Yes, although both of those starting roles are tenuous at best. Anderson probably in a better situation as the backups have limited experience and weren't early draft picks. Clausen will be breathing down Matt's neck if Matt doesn't start well.
Really looking forward to the season. While pretty optimistic on the Beavs chances, I'd feel a bit better if we hadn't lost the couple of players on defense do to personal decisions. Those players were expected to be contributors and losing them just gives enough reason to be concerned. Let's hope others can step in.
That's exactly what should happen, and each year you play two fixed teams in the other division that are in your geographical region, and then play two of the other 4 every other year.
Division 1 - OSU, WSU, Cal, UCLA, ASU, Colorado
Division 2 - UO, UW, Stan, USC, UA, Utah
Every year, OSU plays UO and UW, and then plays 2 of the remaining 4 for a 9 game league schedule. That also gives the posibility of two schools from same state playing for the conference championship.
Well, I personally like these "personal" stories that give some insight to the players and their experiences as college athletes. Sean's developed a realtionship at OSU that will last a lifetime. That's part of what the college experience is all about.
woof, get a clue!! Canfield is not the reason the Beavs lost to Arizona.
Looks like the D is completely different this game, although ASUs line is really beat up so a bit difficult to read. Keep the pedal down Beavs, don't let ASU get a TD before the half.
I must agree with your comments. I believe I'm the one who coined the name "Puker" to describe aforesaid journalist, and am happy to see a marked improvement on the level of reporting. As I mentioned when I first called him out, I'm not looking for him to be an OSU homer but I also don't expect to see Yellow & Green oozing out of him while he's beat writer for Orange & Black.
I think the Riley's and CR types of OSU have definitely helped him pick up the level of his game.
Great year for OSU hoops to achieve such a marked turnaround. With the recruiting class that CR has pulled in we're headed back to the 80's!!
Put the Sun Bowl in San Antonio or Dallas (if the trip has to be to TX) and you triple the number at a minimum. Gawd, is Hansen out of office yet? He's just completely blown it for the Pac-10.
How's that UO education working for you?
notoriousj, you buffoon! You're one of the worst at ripping on the Beavs. Rather than Beav fans taking notes, how about yourself? What goes around comes around.....
BTW, I'm just thankful I don't have to pay for that trash.
Gsilver..."golly gee"?
As you'll note, my first post went inadvertently and my second post cleaned up the language. Yes, I was very annoyed when I first wrote the comment, because I'm tired of his petty, amateurish little digs. The only reason I read his posts is that I enjoy keeping informed about all that is OSU. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to go through the pain of his posts and articles to get that information.
It's sad that someone who holds themself out to be a journalist fails so mightily. Is he objective and unbiased in his reporting? Hardly.
Puker - What is your problem?? Why do you continue to use OS (U)? Did you rail on (U) of O when they changed their logo to the toilet seat? Do you rail on (U) of M(ichigan) for only using the M in their logo? Tennessee? Washington? Stanford? (U)SC?
The fact is, a large number of universities do not use every initial of the full name of the institution.
You're supposedly the beat writer for Oregon State (hmm, that's right, how often do people refer to it as Oregon State and not Oregon State University....I bet that's how you referenced it 99% of the time in your articles). That doesn't mean you have to be a complete homer, but stop being so childish. Grow up!!
Puker - what the f*** is your problem?? Why the OS (U)?? Did you rail on (U) of O when they switched their logo to the toilet seat? Do you rail on (U) of M(ichigan)? Tennessee? Washington? Stanford? (U)SC? The fact is, a large number of universities do not use every initial of the full college name in their logo.
You're continuous use of this just makes you look childish. Grow up.

The Masters
Boys To Men
The Crow's Nest, Bobby Jones' attic in the Augusta National clubhouse, has been home for generations of Masters amateurs. 'When you come down,' says one, 'you're grown up.' Oh, and you'll have stories you can tell the rest of your life
Let us now praise famous bedrooms. Lincoln's. Ferris Bueller's. Thoreau's cabin. Room 776 in D.C.'s Mayflower hotel, where FDR wrote, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Carl Spackler's crib. Nice place. Cleaned by leaf blower. Got that going for it. But the best bedroom in the world? The Crow's Nest. It's at Augusta National Golf Club. It's at the top of the building somewhere under the clubhouse's famous cupola. Money doesn't get you in. If you're a good player and an amateur, Augusta might invite you to sleep over while playing the Masters. The people there will charge you for the room, but it's a bargain rate (undisclosed) in a quaint nod to days when young guys scraped up nickels and hitched rides to walk the same ground as Hogan, Snead and Nelson.
There's tons of history. Bobby Jones invented the place. We know eight kids who stayed there and grew up to win the tournament: Jack Nicklaus, Tommy Aaron, Tom Watson, Ben Crenshaw, Craig Stadler, Mark O'Meara, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.
So Danny Lee was wired. He was 18 years old, the youngest U.S. Amateur champion ever. Born in South Korea, raised in New Zealand, the whippet with the whiplash swing had come to play in the tournament of his dreams. Almost as much fun, he would stay in the Crow's Nest. He said he would "sleep where Tiger slept."
If only he could find it ...
"I walked all through the clubhouse, and I walked more," he says, "and I walked upstairs, and it was like another clubhouse up there ..."
The Nest must be there somewhere.
"Going up there was, like, a mystery," Lee says of his wanderings four Aprils ago. "And then we got to the secret door."
Arthur Conan Doyle's stuff probably has a private room at the top of a famous building reached only by a hidden stairway behind a door no one can see. The real thing is at Augusta National. It's so rich with mystique that the society of Nesters has a proprietary pride. The young pro Brandt Snedeker, Class of 2004, says, "It's the one room, the one spot at Augusta National that is off-limits to everybody but the amateurs. It's our escape."
Watson had a nightmare there.
Crenshaw, in his skivvies, walked on the clubhouse roof. One midnight, Hubert Green climbed a wall to get back in. Bruce Fleisher called it a cathouse. Chip Drury screamed for his mommy. Bobby Clampett went into seclusion. Billy Andrade pilfered a doughnut from under an old champion's stern gaze. Rick Bendall decided he'd better be a doctor. Don Cherry landed on double-secret probation after stealing away from the Nest to sing at a strip club.
Watson, who lived there in 1970, knows the way up.
"A secret passage," he says.
David Chung made the walk up for the first time last April. He was 21.
"You come in the main door, into the lobby," he says, "and you see the Masters trophy, your first sight. You walk up these stairs to a room where members are sitting, chatting, playing cards. Across the room, you can hear talk from the Champions Locker Room, the champions hanging out."
Five or six steps past the club's front door, just in front of the silver trophy that is a replica of the Augusta clubhouse, Chung had ascended a curving stairway to a second-floor landing. To his right was the library, open to everyone. To his left, the champions' room, open only to immortals.
Nowhere is there a hint of the Crow's Nest--unless, maybe, there's something behind that corner door marked TELEPHONE.
No one would think to look there.
"It's like it's a closet," Chung says.
In fact, there's a door just like that in the first-floor grillroom. It opens to a phone in a small closet. But there's something about this second-floor TELEPHONE. There is no other interior door, no other possible entrance to an upper level where the Crow's Nest must be. Conan Doyle's man, Sherlock Holmes, taught us that once we eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Any decent sleuth, then, would open that TELEPHONE door.
He would find a phone, and more. The phone is not in a closet but on a wall shelf at the near end of a small hallway. But just past the phone, midway down the corridor, there is a second door. It's small, unseen from any place except directly in front of it. That door's hardware is a brass knob and an iron escutcheon. It is the stuff of another century. To see it is to think the door was hung by a plantation owner named Dennis Redmon, who built the house in 1854. The door opens to reveal a steep staircase. It's 15 steps. It's the long, narrow climb typically taken on rickety steps to reach the dark, dusty, cobwebby, forgotten storage space under a building's rafters.
This is different. These steps are carpeted. The staircase has shiny handrails. There's light up there. And that picture on the wall at the top of the stairs--it's the sainted Bobby Jones himself.


text: A bill will likely be introduced in the next couple weeks that will impose regulations on commercial dog breeders that sell directly to the public. The bill is part of a growing effort to put a stop to puppy mills in North Carolina. Groups, such as the American Kennel Club, and the North Carolina Federation of Dog Owners believe the legislation may affect responsible dog owners in a negative way.

Below is the poem entitled My Life which was written by poet
O'Day. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Megan O'day
The first time I was on a near death experience,
I was 25
Cold winter day
Lightly snowing
Icy roads
Frost coved windshields
Car lights passing
And gone
Kids in the backseat
Music going loud
Talking on the phone
Screaming and crying
Wild like a zoo...my zoo
On the freeway
Signs flying by,
Cars speeding past
A deer in the center of my lane
Sliding this way and skidding that way
I heard the kids go quite then screaming
Louder than before with fear in their voices
It was all a blur
We were on a thin sheet of ice and I heard cracking
But the one thing I can remember the most was what I didn't know
How to make it all go away, how to make it back to normal
Living my life the same, I don't think I can
I don't really remember what happened
Next but there was a flash of light and I shut my eyes,
But when I opened them
We were in a white room, bright with lots of colors
Flowers, toys, big teddy bears
1 deer is all that it took
For me to realize how
Fragile and precious life is...
I didn't know what happen but I think I had help from above...

MADISON, Wis. -- Someone who bought a Mega Millions ticket on Milwaukee's south side will be having a very merry Christmas.
The Wisconsin lottery says the ticket is a $1 million winner. The ticket, sold at a Pick N' Save store, matched five regular winning numbers, but not the Mega Ball. Normally the ticket would be worth $250,000, but the lucky player also bought the multiplier feature which boosted the prize to $1 million.

Every Tuesday, UK Athletics recognizes outstanding performances for our student-athletes. These are the honorees for the week ending Sunday, March 25:
Gymnastics: Holly Cunningham
Sophomore Holly Cunningham posted the highest individual score for Kentucky at the SEC Championships with her career-high tying 9.85 on vault. Has now posted a 9.8 or higher on vault in nine of her last 10 meets.
Softball: Griffin Joiner
Freshman Griffin Joiner was her continued steady-self offering the Wildcats a .300 batting clip and a pair of crucial RBI in helping clinch a series over No. 18/21 Auburn. Joiner gave UK a 1-0 lead in both of the final two games of the series with the Tigers. In Saturday's game the lead would be one UK would not relinquish en route to earning a series win over the Tigers for just the fourth time in school history. Her sacrifice fly in the final game of the series proved to be UK's lone scoring of the game and it was a lead UK held until Auburn mounted a two-run bottom of the seventh rally to salvage a sweep. Joiner's presence at catcher cannot go unnoticed. She logged a perfect 1.000 fielding clip while notching 28 putouts and four assists. Runners attempted to steal on her a mere three times, and she successfully turned the play in all three attempts not allowing any runners to advance a base on her watch. Her success rate discouraged additional attempts as teams opted for sacrifice hits and hit-and-runs.
Men's tennis: Alex Musialek
Became the 14th player in school history to record 100 singles wins with his come-from-behind win over No. 82 Roberto Maytin of Baylor. The native of Dax, France, earned the historic win in a three-set thriller over No. 82 Roberto Maytin at No. 2 singles. After dropping the first set 3-6, Musialek dominated the second set 6-1 and then rolled in the third set 6-4 to grab the win.
Baseball: Alex Phillips
Senior southpaw Alex Phillips had a pair of strong relief outings in helping the Wildcats extend their NCAA-leading 24-1 record with a series win at Tennessee and a midweek win at Cincinnati ... In game two of the series at UT, Phillips entered the game after a rain storm had halted play on Sunday, working the final 4.1 shutout innings to post a win to even that series ... In a midweek win at UC, Phillips entered when the steady UK bullpen was allowing six runs to make the contest tight ... Phillips immediately got UK out of any trouble to lock the save down with two innings and two strikeouts ... On the year, Phillips owns a 3-0 record and a 2.11 ERA in 10 relief outings, tossing 21.1 innings, allowing only 12 hits and five walks, striking out 19, with a .190 opposing batting average.
Baseball: J.T. Riddle
Sophomore second baseman J.T. Riddle had a clutch week in helping No. 2 Kentucky to a midweek win at Cincinnati and a series victory at Tennessee ... Riddle's clutch hitting led UK to the series win over the Vols, UK's first in Knoxville since the 2008 season and helped the Wildcats improve to a nation-leading 24-1, including a 5-1 mark in SEC play ... After the Wildcats suffered their first loss of the year in the series opener on Friday night to snap a 22-game winning streak, Riddle's bat paced UK to the series-evening win in game two, batting 3-for-4 with three RBI, a homer and a triple ... In the series finale, a seven-inning game, the two teams were locked in a scoreless pitching duel in the top of the sixth when Riddle smacked a double off the wall in leftfield to score the go-ahead and game-winning run ... In a midweek win at UC, Riddle scored a pair of runs and added an RBI single ... In addition to his contributions at the plate, Riddle has played stellar defense at second base, with his instincts, range and arm strength helping the UK defensive unit rank second in the SEC in fielding ... On the year, Riddle has hit .318 (28-for-88), with five doubles, one triple, one homer and 18 RBI, with his 23 runs scored ranking eighth in the league.
Softball: Rachel Riley
Senior Rachel Riley was flawless in her two starts and two victories this week in UK's impressive 3-1 weekend including taking a series from No. 18/21 Auburn for just the fourth time school history. Riley earned the decisive-series clinching victory over the Tigers with a complete-game effort. She worked 7.0 innings yielding just one earned run and limiting Auburn to a mere five hits. She struck out four in the win. The win marked the ninth of her career over a top-25 ranked opponent and the first in her senior campaign. She also contributed offensively with a 2-for-4 day at the dish which was her sixth multi-hit outing of the season. In UK's non-conference victory in front of her hometown of Bowling Green, Ky., on the campus of Western Kentucky, Riley again worked a complete-game. She struck out six batters and allowed just five Hilltopper hits. She also logged a 1-for-4 day at the plate in the UK victory. With 10 strikeouts this weekend, Riley moved into fifth place on UK's all-time career strikeout list. With two wins she also becomes just one of three pitchers in school history with 35 or more career wins.
Baseball: Chandler Shepherd
Right-hander Chandler Shepherd made his first career road start at Big East foe Cincinnati on Wednesday, posting his second career win ... Shepherd worked a career-long 5.2 innings, allowing five hits and two runs, striking out two ... Shepherd worked five shutout innings and came out for the sixth inning in an effort to extend his pitch count, with the Bearcats scoring two on a triple ... On the year, Shepherd has appeared in five games with four starts, posting a 2-0 record and a 3.15 ERA, in 20 innings, walking five and striking out 11.

Looking to lift your spirits online? Happier is a new social network and iPhone app that combines a classic mood-lifting technique with the modern obsession about posting updates and earning achievements.
Founder Nataly Kogan created Happier based on studies that showcase the mental and physical health benefits of writing down three positive things per day. The premise is simple. Make an account and share what makes you happy at any particular moment, whether it's a job promotion or simply seeing an adorable pack of puppies walking down the street. Think of it as Facebook without any of the passive aggression or political pretense.
MORE: 10 Best iPhone Apps You're Not Using
Users can sign up with an existing Facebook or Twitter account and share their small moments of happiness across the two networks. Every happy update can be enhanced with a photo and added to a category such as "being grateful", "being productive," and "chilling out." Knowing that smartphone junkies love a challenge, the Happier app updates daily with a specific question for users, such as "What's your favorite way to take time for yourself and catch your breath?"
You can try out Happier for yourself on the official website or via the free iOS app.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 2006 The Afghan government is implementing a new national security system designed to strengthen the country's security apparatus, U.S. officials reported.
The entire National Security Coordination System is to be fully operational by the end of 2008, officials said. The system will improve coordination among Afghan military and law enforcement agencies and enhance regional stability.
The system will consist of a National Coordination Center, five Joint Regional Coordination Centers and 34 Joint Provincial Coordination Centers. The centers will provide Afghan army and police leaders with operational information they can use to better-allocate security forces.
Current and planned regional and provincial Afghan National Police headquarters are to provide the foundation for the new coordination centers, with representation from the Afghan army and police forces and the National Directorate of Security, officials said.
In other news, Afghan and coalition forces yesterday captured two terrorists during a raid on a compound near the village of Pelankhel, in the Khowst province, U.S. officials reported.
The compound was part of a local terror network and a refuge for al Qaeda-linked operatives, officials said. The operation led to the detention of two terrorists suspected of plotting improvised-explosive-device attacks.
Several women and children were present at the compound, but none were harmed in the raid. Weapons, night vision equipment, and various devices suitable for making IEDs were confiscated during a search of the compound.
Elsewhere, Afghan National Police found and confiscated 13 mortar rounds in a pile of grass in the Khost district of Khost province on Sept. 4. The officers transported the munitions to their headquarters.
Also, in a separate incident in Paktika province on Sept. 4, coalition troops discovered an unattended mortar round near a coalition base in the Bermel district. Coalition forces disarmed and destroyed the mortar round at the discovery site.
"Recovering and disposing of these weapons increases the safety and security of Afghans and reduces the danger in the area posed by criminals and extremists who might use those munitions indiscriminately to cause harm on the Afghan people, Afghan security forces or coalition forces," U.S. Army Lt. Col. Paul Fitzpatrick, a Combined Joint Task Force 76 spokesman, said.

Love the design of this bag!
The first thing I said when I pulled out my new bag was "this material feels amazing!" Its a really comfortable bag. I love how both sides unzip. Only down fall is that the material does get caught in the zippers a lot which makes it frustrating in partial sleep and potential for rips.

Locals participate in 'Day of Prayer'
HUNTINGTON -- Approximately 100 people attended Thursday's prayer ceremony at the Cabell County Courthouse.
The event, held in conjunction with the National Day of Prayer, involved local dignitaries offering prayers for God's guidance in government, education and family.
Huntington Mayor Steve Williams welcomed attendees, reciting a psalm in calling Thursday "a day the Lord has made." He further said his administration and others who serve the community rely on the prayers of everyone.
"While we are standing here before the Lord, we are standing here with other faith traditions as well, who are welcome members of our community and integrated within," he said. "It is through their prayers, our prayers, that our city will continue to move forward."
The Rev. Richard Revely of Central United Methodist Church in Huntington was among those attending the event.
"It's exposure to not only our country, but for our city that they might know that we are serious about the movement of God," he said. "That movement of God can cause unity and hope for those that are distraught, and we can effectively touch the lives of the homeless and the alcoholic and the broken families."
Huntington Police Chief Skip Holbrook spurred a couple to shout amen when he mentioned addiction in a prayer, which also sought peace, protection and compassion for his officers.
"Bind and remove the spirit of addiction and its effects from our homes," he prayed.
The Rev. Bob Withers, a retired reporter for The Herald-Dispatch, offered a prayer for the media asking that God empower objectivity within journalists to more fairly represent the Christian faith.
Jeremy Dalton, a member of Chi Alpha Campus Ministries at Marshall University, offered a prayer for his campus and society asking God to "raise parents up to be the priest and priestesses of their house," at a time when he cited studies saying society is bringing up "the most Biblical illiterate generation of all time."
Roslyn F. Foster closed the ceremony saying it would be her last. Afterwards, she cited health issues as her reason for stepping down after eight years of organizing the event.

By: Lynette Adams
It's a story almost too hard to believe. A Naples teenager is accused of kidnapping a Florida woman and keeping her as a sex slave.
The teen could be a link to a bigger human trafficking ring.
The FBI has arrested and charged Brandon Todd, 19, with kidnapping. They say he kidnapped a woman from Florida, transported her across state lines and held her against her will as a sex slave.
Authorities say Todd held the woman at a home owned by his grandparents in Naples in Ontario County.
Monday night News10NBC paid a visit to the house on Black Lock Hill Road in Naples and tried to speak with Todd's grandparents, but when they answered the door all they would say is "no comment."
According to a federal criminal complaint against Todd, this house on Black Lock Hill Road in Naples is where he kept the woman for two and a half weeks. The woman described this house to agents.
The woman says she met Todd back in April on a bus from West Palm Beach, Florida headed to San Diego, California. She told agents she went to California to reconnect with her mother, but because she didn't have much money she allowed Todd to convince her to stay with him in a hotel the night before meeting her mother so that they could regroup.
That's when the woman says Todd turned on her and told her he would harm her and her family if she didn't do what she was told. The complaint says Todd forced the woman on a bus to Rochester.
She says when they arrived, he introduced her to his grandparents, but kept her locked in a room. The woman says Todd had sex with her several times a day and wouldn't let her out of his sight.
This is quite a detailed story, however the woman claims she became free when she faked an asthma attack and was taken to the hospital in Dansville.
The details of this story are still unfolding, and for now Todd is behind bars awaiting his next court day.

As of Friday, November 18, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
Two employees of the Henry County State Court were arrested Friday on drug charges, after they were caught in an alleged drug buy in the Judicial Center facility's parking lot, across the street from the McDonough Police Department.
Agents with the Flint Drug Circuit Task Force, and State Court Solicitor investigators conducted an undercover investigation to apprehend both female suspects. Court workers, Lisa Anthony and Kimmie Elliot, were apprehended during the undercover sting.
"Both of these ladies work in the State Court Clerk's Office," said Maj. Chad Rosborough, of the Flint Drug Circuit Task Force.
Anthony, of McDonough, is one of the clerks assigned to the courtroom of Judge James T. Chafin. She is charged with a misdemeanor, possession of marijuana less than one ounce.
Elliot, of Stockbridge, works in the Henry County Solicitor General's Office.
She is charged with the felony sale of marijuana.
"During our investigation, it was determined that Kimmie Elliot sold marijuana to Anthony in the parking lot of the State Court building," said Rosborough. The drug bust took place around 11:30 a.m., Friday morning at the Judicial Center State Court building on John Frank Ward Boulevard, in McDonough.
Elliot, 45, is accused of selling a half ounce of marijuana to Anthony, 46, according to Rosborough.
Rosborough said about three weeks ago, the office of State Court Solicitor General Chuck Spahos received complaints of State Court employees possibly being involved in drugs. Investigators from the solicitor's office contacted the Flint Drug Circuit Task Force with the complaints.
"At that time, the Flint Circuit Drug Task force started an undercover investigation, and on Friday, our agents, along with solicitor's investigators, observed two suspects in what appeared to be a drug transaction," said Maj. Rosborough. "Agents made contact with the two suspects, and approximately a half ounce of marijuana was found in Lisa Anthony's vehicle."
The alleged drug buy took place near the McDonough Police Department. McDonough Police Chief Preston Dorsey said the authorities used the city's drug-sniffing dog to search Anthony's and Elliot's cars to locate the marijuana.
"It is very unfortunate, because just like police officers, our court personnel are held to a higher standard," said Chief Dorsey. "The investigation is continuing to determine if other individuals are involved."
Anthony and Elliot were taken to the Henry County Jail. No bond has been set for Elliot. Anthony has a $1,925 bond.

Jarid Miller
I won't shed anymore tears. I had it with your lies.
I'm through being your stepping-stone. This is my
The abuse I took all those years describes the
person that you are. I let you push me to a
certain level, but now you've gone too far.
Pack up your things and go. There is no more me and
you. I said it one time before, do I need to repeat
that we're through?
Go find somebody else to mess over. Let them find
out what a person you are. You're lower than dirt...
what a fall! You use to be my star.
You want me to cry a river, but I won't give you
the satisfaction. You thought I'd never leave you.
You thought I was all talk, no action.
"You'll never find nobody better than me," you
laughed and you taunt. There is more fish in the
sea and I'll catch anyone I want.
I do not hate you. I'm a better person than that.
If it wasn't for you, then I wouldn't be where
I'm at.
So thank you for making me wiser. I will not get
depress. I will not stay angry at you nor love you
any less.
Because of you I'm stronger. I can stand the test
of time. I am taking back my life. I am taking
back what's mine.
My self-esteem you cannot have. My pride you will
not take. What you see is a changed man...I've
been redeemed this day.
Once you were my lover. You were all I was asking
for. Now you're a thing of the past and I won't
cry for you no more.

Dwight Howard had his own reasons for wanting to pay Kobe Bryant a visit in April, after the Los Angeles Lakers guard had ruptured his Achilles tendon. Whatever issues had come between the two stars, and whatever issues lie ahead, Howard knew firsthand how isolating and depressing it was to be stuck at home and confined to a bed after suffering a career-threatening injury.
A year earlier, he'd been in the same dark place. Holed up in a hotel room in Beverly Hills, Calif., after back surgery, waiting for a visitor, or even a text message, from someone -- anyone! -- to take his mind off the long road ahead. Occasionally a friend or family member came by. But none of his teammates ever did, and it hurt Howard deeply.
So the week after Bryant ruptured his Achilles, Howard and reserve guard Jodie Meeks paid Bryant a visit at his home in Newport Beach.
"He was just sitting on the couch, relaxing with his family," Meeks said. "I forget what we did. I think we watched a movie or something. It seems like a long time ago, now. But I guess it wasn't."
Meeks didn't have any of the emotional baggage associated with the visit that Howard did. Nor did he realize what a rare thing it was for any of Bryant's teammates to drive all the way to his home in Orange County, an hour south of the Lakers' practice facility in El Segundo, Calif. To Meeks, it was just a nice thing to go do. But while the details and context of it all are a bit fuzzy, one image endures. Bryant sitting on the couch, his leg immobilized, surrounded by his family. Meeks had never seen him this way. Very few have.
Meeks' image of Bryant is the same one most of us have: the snarling, uber-competitive gamer who never met an injury that could keep him out.
Weeks earlier, Bryant had badly sprained his ankle after landing on Atlanta Hawks guard Dahntay Jones' foot and played the next game in Indiana with an injury one Lakers insider estimated would keep any other player out two to three weeks. His logic? Just see what it felt like to play with an ankle that was that badly sprained.
As elite athletes go, he'd been relatively invincible.
"It seems that way," Meeks said. "But it's not."
Sitting on that couch, with his left foot in a cast, and his basketball future in question, Bryant was as vulnerable as anyone had ever seen him.
The sight was jarring.
"We all got a shot of reality with that one," Meeks said. "It's one thing to play hurt, it's another to play with [that] injury."
As Bryant prepares to make his comeback Sunday evening against the Toronto Raptors (9:30 ET on NBA TV), that's the question everyone will be wrestling with.
Can he be invincible again? Should he even try to be?
Has this experience made him stronger and smarter? If so, what will that even look like?
So much of what Bryant has been, particularly in his later years, is a symbol of resistance. Other players might get old, but he refuses to. Other men might try to stave off the effects of gravity and age, but only he has the mental toughness and discipline to be able to.

The service has changed.We waited a half an hour for our entrees,with the waiter no where in sight.When he did appear he said it was taking so long because of my wife's order of lobster.My wife explained to him that lobster does not take a half hour to cook.My steak was dry and didn't taste like an aged steak.No apologies were given.Very unprofessional.

I am not sure where the negative reviews are coming from but this is hands down best steakhouse in the city. The porterhouse is the most flavorful steak i have eve had and the service is outstanding. Expect a pricey meal, however you're paying for the quality. Great for special occassions.

My husband and I travel quite a bit and we try to explore different dining experiences wherever we go. A couple of weeks ago, I was in NYC and I've always heard of the Capital Grille but never been so we went there for an early dinner. We were nicely greated by the hostess up front and our table was ready in matter of seconds even though I could see that it was a busy night for them. Our server was excellent and was very attentive to all our needs. The food was awesome, I have not had many flavorful steaks as my filet was. My husband ordered the salmon and was very impressed of how flaky and fresh it tasted. I would absolutely go there again and would recommend it to all my friends. The prices are a little bit high, but you're paying for the quality food and the atmosphere, plus their appetizers and side portions are huge as well. Well worth it!!

Have just come from my first visit to Capital Grille and was so impressed I had to write. I was almost overwhelmed by the graciousness of the service. (Full disclosure: it was a late lunch so they were not busy.) Special kudos to our waiter, who was attentive, friendly, and helpful. He also figured out, I guess from overheard conversation, that it was my friend's birthday and offered her a desert on the house. Our filet mignon was very good and the onion rings delicious.

Don't see where these negative reviews are comin from have been here 5-6 times and has always been top notch i reccommend the 'delmonico' ribeye one of the best steaks i've had.

This is an overpriced steak house serving small portions.The steaks are fatty and served rare,regardless of how you ordered it. You will also be drinking liquids for 24 hours they saturate their steaks with salt.
Posted by anonymous on 09/08/2008
I've been going to Capital Grille for years,however this last Saturday I noticed a change.The service was slow(restaurant was empty due to a storm),the portions were much smaller and the steaks were not cooked to our order.As I said this all ocurred while the restaurant was empty,if anything the service and quality of the food should have been better because the cooks and waiters were just hanging out.

Christie touts Central Jersey, Burlington mayors backing tax cap
Posted By Michael Symons On May 27, 2010 @ 2:16 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
Another 57 mayors in six counties have been announced by Gov. Chris Christie's office as supporters of Christie's 2.5% property tax cap and larger package of reforms aimed at addressing property taxes.
That makes 138 mayors in 15 counties (with 437 municipalities, meaning roughly one-third of mayors have signed on). Christie's announcements have gone counter-clockwise starting in the New York City suburbs, west to Pennsylvania and now down through the center of the state working south — Burlington, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth and Ocean counties.
Sixty-one percent of Ocean County's mayors endorsed the plan, the highest rate among the 15 counties Christie has rolled out so far.
The list includes 54 Republicans (including some elected as independents registered as Republicans) and three Democrats — Mayor Ronald Jones of Beachwood, Mayor Wilda Diaz of Perth Amboy and Mayor Maria Fernandes of Sea Bright. That brings the overall tally to 125 Rs, 9 Ds and 4 independents.
Full list below …
Burlington County (10 of 40 municipalities)
Hunterdon County (4 of 26 municipalities)
Mercer County (3 of 13 municipalities)
Middlesex County (2 of 25 municipalities)
Monmouth County (18 of 53 municipalities)
Ocean County (20 of 33 municipalities)

Gear Review
ubiquity justified
It's with good reason you can find the Flak Jacket in the peloton up on the Col du Tourmalet, as well as perched atop foreheads in the Whole Foods produce section. It's rare enough that a frame offers a universal fit and style (sporty, without being overly aggressive) with enough engineering to satisfy the needs of a pro cyclist just as much as a pro dog walker, but the Flak Jackets deliver. They don't feel overly sporty, nor do they underperform, ensuring they're never out of place in any activity - already an easy mainstay in my collection.
* while all Flak Jacket frames are the same size (with exception to the "asian fit"), the XLJ lenses feature a slightly wider lens profile
* granted, this is an interchangeable lens system, but it's much trickier than the PIVLock or Interlock systems from Smith, or the vastly superior Switchlock tech found in the Oakley Jawbones

Sitting in my living room, I was enjoying the stillness of the fresh, new morning.
Since everyone was still in bed, I was alone with my thoughts and God. Yes, God was in the room with me. I did not see him, but he was there. I believed he was there because he said, "I am with you always," (Matthew 28:20).
My thoughts turned to the other things that were with me in the room. I felt a tickle on my sockless foot; it was an ant scampering across my skin.

The Power of Theories of Change
Improving the lives of disadvantaged populations—whether through better schools, after-school programs, or teen pregnancy prevention clinics—requires proven theories of change. The very development of a field depends on their diffusion, replication, critique, and modification. Yet some organizations refuse to articulate a theory of change and some funders think it would be intrusive to demand that they do so. The interests of all concerned are served by a developmental approach to creating and evaluating theories of change.
The fundamental tenets of strategic philanthropy are that funders and their grantees should have clear goals, strategies based on sound theories of change, and robust methods for assessing progress toward their goals. Although these ideas are gaining traction, some prominent philanthropic thinkers continue to express reservations about how they may affect the balance of power between funders and the organizations they support.
For example, former Ford Foundation president Susan Berresford...

Grey's Anatomy Death Watch: Why Lexie Grey Might Die in the Season 8 Finale
With the Grey's Anatomy Season 8 Finale (Season 8, Episode 24, "Flight") just days away, and more clues coming in about who will die, we've started seriously wondering if Lexie (Chyler Leigh) will be the one who doesn't survive the plane crash.
Warning: This post contatins updates with spoilers about the finale. Turn back now if you don't want to know!
We've already taken a closer look at why Derek (Patrick Dempsey) might not survive the finale, but judging by the newest promos, he's not the only doctor in jeopardy. Lexie definitely doesn't look so good in the aftermath of the plane crash. Here are a few reasons why Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) half-sister might be saying the long goodbye.
Lexie is disastrously injured in the plane crash. The most obvious clue that Lexie doesn't survive lies in the promos. In the most recent extended version, we see Lexie's head covered in blood as she lays on her side. Her eyes slowly close, as she appears to be stuck under some heavy wreckage. Could they be closing for good?
"Bittersweet." Last month, show creator Shonda Rhimes said that Mark (Eric Dane) and Lexie will get some satisfaction, but she also said something a bit nerve-wracking: "I think they're going to get some satisfaction … I cannot say that it's not going to be bittersweet or painful. That's all." Yikes. Knowing what we know, we're nervous that what might go down is Mark trying his hardest to save Lexie. They both exchange heartfelt, sobbing "I love you" speeches, and then her eyes close. That would definitely qualify for bittersweet and painful.
One Grey is most likely safe. Ellen Pompeo recently signed a new contract securing her role on Grey's Anatomy for the next two years, so we are 99% sure that Meredith will survive the crash. As sad as it sounds, Lexie's death could provide the impetus to get Mer on board with moving to Boston with Derek and Zola. In last week's episode (Season 8, Episode 23: "Migration"), Meredith did say that the only real connection she had to Seattle was her sister. Also, a big part of Mer's character has always been carrying on the Grey legacy. If she's the only Grey left, that puts all the pressure squarely on her shoulders, which would be a nice full-circle return to Season 1 story arcs.
Lexie's sphere of influence is relatively small. Ever since Lexie and Jackson (Jesse Williams) ended things, Lexie hasn't had much to do with other main characters on the show. Sure, she's getting along with Derek more like a brother than a minion, but her epiphany about Mark being her soulmate is a little too late. Other than that, she's Zola's babysitter. Not too many people (other than Mer) will be seriously affected if she dies.
Do you think Lexie will be the one to go? Share your theories in the comments.
UPDATE (CAUTION SPOILERS): We were onto something with this one. Lexie was indeed the doctor who died in the Season 8 finale.
Catch the season finale of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, May 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

text: John Davidson saw a defense, so he saw a chance. His instinct was accurate. The Columbus Blue Jackets have a chance to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a top-10 defense and a goalie who should be a Vezina Trophy candidate. They enter the weekend eighth in the Western Conference with 49 points, two more than the Detroit Red Wings and Dallas Stars. However, both the Red Wings and Stars have two games in hand on the Blue Jackets, who have three more games remaining and can max out at 55 points.

Margaret Nimmo Crowe provides voice for Virginia's children
How much does it cost to be a parent?
The Richmond Families Initiative (RFI) addresses community-identified needs of Richmond-area children and families through partnerships between the University of Richmond and community organizations. An issue-based program focused on children and families, RFI connects UR and community resources in order to build our region's capacity to support families and children.
Students who are interested in understanding the needs of vulnerable children and families and who would like to volunteer with organizations that address those needs are a good fit for the Richmond Families Initiative (RFI).
Depending on a student's area of interest and availability, there are multiple ways to get involved, including:
Founded in 2008, RFI is located at UR Downtown alongside the University of Richmond School of Law's Carrico Center for Pro Bono Service and the School of Continuing Studies' Partners in the Arts. Together, these programs provide multiple ways for UR faculty, staff, and students to partner in our community for social change.
OrientationFor RFI partners accepting volunteers in spring 2015, site-specific orientations are listed on their respective partner pages.
Students can apply to serve on the Richmond Families Initiative (RFI) Action Group. Action Group members support the work of the RFI staff, including planning and coordinating education and social programs and facilitating team-building among site cohorts. They are also the primary liaisons between site supervisors, other RFI volunteers, and Bonner Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) staff.
In addition to fulfilling the responsibilities of RFI volunteers, Action Group members are required to:
Any student who has served with the RFI for at least one semester is eligible to apply for the Action Group.
Students who are interested in understanding the needs of vulnerable children and families and who would like to volunteer with organizations that address those needs are a good fit for the Richmond Families Initiative (RFI).
Depending on a student's area of interest and availability, there are multiple ways to get involved, including:
Volunteers can register for the RFI at the beginning of each semester. Registered volunteers are matched with an RFI partner organization and are expected to commit at least one hour of service per week. Volunteers are encouraged to continue their service from one semester to the next, as sustained volunteers meet a critical capacity-building need for our partners.
Students in community-based learning courses engage with RFI partner organizations in fulfillment of course requirements. CBL courses help RFI partners accomplish many project-based assignments that they could otherwise not accomplish. University of Richmond students and faculty become critical resources to the non-profit agency.
Students interested in aligning their research interests with the RFI are encouraged to meet with the program manager to discuss research opportunities.
The RFI believes that students are equal partners in the partnership formula and are invited to participate in RFI programming as schedules allow. Transportation, meeting space, and other types of resources are available through the Bonner Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) and University of Richmond Downtown to maximize volunteer experiences, helping students to become better partners for the RFI network.
Community-based learning (CBL) is a rich pedagogy that integrates academic theory with community-based experiential learning. Community-based learning courses enable students to have a broad understanding and engage in problem-solving efforts for community-identified needs.
The Richmond Families Initiative (RFI) teams up with faculty members each semester to enrich their course objectives with engagement in the community.
In spring 2015, the following courses are affiliated with the RFI:
|Course Number
|Course Name
|Justice and Civil Society
|Justice and Civil Society
|Leadership on Stage & Screen
|WILL* Senior Seminar
Sustained partnerships with community organizations anchor the Richmond Families Initiative (RFI). Partners of the RFI provide volunteer opportunities to University of Richmond students throughout the academic year, helping students develop and realize their potential.
Partners stay in close communication with the RFI about their organizations' needs so that the RFI can develop ways to meet those needs. Some ways that the RFI can help include: enlisting a student researcher to bring new light to an issue, matching volunteers with a partner's program, and helping a faculty member develop a course with a community-based learning focus on the organization.
The five non-profit partners currently affiliated with the RFI are:
The RFI also partners with other University programs, like WILL* and Oliver Hill Scholars, to provide opportunities to students who are interested in volunteering with or carrying out research into the needs of Richmond's children and families.
The Richmond Families Initiative is located at UR Downtown, 626 E. Broad Street. Contact Kim Dean at (804) 955-4006 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

WVU Varsity Club is Growing
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Dale Wolfley is taking the Confucius approach to growing the WVU Varsity Club – A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Well, Wolfley is beyond his first step and is now about ready to start running.
The Wolfman is becoming known as the "reunion man" around the Coliseum. So far, Wolfley has organized team reunions for women's soccer, volleyball, men's and women's basketball with a big celebration coming up for Mountaineer football during the weekend of the Gold-Blue spring game April 29. With still more than two weeks to go, he says he has about 250 former players committed to return to campus.
"It's going to be a terrific weekend," he said.
There are certainly plenty of exciting things planned, beginning with a Thursday night reception for former football players, a luncheon Friday for retiring associate athletic director Garrett Ford, a Coaches' "Chalk Talk" Round Table event featuring ex-coaches Jim Carlen, Bobby Bowden, Frank Cignetti and Don Nehlen, a touch football game for former players, the Gold-Blue game, and then a post-game reception inside the Touchdown Terrace to conclude the evening.
"It's a celebration of WVU football," said Wolfley.
The WVU Varsity Club has been in existence since the early 1990s, but a push has been made by new Director of Athletics Oliver Luck to increase membership and get former WVU student-athletes, coaches, administrators, managers, trainers and cheerleaders more involved in the Mountaineer program. As a former WVU player, Luck understands the importance of remaining connected with his alma mater.
"When a student leaves the University so many memories involve athletics – football games, basketball games, soccer, volleyball, baseball or what have you, and I think we need to do a better job of having contact with that student or student-athlete as they leave the University," Luck explained earlier this month in a question and answer session with MSNsportsNET.com.
"It's about maintaining those relationships with teammates and coaches and having events that former players come back to and feel welcomed," said Luck.
In the past, a players' contact with their particular sport was usually through their coach or assistant coach. Now, Wolfley wants to bridge that gap and make sure the relationship extends to the entire athletic department.
"It's about bringing them back into our community," Wolfley explained. "We are a very inclusive tent being that we have former players, coaches, managers, trainers, cheerleaders and administrators. We have represented the University, the state and Mountaineer Nation. That makes it a very exclusive club. We need them to be able to come back and support their individual teams."
Wolfley noted that the benefits are two-fold. For instance, former WVU athletes can reconnect with their alma mater while also getting an opportunity to share some of their life's experiences with West Virginia's current group of student-athletes.
"When I graduated I didn't have many mentors to help guide me," he said." We're starting to put that into place now. Maybe our Varsity Club members can help them with a job when they graduate or help them down the road."
Wolfley was an offensive lineman for the Mountaineers in the late 1980s and early 1990s and he came to really appreciate his WVU experience, particularly as he grew older.
"When you are going through college it's a big time in your life. You are turning into a young man and a young woman and many things are happening," he said. "You are going away from home for the first time. These memories tend to stick with you. You go back and it's like you never left. That's why we have to take care of each other.
"The college experience is such an impressionable time period," he continued. "There are intense feelings and it plays a big impact later in life. West Virginia became a part of my DNA and a part of my soul. That's why I am back here because it was such a big part of me."
In the past, acquiring names, numbers and addresses of former WVU athletes was a monumental task. Varsity Club membership was really only as good as a coaches' rolodex. Today with the Internet and social media so popular, it has become much, much easier to locate former WVU athletes.
"We are really increasing the data base of former athletes," Wolfley noted.
The Varsity Club has a new website established to provide information on the programs and services offered to Varsity Club members, upcoming events and functions, and the ability for former student-athletes to update their personal information. A membership is just $25 with the option of also acquiring a lifetime membership.
In addition to the website, a Varsity Club Facebook page has been created that is now approaching 400 members, enabling former WVU student-athletes to keep in touch with each other.
"This is a social network but it is also a business network," he explained. "We are helping each other. It's not just the individual student-athletes."
Wolfley estimates that approximately a thousand former athletes have returned to campus for team reunions so far this year, and he only expects that number to grow in the future.
"In men's basketball we had the largest turnout we have ever had for a reunion," he said. "We had seven different decades represented for that weekend."
Wolfley said the one common theme when players return is their amazement with how much the city has changed, how much the campus has changed and how much the athletic department has changed through the years.
"I was gone for 13 years without much communication and it was one of the biggest holes in my life," he admitted.
Wolfley is also excited that a number of sponsors have come on board to help offset some of the costs involved in maintaining a club that he expects to one day top more than a thousand members.
"Cava & Banko have become major supporters of the Varsity Club," said Wolfley. "WatchTower Insurance and Flaherty Sensabaugh Bonasso, PLLC are now involved. And, Bucci, Bailey & Javins, LC is sponsoring the Coaches "Chalk Talk" Round Table event before the spring game."
A wrestling reunion will take place on Saturday and Sunday after the Gold-Blue Game, and Wolfley noted two other major events taking place next fall. Men's soccer will be commemorating its 50th anniversary with a weekend celebration, Sept. 2-4, surrounding home matches against Binghamton (coached by former Mountaineer Paul Marco) and Old Dominion. And the annual Varsity Club Weekend will take place Sept. 10 when the Mountaineers take on Norfolk State.
Wolfley says his No. 1 goal is to grow Varsity Club membership, but he also wants to continue to grow in his job as well.
"It's a fun job," he said. "The one thing I like doing is working with our alumni. The main thing is that we have to show that we care.
"And it's not just me trying to raise the Varsity Club membership. It takes a team effort, and that is our Varsity Club community," he concluded.
The journey has begun.
Former WVU student-athletes, coaches, managers, trainers and athletic department staff members can learn more about the WVU Varsity Club by emailing Dale Wolfley.
