Admission★½½ - (PG-13, language, some sexual material) Straight-laced Princeton University admissions officer Portia Nathan (Tina Fey) is caught off-guard when she makes a recruiting visit to an alternative high school overseen by her former college classmate, the free-wheeling John Pressman (Paul Rudd). Pressman has surmised that Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), his gifted yet very unconventional student, might well be the son that Portia secretly gave up for adoption many years ago.

Oz the Great and Poweful
★★★ - (PG, sequences of action and scary images and brief mild language) The film aims for nostalgia in older viewers who grew up on "The Wizard of Oz" and still hold the classic dear while simultaneously enchanting a newer, younger audience.

Playing at Moviehouse, Millerton; Downing Filml Center, Newburgh; Upstate Films, Tinker Street Cinema, Woodstock.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey★★½ - (PG-13, extended sequences of intense fantasy action violence, frightening images) Judging part one of Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" prelude "The Hobbit" is a bit like reviewing a film after seeing only the first act. Stuffed with Hollywood's latest technology, the result is some eye candy that truly dazzles and some that utterly distracts. The technology may improve the story's translation to the screen. There's just not that much story to Tolkien's "Hobbit," though. Jackson is stretching a breezy 300 pages to the length of a Dickens miniseries, and those in-between bits really stick out in part one. From a Hobbit's lips to a filmmaker's ears. Let's hope Jackson has the goods to improve on a so-so start. Otherwise, "The Hobbit" - subtitled "There and Back Again" by Tolkien - is going to feel like traveling the same road more than twice. Starring Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, Cate Blanchett and Christopher Lee. Warner Bros. banner New Line Cinema and MGM. 169 minutes. Playing at Silver Cinemas, South Hills Mall, Poughkeepsie.
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone ★½ - (PG-13, sexual content, dangerous stunts, a drug-related incident and language) Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas Strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt's growing ego. But lately the duo's greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they've grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerrilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show is starting to look stale. These small joys are few and far between in a comedy that's mostly reliant on repetitive sights gags and increasingly desperate one-upmanship. Directed by Don Scardino. 101 minutes. New Line Cinema. Playing at Lyceum Six, Red Hook; Roosevelt Cinemas, Hyde Park; New Paltz Cinemas; Regal Cinemas Galleria 16, Poughkeepsie; Regal Cinemas Fishkill; Regal Cinemas Hudson Valley Mall, Kingston.

Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, The giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack, into the battle of his life to stop them.

Playing at Regal Cinemas Galleria 16, Poughkeepsie; Regal Cinemas Fishkill; Regal Cinemas Hudson Valley Mall, Kingston.
Quartet★★★ - (PG-13, brief strong language, suggestive humor) Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut is a delightful visit to a home for aging musicians, whose goofy balance is upset by the arrival of a former diva (Maggie Smith) who still fits the description. With Michael Gambon, Billy Connolly and more. The Weinstein Company. 98 minutes. Playing at Rosendale Theatre.
Safe Haven★½ - (PG-13, thematic material involving threatening behavior, and for violence and sexuality) It's another Nicholas Sparks book-to-film adaptation, so you know the drill: Two pretty people meet, sparks fly, eyes roll. In this treacly serving, Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel fall for each other against the bucolic backdrop of coastal North Carolina while a police officer closes in on Hough for mysterious reasons. As slick and calculated a product as all Sparks adaptations, only more boring. Directed by Lasse Hallstrom. Relativity Media. 115 mintues. Playing at Regal Cinemas Galleria 16, Poughkeepsie.
Snitch★★★ - (PG-13, drug content, sequences of violence) Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson isstretches his talents in a dramatic role as John Matthews, a business owner and family man who triesfinds himself attempting to topple a Mexican drug cartel in anda desperate attempt to get his teenage son out of prison. It's a ludicrous but mostly capable story. And some cars blow up. Also stars Susan Sarandon, Barry Pepper. Directed by Ric Roman Waugh. Summit Entertainment. 112 minutes. Playing at Regal Cinemas Galleria 16, Poughkeepsie.
The Call - (R, violence, disturbing content and some language) When veteran 911 operator Jordan Turner receives a call from a girl who has just been abducted, she soon realizes that she must confront a killer from her past in order to save the girl's life.

The 12 Days of ButchWatch
CINCINNATI - I don't know about you, but there are two things these days I can't seem to get away from: Christmas music and the Butch Jones "where's he going"? coaching saga .
It was only a matter of time before the two merged.
Sure, it could be "All I Want for Christmas is a Job at UT" or "Silent Coach, Shifty Coach" or "Orange and White Christmas."
But this one seems to make the most sense. Keep in mind, it's early, so my judgment and songwriting are cloudy.
On the 12th Day of ButchWatch, Coach Jones gave to us…
12 reporters digging
'11 Big East champions
Ten Vols-a-cheering
Nine Bearcat wins
Eight gazillion tweets
Seven UT losses
Six orange neckties
Five-hour drive (to Knoxville)
Four wooing schools
Three years and gone,
Too many rumors,
and a job in the SEC.
Or maybe we could go this route:
UC better watch out, UC better not cry
Three years and out -
They tell their coaches bye-bye
Another one is leaving our town
He's made a long list
And visited thrice
This morning we found out which one thought he was nice
Another coach is leaving our town
He won the conference two times
He was wooed by many teams
But he's headed down to Knoxville town
To sing "Rocky Top" incessantly
Oh! UC better watch out
UC better not cry
The coaching search starts now
Who's the next guy they'll sign?
'Cause another coach is leaving our town.
My apologies to Christmas carol writers everywhere.

Comments by wannabeMer
PLEASE....this one beats all.
Maybe she has a crush on Owen now.
I hope she isn't going to be like this all season.
I love seeing her all made up....she's so gorgeous.
I noticed also how big her boobs are! Hmmmm.
He really is the perfect man. I'm so jealous of his wife. And I agree with V'day being overrated. Can get very stressful.
Derek's gonna do great as chief, they just have to give him a chance.
Plus his hair looks even better than usual! Hot chief is sexy
Looks like Mer has forgiven Derek....sooo glad. Can't stand when they are mad at each other.
@cristy nations:
I can certainly understand how you would feel so sensitive to the ABS story line but I really don't think they were making fun or trying to be mean. I think they just meant to show just how immature and selfish Sloane is and that she is IN NO WAY (in my opinion) mature enough to have a healthy baby much less one with a medical complication, which she pretty much came to realize herself by the end of the episode. Best of luck to your grandson.
I agree with megan. I think Addison is having a dream.
@hohoho...I agree with you. I thought Bailey's speech was good at first, then I kept wondering when it was going to end. Thought it was too long and a bit too much and somewhat embarrassing for everyone else at the table to listen to.
@justafan and Scottie....I totally agree with you both on all the points you mentioned. That being said, there WERE ALSO some GREAT scenes in that episode. It wasn't ALL terrible.

Western Australian Temperate Shark - Ministerial decision February 2007
Ministerial Decision
Andrew McNee, Delegate of the Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, February 2007
The Hon Norman Moore MLC
Minister for Fisheries
4th Floor London House
216 St George Terrace
Dear Minister
I am writing to you in relation to the re-assessment of the Western Australia Temperate Shark Fisheries (WATSF), comprising the Joint Authority Southern Demersal Gillnet and Demersal Longline Managed Fishery and the West Coast Demersal Gillnet and Demersal Longline (Interim) Managed Fishery, under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).
In October 2008, the Department of Fisheries Western Australian (DFWA) submitted the document entitled Application to the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts on the Western Australian Temperate Shark Fisheries for assessment under the EPBC Act to allow continued export approval for these fisheries. The submission has been assessed for the purposes of the protected species provisions of Part 13 and the wildlife trade provisions of Part 13A of the EPBC Act. The assessment also took account of measures that have been developed and implemented by DFWA in response to conditions and recommendations placed on the previous Wildlife Trade Operation (WTO) declarations to improve the management of the fisheries. I am pleased to advise that assessment of the WATSF is now complete.
The new assessment report will be available on the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) website at: www.environment.gov.au/coasts/fisheries/index.html.
As there have been no significant changes to management arrangements since our last assessment of the fisheries in 2006 and noting the low level of reported interactions with protected species in the fisheries, I consider that the existing Part 13 accreditations in relation to protected species provisions under the EPBC Act still apply.
I am satisfied that the operation of the WATSF are consistent with the objects of the wildlife trade provisions in Part 13A of the EPBC Act. I am also satisfied that they are unlikely to be detrimental to the survival or conservation status of any taxon to which the fisheries operations relate, or threaten any relevant ecosystem in the short to medium term.
While performance against the Guidelines for the Ecologically Sustainable Management of Fisheries – 2nd Edition is adequate, I am of the view that there are a number of issues that need to be addressed to contain environmental risks in the longer term. These include: ensuring dusky, sandbar and whiskery sharks are managed to rebuild their breeding stocks and to determine the nature and frequency of interactions between fishers and Australian sea lions. To ensure that these risks are minimised, I propose to declare the WATSF as approved WTO's under Part 13A of the EPBC Act, subject to five conditions (AttachmentA). This declaration would allow the export of product from the fisheries for the next three years.
While there are some environmental risks associated with these fisheries, I believe that DFWA is committed to addressing these issues and is already taking proactive steps in some areas. Officers from our two departments have discussed key areas requiring ongoing and increased attention, and I understand that in addition to the conditions to the WTO declarations, they have agreed to a number of recommended actions to be implemented before the next Australian Government review of the fisheries. The recommendations at Attachment B have been an important factor in my decision to declare the fisheries as approved WTO's and I look forward to receiving your confirmation that they will be implemented.
I would like to thank you for the constructive way in which your officials have approached this assessment.
I have written to the Hon Tony Burke MP, Minister for Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry to advise him of the outcomes of the assessment for the Joint Authority Southern Demersal Gillnet and Demersal Longline Managed Fishery.
Yours sincerely
[Signed 22 February 2007]
Peter Garrett
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts
Attachment A
Conditions on the Wildlife Trade Operation Declaration for the Joint Authority Southern Demersal Gillnet and Demersal Longline Managed Fishery (JASDGDLF) and the West Coast Demersal Gillnet and Demersal Longline (Interim) Managed Fishery (WCDGDLF).
- Operation of the JASDGDLF and the WCDGDLF will be carried out in accordance with the management arrangements in force under the WA Fish Resources Management Act 1994.
- The Department of Fisheries Western Australia (DFWA) to advise the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) of any intended change to the JASDGDLF and WCDGDLF management arrangements that may affect the assessment of the fishery against the criteria on which Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) decisions are based.
- DFWA to produce and present reports to DEWHA annually as per Appendix B to the Guidelines for the Ecologically Sustainable Management of Fisheries - 2nd Edition.
- DFWA to:
- review and report against the outcomes of actions taken to date to rebuild dusky and sandbar shark stocks, and publicly release the report; and,
- continue to further develop strategies to ensure the recovery of dusky, sandbar and whiskery shark stocks within an appropriate timeframe relevant to the biology of the stock.
- DFWA to;
- by 30 March 2011, undertake a study to estimate risk of interactions between fishers and Australian sea lions and determine scientifically robust levels of observer coverage required for the purposes of designing an appropriate and effective observer program; and
- subject to the outcomes of Condition 5(a) implement an appropriate observer program to determine the nature and frequency of interactions with Australian sea lions.
Attachment B
Recommendations to the Department of Fisheries Western Australia (DFWA) on the ecologically sustainable management of the Joint Authority Southern Demersal Gillnet and Demersal Longline Managed Fishery (JASDGDLF) and the West Coast Demersal Gillnet and Demersal Longline (Interim) Managed Fishery (WCDGDLF).
The JASDGDLF and WCDGDLF are relatively well-managed fisheries with a range of management measures to promote the ecologically sustainable harvesting of species from the fisheries. These measures include: limited entry; gear restrictions; stock assessments for the four key shark stocks (gummy, dusky, sandbar and whiskery sharks); introduction of maximum size limits for dusky sharks to reduce mortality of older individuals (critical to the rebuilding of dusky shark stocks); improved management arrangements for shark caught in commercial fisheries that do not target shark; improved management measures for recreational fishers, including maximum size limits for all whaler sharks in the west coast and south coast bioregions; prohibition on the use of metal snood material and large hooks; implementation of temporal closures for whiskery shark pupping areas; implementation of an effort management regime aimed at reducing and constraining effort; and, implementation of a daily/trip catch and effort logbook, with proposed improvements to data validation processes to ensure integrity and accuracy of logbook data.
The following recommendations have been made to further strengthen the effectiveness of the management arrangements for the fisheries and minimise environmental risks in the medium to longer term. Unless a specific time frame is provided in the recommendation each recommendation must be addressed within the life of the declaration (three years).
- DFWA to implement a robust system to validate commercial logbook reporting of catch and effort for all target and byproduct species.
- DFWA to continue to improve accuracy and recording of species-specific catch data for all chondrichthyans, including target and byproduct species.
- DFWA, in collaboration with industry and relevant stakeholders, to develop and implement a long-term monitoring program for bycatch species, sufficient to identify long-term trends in their composition and quantity.
- By November 2010, DFWA to review and update the Ecologically Sustainable Development report for the Western Australia Temperate Shark Fisheries (WATSF) including:
- a review of risk levels; and,
- update or development of new objectives, performance measures, management responses and information requirements as appropriate,
- DFWA to:
- undertake a formal quantitative compliance risk assessment for the WATSF; and
- apply the outcomes of that assessment within its internal compliance planning processes.
- DFWA to pursue and support ongoing research for target species, byproduct, bycatch (including protected species) and impacts on the ecosystem to continue to improve the ecologically sustainable management of the fisheries.
- DFWA to:
- continue to improve estimates of harvest from the recreational sector; and
- factor this information into stock assessments to ensure harvest levels are ecologically sustainable.

Tigers centerfielder Austin Jackson did not start Thursday night against Chris Sale. Jackson was 2-for-30 in his career against the White Sox left-hander.
That begged the question: What does first-year manager Brad Ausmus view as an appropriate sample size when weighing matchups and deciding lineups?
"It's not necessarily the number of at-bats," Ausmus said. "Generally, I would say five at-bats is way too low of a number, but if someone is 0-for-5 with five punchouts, that's a little more telling. ...

I would go with the Higdon programs over Galloway, as they have more running and don't go to ridiculous long runs. I'd go with Novice 2 right out of the box for you considering your current mileage and your time available.
It is too early to think about a time goal - you'll want to run a half marathon or 10K closer to the marathon date - but with a 1:55 half and a relatively low mileage program, 4:10-4:30 is probably where you will be.
10 1:12:59 (2014) 13.1 1:35:55 (2013) 26.2 3:23:31 (2013)
bloggy stuff at http://ilanarama.dreamwidth.org
So jealous, would love to run NY but it'll be a few years before I qualify, and who knows what will happen with the lottery... hope you have a fantastic time!
That having been said, and this is just an observation, not an attempt to throw cold water, doing a first marathon in November can be a little tricky because it means you're racking up major mileage during the hottest months of the year.
Pay extra close attention to proper hydration and heat-appropriate running gear. Depending on the climate where you live, you might have to start doing your long runs very, very early in the morning, because getting up when it's dark is so much fun :-) Still, early morning is usually cooler than evening, when the heat of the day can linger.
Thank you! I had no motivation to increase my mileage so that's why it was so low. thank you for the recommendation of Higdon. I'll take your advice and do Novice 2 although Intermediate 1 sounds tempting! BTW your PRs are amazing, congratulations.
Yes, heat would be a definite concern for most people here except for me -- I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada where the weather is pretty mild. The highest it ever gets is 30C which is 86F, and I usually do my runs super early so yes, the 5am runs are what I have planned
One more thing I didn't note is that I will probably have to change my diet: for the last year or so, I eat monomeals until dinner (so like 5 bananas for breakfast, ½ watermelon for lunch and either raw veggies or fruit snacks between the two meals). So basically it is all carbs but not the carbs with which runners are identified. I've been reading up on all of the debate regarding the ability to keep up w/ heavy mileage on a "low-carb" lifestyle, but not much discussion, it seems, is on this forum re: basically a fruitarian diet. I know people like Tim Van Orden (http://www.runningraw.com/) – sub3 marathon runner but it seems like no one on this forum is a raw vegan marathon runner?
How are you not devastatingly anemic?
If you can safely ramp up to the increased mileage of Intermediate 1, it is better preparation! But 24 miles in week 1 may be a bit much for you if your 'around 20 mpw' is more like 16-20 rather than 18-22 - if 20 is an average and not a ceiling, though, and you are okay with the 43mpw peak, go for it!
I think hillcrusher's diet is vegan, though I don't know if it's raw. You can also ask on the nutrition and weight loss forum for others who share your dietary approach. But regardless, 35 or even 45mpw is not 'heavy mileage' and you should not have problems provided you are consuming enough calories.
I'm vegetarian, leaning towards vegan, and the more running I'm doing, the more I feel better eating vegan. That said, I usually have simple carbs the night before long runs and sometimes the night before MLRs -- just easier on my stomach.
Yeah, I have often ran the morning after fruit dinners (but when I say this, I don't mean like two pieces of fruit, I mean at least 6 bananas, or 7 apples, etc.) and I feel fine during any run below 15mi. Sometimes I do those without water as I'm super hydrated on any given day. But I'm scared to try a 15-18 mi on the same lifestyle I'm living. I guess I'll just take the one piece of advice that seems to resonate with and is being advocated by all people on this forum: listen to my own body and calibrate accordingly!
At your behest and thorough reading of the program, I started Intermediate 1 last week. The mileage is not a problem from what I can predict and neither is the 5 days/week runs.
But is it recommended that a first-time marathoner start with the Intermediate, even with my background, as opposed to Novice? I guess it confuses me that clearly I categorize myself as a novice marathon runner as this will be my first one so the labeling "Intermediate" seems ill-conceived to me. Has anyone ran their first marathon with the Higdon Intermediate 1 program?
Seems to me the plan's names are more about readers ability to identify with one of the plans than about prerequisites to try one of them. I suspect lots of people have run their first marathons on Intermediate 1. Some of them were novices others had been running for years.

I ran my first marathon with a 27 week variation of Intermediate 2. I started at about 25 mpw, ramped up to 50 mpw in 22 weeks, did 50 mpw in week 24, and had a three week taper.
4:15 with a negative split, and a half time a little bit slower than you.

Football is a sport. Goals, victories and trophies are the antecedent effects that propel fans into a frenzy. As beautiful as football is as a sport, it can be likened to an exam where the students answer the questions with the examiner accessing them. Uhmmm, you might wondering where the correlation lies. Come with me and let me show you.
The coach tutoring his player stands as the student writing the exam. He has the tactics while the student has the answers or solutions to the questions as the case may be but he needs to put the answers out on the answer sheet and that is where the pen comes in ditto for the coach as well. He needs to put his tactics to work on the pitch and only his players can do that. A faint pen makes the answers illegible for the examiner, this could adversely affect the student's result. Ditto for the coach, if his players are not good enough and cannot interpret his tactics on the pitch, the chances of the team emerging winner is hugely reduced and the job of the coach is also hanging in the balance.
A student can know the answer, have a very good pen but also needs a good handwriting. A bad handwriting might be difficult to read by the examiner and this could also prevent success ditto for football as well. A team with a sound coach having great players but a boring or terrible style of play could be adjudged a poor team.
Students also have their area of competence. Some students are very good in some subjects while weak in others while some students are just sound all through. This is also evident in football, some managers and clubs are dominant in some competitions but complete weaklings in others.
Based on the above analysis, I would divide the top European clubs into different classes.
Knows the answer, have beautiful handwriting but bad pen will only result in failure. Arsenal is a classical example. Arsene Wenger is one of the best managers around but lack of quality players have robbed him of success in recent seasons.
Knows the answer a bit, beautiful handwriting and a very good pen will ultimately result in success. Barcelona is a true example. Guardiola wasn't the best manager when he took over Barcelona but with the caliber of players at his disposal, he achieved extra-ordinary success. With players like Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, the sky is but the starting point.
Knows the answer a bit, flexible handwriting and good pen will bring partial success. A good example is Manchester United. Sir Fergie is a very good coach with track record of success but his success in Europe as reduced in recent seasons owing to the dominance of Barcelona there. He seemed unable to fashion out a strategy that could halt the Catalans. As for flexible handwriting, Manchester United can play both good and ugly football depending on the environment and opponent. Seems to be the edge they have in the Premier League.
Don't know the answer, trying to imitate good handwriting but a good pen will bring little success. The best example for this is Manchester City. Mancini is a very poor and tactically inept gaffer ( my opinion ) but the players he has been able to amass owing to the humongous wealth of the club owner have brought him relative success in recent seasons but his tactical ineptitude have limited their success to only domestic championships. In Europe, they are as poor as Wigan in the Premier League.
Just get the answer no matter how, poor handwriting and very good pen. This seems to the forte of all of Mourinho's teams.The only language the Portuguese manager understands is victory and doesn't care how it is achieved. Often times, his football had been labeled anti-football by pundits but that had not deterred him from going about it the best way he knows how. Been able to amass players of good quality at Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid has helped him achieve success albeit Ronaldo stands as the peak of his pack.
Don't know the answer, confusing handwriting and a very poor pen. This is the state of the Reds. Liverpool have descended into an abject state since the departure of Alonso, Benitez and Torres in that order. The club managed an Europa League spot and a domestic cup last season but this season seems to be the worst in recent years under rookie manager Brendan Rodgers. He seems unqualified for the Anfield hot seat while the current crop of players are just not good enough. With the abject start the Reds have had this season, Liverpool would be lucky to finish in the first half of the table.
Is there really a relationship between pen and football? Guess there is and I just proved it. (Winks).

Android experts have turned their attention to the Samsung Galaxy Camera that recently announced code, and tried to hack its system to let it become a real phone.
Samsung officially published the Galaxy Camera source code on Samsung's source code a few days ago before its release in the United States, and it's labeled as phone EK-GC100, which runs Android 4.1 system (jelly beans). Galaxy Camera has no call module, but it can be connected to 3G/4G or WiFi network, and then run softwares like Skype through speaker and microphone, which has blurred the line between the cameras and mobile phones.
In the XDA Developer Forum, Android hackers and developers want to change this 16 million-pixel camera into a full-featured mobile phone. They have reached a general consensus, to change the Galaxy Camera into a phone which can make calls via 3G/4G or WiFi, it's just a matter of time, although no one has announced the success.
If possible, will you use an Android camera to make phone calls?

Who will be the champion of the Ramada Quest? Elites leave the dock in search of glory.
Going into yesterday, there were only two Elite anglers who had brought a limit to the scales each day they were on the water. Now there's just one.
It seems like there's always some added drama on the Elite Series, and it appears today will be no different.
Jason Christie just culled for the fourth time with a whopping 5-pound largemouth.
Terry Scroggins is fishing a Shaky Head in about 12 to 16 feet of water. He feels like he's catching a little of both spawners and prespawners. He's on a bank now that he said he went down on Day One for14 pounds. "I've not caught one here since," he said. "It's weird." No sooner than he said that, he set the hook. It turned out to be a short smallmouth.
Terry Scroggins just boated his third keeper. He's completed the trifecta. He has a smallmouth, largemouth and a spot. All total, they weigh about 5 pounds. "I've got to get rid of all of them," he said. "But they are getting about ready to start biting."
Not far from Scroggins latest spot, Fred Roumbanis is fishing. Scroggins made another short move and we took the time to check in with Roumbanis. He has two for about 5 1/2 pounds, one of those is a 3 1/2 pound spotted bass he called a "bonus." "I've not been catching anything until about 1 pm," he said. "If I can get another one of those it could be a real big day." We're back on Big Show at the moment. But we'll keep an eye on Boom Boom Roumbanis.
Scroggins has made his biggest move so far. He told us "let's move across the lake and go catch some." Scroggins has the fastest boat on tour. He never got out of sight but by the time he was pulling in a 2-pound black. That gives him two in the well for 3 1/2 pounds. His prophecy of catching some was dead on.
Terry Scroggins has made three or four moves this morning. While most of our finalists seem to have settled on an area and are staying close, Scroggins, at least in these opening hours, appears to be on a fishing trip. He's hitting spots, running to the next one, chasing breaking fish and doing whatever seems natural. He may get somewhere eventually and bear down but right now he's just hitting some high points.

So I thought i'd start a thread for my boy to track his progress as he starts his new job as a trail horse/ lower level (intro) dressage horse.
We only moved a mile down the road but it looks like a completely different place, more trees and less fattening grass We're right next to the local metro park with miles of trails right on our doorstep.
So without further waffle...
His last photo at his old barn, all clean and pretty ready for the journey:
He got into the trailer without any complaint once he saw I was inside and hadn't been eaten. Then we were off.
1 mile down the road he got off, sweaty and looking like he hadn't had a bath (no photos of this bit, sorry, my camera was in the car)
In his new stall, very nice (my lovely friend bought him a sparkly new halter for his journey). He was a little freaked out but calmed right down once he'd had a good brushing and eaten some carrots and done some stretching exercises.
Today he went out with his new herd for the first time and I was told there was only a little bit of drama but other than that it went well. He really wants to be friends with the horses at the new place, but some of them aren't going for it yet.
At least all this running and exercise is good for him, and in his new place he looks pretty snazzy :)

Nice, but don´t stay here if organisation and reliability is very important for you...
The guest house is a nice enough place, but it feels like the manager has run the place for a week or so...
Almost no clue regarding what guests are coming or going, had to go and make a spare key for our room because "there´s only one", forgot to "tell the other guest to leave, but you can have this room if I go and buy a real bed first?" =) And, make sure to bring cash payment, to the penny, because it´s not sure that you will get your change back if you don´t get the opportunity to remind the manager that he owes you.... Ha ha, quite funny actually, but maybe not what you expect from a hotel manager.... But, he is really nice and really tries to be helpful, and the guesthouse is nice and clean (clean enough anyway) but... hmmm. Well, al and al, I think you can do much worse!

The Landlord wasn`t aware of our reservation, which is why we only got a really tiny room which was almost exactly the size of the bed and had no key to lock it at night.
The bigger rooms wouldn`t have been that bad - if we got one of those, my impression would have been a little better, I suppose. What was really nice though was, that the landlord went down with the price because of the smaller room!

From Brazil
A burst of happiness! There is no other way of describing the music of Trio Mocoto. A 60s icon, they are like a mythological phoenix, rising from the ashes with results that are aflame! Perfectly samba-licious, this jovial trio has the power to summon sunshine on the stormiest days with their easy samba rock music, with just the right hint of jazz. One word magical!Biography by Andy Morgan, July 2002:If you didnt get your fill of samba football during the recent World Cup then heres a chance to keep the magic alive but its your own fancy footwork thatll be put to the test. The trio of musicians in Trio Mocotó; Fritz, Nereu and João Parahyba met in São Paolo, Brazil, in the late 1960s with hearts and ears full of black soul, British and US rock and jazz. They proceeded to blend all of these together with the pure samba that flowed through their veins and create a very unique samba-soul-rock hybrid. Opportunity knocked in 1969 when the great Jorge Ben asked Trio Mocotó to be his backing band during the recording of two seminal albums: Jorge Ben 1969 and Força Bruta. When the former shimmied its way through to the top of the charts, with support from the hit song País Tropical, Jorge Ben took his new protégés with him on his rocketing rise to fame. The trio also released several albums under their own name, one of which included the immense hit Coqueiro Verde, and their happy, sassy, inventive sound filled the Brazilian air throughout the 1970s. These solo albums were to become rare and extremely desirable collectors items among fans of Brazilian music worldwide. After recording their last album in 1977 Trio Mocotó, took a short break, well almost twenty-five years, before recording and releasing a new album called Samba Rock for the Ziriguiboom label in 2001. Trio Mocotó are merchants of pure musical sunshine, guaranteed to give you a lift whatever the weather, and whatever the score. Short biography 2002:Legendary 70's group Trio Mocoto bring you a joyful and humorous slice of samba-soul-rock with more groovy finger-snappin' vibes than you can wave a winged collar at. Beautifully crafted sounds to sway your flares to - big time! Biography from www.crammed.beApril 2002:Let us rejoice : the unique samba-soul-rock sound of legendary '70s band Trio Mocoto is back with 'Samba Rock', their first release since 1977. Based in Sao Paulo, the three original members Fritz, Nereu and Joao Parahyba return to rock the boat, bringing their energy and good vibes into our souls (and dancefloors) once again.Referred to by many as the "Fathers of the samba soul beat", the band was formed in the late '60s. Trio Mocoto was brought to fame in 1969, when they were invited by Jorge Ben to be his backing band for the entire "Jorge Ben 1969" and "ForÁa Bruta" albums. The former turned out to be Jorge's breakthrough album (it included the original version of his big hit "PaÌs Tropical"). After several hit singles (including "Coqueiro Verde") under their own name, the Trio went on to record three albums, which have now become collectors' items sought out by DJs the world over.Everything was permitted on Planet Mocoto. The norm was happiness, freedom and an overwhelming sense of musical adventure, without barriers or preconceived ideas. The repertoire, several of their own originals aside, included songs by the finest writers, from Roberto and Erasmo Carlos to Toquinho and VinÌcius, Ary Barroso to Burt Bacharach, Jorge Ben to Tim Maia. All very bouncy, groovy and full of the unique Mocoto flavor.

Seamless integration of Solid Edge and NX CAM helps Beijing Xingda significantly speed up design and machining processes, enabling the company to handle more complex products
Founded in 1988, Beijing Xingda Technology Development Company is a hi-tech enterprise that provides precision electromechanical products and equipment. As the industry leader in China, Beijing Xingda enjoys an extremely high reputation among its clients for delivering high-quality products. After many years' experience, Beijing Xingda has been able to build a strong team of technicians who specialize in using precision machinery design techniques and simulation technology to deliver its products. The company also excels at leveraging high-pressure fluid and long-term sealing technology, automation control technology and hydraulic drive technology as well as power drive technology and electromechanical system integration technology.
With a work force of 1,100 employees, Beijing Xingda has established itself as a major player in the general machinery industry, in addition to its ongoing leadership role in the precision electromechanical sector.
Though the company has enjoyed considerable business success, it has faced many challenges in the product development area. The cycle time for new product development was too long. The transition from modeling to NC programming was time-consuming. "Many of these problems resulted from our original product design method, which was slow, error-prone and difficult to use," says Lin Xiaoqing, deputy chief engineer at Beijing Xingda. In addition, the integration with its CAM software was far from satisfactory.
To address these issues, Beijing Xingda looked for a new CAD solution that could meet several key requirements. First of all, the company wanted a 3D design solution that was intuitive and easy to use so that its designers could quickly master the new techonology. Second, it wanted a solution that was able to rapidly deliver production-ready product designs and drawings. Third, it was very important to have a solution that could be tightly integrated with the company's NX™ CAM software. It would be very helpful if the CAD 3D data could be used directly in the CAM solution. Finally, the company wanted a solution at a reasonable price.
To get what it wanted, Beijing Xingda evaluated a number of options, including Solid Edge® software, SolidWorks® software and Autodesk Inventor® software. The company finally selected Solid Edge, because it could meet all of its requirements. For example, Solid Edge integrates seamlessly with NX CAM. When an engineer finishes product design in Solid Edge, he or she can transfer the 3D model data into the CAM environment with only one button click and start NC programing. There is no need for data translation and no loss of data. At the same time, Beijing Xingda was impressed that Solid Edge is very easy to learn and use, provides very fast modeling capabilities, produces best-in-class 2D drawings capabilities in accord with GB (Guóbiao, the national standards used in China), provides easy-to-use customization functionalities and is priced very reasonably. Senior management noted that it was no surprise that the company chose Solid Edge.
Beijing Xingda considered the move from 2D to 3D as a strategic step for the whole company to improve productivity and competitiveness. So it set up specific policies to push the adoption of the Solid Edge 3D solution. For example, the company connected an employee's performance with his or her use of the 3D technology. Employees who actively used 3D design received rewards. As a result, all designers and process engineers moved to the Solid Edge 3D design platform within three months.
Beijing Xingda soon enjoyed distinct improvements in product quality and overall productivity. It used to be very difficult to finish some complex parts in the 2D environment. But now it is very easy to finish the same tasks in Solid Edge. Consequently, the company saw great improvement in handling complex parts in terms of quantity as well as capability. Moreover, the company benefited significantly from the customization capabilities of Solid Edge. As most of Beijing Xingda's products share some common parts, the company leveraged the customization tools of Solid Edge to build a large number of templates for tooling design. With these templates, designers don't need to re-invent the wheel, thus substantial time is saved in designing new tooling. The company was very happy to see that the number of new products it could finish each year has doubled.
Beijing Xingda was also very pleased with the services it got from Beijing Henghua Chuangyi, Siemens PLM Software's channel partner for the Velocity Series™ portfolio. Beijing Henghua Chuangyi has more than ten years of experience with Solid Edge. It not only has a strong technical team, but also knows very well the values that Solid Edge can bring to customers. In this project, Henghua Chuangyi helped Beijing Xingda identify the best solution, Solid Edge, and then deliver customized training for end users. Its efforts eliminated the worries of the company's existing 2D CAD users, smoothing the way for the upgrade to Solid Edge 3D. What made Beijing Xingda "rest assured" during the process of adopting Solid Edge was that Henghua Chuangyi visited the company regularly and provided technical support accordingly. The continued commitment from Henghua Chuangyi helped make the adoption of Solid Edge within Beijing Xingda a real success.
Beijing Xingda has received excellent returns for its investment in Solid Edge. Beijing Xingda reduced its design cycle time by 20 to 40 percent. Its design and machining turnaround processes are much smoother. Moreover, the company has doubled the number of products it delivers every year.

Crennel Intriguing Option To Succeed Haley
The potential replacements for fired Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley are flying fast and furious. Everyone from Jeff Fisher to Kirk Ferentz to Josh McDaniels has been mentioned as potential favorites for the job.
For now, defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel will take the reigns on an interim basis. Adam Teicher of the KC Star was on 610 Sports Radio in Kansas City talking about Crennel and thought he was not only perfect now but also should get a long look as the permanent replacement.
"This is the type of guy the Chiefs need," the Chiefs beat writer told host Danny Parkins.
If Crennel wants the job, it's not the worst idea.
The Chiefs wouldn't have to worry about disrupting what, for the most part, has been an improving unit. If they were to hire someone from outside the organization, there's obviously a chance they wouldn't even want to run the 3-4, which would push Crennel out the door.
Hiring Crennel allows consistency on defense and would also let Scott Pioli hand pick an outside offensive coordinator (more likely where McDaniels would fit in) to come in and run a unit that will get Jamaal Charles and Tony Moeaki back next season.

Class wins $10,000 reboot in national contest
Riverside's rigorous effort beats hundreds to receive $10,000 classroom makeover
February 26, 2013 - Updated: 7:35 a.m.
Mindy Shaw never considered Riverside Elementary School an underdog to win a national classroom makeover contest – or at least if she did, the fifth-grade teacher didn't show it.
Some doubt crept in Monday morning, however, and Shaw's hands shook as she waited to hear whether the school won a $10,000 grand prize in the Great American Classroom Makeover contest.
Not only did Riverside Elementary School win, "we won by a landslide," said Shaw, who put forth a never-say-die effort to win money to upgrade the school's antiquated computer lab.
"They were in first place a majority of the contest. They had 29,152 votes, and that is a record," said Christina Leavy, a Great American Financial Resources marketing services specialist. "Mindy put in a tremendous effort. She used every resource at her disposal."
Shaw entered the national contest when she saw a flier in a National Education Association magazine. She wrote a 300-word essay about the school's aged computer lab, took a picture showing a pile of computers in disrepair, and sent them to the contest.
The school landed one of 10 finalist spots out of 550 entries nationwide. The ultimate decision was up to an online vote, and the fifth-grade teacher, who is not a social networker herself, worked all the angles she could think of to encourage votes for Riverside.
Riverside – a district of about 1,700 students 35 miles north of Spokane – competed for the prize against schools in Austin, Texas; Wilmington, Del.; and Detroit.
The announcement came at 8:45 a.m. Monday over the phone, Shaw said. "The kids' faces were precious. I looked up and their jaws were dropped open. When I hung up, they screamed and ran up and hugged me."
Riverside's superintendent was excited too. "It is incredible," said Roberta Kramer.
In addition to the prize money, two anonymous donors offered the district $8,000 to purchase computers, school officials said.
"(Mindy) worked so hard at this, and I'm so proud of her," Kramer said. "The support we've had from people in the community and around the world has been amazing."
State chips in
Riverside School District officials also learned Monday the district will receive computers through a state program called Computers for Kids. The district will receive 90 computers, eight laptops and 48 monitors. Seven computers will go to Riverside Elementary and the rest of the equipment will go to Riverside High School.
"The equipment is made available through lease returns at the state Department of Enterprise Services and allocated by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction," said Jennifer Reynolds, an Enterprise Services spokeswoman. The program redistributes technology for use by school districts across the state.

Sorry for the extended absence, we went to SF last weekend, and I still haven't figured out how to email pics in… but I have lots! Starting with these:
The night before we left, I whipped this one up, and it looks SO cute on her! It's the same idea as this shirt, which was itself based on this dress, but longer, obvi.
anyway, I'm working on the pattern now… and I need a name.
Oh, and btw, this dress is up next:
I'm madly in love with this one….
3 Comments
How about "Hot Mama"!
Oh, wait. You wanted a name for the dress. Oh. Um…
How about "Hot Mama"? Because I'm pretty sure if I was wearing it, I'd feel like a hot mama, too! Lauren, of course, is the hottest.
Haha, Melissa I just saw this! Thanks for the awesome compliment! You are totally hot and would look great in this dress!

On Thursday the NFL and the NFLPA argued in front of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals over the legality of a lockout in football. And by noon CST, court had adjourned and the 8th Circuit had let the NFL know that a ruling would come in "due course," but that both sides were free to settle their dispute.
|NFL Labor
"We wouldn't be all that hurt if you go out and settle that case," Judge Kermit Bye said, with a smile, to each side's respective attorneys.
Bye was the dissenting judge in the when the 8th Circuit twice ruled 2-1 in favor of keeping the lockout in place, first temporarily and then in a more permanent fashion.
The questions from the panel of judges, as we noted earlier, seemed to focus on the issue of whether or not the NFLPA had "actually" decertified. The NFL contends that the union's decision to decertify is simply predicated on the goal of gaining legal leverage.
Bye also added that the ruling could be one "that neither side will like."

The NFL post-season doesnt begin until Jan. 4-5, but as far as the Packers are concerned, the playoffs have already started.
Its a win-or-go-home mentality for us, said cornerback Micah Hyde of Sundays game against Pittsburgh.
The Packers will capture the NFC North title if they win their final two games against the Steelers and Chicago Bears.
Coach Mike McCarthy is treating the game as a semifinal in the Packers pursuit of a third straight division title.
We view this as a semifinal game, said McCarthy. Its a game we have to have. Its at home. Its against a physical football team, so were just kinda staying on target, whats right in front of us.
McCarthy essentially told his players to turn the TVs off in the team cafeteria so they dont get caught up in playoff chatter.
We need to pay attention to the Pittsburgh Steeler video and stay on top of the things we need to do to win this game, said McCarthy. But we clearly understand where we are in our season, what weve been through, what we gained Sunday in Dallas. But this is about the next opportunity.
After the Packers emotional victory over the Cowboys, when they overcame a 23-point deficit, McCarthy said its important the team doesnt experience a letdown.
History will tell you your team is open for that, said McCarthy. Anytime you rise to a level of performance that our team rose to in the second half you have to be ready for a letdown. So, thats something I look at every single week when I set the practice plan, exactly how much were going to do, and we address it with our football team.

The program was a light one, featuring some charming and inventive chorus and orchestra arrangements of traditional carols by Mormon Tabernacle Choir music director Mack Wilberg. His delicate version of "Silent Night" was especially lovely. We also got two delightful orchestral collections of carols: Jeff Tyzik's ("Holiday Moods Suite II") and my personal favorite, Leroy Anderson's "Christmas Festival", with its ingenious finale combining "Joy to the World" and "Jingle Bells."
Mr. Stare conducted all of this with the same care and attention to detail he lavished on the one core "classical" piece on the program, the "Waltz of the Flowers" from "The Nutcracker". Even the lightest of "light classics" benefits from a fully committed performance, after all.
Symphony IN UNISON® Chorus director Kevin McBeth clearly put in a lot of work with his young singers, and it showed in their generally polished sound and clear diction. They had a bit of difficulty making all the lyrics of Frederick Silver's hilarious "The Twelve Days After Christmas" clear, but that would be a challenge even for a professional ensemble.
Debby Boone's two sets were a bit dull but, as she noted several times, she was fighting laryngitis and (I assume) either a bad cold or the flu. As a singer of sorts myself, I can only sympathize; it's difficult to perform when you feel like hell. Unfortunately, when you're the solo performer there's no understudy, so you just have to soldier on. The audience was sympathetic, in any case, which is much to their credit.
The segment with Santa (Whit Reichert, in one of his usual exceptional performances) was cute, including a bit in which the jolly old elf "conducted" the orchestra in Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride" and engaged in some byplay with Mr. Stare. It was also short, recalling Polonius's comment that brevity is the soul of wit.
The symphony's "Holiday Celebration" program repeats Saturday at 2 and 7 PM and Sunday at 2 PM, December 22 and 23. Next on the calendar: a showing of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", with the score performed live by the orchestra and the men's chorus conducted by Richard Kaufman. Performances are Friday through Sunday, December 28-30. The symphony concludes the year, as always, with a New Year's Eve concert under the baton of David Robertson.

vice is 10 years old *giveaway*
30 comments:
Ahh awesome giveaway! :)ReplyDelete
I follow you and my twitter is @toric_ x
I'll be honest I remember hearing about vice along time ago but never looked into it, I have however just spent ages on its website reading the articles, so interesting and different! I have just finished The cat offers itself, where a cat was cured of cancer through a herbal remedy (i've always been interested in things like that)Also looking through the awesome photos! @megan_wsb xReplyDelete
Being a resident of London myself, I thought the Vice article about the unseen effects of the olympics was pretty striking and really put capital life into perspective. Particularly seeing people being removed from their homes to make way for stadium construction. The negative aspect of the documentary was quite shocking and really made you think about how much affect the games had on some peopleReplyDelete
My twitter name is @comtox.
I love Vice! I've been getting it through my door every month for the past 3 years. Also, I love your blog!ReplyDelete
My twitter is: @rachelsulek
:) xx
Oooh lovely! I'm following you via GFC and my Twitter handle is @letsgetwilde :)ReplyDelete
hiya zoe! i follow via gfc (bloglovin too!), and my twitter is @djpremierinn. :) xxReplyDelete
Hi Zoe, great competition! I follow by GFC and my twitter is @TreatmentAdv xReplyDelete
Hi Zoe! What a great comp, happy birthday Vice :)ReplyDelete
I follow on GFC, my twitter is @pottsy_
This is awesome, I would love to enter!! Amazing prizes.ReplyDelete
Basically if I were to win this I will get a tattoo of your face across my chest.ReplyDelete
L xxx
Happy Birthday VICEReplyDelete
I would quite like to win this competition. I don't win things much, although I did get a free green tea from PRET today. (I hope this does not make me less worthy, but I thought it important to be honest).
I have read VICE since I was 15. I endeavour to work for them one day. my blog is sarcasmandtwosugars.com if you're interestedReplyDelete
Is that Black Lips I see?! Favourite Vice article, without doubt, is the one (I can't remember the exact title) called "We went on a PR holiday to Marbella", because who could resist that heady mixture of foam and hormones? and an ex-member of BEP. And Dalston Superstars was a good'un too. My twitter's @rebeccacohen and blog's http://itscohen.blogspot.com/. xxReplyDelete
Never really got the mgazine unfurtunately i recently move to London, bub i always been following the website. My favourite is a documentary about the Republic of Kazantip! Never seen something like that ans since then i'm collecting money to go check it out! AMAZINGReplyDelete
Really hope to win

My girlfriend's Dad visited & picked up the copy on the table & opened it on 'The Vice Guide to Shagging Muslims' so that's probably my favourite article. I'm convinced the mags cursed in that respect - a mate of mine was volunteering at a Citizens Advice Bureau & got sacked thanks to the American Apparel ad on the back cover of the issue he left on his desk.ReplyDelete
In short: The Vice Guide to North Korea has to be my favorite article.ReplyDelete
I am absolutely fascinated by all the surreal articles about places like the underground palace of LSD or the Battleship Island. I have friends into shipwreck diving and it makes me wanna go commando on a flying Nautilus. Articles keep showing up about visiting abandoned places. I have thing for old mansion's attic, cave and dungeons. The catacomb of Paris are fascinating too. It's like breaking into the past and you can still feel people's presence. Walls are screaming at you and any decaying belonging is begging to tell you their story. Some articles are like doors to the twilight zone.
YADIFUCKINGDA I'm willing to swap drugs and/or sex for a ticket to the VICE party tonight!! Deal? @macmental
Great prize! Thanks for offering, you can reach me on @markjenkins on Twitter. Thank you. MarkReplyDelete
Favourite article is the guide to Libya for vice tv. If it has to be a text based then Hamilton Morris 'does cocaine make you smarter'. @sdooneReplyDelete
vice is literally one my favourite magazines everrrr, was forever pinching my best friend's big brothers copies! He noticed after a while though, so we had a bit of a Vice library going ooooon! It was like the best book club ever!ReplyDelete
Basically love the Pretty Girl Bullshit column, but 'Engagement Chicken' (http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/the-engagement-chicken-myth) is just the best.ReplyDelete
I mean.. 'maybe we should re-name this "subtly encouraging monogamy chicken"?' Classic.
It's @holleyalex :)

Time must be an illusion!! The crazy ish' about being in a computer simulation, http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/whoa-dude-are-we-inside-a-computer-right-now-0000329-v19n9 That blew my computer mind.That prize would be an honour.,VICEReplyDelete
Oh sounds amazing!ReplyDelete
I just would like to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you have here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for more soon.

The reason that this area is so popular, GW2 gold is because the items that monsters can drop is severely limited, to include only basic magical weapons. There is one drop that wow items people cherish in pre searing, and that are the vials of dye. People swtor leveling kill mob after mob seeking out white and black dyes, because they sell to players and merchants for 4,000 to 8,000 gold.ReplyDelete

Everyone got Hate, like a fukn iPod...
Since when did it become 'cool' to be a hater? since when was it tha normal to bring other people down, even if it doesn't benefit them? People are just so jealous of others that they can't stand to see someone doing well. People need to open their eyes and realize tha way things are going won't last long. Mainly in tha US.. tha presidential campaigns have really brought civil squabbling to an all-time high. People are wishing death on Obama.. simply because he has a vision and wants to help America and it's people, what tha fuck is wrong with that? I was a moderate before tha campaigns began.. and as I research issues and views of each candidate I realize that Sen. Obama is a much better choice for me and everyone around me. Sen. McCain may have him beat on foreign policy, but to really be effective, u must be diplomatic during foreign relations. If I was tha son of a Oil-Tycoon CEO, McCain would be my pick. But as a small-fry that most of u are out there, small-business owners, working class, you are gettin shit on by McCain.. Obama will take tha $4 billion tax cuts away from the Oil companies and give it to tha hard workin little guys, whats wrong with that? I just think that tha more divided a nation becomes, the weaker they appear. Politics aside, people should just wake up and learn to tolerate other people in the world around them. They aren't going away, deal with it. So many haters.. as a rule of thumb:
Worry about yourself and how you are going to make it, Don't worry about what the next guy is doing. Don't try to make your way by getting over on other people.

Add Hiroyuki Nakajima to the list of possible replacements for teams searching for a new shortstop in 2011.
As Yahoo! Japan reports , Nakajima (image courtesy Nippon Pro Baseball) will likely be posted for MLB teams to bid on. Nakajima is considered the second-best hitter in Japan by Patrick Newman, who runs the NBP Tracker , a blog dedicated to Japanese baseball. Newman, in an article for Fangraphs, said that Nakajima has solid gap power and is considered a good fielder. The 28-year-old primarily plays on turf, however, so his longevity at the position has to be questioned.
The righty replaced Kazuo Matsui at short for Seibu after Matsui left for the States. Nakajima quickly emerged as one of the league's better players and hit .364/.516/.545 in the 2009 World Baseball Classic after leading the Lions to a Japan Series victory in 2008. He homered off Koji Uehara to win Game 1 and then blasted Hisanori Takahashi the next day in an eventual loss. Both pitchers are now pitching for the Orioles and Mets, respectively, turning in solid seasons in advance of free agency.
Nakajima hit .314/.393/.511 in 579 plate appearances in 2010 and has been hit at least 10 times per year since becoming a full-time player. There figure to be no shortage of teams interested in Nakajima. The Yankees, who have Derek Jeter expiring, could have interest along with the Mariners, who are owned by a Japanese corporation (Nintendo) and are in the market for a shortstop.
Below, you can see Nakajima hitting a home run off Dicky Gonzalez. The man he does a high-five routine with is Dee Brown .

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) - Jimmie Johnson has a history of dominance
at Lowe's Motor Speedway, but had never started from the pole in
the All-Star race.
After a speedy, mistake-free performance on Friday, the
decorated driver can check off that accomplishment, too.
The three-time defending Sprint Cup points champion won five of
six points races here from 2003-05. He's in position to return to
the top spot after being the star of the unusual qualifying format.
Teams had to go three laps and make a four-tire pit stop without
speeding down pit road or leaving loose lug nuts.
Time penalties for those infractions cost several drivers, but
not Johnson. He finished in 2 minutes, 1.416 seconds.
Kurt Busch will start second Saturday night.

Favre's Last NFL Pass In Hands of Legless Soldier
With Brett Favre retiring from the NFL for good (or is he?), the last ball tossed by the Green Bay gunslinger is certain to be a valuable addition to the Hall of Fame (or some very rich Packers fan's personal collection). But they'll have to get it from Greg Gadson first.

FAA's Ted Kapita had a big game for the Falcons on Tuesday.

Florida Air Academy left another team in the dust on its run toward a state title Tuesday night, eliminating Lake Worth Christian 93-58 in the Class 3A regional semifinals.
Julius Johnson scored a game-high 36 points for the Falcons, but it was Ted Kapita who stepped up big for the team, adding 28 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks in the one-sided victory.
"Today, my team did great," Kapita said. "We worked hard all week. They were a good team, and that was a tough game, but my team played tough defense." ...

KUSA - A new kind of treadmill that defies the laws of physics is gaining popularity in the medical community for its use in rehabbing injuries.
The "anti-gravity" treadmill - known at the AlterG - is an FDA-approved piece of equipment that helps the body not take the kind of pounding it would at full gravity.
The patient puts on special shorts that zip to the machine, creating a vacuum from the waist down. Air is then pumped into the area, easing the effects of gravity.
Some patients say it feels like running on the moon. Doctors say it's helping them start physical therapy treatments sooner.
"Because of the anti-gravity technology, we can now put a patient in there and be able to start any type of training - whether it's endurance training, gait training or balance training at a much faster rate," Hector Jason, a physical therapist, said.
In addition to rehab, the treadmill is also helpful for an overweight patient looking to start an exercise program or for runners wanting to add miles to their workout without the pounding on their feet.
To learn more about the treadmill, visit the manufacture website at www.alterg.com.

Asheville police command staff have set up at Martin Luther King Drive and Hazzard as a standoff continues on Max Street.

A man repeatedly firing a gun from outside his apartment shut down an Asheville street and nearby community center Thursday, leaving some residents stranded as about 30 city officers responded to the site.
Neighbors said a man police identified as Lamonte Monsanto, 41, fired the gun multiple times over a span of about eight hours, setting up a standoff that started about noon and continued into Thursday night. Police did not think Monsanto was targeting anyone as he fired the gun from a deck.
It was the second time Thursday that police responded to the residence at 27 Max St., off of South ...
