Scotland were beaten in a manner that is all too familiar for fans yesterday as France ran out comfortable 18-9 victors at Murrayfield in their first game of the 2010 Six Nations campaign. Two easy Mathieu Bastareaud tries and the boot of Morgan Parra ensured that the tournament favourites clinched a vital away win.
Once again the home side failed to score a solitary try which takes their run to five out of their last six international matches finishing without them having crossed the whitewash. Chris Paterson duly supplied the Scots with all their points with three penalties, further increasing his record-breaking international points tally.
Going in to the match there was an air of reserved optimism surrounding Scotland's chances in this championship, despite them having to travel away to Wales, Italy and Ireland. With head coach Andy Robinson at the helm for his first Six Nations and the team looking settled after a relatively successful Autumn Series, the nation's expectations could justifiably be raised.
Unfortunately for the fans at Murrayfield the Scotland side that took the field epitomised the age-old errors that have plagued the Scottish game for so many years; a worryingly high amount of basic handling errors and the inability to get points despite having periods of dominance in terms of both territory and possession.
Whilst the defeat is a major blow to Scotland's attempt to gain momentum the performances of certain individuals do give cause for some optimism. The back-row unit of Johnnie Beattie, John Barclay and Kelly Brown were an ever-present thorn in the French side, and put in the best physical showing from any Scottish back-row in years. Their hard work and endeavour gave the back line unusually quick ball, which allowed them to attack the French line with some force.
The Evans brothers at centre and wing, along with winger Sean Lamont always looked to attack with some considered style, and frequently broke the gain line, putting the visitors on the back foot. If the Scots are going to beat Wales at the Millennium Stadium next weekend, they will have to learn from their mistakes this weekend and provide support to the line breakers in order to maintain pressure on the opposition.
Finally Chris Cusiter turned in yet another tenacious performance from scrum-half and demonstrated that his appointment as captain was justified due to his consistent level of performance, and his ability to lead by example. After this limp defeat, it should be no surprise if we see Cusiter's club half-back partner, Dan Parks, recalled to the side in an attempt to get them to replicate their club form on the international stage.
Despite Parks having previously been banished to the international wilderness, he is the undeniably the in-form Scottish number ten at the moment, and would provide continuity between Cusiter and Glasgow team-mate Graham Morrison at inside centre. With Phil Godman constantly choosing the wrong option against the French, it is time to give Parks the second chance he deserves in a Scotland jersey.
Head coach Andy Robinson saw the positives in the match; "I thought we did get our line-breaks and some of our counter-attacking was very good. But we've got to be able to attack off that and we weren't able to get continuity, which is disappointing."
"They were very physical, they dominated the breakdown and put us under quite a bit of pressure. If we had been able to take a chance when we had the line-breaks, we could have asked some questions of them", he added.
Scotland face a short six day turnaround before their encounter at the Millenium Stadium against a side that will be hurting after a large defeat away to England. If Scotland are to avoid the wooden spoon, Robinson must banish the basic error count from the Scots' game or it could turn out to be a very long tournament.

Quote of the Day
Of Note…
Tweet of the Day
Fifteen-year old amateur Lydia Ko (@lko424) continued to amaze golf fans after her first-round 10-under 63 at the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open (@auswomensopen). Ko, who is currently ranked No. 30 in the Rolex Rankings, carded 11 birdies, three bogeys and an eagle on No. 15 to take a one-shot lead over Colombia native and fourth-year LPGA Tour member Mariajo Uribe (@MariaJoUribe).
Ko's 10-under par 63 is the best round in relation to par 73 on the LPGA Tour since 2010 when Ai Miyazato posted the same score in the first round of the Tres Marias Championship.
Uribe turned in a bogey-free card on Thursday and had seven birdies and an eagle on the par 5 6th to open her 2013 season. Rolex Rankings No. 8 Jiyai Shin (@sjy1470) posted a nine-birdie, one bogey round and trails Ko by two and 8-under par. LPGA Tour rookie Ayako Uehara of Japan, second-year member and South Korean Mi Hyang Lee and Canadian Rebecca Lee-Bentham are tied for fourth and sit three shots off the lead at 7-under.
Featured teen: Lydia Ko said she felt some nerves as soon as she saw she would be included in one of the opening-round featured groups this week. And after a bogey on her first hole on the par 4 10th, some might have assumed those nerves would get to the New Zealander throughout the day.
But the teen who seems to have ice in her veins wasn't fazed and rattled off four-consecutive birdies and an eagle on her next five holes to help her finish atop the leaderboard at 10-under par after 18 holes of play.
"I was in a really good group to start with, I was pretty nervous when I saw the draw that I was playing with two of the big names," said Ko. "But I mean the weather was beautiful, I think we all enjoyed our time out there."
Ko had the opportunity to play with world No. 1 Yani Tseng and two-time LPGA Tour winner Michelle Wie, the player she looked up to the most when she picked up the game at a young age. Although Ko outplayed Tseng in the first round, she said she was lucky to have a chance to see her brilliant on-course management.
"Yeah it was pretty inspiring, she was in the fairway bunker, or the trees and gets it out, I said to my caddie Stephen, 'that is why she is number one' (laughs)," said Ko. "Very inspiring stuff."
Ko, who has expressed her interest in attending college in the United States at some point, has said she's dreamed of studying at Stanford University. She said she was able to talk to Wie about colleges, someone who could easily give a bias opinion about the Stanford experience.
"Yeah I mean she has always been my favorite player and I've always just said hello and that's about it," said Ko. "But being able to play with her was very exciting and, and you don't get that many chances to play with the person you look up too."
Wie was the first person to high-five Ko after she carded her eagle on No. 15.
Ko's impressive play in professional events at such a young age has made even the younger players on Tour feel a bit dated. Tseng said she shared a laugh with Wie about Ko's age.
"Michelle told me that Lydia told her that she watched Michelle play when she grew up, and Michelle is like 'I'm not that old!' (laughs). So it is kind of very funny," said Tseng.
Ko may be the hottest women's player in the world at the moment and is playing for her fourth-career professional win and second in as many weeks. She won the New Zealand Women's Open last week in her home country.
Back in the swing of things: Mariajo Uribe entered her fourth year on the LPGA Tour with a carefree attitude and hunger to compete on the Golf's Global Tour. It proved to be a worthy approach after she took an entire month off of playing in the off-season.
"I went out with no expectations I just wanted to get back in the competition because we haven't played for so long," said Uribe. "But things started going well since the beginning I did two birdies on the first three holes, and I just stayed patient and things happened."
Uribe looked anything but rusty in her first round of the season, even after fitting in an eight-day vacation to Cancun, Mexico with her boyfriend and his family.
"I have been there before, but this is the first time now I'm older, since I was nine or ten," said Uribe. "It was awesome, we just swam with dolphins and scuba-dived. I love scuba diving. Just 8-days. I was going to bring my clubs but decided no golf, just holiday."
Uribe, a former U.S. Amateur Champion, played in the Aussie Open two years ago in 2011 before it was an official LPGA event, and finished T12 alongside first-round leader Lydia Ko. Uribe missed out on playing last season after failing to earn a spot at qualifying. The 22-year old is playing for her first official win, having won the unofficial HSBC Brasil Cup in 2011.
"My ball-striking is not 100% right now," said Uribe. "I wasn't really aggressive today, I was just putting really well. So I will just keep working on getting consistency on my irons and keep doing well."
Happy anniversary! While Valentine's Day stands as a day for many anniversaries, Rolex Rankings No. 1 Yani Tseng gets to celebrate an impressive milestone in her career on the holiday. February 14th marks the two-year stint Tseng has been the top-ranked player in the world. The Taiwan native passed Jiyai Shin for the top spot on a Monday in 2011 and later that week went on to win the season-opening Honda LPGA Thailand.
During the 105-week span, Tseng made 42 out of 46 cuts, had 25 top-10 finishes, recorded nine victories and earned $4,351,872.
Pumping iron: Second-year LPGA Tour member Mi Hyang Lee stands a modest 5'2" and doesn't fit the bill physically of long driver off the tee. But the South Korean knew coming into the 2013 season that she would need to gain some yards in her drives to compete on Tour this year. Lee said some off season strength training paid off and helped her to a strong start, a 7-under 66 in Thursday's first round.
"I have a trainer for the first time lifting weights," said Lee. Asked if she enjoys the new regime she said she likes the results, but the process is a challenging one. "It's hard, and tiring, but very good."
Lee has been working with South Carolina-based trainer Ken Taylor since December and said the hardest comes when Taylor loads on the weight for short reps.
Lee earned Gaelle Truet Rookie of the Year honors last season on the Symetra Tour, the LPGA's developmental tour, and averaged 248.5 yards last year. That would have ranked her 74th in average driving distance on the LPGA in 2012. She's looking forward to the extra distance this year as well as achieving some of the goals she's set out for her second year on Tour.
"I want the top 50 (on the money list)," said Lee. "So I want to play in the Korean event (KEB HanaBank Championship). I want to also play the Kraft Nabisco Championship."
Quote of the Day: Yani Tseng on playing with fifteen-year old amateur and first-round leader Lydia Ko.
"You can tell that she is very relaxed, I don't think she even knew that after 13 holes she has only made one par. Me and Michelle were going "She has only made one par! And she could shot 59 today, we are going to see history today!" but she made bogie on number 8 but was still a good day for her."
Of Note…Defending champion Jessica Korda (@JessicaKorda) chipped in from the fringe to eagle her final hole on the par 5 18th to finish with a 3-under 70…Rolex Rankings No. 19 Angela Stanford (@Angela_Stanford) had the best first-round out of the American contingent, carding a 5-under 68 and currently sits T7…Rolex Player of the Year Stacy Lewis (@Stacy_Lewis) had an up-and-down day but is within striking distance with three rounds to play. Lewis carded five birdies, three bogeys and an eagle to finish with a 4-under 69 and is currently T13
Tweet of the Day: 2013 LPGA Tour rookie Austin Ernst giving her opinion on where Lydia Ko should think about going to school. Ernst shot 4-under 69 in the first round.
"Hey @Lko424 I think if you go to school then you should choose #ballsoharduniversity with rounds like today you could get a masters!!" --@AustinErnst92
LYDIA KO, Rolex Rankings No. 30
Q What a day, every part of your golf game was on?
LYDIA KO: I was in a really good group to start with, I was pretty nervous when I saw the draw that I was playing with two of the big names, but I mean the weather was beautiful, I think we all enjoyed our time out there.
Q Can you believe the round you were having, it was quite incredible was it at one stage you must've felt like nothing could go wrong?
LYDIA KO: Yeah I mean, I didn't feel that, but at the tenth I thought what is today going to be like, and after a few birdies, I kind of settled in and yeah I felt pretty comfortable.
Q Did you dare to dream a little bit, maybe a 59 at all?
LYDIA KO: Not really because I've played good before and then gone triple par, bogie no, triple, double bogie in the last three rounds before, so I didn't really think of what I was going to shoot, I just took it one shot at a time.
Q What is your career low round?
LYDIA KO: Yeah, I shot an 8 under at the NSW Open, but this is my best score since then.
Q You're a really crafty person, but Yani is long hit out there, when you both hit driver, what kind of distance did you make?
LYDIA KO: I was nowhere near where she went, Yani and Michelle are both really long hitters, so today I was trying to think where it was going. I mean it's a tree lined golf course, so I tried to hit it as accurate as I could.
Q Was it fun out there or hard work?
LYDIA KO: Yeah it was fun out there, I mean when you hit a good round it makes it better, but Yani and Michelle, we had a few good conversations so I think that made it more enjoyable.
Q Playing with Yani, did that lift you, knowing you are playing with world number one?
LYDIA KO: Yeah it was pretty inspiring, she was in the fairway bunker, or the trees and gets it out, I said to my caddie Stephen, 'that is why she is number one' (laughs). Very inspiring stuff.
Q Did you learn anything from her today?
LYDIA KO: Well I just looked at my game. And today was a really good round for me, but I know there are many things that I still need to improve and she was pretty much faultless in my eyes.
Q Yani was saying you mentioned that you grew up watching Michelle Wie, was it a bit surreal playing with her?
LYDIA KO: Yeah I mean she has always been my favorite player and I've always just said hello and that's about it, but being able to play with her was very exciting and, and you don't get that many chances to play with the person you look up too.
Q Lydia can you please tell me a little bit about how you first started playing golf, how old you were?
LYDIA KO: I started when I was about five-and-a-half. Neither of my parents play golf, but my aunt she use to be quite a golf-a-holic so she gave me a couple of clubs and it started there.
Q Could you give us an indication on your clubs today?
LYDIA KO: My irons really only go up to my 6-iron so i've got three hybrids and two woods and then a driver. So it's not a short course out there, it makes it easier because it is getting drier and there is more roll. That is why I'm having a couple more hybrids, and because I'm playing an LPGA event.
Q On the 9th your last hole, what did you hit there?
LYDIA KO: I hit a 6-iron from 150m. I couldn't see it on the green. I was going to hit a hybrid, because I hit it over the green on the 8th so I thought I'd hit a 6-iron and see where it goes. I didn't see it til the crowd went 'ohhhh' (laughs) you know when it's really close.
Q What do you think you could learn from Michelle Wie, about moving forward?
LYDIA KO: I think she is a great player, you know, her career, doing college and playing on tour, is something I am thinking of as well. There is lots of options and seeing her career path has been pretty amazing.
Q Are you still considering a college and career?
LYDIA KO: Yeah, there are so many options. I mean I could enroll and do it later after a year of going pro, or doing it the same time, but you know, I definitely will be wanting to go to college.
Q How many offers have you gotten from American Colleges at the moment?
LYDIA KO: I'm not allowed to talk to college coaches at the moment. I can talk to them next year.
Q Has this set you up for the next round do you think?
LYDIA KO: It could go two ways, I could not have a great round tomorrow, or I could just follow up with a good round, so I mean it's quite hard to beat my round today, so hopefully I can stay consistent.
Q Could you please tell us a bit more about the eagle hole?
LYDIA KO: I hit my driver a little to the right more then I expected to but still on the fairway, then I hit a hybrid to a lay-up position and then I hit my pitching wedge.
Q Over the last 12 months you've had the advantage of having a trust fund set up to support your endeavors around the world, how much has that assisted you and what you've been able to do?
LYDIA KO: I guess, with the rules of amateur status and there are pretty strict rules and huge boundaries so I mean, we are trying to do it as easy as possible, but keeping in line and why NZ Golf has been really helpful, there has been a couple of people helping out – Sarah - I mean it gets me to places, hopefully this year I will have a few more opportunities to get over to the states, it's pretty expensive. From New Zealand, apart from Australia it takes over ten hours to get anywhere.
Q When was the last time you opened a school book?
LYDIA KO: Ah, last year (laughs) I haven't been to school yet.
Q What year are you heading into now?
LYDIA KO: I'm heading into year 12, but we go to year 13.
Q When will you head back to open a book?
LYDIA KO: Well I've got the Thailand Open next week and then the New Zealand LPGA Championship after that I will start opening books.
Q You're off in the afternoon tomorrow, how will you spend the rest of the day?
LYDIA KO: I'll be doing some practice after this, and then hopefully some cool time and relax time. I played a tournament last week it is easier to get tired at the end of the week so relaxing and having some chill time is pretty important.
Q When you go to the practice area, is there something you're going to work on now or just general stuff?
LYDIA KO: I'm just going to do pretty much a little bit of everything. I mean even if it was good today, you never know what is going to happen tomorrow because it's a new day.
Q – Did you notice the course dry out much from today and the day before?
LYDIA KO: Yeah I think so, I can see the greens are getting much faster as well.
MARIJO URIBE, Rolex Rankings No. 125
Q: Take me through the day, awesome round.
MARIOJO URIBE: I went out with no expectations I just wanted to get back in the competition because we haven't played for so long. But things started going well since the beginning I did two birdies on the first three holes, and I just stayed patient and things happened.
Q You had an eagle?
MARIOJO URIBE: Yes, on the 6th. I hit a good hybrid and I make a good putt. It was just one of those days that everything happened and you get good breaks.
Q. How long was the putt for eagle?
MARIOJO URIBE: around fifteen feet. A long one.
Q. How was your hybrid in?
MARIOJO URIBE:I think I had 220 to the pin, but I hit a 19 degrees and I hit it just on the front.
Q. How was your off-season, what was your plan coming into this year anything different?
MARIOJO URIBE: I took a month off, went to Cancun and stayed home and just enjoyed the time, and then I started practicing again around Christmas. And then I worked a lot with my physical trainer coach, this year's 30 tournaments, you have to be and stay very fit in your game, and so I just worked on that.
Q. Who did you go to Cancun with?
MARIOJO URIBE: My boyfriend and his family. I have been there before, but this is the first time now I'm older, since I was nine or ten. It was awesome, we just swam with dolphins and scuba-dived, just 8-days. No golf just holiday.
Q. Was it hard to come back to golf from that?
MARIOJO URIBE: No, it was fine. When you take a month you feel like you take too much.
Q. Had to shake some dust off?
MARIOJO URIBE: It was motivating, because you haven't played in so long, so you want to practice all the time.
Q. Did you play here last year?
MARIOJO URIBE: No I played the qualifier, and didn't make it. I was in Australia to hang out, but not play.
Q. How does it feel to have your Australian Debut?
MARIOJO URIBE: I played here two years ago before it was an LPGA event, I made a top ten. I love Australia.
Q. What are you planning for the rest of the weekend, anything you want to change or improve?
MARIOJO URIBE: No, but my ball-striking I am not 100% right now. I wasn't really aggressive today, I was just putting really well. So I will just keep working on getting consistency on my irons and keep doing well.
Q. When was the last time you were in this position after the first round?
MARIOJO URIBE: Um a long-time ago. I'm not prone to best and great first rounds. But I like it, it's great.
MI HYANG LEE, Rolex Rankings No. 399
Q: So a lot of birdies?
MI HYANG LEE: Yes, nine birdies.
Q Where do you think you played the best today?
MI HYANG LEE: Today my drive distance is long and I had a birdie on the 4th hole, par 5, so the second shot hit the green, it was too easy.
Q. Did you work on that in the off season, your driving distance?
MI HYANG LEE: Ah, Yes. I have a trainer for the first time lifting weights.
Q. Do you like it?
MI HYANG LEE: It's hard, and tiring, but very good.
Q. When did you get the trainer?
MI HYANG LEE: This past December, not too long.
Q. What is his name?
MI HYANG LEE: Ken Taylor. Based out of South Carolina where I am living now.
Q. What is the worst thing he makes you do?
MI HYANG LEE: Roof-top (bench-press) that is too heavy.
Q. Do you feel strong?
MI HYANG LEE: Yes, very.
Q. What are looking forward to coming into the season this being your first LPGA event?
MI HYANG LEE: I want the top 50. So I want to play the Korean tournaments. I want to also play the Kraft Nabisco Championship.
Q. Any other goals for this year?
MI HYANG LEE: Just top 50.
Q. What do you want to change for tomorrow?
MI HYANG LEE: Keep the same, it's good conditions. The course is really good, and good conditions for the greens.
YANI TSENG, Rolex Rankings No. 1
MODERATOR: A really great round out there today, do you feel your game is in good shape?
YANI TSENG: I mean I feel I played very solid, I didn't putt as good, but I'm pretty happy I shot 5 under for first round of the year. It's a good start. But I'm a little disappointed on my 18th which was hole 9 I made a bogie for the last hole which was a little disappointing. But 5 under is still a good day, a very solid round, but to Lydia 5 under is nothing (laughs) I mean it was very fun to watch her play golf today.
I mean she still looks fifteen, I don't know how she hit the ball that well, I didn't know, I wasn't even that close to her when I was fifteen.
It is very interesting to see her play, and I really enjoyed playing with her today too. I think she pushed me up a little bit too, at first she made birdie and I mean, I don't want to lose, I want to make birdie too, trying to keep to her, but at 9 she was on fire and I dropped back, she was on fire. But it was fun today, it pushed me to get harder and to play better and better.
Q. Is this the first time you have set eyes on her on the course?
YANI TSENG: I've seen her on T.V. Not really in person, today was my first time with her, and she hits the ball really well and her putting was incredible because I mean this green was really that easy to read.
But for her, I mean she is taking care of this green, it is kind of easy for her to read this green every putt, even when she missed she almost made it. Every putt. So for me I was struggling a little bit to read it and then the pace.
Q- Can you tell us what you said to her when you walked off?
YANI TSENG: I said great job today, it was fun to watch you play golf. We were talking out on the golf course, where she wants to go to college, what she thinks to play as an amateur in a professional tournament and is it very different and she was like "mmm pretty similar" (laughs) and I said "Ok, that's very different from me" (laughs).
You can tell that she is very relaxed, I don't think she even knows that after 13 holes she has only made one par. Me and Michelle were going "She has only made one par! And she could shot 59 today, we are going to see history today!" but she made bogie on number 8 but was still a good day for her.
Q- Forgive the Question, but did you feel like the amateur out there and her the professional?
YANI TSENG: Ah No, I don't feel anything, I mean she is still a child, she still look fifteen but the way she playing golf, she looks like a pro, so I mean I treat her like a pro, but I treat her like a child too. I feel I'm getting old. Me and Michelle, because Michelle tell me that Lydia told her that she watched Michelle play when she grow up, and Michelle is "I'm not that old!" (laughs) so it is kind of very funny.
Q – In Taiwan, how is golf, is it getting bigger?
YANI TSENG: It is getting so much better now, golf is very strong the past ten years and fifteen years, we kind of had a little gap, but now the last five years it is starting to get stronger and stronger with players on the tour, hopefully in the future we can bring more Taiwanese players on the tour on the European Tour, the LPGA Tour and to play at a bigger stage.
Q – What would you say are the top four countries for women's golf?
YANI TSENG: Korea, Japan, US and Australia I think is very strong too. I always came here to play, when I was amateur I played at the Royal Pines it was great it gave me, they gave a lot of amateur opportunity to play as a professional tournament that means a lot to me as an amateur.
Q – What were you doing golf wise when you were 15?
YANI TSENG: I remember when I was fifteen I beat Michelle Wie (laughs) but that is all I remember I know I wasn't playing this well as her. I probably wasn't even close to a 10 under, she could've shot a 12 or 13 under today. So I mean it's incredible to see so many younger generation come up to play and lots of younger player form Asia, they only fifteen, sixteen seventeen, it's incredible.

1. Dabbing Dishes! BHO's always have these around! Handy. Colorful. Unique. Fun. Take a look into a small part of The NUGGETRY Glass Collection.
2. These cool lil dishes help keep the dabs and the drips in the dish and not on your skin. Hot oil can burn like a son of a gun! So I have heard…
3. Here is the dish from a Royal set. One of a kind! There is a matching dabber and just as cool.
4. An up and close view of the glass work on this. Royal does a kick ass job on their glass work and design.
5. The center design is well done and can get you sucked into staring at it. Here is an example of a great piece of colorful glass work… even on a dabbin dish!
6. More Royal. This is from a complete oil bubbler set (Oil piece & swing, dabber and this dish). Gold fuming in the glass and boy is it stunning. This has to be one of my favorites. Pretty amazing when you have them all sitting together. Will showcase this set later on. Stay tuned.
7. The center of this one has a yellowish opaque center that is surrounded by the oh so lovely glossy black.. which accentuates the other colors. Sheep Dog doing some good work!
8. Another Sheep Dog. Similar in look and part of a oil bubbler set. This dish is a little smaller than the preview one.
9. Sheep Dog making a presence in the Dabbin' Dish section of the collection. Like he the intials are int the center of the dish!
10. This dish accompanied the Star Wars Lightsabers! Yes, seems like everyone is a fan of Star Wars. Who isnt is the question!
11. This dish is the largest of them all and has the most vibrant of colors in it. It is definitely a looker for a dabbin dish. And the dabber that rests on this is quite a colorful wand. Part of the Boro Farms Set.
12. Here are just some fun pics of all the dishes out and displayed.
13. Having fun and shooting just randomly for the creative result. Lets see how spontaneous the images look, lol!
14. See the size difference…..
15. When are placed together is makes a cool art piece!
16. The orange duo…. cool pics of both of them! Whats not to like about any of them! Especially when you see them w their family!
17. More and more… they are so many! But you can never have enough I hear!
18. 3 of my favorite… although I like them all! Hope you enjoyed the small glimpse into the collection. A colorful array and unique selection of glass which is functional for the true BHO.

It's almost embarrassing being the best in so many important rankings. You'd think Auburn would finish higher in at least one of these sometime, right?
Actuall, it's all part of the world wide ESPN conspiracy to make UA look good and keep bammers from jumping off bridges and poisoning trees
I have sat passively by the past few days trying to comprehend the tragedy that occurred in Auburn over the weekend and like most all of you, I can't find the words to express my sadness and anger. But watching and listening to how Coach Chizik has handled this most difficult situation makes me proud of him as a man and leader. He continues to impress me with each crisis that falls in his lap with more than just the words he says publicly (which many are good at), but how he brings calmness and focus when others around him are screaming and pointing fingers. Auburn is truly fortunate to have such a man leading the football program and having such a positive impact on the lives of young men. War Eagle to him and the AU Family. Our prayers are with you all.
We'll see him at AU next year following a year at Blinn. CAM will be mentoring him. Start keeping an eye on his father and it will save the NCAA a lot of money later.
Looked more like chum that's been sitting out on deck all day. Actually, they're pretty good. But don't tell anyone I said so.
That one is a keeper.
nice avie. one of my fav bands and barbers.
you decide to bring the fishing boats in for the day?
Your petty jealousy is funnier. Saban has never insisted on being the highest paid like Mack Brown or Bob Stoops. UA just recognizes what he's done and pays him accordingly. If AU did that, Chizik would be be paying back money after last year. Has any team in history got so little respect so quickly after winning the NC?
CTruth. They list them here: http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=5576324
Scout has him a 4-star but please feel free to think all the recruiting services are conspiring against AU.
At least the pampanos are.
It's 10:00 AM. Do you know where your pom is? Oh yeah, check the latest SO. 5/6 pom posts of him talking to himself. Talk about your fishing expedition......
Rush - Everything I read/hear is that the mfgs have submitted several models of helmets to the NFL that are safer than current models. The questions is why the NFL refuses to use them. Hopefully the silver lining to the Seau tragedy drives conversations that up to this point the NFL was unwilling to have.
As for the "klackers" analogy, softening the shell might help (can't hurt). But it is still basic physics. Simply a matter of the speed the brain is traveling at the time of impact and how hard it hits the inside of the skull. Same principle with seat belts. By themselves, they offer little protection above about 20 mph. It's the sudden stopping of all internal organs that kills. Air bags enhance seat belts and have been proven to save lives. But the real deterrant to reducing driving fatalites is having everyone slow down to 25 mph. And that is about as likely as the NFL slowing players down.
I liked the idea of taking all padding away from football players. Improved equipment gives players a false sense of immortality. Put enough protection on someone and they think they can't jump off a 50 story bulding without a scratch. Remove the helmets and shoulder pads and I guarantee the players won't get the same injuries. We used to play tackle football without pads on Sunday afternoons and those were some of the most competitive games you'll ever see. No one tackled with the crown of their head or even led with their head. People went for the legs and learned how to bring people down with the least amount of effort (technique). Those who didn't adapt stayed on the sidelines and kept the beer iced down.
You left out the hookers, condos, recording contracts, Apple stock and seats on the space shuttle. If you've going to make stuff up, pull out all the stops.
@dpwspringr - standing on his tippy toes, he can barely see over the stack of money he's generating for every school in the SEC, including non-contributing AU.
Did y'all have a meeting and decide that? If so, we're OK with it. The rest of the free world did.
Does anyone recall a "Heisman trophy finalist" looking so completely overwhelmed when all eyes were on him? TM is probably the least impressive "big time" player I've seen in the last 10 years. Remind me again why he was invited to NYC?
Utah = polygamists. Can twins really be that much of a stretch of the imagination? Sounds like perfect marketing to me.
"You mean the wife that was laughing and "roll tiding" when he was doing this?"
@trillion - Were you there and saw her? No, because unless you were with her in her home back in AL as it was reported (which you may have been), you did not see her. I'm sure you are one of those perfect people who has never done anything to embarrass someone foolish enough to care for you. This guy is a loser, bum, misfit, low life, gutter thug [insert any name you'd like] that deserves every thing he gets in a court of law. And unless you are privy to a yet to be published police report naming her as a co-defendant, you'd come off looking alot more human if you left her and her child out of it.

It , a cultural revolution, will not happen as it cannot happen and what and the heck culture are we talking about.
The greatest cultural shift in world did not occur with Christ or the American Revolution it occured after US became a nation and people told the original colonies to go to hell and began walking away from them.
That shift of individual freedom was not found in any colony but was possible because the land was so immense and had such a varied abundance of natural resources.
It was also possible because the technology of the times limited just how powerfull a central government could become.
The culture of that early founding by merchants eventually bordered up the people only because there was no where left to go, not as individuals that is.
Hell today we still are told that our ideas of freedom and democratic principals came from England and thosefirst founders when in truth the Englishman has always been no more than a serf and "Subject" of the state. It was the Germantic origins of confederation of individual villages and provinces run by local elected councilss but with no main power of central government over them.
That was the pattern for US town hall meetings and in fact the basis of idea of states rights.
The fight for individual freedom was quashed by the forms of monarchy and a parlimentary system whereelites ruled over the commoners,house of Lordsover House of commons, the same damn thing wr have had here since 1812.
Today you got tech till heavens gates but you got the sociatal culturaltrairs of english serfs and subjects of the state.Hide Behindhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811593327276272802.post-27508397467886617422013-01-08T23:40:32.326-08:002013-01-08T23:40:32.326-08:00"From day to day you hardly notice the govern..."From day to day you hardly notice the government" WTF I guess you don't work and therefore don't pay "income" taxes, you probably don't drive a car either and aren't preyed upon by the local revenue,I mean police officers.

The government does not tell me where to go...Bull! The government does not tell me where to go to school, what to study, where to work, how many children to have, where I may live, and what I must think.

As a socialist libertarian, I fear tyranny by both the government and private corporations, militia, etc. The state does not have a monopoly on controlling people's lives.

From day to day, I hardly notice the government.
But most people, through a system of private economic organization spend most of their waking hours in an authoritarian, totalitarian system, where you are told when to show up, when to take a break, how long your lunch can last, where to work, and when you may leave. It tells you everyday that you are in a command structure which is both centralized and total. If they no longer want you (perhaps A chinese worker can do your work for 1/10 the cost), you are gone....tossed out.

The totalitarianism of the workplace is so normal that we forget that it is, on a day to day basis, infinitely more repressive of our liberty than the government. In fact, it is most often the government which rescues us from this private tyranny, providing unemployment benefits, establishing minimal limits to how long we can work or how poorly we can be paid.

If you really are concerned with liberty, you would not pretend that the state is the worst oppresser; you would include both government overreach, which we can remedy by insisting on our rights, and the private sector, which is not accountable, cannot be voted out, and with its wealth has captured democratic government.

It is in fact the marriage of the security state and the corporations, which Mussolini defined as fascism, which is the oppressive force. Attacking government, which after all is our only source of power to take back our freedom from a fascist system ruled by the corporate elite, is part of a propaganda mirage by the real control freaks, the corporate power structure which has taken over government on many levels.

If we only attack the state, we both miss the most egregious form of tyranny, which traps us in a totalitarian system 8 hours a day, and destroy the one institution--democratic government--which can be employed to loosen or change the shackles of capitalism.

Private corporations are amoral agencies which exist for private profit. Yet the masses of people are enslaved by them, and they are then taught to aim their resentment not at the oppressive economic prisons in which most people exist, but at the one institution which has the possiblility, if it is wrenched back by the people from the ruling class, can end this tyranny.

We want our government back.

International Superstar Soccer
|International Superstar Soccer series
Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Mobile Phone, Nintendo DS, Wii, iPhone
Notable past systems:
|Release date(s)
|Annually, 1995-2003
|Single player, multiplayer (all versions)
International Superstar Soccer is the name of a series of football video games developed by Japanese company Konami, mostly by their Osaka branch, Konami Computer Entertainment Osaka (KCEO). It should not be confused with Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo's Pro Evolution Soccer series (also known as Winning Eleven), which was originally developed for the PlayStation. Titles in the ISS series appeared on Super Nintendo, Mega Drive, Nintendo 64, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube and PC formats. The series is known as Jikkyō World Soccer in Japan.
The series had its origins with the NES platform, late in 1991 with Konami Hyper Soccer, Konami's first soccer game on consoles. Although technically not a game in the series, the success of the game was enough for Konami start developing Jikkyō World Soccer: Perfect Eleven for the Japanese Super NES, released as International Superstar Soccer for the rest of the world, both in 1994. An improved version, Jikkyō World Soccer 2: Fighting Eleven (worldwide, International Superstar Soccer Deluxe) was released one year later, and saw a Mega Drive / Genesis version in 1996. These 16-bit titles, in many terms, were one step ahead from other contemporary football games, including FIFA International Soccer:
- Instead of tiny, super deformed players on pitch, player sprites had an adult look to them;
- The players looked all alike, only changing hair and skin color from team to team. ISS players had distinctive looks, corresponding to real-life players of the time: the Swedish forward Magnus, is Martin Dahlin, the Argentine Fuerte is Claudio Caniggia while Capitale is Gabriel Batistuta, the Italian Galfano is Roberto Baggio while Carboni is Ravanelli, the Mexican Goalkeeper Jorge Campos appears in the cover;[citation needed][original research?]
- This was the first football game to ever show back numbers on the jersey for each player (though the keeper's jersey always showed a number 1, independent of his assigned number);[citation needed]
- The adult look given to players made their animation quite real, instead of the rather cartoonish way shown before (like the players jumping in slow-motion in FIFA IS), thus turning playability more fluid[citation needed];
- The game was the first to feature play-by-play commentary (more frequent in the Japanese versions);[citation needed] previously, the announcer's voice could only be heard shouting "goal", and it was not present in every game.[citation needed]
In 1995, the first Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo (KCET) title, Winning Eleven was developed for the PlayStation (Goal Storm internationally) and in 1996, Jikkyō J-League: Perfect Striker made its debut on the Nintendo 64 (re-used worldwide in 1997 as International Superstar Soccer 64 with international teams instead of J-League). In 1997 and 1998 there were several titles released, including the second and third versions of Winning Eleven (which included a fully licensed release for the 1998 World Cup), but the first major in Europe since ISS Deluxe was International Superstar Soccer 98 for the Nintendo 64. It was one of the best titles for the console[citation needed], and one of the highest selling third party titles.[citation needed]
By the turn of the century, KCET's Winning Eleven titles were improving considerably over KCEO's titles[citation needed], and in 2000 ISS Pro Evolution was released worldwide. The last title for the Nintendo 64 was International Superstar Soccer 2000, based on Jikkyō J-League: Perfect Striker 2, and when ISS Pro Evolution 2 was released in 2001 and followed by the first Pro Evolution Soccer, there wasn't much room for the Jikkyou World Soccer/International Superstar Soccer series, although three ISS titles were released, the last (ISS 3, in 2003) for the first time was released for personal computers. There were also three Game Boy Advance versions, one of them based on ISS Deluxe.

Unlicensed versions[edit]
Several unlicensed hacks of International Superstar Soccer were made available in South America, especially in Brazil. All versions have poor quality portuñol, Portuguese or Spanish translations, most of international teams swapped into national clubs, and bonus teams unlocked.
Goal Storm / ISS Pro series[edit]
Pro Evolution Soccer series traces its roots to Goal Storm (also known as World Soccer Winning Eleven in Japan). The game was developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, Inc. and was released in 1996. The following 3 games in the series were also produced by KCET and they were released under the name of ISS Pro for the European market and Winning Eleven for the rest of the world.
Further notes: Although the series exists in three named forms (ISS, ISS Pro and PES), the actual gameplay of the series takes on a slightly different form. ISS Pro on the PlayStation begins a gameplay series that breaks from the original ISS formula, and ultimately doesn't end until PES6. So although PES is considered a separate branch of the series evolution, the truth of the matter is that the series was simply rebranded during the ISS Pro phase, into PES. However after PES6, the gameplay engine was scrapped and started again beginning with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. At this point many fans became disillusioned with the direction the series had taken (poor unfinished versions, gameplay had clearly stepped years backwards but graphics improved, and more options were included), and the series began to lose its place as the gem of the football simulation world to FIFA, as reviews started to drop heavily.

Jamie Langenbrunner: The First to Go
Posted on 7 Jan 2011 by Mike Luciano.
It's old news that the Devil's captain Jamie Langenbrunner has been asked to waive his no-trade clause. Langenbrunner was a healthy scratch in tonight's 4-2 loss against the Philadelphia Flyers and confirmed himself he's standing by waiting to be traded. It's obviously a sad sight to see Langenbrunner, who's been a part of the organization for almost eight seasons, have his days numbered. When ...

Kovalev back to Montreal would be a perfect fit
Posted on 6 Dec 2010 by Corey Krakower.
With Andrei Markov out for the rest of the year; the Montreal Canadiens have an additional $5.75 million to spend this season. A few weeks ago, I would have said that he smart thing to do would be to look to acquire a defenseman; someone like Kevin Bieksa or Ed Jovanovski. The problem with that plan is that Montreal's defense has been rock solid as of late. So if you're not going to add a d...

Perfect fit
Searched several sites and local retailers for best cargo box and found Backcountry.com to be the most helpful. I have a 2007 FJ Cruiser with factory Roof Rack that other retailers seemed confused about proper fit. Backcountry gave me the proper fit requirements for my FJ and the Thule 613 fit perfectly both on my FJ and in the garage. Price and shipping were also the best i could find.

By Sharon FosterAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19, 2009 A Colorado-based group is connecting deployed troops with volunteers eager to "adopt" them.
Since its inception four years ago, "Adopt a U.S. Soldier" has connected more than 100,000 servicemembers to 265,000 supportive Americans who have sent them regular care packages, wrote letters and, on occasion, run errands for family members.
"It's been such a privilege to work with this organization and see it grow to what it is today," Ann Johnson, the group's founder and chief executive officer, said. "We are committed to our soldiers. We love them. We will continue to do this work for them and their families."
Johnson started the group when her son, Paul, was stationed in Iraq. She asked her friends if they would help to support his unit. They agreed and sent nearly $3,000 of care-package items. Johnson extended her support to other deployed troops, and the program began.
Jacob Poehls,8, and his mother, Nora Hall -- both group volunteers -- were featured recently on the NBC Today Show, along with their adopted servicemember, Marine Corps Sgt. Balthazar Pineda.
Hall said it was a privilege for her son, who has a learning disability, to have a Marine pen pal. The experience has given him confidence as well as a reason to work on his reading and writing skills, she said.
Beth Ann Alitt, of Encinitas, Calif., who also has adopted several soldiers over the years, said she feels as if she is now an official "Army mom."
"Since I've started, I've met so many soldiers and their families," she said. "You adopt one. He returns home. Then you adopt another and another. You send care packages. You e-mail. You do things with their kids; you just instantly become a part of their family."
Satin Modesitt of Vero Beach, Fla., said the program establishes a lasting connection to the soldier.
"It is so rewarding when your soldier comes home," Modesitt said. "You are just so relieved. You just feel like it is your son, brother, daughter or sister. This has just been an amazing thing for my family. We have grown, along with the military families we've touched."
To join the group, volunteers can register online at the Adopt a U.S. Soldier Web site.
"We try to make the process as easy as possible," Johnson said. "The great thing about this is you can adopt more than one soldier, and many soldiers are adopted by others so you can share in your commitment."

Service members and their families work hard-on duty, at jobs inside and outside the home and at school. When it's time to play, your installation Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) program offers a huge range of activities, classes and facilities to improve your mental and physical well-being and encourage your personal development. You can work up a sweat in the fitness center, join an intramural sports team, learn how to change the oil in your car or enjoy an outing with a group of other service members and families who share your interests. Activities and programs vary depending on your installation, but wherever you are, your MWR professionals can help you and your family get involved in an activity you can all get excited about.
If you want to lose a few pounds, tone your arms and abs, or improve your cardiovascular fitness, your installation fitness center is the place to be! In rain or shine, heat and humidity, or freezing cold, you can work out in climate-controlled comfort and get both strength-training and cardiovascular workouts. Working out on modern treadmill, elliptical or stationary bike equipment also allows you to track your workout time, mileage and calories burned and to adjust the degree of difficulty to your liking.
Go it alone or work with a personal trainer to set fitness goals and develop a plan to help you meet them. For variety, sign up for a yoga, step, spin, pilates or martial arts class. To help relax tense muscles and ease stress, your fitness center may offer massage therapy. And if you have little ones who need supervision while you're logging miles on the treadmill, be sure to find out if and when child care is available or if the fitness center has a parent-child area.
In addition to the fitness center, your installation probably has many other indoor facilities and outdoor venues that let you get some fresh air while you get in shape:
Mix it up by using a combination of facilities and activities to keep your workouts fresh. Also, varying your routine and incorporating low-impact activities can help you avoid injury. For a change of scenery, you can always go off the installation on a group hike at a nearby park or on some other "exercise outing." MWR staff can provide information on locally available programs and facilities.
And remember, exercise isn't just for adults. Get your kids in on the action by asking about children and youth activities. Ft. Belvoir's SKIESUnlimited, for example, offers instructional programs (including fitness classes) for children from infancy through high-school age. Find out what your installation has to offer for your kids!
Team sports are not only a great way to stay in shape, they're also a great way to meet people and strengthen social ties with the military community on your installation. Competition can help you push yourself just a little bit harder, and being part of a team also teaches valuable lessons on what it means to sacrifice for the good of the group-lessons that translate well both to military service and military home and family life.
In addition to the usual softball, flag football and soccer teams, your installation may also have intramural horseshoes, racquetball, bowling or other team sports. Visit your MWR office to find out about registration deadlines and how to sign up. Team sports for kids are also widely available, so remember to check out opportunities for them as well. As you get fitter and faster, you might want to explore competitive runs or other fitness competitions held on or near your installation (the Marine Corps, for example, hosts a series of Marine Corps Marathon runs, including shortened events for kids). You don't have to enter to win-you can also challenge yourself to achieve a specific personal goal or new "personal best" effort.
If you can't quite picture yourself fielding a fly ball or kicking the winning goal, here's another fun way to "team up" and get fit: by taking The President's Challenge. Open to both kids and adults, you can take the President's Challenge with your spouse, your child, a group of friends or on your own if you prefer. The President's Challenge lets you choose from two distinct challenges: The Presidential Active Lifestyle Award encourages more everyday activity and better eating habits, while the Presidential Champion's Challenge is designed for those who are already active but want to "take it to the next level." You earn points by logging your activities in a free online activity tracker and then earn bronze, silver, gold or platinum awards by reaching different point totals. Visit The President's Challenge website for more information.
For service members and their families, learning a new skill has so many potential benefits-from providing a productive, soothing outlet for stress and worry to boosting self-esteem and even making or saving money. Your MWR program offers a great variety of programs suitable for family members of all ages and abilities. You could take a CPR or water safety course and learn to save a life. Auto enthusiasts might want to take advantage of the auto hobby centers that can be found on many installations. For a small fee you can rent a bay and get help learning how to do body work, change your oil or do other repairs on your vehicle. Learn to do it yourself and hold on to your money instead of giving it to a mechanic!
If you're the "crafty" type (or would like to be!), ask at your MWR program office about arts and crafts classes on your installation. You might be surprised at all the available options, like sewing, woodworking, stained glass, pottery, painting, and scrapbooking.
To up the fun factor, your installation may offer events like MacDill Air Force Base's weekly "Canvas and Cocktails," where you can learn to paint, chat it up with your friends and take home your own finished artwork at the end of the evening. Explore similar events on your own installation through contests or competitions that let you show off your skills.
If outdoor skills are more your (or your family's) speed, look into a hunter education, rock climbing, canoeing, white water rafting, paintball or similar activities. And take advantage of your equipment rental options, where, depending on your installation, you can rent everything from rock walls and kayaks to campers and moon bouncers.
The health and well-being of service members and their families is critical to family and mission readiness. Aside from that, though, you can have a blast getting in shape, picking up a new skill or hobby, and enjoying time spent with other service members and military families. For more information, check out the MWR website for your service branch:
Also, be sure to pay your installation MWR program professionals a visit. They're the experts on facilities, programs and classes on and off your installation and can get you started on the road to fitness, personal fulfillment and fun!

Waldorf Steiner toys
Pebble Pixies
We are often asked why the crochet Pixies do not have faces and this article is my attempt to explain why.
The decision not to have faces stems in part from the Waldorf Steiner concept of education. The Waldorf Steiner schools believe in a more holistic style of education with more emphasis on feeling than thinking. Teaching of reading and writing is delayed until the child is 7 while the child grows in to themselves
I am not going to go in to huge detail about Waldorf Steiner education as we are soft toy wholesalers and not teachers or psychologists, but we do like their idea of nourishing toys
Imagine the sensory experience of a toddler cuddling a rigid, hard plastic doll with synthetic hair, and then cuddling a tactile and soft cotton crochet or knitted doll. Not only is our doll more aesthetically pleasing (well we think so anyway, but then everyone knows my views on Barbie!), but its softness and warmth will also have a calming and soothing effect on a young child.
Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Waldorf education, suggested that children's playthings should be largely unformed in order to stimulate a child's imagination so Waldorf toys are often simple, without a lot of detail. The more open ended the toy the more flexible the play can be. If you have a doll with a painted on face then if you want her to be happy, excited, sad, thoughtful or grumpy this is constrained by its pre-existing expression
Waldorf dolls have minimal facial features, and sometimes no faces at all. As is the case with most aspects of Waldorf education, the reason is not arbitrary. Waldorf dolls have minimal or no faces in order to encourage the imagination of the young child—to cultivate her "inner picturing" abilities.
We don't know enough about Waldorf Steiner ethos to make many comments. However as a soft toy wholesaler we do believe in the importance of play, and we believe that knitted and crochet toys which are tactile, robust and machine washable are the perfect soft toy for babies and young children
Heres a list of Waldorf Steiner schools in UK and Ireland. If you have one near you then our knitted and crochet toys would be a perfect range to stock!
http://www.steinerwaldorf.org.uk/_listofsteinerschools.html#South East England
And to quote Plato "the most effective kind of education is that a child should play amongst lovely things."
Couldn't agree more!

O.J. Atogwe Still in Limbo As the Clock Ticks Down
Categories: Aaron Schafer, Rams
|I'm having a very hard time believing the NFL/NFLPA dispute is going to end like this, so teams are going to need to work on their contingencies.
The deadline for the NFL and the Player's Association to reach an agreement is tonight at midnight. Barring some sort of Frank Capra-sized miracle taking place today (or an extension of the deadline, which is only marginally more likely), the league is headed for a lockout.
No business will be conducted during the lockout, with the notable exception of the draft, meaning that when the chains go on the doors tonight any and all players without a team to call their own will remain free agents until the league and the union decide to come to some sort of agreement.
There's one name that stands out for the Rams as far as pending free agents, and that's Oshiomogho Atogwe. The Rams released Atogwe on the 19th of February to avoid paying him an $8 million roster bonus included in his last contract. At the time I, like plenty of others, assumed it would be a temporary separation, that Atogwe and the Rams would work out something long-term in relatively quick fashion. Now, though, it looks like that isn't going to happen, and it leaves both O.J. and the team in a potentially awkward situation.
From the player's perspective, I can't imagine Atogwe wants to go into a lockout without a job. Facing the prospect of no football is bad enough for any player, but facing the possibility of an extended work stoppage that could leave teams with almost no preparatory time for the 2011 season (whenever that season actually does begin), has to be a terrifying notion.
If the league and union cannot get together on a deal until close in toward what should be training camp, as many observers believe will be the case, there will be a mad dash to get players signed in time for the season. That's a nightmare scenario for any payer, as an unknown number of free agents will all be trying to find seats before the music stops. There will absolutely be at least a few players who end up in terrible situations when the fray clears out.
From the team's perspective, opening another hole in a team already rife with them is a hard pill to swallow. There are multiple areas of need the Rams must try to address this offseason, and with the draft slated to be the only means of player acquisition at the moment, it's going to be tough sledding trying to fill in those soft spots. Safety was well down the priority list for the Rams, as they had a very good free safety and a strong safety in Craig Dahl that is at least serviceable and usually a little better than that. Now, though, if Atogwe's return is really going to be an unknown until such time as league business resumes the Rams may need to bump safety up the list a fair bit.
That's not to say there aren't options on the roster already. Darian Stewart, signed by the Rams as an undrafted free agent last year the day after the draft, received some high praise from GM Billy Devaney in a chat he did with Jim Thomas recently, I agree Stewart looked pretty good at times last season, and he could have some upside, but I don't know that I agree with an undrafted free agent with one year of pro experience as Plan A.
So that leaves the draft. This year looks to be an extremely weak safety class, putting the Rams further behind the eight ball if they end up needing to try and fill the position. Adding safety to the list of positions the Rams need to try and find a player for may just be asking too much.
I'm just not sure the Rams are going to be able to come up with a good strategy to fill the free safety position if O.J. Atogwe remains unsigned. I understood the decision to release him, as the $8 million bonus was always seen as a bit of a poison pill built into the deal from the very beginning. Oshiomogho Atogwe is a very nice football player who is still young enough to have some good days ahead of him. He is not, however, worth almost $12 million in a single season. So, releasing him made some sense.
Now, though, the Rams may have worked themselves into a bit of a corner with Atogwe. The best option on the roster has one year of NFL experience, free agency looks like it won't be coming until sometime in the fall, and the Rams simply don't have enough draft picks to fill every need they have. If ever there was a time to get a deal done with a player, that time is now and that player is O.J. Atogwe.

The Department of Environmental Protection today announced the grand opening of the new Centenary College Environmental Science Center at the DEP's Charles O. Hayford Fish Hatchery in Hackettstown, which will serve as an experimental learning facility for the school's environmental studies curriculum.
"We look forward to a long and successful collaboration with Centenary College and its students, who may be future environmental leaders here in New Jersey,'' said DEP Commissioner Bob Martin. "This also is a continuation of partnerships and education and research exchanges we have with many colleges and universities in our state, which benefits the DEP, the students and the people of New Jersey.''
"This is a win-win experience for all involved and will provide students in our newly launched Environmental Science program with state-of-the-art resources where they can gain valuable hands-on experience," said Centenary College President Dr. Barbara-Jayne Lewthwaite.
Centenary College's Environmental Science major focuses on the relationship between the environment and our daily lives, with particular emphasis on environmental quality, stewardship of the land, human health and how local actions impact the global community.
