• Overall: Anywhere from five to eight 3-4 outside linebackers could go in the first round, but with the ever-increasing emphasis on smaller outside pass rushers in the spread-offense college game, there often are some quality lesser-known prospects in the middle and later rounds as well.
• Top prospect: Texas A&Ms Von Miller led the nation in sacks two years ago and though on the smallish side can turn the corner with the best of them.
• Packers outlook: This is perhaps the lone position where a high-round pick would be a good bet to start immediately for the Packers. Their top returnees opposite Clay Matthews are Brad Jones, who missed most of last season because of a shoulder injury, and Frank Zombo and Erik Walden, who combined to play well enough to help the Packers win the Super Bowl. Inside linebacker rates low on the priority list, where the Packers are salary-heavy with A.J. Hawk and Desmond Bishop having signed new contracts, and either Brandon Chillar or Nick Barnett will probably have to go because of budget concerns.
• Rising star: Aldon Smith played for a shaky defense at Missouri but zoomed up draft boards because of his pass-rush potential after surprisingly declaring as an early entry.
• Falling star: Pittsburghs Greg Romeus started the college season as a potential top prospect, but a disc injury early in his senior season and torn ACL late moved him to a mid-round prospect at best.
• Sleeper: Marc Schiechl from little-known Colorado School of Mines is the Division II all-time sacks leader (46), has good enough size (6-2½, 251), and tested well for an outside linebacker at a campus workout (4.64 seconds in the 40, 35-inch vertical jump, 10-5 broad jump and 38 bench-press reps). Hes a late-round prospect.
• Wisconsin ties: Central Michigan ILB Nick Bellore ( Whitefish Bay); Winona State ILB Cody Dummer (Waterford); UW outside linebacker Blake Sorenson; UW inside linebacker Culmer St. Jean.
Yes, the Packers won the Super Bowl with undrafted rookie Frank Zombo and street free agent Erik Walden sharing time at right outside linebacker the second half of the season and the playoffs.
But considering how crucial that playmaking position is in defensive coordinator Dom Capers 3-4 scheme, its a good bet General Manager Ted Thompson is open to trying to upgrade the talent opposite Clay Matthews with a high draft pick.
Drafting at No. 32 overall in the first round means the highest-rated outside rushers will be gone, but there still could be multiple prospects of interest to the Packers when its their turn to select.
UCLAs Akeem Ayers, Georgias Justin Houston and Arizonas Brooks Reed could be available at No. 32 overall. Teams grades vary on them, though Ayers might be the most ready for the 3-4 because in college he played in all the various roles (coverage, the point of attack, outside pass rusher) the Packers ask of their outside linebackers.
He fits exactly what theyre doing up there (in Green Bay), one NFL scout said recently. When you watch (Ayers) on tape, hes a big man that can move. His (4.28-second short) shuttle showed he has some change in direction and balance and some acceleration in short areas.
I think hell be fine (in the 3-4). If you want him to guard a running back all the way down the field 40 yards, then you might be in trouble. But coming off that edge, rushing the passer, doing what they do up there, I think hell be good.
The Packers need isnt desperate, because they also have third-year pro Brad Jones returning. He was the starter opposite Matthews the second half of 2009 and opened there last year before a shoulder injury ended his season in October.
But if Thompson selects an outside linebacker in the first round or two, theres a good chance that player will be a starter, depending in part on whether the lockout cancels some or all of training camp.
Five prospects as 3-4 outside linebackers figure to be gone by the time the Packers select: Texas A&Ms Von Miller probably is a top-five pick; Clemsons DaQuan Bowers (knee) and North Carolinas Robert Quinn (benign brain tumor) appear to be top 15 to 20 picks despite medical concerns; Missouris Aldon Smith is a surefire top-20 pick; and Purdues high-motor Ryan Kerrigan appears likely to go somewhere from the late teens to the late 20s of the first round.
Whereas Ayers physical testing wasnt impressive for a late first-round prospect, Houstons was. Though Houston is bigger than Ayers (270 pounds to 254), he ran faster (4.62 seconds to Ayers 4.81 in the 40) at the NFL scouting combine and was markedly better in four of the five other most important tests: bench press (30 reps to 18), vertical jump (36½ inches to 31 inches), broad jump (10-feet-5 to 9-8) and the three-cone drill (6.95 seconds to 7.49 seconds). Ayers was better only on the short shuttle (4.28 seconds to 4.37 seconds).
But some scouts think Houston tests better than he plays and question his instincts for the demanding role of a 3-4 outside linebacker in Capers scheme.
When asked if Houston is in fact instinctive enough, one scout paused for several seconds before answering.
I think hes instinctive enough to get it done out there, he said. I like his size, I like the way he runs and hits, hes violent. Some people are trying to stack him in a 4-3 (as an end) because of his size. He can play in that (3-4) defense, theres no question. I actually have Houston a little bit ahead of (Ayers).
Reed is the wild card of the three. Some scouts see him as an overachiever who is close to maxed out physically, a player that shouldnt be drafted until the third round. But others see a savvy, productive player who should go at the bottom of the first round or early in the second because hes a little more athletic than he appears and has the versatile skills needed of a 3-4 outside linebacker, or to play for a team that uses both a 3-4 and a 4-3 in its weekly game plans.
I really liked (Reed), hes a perfect fit for what New England does (in its 3-4), another scout said. They like a guy that can rush the passer but (also) can do a lot of different things, can play a lot of different schemes, can play on the end, can stand up. I think Brooks Reed is a very good football player.
Rating the top outside linebackers
1. Von Miller, Texas A&M, 6-2 5/8, 246, Round 1: A pass-rushing machine who might be among the first five picks and in the last two years had 39 tackles for a loss and 27½ sacks. Looks like it to me, one scout said when asked if Miller is the best pass rusher in this draft. You talk about somebody that can run low and corner and all that, wow, hes special now. Led the nation with 17 sacks as a junior, then last year suffered a sprained ankle in the opener that cut his production. Can be a 3-4 outside linebacker or 4-3 rush end. Not stout but extremely explosive. Blew away the 40 in 4.42 seconds, which tied for best among linebackers at the NFL scouting combine, also tied for the best three-cone drill (6.70 seconds) and had the second-best vertical (37 inches) of the linebackers. If somebody like the Packers had him on the other side (of Clay Matthews), that would be like unbelievable, said a scout for a team that runs a 4-3 defense. Hell be top 10 for sure. He can play for anybody. Id take him and play him at defensive end and let him stand up.
2. Aldon Smith, Missouri, 6-4¼, 263, Round 1: Entering the draft after his redshirt sophomore season, has moved up the charts as teams have scrutinized his play for a mediocre Missouri defense. Im in love with him, one scout said. He doesnt play hard, hes the opposite of reckless. But hes got some instincts, pass-rush stuff thats off the charts, freak show, hes just got it. Hes got a built-in GPS, he takes short cuts to the ball, he never looks at a blocker. Hes special. For a guy that only played two years? Oh lord. Was Big 12 Conference freshman of the year in 09 (19 tackles for a loss, 11½ sacks), then last season missed three games because of a broken fibula. Limped through a couple games after his return, saw his production drop to 10 tackles for a loss and 5½ sacks. Tested only OK (4.74 seconds in the 40, 34-inch vertical) for his apparent talents, also young and immature, which could limit his success early in his career. But has major potential in some scouts eyes and won extra points by returning quickly from his broken leg. He has outstanding pass-rush ability, a second scout said. If you go back and look at his freshman year, hes a premier rusher, Im talking about top-level rush skills on a very young frame, this is a young kid thats (263) pounds. He plays much faster on the field than he does in his 40. Hes long, hes rangy, hes got a great nose for the ball whether its sacking the quarterback, tipped passes, chasing down run plays. I mean, this guys tougher than (crap).
3. Robert Quinn, North Carolina, 6-4, 265, Round 1: Talented junior whos difficult to grade because of a medical issue and year off football last season. Was ruled permanently ineligible by the NCAA and missed all last year for taking improper benefits from an agent but is considered more of a follower than leader and not a big character risk. However, when he was a senior in high school he had a brain tumor that caused swelling in his brain, which required surgery. The tumor was benign, remains in his head and is re-examined every six months. He can turn a corner, Id give him a 10 on cornering, one scout said. Fluid running low to the ground, all that real stuff. Hes remarkable at that. But he plays like a chicken (expletive), afraid of piles. He doesnt play hard. But he had a brain tumor. I wouldnt stick how do you think he feels sticking his head in a pile with a brain tumor? As a sophomore had 19 tackles for a loss and 11 sacks as a defensive end. Looked agile enough in offseason workouts to play 3-4 outside linebacker though hes not a natural in coverage. Tested well but not great (4.62 40, 34-inch vertical). Not nearly in the class of former North Carolina defensive end Julius Peppers. His production comes off non-competitive competition, another scout said. Its selective, its not dominant. When I went and watched Julius Peppers, it was like, Whoa, OK. Robert Quinn is not Julius Peppers, hes not the athlete Julius was. But what really concerns me is the benign brain tumor. Ive never ever heard of a guy getting drafted in the first round with a brain tumor. That worries me.
4. DaQuan Bowers, Clemson, 6-3 3/8, 280, Round 1: Junior entry might have been in the running for the top choice overall if not for a knee injury that required arthroscopic surgery in the offseason. Is a medical red flag because some teams think the knee will require microfracture surgery, which can be hit or miss. There are some saying youre going to get a contract and a half out of the guy, and then theres going to be some issues, a scout said. Others are saying the guy played hurt, was extremely productive, and he got a cleanup. Its going to take him a little time to get back in shape, but you know what? Youre still getting a good football player. Had a monster season in 10 with 26 tackles for a loss and 15½ sacks, then had surgery in January to repair torn meniscus cartilage in his knee. Wasnt fully recovered when he finally worked out for scouts April 1, ran the 40 in just under 4.9 seconds and had a 34½-inch vertical jump. Because of his size fits best as a 4-3 end but looked athletic enough to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 even at 280 pounds. A lot of speed rushers when you bring em inside (on stunts) theyre not real big about getting into the tall trees, they stop, a scout said. This guy gets vertical. He outworks people. Two things were most impressive: how fast he gets on the edge, and then No. 2 is his work, hes relentless. You might block him, but he aint stopping, hes going to keep going until he gets to your quarterback. Thats the hard thing to teach young guys.
5. Ryan Kerrigan, Purdue, 6-3 7/8, 267, Round 1: Only an OK tester for a first-round prospect but made too many plays to dismiss as only a try-hard player. He plays fast, and the whole thing is hes so dang productive, all those forced fumbles and all that, a scout said. I think he would buy into (your coaching), hes the kind of guy that would buy into all that stuff. I think hell be a good player, I think youll be proud to have him on your football team. In his three years as a starter had 55 tackles for a loss and 32½ sacks and tied the Football Bowl Series record with 14 fumbles forced in his career. Played defensive end for Purdue but appears athletic enough for a 3-4 outside linebacker. Ran the 40 in 4.67 seconds at the combine and had a 33½-inch vertical. Probably will go between picks 15 and 25. Great kid, works his (butt) off, a second scout said. Wherever he goes, if he gets in the right system hell be a good player. I dont know if hell ever get in the Pro Bowl, but hell be a good player.
6. Akeem Ayers, UCLA, 6-2½, 254, Rounds 1/2: Junior entry who didnt put up big numbers on the field or testing, but shows versatility to play the run and rush the passer. Ayers can play all over the place, one scout said. He played on the right side, he played on the left side. He rushed as a four-down lineman on the end, played as a strong outside linebacker. He was always around the ball, really good football player. In two seasons as a starter had 24½ tackles for a loss and 10 sacks, including a pedestrian-looking four sacks as a senior. Performed poorly in tests at the combine (4.81 seconds in the 40, 31-inch vertical), knocked his 40 down to 4.69 seconds at his campus workout. Impressive on the hoof, but some scouts are wary of his toughness, a common complaint of players from UCLA. Hes not an overly explosive dude, but hes a really good athlete, another scout said. He can rush the passer, he can play outside linebacker. Hes not an explosive point-of-attack-player, hes a little more finesse. But hes very athletic, he can rush, he can drop, he can do a lot of stuff. I just dont know if hes a (butt) kicker. But we might be beating him up too much because of the UCLA thing.
7. Justin Houston, Georgia, 6-2 7/8, 270, Rounds 1/2: Junior entry who tests great and shows pass-rush ability. Played defensive end in college and will have to drop a few pounds to play linebacker in a 3-4. Only thing with Justin is, he was 270 pounds at the combine, a scout said. Is that the weight hes going to stay at? Thats a big rush outside linebacker. He looks like he could be in that 255, 260 range pretty easily. Hes got natural pass-rush ability, bend around the corner. Hes had really good production in the SEC. He can be a standup outside linebacker as well. I do like him. In two seasons as a starter had 33½ tackles for a loss and 17½ sacks. Ran the 40 in 4.62 seconds and had a 36½-inch vertical at the combine while carrying 270 pounds. Was suspended for two games in 09 for violating Georgias substance-abuse policy. Real inconsistent, another scout said. You can find stuff where hes dominating, you can find times where he totally disappears. Looks like effort (shortcoming) to me. Ran the 40 in 4.62 seconds and had a 36 ½-inch vertical at the combine while carrying 270 pounds.
8. Brooks Reed, Arizona, 6-2½, 263, Rounds 1/2: A high achiever whos considered a late first-round prospect by some and a third-rounder by others. A lot of people like him though, a lot of people are talking about the guy, said a scout who had a later second-round grade on Reed. I saw a good athlete that runs, good production on tape. Hes a collision tackler, thats what you want, and he has the ability to play in space. He has a chance. Moved from H-back to defensive end after his redshirt freshman season. In three seasons as a starter had 24½ tackles for a loss and 16½ sacks, though his junior season was diminished by a sprained ankle. Had 10 and 6½ last season. Surprised at the combine with a 4.65-second 40, and put up an impressive 30 bench-press reps. I say (hes an) overachiever, but his workout numbers were pretty good, a second scout said. I think hes about as good as hes going to get. Hes a good effort player with some nice pass-rush ability, plays the run pretty solid. A nice all-around player. I dont think hes special, I think his workout numbers are a little juiced up I dont mean juiced steroids, I mean as pumped up (from practicing them) as theyre going to get.
9. Jabaal Sheard, Pittsburgh, 6-2 7/8, 264, Round 2: Defensive player of the year in the Big East Conference last season, projects better to 3-4 outside linebacker than 4-3 defensive end even though he played the latter in college. I did (like him) and I didnt, a scout said. I could see him go in the third round. He just doesnt want to play the run, he really wants to be a linebacker. Put up solid numbers in three years as a starter (35½ tackles for a loss, 19½ sacks) and produced last year (14½ and nine) while playing through injuries to his elbow and thumb. Not a great athlete (4.68-second 40, 31-inch vertical) but isnt bad and has some intangibles. Was arrested last summer for throwing a man through a glass door, pled guilty to disorderly conduct, and served an offseason suspension. Hes a good effort player, plays tough, another scout said. He could probably be a standup rush guy. Hes got some natural pass-rush ability and hes tough.
10. Dontay Moch, Nevada, 6-1 3/8, 248, Rounds 2/3: Slightly undersized prospect with exceptional speed. Hes got speed and speed and speed, a scout said. He plays football pretty well too. A 3-4 team is really going to be interested in Dontay because of the flat-out ability to run and chase. He can run like nobody, really can. (That speed) shows up in his play, which is very intriguing. Put up good playmaking numbers as a three-year starter at defensive end with 59½ tackles for a loss, 26½ sacks. Had 22 and 8½ last season. Blew away the physical testing with a 4.42-second 40, 42-inch vertical jump and 10-8 broad jump, all bests among defensive ends and linebackers at the combine. Hes a flat-out athlete, another scout said. Hes going to contribute on special teams right away, he likes to run and hit. He likes to deliver. Hes got good rap and speed. Some people might say hes a better athlete than football player, but not when you turn the film on, you see him making some plays. I really like him. I like his athleticism, and this guy is fast.
Rating the top inside linebackers
1. Martez Wilson, Illinois, 6-3¾, 250, Round 2: Junior entry and three-year starter with an Adonis physique and some explosiveness. Might be able to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 but fits better on the inside in that scheme or any of the three spots in a 4-3. Was a medical redshirt in 09 because of a disc injury in his neck that ended his season after the first game. Last year had 112 tackles, 11½ tackles for a loss, four sacks and three fumbles forced. Blazed the 40 in 4.42 seconds at the combine. Could be an excellent blitzer. I loved his size, his ability to get to the ball, a scout said. He can run and hit, he likes to play in space. When he drops back hes very aware in space. He has a good nose for the ball, good eyes, and he has the size youre looking for. His Pro Day, the guys drill work was exceptional.
2. Bruce Carter, North Carolina, 6-1½, 241, Round 2: Four-year starter probably would have been a first-round prospect if not for a torn ACL last November, which means he wont be able to work out for scouts before the draft and might not be ready to play at the start of the season. In his career had 24 tackles for a loss and 9½ sacks. A big-time athlete who plays fast. If this guy gets healthy again, hes a Pro Bowl-type football player, he really is, a scout said. Very instinctive. Great eyes, he can sift and find the ball in the traffic, hes more of a slip and dodge guy when it comes to taking on offensive linemen, thats what theyre teaching now, its not a negative for me. Another scout, though, questioned Carters instincts: I dont think hes a natural football player. When he sees something and knows where hes going, he goes very quickly and gets there in a bad mood. At other teams he sees things and hes not sure and he just floats. You cant play as a linebacker in the NFL if youre not sure, youre going to get killed.
3. Quan Sturdivant, North Carolina, 6-1, 241, Rounds 3/4: The lesser talented of North Carolinas strong linebacker duo. Full-time starter his final three seasons who had 262 tackles, 26 tackles for a loss and six sacks in that time. Not the athlete Carter is, ran the 40 in an OK 4.65 seconds at his campus workout after sitting out most of the combine testing because of a hamstring injury. Did 21 bench-press reps and had a 34-inch vertical jump. Arrested for misdemeanor possession of less than a half-ounce of marijuana last summer, charges were dismissed when he reached a deferred prosecution agreement. Scouts like his instincts and leadership skills. I like Sturdivant, but I like Carter much better, a scout said. Sturdivant is going to be good, this guys going to be really good. Theres not a lot of middle linebackers.
4. Colin McCarthy, 6-1 3/8, 238, Rounds 3/4: Undersized go-getter who became a starter as a sophomore and missed half his junior season because of a shoulder injury. Last year had 119 tackles, 10½ tackles for a loss and a sack. Played well at the Senior Bowl, scores high as a leader. Tested well (4.59 seconds in the 40, 36½-inch vertical) but doesnt play like that type of athlete. Overachiever, a scout said. Tough kid. Sometimes I wonder what hes looking at. He gambles, he freelances at times. Hes the stack backer and the guard is pulling to the right and hes going to the left, I dont know what hes looking at sometimes. But when he attacks things hes going to get there. Hes not very good in man coverage. He couldnt cover anybody, thats a limitation. But he was better this year and healthy for the first time.
5. Nate Irving, North Carolina State, 6-1, 240, Rounds 4/5: Missed the 09 season after a devastating, life-threatening car accident, came back with a strong second half last year. Among other injuries, broke his leg in two places and suffered a collapsed lung after falling asleep at the wheel and crashing his car in the summer of 09. Two-year starter had 92 tackles and 22½ tackles for a loss last year, and showed excellent blitz ability (seven sacks) as the season wore on. Was only OK in physical testing (4.76 in the 40, 32½-inch vertical), but showed some strength in bench press (27 reps). Was more committed to academics and football after the accident and also emerged as a leader. The leg is not a problem that he broke in the accident, a scout said. His liability is going to be in pass coverage, hes not an instinctive pass guy, hes attack the line of scrimmage and blitz him. He led the team in sacks, and hes very instinctive, he sees things, and when he sees them he has the ability to snap the picture and go there quickly.

Dear Rev. Graham: I think I heard somewhere that Satan was originally an angel. But if that's true, is he still an angel, or what happened to him? Or is Satan just an idea that people dreamed up to explain the existence of evil? -- R.N.
Rev. Graham: No, Satan is not imaginary; he isn't something people dreamed up just to try to explain the existence of evil. Satan is real, and the Bible makes it clear that he is a powerful (and evil) spiritual being who is absolutely opposed to God and His goodness.
The Bible doesn't give us a detailed account of Satan's origin but it does indicate that Satan originally was one of God's angels, created by Him to carry out His will. But apparently Satan became filled with jealousy and pride, and he decided that he would lead a rebellion against God so he could take God's place as the ruler of all creation. The Bible says, "You said in your heart... 'I will make myself like the Most High'" (Isaiah 14:13-14).
But Satan's rebellion failed, and he was cast out of heaven. Now Satan and those who followed him are fallen angels -- no longer part of God's heavenly army, but separated from heaven's glory forever. He still is powerful, however, and he still does everything he can to block God's plan for our lives. Don't be deceived; Satan is your enemy, and he will do everything he can to keep you from God.
The greatest truth about Satan, however, is this: he is a defeated foe! By His death and resurrection Jesus Christ conquered the forces of sin and death and Hell and Satan. Are you on Christ's side? Make sure, by turning to Christ in repentance and faith, and committing your life to Him for your salvation.

Here's How Not To Give Advice
For starters, there are certain topics we should all just steer clear of completely. Anything having to do with parenting is always a no-no; even if you've got a brood of your own, it truly is different for every family. The same goes for telling your pregnant friends what to eat, what to drink, or how to cope. In fact, we should all avoid the topic of food in general — especially if you're tempted to praise the benefits of juicing to your deskmate as she tosses back a burger.
The experts at Glo also gave us a few key phrases to shy away from. If your friend is eyeing a new apartment? "I would never live in an area like that" should probably never leave your lips. The same goes for telling your single sister, "Maybe if you put a little more effort into your appearance and got out more, then you'd meet someone." Ouch.

For Mike Anderson, it's just another SEC game, yet unlike any SEC game or any game than he's ever coached.
Arkansas' second-year head coach and 1985-2002 an Arkansas assistant coach, faces the Missouri Tigers on Saturday afternoon at Walton Arena. It will be the first time Anderson faces his former team, whose two stars, Phil Pressey and Laurence Bowers, he coached during his 2006-2011 tenure as Mizzou's head coach before Arkansas called him home.
Actually, Anderson knew both Pressey and Bowers long before his Mizzou days. Phil Pressey is the son of his college roommate, Paul Pressey, when ...

It wasn't his best, but it was still entertaining. I wasn't a fan of Arte Johnson. Every accent he did sounded the same.
It kept my attention, but it really had no redeeming qualities. Funny?... maybe.
Don't go out of your way to see this. It might entertain you if you are stuck on a plane.
This movie had no plot and seemed to drag on for hours. Avoid!
The narrator's voice, combined with some of the bizarre things that President Johnson said, gave this some creepy moments. But overall, it was quite insightful!

Why yes, this cover song is much better.
Mike in sports insisted I listen to this van jam by Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers playing "I Can't Go For That," by Hall and Oates.
Mike picked up the tune from Paul Allen and his morning radio show on KFAN.
This morning while getting ready for work I had the urge to hear it again.
Now I have the urge to share it with those brave enough to visit this blog.
If you enjoy, pass this beauty on.

Colin Pennington, of Bideford Blues, is the new president of the West of England Amateur Rowing Association.
He takes over from Exeter's Nigel Wilmington and is the first Blues man to lead Weara since John Daniels in 2001.
Colin, 58, has been a member of the Blues for more then 47 years and still intends to compete regularly with crew-mates Nigel Cann, Steve Clements and his brother Neil.
He has been a prolific winner, including a South Coast Championship medal in 1992 and, most recently, being part of the Weara Championship veterans crew.
A highlight of his term at the helm will be the President's Dinner and Prizegiving at the Durrant House Hotel in Northam on October 11.

Tim Tebow man without a team?
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 01/11/2013 @ 1:19 pm In Diversions,Front Page | No Comments
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Once the Jets' season wrapped up in disappointing fashion against the Buffalo Bills, it seemed almost certain that it was the last time Tim Tebow would ever wear the Jets' colors.
It turns out that might not be so.
As the season progressed, and Tebow's playing time continued to be limited, reports came out that the Jets would release or trade Tebow in the offseason. Reports then indicated that Tebow, who was leapfrogged by third-string quarterback Greg McElroy when Mark Sanchez was struggling, would request to be let go by New York.

Brian Burke is a great man. He did his best and handled his firing with dignity.

Thanks Brian. Good effort man! and good luck to ya

I agree with RT above. It was evident during Burke's tenure that he always placed the Leaf team and hockey operations ahead of personal time and goals. No decision made in the interest of the team can be guaranteed as a solution to the challenges presented, success is up to a whole lot of people and circumstances falling into place. I'm sorry to see him go and hope that the building blocks Brian put in place will prove fruitful. I hope Rogers respects his acknowledgement that they have the right to staff their team as they see fit. I also hope the acknowledge my right as a fan to cancel my internet contract with them in protest. Slainte Brian!
It sickens me as well, that someone with a legitimate personality gets the can. If Bell and Rogers want a frankenstein as GM, so be it. I wonder if their lowkey FrankenGM will have the heart to do as much charity work as Brian did.
Thumbs down Bell/Rogers.
Dumb move,Toronto looks better every year.Hope he goes to a team that deserves him.

Samsung Launches Wireless Audio with Dock Products in the Region
Oct 29, 2012
- Introducing the world's first dual-docking system supporting both Samsung GALAXY devices and Apple iOS devices
- Wireless Audio with Dock also features enhanced wireless content sharing with AllShare Play, Bluetooth® 3.0 and is even compatible with Airplay technology
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – October 24, 2012 - Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, today announced the launch of its first Wireless Audio with Dock line of products in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the DA-E750, the DA-E670 DA-E650, DA-E570 and the DA-E550. The first-class Wireless Audio with Dock line is the world's first dual-docking system for the premium audiophile that supports both Samsung GALAXY devices and Apple iOS devices—via both, docked and wireless connectivity.
Delivering a total wireless solution, the Wireless Audio with Dock devices provide superior convenience, supporting wireless audio file playback via AllShare for Samsung GALAXY devices and AirPlay for Apple devices, or via Bluetooth® 3.0 for additional smartphones. The devices also feature an analog (composite) input and a USB port to play audio files directly from a thumb drive, music player or portable hard drive—supporting MP3, WMA and WAV file formats.
"As audio is an integral part of the overall home entertainment experience, we're happy to provide consumers in the region with a line of products that offer superior sound quality to be enjoyed in the comfort of their homes. The new wireless Audio Dock highlights Samsung's commitment to offer consumers innovative technologies as it is the world's first dual docking wireless audiophile compatible with multiple devices," said Mr. Vinod Nair, General Manager, AV Business at Samsung Gulf Electronics.
Samsung's premium Wireless Audio with Dock, the DA-E750 offers the latest vacuum tube amplifier technology, providing a warmer, more natural sound compared to conventional audio systems that use transistors. This new technology will allow audio enthusiasts to enjoy music the way it was meant to be heard while enhancing the flavor of sound. The DA-E750 also combines the vacuum tube with a digital amplifier which causes it to reduce unnecessary, harsh sound distortions.
The elegant design of the DA-E750 exudes the highest level of sophistication by combining classic design elements with a touch of luxury. The sleek high gloss wood finish is available in either piano mahogany or piano black, which is accentuated by the warm glow from the vacuum tubes inside the docks when in operation. Additionally, its 2.1-channel woven glass fiber speakers and powerful built-in subwoofer produce 100 watts of crystal-clear sound with enhanced bass enhancing the power of sound. Finally, the SoundShare function will allow the wireless streaming of audio from a Smart TV to the device creating a far superior TV experience.
On the other hand, the Samsung Wireless Audio with Dock DA-E550 and DA-E650 and its unique Horn Style shape, produces a sound experience that is pleasing both to the eyes and ears. The products also include Bluetooth 3.0 and apt-X codec, ensuring that music streams with compatible devices and has the optimum sound quality. Its unique design will also add a touch of style to a home's interior decoration.
Prices start from AED 599 for the DA-E550 and range to AED 2,999 for the DA-E750.

Susan Boyle is having the BEST WEEK EVER! As I'm sure you've seen by now, Boyle is the next big thing on Britain's Got Talent.
Google pulled out all the stops with its universal features. The results start with News then there are 2 YouTube videos, a result for a realtor in Long Beach (she's probably hating this about now), and then Blog results. Eventually, another Susan Boyle, an artist, gets first page treatment, before quickly being engulfed by more British singing sensation links.
I would like to point out that Susan Boyle achieved her special place in the limelight by being true to herself. She's an unemployed church volunteer who cared for her aging mother until she passed away in 2007.
So many times, and yes in the SEM industry, it's all about being like someone who got successful. Sure, we all need inbound links. But do you need to create a clone of work created by that "A-lister" you've placed squarely on a very high pedastal? No. It won't work for you. Just like in Britain's Got Talent or American Idol, you've got to take the ideas that inspire you and make them your own!
If you think I'm wrong to come to all of these conclusions based on a current television and YouTube sensation, I dare you to think again. Paul Potts pulled off the first singing shocker on Britain's Got Talent two years ago. His Google results today are almost as universal as Boyle's.

It's Graduation Day
The ending wasn't loving happy ending but it's reality. It's good that they showed teen moms that u can be a teen mom and still pursue your career and education. If you are truly meant to be with someone it will happen. Ricky changed a lot for John and himself which was very inspirational. But they weren't in love or even liked each other when they first met. Most of time in the end if they really love each other they will be together but good for them for standing their ground. Love will always be there till the end of time even if a break is needed in between love will find its way. God is love. Love never fails even thru trials and challenges. Hopefully there is a reunion or some sort where Ricky and Amy are in the careers they dream of and end up together not got John but because they truly are in love with one another

OAK CREEK, Wis. (AP) - Wade Michael Page played in white supremacist heavy metal bands and posted frequent comments on Internet forums for skinheads, repeatedly exhorting members to act more decisively to support their cause.
"If you are wanting to meet people, get involved and become active," he wrote last year. "Stop hiding behind the computer or making excuses."
A day after Page strode into a Sikh temple with a 9mm handgun and multiple magazines of ammunition, authorities were trying to determine if the 40-year-old Army veteran was taking his own advice when he opened fire on total strangers in a house of worship.
Detectives cautioned they might never know for sure. But the picture of Page that began to develop Monday - found in dark corners of the Internet, in records from a dodgy Army career and throughout a life lived on the margins - suggested he was a white supremacist who wanted to see his beliefs advanced with action.
Between March 2010 and the middle of this year, Page posted 250 messages on one skinhead site and appeared eager to recruit others. In March 2011, he advertised for a "family friendly" barbecue in North Carolina, imploring others to attend.
In November, Page challenged a poster who indicated he would leave the United States if Herman Cain was elected president.
"Stand and fight, don't run," he implored.
In an April message, Page said: "Passive submission is indirect support to the oppressors. Stand up for yourself and live the 14 words," a reference to a common white supremacists mantra.
Still, Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards cautioned Monday that investigators might never know for certain what motivated the attack on the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in suburban Milwaukee. So far, no hate-filled manifesto has emerged, nor any angry blog or ranting Facebook entries.
"We have a lot of information to decipher, to put it all together before we can positively tell you what that motive is - if we can determine that," Edwards said.
Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit civil rights organization in Montgomery, Ala., described Page as a "frustrated neo-Nazi" whose bands' sinister-sounding names seemed to "reflect what he went out and actually did."
Their lyrics talked about genocide against Jews and other minorities.
Across several states, fragments of Page's life emerged Monday in public records and interviews.
He joined the military in Milwaukee in 1992 and was a repairman for the Hawk missile system before switching jobs to become an Army psychological operations specialist in a battalion at Fort Bragg, N.C.
In "psy-ops," Page would have trained to host public meetings between locals and American forces, use leaflet campaigns in a conflict zone or use loudspeakers to communicate with enemy soldiers.
He never deployed overseas in that role, Army spokesman George Wright said.
Page also received extra duty and was fined. The defense officials said they had no other details about the incident, such as how long Page was gone or whether he turned himself in. He was discharged later that same year.
Page bought a brick ranch house outside Fayetteville, N.C., in 2007 with help from a Veterans Affairs mortgage. But on Monday the home was boarded up with knee-high weeds in the yard. A notice taped to the front indicated the home was in foreclosure and had been sold to a bank in January.
Before buying the home, Page lived with Army soldier Darren Shearlock, his wife and young children in a doublewide trailer in a rural community near Fort Bragg, records show.
Shearlock, dressed in his military fatigues, declined to comment about Page or the shooting when approached Monday by The Associated Press.
"He was a precious little boy, and that's what my mind keeps going back to," said Laura Page, of Denver, who was divorced from Page's father around 2001.
In Wisconsin, Page responded to a recent online ad seeking a roommate in Cudahy, a small city outside Milwaukee.
He rented a room in Kurt Weins' house in June, telling Weins he had recently broken up with his girlfriend and needed a place to stay.
Weins said Page stayed in that room all the time, declining invitations to watch TV with him. Page explained that he wanted to bring some belongings out of storage, so he rented an apartment several weeks later in a duplex owned by Weins across the street.
After the FBI searched the apartment in the duplex, Weins returned and found only a computer desk, chair and an inflatable mattress.
Suburban Milwaukee police had no contact with Page before Sunday, and his record gave no indication he was capable of such intense violence.
The FBI was leading the investigation because the shooting was considered domestic terrorism. The agency said it had no reason to believe anyone other than Page was involved.
Page entered the temple as several dozen people prepared for Sunday services. He opened fire without saying a word.
Satwant Singh Kaleka, 65, managed to find a simple butter knife in the temple and attempted to stab the gunman before being shot twice, his son said Monday.
Amardeep Singh Kaleka said FBI agents hugged him, shook his hand and told him his father was a hero.
"Whatever time he spent in that struggle gave the women time to get cover" in the kitchen, Kaleka said.
With their turbans and long beards, Sikhs are often mistaken for Muslims or Arabs, and have inadvertently become targets of anti-Muslim bias in the United States.
Federal officials said the gun used in the attack had been legally purchased. Page had been licensed to own weapons since at least 2008, when he paid $5 each for five pistol-purchase permits in North Carolina.
The six dead ranged in age from 39 to 84 years old. Three people were critically wounded, including a police officer.
Online records show Page had a brief criminal history in other states, including pleading guilty to misdemeanor criminal mischief after a 1994 arrest in El Paso, Texas, for getting drunk and kicking holes in the wall of a bar. He received six months' probation.
Page also pleaded guilty to driving under the influence in Colorado in 1999 but never completed a sentence that included alcohol treatment, records show.
He was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving again in 2010 in North Carolina after running his car off the side of a highway. The case was dropped a year later for lack of evidence, according to court records.
Associated Press writers Gretchen Ehlke and Dinesh Ramde in Milwaukee; Michael Biesecker in Fayetteville, N.C.; Patrick Condon in Minneapolis; Danny Robbins in Dallas; Pauline Jelinek and Eileen Sullivan in Washington; Dan Elliott in Denver; and Juan Carlos Llorca in El Paso, Texas, contributed to this report, along with the AP News Research Center in New York.

Windies looking forward to India tour
By Petra Gooding
THE West Indies may have not played Test cricket in recent times, but Coach Ottis Gibson says his team is looking forward to its upcoming Test match series against India.
The team is on the island for a fitness and medical camp to make sure the players are in tip-top shape for what is going to be a long stint away from the Caribbean. The West Indies will contest two Test matches and three One-Day Internationals in India and will go straight to New Zealand for three Tests, five ODIs and two Twenty20 Internationals.
The West Indies will not see the Caribbean until February next year and Gibson made the point that it was imperative that the players be not only in top physical condition, but be in great health as well.
Things have been going well; the doctors havent reported anything untoward to me as yet, so fingers crossed that everybody is fit to get on the plane, said Gibson.
Gibson was speaking at a press conference at the Accra Beach Hotel yesterday and he noted that while India is ahead of them in the rankings, they plan to fight hard and put on a good show for the Indian cricket fans.
We are not saying we cannot beat India, but we know it is going to be tough. The last time we went to India, we had a couple of inexperienced guys and we put up a good show. So hopefully this time with a bit more experience, we can go one better and win the series. There is no reason why we cant, said Gibson.
The West Indies last Test match was since November of 2012 when it defeated Bangladesh and its other victories were against New Zealand in a home series in August of that year. Both teams are considered inferior by some West Indian fans and those wins are looked down on by some pundits.
Gibson noted that the series against India will finally settle the question of where the West Indies stand in Test cricket.
We have played great in Test cricket, having won the last six, but people have been poking fun at the opposition. This one in India gives us the opportunity to see where we are as a Test side. India are playing some very good One-Day cricket at the moment; they havent played Tests in a long time either, so it gives us an opportunity to go out there and test ourselves, said Gibson.
Gibson not going anywhere
As for that rumour about him leaving the West Indies to take up the post of head coach at Glamorgan, Gibson emphatically stated he did not even receive so much as an e-mail from Glamorgan.
I suppose when you are doing a good job, every job that comes along is yours. But there is no truth in the rumour. I have not been in contact with anybody from Glamorgan. It is the club that I played for in England, but I have had absolutely no contact with them. I have just signed a new contract with the WICB and I am very happy with where we are, said Gibson.
The first Test against India is scheduled for November 6-10 in Kolkata at the Eden Gardens Cricket Ground.

Cartoon Network's site generated 2 billion ad impressions this year, and brands are moving in.
Turner Broadcasting is best known for TV programming, but the media company has also had success aligning brands with a slew of online games its interactive unit pumps out weekly.
According to Benjamin Grubbs, Asia Pacific executive director of interactive media at Turner Broadcasting, the company's Cartoon Network website generated 2 billion ad impressions this year. The traffic came mainly from South Asia, with users engaging for an average of 20 to 25 minutes per visit. More importantly, digital activity is now a revenue driver for the company.
The growth didn't happen overnight. When Turner first built its site, it featured programming schedules that turned out to look more like a marketing brochure than a destination visitors would connect and engage with emotionally.
Grubbs, a former eBay and Yahoo marketing executive, was hired in 2008 to shape how Turner's interactive arm operates. As executive director based in Hong Kong, he works closely with the internal development and web teams to manage the games and mobile businesses.
Producing games comprises a large chunk of what the company does. Turner's interactive media unit releases a new casual game every week and multi-player games every two to three weeks. In addition, it plans longer-term social and mobile game projects designed to bear fruit in nine to 12 months.
Prudential Reaches Kids With Edutainment Site
In one example of Turner's advertiser integration with games, Cartoon Network partnered with Prudential to create an animated edutainment series that rolled out regionally in September.
Focused on financial literacy, the campaign is targeted at children aged seven to 12. Its presence on Turner's site for Cartoon Network showcases a series of animated musical cartoons and games that encourage entrepreneurialism and good saving habits. The videos are also broadcast on the Cartoon Network in seven Asian markets (Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam).
Additionally, the site features an iPhone app known as the Pocket Money Manager to help kids keep track of their weekly allowance, as well as a guide for parents.
According to Grubbs, Turner has seen interest from entertainment, FMCG, and retail categories.
Meanwhile, the company is in the process of hiring a head of digital in Australia next month, to be charged with building a local team to meet demand from advertisers. Other markets in Asia where Turner has a strong digital presence include Korea and India. For Turner, India is the biggest market for kids in the region; it has seven different businesses in the country. And in China, it recently partnered with local online games developer NetDragon to unveil 91kt.com, a web portal aimed at Chinese kids with animated products and online games.
For marketers keen to explore in-game branding opportunities, his advice is, "Be clear of the key audience that really matters to you. Know who that group is."
And when planning gaming initiatives, he said, think long term. Often when a campaign period is over, he explained, companies are no longer invested as they move on to other initiatives. But digital content will continue to live on and some consumers may still be engaged with it. "Don't get yourself into a mindset that you only run it for three months and it's done."
While Turner's interactive arm offers brands co-creating opportunities in its games, Grubbs said it has also built games for marketers without the Cartoon Network branding.

First version of the spring chart, obviously a lot of potential titles are missing, it will be updated in the weeks to come as spring draws near.
Update (2/8/2013):
Printable View
The list is still short, but it already seems like a promising season to me. I already have 4 animes in mind, planned to give a try, just with that short list. XD
Here's a more detailed chart:
All I can say that this most likely will be an improvement compared to the winter season. I'm dying for Shingeki and Aku no Hana alone so this definitely will be pure win :zomg
Current picks of Spring 2013 : Shingeki no Kyoujin, Aku no Hana, and Gargantia (Gen Urobuchi, FTW!)... I hope there would be another unexpected hit from Spring season.
I do hope that SnK gets a descent animation. Such a distinct art style must be captured in it's entirety. The spring season is a lot better than the winter one. I do hope for more original works though, they have been lacking in those for a while now.
Looks plain amazing to me.
Spring season looks amazing, can't ever remember seeing as loaded a season. A WataMote anime has been announced too, though it has not been officially scheduled for spring. My list, so far:
Gargantia is the series I am most interested in. Production I.G animating an original by Orobuchi Gen is a very exciting prospect. Valvrave too, new Sunrise mecha can not be ignored.
- Aku no Hana
- Shingeki
- Gargantia
- Yahari
- Valvrave
I will also give these shows a chance, if PV's are good enough:
A lot depends on what else is announced.
- Date A Live
- Photo Kano
Now ... that is impressive. :zomg
Devil Survivor, Yahari, and Higurashi look like things I'll check out.
Karneval, Aku no Hana, and Galgantia might be worth taking a look at too.
I love Shingeki and all, but it's a little too early IMO and I'd like to watch it when they inevitably remake it once the manga ends, rather then see them come up with some crazy alternate story like with the first FMA.
I've known that Karneval is going to be made into anime and I've seen the trailer, but only now I know that it will aired in spring! :nowei I'm excited!
For now, Karneval is the only anime from the chart that interests me. I hope I'll have more to add later...
Nothing else matters once Oreimo has appeared.
Hataraku Maou-sama
official page for this anime: here
Aku no Hana sounds a bit scary? XDD But rather interesting. I wonder if it will turn a bit 'psycho' like with Mirai Nikki. Probably will try Shingeki no Kyoujin as well since I didn't manage to check the manga yet (sorry to those who recommended it to me v__v). Karneval looks quite good. That Dansai Buri is rather strange... I like that kind of survival game but the whole thing about hair and cutting it down makes me hesitate. Anyone saw the first season of Devil Survivor? Just wondering if the series is good. And Galgantia, of course.
I think this spring is definitely more promising than the previous season. Hopefully those looking-good titles will stay good till the end! :p
There wasn't a first season of Devil survivor since it's adapted from a game much like Persona 3 and 4, I agree that spring really looks awesome this year, I found at least 9 titles I want to follow which are the six you wrote above, Valvrave, Arata Kangatariand even though it's not confirmed yet for this season but I bet it will, KnB season 2.

In secret conversations with jailhouse pals, Casey Anthony carelessly revealed details about her daughter Caylee's murder that only the killer would know.
According to bombshell documents released by the Florida State Attorney's Office in Orlando, Casey's biggest slip-up came on the day after she learned a meter reader had found a child's remains near her Orlando home in December 2008.
A chaplain came to give Casey the news and told her that cops were going to do a DNA test to verify that the remains were Caylee.
The next day, Casey had a tear-filled conversation with fellow Orange County Jail inmate Robyn Adams, a rule-breaking privilege facilitated by a friendly corrections officer.
"She just said...the meter reader found (the body) in the woods by her parents' house...and a baby blanket inside a black garbage bag," Adams told police. "She was crying, and she was scared, very scared."
It was a "Sherlock Holmes moment" for police. At the time, Casey couldn't have known about the garbage bag or the blanket unless she had firsthand knowledge of them.
"The information regarding the baby blanket and the black garbage bag was not made known to the jail chaplain," lead Detective Yuri Melich noted in a report. "So Casey Anthony had knowledge of items only the suspect, certain law enforcement personnel and certain medical examiner's personnel knew."
The fear Casey displayed to inmate Adams was in direct contrast to the lighthearted reaction she had after seeing a news report that searchers were looking for Caylee's remains in the wrong area, far away from where the body was eventually found.
Casey "kinda giggled," Adams told investigators.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement Special Agent Chris Woehr, who was interviewing Adams, then asked: "Because she knew her daughter was somewhere else?"
"Um hmm...she kinda giggled," Adams repeated.
Corrections Officer Silvia Hernandez, who was later disciplined for allowing Casey's contacts with other inmates, also told police that Casey "knew where the baby was." Casey had told the guard: "They're not looking in the right place...it's right in their face, but they're not looking in the right place."
Caylee's remains were less than a half-mile from the Anthony home.
Casey, 24, faces the death penalty when she goes to trial in May 2011.

Rated 1 out of 5�by Jamie Missing piece What we received was in excellent condition, but the bag had been opened and one of the ankle attachments was missing. We have not returned them because the season has already started. They are nice guards, but better care needs to be taken to ensure the merchandise is complete before delivery. Thanks March 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Aperez9 Best I've seen Great feel and great look. These have made my 10 yr old the happiest kid on the field. The material and design add for the best possible comfort. No regrets! September 10, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by AJ Shin Guards - excellent quality My son has never like any shin guards I buy - he loves these! The fact that you can remove the angle guards from the shin guards is a great feature - gives more options. June 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by JS5 never again They tore the first time he wore them. Way too expensive. May 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by CNYSoccerPoppa Great Protection, Great Value We recently purchased this product for our grandson who plays U11 and U12 boys soccer and actually paid a bit more than we had for his previous shin guards. However, we feel we got excellent value for what we paid. They're comfortable and well-made and the ankle guard protects an area where he'd previously been kicked and suffered some discomfort. The "sock" portion detaches from the ventilated shell to allow for laundering as well as for the most comfortable positioning and fit. Overall, we like this style of guard because it offers the best protection for our young athlete and it stays in place during the hardest play. April 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by shin guards good features ankel supports are a little difficult to get on, but other than that, so far its a good product. March 25, 2014

It's a perfect example of how God works in our lives. Habakkuk prayed to God. He questioned God about the violence in the world around him, along with other things. It got to the point he thought God wasn't listening. He even asked God, in Habakkuk 1:2 "O Lord, how long shall I cry for help and You will not hear? Or cry out to You of violence and You will not save?" I think we have all been in this situation... especially in these uncertain times. I'm sure at some point or another, we've all asked, "Hey God, are you there?"
What the Lord responded to Habakkuk just blew me away! He said in verse 5, "Look around [you, Habakkuk, replied the Lord] among the nations and see! And be astonished! Astounded! For I am putting into effect a work in your days [such] that you would not believe it if it were told you."
Wow! Such a work that you would not believe it if I told you. We spend so much time praying, and asking and begging God to move in our lives. We become so preoccupied with him answering immediately. The thing is, if we would just stop worrying for a second, just long enough to look around and realize that God is already fulfilling his promises for us. I suppose sometimes we get impatient because we feel he does not answer us in OUR timing. It always has to be done NOW! But of course, God's timing is always perfect. He comes right on time. We need to pray for discernment so that we are able to see when it is that he is answering our prayers, because he is always moving, sometimes we just don't notice it.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 declares how important it is for us to have a vision for our life. God has a special purpose for all of us, as it says in Phillipians 3:12 we should have our eye one the prize, which is what the Lord has called us to do. His will should be our goal. Our vision. Many people do not discover their visions because they are so busy trying to create their own vision, and their own will, rather than following God's plan for their life!
We as human's tend to focus on our inabilities. We focus on the things that we can't do, rather than focusing on the things that we CAN do. When and if we become so wrapped up in our flaws, that's when we lose focus on the awesome God we serve. Hebrews 12:2 tells us to focus on Jesus, and look away from all things that distract us. We are not perfect. We all have flaws, and imperfections, but we should not choose to dwell on them. Instead, we should set our sights on Jesus, and focus also on the things we can do and put them to work as best as we can, putting every effort into it so that we can excel.
A good way to keep note of the visions God gives us is to write them down. as it says in Habakkuk 2:2. It's always good to keep a journal of some sort with our prayers to God, and we should also make a note of when he has answered them.
Through all this, we need to have patience. Habakkuk 2:3 speaks of an "appointed" time for our visions to come to pass. God knows when the time is right. We need to trust him and know that he is never late. Even it it seems like it's taking forever... be still, wait, and trust in him, and know that it will come to pass. Hebrews 10:35-37 reminds us of how important is is to be patient, in order to complete the will of God. Although God is never late, he does not always work in OUR timing. He will however, not fail to make his will complete in our life. Habakkuk waited patiently for his prayers to be answered. He waited patiently for his vision happen. He trusted God, and knew that he would not let him down, and sure enough, as always, God came through...
Incredible... What an awesome God we serve. What else can I say? I know this is a little long, but it has ministered to me in such a great way, I have to share it. =D
Love Ya! Daisy M.

Basically, it was media day for the Major League Baseball Productions crew that was making a 66-minute DVD on Reds history, due out in June.
I showed up for my Wednesday spot in the interview room next to the visitors' clubhouse at Great American Ball Park.
The crew was filming here instead of at the nicely appointed Reds Hall of Fame and Museum because the Hall's warm-air system would have made for too much background noise. As it was, we had to stop filming several times because of carts growling through the tunnel, hauling gear to waiting trucks bound for the Reds new spring training site in Goodyear, Ariz.
It's that time of year. Only 13 days until Reds pitchers and catchers report.
Jim O'Hara, a producer for MLB Productions, asked me which Reds' eras I felt most comfortable discussing, and I said 1919, 1939-40 and 1990.
Everybody loves a winner.
"I could say I know quite a bit about the Big Red Machine, but that doesn't make me unique in this town," I told Jim and his two-man crew.
They laughed, which confirmed what I suspected: No need to re-hash the 1975-76 World Champions.
There aren't many Reds fans over the age of 45 who can't name the starting eight, position-by-position, of the Big Red Machine; in most cases, those folks can rattle off the batting order.
Most fans here over the age of 30 can name the starting eight for the 1990 World Champion Reds. My late father-in-law, Bob Boehmker, and a friend and colleague of ours, the late Dick Macke, could recite the batting order and positions of the 1940 World Champion Reds. So I know for a fact that most people over 80 can do the same. There's just something about World Champions - or teams when we were 12 years old or so.
When it comes to Reds baseball, we all - on both sides of the river - are historians. And when it comes to championship teams, (or, as you'll read momentarily, infamous teams) we all know our stuff.
I think what first piqued my interest in baseball history was when I pedaled home from a Syracuse Chiefs Triple-A game with my brother, Greg, and I mentioned to my father at dinner that there had been an oldtimers' game before the Chiefs game. A fellow who had played for the Chiefs in 1935 after an eight-year big league career with the St. Louis Cardinals was led onto the field by a seeing eye dog. The fellow was the first major league position player to wear glasses while playing,. He went blind in 1951 after his fifth operation to save his failing eyesight proved unsuccessful.
"Specs Toporcer?" my old man asked. "I watched him play when I was a kid."
Pretty cool, I remember thinking. I believe my dad's remark is when I first realized that athletes (especially, for some reason, baseball players) connect the generations. Our memories of these players are touchstones in our lives; they "date" us. It isn't just who these guys were when we watched them play; it's who we were.
In my interview for MLB Productions, I was fine discussing the 1940 and 1990 Reds. But I went blank when O'Hara asked me about the starting pitchers for the 1919 team.
And, yet, for some reason, the names of Chicago White Sox pitchers Eddie Cicotte and Lefty Williams were on the tip of my tongue. So, too, were the names of four of the other six Chicago players (later known as the "Black Sox") who were banned from baseball for life: Shoeless Joe Jackson, Chick Gandil, Swede Risberg and Buck Weaver.
The only 1919 Reds I could remember were future Hall of Fame center fielder Edd Roush, the guy with the bottle bat (third baseman Heinie Groh) and second baseman Morrie Rath, but only because he was the leadoff hitter who Cicotte drilled to start Game 1 at Redland Field to signal to gambling kingpin Arnold Rothstein that Cicotte would deliver on the fix.
Funny how that is. The Reds got the trophy, but the Black Sox got the movie, the books (90 years later, no end in sight) and the recollections.
O'Hara had heard of an Enquirer story I'd written a few years ago about several downtown locations that figured prominently in the 1919 scandal. He asked if I'd be willing to conduct a tour for an already underway 1919 program by MLB Productions. Sure, I said.
(Several months ago, I was delighted to read that the building that houses the Metropole Apartments - just up the street from the Aronoff Center - is being saved. That building once housed the Metropole Hotel, in front of which Roush got word after Game 2 that the fix was in.)
When I packed my grip to leave Wednesday, I remember thinking how cool it was that all these various Reds' DVDs and programs are being made.
The only downside is that pretty soon there won't be any new Reds stuff about which to watch, read and remember.
It's time the team brass made some memories for our kids and grandkids so they have some lineups and batting orders to recall as clearly as oven aromas when they turn 80.
Mercy, it must be rough being a Cubs fan.

UW-River Falls Helps Youth Embrace College
By Molly Exner
UW-RF News Bureau
This June, almost 100 youth trying to better their odds at pursuing a college education had that chance through the University of Wisconsin-River Falls Explore Program. The precollege camp brought students grades 6-12 who are potentially first-generation college students to the University to experience dorm life, academic courses, recreation and social experiences.
Funded by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Explore is an academic enrichment program intended to get young people excited about college. The program provides hands-on learning experiences from UW-RF instructors and student counselors and helps prepare students for ACT and SAT college entrance exams.
The Explore Program is directed by Terrence Galbreath, himself a role model who can attest to the value of the program from his own experience. "Most of these students are coming from backgrounds where their parents have never talked about college in the home," said Galbreath, a UW-RF alumnus. "They havenŐt been pushed in that direction from counselors or teachers either, so they just donŐt have the hope. We want to instill hope in them, plant the seed and tell them they can do it."
As a teenager, Galbreath was involved in a similar camp, the Upward Bound program at Texas A&M University. He said a director from that program inspired him to take responsibility and overcome the negativity in his life.
In order to achieve the same motivation for college that Galbreath received, the University tries hard to recruit motivated staff who are interested in working with youth and provide courses that meet their interests, says Galbreath. The camp is planned each year by reviewing surveys of past students, who offer ideas and perspectives on their needs and expectations.
"You want to stick with some of the old because, of course, some of the old stuff works; but then you always want to look for something new," said Galbreath. Galbreath said the top two things mentioned in past surveys were more free time and more outdoor activities. A popular game among students was called Winds of Change. In circle formation, students were asked to pay close attention to the people around them. They had to fill in the blanks that identify their peers to enhance name-building and observation skills. The students also enjoyed climbing-rope courses at the YMCA and outdoor events in nearby Prescott, Wis.
Each year, the courses offered depend on the staff and the interest level in the course. In addition, this year student counselors were given more freedom to plan activities for the Explore students. For example, counselors had one or two diversity-building activities planned and ready to carry out. Galbreath said having counselors who are college students helps the Explore participants connect better with their instructors.
Courses in math, science and creative writing were offered along with some repeat favorites. Bio-detectives is a popular class taught by biology Professor Katherine Miller, whoŐs been involved with the camp for several years. The course includes fingerprinting, investigating crime scenes, forensics and DNA sampling. World Dance is also a favorite course that gives the students an opportunity to immerse themselves in dance and music from a variety of cultures.
Nearly a third of all the Explore students return to the camps each year. Three Explore "graduates," who are seniors, have applied for admission at Xavier University, Columbia University and UCLA. Galbreath has their artwork hanging in his office.
"Ideally what we want is to get them in college someday," said Galbreath. "The secondary goal is to get the students to attend the UW-RF campus as college students. I donŐt try to push UW-RF on the students too hard, but I do put in a good word."
Prior to his first year as director, Galbreath spent two years as an Explore student counselor, and says he believes in UW-RF's message of higher education and the opportunities provided by the camps. He graduated from UW-RF in May 2003 with a major in broad field social studies and an emphasis in history and will attend graduate school at Bethel College in the fall.
Galbreath gives credit to the people in his life who pushed him and instilled hope in him. He says the transformation from when the students arrive on campus to when they leave is "a beautiful process." "Some students can go either way. They can choose college or block out the messages we're trying to send and go back to the negativity that might surround them in their environment. I feel like I have to do whatever I can to try and help people make it in life," said Galbreath.

The Temash tablet is coming. Just at the end of the first day of Computex, but the well-informed have already learned two APU mobile devices based on the new AMD – they are the Gigabyte S10A and Quanta A4-1200 prototype. The first is to introduce the Gigabyte S10A: as shown in the figure, this tablet running Windows 8 looks a bit "chunky", and it's equipped with AMD A4-1200 APU, 500GB mechanical hard drive and USB 3.0.
Gigabyte claimed the S10A has 14 hours battery life, which may partly explain its chassis thickness. In addition, the S10A also offers a free Office 2013 Home Edition.
The Quanta prototype is also equipped with A4-1200 APU, in addition it also has 1080p IPS touch screen, 128GB SSD, as well as 3G and LTE wireless connectivity.
According to the Mobilegeaks reports, in order to show off the capabilities of the platform, the manufacturer also gave it the slogan that everything that is possible. .

ESPN's Erin Andrews Dances With Vanilla Ice (Video)
by Robert Littal | Posted on Wednesday, June 13th, 2012
Mike Tyson and Vanilla Ice were two individuals I figured would be broke and homeless by now.
Happy that I am wrong.
Vanilla Ice, I always thought got a bit of a bad rap, no pun intended. It wasn't like no one was bumping Ice Ice Baby, it was in constant rotation.
Suge stole his publishing and he went AWOL for a minute, but he invested wisely and seems to be doing quite well for himself. No clue why he was on ESPN, but he got Erin Andrews to dance with him, so it was a win for him.

Us vs. them
Comparing the cities of Detroit and Boston:
Theyre Beantown. Were Motown.
They have the Kennedys. We have the Fords.
We have the University of Michigan. They have Harvard, the Michigan of the East.
They have the Green Monster. We have Sparty, whos wicked awesome.
They have Matt Damon. We have Ben Affleck the best Batman yet hanging out here with Superman this summer.
They have Plymouth Rock. We have Kid Rock.
We have Eminem on 8 Mile. They have the New Kids on the Block.
They have Bobby Orr. We have Kevyn Orr.
They have the Boston Tea Party. Hey, aint no party like a Detroit party.
We say pop. They have the Boston Pops.
They have Big Papi. We had Papa Grande.
They have Cheers, where everybody knows your name. Were more careful about identity theft.
They have Bill Belichick, who isnt going to win any popularity contests outside of Boston and couldnt care less. We have Bill Laimbeer.
It's a new season
Coach Claude Julien says winning the Presidents Trophy hasnt made the Bruins overconfident.
I heard about 40% of the series are upsets in the first round, Julien told the Canadian Press. You have teams that have high expectations. You have teams that have nothing to lose and everything to gain. So that certainly makes that first round a challenge.
So the Bruins are going in with their eyes open. But that statistic he cited has to sound pretty good to Wings fans, too.
As for the underdogs on paper, at least its the playoffs, so somebody had to say it. Over to you, Jimmy Howard.
All of the pressure is going to be on them, Howard said, using the time-honored cliché. Theyve got to win, were not supposed to. Weve got to make it as hard as possible on them.

Definitely the best spot in Phuket. It's got a few bars but is not as hectic as Patong. Go to Kata Noi Beach, which is south of Kata beach itself but much less busier.
Check out Kata Night Bazaar, it has a bar with a swimming pool which is fun.
If youre looking for a cheap decent place to stay go to Kata High Viewpoint Guest House. It doesn't actually have a view but you get a room with cable tv and loads of english channels and a fridge for 500 baht a night.
Take a left just after the 7-11 and its a red gate on the left hand side or phone mama oi on 0862766597, she speaks good english.

Lunch: Jimmy Buffett, Dr. Ruth and the Usual Suspects
Those corporate bean counters that put a crimp in expense accounts all over town must be loosening up a bit, because it was SRO today at Michael's. We did, however, manage to squeeze in a sit-down with MarketWatch's Jon Friedman and a chat with two legendary film producers about their lives post-Hollywood. Plus, there were sightings of Dr. Ruth and folks from People and Time, Inc. And is that Jimmy Buffett?
