Canyon Scenic Byway offers 218 miles of Oregon's most rugged country. Leave I-84 at La Grande, and travel in a counter clockwise route through the towns of Elgin, Enterprise, Joseph and Halfway before arriving in historic Baker City. If you're of the two-wheeled persuasion, check out the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally June 8-11 in Baker City.

LARAMIE, Wyo. - The Air Force men's and women's swimming and diving team split with Wyoming, Saturday afternoon in a Mountain West Conference dual meet. The Falcon men won 132-111 and the women lost 142-91.
Trailing 142-132 after 15 of 17 events, the Falcons took first, second and fourth in the 400 yard individual medley to jump ahead 147-136.

BOSTON – Northeastern scored three goals in a span of 2:52 seconds in the first period and went on to capture a 4-0 win over the 15th-ranked University of New Hampshire men's hockey team to Friday night at Matthews Arena.
Northeastern improves to 1-1-1 with a 1-1-1 record in Hockey East. UNH, which was blanked for the second time in as many games, falls to 0-2-0, 0-2-0 HE.
Northeastern scored on three of its first four shots in the period. New Hampshire controlled play early on, but it was a Braden Pimm tally at 6:29 that broke the deadlock. The goal was assisted by Steve Quailer and Alex Tuckerman on Northeastern's first rush of the game. The Huskies struck just 97 seconds later as Zak Stone slide a rebound under the pads of UNH netminder Matt Di Girolamo (Ambler, Pa.). Adam Reid and Luke Eibler earned helpers on rebound tally. NU completed its three-goal flurry with a Justin Daniels goal at 9:21. Josh Manson and Ludwig Karlsson assisted on the goal. The Wildcats called timeout after the third goal and responded with solid pressure, but were unable to break-through on NU netminder Chris Rawlings. UNH's best chance in the period was a one-timer from the point by Connor Hardowa (Edmonton, Alberta) that rattled off the pipe at 5:35.
In a scoreless second period, each team had seven shots on net. The Wildcats had quality chances, especially on the power play during the frame, but were unable to score. John Henrion (Holden, Mass.) had one of the best chances in the period when he fired a wrister in the waning moments, but Rawlings was able to cover the puck with one second remaining.
The Huskies netted the lone goal of the third period as Mike McLaughlin scored at 8:37 with assists from Luke Eibler and Robbie Vrolyk. UNH held a 9-8 shot advantage in the period for a 27-21 advantage for the game.
Rawlings stopped 27 shots including 11 in the first period to improve to 1-1-1. Di Girolamo turned aside 14 shots in his 48:37 of play and falls to 0-2-0. Sophomore netminder Jeff Wyer (Reading, Mass.) saw the first action of his collegiate career and saved all three shots he faced in 11:23 of play.
UNH returns to action Saturday (7 p.m.) when it opens its home slate against top-ranked Boston College. For tickets to the B.C. game and more information on Wildcat hockey including links to live stats, live video and live audio log on to www.UNHWildcats.com.

Election preview: Early voting for Aug. 14 primary starts Saturday in St. Lucie County
Early voting locations
Early voting for the primary election in St. Lucie County begins Aug. 4 and continues through Aug. 11. Early voting will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the following locations:
Port St. Lucie Community Center, 2195 S.E. Airoso Boulevard, Port St Lucie
Morningside Branch Library, 2410 S.E. Morningside Boulevard, Port St Lucie
Zora Neale Hurston Library, 3008 Avenue D, Fort Pierce
St. Lucie county Supervisor of Elections, 4132 Okeechobee Road, Fort Pierce.
Voters need to bring a valid photo identification with a signature or complete a provisional ballot.
Voters can also wait until election day, Aug. 14, when polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
For information, call (772) 462-1500 or go to www.slcelections.com
Early voting for the Aug. 14 primary begins Saturday across the Treasure Coast, and elections officials are reminding voters that because of changes in election laws, polls will be open Sunday at the region's eight early voting locations.
The area's three supervisors of elections expect about 16,000 Treasure Coast residents to cast ballots during the eight-day early voting period.
Florida is a closed primary state, meaning registered voters must vote within their own party affiliation; Republicans for Republican candidates, Democrats for Democratic candidates. Voters of all affiliations can vote in races that only have candidates from one party unless there is a write-in or no-party candidate; the primary race is then closed to those of the same party affiliation.
Martin County Supervisor of Elections Vicky Davis said she's expecting about 4,000 voters to show up during the early voting period. St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker predicted about 5,000 voters will take advantage of early voting to cast a primary ballot.
Leslie Swan, Indian River County Supervisor of Elections, said she's expecting about 7,000 voters to cast ballots at the county's three locations during the eight-day period.
Here's a look at what you need to know for early voting.
Candidates: Allen West, Robert Crowder
West, a congressman from Broward, and Crowder, the longtime Martin County sheriff, offer starkly different Republican choices for Treasure Coast-centered District 18.
West is a nationally known conservative and has raised almost $10 million. The Plantation Republican just rented a Palm Beach Gardens house. He favors domestic oil production, wants to extend the Bush-era tax cuts, decries President Obama's health-care reform and thinks compromise lets Democrats get their way. His outspokenness — calling about 80 Democrats Communists, for example — garners national criticism and tea party support.
Crowder has lived locally for decades and opposes divisiveness and name-calling among parties. He rankled some Republicans by crossing party lines multiple times. He doesn't have a firm stance on the Obama health-care law, but vows to study it in office and work across the aisle. He disapproves of drilling in Florida's waters and the Everglades.

Candidates: Patrick Murphy, Jerry Buechler, Jim Horn
A well-funded Broward County accountant and two locals headline the Democratic primary for a Martin-St. Lucie-northern Palm Beach seat in Congress.
Murphy, a Fort Lauderdale CPA who moved to Jupiter to run, has centered his campaign on business experience, moderate Democratic principles and willingness to compromise. He moved from a Palm Beach-Broward district to continue running against Republican U.S. Rep. Allen West. Millions of campaign dollars have followed.
Buechler, a retired firefighter from Port St. Lucie, wants to expand several government protections, like Medicare, and focus on green energy, like electric cars. He wants to reduce tax breaks for the wealthy. Horn, a Palm City business consultant, is running as a local candidate with an entrepreneurial track record. He values business incentive programs and securing funds for local projects.

Candidates: Larry Lee Jr., Adam Fetterman, Kevin Stinnette
St. Lucie County-based District 84 features three hopefuls vying for an open seat: Lee, a Fort Pierce insurance agent; Fetterman, a former House representative from Port St. Lucie; and Stinnette, a schoolteacher and former Indian Riverkeeper from Fort Pierce.
Fetterman touts his Tallahassee experience, Lee's background could help Florida's Citizens Property Insurance woes, and Stinnette is a well-known environmental advocate.
The Democratic winner faces local insurance agent Michelle Miller in November. The Fort Pierce native is the only Republican running.

Candidates: Randy Duane Johnson, Cary Pigman
Western St. Lucie County now falls within state House District 55 and residents there face a decision between three candidates who want to represent them in Tallahassee.
Republicans Randy Duane Johnson and Cary Pigman will vie for the seat in the Aug. 14 primary and the winner will face Democrat Crystal Drake in the Nov. 6 general election.
All three candidates say they understand the needs of rural residents as all three either own land and livestock or have experience managing ranching operations.
Johnson, 52, of Sebring, who is a veteran Navy pilot and politician, served in the state House for four terms. He said his key issues are jobs, growth management, taxes and protecting rural property rights.
Pigman, 53, of Avon Park, is an emergency room doctor and sheep farmer. He recently returned from the war in Iraq, where he served as a lieutenant colonel and physician. He wants to see lower taxes and more efficiency on how money is spent at the state level.
For more information on this race, click here.
Candidates: Democrats Thomas Kindred Jr., Chris Craft, Johnathan Ferguson
Candidates say the key issues for the office are fiscal responsibility and customer service in a race that will be decided in the Democratic primary election, which will be open to all voters because there are no Republican candidates.
Kindred, one of the founders of the Fort Pierce Main Street program, spent more than two decades managing businesses in St. Lucie County and believes that experience gives him the background to be approachable and understanding as a tax collector.
Craft, currently in his second term as county commissioner, said he's proven to be a leader and understands the county's financial health better than his opponents.
Ferguson, a local land use attorney, said he wants the job and is qualified because he's comfortable with numbers and the business aspects of the office.

Candidates: Bob Benton, Billy O'Dell
The winner of the Aug. 14 Republican primary will take on incumbent Democrat Chris Dzadovsky in the general election. A hot issue of the race is jobs.
Benton, the Fort Pierce mayor for the past two terms and Fort Pierce commissioner for two terms before that, said he could better serve taxpayers at the county level and aims to lower county tax rates, bring retail shopping to the county and make county government more efficient.
O'Dell, the owner of a variety of local businesses in agriculture, tourism, transportation, recreation, retail and public safety, said he could bring diversified business experience to the county and aims to reduce unemployment, diversify economic growth, bring back agriculture and tourism and support existing business.
For more information on this race, click here.
For Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers' editorial board endorsement, click here.
Candidates: Bobby Hopkins, Chip Radebaugh, Al Rivett
Key topics in the race to fill the empty spot left by Chris Craft are jobs and the regionalization of utilities.
Hopkins, a plaster contractor, arm wrestling champion and former football player, said he had to work hard to play professional football and to have a successful business and would take advantage of the county's natural assets to bring in more revenue.
Radebaugh, the owner of glass shops locally and across the state and a former cowboy, said he has the advantage of being a common sense businessman and wants to help pull the community out of a recession.
Rivett, the chairman of the Shared Services Alliance of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast and former executive director of St. Lucie Habitat for Humanity, said his goal is to grow the local economy by creating jobs and helping existing businesses.

For Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers' editorial board endorsement, click here.
Candidates: Patrick Campion, John Culverhouse Jr., Charles Grande and Kim Johnson
Key topics in the Democratic race to fill the shoes of Chris Craft are jobs and the regionalization of utilities.
Campion, a customer service representative and musician, said his goals are to continue to court new businesses that may come to the county, as well as help small businesses develop and entrepreneurs in the community get up and running.
Culverhouse, a management and public relations consultant and chairman of the county's Citizen's Budget Committee, said he would help create a friendly environment for new businesses and encourage efforts to make the county a research hub.
Grande, a former commissioner who has financial and computer experience and managed companies, said he has the most experience and aims to further optimize the county budget, protect county taxpayers and move forward with stalled projects.
Johnson, a motivational speaker, said he's found in his work with local kids that a lot of their parents don't have jobs, and he's running to stop local jobs and local business contracts from being outsourced to people outside the county.

Candidates: Robert Bluestone, Jolien Caraballo, Dan Kurek, Ron Bowen
The hot topic on the candidates' minds for this soon-to-be vacant seat is economic development and job growth within the city.
Bluestone, a former Fort Pierce commissioner, said the city should focus on supporting the city's loyal, yet struggling businesses by giving them an edge over outside companies in the bidding of good and services the city needs.
Caraballo, director of operations at a St. Lucie West salon, said government red tape and regulations is standing in the way of local job growth and she's looking to remove any barriers.
Kurek, former chairman of the city's disbanded Citizens' Advisory Board Committee, agrees extra regulations should be eliminated because if businesses prosper so will citizens.
Bowen, a former District 4 councilman, said the key is to think "big" and plan for the future so when the city's limited resources grow they'll be ready to grow.
All but Bowen said that controversial Mayor JoAnn Faiella should resign.
For more information on this race, click here.
For Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers' editorial board endorsement, click here.
Candidates: Reggie Sessions, R. Duke Nelson, Alfredia Wilder-Agnew
Hot topics in Fort Pierce are jobs and seaport development.
Nelson, a former city commissioner and retired Army lieutenant colonel, said his goals are to look at port issues, utility issues and the lack of jobs in the area because the city has a serious problem with crime and poverty.
Sessions, a lawyer and the incumbent city commissioner, said the benefits of developing the seaport include jobs, tax revenues, tariffs, new businesses and a boost to existing businesses, both in the city and throughout the region.
Wilder-Agnew, a former insurance agent and former county jail employee, said the black community needs jobs because, if people have jobs, they stay out of trouble.

When Saturday Night Live parodied Kim Kardashian's blink-and-you'll-miss-it wedding last week, we bet she wasn't too upset. Because let's face it, that's just what SNL does. But when middle-of-the-road crooner Michael Buble turns on you, that's when you know you've got a major PR issue. The velvet voiced singer took a shot at Kim during his set at the iHeartRadio Live concert in Tribeca last night in between selections from his latest album, Christmas. In fact, he even dropped an f-bomb and *gasp* a b-bomb! Where's the holiday cheer, Mike?
"Ladies and gentleman, I have a very special guest," Buble said from the stage of the P.C. Richard & Son Theater. "Please welcome Kim Kardashian!" The audience was reportedly shocked and confused, until Buble started to laugh. "Nah, just f–king with you! That b-tch isn't coming on my stage." Goodness, Harry Connick Jr. would never use that kind of language! This is just the latest example of a Kardashian backlash following accusations that her marriage was simply a lucrative publicity stunt. Head to the gallery below for more famous faces who aren't keeping up with the Kardashians these days.

UT Alumnus Establishes Scholarship for International Study
Published: Sep 5, 2007
University of Tampa alumnus Axel Claesges and his wife, Ann, recently established a $4,000 annual scholarship to support UT students' participation in study abroad and international programs.
The annual scholarship, part of a comprehensive planned gift, was named the Axel and Ann Claesges Study Abroad Fund and will assist and encourage deserving undergraduate and graduate students with financial need to complete an international experience or study abroad program.
Axel Claesges, a 1962 alumnus, worked for 25 years as a professor in the Department of Foreign Languages at West Virginia University and developed a study abroad program in Germany. Ann, a graduate of Vanderbilt University, served as a schoolteacher. Ann and Axel Claesges live in Nashville.
Dan Gura, vice president for development and college relations, said Axel and Ann Claesges were impressed with The University of Tampa's intimate, residential atmosphere, and with the fact that their donation could make a large impact on students' experiences.
Last May, four UT nursing students were awarded $1,000 scholarships each, which enabled them to travel with a group to Ecuador to tour medical and psychiatric hospitals, meet with local nursing faculty and students and engage in a community health project in an elementary school. The trip was part of the university's nursing program's overseas medical mission, and was coordinated by Kim Curry, UT assistant professor of nursing.
Karen Alford, a UT nursing graduate student and one of the scholarship recipients, said the exposure to health care in a third world country was invaluable.
"I think all of us came away with a greater awareness and sensitivity to the cultural diversity we increasingly see in our local hospitals, clinics and various healthcare settings," Alford said.
Gura said the gift also affirms The University of Tampa's focus on global learning.
"Study abroad is a critical part of UT students' educations, and the Claesgeses' gift enables even more students to engage in global learning and global service," Gura said.
