Hi everybody.
My name is Adam. I'm a 30-year-old APBT owner out here in Chicago. This is my first time with this breed. I got my current 3 1/2 month pup name Diesel. I have had dogs for the last 12 years. I first got Nelly (a boxer/rott mix) as a pup and she is now 12 1/2. When Nelly was 3 I got Capone.. My Guy. He was a Rottweiler. 150 pounds, and we had a unreal bond. When Capone was 9.. out of nowhere he started getting sick. Within 3 days, he couldn't eat... he had to go to the vet.. Needless to say, he had some auto immune virus that was attacking his white bloods cells.
When the brought him his (wet canned food(with a treat in the middle), and didn't eat it, that it was his time. I put my guy down.. and it was very hard. I can't believer Nelly beat Capone..
About a week later my friend had a pit pup that he had no time for and asked if I would take him in.. I was grieving, but I thought this was the natural progression of life. From life comes death.. (it was too early, but he was mine already)
I got Diesel, a little to early, and he was so crazy. I just wanted life to be normal with my 2 adult dogs As cute as he is.
Diesel is fearless, loves to skateboard, doesnt mind vacuums, vet shots, lawnmowers, whatever.. Lol he's a trip.. He is half van pelt and 1/2 sorrell. Here is a vid of him starting to skateboard.
Diesel is keeping my old pal , Nelly young as ever.. , and I really appreciate her helping me out. We recently found a 20+ person dog pack at the local forest perserve, so I have been socializing the hell out of Diesel. No point in having a bad pit with no manners. He has power, but just like karate can harness it into many fun things.
My other interests include business, marketing, playing sports, playing ball, skateboarding, and anything else that keeps the heart up.
Looking forward to being an active part of the forum!

A's sign Jason Pridie to minor league deal
The A's have signed Jason Pridie to a minor league deal, Adam Rubin said on Twitter.
Last week, the Mets outrighted Pridie and Nick Evans to Triple-A Buffalo, both of whom had the option to declare free agency. Sandy Alderson told reporters yesterday that Pridie declared free agency, although he said there was a chance he could be back with the organization.
Pridie hit .231 with four home runs and 20 RBI in 208 at bats over 101 games this past season.

DWI - POTSDAM - Village police charged Eric J. Evans, 23, of Wilmington, Dela., with aggravated driving while intoxicated and ticketed him for failure to wear his seatbelt at 1:56 a.m. Sunday following a traffic stop on Maple Street.

Evans reportedly had a blood alcohol content of 0.23 percent, nearly three times the legal limit.

POTSDAM — A Potsdam justice ruled following a preliminary hearing Friday that the case of a Canton man charged with using his truck to ram a car containing his mother-in-law, wife and two children should be sent up to superior court for possible grand jury action.
Douglas A. Matthews Jr., 33, of 324 Minor Street Road, cupped his face in his hands and sobbed as he sat in bright orange jail garb listening to testimony about the incident during a preliminary hearing Wednesday in Potsdam Town Court.
He was charged with five felonies after allegedly driving alongside and then repeatedly ramming a car driven by his mother-in-law, Susan M. Latimer, 65, causing it to go off the road and overturn in a cornfield on Route 310 about a mile south of County Route 24. In the car with Ms. Latimer was Mr. Matthews's wife, Jenelle M., 33, and their two sons, Owen, 5, and Gavin, 9.
"My daughter said we were going at about 80 miles an hour and everyone started screaming," Ms. Latimer testified. "I tried to pass a vehicle in front of me, and he continued to ram my car after we passed it ... when we were on the shoulder of the road."
Witness Aram F. Gomez testified that the truck driven by Mr. Matthews landed on the car in the cornfield and that another passerby broke a window in the car to allow all passengers except Ms. Latimer, who was trapped in the wreck, to get out.
Ms. Latimer, the only person injured seriously in the crash, was rescued by first responders and flown by LifeNet helicopter to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vt. She was released from the hospital late Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Matthews is charged with the felonies of first-degree assault and four counts of first-degree reckless endangerment. Judge Samuel R. Charleson ruled there was enough evidence to present the case to the St. Lawrence County grand jury and that Mr. Matthews remain in jail on $100,000 cash bail or $200,000 bond. Mr Matthews is jailed in Franklin County because he works as a corrections officer at the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility. He was placed on unpaid leave from his job after his arrest.
Matthews is represented by attorney Richard Manning.

Idean Salehyan, Center for Comparative Immigration Studies
Introduction: There are over 14 million refugees and asylum seekers in the world today (Figure 1, U.S. Committee for Refugees 2000). These are people who have crossed national boundaries – not in search of economic opportunities – but because they fear political persecution or violence in their countries of origin. Recent conflicts in Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, and Colombia, among others, have forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes in search of safe haven elsewhere (table 1). Receiving countries, for their part, face substantial burdens when large numbers of refugees and asylum seekers turn up at their borders. Most refugee flows are between developing countries in which states facing their own political and economic hardships must provide for unexpected migrants. In more industrialized countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, political asylum has become an issue of intense debate as the number of asylum seekers rose sharply during the 1990's (Keely and Russell 1994).
This paper seeks to understand why states admit refugees and asylum seekers and why they fund international refugee aid agencies. What are the primary reasons that states engage in refugee protection efforts? While some researchers have argued that the influence of human rights and humanitarian norms have greatly impacted governmental decision making, I will argue that refugee policies have more to do with material and strategic interests than global norms.

Camby Joins Clippers
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Tue, 07/15/08, 07:25pm:
Sources told ESPN.com that the Clippers will only have to surrender a future second-round pick to acquire Camby, who is being jettisoned into the Clippers' salary-cap space vacated by Brand to generate payroll relief for the Nuggets.
A trade call with the league to approve the deal has been completed, sources said, clearing the way for the teams to announce the swap later Tuesday.
Camby, 34, is coming off a productive season in which he averaged 9.1 points, 13.1 rebounds and 3.61 blocks for the Nuggets, who won 50 games to claim the final playoff spot in what is regarded as the most competitive conference race in league history.But the Nuggets have yet to advance out of the first round with their Allen Iverson-Carmelo Anthony-Camby core and, according to sources, opted to shed the remaining two years on Camby's contract (worth nearly $15 million) to create the flexibility that could allow for more changes.
It's a good mid-term solution for the Clips. Camby can more than compensate for Brand's rebounding and blocks. He's arguably the most effective help defender in the league. Not a bad passer, either. Camby's usage dropped precipitously after Denver acquired Allen Iverson, but he's a reasonably effective scorer and has that dependable set shot from about 15. He's certainly not capable of contributing at Elton's level -- and he'll never demand a double-team -- but he doesn't have to. Side note: We posed the question a couple of years back, "is Chris Kaman secretly a power forward?" Now we might have occasion to find out.
On the salary grid, Camby's contract is favorable: $8M next season; $7.65M in 2009-2010. The Clippers essentially give up bupkis. And they still have a little money left over under the cap to do something else -- whether it's now, during the season, or next offseason...or 2010.
UPDATE: The NBA.com report on the Camby acquisition.
UPDATE: There's some confusion as to Camby's salary. Stein reports it as $10M each of the next two seasons. The reliable Hoops Hype grid shows it as $8M next season and $7.65M in 2009-2010. It's possible both are correct insofar as Camby earns $20M, but only the $8M/$7.65M count against the cap. We'll try to learn more.

GOUVERNEUR Too many people spend Christmas alone without a good meal and what they need to keep them warm and satisfied so Tina M. Mullin and friends decided to make the day a godsend.
Mrs. Mullin, who owns Mullins Restaurant on Route 11 with her husband, Daniel J., heard from a member of her church about a Christmas project in New Hampshire that gave out warm clothes, school supplies and toys along with a free holiday meal.
I just thought how fantastic that was. I see need every day, Mrs. Mullin said. I went to the local groups and organizations because they meet here at the restaurant and said, We need to put money back into our community.
People rallied to the idea. An anonymous donor gave $1,000 for school supplies. Kinney Drugs donated 250 toys. Another anonymous donor gave money for gas cards. There were personal hygiene gifts for everyone. Backpacks were filled with hats, mittens and socks, and each child received a sled and a present to unwrap.
Children were given handmade stockings filled with goodies when they came in. After they had eaten, they were given gifts appropriate to their age and gender.
Some kids have come in and were ecstatic, said Samantha M. Mullin, Mr. Mullins daughter.
The restaurant dished up a free meal of ham, turkey or roast beef, not just for the needy but for anyone who wanted to gather together for fellowship.
Its not about Mullins or the groups, Mrs. Mullin said. Its about God and its about His love. If people could see His love, the world would be a great place.
Mayor Ronald P. McDougall stopped in to see how things were going.
This is a service, he said. Interesting and very much needed.
The dinner gave Jeanne I. Tatro, Gouverneur, a chance to have a meal with her family and father-in-law, Frank G. Pushee, a resident of Kinney Nursing Home in a wheelchair. The stair lift at Mrs. Tatros home is broken, so dinner at her house with Mr. Pushee was not possible.
There is no way we could be together for Christmas without this event, Mrs. Tatro said. There were two other people sitting alone so we invited them to our table. Thats all Christmas is about to us. Its about sharing and caring and loving people.
The event added dimension to the day, said the Rev. Howard C. Maxson, pastor at Fowler Baptist Church, where Mrs. Mullin is a member.
It gives a little brightness and meaning to the season, he said.

By TERRY WILLISGuest contributor
The trouble with going on vacations is that you need to either double up on what you do before you go or do it after.
I am writing this a week ahead because of an impending trip. I hope there isn't any great breaking news that I feel the need to comment on in the meantime.
We have a lot going on right now that deserves comment. There is the war. Right or wrong there sure is a lot that people have something to say about it.
There is the controversial movie of the year, "Brokeback Mountain." Last year it was Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ." It's good we have movies that invoke discussion.
In our area there are always issues dealing with roads, wilderness and mineral development to get people going. I tend to take the side of the "greens." I am not a radical environmentalist but I grew up in an era where we celebrated earth day and decided that recycling was a good thing. I love to be outdoors and when I was growing up in Iowa we didn't have much that wasn't private land around us. I envied the farm kids who had places to run on their property. We had little patches of trees in between neighborhoods that bordered the gullies and had been left alone by developers. If we sat down we could pretend we were off in some forest away from everyone.
I grew to appreciate open land and do not take it for granted. I also grew up with an understanding of the fact that I could not have access to everywhere I wanted to go. That was just a fact of life. Many areas where fenced and marked "no trespassing." Others where bordered by private land that you couldn't cross. My childhood wasn't deprived by any means. I had it pretty good. We didn't live in a big city where concrete surrounded us at all times. But it wasn't like here.
I get frustrated by the polarization of both sides in issues dealing with land, road and mineral development. We need oil, gas and coal to continue the lifestyle we enjoy. Roads and trails are also necessary for our convenience and enjoyment.
But we also need to remember that despite the fact it seems like we have an abundance of open space, it is fragile and a limited resource.
As more and more of us want to occupy the same spaces for many different things, let's keep a respect for all views so we might find a way to get the most out of this land we call our home.

Just Kidsby Patti Smith
Staff Pick
In her memoir Just Kids, Smith chronicles her lifelong friendship with artist Robert Mapplethorpe. A gifted wordsmith, she's vividly observant and sometimes painfully self-aware, with a voice possessed not only of yearning but also of experience.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation.
Patti Smith would evolve as a poet and performer, and Robert Mapplethorpe would direct his highly provocative style toward photography. Bound in innocence and enthusiasm, they traversed the city from Coney Island to Forty-second Street, and eventually to the celebrated round table of Max's Kansas City, where the Andy Warhol contingent held court. In 1969, the pair set up camp at the Hotel Chelsea and soon entered a community of the famous and infamous — the influential artists of the day and the colorful fringe. It was a time of heightened awareness, when the worlds of poetry, rock and roll, art, and sexual politics were colliding and exploding. In this milieu, two kids made a pact to take care of each other. Scrappy, romantic, committed to create, and fueled by their mutual dreams and drives, they would prod and provide for one another during the hungry years.
Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. It serves as a salute to New York City during the late sixties and seventies and to its rich and poor, its hustlers and hellions. A true fable, it is a portrait of two young artists' ascent, a prelude to fame.
"A story of art, identity, devotion, discovery, and love, the book is [Smith's] first prose work...[it] conjures up the passionate collaboration — as lovers, friends, soul mates, and creators — that she and Mapplethorpe embarked on from the summer they met in Brooklyn in 1967." Elle
"Reading rocker Smith's account of her relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, it's hard not to believe in fate. How else to explain the chance encounter that threw them together, allowing both to blossom? Quirky and spellbinding." People, Top 10 Books of 2010
"The most enchantingly evocative memoir of funky-but-chic New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s that any alumnus has yet committed to print." Janet Maslin's top 10 books of 2010, New York Times
"Smith's beautifully crafted love letter to her friend Robert Mapplethorpe functions as a memento mori of a relationship fueled by passion for art and writing. Her elegant eulogy lays bare the chaos and the creativity so embedded in that earlier time and in Mapplethorpe's life and work." Publishers Weekly, Top Ten Books of the Year
"[Just Kids] offers a revealing account of the fears and insecurities harbored by even the most incendiary artists, as well as their capacity for reverence and tenderness." USA Today
"Smith's writing about her early days with Mapplethorpe is fervid and incantatory but never falls into incoherence." The Oregonian
"A spellbinding portrait of bohemian New York in the late 1960s and early '70s." New York Times Book Review, Paperback Row
"A revelation. In a spellbinding memoir as notable for its restraint as for its lucidity, its wit as well as its grace, Smith tells the story of how she and Robert Mapplethorpe found each other...beautifully crafted, vivid, and indelible." Booklist
"Deeply affecting...a vivid portrayal of a bygone New York that could support a countercultural artistic firmament...the power of this book comes from [Smith's] ability to recall lucid memories in straightforward prose." BookForum
"Remarkable, evocative... Just Kids is more than just a gift to [Smith's] ex-lover; it's a gift to everyone who has ever been touched by their art, and to everyone who's ever been in love. Like the best of Smith's music and Mapplethorpe's art, this book is haunting and unforgettable." NPR Boston
"Sometimes there is justice in the world. That was my first thought when I heard that Patti Smith had won the National Book Award this fall for her glorious memoir, Just Kids." Maureen Corrigan's favorite books of 2010, NPR's Fresh Air
"[Just Kids] reminds us that innocence, utopian ideals, beauty and revolt are enlightenment's guiding stars in the human journey. Her book recalls, without blinking or faltering, a collective memory — one that guides us through the present and into the future." Michael Stipe, Time magazine
"Composed of incandescent sentences more revelatory than anything from Patti Smith's poems or songs, her romantic memoir also reveals what blunt narrative instruments the earlier career bios of her and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe have been." Village Voice, Best Books of 2010 Round-Up
"A shockingly beautiful book...a classic, a romance about becoming an artist in the city, written in a spare, simple style of boyhood memoirs like Frank Conroy's Stop Time." New York Magazine
"A heartbreakingly sweet recollection of just that sort of vanished Bohemian life....Just as [Smith] stands out as an artiste in a movement based on collectivism, her singular voice gleams among rock memoirs as a work of literature." Boston Globe
"To read Just Kids is to be struck by how powerfully the two, especially Smith, believed in the power of art....Despite her music's angry clamor, despite his sometimes revolting images, Smith and Mapplethorpe retain, in her telling, a primal, childlike innocence." Dallas Morning News
"One of the best books ever written on becoming an artist....Jesus may have died for somebody's sins, but Patti Smith lives and writes and sings for all of us." Washington Post
"One of the best things I've ever read in my life." Don Imus
"Terrifically evocative and splendidly titled...the most spellbinding and diverting portrait of funky-but-chic New York in the late '60s and early '70s that any alumnus has committed to print....This enchanting book is a reminder that not all youthful vainglory is silly; sometimes it's preparation." New York Times Book Review
"More than 30 years after its release, Horses still has the power to shock and inspire young musicians to express themselves with unbridled passion. Now she brings the same raw, lyrical quality to her first book of prose." Clive Davis, Vanity Fair
"Patti Smith's memoir of her youth with Robert Mapplethorpe testifies to a rare and ferocious innocence....Just Kids is a book utterly lacking in irony or sophisticated cynicism." Salon.com
"Just Kids shows how Smith integrated the romance of her twenty-year friendship with Mapplethorpe with her historical preoccupations, elevating them to an almost sacred status. The past, for Smith, has always driven her life forward. If only we could all be so free-spirited." The Rumpus
"A moving portrait of the artist as a young woman, and a vibrant profile of Smith's onetime boyfriend and lifelong muse, Robert Mapplethorpe, who died of AIDS in 1989....Just Kids is ultimately a wonderful portal into the dawn of Smith's art." Los Angeles Times
Smith's evocative, honest, and moving coming-of-age story reveals her extraordinary relationship with artist Robert Mapplethorpe. Part romance, part elegy, Just Kids is about friendship in the truest sense, and the artist's calling.
In Just Kids, Patti Smith's first book of prose, the legendary American artist offers a never-before-seen glimpse of her remarkable relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in the epochal days of New York City and the Chelsea Hotel in the late sixties and seventies. An honest and moving story of youth and friendship, Smith brings the same unique, lyrical quality to Just Kids as she has to the rest of her formidable body of work — from her influential 1975 album Horses to her visual art and poetry.

The Best under Heaven, the Celadons of Korea
2012 Special Exhibition
The Best under Heaven, the Celadons of Korea
From October 16 to December 16, the National Museum of Korea (Director Kim Youngna) presents its 2012 Special Exhibition: The Best Under Heaven: Korean Celadon. This is the first NMK exhibition in the last 20 years to be dedicated exclusively to Goryeo celadon, since the 1989 Special Exhibition Masterpieces of Goryeo Celadon.
Research on Korea's long and distinguished ceramic tradition has advanced remarkably since the 1990s, and such research forms the foundation of this special exhibition, which outlines the origins and development of Goryeo celadon, including the creation and application of its unique inlay techniques. Furthermore, the exhibition illuminates the role, production, and circulation of celadon during the Goryeo Dynasty, as well as its relationship with other metal crafts and lacquerware.
The exhibition includes 350 intact celadon wares, which have been carefully selected from collections in Korea and abroad for their quality and significance. This unprecedented exhibition of celadon masterpieces is the largest of its kind in history, bringing together 29 of Korea's designated cultural heritage items (18 National Treasures and 11 Treasures) and two of Japan's designated important cultural assets.
The title of the exhibition comes from the book Su Jung Geum by the Song Dynasty writer Taepyeong Noin, who listed the "luminous jade-green color of Goryeo celadon" as one of the "best [things] under heaven." This reference proves that Goryeo celadon was internationally acclaimed in its day, even surpassing the ceramics of the Song Dynasty. Also, after visiting Goryeo as a Song envoy, Suh Geung (1091-1153) recorded in his book Sun Hwa Bong Sa Goryeo Dogyung that "Goryeo people refer to the bluish color of the celadon as luminous and mysterious," again demonstrating the exemplary quality and beauty of Goryeo celadon.
Rather than simply presenting the items in chronological order, the exhibition was organized in four parts to effectively and comprehensively explicate Goryeo celadon, in terms of its history, uses, inlaid technique, and masterpieces. This arrangement allows visitors to selectively view and appreciate each section from a different perspective. Also, the exhibition was carefully designed to allow visitors to enjoy the unique characteristics of celadon in three dimensions, rather than in a simple line-up.
The first part, "Origin and Development of Goryeo Celadon," explores the history of Goryeo celadon, from its birth through its peak and eventual decline. The objects are arranged by period, to help visitors easily follow the 500-year history of Goryeo celadon, starting with its origins from the import of Chinese ceramic culture, its early production in brick kilns, and later production in clay kilns. The invention of the inlaid technique and the perfection of the jade glaze marked the pinnacle of celadon production, which later declined after shipments of Inyang and Ganjimyeong celadon wares sank on the way to Gongsung.
The second part, "Celadon: A Window to Goryeo," examines the relation of celadon to Goryeo's dining culture, leisure activities, religions (Buddhism and Taoism), and burials, and also looks for the first time at the various ways celadon was used as an accessory for women. The high-quality celadon wares made in Gangjin (Jeollanam-do Province) and Buan (Jeollabuk-do Province) were mainly consumed by the royal palace and the noble class, so they offer valuable information about the daily lives of the upper class. The items range from ornate cosmetic bottles and cases for women to ordinary items like chairs, wine pots, glasses, and stationary objects. The highlights of this section include the celadon wine pot shaped like a person (National Treasure #167, National Museum of Korea) and the celadon seated arhat with dot design in iron-brown underglaze (National Treasure #173, private collection).
The third part, "Sanggam: The Essence of Goryeo Crafts," focuses on the inlaid technique that was invented in Goryeo, known as sanggam. As the dynasty's unique technique for ceramics, sanggam maximized the beauty of the design by contrasting the white and black colors of two different clays. Along with the characteristic jade glaze, the sanggam technique is representative of the extraordinary craftsmanship of Goryeo celadon. At first, the inlaid designs were just a small part of the overall production, but by the mid-12th century, the entire surface of vessels was being decorated with beautiful inlaid patterns. The works in this section emphasize the fine artistic sensibility and exquisite craftsmanship of Goryeo celadon.
The fourth part, "Defining the Best Under Heaven," presents a selection of 22 Goryeo celadon wares that are regarded as the absolute best quality in the world. These superb masterpieces epitomize the ultimate ceramic beauty achieved by Goryeo, which remains the great pride of Korea. The works are displayed in a separate room, where the gorgeous color of the celadon can be illuminated by natural sunlight. Highlights include National Treasure #60, the celadon incense burner with a lion-shaped lid, and National Treasure #61, the dragon-shaped celadon wine pot, both of which demonstrate the influence of China, and yet exemplify the distinctive artistry of Goryeo with their perfect proportion and the harmony of the colors. National Treasure #95, the celadon openwork incense burner, shows how Goryeo constantly strived to adopt elements from foreign cultures into their own highly unique and original artworks. Also of note are two of Japan's cultural assets that are being displayed in Korea for the first time: the celadon kundika shaped like nine dragons (Museum Yamato Bunkakan), and the celadon water dropper shaped like a girl (Museum of Oriental Ceramics in Osaka). Visitors may never have another chance to examine and enjoy so many outstanding Goryeo celadon vessels in one place.

The Sniping Begins
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
Let's admit it. When the Jets traded for Tim Tebow, we knew that the day would come when the Jets players would start anonymously sniping about the quarterback position … but little did we think that the bullets would be aimed at Tebow.
Everyone knew that Manish Mehta was the man to do the job of getting those quotes, and he didn't disappoint with a series of anonymous quotes from players about the quarterback position — and Tim Tebow specifically.
Here's a few from his MUST READ article in the Daily News…
The prevailing thought in the organization is that Tebow is nothing more than a gimmick.
"He's terrible," a defensive starter told the Daily News.
That player is right. He is terrible. We watched just a few practices this summer in Cortland, but it was clear that he is in fact a terrible quarterback. He's slow to release the ball, his motion is too loopy, his passes loft too high even on short passes and his passes are routinely snickered at and referred to among the press pool as "hospital balls."
He is a bad quarterback, end of story.
Of course, the barbs directed at Tebow are also meant as a backhanded endorsement of Mark Sanchez … but it's hard to say if players are just endorsing him solely because he is their best worst option … which I absolutely think is what most of the players think.
While many players were unwilling to go on the record, Matt Slauson did, to his eternal credit.
Left guard Matt Slauson, who has repeatedly supported Sanchez, made it clear that the fourth-year signal caller is the Jets' best quarterback.
"It's not even close," Slauson said. "All the other quarterbacks know it. I have all the confidence in Mark. We don't really have a choice."
When asked about the team's two other quarterbacks on the depth chart as possible alternatives — Tebow and Greg McElroy — Slauson clarified that the Jets really have only one other quarterback.
"We have Greg . . . and we have an athlete," Slauson said.
We have to think that that is exactly how Rex Ryan thinks about the situation. He has Mark Sanchez, then he has an athlete occupying his active game day roster spot that he can nominally use out of the Wildcat, then he has Greg McElroy, a player who mouthed off about the toxic environment of last year's locker room.
With that in mind, many of your readers have asked the extremely logical question, why not give Greg McElroy a chance then if they're going to move on from Sanchez? I think there's a simple and elegant logic in it, but if the Jets are chasing headlines in bringing a player like Tebow in, then they are just as afraid of the headlines if they pass him over in favor of a 7th rounder who is best known for speaking frankly about the team.
Even the non-answers about Tebow are — forgive me — damning.
But could the Jets win with Tebow as the No. 1 quarterback?
"Do I have to answer that question?" a veteran starter said, shaking his head.
The truth is that the Jets have been hoisted by their own very unstable and also highly explosive petard. The Jets have drafted poorly on offense for years, extended Sanchez's contract, courted Drew Stanton and told him he had a shot at playing and then days later probably made the exact same pitch to Tim Tebow. Mike Tannenbaum is nothing if not a slave to tropes that work the first time and to imagine a world in which Tanny didn't promise Tebow a legit shot at starting seems unthinkable. The Jets used up whatever money they might have on a bad Tebow contract and then the rest of the money on the wrong free agents and had too many holes left to realistically fill by the draft and too many late picks to make a real impact on the 2012 team.
So here they sit.
Now, their starter is faltering badly and they have no legitimate order of succession if it does to that. The Jets have put themselves into this position, now all that remains is to figure out who is going to lead them out of it, on and off the field.

Smokey's only residential area is a small trailer park. The town's population is estimated to be around twelve. The trailer park contains roughly six trailers and, if each trailer houses two residents, then the total population of the town is indeed twelve. It is not known if Smokey is a town in its own right or merely a tiny neighborhood or satellite community of nearby Las Venturas.
Due to it's very small size and lack of any real population Smokey can hardly be called a town. It exists as more of a locality or neighborhood likely policed by the Las Venturas Police Department. For this reason it might not be a true town at all but the first signs of the expansion of the sprawling urban mass of Las Venturas.
Mission Appearances
The town does not appear in any missions.
- Knife - beside a trailer in the trailer park.
Stationary Vehicles
- Random vehicles - in front of the 2 businesses.
- Hotdog - in the southern block.
- The town has 3 blocks. If looked at to the north, the street grid looks like a pistol. This is a possible reference to the town's Ammu-Nation.
- The latest version of San Andreas gives a name to the town (Smokey).

NEWPORT–With a steady drizzle making playing conditions less than ideal, the North Country 12-U baseball team quickly and efficiently disposed of Northfield 10- in four innings on Tuesday evening.
Aidan Gariepy paced the maroon and blue, blasting a three-run home run in the first for the game winning runs, and then ended the game with an RBI single in the fourth.
Much like the day before, Vermont State Cal Ripken Commissioner Bernie Gonyaw opened the day with a ceremonial first pitch.
Then North Country went to work.
Derrick Breault got the start for the home team, and he would surrender no hits in three innings on the hill.
Noah Gonthier, who we last saw going five innings against Glover in the Majors' championship game, came in for the fourth and kept the no-hitter intact, as the duo combined for the two-man no-hit outing.
On the offensive front, Gariepy's first inning jack set the pace, and the rest of the team followed suit.
Dylan Gunn went two-for-three, with a triple, a single and two runs scored.
Jacob Provost had a two-run single, and Derrick Breault was one-for-one with two walks and three runs scored.
With the win, the boys will now square off against what looks to be a very good Lake Region team on Thursday at 6:00.

We were thinking about wardrobe staples the other day, musing on why these essentials become so necessary, and suddenly it hit us. Much like Madonna, the high priestess of reinvention, these pieces gain their timeless, universal appeal through their ability to adapt and evolve with the latest trends. Today's subject-the trench coat-illustrates this point perfectly. Officially designed in 1901 by Thomas Burberry, the original trench was simple in silhouette and decidedly utilitarian in both use (a raincoat for British military officers) and material (gabardine). Since then, however, designers have updated the trench in countless ways, which explains why it's always one of the most in-demand outerwear options on the market. Currently worn by tastemakers like Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Kate Moss, this coat is still the coolest, which is exactly why we're focusing on it in today's How They Wear story. We've got a fabulous roundup of some of the best trenches available now, as well as tons of outfit ideas involving this must-have piece, so surely you'll find something that works for you!
One of the best things about the trench coat is that you can really personalize how you wear it-left casually open, buttoned all the way, knotted, or belted-plus there are a slew of chic styles to choose from too! For example, if your fashion tastes tend to be a bit laidback, you'll definitely want to look to Kate Moss and Amber Heard for some easy-to-execute styling guidance. Heard opted for a weekend-ready ensemble while running errands in Los Angeles late last month when she paired her Armani Exchange trench coat with a white lace top, vintage Levi's, and Jeffrey Campbell's Elegant Slipper with Studs ($170). Left undone, the outerwear functions as the perfect lightweight layer and neatly finishes Heard's easygoing, off-duty outfit. Moss, on the other hand, went for a more polished look out in London last year, wearing her khaki Burberry trench coat buttoned-up and with the belt knotted. Her decision to pair the jacket with slim black jeans by Craft, Tabitha Simmons' lace-up ankle booties, and a vintage black wide-brimmed hat kept her on-the-go ensemble feeling sleek and stylish-perfect for a winter stroll in the city!
While traditional trench coats, as seen on Heard and Moss, are a wardrobe essential and universally appealing, we also love styles a bit more of-the-moment too. Take, for example, the Burberry Prorsum Stretch Gabardine Trench ($3195) Lou Doillon wore in Paris early last month. The trench's orange leather trim and Doillon's Burberry Prorsum Coloured Leather Belt ($495, available here in Bright Saffron Yellow) bring a nice pop of color to the understated khaki hue, making it a great transitional piece come spring. If unconventional bright accents aren't your thing, but you'd still like to achieve that modern look, try a trench in a pale dove gray hue a la Naomi Watts, who was snapped en route to the Calvin Klein Collection S/S 12 show. To make your outfit even more au courant, take a page from Watts' stylebook and pair your pale trench with a sleek snakeskin clutch and peep-toe ankle booties for a very uptown-meets-downtown look. .
Of course, if you'd really like to push the envelope and go for a truly statement-making trench this season, look no further than Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and her cool pick. The model showed off her edgy sensibilities at the Burberry S/S 12 show when she wore the British fashion house's covetable black Leather Trench Coat ($3995). To keep the focus on her sleek outerwear, Restoin-Roitfeld accessorized with only a pair of simple black pumps. Keeping with the textured trench coat theme, we also noted that Harper's Bazaar Australia's Fashion Editor Christine Centernera has sported Burberry Prorsum's Cable Knit Trench Coat ($3995), as seen on Stockholm Street Style. The cozy fabric and crisp white color give the trench a luxurious, fashion-forward appeal that's perfect for women with sophisticated taste.
Seeing as it's never too late to invest in a trench coat, we've gathered a handful of options sure to satisfy your shopping desires! If you're searching for a classic style, we recommend checking out London Fog's Double Breasted Trench ($109) and Express' Classic Trench Coat ($138), both of which come in a traditional khaki hue, as well as Reiss' Eden Chalk Belted Trench Coat ($332), available in a cool crisp white. If you're seeking a version with modern updates a la Doillon and Watts, we love Kenneth Cole's Faux Fur Collar Trench Coat ($230)-the classic silhouette and khaki shade combined with the luxurious look of the faux fur collar is very chic indeed-and Dover's Trench Coat with Leather Sleeves ($486), which is perfect for the girl who loves a little edge! Last, but certainly not least, you definitely don't want to miss out on Calvin Klein's Double-Breasted Tweed Trench ($100), Preston & York's Leather Trench Coat ($239), or for those of you who can afford to invest a little more, Burberry Prorsum's amazing Textured Metallic Trench Coat ($1695), all of which are visually intriguing options and surefire crowd-pleasers this season!-Jessica Baker
